Goku,Vegeta and all shinobi present were waiting to see which of the Genin would make the first move.
'Things are about to pick up'Naruto thought as he watched Lee bring his hands above his head.
"Kyumon Kai" Everyone felt Lee's power once again shoot up while the aura of the Celestial Gates grew in size."Seimon Kai" Kakashi's visible eye widened as Lee's power shot past his young student's level and he couldn't believe Lee was able to open three of the Celestial Gates.
"It gets better"Lee said with gritted teeth."Shomon Kai" The ground began to break apart due to the sheer magnitude of Lee's power. Lee's already red skin kept getting darker and a strong wind blew through the arena, making Naruto stagger back before regaining his footing.
"Tomon Kai!"Lee screamed, his power far surpassed Naruto's and it only kept increasing. Lee gritted his teeth as the Celestial Gates were already punishing his body greatly.
"Looks like I have no choice, sorry Goku sensei but Im going to take it to the next level"Naruto said while clentching his fists and drawed for more power. Steam once again rolled off Naruto's body in waves and the ground underneath the Jinchuriki split apart and pebbles began to rise from the earth.
"Kaioken Times Two!"Goku's eyes widened seeing Naruto push the Kaioken to the next level. Naruto knew he couldn't take it to the next level of the Kaioken or his body would give out. It was a terrible fact but it was true.
"The only chance I have if I want to get close to Bushy Brow's strength is I have to draw on the Fox's chakra"Naruto mutttered while putting his hands in the ram seal before closing his eyes.
'Fox I need some power, its time to pay up rent dammit'Naruto thought while he heard the evil chuckle of his prisoner. He could almost feel the cold breath of the Nine Tails on his neck.
"You have guts to demand anything from me you foolish human flesh bag"The Kyuubi snarled hatefully."But fine, here take some of my power and finish off our opponent" Naruto felt the Fox fill his systems full of its foul chakra.
On the outside everyone felt the increase of evil in the air. Goku's eyes narrowed as he guessed his student must be drawing from the Nine Tail's power. Naruto's Kaioken aura began to bubble and start to expand as it mixed with the Bijuu's chakra. Naruto's whisker marks darked while his once blue eyes were now a dark crimson with a slit for the pupil. The Kaioken began to form a cloak around the young Genin while a tail seemed to manifest behind him. Naruto's nail's grew while his canines sharpened to a very sharp point. Naruto wouldn't admit it outloud but he enjoyed the rush of the Fox's chakra as it mixed with the Kaioken technique.
On the other side of the arena, Lee watched his opponent's transformation and couldn't help but began to feel worried. He thought he was hallucinating, he could have sworn he seen a large Fox with Nine Tails standing behind Naruto with an evil grin. Naruto flexed his claws before his eyes shifted over to Lee.
"Lets go Bushy Brows"Naruto smirked revealing his new sharpened fangs too all present. He cracked his knuckles while Lee inwardly let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. The evil feeling had disappeared but Naruto's power had increased greatly.

"What happened to Naruto?"Sakura asked while alot of others who didn't know the blond's secret was curious as well. Vegeta looked over to Kakarott for answers but the Saiyan prince noticed Goku's gaze was upon the battle below. Kakashi and Gai felt that power and knew it almost better than anyone. Naruto had drawled on the power that almost destroied the village of Konoha many years ago.
"Im sorry Sakura but we can't tell you"Kakashi said while Sakura raised an eyebrow towards her sensei.
"Why not Kakashi sensei?"
"Because its an S class secret punishable by death"Gai simply answered while Sakura and Sasuke were now more curious than ever about the power of their teammate. A strong force of wind ripped through the stadium and a huge explosion erupted in the middle of the arena.
The cause of the explosion was both Naruto and Lee as their fist's had connected in a strong stale mate. Both trying to force dominance over the other with strength alone. Lee could feel a burning feeling on his knuckles as it seemed Naruto's cloak covered fist was trying to tear the flesh from the bone. Lee jumped up and planted both feet on the Jinchuriki's chest before pushing off with great force. It only made Naruto stumble back greatly as Lee landed a few feet from him. Naruto drew his cloak covered arm back before throwing it forward. To everyone's amazement, a giant crimson claw of chakra shot off Naruto's arm and headed towards Lee with great speed. Snapping out of his daze, Lee ran on the side of the wall and Naruto simply turned his arm in the direction that Lee was running. Lee could almost smell the wall as it was being burnt alive by the strange chakra claw. Building up the strength in his legs, Lee jumped off the wall before fazing out of sight in a burst of speed. Naruto's eyes widened but he couldn't retract his arm before Lee appeared infront of him and he recieved a harsh fist to the jaw.
Lee did a fast round house kick that rattled Naruto's skull and launched him off his feet. Naruto couldn't stop himself this time as he crashed into the wall of the stadium, rubble fell on his body. Moments passed slowly while everyone waited for Naruto to make his way out of the hole. Lee couldn't see the body of his opponent but he knew the blond wasn't finished yet, all that power release only for it to end like that. Before Lee could dive into his thoughts about his opponents next move, he felt a hot feeling on his leg. He looked down to see the claw of chakra from before gripped tightly around his ankle. He wanted to scream in pain as the chakra only seemed to get hotter but he only gritted his teeth. Deep within the hole, Naruto commanded the arm to lift Lee in the air before slamming Lee against the bottom of the Kage booth. Lee smacked a wall hard before he felt a great pull and found himself flying towards the pile of rubble where Naruto was buried. The rubble exploded creating a cloud of dirt and dust, obscuring the audience's view of Naruto. But even with the thick cloud, everyone could see the crimson eyes of Naruto pierce it like a knife. Once Lee was close enough Naruto drew his right fist back before he planted it hard against Lee's cheek. Lee blasted off in the opposite direction and skipped off the arena floor like a stone. Naruto appeared before everyone, his gi top torn showing off the muscle he had gained from his month of training with Goku and Jiraiya.

"I must say Sarutobi Sama, Konoha has produced some amazing Genin this year"Orochimaru who was disguised as the Kazekage said.
"Yes both of them burn brightly with the Will Of Fire"Sarutobi commented back. He didn't approve of Naruto's use of the Kyuubi's chakra but it seemed like he had control over it. He would have to thank Jiraiya for teaching Naruto how to control the Bijuu's power.
"I agree they also show how strength alone is the only thing you need in a fight like this"Sarutobi almost stiffened as he heard the exact words his old student Orochimaru say many years ago. The old Hokage's gaze turned towards the Kazekage who was watching the battle with a certain look in his eyes that Sarutobi didn't like and found all too familiar.
'Reports say Orochimaru vanished because no search parties I sent could find him. What if we were not looking in the right places though' Sarutobi pulled out his pipe before he used a quick Kanton jutsu to light it. He let out a puff of tobacco while he would keep a close eye on the Kazekage.

Naruto used his chakra claw to push the tree over on the fallen form of Lee, hopping to end the battle as he began to feel the horrible after effects of not only using the Kaioken but the Kyuubi's power as well. He hadn't truely mastered the first form of his chakra cloak and it was beggining to take its toll on his body. Lee dashed out of the way of the falling tree as it fell into the wall and it collapsed underneath its weight.
"I must say Naruto kun, you almost had me there but I plan to win"Lee said while Naruto smiled at the determination that Lee had. It reminded Naruto of himself in his childhood as he worked hard and desperatly to get to where hes at today. Lee circled around Naruto in speeds so fast, a small dust cyclone started to form. Naruto found with the dust clouding his vision, he found no way to dodge as Lee appeared infront of him before hitting the blond hard in the jaw with his foot. Naruto flew high up in the air and everyone could see he looked like a crimson star as he kept going up. Lee jumped straight up after Naruto as his bandages wrapped around Naruto's body like a mummy.
"This match is mine Naruto kun, you proved to be an excellent opponent"Lee commented in his ear. He flipped over so they were heading straight for the ground. Naruto knew he could possibly die from an attack like this, he had to find a way to escape!
"Tatsumaki Renge" Naruto began to draw more of the Fox's chakra which started to burn through Lee's bandages. Lee noticed this and began to spin faster, hopping to reach the ground before Naruto could get free. Sadly for Lee, Naruto's chakra finally burnt through the last wrapping of the bandages and he used his cloak tail to slap Lee away from him. But Naruto couldn't stop his fall and finally collided with the earth. A shower of rock exploded into the air while Lee hit the base of the tree, actually going through it. Lee's body now full of cuts and splinters as he pulled himself up and forcefully dragged his body a few feet away from where Naruto's crater was. A dead silence hung through the arena.
Lee finally collapsed to his knees as his skin reverted back to normal and his pupils returned to his eyes which he closed seconds after. The silence still hung in the air as Naruto had yet to emerge from the crater.
"Oh no Naruto!"Shouted Sakura while Sasuke kept silent while on the inside he was actually worried for Naruto. The Uchiha would rather die before he admitted to anyone that he thought of Naruto as a brother. Goku kept silent through the whole thing. The dust finally cleared and Naruto's body layed out for everyone to see. His outfit was completly in shreds. Lee began to tear up with a completly horrified and guilty expression as his opponent still didn't move.
"Naruto kun...no you can't"Naruto's body went up in a collum of white smoke and vanished seconds after. The ground underneath Lee split open as Naruto came up from below and with as much strength as he could give. Naruto crashed his fist into Lee's jaw which caused him to spit up blood. Lee layed on the ground, knowing he couldn't move. Naruto stood over him panting hard and Lee even though with blurry vision, he noticed Naruto's eyes were once again blue.
"Now you better stay down Bushy Brows because thats all I have left"Naruto chuckled weakly. Blood dripped from his golden locks of hair slowly while he inwardly hissed at the cuts that were causing his body pain.
"I hate to sound unyouthful Naruto kun but with as many of the Celestial Gates I opened I could tell I was more powerful then you, so how did you win?"Lee asked
"Since you opened so many of those Gates it put more strain on your body then mine did. Also you were unaware of what my second little technique could do"Lee couldn't help but chuckle at the answer as he knew it was true. He didn't know that weird cloak thing could produce those chakra like arms or tail.
"You've won Naruto kun"the sound of snapping echoed through the arena as Lee yelled in horrible pain. He passed out only moments after.
Genma appeared onto the battle field and noticed the incredible damage the two Genin managed to make.
"Winner Naruto Uzukmai" Naruto felt the world of conciousness leave him as he passed out as well. In the back of his mind, the Kyuubi laughed darkly before closing its eyes, returning to its peaceful slumber.

An intermission followed after while a few shinobi used Doton jutsu's to fix the arena while a certain Anbu used a Mokuton jutsu to grow another tree. Goku and a now awakened Hinata visited Naruto as he resting in the hospital section of the stadium. The Hyuuga princess brought her crush a thing of flowers which sat in a blue vase only half-filled with water. Both noticed Naruto's eyes slowly blink open and he scanned the room for a moment before letting out a groan.
You could see Hinata's face light up with happiness as Naruto awakened.
"Naruto kun your awake!"Hinata gave Naruto a hug. Unnoticed to all, Naruto actually blushed a little at the display of affection from Hinata. Growing up all alone with no one to count on but yourself, he never knew what it was like to be given such care. The feelings were definatly new to him. After Naruto returned the hug and the two seperated, his eyes landed on Goku.
"Hey Goku sensei did you enjoy the match?"
"Sure did Naruto, you have grown really strong over the month and today I can say im honored to be called your sensei"Goku smiled while Naruto gave the Saiyan a thumbs up before he finally got out of bed.
"Wheres Sasuke and Sakura chan?"Naruto asked.
"Sasuke is about to compete in his fight against Gaara"Goku now frowned remembering his own battle with the crazy Sand nin. He knew he could have won with or without Vegeta but it would have been a whole lot more difficult."And Sakura is still in the arena about to cheer him on" Naruto was surprised on how little it hurt him that his pink haired crush didn't visit him in the hospital but he shrugged it off.
"Well Goku sensei, Hinata chan lets go cheer that damn bastard on!"Naruto said and grabbed Hinata's hand before racing out of the room. The Hyuuga girl blushed a deep red as Naruto held her hand. Once the two were out of sight, Goku let out a chuckle.
"Even Im not that dumb, its obvious Hinata san has feelings for Naruto"Goku chuckled before chasing after his blond student.

"Next match Uchiha Sasuke against Sabaku Gaara"Genma announced. Gaara didn't say a word as he appeared in the middle of the stadium in a swirl of sand.
"Do your best Sasuke kun!"Sakura said to her teammate who didn't respond. Sasuke leaped over the railing and landed with a small thud on the arena floor. Sasuke popped his neck muscles while his onyx eyes never left Gaara's harsh jade ones. The Shukaku Jinchuriki began to break out in a small laugh while thinking of the most gruesome possible ways he could kill his opponent with. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Gaara's laugh but didn't comment on it.
"Begin"Genma jumped up by the Kages booth. Sand began to rise out of Gaara's gord like multiple snakes. Gaara clutched his head in pain as he heared the voice of the Shukaku whisper in his ear to spill the Uchiha's blood. Sasuke hand quickly flashed towards his weapons pouch before he threw a few shuriken at Gaara. The sand caught the sharp projectiles before taking the shape of a sand duplicate. Sasuke dashed towards Gaara and the clone who shot a wave of sand at him. Sasuke leaped and dodged the oncoming sand attack before he decended onto his opponent. Sasuke's foot lashed out which completly split the clones hand. Sasuke used his hands to spin and push himself off the ground, once he was back on his feet Sasuke threw a back fist which hit the sand clone in the neck. The duplicate's eyes widened before a small smirk grew on its face. The sand on the clones neck traveled down Sasuke's wrist. Sasuke used his other hand and lashed out with a vicious palm strike that made the clone burst in a shower of sand. Sasuke jumped towards Gaara, ready to drill his fist into Suna's Jinchuriki's cheek. But Gaara's defense rose up and protected him once more, Sasuke smirked as he predicted somthing like that would happen. Twisting on his feet, Sasuke fazed out of sight.
Gaara's eyes widened seeing his opponent vanish in thin air, he turned around to see a fist rattle his face. Gaara was actually knocked off his feet due to the sheer force of the attack. Sasuke noticed the crack on Gaara's face but other then that didn't seem hurt at all.
"Is that all you've got"Sasuke taunted while Gaara's jade eyes glared at him. He shot a wave of sand at Sasuke who easily the attack before he kicked Gaara in the chest. Gaara was launched off his feet once more before his sand caught him. Sasuke began to pant as he channeled chakra into his eyes. His regular onyx eyes morphed into his clan's legendary bloodline, the Sharingan. Gaara pulled his way up to his feet while the whispers of his inner demon seemed to get louder by the second. Putting his hand into a seal, the sand formed a sort of dome around his body.
Sasuke noticed the dome fully encase his opponent so he did a couple of back hand springs before using his chakra to stick onto the stadium wall.
'What is that brat doing?"Vegeta thought as he sensed Sasuke gathering a whole lot of energy in his left palm. Vegeta's ears picked up on the sound that could only be described as a thousand birds chirpping. A ball of blue Raiton chakra formed on Sasuke's palm.

Gai's eyes widened seeing the move Sasuke was about to unleash and knew only one other person who could do that technique. He turned to his Eternal Rival with a scowl.
"Dammit Kakashi you taught Sasuke the Chidori of all things"Gai cursed while Kakashi glanced over to Gai with his single eye narrowed.
"Yes I knew how strong Gaara's sand defense's are and I needed Sasuke to be ready to pierce it by force if needed"Kakashi said while inside he was still guilty for teaching a Genin an A-ranked assassination jutsu.
Sasuke shot down the wall like a bullet before he charged towards Gaara ready to strike him down with his sensei's jutsu. Gaara focused his sand to shoot out jagged spikes to keep the Uchiha from reaching him. Sasuke was thankful for the Sharingan at the moment because he could see jagged spikes form out of the dome of sand and fly towards him. It was only thanks to his bloodline that he was able to dodge them. He thrusted the Chidori towards the sphere of sand and it cut through it like a knife would hot butter.
Inside Gaara felt a huge pain rip in his shoulder and opened his eyes to see Sasuke was able to break through not only his defense but his hand was lodged in his shoulder. Gaara's mind completly shattered as he began to scream in agony to all that could hear his crys.
"Its my blood, Im bleeding!"He shouted and Sasuke could feel the sand tighten on his wrist. Sasuke was able to slip his hand out of the dome while he felt the crimson liquid fall from his fingers. And lucky thing he managed to escape because a second later, spikes of harderned sand shot out which would have killed the Uchiha instantly.

Up in the Kage booth, The Hokage gave a silent signal to his Anbu telling them to leave. They were reluctant at first but when the Third gave them a stern gaze that demanded authority, the Anbu left. Orochimaru who was still in disguise as the Kazekage slipped a few canasters of smoke out from underneath his robes. He knew Gaara was about to lose complete control and it would be the perfect time to start the invasion.
"How long has it been Orochimaru?"Sarutobi asked calmly. Orochimaru who started silently used one handed gestures to signal the beginning of the invasion.
"I have no idea what your talking about Hokage sama, are you feeling well?"The snake Sannin said trying to keep up character.
"Dont fuck with me Orochimaru, you gave yourself away as soon as I heard you comment on Naruto and Lee's match"An evil chuckle by the Kazekage who pulled off his robes to reveal Orochimaru.
"It seems Ive underestimated you sensei, I would have thought years of leading this village have made you grown senile and foolish, oh well"Orochimaru quickly tossed the gas canasters out into the stadium.
Goku who was watching the battle below heard an explosion above him and looked to see the Kage booth go up in flames.
"Sarutobi san!"Goku shouted while he began to search for the old Hokage's energy signal. The Saiyan let out a sigh as he found Sarutobi on the roof and it seemed he was battleing someone. Goku focused his senseing and his eyes snapped open wide when he felt the familiar energy signal of Sarutobi's opponent. It was Orochimaru! Goku put two fingers to his head before he vanished from the stadium and reappeared on the roof next to the Hokage. Sarutobi had taken of his Hokage robes to reveal old battle armor underneath. The Third was a little surprised by the Saiyan's appearance.
"Goku kun what are you doing here?"Sarutobi asked, his eyes never leaving Orochimaru who was sneering in Goku's direction. Goku glared at the snake Sannin.
"I thought you could use some help Sarutobi san, after all Orochimaru isnt one to be taken lightly. I thought I finished him in the Forest Of Death with the Kamehameha but it seemed he survived. Let me correct my mistakes"Goku said while Orochimaru chuckled.
"Ahhh yes its good to see you too Goku kun, but im sorry to tell you this battle is about to get real interesting"Going through some hand seals, Orochimaru raised his palms and out of the ground came two wooden coffins with the Kanji for One and Two. A third coffin began to rise and Goku noticed Sarutobi's eyes widened.
"Goku kun we must stop that last coffin at all costs"Sarutobi said and Goku could hear just a tiny hint of worry in his voice. Goku nodded and Sarutobi put his palms together and focused on canceling out the last coffin. Goku shot out a couple of Ki blasts that connected with the coffin which stopped rising. The coffin started to slowly sink back into the roof before it completly vanished. Goku was able to catch the Kanji for Fourth on the coffin.
The Invasion has started.

I know this is a shitty place to stop this chapter but it must be done. I know this probably isnt my best work since I haven't had time to really focus on makeing it. Wrestling season has started so it might take awhile for chapters to be posted. I hope you like the chapter anyway. Also let me say Goku's Super Saiyan transformation will happen sometime during his fight with Orochimaru. So be expecting it either in the next chapter or the one after that.
