Chapter 13-Troublesome Fighting

The crowd shouted in anger for them to start the next match, then Shikamaru said, "So Sasuke doesn't plan on coming." Shino said, "He is wise to do so. 'The wise doesn't approach the dangerous.'" Naruto said, approaching them, "Oh, he will come. Sasuke can't resist a strong opponent."

Naruto's eyes flickered to the side and Gaara's did the same.

Kankuro whispered, "If he doesn't come, the plan will…."

Temari said, "This is bad, what are we going to do?"

Naruto whispered, "I tell you what you are going to do….nothing."

The two siblings stiffened as Naruto continued, 'You are to spread the word that the Kazekage is dead and Orochimaru, the murderer, is the one impersonating him during Gaara's match." Temari said, "The Kazekage….is dead. How can you confirm this?"

Naruto pulled out a recorder and pressed the button, "I request that my son Gaara and Uchiha Sasuke fight in this match. It would be disappointing since the people came all the way to see him disqualified."

Kankuro said, "Father never called Gaara his son ever in his life….it is no mistake, he is really dead."

Naruto said, "You will spread the word to your sensei and give him this recorder to play to the Sand forces. You will leave Gaara to me since he is unstable, so act naturally until the signal is given….if you harm any of my friends, I'll kill you."

The two slowly nodded, then Genma shouted, "We will push Uchiha-san's match back and begin the next one. Will Sabaku no Kankuro and Aburame Shino please come down?"

Kankuro thought, "So…if I wanted to get ready for the 'mission', I would have to forfeit the match since it doesn't matter, but I am going to have to buy time for a while."

Genma moved on the wall to change the scenery and the platform flipped over to make it a forest clearing. The two boys came down and faced each other. "Okay, Shino Aburame vs. Sabaku no Kankuro, fight!" The Aburame and Suna Nin jumped back to give them some distance, then Kankuro slowly reached for his package, "Kugutsu no Jutsu!"

He pulled the strap and the bandages fell to reveal Karasu, clicking ominously. Shino slowly had his kikaichu bugs moved all over his body, "I am a member of the Aburame clan…our policy is to never underestimate our opponents no matter how small they are and to fight with our full strength."

Kankuro growled, "Bring them on."

Kankuro moved Karasu towards Shino and with a flick of his fingers, a hidden blade in its wrist popped out, surprising Shino. The Aburame heir moved away to see the blade sink into the tree behind him. Shino looked at the blade to see that the area surrounding the blade changed into a light purple color.

"The blade is laced with poison." He thought, "I must be careful for any more surprises."

Kankuro maneuvered his puppet to attack Shino again. Shino dodged the next hidden blade in the puppet's left wrist and then moved into the trees for cover. Kankuro stated, "It's no use!" He had the puppet followed Shino into the brush while the Aburame sat in silence, only hearing the constant chattering and clicking of the puppet.

Kasumi said, "This fight looks like it will go either way."

Ino said, "What do you mean, Kasumi?"

Kasumi said, "The Aburame clan is known for their kikaichu, bugs that feed off of chakra. Normally they are trackers or capturers to detain people from attacking, they are mainly long-range fighters. The one with the puppet is also a long-range fighter, but he has many flaws in short range attacks. Shino with his bugs and Kankuro with his puppet, Karasu will be a tough match to call."

Vergil said, "It seems that neither of them have the upper hand in the fight."

Kankuro found Shino and sent Karasu after him, activating his ribbed blades in the puppet. Shino threw two kunai at it to stop it and the puppet poofed to reveal a log.

"Kawarimi?!" Shino said.

Then he looked down and dodged it by jumping up in the open air, but Karasu followed after him. "Heh, you are making this way too easy." Kankuro said as he twitched his ring finger and middle finger. The puppet opened its mouth to shoot out two small knives. It hit Shino in his torso and shoulder dead on, making Kankuro pump his fist up, "That did it!"

Suddenly Shino dissolved into a group of kikaichu bugs, making Kankuro shout in shock, "Huh? Those bugs again?!" Kankuro's eyes widened as he felt a presence behind him. Just in time, he turned to see Shino aim a punch at him, but the young puppet master ducked swiftly and moved away from him.

He shouted, "So you made a Bug Clone and snuck up behind. Very clever, Aburame!"

Shino stated, "It is simple really, I could tell that your strength is long ranged, not close combat. Furthermore, you have to focus all of your chakra and attention to control that little puppet of yours, which leaves your defense wide open."

Kankuro smirked, "Thanks for the tip, but I am just getting started. If you think that it's the extent of my deadly ninjutsu, then you are in for a real treat. You haven't seen half of what Karasu can do! So far, he has been playing it safe!"

Kankuro reactivated his chakra strings and made Karasu open his elbow joints. Shino backed up in surprise as little purple balls of poison fog were blasted at him. Shino jumped onto a higher branch and then suddenly felt weak, "Ugh, must have inhaled some of the poison smoke. Meanwhile the attacker hides in waiting for the poison to take effect."

Kankuro smirked as he saw Shino panting heavily due to the poison's effect, "The poison is slowly spreading through his system, now it is time to end this."The puppet slowly came up behind Shino and activated its hidden blade, Shino turned around only to be slashed by Karasu, but the Aburame turned out to be another Bug Clone.

"These damn bugs…he should even be moving with that poison in his body." Kankuro thought as he tensed up, searching for a sign of the Aburame. Then he found him, hiding under the tree branch, "Ah, there you are! Allow me to put you out of your misery." Kankuro flicked his fingers only to for the puppet to creak and resist his commands, "Wha-What the?! What is going on? What is wrong with it?" he thought.

Then he noticed some bugs crawling in and out of the joints. Shino said, "It's no use....you can't move it now, I ordered the bugs to jam every one of its joints."

Kankuro thought, "So that was what he was after, he wanted me to attack him so he can get Karasu to stop moving. Now those creepy crawlies are going after my chakra strings, I forgot that those things eat chakra and the strings are leading them right to me."

Kankuro snapped his connection and fling it, making the chakra strings flicker in random directions to confuse Shino of his location. "He severed the strings himself…damn, so close." Shino thought as his eyebrows furrowed.

Then the Aburame moved from his location and Kankuro detached the head, "What a sucker, he doesn't know that I can reestablish connections to my puppet quickly, which is why I am an expert puppeteer and…so what if you took out Karasu's body, I don't need it since every part of him is a lethal weapon."

Karasu's mouth opened to reveal a large needle dripping with poison. "Looks like you underestimated me, bug boy for the last time… that poison is enough to knock out an elephant, you're finished."

Shino gritted his teeth as he faced the needle head on, but suddenly the head stopped inches above his forehead and dropped to the ground. "What? But how did he…." Kankuro began to think until he felt something crawling on his hand. He looked down to see the beetles all over his hand. "His beetles, they are eating the chakra strings right at the source…."

Kankuro broke his cover, screaming as bugs slowly covered his body. "But…I don't understand, I made sure to cut the strings before they could find me."

Shino replied, "To answer your question, you were so worried about the beetles in the front that you never noticed the ones approaching you from behind. All this time….they were converging to the beacon on your headband."

Kankuro said, "To my what?"

Shino said, "When I swung at you earlier, I purposefully missed to plant a beetle on your headband….a female beetle, which lets out pheromones so the males can pick up the scent and converge on it like a homing beacon."

Kankuro looked up on his headband, "So this….beetle on my hitai-ate is a….."

Shino said, "Correct, a female beetle."

Then Shino dropped to the floor and Genma said, "Due to double knockout, neither Shino Aburame nor Sabaku no Kankuro advances." The medics got Kankuro and Shino, who needed more treatment for the poison, but Kankuro gave them a fast-acting antidote discreetly and Kankuro was given a solider pill.

Next, the scenery changed back to its normal state and Temari jumped down, riding on her fan.

Genma said, "Well, you're eager. Oi, Shikamaru, get down here!"

Shikamaru thought, "What the hell? My match is now! Man, maybe I should forfeit."

Suddenly Naruto kicked Shikamaru over the railing, making the shadow user fall unceremoniously on the ground. Shikamaru said, "Naruto…when I see you, I am kicking your ass."

Temari said, "C'mon, get up! Are you going to just lie down all day?"

Shikamaru thought, "I got stuck with a girl again?"

Temari ran at him, "If you won't come, then I will!"

Genma said, "Hey, the match hasn't started!"

Temari didn't hear him and crashed the iron fan on Shikamaru, but the lazy boy quickly took out two kunai and embedded into the wall behind him.

"You know…" she looked up to see Shikamaru standing on top of the kunai with his hands in his pockets, "I hate to fight and I don't care about being Chunin, but I can't stand losing to a woman. So I'll guess I will take you on." He said with a grin

Temari smirked as she opened her fan and blew a wind strike at him. Smoke billowed and Temari looked in the corner of her eye, "Well, he's great at running."

Kankuro said, "Your lazy friend is going to get killed."

Naruto shook his head, "No, Shikamaru may be lazy, but he hides his potential. He is able to think ahead at every possible situation and makes strategical moves against his opponents…but most likely he is going to win, but quit."

Kankuro said, "I bet against that…..500 Ryo!"

Naruto smirked, "Deal!"

Temari thought, "Okay, he is a ninja that uses shadows and probably trying to lure me into the trees….Iike I will fall for that."

Shikamaru lazily thought, "Oh man, those clouds are lucky…so free. I really don't feel like doing this. I just became a ninja so I wouldn't be bothering….but I suppose…that things are not that simple."

Temari thought, "What the hell? Is he mocking me with that smile of his?"

She shouted, swinging her fan, "Ninpou: Kamaitachi no Jutsu!" The wind blew harshly in the arena. Tenten thought, "That move was the one that knocked Kiba out cold. Shikamaru has his hands full."

Suddenly a shadow line appeared, rushing toward Temari, who moved quickly backwards until the shadow started to shrink. "Heh, there is a limit to how much you can shrink, stretch or change your shadow, isn't there. You can't stretch it any further than your normal shadow's surface area no matter how you change it."

Shikamaru chuckled, "That's right."

Temari then closed her fan and measured the distance, "15 meters and 32 centimeters. He can use other shadows, but he can't control them, so he is using the shaded area to increase his length. But unfortunately no matter if he goes to the edge, the length will be the same."

Kankuro said, "Temari is better at long-range fighting, this match is over."

Naruto smiled, "Nope, not yet!"

Shikamaru crouched and form his thinking pose.

Naruto said, "Even thought his grades were as bad as mine, he often said that he was too lazy to pick up his pencil to write, but he loves to play shogi a lot. Whenever he gets in a tight spot, he assumes that pose…..his sensei Asuma gave him a IQ test in shogi form and found out that his IQ…is over 200, he is a freaking genius."

Kankuro said, "So he might win, not quit."

Naruto answered, "We will see, he is out of his pose now."

Temari commented, "So it looks like you are finally getting serious now. Ninpou: Kamaitachi!" Shikamaru moved to cover in the trees and took off his shirt. "It is no use trying to hide! Stop running or give up!"

Suddenly two kunai were thrown, Temari dodged only to get in the path of another. She blocked it with her fan and a series of explosions were sounded in front and behind her. "He attached explosive tags!" she thought, "He is trying to distract me!"

Then Shikamaru's shadow sprang in action. Temari thought, "Nice try, but your shadow can't pass this line….wait, hold on….aw, shit!"The shadow, sure enough, passes over the line, making the wind user sprang backwards yet again.

"I see…." She stated, "You used those kunai as distractions to keep me occupied while the sun moves, giving me more leverage. This should be your limit now."

Shikamaru said nothing, staring at her and Kankuro shouted, "Temari, above you!"

She looked up to see a makeshift parachute made out of Shikamaru's shirt and a kunai attached to the bottom of it.

"Sonova…." Temari cursed as she dodged the growing shadow.

"You will not escape!" Shikamaru declared.

Temari moved as she thought, "Impressive….using the kunai to distract me from his shadow and then using his shadow to distract me from looking up and noticing the parachute…..but it's clear to me now."

The shadow stopped and receded back a bit, so Temari stopped and flipped open her fan and placed it in front of her, "I need to finish this quickly, his shadow will move farther as the sun moves, so I will use Bunshin no Jutsu, which will draw his attention to it. Then I will jump out and use all my chakra into the strongest possible Kamaitachi to rip him apart. Now where is his shadow…good, it's nowhere near me." Temari thought, "Initiating attack...Bunshin no…"

Suddenly she froze and thought, "W-What? I-I'm frozen?"

Shikamaru sprang his hands apart, "Finally Kagemane no Jutsu success."

Temari said, "B-But your shadow was nowhere near me…how did you get me?"

Shikamaru said, "I let you look behind you."

He turned his head and Temari under his jutsu's spell did the same. Temari's eyes widened as she saw a hole behind her and sure enough, his shadow connecting to hers. "When you used the Kamaitachi Jutsu, you loosed some of the gravel in where Neji was at… thus I used those kunai wrapped with a explosive tag with a little extra kick, making a hole in front and the back of you. The two made a tunnel and then I Iured you over to this spot with all of those distractions and failed successions like my little puppet."

Temari gritted her teeth while Shikamaru said, "Checkmate!"

Kankuro said, "He won, looks like I win the bet with his next move."

Naruto said, "Wait for it!"

Ino shouted, "Go!"

Choji munched ferociously as Shikamaru and Temari walked towards each other, then they both raised their hands as the shadow wielder said, "That's it….I quit."

Kankuro and Ino said, "Huh?"

Naruto held out his hand, "Pay up, bitch!"

Shikamaru said, "Those failed successions used up my chakra. I had thought up over 200 moves and I'm getting tired of this, one match is enough for me. Plus I can only hold you for about five more minutes."

Genma shouted, "Winner: Sabaku no Temari!"

Shikamaru's shadow moved back to him and Temari looked at him. Naruto Air Tricked down and nodded to Temari, who left immediately along with Kankuro to notify Baki of Orochimaru's treachery. The Jinchuuriki walked to Shikamaru, "Nice job, Shikamaru. Here is 500 Ryo for your troubles."

Shikamaru said, raising his eyebrow, "You bet on me quitting."

Naruto nodded, "Yeah, I did…I know you would be too lazy to continue to another match. I can't believe you keep our old defective explosive tags."

Shikamaru said, "Memories of our pranking days….good times, good times. Plus they have served their purpose."

Suddenly leaves began to fall down and swirl in the center to reveal Sasuke and Kakashi standing back to back in the midst of the falling leaves.

"Mine/Naru-kun's was better." Hinata, Naruto, Kasumi and Tenten thought.

Arena Door- "Oh, Gai-san, Lee-san, you're finally here. The match between Sabaku no Gaara and Uchiha Sasuke will begin shortly."

Lee asked, "Wait…what happened to Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga's match?"

The two chunin looked at each other and busted out laughing up a storm, "A-Actually it's Naruto Namikaze S-Sparda and man, that match was h-hilarious….but the Hyuga lost big time and did a tribute by performing a copy of Secondary Lotus move, but he made sure that he said the move was copyrighted by the Konoha Green Beasts and making Neji wearing your….uniform and realizing his flames of youth." One of them said between laughs.

Lee and Gai were shocked at the revelation and moved quickly to find Naruto.

Arena-Genma said, "Your name?" Sasuke was dressed in a one piece body suit with the Uchiha sign on his back. His left arm was covered with bandages and a black spiral surrounding it just like his legs. His hair was a bit longer and ended near the tip of his chin.

"Uchiha….Sasuke." he said.

Naruto said, "You showed up."

Sakura said, "Is that…."

Lee said, walking up, "Yep, it is Sasuke, Sakura-chan."

Sakura said, "Ah, Lee-san. Oh, this is Vergil Sparda and Kasumi, Naruto's cousin and friend."

Vergil nodded and Kasumi bowed to Lee, "Nice to finally meet you, Lee. Naruto had told me nothing but great things about you….I'm sorry that your arm and leg are crushed."

Lee's eyes were downcast for a moment, but then he smiled, "It is okay, I will be fine…Kasumi-san." Kasumi placed a hand on his shoulder to discreetly to transfer a light green chakra into his arm.

Lee immediately felt his leg and arm's pain leave him and moved his fingers, "Wh-What did you do?"

Kasumi smiled, "Me, nothing? Nothing at all."

Lee was confused and whispered, "Arigotou gozaimasu." Lee broke the cast to Gai and Sakura's shock.

Gai said, "Lee, your injuries…."

Lee said, "My arm and leg, they feel better and yet different."

Gai looked at Kasumi, who was looking at Naruto, "Whoever this lady is….there is more to her." Sasuke said, "Well, I can't disappoint my fans….most of the village came to see me fight. I take it you won the first match."

Naruto said, "Naturally….be careful. You already made Sakura worry by being late and I am pretty sure I can't make another one of you."

Sasuke said, "Got it."

Naruto grabbed Shikamaru and Air Tricked back up into the stands while Gaara moved down the stairs, soon Kakashi followed them. "Kyaaa!! Sasuke-kuuunnnn!" Ino squealed.

"Already forgot about us, huh, Ino?" Naruto said.

Ino had the decency to give him a sheepish smile, then the Jinchuuriki looked at Lee and assumed the Nice Guy pose. "Hey, Lee, nice of you to join us. Your arm and leg…"

Lee returned the pose, "Thanks, Naruto-kun, sorry I miss your youthful match and my injuries….let's just say that you have amazing friends."

Naruto thought, "Kasumi-chan….thanks."

Kasumi blushed, "It was nothing….Naru-kun." (A/N: They still have the mental link to each other) Naruto waved his hand, dismissing Lee's apology, "Hey, no sweat, somebody was bound to record it anyway. Now let's watch the match."

Hakureisaiga- Finally, we are near the end of the Chunin Exam Arc. Sarutobi knows that Orochimaru is next to him and Dante & Nero are nearby. The Unholy Alliance has planned to give Orochimaru a helping hand and Suna knows of Orochimaru's treachery. Will Kasumi confess her feelings? How will Naruto save Tayuya? How will he deal with Gaara? All of these questions will be answered in the next chapter of The Destiny of Sparda's Descendant

Dante- That slithering bastard has been alive for too long, it is time to end his existence

Naruto- Yeah, but somehow I have a feeling he will come back

Vergil- That is true, Orochimaru never like death at all

Hakureisaiga- Before we go, here is the omake I promised

Omake- Neji's Humiliation

After the Chunin Exams, Neji's body was healed up in about 7 weeks. Neji said, "Finally I can move again….time to go home and apologize for my actions."

As soon as he walked out of the room, he was ambushed by his fanclub, his screams were muffled as his clothes were ripped from his body and well, practically….he was raped by the Neji fanclub. (A/N: Aren't you glad that Tenten is not part of the Neji Fanclub anymore)

Neji was put in the hospital for another 2 weeks and had to attend a psychiatrist to work over the mental trauma of fangirl rape. Neji had to borrow a doctor's coat to pose as one and avoided the rabid species, Homo Fangirlus.

When the coast was clear, Neji moved quickly to his home, but he was stopped by the Spandex Wearing Men of Doom, Rock Lee and Maito Gai.

"What is all this about, Sensei, Lee?" Gai said, "Neji-kun, you have found your springtime of youth, it is youthful that you decided to join our cause."

Neji said, "What cause?" Gai replied in the Nice Guy pose, "To unite the world in the basking glory of youth!" Lee pulled out a green spandex suit which was eerily in Neji's size.

"Oh hell…." Neji said as he tried to run, but he was caught and dragged into the forest, "NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Next thing, he knew he was found in the fetal position by one of his fangirls after being hugged in Gai and Lee's still unbreakable genjutsu. Once again, the Hyuga was stuck in the hospital for mental trauma….again and had to see a psychiatrist…again.

A month later, Neji found that people were staring and laughing at him, but he couldn't figure out why. He was at home where he found one of the elders laughing his ass off while facing the computer. Neji moved into the room and looked at the computer to see that somebody uploaded a video of his ass being kicked and his humiliation. Neji fainted and thought, "Oh, bugger…."

Neji vowed to never piss off Naruto or hurt Hinata again less he should face humiliation again only it would be ten times worse.

Hakureisaiga- There! Now I'm done! Next chapter- Devil Desert: The Operation Begins!!

Kasumi- Ja Ne!
