* If you would like to see these fights then go to and see the episodes from Naruto 48, 49 and 50! I did my best to describe the fight I write to the best of my ability. These are one of my favorite fights. If you have never seen Naruto then please watch these three episodes to see this fight! It is an amazing fight!
I don't own Naruto!
Naruto then places his hand on blood where Hinata cough. "I promise…" He then closes his fist with her blood dripping from his hand. He turns to Neji and holds out the fist with blood on it to Neji. "I will win."
"If I don't avenge her I know that Naruto will." Yuki says.
I give both him and Naruto a reassuring smile.
They all return back on to the balcony as we await the next two people fighting.
"Hey Miz!" Yuki says to me with a cheerful grin. "Looks like that kid Chouji is in trouble."
"Why?" I say as I look at the kid Yuki is pointing at.
"Because all there is are strong kids left." Yuki says. He then points to the Sound village group "From his team, he seems like the strongest one." He then points to that Lee boy, "I heard from others that he can fight on equal ground against Sasuke." Yuki then points to Gaara, "And that Sand guy…well he is just dangerous you saw he how he almost killed us."
I couldn't help but agree with Yuki, I turn my attention back at Chouji and notice that he is starting to panic since he is realizing that he is in trouble. I see their sensei is walking over to Chouji and giving him some encouraging words.
The sensei says, "Don't worry. If things look bad, I'll stop the match like what I did with Hinata's match."
"Ha! That makes me laugh." Yuki says.
"What?" I say
"These senseis are so eager to stop matches just to save their little Genin. I know father wouldn't dare do that for us."
"Your right." I say with a chuckle. "If father ever saves us we better prepare to do intense training with broken bones or whatever is wrong with us."
Just then Chouji goes screaming, "Bar-b-q! Barbeque, here I come! All- you-can-eat!"
"Ha! That does sound pretty good Miz." Yuki says to me. "Would you care-"
"Look." I say while turning my head to Gaara. "He looks like he is ready to kill what ever gets in front of him."
Yuki then turns his head toward Gaara. "He looks like he is in a dangerous mood…"
I look toward Neji and as I look down the balcony I notice Naruto is not that far from him.
"I'll be back…" Yuki says as he walks away.
"Where in the hell do you think you are going?" I say to him
"Well, being your twin brother, I happen to know your interests…" he says while giving me a cheesy smile. "And I happen to know that you want to learn a little more about that Neji kid, but can't since that Naruto boy is pissed at you for killing his teammate, Sakura." He then turns his back towards me and begins to walk. "I will happily see what I can figure out…"
I then watch Yuki walk over to Naruto.
-Yuki's POV-
"Oy Naruto-kun!" I say as I walk over to Naruto. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your teammates?"
He looks up at me. He then gives me a dirty look as he says, "It doesn't matter to you… Shouldn't you be with your teammate?" He says with a rude undertone.
"Heh. It doesn't matter to you now does it?" I look at the other balcony and give Mizuki a reassuring look and then back at Naruto. 'I can't fail now!' "His name is Neji Hyuuga, right? From the looks of that match, it seems that he hasn't used all of his powers. So… what kind of guy is he?" I say trying to get information.
Naruto then dramatically turns around and throws a fist in the air as he says, "I'll beat him!"
"That is not what I asked you…" I then look at Naruto and see that he truly believes what he says. "You're an interesting guy. I like you." I say with a smile.
"You're not interesting. I don't like you." He says with a rude tone.
'He is pretty funny. Miz will have a field day with this little brat. I can't wait till the day I fight him and see what he really is made of.'
"That's not true." I say with a smile. "I know you like me. You remind me of me."
Naruto then gives me a small smile.
Just then the matches are going to be starting up again.
"See you later, Naruto." I say as I quickly do a hand sign and poof next to Mizuki
-Mizuki's POV-
My attention left Yuki for a second when Hayate says the battles will continue. Just then Yuki appears right next to me. "You never get tired of that, do you?"
"Nope." He says with a grin.
"Did you get anything out of him?" I ask.
"Not a thing…" Yuki says with a sigh, "The only thing he was concentrating on is that he will defeat Neji."
"You tried."
We all look up at the board and see the names being shuffled around. I look at Gaara and I see all this sand circling around him and then the sand goes to the middle of the floor revealing him in the middle of it.
"That is an awesome trick that I want to learn!" Yuki says.
"Hurry up and come down." Gaara says.
"Safe!" Chouji yells out.
I look at the board and see that it says Gaara vs Lee Rock. I look back at Lee and see that he is starting to warm up with some kicks.
"You fell for it!" He says, "If I say that I want to be last, that doesn't happen. A rock thrown at a pole will not hit, but if you throw without aiming at the pole, it will hit. That was the law I used!"
"That's my student!" his sensei says.
"I do not want to be last!" Lee says as he throws some kicks. "I was able to trick them."
"Let me give you some nice advice." His sensei tells him. "No one has noticed yet, but that gourd is suspicious."
Lee then jumps down off the balcony like Yuki and I had done.
"Miz lets activate our Vinnigan, I have a feeling we will get some good moves we can use later." Yuki says as his eyes reveal the Vinnigan.
I nod and as I blink my Vinnigan is activated.
I look down at the battle field as I watch Lee take his fighting stance. "I'm very happy that I can fight you so early."
Just then Lee caught the top of Gaara's gourd.
"This kid is fast, Yuki. If we can master this speed we will be in good hands."
"Now, let the ninth match begin." Hayate says.
Lee then runs toward Gaara. When he gets close enough he jumps in the air as he yells, "Konoha whirlwind!"
When the kick was about to land right on Gaara's face, sand came a blocked it like a wall stopping lees kick. As lee landed the sand came pouring down on him, but he quickly did a backflip to get out of the way. When he landed he watched as the sand returned back into the gourd.
Lee then ran toward Gaara while at the same time the sand came coming out. With every kick lee throws whether it be a jumping kick, roundhouse, or a regular fast one it was always blocked by the sand. The sand then came to attack Lee, but Lee grabbed a Kunai and cut through the sand keeping it away from him. The sand then began to chase after Lee causing Lee to retreat from Gaara. Lee jumped into the air and tried throwing Shurikin at Gaara, but the sand blocked it. While also this is happening, Gaara hasn't moved from his spot or even lifted a finger.
Everyone is confused at what is going on. I then hear Gaara's brother say, "Physical attacks have no effect on him. Regardless of Gaara's will, the sand will shield and protect him. That's why no one has ever hurt Gaara."
I look back at Lee and I see he is trying to figure out a way to get close to Gaara and attack him.
"Is that it?" Gaara says. "Let me enjoy this a little more. There isn't enough blood." Gaara says with death in his eyes. With that the sand quickly hovers toward Lee. Lee tried jumping over it but the sand grabbed his foot, pulling him back and it flung him to a wall. The sand then went to hit him, but Lee quickly recovered and moved out of the way. He then ran towards Gaara attempting to punch him. However, with every punch and kick the sand only blocked it. The sand then came like giant hand waves trying to grab Lee but he kept dodging them using backward handstand/flips. The sand then went under his feet causing him to fall. As he was falling the sand came in from above. He quickly jumped and dodged it landing on the giant statue in the room.
Lee's sensei real loudly says, "Lee, take them off!"
We all look at Lee. As he says, "But, Gai-Sensei, I thought that was only permitted when protecting many important people."
"I don't care! I will allow it!" Gai says.
Lee then starts laughing as he sits down and begins to remove his leg warmers revealing heavy weights on his legs. As Lee holds the weights in each hand he says, "All right! I can move easier now!" he then drops the weights. When they hit the floor they caused a huge explosion. Everyone was shocked.
"Those weights were heavy!" Yuki says in shock.
"No kidding!" I reply back.
"I should train with those!" Yuki says
"I think that would be a bad idea, Yuki"
"But it wouldn't be that bad."
"You won't be able to go anywhere because they're so heavy." I say back to him.
Lee then jumps and he is so fast that we couldn't even see him move. I look at Gaara and I see that he is surprised too. Lee was moving at such a fast rate that even the sand was having trouble keeping up with him. Lee kept running around Gaara looking for a weak spot while also attacking the sand. He then jumped up and kicked Gaara right in the head. He left a scratch on Gaara's face. Lee then ran straight for Gaara and Gaara looks pissed so he used the sand to try and attack lee but Lee is way too fast for him. Lee manages to punch Gaara again in the face.
I look around and I see that Gaara's siblings are freaking out and everyone else is rooting for Lee.
"Thank god I am using my Vinnigan. I am going to master this speed!" Yuki says.
Gaara slowly stands as the sand come pouring out of his gourd. Sand then begins to fall from his face. He had sand covering his entire body. He is also looking a lee with excitement. Gaara then clams down as the sand forms his body armor again.
"Is that all you got?" Gaara says.
Lee begins to unwrap the bandages from his hands. He then runs at a high speed around Gaara. He circles Gaara.
"Hurry up and come." Gaara says calmly.
"As you wish." Lee says. He then kicks Gaara right under the chin causing Gaara to be thrown high up into the air. He continues to kick Gaara high into the air until he is at an acceptable height. Lee then turns and ties Gaara with the bandages on his arms. Lee grabs Gaara and begins to spin both of their bodies at a high speed. "Secondary Lotus!" Lee shouts as he slams Gaara into the ground head first.
Everyone is in shock at what just happened.
"Dang I hope that Lee kid is ok." Yuki whispers to me.
"I hope so too…."
Lee then jumps down and is breathing heavily. As the dust clears we can see Gaara in the whole. Just then as everyone is curious to whether Gaara died or not, his body begins to crack and fall apart. It was revealed that what was in the hole was a shell made out of sand. Gaara then revealed himself right behind Lee in a shield of sand. Gaara had death in his eyes and he made a hand sign that made the sand go in all different directions. The sand then ran straight toward Lee, knocking him over to the ground. Lee was struggling now. He slowly stood up.
"This is getting good, Miz." Yuki tells me as he watches the battle closely. "I hope I can get my hands on some sand so I can try this out."
"Yuki, the sand is moving on its own other than when he uses a hand sign. Because of that, we are unable to copy all of his movements." I say to him while watching Gaara.
"But I could still master most of it…"
I turn my attention back to Lee and Gaara and I noticed that Lee fell to the ground. His legs are shaking and he is unable to move. Gaara's eyes are happy and deadly he holds up another hand sign and all the sand begins to go crazy. The sand then moves high above Gaara creating a sand wave heading straight for Lee. Lee had no energy to run and the sand grabs him and throws him straight into a wall. Gaara then has his sand continue to throw Lee against the wall.
"Lee can barely move now." Yuki says.
"I know." I say as I continue to watch the fight. "It seems Gaara is only playing with him now."
As the sand comes back to Gaara, a way from Lee, Lee is against the wall trying his best to stay standing. The sand comes back to hit him and Lee does his best to continue to dodge the attacks with flips and cart wheels. Gaara then stands straight up and holds up a hand sign. Gaara continues to control the sand to keep throwing Lee against the wall and floor. Lee manages to get free of the sand and continues to run as the Sand hits the ground hard right behind him. Lee ends up falling and Gaara has his sand come from behind him and attack Lee throwing him towards the ground.
"So useless…" Gaara says as he has the sand create a giant claw like hand to attack Lee with. He continues to force the sand to attack Lee.
As Lee stands there preparing himself for the next attack, Gaara has the sand circle around him at a very dangerous and teasing speed. As the sand goes up and dives down to attack Lee, Lee stands straight up and dodges the attack with ease.
Lee stands up straight and gets in a fighting position rather than his defensive one. Gaara continues to have his sand attack Lee, but with every attack Lee easily dodges.
"Yuki lets go to the other side. I believe we can get more information about the leaf brats on that side." I say to Yuki as I poof to the other side.
I poof a foot away from Gai and a few seconds later Yuki poofs in right next to me.
"Hmm… so he is laughing, even when he's cornered." Yuki says while watching Lee
"We will corner him now." Gai says. "The Lotus in Konoha blooms twice."
"Bloom twice?" I say. I then remember that Lee had said that once when we first met him.
"Gai, who did you…!" Kakashi says in fear.
"It's just as you suspect." Gai says.
"So that boy, a Genin…" Kakashi says. "Is capable of opening inner gates of the Eight Gates? And using the Primary Lotus?"
"That's correct." Gai responds while looking at the ground.
"What a disaster…" Kakashi says. "Gai, how many gates is that boy capable of opening?"
"Five." Gai says.
"Eight Gates and Primary Lotus?" Yuki says in confusion while looking at Gai and Kakashi. He clearly was looking for an explanation and so was I.
"The Eight Gates Manipulation is a preparation of taking limiters off to use Primary Lotus." Gai says.
"Huh?" Yuki says.
Kakashi then turns toward the battle moving up his headband from his eye revealing a Sharingan. 'So he has one too…'
"That's correct" Kakashi says. "In the Chakra circulatory system there are gates in each part of the body. From the top they are: Open Gate, Energy Gate, life Gate, Wound Gate, Forest Gate, View Gate, Insanity Gate, and Death Gate. Those are the eight places in the body where Chakra holes are concentrated at. These are known as the Eight Gates. These eight gates constantly control the Chakra that flows in your body. But Lotus unfastens those controls with force and grants the user more than ten times more power. That is its power source." Kakashi says.
"Secondary Lotus is a move that opens the first gate, the Open gate." Gai says. "It unfastens the control of the brain, and enables a person to use his muscles at their limits."
"And the Primary Lotus?" Yuki asks.
"It opens the second gate, the Energy Gate, and increases one's strength forcefully after opening the third gate, The Life Gate, the Primary Lotus is carried out." Gai says while looking at Yuki and me.
"He is already worn out by the Secondary Lotus and if he does something more straining…" Yuki says.
"Yes." Kakashi says, "By opening all eight gates you are able to gain temporary powers greater than a Hokage, but that person will die."
"WHAT?!" Yuki and I say in unison for that fact we were copying all these moves.
"I have no intention of prying into what that boy is to you, and I won't tell you to leave personal affairs out of this, but there's such a thing as a limit." Kakashi says to Gai. "I've lost faith in you, Gai."
"What do you know about him?" Gai challenges. "He has something important that he must protect and prove to everyone, even if it means his own death. That is why I wanted to make him into a man who could hold to those words. That is all. "
When I turned my attention back to Lee I noticed that the air around him is starting to change.
"I don't know what you're trying to do, but you're going to be finished here." Gaara says as he holds up a hand sign.
"Yes." Lee says "Either way, the next move will end everything. I cannot be the only one who loses here!" With that a ton of blue Chakra just surrounds Lee. His hair is flying all over the place, his skin is darker and he looks pissed. As I look around everyone is surprised, but what they just saw. Lee opened the third gate.
"Look at the color of his body, Miz." Yuki says to me
"The fuck…" I say in reply
"Now for the fourth gate, the wound gate… Open!" Lee yells.
"What a guy..." Kakashi says
Once Lee opened the fourth Gate he ran straight for Gaara kicking him under the chin straight for the air. With Lee's strength and speed there is rocks and dust going everywhere and it is hard to see what the hell is going on. When the dust clears we see Gaara high in the air but lee is nowhere to be seen. The sand is having a hard time keeping up with Lee, but this time it CAN'T keep up with Lee's speed. As I look closer at Gaara I noticed that his armor of sand is starting to break off.
Lee then suddenly appears right above Gaara and kicks him straight to the ground using a high speed and strength. Right before Gaara lands on the ground Lee comes and kicks him into the air again. He begins to kick Gaara around in the air and as he goes to do that last punch he opens the fifth gate. As he punches Gaara he holds onto him by using a bandage attacked to his arm. He pulls Gaara up using the bandage and punches and kicks him straight the ground while screaming, "Primary Lotus!"
Lee then falls to the ground in a lot of pain. As the dust begins to clear we see that Gaara protected himself by turning his gourd into sand and guarded himself. While lying on the ground Gaara holds up his hand and sends his sand toward Lee. The sand then starts to travel towards Lee, but Lee is in no potion to be dodging.
As I watch the sand I noticed that it is a move I have seen before.
"Mizuki…" Yuki says in panic next to me. "Isn't that move the Desert Coffin?"
"Yes… I believe it is." I say in the same panic voice.
Both Yuki and I tense up, for we both know what is about to happen.
I watch as the sand then grabs Lee's leg and arm. Gaara then says, "Desert Coffin!" and closes his hand in a fist as the sand crushes Lee's leg and arm. More sand comes, this time it is aiming for his whole body. Quickly Gai comes in and saves Lee. He stops Gaara attack.
Both Yuki and I relax a little bit. "Man that battle was intense." I say to Yuki.
"I thought you were cold hearted when you came to your fights." Yuki says to me.
As I look into Gaara's eyes I see that he is heart broken in the fact that he couldn't finish his kill.
"Why..." Gaara says as he holds his head. "Why did you help him…?"
"He's..." Gai starts off. "He's an important subordinate I love."
Gaara slowly stands up and on his back the gourd repairs itself. He then walks away from Gai and Lee while saying, "I quit."
"He quit?" Yuki says.
"The moment Gai went down there, Lee lost." Kakashi said.
"Winner, Gaa…" Hayate begin to say when Lee stands up, his leg and arm are bleeding badly.
"This can't be!" Gai says as he turns around and looks at Lee.
"He opened those five gates, his arm AND his leg is crushed! This boy shouldn't be able to stand!" Yuki says as he stares at Lee.
Gai walks up to Lee and grabs his shoulders as he says. "Lee it's okay. It's over. You shouldn't stand up…" Gai begins to cry when he looks at Lee.
When I looked into this boy's eyes I saw nothing. He looks like he has been defeated, his soul was taken away. As I continue to look at Lee I notice that he is not conscious.
Gai continues to speak to Lee as he brings him in for a hug.
"Winner, Gaara." Hayate says as he points to Gaara.
I look at Naruto and I see that he is pissed off. He looks angrier than when I had killed his precious Sakura. He then jumps over the railing and runs toward Lee, but gives Gaara a cold long stair as he passes him. Naruto stands next to Gai as the Medical Team check Lee. One of the medical guys looks at Gai with a worried look.
"Are you the Jounin in charge of the boy?" The medical guy asks.
"Yes" Gai responds.
"This way please." The medical guy says.
The medical guy and Gai walk away while the other two medical guys load Lee in the stretcher and take Lee away.
"It is going to take a long time for Lee to recover from an injury like that." I say quietly to Yuki.
"With that Gaara brat did to his left leg and arm, I would doubt if he becomes a ninja again." Yuki says back.
Gai walks up to Lee as the medical team lift him, and he begins to cry. Even Naruto began to cry and freak out a little.
"What's the Fuzzy Eyebrows supposed to do if he's told that?!" Naruto yells at the medical team. "He said that a dropout was going to defeat a genius through hard work! Can't something be done?!" Naruto was about to keep screaming when Kakashi appeared behind him holding him back and covering his mouth. "Calm down Naruto." Kakashi said.
Naruto moves Kakashi's hand from his mouth as he said, "But… Kakashi sensei… He wanted to fight Neji and Sasuke so badly."
"That may have caused this unfortunate incident." Kakashi says. "To make those wishes come true, he used a self-damaging forbidden technique to try and win. And that is the result. He tried to abide by the wordless promise that he made with Sasuke, Neji-kun, and you, Naruto. He desperately tried to head for the stage so he could fight you guys. Don't forget that."
"So he won't be able to fight again…" Yuki says with sadness.
"Why do you care?" I say
"Because he was a ninja who could only use Taijutsu and he wanted to be an amazing ninja." Yuki says. "After seeing this battle I wanted to fight Lee too."
"Yeah… I can agree." I say as the medical team takes Lee away. "I would want to fight him too."
Gaara then used his sand to appear next to his sister. When I looked back at Gai I noticed that he was turned away from where the Medical Team took Lee. Kakashi also turned around to look at Gai. Kakashi then walks over to Gai.
"Gai." Kakashi says. "I was kind of being preachy up there, but after thinking about it. If I were in your position, I would have done the same thing. Gai, you're in the way for the next match. Come on, let's go back up."
"Okay." Gai says with a depressed voice.
All three of them make their ways back up to the balcony and Hayate stands in the middle as he says, "The 10th and final match. Fighters step up. Kinuta Dosu vs. Chouji Akimichi. 10th match begin!"
