Hey there everyone, sorry about the long Hiatus, been extra busy with personal business and had a hard time working on this. But seeing as I've got time again I'll be resuming the work on this, as well as hopefully putting up a pole on a potential story idea for you all to enjoy. But for now, I'll skip to the part we all love

Naruto Reborn: Sasuke Uchiha

Chapter 3 pg 5

After the match between Sakura and Ino came to conclusion the board lit up, scrolling through a list of names before stopping on two that made Naruto cringe in memory

Tenten vs Temari

This match had been devastating when Naruto had seen it the first time, and he remembered that the Sand girl hadn't even been scratched the first time. He also remembered wanting to wipe the arrogant smirk off her face when he saw it, and this time he had a plan.

When both combatants entered the arena they gave their own confident smiles before getting into their respective stances. Tenten started it off by unleashing a few shuriken at her fellow ranged fighter, to which she received a shock as they seemed to harmlessly deflect off thin air.

Testing this again she dashed to the left, releasing a few kunai and shuriken at random intervals to see why they didn't connect. Each time the fan wielding girl would move slightly and the weaponry would again fall harmlessly to the ground, the confident smirk never leaving the girl's lips.

Giving an annoyed grunt Tenten jumped into the air, drawing a scroll and unleashing three large spiked ball objects at Temari, finally revealing the girl's trick as she was forced to swing her fan harder in order to blow them away. Now revealed that her fan was partially open the sand female spoke.

"As you can see, my fan gives me quite a strong defense, as well as offensive capability. And when the full moon is shown," She paused, allowing Tenten to see the crescent moon image on her fan. "This battle will be over"

"We'll see about that!" Tenten retorted as she summoned dual swords from her scroll and charged, beginning a plan to take down the girl's wind style defense, little did she know she was giving Naruto time to prepare his own plan.

With every attack and move Tenten made it seemed to be impossible to hit the fan wielder, weapons and scuffed up dirt covering the field as she moved, attacking and dodging everywhere. And what was worse, the fan was now almost completely open.

Every attack from Temari seemed to get stronger with every partial opening of the fan, the battle seemed to be getting more and more hopeless. But she wasnt about to go down without a fight, not a chance. Pulling out two scrolls she pulled out all the stops for this attack.

"Ninja Art: Twin Dragon Scrolls" She called out as she jumped high into the air, spinning rapidly while unfurling the scrolls into a shape reminiscent to two dragons swirling around each other. Touching the seals on the scrolls she summoned weapons and launched them at Temari with pinpoint accuracy, bringing down a hellish rain of metal.

Temari hefted her fan up, preparing to open the final notch, only to find that she couldn't. Looking at her fan she was shocked to see a small wire holding it from opening all the way, causing her to gasp. -When did she have time to do that?!- She mentally questioned as she turned and felt a sting on her cheek, followed by something warm running down it. She didn't have time to check it though, as she was forced to raise her fan in defense as the hellish rain came down on her. She was cut several times by the attacks as she tried to hold up her guard until the end, finally growing tired of this she growled.

Turning slightly when she felt the opportunity she let a kunai cut the wire on her fan before opening it all the way, grunting in strain she unleashed a full strength swing and let loose a hurricane of wind. The wind formed a tornado around Tenten, picking up many of her weapons as the wind and metal worked in tandem to cut the poor girl up

Tenten could only scream in agony as she was slashed up by the wind and her own weapons, being held in place until the winds finally died out and allowed her to fall.

Seeing the girl beginning to fall Temari closed her fan and hurled it, letting it land beneath the girl so that she would land in a spine breaking pose. She was confused though, when the sound of the girl landing didn't hit her ears. However, the sound of her own fan hitting the wall mere inches from her head certainly warranted attention, especially after a certain raven haired male landed on it.

*In The Stands*

Up in the stands Ami and Hinata were left in shock as the place where Sasuke had once been was empty, and the bar he'd been holding was dented from the force in which he'd taken off to rescue Tenten.

*Back In The Field*

Said bun haired girl was being held bridal style by Sasuke, unconscious and unmoving after the hurricane attack by Temari.

The aforementioned fan wielder looked in shock as the Sharingan user glared down at her with enough malice that most grown men would soil themselves.

"Consider yourself lucky that the rules prevent me from doing anything else without disqualifying Tenten, or you'd be in a world of pain for this." Naruto said, he knew that technically Temari had broken no rules with her attack, but that didn't mean he had to like it.

"Tenten is unable to continue, the winner is Temari!" The proctor announced, waving a hand toward the cowering Sand female. The female said nothing as Sasuke tapped his foot on the fan, making it angle down to the ground and allowing him to slide down to the ground. Handing Tenten off to the medical nin he then began walking back to the stands silently.

Temari couldn't help but shiver a bit as she pulled her fan from the wall, if the rules hadn't prevented him, what might he have done? The thought brought chills down her spine.

After the field had been cleared, the next matchup appeared on the board. One that Naruto felt needed no real manipulation, though he did very much enjoy watching Shikamaru knock the girl's head on the wall. He even activated his Sharingan to memorize the details to play Over and over, but he did however narrow his eyes as he sent a shadow clone to follow as Kin was taken away.

The next match however did bring Naruto back to attention, being Ami vs Xiba Inuzuka and her dog Akamaru

Both females made their way down to the arena, glaring at each other with their own cocky smirks plastered on their lips.

"Any last words before I whip you and claim Sasuke for myself?" Xiba said, causing Naruto to sink back slightly and hide himself. Obito laughed slightly, but Ami and Hinata seemed much less amused as Hinata clenched her fists on the bar and Ami punched her palm and glared. Pointing a finger at Xiba she surprisingly said nothing, but did a roman style sideways thumb, then pointed her thumb down in the "Execution" motion.

"Cocky little-" Xiba said, then dashed forward as she and Akamaru jumped to use Taijutsu as their opening move.

Ami slowly slipped into a loose mix between a boxer stance and gentle fist: One hand held out straight with palm open, the other hand close to her chest with her fist closed. Sliding her left foot back a bit and pointing her toes to the left she then lightly bent her right knee and closed her eyes. This action alone caused several people to look shocked, but Hinata seemed to smirk, having been working on mixing their styles to better complement their teamwork together.

"Welcome to the show, the Trickster fist" Hinata and Ami whispered softly.

And stop! Sorry all, but this is one of the battles I've been waiting for! So the next chapter will go toward this, hehe.

Next Time

"The Trickster Fist and The Gentle Trickster!"
