Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO; Hooray, we are finally out of the preliminaries! Thank god, I was starting to run out of ideas for fights and other things, that I wanted to move the story forward and get the finals started, along with getting Jiraiya and Sarutobi start explaining to Naruto about his heritage. Along with more hilarities with Naruto's life with the girls XD For now, review/comments time!
Deathmvp: I'm glad you enjoyed the fight with Shikamaru and Naruto : ) I had a real fun time writing it myself XD
Naruhina: Yeah, FPV is very hard to write down, since your only looking through one person's view and not a overworld of the entire situation. thats cool how you have so many Naruto games XD I too have UNS 2, though having problems with the subsatution not working correctly for me on the xbox. Could just be my controller being old XD
yinyang: I'm not sure if I am going to let Naruto have a weapon...Since to be honest, I think he does fine without having any type of weapon in his disposal, considering he is very good with Taijutsu. I'll think about it though and seen some fanfics where he does have a weapon, but those type of fanfics usually have his entire personality change completely...So iffy if I do give him one or not.
batross: I looked up the word livid couple days ago, just to be sure if I used the word correctly and yes, I did use as both being happy that Haku won, while being angry from what Sasuke did to her in chapter 8. thanks hope you continue reading the story : )
Hee-ho: Yeah lol XD Though its hard to tell if I'm saying it right or using the words correctly, since I'm still new to the mircosoft works programe, that its becomming a bit difficult to the usage of words lol. Hm it is confusing between those words isn't it XD But yeah I know cameo means that, though spell check corrects the word 'camo' to 'cameo' everytime I try to use the word, so it will only allow me to use correct words, for odd reason...Glad you enjoy the fight thought lol XD
Brandon Graham88: Thank you! I really appriciate it XD Thanks hope you keep reading ^_^
Darkassassian: Glad you enjoy the fight and yeah XD That will definitely be Shikamaru's way of losing, that and he will find it too troublesome to keep going to the finals. Don't worry, now that the preliminaries are over it is ever closer with Mia's talk with Haku, now that they have one whole month to train and learn new jutsu. Also Kin isn't going to get killed or anything bad happening to her don't worry XD Everyone seems to like the way I made her character lol
Any way; this chapter is very long since I wanted to get the preliminaries all done and over with so its very lengthy lol. Fourteen pages, so hope you all enjoy and have fun : ) Don't worry Neji isn't going to send Hinata to the hospital in this story he is kind. Now I'm not exactly sure how many battlers there were in the finals, been so long since I last watched/read the manga so I'm not sure how accurate I am XD
...
Chapter 14: The outcome of Naruto's battle. Kin reveals the invasion plan! The Final Round Tenten vs. Temari
Most of the sensei's were very impress by Naruto's and Shikamaru's battle, considering the lazy genius from what Asuma told everyone that his I.Q is that of over 200. Can come up with a plan from ten to hundred ahead of the opponent before they could even get in a single hit! Although, Kakashi, Sakura, Haku, Hinata and Mia were worried for the orange clad ninja, since he was up against a genius in battle…
But something deep inside they knew he would come out a okay at the end of the fight, though they were really starting to get worried after Shikamaru started activating his traps on the poor ninja; thankfully Naruto was being so random in this fight that even Shikamaru's original plans weren't working correctly and had to move on to his next plan of motion…
The fight was definitely a show of skills between the two combatants that were down in the arena, Naruto skills of showing that he can be very un-predictable and creative with his Shadow clones and; jutsu he had in his arsenal! While Shikamaru show great tactician skills for the battle, with the placement and setup of traps that were litter all over the arena, to only fail some times, while he had no choice but to execute most of them, to lessen the numbers of Naruto clones all the while able to land some hits to the boy.
It was a drawn out battle, but all in all everything came out okay for the orange Ninja, since Shikamaru forfeited his match against the boy, explaining how he was using up a lot of Chakra with his shadow possession to move the trip wires for his favor, along of capturing Naruto in his jutsu. With the battle all over and done with, they now await for the rest of the ninja's to take their turn and fight it off…
"I have to say Naruto, you show excellent skills in that fight with Shikamaru, for a minute there I was afraid you wouldn't make it" Kakashi joked while eye smiling the blonde boy, who chuckle sheepishly at the same time scratching the side of his cheeks.
"To be perfectly honest Kakashi sensei, I thought Shikamaru would've won!" Naruto exclaim with a smile, putting his arms behind his head, staring up at his sensei. "Especially with those plans of his, I really thought my Shadow clones and jutsu would fail against him. Shikamaru is very strong!" announced the boy, earning some chuckles from Kakashi, who lower his book for a bit and eye smiled at the boy.
"Well then…I guess that just to show you still have a lot of training to go through now don't ya?" He said with a hint of playfulness in his voice, causing the boy to chuckle and agree with his sensei.
"Kakashi sensei is right Naruto. You're the only one in our team to make it to the finals, so you better get strong!" Sakura exclaim pumping her fist. "Cause if you don't I will pulverize you till you regret it understand!" She threatens him by pulling on his shirt collar and shaking him, causing the boy to pale in fear while agreeing with Sakura.
"Good, now come on Naruto…I think Hinata and Neji are about to fight?" she said with a raise eyebrow, seeing the two hyuuga's standing in their gentle fist stance, smirking at each other. This getting Naruto's attention he quickly turned around and looked over the railing of the fight. To see how it will turn out, since Hinata and Neji live in the same house hold, it will quite interesting to see who comes out on top.
"Hey Shikamaru did you let Naruto win that match?" Choji asked his teammate, while eating a bag of chips. Watching a very intense Taijutsu battle going on between Hinata and Neji, as if they were watching a dance play going on from the way they move and bend their bodies, to dodge and parry each strike!
Leaning up against the wall yawning and stretching, Shikamaru just shrug his shoulders while letting out a soft sigh. "To be perfectly honest Choji, I wasn't really planning Naruto to win at the end of the match…Yeah sure I gave up at the end, but it was something he announced at the end, that made me realize something…" He explained with a slight grin on his face, seeing the Akamichi boy looking at him with confusion.
"I said back at the academy and I will say it again…"
"Just his dream and goals is what got me to thinking…That he could actually achieve them." Shikamaru continue explaining, while walking up to the railings to watch the fight between Neji and Hinata. As the girl was starting to lose some stamina through the fight, but still manage to deal some blows to her cousin in turn couldn't help but smile throughout the entire fight he is having with the girl. Watching Hinata fight Neji is starting to make the boy see the bigger picture…He heard rumors that Neji is a prodigy in fighting and yet…He is still having slight difficulties fighting the shy girl, who which everyone knows isn't all that confident and always shy.
But after seeing how Hinata been hanging out and spending time with Naruto; along with having the same fox features as him, he notice how much changes were made to the girl. Her stutter is almost completely gone minus a few times she haves with Naruto. Her fainting spells is non-existence now but occasionally will faint depending on the situation.
"I never give up and I never go back on my word! That's my nindo…My Ninja way!"
"So what was it that made you change your thoughts about Naruto…?" Choji asked slowly, he wasn't a fool nor was Asuma. They both saw how Shikamaru's eyes showed a different view of the orange ninja and; showing great respects after that match…Hell Asuma was clapping the entire fight and after the fight with the two boys, for one…Shikamaru skills of being a tactician and Naruto showing that with great will power, along with determination one can go beyond their limits if they truly believe in themselves to go that distance!
Which then Shikamaru just let out a chuckle, after hearing the same thing that Naruto said; but this time Hinata using those exact words after Neji asked Hinata to give up, so this way she won't get too much damage through their fight…The boy was certainly amazed by his cousin's determination and glad that Naruto spent a lot of time at the hyuuga house. So answering to Choji's question he looked towards him with a smile and said…"Because Naruto's will is very strong"
Leaving Choji to think about it for a brief moment and then smiled at his friend, nodding in agreement. Choji too felt that will from their fights and boy was it burning brightly. Asuma lean his head down a bit and smiled to himself. "I think you are right Shikamaru…" he then looked towards the Kitsune boy, as he was shouting and rooting along with Sakura at the same time, choking from the pink hair girl strangling him from getting too excited from the battle between Neji and Hinata. "The Will of Fire definitely burns brightly within that boy…He sure is one unexpected knuckleheaded ninja…But he brings out the best of people, including his friends." He then turns his gaze towards the Hokage who in return smiled up at his son with a firm nod, silently agreeing with him about Naruto.
"The winner is Neji hyuuga"

She could hear beeping of a hospital monitor, along with slight breathing from her breaths…She couldn't believe it she was still alive! But how she wonder that and didn't help that it was still dark to see…So opening her eyes slowly and carefully, she saw that she was in a room…A hospital room yes, but not your ordinary white walls, or un-comfortable beds that you lay on. After clearing some more of the hazy vision from her eyes, she realized she isn't at a hospital at all! She was in a room with an IR machine that was connected to her arm. Shaking her head lightly she peer forward of the room to see if there was anyone nearby, only to see that there were Anbu standing outside the door guarding and protecting her from anyone who probably was a threat.
She was relieved that Anbu were the ones to get her first and not that sensei of hers, or Orochimaru who is disguised as a sensei. But the question that is now bubbling up in her mind was…Who brought her here and why?
"I see your awake…How are you doing Kin?" Asked a woman, whose eyes were pale blue as she entered the room closing the door behind her, Kin tried to focus on the woman who walked in to realize that it was Haku's mother! "Don't worry I'm not here to hurt you…I'm sure Haku told you about me?" She said which Kin gave a small smile and nodded weakly to her.
"Yeah…Your Mia right? Tell me…What, what happen?" Kin asked with a little dry voice, trying to clear it away to feeling Mia's hands on the back of the girls head, leaning her forward to drink the glass of water. Then sitting her back down after making sure she had enough to drink…
"Well your teammate Dosu injured you badly during your fight. We had to rush you quickly to the Anbu medical ward, since the sound damages that course through your body were almost lethal…After that though, Naruto came to your rescue and punch the guy to the wall…You made quite an impression on Naruto" She joked at the end, trying to keep Kin emotions and spirits high, to see that the girl was blushing along with a smile.
"I'm…I'm glad…You see Naruto…Naruto haves the same melody as I do", she started explaining while leaning a hand into her pocket carefully, causing Mia to tilt her head a bit hearing what sound like bell's, to her surprise they were exactly what they were. "These bells, if you concentrate low enough chakra, they will start playing melody's depending on the person's personality" She explained, while demonstrating it to the Hyuuga, with the bell's playing what used to be a sad melody…But was now that of happiness and acceptance. "Well…It used to be a sad melody for me…But I guess, after Hinata and the girls wanting me to be with them…Made me feel really good." She joked/explained to Mia. Which the Hyuuga couldn't help but close her eyes and smile at the sound girl…
She then asked if it was okay if she could give it a shot, which the girl's fox tail wag happily saying she wouldn't mind and handed it over to the woman. Once she started concentrating chakra through the bells, they were playing the same melody as Hinata's, but mix in with an upbeat melody of being happy. Kin couldn't help but nod her head along with the melody, seeing how rare it is to hear something like that.
After handing the bells back to the girl, along with her asking what matches she missed…She couldn't help but laugh at Kin's expressions from some of the fights with frowning on some of the pathetic matches, to smiling wide of how Naruto won against one of the most genius Genins of the rookie ten. To see her being a bit upset that Hinata lost to Neji, but Mia explained to her that she did an outstanding job and was giving Neji a run for his money. Then, she was shock to hear how Sakura and Ino match came out as a draw wondering how the hell that happen, to Mia explaining that ever since Sakura's encounter with Orochimaru and fighting Kin's team. The pink hair ninja did a complete 360 of her personality and became more serious with her ninja career.
"To be perfectly honest Kin, she keeps saying if it wasn't for you and your team…She would've never change her ways of becoming a more serious ninja. That and she believe that it wasn't a fair match with you and Dosu", Mia explained while laughing along with the sound girl, who was feeling a whole lot better now. From having someone talking with her, to hearing how worried Hinata, Sakura, Naruto, Haku and Ino were about the girl; then asked Mia how is it that she is here? To bop her head after hearing the woman saying that she is the only Hyuuga who manage to master the Shadow clone jutsu, that right now the Mia who is with Ino and Haku was a shadow clone.
"So Mia sensei…? How is it that you master the Shadow clone jutsu…I thought Hyuuga's doesn't have good Chakra reserves?" Kin asked with slight raised of an eyebrow…Secretly she wanted to tell Mia about the invasion plans that Orochimaru was planning, but she doesn't want to ruin the moment between her and Haku's mom…It felt really good to speak with the woman, along with her being a mom it felt twice as good. She then saw the woman blink her eyes couple of times, then few more times. She couldn't help but laugh at the blank stare Mia was giving to the girl…Does she honestly doesn't know?
Then Mia let out a few embarrassing chuckles with a flushed face. "I honestly don't know, I never really thought about it like that…I just figure it was because of my harsh training resume that gave me these results" She replied with honesty in her voice, causing Kin to just outright burst in laughter with the woman.
Mia then explained to Kin about her training resume at the same time, causing the girl to have her eyes wide as saucers to becoming completely white from what she was told…From what she got, ever since Mia was young and lost her mother from being KIA during a mission, she would always wake up early in the morning before the sun even starts coming up…To training until 10am from 5am with Chakra control exercise, to eating breakfast than after she eats breakfast…She will then work on her Taijutsu and Ninjutsu till 3pm afternoon, to having lunch. Then she finishes up by doing stretches till dinner time!
Kin's mind couldn't rack up the thought of being able to train harshly like that every single day and to make things even more outstanding is that Mia came up with the resume by herself! Now that's a very dedicated ninja almost reminding her of those two green tights wearing ninja's… To only pale even further after hearing that Mia based her training schedule like Gai's, only not to the extreme of leaving her body to exhaustion…
Then Mia's eye open up a bit, from receiving another message from her shadow clone's dispersing from the arena. "Seems like there is two more matches left after Shino and Kankuro", she informed Kin which the girl, looked down to her bed covers fisting the blankets in her fist. Wondering if this would be a good time to inform the woman in front of her about Orochimaru's plans…Of course she knows the snake bastard will probably get to her first if she doesn't tell someone…Then images of her friends getting killed and dying in the invasion pop into her head, making her shake out of the thoughts with her ears laying against her head.
"No…I won't let that happen to them! If I'm going to be used as a sacrifice then, I will die protecting my friends first!" Feeling that Mia was about to leave the girl, she quickly latch her arm out and grab the woman's hand, to having her face at Kin. Surprised to see fear in the girl's face…"Please don't go Mia-sensei…I…I need to inform you of something…" Kin explained, earning a low eye brow from the woman.
Then started explaining everything to her about Orochimaru, about how she and one of her teammates were going to be used as sacrifices to one of his jutsu, to the whole invasion between Leaf, Sound and Sand. Everything she cried and wailed out to the woman, she couldn't let Orochimaru harm her friends, this village! Sure she hasn't spent a lot of time here in the village, but with the way how Naruto and his friends treated her with so much respect and acceptance, to Hinata and the girls allowing her to be with their funny tense of the word…Kitsune family, to meeting someone like Mia. She doesn't want to see all that get taken away from everyone…Even herself wanting to be with Naruto, to wanting to make the boy happy for how they shared the same melody.
She just couldn't take it and broke down on the woman, who was now hugging her tightly to her and rubbing the back of the sound girl. Trying to calm her down and started rocking them back and forth, shushing and humming to the girl, doing everything she can to calm her down along with telling her that, she will inform the Hokage about the info she gave her…Then chuckle hearing how Kin wanted her to stay with her before the preliminaries ended and nodded to her…"Don't worry, I won't let Orochimaru get to you or your friends Kin…I promise as an Anbu and Sensei" she announced to the girl, feeling her nod as her ear twitch a bit from touching Mia's chin.
"I will protect everyone I can Kin…I won't let anyone die on my watch, no matter what!" Mia silently vowed to herself, hardening her gaze out the window towards the busy streets of Konoha…

"The Winner is Shino Aburame" Hayate announced, seeing how Kankuro puppets were all scatter across the arena, since they were all piece together with chakra strings. The match up was definitely in favor for Shino since his bugs suck and eat chakra signatures from any kind of source it comes from…Which in this case was Kankuro's chakra strings that he uses to guide and move his puppets around, too bad the puppet master couldn't even lay a hit to the boy
"Well seems like there's only two matches left, that Akamichi, the girl from the sand village, me and some random rock ninja…" Tenten thought to herself while watching the sand puppet user just grumble under his breath, along with the blonde girl taunting to him saying how he lost to a guy that haves insects living inside of him.
Tenten then looked over towards Naruto with a question gaze…True she have heard some outbursts from some of the rookies saying, that the boy was dead last and couldn't hold a fight on his own…To be perfectly honest, there was lots of rumors spreading in the village of how annoying Naruto was, or how the only reason they completed that A rank mission was because of Sasuke. She just couldn't tell the lies with the facts and had to ask Neji himself about the boy…
Flashback no jutsu before the Chuunin exams!
In one of the training fields that her team were practicing on, she was with Neji and Lee working on their Taijutsu and other skills that were needed for the exams, since Gai sensei told them last year that they weren't ready and were in-experience to completing the exams that year…But now this year he is allowing all of them to part take the Chuunin exams this year…Boy would it be interesting, ever since they got back from a C-rank mission that needed them at the land of tea; Tenten was stoke to finally be back home, to get started on gathering all the weapons and ninja tools that she collected during their mission…
"So Neji…About that Naruto kid you mention earlier that kept visiting your house…Do you know anything about his skills?" Tenten asked while resting up against a tree, from over doing her throwing practice and decided to watch the boys practice with each other's Taijutsu…Which the hyuuga responded back with each stop him and Lee makes, to explain how the boy should move his body in a certain position, so this way he won't be left open.
"Ninja skill wise…I'm not sure Tenten all I know is that, he can easily out maneuver and out run lots of Chuunins and Jonnins during one of his pranks or escapades…But from what I heard from Hinata, his determination is what keeps him going" He explained, while once more both him and Lee stop with Lee's knee high in the air, only for Neji Jyuuken to be near his stomach…Which Neji complement Lee for being able to strike his head at that time of opening. "But hearing how well he did against Zabuza during his last visit to the house. I said he have's improve, despite what people say about him. Hell, he can even out run me and my kunai's during…well…my rare fit of rage." He said silently, but was still heard by Lee and Tenten, which the two wondered what made the boy go after him that will cause Neji to lose his cool.
Till the word Hinata pop into their heads and both nodded, understanding how protective Neji haves been lately with both Hinata and Hanabi. "But how could he out smart an A rank missing ninja? From what I heard from the pink hair ninja, is that he was the worst student in their class and had no brains", Tenten then eep from a Kunai barely missing one of her hair buns, to be getting stared down by Neji's byakkugan eyes, causing the girl to shiver a bit from the KI he was releasing…
"Tenten, let me say this once caused I won't repeat it again. I don't know the majority of Naruto's strength or ability as a Ninja; but I will say this though, the boy is strong enough to last a good fifteen minutes during a practice match with me at the hyuuga compound, even with his chakra points closed. He was still coming at me with a strong will…It was like fighting Lee", He said with a smirk at the end and canceling his byakkugan, to having Lee get flames appear within his eyes shouting about the flames of youth that Naruto had for facing Neji!
The girl was dumbfounded…A rookie Genin…A, nobody at that matter was able to stand against Neji for fifteen minutes? It seemed impossible once Tenten thought about it, hell! She even saw the boy herself and he didn't look that much after seeing him eat like ten bowls of ramen, along with having fox ears at the time…She honestly thought he was a nobody, a weakling who cause nothing but trouble…Then she started thinking how Hinata, Haku and Ino were spending time with the boy, along with him training with one of Tenten respected Kunoichi list, Mia hyuuga! Well whatever the reason for Neji to show great respect for the boy, she would have to see him in the Chuunin exams!
Flashback no jutsu off!
"After watching his fight with Shikamaru…I'm starting to believe what Neji meant by the boy being unknown…" Then she shook from her sensei's loudness shouting to her.
"Tenten my young weapon pupil it is your turn to show the fire of youth!" Her sensei shouted, causing the girl to deadpan and leer at nothing in front of her, wishing that she had a different sensei along with not having them shout every few seconds the fire of youth…Taking a quick glance to her left, she saw how Kurenai was tending to Hinata's minor injuries, then to Kakashi reading his orange book…Man could she wish she had heat vision to burn that thing into nothing but ashes…Then looked at Asuma, who was leaning and resting up against the wall…Lazy no good sensei she thought…Then to Mia, who was talking Haku, Ino and Naruto after they asked her some certain question, along with Sakura getting a few here and there.
"Hey panda girl, are you going to come down or what? I don't have all day" Shouted the suna girl, who kept tapping her large fan on the ground leering towards the brown hair girl, who gritted her teeth… One thing you do not want to do too Tenten, and that's making fun of her hair style…Hell all girls will get offended about their hair style.
"Good luck Tenten! Go and kick her butt!" Shouted Naruto, which she blinked at his direction…Being surprised of him cheering for her along with the others, then she looked towards Lee and Neji who nodded. So with grin of her own she nodded and hopped over the railing, ready for the battle up ahead.
"It's about time…Did the baby ninja need her cheering squad to reassure her?"
"Okay she's going down, as much I don't know half of the people here…They are willing to cheer me on and I won't let someone make fun of them for that!" She thought herself, seeing that Hayate was looking between the two battlers, wondering if they were ready which they both nodded.
"Alright then…Begin!" he announced while quickly getting out of the way, feeling the bad KI that was being sent between the two girls.
Tenten then quickly hop backwards and leapt into the air throwing waves of different weapons, between kunai's shruiken; battle axes, and claymores towards the sand girl. Only for the sand girl to stand completely still and somehow knocked all the weapons away from her! "What how is that possible! I couldn't miss, I shouldn't miss I never once miss my targets!" Tenten thought to herself, after landing back to the ground with shock evident in her eyes, seeing the sand girl just smiling towards her with a smirk.
"Is that it…I was expecting a bit more from you." She taunted at the girl, who was gritting her teeth. Trying to figure out how the hell the girl in front of her managed to knock back her weapons? There doesn't seem to be anything in front of her, or any kind of weapon/jutsu that was visible to her eyes that would knock them away…
"I don't get it Kakashi sensei? What just happen, how did Tenten miss?" Naruto asked with his tail wagging softly up and down, trying to figure out the situation that just occurred…To be honest with himself, it felt like there was a gust of wind but that couldn't be right? There are now windows, no nothing that would cause a breeze in the room?
Kakashi eyeing the arena carefully, seeing the laid out weapons that were scatter on the floor…Then he moved his vision towards the blonde pigtails girl large fan that was up against her back. "Hmm…Seems like Tenten is going to lose this match horribly"
This caused everyone to whip their head at the Cyclops, along with Gai pumping his fist towards the silver hair Jonin. "What are you saying Kakashi, the battle just started and Tenten hasn't receive a single hit!"
"That's true…But you see the blonde girls fan?" He gesture with his finger at the weapon of the sand girl choice, which everyone all looked at it with calculating gaze. "I believe Tenten is up against a wind user hence why her weapons were knocked away easily, this was a bad match up for her…" Kakashi explained, earning some glares of Gai to only with him staring back to the battle, not fueling him with the pleasure of being right.
While back on the arena floor Tenten then tried once more with her weapons, by jumping up into the air once more. "Weapon Tool Summoning!" she shouted while, pulling out a scroll at the same time, un-sealing more weapons out from the said scrolls, continuing throwing them towards Temari who once again just smirk and stood absolutely still, with the end results happening once more with the weapons being deflected by an un-seen force, that caused Tenten this time to get thrown into the wall and falling forward to the ground.
"Come on, you know that isn't going to work." Temari announced, slamming her fan forward in front of her, showing that it was open, with two purple moons showing. "Once all three moons are shown, the match is over…" she explained to Tenten hiding her face behind the fan, showing a very terrifying glare to the girl.
Tenten who was getting back up was now panicking on the inside…She didn't realize the fan was a weapon! Which; would explain how she was able to deflect most of her weapons… Because she was using Wind jutsu!
"This is bad…Looks like I'll have to give up the match, I can't beat someone who uses wind Jutsu. Be waste of time and resources for my weapons", she thought to herself, while closing her eyes and grunting. She started raising her arm up from her sides, with her hands open up…She could already feel the dishonoring looks she was probably getting from Neji and her team…Then again, they probably would want her to give up if she can't win against somebody who could beat her weapons…Before she could raise her arm any further, she widen her eyes from somebody shouting to her.
"HEY YOU BETTER NOT GIVE UP! SO WHAT IF SHE USES WIND JUTSU, THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY TO WIN!"
Temari scowled at the boy for being too loud and annoying all the while thinking does he ever shut up; ever since she came to the exams. The boy has nothing but been loud by cheering on his friends, even those that weren't even from the same village as him. Too bad she didn't go up against the boy, she would've love to shut that trap of his, then she looked towards Tenten, seeing the girl look of defeat quickly changing to that of determination!
"What you're actually going to listen to that brat advice? Give it up girl your weapons are useless against my wind jutsu" She announced, slowly opening up the final moon on her fan, to just watching Tenten slamming down two scrolls on the ground.
"He's right! There's always a way to win against your opponents! Ninja Art: Dragon tool summoning!" Tenten shouted, creating a huge dust cloud around her, along with her flying up into the air with twirling scrolls flying near her, getting every ones attention by watching the girl quickly go through the scroll's weapons. "Thanks Naruto, I almost forgotten that I had this jutsu too use…She wouldn't be able to deflect all of these weapons at once!" She thought to herself, grinning on the inside as dust cloud and clashing of her weapons, could be heard making contact with the sand girl.
After a good full minute of throwing weapons towards the spot where Temari was, Tenten landed back to the ground and fell to her knees sweating and panting from using a lot of chakra and; throwing so many weapons at the sand girl, she now knows there would be no way for the girl to survive let alone, deflect all those weapons, hell the entire arena was litter with her weapons even some were clench into the walls. Making it look like a war broke out in the arena leaving no survivors behind.
"Way to go Tenten! That's showing her what you're made of!" Naruto shouted along with Lee also.
"YOSH TENTENS FLAMES OF YOUTH WAS EXPLODING WITH SO MUCH ENERGY THAT I AM SO MOVE GAI SENSEI!"
"Heh thanks you two…I have to admit, it took a whole lot out of me to use that many weapons…Wait…N-No!" Tenten was shock at what she was seeing! Temari was still standing there after the smoke cleared up, showing the girl un-harm with no cuts, no bruises, no nothing! Not even one little blood from the blonde girl. Tenten was in total fear from the sight, is she invincible! No it was that wind jutsu of hers protecting her from that onslaught of weapons that surprised Tenten that she could even have that much chakra to do that…"What's even worse, I used up all of my chakra for that last attack…I'm…I'm defenseless!"
"Now it's my turn" Temari announced grinning at the weapon user, reaching her hand up to her fan. Gripping very tightly with the other grabbing the other end, she then swung with so much force and shouted the words. "Wind style: Wind scythe jutsu!"
The winds howled with so much power that it lifted up Tenten up into the air, cutting her and slicing her up from the powerful tornado that was surrounding the girl, along with picking up weapons that were laying on the ground, to flying in the tornado as well as cutting Tenten even more, which some blood flew out from the tornado and landed on Naruto's cheek, which his eyes widen.
"Kakashi sensei!" then paled when he saw his Sensei shaking his head no…Informing the boy that there was nothing he could do, even if he could go in and save the girl. Everyone was really worried for the girl as she kept screaming in pain, along with flinching and writhing inside the tornado. Lee and Neji were gripping the railings so hard, that they could easily snap it into two. Naruto just closed his eyes, trying to not listen to Tenten cries of pain…Then widen his eyes after hearing the gale stop along with Temari positioning underneath the weapon user with her fan up aiming for…"She going to kill Tenten!" He thought to himself along with watching Tenten body falling quickly towards Temari's fan, that the boy ran up against the railing with his hand out stretch fear to watch one of Neji's friends and Bushy brows die right in front of them!
"TENTEN WAKE UP!" Then that's when it happen, everything slowed down as the oranges red chakra formed around the boy's hand, bubbling with intensity then fired off forward scaring everybody there to see what was transpiring, along with the chakra acting out like an extra limb, open up with five fingers and an open palm, just like a person's hand! Catching Tenten right above the frighten Temari who jumped away from the weird chakra hand, that was holding onto the girl tightly as if protecting her from any enemies…
Naruto just was staring blankly at the extra limb that now slowly lower itself to the ground, placing Tenten gently on the ground in front of Lee who appeared next to her, staring up to Naruto with a thumbs up and a thank you. Seeing how it was Naruto that saved Tenten, along with everyone looking at the paled boy who was still in the same position of his hand outstretch, all the while the chakra disappeared back inside his hand. Everyone was dumbfounded by this action, along with earning more respect for the boy, heck even Gai sensei was saying his thanks to the boy who saved the girl's life. Little did anyone was paying attention to the girl, there was still the orange color chakra around the girls wounds, healing and sealing them back up; along with going through her chakra system, making the girl let out a content sigh of peace.
After that was over along with Temari being declared the winner of the match. The preliminaries came to end after Choji and some random ninja, manage to double KO each other during their match marking the end of the very long brought out battles; along with The third Hokage giving out a speech to everyone and reminding them about the will of fire and; how this will bring the villages together closer and such. Then explain to them that they have a whole month break to learn new jutsu or; train even harder for the final part of the exams. So with that everyone went up and got a number from Anko who had them in a box, which the results are…
Naruto vs. Neji
Haku vs. Temari
Dosu vs. Gaara
Lee vs. Shino
Thus ending the preliminaries, with everyone following their sensei's and comrades out of the tower and back to the leaf village, all the while Sarutobi was staring at the back of Naruto's leaving form…"I have no choice…But I really need to speak with the boy about that situation he made…I don't want the audience let alone word get out, that the Kyuubi is starting to take over Naruto…Sigh how should I explain this to him is what I should be more concern of", he then nodded to one of the proctors in the room, telling him that there has been news about Orochimaru and plans for the invasion, for just the Hokage to let out a stream of smoke from his pipe, telling them to get things prepare and inform the anbu to go out and search for his where about…
"For now, I should focus what I should've done long ago when Naruto found that scroll…Forgive me for not telling him about you…Kushina" He silently said, following his fellow ninjas out of the tower and back to the Hokage tower, to get ready for the story and reaction for Naruto of his entire life time…
Including the upcoming finals, who will win in the final rounds of the Chuunin exams!
