Last time on Ninja Revelations, The battle between Naruto and Neji began to heat up! What power does Naruto have hidden? Will Neji survive? Can Konoha survive the angry blondes wrath? Find out in Chapter Two of Ninja Revelations!

Gasps of shock surrounded them at the blonde combatant's words. Who would have figured that the happy young Genin would have said that to anybody, let alone another Konoha Genin. But seeing as his attitude had changed dramatically during this match, it wasn't so surprising. Though after getting out of his shock, the boys opponent Neji Hyuuga, attempted to one again gain the edge by doing what he does best, belittle and taunting his opposition. "It does not matter what you have hidden in your scrolls or that you try to act stronger than you are. Putting on a strong front does not dissolve your weakness, you're still trash and you will never change that." Neji spoke his words in his regal tone to show his opponent how beneath the young prodigy Naruto was.

Naruto at this just once again flashed his bloodthirsty grin. His low guttural chuckling returned once again, in mocking fashion. When Naruto spoke he could not keep his eagerness and amusement out of his voice. "Which one of us are you trying to convince Hyuuga? Your last attack while amusing did little to me, what hope do you cling to?" Naruto began returning Neji's tactics of belittling his foe, even taking on Neji's 'noble' tone.

Needless to say this struck a cord with the young 'prodigy'. After taking a moment to calm himself he once again spoke out in his condescending manner. "Why would I need to cling to something as foolish as hope? Hope is an escape for worthless trash like you to cling in ignorance, why would I ever need hope? I am guaranteed victory by destiny and fate, and you will never overcome that, dead last." After his speech Neji took on a victorious and taunting smile. Waiting for the loser before him to realize he was outclassed Neji stood in silence.

Naruto was not at all amused, but kept his composure and allowed only an animalistic growl to be his response. The growl slowly changed back into his mocking laugh, succeeding in wiping the Hyuuga's smile away. His tone was kept in taunting but contained slight annoyance as he spoke. "Don't you ever quit talking of fate? You hold onto it like a life line, guaranteeing your safety." His smirk became less mocking and more feral, more, predatory. "Then I suppose I'll have to cut that line, right before I relieve you of your pitiful existence. And your constant tone has helped me decide upon something." Here the young clinical blonde's left hand twitched excitedly. "Before I kill you I will tear out your vocal chords, to get rid of that arrogant voice of yours." Despite his obvious excitement the blonde delivered his message without any emotion.

It was this complete lack of anything human in his voice that scared Neji and the crowd more than anything else. Neji's thoughts weren't aiding him at all. "That tone, it lacks any kind of human quality, it's to lifeless! And the more focused he seems to get, the more rapid the beatings of the heart in his hand!" As though to confirm his suspicions the beating picked up loudly enough to be heard throughout the arena. Noticing this, Neji's thoughts returned, more calculating than before. "Is it the heart itself that gives Naruto his confidence? Though it's beating it carries an oppressive aura of death and darkness. And since it was unsealed, the weaklings attitude has changed entirely, he even seems far more powerful. That settles it then. The heart the trash is holding must be responsible for his change." This 'revelation' about his opponent returned Neji's confidence, and with it, his taunting demeanor. Looking towards his opponent he spoke his confidence. "Big words, coming from a loser whose power comes from a devil heart. Without that you're just another trash ninja with no hope."

For once the blonde's chuckle did not sound, seemingly confirming his berating foe's theory. As the Hyuuga started to continue, a sigh of disappointment was heard from the younger boy. "You believe the heart gives me my power? I suppose I shouldn't have expected so much from one so limited, but sadly I did expect better."These words were said without the taunting tone he used before, but in a disappointed way. It was obvious in the low, almost whispery way he spoke it.

His next words though, were spoken in a lecturing fashion, as if speaking to a young child. "No Neji you see you were wrong on all subjects here. The heart for one is not the heart of a' devil', as you put it. This is the Heart of Darkness (Muffin for anyone who gets where this is from) and it belonged to one who had the soul of an angel. One who's kindness was legendary, and who accepted all without care of what they were. He was killed by a group of humans from a greedy and corrupt order. The heart was tainted by their malice, and became what you see now. It is a testament to humanities' 'justice'. Deeming all who are different 'monsters', when they are the true evil beings. I believe it is a strong symbol of the true heart of humanity. As with anything there are exceptions to this rule, but pure and innocent humans are too few to make a difference."

At this he looked at the heart in brief sadness, before speaking again to Neji again in his scolding tone. "And as for the heart being what gives me my power that also is false. Yes, if I were to give myself over to its power, and became its slave then it would be the heart that held the power and control, but that is not the case. You see Hyuuga my will is what leads, not the hearts. I'm the one in control, and as such the heart is just a weapon to me, like your 'precious bloodline' is to your and your pathetic clan. Though with how your people use and revere the bloodline it seems to be more in control than you are. With your reliance on it, it's the bloodlines power not your own you have so much confidence in. Without its abilities you're even lower than the trash you claim others to be." The young blondes mocking voice returned at this, insulting the Hyuuga, as he had done to others before. "So that is where you stand Hyuuga. Can't you see it's pointless? You won't win; you should give up and accept your fate like the rest of your kind."

Having his own words thrown back in his face set the Hyuuga branch member into a state of rage. No longer able to control his emotion he shouted in shouted his words in rage "How dare a commoner like you speak to me like that?! I am a Hyuuga! As such I am your better in every way! If you are so sure of yourself then prove your worth. When you try I shall make you see how worthless you are! Your place is at the feet of one such as I like the mongrel you are, and that is where you will be after I am victorious! You will beg for forgiveness and mercy, and shall receive neither! Come and meet your end weakling!"

The red eyed boys eyes flashed at the challenge, and his response was betrayed his excitement. "Finally Hyuuga, I thought I'd have to wait all day for you to get ready! Since you are so anxious to meet your death, I will show you some of the hearts power, think of it as a way to honor your final moments." With that Naruto began to squeeze the heart slowly. The heart beat faster and stronger as he applied more force. Soon a tearing sound was heard, and a thin piece of flesh and cartilage made its way out the base of the heart. Slowly extending a few inches out it stopped after a few moments. Another sound was then heard, a sound of slicing flesh. At the top of the heart was a small metal piece. The piece extended from the organ quicker than the base had. When it stopped, there was a slightly curved blade nearly a meter in length. The heart pumped once strongly, and vein like tubes spread downward from the base, covering the cartilage and digging into Naruto's wrist. In a matter of moments the heart had warped itself into a sickening katana like form. As it finished the heart started pulsing once more, signifying the end of its transformation. And the smile that covered the wielder's face seemed to belong to the devil himself.

Chapter Two officially finished.

Don't ask where the idea of the heart and sword came from because I have no idea why or where I came up with this, but I like it.The heart itself had strong symbols for Naruto and I did borrow the name of the heart from something, so if any readers recognize it i want to see if you got the reference. I put a lot of judgment and symbolism into Naruto's actions this time around, as Neji's actions had before. Naruto even used Neji's words from before to judge and taunt him. Now I realize that some of what Naruto is doing and some parts about his behavior may seem out of place and possibly conflicting, but there is a reason behind that. And more will be revealed on the heart, Naruto's actions and past as well as the person Naruto spoke of earlier and other such topics in later chapters. Next chapter concludes the battle between Neji, and Naruto, and will have more action and some fighting in it, so you get to see some of Naruto's fighting style.

Also thanks for the Reviews I got for the last chapter!. I listened to some of you guys ideas and they made a great improvement. So i'll answer some questions from Kira as they signed( Is that taken from Death Note? either way still awesome. If it is I have a Death Note reference in my second story, which I also started yesterday.) And thanks i enjoyed writing the rookie nine part of the story. And is the day after soon enough to update :). Your responses made me want to update quickly so I wrote this chapter this morning, and if i get enough more I could probably do another by the end of the day. any way off topic! So the questions were:

Will there be any pairings, The pairings can happen if you guys want them to. I have ways to work in most pairings so that they'll feel natural instead of forced, but I have no idea who i should pair who with who. Vote! leave a comment over who you would like to be with who and ill see if i can work them in well. Some pairings I probably cant work in, but for the most part open.Also if you don't want pairings you can vote on that too.

Will you continue to Sakura bash? The Sakura bashing I'm not sure exactly, if I see a good opportunity to use it (such as a bit of comedy, or to move her character in a certain direction) yes I will. If it doesn't fit well then probably not. But I will probably do it at least once more to move the story along, but who knows after that.

Thanks for the review, and I'm hoping to get many more!

Now some questions to ponder till the next chapter!

Will Neji survive? How do the Genin react to Naruto's behavior? Will I explain the events leading up to this? Find out Next Time on Ninja Revelations!
