Beast, versus Beast? Lee's forfiet...
"Hello Naruto."
Naruto looked over at the source of the voice. He was now starring at a tall man, around 6'2, he was wearing a simple white kimono ( or what looked like one). The man had long black hair, that reached down to his waist. Naruto looked up at the man to see his expression. It wasn't a cold one, but more of an observant one. Naruto didn't know who this man was...until he saw his pupil-less eyes.
" Hello Hiashi." Naruto raised an eyebrow, as he looked over to Hiashi's side. " And who's this?"
Naruto was now starring at a very large tiger, one big enough for one or two people to ride on. The tiger was white, with black strips going all around it. It seemed to hold a strong, but wise aura. Especially the strong part, since it had a set of claws that could easily take a persons head off...The tiger had a collar around it's neck, nothing special. Just an ordinary black collar.
What really caught Naruto's attention was it's eyes. They seemed to burn into him some how, like they were analyzing everything and more of what made him. He was caught up in the fiery color of it's eyes. How they seemed to naturally draw him in. Naruto didn't realize it, but he had been starring at it for almost a minute...which he didn't prefer doing. He liked to keep his observation of anything a few seconds long, that way people wouldn't think your interested in something or someone.
" I am Esuna..." The tiger stated, while Naruto raised an eyebrow.
" Interesting...have we meet before." Naruto asked, Esuna nodding in confirmation.
" Yes...about eight years ago, I think it was at Hinata-chan's birthday party." Naruto took a minute to think about it, before the answer hit him like a ton of bricks.
" You were the kitten Shino-kun gave Hinata-chan, weren't you?" The tiger nodded, while Hiashi coughed.
" Well then, shall we have a seat and see who's fighting first?" Hiashi went over a sat down next to Naruto. Esuna followed behind and sat at Hiashi's feet, not wanting to take up that much room. Naruto looked back up at the score board to see that the fight has been decided.
Rock Lee vs. Hyuuga Hinata
Naruto raised an eyebrow, looking up at the automated score bored with interest. Naruto looked around to see Hinata looking up at the score board from the fighters section, also hearing a shot of the ' Spirit of youth.'...
Naruto honestly wondered how Lee was able to be a nin AND be that loud as well. Hinata walked down the stairs towards the arena, while Lee did something very interesting. He jumped off the balcony, flipped a couple times and landed on the ground. He slowly stood up and gave his good guy pose. A stream of petals followed behind him, as the ocean seemed to come out of no where and appear behind him. A giant whale then jump out of the water and landed with a large splash, the petals still flowing.
Naruto sweet dropped, as he watched this go on. He had a feeling that everyone else that was watching this also sweat dropped. Naruto honestly didn't know how Lee did it...buthe knew that he would have to find out some day. That genjutsu was very good and if he was able to make that, imagine what he could do to if he used it properly.
The two entered the center of the arena, the ref coming up to them. Actually, it was JouninSB, Naruto wondered about what had happened to the guy. Now that he knew, he really didn't care anymore. What? He can't worry about everyone...that would be impossible...for most. JouninSB looked at the two fighters, who were just starring at each other with...confident smirks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Are you two ready?" JouninSB asked, while Hinata thought about something, before turning towards the ref.
" Almost." Hinata replied, as she brought her fingers together and up to her mouth. With a very powerful breath, she whislted, which itself could probably be heard from three freakin miles away. Lee's expression dropped when she did this.
" NOOOOO...my spirt of youth can not fight him!" Lee thought, as he contemplated on wether or not to give up.
( Big word...yah...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto heard a yawn, looking over to see Esuna getting up and stretching. Naruto raised an eyebrow as to what he could be doing. Only to see him jump out of the stands. Nartuo looked over at Hiashi for some answers.
" Hinata has been training with more then just the Hyuuga fighting style." Hiashi stated, while Naruto shrugged. It was better that Hinata branched out into other fighting styles. There is a chance that a person could easily counter your fighting style on a battle field. If they could, having one or two extra styles could really save your ass...But what Nartuo wanted to know is...
Why didn't Hinata tell him about it, he could have helped her...after all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lee stared at Hinata wide eyed. Well actually, he stared at the huge ass tiger that was now behind her, it's back argued up and ready to pounce on him on a moments notice. In the hidden leaf village, it was know that Hinata had strength that could rival that of Tsunade's, but the tiger that fought along side of her could beat either one of them.
Lee had fought against the tiger...once. It didn't turn out well. He was stuck in the hospital for three weeks straight, unable to enjoy the simple things in life, like training, or walking in the fields, or training, or being able to continue helping the students at his dojo, or training, or being able to watch his favorite cartoon show...
Did he happen to say training?
The only thing that could even make him slightly smile was the thought of how his students all came to see him in the hospital. All in they're green beast outfits...it was beautiful. All of them rising they're hands at once and giving the good guy/girl pose. It was something that he would never forget...
Besides being maimed by a large tiger, anyway...
Lee sighed, looking over at Hinata's grin. She was hitting below the belt with this...and she knew that she was. Lee let his head drop a bit, as he slowly rose his hand. Everyone in the audience didn't blame him ( except of Naruto ) for quitting, hell, JouninSB looked a little bit relieved.
"I...forfeit..." Lee said, as the ref nodded. He then looked over at Hinata.
" Hyuuga Hinata win's the match." The audience just kind of shock they're heads, as Lee headed towards the stands to pout about his 'defeat.' Hinata just walking back towards the fighters seats, Esuna tailing behind her.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So Lee-kun, what's it like to lose in less then 30 seconds..." Naruto asked, while Lee just looked up at him. ( Lee was sitting in the other seat that was next to Naruto)
" It was...UN-YOUTHFUL!" Lee yelled, as Naruto covered his ears to block out the noise.
" Um...anything I could do to cheer you up?" Naruto asked, as Lee instantly turned to him and opened his arms.
" I could use a hug...Gai-sensei always gives me a hug" Lee stated, as he tried to give Naruto a hug. Naruto's eyes widened and his hands pushing Lee away from him. Naruto even ripped a chair out of it's place and used it to keep Lee back.
"Down boy, my boat don't rock like that..." Naruto stated.
" Wha-?"
"Nothing Lee-kun, just watch the next fights."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone looked up at the board with a LOT more interest then with the last match. You couldn't call it a fight because all Hinata had to do was call her tiger and Lee went running for the hills. Though, like stated before, you couldn't blame him. Even with ninjutsu and genjutsu, that tiger would be a bitch to handle. Considering the genjutsu, no matter what it is, had no effect on him.
Which is awkward, since most don't rely on genjutsu for fighting anymore...so it was almost useless...
Everyone one seemed to either sigh in relief or look at the board with intisapation when the next fight came up. Naruto didn't know either of the two that were fighting. Wait, he did know one some what, but they had only met a few times before now. The other one was from Garra's team, along with that large sword of his...
Naruto still thought that the sword was from that class of weapons, but it could also just be a jutsu. It wouldn't be difficult for a person to come up with a jutsu to make a small sand storm ( or large) and use that storm when fighting. But the amount of chakra to keep that storm going, along with the concentration needed for it as well...this made Naruto have only one thought from that point forward.
"Just who is this guy..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nara Shikamaru vs. Subura Omocha.
Shikamaru sighed, as he slowly stood up from his chair. He really didn't want to do this, it took up to much energy. He just wanted to enjoy watching the clouds for a couple of hours, before going to his house, eating dinner, then going to bed. A simple life would be great for him, not having to fight so much.
But then again, he did enjoy fighting...once in a while. If the person was as good with a sword ( if not greater) then he was, he would actually enjoy the fight. He loved swords of all kinds, able to identify a sword quite easily. He had been collecting them for years, and because of that, his room looked like a miniature armory.
He was able to develop jutsu, include his family jutsu, that involved a sword. He preferred to use jutsu that he developed, even if it was a long...LONG process. He knew that he could count on jutsu that he had made and tested himself. It had little battle experience and fame compared to other techniques, but it would become known soon.
Shikamaru hoped that at some point...that he could open up a dojo for swordsman. He would be able to pass down the techniques that he had learned down to those that are worthy and capable, able to instruct those that were just beginning, able to help raise some of the most powerful swordsman in existence...
He also wanted to yell at people.
What? He had at least some part of his mother's family in him...
But that dream wouldn't happen for a long time. Because one, he was too lazy to build it. Two, he spent most of his money on equipment and swords. Three, his mother threaten him that if he didn't find a girlfriend before starting on his 'dojo', that she was going to melt ALL of his swords down while he was on a mission...
That was more then enough to make him hesitant in attempting to build his dojo, so he would have to wait. Besides, he needed to train more, along with learning new sword techniques and acquiring the money to actually begin construction on the dojo. So yeah, he had a lot keeping him back...But he would build it someday.
Maybe...
Shikamaru gave another sigh, as he headed towards the railing and jumped off the fighters section. He landed gracefully, and began to walk towards the center of the arena, his hands in his pockets. His opponent was already waiting for him in the center. When Shikamaru finally got to the center, he noticed something...
" That's a Shiranai class sword isn't it?" Shikamaru asked, while Subura just kept quite. He slowly reached back and pulled his sword up from over his back and got into a fighting stance with it. Shikamaru drew his katana and also got into a stance. JouninSB looked at the two to make sure that they were ready, about to begin the match.
" You know...those swords have been forbidden for some time, why would you be wielding one? Aren't you strong enough without it?"" Shikamaru asked, while Subura froze for a second before returning to normal.
" Begin the match." JouninSB said, Subura and Shikamaru charged at one another a second later...
" too troublesome..."
