Naruto: WHAT? THEY WOTED FOR ME TO FIGHT YOUR GRANDMOTHER?
Darthemius: Yup. Go get ready…
Nauto (paling): But man, I… I can't! She's a monster!
Darthemius: Which is exactly why I'm not doing it myself.
Naruto (In panic): You can't do this to me, man! I…
Darthemius: Wanna go back to Kishimoto?
Naruto: NO! NOT THAT! ANYTHING BUT THAT!
Darthemius: Haha, I just love your reaction every time I said that.
Naruto: Yeah… So, about your grandmother… Can we…?
Darthemius: Relax, will ya? That wasn't a vote.
Naruto (Hopefully): You mean…
Darthemius: You're not going to fight that old bitch.
Naruto: Thank God! So then, who will I be facing?
Darthemius: Nah, no deal. You will have to read with everyone else.
Naruto: Oh, come on! I'm your best friend!
Darthemius: Oh, that's right… (Throwing a cola can at Naruto) Here, enjoy.
Naruto (looking down at the can): Not exactly what I meant.
Darthemius: You don't want it? I can drink it myself…
Naruto: Hell no! Say, where is Trish?
Darthemius: Oh, she's looking for new talents for EHD 2. Next time me and you are going to do the casting.
Naruto: No shit? We'll have to try all the girls?
Darthemius: Yep, we'll have to…
Naruto (Srinning): Now that's work! Also, what's with this crap about you and girls?
Darthemius (Sighing): It's just… Why do I always attract crazy bitches? I mean, can't I get a nice girly girl, who wear pink and likes to cuddle and have stuffed toys…
SMACK.
Naruto: I'm sorry, but Darthemius is out for the night. (Picking Darthemius up) You really should stop smoking this shit, pal…
...
Chapter eight: "What?
"Shin-ne!" – talks.
'Nah.' – thoughts.
...
Forest of death tower…
"Uwaaaaah!" Naruto yawned, getting up from his bed.
It has been two days since he arrived at the tower… and he slept most of the time. Sure, after his encounter with Orochimaru, everything else was just too boring.
"Damn, you must be as lazy as Nara!"
"Wha…?" He turned his head. "Oh, hi Tenten. What a pleasant surprise…" The blonde said without any actual pleasure in his voice.
"Why aren't you doing anything?" The girl asked. "I mean, everyone is thinking strategies, or training…"
Naruto rolled his eyes. "I have no one to council about strategy, and training for some reason doesn't sound like a good idea…"
"Well, you can at least walk around…"
"With all those lunatics shouting how I killed their puppy, or raped their grandmother?" Naruto exclaimed with sarcasm. "Thanks, but no thanks."
Tenten chuckled. "Yeah, I heard that."
"Raped my sister…" Naruto remembered words from before. "I tell you; never in my life did I rape anyone! Hell, most of the time I can simply wink at the girl, and she will be all over me!"
"Oh really?" She asked slyly. "Why don't you try on me then?"
"Hmhmhm…" Now Jin chuckled. "And here I thought you had a crush on that clown from your team. Hyuga… something… don't remember…"
Tenten laughed. "It's Neji. And no, I don't have a crush on him. Had before… but he has this thing stuck up his ass…"
"What thing?"
"A spear."
"Ho-ho!" Naruto exclaimed. "I'll have to commend the one who shoved it there!"
"Nah, you really don't want to thank that guy…" The girl responded.
"Why is that?"
"Because it's Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan."
Jin nodded. "Oh, I see… So fucking what? Why would I care if he's the head of this useless clan, or its ass?"
Tenten giggled. "Well, maybe because unlike his nephew, he has at least five spears shoved up there."
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Do you have some master, who's doing this kind of services?"
"Hahaha, no why?"
"Well, I know at least one more person, who I would like to see with a spear in his ass… or five spears… no, make that twenty five spears." The blond stated darkly.
Tenten's smile faded. "Someone you wish to kill?"
"Got that right." Jin replied.
"You know…" She started. "It's probably not my place to say, but you should drop your revenge cause…"
Naruto's eyes narrowed. "No."
"But it will lead you nowhere." The girl pressed. "Look at Neji! He's so stuck up, because his father was killed for the sake of the village! Ah!" She suddenly gasped when Jin quickly shot up from his bed and pushed her into the wall by her shoulders.
"You're saying like you know something about it!" He shouted. "Is your stuck up teammate trying to do something about it?"
"N-No… Not that I know…"
"Then this is nothing but proof of his weakness!" Naruto stated. "He can do nothing about it, because he's too weak, or too scared, or both! He's a loser and a coward! I will stop at nothing! That man took from me something that can never ever be replaced! And he will pay…" He spat last words in anger.
"J-Jin… You're hurting me…" Tenten squeaked.
The blonde shook his head. "Uhh… Sorry." He released his grip. "It's just a sore subject for me. I shouldn't have snapped at you. I'll understand if you want to leave…"
"It's okay." She said kindly, putting her hand on his shoulder. "I shouldn't have judged you either. I was never in such position before, so what right do I have…?"
"Hmhmhm…" Naruto chuckled. "Let's just forget about it, okay? We'll get nowhere by apologizing the whole day."
"Yeah, you're right." She smiled brightly. "Say, fifth day isn't over yet. How about a quick spar?"
Jin scratched the back of his head. "Well, I only fight to death…"
The girl rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. You fight only to death. But maybe you can make an exception… just this once?"
"Hmm… Very well."
"Great!" She threw her fist in the air. "Let's go to the training area!"
Training area…
"Sure is crowdy here…" Naruto commented walking into enormous room.
Of course, every participant was not able to go back into the forest, so it's either being here, or back in your room…
"Well, I think we'll have some space for ourselves." Tenten replied, walking further. "You're not going to use any wide area ninjutsu… right?"
"Hmhmhm… Tempting…"
"Jin!"
"Fine, fine! Let's go over there." He pointed at free corner.
"Sure."
They faced each other. Naruto took out his katana, and Tenten took out… hers.
"A katana?" The blonde asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You look surprised." She smirked in response.
"Ho-ho! So you want a sword fight then?"
"Yup!" The girl said. "I'm not as good as you, but I sure as hell can use this thing right here!" She made a few swings with her blade.
"Very well. Come then!"
"Ha!" Tenten brought her sword above her head and made a vertical slash…
…Only for Naruto to grab her wrist with his right hand and point the hilt of his sword into her face.
"You are coming too close." He commented. "You are attacking with a sword, not bare hands. Your reach should be long enough for your enemy not to be able to do what I just did. In short words, keep your distance."
Tenten looked at him with her mouth agape. "O-Okay…" She squeezed out of herself and took a step backwards. "Again?"
Naruto nodded.
This time the girl made a diagonal slash…
…Only for Naruto to simply lean his body in the opposite direction, easily escaping the blow.
"Lesson number two." The blond stated. "When you swing your sword like this, try to aim for lower regions, so your enemy would have to block or step backwards."
"S-Sure…"
"Okay, again."
She hesitated for a second… but then grabbed her blade tightly and ran at him, slashing diagonally from below…
…Only to see the tip of Naruto's katana right between her eyes.
"Lesson number three." He said slyly. "Never expect your opponent to simply stand there and wait for your strike."
"Dammit! Stop doing that!" She huffed.
Naruto frowned. "The weapon is useless… as long as it has no master…"
Suddenly…
"Get away from my teammate, Kisaragi."
Jin turned his head. "Ho, well if it isn't great Hyuga…" He turned to Tenten. "Whatever the fuck his name is again?"
"It's Neji!" Hyuga replied in anger. "You should learn it better, for I will be the one to put you in your place. Fate has already decided it!"
"Hahahahaha!" Naruto laughed hard. "Put me in my place? Oh, I don't think so. Because unlike you, useless piece of trash, I have a goal in my life…" He walked closer and directed some of his killing intent at the Hyuga boy. "And if I would've let imbeciles like you to stand in my way, I would've been dead many times already."
"J-Jin…"
"Sorry, Tenten. I don't feel like sparring anymore…" The blonde said, walking away. "And you… I would really like to see you try."
While he walked away, Neji stared at his back in anger.
'We'll see, Jin Kisaragi.' Hyuga genius thought. 'No one can stand against fate! No one!'
Back in Naruto's room…
"Damn, two hours till this damn exam is over…" Naruto muttered, opening the door. "Now what should I… oppa!"
"Ah!" The intruder gasped.
"Hey, I remember you! You're that tanuki moron's sister… Temuri?"
"Temari!" She corrected.
"Oh, sorry…" With that he lunged at the girl and slammed her into a wall by the throat. "Now start talking. What were you doing in my room?"
"Ghp… ghp…"
"What?"
"Ghp… ghp…"
"What?"
She pointed at her throat.
"Oh, sorry again…" Naruto said, releasing his grip on her throat, and letting her fall down on the floor.
"Well?"
"Cough… cough… I was… cough…"
"What?"
"I was…"
"What?"
"I wanted to talk to you, dammit! Cough… cough…"
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Talk with me? About what?"
The girl slowly regained her posture and rose to her feet. "I…" She looked at him and bit her lower lip. "I wanted to ask you not to kill my brother."
"Which one?"
"Both of them."
"Heh." Naruto snorted. "And why would I ever do that?"
Temari frowned. "I… I will do anything you want…"
"Hahaha…" He laughed. "There's nothing you can do to help me."
"Please! There has to be something I could do!"
Jin thought for a moment. "Hmm… Say, you're Gaara's sister, meaning you're Kazekage's daughter, right?"
"Y-Yes…" She nodded.
"Then here's the deal. You will become my spy in Sunagakure. You will inform me of every major occasion there and follow my every order, in turn, I promise to never make you do anything against your village. Agreed?"
"I…" She hesitated. "I… Okay. Just please don't kill my brothers! They're everything I have!"
"Fine, fine. This was the deal after all. Now…" He said, removing his gear. "My first order. Put away your fan."
"What? But I…"
"I gave you an order."
The girl frowned, but did as she was told.
"Now…" Jin removed the rest of his upper gear, and now stood shirtless. "You will help me to… entertain myself for the next couple of hours."
She paled slightly. "Help in which way…?"
Naruto walked closer and pushed her on his bed.
"Take a damn guess!"
Her eyes widened.
"Wait, I… But I have never…!"
"Yes, I can see that. Or else you wouldn't be refusing."
Temari tilted her head to the side. "Why?"
"Because ninjas have very short lives to deny themselves the pleasure."
She paused. "Is it really this good?"
Naruto smirked. "Now we're talking!" He said, spreading her legs open. "Let me show you!"
Her eyes widened again. "W-Wait, not yet… Kyah!"
"Ho-ho! What a nice sound!" Jin stated, massaging the place between her legs with his right hand, and removing her clothes with his left. "Keep doing it."
"A-Ah…!" She moaned as her back arched. "W-What is this feeling?"
Naruto stopped for a second. "You… You never tried… you know… with yourself?"
"N-No…"
"Damn… Well, I just have to correct that!" He said, finally removing her upper gear. "There we go… Ho, no bra!"
"Umm… it gets in the way…"
"Hmhmhm, you don't have to explain yourself to me." Naruto replied. "Now seeing as you are finally naked, I guess it's time for this one…"
"Wait, what are you doing?" Temari asked when he moved his head between her legs and grabbed her hips with his hands.
"I haven't had sex for almost a week now! So I want to get the most out of it!" He said, leaning closer…
"Wha… AH!" The girl screamed as her hips twitched in pleasure. "Ah… A-AH! Wha… what is this?"
"Mmmhhmmm um mhhmhmm…"
"W-What… Ah!"
"Shut up and enjoy." He stated, interrupting for a second.
Well, it's not like she wasn't already. Temari never felt like this before. It was an overwhelming feeling, which quickly overpowered the rest. Her mind was quickly becoming clear as snow. Shortly after…
"Wait, stop!" She exclaimed. "I… I feel something is coming out of me! Ahh! I can't stop iiit!"
"Mhmhmh…" Naruto chuckled, lifting her bottom up. And soon enough.
"Ah… AH! KYAAAAAAAAAA!" Temari screamed as her body twitched violently in ecstasy.
The girl has experienced her first orgasm ever…
"Hah… hah…" She panted. "What… was that…?"
"Hahaha!" Naruto laughed. "That… was just the beginning!" He stated, removing his pants.
"Oh my…" Temari muttered. "Is this… This cannot possibly fit inside of me…"
"No?"
"No…"
One hour and a half later…
"Ah, fuck the shit out of me, YES!" Temari screamed, riding Naruto's dick.
"You stop the damn talking and move your fucking ass!" He commented, thrusting upwards.
"More, god more!" The girl begged, moving her hips back and forth. "You're so deep… shit! I'm cumming again! Don't stop!"
"Cum for me, bitch!" Naruto entered her with his full length, and her back arched once again.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Temari screamed as yet another orgasm hit her. Unable to hold on any longer, she just fell on top of Naruto, totally exhausted.
"Huff… Huff… Damn, That was amazing!" She stated.
Jin shrugged. "Nah, not really…"
"W-What do you mean?" Temari asked in confusion.
"Don't worry; it has nothing to do with you." He reassured. "It's just that no one can compare to that woman in sex field…"
"Really? Who is she?" Temari wondered.
Naruto snorted. "The biggest bitch in the world…" He stated. 'And also one I cannot hope to resist…'
"Well… What now?"
"Hah, what do you think? We have an exam to finish!" Naruto said, getting out of his bed.
Training area…
"First of all…" Yondaime Hokage started. "I congratulate you all on completing this portion of chuunin exam."
Naruto rolled his eyes. 'Why didn't they say he was going to deliver a speech? I could sleep for another half of an hour!'
"Now I will explain to you the real meaning of the chuunin exam." Konoha leader continued.
Jin gritted his teeth. 'Can you not do that?'
"Chuunin exams were made in the time of peace to show off how shinobi of each village will behave in the time of war."
'Blah, blah, blah, blah peace… blah, blah, blah, blah war…' Naruto commented in his head.
"But now…"
PUFF.
"May I continue for you, Hokage-sama?" Suddenly appeared shinobi asked.
Yondaime nodded. "Please do, Hayate."
Said man turned to participants. "Now before we proceed, I must inform all of you that there are too many of you…"
"Say what?" Kiba exclaimed in anger.
"As I said, we don't have enough time to let all of you compete in the finals. First, is there anyone, who wishes to quit?"
Silence.
"Then we are going to have preliminary matches in order to lessen the numbers."
"What, right now?"
"Yes, right now." Hayate stated. "Now the rules are simple. There will be a set of one on one matches. They will continue until one of participants is dead, or unable to continue the fight. However if I say that the match is over, you have to accept that. Now as you probably guessed, killings are allowed, but they are not recommended."
Naruto sighed in relief. 'Well, at least no one will ask any questions if I kill somebody… Accidentally of course…'
Then Hayate waved his hand and a giant display appeared on the wall.
"This display will randomly pick two participants who will fight first…"
Names started to spin, and…
Akado Yoroi vs Uchiha Sasuke.
"Two participants, whose names are displayed, please stay where you are." Hayate commanded. "The rest please clear the area."
'Tch, poor guy…' Naruto thought to himself. 'He'll have to listen a lecture about Uchiha superiority…' He suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. 'Wait a second; I'll have to listen to it too!'
"Oi, Jin!"
Familiar voice brought him out of his trance.
"Ho, Tsubaki! Haven't seen you in a while!" Naruto greeted. "Where have you been?"
"Umm…" The girl blushed. "Father said that he won't allow me to stay with… others."
Jin nodded. "Not unexpected. You're his only daughter after all…"
"Yeah…"
"Well… How do you feel?" He asked when they walked up the stairs.
"Oh, fine." Tsubaki replied. "Father fixed… whatever Orochimaru did to me."
"He didn't say what it was?"
"No."
'Heh, figures…' Naruto thought. 'He doesn't want even for her to know about her jinchuriki status.'
Meanwhile Sasuke and that other guy were about to clash… Not that Naruto really cared, but there were nothing else to watch.
"What is Sasuke doing?" The red head asked, seeing how Uchiha did nothing but dodge Yoroi's attacks.
"Hmm… My guess is that guy… whatever his name is, he can…"
That moment Yoroi get a hold of Sasuke, and Uchiha's eyes widened.
"My chakra…" He exclaimed.
"…Do that." Naruto finished his sentence.
"He's draining his chakra?"
"Yep." Jin turned around and leaned his back on the rail. "But I don't really think he can do anything else."
"Hmm… Who do you think will win?"
"Hah, Uchiha of course! His pride won't allow him to lose." Blonde stated.
Then Sasuke broke out of Yoroi's grip, kicked him into the air and delivered a combination he called…
"Shishi Rendan!"
"Oh?" Naruto exclaimed, glancing over his shoulder. "I wonder who taught him that…"
"That move…" Tsubaki muttered. "That spandex guy used it before."
"Who?"
"That guy." She pointed.
"Ah, that clown?" Naruto recognized. "So he can do something outside of being an eyesore…"
Tsubaki chuckled. "I guess…"
Meanwhile…
"Winner: Uchiha Sasuke!" Hayate exclaimed.
"Who would've doubt?" Naruto commented.
Aburame Shino vs. Abumi Zaku.
"Boooooooring…" Naruto stated.
"Hey, have some patience, will ya?" Tsubaki replied.
"Meh…" The blonde exclaimed with his back turned to the arena. "I've been waiting for three damn days already." He said, leaning on the rail.
"S-Shino-kun…" He heard slight whisper nearby.
"Wha…?" Jin turned his head. Apparently, team eight stood right beside them. "You said something?"
Hyuga Hinata turned to him and her eyes widened.
"K-Kisaragi-kun!" She stuttered.
"Yep, that's me. You want something?"
"N-No… I just…"
"What?"
"No, I…"
"What?"
"I…"
"What? What? What?"
"Stop it, Kisaragi!" Angry Yuhi Kurenai said, glaring at him. "Why don't you bully someone your own size?"
Naruto grinned evilly. 'Now that's interesting!' He thought, pushing himself off the rail. "Someone my own size…? Someone like… you maybe?"
"Hey, get away from Kurenai-sensei!" Kiba exclaimed.
"I can take care of myself very well, thank you, Kiba." The jounin replied. "As for you…" She turned to Jin. "You're way out of your league, boy."
Naruto's grin widened. "Boy, huh…" He said, walking closer. "The name's Jin Kisaragi. Remember it well, because…" The blonde paused. "You know what? Forget it, don't remember it." He leaned closer so only she could hear. "For it will be my great pleasure to make you remember."
Kurenai smirked. "As I said, you're way out of your league, boy. I am the best kunoichi Konoha has provided in forty years, and…"
"And it looks like good old Konoha has a problem." Jin finished for her. "You see, I have fought many shinobi in my life… And I also fought many kunoichi. And if you're the best Konoha has to offer, then it has problems."
"Are you implying that I'm weak, Kisaragi?" She asked angrily.
"Damn right I am." The blond stated.
"Then I've got a surprise for you…"
"Nothing you can do will surprise me." He interrupted. "Can you do something beside your genjutsu?"
"It will be more than enough to defeat someone like you." Kurenai spat.
"Ho-ho! Is that a challenge?"
She looked down at him arrogantly. "I don't have time to waste on the likes of you, mercenary."
Naruto grinned. "Just like I thought." He said and turned around. "Pay close attention when you'll see my match though. That could be you…" And with that he walked away.
"What were you talking with Kurenai-sensei?" Tsubaki asked when he walked closer.
Jin shrugged. "Nothing much, just some Konoha problems." He said, leaning his back on the rail again, facing away from the arena. "Did I miss something?"
"Not much." The red head replied. "Aburame Shino beat that sound boy, and one of ours got screwed by that guy from sand."
Naruto's ears perked at the last sentence. "Sand boy? Which one?"
"The one in black." Tsubaki stated.
"Oh, that clown? Glad I missed it…"
"You're so negative." The girl said with a sly smile on her face. "You need to cheer up a little."
Naruto smirked back. "Sure, I just need something to keep me positive…" He said, leaning closer. "You know what that is?"
"I can guess…" She leaned closer too… but then…
"Step away from Hokage's daughter, Kisaragi."
Tsubaki jumped at this, but Jin only sighed in displeasure.
"Kakashi-sensei!"
"You've been waiting for this exact moment to appear, right?" Jin asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Masked jounin replied. "I must stand beside my team."
"Go ahead, they're right there." He pointed at Sasuke and Sakura, who were standing pretty far from them.
Kakashi glared. "Tsubaki is a member of my team as well."
Naruto sighed. "Damn, just say that her daddy told you to keep your eye on me. I'll understand."
Kakashi said nothing.
"Figures…" The blonde muttered.
Haruno Sakura vs. Yamanaka Ino.
Naruto's eyes widened. "Oh no."
"W-What?" Tsubaki asked with a startled look on her face.
"This is the worst possible pick!" The blonde explained.
"Why?"
"You'll see…" Naruto said, truning around and leaning his back on the rail.
"Begin!" Hayate stated and two girls clashed in a taijutsu combat.
"Hmm… You sure you don't want to look at this?" Tsubaki asked. "They are not so bad to tell the truth."
Naruto shrugged and glanced over his shoulder.
That exact moment Ino managed to deliver hard uppercut to Sakura's stomach. But then…
SLAP.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!" Naruto laughed madly. "Sure, elite kunoichi battle! Hahahahaha!"
Apparently that was heard by everyone, counting Sakura and Ino.
"Fight seriously, Ino." Sakura said, tying her headband to her forehead.
Ino did the same.
Naruto rolled his eyes. 'One more useless thing…'
"I won't lose Sasuke-kun to you!" They both shouted at the same time.
Jin sighed in exasperation. 'That's it! Pink or blonde? I hate blonde less.' He thought, waving his hand. "Hishou…"
"Don't even think about this, Kisaragi." Kakashi warned, holding a kunai to Naruto's throat.
"What, you wanna do it yourself? Be my guest."
"Shut up and stay put."
Naruto bowed mockingly. "Sure, whatever you say, Jounin-sama!"
SMACK.
Both of them turned to the arena. Sakura and Ino remained on the ground unconscious…
"Well, well, what a surprise! I guess you should pick up one of your team members. Shouldn't you, Kakashi?" Jin asked slyly.
The jounin glared. "This isn't over, Kisaragi." He said, disappearing in a puff of smoke.
"Sure it isn't…" Naruto replied, glancing at the sound team. Their jounin-sensei was gone. 'Oh, Orochimaru-chan has left the building. How sad.' He thought and his eyes narrowed. 'I wonder why that moron remained…' The blond observed Kabuto. 'He was always the first to escape. Just like a damn rat. Hmm… Maybe ol' Orochi left him to gather more information about Uchiha… or maybe Tsubaki… or maybe even me."
Tenten vs. Temari.
"Ho?" Naruto actually turned to the arena. "Now this looks promising."
As soon as the fight started, Tenten immediately jumped backwards, creating some distance.
"Oh? Are you waiting for me to make my move?" Temari asked. "Not smart. For the first move I make will be the last move you see. I don't want this match to be over too quickly. So why don't you go first. Come on, girl show me what you got."
Tenten scowled. "Okay, if you insist. Remember, you asked for it!" With that she threw some shurikens at Temari… and missed. "W-What? I missed?"
"Ho-ho! That bitch is good!" Naruto exclaimed.
"What do you mean, she missed." Tsubaki commented.
"Not that one. This one." He said, pointing at Temari.
"I never saw her doing anything." The red head stated.
"Yet she did." Naruto countered. "Watch carefully. Tenten will lose this fight."
"Why is that?"
"Because she has the worst possible opponent for her."
"GO TENTEN!" Clown in spandex cheered. "SHOW HER YOUR POWER OF YOUTH!"
Tenten was about to move into action again, when…
"Don't listen to this moron." She heard familiar voice and looked at the balcony.
"Jin?"
"Word of advice, give this match up."
Her eyes widened. "W-What?"
"You should listen to your handsome friend." Temari said with a smile. "You can't win against me. Give up and spare yourself the embarrassment."
Tenten's look hardened. "So you don't think I can beat her?"
Jin shrugged. "Nope, I don't."
"Tch." Bun haired girl scowled and took out two small scrolls. "Then I'll just have to prove you wrong!"
"Don't say I didn't warn you then…" Naruto muttered.
Meanwhile Tenten placed two scrolls on the ground and started doing handseals.
Naruto grinned at Temari. "Pretty gentle of you to let her do that."
Temari smiled at him brightly. "It's not like it will work anyway."
"Soushouryu!"
Smoke filled the arena, and two scrolls shot up in the air.
"Ho, pretty technique… useless, but still pretty…" Naruto commented.
"Why is it useless?" Tsubaki asked. "Look at the amount of those weapons!"
"The amount doesn't matter in this case." Jin replied.
"Ninpo: Kamaitachi!" Temari waved her large fan, sending huge cutting whirlwind at Tenten.
"See? That's what I was talking about."
"Gah!" Tenten gasped in pain as her back was landed right onto Temari's fan.
"Impressive." Jin stated.
"Why, thank you." Sand girl replied.
"The winner of the fifth match: Temari." Hayate announced.
Kunoichi's smile widened.
"Wait a second!" Spandex guy jumped down just in time to catch Tenten after she was thrown by Temari.
"Hey, nice catch!" She commented.
"What is wrong with you?" He shouted. "She may have lost, but that is no way to treat an opponent who's done her best!"
"Beat it, you moron!" Temari said. "And take that sack of garbage with you."
"No Lee!" Hyuga screamed.
"Konoha Senpu!" Lee span in midair, throwing a hard kick at Temari's head, but…
"Kokujin."
His leg hit some strange energy shield around… Jin Kisaragi's hand.
"What are you doing? You're from our village!"
Naruto ignored that statement and just threw him away with a wave of his hand.
"Thanks, but I can take care of myself." Temari said smiling.
"It's not that." Jin turned to her. "Ladies should not fight clowns."
"Oh?" Her smile widened. "Then who should?"
"No one. Fighting clowns is ridiculous."
"Hmm… I'll remember it."
"Please do…" Naruto replied, walking back to the balcony. "And don't forget to remind your brother… whatever his name is."
"Don't worry, I won't." She said, walking beside him.
"Impressive victory by the way."
"Thanks, that's very sweet of you."
"Heh, don't get used to it."
"Sure… can I stand next to you?" She asked.
"I don't see why not…"
"What is she doing here?" Tsubaki asked in slight anger.
"Oh? Someone's jealos?" Temari asked slyly. "Are the two of you together?"
"W-Well…" Of course Tsubaki wanted to yell YES… but with Kakashi behind her… "I… No, I guess we're not…" She muttered, noticing Jin's amused look.
"Well, that's just great!" Sand girl replied. "Because Jin-kun is actually my type of guy." She said, moving closer to Naruto.
The red head gritted her teeth, but she could do nothing right now. Not only Kakashi, but her father was there as well.
"No time to scowl." Masked jounin said, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Look."
Namikaze Tsubaki vs. Yakushi Kabuto.
Naruto's eyebrows rose. 'Of all possible picks…'
"I… I guess it's my turn now." Tsubaki said, walking to staircase.
"Hey, Tsubaki!"
The girl turned her head.
Naruto smiled warmly at her. "Good luck."
"Y-Yeah. Thank you, Jin." She smiled back. 'Allow me to show you my abilities too!'
"Namikaze Tsubaki vs. Yakushi Kabuto." Hayate announced. "Begin!"
Naruto grinned. 'Too bad I'm not his opponent… Killing him here and now could solve a lot of problems. Well, I guess it can't be helped… Hmm, what if…' His grin widened.
"It's nice to see you again, Kabuto-san." Tsubaki greeted.
"Glad to see you too, Tsubaki-san." Kabuto replied. "Let's have a fair match, okay?" He added, smiling from ear to ear.
"Okay." The girl nodded.
Naruto shook his head. 'How trusting… I have to beat it out of her.'
"You seem unpleased." Temari stated. "You don't like how this freak in glasses is fooling this girl?"
"No. In fact, I really don't like it."
Meanwhile, Tsubaki took out some shurikens and threw them at Kabuto.
"Please, Tsubaki-san…" Kabuto started, sidestepping the attack easily. "You will lose if you're not going to take me seriously."
"Very well." She made few handseals. "Fuuton: Daitoppa!"
"Wow!" This time Kabuto couldn't dodge, the area was too small for that.
"Hmm… B-class wind jutsu." Temari commented. "This girl is not bad…"
"Gah!" Kabuto gasped when his body was slammed against the wall. "That was pretty good." He said, wiping some blood from his mouth. "Now it's my turn to attack."
Naruto's eyes narrowed when he saw Kabuto's palms glow.
'Chakra scalpels!' Naruto thought and glanced at Tsubaki's confused face. 'No, she doesn't know what that is. And if Kabuto used them, then he's going for the victory… But what is his goal? Is it to take out Tsubaki from competition, or to advance in the finals?' He paused. 'No, wait! This is Orochimaru we're talking about. So he probably… Haha, of course, that's it. He simply wants to know the extent of her strength. Well, I think not…'
"Be careful, Tsubaki-san. This is my favorite technique – Chakra Scalpels! Now I can cut every muscle in your body with a simple touch."
"What fool explains his technique to the enemy?" Temari asked.
"The one who's absolutely sure of his victory." Naruto answered. "Come on, look up here, you piece of trash!'
"Thank you for explaining, Kabuto-san. I will be careful." Tsubaki said and sprang into action with two kunais in her hands.
'Is she stupid? He told her so she wouldn't come close… No, wait! You son of a bitch, Kabuto!' Jin thought. 'He struck at her pride by telling that he's really dangerous in close combat! Run, you stupid girl!'
"Ah!" Tsubaki gasped when Kabuto finally managed to land a 'touch' on her hip.
"Sigh… I told you, Tsubaki-san. My close combat skills are pretty advanced. You have no chance to beat me now, give up."
"N-No, I won't back down!"
Kabuto sighed again. "I don't want to hurt you, Tsubaki-san, but I will if you won't surrender."
'Come on, babe! Say something determined!' Naruto pleaded in his head.
"I… I'm not done yet." Tsubaki stated. "I'm sorry I'll have to use this technique against you, Kabuto-san."
'Yyyeeees.' Naruto smirked, changing his voice slightly. "Go, Tsubaki! Don't give up!" He suddenly cheered… covering his face with his hand.
"Do not give her false hope…" Kabuto said and looked at the source of the cheer… big mistake. But he realized it too late.
'Genjutsu: Utakata!'
Kabuto's eyes widened as he suddenly found himself in front of enormous dark sun, which was quickly burning his body to a crisp. Of course he could do only one possible thing…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" He screamed in pain, shocking everyone.
"Wha…? What happened?" He heard Temari ask.
"I don't know." Naruto said innocently… just before…
"Rasengan!" Tsubaki shouted, slamming a spiraling ball of chakra right into Kabuto's chest.
Orochimaru's spy screamed even louder as his body was sent flying once more.
"Gah!" Tsubaki fell on her knees, holding her injured leg again.
"This match is over." Hayate stated. "The winner is: Namikaze Tsubaki. Medics, please check the condition of Yakushi Kabuto."
"Well done, Tsubaki!" The Hokage commented, walking up to his daughter. "I see you have finally mastered Rasengan."
"Yes, father…" Red haired girl replied.
"Hokage-sama." One of the medics called Yondaime. "It's Yakushi Kabuto. He's umm… he's dead…"
"Say what?" Minato shouted.
"N-No…" Tsubaki whispered.
'HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!' Naruto laughed in his head. 'Wonderful! Looks like the pain of Rasengan added to the pain of Utakata was just too much even for this piece of shit. Perfect! Now I don't have to kill him myself!'
"Oh, that killed him?" Temari asked. "Looks like I underestimated this girl."
"Seems that way." Naruto stated and jumped down. "Are you alright, Tsubaki?"
She raised her eyes at him. "Jin, I… I killed him…"
"Don't worry about it." The blonde said. "Killings were allowed after all."
"But…"
Naruto glanced at her father, who was still busy with medics.
"Don't blame yourself, babe. You're a killer, that's what you do."
"Y-Yeah, I guess you're right." She replied. "Can you give me a hand?"
"Sure I can." He said, picking her up bridal style and walking to the medic team.
"Where are you going? Take me back to the balcony!"
"Nope. You have severed muscles in your hip. You need medical care. Don't worry, I'll tell you everything afterwards."
"Mmm… After we have a cup of coffee?"
Naruto grinned. "Yeah, and 'play chess'… five times at least."
"Promise?"
"Sure."
"Get away from my daughter, Kisaragi!" Namikaze Minato screamed.
"Sure, sure." He put her on the stretcher. "Be well, okay?"
"Okay."
"I said back off!"
Jin shook his head. "As you command, Hokage-sama!" He said and disappeared in a puff of smoke… appearing beside Temari again.
"Welcome back."
"Thanks… Say, is your brother down with your standing right here with me?"
Sand girl shrugged. "Well, I just kind of forgot to ask him…"
"Clever."
Inuzuka Kiba vs. Rock Lee.
"YOOOOOOOOOOSH!" Spandex clown exclaimed. "TIME TO SHOW MY FLAMES OF YOUTH!"
"Let's give it all we got, Akamaru!" Kiba stated.
"Arf!" Akamaru barked in response.
"Bah, another fight of two losers…" Naruto said, turning his back to the arena once more.
"I see what you mean." Temari added, doing the same.
"Hey, put that dog away!" Lee said. "I don't want to hurt it!"
"Fool! The only one who is going to hurt is you!" Kiba put his dog down. "Stand down, Akamaru, I will finish it myself!" He added and ran full speed at Lee…
Big mistake.
"Konoha Senpuu!"
SMACK.
Lee's foot connected with Kiba's head, sending the later flying into the wall.
"Gah!" Kiba gasped in pain when his body connected with said wall. "D-Damn… I guess I underestimated this guy…"
"I forgot that I had weights…" Lee exclaimed.
"Is it over?" Naruto asked.
"Looks like it." Temari replied.
Both of them were still facing away from the arena.
"Boring."
"Yeah."
Meanwhile Kiba was being carried away on a stretcher.
"Kiba-kun!" Hinata ran towards him. "Are you alright?"
"Could be better." Inuzuka said, clutching his ribs. "More importantly, Hinata. You are still in the tournament. Remember, if that sand guy or Kisaragi are picked as your opponents, surrender immediately. Same with Neji. He will show you no mercy."
She could only nod in response and watch how her teammate was being carried away.
Dosu Kinuta vs. Sabaku no Gaara.
"Ho, tanuki time!" Naruto exclaimed, turning around.
Gaara teleported to the arena in a swirl of sand.
"I don't want to fight that trash." He said to Hayate. "I want to fight Rattlesnake! Mother wants his blood!"
"It cannot be changed." The proctor stated. "Either fight, or be disqualified."
"Gh…" Gaara clutched the side of his head. "Fine."
"Heard that?" Naruto pointed down. "Your mother wants my blood."
"It's not my mother." Temari replied.
"Huh? I thought you were brother and sister…"
"Stop it. You know who he was referring to."
Jin grinned. "Of course. Doesn't stop me from laughing at it though…"
The girl shook her head. "Only a psycho can laugh at something like this…"
"Which is exactly my case…"
"Sabaku Kyu!"
"Oppa, looks like it's already over."
"Yep."
"Sabaku Sousou!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Dosu's piercing scream erupted through the room.
"Winner: Sabaku no Gaara."
"You're next, Rattlesnake." Sand user stated.
"Sure, get in line." Naruto responded.
"Enough! You are in the way of the next match." Hayate said.
Hyuga Hinata vs. Tsuchi Kin.
Now to Hinata's credit, she was holding up pretty good… what couldn't be said about her opponent. Poor sound girl was literally terrified. One of her teammates was just killed in the most brutal way she has ever seen. The other one was crippled for life not too long ago. Yeah, she got all moral support she needed.
"I… I give up…" Kin said hesitantly. Yes, she has failed, but this way she could at least hope to survive.
"Are you sure?" The proctor asked.
"Y-Yes…"
"Very well. The winner of this match as a result of forfeit: Hyuga Hinata!"
Hinata's eyes widened. 'I… I passed!'
"Now please clear the area."
Nara Shikamaru vs. Akimichi Chouji.
"What a drag…" Nara commented.
"I don't want to fight Shikamaru, I give up." Chouji stated.
Shikamaru sighed. "Troublesome, I was just about to say that…"
SMACK.
"Ouch! What the hell, Ino?"
"You two lazy morons, that's what!"
"The winner of this match as a result of forfeit: Nara Shikamaru!"
"Tch…"
"Now the next and the last match is… Hyuga Neji vs. Jin Kisaragi. Please come down to the arena."
"Kick his ass." Temari said.
"Sure thing."
"SHOW HIM YOUR POWER OF YOUTH, NEJI-KUN!" Lee cheered.
"A word of advice, Kisaragi." Neji started when they stood in front of each other. "Give up. Fate has already decided the result of this fight."
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what is it?"
"You are going to lose."
"Really? Why?"
"Because that is your fate."
"…And?"
"That is all."
"Hahaha!" The blonde laughed. "Really convincing!"
"My eyes see many things…" Neji spoke again, but Naruto interrupted him.
"Your eyes? You mean Byakugan?" He asked mockingly. "Please, don't be ridiculous. Your useless clan will die in the end because of your stupid arrogance."
Neji's eyes burned with hatred. "How dare you! What do you actually know about Hyuga clan or our hatred?" He screamed.
"Actually? I really don't care. Not about you, not about your useless clan, not about your damn hatred."
"You dare mock the Hyuga clan?"
"Hahaha! Clan, clan, clan. You speak almost like…" Naruto stopped and his eyes widened.
"Clan… Family is everything."
"Gah!" He clutched his head in pain. "W-What, Yukianesa… Ah… AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
"Uh-oh. That's not good." Anko said. "You should stop this match, Hokage-sama."
Minato said nothing.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Be quiet, Anko." He said.
"Proctor, I'm going to kill him." Neji stated.
Hayate said nothing as well.
Then Neji ran at Naruto at the top of his speed, preparing to kill him in one blow.
"Juuken!" Hyuga shouted, thrusting his palm forward… And that moment Naruto raised his head and looked into his eyes. No, there was nothing unusual… except they now held coldness of thousand murders.
Neji hesitated for just one second, but this was enough.
"Hirensou." Naruto drew his sword insanely quick, outstretching it backwards. It didn't strike Neji… but both of Hyuga's arms were totally frozen.
Blonde's eyes only narrowed slightly… until he brought his katana forward, cutting both frozen hands off at their elbows.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Neji screamed in pain and fell to his knees, watching helplessly how his hands fell on the ground and broke into small ice pieces.
Naruto however was not done. He brought his blade up once again, attempting to finish off Neji by cutting off his head…
CLANG.
…But another sword got in the way.
"Withdraw your sword, Kisaragi." Hayate said, trying to push Naruto back. "Back off, or you will be disqualified."
Naruto simply continued to press forward.
"Tch. This is your last warning!" Proctor stated.
"Grr…" The blonde growled, sheathing his sword. "Don't ever get in my way again." He said, walking away.
Hayate glared, but still…
"The winner… Jin Kisaragi."
Naruto paid no mind. 'Nii-san! I must find Nii-san!'
"Stop right there!" Rock Lee appeared in front of him. "How could you do this to a fellow Konoha shinobi!" He yelled.
"Get out of my way, trash." Jin replied. "Or else you will share his fate."
Lee took a battle stance… but then he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Gai-sensei?"
"Calm down, Lee." The jounin said. "What has occurred right now is also Neji-kun's fault."
"B-But it's him who cut off Neji's arms!" Lee shouted. "He was going to kill him as well!"
"Yes." Gai nodded. "But if you remember, Neji was the first one, who went for the kill. Kisaragi-kun only countered his move. Besides, they were in a match. You were about to attack a fellow Konoha shinobi without any approval."
"I…" The genin sighed. "You are right, Gai-sensei. I apologize."
"The matches are over." Hayate stated. "Now I ask all winners to come down."
"Tch." Naruto scowled. He really needed to take off some stream.
"Here." Proctor showed them a hat. "Each one of you will take a number from this hat. This number will determine your opponent in the finals of the chuunin exam that will happen in one month."
"What? We're not going to do this now?" Temari asked.
"No. Now you'll have time to prepare." He said and let everyone to take their number. "Tell me your numbers."
"One." Temari said.
"Eight." Gaara hissed.
"Yosh! I've got three!" Lee exclaimed.
"Nine." Shino said simply.
"S-Six." Hinata stuttered.
"Five." Sasuke stated.
"Ten." Kankurou added.
"Mendokuse, four…" Guess who that was…
"Seven." Naruto finished.
"That means Tsubaki-san got two." Hayate said. "Now look at this." He showed them the table. "Here are the matches. First – Sabaku no Temari versus Namikaze Tsubaki."
Suna kunoichi grinned. "Looking forward to it."
"Then Rock Lee against Nara Shikamaru."
"Yosh!"
"Mendokuse…"
"Next will be Uchiha Sasuke versus Hyuga Hinata."
"Hn."
Hinata said nothing.
"Fourth match will be Jin Kisaragi versus Sabaku no Gaara…" Hayate paused at this. 'Oh damn…'
"Hmhmhm…" Gaara chuckled. "Mother will have your blood, Rattlesnake."
Surprisingly, Naruto too said nothing.
And the last match in the first round will be Aburame Shino versus Sabaku no Kankurou.
"Tough luck, pal." Kankurou stated.
Shino remained silent.
"Now you know your opponents. Be at chuunin stadium at noon in this same day next month. Dismissed!"
...
Well, that's it. Now I must say that I officially close this story…
Hahahahaha! Did you really believe that? Come on!
Fuck like hell and sleep well.
Darthemius.
