Chapter 8- Tenten's Descendent
Tenten walked toward Naruto, "Geez, you are such a showoff, Naruto." Naruto grinned, "Hey, I like to impress people, you know."
Tenten smiled back, "Just because you are friends with my uncle doesn't mean I will hold back on you."
Naruto said, "I don't expect you to, Ten-chan." Naruto unsheathed Yamato from its scabbard. "Nice sword, Okatana is rare these days." Tenten commented with stars in her eyes.
"Ready? Fight!" Hayate said, leaping away. As soon as the jonin swordsman moved to the edge of the arena, a red barrier appeared. Naruto said, "Awww, shit!!" Tenten said, "I take it that this is not a jutsu of some sorts." Naruto shook his head, "No, remember my heritage." The weapon mistress nodded and Naruto answered, "Well, let's just say that there are people who have some issues with my father and decided to take it out on me instead."
Anko shouted, "Hokage-sama, we need to get them out of there." Sarutobi held up his hand to silence her, "Don't worry, Anko, they will be fine. Just watch, they are much stronger than you know." Prides and some unknown demon came in the picture.
Nero shouted in Naruto's mind, "Those are Scarecrows, Naruto , they are not very smart, but they are agile."Dante looked at Tenten through Naruto's eyes, "Damn it, why is her appearance and attitude so familiar to me? It is eating me up, just looking at her. Who are you, Senzuki Tenten?" He thought.
Naruto sheathed Yamato and took out Luce and Ombra, "Hey, Tenten, catch!" Tenten expertly caught the guns, "Why do these guns feel right in my hands? I feel like I know them from somewhere."Tenten pointed them at a Scarecrow and fired at it. The Scarecrow keeled over dead.
Naruto took out Ebony and Ivory in his hands and stood back to back with her, "How did you know how to fire those? Those guns are not like kunai and you seem to be familiar with them." The Sparda asked her.
Tenten retorted, "I don't know why, but I like it." Naruto turned to her and bowed at her, "May I have this dance, my lady?" Tenten giggled, "Look at you, always joking in the face of danger, I accept." Tenten and Naruto began to do a make-shift Tango position, shooting the ones in front of them, and then they went the other way.
Naruto and Tenten spun around, shooting the demons into oblivion. Then Naruto let her go as she spun around on the tips of her foot, shooting Scarecrows and Prides alike in the head and purposely missing Naruto as he stood still, watching her.
Next, Naruto leaped and jumped gracefully toward Tenten, shooting the ones that were about to surround her. "You are a nice dancer." Naruto commented after he kicked a Pride in the air and proceeded to shoot it up in the air. Tenten flipped toward Naruto, shooting the ones below her and landed next to him, "Thanks…you are pretty good too."
The Namikaze smiled at her, each pause he shot a demon, "You know…what do ya say….if I take you out…when this preliminary is over…there is a jazz club nearby….and we can dance…without the demons, I might add." Hinata thought, "W-What, he is asking her on a date? I-I am t-too late." Tenten said, "I…am honored….and I…accept your offer."
Naruto said, "Pick you up…at seven." Tenten said, "Agreed." They sprang apart and Tenten gave back his guns as she unsealed a katana. Naruto bit his thumb and brought out Rebellion.
(He's a Pirate (remixes) plays. A/N: The link is on my page now)
"Let's go!" Naruto said. Tenten and Naruto hacked them to pieces. "Wow, they are good…they coordinated their movements perfectly, interlacing over each other. It is like they know each other for a long time." Sakura thought. Kakashi said, "I have never seen attacks that well organized and precise." Neji thought in shock, "Tenten has never been able to coordinate with us that well, it's like she is a new person altogether."
Everyone watched as the dancing duo weaved and cut down the demonic forces to shreds. In the end, Naruto and Tenten jumped back to back as the rest of them faded away from existence.
Tenten said, "Well, that is that!"
Naruto said in a serious tone, "No, not yet!"
Soon they both heard a rumbling noise, and then they rolled away in opposite directions to see lightning sprung out of the ground. They looked up to see a winged, tailed demon with lightning coursing around its body. In its hand, it held a large broadsword with the hilt being a winged dragon. The blade seems to come out of its mouth. "Alastor…but he is not supposed to have a body. When I found him, all he did was stab me in the chest and then I could control it."Dante said in shock.
"I guess dear old Mum made an effective ritual after all." Naruto thought as he hefted Rebellion over his shoulder. "I am Alastor…the weak shall give their heart and swear their eternal loyalty to me." The devil said in an ominous voice. Kiba said, "W-What the hell is that thing?!" Sakura shouted, "Naruto, be careful!"
Naruto gave her a thumbs-up, not taking his eyes off of Alastor, "Sorry, buddy, but I am not into the whole servant thing. It is kinda boring after a while. Since you introduced yourself, I will return the favor. I am Naruto Uzumaki…I am nobody's bitch…you are mine."
Everyone gaped at Naruto who just insulted the demon. Alastor growled at him and noticed Tenten. "Oh hell no…" Naruto thought as he moved quickly. Alastor flew at Tenten and was about to stab her, "Shi ne!" Tenten closed her eyes in anticipation in the strike, she heard its piercing sound, but no pain. She opened her eyes to see that Alastor had pierced Naruto, who was in front of Tenten. "Naruto…" she said.
Naruto said, "Maa maa, I can't have you dying…we still need to go on that date now, don't we?" Tenten nodded, tears in her eyes. Naruto held one hand on the broadsword while wiping tears away, "Now, now…no crying, you are a kunoichi. Woman up and stay away from here…I will take care of Alastor."
The kunoichi nodded and moved away. Naruto said, "Okay, bitch, there is only one thing that I hate the most and pissed me off…the fact that you just tried to kill my friend over there. Now you will pay for your insolence!!" Naruto began to glow and a light surrounded him and Alastor, causing everyone to shield their eyes.
When the light dimmed, the audience saw Alastor, but in Naruto's place, a dark silhouette of Naruto appeared with longer hair and cerulean eyes (picture Kazeshini from Bleach, only the outline is yellow)
Kasumi mused, "It seems that he has finally awakened the devil within him."
Sakura thought, "Naruto…what happened to you?"
Kiba thought, "I-Is t-this really Naruto, the dead last."
Dosu thought in fear, "Just w-what the h-hell is he?"
Naruto said, "Here I go!" Naruto and Alastor flew toward each other, slashing at each other. Alastor thrusted at Naruto, but the teen parried with Rebellion and flicked the blade toward Alastor's chest.
Alastor dodged only for Naruto to appear behind him and slashed him successfully on the chest. Then Naruto shouted, "Stinger!!" Naruto sprang forward, stabbing Alastor in the gut. Alastor dropped his sword and back up, but Naruto didn't stop there. "High Time!!" Naruto shouted, blasting the lightning devil into the air. "And now…Round Trip!!!" Naruto took Rebellion and flung like a boomerang at Alastor. Alastor slammed against the wall, impaling him with Rebellion. "And that's game!" Naruto said, wiping his nose with his thumb.
Alastor said, "It seems that I am still the weak one…you have passed your second test, take my soul and wield me well, boy." Alastor went limp and a ball of light replaced him and his sword. The ball flew to Naruto, who caught it in his hand. The ball of light replaced itself with Alastor's sword.
Naruto reverted back to normal and brought Alastor up, crackling with blue-purple electricity. The audience watched as Naruto began to practice swings of the sword, then he kicked it up, grabbed it and placed up on his back, where it gave one last spark. Then the red barrier broke into pieces and Naruto walked up toward Tenten, and grabbed Yamato, "Are you ready to go?"
Tenten said, "B-but, h-how did you..?"
Naruto said, "How did I survive that blow? The trick is my bloodline allows me to heal at a rapid extent and survive fatal blows. With enough stress, I can unlock the second part, which you saw while I was fighting with Alastor, that form I can access for only 1 day it seems. But I can still fight, so don't hold back on me, Tenten."
Tenten nodded and pulled out her katana. The room was silent as they watched them face off for a short while. A sweat drop from Kiba's brow rolled down his cheek and onto his chin, and then it fell down to the ground like a silent pin drop.
At that exact moment, Naruto and Tenten ran at each other as if in slow motion, then they appear on opposite side of the arena. Nobody dared to break the silence in the air, then Naruto's chest opened and blood flowed out in a spray-like matter.
"Nice hit, Ten-chan!" Naruto whispered.
Tenten whispered, "You too, Naruto-kun….that was the best time I had ever in a fight." Tenten's buns slowly burst out of the rubber bands as she fell to the ground.
Naruto caught Tenten bridal style, "A lady should never have their beautiful face touch the floor and I think you should keep your hair down like this, it looks good on you." Tenten blushed and opened her eyes, causing him to gasp.
"Naruto-kun, what is wrong?" she asked. Naruto said, "Your eyes…they changed color."
Tenten said, "How so?" Naruto took out a kunai knife and held it to her view to see. Tenten gasped at her eye color, they were mismatched, one was red and the other was blue.
"Lady…" Dante whispered.
Naruto thought, "Who is that?"
Dante said, "Lady was my friend when Virgil and her father, Arkham opened the gate to Hell to get your ancestor's sword, Force Edge, Lady came to kill Arkham after he sacrificed his own wife and her mother for power. She followed me and Vergil. She was a daughter of a priestess, which was essential to opening the gate since the seal was made of Sparda's blood and the blood of a priestess. In the end, she killed her father after Vergil and I defeated him, then we both became friends ever since and she became known as the Legendary Demon Huntress. She was in love with me and I never noticed until I was too late. I married a woman named Nora while she was heartbroken. Then she married a man named Azrael and I never heard from her since that day. To think…she has a descendent too."
Naruto thought, "Tenten is the descendent of the Legendary Demon Huntress, Lady, huh? So that is why Kuwa-san had the weapons of the Sparda line, but does he knows about this change?
" Virgil said, "Probably not…but you might have to ask him after the exams." Naruto nodded and made a Kage Bunshin to stay in the arena while he would escort her to the hospital. "Next match is Neji Hyuga vs. Hinata Hyuga." Hayate said.
Naruto- Naruto kicked open the door and found a doctor, "This is Tenten Senzuki, she has minor lacerations on her chest and legs and a major gash on her back. Please take care of her." The doctor took Tenten and set her down in a room. Naruto watched her for a moment and for some reason, he could not resist touch her tan, smooth skin.
Taking in her luscious lips and her smooth chin of her face, he was lost for a moment, "She is quite cute when she is sleeping…then again, all girls and women are cute when they are sleeping…I better return to the match, so I will see you later…Ten-chan."Naruto thought.
"Awww…Naru-chan got a girlfriend…so sweet."Kasumi said.
The Jinchuuriki retorted, "Shut up, Kasumi!"
Kasumi pouted, "You don't have to be so mean, jeez!"
Naruto walked down the hall and then he heard a muffled scream. Naruto ran down the hallway toward the scream and kicked the door open to see Zaku with his pants down and a naked Kin gagged and tied up against the bed.
Before Zaku could register what just happened, Naruto took out a kunai and did what all gentleman or women do to rapists…he castrated Zaku's ability to get hard, give children, or even use the bathroom. "I am not letting you rape her…that is your own teammate, you son of a bitch!! Now you will go to Hell without the ability to produce children." Naruto growled out.
Zaku looked fearfully into Naruto's cold eyes, "W-wait a minute!!"
Naruto turned around, with Yamato in hand and took it out and slashed downwards, and then he flicked it back into the sheath. Zaku was silent and slowly fell apart into pieces, and then Naruto pressed a button for emergency service, "Clean up on room 235 please."
Naruto turned to Kin, "You are safe now!" Kin squirmed a bit in front of him, but Naruto placated her saying, "Shh, shh, it's okay….I am here to help, okay?"
Naruto pulled out a kunai and the kunoichi started to whimper and scream out, muffled by the gad. "Hey, shh, I am not going to hurt you, okay? Just relax, I am going to get you out of those bonds of yours, alright?"
Kin looked into Naruto's eyes and found nothing but sincerity and calmness washed over her body as she sank deeper and deeper into his pools of oceans. Naruto proceeded to release from her bonds with his eyes closed.
As a gentleman, he despised seeing women raped and the Oto kunoichi's dignity was stolen from her. Naruto wrapped her up in his coat and picked her up bridal style, raced out the window to his home. Minutes later, a nurse that would walk in the room to find a missing kunoichi, tattered sheets, and gory pieces that once stood an ambitious boy.
Namikaze Complex- Kin and Naruto went inside the house and Naruto set her on the bed, he made yet another Kage Bunshin to watch and he went and searched her mother's room for some clothes. Then he came inside and gave her a beige shirt and black pants.
"There you go, Kin! Here are some clothes and I want you to stay here because now that Zaku is dead, I fear Dosu may try to kill or worse, rape you if I leave you in the hospital."
Kin nodded and Naruto said, "Good, now I want you to change here, I will turn my back so you can have some modesty and usually girls tried to kill themselves after they have been almost raped. Kin nodded and blushed furiously as she undressed and put on his mother's clothes, it seems to fit her nicely.
"There! Now, Kin, I will have to go back to the arena to watch the matches, okay?" Naruto said.
Kin spoke for the first time, "W-Why?"
Naruto turned to her, "I don't understand."
The kunoichi said, "Why are you being so nice to me? I mean, I tried to kill your friends." Naruto said, "Yes, under orders from Orochimaru. If he knew that he was going to give Sasuke that hickey of his, then he was intentionally trying to get you killed. Also you were belittled and hit by your own teammates, the rape was the final straw with me. I will not stand for a woman like you get raped no less by your teammate."
Kin said, "I thought you are just keeping me here for information on Orochimaru."
Naruto said, "That is part of it and the fact Orochimaru is using you. I don't think you are weak, you are stronger than some of the kunoichi, mostly which are fangirls. Also I think you want to get away from all of this, but someone or something dear to you is holding you back…who is he or she?"
Kin said, "T-Tayuya. She is one of the Sound Four, Orochimaru's bodyguard. She is my only friend and I am the only one who knows her true side."
Naruto said, "Will she be here during the invasion?" Kin froze for a moment, "How did you know about that?" Naruto said, "I didn't…it seems that he will do the invasion during the Chunin Exams Finals, but he doesn't have enough forces since Oto is a new village, so he must be allied with a country."
Kin answered, "It is Suna, he plans to kill the Kazekage and masquerade as him to get close to the Hokage." Naruto smirked, "Well, he forgot one thing….he doesn't know Naruto Uzumaki, he doesn't who the fuck he is dealing with. I will be back in a few hours."
Kin grabbed his hand and whispered, "No…please…don't leave me…here alone." Naruto sighed and squeezed her hand gently, "I have to or they might suspect something, but I will leave a Kage Bunshin with you." Naruto let go off her hand slowly and shunshined to the match.
Match- (A few minutes before Naruto comes)-Neji and Hinata faced each other. Neji spoke first, "I never thought that I would be facing you." Hinata replied quietly, "Neji-nii-san." Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Never knew that Hinata had a brother." Kakashi replied, "That is because they aren't Naruto…they are member of the Hyuga clan, but they are not brother and sister."
Sakura asked the silver-haired jonin, "So then…what are they?" Kakashi said, "They are members of the Hyuga's Main and Branch Houses." Lee said, "Hinata is part of the Main House, while Neji is in the Branch House."
Naruto asked, "So why does Neji look mad at her for?"
Lee said, "Many things happened between both houses and they are at odds right now."
Naruto said, "Hinata would not dare hurt her cousin, but Neji will. This is a bad match-up if he does anything serious."
Hayate shouted, "Begin!"
Neji said, "Before we begin, I like to speak freely, Hinata-sama….you don't make a good shinobi, forfeit the match." Hinata's eyes widened and she looked to the side.
Neji continued, "You are too kind, you wish for peace and avoid conflict…you agree with others, never resisting. You have no confidence in yourself and the Chunin Exam could be taken as a team of three…you couldn't turn down the request, couldn't you?"
Hinata said, "N-No, I w-wanted to change myself…do something on my own." Neji said, "As I thought….Hinata-sama, you are a spoiled brat of the Main Family. People can't change themselves, losers will always be losers. Their personality and strength can't change at all."
Naruto frowned as he thought, "Immediately I don't like his ass at all for saying that."
The destiny jackass continued, "Because people can't change, differences were born and the terms loser and elite were created. Looks, brains, personality, ability, size…all people judge and are judged in these values. Based on these unchangeable factors, people discriminate and are discriminated against and then they suffer under their own means. Just like the fact that you were born in the Main Family and I in the Branch."
Naruto thought, "Okay, this guy is really pissing me off with this destiny shit he is spouting out of his ass."
Neji said, "I can see through you with my Byakugan…you are acting strong, but really you want to run and hide."
Hinata retorted feebly, "N-No, I really…"
Sakura said, "What is the Byakugan?"
Kakashi said, "In terms of insight, it surpasses the Sharingan. There are rumors that the Uchiha clan originates from the Hyuga clan."
Naruto commented, "It is probably true…both clans are pompous bastards any way…and Sakura, put your goddamn hand down." Sakura put her hand down instantly as she noticed Naruto's tone. "Naruto is pissed for some reason….I better not bother him." She thought to herself. Kakashi looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto, apologize to…"
Naruto turned to give him a look that instantly shut the jonin up, "Don't talk to me about apologizing. I am very tired and Sakura hitting me on my head will not help me in my state, so shut up and drop it." Neji activated the Byakugan for an intimidation tactic, making Hinata's eye move in the upper left corner, then the lower right corner and she touched her pointer finger to her mouth.
Neji smirked smugly, "Like I said, I can see through. Your eye went up to the upper left meaning you are remembering your painful past, then in the lower right, that is a sign that you are imagining physical and mental pain…you are imagining that you are going to lose!!"
The real Naruto appeared in a shunshin, "Tenten is in the hospital safely…Okay, you are dismissed." The clone nodded and dispersed itself, Naruto immediately sorted its memories and glared at Neji, "This guy is your teammate, Lee…he is such an asshole to his own cousin, no less."
Hinata flinched, raising her arms as Neji continued, "Raising your arms in front of yourself means that you are trying to distance yourself from me because everything that I predicted was true. Furthermore, touching your lip is a personality trait that reveals a disturbance, you are trying to soften the nervousness that you feel. So in basic reality, you haven't realized that you can't change your fate!"
Naruto could not take it no more and laughed out loud, catching everyone's attention, "Hahahahaha!" Neji, Hinata, and the others looked at Naruto.
The Jinchuuriki said, "So I guess you can't change yourself from being such an asshole, Neji…because you see, Hinata here has changed herself…normally she would not approach you in a fight, yet she said. You believe that Hinata is weak and defenseless all because she is from the Main Family. Ha! What a stupid excuse to bully her around, you are just jealous because you wasn't born in the Main Family. Your so-called Byakugan is blinded, Neji, you can see nothing at all because all you have is shit stuck in your goddamn eyes. The thing that pisses me off other than people who reads porn in public, perverts, and rapists is arrogant people who believe that fate predetermined your life. You make your own path by your actions and decisions, and you are in a dead end, Neji. Hinata, I don't care if he is your god forsaken damn cousin, I wanted you to kick this motherfucker's ass to next week!!"
Hinata thought, "Naruto-kun…"
Then she bowed her head while Neji thought, "By Kami, he is annoying!"
Then the Hyuga jackass looked at Hinata, her eyes filled with determination, "So you won't forfeit, then I will not be responsible for what happens here." Hinata activated her Byakugan as she thought, "I will not run away…I will no longer…run away!"
The Hyuga heiress then slipped into the Hyuga stance, "Neji-niisan, let's fight!" Neji slipped into the same stance, "Fine.." Both of them charged at each other. Lee said, "I thought so, their stances are similar to each other, the same Hyuga style." Sakura said, "Hyuga style?" Lee answered, "That style…is the strongest taijutsu besides the Senkou style used by the Yondaime.
(Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Phanatic Remix) plays)
Hinata and Neji fiercely battled and mesmerized the audience with the deadly dance of death. Hinata's flexibility against Neji's knowledge and control of chakra were clashed between each other, each trying to overpower and gained the upper hand. Then Hinata saw an opening and aimed her chakra at Neji's torso, catching a scratch on him.
Neji stepped back, clutching his chest, "Ugh!"
Naruto smiled, "Go, Hinata, you kick his ass. Prove to him that you are not weak." He said quietly as he watched her.
Sakura said, "But she only barely hit him."
Lee said, "That is the thing…a slight scratch is all it takes. That is all it needs."
Sakura said, "Explain, Lee-kun."
Gai stepped in, "The Hyuga style taijutsu has been passed down. The taijutsu Lee and I used, Goken, is solely for bruises and breaking bones while the Hyuga style, Juken, causes damage to the chakra network. It may not look impressive, but you feel the aftereffects as the battle progresses." Hinata fought, pressuring Neji to go on the defensive.
Shino thought, "Hinata's in control of the battle…Naruto, you actually gave her the confidence to stand up for herself and now I am seeing the true Hinata Hyuga."
Kurenai thought, "Hinata…"
Sakura said, "So they attack the chakra network system."
Naruto said, "Anybody can utilize this style by knowing the anatomy of the body well, but their Byakugan helps them perfect the style…since they can see the chakra network." Hinata and Neji jumped back from a moment and clashed into. "Did she get him?" Sakura said loudly. Hinata coughed up blood, shocking everyone. Neji said, "So this is the extent of the Main Family household."
Hinata thought as she knocked Neji's arm away and aimed at his head, "Not yet!" Neji's eyes widened as he quickly reacted by grabbing her arm and pressing a point. Then he pulled back her sleeves to show red dot-like bruises on her arms. "No way…from the beginning, you…"Hinata said.
"Exactly, I have stopped your flow of chakra in your arms. You can no longer utilize the Jyuken style against me, it was fated that you will lose." Hinata was knocked back in the chest and she skidded a few feet away from him.
She struggled to get up as Neji said, "Hinata-sama, there is a difference in talent that will never change between us…the difference that makes you the loser and me the elite. This reality cannot be changed, from the moment you said you did not want to run, you were setting yourself up for regret, you should be overcome with desperation. Forfeit!"
As that moment, Hinata stood up, "I…don't…go back…on my word…because that is also my nindo…my ninja way."Naruto smirked as he thought, "She stole my nindo, heh, go get him, Hinata!"The Kyuubi jailer shouted, "Go get him, Hinata, show him what you can do." Naruto said to himself, "I never knew that Hinata had a personality like this."
Sakura said, "She is like you…she was also watching you from a distance."
Naruto said, "So that explains the blushes and stuttering…I may ask for a date after I go with Tenten." Hinata began to cough up a large amount of blood.
"She is at her limit…any more damage and she'll…" Kurenai thought in panic. Kakashi said, "This Neji is quite formidable…I doubt that Sasuke or Naruto will be able to beat him." Gai thought, "She can't defeat him…Neji would most likely survive this test." Gaara looked intently at the fight, who knew what thoughts were going through his unstable mind.
Hinata looked up at Naruto and the Jinchuuriki smiled and nodded. The heiress then charged at her cousin. She thought, "Naruto-kun…I have always watched you for years. I don't know why, but when I look at you, I feel like I can do anything. I feel courage…I feel like I am worth something, that is how I began to feel." Neji blocked her arm and raised his palm to plant her a strike to the chin. She skidded back only to charge at him.
Kurenai thought, "Hinata…you used to always quit…I know better than anyone else about the tough training you put yourself into. You would fail missions and were weak when it mattered the most, eventually losing your confidence quickly. But…that child is no more because the woman I see has changed."
Hinata thought to herself, "I have always watched you, Naruto-kun…but now you are the one watching me."
Neji attacked Hinata in the chest as he said, "You understand nothing, your attacks have done nothing since the beginning." Hayate stepped in, "As it seems that Hinata Hyuga can't…" Naruto interrupted, "You might wanna rethink that…"
Sakura shouted, "What are you saying, you baka…can't you see that she can't continue."
Naruto said softly, "Sakura…you really don't know me at all, do you?"
Sakura said, "What?"
Naruto turned to her, "If you did really knew me, you should know….that I never like to quit."
Gasps were heard in the audience and Sakura tore her gaze to see a standing Hinata. "Because I never give up at all…remember in your brain, Sakura." Naruto said, smiling at Hinata.
"Why…Why do you persist on standing? If you keep on pushing yourself, you will die." Neji asked.
Hinata thought, "Because the person that I admire is finally watching me."
The Hyuga princess declared, "It's not over!"
Neji scoffed, "Acting touch is futile, I can see that you can barely stand at all. From the time of your birth, the responsibilities of the Main Family were pressed upon you. You have always hated your weakness, but people can't change Fate. There is no need to suffer, so let it go!"
Hinata replied softly, but strongly, "You are wrong, Neji…because that person that is suffering and lost in the destinies of the Main and Branch families is actually you." Suddenly something snapped in Neji and he charged the weakened Neji, only feeling a blue hand on his face. "What?" He thought.
"URAHHH!!!" Naruto shouted, dragging Neji's head on the ground before throwing Neji into the wall, embedding a life-size crack of Neji's person. Everyone looked in shock to see Naruto with the Devil Bringer out in play, glaring fiercely at him.
"That arm…he is truly the 4thHokage's son. He is actually alive!" Kurenai, Asuma, and the rest of the jonin except Kakashi thought in shock.
"You stay your ass right there…I will deal with you later." Naruto said coldly. Then he turned to Hinata, who quietly slumped into his arms. "Did I do well, N-Naruto-kun?" she asked softly.
Naruto brushed a bang out of her face and whispered, "You did good, very good, Hinata-chan. Now stay still while I heal you." Naruto lifted his Devil Bringer, which suddenly turned a light green.
With a wave of his hand, he healed her internal injuries in a second, "There…now rest, Hinata-chan, I will come and visit you when the preliminaries are done, alright?"
Hinata said, "Promise?"
Naruto gave her a warm smile, "I promise because I never go back on my word…that is my nindo, my ninja way." Hinata smiled before she drifted off to sleep. Naruto handed her to the medics and said, "Make sure that she is safe…or I will make all your lives a living hell just like what I am doing to Neji in the exams."
The jonin except Kurenai and Asuma pulled Neji out of the wall, but Neji decided to shoot his mouth off, "Hey...You, the loser over there. Two things…One, if you are a shinobi, you should cut out the pathetic cheering of others. Two, in the end, once a loser always a loser!"
Naruto summoned Yamato on the quick draw and Neji flinched to see Yamato dangerously close to his jugular. The sword had a bead of blood flowing from Neji's neck and the only thing keeping him alive was Kurenai, Asuma, Kakashi, Gai, and Hayate.
All of them were struggling to keep him at bay as Naruto growled, "Well then I will return the favor by telling you two things. One, you need to man up and stop sucking on your dad's little screw he calls a dick and two, you are motherfucking dead…do you hear me, despite you are Hinata's cousin and Tenten's teammate, your blood will be spilled tenfold. It wouldn't matter if I become a missing Nin if I kill you unintentionally."
Naruto said, "You guys can let me go, now I said my peace."
Naruto was released and went to Hinata's blood to cover his left hand with it. He held his fist to him, "I swear you will suffer her pain on her blood…ore wa kesshite yurusanai!!"
Neji was unnerved at his statement because slightly behind and beside Naruto there was a silhouette of a devil.
Kasumi said, "Oh, he is so going to die for messing with Hina-chan."
Dante said, "That was low, I mean, I can't talk since Virgil and I did the same thing, but seeing someone else do it is cruel."
Virgil said, "That boy pissed off a Sparda and you know that a Sparda becomes extremely sadistic when it comes down to hurting friends or family."
Nero didn't say anything, knowing that this situation was similar to him and Kyrie when Sanctus had her kidnapped.
Kakashi scolded, "Naruto, you shouldn't make claims that you…"
Naruto shouted, "If you are trying to steer me from hurting him severely or lecture me on my actions, then save your shit, Hatake-san. I can't believe that your sensei had faith in you. You are still that 13-year-old pompous bastard that you are, when your teammate died. You have not changed a bit. Take your ass out of my sight! "
Kakashi's eye widened in shock as Naruto shunshined back away from Gai, Lee, Neji and his team to stand by Kurenai and Shino.
Time skip-End of Preliminaries- Naruto made sure to stand away from Neji, so he would not attempt to plunge his hand into Neji's gut and string out his intestines…painfully slow. "Congratulations to the finalists…the finals will be held one month from now." Hayate said, "So you will draw lots to see who gets paired up…starting from the left.
Temari said, "7"
Naruto said, "What does it takes to be #1?"
Shino said, "6"
Kankuro said, "5, my lucky number"
Gaara said, "3"
Shikamaru said, "What a drag, its 9"
Dosu said, "8"
Neji said, "2"
Neji looked at Naruto to see a slow malicious smile that would put Ibiki to shame appear on his face.
Everyone all thought, "Oh, he is so screwed!"
Ibiki and Anko thought, "That boy needs to be in the Torture and Interrogation Division."
Sarutobi said, "We shall see you guys in a month."
Hakureisaiga-And that concludes the Preliminaries, I am so awesome....now I shall show the sadistic nature of Naruto. Neji's fate-loving ass is going to rape over for Hinata. This is personal since I hated the fact that he actually did that. Read and review, you guys, now if you will excuse me, I will be torturing Neji along with Naruto until the next chapter.
Hakureisaiga-We have another Devil Arm, Kakashi getting chewed out, Neji getting PWNED!!, NaruTen moment with a date and our lovely NaruHina moment.
Naruto- You will pay for your cruelty ( turn to a gagged Neji)
Hakureisaiga- MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!! (Door closes and muffled screams are heard)
