Chapter 11
Naruto vs. Gaara! Fight for your dream!
Gaara jumped back aways before lifting his hands up into a hand seal. He then flung his hands out, which made a stream of sand come towards Naruto. Naruto rolled to the side then jumped over the sand as it continued its vicious barrage. When the sand had stopped Naruto stopped and continued to stare at Gaara. "Is that all you can do?" Naruto taunted.
"Just wait and see idiot," Gaara snarled. He did another hand seal before calling out his next attack. "Desert coffin!" Gaara commanded. A stream of sand came out from under Naruto and began to lift him into the air.
"Shit," Naruto muttered. He did some quick hand seals before touching his sand confine. "Spirit dispel jutsu!" he commanded and the sand dispeled itself and he came down onto the hard ground. "That was close," he said with a sigh of relief. He turned his attention to Gaara who was just smirking at Naruto. "He might be my friend, but his is starting to piss me off," he snarled to himself. He got into a fighting stance and jumped forward with his fist ready to attack. Gaara's sand came up and caught the punch before fliniging Naruto across the arena and hard into the wall. He slowly got out of the rubble and breathed heavily. "That sand will be hard to get pass."
"You suck Naruto. I thought you would put up more of a fight," Gaara said with a short laugh.
"Laugh it up asshole," Naruto snapped. He did a hand seal and began to charge chakra into his body. "Time for my friend to come out and play a little bit." Gaara narrowed his eyes as Naruto's features began to change. His eyes became slits and his nails grew longer. His hair became messy, and his whisker marks deepened. He let out a growl when the transformation was done, and then charged forward at a high speed.
"Shit, not Kyuubi," Gaara snarled. He commanded his sand to attack, but Naruto was able to dodge the attacks like they were nothing. He landed in front of Gaara, and came up with an uppercut to his jaw. The sand shinobi flew into the air, and then felt a hard punch to his stomach which sent him hard into the ground, creating a small crater. Gaara coughed up blood as he slowly got back up. "This is bad," he muttered to himself as he got back into a fighting stance. "He moved so fast, that not even my sand could keep up." He watched as Naruto charged again, faster than before. "I need to stop him now," he said. He did another hand seal, and then began to consetrate hard so he could unleah his attack. When Naruto was about to punch Gaara hard into the face, he called out his move, "Sand mimic jutsu!" The sand erupted and a complete sand clone of Naruto appeared in the same state and grabbed the blonde's hand. Naruto took his claw hand back and struck it out, which was caught by the clone. The clone snarled and sent a kick hard into the shinobi's side. Naruto landed on the ground with a hard thud. He slowly got up to stare at the new threat.
"What the hell," Naruto breathed.
"It's my sand mimic jutsu," Gaara answered. "It makes my sand turn into a purfect replica of my opponent. They can do all you can, and are even harder to defeat. The only downside is that when my pet gets hurt, I will feel it. But, it won't get hurt so easily, it is able to counter all of your attacks." Gaara laughed out loud as he stared at Naruto's desperate face. "Get him my pet." The clone of Naruto got on all fours before running forward to continue his attack.
"This is bad," Naruto muttered as he began to block and dodge the coming attacks. Gaara laughed again as he watched his friends desperate fight.
"I will win," was all he said as he watched the fight between Naruto and his clone.

"Naruto-kun!" Tenten called out with fear in her voice. She watched as her boyfriend and his clone went head to head. Naruto not gaining any ground, while the clone was coming closer and closer to tearing up his counterpart.
"This is bad," Shino muttered from beside Tenten. "If he can't fight back this fight will be over in no time."
"You may be right Shino," Neji said from Tenten's other side. He had one hand around Ino and caressing her back softly.
"I hope Naruto dosen't die," Ino said with a shaky voice.
"Same here," Neji said with a nod as he kissed Ino's head with a light kiss.
"Get him bro!" Kankuro shouted with all of his enthusiasm. Temari rolled her eyes as she lend her head onto Shikamaru's shoulder.
"Gaara isn't playing around," she said with a sigh.
"Even so, Naruto can still beat him," Shikamaru smiled. Temari turned her head to look at him and smiled.
"You might be right," Temari said as she kissed Shikamaru's lips passionatley.
"Why aren't you cheering for brother?" Kankuro asked.
"Because, I really don't care who wins," Temari said simply. "If Naruto-kun wins, it'll be fine with me, and the same with Gaara." Temari turned from her brother to watch as Naruto desperatly tried to stop the clone that was attacking him.
"Get him Naruto-kun, show him the power of youth!" Lee shouted for all to hear. Sakura took her hand back and punched her boyfriend hard in the head.
"Baka!" she hissed. "You are making a scene Lee-kun." Lee got up and turned to look at her.
"Sorry Sakura-chan, this fight is just so awsome," Lee sighed.
"Yeah, it is," Sakura smiled as she kissed Lee on the lips.
"Naruto-kun has to come up with a way to stop that clone," Kiba said.
"You're right Kiba-kun," Hinata nodded. "If he can't stop the clone he will lose this match."
"Don't worry you two," Choji said as he walked up with a bag of patoto chips. "I'm sure Naruto-kun will win." Kiba and Hinata nodded as they turned back to watch the fight.
"Come on, get him Naruto-kun!" Tsunade shouted as she raised her fist into the air and began to cheer. Michael, Shizune, and Sasuke all sweatdropped as they watched the hokage cheer in a loud voice.
"She is scary," Michael muttered. Shizune and Sasuke nodded as they continued to watch Tsunade punch the air in determination.
"Maybe you should sit down Tsunade-sama," Shizune said, trying to calm her down a little.
"What are you talking about! Naruto needs all the support he can get!" Tsunade shouted towards her.
"Maybe so Tsunade-sama, but I think all your yelling is distracting him," Michael said with a soft voice.
"Hmph," was all Tsunade said as she sat back down and crossed her arms, a pout on her face. "Stupid young people," she muttered with annoyance.
"Well, that's takin care of," Sasuke said with a sigh of relief. He turned his head to stare back at the fighters. "This fight will not be ending anytime soon."
"You got that right Sasuke-kun," Michael nodded. His eyes suddenly went to slits as he reconized a familiar chakra signiture. He turned around to see Kyle standing there with a smirk.
"Hey brother," Kyle chuckled.
"Hey yourself you demented bastard," Michael snapped. Kyle frowned as he walked up to his brother.
"Why are you always so mean to me," Kyle said with a frown.
"Me mean, what about what you are doing to all of the innocent people in every viliage you come across," Michael snapped with fire in his eyes.
"I'm just sending them to the afterlife in hell, so that they can be punished for their sins of tourtouring me," Kyle said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"They might have called us names our entire life, but that is no reason to kill them," Michael said.
"You sound just like them brother," Kyle snapped. "I will have to send you to join them in the fires of hell, and after that I'll send your girlfriend their to keep you company." Kyle laughed as he stared at his angry brother.
"You will not touch her with your dirty hands," Michael snapped with venom in his words. Kyle laughed as he turned around and began to leave.
"Just wait idiot brother, you and all your friends will be dead soon," Kyle said with anger as he walked away to his seat over on the other side of the stadium. Michael dropped down into his seat and looked down at the ground. Tears beginning to fall to the ground as he remembered what his brother did all those years ago.
"I-I'm scared to fight him," Michael said with a shaky voice. Shizune frowned as she sat beside him and rubbed his shoulder gently.
"Don't worry love," Shizune said with a soft voice. "I'm sure you will win." She kissed him on the cheek.
"You think so," Michael gulped back his tears as he looked at Shizune beside him. She gave him a small smile as she looked at him.
"Positive," she said. Michael smiled and kissed Shizune gently on the lips.
"Thanks, I needed that," Michael said as he broke the kiss.
"Any time love," she said as they both turned to watch the outcome of the match. It seemed that Naruto and his clone were about to continue the fight. The tension in the air increased as the clone jumped forward to continue the fight.

Naruto stood his ground as he watched the clone jump towards him. He smiled as he shifted to the side to have one claw pierce through his shoulder. Naruto grimaced from the pain but ignored it as he shifted a little more to have the other claw pierce his other shoulder. The clone raised an eyebrow as it stood there with his two clawed hands sticking through Naruto's shoulder. Naruto smiled as he took his right hand back and then threw it forward, piercing through the clone's body. Blood sprayed from the clones mouth as he glanced down at the hand sticking through his body. The clone snarled as it fell backwards, the clawed hands leaving Naruto's shoulders. The clone landed on the ground then poofed out of existence, leaving a stain of blood on the ground. Naruto turned his head to see Gaara on one knee clenching his body, the exact spot the clone was hit. Blood dripped from his mouth as he continued to cough blood onto the ground. "Damn!" Gaara shouted as he lifted himself up. "I will not lose this time! I will achive my goal, and you can't stop me!" Naruto looked at him with the same eyes that Gaara had.
"I too will achive my goal!" Naruto shouted back. "My dream of being hokage could be fulfilled with the end of this tournament, and I will win!"
"My dream is more important, I will finally be respected in my viliage, and people won't try to kill me anymore!" Gaara snapped. "I guess it's time, to fight for our dreams!"
"Right Gaara. Let's see whos dream is better," Naruto nodded. "Time to end this." He did a hand sign and began to charge in chakra.
"The winner takes all," Gaara said. He did the same hand seal and gathered his chakra.
"Spirit transformation jutsu!" Naruto called out loud as a gold and white light surrounded him.
"Desert transformation jutsu!" Gaara comanded as he was slowly consumed by a brown and dusty light that clashed with the white and gold light. Everyone looked down in wide eyes as they saw the lights clash together. When the light had died down, Naruto and Gaara stood staring at each other. Naruto had the same attire as the last time he went to this form. Gaara had a brown half mask covering his nose and mouth. His hair was brownish red and spiked backwards from his head. He had a brown vest on, covering his bare skin. He had commando pants, and brown gloves on both of his hands. He looked towards Naruto and smiled behind his mask. "Let's settle this now!"
"You are on!" Naruto called back. The two took their fighting stances then jumped back into the match. The ultimate battle of the ninja tournament so far continues in the next chapter. So stay tuned.
To be continued...
