Hello everyone! sorry for the wait, but I have been very busy with school and preparations, but anyway here is the chapter!
X Surgery X Truth X Sharingan?
"Get me the bandages! we need to do this quickly or both of them will die!" Tsunade was ordering every medic available to help her with Tenten's surgery, it was decided that she would do it while working on her heart, that way the risk of Tenten dying would be less, but it put Shiro's life on the line too.
-Flashback-
"There is a way to minimize the risk of the surgery but I need to do it during the blood exchange, the problem is... it would be dangerous for you Emiya, you would die if I do something wrong" said Tsunade with worry.
"It will be fine, I trust in you just as I trusted in Kushina, besides if I die my daughter still has the chance to live right? that is good enough to me" answered Shiro.
The sannin was a bit mad at him, Shiro tended to put other's life before his own, but this time he had a point, it was his daughter, maybe not biologically, but she was sure she would do the same for her own son.
"But..." the blonde couldn't say anything cause Shiro extended his hand.
"I bet you that tomorrow I will live and my daughter will be fine, if I die then you win, but if both me and my daughter make it through then you lose, I will give you half of my state if I lose, deal?"
What the hell was going through this man head? he wanted to bet on his life? wait a minute did he said half his state? "You got yourself a deal" said the blonde accepting his hand.
- End Flashback -
"I need a stitch! and give me a damn bottle of sake! if this man and his daughter dies I will be damn rich!" said the blonde finishing her job at the best she could, now the only thing they could do was wait.
X The next week - Finals X
It was finally the day, Hinata was not worried about her fight, she would definitely win and show his cousin that fate was only an excuse for the weak-willed.
She also had something to give him, the last memento that his father left and that Hiashi had denied him.
As the participants were called to the stadium, someone approached the group of genins, to Hinata´s displeasure it was him, Hiashi.
"I see you came back, I will properly punish you once everything is over, that is if you are not dead by then" he turned around to leave but was stopped by Hinata.
"You wish old man, the only thing happening today is going to be Neji's defeat, but don't worry Hiashi, after I finish with him you will go next" with that Hinata walked away leaving a speechless and very angry Hiashi.
Once on the stadium Hayate introduced the first match (I didn't feel like killing him, sue me!) and told everyone else to leave the battlefield.
"The first match will be between Hinata Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga!" When Hiashi heard Hinata´s last name he felt a tremendous amount of hate flow through his body.
"Hanabi, watch closely the win of your future husband, and the fall of that failure" said the man glaring at the stage.
Hanabi just looked at her sister with a smile "Come on sister! I know you can do it!"
Hiashi saw the excitement on his daughter "Why are you so happy? is not proper for a Hyuga"
Hanabi looked at her father with an apologetic smile "Sorry father, I was excited at seeing...Neji-sama!" Hiashi nodded and turned his attention to the upcoming battle again.
"You know the rules, AND NO KILLING!" this last he said looking at Hinata who only shrugged and got into stance.
"You are going to lose" said Neji getting into stance too.
"START!"
As Hayate gave the signal Neji and Hinata charged against each other, Neji tried to hit her vital parts but Hinata just dodged and launched her own strikes.
"You are better than before, but you are still a failure...You can't expect to win this!" Neji tried to hit her shoulder, Hinata used a Jyuken move to hit Neji's palm, blocking his attack.
"Is that all you got? come on dear cousin, make it more interesting, the better your moves the greater my victory will be" mocked Hinata.
"You want my best move? you are going to get it!" Neji got near her "Hakke!..."
Hinata saw what he intended to do and concentrated her Ice chakra "Hyoton Hakke!..."
"Rokuyo Junsho!" both attacks were released at the same time, but something was different on Hinata´s attack. Once they both finished Neji flinched at the pain on his hands.
"What the hell is this?" asked Neji seeing how his hands were now frozen.
"That is my own version of the Rokuyo Junsho, do you like it? I have other two but I wanted to show off this time" said Hinata smiling innocently.
"Don't go thinking so highly of yourself, you are going to lose, and after I'm done with you that blonde will be next! or should I kill him first instead? I know! how about this, I will let you crippled but conscious, that way I can kill that blonde with you watching" said Neji with a smirk.
Hinata went into shock, kill him? her Naruto? the one that had illuminated her world? no, no she wouldn't allow it, she would kill his entire clan first...
"hehe, you want to kill my Naruto-kun?"
Neji's smirk disappeared "Didn't you heard..." he couldn't continue as he was now being dragged through the floor, when he turned to see what was pulling him so hard he noticed a chain on his feet, but Hinata's hair had not changed.
The girl was giggling while her chains smashed Neji around the battlefield "Naruto-kun would never die against someone so blind like you, my Naruto-kun wouldn't die fighting against you"
The chains pinned him against a wall and started strangling him, Neji tried to fight back but it was useless, he would need to use his last resource "Hakke: Kaiten!"
"So you know how to use the Kaiten, it is a surprise, I didn't thought you would get free with something like that" said Hinata finally lifting her head to see her cousin.
Neji was a bit scared now, for some reason this Hinata was different from the one he knew, this one had actually a lot of strength and it was visibly obvious seeing how he was hurt and she was not even winded.
The look on her eyes was off, as if she was possessed by something "Neji nii-san, lets play a game" the smile on her lips was innocent but wrecked at the same time.
Hinata took one of her chains on her hands and stretched it and her hair turned red, Neji on the other hand was scared, just what kind of monster had he unleashed? no he couldn't think like that, Fate had already been decided and he was going to win.
"Let's see if your Kaiten can win against my Guardian Kaiten" She charged against Neji who started spinning to stop whatever she was going to use.
"Shugo Hakke! Kaiten!" Hinata started spinning but unlike Neji's defense, her's started to destroy the the ground under her feet, her extended chains widened the range, making it almost 2 times the size of the Kaiten that Neji was using.
Hiashi couldn't believe his eyes, the failure that he had condemned to die was besting the most notable member on the whole clan "How the hell is this happening" He stood and walked to the exit, to think that his nephew was a failure too, he would give Neji a detailed explanation of what happened when someone embarrassed the most powerful clan in Konoha.
Hanabi just smiled at her sister's strength thought she knew that the blonde boy shouting on the stands had something to do with it.
Neji felt his defense weaver and the rotation was getting slower, suddenly the force of Hinata's Shugo Kaiten destroyed his barrier and hit him with full force sending him flying, he was about to crash against the wall when Hinata caught him with her chains and got close to him.
"If you ever try to harm my Naruto-kun I will kill you, got it?"
The boy nodded before fainting, she slipped a paper on his clothes and let the boy fall to the ground, Hayate was about to say something but Hinata interrupted "He is alive, I just let him unconscious"
The sick ninja nodded slowly and nervously declared the winner "Hinata Uzumaki is the winner!"
Everyone cheered at the battle, it had been intense and they had seen a totally new Hinata wipe the floor with his cousin, the so called genius.
After the medics took Neji away Hayate announced the second fight
"The next match will be Gaara vs Haku!" both participants went to the battlefield.
"Let's have an honorable fight Gaara-san" said Haku while doing a slight reverence.
"Yeah let's give them a show" answered Gaara returning the reverence.
X Meanwhile X
The medics were attending Neji, he was exhausted after the fight against Hinata and it would probably take some time before he got better.
Hiashi entered the room to see the boy looking at the ceiling contemplating his lose "What happened there? How could you lost against that failure?" he was furious, oh how he wanted to punch the boy right this moment but there were a lot of witness on the room.
Neji looked at his uncle "Maybe she is not a failure as we believed, maybe she was only deceiving us"
"Don´t give me that pathetic excuse! once you go back to the compound we will "discuss" this matter more thoroughly" Hiashi turned and left the room.
Neji just cursed and turned around making the letter that Hinata had slipped fall on his bed "What is this?
Neji took the letter and started to read it, his eyes widened after recognizing the handwriting, this letter was from his father.
Once he finished reading it he held it on his chest, everything he knew was a lie, that man had lied to him and used him as a puppet for his own desires.
"I think a change is needed in my way to see the world, and I guess I really owe her an apology" said Neji closing his eyes and falling asleep.
X Hospital X
"How could you do something like that! are you aware that you made a bet on another life? and for money nonetheless!"
"Calm down Shizune! I know what I'm doing!" Tsunade argued with her disciple.
It had been a week and they hadn't opened their eyes "How can I when you did something so stupid as to bet money onto others lives! they could die you know!"
They couldn't continue because one of the medics rushed inside Tsunade´s office "Tsunade-sama! they opened their eyes! both of them!"
"I knew it" said the blonde Sannin smiling.
"What?" Shizune was confused at her master´s words.
"Shizune, you should know me enough to know that I don't win, that bastard knew it and did it on purpose" explained Tsunade pouting like a little child.
Shizune's baffled expression was priceless, she was having a hard time processing the fact that her master knew that her luck wouldn't allow her to win.
Once they reached Tenten's room they noticed the girl looking around "What happened?" she asked turning at Tsunade.
"You were out for almost a month, we had to make a surgery to save your life, but I don't know if there are going to be side effects" answered the Sannin.
"I see, where are my parents? are they ok?"
"Yes they had been very worried about you but you will see them later ok?"
Tenten nodded and thanked Tsunade for everything, the blonde medic left the room followed by Shizune
"Why didn't you said anything about her father?" asked Shizune
"Because she doesn't need to know, the last thing we need is her worrying and getting an unexpected side effect" said Tsunade walking into Shirou's room.
Shirou heard the door and turned to see Tsunade coming in "It seems that I won our little bet"
"Bastard... you did it on purpose, didn't you?" asked the Sannin.
"Well you ARE the legendary sucker, that only assured my victory, you can said that I cheated destiny with an already-known fact" answered Shirou with a cocky grin.
Tsunade left the room mumbling something about white haired bastards and cocky smartass attitude.
X Stadium X
Gaara and Haku were giving it their all, Haku used her sword to cut through Gaara´s sand, but the jinchuriki was not making it easy.
Haku tried to use her Hyoton to caught his feet, but he quickly replaced himself with a sand clone.
"Stay still!" said Haku sending another cold wave, but the redhead covered himself with his sand.
"Come on Haku-san, I know you can do better than this"
Gaara used a sand hand to catch her "Now you are mine!"
"Water Style! Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!" Haku tried to stop the sand, but something was off, the sand kept moving towards hers and caught her.
"This is not sand, is gold dust and allows me to fight against water users" explained Gaara
Haku was totally trapped and her water or ice style wouldn't work against him "I give up" said the girl with a cute pout.
"The winner of this match is Gaara!" everyone started cheering at the Suna nins that gave a good show.
"Now onto the next match, Sasuke Uchiha VS Naruto Uzumaki!" The whole stadium went silent, some whispers about the demon being defeated by the glorious clan Uchiha were heard among the spectators.
Naruto and Sasuke went to the arena and faced each other "You are going down dobe, remember those two years on the academy? you were always trying to win against me but you just kept losing, and this time is not going to be different, your girl will be mine by the end of the Chunin Exams, and I will make good use of her!"
"You really think that you are going to win, don't you? why is it? is it because you are an Uchiha?"
"Of course! my Sharingan is far superior than anything else on this world, I am an Elite!" said Sasuke showing a grin.
"Oh, but you know? you are not the only one with a Sharingan"
