----July 21, 8:23 AM, Underground Arena----

There was a short break after the last match when Itachi, though inwardly very amused by what Ino did, asked if what Ino did was legal. He was dissappointed that Kiba, his most powerful team member, was taken down so easily by a nice pair of tits, and made a mental note to give Kiba some special training to control himself. He was also mad at himself that he hadn't taken the powerful Inuzuka sexdrive into account during training. Sarutobi had allowed it, though unusual, it was a legal tactic.

Chouji Akimichi -vs- Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke jumped down from the catwalk, crossed to his place and waited for Chouji. "Try to give me a decent challenge." Sasuke said confidently.

Chouji just nodded and took a slightly modified basic Taijutsu stance. (like a defensive boxing stance) When the proctor gave the signal he didn't move, just watched Sasuke closely as he gathered and focused his chakra. He knew he was no match for Sasuke's speed, and if not for some advice from Naruto and Guy-sensei's special training he propbably would of used his Human Boulder Jutsu right away. He had two advantages over Sasuke he hoped would be enough. He was bigger and much stronger, but that didn't mean much unless he could get close. The one advantage he had over almost everyone was his chakra reserves, even at the Academy he had at least double what nearly everyone else did, he had to out last Sasuke, then he had a chance.

Naruto watched intently. 'Come on Chouji, you can do it.' Naruto thought. He saw Sasuke suddenly leap almost thirty feet in the air, pull five kunai from both weapon pouches and throw all ten at Chouji. 'His aim is off those won't.... oh shit it's a trap!' Naruto thought as he saw them. He saw Chouji block the only two kunai actually thrown at him with what were obviously heavy armor bracers under his sleeves, the rest stuck in the ground around him. Before Sasuke even landed he saw Chouji look down when he heard the exploding tags attached to them burning but before he could do much but cover up they exploded and blew Chouji off his feet where he crashed hard near the wall. As Sasuke came down he recognized the hand signs Sasuke was doing, then he landed, took a breath and blow a big fireball at Chouji as he was getting up stunned but not out of it. If Chouji wasn't built as solid as he was now thanks to his and now Guy's physical training he definately would of been knocked out. Chouji didn't react like he thought when he saw the fireball coming, Chouji ran straight into it and crossed hs arms in front of his face before he hit it. It exploded and to his, and everyone elses surprise, Chouji burst from the smoke a moment later, apparently not even slowed down.... then he noticed how Chouji looked and smiled. 'He's using the Stone Armer Jutsu, he had to of been saving that for later. It's not as good as Bull's, his ability to use Earth jutsu is almost a kekkei-genkai, one of his relatives must of been a Rock nin, he's only the second generation born in Konoha.' He snapped out of his thoughts when he saw the mild surprise on Sasuke's face, and when Chouji got close threw a surprisingly fast punch, unfortunatly for Chouji Sasuke was faster, did a front flip over him and knocked Chouji face first to the ground with a thunderous heel kick, pulled five more kunai, all with exploding tags on them, threw them around Chouji then leapt back, just as Chouji got to his hands and knees they went off. When the smoke cleared Chouji was out and most of his Stone Armor had fallen off. "He was close, I hope he did well enough to get promotited." Naruto said.

"Winner, Sasuke Uchiha." Gekki said and coughed.

Sasuke returned to the catwalk as three medics carried Chouji away to check him for injuries. Guy smiled, very brightly, when Sasuke complimented him on training Chouji, he'd been tougher than Sasuke had expected, which he actually liked. What Sasuke didn't like was the glares and threats from everyone on the catwalk with him, Genin and Jounin, when Guy went into one of his 'fires of youth' speeches because of his comment.

When the arena was cleared a few minutes later the names appeared for the next match.

Shino Aburame -vs- Naruto Uzumaki

"Thank Kami!" Naruto exclaimed and jumped over the rail to the arena floor to get away from Guy's speech.

"I agree." Shino said in his monotone voice, but a very subtle hint of joy slipped out. He wouldn't say it, but he was THRILLED to be able to get away from Guy's speech also. He leapt over the rail like Naruto.

Everyone froze in near shock, they'd all heard it, Shino rarely spoke, so when he did it was something to hear, they'd heard it in his voice, but only because they knew him so well, emotion!. A moment later most started to laugh.

----Medic Station, Room 2----

"Thank you Hinata, I'm very grateful for your kindness and I hope Naruto will help me." Temari said sincerely from her knees in front of Hinata, then she saw Hinata move to leave, and for some reason that overwhelmed her common sense, she paniced Standing quickly her hands shot up to grab Hinata's shoulders and stop her from leaving. "Please don't leave me alone Hinata-san I don't want.... dear Kami.... I.... Hinata.... they're so.... full but soft." Temari said stunned, her hands gently. repeatedly squeezing. When she stood she reached for Hinata's shoulders, but never made it, she'd grabbed Hinata huge breasts through her jacket, and was so stunned she couldn't make herself let go, when she finally looked at Hinata's face it was neon red and Hinata was sucking her bottom lip, her eyes closed,. and her body was locked up from shock. Hoping she hadn't just cost Garra his life, as well as her own, she released her firm grip on Hinata's breasts. When she did she saw Hinata's eyes snap open then felt like a dozen exploding tags went off in her panties an instant before everything went black. She woke with a burning, throbbing pain in her pussy and slowly opened her eyes. She knew she was still on the floor, that didn't surprise her, but what she saw actually made her forget about the agony between her legs.... Hinata was staring down at her, and her expression could only be one thing..... "P,p,p,p,please don't kill me Hinata-sama it was an accident." Temari closed her eyes and tensed up for the death blow, she'd heard all about the Hyuuga's Gentle Fist style, they could kill you with a single strike, frying your brain inside your skull, or burst your heart. A moment later she felt small but strong hands on her breasts. 'Oh Kami she's going to burst my breasts!' Temari thought. "G,Go on Hinata-sama.... destroy them.... I deserve it." Temari said submissively. She felt a firm squeeze, then was was released. Surprised, she opened her eyes. "You.... you aren't going to destroy my breasts?"

Hinata looked down at her. "No." Hinata said emotionlessly, she had been angry for a moment, but had let it go. "Stand up." Hinata stated emotionlessly, then watched Temari obey, obviously still terrified. She saw that Temari was still in agony from her knee shot, but was obviously not covering herself out of fear she'd make her madder. "Give me your sports bra and panties." Hinata stated matter-of-factly, as if Temari had no say in it.

Temari immediately stripped and handed the two items to Hinata and put her arms at her sides, feet shoulder width apart.

"You will tell no one what you know about me or Naruto-kun. You are an enemy, but you haven't done anything bad enough for me to kill you, but if anyone I love gets killed by your brother.... I'll do something I'll regret. It's not in my nature to hurt anyone, but I've learned that sometimes a hard lesson is needed." Hinata said emotionlessly, folded Temari's sports bra and panties and put them in her med pouch. "Until I release you, you're my servant, we may become friends one day, but until then, in exchange for your brother's life I own you. I won't hurt you, but you will be punished." Hinata said, took a step back, activated her Byakuugan and struck a dozen tenketsu (chakra points) on Temari's body in a certain order.

Temari flinched but didn't feel any pain, in fact the pain between her legs was suddenly gone. She stood there for a moment trying to figure out what Hinata did to her.... then it hit her, an intense feeling of sexual pleasure was quickly building her her lower belly, it got more intense by the second. Her nipples got hard and she felt another part of her was too.

"You'll feel this way until I release you.... I'll be back later." Hinata said calmly, turned, left the room and shut the door behind her. She called over a medic in the hallway. "No one is to enter this room except me, under my Authority as heir to the Hyuuga Clan."

"Hai, Hinata-sama." The male medic said and bowed.

Hinata turned and headed for the hall to the far side of the Arena where her friends were.

----Underground Arena, 4 minutes Later----

Hinata walked out of the door on the arena floor and quickly, but quietly ran up the stairs and rejoined Naruto. "What did I miss?"

Naruto smiled at Hinata. "Neji and Fuki were picked for the third match, but Fuki gave up right away because of what you did. Then Bull and Shikamaru had a short match that Bull won because Shikamaru gave up, then Ino-chan and Kiba had a short match.... Ino won by flashing her chest, then knocked out Kiba and Akamaru, who was transformed into Kiba, with one move I'll let her tell you about later." Naruto said then heard Ino giggle and Kiba and Akamaru whimper quietly. "Next was Chouji and Sasuke, that was a great match, but Sasuke won, then Shino and I had the longest, best match so far, I finally won when he got low on chakra and had to give up.... then a Grass nin fought a Rock nin, and now the other two are fighting, it's like the same match twice.... and its over just as fast, the Rock nin won this one also."

Hinata looked and nodded. "Anko-sensei, Naruto-kun, Tenten-chan, after the matches are done I need you to join me in the medic station." Hinata said seriously.

Anko looked at Hinata's face and knew that expression, if she was that serious it was important. "Hai."

Sakura Haruno -vs- Fubiki

Sakura was down and in place first, straightened her red shirt, put her shoulder-length pink hair in a ponytail and took her fighting stance. Her opponent was the final Grass nin, the only other kunoichi, besides Temari, not from Konoha, she was looking forward to beating the taller, more developed girl and proving that Konoha had the best kunoichi of any Elemental Country.

Naruto looked past Sakura from the far side where the Grass kunoichi was casually strolling towards Sakura wearing brown pants, long sleeve dark green shirt tied closed with a belt to highlight her figure and a straw hat like the other two had worn, her brown hair flowed down her back to her waist. 'Hmm, bout five seven, can't tell how strong she is with those loose clothes, nice tits though, looks like big C cups.... and pretty firm to. Uh oh, from that look on her face she isn't going to take Sakura-chan seriously, that'd be a mistake.... I just hope she doesn't do or say anything stupid.... but I can't shake this feeling something big will happen.' Naruto thought. "Did anyone encounter them during the last exam?" Naruto asked.

"We did Naruto-kun." Fuki said, quickly walked over to Naruto and stood to Hinata's right leaned on the rail. "We didn't fight them, but we did see'em fight another team on the way to the Tower. She uses a lot of edged weapons, like Tenten-chan, she has them hidden all over her body it looked like the way she was always able to pull a new one."

'Thanks Fuki-chan. She has of good chance of winning if she can keep her distance and not get caught in one of Sakura-chan's Genjutsu." Naruto said quietly to his friends, and saw them nod subtly in agreement. Naruto knew Sakura's style, she was a close to mid-range fighter, and though good with kunai she normally saved them for traps or for one or two big attacks with a bunch of explosive tags attached, both of which she carried a lot of. Well, not as many as Tenten, but no one carried as many weapons as she did. Naruto glanced at Tenten and smirked. He watched closely, the second it started Fubiki threw four kunai at Sakura, who barely managed to duck and roll to her right, pulling two kunai as she stood, one in each hand.

Tenten watched intently, she'd heard what Fuki said, she wanted to be ready in case her friend lost. She watched Sakura and Fubiki exchage several kunai barrages as they sent each other around the arena, shifting her weight from one the other to rub her upper thighs together. She couldn't help herself, kunoichi fighting with weapons excited her.

Tenten's subtle moments didn't go unnoticed though. "Oh Kami look at that tight little ass.... I don't know how much longer I can keep my feelings hidden from her, if she came out then I...."

Kurenai glanced subtly at her student, but kept her smile hidden. "Enjoying the match Ino?"

Ino tensed in suprise for an instant and quickly shifted her gaze to the arena. "Hai, Kurenai-sensei. Come on Sakura, kick her butt!" Ino said and gave Kurenai her best 'I wasn't doing anything' innocent smile.

Kurenai nodded as if she'd been fooled by Ino's fake smile and turned back to watch her other student.

Sakura looked at the kunai in her hands. "Four should be enough to cover me." Sakura said to herself crouched in the shadow of the big hands statue by the Hokage's seat above the arena. She leapt out from her hiding spot and threw the four kunai with exploding tags in a short line 10' in front of the Grass kunoichi, they exploded 2 seconds after impact, just enough time for her to react and cover her face. The instant she landed Sakura ran at the temporarily blinded Grass kunoichi full speed and sent her flying into the far wall with a powerful overhand right to the chest, right between the bigger girl's ample breasts. As the dust cloud settled Sakura watched her slumped against the wall, and smiled. "That should....".Sakura said then gasped when the girl shook her head and stood up, her left arm over her chest.

"How dare you hit me in the tits...." Fubiki yelled angrily, suddenly pulled 2 kunai with her right and threw them at Sakura at blinding speed.

Sakura was caught off guard a moment and tried to duck the kunai heading for her chest.... she almost made it. Sakura had dropped to her belly in the dirt, she quickly hopped back to her feet angry and started to brush off her shirt. "Hey bitch watch it, you could of killed .... " Sakura yelled then suddenly froze in shock.

Looking at the side of the arena, Naruto watched Sakura from above and behind Fubiki. When Naruto saw Sakura brush the dirt from her chest, he knew what had happened, the kunai had missed Sakura.... but not her sleeveless red shirt, it ripped from the collar to the shoulder and the shirt, from her belt up, fell down like flaps over the front and back of her shorts, which left Sakura topless, her B cup breasts fully exposed.

Fubiki started laughing hard. "You call those tiny bumps tits?"

He turned suddenly when he heard Kurenai gasp in fear. "No one laugh at Sakura and I mean it!" Naruto said quickly and as seriously as he could.

"Dear Kami, please.... don't do it Sakura-chan.... you don't know what'll happen." Kurenai said, almost terrified.

"Don't do what Kurenai-sensei?" Naruto asked, heard Sakura yell a word then he felt it and turned back to the arena.

"I don't know how, but.... Sakura is able to open the Chakra Gates at will." Kurenai said, her face now devoid of emotion.

"How many?" Guy asked, in a rare, serious voice.

A single tear ran down each of Kurenai's cheeks. "If she wanted to.... all eight." Kurenai said in a dead tone.

"TWO!" Sakura yelled as her chakra doubled again

EVERYONE in the arena gaspd in shock at the power Sakura put out, with a few exceptions no one had seen anyone unlock the Chakra Gates.

"THREE!" Sakura roared as her skin turned red. "FOUR!" Sakura yelled and her chakra jumped to low Jounin level.

Fubiki was almost scared shitless, she knew there was no way in hell a Genin should be able to open the Chakra Gates.

"FIVE!" Sakura absolutely roared with power and rage as her chakra jumped to high Joinin level.

Fubiki could feel it, the pink-haired girl in front of her was at high Jounin level. She desperately wanted to scream her submission, but couldn't.

"SIX!" Sakura roared as her skin got dark red, her chakra spiked to Elite Jounin.

"SOMEONE STOP HER, I DON'T THINK SHE'S GONNA STOP!!!!" Ino screamed, absolutely terrified her best friend was going to kill herself.

Almost in a total panic Fubiki summoned every bit of chakra she had, short of exhausting herself, and flashed through the hand signs for her best jutsu, the fact it was a fatal jutsu didn't matter, her only thought was survival. "EARTH STYLE: GREAT STONE TSUNAMI!" A thirty foot earth and stone wave rose up in front of Fubiki and a moment later crashed down on Sakura, who'd just stood there.

Everyone, included Sarutobi watched intently, unsure if it had actually hit her.... a few moments later the area where Sakura stood exploded, debris flew everywhere. As it did they heard Sakura yell Seven. They all looked at her in slack-jawed silence. The left side of her face was bloody and obviously crushed, her arms were broken in several places, and most shocking, so were her legs, yet somehow against all logic, some how Sakura was standing on broken legs. How was beyond their comprehension.

"Yor ded ou fak'n bish. "Sakura said, her jaw obviusly broken. and spit out a big gob of blood.

"I SUBMIT JUST DON'T KILL ME!!!!" Fubiki suddenly screamed, terrified to her very core, she'd never seen such rage before. Here eys went dull as her mind shutdown, unable to deal with what she just saw and knowing her gruesome death was now unavoidable. The girl was sgoing to literally rip her apart and there was nothing she could do about it.

"Winner Sakura Haruno." Gekki quickly said after a glance up at Sarutobi.

Naruto shushined in front of Sakura an instant later, any thought of hiding his power forgoten, followed by Kurenai, Anko, Kakashi, Guy and Itachi, behind him. "Sakura-chan it's over." He said with as much love as he could for his friend, who was the power was ripping through her body, every muscle in her body had at least doubled in size.

"Please Sakura-chan, it's over, if you don't close the Gates and let us help you, you'll die." Kurenai said warmly.

Sakura was almost completely blinded by the rage and power erupting within her, the pain didn't even register in her mind. She looked at the people in front of her, her broken hands clenched in tight fists. Part of her wanted to unlock the next Gate and dismember the Grass kunoichi she saw standing terrified behind the familiar faces, then she heard his voice again. 'N, Naruto-kun?' Sakura thought.

"No, that bitch humiliated us and tried to kill us, she must die!" An identical, but not her own, voice said to Sakura.

In her mind Sakura saw a photo negative version of herself standing there, she had the Kanji for 'Inner Sakura' on her forehead, her hitai-ite was on top her head. 'Who are you.... am, am I a jinchuuriki like Naruto-kun?' Sakura said to her other self.

"I'm your other half, everything you keep suppressed and the source of your true power, call me Inner Sakura. Now let me out so I can kill that fucking Grass cunt." Inner Sakura said calmly, almost happily at the suggestion.

Naruto looked at Sakura very worried, but slightly confused. Her eyes glazed over and her lips moved as if she was talking, then just for a moment what looked like a very think black ink began to seep through Sakura's skin, stopped, and went back inside her...

"NOOOOOO!!!" Sakura suddenly screamed as she closed the Gates and collapsed unconscious.

Naruto caught her in his left arm and flipped her shirt up over her now bloody breasts, then scooped her up bridal style and turned to the Jounin behind him. "I'm taking Sakura-chan to the back for help, I want that bitch Fubiki there too, in another room." Naruto said matter-of-factly.

Anko looked up at the Hokage for orders, saw him take a quick puff of his pipe and nod. "Go, I'll get Fubiki."

While Naruto and Anko took the girls to the back, the other Jounin returned to the catwalk.

Ino ran up to Kurenai when she appeared. "Is Sakura-chan going to be okay?" Ino asked very worried.

"I hope so Ino...." Kurenai said seriously, and knew Ino was truely concerned. She usually called her either Sakura or forehead, if Ino called her Sakura-chan it came from her heart and true friendship. Though she suspected Ino wanted a closer relationship with her best friend.

"How did Sakura open seven Gates so easily, you didn't teach her. Only Kakashi and I know how to do it." Guy said seriously.

"I can only open two, and even then I'd only do it in an extreme emergency. How can she open seven without training?" Kakashi said, also in a serious voice.

"Select the next fighters." Sarutobi said, loudly, but calmly. He didn't show it, but he was very worried about Sakura, she loved reading as much as he did. He wanted to stop the Exams and check on her but knew he couldn't do that. Even though he was one of the few people in the world that knew what had really just happened to Sakura. 'As soon as these are over I'll have to send for her.... she won't like it though. He could bring her back.... if anyone could get her to return it's Naruto.... I better send Jiraiya with Team Seven. You're the only person that can heal Sakura, if you don't her life as a kunoichi is over.... she reminds me so much of you Tsunade ' Sarutobi thought sadly.

Chichi -vs- Tenten
