Rene-Phoenix of the Uchiha
Chapter 14
When Rene entered Hinata's room he saw her lying on a bed dressed in a hospital gown. He pulled up a chair and sat down, as he put his hands together he asked, "So when should I schedule your date with Naruto?" a cheeky smile plastered on his face.
Hinata's face went red as she looked confused, "But I didn't win."
"You never had to win Hinata, you just had to try your best. I think summoning a Water Dragon counts, plus I had my sharingan active and I caught Neji's face when you used it. That look he had alone is worth it." Rene finished with a smile.
"Rene-chan thank you for the offer, but I would like to ask Naruto myself. When I'm ready." Hinata said with a soft smile.
Rene put his hand on her shoulder, "Okay, get well soon. If you want to train you are welcome in the Uchiha Clan district any time. "As he made his way to the door, Hiashi entered. The two stared at each other for a few moments, then Rene walked pasted. As he entered the hallway he made two shadow clones and posted them by the door. Sakura who was in the hallway raised an eyebrow.
"Why are posting guards at her door? Your father went in." She asked
"It is because her father went in Sakura. I don't trust him. Now let's go find Naruto the last thing we need is for him to lose his temper during all this." Rene said as they went off to search for Naruto.
Meanwhile in Hinata's hospital room Hiashi sat in a chair not too far away from the bed. He broke the silence in the room, "You did well daughter perhaps not as well as I would have liked, but you did well none the less."
Hinata was shocked, "F-F-Father was brought this on?"
Hiashi gave a sigh and a frown, "Your friend the Uchiha has a way with words, and they cut deep. He has forced me to realize my shortcomings, and I am determined to fix them starting with you. If you wish maybe you could tell me about your teammates." With a small smile Hinata began to tell her father about Naruto and Shino.
Well the father and daughter were talking Rene and Sakura had found Naruto angrily fighting a training dummy. As they walked in they saw the dummy slam into the wall. Naruto was literally shaking in anger and Rene saw a flash of red enter his eyes. He made his way over and shouted out to his friend only to have him throw a punch. Sharingan active Rene caught it in his palm. "Calm down" he said.
His body shaking in rage Naruto replied, "After everything he did to Hinata you did nothing to him. The bastard deserves to have his eyes ripped out! You let him walk away!" Rene saw red charka enter Naruto's system with his eyes, and red charka appeared around his body. "Sakura go get a Jounin now!" Rene yelled
As she left Naruto went for a kick only for Rene to dodge it. As the seconds passed Naruto's attack became more animalistic, and as Rene dodged his eyes had morphed into their EMS (eternal mangekyou sharingan) form. This is not good, damn fox let my friend go. It was with this thought that he made eye contact with Naruto, and deep in the back of his mind in a cage the Nine Tails awoke from its slumber only to feel itself lose control as its dark red eyes morph into a sharingan. Hearing the mental command it began to take back its charka. A moment later it regained control only to howl in supreme anger at once again being controlled by those eyes.
In the real world the red charka had dissipated around Naruto and Rene had his normal green eyes back. "Are you okay Naruto?" he asked.
Naruto held his head, "All I remember is being angry then nothing. Crap it was the fox again wasn't it?"
Rene nodded and put his hand on Naruto's shoulder. "It's fine we have to go back to see the rest of the matches, plus you can use some that anger to kick butt." Rene finished with a smile. At that moment Sakura along with Anko appeared in the door way.
With a smirk on her face and hands on hips she said, "When Pinkie said you two were fighting I was prepared to evacuate the whole damn tower but instead I miss it. Oh well anyway you two come on we have to watch the rest of the matches."
While they were walking Rene asked, "Naruto did you get that seal looked at?"
He nodded, "Yeah the medic said that it was a good thing too because that seals messes with my charka control, but I'm fine and ready to kick some major ass." Naruto finished with a wide smile and a thumbs up.
When they made it back the computer had already pick the next fight.
Naruto vs Kiba
With a grin Kiba and Akamaru jumped to the floor, Naruto followed a second after.
"Begin" Hayate said
Naruto made four shadow clones. Kiba activated his "Four Legs" technique and charka covered him increasing his senses, speed, strength, and endurance. Naruto sent the clones to attack Kiba only for them to be destroyed creating a smoke screen. Naruto then sent more clones after Kiba, which were destroyed. Kiba was annoyed and decided it was time to end the match. He threw a pill which Akamaru caught. When he ate it Akamaru turned into a clone of Kiba.
"Time to end this Fang Passing Fang!" Kiba shouted
Kiba and Akamaru began to run toward Naruto and then they began to spin and together they formed a spinning tornado that was about to hit Naruto head on. Naruto only smirked and whispered, "Boom". He then exploded sending both the dog and ninja flying smashing into the ground. Kiba started to get up only for Naruto to explode up from the ground.
"Wind style: Gale Palm" Naruto shouted as a medium sized ball of wind appeared in his hand and shot out at Kiba at point blank range. Kiba was thrown back and smashed into the wall and was knocked-out.
"Naruto wins" Hayate declared
Naruto returned to the stands as Kiba was carried off by a stretcher. "Yeah I kicked ass!"
Rene grinned, "Good use of your shadow clones as distractions to create a single clone, then hide using the "Head hunter" justu to pull yourself into the floor. Good to know all my lessons on strategy with your clones didn't fall on deaf ears." Naruto returned with a smile. They heard the chime of the board as it picked the next two fighters
Sakura vs Shino
Sakura looked down cast and nervous.
Rene put his hand on her shoulder, "I know he is a friend Sakura but he would want you to try your best."
"Yeah Forehead the only one allowed to kick your butt is me so you better not lose!" Ino shouted her form of encouragement.
Sakura smirked, "You got it Ino-pig" Then she jumped down to the arena.
"Begin" Hayate said
Sakura gave Shino a thumbs up, "Let's do our best Shino." Shino nodded. Sakura then disappeared in a burst of speed and reappeared in front of Shino charka scalpels to his neck, "It looks like you lose Shino" Only for Shino to turn into a mass of insects.
"It appears the battle isn't over Sakura." Shino said from across the arena. He then held his arm out and thousands of insects came out of his sleeve. They began to form a sphere and they shot out toward Sakura.
Sakura eyes widened they she made hand signs, "Earth Style: Mud wall" she shouted. The sphere slammed into the wall trapping the insects. Sakura then made more hand signs. "Earth Style: Fist Rock Just" her right arm became covered in stone. With a burst of speed she appeared in front of Shino and punched him in the face, only for him to turn into another mass of insects. She then felt a kunai against her neck.
"I win Sakura." Shino said
Sakura grinned, "If this match was real Shino then yes you probably would win. But-" she disappeared in a swirl of sakura petals, and the world around Shino disappeared as well. Sakura had a kunai to his neck a charka scalpel right over his heart. "The world wasn't real Shino" she said
"When did you cast the genjustu?" he asked
"When I gave you the thumbs up, I was making seals with my other hand."
Shino gave a sigh, "I should have thought of that. I forfeit."
"Sakura wins" Hayate
Sakura and Shino shook hands and returned to the stands together. Rene smiled and gave them both a thumbs up. The board picked the next match.
Ten-Ten vs Temari
This match was short and brutal. Temari countered every weapon Ten-Ten threw at her with her fan. The match finished with Temari hitting Ten-Ten into the air. As she was about to come back down, Rene could tell she was going to come back first onto Temari's fan. He was about to jump in but Lee beat him to it. He rushed to the arena and caught her as she was about to hit the fan. Lee then turned to Temari and leveled her with a look that forced Rene to take a step back.
"Temari wins" Hayate said
As Lee took Ten-Ten to the medic area the board made the next match.
Rene vs Sasuke
As he jumped down to the arena Sasuke took note of his jacket. "Do you have no pride? Why are you wearing that rag? A proper Uchiha should always have the crest of the clan on their back."
Rene grinned, "We both know cousin that I was an Uchiha in name only. Beside you have bigger things to worry about then my wardrobe. I want to see how much stronger you become and how many pegs I knock you down to get rid of that arrogance of yours."
"Begin" Hayate said
Rene rushed toward his cousin sword drawn Sasuke did the same. They clashed in the middle of the arena and engaged blow, for blow when they jumped back Sasuke had a couple of cut but Rene was cut free.
"Well cousin should we make this a battle of the eyes?" Rene asked. Sasuke replied by activating his sharagian with two tomes in each. Rene waved a finger "Tsk, Tsk cousin only two tomes you have to work harder." Rene activated his own eyes showing each with three tomes.
Sasuke scowled and started making hand signs, "Fire Style: Fire Ball Justu". He shouted. Rene did the same and the two attackes clashed. As they did Rene was able to make two shadow clones. They ran toward Sasuke one from the left and the other from the right. They met his cousin by kicking him the stomach. It caused him to stop his justu, and for Rene's to succeed and blow Sasuke back. As he trembled to the ground Rene asked
"Are you done cousin or do I need to take you down a few more rungs?" smirk on his face.
Sasuke got back to his feet shakily. "What the hell makes you so damn special? You are nothing but a mistake. You don't deserve to even the utter the Uchiha name. My father should have killed your traitor whore of a mother the moment she stepped back in the village."
The whole stadium was silent, and it was only Rene speaking that broke it. "Shino" he threw his sword up toward the balcony and the bug user caught it. "Keep that safe for me until the end of the match. I don't want to do something I'll regret." He then locked eyes with his cousin, "I warned you your words would come back to bite you one day cousin. It seems that day is today." Rene then rushed toward Sasuke faster than his sharingan could track. Rene punched Sasuke in the stomach, causing him to cough up blood. He then delivered an axe kick which slammed Sasuke face first into the dirt. Rene looked down at the bleeding form of his cousin and let out a sigh, and whispered "I'm sorry." Then in an authoritative voice said, "As head of the Uchiha clan I banish you Sasuke from the clan. You will be given a monthly stipend until you reach the rank of chunin, and copies of the Uchiha clan justu." Rene then started to walk away, only to hear the chirping of a thousand birds from behind him.
"Chidori!" Sasuke screamed in pure fury. His right arm covered in lighting charka, black marks around his neck, and his sharingan blazing.
Only for Rene to catch his wrist, and slam the lighting covered hand into the wall. He then slammed his hand down on Sasuke right wrist breaking it. Then sent him into the opposite wall with a kick.
"Rene wins" Hayate said
The silence on the moment was broken by Anko.
"WHOO! Three for three. Everyone suck it!" She cheered
"Anko read the room" Kurenai scolded
"Screw the room. I'm a first time genin sensei whose whole team moved onto the finals of the chunin exam their first time through. I'M AWESOME!" She shouted. That caused everyone to smile or sweat drop.
Rene returned to the stands as Sasuke was taken to the recovery room. Sakura and Ino gave him a look, and he mouthed Later to them, and they nodded. It was now time for the final match to take place.
Gaara vs Lee
The final match was perhaps the best of the day. Lee was fighting Gaara with everything he had, he had taken off his weights making faster. He was so fast that Rene only barely caught him with his sharingan. But his speed wasn't enough to get past Gaars's sand defenses, and he was forced to use the Eight Inner Gates, and with them it seemed like Lee could win. Only to have his hopes dashed when Gaara was able to counter. Now he had Lee in his "Sand Coffin" about to crush him.
"No" Rene said as he rushed to help Lee. Just as Garra was about to close his hand Rene pushed Lee out of the sand and they both tumbled to the ground.
"Lee are you okay?" he asked
"Rene it is very un-youthful of you to interrupt my match" Lee replied in a strained voice
"Wouldn't it be more un-youthful to die? Besides after seeing you fight I want to face you myself." Rene said with a smile that Lee returned.
Meanwhile Gaara was holding his head in anger. "You dare to try steal blood away from mother. DIE! Sand Tsunami!" he shouted as a huge wave of sand came at Rene and Lee.
Rene knew he couldn't dodge it not without leaving Lee. As he thought of these things his eyes changed to his EMS, and black flames shout of his right eye. The flames collided with the sand and they were at standstill only for the flames to start slowly overtaking the sand. It took only a few moments but the flames overtook the sand and Gaara was forced to release his just. As the justu was released the black flames disappeared, and Rene held his right eye. What was that? He thought. As Hayate declared Gaara the winner.
When Rene returned to the stands with Gai taking Lee to the medic he was met with wide eyes.
Naruto asked the questions that was on everyone's mind, "Since when can you shoot black flames out of your eyes?"
Rene shrugged, "I don't know but I have something to investigate during the month of training."
Asuma then put his two cents in well smoking a cigarette, "Seriously though kid you have to stop intervening in matches."
Rene turned toward Asuma, "Would you rather I let my friends die?" he asked his voice having a hint of steel in it.
Asuma waved his hands, "No, No of course not. Its just your making the sensei's look bad. There the ones who are supposed to save their students."
"Maybe you just need to get faster." Was Rene's deadpan reply as Hayate called the winners to the arena floor.
Asuma leaned in and whispered to Kurenai, "Why do I feel like I just got talked down to?"
Kurenai giggled, "Because you just did." Asuma frowned and continued smoking his cigarette.
When the winners got to the floor Hayate told them to pick numbers to see who they would face in the finals. The matches would go as follows.
Finals
Neji vs Naruto
Rene vs Temari
Sakura vs Ino
Shikamaru vs Gaara
With that Hayate wished them good luck and everyone left expect for teams 11 and 8.
"I'm going to Hinata's room and see how she is doing." Naruto said as he left
"I will leave as well for training with my clan." Shino said as he too left
Rene turned toward Sakura and Ino, "May I walk you lovely ladies home?" he asked
Sakura and Ino looked at each other.
"Well about that Rene-kun, to foster friendship between our two clans daddy suggested that I keep you company during the month of training." Ino said
"I convinced my parents that you need a live in medic for the month because of what happened during the second stage of the exams." Sakura said
"When did these things happen?" Rene asked
"Daddy told me about it before I came to talk to you."
"I sent my parents a message while you were unconscious and they agreed." Sakura said
"So basically you're stuck with us for the month." Ino said as she and Sakura each took an arm.
Then he felt a presence on his legs and saw Julia, "A month long sleep over will be awesome." She said with a smile on her face.
Rene just shook his head it was going an interesting month.
That ends the preliminaries of the chunin exams. Nest is the month of training. I think I will make it into two chapters. Also if you want please tell me your fight from the exams. This could give me an idea on how to write better fight scenes. As always thank you for the support.
