Author's Notes: Thank you all who reviewed. Anyways, thanks to a no school day, I'm able to get this chapter out only two days after the last one, yay! I would have put it out yesterday, but I couldn't get onto internet when I finished writing it. As far as I know, I have now written one-third to one-half of my story. I know, it's a short story, but you never know, I may end up with more. Anyways, I didn't receive any questions, so no answers today.
Chapter Eight: Fights of Destiny! Arise Bouenkyou!
Sasuke charged at Gaara who merely created his sand armor. Sasuke punched at Gaara, but he collided into the sand armor. He bounced back while sealing. "Katon: Gokukyaku no Jutsu (Fire Element: Grand Fireball Technique)," Sasuke said. Gaara dodged the fireball and began sealing. "Sunaarashi no Jutsu (Sandstorm Technique)," Gaara said passively. Rough sands flew through the air in the large arena. Sasuke closed his eyes and when he opened them, his two-marked sharingans blazed in his eyes.
Waves of sand suddenly rose all around Sasuke. He quickly buried himself as the sand crashed down. Gaara stood atop the sand frowning. He didn't expect his opponent to go down so easily. Suddenly, the sound of chirping came from nearby. Sasuke burst from the sand with the Raikiri crackling in his hand. Sasuke ran at Gaara, avoiding pillars of sand that popped up. A giant wave of sand appeared in front of Sasuke.
Sasuke put the Raikiri in front of him and pushed through the wave. When Sasuke came out the other side, he was knocked backwards. Gaara silently stood over him with a spear of hardened sand. Sasuke thrust the Raikiri up and watched as Gaara turned into sand around his arm. Sand Clone Technique? Sasuke thought. Suddenly, a cage of sand appeared around Sasuke. Gaara stood nearby with his spear, which quickly turned into a scythe. "Good-bye Sasuke," Gaara said.
Gaara swung his scythe at Sasuke, who dodged it and broke it with his Raikiri. He then plowed his way out of his prison. This guy is too strong, I have to use, Sasuke thought. The crowd watched as dark purple symbols appeared all over Sasuke. The Raikiri in his hand turned the same dark purple. Gaara calmly regarded Sasuke. "If I went full power, you would die in a matter of seconds," Gaara said. Sasuke screamed and charged Gaara.
Multiple people watched Sasuke worriedly. He activated his cursed seal, they thought. Gaara had created multiple sand clones to combat Sasuke. Sasuke mowed the clones down like weeds. Sasuke sported several cuts that were deep, but he continued on. When he finally reached Gaara, he was impaled and tossed backwards. "Sabaku Reikyuu no Jutsu (Desert Coffin Technique)," Gaara said as sand began to cover Sasuke. With a flare of chakra, Sasuke burst out. He went to move towards Gaara, when suddenly his Raikiri went out, the cursed seal receded, and he fell to his knees.
"Looks like Sasuke has run out of energy," Gaara said while sneering. "Shousha, Gaara of the Sand," Genma said. Gaara glared at Genma and began creating javelins of sand. Sasuke closed his eyes as he awaited death. It looks like I won't get to kill you brother, Sasuke thought. The javelins flew. "No!" Naruto yelled. Blood sprayed as the javelins ran into someone. Sasuke opened his eyes to see Naruto crouching with his eyes closed and the four javelins in him. He slowly opened his eyes and Sasuke gasped. Naruto's eyes had four marks in them, reminding Sasuke of the Mangekyou.
Kit, I give a gift to you. You have saved one of your most precious people, so I shall improve your Sharikugan. Arise Bouenkyou Sharikugan! The Kyuubi roared. Naruto in the real world pulled the javelins out and looked at Genma. "Examiner, I would like to fight this monster now," Naruto growled. Genma looked at the Hokage, who nodded. "Okay, Uzumaki Naruto versus Gaara of the Sand. Hajime!" Genma announced.
Sasuke quickly moved off the field as Naruto dove at Gaara. Gaara dodged as Naruto raced past. Naruto began sealing as Gaara turned towards him. "Naraku Katon: Houou Heki Hinote no Jutsu (Hellfire Element: Pheonix Burst Fire Technique)!" Naruto yelled as a dark purple bird burst forth from Naruto. The crowd stared in awe as the flaming purple bird shot purple fireballs at Gaara. Everytime the fire hit the sand; an area of glass would form. The bird suddenly dove at Gaara and hit his strong sand armor.
The armor turned to glass as the phoenix was reincarnated. Gaara quickly had a wave of sand smother the bird before it could get too far up. Naruto pressed his hand into one of his wounds and brought it out before sealing. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)!" Naruto yelled. Four dragons appeared around the arena. Dart and Micheal had returned and now a blood dragon and a sand dragon were with them. "Yo Naruto," Dart said. Micheal nodded. "I am Suna," the sand dragon said. "Rose," the blood dragon said simply.
"Attack him!" Naruto ordered as he pointed at Gaara. Suna absorbed into the sand on the ground as Micheal went into the shadows. Rose hung back as Dart charged. Naruto looked questionably at Rose. "I'm more of a defensive type," Rose said. Naruto nodded. Dart charged a fireball and launched it at Gaara. A barrier of sand blocked the fireball and Suna shot out of the barrier at Gaara before it turned into glass. Gaara dodged the dragon, but the dragon absorbed back into the safety of the sand.
Naruto and Rose watched the dragons fight Gaara. Rose suddenly looked at Naruto. "Activate the power from within. Activate the power that is given with the summoning contract. Become the dragoon," Rose said. Naruto stared blankly at the blood dragon. Suddenly, he pulled a power from within him. A bright purple glow surrounded Naruto. The crowd, Gaara, and the dragons stared at Naruto. Blue-purple scales rolled across Naruto's body creating armor. Wings sprouted from Naruto's back and turned a bright blue-purple as well. Rose turned into a blade and attached to Naruto's arm.
The other summoned dragons suddenly flew at the hovering Naruto and Micheal and Suna were absorbed into Naruto. Dart turned back into a flaming gauntlet and went on Naruto's unarmed hand. Everyone stared slack-jawed as Naruto shot forward at impossible, yet still visible by high-powered sharingan or Mangekyou, and struck Gaara. Gaara flew through the air and struck the wall. A blast of sand shot from where Gaara was at Naruto. Naruto flew into the sand amid gasps from the crowd.
Gaara stood on top of the sand yet again frowning. He knew Naruto wouldn't go down this easy, but where was he. Suddenly, some sand in front of Gaara began shaping itself. Within a few seconds, the sand had taken the shape of Naruto. Naruto stuck his blade in the ground and thrust his hand at Gaara. A huge blast of lightning shot out and fried Gaara. Gaara fell to the ground quivering.
The crowd watched as Naruto jumped into the air and his dragons reappeared around him. Naruto began sealing as the dragons turned into energy around him. "Chikara Suimin no Jutsu (Forced Sleep Technique)!" came Gaara's voice suddenly. Gaara slumped forward, asleep. Suddenly, sand rolled all around Gaara, creating a thirty-foot form of a raccoon. Freedom! The sand demon bellowed. The Hokage took on a look of surprise as Naruto cursed and sealed faster than ever. "Kyuukyoku Ayumikata: Doragon Oiuchi no Jutsu (Ultimate Move: Dragon Finality Technique)!" Naruto yelled as the dragons, in energy form, sped towards the new Gaara and collided, resulting in an explosion that rocked the arena.
Suddenly, explosions rocked Konoha as Sand and Sound shinobi invaded. Battles instantly raged as Leaf shinobi counter-attacked. Hinata and Hanabi jumped into the ring near Naruto's hovering form as the demon-controlled Gaara rose. "Help defend Konoha, I can handle Gaara by myself!" Naruto yelled to them. "But…" Hinata began. "No buts! Go!" Naruto yelled as he dove at Gaara. Hinata and Hanabi ran off worriedly. Gaara caught Naruto and threw him against the wall. You can't stop Shukaku, fool! The demonic vessel raged. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the monstrosity.
Hinata and Hanabi had caught up with the rest of the rookies and Gai's team and were battling against the enemy forces. Their summoned wolves, toads, and bears were cutting the enemies down as they searched for the Hokage. They found him, just as Orochimaru set a barrier up around the Sandaime and himself. The genin decided to stop interference from others as they couldn't open the barrier. They watched the two figures inside as well. Kakashi, Gai, and some other jounin came by too. They decided to help the genin. Tsunade and Jiraiya appeared as a giant three-headed snake closed in. "Damn you, Orochimaru," Jiraiya whispered. All fighters present dropped into stance.
"You will die today, Sarutobi-sensei," Orochimaru said to the Hokage. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)," the snake sannin said. Three coffins appeared from the ground and the Sandaime gasped. "That summoning is forbidden!" the Hokage yelled as the first coffin opened. The first Hokage climbed from the coffin. The second coffin opened, revealing the Nidaime, or second Hokage. The Sandaime, realizing what was in the third coffin, quickly destroyed the last coffin. "Guess you don't want to see my old rival, do you?" Orochimaru asked. "Oh well, let's go!" Orochimaru yelled.
Naruto was getting the shit kicked out of him. Shukaku wasn't even at full power, and Naruto's dragoon strength couldn't match him. "Seiteki Heki no Jutsu (Static Burst Technique)!" Naruto yelled as another large blast of electricity shot at Shukaku. Shukaku's sand quickly rose and blocked the shot. Weak little human, Shukaku snickered. Naruto gritted his teeth and began a long series of seals. "Raiu no Jutsu (Thunderstorm Technique)!" Naruto yelled as the skies darkened and most of the arena began raining. Suddenly, with a quick wave of chakra from Naruto, Shukaku and several empty spots were struck by lightning. Shukaku suddenly grew twenty feet taller. Full power! Shukaku cackled. Naruto cursed.
All the genin watched the snake as it approached. Hinata suddenly recalled something Mekei had taught her. "Guys, guard me!" Hinata yelled. The genin quickly dropped into stance around her as she began drawing on the ground. Kakashi, Tsunade, and Jiraiya came and watched her work curiously. The other jounin quickly guarded as well. Suddenly, the kanji on the ground rose and shrunk onto the back of Hinata's right hand. She ran forward and the others followed. They dodged as the snake and the shinobi around it attacked them.
Hinata jumped up at the snake with her right hand glowing with chakra. All shinobi watched as Hinata hit the snake with her palm and light burst forth. "Shimanagashi Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Banish Summoning Technique)!" Hinata yelled as the snake disappeared in a puff of smoke. The Sand and Sound forces became enraged at the loss of their summon. Hinata landed and the fights resumed. Jiraiya and Tsunade summoned Gamabunta, the boss toad, and Katsuya, the boss slug, to fight the enemy forces from the ground.
The Hokage dodged another slicing line of water from the dead Nidaime. He struck out at the First with his diamond-edge staff form of Enma, the boss of the ape summons. He cut the First's arm off, which quickly regenerated. "Having trouble, old man?" Orochimaru asked from his perch near the fighting. He had dropped his shield when he sensed the Konoha shinobi leave. "Be quiet, Orochimaru," the Sandaime got out as he dodged another slicing water line. Suddenly, a blur shot at the watery Nidaime and struck it with a glowing palm. "Shimanagashi Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Banish Summoning Technique)!" came the voice from the female attached to the hand.
The Sandaime Hokage and Orochimaru watched as the girl jumped and flipped through the air and did the same to the First Hokage. Orochimaru's summons disappeared in puffs of smoke. "Thanks, Hinata," the Hokage said. Hinata stood near him with her left hand glowing and another seal on the back of that hand. "Foolish child. You think that stops me?" Orochimaru said as he created a grass-cutter blade. Orochimaru rushed at Hinata as her left hand shot forwards. A blast of light shot from her hand and nailed Orochimaru. The snake sannin flew backwards from the force of the energy Hinata withdrew her hand and stared at the cut on the back.
Shukaku was kicking Naruto's dragoon ass. After the fully-powered Shukaku seemed immune to lightning, Naruto had dropped his thunderstorm. From there, Naruto had gotten thrown around and was now lying on the ground, slowing losing his dragoon state. I told you that you were too weak, mortal, Shukaku said as Naruto became normal in appearance again. You shall die now, Shukaku said as he approached the small, bloody boy. "I will not die! I will become Hokage and have everyone acknowledge me!" Naruto yelled out as waves of red chakra poured from him. Shukaku took a step back. K-Kyuubi! Shukaku stuttered out.
Naruto's appearance took on a full change. His eyes became gold and his hair turned red-orange. His claws grew and chakra covered his body as his whisker marks elongated and deepened. His six fox tails burst out and, with the sound of a bolt being drawn back, a seventh fox tail appeared with the others. A faint glimmer in his eyes showed that the Bouenkyou was still there. He stretched his hands out. "Akuma: Rensa Rasengan (Demon: Chained Spiral Blast)," Naruto growled out as swirling balls of chakra appeared in each hand.
Shukaku prepared sand for a defense as Naruto jumped into the air. Naruto tossed his left Rasengan out as a chain of chakra connected it to his hand. The ball crashed against the shield that Shukaku had created. Shukaku dropped his shield and was nailed by the other Rasengan. Naruto dispelled his remaining Rasengan as he hit the ground. Shukaku blinked as Naruto disappeared. Naruto grabbed onto Shukaku as he stopped and yelled, "Akuma Naraku Katon: Inferuno no Jutsu (Demon Hellfire Element: Inferno Technique)!"
Sand, Sound, and Leaf shinobi alike, stopped when they sensed and saw a giant pillar of flame in the stadium where Naruto and Gaara where fighting. What really caught their attention was the fact that the fire was even darker a black than the Mangekyou's Amaterasu. Waves of heat shot from the pillar, super-heating a bunch of shinobi. A good amount of the enemy forces turned and ran away from Konoha at the power of Kyuubi, not wanting to face that power.
Hinata stared at her cut seal, oblivious to the explosion of energy that was Naruto's fire jutsu. She charged at Orochimaru in blind fury. Orochimaru quickly knocked her backwards. The Sandaime caught and set her down. "Get out of here. I'll finish him," he said. Hinata nodded and ran to her friends. "Let's end this," the Sandaime said as he began sealing. "You can't kill me!" Orochimaru yelled. The Sandaime smiled as he finished sealing. He slumped over dead as a light struck Orochimaru's arm.
Orochimaru yelled as he lost use of his arms and hands. He cursed when all the shinobi that were outside their battle area charged in. "Hokage-sama!" they yelled in unison. Jiraiya and Tsunade turned towards Orochimaru with fury etched on their faces. Orochimaru smirked and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Jiraiya and Tsunade scowled but looked back at their companions. "Orochimaru has fled without the use of his arms and we must clear the remaining enemies out since we're pretty sure Naruto's little fire trick scared a bunch of them off. All genin go check on Naruto. Everyone else, get rid of remaining enemies," Tsunade ordered. The shinobi bound off in different directions. "Let's get him out of here," Jiraiya said to the now crying Tsunade. She nodded and they moved the Hokage to his office.
Naruto, returned to normal appearance, stood swaying over a barely living and severely burnt Gaara. All of the rookies of that year and Gai's team appeared around them. "Dobe, did you kill him?" Sasuke asked him eagerly. Suddenly, Genma came running by, followed by Temari and Kankuro. "Shousha, Uzumaki Naruto!" he yelled out. "How could you beat me?" came Gaara's weak voice. Naruto looked calmly at him. "I have friends I fight to protect. I'd die before I let them die. They are my precious people. They give me the strength to win," Naruto said. "Friends? Love? Does it really matter?" Gaara asked. Naruto nodded solemnly. Gaara passed into unconsciousness with one thought in mind. Naruto, I will make friends and gain precious people. Then I'll be able to beat you.
Naruto was forced to go to the hospital with Gaara as both were severely injured. Temari and Kankuro stayed by Gaara's side and Naruto was forced alone. Hinata and Hanabi came to visit him the next day and tell him all enemy forces, except Gaara's team because he was still in exam, were gone. They helped him get out of bed, almost fully healed, to go to the memorial service for the Hokage. Tsunade was there and told them she had been instated as the next Hokage. Naruto stood near the grave and went off on a long tirade to the Hokage. When they were done, they walked towards home. Genma interrupted their journey. "The last three matches of the exam will be held in one week," Genma said. They nodded and went home.
Naruto slept all through the night and was awoken by a very provocatively placed Hinata. He blushed deeply and slid very slowly out of that area. It wasn't long before they were all awake. They went to training and about halfway through the day, Hanabi began complaining loudly. "This sucks! You guys have demons to make you more powerful! Naruto also has that dragoon thing! I hate being the weak link on the team!" Hanabi yelled out. Naruto slammed her into the ground and went to a tree with Hinata. "Do you think we should make her more powerful?" Naruto whispered to her. "Sure. Want to make the prototype runes on her?" Hinata whispered back. Naruto nodded and they went to her.
They went over to Hanabi and Naruto paralyzed her. "What are you doing?" Hanabi asked. "Shut up if you want more power," Naruto growled. Hanabi quickly shut up. Naruto and Hinata cut themselves and began drawing a symbol in blood on the back of the hand they occupied. Naruto put on the back of Hanabi's left hand a flame surrounded by lightning and Hinata put on Hanabi's right a water drop with wind waves. "I got destructive," Naruto said. "I got medical and defensive," Hinata said. Red chakra burst from Naruto onto his symbol as white chakra moved from Hinata to her symbol gently. When they were done, Hanabi's left hand was surrounded by fire and lightning and her right was glowing.
Naruto unparalyzed Hanabi and all three of them stood up as Hanabi's hands stopped glowing. "We're going to have to recharge these every now and then," Hinata said as she tossed her sister some fingerless gloves. Hanabi nodded and slipped them on. "How do I use these?" Hanabi asked. "You think about the ability you want to use," Naruto said. "What abilities do I have?" Hanabi inquired. They quickly told her. "Go ahead, try it," Naruto said. Hanabi put her left hand above her head and concentrated. The symbol on her left hand glowed above it and a blinding light shot out. When it receded, the trees for about five hundred feet on each side of them had been vaporized.
Naruto sighed and grabbed Hanabi's left hand as Hinata gaped. With a quick burst of chakra, Naruto had recharged her destructive rune. "You used seventy percent of your rune power in that one ability. I recharged your rune. Be more careful of how you use your power," Naruto said. Hanabi nodded and Hinata stared at him. "Dang, I don't want to know what all the power can do," Hinata said in awe. Naruto scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Hinata sighed. "Let's go. We have four days till our final fights. Since we're three of the final four, we'll have to fight each other," Hanabi said. They all frowned. "We will give it our best," Hinata said. They all agreed.
Before long, the final fights came. Team six stood in the arena with Temari facing Tsunade, the recently appointed Godaime Hokage. "Welcome to the final part of the Chuunin Exam! You four have made it far and now we shall end this tournament. Genma!" Tsunade yelled. Genma stepped up as Tsunade went into the stands with the others. "Okay! First match is between Hyuuga Hanabi and Uzumaki Naruto! Hajime!" Genma yelled. Hinata and Temari charged into the stands as Naruto turned and a wind wave blasted Hanabi backwards. Genma jumped backwards as Naruto activated his Bouenkyou Sharikugan and Hanabi activated her byakugan.
Naruto charged at Hanabi and kicked her into the air. He quickly sealed and said, "Chakra Soutei no Jutsu (Chakra Binding Technique)." Hanabi flipped around in the air as a strand of Naruto's chakra grabbed onto her. She watched as he grew wings and launched into the air. He dragged her higher into the air and began swinging her. He released the chakra around Hanabi and she shot towards the ground. "Suraisu Kaze no Jutsu (Slicing Wind Technique)!" Naruto yelled as he moved his wings, creating a huge gust. A quick flash of light appeared on Hanabi's right side before the slicing wind nailed Hanabi as she hit the ground.
Hinata sat clutching her seat, waiting for the dust to clear where her sister landed. She glanced up at her boyfriend who was hovering nervously. You better not have killed her, Naruto-kun, Hinata thought nervously. The crowd watched nervously as the smoke cleared, revealing a glowing white shield around Hanabi and a water drop above wind symbols floated above her right hand. Naruto smiled ecstatically as the crowd sighed. "Good thinking, Hanabi-chan!" Naruto exclaimed. Hanabi smiled as she dropped her shield.
Hanabi suddenly shot her left hand up and the electric fire symbol hovered above her hand. Shit! Naruto thought as he fully turned into the dragoon. A shot of fire burst from Hanabi as Naruto shot his right hand forward. "Seiteki Heki no Jutsu (Static Burst Technique)!" Naruto yelled. His electric blast shot out and collided with the fire. As the blasts battled for control, Naruto began drawing a design in the air. The crowd watched as Naruto's eyes slightly glowed as he drew the symbol in fire. Suddenly, Naruto shot his free hand through the middle of it and the symbol shot to the ground under Hanabi.
Hanabi saw the symbol under her as chains shot out of it and latched onto her. Her fire instantly died away as the chain's magic blocked the rune's power. Naruto floated to the ground and resumed normal appearance. "There, you can't move. I also made the chains so they stopped the runes," Naruto said to the struggling Hanabi, who was struggling to hide her one-handed seals. "Deido Suraido no Jutsu (Mudslide Technique)!" Hanabi yelled as she finished sealing. Naruto cursed as the waves of mud hit him.
"Doro Doru no Jutsu (Mud Doll Technique)!" Hanabi yelled, still chained to the ground. Twenty humanoid figures appeared from the mud around Naruto. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)," came Naruto's muffled voice from under the mud. The crowd watched as a circle of mud began to bubble and glow red. A jet of fire shot out as Dart made his appearance. Dart quickly freed Naruto and turned into a gauntlet again. Naruto started the gauntlet on fire and looked at the dolls. "Let's go," Naruto said.
Naruto jumped at the nearest doll and nailed it with his gauntlet. He punched threw it and it hardened from the heat. "Konoha Senpuu (Leaf Spinning Wind)!" Naruto yelled and demolished the doll. The same process continued for the next nineteen dolls. Naruto stepped up to Hanabi and said, "Good night." With that, he knocked Hanabi out. He released Hanabi and carried her back into the stands. "Shousha, Uzumaki Naruto!" Genma yelled. Shit, he only has to beat the winner of the next match and he won the tournament, Tsunade thought.
"Next match, Hyuuga Hinata versus Temari," Genma said from the arena. Hinata left as Naruto returned with Hanabi. The wind users held their fans nervously awaiting the mark. "Hajime!" Genma yelled. Bursts of wind shot out as fans opened. "This will be an interesting battle, Temari-san," Hinata said. "Indeed," Temari remarked, "To the better wind user!" Hinata nodded and they raised their fans.
"Suraisu Kaze no Jutsu (Slicing Wind Technique)!" they yelled out. The wind attacks connected and canceled. The girls charged forward and connected closed fans. Chakra surrounded Hinata's foot as she kicked Temari into the air. She slid her second fan out of the first and swung them at Temari. "Suraisu Kaze no Jutsu (Slicing Wind Technique)!" Hinata yelled. Cuts appeared all across Temari as she descended. Temari landed and shot a burst of wind at Hinata.
The combatants flew around the arena, occasionally launching bursts of wind at each other. How can I finish this? Hinata thought. She released another slicing wind at Temari. Oh, there is that, Hinata thought.
Flashback
Hinata walked into the weapons store. "Hey, Hinata-san. What are you doing here?" Tenten asked from the counter. "Hello, Tenten-san. I'm looking for those scrolls like you use," Hinata said. Tenten smiled and pulled a box out. "So, I hear you're fighting Temari in the semi-finals," Tenten said as Hinata looked through the various types of scrolls. "Yes, I am," Hinata said as she selected two scrolls. "How much for these?" Hinata said. "Free, if you use them to defeat Temari," Tenten said with a wink. "You got it!" Hinata exclaimed.
End Flashback
A blast of wind hit Hinata. "Wake up, kid!" Temari yelled. Hinata smiled. "It's over," Hinata announced. Hinata blasted Temari into the air and threw her sharp-edged fans at her, spinning them. She also released three shuriken from each hand at Temari. She released a clasp on her jacket and the scrolls tumbled out. She opened them and tossed them into the air as her fans began to return.
Waves of kunai and shuriken shot from the scrolls as Hinata caught her fans. "Ea Ba-suto no Jutsu (Air Burst Technique)!" Hinata yelled as she shot wind out to speed the weapons on. "Finally! Fuuryuudan no Jutsu (Wind Dragon Blast Technique)!" Hinata yelled as a dragon made of wind appeared in front of her and charged at Temari. All weapons that hit the dragon shot through even faster. Temari was slowly gaining more and more weapons in her. The dragon hit her and all went black for her. "Rezaarashi Rendan (Razor Storm Combo)!" Hinata yelled as the dragon hit Temari.
The weapon barrage stopped and the barely living Temari floated to the ground, blood running down her in rivers. Medic-nins rushed onto the field and removed the girl. "Shousha, Hyuuga Hinata!" Genma yelled. Hinata reconnected her fans and closed it. She replaced her fan upon her back as Naruto stepped down and tossed her a few soldier pills. She gratefully ate the pills. "Final match, Uzumaki Naruto versus Hyuuga Hinata! Hajime!" Genma announced.
The two companions thrust their hands forward, one over the other, simultaneously. A red symbol appeared around Naruto's hands as a white symbol appeared around Hinata's. They drew energy out of the symbols and performed strange arm movements. They shot their arms straight out to their sides and exclaimed, "Tenma Henge: Onimusha (Demonic Transformation: Demon Warrior)!" Red light spread down Naruto's arms and shot from his symbol onto him as white did the same to Hinata.
When the light faded around Naruto, he had red plate armor on his torso and the outside of his legs and arms. The Kyuubi's symbol adorned his chest and a fiery red sword was held in his left hand. His hair was also its red-orange color. Hinata had gained a white plated armor top without going onto her arms and plated white outer leg armor. Mekei's symbol adorned her two lower arm guards. A slim white blade was held loosely in her left hand. Her hair had taken a white color with streaks of her bluish hair.
"Wow, this ability is actually nice," Naruto said, checking himself and Hinata over. The crowd stared in shock, especially because Naruto was glowing red and Hinata was glowing white. Damn, the demons taught them good. They'll be some of our strongest forces, Tsunade thought. "Let's do it, Naruto-kun," Hinata said. The two shot forward at incredible speeds and their blades clashed six times before they were moving slow enough to be seen. Holy shit, Sasuke thought as he tried to keep up with them and copy more abilities, though if he couldn't keep up with their speed, he couldn't copy their sealing. The two fighters jumped backwards.
Hinata disappeared and reappeared coming down towards Naruto. Naruto blocked the blow and they disappeared from view, only occasionally making flashes as their blades clashed. When they finally slid into view, Naruto had a few cuts and Hinata was pretty bloody. "Heh, Mekei-chan was right. Kyuubi is many times stronger than her," Hinata said. Naruto smiled softly and dropped into a defensive stance.
Hinata nodded. "Examiner, I surrender. There is no way for me to beat Naruto," Hinata said. Genma nodded. "Shousha, Uzumaki Naruto!" Genma yelled. The crowd erupted in cheers as the two returned to normal. Tsunade jumped into the arena. "All genin who participated in the main matches, come to the arena," Tsunade said. Hinata went and woke Hanabi up and they returned as everyone else did.
Tsunade removed the necklace from around her neck and approached Naruto. She placed the necklace around his neck. "I now acknowledge your strength Naruto and I hope you accept my apologies for doubting you," Tsunade said. "Thanks, obaachan!" Naruto said. Tsunade smiled kindly before stepping back. Whispers circulated around the arena. "For those of you who are wondering, that was a personal matter," Tsunade said. Everyone immediately shut up.
"Okay. Whoever I name off, step forward, okay?" Tsunade asked. The genin nodded. "Gaara of the Sand. Haku. Hyuuga Hanabi. Zeke. Hyuuga Hinata. Uzumaki Naruto," Tsunade said. The six genin stepped forward. "All of you but Naruto has been promoted to chuunin rank," Tsunade said. "What about Naruto?" Hinata asked. "Uzumaki Naruto, for incredible feats and show of power as well as stopping Gaara here, who was a serious threat to Konoha, you have been promoted to the rank of jounin!" Tsunade announced.
Gasps circulated at the idea of a genin to jounin promotion. All of Naruto's friends gaped at him. Naruto himself stood slack-jawed. "Follow me newly promoted individuals," Tsunade said as the others went back into the stands. The rest followed Tsunade into a special area. She tossed all but Naruto a chuunin vest. Naruto caught his jounin vest as it flew at him. "Congratulations all! Okay, you're all dismissed," Tsunade said. They all left, ready for the next adventure.
Author's Note: Well, chapter eight is finally finished. This chapter isn't as long as I thought it would be, but hell, it's still done. It may take me awhile to put chapter nine up since I now have no clue what I should write. Anyways, as always, please review.
