Both of the boys walked into the center of the arena, but neither of them said anything towards each other when the Proctor began the match. It wasn't even a second after the mark for go was given that the two backed away from each other, and Shiro threw a kunai at him. Shino dodged the attack, but he had to dodge once again as the kunai started to chase after him like a fly that was determined to land on someone. Anyone who didn't know what was going on, were confused, as even with strings someone couldn't do that. Shiro's arms were moving in a very intricate why when it came down to the kunai. The fact that there seemed to be nothing attached to the boys hands just showed that it wasn't a wire that was moving the Kunai like that.

"How is he doing that...?" Naruto, who was standing next to Kira, asked with a confused look on his face.

Kira gave a slightly wicked grin at the sight of the handy work that Shiro was performing, before she said "I'm a seal master and Kenjutsu master, While Karin is an analytical and medical expert. As for Shiro? He has a mind that can rival a Nara, and has chakra control on Par with someone of Tsunade senju."

Neji, who was standing on the other side of the uzumaki, stared in shock at the declaration, before he activated his Byakugan, and noticed the very thin blue line that was connecting the Kunai that shiro was controlling, and to Shiro himself. With a small sigh and a look of disbelief on the Hyuga's face he said "I see. He's using nearly non-existent chakra strings to perform the tricks with the Kunai. You would need incredible chakra control of even a thick chakra string, but for one that small? Unbelievable all of you Uzumaki are insane."

"The Uzumaki clan is insane, its simple as that, though the insane Shinobi seem to be better off than the sane ones, so why don't you join the club and be insane just like the rest of us?" Kira asked with a large grin on her face, causing Neji to laugh slightly at the sight of Kira acting slightly crazy.

"I'll keep that in mind" Was the Hyuga's only response before all three of them went back to watching the match between the Aburame and the Uzumaki, to where it had switched from being a long ranged fight to a close range fight.

While Shino tried to get his Kikai bugs onto Shiro, it became obvious that he wasn't going to be able to due to the fact that every time one of the bugs got near the uzumaki, a small gust of wind seemed to push them away from him. Seeing that his clan's fighting style was no longer working, he pulled out a kunai from one of his sleeves, and he went towards Shiro faster than some would have thought for the Aburame, but it didn't do anything else, as Shiro blocked the Kunai attack, and sent Shino to the left with a quick that was placed in the exact spot, that caused the Aburame to go careening to the left, right above a piece of paper that conveniently placed at exactly where the Aburame landed. In an instant a flash of light went from the paper, and shino found himself unable to move.

"How?" Was the only thing that Shino asked as he looked towards the nervous form of Shiro that appeared after he had been captured by the seal on the ground.

Shiro, looked to the side slightly as he said "I distracted y-you with t-that Kunai. P-placed t-that seal d-during that... D-do you y-yield?"

Shino looked at the Uzumaki from behind his shades, before he gave a simple yes as an answer. Sure enough, the second that Shino said that, Shiro deactivated the seal that he used of the Aburame, and the two of them walked away from the arena with a small nod towards each other. Up in the Kage box, however, the peace was not nearly as satisfying. A, Gave a thoughtful look towards the two boys as they left before he asked "When was it that the Uzumaki clan had joined Konoha?"

Hiruzen gave a small sigh, as he knew this was going to happen, but before he could say anything, Shiba said "As far as I could tell, my daughter brought the clan here close to four months ago. I'm not completely sure, but I know that we've been here long enough."

The four Kage looked at Shiba with a almost curious look, but Mei gave small smile as she said "Well I'm glad to know not all the Uzumaki were killed. It may not be obvious but I am related to your clan, if only to a third cousin."

Shiba gave a nod towards Mei before everyone turned back towards the Arena when the Proctor said the next match, which was a match between Neji Hyuga and Naruto Uzumaki. Sh9iba winced at the proclamation, and when Hiruzen gave a questioning look, Shiba said in a voice that showed she didn't care that it wasn't a secret "My daughter, is dating the Hyuga. Than there is Naruto, who is a direct relation, as a cousin, to Naruto. This is probably painful for her to watch because she cares for both of them."

Mei gave a soft looked towards the Uzumaki Matriarch, before they all turned towards the arena with curious look. While it was obvious that Naruto was Unpredictable, it was also obvious that Neji was a prodigy when it came to the hyuga arts, so this was a completely open match as to who would win. It could be Naruto due to his unpredictable nature, or it could Neji, with his mastery of the Hyuga arts, but it was a more even playing field due to naruto being used to having to deal with a slippery opponent due to practicing with Hinata. Due to that single fact the winner of this match was not even close to being able to be predicted.

When the match started no one knew what would happen, but Naruto instant created at least a dozen shadow clones that charged at Neji with a mixture of kunai and Shuriken at the same time. Unfortunately Neji dodged the weapons sent at him with ease, before he made all of the clone dispel with quick jabs to each of them. Not to long after that, Naruto went through a couple of hand seals before he yelled "Suiton: Mizurappa!"

The water that Naruto created with his jutsu, one that he had gotten from Shiba herself, was an overpowered version as the amount of water that he produced was a lot more than a normal genin should have been able to produce, but when you thought about the fact that he had monstrous reserves, and little control, it became obvious why the attack was so powerful compared to a normal one, though the water did little more than push Neji away, it was what Naruto wanted as he summoned a couple more shadow clones after that who immediately traveled away as fast as they could with a scroll and ink in their hands. Naruto on the other hand, created a couple more shadow clones after that to replace the ones that traveled off, and the three Naruto's charged at Neji once again with a plan in his head.

That was one thing that Naruto had learned a lot of when it came down to being with the Uzumaki clan. They had constantly beat it into his head that he needed to think before he reacted, and then they told him that he could use his ideas for pranks when he was a little kid as a base for his plans when it came to traps. To say that Naruto took to the trap plannings like a fish to water was a understatement. He had created so many elaborate traps with his Ideas that every single Uzumaki that looked at the trap designs shuddered to think what would have happened if Naruto ever decided to attack all of them with the traps he came up with. The fact that Shiba had told him not to use the trap plans he made for anyone that wasn't his enemy spoke wonders about his ability to make traps for seals and otherwise.

When Naruto trained with Jiraiya it took to another level after Naruto had gained the Toads for summoning. He could use the toads he could summon, even a small one, as bait, though he would tell the toad before hand, to get the enemy into the right area for when the traps would be set off. The fact that he told the toads this, as well as Jiraiya told him that he trusted his allies to be able to help him when he needed it. That was a given given how the boy acted towards everyone he held himself close to, but it also showed just what he believed his allies were. He didn't think of them as a way to get stronger, or just as an ally. He thought of them as someone he should protect, while they helped him. That alone said wonders about his character and personality.

When Naruto reached Neji, he immediately tried to dodge the attack that was sent his way, but he only managed to get out of the range for most of the hits, He still got hit by four of the jabs that was sent his way out of the mist that the water had managed to create. It was slightly a stupid Idea on Naruto's part when it came to the water with Neji's Byakugan and everything, but it became obvious that Naruto wasn't about to be brought down by something as simple as a couple of jyuken strikes to his Tenketsu. It also became obvious that Naruto had something up his sleeve when you took into consideration the fact that Naruto wasn't even fazed about the fact that he couldn't feel a part of his arm as well as a part of his leg.

Kira, who was literally on the edge of the railing was watching the fight really wishing that these two didn't have to fight each other, but when it came down to it, she was slightly happy that she was able to see Neji's abilities, his eyes, while creepy to others, were actually pretty nice to Kira. She admitted it to herself that she felt something towards Neji, but she felt really embarrassed about the actual words that popped into her head about the Hyuga. She would never be able say the words she wanted to outloud with the way she was thinking about it now. She liked the Hyuga, no like wasn't the right word. Maybe she even loved him, but she still needed to get to know him better before she determined that. As for the fight right now, she figured that she was going to be cheering silently for both of them. The cousin she found when she got here, and the boy that she liked.

When it came back to the actual fight, Naruto was barely standing at the moment, as he had been slightly careless, as well as getting into the plan he was making a bit too much for his own liking. It didn't help that he was sure that the stupid fox in his stomach was laughing his ass off at the fact that his container was getting his ass handed to him despite the plan that the blonde was trying to finish. Of course, by this point, both of them had used up a lot of chakra, though In naruto's case he still had plenty of chakra to burn from the Tenketsu he still had open. With a deep scowl on his face, he forced chakra through his system, and while it hurt like hell, he managed to forcefully open the Tenketsu that Neji had sealed, though he could feel the drain on his chakra due to what he did. Neji's frown deepened at the sight, but he determined that he would ask the blonde Uzumaki how he did that after the fight. To bad for the Hyuga he was so focused on Naruto that he didn't see a clone accidentally get into the blind spot of the Byakugan until it was too late, and a close slapped a paralysis seal onto his back, while Naruto himself rushed forward getting a Kunai onto the Hyuga's throat saying only one sentence towards him.

"Yield." That was the only word that Naruto said, but it became obvious that Naruto was on his last legs as well.

While Neji was stubborn, he knew that he had been beaten in this fight. Even though Naruto was on his last legs as well, if they were in a war at the moment, and Naruto had wanted to kill him, he would be dead this instant. With a small nod towards the proctor, the man said "The winner is Naruto uzumaki!"

Naruto took the seal off of Neji's back at this point, before Naruto helped to support Neji, to which he did the same to the Blonde. Both of the walked out of the area, right as Sasuke appeared in the center of the Arena. When Naruto saw this, he mumbled something similar to 'Show off' But Neji didn't say anything as they walked back to the observation area. Kira, as it turned out had decided to wait for the two of them, not even caring about the match between Sasuke and Gaara, instead deciding to meet the two boys when they arrived back, with Hinata next to her. The second that the two boys saw the girls, Naruto took off a little ways to the point that Kira and Neji wouldn't be able to hear them, nor see them for that matter.

The two stood away from each other for a few minutes, until Kira said "That was a pretty amazing thing you managed to do in the arena, even if you did lose, I wouldn't be surprised if you became Chuunin."

Neji gave a small nod towards what Kira said, though he didn't respond for a few minutes before he asked " What would you do if I asked you to meet my father after these exams are over?"

Kira's eyes widened at this, but then she said "I-I wouldn't really know what to say to that Neji. I Understand that everything is traditional when it comes to you clan, but my clan is the complete opposite. I wouldn't know how to act-"

Neji cut her off with a motion of his hand "I understand where you are coming from Kira. I do not think it will matter either. My father has visited your clans compound a couple of times during the last month and has talked to your mother. He understands how formality is not something that uzumaki are comfortable with. The reason for his visits were because of Hinata, but now with this reason, he knows how Uzumaki are with formalities. So, would you be willing to visit the hyuga clan compound?"

Kira gave a stunned look towards the Hyuga in front of him, before she gave a soft smile towards Neji and said "I would be happy to, though I have another question. Would your father at all... Tease me?"

Neji gave a slightly confused look, before he said "I'm, not sure. Why are you curious?"

Kira gave a slight sigh as she said "Most of the Uzumaki are sensitive about their hair color. Red hair isn't all that common in the elemental nations you know. I think I remember Ko telling me something about people calling him 'Tomato' when he was little because of his hair color. You need to understand I don't want to be angry or anything at him because of a misunderstanding."

Neji gave a look of understanding at this as he said "I understand what you are saying Kira. I will inform my father of you're warnings, as well as any other things you wish to inform me of that my father should know."

Kira gave a small smile at that, before she looked to the side to see Hinata, who looked slightly embarrassed, and Naruto, who looked the same way, walking towards herself and Neji. When Neji raised an eyebrow at the two, Kira gave a sheepish smile, and that right away told Neji what he wanted to know. With a Byakugan enhanced glare at Naruto, who froze in place, he said "If you hurt her in anyway, I will make you become sterile permanently."

Hinata's blush grew at that as she yelled in a indignant tone "N-Neji-Nii-san!"

Kira gave a laugh at the look on Hinata's face, before she heard Naruto say "I could say the same to you Neji. You hurt my Cousin in anyway, and I will make sure that you wont have to worry about a legacy."

The two boys looked at each other, with the girls looking on with worried expressions, before the two boys grabbed each other by their forearms and gave a nod in understanding. So long as they didn't try to hurt their respective family member, nothing would happen. Kira gave a flat stare at them before she sighed and turned to hinata while saying "Boys."

Hinata gave a giggle at that, which managed to get rid of the girls blush. It didn't really surprise them that the two boys would do something like this. When they thought about it, it was just something that men did. They always had a mutual understanding when it came down to one thing or another. In this case it was to protect one thing or another when it came down to blood relatives. Naruto to Kira, and Neji to Hinata. It was sweet to see that they cared for them, but the fact they threatened each other made the mood a mute point.

Their thoughts were broken however when they heard a maniacally laugh of pain, insanity, and something else that they couldn't place. When they walked back into the area, Naruto immediately froze as they saw Gaara in a small dome of sand. The next instant was where everything went to hell for them, as they saw some feathers fall from the sky.

So? What did you guys think of this chapter? I really hoped you guys liked it. In honesty I didnt know how this chapter would end up, but let me just say this. Once this chapter is over i'm going to do my best get more of naruto and hinata into the story then I did before. I hope you guys will like it at that point.

Now I still have the poll up for if I should add chapters for the timeskip or not, as well as lemons. So far here is the tally.

Lemons: 4

No time skip chapters: 3

Time skip chapters: 1

No lemons: 0

If you want to change something make sure you tell me. Like I said before, if im having a time chapters in here it will be up to four chapters or more, and I will be doing only one arc per year, which means up to three. Its for you guys to decide, so you better choose before anything else, becuase at the time for sasuke's defection, will be the deadline. Once the defection arc is over, then I am going to just continue on with the story depending on how things are for you guys.
