Naruto kept looking at everyone oddly, feeling like he had just seen them yesterday but for them it was months ago.

Tsunade smiled as she took the microphone away from Kakashi. "Let the tournament continue! Lee vs Naruto!"

Lee looked very disappointed at hearing Naruto's name as then Gaara walked over to chat with him.

"We may have not finished our battle before, but considering your up against a loser like Naruto. You will likely become chunin, as will I! So I purpose a battle between us, in secret after the tournament. What do you say?" Gaara asked, although he planned to actually kill Lee in that battle.

Lee smirked. "Yes! I will battle you to test my skills! Let's meet up outside the village after the contest." Lee said.

Gaara smirked. "Very well then."

Then Naruto and Lee took the stage.

Naruto smirked. "Hey, I didn't really train enough for this, but okay, let's fight bushy eye brows! Shadow Clone Jitsu!" Naruto called out his only attack other than well you know, the sexy jitsu.

Lee punched him hard in the face, knocking Naruto away so profoundly that Naruto's head had a big bump on it. "How did you know which one was the real me?" Naruto asked.

"Ha! Because your shoes are untied, Naruto." Lee said pointing at Naruto's untied left shoe.

Sasuke sighed. "Of course the fool would make such a big mistake when creating his clones."

Kakashi sighed. "You made a lot of mistakes too in your previous fight with Neji Hyƫga if I recall correctly."

Trunks chuckled. "And boy did that kid Neji beat the crap out of you!"

Sasuke looked angry. "Whatever! All I want now is to see Lee crack Naruto's skull open."

Naruto smirked as he got ready to make more clones after tying his shoe. "This time I won't lose, Lee!"

Lee smirked. "Naruto Uzumaki, I admire your courage, but it's time we end this match! Take this, wind lotus!" Lee shouted as he kicked Naruto into the air and right back down. Naruto was left unconscious.

"Lee becomes a chunin now!" Tsunade shouted holding up Lee's hand like a champion. "Next up Gaara vs Neji!" Tsunade called out for them.

Gaara smirked. "Finally a worthy opponent. Show me the power of your clan!"

To be continued.
