Authors Notes: I want to apologize to everyone for leaving all of you hanging with such a cliffhanger but FINALLY HERE IT IS the match between Naruto and Hayate enjoy.

Helena's mansion

Helena was having a cup of coffee in her favorite spot of her mansion which was in the balcony, she was still in deep thought about Felipe the man whom she admitted has capture her heart. But the thought was still invading her mind was he really a spy send by Donovan to kill her she remember when they first meet at the beginning of the tournament he has really open up to her making her believe that it could be true. The only doubt that was filling her mind was if Felipe was really an assassin send by the same man who killed her parents hasn't kill her yet perhaps he was buying his time waiting for the right time to make his move, she remember Christie doing the exact thing when she decided to told her the truth at the third tournament when she fought her and defeated her failing in her mission.

She took a sip from her cup and decided to forget about the matter and only focus on relaxing and enjoy the beautiful view of the city in front of her. She suddenly heard a knock on her door and she left to get it ever since the incident with Christie she hasn't contracted no one to be her servant since she couldn't trust no one, as she reach the door she felt a horrible feeling she ignore it and open the door. When she open the door she gasp seeing the last person she wanted to meet she was staring at the white hair assassin Christie who only gave her one of her usual glares, she quickly closed the door but the assassin stop her by putting her foot on the door preventing her from closing it.

"Relax I didn't came here to kill you" she said in a rare cool tone.

To say that she was surprised to hear that but she didn't believe her.

"Then I'm guessing you came here to have a cup of coffee with me" Helena said in a very sarcastic tone.

"Funny" Christie said without chuckling or smiling" I just came to let you know that I quit my job in killing you so you're safe I got a better target than you"

Helena was still staring at her with a bewilder look" so you just quit working for Donovan?"

"Why yes someone call me with a new assignment and I have accomplish it……Donovan is dead"

Helena's eyes widened did she heard right or was Christie pulling a fast one on her wait this is Christie that were talking about the cold heartless assassin there is no chance in hell that she will make a joke about this or even tell a lie about it. However she has known the assassin for a while now and telling her such information could only mean one thing she wanted something in return, she look at her with a very serious expression while she stood still and calm like nothing has happen.

"What do you want Christie?" she said in a cold tone.

"Nothing I just wanted to let you know that's all" she said in her usual tone.

Helena chuckle" so you decided to take the role of friend and tell me that the man I have hated in my entire life is dead thank you Christie for doing me the favor what do you want me to express my thanks should I sing you a thank you song?" she said again in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh no please don't I hate your singing" she said in a disgusted tone while Helena was glaring daggers at her.

"Christie if you're business is done here then I suggest you leave immediately" Helena said while glaring at her.

"No problem but one more thing"

Helena gave her an annoyed look when she saw Christie talking a white envelope from her black jacket.

"Before I kill Donovan I took a few pictures with the last person he meet which is someone who is working with him here you can keep them I don't need them" she handed her the envelope.

Helena was confuse but she took the envelope" what is it that you want Christie?"

"I want you to learn a lesson in life never trust no one ever again" she then left heading to her black Viper and driving off without regret.

She closed the door behind her while looking at the envelope.

(That was rather disturbing)

Looking at the envelope she didn't know why Christie would give her this but suddenly curiosity was getting the better of her, she slowly opened the envelope and took the pictures. Once she saw the pictures she was shock she suddenly felt different emotions anger, sadness, betrayal and heartbreak, she slowly went on her knees and let the silent tears fell from her eyes now she knew what Christie meant about not trusting no one ever again.

(Why….why does fate has to be so cruel?)

Forest region

"For my clan"

"For my friends"

The group was watching the match with in awe they have completely forgotten what surrounded them especially Sasuke he was watching a very intense match knowing his friend strength this was going to be a long match. Kasumi was only paying attention to her brother and her blond crush she was worry for both of them she didn't wanted any of them to get seriously hurt but she knew deep inside this was a match that couldn't be avoided especially when Naruto held a grudge with her brother. Suddenly from the dark sky came the rain hitting the forest it was a hard rain making it almost impossible to see someone clearly, the four ninjas watching the match let themselves get wet for all they know they didn't care if they get pneumonia this was a match worth watching to the very end. The announcer and the camera crew got prepare for the big storm as they took their umbrellas while the four ninjas sweat dropped at their action looks like they were looking forward to a rainy day. The loud shriek of thunder was heard as the two ninjas continued to battle it out in the rain like the four ninjas they didn't care if they catch of cold from getting wet they fought like their lives were on the line.

Naruto launch a fist at Hayate which he dodge but he got hit by a high kick from the blond he then punch him to the ground, Hayate counter with a low kick knocking the blond out of balance he landed on his feet and doge another kick from Hayate and he counter with a fist hitting his jaw. Hayate charge at him with a couple of punches but the blond dodge them and counter with an uppercut hitting his jaw, Naruto did a barrage a punches and kicks which Hayate dodge and block but the attacks seem endless and he got hit a couple of times before the blond kick his face sending him flying but he landed on his feet. Hayate was getting a little inpatient he charge again and punch his face he used an upward kick he dodge it and attack him in the air with a punch and a kick sending back to the ground he landed on his feet looking rather upset. Naruto charge at him with another barrage of attacks he dodge them but he couldn't avoid all of them he got hit by a couple of kicks and a punch to his face, the blond charge at him with a fast Hayate block it and counter with a kick which made contact sending Naruto a few feet away but he landed on his feet both stood calm for a moment while panting this was a tough fight.

(I knew he was holding back when he fought Zack and Tina but this he's really strong maybe he's holding back on me too)

Kasumi continued to watch the two ninjas fighting like their lives were at stake her gaze fell at the blond ninja who was fighting like a fierce warrior showing no fear. She remember when he fought Zack and Tina he was holding back but now she didn't know if he was still holding back on her brother so he didn't hurt him too much remembering that he promised her he wouldn't kill him. She saw the courage and determination reflected in Naruto's blue eyes she didn't know why he was so determined to win the match maybe he wanted to win the tournament so badly was that it, no that wasn't Naruto at all she has known the blond as a caring person who always made his friends his top priority. She continued watching him fighting with a will of iron even with his determination for his friends she still didn't know why he was doing this.

"Why?" Kasumi said getting the attention of the other three ninjas" why is Narutosan so determined to beat my brother?"

"I think you should know why Kasumi he's fighting for you" Sasuke said.

"That's right Naruto wants to help you and this is how far he is willing to go to help his friends" Sakura said with a smile.

Kasumi was silent but she gasp remembering what he said before the match began.

(If I win you will stop hunting Kasumichan)

Kasumi felt silent tears fall from her eyes while she smile at the blond who was fighting for her freedom she felt her heart skip a beat she knew Naruto was a true friend and someone she will love for the rest of her life. She dry her tears knowing that Naruto will get worry if he sees her crying so instead she smile while looking at the blond fighting for her, she watch him with admiration knowing that he was doing this to save her from been a runaway ninja she remembers the big promised he made to her back at the tournament welcome party.

(I promised you Kasumichan I will saved you from your fate as a missing nin)

She blush while smiling at the blond (you can do it Narutosan I believe in you)

The two ninjas have been going at it for an hour as the hard rain continues to fall they were fighting like wild animals with the purpose of survival giving the meaning of survival of the strongest. But to the two of them this match was more than just a regular match in order to advance to the next round this match was far more serious that anyone could ever imagine. For Hayate the honor of the Mugen Tenshin clan was at stake in this match because he gave his word to Naruto that if he loses he won't try to kill his sister for the act of treason that's why for obeying the rules of the clan he was going to win. For Naruto this match Kasumi's freedom and life was at stake in this match and there was no chance in hell that he was going to lose and besides he already have the kunoichi his word that he was going to save her and his word was ninja way never to back it down.

Hayate punch Naruto while Naruto kick his chin he launch a fist at him but he dodge it and counter with his own fist hitting the blond and he landed on his feet. Fatigue was catching up with Hayate but he wasn't going to let that stop him he charge at the blond with a barrage of kicks but he dodge every single one he counter with an uppercut follow by a powerful kick sending him all the way to the waterfall and the river. He ran towards the river next to the waterfall and charge at him while running in the water while Hayate was standing in the water he saw the attack and block it, he counter with his upward flying kick while Naruto landed on his feet. Hayate charge at him and launch an uppercut on the blond sending him in the air Hayate charge at him and used his combo throw Raijin, the group gasp seeing especially Kasumi, Ayane and Ryu they know that Raijin is one of Hayate's strongest throws. Hayate's Raijin was effective on Naruto and once he perform the last attack Naruto fell on the river, Kasumi was seriously worry for the blond she thought the worst has happen but Sasuke and Sakura were calm they knew Naruto better than anyone and he wasn't going to be taken out THAT easily.

Hayate stood on the water looking at the bottom checking if the blond was coming out, once he saw that there was no movement in the water at all he turn to leave he has won the match.

(It's over)

As he turn his back from the waterfall there was a huge splash shocking him when he look behind him he saw Naruto charging at him launching a powerful fist which made contact with him since he caught off guard. The attack was so strong that Hayate cough some blood, the blond ninja punch him again on his face and grab him by his collar of his ninja uniform while giving him a pissed off look.

"Why…..why do you want to kill Kasumichan?"

Hayate cough more blood" you should already know that by now" he punched the blond releasing him he launch another punch but Naruto caught it.

"Hayate don't do this killing her is not the only way" Naruto said sounding worry.

"Yes it is those are the rules the prize for traitors is death I must obey them"

He launched a kick but Naruto block it and counter with a punch to his stomach coughing more blood, Hayate punch him on his face follow by his stomach and he was bleeding too they were both beat up.

Naruto punch him again and grab his collar for the second time" no there is another way to saved her without sacrificing her life"

"Shut up the only way is death"

Naruto gave him a head butt hitting his head both Sasuke and Sakura have to smirk they always knew he was hardheaded to hit another head.

"You are starting to sound like a broken record Kasumichan told me you are a good person please show me that you are one"

Naruto look into Hayate's eyes and he could see the sadness the pain reflected in them it's like he was bottling up all those emotions inside of him he grin while holding him.

"You are lying deep inside you don't want to kill Kasumichan and it's killing you on the inside like a disease eating slowly through your insides"

Hayate broke free from his hold and punch him follow by a kick he then grab Naruto by his collar now while glaring at him.

"I will obey the rules without exception and as the leader of the Mugen Tenshin clan it's my top priority TO OBEY THE RULES"

Naruto growl" so your making your top priority to obey the rules rather than to find a way to save Kasumichan"

"Yes" Hayate said hesitating a little.

"You're lying you are still confused what to do"

Hayate growl he launch a fist but Naruto caught it and counter with his own fist hitting Hayate he then kick him and charge at him while grabbing his collar for the third time.

"Well Hayate if you don't know what to do then I will make you chose it's time to choose your clan or Kasumichan YOUR BLOOD OR YOURHONOR"

"Fool I have already chosen"

"WRONG you're still struggling what to choose if you loved Kasumicha you know what the right choice is"

Hayate broke free again and punch Naruto on his stomach he used a couple of kicks but he dodge them and he kick him high in the air, he kick him three times follow by a fourth kick sending him at the bottom of the water.

"UZUMAKI NARUTO COMBO'

Naruto stood on the water waiting for Hayate to come out he knew he wasn't down for the count until he saw him coming from the water looking beat with bruises and blood on the side of his lips. Hayate gaze at the blond ninja with shock he didn't look beat he had a couple of bruises and some blood but they weren't serious injuries, he couldn't believe it they have been fighting for almost hour and half and he's still doesn't look exhausted.

(How strong are you Uzumaki Naruto?)

He saw Naruto charging at him with the same speed but this time he was prepared for him they both grab their hands testing their strength finding out who was the weaker one while the rain continued to fall and the thunder shriek got even louder. Hayate glare at the blond with so much anger here he was telling him to disobey the clan rules just to save the traitor he tighten his grip on the blond while Naruto was tightening his grip on him as well.

"I don't care what you say the traitor will DIE" Hayate said with anger.

Naruto growl" even if that traitor is YOUR OWN SISTER"

"SHE KNEW VERY WELL THE CONSEQUENCES OF HER OWN ACTIONS BY LEAVING THE VILLAGE SHE KNEW SHE WILL BECOME AN EXILE NINJA SHE HAD IT COMING IT WAS HER CHOICE ALONE"

Naruto was pissed the Kyubi's features have appeared again he out power Hayate on strength and punch his face twice he grab him by his collar yet again glaring at him. Hayate saw he was been glare by the same red eyes when he was about to kill Kasumi in his match with her he knew those were the eyes of the Kyubi influencing Naruto fueled by his anger although it was scary he wasn't intimidated by looking into those bloody eyes.

"It's time I knock some sense into you Hayate and you will listen whether you like it or not are you willing to forsaken the life of your own sister just to obey some stupid clan rule, are you willing TO KILL YOUR FAMILLY" he growl with rage.

Hayate stood quiet letting the information he just receive from the blond jinchurikki sink into his mind, he then gaze where the other ninjas were especially his sister and he felt his heart aching. Kasumi had tears in her eyes how he hated to see her cry or when she was sad he hated to see her like that's why he was always trying to make her happy, just seeing a smile from her made him the happiest brother in the world. As the rain continues to fall he gaze at the sky and suddenly he remember a memory from the past with his beloved sister.

(Flashback to the Mugen Tenshin village clan compound twelve years ago)

Eleven year old Hayate was having a spar with his younger sister Kasumi who was only six years old since in the Mugen Tenshin clan the children begin their ninja training when they turn five, they were practicing the Mugen Tenshin style taijutsu which was a little similar to regular taijutsu. Of course they were being watch by two ninja guards just in case something happen liked receiving a painful injury and besides them their mother Ayame was watching over them too. Kasumi dodge another kick from her older brother and she counter with a kick and he dodge it by doing a back flip, Hayate took a kunai from his pouch and he charge at her in a way to test her reflexes however Kasumi was ready as she quickly draw her kunai and clash it with Hayate's own. Ayame smiled seeing her daughters progress as she continues to become a strong kunoichi she was already proud of her she was a prodigy just like her brother.

Hayate smiled at her" good work sis your reflexes have grown since the last time we've spar"

She giggle" that's because I'm learning from the best big brother"

He blush from the compliment while scratch the back of his head it was because Shinden train him well he was able to train Kasumi because he died on a attack on the village a few years ago when she was still a new born, besides him a few ninjas who were close to Shinden also train her.

"Hayate how about we spar with Ayane?" Kasumi said in a cherry tone.

Hearing the lavender hair kunoichi Ayame became depressed knowing the dark secret that she was really her daughter because of that horrible rainy night when Raidou rape her causing her to give birth to Ayane.

"We can't spar with her Kasumi remember she's been train in the Haji Mon clan"

"Oh yeah I almost forgot I wish we could spar with her"

"Maybe we will later when she's on her day off I'll ask Genrasan when he will give her a day off"

"That's enough you two" Ayame said while walking to her two children" you two were great Hayate how about if you take Kasumi around the village?"

"Yeah that would be great" Kasumi said cheery" come on Hayate let's go" she started dragging her older brother from the room.

"All right Kasumi but don't rush in we'll get to the eventually see you later mother"

Ayame watch as her son and daughter left the compound while thinking of her third daughter Ayane the one consider the poison child of the village, tears were form on her eyes while thinking of the pain she is going through.

(Ayane my dear daughter I'm sorry I hope you can forgive me)

Hayate and Kasumi were walking the streets of the village holding hands while the people were giving them smiles and praise and for some reason Kasumi ignore their praise words, she look back at him with a loving smile.

"Hayate?"

"What is it?" he looked back at her feeling happier because of the smile she was giving him.

"You are my favorite big brother"

He sweat dropped at her comment" Kasumi I'm the only older brother you have"

She giggle while snuggling him" I know that's why you're my favorite"

He smiled while looking back at the village" I'm glad I'm your favorite Kasumi"

"I love you big brother"

"And I love you too sis"

(End of flashback)

Hayate stood quiet remembering the day by now Naruto has released him from his grip and his Kyubi features were gone he was back to normal, it was still raining the blond look at him with a sad expression.

"Hayate you can't sacrifice family by blood just because of some clan rule to me family is something powerful more important than any clan" he paused looking at the ninja who was looking at him wide eyes he chuckle sadly" it's funny I speak of family as a powerful bond but I never knew my parents my mother die giving birth to me and my father……." He trailed off not wanting to talk about the man whom he never knew who was known as the greatest ninja of all time.

"But in time I knew what it was like to have a family I made so many friends and eventually they all became like a family to me" he then look at his two teammates both Sasuke and Sakura were smiling at him" I will never sacrifice any of my friends for some rule, tell me Hayate if Ayanechan became an exiled ninja too would you kill her too would you hunt down both of your sisters?"

Ayane was shock the same with Hayate he began to think about it but he shrug it off and charge at Naruto with a fist which he block it and counter with a punch hitting him, once again he grab him by his collar.

"ANSWER ME DAMN IT would you kill both of them because of that rule"

"We are fighting not talking" Hayate said making an excuse so he doesn't answer the question.

"Why won't you answer me it's just a simple question just answer me a yes or no"

Hayate stood quiet pondering the question in his mind to find the answer would he really kill both of them would he kill the only family he had.

(The prize for treason is death but those two are my family mother die when Kasumi was fifteen by some rare disease and now she and Ayane are the only thing I have left I can't stop thinking of that one time when I almost lost both of them)

(Flashback to outside of the Mugen Tenshin village twelve years ago)

Hayate, Kasumi and Ayane were walking near a river since they were having a break from their training by going fishing; Ayane was going to show them her fishing skills how to catch a good fish.

"Okay this is the perfect spot" Ayane said cheery.

"Are you sure Ayane?" ask a worry Kasumi.

She frown at her" don't be such a scary cat"

"But the current looks strong" Hayate said.

"It's no big deal for me just watch me how I catch a fish"

Both Hayate and Kasumi got worry seeing Ayane walking on the water she just recently learn to walk on water, just as Ayane was about to try and catch a fish she suddenly lost her balance to keep her chakra on her feet and fell on the river.

"NO AYANE" Kasumi shouted she quickly dive into the river trying to save her half sister.

Hayate froze seeing her sister diving into the strong current river he felt like he couldn't move all the muscles of his body were failing him. When he finally snapped back to reality he ran following the trail of the river he could see Kasumi was able to catch Ayane and save her from drowning. He saw Kasumi pulling her out of the river she check her and gasp while tears were forming in her eyes checking that she wasn't breathing. Hayate went to her side and started doing some cpr and after a couple of minutes he did it Ayane was able to breath and he couldn't be any happier, Kasumi was the first to react as she embrace her half sister while sobbing.

(End of flashback)

(Hayate's POV)

I was so scared I thought I was going to lose both of them and I couldn't let that happen father was killed when the black spider clan invaded the village because we were allies with the Hayabusa clan we were their enemies too. On that day Kasumi got pneumonia for jumping in the river to save Ayane and because of that the people of the village started blaming her for Kasumi's condition she was going to get beaten to death by the villagers if it wasn't for Genra and I for interfering she would surely got kill.

(Back to normal POV)

"Well Hayate are you going to answer my question?" Naruto said waiting to hear his answer.

He glare at the blond" I don't have to give you an answer no more talking I'm taking you down"

He charge at him running in the water while the storm was raging on he launch an uppercut which Naruto dodge and counter with a kick when Hayate caught it and used a hold kicking him hard and sending out of the water. He charge again at fast speed kicking the blond on his face follow by a flying kick, he gasp seeing Naruto landing on his feet he used a barrage of punches and kicks which made contact with him he felt to the ground feeling exhausted while Naruto panted.

The group was watching in awe they have never witness such a brutal fight Ryu even with his mask on it could clearly tell that he was shock about how brutal the fight has turn while Ayane was shock and quiet. Kasumi was worry for both Naruto and her brother deep inside she wanted for the match to end so they could finally stop attacking each other, Sasuke and Sakura continued to watch the match with a calm look while on the inside they were cheering for their blond friend.

Naruto walk towards Hayate who was still in the ground once he was close enough Hayate surprised him with a low kick tripping him to the ground but he was quick and got back to his feet, Hayate has lunch a fist which he block and he counter with a massive fist hitting his chin. Before Hayate fall to the ground Naruto grab him by his collar and punch his face while Hayate did the same, he glare at the ninja with anger.

"Do you really care for Kasumichan at all?"

Hayate didn't answer so Naruto slam him to a nearby tree while he coughed some blood.

"Well DO YOU?" Naruto said in a growl.

"Why do you care?" Hayate spat.

"Because she's your sister you're supposed to care for her you don't know what she's been through while been a missing nin"

"How would you know you haven't been exiled from Konoha" he said upset.

"I may not been a missing nin but I have an idea what it's like to be one always running and hiding fighting to survive while been hunted down for having a price on your head Kasumichan must have felt so lonely without you or Ayanechan"

"I already told you that she knew the consequences of her actions by leaving the village it was her fault for leaving"

His comment earn him a punch by Naruto while glaring at him" Hayate do you even know why she left the village in the first place?"

"Yes she left to avenge me and went after Raidou to take the jutsu scroll that he stole"

"That was one of the reasons why she left but there's another reason behind her departure" Naruto said softly.

"What are you talking about?" Hayate said confused.

"She wanted acknowledgement from the village because she HATED been praised for nothing they all treated her like she was mighty just because she was the daughter of the leader of the clan but maybe if she defeats Raidou and return the scroll he stole then maybe she will earn the praise that she always wanted"

Hayate's eyes widened in shock he gaze in the distance and saw his sister with tears in her eyes he suddenly remembers a memory from the past.

(Flashback to the night of the festival Mugen Tenshin village twelve years ago)

Kasumi and Hayate were sitting in a bench near the festival Kasumi was wearing a pink kimono while Hayate was wearing a blue male kimono, he has bought some dango to eat while Kasumi was playing with a red pinwheel that he bought for her. He took one stick of dango and offer it to his sister and she kindly accept it, he went back to eat his own stick when he look back at Kasumi she was down all of the sudden she stop playing with the red pinwheel and she even eaten her dango. He knew she was sad because Ayane couldn't come with them so instead he gave her a small smile.

"Don't worry Kasumi I'm sure Ayane will come with us to the festival next year"

"It's not that Hayate I'm fine" she said while giving him a fake smile.

"Kasumi I know there's something bothering you, you're been too quiet" he said worry.

The small girl sighed her brother knew her too well she look back at him who was still giving her a concern look.

"Kasumi what's wrong?"

She stood quiet for a second before answering" why does everyone have to treat me like I'm a princess?"

"What do you mean?" he said puzzle.

"Everywhere I go the villagers all praised me and call me names like lady Kasumi miss Kasumi and princess Kasumi they are always like that with me"

Hayate smile while putting his hands on her shoulders" don't worry about that the village respect you a lot because you are a special person"

"Because of father?" she said.

"Yeah father was a great man and the strongest ninja in the clan and that's why the village respected him"

"But they are respecting me because I'm his daughter nothing more" she said getting upset.

"Kasumi" he whisper while his sister got up from the bench and took the stick of dango.

"It's okay Hayate let's go I want to play more games"

He nodded and left with her he was in deep thought about what Kasumi told him was this really bothering her a lot he look at her who only smile at him they continued walking the streets of the village.

(End of flashback)

"Well Hayate now do you get it Kasumichan wanted to earn the respect of the village by defeating the traitor who stole the jutsu scroll and the village could see her as a hero but that's not how it went is it?" Naruto said while still pining down Hayate to the tree.

Hayate was still in deep thought while he could see Kasumi in the distance with her face full of tears he knew she was bother with the village treating her like she was so high and mighty but he never knew that she hated it now he finally understood why she left, she wanted to restore his honor by defeating Raidou and gain the respect of the village the same way his father Shinden did. He broke free from Naruto's grip and made a back flip landing a few feet away from him.

"Thank you Naruto for making see the truth but we still have a fight to finish"

He grin" yeah let's finish it"

And once again the two ninjas have charge attacking and dodging their attacks, three hours have passed since their fight began and they were still going at it. Naruto punch him while Hayate punch him too, he launch a kick and Naruto dodge it and counter with a kick of his own, Hayate dodge the barrage of attacks from Naruto he counter with a high kick sending the blond in the air. The group gasp as Hayate used his throw Raijin for the second time all of his attacks connected with the blond and finally his last attack send him to the ground. Hayate was panting he has reach a new level of exhaustion but the match was finally over he has won, that's when he saw Naruto getting back to his feet he was too shock it was impossible he has use Raijin on him twice there was no way he will be standing. The rain continues to fall while the two exhausted ninjas continued their match Naruto has charge at him and launch a powerful fist, Hayate however was caught off guard because he was still shock that the blond was still standing the attack made contact and he was send to the ground.

(I won't lose I will win for Kasumichan)

At the café the whole group was in awe at how long the match has taken not mention how brutal and fierce, Tina was worry for Naruto he was all bruise and had blood all over his face she hope that the match would be over already .

(Naruto please be careful)

Naruto panted while the sound of thunder was heard in the rainy sky he watch as Hayate slowly got up panting feeling the exhaustion getting the better of him.

"Naruto there's only way for us to finish this but first I want to know is my will of honor stronger than your will to save your friends?"

The blond chuckle at his question" I will show you that my friends are the reason why I am strong and also Hayate you still haven't answer my question what is your choice your blood or your honor?"

"I will give you my answer if you can beat me" he then made a couple of hand seals that were familiar.

Kasumi, Ayane and Ryu gasp in shock recognizing the hand seals of the incoming jutsu.

"No it can't be" Ayane said shock.

"It appears it is Ayane" Ryu said.

"No Hayate don't" Kasumi shock.

"What are you guys talking about?" Sasuke said.

"Hayate is going to use the sky torn blast is the most powerful jutsu in the Mugen Tenshin clan" Ryu said.

"What but he can't use jutsu's in the tournament he'll be disqualified" Sakura said.

"Master Hayate doesn't care about the tournament this match means a lot to him than you can imagine" Ayane said.

Naruto saw a powerful sphere was been created in Hayate's hands it was a sphere with wind and lighting he could feel the power emitting from the mighty sphere this was one powerful jutsu.

He grin" fine it's my rasengan against your jutsu" he then raise his right palm creating the sphere of spinning chakra over the years he manage to create rasengan without the assistance from a shadow clone.

The announcer of the match gasp" wait they can't do that I will disqualify them" suddenly his cell phone rang and he took the call" what is it? Oh so you will allow it all right" he hang his phone" the match continues"

Not that it matter to Naruto and Hayate since they were concentrating on their attacks, Naruto had his rasengan in hand waiting for the right time to strike while Hayate has finally form the sky torn blast. Naruto charge at him with rasengan in hand while Hayate released the mighty attack.

"RASENGAN"

"SKY TORN BLAST"

BOOM

The whole forest was cover by a huge explosion there was a lot of smoke cause by the collision of the attacks, the four ninjas took cover from the explosion they couldn't see a thing they will have to wait for the smoke to clear out. After a couple of minutes the smoke was starting to clear and the ninjas along with the announcer and the camera were eagerly waiting for the victor of the match. Kasumi watch and smile seeing Naruto still standing but she was shock when she saw Hayate was on a wall injure it seems he was the one that lost the match. The rain has finally stop the storm has pass and the sun has risen to bring his shine once again, the announcer knew it was over after such a powerful attack the winner was pretty obvious.

"The match is over the winner is Naruto"

WINNER

"What are you going to chose Hayate?"

Naruto walk towards the hurt Hayate.

"So what is it going to be Hayate do you chose your blood or your honor?"

Hayate gaze at the blond when their attacks collided he saw that Naruto didn't used the rasengan on him but rather on his sky torn blast causing the big explosion, he didn't kill him making him wonder why he didn't. While thinking he was about to die he thought about his family his mother Ayame who die of a disease when Kasumi was fifteen his father who die honorably defending the village when the black spider clan invaded and his two sisters Kasumi his dear sister who swore to always protect only breaking his promise and finally his half sister Ayane whom he considers her as his sister by blood not caring what the villagers said about her. Tears started to fall from his eyes the stone wall he has built around himself to prevent his emotions from escaping has crumble when Naruto defeated him, he wasn't going to follow some clan rule to take the life of his dear sister he was family and just like Naruto said family was a powerful bond a bond that can never be broken.

He look at the blond with his face full of tears" I……I won't do it I don't care if I become a traitor too I Kasumi and Ayane are the only family I have left I won't lose them too I won't kill Kasumi I won't…..Naruto I chose my blood"

Naruto smile" there that wasn't so hard was it" he walk to him and put his around his shoulder and started carrying him.

The group went to them and Naruto lay Hayate on the ground so Sakura could heal his injuries Kasumi and Ayane were next to him worry for their brother's condition.

"How is he Sakurachan?" Naruto said.

"He suffer a few injuries but he'll be fine looks like you didn't hit him with your rasengan otherwise his injuries would have been worst" Sakura said while using her green chakra to heal him.

Hayate look at Kasumi" Kasumi I'm sorry for everything sorry for putting you through so much hell can you forgive your foolish brother"

Kasumi sob" don't apologize Hayate it wasn't your fault it was mine for leaving the village you didn't do nothing so it's all right"

"That's just it it's just like Naruto said I should have found a way to save you from being a runaway without killing you I fail as a brother"

"No don't say that Hayate I know how much you have been suffering too you didn't fail I still love you"

"There Hayate I heal your injuries but take it easy don't do anything reckless" Sakura said" okay Naruto your next"

"What I'm fine Sakurachan I'm not that hurt OW" Naruto shouted while touch one of his wounds.

She smirk" not so injure huh just stay still"

Naruto gave a goofy grin while he saw Kasumi and Hayate embracing both crying he smile at the two siblings" hey Ayanechan you go too you're family too"

Ayane look at him but she wasn't sure while Sasuke nodded she gaze at Hayate and Kasumi that broke their embrace and were smiling at her. She went to the two and they gave themselves a three way hug while crying finally after enduring so much pain in the past the three siblings were finally together again.

At the café everyone were cheering at the emotional conclusion of the match even the gang Hitomi was happy while Lei Fang was trying not to cry but it was futile she started crying the same with Kokoro and Tina was happy seeing what Naruto did for Kasumi.

(Naruto you never cease to amaze me)

By now Sakura was done with healing Naruto's injuries he continued to watch the emotional reunion.

"Thank you Naruto"

The three look at Ryu.

"Naruto what you did for Hayate was a very honorable thing he will be forever in your debt"

"You think so well to me it was the right thing to do family will be family" those were Naruto's last words before collapsing on the ground.

"I guess he was that tire" Ryu said.

"Yeah but he deserves the rest after that fight" Sasuke said while grinning in his mind (I can't believe Naruto beat Hayate without taking off his weights)

Hours later Naruto was back in his apartment and he was sleeping in his bed but he wasn't alone next to him stood Kasumi who was watching over him the same way he watch over her. She was grateful for the blond he has done so much for her already, she blush while gazing at his sleeping figure he really look adorable when he was asleep. The more she look at him the faster her heart beats she couldn't control it her feelings for him have grown so much she didn't deny it she was more in love with him than ever the blond ninja has conquer her heart forever.

(Narutosan you mean a lot to me and maybe someday when I'm ready I will tell you how I feel about you)

DOA 5 tag team throws here is the next team

Naruto and Kasumi

Before the match begins Kasumi appears in a swirl of cheery blossoms while Naruto appears using the flying thunder god jutsu and he says" you can't beat us we are the strongest tag team ever"

When Kasumi enters the match Naruto attacks the opponent with the flying thunder go jutsu and Kasumi uses her cheery blossom charge they do it twice at the same time.

When Naruto enters the battle he kicked the opponent high in the air and he and Kasumi uses the shadow clone jutsu and they do the Uzumaki Naruto combo.

Heaven's rasengan: this is a special tag team throw it's the strongest and most deadly in the story Naruto and Kasumi combines the rasengan and the sky torn blast together creating a white rasengan bigger than odama rasengan and it's destructive power is equal to Fuuton Rasenshuriken.

When they win the match Naruto cheers saying" we did it Kasumichan" he hugs her and she blushes
