That evening Naruto, Sasuke, Lee and Neji where standing at the tournament's dome exit.

"How are you feeling Neji?" Lee ask

Neji couldn't answer Naruto and Sasuke could only look at Neji when the three saw he took a deep breath they knew he is ready to give an answer. "Alright and depress at the same time. But I have to be thankful that I only lose and not killed....... Lee I am sorry to ask this but how long was my match with that guy. I could barely keep track of the time just fighting him"

Now it's Lee's turn to look depress but he knew that Neji deserve an answer he close his eyes "One minute"

This shocked both Naruto and Sasuke. "I see........... It's no surprise to me I can't even hit the guy. He moves as if he can read my mind.... Sharingan is indeed deadly" Neji muttered "It felt like as if I am fighting against a master and I am his student I can't even see where the punches are coming from he's fast........Darn his cloak"

"Master?........So are you saying this guy's quite experience. That he does not really have both Byakugan and Sharingan " Naruto ask.

"Idiot... Of course that what he mean" Sasuke replied back. "It's the only logical explanation and I never heard of such a person being born under both Hyuuga and Uchiha clan." Neji agreed

Just then both Gai and Kakashi sensei came out. "Sasuke I have news for you it's up to you how will you take it either good or bad" Kakashi looking at Sasuke. "So tomorrow I will be fighting him" Sasuke answered Kakashi just nod "Yes you and him are the last". Before they are left Gai called out all of them. They followed Gai to the most famous and expensive restaurant in the village. To everyone surprise Gai sensei is still treating them. Everyone is silent even when the food is served "Well eat up everyone" Gai forcing a smile everyone is silent and would even budge an inch. "

"I think this is not a good idea Gai" Kakashi whispering to Gai. Gai got even more depress when he heard a chopstick snap

"I can't take this anymore!!!" Naruto shouted standing up he start eating like a mad man

"Naruto what are you doing?" Neji ask

"I so annoyed of this Ryu...... Guy. That I don't care about ethic or proper manner anymore!! I promise you I will beat the hell out of him" Naruto continue eating

"You are not his opponent tomorrow!" Sasuke yelled as he too began eating like Naruto

"Darn it... Don't start without me!" Kakashi grin followed

Gai, Neji and Lee couldn't believe what they are seeing. But seeing how fast the food is being consumed all they can do is follow.

The girls, Kiba, Shino, Nara and Choji have just finished when they heard a commotion at the restaurant they look at the window and got the shock of their lives.

"Is that really Sasuke and Neji in there!!!" Ino asking the others

"There at it again" Sakura muttered.

"Again...........You mean this is not the first" Tenten asking Sakura. "Yes"

"Man!!!! Here I thought Kiba, my self's appetite and manners are worst" Choji exclaimed as he watch the window.

"Hey" Kiba reacted as he looks at Hinata. But really at Hanabi who's beside her. "Oh... don't worry about it" Hinata answered "I knew about that long before we got close" Hanabi who just smiled in agreement

"Thanks" Kiba blush

"This is a rare site." As Shino pick up his camera and took the picture. "Yes" Sakura answered the same word again.

"Is something wrong Sakura" Hanabi ask seeing how Sakura's reaction was not surprise or shock at this sight but depress" Everyone's ones attention now focus on Sakura as she took a deep breath "For the last time they where like this..........They got badly beaten and Sasuke............... all most died" "But Sasuke is fighting him tomorrow" Everyone now was silent as they look at them now with worries

( I am sorry but I can't write about how Naruto and the others fared in the tournament against there other opponent anymore experiencing mental block I will just focus on the main battles)

The last battle of the day is about to begin. Sasuke is performing some final stretches. Naruto, Kakashi, Neji and Gai appeared before him.

"Where's Lee?" Sasuke ask looking at them.

"Oh he is assisting Tenten with the injured today" Neji explained.

"They have become quite a couple after your match Naruto" Sasuke smiled

"Hey!!! Quite being mushy Sasuke........... Good luck and give him hell" Naruto pat Sasuke's back

"I will and I am also doing this for you" Sasuke suddenly turn quite and look at Kakashi

"Me?" Naruto give Sasuke a strange look "Oh!!! He meant is that he will defeat that guy today so he can face you in the championship" Kakashi explained.

"Oh is that it" Naruto smiled, Sasuke just sighed "Activate you Sharingan early Sasuke" Gai giving Sasuke advice "and use Taijutsu or any physical attack you can muster. Your opponent seem to take advantage of the time delay on any technique involving chakra"

Sasuke nod "Thank you Gai sensei" Kakashi went near Sasuke "As I hate to agree with him he's right in this one...Good luck you will need it against him now go they are calling for you" Sasuke now walking to the ring where his opponent await him

Sasuke vs Ryu H

Both of them charge at each other at the same time. Sasuke followed Gai's advice and hammer in on the punches and kicks. For quite some time none of them have a clear advantage on the other.

"This is bad for Sasuke" Gai exclaimed

"What do you mean none of them had a clean hit on each other?" Neji explained with Kakashi and Naruto agreeing.

"No he is right" a voice came out behind them when they look to see who it was

"Uncle Hiashi?" Neji shouted

Indeed Hiashi, Tsunade and Jiraiya both came together. They are about to greet them when Jiraiya spoke "No need for formality that is not important today." Naruto for the first time saw him. "So this is Hinata's father" But stop when he saw Hiashi gave him a cold stare that force him to shake.

"What do you mean? Uncle when you said it's bad" Neji ask "Haven't you notice use your Byakugan to find out" Hiashi crossing his hand

Neji activated his Byakugan. The minute he started shaking Naruto and Kakashi knew something bad is happening before they could speak. "His opponent is not using Sharingan. The flow of chakra on his opponent does not change. But Sasuke chakra flow is getting weaker!!" With that both Naruto and Kakashi scream at the pick of there voice "Sasuke!"

Kiba at the audience sit heard the voice Hanabi, Hinata, Sakura and the rest who knew of Hinata's situation look at him.

"Is something wrong" Hinata asking Kiba since she is sitting next to him before Hanabi looking at Kiba

"Bad!!! I just heard Naruto and Kakashi screaming"

"What!!! From the look of things here no one still has an advantage" Sakura exclaimed trying to hide her fear. But deep inside she knew something is wrong she just couldn't accept it

Hinata performing a seal "Byakugan" Now it is Hinata's turn to be afraid. Everyone stare at her. "Sasuke.....Sasuke is....... getting weaker"

Sasuke is indeed getting exhausted for his Sharingan have been consuming his chakra and his physical attacks and dodge are only draining him faster. He took one last deep breath and charge at that time it connected. His opponent hit him also forcing both of them to fall.

"It's over" Hiashi exclaimed

That blow deactivated Sasuke's Sharingan. He quickly stand up and shouted "Shari..."but it is too late his opponent cover his eye with his left hand under the cloak. His right hands perform a fury of punches. The pain force Sasuke to close his eyes. When he felt himself flying in the air and after wards a finger pointing behind him he heard the reaction of the audience that he tried opening his eye as he is falling. He realizes what his opponent is performing. Before he fainted from his opponent's final blow a word is heard from him "Lion............. Rendan" then he fainted. Ino close her eyes begun counting. This time the figure looks at Hinata no action is needed. Hinata understand what he is trying to say and began crying.
