A/N: Hmm. I am writing this a hell of a lot faster than I had planned on. Well chapter three is up now. I have gotten four reviews in such a short time it is wierd. Oh well. Reviews,
RR:
Tombadgerlock: The improtance of this to Imminent Change is to show you why. Naruto went to sleep in the last chapter of Imminent Change, and what do you do when you sleep? This will have major relevance when I write the next chapter of Imminent Change for one reason, and it is very secret not even my test reader knows and I usually tell him about my plans, but this is probably the only thing that cannot be explained without a background. I have no idea what the other things are though, you confused me there, but oh well. As fast as I'm working now I should be able to get Imminent change out faster than I expected also. So yeah.
Dragonman180: I like you, you are so smart.
On with the story...
Kyoujaku and Cerberus stared each other down. They had been sent into a pit where fire would constantly burst from the ground. There were pillars and a throne in this pit. It was only a minute before they both attacked. Their speed was magnificent one who was just watching from the outside would never understand what it meant to be fighting at such high velocities. Cerberus tried to attack Kyoujaku, but he was too big Kyoujaku easily dodged. Kyoujaku was having similar problems. He couldn't attack Cerberus with a large amount of damage because he couldn't hit anything, but his legs. This went on for at least twenty minutes. Neither causing massive amounts of damage because, to put it simply, Cerberus was too big. Cerberus jumped back and used a technique he had never used before.
"You think I'm strong now, just wait." Cerberus said and the ground started to rattle and Cerberus started to shrink. There was a large flash and when Kyoujaku opened his eyes he saw that Cerberus was gone and in its place was large man bound in armor. On the shoulders of the armor the armor there were two helmets like the one the man was wearing. "Are you ready? In this form I'm even stronger than before." Cerberus said. Cerberus ran at Kyoujaku with such ferociousness that it put the fear in Kyoujaku. Cerberus' attack connected and Kyoujaku flew back into a pillar destroying it instantly. Kyoujaku recovered and charged at Cerberus' with the same ferocity that Cerberus had. He connected and Cerberus too flew into a pillar destroying it completely. He charged Kyoujaku and Kyoujaku charged him. They both punched each other sending the other to completely opposite sides of the pit. They both got up and smirked knowing that the other was just as strong and that this would be the most exciting battle either has had for years. They charged forward Cerberus connecting a fist to Kyoujaku's cheek and Kyoujaku connecting a fist to Cerberus' stomach. Both were pushed back only inches. They both exchanged punches, always changing where they hit, never blocking. With each attack the next attack became stronger, neither one backed down nor neither one moving any more than a couple of inches.
One could tell that even though not much was happening the fight was intense to these two. Never before have these two had such a challenge and they were reveling in it. Blood was leaking out of the corners of both of their mouths and they knew that their internal organs were being pushed beyond what they were supposed to. Despite everything that was happening they were both smiling. It was strength against strength will versus will, there were no tricks no special techniques this was the most honorable thing they have done in the longest time. They never did like resorting to trickery they loved fighting the enemy directly showing that they were the best not the trickiest and this was the ultimate test. The best of the best, the strongest of the strongest this moment was the moment they were waiting their entire lives for, to be in a life or death fight with nothing but their bodies as weapons. This is the way they wanted to die, and they were waiting for the other to deal that final life threatening blow, but they knew that their bodies were too strong for it. They both knew that the other was just as likely as himself to deal the final blow and it was all about endurance. Punch for punch, kick for kick, each increasing in power, each increasing their pride, each increasing their will to survive, each increasing in the damage that has been to the body.
Cerberus' armor crumbled and fell off revealing a hardened body of muscle; Kyoujaku's shirt ripped away revealing his thick muscles. Each body had bruises and welts forming, but neither relented. Once the skin was revealed their attacks came faster and more powerful. The two strongmen were at the peak of their strength they were using up a massive amount of energy and they knew that if they went on any longer then their power and energy would dissipate, but neither let down they kept attacking waiting for the other to fall knowing that it would never happen. They were both too proud and too strong as it was; they both figured that if they needed to they would go for hours. Neither even realized that their fight had gone on for hours already. They were too involved in the fight that time seemed to have just stalled and it was just them alone and time was o longer an issue. It was true time was never an issue and they knew it, nothing was relying on them finishing in a certain time so they could fight to their hearts content. Their will was strong enough to continue, but their bodies were breaking and they knew that their epic battle was soon to be closed. They were both equal neither was holding back on their strength they had pushed themselves to their limits and exceeded it further than any being should be able to.
They could see it, the end of the fight. It was right there they could see it, they could feel it, they could smell it, they could taste it, and they could hear it. Victory was right there for one of them and the both knew who it was to become victorious, they had figured it out during the fight nearly two hours ago, but they wanted to continue, They needed to be sure. It was so obvious he knew that it was futile, but he wanted to prove that he was just as good as the other. Soon though he would fall and it would be over. One last punch would end it, they both thrusted their fist into the others cheek. The force of the attacks sent a shockwave throughout the entire pit, destroying all the pillars the throne being decimated. Both beings were thrown so hard their bodies rotated as quickly as they flew through the air. They hit the walls of the cavern, but they weren't stopped. They both knew that once they ran out of chakra their feet wouldn't stick to the ground, but neither expected that their opponent's attacks could throw them as far as they had. They plowed right through the wall, neither stopping by the massive rock. Soon they went entirely through the wall and appeared outside of the mountain that they were located in, but they didn't stop. They kept spinning and flying. Finally a mile away from the mountain they started to fall towards the earth. They both landed at the same time both a mile and half away from the mountain one south, the other north. Neither one moved neither one let their smile fade. The winner was decided and they were happy about the outcome… They both lost. They both lost consciousness never letting that smile fade from their faces it was happiest thing they had ever felt losing to an opponent who deserved to win and they both knew that the other deserved to win. The figure was not happy about the outcome of that match, but the other ninjas were shocked at what tenacity was shown, they were both proud and sad at the same time. The portal switched to show what had happened in the other fights.
To Be Continued.
