(A/N) And we are back! I've got some good news. I have decided to take Brown Phantom's Hidden Bloodline challenge! I've got pretty much everything planned out for starting it, and you should expect the first chapter of my new story to be done tomorrow. The story will be called "Resonating Hearts", and the Kekkei Genkai that Naruto will receive will be called the Kyoshingan. This fic will feature a threesome between Naruto, Hinata, and a female Kyuubi, who is affectionately called Kura-chan (short for Kurama. Kura was quite displeased with the sage of the six paths when he gave her a masculine name). I won't tell you any more than that, so keep your eyes out for it!

I have also accepted a challenge from a guy named Rinnegan97. That will be my third story, and I will probably start it once I get around twenty chapters into "Resonating Hearts". I'll release details of the challenge when I get closer to starting it. I have some of it planned already, but nothing near the level of what I already have planned for "Resonating Hearts".

I would also like to say that by next chapter in this story, I should have reached 500 reviews! That's quite the milestone in my opinion. So a huge thanks to everybody who has gone and taken the time to leave me a review. I love reading them, and I especially love when you guys ask questions that I can answer with PMs. Talking with fellow Naruhina fans is something that I love doing, and I also love telling people things about my story that were not fully explained directly in the story. Doing this also helps me plan out future events in my story.

Something I would like to say is that I have noticed an interesting variation in the size of Hinata's breasts in various fanfics. But most people seem to agree that Hinata is the most well-endowed Kunoichi in all of Konoha, not counting Tsunade. My opinions on Hinata's bust size are as follows: At age thirteen, Hinata has C-cup breasts, which procede to grow into D-cups after the timeskip. In case of unnatural breast enhancement, e.g. Hanyoufication, her breasts swell to an amazing E-cup. In this instance, Hinata overtakes Tsunade, who has D pushing E cups. I'm not sure why I brought this up, and these are completely my opinions, but we can all agree on one thing (or at least all straight males can): Breasts are amazing!

Okay, now that I've gotten my closet pervertedness out of the way, let's get on with the story!

Chapter 34: Hanyou vs Hanyou

The moment that Genma jumped out of the stadium, both Fu and Haku made a handsign and yelled "KAI!" A whirlwind of scale powder engulfed Fu, while a whirlwind of snowflakes and blue flames engulfed Haku. Both whirlwinds died to reveal the two Hanyou.

Most of the civilians in the crowd then began muttering among themselves, as they didn't know what to think about the newly revealed "demon spawn".

However, Fu and Haku didn't care at all what everybody else thought of them, so they launched into a taijutsu fight, Fu by flying towards Haku, and Haku by skating towards Fu. Fu launched the first punch mid flight, but Haku ducked the punch and let Fu fly over her head. One of Haku's tails wrapped around Fu's leg, catching her just before she got out of reach, and threw Fu to the ground.

There was nowhere near enough air time for Fu to recover, so she hit the ground in a harsh belly flop that cracked the ground. However, the impact didn't phase Fu very much, and she immediately pushed off the ground and leapt back up, turning on Haku and launching another punch at her.

Haku caught the punch in her hand, but Fu used her wings to burst towards Haku. Fu grabbed Haku and took off into the air, holding Haku tight. Fu flew straight upwards for a ways before turning back towards the ground, which she shot at like a rocket. At the last moment before impact, Fu released Haku to her doom and swerved off her crash course.

Haku smashed into the ground with enough force to create a large crater. She coughed up blood upon the devastating impact. Fu knew that this wouldn't keep Haku down for long, so she flew above the crater and made some hand signs, saying "Doton: Toji Chikyu!" (Earth style: Closing Earth), which caused the nearby ground to close the top of the crater with Haku still inside, essentially creating a lidded bowl.

Fu immediately ran through more hand signs and said "Futon: Kussaku Tatsumaki!" (Wind style: Drilling Tornado). This caused a drill of wind to appear around her right arm, which she then launched at the closed crater with a punching motion.

As the drill flew downwards, it expanded into a huge, focused tornado. However, the moment before the tornado touched the ground, the ground broke apart as a huge blue fireball shot out of the crater. The fireball met with the tornado and was fueled by it, creating a massive fiery vortex. The vortex soon dissipated as the fire completely consumed the wind jutsu for fuel.

Fu was momentarily blinded by the light that the vortex gave off, and she covered her eyes until it dissipated while she hovered above it. When it did, she looked back down to see Haku standing in the crater with a smirk on her face, and an ice mirror in front of her. Haku punched the mirror, but instead of hitting the mirror, her arm melted into the mirror. Suddenly, Fu felt something hit her in the back hard, and she was sent plummeting towards the ground.

Fu broke her fall somewhat by flapping her wings, but she still landed heavily. She looked up to where she had been and saw a mirror of ice with Haku's arm sticking out of it. The arm retracted back into the mirror, and Fu looked towards the real Haku and saw her taking her arm out of the mirror.

Both mirrors melted away as Haku started going through hand signs. She called out "Hyoton: Neko Hi Akuma-kyo Jigoku!" (Ice style: Cat fire demonic mirror hell) A series of 21 mirrors formed all around Fu in a dome. Blue flames then started leaking off of each of the mirrors, filling in the gaps that the mirrors left. The ground of the dome was also covered in a thick sheet of ice. The end result was a completely enclosed Fu, with no passage to escape from.

On the outside of the dome, Haku stepped into a mirror, and then reflected herself onto the other 20 mirrors.

(In the stands)

In the contestants' box, everyone was watching the match with great interest, when somebody behind them said "Haku-chan is really going all out now. It will be interesting to see how long it takes Fu-chan to escape this."

Everybody turned around to see Yugito walking up to them in her Hanyou form.

"Do you have any idea what technique this is? I can't see what's going on inside of it." asked Ino.

Yugito nodded and said "This is Haku-chan's newest specialty. Previously, she was able to create a dome of ice mirrors, but there were gaps in between that people could escape from. That normally wasn't a problem, as Haku-chan is quite fast, but it was still doable. This technique solves that issue. With the wall of cat flames in between the mirrors, it is almost impossible to escape. Even still, it's not perfect, as there are a few ways to escape this. A sufficiently powerful attack can shatter the mirrors, but that only gives a split second's time to escape, as the cat flames will quickly close the gap. The other main way that I would think to escape this would be to create a powerful enough shockwave that would blow away the cat flames, but that is also difficult to do, and the flames will return quickly. Fu-chan has her work cut out for her."

"Well Fu-chan could always try to ignite her scale powder on the flames. That would create quite the explosion." Stated Naruto.

"That's crazy!" shouted Ino. "An explosion of that magnitude would be suicidal since she's also stuck inside the dome!"

Hinata giggled and said "Actually, that's probably what Fu-chan will end up doing. She is a bit of an adrenaline junkie, and likes to live dangerously. Since she's a Hanyou, she would obviously survive, but she wouldn't escape unscathed, but neither would Haku-chan. It also depends on how much scale powder Fu-chan would use. I just hope she doesn't go overkill with it and use enough that it would hurt people in the stands."

With that, they all waited for whatever was going to happen.

(In the dome)

Fu was currently doing her best to dodge a seemingly endless amount of ice spikes and blue fireballs, but she had gotten hit several times. Suddenly, the barrage of attacks stopped and Haku's voice echoed out from seemingly everywhere at once, saying "If you don't do anything to escape this, then you will eventually be worn down."

Fu responded, saying "I know. That's why I intend on escaping this now! Thanks for stopping for a moment!" She then blurred through hand signs and shouted "Rinpun: Kaze Domu!" (Scale Powder: Wind Dome)

From Fu's body, a swirling dome of sparkling wind expanded off of Fu's body. Fu then held out her arms and shouted "EXPAND!" The dome began expanding in size rapidly, the sparkling wall quickly getting closer to the flaming dome.

Haku only just had the time to think "That settles it. Fu-chan is insane." The sparkling wall of wind then touched the dome of fire, all at once.

Everybody in the stadium was staring at the blue dome, wondering what was happening inside of it, when suddenly…

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!

The entire dome exploded with an astounding amount of force, sending out a shockwave that pinned everybody to their seats. Several people were knocked unconscious by the shockwave, and everybody suddenly felt like they were melting as the heat from the explosion suddenly hit them.

Fortunately the heat quickly left as it dissipated into the surrounding air, and the dust cloud that the explosion created began to settle.

When it finally settled, the entire crowd gasped in surprise. The entire floor of the stadium was now a giant, scorched crater. What surprised them even more was that in the middle of the stadium, both Fu and Haku were still standing. Both had blood dripping from their mouths, and both had several nasty burn marks on their bodies. However the burn marks on both of them were rapidly healing before everybody's eyes. However, there was one fact that caught everybody's attention.

Both Fu and Haku's clothing had been completely burned away, leaving them in their bras and panties, although Haku still had her storage armband on her right arm. Fu's were lime green, and Haku's were silver with light blue snowflakes.

(In the stands)

"How the hell are they still standing?" asked Ino loudly.

"Hmm…if I had to guess from what I felt happen to their chakras, both of them initiated a chakra cloak to protect themselves at the last moment." Said Naruto. "That was quite the explosion though, to be able to blast away a chakra cloak. It's a really good thing that they were wearing their durable undergarments, or they both would be naked right now."

Hinata giggled and said "They must have bought those from Durabra, the only shop that sells bras and panties that can withstand A rank jutsus. That's where I got what I'm wearing right now. They should really think about expanding their selection to include regular clothing. They would make quite the killing."

Meanwhile, a large portion of the crowd had nosebleeds at the sight of the barely clad girls. Shino and Yugito on the other hand were both thinking the same thing "She looks better without those on."

(In the arena)

The moment that Haku and Fu's burns had finished healing, they lunged at each other again. Their fists met each other, and a shockwave was the result. Fu back flipped away and sent six wind blades from each of her tails at Haku mid flip. Haku responded by creating an ice mirror, which took the six blades with barely a scratch.

Fu called out to Haku "How about we end this with one final technique each? Whoever's technique overpowers the other's is the winner of this fight."

"Very well. Let's see what you have got!" responded Haku.

Both combatants ran through hand seals and called out at the same time "Hyoton: Neko no Hi Oni Yari!" (Cat fire demon spear) and "Futon: Ju Kussatsu Tatsumaki!" (Double drilling tornado)

Two wind drills appeared around Fu's hands, and she launched them as one giant wind drill by punching with her fists together. Haku held her hand above her head, and an ornate ice spear that flickered with blue flames formed. Haku launched the spear by throwing her arm forwards.

The two techniques clashed. The flames on the spear ignited the wind, but surprisingly, that only seemed to fuel the drill's power. The now flaming drill slowly but surely started to grind away the ice spear.

Haku saw that her technique was losing, and she knew that she had to get out of the way. She leapt to the side just as the drill finished boring through the spear. The drill shot forwards and hit the stadium wall, which it proceeded to drill deeply into. Fortunately, most of the drill's power had been used up in the fight against the ice spear, and the technique dissipated before it could drill completely through.

Haku sighed and raised her hand and called out "Proctor, I forfeit. I agreed to a final jutsu clash and mine lost."

Genma jumped down and announced "The winner of the fifth match of the chunin exam finals is Fu Aburame!"

The crowd roared in applause as Haku and Fu shook hands and began heading back towards the contestants' box. The fight between the two Hanyou had truly been spectacular.

When Fu and Haku had cleared out, Genma announced "The final match of the first round of the chunin exam finals is Sabaku no Gaara vs. Naruto Namikaze! Will the contestants please come down to the center?"

Gaara looked to Naruto and nodded, before bursting into sand and reforming in the center of the stadium. Naruto kissed Hinata before shunshining to the center of the stadium in a swirl of blue flames.

With the two contestants now ready, Genma announced "Alright, the final match of the first round of the finals is Sabaku no Gaara vs. Naruto Namikaze! HAJIME!"

And that's a wrap. This chapter is a little short, but I only wanted to do the Fu vs. Haku fight in it. The next fight will be an entire chapter as well. However, tomorrow I am starting "Resonating Hearts", so we won't get to that until the next day.

Some of you might think that Haku's technique should have beaten Fu's, but Fu's technique was a little special. It absorbed the flames into itself and became stronger, instead of the flames using the wind completely as fuel. It did this since that technique was the pinnacle of wind manipulation. While most wind techniques wouldn't work against fire, if one reaches the pinnacle of wind manipulation, then the fire will instead be absorbed. Very few people can do this.

Anyways, until next time,
