Chapter 8: The Uchiha and Bug boy. Fight to the finish!
Nxh592: Hey! People, I'm back! And whatever happens, I will not let today's Beginning 'ask column' end in a fight, and to ensure this, I've asked my Producer, Rayman21 to pick today's guests, and they are……… Sasuke and………… Itachi?
WHAT THE HELL MAN? What did I ever do to you?
Rayman21: you used my own move against me, hahahahah! Revenge!!!!
Nxh592: dammit! Ahh Fuggit, let's just get the fighting out of the way. Hey guys.
Sasuke: hey.
Itachi: hello.
Nxh592: so this first question is for Itachi, how did you master using the Sharingan regularly? And what's with those lines under your eyes?
Itachi: I can answer both questions, and it combines many endless hours of playing Kingdom Hearts II and a lot of coffee.
Nxh592:I see, that's strange. Hey! Here's a question for both of you. Do you have any heirlooms or mementos of your parents?
Sasuke: yeah, I got the old house, which I didn't want, my father's watch, and my Mother's sword and a lot of loot!
Nxh592: cool! What about you Itachi?
Itachi (reaches in coat and pulls out a stuffed Rabbit)
Nxh592: … a stuffed bunny? Why a stuffed bunny?
Sasuke: hey wait! That's mine! I mean… it was when I was a baby.
Nxh592: ah! That answers my question.
Itachi: do you remember what you called it?
Sasuke: Don't you dare.
Itachi: now what was it?
Sasuke: I'm warning you Itachi.
Itachi: ohh… now I remember, it was…
Sasuke: please don't say it.
Itachi: I won't say it for a price.
Sasuke: your blackmailing me?
Itachi: yeah.
Sasuke: ah! Fine, all I have on me is 15,000 Ryo.
Itachi: thank you, here (throws stuffed bunny)
Sasuke: (catches it) oh! Mr. Tinkles I missed you so.
Nxh592: Mr. Tinkles? (Stifled laughter turned to big laughter)
Sasuke: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! (Fetal Position in corner)
Itachi: he paid me for the doll and not to tell the name of it, he had the doll and was the one that told you the name.
Nxh592: is he gonna be alright? (Pokes with stick)
Itachi: don't worry; he just does that to get attention.
Nxh592: well that's all for this column, enjoy the eighth volume… wait… no fighting? No broken bones? No one screaming revenge!? No one killing anybody? IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!!

(Thinking or flashback)
(Inner Sakura or Demon)
"And the winner is, Naruto Uzumaki" the proctor yelled out!
The crowd went wild. "COME ON!!! DAMMIT SHIKAMARU, WAIT TILL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!" Ino yelled
"We told you Ino, Naruto is just too determined to win" Hinata said when Naruto was declared the winner "alright Naruto-Chan!!!"
'I don't believe it, Naruto actually won. The last match is gonna really test my strength ' Sasuke thought
"Come on Shikamaru" Naruto said picking him up going up the stairs.
"Huh? Wh-what… happened?" Shikamaru asked
"Sorry to say, you lost" Naruto said
"Heheh, really? Guess I wasn't quick enough huh?" Shikamaru said standing by himself "oh well, guess I gotta be more quick, huh?"
"Actually, you were pretty quick to find out my plan." Naruto said
"But what's been bugging me is how you did it." Shikamaru said
"Oh! It's my Kekkei Genkai. The yellow flash Jutsu." Naruto explained "my old man taught it to me."
"Old man? Who are you talking about?" Shikamaru asked confused
"My dad, the fourth Hokage." Naruto said
Shikamaru was speechless "no way." He said smiling
"Yeah, I found out about two weeks ago, I was just as surprised, I'm the Hokage's son." Naruto said as they reached where Hinata, Sakura, and Ino were sitting
"Naruto-Chan!!!" Hinata said as she jumped up to give Naruto a congratulatory Kiss "you were excellent!!!"
"Way to go Naruto!" Sakura said holding back Ino
"SHIKAMARU!!! YOU LOST BIG TIME! I'M GONNA KILL YA, LET ME AT 'IM. LET ME AT 'IM!!!" Ino yelled trying to get free.
"Easy Ino, I didn't give up like last time did I?" Shikamaru said
"No, but you still lost. You were the last of team 10 to go all the way. Choji and me were counting on you." Ino said
"I wasn't" Choji said from the back while he chomped on a chip
"Well thanks for the jester, but I'm gonna be made Chunin either way." Shikamaru said
" What?" Everyone said at the same time
" Old Man Hokage told me that it didn't matter if I won or not, because of my last match. So I'll be made Chunin anyway," Shikamaru explained
"All right, that's good news" Naruto said "let's sit down and watch Sasuke's match and see how he does"
"Yeah!!! Lets go Sasuke-chan!!!" Sakura yelled
"Come on, let's go Sasuke-kun, let's go Shino-kun!!" Hinata yelled
Sasuke just came out onto the field and Shino was on his way.
"So who do you think has the advantage here Arashi?" Tsunade asked
"Hmm, I don't know, Sasuke and Shino both have the advantage of their clans, but I think Sasuke has more of a chance than Shino does" Arashi said "what do you think old man?"
"Hmm, I have to agree, Sasuke has more chance. But I wouldn't rule Shino out, you must remember that he can control insects due to his clan" Sarutobi said
"Hmm, I smell a wager." Tsunade said slyly "how bout it, Sarutobi-Sensei, we all put in 50,000 Ryo on who ever wins. If the person wins that you picked than you get to keep the money"
"Hmm, alright. I'll pick Sasuke." Arashi said putting his money in
"I'll pick Shino" Sarutobi said putting in his share
"I'll go with you sensei, I'll pick Aburame" Tsunade said
Shino came out from the stairs.
"I hope your ready Shino." Sasuke said
"Don't you worry Sasuke Uchiha, I will not hold back" Shino responded
"Alright, let's get it started, are you both ready?" The Proctor asked
"Uhh… one second" Sasuke said disappearing in a cloud of smoke
"Hey, where'd Sasuke get to?" Ino asked
"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled, as he appeared "give me a Kiss for luck."
"What?!" Ino yelled
Sakura kissed Sasuke on the lips "luck!"
Sasuke disappeared with a satisfied smile. Ino was Speechless
"What the hell? Why'd Sasuke-Kun ask you for a kiss Billboard Brow?" Ino asked ready to tear her to shreds
"You didn't know Ino, they've been goin out for weeks," Naruto said "just about the time me and Hinata-chan started to date."
"Hold up!!! You and Hinata have been goin out too Naruto?" Ino asked in disbelief
"Well she doesn't call me Naruto-chan for her health" Naruto joked
Hinata laughed to herself,
"What's so funny Hinata?" Ino yelled
"Nothing it's just that… everyone knew that me and Naruto were going out. You were the first to be surprised at it Ino" Hinata said "oh! Look it's starting"
Hinata was right, Sasuke was on the move. Shino wasn't missing a beat. Wherever Sasuke came to attack, Shino came with a shield of bugs protecting him.
Sasuke was getting frustrated, 'guess I've gotta use the Sharingan, didn't think it would be this early I had to use it' he thought.
Sasuke activated the first Level. Once he did, an old memory haunted his head. He was in the same spot he was when Itachi used the Magenkyo on him. He was seeing Itachi kill his parents again.
"Gyahhhhh!!! What…? What is this?" Sasuke wondered
"What's wrong Sasuke is the torture insect sinking in?" Shino asked
"Torture insect? What…?" Sasuke said confused
"The torture insect buries inside your brain, when it gets there it attacks one part of the brain, the torture gland, when it bites it, it makes the host experience his or her worst fear, whether it be a fear of an object such as Spiders, or in your case Sasuke Uchiha, your brother." Shino explained
Sasuke was swinging wildly, trying to get back to reality, but his brothers voice kept haunting his brain 'Foolish little brother, your hate is not strong enough, run, run away with your pitiful life and hate me, fear me, but you will still be weak, you can never hope to kill me'
"I… will not… lose… here!!!" Sasuke said. Sasuke closed his eyes and activated his Magenkyo Sharingan and used its special abilities to transport the bug.
Shino noticed right away. "Where…? Where did it go?" Shino said looking around to feel the bug's chakra. A sharp pain came to Shino's head.
"do you want to know where it is Shino?" Sasuke asked with is eyes still closed "it's not in the fear center, this time, it's in the nerve center."
Shino couldn't control himself. He raised his hand unable to control himself. "I… I … Give … up" Shino said after he fainted
The proctor checked his pulse to see if he was alive.
"It's alright," Sasuke said opening his eyes deactivating the Sharingan "he just fainted, he did admit defeat though right?" he asked
"Your right there," the proctor said, "this match is over, the winner is Sasuke Uchiha" he yelled the entire stadium exploded
"Damn!!! I lost, again." Tsunade said
"Hahah! I won! 150,000 Ryo comin my way" Arashi said
"Well I'm a man of my word Arashi, here" Sarutobi said giving Arashi his winnings "you too Tsunade,"
"Ah screw it! I already have a hundred I.O.U's already, no use making a hundred and one, here Arashi" Tsunade said handing over her money in anger
"Hey! I just know how to gamble, I gamble the ultimate price every day" Arashi said counting his winnings.
"That's it you little pest, Double or nothing on this match!" Tsunade said putting another 50,000 Ryo on the table.
"Alright, I can go for more, I Pick Lee." Arashi said putting 50,000 Ryo on the table as well.
"I'm staying out of this one, a wise man knows when he's out gambled." Sarutobi said sitting back
Sasuke helped the Medical Nin to get Shino out of the way and went back to where he was sitting.
"Sasuke-Chan, you were great!" Sakura said hugging and kissing him "you looked hurt down there what happened?"
"I think I know, Shino-Kun used the bug that used your fears against you right?" Hinata asked
"Yeah, that was it" Sasuke said remembering the image
"Come here Sasuke, I'll heal you" Hinata said rolling up her sleeves
"Thanks Hinata, but I'm okay," Sasuke said sitting down
"Please Sasuke, let her. The way you looked during your match, scared me" Sakura said almost crying
Sasuke gave up "alright I'll let her" he said Sitting between Sakura and Hinata
Hinata pulled down Sasuke collar so she could start
"Hinata," Sasuke Whispered
"Hmm?" Hinata asked as she started the healing process
"Don't tell Naruto about that mark" Sasuke said, " I don't like people to worry about me"
"Okay Sasuke-kun, but… What mark?" Hinata asked
Sasuke frantically looked behind his shoulder to where the curse mark once was
"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled, "Come here!"
"What? What is it Sasuke?" Sakura asked
"Look" He said pulling his shoulder for her to see "it's gone. The curse mark's gone!"
"What does that mean Sasuke?" Sakura asked
"I don't know, but I know one thing, I'm not under Orochimaru's control anymore" Sasuke said
" Maybe it's when…" Sakura said
"Do you think?" Sasuke said
"WOULD YOU TWO STOP TALKING IN CODE?!!!" Hinata screamed
Sasuke and Sakura took a step back
"Sorry, I just got frustrated, I'm trying to heal you and you keep moving." Hinata apologized
"I'm sorry Hinata, I'll keep still." Sasuke said taking his seat again.
Hinata used her healing Jutsu again "wow Hinata, That's cool." Sakura said with an amazed look on her face
"Thanks Sakura, it's really simple once you get used to it" Hinata explained "maybe Lady Tsunade can teach you, that's basically how I learned healing jutsu"
"Lady Tsunade huh?" Sakura wondered
"Mmhmm, she's up there with the third Hokage and Arashi." Hinata said pointing to the top box.
Sakura looked up she saw the blond woman putting money on the table yelling at Arashi.
"Hang on isn't she one of the legendary Sanin?" Sakura asked
"Yes, why?" Hinata asked
"Then, shouldn't she be fifty something?" Sakura asked
"She uses a Genjutsu to hide her age" Sasuke said as Hinata finished " 'not many people would come to her if she's an old bat' that's what the third Hokage told me she said"
"Alright the third match is about to begin, will Tenten and Rock Lee please come down." The proctor said
Lee jumped down off three stories from where he was and whooped like a baboon. Tenten just took the stairs red in the face thinking 'why does he have to act out like that'
Tenten and Lee got in the middle of the field "alright whoever wins will fight Sasuke Uchiha in the Semi-Finals. Do you both understand?" The proctor asked
They both nodded "Please Tenten, don't go easy on me because I got out of the Hospital." Lee said getting ready
"Only if you don't go easy on me because I'm a girl" Tenten said grabbing her scrolls
"I would never," Lee said
"Alright," The proctor said, "let the third match begin!"
Nxh592: hahahahah! Second match complete! Today, I have from Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric, and the best Automail engineer in the world, Winry Rockbell!
