A Saiyan's Return!

"Eight Trigrams: Sixty-four Palms!"

This was the shout of one Hyuga prodigy known as Neji Hyuga. The Chunin Exams Finals were currently underway with the first match seemingly ending at this moment. Neji had just executed a main family technique from the Hyuga clan. Doing so on his opponent which was one Naruto Uzumaki. As the blonde-haired genin flew back Neji could only smirk as he proved the boy wrong about his belief. Fate was absolute and he had proved it right here with his final blow. Those in the stands watch withheld breathe as they witness the prowess of last year's rookie of the year as he decimated the dobe. It was no surprise as everyone knew or at least had bets against the whisker blonde.

Naruto flew through the air after the final blow down to all of his tenketsu being blocked off making him feel loads of pain at the moment. As he flew back time seemed to slow down around him as he stared upwards toward the semi-clear sky. He watched the few clouds in the air move slowly on by while the birds up there flew around. How long has it been since he truly thought about his actions? This farce of a match shouldn't have gone this long nor the outcome should have become like this. What most didn't understand is that Naruto was holding a lot more power and strength in him than most thought. And he isn't talking about the Kyuubi. He has just been keeping it sealed and holding it back. Why would he do this though? At the moment he couldn't remember his reasoning for doing this. Maybe it had to do with all the death threats against him? All the fear he could sense coming from the villagers? The fear from the shinobi?

Maybe it was his own fear of already not being accepted. Figuring that maybe if he wasn't as strong as he would come to be and ALREADY is then people would actually stop fearing him and he would accept him. Ever since he was young he knew there was a primal fear coming from everyone that he got close to back in the past. Of course, now he knew why with the knowledge of the Kyuubi being sealed inside of him. Then there was his own strength that others could just sense flowing off of him.

But was it even worth it? Should he truly care about how everyone sees him now? Even after sealing away his true strength people still looked at him with fear which turned to hate. Hate that was shown that he wasn't as strong as their natural instincts were telling them. And because of that, it was what started the attacks and threats against himself. If he wasn't as strong as they thought he was then they had no reason to fear or hide all of their hate against him.

Thinking back on it he realized how foolish such a thing was. He sacrificed his strength and his PRIDE to appease the people and to try to become accepted by the masses. He became a fool on the outside that allowed everyone to push him around from back when he was a still a brat in the academy to even now! Well, no more! If there is one thing his kind was supposed to never give up, it was their PRIDE as warriors! A warrior didn't hide his strength away and weaken himself. He let his power soar to new heights and became stronger!

It was time.

Time to drop the mask and reveal his true self.

He could feel his body crash land against the arena floor. He grunted from the impact but didn't show any other kind of reaction to what happened to him. He could hear the sound of Neji moving out of his Jūken stance and stand in front of him. Looking up he could see the bastard had a smirk on his face while crossing his arms.

"As I've said before. Fate has declared me the victor of this battle. Just as it did back during the preliminaries against Hinata-sama. Learn to stay down and you won't be in such a position as she was. Almost killed because she decided to go against her fate in being weak. Just like you. No matter what you do, no matter how much work you put into your training, you are destined to forever be weak against your betters. Just as I am destined to forever hold a curse to keep me in line towards the main family." Neji said while shaking his head with a slight scowl. "Proctor go ahead and call the match. He's finished." He turned around and began walking away but stopped when he heard laughter. The laughter that came from his downed opponent. Turning back around he gritted his teeth as he watched the idiot on the ground slowly began to stand up to his feet. He could see the grimace on his face before watching as Naruto quieted down to a chuckle before spitting some blood out of his mouth.

"I'm sorry. It's just…I found what you said funny. All of your fate bullshit and your talks about how Hinata is weak. To me, Hinata is definitely the strongest kunoichi of our graduation year. It was obvious to me that she was holding back when fighting you since she sees you as her family. If she really wanted to win against you I have no doubt she could have pulled it off." Naruto said while Neji gritted his teeth and glared at him while those in the crowd were surprised at his words about the Hyuga heiress. None more so than Hisashi Hyuga, Hinata's stick up the ass for a father, and the other rookies plus their jounin senseis. They never heard such faith come from the blonde about the girl who had a massive crush on him bigger than the Hokage monument.

Wiping away some blood that leaked from his mouth Naruto gave a grin towards Neji before saying something that would shock every single person in the stadium. "And then there's you calling me weak. Saying no matter what I do I'll forever be like this. I'll admit…your words carry truth to them." There was a slight gasp coming from the audience above as none would think Naruto would admit Neji was right about him being weak and never able to advance. This was Naruto Uzumaki we are talking about here! The one who constantly claims he'll be Hokage and stronger than all the past kages. "However, your words would carry more truth if it weren't for the fact I've been holding back this entire time." He chuckled while there was a loud gasp heard throughout the stadium with Neji's eyes widening before he glared at Naruto.

Hearing that the dead last was apparently holding back during the whole fight was both interesting and somewhat ludicrous. What reason would he have for holding back against the prodigy? It made no sense to anyone. Neji himself wasn't believing it one bit. He couldn't have been holding back against him. He would have known if he was keeping something back from him.

"The thing is though," Naruto continued while unzipping his jacket and tossing it to the side, "I've actually been holding myself back ever since the academy." There was a collective gasp again at such a statement. How could he have been holding back all the way since then?! "The me you and everyone else thinks you know, it isn't the real me. No one knows who the real me is, not even the old man Hokage knows about my true self." This came to an even bigger surprised to the man mentioned. Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, had his eyes widen at such a statement coming from the one he viewed as a grandson. Was Naruto really hiding so much from him and the village? What purpose did he have for holding himself back from exceeding everyone's expectations from the start? This wasn't making any sense to the old professor.

Everyone continued to watch as Naruto pulled his blue shirt off his body with a couple of girls, as well as some older women, in the stadium gaining a red tint on their cheeks at seeing his physique. Those who knew Naruto, or at least think they knew this Naruto, knew that he was always inhaling ramen faster than an Akimachi at a buffet. Ramen wasn't the best food to be eating every day for every single meal. So, it came to a surprise to see that he wasn't as scrawny as most thought he would be and that he actually had muscle defining his frame. Clapping his hands together everyone watched as he focused his chakra to come through the surface, breaking the block that Neji did to him, before seeing several lines of fuinjutsu writing appear on his body in an intricate design. What none were able to see that there was a specific area at his tailbone made around it.

Neji watched this and gritted his teeth while shaking his head before glaring with his byakugan fully activated. He could see the tenketsu he blocked before opening up forcefully by his rising chakra level. "So, what! You say you were holding back, but that doesn't change what fate has decreed. It has decreed me the winner of this battle here and no matter what you do, you will still be weak!" Neji declared towards Naruto while getting back into his Jūken stance and prepared to put this commoner back in his place. He may have been part of the branch family of the Hyuga but even they were above such filth like him.

Naruto began chuckling again as Neji began triggering his nerves. "There you go again. Calling me weak. You're really starting to piss me off." He said while lowering his hands before glaring at Neji though a confident smirk appeared on his face as he placed his hands to his side and got into a horse stance. "It's time I shut that trap of yours. You can insult me all you want, but the moment you start calling me weak, the moment you began attacking my pride as a warrior, that's when you have gone too far. So, sit back and witness why I decided to seal away my TRUE power!"

There was a slight wind rustle to the trees as an odd wind began blowing through the air rustling Naruto's hair. Genma looked down to the ground before his eyes widen when he saw a couple of rocks shaking up and down on the ground. Looking up he could see the trembling happening closer to Naruto. Whatever the kid was doing, he knew he should probably back up some more.

"hhrrRAAAAAAAH!" Naruto roared with the ground underneath him cracking and sparks of electricity coming off his body. Gritting his teeth Naruto began releasing growls from his mouth as he tightens his stance and begins channeling more energy making the ground shake and the arena tremble from how much energy he was outputting. As he continued to make his energy grow there was a red aura barely visibly around him. Neji backed away as his eyes widen from what he could see. He could see the chakra coils expanded and his chakra overflowing and changing with more energy going through his whole body, not being contained in just his tenketsu but flowing throughout his entire form. He watched as another wave of energy passed by making the ground crater with the debris of earth floating in the air around him.

Everyone in the stadium had wide eyes and mouths gaped at what they were seeing. They could all practically feel the energy waving off him. Naruto himself was releasing more of his sealed away energy as the seals all around his body began turning red themselves. Making it look like his form was cracking.

"HHHAAAAAAAAAA!" He released a louder roar to the heavens as all the build-up energy flowed out making the ground crater even more and causing the violent wind to push back those on the arena floor. His energy created a pillar of red light that flowed to the sky covering his form with the light blinding everyone there. Everyone had to cover their face in order to not be blinded anymore and those who had activated their Byakugan needed to shut it off or they would have gone blind from the amount of energy they could SEE coming off of him.

'Such power! I should have marked him when I had the chance!' Came the voice of a disguised Orochimaru as he was glad the veil covered his face, though it didn't stop him from raising his hand to hide the light more. To think the Kyuubi brat was hiding all of this from everyone! He would need to find a way to get him. With all of that power, he could no doubt have the perfect body even without the Sharingan!

Soon the light began fading and everyone was able to move their eyes back to the arena floor. Of course, when they did there was a loud gasp coming from everyone as eyes widened from what they were seeing. Naruto's form had changed! When he said he was holding back they didn't think it was also the cause for his appearance! Down on the floor stood a now five foot two Naruto, standing at the same height as Shino. The muscles on his body seemed to have expanded and been even more defined on his body. The whisker marks on his face seemed to have become much bolder giving him a much more feral look to him since they could also see his canine poking out from his top lip. His hair was much more spiker and longer with two bangs framing his face like a certain blonde Hokage everyone loves or hate depending on who you were. What shocked people, even more, was that they could see a brown monkey tail swinging about behind Naruto. It seemed to have broken out of the back of his pants, that ripped some from the power spike and growth, making people think it was physically apart of him.

"No way! Is that…. really Naruto?" Came the voice of Sakura as she stared at her teammate with Ino right next to her. While Sakura was shocked Ino was blushing up a storm to levels that Hinata reaches. Speaking of Hinata, she was in the stadium sitting next to her sensei watching everything. She was currently redder than a tomato, redder than the fur of the Kyuubi, redder than the hair of an Uzumaki. Steam was coming out of her ears as she stared at the new form of her big-time crush. There was a little bit of blood leaking from her nose as her thoughts went closer to the gutter as she stared at his physique before she finally passed out. Kurenai caught her student while she had her own tint of pink on her face from seeing her student's crush transform. She had to admit he was a lot more handsome now especially with his whiskers giving him that more feral look.

Naruto was smirking at his opponent who was forced to shut his Byakugan off unless he wanted his eyes to be ruined. Closing his own eyes Naruto took in a deep breath of fresh air before letting it out with a content sigh. It couldn't remember the last time he was like this and not in his mask sealed state. To feel all of his energy flowing through him once more made him happy. Rolling his neck, he heard a few cracks and sighed from the tension being released. Doing a few stretches he could feel his muscles relaxing and his body becoming less strict in movement.

"It has been too long since I was like this. Why I decided to seal all this away I'll never know." He spoke with people noticing his voice was slightly deeper than before. Smirking he turned his gaze towards Neji before walking forward out of the miniature crater he made from releasing his power. "Well, Neji, ready for the real match to begin?" He grinned showing off his longer canines while Neji just scoffed and got back in his Jūken stance and turned his Byakugan back on. His power wasn't increasingly rising so it made it bearable to stare at him. He did wince from the amount of energy just flowing off of him though.

"Like I said, commoner! No matter what change you go through, fate has decreed that-!" He didn't get to finish as Naruto moved with such speed that he didn't notice with his fist entering his gut making him gasp out in pain while also forcing his Byakugan to turn off.

"You really gotta learn to stop talking so much," Naruto said before smirking and elbowed his chin up before stepping to the side to knee his chest making Neji gasp for air. Naruto quickly moved for a left hook that was strong and made his jaw rattle before Naruto began moving his body faster. His fist were slight blurs as he punched Neji from each side of his face and body. His legs weren't idle either as he performed a flip kick and moved into a handstand before spinning his body to drive a heel kick towards his ribcage. He could both feel and hear one of them crack before spinning again and kicked Neji in the jaw sending him into the sky. Jumping up Naruto punched him in the back sending him further flying into the sky. As he landed on the ground he wasn't finished as the crowd watched the blonde jump again before kicking him even further into the sky. Neji's gasp of pain and need for air lessened as he couldn't think properly to counter-attack the blonde from how much pain he was receiving now.

"I'm not finished with you yet," Naruto said as he appeared above the so-called prodigy before slamming his fist down like a hammer sending Neji like a missile to the dirt with a crater appearing. Landing on the ground Naruto watches Neji weakly pull himself out of the ground and glare at him. He couldn't believe this was happening to him! He was assured he had victory as Naruto was the class dobe! He may have made it all the way here but he knew he wouldn't defeat him. Neji straightens himself and ignored the pain his body was in so he could charge towards Naruto. Smirking the blonde waited patiently before dodging each strike Neji tried to hit him with. He danced around each strike while keeping his smirk on his face making Neji growl as he tried harder to hit the blonde idiot. He was mocking him!

"Man, I can't believe I was having trouble in dealing with you. Your movements are slow and predictive." Naruto mocked whiled the Hyuga prodigy that was his opponent glared heatedly and roared as he moved his body faster to try and land a hit on the enigma of a blonde. "If this is all you got Neji then I'm done toying with you." As he said that he caught the boy's hand by the wrist and tighten his grip on it making him wince from the pressure. Smirking Naruto moved his other hand and grabbed Neji's whole arm before spinning and throwing him across the arena. As he flew Naruto tensed his legs before running after him to finish this battle.

"I like to call this little move Demonic Rush!" He said before increasing his speed till he became a blur. Neji landed on the ground before standing shaking his head. When he looked up all he saw was Naruto appear right in front of him before hitting him with a left hook. He could feel a tooth fly out of his mouth from the power behind the hit. Then Naruto moved fast hitting him with a hard straight to the chest before doing another punch with his left. He wasn't finished yet as he moved his knee striking his abdomen before using the momentum to spin into a spin kick before going into a high kick that brought Neji into the air. Clenching his right hand into a fist he threw it into Neji's gut so hard he thought he would pass out from the pain right then. Blood and spittle flew from his mouth before Naruto gave him one last punch to the face that sends the Hyuga flying until he crashed into the wall. When the dust cloud cleared everyone could see that Neji was unconscious as his body fell out imprint he made into the wall. Naruto smirked before turning and walking away. This battle was over.

"Winner of the first round: Naruto Uzumaki!" Genma shouted while having his own smile on his face. That was definitely a surprise for the century. He would personally make sure this kid got a promotion as that was the best battle between genin he has seen. To think the class clown of his generation was holding so much back from everyone that not even their own Hokage had an idea that he was like this. Chuckling he motioned for the medics to go pick up Neji's body while he watched Naruto walk over picked up his shirt and jacket. The crowd was silent until there were a few cheers from multiple individuals that got louder. Most of the applause was from those who weren't from Konoha as most of the Konoha civilians were afraid of what this could mean for them. The demon brat that a good couple of them always hated and sneered towards was now a powerhouse monster. No more would they be able to push him around like before. The Fire Daimyo that was present for the matches was also cheering and had his eye on that boy. He looked very familiar to him like he was reminded of a certain someone with similar features. When this was over he would be investigating the boy to find out where he had come from. He would also like to personally congratulate the boy for putting on an amazing show and showing that he was more than meets the eye.

"Hiruzen should be glad to have such a strong promising shinobi. That boy will definitely go far in his life."

Naruto smirked hearing the cheers as he had his shirt and jacket over his shoulder as he made his way out of the arena and to head up to the fighter's box.

"Feels good to be back."

(And done! Nice little One-shot story! Something that just came to mind while I was listening to dubstep remixes of some DBZ and Super scenes. I really love the scene of Gohan going Super Saiyan 2 at the world tournament. The music makes it so intense with the whole arena floor shaking and floating around him as his power skyrockets with the whole crowd just being surprised at such a phenomenon. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this little thing. This may actually become its own story one day in the future. That's up to you if you liked this. Again, hoped you liked this and have a nice day/evening/night/morning or whatever!
