Chapter 5
Neji's battle! The end of round 2
Neji stood in his fighting pose glaring at the standing form of Sasuke. The sharingan was now activated and those red eyes were staring at Neji with excitement. "Ready to die Neji," sneered Sasuke. Neji spat on the ground as he stared at the shinobi with his byakugan.
"I will not lose. You'll pay for hurting Hinata!" Neji shouted out. He ran forward and shot his palm out to only have it caught by a strong hand.
"Not so fast Neji," Sasuke said. He pulled Neji towards him and smashed his face towards the wall. Sasuke laughed as he watched Neji rise up with blood everywhere. "I thought you would put up more of a fight."
"Damn you," Neji coughed. Blood sprayed out of his mouth and littered the ground. He wiped some of the blood away and took another fighting stance. "I'm not done yet." He ran forward a little bit before stopping. "Try this one. You're in the area of my 8 trigrams." He took his stance and ran at his opponent at lightning speed and shot his palms out a total of 64 times. The last blow shot Sasuke hard into the wall. "8 trigrams 64 palms," Neji said with a firm voice. He lowered his hands and stared hard into the rubble. In the minds of the audience they thought that the mighty Neji of the Hyuuga clan had won his match. Their was no movement under the rubble for a few minutes.

"Wow!" Ino exclaimed. "Neji is so awsome." Tenten looked at her with a small smile.
"Yeah he is, and he is really lucky to have you," Tenten said with a soft tone.
"Thanks and Naruto is lucky to have you," Ino said with a smile. Tenten blushed and turned to look at Naruto to see if he was excited. But all she saw was fear and dark eyes.
"What's wrong Naruto-kun?" Tenten asked her boyfriend. Naruto turned to her with an uneasy expression.
"Neji is doomed," Naruto muttered.
"How would you know?" she asked again. He sighed and turned to the rubble and could tell that Sasuke was barely hurt.
"Because Tenten-chan, that attack was not strong enough to even hurt Sasuke," Naruto sighed. She turned to the rubble and stared hard into it.
"You sure Naruto-kun," she said.
"Positive," Naruto said in a calm voice.
"You're lying, no one can beat my Neji-kun," Ino said defensively. Naruto looked at her and frowned. When he turned back he saw the boulders fly away. Standing in the smoke was a smiling Sasuke. Dark vapor rose from his body and gave him an eerie look. "What they hell!" Ino exclaimed.
"He's alive," Shikamaru, Lee, Sakura, Temari, and Kankuro said in unison. Choji looked down with a worried look, while Tsunade clenched her fist tightly together as she looked at the terrible form below her. Naruto and Tenten looked at each other, and knew without talking, that they were thinking the same thing.

Kiba sat in the hospital room stroking Hinata's hair. "I hope Neji kills Sasuke so I can actually touch your warm skin," he muttered. He looked hard at her and lend down to kiss her cheek with his soft lips. Akamaru sat on the side and barked at Kiba's flowing tears. "I love you Hinata-chan." His eyes suddenly snapped open when he felt and eerie presence. He suddenly got up and waited for Akamaru to jump to his usual position before kissing Hinata on the cheek and running into the hall.
When he got outside he looked over the railing and saw Neji with a shocked look, and an evil looking Sasuke. "What the hell is that," he muttered. Akamaru growled at Sasuke like the presence was familiar or something. "What is it boy," Kiba said as he looked at the dog. The dog barked again and Kiba could tell something was wrong. He clenched his teeth as he turned to look at what was about to unfold. "Come on Neji," he whispered. "You have to win, for Hinata's sake."

Neji quickly composed himself after Sasuke rose up from the rubble and took another stance. "At least you can't use any jutsu," Neji called. Sasuke laughed as he launched forward and smashed Neji into the air. Sasuke lept up and pounded Neji ruthlessly before smashing him with his heel into the ground.
"Die Hyuuga," Sasuke smiled. He took his fist back and a familiar dark orb began to appear.
"Shit!" was all Neji could say before the attack smashed into Neji's stomach. His body went crazy, blood sprayed everywhere and his arms shook uncontrollably. He finally went limp as Sasuke jumped backwards. Gandisin walked over and raised his hands.
"Winner! Sasuke!" the referee announced. Their were loud cheers for the exciting match. The stretcher carried Neji away as Sasuke walked back up to Kyle. The cleaners cleaned up the arena for the next battle.

"Neji!" Ino screamed as she jumped down to join the medical staff.
"Too bad," Naruto muttered. "I knew this would happen." His hands clenched the railing and suddenly his nails grew longer as did his teeth. His whisker marks deepened and his eyes turned red. Everyone noticed the transformation and took a step back, all except for Tenten and Gaara. "Damn him!" growled the voice of Kyuubi and Naruto. "I will kill him!"
"Take it easy Naruto-kun, wait for the match where you will fight him," Lee tried to calm him. Naruto shot Lee a hard look that forced him back. Tenten walked up and placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"Naruto-kun, what's wrong with you?" Tenten asked worriedly. Naruto's eyes grew big as he changed to normal.
"N-nothing," he said. He took deep breaths as he watched the announcer.
"The next match is Tenten vs. Hilia!" called out Gandisin. Tenten took a breath as she turned to head down. Naruto gave her a deep and passionate kiss on her lips for good luck.
"Go get her Tenten-chan," Naruto whispered. As she headed down, Naruto turned to see everyone take a seat. Lee however, went outside to train for his fight against Sasuke in the next round, Sakura had gone with him. Michael was over conversing with Tsunade and Shizune while Choji talked with Shikamaru, Temari, Kankuro, and Shino. Naruto looked down as the fight began to see weapons flying everywhere. Gaara walked up to Naruto and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Gaara asked.
"Yes, Kyuubi was just getting a little bit mad," Naruto confessed.
"I can see why Naruto. Sasuke was hurting to many people," Gaara said in a soft voice.
"I'll beat him however," Naruto said with determination. Gaara smiled and patted the young ninja's shoulder.
"I'm sure you will friend," Gaara said before turning to watch the match. Tenten had called out her Rising Twin Dragons and quickly won the match. When she got back up, Naruto gave her a tight hug and kissed her cheek.
"Great job Tenten-chan," Naruto said with excitement. She smiled and kissed him some more. Gaara laughed as the next match began. A few matches had gone bye before Gaara was called to go fight. He walked down silently with his arms crossed across his chest. He stood in front of his opponent with determination.
"Good luck," the man before Gaara said with a bow.
"I don't need luck," Gaara simply stated. Gandisin raised his hands to silent the crowd.
"Gaara! Shir! Are you both ready," Gandisin called. When they nodded he yelled out begin. Shir ran forward and launched a kick at the still form of Gaara. Sand instinctively went up to block the attack.
"What the hell!" Shir cried out. The sand shot him backwards onto the ground. Gaara walked forward and called his sand to strike the opponent. Shir dodged it and ran as fast as he could to punch Gaara. Before he hit though, he disappeared and reappeared behind Gaara and punched him hard in the head. He landed on the ground with a thud and was still for a moment. Gaara slowly got up and turned to look at the man with anger.
"Sand coffin!" Gaara called out. He raised his hands to form a coffin of sand around Shir. The coffin raised into the air and Gaara just smiled. He clenched his fist together as he called out the last words the man would here, "Sand burial!" Blood rain down onto the arena as Gaara walked off.
"Winner, Gaara!" Gandisin called as soon as the match ended. Gaara went into the stands to talk with Naruto and Tenten some more. The matches rolled on and ended up with the last match as Michael vs. Tornado.
"Go get him sensei," Naruto said. Michael nodded as he walked down into the stadium. When the referee called out begin, the man named Tornado launched a devastating wind attack out. Michael raised his right hand, and absorbed the attack. He then moved at lightning speed to appear behind Tornado.
"I hope you like this," Michael muttered. He took his hand back and smashed into Tornado's back, causing a huge tornado of fire to shoot threw the man's body. "Fire Tornado!" Blood flew into Michael's face as the man was launched into the nearest wall. Gandisin walked into the center of the arena as Michael was leaving to hold his hands up.
"Round 2 is over, and next is round 3!" Gandisin called to the crowed. "The first match will be Naruto vs. Eric!" Naruto walked down into the stadium to face a tall man with red hair named Eric. "Naruto! Eric! Round 3, begin!" Eric did some hand seals at amazing speed then touched the ground.
"Earth style! Breaking earth wall jutsu!" Eric called. Two walls of earth appeared and smashed against Naruto before exploding. Everyone looked through the smoke wondering if the match was already over. Tenten backed up and put her hands worriedly to her lips.
"Come on Naruto-kun," Tenten whispered to herself. Gaara looked at her with a frown before turning back to the match.
"Don't die, for Tenten's sake," Gaara muttered. The smoke continued to linger there. Standing a few feet away was the smiling form of Eric.
"I won," was all he said.
To be continued...
