A/N: Hello true believers and Mandalore-holics! It's time... Once again... To hop aboard the Mandalorian Train!
A few chapters back, I wrote a small snippet for Vesvius's (Vesvius B ) "Laying the Smacketh Down: Naruto, the Wrestler" thread on TFF. In his timeline, the Naruto vs Neji match was supposed to be Edge!Naruto w/ Lita!Kin vs Neji. However, he liked my Taker!Naruto vs Neji snippet so much, he decided to use that snippet as his "Naruto, the Wrestler cannon".
That being said, I wrote a few more snippets.
The first one is Taker!Naruto vs fem!Haku. Though I wrote mine first, this is the Alternate Scene, as Vesvius wrote his own take on this fight.
So... Now for the first snippet of this chapter...
Alternate Undertaker!Naruto vs fem!Haku scene
Uchiha Sasuke was dead.
'Th-That... That bastard...'
It wasn't a grand death.
'H-He...'
Not many would think so anyway.
'He... Saved...'
Though he gave his life in the course of his duty, he saved the life of a teammate and friend.
'He... Saved... Me...'
He lie still on the hard surface of the bridge of their client, his body riddled with senbon needles.
'That... B-Bastard...'
Though he saved his friend, he merely prolonged the inevitable...
'...Saved... Me...'
Uzumaki Naruto, would surely fall to this foe. He would die.
'That bastard... Saved me...'
Unless he could do the impossible and transcend death, the hunter-nin would surely prevail.
'Transcend... Death...?'
All was hopeless.
'Beat... Death...?'
The hunter nin looked on sadly. "He died a noble death..."
"Shut up."
'Bastard... Saved... Beat... Death...'
"I..."
"It is the way of the Shinobi to lose those close..."
"I... Will..."
"For one so young to have his dreams extinguished..."
"I... Will..."
"One must be willing to kill one's own heart for what they believe in..."
"I..."
"Be willing to destroy one's own soul..."
"I WILL TAKE YOUR SOUL!"
The hunter-nin gasped in surprised. 'This boy... Th-this... This feeling...'
A dark mist surrounded Uzumaki Naruto as a bell chimed in mourning.
-W-W-E-N-A-R-U-T-O-
Lightning crackled and thunder roared as Tazuna and Sakura stood rooted in place.
"W-What is th-that...?" asked Tazuna nervously.
"I... I don't th-think I w-want to know..." said Sakura shakily.
-W-W-E-N-A-R-U-T-O-
'That feeling...?' thought Zabuza, 'That... That isn't Kakashi... It feels... It feels like...'
'Naruto... What's going on?' Kakashi asked in his thoughts, 'Did the Kitsune break free...? No... The Kitsune was filled with feelings of malice and hatred... This... This is different...'
-W-W-E-N-A-R-U-T-O-
'This feeling... Is it... Death...?'
The smoke cleared, revealing a Naruto dressing in orange spiky robes, his eyes were pure white, his face a mask of malicious rage.
Naruto raised an arm.
The hunter-nin flipped backwards into the mirror as a bolt of lightning struck the ground where he stood.
Another bolt of lightning lanced down from the sky and shattered the mirror. The hunter-nin barely made it out of his mirror before it shattered to pieces.
"You are fast... But are you truly as fast as lightning?" asked Naruto, "Can you survive the bone chilling wrath of the Phenom?"
The hunter-nin leapt from his mirrors as Naruto raised both hands and lightning rained down from the sky, shattering all of them at once.
'His power... Incredible...!' thought the opposing nin.
Suddenly everything went dark.
-W-W-E-N-A-R-U-T-O-
'What the...!?' Zabuza nearly shouted out loud.
'Damn... None of them should be able to use this jutsu...' Thought Kakashi frantically.
-W-W-E-N-A-R-U-T-O-
All around them, Kakashi, Zabuza, his apprentice, Sakura and Tazuna could hear school children singing and playing as nothing was happening.
"Are you scared?" asked Naruto from all sorts of directions.
"One, two... He's comin' for you..." the children chanted.
"I don't think you're scared enough..."
"Three, four... He's back for more..."
"Are you ready to surrender your soul willingly, or do I have to tear it from your body?"
The darkness receded and the hunter-nin spun around, senbon in his hand, ready to strike, but his hand was caught by Naruto, who twisted his arm.
The hunter-nin released the Senbon as Naruto drug him over to the edge of the bridge, onto the rail. Naruto walked a few steps on the railing, guiding the hunter-nin by his twisted arm. Naruto then jumped off the rail bringing down his forearm onto the hunter-nin's head.
Though the mist was clearing, hunter-nin was in a daze, his mask falling off revealing the feminine face of Haku, the "Boy" Naruto had met days earlier.
Naruto's eyes flashed briefly with familiarity for a short moment before the shout of "Raikiri!" could be heard.
"Zabuza-sama!" Haku shouted as she ran towards Zabuza's location to intercept Kakashi's attack.
However, she was intercepted by Naruto, who flipped her upside down, driving her head into the stone pavement of the bridge, knocking Haku unconsious.
Naruto then crossed her arms over her chest, his eyes rolling into the back of his head, fury still etched on his face.
It was a sight that Sakura had never wanted to see again, for she had never been so afraid in her entire life. For this day marked the birth of 'The Phenom', the Lord of Terror and Darkness, and the first of many victories to come.
A/N: This is actually the last one I have currently written for that thread. Vesvius has given it his stamp of approval, but it isn't officially part of the timeline as of yet. So, sit back and enjoy Naruto facing Jirobou of the Otoyon.
Big Show!Naruto vs Jirobou of the Otoyon (Sound Four)
The five of them found themselves trapped within an earthen dome of chakra sucking dirt.
Various tactics were attempted, but none of them could break free. It was then, that Naruto suddenly got an idea.
"That guy's pretty big, huh?" Naruto said.
"Yeah... Why?" asked Shikamaru trying to trouble out Naruto's plan.
"What's the best way to take out a Giant?" Naruto asked with a certain glint in his eye.
"Err... Take him out at the knees?" Kiba asked hesitantly.
"Blind him," Neji said with certainty.
"And what if you can't do either?" asked Naruto, hinting at their situation.
Even Shikamaru frowned in contemplation.
"You get a bigger Giant," said Naruto smugly.
"I don't have enough Chakra to get us out of here without hurting you guys," said Chouji.
"But I do," said Naruto before shouted "Henge no Jutsu!"
With a puff of smoke Naruto was much larger than he had been and was wearing an orange singlet that had one strap over his left shoulder. "Meet the Uzumaki Show!"
Neji placed his hand on his forhead in disbelief, shaking his head. Shikamaru scoffed and Chouji groaned at Naruto's show of intelligence, or the lack there of, and Kiba verbally summed up what everyone else was thinking. "Baka!"
The now 7 ft, 500 lbs, Naruto just smirked before punching his arm almost completely through the dome wall. "You were saying."
-W-W-E-N-A-R-U-T-O-
"Wh-what the..." Jirobou exclaimed as he felt tremors running through the dome. 'Th-they... Those trash are actually breaking through... Impossible...!"
Suddenly, a massive sized fist broke through the dome, nearly striking the member of the Otoyon who had stayed behind. Jirobou had been forced to release his hold on the jutsu as Naruto smashed through the remnants of the dome.
"Aaaahhhhhh!" Naruto loudly yelled as he lifted his massive skillet sized hand in the air. "It's time to show you what a real Giant can do!"
"Bring it trash!" yelled Jirobou he he activated his cursed seal to level two. The blonde Genin had managed to do a transformation that had managed to break through one of his best containment jutsus with sheer physical strength alone and was not even winded. He was going to have to pull out all the stops.
He charged at Naruto, his fist cocked back, but the Uzumaki Show caught his fist as he went to punch the blonde in the face, which now towered a nearly a full foot above his own.
Naruto then took his giant meaty hand and grabbed Jirobou's head before head butting him into near unconsciousness. Jirobou stumbled back a few steps from the impact. Before he could clear his head, Naruto grabbed him by the throat with both hands, and began to choke the Otoyon member.
"Rrrraaaahhhhh!" Naruto yelled as he then choke tossed Jirobou. The bodyguard of Orochimaru then tried to stand, but he was forced back down when the 7ft, 500 lbs Naruto stepped on his back before walking on him.
"Rrrraaaahhhhh!" Naruto yelled as he raised his hand gain. He then roughly grabbed the collar of Jirobou's shirt, forcing the Oto-nin to his knees. Then Naruto wrapped his giant hand around Jirobou's throat forcing the pained boy to his feet.
'This... This is Naruto...?' Kiba asked himself in his mind.
'His powers and his techniques... No wonder I lost to him...' thought Neji.
'Troublesome...' Shikamaru mentally noted.
"Whoa..." Chouji whispered, "Who'd have thought Naruto wold ever be this strong?"
Naruto then roared mightily as he lifted Jirobou over his head by the boy's throat.
"Isn't that the move he used on you Neji?" Kiba asked in interest.
"No. It's similar... But bigger... More devastating..." Neji observed.
Naruto then slammed Jirobou down to the ground. Hard. He himself had fell to his knees and the ground cracked under the impact as Jirobou's back was driven into it.
"Chouji." said Shikamaru. "Take this guy back to Konoha. Other than Naruto... You're about the only one strong enough to carry him. Appraise Hokage-sama of the situation."
"Hai." Chouji replied. "Shika... Guys... Good luck..."
With that, the remnants of Team Shikamaru went after the rest of the Otoyon as Chouji began to drag Jirobou back to Konoha.
A/N: This is the second snippet for that thread I wrote. I wrote this right after the formation of "Eagle" in the Manga as Sasuke-hate was running rampant on TFF. While people try not to senselessly bash characters on TFF, Sasuke, Sakura and Hinata tend to take quite the verbal beating from people there from time-to-time, though Sasuke much more than the others.
Still, I didn't write this one because I hate Sasuke (I merely have a strong dislike for him), I wrote it just to see him get totally stomped without the self-righteous bashing that many authors tend to get into. So enjoy the coming "squash match".
This snippet has not only been approved, but is officially part of the timeline.
Goldberg!Naruto vs Sasuke
Sasuke was now waiting at the Valley of the End.
He was waiting for his friend, his comrade, his brother... Uzumaki Naruto, the gimmick nin, Konohagakure's #1 hyperactive, unpredictable, most surprising, knuckleheaded ninja.
Leaning against a nearby boulder, he never thought that Naruto would not succeed, that he would not make it to where Sasuke was currently standing. Even Sasuke could admit that despite being a thickheaded idiot, Naruto always came through when it mattered.
It was only a matter of time.
Sasuke couldn't help but ponder which persona Naruto would use against him. Sasuke had seen a wide variety of them and had been able to analyze a plethora of strengths and weaknesses about each of them.
Easily the most dangerous, to both Naruto and his opponents, was the Phenom personality. The "Dead Man" was just that... Dead. The persona was incredibly powerful and could take much more damage than almost all of the other variations of Naruto combined and could shake off the damage as if it was nothing. However, even if Naruto were to take almost no damage and only use the Phenom persona for a short time, the damage to his body was unreal.
Sasuke had been surprised Naruto had been able to fight again after the match he had with Hyuuga Neji. By rights Naruto should have been out almost a month.
Still, IF, and that was a BIG if, one could outlast the Phenom, the could easily defeat Naruto.
Then there was the "Stone Cold" persona. This one was easily among the most powerful of them all. Naruto had fought Zabuza to a standstill with this persona. In many ways this personality was very much like Naruto. Stone Cold was a brawler at heart and could do great amounts of damage with his fists. His weakness was those who could utilize a large amount of grappling moves, demonstrating a high amount of technical skill.
Likewise, the "Great One" persona, though very similar to "Stone Cold", relies on speed and finesse rather than power and brawling. This one could be overcome with overwhelming brute strength.
There was the "Mankind" Persona that, like "Phenom", could take a lot of damage but Naruto relied on a large number of unusual, yet effective, array of weapons.
The "Nature Boy" tended to use cheap tricks and underhanded tactics in battle. Despite this, the "Nature Boy" seemed to have attracted as many fangirls around and outside of Konoha as Sasuke himself did. Even Sakura, whom thought of Naruto as nothing but a simple annoyance, couldn't help but be drawn to this personality.
Yes, Sasuke had studied many of Naruto's different personalities in depth and was more than a little impressed by what he saw. Though he knew of their strengths and weaknesses, he knew not to take them lightly. Even the weaker personas like Mr. Venis was clever and quite skilled, could charm nearly any and every female within the vicinity while dropping a powerful Explosive Towel on his unsuspecting opponents.
Sasuke couldn't help but wonder which personality Naruto would eventually come at him with.
He didn't have to wait long as loud, booming music came from the cave at the Konoha exit of the Valley of the End. He could tell by the music something big, something dangerous, something malicious and feral was coming his way. Yet, Sasuke couldn't piece together which personality was coming to meet him.
Suddenly some kunai with attached explosive tags flew out of the cave. It wasn't but a few seconds before they exploded. Though instead of a loud booming explosion, the kunai became gigantic sparklers.
Naruto walked through the pyrotechnics, smoke coming out of his mouth as he punched the air in front of him before unleashing a powerful kick.
"SSSaaasssuuukkkeee!" Naruto shouted.
As much as Sasuke wanted to scoff at the flashy, non-Shinobi like entrance, he knew better than to underestimate Naruto's different personalities. After all, "The Phenom" had easily defeated both Haku and Neji and even "The Legend Killer" managed to take out Orochimaru.
This Naruto wore only his orange pants and black, fingerless, gloves.
"You're NEXT!"
Sasuke frowned in thought. This was a new personality, one that he'd never seen before.
Activating his Sharingan, Sasuke charged at Naruto, taking the initiative from the start. Suddenly Naruto charged at him, a move not entirely unexpected, except he was moving far faster than he'd ever seen Naruto move.
Suddenly Sasuke felt pain in his abdomin as Naruto drove his shoulder deep into his gut. Sasuke desperately gasped for air as he seemed to be lifted a few inches of the ground before being mercilessly driven onto his back with Naruto's shoulder still buried deep into his abs.
Sasuke moved his hands over his midsection once Naruto released him. He was vaguely aware of Naruto seemingly exploding with energy, letting out another yell and bringing his gloved right hand across his throat.
Despite the pain he was in, Sasuke desperately tried to stand, but he was then grabbed by Naruto, who put Sasuke's head in between his arm and his body. Naruto then threw Sasuke's arm over his head and lifted him into the air, holding him there for several moments. The gimmick nin then slammed his left hand into Sasuke's chest as he felt to his side, and Sasuke hit the ground with the force of a jackhammer.
"Sasuke... You're coming back to Konoha..." Naruto said as Sasuke blacked out.
A/N: Now... This is one of three non-combat scenes that have been written for this ficlet idea. This is also the first of three segments written so far that take place post-Time Skip.
The other two non-Combat scenes is the opening scene during the Team Assignments, by Vesvius, which featured The Rock!Naruto verbally dressing down Kiba in typical Great One fashion. It was also the scene that triggered all of this snippets that myself and other have written.
The other non-Combat scene was the written test of the Chuunin Exams, by jwolf0 (on TFF) which featured A Ric Flair!Naruto showing the Elemental Countries just how great "The Nature Boy" truly was.
The other two segments that take place post-Time Skip are both written by Vesvius, which are the first two segments of the ending of the ficlet. A Royal Rumble Match for control of the Elemental Countries. 30 participants, which includes Akatsuki as a whole (including ALL Six Peins), Orochimaru, Kabuto, Sasuke, All five Kages, Six Naruto's and one unnamed competitor. So far, only one Pein, Tsunade, the Raikage (who's been eliminated), and Kisame have made a Rumble appearance with the first Naruto on the way.
Anyways, here it is, the final snippet of this chapter...
post-Time Skip scene: Jiraiya talking about when he almost died.
"There are only two times in my life where I was close to death..." said Jiraiya ominously. "The first time was when I was trying to peek on Tsu-hime in the Onsen..."
Jiraiya grinned at the memory, it had been well worth it.
"The second time was during our trip..." said Jiraiya, "Intel from both Haruno and Uchiha had been surprisingly helpful in training Naruto. But I had to figure out how far he could go... How powerful he truly was. In order to do that, I had to also find out how many personalities he had and how fast he could switch between them. Apparantly, not only are the personalities and fighting styles different, but so are their elements as well..."
"You taught him elemental manipulation Jiraiya-sama?" asked Yamato.
"No, his personalities don't need it. Everything they can do, they do instinctively," said Jiraiya.
"So... What happened Jiraiya-sama?" asked Kakashi.
"I played to each of their weaknesses, I am a Sannin after all..." said Jiraiya, "When he used 'The Great One' I outpowered him... When he pulled out 'Stone Cold' I out grappled him. I kept pressing him, trying to get him to bring out 'The Phenom'. One by one I took them on, and defeated them. 'The Olympian', 'Shamrock', 'The Game', none of them were a match for me. I even beat 'Goldberg', though it wasn't easy..."
Jiraiya was lost in thought for a moment, remembering the event well.
"His promise to the Haruno girl not using that personality unless the situation warranted it held him back, but I kept pressing him until another new personality emerged..." said Jiraiya, "This one did a real number on me... Called himself 'The Big Red Monster', the half brother of 'The Phenom'. From what I can tell, he's a sort of mix between 'The Phenom' and the other personalities. All I can say is that Hyuuga Neji and that Haku girl are damned lucky Naruto didn't want them dead, because 'The Phenom' could have done much worse to them, than 'The Big Red Monster' did to me..."
"Does the Kitsune have any influence of the personalities?" asked Yamato.
"As far as I can tell... No..." said Jiraiya, "Though 'The Big Red Monster' does show psychotic tendencies and when 'Shamrock' snaps into his rage, there's no stopping him unless you incapacitate him. Even 'Goldberg' tends to be a bit brutal with a good number of his opponents. It's hard to tell with one or two of the others, but only time will tell."
A/N: I hope you all enjoyed these small snippets!
