Well, I present you with the Begining of the Tournament.
Chapter 57: The battle of a Fox and a Banshi! Naruto Vs. Zaku!
Naruto and the others had taken advice from the Jounin to avoid each other until the tournament started, that way none of their recently aqiured Jutsu would be revealed. The regular Chuunin Exams had just ended. One person from Leaf was promoted, as was one person from Hidden Stone and Grass. Naruto, however, wasn't concerned with the results. The only thing on his mind was his upcoming match against Zaku, a former enemy from Hidden sound.
The arena used was the same outdoor arena as the Chuunin Exams. The lords from other countries had remained after the exams were over to witness the tournament of the twelve Genin. Not making them wait any longer, Kakashi had stepped into the arena, "I will be the watching over this special tournament, I don't like formalities, so I'll get to our first round. Uzamaki Naruto and Abumi Zaku."
The two jumped out of the rafters and stood at opposite ends of the arena, "Don't think I'm the same as before Naruto," smiled Zaku with his usual arragont grin, "Just make sure not to bore me."
"Don't worry about that," said Naruto readying his stance, "I think I'll be more than enough to entertain you."
"Cocky as ever, eh Naruto," Kakashi said through his mask, "Let's begin this fight then," with those words Zaku pointed his arm at Naruto revealing the tube in his arm, firing off a blast of sound and air. Naruto easily dodged it from the distance he was at.
"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" yelled Naruto created nine shadow clones. The Clones rushed in at Zaku, who extended both of his arms out. Immediatly the clones stopped and jumped back, recognizing Zaku's ultimate Air Slicing Current technique.
"Don't think you'll get me with that old trick," smiled Naruto, "So long as I keep a good distance you're done."
"Don't think you know what's going on so early Naruto," Zaku Smiled, "Sound waves!" yelled Zaku, and a an loud hum emmited from his arms.
"What's that suppose to do?" asked Naruto, "the sound isn't doing anything."
"It's simple, the sound is infused with my Chakra, so long as my chakra holds out, the sound will remain, allowing me to use this," Zaku preformed a few hand seals, "Sound Transferance Jutsu!" with that Zaku suddenly reappeared between two of the Naruto Clones. He extended his arms and blast the two clones away.
"What the hell happened!?" yelled Naruto.
"Using this sound, I can transfer by body to any point in the arena. I can get as close or far away from you as needed," smiled Zaku, "Give it up. You'll never win."
"Tage Kage Bushin No Jutsu!" yelled Naruto.
Hinata gazed at the two combatants. Activating her Byakuugen she the movement of Zaku through the sound waves. She also saw multible weaknesses. The first one Naruto wouldn't be able to see. The sound waves of Zaku's arms disrubt the sound in the air, so before he can teleport to that spot he must wait for the waves in his attacks range restabalize, which is why he didn't use his ultimate air slicing current, as that would disrupt the entire field.
The other was the delay. He doesn't immidiatly teleport through the air, but it takes a moment. If naruto could predict when and where he would teleport to, he could get Zaku when he is open for a brief instant when he reaches his location.
"Don't think your clones are going to help you here," smiled Zaku. Preforming the seals again, he moved behind the clones, pointing both hands to the biggest collection of them, eliminating a huge number. When the clones had turned around to attack Zaku had already used the Jutsu again and teleported out of harms way.
"Nice technique their Zaku, but I think I've found your weakness," smiled Naruto, "Your attack disrupts your sound field, doesn't it?" Hinata was stunned, she had no Idea how Naruto figured it out without being able to see the chakra.
"H-how did you figure it out?" yelled Zaku in frustration.
"You didn't use your big Air Current attack, which would have taken out all the clones. If you used it you would negate your sound wave Jutsu, however I think I will do that one myself," Naruto answered with a smirk.
"Figuring it out won't do any good!" yelled Zaku, "withough sound how do you expect to stop it?"
"With air," smiled Naruto preforming some seals, "Wind Shield!" he yelled out along with all the shadow clones. Small barriers of wind made to deflect shuriken and kunai suround them. With the distorted air currents the sound became unstable, and Zaku was no longer able ot use his sound transfer Jutsu.
"Clever," smiled Zaku, "but what do you intend to do now Naruto?"
"This," Naruto preformed some more hand seals, "Shot Vortex!" he yelled out, Naruto. He pointed his hand at Zaku firing off the Vortex of Chakra.
"So, you can do it withough your clones now he? Lets see if it has the power to stop this," Zaku put his wrists together and pointed the tunel in both of his hands at NAruto, "Dual Air Slicing Current!" he yelled, a powerful blast errupting from the combined force of both tunnels. The collision of the Shot Vortex and Dual Air Slicing Current ended in a draw, disapating upon impact.
Naruto looked Shocked that Zaku had an attack on par with the Shot Vortex, however in the stand was another person who looked shocked, "It would seem we have quite the talented group of Genin's this time," said Hayate a smile quickly replacing the shock.
"Looks like I'll have to try something else them." said Naruto preforming some seals, "Kage Bushin No Jutsu!" and three Naruto clones appeared.
"Don't think You'll win this," smiled Zaku, "That last attack wiped out your clones, and soon my sound will restabalize, give up."
The real Naruto only smiled and jumped high into the air preforming more fast hand seals and Fired A shot Vortex down at Zaku. Zaku quickly countered with his Dual Air Slicing current, however when he fired one Naruto Clone had thrown the other two, who were spiraling towards him as the clone yelled, "Shot Vortex!" and the two Naruto clones dispersed, in their place a second Shot Vortex. While being substantially weaker than the first shot, it was enough to send Zaku into a wall, unable to continue fighting.
"Dammit," Said Zaku with a weak smile, "You really have gotten strong, eh Naruto?"
"You got quite scary yourself," Smiled Naruto, "I didn't think any one here could match my Shot Vortex's power. Anyway, looks like we should clear out for the next match." Naruto helped Zaku up and out of the Arena.
"Winner, Uzamaki Naruto," said Kakashi, "Now will Akamichi Choiji and Kinuta Dosu come down and Commence the next match.
Enjoy the read, and please R&R.
