A/n Hello again friends. Bandie24x7 here, ready to blow your mind with an epic battle between Kiba and Neji :D Hope you all enjoy -Bandie24x7
Neji dodged all of my attacks flawlessly. Hitting me several times with his gentle fist style attacks. I couldn't help but get tired quickly. I couldn't go in for an attack, neither could Akamaru. Losing our chakra would be too risky at a time like this. I had to win. I had to avenge Hinata, this bastard almost killed her. That meant that it was my job to stop him, cause I'm the one that can. The crowd's cheers were extremely loud, almost a deafening roar. Neji began rushing towards me. I pulled out shuriken and threw them towards him. He expertly blocked with a kunai continuing his advance. He got close to me, I clawed at him. He easily dodged it and grabbed me by my neck. He threw me into the air.
"8 trigrams!" He said as I descended. I pulled a smoke bomb from my pouch and dropped it on him, the smoke covered the area and gave me a chance to regain my footing and concentration. I stood emotionless as the smoke cleared. The crowd got extremely quiet.
"You're going to lose. It's your fate," He said looking at me.
I laughed and smiled at him, "Fate? You need to re-think that. If you're such a genius why do you rely so strongly on fate? Are you this powerful because you're meant to be? Are you going to lose because of fate? Are you a complete dumbass because of fate? Did you almost kill Hinata over fate, or because you were angry about that whole main house, branch house deal. You act like it's her fault. She couldn't control it anymore than you could. You need to practice what you say."
He rushed towards me, before realizing that there were paper bombs surrounding him. The crowd gasped as the paper bombs exploded, leaving a massive trail of smoke. Akamaru rushed to the opposite side of the smoke and transformed. Together we threw an armada of shuriken and kunai towards Neji, using our noses to find him. There was a bright blue light in the smoke, the kunai and shuriken started dancing around and flying back towards us. With skillful dodging techniques we moved out of the way. The smoke cleared to reveal Neji perfectly unharmed. The crowd started cheering as the battle seemed to be turning towards Neji's favor. I jumped back standing on the stadium wall. Akamaru done the same on the opposite side.
"Now! This is the last you'll see of me Neji!" I growled as Akamaru and I both started running towards him, then jumped and started spinning towards him, "Fang over fang!"
"Rotation!" Neji screamed as he started spinning, the blue sphere appeared and we clashed. I pushed all the chakra I could into this one attack, Akamaru did the same. Upon realizing that we couldn't break into it, Akamaru and I both flipped over and retreated, landing on all fours. We rushed again, he dodged both of us, and grabbed Akamaru and threw him at me. I caught him, but lost my balance and almost fell. Akamaru stood up as Neji rushed towards me, hitting me several times. I tried dodging all I could, but he was too fast. Too fast for me? That's impossible. I can do this! I thought putting some distance between the two of us. Akamaru again got on his other side. I pulled a soldier pill from my pouch and took it. Akamaru copied the action. I smiled feeling my chakra level rise. I got down on all fours my chakra becoming slightly visible. I rushed towards Neji motioning for Akamaru to wait. I landed a few punches, and even fewer slashes. Neji countered by hitting my chakra points. So far I was down to little over half of my points. I could barely stand even with the soldier pill. Neji grabbed me by my neck again and threw me back into the air.
"It's over! 8 trigrams!" He screamed as I started falling back. I tried to come up with a counter, but my body was moving sluggish. I could see Akamaru prepping an attack. I knew we'd have to wait till halfway through the attack. I nodded as I fell into the attack.
"2 palms. 4 palms. 8 palms. 16 palms!" He was screaming as he hit me and the added number came out to be what he was saying. I could feel my chakra being drained from my body. I just wanted it to end.
"A-a-Akamaru!" I barely muttered. Akamaru came spinning in from behind Neji. Neji stopped his attack to block Akamaru, when he did I slashed at his back. My attack hit, but I was too tired and weak for it to actually hurt him. He smacked Akamaru to the ground and Akamaru transformed back into himself. He was bloody and beaten up. I couldn't stand it. This made two allies that he had hurt. I screamed when he turned around and pushed me to the ground.
"You! I will never forgive you. This arena will be your grave. This I promise you!" I screamed grabbing a handful of soldier pills, and taking each of them, it didn't give me much chakra but enough to fight. I jumped to my feet, and rushed towards Neji. I smashed into him with my shoulder and he flew back towards Akamaru.
"So, all this because I hurt your friends? What if I kill the dog?" He stood and slowly walked towards Akamaru.
"Don't you touch him!" I screamed rushing towards Akamaru. Neji pulled a shuriken and threw it into Akamaru's side. I appeared in front of Neji kicking him into the air. "You bastard!"
I began spinning up towards him. He used the rotation again and stopped me. I fell to the ground gasping for air. He landed next to Akamaru and picked him up. He began to throw him towards me, when Akamaru's body began to swell up. With a pop, his body sent shuriken and kunai flying into Neji. I unzipped my coat a little to show Akamaru had been with me. Neji's blood had splattered onto the ground and he fell to his knees. I walked up to him and grabbed him by the neck.
"And now. This is for Akamaru!" I punched him in the chest. "This is for me!" I punched him again. "And finally. This..." I slammed him into the ground as hard as I could, "Is for Hinata!" The crowd exploded into cheers.
"You say that fate is here, yet you blame others for the pain you've experienced? You are called a genius but I don't know why. You're a bigger fool than I had ever expected. You seemed like you knew what you were doing. To be honest, I'm surprised that Hinata lost to a failure like you!" I screamed, causing the crowd to get even louder.
I walked away from Neji. I could barely stand and the soldier pills effect started to slow down. I felt even weaker. I needed them to announce the winner. Neji started to stand up. I could tell I injured him, that much was assured. I was happy. Even if I lost I had just greatly damaged the genius of the Hidden Leaf. When he got to his feet the crowd grew silent. I fell to my knees. I couldn't move. He slowly started walking up to me. He drew out a kunai.
"You call me a failure, yet you're the one to lose this fight? Don't make me laugh Inuzuka. The Hyuga are the strongest in the village," He said as he brought the kunai slightly closer to my neck. I began breathing heavily before whispering, "You forget, I'm not alone."
Akamaru came spinning from the tree behind us, Neji spun around to block him. I grabbed Neji's arms to avoid his counter-attack. My body was in immense pain, but I couldn't lose. Not to him. Akamaru's attack hit, and I felt the force of the blow pick me up off my feet and send me flying into the air Neji in my arms. I threw Neji to the ground, as Akamaru grabbed me and landed on the ground. He transformed back into his original self, and Neji hit the ground. Dust had risen up from the ground, and just in case I dropped a smoke bomb. The crowd went from deafening loud, to deathly silent. The smoke cleared to reveal me on one knee barely holding consciousness, and Neji laying on the ground unconscious. The crowd started cheering again. This time all I heard was my name, and Akamaru's. I laughed as I collapsed.
A/n That concludes the battle between Neji and Kiba. For the next chapter, I am going to switch narrative styles to a third person. Cause Kiba is going to be in the infirmary. I'll tell a little bit of what's happening to Kiba but because of his unconsciousness it won't be from his perspective. This'll be my first time trying a different narrative style. I hope you guys are enjoying the story. So far I've received some great comments and reviews on it. And people telling me where they want the story to go. Love you all -Bandie24x7
