1\The month had gone by quickly for the competitors. Maiku, along with summoning, had learned seven of his family's techniques along with improving his jutsu. Naruto, along with summoning, had improved his jutsu and created two new ones.
"Well that month went by fast." Maiku said as he massaged his left shoulder.
"Seems like only yesterday we finished the preliminaries." Naruto was bandaging his left arm. The two had finished sparring with Kyuubi and Bogu.
"You two suck" Kyuubi laughed.
"Damn fox." Naruto muttered. "Yo aniki, lets get some ramen."
"Alright, might as well. Got nothing else to do." The two went to ramen bar. "Hey Ayame, the usual please."
"Twenty four bowls coming up." She laughed. "So where have you two been? Haven't seen you at all this month."
"Training, we got the chunin exams tomorrow." Naruto said. "Aniki your call."
"Oh, hit." Naruto and Maiku had started a card game while waiting for their food. "Twenty one."
"God damn it." Naruto cursed as he reshuffled the deck of cards. They were your rather unusual cards, the front was fine, but the back was colored black with an orange Kyuubi head in the center.
Maiku stared at the back of the cards. "Always gets the villagers upset when we play against them."
"And easier to take their money. I swear they gotta think straight if they want to beat us." Naruto put the cards off to the side as the ramen was placed in front of them. "Thanks." naruto mumbled between bites.
"Thanks." Maiku said 'before' eating. Twelve bowls went down quickly for both of them.
"Hey aniki one more round." Naruto dealt out the cards.
Maiku picked his up. "Blackjack."
"Fuck." Naruto's head hit the counter. Ayame just laughed.
"Well now what do you want to do?" Maiku asked. The two were just walking around Konoha.
Naruto was about to answer when a group of villagers approached them. "Can't believe they let the demon make all the way to the finals."
Naruto pointed to the villager. "Come closer and say that."
And he did, he leaned in. "Can't-" He didn't get any farther as a fist connected with his face. Another villager rushed the blonde, an arm raised to punch him, But Maiku just grabbed it and easily tossed him away.
"Oh now this is fun." Naruto said as the two became surrounded.
"Yeah." Maiku said. So they spent most of the night brawling. "Where do they keep coming from?"
"I guess they're really mad." Naruto sighed as he blocked another punch and kicked the man in the chest. "Fuck this Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"
"Good idea, lets go." Maiku dropped two smoke bombs and dived out of the crowd, followed by Naruto. "Half an hour before they figure out what happened." Naruto nodded, agreeing as they walked back to the compound.
"Damn villagers!" Maiku shouted as he ran his arm under the faucet.
"I know what you mean!" Naruto shouted back, he was wrapping a bandage around his leg. They were shouting because they were down the hall from each other.
"I swear I'm going to kill one!" Maiku shut off the water, sure his arm was disinfected, then dried it of the water a blood that remained.
"Let me know when so I can help!" Naruto walked into the living room and crashed onto the couch. A minute later Maiku fell into an armchair and reclined back. Gedin walked in and noticed the two.
"What happened to you guys? A fight?" Asked the young cub.
"Yeah." Was all Maiku said as he fell asleep.
Naruto heard the front door open and someone walked into the living room. "How was your mission Tenten?"
"Fine." Tenten walked over to her husband and kissed his forehead. "Another brawl?"
"Yeah." said Gedin.
"Great." Tenten sighed and went to her room.
Maiku and Naruto were now eating breakfast. Tenten made them something special, and she was watching Naruto carefully, a kunai ready incase he said something. "This is good." The blonde said between bites of food.
"As always." Maiku said as he downed the last of his food. "I'll be getting ready." Maiku went to his room and looked over his clothing. He put on his usual black boots and pants. A sash around his left shoulder and around his right side. The sash was red and fitted with eleven scrolls, one of which was Zabuza's sword. He strapped on his sword, hilt by his right shoulder. E picked up his chain and wrapped it around his waist. He had no shirt on, showing his muscles and a long scar running down his left arm he got from training in the forest of death. He had asked Bogu to leave a scar.
Naruto had on a black muscle shirt, sword on his back. He had on navy blue pants and black ninja sandals. He bandaged his arms. "Ready to go?" Came a voice from downstairs.
Naruto left his room and walked downstairs. "Yeah." Naruto was out the door.
"See you later." Maiku kissed Tenten before following Naruto.
"Can I go watch boss in the exam?" Gedin asked.
Tenten smiled down at the young cub. "Of course." The lion jumped into her arms and they left.
"Naruto Uzamaki and Neji Hyuuga will remain down here. Everyone else go to the competitors booth." Maiku bumped fists with Naruto.
"Kick his ass." Maiku walked of.
"I will." Naruto turned his attention to Neji. "You ready?"
"Fate has decided in my favor Naruto, you should give up." Neji got into his fighting stance, in the event Naruto didn't forfeit.
"You still going on about that fate crap. Didn't aniki and I beat it out of you during that group training?"
"The best training ever! You should have seen how many wounds he had." He said to the others in the booth.
"Regardless. I have trained since then."
"As have I." Naruto flashed through some hand sign. "Fuuton: Kamaitachi."
"I never bothered to figure out how he learned my technique."
"Oh that, yeah he sort of had a clone spy on everyone train at the tower. I couldn't help but agree, thinking it was a good idea. Guess he saw you use it and worked it out himself." Temari was mad, so Maiku inched away.
"That little bastard."
Neji had dodged the attack by moving to the left and ran towards Naruto who had created two clones. Neji easily destroyed the clones. "Shit."
"I'll end this now, Hakke Rokujuuyonshou." After the attack Naruto fell to the ground. "Its over, call the match." Before the proctor could a cloud of red smoke covered a good portion of the field.
"Kit, are you ok?" Kyuubi asked as picked Naruto up.
"How the hell did you get out?" Was all Naruto was able to say.
"Worry about that later." Screams came from the crowd and shouts of demon. "Shut up!" Kyuubi growled as Naruto made his way to the fox's head.
"Alright ready to do this?" Kyuubi nodded, almost making Naruto fall. "Lets go." Kyuubi shot a mini fireball at the Hyuuga. Naruto jumped off Kyuubi's head, allowing him to shrink down. Naruto covered his sword with chakra, giving it a sharper edge. Neji brought up a kunai to block the sword, but a good chunk of it was removed.
Neji had to jump to avoid the jaws of a now four foot tall Kyuubi. He was about to attack when a pair of hands grabbed his feet from the ground. "What?" Naruto charged Neji. His fist surrounded by wind. Naruto landed the blow as the clone underground let go. Neji flew backwards. The wounds on his stomach made it impossible to stand.
"Its over." Kyuubi stood over Neji, mouth close to the Hyuuga's neck.
"Winner: Naruto Uzamaki." The cheers from the people who actually liked Naruto were drowned out by the boos.
"Fucking assholes." Maiku said as Naruto made his way back to the booth.
"Just ignore them." Naruto said as he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, wanting to rest a bit.
"Whose fighting next again? I forgot." Maiku said looking back to the arena.
