the jinchūriki was rushing.
he had finally arrived at the arena.
he saw his teammates "hey Hinata, Sasuke." he said while waving.
the two looked at their blonde teammate.
"hey Naruto-kun, are you ready for the preliminaries?" Hinata asked.
the blonde gave his traditional foxy grin "you bet, I'll take on anyone."
Hinata giggled at her crush.
"hey Hinata, are you okay? your face is red."
"oh, yes. I'm okay." 'today is finally the day. Naruto, I will confess my love towards you. I just hope that you accept my feelings and return them.'
"if you say so."
"alright everyone."
everyone turned their attention towards the bandana head wearing man.
"I'm Shiranui Genma. the replacement proctor for this part of the exams due to... reasons."
as the second proctor talked, Tsunade felt bad for Hayate, by the time she was called in for him, it was already too late for her or her apprentice to do anything.
"anyways, you all know the rules, so let's stop wasting time."
meanwhile in kage's booth, the current kazekage gave a loud yawn.
Hiruzen looked over to his fellow kage "are you alright kazekage-dono?"
"yeah, just incredibly tired. no thanks to my youngest son."
Hiruzen raised an eyebrow "care to explain?"
"well, my son, Gaara, thought it would be hilarious to put sand in all of my coffee mix. by the time I found, it was too late to replace my coffee, as I had to be here. leaving me with no energy."
"ah, I see."
"yeah" 'curse you, my Karura why did you have to give our third kid the ability to control sand?'
"first up, Uchiha Sasuke vs Rock Lee."
"YOSH, I'M FIRST AGAIN!"
the two got up into position.
"prepare yourself Uchiha Sasuke, cause you will be blinded by my shining youth!"
the Uchiha sighed "how Naruto handles you daily is something I'll never understand."
"HAJIME!"
Lee ran up to punch Sasuke.
Sasuke activated his sharingan and dodged the attack and retaliated with his own.
Lee got up and wiped the dirt off his face "not bad, I'm not done."
Lee than ran up behind the Uchiha and kicked him.
Sasuke was thrown across the arena, and made hand seals "fireball jutsu"
Lee was quick to dodge the fireball and ran up to the Uchiha's side.
Sasuke was only barely able to dodge.
'dammit, he's too fast for me.'
Sasuke then pulled out his tantō
quickly slashing his tantō at the bowl cut boy, he quickly grew frustrated with the bowl cut as he quickly dodged his slashes.
it was then, Lee boldly punched Sasuke, sending him across the arena.
Sasuke then made some hand seals "grest fireball jutsu"
the giant fireball then hit Lee.
Sasuke smirked, but it quickly disappeared as soon as Lee got up.
"first gate: gate of opening."
everyone gasped.
Sasuke was surprised "first wha-"
Lee quickly rushed at the Uchiha, and Sasuke barely dodged the attack.
Lee jumped and kicked Sasuke in the face.
'AGAIN!?'
Sasuke got up and attempted to make a fireball.
"second gate: gate of rest"
in what seemed like an instant, Lee punched him in the chest, sending Sasuke into a wall.
Sasuke attempted to get up, but the pain was too much, and fell unconscious.
"this winner by knockout is Rock Lee!"
the two were escorted to have their injuries healed.
"up next is Hyūga Hinata vs Kankuro."
the two got into positions.
"HAJIME!"
Kankuro quickly pulls out his puppet.
Hinata quickly jumped back and activated her byakugan.
noticing the chakra laced strings,she took aim with her bow.
she shot at the strings, severing the connection between Kankuro and his puppet.
"crap, proctor, I forefeit." the cat ear wearing genin said bitterly.
"the winner by forefeit is Hyūga Hinata."
Kankuro picked up his, mumbling about the doujutsu that had beaten him.
"you did great Hinata." the blonde jinchūriki said.
"thank you, Naruto-kun." 'the time is getting closer'
"up next is Nara Shikamaru vs Temari."
Naruto sighed "that's Shikamaru for you."
"the winner by forefeit is Temari."
meanwhile in the kage's booth, the kazekage chuckled "I hope your shinobi is ready for what's to come in the future, cause my daughter is quite the prideful one. no way she is going to accept that."
Hiruzen sighed "troublesome." he said dryly, and little bit mockingly.
all of the Nara clan members sneezed.
"up next is Uzumaki Naruto vs Kin."
the two got into position.
"hey Kin, pick a number between 1 and 9."
"uhh, 5?"
'you're up, Kokuō'
"HAJIME!"
"boil release"
at speeds that surprised most of the spectators, Naruto ran up and punched the oto nin.
the oto nin git up "proctor I forefeit."
"the winner by forefeit is Uzumaki Naruto."
Naruto wasn't satisfied with his quick victory, but accepted it and returned to the participant booth.
"up next is Inuzuka Kiba vs Aburame Shino."
"the winner by forefeit, is Aburame Shino."
Kiba clapped for his sunglass wearing teammate "congrats on winning, now please get your bugs off my friend please."
Shino nodded, doing just that.
Kiba sighed "come on Akamaru, I'll help deal with the itchiness."
the ninken whimpered.
"up next is Akimichi Choji vs Zaku."
the two got into positions.
"HAJIME!"
"partial expansion jutsu"
a massive punch then sent Zaku across the room.
Zaku coughed and got up "proctor, I forefeit."
"the winner by forefeit is Akimichi Choji."
meanwhile in the kage's booth, Hiruzen squinted 'two oto nins forefeit after just one punch? I don't buy it, something is up.'
"up next is Hyūga Hinata vs Temari."
the two got into position.
"hajime."
Temari pulled out her fan "sickle weasel"
a huge tornado was then sent towards the Hyūga heiress.
she quickly dodged it 'crap, wind release user, my bow is pointless.'
she then ran up to the blonde kunoichi.
Temari swung her fan at the byakugan princess as soon as she was within range.
Hinata was thrown back, but she quickly got ran up to Temari.
Temari swung at the girl again, but this time, she rolled overto the left, dodging the attack.
she then channeled lightning through her body "kaiten"
Temari was thrown back. her hair now sticking up.
everyone laughed at the blonde's now messed up hair.
Gaara meanwhile took a picture.
Kankuro looked at his younger brother "you know she is going to kill you if she finds that."
Gaara grinned "I'll give you 5 for your silence."
"make it 10."
"deal."
Temari grew a tick mark "sickle weasel"
Hinata was unable to dodge this one.
Temari smirked "proctor call-"
"I'm not done yet."
Hinata then proceeded to land a barrage of punches on the suna kunoichi.
Temari after getting over the punches, retaliated with a barrage of hits from her fan.
the fight continued on like this.
eventually, Hinata had enough and ran up to the suna kunoichi.
"8 trigram, 64 palms"
"2 palms, 4 palms, 8 palms, 16 palms, 32 palms, 64 palms."
after all the attacks landed, the sand kunoichi fell unconscious.
"the winner by knockout, is Hyūga Hinata."
"WAY TO GO HINATA!"
the lavender eyed girl looked up to the blonde boy who said that.
she smiled, before falling over due to exhaustion.
medic nins then took the two kunoichis to get some recovery.
"up next is Akimichi Choji vs Aburame Shino."
"the winner by forefeit, is Aburame Shino."
"hey, good match, wanna get some BBQ later?"
Shino nodded "sounds nice."
meanwhile in the recovery room, a certain branch Hyūga member went into the Hyūga heiress' room.
"Neji?"
"Hinata-sama, I wish to apologize."
Hinata smiled "no need. I've already forgiven you."
Neji smiled at his cousin.
"up next is Rock Lee vs Uzumaki Naruto."
"YOSH, GUY-SENSEI!"
Guy looked down at his student.
"MAY I PLEASE GO ALL OUT AGAINST MY RIVAL?!" Lee asked.
Guy scratched his chin, before giving his answer.
with a smile and a thumbs up he proclaimed "YOU MAY LEE!"
"THANK YOU SO MUCH, GUY-SENSEI!"
upon hearing this, Kakashi narrowed his eye "well then, if Guy wants to play like that."
he then looked down at his blonde student "Naruto."
the blonde jinchūriki looked up at his sensei.
"the challenge is over, you may now use all of the bijū's abilities. also, go all out."
the blonde smiled and gave a understanding nod.
the two then got into position.
"MAY OUR MATCH SHINE BRIGHTLY!"
the blonde chuckled "whatever you say Lee, whatever you say."
"HAJIME!"
the two wasted no time, quickly taking off their weights.
everyone was confused on how a couple weights would change anything.
that was until the two dropped them, leaving a massive cloud of dust that covered them.
everyone gasped at how many the two were wearing.
the two waited for the clouds to clear, once they did, the two took their respective taijutsu stance.
it was then, a bunch of feathers started falling from the sky.
the two were caught off guard by this.
"huh?"
"what the?"
and that's all, leave a review telling me what you think.
either way, join us next time, as Konoha fights for its fucking life.
