No Guts No Glory Chapter 20

Neji stood up and passed Naruto on the way to the ring. Naruto smirked and whispered as they passed on another "I look forward to kicking your ass all over again next round" Neji stiffened and smirked. He saw Kiba already in position to fight.

Are you cryin tonight?
Are you feelin all right?
I told the world that you were down on your luck


At the same time Sayuri was walking along the stands looking for a seat. She scanned for a seat until she heard a "HEY! Sayuri!" Sayuri turned to see Tenten with a warm smile on her face. Sayuri walked over to her and the rest of the group.

"So is this the girl that Neji is head over heels for?" Ino asked nosily

Sakura nodded in agreement "It has to be" She added

Sayuri began to blush in embracement. "So you're the one" A voice said from behind her. Sayuri turned to see the Kazekage of the sand. He Extended his hand out to her with a little smile "My Name is Gaara and you must be Sayuri. Ami right?"Sayuri shook his hand and nodded sheepishly.

"Im Aki" The girl next to him said "And he (Jabs finger at Gaara) Is my fiancee"

"I am Hourno Sakura" the Pink haired girl said

"And I am Yamanka Ino" The Blonde said smiling "Not to mention the cutest girl here"

"So I take it you're here to see Neji fight" Tenten said to Sayuri who nodded.

"I promised him I would" Sayuri replied "Besides I wanted to see him fight" they all turned their attention to the fight which was about to begin.

You were one of a kind One who'd never give in Even when they put a price on your head

Kakashi looked at each fighter and raised his hand "HYUGA NEJI VS. INAZUKA KIBA! FIGHT!" Kakashi shouted and Neji instantly held out his right palm and his other hand closely to his body. His hands began to glow a bright blue and an aura swirled around his body. The Veins around Neji's eyes bulged and his usual lavender eyes changed into pure white.

Neji ran forward striking Kiba several times in his body with his open hands and single fingers every time. He ended it with an open palmed strike in Kiba's chest sending him back a few feet. Kiba gripped his chest in pain and winced 'How the hell did Hinata deal with this kind of pain' Kiba thought then he smirked 'she just must be stronger than she looks'. Kiba began to chuckle. "Mind telling me what's so funny?" Neji asked

Has anyone heard the tales you tell

Or seen the scars you wear

Did anyone speak up when you fell

Does anybody care

Kiba shook his head grinning and formed several seals "Quadruped Nin-Pou No Jutsu!" Kiba shouted and his human body began to change to share animalistic qualities. An aura swept over his body as he finished his transformation and sunk to the ground. Kiba ran forward and began to rotate his body 360 degrees horizontally using the Gatsuuga (Piercing fang). The attack came with close range of Neji before he quickly jumped over the attack. Kiba blew right past and skidded up one of the arena walls. Kiba turned around and positioned himself for another attack.

"What the hell is that?" Sayuri asked shocked

"That's Kiba's transformation" Sakura replied quietly

Sayuri gasped before asking "He can do that?"

"That much is obvious" Gaara said "The move that shocks me is his Piercing fang technique"

"That does look pretty deadly" Sayuri replied worried

'Strange' Neji thought 'his chakra points are all rearranged'. Kiba quickly began to spin again recreating the Gatsuuga. The spinning technique was aimed to strike Neji once again. Neji sighed and pivoted his right foot. 'Rather than avoiding it I am gonna take it head on' Neji thought grinning.

"He isn't going to dodge?" Gaara said puzzled and rose from his seat "He wouldn't!"

"What is it Gaara?" Sayuri asked worriedly

Tenten smirked "Your about to see why Neji is referred to as an elite Hyuga" She said cockily

Neji began to spin around creating the Kaiten (Heavenly Spin). The Gatsuuga crashed headlong into the Kaiten. The Gatsuuga slowed down but didn't stop. Nether did the Kaiten. The Gatsuuga began to slowly push the Kaiten back. Neji gritted his teeth and rotated all of his power into the Kaiten sending the Gatsuuga and Kiba flying backwards. Kiba landed hard on his back and grunted. He reached his feet to see Neji standing away with his hands stretched outwards.

"What was that!??" Sayuri asked puzzled

"That was the Kaiten" Tenten replied "Its also called the heavenly spin supposedly nothing can penetrate it"

"I'm a bit more excited about what he'll do next" Gaara said "Just watch I've only seen Neji fight a few times but I know how he fights"

Rise again little fighter

And let the world know the reason why

Shine again little fighter

And dont let 'em end the things you do

'I wonder what he's up to.' Kiba thought and then looked around 'oh shit I'm in his divination field'. Kiba didn't have time to react because Neji ran forward and struck Kiba with both of his hands at once and continued to multiply as he screamed "TWO STRIKES! FOUR STRIKES! EIGHT STRIKES! SIXTEEN STRIKES! THIRTY-TWO STRIKES! SIXTY-FOUR STRIKES!" after Neji finished with the final blow he hit Kiba in the chest with an open palm sending him flying yet again and crashing into the ground. Kiba spat up blood and managed to pull himself up to his hands and knees.

"YES!" Sayuri shouted throwing a fist in the air and everyone around her looked at strangly "sorry" Sayuri replied "It's exciting"

"I figured he would use that move" Gaara said leaning back "It's only natural"

"You should just give up" Neji said while scanning the arena for Sayuri. "You can't beat me". Kiba reached his feet and grinned his dog-like smile.

And you were one with a cause

And a reason to be

You were a fighter for peace on this earth

Kiba's smirk grew even wider when he reached his feet "I may not be able to beat you but I promise to give you one hell of a beating!" Kiba shouted and positioned himself for another attack. 'I need to wait for the right moment then strike with everything on the spot' Kiba thought and prepared to attack.

Neji finally noticed Sayuri in the stands directly behind him. When Kiba saw the glazed look in his eyes he took his opening. He ran forward and began the Gatsuuga. Neji saw it coming at the last moment and tried to get out of the way but in the end the viscous spin smashed into his shoulder sending him flying. Neji flipped from the force and crashed into the ground.

And you were never afraid

You put your life on the line

And you were always alone out on the sea

"Is he in trouble?" Sayuri asked worriedly

"I don't know but it isn't looking good" Tenten replied not moving her eyes from the fight taking place.

Kiba stood back on his feet grinning. "You were saying" Kiba mocked "Something about not being able to beat you"

"My opinion hasn't changed" Neji said soundly "Your fate has already been decided"

"I see you talking but all I hear is blah blah blah" Kiba mocked again smirking. Kiba got into position again as did Neji. 'Okay that should have knocked him out' Kiba thought 'I wont be able to pull that trick off again I'm gonna have do use another strategy. Kiba ran at Neji and threw a right hook but Neji blocked it with his left arm and stuck Kiba in the chest with his open right hand. Kiba stepped back a few paces and held his chest tightly. Neji ran foreword and rammed his elbow into Kiba's face breaking his nose.

Kiba took a few more steps back trying to regain his composure. Kiba ran at Neji again aiming a right hook and as Neji raised his arm Kiba dropped a level and smashed his shoulder into Neji's gut hard. Neji doubled over getting the wind knocked out of him. Kiba continued to drive him until they both crashed into the wall creating a crater in the side of the arena from the force of the blow. Neji coughed up blood and leaned against the wall as Kiba took advantage of Neji's pain and hit Neji several more times in the gut trying to weaken his torso area so it would be vulnerable.

Without a weapon in your hand

You came to fight a war

They took your life but didn't know

That you would never die

Sayuri gasped "Do you think he's hurt?"

"That much is obvious" Gaara replied "The question is: Does he have enough will to keep going"

"Of course he does" Sayuri replied "He'll win this just you watch"

Neji fell to his hands and knees and coughed up more blood from his mouth. 'I can't loose now!' Neji's head screamed 'not to a dropout! NOT AGAIN!' Neji rose to his feet and wiped the blood from his mouth and clenched his fists taking an offensive position. "I WILL NOT LOSE AGAIN!" Neji screamed at Kiba and his blue aura swirled with more force than he had ever emitted before.

Rise again little fighter

And let the world know the reason why

Shine again little fighter

And don't 'em end things you do

Neji looked up in the stands directly at Sayuri and smiled. 'watch me' Neji thought 'just watch me take care of this guy'. Kiba chuckled "This is gonna be fun" Kiba replied "Well lets see what you do next".

Kiba made the first move aiming a low kick at Neji's shins and Neji jumped over the kick. Kiba threw a flurry of punches at Neji and Neji dodged every punch by moving his body from side to side. Neji planted an open palmed fist in Kiba's chest again. Kiba hacked up a ton of blood and almost collapsed but he forced himself back to his feet before Neji twirled his entire body around and crushed his left heel into Kiba's jaw. Kiba flew back against another part of the arena walls and Neji hit Kiba several times in the upper torso area then he grabbed Kiba by his jacket and tossed him over his shoulder sending him flying into the middle of the ring.

Are you feelin alright?
Cause I care, care

Run along little fighter

Oh cause I was there beside you

Never stop believing, so rise

Rise

RISE!

Kiba got back to his feet panting. 'what the hell is it gonna take to beat this guy' Kiba thought 'whenever I use the Gatsuuga he neutralizes it with his Kaiten and whenever I attack him with a normal attack he makes me look like a chump. Wait a second the Kaiten! That's it!'. Kiba removed several shuriken from his jacket.

"Oh yeah I bet that's gonna work" Neji mocked

"You just watch" Kiba replied and threw the Shuriken at Neji. Neji pivoted his foot and spun around creating the Kaiten again. The Shurikens bounced off of the Kaiten harmlessly. Neji stopped spinning to catch the Shuriken. Since the Kaiten was just activated dust and wind was still kicking up so Neji couldn't see straight. Suddenly he saw Kiba coming forward with his Gatsuuga spinning at full force. The Gatsuuga smashed into Neji who was completely unprepared for the attack. Neji flew up into the air and fell onto the ground back first. He laid on his back completely sprawled out. Kiba panted and walked over to Neji's body. Kiba stood over Neji's body and chuckled.

"No" Sayuri gasped "It can't be!" Sayuri began to cry on Tenten's shoulder. Tenten frowned and then began to chuckle. "What's so damn funny?" Sayuri asked and Tenten pointed down to the arena. Sayuri snapped her head and smiled at the sight down below.

Rise again little fighter

And let the world know the reason why

Shine again little fighter

And don't 'em end things you do

Neji had forced himself to his feet and was panting. Neji resumed his stance. "So you want some more huh?" Kiba asked

"Kick his ass" Sayuri whispered under her breath

"Shut up and fight" Neji responded. 'damn I'm almost out of chakra. I need to end this now!' Neji thought 'Looks like I'll have to hit it a lot stronger this time round'. Neji held out his hands showing that he was obviously going for the divination move again.

"This is it" Gaara said "This is the Finale"

"How can you be sure?" Sakura asked

"Neji is putting all of his chakra in his hands" Gaara said "He's gonna hit the sixty-four chakra points with twice as much force as usual"

Neji ran forward at Kiba. He began to strike with his gentle fist style and yelled at the same time "TWO STRIKES! FOUR STRIKES! EIGHT STRIKES! SIXTEEN STRIKES! THIRTY-TWO STRIKES! SIXTY-FOUR STRIKES! ONE-HUNDRED-TWENTY-EIGHT STRIKES!" Neji had doubled his final amount of strikes and stopped on Kiba's face. Kiba took the final blow and staggered a few steps before falling flat on his face.

Rise again little fighter (Don't stop believing)
And let the world know the reason why

Shine again little fighter (And keep on moving)
And don't 'em end things you do

Yeah, don't let 'em ever end the things you do


Kakashi seeing the obvious winner raised his right hand and shouted "SOUSA HYUGA NEJI!" Neji smiled and went back to the arena's secluded area and sat down.
