The Demon winged Protector: The Prelim tournament

Naruto woke up suddenly. His team was 2/3 done the Chuunin exam. They were out of the Forest of death, and in the central tower. He hadn't been able to get any decent night's sleep for the past while.

And it was showing during his sparring match with Rock Lee. Naruto's eccentric friend knew this.

"Naruto. You're tired. You should rest up" Lee said. Naruto growled.

"And what makes you think I'm tired" Naruto snapped at Lee. Lee was not overly shocked.

"You're more snappy then ususal, which is almost never, and I've actually landed a hit on you" Lee said. Naruto smirked.

"Alright. I give. You got me. There has been a lot of things on my mind, and I can't sort them so easily. Something, from my first home. I sense it. It's troubling" Naruto said. Lee stopped the match.

"As your friend Naruto, get some rest. You need to be ready for anything. You of all people know that" Lee said. Naruto nodded.

Later, after explaining things to Sakura, He began to explain what he has been seeing.

"That seal on your neck, is connected to my dreams. If I'm right, Sephiroth will be in this world eventually. If Orochimaru takes control of you, we're screwed. Sasuke, don't give into the temptations. I'll fix that seal on you. Yet I feel as if I'm no different. Because of the Jenova cells. They are connected to Sephiroth" Naruto said, crying again. It hit his teammates hard.

"I never would think another being like Hojo would have existed. Yet Orochimaru is like him. I must. I must stop him. I must" Naruto said, full out sobbing now. Sakura pulled him into a sisterly embrace.

"You're gonna be okay. If anyone can solve this problem, it's you" Sasuke said. Naruto nodded.

"Yeah. Judging by the amount of people here already, a Prelim round will be made first. I hope I don't have to go first. Sasuke, don't use to much chakra. That curse spreading, will cause you to be DQ'ed" Naruto said.

Later, Naruto's match was first. He was facing off against Kiba. Kib and Akamaru were fast alright, but they kept missing. Even unleashng theri deadly Gatsuuga. But Naruto had enough after that.

"I'm ending this now" Naruto said. He grabbed and slammed Kiba pretty hard, before electrocuting Akamaru. It was only one to knock him out. Naruto was declared winner.

Shino, Temari, Sasuke, Kankuro, and Shikimaru won their respective matches. Sakura tied with Ino. Lee was in a brutal encounter with Gaara, which resulted in Gaara nearly Killing Lee. Now, it was Hyuuga VS Hyuuga. Hinata VS Neji.

One look at it, you would have thought that Hinata would give up. They way her body language was displayed, clearly showed she was scared against her ruthless cousin.

"Give up. Fate says you are going to lose, and badly" Neji said. It was then, that Hinata smirked.

"That's what you think. I'm not as weak as you think I am. I lie, to surprise people" Hinata said. She made the first move.

Yet no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't be Neji. But she had enraged Neji, so she at least got in his head, forcing him to not underestimate her.
