Chapter 20: Titans Collide! Part 2!
BOOM!
The arena shook and the audience sat stock still in the seats as a large dust cloud rose up into the air. Everything was deathly silent and while the citizens thought that a powerful Jutsu was being used every ninja that was alive when the Kyubi attack knew full well what was going on. The Hokage stared at the large dust cloud with a angry look etched on his face.
"What is going on down there?" he demanded and in a black flash a ANBU member was kneeling at his side.
"Hokage-Sama, we have reports that both Jinchuuriki have begun to release chakra from their contained demons. Shall we take immediate action?" the ANBU member asked and looked up at the Hokage.
Hiruzen stared at the arena thoughtfully with a scowl etched on his face still. He was about to answer when another male voice cut him off.
"Don't worry about it. Naruto still ahs control, I'm not sure about Gaara though…but still if you were to interfere not only would the crowd demand to know why but also Gaara may go berserk and start killing everyone. I say we leave this up to Naruto." Jiraiya said and hopped off the top of the press box and landed next to Hiruzen. "That sound right Sarutobi- Sensei?" the white haired Sannin asked and Hiruzen sighed.
"Agreed…but I want ANBU posted all around the edge of the arena incase immediate action is necessary. GO!" The Hokage yelled and the ANBU disappeared and the old man turned to his former student. "So, have you found out when Orochimaru is going to attack?" the man asked and Jiraiya chuckled.
"He's going to attack as soon as the exams finish…we have at most a hour to prepare." the Sannin said and the Hokage nodded sadly.
"Inu!" The Hokage barked and a ANBU in a black cloak appeared before the Hokage. "Start procedure A 52 Case 39 Defensive Maneuver 21." The Hokage said sadly.
"HAI!" Inu barked as he disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
"Let's see how this match plays out…also keep an eye on that damn Uchiha will you…" Hiruzen said to Jiraiya who chuckled.
"Gladly." the man said and they returned their attention to the match.
-
Naruto coughed as he looked around for Gaara. As soon as they had collided he had lost track of where the boy was at and since his chakra cloak was brown he blended in with the dust. As Naruto turned right he felt a sudden change in the pressure to his left and he ducked just in time to avoid a clawed hand that was aimed for his head. Naruto lashed out blindly but his fist struck nothing and he fell into a defensive stance.
He couldn't risk just running around since he had no idea which way was north or south. He also couldn't start making shadow clones because they would just fight each other since they would be blind in this dust. Naruto sighed as he tried to think of a way out of this. He could use another Jutsu to cancel the effects of the dust but since he only knew water Jutsu he would take the chance of turning all of the dust to mud. If that happened then the field would be much harder to fight on then before.
As Naruto thought he felt another change in pressure and ducked as he felt a foot coming towards his head but as he ducked he felt a fist crash into his gut. The air was blown out of him as he was sent flying backwards at insane speeds. He only had a second to think before suddenly he felt Gaara's leg slamming into his back and sending him flying forwards. As he hurtled head over foot Gaara must have appeared in front of him because he felt a fist crash into his face and it sent him hurtling upwards. Naruto groaned in pain as he flipped higher and higher into the air until suddenly he busted out of the giant dust cloud.
He took in a deep gulp of fresh air and stopped himself from flipping wildly about. As h flew in the air he spread his hands out and tried to adjust himself so that he was floating somewhat and not just hurtling pointlessly through the air. He watched as a part of the dust cloud shot up in a pillar and Gaara appeared from it. The red haired boy was snarling furiously as he shot towards Naruto who clenched his fists waiting for the boy to get closer.
Gaara cocked his fist back and let loose a right hook aimed at Naruto's face. Naruto flipped forward and slammed his foot into Gaara's angry face while said boys fist slammed into his side. Naruto grunted in pain while Gaara screamed angrily while trying to claw at Naruto. Naruto managed to let himself start falling faster and so he dodged the boys wicked hands. As he fell he grabbed Gaara's legs and used his momentum to flip himself and Gaara around at fats speeds until suddenly he let go of Gaara and the boy was sent hurtling towards the earth.
Gaara disappeared inside the dust cloud and a second later a large pillar of dust shot out and into the air showing that Naruto's attack had worked and Gaara had slammed into the earth. Naruto began running through hands seals and he landed on the last one while shouting.
"Kirigakure no Jutsu!"
Mist seemed to shot from all sides of the arena as it merged with the dust and soon overwhelmed it. Naruto fell towards the mist cloud and disappeared inside of it. He landed lightly on the ground and looked around with his eyes closed. Zabuza had taught him how the Jutsu really worked when he first learned it. Since the mist was infused with ones chakra it meant that if there was a disturbance in the chakra or a foreign chakra one would be able to sense it. Naruto was simply looking for the massive out pour of Gaara's chakra.
It didn't take long for him to find it and it was about ten feet away. Naruto grinned as he slowly pulled out his sword. Naruto watched as the red demon chakra slowly begun to boil and it encased the sword slowly until there was a glowing outline of red on the blade. Naruto chuckled as he began to approach Zabuza with a assassins stealth. When he was a step away he swung downwards at the boy's head and grinned as he felt the blade sink down into where the boys arm was.
Naruto began to pull his blade back but it wouldn't budge at all. He grunted with effort to yank the blade back but suddenly he felt something running across his feet and he didn't have much time to react before sand shot up at him. Naruto yelled in anger as sand began to encase his body.
"SHIT!" He screamed as he was yanked away from his sword. He cancelled the effects of the Kirigakure and after about four minutes the mist had completely disappeared and the entire audience could finally see what was going on. Naruto heard gasps as he stood with sand creeping up his body slowly. Gaara's sand was at his neck now and Naruto saw that his sword was stuck in a SAND Gaara. Naruto saw the sand that made the Suna Clone falling off the clone and it was now holding him. In front of him stood a grinning Gaara who was holding his hand outstretched.
"How the hell?" Naruto demanded and Gaara cocked his head to the side as he grinned at Naruto sadistically.
"You over confident…you thought that I couldn't see you because of the mist…this entire arena has sand on it. MY SAND WITH MY CHAKRA! I could sense where you were walking you idiot!" Gaara roared and jumped forward and grabbed Naruto's sword form the now miss happened Suna Bunshin. Naruto grunted as Gaara held the sword that Naruto had come to love in his hand with a grin on his face.
"This damn sword makes me angry…I'll use it as a demonstration of what's about to happen to you!" Gaara screamed as sand shot up and encased the sword. Gaara pulled his hand out from the sphere of sand encasing the sword and as soon as it was out he clenched his hand together and Naruto's face fell darkly.
The sand compressed and then bent and twisted in different shapes. Naruto watched as Gaara released his hand and the sand fell to the ground and in it were shards of Naruto's now destroyed sword.
"My sword…" Naruto mumbled as he stared at the destroyed extension of his arm. "You bastard!" Naruto screamed. Zabuza had crafted the sword for him as a gift and now it was gone…destroyed. Zabuza had taught Naruto that a sword was a Swordsmen partner… Naruto had just lost that partner.
"You're next!" Gaara screamed as sand shot up and covered all of Naruto. The blond disappeared in the sand sphere and the audience tensed as the match started to show how it was going to end.
"NARUTO!" Tayuya screamed as the sand covered the body of the boy she had extreme feelings for. She smashed her fists against the rail as tears streamed down her face. "I-it's better th-this way. I won't h-have to fight him." she said trying to console herself.
The pink haired girl fell to the ground crying.
"Gaara NO!" Temari screamed as she covered her eyes in sadness.
"Jiraiya! I want the ANBU out now, stop this match!" The Hokage screamed and Jiraiya chuckled.
"Don't count that kid out yet…" Jiraiya said and pointed towards the arena.
"DIE!" Gaara screamed a she clenched his fist together and the sand imploded and there was an explosion of red.

"AHHHH!" Gaara screamed as he was blasted backwards. He slammed into the wall and landed in a crouch as he stared at the area that Naruto had been standing. His sand had exploded and some had turned into glass while a lot of it was now blown back against the edge of the arena. Naruto stood panting while his demonic chakra flickered before disappearing finally.
"My turn!" he muttered and ran at Gaara while making a cross seal.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
A crowd of about 20 clones appeared around Naruto and all 21 Naruto's ran at Gaara. They threw themselves at the red haired boy as they pummeled him. Gaara roared in anger as he took the beating until finally he threw his hands apart and a large wave of chakra blew the clones away in a large cloud of smoke that quickly dispersed. Naruto was thrown backwards and skidded to a halt. He watched as Gaara clawed at the ground wildly as sand began to creep up his body. After a minute the sand had encased his body in a thin coat all the way up to his chest. His shoulders, arms, and head were untouched by the sand coat.
"What the hell…" Naruto muttered and suddenly Gaara screamed as he threw himself at Naruto.
"DIE!" The boy screamed.
Suddenly in flash of black and purple Konton appeared in front of start in front of his mouth was a black and purple ball of pure demonic energy.
"Youkai no Koketsukosen!"
The ball exploded in a black and purple tornado and slammed into Gaara's body. Naruto heard Gaara scream as he was sent flying backwards at the arena wall again and just as he slammed into the wall brown chakra began to explode from his body. Naruto watched as Konton poured all of his chakra in his body into the attack in order to keep Gaara at bay but Naruto knew that the demon fox stood no chance against a Jinchuuriki.
"He's losing control." Naruto muttered as he stood to his feet and placed his hand on Konton's head. He began to pour chakra into the fox so that the attack would be more powerful and the effects were immediate. The black and purple tornado grew larger and suddenly Naruto saw blue chakra mixed in with it. He heard Gaara scream louder and Brown chakra began to erupt form there he was.
"I can't keep this up much longer!" Konton growled as he reared his head back and put more force into the attack.
"Hold on! I'm about to finish this anyways!" Naruto screamed as he jumped back and made a cross seal.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
A clone appeared by his side suddenly and he held his hand out and began to pour chakra into it. A sphere of chakra began to form in his hand and Naruto grunted as he poured more and more chakra into the attack. After a minute Naruto stood with a perfect sphere of rotating chakra in his hand and he was staring at the black and purple tornado.
"Okay Konton, right after I jump off you head release the Jutsu!" Naruto screamed as he ran at the fox.
"Okay! WAIT WH- OWWW!" Konton screamed as Naruto jumped off his fox's head an hurtled through the air with the Rasengan in his right hand. He watched as Konton reared his head back and finished the Jutsu. The tornado died down and let Gaara drop to the ground. Naruto saw that Gaara now crouched on all fours and his body no longer had a clear brown cloak around it. Now Gaara was a mini sized wolf and behind it swayed one sand tail while Gaara's face was gone and in it's place was a Wolf's head with long spiky hair made out of sand. The wolf roared as it saw Naruto and Naruto swore.
Gaara hadn't lost complete control otherwise he would have been much, much, much bigger then he was now. Naruto looked and saw that even though Gaara's body was completely different he still bore the same sad eyes, the eyes of a lone wolf. Naruto didn't have time to have sympathy for the lonely boy because the Wolf jumped up at him snarling with it's razor sharp sand claws outstretched.
Naruto and the wolf drew closer and closer and right before they were about to collide Naruto did a back flip in mid flight and his foot slammed into the wolfs jaw and sent it flipping backwards. Naruto was still flying at it and brought his arm around just as the wolf flipped again, showing its now unguarded chest to the blond. Naruto reared his ahnd back and let out a battle cry, the Rasengan spiraling faster in his ahnd.
"Is that! Did you teach him the Rasengan!" The Hokage yelled and Jiraiya chuckled.
"Only took him 19 days." The Sannin said and Hiruzen collapsed into his chair.
"Kami help us all if the boy ever turns against us or we make a move against him." the Hokage muttered.
"That's…Sensei's technique!" Kakashi screamed and pounded his fists against the rail. "Naruto, how did you learn that?" Kakashi muttered angrily.
"YEAHHHHHH KICK HIS ASS NARUTO! YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAHHHHHH!" Zabuza screamed a she stood on top of his chair pumping his fists wildly.
"Zabuza-san sit down!" Haku hissed and Zabuza looked around and saw several people staring at him.
"Haven't I seen you before?" a ninja demanded suddenly.
"Uhh, no?" Zabuza said with a small chuckle.
"THIS IS THE END GAARA!" Naruto screamed as the wolf roared uselessly. "AFTER IT ALL…MAYBE WE CAN BE FRIENDS!" Naruto screamed as he slammed the Jutsu into the wolf's chest.
Everything became silent as the Rasengan disappeared.
…
…
…
…
"RASENGAN!"
There was an explosion of chakra as the ball of chakra reformed and blew outwards sending the sand wolf flying at the ground. Sand was falling off of it as it hit the ground with a thundering boom. Naruto landed heavily on the ground and held his right arm which was rather hurt now. He watched as the sand wolf slowly stood to it's fee, sand streaming off its body. The head fell off in clumps and Naruto could see Gaara's shocked face looking at him. Gaara was holding his injured chest where the sand was completely gone and a large wound was there. Around the edges of the sand was glass from the intense friction of the Jutsu.
"What you just said…do you really mean it?" Gaara said in a hoarse voice.
"That maybe we can be friends?" Naruto asked as he panted heavily. He took a step forward but Gaara took a step back.
"NO! Stay away from me!" Gaara screamed as he collapsed to his knees.
Naruto walked closer before he stumbled and caught himself on all fours. He began to crawl forward slowly and Gaara swept his hand forward but he was completely drained and so the sand he tried to move only rose up into the air a little bit before it fell to the ground in a pile.
"Gaara…I saw your eyes…you want a friend, let me be the one." Naruto said and Gaara growled as he dropped to his side.
"You fool! I want to kill you! How can you just accept me?" Gaara screamed as his sand body fell apart and was back in his normal yet torn attire.
"Because, you and me…we're the same aren't we?" Naruto asked and Gaara froze. "We both know the pain of being alone…the pain of being hated, but I know what it feels like to make a friend and I can only hope that you allow me to let you have that happiness." Naruto said as he dropped right in front of Gaara.
"You fool…" Gaara muttered as he closed his eyes heavily.
"CHIDORI!"
Naruto looked around as time slowed down to the point where it was almost frozen. Sasuke was dropping from the sky with his new Jutsu in his good hand while his right arm hung uselessly at his side. Naruto looked down and saw Gaara looking at the Jutsu in horror. From how drained the boy was there was not anyway that he would be able to dodge this Jutsu.
"SASUKE NO!" Naruto screamed and reached out to stop the attack but he couldn't.
The lightning attack pierced the center of Gaara's chest and Sasuke stood standing above the boy panting heavily as he grinned evilly. Naruto shook with anger, disgust, and… sorrow. The blond felt his anger consuming him as he stood to his feet slowly and Sasuke looked up and saw the glare that he was receiving.
"Then there was two. Don't cry, he had to die, he was a threat to the village right. You saw how he killed anyone and everyone." Sasuke said as he pulled his hand out of Gaara.
"Sasuke…" Naruto said as red chakra began to spiral around him. "I'm going to kill you!" Naruto screamed as he disappeared in a flash of red.
"ARGH!" Sasuke grunted as he arched over. Naruto's knee was buried in his gut and by the time that Sasuke had realized what happened Naruto had disappeared again and reappeared behind the boy. He grabbed Sasuke's neck and tossed him into the air. The Uchiha flipped head over heel and Naruto focused his chakra into his feet and jumped into the air. He attacked Sasuke from all angles until the boy was a bloody mess.
Naruto let Sasuke's body fall to the ground as he held his hands at his sides.
"HOW DARE YOU KILL A DEFENSELESS OPPONENT!" Naruto screamed as his eyes shifted from glowing blue to bright red and silted.
"What the hell…" Sasuke said as he coughed up blood. He didn't have much time to think because he found himself slammed into the ground by Naruto's fist. As he crashed into the ground it spider webbed and chunks shot up. Sasuke bounced up and Naruto spun in a circle and brought his leg around letting it collide with Sasuke's torso. The raven haired boy flew at the arena wall and he slammed into it.
Sasuke fell to the ground breathing heavily and holding his side. Naruto began to run through hand seals and when he finished he held his hands straight in front of him. Water began to form in front of his hands and spiral in a ball of raging red and blue water. Sasuke pulled himself up into sitting position and stared at Naruto in horror.
Naruto roared in anger as the ball condensed and then expanded before shooting out in a beam of raging red and blue water. It spiraled like a drill as it flew at Sasuke.
"SUITON: SUISO UCHIKOWASU!"
The drill of water exploded just before it hit the Uchiha and Naruto stood panting as he watched the water fall to the ground. Standing in front of Sasuke was none other than Hatake Kakashi. Naruto growled as Kakashi held his hand in front of himself and Naruto grinned as he saw the streams of blood running down the Jonin's arm.
"Uchiha Sasuke is disqualified for the interference of his Jonin Sensei Hatake Kakashi!" Genma yelled loudly and then finished. "The winner of the Konohagakure Chunin Exams is UZUMAKI NARUTO!"
Naruto didn't even register what Genma said as he stared at Kakashi and Sasuke. Sasuke was staring at Naruto in fear and horror while Kakashi had anger written all over his face. Naruto clenched his fists together as he felt demon chakra still whirling around his body. He wasn't in his demon cloak form but he knew that if angered anymore he would be and he would at least kill Sasuke finally.
"You son of a bitch!" Kakashi screamed. "Who do you think you are to attack my student like that?"
"I think I was a contestant in the Chunin exams!" Naruto said evilly as he made clone suddenly. He held out his ahnd as the clone began to form a Rasengan.
"I'm going to end you now!" Kakashi said as he saw the technique. "You have no right to use my sensei's technique."
"HA! I have every right!" Naruto said not even registering what Kakashi said.
Kakashi pulled out a kunai and took a step towards Naruto but there was a massive explosion of water and standing in front of Naruto was a VERY pissed off Zabuza.
"If you ever dare…touch my nephew and my student." Zabuza said as he drew out his sword. "I will kill you." the man said and Kakashi took a step back.
"Momoichi Zabuza?" Kakashi muttered.
"No, Uzumaki Zabuza!" the man roared and Naruto grinned.
"Meet my mom's brother…Kakashi!" Naruto said and that was when a massive explosion rocked the arena.
"Orochimaru is attacking!" Jiraiya shouted and he looked at the Hokage. "Let's go."
"Yes…it's about time that Teacher and students fight with each other again." The Hokage said.
"I'm sorry Naruto…I love you." Tayuya said as she stepped back into the shadows.
"He-he Ochi, it's time for you to go…" The leader of Kusa said and the teen in front of him nodded.
"Yeah, but I hope that I get to relax after this is done…" Ochi said as he stretched.
"Don't forget what you're here for." the leader of Kusa said.
"Yeah I know! " Ochi said and grinned while flashing his bright white teeth. His blue hair hung down in front of his blue eyes and his hair stretched down past his shoulders. He had on a pair of black shorts and over that he had a blue T-shirt on. He didn't wear any shoes since he ran faster with out them.
"Don't hesitate to unleash your power…all five tails." the leader said.
"Yeah, Gobi no Wani wants out so… I should let her." Ochi said with a small grin.
"do you remember who your target is, say it!" the leader demanded.
"YES! UZUMAKI NARUTO. When I'm done with him…he will only be a piece of scrap meat." Ochi said with a dark chuckle.
A:N = YEAHHHHHH! Done, I'm BACK! HAHA thanks to you who were patient and I passed all my classes and so I am going to become a junior YEAH YEAH! But anyways, I hope no one is disappointed with the way the chapter went. I had to break through my writers block and now everything is coming out like a raging waterfall. Sasuke has gotten his ass kicked by Naruto now, Naruto wants to kill him, Naruto won the Chunin exams, Zabuza hates Kakashi and yeah!
