Yo!!! Sorry about being gone for so long. Life, School, and Star Ocean: Till the End of Time decided to take a large chunk of my life. But to make matters worse, Finals are coming up, and that means studying. I'll try to update after finals, but I won't make any promises.

Chapter 15: The Final Day: Naruto's Brawl and Blade's Downfall!!

"So, it's time." Raven said, as the boys all arrived. Sasuke was leaning on a tree, smirking. Neji was sitting, meditating. Naruto and Blade were looking excited. "So you know the plan. We take them one on one. We know who we fight." Raven said. Naruto and Sasuke both smirked. Blade and Neji blushed, and looked away.

"I swear to God. Please let this work. The last thing I want to do is be their slaves for a week." Raven said. "Hai!!" They all screamed. "What the hell does that mean?" Raven asked, and the boys sweat dropped. (Right. No Japanese knowledge at all…) They all thought.

(With the Girls)

The girls all appeared, and they were pretty confident. "I think we can pull this off." Mika said. "Still. Naruto and Sasuke are quite capable fighters." Ino said. "And Raven won't bother holding anything back this time around." Sakura said to herself. "Let's go!! We have some headbands to get, and slaves to win!!!" Tenten screamed.

If they had probed into her mind though, they would have seen images that would have convinced Neji to just throw the contest and sabotage the boys.

(The Forest: East Side)

Naruto walked around in the forest, anticipating what was to be the final battle. (She got me with that cheap shot using Ramen, but this time, there's no Ramen to save her.) Naruto thought to himself, as he seated himself on the base of a tree.

"So, I guess you are ready to do this." Naruto said, as he looked into the tree behind him, and saw Mika there, smirking. "Don't think you can win this time, Naruto Uzumaki." She said, and Naruto smirked. "I don't think I can win. I know I can win." Naruto said, thrusting his fist towards Mika.

(Forest: West Side)

Blade knew that he was going into a fight that he had no chance in hell of winning. But if Raven came up with the plan, then it should be all right.

Right?

"Oh man. I knew I shouldn't have done this. That girl's not going to give me a chance." Blade thought to himself, sighing. "Well. Got to at least fight." Blade then pulled out Sky Dragon, anticipating that Ino was near. He was right. She was hiding in a tree behind him.

(Forest: East Side)

Naruto started things off by creating 3 Shadow Clones. Mika merely went into her battle stance, and Naruto smirked. "Okay. I'll make the first move if you really want me to!" Naruto said, and two of the three clones charged. Mika merely pulled out a kunai, and easily dispatched the two clones.

She was about to charge the other one and Naruto, but he beat her to it, charging with the Rasengan. (He compacted chakra into a ball of energy?) Mika thought to herself, as she sidestepped the Rasengan, and kicked the two Narutos.

To her surprise, and confusion, one poofed away and the other turned into a log. "He used Substitution? Damn." Mika turned, to try and see if she could sense Naruto, but the only thing she felt was Naruto kicking her dead in the back, sending her into a tree. Mika rested on her knees with one hand on the tree she hit, as she looked at Naruto, who was smirking victoriously.

"Bet you thought I Substituted. Wrong! I used Transformation Jutsu!" Naruto said, as he created 10 more Shadow Clones. "Hope you got more fight than what you are showing." Naruto said, as 2 clones charged.

(Forest: West Side)

Blade knew that Ino was somewhere around here. He knew it! He's been hanging for about 10 minutes, and nothing was happening. He could feel a constant stream of chakra, but he couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from. (Wait…) Blade then closed his eyes in thought.

Flashback:

"A Genjutsu is not only tricky to learn and use, but they are also tricky to get out of." Raven said, as he was standing across from Blade. It was Day 2 of Blade's special Genjutsu Escape Training Mission, or Operation: Illusion Breaker. "Okay, so I'm going to trap you in one of my weaker Illusion Arts." Raven said, as he made one seal, and then made some weird hand sign with his hands. Blade then felt his surroundings turn into a frozen wasteland.

"Okay. There are three ways to get out of a Genjutsu. One is useless because you need another person for it. So that leaves you two choices. You can try and overpower it using chakra, or you can inflict some kind of wound upon yourself." Raven's voice permeated through the wasteland, and Blade nodded. He then pulled out a kunai, and pricked himself, and the Genjutsu faded. "You got an idea for what to do now, so remember this." Raven said, and Blade nodded.

End.

Blade smirked, and tried to reach for a kunai, but he noticed that his arms felt numb, like he couldn't move. (Can't feel my arms. Got to overpower it with chakra.) Blade then closed his eyes, and imagined he was summoning the chakra to transform Sky Dragon. (Shoot to the sky: Sky Dragon!!!) His chakra flared, and his surroundings warped. When he regained his sense of where he was, he was tied to a tree, with wire. "Damnit. What the hell happened?" Blade asked himself. "You lost." Blade paled, and then groaned. Seems Ino dabbled quite well in Genjutsu.

(East Side)

Naruto was on the ground, eating a whole bunch of dirt. (That girl…she pulled off her shoes, and all of a sudden, she's faster than ever.) Naruto thought to himself. She pulled her shoes off, tossed them, and that killed 2 clones. Then she charged, and that flash of speed was too fast for Naruto to keep up. She decimated his clones, and sent him flying to the ground. "Is that all you got?" Mika asked, as she didn't look winded at all.

(Damn. This is like fighting Lee…) Naruto thought to himself. "I'm not even close to done! I'm going to take you down! Believe it!!!!" Naruto screamed, and thrusted his fist towards Mika. (Now I got to figure out how I can avoid eating my own words…) Naruto thought to himself.

(West Side)

(Damnit. I've been captured in a Genjutsu, and now Ino is going to take my headband. Think…think…think…) Blade was so lost in his thoughts he didn't notice that Ino was staring quite obviously at him.

(I can't move, and I am unable to use any hand signs, so my only choice is to try and use persuasion. But then again, my skills as a speaker are no where near as good as my skill as a fighter. Ng…where's Raven when you need him? I bet-) Blade was forced out of his thoughts when he felt a weight on him. He zoned back to reality, and almost fainted. Ino had decided to place herself on his lap.

(East Side)

Naruto had an idea. It was a shoddy one, and in fact he had some sure reasoning that it wouldn't work, but it was the only idea he had. He made 4 Shadow Clones, and they all bum rushed her. Mika merely chuckled. "Trying to rush me when I'm faster than you?" Mika asked, as she turned, and leveled a clone with a brutal looking kick. She then used her hands to hold herself up, as she spun with her hands and took out the other 4 Narutos. To her surprise, all of them were Shadow Clones. She turned, and ducked as another Naruto tried to clothesline her. She spun, and kicked that one in the back, and turned just in time to see another 3 Naruto falling from the sky.

She back flipped, and kicked two of them, and grabbed the third by the wrist, and slammed him into the ground, causing them all to poof away. She didn't have enough time to rest as another 5 charged from behind. "Damnit!" She said, growling. (He's trying to wear me out. Too bad he didn't anticipate one thing.) Mika hopped back, and began making hand signs. (Shit! She can use Ninjutsu!?) Naruto was hiding in the trees, watching.

"Didn't think she would pull something like that, since she has been using nothing but Taijutsu…" Naruto muttered frustratedly. He then hopped out of his tree, and began to run along the trees. (If I keep my position unknown while dropping Shadow Clones on her, I should be able to get some kind of advantage eventually.) Naruto thought to himself. He hopped into a tree, and was using his dispatched clones to figure Mika's location. Then his eyes widened, and he growled. "Shit! She is on to me!"

(West Side)

"I..I…Ino? Why are you sitting on my lap? You into that kind of stuff? Like to be the dominant one?" Blade was trying his damndest to not be blushing and control himself, but Ino wasn't showing any mercy. "Do you like girls like that?" Ino asked as innocently as she could, and Blade was skipping red to turn crimson. (Shit! The blush of 'You figured me out…') Blade thought to himself, and to his surprise, he felt her slowly get up. "?" Blade's face of confusion said it all, and Ino smirked wickedly. She sat back down, and grinded on him. Since Blade definitely wasn't expecting that, his surprise was overruled by him slamming his head into the tree.

(!?!?!?!?!) Blade couldn't find a single word or thought that could explain that feeling. The best explanation: The best damn feeling in his life!! "&$#" Blade couldn't form a single word, his senses had been overloaded so quickly and unexpectedly. Ino smiled. "I'm guessing you liked that?" Ino asked, smirking. Blade had no kind of comeback for that. She was laying the cards out in a bold ass manner, and he couldn't continue this lost battle. "sigh You win Ino. I'm done resisting." Blade said, closing his eyes and shaking his head. Ino smiled brightly, and the wires were cut. Blade stood, and untied the headband that was on his sheath.

"You win. I give." Blade said, and Ino squealed happily, as she grabbed his headband with one hand, and wrapped her other arm around his arm. Blade merely sighed. (Well, I can't say that it was a total loss…) Blade thought to himself, as he sighed wistfully. (Raven is never going to let me live this down.)

(East Side)

Naruto was running faster than ever. He knew that she knew that he knew she knew where he was. And all that thinking was giving him a head ache. Thinking was obviously not one of Naruto's strong points, but he was good at fighting, and fight he would. "She is nearby. I can sense her. Just where is she?" Naruto asked himself, as he looked a little frantic. "Why search for me when I've found you?" Naruto's blood ran cold, and he turned in time to see Mika's foot hit him dead in the gut. He flew far, and hit a few trees.

He slumped to his back, and groaned. "See, Naruto-kun? You can't beat me." Mika said. "When did I become Naruto-kun?" Mika's eyes widened as the Naruto in front of her smirked, before it poofed into non-existence. Mika felt a strong force of chakra approaching her, and she turned in time for a Rasengan to smash into her gut. "Got you!!! RASENGAN!!!!" Naruto screamed, as the sphere of power ran into her gut, and sent her packing. She hit the tree backwards, and slumped to the tree.

"You want to quit? Not many can continue after taking a Rasengan directly." Naruto said, looking tired. Mika sighed, and smirked, as she untied her headband, and gave it to Naruto, who smiled. "Yes!!! Victory!!" Naruto screamed. "Yeah yeah. You beat me. I'm hungry. Let's get ramen. I'll treat since I lost." Mika said, and Naruto smiled brightly. "That sounds great!!" Naruto said, and they both began their walk.

(Hidden Part of the Forest)

"So, Captain Eagle Eye, what says ye of the home front?" Raven asked, as Neji gave him a weird look with his Byakugan. "Well, Naruto-" "Who?" Raven interrupted him, and Sasuke sweat dropped while Neji had an anger vein on his head.

"Corporal Ramen has beaten the Cloud!" Neji said angrily. "And what of Private Action?" Raven asked. "At the rate he's going, he'll live up to his name…" Neji said, and Sasuke snickered. "Works fast." Sasuke said. "Nah, finally gave in." Raven said.

"So, is it our turn Raven?" Sasuke asked. "Who?" Raven asked. "Come on. Do I have to?" Sasuke asked, and Raven gave him a stern look. "Damnit. What now, Commander Chocolate Thunder!?" Sasuke asked, looking quite disturbed.

(That is officially the gayest thing I have ever heard…) Neji thought to himself sweat dropping, as Raven looked content. "Still amusing when Sasuke says it. "Okay. It's time! Eagle Eye, you go take the Mecha Panda, and Sasuke, you get The Virgin!!" Raven commanded.

"Why is Hinata the Virgin?" Neji asked. "Because Sasuke is known as The Penetrate-Her, and we all know what that me-" Sasuke and Neji both clocked him in the back of his head, which caused him to be laying face first, smoke coming out of his bumps.

Raven stood to his feet, groaning ni pain and rubnig his head. "Okay okay. Enough jokes. Rough Riders, Roll Out!!!" Raven commanded. "Why Rough Riders?" Sasuke asked. "Because once we win, we will be roughly riding our slaves!!" Raven said with a sick sense of perversion.

It took about 4 seconds for the geniuses to decipher what he said, before they left with Raven on the ground in a heap, bumps all along his head. "Fucking pervert." Both stoic nin said with anger veins on their heads.

Sadly, Raven's last statement hit their imaginations hard, and the image of Tenten and Hinata in chains looking quite sexy and seductive was stuck in their heads. "Uchiha. Don't you dare be thinking about my cousin in some perverse way." Neji said.

"If you are saying that, then Tenten must be looking quite-" Sasuke dind't finish, because the glare and fierce killing intent was enough to state that the conversation needed to be turned in a different direction.

"HEY SASUKE!!! YOU FIND THE CONDOMS I LEFT IN YOUR POCKET?" Sasuke picked the pace up when he saw Neji about face, and lay waste to Raven and everything in a 20 meter radius.

ShadowRonin: Yeah. Still tied, but some good came out of it. Now we shift the action over to the stoic duo, who are now running on perverse fumes instilled by their 'leader.' I plan on bringing the Shadow 20 back into the story, but not quite now. But they will appear.

Next Chapter: Sasuke takes his battle to Hinata, and tries to take her headband to bring the boys ahead. Will the angsty emo master of the Sharingan beat the shy, introverted wielder of the Byakugan? (Sasuke: I am not emo.) What ever dude. So yeah, tune in for:

Chapter 16: Sasuke's Last Stand, and His Reunion!!
