Disclaimer/ Warnings: From now on I will only post these on the first chapter. I don't want to fill up the chapters with these things and annoy you, the readers. Sound fair?
From this point on the chapters will be told in the 3rd POV (point-of-view). Like in the series it will changed from one person's thoughts to another but that's it. Sorry I confused everyone but I'm done. And since this is my story the pairing of the fights will be changed up. The ones that will remain the same I won't bother to describe in great detail but others will. That's all I'm gonna say from here on.
"Family Ties"
By: Beloved Shadow of Light
+ Unexpected Outcomes +
Sarutobi looked at the young students that held the future of Konohakagure in their hands. Sighing deeply he nodded to Hayate to start the next match, looking up at the screen like everyone else. Names flickered rapidly for a few brief moments before stopping on the next two combatants.
Aburame Shino vs. Momochi Haku.
Haku took a deep breathe, holding it in before letting it out slowly. His body seemed to relax but his heart was still pounding in his chest. Looking up at his brothers he smiled, gaining a smile and nod in return then looked up at he man who saved his life and gave him a reason. He said nothing but nodded. Nodding back he walked past his opponent's teammates, glancing up at the pretty girl he gave her a small smile and continued down the stairs and into the arena. Shino was already waiting, his hands in his pockets and the collar pulled high to hide most of his face from view. Both were quiet as Hayate explained the rules once more. In the stands though, the boy with a small white puppy with dark brown ears was shouting his fool head off.
"C'mon Shino! You can beat that Haiku lady!" he shouted, the small dog tucked into his jacket barking in agreement.
"Hey dog breathe! His name is Haku and that's my brother!" Naruto yelled at him angrily. Only he was allowed to call Haku a girl.
"Hey not my fault he looks like a girl!" he growled.
"Least his breathe doesn't seem like rotten meat!"
"Watch it, blonde!"
"Make me, mutt!" The two were nose to nose, growling and ready to have it out but that was taken out of his hands when strong hands grab them by the scruff of their necks and forcefully pull them apart. Naruto fell quiet though he grabbed at his mentor's arm, knowing that same hand could break his neck. Akamaru growled and almost bit the stranger but immediately backed down, whimpering at the aura he was casting.
"Put me down, asshole!" Kiba growled but the hand tightened to the point of pain. He looked up and felt his body falling into a submissive state. The Inuzuka clan was famed for their abilities to work on the same level as the dogs they bred and raised so it wasn't unusual for the clan members to have developed similar abilities of their canine partners and right now, what the young teenager felt were the murderous intent and the strength to back it up.
Zabuza released Naruto, shoving him to where Gaara stood and ordered him to not make a sound. Turning he ignored everyone, walked up to the lovely kunoichi with the rust colored eyes and shoved him into her arms, watching as she straggled a bit. "Next time he insults my son and you do nothing to stop him, I'll personally rip out his tongue and to hell what the hokage says," he threatened in a cold as ice tone. Glaring at the boy he walked back to his team and watched as the fight began to take place.
Haku had seen it all and sighed, closing his eyes momentarily, taking another deep breathe then opening his dark eyes and looked at his opponent. He was once taught that you could learn more about a person by the way they hid themselves in the open more than any book could tell him.
'Quiet, calm, collective. A complete opposite to his teammate but this seems to be his nature and not some façade he does to fool others,' he thought to himself, knowing that the match was already called to begin. Breathing slowly he moved into a ready stance. "Good luck," he said politely. The other boy gave the briefest of nods, his body tensing in preparation for an attack.
--
"What the hell do you want?" Hidama demanded of the pale man before her.
"Now now, is that anyway to greet an old friend?" Orochimaru asks with mock hurt.
"With friends like you, who would need enemies?" she retorted as she gently placed the young girl down and stepped before her. "What are you doing in Konoha? You were banished decades ago."
"That may be but I have several promising students that couldn't wait to take the exams for themselves."
"... What have you done to my daughter?"
"My, aren't you impatient?"
"Tell me or else."
He chuckled as he moved closer but stopped when she dropped into a guard stance, hand curled around the hilt of her sword tightly. "Do you think you can pull your blade free before I reach you?"
She smirked at him coldly, staring into his heartless, reptilian eyes. "Care to see whose blade is faster, snake?" He frowned and took a step back but she refused to relax.
"That is another reason I'm here. I heard that a very promising student is taking the exams and I came to see if the rumors were true. He is a remarkable lad but sadly, he is not quite up to my exceptions. Not yet anyway."
She growled as she realized who he meant. Seeing that smirk on his pale lips made her want to just rush over and peel the skin from his skull like a piece of fruit. "Uchiha Sasuke. Tell me this, why wait until now to get him? You could have gotten him any time before and don't lie because I know you."
"While I could have retrieved him at such a young and tender age he just wasn't quite ready. You see he has something I want--or rather, he has something I need. It wasn't until this very moment that he has awakened it," he explained, grinning as his abnormally long tongue lolled out of his mouth, grinning as she shuddered at eh sight. "He's ripe for the picking and I intent to be the one to take them."
The words muddled in her head, swirling around as something she was suppose to remember tried to fight its way free. The Uchiha clan was know for many things, mostly for the fact it was once that it was the second most powerful family in the entire village having been branched off form the Hyūga clan generations ago, and that the Konoha Military Police was founded by one of the clan's founders. However, there was one thing that made this clan so insanely dangerous and powerful at the same time. Her eyes widen as realization finally settled in.
"He finally awakened the Sharingan."
--
Both youths jumped back, eyeing the other carefully but it was getting increasing difficult. Especially for Haku. He frowned and held the senbon needles tightly, waiting before lurching forward yet he quickly had to dodge as he saw the bugs approaching.
Though he would never say it Shino had to admire this young man. He was light on his feet but he moved swiftly, at one point or another confusing him and his ability to suppress his chakra was equally amazing. He seemed much too talented to be in the chunin exams but here he was, participating. Frowning he jumped back, avoiding several of the needles but when he stopped he blinked as he felt a small cut on his cheek open.
'How did he do that?' he asked himself quietly.
Up in the stands Naruto felt his eyes widen as he saw what looked like tiny black specks crawl out from the split skin. "What's going on with him?" he asked quietly. Gaara was silent as was Zabuza but even he was confused as to the matter at hand. He narrowed his eyes when he realized he could have a very faint bussing sound.
'Insects?' Peering closer he could see the specks move. Indeed crawling out form the boy's wound were indeed, still living insects. He quickly looked over at his adoptive son, quelling a sense of worry deep inside.
"Bugs?" Haku asked mostly to himself, completely blown away from what he was witnessing but he didn't have time to stay still. He launched himself backwards, avoiding the swarm rushing at him but wherever he went the bugs continued to follow. He swiped at them with his needles but even that was proving difficult as they were so small and so many it was almost impossible. Finally moving back far enough he dropped to a knee on the ground, panting lightly. He bugs retreated and hovered around the young man, buzzing lightly. "That's an interesting talent you have," he called out, trying to buy himself some time to think of a strategy.
"... It's a tradition that has been handed down in my clan for generations," he said simply but hidden behind his dark shades he nodded that a few of the bugs didn't make it and lay dead on the ground. Unconsciously his shoulders tensed and his hands tighten into fists. No one noticed this, no one except one person who's been studying him since before the match started.
--
The famed sannin laughed at the look at the woman's face. "Hai, it's his eyes I want and with them I will master each and every jutsu the world has to offer!" he laughed. "Imagine, the eyes of the most powerful clan in this pathetic village shall be used against them. No one will stop me!"
"I agree with you that this village is indeed pathetic, but don't think for one second that I will let you leave this place alive," she snarled, fingers curled into claws as she felt her blood boil. This was the same man who destroyed so many innocent lives and for what, to be used in his sickening experiments?
He gazed at her growling form, the way her eyes flickered, the chakra threatening to alert the guards. He just smirked and turned away, giving her his back. "Go ahead and kill me, if you wish. Here, I won't even lift a hand to defend myself." To show he meant what he said he lifted his hands up, waiting.
Hidama was many things, one of them being a dangerous mercenary with unnatural skills, but she could not stab anyone in the back. At one point she didn't care and slaughtered all who stood in her way, relishing in the blood that spewed forth from her victims as she tore through them mercilessly. Their begging pleas to be spared fell on deaf ears before her claws buried themselves into the soft skin of their throats. She shuddered as she slowly began to fall into the pleasurable haze, taking a step forward just to see what color his blood would be.
"No matter how evil and vile that person may be, a true shinobi should never lower themselves to striking them in the back. To do so would make you less than a warrior and more like a coward. Your honor and reputation will strengthen as one when you fight--and beat your opponent face-to-face. Always remember that, Hidama."
Her eyes widen as the words and memory hitting her full-force. "Toshiro..." she whispered to herself, eyes softening and threatening to overflow with tears but she held them back tightly, dropping her arms to her sides. "Next time you try to goad me into attacking you, make sure you're facing me like a true shinobi," she said coldly.
He looked at her over his shoulder, smirking. "What's the matter, Hidama-san? Have you gotten weak during your travels?"
"Not at all," she said with a smirk, placing her armor-clad hand on her hip; "Stabbing you in the back is much too good for a traitorous, coward like yourself."
He hissed angrily and faced her fully, anger evident on his pale face. "What your tongue, woman!"
"Same to you, reptile. Now get out of here before I run you through."
"This is far from over." Turning he left, his plan for vengeance including the pale woman.
--
Hayate blinked as he looked out in the arena. He still wasn't sure what happened but most of the ground was covered in sharp blocks of ice, some having close to injuring him but he watched as the feminine looking boy held his opponent bound, both hands encased in ice and the needles pointing at his throat. Coughing he raised his hand and declared the winner as Momochi Haku.
Shino couldn't believe he lost but there was no turning back. He felt the ice melt away and could hear the buzzing of his insects. They were still alive? He watched as his opponent pulled back, running his hand through his hair before pulling it up and securing it with the same needle he had at his throat moments before.
"I'm glad to have fought you," he said softly, extending his hand out to him. The other boy looked at him for a long time before slowly reaching out, and clasping his hand with his own. He watched as several of the bugs crawled on his opponent's hand but Haku didn't so much as squirm.
"So am I," he said calmly and called the insects back. Quickly they both headed up to the stands to join their teammates, the ice melting until it left nothing more than mud puddles along the hard packed earth. As they walked up the stairs Haku had to pause, gripping the railing tightly. Truth be told he was almost exhausted, using his kekkei genkai without a ready source of water was a very big risk and then combining Sensatsu Suishō with Hyōton.
'I won, but maybe it wasn't a good idea to show my true abilities,' he thought to himself, taking deep breathes.
"Um, a-are you alright?" a very soft, and timid voice asked. Standing at the top of the stairwell was a petite and pretty girl with dark blue-black hair cut short, framing her lilac-ice eyes. She wore an over-sized cream colored coat over midnight blue pants, the hitachi of Konoha tied around her slender neck..
"... I-I'm fine, arigato," he said softly, smiling as he tried to climb the rest of the stairs yet by the time he reached the top the next match was called and he was panting harder. Looking at the kind girl he smiled gently. "Your teammate is quite strong. I thought I would lose for a moment."
She blushed faintly, nervously tapping her fingertips together. "S-Shino-kun is a good friend and very strong. I-I'm glad you didn't k-kill the insects though," she admitted so softly it was almost impossible to hear her.
"I couldn't destroy what was precious to him. Arigato for your concern and good luck to you and your other teammate." Giving her a light bow in respect he slowly walked over to his teammates. Hinata watched and couldn't help but blush. That young man was so kind to her and charming, he wasn't the least bit repulsed from the insects from her teammate. She felt her cheeks burn hotter and covered them desperately with her hands, trying to hide them before anyone could see.
In the arena a girl with her hair tied up into two buns and dressed in a sleeveless top with a short collar and loose pants stood facing a rather--husky boy wearing a green coat with a long scarf, wrappings around his arms and legs. Hayate nodded to them, asking if they understood the rules before announcing they could fight. It was strange since neither made a move to fight but growing tired of waiting the girl, Tenten, reached behind her back and let loose at least a dozen shurikens and kunais at the husky teenager. Now everyone was at least expecting some sort of reaction but not this; he screamed and ducked down into a ball, hands thrown over his head. A majority of the weapons missed him but a few tore through his coat and one kunai tore through an extra large bag of salt-and-vinegar chips marked with extra flavor.
"Uh-oh. She's gonna get it now," a lazy and bored teenager commented as he leaned on the railing, propping his chin on his folded arms.
"... That, was my last bag of chips," he said in an eerie sort of calm as he slowly stood, his chubby face pulled into a scowl.
The girl huffed, acting like it was nothing important and to her it wasn't that big a deal. "You're not suppose to bring food into the arena anyway. And how are you going to defeat your enemy if you're busy munching away on those greasy things?" she asked.
"That was my favorite flavor. You owe me a new one!" he demanded angrily.
"Are you serious? Why don't you lay off them for a while, you're getting a little big around the waist."
"She better stop while she's ahead," a girl with pale blonde hair remarked next to the lazy boy.
"What did you say?" Choji asked quietly.
"Kami, do I have to repeat myself? No respectable shinobi would ever let himself get as fat as you have!"
"I'M NOT FAT; I'M HUSKY!!" Everyone was not only taken back but the bellowing shout but also by the aura he was casting. "Ninjutsu: Baika no Jutsu!!" In a small poof of smoke the young and very angry teenage boy was now a very "round" teenage boy.
Tenten blinked but smirked as she reached behind her and removed three scrolls from their hidden place. "I honestly didn't think I would have to use this jutsu against you but it looks like your finally serious about fighting."
"Damn straight!! I'm gonna make you buy me a new bag of chips!!"
"That's if you win. Now prove you're worthy of being called a shinobi!"
"Gladly! Nikudan Sensha!" Choji's arms and legs seemed to pull themselves into his body, soon followed by hi head but then he starting rolling in place, winding up then was let loose. To the audience he resembled a loose cannonball that had been winding up before released.
"Watch out, Tenten!!" another young boy, dressed in a forest green spandex suit yelled down, his shiny black hair cut in a bowl style that almost did nothing to enhance his dinner-plate round eyes and extremely thick eyebrows.
The kunoichi nimbly jumped out of the way, watching as the butterball headed directly into a wall but instead of ramming into it he did a sharp, hairpin turn and was heading in her direction once more. 'He's not playing around!' she thought to herself, forcing herself to try and stay a step ahead of him but it was getting increasing difficult. With all the rolling around he was getting increasingly faster. Jumping into the air she bit her thumb, drawing blood and unraveling one of her scrolls smeared blood on it. At once it began raining down razor sharp kunais, all aimed at the rolling youth. "Try and dodge this!" she shouted.
All the weapons hit their mark but while many sank into the rolling flesh others skidded off, hitting the hard packed earth instead. However, Choji showed no signs of slowing down even the tiniest bit. Instead the kunais were now pointing outward, razor sharp edges pointing outward and he was laughing though it was heavily muffled deep within his body.
"Kasui Nikudan Sensha!!" With a heavy lurch the giant ball of flesh was now going up the wall of the arena, sailing out into the air and heading straight for the young lady, resembling a now spiked cannonball. And she knew if she got hit, it would be the end.
"Sōshōryū!!" Unraveling both scrolls she had left she began to spin in a cyclone, letting the scrolls wrap around her as she smeared her blood on the parchment, summoning each and every weapon they held. She hurled them with such accurate and precise aim everyone was surprised to see not one weapon missing their mark but even that didn't seem to stop the young man. Both youths struck at the same time, causing a kind of explosion (several of the weapons seemed to have had explosive tags) followed by the sound of something heavy hitting the ground. A large cloud of smoke rose into the air, blinding Hayate but as it settled they could see that both combatants, were unable to continue fighting. Tenten was bleeding from various places, struggling to stand yet unable to. Choji was laying flat out o his stomach, muttering how dizzy he was and twitching. He, too, was covered in various cuts.
"Both combatants are unable to fight so it is a double loss!" he declared, watching as the medics entered the arena.
"Young man, are you alright?" one of the medics asked once they carefully turned Choji onto his back.
"I want... beef..." he answered, still dizzy from rolling around so much.
Asuma chuckled, smiling at they carried his student off. 'You did good, kiddo. I'm proud of ya.'
Once the medics and heir patients were out of the way the next fight was announced: Haruno Sakura vs. Yamanaka Ino. Two girls, the one with the pale blonde hair tied into a high-ponytail and another with short bubblegum pink hair looked at one another before moving down to the arena. Naruto watched as his teammate made to go down then reached out and gently aught her arm.
"Hey, Sakura-chan;" he smiled at her when she looked up into his face and said, "I know you'll beat her and I'll be here, cheering the entire time for ya."
She blinked at him before smiling, reaching up to cover his hand and squeezed it tightly. "Arigato, Naruto. I, I needed that." Taking a deep breathe she went down to fight her match. The blonde watched her every step of the way, grinning the railing tightly. The fight started off without a hitch, both kunoichis going at it first with insults, claiming how the other was going to win but then it began to get serious as it wore on. Naruto was there the entire way, telling his teammate that she could do it he barely registered the fact that his mother had returned and was now talking with Zabuza.
"How is she?" he asked. When she didn't answer he looked over and saw her eyes were troubled. Frowning he called out her name. "Hidama?"
She blinked and rubbed at her eyes, sighing deeply. "She's fine. She's resting right now but she not completely stable just yet. How'd everything go here?" she asked, noting that Haku was now sitting against the wall, his eyes half-close, looking like he was about to doze off.
"Haku won his match but he exhausted himself completely. Naruto's teammate is fighting right now."
"I see."
"Something happened." She refused to look at him and he knew it wasn't good but he also knew he couldn't push her. He looked straight ahead, watching as the blonde girl cut off her hair, throwing it on the ground.
"Zabuza, I want you to swear something to me."
"Depends on what it is."
"Swear, that if anything happens to me you'll continue to raise Naruto, Gaara, Shiruba, and Haku as your own flesh and blood. Raise them to their potential and beyond."
"Nani?" He looked over at her but she still refused to look at him, staring straight ahead. "Do you plan on dying anytime soon?" Slowly she looked up at him, her eyes unreadable.
"Swear to me."
He looked at her for a long time, trying to figure what she was saying but it was useless. He had yet to meet anyone who could break through his partner's walls and find what her true thoughts lay. He gave her the briefest of nods as he answered her. "I swear."
Nodding she slowly looked ahead as both young ladies charged at one another, fists held high and tight. "I'm going to hold you to it."
Naruto watched as both Sakura and Ino's fists hit home--right into one another's cheeks with a resounding punch. Everything seemed to go into slow motion as they both fell back with the force of their attacks, skidding in the dirt he waited, biting his lip as he mentally told Sakura to get up but it was no use. The match had ended as a double knock-out. As Hayate proclaimed this both Asuma and Kakashi jumped down into the arena and carefully gathered up their students, wavering off the medics. Even though both young women lost they proved themselves strong and with much potential. Once the arena was cleared the next match was called.
Uzumaki Naruto vs. Inuzuka Kiba.
The boy with the dog gave a growl and jumped into the right, the small puppy with him the entire time. He blonde paused though and looked at his mentors, realizing his mother had returned. "Two questions: how's Shiruba and how come he can bring a dog into the arena?"
She held up two fingers. "Second question, animals are considered tools of the trade and it seems his family specializes in adapting canines to their fighting styles." Then she held up only one finger. "First question, she's fine and is resting right now. You can visit her once your match is over."
"Hmm... I'll wait until we're done. Wouldn't be fair to everyone else," he said softly, blessing his family with a sincere smile.
"Oye, hurry up blondie! I don't have all day!" the boy in the fur-lined coat yelled at him.
"Shut up, mutt face!" he yelled back, leaping over the railing so he could land in the arena. Unlike the last two matches this was slightly longer but it also bore its own share of blunders here and there. Naruto proved that he almost no skill when it came to taijutsus, relying heavily on his meager weapons and some ninjutsus. Kiba proved to have the ferocity of the canine family indeed such as the speed and strength; especially when he performed the seals for the Ninjutsu: Shikyaku no Jutsu. At one point the blue-eyed blonde had managed to trick the canine-lover with several Kage Bunshins, holding the small puppy hostage but that was taken from his hands when he was given a red pill to eat. At once his fur bled to a reddish hue and the charka levels rose to newer heights.
"Gah!!" Naruto released the dog, jumping back as the animal ran to his opponent, jumping onto his back.
"Heh. Jūjin Bunshin!!" A puff of smoke and the now there were two Kibas, one crouched on the shoulders of the others. "You're going down!!"
"Nani?!" Both youths tore into him with their claws for nails, shredding his jacket to pieces but he refused to give up. He studied them hard, trying to remember the training Hidama had once tried drilling into his skull when he was younger but he hadn't really cared about them. What was the point when his mother was there to protect him? 'But she can't always be there to save me. I gotta stand on my own!' Growling himself, he launched himself at his opponents, setting off several explosive tags.
"Kiba-kun!"
"Naruto-kun!"
Everyone waited for halted breathe as the dust began to clear but--now there were three Kibas?? Haku having finally awoken due to all the loud noise, was watching with large eyes. Now his was impressive indeed. It seemed like his little brother was finally using his brain for something other than pranks.
'You can do this, Naru-kun. Prove that you are more than just another goof-off.'
One of the Kiba's smirked, eyeing the other two carefully. "Now I get it. You henged yourself to look like us. Nice try but, I know Akamaru's scent better than anyone else!" he faced one of his clones and charged at him, cocking his fist back. "You lose!!" Slamming his fist into the clone's face he smirked, watching as he crashed into the ground but once he hit the ground there was a poof of smoke and in the clone's place was a battered white puppy with brown ears. "A-Akamaru?!" Furiously he turned, punching the other boy so he crashed to the ground but he turned to the puppy who was struggling to his feet. "Gomen Akamaru, but look, we won!"
The puppy growled softly as he stood, tail waging eh ran towards him, barking. Kiba grinned as he knelt, ready to hug the little animal close once he was close he watched as those sharp teeth clamped down on his hand, actually drawing blood. "Gross, you even taste like a dog!" came a muffled voice.
"Nani?!" Another poof of smoke revealed the dog to actually be Uzumaki in disguise! Taking a quick look he saw the real dog lying on his side, having been taken out by his owner. "Damn you!!"
Naruto let go, spitting and running his hand over the back of his mouth. "That's disgusting! Remind me to never bite you anywhere! Now its your turn. Ninjutsu: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Several exact replicas of the blonde appeared, each grinning before running forward. "Try this on for size! U!!" One clone kicked him hard, lifting him in the air slightly.
"Zu!!" Another kick sending him higher.
"Ma!!" A powerful kick in his lower back.
"Ki!!" A sharp uppercut to his jaw finally set him flying even higher into the air where the fourth Naruto was waiting, a large grin on his face that made his whisker-like scars give him a mischievous foxy appearance.
"Naruto Rendan!!" Twisting his body he threw all his strength into a kick that sent the sore Kiba, into the groun with a resounding bam. Naruto landed with a stagger, panting. Around hi the clones dispatched one by one until it was just him. Kiba was lying in the small crater, not moving.
"Uzumaki cough Naruto, is the winner!" Hayate called out.
Sighing the blonde chuckled but fell flat on his ass, gasping for breathe. "I did it... he's was a tough mutt though," he said mostly to himself, watching as the medics came and placed him on a stretcher.
"Would you like some help?" a man dressed in white asked, kneeling enxt to him with a medical kit at his side.
"I'm fine. Just, need to get up;" grunting he got to his feet (with the medic's help), sighing as he slowly walked back to the stands but he stopped and turned around, going to Kiba's side. "Mutt-face."
Looking up at him he gave a half-smirk. "You got lucky, blondie..."
"Whatever. Just get better 'cuz I want a rematch."
"You're on. Hey, do me a favor, will ya?"
"Hai."
"Tell Hinata to be careful... if she has to fight Neji or that guy with red-hair, tell her to forfeit! Hear me?" There was something in his eyes that showed that this was not to bring her down ar anything, it was an underlining fear of something terrible.
"You can trust me just, get better." He watched as he left and headed up to join his family but as he looked at everyone he frowned. He had no idea who Neji was, and the red-head, surely he didn't mean Gaara but the only other guy was the one from Suna. Rubbing the side of his nose he joined his family.
"Does anyone who this Neji guy is?" he asked as he joined his team, leaning against the railing.
Kakashi looked at the blonde in surprise. "Hyūga Neji?"
"I guess. Kiba told me to tell Hinata that if she has to fight him or the red-head to forfeit. Who is he anyway?"
"I don't know anything about the red-head from Suna. But for Neji..." He looked over at a pale young man with glossy back hair tied into a loose ponytail with the same colored eyes as the girl Haku spoke with earlier. "It's a long story but Neji holds a deep hatred for his cousin, Hinata. He will do anything to prove he's better than her, especially now."
He looked over at him and frowned deeply, almost glaring at him. From what he could tell Hinata was a very quiet, shy, and pretty girl. He couldn't see her doing anything that would make an enemy from her own family. "I hate him," he said quietly but with such venom is surprised the silver-haired jounin and his teammate with the inky black hair. He looked up in time to see the next match being announced and his eyes went wide.
Hyūga Hinata vs. Hyūga Neji.
Author's Notes: And the battles have begun. Yeah some of them are gonna be the same and others are mixed up, as you can already tell. And as you can tell, Naruto is slowly dropping the mask he wears around strangers. It's not much but you won't be able to tell the serious change until much later. That's it; I'm gonna try to work on my other fics as well. Sorry for the bad spelling and grammar earlier, my Word program wasn't working right so I had to repair it but hopefully this is better. Later all!
