CH 23

DECISIVE FINAL, TAKERU'S ARMORED DETERMINATION

Every single man, woman, shinobi and high ranking official in the Chunin Exam Arena waited on baited breath for the smoke to clear. Both Sasuke's and Naruto's friends looked on waiting to see who would emerge from the large dust cloud.

"I can't see anything Kiba can you" Choji asked squinting his eyes even more (if that was even possible)

Kiba scoffed "No I can't see anything either damn it"

"What the hell kinda of jutsu's were those" Ino asked

"I know they were amazing their chakra was visible how's that even possible..." Sakura wondered as she looked to see who would emerge from the dust cloud first "...and what was that weird noise coming from Sasuke's attack"

"Its a jab..."

"A what?" the four asked as they turned to Gai so he could finish

"...but this jab is a jab like no other." Gai sightly turned his eyes to Kakashi behind him "It's the only weapon is Kakashi's arsenal that he didn't copy from someone else, it's the weapon of choice for assassinations..." Gai finished wrapping up his explantion "...it is this that give the technique its name Chidori One Thousand Birds also known as Lightning Blade because Kakashi once used it to cut a lightning bolt in half before it touched the ground not a jutsu to be taught lightly"

"You're one to talk..." Kakashi bent down to talk to Lee "...isn't that right Lee"

"Wow that's awesome...but what about Naruto's jutsu" Choji asked

"Hmmm to put it simply the jutsu that Naruto used was one of the 4th Hokages signature jutsu's..." Kakashi stated

"WHAT!" the four once again yelled out

"Yondaime-sama created a jutsu called the Rasengan which condenses a large amount of chakra into a sphere. The compacted nature and moving speed of the chakra allows the Rasengan to grind into whatever it comes in contact with to inflict major damage. The Yondaime's plan was to take the shape transformation of one's chakra to the "highest possible point" and then combine it with his chakra's nature affinity, creating a technique that did not need the aid of time-consuming hand seals to control. Although he died before he could carry out the latter feat, on shape transformation alone, the Rasengan is still a powerful, versatile, and difficult technique to learn and master."

This left the four genin speechless. 'Can you see him Minato-sensei he's more like you each day' Kakashi thought to himself

The smoke began to clear. "Look I can barely make them out." Kiba yelled out

Everyone looked on as the two fighting genin finally came into view, and what they saw was a sight to behold. Sparks of Lightning striking the ground, barely visble blades wind leaving shallow cuts in the ground surrounding them. The two jutsus and jutsu users were in a power struggle neither willing to give an inch, the intense look on each of their faces a testment to that point. The crowd started cheering at the excitement.

Competitors Area

All the leaf genin were speechless until Shikamaru spoke up.

"Geez so troublesome I give up these two would kill me if I fought them" he sighed

"What kind of training did that old pervert put you through Naruto-kun" Takeru asked no one in particular

Hinata looked on with a smile and a look of pride on her face. 'Both of them have gotten so strong Sasuke-san...Naruto-kun you both inspired me to get even stronger'

Arena

The jutsu's still clashed as the two boys stood in the small crater created when they clashed.

"It seems Kakashi taught you how to change the size and power of your jutsu" Naruto gritted out

Sasuke smirked "You as well...what do you say we end this...NARUTO!"

"SASUKE!"

Pumping more chakra into their respective attacks which in turn increases the size and power of the justus. The result causes a massive explosion and knocks both genin a large distance into the walls behind them slamming them hard.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura yelled out

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata and Takeru cried out

The crowd then went silent as they waited for one of the two boys to get up if any. Many of them gasped as both the Uzumaki and Uchiha slowly staggered to their feet, dojutsu's deactivated. Naruto was holding his rib cage he was sure at least one was broken while Sasuke was holding his shoulder in pain.

Stands

"Unreal how are they able to keep going" Choji wonder not even eating a chip or anything he was to into the fight

Hokage Area

"These two certainly have the potential to make chunin maybe even jonin wouldn't you agree Kazekage-sama" Hiruzen asked nodding to the advisor jonin on his right side

The 'Kazekage' nodded his head "Indeed"...'Excellence the Uchiha boy's power continues to increase'

Arena

Both boys stood unmoved just intently staring at each other. Suddenly at the same time they both begin to step and soon in sync both were running toward each other intent on finishing this.

Everyone watched on waiting to see the end of such an amazing and entertaining fight.

Both boys cocked back a fist and then met in the middle of the field where they just were and with a loud resounding CRACK the match was over. Naruto's fist colided with Sasuke's jaw as did Sasuke's fist meet with Naruto's both boys fell back knocked out cold. Genma shunshined down to the arena and began the count and soon he called 10.

"Both Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke are unable to continue their match therefore this match is a draw"

There were then many different sound going on throughout the stands, many curses at the loss of bets but the majority was a loud cheer at the pure amazingness (I know not a word roll with it) this fight produced.

Stands

"Wow...that was awesome" Choji stated

Kiba nodded his head in agreement "Damn it I'm going to have to train harder so I'm not left behind"

Sakura sighed then smiled looking on as the medics came out to grab the two knocked out boys.

Gai looked back to Kakashi and the two nodded as Kakashi disappeared in a shunshin.

Competitors Area

"If their not made Chunin after that display of power I don't know what its gonna take." Takeru said to which Shikamaru and Shino nodded

Hinata simply nodded and smiled she then began to walk off towards the stairs.

Staircase

As the two boys on separate gurneys were about to be carted off to the infirmary the medic ninja stopped when they saw Kakashi and Hinata standing in front of them.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you doing your job but I need you to start healing them right now..." Kakashi said grimly

Arena

"Now for the 4th match of the Final Exams will Sabaku no Gaara and Yoto Takeru please report to the field" Genma called out loudly

Takeru and Garra glanced at each other briefly and then both shunshined to the arena.

Stands

"I hope Takeru will be alright" Choji

Kiba nodded "He's strong but that Gaara kid is...something else"

Sakura nodded remembering the fight between Gaara and Lee she then looked at Ino and saw the scared look on her face. The Pinkette placed a hand on her friends shoulder.

She remained silent praying 'Take-kun please becareful'

Arena

A larger than normal bird was just lazily flying over head but no one payed it no mind as the air tensed in the arena as Genma looked at both genin seeing they were ready "Begin" he then quickly got out of their way.

Wasting no time Gaara's sand begins to seep out of his gourd. Takeru's eyes widened a bit and he backed back. 'Alright here goes nothing'

(He pretty much is at about the same level Sasuke is at this point in the show if not a bit higher so he pretty much does the same at the same speed. I'm sorry but typing that out just wasnt working for me and im trying to make this ch nice and thick to make up for the long wait so if you need visual ques watch the orignal fight if not then lets continue)

"Tch that damn sand ball is tough" Takeru says wiping the blood of the small cut his face then flexing the hand that he punched the sand dome with. "Huh what the hell is that"

Competitor Area

"The third eye...but that technique what is he doing...Gaara"

Inside Sand Dome

Gaara is muttering a jutsu of some sort

Outside

"I can't drag this out I guess its time to end this" Takeru lowers his stance and pressed his fingers to his ankles. "Kai" he speaks and releases the gravity seals Yugao placed on him during their training. He dashes off toward Gaara and tossed 3 kunai then disappears behind the dome and charges forward. The dome sends out spikes to protect itself but they only graze the clothes parts of his right leg and arm the speed giving him an edge if only slightly. Striking the dome he backs back and dodges multiple spikes coming at him jumping on top of the dome but leaving as soon as spikes form.

"Well that didn't work obviously, big surprise there...but" 'Hmmm thats about right' Takeru quietly thinks. "Alright let's get this over with" 'This is for you Tou-san' he prepares his jutsu

Stands

Ino is watching the fight carefully worried about her boyfriend but then she see's that look on his face. "This fight is about to be finished"

"Huh what do you mean Ino how can you tell" Sakura asked with Kiba and Choji looking on waiting for an answer

"I can't really explain it but there's this look that Takeru give when he's made up his mind about a strategy...in that regard he's kinda like Naruto meaning that he has a battle plan and what ever it is will be the end of it" she states

"Well then we'll just have to see about that Ino...for your boyfriends sake I hope you are right" Kiba replyed

Before Ino could give him another lump on his head four indviuals came rushing through the entrance.

"Is the fight over yet is Takeru ok" a spiky blonde haired boy blurted out

The four genin as well as pretty much everyone around them were shock to see him. "Naruto you're ok" Ino asked a bit confused

He looked at them "Oh hey Ino, Kiba, Sakura and Choji whats up" soon Sasuke, Hinata and Kakashi stepped into view

"Sasuke-kun you're alright" she asked in a sweet tone to which he only smile slightly and nodded

"Save your hello's for later something is about to happen" Kakashi pointed out effectively shutting everyone up and putting their attention back on the fight at hand

Arena

Finishing some hand seals "KATON: GOKAKYU NO JUTSU" Takeru let out possibly one of the biggest fire-ball jutsu's anyone had ever seen headed towards the sand dome.

The fired roared as it got closer to Gaara apparently seeing it from his 3rd eye more sand spike come from the bottom of the dome producing a sort of sand wall. As the ball hits its mark it ignites and there is smoke everywhere at this moment Takeru drops 3 smoke bombs to hide himself even more. The smoke around the dome dissipates and the sand spike wall is complete glass and the sand dome on top is cracked and on the bottom glazed over a bit. From where the people assumed Takeru's current location was the smoke expanded and got thicker for some reason then suddenly 3 figures jump out of the smoke headed for the dome. It was 3 Takeru's all with dual swords in their hands.

"MIKAZUKI NO MAI (LEAF STYLE DANCE OF THE CRESCENT MOON)" the young genin cried out

One comes from the right and another from the left both aiming strike at the sides of the dome. With the dome in the state its in the spike come out a fraction slower but they still deflect the strikes and pops the clones. The Takeru in the middle jumps up and tosses his swords at high speed at the dome again slowed the spike actually redirect the blades toward Takeru. Still in the air and with his own swords heading for him he forms hand seals.

"KATON: HIBASHIRI" firing a stream of fire from his lips it encircles the dome raging furiously and adding more heat to the already hardening sand. The swords hit their mark and stab Takeru in the chest

Stands

"TAKERU!" Ino cried out althought Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata and Kakashi remained silent looking up into the sky

The Takeru that was stabbed...poofed

"What...!" Kiba shouted

"Where is he" Choji asked

Sakura looked around and then up "THERE!"

Arena

Dropping down like a missle from a very high altitude is Takeru forming hand seals "KATON: HOSENKA NO JUTSU" several small fire balls almost like rockets rained upon the sand dome.

The 3rd eye slowed from the heat looked up but it was too late as the fireball volley hit directly on top of the dome.

"Got cha now to finish this" still dropping he draws his mother's sword and gathers chakra "RAIKGEKI NO YOROI (LIGHTNING STRIKE ARMOR)" Takeru surrounds himself with electric chakra that sparked from the tip of his sword.

Everyone in the stands are in awe as the now basically watch a lightning strike drops down upon the dome. Everyone is silent as the strike hits the impact negating the fire jutsu surrounding the dome. The intense electric field protects him by disintegrating any sand spikes that come in contact with it while his blade goes clean through.

Competitors Area

"Impossible no one can get through Gaara defenses" Temari says stunned

Stands

"He did it he broke through that sand guys defense alright" Kiba howled

"Wow you guys are way out of my league even you Hinata" Sakura admits truthfully

Ino says nothing but is smiling the biggest smile ever. 'Thank Kami he's safe'

"I knew he would be able to get passed the sand way to go nii-san" Naruto calmly spoke as he retook Hinata's hand in his own

Elsewhere

"We're all ready on this end what about on your side"

"We are good to go"

"Good make sure everything is ready for when the signal appears"

Chunin Stadium

A lone anbu black ops agent hiding behind some of the audience looks up at the Kazekage "It's almost time"

Arena

"I did it...wait what" Takeru said shocked

Inside the Dome

"Wha...what is it...its so warm and wet...mother what is it"

*drip*a drop of blood falls upon Gaara's hand, it was seem that the sand inside the dome was just barely able to redirect the direction of the blade to where it only grazed Gaara's shoulder and didn't go any further

Outside

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BLOOOOOOOOOODDDD ITS MY BLOOODDDD" Gaara scream out loudly

"Huh" Takeru can feel something moving again his blade he tries to remove it but it wont budge he then see's the sand on top the dome where he stood begin to move assuming they are about to form spikes he charges lightning chakra again. "HAAAAAAA" until he is able to remove the sword and jump a distance away from Gaara he sinks to one knee his chakra almost drained.

Competitors Area

"Do you think its taking over" Kankuro silently asks Temari

"I don't know something is wrong I think he is hurt" she responds

Arena

The sand dome around Gaara begins to crack until it's just regular sand falling and surrounding him. Gaara is holding his left shoulder where he was wounded. Breathing heavily he glares at Takeru.

"Just what the hell are you" Takeru says and his breath staggers

Stands

The lone Anbu places his hand upon one of the spectators shoulder, the man begins to doze off until he his sound asleep. The Anbu forms a hand seal and all around the stands the spectators began to do the same, the shinobi however.

"Kakashi do you feel it" Gai calls out

"Yea Genjutsu" he responds

Sasuke looks at Naruto and vice versa as they along with the two jonin, Hinata, Sakura, Ino, Kiba and Choji all preform a release along with ever other shinobi and anbu in the area.

Kage Area

The Kazekage trembles 'Its coming' he then slowly turns his head towards Sarutobi who does the same "Now shall we begin" his two guards rush past him igniting smoke bombs

All the shinobi in the arena turn to look at the Kage Area now covered in smoke

Outside the village hundreds of Sound and Sand shinobi rush into Konoha "There's the signal"

Baki, Temari and Kankuro all stand at the ready "THE OPERATION HAS NOW BEGUN"
