A/N - Yep, that's right, I have FINALLY uploaded a new chapter for this fic! It's been years, hasn't it? I hope this chapter is to your liking! It's rull of random goodness and fun craziness, as is Naruki's style! There's Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and even a little bit of tentacle rape involved this time. Speaking of which, I'll put a notice in the fic where the tentacle rape is so you can avoid it if that's not to your fancy. It's pretty funny though, at least I think so, but if it's not your thing, it's not your thing. :P I just went with a bunch of random crap, threw it all together, went with whatever the heck my mind made up, and this chapter kinda just came together for me.
Anyways, hopefully you enjoy the chapter! As you can see by the chapter title, it's a big one!
Chapter 6 - The Big Reveal...Oopsie?
Naruto pouted as he realized he wouldn't be the first one to fight. Instead, as per usual, Sasuke got that privilege. He was up against one of Kabuto's teammates, and it seemed like Kakashi-sensei didn't want the Uchiha to use that curse mark thingy. It was probably for the best, but knowing Sasuke, he'd use whatever power he wanted. However, as her teammate didn't want to be pulled out of the competition, Naruto knew that he'd obey Kakashi's orders and stick to pure taijutsu for this fight unless ninjutsu or genjutsu was absolutely necessary in order to win.
Yes, the curse mark had been sealed, but it would seem Kakashi didn't want to take any chances with it just yet. Naruto figured that if he were to dabble in the art of fuinjutsu some that he could probably handle the removal of such a thing given time, but the problem was: would Sasuke let him?
Meh, it didn't matter. What did matter was the fact that Sasuke was getting his butt kicked down there! Frowning at this, the young, blonde shinobi couldn't help but want to mock his teammate to see if that would help get his butt in gear, but decided against it. If Sasuke lost this match, that would be on him. Naruto had no interest in helping the spoiled runt of the Uchiha clan get through to the final round.
However, something strange was definitely going on around him. Neither Sakura or Ino were cheering for him as he thought they would. Looking at the both of them, he could see that they were watching the match with anticipation, but they also looked hesitant to cheer him on. Sakura was rubbing the area where Sasuke had hurt her while Ino kept shooting glances over at her pink-haired friend in concern.
Understanding dawned in Naruto's eyes and he nodded his head slowly. It would seem that Sasuke had damaged his relationship with these two and fractured it to a point where their crushes on him might never be the same again. They had begun to question their feelings for him and if they truly wanted to be with a man like him. No, Naruto thought, Sasuke was not a man yet. Sasuke was a spoiled, horrible little boy. He had not yet matured enough to be considered a man in anyone's eyes.
Reaching over, Naruto gently placed his hand upon his teammate's shoulder and watched as she turned to him. After a moment, the blonde wrapped an arm around his friend's waist and pulled her in close to try and comfort her. Sakura leaned her head on Naruto's shoulder and closed her eyes, simply basking in Naruto's warmth and smiling happily in his presence. "Thank you, Naruto." she said quietly, so only he could hear.
"You're welcome Sakura-chan." Naruto said kindly in return. "You're my friend. I'd do anything to help you."
Sakura blushed at this and nodded her head a little as she took in her friend's words. She knew that Naruto didn't mean 'anything' in that sense, but her mind couldn't help but wander. Her friend was a good-looking individual after all, and he was so sweet and caring too. It was hard not to like him. If he wasn't already in a relationship with Haku, she'd give him a kiss right now!
Then again… Sakura thought to herself, maybe they wouldn't mind…? And with that, Sakura turned to her teammate, leaned in, and pressed her lips against his in a chaste kiss. This action caught everyone off guard that was watching them instead of the fight down below. Haku was stunned, Anko was smirking, Kakashi was giggling perversely, and Ino was swooning at how cute they were together. Zabuza on the other hand? He wasn't sure how to feel. Here was his adopted daughter being kissed by another girl! On one hand it was kinda hot, but on the other...well...it was awkward as hell because Naruki was already in a relationship with Haku! Then again, maybe it was an open relationship? Ah, who the heck knows? He sure as hell didn't and he preferred it that way!
Naruki, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed at Sakura as she pulled back, her eyes closed as she had a serene smile on her face. "S-Sakura-chan? W-W-What was that for?" she stammered out, barely able to comprehend that her dear friend and teammate had just freaking kissed her!
Sakura blushed as she looked into her friend's eyes. "You've...been a really great friend to me Naruto-kun. You've done so much for me and...well...after everything that's happened, I just couldn't help myself. And in the forest, after Karin helped me and seeing how she looked at you and everything...I have to admit I was a little...jealous. I know you're with Haku, but...maybe you two would consider...I dunno...sharing…?" she asked, blushing so badly now that her face and neck had turned as red as a tomato!
Naruki couldn't help but nod slowly in understanding. "I...see. I like you Sakura-chan. You're a very good friend and I care about you a lot. Umm...can...I have time to think about this? I'll talk with Haku-kun okay? And...there's something about me that you kinda need to know about before we can even enter a relationship together. It might make you seriously rethink your decision to be with me." the disguised Naruki said as she rubbed the back of her head awkwardly.
Sakura blinked in confusion at this, but slowly nodded her head. "I...see. Umm, I doubt that whatever secret you have is that bad Naruto-kun. But...whatever it is, I'm sure that I'll still like you just the same. After all, haven't you heard the saying? 'The heart wants what the heart wants.'"
Naruki chuckled. "You...have a good point Sakura-chan. Okay, I'll talk with Haku-kun then and we'll see about getting some time alone with Gramps, err...Hokage-sama together so we can talk, okay? Because...my secret is big. I kinda need Gramps' permission before I can tell anyone about my secret. Well...secrets."
Sakura nodded in understanding. She had no idea what kind of secrets could be so big, but she understood what her friend was trying to say. So, she leaned in and pressed her lips against Naruto's once again in another soft kiss before she leaned back and rested her head against his chest, content to just hold him close.
Naruto slowly wrapped his arms around Sakura and looked over to the Sandaime Hokage, Haku, Zabuza, and Yugao, all of which were looking at him with different looks. Some with looks of amusement, others with looks of intrigue or curiosity. Mouthing to the Hokage that they needed to talk later, Naruto was happy when he nodded in understanding and agreed with him that they could arrange for a meeting.
Haku, Zabuza, and Yugao each walked over to join him, and Haku decided to ask a question to Sakura. "So...how long have you been interested in my Naruto-kun, hm?" he asked with amusement, being careful not to reveal Naruki's secret.
Sakura blushed and looked anywhere but at Haku's eyes. "Umm...I'm...not really sure to be honest with you. It just kind of happened at some point along the way. I think the beginning of it started during the Wave mission, but I think what happened in the Forest of Death is when I really began to realize that I was falling for Naruto-kun." she admitted. "Is...is that wrong?"
Haku sighed and shook his head. "No, that's not wrong. I just...wasn't expecting for someone else to fall for him like that. You see, he's already invited Anko into our relationship, so...I was trying to get used to the idea of another person joining us. And now...well...there's you. I was just wondering how it started is all." he explained with another sigh. "I guess I'm really going to have to get used to the idea of sharing my Naruto-kun."
Naruto glomped onto Haku and grinned. "Awww, you'll love it Haku-kun! Just imagine the kinky stuff we can try out!" leaning in close, he began to whisper in Haku's ear. "You know, me riding you while you eat out Anko-chan. The two of us making out while we're riding you. Then there's the sex in the shower, naked aprons so you take us in the kitchen, sex in public places where we run the risk of being caught…"
When Haku fainted from the overload of images, Naruto cackled maniacally and pumped his fist into the air. "Muwahahahahahahahahaaaaa! Naruto strikes again! I have turned my boyfriend into a pile of goop on the floor!" catching everyone in the room off guard, thus allowing Sasuke to deliver a powerful punch to Yoroi Akado's neck, causing the man to stumble backwards, clutching at his throat as he struggled to breathe. When he collapsed, passed out on the ground and Hayate announced Sasuke as the winner, everyone blinked and looked back at the arena floor to see Sasuke collapse as well, unable to stand anymore. "Huh, wonder what took the teme so long to finish that fight?" Naruto asked, unable to understand why he only just now won the fight.
Zabuza sighed and shook his head. "Probably because he's a pathetic little runt." he answered back to his adopted daughter.
Yugao nodded in agreement with her housemate as they watched Sasuke be carried off, though Sasuke snarled at Zabuza in contempt. She couldn't help but giggle as Zabuza merely waved off the Uchiha with a grin on his face.
Kakashi sighed to himself and facepalmed. "I never said he couldn't use ninjutsu or genjutsu. I just said to be careful when using them so he didn't pull on that tainted chakra source. I know how he is, he craves power. He'd use that damn thing in a heartbeat. I swear Sasuke is a damn moron." he grumbled out.
It was at this point that the board revealed the next two combatants. Looking at it curiously, Naruto noticed that he was, again, not chosen. Pouting, she looked at the names revealed before looking down at the arena floor in impatience, waiting for her turn to come up.
Shino Aburame vs. Gaara
Seeing this matchup, Naruto frowned a moment before shouting down at Gaara. "Oh Gaara-kuuuuun!" seeing that he had his new friend's attention, Naruto continued, "I know you're into the whole 'Blooood. Give me your bloooood!' thing, but I wanted to tell you not to go killing my friend down there. Okay? Pretty please don't do anything bad? I'll give you a great, big hug if you don't maim him in any way! You'll be my bestest buddy for liiiiiife! Sound good?! I bet it doooooes." he said giddily.
Gaara blinked in stupefaction at this and slowly nodded, accepting Naruto's 'deal'. It was intriguing in its own way, and, despite everything, he rather enjoyed this strange person's personality. Besides, he was insane in his own way as well, so they kind of balanced each other out in a sense. Looking into Naruto's eyes, the redhead gave him a small, but genuine smile and nodded one more time before turning to face his opponent.
Temari and Kankuro were both stunned. That strange person from before the exams started had just convinced their brother not to maim or kill his opponent for the promise of a hug of all things! Just what the hell was this person?! Baki wasn't faring much better! He was concerned that their secret weapon for the invasion was growing too close to one of Konoha's ninja and likely wouldn't risk severing that bond of his in exchange for attacking the village. Damn it!
The Sandaime Hokage couldn't help it. He started chuckling. It started out small at first, but after a while, it turned into full blown laughter and he had tears flowing down his cheeks. Naruki was just so amusing when she wanted to be. Once he had finally finished, he wiped his face clean of the tears and nodded down at Hayate.
Nodding at the signal, the proctor started the match and leapt back as Shino made the first move, sending out his kikaichu beetles to test Gaara's sand defenses. As expected, Gaara's sand rose up to protect him, easily catching and crushing the kikaichu that got too close, while the others fled back to Shino as per their instructions.
Frowning at this, Shino considered sending them underground to burrow up right underneath Gaara, but he figured that Gaara would be able to defend against that as well most likely. Still, it was worth a try. So, while it looked as if Shino was doing nothing but sending out another swarm of kikaichu to try and probe at Gaara's defenses in the back and sides, he was secretly sending a large swarm underground.
After a time, he withdrew the kikaichu he had sent out above ground and waited as his kikaichu emerged from right underneath Gaara. Eyes widening at this, Gaara could only watch as they began to swarm over him, slowly eating through his sand armor. However, when they began to eat away at his chakra, he flared his bijuu's chakra and watched as the kikaichu collapsed to the ground dead, unable to handle the corrosive nature of said chakra.
Eyes narrowing into a fierce glare, Gaara zoned in on Shino and prepared to crush him regardless of the promise he had made to his friend. However, before he could, his opponent raised his hand and forfeited the match.
"Proctor, I forfeit. I cannot penetrate his defenses by normal means and my kikaichu cannot feed on his chakra. Therefore, it is not wise for me to continue this battle. Gaara-san wins." Shino stated, choosing to withdraw to save his hive more than himself.
Gaara blinked at this and tilted his head in a manner that some of the girls found absolutely adorable, despite how bloodthirsty he looked just a moment ago. Well, Naruki thought he looked adorable regardless of what anyone else would think.
As Gaara was announced the winner of the match, Gaara prepared to walk up to the balcony, but he was surprised when Naruto leaped over the railing and glomped him. "Congrats on winning your match Mr. Huggable Person of Doomie-Woomie! How's it feel to be one step closer to ultimate victory in the Chunin Exams?!" he asked, pulling out a microphone and a recorder from absolutely nowhere.
The redhead blinked again, unable to comprehend what the hell was going on. However, realizing that he had to speak up, he went, "Uhhh...it feels...good? I'm looking forward to facing you in the finals Naruto-san. You are the only worthy opponent for me after all." he said, feeling more confident with every word he spoke.
Naruto blushed and practically swooned on the spot. Squirming a bit where he stood, Naruto slipped the microphone and recorder away before hugging Gaara tight and giggling. "Awww, you're such a sweetie pie. Don't worry, I'll make sure to win my match and we can have that fight you want in the finals. We'll make it a grand fight that everyone is sure to enjoy! And if you reaaaaally want to, I can try to make the sky rain blood for you on that day. I'm not really sure how to make that possible, but I can try. Gotta make your mother happy sometimes after all, right?"
Gaara smiled at his friend and hugged him back. "That sounds...nice. I think I would like that." he said sincerely. Afterwards, they held hands as they walked up to the balcony where everyone gave the two of them a wide berth, clearly wary of the two insane individuals.
After wishing her friend farewell, Naruki watched as he returned to his team before turning to smile at her friends and family. "Well that was fun." she said, grinning afterwards. "So, who's next?" she asked, looking at the board.
Kankuro vs. Misumi Tsurugi
"Awww. Boring!" Naruto whined. "I already know who wins this one." he said before pointing at the guy in the clown suit.
Sakura blinked. "Wait, how do you know that Naruto-kun?"
Naruto shrugged. "I dunno. Just do. I mean, it's pretty obvious. That and this fight's happened like a bunch of times by now." he said.
Kakashi and everyone else around Naruto blinked, unable to comprehend what Naruto was talking about. "Umm, mind explaining that Naruto-kun?"
Sighing, Naruto slumped over against the railing and shrugged. "It happened in the manga and the anime, and it's happened in so many fanfiction, including the author's other fanfictions, it's like there's no darn creativity anymore. I mean, c'mon, there's gotta be other matchups we could go with. Like Kankuro vs. a giant man-eating bunny rabbit that falls through the ceiling and shouts out, "Rawr! I'm gonna eatcha!""
At that moment, Misumi's body began to twist and warp before it exploded and he became a giant tentacled monster that began to thrash around violently, causing everyone in the room to scream in horror. "See? Like that!" Naruto shouted out in glee as she watched Kankuro struggle to fight against the monster.
WARNING! TENTACLE RAPE AHEAD! WARNING!
After a while of struggling, the tentacle monster finally got a hold of Kankuro and ripped his pants off while one of its tentacles began to edge ever closer to its goal. Going pale, Kankuro began to scream in fright. "Oh Kami no! Not that! Anything but that! Oh Kami! Somebody save meeeeeeeeeeee!" he screamed as the tentacle went where the sun don't shine.
Everyone watched in abject horror at what was happening to the poor young man. After a moment, Naruto finally took pity on the poor man, and right before the tentacle beast could 'finish', she pulled out the mighty sword Excalibur and slew the beast with one strike of her blade.
IT'S OVER NOW! SEE? NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF.
Kankuro fell to the ground and curled up in the fetal position, tears flowing down his cheeks uncontrollably. "I can never get married now. I've been...defiled."
Walking over to Kankuro, Naruki knelt down and helped him up onto his knees. Looking down at him, she told him, "Pull your pants up please." Once he had done so, she grinned at him and went through the knighting ceremony just for giggles. "I hereby dub thee, Sir Goofypants the Third! You may rise my funny knight!"
Kankuro looked at Naruto with a horrified look on his face before rising to his feet, gripping his shoulders, and shaking him back and forth like a ragdoll. "I was just tentacle raped and you're treating this like a joke?! The fuck's wrong with you?! Wait, is that the fucking Excalibur?! Where the fuck'd you get Excalibur?!"
Blinking, Naruto looked down at the blade and shrugged his shoulders. "I dunno. I just pulled it out of nowhere and used it to kill the tentacle monster. Kinda like how I got the summoning contract for the snakes. I just do things sometimes and it works out." he said with another shrug of his shoulders.
Kankuro blinked in shock before an idea came to mind. "Think you could make my crush's panty drawer appear?" he asked in a whisper.
Naruto blinked at this and shook his head. "It doesn't work like that. I just pull out random shit at random times. I can't just pull specific things out whenever I want. If I could, I'd probably have a whole mountain of things at home that I've wanted ever since I was just a young kid." he explained.
The Suna Genin frowned at this and nodded his head. "Yeah, I kinda figured as much. Ah well, it was worth a try. Thanks anyways." he said before he began walking off, a noticeable limp in his step due to his 'experience' with the tentacle monster that was once Misumi Tsurugi.
Returning to her team's side, Naruki smiled at them as she sheathed Excalibur. "Well, that was fun. I guess the author listened and decided to really fuck with us after all. I wonder what's next!" she said excitedly.
Yugao said, "I hope it's nothing as frightening as that damn thing. Poor Kankuro."
Sakura Haruno vs. Ino Yamanaka
Naruto sighed and shook her head. "Damn random number generator." she said. "Stupid author." she complained.
Seeing the others around her looking at her in utter confusion, she decided to explain. "The author assigned numbers to the remaining competitors, excluding a select few, and used a Random Number Generator, or RNG for short, to determine the next matchup. And what should happen? Yet another fight we've seen repeated time and time and time again, even in the author's other fanfictions. I suppose he's not entirely to blame this time, but still…"
Kakashi nodded in understanding and shook his head. "I see. Regardless, good luck down there Sakura and do your best. Even if you don't win, just know that I'm proud of you, alright?"
Sakura smiled and nodded her head before rushing down the stairs to get ready for her fight. When Ino arrived moments later, the two of them looked at each other for a moment before smiles broke out on their faces.
"So...Naruto, huh?" Ino said, a small smirk on her face. "Have to say, I didn't see that one coming. Still though, as long as you're happy."
Sakura blushed and fidgeted a bit on the spot. "Y-Yeah. Well, y'know…" the pink-haired girl said with a goofy smile on her face. "He's...sweet. And he's a really great guy. I'm sure if you had ended up on a team with him instead of me, you'd feel the same way I do Ino." Sakura admitted.
Ino giggled a bit at this and nodded her head as her eyes drifted to Naruto. "I'm sure I would." she admitted unashamedly. Turning her gaze back to Sakura, the blonde kunoichi smiled softly at her. "Listen Sakura-chan, let's give this our all okay? No regrets and no holding back. I'm sure we've both trained our butts off since becoming Genin. I know I have. I...I'll admit that it took me a while because of my stupid fangirlism, but I did stop dieting and I did take my training seriously. Before what happened in the Forest of Death, I was still a fangirl over Sasuke. But...now? Now I want to take my career far more seriously than I have. I want to be a serious kunoichi and I want to become as strong as Lady Tsunade, if not stronger someday. So...let's both do our best today okay? I know we might not be as impressive as some of the others here, but…"
Sakura giggled and nodded her head. "I understand Ino-chan. And I feel the same way. I want to surpass Tsunade-sama as well. But for now, we have a match to fight, and we need to first overcome each other. Let the best woman win, right? Whoever wins, let us hold no grudges, alright? We're friends Ino-chan. No more rivalry between us. I...I want us to be best friends again. You're my sister Ino-chan, in all but blood. So...please, can we go back to being friends?" she pleaded desperately.
Ino could feel tears welling up in her eyes at this, and noticed that Sakura had tears in her eyes as well. Wiping her tears away, Ino nodded slowly at her friend. "I'd like that very much Sakura-chan. Now, let's have some fun, okay? Proctor, please start the match." she requested.
Sakura nodded at the proctor as well and, when the proctor called for the match to start, the pinkette quickly threw a couple of shuriken at her friend, which were easily deflected by two shuriken of her own, knocking them out of the sky. The two thirteen year-olds stared into each other's eyes, both gauging the other's abilities and trying to determine what they would do next.
Soon enough, Ino drew a kunai and charged forward, swinging her kunai at Sakura's torso. Sakura quickly drew her own kunai and blocked Ino's attack. They began a fierce duel, swinging, blocking, ducking, and weaving. They moved back and forth, pivoting around each other, and still they hadn't made any headway in their fight.
After a time, they both jumped away from one another and both began to try and plan out their next moves. What should I do? What will she do next? What would Naruto-kun do? They both thought these things and more. Well, Sakura thought the last question at least.
Thinking on it for a time, the pink-haired girl formed a hand seal that was quite familiar to Naruto and took in a deep breath before releasing it slowly. She didn't know how many she'd be able to make, but she was willing to risk it if it meant it would give her a fighting chance. "Shadow Clone Technique!" she cried out.
In an instant, two clones of Sakura appeared in a puff of smoke. After they appeared, Sakura collapsed to her hands and knees, panting in exhaustion. Her clones kneeled down and helped her to her feet, patting her gently on the back. Once she was sure she could stay standing, Sakura glared fiercely at Ino and nodded to her clones. "Let's do this." she said before the three of them charged at Ino.
The blonde was shocked. She hadn't expected for Sakura to use such a technique! Nor did she expect for Sakura to be able to stand after using such a chakra intensive technique! Shooting a quick glance up at Naruto, she understood why her best friend was able to fight on like this. She was doing it to make him proud of her. Smiling softly, Ino looked to her friend and her shadow clones before forming a few hand seals of her own and speaking. "Wind Release: Lashing Whip Technique."
Making a fist with her right hand, a whip of wind formed in her hand and she lashed out with it, making a cracking sound as she hit the first Sakura, causing it to explode in a puff of smoke. Afterwards, the second Sakura reached her and threw a fist at Ino, forcing the blonde to leap backwards to avoid the attack. Reacting quickly, Ino lashed out with the whip again and struck at the other oncoming Sakura, causing that one to explode in a puff of smoke as well.
Looking at the Sakura that had attacked her, Ino smiled and shook her head. "You look like you're on your last legs Sakura-chan. Why don't you just forfeit? It's okay. You fought your best." she said sadly, honestly sorry for her friend.
Sakura stubbornly shook her head. "No Ino. I want to prove that I have what it takes to be an excellent kunoichi. I can't do that if I give up now." the pinkette said with a scowl on her face. Forming a few hand seals of her own, she slammed her hands to the ground and called out, "Earth Release: Binding Hands Technique!" she shouted out.
Ino blinked at the name of this technique before she felt a bunch of hands shoot out of the ground underneath her, gripping onto her legs, arms, and wherever else they could reach on her body. They were clearly meant to hold her down so she couldn't escape. However, it was painfully obvious that Sakura was on her last legs now after using this technique.
Looking down at her hands, Ino realized that she had just enough freedom to move her hands together. She struggled against her bindings and formed a hand seal. Quietly, she said, "Mind Body Switch Technique." and let her consciousness travel across into Sakura's mind.
Sakura's Mindscape
Ino looked around in confusion as she appeared in Sakura's mindscape. This...this was not what she was expecting when she entered Sakura's mind. It was a black void for crying out loud! Normally a person's mindscape would have some kind of form that you could traverse so you could investigate their memories, examine their thought processes, or even take control of them if you so chose to. But this? This was beyond what she had expected.
It was at this point that another person appeared before her. It was Sakura, and yet not Sakura at the same time. This Sakura had pure white hair with yellows eyes and she was staring at Ino with a bemused grin on her face. With a snap of her fingers, a desk and two chairs appeared, one for Not-Sakura and one for Ino. Taking a seat, Not-Sakura motioned for Ino to do the same.
Doing so, Ino decided to ask the obvious question, "W-Who are you? What's going on here?" Well, questions to be more appropriate.
Not-Sakura smiled a bit wider and nodded her head in understanding. "I suppose it would be best to start at the beginning, wouldn't it? I am Sakura, and yet I am not Sakura, as you have already deduced. You see, when she was younger, she developed a certain mental disorder known as Dissociative Identity Disorder, otherwise, or more commonly known as…" Not-Sakura supplied…
Ino's eyes widened in understanding immediately and took the opening Not-Sakura gave to reply, "Multiple Personality Disorder."
Not-Sakura smiled and clapped her hands once. "Exactly. The reason for this is simple. Sakura was always a shy girl growing up and was oftentimes teased for her big forehead. She was soft-spoken and therefore tended to bottle up the things she really wanted to say. Over time, this gave rise to another personality: me." Not-Sakura explained. "I have never taken charge of our shared body however, but she does hear my voice in her head, pushing her to be a better person and be more outspoken. However, recent events are causing her to lose her confidence in herself that I have helped build up in her over the years since I was given form. I may need to start taking charge here soon. She will need help in boosting her confidence from her friends soon. Naruto helps with that tremendously, but he is only one person among thousands that degrade her, considering her weak and useless. I try to boost her confidence, but again, I am only a small part of her. Be there for her Ino-chan. I think that if the two of you take the time to work together to grow stronger as a duo, it will help boost her confidence greatly. Don't you?"
Ino smiled at the Not-Sakura and nodded her head, before a thought came to her mind. "I have a quick question for you. What do I call you? I can't keep calling you Not-Sakura."
The white-haired girl giggled a bit and nodded her head. "I have been given the name Sumiko by Sakura-chan. You may call me that if you'd like."
Ino smiled and tested the name on her tongue. "Sumiko. That's a pretty name. I like it." she said, a sincere smile on her face. "Well Sumiko-chan, can you please convince Sakura-chan to forfeit the match? She's on her last legs as it is, and she's running dangerously low on chakra. If she pushes herself anymore, she could seriously hurt herself. I'm worried for her."
Sumiko frowned at this and nodded sadly. "It will hurt her to have to do so, but you are right. Sakura can no longer continue this battle. You have my word that I will convince her to forfeit the fight. It was nice talking with you Ino-chan." the yellow-eyed girl said before watching as Ino left Sakura's mind.
Outside - Back in the Arena
Sakura wobbled a bit before looking straight at Ino, whom she still had trapped in the earthen hands. Ino was looking at her with a pleading expression on her face to just give up the fight. Breathing heavily, Sakura was about to continue forward, but she paused as she heard Sumiko's voice in her head. What she was saying to her didn't make much sense at first, but eventually she sighed and reluctantly nodded her head. "Proctor...I forfeit. I can barely move, I'm running dangerously low on chakra, and I'm just in no shape to continue fighting. Can you please free Ino-chan for me? I think I need to pass out now." she said before her eyes closed and she began to fall forward.
Naruto was quick to catch her before she could hit the floor though. Smiling down at her, he gently ran his hands through her hair and grinned. "You fought well Sakura-chan. Good job." he said before hopping back up to where his sensei was, placing Sakura down against the wall so she could rest peacefully.
Zabuza looked at Kakashi and smiled. "Your student fought well, all things considered. You should be proud of her." he complimented.
Kakashi eye-smiled and nodded his head in thanks. "I am. And Ino, congratulations on your victory." he said to her as Ino walked by.
Ino blushed a bit and nodded back to them. "Thank you." she said simply before stopping to stare at Naruto. "Take care of her, okay Naruto?"
Nodding once, Naruto grinned at Ino and offered her a thumbs up. "You got it. She's in good hands, I promise."
Nodding in acceptance of this, the blonde Yamanaka returned to her team and celebrated her victory with them in a quiet cheer before they all waited for the next two combatants to be selected.
Tenten vs. Temari
Naruto grumbled and glared at the author at this point. "I'm starting to hate you and your shitty luck when it comes to that RNG." she complained.
Zabuza sighed and looked at Naruto with a frown. "Lemme guess, this is a fight that's happened millions of times and so the author tried the Random Number Generator again to see if he could change it, only for the damn thing to end up with the same exact fight again?"
Naruto nodded. "Precisely. Ah well, might as well just watch the show. Maybe the author will find a way to make things interesting this time."
As the fight got underway, Tenten decided to make the first move by unfurling a scroll and sending her chakra through it to send a bunch of her weapons flying at Temari. However, Temari countered this with her wind technique utilized via her fan.
Naruto sighed and looked at the author. "Seriously? The same old shit again? You aren't being creative with this one at all?" he asked in disbelief.
Kakashi quirked his eyebrow and looked to Naruto. "Oh? Well, who wins this one Naruto-kun?"
Naruto sighed and looked back at his sensei. "Temari wins it easily. Tenten can't do shit to her, sadly. She tries, believe me she tries, but it's just not enough."
Tenten, fed up with none of her techniques working, decided to unleash her ultimate technique. However, when she jumped up into the air and began to summon forth what she thought were her weapons, what came out was a bunch of strange red and white balls instead. Blinking at this, she watched as they all hit the ground and began to pop open.
Coming out were a bunch of strange creatures. Some of them were fish that flopped around on the arena floor uselessly, unable to help her in any way. Another looked like a grey rhinoceros with a single horn on its head. Two more looked like giant green, praying mantises. There was also a bunch of different kinds of creatures that looked to be from the same family of whatever the hell these things were, only of different elements. One looked like a yellow, spiky dog-like creature with a white, fluffy mane of sorts. Another was all red/orange with a white mane around its neck. Yet another was blue with a fin-like tail!
All-in-all, there were dozens of these creatures flooding the room now and it had suddenly become far, far too crowded for the arena. Naruto looked at the author again with a deadpan stare. "Really? Pokemon? You're kidding, right?"
'Hey, you're the one griping about things not being interesting enough! I decided to fuck with the laws of reality and here ya go! Things got interesting! Now shut up and deal with it!' the author replied, thus further breaking the fourth wall.
Back in the arena, Tenten blinked and simply pointed towards Temari. "Umm...okay. If you whatchamacallits can understand me, then attack her!"
The fish Pokemon just continued to flap around uselessly while the others looked at her in confusion. Naruto, feeling sorry for her, threw a cheat sheet down to help her. "Use that! That will tell you all you need to know about the Pokemon around you!"
When the proctor looked about ready to disqualify Tenten for the outside help, Naruto glared at him and pointed at the Pokemon. "Would you understand these things without a little outside help? No? Didn't think so. You disqualify her, you'd have to disqualify yourself under the same conditions. Think about that Mr. Coughs-Mc-Coughs-a-Lot!"
Yugao looked a little upset by this, but Hayate nodded in understanding, easily shrugging off the nickname the thirteen year-old crazy person had used. He had been called much worse before, after all.
Tenten looked at the cheat sheet in her hands and nodded. "Alright...Vaporeon, use Water Pulse!" she shouted out, a giddy look on her face.
"Va Vaporeon!" Vaporeon shouted out before unleashing its Water Pulse attack on Temari who had to quickly leap out of the way, only for Tenten to give a command to Rhyhorn to use Take Down. When Temari landed, she screamed out in shock and pain as the rhinoceros-like Pokemon slammed into her in a full body tackle and sent her crashing into the wall of the arena.
Collapsing to the ground, the blond Suna kunoichi tried to struggle to her feet, but she just couldn't do it. Raising her hand feebly, Temari called out to the proctor, "Proctor...I forfeit. This is insane!"
Nodding in agreement, Hayate called the match in favor of Tenten and watched as all of the Pokemon re-entered their pokeballs before mysteriously, they all disappeared. Tenten let out an, "Awww." sound before she shrugged her shoulders and grinned up at Naruto. "Y'know, you gotta thank that Author person you keep talking about for me. That was cool!"
Naruto shrugged his shoulders and chuckled. "He already knows, believe me."
Shrugging it off, Tenten returned to her team and watched the board to see who the next fighters would be.
Shikamaru Nara vs. Rock Lee
Lee whooped and hollered, happy as can be about his turn finally coming up. Leaping over the railing, he waited somewhat impatiently for his opponent to make his way down into the arena.
Shikamaru, on the other hand, sighed and realized that this opponent was probably going to kick his ass bad. Naturally lazy vs. overly abundant energy reserves? Yeah, it was obvious who was going to win this one. At least, that's how Shikamaru was viewing it right now. Still, he made his way down into the arena and stood across from his opponent, eyeing him up and down for a moment, kind of wishing he hadn't afterwards as that green spandex was a huge eyesore.
Hayate was about to start the match, but then the strangest thing happened. Out of nowhere, a weird animal-person showed up in a puff of smoke carrying a bag of turnips on its back. "Turnips! Turnips for sale! Get yer turnips here! Turnips!" it began shouting out as it walked around the arena with its eyes wide open, star-like slits in its eyes, and a happy grin on its face.
Naruto grinned and leapt over the railing before rushing up to the animal-person and presenting it with a bunch of coins. "I'll take a whole bushel of 'em! So give 'em here Joan!" Naruto declared, happily exchanging the coins for a huge bag full of white turnips from the boar-like animal-person who was now revealed to be named Joan.
"Pleasure doin' business with ya!" Joan exclaimed joyfully. "Anyone else interested in buyin' some of these here turnips? They're mighty fresh and taste darn good in stews. And the greens are miiiiighty tasty. Yummy yummy!" she said, trying to entice the populace around her into purchasing some of her turnips.
The Sandaime Hokage rose from where he was sitting and hopped down to Joan. Looking at her seriously for a moment, he soon lost his serious look and whipped out his wallet before producing some cash. "I'll take some as well, thank you." he said, causing many in the room to facefault. They had expected their Hokage to question the existence of this strange creature, not accept it like this was a normal occurrence!
Soon enough, the others started accepting this as well and the boar known as Joan began to get a lot of business, selling off her entire stock of turnips, much to her pleasure. Bidding them all a good day, she soon vanished in another puff of smoke, leaving everyone to return to their previous positions while Hayate, Shikamaru, and Lee all stood there dumbfounded, but holding their own turnips with smiles on their faces. "Well...that was...interesting." Hayate said. "Anyways, you're free to begin the fight when ready." he said before he looked to his girlfriend. They'd definitely be making good use of these turnips later. He wondered what kind of meal they'd be best used in.
Lee bounced up and down in his spot, giddy that he got some turnips, but even happier that he finally got to fight! So, before Shikamaru could even register that the fight had begun, he charged forward and landed a devastating kick to his opponent's face, sending him flying into the wall. Afterwards, the Nara heir groaned as he fell to the ground in a heap, slowly pushing himself to his feet. "Why?" he groaned out. "Why am I standing again? I don't understand. Why wasn't I allowed to just fall unconscious?"
Naruto grinned and shouted down at him, "Because the author decided that one hit wouldn't be enough to take you out. Your mother's frying pan has built up your endurance for pain after all."
Shikamaru deadpanned at this and flipped the author off. "Well then, fuck you, you troublesome bastard. I'm not going to put up with this shit." Raising up his hand, the Nara heir looked to the proctor and said, "I…" before he could say the word, 'forfeit', Shikamaru's mouth sealed itself closed with a zipper and a padlock and he began to furiously struggle with it. Oh fuck you! You rotten bastard of an author! No no no no no!
Naruto frowned at this and shook his head. "Yep. I could've told you that would happen. You don't go screwing with the author like that Shika. You're in for it now. I hope you're prepared for a beating, 'cause it looks like Bushy Brows is gonna give you one."
True to Naruto's word, Lee began to beat on poor Shikamaru, and poor Shikamaru stayed awake through it all, much to his consternation and horror. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he pleaded with Kami to make it stop. However, try as he might, this was the author's story and therefore, it was the author's rules. And as much as he loved Shikamaru, he had to learn his lesson.
What fucking lesson?! Shikamaru shouted out in his mind. There's a lesson?! All I've learned is that the author's capable of making crazy shit happen at random times, I can take an insane amount of pain and stay conscious through it all, Lee's a hyperactive nutcase, and...oh Kami, I'm sorry Author, just make it stop okay?!
And with that, Shikamaru's padlock and zipper on his mouth disappeared and he finally got to scream out the magic words, "I forfeit!" at the top of his lungs, causing Hayate to declare Lee the winner of the match. Breathing a sigh of relief at this, Shikamaru collapsed on his rear end and laid back on the ground, allowing the medics to come and carry him away. "So. Much. Pain." he groaned out as they took him away.
Naruto chuckled lightly. "Maybe that'll teach him not to badmouth the author anymore."
Zabuza quirked a brow and looked at Naruto. "Oh? You've been bashing on him this entire time. How come he hasn't done anything to you?"
Naruto shrugged his shoulders and looked Zabuza in the eyes. "I'm immune to his wrath. We're both really random people, so we get along pretty well. Plus, he knows I don't mean anything by it. Right Mr. Author?"
'Suuuure. I do my best to write these stories and here she is badmouthing me every step of the way. Real nice Naruki. Real nice.'
"See? He's fiiiiiiine." Naruto said with a grin.
Zabuza quirked his brow and looked between Naruto and the author, unsure what to make of their interaction. Deciding to just ignore it for now, he looked to the board and raised his brow further at what he saw. "Well, it looks like you're finally up. Go knock 'em dead kid." he said with a smile.
Looking over at the board, Naruto smiled wide and quickly hopped down into the arena where Kiba, his opponent, was already waiting. Looking at Akamaru, Naruto decided to do something real quick before the fight could get underway. "Hiiii Akamaru. Hold on a moment okay? I've got something to show ya real quick."
Quickly using the Sexy Technique and then the Transformation Technique to further alter her appearance, Naruki now had long, wavy brown hair that reached down to her buttocks, light red eyes, full, pouty lips, and she stood at a height of five feet and four inches tall. She looked to be in her mid-to-late twenties and she was carrying a basket on her arm.
Akamaru immediately barked in recognition and rushed over to Naruki, wagging his tail in excitement as he barked a few more times at her. Kneeling down, Naruki began to pet Akamaru and smiled at him happily. "I'm glad you recognize me in this form Akamaru. Remember all those healthy treats I make for you? Wellll...here's the deal. If you help Kiba fight me, I'll stop giving you those treats. Understand? If you want to keep getting those treats from me, you have to stay out of this fight and let Kiba and me duke it out one-on-one. Okay Akamaru?" she asked sweetly.
Kiba went wide-eyed at this and quickly shouted out, "Akamaru! Don't listen to him buddy! He's only trying to trick you!" When Akamaru barked back at him, Kiba blinked in shock. "What do you mean he's been giving you treats for years?! They can't possibly be good for you!" When he received a couple more barks in response, Kiba's eyes widened. "Hana-nee approves of them?! What the fuck?! Umm...damn. They're really that good for you huh?" Receiving a couple more barks in return, Kiba slumped over and nodded a few times in acceptance. "Alright buddy, it's okay. You can sit this one out, I understand." he said, getting a happy bark in response from Akamaru, who returned to join Team 8 up above.
Naruki looked at Kiba and rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Sorry about that Kiba. I kinda just want this to be a one-on-one fight between us. Know what I mean?"
The thirteen year-old Inuzuka teen nodded his head in understanding. "Yeah, I getcha. Let's just get this fight underway then. Proctor, we're ready now." he said, more than ready to get the fight started.
Hayate nodded and shouted for the match to begin before leaping away. As soon as he did, Kiba charged forward and threw a punch towards Naruto, who easily blocked it and countered with a fierce kick to Kiba's side. Kiba barely blocked this retaliatory kick and winced at the strength behind the blow.
Deciding to make a tactical retreat for now, Kiba leapt backwards and looked over his opponent. He figured fighting Naruto would be easy, but with strength like that? There was no way this fight was going to be an easy one. With a reluctant sigh, Kiba decided he should take Naruto a bit more seriously and whipped out a food pill, chomping down on it before swallowing the thing. Feeling his chaka spiking, the Inuzuka teenager crouched down and muttered, "Four Legs Technique."
Naruto watched as Kiba's nails extended into claws, his canines extended, his pupils narrowed into slits, and more. Frowning at this, Naruto tilted his head and waved his hand in a so-so gesture. "If you're going for the beast boy look, you've got it down pat. But it's really not all that attractive. You're more likely to scare the girls off this way than you are to attract 'em. Just sayin' Kiba."
Kiba facefaulted at this before jumping up and pointing a clawed finger at Naruto. "Would you take this seriously damn it?! We're in the middle of a fight here and you're making jokes about my appearance?!" It was then that what Naruto said really hit Kiba. "Wait! How could you possibly know what girls would want in a guy?!"
Naruto sighed and shook his head. "I just do, okay? Now drop it and let's get back to the fight."
Meanwhile, Zabuza, Haku, Yugao, and the Sandaime Hokage all chuckled to themselves, the only ones privy to the secret of Naruto's true gender and why she would say such a thing to Kiba. The others around the four of them were confused about the inside joke they all shared, but nobody said anything.
Down in the arena, Kiba got fed up with Naruto's nonchalant attitude and vanished in a burst of speed, quickly appearing behind Naruto and swinging his clawed hands at the back of Naruto's neck. Sensing this beforehand, the blonde quickly leapt forward to avoid the attack. However…
"What the heck is this?" Kiba asked, looking at the strange piece of jewelry that was now dangling from one of his claws. "Naruto, since when did you wear…?" Looking up, Kiba went wide-eyed as he got a good look at Naruto, or at least what used to be Naruto.
Naruki stood in the center of the arena, her true gender revealed for all to see, after all this time of hiding it. Her long, golden hair was out of its pigtails and currently flowed down to just below her luscious rear end. The thirteen year-old girl had beautiful blue eyes and three whisker marks on both sides of her cheeks, just as she did in her disguise. Unlike her male disguise, however, she wasn't wearing that orange monstrosity. No, Naruki was wearing the fishnet bodysuit that Anko had gotten for her with a red jacket over that with black flames emblazoned on it. It was currently unzipped, allowing a generous portion of her breasts to be seen. From what everyone could see, they were a healthy C-cup, which was a good size for her age. For pants, she wore dark grey, almost black track pants with a yellow stripe going up and down the sides. Finally, to top it all off, she had blue ninja sandals on her feet.
Sighing in resignation, Naruki looked to her Gramps with a frown. "Well Gramps...looks like the secret's out now. I'm sorry." she said sadly.
Sarutobi sighed as well and shook his head. "It's not your fault Naruki-chan. I never expected for something like this to happen. The seals on it to keep it in place have held all your life, it's only expected that they would wear down over time to the point that an attack from someone would be enough to rip the necklace free, I suppose."
Sakura, who had woken up during Shikamaru's match, stared in dumbfounded shock at her teammate before a furious blush erupted on her cheeks. "Y-You mean…? I kissed a girl?! And I liked it?!" she shouted out. When Naruki looked her way and quirked a brow in curiosity, Sakura shrunk down and blushed even more. "S-Sorry Naruto-kun. Err...actually, Hokage-sama called you Naruki. Is that your real name then?"
Naruki sighed and nodded her head. "Yes. My real name is Naruki Uzumaki. And yes, I am, in fact, a girl just like you, Ino, Hinata, Kurenai, etc. And yes, Haku-kun has known about me being a girl all this time. So has Zabuza, so has Yugao onee-chan and Gramps, a.k.a. Hokage-sama. They're the only ones that have known this entire time. It's been one huge secret, and now it's out. So Sakura, do you still want to be with me, even knowing what I am?" Naruki asked with a raised brow.
Sakura looked at Naruki, her newly revealed female teammate in stunned shock for a moment before donning a small smile. After taking a moment to think on it, she realized that she really didn't care one way or another. Naruki was still the same person she had feelings for. Sure she might not be able to give her children someday, but they could find ways around that somehow. So, with a nod of her head, Sakura smiled softly at her friend and gave her a wink. "Of course I do Naruki-chan. I don't care what you are. Boy or girl, you're still the one I want to be with."
Blinking in shock at this, obviously having suspected that Sakura would have refused to be with her, Naruki soon started blushing until she was red as a tomato from the neck up. Glancing away, she scratched at the tip of her nose and giggled somewhat shyly. "W-Well...okay then. We'll...have to talk with Haku-kun and Anko-chan then." she said.
Sakura giggled at this before turning to Haku and grinning. "I'm expecting you to let me in on this relationship Buster." Leaning in close, Sakura slid her hand up and down Haku's chest teasingly before whispering in his ear. "Besides, Naruki's too much woman for just one of us to handle. Riiiight Haku-kun?" she said teasingly.
Haku blushed and nodded slowly. "R-Right Sakura-ch...Sakura. As you say." he stammered out, unused to such a gesture from Naruki's teammate. She was being rather…bold today. Part of him enjoyed it while the other part blamed his girlfriend for this.
Zabuza couldn't help but bark out a laugh as he made a whipping motion with his hand as well as adding in the sound effect. "And he's whipped." he said, chuckling even more.
Yugao stared at Zabuza in a deadpan as she pulled a frying pan out of absolutely nowhere and smacked Zabuza upside the head with it. "I seem to recall you being whipped as well when I order you to do something at the house Zabuza-chan. Don't you go teasing Haku-chan about being whipped when you, yourself, are whipped as well."
Down in the arena, Hayate couldn't help but sweatdrop at his girlfriend's behavior when around her houseguest. Why the Hokage had made them start living together, he would never understand. Still, so long as she was having fun, he was happy for her. That and they had mind-blowing sex in her room, which was next to Zabuza's, just to scar the poor bastard because Zabuza didn't have any silencing seals set up. At least, he didn't until the day he literally got down on his hands and knees before the Hokage to put some silencing seals in the rooms of his house so that he could get some sleep. After that, they had stopped tormenting poor Zabuza. Still though, the sex was awesome.
Everyone was brought back to reality when Kiba asked, "So this is why you smelled like perfume? I was wondering about that. What kind of guy would wear perfume?" he asked, clearly unable to fathom an answer to such a question. "And...wait...what the hell did you mean no girl would find me attractive?!"
Sighing to herself, Naruki looked Kiba dead in the eyes and said in a bored tone, "Yes Kiba, that is why I smelled like perfume. I like how certain scents of perfume smell. I can't help it. I also like certain colors of nail polish, but I can't decide on what color I want to do my nails in. I was thinking about asking Kurenai when I finally got the chance to reveal my true gender because she's got great fashion sense. Then again, Ino's another good choice. Hmm, decisions, decisions."
Kiba growled at this before barking out, "That's not important right now! Get to the girls part!" he shouted, growing impatient with Naruki and her rambling.
Flipping Kiba off for interrupting her, the blonde Uzumaki released a sigh and shook her head. "Look Kiba, I'm a girl and I don't find you attractive. Okay? You're my friend, or at least I think of you as one. Not sure if you feel the same towards me or not, but that's not important. But anyways, as your friend, I'm going to let you know a few things that we women do not find attractive in a male."
Sighing, she looked at Kiba before giving him a once over. "First off, your fashion sense could use a little work. It's a bit...repugnant. But it's not bad overall. Second, you stink. You need to bathe or take a shower more often. Third, you need to work on your attitude a bit. You can come off as an overconfident, brash, stupid jerk sometimes and, while some might find that attractive in a guy, others don't. Finally, I know that your mom and sister have had to beat this lesson into you, you need to respect women. You're still learning that part, but once you've got that down pat, you'll be better off for it, believe me."
Kiba blinked, unsure how to take the 'advice' he was just given. After a moment, he decided to just come right out and ask, "Okay, then can you answer me this one question? Why do so many girls fall all over themselves trying to get into Sasuke's pants?"
Naruki sighed and facepalmed. "Because they're idiots that are a disgrace to women everywhere. That's why." she said, getting murmurs of agreement from all the women in the room, excluding Sakura and Ino, who just looked down in shame. "In all seriousness...I'm not entirely sure Kiba. Women are hard to understand, even for those of us that are women. Just like men are hard for us women to understand sometimes and vice versa. If you asked the fangirls, they'd tell you that they wanted to cure his wounded heart and help him to restore his lost clan. But in truth, a lot of them just wanted Sasuke as a trophy husband. The last of the Uchiha clan in Konohagakure would make for a wonderful trophy husband to show off to people. Kind of a big 'Fuck you, look at what I've got and you don't!' to people. They didn't care about Sasuke as a person, he was more of an object to them. Oh sure, they'd gladly spread their legs for him and help him restore his clan, but it was more about them than anything. So yeah...girls are complicated Kiba. 'Nuff said."
Kiba nodded slowly as he processed what all he had just been told. "I...see. Man, that's kinda deep." he said. "Not sure whether to envy the bastard or pity him now."
Naruki giggled and shook her head. "Up to you Kiba. Either/or, it doesn't really matter. All I know is I don't give a damn about Sasuke, so pitying him for all of that just isn't in me." she said with a shrug. "Though I have to say, nailing him with my Crotch-Seeker sure was fun!" the blonde said with a grin.
Kiba's eyes went wide and he took a step back in fear. "C-C-Crotch-Seeker?! What the fuck man?! You have an attack called the Crotch-Seeker?!"
Naruki grinned devilishly and held up her fist. "Hell yeah I do! Wanna see it in action Kiba? I promise you'll just love it."
Kiba looked to the proctor immediately and shouted out, "Fuck no! Fuck this shit! Proctor, I forfiIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" he screamed out as, at the very moment he tried to say he forfeited, Naruki nailed him in the crotch with her patented Crotch-Seeker, laughing maniacally the entire time.
All the men in the audience immediately cringed and their hands shot to their privates in shared agony for their fellow man. The women in the audience grinned, however, at the sheer power such an attack held. This attack could clearly make any man think twice about fucking with a woman again and many of them were thinking about learning this very technique for themselves. As one, the men began to shiver in horror without realizing why. They just knew that something terrible was happening and they could do nothing to stop it.
Hayate, taking pity on poor Kiba, looked to Naruki and pointed his hand towards her. "The w-winner of the match is N-Naruki Uzumaki. Medics, hurry! I think his balls shot up into his throat! If you hurry, you might be able to save one of them!" he shouted out as the medics rushed into the room to carry Kiba away in an effort to save his manhood.
Meanwhile, Naruki looked to the proctor and waved her fist threateningly at him. "You took away my fun Mr. Proctor-man. If you weren't Yugao onee-chan's boyfriend, I'd slug ya." she said before she smiled sweetly at him and began to skip away and up the stairs to her team.
Once she had rejoined her team, Naruki glomped onto Haku and gave him a passionate kiss, holding onto him tightly the entire time. Once they were finished with the kiss, she leaned back and winked at him. "I can do that more often now that my true gender's been revealed. Yay for cookies!" she exclaimed excitedly.
Haku was about to ask, but he decided against it. Instead, he watched as Sakura took Naruki by the shoulder, turned her to face her, and leaned in to press her lips to Naruki's own. Smirking a bit, he watched as the two of them kissed for a while. Somehow, he found this sight strangely erotic and was having a hard time keeping a certain piece of his anatomy down.
Zabuza, noticing how uncomfortable his son was feeling, patted Naruki on the head and smiled at her and Sakura. "Alright, that's enough you two. Break it up." Once they had separated, he nodded towards the board. "The next match has been chosen. Let's get back to watching already."
"Yes sir Mr. Popsicle sir!" Naruki shouted out with a salute.
Kakashi blinked and looked between Zabuza and Naruki curiously. "Popsicle? Why is she calling you Popsicle?"
Zabuza sighed and shook his head. "Hell if I know Kakashi. She's random as random could possibly be. I've learned to just go along with whatever she says. It's easier that way."
Nodding his head in understanding, Kakashi looked to Naruki and eye-smiled at her. "So, a girl huh? How come I never knew about this?"
Naruki rubbed the back of her head and glanced away. "Uhhh...it was kind of on a need-to-know basis. Gramps didn't feel you needed to know Kakashi-sensei. So...sorry?"
Kakashi shook his head and smiled at his student. "It's fine. It's fine. Anyways, Zabuza's right, the next match is just about to start. Let's watch."
Neji Hyuga vs. Hinata Hyuga
"Well shit." Naruki said as she saw the two down in the arena. "This can't end good."
A/N - Well, that's the chapter. Hopefully you all enjoyed it. As you can see, it was random as hell and plenty of fourth wall breakage was involved as well throughout the chapter. I had fun writing it, and yes, I admit, I used the RNG to decide some of the matches. The Sound team didn't make it through, so I was kinda just fucking around to see who I could pair against whom. It worked out in some interesting ways.
Anyways, as you can see, Naruki's true gender has been revealed. Sorry if you were hoping for something more dramatic or something, but them's the breaks. Also, yeah, I'm a guy. Sorry if I don't write a girl very well. *sweatdrops* I try okay? I really try! Naruki's random as hell! She's like me in that sense! We're both really random people! I say tomato and she says sunshine rainbows of doom go flying in sunshine doomie woomie head brain brain BOOM! See? There, we said it!
Naruki: What Grax is trying to say is that I'm his special little angel and he loves writing me. If any of you have a problem with how he portrays me in his story, you can stick it where the sun don't shine! Like Kankuro's special little friend did. Right Grax?
*facepalms* Naruki...that's not exactly what I was trying to say. But...thank you for trying. *pats Naruki on the head* She tries, she really does. *pulls hand away before it can get bitten* Anyways, like I was trying to say, Naruki's fun to write, and I hope you all enjoy her as much as I do. I do the best I can with this story and it's bound to be one of the most random stories you'll end up reading on this site. So...stick around and enjoy it while you can! lol
Anyways, no idea what story I'll update next, as usual, sooo...yeah?
