Naruto: Damn it, I thought you weren't going to pit me against Kiba.
SK: I never said that, I just said you were going to be surprised.
Naruto: That's true. But why Kiba.
SK: He's actually pretty good if you watch the way he does everything.
Kitsune: I bet Naruto is better, of course you wrote him that way.
SK: You bet I did, Haku the disclaimer please.
Haku: Sparda-kun owns nothing but his own oc's, now I really want to know what is going to happen between me and Naruto.
*A door swings in the wind via SK running out it.*
Last time on Kyuubi Spirit...
With that the screen came to life and started to filter names. the first name to appear was Samui, the second was Kiba, and finally it was Naruto.
"If everyone else would please leave the stadium floor. Since it is a 3 man free-for-all, we shall have two proctors. Your proctor's for this round are Haku Zabuza and Mizu Ryu Zabuza. Let's have a good match and a clean victory." with that Sarutobi sat down.
Each ninja and their partner took a place marked on the arena floor. Haku raised her hand, looking between the three ninjas to make sure they were ready. "Begin." she flung her hand down and jumped out of the way.
Kyuubi Spirit continues...
As the cheers from the stadium began to rouse 9 people in black kominos walked through the village gate.
One of the females looked at a young male in the group, "I want to go see him, I need to know he is all right."
The male looked back at her, "Not yet, I'm sorry mother. We can't let him know that I saved you."
The female looked down, "After we capture that snake bastard for this, we'll be able to go home?"
The male smiled, "That's right, we have to capture the snake first. Then we'll go see Sasuke."
Konan nodded to the group. With that 7 of the group split off and went their seperate ways in the village. Konan looked at Yahiko, "May we go see him fight? You promised."
Yahiko looked at the blue haired kunoichi, smiling he took her hand. "I did promise, didn't I. I hope that Nagato (Pein) will be okay with this."
Konan nodded, "Don't worry, I gave him enough meds for the day. He'll be fine until tonight. I want to go see Naru-kun. Hurry, I think that huge explosion was him." She rushed off towards the arena.
Five minutes earlier...
"Begin" Haku yelled as she jumped out of the way.
Kiba smiled, "Akamaru, time for your meds." The mutt threw two food pills at the wolf-dog hybrid. Akamaru swallowed the pills, his fur grew thick and red. Growling he looked from Saumi to Naruto, he rushed Saumi.
Saumi started by throwing shurikens to back the hybrid off, she then flashed through a set of hand signs. Clapping her hands together, she pulled a long stream of lightning as she pulled her hands apart. She wrapped the stream around Akamaru's neck as he rushed forward. Akamaru howled and whimpered as the stream shocked him. "Shock collar activated, now be a good dog and stay down."
Meanwhile, Kiba had started in a full on tiajutsu match with Naruto. Naruto saw what was happening so he jumped back, putting distance between the two of them. He pulled out some smoke bombs and threw them at the Inuzaka, blinding him. He then pulled out some fingerless gloves with a heavy metal on the knuckles, sliding them on he knew that they were slightly heavier than his normal gloves. Slamming his fists together, the metal created a spark.
"Time to go boom, Thunder Storm!" Saumi yelled, throwing a giant lightning ball.
Naruto saw this and flashed through a set of hand signs, slamming his hand onto the ground. He brought up a wall between him and the ball of lightning. "Earth Ramparts!" (I'm just making the moves up, don't kill me.)
Naruto had to duck as the wall exploded. When he looked up he saw Saumi standing there with a smug look on her face.
"Is that all you really have, a half attempt from a mutt and a pathetic earth wall. I thought I would get more of a challenge." Saumi bragged to the two genins.
"We're just getting started sister." Kiba told the Cloud female. "Beast-man transformation!" Kiba started to grow and bulck up, his features turned more canine. (basically he was turning into a van helsing werewolf.)
"Oh, shit! Someone get the garlic and crosses!" Naruto yelled.
"You idiot, that's for vampires." Saumi told the knucklehead blonde.
Kiba growled and rushed the Cloud ninja. He knocked her back, turning he jumped at Naruto. Only problem was Naruto was swining his fist into Kiba's path.
'A small fist isn't going to stop me.' Kiba thought, wrong.
"Blitzkreg Hammer!" Naruto yelled, slamming his fist into Kiba's gut. Then he swung his other fist into his chest, making the giant lycanthrop fly back into the wall making it dent and crack. Naruto shook his hands, small sparks came off his gloves.
"It's like punching a brick wall. Good thing I learned that technique." Naruto told himself.
Kitsune was having a small tiajutsu match with Saumi, they had both pulled out kunias and were exchanging slashes.
Kitsune jumped back for a breather, "You're good blondie, to bad that we are even." (She's only using 10%)
Saumi smiled, try again. She pulled a wire she was holding, Kitsune fell down trapped by the wire. "Bolt." Saumi told herself and the wire became electrified. Kitsune yelled and squirmed from the heat.
Naruto looked over and saw Kitsune being electricuited. He started to rush over, only to be blocked by Kiba.
"We aren't done yet, Naruto." Kiba growed at him, the large lycan started punching the ninja. Naruto ducked and weaved as he ran to help his parnter, Akamaru was starting to stand from the electric shock he had recieved. He noticed Naruto dodging his master's punches, the hybrid rushed at Naruto. Naruto didn't even feel the hybrid until the animal's breath was in his face.
Naruto slid under the hybrid, kicking his foot out. He flung the animal into his master, both fell back onto the ground. Naruto then stood and turned to Saumi, who had stopped electicuiting Kitsune.
Naruto pulled off his gloves, and set them back into his pouch only to pull out his hand gauntlets. He slid them on and hammered them together, "Okay Saumi, it's just me and you now."
"Yes, it is cutie." Saumi smiled, she had pulled out tape as Naruto was changing his gear. She quickly wrapped it around her hands.
Naruto slammed his fist into his open hand creating foxfire, "Tiajutsu technique, Firefox. Technique step one... Rush!" He slammed his foot into the ground and took off at a high speed.
Saumi was surprised that he could move that fast, to bad for him she watched A practice all the time. So she could actually see him in normal speed.
*Up in the Kage box*
"Firefox, isn't that the move that..." A asked Sarutobi.
"It is. I'm suprised he was able to learn it in such a short time." Sarutobi told the two Kages.
The Kazakage was watching Naruto with more of a hunger, than spectating.
*Back on the floor*
Naruto slammed into her, only to see it was a medium sized hedgehog. He grabbed the hog and threw it into the air, only to have it flip around and land on his face.
"Ahhhhh, get this thing off me." Naruto exclaimed as he pulled and pushed at the hog, trying to get it off his face.
"Hahahaha, Storm get off him." Saumi told the hog, the hedgehog looked at Saumi then jumped off.
"Let's try that again." Naruto told the Cloud ninja.
"One last hit effort. If i hit you, I win. You hit me, you win. Deal?" Saumi asked the fire weilding ninja.
"Deal." Naruto smiled. Saumi blushed lightly, to light for anyone to see except A and Sarutobi and Naruto.
Naruto shook off the fire and put the gaunlets away. He then readied himself for the attack, Saumi smiled and rushed towards him. She drew her arm back and threw it forward, striking Naruto. Only she stopped when her hand went through Naruto, as he turned to water.
"Freezing blizzard!" Naruto yelled from the side. He blew a frozen water droplets from the clone onto Saumi, who when the move was finished was a frozen Cloud-sicle.
Haku jumped back into the arena, she moved over to Naruto. "The winner is Naruto Uzumaki."
Many of the dignitaries were writing in small books, some of the women in the stands were whispering, most of the people were cheering for the Number 1 Unpredictable Ninja.
"You stole my move didn't you?" Haku asked Naruto under her breath.
"No, just improved it." Naruto told the ice princess.
Naruto went over to Saumi and tapped the ice surrounding the Cloud ninja. Saumi fell into Naruto's arms as she dropped from the ice. He then went over to Kitsune and picked her up as well, setting her in his jacket. As she had turned into her fox form.
Looking down, he saw that Storm was looking up at him with tear filled eyes.
"Okay, hop on." Naruto told the hedgehog, Storm jumped onto Naruto's head.
As he exited the arena, he walked over to Kiba. Kicking him, Naruto stepped over the mutt. Kiba sat up and looked around, poor bastard just went unconsious through most of the match.
Naruto held Saumi bridal style until he got to the medical room, he then gently layed her on a bed. Saumi held onto his jacket until one of the doctors gently released her hand from the jacket.
A large tanned man with sunglasses came in to the medical room.
"Hey foxy, how you been. It' been a while since you'd seen." the man rhymed.
"KB, still trying to kill me with rhymes." Naruto told the man.
"Kill? Nah, more like spill." Killer B told the young man. He then turned serious, "You don't remember the promise, you made to her do you."
"I do. To bad she wasn't awake to recieve her part." Naruto told Killer B, as he looked at Saumi.
*Flashback to a 4 yr old Naruto*
Naruto was in a pillowcase with a rope wrapped around him. He sorted through a garbage can. The orphanage had thrown him out a week ago. As he sorted for his food, he heard cheering and yelling.
Naruto ran to the mouth of the alleyway, seeing a large parade going down the street to the Hokage Tower. He saw many floats go by, the only one he actually saw was the one with a ton of food on it.
Looking left then right, Naruto rushed into the street and hid under the float. Only after it had stopped did he peek out. A stood in front of the Hokage Tower with Killer B, a young blonde girl was next to them.
" It took us long enough, with you rapping and Saumi trying to pick up every baby creature we saw. I'm suprised we aren't dead." A told his adopted brother.
"Yo, don't worry about us. how about the little one that's behind, yes." Killer B rapped to his brother.
A looked at the float, seeing Naruto starting to eat a giant watermelon. A started laughing, "well, well. What's this."
Naruto looked up at the giant man, "Please, don't hurt me. I just wanted some food."
A looked at the boy in a concerned tone. "Why would I hurt you?"
"All the shopkeepers, except the ramen guy are mean to me. Look at the ouchies they left on me." Naruto told A, lifting his make-shift outfit. Naruto was covered in brusies, some were yellowing others were fresh.
Saumi saw these and rushed over, "You can have as much food as you want. We don't need it, Right A."
A looked down at the young girl. Smiling he waved at one of his men to bring a crate of food. Naruto looked at the food, he was timid because he always got rotten food, never fresh.
Saumi picked up an apple, "Here try it."
Naruto took the apple gently, he bit into it crunching the piece of fruit.
Naruto smiled, "Thank you. I need to take this home before people see me. They don't like me."
Saumi smiled and nodded, "I'll see you later okay."
Naruto looked at her, "Okay, and I return the favor with a kiss." (Peter-pan detail) Naruto drug the crate to his house.
A looked down at the young girl. "If you want, you can go see him tomorrow."
Saumi looked up at A, "really, thank you A." she jumped up and down happily.
For the next week while A and Sarutobi talked over the peace treaty, Saumi looked for Naruto. Everywhere she went, she asked everyone. But it was always the same, a scorned look, or anger in their eyes as they told her that they didn't know where he was.
Naruto had taken the food home, and was happily eating the fresh food. Three chunins had broken in and hurt him pretty bad. He was hospitalized, and his food was destroyed.
Naruto never forgot Saumi or her act of kindness. And Saumi never forgot the hurt and hungry Naruto.
*Flashback ends*
Naruto pulls an apple out of his ninja pouch and sets it next to Saumi. With that he left as Kiba was carried in via a strecher.
No one noticed that Saumi gently grabbed the apple and held it to her chest, she gently cried as she remembered the young boy. He was so big and handsome, not hurt or frightened like when she first met him. She smiled, when he had told Killer B that she didn't recieve her part of the promise. She would have to talk to A about staying around for a while.
Naruto had just gotten back into time to see Shino finish off the two ninjas he was pitted against.
(I'm just going to say that the next couple of fights were the same as the canon.)
shikamaru vs Kin vs Karui, Shika wins.
Ten-ten vs Temari vs extra ninja, Temari wins.
Kankuro vs two extra ninjas, kankuro wins.
Sasuke vs Omoi vs extra ninja, sasuke wins.
rock lee vs garaa vs extra ninja, poor rock lee. Garaa wins, but didn't destroy rock lee's bones like the canon.
Sakura vs ino (one on one due to moronic author not being able to count.) Draw, major stupid I love sasuke from ino and BSing from Sakura. They basically punched each other out.
Hinata's turn finally arrived and since the third ninja was out due to stomach cramps, she was fighting Neji in a head to head taijutsu match.
"Hello little cousin." Neji started, "You might as well give up, I will surpass you and the head family."
"Hello. I'm sorry Neji, I'll win this match." Hinata told the Hyuuga.
"I will win, because you are a scared little mouse. I have forseen this match and will deliver the blow that the Main house deserves. Now prepare yourself." Neji told Hinata as he rushed forward.
Hinata went to defend against the sudden attack only to drop to her knees, Neji had moved behind her and struck the nerve for balance.
"I told you, I will win. You can't do anything about it, fate has made it so." Neji told Hinata as he picked her up by her hair.
Naruto was seen clearly bending the bars at the edge of the arena. Kitsune put her hand on him, shaking her head gently.
"I know, I need her to fight her own battle. I just want to kill him so bad right now." Naruto told her.
"I know, but we need to let her grow. Otherwise she'll always be the weak girl she is now." Kitsune told her.
Hinata stood shakily, panting she formed Liquid Memory over her body. Neji smirked, "Trying to hide yourself from the world. You still the same Hinata that always ran."
Hinata smiled gently, "No cousin, I am not the scared little girl you knew. My love has taught me many things, I will protect my new family and any one precious to me. That's my nindo, my ninja way. I will also protect you from your own thoughtless acts."
Hinata rushed at Neji, dodging his blows that would have normally hit. Due to Liquid Memory Neji couldn't hit her in a straight blow.
Frowning he jumped back, he then stood while Hinata caught her breath.
"I see you have gotten stronger, it's probably due to that demon's help. I've seen you with him, fauning over him like he was a mortal that even caught the eye of Venus. You'll be the same weakling even without his help." Neji goaded her.
Hinata took the bait and rushed towards him. Neji waited at the last moment to move to the side and strike her in ther ribs, breaking the whole side of her rib cage.
Hinata screamed and gripped her side, her breath became shallow as she spat blood. Crying she tried to stand only to have Neji force her back down. Neji looked up at the stands finding Hiashi, Neji brought his hand up for the final strike only to find that Mizu Ryu stood between him and a very pissed Naruto.
"Mizu, you are my friend. That's why I'm giving you one chance to get the hell out of my way." Naruto told him, his henge undid a little showing his purple slitted eyes.
"Naruto, if you interfere with the match I will have to disquailify you. Please, don't make me do that after all the hard work you and hinata did." Mizu told the angry blonde.
Haku put a hand on her brother's shoulder, "Mizu, she's already knocked out. Neji won."
Neji dropped Hinata, "I'm sorry cousin, but I have been chosen to lead the branch family out of the darkness you have placed on us. I will do it, *whispers* for my father. Fate will see me through to the final round."
In a far away place a lady in front of some scales sneezed. Looking around she shrugged, then had a bad feeling that someone thought fate was going to make everything easier. She hung the balance on the scales and added some weight to the statue that looked like Neji.
Naruto picked Hinata up, as he passed with her in his arms he stopped by Neji.
"Neji, you better pray that we don't fight in the next round. I'll kill you for what you did to Hinata." Naruto told the proud Hyuuga.
Neji looked at him, "No Naruto, you will not defeat me." With that he went off to the stands where the winners were waiting for the results.
Naruto took Hinata to the medical room, he set her next to Saumi. Hinata looked up at a very angry and wet eyed Naruto.
"Naruto, I'm alright. Please, you must change my cousin's thoughts. I know he is a good person, please my love. Help him as you have helped me." Hinata told the blonde hanyou.
Naruto looked down at his love, kissing her. "I promise that I will help him Hinata. I'll hurt him, but I'll help him also." With that said he left to fight in the next match.
Saumi looked over at the pale-eyed heiress, "So you love Naruto."
Hinata saw Saumi was awake, "yes, I'm assuming you do also."
"he was one of the reasons I wanted to come this year." Saumi told her. "The other was a more diplomatic reason."
"I see, I'm Hinata." The heiress told Saumi.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Saumi." the blonde replied.
"I have a feeling we are going to be good friends." Hinata told the girl.
Saumi smiled, "Yeah, I have that feeling to."
Naruto entered the winners lounge as the contestants were given a 30 minute break. (choji forfited in the ino vs. sakura match due to intestinal problems, that's whatcha get for having an all you can eat bbq before the tournament.)
He walked over to the mini-fridge and pulled out a cold coffee. Sasuke rose an eyebrow, Naruto never drank coffee unless something was bothering him. As if reading his mind, Naruto threw one at Sasuke. Sasuke nodded at his friend, who sat down beside him.
"Hinata doesn't want me killing him." Naruto told Sasuke. Sasuke nodded, "Sometimes the path left is the hardest."
"That's deep for a gay wad." Naruto joked to him.
"Yeah, well your okay for a chick-magnet." Sasuke told his friend.
Laughing they clinked their cans and drank. Naruto started to feel the caffine buzz as soon as the coffee touched his tongue. (Note to self Naruto + coffee = Horror)
All the contestants were ran out of the lounge as naruto went on a rampage, basically everything that wasn't strapped down was taken and thrown into a pile in the middle of the floor, some how one of the hokage's chairs had made it on top of the pile and Naruto was crouched in it.
"Ummm... How did this happen?" Naruto asked the group, only to have them all faceplant into the ground.
"Naruto, no coffee ever again." Sasuke told him.
"Oh crap, did I have coffee?" Naruto asked him, Sasuke nodded.
"Huh, no wonder I feel refreshed. Okay, let's go fight." Naruto yelled at the contestants.
A very angry A was standing where his kage chair should have been. His cheetah was slightly mad also, because his squeaky toy was missing.
Naruto pulled a squeaky toy out of his ninja pouch as he left the lounge. Shrugging he tossed it on the kage chair.
As soon as all the contestants were present in the arena floor They drew numbers 1-8, here's who got what.
Naruto 1
Neji 2
Kankuro 3
Shino 4
Shikamaru 5
Temari 6
Sasuke 7
Garaa 8
The first two stood on the field facing each other. Due to the mass injuries during the first round Haku rushed off to help the medical staff. So Mizu ryu was proctor for this phase.
"Again, can use anything. No killing, blah, blah blah. you guys know the idea." Mizu Ryu stated sounding bored. Naruto waved Mizu ryu over real quick, after whispering something into his ear Mizu looked at Naruto. Naruto nodded at the proctor.
Mizu ryu cleared his throat, "One of the contestants wants me to announce something. Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze wants everyone to know that he is not the Kyuubi Kitsune, but it's container. And if you don't like that, well then you can piss off." Mizu ryu smiled at the blonde, Naruto gave him a thumbs up.
The crowd sat in silence until they started booing and throwing trash at him. Naruto then turned very serious as he released the henge and let his voice roar.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, My father was Minato Namikaze the fourth Hokage, My mother was Kushina Uzumaki the Red Death. I am their son, I am also the container of the Kyuubi Kitsune. I have shown you more kindness than what you deserve and what have you done to me. Stabbed me, shot me, beat me, poison me, give me old worn-out clothes, give me rotten food, one of you even killed me on my 5th birthday. My father hoped that you would see me as a hero, not a villain. Since you can't still see me, I will show you." With that Naruto pulled out both his hand and foot gauntlets and put them on. He then preformed the Firefox, and stood there waiting for the start of the match.
Neji looked at Naruto, seeing the Fourth more now than ever in the young blonde. Smirking Neji bent into place.
Mizu ryu looked from one contestant to the other and waved his hand, "Begin.", as he jumped out of the way. Two very angry, and dessperate souls stood staring at one another.
"Hinata asked me not to kill you, but to change you. Neji, I hope by the end of this match. You can be changed from what you think. Fate does not hold sway over everything, and you do not control fate." Naruto told the Hyuuga.
"By the end of this match, you will eat those words Naruto." Neji told the blonde in a very serious tone.
Neji rushed the blonde, hoping to get with in striking distance. Naruto saw this as the world slowed to a crawl, his eyes burned again.
Neji started striking at the blonde, only to have Naruto dodge him at every turn.
Neji jumped back, catching his breath. 'This is bad, i don't want to use that until later, I might have to use it now.' he thought.
"Eight-trigrams, 64 palms" Neji called out, he rushed forward hitting the blonde.
"Two palms, Four palms, eight palms, sixteen palms, thirty-two palms, sixty-four palms." Neji counted as he hit the blonde, Naruto didn't budge as each strike hit him.
Panting Neji looked at the blonde, he was standing there as if the strikes had just phased right through him.
Naruto looked at the hyuuga and clapped his hands, the fox fire dissapeared. He then took off his gauntlets and put them away also.
"I don't need to use these to beat you. Neji, I can remove that seal of your's if you want me to. Though it may hurt a lot." Naruto told the stuck-up hyuuga.
Neji took off his forehead protector. "My father gave his life to protect my uncle, and everyday I tell myself that I'm going to be stronger than they will be. If you want to remove this cursed seal, then you have to beat me."
Naruto shrugs, "Fine by me. Just don't whine when you lose."
Naruto then took out a scroll, looking at it he smiled then put it away.
Neji looked confused, 'What the hell was on that scroll.'
Naruto pulled out a kunia and rushed the confused hyuuga. Neji saw what he was doing, "Rotation"
Neji started spinning trying to knock naruto back. Naruto reached through the sphere and grabbed Neji's arm.
"Ouch, that hurt you teme. If you want to know what was on the scroll all you have to do is ask." Naruto told him flipping the scroll so Neji could see it.
On it were words given to him by all of his girls.
"Naruto do you best, I'll be cheering for you." Haku had written.
"Yo Gaki, make sure you win. I'll hurt you if you don't." Anko had told him, except there was a kiss mark next to it.
"Naruto-kun, do you best. I'll be there with you." Hinata had written.
"Naruto, come back to us. We hold you in our hearts." Kitsune finished off, confirming what all the girls knew.
"You see, I have people who are counting on me to make it through. I promised Hinata I would change your mind. And by Kami I will." Naruto told him, he then grabbed Neji's shirt and headbutted him.
Neji was sent sprawling back. Shaking his head he didn't notice a roundhouse kick was coming. When he did, it was to late to dodge, he blocked it as best he could.
Naruto looked at Neji, "You see, I have people waiting for me, counting on me. You have to give up this 'fate' *A woman far a way snickered* bs, cuz fate is not what makes you. It's the hardship and people who will stand by your side when everything else is gone. I know that you hate the seal that is on your head, so I'm going to remove it."
Naruto then unseathed Keta and spun it around, aiming at Neji's head.
'Oh shit, he's going to kill me.' Neji thought, "Rotation" again Neji spun, except this time Keta slashed through the sphere and slammed into his forehead.
Neji gasped as he felt the seal being sucked off of him. Screaming from the pain, the sphere broke. Neji stood still as the seal was sucked onto the katana.
A bird flowed onto the sword, it fluttered once and broke. Fragmenting into a dust before Neji's eyes.
"How can this be, no one could remove that seal. I tried to do it myself, I almost died." Neji told Naruto.
Naruto smiled, "Well, feeling better. I hope I changed your mind. Oh and two things, you're about to pass out and you are going to change. That I promise."
Neji nodded as he slid into blackness, he knew he was going to change. 'Neji, don't let the main branch take hold. Show them that they were wrong about us branch memebers. My son, show them the kindness that I know you have.' Neji's father had once told him.
'Dad, I went down the wrong path because of hate. Naruto showed me that, I promise to protect your dream' Neji thought.
*Up in Heaven*
"You finally learned what you needed to. Good job my son." a Hyuuga told the pool looking into it as Neji fell on the ground.
*Back on Earth*
"Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze is the winner." Mizu ryu announced.
'Damn, that gaki might be good enough to get to know better' A couple of women thought.
Naruto got a shiver as he felt like he was going to get violated in many ways. He reached down and helped Neji to the medical wing.
Upon entering the medical wing Haku ran up to him, "What happened?"
"Nothing much, he just took a good beating." Naruto told Haku, looking over at Hinata he nodded.
Hinata smiled, knowing Naruto had kept his promise.
"You better get back to the matches, I think we might be close to the time line." Haku told him.
Naruto nodded, "I know what to do. I hope that those guys know the plan. I'll send a Shadow clone out."
He gripped his neck lightly as the curse mark burned slightly, growing a lil.
*Naruto's Mindscape*
Max looked at the graffiti, 'The kid used to much chakra, the seal expanded a lil. I just hope that he'll be alright.'
Max took out his sword and started poking the graffiti. As he poked a word, the word melted onto the sword and broke. Panting he looked up at the words, there were dozens. 'I promise to take care of this seal.' He again started working.
*Outside*
Temari had just won her match. She was now sitting comfortable on the stand for the next round. Seeing Naruto walk up she blushed lightly, Garaa saw this and smiled. Her sister had got a liking of the boy as had she.
'What are you doing? Mother wants his blood!' the demonic thought yelled in her head.
Garaa gripped her head, knowing the only way to make it stop was to give it what it wanted. Confused she went down to the arena floor.
'I don't want to do this, but the voice won't stop.' the poor girl thought. As she passed Naruto, he smiled at her. Garaa smiled back.
'Stop smiling, get back to work.' the demonic presence told her.
'Yes Mother.' Garaa told it.
As she fought Sasuke the voice became more commanding, until it over ran her thoughts of Naruto. Garaa finally pulled the Sand Dome around herself.
Naruto watched with baited breath as Sasuke slammed the Chidori into the dome, jumping back as Garaa screamed. The Sand dome shot out spikes cutting him.
With that scream all hell unleashed. Everyone in the stands fell asleep and there was a loud explosion that rocked the whole arena. Naruto nodded to Mizu ryu, Mizu nodded back and started forming seals.
The Hokage stand was also in chaos as the Kazekage grabbed Sarutobi taking him to the top of the arena. A followed, knowing now that the Kazekage was not who he was. He barely made it in as the purple field slammed shut behind him.
"I knew there was something weird. Orochimaru, you are going to die." A told the now releaved snake bastard.
"If only you knew, you muscled bound idiot." Orochimaru told him. Turning he told the four ninjas that held the prison, "don't move, I will kill each of you if you do. So don't move."
The Oto nins nodded, knowing their master would do that.
Naruto jumped into the arena, racing to Garaa as Mizu ryu finished the seals. A dome of Water flowed over the two. Naruto stood panting, Kits jumped out of his jacket. Garaa stood there with a black aura surrounding her, looking up the demonic force had taken over her.
"Well well, I have to applaud you boy. You actaully made it in time. I thought I would never get to taste your blood" Garaa said in the demonic voice. The raccon turned into it's human form, a tall man with a single tail behind him. Sandy brown hair fell down his back, his eyes were pitch-black, he had purple tattoos running all over his body.
"Kitsune, long time. You and me used to kill these weaklings, what happened. Don't you want to have fun again." The raccon man told her.
"No, Shukaku. Those days are behind me. I fell in love, with this wonderful person. I will help destroy you before you take every thing he holds dear." Kitsune told him.
"To bad for you, you whore. I'll make him suffer, then while you watch. I'll crush his bones to be consumed by my sand." Shukaku told her.
"Not if we beat you first." Naruto told him.
To be continued...
Wow, Shukaku in human form. The Akatsuki are good and what are they doing? What is Sarutobi going to do against Orochimaru? What's going to happen? Even I don't know. Okay, clearing some things up. I know that I put Iwa up instead of Cloud for Killer B's team. I really haven't gotten that far in Shippuden. I am going to fix that. I also have it were there were alot less combatants in the final than I thought, again my bad. I just wanted to do the Neji fight and then end the story, but I was like what the hell. So any ideas on what to do, Pm me if you have some ideas. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, cuz it took me almost two days to put it together.
