Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Naruto.
A/N: Ok sorry for the delay updating but school has been seriously cutting into my writing time. I am still going to be writing this story and hopefully updating every weekend though. Ok on to other matters, after updating last week I sign on to check my reviews and what do I see? I got two more reviews making a grand total of five. I think people are reading this story because the hits are around 200 but those aren't really accurate. So if you want me to continue this story please tell me what do you think of it, do you like it, did I make a major mistake? Please I need feedback to tell me what people think about this story any constructive criticism is welcome. Of course a mistake I made was disabling the anonymous reviews so if anyone tried to review and couldn't I'm sorry. Ok enough of my rantings and let's get to the story!
-----Team 7's Training Area-----
Our favorite Future Hokage and Konoha's Green Beast are making their way over a lush green hill and into Team 7's training area. The village of Konoha is very proud of their training areas and would frequently update and repair their training facilities and tend to their training areas. Team 7's training area is no exception. Even after many ninjas trained with destructive jutsu's (cough Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu cough), stray jutsu's from spars blew up the terrain and Taijutsu training literary changed the landscape, the training area still looked new. It was this training field that Naruto and Lee were making their way through. The two hyper ninjas were making their way to a very special hill. On this hill is a monument that has the names of all ninjas killed in battle engraved on it. This is the hill that Hatake Kakashi visits every morning in honor of his late friend Uchiha Orbito, and to the annoyance of whoever is waiting for him.
It was on this hill that most of the members of the former "Rookie Nine" and Gai's Team were waiting. Absent from the group were Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru and of course Uchiha Sasuke. The first two mentioned were currently still in the village trying to get a certain Lazy Genius out of bed. Sasuke's location on the other hand is not known due to the fact that he abandoned the village two years ago in search for the power promised by a certain Sannin.
Naruto and Lee finally reach the waiting party and are welcomed by their friends. The first to welcome Naruto back is one of Naruto's old friends and prankster buddy back in the academy Inuzuka Kiba, and his now full grown dog Akamaru. Kiba has changed a lot in the two year time span. The dog user is has grown a lot and is solidly built giving him the look of a brawler, which is good considering most of his techniques focus on dealing heavy damage. Akamaru changed drastically in two years. He has grown from cute puppy to a formidable grown dog but he has not lost the cuteness in his face which girls adore.
"Hey Naruto! It's good to have you back buddy! Kiba gives Naruto a smack on the back to show his welcome. Akamaru also welcomes Naruto by licking his hand and Naruto pays him back by scratching the back of his ear.
"Thanks Kiba it feels great to see all of you again. And wow Akamaru you grew a lot since I last saw you.
Next to welcome Naruto back is Hyuuga Neji, who is now a chunnin and his cousin Hyuuga Hinata. Neji grew in size as well and is still taller then Naruto but not by a lot. However he has lost the girlish look that he had two years ago and replaced it with a cool, handsome face that tripled his fan club's members. Hyuuga Hinata changes are more noticeable. She traded in her heavy coat for a light jacket that shows of her lean figure. But the most noticeable change is the look of confidence on her face that replaced the former shyness.
Neji shakes Naruto's hand in a formal welcome. "Welcome back to Konoha Naruto. It is a pleasure that you have finally returned.
Hinata does a formal bow to welcome back Naruto. "It's nice to see you again Naruto-kun, I am so happy that you are back.
Slowly one by one the genin welcome Naruto back into their village.
However in another part of Konoha all hell breaks loose for Nara Shikamaru.
-----Shikamaru's House-----
Once arriving at Nara Shikamaru's house the two girls realize that Ino's prediction was correct. Shikamaru was still asleep in his bed, at one in the morning (this is probably normal for most of us BUT they are ninjas). Sakura and Ino quickly try to get the Genius Ninja to wake up but their efforts fail. Finally losing her temper Ino flips over the mattress causing Shikamaru to fall on the floor. After five more minutes of persuasion and threatening the two Konochi's convince Shikamaru to get ready. Unfortunately getting Shikamaru to the training fields is going to be more annoying then the girls first thought. Once Shikamaru exits the house he once again falls asleep on the front porch.
"SHIKAMARU! YOU LAZY IDIOT! GET UP THIS INSTANT!" Screams Ino.
The lazy ninja responds by rolling over to the other side muttering about psychopathic blondes.
Sakura finally loses her patience and goes through a set of hand seals. After she is finished a small black cloud appears over Shikamaru and promptly drenches him with water. Ino not wanting to be outdone also goes through some hand seals and summons a small bolt of lightning to shock the lazy-nin.
The effect of the combined jutsu's causes Shikamaru to first yell in surprise, then yelp in pain and finally start erratically twitching from the shock. However the lazy genius keeps on pretending to sleep.
The two female genin sweat drop at Shikamaru's stubbornness. Finally annoyed they decide to just drag the black, charred body of Shikamaru to the training field. Of course Sakura and Ino took the roughest path over stairs, rocks, a river, and they "accidentally" got lost dragged Shikamaru through the trap field.
-----Team Seven Training Field-----
"And then I used Kage Bunshin no jutsu to make five clones and I used Rasengan with all of them to blast that Jounin over 2 miles. And that's how I saved Ero-sennin and the Princess."
The genin and chunnin all sweat drop at Naruto's obviously over exaggerated story. Shino, now a chunnin, decides to be polite and question Naruto about his story. "…Naruto that was a good story….but what was the name of the princess again…?
"Uh….Princess Kiyoki….yeah that was her name and she was from uh…oh yeah Ramen Country!
All the genin and chunnin deadpan at Naruto's stupidness.
"Argh Naruto! How stupid do you think we are? I bet all of your stories are fake!" screamed Kiba.
"No they are not Dog-face…well I might have made up the princess but there is a Ramen Country!"
Once hearing Naruto's comment Kiba goes into a rage and tries to rip his head off. Hinata and Shino desperately try to hold off the dog user from attacking Naruto.
"Dog-face I'll show you dog-face! Let me go I will kill him and make Akamaru piss on his remains!"
"Hah you can try I'll beat you up so badly even Akamaru wont recognize you!"
"THAT'S IT! Naruto I challenge you to a fight right now!"
"Okay! I needed a fight anyway; kicking your ass will be a good warm up for me before I start training."
The two ninjas speed off to a clearing and commence their battle.
"Aww I wanted to be the first one to fight my eternal rival. Naruto's springtime youth is amazing, but I must not be defeated for I am Konoha's Beautiful Green Beast! I Rock Lee will do 1000 laps around Konoha with both my arms and legs tied if my eternal rival cannot win, and if I can't do the laps I will do 10,000……."
All the ninja's present slowly inch away from Rock Lee, pretending not to know the ninja in green spandex.
(This is my first attempt at writing a Fight Scene so I apologize before if it is horrible :D )
"Hah you won't be able to save yourself by farting this time, we will rip you to shreds right Akamaru?" says Kiba brashly pointing at Naruto.
"Ruff!" (Translates to YES!) Barks Akamaru
"Heh that fart all part of my brilliant scheme to win the battle…" Replies Naruto smugly.
"You're an idiot…." Mutters Kiba
The thought "He is still such an idiot…" goes through everyone's mind.
Suddenly the two ninjas rush at each other and exchange a flurry of quick blows. Naruto tries to gain the upper hand by slide kicking Kiba. However the dog user quickly jumps up and kicks Naruto in the chest. Naruto catches one of Kiba's kicks and using the momentum swings Kiba into the ground. Suddenly a flash of white jumps at Naruto and Akamaru is seen biting Naruto in his left hand.
"Argh get off me you stupid mutt!" Naruto kicks Akamaru in an attempt to get the dog to let go but is punched in the back of his head by Kiba. Kiba's punch sends Naruto flying two feet away but the Naruto suddenly poofs in a cloud of white smoke and turns into a log.
"Kawamari no jutsu… where is he?" Kiba looks around but Naruto is nowhere to be seen.
"Looking for me?" says Naruto from a tree in the edge of the clearing. Naruto suddenly throws four shuriken at Kiba at high speeds. Smirking Kiba takes out a kunai in order to deflect the kunai coming his way.
Suddenly Naruto goes through a set of hand seals so fast that Kiba cannot even see the individual seals. "Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" The four shuriken flying at Kiba suddenly each split into 20 making the number of Shuriken now 80.
"Shit there's no way I can deflect them all…..I guess I'll have to use that technique even though I didn't practice it much…"
Kiba suddenly goes through a long set of hand seals. A split second before the shurikens reach him Kiba slams his hands on the ground. "Doton Doryuuheki no jutsu" Kiba spits a small amount of mud out of his mouth and the mud quickly transforms into a wall of mud that block all the shuriken.
Seeing that his shurikens were blocked Naruto jumps off the tree and runs toward Kiba with a speed that rivals Lee with his weights on. Kiba suddenly flicks a small soldier pill at Akamaru who promptly eats it and turns red. Kiba then goes through a familiar set of hand seals. Akamaru jumps on top of Kiba and the dog user finishes his jutsu. "Juujuin Bunshin no jutsu!"
A stream of smoke envelops Kiba and Akamaru and when it clears there are two Kiba's next to each other. Both Kiba's suddenly rush toward Naruto and engage him in battle. One Kiba throws a punch at Naruto's face which is caught by Naruto; however the second one slashes the blond genin in the back. Once again Naruto is replaced by a log and a second later Naruto kicks both of them in the face.
"Wow Naruto-kun has gotten better…but so has Kiba-kun, so far the fight seems equal I wonder if Naruto-kun is holding back…?" wonders Hinata.
"Hmm Naruto still seems reckless in battle but his chakra control and speed has greatly improved… I wonder if it's all an act? Though Neji.
Both Kiba's gets up from their fall and starts focusing chakra into their hands. Suddenly their claws start growing until they reach four inches in length. "Nimpo Garousouga no jutsu" Thetwo Kiba's flex their new claws "Okay Scaredy-Cat its time to finish this". They both say at the same time.
Suddenly a look of shock appears in Naruto's face "…You alright Scaredy-Cat?..." the look of shock is quickly replaced by anger as the demon-vessel remembers his rival's words. Suddenly Naruto seems like a totally different person as all emotions are wiped off his face and are replaced by a serious look. "I am going to make you regret saying that…"
Naruto brings his hands together in his favorite hand seal "Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" A stream of smoke envelops the whole clearing and when the smoke clears 50 Naruto clones can be seen.
-----With Sakura, Ino and Shikamaru----
At this moment Sakura, Ino and Shikamaru enter the clearing. Upon seeing the large smoke cloud and then the small Naruto army the three ninjas rush over to their friends to find out what's going on.
"What's going on? Who is Naruto fighting?" asks Sakura and Ino at the same time.
"Naruto is fighting Kiba because they got into an argument. The fight so far is very good since both of them seem evenly matched." Answers Ten-Ten a girl in a pink Chinese shirt and her hair in two buns.
"Tch that those two idiots cannot open their mouths without getting into a fight." States Shikamaru.
"Hey you finally decided to wake up! Why didn't you wake up sooner?" screams Ino pointing at Shikamaru.
The lazy ninja shrugs "Letting you two drag me was so much easier and requires less of an effort. Besides once we reached the trap field I switched myself with a rock clone I made and switched back when we were out…"
"Huh no wonder he seemed so heavy back their…..Shikamaru I'm going to kill you!" yells a red Sakura veins pulsing in her overlarge forehead.
Both Konochi's start beating Shikamaru up with large hammers that appear out of nowhere.
After they are done, basically when out favorite Lazy Genius resembles a bloody pile of meat (Sobs I'm sorry Shikamaru I couldn't help it, they made me type this, points at Sakura and Ino), everyone starts watching the fight again.
-----Naruto and Kiba's Fight-----
"Heh still using the same tricks huh?" Both Kiba's rush into the crowd of Naruto's and start to eradicate them with their new claws. One Kiba stabs a clone in the chest causing it to disappear then quickly slashes another that tried to stab him in the back. The second Kiba jumps up stabbing two clones in the neck and then spins in a circle making more clones disappear.
Seeing that his clones were being quickly turned into mincemeat Naruto quickly goes through a long set of hand seals. Slamming his hands onto the ground he yells out the techniques name. "Daton Yomi no Muna no jutsu!" a small swamp appears in the clearing trapping both Kiba's. "Okay now to finish this..." Naruto focuses chakra into the swamp and suddenly both Kiba's start sinking into the swamp.
"Damn it I can't get out…it's already up to my arms" Suddenly Kiba starts smiling. "You think that a little swamp will stop us?" Both Kiba's start rapidly spinning until they form a drill with their body. "GATSUUGA!" The two Kiba's cut through the swamp in the direction of Naruto cutting through everything in their path.
Seeing that his swamp is rendered useless Naruto releases the jutsu and prepares to counter the attacking twin drills. Suddenly Naruto jumps back a good ten feet and the ground under him cracks open. Three Naruto clones jump out and throw themselves in the path of the Gatsuuga. As the twin drills and the three clones meet the clones glow red and suddenly a large explosion follows throwing both Kiba's flying back thirty feet and hitting the ground very hard.
A/N: Okay the fight scene probably sucked but what can I say it was my first try. I guess it was very evil of me leaving a cliffhanger right in the middle of the fight but I have to cut the chapter here since I still did not finish my HW, yeah I know I'm very irresponsible. I will hopefully have then next episode out by next weekend so I guess everyone will have to wait until then. Please review and tell me what you think and BTW every vote I got for the Poll was for Naru/Saku so if you want anything different post your vote before it's to late.
