Finally made it to Chapter 5, and here are the Top 2 Reviews from Ch. 4.

Stallion6 of Deviantart-Thanks for the review and for appreciating my Wrestling references. I do intend (small spoiler) to have all of the Jinchuuriki to have a Bijuu Armor at some point. I truly hated how Kishimoto created them but by the point in canon only Naruto, Gaara, and Kirabi have any true character and back story. Utakata had a filler only to have it written off in canon as well as being doomed to die from the beginning. FUCK you Kishi-teme and your creepy lust for the Uchiha, Fuck you in your ear. As for Haku don't worry that name drop from earlier chapters wasn't just there for nothing. As for your finisher request well...just read and you'll see.

ImagineBreaker7-Thanks for the vote of 'Awesome' in the chapter, I hope my fight scene goes over just as well (it is my first one after all). And while you have put good points on Kurenai and Mabui's placement in my Harem, I will say that it's their for the sake that others asked. Though in the end Kurenai will be with Asuma to a point. I'm contemplating on sticking to canon in this regard and then after he dies Naruto helps her pick up the pieces. As for Mabui while it is true she has little to work with, that is why I kinda personally hope she wins one of the spots. After all having not much to build on makes creating a back story and personality all the better. Also while you make good points on her position as A's secretary she is in fact a kunoichi, she is shown using quite a number of jutsu and chakra related stuff while helping Shikaku in the Ninja Alliance's Intelligence Unit. Also I've been given by Kishi-baka all the more reason to have her in...he killed her off! If there's one thing I truly HATE about him, outside his blatant love for the Uchiha's, it's his lack of care in his later characters. He kills off nearly every character that isn't a villain very shortly after he introduces them. While his villains get to live for several more chapters and episodes before getting beaten (note; I said beaten, NOT killed). He also seems to have little to any true way of killing his own villains off, especially if their Uchihas...sick bastard.

With my ranting over I will say thank you one more time to those of you that review and hope to get more soon...

*Cuts to John Cleese: And now for something completely different.*

*Portal opens up and out walks Kamen Rider Arashi and Yurei King, both looking beat to high heaven*

Arashi: *pants* Sheesh, that guy just did NOT wanna die did he!?

Yurei: *Growls* And just think, that was just the first one I have to deal with.

Arashi: So who's next?

Yurei: Pariah Dark, bastard's trying to take over my territory and some idiot let him go again.

Arashi: Okay then...*looks up*. Oh right chapter 5 came our today! Hey everyone!

Yurei: Oh great, them again. Alright, Kamen Rider doesn't own the series he has used to create this story, if he did why would he write a fanfiction of it? Anyway, I've gotta fix up my scythe so enjoy.

Arashi: Oh don't be harsh, there's a good chance some of MY followers might also be YOURS! And yeah you might wanna fix that up...a-hole did almost break it with Frostmourne...until I yoiked it off his person. *holds up Frostmourne*. This look good over my fireplace.

Yurei: You can keep the sword but first *places hand on the flat of the blade and draws out all the souls kept within* I needed to take those. Okay it's all yours now.

Arashi: Thanks, it was getting a bit annoying to shutting all those voices out, especially Arthas'...little b*tch. Go see Muramasa, the Ninja Gaiden one, he should be able to fix up your scythe. By the way wanna mention my new fic here or afterwards after the chapter?

Yurei: Worry about it after the chapter, they've waited long enough. Thanks for the tip *opens portal and steps through* I'll be back for the AN at the end.

Arashi: Good point, alright read the bottom AN for details on my next Fic. With that in mind though enjoy this one!

The Bijuu Armors

Chapter 5: Kitsune's Trump Falcons

Everyone from the contestants, audience, and Kages themselves looked on at the newest addition to this fight. While all had their own varied opinions on the gauntlet wielded by Naruto none where more surprised then Kirabi, Gaara, and Yugito. To be more specific their tenants surprise!

'...WILL YOU STOP THAT ANNOYING RAPPING AND LISTEN TO ME B!'was the very loud voice of one Hachibi named Gyuki. 'What's wrong Eight-O, your yellings giving me quite a bit of pain-o?' was the reply from his Jinchuuriki. '*sigh* What's wrong, well not so much wrong, but important is that the blonde down there is one of us!'he said.

'So blonde down there is a container like Yugi-chan and me. Why didn't you bring this up to me before Hachibi?' said a confused Kirabi. 'I didn't mention it cause I couldn't feel his Bijuu's power till now. Not to mention the name for that gauntlet of his, Kurama, is in fact my brother's name. Namely the Kyuubi's name.' said the Hachibi.

At this news Kirabi was a little shocked and surprised, thankfully years of ninja training kept B(1) from outwardly expressing this. 'If that's the case is summoning armor his little trick, like ink is ours?' questioned Bi. 'No, but I'm certain whatever it is can be based similar to the chakra cloak you and Yugito use when using mine and my sister's powers. I'm actually curious to what it is exactly, I feel very minor bits of my brother's power in the summoning and running through the gauntlet but not as much one usually uses when using our power.' stated Gyuki.

Hereing this Kirabi made a mental note to meet his fellow Jinchuuriki later, possible after his match.

-In the Fighter's Stand-

While Gyuki was getting through to Kirabi, both Shukaku and Matatabi where having more and less trouble with their respective containers. In the more case it be Gaara, Shukaku feeling a little bit paranoid and anxious seeing signs of his oldest sibling nearby. However in Gaara's opinion that just makes him want to fight Naruto even more, something Shukaku was less than enthusiast about.

As for our favorite neko pair(2) Matatabi was having a more different conversation with her container as opposed her brother's. 'For the last TIME Nibi, I'm NOT going to corner him after his match and SEDUCE HIM!' shouted, in her mind that is, a very irate Yugito. 'Oh Kitten come now, there's no reason to not try to get to know that very interesting young man down there. And if he finds you interesting too, seducing doesn't seem like such a bad idea later on does it?' was the words of a very insistent Nibi.

Deciding arguing wasn't going to stop her from making more comments Yugito just went back to watching the rest of the match. Although she agreed on one thing with Nibi, 'He was indeed hiding more under that stupid jumpsuit, I'm just surprised he was hiding so much.' where her less than clean thoughts.

-Back with our Combatants-

If one was to describe Hyuuga Neji one would call him such things as: intelligent, a prodigy, the Pride of the Hyuuga Clan, and other such accolades...and those would be from both his clan and those that like to kiss one's ass. If you where to ask that same question to those that meet him on a day-to-day basis with a more neutral standpoint you'd get such things as: arrogant, self-absorbed, friendless, and an all around jerk. Let it also be known that Neji has never been one to believe that he could be defeated by one he thought was beneath him.

And yet for the first time Neji was uncontrollably facing those types of thoughts at this very moment. Namely if he could actually defeat one Uzumaki Naruto at this point. Why would such thoughts be in the head of one so set in his ways of pre-determined fate and such, well it could be that Naruto is unpredictable, it could be that he isn't the type to stay down for long, or it just might be the undeniable fact that our former orange wearing hero just took his best trump card and finishing move and is still standing.

Yes ladies and gentleman one Uzumaki Naruto just took the Hyuuga's famed 64 Palms technique and was not only able to return to his feet but also reopen all of his formerly closed chakra points. It can be understandable at this point as to why Neji would be stunned silent from such an action.

Using Neji's current state of being stunned, Naruto decided to do a quick rundown on his finished creation. 'Hm, everything seems to be fine, no tightness to speak of anywhere under the armor. Nor do I feel any pain from the flames or your chakra Kurama' thought Naruto. 'Yes it would seem our hopes and faith wasn't misplaced in either Jiraiya or Dustin. Both have helped to create this, personally speaking, incredible piece of art' replied the Kyuubi.

'Art? Didn't take you for someone to call a piece of metal or a weapon art?' Naruto thought. 'Just because I enjoy a good deal of destruction and such. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate something that has that sense of carnage or power to it. Especially something that I had a hand in creating.' said Kurama in a bit of a boastful tone.

'Right, well anyway everything seems 100% here and it seems like Neji is coming back to the world of the living. So as we promised keep all comments and such to yourself till the battle is done, okay?' asked Naruto. 'Right, right just don't lose.' replied Kurama. Seeing Naruto return focus onto Neji, Kyuubi thought back on Naruto's little request before the match started.

-Flashback, before Naruto's Entrance-

'Listen Kurama when the battle starts I want you to promise me under no circumstances to give me advice or comments at all during my match with Neji, okay?' asked Naruto. A little confused by his request the Kyuubi asked back, 'And why should I not help you? Seeing as you're a ninjas it's kinda expected of you to want to use every advantage you have to beat your enemies?'

'Regardless of my ninja status I wanna try doing this by myself. I wanna prove I can beat him without having to be given an advantage like his bloodline gives him. I already get enough help from you and my family via the unique healing factor and your chakra. It's the major reason I wanted this armor made, so I didn't need to rely to much on your power all the time. The bit user for the gauntlet is enough.' replied the blonde Uzumaki. Hearing him out Kurama relented, 'Okay, I can understand where your going with this so I'll let it slide. However don't think I won't help you when dealing with either Gaara or Yugito. Especially since I can tell they are far more comfortable with using their respective Bijuu's chakra then you are.'

Internally nodding his head at this Naruto said one last thing before setting off his entrance pyro and music, 'I wouldn't have it any other way. Besides part of the reason we created this armor was to partially counter my fellow Jinchuuriki incase they are less than friendly.'

Agreeing with that Kurama kept any words left to himself when he heard, through Naruto, the referee start Naruto's final countdown.

-Flashback End-

Finally regaining control of himself Neji all but screamed, "How...HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!" Deciding to mess with the so-called Hyuuga Prodigy, Naruto replied with a cheeky grin "Do what?" Knowing Naruto was being blatantly oblivious, but not having the mind to keep calm at this point he shouted out again, "How did you reopen your chakra paths?!"

Smirking Naruto only gave Neji this as an answer, "It's a...SECRET." Seeing this got the intended reaction from Neji Naruto stood there still and decided to say one last thing to throw Neji over the edge...again, "Obviously your Hyuuga Pride never believed it to be possible huh, guess your Clan ain't all it's cracked up to be after all."

Once again hearing both his Clan and more importantly (at least in his own mind) himself being mocked for the umpteenth time Neji lost whatever calm or control he had on his anger and charged Naruto again, intent on not just defeating him but destroying him.

Of course Neji unfortunately forgot the phrase 'No plan survives first contact with the enemy', and with his only true 'plan' being destroy Naruto, which isn't much of a plan to begin with he was about to learn this the hard way.

Neji's attack ended up allowing him to be the first to taste Naruto's new power, via fist to the stomach. In Neji's raged induced state he aimed straight for Naruto's heart, sadly for him Naruto saw this quite easily (Neji not really bothering to hide his intentions at all). Seeing his attack coming Naruto swiftly dodged to the opposing side of Neji's attack, and using the opening given to him, Naruto took his shot. Using the tried and true basics of a right hand straight into his opponent's stomach and abdominal region.

As stated Neji felt this new power quite painfully and felt the wind knocked out of him as well as possible damage to his ribs. Backing up a few steps while trying, and slightly failing, at regaining his breath Naruto took the chance to turn things fully in his favor. Charging Neji down Naruto began his offense with several punches aiming at Neji's already bruised chestal region, Neji himself putting up as much of a defense he can muster while still feeling the effects from Naruto's first blow.

-Audience Seats-

As of this moment in time all those watching from Konoha could only watch in amazement and shock at seeing the supposed deadlast and dobe of the most recent graduation class from the Konoha Ninja Academy fighting on equal if not better terms than the Hyuuga Prodigy and last years Rookie of the Year.

The Hyuuga where silent seeing not only Neji being bested but their 64 Palms technique being shown ineffective to Naruto's newest power. The clan head himself, Hiashi, could only look on with shock at this development, 'Not only has a Branch Member learned and nearly mastered a signature Jutsu of the Main Branch, but Uzumaki has recovered and neutralized it with little effort.' These were the thoughts of one Hyuuga Hiashi as he watched this battle continue.

Right next to him was the clan head's youngest daughter, Hyuuga Hanabi, who was as well shocked at seeing one of the techniques she herself was shown and told about from her tou-san. She also recognized Naruto for being the boy her sister pined over. And while she herself was still quite young she was starting to see what Hinata saw in him, although one could view this more as a childish crush and nothing else, it does seem like something one should investigate on at a later point(3).

Elsewhere we see the rest of the Rookie 9 and the Arai's look on as the battle continues, while his former classmates looked on with looks of disbelief and surprise the Arai's look on with amazement, and in Tenten's case starry-eyed, expressions at Naruto's gauntlet.

Dustin himself finally realized what Naruto had planned from the beginning voiced his thoughts, "So that's it. That's why he wanted the chakra conductive metal." Turning to her tou-san Tenten spoke up, "What do you mean tou-san, do you know what Naruto did, cause last I recall the gauntlet he made at the forge looked nothing like that." Hearing her words most that knew Naruto, in some fashion, were surprised to know he built it all on his own.

Noticing his musumi put him on the stop he decided to continue for everyone else's sake, "Alongside training in the forge and in taijutsu he also study Fuijutsu under Jiraiya-sama." Those that knew the Sannin stared wide-eyed at that, knowing that somehow the Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki and the titled Deadlast got trained by him. "In between forging segments of his gauntlet he would stop after the cooling process to apply multiple seals to it. He would do this for every segment after each's cool down. Now seeing his finished product for my own eyes I see exactly what they were for: to make an armor that adapts and changes to not only fit the wielder, but evolve with his chakra running through it. He basically made a gauntlet that only he can use and wield."(4)

Staring even more shocked than before at what Naruto constructed those that originally believed it only to be some fancy piece of armor Naruto bought, where now starting to wonder what else it could do.

-Back to the Battle-

While all this was going on Naruto and Neji were still in the thick of it. Having regained some of his strength back Neji continued his assault on Naruto, only to fall short in that regard. As it seemed that not only did Kurama give him increased strength but also increased speed. As it stands both were in a bit of a standoff, both throwing blow, Neji with his Juken Strikes and Naruto with his fists, and neither really landing any blows.(5)

So far from what most could see was Naruto getting at best glancing blows, while Neji kept hitting Kurama only, Naruto being clever enough to bring it up as a makeshift shield to block Neji's Juken attacks. After what felt like an hour, but was really only a few minutes at best, both jumped backwards to bring some space between them.

Realizing he wasn't getting anywhere Naruto decided to use one of the few Jutsus Jiraiya taught him during the 6 weeks they trained. Knowing Neji could most likely dodge a long-range jutsu easily from this distance Naruto went for a two-pronged attack. Flipping through the necessary hand seals Naruto called out his first attack, "Yomi Numa!" With a quick slam of his hands to the ground a small, but very thick, swamp surrounded Neji's feet. He was soon stuck in place with it coming up past his ankles.

Jiraiya taught him this jutsu to use for capturing and trapping, however he was far from mastering or even perfecting it so this was the best he could do in such a quick sequence. However that was what the second jutsu was for, with a couple more hand seals Naruto called for his second attack, "Katon: Endan!" At the call of the jutsu a long stream of white-hot fire flew at Neji. Most seeing this where admittedly shocked to see Naruto using an actually Elemental Jutsu.

In Neji's case he was admittedly surprised as well, not believing a clanless nobody could use a jutsu like this so effectively. But realizing his current situation Neji focused more on survival instead. 'Dammit, there's only one jutus that can get me out of this in time.' Knowing he can't save his ultimate attack for later he quickly starts pumping chakra from all his tenketsu and starts trying to spin through the heavy swamp(6).

After only of second of trying he breaks free whilst calling his attack, "Hakkeshō Kaiten!" The titled rotation worked in Neji's favor providing a powerful and effective defense from Naruto's flames. After his jutsu dispersed the flames Neji managed to remove all of the swamp mud from his feet and jumped free.

All those from the Hyuuga Clan, the Kages, audience, and Naruto himself looked onwards with surprise at seeing Neji do what many recognized as a Main Branch Jutsu, for the second time.

Realizing really quickly of how to get at Neji's beliefs again Naruto quickly shouted to him, "Well for someone declaring all this crap about fate, you sure are doing everything to sound more like a hypocrite then anything else!"

Hearing the words of his adversary and once again being angered by them he shouted in kind, "What do you know about fate! It's an all encompassing force that controls and manipulates ALL! And you have the gall to say you can see it better than I!"

Seeing Neji fall for his trap Naruto decided to finally put the proverbial nail in Neji's coffin, "I dare because you've already proven that fate doesn't exist. If it was true then how in Kami's name would you a Branch Member be able to use not only the 64 Palms but the Main Branch's Kaiten as well. Not only that but if fate was real, then how did I just beat your 64 Palms and already quite nearly beat you now. I'll tell you why, cause fate is nothing but a load of bullcrap and stuff that weaklings and people who need excuses for everything use to try to make themselves feel better. When all they really need is a nice wakeup call. And guess what Neji, it's time for me to wake you up!"

With a shout of, "Kage Bushin no Jutsu" Neji soon found himself facing a dozen Naruto's, oddly enough none were wearing Kurama on their arms, this made it quite easy for Neji to find the real one. However before he could use this to gain any kind of advantage Naruto had all twelve clones charge Neji down after surrounding him.

What came next was pretty expected of both, namely all of the Naruto's making a dive at him only for Neji to use his Kaiten again to destroy them all. Neji quickly called out to Naruto, "See the Kaiten is the Ultimate defense, no matter what you throw at me you'll never be able to break it or beat me" where Neji's words while having that 'I'm superior then you' smirk on his face.

However surprisingly enough Naruto just stood there and took Neji's words...with a very devious look on his face. Getting into a charging stance Naruto declared out loud his next intentions, "You think you're so called Ultimate defense is indeed just that, ultimate? Well guess what that little barrage of clones was just a test...a test that proved effective cause now I know I can break it. And I'll show you how, right NOW!"

Before Neji could counter his statement Naruto began a fast charge towards Neji. Seeing him approach Neji quickly entered into the Kaiten's beginning stance, watching and waiting for Naruto to enter his range.

However about half-way towards Neji Naruto started to yell. No yell isn't the right word more like roared would be a better description for the noise. A loud battle roar!

-Play G Gundam's Burning Finger Theme, and yes the move is based on it-

As Naruto closed in on Neji all soon noticed the bright red glow coming from his gauntlet. As he got closer he, Neji, could soon see that it wasn't a light so much as the gauntlet heating up. In fact just before he began the Kaiten Neji could actually feel the incredible heat coming off the piece of armor.

Neji seeing Naruto in range called out another, "KAITEN!" this time pumping far more chakra then the last two into it.

Seeing Neji begin his move Naruto jumped into the air while bringing his fist down at the very top of Neji's Kaiten. At the apex of his jump Naruto called out, "Here's your wake up call Neji, NENSHOU NO KEN!"(5)

At the call of his jutsu Naruto's gauntleted fist crashed on top of Neji's Kaiten. There was a brief power struggle before things changed. Neji's Kaiten soon gained the better part of the struggle, being provided by it him being grounded. When it looked for a second like Neji was about to fling Naruto off and away, Naruto could be heard yelling out, "KITSUNE HEKI!"(Fox Burst).

With that shout there was a bright red flash followed by an intense explosion right afterwards.

-Music can be stopped at this point-

A big dust cloud covered over where both ninja where at their brief, but explosive, clash. Not a second later two different figures are launched out of the cloud. One went straight into the arena wall, while the other hit the ground while leaving a small trench for about 3 meters before stopping.

Neither figure could be seen from the dust and smoke covering them for the longest of moments. However soon the one on the ground could be seen slowly, but surely, rising to his feet. Finally after getting up to his feet in it could be shown Neji standing. While his clothes where still on they've seen better days and while Neji himself was showing signs of a damaged arm and chest he was still the one standing.

A second later the smoke and dust cleared away to show Naruto's body imprinted into the arena wall. Like Neji his clothes shown in bad shape, he himself being in even worse shape. Genma slowly approached Naruto to check him. Reaching Naruto he checked his pulse to find it going, but could see he was unconscious.

Seeing him out Genma went to make the call, "Seeing as Uzumaki Naruto is out, the Winner of the first Match is Hyuuga Ne..." *Pop!* Genma was abruptly cut off by the small popping noise, he turned to notice the Naruto in the arena wall was in fact a clone.

Neji seeing him gone quickly turned his Byakugan back on only to notice just to late where Naruto had gone. In another resounding *pop* Naruto appeared right in front of him. Not giving Neji a second to recover Naruto quickly punched Neji in the gut with all his might and seeing him gasp for breath decided to signal the end.

Raising his right thumb up from his fist he quickly gave the sign for execution over his throat while sticking his tongue outside of his mouth(6). His moment done he quickly grabs Neji and raises him unto his shoulder with Neji's legs going over his back.

With a speedy spin he pulls Neji's body down towards the ground and places his head between his thighs. And with a quick jump forwards drops Neji head first into the ground with Naruto's knees holding his skull in place during the move, leading to all three parts making contact on the ground at the same time.

Letting Neji's legs go then join the rest of his sore, busted, and bruised body on the ground. Flipping Neji over so he was facing him, the move causing Neji to land with his face into the ground, Naruto stood over him with a kunai to the throat.

Seeing that Neji was in no position to move or retaliate Genma finally called the match, "With Hyuuga Neji being unable to move, Uzumaki Naruto is the Winner of Match 1!"

There was a brief silence with his declaration, until one could hear clapping up in the stands. Naruto quickly turned to see his Oji-san being the first to start, following after him was A, Kirabi, the Arai's, and the girl's that found his new look...interesting. Almost immediately following that the whole audience started to clap for the match. For a second Naruto thought he heard a scream of the crazy proctor lady saying something like, "The Gaki's made me RICH! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Deciding to leave it be for now, he removed his kunai from Neji's throat. Looking down at him he saw Neji's expression and guessed what he was thinking, "I henged into a rock after the explosion kicked so many up. I had my clone that I made after hitting the wall throw me after you. I knew your Byakugan would be off after our clash so I used that opening to sneak under your guard."

Seeing no way to refute him at this point he could only say, "I guess you where right...*cough*...maybe there is no fate after all...*cough*." Seeing the medics come to collect Neji, Naruto gave him some parting words to think on, "Even a caged bird can break free once he's wise enough to break the lock with his beak."

Seeing his words heard he quickly got up and headed for the ramp to enter the contestants box. Before exiting the arena floor Naruto raised his gauntlet covered right fist into the air, followed by the sounds of a thunderstorm playing over the PA system. With his little bit of fun over he headed off the arena floor.

After going up a few steps and taking a quick look around, seeing no one around Naruto grabbed his stomach and right arm while spitting up a bit of blood. The pain being a bit too much to bare Naruto sat on the ground resting against the wall.

Focusing with what energy he had he activated the seal on his hand and resealed Kurama. Looking at his right arm he saw burns all over it, most of which were just now starting to heal. His thoughts were quickly broken by Kyuubi's presence, 'I guess there are still some kinks to work out huh.'

'Yeah, my damn arm feels like I just put it into the forge's fire. I'm also feeling a little light-headed' thought Naruto. The pain was at this point becoming so intolerable and distracting he didn't even realize someone had come up to him till they put a hand on his head.

Feeling the hand and the immense relief right after contact, Naruto turned to see his healer. Sadly the pain temporarily blurred his vision but the voice he soon heard lead him to know exactly who it was that was helping him, "You always were one to go the extra mile to help someone, I just wish it didn't require you to cause yourself so much pain Naruto-kun."

Smiling at their concern Naruto's sight finally returned and he voiced his thanks, "Well with a beautiful nurse like you to always be there to patch me up, I kinda think it's worth it. Don't yea think Haku-chan." Seeing her pretty brown eyes looking into his bright blues he could only smile and blush as she continued to heal him working on his burned arm now. As she worked Naruto took the time to see Haku's new outfit she got since coming to Konoha with his team.

Gone was her gender hiding battle kimono and in its place was a long-sleeved deep blue sweater, one that was both comfy but very noticeable form-fitting. In place of the pants she wore before was a light blue skirt, one she got in fact at Dustin's shop to allow her to be easily mobile during battles. Besides her new Konoha headband on her head and the standard ninja tool sheaths at her waist she wore regular kunoichi style sandals. Although her's were a strong wooden pair with a jet black paint job to them. Her final touch was she kept her hair down instead of in the ponytail she had when they fought on the bridge, something Naruto admitted he liked more so than the ponytail.

As he was admiring her new look Haku herself was just about finished with the major injuries Naruto suffered from his battle with the Hyuuga. Seeing her work done she got back to her feet and assisted Naruto to his own. Before she could return to the medic bay she noticed Naruto limping a bit, and using her position given to her from the Hokage, took Naruto's arm in her's and help him walk back to the contestants box.

Noticing her aid Naruto spoke up while trying and failing to hide his blush, "I'm quite fine Haku-chan, I can get back up to the box on my own." All Haku did was smile and put on her best medic-nin voice and said, "Now Naruto-kun, while that maybe so, I'm still a trained medic and partially in charge of taking care of you when not required for other duties. With that in mind right now you require that aid. So just relax and allow me to do my job and help you rest before your next battle."

Seeing the look in her eyes and knowing he won't be able to talk her out of this just let her lead him back up top to watch the next matches.

-Fighter's Box-

There was a brief intermission till the next match, mostly on account the Naruto's gauntlet and Neji's Kaiten ripped up the field something fierce. As they waited for the next battle to be called those that watched the last match had their own thoughts on how it went...lets have a peek into those heads of theirs shall we.

Kankuro-'Okay if I wasn't sure before I'm sure now I'm definitely withdrawing from my match. No way I'm gonna take a chance fighting against that blonde gaki's gauntlet. He'll most likely destroy Karasu with one blow'

Temari-'Wow, who would have thought that short, orange wearing, loud mouth could not only beat the Hyuuga. But also do so and make it look easy. And it wasn't bad seeing a little of those nice muscles he has either.'

Gaara-'...Regardless of kaa-san's wishes, Uzumaki will be a far better opponent to test my existence against then the Uchiha.'

Shino-'...Hmmm this new tool of his worries my hive, but even more so because of the chakra scaring them and not the fire...this is a bit troubling.'

Kin-'Huh, he wasn't lying when he said he'd make the Hyuuga pay. He definitely kept his word, I just hope he keeps his word to me. Although *blushes* the second choice I was given doesn't sound as bad as it did before.'(8)

Yugito-'Nice job Uzumaki, I can't wait till it's my turn to fight you. Maybe I can get you to agree with a little bet over it. I sure know what I want if I win...' 'Oh kitten I'm so proud of you!' 'Shut up Nibi!'

As the last of their thoughts on Naruto's win were finished we turn now to Naruto himself entering the fighter's box with Haku still providing aid till he can walk safely on his own. Something that caused some measure of annoyance to the participating kunoichi present, especially when all three were starting to show their own signs of interest in our favorite blonde. Being held very closely to said unknown female didn't do their growing anger any better, especially with all the noticeable touching she was doing, not realizing she was doing so to check for anymore injuries.

Unaware of her actions causing said issues with the present kunoichi Haku lead Naruto over to his opponents and helping him rest on the provided chairs. She helped situate him in a way that feels most comfortable, while using every opportunity to stay close to him. Something neither Kin nor Yugito failed to notice, and was slowly pissing them off. Deciding to gain his attention from the slu..I mean other girl Yugito said, "Congrats on your win Uzumaki. If I wasn't as excited before than I am now. I can't wait to fight you when I get the chance."

Seeing another girl getting up close to Naruto, Kin decided she didn't wanna be left out she came up and gave Naruto a once over. Something that didn't go unnoticed by Haku or Yugito. Before either could make an attempt at getting her away she said, "How are you feeling Uzumaki-kun? You looked a little unsteady walking up here." Not wanting her to try and getting any cozier with her Naruto-kun, Haku subtly pushed her aside and went back to checking Naruto's injuries while saying, "He's mostly fine, but don't worry I've got everything under control."

While to most it would seem like a simple statement to most, Kin and Yugito could clearly sense the hidden meaning in her words, 'Back off my man BITCH!' Not noticing the growing tension in the air Naruto spoke up, breaking whatever possibility of a coming catfight that would have most likely happened, "It's nothing to worry about Yugito-san, Kin-san. I just a little sore and tired, but I'll be up and ready in a few minutes."

All three blushed at his smile he directed to them in hopes they'd stop worrying over him. However the moment his eyes went back to the arena below and the girls noticed the blushes on the other's cheeks then instantly went back to glaring at each other, all thinking the same thought, 'Next chance I get I'm gutting these bitches.'

Just as Genma made the call for the next match Naruto suddenly felt a shiver go up his spine, 'Why do I feel like I just became the center of something I'd much rather run away from?'

Not realizing the coming storm Naruto's unknowingly caused he turned to hear Genma call forth the next Genin for the coming match.

CHAPTER END!

Arashi: FUCKING FINALLY!...That felt like it took way to long to finish. Now I can take a moment to rest and focus on my next important project.

Yurei: Chapter 6 of Bijuu Armor or our 2nd Project?

Arashi: Neither, I'm gonna focus on finally beating Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning first...damn games taking quite some time to beat. Just getting near the end and heading out to kick the Final Boss's giant ass.

Yurei: Interesting but still, maybe you should let these people in on the new project we've been discussing.

Arashi: Good point...so what should be mentioned first? *scratches head*

Yurei: How about the actual idea itself? Maybe a sneak peek? Bait the hook man, it's like fishing.

Arashi: True...but give them a more detailed summary then I can fit in the story description or a sneak peek at my planned first chapter?

Yurei: Do a detailed description.

Arashi: Okay, where to start though? Should I go about the basic background and characters and such? Cause that seems like maybe the best way to grab their attention.

Yurei: That sounds like the best place to start.

Arashi: *Puts on Sunglasses and activates Ace Ventura voice* Alrighty then!

Arashi: ALRIGHT! Here's what me and my esteemed colleague were just talking about. I have a dream!...wrong start up...Ahem...I had a dream about my next fic. This story will be an AU with Naruto characters being the main cast. However they will not be my only anime characters making appearances, this fic will include some from Bleach and DxD High School to name the majority. But the main characters will be a main cast of 4 with 2 others taking it close to 6. These Main four will be Naruto: as my main male lead, Rias: from DxD taking my main female lead, and the last two will in fact be myself and Yurei playing as the 'Older Mentor Brother' roles. Alongside this I will be basically creating an ENTIRE new world and universe for this fic. I will be using aspects from several different series to create and reference it the like of which include: Harry Potter, Naruto, Power Rangers (by minor parts NO RANGERS), and a few other series that will be named for their contribution. With that being said I think I covered everything necessary...I think? Did I forget anything Yurei?

Yurei: I think that should be enough. Now I think it's time for me to start hunting Pariah Dark. See yah.

Arashi: Hey don't forget me, it gets boring around here with not many of my favorited fics being updated enough.

Yurei: *groans* Fine, but one more fiasco like last time and I'm never taking you with me again. *Opens portal to Ghost Zone and walks through*

Arashi: Oh come on! How was I suppose to know that the giant pile of bones was his undead dragon! Everything in his realm was made of bones. *Sigh* Well goodbye and see yea next time...be on the lookout for Chapter 1 of my newest fic, since I plan to at least get chapter 1 out first before continuing this fic. Wait up! *Jumps through portal as it closes*

*Arashi's head pops back out of the portal* Oh here's the index by the way, Ja Ne!

1-I plan to go back and forth from calling him B, Bi, Kirabi, Killer Bee, and Hachibi Host and similar titles. The same with all other Bijuu and Jinchuuriki.

2-In my own opinion at least

3-This is more for a reminder to those who have an interest in NarutoxHanabi, I will admit to liking the pairing if only cause it's rarely used and an interesting dynamic. The younger sister liking the older one's crush and all.

4-And that is how Naruto goes about the whole 'how the armor keeps up with his size changing', it readjusting itself to his size and form. It's a man made adaptive armor meant to only be handled by him and is apart of him in a way. No matter how tall, muscled, or all around developed physically it will still only ever fit him.

5-Think like when characters in DBZ, or other fast paced fighting animes like One Piece, are when two fighters are throwing several punches in seconds at each other, you just see the blurs of them.

6-Just to be clear for those that might think, well what about the Kawarimi, here's my two counters: 1-Most ALL clan nins are shown to almost NEVER even use the Basic 3, and 2-I'd like to believe a combo of surprise at Naruto using an Elemental Jutsu and reflex lead him to using the Kaiten instead

7-Just as a heads up the attack was intended to be a combination of Domon's Burning Finger and Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch...that's why I used the Burning Finger's Theme and mentioned falcons in the title.

8-Any WWE, Wrestling Fan, or even some who aren't fans should know this action...but just to get a true visual he did the Undertaker's signal for his Finisher.

9-And for those that didn't see it coming he did indeed use the Undertaker's signature Tombstone Piledriver, well that is the jumping variant he used on Shawn Michael's at Wrestlemania 27.

10-Standard foreshadowing, give me your guesses but you won't be confirmed till some time later.
