Thanks to all of the reviewers
but I have one suggestion though..Don't question why Naruto is so powerful or me overdoing the Sasuke thrashing..with your constant yammering about that stuff your ruining the story for everyone. There is a reason why Naruto is powerful and there is a reason why Sasuke is weak at the moment..The fanfic just started and your already complaining about the characters development. The story has just begun..so don't go telling me about it because you'll just be giving me a headache making me loose my concentration on the story..
Hope all of you will understand that this is still my first fan fic and I just started this fan fic two weeks ago so please bear with me.. My story is still young and has not yet begun to reveal the plot..
Eerrr by the way What the hell is a mary sue?? some person said something about a mary sue in his reviews and that's been really disturbing me lately.
Well Anyways heres the 11th chapter.
Gaara of the Desert vs Rock Lee
The crowds roared loudly as Gaara appeared in the middle of the arena via Suna Shunshin no Jutsu[Sand Instantaneous Body Skill] while Rock Lee leaped from the observation booth and land gracefully before Aoba and Gaara.
"YOSH! The Azure Green Beast of Konoha has arrived!" Rock Lee announced proudly , the crowd sweatdropped by Lee's outburst while inside their thoughts 'Yup another wierdo.'
Aoba pushed his sunglasses closer to his eyes then waved his hand indicating that the match has started.
Lee wasted no time in attack Gaara with high speed taijutsu attacks. To his surprise Gaara blocked his attacks with his arms and not his sand. Gaara gave Lee a smirk then brought his hand upwards quickly causing Lee to fly back from the uppercut. 'Gaara-san is not relying on his sand anymore?' Lee thought as he got up and went back on the offensive.
Gaara was feeling abit bored since he had to fight with Lee again, he could have ended the match minutes ago but decided against it. Gaara quickly ducked low as Lee's fist came flying out of nowhere. He then quickly spun around sweeping Lee off his feet.Gaara quickly grabbed hold of Lee's ankle and spun around. Lee immediately flipped backwards bringing slamming Gaara to the ground.
Gaara then crumbled to a pile of sand which quickly started moving towards Lee. Lee backfileed backwards to avoid the advancing sand not even noticing Gaara behind him. "Dance of the Scorpion" Gaara announced as he started to move as fast as Lee with sand encircling the two of them with each stride Gaara took towards the green clad genin.
Gaara began a combo of kicks and punches followed up sand joining in ramming Lee with heaps of sand. The sand formed shackles of some sort on Lee and it held fast and tight disabling Lee's movements. Lee then proved that he could get out of the shackles by doing continues spin kicks. "Konoha Gouriki DaiSenpuu! [ Leaf Super Grand Spinning Wind]" The sand shackles lay on the ground completely dismantled by the thick-browed boy. "I've improved too Gaara-san" Lee said whilegoing into his usual fighting stance.
Gaara just smiled and started on his offensive gathering sand around the two of them. "Desert Golem!" Gaara yelled as a large amount of sand rose from behind Lee and started to take shape. The large amount of sand took the shape of a towering Gaara. Lee could not believe at what now stood before him. The golem started it's attack on Lee by slamming it's huge pair of hands at him. Luckily Lee was able to jump out of the way just in time.
Lee quickly leaped into the air to avoid the sand golem. 'What to do??' Lee thought as he desperately bounced off from the ground then to the wall then back to the ground again in avoiding the golem. 'I know' Lee thought as he healed into the air and loosened the weights on his feet and arms. Lee then swung his right leg towards the golem launching the first of his weights.
His weights hit the sand golem square in the chest creating a hole in it. Lee didn't wait for it to recover and launched his other weights at it in hopes of destroying the golem completely. Unknown to Lee Gaara had planned this all along, he was just waiting for Lee to land so he can capture him and knock him out. Lee had finally defeated the sand golem with a few well placed punches and Konoha Senpuus.
'Yosh! Now I'm faster than Gaara-san now I have the advantage.' Lee thought as he raced towards Gaara with his new insane speed. Gaara quickly smirked sensing Lee's approach at an amazing speed. 'Suna no Tate' Gaara thought as he activated his defense.
BOOM An explosion of sand and blood occured from the way Lee rammed into Gaara's shield of sand so suddenly. Gaara quickly took this to his advantage and wrapped the still dispriented Rock Lee. "Demonic Illusion: Desert Mirage" Gaara said as he sent a genjutsu into Lee's head. Gaara smirked as he turned around after hearing Lee's body dropped to the ground with a thud. Lee was now sprawled on the ground in aheap , passed out due to massive blood loss from the nose bleed.
The Desert Mirage caused Lee to imagine Sakura infront of him dancing infront of him while doing a little striptease.
"Winner: Gaara of the Desert" Aoba announced while he motioned for the Medic-nins to carry Lee away.
Gaara teleported back to the observation area where everybody congratulated him. He took a seat on the floor and closed his eyes waiting for his next match.
Next Match Temari vs Sarutobi Konohamaru
Temari flew down from the observation booth using her fan while Konohamaru just leaped down to the arena in a normal way no flashy entrances.
'Not another brat..but at least She took care of the Sakura-bitch' Temari thought as she held out her huge fan infront of Konohamaru. "Hey Kid This fan has three stars..once those are out Your dead" Temari announced while Konohamaru just smiled and replied "Eerr Okay. Have fun"
Temari's eye twitched at Konohamaru's response. Temari swung her fan at Konohamaru while yelling her attack. "Kamaitachi no Jutsu!" Konohamaru was blown back by Temari's attack only to transform into a rock after crashing into a tree casing a huge ammouth of leaves to fall of the ground. 'Kawarimi?' Temari thought as she searched for her opponent.
"Ninpou: Konoha Shuriken![Leaf Shuriken]" A voice from above Temari was heard as the leaves from the ground suddenly came to life and started spinning towards her. She quickly dodged a few then countered it with another Kamaitachi.
From the bleachers Asuma watched proudly as Konohamaru executed a high level jutsu. 'Hhhmm he must have sneaked out his grandpa's scrolls again and studied the techniques.' Asuma thought then followed his former students example as he puffed a lot of smoke. 'How Troublesome'
Konohamaru quickly reached for his Iron Knuckles and threw a punch at Temari. Temari tried to dodge the attack but due to not being good in taijutsu, the punch sent her a few meters backwards. Temari griited her teeth and opened her fan abit letting two stars show. Temari was smiling as soon she can use her trump card the Kamaitachi. Konohamaru seeing the second star being shown began to quicken his attacks.
"Kage bunshin no Jutsu!" Konohamaru said as 5 clones of himself appeared beside him. The clones immediately surrounded Temari and started attacking her with a combo of punches and kicks. A sweep from a clone caused Temari to loose her balance and she began to fall. She then suddenly met Konohamaru's foot close up when she was suddenly kicked upward where up in the air a Konohamaru came down holding onto two explosive notes.
Konohamaru then kicked Temari in the shoulder while planting the explosive notes on her legs. "Konohamaru Tai no Bakuhatsu Rendan![Konohamaru's Explosive Combo!]" Konohamaru yelled as he quickly ran away as the explosive notes exploded. Konohamaru grinned as he saw the dust cloud clear to reveal...a Temari that then disapepared in a puff of smoke. 'Bunshin!' Konohamaru thought as he searched for Temari when he suddenly heard her vooice not far from him.
"That's it brat You almost cost my my sexy legs!" Temari yelled in anger , her fan now showing the three stars. She quicklybit into her thumb and started to perform a familiar set of handseals. Konohamaru immediately started to perform his own set of handseals after biting his thumb and wiping it in his hand while praying inside himself. ' Oh please please come out please please be ENMA and not a chimpanzee.' Konohamaru thought as he slammed his hand on the ground.
Temari yelled "Kuchiyose Kirikri Mai![Summoning Double Execution Whirl]"
Konohamaru yelled back with all of his voice "Kuchiyose Enkouou Enma![Summoning Monkey King Enma!]"
POOF The sickle weasel appeared infront of Temari hurling about a thousand sickles towards the smoke that appeared before Konohamaru.
From the stands Asuma was stunned at what Konohamaru just performed. 'What the hell how did Konohamaru learn to summon??' Asuma thought when he suddenly caught Naruto grinning and yelling to Konohamaru. 'Figures Naruto would teach him how to summon'
As the smoke disperse there stood the man size White ape dressed in a jungle shinobi uiform with the Konoha Hitai ite gleaming on it's forehead,.infront of a shaking and silently praying Konohamru. Enma turned around hearing the whispers of Konohamaru and asked "Oi are you the one who summoned me?" Konohamaur opened his eyes and saw the large white ape infront of him. He silently nodded while inside he was yelling shouting that he did it.
"Hhhmm so your fighting Kamaitachi eh? Boy are you good with a staff?" Enma asked while not taking his eyes off Kamaitachi and Temari. Konohamaru nodded said that he had some practice with it. "Good Enough Kid" Enma said as he transformed into the ThunderBolt Staff.
"Let's show these what a Sarutobi can do Kid...My friends told me about you..Your pretty good." Enma said as Konohamaru picked up the Thunderbolt Staff and began whilring it around his head.
Asuma just smiled 'Now It's for the real fight..That kid is highly skilled in using a staff but he prefers the Iron Knuckles though' Asuma thought as he wach Konohamaru attack Temari relentlessly with the staff extending and shortening the distance between them.
Kamaitachi quickly threw some more sickles at Konohmaru but the boy just deflected it with the staff and extended it. The staff then slammed into Kamaitachi's chest knocking him backwards on top of Temari. Temari quickly pushed the weasel off gently and nodded to the weasel for a double effort.
Temari smirked as the weasel threw about a hundred of it's sickles towards the brat. "Dai Kamaitachi!" Temari then unleashed the more powerful version of her trademark move. The force of the winds sent the sickles faster and harder towards Konohamaru. The sickles created cuts on Konohamaru's clothes and skin as the boy tried to deflect the projectiles.
Temari quickly ran to the right while Kamaitachi went to the left to attack Konohamaru from both Directions. Konohamaru quickly thought of a plan to finish the match since he is almost out of chakra due to the summoning. He then saw that Temari and Kamaitachi were ready to attack him again. "Well Enma time to finish this..When they attack i'm gonna jump high but i can;t jump high enough with the thunderbolt staff's weight.
Enma replied "Don't worry I'll take care of it Kid" As he transformed back into the white ape again. Konohamaru waited for Temari and Kamaitachi to attack them.
Temari was panting due to exhaustion and the fact that most of her chakra is almost gone due to the summoning. Only good for one more kamaitachi, she nodded to the weasel signalling for them to attack now.
"Kamaitachi no jutsu!" Temari yelled as she swung her fan full force towards Konohmaru while the Sickle Weasel threw it's sickles towards Enma. Both of their targets suddenly did the unsuspected and leaped into the air. Well Enma leaped high into the air avoiding the attack while carrying Konohamaru.
The Kamaitachi still heading towards it's destination caused the sickled to rebound and head towards the still shock weasel along with the jutsu. PooF The smoke indicated that the sickle weasel was gone.
"Head up!" Konohamaru yelled as Temari chose that very second to look up only to meet Konohmaru's fist smash into her face ,knocking her out.
The crowds then cheered and roared in applause as Aoba announced that Konohamaru had won the match.
"Till next time Kid" Enma said as he disappeared in a puff of smoke while Konohamaru jumped around waving to everybody.
Last Match of the First Round Hyuuga Hinata vs Aburame Shino
Aburame Shino had forfeited because he did not want any of his bugs go to waste in fighting a friend. Hinata started to protest but Shino said he also had come unprepared for the match which was a total lie of course. Shino just didn;t want to poison Hinata with his bugs and hae Naruto angry with him.
Shino had seen what Naruto can do and frankly he was scared not because of his abilities but because his bugs were uneasy and kept on screaming about a Demonic Aura around Naruto when he is pissed off. Shino also didn't want to end up like Sasuke when Naruto was done with him.
Hinata just shrugged and sighed with relief She too didn't want to fight her former teammate and friend.
So the second round matches were as follows
Naruto vs Gaara of the Desert
Sarutobi Konohamaru vs Hyuuga Hinata
Meanwhile northeast from Konoha 4 hours from the village. Orochimar's army marched silently but with haste. Orochimaru smiled as he watched all of his minions that also received his gift. A curse seal and Curse seal Level two. Orochimaru would destroy the Hidden Leaf with his own creaion with a little help from his new found power. Now that the Kyuubi brat was driven out there would be noone to stop him from getting Sasuke.
He ordered Kabuto to quicken the pace of the army and that to be ready for any surprise attack from any leaf-nins. He wanted his plan to scceed this time and not go up in smoke like last time. 'Today is the day that I will be able to possess the perfect body and learn every possible jutsu known to man!' Orochimaru thought as he gaze on his fateful followers.
He will deal with Tsunade himself while his personal guard capture Sasuke and deal with any interference with his battle. He wanted to be able to crush Tsunade's neck with his now healed arms now that he can perform jutsus. He has nothing that can get in his way not even that Suna brat can stop him. The demon shukaku was useless to him anyways that's why he will have someone special deal with Gaara.
Back in Konoha
The fighters were given 30 minutes to rest and regain lost chakra or tend to small injuries. Naruto and Hinata spent the time together , eating a bowl of ramen and waiting impatiently for the next round to start. Naruto was anxious to fight Gaara again. This time it wasn't a spar and he could really be challenged by this fight. While Hinata was a little nervous in fighting Konohamaru..She didn;t want to fight that scary monkey that Konohamaru summoned. It was big..and hairy..like a caveman. Well Hinata knew that if she gave up it would be pointless since she had gotten this far.
Naruto meanwhile felt something in the wind. He immediately closed his eyes and began to concentrate. The wind told him that danger was coming and a scent of a snake lingered in the wind. Naruto's eyes snapped open as he realize who was coming to Konoha. He told Hinata to wait for him for a few seconds while he have a small talk with Tsunade. He quickly teleported towards the VIP Booth where both Kage's were sitting.
"Hokage-sama...Tsuchikage-sama .I have disturbing news" Naruto reported kneeling down on one knee and his head lowered. Tsunade was surprise at Naruto's action and formality. 'At least he didn't call me old hag' She thought as she told the teen to continue.
"I sense Orochimaru approaching Tsunade-sama...The wind has told me that the snake is amking it's way here to Konoha and will arrive in four hours." Naruto reported not even skipping a beat.
"Good work Naruto-kun I'll have the whole village on high alert" Tsunade said while motioning for him to rise. "Now go win the tournament Naruto" She said giving him a small kiss on the cheek. At this Naruto blushed as he teleported out of there and back to the arena where Gaara was waiting for him.
Back with Tsunade and the Tsuchikage. "Will you aid us Tsuchikage-dono?" Tsunade asked while focusing her gaze on the form of Naruto down below. The Tsuchikage nodded and gave her a smile.
"My troops and shinobi are on standby and are ready for battle to aid our allies the Leaf." The Tsuchikage replied while returning his gaze to the macth which would start any second now.
Naruto and Gaara stared at each other not moving an inch towards each other.
"Oi Gaara Let's have a good fight" Naruto said while giving him a foxy grin.
Gaara smiled back sadistically and replied "Sure I haven't had a good fight since we last fought Uzumaki."
So battle between the Raccoon/Badger vs The Fox is about to begin..Who will win??
Next Chapter Second Round and the Finals also Orochimaru arrives...
By the way please vote on who wins on Konohamru vs Hinata match....
