Hinata walk toward the dressing room when she saw Gaara holding on to his shoulder. Hinata could not help it pull up her handkerchief and medicine out of her pocket and first aided Gaara. For the first time Hinata saw Gaara blush.
"Thank you.." Gaara said shyly "I am sorry that I defeated you boyfriend"
"Don't worry about it" Hinata smiled "Kiba is not my boyfriend.....Naruto still hold my heart"
"Then why are you with him.........No forget I ask" Gaara had to stop when he saw Hinata in pain.
"Thank you again you are the first to show me this kindness. I owe you one" Gaara move away from Hinata but before he totally vanish he gaze at her one last time. She is smiling as Gaara face the road ahead of him. He held on to Hinata's handkerchief now neatly tide in his wound
"I will return this to you when I repaid my debt for now this is our contract that I am at your service." He said to himself as he past by a door he heard cheering but he did not stop to see who won.
In another ring next to the ring that was totally demolished "Lion rendan" The boy in blue shouted as he perform the final blow in the air his opponent fell down but blue shirt boy did not stop there as he landed he kept on jumping from side to side. A pink haired girl began the counting. But by the look at his opponent he could no longer stand by the count of ten. The match ended "I lost I don't believe this. My insect trap is no match for a Sharingan user like you" The person tried to stand up. Then a hand came to assist him the blue shirt boy place his hand at his opponents shoulder. "I just discovered a flow in the technique that all"
"What is it will you tell me?"
"Your entire insects are land type" The blue shirted boy explained as he assist his opponent off the ring.
The match between Choji and Nara ended with a draw as Ino herself ended the Battle. The two fainted at the same time. Neji is getting ready for his match when Gai and Kakashi came to him. "How do you feel Neji?" Gai ask
"Not good." Before Gai could speak "My opponent is a Sharingan user"
"Sharingan user" Kakashi repeated the word in his head "So it is him"
Gai looking puzzled "Are you sure."
"Yes after Lee match with Naruto I came across with the guy and use my Byakugan I saw his face he look exactly like Sasuke only with a longer hair."
As Neji explained they heard the ring announcer called fort his name "I have to go sensei" Just then Sasuke came back with Lee after he escorted Shino to the clinic.
Lee went with Gai to watch Neji's battle. When Sasuke came near Kakashi "I heard it" Sasuke inform Kakashi. Kakashi just nod "I know let watch the fight" at that time they heard the words "Let the match begin" Just as they where about to come near the ring entrance. They heard a tumble
"Ouch" The four turn around to see Naruto on the ground.
"What are you doing here shouldn't you be resting?" Gai ask
"I am alright just dizzy. Darn you sensei Gai!" Naruto standing up but again lose his balance "If I lose tomorrow's match I am going to curse you."
Gai sighed and look at Kakashi who only place his hands on his pocket. "Very well" Gai assisted Naruto "After the match I will treat you to dinner will that make up for what I did"
Naruto's eye brighten "Hey!!! Guys did you here that Gai is treating us to dinner." Gai is shook he turns gray and his mouth is wide open when he heard what Naruto just said. He is about to take back what Naruto just said but it is too late
"That great I am starving" Sasuke who is force to turn around
"Hmmmm....I never seen this side of you Gai. Thank You" Kakashi smiled
"Great!!!" Lee's eye's where burning. Gai is dumb struck he could see that his salary envelope flying to the south. But when he saw the boys smile. "Just this once" Gai said to himself
"Initial Lotus!!!!!" A white eyed girl shouted. That made everyone of them to turn around and look. They were shock to see that Neji is caught at the end of the initial lotus combo perform by the hooded figure. The spinning is so fast they did not get to see the face but they did see the long hair. "NOOOOOOO!!" Both Gai and Lee reacted as they ran toward the ring. But still farther from the ground figure let him go.
Neji is still spinning when he crash, But the figure close his hood again to hide his face before he landed. The white eyed girl is shaking but she had no choice she started the counting"1...2..3" She deliberately counted slower hoping Neji could still fight but the counting did not bother the hooded figure.
Neji just can't move and the dizziness he felt after the initial lotus made the situation much worst by the time she reaches "Ten. The winner is........Ryu H" She ran toward Neji "Brother Neji!!! Medic team!!" she shouted at the microphone Gai, Lee, Sasuke, Kakashi and Naruto went to Neji and Hinata.
They all relax when they saw Neji breathing but his body couldn't move force him to stay down Kakashi then order Hinata to use her Byakugan. Hinata activated Byakugan but is in shock
Naruto shouted at Hinata "WHAT DID YOU SEE!!?" Hinata answered "There are no serious injury but all his chakra points and nerve are block" They all where in shock "All" They knew sharingan can only be use to detect and copy an opponents move. "But this can only mean...." Sasuke standing up to look at the figure but the figure already disappear.
