Naruto's P.O.V.
"First up are Sakura and Lee. FIGHT!"
"Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean that I won't fight." Sakura yelled to Lee. I smirked. If Lee is ever going to make it as a ninja, he'd attack her with no regard for her life. Can't expect it though. It's his wife and she's with child. No fun.
Sakura launched herself at Lee and took a swipe at his legs. She hasn't improved much, but Lee sure has. He was already half way in the air when she launched. Lee came flying down at Sakura and poked her stomach. Sakura erupted into a fit of... laughter? What the hell? She's ticklish. I sighed and held up my left hand.
"The winner by incapacitation is Rock Lee over Rock Sakura, five minute break." I walked over to where Sakura was yelling at Lee and Gaara, Sasuke, Kankurro and Chibi Naruto was just watching. Ino was backing her up.
"How could you do that to me, Lee?! You never use my weakness in battle!" I spoke up.
"Actually, he did precisely what he is supposed to in your situation. Use your enemy's weakness and your strength in battle. He couldn't attack you head on, so he used your being ticklish and his speed to attack. Next time, don't leave your weakness out for the world to see. If you beat that one enemy, another may have been watching and might attack while you are unguarded. Be careful in battle... In fact, don't go into battle as you are anyways. The next match will begin is a minute, please return to your seats.
"Next is Kakashi and Neji. FIGHT!" I have no idea how Neji fights, or Hinata, or pretty much anyone else, so I'll skip them and tell you who wins each match.
"WINNER! Hatake Kakashi!"
"WINNER! Master Guy!"
"WINNER! Uchiha Sasuke!"
"TIE! Gaara and Naruto!"
"WINNER! Temari!"
"ROUND TWO! Rock Lee vs... Uchiha Sasuke!"
"WINNER! Uchiha Sasuke!"
"Hatake Kakashi vs... Master Guy!"
"WINNER! Hatake Kakashi!"
"TRIPLE FIGHT! Gaara vs Temari vs Naruto! First one down loses!"
WINNERS! Gaara and Naruto! Everyone take a 15 minute break!" I walked over to the winners and started talking.
"Congatulations on winning your matches. The fight after this will have all of you competing against each other at once. Rest up, because I'm sure at least one of you will be ganged up on. The last two standing will fight after a 20 minute break, then fight each other. If they actually fought before the other two went down, if not, they will fight. The winner will face me. Good luck to all of you. Sasuke, Kakashi, Gaara and Naruto, prepare for one hell of a battle." I walked away. Inside, I was giddy. Maybe now I can actually try some of my powers on the winner!
/Who do you think will win?/
Chibi Naruto. You taught him your signature move, and no one else knows it, so they will be shocked and he can beat the crap out of his opponent while they drown in their own perverted thoughts.
/I think Sasuke-bastard will win. If he hasn't gotten stronger over the past ten years, I'll give up being a ninja and become a monk. No Ramen either./
You're that sure he's gotten stronger? What if he got weaker?
/I'll eat you./
He must have got stronger!shrieked Kyuubi. He didn't get sealed just to be eaten later!
Author's P.O.V.
"IT IS NOW TIME FOR THE SEMI-FINALS! The combatants - Gaara, Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi - will be facing off in a Battle Royale. No teams, but teaming up on someone is allowed. Ready? Set... BEGIN!
While Gaara and Kakashi duked it out, Sasuke turned to Naruto. His eyes narrowed in sadness. This Naruto reminded his so much of his Naruto. Maybe he was reincarnated...? NO! Naruto would never allow himself to be reincarnated without a goal in mind! Sasuke prepared to fight. In the backround, Gaara and Kakashi collapsed at the same time, leaving the two younger males to decide who the winner would be.
Sasuke tensed as Naruto leapt at him. He did a few familiar hand seals and... POOF! A tall, female, naked version of Naruto stood in place of the young boy and blew a kiss in Sasuke's direction. Sasuke was in shock, but not by perverted thoughts. 'Maybe this kid is my Naruto reincarnated! They have the same techniques, unless...' Sasuke's eyes widened to their full extent and he swung around to look at the stranger. The smoke cleared, and everyone could see the positions the fighters were in; Sasuke was staring at the stranger and Naruto had hooked his arms around his waist.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY SON?!" Lee screamed.
"Lee... that is the Sexy no jutsu..." Sakura whispered.
"So? What about it?"
"That was our Naruto's signature move..." Lee's eyes bulged out of his head and turned to the stranger. The stranger looked around at everyone quiet and staring at him. His shoulders slumped and he stood up.
"Damn kid, wasn't supposed to use it right at the beginning of the fight... But I still didn't think it would be that easy to figure me out..." mumbled the stranger, but everyone heard him, it was that quiet. The stranger tore his cloak off his body and the crowd gasped. Uzamaki Naruto had returned to the Hidden Leaf Village. No shit... --;;;
"Hello everyone! How've you all been doing! Is anyone happy to see me?" All was silent until Sakura jumped from her seat and ran to Naruto.
"Oh, Naruto! You've changed so much! You're not shorter than me anymore! How have you been? Have you been eating alright? Did you get sick? Have you gotten stronger? Why did you leave us? How d-" Sakura was cut off.
"All right, I'll answer your questions after the tournament." Sasuke smirked.
"Kid, you're going down. I have a secret that you'd like to know, Chibi and Mirai Naruto. Do you want to know?" The two Naruto's nodded. "Good... SEXY NO JUTSU!" Another POOF appeared and the smoke cleared, showing a naked female Uchiha Sasuke. Her long black hair was pulled back into pig tails and her body was slim, but not overly so. She winked at Chibi Naruto and he blushed.
"I give up! I don't want my parents to be mad at me!" He turned away. Sasuke smirked and turned back to male form. Mirai Naruto smiled.
"Nice body, Sasuke! Both in male and female form!" Now Sasuke turned red from embaressment.
"Okay, now I'll answer your questions Sakura. After we find a privacy room. I want Gaara, Sasuke, Kakashi, and Chibi to come with me.
In the Hokage's Office
"All right, Naruto. You've finished you tournament, so answer my questions."
"Okay, here I go. I've been better. No, I haven't been eating well. I got sick once because I was poisoned. Do you really think I won't get stronger Sakura? Shame on you! I left because I fell for a weak ninjutsu. Now what are the next questions?"
"How did you get stronger? Did you miss us? Where did you sleep at night? Did you get into a lot of fights? Were you in danger a lot? Why were you poisoned? Those are my questions for now."
"I did push-ups and sit-ups. And I drank lots of juice. Of course I missed you. I slept right where I as when I was too exhausted to move or in a tree house I built if I was just lazy. I got into about 15 fights daily and of course I was in danger a lot, I'm the Kyuubi, remember? I was poisoned because I ate a poisoned mushroom that was already poisonous. Smart, huh? Any more questions?"
"Why did you come back?" Sasuke asked.
"A storm unlike we've ever seen is coming this way. I can sense something dark in it and it ain't comin' for tea and crumpets. Gaara, you could sense it, right?"
"I sensed nothing of the kind. Has Kyuubi been training you?" Kakashi gasped.
"NARUTO! You've allowed yourself to get a new sensei? What, am I not good enough of a sensei for you?" He sniffed back a few tears.
"Kakashi-sensei, don't start pulling those fake tears on me." Naruto looked at a crying Kakashi. "You're not faking, are you? ... YOU'RE FAKING IT!" Kakashi started laughing.
"You fell for it! Jeez, you're a dork!" Kakashi was laughing while Sasuke and Naruto were like O-O staring at him.
"Okay, who the hell are you and what have you done with Kakashi-sensei?" demanded Naruto.
"I am Kakashi! I'm just so happy to see you again, Naruto! It's been routine around here and everything was predictable!" Kakashi hugged Naruto and cried real tears. Naruto sighed.
"I missed all of you as well. A lot of times, I wanted to give up and come back, but Kyuubi would fight me until I forgot. Sasuke?"
"Mm, what is it?"
"Can we go home now? I don't want to be seen with a sobbing Kakashi. It'll make my reputation even worse than it already is, ya know?" Sasuke looked at him. "Please?"
"Okay Naruto, we'll go home." Sasuke smiled sweetly and nodded. KAWAII!!! ( -)
5 minutes later
In Sasuke's room
8:00 PM
Sasuke's P.O.V.
I don't believe it. Naruto has come back to Konoha and asked me if we can go home. He considers my home to be his home. I smiled like a goof and Naruto looked at me strangely while pulling on his PJ's.
"What?"
"Are you okay, Sasuke? You look... stupid. No offense, but you really do. Why are you smiling at me like that? You're planning something lecherous, I know it. Tell me what it is and I might willingly participate." I smiled wider.
"Who said anything about you having to willingly participate? You'll be too busy yelling my name while I t-"
"OKAY! Enough info! Can we go to bed now? Or within the hour?"
"Within the Hour of the dragon."
"When is that?"
"About 4:00 am."
"Fine. Bastard."
"Dead last."
"Jackass."
"Sexy."
"What did you say?"
"Idiot."
"Asshole."
"Ino-lover."
"EWWWWWW! Bed wetter."
"EXCUSE ME?! Uke."
"I'm your uke and you're a screamer. It all works out!"
"Doesn't that mean I'm uke?"
"No. I'm silent and your as noisy as an elephant on a stampede."
"I hate it when you're right."
"Get used to it. Now get over here!" Both of us collapsed onto our bed laughing like we hadn't done in ages.
"Love you, Bastard."
"Love you too, Dobe." Naruto quickly fell asleep,but I stayed up for an hour, staring out the window and thanking any god that could hear me for returning Naruto to me.
"I'll make sure Naruto never leaves again. Naruto will stay and we'll finally live in peace.
Sasuke, that is never going to happen.
Hello. Sorry the past chapters have been so short, but I've had to watch Desaun while he rode his little bike. I'm coming home on either Sunday or Monday. Started a new fiction yesterday. I might've already mentioned this, but I wrote the sequel to this before I even thought of this.
Next time on the Shadows Overhead:
"What do you mean, 'Both Naruto's are gone'?! They were just here a few minutes ago!"
