Chapter 34: Shikiyoku

Naruto and Zaiaku looked to the board, then to each other. This would be the first time they fought since the day they met. Naruto took a deep breath, if he wanted to prove his worth as a Chuunin he had to defeat Zaiaku...but he had something that could aid Itami better than any hospital. He really didn't want to lose but Itami's case was surly more serious then Obaa-chan made it seem, he wasn't that clueless.

Zaiaku's eyes narrowed, screw this entire competition. Screw everything about being a Chuunin, he could take the test again in a different village. He had better things to do with his time at the moment...

The crowd was on the edge of their seats, this was a well anticipated match. They witnessed the new Kyuubi child with their own eyes and the power he possessed. Then again they had watched the odd golden eyed ninja preform some truly impressive jutsu. From the peoples eyes this was going to be a match well worth watching.

The Judge raised his hand and the entire stadium ceased their chatter. It all came down to this. One the Judge's hand went down the match began. The Judge looked to Naruto who gave a curt nod which told the Judge he was ready. The Judge looked to the cold dark golden eyes of Zaiaku, the look on his face enough to tell the Judge he was more then ready.

Taishou stood in the control room along with the special Jounin Anko. "You sure all the cameras are ready?" Taishou asked which left Anko in a twitching rage. "Yeah...all THREE OF THEM!" Anko exploded which caused Taishou to jump back. He knew better then to push her to far but his mouth just wouldn't stop. "I thought you said I destroyed all the cameras with my snap," Taishou said immediately covering his mouth afterward. This slip of the tongue could very well get him killed in present company.

Anko silently seethed and said, "I always carry three back up camera that remain inactive and in shielded containers just in case. Now leave before I snap your neck, you might want to watch the next to matches." Taishou opened his mouth to say something but Anko interrupted and said, "in the STANDS Taishou." Taishou shut his mouth and shrugged, "ok, whatever Anko. See you later." With that Taishou disappeared in a snap of smoke while Anko held half her face in her hands. "The only good thing about him are the scars, they make him look hot," Anko said absolutely no remorse in her voice.

The Judge gulped audibly and dropped his hand...

"I QUIT!" came a simultaneous cry from both the ninja in the center ring. At this almost the entire stadium fell out of their seats. There goes the suspense at a powerful match. "KIT WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" roared a thoroughly pissed off demon king from the Kages box. However neither of the combatants in the ring took notice of those events.

"What!" the teammates yelled in unison. "I have to go check on Itami!" Zaiaku yelled his fist clenched. "I have something that might help her recover!" Naruto said neither of them realizing that both parties could EASILY resolve this by letting Zaiaku take whatever Naruto had to Itami. However as most teammate conflicts are neither of the participants are using their brains so it results in a huge shouting match. Apparently Zaiaku is more human then he lets on...

"Whatever, I quit first!" Zaiaku snarled halfway into the completely pointless lung test. "What! I so beat you to say it!" Naruto retorted which caused yet ANOTHER match of who quit when. This in itself was annoying but the insults that were occasionally thrown back and forth had Taishou writing in his little notebook every two seconds.

Anko sat in the control room of the entire stadium, if Taishou wasn't bad enough then these students of his were killing her. Anko swiftly shut off the sound systems and began to go back through the pointless conversation from the two boys that had already eaten up a good 15 minutes of time. Maybe she could figure out who had said what first and shut both of them up once and for all!

"You just want to quit because you're a coward!" Zaiaku screamed as he stomped his foot in the ground. Oh...he hit something there that is equivalent to throwing a match into an oil well. "WHAT? OK LOVER BOY IT'S TIME TO KICK YOUR ASS!" Naruto growled as shot forward and performed his infamous Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.

Zaiaku quickly summoned his coins from his clothes and threw them with deadly accuracy and speed intercepting the clones and turning them into puffs of smoke. When the field cleared of clone smoke all that remained was air and Zaiaku knew Naruto must have taken refuge in his Kitsune illusions. Suddenly Zaiaku felt a powerful pain corse throughout his entire body and the world took on a blue tint to it.

Naruto peeled himself from his Kitsune illusion behind Zaiaku and held a Kunai to his throat. "I win Zaiaku," Naruto said with a confident smirk. Zaiaku smirked and made several one handed seals away from Naruto's prying eyes, "oh yeah fox boy?" Zaiaku turned his golden eyes to Naruto showing they had transformed into his blood line ability. "Let's see how you do in an illusion of your sins, Shichi Zaiaku no Jutsu: Shikiyoku!" Zaiaku said as he threw Naruto off himself with a swift kick to his gut. As Naruto flew Zaiaku stared into the fox boys cerulean eyes with his own golden eyes and the pulsating black cross...

Naruto slowly opened his eyes and adjusted to the light only to find he was in a pure white room. What the hell had just happened? One minute he heard the Judge begin the match and all of a sudden he's in this room that smelt of medicine faint blood. That was odd...why did he feel like he had a bowling ball on his chest. Naruto rose his hand up to meet the so called bowling ball finding that it was covered in very fine strands of silk. What the hell?

Naruto picked his head up off his pillow and looked around the room, well it was now painfully obvious that he was in a hospital. If the beeping machines and IV bags were any dead giveaway. He lowered his head to look down at his chest, well it looked as though the bowling ball was covered in a very dark indigo. Wait...indigo...strands of silk...Hinata!

Naruto sighed, something mustn't have gone right if he's in the hospital and his Hinata-chan has her head lying on his chest. Going against most of his common sense he softly shook Hinata, "Hinata-chan, are you awake?" Hinata grumbled and then pulled herself from Naruto's warm chest. She turned and faced the Kitsune boy with a groggy look seconds before she realized who it was who called her into the world of the consciousness. Her pale violet eyes jumped open and a wide smile overcame her face. "NARUTO-KUN!" she proclaimed loudly instantly jumping onto Naruto's bed and hugging him with all she's worth.

"H...Hinata-chan," Naruto said blinking a few times attempting to register what was going on. Hinata rose to meet Naruto's line of vision with a teary eyed smile, "Naruto-kun. You pushed yourself to hard." Naruto blinked and softly cupped Hinata's cheek, "what happened Hinata-chan?"

"You fought Zaiaku but it went to a stale mate. He had many injuries and you had lost so much chakra. Kyuubi was reabsorbed into your body and gave you a good part of your chakra back but you still needed to recover. I'm sorry Naruto-kun but Katsu won," Hinata said sadly. Naruto looked down in shame, damn it he ALMOST had the rank of Chuunin!

"But," Hinata began with the shyest of smiles on her lips, "the council reviewed your matches and with Hokage-sama's orders you became a Chuunin." "YES!" Naruto yelled loud enough for probably everyone on the floor to hear him. Suddenly they heard footsteps and in an instant Tsunade was at the door.

"What! What happ-" Tsunade said before she fully took in what position the two ninja were in. After a few blinks of her eyes she gave Naruto and Hinata a knowing smirk and said, "I'll give you two some privacy." With that Tsunade closed the door leaving a brightly blushing pair lying on the bed.

"Uh...Hinata-chan..." Naruto said indicating the way they were seated. Hinata was pretty much on top of him and their hips met at a very...suggestive place. Hinata had already realized what position they were in if the way she blushed was any indication. However instead of leaping off Naruto as she had always done she bit her lip and looked away from Naruto as if she was in deep thought over something very embarrassing.

"N-Naruto-kun," she softly stuttered out, "d-do you n-not like me...l-like this?" Naruto blinked his mind a barren wasteland. What the...oh crap she looks like she's about to cry. "W-well...yeah I do but..." Naruto gulped and said in a slightly crackled tone, "I don't think we should..." Sawing Naruto was nervous was an understatement. He wasn't exactly the swinging bachelor that would do them and leave. He wasn't that type of person and since he wasn't popular at all he just never had those...'you know' experiences.

Hinata gulped audibly and got off Naruto leaving him somewhat depressed at no longer having contact with her. He enjoyed it heavily then began to curse himself for thinking of Hinata in such a dirty fashion. Even though his pervert meter, something he developed thanks to Ero-sannin, was off the scale he knew it was wrong. They should at least wait until marriage and...wait what is she doing?

Hinata swiftly activated the Byakugan and scanned the area around the door and the hospital. Comfortable with what Tsunade had done by keeping people away from the fox boys room she swiftly locked the door, closed the blinds, and walked back to Naruto, a wider more seductive sway in her step. It took every ounce of Naruto's will power to not let his vision sway from her obviously embarrassed face to her...oh god now what!

Hinata shyly yet in some way seductively unzipped her jacket and let it fall from her shoulders revealing her mesh shirt underneath and not much else...BAD NARUTO! Naruto began to mentally smack himself in the head but that didn't stop his thought's especially after Hinata had taken to her place she had before, lying on top of him now sans jacket.

For the first time since he woke up he realized that he was missing his shirt and coat...and his pants. His rough skin met her soft mesh covered flesh and he found that his body had begun to act on it's own. Thank the gods he still had his underwear on or this would be EVEN worse. "N-Naruto-kun..." came Hinata's soft voice causing Naruto to gulp audibly. "I...I..." she struggled to say as she crawled up closer to Naruto's face, carefully brushing certain excited parts of each other together which caused an involuntary gasp from both of them.

Hinata stared directly into Naruto's golden edged cerulean pools with her own exotic pale violet orbs, pasted on her face a blushing look of determination and seduction. "I can g-give you a r-runner up prize..." she said the most sultry she could as she lowered her lips to his own. Naruto's mind neatly blanked and he relied on instinct, kissing her back as if it in itself was a form of love making. Hinata slowly backed away from the kiss, her light mauve eyes shimmering with pure love...and hot blooded lust.

At this point all logicality in Naruto's mind had taken a hike and he softly wrapped his arms around her, bringing her into another kiss just as intense as the last. He broke that kiss earning a look of disappointment from Hinata but that was soon replaced with a light moan as he kissed along her jaw, stopping once and a while to nip at her collar bone. His hands began to travel with light caresses over her mesh covered skin eliciting even more soft moans from the girl along with a deeper blush on her face.

No...No...NO! This wasn't right! He can't be doing this with Hinata-chan! Not now! Naruto forcibly pulled himself from Hinata and sat up. Grabbing Hinata by the waist he set her off his person and onto the bed earning a look of pure sadness and rejection from her. "Y-you don't want me..." she said softly before her eyes began to tear and she covered her face with her hands.

"N-no! Hinata-chan I..." Naruto began but suddenly a lone tear that fell from Hinata's face reflected a glint of something silver. His eyes sprung open, he hazily remembered something...during the match Zaiaku said something about an illusion! Naruto swiftly grabbed Hinata and dodged to the side just narrowly avoiding a kunai meant for his shoulder.

He landed on his back and formed the needed hand seal, "KAI!" The world that had surround Naruto, the hospital, even Hinata faded from view and all he saw was Zaiaku a sly smirk on his face. "How was your...lusty dream Naruto?" Zaiaku asked with a devilish smirk. Naruto stood shaking, the uncomfortableness in his pants long gone. "YOU ASS!" Naruto screamed as he held up his hands and formed two perfected Rasengan.

"Oh I'm quaking in fear Naruto. My coins can easily block those," Zaiaku said as his coins rose in shield formation. Naruto growled and tossed the Rasengan into the air, then caught it on the tip of one of his tails. "Rasengan is a self sustaining jutsu, know what that means Zaiaku?" Naruto said with a wide smirk as his empty palm was soon filled with yet another Rasengan. "Shit," Zaiaku muttered as Naruto viciously formed Rasengan, putting one on each tail and one in each hand.

"U-zu-ma-ki Na-ru-to Rasengan Danmaku!" Naruto called, punctuating each syllable of his name and 'Rasengan' with a new Rasengan on his tail or hands. Naruto charged Zaiaku who barely had time to reinforce his coins.

One hit and his shield held fast...

Second hit his shield still standing true...

Third hit his shield began to groan with the stress and weight of the hurricanes...

Fourth hit and his shield began to give...

Fifth hit and his shield formed cracks letting wind fly through it...

Sixth and his shield completely shattered to pieces!

Seventh hit was special. This Rasengan was made of fiery chakra that was literally burning a hole right in the coins protecting his chest as he felt the hurricane drill into his chest.

Eighth hit was of pure wind and electrical chakra. The pain and pressure was double fold and by now the seventh had eaten away at his coins leaving his skin vulnerable to the fire, electricity, and tearing wind. Zaiaku felt the duel Rasengan burn, rip, and shock his chest but forced the pain out of his mind. He could deal with the pain! He wouldn't give in! Spinning on his foot both Rasengan slid off his chest and into the ground behind him causing a massive shockwave that rocked the entire arena.

Zaiaku snarled at the burning skin on his chest and the coursing pain in his skull, he had felt worse! This was nothing! He swiftly reached behind his back and brought forth his prized weapon. He charged at Naruto moving to strike the fox boy but in a flash Naruto had disarmed him by sending his massive black sword to the other side of the arena.

"DAMN YOU!" Zaiaku said as he aimed a punch directly for Naruto's face only to have his fist caught. Naruto smirked as he turned swiftly and smashed Zaiaku with his six tails, each one of them reinforced with chakra to the point that they felt like diamond clubs. Zaiaku flew through the air and landed on his feet rushing at Naruto like a mad man, his eyes reserves pouring chakra into his legs making him faster. "Fox mutant!" Zaiaku said as he laid a punch in Naruto's gut.

Naruto grabbed his forearm and replied, "piggy bank!" Naruto spun in a circle quickly then let go sending Zaiaku into the wall behind him. "Anthropomorphic!" Zaiaku yelled as he burst from the destruction and charged Naruto. "What?" Naruto asked just before Zaiaku decked him in the face sending him flying. "You heard me!" Zaiaku yelled as Naruto twisted in the air and landed on his feet and hands like a fox.

"SINNER!" Naruto yelled regretting the words the second they left his mouth. Damn it! It was an accident! He didn't mean to say it! It just slipped out! Damn it if being low on chakra wasn't enough now Zaiaku was gonna be pissed!

Meanwhile Zaiaku stared at Naruto, his right eye twitching violently. Zaiaku yelled like an enraged animal and screamed, "NARUTO!" Suddenly Zaiaku began to form some VERY familiar hand seals to Naruto. Naruto's eyes snapped open, oh holy shit. OH HOLY MERCIFUL SHIT!

"No where to run this time Kitsune!" Zaiaku said as he finished his sequence and smirked. He took a deep breath to begin the jutsu...

"HOLD IT!" came a loud feminine voice from the exit. Both combatants turned to see Mitarashi Anko standing there with crossed arms. "I looked through the sound files and found who REALLY quit this match first. The winner of this match is..."
