I was waiting for Naruto but since you are here I will be inviting you to come to the Hokage stand to watch the match"
"Ano..won't that be to much trouble" Hinata stared at Jiraiya.

The time has drawn near everyone of Hinata and Naruto's friend showed up and where given special sits to watch his fight. This match has no referee in the ring. Camera where place everywhere and the Hokage stand now has special protection. Hinata did accept Jiraiya offer but when he saw his father she is about to back down Jiraiya and Tsunade stand between the two. Jiraiya placing his hand at Hinata's shoulder smiled which calmed Hinata as she watch the ring
Naruto entered the ring with his genin uniform he is silent as he step up the ring. Ryu in his hood and all slowly step up. The two did not make a move as the Tsunade officially start the fight. Naruto started to dodge most of Ryu's attack. Everyone at the audience corner tried desperately not to blink Kakashi, Sasuke, Neji and Hanabi already activated there special eye so they can examine the two carefully.
While Naruto is having a hard time in blocking Ryu's attacks "Man! This guy is quick" As Naruto block a kick he grabs Ryu's hooded and started to throw him. Ryu is force to follow as he did not want his identity revealed landed safely. Just then Naruto activated his Kage Bunshin in order to create five clones.
The clones with Naruto charge at Ryu forcing Ryu to defend himself unable to attack even with his speed. Kakashi couldn't help but smiled as he saw Naruto's tactics "He did well" Everyone agreed.
Ryu unable to attack was now left open Naruto took the chance and perform his Rendan. "Yes he hit him" Neji exclaimed everyone is happy to see that as the final attack a falling head kick was perform Ryu's hood finally rip as he landed. But his hair was now blocking his face as the attack did also destroy the string holding it together. Just then Naruto did see his eyes.
"Red eyes... It not sharingan!" Naruto shouted to let everyone know. Tsunade ordered the camera to zoom in at Ryu. The large screen show Ryu only have did have red eyes not Sharingan. "But that impossible I knew I saw him with 'Sharingan' eyes and how was he able to copy our technique?" Neji now confused. "You don't really need 'Sharingan' to copy someone's technique" Kakashi explained
Naruto now watch as Ryu standing up. "You did well!" Ryu now perform a seal under his hood. Everyone now felt a wave past trough them. The camera still centered at Ryu showed the nerve in his eyes pop out. "Byakugan!" Hinata, Neji and Hiashi exclaimed. "Impossible" Haishi in shock to see there family prized possession now being used by Ryu.
Naruto begin his attack. He discovered he no longer has the edge. Ryu is able to see when and where the attack he and his clone perform. One by one Ryu destroyed Naruto's clone till only Naruto is left. "I will return the favor now" Naruto receive a blow of kicks from Ryu.
"Is it really Byakugan" Lee asking for an explanation
"Yes" Sasuke answered "There is no chakra being used through the eye"
Ryu kick Naruto in the air. Then Ryu also jump to catch Naruto. "Rendan or Lotus" Tenten desperately ask. But no one can give answer even Sasuka and Kakashi. Ryu caught up with Naruto. Naruto then turned around and kick Ryu. The blow force Ryu to fall first he look up. Naruto perform a ball of green chakra "Rasengan" The ball hit Ryu and exploded destroying his cloak. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH" Everyone heard him they then notice his voice and figure change as his cloak slowly dissolve in the explosion
Everyone in shock to see that the figure under the smoke is not a man as the smoke became clear. They realize that Ryu's a girl. "What is the meaning of this?" Naruto wondered when he landed. Ryu holding on to her stomach voice change "Now you know why I chose you as my prize Naruto-kun" Everyone heard the voice but no one is more surprised than Hinata herself "It's my voice" Hinata exclaimed. Tsunade now force to contact Anko "ANKO! Ryu's a girl! Find something about her now!" "A Girl! No wonder there is no data about him" Anko answered back.
Naruto still in shock saw Ryu charge toward him. "Who are you? What do you want?" Naruto ask as he blocks the attack. "It's better that you didn't know Naurto-kun" Naruto felt that Ryu's attack gotten stronger.
"I need time" Naruto thought as he receive one blow from Ryu to force him to bring some distant between them. Naruto perform a summon "Gamabunta!!!" The "Boss" now appeared but before he can move Ryu already behind him performs the 64 palm of the Hyuuga clan. Neji in shock "I never used that in this tournament how did she know?" Hiashi now sweating couldn't believe this girl knew about this technique. "AAAAAAAAAGH! I am......Sorry" Gamabunta apologize as he disappeared
Now Ryu continue to hammer on Naruto who could only block. Naruto frustrated thought of only one possible way. "You! Force me to this" Flame where now coming out of Naruto's body. "What he doing?" Everyone ask. "NOO! He is planning to use Kyubi!!" Kakashi exclaimed now everyone saw the flame took shape of a fox growling. Naruto eyes are now red to Ryu's surprised He punch Ryu forcing her to crash on the rings edge.
"So this is Kyubi!" Ryu stagger to stand up. "I guessed I can finally let go of this handicap"
Ryu facing down draw a kunai to cut her hair. The camera now shows Ryu looks exactly like Hinata except for the eyes. Everyone now begins to understand what Hinata's nightmare mean just then they notice blue crystals appearing at Ryu's corner. Kakashi realize what is going on shouted to Naruto "She also has a sealed demon!!"
"What?" Naruto watch as water burst out of Ryu platform. Everyone saw clearly what kind of creature is sealed inside of her. A huge water dragon with wings roared at Naruto. Slowly they witness Ryu in pain as crystal blue wings come out behind her.
Naruto could only tremble as he saw and heard Ryu scream in pain. "This is not Hinata! This is not Hinata!" THIS PERSON IS NOT HINATA!" Naruto now looked confuse. Everyone heard Naruto screaming. Kakashi and the other could only watch as Ryu transformation slowly settles down.
Just then Anko showed up on the big screen. "Hokage-sama we finally found something about Ryu"
"What are you waiting for show it to us?" Tsunade yelling unable to control the situation taking place under the ring.
"But......." Anko hesitated
"NOW! This is a serious matter" Tsunade shouted. The screen suddenly change showing Ryu's hooded face at the left on the right a number of pictures female shows up the picture on the right kept on shifting until it reach a familiar face. A bar showed up on the middle slowly being filled. Then picture of the screen flashes

"Tsunade, You idiot! Naruto don't look AT THE SCREEN!" Jiraiya shouted but his voice couldn't be heard. Hinata and Hiashi themselves couldn't move because of the shock.
Kakashi who saw the screen quickly threw a kunai as he notice Naruto himself slowly looking at the screen. But the kunai only bounce off. Ino then inform Kakashi sensei that Tsunade made the screen extra strong to prevent damage from the match.
"NO!" Kakashi slowly kneeled "Quickly! Sasuke, Neji and Hanabi analyze anything you can find"
As Naruto finally saw the screen he forces himself to remember Hinata standing next to Ryu. "Yes! Yes! Hinata is the referee of Ryu's matches!"
"NO! This not an illusion" Sasuke now hitting his fist at the ground
"I can't see the chakra flow" Hanabi exclaimed as Kiba tried to calm her.
"So do I, Ryu's level already surpass what I am capable off" Neji closing his eyes in disbelief. Everyone now felt helpless to help Naruto
"Is there nothing we could do?" Sasuke couldn't look as the air around them blew stronger just then everyone heard a voice "Don't lose hope yet your friends stamina and is much stronger then hers"
They turn to where the voice came from they saw it was Itachi finally letting down his hood. "You're the one I saw the other day" Neji exclaimed. When Sasuke saw Itachi his rage did not came out at that time he's concern for his friend now exceed anything including vengeance.
"Then Naruto can still beat her" Sakura with a cheerful smile
"No! I don't think so now!" They all saw Itachi now looking at Ryu. As they watch the screen they now realize what Itachi mean. Ryu finally open her eyes the changes on her face now affected them far more than her wings her eyes are now are milk pearl white!
Naruto could no longer fight under the pressure his mind is no longer focus. "Hi....na...ta no you're the last person.......... I ever wanted to hurt"
The screen showed Ryu now smiling Hinata could no longer take the pressure herself slowly fainted. Jiraiya caught her as she fainted "No! Now is not the time! Hinata! Hinata! Wake up! Naruto needs you now" Jiraiya under the situation could only think of one thing he should carry Hinata toward the ring.
"You did well Naruto-kun" Ryu smiling "But now it's time to end this!" Ryu with her hand releasing cold air charge at Naruto
