====Continuation From the Beginning of Shino and Kankuro's Match====
"Let's see what you can do," Kankuro threw some shuriken at Shino.
Shino just jumped left to dodge the shuriken and pointed his hands towards Kankuro, "I'll show you my techniques, why? Because I have to win this round," Shino's bugs came out from everywhere and surrounded Kankuro.
"What the! Bugs?" before Kankuro could retaliate the bugs surrounded him completely.
"Looks like it was an easy win," Shino stoically replied with Kiba shouting for him from the balcony, he waited for some moments to siphon of Kankuro's chakra then he noticed a purple gas coming out from inside his bugs, "Hijutsu: Dokugasu (Secret Technique: Poison Gas)," Shino immediately recalled his bugs to save them drone dying.
Shino's bugs started to fall down inhaling the Hijutsu: Dokugasu (Secret Technique: Poison Gas) and when the alive one returned everyone saw a pipe was coming out from Kankuro's mouth, "I killed some pest," Kankuro's 'body' parted in many limbs while the real Kankuro came out from the bandages, "Oh man you forced me to reveal my secret in the beginning."
"A puppet?" questioned a slightly surprised Shino.
"Ahh! My Karasu, you will pay for let your pests eating my puppet," shouted Kankuro, the parts of Karasu started to float around Shino who never lost his stoic face. When Shino saw a part attacked him with a blade, he immediately dodged it, but the other parts also attacked him mercilessly not giving him chances to stop.
"Give up bug boy if you don't want to melt by my poison or chopped into pieces by those blades," said Kankuro.
"Surrender? Sorry to disappoint you but I have much more aces in my sleeves," Shino dodged a volley of senbons before released his bugs to dispatch the puppet.
"Oi, oi not again," Kankuro tried to pull away Karasu, but the bugs captured them and cut the chakra threads.
"I cut of chakra, and they will soon siphon of the last chakra from you also," said Shino.
"Heh?" questioned Kankuro, "He doesn't know I can reattach my connection with Karasu," Kankuro again spread chakra threads to reconnect with the parts Shino's bugs left.
"It's time to end this," Shino was about to send more bugs but Kankuro threw some senbons by himself.
"You don't have enough information about me bug boy," Kankuro's fingers wiggled and Karasu's upper torso started to fly.
"Neither you have on me," Shino's body dissolved into bugs showing it was a clone.
"Naah! I got enough information in the fight," the upper torso of the puppet flew aimlessly before it parted into half. Everyone was impressed when Kankuro predicted where Shino would reform and the moment Shino reformed, he was trapped inside of Karasu.
"And my final attack," this poison gas leaked from there showing Kankuro launched poison gas on Shino. Though everyone gave a surprised look again when Karasu's parts detached and Kankuro fell forward breathing heavily. Shino was in the same condition when he came out from the puppet, his skin was burned, and he was coughing blood for the poison gas.
"Y-you siphoned o-of my chakra, w-when?" asked Kankuro.
Shino regained some of his strength when his bugs took out some poison from his body, "I left some bugs on you which were siphoning of your chakra slowly. When your reattached your chakra threads my bugs didn't cut them but started to suck your chakra rapidly which you didn't notice."
Seeing Kankuro wasn't getting up Genma called the match, "Kankuro is unable to continue. Aburame Shino is qualified for the finals."
"I need some treatment, the poison is still in my body," Shino said.
Genma nodded and called medics for Shino too, "Let's continue," Genma looked at the board when it stopped on Kina and Sasuke's names, "Inuzuka Kiba and Uchiha Sasuke come down."
"At last, I'm in action and I can beat the Uchiha ass first," said Kiba.
"Kiba-kun best of luck," said Hinata.
"Kiba don't underestimate your opponent," said Kurenai.
"Don't worry Kurenai-sensei, I won't disappoint you," with that Kiba jumped down.
Sasuke came down with a bored look showing his arrogance also, "It will be an easy win, the mutt doesn't even pose a challenge."
"Believe me you will gonna eat your own words," said Kiba.
"You should quit mutt, you're no challenge against an elite," said Sasuke.
"Pfft, your so-called elite clan is resting in peace under 10 feet of the ground," said Kiba.
"You're gonna pay for that mutt," said Sasuke.
"We'll see, Kiba smirked and attacked Sasuke immediately Genma started the battle.
Sasuke saw the incoming punch he sidestepped and grabbed Kiba's hand before slamming him on the ground. He quickly turned around knowing Akamaru was behind of him and extends his hand to grab the dog by its throat. Sasuke was surprised when Akamaru slipped his hand and used it like a spring to jump before pissing on his face.
Kiba already recovered from the attacked and jumped back at a distance, "Great job Akamaru."
Sasuke was infuriated when the dog pissed on his face, "I'LL KILL YOU MUTT!" Sasuke formed some hand seals, "I'm going have grilled dog at dinner, Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)."
Kiba took offence on Sasuke's words and panicked a little when Sasuke sent the large fireball towards Akamaru. Though his panic stopped when Akamaru simply dodged the fireball and he took a pill from his pocket, "Akamaru take this," he threw the pills towards his ninken (Ninja Dog) and swallowing it Akamaru's fur turned red from white, "Akamaru attack," Kiba and his partner attacked from both sides of Sasuke.
Sasuke dodged Kiba's kick before kicking him back which Kiba also dodged. He turned to Akamaru for a punch which the dog evaded and took Kiba's place while Kiba jumped over head to take Akamaru's previous position. Kiba got on all fours for a sweep Sasuke's feet, but he jumped making him smirk. The moment he jumped he as Akamaru in front of eye and unable to evade his nose that got broken due to the dog's headbutt. Seeing Sasuke stumbled and blood leaked from his nose, he quickly went behind Sasuke's back and ripped his blue T-shirt exposing nasty scars which he got in the forest.
"YOU SPILLED MY ELITE BLOOD YOU MUTT-," Sasuke couldn't finish when Akamaru came behind him and scratched his back, "ARRRGHHHH," Sasuke cried in pain because he got to distracted cursing the Inuzuka heir.
"Now some hot surprise," Kiba took some red balls and threw them on Sasuke's back and the balls exploded in red dust making Sasuke cry in pain, "That was hot chili pepper, and it will burn your wounds, me and Naruto used those balls once to prank some ANBU." Everyone winced to see the Uchiha crying due to pain though some were happy.
"It was nasty Kurenai," said Kakashi.
"Come on Kakashi, say it my student is intelligent," Kurenai smirked.
"That was satisfying," Shikamaru turned to Ino, "It would be good if Sakura was here to see this."
"Believe me it's good that she is not here, or we will all have an ear operation tonight," some saw Ino's point and nodded in agreement.
Sasuke got up glaring daggers at Kiba with his mature sharingan spinning wildly, "That's its mutt," Sasuke took out a kunai and charged at Kiba at his speed.
Kiba was taken by surprise when Sasuke charged at high chunin speed and slashed on his chest though he dodged not to get a deep scar, "Okay let's finish this," jumping behind he threw some smoke balls to cover Sasuke, "Ready Akamaru," Kiba gave Akamaru another pill before going into all four, "Jūjin Bunshin (Beast Human Clone)," Akamaru on his back turned into Kiba.
"HEY MUTT STOP USING THIS BOOBY TRICKS AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN!" Sasuke shouted from the smoke not sensing or seeing Kiba.
"Now I know why Naruto thinks you and Sakura are annoying, I really pity him because he was struck with you for couple of months. Though it doesn't matter more, Jūjin Taijutsu Ōgi: (Gatsūga Beast Human Body Technique Secret Art: Fang Passing Fang)," two rotating Kiba's charged at Sasuke following his scent. Taking the sharingan out due to smoke Sasuke got hit by several fangs of Kiba, he groaned in pain and tried to use a Katon (Fire Release) on them but before he could do the hand seals Kiba interrupted him with an attack.
"Give up Sasuke, you have no counter without your pink eyes seeing me," said Kiba.
Sasuke took out two explosive tags and managed to slap them on Kiba and Akamaru though he didn't know which one was real Kiba. In some seconds the explosives blasted both Kiba and Akamaru and stopped their jutsu with clearing the smoke. When the smoke cleared everyone saw both Kiba and his clone's outfit was burned with Sasuke's T-shirt ripped of completely because he was also caught in the explosion. Those three were on their knees while two Kiba were glaring at Sasuke whose sharingan was still active.
"I won't lose here," Kiba lunged at his clone, headbutting him down while his clone bit him and drew a bit of blood.
"Are you sure?" Sasuke smirked.
Kiba narrowed his eyes before feeling sharp pain from his nuts and the view before him changed and he found him on ground covering his balls, "Ge-genjutsu," Kiba gasped in pain and found Akamaru was down with some shuriken impaled him, "Aka-maru."
"Mutt," Sasuke got up and kicked Kiba's face left him unconscious, "Now it's time to kill you," he said before forming some hand seals.
Before Sasuke could finish the hand seals Genma declared the match for Sasuke who didn't stop with a mad grin. Before Sasuke could launch his fire jutsu Kakashi appeared in front of him placing a kunai on his throat.
"Sasuke don't do whatever you are trying to do," said Kakashi dangerously.
"The proctor said that the match will not over until the mutt dies," said Sasuke.
"The proctor already declared the match," said Kakashi.
"If you continue Uchiha Sasuke you will be banned from taking part from chunin exams, here my word is absolute," said Genma.
"Uchiha fire the jutsu, I would like to call you eternal genin," said Nier.
Sasuke glared at Nier, "Whore," Sasuke stopped his jutsu and turned around from Kiba, "Mark my words mutt someday I'll kill you, inside of Konoha or outside of Konoha." Everyone tensed at how the Uchiha threatened Kiba's life in front of the Hokage and his elite jonins.
Genma looked at the Hokage who nodded to continue the round without thinking what the Uchiha said, "Uchiha Sasuke, you should go to the infirmary for those nasty wounds."
"I want my treatment here," said Sasuke.
Genma shrugged and called a medic to treat Sasuke, for the next match he turned towards the board and Hyūga Neji and Yamanaka Ino names showed.
Ino was sweating bullets when she heard her name was against the Hyūga prodigy, "I think I can't win against him," Ino nervously said.
"Come on Ino, give it a try, it's not like you have to win to show your strength, sometimes holding back your opponent for a good amount of time will show your prowess," said Asuma. Ino nodded weakly before going down face Neji who was stoic knowing he would win.
Neji went down knowing fate will make him win, "Fate has already chosen me winner."
Ino frowned slightly thinking her opponent didn't even see her as a threat. That match was quick for everyone, Ino tried to make distance every time, but Neji blocked one of her chakra points. After getting 4 hits from Neji, in cried out in pain which distracted her, and Neji hit her with Hakke Rokujūyon Shō (Eight Trigram Sixty-Four Palms) to finish.
"Yamanaka Ino is unable to continue, Hyūga Neji qualified for the finals," Genma looked at the board for the next match and got Juugo and Choji's name, "Juugo and Akimichi Choji come down." Choji gulped audibly seeing he was against a monstrous looking Juugo.
"Choji if you win, I'll give you anything you can eat party," said Asuma. Saliva came down from Choji's mouth and finding new encouragement he went down to face his opponent.
"I ask for your forgiveness before we are going to hurt each other," Juugo bowed politely to Choji, who was flabbergasted with others seeing Juugo's politeness which no one thought that would come from him.
Genma smirked seeing Juugo all polite before going wild, "Ok participants start the battle."
Hearing that, Juugo transformed into his full curse mark transformation. Choji was surprised first but quickly used partial transformation and tried to punch Juugo with his giant arm. Juugo easily caught Choji's arm before spinning him 3 times around and threw him at a corner.
Choji cried out in pain, "What w-was that!"
"It's my clan's Kekkei Genkai, I can absorb nature chakra or senjutsu chakra naturally in return to lose my sanity," Juugo saw many people stiffened when he said he could lose his sanity, "Once I flattened a whole village because of it, but then my friend Kimimaro found me and took me to his master who could cure my rage. Our master sent me at Ryuichi cave to train me to control my senjutsu chakra, I learned to control it, but I could never enter in sage mode, but I got this transformation, though it cured my rage so I can keep my sanity in control. Though I lost it almost when the Uchiha hurt the ninken (Ninja Dog)."
"Ryuichi cave! It's the realm of the snake summons," Anko audibly blurted out.
"Yes, my master is Orochimaru the snake sannin," said Juugo. Anko stiffened hearing her former sensei's name knowing he betrayed her and her village for abomination experiments.
"What is senjutsu?" Sasuke turned to Kakashi and demanded.
"Sage chakra, it's natural energy formed into chakra, which is incredibly strong, it is said that those who can master senjutsu are equal to the sage of six paths from stories," said Kakashi, "There are only 3 people who mastered senjutsu, the Shodaime Hokage, Senju Hashirama, then Jiraiya-sama and his apprentice, Yondaime-sama, Namikaze Minato. Jiraiya-sama though he didn't complete his training and can't use sage mode without the elder sage summons though Yondaime-sama could do it freely, but he couldn't control sage mode in a fight, so he never used it."
"Hn," Sasuke simple reply gave others the word what he was thinking.
Back in the fight, Choji tried his best to overpower Juugo but he never budged due to his senjutsu transformation. Juugo easily overpowered Choji and pocketed the match in his favor.
"Akimichi Choji is unable to continue, Juugo qualified for the finals," he looked at the next match and found the names of Gaara and Naruto's, "Sabaku no Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto come down." Gaara immediately went down with a psychotic grin plastered on his face.
"Naruto, it's your time," said Kushina as she looked at her son. Naruto slowly opened his eyes and eyed all over the room and heard some audible gasps before he jumped down into the arena.
"Sensei what happened to Naruto's eyes? Those eyes were looking like frog eyes," said Haku in surprise and confusion. When Naruto opened his eyes there was orange sheds over his eyes and his pupils were horizontal bar like toads.
Kakashi's lone eye was widened in shock, "No way he mastered it."
Naruto looked at Kakashi with a stern gaze, "Add this to your memory Kakashi, Uzumaki Naruto mastered senjutsu, and he is gonna use that now and here."
"Now I get it, Naruto was gathering nature energy," said Kushina in realization. Genma comes out of his surprised state and starts the battle.
"Before we start Gaara how about we introduce ourselves about what we are," said Naruto.
"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.
