"Bijuu and Bijuu techniques!"
IX
Naruto got rid of the oil and placed it back in its tags and he watched patiently and observed his opponents. Kiba lost badly to Shino. Shino had started leeching Kiba's chakra the moment they entered the arena.
Kankuro, received a pass to the next round due to their being an odd numbered amount of people. Shikamaru and Temari displayed albeit slightly boring match with no flashy jutsu like the first two rounds but the shinobi were certainly impressed.
"Definitely promote them to Chunin."
Finally came the match that everyone had put money on. Uchiha Sasuke vs Subaku no Gaara. "Can Uchiha Sasuke enter the arena?" Called Genma, the question was repeated and after the third call Sasuke had not shown up.
"Subaku no Gaara wins by forfeit." The last word was out of his mouth as Kakashi and Sasuke appeared in a shunshin.
"We're not late are we?" Asked Kakashi curiously.
"Uchiha Sasuke has been disqualified." Sasuke's sharingan flickered to life as he spluttered angrily and his fuuinjutsu marks pulsed as well but for now Kakashi's seal held.
"Get him out of here Kakashi and watch the next fight. Moving onto the next round of fights will Subaku no Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto enter the arena?"
Naruto was over the balcony and in the arena as his surname was called. He landed like a toad, calmly crouching to displace the impact of landing on the ground "Ready."
The fighters took their positions, Genma dropped his arm and leapt clear as Gaara thrust his hands forwards and the sand jumped at his command. Naruto's eyes widened as he back flipped away.
"Okay, Naruto think…He uses sand to augment his body. He probably uses the sand to fight. I need to break or make his sand inaccessible to him." Naruto said to himself as he stuck himself to the wall, and he pumped chakra into his clothes giving him maximum protection. He reached into his pockets and pulled out his thirty water tags.
"I hope this enough. Fuuin: KAI!" It was like a waterfall had been released. The water gushed out of the tags and began to pool in the arena. Gaara jumped backwards as if he had been scolded. Naruto pressed the attack.
"Suiton Bakushi Shoha!" (Water release: Exploding Water Shockwave). The water rose as it fell creating massive tidal wave. Naruto groaned, he should have waited for the water to settle before using it because of the descending water required more chakra to make it rise. But he managed it. It was as effective but five gallons of water crashed down on Gaara.
Naruto panted, that technique had taken more chakra than he had factored. "Uzumaki…You shall suffer." Growled Gaara. He managed to stand atop of the water, albeit shakily.
"Futon: Mugen Sajin Diatoppa!" Naruto closed his eyes and dived for the water as the lumps of sand shot towards him but due to the amount of water that had coated his sand it had rendered his sand techniques unusable.
"You can't use your sand techniques…Game over." Growled Naruto.
Gaara smirked "Oh really? Futon: Renkudan!"
Naruto caught the hand seals just about and replaced himself with a log which was crushed to a pulp. "That's some serious Futon Jutsu you have there…" Naruto rolled again as another three bullets tore towards him, creating small paths in the arena of water. They impacted with such force the protective seals on the arena; created by the Nidaime and reinforced subsequently by the Sandaime Hokage, Uzumaki Mito and the Yondaime Hokage that they faltered.
As powerful as the seals were none of them were prepped to deal with a sealed jinchuriki and a jinchuriki that suffered from split personality disorder and the other personality was the Bijuu itself.
(Kage Booth)
Jiraiya and the Sandaime's eyes widened "Jinchuriki! Kazekage-san, you did not tell me that your son was your jinchuriki. I trust he can control it."
The Kazekage smiled softly "Of course he can…But why should he? Nehan Shoja no Jutsu!"
(Arena)
Feathers started to fall, Naruto's eyes flashed red and the genjutsu broke "Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! Wake up the shinobi, invasion. Start civilian evacuation!" Shouted Naruto. He rounded on Gaara, pulling out three soldier pills.
The chakra surged through his system "Fuuin: Kai!" The water was mixed with oil.
"Kuchiyose no jutsu!" There was a poof of smoke and Gamakichi appeared.
"Yo! What's happening?" He asked attaching himself to Naruto's head.
"Invasion. We need to take out him by any means needed. I have a Wind Jutsu?"
Kichi smirked "I've got a fire!"
"FUTON: DIATOPPA!"
"KATON: ENDAN!"
The massive fireball hit the oil releasing a massive explosion of superheated gas waking up the stadium full of shinobi and civilians. Sasuke bristled with rage, as the genjutsu descended he dispelled it with ease and he launched himself into the arena.
He landed on the oil substance as Naruto and someone unleashed a massive fire and wind combination, which he didn't manage to copy but got a register on its power. He literally just cleared the oil and ran up the wall as the stadium exploded in a concentrated fireball.
The heat was intense. He felt like he was going to die. But he managed to survive it "What was that?" He snapped.
Naruto grunted "Little something I've been working on…Bollocks. Bastard got away." Naruto found himself looking at his opponent being supported by the girl and the make-up guy.
"Why is it always the pretty ones?" Naruto groused.
"Pretty ones what Naruto?" Genma appeared on the torched arena floor, Naruto and Sasuke joined him.
"Pretty girls always having to be so bad and try to kill you?" Naruto asked.
Genma snorted "Just the way it works…The exams are over. Report to your sensei for instructions."
(Konoha)
Across all of Konoha, Chunin and Jonin alike clashed with attacking forces of Suna and Oto. Suna possessed some very high quality shinobi as they were one of the Great Five, but the 2nd smallest. They were only just larger than Kiri who spent most of their time killing each other.
Oto on the other hand possessed a quality of quantity. But Konoha had one thing they didn't. The Home Advantage, contrary to popular belief fighting in Great Five villages happened quite a bit, but the attackers could seldom hold it.
Unfortunately Oto negated some of these advantages, as they were trained by Orochimaru of the Sannin who had been part of the village.
However, many invaders of the secret tunnels never made it to their destinations as the ANBU, deployed en masse. ANBU were designed for one thing and one thing only and that was to fight, kill and die on the darkest and most treasonous missions if discovered. There were about hundred and twenty members of the ANBU active at any one time. These one hundred and twenty shinobi were the dark fist of Konoha.
They hunted in the tunnels, taking no prisoners and no casualties.
(Rooftop nearby Clan District)
Twenty four incoming shinobi had been paralysed by a shadow. Twenty four paralysed shinobi wasn't a big thing; but when it was a Nara who had done it; it was a pretty big thing indeed. "I...I...Can't...Move!" Gasped one of the shinobi.
"Come on boys! If you've never heard of the Leaf's Shadow Bind Jutsu, then you'll love this next one: The Leaf Village's Shadow-Neck Binding Jutsu." The hidden man rasped as the shadows slowly strangled the twenty four nin in front of him.
Nara Shikaku the Jonin Hancho smirked as he looked at his handiwork and headed towards the Flower Shop. At said Flower shop a male Ino lookalike stared disinterestedly at the two Jonin advancing upon him "Mind Destruction Jutsu!" Inoichi turned away from his attackers as his jutsu took hold, he nodded to Shikaku who casually dropped two chunin with two kunai.
Below them a large man swung his bo-staff sweeping Oto-nin off their feet and sending them into doors, walls and angry old decrepit civilians who hadn't made it to the shelters and had equipped themselves with the sharpest implements they could find. "MULTI-SIZE JUTSU!"
"It's just like the old days huh Shikaku? Choza?"
Choza nodded as Shikaku smirked "An Ino-Shika-Cho trip is back." As he spoke the entirety of the named clans came tearing out of their land and teamed up into the genin teams they had when they were young.
(Water supply)
In the middle of one deserted street located near the water lines that were going to be sabotaged were eight fresh Jonin from Suna and one veteran; fortunately for the new Jonin the veteran had served in the 3rd Shinobi War but even he didn't know who their opponent was.
Their opponent was in his late sixties maybe seventies with a wok, ladle and tanto. He also had a prosthetic leg that also contained a hidden weapon; he was one of many Mannen Genin to grace Konoha's forces but he was by far the eldest Mannen Genin; at his age he was the only shinobi that was allowed to talk informally to the Hokage and his advisors. This man was Maruboshi Kosuke, Kosuke smiled as he faced down his opponents.
Kosuke grinned "May I offer you good Jonin a suggestion?" He made no effort to form and sort of handseal or go for his wok or tanto.
"Does it involve dying like a civilian? Civilian?" Mocked one of the new Jonin pointing his kunai at Kosuke as if lining up the perfect kill shot.
"No actually. It was to run away. You see my name is Maruboshi Kosuke the eldest Mannen Genin of Konoha; veteran of three shinobi wars and genin under Senju Hashirama-Sama and Senju Tobirama-Sama and the only genin to perform the WATERSTYLE: WATER DRAGON BULLET! With only five hand seals." A great light blue dragon materialised out of the water tanks and shot towards the nine Jonin; four were crushed under the direct weight of the massed amount of water.
Kosuke was amongst them like a genin chasing Tora, his tanto lashed out opening the jugular and trachea of the fifth's and the Jonin collapsed hands grabbing his throat too slowly and far too late. Jonin's six and seven began to gather their surroundings hands weaving in perfect unison a double Futon: Diatoppa (Great Breakthrough) which would form Wind style: Tremendous Clearing able to dissemble all but the sturdiest buildings. But Kosuke smirked; launched himself airborne and in mid-air flipped and launched out his prosthetic limb. The hidden blade was concealed where the Fibula connected with his ankle.
The needle blade penetrated the base of the throat and the Jonin fell backwards gurgling for breath as blood began pouring out. The other Jonin tried to help but found his body going one way and his the other. As for Jonin eight and the veteran a swift Doton: DORO DOMU! The pair were engulfed in the hungry earth, followed byDoton: IWAYADO KUZUSHI! The dome collapsed killing the two Jonin inside of it.
"They don't the Jonin like they used. Lord Second please forgive me for my brashness." Kosuke murmured, he said the prayer every time after he had killed someone. He still judged himself harshly for a mistake he had made all those years ago.
(Stadium)
Yugao Hari, ducked, channelled chakra into his sword and calmly bisected three Oto shinobi. He replaced himself with another only for him to receive an explosive tag to the chest.
Humans and explosive tags don't mix. Then again shinobi jutsu effects on humans tend not to mix on principle. "Naruto-kun, well done in the exams."
Naruto nodded, he ducked, replaced himself and drove his blades into an Oto Shinobi. "Oh fuck. My first actual kill…First of many." Naruto thought to himself as he ended three more shinobi.
Kakashi watched with slight concern as Sasuke charged into battle, his fire jutsu expelled with every other breath. "You and I are going to have a chat after this is sorted out."
"Naruto, I need you to take out Subaku no Gaara, he's a jinchuriki."
"Sasuke, I need you to take out Subaku no Gaara, he's a jinchuriki."
