Chapter Seven: Dragon Power and Fights Galore
"Let's fight to our fullest, Zeke," Naruto said. Zeke nodded and began sealing. Naruto's eyes flickered into the Sharikugan and began copying the jutsu. Show me, Naruto thought as he began his own seals. "Daichi Nami no Jutsu (Earth Wave Technique)!" Zeke yelled. The ground began rolling towards Naruto. Naruto's image flickered as he dodged the attack. "Kageryuudan no Jutsu (Shadow Dragon Blast Technique)!" Naruto yelled from behind Zeke.
Zeke flipped away from Naruto as a dragon made of pure shadow attacked him. Cheers came from the crowd as the dragon split into four smaller versions and charged at Zeke. "Kyousei Dobei no Jutsu (Great Earthen Barrier no Jutsu)!" Zeke yelled as the dragons neared. The dragons absorbed into the barrier and shot out the other side as the full dragon again. Zeke jumped backwards and tossed a flash bomb at the creature. The bomb went off, shredding the dragon.
Applause came forth as the shinobi faced each other. "Let's do it," Zeke said as he panted. The two bit their thumbs and spread the blood across their palms in different patterns. After a set of seals, the duo slammed their hands on the ground. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)!" they yelled out. Ten bears appeared in front of Zeke as two dragons, one black and one red, appeared in front of Naruto. Whispers circulated at the sight of the two creatures. Zeke stared in shock.
"Yo Uzumaki-san, Ryu said you may summon us one day. Anyways, Dart at your service," the fiery red dragon introduced himself. "Micheal of the Shadow Dragons here," the pitch-black dragon said as well. "Nice to meet you both. Now, I don't want Zeke dead okay," Naruto said. The dragons nodded. "You're outnumbered, Naruto," Zeke said from behind his bears. Naruto looked at him. "You know how summoning is A Rank right?" Naruto asked. Zeke nodded. "My dragons are S Rank like the foxes and wolves," Naruto said. Zeke backed up a step.
Naruto sent Micheal down into a shadow as Dart released a wave of fire at the advancing bears. Dark spikes shot from the ground and pierced the bears. Soon, Naruto and his dragons faced Zeke. "I can't stop your dragons from reaching me quickly, but I can stop you. Koudo Meiro no Jutsu (Earthen Maze Technique)! Jidou Kansei no Jutsu (Automatic Traps Technique)! Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)!" Zeke yelled as he completed multiple seals. A closed-top earth maze appeared around Naruto, fully loaded with traps and bears. Naruto had Michael become a shadow in the maze.
Zeke was smiling awkwardly until he saw a flash of red go by. He flipped around and got hit into the air by Dart's tail. Zeke continued dodging the fiery dragon as Naruto moved through the maze and Micheal cut up more bears. Naruto was about halfway through the maze now, but he was covered in his own blood. "Screw this. Chiryuudan no Jutsu (Blood Dragon Blast Technique)!" Naruto yelled as he finished some seals with a weird seal. The blood on Naruto's body moved off him and formed into a dragon shape.
Zeke had just dodged an attack from Dart when a blood-red dragon shot out of his maze at him followed by Micheal and Naruto. Zeke punched at the blood dragon and was surprised when his hand went through it. "Like my Blood Dragon Technique? Physical attacks can't hurt it," Naruto said, lieing slightly, not telling about the slight weak spot. Zeke began sealing in response. "Ishi Ibara no Jutsu (Stone Thorn Technique)," Zeke said. A thorn pierced the blood dragon, while the two summons rose above them and Naruto jumped up and balanced on the tip with chakra.
Naruto looked at his formed blood dragon. "Lucky hit," Naruto said. The two charged at each other as the dragons circled overhead. Naruto slid under Zeke and kicked him upwards. Zeke fell towards Naruto sealing. "Monosugoi no Jutsu (Earth Shatter Technique)!" Zeke yelled as the ground shattered where Naruto used to be. "Kage Bunshin Bakudan no Jutsu (Bomb Shadow Replication Technique)!" came Naruto's shout from above Zeke. Zeke looked up and saw curled up Narutos dropping at him. The Narutos exploded as they neared Zeke.
Zeke was tossed across the arena from the explosions. When he caught his bearings, the arena was in shadows and Naruto stood across the arena. "Where are your dragons?" Zeke asked. Naruto grinned widely. "You're standing on them. So am I. Meet my Hokage Combo!" Naruto yelled as bursts of fire and dark spikes began shooting from the ground around Zeke. "Oh, shit," Zeke said as he charged at Naruto, dodging the attacks. The Hokage was chuckling at Naruto's attack. Fire shadow, indeed, he thought.
Zeke was just about to reach Naruto when a shadow wall blocked him. He looked all around him and saw he was in a box. Bursts of fire shot out of the sides, singing Zeke. When Micheal released his walls as Dart and he came out of the ground, Zeke could barely stand. The dragons suddenly transformed into different weapons. Micheal had become a fuuhma shuriken and Dart had become a gauntlet that could shoot fire on his right arm.
Zeke stood tall and downed two soldier pills. He quickly sealed a final technique. "Doton: Doryuudan no Jutsu (Earth Element: Earth Dragon Blast Technique)!" Zeke yelled as he turned part of his maze that still remained into a giant dragon. Naruto threw the fuuhma shuriken at the dragon and charged behind it. Micheal cut through the dragon and headed at Zeke. Naruto pummeled the rest of the dragon with his Dart gauntlet. Zeke dodged the fuuhma shuriken and was hit in the back of the head. Zeke passed out as Naruto dismissed Micheal and Dart.
Cheers and mass applause ran through the arena at the great fight. "Shousha, Uzumaki Naruto!" Genma yelled out. Medic-nins rushed Zeke off the arena as Naruto went to his team in the stands. The earth maze slowly crumbled into dust. Naruto got jumped by an overjoyed Hinata as he approached. "Good fight, Naruto-kun!" Hinata yelled into his ear over the roar of the crowd.
Naruto grinned as he kissed Hinata. "Thanks, Hinata-chan," Naruto said as they sat down. The crowd died down as Genma caught their attention. "The next match is between Hyuuga Hinata and Haku. Ladies, come on down!" Genma exclaimed. Hinata frowned as she went down to the arena. Haku walked into the arena through a mirror. "Hajime!" Genma yelled.
"Hyouketsu Butoukai no Jutsu (Freeze Ball Technique)," Haku said as she launched a ball of ice at Hinata. Hinata brought her master fan down towards the ball and blasted it back at Haku. Haku went to dodge, but was soon frozen in ice. Hinata swung her fan at Haku and said, "Nenshou Kaze no Jutsu (Burning Wind Technique)." The heated air melted Haku. "Whoops, forgot you were a powerful wind user," Haku said while scratching the back of her head. Haku then began sealing. She slammed her hands on the ground.
"Hijutsu: Aisu Tamadare no Jutsu (Special Technique: Ice Palace Technique)!" Haku yelled. Naruto scowled. Damn bloodlines, he thought. Ice mirrors began appearing everywhere, making winding hallways and a giant palace made of ice mirrors. Haku walked into one of the mirrors. Hinata warily walked into the palace. The corridor Hinata was in appeared to be a dead end. She looked back and saw the entrance was blocked. She turned forward again and saw Haku looking at her through a mirror. "Welcome to my palace of death," Haku said. The mirror melted revealing the rest of the palace.
Hinata ran through the place wondering how to get out. Haku would occasionally launch a wave or two of senbon at her. She suddenly stopped in a large room when all exits were cut off by mirrors. "Let's end it here," Haku said as her image appeared everywhere. Hinata suddenly began a frantic dance with her fan as hundreds of senbon flew at her. "Easekisho no Jutsu (Air Barrier Technique)!" she yelled out. A dome of air around Hinata solidified. She began talking to Mekei as she sat in her barrier.
Mekei-chan, how do I get out of this damn palace? I'll need some serious firepower, Hinata asked her demon. Summon Kyuubi from out of Naruto. Kyuubi is the top fox summon, Mekei said. Hinata blinked. Thanks, Mekei-chan, Hinata said. Hinata stood up, watching the ceaseless barrage of senbon. With a quick bite of her thumb, Hinata began the summoning process. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu-Kyuubi (Summoning Technique-Kyuubi)!" Hinata yelled.
The crowd was wondering what was going on since they couldn't see in the palace. Naruto sat patiently waiting. Suddenly, he felt weaker as Kyuubi left with a Woah! The color drained out of his face as he ran towards the Hokage. A giant burst of fire shot from the palace and everyone watched the Kyuubi step out, cackling, with Hinata atop his head. Screams rang through the arena at the sight of the greatest threat to Konoha ever.
Naruto continued to the Hokage as the Kyuubi and Haku battled it out, with Kyuubi laughing his head off. Haku was launching freeze balls at Kyuubi, freezing multiple parts of his body. When Naruto reached the Hokage's area, Tsunade and Jiraiya grabbed him. "Naruto, why is the Kyuubi there and not in you?" the Hokage asked. "Well, it kind of looks like Hinata summoned him for his fire," Naruto said nervously. The Hokage and two sannin stared at Naruto warily. "We shall see," the Hokage said.
Hinata had to keep using her burning wind to unfreeze the Kyuubi as they assaulted Haku. Suddenly, the Kyuubi stopped. Naruto is not faring well. I helped you, and you can finish it. Good-bye, Kyuubi said as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Naruto's stomach glowed briefly as the Kyuubi returned. Naruto's three guards released him as they saw it was safe.
"Suraisu Kaze no Jutsu (Slicing Wind Technique)!" Hinata yelled as she descended. Haku received several cuts as she finished her technique. "Hijutsu: Denkiteki Aisu Katana no Jutsu (Special Technique: Legendary Ice Blade Technique)," Haku said as her cold blade grew on her arm. Hinata placed her fan back on her back as Haku charged. Hinata focused chakra to her eyes and activated her bloodline. She concentrated chakra around her arms, hands, legs, and feet as she dodged Haku's slash. She ducked under a horizontal slash and brought her fist up in an uppercut.
The crowd watched as Haku flew high into the air. Haku watched as Hinata jumped very fast up past her. Hinata kicked Haku in the back, causing her to speed into the ground. Haku shot an ice ball at the descending Hinata and missed. Hinata pulled four kunai out as she continued to descend and focused chakra into them. "Kunai Shakkishakki Doumeihigyou no Jutsu (Knife Precise Strikes Technique)!" Hinata yelled. Flashes of light shot out and when Hinata landed, the kunai were one each in each main joint on Haku. Shoulders and knees flared in pain for Haku as she saw the kunai.
Hinata picked Haku up and quickly head-butted her. Haku dropped to the ground unconscious. "Shousha, Hyuuga Hinata," Genma said as the crowd erupted in cheers. Naruto ran off as Hinata went back into the stands. Naruto embraced Hinata briefly as they sat down, worn out. "Hyuuga Hanabi versus Zaku," Genma said. Hanabi activated her bloodline as she walked down.
"Hajime," Genma called. So I get to take the last of you down as well. Prepare to die, Zaku, Hanabi said as she spread blood across her palms. She sealed befored slamming her hands down. "Kaedama Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Double Summoning Technique)!" she yelled. Twenty foxes and wolves appeared around the arena. Zaku charged at Hanabi as the summons jumped him. Hanabi began sealing again.
"Koudo Meiro no Jutsu (Earthen Maze Technique)!" Hanabi yelled, hoping it would work right. A full maze rose up around Zaku and her summons. Naruto watched her in amusement. She sighed when she realized she didn't know the automatic traps technique. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)," Hanabi said as she summoned ten bears into the maze. The animals stalked Zaku as he ran through the maze. I don't want to die by these jutsus like Dosu, Zaku thought worriedly.
Hanabi stood around bored as she waited for Zaku to die. Suddenly, a large gust of wind blasted through a good portion of the maze and hit Hanabi. Hanabi flew through the air and saw Zaku running at her. She collapsed her maze, allowing her summons to help her as she was knocked into the wall. Hanabi stood up and charged at Zaku. They began swapping blows as Hanabi's summons watched her.
Hanabi used her Jyuuken stance as Zaku just punched and kicked. She was slowly closing his tenketsus. Zaku suddenly put his hands right under Hanabi's chest and said, "Kyuukyoku Zankuuha." The blast threw Hanabi into the stands as she had her summons attack Zaku. Hanabi ran back into the arena and had her summons drop back again. Hanabi suddenly pulled out two fuuhma shuriken and opened them. She threw them with incredible speed at Zaku.
Zaku tried to dodge the shuriken, but one of them sliced off his left arm. He howled in pain and watched as Hanabi caught her two weapons. She then threw one of them and cut his head off. "Shousha, Hyuuga Hanabi," Genma said. Kin shook in the stands. I'm the only one on my team who survived. Orochimaru-sama will kill me for sure, Kin thought. Hanabi walked into the stands with the satisfaction of knowing she had defeated two of the three sound-nin and even killed one of them.
Hanabi took her seat next to Naruto to await the next match. "Hey Naruto, why did you go to the Hokage right before Hinata broke free from the ice palace?" Hanabi asked. "I had to assure them the Kyuubi wasn't free," Naruto said. Hanabi nodded as Genma announced the next fighters. "Aburame Shino versus Temari. Fighters to the arena," Genma said. The two combatants slowly walked into the arena. Shino stood coolly across from the impatient Temari as she fidgeted with her fan.
"Hajime!" Genma yelled. Shino stood there as Temari whipped her fan off her back and released a small gust of wind. Shino still didn't move as the wind ruffled his clothes. This kid is weird, Temari thought. Suddenly, Shino lifted his arms up and waves of bugs flew out. Temari shivered at the sight of so many bugs and swung her fan at them. "Suraisu Kaze no Jutsu (Slicing Wind Technique)," Temari said as the wind began slicing the bugs.
Suddenly, Temari threw her fan at Shino and watched it rotate with its sharp edges. The spinning fan hit Shino and went through as he turned into a swarm of bugs. Some bugs attached to the fan as it flew back to Temari. Shino appeared behind Temari as she caught her fan. He surrounded his fist with bugs and punched her. She went flying through the air as bugs attached to her.
Slowly, the small numbers of bugs on Temari were feeding on her chakra. She stood up, determined to beat this bug freak. She raised her fan, preparing a technique she saw Hinata use. "Tatsumaki no Jutsu (Tornado Technique)!" Temari yelled as a cyclone burst forth from her rapidly moving fan. The cyclone tore through the bugs around the arena and headed towards Shino. He watched as the cyclone neared him.
He began to evade the cyclone, but Temari didn't make it so easy. She whipped him into the air and launched another slicing wind at him. The funnel consumed Shino and when it left, Shino lay on the ground unconscious. "Shousha, Temari," Genma said. Shino was carted off the field as Temari went into the stands. "The next match will be the last match in the first round," Genma said.
Sasuke nervously played with a kunai. He knew he could now use jutsus, but he had to fight someone who almost killed Lee. "Sasuke-kun, you can do it!" Saukra yelled to him. Sasuke looked at her with a worried expression. "Uchiha Sasuke versus Gaara of the Sand! Fighters, come forth!" Genma yelled. Sasuke jumped down as Gaara appeared in the arena. Sasuke briefly looked over Gaara and noticed the kanji on his forehead.
"Why do you have the kanji of love on your forehead?" Sasuke asked. Gaara stared at Sasuke levelly. "It symbolizes my love of death and of me only," Gaara said. Sasuke slid into a stance as Gaara stood there. Genma looked the two unique fighters over. "Hajime," he said.
