A/N: Hello everyone! Lets get this next chapter started but first I believe we may have a winner for the final slot in the harem! The winner is… TAYUYA! Also, the Harley Quinn of the harem, well… THAT IS A SECRET! Now, on to the prelims! WOOT WOOT!
The hokage stared at the demon boy and red headed vixen in front of him, resisting the urge to rub his temples to fight off his growing headache. Glancing to the side, he gave Anko a questioning look but the girl just shrugged. Sighing the hokage spoke slowly, "Let me get this straight, you, Naruto, went through a transformation process that not only granted you half of the Kyuubi's chakra, but also released the Kyuubi who is actually a girl and said Bijuu is now your mate?" asked Sarutobi.
"Yup," replied the boy, a grin on his face. Sarutobi noticed that the dead blue eyes he had seen before were gone, the pain and anguish replaced with an amused gleam and those intimidating yellow black and red eyes. The insanity was still there, make no mistake, it was just less intense, or at least, more controlled. 'He has horns, red skin and a tail and here I am looking at his eyes' Hiruzen thought sarcastically.
"This process also turned you into a demon?" asked the hokage.
"Half demon," corrected the Kyuubi, still naked due to the fact that Anko had immediately rushed them to the hokage's office not minutes after the transformation. "Could we please hurry this up, I would like to get some sleep as my head feels like its in a vice with fire coursing through it," whined the girl while rubbing her temples.
"A side effect from the separation I'm assuming?" asked the hokage.
"Yes, though could we please do this another time? My familiars are defending my teammates and if I'm correct, the teme just activated the snake's gift," Naruto replied as memories from a defeated Ni entered his mind. 'Lazy bastard used a hollow tree to hide them' grumbled the grey headed demon 'Serves him right, but someone better go take care of those sound nin and mister broody's gift'
"I understand, Anko, take miss Kyuubi here to the tower in the forest of death, Naruto, as soon as you get to your team, head to the tower regardless if you have both scrolls or not," ordered the old man. Anko nodded before shushining out of the building with the fox demon.
"See ya soon monkey man!" Naruto laughed as he sank into his shadow. Sarutobi pinched the bridge of his nose and muttered something about ungrateful demons.
With team 7
Sasuke laughed as he started yanking off a screaming Zaku's arms, his entire being drunk with the power he had received from the curse mark that was spreading over his body like a cancer.
'This power' thought the boy a crazed smile on his face 'Its amazing! Its just what I need to kill Itachi!' Sasuke mentally crooned. Suddenly he felt a pair of arms wrap around him from behind. Surprised, the Uchiha turned to see a crying Sakura hugging him.
"Sasuke stop," sobbed the girl "This isn't like you! Please… just top," she cried tightening her hold on the boy. The teams 10 and 9 just watched in anticipation, waiting to se what would happen. Naruto's remaining familiars just watched the scene with varying amounts of disbelief.
"Um, shes kidding right?" San asked, currently wondering how dense the girl was. "She does know that Sasuke has always been like this, right?" he asked his brothers.
Ichi just snorted, "She's a fan girl, it doesn't surprise me," dismissed the violent blonde.
Shi just shrugged before pulling out a notebook and pencil from seemingly nowhere and started to write with a lecherous smirk on his face. "Pathetic as it is this is some great material! I can see it now! A boy tainted with evil saved by the love of a naïve girl!" crowed the clone before giggling perversely. Somewhere, near a hot spring, a white haired man felt immeasurable pride swell in his chest.
A smack to the back of the clone's head stopped the pervert from further writing as a demonic youth appeared from his shadow.
"Shi, I can understand that you're a pervert, but the battle zone is not the time to be writing smut," Naruto reprimanded his familiar, somewhat surprised his clone didn't dispel as soon as he hit it like his other shadow clones. That raised the question as to why Ni had been so easily dismissed. 'Lazy bastard probably dispelled himself on his own' thought Naruto as he fully emerged making everyone gasp at his appearance. Team 9 quickly revealed themselves as they took up a defensive stance against this obviously demonic entity, even Sasuke released a now unconscious Zaku as he watched this new creature. Everyone stared down the demon as he came several steps closer before stopping and just smirking at the teams of genin.
"Yes I know I'm only in tattered shorts but that doesn't mean you have to be amazed and or aroused, I am here simply to chew bubble gum and kick ass," here Naruto grinned evilly, "and I'm all out of bubble gum,"
"Naruto?" asked a very surprised Tenten, not quite believing what she was seeing.
"Hey Ten-chan," replied the blonde happily completely dropping the badass feel as it was replaced with a child like glee. "You'll never guess what happened! I got turned into a demon!" he said excitedly causing some to sweatdrop and others to fear. Sasuke however, his curse mark still active, said something different.
"You were always a demon dobe," he remarked, "Nothing has changed except that you finally decided to reveal your true form,' he said arrogantly. The people that knew Naruto immediately froze up in fear as they started to move behind the blonde and away from Sasuke. NO ONE called Naruto a demon for a very good reason.
Back in the academy, there had been a boy that called Naruto a demon once. The boy had walked into the classroom and Naruto had been sitting in his seat. The boy wasn't exactly bright and already was a bully, so he threatened Naruto with pain, which was bad in its self, but then the boy had called Naruto a demon. That same boy now had to drink all of his food through a straw, wear an eye patch due to his eye literally exploding, (don't ask) and had a crippled right hand mangled beyond all recognition Also, he had a scar on his head in the shape of the kanji for dumbass. That was when Naruto DIDN"T have full ninja training.
Without missing a beat, Naruto leapt at Sasuke and drove his fist deep into the Uchiha's gut. Twisting on his heel, the demon boy launched Sasuke into a tree. Surprisingly, Sasuke went straight through the tree before skidding to a stop on the ground.
Groaning the Uchiha tried to get up only to give a strangled cry as a black and red chakra claw extended out from the tree to grab Sasuke's face. The claw then retracted, dragging a surprised Sasuke with it before it stopped to reveal a grinning Naruto, his yellow irises glowing ominously.
"And now to finish this," said the Uzumaki. With that, Naruto tossed the Uchiha up into the air while forming a bat made out of shadows. Taking up a ready stance, Naruto held the bat ready to swing. "And theres the pitch!" he declared as the Uchiha descended, headfirst. With a wide grin, the blonde swung, making contact with the cursed boy's head and sending him flying. With a bone-crunching smack, the Uchiha hit the tree before hitting the ground with a dull thud, completely out cold. "And it's a home run!" roared the blonde with a demented cackle.
Needless to say, the Sound genin was more than a little freaked. 'Dear god, Orochimaru-sama never said anything about demons or the Uchiha having a curse mark! We need to get out of here fast!' thought the mummified Dosu. Heading over to his unconscious teammates, the boy hoped he would be able to get away before the attention was back on them. As he was about to leap off, he was surprised to find one of Naruto's clones stopping him with a kunai to his neck.
"Now where do you think you guys are going?" demanded Ichi, "You were trying to kill us earlier and now you're running away? I don't think so," Ichi drove his point home by applying some pressure to the kunai in his hand. Noticing the commotion, the Konoha shinobi surrounded the sound genin. With a shudder, Dosu watched as Naruto approached him, patting Ichi on the shoulder before sending a wolfish grin towards the trapped Oto ninja.
Thinking quickly the boy dug into his weapons pouch and produced an earth scroll. "If you let me and my team go, our scroll is yours," the boy stated with a shaky voice. Naruto cocked an eyebrow at this before snatching the scroll from his hands. Naruto then said one word, "Run,"
Dosu then took off as if the hounds of hell were on his tail. Chuckling, Naruto grabbed the unconscious Uchiha and a completely stunned Sakura. "If you'll excuse me, I'm needed by a certain old monkey, ja ne!" said the demon happily. In the next minute Naruto was sinking into his shadow, a screaming Sakura, who had finally realized what was happening, in tow.
"Oi! That bastard left us!" roared an irate Ichi, he was about to turn towards his brothers and complain some more when he saw them disappearing into the ground as well. "YOU BASTARDS!" Ichi yelled before he too vanished into the ground. Team ten and nine just stared before they too left the area, wondering how someone like Naruto wasn't in an asylum.
At the tower
Naruto grinned as he finally emerged from his shadow portal, a terrified Sakura and still unconscious Sasuke with him, but this time he was wearing some black pants no shoes and black shirt. The team had appeared in a mostly empty room with a riddle that said something about how if you had earth but lacked heaven you should seek knowledge and vice versa. Either way, Naruto ended up opening both scrolls where a chuunin appeared and congratulated them on passing then led them to the common rooms to wait till the other participants came. Shrugging Naruto made his way through the tower, exploring here and there before stopping at a very large arena where he saw none other than his clones San and Ichi sparring there, while Ni and Shi were watching, though there was a noticeable difference to them. The most notable being they didn't look like Naruto anymore.
Ichi was wearing absolutely no shirt and had a strange swirling red tribal tattoo on the right side of his body that went on his arm, over his right eye and chest. On his hands were two fingerless brown gloves with matching guards wrapped in chains. He was also wearing black cargo pants with a chain belt and skull buckle. On his feet were brown Greek styled sandals with matching shin guards. His hair, which was now black, was a crew cut blond with some streaks of grey and his eye color went from blue to a piercing red. In his hands was a naginata with a red tassel near the top and sheathed across his back were dual Dao swords with a iron handles wrapped in black leather with large rings on the bottom of them. Ichi had also grown quite large, a head taller than Naruto and he was ripped, as in,he could crush a diamond with one hand ripped.
San still had the same hair style he originally did though it was a much brighter blonde and seemed filled with life as his blue eyes showed no insanity or anguish but rather, child like glee and innocence, He was wearing a burnt orange jacket and black undershirt with some simple blue jeans and black sneakers lined with metal strips on the front, back, sides and bottom. On his hands were some metal gauntlets and Naruto was surprised to see they were the gauntlets the Demon Brothers had used. Another noticeable feature was that the clone was the size of a ten year old!
Naruto shifted his gaze towards Ni and Shi and was unsurprised to see that the lazy clone hadn't changed much of his clothing. He still wore the black trench coat, black pants, black shirt and black combat boots but that was where the similarity ended. The trench coat now had a hood and the goggles were replaced with a full black gas mask that hung from his neck and full black skintight gloves with a hidden blade device hidden under his wrists. It also appeared the blonde hair was now black and his eyes were a deep brown. His physical appearance was slim and he was about an inch shorter than Naruto.
Shi was wearing interesting clothes to say the least. On his head was a striped white and green bucket hat, with a dark green shirt and pants. He was also wearing a black coat with a white diamond patter near the bottom and completing his look was a pair of geta sandals on his feet. In his right hand was a cane while his left held a fan that hid part of his face and he was about an inch taller than Naruto.
"Hey guys whats up?" Naruto called to his not so similar clones. Ichi and San stopped fighting and walked up to greet their creator along with San and Ni, though Ni seemed reluctant to talk.
"Hey boss, we were just sparring, you know, passing the time," San informed him happily.
"K, but could you tell me why you're all… different?" Naruto inquired, "I mean, don't get me wrong Ichi, you look pretty badass but-"
"My name ain't Ichi anymore," interrupted the violent clone, "Its Senso," declared the no longer clone. Naruto blinked at that, they changed their names?
"Oookay, so what about the rest of you?"
"I chose Ko!" San said excitedly.
"Chie," Shi informed. 'Ero-Chie is more like it' thought Naruto.
Ni just stared at them before saying, "Kuro,"
"So your names are, War," Senso nodded, "Child," Ko gave a grin, "Wisdom," Chie just grunted, "and Black?" Kuro didn't even respond.
"Ok, that's interesting," stated the demon boy. He was about to leave when he remembered something. Turning he gave his clones a questioning look "So, since you guys aren't regular clones, where exactly do you go when I dismiss you?" Naruto asked.
All four clones looked at each other before giving Naruto a hesitant stare. "Naruto, trust me when we say you do not wish to know, not yet at least," Chie told the demon, the others nodding in agreement. Naruto cocked an eyebrow at that, before shrugging and walking off. Whatever it was, it wasn't immediately important, therefore, not worth his time.
"If you guys need me, I'm gonna be with Vixen-chan! Feel free to stay as long as you like but try not to draw to much attention to yourself," called the demon as he went in search of his lover.
The familiars all sighed in relief as their boss left the arena. "That was a close one," Senso muttered. Ko nodded in agreement before tackling his violent brother, restarting the fight. Chie and Kuro just watched their brothers fight, silently contemplating a very serious matter.
"When should we tell him?" Kuro whispered to the logical one who had hid his face behind his fan once more.
Sighing, Chie snapped it shut and just watched as Ko dodged getting beheaded, laughing like a child. "I truly don't know, Kuro, how exactly would you want to be told that you died?" he questioned.
In another part of the tower.
Naruto had just walked into the dormitory area of the tower when he saw the one demoness he had been searching for. Lounging on the couch was none other than the Kyuubi no Kitsune, though now she was wearing clothes, nothing much, just a red shirt and jeans, though thanks to the former human's now improved eye sight, he could see she wasn't wearing a bra and most likely not wearing panties either.
The fox demon looked up at the red skinned demon and gave a seductive smile "Hello Naru-kun," she purred, standing up and sashaying towards him. The grey haired demon blinked as a certain smell hit him, not arousal but rather, a smell similar to it. Naruto blinked at the smell before something in his mind told him what it was. Lust, pure lust!
Naruto smiled slightly as he felt his own desire stir within him self as the temptress took another step closer. Snaking her arms around his neck, the vixen pushed her body against Naruto's, "You know, I haven't tested my new body yet, want to take it for a spin?" she asked. Naruto inadvertently took a few steps back and backed into a door, causing Kyuubi to smile a little wider.
Naruto just chuckled and wrapped an arm around her waist, "Don't complain if I get a little rough with it," he growled. With that, he closed the distance between them and put his lips against hers. The vixen moaned in appreciation as Naruto fumbled with the doorknob.
LEMON! SMALL CHILDREN LOOK AWAY!
Finally opening the door the two stumbled into the room, too busy to really notice fine details but it was furnished with a lavish double bed that seemed out of place in such a drab tower but, again, neither occupant took any notice of it beyond what their minds played out what would happen atop it. The rest of the room had one doorway leading to a bathroom and a table next to the bed for placing various things before going to sleep.
Naruto nor Kyuubi were paying attention to their surroundings as they continued to maul each others mouths to get their partner in the mood. There was no love, no tenderness, just a raw need that the both of them wanted to sate.
The two separated only for Kyuubi's shirt to be ripped off her toned body and thrown away before Naruto stepped back in for more. Naruto thrust his tongue into Kyuubi's mouth as he let his hands caress her freed breasts. The two might be running on baser instincts but Naruto would not allow harm to come to those he deems good. As such, he did take care to not abuse her body.
Each of his hands gripped Kyuubi's bountiful chest and kneaded her flesh as he proceeded to work her body over. He could feel as her own hands ran all over his body and slipped under his shirt to trace his muscled body. He let his shirt be pulled off of him as they separated for breath and he smirked at Kyuubi's flushed face.
He bent down slightly and took a breast into his mouth and suckled her nipple as he kneaded her other breast with his hand and started to work her pants and panties off of her hips. He smiled internally as Kyuubi's hands shot to her own pants and drug them down so the offending clothing was out of the way. She threw them into the corner and stepped back while slightly spreading her legs. Kyuubi's red eyes pierced into Naruto's new eyes. He smirked as he beheld her new pussy lips for the first time.
Naruto got the silent question in her gaze and stance. He immediately threw her on to the bed and dragged her to the edge of the bed so her ass was barely on the bed. He dove into her honey pot and put her legs on his shoulders as he tasted her new body for the first time. He loved the pretty pink color that her nether lips were and marveled at his better eyesight. Even with the small amount of foreplay they had engaged in, her lips were glistening with juices.
As soon as he tasted Kyuubi's flavor he decided he quite liked it and dove in for more, literally ravishing her nether lips with his tongue. He let his tongue trace all the way from the bottom of her lips to her clit. One of Kyuubi's hands show to fist in his hair as she subtly moved his head around to hit all of her points perfectly. Her other was tweaking her own nipple in an attempt to help her arousal.
Naruto kept plundering his newfound drink as Kyuubi's moans and groans increased. He could feel his own arousal increasing as the tightness in his pants was ever growing. He smirked right before he stuck his tongue as deep as he could into Kyuubi's pot. He was pleased as he heard her moan particularly load and her hand fisted a bit harder.
Kyuubi loved how Naruto ate her out. He always was great when they would go at it in his mind. She groaned as he hit a particularly sensitive spot and could almost feel his satisfaction at drawing her moans of pleasure. She knew he enjoyed her moans and she moaned out a bit more than she would with someone else, simply because she knew it put him in the mood.
He sent his tongue all around inside her. He loved drawing moans from her. As he felt her walls starting to flutter in succession he decided it was time for him to bring her what she loved. He pulled his tongue from her pot and bit lightly on her clit. He gently rolled it around in his mouth and smiled as he heard her scream out her release while he drank her juices.
Kyuubi's eyes fluttered as she felt her first orgasm of the night hit her. She felt herself flood her juices down into his waiting mouth and swore she heard him gulping it down. She was always a gusher. As a demon, her regeneration kept her from being dehydrated even when she let loose such a deluge. She sighed as her body relaxed from her orgasm and she purred in pleasure as she felt him lick up her nether lips in preparation for what he wanted to do.
She quickly moved away from him so he couldn't take control and flipped herself so she was behind him. She pulled him up seductively and suddenly dropped down while grabbing her pants and freed his demonic cock. She loved his red skin. It matched her hair and eyes so perfectly. Her ears twitched as she heard a 'thwap' sound from his freed cock but she did not look just yet. She pulled his pants off and threw them away before she turned around to take the first look of his new cock.
She went cross-eyed as she looked at his manhood. He had turned around so his head was directly in front of her lips even as he stood away from her. She felt herself dampen again as she took in the 9 1/2 inch piece of man that stood out proudly towards her. She reached out hesitantly to wrap her hand around his red member. She could see the veins pulsing and saw it twitch slightly. She gasped as she finally grasped it and it felt like a miniature sun. He was always warm to her but this seemed intensely so.
She smirked slightly though since she was going to love this and started to stroke him lightly. "Does little Naruto want to plunder the depths he has only tasted in dreams?" she asked lightly as she blew on his head and saw him shiver. She was always the dominant one. "Do you want to take this demonic cock and fuck me until I can't remember my name Naru-kun?" she asked seductively.
Naruto's eyes suddenly snapped open and he said, "On your knees."
Kyuubi's eyes widened as she stared into Naruto's demonic eyes. She had stopped stroking at his tone and said, "Wh-what?"
"I said, get on your knees you little vixen!" he repeated and removed her hand from him looking at her expectantly. His nose twitched and he smiled.
Kyuubi's pussy almost started to convulse at his tone. Very few men would be able to give her such a demanding tone while in the bedroom. It was not a well known fact but because she was always in a position of power, she had a slight fetish for being submissive within the bedroom. That Naruto would take control like that both surprised and extremely aroused her. She knew he smelt her increased arousal and almost cursed but her body betrayed her as it prepared itself for the obvious pleasure it was about to receive.
Naruto smirked. "So, my little vixen-chan likes that idea does she? She has a little submissive fetish eh? Well, I will be happy to oblige Vixen-chan! Now, On Your Knees." Naruto said.
Kyuubi shuddered but got onto the bed and onto her hands and knees while presenting her pussy to his engorged head. She knew what he was going to do was going to rock her world. She could feel her pussy already leaking fluids as she prepared.
Naruto got behind her and lined himself up as he whispered into her ear, "This pussy is never going to want another cock ever!" with that he thrust himself in to her tight sheath and saw her scream in pain as he broke her hymen.
Both of them had forgotten about this being a new body and that this would be a virgin body. When Naruto broke her hymen he had almost stopped but knew that it would work better if he continued so once he buried himself in her he simply waited for her regeneration to help her sort the pain.
Kyuubi's eyes flew wide as she experienced her hymen being broken. She had forgotten about her proof of innocence in this newly made body. She sighed as she felt Naruto bottom out after having brushed her cervix with the tip of his cock and held himself there. She tensed slightly and slowly allowed herself to overcome the pain of his initial penetration. She was unprepared when Naruto pulled out and plunged back into her depths.
She had almost been ready but he was showing that he was in charge as he quickly set up a pace between the two which allowed her almost no time to adjust to him. Her pussy was slightly sore from the penetration but she was enjoying his new speed.
Naruto pulled out and thrust back in as he felt her pussy start to even out after he had broken her hymen. He smirked as he continued thrusting back into her not allowing her time to feel him. He was not going to allow her to be the dominant one any longer. His demonic instincts screaming at him to take charge of this demoness under him.
"You like that you little demon slut? You like me pounding in and out of your tight twat?" he asked huskily as he gave a few particularly hard thrusts.
Kyuubi's eyes started to flutter again as she responded mindlessly, "Yes Yes! Oh Please keep going!"
Naruto smirked and leaned back. He pulled her hands up so that he was pulling her towards him as their hips pulled away from each other then smacked back together again. He used his control over shadows to start to caress her erect nipples as she bounced with each thrust her gave.
Kyuubi was drooling at the mouth as he held her up with her arms. She felt something lovingly caress her breasts and looked down only to notice darkness covering her nipples. She felt it tweak her erect nipple and moaned out as the increase in pleasure started to catch up with her.
Naruto was wondering what else he could do to prove to Kyuubi she was no longer going to be able to lead him when he realized he had one appendage that was not occupied. He brought his spade like tail around and whipped it across her bottom as he pulled out. He smirked as instead of a loud scream of pain, he got a whimper of pleasure.
"What's wrong Vixen-chan? Do you want something?" he asked as he slowed his thrusts.
"More..." she whispered. She didn't want to completely submit to him but her pleasure was first in her mind right now.
"More what Vixen-chan?" he asked as he used slow long thrusts into her to keep her at a constant state of arousal.
"Thrust more! Put your cock further in my pussy. I want it in my womb!" she screamed out at him.
"You asked for it." He said as he increased his pace again feeling his own climax coming on.
"Spank this slut's ass more!" she begged. Naruto smirked as his tail came around and started to spank her again. He knew he had her now.
Kyuubi could feel as all of the pleasure was accumulating and her pussy started to convulse around his member. She threw her head back and howled as she went threw one of the biggest orgasms of her life.
Naruto leaned back as he felt Kyuubi start to convulse and commanded, "I am going to show you who owns you Vixen-chan! Take my load Vixen. Take it all deep in your pussy!"
Naruto thrust himself back in to the hilt and let go of the massive amount of cum that his balls could now hold into his lover. He loved the feeling of her velvety walls fluttering around his member as he let himself go.
Kyuubi's pussy started to convulse even harder as Naruto buried himself balls deep into her pussy and let his load shoot. She felt him pierce her cervix through the haze of pleasure and start to paint her walls white. She could feel as he spurted rope after rope of hot thick cum directly into her womb. Her pussy mapped the contour of his cock as it twitched and swelled while depositing an obscene amount of cum directly into her womb.
She came down from her orgasm but noticed he was still buried inside her. She looked down and her eyes widened as she saw the mess they had made. She smiled as she had always loved it when a man could fill her completely.
Beneath Naruto and Kyuubi was a puddle of Kyuubi's juices and Naruto's semen as the two rolled away from the damp spot and cuddled on one side of the bed.
Ok lemon over, the kids can watch again! Also all credit goes to Tsukune08 for this epically awesome lemon!
As the two laid on the bed recovering from their escapade. Naruto couldn't help but chuckle, a small gleam in his eye as he turned his head to look at an exhausted Kyuubi. Curious she just cocked an eyebrow at the demon's look until she noticed the gleam in them. Her own eyes widened a bit before she smiled and engaged the hanyou in another passionate kiss. Naruto hummed "I've got a feeling" as his Vixen-chan kneeled in front of him.
Several days later, in the arena
Naruto smirked as he walked onto the balconies lining the arena he had seen his familiars practicing in, only now, they were filled to the brim with all the passing genin and their senseis, along with none other than the hokage himself next to some sickly looking jounin. Although, with Naruto's new demonic senses he could tell there were a lot more people than what could be initially seen, In a small blacked out room above the statue was Ibiki from the first exam, Anko and the clan heads.
The boy received some stares as he entered the room, but instead of ones of terror he was met with ones of curiosity and confusion. Naruto had entered the arena with his most prominent demonic features being repressed, meaning his horns, red skin, tail and claws were gone, leaving behind only his new hair and eyes, which he displayed proudly. He was wearing his normal black cloth head band on his forehead except he was also wearing a red vest with black trim and a picture of a laughing skull smoking a cigar and wearing a party hat on the back of it. Under the vest was no shirt and on his legs was a pair of black jeans with a studded leather belt with silver satanic cross belt buckle. On his feet were his normal combat boots, but on the bottom of the shoes were the kanji for pathetic written in yellow on them. Finishing the look was a brown glove on his right hand, vials of an eerily glowing liquid in a ring around his wrist, all connecting to the knuckles of the gloves.
Naruto went to stand next to his team, receiving some wary glances from Sakura, a glare from Sasuke and a curious look from Kakashi. Though when the hokage started to speak, Naruto just tuned out his speech, only catching the part about the exams being a replacement for war. When the old monkey finished speaking the sickly looking jounin stepped forward, hacking like there was no tomorrow.
"Since too many of you made it through the second exam, we're having elimination rounds to narrow it down," said the man between fits of coughing, "My name is Hayate and I'll be the proctor for this exam," he coughed.
Naruto just cocked an eyebrow at the man. Why would they let a ninja in his state of health proctor anything, much less be an active shinobi? Now that the grey headed boy thought about it, if you ever wanted to find undercover Konoha shinobi, it wouldn't be that hard. Just look for red-eyed ice queens, one eyed perverts, green spandex wearing fitness nuts, and demonic genin. The demon boy chuckled slightly at that thought, only now noticing that the kid Kabuto had dropped out and everyone was looking at some giant electronic screen that had names flashing across it.
The first two names to pop on it were none other than Sasuke Uchiha and some genin from Konoha that Naruto had never seen before, then again, the face mask and sunglasses made it hard for him to actually see his face. Since there was nothing better to do, the shirtless boy decided to watch the show.
The two Konoha genin glared at each other, sizing the other up and waiting for the call to fight. Hayate glanced at each of them, a slight smirk tugging at his lips before he stated, "Fight," and jumped out of the way.
Immediately Sasuke began doing handseals for a fireball jutsu, a smirk tugging at his lips, but then a searing pain came from his shoulder, causing the Uchiha to gasp out in pain and clutch at his neck instinctively, completely abandoning his jutsu. The other genin hesitated for a second, confused, but then decided to take the advantage.
Charging towards the Uchiha, the other genin made for a grab at the boy. Seeing the oncoming enemy, Sasuke tried to get around him but the sunglasses wearing ninja grabbed Sasuke's arm and pivoted so he was behind Sasuke, one hand holding the raven haired youth's arm behind his back whole the other latched onto his head.
Sasuke struggled but found that he was starting to weaken. Surprised, the boy concentrated and was surprised to find that his chakra was being drained! Hearing a chuckle Sasuke figured it out, this freak was eating his chakra! Immediately Sasuke desperately tried to break free with renewed fervor, but the other genin had positioned himself so that his own legs had locked Sasuke's legs and he was leaned far enough back that Sasuke's free hand couldn't reach him.
"Give up rookie," chuckled the boy, "Unless you want to become a crumpled husk, give up now," Sasuke just ignored him and continued to try and break free. The masked ninja just shrugged, "More food for me then," he chuckled.
Sasuke couldn't believe this! He was going to be killed not in some blaze of glory after destroying his brother and restoring his clan but by having his chakra sucked out by some faceless loser whose name the author didn't even bother to write! This wasn't how it was supposed to end! He still hadn't killed his brother! As he continued struggling, the no name genin was surprised when he felt a sudden surge in chakra, then, he recoiled ith a cry of pain as flame like marks started to spread from Sasuke's curse mark.
Naruto blinked as he registered what just happened. 'Did that hickey just expel youki into the teme and leech?' Naruto thought with surprise. Frowning the demon wondered just what the mark did and how it worked, because whatever it wasn't, it sure as hell wasn't human. And if Sasuke's current grimaces of pain were anything to go by, then it was quite obvious that this "gift" was anything but, at least, at the moment.
Sasuke gritted his teeth in both in exhilaration of power and against the pain in his body. It felt like his blood was boiling but at the same time like he couldn't be defeated! Though why was it hurting now and it hadn't hurt initially? Well technically, the process of getting it on there was excruciatingly painful so that was probably the trade off. Either way, Sasuke had a surge of inspiration to defeat his opponent.
Dashing forward with newfound speed, Sasuke launched his opponent into the air with a kick to the chin, followed with several more kicks up and several punches so his opponent was now parallel with the ground. "From here its all original!" proclaimed the Uchiha with a straight punch to the genin's abdomen, causing him to slam into the ground. Groaning, the leech thought it was over, that was until Sasuke came down with an axe kick to his stomach and a cry of "Lion's barrage!"
The defeated genin just grunted before blacking out. The curse mark receded and Sasuke was declared the winner and not even two seconds later Kakashi grabbed Sasuke and vanished while Kyuubi appeared along with the familiars next to Naruto. This of course drew the attention of Sakura who yelled, "WHO THE HECK ARE YOU GUYS!" which drew everyone's attention and made the familiars, Naruto and Kyuubi wince in annoyance.
"Damnit woman! Where the hell is your fucking mute button?" roared an enraged Senso, "We're five freakin feet away there is no need to yell like a howler monkey that has been anally raped by a fucking icicle!" he shouted earning some snorts of amusement from some people and looks of complete shock at this kid's mouth. Sakura however was surprised; she'd only known one person to ever talk to her like that before, but that was Naruto's clone!
"Before you all start asking who we are, allow me to explain," stated Chie in a clipped tone, "We are the familiars of Naruto Uzumaki, meaning we are his personal summons, while the woman is an invited guest of the hokage," everyone turned to the hokage for confirmation and saw the old man just give a nod. With that, mostly everyone let it be and started the next match that was Shino versus the sound genin Zaku, who had an arm in a sling. Sakura however, had questions.
"How the hell are you familiars? Last I checked you were clones," Sakura demanded. Senso just snorted and turned away from the girl, completely disinterested in the girl. Kuro had fallen asleep standing up while Naruto and Kyuubi were busy flirting with each other while Chie gave a perverted cackle and wrote down the banter of the two demons. Ko, however, decided to answer here.
"Well to be honest we're not exactly sure but somewhere along the line we ceased being simple shadow clones due to the fact that Naruto continually summons us specifically," answered the blonde happily.
Sakura blinked at that. "Ok but how come he continually summons you four? I mean, aren't the chances of him summoning you four every time like a hundred to one?" she asked. Sakura figured that even if it was possible to summon specific clones, they all looked the same with only a difference in dominant personality, therefore impossible to single out one out of hundreds due to the fact that they were perfect replicas of the original.
Ko laughed a bit at that, not a mocking one but a simply amused one, "Chie and Kuro actually studied up on that and made the theory that so long as the emotion your feeling is dominant in you, that specific clone will appear," he replied.
Sakura nodded at that before frowning again. "But how can Naruto feel anger, laziness, seriousness and happiness at the same time?" asked the girl in a confused manner.
Ko laughed again, "It's because he's insane of course! Also you're not fully accurate with the emotions that we represent," Ko stated with a small smile, "Senso is Naruto's rage and desire to kill, Chie is Naruto's calm and logic while Kuro is Naruto's apathy," Ko explained. "If you have ever met another insane person, and I mean legitimately insane person, you'd know for a fact that they can swing from emotion to emotion in the blink of an eye,"
Sakura frowned at that, in a way, it did make sense but there was still one more thing she wanted to know, "So what emotion do you represent then?" she questioned.
Before Ko answered there was a loud scream of pain from the stadium causing everyone to stare at the chakra burn covered arms of Zaku. Shino had apparently plugged up both of the sound ninja's holes that allowed him to use his wind attack with bugs.
When Zaku tried to use his attack, all the built up and blocked chakra exploded quite violently out of his tenketsu points. As Zaku fell to the ground unconscious, Naruto burst into laughter at the Oto nin's pain, closely followed by Senso. Kyuubi, and Ko.
Naruto's and Kyuubi's laugh was mocking and filled with amusement. Senso's was a dark chuckle, clearly enjoying Zaku's pain while Ko's… Ko's laughter unnerved Sakura the most because it sounded like the innocent laughter of children at play, one filled with happiness. Once done laughing Ko turned to Sakura and just smiled. "I represent Naruto's curiosity and childishness of course!" he said happily, causing Sakura to take on a pale look. "By the way, is your hair naturally pink or is it dyed? Cause in all honesty if its dyed, why?"
Sakura blinked before growing angry, however before she could retaliate, the proctor spoke up.
"Will Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka please come to the arena?" asked the man with a particularly violent cough. The two girls entered the arena and glared at each other. Hayate glanced at both of them before asking, "Are both contestants ready?" Sakura nodded, while Ino just gave a small hmph of affirmation. "Fight," declared the proctor before leaping out of the way.
Immediately, the two leapt into action and faced off in taijutsu that in all honesty, was a complete embarrassment to ninja everywhere. Granted, it was definitely better than academy level but that didn't change the fact that those two would already have been killed if they had engaged anyone who already had combat training. Senso's eyebrow twitched as he watched the fight, "If they don't stop soon, I'm going to murder them," he said in an annoyed voice. After he finished he sighed in relief when the two broke apart from each other. "Good, now the name of hand to hand combat won't be shamed any more," stated the war like man in a happy voice, only to once again start twitching as the girls charged at each other once more, both fists cocked back in preparation for a strike.
"Hmm, looks like they're going for taijutsu again," commented Chie, fan in front of his face while the other rested on the head of a cane. "You know, I don't think I've ever seen worse hand to hand combat, I swear, several grand masters must be turning in their graves right now," said the familiar. That was when Senso snapped.
"GOD DAMN IT!" he roared, flooding the area with killing intent and an overwhelming surge of primal rage. Distracted by the sudden outburst, Sakura and Ino turned to look at the warrior. At the same time, both girls launched their attacks at each other and simultaneously smashed their fists into each other's face. Needless to say, both of the pathetic kunochi were knocked out cold. Everybody just stared at the scene, not fully comprehending what just happened until four voices burst into laughter. Surprised, everyone turned to see Kyuubi, Naruto and, surprisingly, Anko, all laughing hysterically at the sight while off to the side, Senso was frothing at the mouth at such a pathetic battle.
"O h dear Kami that was too funny!" Anko gasped out, leaning heavily against Naruto's left while Kyuubi could only nod in agreement, laughing too hard to say anything as she leaned against Naruto's right. The boy himself had just settled into slight chuckles as he watched the medics take the two fan girls away. Once again, the board flashed through names before it landed on a VERY interesting pair.
"Will both Hinata and Neji Hyuuga please enter the arena," asked the proctor. Without missing a beat. Both Hyuugas appeared, one with a glare and his arms at his sides while the other had her hands in her jacket pockets and a look of annoyance and air of superiority on her. "Begin," stated the jounin, already able to see that the two were ready to fight.
"Hinata-sama give up now, you are good but you have no chance of defeating me," Neji stated in a cold tone.
"And why is that?" Hinata asked coolly, a slight smirk tugging at her lips.
Neji just smirked, "Because you can't change fate. You were born weak while I was born a prodigy. No matter what you do, I'll always be better than you," he announced confidently. However his look of confidence turned to one of anger when he saw his cousin start to laugh quietly at him. "What do you find so funny?" he demanded.
Hinata just gave a malicious smirk as she held her hands in horrifyingly familiar hand sign to every branch member. Slowly, Hinata started to pour chakra into the seal and Neji began screaming in pain, his hands clutching at his forehead as he continued to howl in agony. "I find it funny that you as a branch member believe you can beat me when you have that seal on your head," she said as she stopped using her chakra. The pain subsided, leaving Neji on his hands and knees gasping for breath, "Now you can either give up or I can kill you, completely up to you," Hinata said nonchalantly. Neji just glared at her, defiance ad hatred burning in his eyes. Hinata just shrugged and made the handseal again, sending Neji into another agonized fit of screams. "Give up or die, either way I win," Hinata stated in a superior voice over the loud screams of her cousin.
Up in the walkway, Naruto's group was frowning at the fight, if it could even be called that and none were more so pissed at the fight then Kyuubi and Anko, both who had been subjugated to seals very similar to the branch family's mark.
"I'm going to kill that little bitch," Anko growled. Kyuubi nodded in agreement, "I say we put the seal on her and see how she takes it," Kyuubi stated coldly.
"Fucking coward," muttered Senso angrily as he gripped the iron railings, which in turn started to crush them from the war like man's grip which somewhat surprised Chie.
"Why are you mad Senso? I realize that it is a rather despicable way to win but it's an advantage for the right person to exploit, which could mean life or death in combat," he inquired. Senso rounded on him and gave his logical brother a very frigid glare.
"That seal wasn't placed on him during combat or out of punishment for some past sin, nor is it a training seal used for pain endurance. That seal," he spat the word, "is nothing more than a device used so those god damned Hyuuga assholes in the main branch can have their very own slaves, nothing more than drones who will do whatever they're masters ask so they don't have to feel the agony that mark will undoubtedly give them," Senso explained.
Chie blinked at that. "True, but that doesn't explain why you're so angry Senso," he said.
Senso snorted and turned back to the arena before responding, "Nobody deserves a mark that damns their lives, not when they have no choice in the matter," he whispered angrily. That was when it clicked in Chie's mind. Glancing between Naruto and Senso, the logical and perverted clone realized that both of them hated that mark because it reminded them of that seal that was placed on the original.
After the second time Hinata had activated the mark, Neji had quickly submitted making Hinata the winner. The next match was between a Suna ninja named Kankuro who wore some kind of cat jump suit and had a bandage wrapped thing on his back that had some brown hair sticking out of the top that actually turned out to be a puppet. His opponent had been some masked Konoha ninja similar to the one Sasuke had fought but this one had round simple glasses and super stretchy rubbery arms. The match had ended with Kankuro using his puppet to capture his opponent. Needless to say, it was a pretty straightforward fight. The same could be said for when Shikamaru versus that sound girl, Kin, where the lazy genius won by having the girl smash her head into the wall. Then Dosu vs. Chouji, where Dosu won by knocking out the Akamichi with that weird arm of his. However this next match was of particular interest to Naruto's group.
"Will Tamari no Sabaku and Tenten please enter the arena?" asked the proctor in a bored manner, coughing slightly. Both kunochi entered the arena with determined looks on their faces.
"Good luck Tenten-nee!" Ko cheered excitedly while the rest of the group gave encouraging smiles or cheers of confidence. Tenten inwardly smiled at that, it was nice to be cheered on, especially from people she considered family and vice versa.
"Are both teams ready?" asked Hayate. Both girls nodded and the proctor began the match before leaping away to safety. Immediately, Tenten leaped back and launched a barrage of twenty kunai at her opponent. As soon as the weapons left her hands, the bun haired girl flashed through handsigns at blinding speeds before shouting "Kage Kunai no Jutsu!" The twenty kunai then tripled in number, creating a veritable wall of kunai. It was fairly obvious that the Konoha genin was going straight for the kill. However, a sudden burst of wind sent the weapons flying off course, revealing Temari with her fan at her side and a single blue moon showing on it.
"When you see all three moons, this match will be over," she declared in an arrogant voice. Tenten just narrowed her eyes and made a familiar hand sign, one that had Naruto grinning in pride. "Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" declared the genin. Immediately, two other Tentens appeared next to the original and dashed off, one to the right and the other to the left. Soon, the three bun haired ninja had surrounded Temari and quickly let loose a barrage of shuriken and kunai, confident that they could either force their opponent into the air or easily take her out. Imagine their surprise when Temari did a complete three sixty spin, once again knocking the weapons off course and revealing another blue circle on her fan, only this time there was more force behind the attack causing the clones to dispel and the original to get a few cuts on her from the sharp wind chakra being expelled.
Up in the walkways, Anko was looking at the fight with pity. 'She's done, it was just bad luck that she got paired up with a wind user' thought the snake mistress. 'Still, it was a good idea to try and surround her but this Suna chick is WAAAY more experienced'
"You really shouldn't sell Tenten-neechan short Anko-chan," Kyuubi said to the snake mistress. Anko was surprised and turned to the demon, her eyes easily betraying her confusion.
"How so Vixen-chan?" asked the purple haired woman. In the short time that they had known each other, both women had become friends very easily and quickly. "Don't get me wrong, the girl is good but the Blondie does have a couple years over her," Anko replied.
Kyuubi just chuckled in amusement. "She trained with Naruto," was the demon's only response. Anko blinked once, then a grin came to her face as she turned back to the fight. "That changes things," she said with a happy chirp.
Tenten narrowed her eyes as she avoided a blast from Temari's fan. The bun haired girl had given up on trying to nail the wind user with thrown weapons and was instead trying to close in on her. However, the Suna girl would just flick her wrist and send burst after burst of wind at her to keep her away. It was painfully obvious that Temari was playing with Tenten.
'Come on Tenten think! There has to be something you can do!' she berated herself mentally. Growling, the kunochi dodged another attack. 'Think! Using the Twin rising dragon won't work cause she'll just blow the weapons away with that damn fan of hers! Suddenly the girl's eyes widened in realization before a very Naruto like idea entered her mind. 'Hope your watching nii-san' thought Tenten with a smirk. Quickly Tenten threw another barrage of weapons at Temari and as soon as they left her hands Tenten did some hand seals, once again multiplying the number of projectiles by three, making it impossible for the Suna kunochi to see her.
"This again? I think it's time I just ended this!" announced Temari. With that, the blonde girl swung her fan again, this time opening it fully. To her surprise though, when the wall of death cleared she couldn't see Tenten anywhere. "Where the hell did she go?" asked the girl in angry confusion.
"Over here desert bitch!" shouted a voice. Temari whirled around, an evil glint in her eye as she faced Tenten, but that anger was soon mixed with surprise and confusion when she saw what Tenten had in her possession.
Strapped to her back were two steel tanks that had small tubes wrapped in metal emerging from the bottom until they connected with two gun shaped objects that Tenten held in her hands. Instead of a trigger was a lever jus in front of the handle while at the tip was a narrowed muzzle with a small flame burning right in front of it. Around the Leaf genin's eyes was a pair of wrap around ruby tinted sunglasses, and Temari was unnerved by the malicious glint she could see in Tenten's eyes.
"Well she's screwed," Naruto stated with a happy smile. The familiars and Kyuubi nodded in agreement. Anko was about to ask when Naruto just held up a hand before pointing towards the arena clearly saying 'You'll see what I mean if you watch what happens' so with a curious look, Anko watched to see what Tenten would do with that new device.
"What the hell is that?" Temari demanded. Tenten just smirked at the girl before standing ramrod straight and her right hand, still clutching the nozzle, on her forehead in a salute position.
"To the bitch who is about to get her sandy pussy handed to her, I give you my special salute!" Tenten proclaimed and she soon followed the declaration by flipping the Suna ninja off with both hands and sticking her tongue out at her. There was silence before Naruto's group erupted into howls of laughter while Temari turned red with rage.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" she roared, and with that, Temari surrounded herself in a whirlwind with her fan, positive that Tenten would be caught within it. However, she really didn't account that Tenten was a good ten feet away from the attack, then again, arrogance makes people blind, and even more blind when combined with fury. Which is exactly what Tenten wanted.
"Time to fry!" shouted the bun haired girl, and with that, Tenten pointed the objects in her hands at the tornado and squeezed the levers, which in turn revealed exactly what the strange weapon was that the girl had. Tenten was wielding a flamethrower.
Fire spewed from the gun like nozzles and screamed towards the wall of wind like bats straight out of hell. As soon as the fire made contact, the swirling wall of wind ignited and Temari screamed in pain as the heat seared at her skin, burning it raw and red. For five seconds there was nothing but a fiery whirlwind, for five seconds Temari endured the temperature of hell and for five seconds… A group of people watched it all with sadistic glee.
When the fire finally vanished, it revealed an unconscious and extremely burnt Temari, most of her clothing gone due to the fire while her skin was an angry red. It was obvious that Tenten had won and the medics quickly removed the burn victim from the area. It would take at least a couple weeks before Temari could move again.
"Now that's a fight!" roared Senso in approval while Ko, who was sitting on Senso's shoulder, clapped his hands in joy. Chie was applauding lightly while Kuro had a smirk on his face. Naruto, Anko and Kyuubi were all applauding while shouting for an encore. Tenten just grinned at them and gave a bow before going up to join them. Everyone else however, moved a little farther away from them, even the red head from Suna was a little nervous at what he had just seen.
Hayate sighed as he watched the names flash across the board. 'For the love of Kami can this just be over already?' he grumbled mentally. Finally the board stopped flashing through names and Hayate called out the next two fighters. "Will Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka please come to the arena," ordered the jounin with a ragged cough. Kiba gave a whoop of joy and leaped into the arena, his dog right behind him. Naruto gave a sadistic grin and leapt into the arena as well, landing with a small thud in front of his doglike opponent. The two eyed each other, one with a feral smirk and the other with a sadistic grin. Hayate sighed before saying begin, then leapt out of the way with a cough.
Immediately Kiba busted out his family jutsus. "All fours jutsu!" he announced before crouching on the floor like some animal, his hands turned into claws while his teeth had elongated. The he made a hand sign and said, "Man beast clone!" which turned Akamaru from a cute little puppy into an exact duplicate of Kiba. "Get ready for pain!" Kiba announced arrogantly, "Lets go Akamaru, GATSUUGA!" and with that, both Kibas began to spin at high speeds, till they became twin drills that launched themselves at the demon boy.
Naruto just laughed as he jumped over the incoming attack before landing with a red cape over one arm and himself in a very absurd costume. "Ole!" cried the genin, confusing the hell out of almost everyone. Kiba turned and stared at him in confusion as the grey-headed boy held the cape to his side and started to say "Toro! Toro!" Kiba frowned as he had the distinct felling he was being insulted. Growling, the dog boy used his attack once more, only to be met with the same results. With a flourish of the cape, Naruto dodged the drill and yelled "Ole!" once more, his matador costume somehow glinting in the sun.
"Bravo senior Uzumaki!" proclaimed Anko and Kyuubi, now dressed in Italian red dresses and wearing ruby red lipstick. They tossed some roses towards the boy and he caught one in his teeth, a goofy smile on his face and his eyebrows in a very suave position. This pissed Kiba off to no end and with a roar he didhis attack again, only this time he had Akamaru come from one direction and he from the other.
As the two came screaming towards him, Naruto remained oblivious and when he finally acknowledged the drills, it was too late. The attacks connected with their target and Naruto was ripped to shreds! Blood, body parts and organs went flying everywhere and Kiba and Akamaru got drenched in the red liquid of their opponent. Some people gasped in horror while the familiars, Tenten, Anko and Kyuubi all gave a cry of grief and shock. With a small thud Naruto's head landed in front of a very shocked Kiba.
"I… killed… him," Kiba whispered disbelievingly. He knew that as a ninja he was supposed to kill but this… this wasn't what he had expected! He had expected his first kill to be against some powerful enemy or when he was defending something precious to him like his family or home, not a fellow Konoha shinobi in some sick exam! He felt sick, he felt like his entire world was spinning out of control and-
"Awww! Why did you have to go and kill me?" whined a familiar voice. Shocked, everybody snapped their heads up to see Naruto standing on the ceiling, a pout on his face and his arms crossed. Naruto's group gave a happy whoop that he was alive and laughed at the faces everyone was wearing as they just gawked at the boy.
"B-but how are you-" stuttered Kiba only to be cut off as Naruto snorted and snapped his fingers. Immediately, the head on the ground that looked like Naruto poofed and when the smoke disappeared, revealed the head of one of the Ame ninja that Naruto had killed in the forest.
"Nothing like a quick substitution with a carcass to catch your enemies off guard!" laughed Naruto. "Which reminds me," Naruto then did a quick handsign and replaced himself with Kiba. Before Akamaru could react, Naruto had sent a vicious backhand to the transformed dog, causing the pup to revert back to his regular form while the demon did another hand sign. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" he declared, and then four clones appeared in the arena.
All four of them went after Akamaru, doing a henge as they went. One turned into a strange yellow metal structure that looked like a square Y while two more changed into blue and white uniforms with a ton of padding and giant helmets while the last one had a black and white striped shirt with a whistle, white pants and a black baseball hat.
One of the padded clones grabbed Akamaru and set him on the ground while the other came running and punt kicked the dog through the strange Y while the last blew his whistle, arms straight up in the air as he followed it with a loud "AND ITS GOOD!"
All of this happened before Kiba crashed back into the ground and before he could recover, a hysterically laughing Naruto kicked him over. The lat thin Kiba saw before unconsciousness, was yellow kanji for the word pathetic.
"And that's how we get down in a hick town!" declared the insane genin before he strutted back to the walkway to his laughing friends. Now everybody had moved to the other side of the arena and was giving that group very wary, and very terrified looks. Gaara included. Then the next match began. "Will Gaara no Sabaku and Rock Lee please come to the arena," said the coughing voice.
A/N: Yeah I'm tired of writing fight scenes and this fight went exactly the same as it did in canon sooo… Long story short, Lee lost, arm and leg shattered. Gaara won, hoop dee fucking doo.
"Will all the winning participants please come down and receive a number," Hayate ordered. The genin all approached him as the jounin handed out some pieces of paper. "Please say your number out loud one at a time," coughed the proctor.
"Two," Hinata stated haughtily.
"Four," Sasuke stated in a monotone.
"Three," Gaara rasped.
"Nine," Shikamaru drawled lazily.
"Five," Kankuro said.
"Eight' called out Tenten
"Six," Shino stated.
"Seven," Dosu replied.
"One," Naruto declared with a dark chuckle as he sent a glance towards Hinata.
Hayate nodded as he wrote something down and the board behind him changed. "Here is the first order of matches for the finals," stated the man as he pointed towards the electronic screen. On it appeared the fights as followed.
First round: Naruto Uzumaki vs. Hinata Hyuuga
Second round: Gaara no Sabaku vs. Sasuke Uchiha
Third round: Kankuro vs. Shino
Fourth round: Dosu vs. Tenten
Fifth round: Shikamaru Nara vs. winner of round four
Sarutobi Hiruzen then appeared before everyone and began to speak, "You all have one month to train before the finals, then you must be at the stadium at 11:30, no sooner, no later. Congratulations and good luck to all of you," as soon as he finished, the old Hokage vanished once more and the finalists all left to prepare for their up and coming battles.
As Naruto mounted the steps towards his group a wicked smile appeared on his face. 'And here we go' he thought slowly and with a mental cackle.
A/N: YATTA! Done! Wow this is one of the longest chapters I've done yet! Sorry it took so long but, well, such is life! Anyway I want to thank the god that is Tsukune08 for the lemon he has written and I ask, no beg, NO, DEMAND! That you go check out some of his stories! It is the least we could do for him after giving us such a gift! Also, for those of you who haven't read it yet, go check out Why so Serious by Kyu15. It's kind of based off my story but you'll see some major differences as you go along. Besides, they say mimicry is the ultimate form of flattery and I like it. Anyway, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Cuanza, Happy Ramadan and Happy New Year to all! If I missed any then HAPPY FREAKING HOLIDAYS! WOOOOHOO!
