Alright I'm back with a new chapter! Took a little longer since I had to study for school while also plan out how to write this.

Disclaimer: Don't own any characters, just this story.

I've had someone suggest that the characters I use, I put at the end of the chapter who they are and what universe their from. I've also had someone post that they drew blanks on some of the names. I'm debating on whether I should do that for the end of each chapter, or just make one chapter at the very end, showing all the characters and where their from. Let me know if you want info on the characters at the end of the chapter.

Now for our review corner!

Some of you tried to guess my characters! Well, some of you guys got some of the characters. Although Zoro is the most obvious one I was already planning to put. The characters I chose were ones that came into mind in a snap and something I could easily write out. Some I didn't think of and wish I had. I will say that I initially did want Sephiroth in this, but I threw that idea out. He's part of the security force of SOLDIER, so no off time for him to particpate. That, and I feel like his character wouldn't really want to do so, and he might be a little op.

Gold Testament: Glad you liked my intro note and everything else

Vivaelamine: Thank you. I appreciate it

Shodai Uzukage-Naruto Uzumaki: Thanks for your review. I'm still debating on who'll become the godfather. Also, it won't be Jiraiya.

dragonball256: Zoro's in it for sure!

Justlucky05: Thank you!

Krisxs: Appreciate it.

Wyrtha: You'll find out soon enough. I promise it won't disappoint.

dbtiger63: Thanks for the comment. I was a little worried the fight scenes weren't done well enough.

EndlessChains: I enjoyed writing all that. Thanks, and I promise I'll keep the quality or make it even better.

ZyiareHellsing: Haha! Looks like we're on the same wavelength.

Another Guess: I don't know why you're attacking me, but I think I somehow offended you. Here's the bottom line. Thank's for the idea plot, but I will not use it. Having the story after the 4th shinobi war means I don't have Neji and Jiraiya in my character choices. Please don't counter with 'manipulate canon so they live,' as that's a bullshit reason. I will not abandon this story just to write another one using your idea. I will not write more than two stories at once since I do have other projects that take up my time. Laziness isn't the question, and neither is stupidity. If you really want to see a story with your idea, then go ahead and write your story using your own idea or post it as a challenge for other fanfic writers to use. If you need help, I can pitch a few ideas for you to use if you want.

shadoryu-kun: Thanks

For everybody else: Thanks for reading! I hope you'll enjoy this new chapter. A little warning, some of my character might seem a little ooc.

The Easterners all got up to get ready for a new day. They had lost the first one but were hoping to bounce back. At this point, they were willing to have even the samurai to win for the pride of the East. Most of them filed into the Colosseum. Sasuke was being stubborn again and opted to head towards the training field, while Sakura was content on chasing him. Tsunade sighed at this. This act merely enforced her opinion that she made the right choice to not take Sakura as an apprentice. It was a shame, considering her chakra control was one of the highest she had seen, but with her attitude, it would reach nowhere. As the competitors went towards the arena while the others sat in the audience, Tsutomu and Orochimaru decided to join them in the Kage box next to Koyuki. Tsunade wasn't pleased but couldn't do anything about it.

At the middle of the arena, Koto wasn't the announcer for this tournament. Instead, there was a man wearing a suit with the microphone. He had large square sunglasses, a red tie, and blonde hair that was combed back.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to our Weapons only Tournament! My name is Eric, and I'll be your announcer for this tournament! Here we have our toughest fighters all ready to battle for the grand prize of 100 million ryo! The format will be the same as the Taijutsu tournament. Any attacks are allowed as long as the weapon is the source of the attack! That means no using hand signs for attacks. You'll have to wait for the next tournament for that! And don't worry about hitting anyone else, we have special seals provided from the Uzumaki clan placed at each arena that'll prevent anything harmful from spilling out. But forget about that let's introduce our competitors today! If you look at our screen, you'll see our competitors today!"

Konoha only three members participating. It was four until one of them decided to open his mouth and dig himself into a grave, courtesy of Yoko Kurama. The other villagers who had lost a member were all in the Taijutsu tournament. Again, the Easterners decided to look for the Western Competitors. They found their name in a nice straight line.

Kagura

Roronoa Zoro

Guts

Enzu

Id with an aka as Yeh Chun-Hwa

Uzumaki Kenshin

At this last name, all the Easterners froze. They now knew that some of the Uzumaki's made it to the west, but this name struck terror into them. A famous swordsman that even Tetsu was wary of. He had fought against a younger Mifune and won, annihilated an old generation of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist by himself, and was known for his sword style, the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu. It was said to be so fast that if any shinobi attempted to make hand signs in front of him, they would find themselves without hands and legs. He was said to be the strongest swordsman in the Uzushiogakure, protecting the Kage in that village. During the invasion against 3 main villages, the man took to the front lines and slaughtered many by himself, halting many invasion plans, earning his nickname Battosai, the manslayer. Kiri, Kumo, and Iwa thought he was dead when Uzushiogakure finally fell. The older generation of the Konoha shinobis except Homura felt a different chill. What wasn't known was that Kenshin was actually Kushina's younger brother, making him Naruto's uncle! A select few of Konoha's top leaders had known Kenshin had survived, but he had agreed to hide for awhile for the safety of his people. Homura was shaking in his shoes and pissing himself. He quickly excused himself to the bathroom. When Kushina died, he sent a request immediately to adopt Naruto. The reply came back telling him that Naruto died during the sealing process, and so Kenshin left for the West convinced he had nobody left at the East, not knowing it was a lie made by Danzo, Homura, and Koharu. Sarutobi had never seen the letter and had no idea about it. Meanwhile, Tsunade could only hope she could convince the emperor, although the difficulty just shot up. He was known to be fiercely protective of family. They all hoped that it was just someone with the same name. As they scanned the Western competitors, their heart sank. Long red hair in a ponytail, wearing a red kimono and white hakama, and his famous cross-shaped scar on his left cheek that he got from the invasion. His usual fierce face seemed to have transformed into something more calm and happy, though.

"Alright then. Let's see who's fighting whom! We have 42 competitors, this time, so again, 9 fights will take place right now. The second set will take place straight after, and the last three matches after that. A 30-minute break will take place after the first preliminaries are done! After that, we'll have 21 competitors, so someone will get a pass on that. Then, we'll be able to have 10 competitors fighting for glory and money the next day!" announced Eric.

"Hope we fight someone interesting," commented the white-haired man named Enzu while looking at his sword. The Easterners were thinking he was crazy when the man's black sword with a creepy red looking eye suddenly responded. "Yea. I wanna fight against Lamia. Show that bitch who's the better sword."

Suddenly, the long black hair's sword seemed to give off some light that soon formed into a woman. "Take that back! Id-nim will win against you!"

"Now, now Lamia," said Id, trying to calm his sword down, "No need to be so antagonized."

'Oh great, talking swords now,' thought Suigetsu. 'And I thought our swords were unique.'

Naruto took a look to see who his fighters were fighting against. Zoro had Killer B, Guts fighting Suigetsu using Kubikiribocho (they stole it from Zabuza's grave), and Meliodas fighting a Kiri-nin wielding Shibuki.

Gaara became worried when he saw Matsuri was fighting against Hidan. He wanted to jump down and advise her to give up, but couldn't. If he did, then he would be showing weakness in front of the other villages. Gripping his hand, he could only watch helplessly and hope the proctors could protect her.

"Sensei's gonna win this hands down," said Karui.

"Yea, Killer B is going to win so badly that'll the opponents will feel HOT!" said Atsui.

"I wouldn't be so sure," said a voice. They turned around to see Yugito had decided to join them.

"What do you mean?" asked Darui. "Surely a unique style like Bee will surprise them."

"You'll find out," commented Yugito as she sat next to Samui.

"How dull," said Darui.

(All these fights are going to take place at the same time, so I'm just gonna describe them in order. Just imagine it all taking place)

Arena 1

"HAHAHA. Finally, I get to sacrifice someone for Jashin!" Hidan laughed maniacally. Koetsuji was just staring at him while Matsuri was slightly scared. She took a deep breath as she readied her weapon, the rope dart. She had read about Hidan's abilities and hope her technique was able to subdue him since Hidan was apparently immortal. As the fight started, Matsuri did her best to dodge and counterattack. Hidan got mad enough that he used brute strength and swung his weapon down. Matsuri jumped back, but rocks pelted her from the weapons impact. She had to close her eyes and made a mistake. Hidan capitalized on it by quickly slashing up, getting a small cut on her cheek. Quickly licking the blood, Hidan performed his ritual.

"Haha, you lose!" yelled Hidan as he stabbed his leg. Matsuri shrieked in pain as her leg suddenly had a hole in it. Seeing that she couldn't win, she gave up. Koetsuji nodded and declared Hidan the winner before telling him to stop.

"You can't stop me from sacrificing someone to Jashin! DIE LITTLE GIRL!" yelled Hidan as he was about to plunge his weapon into his heart.

"NO!" yelled Gaara as Orochimaru was just grinning. He was surprised to see that Koyuki wasn't even worried. The reason became very obvious a few seconds later.

Hidan suddenly found himself dropping his weapon. He looked at his hands to see it dislocated, Matsuri screamed in pain as her hands were also dislocated.

"My apologies, madam. I had to stop this fool from killing you," said Koetsuji.

Hidan was pissed. How dare this person stop him from sacrificing the girl to Jashin! He was next!

"I already have an idea of how your ability works. That's why I've already taken steps to stop it," said Koetsuji.

Hidan quickly looked down to see that there were rocks missing around his circle that he had drawn on, therefore making the ritual ineffective. Hidan tried to hit him when he felt his world spin. He was suddenly thrown and forced into an extremely awkward position.

"Forced into an Agonizing, Destruction HELL!" yelled Koetsuji.

Hidan tried to move but found out that he couldn't even move a pinky. The only thing he could only do was scream obscenities, which was quickly silenced by a seal.

"I declare Hidan to be disqualified. Nobody will proceed in this match." Koetsuji said calmly. Gaara let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He would have to personally thank Koetsuji for saving Matsuri. Orochimaru was face palming at Hidan's loss. Pain had even ordered Hidan to keep his temper and religious zeal in check, but obviously, Hidan hadn't bothered listening.

"Dammit Hidan, I'll kill you for costing us money," muttered Kakuza

Arena 4

Suigetsu was sweating like crazy. He had hope with Kubikiribocho he would frighten his others, but his opponent, who was wearing black armor, also had a sword just as big as his, if not bigger. Suigetsu had to put extra chakra into his muscles to wield his, but his opponent swung his weapon swiftly with no trouble at all. Suigetsu was soon disarmed by an upward slash and almost killed with a following downward slash had Guts not stopped 1 cm right before hitting his skin, showing his mastery of his blade.

"Give up?" said Guts. Suigetsu numbly nodded and Guts lifted his blade and put it on his back. As he walked away, Suigetsu quickly ran in front of him and... bowed to him on his knees, forehead hitting the floor.

"Teach me how to wield a sword!" pleaded Suigetsu. Guts was confused for a second and decided to just keep walking away, with Suigetsu chasing him. Mei could only sigh. Guts also seemed to be a fine man, but seeing one of her shinobi chasing after someone was depressing.

Arena 7

"Die Shrimp!" as the Kiri-nin wielding Shibuki slashed down with all his might. Deidara was busy yelling about art being an explosion, cheering on the shinobi with Shibuki, hoping to see explosions.

Meliodas sighed, "I don't have time for this. I gotta check on Hawk to make sure he's not pigging out again." He swung upwards against the opposing sword with his, causing it to stop.

"Ha, you fell for it!" yelled the Kiri-nin. Explosions went off, however, it didn't go the way he expected. Instead of the explosions going off towards Meliodas, it came back at him instead, knocking him out.

"Full counter buddy," sad Meliodas as he walked off.

Arena 8

"Haha be Eight my number. Be prepared to be hacked and sacked by me, Killer B bakayaro konoyaro!" rapped B. The cloud-nins all had clouds over their head as Bee continued to make a fool out of himself. Zoro merely took out his three swords, putting one in his mouth.

"Santoryu? Haha meet my nanatoryu bakayaro konoyaro! Take a look cause now Imma give you a taste of my hook," exclaimed Bee as he chucked his swords up and caught them all in his unique pose. Zoro lifted his eyebrow at this and was interested.

B suddenly jump and flipped forward to attack. The Raikage was looking with interest at this fight, considering it was his little brother that was fighting. He was amazed to see Zoro parrying B's fierce attack without a sweat. Even with all the acrobatic moves that would usually confuse someone, Zoro took it without blinking an eye. Then, Zoro attacked.

"Not bad," Santoryu! Kokujo: O Tatsumaki! Zoro spun around in a circle before a cyclone was formed.

B was sent flying away from this attack. He managed to land within the arena, but two of his swords were broken, and a cyclone of blades was still coming his way. Cursing, B quickly jumped above it to entering in it, spinning the opposite direction with a lot of chakra from his tailed beast. The tornado was neutralized, but he was breathing heavily.

"What's wrong? Is that all?" asked Zoro, grinning.

"Hehe, not even close to doze!" rapped B as he threw two blades and charged forward, thinking he Zoro wouldn't have any range attacks. Zoro just grinned, sending a shiver down his spine and abandoning that plan.

"Ittoryu 360 pound hou!"

A beam of energy came flying out of Zoro's sword, breaking the two blades that B threw and continued forward until the end of the arena, where the seals absorbed the attack.

'What?' thought Darui, 'that was a powerful attack from his sword! They know how to do flying attacks without taking time to channel chakra?'

Mifune was interested at that attack. It didn't seem like a flying sword slash, but rather a cannonball.

"It's time I end this fight," stated Zoro. "This might be overkill, but..."

Zoro moved his arms before they left solid afterimages. He now had three arms on each side and three heads, carrying nine blades.

"Kiki Kyutoryu: Asura."

"Really Zoro?" asked Wong Fei-Hung, the proctor for this arena.

"Holy crap! What is that?" exclaimed Karui.

"Are those real? That's HOT!" shouted Atsui.

'Crap. He has more swords than me with all my swords!' thought B

"Told you guys," said Yugito, "Zoro's one of the strongest swordsmen in the West. He can easily take on S-rank nins without too much trouble. I couldn't even beat him even with Matabi's powers."

"Hope you're ready," said Zoro as he charged forward. B tried to dodge but was too late.

Megurin!(Piercing Drill) B took the attack head on and fell down, unconscious from the attack. Zoro was quickly declared the winner before B was taken in for treatment.

"Not bad. Maybe we can spar again someday if you can improve your sword style," commented Zoro as he sheathed his swords. He was supposed to walk to the waiting/viewing room for the West, but ended up walking the wrong way.

"Zoro! Wrong way! It's that way!" yelled Wong Fei-Hung, causing Zoro to blush.

"I knew that!" said Zoro as he walked towards the direction Wong Fei-Hung pointed.

"The only problem is that Zoro has a horrible sense of direction. He get's lost way too easily. Never let him lead," explained Yugito.

Since the first round of the preliminaries was done, the board quickly randomized the second set. Naruto saw that Kenshin was fighting against Asuma, Enzu was fighting a samurai, Id was fighting Atsui, and Kagura was fighting some Iwa-nin that was leering at her. That match was going to end fast.

Orochimaru, thinking everyone was distracted, tried to release some of his snakes out. These snakes would bite someone and leave a cursed seal. With luck, he could control them and grab some valuable information, and if he was successful, perhaps bite Koyuki and one of the Kages. However, just as soon as the snakes slithered away, weapons suddenly appeared above them out of nowhere and pierced their heads. The Kages and Koyuki were surprised at this sudden movement until they saw the snakes that were pinned under. They glared at Orochimaru for attempting such a dastardly move. Soon, a tan man with white hair wearing a red button up cloak, black pants and black shirt stepped out.

"Orochimaru, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave this area. You can't expect us to tolerate such behavior, especially within distance with other leaders. Comply or die, although I'm wishing for the latter" said the man. Suddenly, Orochimaru found himself staring at a dozen weapons pointed at him. Seeing no choice, he complied. Soon as he left, the swords disappeared.

"Thank you, Archer," said Koyuki. The other Kages were a bit confused at this name. He certainly didn't seem like an archer with that many swords. Before they could question it, the match was starting, causing them to shelve that question away.

Arena 2

"Before we begin, this one must ask you a question," said Kenshin. "Why did Konoha treat Naruto so badly? And why did the village lie to me about his death when this one sent a letter requesting to adopt him when I heard about the Kyuubi attack and Kushina's death!?"

Tsunade whirled around to look at her adviser, who was looking at his feet. Tsunade never received any letters from Kenshin about Naruto, and she was sure that the Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi never did either.

"Most of the civilians in Konoha thought Naruto was the fox. Even some of our Shinobis of our village thought the same. There was just too much fear and anger misplaced at Naruto. If it helps, my father and my clan never thought Naruto like that. As for a letter, I don't know anything about that, and I don't think my father received any letter either." replied Asuma as he got ready and prayed he would live. He didn't expect to be fighting someone so strong with a very reasonable grudge. He didn't want to make his wife a widow so soon.

"I see," replied Kenshin. "It looks like this one was laying blame on the wrong part, that I was. Perhaps some ROOTS needed to be examined."

Kenshin's eyes suddenly turned fierce, sending chills in the Easterners. This was a face they all recognized, the face he used to fight, the face of the famous nickname he received, Battousai the manslayer. Asuma gulped at this before attacking. Kenshin blocked the attack before quickly ending the match with a slash to the chest. Kurenai was gripping her hand so hard that it was bleeding as she saw her husband take a slash to the chest. However, it didn't seem like a mortal wound as medics was already healing the damage. As Kenshin sheathed his blade, he left one last message for Asuma to deliver, "Tell your Hokage I will certainly be looking for the ones responsible for denying my nephew his birthright and family."

Arena 4

Enzu decided to showboat a bit. He slashed the ground, causing rocks to fly up. Before the samurai could do anything, Enzu hit the rocks with his blade with frightening speed, sending it all flying to the samurai and knocking him out.

Arena 6

"Your Hot! Wanna go out with me?" said Atsui.

"You know I'm a guy right? I heard you made the same mistake already," said Id with his eyes twitching and a vein threatening to break open on his forehead.

"What? Aww, man, that's not hot," said Atsui.

The match started and ended quickly. Id would deny that he took his anger out on Atsui.

Arena 9

Kagura used her fans to block and attack physically, winning the match. She wore a dancer's kimono, confusing her opponent on her style. She had pointed ears, red eyes, and beauty that didn't seem human.

The last 3 matches, the only noticeable fighter was Mifune fighting against someone from Oto and quickly defeating him. A 30-minute break was issued to help heal anyone fighting in the next round. During that time, Suigetsu was still trying to get lessons off from Guts.

"All right folks, hope you enjoyed that!" shouted Eric, "Because we're about to go into the second round of the preliminaries! Since one of the matches was declared null, nobody will get a pass! Instead, we'll have 10 matches to see who will enter the tournament! And here are our match-ups!"

Kenshin vs. Samui

Kagura vs. Darui

Zoro vs. Yugao

Guts vs. Kiri-nin with Kabutowari

Enzu vs. Kiri-nin with Nuibari

Meliodas vs. Suna-nin with staff

Id vs Oto-nin

Chojuro vs. Samurai

Mifune vs. Iwa-nin

Temari vs. Omoi

"All right, well everyone head back to their respective areas so we can get this started! Temari and Omoi, stay back for now," announced Eric.

Arena 1

Kenshin, not wanting to hurt Samui too much, ended the match quickly, using the back of his blade to knock her unconscious. She put up a fight, but it wasn't enough.

Arena 2

"This is dull," said Darui. Kagura's eyes twitched a bit before taking a dancer's fan out and spreading them. Darui was interested at this action, but decided he needed to end this and win, otherwise, A might blow a blood vessel for not having any of them reach the second day. He flicked his sword open and channeled chakra into his body, allowing the black lightning to surround him before channeling it to his sword. He dashed forward to slash, hoping to surprise. Kagura merely smiled before swinging her fan.

"Dance of Blades!"

Crescent shaped blades made of wind grew towards Darui, who blocked them with his sword. This move stopped him from continuing forward, though. As if it wasn't enough, Kagura kept creating even more of it.

"She's able to manipulate the wind that easily with a small fan?" gasped Temari. She looked at her own fan, which was much bigger and was about chest height.

Darui had to dodge or block Kagura's attack, Having enough of it, he decided it was time. Quickly leaping back while throwing a shuriken at Kagura to stop her for a second, he got into his stance.

"Ranton: Laser Circus!" he yelled as he stabbed forward. Usually, this move was done with hand signs and used his hands as a guiding attack. However, since this was a weapons tournament, he had practiced it using his sword, although not as accurate.

"Not bad. Try this for one then!" said Kagura as she switched her attack and rapidly swung her fan. Winds suddenly picked and a strong gust was headed towards Darui. Darui was blown off of the ring, but his attack still flew towards Kagura. There was an explosion, and dust covered the arena. Darui shook his head to look to see if his attack was successful. What Temari saw amazed her. As the dust cleared away, a wind barrier was surrounding Kagura, blocking all his attacks.

"Apapapa! The winner is Kagura!" announced Apachai, who was the proctor for this match.

Arena 3

"Dance of the Crescent Moon!"

Yugao tried every trick she knew, but Zoro was able to easily deflect all her attacks. Soon, she overextended and found two blades crossed right under her head, almost cutting into her neck. Zoro was quickly declared the winner.

Arena 4

"Haha! My sword was meant to destroy any defense! I'll crush your sword!" said the Kiri-nin weilding Kabutowari. Unfortunately, he grossly miscalculated the reach Gut's dragonslayer sword had. The last thing he saw was the flat side of Gut's sword coming right into his face.

Arena 5

"Why can't I hit him? How can he see my attacks, they're near invisible!" yelled another Kiri-nin.

Enzu was having fun dodging and deflecting the Nuibari blade until his sword spoke.

"Stop playing around and just end this, otherwise I'll tell Iremi your secret!"

"You wouldn't dare you stupid blade!" yelled Enzu as he dodged another needle.

"I will if you don't stop this person from shooting needles into me!" replied the blade.

Enzu growled but complied. He swung his blade fast in an arc, slashing the air. The swing was too fast for the civilians and some of the shinobis to see to see. The Kiri-nin was confused until she saw a blade of wind coming right at her. She dodged it and tried to get back up to attack, but a blade was pointed right between her eyes.

"I think I win, little miss," said Enzu. The Kiri-nin could only growl and accept defeat.

Arena 6

Meliodas decided to use parry on the Suna-nin's attack, confusing some of the Easterners why he didn't just use his Full Counter move. As he fought, he had a shirt promoting his drinks and made sure everyone saw it before finishing the fight.

Arena 7

"Die Bitch!"

"I said not to call me bitch!"

An indescribable veil of carnage descended between Id and the Oto-nin. After Id was done, the Oto-nin was unrecognizable.

Arena 8, Chojorou wins

Arena 9, Mifune wins

Soon, Temari and Omoi's fight was on. Omoi aired all his worries, annoying Temari. She finished it quickly with a wind Jutsu and a smack to the head. After she was done, she looked at Kagura, challenging her with a stare. Kagura smiled at that.

"All right, we're done with today's section!" announced Eric, "Now let's see who will fight whom in the next day! Will the contestants please come up and announce the number you get?"

The numbers were quickly drawn, and each competitor showed their number.

Match 1: Temari vs. Kagura

Match 2: Zoro vs. Guts

Match 3: Meliodas vs. Kenshin

Match 4: Enzu vs. Mifune

Match 5: Id vs. Chojorou

"Ok then! Winner of Match 1 will fight the winner of Match 2! Same with 4 and 5! The winner of match 3 will fight against the winner of 1&2 after winners of match 4 and match 5 fight. They'll get an hour break to heal up after that match. After that, It's the finals!" announced Eric. "Well folks, have a good rest of the day and get some rest. I guarantee you don't want to miss out tomorrow's fights!"

All right that's the end of this one. Review if you can! Tell me what I can improve on! Hope you guys look forward to seeing fights on my next chapter! I have an outline of what it's going to be.
