Author's Note: I gave Naruto too much credit in taijutsu…
Chapter 19
Naruto ran down the steps as fast as you can say Konohagakure and tripped once or twice. Once he made it to the bottom he already had bruises. "Naruto!! How can you have scratches on you if you didn't even fight yet!!!" Ino yelled. Naruto's eye twitched and mumbled, "I tripped." Then he walked towards Genma and Temari, who was already there. Temari smirked, "Heh, I have to fight you?!" Naruto frowned, "What's that suppose to mean?" Temari leaned forward, "Your gonna loose." Naruto restrained himself from beating her up before the battle actually started. Genma looked at both contestants, "Are both of you ready?" Temari nodded and Naruto just growled and looked at Temari. Genma nodded. "Begin!"
Temari immediately got her fan out and sent out a harsh gust of wind towards Naruto. Naruto placed both his arms in front of him so the wind won't go into his face and started moving forward, one foot at a time. "COME ON NARUTO!!!" Misa yelled. Nozomi whacked her in the back of the head to make her be quiet. With his arms still in front of his face, he tried to do the hand seals quickly yelled out then said, "Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" and four other Naruto appeared. "The Shadow Clone Jutsu," –said one of the Jounin in front of Nozomi and Misa. "A Jounin level technique." That had caught up Nozomi off guard. 'No matter how gulliable and stupid he is, he mastered a Jounin technique.' "That doesn't surprise me, considering how much chakra he has inside of him." The other Jounin said. –Kit, the Jounin is right!- 'Huh? Nibi, lend me your eyesight for a moment again please?' When she did, Nozomi looked at Naruto's stomach, showing the chakra routes and the chakra. 'Come on Nibi, make it sharper!' –Kit, I'm trying to as best as I can but something is trying to dull it- The Nozomi noticed it, the orange chakra in Naruto formed a head that looked like a Demon Fox. The nibi growled, -Oh let me get that good for nothing…-
'So you know this demon?' –Yes, in away all the demons in this world are like brothers and sister, considering me the only girl though- 'And you have a grudge against the?' -Kyuubi and yes, it goes way back- Nozomi's vision went back to normal. "This should be interesting…." Naruto, or one of his clones had successfully knocked Temari to the side and now the rest were coming after Temari, while yelling out, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" There was 21 Naruto's in all. One clone punched Temari, but it was just a clone and Temari hit the clone with her fan on the head. "HEY!" The other 20 clones said. They came towards her all over. Temari moved her fan as fast as she could to hit the incoming clones. There was five left but one stole away her fan and stood back for the rest of the clones to pack in a punch. Temari groaned and she did a back kick, add in with a spinning kick. All but one disappeared. "Kage bunshin no jutsu!" Four appeared where the Naruto holding the fan was. Four ran up to Temari from all sides and did an upperkick, making Temari go into the air. "Uz-" One of the clones cupped their hands so another could be tossed in the air and kicked her higher. "a-" Then with one final blow from the real Naruto kicked her in face, "maki!" Causing Temari to fall to the ground.
Genma looked at Temari, who was lying on the ground. But it was just a clone, it disappeared. "Huh?!" The fan that Naruto was holding turned into Temari who kicked him in the back of the head and it disappeared. The other clones looked at where the poof was but they didn't see their clone comrade or the fan anywhere. The Narutos look everywhere for Temari, but they all kept on hearing poofs and less of their comrades. Before anyone knew it, it was all windy, then Naruto finally noticed. He looked up in one of the trees and saw Temari, smirking. "Your not bad after all Naruto. Let's finish this battle once and for all." She tossed her fan away and jumped down. Naruto and Temari faced each other in a hand-to-hand, Taijutsu battle. Temari did an upper kick but Naruto grabbed her foot and made Temari spin around but she took the opportunity to do a spinning kick. That caught Naruto off guard and it sent him to the wall.
"OH YEAH!!! GO NARUTO!!" Kiba yelled, Akamaru barked.
Temari started panting. 'How can he…..be not tired?' Naruto struggled up and still ran towards Temari, about to punch her. Temari summoned what's left of her chakra and also ran towards Naruto. Naruto landed a punch on her but ducked and did a low spinning kick, causing Temari to trip and fall to the ground. Naruto stood up weakily, covered in bruises and looked at Temari. 'I can't move!' Temari thought. "It's all over." Kankuro sighed. Genma looked at Temari to confirm she was down. "The winner of this round is, Naruto Uzamaki!! Medics…" The crowd was silent at first, but after Kiba's, Misa's, and even Ino's cheer, everyone started clapping and cheering. Naruto started running around, grinning, soaking in new confidence. 'They finally noticed me…'
Nozomi lurched forward and was now sitting her knees, covering her stomach. "Nozomi!!" Misa yelled. 'Nibi, wait, I know our battle is next but you have to wait we can't just let yourself prowl out like this.' –I can't help it kit, our battle is gonna be some hell of a battle- Nozomi got up, one hand covering her stomach and she made it down to the arena. "Nozomi…" Misa whispered.
"And for the final battle, Nozomi verses Gaara of the Desert."
The crowd went silent.
