This is a Naruto Fan Fiction only.

I looked at Akamaru and he knew that what I was about to do. I immediately bite my thumb and did the summoning jutsu. Nora of the Panther Clan showed up and boy she looked like she had an argument with someone.

"You called Naruto? If it's for a fight I thank you. My kids and mate have been quite frustrating as of late. I would welcome the chance to blow off a little steam."

She might have pearly silver fur, and blue eyes but those eyes looked like someone who was eager to fight. "Actually Nora I called you just for that. Here I was thinking I was bothering my friend's mom. Who knew you needed a chance to blow off some steam?"

We both looked at Kiba who was looking quite bored. "You aren't the only animal clan that can do fang over fang, you know Kiba." He laughed at me, the nerve. I was telling him the truth and he laughed.

"Who are you kidding Naruto? You are the dead last of our class. You shouldn't even be here. You should be picking up garbage at a local park!"

Ok, that does it. No more Mr. Nice Guy for the remainder of this fight. I looked at Nora and she nodded her head. We began to run towards him, and as we picked up speed we leap at him spinning at a much higher speed than his clan was able to do.

He got hit by the technique right in his chest, had it not been for the armor he was wearing he would be picking his guts from the arena floor.

Akamaru looked at me with a look of utter suprise on his face. "I told him, I warned him ahead of time. Panther's can also do the fang over fang and beast transformations but would he listen? No, who would listen to me."

I walked over to Kiba and waited for him to get up. "So Kiba, tell me who is the dead last of our class? Who is weaker? What forgot to speak? Too tired you say. Well why didn't you say so. Let me help you take a nice long nap."

As soon as he was glaring at me I gave him an uppercut punch that sent him a few feet off the ground before he came down crashing back on the floor, hard.

"Proctor you want to call this fight? Or do you really want me to end it by killing him. Cause I got no problem in killing people you know what I mean!"

Almost out of fear he took hold of my arm and raised my hand. "Winner: Naruto Uzumaki!"

As soon as he let go of my arm and I thanked Nora for her help. She took off to see what her kids were up to, and I went to the balcony to see the other fights.

Sakura was not happy about something and I just knew that she was going to let me know as soon as I got up on that balcony.

The board turned on again and it was a pair that I seriously wish would never have to fight against each other. The time I spent training with Neji, most of the time was trying as hard as I could to squash two bad traits of his.

The first was his obsession with everything being preordained, the other his hatred of the main branch of his own family. I understand that his father dying like he did would make anyone mad. The problem was that while the head of the Hyuuga clan pretty much declared his death. It was hardly a decision he would take lightly.

It was his own brother after all, and had nothing with making that decision. To blame her was as I call it blaming someone else for the actions of another, in other words the same thing that the village does to me. Neji was using Hinata as a scapegoat.

Here I was looking at the two for the second round and it was Hinata against Neji. I could not help hoping that my training with Neji had a positive effect.

I looked at the two walk unto the arena, and as soon as they were face to face the thing I dreaded happened. "Hinata, you might as well surrender now. Your defeat has already been preordained. You are within my divination circle."

Hinata just stood there and waited for him to charge at him. The second he got near and began using the gentle fist style something happened that caught me by surprise.

She began to use a different style I never seen before. The effect was that each of his punches was deflected in such a way to cause him harm. In other words this style made Neji beat himself with his own strikes.

Just as he was about to be knocked out, he dropped into the stance of the gentle fist but something was wrong it looked completely different. "Diamond Fist Style: Cut of the thousand diamond shards!"

She went and hit him all over his body sending him flying into the air after a harsh serious of punches and ended with her slamming her fists against his head pretty much nailing him back down unto the ground.

She was declared the winner, she looked at Neji and with a huff was ready to walk away back to the balcony. She decided to leave him with a final message, "So much for preordained fate. There is no fate other than the one we make for ourselves. Through hard work there are no barriers that we can't get through."

I was shaking my head as I saw that Neji still has a long way to go. I decided to go and meditate for a little while, spending some quality time with mom might do me some good. I also needed to talk about Shizaku and Gaara with mom.

The old racoon dog might be family, but something about Gaara's eye that I found quite disturbing. The black rings around his eyes where not something that you would expect. I got the feeling that it had to do with something related to his sleep, or maybe his lack of sleep.

As soon as I saw my mom's smile I knew she was aware of my suspicions and she shared them. "What can I say Naruto? You make me one proud mother. Yes, I also suspected when I saw his eyes. It's more than likely that Suna didn't have a master on the sealing art. Not many left after the village of our Clan was destroyed after all."

I began shaking my head at the mere notion that this was even considered. "So you mean to tell me the Kazekage is so power hungry that he deprived his son of sleep, just because he didn't bother asking another village for help? Jiraiya of the Sennin could have done a better job I think."

She could not help laugh, "Son you have to realize this would also be an embarrassment of his village, he might have done it also for the safety of the people. You know how much a kid suffers sometimes because your Kage is so focused on the Greater Good."

"Besides that did you get a good look at his sister?" I looked at my mother and couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Mom, I know you might remember this lady I been sleeping with? You know a Sayomi Uchiha? Now you are asking me if I am interested in another woman? Correctly if I am wrong, but doesn't our kind mate for life?"

She sat down and looked at me with a sad look on her face. "We do mate for life my son, but I am worried that she might want to keep that disguise even after she becomes a Chuunin, and there is the possibility she doesn't pass the Exams."

I smiled at the concerned look mom was showing me. "Don't you worry, you trained her well, and she's got a month to get even better. I am more worried about how I am going to deal with that Diamond Fist Style. If she can use my own strikes against me taijutsu if definitely out of the question."

She began to look like she was thinking about it. She smiled and thought of something useful. "By the looks of it she can deflect attacks directed at her, so how about damage by aiming at her surroundings rather than her directly. As for her strikes they are close range so you could pretty much fight her using long range jutsus."

I knew that was a possibility but all my area effect jutsus were simply designed to kill not to injure. I developed most of them to eliminate groups of enemies. Using the flight of the thunder god was out of the question. If me being raise by mom sent the council wanting my death, if they knew I knew every jutsu that my father knew would definitely demand that they issue my death warrant.

"I just need something no one can copy, or ever learn to do. A technique that is not available for humans to do. Something that will strike fear into the very hearts of my enemies."

Mom just laughed as I said that, she must have found what I said to be very funny. "Kushina used to say the very same thing when we first started living together. Minato was the only one that came even close to creating something only me and my fellow Biju can do. The Rasengan is a cheap knock off of that attack after all."

She got up and placed a hand on my shoulder. "You want a skill that no human can ever learn or copy? You already have it. You know full well how to use the tailed beast ball."

"If you are worried that they will treat you badly, who cares? If they dared call you a demon you know that you can send that idiot to meet the reaper that very moment, and not even the Hokage will hold it against you."

"The Tailed beast ball is not a skill that any mere human can ever learn on their own, and only a jinchuriki that can transform to our full form can even dream of using it. Their hatred of us however makes this pretty much impossible. Even if they did it would be the Biju actually doing the technique through his or her host."

I begin gathering positive and negative chakra in my mouth. I felt like something was bothering me and so I opened my mouth and the ball was floating right outside my opened mouth. A small breath and the ball went out shoot like it was being shot out of a cannon.

Mom saw it go until she made a large mountain right in it's path with earth manipulation. Once the beast ball hit the mountain it blew up until pebbles were the only thing that was on the ground.

"See, nothing to it. You are as so much like me it could also be a little scary to my siblings. Then again as your mother I would be pretty surprised if that was not the case. You really do take after me, son."

I guess that would be useful if Gaara or Shukaku went out of control. Which made me remember something odd. "Say mom isn't the one tailed beast a male beast?" She told me Shukaku was indeed one of her brothers. She then asked my why did I ask?

"Gaara said something odd as he walked up to the platform. He said his mother was hungry, that she needed to drink plenty of blood. That he hoped he could find good blood for his mother. He kept muttering this over and over. It just doesn't make any sense with what you just told me."

She just had to say something that would give me nightmares after I said that. "Well either he is trying to make his host go insane so he can break out, or my brother has something in common with Orochimaru, and no I don't mean the body snatching."

The next fight I was going to do was against the guy named Kankuro. It seems that his intended opponent left the tower for some reason. My guess is that the face paint scared the guy off.

As we started I looked at the guy, "Are we going to fight or are you going to stay in there while I fight your puppet? I am only asking since the proctor seems to be so against killing each other and if that thing goes up in smoke so do you."

This made everyone think I was insane, and Sakura even laughed as I said that. That is until he got out of the pouch that his puppet was carrying around.

He looked rather amused truth be told. "Just so that I know, what gave me away? I thought my puppet was perfect replica of myself. So who did you know my puppet was carrying me in that pouch?"

I looked at him and decided that he was actually serious. "Your puppet was talking without moving his mouth in sync. He looked like the words had to catch up with how his lips moved. There is also the chakra strings coming out of the pouch."

He nodded his head, "So lip sync and you can see the strings. Ok, I guess I didn't expect people in the Leaf village to know about puppetry. Thanks for telling me. I will make a not of it for later."

The fight began, and since I knew he was using a puppet. The only thing I needed to do was to cut off the chakra string, so I began sending wind cutters his way in such a way that he had to jump of the way. This made him unintentionally cause the puppet strings to be cut.

After at least half an hour of this Kankuro finally had to give up. He simply ran out of chakra. "Well that was a good work out Kankuro. Haven't had to use wind jutsu for so long."

I saw him smile and laugh, "Never met a guy who focused solely on the chakra string before, that caught me by surprise. I guess I should say good luck in the Tournament, and believe me you are going to need it."

"Come on let's get off the stage there really only one fight left anyways. My bro against the guy who apparently loves wearing green spandex."
