Chapter 13
Sibling rivalry! The explosive battle!
Michael swung his fire sword at Kyle, who just barley dodged the lethal attack. Kyle did a backflip backwards before charging back into the fight. The two blades clashed again, and then they both fell back a little then attacked again. Michael parried one attack aimed at his head, and Kyle blocked one coming from the side. The two disengaged their blades and put their kunai back into their weapons pouch. Michael did some hand seals before touching the ground, "Erupting fire jutsu!" A fountain of red fire shot out from the ground to attack Kyle. He saw the attack and did a front flip forward and punched outwards at Michael. He moved to the side and kicked his brother in the abdomen before taking his hand and throwing Kyle hard into the ground. Michael did some flips backwards and stared at his brother.
"Nice move," Kyle muttered as he got up and dusted himself off. He did his own set of hand seals, "I hope you like this one. Shadow flame jutsu!" A black stream of fire shot out from his mouth and straight towards Michael. He did a quick hand seal.
"Fire wall jutsu!" Michael commanded. A wall of fire shot out and blocked the coming attack. When the wall died down, Kyle jumped forward and connected his fist with Michael's jaw. He flew backwards onto the ground before coming to a stop. He breathed heavily as he got back up. "Damn," he muttered as he wiped the blood off his chin.
"This is fun brother," Kyle laughed as he walked towards Michael. Kyle did a single hand seal, then called out his attack, "Devil's shadow jutsu!" A black flame attack stormed the arena and coverged over Michael. Then the flame exploded and Michael was caught in the blast.

"Michael-kun!" Shizune called from her seat. She stood up and put her hands on the railing, "Please be alright."
"Don't worry Shizune," Tsunade muttered. Shizune shifted her head to look at her.
"Tsunade-sama, he could be killed," Shizune said with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sure he is fine," Sasuke assured her with a pat on the shoulder.
"Byakugan!" Neji called. He looked through the smoke for any signs of life. "He is fine," he said after a while.
"That's good," Shizune breathed a sigh of relief. She sat back down and watched the battle closely. The only thought on her mind was please let Michael win.

Tenten watched Naruto's chest move slowly up and down. "Naruto-kun," she whispered in a low tone. She bent down and kissed his forehead. She turned her head to see Temari looking on helplessly at Gaara.
"Gaara," Temari was saying. "Please be okay." Tenten turned back to look at Naruto and just grimaced.
"You can't die, we need you," Tenten said. "I don't want to be alone anymore." Tears fell down her eyes, and one of them hit the seal that was now visible. She turned her head to look out the window. "Come on Michael, defeat your brother."

"Kyuubi!" Naruto called as he walked down the sewers of his mind.
"I'm here kit," the Kyuubi replied with a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked as he came up and saw the great demon fox lying on the ground. Sweat was pouring down his face as he looked out to see Naruto there.
"I'm losing energy, and fast," the Kyuubi replied with a pant.
"Is there a way to help you?" Naruto asked with a worried voice.
"Simple, you need to wake up," the Kyuubi replied. "The longer you stay like this withouth chakra in your body, the better chance you will die."
"Shit," Naruto said as he rubbed his chin in thought. "How do I wake up? I'm trying to open my eyes, but nothing."
"Could be that you are on the verge of dying," the Kyuubi said softly.
"What!" Naruto yelled. "I can't die. I-I have to see Tenten again."
"I know kit, I know," the Kyuubi said calmly like a mother to her kid. "I want you to see her again also." Kyuubi tried to get up, but couldn't. He collapsed back on the ground and began to look around again. Suddenly a voice was heard near the hallway to the caged room.
"What was that?" Naruto asked as he turned around and got into a fighting stance.
"That is the source of everything. A chakra reaper," Kyuubi answered. "He steals chakra from his hosts and slowly kills them."
"How the heck did it get in here," Naruto said with a scared voice.
"During your fight against Gaara I suppose," Kyuubi answered as he watched the reaper approach. "You have to kill him to save both of us."
"Alright, I got him," Naruto said with a determined voice. He charged at the chakra reaper, but it disappeared before he could make contact. Naruto rolled to the side to dodge a black kunai that was aimed at his head. "Damn, that was close."
"Ready to die," the chakra reaper said in a low voice. Naruto turned around to see the reaper holding a giant scythe in his hand.
"Damnit all," Naruto grumbled as he did a hand sign. "Mass shadow clone jutsu!" A hundred Naruto clones appeared beside the shinobi and each pulled out a kunai. They charged forward, but were dispatched easily by the reaper. It then did a front flip over the last cones head, and slashed through the clones back. "This guy is strong." He did another set of hand seals, "Spirit claw jutsu!" He slammed his hand on the ground and a giant claw raised up to tear through the reaper. It did a front flip over the claw and smashed its foot into Naruto's face. he landed on the ground with a thud. He panted heavily as he tried to get back up. "Damn," he muttered again.
"Pathetic," the chakra reaper laughed. Naruto glared at his opponent as he got up and wiped the blood off his face.
"This isn't over yet!" Naruto called as he charged back into the battle.

Michael ran out of the fire and connected a punch into Kyle's jaw. The shinobi rolled on the ground and quickly came back with an uppercut that sent Michael into the air. Kyle did a set of hand seals and smiled. "Shadow barrage jutsu!" He raised up his hand sign and shot out a fury of shadow ball attacks that hit against Michael's body and caused him to bleed all over. He landed with a thud and slowly tried to get up.
"Damn," Michael muttered through gasps of air.
"Time to end this," Kyle laughed as he did a single hand seal. "Dark cross jutsu!" he commanded. A black cross shot out from Kyle's hand sign and caused Michael to fly back hard into the wall. Kyle charged forward and his hand engulfed Michael's face. His hands went frantic as he was brought higher into the air. "Farewell brother." He smashed Michael into the wall, and caused a huge dent. He brought him back out and smashed him again. Everyone looked down with horror, they couldn't believe what was happening.
"I...won't...lose," Michael mumbled into the hand. He concentrated into his hand, and a blade of fire began to form. He took his hand back and lunged it forward, piercing Kyle's body, and causing him to retreat backwards, his hand holding his bloody wound.
"H-How?" Kyle asked through gasps of air. He gazed back at Michael; hatred filled the shinobi's eyes. "How!" Kyle screamed more forcefully.
"You didn't pay attention to the move I was doing," Michael laughed at Kyle's pained face.
"Damn you, damn you to hell!" Kyle hollered. He took one more breath of air before falling on the ground unconscious.
"Winner! Michael!" Gandisin announced to the crowd. Michael breathed heavily as he slowly walked forward. He then fell to his knees, his world slowly going black.
"Damn, he actually did hurt me a lot," Michael mumbled. With that last thought he collapsed into a world of darkness. Shizune saw this and jumped down quickly and ran to Michael's side.
"Please Michael-kun, please get up," Shizune urged. The medic ninja ran up and began to lift him. "I'll take him, you guys grab him." The medic ninja nodded and headed over to Kyle's body, and began to carry him back to the hospital. Shizune turned her head back to Michael and touched his cold face. "Don't worry, I'll take care of you." Shizune bent down and picked up Michael in her arms. She then bounded off for the hospital, praying that Michael would live the whole time.

Naruto rolled to the side to dodge the scythe that the chakra reaper weaved. "Damn, this guy is good," Naruto muttered. He ran forward and connected a fist into the reapers jaw, sending him hard into the sewers wall.
"Nice job kit," Kyuubi congratulated. Naruto breathed heavily as he stared at the reaper with hatred eyes.
"Leave my body now!" Naruto commanded.
"Haha, in your dreams brat," the reaper breathed, his body slowly rising off the ground. "This isn't over yet." A dark energy scythe raised up from the ground and prepared to attack. He then pointed his hand towards Naruto and the scythe immediatly charged. Naruto rolled to the side, but when he looked back, he saw the scythe turn around and charge back towards him.
"What the hell!" Naruto exclaimed. He jumped over the scythe again, but it came heading back. "Damn," he muttered. He landed on the ground and started running around the area, thinking of a way to stop the scythe. He saw the reaper out of the corner of his eyes and got an idea. He ran towards the reaper, who looked at him puzzeled.
"Oh, I see you want to die, then let me oblige you," the reaper laughed. He raised his hand and shot a dark chakra ball at Naruto, who managed to sidestep the attack and come close to the reaper. Naruto then did a front flip over the reapers head and turned to see the chakra reaper glaring at him, his hand raised. "Idiot, you shouldn't have stopped."
"Haha, who's the idiot?" Naruto asked. "You forgot about your scythe." The reapers eyes widened as he turned to see the scythe coming straight towards him.
"Damn," was all the reaper said before the scythe cut him in half. Naruto looked at the bloody corpse on the ground and slowly turned to face the Kyuubi.
"Guess that's it," Naruto stated with a sigh.
"Yes, I guess it is," the Kyuubi nodded. "Now, maybe you can wake up." Naruto nodded as he slowly began to disappear from the Kyuubi's vision.
"See you later fox," Naruto said. Kyuubi nodded as he closed his eyes.
"Time for some sleep," Kyuubi said. He then drifted off into endless dreams.

Naruto slowly opened his eyes, and saw Tenten staring at him. "You're awake," she cried with glee. She threw her arms around Naruto's neck, and buried her head into his chest, tears slowly fell onto Naruto's chest as she continued to cry. Naruto lifted up his hand and moved up and down on Tenten's back.
"It's okay, I won't leave you again, I promise," Naruto said. He bent down slowly and kissed Tenten gently on the lips. "So, don't worry." Tenten nodded as she got up and staired at him. "So, who won the other match?" Naruto asked.
"Michael did," Tenten said in a happy voice.
"That's good, I knew Michael-sensei would win," Naruto said with a happy voice. "Now, I get to show him how much I have grown since this tournament began."
"I'm sure you will win," Tenten said, brushing her hand gently against Naruto's cheek. "I believe in you."
"Thanks," Naruto said with one of his huge smiles. 'I guess I need to ask her before the match begins in a few days,' Naruto told himself.
"Yes kit, yes you should," Kyuubi advised him. Naruto smiled to himself as he lay back down on his bed.
"I guess I should get some more sleep," Naruto said. Tenten nodded and kissed his forehead.
"Sweet dreams Naruto-kun, talk to you tomorrow," Tenten said. She then moved the chair back and lowered her head. "I'll just sleep in here." And with that, she drifted off into and endless dream.
