Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, not even any evil minions. I want an evil minion, but I digress…this is Adam's story. I have taken over since he has too many school projects. My pen name is Alliedoll. This is my third Naruto story and my first colloboration with my brother. Enjoy. Adam will be back in chapter five.

The day of the Evaluation fights came. The Saruteru clan eagerly looked at the boards to find out the identity of their opponents.

Emirii cheered happily "Guess what? I'm matched up against Kiba." She couldn't stop smiling.

Buyo was perched on her head. Emirii pet him. He wasn't looking forward to a match with Akamaru. The two of them already possessed the natural rivalry found between cats and dogs.

Adamu groaned when he found out he had to fight Naruto. "Why couldn't they have given me a match that would really test my skills? This guy's a loser."

Naruto came up to Adamu and said. "I Uzamaki Naruto will win this match no matter what you throw at me. I've heard a lot about your family and your abilities, but I can say that I am ready to face you. I am the best ninja in Konoha."

"Oh great." Adamu thought. "He's showing off again."

The other Saruteru siblings seemed pleased with their matchups.

Arishia and Witorii weren't involved in the matches because these were Genin matches. Both of the two oldest sisters had achieved Chunnin rank. Arishia watched the matches longingly. She'd been looking forward to competing today so she could show off a new skill she'd been working on. Her mastery of the Dontehuugan was also superior; she'd been training for weeks to perfect it.

Lately it seemed there was nothing else she could learn. Arishia's successes had become fewer, and it was as if she had nothing left to master. There had to be something she was missing, a new direction, perhaps.

In the corner, a masked figure stared at the field. Any casual observer would have assumed him a member of ANBU.

"Orochimaru will be pleased with what I have found out about the Saruteru clan." He thought.

"Next Match." A loud voice boomed. "Inuzuka Kiba vs. Saruteru Emirri. Combatants please take the field."

"I'm ready!" Emirii shouted confidently as she took her position.

Adamu sat sulking in the stands. His match with Naruto hadn't gone the way he planned. "Naruto may seem like a moron in everyday life, but he sure is good on the battlefield," he muttered. Adamu actually hoped his sister would do poorly in her match against Kiba just so he wouldn't have to endure the endless taunts of the rest of his siblings. He could hear them now.

"Emirii's almost two years younger than you, and she won her match," they would say when he got home.

Kiba stepped into the ring shaking his head at her enthusiasm. After all, everyone in the Inuzuka clan knew that when dogs and cats tangled, dogs always ended up on top.

Kiba gave Akameru a soldier pill to increase his speed and stamina.

"Juujin Bunshin." Emirii yelled out. She and Buyo had gotten in synch before Kiba and Akameru. They'd become indistinguishable from each other. The figure on the left leapt at Kiba and began clawing his face and hissing manaically. Kiba kicked it away from him, dispelling the technique. Emirii landed face down in the dirt.

"My turn," he said smugly.

Emirii sat up. Before Kiba was able to perform the technique, she yelled "Dontehuugan!" Kiba was paralyzed.

"What did you do to me?" He was angry. He'd expected this to be an easy win.

She was about to start the whole process over again, but she looked over at him.

"He's so hot," she said.

Instead of summoning Buyo for a second attack, she walked over to Kiba. By this time, the Dontehuugan had worn off. For a moment, they both stared into each other's eyes. Kiba then leaned towards Emirii and took both of her hands. She placed his arms around her waist and put hers around his neck. They then kissed. Instead of finishing their battle, they walked from the field hand in hand.

The crowd gaped at them puzzledly.
