====Let's Continue from the Beginning of Naruto and Gaara's Fight====
"Sabaku no Gara, jinchuuriki of the Ichibi no Shukaku, the sand spirit Shukaku is sealed inside of me," said Gaara.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko, the nine tailed demon fox, Kurama is sealed inside of me," said Naruto. Kurama grumbled in Naruto's minded about cute blonde gakis telling everyone her name. Everyone was shocked when both jinchuuriki introduced themselves in front of everyone present in the room.
Temari were widen with her sensei, Baki, "No way... that Uzumaki is actually a jinchuuriki..."
"He said it out loud... troublesome blond..." said Shikamaru.
"Kakashi what is jinchuuriki? What that dobe meant by the demon fox sealed inside of him?" asked Sasuke.
"I don't know..." Kakashi revealed his sharingan to watch the battle.
"Kakashi, you will not like the outcome if you ignore me..." threatened Sasuke.
"Shut up brat... the last thing you can do is whining in front of the council..." said Kakashi. Hiruzen didn't react on how Naruto freely said about his jinchuuriki status, but he was surprised no he couldn't come to believe that Naruto activated sage mode.
Gaara grinned maniacally, "Your presence is just making me feel alive Uzumaki... Show me your strength... Entertain me..."
Naruto noticed that Sasuke activated his sharingan to copy his jutsus and sighed, a ball of chakra appeared in his palm then wind chakra started to surround the sphere like a ring, "Fūton: Subarashī Rasen Ringu (Wind Release: Great Rasen Ring)," Naruto threw the jutsu towards Gaara, who dissolved into sand to let the jutsu pass. Naruto's jutsu missed Gaara but when it hit behind on the wall it blasted with an earthquake. Everyone was wide eyed after the shock died down the wall was gone without a trace like it was never there.
"So, something like this will happen if I throw an incomplete jutsu... Hmm," said Naruto.
"Really Naruto? You said it was an incomplete jutsu," said Haku.
"He really throws a S-ranked jutsu and says he never completed it," said Ino.
"Kushina-san really Naruto needs to participate in the chunin exams?" asked Kakashi, "I can foresee if Naruto defeats Gaara then he will win the whole things."
"The sage mode surprised me also, but he completed Rasengan adding an element which Minato and Jiraiya couldn't. This jutsu can take down a whole bijuu if it hit dead straight when it will be completed... Believe it..." Kushina grinned, "NARUTO SHOW THEM WHY YOU ARE THE LEGACY OF FLASH... RUN WILD WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!" shouted Kushina.
"It's your bad day Gaara..." Naruto took out a bunch of tri-pronged kunai from his pouch and scattered them.
"YES... YES... SHOW ME EVERYTHING UZUMAKI..." Gaara shot a blast of sand towards Naruto, "Suna Tsunami (Sand Tsunami)."
Naruto made a single hand seal and sucked as much air as he could then blew out a large tornado of wind to blow out the sand, he made another series of hand seals, "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)." Gaara's sand automatically shielded himself and crossing his arms he stood waiting for Naruto's next attack.
Naruto took out another Hiraishin kunai and lunged at Gaara while electric currents ran through his body, "Raiton: Furasshusuteppu (Lightning Release: Flash Step)." Naruto appeared from everywhere attacking him with his kunai, but his sand reached at the last moment and able to save him.
====Meanwhile====
"He used the Furasshusuteppu (Flash Step) without any head seals... impressive... very impressive... I can barely keep his pace with my sharingan..." said Kakashi.
"Those are Hiraishin kunai... I can recognize then from anywhere... Naruto is using Hiraishin," said Kurenai.
"No... He isn't using Hiraishin for now... it's his ninjutsu... he can make his organs work faster than a normal person can do..." explained Asuma.
"But if someone forcefully overuse their inner organs then they will shorten their lives..." Guy said.
Kushina intervened there, "A normal person maybe... but Naruto has the Kyuubi residing inside of him... every bijuu has powers that they give to their jinchuuriki. The Ichibi gives the ability to control sand, the Nibi gives the ability to control blue fire, the Sanbi gives the ability to grow coral from any body part and absolute control over the water affinity, the Yonbi gives control over lava, the Gobi gives control over vapor, the Rokubi gives control over acid and the ability to float using bubbles, Nanaobi gives control over bugs and wings that the jinchuuriki can make appear and disappear, the Hachi gives super strength and absolute control over the lightning affinity, the Kyuubi as the healing factor, is said to give the jinchuuriki storm release, and absolute control over wind affinity. Naruto can use the jutsu freely because of this trait."
"Naruto is a youthful genius," said Guy. Naruto kept lunging aimlessly over the arena with Gaara attacking from time to time.
"Suna-Sō (Sand Burial)," Gaara's sand flew over the arena and Naruto's movements got restricted because of the sand, it took a few minutes to catch Naruto hopping from wall to wall and only Naruto's head is no seen, "Now die," Gaara made a fist and the sand around tighten to crush him in it.
Naruto teleported to a kunai to save himself, "You're slow."
Gaara got slightly irritated that Naruto evaded his jutsu but his sand changed into a spear and shot towards Naruto. Naruto narrowed his eyes and threw a kunai towards gaara teleport to another kunai. Gaara's sand didn't react to the kunai because it was missing him, but his eyes were widened when Naruto appeared on that kunai. Naruto created a Rasengan knowing his defense isn't faster than Gaara and slammed the Rasengan in Gaara's face.
"ARRRGHHHH!" Gaara screamed in pain and crashed back into a wall with blood leaking down from his lips.
Naruto made another set of hand seal, "Fūton: Kazakiri (Wind Release: Wind Cutter)," sharp wind coated his hand like Kakashi with his Raiton: Raikiri (Lightning Release: Lightning Cutter) and rushed to Gaara, who was still dazed by the Rasengan and before he could retaliate he got cuts from the wind cutters as he slashed him though because of his Sunanoyoroi (Sand Armor) the cuts were not too deep. His sand came this time grabbing Naruto slamming another wall real fast.
====Back To the Audience====
"No way he hit Gaara... not only he hit Gaara but spilled his blood..." Temari shivered thing if Gaara would release the bijuu there or not.
"We're dead... we're really dead now..." Kankuro just stood up slightly overcoming his chakra exhaustion.
"Now that's a fucking fight after that weirdo and Kimimaro's fight..." Tayuya said.
Sai was silent for the whole time now opened his mouth, "No wonder Uzumaki Naruto achieved the ninja guardian title by his strength and brain not by whining about some clan name... Am I right dickless?" Sasuke turned to Sai and glared daggers at him, but this had no effect on Sai.
"Damn this fight is proving too painful though I feel a very little pain due to my sage mod... come on Gaara... SHOW ME, SHOW E THE POWER OF SHUKAKU! SHOW ME HOW BADLY YOU WANT TO KILL ME, SHOW YOUR AND SHUKAKU'S BLOODLUST," Naruto shouted with a large grin.
Gaara touched his lips and found blood, "BLOOD! MY BLOOD! YOU SPILLED MY BLOOD... I'LL KILL YOU UZUMAKI!" Gaara released a blast of chakra and covered himself into sand.
"THAT'S IT... UNLEASH SHUKAKU!" Naruto went on to four and his whisker marks grew darker, and his pupils had vertical slits with sage mode, red chakra surrounded him, and two tails came out from his back and released a blast of chakra same as Gaara's.
"Both of them... Both of them are psychopath..." Kankuro shivered as the overwhelming chakra fighting each other for dominance.
"Gaara is in danger," said Baki.
"This is intense..." Nier swallowed the two jinchuuriki.
"I hope they don't loss control here..." Kushina was ready with her Mokuton (Wood Release) if they lose their control, she will have to subdue them.
"COMAE OUT FROM THAT SHELL GAARA," Naruto launched himself towards Gaara's shell and kicked it taking a good amount of sand fell down. When the sand fell down everyone saw Gaara's right hand transformed with his face's right side.
"UZUMAKI..." Gaara's Shukaku hand goes for a punch towards Naruto, who gathered redder chakra to his palm and punched back Gaara's fist. The ground beneath them cracked and he pushed more chakra to overpower Naruto to slam him back on a wall.
"YESSS!" Naruto stood back and started to teleport between his kunai in blinding speed with barrages of punch and kicks on Gaara, who growled in pain and Shukaku took over his back and legs with its tail came out. He felt pain from Naruto's attacks, but he couldn't see anyone in the field except him.
"He is invisible..." Sasuke blurted out in shock not able to see Naruto with his sharingan.
"Naruto is jumping over his Hiraishin kunai very fast that we can't even see him..." said Kakashi.
"Do this jutsu has some weakness?" asked Sasuke.
"This jutsu will be weakened when you can guess when the user will jump on to which kunai, though I know Minato-sensei never got that weakness so let's see if Naruto can overcome that weakness," said Kakashi.
"ARRGHH... DIE... DIE... DIE... Suna Tsunami (Sand Tsunami) ..." Gaara yelled sadistically, more sand came out from the ground covering the whole ground, "Kyodaina Suna no Maisō (Giant Sand Burial)," he slammed his hands on the sand compressing them.
"ARRRGHHHH," when Naruto landed on one of his kunai his legs trapped in the sand crushing both of his legs flesh, bones muscles and he fell down.
"DIE UZUMAKI!" Gaara's Shukaku arm slammed on Naruto very hard and continuously pounded him on ground. Though Naruto's chakra cloak with sage mode was healing and easing the pain coming on him it was still much for him. He tried to teleport before the sand arm pond him for the 12th time and he succeeded.
Gaara looked upwards and found Naruto was sticking to the ceiling by his hands, "Suna Shuriken (Sand Shuriken)," Gaara created some shuriken to throw them on Naruto.
Naruto inwardly cursed gaara that his sand covered all of his Hiraishin kunai and with risk he jumped to the kunai on the sand, blood rushed out from his body as many sand spears impaled him. Gaara made spears come out from his sand everywhere and Naruto landed on them as one impaled his right lung, on in his left shoulder, two in his gut, and one in his right thigh.
"Damn it... my senjutsu chakra is fading..." like Naruto said the horizontal bars from his pupils disappeared.
"UZUMAKI, YOU ENTERTAINED ME AND PROVED MY EXISTENCE... NOW FINISH IT WITH YOUR DEATH!" Gaara made a giant fist of sand to grab Naruto before smashing him on ground harshly. Naruto wanted to teleport away from his grasp, but the pain was taking over his body. He knew Kuram's chakra could heal his wounds, but it can't suppress the pain.
"Suna-Sō (Sand Burial)," this time Gaara crushed Naruto's hip bones to dust before grabbing his hands also crushing them.
"DAMNIT... LEAVE ME..." Naruto blasted off the sand with Kurama's chakra with another tail coming out now.
====Meanwhile====
"No way... how can he is still standing... all of his bones form his hip is crushed into dust..." Neji said seeing it with his Byakugan, "No... he isn't floating in the chakra..."
"Kushina-san please stop the match... even with the Kyuubi's chakra how that boy is crushing his bones Naruto won't survive...," said Kurenai.
"Yes... Please... Stop the match... Mother..." Haku begged.
"No," said Kushina, "My son's ambitions are too big to get crushed here in some mere chunin exams..."
"This match really needed to stop now... Naruto's arms are crushed... he can't even do hand seals now..." Nier said.
"I'm... I'm... far from finished..." Naruto's arms moved for hand seals for Kage Bushins (Shadow Clones) and created 4 healthy clones.
"How can he move his arms? Neji?" Guy turned to his student.
"His arms are damaged... it is the red chakra moving his body now..." Neji said.
"Crush his head and kill his immediately... don't waste time... kill him already..." Sasuke said and earned everyone's glare though he had a dark smirk only focused on Naruto, "I have enjoyed my time seeing him in pain though I couldn't inflict them... but kill him as soon as possible."
"I'm not going to die you Uchiha prick," Naruto's Kage Bushins (Shadow Clones) made a single hand seal before spitting a large tornado of wind to clear up the sand. Everyone used chakra to stick to the ground as the tornado blew the roof taking the sand out.
"It will be the end..." His Bushins (Clones) grabbed him and prepared the nest jutsu.
"DIE!" Gaara sent his sand to capture and finish Naruto completely, but Naruto flew high from tower using a Fūton (Wind Release). He is already transformed into a mini Shukaku and just need to use the last jutsu to unleash the bijuu and he was about to use that until something bright was coming down.
"Kyodai Rasengan (Giant Spiraling Sphere) ..." Naruto was falling down with a giant Rasengan 10 times larger than him and can blow up the whole battlefield.
"DIE!" Gaara screamed and sent sand to upwards.
"Fūton: Rasen Ringu (Wind Release: Rasen Ring)," one of Naruto's chakra tails threw Rasen Ringu (Rasen Ring) which was very little compared to his first one.
The Rasen Ringu (Rasen Ring) pierced through the Sunanoyoroi (Sand Armor) with a small blast. Gaara feel sown on his back watching helplessly the giant Rasengan coming towards him. In the meantime, the Rasengan's size compressed, and it became a bit larger than normal Rasengan though its color changed into black and blue.
"I win..." it was all Naruto said before dropping on Gaara with the Bijuudama Rasengan (Tailed Beast Bomb Spiraling Sphere) causing another big blast with an earthquake. After the blast died down and the dust cleared everyone found a big crater with Gaara all bloodily lying unconscious. Everyone's eyes shifted at a wall where Naruto was barely keeping his chakra cloak now all the tails are gone.
"Gaara no Sabaku is unable to continue... Uzumaki Naruto qualifies for the finals..." said Genma.
Naruto weakly smirked closing his eyes falling forwards. Though before Naruto could fall Kushina shunshinned in front of him and hugged him to prevent him from falling.
"Sorry but you are forbidden to fall down," Kushina carried her unconscious son to the infirmary.
Naruto's will be hard that he fought with that much broken bones and pain," said Haku, "Like he said that he would never give up until the very end."
"If genins are troublesome like them then what the chunin and jonin will be," said Shikamaru.
Sasuke grunted in annoyance that Naruto still lived, and he couldn't do anything to kill with his Kaa-san and team around. Though he smirked knowing Naruto lost his hands and legs so he could never be a shinobi again, "The dobe got crippled and his shinobi career is over."
"I still don't count out that unpredictable kid now..." Kakashi gave an eye smile to Sasuke to annoy him more.
====At The Infirmary====
Tsunade knew she was having a bad day when she agreed to sure those genins after their matches and she regretted it. Her first two patients were in critical condition though she could save them, but she never thought some genin at peace time could do that. Tsunade's next patient was someone she didn't want to perform a surgery by herself, she hated the bubblegum princess for many reasons. Though she performed the surgery because of her doctor's morals then it was the Inuzuka buy whom the Uchiha wanted to kill.
Then she realized the 3 Oto genins were her old teammate Orochimaru's subordinates, she didn't like the sannin and his ways, but he was a genius which she respected. Then the Uzumaki and the Suna jinchuuriki cam, the Suna jinchuuriki's skull was cracked and ribcage was broken for Naruto's last attack and the said blonde is dead if he didn't have the fox. After a diagnosis she confirmed that Naruto's injuries were out if her hands and only the Kyuubi could heal him.
"Tsunade-sama can't we do something about Naruto-kun?" asked Shizune.
"Sorry Shizune but I can't fix this much of injures... only a miracle can..." said Tsunade.
"But you can do miraculous surgeries Tsunade-sama," said Shizune.
"I know Shizune but it's impossible to do now... he can live because of Kyuubi but we can't restore what he lost. If a leg or a hand, then we could try but it's his whole lower body and both of his arms," said Tsunade.
"I can help if you work with me to save the jinchuuriki," said a voice.
Tsunade eyes went to the new voice and found the Oto jonin sensei, "And who are you might be?"
"I am hurt Tsunade that you can't recognize your old friend..." said the jonin in a playfully hurt tone.
Tsunade's eyes were widened when the newcomer transformed into a long-haired pale skinned man with a snake like predatory grin, "Orochimaru," she went into her fighting stance and was ready to punch to hell of disturbing her grandfather's grave, "I should have guessed you would be here since your subordinates are here..."
"If you want to stop me then the boy would never be able to sit again and being a ninja is so far," said Orochimaru, "I'm here to merely help you to treat the jinchuuriki and I have nothing to do here."
"Live I would believe you traitor," Tsunade lunged at Orochimaru with her fist. Orochimaru sighed and was ready to counter his old teammate but between them some smoke appeared.
Tsunade was shocked when Jiraiya came out from the smoke and stopped her fist seriously, "JIRAIYA WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"I know what I'm doing Tsunade... You can trust Orochimaru," said Jiraiya, "Believe me and go treat Naruto."
"You should be last person telling me to believe him," said Tsunade.
"I know why I'm saying this... I maybe a super pervert but I take my job seriously as a spymaster after Orochimaru was gone," said Jiraiya.
"At least you learned to use your baka Jiraiya," said Orochimaru.
"I have move brain cells than you baka Orochi... or do you want me to pound you into the ground to prove it?" questioned Jiraiya.
"Yeah, you gave me enough proof all those years ago," said Orochimaru.
Tsunade was at a loss when Jiraiya and Orochimaru started a conversation like their old genin days and frowned, "Okay let's do it fast."
====At The Arena====
The next match is already announced by Genma which was Team Kushina's last member Yuki Haku vs. Team's 7 last member, Sai. The hole Naruto made was covered by a strong Doton: Doryūheki (Earth Release: Mud Wall) with Pakkun's face seen there showing who produced the wall. Though the wall wasn't new when you could see the floor is now coated with a thick sheet of ice. Haku could make ice due to his Kekkei Genkai but couldn't produce water without a water source, so the ice surface was his water source for the future. He kept attacking Sai with Kubikiribōchō and the ink user dodged them, but his strong attacks were taking out chunks of Haku's ice to melt them faster.
"You're as useless as Sakura if you can't hit me, dickless," said Sai.
"Yeah... everyone is a dickless except you..." said Haku.
"Seriously you have one. I thought you were a girl..." said Sai.
"Get some glasses then... Fūton: Kūki Endan (Wind Release: Air Bullets)," with the necessary hand seals, Haku shot some compressed air bullets towards Sai, who drew some ink mice to defend him from the compressed air, Haku continued his onslaught, "I don't have enough time... Hyōton: Hyōsō (Ice Release: Ice Spears)," with a small earthquake the battlefield was covered with giant ice spears. Haku sensed Sai wasn't impaled by his spears and his chakra signature was detecting like he was flying.
Like Haku sensed Sai was riding on a ink bird looking at Haku, "The Yuki is stronger than I predicted... what should be he weakness?" Sai said to himself.
"Fūton: Kūki Endan (Wind Release: Air Bullets)," Haku shot another series of air bullets to the ink bird.
Sai jumped and created another bird when his previous one was destroyed. He was surprised when Haku suddenly attacked him with his blade when he was drawing. Haku surprise attack didn't last long courtesy of an ink lion grabbed him in his mouth.
Haku found his body was immobilized when the lion's ink transferred on his skin, "Fuinjutsu!"
"Very right... now you lose..." Sai pointed his tanto to Haku's chest.
"Oh, are you sure?" asked Haku. Sai looked back with the corner of his eyes to see Haku was standing behind him with Kubikiribōchō touching his back. Sai then looked in front to see the 'Haku' turn into an ice statue.
"You should surrender no Sai," Haku pressed his blade in Sai's back to draw blood.
Sai put his hands up, "I surrender... I have a brain unlike the other two members in Team 7 and knows what to do where."
"That's why I didn't give you some nasty scar even if you are annoying in your own style," Haku retreated his blade from Sai's back.
"Sai surrendered... Yuki Haku qualifies for the finals," said Genma.
