Shunpo 9

Here we go!

Arena

IT was Kiba's turn. He was facing no one from Konoha but Temari was actually in the division. Kiba wasn't worries about her though. It was true, Kiba had quite a lot of aces up his sleeves, but they may not be enough. Naruto had gauged Fu's strength in the restaurant. And from that, Naruto knew to watch out for Fu. Her regular chakra levels were beyond a normal gennin even beyond a chuunin's. But what was the real danger was the Yokai, he felt, flowing through her system. It was more ore less the same amount as the regular chakra which meant that Fu had control over her chakra. That was definetly a disadvantage.

ON a better note a lot of people have started to take an interest to Naruto. Naruto had gone to flawlessly destroy his opponents with Taijutsu or very simple techniques (or at least what he considers easy techniques) like Kage Bunshin and Kage Shuriken. He wanted to save his skills for later. While he did make a good show for the entrepreneurs, he gave a warning to all the other shinobi's: he was a threat and could really kick some ass. That would go a long way for Konoha's prestige and now what was left was for Naruto's teammates and … Sasuke to do their part.

Naruto sighed as he sat down on the couch. He would have to up his game too. He had read in the scroll that Sarutobi's flame seal had a second level, but this had nothing to do with the seals. It actually had to do with flame manipulation and a hell of a lot of chakra. Naruto was already practicing flame manipulation as he sat down and watched the other gennins pace around or talk. In his left hand, which was face down and out of sight, he was holding a fireball, albeit an extremely small and quite harmless one, to control the flame. OF course he would start increasing the size but right now this was the only way he knew to practice Elemental Manipulation.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMENT WELCOME TO THE-"

Naruto looked up to wards Kiba who was leaning against the wall, stairing at the ceiling and florescent lights. Naruto got up and extinguished his flame. He leaned on the wall next to Kiba and said "Take it easy for the first few rounds, you won't have to do anything big till the finals."

Kiba nodded. "Who do I have to watch out for."

Naruto scratched his head and sighed. "If it were any other condition I would say Temari but… I believe Fu from the Waterfall village is a bigger threat. I suggest going all out on her, including using That. You can go all out and I put the fail safe seals in your water proof bag."

Kiba unconsciously reached for his back pouch to feel for the papers. But as he did this, Kiba's eyes widened. "Seriously, she's that dangerous."

Naruto nodded. Naruto was about to contine when the speakers called out Kiba's name. Naruto smiled and let Kiba walk towards the entrance. Naruto called after him "GOOD LUCK MAN!"

Shino, who was near the entrance to the Arena, patted Kiba on the back and Akamaru on the head.

Kiba smirked and walked up.

Several matches

As Naruto had predicted, Kiba had won all of his matches with ease. It made the audience wonder: How strong were the Konoha gennin. These kids were simply dominating the field. Naurto was actally pretty happ with the results. But Naruot was still nervous about Fu. From the commentary, she only used taijutu and a single c-rank Suiton Jutsu against Temari.

It was pretty impressive, and Kiba took Naruto's warning seriously by then.

"Will Kiba of Konoha and Fu of Taki please come up to the arena."

Naruto blinked and looked up at Kiba who clenched his right hand. Naruto caught Kiba's eye as he stood up. Naruto just gave a single nod, and Kiba understood. It was all that was needed between friends. They didn't have to say anything, they knew what to do.

Kiba walked up to the Arena, still gripping his right hand.

Kiba

Kiba looked around at his surrounding and saw his opponent in front of him. She had to be proficient at Taijutsu but Kiba had a sneaking suspiscion she had another ace up her sleeve somewhere. Kiba didn't mind though, he had other aces up his sleeve too.

The walked to the center of the arena, they were about 10 feet apart. The roar of the crowd was deafening but Kiba blocked it out. He let the adrenaline pump into his blood and let his muscles loosen up. Akamaru was on the ground growling at Fu. Fu 'mirrored' him. She lifted her left arm and shook it a couple times. They were just waiting for the-

"Begin!"

Kiba shot forward at Fu, his hand raised in pose to swipe at her. Fu simply raised her arm and blocked Kiba's strike by the wrist. Kiba anticipted this and grabbed Fu's wrist and jumped over her head, pulling Fu's arm with him. Kiba was about to throw Fu but suddenly he lost his grip. Kiba used his forward momentum and jumped away from Fu, so that Akamaru and him were on opposite sides of her. 'What was that.' Kiba thought as he clenched his right hand. It was like her arm or something expanded, breaking his grip. Kiba glared at Fu and bent lower to the ground. 'Well lets see... ABOUT THIS!'

Kiba ran forward, adding chakra to his feet. Fu got into a stance and prepared for the assault. Kiba ran forward with a reverse punch to Fu's face. Fu easily sidestepped it and swung her leg out at Kiba. Kiba jumped up and smoothly flipped over it. Kiba landed low to the floor and did a leg sweep to Fu's leg. Fu anticipated it and jumped over Kiba's leg. Kiba smirked and then charged Fu with a heavy shoulder smash. Fu, being in the air, couldn't dodge it. Kiba hit directly on. Fu was sent flying back into the trees. Kiba blinked as he watched her crash into the trees, 'That was... unexpected... when I smashed into her, it felt like I was hitting a wall. And there is no way she could add that much chakra to her body to harden it.' Kiba pused aside his thoughts as he gave a signal to Akamaru.

Akamaru bonded off into the forest where Fu had crashed. Fu, on the other hand, walked ot of the forest, not a scratch on her. Kiba blinked and his eyes narrowed. 'Huh this will be interesting.'

Kiba set his right foot back and leaned back on it. He put his right hand in a position to punch, and readied his chakra. Fu, on the other hand, smirked and put her hand in the Tiger seal. 'Gathering chakra' Kiba thought. Kiba blinked as he thought he saw a green-aqua color shimmer over Fu. 'What was that? Chakra?' Kiba bit his lip as he tried to decide what to do.

Fu didn't let him have the chance as she charged forward. Fu let out a flurry of fast punches. Kiba weaved his way backwards away from the punches. Kiba suddenly stepped to far back and was off balance. Fu saw this and charged forward with a mid level punch. Kiba smirked as he let his body fall to the ground. Fu's punch over shot, and she couldn't recover since she had put a lot of momentum into the punch. Kiba rolled onto his hands, doing a hand stands, and hit forward with both his legs. Fu was hit up into the air. But Kiba noticed something really interesting... his foot never touched her stomach.

Kiba jumped up after Fu and yelled out "NOW!"

Fu eyes widened and looked around for another attack. 'What is he talking about' Fu thought with worry. She tried to turn herself to see another attack but it was too late. Akamaru burst out from the forest behind her. He was in his 'Kiba' Form and was spinning furiously. Fu tried to manuver her body to dodge the attack but Akamaru was too accurate. He smashed directly into her. Kiba watched intently as he ran through several hand seals. He was right, Akamaru was hitting Fu dead on but he was only coming barely an inch of her. The attack was not reaching her. 'Lets see what happens if I do this then.' Kiba thought. If it did what he thought it would, then he would have to bring out the ace. Kiba raised his arm and let electricity circle it. Fu, who was pushed from behind by Akamaru, was now flying towards Kiba. Kiba brutally smashed his hand into her stomach, calling out "Raiton: Thunder Claw."

A wave of Thunder chakra coursed from Kiba's hand trying to shock Fu. Kiba watched the chakra and saw that it dispersed over her body, not even once touching her. Fu was sent flying back into a nearby pond. 'so i'm right' Kiba thought. 'a Chakra shield, but the strength of its … amazing its ridiculous. It could probably be turned into a offensive technique too. I mean by adding chakra yo can also add pressure, weight, range and even speed!' Kiba smiled to himself. He knew that match was far from over... it looks like he'd have to use that after all. Kiba called out, "Akamaru i'm going to use that"

Akamaru nodded (in his Kiba form) in recognition and jumped back. Kiba took a deep breath and went on his hands so that he was in the traditional 4 leg style taijutsu stance that the Inuzuka. He started to circulate chakra though his coils and towards his hands and legs. Normally, it would be necessary to do this for the Taijutsu but he was doing this for a different reason.

Kiba saw bubbles start to rise to the surface of the pond that he had punched Fu into and glared hard. 'here we go.'

"SUITON: DRAGON MISSLE"

Kiba pushed off with his 'legs' but didn't use the chakra. His 'ace' had to relay on direct confrontation. It was extremely powerful but it was too powerful. Once he activated there was no half assing anything.

Fu jumped out of the water smiling. She had finally come across an opponent she could really fight against. She turned to Kiba and pushed off with her feet, adding chakra to the chakra barrier. The chakra barrier was actually a way to keep her bijuu's chakra under control. It would tranfer the demonic chakra into a shield surrounding her. Of course she controlled the flow of that chakra, whether she wanted it stronger or not depended it on her choice. Of course it took amazing concentration to juggle two chakras at once but she was trained since birth to do it.

Fu pushed off with amazing speed and raised her arm to punch Kiba in the gut. Kiba was waiting for her but when he saw her charge he tried to dodge. It seemed that she was faster than Kiba, because she landed a solid hit to Kiba's stomach. Fu pouted a bit as Kiba was sent flying back. 'that easy huh?'

"hey that was my favorite jacket."

Fu whipped around to find Kiba behind her. Fu eyes widened and she jumped back to get some distance. As she did so, she looked over to where she had punched 'Kiba' and in accordance with Kiba's words, there was a beaten jacket instead of a knocked out Kiba. Fu turned around and glared at Kiba. 'A replacement technique. No way... I definetly felt something. And I didn't sense any genjutsu.'

Kiba smirked. "that was Sonido: Replacement" Kiba then disappeared again. Fu eyes winded as she searched for him. She was suddenly hit in the stomach with the force of a truck going at 70 mph. Needless to say, she flew back and smashed into a couple trees. But luckily, for her chakra shield, she was ale to recover easily to find Kiba smirking.

Fu gritted her teeth. It looked like she needed to pull out all the stops for this one.

Kiba just readied himself again. And even though he was smirking on the outside, his mind was racing on the inside. 'ok... two so far without a hitch but that last one... I definetly felt a burn. That means the seal is starting to over heat or whatever Naruto calls it. I can probably only use 3 maybe 4 more of Sonido... Guess I have to use the trump..'

Kiba yelled out ." AKAMARU!"

Fu eyes widned and she immediately jumped. She ran through several seals and called out "SUITON: GRAND TORRENT"

A nearby pond srprung and shot towards Fu.

Kiba eyes widned. 'what his she!'

Akamaru was attacking her from behind. Sadly since Akamaru was in the air, he couldn't manuver out of the way fast enough. The Grand torrent smashed into Fu and Akamaru.

"SHIT!" Kiba yelled as he watched the Jutsu 'crush' them.

As the Jutsu fell, Kiba's gut fell, what had happened to Akamaru?

"Well at least your puppy is gone." Fu coughed from the side of Kiba.

Kiba spun around, still on hands and feet. He saw Akamaru under a tree, drenched and unconscious but overall fine. Fu was standing a couple feet next to Akamaru, also drenched.

Kiba growled out "you'll pay for that."

Fu smirked. "Lets see what you-"

Kiba had already dissipated leaving only an after image. Fu was hit in the stomach but a huge impact after a surrounding boom. "urk"

Kiba stopped but Fu was flying back hard. Fu crashed into a boulder creating a large dust and rubble cloud. Kiba smirked as he said ."Sonic Gatsuuga"

Kiba was smiling on the outside but every where else was hurting like a bitch. Passing the sonic barrier was something not many people did, and those who did usually had enough chakra or strength to withstand it. Kiba only had the speed not the fortitude.

Kiba looked through the dust where Fu had landed. When it had barely cleared, Kiba realized she wasn't there. Kiba looked around for her but he was suddenly push down by gallons upon gallons of water.

"ARRGG" Kiba cried out.

Fu then came down with avengance. She had used another grand torrent but this time in the air. She pushed down Kiba to immobolize him. Then She raised her arm and smashed hard on Kiba's back. Not enough to paralyze him but enough to hurt him considerably. There were cracks on the ground where Kiba was hit.

Fu smirked at her results but it was short lived. Kiba's body flickered twice and disapperaed.

'Shit an-"

"GATSUUGA RAGING STORM!"

Fu knelt down and put all her concentration into the chakra Shield.

It was lucky she did that since she was pelted over and over again by spinning missles.

Kiba looked at Fu and saw the sweat pouring down her face. 'I almolst have her."

Kiba came around for another pass when he felt a sharp pain. "ARGG!"

Fu blinked and looked to her right side. Kiba was there laying on the ground in obvious pain. At first Fu was wary but Kiba the groaned out ."P-procter I give up."

Fu blinked and walked over to Kiba. "Whats wrong with you?"

Kiba turned over onto his back, panting out, "I- seals are killing me."

"Seals?"

Kiba nodded wearily. "Yea, Naruto made them... could you, Urk, do me a favor and reach into my pouch and get out the peaces of the paper with the kanji 'reverse' on them."

Fu bent down and did so. "And want do you want me to do with these."

Kiba said painfully. "Put them on my wrists and ankles."

Fu did so and as soon as she did so, Kiba relaxed. Fu smiled and helped Kiba up. "Well that was a good fight."

Kiba nodded and said. "Yea, I guess we'll continue it later huh?"

Fu nodded happily. "Yea it'll be fun to fight you!"

Kiba smirked as he wobbled over to get Akamaru and leave the stadium. "Yea."

Naruto

Naruto eyes widened as he heard the news. This was... enlightening. He would have to hear the details from Kiba. Fu would definitely be someone to watch out for. Well Naruto knew that in the first place but... this was on a different level. Naruto smirked apprehensively as he thought of all the fights that would soon come.

'Well, I think its time to start training or recreate... that' Naruto thought with glee

And There we go
