Cocoa-latte: Bah! Sugar is good! Thanks for everything!

HikaruOfDreams: Thanks for reading and reviewing! Will do my best!

Night-Owl123: Thanks for encouragement too! Will update soon!

Zero32000: Sorry for the slight confusion. Thing is that Katsu was made a Chuunin unofficially as he did not really take part in the Chuunin exam. Besides he did explain his reasons for taking part in the Chuunin exam and the reason is that he wants to be acknowledged for what he is and not what he's title is. As for why he is an ANBU commander, it'll be explain later.

NOTE: I may skip or fast-forward some of the matches.

The Emperor Kage

Chapter 8: Chuunin Exams finals!

After Naruto's 'grand' entrance, Genma started explaining that there has been a change in the matches as something had happen to one the finalist named Dosu. Thus the match ups are as follows.

Uzumaki Naruto .vs. Hyuuga Neji

Gaara .vs. Uchiha Sasuke

Kankuro .vs. Aburame Shino

Temari .vs. Nara Shikamaru

Akemi .vs. Katsu

"Oni-chan, you are fighting me!" Akemi exclaimed.

"Hmmm… I think I just forfeit that match…" Katsu said.

"Oni-chan… don't you hold back just because I am your little sister!" Akemi said with a glare.

"Right… then don't you hold back either…" Katsu said with a grin.

Katsu's POV

Genma then told us to head to the waiting area as the first match was about to begin. The third hokage then invited the Kazekage and announced the start of the Chunnin exam finals.

Naruto sure was one rash kid… he really don't know how to use his kage buushins properly. I wonder… why didn't he just summon a toad to settle this? Now that his tenketsus are blocked what will he do? Just as I was thinking that I saw nine streaks of orange chakra burst out of Naruto.

'Kyuubi's chakra? Jiraiya-sensei must have taught him how to use it.' I thought with a smile. Besides it was inevitable that Naruto would win as Genma announced that Naruto had won the first round.

Sasuke still haven't arrived yet… Kankuro quit his match… weird and suspicious indeed. But at least Shikamaru 'did' his best… who can blame him? He haven't even learnt Shadow Hands technique… and now it's my match… MY MATCH! SO SOON?

Normal POV.

Akemi entered the arena first followed by Katsu. Genma stared at both the competitors before announcing to the crowd, "Match number 4! Her highness, Akemi-sama versus his highness, the crown prince, Katsu-sama!"

Gasps of surprise was heard from the audience. People then started chanting our names and even phrases like 'Long live the emperor! Long live the royal family!'

"Go Katsu-kun!" cheered Naruto.

"If you lose to Akemi, you'll have to bring us on a shopping spree!" Ino yelled.

"Akemi! Will you date me if you win?" Kiba shouted, only to earn glares from the audiences and Katsu.

"Shut up Kiba! I'll kill you if you try to touch my sister!" Katsu yelled back.

'Always trying to embarrass himself… worse than Naruto…' thought Shino.

'I bet that some of the feudal lord were actually betting on which of us would win…' Katsu thought before yelling at Genma, "And you! Stop with formalities!"

Genma then stared at Katsu before biting his toothpick and announcing, "Match number 4, begin!"

"How should we start this off?" Akemi asked.

"You could go first…" Katsu said.

"Fine!" Akemi yelled dashing straight at Katsu throwing a punch. Katsu shifted his head to left to avoid the punch. Katsu then use his palm to hit Akemi on the shoulder sending her flying to arena's wall. Akemi crashed into the wall causing a crater on the wall. Katsu then dashed in front of her, stamped his foot on the ground before saying, " Earth Dome technique!"

The ground then rose up and 'balled' Akemi up. Katsu stared at the earth ball before saying, "Akemi, you can come out now…" Akemi then floated up from the ground, directly behind Katsu.

Akemi then did some fast seals and ended with a serpent hand seal and saying, "Muddy Wave technique!" An earth wall suddenly rose up and became a mud. As soon as the earth wall became mud, it started splashing down on Katsu. The mud wave then hit Katsu only to disappear into a puff of smoke.

"Kage buushin?" Akemi muttered. Suddenly Akemi looked down on the ground and saw 3 black streaks heading her way.

"Shadow Copy technique?" Akemi said while running from the 3 black streaks.

"Not really… shadow copy only has one shadow following… this is the Death Capture technique!" Katsu said, "Unlike shadow copy, death capture does not require shadows to move further! The distance it can travel is only limited to how chakra you have to allow it to move!"

'Death Capture technique? It's so like shadow copy and yet it doesn't need shadows to move?' Shikamaru thought.

"One more thing. This is an original technique of mine!" Katsu said with a grin. Akemi then ran up the wall with the death capture following her up the wall. Akemi then leaped off the wall and then yelled at her brother, "Oni-chan! I have just outwitted you! Now that I'm in mid air, your death capture can't follow me!"

"On the contrary, it can!" Katsu said. Suddenly hands protruded from the black streaks. 3 black human-like beings then jumped out from the streaks.

"What!" Akemi said in shock as the black shadows clinked on to her. Katsu then smiled, "Death Capture isn't just an immobilisation type technique, it's also an offensive and defensive technique!"

Akemi then started to beat the black beings off her as she was falling to the ground but for every black being she beat off 3 more black beings jumped out from the streaks to take the place of the beaten one. Eventually Akemi and the black beings crashed down onto the ground. Katsu then released his Death Capture technique and started walking towards the area where his sister fell.

'Akemi… please be alright…' Katsu thought.

Just as Katsu was about to reach the area where his sister fell, a gust of wind blew the smoke away revealing Akemi standing up. A golden ghostly dragon then appeared from no where and began spiralling around Akemi's body. Her skin now had a kind of shiny and scaly texture to it. Her eyes changed from blue to green. Her eyes now looked like a snake's eyes.

"Oni-chan! I am serious now!" Akemi said, "That's why I am using Dragon's Body!"

"Hey Chouji! Do you think that's the advance bloodline Katsu-kun was talking about?" Ino asked.

"I think so… after all he did say we would see it at the finals…" Chouji replied while munching on chips.

FLASHBACK

"Akemi-chan is so strong! She beat both forehead girl and me so easily! Makes me wonder whether she has an advance bloodline." Ino said

"Heh! Actually we have an advance bloodline!" Katsu said.

"Really? What is it?" Ino asked.

"You'll see it during the Chunnin finals! I have to go now!" Katsu said before leaving Chouji's room.

END OF FLASHBACK

"A bloodline that isn't just on a specific body part but on the whole body, including the skin…" Asuma said.

"But what are its effects?" Kurenai asked.

"Who knows…" Asuma said.

Akemi then vanished from sight. Appearing in front of her brother to deliver a punch to the gut sending Katsu kneeling on the ground. Katsu then looked up and said, " You have improved… but there is still plenty of room for improvement."

Katsu then vanished from sight like Akemi did. Akemi chuckled before disappearing from sight.

"Where did they go?" Sakura asked.

"How would I know? They are just too fast…" Ino said.

A clash of metal was heard and then Akemi appeared on the roof above the Hokage and Kazekage. Katsu appeared on the roof opposite a second later. Akemi was panting heavily before she said, "Oni-chan… you're strong… but the eyes of the dragon is still able to see you." After saying that, Akemi jumped off the roof and performed a set of hand seals before ending with the seal of the tiger.

"Fire element! Dragon Fire technique!" she said as she blew out flames in the shape of dragons.

Katsu then jumped off the roof, slapping both his palms in front of his chest. Immediately mud began appearing on Katsu's skin covering his entire body until a mud sphere was formed. The mud sphere then dashed straight through the Dragon Fire technique.

"What? What technique did Oni-chan use?" Akemi muttered in shock. Akemi then raised her hands to catch hold of the mud sphere, however the mud sphere pushed Akemi all the way to arena's floor. Both princess and crown prince crashed into the ground creating a crater bigger than the ones created during Naruto and Neji's match.

When the smoke cleared, Katsu and Akemi were both standing up. Katsu looked at his sister and said, "Pretty good! You have mastered the uses of Dragon's Body."

Akemi smiled at the comment and said, "But I would truly like Oni-chan to fight with Dragon's Body."

Then both of them dashed at each other. Akemi started doing a set of hand seals ending with the seal of the rat.

"Earth element! Earth shuriken technique!" Akemi said, as clods of earth and dirt starting rising from the ground and flying towards Katsu.

"Too slow!" Katsu said as he weave between the projectiles heading towards him. He dashed up to sister. Katsu then stared deep into his sister's eyes saying, "Dragon eye! Astral Dragon's flight!"

Saying that Katsu's eyes turned green with silts. Akemi's eyes widen before she fell to the ground unconscious.

'So this is the power of the royal family… each one is strong in his or her own way… Dragon's Body is still a mystery though…' Genma thought.

'Dragon's Body… the doujitsu (eye technique)… could be as strong as sharingan or stronger?' Asuma thought.

'Seems like the Dragon's Body is able to protect it's user from many things… today we have seen it's power… but how much of it's power do we not know?' Kurenai thought.

"Winner! His highness the crown prince, Katsu-sama!" Genma announced.

Katsu glared at Genma before waving to the crowd. He then turned to Genma and said, "I'll let it go for now but please don't use formalities otherwise…"

And that's the all folks! Thanks for reading and reviewing! Sorry if this update is late but I kinda had a slight writer's block (don't all of us suffer from it from time to time?). I'll try and update soon!
