(Chunin Exams Tower...)
Nightmare looked down with interest as Ino and Sakura walked to their first true match against one another. 'Bout damn time... I haven't seen a good cat fight in a long while...' Crow thought to himself with a chuckled in his throat. 'Show me the power you've attained Ino... Show me the strength you wield...' The demonic teen thought to himself as he looked down on the two.
"MAAAASSSSTEEERRR..." Tira whined and Nightmare's eye twitched. "Why do we have to watch these boring fights? Theres not even any blood or guts..." Tira complained and Nightmare inwardly groaned.
"Because, we need to asses the strength of the younger generation of Shinobi, then determine the strength of the older ones. No stone must be left unturned Tira, if we ignore one part of the tree, it will only surprise us later..." Nightmare told her simply with his eye's never leaving the scene below as the girls stood apart from one another. "Besides that... The blond down there is one of my students... I need to see how much progress she's made since she last saw me..." Nightmare admitted and Tira grinned widely.
"COOL! I bet she's some supper ninja thanks to your training Master!" The girls exclaimed and now looked at the scene below with rapt attention making Nightmare's brow twitch once more. 'I swear... She's going to be the death of me...' He thought then shook it off and returned his own attention down below...
--
"So... It's you and me going against each other... Never would have saw it coming..." Ino said softly and Sakura nodded her head to the blond across from her. "Just know now, I'm not going to be holding back anymore..." Ino said and removed the arm warmers she wore to show her Restriction Seals. Hers unlike Crow or Naruto's, looked like thorny vines of some kind except they were black and twisted into a heart when they came together.
"Huh... Those are..." Sakura thought with her eye's widening. 'Ino... You and Naruto trained together... How much stronger are you then? Naruto is amazingly strong now, just how much better than me are you really?' Sakura wondered as Ino bit her thumbs and quickly smeared blood on the seals on her arms, then dropped down dabbing them on the ones around her legs, and then as she stood back up on her neck.
"Restriction Seal! KAI!" Ino called out and started to stretch her neck and arms. "Dammit... Even after three years with that thing I'm not used to it..." Ino muttered annoyance in her tone as she rubbed her shoulders and neck. Several of the ninja gawked however, Neji was the most surprising, however he was gawking because Ino's Chakra seemed to have doubled. Kakashi because now he knew one of the other students who had a blatant advantage over their classmates, and Asuma Sarutobi because of the fact that Ino wasn't acting loud or annoying.
"Whats with you? I thought you were trying to Impress you psycho Crow? Why would he be impressed with someone who's still not used to a Jutsu he made?" Sakura asked and Ino stiffened, her left eye twitching slightly making Naruto pale. 'Sakura... That was stupid... Ino is FIERCELY protective of Niisan... You've dug your own grave now...' Naruto thought to himself and watched as Ino turned towards Sakura with a death glare making the pink haired Kunoichi shrink under her gaze.
"First off, how can I impress someone who's not even here?" The blond said with one finger curled down and Sakura blushed. "Second, I'll admit, Crow's not perfect, he's a Lecher, an ultra pervert, a womanizer, and sometimes I swear he's a sadist. I won't fight over things like that, I know it, he knows it, hell, half of Konoha knows it!" Ino exclaimed loudly, almost all of the Jounin to Chunin nodding their heads at that. It was true, and there was worse about Crow that they knew, like the time he unleashed over ninety nine Foxes into the village after he got drunk and passed out... Unfortunately he didn't remember a thing about it the next morning so they had to let him go...
"Well if he's so bad why do you like him?" Sakura questioned and Ino slapped her face.
"I don't "Like" him Forehead, I LOVE him!" The blond exclaimed with gritted teeth. "I know all his faults and accept that he may never change his way's, I know he's got a problem with drinking, hell my dad says if anything, Crow's got more faults than anyone else in my age group! But I don't care about that. Unlike you with your "He's so Perfect" Sasuke, at least I know what the boy I like is really like, at least I'm not in love with someone who only sees an annoyance in front of him, and CLEARLY has a few screws loose..." Ino said with her arms crossed and felt many gapping people staring at her.
"TAKE THAT BACK INO-PIG!!" "YEAH!! NO ONE TALKS ABOUT SASUKE-KUN LIKE THAT!! CHA!!" Sakura shouted Inner Sakura adding for the usually soft spoken personality, both shouting at Ino who stuck her tongue out and looked to Hayate.
"Could you start the match now, me and Forehead-Girl here have a fight we need to settle..." Ino said and Hayate nodded his head slowly and then stood far back from the hostile girls.
"The fourth match of the Chunin selection exams shall now commence..." Hayate said then coughed lightly into his hand. "Sakura Haruno Vs. Ino Yamanaka..." He said then looked between the two girls and raised his hand. "Begin!" He called out to the two lowering his hand and Sakura made several quick hand seals making Ino smirk. 'Bunshin... What do you take me for Forehead...' Ino thought to herself and ran at the pink haired girl.
"This isn't an academy exam Forehead! Bunshin are useless here!" Ino shouted then she halted. 'Wait, this is basic misdirection, while I'm focused on finding her among the Bunshin. Forehead goes and punches my lights out... Or into a wall... Duh Ino, Naruto does that all the time... okay then all I have to do is focus on evading her punch, then attack her myself.' Ino thought to herself and ran at Sakura once more. The pink haired blossom focused Chakra to her feet and then lunged at the blond with a punch however Ino saw it coming and ducked under her punch and then kicked the girls feet out from under her. She then placed her hands on Sakura's stomach and used the girls own momentum to throw the girl towards a wall.
Sakura's back hit the wall and the girl grunted before falling to the ground on her ass and groaning in pain. 'I was right... Ino is a lot stronger now...' She thought to herself as a smirking Ino stood away from her arms crossed. "C'mon Sakura, is that all you can do? I'll admit, the art of misdirection is clever, but I train with Naruto. He uses that damn strategy more than you ever will, and he already knows not to try it on me." Ino boasted making one of Sakura's eye's twitch in annoyance. 'I'm gonna kill Naruto! Why didn't he tell me how tough Ino was now?! He's my teammate dammit!' Sakura wondered grumbling to herself and got back to her feet.
"Sakura's Chakra Manipulation is superb... Huh Kakashi-Sensei?" Naruto asked and Kakashi nodded then looked at Naruto with a slightly annoyed look.
"Ino's is just as, if not better... isn't it..." He questioned and Naruto took a thoughtful expression.
"No... She has too much Chakra to ever be better than Sakura in its manipulation." Naruto said simply with a frown and Kakashi raised a brow.
"Really? Whys that?" Kakashi asked curious and Naruto sighed.
"You saw how Ino had to rub her shoulders and neck right?" Naruto asked and Kakashi nodded his head. "Well that's because her Restriction Seal does more than simply cut her strength in half unlike Crows. Ino's also keeps her first Inner Gate slightly open at all time's to increase the potency of her Chakra. Her inner coils will then compensate for the increased potency by slowly stretching her coils to let them get used to greater amounts of Chakra. This unfortunately, wreaks havoc on her muscles when she releases the Seal and has only her normal amount, even though it's more than normal." Naruto explained simply and then smirked seeing Kakashi's eye twitching.
"Why didn't you tell Sakura about that?" He asked and Naruto blinked then grinned.
"She never asked." He told him simply and Kakashi slapped his face as the former blond laughed at his Sensei.
Sakura however ran at Ino during the little explanation and Ino smirked catching the girls fist with one hand and throwing a punch back at her. Sakura caught this punch and the two flung one another back, both reached into their weapon cases and tossed shuriken at one another. The weapons clanged as they hit and fell to the ground. 'I'll give Sakura this, she's one hell of a lot stronger than when we were kids...' Ino thought to herself as both of their feet touched the ground and they lunged at one another with a solid punch. Sakura was hit in the cheek and sent sprawling while Ino gritted her teeth after the punch and slid back. 'Dammit... That really hurt...' Ino thought to herself with a grimace as she held her cheek.
"Alright forehead... No more playing around." Ino growled and then exhaled a breath before assuming a familiar stance making Lee look on with a gapping jaw and Naruto groaned. 'Bloody Claw Taijutsu style...' Naruto thought shaking his head while Lee's gapping continued with him ranting in his head about how blonds all knew that style. "Bloody Claw, Style one! Art of Slashing!" Ino exclaimed her nails becoming sharp claws with blue Chakra flowing off of them. Ino then crouched down and grinned widely.
"This isn't good..." Naruto muttered and Lee looked to the former blond.
"Why is that Naruto-kun? Surely Ino is not a master of this style?" The bowl cut boy asked and Naruto grimaced.
"Actually... She's better at it then me..." He said and Lee guffawed looking at the red head.
"B-but how?! You are simply amazing at this Style Naruto-kun how can anyone be better than you?!" Lee asked and Naruto scratched the bridge of his nose while Kakashi looked at him annoyedly.
"Because... The person who made that style... Made it specifically for her..." Naruto said with a sheepish look and Lee fell over backwards, Guy starting to shout about the "Flames of Youth" and Naruto backed away from him. "Is he always like that?" The red head asked and Kakashi nodded his head making Naruto shiver.
"Bloody Hurricane!" Ino called out loudly and rushed at Sakura with amazing speed and started spinning half way there looking like a hurricane. Sakura yelped and jumped to the side only to see a kick land on the wall behind her and her eye's widened as she saw cracks form under the pressure of her friends kick... 'Ino... She's strong... BUT I WON'T GIVE UP! SASUKE-KUN WOULDN'T SO NIETHER WILL I!!' "CHA! GOT THA RIGHT! SHOW THAT BLOND WHAT WE CAN DO!" Sakura thought then her Inner self add before she got to her feet and into a basic academy Taijutsu style making Ino sweat drop.
"Forehead... Is that really the only fighting style you know?" Ino asked and Sakura blushed making the blond shake her head. "This will take all of five seconds..." She murmured to herself then breathed in and out. "Bloody Claw, Style Two! The art of Crushing!" Ino called out loudly her lower legs becoming surrounded by Chakra making Sakura pale, seeing as she remembered when Naruto fought Lee... "Wicked Inferno!" Ino suddenly shouted and ran forward and used a mule kick to knock Sakura upward then placed a hand on the ground and kicked Sakura when she came back down, spinning into it and flinging the pink haired girl away.
"Asuma... Did you know she could do that?" Kurenai asked looking at the other Jounin openly gape before smirking. "Apparently not." She said simply and he grimaced to himself wondering if there was anything else he didn't know about Ino...
Sakura was slowly pushing herself back to her feet, Ino looking at her and shaking her head slightly as she did. "I'll give you one thing Forehead... You're stubborn as a mule..." She said and Sakura growled angrily.
"SHUT IT INO-PIG!" She shouted and Ino's eye twitched slightly.
Bloody Claw, Style Three! The Art of Destruction!" Ino called out as all of her arms and legs were covered in blue Chakra and she frowned slightly. "Okay forehead, I'll give you one chance to give up. After that, I don't care how much you hate me but I WILL win this fight..." Ino said simply and Sakura growled.
"Like I'd ever lose to you!" Sakura shouted and Ino could only sigh and then crouch down once more before moving towards Sakura.
"DEMON ROUNDHOUSE!" The blond shouted and punched Sakura to the side before kicking her in midair four times and finishing with a final roundhouse kick sending her into the far wall. "Okay now she's done..." Ino said more to herself than anyone, she was surprised seeing Sakura push herself back to her feet, only to fall to her knee's panting. "Ouch..." Ino muttered then assumed the next stance and breath in, then out. "Bloody Claw, Style Four! The Art of Armageddon!" Ino called out as her body was covered in Chakra and then gritted her teeth. "BLOODY CLAW, FINAL STYLE! THE ART OF OBLIVION!!" Ino then shouted as the first of the Inner Gates fully opened and she was engulfed by the brilliant blue glow of her own Chakra.
Then Ino crouched and formed several hand seals before yelling out. "PERFECT CHAKRA SHELL ARMOR!!" Their was an explosion of light as then Ino's body was no longer glowing, but covered in thick blue armor. It was pale blue nearly silver looking, but it was also plated, it resembled old fashioned armor and covered her completely. Strangely, the armor had designs that resembled thorny vines on it that were a darker blue color and roses at her knees, elbows, and shoulders. The armor itself hugged her body's curves, her long blond hair coming out of a hole at the back of her head, while the armor concealed her but didn't restrict her range of movement from what it was...
"Cool... Ino's finally finished that one. I need to learn it after the exams." Naruto said with a smile while everyone save Hinata and the red head gawked. Ino however looked at the gawking Sakura and sighed.
"Sorry Sakura... This is really gonna hurt..." Ino mumbled to herself and crouched down. "Anima's Endgame!" Ino called out and lunged at Sakura, the pink haired girl threw several shuriken at Ino but the blonds armor protected her. She kicked the pink haired girl into the air then flipped up and started to hit her rapidly before grabbing her by her face and rolled downwards, landing on her feet while plowing Sakura's head into the ground and knocking her out cold. "Now then, ANYONE ELSE WANNA SAY I'M WEAK!!" Ino demanded looking around and saw everyone shake their heads. The girl smirked to herself and made her armor dissipate into a fog of Chakra that sank back into her skin.
"That girls going to kill her husband..." The Onikage mumbled and Sarutobi chuckled at his friends thoughts.
"I doubt that, she likes Crow too much to kill him... Possibly Maim him for life, but not kill him..." Sarutobi suggested and the Onikage agreed, nodding his head.
"The winner is Ino Yamanaka... uhh... Could you take her back up to the stands?" Hayate asked and Ino nodded her head, picked up Sakura by the arm and walked back up the stairs.
"Naruto... How much has Crow actually taught you three?" Kakashi asked and Naruto blinked.
"Lets see... The Chakra Shell Jutsu... Each of us got our own Taijutsu style... Chakra Control Exercises... Elemental Manipulation... Umm... He taught us the Restriction Seal application... Then... He showed us some training exercises... And... He taught us how to apply Chakra to parts of the body, and even weapons... Why?" Naruto listed then asked and Kakashi sighed. 'They know more than most Chunin... We really need that boy teaching a class... Or a genin team at least...' Kakashi thought to himself as Ino brought Sakura back to them and sat her down, then walked over to her own team and looked at Asuma.
"Say I'm not worth training ever again, and I'll introduce YOU to that last one." She stated angrily and Asuma nodded his head and shivered as Ino then looked down onto the next match. Hayate then looked to the board above the ring and sighed.
Tenten Higorashi Vs. Temari...
"Will the contestants please come down to start the match..." Hayate announced and coughed slightly before the two girls came down...
--
"Master... That blond girl is scary..." Tira said and Nightmare chuckled. 'She doesn't know the half of it...' Nightmare thought to himself as he looked down then sighed and moved Dark Seed to block a sword that came at him from behind. 'I was wondering when he was going to show himself...' Nightmare thought then spun knocking the person away from himself and raised a brow seeing Link standing before him.
"He reeks of the powers of good... Our sire faced someone like him long ago... He is powerful... But inexperienced...' Dark Seed told Nightmare who rolled his eye's and looked to Tira. "Deal with this pest Tira, prove your worth to me and beat him..." He ordered and the girl nodded with a grin and lunged at the boy in green. She spun on her heel as the boy brought up his shield and knocked him back and off the tower before jumping down after him herself. 'This Should be interesting...' Nightmare thought to himself and watched the two...
Tira Vs. Link
Tira/Aisel NedrosselLink/Master Sword & Hylian Shield
"His Courage and Faith are his greatest weapons."
"Time to die!" Tira said with a grin as she flipped down from the tower and to her feet. Link pulled himself up and swung his sword, moving into a stance taught to him by the great master of his own world so long ago. Tira was the first to move as she spun her Ring Blade around her left wrist at Link. The boy tried to block with his shield but the grooves in the weapon hooked onto the shield and knocked the green clad boy back. Tira grinned as she then spun the Ring Blade like a hula hoop around her waist towards Link. The boy leaned back however dodging the attack and rolling into a crouch.
Link then held his sword at his side as Tira jumped up spinning her Ring Blade once more towards the young warrior. Link waited until she was close then spun completely around knocking Tira's Ring Blade off course and the girl flipped in mid air landing on her feet and frowning. "Your good..." She said with a frown the grinned widely. "GREAT!" She shouted and spun her Ring Blade along her right hand and into the air knocking Link's shield upward. The boy then flipped backwards as Tira spun her Ring Blade once more then crouched and jumped up, taking hold of his shield and bringing his sword down towards Tira's head.
Tira then rolled to the side, away from Link the boy's sword landing in the ground. Tira then grinned as she spun her Ring Blade with her right leg towards the boy and Link once more blocked with his shield only to be knocked back by it once more. Link then flipped backwards away from the girl and quickly brought out a Bow and Arrow which he fired at the girl three times quickly. The Bipolar girl grinned as she saw the arrow's and spun her Ring Blade around her body snapping the arrows as they hit it, then lunged at Link spinning it around her wrists. The green clad warrior ducked out of the way and then reached back into the pouch on his back, pulling a bomb from it and threw it at Tira. The girl blinked seeing it and flipped backwards as it exploded sending her sprawling on the ground.
Link panted slightly as he then gawked hearing Tira start laughing loudly. "THAT WAS SO COOL!" She shouted then snarled angrily. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!!" She then shouted to a thoroughly confused young man while a certain Twili in his shadow was wondering if all girls from this world were going to be this nuts. However, neither were able to think on this as Tira ran forward and spun her Ring Blade with her wrist knocking Link's shield up into the air as she then spun it once more and made a slash along Link's Green tunic, the gold chain mail beneath it protecting Link however. Link gritted his teeth as Tira then spun her Ring Blade once more, the blue eyed boy rolled out of the way picked up his shield and then sheathed his sword and placed his shield on his back.
"Hmm... Giving up already?" Tira questioned with a pout then grinned. "THEN DIE!!" She shouted and lunged at the blond spinning her Ring Blade at the boy. However at the last second Link flashed unsheathing his sword and knocking Tira's Ring Blade off course. Link then held his blade at his side and it shown with light, before he spun around Knocking Tira's Ring Blade away from her hands... Tira looked at Link then her eye started to twitch and she lunged at him dodging his sword and kicked him in the chin, grabbed his Tunic and tossed him away from herself. The girl then did several flips and kicked her Ring Blade into the air were she caught it and ran at Link spinning it toward him.
The green clad warrior shook his head and quickly flipped backwards, away from a slash from Tira. He then held his sword up in the air and a shine of light traveled up it's blade before he jumped high in the air and brought his sword down. However Nightmare then appeared in a flash of ebony Chakra and caught Tira's Ring Blade with his mutated arm and Link's sword with Dark Seed.
Winner Tira...
"Enough of this... Tira... You will indeed, prove useful to me in the future... As for you however..." Nightmare said to the grinning pink eyed girl then growled at the blond. "I have no use for you..." He stated and then went low to the ground and swept Link's feet out from under him before slamming the side of Dark Seed into Link sending him sprawling out on the ground. Nightmare then kicked Link's Sword into the air and balanced it on his leg. Nightmare then lifted his leg into the air sending Link's sword up before crouching and launching himself kicking the sword and sending it spiraling into the distance. Link's eye's widened as he saw his sword disappear and Nightmare land in front of him.
"uhhh... Master... Why did you do that?" Tira asked with a hand over her eye's and looking towards where the sword was sent then whistled. "I wonder how far it went..." She wondered to no one but herself Nightmare inwardly sighing and wondering if she also had A.D.D... The dark warrior didn't dwell on those thought long however, before he chuckled and looked down on Link.
"I sense great power from you boy... But you lack the experience of a true warrior... You have eyes that have seen much battle, but I can tell you now, boy... I am FAR more dangerous than anything you have ever faced..." Nightmare growled out then held Dark Seed at his side, black energy started to swirl around it before he then pointed the blade at Link and the lightning hit the boy morphing him into his wolf form, Midna falling from his shadow and gasping when she saw Nightmare standing above her, his burning eye's glaring down at her.
"So it is true, someone else with those vile powers truly does exist..." She said in Gibberish to herself and Nightmare raised a brow, then looked at Link and grabbed him in his wolf form by the scruff of his neck.
"Tell the brat for me... Find your sword, and then get stronger, we shall only fight when you have mastered that blade in its entirety... And defeated anyone who would appose you..." Nightmare said to Midna and then spun throwing Link into the forest and Midna gasped and darted after her friend. Nightmare narrowed his eye's as the Twili girl vanished into the shadows and turned his back towards them both. 'I need Soul Edge... And with so many powerful souls all gathering... It will finally reawaken and reveal itself... Then the Ultimate Nightmare... Will finally begin!!' Nightmare thought to himself with a grin on his face then looked to Tira. 'Lets go see how that last match went inside..." And with that, the two returned to their spots up on top of the tower and looked inside...
--
Tenten was being taken by the medic Nin to the infirmary while Hayate waited for the next to combatants to be decided. Everyone looked to the board, wondering who would have to fight next, Kiba just hoping he didn't have to fight one of the Suna nin or the last Oninin...
Shikamaru Nara Vs. Janet Negrado...
"This won't end well..." Came a mumble from the Onikage and Sarutobi nodded his head as he remembered the old feud between those two families... That seemed to be the only thing a Nara wouldn't sleep threw, fighting a Negrado...
"Lets just hope Shikamaru doesn't take this fight too seriously. The last time we had your families fighting it ended up as an all out brawl threw the streets of Konoha, stretching from the village gates to the Hokage tower!" Sarutobi said and started to rub his temples, the damn Paperwork nightmare from that one incident haunted him to this day.
"In our defense Sarutobi... They started it..." Abel said scratching the bridge of his nose and the aging Hokage shook his head and rubbed his eye's.
"Will the contestants please enter the ring." Hayate questioned and both Shadow and Shikamaru jumped down into the ring, the girl grinned while the boy rubbed his shoulders and sighed. "The sixth match between Shikamaru Nara of the Leaf Village and Janet Negrado of the Demon Village will now commence." Hayate said then raised his hand. "Begin!" And with that Shikamaru crouched slightly as Shadow reached into her pouch and pulled out several Kunai with strings attaching them to her fingers via Metal rings.
"Whys she using those wires, I thought she used Chakra strings?" Naruto wondered to himself and Vergil smirked.
"It so she doesn't waist Chakra, usually she likes showing off to boy's she thinks are cute... At the moment she just wants to win a fight against that Nara kid however, so she won't be showing off too much..." Vergil said and Naruto blinked then gaped.
"Wait. She thinks I'm cute?!" Naruto all but demanded and Dirge fell back laughing loudly while Kakashi raised a brow, was it him, or was this Generation all nuts? Back in the ring, Shadow had begun to fling her Kunai at Shikamaru, the boy amazingly decided, troublesome or not, he was taking this girl out of the exams... Then he'd go watch the clouds...
"Alright, pineapple head lets see what you can do!" Shadow exclaimed before focusing Chakra into the wires that were connected to her kunai and smirked. Shikamaru raised a brow for a second before rolling to the side as the wires attached to the Kunai seemed to come alive, literally come alive glowing with blue Chakra and moving like snakes. Shikamaru nearly cursed as he weaved threw the coiling attacks that the wires allowed the Kunai to perform, then reached for his own Kunai and pulled one out. He dodged another of the Kunai and cut the wire holding it, then ducked under another, cutting the wire holding this one also. Shikamaru continued to do this same routine of cutting the wires as the Kunai passed him until they all fell to the ground and he stood back up and put his Kunai back into his pouch...
"Satisfied?" Shikamaru asked the girl and Shadow shrugged her shoulders.
"Not bad, but I haven't even gotten started yet!" Shadow exclaimed and formed several hand seals, and pulled down her headband to reveal the Sangan Eye. "Secret Jutsu! Awakening of the Sangan Eye!" Shadow called out then formed a single seal. "Secret Jutsu! Anti-Form Awakening!" Shadow then called out and slumped as her shadow came to life once more and grinned widely, seeming to laugh as it glanced at Shikamaru...
"Now that is cool..." Mumbled Kiba from the stands seeing the ability even though he thought the third eye thing was kind of creepy. Shikamaru simply frowned and muttered a Troublesome under his breath as Shadow's Anti-Form ran at him and threw a punch. The boy dodged her punches and kicks, then ducked and swept her feet out from under her. Shikamaru then placed his hands in his pockets and let out a breath. Shadow leaped at him but Shikamaru lifted one leg and spun slightly kicking Shadow, knocking the girl away. Shadow flipped back to her feet and ran back towards the boy, while Shikamaru watched her and kept his hand's in his pockets, a calculating look in his eye's when he noticed that the shadow form wasn't going into the bright light near the center of the ring.
'It's a shadow... So bright light's will hurt it... And if I can get it into the light I can easily beat it...' Shikamaru thought to himself and then crouched under a punch from Shadow and flipped up kicking her in the chin then kicking the shadow form in the stomach and knocking her back. "Looks like Shikamaru figured out the weakness in Shadow's Jutsu..." Naruto mumbled from the stands and Vergil nodded his head slowly while Dirge blinked in surprise.
"How, took me forever to figure that out... And I've known her since she was little..." Dirge questioned while scratching his head and Vergil smirked while Naruto chuckled.
"Shikamaru has an amazing IQ, he's so smart he's quite literally a genius, however, he's also extremely lazy. This is actually the first time I've ever seen him actually fight someone, usually he just uses his "Kagemane no Jutsu" and would be done with it. However while fighting her it's like he's got something to prove..." Naruto mumbled and Kakashi nodded.
"So he noticed that after all..." Kakashi mumbled to himself and Naruto looked at him with a raised brow making Kakashi sigh. "The Nara and Negrado families, were once one single clan, no one is sure how, but the two separated and formed two separate clans. The two clans were both Shadow users, but the Nara's never liked the Negrado's, some believe they may have been banished by the Negrado's, other's believe the Negrado's were banished by the Nara's... Either way they have a rivalry going back centuries and right now Shikamaru is fighting to prove he's better than a Negrado..." Kakashi explained and Vergil nodded his head and turned back to the fight in the ring.
Shadow was dodging as Shikamaru kicked at her, then reached down and dropped into the shadows on the ground surprising Shikamaru, till he noticed a shadow moving on the ground. 'hmmm... Thats going to be a problem, didn't think she could actually become a part of the ground... I need to rethink my plan...' Shikamaru thought to himself then rolled out of the way as a pair of hands came out of the ground and he felt his eye twitch. 'Alright, so she can still attack me even while she's in the ground... But she can't see where she's going I bet, only my Chakra...' Shikamaru surmised and walked backwards towards the light in the middle of the room, then he looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that the Sangan eye on Shadows real forehead was following him...
Shikamaru then rolled out of the way as Shadow's hand's came out of the ground and into the brightest spot on the ground and covered his ear's when he heard a shriek and saw the shadow move into the shadow's and the girl came up, smoke coming off her hands and forearms. "Thats the problem with being a real shadow, light really hurts..." Shikamaru said with a smirk then saw the three eyed Shadow smirk.
"Maybe, but whats got three eye's, and limited Chakra?" Shadow asked and Shikamaru blinked. "Give up? A couple Kage Bunshin with a Henge over them!" She exclaimed poofing into a cloud of smoke as did the Anti-form. Shikamaru blinked in surprise as a girl then rose out of his own shadow and held a curved blade at his neck.
"You see, always look under neath the underneath. Or in this case, beyond the appearance of the truth." Shadow said and Shikamaru smirked.
"Yeah... Thanks... But you should do something also..." Shikamaru said and Shadow raised a brow from behind the boy. "Always watch your feet..." Shikamaru said then added with a smirk. "Kagemane no Jutsu!" He said and Shadow felt her arms move of their own accord and growled.
"I didn't know you could actually use that... when someone's behind you..." She growled out as Shikamaru shrugged.
"I normally can't... Usually don't know where a person behind me is... However, you made the mistake of having a sword at my throat, which means you'd have to be fairly close, so all I had to do was send my shadow to grab your's... Pretty easy really..." Shikamaru explained then moved his arms to the side, making Shadow do the same and flexed his fingers, causing Shadow to release the blades in her hands. Shikamaru then released the Kagemane and swept Shadow's feet out from under her, then backed away as Shadow stood up and glared at Shikamaru as he reused the Kagemane...
"You hate me... Don't you?" She asked as the boy smirked then turned around and Shadow did the same and saw the wall... "Yep... He hates me..." She said to herself as Shikamaru ran forward and stopped as he heard Shadow hit the wall and smirked to himself. Hayate walked over to Shadow and saw her then put a finger and found a pulse...
"Winner, Shikamaru Nara..." Hayate announced before coughing into his hand and Vergil appeared and Picked up Shadow, then jumped back to the stands. "The seventh Match of the Chunin exam Preliminary matches shall now be decided..." Hayate said and coughed looking up towards the board with the others. Abel however excused himself from the Hokage and went over to see Vergil and Shadow, then knelt down beside his daughter.
"Ouch..." Shadow mumbled waking up and rubbing her head. "Do I wanna know why I feel like I ran into a brick wall?" She asked and Abel put a hand on her head.
"No... You really don't." He told her and she sighed, then the board came back on and the group all looked and Naruto flinched...
"Oh boy... Now this won't end well..." He thought to himself with a grimace...
"Who would have thought..." Muttered Ino seeing the two names and then looking at her red haired friend. The boy looked just as surprised as her then both looked to his opponent and wondered what was going threw her own mind... Especially considering how long she and Naruto had known one another...
Naruto Uzumaki Vs. Kisara Hatake...
--
"This won't end well..." Nightmare said to himself seeing the match up and narrowed his eyes. 'Kisara and Naruto are both experts in Ninjutsu, while Naruto has more strength in Taijutsu... Then again in Genjutsu and Kenjutsu Kisara has the advantage...' Nightmare thought to himself while Tira yawned.
"Master I'm bored... Can I go kill something?" Tira asked and Nightmare seemed to consider it.
"No... Not now... Maybe later..." He then said and looked back down into the ring with a gleam in his eyes. 'This match is even, the two are friends, both are geniuses in their own right, and Kisara may have Genjutsu, but Naruto's Kamigan can cancel that out... Let's see how he does fighting his friend... Now is the time to prove your strength to me, Naruto... Prove that you are strong enough to defeat anyone who would do harm to you...' Nightmare thought to himself silently and clenched his right mutated hand while Tira looked down into the tower boredly...

Current Poll(s)...
Pairings for Naruto Poll, Eligible girls:
(Okay, Now I've decided that whenever a girl gets 50 vote's, they'll be in the harem no matter what. Meaning Tsunade is assured as of now. That leaves three space's to be filled so don't stop voting!) (Note: I took off half of the original votes. Now we only have seven girls to vote for. I'm also extending the limit to 100. Tsunade is still assured however, but I wanted to give you all more time!)
Tsunade(I've got a way to make this one work): 67(Assured)1st
Kisara Hatake: 115 (Assured)2nd
Anko Miterashi: 99
FemKyuubi: 106(Assured)3rd
Kurenai Yuuhi: 102(Assured)4th
Haku: 84
Sakura Haruno: 33
Shadow: 16 (Someone actually liked this one.)
(Okay... I've had so many asking for Shadow I'm gonna make a spin off of this Story. But dammit! The Plot Bunnies have attacked me with Inspiration sticks, thanks to this Suggestion! Another one that lured the Plot Bunnies out was a suggestion for NaruXTira, so I'll make a more Heavy Soul Calibur Naruto Crossover, no DMC in it. The titles will be:
Naruto Ultimate: Naruto of the Demon Village. NaruXOC(Shadow) Summery: AU, Crossover with DMC, Slight FFVII cross. Naruto's life was one where he was unable to live peacefully, however, someone comes to take him away from his life in Konoha. He tells Naruto that he is his grandfather and that he will teach him to be strong while living in Akumagakure rather than Konoha. He will learn his heritage, and discover his families true legacy all because of one man. His name... Vergil...
And:
Naruto Ultimate: Nightmares Awakening. KyuuXNaruXTira Summery: AU, Crossover with SC, Powerful/Evil/Naru!. Crow dies one night in Konoha while protecting Naruto from a mob. Naruto takes his brothers sword Tora and flees into the forest of Death and disappears for over five years. However, during the Chunin exams a monster wielding a massive sword, cuts a swath of destruction threw the forest in search of a power to revive the dead... His name... Nightmare...
Anyways, thank you all for voting, and for luring the Plot Bunnies out of hiding. They seem to have enjoyed attacking me this time however, and I will try and put up the first chapters of these spin off stories up as soon as I can, hope you like the ideas! And thank you all for continuing to read and review)
Only "Four Girl's (I count Kyuubi as a part of Naruto, not as a separate girl entirely, so if she becomes a part of the Harem four more girl's will still be able to be in the Harem)" will be in the actual Harem, Vote's for girl's are not restricted, however please only vote once per chapter so I can keep up. This voting will end right before Naruto's Two and a half year training trip.
