Author's note: Thank you guys so much for your reviews and I also love pancakes. I also had to start re-watching some episodes to not make any mistakes and i've gotta admit even back then Naruto was so cool!^^
Naruto does not belong to me but to Masashi Kishimoto
After the proctor ended the match it was silent for a couple of seconds. But after those seconds the stadium exploded in applause and cheer. Naruto was shocked but then he smiled and showed them the peace sign.
' You idiot, you still have the final rounds but I'm proud. You were able to beat the hyuga even though everyone thought you had lost. That's my naruto' Sasuke thought feeling pride for naruto.
"Naruto defeated Negi, oh man I can't believe it and I thought naruto was the same as me. One of the dorky uncool guys, now everyone is saying that he is going to make something big of himself. Just great, I doubt I could beat him now. This is really bad I've never felt so depressed...what a drag" Shikamaru complained, thinking that naruto couldn't win but did.
" jealously is an ugly thing shikamaru" sasuke had stood up and leaned on the rail right next to shikamaru, who was also smirking(sasuke). Shikamaru simply let out a long sigh.
" troublesome" but Shikamaru didn't say anything more.
Naruto had went up to the waiting area. " Hey sasuke I told you I could beat him"
" I never doubted you" Then sasuke leaned in towards naruto's ear. " And i'll show you exactly how proud I am of you tonight" sasuke whispered seductively and he left swaying his hips a bit. It left naruto drooling.
' I need to start beating more strong people up dattebayo!' Naruto thought inside his head wondering what sasuke would do which made Naruto get a nosebleed
" Hey Naruto you ok, your bleeding form your nose" Shikamaru asked thinking the guy got more injured than he imagined.
" huh... oh i'm fine just excitement dattebayo" naruto laughed nervously while scratching the back of his head.
Sasuke even though he didn't show it, he was incredibly embarrassed with what he said. ' Oh my god why did I say it like that, ugh stupid naruto. Making me say such strange things.' He headed down the stairs blushing like a virgin which he wasn't.
Sasuke made it down to the arena where Garra was. He stayed across from him with the proctor in the middle.
" The rules are the same as in the preliminaries. The match will go on until one of you dies or gives up. If I determine that there is a clear winner, I may stop the match but I will make that decision" the proctor continued to chew on his sebon. Garra started to chuckle crazily looking like he went mad. Sasuke furrowed his brows, glaring at Garra. Tension built up within the arena because of the anxiety of wanting to see the last Uchiha and the Kazekage's son fight it out.
' Be careful sasuke, that guy's dangerous' naruto warned sasuke mentally. If it looked like sasuke was about to be killed than naruto would step in, no matter what.
The proctor looked to the left and then to the right," Begin!" the proctor started the match.
Sand started to rise from Garra's gourd and sasuke leaped back in surprise. Garra held his head groaning in pain.
" Don't get so mad at me" Garra said to no one." Kaa-san"
' what is this guy talking about' sasuke not liking how crazy Garra looked at him.
" Back there...back there... I made you absorb foul blood" Garra was still holding his head." I'm sorry.. but.. this time it'll taste better" Pain came over Garra but then it stopped and the sand fell from the air. Gaara looked up," come"
" Let's start" Sasuke grabbed ninja stars from his pouch and threw them at garra. The sand from garra stopped the stars which formed a sand clone of Garra. Sand rushed to sasuke and sasuke jumped up dodging the sand. The clone and Sasuke threw ninja stars at each other and the weapons hit each other and deflected the opposite ways. Sasuke got close to the clone and side-kicked it, he used the floor to side punch the clone in the face. The sand started wrapping it's sand around sasuke's arm but sasuke punched the head of the clone which caused it to disaffirm itself. sasuke then aimed to punch Garra which made Garra bring up his sand. Sasuke then moved his foot slightly to the left and he disappeared and reappeared behind Garra.
Garra turned back and was punched right in the left cheek so hard it caused him to be pushed back by a couple of feet. Garra landed and looked at sasuke with distaste.
" That must be the armor of sand. Come" sasuke raised his right hand in a ' come and get me' position. A couple seconds passed. " If your not coming to me, I will go to you" and sasuke started rushing towards Garra. He disappeared in front of Garra and made Garra bring his sand in front of him. Sasuke reappeared behind Garra and rushed to Garra dodging the sand and kicked garra right in the face. It made Garra fly up and land a couple of feet away from him.
" what's wrong? Is that all you got? I'll tear down that amour of yours." sasuke started rushing towards Garra again and started circling him incredibly fast. Sasuke ran to the front of Garra and back-kicked him and grabbed the shirt of Garra to knee Garra in the stomach. Sasuke leaped back from Garra. He started breathing a little heavier because of the amount of speed he was using which consumed his stamina. Garra made his sand cover him in a circle and sasuke started running to him and aimed to punch the hole that wasn't covering Garra. But was stopped by the sand and the sand come out like spears. Sasuke leaped back in pain. His right hand was bleeding slightly from the force. Blood ran down sasuke's right leg and he was slightly grazed on his right cheek.
" he's using all his sand to guard. I didn't think that the difference in sand density could make it this hard. This must be what people call an absolute defense" Sasuke thought about what technique to use on the sand. Some sand started going up in the air and formed a eye. Sasuke tarted running to the circle of sand but had to dodge the multiple sand spears aiming for him. He then remembered the technique jiriaya taught him 2 weeks ago. He wasn't perfect with it but it'll do. Sasuke flipped back multiple times and skidded up the wall, sticking to it using his chakra. But suddenly a wave of nausea came over him. He slipped for a second but regained his footing.
' What no it can't be, no I can't throw up in the middle of a match. I feel so tired all of a sudden' Sasuke grabbed his mouth trying prevent him himself from giving the crowd a different kind of show. ' Dammit I feel so dizzy, i'm seeing three of the same sand dome.'
' sasuke what's wrong dattebayo!' naruto held the rail in worry. Sasuke was slightly kneeling over, he looked out of focus and not at all confident as he was a couple of minutes ago.
Sasuke regained his bearings still feeling nauseous but he had to finish this match before he threw up all over his opponent. Seasick turned his head to the direction of the competitors. He then saw naruto looking worried over him and felt determination wash over him. He turned back to his opponent and counted his time before he would throw up his breakfast. He raised his hands and made a hand sign. He jumped toward Garra, " Five dragons lighting strike justu!" It was a lighting justu that made five lighting strikes that looked like dragons that hit the enemy dead on. It was a B-rank justu. It was medium range attack. So you didn't have to be that close to hit the target.
Once the attack hit it managed to make a small hole in the sand but it was enough and sasuke grabbed a kunia threw the kunia as fast as he could. Before Garra could react the kunia went threw the tiny hole and hit Garra on his right arm.
" Blood! My blood! " Garra screamed seeing his blood for the first time and feeling physical pain.
