Arashi: Welcome one and all to my next chapter. I apologise for the very late updates, a combination of moving to a new place with some friends of mine and excessive play of Borderlands 2 has eaten up my time. Kind of a bad excuse the second one but hey what are you gonna do. I do find it a bit annoying no one tried my new Questions and Answers idea though. But since no one seemed to either get it or care I'll just drop the idea altogether than. *sigh* On another note I'd like to state right now that everything from the star symbol '*' to the next one '*' is borrowed work from godospartan the Kitsune's fic: Naruto's Hellsing: New Age Vampires. I personally asked for permission to use it to build my own version of Gaara vs Sasuke. With that being said you should check his stuff out, they are all very awesome. Oh lastly I have a challenge to anyone here to try. The challenge is a Naruto/Borderlands 2 crossover, with Naruto being the identity of the Assassin Zer0. PM if you're interested for further details. Now on with the fic.

The Bijuu Armors

Chapter 8: Desert Madman vs Duck Arse Copycat

As Naruto headed back to the Fighter's Box and Sasuke collected himself from his embarrassing moment caused by said Uzumaki, the sensei of Team 7, one Hatake Kakashi was getting an earful from his leader. A very unhappy Sarutobi Hiruzen.

-Kage's Booth-

At first Kakashi felt he could easily talk his way out of his small predicament, until he saw the look on the Hokage's face.

Before he could ask for the reason he was brought to see him Sarutobi spoke up, "You're probably curious about why you're here Kakashi-san". Receiving a nod from said Jounin he continued, "Well the answer to that is two-fold the first is to ask you why you felt it necessary to bring Sasuke-kun not only late to the opening ceremonies but also not on time for his match!?"

However before Kakashi could defend himself the Hokage said more, "Alongside that you also seemed to be going back on your own words about teams." "I say this because it has been recently informed to me that since passing your Genin Team all Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura have learned are the following: Teamwork Exercises and the Tree Climbing Chakra Control Exercise. Why is that?"

"Something I found out wasn't taught to them till after you found out your originally classed C-Rank mission became a A-Ranked!"

Feeling the very piercing and very accusing stares on him from the Hokage and Jiraiya, as well as those also present, being the Raikage, Mabui, and Kirabi. Kakashi could only look down in shame as the Hokage finished his accusations, "More importantly from what I've read and heard while your aforementioned Genin have nearly learned nothing from you, your last student has learned a few more Katon Jutsu from both his Clan Library and you. But he also has been coached on matters on Genjutsu and Taijutsu."

Trying to save some face Kakashi replied weakly, "I felt I was honoring Obito's memory by helping his only surviving family. It also seemed prudent to help Sasuke as much as possible for his match with Gaara, not only because he could possible kill Sasuke but also because a vast majority of the high-ranking people in the world were here mostly to see Sasuke fight Gaara."

By the end of his little speech Kakashi seemed to become more confident in his reasoning, and might have possibly won the Hokage over, if it wasn't for a certain mocha beauties opinion added to the mix.

"So what you're saying is because one of your students was from a great clan and the others are apparently not and alongside that since one was being seen as the highlight of these exams he deserves special treatment?" questioned a very annoyed Mabui.

Before Kakashi could refute or counter he claims Kirabi decide to say his own piece, and like always through rap, "That's seems pretty stupid. Such action should be disputed. No student of mine gets special attention, because they know such things lead to dissension."

Before Bii could continue Sarutobi decided to grab reigns of the conversation, "Regardless of your reasons Kakashi. You deliberately abandoned one of your two students when he asked for aid and completely ignore another to a point where she knows next to nothing since graduation."

Giving Kakashi a very stern look the Hokage finished, "With your actions I have no choice but to give your position a full review. One that will be done after these exams are finished. So be mindful of this after the Finals conclude. I expect you in my office on time."

Hearing the dismissal in his voice Kakashi quickly bowed and returned to the audience to watch with the other Rookies and senseis.

-With Gaara, Genma, and Sasuke-

As this was going on Genma reminded the very late Uchiha of the rules. Following this asked for both boys acknowledgement of being ready.

At the duo's nods Genma raised his hand and commenced the battle.

*Sasuke and Gaara turned and stepped out a bit before turning to face again and Genma took a step back himself. "Alright... Begin!" Genma vanished and that started the fight, which... was nothing but the two of them standing at a stare-off.

Gaara's sand gourd opened its cork and the sand itself started to flow out slowly, but just as it was getting around, Gaara gasped and groaned, holding his head in agonizing pain. He started whispering to himself and Sasuke frowned, wondering why he was talking to himself.

Soon, Gaara huffed and slumped before returning to his murderous calm glare. "Come."

Sasuke just stayed put, ready to strike at any time.

-With Naruto-

Naruto hummed as he watched. "Sasuke's going to have to think of a way past that sand shield, and then there's the armor. It took Lee without his weights to even get past the shield, and add-on the gates one by one just to break that armor to shreds even. Speed and Taijutsu are not in Sasuke's favor. But then he doesn't have an awesome armor and sword like I do."

All three kunoichi currently around Naruto could only roll their eyes at his slightly arrogant words. Though still all agreed with his assessment about the current match up.

-Back with the Match-

Without a second more to waste, Sasuke grabbed some shuriken and threw them at Gaara. As expected by everyone saw Gaara's match with Lee, the sand rose up and caught the shuriken with ease, but what shocked nearly all present was sand shield took the form of a hand, and soon into a perfect sand clone of Gaara.

The clone suddenly turned into a huge torrent of sand and blasted straight for Sasuke. He could see the attack coming easily he dodged it quickly and jumped into the air. The clone quickly reformed and threw Sasuke's own shuriken right back at him, but the Uchiha grabbed two more and used them to parry the ones sent back by Gaara.

Seeing an assumed opening Sasuke spun in the air a bit as he maneuvered his legs, preparing to kick, and when he came down on the clone he switch kicked it's hands off it, leaving the sand clone with no arms to use. With a quick and safe landing Sasuke twisted and slammed a back arm into the clone's neck to take it down, but it didn't break, it instead started closing around Sasuke's hand.

Sasuke's quick thinking managed to save his hand as he just rammed a palm into the head of the sand clone and broke the thing. He rushed in fast to try to hit Gaara, throwing a wild punch. Gaara's sand came up to block, as most expected, Sasuke's punch had no effect against the shield.

Deciding to try another move Sasuke suddenly disappeared and reappeared in an instant behind Gaara, which shocked the hell out of him. While in the stands Naruto's eyes narrowed. "He's copying Lee again? Lee couldn't even beat Gaara down, how does he expect to do anything? ...and people call me stupid."

Sasuke threw a rapid jab at Gaara, who was so shocked by the speed he didn't even think about blocking it with his sand, but the sand noticed instantly and came up fast, blocking the fist in time, but not fast enough for much of it as Sasuke's fist pushed the sand inward and Sasuke landed a light blow to Gaara's cheek, making him draw back a bit as Sasuke jumped back and out-of-the-way.

-Up in the Stands-

Kurenai frowned. "If I didn't know any better I'd say that's all of Rock Lee's moves. Kakashi was there when Lee did this, and Lee is much stronger and faster, Sasuke hasn't a chance if all he got was a little more speed, and nothing new."

Kakashi looked slightly confused. "I trained him to be faster, I thought he would be a little faster than that. Why isn't he?"

Nearby Kakashi sat by Maito Gai and Rock Lee, Lee with a crutch from his broken leg and arm, and Gai looking towards Kakashi answered, "Because, unlike Lee, who practiced a whole year on nothing but Taijutsu, getting stronger and faster from nothing more than his will and heart to do so. Sasuke only copied movements, his muscles are not built enough to go as fast or be as strong as Lee is."

Kakashi frowned. "I suppose I forgot about the time and intensity you put Lee through. I didn't have the luxury of time, so I did what I thought would work. I suppose I messed up on that, but Sasuke is still going to win this thing."

That got Gai and Lee's attention, as well as Sakura, Ino, and Chouji who were sitting in the stands beside the two Jounin. He had given Sasuke more than just speed, he had given him a trump card, and the tools to use it.

Sadly, Sasuke was just stubborn and too headstrong to realize he should get back and use that trump card, and went for showing off his speed again(1). Because he rushed in as fast as he could, Gaara put his sand up and tried to attack with it this time, but Sasuke sped around it.

Sasuke dodged the sand coming for him and slide under it to get inside, this time he tried his best to be faster to show off his amazing speed, only for Gaara's sand to come up and block his kick to Gaara's face, and the outer sand closing in on him.

Sasuke cursed and jumped up and back, and looked confused, but also frustrated.

-Back with Naruto and his Vixens(just roll with it)-

Naruto sighed. "Gaara only got hit the first time because Sasuke moved just like Lee did, and Gaara was caught off guard from it to the point he didn't move or try to block. Gaara's seeing Sasuke isn't as fast as Lee, so the teme's not going to get him with speed alone. Gaara's going to win this one hands down."

Yugito looked to Naruto and then back to the match, pondering what Gaara would try next as well. "He has a point. Sasuke gets a single hit in, not enough to really do anything besides maybe a small crack, but that shield came up to his defense and blocked most of the force, meaning this Sasuke guy is just too slow. Hell that Rock Lee character had a vast advantage at the end of his fight with Gaara, and Gaara still won."

-Back with our 'merry' duo-

Sasuke had no time to stare down, as Gaara's sand slung at him once more, flying right for him with amazing speed. Sasuke ran under it and around, trying to get in close again, but Gaara's sand shield rose and suddenly thrust outwards, and Sasuke had to jump up high to avoid damage. He threw several more shuriken only for the shield to come back and catch them again, this time crushing them.

Sasuke jumped over and landed, but this time he didn't try anything rash, surprisingly, and flipped through some hand seals. He breathed in before suddenly shooting out a big fireball with a loud call of "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" Gaara seeingthe incoming attack quickly raised a huge sand wall to block it, and managed to successfully do so as the fireball diminished under the weight of his sand.

The Jutsu was only a diversion, however, as Sasuke had created it and quickly sped behind Gaara, throwing another swift strike, only you have the sand shield come up again and block him all the way this time around. Sasuke groaned at this and just backed off.

Gaara looked disappointed as he turned to Sasuke. "I figured you would be a bigger threat. It turns out that you are not. You're blood, at first I thought it would be worthy to spill, but now I know you are nothing. Just another weakling fighting for a weak goal."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "I fight to be strong enough to kill someone I hate; I don't truly care for anyone else! How is that weak?"

Gaara didn't seem to register that at all, though, as his sand moved around, ready to strike. "Fool. You're words are no longer being heard, for the only thing I wish to hear, is the sound of your blood pouring from your body... Now Die."

Sasuke scoffed and dodged the next tendrils of sand trying to spear into him, then flipped through several hand seals and breathed in again. "Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu!" With that he fired a multitude of small fireballs all around Gaara, who blocked them with his shield again going above him, but a few went past it and hit the ground nearby.

Gaara seen Sasuke was going to be fast enough to dodge his strikes, so he decided to just use his ultimate technique. He put his hand together in a seal and bent his knees, the sand all forming around him.

Sasuke seeing this as an opportunity, and rushed in, going the fastest he could possibly go (2). Seeing as Gaara's sand was all being used to build something, the openings wouldn't have any sand to protect. He ran in as the sand was about to completely form a ball around Gaara, and he threw his hardest and fastest punch to the only hole left.

Sadly, he wasn't fast enough, because just as his fist was about to be thrown, the sand sphere was fully formed, and the last hole to Gaara's body was closed, and Sasuke's fist smashed directly into it. Cursing at his failure and the throbbing pain in his fist he quickly jumped backwards. His Sharingan, having kicked in as he huffed, a defensive mechanism deep inside him acting on his survival instinct had seen the sand sphere also was capable of attacking anyone near it. Around him were spikes forming to killed him because he was too close to it, and thanks to his Sharingan, he had seen them and twisted his body to dodge.

The sand Sphere was also so dense it was almost like steel, and Sasuke's knuckles were almost broken from his last punch to the damn thing. He jumped back and got some more distance, Sharingan eyes wide in surprise at that the next development. It seemed more chakra was building inside, but for what he could not tell.

-Fighter's Box-

Temari, having rejoined the still participating fighters after recovering enough in the infirmary, seeing the sphere come up and looked scared "He's not using THAT Jutsu is he? This isn't good. This'll ruin our plans!" Naruto seeing her panicked state and wondered why, but let it drag on. Kankuro soon limped in and grunted a bit in pain while he too kept an eye on his little brother.

He looked just as some sand formed above the sphere into some kind of eyeball, and he scoffed. "The third eye... He's really thinking of using THAT technique?"

-Kage's Box-

Kirabi above with A and Sarutobi glared. "Something is going on inside that thing...And it's seems like trouble for the wannabe king? Wait I know that chakra. And you ain't gonna like the genre, bro."While Bii rapped Mabui's own sense started picking up something. Carefully signing to her leader she 'said', 'The chakra of the Kazekage feels far different from those of his children.'(3)

Sarutobi looked to her and the Raikage, having caught the brief hand motions from his line of sight, and then around the stadium. He counted his ANBU and glared at one. "I put ten guards around the Stadium in any eventuality, but there are... eleven. No one told me about any extra to be spared here."

Feeling the old signs of his time as the 'Professor' come to him he subtly turned to A and Mabui. Getting their attention via sleight hand gestures he spoke up, "Raikage-sama would be too much trouble to borrow the assistance of your kunoichi for a second?" Raising an eyebrow but deciding to see what the old monkey had in mind slowly nodded his head.

Giving them a small smile that sent an alarm off in A's head, Hiruzen turned fully to Mabui, "Excuse me Mabui-san but, could you do me a favor and tell me if you see ten or eleven ANBU down there?" Seeing nothing really wrong with the request, but turning to A to for a silent order, and getting a nod, she turned to briefly go over the arena walls. After double checking her numbers she turned to the Hokage and said, "I count eleven Hokage-sama, was that all?"

Smiling and nodding back at her he replied, "Yes that will be all, it seems my eyes aren't as bad as I thought they we're. Thank you Mabui-san." As the Hokage turned back to watch the arena floor both A and B shared a brief look while A silently signalled Mabui. Knowing that Sarutobi's quiet observation meant far more than he let on the three nin from Kumo silently kept their eyes on the supposed Kazekage and his guards.

During the course of this conversation Jiraiya caught the hidden message sent his way from his sensei. Quietly excusing himself, Jiraiya stealthy checked out each ANBU positioned around the arena walls.

-With Jiraiya in the Audience Area-

Within seconds Jiraiya found the 'extra' ANBU, stealthily appearing behind the ANBU, who at first seemed to be looking at the arena floor but by the look of the hood, was looking up to the Hokage's box. Seeing someone on the ground he narrowed his eyes. He recognized this one from stopping by the Inuzuka Compound on the rare occasion, it was Kiba, and his dog Akamaru. Both were out cold but from his knowledge from all his time spent around Tsunade, could tell the twowere put into a state of comatose, thankfully not life threatening.

He leaned against the wall gently, keeping himself ready but looking mostly off-guard, he spoke up catching the ANBU's attention, "Hey, what's your code name? The Hokage sent me to check the status of you guys."

The man slowly turned to him. He hummed. "Oh Jiraiya-sama my apologies I didn't see you there. And I'm sorry but do you have anything to confirm your orders came from the Hokage?"

Jiraiya smiled and shrugged. "I asked what your codename was first of all...as for the orders if you're confused and need verification you can easily ask him yourself. You have been watching the Kage Booth more so than the arena floor after all"

The ANBU just stood still. He looked at the mask, and seen it was like a Sloth. "Hmmm. Taida? I take it from the mask you're code name must be that. Who's the kid?"

The ANBU looked down at him then back to Jiraiya. He chuckled. "Must have been too excited to stand the fight. He was thanking me for helping his friend out earlier, and suddenly he just collapsed."

He knew it was bullshit, but he wasn't about to give that away. He nodded and looked interested. "Guess you are right, everyone seemed ready for this one, and I wouldn't blame some people for fainting from too much excitement... Thing is, you are number eleven of ten inside the stadium, last the Hokage counted, so he wanted me to sift through them all to make sure everything was ok. He didn't get any memo."

The ANBU stood still, but he'd seen it, him twitch, making a small jolt to reach for something, a hostile action, but stopped and stood still as rock. "Well, I may to be the one who came in. You only did just leave the box up there, so there are still ten to check for that... However, from your expressions, you won't do that... You are quite the overseer."

Jiraiya seen he was caught onto as well, and smiled. "You're not so unobservant yourself. I suppose that, seeing as I caught you impersonating an ANBU, you being such a skilled Ninja not to be noticed till now as well, you would want to keep it that way, and possibly, quietly, assassinate me or put me in a Coma like the kid there... I do see it's a Coma, not a fainting act."

The ANBU chuckled a bit. "Or, Option B would be to fight it out right here and now and possibly give everything away. What fun would it be to waste the surprise, after all..."

Jiraiya stood still. He wasn't in any danger against this guy, he was a freaking Sannin for a reason after all, and at his point in his life he'd like to believe he was stronger than his sensei, and he still had many hidden techniques now even his sensei or teammates knew of by this point. At this point only a select few could best him in combat, and this kid was sure as hell not one of them.

The thing was from what he could tell this kid was far more than he seemed and it only takes one mistake to get you killed, and this kid was doing a good job at keeping himself from getting into such a position. Besides, he still had to keep an eye on Sasuke, see how much training Kakashi put into him. It dig the Hatake brats grave even bigger when compared to what very little he trained Naruto in later on.

-Arena Floor-

Sasuke was just finishing jumping to kick the sphere from above, only to have the spikes come up and scratch his leg up pretty badly. He quickly flew back to get distance once more. Up in the stands Jiraiya sighed. "Well, guess Kakashi didn't do too well on that regard... if all he got was a little more speed and Taijutsu, he should hang his head in shame."

It was not, however over yet. Sasuke suddenly flipped back and skid up the wall, clinging to it by the chakra of his feet. He did three seals and Jiraiya looked shocked quite heavily. "He... Didn't. He didn't give him that, you can't be serious!"

In a few moments, Sasuke's hand started sparking and generating visible Lightning Chakra in the palm of his hand. When those knowing of the specific move saw it most were not happy.

-Stands-

Jiraiya looked on angry at Kakashi's decision to teach Sasuke that move now. "That idiot, teaching that kind of move to an emotionally unstable kid."

Maito Gai was just as well unhappy with Kakashi's decision to teach the Uchiha his only personal Jutsu. "So that's why you had him mimic Lee's speed. But still to teach him your personal Jutsu is very foolish and dangerous Kakashi."

Without looking at him Kakashi replied, "It was the only way I could think for Sasuke to beat Gaara's defense. Beside your one to talk in regards to teaching dangerous techniques to Genin."

Much to everyone's surprise it was Tenten who came to the defense of her sensei instead of Lee, "Don't try defending yourself like that! Gai-sensei specifically taught all three of us about the Gates around nine month of our time as a team. He especially told us of every advantage and disadvantage in using them and tested us heavily in being fit to even us the First Gate."

After taking a breather Tenten continued, "Even with all that training only Lee had the physical strength, durability, and endurance to open them. Neji quit early since he personally believed that his Byakugan and Juuken would be enough. While I just didn't have enough training to handle them yet."

Looking at Kakashi with a surprising amount of emotion Tenten finished with, "In the end even with all the disadvantages and dangers laid before him Lee continued to train and practice with the gates, knowing that they would be his only true Trump Card to make it in our world. Where as Sasuke has not only his Sharingan but also all his clan's Jutsu and you."

Smiling at his students defense of his teaches Gai said, "She is right though Kakashi, I didn't even tell my Genin about the Eight Gates until nine months in. And yet here you are trying to defend teaching only one of your Genin n A-Ranked Assassination Jutsu after only being a team for only just six."

"Not to mention this same student is not emotionally sound so to teach him a movement to kill was by far the stupidest thing I've ever seen you do" finished Gai.

And while Kakashi was being royally ripped into Naruto was cursing him and Sasuke from within the Fighter's Booth.

-With Naruto-

At the sight of Sasuke's newest Jutsu, all the girls around Naruto hear him give off a feral growl. Looking at him Yugito speaks up, "Are you okay Naruto?"

Looking at the confused expressions of Yugito and Kin Naruto replies, "No I'm not. The Jutsu you're seeing Sasuke use is an A-Ranked assassination Jutsu named Chidori. It's the sole original technique of my sensei Hatake Kakashi."

Hearing this both girls could only look onwards with shock at a Genin using such a high ranked Jutsu. However while two of the girls have looks of amazement Haku only has the look of minor fear.

Having recognized the same Jutsu that took Zabuza's life and nearly hers. Naruto, seeing Haku uncomfortable, puts his hand on her shoulder. Feeling his hand and turning to him Haku notices his warm smile. Gain some comfort from him Haku calms down noticeable and continues to watch the rest of the match.

-Back in the Ring-

Sasuke soon ran down the wall and down to the ground, not stopping there as he ran straight towards Gaara and his Sand Sphere. In an instant, as Gaara's Sphere sent out spikes to stab into Sasuke who drew near, Sasuke's speed managed to dodged past a few, but Sasuke was not able to dodge them all.

Sasuke thrust his new Jutsu at the Sphere, and it pierced the thick hardened sand shield with ease and his arm slid into the hole, the new Jutsu going deep enough to hit Gaara potentially. This attack that had the potential to wound Gaara, came at a cost, however, as Sasuke's leg was stabbed into from the side and his hip side and shoulder all got scratched by others, and finally, a lucky spike had stabbed into his side just a little bit from the suddenly speed going to Gaara's Sphere being too fast for him to dodge left or right.

Jiraiya noticing the wounds and scoffed, "The drawback on that Jutsu, the Chidori, the only thing wrong with it, is it's a straight shot. Using it would create Tunnel vision going so fast, not to mention you're not very agile to go left or right if there are attacks from many directions. Sasuke's going to be unable to fight after this."

In a moment though, a loud cry was heard by all from inside the sand sphere. It was Gaara... "BLOOD! IT'S MY BLOOD! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone was in shock, but Temari and Kankuro were more so, as they were pale, as if seeing their own deaths.

Naruto was gripping the railing, in surprise of Sasuke learning something like that, but also in shock that it worked. Lee couldn't wound Gaara with Taijutsu alone, and Sasuke combined Lee's speed with Ninjutsu to get a clean hit in. He had to admit, Sasuke was getting better.'But that's the problem now, if what we guessed was true then Gaara's gonna try unleashing his Bijuu!'

The Kyuubi chuckled darkly. "I can sense it now far easier... the powers of my stupid brother Shukaku were sealed within that boy... I suppose it was only a matter of time before I met that One Tailed little asshole. Naruto, you better get ready, because this guy may very well be your greatest challenge yet. The battle of the Bijuu maybe over, but the Battle of the Jinchuuriki, will finally begin!"

Looking onwards with a small fraction of battle lust Naruto smirked, "Forget the Hyuuga, this will be my true test for Kurama!"

Hearing that Kyuubi himself could only smile maniacally at his and his containers next challenger, 'Heh, lets see your so-called Great Shield withstand my Flaming Fist brother.'

CHAPTER END

Arashi: Now here's your Omake(4).

The basic idea for this came from a reviewer by the name of No vigilance. So props to the guy for coming up with this.

-Omake: This is your life Gaara-

All present watched as Sasuke Uchiha sped towards Gaara, hand coursing with Raiton chakra over it.

As Gaara watched this from the seemingly safety of his Suna no Tate, his mind flash-backed to the earlier moves Naruto used against the Hyuuga and later the Uchiha. These moves reminded him of a man he met many years ago before the failed assassination attempt done to him by his uncle.

The man was odd and looked like he was homeless, but even so he did something no one else ever did for him before. He gave him a gift, something he to this day still treasured above all else. Even to this day he still remembered the move he showed him with the gift before leaving Suna to travel more.

Recalling the attack used Gaara reached into his pants pocket and drew out of it a most unusual item. After he was sure the new item was properly attached to his right hand and, satisfied with it he prepared himself for the Uchiha's upcoming attack.

Outside the sand sphere Sasuke had just come within striking range of the giant sand ball. As he called the name, "Chidori!", and struck something unexpected happened.

As his fist sank into the sphere Gaara called all the rear sand forward to grab the captured Genin's arm. Staring at the slowly fizzing out fist mere centimeters from his chest, Gaara brought forth his now covered right hand.

All of those watching the match could only stare in surprise and dumbfounded the peculiar item over his hand.

Gaara had over his right hand a sock puppet. And before Sasuke could comment he latched onto Sasuke's face. As he flailed about Gaara said in a much calmer voice then used earlier "Say hello to my friend Uchiha, Mr. Socko."

Those watching could only do so in shock. Here was the frightening Sabaku no Gaara choking out the Last Uchiha with a very dirty old-looking sock!

Soon the poor Uchiha's struggles slowed until he all but pasted out. Seeing he was out Gaara just turned to the proctor and said, "I believe the Uchiha is knocked out. That makes me the winner, correct?"

Trying his best to collect himself after that bizarre finish Genma raised his hand and called out, "Shousa Sabaku no Gaara!"

As he walked off to head back to the stands Gaara looked over at the slowly recovering Uchiha with a thoughtful look on his face, as if trying to recall an old memory. Only for a second later to gain a small epiphany expression upon his face, "I believe the old man said it like this *putting both his fingers up into gun shapes he points both at the Uchiha and shouts out* BANG BANG!"

As the words left his mouth any amount of consciousness left in Sasuke's body left him as he passed out.

As a ghost of a smile came across Gaara's face he whispered five words only the proctor heard "Have a nice day Uchiha."

-End-

Here is the Reference Sheet guys!

1-Which is to be expected, it seems along with their stupid 'Curse of Hatred' the Uchiha have this unquenchable desire to show off all the bloody time. While an atypical villain aspect even the 'Heroic' (and I use the term very loosely) do an unnecessary amount of showboating for almost no reason other than to show just how 'Great' their stupid clan is with its UberHaxor Bloodline.

2-And people say Naruto's the idiot while Sasuke and Neji are the geniuses. Look back on many of Sasuke's early battles from beginning to the end of Shippuden and even some afterwards. His main idea is to either charge his enemy or something along the lines of getting up close. How that is the tactics of a genius, Tzu Shu would be embarrassed by those kinds of strategies, if you can even call them that. And for those that rage at me on him using his fire jutsu for range, yeah he does do that, but only to get up close and still more often than not gets punched in the face or something of a similar regard like blown up.

3-Mabui strikes me as a support type Ninja, mostly from seeing her already shown Jutsu being in that category. As for her sensing the difference now and not earlier is mostly because Orochimaru flaring a minor amount of his chakra to signal Kabuto as well as his growing excitement at the matches end. Besides that she can tell the difference cause even though everyone chakra signature is different, I'd like to believe that some have minor similarities to those with familial relations.

4-The title, last line, and attack where all inspired by the Hardcore Legend Mick Foley. The attack was based on Mick's Mandible Claw/Mr. Socko. A move that evolved from a hand grab on the opponents face to him choking out his opponent with his sock. The title was based on Mick's talk show he did during RAW or Smackdown during breaks between matches. The last line from Gaara was Mick Foley's one gimmick's catchphrase: Cactus Jack. The last line was the name of Mick's award-winning book: Have A Nice Day.
