Last time on 'The Shadows Overhead':
As the Hokages spoke, a young woman watched Naruto with sadness present in her aura. My little Naruto, stay strong. We will watch over you far as long as we can, do not expect much interference. I shall see you soon. The three figures watched as Naruto left his past grief behind and prepared to enter a whole new level of grief.

Temari had heard about what happened yesterday in the market. She honestly didn't like it one bit, but Gaara wouldn't listen to her.
"Gaara, listen to me! This person could be trying to kill all of Konoha's strongest warriors so he won't have any trouble when he destroys the village! Why won't you listen to me for once?" questioned Temari.
"Yeah. What Temari said. Once this tournament ends, who's to say the dude won't try to take down the village?" Kankurro added to the argument. Gaara had participated in a tournament like that a few years ago. The woman didn't stand a chance. Little Naruto took her down easily.
"Trust me. He won't attack the village. I discovered who it is." Gaara quickly looked to his siblings. "No. I won't tell you who he is. You will find out tomorrow." Gaara sighed as Temari started demanding him to tell who the mysterious man was and Kankurro tried bribing him.
"He he he he he he he.... You sure have your hands full, don't ya, Gaara? Having fun?" giggled a voice from the window. Gaara rolled his eyes.
"Shut up Kakashi and get the hell in here. Lazy bum can't even use a frickin' door." growled Gaara. Now it was Temari and Kankurro's turn to roll their eyes.
"Doesn't this happen often enough?" whispered Kankurro to Temari.
"Yup. You'd think they were old friends or something, not rivals for the spot of Hokages' advisor. Idiots."
"Ya know we heard that. We're not deaf." spoke Kakashi.
"Whoops. Anyways, are you sure you two want to participate in that tournament today?" asked Temari.
"Of course we are," said Kankurro. "who else is going to take down this guy?"
At 11:30, in the Forest of Death.
"Holy Hell. I guess no one liked all the peace and quiet we've had fo the past ten years, huh?" asked Kankurro. Gaara and Kakashi nodded numbly. Gaara slowly looked around.
Did you think so many people would came today, Demon? I know it's been boring in the village, but was everyone bored? Gaara asked.
No, I didn't. I thought maybe Iruka would bring his students, but he didn't have to. The whole village is here! I guess they were bored. replied the demon. The entire village had shown up, but few showed up because they were bored. They showed up because they wanted to know who the mysterious man was.
"Guys! Over here!" The trio turned around to Sakura jumping up and down excitedly. "Are you three going to enter the tournament too?!" All she recieved was blank stares. "Don't answer that. Anyways, I heard that since there are so many people in the tournament, it is going to be a regular one until the finals. The strongest two people from the village fight each other, and the winner fights the mystery man. Pretty cool, huh? At least the mans' energy won't be wasted on people who wouldn't stand a chance, right?" Sakura asked. Before they could answer, Sasuke showed up.
"Think this tournament is going to be exciting?" Sasuke asked. Gaara smirked.
"More exciting than you'd expect, Sasuke." Gaara said slyly.
"What is that supposed to mean?" asked a very curious and confused Sasuke.
"You'll find out at the end of the tournament, Sasuke dearest." Sasuke shivered.
"Don't do that, Gaara. That's just plain freaky. Hey look! The matches are being set up!
Match 1 : Sakura vs Lee
Match 2 : Kakashi vs Neji
Match 3 : Ino vs Master Guy (He he... I don't know his real name. -;)
Match 4 : Hinata vs Sasuke
Match 5 : Gaara vs Naruto
Match 6 : Kankurro vs Temari
And so on and so forth. Imagine the other ninja fighting, couse I don't remember their names.
There were many interesting reactions.
"SAKURA?! You can't fight! You're pregnant!" yelled Lee.
"What do you mean I have to fight a guy who loves himself?!" exclaimed Ino.
"I have ot fight a freaking midget?!" shreiked - yes shreiked Gaara.
"Temari! I thought you weren't going to fight!" protested Kankurro. Temari could kick his ass now!
"WOO HOO! I GET TO FIGHT!" cheered Chibi Naruto. Temari just smirked evilly at Kankurro and made a slicing action across her neck.
"Mommy..." whimpered Kankurro.
Suddenly, everyone quieted down and looked towards the direction that the sound of clanking came from. It was the 'mysterious' man. He looked around silently, observing the fighters in the tournament. He spotted Gaara and Chibi Naruto and nodded to them. Gaara smirked and Chibi Naruto smiled widely and put his two thumbs into the air.
"..." He was silent, then bellowed, "LET THE TOURNAMENT BEGIN!"
Okay people, when I get home to Illinois, I'll be able to post this. In the chapter after I get home, I will announce the characters who will be in my story. I may ask for more people to submit characters for later in the story. Hope you won't mind, but just make someone up off the top of your head, 'cuz I'll probably do something cruel to them.
