Dual Blood

Don't Own Naruto

#11

Naruto bounded over Konoha's rooftops on his way to the stadium. His face was neither serious nor focused, he had on a goofy smile on as he jumped to the next rooftop. The blonde looked up as he neared the stadium wall. At the very last rooftop he shot a burst of chakra to his feet.

"Enka ranchi!" Naruto yelled as he exploding off the ground with his last jump. He Watched the stadium wall rush by him as he quickly cleared the wall continued going up and he found himself missing the wall ledge which he had aimed for and heading straigth down to the ring.

"Oh shit!!" Naruto yelled capturing the crowd's attention as he started his descend towards the ring.

'Line bounder,' Naruto thought as he disappeared and phased into sight in line with the other genins present in the final stage.

"Over jump that one," Naruto stated as he nervously scratching his head.

"Shut up and look at the audience," The ref said. Naruto snorted then looked at the huge crowd cheering for the fights to begin. Hatch was sitting with Hinata and Kiba, Ino and Sakura were actually sitting next to each other. He glimpsed some Anbus standing around.

'Something's up,' Naruto thought.

"Hyuga Neji and Uzumaki Naruto remain in the arena. All other fighters must vacate the grounds," Genma stated. Naruto cracked his knuckles as he looked at Neji. The two fighters showed no fear or signs of doubt in their eyes.

"You looked like you have something to say," Neji said as he slowly took the familar Hyuga Ryu stance.

"You tried to kill Hinata. She's my friend and I don't like people who try to kill my friends. Time to fight," Naruto said as he tightening his fists and tensing up his body.

"Don't get into close combat with a Hyuga or you are dead," Kiba commented from above.

"Begin," Genma said. Naruto did what no one expected, he relaxed and yawned.

"What? I didn't get enough sleep last night," Naruto stated. His opponent growled as he took the offense.

"What is that idiot doing standing here!?" Kiba shouted.

"Playing possum," Hatch calmly stated. Neji attacked with a palm strike to Naruto's chest, who grinned as he jumped back. The attack had barely touched his jacket.

"If you can't hit a person your power is useless," Naruto stated as he to hovered for a second above the gorund "One of the methods I use to counter the Hyuga Ryu," Neji spun and tried to kick Naruto in mid-air but the ex-member of team 6 grinned spinning to avoid the strike.
Neji's kick was deflected by Naruto's spin, which continued as he landed. The Hyuga then charged in to attack The blonde easily dodging all of his strikes.

'He fights the same way as the old Hatch,' Naruto thought watching Neji, 'This is making feel like a 10 years old kid again.' "Stay still!" Neji yelled exasperated, Naruto did the unexpected once again. He obeyed. Neji struck him straight into the chest, the genius grinned at his 'critical hit'.

"That's itches," Naruto said. Neji looked up as his adversary's head came down with head butt.

"I hit you," Neji stated confused.

"So what? I've been hit harder and with deadlier strikes then the Hyuga Ryu. And by the way... the Gentle Fist is useless without chakra," Naruto informed " Or haven't you noticed it yet?" Neji paused and replayed his attack on his head. As his strike had neared Naruto, all of the chakra he'd focused onto his hand was sucked into Naruto's body.

"I learned a skill that makes the Hyuga Ryu useless against me. I can absorb pure chakra," Naruto stated popping his neck, "Being struck on a team with a rival like Hatch, You tend to learn things," "You're not the one who will bring me down," Neji said confidently.

"What now? Your pride can't take it that a dead last beat you even before the match began?" Naruto asked.

"My destiny is to defeat you. No Genin can defeat me!" Neji yelled as he attacked. Naruto ducked and kicked the branch-member in the gut.

"Destiny? I have defied destiny many times and evolved from it," Naruto said as he took on a loose fighting stance.

"Destiny binds everyone to their fate. You can not escape or defy it," Neji said getting to his feet.

"I'll show you then," Naruto said as he charged. Neji grinned as his body lit up with chakra. Naruto jumped into a spinning kick.

"Kaiten!" Neji yelled as he started to spin. Naruto's kick was knocked away and he spun away and into the ground landing.

"You will not be able to hit me once again," Neji said.

"An absolute defense. You release chakra from all of opening points and spin," Naruto stated, "I've seen it before. Your grandfather's kaiten was mass destruction," Naruto chuckled as he stood and dusted himself.

"How long can you keep it up?" Naruto asked as he pulled out a few shuriken,

"No trick for me. Kage Bunshin!!" Naruto creating dozens of clones. The Naruto's then started to circle Neji who had a grin on his face watching all of them.

"You can't touch me," Neji said.

"Go! Shihou Happou Shuriken no Maki!!" Naruto ordered. The bunshins jumped into the air and threw their shuriken.

'Shuriken won't work,' Tenten thought to herself recalling what she had seen of the Kaiten.

"Shuriken Kage Bunshin!!" The Naruto shouted and the Shuriken multiplied by what seemed like a hundred fold.

"Kaiten!" Neji yelled as he spun like a chakra tornado.

"I get it now," Hatch stated "Get what, man?" Kiba asked.

"Naruto's greatest strength is his stamina. That guy can battle an army and still have energy to run around a village a few times. One of the things everyone knows not to do against Naruto is get into a battle of attrition," Hatch explained.

"So… that's why he's our age but so skilled?" Hinata asked.

"Naruto was admitted into the academy earlier because of his stamina," Hatch informed them,

"That guy made it harder for me to beat him down," Neji ended his spin but was tired. All around him were a storm of shuriken spewed across the arena floor.

"I see. Tried?" Naruto asked mockingly as he walked up to Neji.

"Yo...in...my...fiel...," Neji muttered.

"What?" Naruto asked. Neji jumped into a strange stance.

"Hakke Rokujuu Yonshou!" Neji yelled as he started, "2 Strikes! 4 strikes! 8 strikes! 16 strikes! 32 strikes! 64 strikes!" Naruto was thrown back hard against the ground.

"I closed all of your chakra opening points," Neji stated. The kyuubi-vessel clasped his hands together with only his index and middle finger up.

"You can't use chakra anymore," Neji said.

"You remember the fire bullet Hinata used? She opened her opening points with a burst of chakra?" Naruto asked with a grin, "I created the Bullets jutsu to fight against the Hyuga Ryu,"

"Hogan!" Naruto yelled as he jumped into the air. His right shoulder blade exploded with a burst of chakra he rocketed at Neji, who rolled to his left as Naruto shattered the ground with his right fist creating a crater. With only his fist touching the ground he turned and charged at Neji.

"Kazegan!" Naruto yelled as the wind rocketed him at Neji and pulled the blonde in a small tight spin. Neji jumped far back while Naruto put out his foot into a vicious kick. The ground was once against shattered.

"What kind of power is that!?" Kiba yelled stunned.

"The Bullet's. Hinata… you know the fire bullet right? This is the power that jutsu can have," Hatch stated.

"Nadare Gan!" Naruto yelled as he moved his foot through the ground kicking a storm of rocks at Neji.

"Kaiten!" Was the Hyuga's answer as he became a chakra tornado again. The rocks were destroyed on contact.

"Reikon Gan!" Naruto shouted going straight at the still spinning Neji. His entire back exploded with chakra and he became a blur flying across the arena as pulled back his arms to his sides.

"Kaiten!" Neji yelled in hopes of deflecting the attack. Naruto's fists shot out from his sides. The arena exploded with the collision of chakra. The front section was knocked back from the shockwave alone.

"I see someone!" Kiba yelled as a dark figure appeared in the cloud of dust.
"I don't know. The Kaiten would, if it worked right, hurt Naruto by forcing some of his attack to hurt him," Hatch said. Neji emerged from the dust cloud.
He was bleeding badly but he wasn't out.

"Loser. This is destiny," Neji stated as he turned and looked at the dust.

"I don't think so!" Naruto yelled as he shot out of the cloud and kicked Neji's face. who was thrown to the ground. The Infamous Dual Blood walked over to the fallen Hyuga and lifted him off the ground by his collar gathering chakra into his left hand.

"You nearly died back there," Naruto stated, "I can read a soul when it's released from the body. Destiny is not set nor it can be predicted. Destiny is what you make it," Naruto's left hand shot out and grabbed Neji around his Leaf headband. Neji screamed in pain as Naruto seemed to electrocute him.

"That's enough!" Genma interceded. Naruto let go and walked away he then surveyed the damage. The bullet jutsu had destroyed much of the grounds. His Nadare Gan was what created a fissure across a good 2/3 of the arena. He chuckled as he jumped up top the balcony and collapsed against a wall once there.

"The crowd's in a uproar for the next match," Shikamaru stated.

"Maybe I should have beaten Neji fast," Naruto muttered.

"What?" Shino asked.

"Forget it," Naruto stated as he got up and leaned against the railing.

"Bring on the next match!" "We want Sasuke and Gaara!" The crowd was riled up by Naruto's match. Among the crowd several Chuunin were watching and talking.

"I see why higher up want him to go up the ranks. He could have easily defeated that Hyuga kid. He quickly countered even the legendary Kaiten. He's more than mature enough to be a Chuunin or a Jounin," One Chuunin stated.

"He has experience beyond that of even some of the newer Jounins," The other said, "That Hyuga has a far way to go in terms of maturity," "Sasuke isn't here yet," Naruto stated.

"I'm here to inform you that the match between Sasuke of the Leaf and Gaara of the Sand will be delayed. We will continue on with the next match. Shino of the Leaf against Kankuro of the Sand." 'Shit. I can't use Karasu without some trouble,' Kankuro thought then yelled,

"I give up!" The crowd started to get even more angry. Temari growled opening her fan and she then jumped onto it and she glided gracefully down.

"How troublesome. I'll just give up," Shikamaru said.

"No way," Naruto said as he pushed Shikamaru into the ring.

"Naruto. What's your problem?" Shikamaru asked. Naruto put on a goofy grin.

"Ah!" Temari yelled as she opened her fan and attacked. Shikamaru grabbed some kunais. The ground was hit with a hard blast of wind. Temari waited for the dust to clear. She growled as she saw Shikamaru standing on two kunais stuck on the wall.

"I wouldn't lose to a girl," Shikamaru stated.

"Wind slash!" Temari yelled as she swung her giant fan once again. Shikamaru jumped away as the wind slashed the wall. It looked like a monster with a giant claws that slashed it.

"She's more powerful than before and she was powerful before," Naruto commented absent-mindedly. He didn't notice Temari's faint blush.But Shikamaru saw the chance and ran for cover in the tree. The kunoichi shook her head and she focused again using her wind slash at the forest. Shikamaru curled as the water blew by him.

'This attack nullifies weapon attacks and with this much force. I can't get closer then this,' Shikamaru thought as he took off his jacket.

"This will be interesting," Naruto said.

"How?" Shino asked.

"Geniuses don't always like to show off," Naruto said. He turned back to the match as Temari jumped back as Shikamaru's shadow ran for hers. She pulled out her fan as Shikamaru's attack stopped.

'At Shikamaru's level. He can't expand his shadow's area so he has a limited range,' Naruto thought watching as Temari marked Shikamaru's fullest reach in the ground.

"That battlefield looks like a war happened on it," Sakura stated.

"I know," Ino said.

"Wind slash!" Temari swung her huge fan at Shikamaru's position. His hiding tree was ripped from the roots and Shikamaru was knocked into the wall back first. he slid down to a sitting position. He then put his hands together in a circle seal.

"What the?" Temari asked as she prepared for what she thought to be an attack.

"What is he doing?" Naruto asked as his mind recalled all of the seals he knew and… he knew a lot.

"That isn't an attack," Naruto said. Temari looked at her opponent as he just sat there with his hands in a circle seal .She growled bit prepared for her own attack.

"Wind slash!" Temari yelled as she created a massive gust of wind. Shikamaru withstood the attack. When the attack ended Shikamaru quickly made the seal for his Kage Mane. Temari quickly jumped behind the line she created but to her Surprise the shadow went beyond it. Temari dug her closed fan into the ground and pushed herself back.

"That was close," Temari said, "So you were waiting for the wall's shadow to grow," Temari stated.

"Watch out!!" Kankuro warned. A new shadow suddenly appeared and Temari was forced to jump to the side. She tripped into the trench that Naruto's Nadare Gan had created.

She stood up quickly from the trench. When she stood up she found so couldn't Move anymore.
"What the!?" Temari yelled. She saw Shikamaru turned his head and she mimicked the move. She saw his shadow enter the starting of the trench that had a deep shadow.

"Shit," Temari said. Shikamaru closed his eyes and raised his hand.

"I surrender," Shikamaru said.

"What?" Temari asked.

"I'm tried. I can't hold you for long and it'll take too long to beat you," He explained as his shadow let go of her. Shikamaru headed for the stairs as Temari headed for the stairs. Naruto grabbed onto the railing then flipped over it.

"What is he doing?" Kiba asked as Naruto landed in the battle scarred arena.

"It's normal for the ring to be repaired if the field is this damaged," Hatch explained. Naruto slammed his palms into the ground and the earth shook before exploding upwards then becoming flat again.

"Show off," The crippled Hyuga said mocking. Naruto crossed his arm and waited.
He didn't have to wait long as a storm of leaves appeared and within it two figures One was the always late Silver haired Jounin and the other the last survivor of a nearly extinct clan.

"I was wondering when you were going to get here," The blonde said as he approached them.
"What do you want?" Sasuke asked.

"Some advice," Naruto answered, "First bit is to give up. Even the Chidori alone can't beat Gaara. The Sharingan can't copy any of his skills,"

"Believe whatever you want,"

"I knew you wouldn't give up. My next bit of advice. Aim the Chidori at his shoulder. He hasn't recovered from my strike to his shoulder and watch out for the ground," With that the infamous Dual Blood disappeared in a cloud of smoke and appeared in the stadium. He sat down crossed legged on stadium wall.

Kakashi looked up at Naruto.

'How did he know I taught Sasuke the Chidori?' The Genius Jounin scratched his head as he headed up the stands. The devil of the Desert appeared in the ring within a sandstorm.

"Gaara of the Sand against Sasuke of the Leaf!" Genma yelled "Begin!" Sasuke took off at Gaara. His body a blur and his attacks just as fast. Gaara's shield came up and defended against these physical attacks.

"Speed is good but unless you're faster than his sand then it's pointless," Naruto mused, "It seems like it has become faster," Sasuke fainted attacking Gaara's front then appeared from behind striking Gaara with a vicious strike. The sand armor cracked on the youth's face.

"Armor of Sand eh? I'll rip it off then I'll rip you apart," Sasuke said as he charged again. He went under the sand and struck Gaara in an attempt at the Lion Combo. He found Gaara was too heavy for it. Sasuke then grabbed him and did something normally the unpredictable prankster did. He bashed his head onto his opponet's head.

The said prankster snorted then laughed a bit.

"Sasuke has been hanging around Naruto too much," The only other member Team 6 commented with a the traces of laughter in his voice.

Sasuke moved back as a sphere of sand appeared around Gaara. The Uchiha charged and punched the sphere but saw a storm of spikes come out at him. He connected his the punch, while dodging the spikes, only to find he had punch a wall.

"What were you thinking Kakashi. Speed won't win this match," Gai said.

"Speed is just a key to Sasuke's true ace," Kakashi explained, "Just watch," Sasuke somersaulted until he reached the wall where he struck and grabbed his left arm.

"This is the ace I taught Sasuke," Kakashi said as chakra gathered at Sasuke hand. Sasuke looked at Naruto and grinned as if to mock him before he turned and charged "What's with that sound?" Sakura asked.

"You don't mean...," Gai trailed off as Sasuke reeled back.

"The sole original technique from the genius copy ninja," Gai stated, "The Chidori," Gai finished off as Sasuke pierced through the shield, "The sound is produced by the chakra. This attack was meant for assassination," A fist of sand exploded from the shield itself. Sasuke wh still had his arm in the sphere was hit full force. The shield then came down revealing a bleeding but grinning sand genin.

"Get Sasuke out of there!!" Naruto yelled.

"Desert avalanche!!" Gaara yelled as the ground exploded up then formed into a tidal wave of sand coming at Sasuke. Kakashi disappeared as Naruto held out his hand.

"Kaze Tate!!" Naruto yelled as he protected the watchers from the attack. Sasuke was staring in disbelief as the attack came down. Kakashi appeared next to Sasuke and grabbed him before then disappeared once again. The sand struck hard against the shield of wind but it held.

"Winner Gaara of the Sand!!" Genma yelled quickly ending the match.

"We will have five minutes of intermission," The Hokage announced. Naruto waved off the shield. Naruto and Gaara looked at each other then broke off. The blonde stopped beside one of the Anbu.

"I'm sensing numerous ninjas just outside the village ready to strike," Naruto whispered. The Anbu nodded then jumped off. Naruto looked down at the empty ring.

'So this is the part where I get my revenge against the demon,' Naruto thought as he stood behind the seats. He snapped out of his thoughts when a drink was pushed in front of him he turned to see Hatch on his clutches with the drink in his right hand.

"Thanks," Naruto took the drink.

"Calm down Naruto. No point in getting angry or excited," Hatch advised,

"Remember focus on the fight. Don't let your emotions blind you. You control your emotions. Your emotions don't control you," "I have a special jutsu with Gaara's name on it," Naruto stated coldly.

"Don't kill yourself in the process through," Hatch warned as he walked of on his clutches.

"No promises," Naruto said as the Hokage announced the intermission end.
Gaara appeared in the ring in a sandstorm while Naruto faded into it.

"Ready? Begin!" "Katon! Karyuu Endan!!" Naruto opened his mouth to let an intense blast of fire that turned part of sand shield to glass.

"Suna bakudan!!" The shield of sand exploded into a storm of sand spikes at Naruto.

"Demon claw!!" Naruto destroyed the spikes with a red slash of chakra. The sand was scattered all over the ring.

"Shit," Naruto growled as he jumped high to the air, the sand becoming spikes all over the arena. The blonde slapped his hands together like he was praying.

"I know this move!!" Sakura shouted exited as Naruto threw out his arms in a cross fashion.

"Divine judgement!" Naruto screamed as a white blast came out of his mouth. The stadium shook to it's core and konoha's fighter disappeared in a cloud of dust. A few seconds later he was knocked out of it. The Leaf-Nin crashed hard into the stands.
The spectators made their way out of the way as he did.

"Dammit. That smarts," Naruto started to pull himself out of his crater when a wave of sand came out of the dust and slammed him into the wall again, the sand solidified over him.

"Naruto!!" Sakura yelled.

"Kuro Gan!!" Naruto exploded from the sand wall. His right arm was a black inferno.

"His second most powerful bullet, "Hatch said.

"What's his most powerful?" Kiba asked amazed as Naruto landed on top of the ring's wall. The stadium was in ruins, many of the spectators had ran for their lives.
Naruto held up his right arm in front of his face and he grabbed his wrist. The chakra was visible as he gathered it in his right arm.

"Kami Gan!!" Naruto yelled as the chakra turned white and engulfed his arm.
Gaara watched him carefully. Yondaime's legacy jumped into the air. He propelled himself with a burst of chakra sending him at Gaara.

"Saikou Zettai Bougyo Shukaku no tate!! Gaara yelled.

"You think a plush toy will stop me!!!??" Naruto shouted as he struck the shield. His forearm bone snapped on impact. But still, he pressed his left hand on the shield.

"Nova flare!!!" Naruto screamed as his Ryu seal lit up and his left arm was engulfed in an overload of chakra.

"Impossible!!" Shukaku's carrier yelled as he and his shield were engulfed by the attack. Naruto collapsed against the ring's walls. His right arm was broken from striking the shield and his left arm was just barely attached the flesh there was scorched down to the bone, it could be even seen.

"That has to be it," Naruto said as he relaxing. A loud roar rang through the stadium.

"No way!!" Naruto yelled barely dodging a fist of sand. That was more like a curled up claw. A partly transformed Gaara jumped onto the arena wall.

"Soul unleash," Naruto growled as his regular chakra drew in then exploded in a red chakra. Gaara grinned as he found this boy more interesting. Naruto's arms healed themselves.

"Follow me," Gaara growled as he jumped off. Naruto growled as his fangs flashed. He jumped across the ring and chased his target. He didn't notice the white feathers falling down on the arena marking the gunshots on the stadium and the start of the invasion.

"Get back here Gaara!!!" Naruto roared as the sand nin jumped twisting in the air. He landed on a tree branch.

"Now no one will interfere," The partly transform sand demon stated.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Naruto agreed in a growling voice.

"Ah!!!" The two demon vessels charged at each other.
