Chapter 10: Wolf vs Fox
Tower
"It is the turn of Sabaku no Kankuro, Menma and Rias GemStrong!" he said. As the Genins were going down, Naruto couldn't keep his eyes off her. She was certainly one of the most breathtaking women he had ever laid eyes on. She had long crimson hair, the colour of blood and blue eyes, two sapphires in a sea of white. She had an amazing body, with wide hips, a perfect rear and massive breasts, as big as Tsunade's, to his surprise. She wore a red skirt, connected to a white and purple shirt. She also wore white stockings and brown boots. Her casual clothing draw some confusion but mostly stares. As she walked, she gave a wink to Naruto. He didn't do anything on the outside, but on the inside, he was trying to calm down, as 70% of his inner self was telling him to go down there and claim her, while the other 30% to watch out, as her power seemed off. He kept that warning for later, as the proctor said "Begin!" with another cough, his 164th so far.
Menma, a boy of medium height, with maroon hair and brown eyes, wearing a blue bodysuit, with silver armor and Kankuro whistled as they looked at her. Menma, the third person in the team of Naruto's sisters, slowly approached her winking "Hey babe. Want to go have some fun later on?" he said, wiggling his eyebrows. She simply smirked, raising her finger in a 'Come here' motion. The boy simply smirked and when he was a few feet away, she disappeared, only to reappear, snapping her fingers. The ground where Menma stood exploded in a flash of red light. Once it was gone, only ash stood there. She turned to Kankuro, her palm lighting up with red energy. He dropped to the ground, raising his arms in pure terror "I-I surrender!" he cried out. Rias simply smirked, the energy disappearing. Hayate shook his head coughing "Winner Rias Gemstrong!" he said, with Rias going up the stairs.
As she passed Naruto, a smirk formed on her face. Naruto smirked as well, though on the inside, his alarms were going haywire 'What was that energy? It felt like Youki, which is impossible, yet more condensed, powerful and destructive. It wasn't Aura either. No Holy being uses power in the open like that. Could she be a metahuman, possessing unique energy hybrid? I will need to learn more during the Finals' he thought. Hayate said, cutting him from his train of thought " Kurotsuchi, Sasame Fuma and Neji Hyuga!" he said, with Naruto turning at the Fuma name 'A Fuma..'
he thought looking at her. She had long orange hair and brown eyes. She would look like a relative to Orihime, if her figure wasn't as childish. 'Yet again, she isn't older than 13.' Naruto thought. She wore a violet sleeveless shirt, olive shorts and a blue hat. She stood into a stance, eyeing her opponents, as Kurotsuchi did the same with a smirk and Neji fell on his Gentle Fist stance. "Begin!"
Neji was the first to act, rushing towards Sasame, hoping to deal with her in one attack. He sent a palm thrust towards her chest, only for her to use Kawarimi. She reappeared on another part of the Arena, sending Kunai at him. He blocked them with one of his own and rushed but had to dodge a Great Fireball from Kurotsuchi. He frowned and went to her, she doing the same, her hands coated in Rock. She sent a fist forward, only for Neji to dodge and send a palm strike to her arm, only for her to raise her fist, punching the rock. The match continued for a while, Kurotsuchi's rock defense keeping Neji to a stalemate. However, none of them noticed Sasame. Silently, like a true Ninja, she kept doing a large amount of hand seals. Once she reached the Ram Seal, a large pulse of Chakra was sent out, alerting them, but it was too late "Bringer of Darkness!" Suddenly, Neji and Kurotsuchi's field of vision was covered in darkness. Neji tried to use his Byakugan, only to see it not working to his horror.
Both him and Kurotsuchi then suddenly felt a slash at their bicep, causing them to hold it in pain. Neji then felt a stab at his palm, as Kurotsuchi felt one on her right leg. This kept going, with Kurotsuchi and Neji unable to find her, even with their other sense. After a slash at his other palm. Neji had enough and started spinning "Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven!" he yelled, forming a spiralling dome of Chakra. Sasame, who was close to hit him again, was sent back from the force. Kurotsuchi, feeling the spike of Chakra, made hand seals "Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!" she said, a Giant Dragon of Stone rushing at the Kaiten. It hit it, causing an explosion. With the Genjutsu vanishing after Sasame was hit, Kurotsuchi could now see clearly, so could Neji.
Kurotsuchi took out a Kunai and rushed at Sasame, Neji following. Sasame growled as she threw Shuriken at them, then Kunai with explosive notes. "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!" "Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven!". The shuriken bounced off and the Explosive notes cancelled the Jutsu, but did not halt the approach. Sasame skidded back a few feet, taking out 4
ringless kunai, holding two on each hand. Both Kurotsuchi and Neji attacked her, forcing her to the defensive. Sasame lasted for a while, but eventually she was overpowered by the combined assault. Neji with three palm strikes closed off some Chakra points, then Kurotsuchi with an upper-cut to her chin, threw her her in the air, with Neji appearing above, a palm strike to her chest, sending her straight to the wall. However, Neji spat out blood, as Kurotsuchi appeared behind him, a Kunai on his ribs. She then grabbed him from the neck and threw him on the ground, taking out the Kunai in a gush of blood. As Neji fell, she did hand seals "Water Release: Water Trumpet!" she said, releasing a large jet of water that crashed head first into Neji, pushing him into the ground. Once the water cleared, Neji was unconscious. "Winner Kurotsuchi!" said Hayate, causing her to smirk and go up the stairs.
As the match ended, Naruto, along with Shikamaru and Sasuke, who had returned with a bandaged shoulder, were each thinking the same lines 'That Iwa nin is more powerful than the average Chunin. She can use Taijutsu with finesse and can command three Chakra Natures. And that Fuma clan member was also capable. Her strategy was flawless in that situation, but she should have went for the kill. If not, she could of at least attack a point that would send them to unconsciousness. Oh well. Maybe the next match will be even better.' they thought. However, drops of sweat fell on the Genin's faces, as the arena's temperature grew as cold as when Haku released her power.
Hayate looked alarmed "Inuzuka Kiba, Namikaze Naruto and… Uzumaki Naruto." he said.
Every person went to the end of the railing, as Naruto was slowly walking towards the arena. Sasuke looked scared and so did Shikamaru. As they went down, they formed a triangle shape. Kiba looked smug, Naruko looked sad and Naruto looked agitated.
"Begin!" said Hayate.
Kiba looked at Akamaru "You won't be needed right now Akamaru. Sit nearby until I fight with the Namikaze girl." he said, then turned to Naruto and sneered "Yo loser!
Do us all a favor and just give up!" he said, with Naruto merely turning to Naruko.
She looked to the ground then to him "I agree Onii-sama. I know you're strong, but there is no way you can defeat me." she said. Up in the stands, Hiruzen, Kakashi, Sasuke and Shikamaru sighed 'Well, there goes the chance to avoid a bloodbath.' they thought. Naruto's bangs were covering his face. However, soon chuckle started rising, then laughter. It kept going louder, as Naruto looked at her, a crazed grin at his face. He narrowed his eyes as his grin widened, as Dark Gold Chakra rolled of him in waves. In just a few seconds, it reached S-Rank output, causing Kiba to fall unconscious from the sheer power, along with some remaining weak Genins, the strongest ones falling to their knees, as the Sensei's and the Hokage sweated. He bared his fangs to her, as his eyes glowed "No match you say? Let's put that theory to the test shall we?" he said in an eerie tone, as he disappeared.
Suddenly, Naruto felt her nose break, as a punch from Naruto send her flying into a wall. Spider webs cracked as she slowly rose. Naruto placed an arm on his hip, his face angry "You know, I was gonna use Gokken here, or if I fought you or your sister, the Flying Swallow. It seemed fitting to be defeated by your precious Father's style. However" he said, falling into a stance that made some Jounin and the Hokage widen their eyes in fear "You made me change my mind. I haven't used this style for 2 years. Bound to make a spectacle." he said, disappearing. He rushed at Naruko, sending a fist at her arm, causing her to dodge, then jumping over a sweep kick, only to get hit in the stomach by a high kick. She was sent flying, however, Naruto appeared behind her in an instant and back handed her to the other side. He then appeared above her and sent a jump kick, dropping her to the ground. He then grabbed her and threw her slightly into the air, then send a repeating flurry of punches right into her gut, blood coming out of her mouth.
Up on the stands, Minato was tightly holding the railing, sweat forming on his face and fear in his eyes. He had told Naruko during the break not to aggravate Naruto under any circumstances, yet she just straight up told him he's weaker than her. He knew that Naruto was strong, as strong as him. He only prayed that Naruto would not kill her. Kushina, on the other hand was holding her mouth in fear, as tears went down her eyes. She felt flashbacks of her time with Naruko, then saw Naruto, all alone, beaten up. She cried out "Stop it Sochi! Please!" she yelled.
Sarutobi only shook his head. He didn't want Naruto to kill her, but he couldn't stop him.
Naruto kept punching her, as blood flew down on his face. Then he sent one strong punch to her face, then an uppercut to her chin "Rising Dragon!" he said, launching her high in the air. As she came down, she got hit by a flurry of spinning kicks from Naruto in mid-air "Tornado Whirlwind Leg!" he yelled. He disappeared and appeared on the ground. As she came crashing, he released a powerful step kick "High Level Leg Blade Kick!" he said, as Naruko went flying inside the wall. He slowly walked towards the rubble, but stopped as a large Killer Intent fell on the arena, as a large blast of red Youkai was released from the rubble. He dodged it, watching as it made a huge dent in the wall, then turned to Naruko with a smirk. Naruko was surrounded by a thick veil of Red Youki, her eyes blood red with slits, three Youki tails flowing behind her. She released a roar towards his way, shattering the ground, yet he stood still. He simply cracked his knuckles, then dashed at her, she doing the same. She swiped her claws at him, only for him to dodge and punch her face. She reared back, then sent him a powerful kick, making him skid back a few feet. She jumped at him, only for him to do a backflip, kicking her in the air. Then, as soon as his leg touched the ground, he pushed forward, doing a frontflip, kicking her again, crashing her into the ground.
He aimed his opened palm towards her, as a Golden Chakra Blast struck her at point blank range. He then grabbed her from the neck, the Youki barely damaging him, as he placed his hand at her stomach. Then, he sent a large wave of Chakra, as the world around them turned white.
Naruko opened her eyes, groaning. She blinked slowly, trying to remember what happened. All she could remember was pain and nothingness. However, memories of the battle in her Three Tailed State came rushing to her. She was surprised Naruto handled her like it was nothing. She looked down, only to her widened eyes to see she was tied in black chains. She turned, seeing the chains connected to Naruto's back.
He turned at her "Good you're awake." he said, then turned to Kyuubi. She did the same, only to widen her eyes in surprise. The cage was gone and so was the seal. In the place of an enormous Nine Tailed Fox, stood a small fox, the size of a dog. It also looked scared. "So, look how the almighty Kyuubi no Kitsune, Leader of the Demonic Kitsune, has fallen. I don't blame you though. Instead, I congratulate you for not warning dear Naruko here of who I really am. Now, I give you a choice. Give me what I came for freely and you will live another day. I will even give you a gift.
Try and stop me and you will die." he said with narrowed eyes "What do you say, Kurama?" he said, causing the now identified Kurama to widen his eyes. Then, he bowed lowly, his ears falling "I am under your command." it said, a large orb of Red Energy coming out of it's body, entering Naruto. Naruto smirked, releasing a burst of power, as his Dark Gold Chakra, turned slightly darker. He smirked as he sent a pulse towards the fox. Kurama widened it's eyes, as it started glowing, feeling pain. He then turned to Naruko "Once I leave your body will fall unconscious.
Be lucky I won't kill you. I won't kill your sister either, as long as neither of you stand in my way. Tell your sister to give up her match, or I will break her too, as I did you. If she doesn't her life will be fine." he said, causing Naruko to frown "What about Tou-Sama and Kaa-sama?" she asked, only for him to growl, causing her to yelp "Next time you mention them in my face like they did nothing, you will die." he promised, then continued "As for them, they will pay." he said, then turned to Kurama. "You know what to do Kurama." he said, as he disappeared, with the fox nodding. He turned to the shocked Naruko and smirked at her, then roared in the sky before his body disappeared. Naruko stood there for a second, then her world turned white.
Everyone looked with open mouths as Naruto touched Naruko's stomach. Suddenly, they saw the Chakra of the Kyuubi disappearing completely, Naruko collapsing to the ground and Naruto releasing a large wave of power, as his body crackled with lightning. He smirked, looking at the unconscious Naruko, then at the proctor. It took him a few seconds to realise, as he turned to Kiba, only to notice him still unconscious, having taken the full effect of Naruto's power. "Ehm. Winner is Uzumaki Naruto!" he said, with Naruto smirking and going up the stands. Everyone threw him looks of fear, with some women lust, but he ignored them all. He simply leaned back on the wall, closed his eyes and thought of his next plans. He did hear however, the next match "Yakumo Kurama, Hyuga Hinata and Suigetsu Hozuki." he said, with the Genins going to the Arena. "Begin!" he said.
Hinata and Yakumo nodded slightly at each other, as Hinata rushed at Suigetsu. She then threw a jab at him, only to widen her eyes, as she pierced his arm. But instead of blood, only water flew. She then dodged, thanks to her Byakugan, a kick from Suigetsu. Suigetsu took out his blade, blocking Shuriken courtesy of Yakumo. She frowned and took out a notebook, along with an ink brush "Hinata stall him!" she said, as she started drawing. Hinata nodded, going toe to toe with Suigetsu, despite the boy's superior strength and range. However, she never hit him once, too afraid to hurt him, or not knowing if it could work. Suigetsu noticed this and opened his arms midway to her attack, his chest wide open. She gasped her eyes stopping her attack.
He smirked, sending a strong punch to her stomach, causing her to gasp. He then grabbed her head and planted it face first into the ground with a smirk. Hinata went numb, her eyes rolled back. Suigetsu turned to Yakumo, only for his words to be covered in darkness. His body was turning to water against his will and he heard a shout of "This is for Hinata!" before he screamed in pain as lightning passed through his liquid body. In the real world, Suigetsu held his head in pain, as Yakumo had drawn a picture of a blinded, liquid Suigetsu getting hit by electricity. Eventually, Suigetsu fell unconscious from mental breakdown. Yakumo then approached Hinata and bowed to her, muttering an apology. Hayate looked towards Anko, having her do the final roll, as he said "Winner is Yakumo Kurama!" As she went upstairs, Hayate looked at the remaining names "Shino Aburame, Suzumebachi Kamizuru and Samui!" he said, the three Genins going down.
Naruto raised an eyebrow at Samui. She was standing at a medium high, with shoulder length blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He noticed her nice body and her growing D-Cup breasts. He shook his head, feeling hot again 'Damn. I know Shinju-sama said an increased libido, but this is ridiculous.' he thought. He simply observed as Hayate coughed and said begin.
Samui took out her Tanto, covering it in Lightning Chakra 'Both use insects for their attacks. And from what I see, they hold animosity towards each other. Cool. I will stay back and wait for the victor.' she thought. Suzumebachi summoned a swarm of bees, as Shino released his Kikaichu from his body. The insects swarmed and attacked each other, as Shino rushed at Suzumebachi. She tried to dodge a punch, only to fail, then get a kick on her ribs and a punch on her shoulder. She jumped back and summoned bees that shot their stingers at him. He got pierced, only to reveal the insect clone. The insects again swarmed the bees. Shino appeared behind Suzumebachi and punched her back. He then took out a Kunai and stabbed her, only for her to disappear in a Kawarimi. He dodged a wild swing, blocked another one, then twisted her arm, making her drop her Kunai and falling to the ground. However, she summoned a bee with an explosive note and detonated at point-blank range. The only thing that remained where insects, that bit into her and drained her chakra. She tried fending them off, but due to her distraction, Shino released more Kikaichu at her. She eventually passed out from Chakra exhaustion. He heard Samui say "Cool battle. Now surrender, or your insects will get hurt." She said, her tanto at the back of his neck, her palm aiming at the insects, with Lightning surrounding it. Shino said "It is only logical to surrender. My insects come first. Proctor I give up." he said, with Hayate nodding "Winner Samui!" he said, with Samui sheathing her Tanto. Shino nodded at her, she nodding back. Hayate coughed "I am sorry to say this, but due to the unfair numbers, one more match of 1 vs 1 will be done." he said looking at the board "Inoue Orihime and Yakumo Kurama." he said, the two girls going down. "Begin!"
Inoue looked at Yakumo, then nodded with a smile. Yakumo nodded back, sending Shuriken at her, preparing her Chakra. Inoue dodged them, then, knowing what Yakumo would do, raised a barrier made of yellow Chakra. Yakumo smirked "You think that will stop me?" she said, releasing her Genjutsu. Nothing happened. Yakumo looked on with wide eyes "W-What?" she thought, with Inoue smiling. The barrier turned into an orb, that blasted its way towards Yakumo. She held out her arms, only to fall back, yelling in pain. Inoue kept sending more balls of energy at her, until she fell unconscious. She simply bowed with a frown of sadness. "Winner Orihime Inoue!" said Hayate coughing and nodding to Anko as they both jumped down "All winners come here!"
he said. As the Genins went down, Naruto thought 'Too bad Yakumo lost. I knew it from the start though. She was low on Chakra since she battled recently, not to mention her body isn't free of its problem yet. But I am interested in how that barrier blocked the Genjutsu, along with her ability.' Naruto thought about Inoue. As he came down, the Proctor pointed at the box in Anko's hand "Each of you will draw a paper from there. We will use it to see who you will battle and in what turn. Begin!" he said as each of the Genins took out a paper.
"Five." said Sasuke. "Six." said Gaara. "Three." said Shikamaru. "Seven." said Inoue. "Eight." said Samui. "Two." said Narumi. "Ten." said Kurotsuchi. "Four." said Rias. "One." said Naruto. "Nine." said Yugito. Hayate gulped at the matches, especially the first one.
First Match: Uzumaki Naruto vs Namikaze Narumi. Second Match: Nara Shikamaru vs Rias Gemstrong. Third Match: Orihime Inoue vs Samui. Fourth Match: Yugito vs Kurotsuchi. "Alright. Those are the matches. Gaara will fight the winner of the first match and Sasuke the one of the second. After that, the winners of match 3 and 4 will fight. That person will go directly to the final. The other two will fight so that one will go to the final. You have one month to prepare. Good luck to all." he said.
Most of the Genin turned to Naruto, who didn't look pleased one bit. He simply send a nod to the Sandaime, as he went off. 'So, fate has deemed fit for me to fight my sister. Alright, she will fall before me, like all the sheep have fallen before the wolf…' he thought.
