Disclaimer: I am not the owner of Naruto and I never will be. That sounded formal.
Four solid walls. Thirty-five Genin. One ninja stood calmly in all the bloody action. On his face, there was a tiny spot. This wasn't any mark; it was a bug. His glasses hid his eyes, and he had on a coat that covered the bottom portion of his head.
"Kikaichu no Jutsu." The ninja said in a voice that was almost completely silent.
Suddenly, a massive amount of bugs, at least one thousand, came from all over his body. They went to the floor, and began climbing up all the other Genin. When they were positioned, they slowly began to suck the chakra out of the Genin, without them even knowing. Suddenly all at once, every Genin fell to the ground, motionless. All the bugs quickly came back to the host; Aburame Shino. The 2 Jonin watching jumped down and escorted the Aburame back to the Hokage's office. Medical ninja came to pick up the dead remains.
The next perimeter was 35 yards away.
"KATON: HOUSENKA NO JUSTU!"
6 fireballs shot out of the mouth of the Uchiha, burning one Genin per fireball. Sasuke quickly ran up to one Genin and kicked him in the face, knocking him into two other Genin, making a total count of 9 down. Twenty six more Genin to go...he still had some Chakra left. Performing quick seals, he prepared his next attack.
"KATON: GOUKAKYU NO JUTSU!"
Opening his mouth, Sasuke let out a large ball of flame. It even set the grass and trees in the perimeter aflame, causing the fiery grass to set people's shoes on fire, which eventually rose up to their bodies and burned them to death. 10 Genin remained, and they decided to finish him together before going against themselves. Sasuke closed his eyes and quickly opening them again, revealing his Sharingan.
The remaining Genin threw a multiple amount of kunai and shuriken. Sasuke quickly dodged them all. Using the Sharingan to predict the other's Genin movements, he quickly made a shadow clone and appeared standing on the wall behind them. As soon as they attacked the clone, he came down and performed a powerful kick hitting the Genin farthest on the left, sending him flying to the right, crashing into the other Genin, knocking them unconscious. Sasuke deactivated the Sharingan and walked ahead of the Jonin, practically escorting himself. "I only used one third of my full strength there..." Medical ninja quickly came and gathered the unconscious/burned ninja.
The next perimeter was 47 yards away.
Inside, a kunoichi jumped up into the air, a long scroll spinning around her in a spiral formation. She spun along with the scroll, touching the several marks on the inside of the scroll. Summoning a ninja tool per symbol on the scroll, she threw them very quickly in every direction. When the symbol was used, it quickly disappeared, allowing one use per scroll. Kunai, shuriken, small swords, small scythes, and everything else. At least half of the other Genin were quickly killed if not knocked unconscious with just that one attack. She landed as the scroll disappeared, and the remaining Genin quickly ran away, jumping over the perimeter walls. The kunoichi smiled and laughed. "I understand why they would be afraid of me. I am Tenten, after all." She waited for the Jonin to come down and escort her back to Tsunade's office. A medical ninja team came to the unconscious Genin. Most of them hadn't had the weapons penetrate their skin hard enough to kill them, but some of them had their bones fractured.
54 yards until the next perimeter.
A ninja kicked a Genin into the air, and jumped in such a way that allowed him to appear under him. Grabbing them, he spun around so he was on top and then he simply pushed them to the ground. He was smart enough to not even try the Omote Renge in the preliminaries. The Genin fell down unconscious, and the green-suited user came back down. This was Rock Lee, taijutsu specialist. 2 Genin quickly rushed to attack him, and he performed a roundhouse kick and knocked them unconscious. He ran toward another Genin and punched him in the face with so much force he went flying back into one of the walls while taking another 2 Genin with him.
"Konoha Daisenpu!"
Lee leaped forward and performed a spinning kick with both legs. One of the Genin targeted ducked, so the higher leg hit the Genin behind him and the second leg still hit the one that ducked since the second leg was lowered just incase that were to happen. Several Genin were left, and they all ran in a straight line toward Lee. They were no doubt going to disperse when they got close, but Lee wouldn't allow that. He ran forward, and kicked the leader in the face with extreme force, knocking him unconscious. He went flying back, knocking all the other Genin behind him (which were at least 20), which knocked them all unconscious too. Lee smiled and kicked the air in front of him as he was brought back to Tsunade's office. A medical ninja team arrived to survey the damage and bring the Genin to the hospital; most of them had suffered from minor fractures and broken bones.
A short 10 yards until the 5th perimeter.
"Byakugan!"
Veins suddenly appeared around his eyes. A near perfect vision of 360 degrees. He quickly grabbed a kunai coming at him from behind and quickly spun around, throwing it back and also snapping someone's neck at the same time. 3 Genin were leaping at him from behind. He turned around and performed a quick slide under them, causing them to hit the ground head-first, causing concussions to all of them. He smirked as he saw 10 out of the remaining Genin all run toward him, kunai-in-hand.
"Hakkesho Kaiten!"
Spinning very quickly, the ninja began to use a solid amount of chakra expelled from his entire body. This created some sort of a force field around him, and the Genin charging at him went flying back as soon as they made contact with it. All the Genin flying back caused the other Genin standing around to go unconscious too, as they had crashed into them. Stopping the spin, Hyuuga Neji gave a small smirk as he brought his eyes back to normal and escorted himself back to the Hokage's office, pretending like the Jonin weren't there. The medical ninja team arrived and saw most of them had lived, just that they were knocked unconscious.
The 6th perimeter, 30 yards away from the 5th, held possibly the most deadly contestant.
Sabaku no Gaara.
Gaara stood on top of the wall, the other Genin fighting each other not even noticing him. He waited for the perfect moment. It came when all the Genin focused on the weakest one there, who was cowering in the corner. In an instant, Gaara released a large quality of sand from his gourd. The sand quickly crept down the wall, and wrapped itself around the neck of the Genin in the corner. The other Genin backed away quickly at the sight of this. The cowering Genin was lifted by the sand and slammed into the wall. The sand let go of the neck the second the Genin hit the wall, making sure to not kill him, but only to knock him unconscious. Gaara looked to the other Genin. They all gave up and vanished, and Gaara was escorted to Tsunade's office. A single medical ninja came to the unconscious ninja that was slammed against the wall; his head was hit so hard against the wall he would probably be in a coma for at least 2 years.
The 7th perimeter, 14 and ½ yards away from the 6th, held possibly the smartest and most tactical contestant.
Nara Shikamaru.
Shikamaru sat in the corner, an upside down circle formed with his two hands. He was in his thinking pose. He was thinking of a solution to take out 34 enemies quickly, before anything would get to...troublesome. He looked up at the clouds...calm and peaceful...nothing like what was going on in this mini prison. He got up and performed a quick seal.
"Kagemane no jutsu," Shikamaru said in a low voice, making sure not to be heard.
His shadow quickly crawled along the floor, and no one even noticed. The shadow made its way to one Genin that was about to throw a kunai at another one. For some reason, he felt like he couldn't. The Genin looked down and saw a thin line of shadow extend to a smirking Shikamaru. The Genin was now bound to Shikamaru's every movement. Shikamaru reached for a kunai in his pouch, and the other Genin did the same. Shikamaru turned around so that he was facing the wall opposite of him. There were no other Genin in his way; however, the Sound Genin he was attached to was facing all the other fighting Genin. In swift movements, Shikamaru threw kunai at different angles toward the wall he was facing. The Sound Genin did the same, but since the other Genin were in his way, he had thrown kunai into them, whether it be their legs or arms and even their backs. Shikamaru kept throwing, making sure to get the correct angles. Eventually all the other Genin except Shikamaru and the Genin he was attached to were immobilized in extreme pain. Shikamaru threw a kunai in the Sound Genin's direction, and the Sound Genin did the same. While Shikamaru threw the kunai, he released his shadow, and quickly bent over. The Sound Genin, thinking the shadow still connected theme, expected to duck also. When he realized that they weren't bound together anymore, the kunai stabbed him in the head, causing instant death. Shikamaru went back to Tsunade's office, hands stifled in his pockets. The medical ninjas arrived; nothing more than a few stabs and a few bones fractures besides the one who didn't die.
The 8th perimeter, a very short 7 yards away from the one holding Shikamaru.
Inside there, a ninja had a multiple amount of strings attached to his fingers. He stood on top of the wall, and below, his puppets stood still. The Genin below backed away quickly, putting as much distance between them as they could. The puppeteer laughed as his puppets released a poisonous gas inside the perimeter. He made sure to not let it escape the perimeter itself. The other Genin began coughing and running around, trying to escape. Some of them began to scale the using their wall-climbing jutsu to escape, but halfway on the wall they all fell down to their death from inhaling too much of the gas. The puppeteer stored the puppets away and walked off toward Tsunade's office. The medical ninjas came and checked the amount of the gas in their systems. It had killed all their internal organs. Kankuro and his puppets were their last sight.
8 perimeters out of 14 cleared so far. The 9th was holding the Hyuuga heir to the throne, Hinata, cousin to Hyuuga Neji.
"Byakugan!"
Hinata quickly ducked dodging a kunai which then ended up impaling the young Genin in front of her. She turned around quickly delivered a punch to a Genin's face that was about to attempt a stab.
"Juken!"
Hinata performed a quick side step and gave a small unimpressive hit with the palm of her hand to a Genin's chest. The Genin quickly fell down in excruciating pain. This was the Juken. Through the use of the Byakugan and excellent Chakra control, the user can forcefully channel their own chakra into the enemy's inner coil system, damaging vital organs. Hinata quickly stopped all the Genin coming her way with a simple tap on the shoulder, stomach, or even an arm, which rendered them immobile. When she had finished everyone off, her eyes returned to normal and she waited for the Jonin escorts. She walked back to the Hokage's office in a very quiet and shy manner, her Jonin escorts ahead of her. After the medical ninja team came, they saw that ones not attacked by Juken were lucky.
"Good luck, Naruto-kun..."
The 10th perimeter stood a whole 120 yards away from the 9th.
Inside, a certain pink-haired kunoichi was throwing kunai and shuriken in a quick rush. All the Genin wanted her out first. She quickly focused chakra into her feet and ran along the walls, throwing kunai and shuriken in every direction. She took out half of the Genin in a very quick manner. The kunoichi suddenly fell on the ground though; she had wasted too much of her chakra using the wall-climbing jutsu. The Genin closed in on her, smirks on their faces, knowing that the troublesome kunoichi was finished. When one the Genin stabbed her with a kunai, it turned out to be a wooden log. A wooden log with an explosive tag. The Genin quickly turned around and jumped in an attempt to escape the perimeter, but the explosive tag set the insides of the perimeter aflame, badly burning the other Genin. The kunoichi jumped out of a tree in the perimeter area with a smile on her face. The medical ninja team came and saw nothing but stabs and burns.
"HELL YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT! HARUNO SAKURA GOING TO EXTREME SHINOBI CHALLENGE!" Sakura's Inner said with an explosive voice. Sakura was then escorted to Tsunade's office.
The 11th perimeter. The most isolated perimeter, an enormously long 532 yards away from the 11th, right in the middle of the dense forest that all the perimeters were in.
"JUJIN BUNSHIN!"
2 ninja look-alikes began to fight the other Genin the area. A kick to the face, a punch to the stomach, even a bite to the arm. Suddenly a Genin appeared behind the look-alike and stabbed him in the stomach with a kunai. The look-alike quickly changed into a dog.
"Akamaru!"
The real ninja charged head first toward the dog, knocking at least 3 Genin unconscious. Quickly picking up the dog, he fed him a small red pill. Letting go the dog, its fur turned red and its teeth grew sharper.
"Akamaru, again!"
The dog quickly jumped on the back of its owner as the owner bended over.
"JUJIN BUNSHIN!"
The dog transformed into an exact copy of its owner once again; Inuzuka Kiba.
"GATSUGA!"
Kiba and Akamaru jumped into the air and began spinning at a ferocious speed, bouncing off the walls and floors, ripping apart the Genin when contact was made. They landed back on the ground and Akamaru went back to his dog form and jumped back in Kiba's coat. Kiba went ahead of the Jonin toward Tsunade's office, praising Akamaru for his good work. When the medical ninjas arrived, they found out it was the same deal with Hinata; the ones who weren't hit by the special attack were the lucky ones.
The 12th perimeter, 400 yards away from the 11th. This perimeter and the 10th are the ones that make the 11th isolated.
On the inside of the walls, a blonde kunoichi was having trouble with the other Genin. She needed to distract them to finish it off the way she wanted it too. Putting chakra in the soles of her shoes, she ran to the top of the south wall and threw a kunai with 3 explosive tags tied to the end of it toward the center of the stage. All the others quickly dodged it, but were blinded for a short amount of time by all the smoke. The blonde quickly made her way to the only tree in the perimeter and settled herself behind the leaves, rendering herself invisible. When the smoke cleared, all the other Genin looked around, searching for her.
"Shintenshin no Jutsu," the blonde said in a very quiet tone.
The blonde-haired girl's spirit slowly exited her body and entered a random Genin. Now in control of that body, she quickly rendered all the Genin except the one her spirit was in unconscious with a quick punching combo and a lower spin kick. She let her spirit free and brought it back to herself. Once conscious, she saw the one Genin she took control of confused, thinking he had won. The blonde-haired girl threw a kunai with an explosive tag when the Genin was facing the other way. The kunai settled itself in the Genin's back, and shortly after the explosive tag exploded, causing instant death. She jumped out and screamed, "Ino wins again!" Yamanaka Ino walked ahead of the Jonin like many of the other Genin, proud of herself. The medical team came and saw the only that was really dead was the last one killed. Apparently the explosive set all of his inner organs aflame and completely disrupted his flow of chakra.
The 13th perimeter, a mild 43 yards away from the 12th, held the ever excited Naruto.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!"
And like that, 49 more Narutos appeared everywhere. All the Genin charged forward although clearly outnumbered. Many of the Naruto clones were gone in an instant, even though they did deal some damage before going. When all the clones were gone, 14 Genin still stood excluding Naruto. Naruto quickly made 37 clones. Now in a total number 38, 14 of the clones gathered rotating chakra in their hands, and one clone formed it per sphere. The 14 helper clones quickly disappeared and each Naruto went toward one Genin.
"RASENGAN!"
The balls of spinning chakra hit each of the Genin hard in the stomach. All of them went flying back and collided with the southern wall. Naruto smirked as his clones disappeared. He ran far ahead of his Jonin watchers, excited to be entered into the Extreme Shinobi Challenge. The medical team came and saw the ones hit with the Rasengans were critically injured, if not already dead.
The final perimeter, a short 23 yards away from the 13th, held the contestant who used wind as her main weapon. Temari.
Inside, all the Genin were creeping slowly toward Temari, knowing that she was too much of a threat to fight on their own. Temari sighed and examined her nails. One brave Genin leaped forward in an attempt to stab her, but she simply looked up and hit him in the face with the end her closed fan, sending him flying backward into the southern wall, killing him. She opened her fan revealing one purple circle.
"One moon..."
Two Genin ran forward, thinking she was bluffing about her strength, to attack. Temari quickly created a small air current that pushed them to the southern wall also, although only knocking them unconscious. She opened her fan father revealing a second circle.
"Two moons..."
Three Genin leaped forward and threw 1 kunai each toward Temari, each equipped with an explosive tag. Temari sighed and waved her fan, turning the kunai around in mid air, and then she waved it again, making them fly backward toward the Genin and impale the three Genin themselves. She set down her fan and ducked under the cover of it to make sure not to take any damage of the explosions. She stood up again and opened her fan to its fullest potential. The three Genin backed away as they saw the 3rd moon. They turned around and began to run to the wall, in an attempt to escape death.
"Kamaitachi no Jutsu!"
Using one powerful wave of her fan, Temari created a huge whirlwind fused with chakra. The other Genin were thrown into the air and their bodies began to get cut apart. They all fell down with a thud; they were unconscious. Temari threw a small "Hmph" as she closed her fan and put it on her back. She walked behind her Jonin escorts, examining her nails. The medical ninja team and saw that only the Genin hit in the head with the fan was the only one that suffered death; all the others were badly cut and knocked unconscious.
And so, the preliminaries were finished.
