"Where the hell is Naruto?!" Questioned Sakura to everyone and no one. The pink haired girl looked around, worried for her teammate. Next to her was her Frenemie and Rival Ino Yamanaka.

"Typical Naruto. Talks big and can't even deliver half as good. Guess we should have known he would chicken out. I just wanna see Sasuke-Kun fight that Gaara freak. I can't wait to see what new jutsu he's gonna pull out. Maybe he-" Ino continued to drone on and on much to the ignorance of Sakura who just stared at Neji from her spot high in the arena stands.

'No one has seen him since he left to train after the preliminary rounds. Naruto wouldn't just up and leave like that. I hope something didn't happen to him.'

Similar thoughts were going on in the head of Hatake Kakashi, in the Jonins booth. He had decided to cut training with Sasuke short to wish his other student luck against Hyuuga Neji to find no one had seen him at all. He was beginning to worry because there were only 60 seconds before his match would start and he would lose by default.

"Ah Naruto, you really are a knucklehead."

To his left Might Guy, Green Beast of Konoha, was surprisingly calm instead of firing off nonsense shouts about youth. "I would hope your student didn't get cold feet Kakashi. But I would prefer that next to another alternative considering his tennant. With all of these foreign villages here, and him being who he is, it isn't far out there to assume he was taken in all of the preparations for the finals."

Kakashi thought this over, but his expression betrayed nothing. Instead of responding he lifted his book and slowly said, "Hm? Did you say something?"

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Quiet Guy. The match is starting," said Kurenai from beside him.

Neji smirked as he saw that his opponent had not shown up. He looked at Hinata in the stands and gave her a dark grin. He saw her disappointed face and nearly laughed at the fact she got her hopes up about some rookie dead last even competing against him.

A few feet in front of him, Genma the proctor for the finals, stepped forward and raised his hand. "By forfeit and-" "FWOOSH."

In a swirl of leaves was Uzumaki Naruto in all his glory, but instead of the usual goofy smile, he wore a serious face that clearly showed disgust. He surprisingly only wore white trunk shorts and a plain shirt. He wore nothing else including his headband and shoes. No weapons on him either making the illusion he was confident enough to win without them. Neji sneered at him while Naruto only hardened his expression.

Genma looked between the two and sighed. "Just don't kill each other. Its gonna be on my ass if I don't save you."

The proctor backed up and raised his hand high in the air. "I'm glad you didn't get cold feet. Would have been a shame if I didn't get to beat you down in front of Hinata."

"Shut up Neji. I have no time for your games so if you do not forfeit you're wasting my time, and if you waste my time…."

Before he could begin, both boys heard, "HAJIME!" Neji immediately ran forward, but before he even got their he activated his byakugan and almost collapsed by what he saw. The entire arena filled with some misty substance blocking his view completely. The pure intensity it gave off made his head shake and he screamed loudly.

He watched as it came off in waves of darkness from its producer. Uzumaki Naruto.

This wasn't chakra. This feeling was too deep. Too dark for it to be Chakra. It wasn't necessarily evil. It felt like he was drowning in an endless ocean of the mist, clouding him in it he couldn't breath. This was too much for even him. As the mist continued to spread, it began seeping into his own body. Every hole in his body was fed the substance as he felt like he was drowning. He inhaled it, he saw only Mist and his senses began to go haywire.

He could smell nothing, even though he inhaled it in his nostrils. He felt nothing, he heard nothing and it tasted nothing. He could only see it, and sense it inside of him. Taking over like he was uncomfortable in his own body. He didn't realize he was sweating the entire time and Neji collapsed due to exhaustion.

The crowd was silent. The Dead Last, Demon Brat, Uzumaki Naruto had made Neji Hyuuga collapse without even trying. That's when they noticed his eyes. They weren't that cheerful blue they were so used to seeing. Nor were they the red eyes of the Kyuubi. His eyes were completely blank. Nothing in them. And unlike the Hyuugas white, his eyes were black, as if he were possessed.

Naruto didn't move at all.

In the competitors box everyone was shocked. Sasuke's eyes were open and he held the Sharingan that way the entire match to find no jutsu had been used. Naruto had either fluked or he had a sealless jutsu that nobody knew about. Sasuke squeezed the banister. 'What the hell?! He's the dead last! Was he faking all this time? To be able to stop Neji without moving a muscle…'

Shikamaru was surprised as well even being the "Genius" he was. 'Has Naruto been strong this entire time? Or was he given this power?'He continued to watch Naruto closely, taking note of his eyes as well. "Hmm."

Two of the sand siblings, Kankuro and Temari were speechless. The third sibling, Gaara was intrigued the most, but last interest the fastest as well. 'They are all weaklings. I'll kill him when it comes to it.'

Shino stood motionless, no thoughts in his head, and no expression on his face. He only watched Uzumaki closely.

The crowd was stunned. The rest of the Konoha 12 sat baffled by the display. TenTen sputtered. "W-what did he do to Neji? I didn't even see him move!" No one else could say anything. Ino had her mouth open, Shino's bugs tempted to fly inside. Kiba was animalistically growling, his fist clenched harder than Sasuke's was.

"He had that up his sleeve the whole time?! He must not have thought I was worth his time to even use it on! I'll show him!" He heard a bark of confirmation from Akumaru. The crowd snapped out of shock, going into an uproar.

Sakura just stared at her teammate. 'What did Naruto go through this past month?'

Might Guy was speechless. He had expected Neji to win 100%, but deep down he was hoping that Naruto could knock some sense into him. But to have him lose so quick and effortlessly almost made him blush. Kakashi stood next to him, his eye wide enough that they didn't need the rest of his face to find out his expression.

"What the hell did you teach him Kakashi?" Asuma asked almost accusingly.

Kakashi ignored him, but secretly wondered the same. 'Could Jiraiya have taught him this?'

'My brethren would be severely disappointed with the Hyuugas and how they turned out.'Naruto only nodded as he listened to Hagoromo.

'My apologies Naruto, but my energy is fading. I could only empower you this once before I had to fade away. Remember what I told you. Stick to the plan and stay on your toes. We must not let this world fall into perel and this is the only way to do it.'

'I understand. Thank you for your assistance Otsutsukii-Sama.' thought Naruto. He didn't hear a reply as he felt a significant amount of power drain from him. He still had the Kyuubi's chakra to sustain him, but he was barely standing upright with nothing, but demonic chakra to feed him for a month.

Child. I feel the Genjutsu. The invasion has begun. Restrain Shukaku before it is too late, said the Kyuubi. Naruto nodded before yelling out to Gaara.

"SHUKAKU! BRING YOUR SANDY ASS HERE YOU RACCOON FACED FUCK!" yelled Naruto. There was only so long before he could keep up the 'Intimidating tough guy act' ruining all chances of him looking cool.

Naruto's blue eyes returned, but they were beginning to turn slightly feral. He could feel the Kyuubi's youki rushing his arms and his body lighting up.

Gaara was up on the banister when he suddenly heard screeching coming from Shukaku.

I WANT HIS BLOOD! MOTHER WANTS HIS BLOOD! KILL THE FOX!

Gaara smiled evilly and disappeared in a sand shunshin and reappeared on the field. "UZUMAKI I HAVE COME TO KILL YOU! MOTHER WANTS TO BATHE IN YOUR BLOOD!" Gaara raised a fist, grains of sand copying his movements to form a 10 foot fist raised just above the blonde wonders head.

Naruto smiled mischievously as he felt the red chakra begin to surround him. His body features began to change, as his whiskers thickened and his canines grew considerably. His black fingernails grew to one inch in height.

Naruto realized the people in the stadium suddenly falling asleep. He cursed as he forgot that people were still here. What the hell was the Hokage thinking not escorting civilians?! The fox-boy sped off out of the stadium as gaara's sand propelled him after him.

"STOP RUNNING UZUMAKI!"

Naruto smirked as he reached the outskirts of Konoha. Behind him and lifted on a 20 foot tall sand construct gaara looked hungrily at Naruto, like a piece of meat to be gobbled up. "Mother wants to bathe in your blood Naruto, and I will certainly fulfill her wish."

Naruto only rubbed his head sheepishly. "Hehe, yea I'm kinda impossible to kill, but you don't have to stop trying though. But before we fight one serious question," he said, a mischievous smile back on his face. "What happens when you kill everyone in the world? Will your mother die or will you just kill yourself?"

Naruto figured he didn't want to talk because he narrowly avoided another sand fist. "Guess you don't wanna talk. Oh well."

Back in the Arena, Sasuke was pissed the fuck off. He had recently been woken up from the genjutsu and he wanted to kick Otogakures ass for ruining his fight. What was even worse was that he was told to, 'Escort Civilians,' by Kakashi before he promptly left him and went off with some weird eyebrow freak to somewhere Sasuke didn't care about at the moment.

'I'm not going to get strong enough to defeat Itachi by wondering around and helping citizens,' he thought as he looked at the Chaos around him.

BOOM

Sasuke turned his head to find an explosion of sand almost fifty feet looked agitated, as he glanced between the civllians and the rest of the rookies, towards where he believed gaara was.

Hey guys, just wanted to clear some things up. First Naruto is not OP. In fact he didn't train at all for over a month, and he is currently on a low stomach. I also didn't let the fight between Sasuke and Gaara happen for two reasons. 1) I am horrible at fight scenes you've seen this above. 2) I wanted Naruto to fight Gaara at full health, but by the looks of it that wont go on for too long if Sasuke goes through with his plan. I'll gladly answer any questions you guys have. If I cannot get to you in reviews I'll do it next chapter which I am planning to have in about a week. Love to all, and I appreciate all criticism (BTW Criticism not hate. If you don't like it and you feel it can be improved without interfering too much in the plot please tell me. But if you're just constantly saying how it sucks because it doesn't match your preferences just leave. It doesn't suit you and there is nothing i can do about that.) Also I know these chapters are short and may be a bit under detailed, but I promise from now I'll make longer scenes.
