33: Busy Brow's Jealousy: Lions Barrage Unleashed!
Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden, and Naruto would have his father's smarts while keeping his mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Ryurama Senju, Yuki Senju nee Miran, Raika Miran (Senju), & the White Tiger Summoning Contract (A/N: If there is already a White Tiger Summoning Contract…then please ignore the last part). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also, if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!
…My Line…
The screen ran through the names before coming to a stop on two.
Yoroi Akado Vs Sasuke Uchiha
'Didn't waste any time did they?' the Uchiha thought as he grabbed his shoulder.
Raika scoffed as she looked away with anger that they were allowing this.
'I couldn't ask for anything more,' Yoroi thought with a smirk.
'I guess, the quicker Uchiha fights then the quicker they can put seal that damn mark up,' the Miran thought.
Naruto glanced over his shoulder at the dark hair Genin in worry as many others all glanced at him.
...My Line...
"Alright now, those names that have been drawn, come forward?" Hayate asked as the two opponents walked up to face each other. "You have been chosen for the first match. Yoroi Akado and Sasuke Uchiha. Are there any abjection?"
"None here," Sasuke answered.
"No."
...My Line...
The greenette narrowed her eyes at the two.
'Well, I guess this is it,' she thought. 'There is nothing more to do then watch...' The green hair Genin glanced at the Hokage, who gave her a look. 'And wait.'
'You better win, Sasuke,' the Uzumaki thought. 'That is if you want to take me on.'
...My Line...
'Somethings wrong,' Ino thought. 'He's acting strangely.'
...My Line...
'Could it be the Curse Mark,' Kabuto's other teammate thought.
...My Line...
'Sasuke good luck,' thought Lee.
'Now we just sit back and see what happens,' the male Hyuuga thought.
...My Line...
The Uchiha's eyes widen a bit as paint shot through his body.
'The pain won't go away,' he thought.
'That curse mark giving you trouble,' the Akado thought in amusement.
"Huh?" the Gekko said. "Alright then, let's begin the first match." He gave a small cough. "Okay, everyone other the two opposing candidates will now clear the area and move to the upper level."
All the Genin, but Team 7 moved towards the stairs to the upper area.
"Hey, hey!" Naruto called out as the silver hair Jonin walked towards them. "Kakashi-Sensei!"
The hidden Senju Princess glared at him.
"Sasuke."
"Huh?"
"Don't use your Sharingan," the Hatake told him.
"So, you know about it," the Uchiha said.
"If that mark on your neck gets out of control, your life could be in danger," Kakashi informed him.
"I'm aware of that."
"Just to let you know, if it gets to that point, I'll have to step in and put a stop to the fight. Good luck."
Sasuke looked at him as the Jonin walked away with surprise.
'Stop the fight?' the Uchiha thought in shock. 'This thing...it seems to be responding to my chakra.' His mind went back to the training that his team and he did while the waited for the second exam to end only for the mark to act up again which had Naruto stepping in to put him to sleep. 'Every time, I use my chakra, this thing get's a little stronger. It gains a little more control over me.' He looked at his opponent. 'I've got to fight him without using my Sharingan. Even my own jutsus are off limits. Maybe I can make him laugh himself to death.'
...My Line...
Up in the stands, a Sound Jonin, who decided to stay and watch, smirked.
'The thing is Sasuke, Yoroi's unique skills are going to be disasters for you.'
...My Line...
'Whatever. Let's get on with this.'
...My Line...
All of the teams were watching the two opponents closely.
'Watch yourself, Sasuke,' Kakashi thought. 'Don't push it.
...My Line...
"Then if your ready," Hayate spoke up. "Let the match begin."
"Oh, I'm ready," Yoroi said as he placed his hand in a seal.
"So, am I," Sasuke agreed.
...My Line...
Raika narrowed her eyes as the Akado's right hand glowed with chakra while he reached into his pouch.
...My Line...
Yoroi threw shuriken at Sasuke, who used a kunai to block them, however, the Curse Mark acted up.
"Already?" he asked as he fell while his opponent dodged the returned shurikens.
The Uchiha looked up just in time to see Yoroi standing in front of him and when the other Genin moved to punch him, the dark hair Genin rolled out of the way before using his kunai to stop. Sasuke then used his feet kicked Yoroi's feet out from under him before locking his legs around his neck while gripping his arm in both hands.
...My Line...
"Hey!" Naruto yelled. "He got him!"
"Uchiha shouldn't have done that," Raika sighed.
"Huh?"
The other Konoha Genin all looked at her in confusion along with their Senseis.
"Just watch," the Miran told them as she pointed at the fight below.
...My Line...
"Really?" Yoroi asked as he turned his hand round and gripped the Uchiha's shirt with his chakra covering his hand.
'What's happening?' thought the Uchiha as Yoroi weakened Sasuke which allowed the older Genin to nail him with the back of his hand before standing up. 'All of my strength. Suddenly it's gone.'
Yoroi shot forward towards the Uchiha.
...My Line...
"Sasuke!" the Uzumaki called out.
...My Line...
Sasuke's eyes widen as he sat up only for Yoroi to grab him by his head to which he yelled out in shock and slight pain.
...My Line...
Kakashi's eye widen as the dark hair Genin got weaker while Naruto let out a gasp as he felt what Raika did from the get go.
"His Chakra," the blonde breathed. 'Sasuke...'
"Yeah."
...My Line...
"What the...my chakra...what are you doing?"
Yoroi laughed at the Uchiha's confusion.
"Your just noticing now?" the Akado asked.
Sasuke groaned as Yoroi wouldn't let him go.
"My chakra...your stealing it from me."
"You finally caught on, huh?"
...My Line...
'That's right Sasuke. He's draining your chakra. Yoroi has an extraordinary ninja art at his finger tips. He can absorb an opponent's spiritual and physical energy with the palm of his hand. And once the last drop of chakra has been drained from you, Sasuke, you'll have no other chose, but to rely upon the power of the Curse Mark.'
...My Line...
Sasuke cried out.
...My Line...
'Go on. Unleashed that delicious forbidden power. Set it free. It's the only chance you have at saving yourself.'
...My Line...
"Get off me!" Sasuke ordered as he kicked Yoroi off of him.
The two of them started to move, but only the Akado was able to stand.
"So, you still have some strength left, huh?" he asked. "Impressive for a guinea pig."
'Wow,' the Uchiha thought as he panted. 'That was close.'
"Don't worry little man," Yoroi said as he went back in. "I'll make it short and sweet." The older Genin attacked Sasuke, who dodged them, however, the Akado's thumb brushed again the dark hair Genin's hair which took some of his chakra away from him making the younger Genin to stumble. "What's the matter? Is that really the best you can do?"
Sasuke went for a kick only for Yoroi to dodge it.
'I don't have the speed to keep away from him,' thought the younger ninja. 'I don't have a chance at a close quarter fight. Need to think of something fast.'
The Akado laughed at the sight of the Uchiha.
...My Line...
'The Great Sasuke Uchiha,' thought Gaara. 'Is that all he's got?'
...My Line...
'Come on, Sasuke,' thought Naruto before he let out a sigh. "HEY SASUKE!" This made others to look at him. "WHAT THAT HECK WAS THAT, MAN? AND YOU CALL YOURSELF AN UCHIHA!" This made Sasuke to look back at his team. "YOUR GOING TO LET THIS GOON WALK ALL OVER! COME ON! STOP MESSING AROUND AND GET IT IN GEAR!"
...My Line...
The Uchiha's eyes rove over Konoha's side before landing on Lee.
'There all...' the dark hair Genin thought before his eyes widen. 'Wait! That's it!'
...My Line...
Hayate's eyes widen as he took note of the field.
...My Line...
"I'll teach you to turn your back on me!" Yoroi yelled as he rushed forward making Sasuke to look back at him. "Big mistake and your last!"
The Uchiha stated to dodge all the older ninjas attacks.
...My Line...
'Is this as far as he goes?' Hayate thought as everyone watched.
...My Line...
After dodging a bit longer, Sasuke smirked before he vanished.
"Huh? Where did he go?"
...My Line...
Lee, who noticed, looked shocked and a little hurt.
...My Line...
Sasuke reappeared under Yoroi while kicking him under his chin making him go flying into the air before he vanished again.
...My Line...
'That's my move!' Lee thought in shock.
'What the...'
...My Line...
Everyone was shocked at this as they all watched Sasuke make his move.
...My Line...
"Lee?" Raika asked as she walked over to him.
"Huh?"
Lee looked over to her only to see that she had an apologetic look on her face.
"I apologize for Uchiha's actions," the greenette said as she bowed a bit to him. "He shouldn't have stolen your move." She stood up straight again while glaring over her shoulders at the Hatake. "He shouldn't be stealing moves from his allies period."
"Thank you, Raika," the green wearing Genin thanked her with a soft smile making her to look at him. "But, you need not apologize for Sasuke's theft."
This made her smile at a bit before they both turned back to the fight.
...My Line...
"I'll admit it," the Uchiha said as he reappeared under Yoroi's back. "I kinda of borrowed that move."
...My Line...
The hidden Senju Princess scoffed at that while Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Borrowing?" the Uzumaki asked. "Sure."
"Whatever helps him sleep at night."
Kakashi sweatdropped as he knew that he needed to explain somethings to Sasuke before his other two student gang up on the Uchiha for theft of follow Leaf Ninja techniques.
...My Line...
"But, from here on out, it's all original," Sasuke informed him.
"Huh? The Dancing Leaf Shadow?"
"Now take this," the Uchiha said only for the Mark to react and start to spreed. "No! Not again! It keeps getting stronger and stronger!"
...My Line...
Both the hidden Senjus gripped the railings tightly though only Raika had a glare on her face.
...My Line...
"Get a hold of yourself, Uchiha!" the Miran ordered as she and Naruto held him down in of the tower's training rooms. "Get that damn mark under control or I'll make sure that you can never use chakra again!"
...My Line...
"WHAT THAT HECK WAS THAT, MAN? AND YOU CALL YOURSELF AN UCHIHA!"
...My Line...
'Shut up loser,' the Uchiha thought. 'Don't write me off yet.'
...My Line...
'Is this it?'
...My Line...
'No!' thought the Uchiha. 'I won't let this thing take over. No way!'
Using his well power alone, Sasuke forced the Curse Mark back.
...My Line...
'The Curse Mark receded?' thought Anko in shock.
...My Line...
"Here we go."
The Uchiha turned to go for a kick only for Yoroi to stop him.
"Hmph. Your no match against me!"
Sasuke turned to his other side to his opponents shock.
...My Line...
'Whose no match for whom?'
...My Line...
The dark hair Genin slammed his fist into Yoroi's face which sent towards the ground.
"Get back here!" Sasuke said as he nailed the older Genin in the chest with his fist. "I'm not done yet." The Uchiha then slammed his foot into Yoroi's stomach which slammed his opponent into the ground. "Lions Barrage!"
However, this move sent Sasuke skidding around the ground.
...My Line...
"Sasuke," Ino whispered in worry for the young Genin.
...My Line...
The Gekko walked up to Yoroi and looked him over.
'Well, this one's had it,' he thought before he looked over Sasuke, who was getting up. "I am declaring this match over. As the winner of this preliminary round, Sasuke Uchiha, advances to the finals."
...My Line...
This had smiles appearing on Naruto's and Ino's faces while Raika just kept a blank look.
"Way to go!"
...My Line...
Sasuke just panted before he started to fall backwards only for the silver hair Jonin to appear behind him and catch him.
"Hmm," he hummed. "Not bad." The Uchiha turned around to look at him with a smirk. "Funny, before the Lions Barrage, you technique was reminiscence of Gai's Taijutsu. You must have used your Sharingan to copy it when you fought with Rock Lee that time."
...My Line...
"You okay?!" the Uzumaki asked. "Hey, Sasuke, you won, but in such an uncool way! You've came out looking like you were the one, who got beat up!"
The blonde cackled in amusement.
...My Line...
"Idiot," the Uchiha said as he looked at the blonde. "Give me a break, you little...oh, well."
...My Line...
'So, he managed to not get anyone killed,' the Miran thought. 'Himself, included.' She let out a sigh. 'That's good.'
'I can't wait until it's my turn,' Naruto thought with a slight cackle.
However, Lee was looking at Sasuke with a blank look.
...My Line...
'Rock Lee,' the Uchiha thought. 'If I hadn't seen your moves up close when we went head to head this would have turned out badly.'
...My Line...
Sasuke went to block only for Lee to be able to get through his guard and kick him into the air.
...My Line...
The dark hair Genin let out a groan.
'Still, it's a technique that I don't want to use very often,' he thought.
...My Line...
'Amazing,' Lee thought. 'He only saw me do it once and he was able to copy it perfectly.'
...My Line...
"Sharingan!"
The Uchiha rushed towards Lee. The slightly older Genin got through his guard and kicked him into the air.
...My Line...
'So, that is your special ability,' Lee thought. 'You really are something, Sasuke. You just keep getting stronger all the time. You make me...almost...a little nervous.'
Gai looked at Lee just then.
'Impressive,' the Jonin thought. 'But, you can't expect to master high speed taijutsu and lotus movements just like that. And it takes more then Sharingan. It takes blood and sweat and brutal training that takes away your flesh. Even so, that last move of yours...hmph...He remembers me of you, Kakashi, when you were young.'
'Last year, Neji Hyuuga was the rookie to beat,' Tenten thought. 'This year it's Sasuke Uchiha. I wonder when we'll find out which one is stronger. Ha, ha, ha.'
...My Line...
'The kid is something else,' Kakashi thought. 'To have already developed his Sharingan to such a level. And to think we haven't seen his full Uchiha ability yet.'
...My Line...
'I still can't believe it,' Mitarashi thought. 'The way the Curse Mark receded as if he's gain control over it.'
...My Line...
'Oh, no,' Kankuro thought as Gaara started to shake. 'Not again.'
...My Line...
The Iwa ninjas just looked on as it was just two Tree Huggers in their opinion.
...My Line...
"Ha, ha, ha," Ino laughed. "I always knew that he'll be okay."
'This is really the end of the line for us,' Shikamaru thought.
"Man, I'm hungry."
[A/N: I'm sorry, but when is Choji not hungry?]
...My Line...
"Wow," Hinata breathed. "He was amazing."
"It wasn't anything that special."
...My Line...
'Magnificent,' the Sound Jonin thought as he licked his lips.
...My Line...
Two medic ninjas walked out with Yoroi on a stretcher while the third walked up to the student and teacher duo.
"Sasuke Uchiha," the medic spoke up. "Maybe you should come along to the infirmary, too, and let us treat your injuries."
"I think, that your out of your league with this one," Kakashi told him.
"Huh?"
"I'll look after him," the Hatake told him making the Uchiha told to look back as he knelt. "Okay, up you go. Your coming with me." The silver hair Jonin placed a hand on Sasuke's shoulders. "We've got to seal that Curse Mark."
"Before the preliminaries are over?" Sasuke asked in surprise. "I want to see, who gets to go onto the finals."
"Forget it," Kakashi stated as he stood up.
"But..."
"And don't even think of arguing," the Hatake went on. "If we leave any longer then, who knows, maybe it'll already be to late. I've already cut you enough slack as it is. Come on. Let's go."
...My Line...
His two teammates watched as the Uchiha and Kakashi walked out of the main training room.
"Do you think that Kakashi-Sensei will be able to seal that mark?" Naruto asked as he looked at the greenette.
"I hope so," the Miran answered. "But, if not then something needs to be done, Aniki."
"Huh?"
"We can't let Orochimaru get his hands on the Sharingan," she went on. "We'll have to destroy Sasuke's eyes and seal off his chakra if the worse happens."
The blonde narrowed his eyes at that before looking back at the doorway.
...My Line...
"Huh, okay then..." Hayate mumbled. "We'll proceed with the second match."
They all looked at screen as it cycled through the names before coming to stop on a new pair of names.
Akatsuchi vs. Shino Aburame
...My Line...
"Akatsuchi," the red hair Jonin whispered.
"I know Roshi-san," the Iwa ninja stated before he turned back to the field.
...My Line...
"Please step forward, you two?" the Gekko asked.
...My Line...
Shino went to walk down the stairs when his opponent raised his hand.
...My Line...
"I forfeit, Gekko-san!" Akatsuchi called out. "I won't be able to stand a chance against an Aburame as must of my techniques are Ninjutsu related."
...My Line...
Hayate coughed into his hand at that.
"Very well," he said. "Winner by forfeit and thus is moving onto the finals is Shino Aburame!"
...My Line...
Naruto blinked at that while Raika raised an eyebrow.
"Chunin," they both said at the same time.
"I won't be surprise if the girl is already a Chunin as well," the blonde stated.
"No doubt," the Miran agreed with a nod.
...My Line...
The Sound Jonin left after that.
...My Line...
"Okay," Kakashi said after he wrote the last part of the seal. "It'll be over quickly. You ready?" Sasuke gave a nod before the Hatake ran through hand signs quickly. "Curse Sealing!" The silver hair Jonin placed his hand over the Curse Mark before it light up and the Uchiha started to scream in pain as the words of the seal started to surround the mark. "There. Now, the next time that Curse Mark starts acting up the seal should keep it in check. But, remember..." The dark hair Genin looked behind. "This Curse Sealing jutsu is only as strong as you are. It drives it's power from the strength of your will. If that will ever weakens...if you ever begin to doubt yourself, the curse will be unleashed in all it's furry." At that Sasuke fainted. "Hmphed. Amazing. To tired to even argue."
"My, how you've grown," a familiar voice told Kakashi making his eye widen in shock. "To think that you have become strong enough to preform the Curse Sealing Jutsu."
The Hatake looked over his right shoulder.
"You..."
"Long time no see, Kakashi," Orochimaru greeted with a smirk.
"Orochimaru."
...My Line...
Suiren Uzumaki: To the review left by danj09290 from the last chapter: Thanks for understanding, but I am going to try and get my laptop fixed with my Income Tax Return. No promises though. Anyways, yes, Raika is going to beat the ever loving hell out of Ino while tearing her down as well...though *Cackles* I am not sure...*Continues to cackle*...about wearing her as a scarf. No, Naruto's fight is not going to come down to a fart as I have always hated that part...so, no fart finishers. The only one liner from Kakashi that I love truly. Thank you for the compliment, I am glade that you think the chapter and hope that you like this one.
