Chapter 12: New Grudges and Rivals

The two ninja meet down on the floor.

Hana toke a sniff. Blasting powder and poisen. She could smell it.

Daichi's scroll seened a bit different now. Hana knew what was in that scroll.

Shikamaru nodded."Begin."

The two stood there for a moment.

Yukki barked, and Hana ran behind Daichi, and attacked from behind.

Daichi jumped out of the way, grabbing his scroll from his back.

Hana jumped back as Daichi summoned something from his scroll.

A puppet layed before her.

Daichi attached his chakra threads.

The puppet rose.

Kankuro laughed."Using the Crow so fast?"

The Crow stood before Hana.

Hana covered her nose."Your puppet reeks of poison."

"Very sharp sences Inuzuka."He smiled."You won't win."

The Crow surged foward.

Hana got out of the way.

Daichi kept his eyes on her, noticing that the dog was gone.

Where was it?

Yukki popped up behind Daichi.

Daichi looked behind him.

Hana shouted."Flash Fang!"

Yukki began to spin.

Daichi jumpped, and saw Hana and Yukki, both spinning like two fangs, crash into each other.

The Crow fell to the ground, shattered.

Hana laughed."Looks like I have the advantage."

"Really?"Daichi asked.

His finger twiched, and one of the Crow's arms flew at her, blade popping out of it.

Hana notticed to late. The blade skimmed along her arm.

Hana clutched her arm in pain.

Daichi landed, and laughed.

"The poisen won't kill, but it will cause paralisis."He turned.

Hana toke her chance.

"Transformation jutsu,"she said, Yukki getting on her back,"Human Beast Clone."

Yukki became an exact copy of Hana.

Daichi turned.

"Fang Over Fang."The two came at him with incredible speed.

Daichi summoned another puppet.

"Salamander."

The Salamander opened its sheilds, and stopped the two of them.

Daichi smiled, then heard something to his side.

He jumped.

Another Fang over fang came from his side.

The two stopped by the Salamander vanished in smoke.

"Shadow Clones,"he cursed.

Hana and Yukki came up from below him.

Then, one of them, Hana began to swerve.

"My poisen is taking its effect."He smiled.

Hana went off to the side, but Yukki hit her mark.

Hana crashed into the wall.

Daichi fell back to the ground, groaning.

Hana, getting up, looked at where Daichi landed. She fell down, overcome by the poisen.

Daichi rose."That was a close one."

The Slamander, which was laying on top of Daichi, fell down to the floor. He had pulled it to his aid to block Hana's attack.

Daichi stretched his limbs.

Yukki ran to Hana's aid, barking.

Shikamaru nodded."The winner is Daichi."

Haruka nodded."Makes sence."

Kurosuna gave a slight laugh."Looks like we might be heading to the finals as a team."

Some medical ninja carried Hana away to be treated for her injurys.

Shikamaru looked at them all."We will be taking a small break so that the arena can be fixed."

Kushina looked to see the damage. Over all the fights so far, the arena had taken a lot of damage.


Ryo smiled."Their taking a break."

Arufa grunted."You mind helping place the statue? We need that jinchuuriki."

Ryo laughed."The ninetails will be nothing once we claim it."

"Madara thought the same thing Ryo,"Taki stated.

Arufa nodded."Now come on. This statue isn't going to summon itself."

They all nodded.

They made the hand signs, and the statue appeared above the ground.

The statue, same on Pain and the Akatsuki used to seal the tailed-beasts, glowed.

"They don't know we already have the eight-tails, so we are clear to take this jinchuuriki with out any major problems."Arufa laughed.

Ryo nodded."True, but they still won't hand over that brat, just like the Hokage. It also dosen't help that the two are friends."

Taki laughed."Thats why we get him when he leaves. Won't draw any suspition."

"It will be fun at least,"Ryo laughed.


Shikamaru held his hand to the screen."The next fight will be..."

The screen went into a blur, and then showed the names.

"Daizo vs Hizone Aburame."

Daizo, a lightning ninja, and Hizone walked down.

Daizo saw Hizone's chakra. Why were there so many different chakras in him?

Shikamaru signaled the fight to begin.

Daizo grabbed a kunai, and threw it at Hizone.

A wall of bugs stopped it, and threw it back.

Aburame Clan. Right, the bug clan of the Leaf.

Daizo focused his chakra into his hand."Devestating Strike!"

Hizone dodged, only to have a small crater form where he stood.

He landed, his eyes as blank as usual.

He pounted his hand, and a swarm of his insests attacked Daizo.

Gano made his hand signs."Water Style: Aqua Wave."

A wave of water washed over the inests, forcing them to fall to the ground.

"Bugs are nothing to the water,"Daizo said, smiling.

Hizone pointed his hand. Another swarm of insects attacked Gano.

Daizo was laughing."Water Style: Aqua Wave."

The bugs went through the water, not effected.

Daizo jumped back."Water insects, ehh?"he asked.

Hizone nodded."You were getting full of yourself. Never underestimate me."

Daizo made another set of hand signs."Water Style: Black Punch."

His fist became covered in black liquid. He punched the bugs, and they all burst into flame.

Hizone jumped back, and sent more insects at Daizo.

Daizo made another fist of black liquid, and punched the insects again.

Daizo looked to see a couple land on him, but two couldn't hrt him.

He made another set of hand signs."Water Style: Black Wave."

A wave of black water burned away the insects.

Hizone jumped over it. a drop of the liquid got on his arm. The pain was overwelming, but he forced back a cry.

Daizo felt a sudden surge of chakra coming from Hizone.

Daizo readyed another jutsu."Secret Art: One-Thousand Neddles."

The liquid turned into solid shapes. Neddles.

Hizone summoned his insects to protect him.

They were on the ground burning.

Hizone had a neddle lodged in his arm. He pulled it out.

"My liquid is different than you think,"Daizo stated."It attacks the chakra network."

Daizo smiled as he saw the chakra become weaker in Hizone's arm.

Hizone sent his wave of insects at Gano.

Daizo used his liquid to stop them. But, on of them landed on his chest, with the other two. No, there were five other ones.

He suddenly felt weaker. He looked at the bugs, and saw the flowing with chakra.

"No,"he said.

Hizone squessed his hand, and the bugs exploded.

The small explosions knocked the air out of Daizo.

He passed out, not able to deal with it much longer.

Shikamaru stated,"The winner, Hizone Aburame."

Hizone began to walk to his sensei, only to have his arm burst into pain, forcing him to the floor.

Both Hizone and Daizo were rushed off.


After making sure all the black liquid was gone, Shikamaru motioned to the screen once more.

The names popped up."Sasui vs Matzu."

The other two Cloud ninja walked out.

The first one, Sasui, had a deep tan, and wore white clothes. He wore a sleveless shirt, regular pants, and a white scarf covering his mouth. His headband was around his head. His hair was blonde, like most from the land of lightning, and messy.

The other, Matzu, had less of a tan, but wore red pants, a red shirt, like Sasui's, and no scarf. He wore his headband on his left calf. His hair was longer. It was held into a short rat tail going down his back.

Shikamaru waved his hand, and the fight began.

The two ninja were skilled. They faught with constant effort.

Sasui made a hand sign."Lightning Style: Shocking Bolt."He fired a lightning bolt from his hand, which caught his team mate in the arm.

Matzu ignored the pain, grabbed a sword that was on his back, and made a slice."Clud Style: Cresent Moon Slice."

Sasui got out of the way.

"Lightning Style: Devestation!"Matzu shouted.

Clouds formed over their heads. Storm clouds.

Sasui began to dodge bolts of lightning as they were all aimed at him.

Sasui didn't have time for a jutsu, so he grabbed a kunai from his pouch, and ran at Matzu.

The two blades meet, and were now in a sword fight.

Sasui was holding his own, with both the lightning and Matzu.

Sasui got behind Matzu, and Matzu said,"Cloud Style: Back Slice."

Sasui blocked it just in time. He was sent back, and hit the wall.

Matzu put his sword to Sasui's neck."You done."

Sasui passed out, and Matzu put his sword away.

Shikamaru appeared."The winner is Matzu."


After clearing the arena again, Shikamaru motioned to the screen, and the last two names popped up."Ame vs Haruka."

The two ninja walked down.

The two looked at each other, looking for weaknesses.

Shikamaru nodded."Begin!"

The two stood there for a moment. Ame made the first move.

She threw a kunai.

Haruka dodged, and ran foward. She focused her chakra into her fist.

She punched Ame in the stomache.

Ame toke it, and made her hand signs."Water Style:Mouth of the Serpent."

Haruka got out of the way as the jutsu hit where she was standing.

Ame stood up strait."Water Style: Scolding Geyser."

A turret of water urupted underneath Haruka's feet.

She jumped out of the way in time, and stood strait.

She ran forward, and punched Ame again.

Ame dodged enough, only to be hit in the shoulder.

But, Haruka didn't run this time. she kept up her assault.

Ame was to busy dodging to form hand signs.

Haruka hit Ame on the side of the face, sending her back.

She stood up, only to Haruka hit her in the shoulder. But, this time, Ame's shoulder went slack.

This was a problem. Ame had never faught a medical ninja this skilled.

She stood up, and pulled out a shuriken

It landed in Haruka's arm.

Haruka pulled it out and stopped the bleeding. She threw it back, but put some of her chakra in it.

It landed in Ame's limp shoulder.

She doubled over as Haruka's chakra attack her's.

Haruka ran up, and was about to punch Ame, only to have Ame stand up.

Ame forced her arm to move, even though she has a shuriken in her shoulder.

"Water Style: Mouth of the Serpent."

Haruka dodged. She got behind ame, and used her Chakra Scaple on Ame's legs.

"Now to end this."

Ame turned to water.

"A water clone?"Haruka asked, before turning, and ducking.

Ame appeared behind her.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu."

Haruka jumped, but the dragon followed her, unlike the serpent. Haruka was caught by the jutsu.

Ame laughed."Looks like I-"

Haruka made her hand signs."Earth Style:"she jumped out of the dragon, and went into the ground.

Ame was on her guard.

Ame looked down as a hand grabbed her leg. she was pulled down.

"Headhunter Jutsu,"Haruka said, coming out of the ground.

Ame began to fight her way free.

To end this, Haruka used her chakra scaple to knock out Ame.

Haruka pulled the unconsious Ame out of the ground, and set her down.

Shikamaru nodded."The winner is Haruka."

Haruka rejoined her team.

Ame was rushed off, and Shikamaru looked around."Those of you who have won today will go on to the next phase in the Chunin Exams. But, as it is, you have all become worn out from this non-stop fighting. So, each of you will be matched up with your opponents for the next phase in the chunin Exams."

The names were going by in nine different spots. One of the remaining genin would have to have two opponents.

The first match was set."Minoru Nara vs Daichi."

The seoncd one came up."Gano vs Hizone Aburame."

A couple minues went by, and the third match was decided."Souls Uchiha vs Kurosuna."

The fourth one came up after he said the third match."Kushina Uzumaki vs Haruka."

And the last match came us."Kushina Uzumaki vs Matzu. These will be all the matches of the first round. The Chunin Exams will begin one mounth from now. You may use this mounth as training or relaxing."

Everybody stood with their teams or sensei.

"So, we may have to fight each other in the challenge to come."Souls stood against the wall."My opponent is the son of the Kazekage, right Minoru?"

Minoru nodded."I know my cousin pretty well, he will be tough."

Kushina sighed."Well, my first match is a medical ninja, then i have to face of against Matzu."

"Well, you will be allowed to use Sharkskin in the next part,"Suigetsu added.

"I know, but still, two matches."Kushina layed back."Haruka is hard enough, but the Cloud ninja too?"

Souls streched."Well, you have a month to practice Kushina. Use it."

Kushina sat up, but was thinking.

Minoru stood up."Well, we should all use this month to our advantage. But, I would suggest seperate training, since were all facing each other."

Kurosuna was eyeing both Kushina Uzumaki and Souls Uchiha.

Haruka was doing the same.

"Well, our opponents are going to be tough, no dought about it,"Daichi stated.

Kurosuna nodded.

Haruka pulled out a kunai, and began to examin it.

Konkuro streched."Well, you better be ready to head out. We will probibly be told to leave before long."


After a couple moments, Shikamaru stated,"Since everything has been sorted out, you al may leave. we will see you all one mounth from now for the final part of the Chunin Exams!"

Everybody went outside, and went strait for the exit of the forest.


Again, sorry for it not being the best, but i'm still trying to put these event together in a way we can all enjoy.

The next part of next Gen will envolve the month of training.

Enjoy, and thank you. RR.
