Next chapter of A Father's Wrath, as you know in this one Tayuya takes on Temari, so that pretty much guarantees it's going to be a catfight. Be warned I haven't written a comedic fight before so I hope you enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
At the Arena the finals for The Chunin Exams continued as the Second match was done for and most of those in attendance that where male had winced in sympathy for what had just happened between Shikamaru Nara and Kin Tsuchi.
The match had started out pretty well between the lazy shadow boy and the bell using girl. Shikamaru at first thought he could hide in the trees and think of a strategy to easily defeat her, but to his surprise he found the trees had been filled with bells attached to senbon, setup by Kin before the exams began giving her an great advantage over him as she had come prepared for her fight and then activated her Genjutsu causing his head to ache and to see multiple copies of her as well due to the ringing of her bells which was what had defeated his teammate in the preliminaries.
It appeared that Kin was going to win easily but Shikamaru proved that despite the fact he was lazy he had a brilliant mind and was able to think of strategies even under the threat of going into a coma to get him out of his predicament freeing himself by her bell ringing by using explosive tags to blow up the trees that had her bells. Shikamaru if he wasn't so lazy much to the annoyance of his sensei and mother, was told that he could be a great general if he lived long enough perhaps even rivaling the Legendary Zhuge Liang in terms of planning and strategy as he had much potential.
Now free of her Jutsu and no longer having his head feeling like it was being pounded on like a drum Shikamaru was able to turn the fight into his style, Having Kin make mistakes and missed opportunities that enabled him to activate his Kage Mane and trap her in his shadow preventing her from moving or doing anything else. Grudgingly upset that he had foiled her plans and unable to move as long as the Jutsu lasted she surrendered the fight to him giving Shikamaru the win.
Unfortunately for Shikamaru however, he opened his mouth without thinking after he let her go, saying she was almost as bad as Ino an annoying troublesome bitch. Kin with her advanced hearing heard what he said and the next thing Shikamaru knew Kin had placed her foot…
Right in between his groin. Needless to say he went down in a crumpled heap in a lot of pain. Genma the proctor for the finals went to check on him as Kin stormed off glad she got her revenge on him as most would agree he deserved that.
"Oh man, that dude ain't going to have any kids after that." Winced Zaku Abumi in the stands as he from past experience knew how hard Kin kicked.
"You got that right." Agreed Kiba Inuzuka sweatdropping the two agreeing on something for the first time as Shikamaru was placed on a stretcher and taken out looking more like the loser of the match than the winner.
It was announced they would take a fifteen minute break before the next fight which would be between Tayuya and Temari.
Naruto Uzumaki still going under the name of Raidou Asakura was in the bathroom washing his hands thinking of his upcoming match against Yujo Shouhei the Taijutsu specialist of the Rain nins. He remembered the sting of the scorpion that he had been stabbed with before saving Anko from the blow. And who knew what else he had up in store for him as like the rest of them they where mysterious.
His thoughts also drifted back to his first fight, the one with Shinjiro, the pyro nin had told him that the Rain ninjas wanted him, but for what? He couldn't get any answers out of him as he had set himself ablaze rather than tell him. His thoughts then drifted towards a certain nemesis of his Muta Daidouji the one being who seemed obsessed with defeating him; he could tell during their brief confrontation that he had gotten stronger and much more dangerous.
(Well first he has to get past his opponent to get to me.) He thought to himself as they would face each other in the next round should both of them win. Heading back towards where the others would be at he waited for the next fight to begin.
Haku was heading towards the hospital going to the room where a person he had faced was being treated for his wounds. He entered the room and saw Neji Hyuga on the bed. The Hyuga prodigy noticed him and sat up and the two were in a stare off a small glare on Neji's face as he stared at the boy from Mist.
"Have you made your choice?" He asked the Hyuga with little emotion. "Are you still going to act as if everything is governed and decided by fate? Or are you going to follow your own path and forge your own name by yourself?"
Neji stared hard at him and sat up wincing a bit as his shoulders had been numb a side effect from being frozen by Haku's ice jutsu as they had little feeling in them and would take time so he could use them again. Haku stared back at him as the two adversaries looked at one another.
After a couple of tense minutes between the two Haku suddenly smiled a bit and nodded. "I see, I guess you will change your ways after all." Neji looked at him confused not understanding as the boy left.
As Haku exited he nearly bumped into the Head of the Hyuga clan Hiashi, bowing in politeness to him he headed back to the arena as Hiashi watched him go and then entered his nephew's room.
Back at the Arena the fifteen minute break was almost over and it was about time for the third match.
Naruto back at the arena was waiting for it to begin when he suddenly felt someone press herself against him. He turned his head and was face to face with Temari daughter of The Kazekage a seductive smile on her face had bumped into him.
"Hey there cutie, How bout after this we go somewhere private and chat a little? She purred attraction in her eyes. Red stained Naruto's cheeks as the blonde smiled at him and he gulped a little.
"Um, I'm a-afraid that I'll have to-"
Temari laughed. "Why are you so shy around me? Afraid I have cooties or something?" She said teasingly as she rested her hands on his shoulders. "You're strong in battle yet you're as timid as a mouse outside of it, I like men who surprise me."
Tayuya watching from afar resisted the urge to go up there and kill her right this instant for daring to make advances on Naruto.
"After I mop the floor with your teammate we can get to know one another better, I promise you won't regret it." She said as she left, as she walked away she turned her head and winked at him swaying her hips suggestively towards Naruto whose face was crimson.
"I'm going to kill her." Growled the red haired girl a look of fury on her face at what the skank had just done making advances on Naruto right in front of her just to spite her for their upcoming match.
Naruto tried to remove the blush from his face when he saw his teammate past him. "Hey Tayuya how-"
"Piss off!" She shouted startling him a bit surprised at her reaction as he watched her go.
"The next match of the finals shall begin between Temari of the Sand and Tayuya of The Sound." Announced Genma to the eager crowd as the two female kunoichi's made their way down the steps to the arena.
"Hey!" Naruto heard a voice and saw the girl's brother Kankuro approach him. "Looks like my sisters has the hots for you dude." He said as he stood next to him and looked on. "Hate to be you since whenever she sets her sights on someone she doesn't give up very easily."
Naruto looked down, sure he admitted that Temari was attractive and easy on the eyes he wasn't too fond of girls who acted like that to get a guy's attention. Plus something told him she was just attracted to him in a lustful way instead of for who he was on the inside. Her other sibling was standing by himself appearing to be bored and irritated with what was going on. Looking down he watched as the two got ready to face one another.
The two rulers of Konoha and Suna watched on. "This should be interesting for your daughter Kazekage." Said Sarurtobi to him. The ruler of Sand nodded slightly as he watched on
"Let's get this over with, I've beaten one wannabe easily beating another should be even easier." Said Temari bringing out her fan.
Tayuya scowled and brought up her flute a determined glare in her eyes. "Listen closely whore, because this melody is going to be the last one you hear."
Genma barely had enough time to order them to begin when they were already at it. Temari sent out a gust of wind that Tayuya avoided leaping away. Tayuya then playing a tune summoned her Dooki wielding their giant clubs the three giant ape like creatures formed in front of her serving as a shield from her adversary's attacks. They seemed to be unaffected by the wind as they stood there impassively.
Temari glared at the creatures her wind having little effect on them so far. (I have to end this quick, I'm suppose to participate in the invasion that's suppose to happen when that snake guy gives the signal, so I can't waste energy and chakra with this bitch) She looked at her red haired adversary who glared back at her. (Still, I suppose I can have some fun with her)
"Hey red!" She said with a grin knowing how to make her do something stupid. "What's wrong afraid to fight me yourself?" She said tauntingly Tayuya glared at her but sensed she was trying something and remained quiet. "Is it through your dense skull that you can't beat me?" Tayuya's jaw started to tremble a bit as she was pushing her buttons. "I mean seriously you don't fight you have your bandaged Neanderthals do all the work for you, I bet you couldn't win in a real fight against a five year old."
Tayuya growled as she was starting to tick her off. "No wonder the guy you like wants nothing to do-"
"THAT'S IT!!" Next thing she knew the red head was right in front of her with shocking speed a murderous look in her eyes as she tackled her in the stomach knocking the wind out of her and to the ground the furious redhead on top of her pounding her on the head.
It was on…
"Rawr! Catfight." Said Kankuro with a grin as he and Naruto watched on. And a catfight it was with the two rolling on the ground trying to get on type of the other clawing and biting one another each attempting to pound the hell out of one another, no jutsu or ninja trickery here it was an all out war between the two.
"Shouldn't the proctor do something about this?" Asked Naruto. Genma who had done nothing to separate the two had heard the boy and looked at him as if he was crazy, many males who had tried to stop a fight between two rival females left with nothing but claw marks and broken ribs.
The crowd was cheering wildly well mostly the perverted male half of the crowd was at what was going on; there was nothing in the rules about this happening in a fight.
Tayuya felt the stinging blow of Temari's slap which knocked her hat off angrily she yanked hard on Temari's hair causing her to scream in pain. The two were going at it like crazy each attempting to beat the hell out of the other.
Tayuya hit her upside the head with her forearm and Temari bit her on the hand. Tayuya yelled in pain and fury and slammed her head against hers dislodging her teeth. They slapped, pulled hair, kicked, clawed, and did everything in their power to beat the other.
Tayuya with a strong kick to Temari's stomach knocked her off of her and stood up; getting her hat she put it back on and pulled out her flute. Temari had recovered her fan and was glaring at her.
"Bitch!" Shouted Tayuya at her.
"Whore!" Responded Temari
"Skank!"
"Slut!"
"Jezebel!"
The would be Kazekage was shaking his head in annoyance as he watched the fight. (I thought I told that girl to not let her anger get the best of her and to end this match quickly.)
Tayuya threw some kunai at her which she easily deflected with her fan she followed it up with shuriken which again was deflected. "Ha! What are you trying to do? Did you forget about my earlier fight? Projectile attacks are useless against me!" Taunted Temari at her. Tayuya resummoned her Dooki and instructed them to destroy a tree for lumber.
"Well let's see you deflect this!" Temari's eyes widened as the creatures then hurled the pieces of tree at her forcing her to move. She let out a curse; she could deflect things with her fan sure but not that big! She avoided the falling trees that they threw at her skillfully as she decided to end this and her fan opened up revealing all three moons.
"Eat this whore! Daikamatchi no Jutsu!" She then sent a powerful burst of wind combined with her chakra right at the Dooki, the powerful attack sliced threw them cutting two of them in half at their power Tayuya went to move out of the way and managed to avoid the full force of the attack but was still hit and was knocked into a tree hitting her back hard.
Naruto looked on in the stands concern on his face as the odds had quickly shifted in the Blonde girl's favor.
"Still alive eh?" Said Temari as she saw Tayuya attempt to get up. "All I need is one more attack to end this once and for all." She then saw the girl unexpectedly smirk at her. "Hey what's with that stupid smirk? I've beaten you." She said as she walked forward a frown on her face.
Tayuya grinned wickedly all of a sudden. "You really are like most blondes, stupid as hell!"
Before Temari could finish her off she was grasped from below and looked down and saw a clawed hand ensnaring her. (This is how she defeated that pink haired girl! I've walked right into her trap!) She then felt herself being crushed by the claw unable to break free as she struggled and the powerful force of the attack forcing her to drop her fan.
Tayuya ran towards it and snatched it up and the claw dropped the sand girl. Temari tried to reach for her fan helplessly as Tayuya held it above her head. "Not so tough without your fan eh? Well say goodbye to it!" She threw her weapon into the stands which narrowly missed Dosu Kinuta as it stuck itself into the stands. Tayuya brought her flute up to her lips and grinned.
"Hey! Wait a second! I-"Shouted Temari as without her weapon she was powerless and unable to defend herself.
Tayuya just grinned mercilessly at her and casted a Genjutsu. "Mateki: Mugen'osa!" She shouted and then played a melody on her flute. Temari suddenly felt as if something was pulling her arms, she looked and saw nothing but an invisible force was grabbing her like wires. She looked at her arms and her eyes widened in shock and horror as her flesh was melting off her skin! She felt the burning sensation throughout her body and despite how hard she struggled she could not break free as she was forced to watch her skin as she was trapped in the girl's Genjutsu with no way out.
"I…I surrender!" She shouted helplessly after a couple minutes had passed and she was then dropped to the ground and she looked around and saw to her relief her skin was still there.
"The winner of the match via forfeit is…" Genma was about to announce the winner when Tayuya had walked up to the defeated sand girl and forced her up by the throat. She then dragged her to a tree and slammed her back against it and glared at her face to face she pulled out a kunai and drew back her arm.
Temari looked at her a rare look of fear on her face as Tayuya had the advantage and if she wanted to could kill her. Tayuya glared hard at her and all she had to do was plunge it into her skull and kill her.
Tayuya thrusted the knife forward and Temari closed her eyes bracing for the impact. To her surprise she heard it slam into something else. She opened her eyes and saw that Tayuya had plunged it into the bark of the tree just barely an inch away from her ear.
Tayuya then whispered into her ear so only she could hear. "You're lucky you are the Kazekage's daughter and needed for the invasion, if you wasn't I would kill you this instant. If you ever try anything like that to him again." She said referring to Naruto. "I will not show you the mercy I've given you this time!" She said in a hiss and dropped her.
Temari glared at her trying to salvage her pride but she knew from experience with Gaara that Tayuya's words weren't a threat, it was a promise.
Tayuya was announced the winner by Genma who waved nonchalantly at the cheering crowd and headed back up to where the rest of the participants where at.
Sarutobi looked over at his guest. "Kazekage, you don't seem to care that your daughter was almost killed."
The Kazekage remained silent "…Temari's arrogance and refusing to take this seriously was the cause of her loss, hopefully from now on she'll not underestimate her enemies especially those from Sound."
Sarutobi looked at him and turned his attention back to the arena.
The man under the robes and mask grinned (Yes old man, it's wise to not underestimate the ninjas of Sound cause you'll soon find out why.)
Tayuya was met by Naruto as she headed back up who smiled at her. "Good job Tayuya, looks like half of us are moving on."
"Yeah, yeah," She said and then clutched her ribs which were injured. "Damn, lousy bitch." She muttered. She had to admit if her last Dooki had been destroyed, she would've been defeated by Temari.
"You should get that looked at. Make sure nothing's injured."
"Yes, Father." She said dryly as she walked away clutching her ribs.
"Hey Tayuya," She turned her head back to him. "I was thinking…after the exams and whichever of us becomes Chunin, if it's alright with you…" He then spoke the next words carefully. "Would you like to go out on a date?"
Tayuya looked at him surprised at his daring words but slowly a smile, a rare true smile appeared on her face. "I'll take a rain check on that, we can discuss it once we get back to Oto." She said as she went to get her ribs checked.
Naruto smiled as he watched her go.
Elsewhere Keiji Sosano who was not present with the rest of the participants was speaking with the Shadow of Ame Hanzo.
"Do you understand what you are suppose to do?" He said to him holding out a medium sized metal barrel that was covered with a cloth over its lid. Something a type of liquid was apparently inside it.
"You want me to take this to one of the buildings and light it."
Keiji nodded. "Be warned once you light it you'll only have ten seconds to evacuate the building before it ignites." He then smirked. "Surely you can make it out in less than seven seconds with your speed."
"When do you want me to do it?" Asked Hanzo taking the object
"I shall give you the signal after my match to light it, Orochimaru is planning his invasion to commence during the exams, and I've decided to give his troops a little jumpstart. They will think the time to attack is now thus causing confusion amongst their ranks. The Leaf fools won't understand what is going on but will surely attempt to protect their home."
"And during that confusion we capture the fox boy?"
Keiji nodded. "Yes now go, find a target any place will do and wait for my signal."
"What is inside this?" Asked the ninja to him who grinned.
"A substance blessed by Jashin priests you'll understand shortly. My lord will see to it that it'll do its job. Just do yours as well."
Hanzo bowed and disappeared with the metal barrel.
"Lord Jashin, the Chaos that will spread today shall be unmatched by any throughout history." Said Keiji as he headed back to the arena.
