Disclaimer: Don't own anything except plot

I apologize for the false alarm on my last chapter. What happened was when I uploaded, i took a quick peek to check if it was right and found out that to my horror, the original one I planned to upload had been replaced with repeat of chapter 9. Luckily, I had a backup in my other drive, and I was able check for errors on that one. Unfortunately, it was late at night, and I didn't have the energy to upload it. So I figured I would just do it in the morning later. I took down that chapter about 15 seconds after I had posted it, but it still sent out a message saying I uploaded a new chapter. So, as an apology, here's the next chapter!

It's a bit shorter than my usual chapter, and the original plan was to have it longer. However, the point I ended this chapter felt like it would be the perfect cliffhanger.

On a side note, Frankenstein comes from the Korean webcomic Noblesse. I highly recommend this one, as it's a really good one.

No review corner for this chapter, since I'm uploading early. Next chapter I'll do one for both ch 10 & 11

Arena 4:

Suigetsu slashed at Sora, who dodged it before slashing back. Usually, Suigetsu wouldn't care since the usual swords back at the East didn't affect his liquid body. However, Sora's keyblade bypassed that defense and caused damage, causing Suigetsu to abandon his usual reckless strategy.

'Dammit. How do these Western fighters always have something that bypasses my water form so easily?' though Suigetsu. He didn't have time to contemplate more as Sora chucked his keyblade bathed in fire at him, forcing him to dodge. The keyblade flew back at Sora like a boomerang, who caught it in midair before driving his keyblade to the ground where Suigetsu was.

Spark Dive

Suigetsu paled when he saw lightning coming to shock him and immediately jumped back as far away as he could. He raised his finger and pointed it to Sora like a gun before shooting out several water bullets. Sora easily blocked them before running towards him again. Suigetsu decided to try something else.

Water Clone Jutsu!

A dozen water clones were formed before they all charged at Sora. Sora blocked a few before sticking his keyblade into one of them. Instead of deforming, it stuck onto his keyblade. Before they knew what was happening, Sora was swinging the water clone like a flail, hitting all the other clones in the process , forcing them to all dissolve. Sora decided things needed to speed a bit.

"Give me strength!" yelled Sora. He was instantly bathed in light before the clothes he was wearing changed from black to red.

Valor Form

With two keyblades suddenly in his hands, Sora dashed forward towards Suigetsu, slashing and hacking at high speeds. Suigetsu couldn't attack at all, and soon, bruises and cuts were all over his body.

"All right, that's it!" yelled Suigetsu, leaping over to where the river was in the arena. He quickly drank the water he had in his water bottle before absorbing all the water from the river, forming a giant mutant fish with tentacles.

"Take this!" yelled Suigetsu as he slammed the tentacles towards the Sora. They made huge impacts on the ground that Sora was on, forming dust clouds everywhere. Nobody could see if Suigetsu's attack was successful. A few seconds later, they heard something shatter into pieces. Suigetsu's tentacles all blew up from an explosion.

Wisdom Form!

Reflect!

Sora had changed from Valor form to Wisdom form in an instant, his clothes went from red to blue, and he only carried one keyblade. However, he was now hovering above the ground and gliding on it. Suigetsu, not discouraged by Sora's counterattack, tried to use a different tactic and made even more tentacles, smaller than before. He was attempting quantity over quality, hoping an attack would at least land. Sora deflected a few before hatching a crazy idea. He suddenly jumped over one, landed on it, and started sliding on it towards Suigetsu's main body. Suigetsu was shocked at this and tried to use his attacks on it, but missed. Soon, Sora jumped and was directly above Suigetsu's giant fish, where his main body was. Sora then grinned, causing Suigetsu to shudder at that.

"FREEZE!" shouted Sora, shooting 5 giant pieces of Ice directly at Suigetsu. The ice instantly froze the water upon contact, trapping Suigetsu inside.

Sora descended down onto the now frozen fish and slammed his keyblade down with all his might, shattering the ice and knocking Suigetsu out of his form, unconscious. Radim quickly declared him the winner.

Arena 5:

Tenzo was not enjoying himself. He had Mokuten, one of the most feared blood lines of the East, and yet his opponent was just burning through all his attacks with indiscriminate fire. Speaking of fire, time to dodge!

Karyuu no Houkou (Fire Dragon's Roar)

Natsu shot a large blast of fire from his mouth after taking a huge breath, shooting it right through the defense Tenzo made earlier, again.

"I've heard of overwhelming firepower, but this is ridiculous. That man takes it literally," muttered Tenzo irritably before making some wood clones. His plan was to trick Natsu and sneak up behind him and end it. Before they could separate, Natsu was already upon them with both of his hands on fire .

"With a flame on the right hand and a flame on the left hand! When you combine the flames together... Karyuu no Koen! (Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame)"

Natsu clasped his hands together, and a huge explosion went off, with Tenzo right in the middle. He couldn't do a replacement in time, so the clones he made surrounded him to try to take the brunt of the hit. Tenzo was sent flying off to a nearby river, unconscious. Natsu was the winner.

Arena 6: Deidara wins

After the East side of the chart was done with their fights, the screen quickly displayed who would be fighting next in the West side.

Arena 1: Kakuzu vs Goku

"It'll be interesting to take on his heart for my stash. I wonder how much power I can squeeze out of it," mused Kakuzu.

Arena 2: Orochimaru vs. Anko

Anko glared at her former sensei, ready to get vengeance for all those years. Orochimaru just smiled darkly.

Arena 3: Frankenstin vs. Samui

Arena 4: Iwa jounin gets a pass.

Arena 5: Suna Jounin vs. Suna Jounin (I know, just happened to be chance of the drawing)

Arena 6: Sasuke vs Kotohime

Sakura would have used her banshee voice if it wasn't for the fact that Naruto asked Hisoka to shut her up. He gummed a silencing seal on her back and gummed her mouth shut for good measure.

"Remember, Kotohime. I want you to convince Sasuke to come to Oto during the fight," reminded Orochimaru.

"Of course, Orochimaru-sama. Anything for you," said Kotohime.

Arena 1

This was just not going well for Kakuzu. He thought he had seen all of Goku's moves, but clearly, Goku didn't show everything in his fight against A. In the beginning, Kakuzu had threatened to tear Goku's heart out for his own use. When he heard that, Goku showed no mercy, automatically using Kaio Ken x2 and beating the crap out of him. Kakuzu took so much damage that he was forced to use his water heart and earth heart to stay alive. His hardened skin proved useless as Goku showed he could punch through rocks easily. Before Kakuzu could use his lighting mask to perform a Jutsu, Goku suddenly flooded the arena with light. It was as if a sun had popped out of the arena and blinded him a bit before he noticed his lightning mask was crushed beneath Goku's foot.

"That is it! I'm tired of losing my hearts! I don't even care if I destroy your heart before I can use it, just DIE!" yelled Kakuzu as he quickly drew the lightning mask back. It was just barely alive and had enough for one last large attack.

Katon: Zukokku

His fire mask opened up and a huge burst of flame came forth.

Futon: Atsugai

His wind mask opened up and blasted wind from its mouth, causing the fire to grow even bigger.

Raiton: Gian

Kakuzu himself channeled lightning into the blast.

Triple Element Jutsu: Chaos Impulse (Original name, based off a Gundam)

Goku didn't even seem worried at this huge attack that was coming towards him. Instead, he planted his feet down, focusing his chakra before putting his hand together behind him. Energy could clearly be seen gathering in his hands.

Ka... Me.. Ha.. Me.. HAA!

A huge blast of blue energy left Goku's hands as soon as he put them in front of him. Both attacks met each other in the middle of the arena, causing it to be a stalemate.

"Give up now! It's useless to struggle! I'll kill you and get my hearts from your pathetic friends!" yelled Kakuzu as he tried to channel more chakra into his attack. Then he heard something he wished it wasn't true.

"Kaio Ken," yelled Goku

"Nooooo," said Kakuzu in disbelief.

"Times," continued Goku, as if Kakuzu hadn't said anything.

"No, no, no!" yelled Kakuzu, almost pleading Goku now.

"FOUR!" shouted Goku, deciding to skip x3 and go straight for four.

"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NOO! FUUUUCCC-!" yelled Kakuzu as his attack was pushed back even further and dispersed, leaving him to take the full brunt of Goku's attack. The attack carried him out of the arena and into the barrier that had been placed all around each arena. When Goku's attack finally dispersed, Kakuzu was barely alive with all his masks shattered and unconscious.

Arena 2:

"AAAUU!" Anko screamed in pain. She was clutching on the nape of her neck. The cursed seal that was on her neck was acting up, and she had no way to stop it from hurting. Orochimaru just grinned, relishing the fact that his latest victim was his first disciple.

"Does it hurt, Anko-chan?" teased Orochimaru. "I think it's time to end your suffering. Your body shall prove beneficial for my latest research."

He opened his mouth, in which a snake appeared out that regurgitated his Kusanagi sword. The sword floated into the air bit before he took it by the hilt. Seeing that Anko couldn't continue anymore, Oobleck quickly announced that Orochimaru was the winner. Orochimaru either didn't hear him or ignored it as he charged towards Anko, intent on stabbing her. Suddenly Orochimaru saw Anko disappear in a blur and felt a kick to his chin. He shook his head and noticed that Oobleck had Anko in his arms while the proctor, Ma Kensei, had delivered the kick.

"Enough! I won't forgive you if you hurt this beautiful lady!" said Kensei. Orochimaru growled, but decided to obey, for now. He would just have to plan some way to grab revenge later on. Kensei tried to "perform" treatment on her, only to slightly grope her breasts before being chased by the Oobleck for improper conduct.

Arena 3:

Samui was breathing heavily. Her opponent seemed to be a normal butler, but she couldn't land an attack on him at all. It seemed like he knew what she was planning already, and could counter everything without even breaking a sweat. She still had no idea what his power was, as he stuck with the basics Taijutsu. She remembered Yugito's warning about this opponent, but she couldn't imagine she would be this helpless. She decided to forfeit, thus letting Frankenstein go on to the next round. She didn't feel like fighting Orochimaru even if she did win.

Arena 4: Iwa gets a pass, but gives up on account he freaks out he has to fight Itachi next round.

Arena 5: Suna Jounin wins

Arena 6:

Kotohime managed to ensnare Sasuke into her hair, Sasuke easily cut through it, but not before Kotohime whispered into his ears.

"Come to Oto, and all your dreams will come true, whether it would be power, women, or riches. Orochimaru will personally welcome you. Only the strong woman shall become your wives to sire your children and bring back the Uchiha to glory."

Sasuke savagely kicked her away, but before he could follow up on the attack, Kotohime announced her intention to surrender. As they were whisked back to the Colosseum, Sasuke took time to actually contemplate his decision to defect, and with Kotohime's word, his decision to defect was growing stronger.

After Eric announced that the fights would continue tomorrow, everyone hurried back to their designated shelter. Shikamaru was trying plan out how to fight against Yusuke, Baki was terrified of fighting against Goku, and Orochimaru was planning on how to put his seal on a Western competitor to influence him to defect to him. Many of them asked what Hana had learned, seeing as she had actually sat in the audience with some of the Westerners, but she told them there wasn't much to learn. A, the Raikage was contemplating on how the emperor when B started to rap again. He had to put those thoughts on hold to do a drop kick on B to stop making a fool of himself. After subjecting B to a few 'brotherly punches', he found himself alone with his village members. Samui quickly took this time to approach A.

"Yugito-neesama gave me a letter and told me it was for you specifically. She mentioned something about putting a good word for us, and that the Emperor of the Imperial West would be willing to meet with us tonight. She specified only you, B, and me could come." whispered Samui.

A didn't need long to think about it and immediately accepted when he read the letter. Later that night, when everyone was asleep, A, B, and Samui snuck to the meeting point, where they were blindfolded and lead teleported to the palace by Goku. They were quite shocked to see that the Emperor was Naruto, but quickly got down to business. They soon agreed on a non-aggression pact with some trade agreement. It was not as lenient as Kiri's or Suna, but it was expected since Neji still had a slight grudge on Kumo for what happened to his father.

Meanwhile, Utakata was talking to Naruto and three other people, as Yugito was still with Samui.

"Are you sure you want to come out like this Naruto-sama? We don't necessarily need you for this part of the tournament." The others agreed.

"Thanks for the worry, guys, but I still plan to do this. Don't worry, those that don't know won't suspect a thing. That's what shadow clones are for," replied Naruto as the night crept in.

OOOH! What happens next! What will Naruto do? Find out on the next chapter. Read&Review! Thanks, and hoped you enjoyed this early release.
