Naruto chuckled as he woke up. It was time for the Finals and he was stoked.

He quickly did his morning regime as he mulled the month that took place.

He had trained his ass off for the whole month with the sage Jiraiya and it showed. His already impressive reserves and control have increased under the man's tutelage and his repertoire of jutsu has improved as well. His beginning jutsu was made more efficient as well, the number of shadow clones he can make almost tripling from last month.

Haku and Kiba's training assisted as well, his base strength, speed and especially his stealth have improved greatly. All the tricks he got from his sexcapades were trained as well, although his genjutsu abilities were still hardly battle-ready, especially against a Hyūga. Still, he felt pretty sure that none of his classmates could take him on now.

The invasion, on the other hand, might need his demon for. Many skilled ninjas were ready to take out Konoha and everyone in it, most of whom were most certainly jonin level and above. Fighting that many powerful enemies, and right after fights against Neji and either Lee or Sasuki no doubt, would simply be too difficult without the Kyūbi. Fortunately, his demon powers have improved as well, albeit not by training, but via the cursed seal that the Kyūbi assimilated. He still wasn't sure what effects that the seal had on his demon form, but any negative effects should negligible, if not nonexistent, while the benefits-

"Oi." Kyūbi snapped as Naruto walked into the kitchen. "Knock it off."

"Knock what off?" Naruto asked.

"Stop thinking so much. You're giving me a headache." Kyūbi said. "You did all the thinking when it came to training and planning. Now trust in your own work and show your superiority."

Naruto scoffed. "Sorry to break it to you, but our species gets by because we think so much. We can't all shoot giant death balls from our mouths at our convenience."

"Smartass little shit."

"Naruto-sama!" A voice called out. Naruto turned to it to see Tsubaki, carrying a tray towards the table. "Here's breakfast."

Naruto smiled. "Which is?"

"Ramen and Bacon, Naruto-sama." Tsubaki bowed. "Ramen for carbs, bacon is fatty protein for later on."

Naruto smirked. "You must've made Mizuki a happy husband."

Tsubaki stilled. "Not as happy as I'll make you."

"Prove it," Naruto ordered, sitting down. "Kneel and blow me while I have my breakfast."

"Yes, Master." Moving to obey, her knees bend, bringing her to the floor as she undoes his pants. All the while, Naruto chows down.

She quickly starts swallowing it, her cheeks bulging at the size. She bobs up and down on the python-like so many other times. Yet despite the clear pleasure in his face, Tsubaki couldn't help but notice that he's not emoting much. The blonde is still eating his breakfast, and he's barely getting more than a grunt every few thrusts or so from him as she blows him. While this is more the ramen grabbing his attention than any incompetence on her part, this still irked her.

Deciding to up the ante, Tsubaki quickly wraps her breasts around Naruto's cock and squeezed them together. This caused Naruto to stall for a bit and look down, quickly recognizing the change. He clenched his pelvic muscles, pleasure twisting the grin on his face.

"You're improving," Naruto admitted after swallowing a bite.

"This slut lives to serve, master." Tsubaki gasps before diving back down on the large cock. Tsubaki's tongue wraps around Naruto's member along with her tits as she sucks on him. The room fills with arousing sounds as Tsubaki slurps up more and more of his dick into her mouth.

As Naruto finished his bacon, he completed and gave Tsubaki her breakfast for the day. His cock shot its cum into her mouth, filling it near instantly. She almost chokes and spills it, but her recent experience of blowing Naruto allows her to swallow it all in time.

Naruto proceeds to get up and redo his pants as Tsubaki finishes her cum breakfast. "See you after I become chunin." He proclaims, walking out the door.

Tsubaki merely waves her hand goodbye, specks of cum around her mouth.

Finally, the Third and final Exam began.

The Roman Colosseum like arena was bustling with excitement. Vendors of many countries intending to make a quick buck. Bets were being made on the upcoming fights. And people were pushing and shoving each other to get the best seats.

In the middle of the Colosseum, the chunin hopeful stood for the exam. For some reason, Sasuki was absent from the proceedings.

"Where is she?" Naruto and Sakura thought. They both knew she wouldn't be disqualified immediately due to being an Uchiha and the top rookie, at least in the public's eye, but it was still rather odd.

Kakashi had a tendency to be late, but Sasuki most certainly did not.

Unfortunately, they were unable to dwell on it long as the matches began to start.

"Listen up," Genma said. "Although the landscape is different, the same rules apply as in the preliminaries; there are no rules. The match will only end when someone dies or gives up. But if I decide that the match is over, I will stop the match."

"Yes." The genin stated.

Genma proceeded to call the match. "The first match, Sakura vs Temari, will start in 10 minutes. The rest of you walk back up to the stands."

Sakura swallowed hard as she saw Temari staring her down with a dark smirk.

"This'll be quick." Temari gloated.

"She's underestimating me." Sakura thought. "That helps...a little."

Genma bowed. "Let's the match begin."

Temari wastes no time as she sends a gust of wind towards Sakura, who was currently going through a series of hand signs. Right before the wind sent her flying, she sinks into the ground, a smirk of her on her face.

Not to be deterred, Temari launches herself skyward with her fan before gliding down, stretching her senses to see check the pinkette was.

A wise move, as Sakura quickly pops up in the same spot that Temari was in, and hurls a kunai with an exploding tag attached at her.

Temari tries to swerve out of the range of the blast with her fan but gets caught by the fringes, knocking her into a tailspin as her flight plan was thrown off course.

However, rather than crash, Temari quickly snaps her fan shut and lands on her feet, her arrogance quickly morphed into rage. "Bitch!"

Her newfound rage quickly found more kindle, when her instincts roared at her to move and she quickly jumps out of the way of another exploding kunai, replacing herself with a rock to avoid the explosion.

"Kamaitachi!" Temari roared, aiming her technique slightly downward to ensure she hit underground. The howling winds shredded the ground apart, tearing through rock rending through the dirt. Even after the attack ended however, the sand ninja and kept her hand on her fan, intent on ending this before anything else happened.

Sakura gasped as she burst from the ground, small cuts on her body garnered from the attack. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

Temari wasted no time, swinging her fan, whipping out the big guns for her stubborn opponent. "DAI KAMAITACHI!" A massive gale of sharp winds rended at the ground with mercy or restraint. Sakura paled as the wind came at her, tearing up the ground too much to pass through it. She was no master at it, only getting the technique from her master a week ago. On top of that, Temari's winds were far greater than she expected. "Was she even trying against Tenten?"

She frantically ran through her options as the gales rushed at her way, before an insane idea in her head. She rushed through 5 hand signs as the gales struck her. "Replacement!"

Temari was really irritated at how the fight was going, she normally wasn't one to underestimate her opponents but based on her showing against Ino, she shouldn't have stood a chance against her. Even not counting the fact that all of the pinkette's jutsu repertoire was close range, something she could firmly shut down, there was the fact that she hadn't used any Earth jutsu or exploding tags in that fight. "How did her fighting style change so fast?"

"Temari! Above!" Shouted Kankurō from the rafters as everyone watching noticed what Temari didn't.

"Above…?" Temari mumbled curiously as she looked up and almost jumped out of her skin.

Sakura had replaced herself right above Temari and was falling from the sky with Chakra Scalpels at the ready.

"What the-?!" Temari yelled, trying to jump out of the way, only to get her left shoulder nicked. "Fuck!" She swore as her arm got noticeably heavier.

Naruto scowled in the balcony, had Kankuro not gave her away, that trick could've won Sakura the match right there. "Ah well." He sighed. "Not like the blonde can fight with one arm anyway."

Temari held back a storm of swears she tried to lift her fan, her arm was only nicked so it wasn't rendered useless, but it took a lot more effort to move now.

"Got you..." Sakura gave a mad grin as she rushed at Temari, scalpels extending. Temari tried to swing her fan to blow her away, but between the distance Sakura covered, and the torn tendons in her shoulder, she simply couldn't attack fast enough.

Sakura slashed at Temari's hip with the scalpel before pushing her to the ground. Temari shrieked as she hit the floor and couldn't get back up.

"Give up?" Sakura asked with a smirk and kunai in hand.

Temari groaned. "I...I give up."

"The winner is Sakura Haruno," Genma stated.

"Go Forehead!" Ino whooped.

"She won!" Hinata beamed.

Sarutobi smirked. "Impressive growth."

Naruto chuckled. "And to think, she used to be just a worthless fangirl." He thought. "It's amazing what the right motivation can do to a person."

"You mean cock." Kyūbi quipped.

"Potato, Potahto."

"You did well." Naruto praised.

Sakura beamed at her master's praise. "It was your and Haku's teaching that made me strong, master."

"Well, either way, you won your fight," Naruto stated before frowning. "How much chakra did you use in that fight? Can you fight Lee when the time comes?"

"I did use a lot," Sakura admitted. "But I think I can put up a good fight against Lee, probably not win, but it won't be a total stomp."

"Good." Naruto started to walk toward the stands.

"Wait!" Sakura called, grabbing Naruto's arm. "The next fight isn't starting in 10 minutes so..."

"So what?" Naruto smirked.

"Can we have a quickie?" Sakura asked. "It'll be fast, I promise!"

Naruto snorted. This girl was insatiable! "Well, it wouldn't hurt."

A quick check of the men's bathroom showed no one around, and the two teens quickly locked themselves in a stall. Naruto cast two small genjutsu on him and Sakura, a noise-dampening genjutsu, and attention redirecting one. Naruto couldn't make a genjutsu strong enough faze anyone he'd be fighting, but two E-rank genjustu was easily in his skill level.

A few seconds later, Naruto had drawn and laid the big throbbing hard cock across Sakura's reddening face. The victorious girl was left panting heavily as she breathed in his delicious musk and potent pheromones. She breathed in the devilish scent before shoving herself down the member. She quickly got down to deep-throating the large dick, fingers diving down into her panties.

Naruto thrust his hips into Sakura's moaning face. No matter how many times he did it, pounding former crush and the first slut never got old. The small, yet still great, chance of being found out added to the excitement. His bulging flesh crashed into the back of Sakura's throat, again and again, his powerful libido driving actions like it has done so so many times.

And yet, the experience Sakura's gotten from being fucked like a bitch so many times has given her the ability to handle such treatment. As such, she was able to take every last inch of her delicious Master's cock into her face hole without any issue whatsoever.

"Fuck, it's so hot! And tastes so good!" Sakura squealed, despite her mouth still being full of cock and cum.

Naruto blinked. "How are you doing that?"

"Just a ventriloquism justsu I found. You like?"

Naruto snorted, merely pounding her face harder. "Very."

She gobbled him down and her tongue wound up and down the length of his shaft as she did so, until finally Naruto let out a grunt and came straight down into her empty gullet, filling her with his seed.

"Yes! Give it to me!" Sakura screamed. "Flood my stomach with your cum!"

Naruto very gladly obliged, hearing the praise of the girl he was face-fucking mid-orgasm causing him to blow his load into her mouth especially hard. Sakura squirted from her cunt as she swallowed every last drop of it, taking her Master's white-hot cum within her and reveling in the delicious taste.

Her sopping wet pussy was eager and willing for his cock and when Naruto didn't soften but hardened upon his first release, Sakura eagerly pulled back so that his shaft would leave her mouth with a pop, laying back on the hard floor beneath her and spreading herself open right then and there in the restroom. Naruto got the message and fell to his knees before her, his throbbing cock primed to pierce her yet again. With a savage grin, Naruto pushed into Sakura's cunt with gusto.

A loud and altogether lewd moan left Sakura's mouth as Naruto penetrated her. Anyone that could see through the genjutsu would see the 'demon' of Konoha plowing a young girl with an amount of force that no man should.

"Yes! Yes! Please Naruto-sama, please Master! Fuck me, harder, faster! FUCK ME!"

Naruto leaned onto Sakura, her fucked-dumb babbling music to his ears. His heavy cum filled nuts swung with each thrust, spanking Sakura's clit, his hips hammering her's as they turned from pale white, to peachy pink, to scarlet red. He pressed his lips hard to hers, forcing his tongue in her mouth, his hands groping her flat chest. He felt Sakura's dirty drooling snatch squeezing his fat cock, hot sticky juices running down, heavily coating it as she came for him. She moaned loudly into his mouth, happily sucking his tongue down.

Eventually, Naruto gave one last thrust into Sakura's waiting womb and filled it with his seed, finding his second release of the night after she'd already experienced more than ten herself.

Naruto then pulled out, leaving Sakura half passed out on the restroom floor. A quick check around showed that no one showed up while they boned. Absentmindedly, Naruto sent a clone out to check if the next match started while they fucked.

"I forfeit," Kankuro stated, to the outrage of the crowds.

"The plan was to have the siblings forfeit matches where they might get hurt." Baki thought. "But it's especially apparent now that Temari underestimated her opponent and hurt her arm, not to mention the small signs that Konoha might be onto us. If shit hits the fan, we need all of us in tip-top shape to survive."

"Winner of the second match by forfeit is Neji Hyūga," Genma stated, unfazed by the enraged jeers and boos of the crowd. "The third match will start in 10 minutes. If Sasuki is not present by then, She will automatically forfeit and Shino will be declared the winner."

The Naruto clone frowned at that. He seriously doubted that this was intentional on Kakashi's part. Maybe he should...

"Yo."

"Son of a-!" The clone nearly popped out of shock as he noticed Sasuki and Kakashi right behind him. "Where the hell have you two been!?"

"Training," Kakashi stated. "And touch-ups."

Naruto noticed that Sasuki was looking different. She wore a black one-piece suit that accentuated her legs and curves. Her hair was notably longer, being tied up at shoulder length. Small belt-like wrappings covered her arms and legs, limbs that were sporting a little more muscle than usual. Overall, she looked she like could kick someone's ass and look good doing it.

"You didn't think I wouldn't come, did you?" Sasuki snarked.

"Everyone else did." The clone quipped irritably. "You missed Sakura's fight and a few more minutes and you'd have been disqualified."

Sasuki glared at Kakashi, clearly not happy with how late they were. "I told you we should've come sooner."

"Oi. Keeping the seal contained is more important than becoming Chunin kids." Kakashi protested. "Most genin teams don't even attend the exams so quickly."

Sasuki scowled, repressing the urge to scratch the seal again. "Hey. Where's Sakura and the real Naruto?"

"So you noticed," Naruto stated. "Both had to take a shit. Looking good by the way."

"Thanks," Sasuki smirked. "Now if you don't mind me, I have some bugs to squash."

"What took you so long?" Shino asked irritably. "I almost thought you had chickened out."

"Please," Sasuki, in the middle of a few pre-battle stretches, scoffed at the accusation. "If you genuinely thought that, you clearly don't know me well enough."

"Well, considering that the winner of this fight is set to battle..."

"The girl that crushed a guy into a fine paste." Sasuki finished the sentence for Shino. "Yeah, that makes why you thought I'd back off."

"Do you even have a plan for her?" Shino questioned.

"Yes. Do you?"

"Yes."

Genma bowed. "Let's the match begin."

"Well then," Sasuki grinned savagely. "Let's see who's more prepared."

Sasuki charged at Shino, her speed notably greater than anything seen from her at this point. Undeterred, Shino merely let loose a stream of kikaichū from his legs towards her. Sasuki responded by jumping up, making a few hand signs, and calling out: "Katon! Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"

Sasuki let loose an utterly massive blast of flame downward, the force of the blast actually propelling her into the air. When the technique ends, the girl dropped feet first onto the floor, turning to the sight of the charred body, or rather...

"Knew it. Insect clone." Sasuki frowned, seeing the roasted kikaichū in the shape of a cadaver. "Where are you, you coward?"

"I am hardly a coward." An Insect clone quipped. "I merely chose to attack at a long-range as you outclass me in close range."

A fireball crashed into the clone's head, dissipating it instantly.

"Stop wasting my time." Sasuki snapped, activating her Sharingan, and scouring the area for any sign of Shino. She quickly located him, behind the trees at the edge. To her irritation, he was also surrounded by kikaichū, crawling around in the trees and on the ground. More to her irritation, she could see faint signals of chakra from the ground, indicating there were some underground as well...and coming up fast.

"Tch!" Sasuki jumped up, narrowly avoiding the kikaichū coming out of the ground. "Guess I don't have a choice." She proceeded to make a series of hand seals.

"That isn't a jutsu I've seen before." Shino frowned, seeing Sasuki through his beetles surrounding her. "What is she."

And then Sasuki lit up.

"What the-!" Shino gaped as Sasuki erupted into flames, burning away any kikaichū that were near her.

"Katon: Blazing Cloak," Sasuki announced with a mad grin, before rushing at the area Shino stood in.

"Woah." Naruto blinked. "That's new."

He and Sakura had gone straight back to the stand once Sakura had gotten her bearings, and were watching Sasuki's battle with Shino with Kakashi. They expected Sasuki to win handily as she had fire techniques and the Sharingan to see the bugs crawling, and thus not fall to the same mistake that Kin did. However, Shino was giving as good as he needed to, his tricks and clones keeping the Uchiha on her toes.

And then Sasuki lit herself on fire.

"The Uchiha have a large jutsu library via their justu-stealing eyes," Kakashi explained. "Many of which were aimed toward the weaknesses of the Uchiha and the other clans. It is why we have the greatest diversity in ninja compared to the other villages. There is a reason why the Sharingan is named the 'Copy Wheel Eye."

"That's awesome." Sakura gaped.

"However, that jutsu she's using is rather chakra costly." Kakashi frowned. "She likely going to end the fight now if she wants a chance against Gaara."

Shino paled as a flaming, red-eyed, madly grinning girl came charging at her. He had no chance of stopping her with his bugs, and he'd likely burn through his whole colony trying. He only had one trick left now.

Grabbing onto a small pellet, Shino grimaced. He was hoping to not use this particular item so early in his matches, but he had literally nothing else up his sleeve.

He dropped it on the ground, letting a swarm of his kikaichū form around it into a clone, and sent the clone toward Sasuki.

Sasuki smirked, seeing the last desperate endeavor with her eyes. She easily jumped over the clone, planning to land right in front of Shino and deliver the beat down.

However, she saw the insect clone reach out with an extending arm to grab her. "He doesn't really think that's gonna work, does he-"

BOOM!

A sticky purple substance exploded right behind Sasuki as Shino took a few steps away to avoid getting any on him. The pellet was a special Aburame designed pill for ninja with large amounts of chakra. Once exposed to noticeable chakra releases, the pellet releases a kikaichū-made substance that saps chakra out of the user.

"I had planned to use this against Gaara, but you forced my hand," Shino stated to the slumped over Uchiha. "You have my resp-"

Wham!

Shino gasped in pain as he hit the ground, the full-on tackle that Sasuki attacked him with knocking the wind out of him.

"Give up?" Sasuki growled, kunai on his jugular.

"I...I concede." Shino gasped out, the stained but still red hot Uchiha on his chest almost knocking him out.

"Winner by surrender, Sasuki Uchiha!" Genma stated, to the roaring crowd.

Sarutobi smiled at team 7's progress, it took a while for Kakashi to find a satisfactory team, but damn did he train them well.

'Rasa' on the other hand, smiled savagely under his hat. The Uchiha was incredible! To achieve such excellent nin-taijutsu at her age was near unbelievable. Not to mention her reserves were quite sustainable, to fight such a fight without the curse seal.

"Oh. Speaking of the cursed seal." 'Rasa' grinned as he saw Sasuki drop to her knees, hand on her shoulder.

"FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK!" Sasuki swore, clutching her throbbing shoulder. She had been taken to the infirmary just as her match was called.

"I told you to be careful." Kakashi admonished.

"How was I supposed he had a chakra stealing sap pill on him?!" Sasuki snarled, forcing the seal down.

"Can she fight again?" Sakura asked, concern visible on her face.

"Had she not been hit by that last trick, yes, but now..." Kakashi frowned.

"Can't you take some ration pills?" Naruto suggested.

"I could, but the chakra would get eaten up quickly," Kakashi stated. "The chakra you get pills are wilder, less controllable. and drain faster. Especially to outside influence like the curse seal. It's a stopgap solution at most."

"A stopgap solution is better than no solution." Sasuki shuffling through her ninja pouch with what control she had over her fingers, picking out a soldier pill and taking it. A surge of energy ran through her system, feeding the seal and easing the flaring pain. "I'll just not move much before the fight with Gaara. That snake bastard isn't ruining my chances for chunin."

"You've got balls." Naruto genuinely complimented.

"If Hinata was willing to keep fighting, then so shall I!" Sasuki snapped. "Someone's got to put Neji in his place if you fail to."

"Why Neji specifically?" Kakashi questioned. "What about Gaara?"

"He reminds me of someone I hate." Sasuki snapped. "And I'm not saying more than that."

Naruto frowned. "Neji reminds her of someone she hates? Who?" A past exchange with the Uchiha suddenly comes to mind. "Is it her brother?"

"Start!"

"I apologize Sakura-chan," Lee stated, taking off his leg warmers, revealing his weights. "But I cannot hold back."

Sakura immediately redid her strategy from Temari, slipping into the ground as Lee took his weights off. "Didn't expect you to."

"Thank god he forgot to take those off before we started." Sakura thought, pulling out kunai underground. "I'd have lost the fight before I'd finished the first seal."

Points for her: Lee was incapable of getting to her underground, she was far smarter, and she could nin and genjutsu while he could not.

Points for Lee: Lee was faster and stronger by multiple country miles, and Sakura still didn't have the reserves to stay underground for the whole fight, especially after her fight with Temari.

A small grimace slipped on her face. "What to do?"

Lee frowned at the turns of events. He was admittedly conflicted fighting someone as beautiful as Sakura, but the debacle with Zaku had firmly curbed the mercy he'd give. After all, it'd be hypocritical of him to expect her to give up in the face of overwhelming odds, and if she didn't want to fight, she could've merely forfeited.

However, her manner of battle, if one could call it that, was rather unyouthful by his standards. The girl had jumped underground the moment the fight started and hadn't come back up for a few minutes. "Come on out Sakura-chan! I believe we should have a most youthful battle!" A kunai suddenly erupted from the ground, thrown towards Lee, who quickly leaned out of the way.

"As in man-to-woman?" Sakura replied casually from a good distance. "Sorry, but I'm simply not built for that."

"A pity," Lee stated, leaping over at Sakura. "But I plan on having a battle to remember with you regardless!" Lee flew through the air for a kick to the chest, only to pass right through her as she faded away into nothingness. Lee gasped. "A clone? But it talked-!"

Boom!

Lee yelped as an exploding tag went off as he landed, enveloping him in fire and light.

Underground, Sakura grinned wildly. Combing clones with an E-rank ventriloquism justsu was a brilliant alternative to shadow clones. It cost far less chakra and was arguably just as distracting. She intended to just have the jutsu for speaking mid-blowjob, but this works as well. Rushing around underground and planting exploding tags all over the place, turning the area into a minefield only adds to the greatness. While she could've tried a genjutsu, most she had were chakra costly, something she was really having trouble with, and required knowing where the target was anyway, a difficult task when the opponent could break the sound barrier.

"Damn, is that Sakura?" Sasuki said incredulously, watching Lee avoid kunai with exploding tags while trying to tell where the mines are.

"She wanted to useful," Naruto replied with a smirk. "You weren't the only one that trained like mad the past month."

"To think that I didn't even give her a teacher for the fight," Kakashi said, mild pride in his voice.

Naruto couldn't help but take pride in this as well. He never even considered letting keep up her ninja training when he first caught her, planning on having her fail the test and making her a breeding sow for the rest of her life if it weren't for Kakashi's test. And now look at what some motivation had done to her. It was very unlikely she'll win this, but at this rate, he could barely care. He was loving this.

"Hey, Lee-chan!" A Sakura called out. "It's me!"

"Don't listen to her," Another Sakura scoffed. "I'm the real one!"

"They both lie!" Yet another Sakura roared. "I'm the prettiest, therefore I'm the real one!"

Lee swallowed as he took in his situation. Sakura had turned the area into a minefield and was hurling exploding kunai out of the ground every time he stayed still for too long.

"Very impressive, my friend." He slowly straightened his back, getting more of his wind back with every breath. "I had greatly underestimated your tactical mind." He looked around to see anyway before blinking at the training weights he left in the middle. "Maybe it'll work aga-"

He suddenly stumbled as his head started to pound for no reason, and his vision started to blur.

"Ninja art: Helm Splitter." Sakura grinned. The genjutsu she unleashed being a simple one, but a potent one. It merely replicates the effects of a migraine, but with exploding tags strewn all over, it wouldn't be too hard to stumble into one. With a mad grin, she rose out and hurled her last exploding kunai at him. "Dodge this!"

"Gate of Opening!"

A sudden surge of chakra blew Sakura off her feet as Lee vanished from sight. "What-"

"Sakura-chan!" Lee called out, and it took a second for Sakura to realize that Lee was up in the air. "You have put up a youthful fight, but it appears that I've won!"

Sakura's eyes bulged as she saw the weights in Lee's hand and flashbacked to Lee's fight with Zaku. Having a pretty good idea about what was about to happen, she quickly tried to slink back in the ground.

Thump-thump.

"Gah!?" She grabbed her chest in pain and reflexively coughed hard. "Damn it! Not now!" She snarled, as coldness filled her body, the chakra in it spent entirely.

She couldn't even run when Lee, with all of his gate-augmented strength, hurled his incredible heavyweights into the ground, the force of the impact creating a shockwave that set off every exploding tag in the area.

BOOM!

Sakura was flung into the air by the blasts, knocked out cold. Fortunately, Lee was able to catch her before she hit the ground.

"Winner by knockout, Rock Lee," Genma stated.

Naruto blinked, his mind ceasing to work along with most of the genin. "...The fuck?"

"What… what just happened?" Sasuki asked in a daze. "Sakura was winning…"

"The eight gates." Kakashi frowned.

"What kind of justu is that?" Naruto said, still trying to process Lee's out-of-goddamn-nowhere victory.

"They are a jutsu, per se, they are 8 inner limiters in the body that keep it from harming itself via overexerting themselves," Kakashi stated solemnly. "With special training, one can open these gates, releasing restraints on the body. The gate of opening is the first gate, located in the brain. It releases the restraints put on the muscles by the brain, allowing them to operate 100% capacity."

"You seem to know a lot about what just happened," Sasuki stated.

"Well, a friend\rival of mine is very well versed in the gates," Kakashi explained. "He's actually Lee's teacher if I remember correctly."

"And you didn't think it would be a decent idea to warn us about this?!" Sasuki snapped in outrage.

"I didn't think he'd teach him that jutsu." Kakashi scowled. "It's a dangerous technique, not to be taught lightly."

"But you taught me-" Sasuki argued.

"You were going up against Gaara, whose main power is weak to that jutsu," Kakashi stated. "Not to mention that it usually takes fae more than a month to teach someone how to open the gates."

Naruto sighed. "Either way, Sakura almost won that fight. I was pretty aware she couldn't win, but she got way closer than I thought she would."

"Yes, she is definitely gonna make chunin," Kakashi said.

"Wait. But she lo-" Sasuki paused. "Oh right. Victory isn't necessary for chunin." Sasuki realized.

"Next match. Naruto Uzumaki vs. Neji Hyūga." Genma states.

A dark grin forms around Naruto's face. "It's fucking go time."
