The arena was abuzz with excitement as the crowd waited for the next match: Neji Hyuga VS Naruto Uzumaki. The Hyuga made his way to the fighting area and began to wait for Naruto, who no one had seen for three weeks. After 15 minutes of waiting, Neji began to believe his opponent had simply decided not to embarrass himself and forfeited
"Uzumaki's a no-show." Neji said as he turned to leave, only to come face to face with Naruto. The Hyuga jumped back in surprise as the blond said,
"Hello Neji-teme. I believe it's time for me to beat you in a very embarrassing and painful way." Neji looked him over. He looked like Naruto, sounded like Naruto, but he certainly wasn't dressed like Naruto. He was dressed in a green long-sleeved cloak that went down to his ankles, a black t-shirt, black pants and sandals. He was also taller, standing a couple of inches taller than Neji.
"So it seems you've changed a lot in the past three weeks, but it changes nothing. I was fated to win the battle and no matter how many changes you make to yourself you will always be a loser." Naruto was angry that Neji still talked down to him, but he didn't show it. Instead, Naruto smirked and said,
"Keep believing that. It shall make it all the sweeter when I show you just how wrong you are." Genma decided to get the show on the road and said,
"If your done talking, let's get a move on. Fighters ready?" Naruto and Neji got ready as Genma threw his hand down and said,
"Begin!" Neji pulled a kunai and was about to charge, but then he heard a hissing noise come from his hand. He looked down and saw that his kunai was now a snake. He quickly threw it down, and the snake slithered over to Naruto. It went up his body before stopping in his hand.
"I heard that genjutsu was you're worst field." Neji said as he activated his Byakugan.
"Who told you this was a genjutsu?" Naruto chuckled as the snake became a kunai once more. The blond threw the kunai at his opponent, grazing his cheek. Naruto then appeared behind Neji and said,
"Learned that trick from Anko-san." Suddenly, Naruto reached into the back of the Hyuga's pants. He then quickly yanked his underpants hard, causing Neji to yell in pain. The blond then took a hand full of dirt, threw it inside Neji's underwear, and pulled it over his head as he kicked him in the rear end. This earned an uproar of laughter from the crowd, causing Naruto to take a bow as Neji readjusted his underwear. The Hyuga activated his Byakugan and ran toward the unassuming blond, who was still bowing to the crowd, ready to make a Gentle Fist strike. However just before he made contact, Naruto grabbed his hand without even looking. The Hyuga was surprised at the speed the blond possessed, but soon he felt a cold sting on his hand.
"It seems that there's a chance for frost today Neji-teme." Naruto said as he began to freeze Neji's hand solid. Then he quickly crushed the ice, thereby shattering the hand it encased. The Hyuga fell over in shock as the cold stopped the pain for the moment. After the fact his hand was now gone had sunk in, the Hyuga glared and roared,
"YOU DESTROYED MY HAND!" Naruto chuckled and replied,
"What do you mean? It's fine, see for yourself." Neji looked down at the stump on his arm, only to find that it was perfectly fine. Neji looked back up at Naruto, and found that 50 of him had appeared.
"I want to play a game. Let's see how long it takes you to find the real me." All the Naruto's said as they simply stood still, the same mocking smirk on each of their faces. Neji scowled and used his Byakugan to scan the area, but all of the Naruto's were the same as the real. The Hyuga then decided that he'd just destroy each clone until he found the real Naruto. However the more he did this, more and more clones appeared. Soon the entire arena was filled with Naruto's!
"Confusing ain't it?" All of them said at the same time.
"ENOUGH OF THIS RIDICULOUSNESS! I AM FATED TO WIN THIS BATTLE, SO COME OUT AND LET ME DEFEAT YOU!" Neji roared. As soon as Neji said that, he felt his underwear being yanked on again. He turned and saw Naruto putting a squirrel in his underpants. The blond let the waistband go, and the rodent began to claw, scratch, and bite at Neji's behind.
"AAAAH! GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!" The Hyuga yelled as he ran around like a crazy chicken. The crowd was laughing so hard they were almost falling out of their seats, causing Naruto to say to Neji,
"I knew you were a nut for believing in fate!" Thus causing the crowd to laugh even harder. The Hyuga turned to scowl at the blond, but was met with yet another squirrel flying toward his face. The rodent latched onto his face and began clawing it.
"GET IT OFF ME! GET IT OFF!" Neji yelled as he ripped the squirrel from his now scar covered face, just in time to see Naruto's fist collide with his face. His was knocked out before he hit the ground. The crowd could barely breath on account of how hard they were laughing.
"Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week!" Naruto said as he took a bow before exiting the arena
"I don't believe it. How did he win?" One Sakura Haruno said in disbelief. Naruto then appeared next to her and said,
"Let's just say that I've become a living legend." Sakura jumped in surprise, but then glared at him and said,
"Yeah well it doesn't mean that you're better than Sasuke-kun." Naruto simply smirked and replied,
"Wait and see." The blond then noticed Rock Lee hobbling over to him on a crutch.
"Naruto, that was a most youthful battle! When my injuries are healed we must fight!" Naruto laughed and replied,
"Sure thing Lee." Everyone then turned their attention to the next match, Sasuke Uchiha VS Gaara Sabaku. However after half an hour and Sasuke didn't show up, Gaara was declared the winner and was set up against Naruto next. The blond made his way back down to fighting area and stood in front of Gaara, however before Genma could begin the match, Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha appeared in the arena.
"Sorry but you've been disqualified for being late. Naruto Uzumaki will be fighting in your place." Genma said. Sasuke was enraged and said,
"What! Your seriously going to let that dead last idiot fight instead of me?" Genma replied,
"He won his match so he gets to go. Now get out of my arena before I have you forcibly removed." Sasuke growled and was about to protest again but Naruto spoke up and said,
"You heard the man Sasuke, get your ass out of here!" Sasuke and Kakashi looked over at the new Naruto and were visibly shocked at the fact he was no longer wearing his usual orange jumpsuit. Kakashi told Sasuke to follow him and after scowling at Naruto for moment Sasuke followed the Copy Nin. After Sasuke and Kakashi were out of the fighting area, Genma started the match.
"Ready to die Uzumaki?" Gaara said as his sand began to flow from his gourd. Naruto smirked and replied,
"Not today." Gaara then sent forth his sand, as Naruto simply stood still with a mischievous smirk on his face.
PLEASE REVIEW! Also if you're wondering why Naruto didn't use the staff, he kept it hidden. Loki can conceal objects and make them appear from thin air, so Naruto did just that. He'll be keeping the staff a secret for now, but pretty soon he'll make his real powers known.
