DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or S-Cry-Ed

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Now to check on the polls. For those who said two or more, I'll count them as harems and individual votes. Also the ones to come from S-Cry-Ed will be Scheris, because of how she disappeared in the series and Kanami, for the reader's sakes.

Tenten: 3

Temari: 5

Hinata: 10

Sakura: 5

Ino: 2

Scheris: 0

Kanami: 4

Harem: 12

Well it seems that the harem is winning by two points ahead of Hinata, but the polls are not done yet and I will not make my decision until most likely when I'm at chapter 5. So you guyz still got time, now on with the story.

THE COMPETITION AND THE START OF AN ATTACK

The two stood there, without moving a muscle, waiting for their one opportunity to strike down their opponent. A few moments went by and Naruto was getting real antsy, and so his temper got the better of him. You see he may of have gone through some rigorous training, but he didn't learn to have patience in battle, plus Kazuma's influence wasn't really doing any better for him either. So he rushed in, breaking ground from where his foot launched from with his right fist cocked back, ready to give a right hook to the Hyuuga prodigy. But Neji redirected the punch with a slight use of his palm, but the hyperactive ninja wasn't going to stop there. The former blond turned the force of his redirected punch and readjusted his body to do a roundhouse kick. But once again, the pale-eyed young man anticipated the attack and stopped the force of the kick by blocking it lazily; he then threw the boy over his shoulder by grabbing onto his ankle. After the initial throw, Naruto caught himself in the air and wildly flipped to the ground harmlessly, and then flew back to attack the Hyuuga prodigy. First by throwing in a right jab to his face, then quickly working in a flurry of punches to the Hyuuga, but the said young man dodged and blocked each strike thrown at him which served to annoy the new Alter user. After being done with his missed combo punches, he did a quick high kick and then immediately jumped to perform a stomp kick, but once again the Hyuuga dodges. When he lands on the ground, he turns his body back to him only to come face to face with the pale-eyed young man. Neji then threw out a chakra infused palm and it bursts out with its energy, only leaving that very palm inches from Naruto's chest, making the said boy to stagger back a bit from the simple attack. Neji then got ready to strike one of the former blondes chakra points.

Within this moment, Naruto started to remember what his friends and sensei said about the style the Hyuugas use, which was called something like 'Hake' or 'Gentle fist' for better thought of the style itself. Because the chakra points are impossible to see to the human eye and are directly connected to a persons chakra system (if you want an explanation on the chakra system, check Naruto sites or other things) These very chakra points can only be seen, and that's to be assumed, by the Hyuuga's dou-jutsu, the Byakugan; and when they hit a point with this style, they can effect chakra flow by either halting it or increasing it. Depending on how the attacker strikes the chakra points. A good example was the fight between Hinata and Neji in the prelims, even though young Hyuuga heiress has the same style, when her cousin used its attacks against her, he almost killed her.

Quickly thinking up of a plan before the strike hit a point on his shoulder, he quickly channeled chakra to his feet and got out of the way of the strike, he then skidded a bit in circle, out of the Hyuuga's reach. (You know, like how Kazuma skids around on the floor) When Neji got out of his slight surprise, he immediately got back into his stance.

"Do you understand now? You have no way of beating me," the Hyuuga prodigy said in his usual cocky manner.

"You know, besides Hinata, you Hyuugas are really some arrogant bastards who just can't seem to see past themselves. If you haven't even noticed, those attacks I have been doing were meant to gauge you skill and strength, and it seems you haven't notice I have been holding back, A LOT," this served to anger the prodigy, how dare this loser try to embarrass him and insult his knowledge on his opponents.

"Well, now that is all done, it's time we got this show on the road," he then started to power up, and then thought back to what the old pervert said to him," oh and just so you know, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE HERE WITH A KEKKEI GENKAI," the area around him then 'boomed' out of existence.

The audience watched what happened in awe of what was happening, they saw the boy darken in color and then glow with an eerie light. Then the area exploded, while that was happening, the boy's right arm split into three parts. Red spikes then began to appear on his back and a gold lace strapped back the splitted arm back together, then starting from the hand to the shoulder, a stranger gauntlet appeared one segment at a time. When he was done, he tightened his clenched fist's grip and then brought it up to his face. Everyone stared in wonder at what the boy had called his own bloodline limit.

Many thoughts were running rampant, but most notable were the thoughts of the newly powered boy's friends, the competitors and a lot of clans, plus one sadistic snake.

"Wha-what the hell?! What the hell is Naruto using and how did he found out he even HAD a Kekkei Genkai??" this question came from one pink haired kunoichi, Sakura Haruno, who was on the same team as the former blond was on.

"I-I don't know, but I bet that's what made him look like he does now. It must have been the power his bloodline limit had to change his body that way. Man if that's the case, I wonder what the boy's in his family look like," at the last sentence, Ino had a far, dreamy thought of all the hunky guys in Naruto's family.

'Yea, I wonder if they, ar…wait a minute. I love sasuke, there's no possible way for me to like Naruto in that way, even though he does have a great body, uh, no think of Sasuke. Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke, Naruto, 'long mind grunt' why am I even thinking this. Oh well, better cheer him,' and with that last thought she proceeded to yell at her cheering for the boy to win.

While in her mind, inner Sakura was yelling out protests to her real self,' CHA, WHAT THE HELL?! COME ON, HE LOOKS A LOT MORE BETTER THAN SASUKE AND YOU KNOW THAT HE'LL EVEN PROTECT US WITH HIS LIFE, IF THAT'S NOT LOVE THEN YOUR OUT OF YOU DAMN MIND. CHA"

During the talk the girls were having about the boy, Kiba and Hinata had a few things to say. Starting off was Kiba," whoa, look at that thing. It looks like it could tear anyone to shreds with those claws it has and I wonder what the spikes on his back are for?"

Hinata could only stare in astonishment at what he crush just did and felt that he would win this fight for sure," I see some great power coming from that arm and the spikes as well. It looks like he will win, Kiba," she said with a warm smile.

"Yea, the hair on the back on my neck are standing and were just sitting up here from that much of a distance, if that's not power, I don't know what is," said the dog-boy while his little puppy was slightly shivering from the power the arm is putting out.

Tenten who was sitting by herself was now speechless at what she saw. She now didn't know who would win this match now, the trick this kid pulled out of no where could probably, since they have no knowledge of what it does, could have left all the training she did with Neji turn to nothing,' Now this looks like trouble…I wonder if he's single, wait a sec, why am I thinking of something like that?? I like Neji, but he does have a real hunky body, uuuhh, stop that, think of Neji, Neji, Neji…' and the she tried to continue the mantra throughout her head.

"What the hell is that?!" this one coming from Kankuro of the sand team," I've never seen anything like that before."

"Y-yea, m-me either," said Temari of the sands, who was blushing. Why would the sand kunoichi blush, even though for the longest time in her career she has kept her base emotions in check and has never blushed a day in her life? Well, it could be the thoughts of she's having of what she thinks of the boy,' Wow, he looks even more hot than he was moments ago, WAIT, WHAT THE HELL?! Where the hell did that come from? Come on Temari, he's going to soon be an enemy ninja, why even think about hooking up with him when you haven't even talked to any boys, period. But he does have a nice ass, uh, no bad Temari, down. Think of the mission, think of the mission.'

Gaara as usual, stayed in his stoic manner,' what is this power? I can feel it from here and it feels like that arm has some demonic chakra on it. Maybe he wasn't bluffing when he said he had a demon in him, maybe when I kill him, I can ask which one he houses," thought the crazed sand user, getting excited at the thought of killing this ninja, besides Sasuke Uchiha.

Every one else in the waiting area and audience stands was silent with their mouth wide open, except for Shino who kept his cool and only raised an eyebrow. We then turned our gaze to the Kages in the high stands of the stadium who were watching the match with astonishment on their faces.

"Lord Hokage, why didn't you tell me this boy had a Kekkei Genkai," said the fake Kazekage, who was none other then Orichimaru, the Kage of the sound village and all time snake bastard of the Naruto universe,' if I had known he had this kind of power, I would have given him a curse mark as well. Oooh, I can just feel the power radiating from that boy. Maybe once I'm done with killing the old man, I can go and retrieve the boy myself, kukukuku,' thought the snake bastard.

"Honestly Lord Kazekage, I had no idea the boy had this kind of power," said the Third Hokage in a shocked voice,' hmmm, this must be what Jiraiya has told my about Naruto. That must be the arm he used to get himself out of danger and knock out Jiraiya. I only hope that showing it now doesn't prove to be fatal for the boy,' the old man thought once he gained his cool back. (I'll leave out the clans, since I don't know them at all)

"What do you think of my Kekkei Genkai Neji? Ya like it? I call it my 'Grand Breaker', first stage (hey, at least it's a name right?) and you're gonna be the first to feel its power," Naruto then cocked his right fist back," You ready? No, well that doesn't matter because here I come, SHOCKING FIRST BULLET," the boy then charged forward with the lower spike breaking away and jetting him forward toward the Hyuuga prodigy.

The said young man hardly had time to react to the attack as he barely dodged the powered up punch. The pain he felt just from the graze of it hitting the left of his ribs made him scared a bit, If that punch had land a decent hit on him, he would of been down for the count. He began to think that he might have to pull out all the stops for this opponent, even though he still considered him a loser. But one to be afraid of, that's for sure. When he looked back to where he was going to stop, he saw him skid a bit in circle, but suddenly he vanished from his sight. Searching the area with the vision of his Byakugan, which had the vision a 360 degree, he found the boy coming at him at great speeds, almost as fast Lee to his surprise, (remember he had to work real hard with weights all over his body in order to have control of his alter, so I made him this fast.) but that didn't matter because he was not going to surprise him again like last time.

"I've got you now," said the speeding Alter user, ready to give a good left hook to his arrogant opponent; right when he was about to hit his face in, he is only stopped by a form of chakra, shielding the young man's face while he also holds a smirk on that very face. Naruto then saw a swirl of chakra going around, the prodigy then spun around creating a rotation like shield around him. The surprised boy was thrown far by the burst of rotating of chakra.

"Wh-what the hell?! Damn, looks like I need to use the next bullet already," Naruto then staggered back to his feet, but when Neji heard he was going to use the next 'bullet', he only assumed he was talking about the remaining two red spikes on his back and he was not to going to let him have a chance at doing another powerful move like that again on him. The Hyuuga prodigy then get into a strange stance, to which only those who used the style of 'gentle fist' knew what attack he was going to use next on the unsuspecting victim, known as Naruto.

"Like I'll allow you to do such a thing…you're in range and you can't escape my eight trigrams," he said in the in unusual stance, he then calmly says the technique he'll use," 'Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms'," Neji then charges forward and spins to land in two hits.

"Eight Trigrams: Two Palms," he land in both hits at the same time, Naruto staggers a bit from the two hits.

"Four Palms," landing in more hits, gradually the boy pain is growing.

"Eight Palms," the attacker increases a little more in speed at the hits.

"Sixteen Palms," the pain Naruto feeling now is driving his mind nuts.

"Thirty-Two Palms," the Hyuuga prodigy's hands hitting the boys body, almost going in a blur.

"Sixty-Four Palms," then Neji hits Naruto with the number of strikes in a blink of an eye. With the last attack, the sheer force then throws Naruto back. Try as he may to get back up, that attack took a lot out of him.

The proctor then walks over in between them," looks this match is already over, as interesting as it was, I was hoping it would have gone longer."

"I have now striked all sixty four of your chakra points. Your lucky to even still be breathing," the Hyuuga prodigy said in his superior voice.

"Hehehe, you just don't get do you. Chakra isn't the only power a human has, you ass," Naruto then began to glow in a golden, yellow chakra. He was using his Alter power to heal is chakra points.

Neji startled by this, activates his Byakugan to see what's happening,' I-impossible, his chakra points are reopening. How is that even possible?" the something begins to form where the chakra is generating from, almost as if it is forming an image,' huh? What is that?'

When the image becomes somewhat, it takes the form of fox-like demon and that startles the boy," Wh-what are you?"

"Well I guess if it's name you want to give my clan, then so be it? My clan is the Uzumaki clan, the clan of 'Alter Users'," the new brunette said in his own cocky voice. He knew if he was going to have family with anyone, thanks to 'the talk' he had with Kazuma, that his family line would become the new Alter users of this World.

"Why?" the Hyuuga asked, which confused Naruto by what he meant," why do you even try so hard? I have done nothing against personally, so why do you want to beat me so badly," for once the Hyuuga didn't know what he had done.

"Hmph, and here you said that you knew everything," he said sarcastically, but the got angered real quick," You don't remember what you did to Hinata, the way you played your mind games on her, tearing her down when she tried so hard to get here."

"That's it? That is a matter that doesn't concern you at all," he wondered why this boy was pocking his nose where it didn't belong.

"You mocked Hinata by calling her a failure, all that stuff about the great Hyuuga clan; Main households, Branch families, who gives damn? It gives no right to judge others as such, and that's one of the reasons I have got against you," the new Alter user said in enraged voice.

"Well I guess since it seems that you're so interested in our clans doings, I'll tell you about them," the angered Hyuuga was about to go on into a speech of his hatred towards the Main household and what wrongs they have done him, but was cut of by his opponent.

"Ah, shut up about it, I don't need to know about your sob story. The only thing that I have on my mind now is to kick your ass," he then cocked his hand out again, ready to release his next bullet, but gave one last comment," Neji, anyone can change their destiny, we can always change it. If you don't believe me, then tell me, why do you struggle against it yourself?" (I had him have the knowledge granted to him about he struggles of the Hyuuga's while he was training, I'm not going to flash back it though)

The last question caught the Hyuuga prodigy, which left Naruto enough time to get in his next attack," TAKE THIS, ANNIHILATTING SECOND BULLETIING," he then took a quick spin and propelled himself towards the stunned young man. When he got in range, Neji got out of his thoughts and quickly did his 'rotation', the power of the two techniques collide and bring a force of blinding light, an explosion then occurs. The very explosion sends two figures sailing in opposite directions, forming craters that cover the bodies of the two.

When everyone got their eyesights back, they looked at the form craters covering the bodies of the two competitors. When everyone saw one of them move, a hand shot out of the rubble and revealed to be none other then…Neji. The said young man the walked over the other crater, with a bit of a limp. He then saw the boys body crumpled up in pain, a cocky smirk grew on his face at the moment,' heh, I knew he couldn't go against his destiny, no one can ev…' but then he was cut off as an uppercutting punch shoot of from the ground.

"Oh I'm not done yet you ass," he then formed a shadow clone and had it kick the Hyuuga further up in the air, he then used the clone itself as a jumping base and went after the prodigy in the air. He then proceeded to give a series of punches and kicks that seemingly defy gravity, raising them further up. At last part of his combo, he cocked his right Alter hand back for one last strike," THIS THE END, EXTERMINATING LAST 'SPIRAL' BULLET."

The difference between the two type of bullets was that the regular one would burst out the last bits of it energy and crush it opponents, but this version was meant to be used for this kind of situation. When the opponent is below him in the air, he can focus the last bullet to hold off a bit while releasing its power in a 'spiral' and when it hits, the punch holds onto the opponent until they hit dead center on the ground. (Think of Yugo from Bloody Roar when he uses his super, only with Naruto's new Alter instead of biting.)

When the two boys hit the ground, with Naruto jumping off from the impact while yelling out his new combo technique," GRAND SPIRAL FANG BARRAGE."

The sheer force of the combo had Neji almost on the verge of being knocked out, which meant his body was totally stunned," 'cough' the Shadow Clone, I should have known. It's the technique you specialize in." as he said that the body that was in the crater poofed out of existence while revealing a whole in place of the clone. Most likely done by Naruto who used his Alter to drill through the dirt.

"Just so you know, I failed my graduation exams three time in a row. Because there was this one jutsu they always used that made me fail, the one jutsu that I couldn't master at all, so wanna take a guess at the jutsu that made me fail? No, well it was the clone jutsu," that got a surprised look on the prodigy's face," So don't start bitching to me about 'destiny this' or 'destiny that'. A person can change Neji, even you. Change is always not easy, but it's always worth it and when I become Hokage, I'll change the Hyuuga's hold on the Branch family. Yea, I heard about the 'Caged Bird' seal, so I give you my word Neji, that I, Naruto 'Shell Bullet' Uzumaki, will change the way of your clan."

For some reason, the pale-eyed young man believed his words and resigned himself to state of unconsciousness. The proctor smiling at the scene, yells out the result of the match," THE WINNER IS NARUTO UZUMAKI."

The crowd cheered for the said boy's victory, the male portion cheering him for giving what the jerk needed, a good beat down. While the female portion were cheering on their new idol, while also holding up a new 'WE LOVE YOU NARUTO' sign. But all in all, they were impressed with him and wanted to give him his respects.

Up in the high stands the two Kages, which one was a fake and belonged to another village, were greatly impressed by the new Alter users power.

'Remarkable, his strength is truly unrivaled and I can tell he was holding back, a lot. I wonder how he came to such a degree of control and power on controlling 'Kazuma's' power,' thought the Third Hokage in shock and admiration of the boy.

'Now I know, I must have that power, he may very well be better than Sasuke and his Sharingan, kukukuku,' these thoughts belonged to the snake bastard.

"My, my, my, the boy has great skill I must say and his Kekkei Genkai is most impressive. It would be a shame if he ever left your village, wouldn't it?" Orichimaru said in his masked voice of the Kazekage.

"Indeed, but I know his devotion is towards this village and he won't do anything of the sort, because his dream is to take my job and I just may do so when he gets to a certain age," Sarutobi was proud that he had someone such as Naruto to become Hokage in the future, he knew the village would be in good hands in the future if the boy stays true to his dream.

The medic nins come and take Neji away to recuperate, leaving Naruto waving towards the crowd with him acting like goofy idiot, but also giving his patented foxy grin which made little of the girl part of the audience faint at, the grin just made him look to sexy for them while the guys envy and pity the boy. They know he'll from now on be prey to the girls in Konoha, like a certain Uchiha.

After he was done acting like a goof, he then went up to the waiting balcony area and saw his two friends, Shikamaru and Shino Aburame the bug user," hey guys, what's happenin'? Hope you guys like my match."

"Man Naruto, you have some impressive power and if I had known you had that power, then I wouldn't have went off on you after that incident at the hospital," said the lazy ninja thinking if Naruto used his power, he might have gave Gaara a good run for his money and just maybe beat him.

"Yes, very impressive Naruto," the silent bug user in a monotone voice. Though he didn't show it, he was really impressed by the boy and was hoping he didn't have to fight him in the competition.

"Heh, thanks guys," he was glad he at least beat the Hyuuga prodigy, the person that people said was impossible to beat and that made him feel that he was one step closer to becoming Hokage. He then started to notice the crowds shouts for the next match to start, he then remembered who was next," Hey, where the hell is Sasuke?"

"Hmm, now that you mention it, he still not here. That damn Sasuke, what the hell does he think he's doing? Is he forfeiting?" the lazy ninja was really wanting to see this match as well.

"A wise man never quits danger, leading to a wise decision," Shino speaking in his monotone voice.

"Well, one thing I do know is that Sasuke wouldn't miss this match for the world, the bastard will definitely be here," the new Alter user then shot a glare at the sand user with a mischievous smirk, who shot his own glare back,' but seriously, just what the hell is he doing? If he doesn't get her soon, that ass is going to get disqualified.'

Then Naruto saw the same man that informed Genma of his new look, appeared in front of him and started to tell him something. He saw the proctor nod in understanding the situation, he then calls out to the crowd," listen here folks, one of the competitor for the next match has not arrived yet, so were going to postpone this match briefly and simply jump ahead to the next battle that was to follow this one."

This shocked everyone; they were all wondering what the last Uchiha could be doing to miss this match.

Naruto lets out a sigh of relief; he didn't want his teammate to be disqualified because he wanted to beat him himself, badly. He wanted to show the jerk what kind of 'loser' he was to the cocky brooder.

"Hey, wait a minute, that means my battle is one match closer, what drag," the lazy ninja was really not liking this, he really didn't want to fight, especially a girl. As he would say, this is just troublesome.

"Alright, Shino, Kankuro, come down here so that we may start the next match," Genma yelled out to the two. Shino gripped the rail to jump down to the stadium floor, but Kankuro didn't' want to fight and show his puppets capabilities to the soon to be leaf enemies, so he calls out to the proctor.

"Sorry proctor, but I forfeit this match," this shocked the three boys and the audience, why was he backing out now everyone thought," I said I withdraw, so please, advance to the next match," though Shino didn't show it, he was really pissed off.

This also disappointed Genma," 'sigh' due to Kankuro's withdrawal, Shino Aburame wins by default."

Temari, sick and tired of the crowd's displeasement to not seeing the next match, proceeds to bring out her fan and blows a gust of wind when she glides down. Though Naruto doesn't show it, he is impressed at her level of control at manipulating the wind. If ever he gets chance, he could ask the girl how she controls the wind so well and may be able to add some of the winds affects to his Alter. He then looks to Shikamaru and sees that he his really worried, Naruto let's out bit of a chuckle at the boy's situation to fight this girl.

Naruto sees that the proctor and the sand kuniochi talk to each other, most likely the proctor identifying the competitor for the next match. He sees Genma nod his head and calls out the lazy boy to come down.

"Aww, come on. What are you doing moving these matches up like this? Why does have to be my stupid match that gets pushed up? Oh man, this is such a drag," Shikamaru continually complains to himself about the way thing are going in this competition.

"Shikamaru Nara, Come on," the proctor was getting impatient at the boys delays.

'great, if it's going to be like this, maybe I'll withdraw too,' he was about to call out to the proctor to withdraw, but a certain former blond had to mess that up.

"Shikamaru, hurry up and get your ass down there," Naruto then kicks the lazy boy right in the ass and the boy falls straight down to the stadium ground, and lands straight on his back.

The lazy boy gives one thought the new Alter users action,' thanks whole lot Naruto, you fucking ass,' he says in his thoughts with a scowl on his face.

'You'll thank me for this Shikamaru, at least I hope so,' thought the former blond and hoped the lazy wouldn't hold this against in the future.

But what mad the case worst that the crowd didn't seem like they wanted him to be in the ring at all and started to throw anything they had, nothing really hard though. This really pissed himself off," hey Shikamaru, get your ass in gear and get to kicking some ass," but since he was yelling out loud enough he decide to tease the girl a little that was the lazy boy's opponent," but don't kick her ass to hard, I mean someone as sexy as that doesn't deserve to be hurt to badly."

He saw the sand kunoichi's face go beet red at the comment and turns away from him, so that he can't see the blush. He then felt a killing intent coming from somewhere, he started to look around a bit and then land his eyes on Gaara, and he saw that the boy was glaring real hard at him. If looks could kill, Naruto would be dead now, about twenty times over. But Naruto just shrugged it off, as he was trained by Kazuma, his training was on killing intent which consisted on Naruto being targeted by Kazuma's demonic killing intent and that was the last time he had wanted to play around with the former Alter user.

After he saw that Temari got over her embarrassment, he saw that she started off by trying to slam that metal fan of hers on the lazy boys head, but the said boy some how dodged the attack. Everything else after that was Shikamaru using his 'Shadow Possession' jutsu in various situations and the girl trying her best to avoid the shot out shadow, the whole match seemed to go on for at least two, boring hours. But in the last moments of the match Shikamaru succeeded in using his shadow jutsu by using the hole Naruto made in his fight against Neji. He smirked at that, it seemed he at least helped his friend in someway, the next moment he saw his friend and the sand kunoichi raise their hand at the same time, most likely Shikamaru was trying to get the girl to give up but he didn't expect the next thing to happen at all.

"I forfeit," said the lazy boy, during the match the whole crowd got interested in the match, but when he said those two simple words, the crowd was in an angry uproar.

"W-what did you say??" the sand kunoichi was just as confused as the crowd, though not as upset.

"I used up all my chakra on that 'Shadow Possession' jutsu, so I'm only good for another ten seconds and that's it. Bummer and here I already planned the next two hundred moves in my head, but my chakra is running low," Shikamaru lazily explained to the girl," anyway, if I was really doing this thing, it would just mean more work."

Then proctor decided at that time to announces the winner," AND THE WINNER IS TEMARI."

And then true to Shikamaru's words, the jutsu cancelled and released the sand kunoichi. She stood their dumbfounded, just what the hell happened she thought.

"'Sigh' dammit man, I would've that you would at least win this match, but I can see why though too," Naruto said, surprising all three people standing on the stadium, he then gave his foxy grin to the girl with a wink, which made her blush at what he just did.

'Just how the hell does he do that? Come on Temari, just think of the mission, he won't even look at you when the attack starts. So why does that make me feel bad?' at the last thought, the sand kunoichi had a sad look on her face, just why would it affect her if the boy didn't even look at her anymore, it really did confuse her.

"Well I guess that now that this match is over, we can wait for the next match, huh Naruto?" the lazy boy said once he got over the shock of him being there without him noticing.

"Huh? Oh yeah, that's right, it's that bastard's match next, huh?" he got a nod from both the proctor and the lazy ninja," heh, can't wait, this match should be real entertaining."

Aside from the two boys waiting on the arena floor, Temari left to go back to her team, but she turned to ask Naruto something," Hey, kid?" he then turned his head towards with U-shaped eyes like his sensei with a smile on his face and acknowledged her with a 'hmm'," Just why do you keep saying and doing things that complement me?" she said in a low only he could hear.

He then turned to her completely," Well, it's because I think it's true, you do look sexy and as far as I can see, you're a great kunoichi. Say, after all this how about you teach me a few lessons on wind manipulation, if you do, I swear I'll do something for you, anything you want," with that last comment he gave a bit a of a wink. She was stunned, he wasn't necessarily trying to pick her up, but with the compliments she could tell he was telling her what he truly thought of her and that made her kinda happy. But when she heard the last sentence, she got a little sad, knowing that in a moments notice that they'll begin their mission and the two of them would become enemies.

She then let out a stressful sigh," thanks for the compliments kid. But I don't know about the training, I'll…I'll have to think about that, see ya," she then turned to the stair that led to the waiting area balcony.

"Hmm, I hope she decides to help me out in my training, it wouldn't be half bad to have her as my trainer," he then turned back to his lazy friend," Yo, any sign of Sasuke yet man?"

"'Sigh' no, none what so ever, I wonder where he is?" the lazy ninja, like everyone else, wanted to see the fight between Sasuke and Gaara.

Then Genma was thinking on ending the wait and declare Gaara the winner,' well, looks like Sasuke out of luck. Too bad, it would have been a good match,' but then he notice the Hokage's messenger.

"Lord Hokage wants to wait ten more minutes," said the messenger in a whisper to Genma.

'I see, a ten minute reprieve, huh?' he then set his stop watch to ten minutes, so he'd know when it was time to call the match.

"'Growl' I swear, if he doesn't show up, I am gonna kill that bastard. He is really wearing down my patience, he's gonna be disqualified if doesn't get here now," the new Alter user was getting pretty upset and it his temper wasn't getting any better as time passed by.

There were only thirty seconds left before Sasuke's time was up and things were starting to get real heated up," that ass better not be thinking about some big time entrance because I'll tell you one thing, I won't be impressed."

'So, times up, hmm, so that's that,' the proctor then starts his announcement," Alright, the time limit has been expired, so I'm officially calling this match…" but he then notice a single leaf falling in. Then out of nowhere, a whole storm of leaves come through and when the little storm settled down, two figures were standing back to back on the stadium floor.

These two figures reveal to be Kakashi Hatake, the copy ninja in his usual attire, and Sasuke Uchiha, the self proclaimed avenger with a new look, mostly black (just like in the anime and manga)," Sorry we're late, you wouldn't believe the traffic," said Kakashi in a cheery tone and happy looking eye.

"And you are?" asked Genma with a smirk on his face, already knowing who it is.

"Sasuke Uchiha," the avenger said simply.

In the stand, two new figures showed up in the audience's seats. The two turn out to be none other than Lee, who is still recuperating, and Gai," so we made it in time," said the Gai's mini-me.

"'Gasp' Lee," Sakura said in a cheerful voice.

"Hmm? Hey, where is Naruto? I don't see him in the waiting area or the stadiums, was he carried off after the fight?" he turned to the pink hair kunoichi to which she shook her head.

"To answer you questions in order Lee, here's down there, in the ring, and no he wasn't carried off to recuperate," she saw he had a questioned look on his face as to where he is, so she pointed out where Naruto was," look down there, he's the one with grey clothes and brown spiky hair."

When he did as he was told, he nearly fell off his crutches," that's Naruto, are you sure?" he only got nods from both Sakura and Ino while Chouji had the same look as Lee on his face," what happened to make him look like that?"

At that moment Ino chose to speak," me and Sakura think it's because of his new Kekkei Genkai," she got very shocked looks from Chouji, Lee, and Gai. She knew that what they were going to ask and answered their unsaid questions," he said in his match against Neji that he calls it his 'Grand Breaker', but he also said it was it's first stage so we think there might be an advance power to it as well and as far as we know he hasn't even used. But to say the least, his first stage packs a hell of a wallop," she then told them about the match in detail.

When she finished, Lee and Gai were dumbfounded, how could he have developed so far, even if he had a bloodline limit,' and she said he was just as fast as lee without his weights, what could he have done to develop so fast in one month?' thought the green clad grownup.

During the whole conversation between the group in the crowd, the group on the stadium floor are having their own conversations," heh, so you finally come you jerk. You know if you got disqualified, you wouldn't be able to face me," Naruto said in a cocky voice.

"Hmm, who the hell are you?" Sasuke asked, little mad this stranger is being so familiar with him, Kakashi was just about to the same question as well. Though the one thing they couldn't get was that they felt they met this guy before, but they couldn't remember where.

"Heh, you not the only one to go through some changes your jerk, it's me, Naruto Uzumaki…believe it," this got them skeptical, but the guy sure did have his personality," well just take a good look at me and you'll know it's me."

They do as he says and do take a good look at his features, they then get shocked to find out it is the hyperactive short blond ninja," Naruto, what happened to you?" asked Kakashi in shocked voice.

"Let's say it's the result of me training my…Kekkei Genkai," this shocked the two and only served to anger the Uchiha, how could this loser have a bloodline limit and how could just training in it help to come out looking like 'that'. Kakashi was just shocked beyond belief and made a note to test out the boys new Kekkei Genkai to see it's capabilities," just ask everyone, if your skeptical about my new abilities."

Sasuke getting out of his shock and anger, went back to his cocky self," yea, whatever, anyways, did you win?"

"Shit, you know it. He didn't know what hit him," the new Alter user said in his cocky voice.

"Heh, well don't get too full of yourself, your still a loser," the both of them then look at each other in their own type of respect.

"Well sorry we kept you waiting, but, umm, just how late are we? I mean it's not like Sasuke is, uh, disqualified or anything, right? Hehehe," the copy nervously asks the proctor.

"like master, like pupil, even right down to your lazy sense timing," Genma, in his own way, giving his answer, getting them on the edge kind of answer.

"Well, what about it?" the sensei of team 7 was starting to get a little worried.

"You know you were so late, that we extended the deadline for you, twice in fact. And it's just lucky for you that you just made it, no he's not disqualified," the proctor said, relieving the two late ninjas, even though the young avenger didn't show it that he too was worried.

"oohh, hehehe, that's a relief. You really had me worried there for a minute, so we're okay. Hm?" Kakashi noticed the last Uchiha was staring off to somewhere and followed the boy's gaze to source, revealing it to be none other then Gaara of the sand.

"You better make sure you don't lose to this guy," said the new brunette

"Got it," not even caring what the boy said.

"Seriously man, don't you lose, because I want to beat your ass myself," Naruto voicing a determined tone to the brooder. He remembered how Sasuke said that he too was one of the many people he wanted to fight.

"Got it," the brooder said looking directly at him.

The proctor having enough of the free time these two are creating, calls out to the next competitor," alright Gaara, come down here."

"Well come on Shikamaru, they don't need us down here to get in the way of the fight," Naruto then quickly picks up the lazy boy by tossing him over his shoulder and jumps right up to the waiting area, surprising two of the sand team members up in there, except for Gaara.

"Dammit Naruto, I wanted to take the stairs this time," Shikamaru says in an angered voice.

"Aw, come on, don't tell me your still peeved about that little nudge I gave ya, you should at least be grateful I did that," the new Alter user said while leaning back against the wall with his arms crossed.

He wasn't really paying any attention to the lazy boys complaints, but he started to over hear the sand team tell Gaara something, he wasn't really gonna care, be when he heard about something about not messing up about some plan, that had him raise and eyebrow. He noticed that Shino also heard, as he repeated the words to himself without the sand team hearing him. After that, the sand user proceeded to leave through the stairs to get to his next match.

For minute, Naruto stayed in his position, but when Gaara arrived in the stadium grounds, he then walked over to the rail and leaned on it, next to the sand kunoichi," Well, it looks like this match is anyone's fight, huh?"

It took a minute before she knew he was there, she then got startled that he was leaning next to her. She was so focused on her little brother, that the world around her hardly existed," heh, yea right. Like you teammate can penetrate the sand shield Gaara has," Temari said with a smirk.

"Hmm, I wouldn't be to sure about that, from the looks of Sasuke, he's gone through the same kind of speed and power training I went through, if at all little different," Naruto could sense the power his teammate acquired, but he couldn't help but think he might've of used the Sharingan to shortcut his training, while Naruto trained day in and out without the help of Kazuma's chakra and his healing abilities.

This startled her a bit, she remembered the speed the new brunette and the power he held, it was almost like that bushy brow ninja, but the boy's style was totally different from that very ninja. She looked back to her little brother and got a little worried,' Gaara, be careful. You may not believe we care about you, but please, be careful,' the sand kunoichi said in her thoughts.

Naruto saw the worried look on her face and wanted to comfort her at least," Ah, don't worry; I'm sure your teammate will be okay. And if he does win, well when I fight him, I promise that I'll knock some sense into him about how to really act around others," the new Alter user then gave a genuine smile to the sand kunoichi and gave his own 'nice-guy' pose. (You know the thumbs up and everything, only not as dorky)

In way, she was glad he said that and gave a nod to him as thanks. She really started to like this kid and was wondering if doing the mission at all was really worth it. She secretly hoped that the attack on the leaf village would fail, so that maybe, some how, thing would get back to the way they were with a few changes.

The new brunette then turned his gaze back to the fight that was about to start. He saw the two of them staring each other down like it was old western moving, the tension growing high with each passing second, with the wind blowing hard and tumble weeds going by,' wait, how the hell did tumble weed get in the stadium? Eh, whatever mind as well just keep watching the start of the match.'

The proctor then started the match and Gaara unleashed his sand from the gourd, to which Sasuke jumped away from the boy, waiting for any attack he may throw at him. But then the sand user started to clutch his head in pain all of a sudden and started talking about his mother, and how she'll like the taste of blood she'll have now. That started to creep Naruto out, was this guy really that much of a nut case, if so he'll really need to knock some sense into him, hard. He then overheard the two sand team members talking in whispers about the situation. From what he could tell, this is not the first time it happened and when it does, the consequences are truly fatal.

Once the sand stopped floating and landed on the ground, the crazed sand user was back to his old self. Once that was done, they both got into their battle stances, and then Sasuke started the attack by throwing his shurikens, but was stopped by Gaara's sand shield that turned into a 'sand' clone, which had the caught shurikens in it's hands. Sasuke charged in to attack, but the clone bursts out a whole bunch of sand to stop and crush the boy, but the avenger quickly jumped over the attack. The clone then threw the shuriken it had to Sasuke who was in the air, but the Uchiha threw in his own shurikens to intercept the attack. When the Uchiha got close enough in the air to the clone, he air kicked it, destroying its sand hands. He then quickly recovered on the ground and then did a backhand punch to the clone's throat, but upon impact the clone started to wrap the punch in its sand. Quickly thinking his next action, Sasuke palm thrusted the clone in the face, thus releasing him from the clones grip. He then went in for a straight jab for the sand users face, but the sand shield quickly got in place of the incoming attack. But the avenger only smirked at the attempt and disappeared from the sand users sight, which none the less surprised Gaara.

The sand user then saw the Uchiha appear right behind him,' he's fast, just like those other two,' he then remembered his fight with Lee and Naruto's match with Neji. But the Uchiha movements were almost an exact copy of the bushy brow ninja moves, but he was brought out of his thought as Sasuke gave him a good, hard right hand jab to the face which made him fly a few feet.

"Hmph, I knew it, he did go through that kind of training," by what Sasuke had just done, Naruto now knew the brooding boy used his Sharingan to copy Lee's speed and power. He felt bad for Lee and angry with Sasuke for cheating his way to such a level. If you must obtain that kind of power, you have to work for it, not cheat for it. What Naruto did in his training was pure hard work, but his teammate used his Sharingan to copy one of his comrade's movements and he didn't like that at all.

He then saw the avenger get into Lee's tai-jutsu stance, and goaded for the sand user to go ahead and attack. But the psychotic boy just laid there, glaring at the Uchiha and that only served to make the boy to charge forward at great speed to the sand user. The sand activated to defend the incoming attack, but the speeding Uchiha only went around and kicked the boy in the air. This went on for a while, with Gaara being defenseless to the Uchiha's new speed and power, while evading the sands attacks and defenses. But when they paused a bit to catch their breaths, Gaara made single hand seal and then the sand around him started to form a sphere, like cocoon. But Sasuke wasn't going to let him do what he wants and quickly sped toward the sand user, but as soon as he reached him to give him a good punch, the sand had already formed a sphere with spikes going forth to the Uchiha. The avenger then jumped away with his hand bleeding from the knuckle, due the force of the punch he used on the sand sphere that felt like it was harder than steel. The spikes on the sphere then retracted back to the sphere itself, making it into a smoothly surfaced sand sphere. After that was done, he saw more sand forming something else, it then turned out to be floating eyeball, which made Naruto almost puke. (come on, if you saw a creepy floating eyeball, wouldn't you get a little sick)

"Hmm, so how are you going to get past that Sasuke? You'll need something powerful to get through that defense," Naruto commented on the fight so far.

He saw Sasuke try his best with conventional means of attacking and breaking through sand sphere, but it all proved to be useless against it. He saw the avengers face and could tell he knew he need to do something else than regular attacks, he then saw him back flip toward the wall opposite of the sphere and continually flipping up it, he then stopped when he was close enough to the top. The brooding boy then went through a small amount of hand seals and clutched his left hand downward, toward the wall he is hanging off from. Naruto could feel the power building up in the hand and saw lightning discharges coming from it, he then heard the sound of birds chirping. He looked around for those birds, but found the source to be Sasuke's lightning hand. He then saw him charged forward, down the wall and jumping off from it to, still speeding towards the sphere on the ground.

"Whoa, now that's a neat trick. But not as cool as my 'shell bullets," the new Alter user said, which made the people who heard him only nod.

When the avenger got close, the sphere tried to use its spikes to stop the charging the boy from attack, but the Uchiha only dodged the spikes barely and threw the electrically charged hand into the sphere and yelled out the technique," CHIDORI," most of the people, except Kakashi and Naruto, were surprised that he was able to get through sand sphere's hard defense.

"I-impossible, no one can get through Gaara defenses, no one," the puppet user couldn't believe what happened just now as much as his sister, Temari, who also agreed.

"Well, believe it pal, that bastard actually got through that dense sphere," Naruto said in a cocky tone.

But something was wrong; he could see it. From what he could tell, it seem Sasuke had his hand stuck in the sand and was struggling to get out, he then let out a discharge of lightning to get out, while doing so, Gaara was screaming out in pain of electricity running through him. When the avenger got loose from the sphere, the most surprising and weirdest thing happened. A grotesque claw held onto his arm for a bit before letting go and hitting the ground, it then retracted back into the sphere, and Sasuke stood there, stunned at what he saw a moment later. Naruto knew what it was, it was the demon sealed inside Gaara, Shukaku.

"Is that thing taking over again?" Kankuro asked worriedly to his sister, Naruto knew just what he meant when he said 'thing', which only meant the demon.

"I don't know, this has never happened before. I think he's hurt," Temari said in a sort of worry that a sister has for a brother, even in this situation, Naruto felt glad that the sand user had someone who loved him as family.

The sphere then started to crack, and then a few seconds later, the sphere merely fell and Gaara stood in its place, clutching the wound done by Sasuke.

"I was right, he's hurt. The shell broke before the change was complete," the sand kunoichi informing her brother of what happened.

That's when something started to happen. Seemingly out of nowhere, many feathers started to fall from the sky and Naruto knew what it was immediately, a gen-jutsu. Under the training he went with Kazuma he learned how to block out illusions, so he power up his Alter power a bit and blocked the gen-jutsu with it. Not another second later, he heard an explosion occur where the Hokage was seated. Not thinking for another second, he jumped to where his sensei was standing in the stadium to see what was going on.

Before the two sand team members went to see how Gaara is doing, Temari took one last look at Naruto,' I'm sorry kid, but it looks like we won't be having that training you wanted. See ya,' and so the operation on the attack of Konoha has begun.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Well guyz, that's end of this chapter. Hope you guyz didn't think I made the finals go to fast. And as usual, if did something a little wrong, inform on the reviews and if you think I'm leaning this toward a Temari pairing, I'm not, not yet if the polls change that is. I'm just giving relationship the two need in order for something like that to happen, so I might hook them up depending on polls or make them real good friends. Well with that said and done, see ya guyz.
