I Don't Own Naruto


"Next *cough cough cough* match Sasuke Uchiha and Neji *cough cough* Hyuga verses Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi *couch couch cough cough* could the combatants please join me here" wheezed Hayate looking up at the board with the names on it.

Shikamaru and Choji smiled at each other as they walked down the stairs while Neji and Sasuke glared at each other.

"Great arrogance A and arrogance B verses flawless teamwork," though Naruto in him mind.

"As much as I hate to say it I think it's gonna be the Uchiha and Hyuga," replied Akane.

"Unfortunately I think you're right," thought Naruto as the four competitors appeared on the field.

"Are the combatants *cough cough cough* ready?" asked Hayate.

"Hn," replied Sasuke.

"Yes," declared Neji.

"Yeah," said Choji.

"Troublesome but yeah," muttered Shikamaru.

"Then *cough* begin," called Hayate before jumping away from the arena.

"You two may as well give up you have been fated to lose" declared Neji.

"Oh shut up Hyuga" said Sasuke with his arms crossed looking at Choji and Shikamaru arrogantly.

"What was that Uchiha?" snapped Neji turning to the Uchiha.

"I told you to shut up we have a match to fight" declared Sasuke, Neji scoffed before turning back to Shikamaru and Choji.

"I suppose you're right" muttered Neji glaring at the two other genin.

"Baika no Jutsu (Expansion Jutsu), Nikudan Sensha (Human Boulder)," called Choji in quick succession, expanding to the size of a boulder before rolling straight at the two Dojutsu possessing Genin.

"Byakugan," called Neji jumping out of the way of the large human ball.

"Sharingan," said Sasuke activating his own eyes, before twitching and dropping to the ground clutching his shoulder deactivating his eyes quickly.

"So he did get marked," thought Naruto looking at the mark on Sasuke's shoulder as the black haired boy stood up only to get slammed into a wall courtesy of Choji's human boulder form, Choji came back from the wall letting Sasuke fall from the spider web crack in the wall on the floor. Shikamaru dropped to a knee and held his hands in a rat sign.

"Kagezukami no Jutsu (Shadow Grasping Jutsu)," called Shikamaru as his shadow connected with Choji's and the Nara heir used the shadow to guide Choji in his human bolder form over to Neji who was charging at Shikamaru in an attempt to knock him out, Neji jumped out of the way of the boulder Shikamaru however kept following the boy, but he kept jumping back avoiding the attack, Shikamaru then noticed Sasuke was once again standing, on shaky legs bust standing none the less, and so Shikamaru directed Choji over towards the shaky genin, who could do nothing to avoid the attack and once again was hit dead on by the boulder however this time he was launched backwards towards the entrance of the arena, once Sasuke landed he just lay there. Sasuke Uchiha was unconscious.

That left only Neji who was kind of sweating now, the combination the two of them were using was far from perfect but in such an enclosed space it was difficult to avoid, Neji then had to jump away as Choji cane rolling back at him. Neji calmed remembering he was fated to win so he would find a way. Once again figuring the weak link in the attack was Shikamaru he jumped over the boulder that is Choji and ran at Shikamaru who began reeling in Choji however Neji was just fast enough to keep ahead so Shikamaru had to do something, taking the smarter of the two options Shikamaru let go of the Jutsu letting Choji roll free towards Neji and he jumped away from the two incoming ninja.

Neji followed Shikamaru's lead and jumped out of the way of Choji however, he continued after Shikamaru. Choji slammed into a wall before reversing out of the wall and once more following after the two ninja.

Shikamaru running from Neji pulled out a kunai, jumping up Shikamaru Turing around mid-air threw his kunai at Neji, who jumped to the side avoiding the kunai, Shikamaru landed on the ground and began running again trying to come up with a strategy to beat Neji. The Hyuga genin got within attacking range and throwing chakra coated fingers forwards Neji went to jab Shikamaru who just before Neji hit him Kawarimi-ed with a nearby log leaving Neji to shatter the log and continue to run from Choji who was slowly but surely gaining on Neji. The white eyed Genin once more followed Shikamaru's lead and Kawarimi-ed with a logthis one being rolled over by Choji.

"Kagemane no Jutsu (Shadow Possession Jutsu)," called Shikamaru his shadow reaching out and attaching to Neji's, making the boy stop dead in his tracks, Choji then began rolling back over towards him. Neji's eyes went wide.

"No I can't lose I have been fated to win I can't lose," thought Neji frantically as Choji drew closer and closer, when the bolder was within metres Neji closed his eyes accepting his fate, less than a minute later Neji felt Shikamaru release his shadow technique, but it was too late Choji slammed into Neji full force launching Neji backwards thirty feet and up about five. Neji slammed back first into the wall just below the screen with the names, Neji felt the wall buckle slightly at the tremendous amount of force behind the attack but that was it as he had blacked out. Neji's body impacted the wall creating spider web cracks around it after a second Neji's unconscious body fell forwards out of the wall and down on the ground where Gai appeared and caught the genin.

"Winners *cough cough cough* Shikamaru Nara, and Choji *cough cough cough* Akimichi," declared Hayate appearing back on the as the teams of nurses came scurrying out to collect Sasuke and Neji.

"Well that was unexpected," decalred Naruto.

"Just a little bit," said Akane shocked.

Everyone was shaken from their shock when Hayate spoke up again.

"Next match *cough cough cough cough* Kankuro *cough cough* Sabaku verses Shino Aburame *cough cough cough*," declared Hayate. Both combatants began walking down from the upper levels.

Walking onto the arena

"Are all combatants *cough cough cough* ready?" asked Hayate.

"Yes," declared Kankuro.

"Ready," spoke Shino stoically.

"Then *cough* begin," called Hayate jumping back from the two genin.

Shino stood still analysing his opponent as he took the bundle off his back, Shino eyed the bundle.

"Puppeteer," declared Shino making Kankuro's eyes widen before Shino sent out a cloud of bugs towards the bundle.

"Damn it," declared a voice from inside the bundle before the bandages fell away and a second Kankuro jumped away from the bugs the first Kankuro dropping to the floor in a heap, Shino pulled his bugs back as Kankuro pulled out and threw down a smoke bomb obscuring the scene out of the smoke blurred an object, it was a puppet, the puppet flew out of the smoke and flew at Shino, who let out his swarm ready to protect him from the puppet.

The puppet's jaw opened and a hail of senbon flew at Shino, the bug using genin noted the purple liquid on the senbon. The senbon hit home imbedding in Shino's skin. That is until Shino fell apart into a swarm of bugs.

A kunai came flying out of nowhere towards the puppet, Kankuro from his now lacklustre smoke cloud pulled his puppet back, good thing to as when the kunai hit the ground it exploded. Shino appeared behind Kankuro who was looking around for him, the Aburame heir placed a kunai at Kankuro's throat.

"I win Kankuro-san," declared Shino in a stoic tone.

"Don't count your chickens before they hatch bug boy," declared Kankuro as he vanished in a plume of smoke replaced with the puppet. The head of the pupped turned around and faced Shino before its mouth and out poured a purple gas. Shino quickly substituted with a nearby log, appearing on the other side of the room.

Kankuro pulled out a kunai and threw it a Shino, the bug wielding shinobi pulled out his own kunai and threw it with precision hitting Kankuro's and deflecting it. Kankuro's puppet flew forwards spitting out another hail of senbon Shino deflected the senbon with a kunai, as the pupped flew closer it once again opened its jaw and released a cloud of purple fog. Shino jumped back avoiding the attack.

"Katon Gokakyu No Jutsu (Fire Style Fireball Jutsu)," called Shino launching a fireball at Kankuro and his puppet, the puppet was yanked out of the way Kankuro jumping out of the way the fireball sailing between Kankuro and his puppet the fireball burnt through Kankuro's chakra. Reconnecting the strings to his puppet, Kankuro made the puppet fly towards Shino.

Launching smoke bombs the puppet flew into the smoke cloud as Shino as quickly as he could backed out of the smoke cloud once Shino was clear he stood ready to defend from an attack, he however was not prepared for what happened, bursting from the smoke came two of the puppet's arms with blades in the joints. Shino was lucky enough to jump back in time to avoid the first attack, but the arms kept coming so Shino pulled out a pair of kunai to block the bladed attack but Shino was still getting pushed back so quickly the genin performed a Kawarimi once again with a nearby log before flashing through hand signs once more.

"Katon Hōsenka no Jutsu (Fire Style Phoenix Flower Jutsu),"called Shino breathing out a flurry of fire balls that flew at Kankuro's back, Kankuro jumped out of the way of the first couple but when one was about to collide with his face he quickly Kawarimi-ed to the other side of the room. Kankuro then felt his legs go numb looking down he found his legs covered in bugs.

"What the?" questioned Kankuro dropping to the ground as more and more bug crawled onto him.

"I planted a female bug on you when I had you at kunai point and the males will follow the scent of a female through heaven and hell," declared Shino with a ghost of a smirk.

"But you were using fire jutsu on me did you not care about killing your bugs?" questioned Kankuro confused.

"When I first started learning Katon Jutsu I introduced heat resistant insects into my hives now almost all of them are resistant to heat enough that a simple C-rank Katon Jutsu wouldn't phase them," said Shino full on smirking now.

"Winner *cough cough cough* Shino Aburame" declared Hayate, and with that Shino recalled all of his insects.

"He's good I'll need to be on my guard if I come up against him in the finals," thought Naruto to himself.

"If worst comes to worst I can flood your system with my Youkai there is no Aburame insect that can absorb my Youkai alive" declared Akane from within Naruto's mind.

"Next *cough cough cough* match Rock Lee verses *cough cough cough cough* Gaara Sabaku,"

"YOSH It's finally my turn," shouted Lee.

"YOSH Lee-kun show them your flames of youth," declared Gai

"Lee-kun,"

"Gai-sensei,"

"Lee-kun,"

"Gai-sensei,"

"LEE-KUN,"

"GAI-SENSEI,"

The two men hugged and behind them was the feared and dreaded Sunset Genjutsu.

"Get down," yelled Naruto as he leapt into action and tackled his teammates to the ground to spare them the horror that would be etched into their memory had they have seen the genjutsu he had heard rumours of the dreaded Genjutsu and dared not even look to try and discover how it worked, everyone in the arena looked away from the two men excluding a few unfortunate souls who didn't look away in time. Those unfortunate souls were forced to watch the genjutsu until the end and when Gai and Lee parted from their manly hug the unfortunate souls who saw the genjutsu they fell to the ground spasming.

Lee jumped the bars and dropped to the arena floor standing opposite Gaara.

"Begin" declared Hayate.


Alright people chapter over.

Now remember people Sasuke has been marked by Orochimaru there by canceling out any and all chakra usage as he is yet to have the mark sealed or removed so that's why he went down like a little bitch

and about Shino using Katon Jutsu i know it seems a bit weird but according to the Naruto wiki Shino can actually use Katon so theres that

about the Lee Gaara fight i cannot improve on perfection so i won't try so its the same as cannon

nothing else to say so...
