Here's a response to a review:
StarTrail: I am aware that spelling Guy's name the way I am would be confusing to Tales fans, since there is someone named Guy in Tales of the Abyss. But, if I make a crossover of Naruto and Tales of the Abyss, I will spell Guy from Naruto as Gai to prevent confusion. But it isn't necessary in this one since no one is named Guy in Tales of Vesperia.
Judith readied her spear, focusing her sights on a boulder. She took a deep breath and teleported above it.
"Moonbeam!"
She swung Brionac down, the energy blasting the boulder to rubble. She landed and sighed. She'd been at this all day, but it wasn't nearly as fun if she wasn't doing it to someone else. Even though Shikamaru looked like he didn't have a single care in the world, he was an excellent strategist. Judith knew it would take more than brute force to beat him. She smiled, trying to imagine how Yuri and Flynn's match would go.
"Hey, ya out here all by yourself?" Judith turned to see Kiba walking up to her, Akamaru running alongside him. "It'll be better if ya have someone to train with."
"If that's fine with you, dog-breath," Judith replied. Kiba narrowed his eyes.
"Hey, I was offering a friendly sparring match, but if ya wanna get serious, you're on!"
Judith smirked, shifting into a battle stance. "Bring it!"
Kiba crouched down and make a hand sign, Akamaru leaping onto his back. "Ninja Art: Beast Mimicry!" Akamaru transformed into Kiba in a puff of smoke. "Fang Over Fang!"
Judith leaped back to dodge the two. She performed Dawn Moon, but they avoided the arte. She ducked as the two came at her again and performed her Mystic Arte.
"Radiant...Moonlight!" she shouted, bringing her spear down on the two and stopping their attack. Akamaru turned back to normal, shivering and letting out a few whimpers.
"Akamaru! Are you okay?!" Kiba exclaimed, running over to the puppy. He scooped the dog up and turned to Judith. "I'll stop for now. I've gotta admit, you're pretty strong."
"Why thank you," Judith replied, giving him a smile. Kiba blushed and turned away.
"Yeah, uh, you can ask if you want to train again, I guess."
"I'll think about it," Judith said.
"Dragon Swarm!"
Flynn's rapid sword slashed felled yet another tree in no time. He stumbled into one behind him, sliding down into a sitting position and breathing heavily. He'd used up a lot of energy during training. He glanced around, seeing several trees lying around. But he knew that one month would fly by. Flynn got to his feet, readying another arte when a voice stopped him.
"Impressive. I can see you're burning with the power of youth!"
Flynn looked up, seeing Guy standing on a tree branch directly above his head. 'When did he get there?!' Flynn wondered. 'I didn't even see him! How long has he been standing there?!'
"I admire the fact you are still willing to train, even though it's obvious most of your strength has been used up," Guy continued. "I noticed your teamate Yuri just lounging around instead of training. You're different. I like you! That's why I'm going to give you a gift!" Guy pulled out a green bodysuit, exactly like the one he and Lee wore.
'If I wore that, Yuri will never let me hear the end of it,' Flynn thought before saying, "I'm sorry, but I can't accept it. Thank you, anyway."
But Guy didn't give up. "With this work of art, you're skills will improve drastically. That armor you're wearing must be so restricting. With this, you can move freely!"
"I'm used to the armor," Flynn replied. "Wearing anything else would prove too much a change for me. Besides, I need my blastia. Without it, I can't perform any artes."
Guy leaped down, landing in front of Flynn and making the Knight back up a few steps. "I see. But I could show you how to fight without one. As you can see, I am a master of taijutsu. I'll whip you into shape in no time!"
"Look, I can just abandon all my training as a Knight," Flynn explained. "Some of the techniques are worth keeping."
"Very well," Guy sighed, putting the bodysuit back. "But I'd like to ask a favor of you."
"What is it?" Flynn asked.
"It's Lee. I've seen you are capable of healing. I wanred to ask if you could try healing Lee so he doesn't have to give up on being a ninja," Guy replied. "I'm begging you. He means the world to me!"
"If only Lady Estellise were here," Flynn murmured. "She'd have no problem with her skills at healing. Okay, I'll try."
Guy grabbed Flynn's wrist. "Thank you! Now charge!" Guy started running, practically dragging Flynn behind him.
"Whoa! Hold on! Ouch! Slow down!" Flynn cried out, trying to keep up. He almost passed out when they reached the hospital. He went up to the nurse's desk, where Sakura and Ino were. They turned when they saw the two.
"Oh! Guy-sensei! And Flynn!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Hello, girls," Guy replied, then turned to the nurse. "We'd like to see Lee, please. This man here will be able to heal him no problem!"
"I never said that!" Flynn exclaimed. "All I said was that my magic might be able to fix him! I never said it would fo sure!"
"Well, these girls are going to see Lee after visiting Sasuke," the nurse replied. "You can come with us."
"Will do!" Guy replied. The nurse led them down the hall and into Sasuke's room. However, he was missing. They found that his clothes were gone as well, suggesting he left on his own accord. They went to Lee's room next, but he was missing as well. However, Sakura spotted him outside doing push-ups. Everyone ran outside, trying to stop him, but he snapped at them to stay away. However, he passed out soon and a few nurses ran out with a stretcher, placing him on it and carrying him back into the hospital.
Flynn was trying to heal Lee's injuries before the other nurses arrived. He narrowed his eyes and stopped the healing arte, standing up and turning to Guy.
"I'm afraid I can't do anything," Flynn said. "His injuries are too severe for a simple First Aid spell to work. If Lady Estellise were here, she'd probably have much better luck. I'm sorry to say that I can't do a thing."
"I see," Guy murmured, looking down. "Thank you for trying anyway. But I won't give up until Lee is healed!
Yuri leaned back on the roof he was sitting on, staring up at the sky. He couldn't believe that soon he'd have a serious battle with Flynn. That didn't happen since the Colliseum. He sighed, thinking just how much of a pain the match was going to be.
"Hey, Yuri!" Yuri looked down, seeing Judith calling out at him.
"What is it, Judy?" Yuri asked.
"Just wanted to know if you were ready for the final rounds," Judith replied.
"Are you?"
"Born ready."
Yuri looked back up at the sky. "Well, I've been training, but it doesn't seem as productive if I'm not doing it against someone."
"You could train with me," Judith offered.
"Thanks, Judy," Yuri replied, picking Second Star up and leaping off the roof. He and Judith went off into one of the training areas and readied their weapons.
"Just so you know, I won't hold back because I doubt Flynn will either," Judith warned.
"Same here," Yuri replied with a smirk. Judith charged at him.
"Dawn Moon!" she shouted. Yuri blocked her spear with his katana and pushed back.
"Azure Edge!" Yuri said, shooting out a blue energy wave. Judith leaped over it and went at Yuri again.
"Rising Moonlight Havoc!" Yuri's eyes widened and he sidestepped, narrowly preventing her from taking him into the air. However, she anticipated this and spun around. "Thunder Moon!"
Yuri rolled out of the way as Judith brought her spear down, lighting following it. He went up and kicked her up into the air and following it up with several more kicks. "Wailing Havoc!"
Judith landed on the ground with a grunt, looking up as she saw Yuri with his sword pointed at her neck.
"Guess I lose..." Judith sighed, getting up when Yuri pulled his sword away. However, when Yuri put the sword back, she grabbed his wrist and flipped him over her shoulder and onto his back. He gritted his teeth and glared up at her. "Now we're even."
"Cheater..." Yuri growled.
It was the day of the final rounds. All the competitors stood in the arena as the people filling the stands cheered. Naruto had come in last after yelling that he had been chased by 'a million bulls'. Sasuke, however, had yet to arrive and they were forced to begin the first match against Naruto and Neji.
Naruto won his match by outsmarting Neji, hiding underground and bursting through, punching Neji in the jaw. Since Sasuke hadn't arrived yet, it was decided that his match would be postponed until he did.
It was Shino and Kankuro's match next, but for some reason Kankuro chose to withdraw, alowing Shino to move on.
Now it was the match between between Shikamaru and Judith. Naruto shoved Shikamaru over the gallery, making him fall about thirty feet to the ground. Judith waited until he finally got up and walked over.
"Begin," the proctor said.
"Geez, I know I'm gonna be in a world of hurt... What a drag," Shikamaru grumbled.
"Go for it, Shikamaru!" Ino shouted from the stands. "Use a super-ultimate technique on her and take that bitch down!"(I couldn't resist putting that in, even though that's what Ino says for Shikamaru and Temari's match)
"Yeah, yeah. But I'm gonna get my ass kicked by her," Shikamaru said.
"Did she just call me a bitch...?" Judith murmured, narrowing her eyes to where Ino was sitting with Sakura and Choji.
"Ah well, enough beating around the bush, I guess," Shikamaru said, making a hand sign. "Shadow Possession Jutsu!"
Judith smirked and leaped back as the shadow came at her. At last, it reached its limit and stopped. Judith charged as it retracted, forcing Shikamaru to duck while she swung her spear. She leaped up.
"Luna Storm!" she shouted, kicking down. Shikamaru was blasted back when an electric shockwave was produced from her hitting the ground. He got up as she went at him again. "Piercing Moon!"
Shikamaru dodged as she shot up with her spear, as if aiming for the moon itself. He made a handsign, trying to catch her with Shadow Possession Jutsu for when she landed. But Judith saw through this. She used New Moon Blade, soaring over Shikamaru and landing behind him, spinning around quickly to use another arte. But the shadow had turned, heading for Judith. Judith leaped back a few times, getting out of range of the shadow.
"Not bad," Judith admitted.
"Not bad yourself," Shikamaru replied. The shadow came closer
"Too bad your shadow can't go any further than this," Judith smirked.
"Oh really?" Judith's eyes widened as the shadow didn't stop where she was sure it would. She quickly leaped back. Eventually, the shadow stopped and Judith looked up, glaring. Shikamaru had made a mini parachute to cast a shadow, allowing his shadow to move further.
"I really think this entire thin's a drag, but I don't plan on losing to a girl," Shikamaru said.
"And I don't plan on losing to a slacker," Judith replied, readying her spear. Lighting rained down and she leaped up. "Radiant...Moonlight!" She swung her spear down, producing a giant cloud of dust. Under the cover of it, Judith charged forward, spotting the dark form of Shikamaru. "Moonlight Blast!"
She spun, ramming the butt of her spear into Shikamaru and a blue energy blast erupted from it, sending him into the wall. However, he was engulfed in a puff of smoke and a log was in his place.
'A substitution...Oh no!' Judith though, spinning around. The shadow almost had her as she leaped over it, running out of the dust as it began to clear. She turned back around, seeing the real Shikamaru. Judith was about to take a step forward when she froze, unable to move.
"Wh-what?!" Judith exclaimed.
"Here. I'll allow you to look behind you," Shikamaru said, looking back and Judith doing the same. Her eyes widened when she saw she was caught be his shadow, which had moved through the hole Naruto used to beat Neji. Her head was forced to look ahead again and she found herself walking toward him. When the two were facing each other, he started raising his hand, Judith doing the same.
"What...are you going to do...?" Judith asked.
"I, Shikamau Nara, forfeit the match."
"What?!" Judith exclaimed. The shadow binding her to Shikamaru retreated, allowing her to move on her own again.
"I'm almost out of chakra. Too bad, really," Shikamaru said. "I had my next 200 moves planed out, too. Oh well."
"Judith moves on to the next round," the proctor announced. Boos erupted from the stands and objects were being thrown at Shikamaru, who sighed and headed back to the gallery. Judith stood there for a few seconds, comprehending what just happened, and followed.
"Now Flynn Scifo and Yuri Lowell. Plese come down," the proctor said. The two headed down and faced each other.
"Just like old times, huh?" Yuri smirked.
"Yeah," Flynn agreed.
"Begin."
The two swung their swords, clashing them and leaping back.
"Azure Edge!"
"Demon Fang!"
The two attacks cancelled each other out and they charged again, Yuri performing Tiger Blade and Flynn dodging, using Sonic Thrust and slicing Yuri on the arm. Yuri quickly swung his sword, cutting Flynn across the chest and leaping back.
"Azure Storm!" Yuri shouted, firing off two consecutive Azure Edges. Flynn blocked the first and was sent backwards by the second. A magic circle appeared under Flynn and he used Holy Lance. A couple hit Yuri as he tried dodging, gritting his teeth against the pain. He took a deep breath and shot out at Flynn, his katana covered in flames.
"Divine Wolf- -Blaze!" Yuri shouted, quickly slashing his sword at Flynn, the flames slicing at him before Yuri leaped up, shooting the flames at Flynn. Flynn sidestepped to avoid this last attack, panting and having one hand over is chest. He blocked Yuri's Brutal Fang and counterattacked with Demonic Circle. Yuri flipped over him, using Destruction Flield. Flynn was knocked back a few feet, but got back up.
"You're getting better, Yuri," Flynn said.
"You too," Yuri replied. He charged forward, using Cerberus Blast, punching Flynn three times before a fourth punch caused energy to blast Flynn back. Flynn rolled out of the way of Yuri's Crushing Eagle and got up, golden energy enveloping his sword.
"Light Dragon...Destruction!" Flynn shouted, firing the three golden dragons. They created a large dust cloud, preventing anyone from seeing what happened. However, just as the dust began clearing, Yuri shot out, elbowing Flynn in the stomach and leaping up, landing a kick to the blonde's head and knocking him down. He got to his hands and kness, coughing up blood and trying to stand when he felt something against his neck. It didn't take a genius to know it was Yuri's sword.
"The winner is Yuri Lowell," the proctor said.
"I won?!" Yuri exclaimed, unable to believe it himself. He put his sword back, allowing Flynn to stand.
"I guess you did," Flynn replied, using First Aid to heal most of his wounds.
"Hah! Loser!" Yuri said. Flynn narrowed his eyes and punched Yuri in the arm where he had been cut, causing Yuri to cry out. "What the hell?!
"Get serious! You still have another match!" Flynn replied. However, leaves swirled in a whirlwind and Kakashi and Sasuke appeared.
Due to popular decision, Sasuke and Gaara would fight first, so Yuri and Flynn went back up to the gallery to join Judith.
The match was interrupted when an explosion from the Hokage's area appeared and ninja began fighting ninja. Before that, everyone in the audience, except those who released genjutsu, fell asleep. Strangely, Yuri, Flynn, and Judith weren't affected and they went down to where Naruto and Shikamaru had gone earlier in the match. There, Sakura had just woken Naruto. Near her was a pug, Pakun, who bit Shikamaru's hand when Sakura discovered Shikamaru was faking being asleep.
A Sound ninja went behind Naruto, but Guy punched him through the wall, creating a giant opening. Kakashi appeared and explained the situation, saying that Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, Yuri, Flynn, and Judith were going to chase down Sasuke, who went chasing the Sand ninja when they escaped. Everyone then went out the hole and into the forest.
