Well here's the next chapter! I don't know how well I did so feedback would be appreciated.

G Man: The whole 'Were not even married yet' comment was part of the joke that Ichigo made about marrying his sister in every universe, Trunks just got embarrassed because he realized what the comment would sound like to other people and the fact that he may have considered Ichigo's joke. Now while Saiyans aren't human they share many characteristics with them with the exception of tougher bodies, tails and transformations(Lycanthopy and bishounen blond). Now the reason why I wouldn't expect Neji or anyone who didn't search their DNA to find anything different about Saiyans is because during Bulma, Gohan and Krillins trip to Namek. Goku had spent the whole month in the hospital recovering but their had been no signs for the doctors treating him that he wasn't human. While that may be because Toriyama-san forgot to mention anything about it, I'm going with them being physically the same, no extra organs or heart on the right side. Chakra in naruto is describe as the molding of the physical energy in the body and the spiritual energy, in DB and Bleach the characters usually rely on their spiritual energy or Ki to attack but there are attacks like the tri-beam that drain the life energy and kill the user. Since in Naruto using up all your chakra means that you die, I decided to make so that life energy=physical energy. Making it that while Saiyans don't use chakra like in Naruto, someone trained on DB!Earth can use their life energy to power an attack at the cost of their lives.


Chapter 48

Watching the results of Karin's fight with Kankuro, Sakura had been left stun. Through out her life when ever she thought about the type of shinobi she wanted to become, she had always pictured herself becoming like the Sannin Tsunade. She had always thought that the effort she had put before was enough, until the events in the forest of death; so she had made as bow to become stronger and put even more effort into her training.

'But that's not enough.' Inner Sakura said as she glared down at the girl who walked her way towards the stairs. 'Karin's only a year older than I am and she's already this strong, If I don't push myself beyond my limits I won't ever catch up.'

"I-incredible." Ino said beside her. "I've never seen any so strong in our age group." she looked to her side to see Sakura following after Karin with her eyes. "OI, forehead!" she called using her friend and rivals hated nickname. When she turned to her with hate in her eyes she smiled, "Looks like we found ourselves a really strong rival huh?"

"I don't think we even register as her rival pig!" Sakura answered back causing Ino to glare at her.

"Oh? And why not forehead?" Ino asked angrily.

"What match where you watching?" Sakura asked in disbelief. "She took out that sand guy like he was a rag doll."

"Hmph!" Ino responded as she turned her head to her side and closed her eyes. "You may not stand a chance, but I could take her no problem."

"With the way she moves and that fan of hers." Tenten cut in wanting in on the conversation. "I doubt any of us to take her yet, but I would be more than to try." she answered, her voice light and excited.

"How can you be so excited?" Sakura asked as though Tenten had grown a second head. "You just said she could beat you, so why would you want to fight her?"

"Are you kidding?" Tenten asked in return. "Don't you realize just how much we can learn just by fighting her, heck the way she used that fan gave me an idea on how that girl from the sand fights."

"Oh please," Ino responded. "You two may not stand a chance, but I use my families technique to take her down in fight."

This answered had brought about an argument between the three as the medical teams checked on the down Kankuro before they moved him.

Not to far away from them Hinata watched in a mixture of both fright and envy as the three girls talked and argued with each other wishing that she could be more assertive. Looking over at Naruto who had been holding on to the railing long after, everyone else, she saw the way he was shaking.

'Naruto-kun?' she thought wondering if anything was wrong. 'He couldn't be scared could he?' she asked herself. 'Maybe I should go over to him and talk.'

Tapping her index fingers together, she took a step forward, then another. She had gotten just behind him and was about to place her hand on his shoulder when he through his head back laughing outrageously.

"HAHAHAHA!" Naruto laughed and pointed at the down Kankuro. "You see that!" he yelled with a wide smile on his face. "That's what you get when you act like bastard." laughing once more he rubbed his nose with his index finger. "Oh man, I knew Karin was strong but I never imagine she'd be that strong."

Hanging her head Hinata, stepped away from Naruto as he turned and headed towards Sakura and the other girls and joined in on their discussion. 'I guess I worried for nothing.' She thought as she backed away into the wall. When a hand landed on her shoulder she looked up into the sympathetic face of Kurenai, who gave her and encouraging smile. 'I may not have the courage to tell him how I feel yet, but at least I have Kurenai-sensei's support.' she smiled back as Kurenai's hand squeezed her shoulder, before turning to look at the arena.


Walking up to Trunks, Karin smirked as she raised and eyebrow.

"So? How did do?" She asked making sure to glance towards Gaara who glared at her from the side of his eyes.

"You could have gone easier on the guy, but I guess he needed to learn a lesson." Trunks answered with a shake of his head. "So are you feeling better?" he asked.

"A little." she sigh. "I still want go over and talk to them, but I guess can wait until the tournament." she answered as she stood in front of him. "So how did the what were you about to say about the Sasuke?"

"I'm just hoping he took my advice to heart." Trunks answered and gestured towards the bulletin as it started to randomly select the next contestants, while the medical team took Kankuro's unconscious form away. "If he lets revenge drive him, he's going to ended hurting everyone who cares about."

'Well I could always go into his mind and find out?' Karin suggested telepathy.

'No.' Trunks shot her idea down with a smile. 'Going into his mind without his permission won't end up well anyone.'

'Your no fun sometimes.' Karin responded and mentally blew him a raspberry, just as the bulletin stopped on Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino.

Looking towards the other side, Karin saw as Sakura and the blonde haired girl looked back at each other. At first they looked stunned to get paired together, before an exchange of words had them both heated and heading for the middle of the arena.

"Who do you think will win this fight?" Karin asked, as the two girls took their place on the middle of the arena.

"Hard to say." Trunks answered as he gauge their strength. "They seem even in terms of power, so the deciding factor's will be skill and technique." he offered as the Hayate started the match and the two girls ran at each other.

Sakura and Ino exchange a couple of quick blows; blocking, dodging and parrying blows with their fist and legs. As the fight continued, a lot of the people around had started to wonder at the low-level of fighting going on between the two as they were not even using kunai or techniques.

"Pathetic." Gaara commented as he glared down at the two girls. "If this is the best that Konoha has to offer, than it has become weak."

"Don't count them out yet." Trunks said as he watched. "They not giving it there all, I think they maybe friends so they are holding back because they don't want to hurt each."

"What a stupid notion." Gaara responded as he turned to look at Trunks. "Friendship is nothing more than a tool people use to get under your skin."

Taking a look at the young man from Sunagakure, Trunks wondered what could have happened in his life to make him so distrustful of people. 'Then again,' Trunks thought. 'If things had been different I could have ended up like him.'

"I don't what you went through to make you believe that," Trunks answered as he turned back to the fight just as Ino landed a hit on Sakura. "But having friends can only make you stronger." he nodded towards them as the two girls looked stunned for a second before Sakura started to get to her feet her determination at an all time high. "When that friend happens to also be a rival, you will do anything to show them that you're not weak."

The fight between the two girls had intensified as, Sakura had pulled out a Kunai and attacked. Her strikes coming quicker and more ferocious than before, forcing Ino to pull out a kunai of her own and defend herself. Parrying an attack aside, Ino preformed a spin kick for the pink-haired girls face.

Bringing her left forearm up, Sakura blocked the kick and stepped forward sweeping Ino's other leg from under her. Before grabbing the leg she blocked in a hug and spinning around taking Ino off her feet and throwing her across the arena. Seeing the ground quickly approaching, Ino tucked her body in and rolled with the throw, minimizing the damage and rolled to her feet.

'Tsk!' she thought in irritation as Sakura took a stance at the other side of the field. 'I forgot, exactly how strong she really is.'

"Alright Sakura! I won't hold back anymore just because were friends." She declared as she grabbed the forehead protector that she used as a belt and untied it before placing it back in on her head.

"Neither will I!" Sakura answered and moved her forehead protector down from the top of her head to her forehead and tied it securely before they ran at each other; their speed vastly improved from before as they exchanged attacks.

"See what I mean?" Trunks asked as he turned to Gaara who gave scoffed at him without turning away from the match heading in the other direction. "Guess not." Trunks sigh and caught Temari staring. "Everything ok?" he asked as the blonde haired girl frowned at him.

"Why are you trying to get Gaara to open up?" she asked ignoring his question.

"Because he looks like he could use a friend."

"Gaara's isn't going to become your friend." She answered her voice harsh. "He's already had enough people betray him."

"We'll see about that." Karin answered as she watched Ino put some distance between her and Sakura. "Once I kick his ass in the next round I'm gonna force to become my friend."

"What?" Temari asked as she looked at the younger girl in confusion. "That's not how friendship works!" she exclaimed.

"Well," Trunks interrupted as he rubbed his chin. "That's how Goku-san made most his friends and from what my mother told me, most of them were trying to kill him." he explained.

"So it shouldn't be a problem!" Karin stated with a nod and a confident smile.

"..." Temari was silent after that remark, wondering what type crazy people the Kasugakure shinobi were.


In a back room, Sasuke sat in a circle of kaji, that stretched out to every pillar surrounding him. Standing behind him as he finished writing the last of the sealing kaji, was Kakashi who had taken off his gloves to perform the technique.

"Are you ready?" Kakashi asked as he stood up and placed piece of charcoal back in his pouch.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Sasuke responded wanting this to get it done so that he could get back to the arena and watch the rest of the matches with his sharingan. 'If getting stronger means having friends and rivals around, than I need to learn everything I can from all my rivals.'

"Let's begin." Kakashi responded and preformed the needed seals before squatting down and pressing his hands to the edge of the kaji circle. Suddenly all the kaji started to move, as the circle decreased in size and crawled up Sasuke's skin until it surouned the cursed seal. Once the circle fully shrunk around the seal, the kaji that's scrawled on the pillars started to move into the circle until they became one.

The whole ordeal had left Sasuke gasping for air, as the pain from his shoulder had intensified for the short duration of the sealing.

"Hmm." Kakashi nodded once he inspected the seal. "Alright, the sealing went as planned. But because of the curse seals design the seal I placed on it will depend entirely on you and how determine you are from letting it go out of control." Kakashi explained as he retrieved the gloves laying beside him and put them on as he stood. "Now get dressed, we need to get back to the exam."

Nodding Sasuke stood and rolled his left shoulder testing out the pain on it, when he only felt mild discomfort, he walked toward the bench where his shirt was and put it.

"Hehehehehe!" A familiar voiced laughed and Sasuke turned just as Orochimaru emerged from the shadows behind Kakashi.

"You!" Sasuke yelled as he felt his sharinga activate and fell into a stance. 'Damn it.' he thought as he watched the man approach his eyes moving between him and Kakashi. 'I don't have any weapons on me.'

"My oh my!" Orochimaru commented as he fixed his gaze on Kakashi. "Looks like you've learned how to perform seals since I've been gone, Kakashi-chan." he said his voice dripping with amusement. "But I doubt that whatever you've learned, would have included a way to heal Sasuke so quickly."

Glaring at the man, Kakashi brought his left hand to his right wrist and pushed chakra into his hand. Creating a controlled ball of lighting in his hands.

'What is that jutsu?' Sasuke thought as he saw the way the chakra flowed. 'I wouldn't be able to copy it with just the sharingan.'

"Orochimaru." Kakashi growled out as he glared at the man. "I won't let you take Sasuke, even if it cost me my life."

"Oh don't worry, I'm not planning on taking Sasuke just yet." he responded with a smirk. "He'll come to me on his own." he stated as he glanced at him. "I just came to find out why you would risked Sasuke's life performing the seal in his condition. But here he is completely healed and his chakra restored, that medicine box of Trunks' must have some fantastic samples I could get my hands on."

When he saw Sasuke's eyes focus completely on him with a glare, he knew his hunch was correct. 'Those two just keep getting more interesting by the day.' he thought as he turned and started walking away.

"Those two become more interesting by the day." he called over his shoulder. "Flying machines, a new way to use chakra and advance medicine." he counted off as he moved into the shadows. "What else will they show me next?"

Once he was sure Orochimaru was gone, Kakashi allowed the Raikiri to fade as he went over Orochimaru's words in his head, specifically the part about the flying machines.

'We rarely hear anything from Kasugakure.' he thought as looked into the darkness surrounding him and Sasuke. 'Could they have really come so far as to create another method of flight that doesn't have anything to do with jutsu as well.'

"So Karin was telling the truth." Sasuke said, interrupting Kakashi's thoughts. "Orochimaru was using them as well."

"Hmm." Kakashi answered as he looked at Sasuke over his shoulder. "Whatever his interest in both them and you is, it won't end up good for anybody. Let's get back to the arena, I need to report this to the Hokage as soon as possible."

"Right."


With an explosion and a puff of smoke, Sasuke and Kakashi appeared just in time to see Sakura and Ino knock each other out.

"This match is a draw." Hayate called out as neither of the girls stirred. "Me-" he stopped as Asuma and Kakashi's clone jumped into the arena to check on both girls. Giving them a once over, they determined that they weren't seriously injured and picked them up before taking them to the railing and placing them up against the wall.

"Looks like they did great job." Kakashi commented as his clone rose to his feet and Lee, Naruto, Shikamaru and Chouji gathered before them.

"Hmm." the clone answered with a nod. "Sakura really pushed herself to her limits. I knew that Naruto and Sasuke had gotten stronger, but this match showed that she has been steadily growing as well, if she keeps going in that regard she'll become an incredible shinobi."

"No doubt about that." Asuma said as he smiled down at Ino before turning to Kakashi. "I haven't seen Ino push herself to win so at anything before. With Sakura as her rival I'm sure they're going to become strong in no time."

"You hear that Sasuke." Kakashi said to the young Uchiha. "Friends and rivals working together to become stronger."

"Hmm." Sasuke commented as he looked at Sakura's prone form, he hadn't seen her looking so beat or out of it since the encounter with the sound nin.

"Sasuke!" Naruto said to his friend and rival. "You really should have been here for that fight," he commented with a wide grin. "Sakura-chan was amazing! She just seemed to get stronger as they fought and when Ino caught her with her jutsu she broke out like it was nothing." he explained making exaggerated gestures with his hands.

"Oh!" Sasuke said as he raised an eyebrow. "Then you better go all out from the beginning, you wouldn't want to look bad out there."

"What?" Naruto exclaimed. "Sasuke-teme! Your not one to talk, you lost your match." he stated as he pointed his finger at him.

"True." Sasuke admitted with a shrug as he dug his hands in his pockets. "But was fighting the strongest person Karin knows."

"Huh?" Naruto said and frowned, as his hand dropped back to his side. "Why are you suddenly being friendly about Karin and Trunks."

"I tell you when Sakura wakes up."

"Right." Naruto replied with a smile. "Just make sure to-"

"Will the next two fighters step into the arena." Hayate called out getting everyone's attention.

In an instant, both Temari and Tenten where standing in the middle of the arena, waiting to do battle with each other.

"Tenten! Do your best." Lee called out as he waved his hands and everyone moved to watched the match.

"Use your power of youth!" Gai said as he moved to his student's side. As they cheered and the others watched the match Ino had woken and looked on as her team-mates and Sakura's team-mates stood by the railing looking down at the next match.

Turning to her side she saw as Sakura began to stir and let out a groan, as she moved.

"So your finally awake, Sakura." Ino said getting her rivals attention.

"Huh?" Sakura let out as she came to her senses. "I...I lost." she concluded with sadness in her voice as her eyes began to tear up.

"I should be the one that feels like crying." Ino said as she shook her head. "I ended up tieing with you in our first real match." Reaching beside her she grabbed Sakura's forehead protector. "Here, I wouldn't want you to lose it after everything that you went to fight me evenly."

"Ino." Sakura said as she took it and tied it to the top of her head. "Thank you."

"Heh, You've really bloomed into beautiful flower." Ino commented as she took her own forehead tied it around her waist. "But be prepared! because next time we fight I'm gonna win, that goes for Sasuke-kun too."

"Same to you!" Sakura responded with a glare as the girls growled at each other for a second.

"OI!" A familiar voice called from in front of them. Turning their heads they saw Sasuke looking down at them with an annoyed look. "Just so you know, there is no winning me or having me. I'll decided who I want to spend the rest of my life with."

This comment caused both girls to blush in embarrassment, at having been caught in one of their usual arguments about Sasuke.

"S-sasuke, It's not what it sounds like." Sakura said as she got to her feet and tried to explain herself. "We were just-"

"Forget it." Sasuke responded with a shake of his head, his voice lighter than Sakura could remember when it involved him and romance. "The next match just started, lets just watch."

"I'd love too." Ino said pushing Sakura aside. "After all, you could never learn enough from others."

"Pig!" Sakura yelled as she shoved her rival aside. "Sasuke-kun was asking me to-"

Suddenly and explosion went of in the arena and the three genin found themselves on the ground with Kakashi holding them down.

"You three need to pay closer attention." He said as he got up. "Or you could lose your head." he explained as he pointed at the shrapnel that got imbedded on the walls above them.


Several Minutes Earlier

"Begin." Hayate had ordered, with a slash of his hand.

Pulling out a set of kunai,Tenten jumped back to put some distance between them and through them at Temari to test her theory. As they covered the distance, they were suddenly moved aside to hit the ground about a foot away from blonde when she opened her fan from the bottom. 'So she does use wind jutsu.' Tenten confirmed as she took off to her left drawing more kunai and shuriken before throwing them from the girl's side.

When they met the same result, she moved to run around the other girl throwing more kunai and shuriken. She had run a full circle as she attacked, but she had met with the same result. All her projectiles getting redirected to the ground. 'She definitely has better control than Karin.' Tenten thought as she stopped back at her original position jumped back. 'Since she doesn't rely on the strength of her attacks alone, but let's see how strong her jutsu is.'

Pulling out a scroll from her pouch, Tenten took of in another run around Temari.

"This again?" Temari asked with smirk. "haven't you learned anything yet? Your attacks won't work on me." she boasted as she turned her head to see the younger girl jump into the air and perform several flips as she unrolled the scroll.

Rolling her eyes, Temari grabbed the fan by its top with her right hand as Tenten spun around in the air. The unrolled scroll spinning around her, placing her hands on the side of the unrolled scrolls. Tenten summoned several different weapons, ranging from kunai, to scythe's each and every one of then wrapped up with a white piece of paper and threw them at Temari.

The thirty projectiles had gotten about three feet from the blonde, when she pulled her fan from behind her in a quick motion and sent them all crashing into the ground around her.

When Tenten landed on the ground, Temari had been waiting for her with her fan open and a smile on her face.

"This is the first star." Temari said as she showed off the purple cirlce on her fan. "When you see all three stars, you're goin to lose."

"You better bring all those stars bare, if you don't want to die." Tenten responded as she brought the scroll in front of her and tapped it; summoning a shield a little but larger than her. Dropping the scroll Tenten brought her hands together and the papers on the weapons started to burn.

"What?" Temari said as she looked at the projectiles before looking back at the other girl who had hidden behind her shield. 'Damn it!' she thought as she jumped back clearing the bast radius several seconds before the projectiles exploded; sending shrapnel in every direction.

Bringing her fan in front of her, Temari made her self as small as possible as she used its metal covering as shield. While most of the projectiles hit the covering, she felted as some of them cut at her skin before one of them imbedded itself on her left leg.

"Aaauh!" she cried out as and stumbled to the ground once she hit the floor. 'I can't believe I was so careless.' Temari criticized herself as she used her fan to bring herself to her feet and support her weight.

"Way to go, Tenten!" Lee called out from the railings. "This match is yours!"

Tenten for her part didn't respond as she brought herself out from behind her shield. 'It worked!' she thought with happiness. 'Now I just have to finish this.'

"I'm going to give you one chance," Tenten called out to the blonde. "Give up now or I'll injure you further!"

"Give up?" Temari asked her face in a grimace. "I'm far from done." responded her voice laced with anger. "Didn't I tell you, once you see the third star you lose."

"Have your way." Tenten responded as threw her shield aside and pulled out to new scrolls. Slamming the scrolls on the ground, Tenten made sure the stayed up right before bring her hands together and forming hand seals. "Soshoryu!" Tenten called out as the scrolls exploded into the air, with smoke shaped like dragons. Jumping up after them, Tenten summoned three times the amount of weapons than the first scroll as she spun around the and launched them at the blonde.

Pushing off with her fan, Temari spun to her right balancing on her right foot and opened her fan completely, exposing all three circles on them.

"Ninpou Kamaitachi!" she called out as she came to face the projectiles and swung the fan. Creating a controlled whirlwind that threw all the weapons aside and proceed to hit Tenten head on.

The whirlwind trapped Tenten inside and the air currents began to cut at her body as it took her further into the sky. Before depositing her out towards Temari, who closed her fan and pushed off into a spin again and used her fan like a baseball bat to throw Tenten's body aside. Tenten hit the ground with a grunt, bounce off and hit it again before her body rolled to a stop.

Hayate, who had taken cover when the attack had happened looked on as Tenten stayed on the ground unmoving.

"The winner is Temari." he called out before calling for the medical crew.


Once the arena's cleared of all stray weapons, the next fight had been between Nara Shikamaru and Kin Tsuchi another of the sound nin. The fight itself had been less eventful than the others, but the use of sound to cast genjutsu and shadows to reposition the enemy. Had made the fight one of the more interesting ones, as it showed the off the abilities of ninja who work using more than just the physical abilities. During the fight, Shikamaru had show off and ability for strategy that could change quickly as the situation calls for.

When he had Kin where he needed her, Shikamaru had used his ability to lock his opponents movements with his own to force the sound nin to knock herself out, winning him the fight.

Declaring Shikamaru the winner, Hayate had called for the next contestants as the electronic bulletin began to choose. It hadn't taken long this time and the bulletin had stopped on Inuzuka Kiba and Uzamaki Naruto.

"Yes!" Naruto called out with a smile. "It's finally my turn! I can finally show off all my awesome skills."

"Like I said," Sasuke spoke as he smirked at his friend and rival. "Try not look to badly out there."

"Sasuke!" Naruto growled out with pout. "Stop trying to act cool, you already lost your match."

"Hmm." Sasuke admitted with a nod. "But I'm sure I didn't look like an idiot while I was fighting."

"Why you-"

"Alright you two, cut it out!" Sakura said as she got between them. "Sasuke-kun don't get Naruto angry before his match." she repreminded as she pointed at him. "Naruto just ignore Sasuke-kun and concentrate on your opponent." she said as she turned to her blonde friend.

"But Sakura-chan!"

"No buts!" she said as she grabbed him by the shoulders and turned him and started to push him towards the stairs. "You have a fight to win and you shouldn't be concentrating on Sasuke, and Naruto," she paused as they reach the stairs and turned him back to her. "Thank you for what you did back then." she nodded towards the ring. "If you hadn't spoken up when you did, Ino would have made me quit the match." she explained with a small smile. "So thank you for giving me the chance to fight back."

Naruto was a little shocked for a second, but after blinked he brought his arms to the top of his head and linked his hands together behind it with a grin.

"Hehe!" he chuckled as he closed his eyes. "Your welcome Sakura-chan!"

"Uzumaki Naruto, get down to the arena if you don't want to get disqualified." Hayate called sounding impatient for the fight to start.

"Aahh!" Naruto yelled and ran down the stairs. "Wait, wait, wait!" he called as he went.

"Hehehehe!" Sakura giggled as she watched him go. 'Naruto, don't ever change.'

Kiba stood in the middle of the arena waiting impatiently for Naruto to get here so that he could beat him. Tapping his foot, he watched as Sakura started to push Naruto towards the stairs, 'Finally.' he thought as his face broke out into a grin. The grin soon fell when Sakura stopped pushing towards the stairs and turned him to her before starting a conversation. 'How am I suppose to show off my skill and beat him if he takes this long?' he asked himself in aggravation.

As if sensing his impatient the judge spoke up.

"Uzumaki Naruto," he began, his voice as impatient as he was feeling. "Get down to the arena if you don't want to get disqualified."

That had gotten Naruto going and as the blonde boy ran towards the center of the arena; Kiba's grin returned in full force. 'This is gonna be easy.' he thought as he remembered all the blunders that Naruto preformed during the academy days. 'This guy couldn't have gotten strong enough to make it here on his own since the academy.'

"I'm here!" Naruto said as he stopped in front of Hayate, who pointed to his side of the arena. "Oh, right." he said and moved to stand in front of Kiba.

"Heh," Kiba let out as he raised an eyebrow. "This really gonna be easy."

"What did you say?" Naruto asked as he glared at the Inuzuka.

"You heard me! Akamaru and I are going to win this fight with no problem."

"Huh?" Naruto asked as he looked down slightly to see the tiny white dog. "OI, judge! Is he allowed to use his dog during our match?"

"Of course I am." Kiba responded as he glared at Naruto. "Ninken have always been allowed to alongside their masters, this no different."

"But it's two against one!" Naruto argued back and looked at Hayate for confirmation.

"As Ninken are tools used during battle, Akamaru will be allowed to participate." Hayate answered. "Now, begin!"

Jumping back to make some distance between himself and Kiba. Naruto maded the hand Seals for the Kage Bushin, "Kage B-" was as far as he got when Kiba launched Akamaru at him.

Akamaru but down on Naruto's left hand, causing him to scream and try to shake the dog off. While he's distracted, Kiba ran forward and covered the distance between them quickly; punched Naruto in the stomach with his left and upper cut him on the chin with his right. As the upper cut on his chin had thrown Naruto back to the ground, Akamaru had let go and landed next to Kiba.

"You see," Kiba said as he watched Naruto get to his feet. "It's just like I said, this one would be easy. You've spent so much time goofing off in the academy that there's no way you could beat me in a fight." he boasted as Akamaru barked in acknowledgement.

"Heh, you think so?" Naruto asked as he threw himself back on his feet and through a kunai at Akamaru; forcing the dog to jump to the side and separate from Kiba.

"Akamaru!" Kiba called out worried for his friend and partner.

"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" Naruto said at the same time, creating three clones. "I'm not the same guy who you played hooky in the academy with." stated as Kiba turned to growl at him.

"I'll make you pay for that." Kiba said as he ran towards Naruto and his clones, Akamaru at his side.

Pulling out a kunai each, Naruto and his clones through them at Akamaru forcing the dog to start dodging. When Kiba reached them, two of his clone made for Akamaru while he and the other clone fought against Kiba.

When Kiba had thrown a punch with his right, Naruto moved into it and planted his feet on the ground. Letting the forehead protector take the blunt of the blow, he grabbed Kiba's arm by the wrist an elbow and twisted to his right; trapping the Inuzuka in an arm lock. His clone jumped forward and drove his knee into Kiba's face; throwing Kiba back and forcing him to let go before they continued with their attack.

To Kiba, this fight had just become more intense; as the two Naruto punched at him from all sides forcing him to dodge block or parry. 'When the hell did he become this strong?' he asked himself as he parried one of the punches to his left, causing that Naruto to stumble to the side. But before he could capitalize on it the other Naruto jumped and kicked at his head; ducking down he avoided the kick only to get kicked in the face when the clone who was off balance placed his hand on the ground and turned the stumble into a low spin kick.

The force of the kick had sent him rolling backwards for several seconds before he stopped facing the ceiling. Seeing Naruto's orange jump suit as the blonde boy jumped in the air his legs pulled up to his chest, Kiba rolled out-of-the-way as he landed with both feet stomping on the ground. Putting his feet under him, Kiba used his left hand to balance himself as he sweeped Naruto's feet from under him. Before putting all his weight in to kicking the falling blond on the side sending him rolling back.

Suddenly the other Naruto slid on the ground from behind, kicking his left arm off the ground before kicking him in the back into the air.

As he gets thrown into the air Kiba heard Akamaru yelp, and forced himself to turn towards him. To see him being muzzled and tied down by the other two, 'Bastard!' he thought in rage at the way they treated his friend. From the sound of explosions and the sudden increase in Naruto's scent, told Kiba that the blond was getting ready to finish him, 'We see about that!'

Once his accent had started to faded Kiba began to spin in the air, making his body into a whirlwind of action as he quickly headed for the ground and the waiting group of clones.

"Tsuga!" he called out as he put on a burst of speed and crashed down on the clones like a meteor.

"Auugh!" the clones cried out as he ripped through them and they exploded in a puff of smoke.

Landing on the ground on all fours, Kiba's body's covered in small tendrils of chakra around his body as he prepared his next attack.

"I'll make you pay for what you did to Akamaru!" he yelled out before calling his next jutsu. "Shikyaku no Jutsu!" he called and shot off on all fours with in crediable speed, towards the two clones that had tied down Akamaru.

Reaching them before they could do anything other than reach into their kunia pouches; Kiba grabbed their heads and smashed them together before flipping over their heads and stomping down on them, creating an audible crack as they hit the ground.

Seeing the brutal way that Kiba had taken out his clones, Naruto created nine more as the other boy's distracted cutting his friend out and ran forward. Pulling out another kunai from their pouches, five of the clones through them at Kiba's back. Who sensing the attack coming thanks to his enhance senses; jumped into the air with Akamaru in his arms. While he was in the air Naruto and his other four clones threw their kunai at Kiba while the other five preformed hand seals.

"Tsuga!" Kiba called and moved out-of-the-way, making sure to keep the still tied Akamaru secured in his arms.

Seeing their chance, the five clone that attacked first, used the kage bushin to create nine more clones each. Before coming together and creating two human latters, that caught up to the still spinning Kiba and grabbed him trapping his arms and legs. Being grabbed so suddenly had surprised Kiba and he let go of the still tied Akamaru in the air.

"Akamaru!" Kiba yelled for his friend seeing him leave his grasp.

Running forward with two of his clones at his side, Naruto had them pull away from him and stop; their arms linked together. Jumping on their arms the two clones ducked and threw Naruto through the air as he jumped of their arms. Turning in mid-air, Naruto grabbed the falling Akamaru and passed Kiba on his way up.

Doing flip he position his body above Kiba, his legs aiming for the other boys shoulder.

"Uzumaki Takedown!" Naruto called out as he planted his feet on Kiba's shoulders just as his clones began pulling the other down towards the ground. With crashing sound and multiple explosions as the clones disappeared, the two boys are covered in a cloud of smoke.


Before I talked about how I believe all humans have a chakra network even if they are from and alternate universe. Now GenoBeast had given me a theory about how the network is more of away for how the Hyuuga see the flow of chakra and while I like his idea better than mine, I'm going to go with mine because I think I can work with it better. Now my theory is that the chakra network is actually the tissue that surrounds and protects the veins arteries and, when a human starts using chakra constantly like the ninja's in Naruto do, that tissue becomes more developed and profound allowing chakra to flow to the rest of the whole body with ease.
