Chapter 4: The Two Devils
Everyone in the stadium, except for Natsu and Happy, was shocked from what they see. Naru Uzumaki, the dead-last, the Demon girl or bitch destroyed the rookie of his class in three attacks. The villagers couldn't believe the girl they hated for decades destroyed the strongest genin in the village. Everyone who put their money on the Hyuga were quite pissed. In the stadium, the pink haired teammate of the whiskered Devil Slayer was speechless, her dead-last of teammates beat the strongest genin in a short time with a jutsu she had never seen before, even Naru's fireball overclassed Sasuke's Katon Jutsu. Then everyone started to clap their hands as Naru was surprised by their action and had a frown on her cute face.
''That was so awesome! Naru, did really kick the ass of this prick'' Natsu said happily that Naru completely destroy the Hyuga.
''Aye!''
''She completely owned the Hyuga!'' a civilian shouted.
''That was incredible!''
''She's so cute!''
'...What a bunch of hypocrites, now they like my presence because I win? Pieces of trash' the blond Devil Slayer thought.
'I agree, kit!'
'Naru...You become stronger and stronger than I thought' Sakura thought as she heard someone talking about her teammates.
''That girl is great.''
''She will go very far.''
In the arena, the jonin stares at the blond who simply ignores the clapping for her as she simply walks toward a door with no words.
''Never saw that coming...I thought she would be more happy that everyone would like her fight, guess not'' he said.
''So Natsu-kun, this is what Naru learned in an entire month?'' Ino asked to the Fire Dragon Slayer.
''Yup, with a huge help from me and her shadow clones, or something like that'' he said grinning.
In the balcony, Shikamaru stared at the blond with a young boy next to him and Gaara. Shino Aburame, he has dark, bushy, brown hair and dark, dark sunglasses and a sea-green jacket with a high, upturned collar, brown pants with blue ninja sandals.
''I can't believe it, she won! I assumed she was a slacker like me... troublesome'' Shikamaru said.
''She's quite different than I remember...and very strong...'' Shino said.
''I thought I could beat her, but with her crazy fire Justus, it's pointless and how could she do that?'' Shikamaru added.
''She didn't even use the chakra of the Nine Tails to beat up Hinata's cousin...I like her'' said a beautiful young woman with raven locks reaching her upper back, and very unique eyes that were red in color, with an additional ring in them. She wore make-up consisting of red lipstick and purple eye shadow. Her regular outfit consisted of a red mesh armor blouse with only the right sleeve visible. Overall, this is very broad material which resembled bandages with a pattern on it similar to those of rose thorns. Her hands and upper thighs were also wrapped in bandages and she wore the Konoha forehead protector and regular shinobi sandals.
''Yeah, everyone here is surprised, they never saw a ninja manipulate fire at that degree'' said a tall man, with brown eyes, short, black spiky hair, and a beard. His clothing consisting of the standard Konoha ninja uniform with the sleeves rolled up half way, flak jacket, regular shinobi sandals and forehead protector. He also wore a sash that had the kanji for Fire marked on it around his waist, a pair of black bangles and bandages wrapped around the arms of his sleeves.
''That's true, I wonder who she learned that from. Kakashi?''
''No, Kakashi train Sasuke Uchiha and she really changed from months ago, She didn't hold back when she beat down Neji'' he remarked.
''I don't see where the problem is, he deserved what happened to him, Asuma'' she said coldly.
''You don't say that because he almost killed your student, are you, Kurenai?''
''I don't see what you're talking about'' the jonin said trying to change the subject.
''That prick deserved what he got! He's lucky that Naru was just playing with him, even she left some marks'' Natsu said as the jonin and the genin stares at him.
''What do you mean, playing with him, and who are you?'' Asuma asked.
''Naru was holding back the entire time and I'm Natsu Dragneel, a friend of Naru, problem with that?'' he said with a glare.
''No, it's just surprising that she had a friend. Are you a ninja?'' Kurenai asked.
''Not really, but I can use chakra and this is my summon, Happy'' Natsu lied. Nobody would believe him if he told them that he came from another dimension so Kuruma told him what to say if someone asked him questions.
''Then why aren't you a ninja?'' Sakura asked with normal voice, surprised that someone his age didn't become a shinobi.
''I don't like following orders and death and should I save a village where everyone treats my friend like crap'' Natsu replied with a shrug as Asuma, Kurenai, Ino and Hinata wince at the description of the pink haired boy.
''Aye!''
''That's weird because you look strong but not like Sasuke-kun who's the strongest!'' Sakura said, thinking about her crush as Natsu didn't look impressed and raised an eyebrow.
''Please, what's so fancy about using an eye stealing technique rather than using his own strength plus he couldn't breath fire as I do'' Natsu said.
"Sasuke- kun is strong! You'll see that the Sharingan is not a fool!" Sakura yelled as she defended her not-very-secret crush, but the Fire Dragon Slayer ignored her and with Ino's sensei.
''So you don't want be a ninja because you don't like to follow rules. Can I ask you why?'' Asuma asked with curiosity, normally kids in this age want to be ninja.
''At first, I wanted to be a ninja when someone told me the true definition, I didn't care what people should believe, but I prefer to protect what I care about rather than to die because it was my order. Should I become a mindless drone or rather my own reasons and die for the village is the right thing to do for an all big family? I will do anything for the people that I love, but that doesn't mean I will sacrifice them to protect something'' Natsu said seriously as the Jonin and Genin expect Sakura's eyes widened at his response.
''Aye!''
'I feel something strange inside of him, another will of fire, but not the same as father told me' Asuma thought.
Naru finally joined the genin who stared at her with different thoughts, Naru remarked that the little red haired girl had a giant grin that she found a bit creepy and her fellow classmates had a calculative look.
''You want my picture or what, bug and sloth?'' she said with indifference as another blond from Suna goggles at her remark.
''Troublesome blond, you really did a number on Neji, huh? I almost thought that you want to kill Neji'' Shikamaru said.
''That was my intention, but he was not worthy to see what I really learned'' Naru simply replied as she looked at the red haired girl who stared as well.
'Gaara of the Desert...'
'Naru Uzumaki...'
''That was quite a show, Hokage-sama, your jinchuriki completely destroyed a genius in a short time...and it was a fantastic match after all'' said the Kazekage.
''Indeed, I think she caught everyone off-guard with her fire technique'' 'I wonder how Naru learned to do that, her fire breath was bigger than mine?'
''Of course, but everyone here are most excited by the next match. For every ninja and daimyo, there isn't a match they will never miss'' the Kazekage added. Hiruzen said nothing knowing what reference the Kage of wind talk about.
''But between you and me, I prefer to see what that Uzumaki girl is capable of.''
'By the way, where is he? As a Hokage, I've no choice, but respect the rules if Sasuke Uchiha is not here, but I've to watch for Orochimaru' the third Hokage didn't replied as the crowd began to become impatient. Then Hiruzen said something with one of his guard and before he could go, the Kazekage interrupt him.
''Hokage-dono, please wait a little longer before to do a decision.''
''I beg your pardon, but anyone who doesn't arrive on time, doesn't deserve to be a Chunin, no matter how good they are'' said the Chunin.
''I see...this is more about satisfaction reason'' the Kazekage said as that surprise the two men.
''The majority of the ninja leaders and daimyo are mainly here to see this match and this is an Uchiha we're talking about. The Wind Country also requested that our Gaara had the opportunity to fight him'' the leader of Suna said. The Hokage stared at him and sighed as he turned his head to the Chunin who wait any order.
''Inform the examiner.''
''Yes sir!'' the Chunin disappear and the old Hokage turn his glaze to the Kage of wind.
''it seems odd to see you active for this match, Kazekage.''
''Not at all, they are no better of an opponent than the Uchiha to show off the quality of this village please our clients and it's a great opportunity for us'' the Kazekage said as he return his attention to the arena.
''Ladies and Gentlemen! The contestant for the next match hasn't arrived yet! The next match will be pushed and begin the next one!'' the examiner said for almost everyone's surprise except for Naru and the Nine tails who simply rolled at the favoritism for the Uchiha.
'I'm not surprised that they pushed back his fight, even not here they worship his duck-ass' Naru said to his tenant who simply agree with her.
'Damn right! I'm pretty sure that he masturbated with his big ego.'
'Masturbate with what?'' the blond said as the two laughed, but Naru had to cut off their link to hear the next fight.
''The next fight! Kankuro of the Sand and Shino Aburame!''
A young boy began to panic who was wearing a black, baggy, full body suit with a red and yellow circle on the front. He also wears a black hood which covered his head completely, and had cat-like ears and his forehead protector on his forehead. On his face he sported a purple triangular face-paint design.
'This match doesn't matter, Temari had to take my place' he thought as he looked to a young girl who had teal eyes and sandy blonde hair, which is gathered into four consecutive ponytails, a single light purple-colored, off-the-shoulders garment that extended to halfway down her thighs, with a scarlet sash tied around her waist. In addition to incorporating fishnet worn over her shoulders and legs, specifically on her right calf and her left thigh, she also wore her black forehead protector around her neck. The girl named Temari nodded her head.
''I forfeit!''
''This action shocked the genin expect the blond and red hair girl who simply didn't care, then Temari opened her fan behind her back and created a huge wind fly toward the arena. Naru, who saw an opportunity, quickly pushed the lazy black haired boy with her simply almost say that he want to forfeit.
''Troublesome blond, she did that in purpose...''
Then Naru searched Gaara's location who stares as well and she walk toward the door, Naru simply follow her ignoring the beginning of the fight and the look of the two boys who were confused.
''We meet again Naru Uzumaki or I should said the Fire Devil Slayer or cousin'' Gaara said with a little smirk. Naru simply smirk as well.
''So you're the Sand Devil Slayer huh? You seem less psychopath than you look'' Naru asked curious.
''That was just act to the Kazekage didn't any suspicious. You seem less calm and less annoying than one month ago'' Gaara asked, happy in the inside that she can act normal with another Devil Slayer.
''I dropped my mask and you see my true self. You're the jinchuriki of One Tail Shukaku and the daughter of the Sand Devil King...how did you meet your dad?''
''I met daddy when I was five years old. I was alone and he found me because I was the only person who can't sleep, he was interested in me because he saw himself and took care of me. He changed my seal and trained me to use Sand Devil Slayer Magic and sand techniques and taught everything he knew. He was the father I always wanted, crazy, but not enough to turn into a killing machine. He left me three years ago to find his older brother, your father Kuruma. Thanks to him I finally sleep, but I had the play the unstable girl to fool everyone, even my brother and sister and my sperm donor'' she said the last word with venom in her voice.
''You don't like your father?''
''That bastard tried to kill six fucking times, the last time was with my uncle. He don't see me as her daughter, nothing, but a weapon to control. I become the jinchuriki of Shukaku at birth, taking in the same the life as my mother, my siblings don't hate me for that and I don't hate them, but they are scared of me, that don't help sometime I kill for fun'' she said with a cute giggle.
''You seem to care about them, huh?'' Naru always wanted to sibling.
''I don't very much, but they're the only people who I care about with daddy. Unluckily, I don't have friends. They're all scared of my sand'' Gaara said with a sad tone.
''I was in the same position one month ago, but I see my father again with Happy-chan and Natsu-kun'' she blushed at the mention of the Fire Dragon Slayer. ''Thanks to them, I don't feel alone any more. He helped me more than my sensei and teammates did in six months. Even my school teacher takes care of me out of pity, but not Natsu, thanks to him I made two friends in that hellhole'' Naru said smiling thinking about her crush.
''You mean the pink haired boy who smells like a lizard and ember?'' Gaara raised her non-existing eyebrow.
''That's him! He came from the same dimension of our fathers'' the Fire Devil explained.
''So that's why I felt a huge magic energy and a small one. But seven years ago, I felt a lot of magic energy'' Gaara as she tries to remember.
''What you mean a lot?''
''Uncle Kuruma didn't tell you that in they have Tailed Beasts and each of them are the counterpart of the nine Devil Kings in Earthland. Shukaku the Sand King, Matatabi the Hell Queen, Isobu the Sea King, Son Goku the Lava King, Kokuo the Smoke King, Saiken the Acid King, Chomei the Sky King, Gyuuki the Ink King and your father Kuruma the Fire King who is the counterpart of the Nine Tailed Fox'' Gaara explained as Naru was shocked to the core, she didn't ever ask to her tenant since she already knew the answers.
''That explains a lot! That mean... we're cousins!'' she hugged the confused red hair Devil Slayer who was not familiar with hugs.
''I already want to have a cousin and you like that is a plus! Even if you don't have eyebrows and raccoon eyes'' the last remark make the Gaara blush and was offended.
''You can talk with your whiskers, Foxy! Don't judge my raccoon eyes, they're awesome!'' she shouted, embarrassed, but felt something nice inside of her and this is not the crazy tanuki.
''We have our first fight that so exiting but to serious business. You're the person in this exam who can give a challenge, but when you fight my teammate, you can't kill him'' Naru said seriously.
''Why? You care for him?'' she asked.
''I care about him like the way you care about your father. You reason is this village will find a scapegoat and create a war for losing a kekei genkai and I want to destroy his smirk from his myself and I will fight you with my magic.'' Naru said as Gaara glance at her and had a little smirk on her pale face.
''...I accept your term, but we have a problem. You see, my villages alliance with Orochimaru asks to destroy Konoha and the signal is between my fight with the Uchiha'' Gaara said as Naru was surprise and angry at Orochimaru for sealing her chakra, one month ago she screamed at the Hokage for the invasion, but now she didn't give a shit, well except to protect Natsu, Happy, Ino and Hinata.
''I don't care, my loyalty for this villages dies the moment they pull Kuruma inside of me, I just want to protect the ones precious to me. I have an idea. The moment the invasion starts, you go into the forest and then we can fight with no limit, what about that?''
''...I like your plan, I'll play with Sasuke Uchiha and when the invasion start, I'll rush into the forest, sound good to you, Orange Kitsune?'' Gaara said with a challenging grin.
''I like that! Better give a show, Desert Queen'' Naru replied with the same grin and before the sand ninja could reply, they hear the end of the fight.
''We better go and don't forget to protect your friend, everyone will fall asleep from a Genjutsu'' the blond nodded as she did some signs and she brings out a large black fox with amber eyes,
''Hello Naru-sama, what I can do for you?'' asked the fox with kindness.
''Hai Kuro-san, can you do something for me?''
''Anything for you, Naru-sama'' Kuro said, the fox already loves the young blond at the first she summon him.
''Something bad is going to happen and I want you to find Natsu-kun, Happy-kun and two girls next to him and bring them to a safe place?''
''With pleasure'' All the Foxes loved Natsu and Happy for being a friend with Naru and Ara the daughter of the Fox Boss especially Natsu since he was the future mate of the blond Devil Slayer.
''Alright take care of you'' the black fox nodded his head as he disappeared in the shadows and Naru returned to the stadium to see the beating of her teammate.
''Whoa that lazy ass is pretty smart, right Happy'' Natsu exclaimed as he ate chips with Choji Akimichi, a young boy who had spiky, brown hair, swirl marks on his cheeks and a robust physique. He wore a pair of black shorts, a long white scarf, a short-sleeved, green haori, over a light-green shirt with his clan's obligatory kanji for food on it, small, hoop earrings, and his legs and forearms were wrapped in bandages and blue ninja sandals.
''Aye sir!''
''But it sucks that he gave up, but that was a good fight! So Ino, can you tell me why everyone wants to see Sasuke Uchiha?'' Natsu asked.
''Well Sasuke is the strongest genin in our class and the last user to use the Sharingan. He also is an expert user with fire'' the last remark made Natsu smirk.
''The only expert on fire in this village are me and Naru, even the book said that the Uchiha, an innate affinity for Katon, they not master only amateur!'' before Ino could replied, Sakura who listen their conversation screamed to defend her crush.
''Don't talk bad about Sasuke-kun! Just wait and you see what he really is capable of! Ino-pig, why don't you don't defend Sasuke-kun? I thought you liked him too?''
''I never liked him, that was just an act to give you some confidence and why I should after a guy who is always brooding and suck vengeance's dick every second rather than a guy who will smile everyday'' the last remark make Asuma and Kurenai happy and proud and the insult make Hinata giggles and laugh for Natsu and Choji. Ino looked the Fire Dragon Slayer who laughed, showing his white teeth with large canine teeth. She had a little pink blush on her cheeks, unknowing for her Hinata and Naru have huge envy to hurt someone.
Before the pink haired young girl could scream, a whirlwind of wind appear in the middle of the arena. When the whirlwind died out, revealing Kakashi Hatake with a young boy with pale skin, spiky black hair that takes the shape of duck-butt with chin-length bangs that parted down to frame both sides of his face. Black eyes, he wore a black, one-pieced with many small arm-belts adorning his left arm and similar bands around both legs and black shinobi sandals.
''Sorry we're late..'' Kakashi said with a carefree voice.
''Your name?'' the examiner said with disinterest.
''Sasuke Uchiha...'' the raven haired boy said.
''This is so lame! I see entrances better than that'' Natsu said, bored. He looked at the Uchiha and found nothing special about him that was cool.
''Aye! Even Macao could do better!'' the blue cat agreeing with Natsu.
''I can't believe I played as a the fan-girl for him'' Ino said, embarrassed.
''It's Sasuke-kun'' said a male voice. Everyone turn their toward the source of the voice and saw Lee.
''Lee!'' they shouted expect Natsu who narrow his eyes as he looked the eyebrows the boy.
'Those eyebrow are super huge! How is that possible?'
''You are pretty lucky that everyone wanted to see your match, Kakashi don't tell me you taught this kid to be late?''
''Of course not, but I didn't see the time'' the Jonin rubbed his neck. The Uchiha who stay quiet look around him and said.
''Naru Uzumaki...did she pass her match?'' he asked, to the Jonin surprise.
''Hell yeah, she totally owned the Hyuga in one minutes'' the examiner said as Sasuke had small smirk on his face. Then, Sasuke tried to find the location of his opponent and Gaara gave a smile that showed her pointed teeth and canines that promised a lot of pain, Kankuro and Temari, her siblings, remarked the expression on their little sister.
''Hey, Gaara, you remember about the plan right?'' Kankuro asked with distrust in his voice.
''Don't talk to her or you will be killed!'' the teal eyed blond put her hand on Kankuro's mouth as she gives a glance Gaara's eyes. Surprising for her, she some emotion in her blue eyes rather the psycho look she always had.
''Don't worry, Kankuro, you have nothing to worried about'' she replied with neutral tone and leaves the balcony to go in the arena.
''She called me by my name!''
''She didn't even threaten you and didn't say that she would kill you'' Temari said, shocked as well.
In the stadium, Sakura couldn't hold her excitement to finally see Sasuke start his match, when Natsu still stared at the eyebrows of Lee and Gai, Happy talked with Ino and Hinata. They all turn their heads when they see Kakashi appear from nowhere.
''Kakashi/Kakashi-sensei!'' they shouted except Natsu who stared at the man.
'So this is the famous scarecrow, huh? He didn't look very strong, but it's just a camouflage. Even he's a teacher' Natsu thought.
''Hey, Gai, and you too, Lee, you look good. Oh and sorry Sakura for not contacting you, but it seems like you made a new friend after all'' Kakashi said as he looked at the young Dragon Slayer who stared at him, Gai and Lee turn their head to the new boy who they didn't see before.
''I'm not her friend. I'm a friend of Naru, you know the student who you left for a guy who despises her'' Kakashi ignored the last part, much focusing on the word 'friend'.
''You're a friend of Naru? Since when? I have never seen you before'' the gray haired Jonin asked and in the same time remarked a lot men with different white masks.
''I don't live in Konoha and why don't just you ask Naru. Oh right, you didn't bother to pay attention to her so why you'll waste your time with her since she doesn't possess any bloodline or special techniques'' Natsu with sarcasm in his voice that only a very dumb person couldn't understand. Kakashi flinched as he remembered the last time he saw the little blond. He know he was not the best sensei in the world, but after the exam, he would try to catch up with his two other students...how wrong he was.
Gaara arrived in the stadium with Sasuke and the exterminator. Sasuke glared at her with an unusually calm glaze as Gaara simply watching him in disinterest, the Uchiha remarked and narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth.
'Why didn't they expel that brooding emo, the only person in this damn exam is Uzumaki' the raccoon eyed girl thought.
'Don't worry, sand fellow! Give a little spoiler to that vixen and that damn Kitsune-baka and she said you can't kill him, but didn't say not torture him'' Shukaku said as Gaara loved his idea, that didn't happen very often.
'See, crazy Tanuki, if you think straight, you can have good ideas' she said with an inner teasing grin. Then she return her attention to the real world. The examiner give the signal to start the fight. Quickly Gaara opened her gourd as sand erupted. Sasuke pushed himself far away from Gaara thinking she would use her sand to attack him, but to everyone's surprise and his, she ate the sand as her gourd changed to sand as well.
'She...eats sand?''
''What the hell! She eats her sand!'' Sakura yelled as the siblings of the Sand Devil Slayer was thinking the same thing.
''Natsu, she eats sand!'' Happy shouted.
''I'll ask her about what sand tastes like'' Natsu replied as everyone around him looked at him as if he was crazy, unknown to them, Naru had the same idea.
''This will be over in three minutes, so, Brooding emo, show me what you learned in the past month with that scarecrow'' Gaara said with a challenging smirk.
''What happen to her? Gaara never look so sane...I think that the first time speaking without mentioning the demon Shukaku'' Kankuro muttered in Temari's ear.
''I don't either, but I prefer this Gaara'' she replied as the Uchiha launched three shuriken at her little sister, who rather to use her sand as usual, using her hand to block the attack by catching them with great speed to everyone's surprise. Then Sasuke rushed at her with huge speed, but Gaara didn't do anything, Sasuke jumped into the air, preparing to attack, but the little red girl threw back the shuriken. Sasuke launched another three shuriken as they clashed each other, after the raven young boy vanished from Gaara's vision and reappeared on her right side who he threw a kick. Gaara simply blocked the kick with her fist as Sasuke used his other arm to strike at her neck, but unfortunately for him, Gaara blocked that as well, but Sasuke spun himself and used his entire palm to strike at her chest. In a blink of an eye, Gaara let out a heavy punch to Sasuke's stomach that sent him flying across the arena.
''You can use Taijustu? How is that possible? You only use your sand to attack and defend yourself?'' Sasuke growled in pain as he held his stomach.
''Well ninjas have their secrets, don't tell me the Academy forgot to teach you that'' she sneered.
The Uchiha only snorted as he rushed at great speed and rose his right fist. When he was a short distance from her face, he vanished and came behind her, ready to strike, but to his surprise, Gaara blocked his fist from behind. Then, Gaara put the Uchiha in front of her and with her other hand she was about to strike when her arm were covered with a skin of light brown sand with blue mark and hit Sasuke's face.
''Sand Devil's Hard Slash!'' the blow of sand sent Sasuke flying as he hit the wall with a great impact, feeling one or two of his ribs broken.
''She used sand to covered her fist rather then to use long-range and her speed is comparable to Lee's'' Maito Gai said. A tall and well-built man with high cheek-bones, thick eyebrows and black hair cut in a bowl style. Guy wears a green jumpsuit, orange striped leg warmers and the standard Konoha flak jacket, though it's normally unzipped, his forehead protector is on a red cloth and is worn around his waist, like a belt.
''I wonder why, when she fought Lee in the preliminary fight, she didn't use that technique earlier rather to crush his limbs'' Kurenai wondered, like everyone who was there except Natsu and Happy.
''Naru can use a combination of Nintaijutsu with fire and now another one can do the do the same thing with sand? I'll not be surprised if she breathed sand as well'' Asuma said.
'Naru can use fire the same style of the Fourth Raikage and I didn't teach her anything? I'm such a failure as a sensei...'
In the arena, Sasuke rised as he held his body and gave a glared the red girl who had a challenging smirk. Sasuke didn't understand what was happening. He had trained for an entire month to beat the armor of sand, but now the psychotic girl who craved his blood became someone who prefers to use her hands to fight rather than to manipulate.
''Come on, can't you do better than that?'' she taunted him as he growled in anger. His opponent taunted him, the last loyal Uchiha. Furious, Sasuke launched himself at the red haired Devil Slayer as he ran at a great speed around and when he was in front of her, he sent a kick that he dodged effortlessly and quickly Sasuke send a series of punches and kicks that was familiar for Gaara.
'He used the same fighting as that guy who had the big eyebrows. Only he had a big ego, but he needed to steal the techniques of his follow ninja? Hmpf, that do to posses any pride...' she thought as her face turned to disgust as she created a giant sandstorm around her.
''You have no shame, Uchiha! To copy the training of someone rather than creating your own? What a disgrace...Sand Devil's Kalahari Storm!'' the sandstorm expanded and pushed away the Uchiha with great force, the spectators covered their eyes from the dangerous storm of light brown sand.
'Damn it! She can create a sandstorm...that's so cool dattebane!' Naru thought excited to fight her fellow Devil Slayer.
Sasuke was panting like hell, the sandstorm made took some damage on him and use a lot of his stamina when he used Taijutsu. Without any option, he jumped backward until he got up on the wall in a high altitude and made some signs until he generated a sphere of chakra which was visible until it changed to look like a sphere of electricity with a sound reminiscent of many birds chirping. His entire arm was covered with blue sparks of lightning, Sasuke rushed at her with an incredible speed, running from the long wall to the ground. When he touched the ground, the last Uchiha disappeared in a blur to Gaara was still inside the sandstorm. At that moment, Sasuke almost reached his opponent, the civilians began to fall asleep and some men in black cloth began to move as well. At the same time, Sasuke got passed the huge sandstorm without any problem, but even his Sharingan, he couldn't see very well, but knowing that he's going to the red girl will not have the same time to dodge, feeling something hard, he put his technique as he believe the chest of the sand ninja.
''Chidori!''
The sandstorm disappeared, everyone in the stadium could see perfectly now, but to their biggest shock and for the Uchiha, the sand ninja Devil Slayer looked perfectly fine, but changed as well, her entire skin changed to a light brown color similar to her sand with blue marks on her body. Also a hole at the location who Sasuke who put his jutsu. Then Sasuke released a very loud scream as the bones of his hand was completely broken into many pieces, he held his fractured hand and her laugh of the red hair girl.
''AHHH! Never saw that coming, huh? It will take a more powerful Raiton jutsu to pierce my Sand Devil's Tanuki Fur. You entertained me longer than I expected, Sasuke Uchiha, but the only person who I want to fight is your teammate, Naru Uzumaki'' hearing the name of his blond teammate shocked Sasuke to the core.
''What do you want with her?'' he asked.
''Feeling protective of her? That's so cute, but unfortunately, she don't give a shit about you. She will give me a better fight than that'' she said as the raven haired genin was surprised that his blond rival didn't care about him and for the first time since that infamous event, he felt something that he would never feel again, worried that what she said is actually true and since he hadn't see her teammate since the preliminarily.
In the stadium, the spectators didn't expect the Uchiha to be to losing to the fight, Kakashi couldn't believe that even with the training Sasuke had, he couldn't win his fight as Gaara didn't use her capacities. His attention change when he saw feathers appear in the all stadium as almost everyone fall asleep.
''Kakashi this is a Genjutsu'' Gai said.
''Yeah this Genjutsu...'' the jonin nodded their head as the same sign in the same time. Sakura who was feel the Genjutsu do the same sign.
''Kai!''
Naru in the balcony also felt the Genjutsu, but didn't break it since the Nine Tails disrupted the flow of the chakra and waiting the next movements of the red haired Devil Slayer who dropped her spell. Then she heard an explosion at the Kage position and in the four sides of the village. After, she saw a huge crimson barrier in the Kage position and could smell the scent of snake.
'That bastard is with the old man. I may go if that old fool didn't to trick me and put this loyalty seal on me, but the most important is my fight with Gaara. Kuruma can I count on you' she said to the giant fox who was shocked by hearing his birth-name.
'How do you know?' he asked.
'Don't play dumb with me, I know you listened to my conversation with the Raccoon girl, so are you with me or not?'
'Hmph! How can I be sure that you won't stab me in the back and are only interested in my power like everyone that I've met in my life? Always the same bullshit, using my power without asking first and never thanking me, my first was a real bitch, she didn't treat as a person only a source of power with not emotion so tell me why should I trust you? That I say to you if the me from the another dimension didn't raise but since your prove you the opposite I glad to tell you and me kit are partner so better not lose!'
'You can just said of course but I understand what you mean. No I meet before Sasuke do, knowing he want a rematch and no way I will save that emo!'
''You take words from my mouth kit...I so proud of you!'' the kitsune said with anime tears. Naru sweat-dropped as she saw Kankuro, Temari and their sensei Baki join the side of Gaara.
''Gaara are you alright?'' Kankuro asked with distrust.
''Never felt better!'' she said grinning as her sibling was surprise.
''Gaara, you grinned! This is the first time I've seen you grin'' Temari said bluntly. In a fraction of second, she expected that the sand of her little sister would crush her, but nothing came out.
''This is a beginning for everything'' she shrugged.
''Are you really our little sister or is it just an illusion" Kankuro said.
''We have no time for that! Gaara you have to transform now!'' Baki said. Gaara simply stared at him for a couple of seconds before she turned around and gave a last glance.
''Screw the invasion! The only reason I said yes is because to find another person like me and I found her. Naru Uzumaki and I will fight further and if you triy to stop me, You know the consequences'' Gaara said with a cold tone with killing intent. The jonin was shocked by the killing intent and nodded his head as he turn his toward the other siblings.
''You two stay with Gaara and don't interrupt her fight with the genin Uzumaki. I'll join the fight'' he said as he turn at the examiner and three genin of the Sand take the opportunity to leaves.
''Is the leader of this party Orochimaru?''
''Who knows? Let's just join the fun...'' Before they could attack each other, the Uchiha distracted them.
''Hey! What going on?''
''Sorry the Chunin exam is over. I'm going to say that if you want to pursue them, go ahead, but you can't beat her. Uzumaki, can I trust you to do this task? You're already above the Chunin level so this will not be a problem'' the examiner said as Sasuke was confused until he saw his blond appear in tornado of flames and he saw the most beautiful person that he ever saw.
''Understood..'' Naru nodded with a serious expression on her cute face. Before she could go in the direction of the three sand ninja, Sasuke called her name.
''Dobe, is that really you? You...changed very much...'' He expected some loud answer coming from the blond, but the answer made his black heart cry.
''Hn'' she said as she rushed toward the direction of the target.
''She barely noticed me...''
In the forest of Konoha, the three ninja of Suna jumped on the three until they stop and see Naru Uzumaki stand in front of them with a calm face.
''So you finally came, Uzumaki. I almost wondered if you could catch up'' Gaara said as she crossed her arms.
''Sorry, but I was being followed by a Sound ninja, I took care of them, of course'' she replied, smirking.
''Of course you would, but since we're far away from the village so we can finally start our fight'' Gaara said, her siblings giving her space.
''Before we can start, Shino I know you're there. I smell your bug scent on my shirt'' Naru spoke loudly as Shino appear from nowhere.
''Your sense of smell is quite superior to Kiba's, but I'm to have my fight with this guy here'' Shino said as he pointed Kankuro.
''Be my guest, but you're to go somewhere else to fight since I'm about to fight'' Naru exclaimed as she didn't look at him.
''Kankuro go somewhere with the bug guy, things here will get messy'' her older brother nodded as him and Shino disappeared, leaving the three female ninja.
''I've been waiting for this moment for many years. You will be the first person who will witness, with my sister, my true power, just don't disappoint me if you can't keep up. Temari go somewhere further, you'll be in the way'' Gaara said as her arms were covered with light brown sand and blue marks. Temari quickly went to a place where she could see the fight as the blond whiskered girl was covered with fire.
''Don't disappoint me, Orange Kitsune!'' Gaara yelled as she rushed at Naru and raised her right arm.
''Same to you, Desert Queen!'' Naru yelled back as she charged as well with her arm covered with fire.
''Fire Devil's Blaze Fist!''
''Sand Devil's Hard Slash!''
At that moment, the two fists of fire and sand connected, creating a huge shock-wave of magic that sent them across the forest. Temari couldn't believe the force of the two attacks. Then Naru quickly got up to her feet on a branch and vanished, reappearing in front of Gaara and dealt a blow of fire that sent her flying as she used a tree to propel herself and transform her right hand into a giant arm of sand with blue veins and big spikes.
''Sand Devil's Demonic Arm!'' Naru easily dodge the attack by jumping from the tree but at the moment touch the tree, the tree shattered in two to Naru's surprise.
''This attack can break a big tree? So cool!''
''This is the beginning! Sand Devil's Sahara Sand Drizzle!'' she launched a barrage of a large sand bullet at the Fire Devil Slayer. Naru saw the attack and evaded with difficulty and ignited her feet, sending an attack on Gaara's head.
''Fire's Devil's Crimson Slash!'' the powerful kick didn't make the Sand Devil Slayer flinch, then she grabbed the blond's ankle and sending her into the ground. Naru crashed into the ground, leaving a crater as she raised her head to see the red haired Slayer mage charging at her with her giant spiky fist of hard sand and magic. Naru raised herself as she dodged the huge blow by Gaara and released a fireball from her hand. Gaara saw the fireball coming at her and she slashed it in two, however she didn't the blond coming at her and sent a hard kick of fire that pushed her away.
''Not bad, you mastered the basic. I think it's time go to the next level and don't forget we can use both charkra and magic'' Gaara exclaimed as she wipe some blood off her inferior lip.
''I just getting started, queen of sandbox'' Naru taunted as Gaara's skin became light brown with blue veins. ''Sand Devil's Tanuki fur!''
'Shit, this spell! Her defense is much stronger and physical attacks as well...but if the temperature of my flames are quite high, I can turn her sand into glass' the cute blond thought as she rushed at her, left fist extended. Naru blocked the blow with her arm, gritting in pain, the blow left a bruise on her as Gaara sent a kick, Naru dodged, but the kick hit a tree that created high air pressure.
Then, Naru quickly responded by aspiring the air around her and releasing a huge shock-wave of flames and air pressure. ''Fire Devil's Blazing Shock-wave!'' the huge wave of magic hit the red Devil Slayer, some part of her turning to glass as Naru sent a flaming punch to Gaara's face that blew her away, then the whiskered blond tackled the sand ninja to the floor and sent a kick to her stomach that sent Gaara flying, but Gaara quickly recovered. She created a mist of sand in front of her which changed to become a lot of projectiles.
''Sand Hot Lance!'' a barrage of lances made with sand charge against the blond who made a sign and puffed her whiskered cheeks. ''Katon: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!'' she threw a large amount of small fireballs that exploded at the contact with the lances of sand. Thinking of the occasion, Naru puffed her cheeks and gathered magic and chakra in her mouth. Gaara did the same action and the two Devil Slayer released their breath attack.
''Fire Devil's Rage!''
''Sand Devil's Rage!''
A huge blast of orange fire clashed with a huge blast of dust, air, and sand, collapsing each other and create a huge explosion of magic, blowing away and burning the trees around them. Temari, who watched the match from the start was completely shaken up. Her little sister not very psycho and a killer, but created more damage with the sand. She watched the gigantic explosion with amazement. Unknowingly for her, she was not the only person who watched the show.
Sasuke searched the location of his teammate and the sand ninja. He first searched a bunch of unconscious ninja of the sound covered with burnt marks, expecting that Naru's strange Katon jutsus did it. But what really helped him was the explosion that he saw minutes ago.
''Is that Naru who did that? I need get there fast'' the Uchiha said as he put more chakra into his feet.
''Damn that was a hell of a nap'' Natsu said he finally wake up from the Genjutsu at the stadium. He turned his head to Kuro who was in shadow mode. This summon having to be able to travel faster than any ninja, thanks to the shadows and decided to only take the Fire Dragon Slayer since he had the capacity to help their summoner and future mates.
''Thanks, shadow buddy, your shadow travel is quite awesome! But I will take care of things here, return to Happy, Hina and Ino, you need to make sure they're safe'' Natsu said seriously as the black fox nodded before he could disappear.
''Natsu-sama, please watch yourself and make sure Naru-sama is safe'' the Fire Dragon Slayer nodded his head as the fox turned into shadow and disappeared. Then Natsu located the smell of his blond friend and saw the explosion.
''Whoa, this so huge! Naru is clearly surpassing me and the raccoon girl too... Gotta finish slacking around, I'll train very hard to be at their level!'' Natsu said with determination as he went to their location.
The explosion disappeared, showing the two Devil Slayer covered with bruises and torn clothes. Gaara's sand skin was broken in many place with part made of glass because of the extreme heat. She missed the parts of her pants and sleeve. Naru lost her top, showing a black tank top and her black stoking had many holes.
''Its been awhile since someone put me this far, you truly a very good opponent, Uzumaki, and your flames are hotter than I've ever felt.''
''Thanks, but my friend, Natsu, has pretty hot flames too'' Naru added with a smile.
''Your friend, huh? I think he's more than a friend to you'' she said with a teasing smirk. Knowing what she meant, Naru's whiskered cheeks turned red as well.
''I don't know what you're talking about and why at the start of the Chunin Exam, you played the unstable girl who liked to kill?'' Naru asked, changing the conversation.
''Hn...Before I met daddy, everyone treated me like the worst trash and they're scared of me. The Kazekage, my biological father, put a Tailed Beast into me to make a weapon rather than a daughter and because of that, my mother died as well. My siblings were scared of me for what I am and can do with the sand. Our uncle took care of me until he tried to kill me since I killed mother when I was born rather to become the emotionless weapon that the Kazekage wanted, I met daddy Shukaku and was raised as his own kid. I did tried to make friends after that, but everyone was scared of me and wanted me dead, some men tries to rape me, my father easily killed them. I gave up making friends and put a mask of the insomniac girl who enjoyed the blood of her victims until you arrived and I never felt better'' the Sand Devil Slayer said as Naru and her sister listened.
''But what about your siblings?''
''What?''
''I know the people of a village can be really stupid and ignorant, but at least your family doesn't hate you'' Naru said as she remarked the expression on the red hair girl changed to an angry one.
''Why should I trust them? I tried one time and they're scared of me because I have a fucking Beast inside me! What happened if I told them that I can use magic as well or should I forgive the villagers also'' she said sarcastically.
''Your siblings were young back then and even if they're scared of you, they didn't leave your side! I didn't say to forgive those assholes! I prefer to care for little numbers of people rather than to trust and protect a bunch of unknown people. Do you know how many that I trust in this world? Four. Daddy fur-ball, Natsu-kun and Happy-chan and my foxes' summons'' Naru yelled as she ignited her arm with fire.
''So I think this is the wrong place and time to talk about that, playtime is over'' Gaara said as she rushed with her fist at Naru who copied her action. Then the two slammed their elementals fists at each other's faces that created another explosion. The explosion separated them as they launched each other a barrages of fist at great speed. Then Naru's nails became longer and sharper sending a large of attack similar to the Inuzuka clan. ''Fire Devil's Phantom Fox Claw Barrage!''. Gaara was able to dodge some of her claw attacks, but she was touched several times and she didn't see the blond send a punch coming to her face.
''Fire Devil's Blaze Fist!'' the punch of fire sent her flying as Naru jumped in the air and ignited her feet with fire, but as she hit ground, Gaara was able to dodge the kick, but failed to see the sneaky attack of the blond as she took another blow of fire. Furious, Gaara used her elbow covered with hard sand to strike Naru's face. Then she ran at her as she was about to strike. Naru blocked again with her elbow and kicked her again with her fist that created an explosion of fire. Gaara protected herself as she dodged a fire punch and she hit Naru's face, sending her flying. Then Gaara created a massive amount of sand in the form of a wave coming from the ground by the movement of her wrist.
''Sand Devil's Waterfall Flow!''
Naru, who saw the huge wave of sand, quickly created a giant wave of fire that became a storm of orange flame at the same size of Gaara's attack by the movement of their wrists. ''Fire Devil's Ninetails Storm!'' The huge wave of sand transformed to a giant wall of glass. As the giant wall of glass begun to shatter in many pieces, the Devil Slayers jumped to the tree as they reached the branches and jumped in the air, exchanging a multitude of blows at a great speed. Temari only saw blur that created impacts until she saw the young girls head-butt each other, causing her forehead to bleed and fire a powerful blast of concentrated magic.
''Fire Devil's Cero!''
''Sand Devil's Cero!''
A large sphere of orange and light brown collapses and a massive, bright explosion of magic comes. This explosion clearly took out a huge part of the forest as many big trees were destroyed at the contact of the explosion.
Naru and Gaara stared at each other, at the same time panting, each girl was equal with spell and started to feel their magic drain and they couldn't find a source of their elements to charge up.
'I can't believe she pushed me this far. I can't use the Devil Force since I haven't mastered it yet. My only option is to use a Secret Art, but I can only use one...Shukaku I need to borrow your Chakra' she said to her tenant.
'Finally! My time to smell the sweat scent of air has finally arrived! ALSO, I COULD FINALLY CRUSH THAT BAKA KITSUNE!' the mad Tanuki yelled as Gaara sweat-dropped at his antic.
''Shut up! I'm only needing your chakra, you freaking lunatic!'' the tanuki pouted as Gaara's entire body was covered in sand until the sand took the form of a gigantic sandy-brown colored tanuki, with black (dark blue in the anime) cursed seal markings all over its face, body, and tail. It has a jagged, concave mouth and the scleras of its eyes are black, with yellow irides and pupils that each takes the shape of a black four-pointed star with four black dots around it.
''You're a very good opponent, Orange Kitsune, but I'll not lose this fight! You see, this is my ultimate technique!'' Gaara yelled as Naru's widened as the current transformation of the little red haired Slayer.
'Shit, she's serious! The only option is to summon Inari the fox boss to equal the ground. Kurama give me your chakra' she asked to her tenant.
'You will really summon the Fox Boss! The goddess for all the kitsune...right away!'' the Tailed Beast give a portion of his chakra that the blond used the signs for summoning.
''Summoning Jutsu!'' a large cloud of smoke covered the forest and when the smoke died out, a gigantic fox appear. The fox was with orange markings on her back legs, orange tips on her long ears, fur and eyelids. She had three orange whiskers like her summoner with amber eyes and black scleras. Nine long white tails and her claws were crimson.
''Are you the boss summon?'' Naru asked as the giant fox giggled.
''You're quite right, Naru-chan. I'm Inari the the leader of the foxes and Emerald Forest. Ara-chan told me everything about you and your future mate'' the fox summon said with a feminine teasing voice.
''Natsu-kun is not my mate! We're just friends...even sometimes I hoping for more'' she said, blushing as the white giant fox chuckled.
''So young and have already found love, to be a full member of your clan, you need to show your mate to see if he's worthy, but it seems this is not the best time to talk about that'' the fox said as she looked the giant Tanuki of sand in front of her.
''Yes! You see, I'm fight the jailer of Shukaku and the sand Devil Slayer as well. Also I used almost all my chakra and my magic and even if I eat fire, this will not be enough, but I have a plan!'' she explained.
''I could easily end this fight, but I will follow your plan. Tell me what I can do for you.''
''Do the most damage you can, hot flames can change her sand to glass and at that moment I launch my most powerful attack'' 'I didn't master this one and the other takes too much energy even with chakra...This is my only hope to win' she thought as the giant kitsune was ready to move and she covered her entire body with flame.
''Whoa those feel so warm and they taste so good!'' Naru said as she ate Inari's flames. Inari rushed at the giant tanuki of sand with great speed and ignited her claw on fire and launched a slash on Gaara. Before Gaara could do anything, the blow tore off her left arm of sand and Inari was already far away.
''You bitch, you dare to cut my arm!''
''Please, this is not your real arm!'' Naru yelled back.
''But it still hurt, you know!'' the Sand Devil Slayer said as she took a deep breath, and then pounded its stomach, releasing a large bullet of air.
''Futon: Drilling Air Bullet!''
Inari jumped in the air, dodging the air bullet as the attack of air did a lot of damage. After, she launched a multitude of very large fireballs from her mouth, Gaara saw the fireballs coming at her and released another bullet of air. The two attacks collided with each other, creating a huge explosion, thanks to this diversion, the giant white kitsune used of her tail and grabbed the blond and threw her at such speed that when you blinked, she was gone.
''This is your chance Naru-chan! Throw your attack!'' Inari yelled as Naru nodded her head and with her right hand create a large orange sphere with four big points, causing it to take the shape of a giant fuma shuriken. Gaara, who didn't see the blond Devil Slayer felt a huge amount of magic and chakra in front of her and when the explosion died out. She saw Naru with a strange looking attack.
'Shit, I can't dodge and I can't turn back! This transformation and those spells take more magic than I thought' before Gaara could respond, Naru launched her spell at the giant tanuki's head.
''Devil Slayer Secret Art: Phantom Fox: Red Lotus Flaming Slash!'' the moment when the attack touched the giant Tanuki of sand, a giant explosion of fire enveloped Gaara, who released a cry of pain as the rest of the body turned to glass and shattered into many pieces. Naru, who watched the damages of her spell, simply smiled as she saw the other Devil Slayer falling as well, barely conscious. Then at the moment she touched the ground, a large fireball went her direction and transformed to her pink haired best friend.
''Natsu-kun!...Is that really you?'' Naru asked with hope.
''Of course it's me, Fox Girl! You expect a brooding duck to catch you?'' Natsu raise a eyebrow.
''...But how did you find me and why did you catch me?''
''You silly Kitsune, you think I won't not watch your fight and you're my best friend and I'll find you with my nose not because of the annoying scent'' he replied blushing as he touch the ground with the Sand Devil Slayer. Naru only replied by cuddling into Natsu's chest as the two didn't acknowledge the giant fox who stared with a smile and the Uchiha who stared at the scene with envy and jealousy against the Fire Dragon Slayer.
''How dare he...the only person who to be close with Dobe is me...'' he muttered to himself.
Chapter 4 is finish, I hope that you like this fight. Next Chapter will deal about Naru and Gaara's after-fight, The search for Tsunade and Sasuke confront the Fire Slayers. I saw Avengers: Age of Ultron and that was so awesome...even some people can't enjoyed a good Marvel Movie.
