As the most anticipated match of the entire tournament went into preparation, an overzealous Naruto stood side by side with his sensei Yoruichi and fellow student Soi Fon at the snack bar.
"Thank you again for treating me to ramen Sensei," Naruto managed to spit out in between slurping on the rich, delicious broth. "It really hit the spot! I'm totally revved up to kick Sasuke's butt now!"
"That's the spirit Naruto!" Yoruichi responded as she wiped her mouth with a large napkin. "I want you to carry that attitude right to the winner's circle! Remember, you've been training hard, so I expect to see you use the abilities I taught you. This isn't sparring with me or Soi Fon, this is an actual battle. So remember it will be more difficult then it seemed in training. Sasuke's speed is quite impressive, so I doubt he'll allow you to just attack. Remember to use your head out there Naruto."
"Yes Yoruichi-sensei, I won't let you down!" Naruto exclaimed.
"You better not, or I'll really give you a beating in our next training session," Soi Fon threatened. "I want to see you at 200 percent out there! Not 100, 200!"
"If he give's me 200, I'll give him 1000 percent," a mysterious voice responded as the spiky blond haired soon to be Shinigami turned around to spot the Uchiha wonder Sasuke. "Just face it Naruto, you've already lost this tournament. Even the great Hyuga clan bowed down to the power of the Sharingan. Why would some loser dropout even stand a chance? Just because you got trained by the speed demon here doesn't even increase your chance of winning by an inch!"
"You little bastard, I ought to..." Soi Fon growled angrily as Yoruichi stood up from her chair, examining the Uchiha.
"So, you're Uchiha Sasuke, you're the younger brother of Uchiha Itachi," Yoruichi interrupted as Sasuke snickered in response. "Ah, the Sharingan is a powerful opponent. But speed can be your worst enemy..."
"Sure. the speed queen would make a comment like that," Sasuke responded. "One that doesn't possess Uchiha blood could never truly know the power of the Sharingan. You can only make an estimate, which can cost you your life in battle."
"You surely do carry yourself as an Uchiha, but do you really have a grasp on the Sharingan technique like you say that you do?" Yoruichi questioned. "Past of all your gloating, even you are unsure if you will be able to defeat Naruto."
"Now Captain, I'm sure my student will give quite the show," the lieutanant Sosuke Aizen entered the conversation abruptly. "Perception is a tricky foe, and I can guarantee you that with Sasuke, not is all that it seems. But I do agreed, Uzumaki Naruto is one of the most promising of the graduating class. His written grade is quite low, but his performance grade has been exceptional!"
"Naruto is going to cream that little punk, he won't lose to some snot nose kid!" Soi Fon roared. "He's lucky I wasn't in this tournament, I'd teach him a lesson in pain myself!"
"Soi Fon, I'll take care of him at the tournament," Naruto assurred his furious fellow student as Sasuke snickered once more. "I've got a new trick up my sleeve that'll take care of the Sharingan once and for all!"
"A new trick that can defeat the Sharingan?" Sasuke responded as a grin slithered across his lips. "Well, I can't wait to see what the number one knucklehead Shinigami has in store for me then. This ought to be more than a workout at least..."
"Come Sasuke, I think you've interrupted the Captain's meal enough," Aizen stated as he guided Sasuke from the snack bar. "I do hope to see a spectacular match from you two Naruto. Don't disappoint me now!"
"Don't worry, I swear I'll show everyone what I can do!" Naruto responded as he pointed his chopsticks at Aizen with a determined grin. "Believe it!"
Tournament Final: Uchiha Sasuke vs. Uzumaki Naruto
Naruto and Sasuke stood face to face, eye to eye. Neither said a word, as if the entire population around them didn't exist, only them. Neither flinched nor seemingly breathed as the announcer prepared to yell the start of the match. As the match began, Sasuke disappeared in an instant, along with Naruto. Both appeared at the middle of the arena, exchanging blows furiously. Neither could land a hit, each punch thrown followed up with either a kick or a combination. This continued on for a minute or so, before Naruto flash stepped to the side of the arena, Sasuke following suit. Sasuke's eyes remained unchanged, the Sharingan not been activated yet. Naruto noted this fact, knowing Sasuke was studying his fighting style before going all out. A futile effort, for Naruto was doing the same. As Soi Fon had told him as the two had studied the Sharingan earlier in the week, the way to devastate the Sharingan was to learn the opponent's fighting style. Master their weaknesses, learn their bind spot. With this, speed shall prevail. Learn where to strike where it hurts, before the opposite occurs. These were all taken into account as Naruto prepared to attack. Sasuke had his own technique: drive your opponent to frustration. Even the most skilled opponent could be worn out, with lack of stamina. Sasuke's stamina level was quite high, therefore he could survive a long duration. This worked in the frustration, which was caused by infuriating your opponent with hit to home attacks. They needed to be precise, no mistake. This could not be stresseed enough, for if Sasuke allowed himself to drop his guard for even a second, this plan could be foiled. Speed was not going to work, his opponent was potentially faster due to his training. But. where Naruto exceled in speed, Sasuke held in power. Power was his ace in the hole, combined with his already admirable speed, he would have no issue with this. Combined with the Sharingan, he could dodge all of Naruto's attacks, then find an opening to execute his own. As Sasuke prepared to attack, this is what went through his mind. Naruto flash stepped before Sasuke, almost at blinding speed, taking a swift kick to Sasuke's abdomen, which Sasuke managed to sway from in the nick of time. As he swayed from Naruto's kick, Naruto followed up the kick with a punch to Sasuke's chest, which Sasuke deflected by using his palm to force Naruto's fist to the side. As Sasuke did this, he countered with a uppercut to Naruto's jaw, which Naruto promptly evaded by flash stepping from the blow. As Naruto resurfaced at the edge of the arena, Sasuke quickly chanted a kido spell.
"Hado Number 4: Byakurai!" Sasuke roared as a concentrated bolt of lightning emerged from his index finger, which Naruto knew was almost unavoidable. Though he could easily flash step from the hado spell, it was the situation of the intensity of the attack. It was quite powerful, enough that even Sasuke possibly couldn't control it say Naruto dodged it. It would hit innocent bystanders, which was not something Naruto was going to willingly let occur. Naruto withstood the lightning at it coursed through his being, the wretching pain almost too much for the budding Shinigami to bare. As the lightning subsided, Sasuke appeared, almost as quick, before a slightly paralyzed Naruto. As Naruto turned to face him, Sasuke kneed the blond Shinigami in his chest, blood escaping from Naruto's mouth as this occurred. Naruto fought through the pain as he managed to flash step away, but his flash step was too slow. Sasuke managed to trace his flash step precisely, almost following the injured Naruto in the exact second he used the technique. As Naruto flash stepped to the middle of the arena, he was met by Sasuke, who bashed him directly in the jaw, which caused Naruto to slide across the arena floor. He was almost out of bounds, which meant Sasuke only had to throw the weakened Naruto out of the arena. But Naruto refused to let this occur, flash stepping from his position as soon as he witnessed Sasuke move an inch. Sasuke growled as he witnessed this, knowing the win wasn't going to be as easy as expected. He sighed, knowing it was time to use his ultimate technique to finish the match once and for all.
"...Sharingan..." Sasuke murmured as the technique was at last activated. Now Sasuke's vision was enhanced beyond a doubt, Naruto's speed meaning absolutely nothing. Sasuke knew his plan was working, but he needed to beat down the knucklehead Shinigami more. He had to push the boy over the edge, completely wear him out. It was working, Naruto peering at Sasuke from the side of the arena, still struggling to regain strength. Both of the Shinigami now had out their wooden swords, so now was the time to impress with their sword abilities. Sasuke flash stepped to Naruto's position, where Naruto had just begun to finally regain his strength. He turned in time to see Sasuke attack, which was stopped as Naruto used his sword to stop Sasuke's own. Sasuke and Naruto clashed with their swords, Sasuke beginning to chuckle as he overpowered the weakened Naruto. Sasuke stopped one of Naruto's attacks, then slammed his sword across Naruto's face, which caused him to topple backwards across the arena.
"Just give up loser, you're finished now," Sasuke stated as he stood before Naruto. "Your effort is completely futile, so I see no reason to finish this match. I can see every move you make as you make it, so it's not even funny anymore. Quit, before I teach you the true meaning of the word Sharingan."
"I'll never quit... I'll never lose to you Sasuke!" Naruto roared as he flash stepped behind Sasuke, bringing his sword down upon Sasuke's back. Sasuke simply sighed as he flash stepped from the attack, then flash stepped behind Naruto. He poked Naruto in the back with his wooden zanpakuto, which caused Naruto to blindly swing behind him. Sasuke flash stepped to the back of Naruto as he turned to swing, poking the Shinigami in the back again. As Naruto turned, he didn't swing this time, just glanced. He turned around the other way to be knocked back by a vicious blow from Sasuke's sword, Sasuke slamming the sword into Naruto's chest. He then began to viciously beat Naruto with the stick, hitting every point of his body without fail. Naruto tried to flash step, but the attacks were to vicious and fast. Sasuke finished the barrage by knocking Naruto across the arena once again, which caused Naruto tremendous pain.
"Damn, I can't cut it like this..." Naruto groaned as he managed to pull himself from the ground. "I'll need to use my "Sharingan Killer" technique huh...?" Sasuke did not allow Naruto a inch of space, flash stepping before the recovering Shinigami. This time Naruto was ready, Sasuke bringing down his sword on Naruto, who didn't try to avoid the blow. As Sasuke did this, the Naruto who was struck disappeared, only an afterimage. Sasuke could only gasp as his entire face was caved in by a punch from Naruto, who flash stepped before him. Sasuke held his face in pain as Naruto attacked with his sword, no one witnessing the attack as Naruto flash stepped behind Sasuke. He stood there gallantly as Sasuke fell to his knees, a long gash appearing across his chest. Naruto did not allow this to be the end, flash stepping behind the kneeling Sasuke. He then kicked the Uchiha in the back of his head, causing him to go across the arena. As Sasuke went flying because of Naruto's blow, Naruto followed up by flash stepping to the exact location Sasuke was going to land, kicking Sasuke up into the air. As Sasuke went up into the air, Naruto attacked him in the air with his sword several times before knocking down the wounded Uchiha into the ground. Naruto stood before the fallen Sasuke, proud of what occurred. But Sasuke was far from finished, he was just getting started in fact. Sasuke's eyes opened abruptly, startling everyone watching as he stood up, still smarting from Naruto's attack.
"No one has ever beat me in such a way, not even Zaraki..." Sasuke murmured as he held his sword up. "I'll defeat you even if it kills me..." Sasuke charged at Naruto, but it was different. Before he had attacked like an animal, but at least one with grace. This time it seemed as if someone had released the animal's chains, causing the animal to be wild, uncaged. It was unexpected, unknown how this could have occurred. Sasuke flash stepped as he ran at Naruto, appearing at the side of Naruto. Naruto looked to his side, dodging the first blow of Sasuke's sword. But the next was unexpected, Sasuke using pure force to push back Naruto, which forced him to break his guard. As this occurred, Sasuke used Hado Number 4: Byakura, sending it on course with Naruto's chest. Naruto took the attack, landing on the ground silently. As he laid there, a red aura spilled from his body, covering the entire boy like a blanket. Sasuke observed this with interest, not expecting such a feat to occur. Naruto let out a primal roar as he looked up at Sasuke, his eyes red as well now. Sasuke could only blink as he was sent across the arena with an unknown attack from Naruto, who used his new power to send some type of spiritual attack from his sword. Sasuke could not keep up with Naruto's new speed, which seemed to put his old speed to shame. As Sasuke realized he was near the edge, he prepared to flash step, but was scooped up by Naruto, who flash stepped before the Uchiha. Naruto wrenched his hand back as Sasuke's eyes widened in fear, knowing there was no way to avoid this blow. Naruto's fist connected with Sasuke's cheek, Naruto keeping his fist there as he and Sasuke collided into a wall out of bounds.
"That's it, Uzumaki Naruto is the winner of our tournament!" Kakashi exclaimed as Captain Yamamoto cleared his throat in response.
"Correction, Uchiha Sasuke is the winner of this tournament," Yamamoto stated as everyone gasped in response. "Uzumaki Naruto's foot touched the grass as he plowed Sasuke into the wall. This is an automatic out of bounds, meaning Sasuke had won before Naruto knocked him out of bounds."
"Wow... then I guess Uchiha Sasuke is the winner of out tournament then!" Kakashi corrected as Naruto collapsed to the ground. "We need a medic out here, now!"
"Well, how are you champ?" a voice asked as Sasuke's eyes opened. Sasuke sat up, in a hospital gown. Captain Retsu stood before him, looking down at his medical chart.
"You had quite the battle there, I'm more than impressed," Retsu commented as Sasuke looked down. "You'll be fine to leave soon, so just sit tight OK?" Sasuke fled from the room as Retsu announced this, the captain and her subordinates watching in shock. Sasuke continued to run until he bumped into Aizen, who looked at the boy with his usual smile.
"Sasuke, why are you in such a hurry?" Aizen asked as Sasuke struggled to catch his breath.
"I want it..." Sasuke murmured as he looked up at Aizen. "That Uzumaki kid... they might have said I won, but I lost... I must have the power. I want you to to the Hollofication process on me... I know I'll become stronger if you do!"
"You do know you might not survive?" Aizen responded as Sasuke nodded. "Fine, we'll get started tonight... Sasuke." Sasuke grinned as he looked at his own hands, which were worn out and scratched.
"I will have my vengance on both of them!" Sasuke roared as he laughed maniacally.
