Disclaimer: I will never own Naruto. If I did Itachi would be a hero not pushing up daisies.
Chapter 21: Naruto Vs Gaara, Nine tails Vs One tail, Kokugen Vs Sand…
"Begin!" Genma yelled as jumped away from a sand claw heading for Naruto.
"I don't think so, Water Style: Water Cascade!" Naruto yelled out as he did a bunch of seals and water erupted around him forming a lake, as the sand claw hit the water it slowed down to a craw and stopped.
"Hn…" Gaara was not surprised by this.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!" Naruto yelled as a dragon formed from the lake and impacted against Gaara.
"That was a waste." Gaara stated as his sand barrier move to protect him.
"I know but I got want I wanted. Water Style: Whirlpool Ocean!" Naruto yelled out as he slammed his palm into the self made lake.
"Hn." Gaara didn't react, but Genma did by jumping to the driest place, the wall, as the lake started to rotate and create a whirlpool.
"You know Gaara I know that you use sand but sand is all you can control not mud so give up." Naruto stated as he kicked Gaara into the lake.
In the stands…
"Well he did his research, Gaara of the desert's power comes from the sand he controls take that away you got to rely on other skills." A chuunin exam inspector stated to his buddy.
"With the way he uses his opponents own skills against them is a high rated jonin skill, the one thing he lacks in is experience." The other one stated.
With the other Genin…
"Man, is Naruto one step ahead of Gaara?" Kiba asked his friends.
"It would seem that we underestimated my blonde teammate." Sakura stated.
"Naruto-kun…" Two voices stated. Than looked at each other.
"Hi Haku-chan." Hinata stated.
"So is he showing off or just bidding his time?" Haku asked Hinata.
"Byakugan. Just making Gaara look like a fool." Hinata stated. "It seems that Gaara can't swim."
"Proctor I don't want to kill Gaara but as you can see he is drowning." Naruto pointed out to the proctor.
"Winner Naruto Uzumaki! Could you stop the lake?" Genma asked.
"Sure. Water Style: Reverse Flow!" Naruto stated as all of the water just disappeared.
"Mommy…" Gaara mumbled as Naruto helped him up and brought him back up to the nurses.
Back in the arena…
"Would Temari Sabaku and Sasuke Uchiha please report to the arena!" Genma yelled out over the roar of the crowd.
"Just give up your no match for me." Sasuke stated to Temari.
"I guess I have to do what I did to my younger brother." Temari stated as she hefted her fan.
"Begin…" Genma ordered.
Sasuke quickly went through the seals for a fireball and launched it, Temari just swung her fan twice and caused the fireball to implode. "Nani… Well I guess that it is true, wind does improve fire, but Chidori!" Sasuke yelled out as he went through the necessary seals for it and created an electrical surge of energy to appear in his hand and he charged at Temari.
"Is that all?" Temari asked as she moved her fully open fan behind her. "Wind Style: Pressure Hammer!" Temari yelled out but made no movement yet.
"Tsk… it's over!" Sasuke yelled out as he came ever so close to her, but when he was barely in too close for her fan to hit him she swung it, releasing all that pent up chakra and sent Sasuke to the other side of the arena.
"Proctor, it's over if he gets back up I'm not responsible for what happens." Temari stated without a care to the world.
"It's not over yet…" Sasuke yelled out as he stumbled out of the pile he was in, all bloody and cut up, "I don't know how you managed it, but I will beat you." Sasuke stated as he wavered.
"Winner Temari!" Genma yelled out as he took in Sasuke's current condition.
"I can still fight." Sasuke demanded.
"You might be able to still fight, but a chuunin knows when to back off." Genma stated. "And if I say the match is over, it's over. Nothing short of the Daimyo telling me the match continues is in vain. Now go get cleaned up. It's time for the next match Temari Vs Naruto!" Genma stated as he waited for Naruto to come down.
A/N: No compliants about Sasuke's match he had it easy so I decided to give him one that would be a disadvantage to him. And he does need to be lowered in ego... but enough on him. How did you like Gaara vs. Naruto? And next up is the final round, and maybe the attack of Sand and Sound.
