Another chapter for you guys! Thanks for the reviews! And now to respond.

taekmkm: Hinata used a frying pan because she believed it was a civilian, not a shinobi. Therefore, she cannot kill the person.

Dragon Man 180: Well, what would you do if you've lived without loving anyone else except your dead boyfriend/girlfriend for five years and then you suddenly find someone sleeping next to you in your own bed? Wouldn't you be freaked out? I know I would.

Irukapooka: Itadakimasu means 'I gratefully recieve.' It's a traditional Japanese thing to say before you eat.

TFI-Muse: Flaming Thousand Years of Pain, eh? I never thought of that one... I might just use it. Thank you for your idea.

Byuu128: All of your questions will be answered in this chapter. And yes, Naruto and Neji's attitudes toward each other will improve sooner or later.

Manatheron: I won't go into detail about the cursed seal on the Hyuuga branch family.

I do not own Naruto or King of Fighters.

I apologize for the quick fight scenes. Naruto is WAY out of his opponent's league, so they're going to be pretty short and fast.

Onward!

Chapter Fifteen: A Very Unfair Fight For Them

Naruto looked up at the black screen. One by one, the first seven participants were chosen. Naruto was waiting for the last name to be selected. So far, today's lucky numbers were Hayabusa Aki, Ryoushin Sato, Yoshikawa Zenko, Enoki Sayuri, Kenmotsu Ekiken, Dazai Ichiro, and Tabuchi Takako. There was one slot that was yet to be decided.

The audience could clearly be heard gasping. Much talk followed afterwards. However, five people who were watching had their jaws hanging.

Today's Super Number was Uzumaki Naruto.

"All of the other participants please exit the arena. We are about to start the first match." Genma said. He didn't care who won or who lost. As long as he got his gigantic toothpick to chew on, he was happy. Slowly, the mass of chuunin left the stage, leaving Naruto with seven other people. The ninjas were eying him suspiciously. After taking a close look at him, they looked at each other. They nodded, and returned to looking at him.

'It seems that they want to take me down first... So be it,' Naruto thought. However, other than eleven shinobi's and the Hokage, a different though was running through the audience's head.

'Which one is Naruto?' most of the audience thought.

Genma decided to start the match. "Hajime!" Immediately, the seven other shinobis fanned out around Naruto. Aki made a few hand seals.

"Ninpou: Burning Pain no Jutsu!" Immediately, red flames jumped out of the ground to meet Naruto. However, Naruto just smiled and slowly walked toward the caster of the jutsu. Apparently, she had used a genjutsu. And Naruto's sunglasses saw right through it.

Naruto was finally in front of Aki. But he didn't stop there. He simply walked past her. As soon as he was next to her, she felt a punch delivered to her abdomen. But she didn't see it. Naruto had delivered a quick punch too fast for the eye to see. She quickly lost consciousness and fell over. Genma quickly appeared by her side.

"Hayabusa Aki is out." He said. Soon, a medic nin poofed into existence, picked up her body, and then disappeared. The rest of the testing chuunins were stunned by the display of power Naruto had. But Naruto didn't want to spend too much time on this match. Collecting a blue flame in his hand, he threw it up into the air. Slowly, it split into six separate flames. Naruto jumped into the air and effectively kicked the flames to the six other chuunins.

The six, not wanting to go down without a fight, threw a few shurikens at the fireballs. Much to their dismay, before it even got close, their projectiles melted and fell to the ground. Since Naruto did not want to kill them, the aimed the meteors so that they would land in front of the person, causing an explosion in hopes of knocking them back. The meteors landed and exploded.

Three more chuunins were blown into the wall. They each hit it and lost consciousness. "Ryoushin Sato, Yoshikawa Zenko, and Enoki Sayuri are of the match." Three more medic nins appeared to take their bodies. The three remaining ninjas were shaking.

'How can we compete against this guy? We're outmatched!' Ichiro thought. While he was thinking, Naruto began to stoop down. He picked up a pebble and threw it at Ekiken's shoulder. Deciding to block it, he took out a kunai and tried to deflect it.

Naruto grinned.

As soon as the kunai came into contact with the pebble, the blade was shattered. The pebble continued on its crash course with Ekiken's shoulder. The three chuunins were staring at the pebble. Naruto took this time to give another too-fast-for-you punch to Takako's abdomen. She fell to the ground, much like Aki.

Ekiken was sent spinning into the wall. Again, much like the other unfortunate three, he was knocked out. "Kenmotsu Ekiken and Tabuchi Takako are out." Ichiro saw Ekiken get knocked out, but he didn't know that Takako was attacked too. After the medic nins left, there was only a scared chuunin left. Naruto slowly began his advance on the unfortunate survivor.

He took out a few shuriken. "Get away from me!!!" Ichiro threw the shurikens at Naruto and did a few hand seals. "Kage Shuriken no Jutsu!!!" Naruto watched as the shurikens multiplied. He smirked and kept walking. Hinata watched from the stands.

'What's he going to do? I know that Naruto-kun's powerful... but what will he do?' She watched as Naruto continued to walk. Slowly, the barrage of shuriken got closer. Naruto did a one-handed hand seal with his left hand. And then...

He disappeared. There was no poof of smoke. There was no line of smoke. There was no trace of Naruto being there. It was as if he disappeared. 'Nani?' was the thought, which occupied Ichiro's mind. In fact, it was the thought, which occupied everyone's mind.

Naruto then, almost instantaneously, reappeared in front of Ichiro. Ichiro was terrified. No, he was petrified. 'How can this guy... How can he be so strong? We couldn't land a scratch on him!' Slowly, Naruto raised his hand so that it was right in front of Ichiro's forehead protector. And slowly, Naruto used his favorite way to defeat his opponent.

Ptiinnnnnnggg.

Naruto flicked him. The last thing the audience saw was Ichiro flying into the wall. After the smoke cleared, Ichiro was lying on his stomach. There was an imprint of his body on the wall. Genma went to check on him. After making sure he was still alive, he made his call. "Dazai Ichiro is out. Shousa, Uzumaki Naruto!"

Silence greeted our victor, along with five other shinobis. They jumped down, each in their own fighting stance. They were Hyuuga Hiashi, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon, another chuunin, and Gaara.

"Uzumaki Naruto! You are to report to the Hokage box immediately!" the chuunin said.

"YOU!!! What were you doing in my house yesterday?" Hiashi, full of rage, yelled.

"You're not Naruto!" the Konohamaru Corps said.

"Fight me, Naruto!" Gaara said. He had already taken off his Kazekage uniform and was in battle attire.

"Hey, hey... first things first." Naruto said. He disappeared, leaving some smoke. He then reappeared with Hinata in a hug. "Hiashi-sama, I'm sorry that Hinata-chan and I lied to you yesterday, but I was trying to get some training in from you." Hinata gave Naruto a kiss on his cheek. Hiashi's eyes widened.

"You lied to me, Hinata?"

"Gomen, tou-san," she replied.

"I made her do it, so your anger should be directed at me." Naruto said.

"I'll get you for this!" With that, Hiashi charged at Naruto.

"No need to get hasty." He quickly grabbed Hiashi's arm and put him in a headlock. Naruto then disappeared and put Hiashi in his spot in the stands. He then came back and gave Hinata a kiss on the lips. She blushed lightly.

"Now as for you three, what would it take for me to prove that I'm Uzumaki Naruto?" Naruto said.

"What is his trademark technique?" Konohamaru asked. Naruto simply smirked and began to do some hand seals. All of the men who knew Naruto quickly shifted their eyes so that they would not see him.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

Wave Country

Tazuna was taking his time to build another bridge. The wave country was indeed growing in size and power. Soon, they could begin to rival some other countries. 'Hmm... we may need to take our shinobi training up a notch.' His thought was interrupted as a black figure poofed into existence. "AAHHHH! Who are you?"

"Don't recognize me, Tazuna-san? It's me, Naruto." The Naruto clone said. Tazuna's eyes widened.

"Naruto, is that really you? You're alive! I thought that you died!"

"Yeah well, a lot of people thought I died." The clone looked up into the sky. "Well, I guess I'll visit you some time when I can. See you later, old man." The clone became a cloud of smoke.

Testing Stadium

"Do you believe me now?" The real Naruto said. The stadium was overflowing with Naruto clones. In fact, the entire Konoha village was overflowing with Naruto clones. Konohamaru did not have to answer. The tears did the talking.

"Nii-san!!!" Konohamaru ran up to give Naruto a hug.

"Now, go back to your seats. I have some more business to attend to." Naruto said. The three chuunins leapt back into the stands. However, they did not head for their seats immediately.

"Now Gaara, I know that you're itching for a fight. But you'll have to wait for the matches to end. Now let's go to the Hokage box." With that, the three ninjas went to their destination.

Hokage Box

"So... you called, Hokage-obachan?" Naruto said. Tsunade did not bother to get angry. Instead, she got even.

She slapped him. Or at least she attempted to. Naruto had already grabbed her wrist. "Why didn't you tell me that you killed-,"

"Killed who, Hokage-sama?" Tsunade turned around to see all of Naruto's friends behind her, listening intently. Naruto's friends consisted of the Rookie Nine, Neji and his old teammates, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Iruka. Konohamaru and his friends were also there, too.

"Let me finish," Tsunade turned to Naruto. "Why didn't you tell me that you killed Orochimaru?" The people in the Hokage box gave out some gasps.

"Well, I tried, but I couldn't really say it since you told me about the jounin exams and also told me to 'shut up and stop complaining.'" Naruto answered. "Now I say that we watch the next match. Any disagreements?"

"One," the voice belonged to Sasuke. "How were you able to move that fast to avoid the shurikens? You did some sort of weird one-handed hand seal and then appeared right in front of his face."

Naruto looked at Gaara. "I'll tell all of you after I beat Gaara and get something to eat. You too, Gaara."

The matches progressed and, needless to say, they were quite... boring. At least it was boring to Naruto. Finally, it was time for the one-on-one matches. And who would have thought it? Naruto was first to go.

Naruto was up against some guy from the Lightning Village. They approached each other in the battleground. Genma approached them, "Now remember, if I think that you're out, then you're out. Hajime!"

Naruto decided that this match would be a waste of his time. So he put his left hand into the seal again. However, a stabbing pain in his right hand brought him onto his knees. Immediately, a blue wall of fire surrounded Naruto, obscuring him from the audience's view. He screamed in pain.

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata screamed. The fear of the unknown struck Hinata. What was happening to Naruto? The lightning shinobi, seizing the opportunity, threw a few shuriken at him. But they melted before they reached him. Naruto continued to scream in pain. But he knew that the pain would end soon.

It was the same pain that happened the day after he first absorbed the fire into his right hand. If his guess were correct, then the pain would slowly go away. And then the fire slowly changed.

The fire around him began to change. It turned from blue to yellow. And then it was no longer flames. It was electricity. The pain no longer afflicted his gloved hand. Also, his hand was no longer red, but yellow. He stood up, ready to win. He gathered some chakra into his hand and it was not a blue flame; yellow electricity was coursing through his glove.

'Now, how do I switch back?' Naruto began to think about the flames that he could produce. Suddenly, his right hand began to give off some light. When the light died down, the red glove was back. Then he thought back to the electricity. And sure enough, his glove changed back to yellow, giving off some light like before.

Then, giving off a trademark smirk, he made electricity course through his glove and dashed at his opponent. He was too fast for him to see Naruto. Naruto gave him a shocking too-fast-for-you punch to the abdomen, effectively knocking him out. Genma then appeared. After making his decision, his verdict was final.

"Shousa, Uzumaki Naruto!"

So Naruto is now a jounin! What will his life be like now? And how about that glove? Will he be able to properly harness its new power? And what about the match between him and Gaara? Find out in the next chapter!
