The Fourth Fight: A Battle of Emotions!
"Who do you think is next, Naruto?", Hinata asks softly. He grins widely & answer boistrously, "I hope I'm next, I can't wait to find out who I have to fight!", Naruto glances up & notices Sakura is looking at him, his smile softens as he adds, "I'm just really glad I didn't have to fight you, Hinata.". She picks her head up & each of them stare into each other's eyes, making everybody around them feel awkward. They begin to inch closer when Tsunade's voice rings out, "It's time for the next exhibition fight! Our combatant will be....", the die begins to roll & for the first time you can notice how the faces disappear & are replaced by copies of those who are left, "Naruto Uzumaki!", Tsunade announces with a slight smile that she tries to hide.
He jumps up out of his seat, nearly dragging Hinata with him, & lands in the pit. "Bring it on, I'll beat down whoever you put in front of me!", Naruto exclaims confidently. Up in the section where the Kages are seated, a old man wearing a cloak with bandages over his right eye walks up behind them. Yagura quickly twirls his staff & points 1 of the blades at him, while Gaara forms a Sand Spear, also pointed at the old man. Tsunade simply scoffs & inquires, "Danzo, what are you doing up here?". Gaara & Yagura lower their weapons, realizing that the 5th Hokage obviously knows who this intruder is. Danzo chuckles & answers, "I came to see the fight, after all, my protege is involved in this.".
At that moment, a raven-haired, pale skinned boy with a backpack walked out. "Who's this douchebag?", Naruto asks the crowd. The boy looks at him, & an almost creepy smile glides slowly across his face. "You must be Naruto...Sasuke & Sakura told me about you. This should be easy, knucklehead.", he states plainly. Naruto glares up at Sakura & then yells at the stranger, "WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! YOU DON'T FUCKING KNOW ME BITCH!". The boy, without a change of tone, responds, "You may call me Sai, & if anybody is a bitch, it is most certainly you. I'm certain it will be better if we end this quickly knucklehead.".
Sai slings a bottle around & throws it onto the ground, black ink running out of it into the dirt. "That's it? Wow, talk about....", Naruto says mockingly before a puddle of ink forms below him.
Ninja Art: Ink Flush Jutsu
Sai forms a hand-sign & black snakes slither out from the ground & bind Naruto's body. Sai smiles down at Naruto with that same creepy, emotionless void of a smile & completes a short set of hand-signs.
Ink Serpant Strangle
Suddenly, the snakes around Naruto began to squeeze him tightly, cutting off his circulation to his extremities & head. Sai looks at Naruto & asks, "How could someone who claims to be a ninja have such a small dick?", he points down at Naruto's crotch, noticing that the snakes have made his clothing very form-fitting. "I can tell that being called 'knucklehead' upsets you Naruto, I'm sorry for that. I'll call you 'Dickless', due to your tiny little dick that is practically non-existent.". Yagura glances over at Tsunade & inquires, "Why don't you stop this? He's obviously outclassed & you're obviously worried about him.", Gaara & Tsunade both reply in unison, "He is Naruto Uzumaki, he isn't through yet.".
As the snakes continue to constrict Naruto, making his body turn red, & slowly become purple, he struggles to put his hands together. "You will not be able to do any hand-signs, I'm sure the Hokage will end this in a moment Dickless.", Sai states monotonously. Naruto growls & struggles, inching his hands closer together. "OH YEAH? CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!", Naruto cries out as his eyes turn red. Tsunade's eyes grow wide in fear that the Nine-Tailed Fox will be unleashed. She glances down at Yamato, Sai's current partner, & signals him to be ready to seal away the chakra of the Demon Fox.
With a roar, the snakes are obliterated & Sai is thrown back by the immense force generated by it. "YOU SAY I'M A KNUCKLEHEAD? THAT I'M DICKLESS!? WE'LL SEE WHO'S GOT A DICK AFTER THIS!!".
SACRED DIAMOND JUTSU!
At first Naruto's body surges with the blood red chakra of the Nine-Tailed Fox, but then as he stands there with his hands firmly pressed together, something happens. A bright blue chakra begins to swirl around him, & the 2 chakras start to waver & push each other away. Hot, blinding light shone from Naruto as the 2 energies fought around him, battling for supremacy. Yamato is about to set up for his Chakra Suppression Jutsu, when he feels something on his shoulder. He quickly turns around & has his arm grabbed by Tsachi. "Don't worry, just watch.".
The 2 chakras push each other violently as they rush around Naruto, until finally the light blue chakra envelopes him. The chakra glows brightly before disappearing into Naruto, who is now clad in a light, liquid blue armor. Most of his head is covered by a helmet, while his body is highly shieled. His arms & legs have chain mail leading from the shoulders to his lower arms, where there are heavily armored gauntlets that extend from his fingertips to a few inches past his wrists.
Sai loses his false smile & whips out a scroll. He quickly draws several large lions & slings the paper outward.
Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll
The lions fly off the paper & turn into realistic, life-sized beasts in front of Naruto. Even though they're growling at him viciously, Naruto can't help but grin. "That's pretty cool, I might actually have respect for you after all Sai!", he smiles back & replies, "Thank you Dickless. Your armor is most impressive.". Naruto growls & yells, "FORGET IT, I'M KICKING YOUR ASS!". He charges Sai, but is unable to move the way he wants due to the armor changing his weight distribution. Naruto slips & starts to roll on the ground, picking up speed as water begins to spray out from him.
Naruto blasts through the lions with ease, & Sai jumps to avoid him. Naruto smacks into the wall, & immediately hears somebody yell, "HEY, DON'T STEAL MY FAMILY'S JUTSU NARUTO! YOU CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DO IT RIGHT!", he looks up to see an intensely angry Choji yelling at him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to Choji, I swear!", he replies back apologetically. Naruto stands up & sees the ink splattered on the ground, how it just sits in the water. He smirks & says, "Is that all ya got? I thought somebody who talked so much shit would do better!". Normally, at this point Sakura would mention that he was almost dead at 1 point, but she keeps shut.
Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
In front of Naruto 5 clones appeared, each with a section of the diamond armor. Sai pulls out the tanto on his back & dashes at the nearest clone, who is only protected on his legs. Naruto quickly dispells the clones, & Sai backflips into the air while drawing a bird.
Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll
The bird materializes & Sai flies into the air. Naruto grins & thinks to himself, "Perfect, just what I wanted!".
Sacred Water Art: White Water Wave!
Naruto's body begins to swell up, & as Choji starts to yell again, his displeasure goes unheard as Naruto explodes, leaving behind nothing but a violent rush of water that cracks the walls of the pit. "Naruto....please don't be dead.", Sakura whispers to herself. As Sai watches from below, he knows he isn't the only 1 who is puzzled by this. He flies down lower to investigate, making sure not to let anything touch the water as it washes side to side, going slower & slower until it is virtually standing still. "This is a trick, but what kind? Maybe it is a prank, after all Sakura said Naruto loves pranks.", he remarks before thinking back to when Sakura was telling him about Naruto.
Before any daydreaming begins however, 6 clones appear on the surface of the water, all clad in armor. "You're right Sai, I do love pranks. I also love beating the hell out of assholes!", Naruto exclaims as he glares at the boy riding a bird.
Sacred Water Art: Whirlpool Washout Jutsu!
All of the clones cup their hands & push toward Sai, the water on the ground now flying at him. Sai quickly flies into the air, trying to avoid the water that is rapidly surrounding him. He barely manages to escape the whirlpool that is roaring below him, & as he looks down, Sai can see 1 small point in the middle & that Naruto is standing in it. What he doesn't know though, is that Naruto is grinning more than ever.
Sacred Water Art: Deluge Meteor Jutsu!
A shadow forms above Sai, & as he turns around to see what made it, the artistic ninja gets blasted off his bird by a giant, swirling ball of water. Sai collides into the whirpool & gets trapped, being thrown around inside like a sweater in a washer. Sai gets flung into a wall, & as the water retreats, he is left in the only puddle still standing. The crowd looks down in amazement at what they just witnessed. Naruto Uzumaki, the Leaf's number 1 hyperactive knucklehead ninja, has just left not only his critics, but his friends as well, completely silent.
He releases the jutsu & grins widely as he sees the jaw-dropped looks of the crowd, of his friends, even the Kages are surprisingly impressed. The Genin known as Naruto Uzumaki has indeed become a splendid ninja.
Ninja Facts: Sai
The ANBU Foundation (AKA Root) member known as Sai, while a tough opponent & great ninja, is socially awkward. It's to the point at times where the things he says are taken way out of context, his somewhat brutal honesty becomes confused for being a prick. Deep down though, he's a good person with a bad past. Maybe someday things will get better for the boy known as Sai.

Notable Quotes
(To Sakura) "I've drawn hundreds, maybe thousands of pictures so far....other pictures have the situation at the time, and the artist's feelings....like portraits have the person's name...but don't pictures usually have titles? To be more precise, even if I try to give them titles, I just can't do it. I don't feel anything...they don't put me in mind of anything."
(To Naruto) "Please stop staring at me, or I'll have to kill you."
There are more, but I think that's enough for now. I hope you enjoy this bit of Ninja Facts!
