Chapter 21 – Devils Edge
Hey guys, welcome back to the ride, this is your leader Frank Strong a.k.a. Reaper INI. Now before I begin let me talk about someone that I just learned existed yesterday. He goes by the name Afro Lord0 and he is a loser, nobody and a racist. Yesterday I was going through my email when I get a review from one of my stories. It was a flame, so I was going to respond with a good old hardy American "Fuck You" and move on when he wrote in, as clear as day, the N-word. Now I know you guys probably feel mad at that but let me tell you something funny.
He has one story on the site and two fans read it, but here's where it gets funny, his fans are his BROTHERS, and one of them hates the story and the other one is a GIRL. I laughed my ass off when I saw that and I thought I should share this with you, my fans. Its funny when people like that try to act bad or let their swagger go a little to high, when in real life they are just pathetic loser's.
It was also thanks to him that I've grown to appreciate my fans more and more by the day so I want to give a good thank you to everyone that has read and liked this story.
Now let's get it on
The remaining days have come and gone, and now team seven stood amongst the others that passed through the forest and completed the second exam. Among them were the rookie nine, team Gai, Kabuto's team, the team from Oto, and the team from Suna. Anko stood before them all with a blank look on her face. However, she would have her eyes look in Naruto's direction once every few minutes.
Said white haired boy yawned into his hand as he looked at the front with a bored look. The last three days were spent on doing nothing but sleeping and eating. It was also during that time, he got a little action with Hinata after he felt his lust for her overload his self-control, though the white eyed girl didn't mind one bit. Though she wished her leg would work at a hundred percent during the next exam
'I told those brats that I would cut them all in half, though twenty one is a bit disappointing. I was kinda hoping that only a few would make it' Anko said before she nodded towards the Hokage
"Your team is quite impressive Kakashi but perhaps they just got lucky this one time. However with me team here, your team would have to do the impossible and accomplish what many would think they cannot." Gai said quietly only to see Kakashi was reading his book.
The masked jounin picked up his head and looked towards Gai "I'm sorry Gai, did you say something just now?" Kakashi said with his patented eye smile
"DARN YOU KAKASHI WITH YOUR HIP ATTITUDE. I SWEAR THAT I WILL BEAT YOU ONCE MORE AND PROVE THAT THE FLAMES OF YOUTH SHALL PROSPER AGAIN." Gai yelled while forming a fist with his eyes igniting with fire along with his fist thus causing the masked ninja to sweat drop before he turned his full attention back to the teams before him
"For some odd reason I can't say that I have a good feeling about all this." Sasuke mumbled under his breathe before he grunted in pain and grabbed hold of his shoulder. Sakura saw this and instantly got worried.
"Sasuke-kun, you need to have that thing checked out. Who knows what would happen if that thing activates again." Sakura said with Sasuke turning his attention to her
"Sakura, I have no desire what so ever to quit no when I'm this far ahead in the game." He said with Sakura giving him a completely worried look
"Please Sasuke-kun, you must give up-," she was saying before he gave her a hard glare that completely silenced her
"I'm not quitting Sakura, not for anybody and especially not for you. I am an avenger and this is the way I want to go down in order to reach my goal." He said with his mark pulsing before Naruto spoke catching all three of their attentions
"Uchiha, you are already going down a bad path with that demonic hicky on your neck. If you lose yourself to that power then you won't have to worry about your desire because I will make sure it ends right then and there." He said looking at Sasuke with his eyes looking into his charcoal black eyes. Sasuke felt the scowl on his face
'Its amazing to see this many gennin make it to the next level with most of them being rookies, no wonder the sensei's were confident with their abilities.' Sarutobi thought looking at Kakashi, Kurenai, Gai, and Asuma from the corner of his eye before he cleared his throat rather loudly catching everyone's attention
"Now to everyone that has made it this far, must congratulate all of you on passing the second exam. Now listen carefully as Hokage-sama now wishes to take the floor and to explain to you all what the third test shall be." Anko said with Sarutobi taking that floor. He then went into a well given presentation on the importance of the exam, as it was a required replacement for war among the allied countries. He also stated that the point of the exam was to help keep the peace and to prevent pointless battles as well as pointless deaths among shinobi.
He also stated that it was thanks to this initiative that more clients would be willing to hire shinobi villages for missions with the presenting of the villages own prestige, and thus increase the village's economy. The more the gennin impress the individuals that can make future clients with the shinobi villages, then the more clients will come to their village.
To say that everyone was surprised was an understatement, it was only until the appearance Gekkou Hayate appeared before the gennin did the Hokage stop his lecture.
"(cough) Hokage-sama, please forgive my interruption but as the referee of this exam please allow me to explain." Hayate said with Sarutobi nodding and giving the sickly looking jounin the floor. Hayate then turned to the gennin making Naruto raise an eyebrow, as he looked the man over. He was dressed in the uniform most jounin wore and was using his headband as a bandana. That however wasn't what caught the white haired gennin's attention as the man was quite pale and had large bags under his eyes. All in all he looked half-dead, which made everyone wonder how the man was able to be a shinobi while looking that sick?
"Hello everyone (cough) I am Hayate, the proctor for the third exam. However before we can begin said exam I must inform you all that you must go through a preliminary round before we can move onward to the main event." Hayate said getting an instant reaction from some of the gennin.
"Why do we have to have a preliminary? Don't we all have the chance to continue after making it this far?" Sakura asked
"To be completely honest to you all, you gone through the easy part of the exam since all you had to do was gather information and learn your way around a surrounding while simultaneously working to complete a missionary objective. The simple fact that seven teams completed the first two exams this year means that it's getting to easy. In order to maintain the right amount we must reduce the number of you all to a manageable number for the third test. Also the reason for the preliminary, as indicated by Hokage-sama there will be many guests attending with very busy schedules and we ourselves as limited on time." Hayate explained with everyone seemingly understanding what he was saying
"Now then before we begin this exam I must ask to anyone that wishes to quit this portion of the exam if they aren't up to snuff yet, please come forward now so we can begin the prelims. After waiting for a few minutes and Sakura almost raising her hands for Sasuke's sake, only to be chewed out by said Uchiha, only one hand was raised
Naruto himself scoffed at Sakura's feeble attempts to get him to quit, as doing that was like him trying to put the moves on Sakura to have a one-night stand with her or him telling her that she's beautiful, isn't going to happen. Anyway the one person's hand just so happened to be Kabuto, who claimed that he lost too much of his chakra and sustained an injury that hasn't healed yet.
With that said the boy turned to leave the area when Naruto stopped him dead in his tracks as well as getting everyone's attention
"Kabuto, I have a distinct feeling that you aren't telling the full truth, however I have an exam to win so I'll let you go. But know this never cross paths with the devil again, or hells judgment will soon call to you." He said releasing a quick blast of K.I. Kabuto then gasped when he felt something go across his chest. He looked behind his back and saw Naruto standing tall with Rebellion on his back.
Kabuto then felt his chest explode and his blood covering the floor below his feet. Reality kicked in as Kabuto felt his chest and was marveled that he didn't get killed just now. Kabuto then turned and walked out of the door, very careful not to let his emotions get the better of him and reveal his fighting skills thus drawing unwanted attention his way.
Once Kabuto was gone and seeing as how nobody else wished to quit the exam Hayate then moved on. He gave a quick and simple speech on what the rules of the prelims were and the simple fact was that there were no rules, all the fights were no holds barred. A fight would go on until either the opponent surrendered, knocked out, or…well killed. Once he said that an electronic screen appeared too installed within one of the walls. Once he explained that all matches would be selected at random. The screen then shuffled the name before two were selected, which made Sakura gasp
Uchiha Sasuke vs. Akado Yoroi
Sakura was shocked to find that Sasuke was fighting first, but she would have to believe that he could fight without so much as breaking a sweat.
"Will every non participant in the first match please head up to the balcony area." Hayate said
Everyone moved to the clearing, while on the way Naruto heard Kakashi tell Sasuke not to activate his Sharingan or else he would have to step in and stop the match. Naruto already contemplated that if that were to happen, The Uchiha's curse seal would activate and that would force a DQ on his part. Naruto had a smirk on his face, knowing full well that without the Sharingan, the Uchiha was basically useless.
"Okay the first match Uchiha Sasuke vs. Akado Yoroi..Hajime." Hayate said before he jumped back. Sasuke was on the defensive the entire match, dodging attacks left and right as his opponent held the ability to drain a person of his chakra and use it as his own. Naruto was confused to learn of such an ability existing, as there was never any records regarding a clan that could absorb another person's chakra.
However in the end though, Sasuke proved once more that his Sharingan was the only thing that made him strong. Sasuke ducked under a punch from Yoroi before he kicked upward in a crouched position. Naruto's eyes narrowed at that, as he knew that was his technique and Sasuke copied it during their fight in the forest. Now that bastard had the nerve to claim this was his original maneuver, using the initial kick from the Primary lotus technique and the dancing leaf shadow technique and then added a different flare to it by adding in some mid air combo's before he slammed the heal of his foot into Yoroi's chest calling "Lion's combo"
Once the match ended and Sasuke was declared the winner, Kakashi appeared behind him and took him away from the area. After waving everyone off he disappeared along with Sasuke in order to patch up that seal on his neck. Once the medics got Yoroi out of the area the randomizer started once more and soon revealed the name of those in the second match
Aburame Shino vs. Akimichi Choji
"Oh man, why do I have to face Shino?" Choji asked with Shikamaru patting him on his back and told him good luck. Shino didn't say anything as he stood with his arms hidden in his overcoat pockets.
"The second match between Aburame Shino vs. Akimichi Choji…Hajime." He said
The match only lasted about a good two minutes, due to Shino having to recall his bugs whenever Choji would enter into his expansion jutsu and use the meat tank technique that his clan is so fond of. Shino kept dodging around the area with Choji not to far behind the boy, until Shino got an idea. After he dodged yet another strike from Choji, Shino landed in front of one of the walls and awaited for the bog boy to take the bait
He did, as he rolled his body in pretty fast speed and would have hit Shino, had said boy not jump over him and thus trapped him in the wall. Shino would then unleash a swarm of his bugs and would then have them feed on Choji's chakra but only enough to knock him unconscious. Shino may not have that many friends, but to the few that he had, he was by far the most loyal out of everyone
After taking Choji's chakra, the jutsu dispelled itself and soon revealed a swirl eyed Choji, who gave up the match to Shino. Once the boy was declared the winner, he walked towards the stands, while Choji himself was carted away by the medics, even though they had some difficulties at first due to his size. Once his body was cleared, the screen started again and two names were picked
Kunkuro no Sabaku vs. Tsurugi Misumi
Now this match up caught Naruto's attention, as he wanted to see what abilities Kunkuro held. The match started with Misumi revealing that he had the ability to release the bones in his body and make his body intangible like rubber. Once that was revealed Misumi would then wrapped his entire body around Kunkuro and after a quick struggle did Misumi break the neck of Kunkuro, after he refused to forfeit the match. It was then directly after did people learn that Kunkuro wasn't really dead as his neck snapped behind his head and looked at Misumi before wood revealed itself
It was then that Kunkuro revealed that the person Misumi was trying to kill was none other a puppet, as a pair of arms burst out from within the jumpsuit it was wearing and was now squeezing the life out of Misumi. Kunkuro himself, appeared from the wrapped bundle with chakra strings attached to his fingers and was connected directly to his hands. He basically revealed that he himself was the puppeteer to the puppet itself.
Kunkuro then applied hard pressure onto Misumi, who surrendered the match immediately only for Kunkuro to give one more squeeze which knocked out Misumi. Kunkuro then dropped the rubber boy's body on the ground as he rewrapped his puppet and walked back to the stands.
Naruto himself had a large smirk on his face, as he had hoped that the boy would pose a threat later on. After the medics got the body of Misumi, the screen lit up and two more names were placed together
Nara Shikamaru vs. Inuzuka Kiba
"Yes, to bad we didn't get the dobe but Shikamaru with do, right Akamaru?" Kiba said getting a bark from his dog companion as he jumped over the railing and down to the ground, while Shikamaru muttered troublesome to himself before walked down to the floor and stood before an egger Kiba. Hayate then declared the match to begin and wasting very little time was Kiba, as he match a quick seal and called out "Beat-mimicry: All fours jutsu" before charging at the lazy boy, who simply dodged to the left and allow the boy to miss horribly
Kiba wasn't fazed by it as he planted his foot on the ground before jumping at Shikamaru while calling out "Piercing Fang" and turned into a tornado of sorts. Naruto watched the match with slight boredom, as Kiba seemed to continue to try and hit the boy only for Shikamaru to keep dodging the attacks by the dog boy
"Shikamaru will you just take this guy out already?" Naruto said with Shikamaru muttering trouble some white haired boy before he stood ready for spinning Inuzuka clan member. The dog boy flew at him in quick speed before Shikamaru jumped to the side and allowed the boy to pass. Kiba however didn't noticed that he was heading for the wall only for him to slam his head and knocked himself out into the wall behind Shikamaru
To that wasn't funny was a HUGE understatement, as Naruto, Anko, and Lee were on the ground rolling, while the others were just holding in the chuckles in their throats. When Kiba was taken back to the medical center the next set of names were chosen and one of them made the white haired boy frown.
Tsukiakari Tenten vs. Haruno Sakura
Sakura looked completely confident that she would win against this girl and prove to Naruto that she wasn't useless until Naruto spoke "Sakura, forfeit the match and save us all some time." The boy said making Sakura gasp before she spoke
"Why should I? You already think I'm useless so I going to prove you wrong." She said feeling a little hurt but she had to remember that the boy didn't like her nor trust her anymore
"I'm not saying that just because I think your worthless. I'm saying it out of pity to Ten-chan. You won't even be a challenge to her, though Temari-chan would defiantly give her a run for her money." He said with Tenten blushing at the fact that Naruto was confident in her ability as a kunoichi and Temari for Naruto saying that she was strong, even though she hasn't fought yet. Sakura, however felt herself tear up before she got a determined look on her face and walked down to the floor.
Naruto himself sighed deeply before he looked at what would be an EXTREMELY easy fight for Tenten. Once Sakura arrived to the floor, her serious look never left her but Tenten had a rather dull and bored look on her face. she could easily tell that this girl wasn't kunoichi material and soon felt the need to nip it in the bud and spoke
"You should listen to Naruto-kun, he knows what he's talking about when it comes to fighting." Tenten said with Sakura looking like she was getting pretty mad
"No. I'm going to finally prove once and for all that I am not worthless, and beat you right here." Sakura said with Naruto sighing
'I warned her.' He thought before Hayate raised his arms "The fifth match between Tsukiakari Tenten and Haruno Sakura…Hajime"
Sakura wasted little time in making the first move, as she threw three kunai's at Tenten before she ran at the girl while doing some seals and brought out three clones. Tenten sighed as she dodged the first kunai but grabbed the last two in the air and threw it back at the pink haired girl that took out her two clones in a quick flash.
Tenten then stepped aside as Sakura sent a flying kick at her head and pushed her away from her and made Sakura trip on her own two feet. Sakura did regain her footing and sent the heel of her right foot at Tenten's head, which was caught before she was thrown across the floor and landed on her chest.
Tenten sighed as she approached the pink haired "If that is the best that you can do, then what's the point of getting serious in this? I'm only giving you one last chance for you to give up. Someone playing ninja has no way to beat one." Tenten said in a harsh tone with Sakura getting up from the ground and coughed hard for a moment before getting the air back in her lungs
"I'm not playing ninja, I earned this headband and I plan to prove to you the reason why I earned it." She said with Tenten scoffing
"Please, the only requirement is that you pass a written exam, make a few clones, and impress your sensei with teamwork. Naruto-kun said it himself "If I didn't change my whole act before the test and stayed as that weak little blonde boy, I still would have became a gennin". Just face the facts, your worthless." Tenten said with Sakura finally losing it. She then removed her headband that she used to hold her hair back and tied it around her forehead
She then launched another kunai at the weapons mistress before she charged forward while creating two more clones. All three then ran in a crisscrossing pattern before they were full ready to attack. To bad for her Tenten already knew this trick, as she slapped the kunai away and ran at pink haired girl.
One clone sent a wide-angle kick at Tenten's head, only for the girl to duck under it and held her right arm back. When Sakura neared, Tenten then sent an uppercut that nailed Sakura in her chin and sent her into the air before she fell on her back and skidded across the floor. The pink haired girl would then try to pick herself up but found that she couldn't do so no matter how hard she tried.
Tenten then shook her head in disappointment before she spoke to Sakura "Did you actually think that that would work? to use an academy level method of tactics on a two year gennin? Naruto-kun said that at the academy you were recognized as the smartest amongst your generation's new gennins, yet here you are using the method learned in the academy." Tenten said with Sakura looking down though Tenten felt much more was needed to be said.
"Besides Naruto-kun told me everything that you are in shinobi terms. All you do is fawn over that pathetic Uchiha, who doesn't even try to acknowledge your existence much less who you are. In addition, to further make matters worse all you do is follow that emo you call a teammate like a sick puppy instead of spending your time training or improving your skills. If you quit thinking with your pussy and start using what people acknowledge you for behind that movie screen length forehead of yours, you may get Naruto-kun's acknowledgement." She said as she walked away from the still downed girl, who passed out and was picked up by her sensei.
Tenten then walked up to Naruto and surprised everyone when she gave him a small kiss before she smirked at him
"How did I do Naruto-kun?" she asked while grinding her hips over Naruto's crouch area
"Like a lady after my heart." He said with her smiling at him, knowing that he was cheering for her even though he already knew she would win the match. The screen the lit up once more and revealed the next match to all that were to participate
Temari vs. Yamanaka Ino
"Damn, Temari-chan got an easy one to." Naruto said quietly to Tenten and Hinata, as Ino and Temari stood on the floor.
"Naruto-kun don't say that, Ino-san could win this." Hinata said only to see Naruto shake his head indicating that he said no
"She's worse compared to Sakura with the only improvement is that she has ONE jutsu more then what Sakura has, but its useless unless she can catch her opponent off guard which is also impossible. She is also a far worse fan girl then Sakura is, as if you even ask to take her training seriously she would need something for you to bribe her with. Besides Temari is by far better since she has been training since the day she could walk and judging by the size of that fan she's quite strong with it. Ino is facing one of the worst opponents she could have." Naruto said with everyone looking shocked, as they listened in to the intellect of the boy.
And indeed Naruto's words spoke the truth, because as soon as Hayate started the match Temari opened her fan straight to the third moon and unleashed her wind scythe jutsu, that sent Ino flying into the stands and hit the wall with full force, thus knocking her unconscious. Naruto sighed as Temari was declared the winner. When the blonde girl began to walk back to the stands she looked in Naruto's direction and gave him a wink before walking to where her team was
"That's not a bad perception kid." Kunkuro said catching everyone's attention "My sister is recognized as the strongest gennin kunoichi throughout all of Suna, and that's is mainly because Suna isn't as kind or soft hearted as this village when it comes to gennin. If it wasn't for the Kazekage's desire to have her and myself be on the same team as Gaara, she would most likely be a jounin." He said with everyone just looking shocked.
The screen on the wall once more flashed until two names were called that surprised people
Rock Lee vs. Tsuchi Kin
Lee had a small smirk on his face, as he walked down to the floor along with Kin following him as well before they both stood on the floor facing each other
"You know normally I don't fight women, so I won't attack you." He said with Kin smirking to herself before she pulled out some senbon
"Okay then, I guess it'll be an easy win for me." Kin said with Hayate beginning the match. Kin was about to throw the senbon before Lee held up his hand and reached for his sunglasses
"I said I wouldn't attack you, not that I wouldn't fight you. I have other means to get the victory." He said before he pushed up his glasses and opened his eyes, with Kin preparing for whatever he had planned for her. Kin's eyes widened, as she looked into Lee's Mashingan, as it glowed and spun around before Kin began to get a funny feeling in her lower body. She tried to ignore it, but it continued to return with more forcefulness then earlier until she could no longer resist it and began to play with herself in front of everyone.
"Ohhh, Ohhh Lee-kun don't stop, don't stop Lee-kun, keep hitting right there." Kin said with everyone looking at the sound girl with confusion, as she seemed to be having an orgasm in the middle of a fight.
"YES! Right there Lee-kun, keep using that big tool of yours." She said as a far off look came to her eyes and her body move as if she was having sex right in the middle of the floor. Everyone could only stare at the sound girl in disgust, confusion, and enjoyment for some of the people. Naruto had somehow brought out a bag of popcorn and ate a few pieces along with Asuma and Kakashi taking some since he offered.
"Man such great cinema, I feel like I'm watching Icha Icha being acted out in front of my eyes." Kakashi said as he pulled down his mask to eat the popcorn, which the surrounding audience missed as they watched the girl continue her strange antics. Kin didn't care however, as her moaning came louder and louder with Lee-kun being mutter from her voice until the big one came and the scream of "LEE-KUN" could be heard all over the room. She then got down on her knees and feel unconscious from pleasure while muttering "Lee-kun" all throughout her period of being out of it, with a smile on her face that she received untold amounts of pleasures from sex. To say everyone was shocked was a complete understatement, as the girl seem to be getting pleasure through unseen sexual intercourse.
The guys all had smirks from seeing the live prono scene while the girls were muttering, "I'll have what she's having" under their breathe.
Lee soon felt the attention was on him, as he covered his eyes with his glasses "I'm sure your all wondering what I did. Well it all came from a term known as devilish charm. I used that term to create a Genjutsu that simulates the pleasure center in ones mind in order to make the body of the "victim" feel the full pleasure the person's mind is feeling. In short my Genjutsu gives a literal meaning to the term, mind fuck." Lee said with everyone looking shocked while Naruto himself smirked
The medics then came to pick up Kin's body but Lee stopped them "Don't bother, she'll awaken in three…two…one." He said with Kin's eyes opening and began to look around the area. Her eyes then landed on Lee, which made her squeal loudly before she ran up to the white haired teen and planted a huge kiss on the teen lips, which was returned to the black haired girl.
After thirty seconds passed, the two separated from each other and Lee walked back up to the stands with Kin closely behind. Lee then stood beside Naruto, who shook his hand and said "Congrats playboy" before the screen lit up and Naruto himself smirked at who was next
Gaara vs. Kinta Dosu
"This is going to get bloody." Naruto said to himself, though everyone around him heard it. Before anyone could question him, Gaara exploded into sand and reappeared on the floor, shocking everyone since they never saw a jutsu like that before. Dosu himself made it to the floor though he had a cocky look in his exposed eye
"You seem to hold the ability to control the sands, so lets see what's stronger your sand or my sound." He said with Gaara remaining silent with his hard look baring into the eye of Dosu "Besides your just stepping stone to the person I want to face, that white haired kid dressed in red. I'll be more then happy to take you down as a warm up." Dosu said pulling back his sleeve to reveal his amplifier
"You shouldn't tempt me when I'm like this. When my blood boil's mother is ready to feed." Gaara said before his cork popped out and sand began to leak out
"The eighth match between Sabaku no Gaara vs. Kinta Dosu…Hajime." He said with Dosu acting fast. He charged forward with his amplifier arm extended back. When he neared Gaara, he sent his fist forward, only to be shocked when he hit a sand wall, that erupted from the ground. Gaara then extended his right arm and the sand then wrapped itself around Dosu like a cocoon. Gaara then lifted his arm into the air calling out "Sand coffin"
The cocoon then floated in the air, due to Gaara's will, before the boy closed his hand calling "Sand Funeral"
The cocoon then compressed within itself and blood exploded from the sides of the cocoon that held Kinta Dosu "The Sand Funeral allows me to compress the air within it and increase the pressure before he died. In truth he died a painless death and his body shall be decomposed in the sand." Gaara said as he returned all the sand within his gourd and then walked away with Hayate declaring him the winner
Many people were just flat out silent, including the newly awakened Sakura and Ino who woke up from their respective slumbers. They couldn't believe the brutality that Gaara showed and his uncaringness on how he killed another human being. Naruto soon felt his smirk leave his face however as the next set of names were called for the next match. A match Naruto does not want to see
Hyuuga Neji vs. Hyuuga Hinata
Hinata gasped and looked at Naruto with a worried look on her face. Said boy was gripping the railing in front of him hard and grinding his teeth against each other. Hinata then grasped his face and gave him a soft kiss before reassuring him with a smile on her face. Kurenai watched her student in mild surprise and happiness that she had finally told the boy how she felt and no longer had help her get the confidence to try.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine Naruto-kun." She said with Naruto calming down before he nodded his head
"Just be careful Hinata-chan." He said before he kissed her again. The girl then walked down to the floor and the match began, but it soon turned to a fight that can only be from the result of inner clan turmoil. Neji started the match by berating Hinata and tried to knock down her self-esteem. It would have worked had Naruto not spoke to Hinata and helped her regain her confidence.
It would then become one of the best fights in the whole prelims as they fought using their clans Taijutsu style known as the gentle fist. The match would go on for a full three minutes with no one gaining the upper hand over the other until they both struck each other in the chest. A pregnant pause came over them both before Hinata coughed up blood. Everyone was confused until Neji revealed with and showed the girls arm
Hinata looked at her arm and gasped. Her whole arm was covered with red spots that went along her arm "I can't believe it, this whole time you were…," she was saying until Neji cut her off
"Yes, this entire time I've been attacking and closing your chakra points so you are no longer able to use chakra for the rest of this fight." He said before he swatted her away like a fly "I told you that you were weak and that fate is against you. In truth you never once stood a chance against me and you were destined to be defeated by me." Neji said as he turned to walk away but Hinata would shock everyone and stand back up.
Naruto was beginning to feel his anger grow within him, as a light sheen of Kyuubi's chakra began to appear around him with he himself taking on his no tail form. Neji himself was oblivious to all this as he was focused on Hinata
"Why do you defy fate Hinata-sama?" Neji asked with said girl smiling a little
"Because unlike you, I have someone that I want prove myself to and gain my strength from. To me fate means nothing compared to him." Hinata said which made Neji a little peeved "You have become to clouded by fate and your suffering for it. If you believe in it then your only being dishonest with yourself." She said setting Neji off his rocker.
"Shut up you bitch, I'm not the delusional one here as you already chosen your own fate." He said as he then charged at the girl with the full intent of killing her. He raised his right arm and sent out a right palm that connected but not to Hinata but to Naruto's back, who was holding Hinata close to him. That one thing made everyone go wide-eyed as they never even seen the boy move that fast or move period.
Neji himself was also shocked but not because Naruto took the shot, but the fact that the boy wasn't staggering or showing any fatigue from the hit itself. Naruto held Hinata close to him as she smiled at the boy
"Hey Naruto-kun, how did I do?" she asked with a trickle of blood trailing her cheek. Naruto would then wipe it off her face and would look at her with a small smile
"You did great Hinata, but your hurt." He said with Hinata coughing loud enough for everyone to hear. The jounin senseis would then appear in front of Neji should he try to attack Naruto and Hinata again. Kurenai herself looked towards her student with a sad look on her face, she didn't want her student to go through this type of turmoil but was happy that Naruto stepped in when he did and stopped from what looked like a killing blow.
"Hinata, I'm going to try to heal you but I haven't perfected the move yet, so there is a chance I could mess up a bit." He said with Hinata nodding
"Its okay Naruto-kun. If you can do it then I don't care about the repercussions." She said with Naruto smiling before he kissed her. It surprised everyone that he would do that in this kind of situation, but they soon discovered why, as Hinata glowed a bright white before the white surrounded her body and began to heal the wounds she sustained from Neji's assaults.
After two minutes, Naruto separated himself from a now unconscious Hinata and held her bridal style. The medics came with a moment to waste and took Hinata to the medical center. It was then that Naruto would expel the largest amount of killing intent he has ever produced and said killing intent was solely directed on Neji. Neji himself was now feeling truly scared of the boy as he slowly approached the white eyed teen
"You better pray to your almighty god or that fate of yours, because when you and I fight, YOUR ASS WILL BELONG TO THE DEVIL!" Naruto said with his voice turning demonic and his form changing for a brief moment until it returned to his regular form, but with gold chakra surrounding his body. His eye turned to the silted blood reds of Kyuubi's and glared straight into Neji's like he was peering into the boy's very soul. The white eyed boy quickly fled the area along with the jounin while Naruto remained where he was, his eyes never leaving Neji while Zaku arrived to the floor
Sparda Naruto vs. Abumi Zaku
"You know I was hoping that I would fight you, now I can pay you back for what you did to my arms." He said only for Naruto to direct his attention to Zaku and dawned a completely blank look on his face. Naruto said nothing, instead all he did was turn to Zaku and started to smirk at Zaku, which made the boy shuddered in fear. It was the smirk of demon, ready to pronce on his prey and massacre him.
He was going to kill something and Zaku couldn't have come at a better time
"I'm going to enjoy what I'm about to do to you within the next thirty seconds." Naruto said in a dark voice that was making everyone look on in fear.
"The final match Sparda Naruto vs. Abumi Zaku…Hajime." Hayate said as he jumped back, knowing that the white haired boy was in the mood to kill and he wasn't going to be near him while he did it
"Its payback time you bastard, Super slicer wa-" he was saying until Naruto vanished from sight and buried his fist in Zaku's gut, making the boy cough up blood before Naruto slammed his left fist into the sound gennin's face that sent the boy onto towards ground. Naruto then let loose a roar as he slammed his now clawed right palm onto Zaku's face, giving the oto shinobi slash marks over his face and his left eye.
Naruto then raised his right foot and slammed it into Zaku's lower back, making the boy cry out in pain. Naruto then grabbed Zaku's arms and with an ungodly roar ripped both appendages from the sound boys body. Zaku could only scream at the untold pain he now felt. Naruto quickly grabbed the boy by the back of his head and started to slam into the ground multiple times, the blood starting to appear with each slam he received until Naruto gave one final slam into the ground and caused a small pool of blood to form around the boys head.
However, Naruto still wasn't done, as he then grabbed Zaku by his neck and hoisted him in the air. He then held up his right hand and a gold energy sphere appeared in his hand, while he stared at Zaku, whose face was now covered with blood and some parts of his face caved, yet he was still alive. He looked at Naruto, whose hold around his neck was so strong that his lungs were filling up with blood, yet the white haired knew what he was asking
"I'm sure your wondering how you are still alive, well the answer is simple; I'm keeping you alive. I want you to feel this, to feel my torment, my pain, and my anger, all of it. You are going to be the sacrifice towards Hyuuga-teme, as he will see what's in store for him when we dance." He said as he held up his right hand and brought fourth a gold orb. Everyone stared in amazement of the attack the boy was using before Naruto spoke again "It's time to meet your oblivion, Solar Flare Rasengan" He called out as he slammed his orb into Zaku's stomach. A bright flash overtook the area as everyone covered their eyes from the light. When it cleared everyone looked to see Naruto standing tall with his head looking towards the ground, while Zaku was no where to be found only particles of ash floating in the air.
That was by far the most disturbing display of brutality anyone has ever witnessed within the exams, and it was more surprising to see Naruto do it. Hayate quickly shook his head before he called the victor.
"The winner of the final match Sparda Naruto." Hayate said with the boy turning his still blood red eyes towards Neji, who gulped at the amount of untold madness behind them but soon reassured himself that he had nothing to fear.
He shouldn't have to fear a new year gennin right?
AN: done and done. Glad to finally get this over with, now the next chapter is something that I'm unsure of what date it will come out, as I HAVE to go back to my other stories. I should have the next update within August but then again I wasn't sure if I would be updating this next.
Now then its time to grade this weeks manga. As you all know the grades go from I,F,D,C,B, and A
I: Kishimato giving no face time to Hinata. Why is it that the one character that has actual feelings for the main character is being shut out? Hinata needs to be involved more in the story as she has the best flexible character throughout the series. People are still fighting over Naruto getting with Sakura and Hinata while some are claiming that Sasuke will win Naruto (If you think that then you need to stop reading this manga). I'm a huge fan of Naruto/Hinata and a former fan of Naruto/Sakura, I want to see something actually concrete
F: Kishimato not including Naruto in this week's manga. Now I know that Naruto has gone from pimp to pussy in no less then ten chapters, but I actually now see what's smart behind Kishimato's choice. You see I remember a little super hero called Superman and the one thing he was known for was his inability to end a life. He spared the likes of Lex Luther, Dark Side, even Joker when they tangled once yet he never refused to fight. I can except Naruto willingness to end wars or meaningless deaths, but what I do want is for Naruto to stop trying to fulfill a promise that he shouldn't keep
D: Kishimato not including Sasuke in this week's manga. I am glad that he left the homo out, because I'm real tired of him and want to see what the other characters can do. Sasuke needs to be out of another arc or two before he can come back and final get the message through Naruto's head "I want to stay out here and away from Konoha."
C: Kishimato letting Sai set Sakura straight. This weeks manga featured Sakura actually getting the fact that Naruto loves her and something else to, that she's the reason why Naruto's a pussy. Sai told her that he believes that both Sasuke and Sakura cause him pain and I agree with him. Don't agree with me? then lets turn back the hands of time to lets say the beginning when Naruto was starting out. Always remember that Naruto drew strength and confidence from Sasuke, as he felt the need to always try to best him. And as for Sakura? Naruto just wanted to be loved by someone for real so he would try hard for her but would always end up short, kinda like the nice guy that gets friend zoned by the girl he wants to be with.
B: Kishimato revealing the names of the jinchuriki and giving me a reason to improve them. Now there are things that I like from Kishimato, mainly his thought process. I like the fact that he made something colossal and gave it a very well placed amount of uniqueness like Toriyama did for Dragon Ball Z, and in this case the nine vessels are no different. However what decreased the grade for this selection is the fact that He used the wrong Bijuu. Instead he used the four tailed monkey, the five tailed seahorse, the six tailed slug, the seven tailed beetle, and the eight tailed ox. I can grade him for being original but he should have just stuck to the legend
A: Kishimato making Danzo the leader of all the five nations. You know something odd about this whole thing is that I actually want to see more of Danzo's character being used, as he gives that true badass emotion needed in the cannon. Now if Danzo were to get killed off in this arc and say Naruto take his place? Tsunade returns from the grave and as acting Hokage? Or allowing Minato to return again wouldn't that make the story a bit better? we shall see soon enough
Now one thing is for sure and that is the fact that Hinata still has the leading standpoint amongst the pairing chart. I'm sure many of you have opinions on it, but the truth in the matter is that where there are fans there are haters. Hinata has by far the most in straight pairing wise as well action based stories, and she probably has the most haters in her pairing with Naruto. Think of it like you were a WWE fan, people love John Cena to the bone but there is also a substantial amount of haters as well. Another one is also Randy Orton, as people hate Randy Orton yet when ever he comes out, you here a good amount of cheers to.
Sakura does have an easier chance to get with Naruto, but Hinata does have a better standpoint in getting with Naruto. However the story is to deep in the action that the pairing would only hinder what Kishimato has planned, so I want everyone to wait it out and see what the man has in store for us all. And remember in a review
1) Tell me if you liked the chapter or not.
2) Tell me what you liked about the chapter or a scene you enjoyed
3) Tell me what you DIDN'T like about the chapter and what I wrote
4) Recommend a suitable improvement or give a recommendation.
Until Next Time
Peace
