Chapter 2

Slowly, Naruto and Sasuke entered the ring. Glaring at each other, they made the sign of aggression and settled into their respective stances. While Sasuke used his family's tried and true Uchiha Interceptor Style (patent pending), Naruto got into the new Taijutsu stance that his Ero-jiji had taught him, Dancing Frog Style.

'I cannot believe you are using that ridiculous perverts fighting style, Ningen.' Growled the voice of the Kyuubi deep within Naruto's mind, 'You should decimate this emo clown using the Raging Fox style we have been working on.'

"Not the right time, Furball," Naruto thought as he easily ducked under a high kick delivered from the Duck haired Uchiha, "If I use our style, lots of people will figure out pretty fast that you and I are working together. Old Man Hokage said that would cause a lot of paperwork."

Distracted by his conversation with his tenant, Naruto wasn't able to react in time to Sasuke's latest attack. A solid left hook collided with the side of our blonde hero's head, causing him to spin through the air an d nearly land outside the ring.

"GO SASUKE-KUN!" Sakura shrieked as she lay in a crumpled heap on the ground causing the nearby windows to rattle and crack.

"Shut up Forehead!" Ino shouted, "Like my Sasuke-Kun would go for a peasant like you!"

"Oh please porker, like Sasuke-Kun would want to be with a blonde pig like you! Sakura snapped back as she struggled to get up.

Slowly, a now awake Hinata walked over to Sakura and jabbed her in the throat with 2 chakra coated fingers. Sneaking up behind Ino, Hinata whispered in a sickeningly sweet voice.

"I don't want you two distracting Naruto-kun." She growled, holding her fingers inches away from Ino's neck, "So keep quiet and let me enjoy the fight."

"Since when are you so confident?" Ino asked, a bead of sweat rolling down her face.

"I'm not." Hinata admitted, lowering her hand, "But, I will fight for him and defend him if someone tries to hurt him. Now, shush."

As Naruto struggled to his feet, a small flash caught his eye. The glittering gemstone had fallen from his pocket as he had landed hard on the ground. Bending down to pick it up, the stone slowly began to glow as Naruto held it tightly.

Could it be? The Kyuubi thought, He truly is the most unpredictable ninja.

Quickly, The Last Loyal Uchiha® began flashing through handsigns preparing to unleash the jutsu that made his family famous. As he saw this, a small flash of fear echoed through his mind.

'Relax, Ningen,' The Kyuubi said as it focused a bit of its chakra into the nine tails flailing behind it, 'I'm going to implant a jutsu into your mind. The hand seals are one handed, you NEED to be holding that gem when you perform it.'

Clutching the stone tightly, Naruto quickly flashed through the new handsigns and slammed his palm on the ground as both teens unleashed their Jutsu.

"Great Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke shouted, exhaling a fireball easily as large as a small child.

"Diamond Rampart Jutsu!" Naruto shouted, a jagged crystal wall springing into existence.

As fireball and crystal wall met, a fiery explosion erupted in mid-air. Standing tall was the gemstone wall, an uninjured Uzumaki standing proudly behind it.

"Come and get me, Teme," Naruto said, using over exaggerated mouth motions to make it look like he was being badly dubbed, "Your kung fu is weak."

Letting out a fierce battle cry, Sasuke rushed forward closing the distance between them. Placing a chakra filled hand on the diamond wall, Naurto flared his energy higher and shouted the name of another technique.

"Diamond Prison Jutsu!" He roared as the diamond wall liquefied and surged forward landing with a loud splash around Sasuke.

Without warning, a solid dome of chakra infused gemstone closed around the Last Loyal Uchiha®. Crashing hard into the crystalline wall, Sasuke bounced off, a splash of crimson decorating the solid stone. As he shakily got to his feet, blood continued to stream from his now broken nose.

"Let me out of here, dobe!" He cried, beating his fists uselessly against the wall, "When I get out of here-"

"You'll what?" Naruto said with a smirk, "From what I can see, you're stuck and this spar is over. Now, forfeit or I'll leave you in there."

Little known fact about Sasuke was that he hated enclosed spaces. Before he could devolve completely into a drooling, blubbering mess, he raised his hand and shouted out for Iruka to end the match.

"Good job, Naruto." The scarred chunin said, "Now, let him out."

Holding the glowing gemstone tightly, Naruto made a half tora seal and flared his chakra.

"Kai!" He shouted, releasing his hold on the Jutsu.

Quickly, the glittering structure disintegrated into nothing more than glitter in the wind. Naruto smiled broadly for a few minutes before he found himself surrounded by the Hokage's most elite shinobi, The Anbu. The squad captain, a tall thin ninja in a dog mask codenamed Inu looked on in amazement at the display in front of him. He had seen similar skills from his former sensei's wife and knew exactly what this meant for the future.

"Iruka-san," He said, the seals in his mask distorting his voice, "Young Uzumaki-sama has been summoned to the Hokage's office. He will be returning later next week."

"Very well, Ka-I mean Inu-san." The young teacher said, maintaining his former leaders identity, "I will make sure to hold over any work he may miss."

Placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder, Inu used the Shunshin Jutsu to teleport the two of them to the inside of the village leaders office. Glancing up from the large crystal ball on his desk, Hiruzen smiled at the two ninja in front of him.

"Hi Jiji." Naruto said, "Did you really need to send Kakashi-niisan to come get me. You could have just sent one of the chibi-monkeys."

"Yes I did, Naruto." The old man chuckled, "I wanted to surprise your brother with your Kekkei Genkai ."

"My what?" The blonde said, tilting his head to the side.

"Your bloodline Otouto." Kakashi said, pulling off his Anbu mask while leaving the cloth mask covering the lower portion of his face in place.
