Chapter 7: I'll win! I never go back on my word! That's my Nindo: My ninja way!
Previously
Everybody cheered for the 8 teens that were getting ready to fight each other. "I'll beat you. Your going to regret lying to me. You have yet to see my Uzumaki rage." Natsumi whispers to Gaara was standing next to her. "I'm sorry ok. I just lied without thinking." Gaara whispers back. "What's done is done. You can't change my feelings of the past." Natsumi whispers back. They both stopped talking.
Now
6 of the teens went to their waiting place while the other 2 remained. On the battlefield was just the proctor which was Shikamaru. Then it was Neji and Kaito. "Now. Are you going to give me that same lame ass speech you gave Naruto?!" Kaito laughs. "Gentle fist art, 8 trigrams, 64 palms." Neji says as he gets into a pose. Kaito took off his eyepatch and revealed his Rinnegan that was in his left eye. Neji went in for Kaito's chakra points but Kaito dodged all of his attacks.
Kaito held out his right arm and held it with his left hand. A blue spark started to come out of Kaito's hand. 'That's the Chidori Sasuke used during the Chunin exams.' Neji thinks. 'This could be trouble…' Neji thinks as he gets his Byakugan ready. Kaito formed the Chidori and went straight in for Neji's hands. 'He can't use 8 trigrams on me if his hands are messed up…' Kaito thought as he was almost up to Neji. Kaito charged at Neji's hands.
Neji saw his bad intentions. "Substitution jutsu!" Neji yells as he replaced himself with a log. Neji kicked Kaito in the air from behind him. Kaito went flying in the air. Neji went up above Kaito in mid air and strikes 64 of Kaito's tenketsu. "You stopped my flow of chakra…" Kaito stutters as he falls down from the air. Neji did the final blow and kicked Kaito all the way down to the ground. Shikamaru checked on Kaito. All of Kaito's tenketsu was subsequently blocked.
"Our winner is Neji Hyūga." Shikamaru says through his mic. Everybody cheered for the winner. "I know I'm being harsh… But he didn't train enough. He spent a whole month slacking off. It took me about a week to learn two things and he's over here just loosing. Yeah he is strong but he knew his opponent is Neji. I don't see why he didn't train with you Asahi." Natsumi says harshly to Asahi.
"He is like Naruto. He is strong. Not as strong as Naruto though. But he is this village's number 2 knucklehead." Temari says as she puts her arm around Natsumi. "Oh I know big sister." Natsumi says as she hugs her. Everybody stared at the sisterly love that Natsumi and Temari was showing. Even the stadiums, the kages, and Neji. Even Kaito moved his body just to see. Natsumi opened her eyes. "Pay attention to the Chunin Exams please!" Natsumi yelled loud enough for everybody to hear.
Everybody looked away from Natsumi and Temari rubbed the nape of her neck. The next people to battle was Kankurō and Shino. Kankurō started off by using one of his main puppets: Kuroari. Shino reaches his arm out and some kikaichū insects came out from within his body. "Let's end this quick…" Shino says in a low voice. "What?" Kankurō yells out loud. "Nothing…" Shino says in a low voice again. Shino's bugs are up Kankurō's chakra strings.
The bugs finally got to Kankurō and before Kankurō could even do anything about it his whole body was covered with insects. Kankurō fell down due to loss of chakra. All of Kankurō's chakra was gone and was given to Shino by Shino's insects. Shikamaru looked at Kankurō. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner." Shikamaru say through his mic. Just like Kaito, Kankurō got sent to the recovery room.
The next two people to battle are Temari and Asahi. Asahi and Temari both kissed Natsumi on the cheek and headed down to the field. "I will fight for her love kid. She is my little sister. I won't let you have her." Temari tells Asahi. "Tch. Let's see about that. Soon enough she'll be dating me." Asahi said. Temari pulled out her fan. Asahi took off his eyepatch to reveal his Sharingan in his right eye. "Let's get this started!" Asahi yells in confidence. 'Just like Sasuke when he thought he could beat me up at the Academy…' Natsumi thinks.
On Natsumi's graduation day
"Come on! Your turn. Now Natsumi!" Sasuke said getting too full of himself. Natsumi took his challenge. That gathered almost the whole school. Some teachers wondered what was going on. Then they came to see the fight too. There are some immature teachers just letting students fight. "Your on LOVERS BOY!" Natsumi says as she draws her sword for her belt. The two fought until it was time to announce teams. Natsumi won and she was so happy while Sasuke was on the ground with bruises but no bloodshed.
"That's what you get for calling me Tomato head!" Natsumi said then she looked over at Ino giving her a look that says you can be next and all of a sudden Ino runs from the glare Natsumi was giving her.
Now
While Asahi was watching Kaito's fight Asahi copied Kaito's Chidori with his Sharingan. Asahi have seen Kakashi use Chidori many times and learned from him too. Asahi formed a perfect Chidori competing with Sasuke's. Asahi went charging at Temari. Temari automatically opened her fan all the way up knowing Asahi is a tough opponent. Temari used her fan Wind Release nature manipulation to create servers torrents winds. Asahi got pushed back a little bit but stood his ground.
'I can't go so close up. I have to remember she is a long distance fighter. I'm a close distance fighter. It was easy for Shikamaru because he outsmarted her and planned so many steps ahead.' Asahi thinks. Asahi was nodding his head and Natsumi took note of this. 'He is going to pull a Shika.' Natsumi thinks. A Shika is what the rookie 9 call thinking like Shikamaru. Plan a bunch moves and ways you can defeat the opponent is what a Shika is.
Asahi quickly made hand signs to a jutsu that Temari couldn't even see. Asahi puffed up his chest and let out a giant fireball. 'Damn it! Wind can't work against Fire.' Temari thinks. Temari took her fan and reflects Asahi's jutsu right back at him. Asahi quickly made hand signs again. 'What is he trying to do?' Kakashi thinks from the stands. "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Asahi yells as he does the jutsu.
The water cancelled out the fire that Temari reflected and continued towards Temari. "Sorry crowd! Today is a sunny day with a chance of rain!" Temari says as she splits the water dragon in half in the air. Water started pouring down in the stadium. "Let's see you try to counter this one!" Asahi says. Asahi performed some hand signs quickly. "Vapor Style!" Asahi yells. 'He learned that from that perv didn't he?!' Natsumi thinks. In a tree there was a white haired old man watching the battle. 'Yep. I did right teaching him that!' Jiraiya thinks.
There was a combination nature of fire and water based chakra to create a powerful corrosive vapor capable of melting anything. Asahi used his chakra to guide the vapor to Temari. Temari tried to use her fan to blow the vapor away with wind but the vapor kept coming back. "If you don't forfeit this vapor will start burning you and your fan." Asahi says with his arms crossed. "Your lying!" Temari yells. Then a little bit of the vapor touch her fan and it automatically melted at the spot.
Then the vapor moved over to Temari. The vapor touched Temari and she started screaming. "This is more of a torture technique…" Asahi points out. "Ok! I forfeit!" Temari says. The vapor then vanished. "All I had to do was outsmart you like Shikamaru. You was in a tough situation that you could have easily forfeited but he did before you. So this time I'll enjoy making you forfeit not forfeit myself." Asahi says. The stadium cheered for him.
Shikamaru presents the winner as Asahi. The last battle is Natsumi and Gaara. Natsumi and Gaara walked down the stairs to get to the arena. "Do you want me to go easy on you?" Gaara asks. "No. Full power. No holding back. I'm going to show you what you get for lying. Lying isn't good and you should be punished for it." Natsumi said as she did an evil smirk for her last sentence. Gaara sweat dropped.
Natsumi and Gaara was on the battlefield. Shikamaru held his microphone away from his mouth. "Go as hard as you like. Just don't destroy the arena. That goes for both of you." Shikamaru tells Natsumi and Gaara. "I plan on using all of my strength for this. And I'm still mad at you Shikamaru." Natsumi says. "Let's not get into that now. Alright? Your fault if you pass out." Shikamaru says. Natsumi and Gaara backed up away from each other. "Shadow clone jutsu!" Natsumi yells as she makes 100+ shadow clones. They all attacked Gaara.
Natsumi sat down and meditated. Gaara just let his sand protect him. Within a few seconds Natsumi was ready. Natsumi stood up and made her shadow clones disperse. "What is that?!" Gaara asks. "It's called Sage Mode!" Natsumi yells. Natsumi jumped up in the air and did Sage Art: Wind Style: Sand Dust. Gaara starts looking around.
Natsumi sees an opening and heads for it. 'Gaara's sand is like having another set of eyes and a back up shield. It can't see if it's blind.' Natsumi thinks. Natsumi formed a Rasengan in her right hand and hit Gaara with it. Then Natsumi jumped out of the sand dust. Natsumi went out of Sage mode and released her Rinnegan. "Deva Path!" Natsumi yells. Natsumi held her right arm out and Gaara's neck came to her hand.
Natsumi gripped his neck and slammed him to the ground. Natsumi backed up as Gaara got up without a scratch on him. Sand crumbled from Gaara's back. "You broke my barrier. I was trying to go easy but your too powerful for me to go easy on." Gaara says as he cracks his knuckles. "I'll show you something nobody here have ever seen." Natsumi says. Natsumi put her hands behind her back. 'Sorry if you guys get revealed." Natsumi thinks as she looks at the sky.
"Dragon Force!" Natsumi yells. Natsumi gains reptilian scales and traits, such as further elongated, and sharper, canines and scale-like patterns on her skin. "Fire Dragon Roar!" Natsumi yells as she uses her magic. Gaara cancelled out the fire with his sand. 'So Fire is weak against sand… I thought so. Then dragon force won't help.' Natsumi thinks. Natsumi went out of dragon force.
"I might not have Sharingan but I can learn Justus faster than the average ninja." Natsumi says. Natsumi had shadow clones go back at Gaara again. Gaara just used his sand to block all of Natsumi's Taijutsu attacks. Natsumi and two other shadow clones went into Sage mode. "Chidori!" Natsumi yelled. 'Oh no not again!' Gaara thinks I'm fear. Gaara used all of his sand to cover him.
'Even when he trapped himself in a globe Sasuke's Chidori got through.' Natsumi thinks. Natsumi ran up to Gaara and hit him with Chidori right in the same part Sasuke hit Gaara with his Chidori in the last Chunin Exams: Gaara's chest. Natsumi jumped back and all of Gaara's sand fell from around him. Gaara's fear of blood made him go on an accidental kind of a rampage but not exactly. Gaara has control over his Tail Beast now.
Natsumi went into Kurama's landscape. "I need you to help me." Natsumi says. "Really?! Kid don't you think your going too far?!" Kurama says. "What if even after I fixed his seal he still can't fully control Shukaku?!" Natsumi asks out of worry. "So you actually care about this kid?" Kurama asks. "Yes a little. I don't hold a grudge that long. Many people have lied to me. I'm used to it. Just let me help him!" Natsumi yells. "Ok I'll help you." Kurama says.
"Good. I'll open up your cage." Natsumi says. Natsumi opened up Kurama's cage and the two fist bumped. Natsumi went out of Kurama's landscape to find Shukaku. Shukaku was so tall that he was taller than the arena/stadium and trees. Shikamaru went up to the hokage. "Should we stop this?" Shikamaru asks. "Natsumi is smart enough. This was a test she set up. We will let Natsumi deal with this. This can prove if either of them should be Chunins." Tsunade said.
"Yes ma'am. Shall I stay up here out of the way?" Shikamaru asks. "Yes. We have S-Rank and A-Rank Anbu Black Ops surrounding the arena in case of anything." Tsunade explains. "Ok." Shikamaru replies back. Natsumi went into Tail Beast Mode with Sage mode on. "Gaara snap out of it!" Natsumi yells. Shukaku just said gibberish. 'I can't understand what he said.' Natsumi says. "Let me speak with Shukaku." Kurama says.
"Sure you can give it a go." Natsumi says. Kurama started to speak. "Shukaku. What are you planning on doing with that kid. He has done nothing to you." Kurama says. "Oh shut up! What I'm doing isn't pointless!" Shukaku yells. Kurama rolled his eyes. "Then give me one good reason you should keep the kid and I won't beat your ass." Kurama says.
Shukaku thought for a while. "You can't beat me! So I don't need a reason!" Shukaku yells and laughs. "Even if he couldn't beat you. I could!" Natsumi yells. "Aww… Who is this little pest you got with you Kurama?" Shukaku asks. "She is my guardian. I'm her tail beast and she is my human." Kurama explains. "Great. Now your being controlled." Shukaku says as he puts his hand on his head.
"She doesn't control me! Watch your tongue! I should beat your ass right now." Kurama yells. "I'm right behind you!" Natsumi says. "Aww… you is controlling her. Anyways you can't beat me." Shukaku says. "But I can. His chakra assists me. So does my Sage mode help me." Natsumi tells Shukaku. "Come at me little girl!" Shukaku yells. "Just lend me some power Kurama. I already know how I'll beat him!" Natsumi says.
"Ok if you say so…" Kurama's says. Kurama gave Natsumi some chakra and went back to his landscape. Natsumi jumped on Shukaku's head. "You'll have to try harder if you want to get him!" Shukaku yells with a voice cracking laugh. Shukaku has sand flying towards at Natsumi. Natsumi made shadow clones and all of them had a Rasengan in the right hand. Natsumi blocked all of the sand with her shadow clones and Rasengans. Natsumi finally got to where Gaara was.
Natsumi tried to pull him out of the sand but it just pulled him more. "You'll have to try harder kid." Shukaku says. "I know exactly what to do. Sand is weak against Lightning." Natsumi says with a smirk. Natsumi used a special kunai that Asuma gave her and cut Gaara out of the sand with her chakra blade. Then Natsumi carried Gaara down from Shukaku by sliding her Chidori all the way down him splitting him in half.
Natsumi made Shukaku disperse you can say, saved Gaara, and became a Jonin just as the 3rd wished. But after the Chunin exams everybody else got an opportunity to become Chunins. Eventually Natsumi got questioned about the dragon force thing. So Natsumi had to go into hiding while Naruto came back home. Natsumi spent most of her time looking for Akatsuki for a special thing.
You can probably guess what that thing is. But I hope you will be surprised next chapter. Anyways I hope you liked it.
