I Don't Own Naruto


"Winner *Cough cough cough* Kankuro," declared Hayate as Kankuro walked back up the stairs to his team, Naruto narrowed his eyes at the Suna team, he wasn't sure why but they felt off to him.

"What is it Naru-kun?" asked Anko looking at her boyfriend/student.

"I'm not sure," said Naruto turning back to Anko, before turning back to the arena.

"The next match is *cough cough cough* Temari of Suna and Shino Aburame, verses Kin *cough cough cough cough* Tsuchi and Zaku Abumi," called Hayate, Naruto watched at the last member of the Suna team and the female of the Otto team walked down the stairs followed by Shino and the male Otto genin with both of his arms in slings.

The two Otto nin stood opposite Shino and Temari all four of the ninja glaring at their opponents.

"If all participants are *cough cough cough* ready then begin" said Hayate jumping back.

The four ninja stood still glaring each other down, Kin made the first move flicking senbon at Temari who pulled the fan off her back and blocking the small metal needles with the fan, while this was going on Zaku pulled one arm out of the slings and pointing it at Shino.

"Zankūha (Decapitating Air waves)," called Zaku launching an air wave at Shino who jumped to the side avoiding the attack, Shino then sent out a swarm of bugs towards the Otto genin.

"Zankūha (Decapitating Air waves)," called Zaku again launching a wave of air towards Shino's bugs only for the wave to hit and the bugs to curve around it.

Kin once again threw senbon at Temari who again used her closed fan to block them.

"Futon Kazekiri no Jutsu (Wind Style Wind cutter Jutsu)," said Temari flicking her fan sending out a wave of wind that flew forwards and slammed into Kin launching her back into the wall behind her, Kin hit the wall with a crunch, before dropping to the floor an her knees. Kin looked at the smirking Temari with a glare.

"Magen Jubaku Satsu (Daemonic Illusion Tree Binding Death)," declared Kin before vanishing in a swirl. Temari looked on as she became paralysed as a tree sprouted out of the ground behind her and wrapped limbs around her, Temari was shocked looking around trying to find Kin she however couldn't find the black haired kunoichi. That is until the black haired Otto genin phased out of the tree above Temari with a kunai in hand, however before Kin could do anything Temari felt a nip on the side of her neck, and her reality flickered before revealing Kin standing above her with a kunai in hand ready to strike, Temari using her closed fan as a club smacked Kin back before jumping away from her. Temari looked at her neck where she felt the nip and saw a bug, looking over to Shino he gave her the slightest nod, she nodded back at him silently thanking him for freeing her from the Genjutsu.

"Futon Reppūshō (Wind Style Gale Palm)," called Zaku forcing a wall of wind forwards pushing Shino's bugs back, Shino called all of his bugs back to him.

"Katon Gokakyu No Jutsu (Fire Style Fireball Jutsu)," called Shino shooting a fireball towards Zaku, the fireball absorbed the wind from Zaku's jutsu and powered up the fire, Zaku disappeared in a Kawarimi (Substitution).

"Zankūha (Decapitating Air waves)," called Zaku from behind Shino, a wave of air slammed into Shino, however instead of being thrown backwards the boy burst into a swarm of bugs, Zaku was thrown into a wall Shino kicking him in the face, Zaku jumped to the side as a swarm of bugs flew at him.

Shino pulled out a kunai with a tag attached to the ring on the end before he threw it at Zaku who just managed to dodge the weapon only for the tag to catch fire before exploding lunching Zaku forwards into Shino's foot. Shino kicked Zaku in the head before his bugs swarmed out of his sleeves and began sucking up Zaku's Chakra.

Temari and Kin stood opposite each other, Temari glared at the black haired girl before unfurling her fan.

"Futon Kazekiri no Jutsu (Wind Style Wind cutter Jutsu)," called Temari launching a blade of wind at Kin who jumped out of the way only for Temari to appear next to her with a folded up fan in her hands, again using her fan like a club Temari slammed her fan into Kin's face launching her backwards into a wall making the wall crack like a spider web, Kin pushed herself up onto wobbly legs, barely looking conscious, Kin flipped through a set of hand signs in a last dich attempt to stop Temari.

"Suiton Suidan no Jutsu (Water Style Water Bomb Jutsu)," called Kin breathing out a stream of water towards Temari who jumped to the side avoiding the stream. Temari was about to charge at Kin until the girl fell forwards unconscious.

"Winners *cough cough cough cough* Temari of Suna and Shino *cough cough cough* Aburame" declared Hayate once more appearing on the arena floor. With that said the teams of medics ran out onto the field and collected the unconscious bodies of the two Otto Shinobi.

"Well that was interesting" muttered Naruto looking down at the now empty battlefield.

"Yeah those two made a surprisingly good team" said Anko leaning on Naruto.

"Alright *cough cough cough cough* next match is…" began Hayate looking up at the screen waiting for the names to appear.

"Shikamaru *cough cough cough* Nara, and Choji Akimichi verses *cough cough cough* Dosu Kinta and Yoroi Akado" said Hayate, the four mentioned genin began moving from their positions with their teams and walked down to the arena.

"Are both parties ready to *cough cough cough* begin?" asked Hayate getting a nod from the Otto genin.

"Troublesome Yes" muttered Shikamaru.

"Yes" declared Choji

"Yes Proctor-san" said Yoroi.

"Then *cough* begin" called Hayate.

"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 opposing Genin.

"Kagemane no Jutsu (Shadow Possession Jutsu)," called Shikamaru his shadow stretching out to the opposing Konoha genin, who jumped out of the way of the shadow tendril only to get slammed into a wall courtesy of Choji's human boulder form, Choji came back from the wall letting the genin fall from the spider web crack in the wall on the floor. Shikamaru dropped his jutsu before forming the signs for another.

"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 Dosu who was charging at Shikamaru in an attempt to knock him out, The Otto genin 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 Yoroi 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 he landed he just lay there.

That left only Dosu who was 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, the Otto genin then had to jump away as Choji came rolling back at him. 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 Dosu 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 Dosu and he jumped away from the two incoming ninja.

Dosu 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 the Otto genin pulled out a kunai, jumping up Shikamaru Turing around mid-air threw his kunai at Dosu, 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 Dosu. The Otto genin got within attacking range and throwing his gauntleted arm forwards at Shikamaru who just before Dosu hit him Shikamaru Kawarimi-ed with a nearby log leaving Dosu to shatter the log and continue to run from Choji who was slowly but surely gaining on the bandaged Otto genin. The mummified Genin once more followed Shikamaru's lead and Kawarimi-ed with a log this one being rolled over by Choji.

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

"No I can't lose Orochimaru-sama will kill me," thought Dosu frantically as Choji drew closer and closer, when the bolder was within metres of the bandaged Genin he closed his eyes accepting his fate, less than a minute later Dosu felt Shikamaru release his shadow technique, but it was too late Choji slammed into the mummified genin full force launching him backwards thirty feet and up about five. The bandaged genin slammed back first into the wall just below the screen with the names, Dosu felt the wall buckle slightly at the tremendous amount of force behind the attack but that was it as he had blacked out. The Otto genin's body impacted the wall creating spider web cracks around it after a second Dosu'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 Dosu and Yoroi.

"Should have seen that coming those two have amazing teamwork," said Naruto.

"Yeah those two have always been great working together," spoke Kalina.

"Well they have essentially been attached at the hip since the before the academy right?" questioned Mikari looking at her teammates.

"Good job you two," said Naruto as the two genin walked past them.

"Thanks Naruto," said Choji with a smile.

"Troublesome, thanks Naruto," said Shikamaru with his trademarked lazy attitude before the two ninja continued back to their teams.

"The next and *cough cough cough* final match will be *cough cough cough*…" coughed Hayate trailing off as he waited for the names to flick across the screen despite the fact the genin already knew who it was. Hinata was looking nervously over at her older cousin who was glaring back at her, Neji's Byakugan flared to life as he glared at Hinata with a sadistic smirk on his face.

"Hinata *cough cough cough cough* Hyuga and Neji *cough cough cough* Hyuga," declared Hayate before the two Hyuga made their way down, one confidently the other very nervously.

"You should give up Hinata I have been fated to win this match," declared Neji glaring at Hinata.

"I-I won't back down Neji-Niisama" said Hinata confidently.

"Why bother you are fated to lose to me here toda-" began Neji only to be interrupted by a voice from the second floor.

"OI FATE'S BITCH SHE TOLD YOU SHE WOULDN'T BACK DOWN SO SHUT IT" yelled Naruto making Neji look up at him and glare.

"You watch your mouth freak" said Neji. The whole room became dead silent as Naruto narrowed his eyes at Neji.

"What did you call me?" questioned Naruto.

"Freak" declared Neji only to drop to the ground as Naruto directed all of his KI at the arrogant Hyuga.

"You better pray to your fate that Hinata beats you because I swear if I meet you in the finals I will crush you" declared Naruto

"If both combatants are *cough cough cough* ready then begin" said Hayate.
