Grim Reaper of Iwa
Chapter 19
Ugh….sorry for the long update but I haven't been getting much sleep. Why? Well first was the damnable cricket outside my window that would NOT stop chirping for hours on end and it seemed like it would just keep on getting louder at some points. AND then the Thermostat broke so when it get hot outside, it gets hotter inside! No, we can't fix it because it will cost 700 bucks and my uncle grew up with no cold air, so he is fine with that shit….the rest of us…not so much. I hate summer.

The general of the Samurai stood stock still as he observed the arena. Everything was as it should be. The ground was flat, the occasional tree intact, and all five contestants were standing a straight line for the crowds to see.
Everything was as it should be.
On the outside anyway. Mifune was mad. He spent all night fixing his damn place with his men and when he comes home, he finds that his daughter is having a threesome with the two Iwa ninja. Now, he knew about their relationship and he approved of it.
It was just…he was not ready to let her go damnit! Manly tears rolled down his face as he thought it was way too early to let his baby girl go! It was just not fair! He wanted more time!
"Is something the matter Lord Mifune?" Mei, the Mizukage asked from the side, noticing the tears.
"It is just not fair." He whispered, catching the attention of the other kage. "Kid grow up to fast nowadays, it sucks!"
Sarutobi blinked rapidly at watching this normally stoic man cry and complain. It must have been monumental to cause this. Plus….who knew the man had a soft spot for kids. "My I ask what happened."
Mifune nodded. They had a few more minutes before he had to announce the start of the exam final rounds. "She fell in love with your student, Tsuchikage, even before the exams. I helped the boy out with his arm after Itachi Uchiha cut it off." At this, Sarutobi's eyes widen, but he would ask about it later.
"So, during his stay, she comforted him and gave him some advice since she underwent the same procedure to save her own life. That is when she cemented herself in his life." The man said solemnly. "I know about your little plan Tsuchikage and while I can get behind it, I am still pissed that my child has grown up so fast!"
"What happened?" Onoki asked, fearing the answer.
Mifune turned to them fully and they notices his tear stained face. The emotions on it running from pride to a child he fathered growing up, sadly to see that they grew up way to fast or in some cases, at all, and finally fatherly rage. That made Mei widen her eyes in excitement.
"I found her in a threesome with your student and your granddaughter." Mifune cried.
Sarutobi gaining a gawking look on his face as the perverted old man tried to picture the event in his mind, gaining a nosebleed and a goofy smile. Hey, he training Jiriaya when he was younger, some of that Super Perverseness had to rub off on someone. Plus, he had all of Jiriaya books and he tried to join his student in his research when they were younger. So yes, The Hokage of Konoha was a major pervert.
A, the Raikage gave a good impression of a fish before he roared in uncontrollable laughter.
Mei also gaining a blush on her face, wondering how good the young blond son of the late Fourth Hokage was.
The Kazekage blinked owlishly before shaking his head and chuckling to himself, but inside, he was feeling the same fatherly rage due to the fact that Temari had feelings for Naruto as well. And once their alliance with Iwa was complete, she would live with him.
The Tsuchikage was just gawking at the fact that Naruto finally got the balls to be with his granddaughter and then have sex with her. Then came the fatherly and grandfatherly feelings that most fathers had. He knew his son in law, Kitsuchi, was not going to be happy.
Still, Mifune was right!
So the two old men embraced in a manly hug, the Kazekage bringing a rage induced fist next to his face as tears ran down his face as well, and the three of them shouted out, "IT'S NOT FAIR!"
This just made A roar even louder in laughter as he pounded his chair, almost losing his breath while Sarutobi chuckled along with Mei, but the red head was rolling her eyes as well.
None of them bothered to question either the Samurai General or the Tsuchikage on what Mifune meant about Onoki's plan.

The crowds were wondering what the hell was going up in the Leader Box to make them shout and laugh like that. However, Naruto hung his head a bit as he had a feeling he knew what was going on up there.
They were planning his assassination…or at least someone was.
"Do I even want to know what is so funny up there that is making Naruto shake like a leaf?" Suzumebachi asked.
Kurotsuchi gained a pervert smile and said, "Depends…can you handle the topic of sex?"
"Yeah….why?" Suzumebachi asked before she put together a few things. Haku's tiredness as he glared at Naruto all morning while Guren giggled every few minutes, Kurotsuchi AND Misa's limping in the morning until Tsunade healed them with a smirk, and various other little things including a rage fueled Mifine. "No way!"
"Way," Kurotsuchi replied.
Suzumebachi gained her own perverse look and asked, "So, how was it?"
"Mind blowing."
"Oh? Now I really need to step up my game." Fu replied with a pervert grin of her own.
Gaara just stood there stoically for a moment before he sighed and patted Naruto on the back. "Good with that my friend."
"Gee…thanks." Naruto replied, a little annoyed.

After the Kages and the Samurai General calmed down, Mifune got a hold of himself and announced the beginning of the finals. "Welcome back everyone!" He shouted, inciting the crowd with cheers. "Now we shall begin with the first round for today, but I must say this before we begin. It seems that after watching everyone battle, Suzumebachi has decided to forgo her position, saying that she does not have the power to take any of them on."
XXX
A murmur went through the crowds, most in understanding while others, not so much. "OH COME ON!" Guren shouted before sighing. Truth be told, she was the strongest on her team with Akatsuchi a close second. Guren knew that Suzumebachi was no that strong, but she made up for it with her traps and her brain. While not on par with a Nara, it was still impressive.
"Really? You're pulling out?" Kurotsuchi asked, a bit disappointed.
"Yeah, I am lucky I got this far. I thought all this through last night. While I am not as smart as a freaking Nara, I thought all about each battle I would have with any one of you and I lost horribly to you all."
"I see." Kurotsuchi replied, finally getting it.
XXX
"So with that, I have decided to do something different, the final contestants shall…" Mifune paused for a moment, a slight smirk on his lips as he saw that he had everyone on the edge of their seats. "fight in a free for all. All four with fight each other at the same time. The reason for this is because like in war, many things all going on all at once and you must watch your surroundings as well as your opponent. Good luck."
XXX
Misa's eye twitched in annoyance before sighing. "Ok this will be an all battle between the four of you. Begin!" She said before she once more ran off the field. After watching yesterday's battle with them, she knew they would wreck this field.
Naruto eyed each of his opponents, waiting for each of them to make a move. If they were start they would all come at him at once since he was the strongest out of the four of them. Thankfully they didn't do that because Kurotsuchi made the first move and rushed Fu. That last Naruto fighting Gaara once again.
"So, just us again, huh? Let's see if you stepped up your game from last time." Naruto stated.
"I have!" Gaara shouted as the wind whipped around him. "Sand Style: Quicksand Waterfall Flow!"
Naruto felt the ground shake violently as he also noticed the ground buckle and break a bit, while also looking like less was there. When he looked up, he saw a huge wall of sand converging on him. "Well…shit." Was his reply as it crash down on his small form.
For a moment, all was dead quiet….except for the other battle, but even that was quiet compared to this. Then, all hell broke loose. The sand blew apart as he flew into the air followed by jet streams of black flames. "Blaze Style: Hellfire Blast!"
"Did not expect that." Gaara said to himself as he saw standing exactly where the sand had crashed down on him, only in place of some of the sand was quickly melting glass. Another thing he took notice of was the blond's eyes. They were in the form of the Sharingan, something many knew about already, but they were more advanced. Instead of the simple form everyone knows, it was a very intricate design. Not good.
Gaara decided a little help was necessary. So he called out his clone jutsu and out of the sand, over 50 sand clones arose and charged the blond.
"Oh, this will be fun!" Naruto declared as he went in.

For a while now, Fu and Kurotsuchi had engaged in hand to hand combat, but it was not cutting it. So the Iwa Kunoichi decided to make things more interesting by using second part of her special taijutsu. Explosions.
Kurotsuchi's fists started to glow and went she hit Fu, there was a small explosion that knocked the green haired girl away.
"The hell was that!?" Fu shouted as she stood back up.
"My special Taijutsu style called the Explosion Fist. With each hit, I can create a mini explosion that can range from small concussive blasts like you just experienced or full on earth shaking explosions!" The Iwa Kunoichi declared. "Observe!" She shouted as he punched the sand, creating a small chain reaction of explosions to occur.
Fu grimaced. The sand was actually helping her opponent and not her. She was at a disadvantage because of that, but she had other plans. She could use her special powder to create more explosions or she could use two of the gifts she got from her tailed beast. Why not all three! She thought as she dodged the explosions sent her way by jumping high in the air while releasing the powder once more.
The explosions that Kurotsuchi was still creating were enough of a catalyst to ignite the powder, creating the needed smoke filled cover that Fu needed. She tapped in her demon's chakra, creating wings on her back before taking to the air. She knew that she wasn't going to hit Kurotsuchi on the first strike, but this should be enough to spook the girl. So diving bombing the ground, she unleashed her enhanced strength on the ground, creating a shockwave to ripple through the ground.
Kurotsuchi first heard the buzzing of insect wings and wondered what the hell Fu was doing before the ground shook violently. This put her on high alert. As the buzzing sound returned, her eyes widened as she figured out what was going on. Fu was using her demon's chakra to create wings like a bug's and using the smoke and dust as cover to hit her with whatever was causing the booms.
She got her answer as to what was the cause of the earthshaking booms when Fu landed a few feet from her in a divebomb, hitting the ground with a punch that one again shook and broke the ground.
"Holy crap, this is bad!" Kurotsuchi said aloud, catching Fu attention, who then rushed her faster that she could see and smacked her in the air, right towards a strange structure of sorts in the middle of Naruto and Gaara's battle!
XXX back to Naruto and Gaara's battle…a few minutes before.
The blond dodged and weaved between the sand made clones of Gaara, trying to find the original while using his scythe to slash away the clones, which seemed to reform after he defeated them. It was annoying as hell and he now knew how his opponents felt when he did the same thing.
"Argh! Now I know how this feels! Blaze Style: Swirling Inferno!" He shouted as he lit his scythe on fire before twirling it around as he attacked. When he was done, the area looked gruesome. It was all melting glass with the clones of Gaara all frozen in place, looking like deformed statues.
Gaara saw this and knew he had to do something without going full Shukaku on Naruto, whom he knew could still beat him. After all, it happened last time and Naruto knew how to do it. "Very well," Gaara said aloud as he thrust his arms out and his remaining sand rushed to the melting glass field, swallowing it back up as Naruto looked on, unimpressed. The massive amount of sand spun around Gaara before he put up a hand. It rushed to that spot, forming an absurdly large spear of pure sand.
"Fall by the Supreme Spear of Shukaku!" Gaara announced as he pushed forward, sending the construct at Naruto.
One Naruto saw the formation of the spear, he knew he was in trouble. The blond figured he could just use Real Genjutsu to turn into black smoke to dodge the attack, but that was getting old and would get him nowhere. So he created a clone, formed a Rasengan and had it add an element to it.
In his hand was the end result. It was a pinkish swirling sphere of intense heat. He was not very good with this this element at first, but he had managed to replicate it to his needs and he knew this was going to do a lot of damage, even if he down powered it so as to not kill his friend.
As the large spear flew towards him, he thrust out his out arm and yelled, "Scorch Style: Rasenyuukai!"
When the mini star hit the spear, it exploded outwards, engulfing the spear as the pinkish white fire and burning hot sand rushed to Gaara, swirling around him in a pinkish white pillar of heat and pain, Gaara screaming the entire time.

"Good god that hot!" A roared as he felt the flames from up in the Leader's Box.
"I agree, but I didn't know Naruto had succeeded in recreating the Scorch Release." The Kazekage stated.
"Neither did i. He never used it in our spars." Onoki stated.
"It is impressive nonetheless." Mei replied with big eyes.
"Indeed." Sarutobi sighed, feeling another pang of regret. Naruto could have been great in his village.
XXX
"Damn. Kid really did manage to recreate my style. Didn't actually think he could do it." Pakura replied from her seat next to Temari.
"Well, you obviously underestimated him….we all did." Temari replied with a wide smirk.
XXX
"Aw man that is hot shit!" Kiba roared as he backed up a bit from the torrent of flames.
Ino was sweating a lot, but that didn't stop her from making a joke. "Well Hinata, I knew you thought he was hot stuff before, but now he is scorching hot!"
XXX
"Damn brat, first it is cold here and now it is hot as hell." Tsunade said, sweating a lot. Turning to her heavily pregnant student, she asked, "Shizune, are you and the baby ok?"
"I am fine, but I think the little one will be ready after these exams." Shizune replied.
"I see, that is good news." Tsunade replied happily before the two of them turned back to the battle, the flaming tower finagling dying down.

As Naruto walked over to the fire born structure, he took notice that Gaara did look to be in pain, a few burnt patches of skin here and there, but not that damaged as he was frozen in place in the structure.
That is when he finally felt the tremors and turned just in time to see Kurotsuchi sailing into the structure, right were Gaara was. The resulting impact shattered the fire born structure as Kurotsuchi and Gaara fell to the group.
Naruto saw that if they did not move and fast, then the structure would fall on top of them. However, they looked pretty out of it, so he decided to help them, after all. They were his friends and he was not aiming to kill them. So activating his special Sharingan that he had been training in, he called out, "Kamui."
The result was a swirl in the air that sucked in all of the toppling structure with ease, making it seem like it was never there to begin with.
"Impressive." Fu said from above. "But it won't stop me!" She roared as she dive bombed the blond, who merely stood there with a smirk before bursting into black smoke, using it to constrict her movements.
"What was that Fu-chan, hmmm?" Naruto's voice range out in mirth.
"Argh!" Fu growled before sand enveloped them both.
They looked to see that Gaara was back on his feet, panting heavily "You….could…have…..killed me!"
"But I didn't. "Naruto stated. "I de powered the Fusion Ball considerably because I was not aiming to kill you, just take you out of the game."
"Ugh….it hurt like hell." Gaara groaned as his sand failed, releasing the two.
"I am with you on that sandy. The impact was not pretty." Kurotsuchi groaned, a little out of it as well. Using the Explosion Fist was chakra consuming and the impact hurt like hell!
Naruto looked sadly at his friends. He needed to end this quickly. What could I use? Izanami's Shadow? A summon? Susanoo?
"Use the Susanoo. I want to try something." Kurama's voice rang out.
Kurama? I haven't heard from you in awhile.
"You didn't need my help and you battles were boring to me, so I slept. However, with the use of your Sharingan, I want to try something, so call upon the Susanoo!"
"Ok…I am ending this now!" Naruto called out.
"We'll see about that!" Fu declared as she called upon more of the demonic chakra, going up to 3 tails with of power.
"Susanoo!" Naruto and Kurama called out. The result was much different than expected. Instead of the skeletal specter, an ethereal version of Kurama appeared. The fox's torso appeared around Naruto, protecting him from harm while the rest of the Tailed Beast towered above the three contestants. "What do you have planned?"
"A quick way for you to end this." Kurama declared as he brought up his giant paws and put them together, forming a huge ball of chakra in the air. This made everyone sweat. This was something no one expected. Especially when the giant ball began to swirl like the rasengan, making the three back up as far as they could. "Tailed Beast Rasengan!"
Kurama let the ball fall and with it, pure destruction ensued. The entire floor of the arena was once again utterly decimated. The swirling wind brew around the loose ground like it was nothing and knocked the three other contestants away and into the walls of the arena, knocking them all out.
When all was said and done, Naruto stood in the middle of a giant crater in the arena floor, his Kyuubified Susanoo gone.
Misa sweat dropped again at the devastation that Naruto's attack once more caused. "Well, you all should know this, but Naruto has won again and this means that he has one the Chunin Exams!"
Once more the crowd went wild.
Naruto was just glad that Kurama had enough sense to de power that last attack as well or his friends would have died. Still, it made him wonder what his real Susanoo would look like

All I needed was a couple good nights' rest. So I hoped you liked that last chapter. I soooooo wanted to the Chunin Exams to be done with, so I did this.
Also, Rasenyuukai means Spiraling Fusion.
I have to go home now….REVIEW!
