Naruto jumped up into the participant box and walked over to Shikamaru and the two did a bro hug and Naruto nodded for Shikamaru to follow him. The shadow user followed him down the stairs and down the hallway.
"Whats up Naruto?" Shikamaru asked.
"You heard about Hinata right?" Naruto asked him.
Shikamaru nodded, "Yeah, I am just as upset about it."
Naruto nodded, "I have to get her back Shikamaru, but first I have to win this tournament, so that if I ever get her back I can have her. If I don't win this the Hyuugas will never accept me as a possible suitor."
Shikamaru nodded, "Makes sense, so what is the plan after the exam?"
Naruto put his head in his hand, "I don't know Shikamaru, all I can think of are the horrors she is going through. That bastard Kabuto, how could we let him take her. I should have fucking been here. Maybe I could have stopped him."
Shikamaru placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder, "There was nothing you could have done man, they went on a date outside the village. It's not like you could have followed them out and joined them on their date."
Naruto nodded, "I know. I just wish she was here. I am going to save her Shikamaru. If I have to invade a foreign nation and kill everyone there I will get her back."
Shikamaru grinned, "You won't be alone in that endeavor."
Naruto grinned as the two walked back up to the participant's box.
The announcer was saying something for the tournament. "It appears the participant Dosu has dropped out, meaning we will put Shino Aburame against Gaara next, and Sasuke Uchiha will have to fight Kankuro of the Sand. Will Shino and Gaara come to the arena please?"
Shina jumped into the ring as Gaara did the same. The two started their fight by Shino sending bugs at Gaara. The bugs crawled through the sand only to be crushed. Shino cursed as he sent more bugs, this was not his match. Gaara was not going to be possible to beat. He put up a good fight but he and his bugs weren't fast enough to beat Gaara. After a few more minutes Shino put his hand up and called a quits, "I won't sacrifice any more of my hive to lose this battle. It is clearly one I cannot win." With that Shino jumped out of the arena and into the stands to watch with Ino and Choji.
The next match was supposed to be the rain ninja but he got a pass because Kabuto didn't show up, not much of a surprise Naruto thought that bastard wouldn't have the balls to show up here after taking Hinata. Naruto growled at the thought. The next match was Temari vs. Shikamaru.
Shikamaru wanted nothing to do with this battle she was fierce and experienced but he knew he could beat her. It was Sasuke he was worried about, "Oh well best not to worry about that now." He thought and jumped down onto the ground.
Temari jumped down as well and opened her fan. The procter yelled go and Temari started with a swing of her fan at him. the wind sliced at him and he dodged by jumping to the side. He took out some kunai and threw them at her but she deflected them with ease using a blast of wind. Shikamaru frowned and she started sending wind attacks at him. Shikamaru started dodging and juking jumping around her trying to get away from her wind attacks.
Then out of nowhere he charged her and she smiled and started sending horizontal wind blades at him. He slid under two of them only for the next one to be aimed lower. He dug his heel into the ground causing his body to come up off the ground and used his other leg to jump up over the blast only to see another one aimed right at him. He spun his body horizontal and dodged the blade but only barely. He started doing hand seals in mid air landed in a kneel and yelled Shadow spikes jutsu and sent spikes of shadow at the blonde as they tore through the ground she dodged only to the right which Shikamaru expected and sent a shadow at her but using her fan she swung it in midair at the ground causing her to be propelled to the right even farther and out of the range of the shadow. She smirked before sending more blades of wind at him. He started dodging again before throwing 10 kunai with exploding tags into the ground they exploded and dust filled the arena. Shikamaru hid in the trees and Temari swung her fan hard and dispersed all of the dust. She figured he was in the trees thinking up a plan or making a trap.
She decided not to let him and with a huge swing and decimated all of the trees but to her surprise Shikamaru wasn't there. Instead Shikamaru was using his Shadow walking technique using the Shadows around the stadium walls to be unseen he got behind Temari and sent his shadow at her. It caught her and he came out of his hiding and smirked he told her to surrender but she defiantly said no so Shikamaru walked her to the wall and classically banged her head into the wall knocking her out. Shikamaru was announced the winner and jumped back up to the box. Naruto congratulated him high fiving and then getting serious.
"Shikamaru, I have to fight Gaara soon, it won't be an easy fight. If you can beat Sasuke great, but I really need you to weaken him, I'm not so sure I can make it through this round and beat Sasuke if he is at full strength. Oh and Shikamaru, if I don't beat Gaara and you beat Sasuke forfeit immediately. You can't beat Gaara, he will kill you."
Shikamaru sighed and nodded as Sasuke beat Kankuro with ease as soon as he shot past his puppet and planted a kunai against his neck.
The match was called and Sasuke moved up. Naruto sighed it was his turn to face a monster.
The two ninja jumped down and Gaara already looked crazy. The procter said go and the two went at it. Gaara started the fight by throwing sand shuriken and slivers at the blonde but Naruto dodged them with ease and retaliated by throwing his own kunai at Gaara. The red head's sand came up and blocked it though. Naruto frowned this was going to be difficult but he had a plan of sorts anyway, he needed Gaara to be weakened and get his sand weak enough to deliver a final blow.
He went through hand seals and yelled "Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu" and 50 shadow clones appeared. They went straight into action going through hand seals and yelling out their separate jutsus. Fireballs, blades of wind, lightning darts and explosive kunai were sent after Gaara. When the smoke cleared, the redhead had undergone a transformation, he had two large arms made of sand and he was pissed. He charged Naruto and sent sand bullets everywhere. He destroyed most of Naruto's clones but hadn't found the real one yet and he was getting angrier and angrier.
He screamed, "Where are you Uzumaki! I will find you and mother will have your blood!"
Naruto appeared behind Gaara and yelled, "As you wish!" as he went through hand seals, "Fire Style: Firewall Jutsu!" then to further the attack he went through more hand seals lightning fast and yelled "Wind Style :Gust!" and pushed his hands at the firewall pushing it into Gaara the the rest of the clones that Gaara hadn't destroyed threw explosive tags at him.
The explosion that followed was massive and when the dust finally cleared in Gaara's place was a giant dome of sand and an eye appeared at the top of the arena.
"This must be his ultimate defense" Naruto thought. He grinned, perfect time to try one of his new attacks. He ran to the wall of the arena and when he reached the top he jumped up and created a clone. The clone grabbed his hand and spun him around before throwing him higher up he created another clone and started gathering chakra in his right hand, the new clone grabbed his left hand and twisted him around with the momentum he had and threw him at Gaara as hard as he could.
Naruto flew at Gaara, in his right hand he held a blue orb of chakra. As he closed in a spike of sand shoots up at his chest, he rolls left bringing the orb with him trying to escape the sand, but he isn't quick enough. The sand spear stabs through his left arm, but he keeps going. Rasengan! yelled the blonde as he shoved the glowing orb of spinning chakra into the dome of sand.
Dust clouded the stadium as Naruto fell to his knees, holding his left arm. It was bleeding and bad, but he wasn't worried, he was exhausted.
All of a sudden a roar is heard and the dust is swept out of the stadium into the air to reveal a giant sand racoon, with an unconscious Gaara on his head. The giant sand demon thrusted its arm at Naruto in an attempt to kill him. Naruto, knowing there was little he could do braced himself for impact.
Suddenly a pair of arms raps around him and the clone that has thrown him pulls him out of the way. Naruto cursed and stood up, "Hey Kurama could I get some chakra please? An insane sand demon is trying to kill me I need some help!"
Naruto grinned as he felt his body regenerate with chakra and he wipes the blood from his arm onto his fingers goes through handsigns and yelled "Summoning Jutsu!"
The arena filled with smoke and Naruto appeared atop an enormous toad. "Gamabunta, I'm sorry I summoned you, but I have a major problem. As you can see there is a giant sand raccoon and I can't beat it on my own, especially with the amount of chakra I have left." Naruto told the giant toad.
Gamabunta nodded and said, "Very well, just don't make this a habit right now we will learn to fight together, but you have not yet earned the status to call on me any time you want."
Naruto nodded and replied, "Alright, well let's do this!" with that Gamabunta charged but was forced to dodge due to the glob of sand that was shot at him. This continued for a couple minutes as Naruto thought up a plan. It was quite simple he was going to, in a moment where the sand demon was distracted and couldn't see him, switch with a clone and sneak around and attack from behind. Hopefully get to Gaara and wake him up and end the fight.
But as we all know plans don't always work out and Naruto switched with the clone only to be slammed into a wall when the demon swept him away with his arm. The demon then turned on Naruto, only to be blasted with a giant ball of water from Gamabunta.
The demon turned back around and charged Gamabunta. Naruto slowly got out of a crack in the wall to see Gamabunta throw the sand demon onto the ground. The demon got up and send blasts of wind at the giant toad. Naruto rushed over to the demon and jumped up on his back. Dodging sand spears simultaneously he ran up the back of the sand demon and was about to reach Gaara and wake him up, when out of nowhere a sand spear stabbed him from behind, one when straight through his right leg, another through his right arm, and two through his back. the sand then wrapped around him and grabbed onto him ensuring he could not reach the sleeping Gaara. Naruto cried out in pain, but refused to stop. He pushed chakra into his left hand and yelled "Lightning style: Spark Darts" (One of the jutsus he learned from Jiraiya and Kakashi) and five sparks flew from his fingertips and hit Gaara waking him up.
The demon screamed in horror. "No!" As he disappeared. Naruto and Gaara fell to the ground, After they hit the ground Naruto pushed himself up, he was covered in blood, and wounds. He walked over to Gaara, who was unable to get up.
Naruto bent over and offered him a hand. Gaara looked at him like he was crazy.
"What are you doing?" Gaara asked him.
Naruto panting trying to catch his breath replied, "That was a great fight, and I have never actually met someone like me, I want to be your friend. Here take my hand and let me help you to the healing room here."
Gaara looked at him in shock but nodded and took Naruto's hand, no one had ever wanted to be his friend.
As they were walking Naruto helping Gaara out of the Arena, Gaara asked him, "What did you mean like you?"
Naruto laughed, "Well we both have tailed beasts in us, and I am guessing you were treated like shit because of it just like me."
Gaara nodded and they continued to walk, "Naruto that girl that was on your team, where is she. I noticed how she seemed to feel about you, so why isn't she here?"
Naruto frowned instantly, "Hinata, she was kidnapped by that guy Kabuto. No one knows why or who had him kidnap her but she is gone."
Gaara cursed, "Naruto, I am so sorry but I know who has her. We were supposed to invade with the sound ninjas, Orochimaru lead them, Kabuto works for Orochimaru."
Naruto was shell shocked, "Are you sure?"
Gaara nodded, "I was supposed to go demon mode like I did and destroy the village my orders from Orochimaru always came from Kabuto."
Naruto cursed, "This is not good, Gaara you and your siblings are going to be held because of this, just answer all of their questions and you will be fine. Answer only to Jiraiya and the Third Hokage. They will treat you fairly. Also, if a woman named Anko asks you questions answer them immediately and be nice about it, she is one scary lady, I will also have Jiraiya look at your seal. I know for a fact he can make it better and make it so you can sleep without Shukaku taking over."
Gaara nodded and thanked Naruto, no one had ever shown him such kindness. and Naruto was an enemy yet still showed this kindness.
Naruto set Gaara down on the bed then did a hand seal and disappeared in a flash appearing next to The Hokage and Jiraiya, he told them what Gaara had told him and the Hokage called ANBU to get Anko and take her to Gaara. Also to take the Sand siblings into custody for the time being.
Please read and Review! This was a fun chapter. What is Anko going to do when she finds out Orochimaru is holding her precious student? Find out next time!
