The entire crowd was going crazy for the beginning of the match to begin. In the Jounin teachers area, Gai was cheering on Lee while everyone looked at him wierdlyt except for Kakashi whom was thinking about his son which he had finally seen and that of Sasuke whose bloodlust caught him by surprise. Kakashi just continued to watch all the while knowing that something wrong was about to go terribly wrong during the match. The Genins however were all talking about whom they think were going to win.
"Hmph the Uchia and Lee, this will be a interesting match." Said Gaara as he looked down at the two.
"I know I believe that Lee will win." Said Haku.
"How can Lee win against Sasuke when he can't even perform ninjutsu or genjutsu, I mean his win against Neji must've been just a fluke anyways." Said Temari as Carbuncle nestled himself into her shirt.
"Lee is the only one besides his sensei and mine that are masters of taijutsu. Everyone is only used to those that use gen or ninjutsu in their fights but they're always unprepared to deal with a taijutsu master."
"Yeah but Sasuke has those Sharingan eyes, he's just gonna copy Lee's movements." Temari stated while petting Carbuncle lightly.
"He would, but Lee can open the Celestial Gates and that's just something that Sasuke can't copy." Added Shino.
"Yeah but he can only open one." Said Shikamaru.
"No, after training with Gai-sensei and Kouga-sensei he has mastered the Lotus." Said Haku.
"Wait a minute so you're saying that Lee can open all the gates if he wanted?!" Sputtered Naruto.
"Exactly."
"Well it looks like this battle has just become unpredictable now." Said Shino with a hint of amusement in his normally bland voice.
In the arena Lee was staring at his opponent with focus as he slipped into his normal fighting stance. With one arm out, he gestured for Sasuke to come towards him which the latter did with out so muchwaisting a second. Sasuke lept into the air and tried to deliver a kick to Lee's throat which was just slapped aside by Lee's outstreched hand. Lee the retaliated by punching at Sasuke but it was also countered with a kick from Sasuke. Leaping away from eachother the two looked at each other when Lee decided to look towards the Jounin booth and saw Gai giving him a thumbs up. Smiling, Lee reached down to his leg warmers to the surprise of Sasuke and pulled out a set of ankle weights. Sasuke just smirked at Lee cockily.
"If you believe that taking off a few weights is going to help you then you are sadly mistaken." Said Sasuke.
"You weren't there for my fight against Neji so you will see me when I don't hold back now." Lee grinned as he tossed his weights over to the remains of a tree from Kuma's jutsu.
"You're..." Started Sasuke before he saw the weights land, destroying the tree and creating a large crater where the landed kicking up a large amount of dust.
"Now let's go!" Cheered Lee as he vanished from the view of everyone and appeared behind Sasuke, "KONOHA SENPUU!"
"Geck!" Excalimed Saskue as he was across the arena by Lee's attack, "What the hell...I can't follow him with my Sharingan."
"I've said it before a genius like yourself and Neji can be beaten by a genius of hard work! ORA!" Screamed Lee as he began to deliver a combo on Sasuke before kicking him into the air.
Up in the stands Neji was watching with a tiny smirk at how his teammate was doing. For once the young Huuyga was happy seeing as how Lee taught him that he could do anything and can escape his destiny, eventhough it took Lee beating the hell out of him to realize that. Neji knowing what Lee was going going to do stood up much to the surprise of his Uncle Hiashi, and his cousins Hinata and Hanabi, and his their teammates Ten-Ten and Kiba.
"GO LEE! SHOW THEM THE POWER OF THE BEAUTIFUL GREEN BEAST OF KOHONA!" Laughed Neji as everyone looked at him like he was insane.
"Umm...Neji are you okay?" Asked Hinata.
"Of course, for once I am. Lee deserves to win after what he's acomplished so far."
"I think he went crazy after being hit with that Omote Renge." Muttered Kiba to Ten-Ten whom nodded her head in agreement.
"No, Neji's right. Lee is going to be the victor." Said Hiashi as he watched Lee perform the Omote Renge on Sasuke causing the entire crowd go wild.
"It seems this fight is over."
"Man that's alot of dust, hey Hinata can you see anything?" Asked Ten-Ten.
"I'll try....oh my..." Gasped Hinata as she activated her Byakugan and stared at the cloud of dust seeing an unnatural amount of chakra being generated by the prone body of Sasuke.
"What is it?"
"Lee's in trouble...I sensed this chakra before in the Forest of Death during the second test." Said Neji as he activated his own Byakugan.
"Well what kind of chakra is it?!" Shouted Kiba.
"A demon's."
Over with Kagome and the others...
"Holy shit did you just see what that kid did?!" Shouted Inuyasha.
"Yes, he's powerful in order to perform a technique like that." Said Kyuubi.
"But it looks like he's winded after doing it though." Added Miroku looking at Lee.
"Yeah...whoah did anyone else here feel a demon's jaki?" Said Kagome.
"Yes...it's coming from the boy that was the victim of the attack. This looks like it's going to be bad."
"What is?" Asked Sakura and Ino whom were sitting behind the group the entire time and listening on their conversation.
"Umm nothing." Lied Miroku.
"You're lying something is going on with Sasuke and I want to know what!" Said Sakura.
"Feh why should we tell you since you're about to see for yourself." Snorted Inuyasha.
Back on ground level, Lee was panting and grinning at having dealt a large amount of damage on Sasuke, that was until a burst of purple chakra blew away the dust. Lee gasped as he saw Sasuke standing with a series of black markings covering his body and his left eye was all black with a gold iris.
"S-S-Sasuke?" Sputtered Lee in surprise.
"To think that you actually hurt me...for that I will kill you." Said Sauske as the markings began to overtake his body and his form changed. His skin became black, his hair became white as a pair of horns grew from his forehead, he grew at least two heads taller, and his Sharingan eyes went from their normal red to a glowing yellow.
"What is this?" Muttered Lee as Sasuke vanished from his view.
"The power I gained from a great man." Said Sasuke as appeared behind Lee and stabbed him in the shoulder with a kunai.
"Grahh...damn you've become faster..."
"And stronger Lee, why don't you give up anyways since I'm going to kill you."
"Never...I'll fight on even if I die, I'll take you down with me!"
"Heh such boasts aren't going to get you anywhere Lee, so why don't you just lay down while I begin to have some fun." Grinned Sasuke darkly as he punched Lee in his ribs causing the taijutsu user to fall down before Sasuke stepped on his back.
"AHHH!!"
"Heh, now where to begin with all this potential...I guess there's a nice place to start! KATON! RYUUKA NO JUTSU!" Yelled Sasuke as he blew a stream of fire at a section of the stands and incenerated all the spectators there.
"Sasuke stop this madness now!" Ordered an Anbu member with a tiger mask as he and some assorted Chuunins and Jounins rushed towards the Uchia.
"Are you all really so willing to die, very well then.....KATON! KUROI HOUSENKA NO JUTSU" Cried Sauske as he fired a stream of mini black fireballs at the group heading towards him and releshing in hearing the screams of those that were hit and where burning to death slowly, "Now for the dobe... KATON! KARYUU ENDAN!" Cried Sauske as he launched a stream of fire at the Genin area and smiled again as an explosion rocked the booth and the surrounding area.
Up in the booth with the Genins, Carbuncle was alert and his gem was glowing as a barrier surrounded all of the Genins in the booth. Everyone was shaken but relieved that the tiny Aeon that saved them just moments before the attack hit, but they were also remorseful at those around their booth that weren't so lucky. Gaara began to growl lowly when after the smoke cleared he saw Sauske killing the spectators as they tried to flee in addition to the ninjas that tried to get him to stop.
"Shit this is bad." Said Kuma.
"Stop stating the obvious Kuma." Sighed Haku.
"That jerk Sauske how can he attack everyone so damn freely?!" Shouted Shikamaru.
"Because...he's gone mad with power, he believes that everyone is nothing so he will kill just for the sake of killing." Said Gaara simply as he touched the tattoo on his head.
"And how would you know Creepy?" Kuma asked.
"I was once like him."
"Gaara..." Started Temari.
"Don't worry let's just try to help those that we can escape while the Jounin try to stop the Uchia." Said Kankuro.
"Um if you haven't noticed they're getting their asses handed to them!" Said Naruto.
"Fine, I will go assist them." Said Garra.
"And just how do you manage to do.....that?" Said Kuma in shock as he and the others watched Garra's sand cover his body and give him the form of a humanoid tanuki.
"Like this." Said the now gravelly voice of Gaara as he hopped down into the arena and rushed Sasuke.
"Well can't let him show me up...Nanook give me some chakra." Said Kuma before a aura of brown chakra erupted around his body and his eyes turned a slate grey.
"What?" Said Naruto.
"Demons, the amazing things you do when they're in ya." Kuma joked as he followed Gaara.
"Oi wait for me!" Shouted Naruto as he enveloped himself in his red demon jaki and followed the two.
Saskue was continuing his attack on the crowd with fervor until he was knocked aside by a pair of well aimed kicks. Looking for who kicked him, the Uchia grinned as he saw Gai and Kakashi standing in front of him. Gai having enough of Sasuke rushed at him while Kakashi began to charge for his Chidori but that wasn't enough as Sauske knocked Gai aside and punched Kakashi in his face causing him to lose focus.
"Heh, you're not strong enough Kakashi-sensei." Sasuke as he kicked Kakashi in the face.
"Why Sasuke?" Said the Jounin as he looked at his demented pupil.
"You Leafs are weak, I was awakened to that fact by Orochimaru when I met him during the second stage of the exams."
"Sauske he's only using you!"
"So what...I've gained the power that I wanted and know I will gain the power of my brother by killing you all!" Sasuke shouted while advancing towards Kakashi.
"You're not killing another person today!" Growled Gaara as he punched Sasuke away from Kakashi, "SUNA SHURIKEN!"
"Pathetic." Muttered Sauske as he doged all of the sand projectiles until he was hit from behind by a giant boulder.
"Hey ya ass always be aware of your surroundings damnit!" Shouted Kuma.
"Ero-Mage you show off." Said Naruto.
"Hahaha, you know it....you've got to be shitting me." Muttered Kuma as he saw Sasuke get up while balancing the boulder on his pinky.
"That was close, you almost had me there. Here take this back!" Shouted Sasuke as he threw the boulder at Naruto and Kuma whom doged it at the last moment.
"Take this Sasuke! KYUUBI REPPU!" Screamed Naruto as he lashed out with a jaki and chakra infused kick at Sasuke which the latter bloacked easily.
"You're still weak Naruto."
"SABAKU KYUU! SABAKU SOUSOU!" Shouted Gaara as he managed to capture Sasuke in his greatest skill but was shocked as Sasuke forced his way out of the sand cocoon.
"You all are getting very annoying!"
"KAZE NO KIZU!" Shouted a voice behind Sasuke as he was knocked away by a surge of energy which created a claw mark into the ground.
"About time you guys decided to help out!" Shouted Naruto as he saw Inuyasha leap down into the arena with Miroku and Kyuubi.
"Ya damn fox can't you you do anything right without my help?!" Shouted Inuyasha.
"Shut up damnit, he's pretty damn strong!"
"Lovely, I don't know why I couldn't sense it earlier but he has a shard of the Shikon jewel in his body." Said Miroku.
"What?!" Shouted Kyuubi.
"So you all know now, well you can all just die!" Howled Sauske insanely as he sent out a wave of chakra which knocked everyone away from him, "Weaklings, now to kill her and finish getting my power."
Up in the stands Sakura, Kagome, Ino, and Sango were getting anyone that wasn't able to get away unaware that Sasuke had managed to defeat all of the guys in the arena singlehandly when they heard a low chuckle behind them. Turning around they saw Sasuke in all his demonic glory come at them when he was tackled from the side by Neji, Hinata, and Kiba. But they were knocked aside easily as the others. Sango tried to stop the crazed Genin with a Ryuuka Endan but her attack was blocked and she was sent flying into Kagome and Ino whom were on their way to help her. Finally Sasuke was alone with Sakura and the boy just reached out with his massive hand and grabbed Sakura by her hair.
"Heh, hello Sakura-chan." Said Sasuke.
"Sasuke..why, why are you doing this?" Cried Sakura.
"So I can gain the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan like my brother and do you know how I gain it? Well I gain it by killing all those close to me. You know I loved you like a sister Sakura so by killing you I can gain the power faster, but don't worry I'll be sure to send everyone following you into death." Smirked Sasuke as he began to sliced at Sakura's body with a kunai lightly laughing each time the girl would scream.
Back in the arena, Lee was slowly getting up from where he was when he heard Sakura's screams. Looking at the downed form of his mentor, Lee slowly made his way over to him and placed his forehead protector next to him. With determination in his eyes Lee began a slow chant.
"First Seal: Initial Gate open, Second Seal: Heal Gate Open, Third seal: Life Gate open, Fourth Seal: Harm Gate open, Fifth Seal: Limit Gate open." Said Lee as his chakra exploded around his body causing his hair to shoot straight up and his skin to turn red while his eyes became a glowing white as he rushed to save Sakura, "Sixth Seal: View Gate open, Seventh Seal: Wonder Gate Open!"
"What the hell?" Said a stunned Sasuke as he felt a surge of chakra.
"KEEP YOUR FILTYH HANDS OFF OF SAKURA-CHAN!" Lee Yelled as he grabbed Sasuke's hand and with a sicking crunch broke it and then kicked him away.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD I'LL KILL YOU!"
"Heh...Sakura-chan remember my promise where I said I'd protect you till the day I day, well I'm about to make good on my promise."
"Lee...don't you'll die!" Pleaded Sakura.
"I don't care Sakura-chan, I'd do anything for you because I love you." Whispered Lee as he ran at Sasuke.
"LEE!"
"CHIDORI!" Shouted Sasuke as he gathered all of his chakra around his right hand and ran at Lee with the sound of a thousand birds running after him.
"THAT WON'T WORK! EIGHTH SEAL: DEATH GATE OPEN!" Shouted Lee as his skin became a light shade of blue and his hair grew till it reached the small of his back and white, "SHIKI RENGE!" Shouted Lee as he kicked Sasuke into the air and then followed him all the while landing punches and kicks at all of Sasuke's vital points, then Lee flew through Sasuke's body ripping him apart and setting the shard of the jewel free.
The remains of Sasuke landed onto the ground followed by Lee whom reverted back to his normal self before he fell over and was caught by Gai whom had recovered along with everyone else. Lee looked at everyone and gave a weak laugh before speaking.
"Gai-sensei I did it, I protected everyone...I feel great." Said Lee.
"Yes Lee you proved your nindo, now take back you forehead protector." Said Gai.
"I won't need it anymore...thank you Gai-sensei for teaching me and give my thanks to Kouga-sensei when you find him...Neji...Naruto...you guys were the best rivals I could ever ask for and Ten-Ten make sure Gai-sensei keeps up with his training...and Sakura-chan good-bye." Smiled Lee as he closed his.
"Lee speak to me...show us the power of youth Lee..answer me Lee." Said Gai as tears began to fall from his eyes as well as the others, but no more than Sakura whom was crying heavily into Lee's chest.
Lee opened his eyes to find himself standing in a dark room before a man dressed in all white burial kimono and a white haired oni mask stood in front of him. The man waved Lee to come over to him. Lee walked over to the man who laughed lightly at the look of confusion on the young taijutsu master's face.
"Heh you're wondering where you are eh, Rock Lee?" Said the man.
"Huh..you're right but who are you and how do you know my name?" Asked Lee.
"I'm Shinigami, ya know the Grim Reaper?"
"Then I'm dead?!"
"You're a bright one aren't you?"
"But is this heaven or hell?"
"Nope, limbo. Listen kid I'm going to do something for you since you used the Shiki Renge in order to protect those closet to you."
"But why?"
"The person whom developed the Lotus style was your great, great, grandfather and he only used the skill for his own personal gain but you did it for the opposite reason so I'm gonna let the after effects of the Lotus to pass you up forever."
"T-Thank you sir!"
"No problem kid and as a garantee this seal will negate all the negative side effects of the Lotus and any other forbidden taijutsu for you and it'll pass down to your children so consider this your Bloodline Limit." Said Shinigami as he grabbed Lee's fists causing a green and black dragon mark to glow underneath the bandages, "Now kid back to the land of the living!"
Sakura continued to cry into Lee's chest when she felt a hand work its way through her hair. Startled the girl looked up from Lee's chest to see the Genin looking back at her with a silly grin on his face.
"Hey Sakura-chan don't cry anymore, it doesn't suit you." Smiled Lee before Sakura slapped him.
"You idiot, you know that opening all the gates would kill you!" Shouted Sakura as she slapped Lee again causing all the guys to wince.
"But Sakura-chan..."
"Lee I was worried about you...I didn't want to loose you but I'm glad that you're not dead. It's a miracle that the Shiki Renge didn't kill you." Sakura smiled as she helped Lee up from the ground.
"More like Shinigami let me live."
"You met the Shinigami?!" Exclaimed everyone after they digested what Lee said.
"Yeah, he was kinda weird but he said he'd let me live because I used the Lotus to save everyone instead of my own personal gain, and he also gave me this. He said it'll negate all the negative effects of any taijutsu on me and it's now my Bloodline Limit." Said Lee as he removed the bandages on his fists to show the marks that the Shinigami placed on him.
"Well looks like Lee's the strongest Genin here." Said Kakashi while Naruto and Kuma glared at him.
"Yes, and I believe that he should have this." Said Gai as he threw his Jounin jacket at Lee.
"But Gai-sensei I didn't even become a Chuunin." Said Lee.
"Lee, your strength and dedication is beyond that of an ordinary Chuunin and I believe that the Village Commity and the Hokage would agree that you should be a Jounin."
"This is so cool!"
"Feh, watch out Lee cause we're gonna be after you!" Said Naruto as the other male Genin nodded their heads in agreement.
"I know Naruto and I can't wait to fight you all as equals."
"Damn what a mess that kid caused." Said Inuyasha.
"Yeah, he was my student and I didn't pay enough attention to him." Said Kakashi sadly.
"Hey Kakashi don't blame yourself, Sasuke believed in nothing but power and he sold his soul on his own to obtain it." Said Asuma.
"Besides he was pain in the ass." Said Kouga walking up to the group with Ayame. Kouga was wearing a pair of long black shorts, a Crescent Village forehead protector tied around his ankle and a black flack jacket.
"Kouga-sensei did you see me fight?" Asked Lee as he put on the jacket, looking like a mini-Gai even more.
"Nope, I was busy getting civillians away from here with the kages but I sure as hell could feel your battle."
"Cool...to think I'm at the level of a Jounin."
"What the hell was that?!" Shouted Kurenai as they heard an explosion.
"Guys I think we may have more problems." Said Neji as he activated his Byakugan and looking for the source of the blast before settling on the north Kohona gate.
"Like what?"
"How about a thousand Sound ninjas and demons." Said Neji blandly as he focused on the army which burst their way through Kohona's north gate.
