All; Sorry for the delay, I was at Deathly Hallows late night premiere.

Also, to the grand dislike for Cliffhangers, they keep your attention

Godzilla Hammer; Well its still in development after all

Hektols; That could be...

Madnessman; Hence my many cliffhangers

Back to the fight

Preliminary Arena; Naruto's POV

"BEAST WAVE PALM!

"PAPER SHURIKAN!" the two attacks collided as Naruto and Konan glared down one anther, their fate as possible Chunnin at stake, at least to Naruto. Naruto was starting to fear winded, and Konan was panting, her body bleeding from the bites from the dogs

"Where do you gain your strength?" Konan asked in the lull. Naruto frowned.

"I gain my strength from my dream of becoming Hokage" Naruto stated "No matter what, I will pursue my dream and gain respect and acknowledgment from everyone, despite my, issue" those who knew what Naruto meant frowned. Konan had a plain face.

"Dreams are not for Shinobi, but only for those in charge" she stated plainly "I am here merely on order of God" Lee gave Guy a confused look.

"So, this Konan girl, is very religious?" Guy shook his head.

"No Lee, the leader of Amegakure is a powerful shinobi, who his refereed to as god. It is said that he has power beyond comprehension, he who defeated Hanzo, he who bested the sannin on his own. It is said he has the power to destroy an entire village in own move" Tenten looked horrified.

"That has to be an exaggeration" Guy looked distant

"Let's hope to never find out"

"Being here for the exams take precedent over my own dreams, now prepare to suffer from your foolish hope!" Konan extended her paper wings and flew into the air.

"PAPER LABYRINTH!" Konan rose her arms high as paper began flying out of her wings, rapidly impaling into the ground, massing into a giant maze of some sort. Naruto looked around in shock as he was smack dabbed into the center of the complex.

"Oh, a wall of paper, so scary...SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Naruto formed a dozen clones...

"CLONE EXPLOSION TECHNIQUE!" the clones all exploded loudly, dark smoke rising from the impact zone. The real Naruto grinned, before his eyes widened.

The walls weren't even scratched.

"That is some mean paper" Choji gulped

"What a troublesome situation" Shikamaru noted.

Naruto looked into the air, gazing around the restricted horizon for any sign of Konan.

"SUMMONING JUTSU!" Naruto smashed the ground as Pakkun appeared in a poof of smoke.

"Hey Naruto" he mumbled.

"Pakkun-san, I need you to find where Konan is" he sniffed the air

"Follow me!" Naruto chased the dog down the labyrinth, down a left, then a right, and then a turn around, going to the point where he could strike down Konan from her sky born position. As he moved along the maze, she frowned from her aerial perch out of his eyesight.

"This boy, he surprised me again. He is supposed to be a moron, but his battle instincts...that and his chakra are making this game all that more difficult" she formed the hand seals for the summoning technique, just without blood, as paper swarmed around her.

"Paper Summoning; Origami Hunter!" down in the maze, Naruto and Pakkun were startled as paper began flaking off the walls, before forming into a giant sphere, that opened up like it had a cheaply animated mouth.

The ball lunged at them as Naruto and Pakkun were chased through the maze like a Pakman game.

"Kid, what is that thing!" Pakkun barked. Naruto frowned

"No idea...but I'm not liking it" Naruto was rapidly forming...

"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" a Naruto shadow clone reappeared behind them as they fled the giant pak man, as it yelled.

"Wind Release; Divine Wind!" the clone spewed a gust from his mouth that formed into a couple tornados that impacted into the giant ball. The giant paper ball was held back, as it began fizzing.

"Hell this is getting old" the clone grumbled as explosive tags in the giant ball exploded, as Pakkun and Naruto got out of the blast zone...

"We gotta get out of here...before she blows this entire place up!" Naruto gasped. Pakkun frowned.

"Kid, I don't think that's the case. I'm getting a bad feeling she's not going to kill you" Naruto gave the little pug a confused look.

"That's a bad thing?"

"She's more likely to capture you, if my gut feeling is to be believed" Naruto gulped. Konan frowned from her sky position.

"That dog is a little too perceptive...Paper Summoning; Minotaur!" she rose her hand into the air as the maze began to flicker once again, bits of paper forming this time in front of Naruto and Pakkun.

Both of them backed away slowly, as a huge mass with large horns on its cow like head, and human like body, stood before them. It snorted from its paper nose and bellowed in a odd moo like sound.

"Wow, it looks like that thing has a beef with us" Naruto joked. Pakkun whined, over the joke, and the giant paper monster, as it slammed its fist into the ground where they were standing.

Naruto and Pakkun jumped out of the attack's path, as the beast charged at them with blood lust.

"Water Release; Violent Water Wave!" Naruto breathed in as a giant wave of water spewed from his mouth, striking into the Paper monster and stopping him from hitting Pakkun. The dog took bite of the Minotaur's hoof like foot, as the monster attempted to shake the dog off.

"RGH!" Pakkun mumbled harshly. Naruto nodded.

"Got it Pakkun-san" Naruto swiped both of his glowing hands.

"DUOS BEAST WAVE PALMS!" Naurto sent both attacks straight into the Paper Minotaur, who stumbled over himself as Pakkun released its foot, which looked like it met a hole puncher.

However, the paper then began to loose its form...

"Paper Tendrils" Konan said coldly, as the former Minotaur extended into ribbons that binded Pakkun, as they formed exploding tags...

"NO, PAKKUN-SAN!" Naruto said in horror, as he flew at the tendrils...

BOOM

A huge explosion emerged from the attack zone, as Konan gritted

Did that fool die trying to save that mutt?

Several people looked, disturbed, particularly Hirizen, Sasuke, Ino and Anko among the seen. Kakasih however, looked giddy

However, Anko seemed to calm down a little.

"He's alive...if I'm alive..." a bright light illuminated from the smoke, as a huge white flash illuminated the battle ground. The fighter Konan and the spectators winced, as the smoke cleared, with several severed paper strands of exploding tag fuse lines, and an alive Naruto and Pakkun.

Ino and Anko breathed in relief

However, Naruto now had something in his hands. A particular something, that was infuriating Kakashi to no end...

Hiruzen just smiled in amusement.

Tenten was drooling "That's the..."

In Naruto's hand was a tanto, with a shattered white blade. But as he held it, the blade was glowing with an aura of chakra, as the blade repaired itself, before glowing brilliantly.

"...White Light Chakra Sabre!"

'THAT'S MINE!' Kakashi fumed. Pakkun grinned.

"So, it appears you are truly worthy of us, if you wield that blade, Naruto-sama" Naruto frowned.

"What's with the formality, Pakkun-san" the pug eyed the blade.

"That blade can only be wielded to its full extent by one with a pure heart and great chakra levels, traditionally used by the summoners of the dog contract. That blade appeared to you, as it did to its last user, Sakumo-Sama, because of your loyalty and pure heartedness, ready to sacrifice yourself if it could save me" Naruto grinned wickedly

"Of course, you really should get lessons first before you do something stupid, like force a heck of a lot of your chakra into it..." Naruto liked that idea, as the blade glowed whiter...

"NO DON'T..."

BOOM

A huge white shockwave burst forth from Naruto, and while it ignored the dog, it proceeded to demolish the Paper Maze...and rip the stone apart...

Coincidentally, Kakashi, who in fury had jumped down into the battle field, disintegrated, which no one really bothered to complain about.

Anko was drooling from the sheer carnage that weapon created...and even Gaara felt the emotion called Envy

"YOUTH!"

Hiruzen shook his head. What was with Naruto and overkill?

Naruto dropped the blade from his hand in shock at what had happened

Pakkun frowned at the devastation..."Or that will happen, though props for taking care of scarecrow" Konan, who had avoided the attack via her paper wings, frowned. The paper flower in her hair was starting to wilt now.

Likewise, Naruto was panting.

"You have proven to be an, interesting foe, Uzumaki-san" she smiled "However, it is now that I end this, Dance of the Shikigami" her right arm morphed into a paper sword, as she flew at Naruto for the final attack.

Naruto gritted, as a shadow clone formed near his own right hand.

"Bring it on, because teleporting wasn't the only new trick I picked up today!" a sphere of blue chakra formed in Naruto's hand.

"RASENGAN!" Naruto surged forward with his clone, before his clone grabbed his left arm and swung him into the air, the clone grabbing the dropped sword.

The two attacks collided with glancing blows, Naruto's right arm recieving a large cut along it, the paper sword falling off like confetti as the two flew in opposite directions.

Konan turned back around, and formed the sword arm again with her other arm, as the clone from before tossed the gleaming white sword back to Naruto, who impacted with his feet into the side of the arena, before propelling himself back at Konan, grabbing the Tanto with his left hand.

"THIS WILL END IT!" Konan cried out.

"Victory will be mine, believe it!" as the two flew closer and closer, Sasuke blinked as he couldn't help but see another fight.

A fight between Naruto, glowing orange with a fox sort of aura with a purple Rasengan, versus someone who he couldn't recognize, with grayish skin, blueish silver hair, and two giant hand like wings, in his hand a black chidori

He blinked the scene away as the two blades collided, and like anything else, exploded.

Sorry, I couldn't resist one more Cliffhanger, but don't worry, the story will pick up anew after this, expect to see Anko, Mei, Haku, Hinata, Ino, Fu and Yugito in fights as this story enters the climax!
