Chapter 26: Chuunin exams- Arcana vs. Lee pt2

Now everyone had their minds blown, not one but two genin are able to access the eight inner gates, this is going to be a good fight.

"Kurai, how? I mean when did Arcana learn to open 1 of the 8 Gates!?" Genma asked in complete shock.

Kurai smirked, "He managed to open the first 1 a while back, but he was extremely exhausted, I tried it after a few days and got it too, but it's too draining for me too use."

"Wait, both of you can open the gates!?" Genma asked loudly, Kurai nodded.

"You two are nothing but trouble, I bet you weren't planning on telling anyone right?" Kurai nodded again, Genma sighed. Naruto of course asked about the eight gates and Genma explained, Aqua listened in too.

"Wow, Arcana-san and that bushy brows are really is cool!" Naruto beamed.

"You two and your secrets, I don't suppose you want to share how you learned how to use the 8 gates?" Genma asked, Kurai shook his head.

"Brat…"

"Arcana-san, you too can open the 8 inner gates?" Lee asked in surprise.

"A few." Arcana answered.

"Then let's fight our best Arcana-san!" Lee shouted determined his strength returning thanks to the gate of opening.

They clashed in a burst of speed, only the jonin were able to keep track of them though.

Kurai was watching intently 'They are fast, a want to use my sharingan but then all attention would fall on me…'

Arcana and Lee were not giving each other the upper hand and the fight seemed to be even.

The two jumped back after a while, "Arcana-san let's go all the way!" Lee began to open the second gate

"As you wish!"

"Gate of healing: open!" Both boys yelled in unison.

"Gate of life: open!"

"Gate of pain: open!"

"Gate of pain open!" The green aura the boys were emitting was glowing brightly

"How many gates can they open!?" Genma asked, this was amazing.

"Gate of limit: open!" this time it was Lee alone.

Guy walked over to Genma, "It seems your student is unable to open anymore, however being able to open 4 gates shows his youth!" Genma backed away a bit.

"So Arcana-san, 4 is your limit." Lee stated.

Arcana nodded.

"Very well, here a come!"

The battle resumed, the two clashed, Arcana did well but Lee clearly had the upper hand.

Lee was faster and able to deliver a barrage of fast deadly punches. Arcana was staggering and Lee kicked him in the gut sending him flying into the wall.

Arcana crashed into the wall and was stuck in it, he released himself from the wall still in gate mode and coughed up blood, 'My body is at its limit… His too fast.. and strong… and the gates are draining…' Arcana looked up at Lee, 'He beat me quite a bit, I'm seeing energy in the air…it's… coming to me… '

'It's so warm… this is my last stand.' What Arcana didn't know was that his eyes turned green, no one else really noticed as they thought it was part of the gates transformation.

Arcana dashed for Lee and Lee was taken aback, 'His faster!? But how?' Lee was interrupted from his thoughts as Arcana 'I'm at my limit, this is my last move.' Arcana grabbed hold of Lee's finger with his thumb and index finger while holding his pinky upward (see if you guys get this one).

"Oh you have got to be kidding me!" Kurai said. Arcana looked to him with a smirk.

"What's he going to do?" Genma asked but Kurai ignored him, "Arcana, don't tell me you're going to what I think you're going to do!"

"Yep, I figured this one out, skadoosh!" Everyone looked intently at Arcana waiting to see what he was planning to do. Arcana flexed his pinky and a brilliant, rippling shockwave was created, everyone covered their eyes.

…

…

When everyone looked to see the result of Arcana's attack they saw Arcana out of gates mode standing tiredly yet victorious over an unconscious Lee.

"Um… the winner is Arcana Okami." Hayate said after processing what happened.

Arcana then made his way to his team as paramedics came for Lee, 'That energy, it's gone, but I'm sure it helped me win…'

"Hey Arcana, well done, is Lee going to be alright though?" Kurai asked breaking his thoughts.

"What do you mean, what was that technique!?" Genma asked intently.

"The Wuxi finger hold, short story it sends the victim to the spirit world."

"WHAT!" Genma and Guy shouted.

"Guys relax, Lee will be fine." Arcana turned to Kurai, "I learnt to decrease the power to just make him unable to fight."

"Oh cool." Kurai said simply, Genma sweat dropped.

"Arcana-san you were so cool! Naruto cheered.

"Yeah, well done Arcana!" Aqua said with a smile.

"Thanks guys."

The last match was Choji and Dosu

Dosu won and Naruto was begging Arcana to teach him the Wuxi finger hold.

"Okay maggots, prelims are over, now all winners come down here and put your hand in this box."

Anko shouted to the genin, "Inside you will draw a number."

The Genin who won made their way down and started picking numbers.

"Does this determine our match ups?" Aqua asked.

"Why yes it does!" Anko said

Everyone took a ball and received a number.

"Okay brats what are your numbers, starting from the left."

"I got 8." said Dosu.

"I'm number 1 of course." Naruto cheered.

"5" said Kankuro.

"7" said Aqua.

"2" said Neji.

"6" said Shino.

"10" said Temari.

"9" said Shikamaru.

"3" said Gaara.

"12" Kurai said.

Arcana was last, he took a number and smirked at Kurai while showing his number, "I'm number 11.

"So Sasuke Uchiha is number 4." Anko said

"Now maggots, the finals will begin in one month." Anko said.

"One Month!" Naruto shouted.

"Yes maggot one month! A month for you to train and prepare for your opponent, anyway, this board shows your matches" Anko showed them a board.

Naruto vs. Neji, Naruto glared at Neji remembering what he did to Hinata.

Gaara vs. Sasuke, 'Yes, first the Uchiha will satisfy mother's blood lust.' Gaara then looked to Arcana, 'That Okami, he is strong, I will crush him as well.'

Kankuro vs. Shino

Aqua vs. Dosu

Shikamaru vs. Temari

And Finally Kurai vs. Arcana.

"It's on." Kurai said.

"Don't expect me to go easy on you boy." Arcana replied smugly

End

Done, what do you guys think, was I too shabby or was it good? Also what happened with Arcana will be explained. One more thing for you who don't know, the Wuxi finger holder is from Kung Fu Panda, its effect was explained in this chapter so you don't need to know about Kung Fu Panda, just know that Arcana has this move.
