A Demonic Bloodlust

A/N: Why is everyone in the village dying? Why is everyone who is alive blaming Naruto? It could be because of the weird way they died. Naruto feels like he is being framed and wants to know why. Find out in this bone-chilling mystery!

(Sorry about my story going on then off then on I made a HUGE screw up so I had to fix it. Sorry again.)

Chapter 3: The Tournament Begins

(Kakashi's POV)

Kakashi sat in the meeting room, reading. This time he was reading his favorite book, "Make Out Paradise". As he read, the other teachers came.

"You're late," said Kakashi simply as he put the book up. "It's unusual for you guys to be late."

"And it's unusual for you to be on time! Hahaha! How's it going old friend?" said Kakashi's rival, Meito Gai. "It has been a while hasn't it."

"Sure has but we need to get the meeting under way you two," said another friend and fellow teacher, Sarutobi Asuma.

"Quite right," said the only female teacher present, Yuuhi Kurenai. "We should start the meeting bt suggesting the two students who are either qualified or willing. I'll start the process. I, Yuuhi Kurenai, have chosen Inuzuka Kiba and Hyuuga Hinata."

"Hinata? Why Hinata or even Kiba? Why didn't Shino join?" questioned Asuma. "Wasn't he qualified for the job?"

Yes, Asuma, he was but he didn't feel like fighting tomorrow."

"OK. My turn," said Kakashi before the two could talk any more. "I, Hatake Kakashi, choose Uchina Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto. Asuma?"

"I, Sarutobi Asuma, nominate Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino."

"I, Meito Gai, suggest Rock Lee and Hyuuga Neji. That is all the canidates so let's get started on the fighting order," said Gai as he grabbed a pen and some paper for the list.

(Naruto's POV) (I want you guys to see the fighting order as the tourney progresses)

"HEY SAKURA!" shouted Naruto as he ran up to her. "Guess what, I know something that you don't!"

"That'd be a first," said Sakura sarcastically as she kept walking. "What is it?"

"Thr genin are having a tournament tomorrow and I'm gonna win!" screamed Naruto as he thought about punching Sasuke in the face.

Sakura said, "First, Sasuke, the others, and myself know about the tournament, heard about it weeks ago from our senseis. Second, if you win, the villagers would die from your overdose of bragging."

"WHA...? You knew about the tourney and didn't tell me? Why?" yelled the young ninja as he stopped in place.

"Because you should've been awake when Kakashi-sensei said it, you baka," laughed Sakura as she left an enraged Naruto. He then went for a walk to the Ninja Academy.

When he got there he was surprised to see Kakashi sleeping on one of the desks.

"SENSEI, WAKE UP!" he hollared at the sleeping Jonin. "Why didn't you tell me about the tournament, huh?"

"Because you were asleep in my class (again) so I was gonna let you figure it out by yourself. I didn't know it would take you this long, hahahahaha!" said a sleepy Kakashi. "Now let me sleep. Besides, if you just found out about the fights, don't you think that you should start training."

"You're right, gotta go, see ya!" exclaimed Naruto as ran for home.

'What a weird kid,' thought Kakashi as he laid down for another nap.

The next day...

All the teams lined up beside the school as the tournament's beginning drew nearer. Everyone who was watching (including Sakura, Chouji, Shino, and Ten-ten) were excited while the combatants were nervous, everyone but Sasuke and Neji that is. At about noon, the front doors opened as the Hokage came out to greet everyone. Once this was done, Neji, Hinata, Shikamaru, and Naruto were put into one room as Sasuke, Rock Lee, Kiba, and Ino were put in another (imagine Ino's delight). Each fighter was given a colored pager, and when it goes off, that person and the person with the corrosponding color (someone in the other room) will fight.

A minute later, the blue pager goes off. A voice came out of nowhere and yelled, "Hyuuga Neji vs Uchina Sasuke!"

"Guess I'm up at bat first," said Sasuke as he left for the arena.

"This should be interesting," said Neji as he walked out of the room.

The genin tournament of the Village Hidden in the Leaves has begun.

A/N: So? Is good or bad? Understandable or dumb? The only way I'll know is if you send in a review!
