The New Yellow Flash
Disclaimer: If Naruto belonged to me...it would most likely suck...
My Opponent is…
Chapter 7
"WHA...!!" was all Naruto said out loud to Tsunade as she elegantly walked away, He was slightly stunned that she,…the Hokage was going to be his second opponent and not his first…his thoughts quickly raced because his new opponent would have to be stronger then the Hokage if…Konoha hadn't cracked it's nut that is.
'Jiriaya maybe?...' Naruto thought 'no granny could beat him up anyway…but who could I be fighting….' As the blond heads thoughts wondered realization dawned on him like a kunai in the back of the head, 'him' was all he thought as his bright blue eyes darkened and his hands clenched tightly into fists.
He closed his eyes and made his way off to the side to sit and relax while he could.

"So is it time yet?" one darkly figure said to another.
"No…lets let him settle in, besides you can't underestimate him, he is the new yellow flash after all" the other figure said his voice deeper and more controlled then the other.
"So when will we challenge him?" said the more giddy one.
"Soon…when he least expects it…" the more calmed one said.
"Yes…YES! YESSS!!!"
"…please…don't do that…especially with all the lights off…"
"Oh…. Yes sorry"

Sakura had been waiting patiently…and when she saw her mentor state about her status, Sakura could think of nothing but shock. 'She was really going to fight Naruto?...but that couldn't be…so who would be his new opponent? Is this person stronger than master?' But before Sakura could continue to concentrate anymore on thoughts of the battle soon to take place before her…she felt a hand on her shoulder…It was her teacher.
"Surprised Sakura?" Tsunade said with a smile gracing her lips…and yet holding sake in her left hand.
"Well yeah!" Sakura said in a slightly agitated voice.
"Well don't worry about it…the next fight should be interesting to say the least.."
"How so?"
"Ahhh!!" both Sakura and Tsunade cried out in unison scaring half the crowd.
"Stop doing that Kakashi-sensei!...you're going to give me a heart attack!" Sakura screamed once again into Kakashi's ear.
Tsunade rolled her eyes and downed some of her sake before either ninja could stop her from doing so, she took a deep breath and looked back over to find Sakura smacking Kakashi around like she once did Naruto and Sasuke so many years ago.
Tsunade sighed once more and then decided to gain her student and grey haired ninja's attention.
Sakura stopped and quickly apologized, the pink haired ninja stood motionless until she remembered "Oh…Tsunade-sama? What's so special about Naruto's last fight?...and who could be stronger than him, I mean look at how fast he was moving…who could be better?"
"Well I don't know if this young man is better…but it sure will be odd how Naruto reacts"
Sakura was about to question further, but before she could Tsunade quickly yelled "ALRIGHT BOTH NINJA'S PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE ARENA CENTER!!!"

Naruto wasted no time, in fact he hadn't really been paying attention to the world around him until, he heard Tsunade yell like a banshee across the dirt field… 'Well guess I'd better go before she gets mad'
Naruto stood up quickly and made his way from the tree he was sitting next to over to the field, as soon as he arrived, the world around him seemed noticeable once again, he could hear the crowd cheering…well force cheering after what the Hokage had done.
He felt his cape flow slightly in the breeze…then he felt someone else…next to him not to close…but not to far…everyone in the stands when silent…
Naruto turned his head and opened an eye to look at his adversary, 'black jacket, grey slim fit pants, a kunai holster, a mask like Kakashi's…and…black…chicken butt hair…'
"Yo!" was all the silent figure said…
"hmmm…" was Naruto's mono toned answer.
Silence filled the arena even further, to the point not the sharpest kunai couldn't cut it.
"You know what surprised me the most?"
"What?" was the dark haired ninja's response.
"I worked so damn hard to get your sorry ass here…and when I don't want you here…you show up!"
The ninja looked down, paused and then looked back up "Do you want me to leave? And never return?" he said calmly yet still sounding hurt.
The blond ninja paused as well; he closed his eyes and thought bitterly to himself, as if punishing himself for not knowing what to say.
'Even though you've broken me…torn me, stepped on me, ignored me, and used me…yeah let's go with that! Dattabyo!' Naruto thought smiling inside and giving a chibi version of himself a high five, and yet he still maintained his cool calmed mature self to everyone else around him.
The Orange and black dawning ninja brought his fist up to his mouth coughed, and then calmly began to speak.
'Even though you've broken me…torn me, stepped on me, ignored me…crap"
He began sweating bullets 'Shit what was I GOING TO SAY!'
The other ninja sweat dropped anime style, and soon the whole crowd…including Sakura…did the same.
Naruto did a complete one eighty and went from his panicking childish act to a quiet and calm aura.
"Listen…If I had to answer straightly…I'm not happy for what you did and why you did it but, we all made mistakes" the tall blond spoke with a smile on his face.
"Naruto…" The dark haired man said.
"So let's put the past behind us, and have the proper fight we should have had all those years ago…" Naruto said a smile growing on his face as he took his battle stance.
"Yes…lets" The man said taking his battle stance as well.
Suddenly a light wind and ere quiet filled the stadium, not a sound could be heard… until the blond decided to speak. "Oh by the way…take off the mask…Sasuke"
A sudden gasp echoed through the crowd from everyone…but mainly from Sakura.
