Chapter 7 The Preliminaries part 2
Julia and Shino stood across from one another.
"So what abilities does she have exactly?" Sasuke asked making Sean and Reznov chuckle.
"Well, answer me this question." Sean said getting a confused expression from Sasuke. "What does all life need to survive?" Sean asked.
"Uh?" Sasuke tried to say.
'I would say food but that's to obvious.' Sasuke thought.
"Oh I see." Kakashi said seeing the answer.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"Watch." Kakashi said as he pointed to the match.
"Begin." Hayate said
Shino suddenly had bugs coming out of his body.
"Bugs? Yuck!" Julia said in disgust while shivering.
"Oh great her most grossed out fear." Reznov said while Sean chuckled.
"This kid is dead meat." Sean said.
"Hey don't put Shino down yet." Kiba said.
"I might as well since he doesn't stand a chance against her." Sean said making him frown.
"If you are truly disgusted then walk away." Shino said as his bugs neared her.
"Yeah fuck you." Julia said as the bugs got closer to her before suddenly a wave of water drowned them.
"What?" Shino said in shock as a sphere of water appeared around her.
"Water?" Sakura asked.
"All life requires water to survive. I thought you guys knew that. Didn't you learn that in the academy? Its kinda common knowledge." Sean said.
"I guess that makes sense." Sasuke thought while observing the round with his Sharingan. "Hey wait theres no Chakra around her or in the water." Sasuke said.
"Thats cause we don't use Chakra. Julia uses an ancient form of power known as Water Bending. Similar to my blood bending she can shift the shape of water around her." Sean said.
"But theres no water around here." Sasuke said.
"Actually there is Sasuke. You just cant see it. In the air its all around you in humidity. Julia is using her power to enlarge the small water particles around her to her needs." Kakashi said.
'A rather brilliant ability actually. These three are beyond Chunin level and maybe above Jounin. I can see why the Hokage invited them here.' Kakashi thought.
Shino's bugs were unable to get past Julia's water shield.
"My turn and I'm going to drown all those disgusting little bugs of yours!" Julia yelled as a giant wave of water rushed at Shino making him gasp as he was engulfed in the wave before being held in a Water sphere unable to breathe. "All I need to do is wait till all those little bastards are dead and you can go." Julia said.
"Enough." Hayate said making her let Shino go and he gasped for air.
"Nothing personal. I just really hate bugs you know?" Julia said walking up to the stands with her team.
"Nice work." Reznov said making her smile.
"Was nearly drowning Shino necessary?" Kurenai asked.
"Sorry but like I said I really hate bugs." Julia said shivering.
"Oh we believe me we know." Sean said as his hand impersonated a spider walking on her shoulder.
"AHHH!" Julia yelled before seeing it was his hand making Sean and the others laugh. "Fucking asshole!" Julia yelled hitting him.
"Oh lighten up. I was just kidding." Sean said snickering before Hayate coughed gaining their attention.
"Now for the next match." Hayate said as the next fighters names appeared.
Sasuke vs Karui
"Oh great now I don't know who to cheer for." Sean said annoyed.
"Meaning?" Sasuke asked making Sean point to her. "What have you been doing while in the village?" Sasuke asked.
"Just getting to know the lovely ladies of the ninja lands. You should try it. It might make you a little less emo." Sean said making him sputter making Naruko giggle while Kakashi gave his famous eye smile.
"Whatever." Sasuke said before jumping down to face her.
"Oh one more thing." Sean said tossing him the Ebony sword he bought while in the village. "Consider it evening the odds." Sean said making him smirk.
"This is going to be fun." Karui said cracking her neck.
"Begin." Hayate said as they both charged at each other before clashing with blades making Sparks fly around before Sasuke kicked her feet out before he quickly kicked her up.
"What the?" Karui said before Sasuke appeared and started kicking her hard before they flew back down to the ground and he kicked her hard in the stomach.
"Lions barrage!" Sasuke said as he landed on his feet away from her. Karui was knocked out cold.
"I guess she was more experienced with a sword than hand to hand combat." Sean said making Samui nod.
"Winer of the fifth match. Sasuke Uchiha." Hayate said as Karui was carried away. Sasuke walked back to the others.
"Nice work. I guess you didn't need my sword after all." Sean said as he handed it back to him.
"I wouldn't say that. I might consider learning to use a sword after the exams are over." Sasuke said.
"I would. One must be prepared for anything. Believe me from experience you never want to be unprepared especially in a battle." Sean said making him nod.
'Well, it seems this Spartan has a lot of influence over Sasuke. Might even be able to turn him away from his path of revenge.' Kakashi said.
"Now for the next Match." Hayate said as the names appeared. (Also one of you said having 32 people left made no sense I forgot to say that Shizuka's team withdrew since they were exhausted and Fu's team was out of juice unlike her since well you can guess)
Fu vs Kiba
"Ha this is an easy win!" Kiba said getting Akamaru to bark while Fu had her left eye twitch in annoyance.
"Kick his dumb ass all the way to the village and back." Sean said making her grin.
"Yes dear." Fu said before jumping down to the arena.
"You might as well go home little girl you can beat the two of us." Kiba said before Akamaru started to whimper and ran off. "Hey where you going?" Kiba asked confused.
"Begin." Hayate said before six wings grew out of Fu's back making her fly up.
"Whoa she can fly?" Naruko asked in surprise.
"Nice." Sean said.
"So what? I can still beat you." Kiba said jumping toward her.
2 minutes later
Kiba was on the ground completely bruised up and moaning in pain.
"Asshole. Next time don't underestimate your opponent even if its a girl." Fu said kicking him in the stomach before jumping back up to the others.
"Nice work." Sean said making her smile.
"Do I get a prize?" Fu asked making him grin before kissing her forehead making her blush while the other girls glared.
'BITCH!' The girls yelled in annoyance even Hinata.
"Ok next match will begin." Hayate said as the named appeared.
Kankuro vs Omoi
"Heh. This is going to be fun." Kankura said jumping down to the arena along with Omoi.
"Begin." Hayate said.
Omoi charged at Kankuro with his sword before stabbing Kankuro in the stomach surprising everyone while the object Kanjuro carried dropped down.
"Well that was quick." Sasuke said.
"Ah it isn't over." Sean said having his eyes glow sickly yellow and slitted.
'Whats with his eyes? He's been doing that since the forest. Is it a Dojutsu?' Sasuke thought.
"Sorry I didn't mean..." Omoi tried to say before Kankuro's face started coming apart revealing he was actually a puppet shocking Omoi before the puppet grabbed him and started crushing him. The real Kankuro was inside the object.
"See what I mean? He's using his Chakra to control the Puppet like a weapon. We have similar things back home only used for training though." Sean said.
"I give!" Omoi yelled before he was let go letting him breathe hard trying to gain his strength back.
"Sorry kid." Kankuro said.
"The winner is Kankuro." Hayate said.
"A puppet master. I have to say I'm impressed." Sean said making Kankuro grin.
"What can I say I'm just that good." Kankuro said before Temari bonked him on the head.
"Keep telling yourself that." Temari said.
"Next." Reznov said as the next lot was drawn.
Samui vs Ino
"Blonde vs Blonde." Julia said as both Blondes dropped down in the arena.
(We all know how this is going to turn out so why bother)
Ino was on the ground out cold from the beating Samui gave her. Samui of course smirked.
"Nice work." Sean said making her blush and smile.
"A real Kunoichi is prepared for battle and doesn't become one just for a boy." Samui said making Sakura hang her head in shame.
"Same goes for Spartan Women in Kruger's home. Hell you should see his teacher she could teach you a thing or two." Reznov said.
"You were taught by a woman?" Naruko asked.
"Well duh. You ever hear the saying the female sex is the most dangerous of a species?" Sean asked making her grin. "My teacher is uh how should I say?" Sean said trying to think of a word.
"Downright terrifying?" Reznov asked.
"Scary as hell?" Julia asked.
"A woman from the darkest corners of the Earth?" Dilios asked though joking.
"NO!" Sean yelled. "Strict yet passionate in her work." Sean said making the women smirk.
"No she's downright scary." Reznov said shivering from the memory of meeting her the first time.
"Oh she can't be that bad." Temari said.
"Oh no she is." Sean said before the next match up appeared.
Suzumebachi vs Temari
"Oh goody two more women fighting one another." Reznov said before Sean kicked him in the leg.
Both women dropped down.
"Begin." Hayate said.
Suzumebachi started sending out lots of bees at Temari.
"More bugs?" Julia asked in disgust.
"Bee's? Hmm." Sean said.
"Thats part of her clan's ability. Like that Shino guy she can control bee's but unlike him her bugs don't live inside her." Kurotsuchi said.
"Oh." Sean said before Temari pulled out her fan and opened it and swung it at her releasing a gust of Wind that sent her into a wall and knocked out cold. "Well that was anticlimactic." Sean said.
"Winer is Temari." Hayate said as Temari walked back to the others.
"Well what did you think?" Temari asked grinning.
"Very impressive." Sean said.
"Oh please Kruger your just going to compliment everyone." Reznov said rolling his eyes before Sean threw him at the bottom of the arena. "OW!" Reznov yelled annoyed before jumping back to the others and glared at Sean while the others laughed.
"Sorry you say something?" Sean asked while Guy yelled in shock.
"You rubbed off on him Kakashi!" Guy yelled.
"You say something?" Kakashi asked making him yell again and held his hair.
"You make me so made Kakashi! Why do you have to act so Cool!" Guy yelled in frustration.
"The hell is he blabbing about?" Sean asked.
"Forget it. It doesn't matter." Neji said while sighing in annoyance.
Next match contestants
Shikamaru vs Misumi
"Two leaf village Genin against each other." Reznov said as the two went to the arena and began their fight or at least Misumi tried since Shiamaru's shadow jutsu held him down before he had him hit his head against the wall knocking him out.
"Whats with all the short battles? I want to see some real action here." Reznov said.
"Be patient man." Sean said as the next match began.
Sakura vs Naruko
"Oh now that sucks." Julia said as both teammates looked at each other before jumping into the arena.
"Now hard feelings right Sakura?" Naruko asked making her nod.
"Begin." Hayate said and Naruko started off with creating a few Shadow clones.
Sakura easily managed to destroy them since Naruko wasn't that experienced in hand to hand combat.
However Sakura failed to see one clone behind her as she grabbed her from behind and head butted her hard.
"Ow." Sakura said feeling dizzy before Naruko kicked her in the air and then watched her fall down knocked out cold.
"Again another short match what the fuck? Our matches were at least a little bit longer." Reznov said.
"Enough." Sean said as Naruko walked back to the others before the Next match began.
Tenten vs Shizuka
"Now who's she?" Sean asked seeing the woman with White skin long black hair and green eyes.
"Well she's from a village that only has women known as the Nadeshiko Village." Kakashi explained.
"Sounds like the Amazons from Greece." Sean said.
"Begin." Hayate said.
Tenten immediately threw her weapons at Shizuka but surprisingly she dodged each attack with ease before dashing at her and kneed her in the stomach hard making Tenten gasp in shock before Shizuka quickly kicked her in the air and then back down knocking her out.
"Damn." Sean said in surprise. "Just like the Amazons." Sean said As Shizuka walked back to the balcony before glancing at him and smiled.
"That leaves seven people left. And since there is an odd number of people. The proctor will either make a two on one match or allow someone a pass to the finals." Dilios said.
"More likely the second one since after the last two on one match ended I don't think thats going to happen." Asuma said.
The next match up started.
Kurotsuchi vs Yoroi
"This should be easy." Kurotsuchi said grinning.
"Don't let your guard down now. Underestimate your opponent and you will die." Sean said before she kissed his cheek making the other girls look at her in annoyance.
"You worry to much babe." Kurotsuchi said before jumping down to face her opponent.
"Begin" Hayate said and Yoroi immediately charged at her and managed to grab her and in the process started stealing her chakra.
"What the?" Kurotsuchi said in shock before she finally managed to kick him off. "Now I get it you can steal Chakra from anyone just by touching them." Kurotsuchi said annoyed that she let her guard down before going through hand signs and started spitting grey substance at him which ended up hitting his feet.
"What the?" Yoroi said trying to move but couldn't.
"HA! Your stuck! That stuff is as hard as steel you'll never get out." Kurotsuchi said grinning at her downed opponent.
"Winer Kurotsuchi." Hayate said as she jumped back to the other while Sean gave her an amused look on his face.
"Alright you were right." Kurotsuchi said annoyed before he kissed her forehead making her blush before smiling at him.
'TRAMP!' The girls yelled in their heads.
"Next time listen to my advice." Sean said making her grin.
"Now I wonder who's next?" Reznov asked before the next match began.
Neji vs Hinata
"Uh oh." Sean said noticing how Neji was looking forward to this match if the look on his face was any indication.
Hinate and Neji walked to the arena.
"I never thought I would have to fight you here Hinata." Neji said.
"Nor I brother." Hinata said.
"Hmm? Are those two siblings?" Sean asked.
"More like Cousins. Their fathers are Twins. But Neji's father was part of the branch family of the Clan." Guy said.
"Hmm." Sean said looking at Neji and something about that look in his eye made him feel uneasy. "I got a bad feeling about this." Sean said.
"Spartan instinct?" Kakashi asked.
"No just a bad feeling. That dude down there gives me a bad vibe." Sean said.
"A word of advice. Give up. You were never meant to be a ninja. Your soft and far to kind. You don't belong here." Neji said coldly making Hinata's confidence crumble till.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DUMBASS!" Sean yelled surprising him and Hinata with the Blunt outburst. "You're not going to let him talk that way about you are you now! Show him he's dead wrong about you!" Sean yelled.
"This doesn't involve you foreigner." Neji said glaring at him before looking back at Hinata and was surprised when he saw the determination in her eyes and activated her Dojutsu.
'Just what is it about that foreigner that inspires everyone?' Neji asked himself before he charged at Hinata.
Despite the courage boost Sean gave her Neji still won his match against her.
"People can't change the way they are." Neji said glaring at her.
"The fuck is his problem?" Reznov asked.
"No your wrong Neji. Your the one who's all torn up about the clan." Hinata said making Neji growl and dashed at her with the intent to kill only to gasp in pain as Sean drove his Ebony sword through his stomach in a non vital area.
"What is this? Why are you protecting her?" Neji demanded only to groan in pain as Sean pushed the sword in deeper.
"Not another fucking word. Now then back the fuck up or this sword will go all the way through." Sean said in a warning tone. His eyes became the Sickly yellow version and slitted making him look intimidating. Neji reluctantly backed up and groaned in pain. Sean put the Sword back on his back before Julia appeared and engulfed Hinata from the neck down in water before she started healing her body.
"Why are you foreigners butting in? The head family gets special treatment?" Neji asked in anger before gasping as Sean had his blades in an X formation around his head.
"I don't know what the fuck your problem is asshole but you're really starting to annoy me. Back off." Sean said making him growl in anger.
After Hinata was healed she returned to the others.
"You might have lost the match Hinata but you did great nonetheless." Sean said making her blush and smile at him.
"Now for the final match." Hayate said as the last match up began
Choji vs Akatsuchi
"So I get a free pass?" Kin asked grinning.
"Lucky you." Sean said making her smile.
Akatsuchi managed to win his round due to his Earth Style abilities.
"So now the finals can begin." Hiruzen said.
