Yugi the Godfather of Games: THEKyuubi27, is Yakumo going to be a part of the pairings?
Me: Possibly, if she can somehow fit with the story-plot…
ShakePapa: Love the story, but one thing confuses me. In the second chapter, kiko was a member of the brach house(according to her name) and in the fourth chapter, she's a main house member. Please clarify.
Me: Well, Kiko is a branch member, though she is well respected by Naruto and Shūchū….
DarkLadyIreth: Awesome…...no other word for it….
Akira Stridder: Wow….nice….
Me: Why thank you for the praise….I'm blushing...Now, let's get to the story!

Chapter Five Arc Two: Ballad of a Leaf Ninja Pt. 1
The two stared each other down. The boy, one of the last few Uchiha left alive frowned deeply, but didn't say anything. This girl was one of the few strong enough to take him. "Tatsumaki, prepare to lose." he said, frown still etched on his pale face.
She said nothing, only looked at her Clan Head, and Shūchū smiled. She nodded at Kiko, and Kiko dropped into her stance.
On the sidelines, Naruto muttered, "Jinken…..This early? Well, I hope the Uchiha can dodge."
Neji and Lee looked at Naruto, silently asking what the Jinken was. Neji finally asked what it was. "Tatsumaki-san, what is the Jinken? I've never heard of it." he said.
The blond looked at them, and sighed, and pulled out his Genjutsu Horrors book. "The Jinken is something only my clan can use. I have no intentions of ever fully learning it though. The Swiftness Fist is very powerful, meaning much training is required before even learning the stance. You remember my Air Palm, right? Well, that is what the basics of the Jinken can produce."
Lee and Neji's eyes were wide. A technique that powerful, and only came from the basics?
Back with Kiko. Kakashi looked at the both of them, and saw neither unfocused. "Match three, begin!"
Samesa jumped back, as if she was going to teleport to him, which she could have. Kiko pulled out a kunai from her sleeve, and threw it, to get him off guard. He caught it, but when he turned to throw it at her, she was no where to be found.
He heard a roar of, "Jinsokuna Kaitai (1)", and ducked out of the way, because when he did, a pam flew past his arm, and hit the ground, causing a slight tremor.
The Uchiha smirked, "You're going to have to try harder to hit me, little Tatsumaki."
She frowned deeply, but kept her cool. Samesa decided to go on the offense, and did quick handsigns.
H put his hand out, and it was set on fire, scaring the crowd, except for Mikoko, who smiled. 'Show her how strong you are Samesa!' "Katon: Ryu Kaenhoushaki (2)!
As soon as he said that, he blew the fire on his hand, causing a huge dragon to come alive, and the dragon blew white-hot flames at Kiko. Kiko dodged, and threw four more kunai at him. He was able to dodge the first three, but the fourth got lodged in his thigh.
Samesa screamed, but stopped the jutsu. He activated his level one Sharingan, surprising even the Uchiha Clan Head. 'When did he activate it?' Mikoko thought.
He smirked, "Yes, I have my Sharingan, now you are nothing you Tatsumaki trash!"
Kiko, Naruto, and Shūchū growled at the insult. Naruto was growling the most, and loudest, and shouted, "Kiko, show him our power! Use it!"
Shūchū nodded, causing everyone to know what 'it' is.
Kiko was about to answer their question, when she tightened her arm wrappings, and said in a cold voice, one that didn't suit her at all, "Jinton Ougi: Sabishii Nakama (3)!
Kiko disappeared, and reappeared multiple times, causing afterimages of herself to appear. Each afterimage closed in his location, and ganged up on him, engaging in a deadly one-sided Taijutsu match against Samesa. He was punched, kicked, and more.
When the afterimages disappeared, Kiko was breathing heavily, and Samesa was on the ground bleeding from his face, back, and body.
Kakashi nodded grimly, this boy was going to be hospitalized for quite a while. "Winner, Tatsumaki Kiko of Squad Four! Now, will numbers seven and eight please come up…(A/N: Sorry, but I won't be writing the fights for the ones that are not important to the story...Again, sorry dudes)
Kakashi spoke after seeing the two Genin go at it. Number seven, who was Sakura and number eight was Ino. They both displayed their skills, which were surprisingly good for the two proclaimed 'fan girls'. Though it ended in a double knockout, it still was good.
Nine and ten, or Hinata and a member of her father's squad, Rukia Tenchi, were after them. Rukia was a skilled marksman, and Hinata didn't know any defensive techniques yet, so all she could do was dodge, and wait for an opening. As soon as Rukia ended her barrage of kunai and shuriken, Hinata struck. She used her Jyuuken to get the win, but she too was too tired to fight, and along with the bruises and scars from the projectiles, she had to go to the Konoha Hospital for medical attention.
Neji was up next, and though he was stoic on the outside, he was glad it was his turn. Kakashi was standing in between the two fighters. "Hyuuga Neji of Squad Thirteen, and Uchiha Sasuke of Squad Seven, ready?" he said, as he looked at the two. They both nodded at his question, and he continued talking. "Fight!"
The two fighters had a sort of stare off, until Sasuke broke the silence, "Come Hyuuga, and let me get this over with. I wish to face the Tatsumaki, as they both are the few that pose a challenge to me." Seeing the look on Neji's face was priceless. He now knew why Naruto loved pissing people off, it was very entertaining.
"You Uchiha trash, I'll enjoy wiping the disgusting grin off of your face, now come! Byakugan!" he roared, as his veins near his eyes bulged out, showing his activated bloodline.
Sasuke grinned, and did some quick handsigns. "Katon: Hotaru no Hinotama (4)!" he yelled, as he blew about twenty small fireballs outward, surrounding Neji. "You lost!" he said, as Neji smirked.
"No, I've won. Now accept your defeat! Hakke: Hasangeki (5)!" he said, as it seemed as if he teleported, though the Jounin and Chuunin present could tell where he was. He pushed a third of his chakra to his palm, and struck, but not before Sasuke ignited a fireball, only getting one shot in because of his good reflexes. The small fireball exploded, hitting Neji full force.
Neji stood up shakily, though Sasuke didn't. He laid on the ground, tired, and almost to the point of chakra exhaustion. Kakashi picked up Sasuke, and took him to his mother. "Winner of this fight, Hyuuga Neji of Squad 13!"
Everyone on the sidelines were excited beyond belief. All these fight so far have been great! And it wasn't even half way finished yet!
Kakashi was surprised at the skill of these Genin. Numbers 13 and 14 were pure Ninjutsu users, and the amount of these second and first year Genin was scary. When 15 and 16 were done, the field was actually remodeled, and Kakashi and two other Jonin had to use a Doton jutsu to fix the landscape. Numbers 17 and 18 were about the only disappointments out of the entire tournament. They were probably the ones who barely passed the Academy.
Lee was up next. Kakashi announced, Numbers 18 and 19, or Rock Lee and Ami were up. Lee wasn't going to hold back because she was a girl. His other teammate, TenTen proved that treating a girl like she was lower than him was a wrong choice. Many kunai stuck in his back and other body parts took forever to take out.
"Rock Lee and Ami are you ready?" he asked, and saw them nod. "Well, begin!"
Ami started off the fight by pulling out a handful of kunai, and launching them at Lee. Lee dodged them with skill, and rushed Ami. "Konoha Senpū! (6)!" as he spun in a circle, with his left foot crashing into Ami's gut. She doubled over, as she fought the urge to pass out.
As Lee kept his barrage of iron hard kicks, Ami jumped back, and did a few handsigns, "Katon: Nenshō Hi Ryū Jutsu (7)!"
Everyone in the crowd, every clan present were wide eyed. They knew the clan that adopted Ami were strong, but strong enough to teach her a jutsu that strong? The huge dragon was in the air, looking ready to toast whatever was in its path. Lee was in shock, but snapped out of it. His eyes shown with iron grit determination.
"Yosh! Ami-chan, you are most worthy! For that, you will be treated as such, Be ready!" He screamed, as he rushed her, after using as much brute strength as he could, and dove into the dragon, fists blazing.
Naruto looked at Gai. "Gai-sensei, this is bad! We need to save him!" he yelled.
Gai looked impassive, and said, "Naruto-kun, I know, but I don't have a technique good enough to save them both without harming them further. We will have to wait and see."
Lee screamed as his foot clashed with the fiery dragon. He spun in a circle, and used his jutsu again, but added a great amount of power. "Dai Konoha Senpū! (8)" And a huge shockwave came from his foot, dispelling the huge monstrous dragon. The shockwave also hit Ami, whom promptly passed out, due to chakra exhaustion, and the huge shockwave that hit her.
"Ami is unable to fight, so Rock Lee of Squad 13 is the winner. Numbers 20 and 21 please come forward.."
Kiba and Shikamaru's fight ended almost as soon as the fight began. Even though Kiba had more strength than Shika, he had more brains. It ended in a draw, so nobody won that round. He trapped Kiba in a shadow, and forced him to forfeit. However, Kiba had Akamaru in his Bunshin form with a kunai to Shikamaru's throat, so he couldn't do anything.
The first part of the tournament was over, and now it was time for the final round. Kakashi had all of the fighters that won their fights redraw a number.
"One." said Lee
"I got five." said Sho.
Naruto said, "And I have three."
"Four", said Neji
"I have two Kakashi-sensei." said one of the older Genin, Mugetsu.
Kiko said, "And I guess I got six."
Kakashi nodded, "Well, the first fight is between Rock Lee of Squad 13 vs Tensho Mugetsu of Squad 1, then Tatsumaki Naruto of Squad 13 vs Hyuuga Neji also of Squad 13, and lastly is Chigure Sho of Squad 2 vs Tatsumaki Kiko of Squad 4!"
Everyone got ready to see some of the best Genin of this generation battle it out soon. Naruto walked to his mother figure, and gave her a hug. Kiko did the same. "You ready Naruto-kun?" asked Shūchū.
Naruto nodded quickly, "Born ready! And Kiko-chan, you're goin' down!" he yelled.
Kiko laughed, "Wanna bet? If you win, then we'll pause your Judo training, and Shūchū-sama can begin your Iaijutsu training, and if you lose, then you have to fight against your sensei and Shūchū-sama at the same time…." she threatened, but as soon as she said it, Naruto yelled, "You're on! Be ready, cuz' I'm going straight to the finals!"
Naruto and Kiko said their goodbyes, and stood with the rest of the finalists not fighting on the sidelines.
Lee and Mugetsu stood in front of each other, waiting for the silver-haired Jonin to start the match. They didn't have to wait for too long. "Are you too ready? Alright, match one of the tournament semi-finals, BEGIN!"
Mugetsu immediately started forming handsigns, "Doton: Kyōran no Shokubutsu (9)!" and a huge tree erupted from the ground, and attacked Lee.
"Dai Konoha Senpū!" as Lee tried to crush the tree, but to no avail. Lee kept trying, but the tree was reinforced with chakra, making it as hard as steel. Lee eventually gave up on breaking the tree, and decided to try to take out Mugetsu and stop the three afterwards.
Lee flew towards the Genin, and engaged him in a heavy Taijutsu battle.
Gai had a wide grin on his face, "GO LEE, SHOW HIM YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH!"
Everyone around him sweat-dropped, and continued to watch the intense fight.
Mugetsu swept his foot, and did a feint to get Lee off guard. Lee caught his ploy, and blocked his leg with his arm. "You can not hope to beat me in a Taijutsu match Mugetsu-kun." as he began to push Mugetsu away, and forced the boy to go on the defensive.
Mugetsu needed a plan, and quick. 'Maybe if I can catch him off guard, I can use the tree to bind him, but it's risky…..' he thought, as he pulled out a few kunai, and threw them, to get him to give him an opening. Lee simply dodged them, and punched Mugetsu in the stomach, and followed it with a axe-kick to his chest.
The boy doubled over, and Lee went for the finish, but was stopped. "Doton: Kyojin Chikara (10)." And his arm turned into stone, and he punched Lee in the face, sending him flying. He didn't stop there, and he sped off to finish the fight. He attempted to punch Lee in the face again, but was blocked by a leg.
"You are most youthful Mugetsu-kun, but let me finish this fight. "Dai Konoha Senpū!" and the kick put a large crack in the hardened arm. Lee kept at it, and utterly wrecked the boy. Mugetsu got tired of the barrage of blows aimed at him, so he hardened his legs as well, and fought back.
Everyone there were in awe of the strength of these Genin yet again. Mugetsu finally got the upper hand, and drop-kicked Lee in the face, sending him in the direction of the chakra enforced tree, which ensnared Lee, causing him to flail helplessly trying to release himself.
Mugetsu walked closer to the tree, lost in his own little world, until a firm hand rested on his shoulder.
"That's enough son…" Gai said with a small smile on his face. Mugetsu nodded, as he backed up. He released his jutsu, but kept the tree, and helped Lee up.
"Thank you Mugetsu-kun, you are a worthy opponent, I wish to battle you again in the future." Lee said, truly happy. He held out his hand in respect.
The boy smiled at Lee, "Definitely…." as he shook Lee's outstretched hand.
The crowd roared in approval at the ending of the fight, and Kakashi stood, and announced the next two fighters. "Alright, Tatsumaki Naruto and Hyuuga Neji, you're next!"
Neji and Naruto stood face to face, and they shook hands, before standing at opposite ends of the training grounds.
The Jonin saw them ready, and announced, "Ready? Fight!"
Neji and Naruto sped up to each other, and their palms each hit a spot on each other. Naruto's palm hit Neji square in the chest, and Neji's palm met Naruto's left arm, trying to hit a tenketsu, but couldn't due to bad footing.
They jumped back, and Naruto announced, "Kūki Yashi!" and tried to hit Neji, but the boy dodged it, and axe-kicked Naruto in the chest.
Neji grinned, "Tatsumaki-san, you have to do better, or you will lose. Come….Byakugan!" as his eyes bulged, Naruto grinned. "What's so funny Tatsumaki?"
Naruto actually burst into laughter, "You're in my Genjutsu, you've already lost!" he said, causing everyone's jaws to drop. Seeing this, Naruto decided to explain it to them. "You see, my dojutsu is always activated, so anyone who looks me in the eyes are automatically subjected to my illusions and Genjutsu if I will it so. I can do anything with my eyes once I've made eye contact with you. Give up, you stand no chance…."
Neji growled, but knew that the boy in front of him was very real, so if he could hurt Naruto enough, then the Genjutsu would break, or so he hoped. He attacked Naruto, but Naruto was ready for it.
Naruto's eyes started to glow, and Naruto uttered the words, "Jujutsu Hijutsu: Daburu Ansatsu (11)", and a clone started coming from his body, like a part of him was slowly being ripped from his very being.
Everyone present didn't know what was happening to the boy, and when the clone start coming from his body, they freaked. "Is he ok?" they asked, and they saw what happened.
When the clone was fully separated from Naruto's body, all hell broke loose. Both original and clone went on the attack, and instantly vanished from sight, only to be seen again in front of Neji, and kicked him high in the air, and the original jumped up on the tree branches, and jumped higher and higher, while the clone was still attacking Neji.
'This is unreal! How can he be this strong, and just graduated?' Neji thought, and began countering the clone, not realizing that the original was getting prepared.
Naruto was standing on top of the tree, gathering the majority of his chakra…..He unleashed it, and everyone looked up at the insane amount of chakra.
"Behold! My second most powerful technique Hyuuga! This is the end!"
