Chapter: 1
The arena was dark. Pitch black.
"Ladies and gentlemen, can you please welcome in the challenger, weighing in at 160 lbs, fighting from Hi no Kuni, with a record of 15-1-0, with 13 of his fights being won by way of knockout, he's as fast as lightning with his feet and faster than his hands! Introducing the nine tailed beast: Naruto Uzumaki!"
And after the announcement, orange flames erupted in the arena, illuminating the darkness and showing the silhouette of a fox. There were sparks that lit the arena and showed a man, with a fox mask on his head with a black cloak covering his body.
Screams sounded out through the arena.
The fox mask wearing man walked down the aisle towards the ring. He walked with an aura of arrogance and mischief. When he reached the ring, he squatted before shooting up and over the ropes, landing on one knee and a glove on the canvas. He started running to each side of the ring, bouncing off the ropes to gain speed.
"Kid! Save your energy!" A man with long white hair shouted. The fox man stopped and leaned over the ropes to his coach.
"Don't worry, old man. I've got this!" The boxer said and continued showing off, using the ropes as surfaces to flip off of. He then took his cloak off, showing off an athletic body with a few tattoos near his left rib, and some on his back and forearm. He then pulled the mask off, showing everyone his handsome face, sharp jaw like, sharp blue eyes and long blonde hair that was tied back into a tight bun with a few strands falling out of the knot. He was tan from top to bottom, and had black and orange trunks, as well as red gloves.
"Coming to the ring, weighing in at 154 lbs, with a record of 20 wins, two losses, and 18 wins coming in by knockout! He strikes fear into the hearts of fighters who come against him! And when he sees red, you know you're death as a mother fucker!" A black man with sunglasses and blonde hair shouted into a mic, he got cheers from the crowd. "He hails from Kaminari no Kuni! Introducing Black-Bolt: Darui!" The announcer screamed over the mic, sticking his tongue out and wagging it all about, cringing the men beside him who punched him over.
"Be professional Bee!" The man with identical skin and hair, minus the sunglasses.
Three people came out from behind the curtain at the front of the arena, one was a male with white hair and black skin, the other was a girl with red hair and was also black. The last was the fighter, standing at a tall 6'1 with strong muscles and wore black trunks with a white one-strap vest and black boxing gloves to compliment his trunks. He had blonde spiky hair that covered one eye.
"Hey boss, what if you don't beat him? And if you don't beat him then he'll probably ask to challenge the Raikage!" The boy with white hair said worriedly and the girl punched him in the head, letting a ringing sound go off in the boys head.
"Omoi, stop being so paranoid! Raikage is the best boxer in our country, and he's a heavy-weight. This guy is only a super welterweight, he may be fast and stuff, but his punches won't put a dent in the big man!" Karui, the girl said with confidence, this kinda put a smile on Omoi's face, until it paled again.
"But what if they have an exhibition match?! That means there is no weight limit as long as both fighters agree to it! And if this guys as fast as they say he is, then he'd be able to evade the big guys' attacks and counter, he could win by points!" Omoi said and got punched once more.
"Stop being paranoid!- Oh wait, actually you could be right." Karui said, as they made it to the ring. Omoi and Karui jumped onto the canvas and opened the ropes up for Darui to slip through. Darui moved around the ring to get used to it, he then walked over to his corner. Karui was his cut man and Darui was his assistant-coach, his actual coach was one of the announcers.
A man with a white dress shirt, black slacks and dress shoes waved the two fighters over. Both came over, Darui looked at the shorter fighter with boredom.
"What are you looking at me like that for?!" Naruto asked annoyedly while the referee told them the rules.
"I gave you the rules in the dressing rooms. Obey my commands at all times, and protect yourself and all times. Any questions from the red corner?" Naruto shook his head, his coach was massaging his neck. "Any questions from the blue corner?" Darui shook his head and the ref nodded. "Touch 'em up and be ready on seconds out!" Both fighters walked back to their corners, keeping eye contact all the way before Naruto's coach pulled him aside and slapped his face.
"Get your head in the game, boy! This is serious, your first title fight. Don't take it lightly!" The man shouted in the blondes ear. The blonde waved his concerns away with his gloves.
"Don't worry Jiraiya. I'm gonna school this guy, I got speed, remember that!" Naruto stated with arrogance and jumped into his stance, an orthodox with his lead hand low and right hand covering his chin. He had a toothy grin while Jiraiya put his mouth guard in.
"Speeds not everything! Use your brain!" Jiraiya said, poking Naruto's temple. Naruto begrudgingly nodded and mocked him in a nagging voice.
The bells rang and Naruto used his signature shuffle to close distance. Once reaching Darui, he threw a straight right to the title holder's face, Darui slipped the punch, and pivoted out of the way of a hook. He threw a few fast jabs that missed Naruto.
"That was poor." Naruto said with a mocking grin. He then threw seven flicker jabs, one broke through Darui's defence while he parried and slipped the other six.
"There it is! Naruto's own flicker jab! It is said that he can round up to seven flicker jabs in one breath!" Bee shouted in the mic.
Darui's eyes narrowed, he then said in his mind. 'He's fast…' He rubbed his nose and saw the sign of blood. 'And accurate it seems.' He then went on the offence.
Naruto began dancing around the ring, he circled Darui, throwing jabs before coming in close with a shovel-hook to the body, following up with a hook with a step back.
"You're a strong one." Naruto said, he then bounced on the balls of his feet and stepped from side-to-side before throwing a hook to Darui's head. Darui's eyes squinted before he threw a straight left, and watched Naruto's eyes go white before he fell onto his ass.
"HE GOT HIM!" Bee screamed into the mic, the crowd all shouted and cheered for Black-Bolt.
The ref then came to Naruto's side, counting from one to seven, and Naruto stood up, a little rocky though. The ref made him walk to his corner where he looked back at Jiraiya who shook his head in disappointment. Naruto then got a flash of deja vu, the silhouette of a woman leaving while shaking her head. She had her hair styled in a high ponytail.
Naruto's eyes darkened, replacing the light blue eyes with dark navy.
"Are you ok!?" Naruto nodded with his chin tucked. "Are you sure?! BOX!" Naruto then jumped into a new stance, a high guard mixed with an outstretched hand to cover the opponents vision.
Darui threw a jab that Naruto evaded and countered with a short uppercut underneath the jab.
"YES!" Jiraiya shouted, he clapped his hands hard.
Naruto rolled a hook and followed up with a left hook to the body that made Darui double over, and then Naruto threw an uppercut to his chin, throwing his head back. Darui pushed the blonde out of his zone, but the blonde came straight back, and Darui quickly threw a straight left to Naruto that just grazed him and stepped back towards the center of the ring.
'What was that?!' Naruto asked and glanced at Jiraiya who shrugged his shoulders. Naruto began shuffling around Darui, leaving afterimages of himself going in a continuous circle.
"Boss! Dip-cross 10 o'clock!" Omoi shouted and Darui dipped down till his knee just grazed the canvas before throwing a cross to his left, cutting Naruto on his cheek, the blonde grunted.
"Damn, that was fast…" Jiraiya stated. He then saw something. "NARUTO! SWITCH!" Jiraiya shouted and Naruto did so, suddenly Darui's eyes widened, he couldn't see the blonde anymore.
"Omoi! WHERE IS HE?!" Darui asked, before Omoi could tell him Naruto threw a sloppy haymaker to his jaw, Darui fell to the canvas and felt his heart rate increase. The ref counted from one to nine before Darui quickly stood up and stumbled to the corner.
Jiraiya smirked. 'So he's blind in that left eye. That's why he's a southpaw.' When Naruto was back in his neutral corner, Jiraiya pulled his glove down.
"Kid, he's blind in his left eye. So if you use southpaw, you'll be out of his line of vision." Jiraiya said confidently. Naruto looked at him, before shaking his head.
"No, I'm gonna fight him fairly." Naruto said, and then he closed his right eye. Jiraiya growled.
"Huh?! You have a chance to win, and you want to throw it away just so you don't seem like a coward?!" Jiraiya asked angrily. Naruto nodded.
"Exactly. My dad died in the ring. So I'm not gonna sully his name by using someone's weakness just to win." Naruto said, his statement got Jiraiya to smirk in defeat.
"You two look alike, but you're like your mother." Jiraiya said, and then the bell signalled for the two to continue boxing.
Naruto used his shuffle to shuffle around the ring. Darui moved around cautiously, making sure to keep the blonde in his line of vision. Naruto changed courses straight for Darui, aiming low to his stomach, before coming back up with a right hook to Darui's face that was blocked.
Naruto then stepped back from a jab and then slipped a cross before landing a nasty body shot and rolling a left hook. Naruto struck him with three more lightning fast jabs, but he got caught with a sweeping left hook that he couldn't see.
"Wait- What is this!? Naruto seems to be complimenting Darui by closing his right eye! Keeping them on steady ground! What's gotten into that blonde?!" Bee shouted and the crowd cheered for the good sportsmanship.
Naruto then lowered his lead hand, and Darui did as well. They then entered the pocket and began peppering each other with jabs that were equal in speed. Neither getting the upper hand. Naruto aimed for a low jab that Darui parried with his elbow, forcing the blonde downwards and threw a straight left to the blonde's head that'll surely knock him out.
'Checkmate.' The Raikage at the commentary area said with a smirk, remembering when he lost to a blonde boxer. Despite what the Raikage thought would happen, didn't happen. Naruto slipped the cross from Darui, slipping on the outside, he then threw a strong uppercut to Darui's chin that knocked his head back, he fell onto his back.
"BOSS! STAY DOWN! WAIT IT OUT!" Karui shouted. Darui, on one knee did so and when the count was reaching its climax he stood tall. When the ref let him go, Darui was hailed by a barrage of hooks and went from bottom to top.
'Left, right, left!' Naruto mentally shouted and threw three body shots to Darui's abdomen. He then rolled underneath a hook before ending the fight with an uppercut then a hook to knock him out.
Naruto cheered, jumping on the ropes and flipping off it. Bee, with the mic, ran to the blonde and held it in front of him. Naruto touched the cut on his cheek before scoffing; that was the first time he'd been put to the canvas and the first time he was cut. He then spat on the canvas, this was a disappointment in his eyes but a godsend in Jiraiya's.
Jiraiya jumped into the ring; slipping underneath the ropes. He threw one arm over the blondes moist, sweaty shoulders, laughing while doing so and grinned.
"Now we fucking move from here! Let's go party!" Jiraiya shouted, the mention of partying put a grin on Naruto's face but it fell when he recognized a silhouette of a shapely woman standing in the tunnel that led to his locker-room and the outside.
"What the-" Jiraiya and the rest of his team put Naruto's on their shoulders and began throwing his body in the air, celebrating their extra win.
Timeskip
Knock, knock, knock…
Naruto Uzumaki slept soundly for the first time since he started training for his fight. It was a six week notice and he had to wake up early for his morning runs, workouts and cold showers.
Naruto was dreaming about a family. Two boys on his sides with a baby girl sitting in his right arm while his other occupied a faceless pregnant woman's waist. He looked happy, beyond it. But the dinging knocks coming from his front door of his apartment was irritating him to no end. Groggily waking up, he threw the covers off his bed, luckily Jiraiya wasn't there, he was too busy passed out on the bar floor down in the lobby.
He walked threw the lounge and kitchen combo, it was surprisingly clean. He made it to the front door, he peeked through the peek-hole and saw no one there but the knocking didn't waver.
Knock, knock, knock!
Knock, knock, knock, knock!
Getting fed up, he flung the door open, he guessed it was Jiraiya with a woman at his side and he was ready to punch the man senseless. Even if he was his grandfather, he still was a pain in the ass most times when it wasn't boxing related.
"What?" Naruto said once the door was opened, he got into his stance, and was ready to clobber the man but didn't see him. He saw no one. Looking down the halls, left to right, he saw a woman, beautiful to the person's eyes. She had fair skin, light brown pupiless eyes, purple hair tied into a high ponytail, clear colored glasses and was dressed in a black dress with a white long sleeve overtop with white air forces; weird combination but she made it work.
Naruto's eyes widened to large portions, he took a step back before uttering a single phrase: "You again…?"
Chapter: 1 end.
Yeah, not my best work, but not my worst. This is going to be a five parter story, and after I'm done, I'll jump back onto the TAWOG X NARUTO CROSSOVER.
Atm, my life is kinda going south, and I want to write a story about it, Naruto being in the perspective of me, and Anko being in the perspective of my girlfriend. Something just told me to write a story about it.
