----I do NOT own Naruto. I own MY Story Line, as well as characters made by me.
-Sight
Tsunade was rummaging through pages of books that she wrote notes in, desperately trying to find a way to cure curse seals and such things that dealt with evil such as those. She knew she wrote something somewhere… "Shizune! Do you remember what notebook I wrote in when we encountered those Elite Sound Jounin? I can't find any logs on them anywhere."
"No, sorry, Tsunada-sama. I can't recall which notebook was which. There's too many. Maybe you should try writing dates on the notebook's covers?"
"Ah. Maybe I should. Whatever, I'll just have to look in these— Sakura? What are you doing here?" Sakura had just barged in, panting like she had just run from many miles away. Sakura looked cute in her clothes she wore, so revealing. Tsunade had bought her those a while back. Though, she began to worry. What could be so important that she would, without permission, slam the door open of the Hokage's office?
"Tsunade-sama! We have a problem! Naruto… He's going to fight…" Sakura trailed off. Her eyes stared at the floor, blank, as if she'd seen a ghost. She whispered inaudibly.
"What was that, Sakura?" Tsunade stared at Sakura, anxiety filled her eyes and her body, engulfing her in a drunk-like feeling, except she was anxious rather than drunk. "Who is he going to fight, Sakura." This time, it wasn't a question. It was a demand. She was too worried, she didn't have time for foolish questions. She needed to know right away. It was only tomorrow that Naruto would embark. He needed to be well in order to leave.
Sakura looked up at her former Sensei. "It's… Sasuke."
"Ah, we're back here, huh? Didn't expect you to want to fight here." Sasuke's coat/cape flailed in the wind, his hair being blown the same direction. His hands still in his pockets, staring at Naruto with those Sharingan eyes. It made Sasuke seem a bit relaxed, from what Naruto could see.
Naruto was confident. He could probably beat Sasuke now.
… He hoped.
"Hm, don't disappoint me, Sasuke. I'm looking forward to kicking your ass." Naruto made a fist, his chakra being sent out, nonstop, much like a faucet being left on. Naruto kept a close eye on Sasuke's Sharingan. He had to take extra precautions if what Sasuke had claimed was a fact. His Sharingan had become a 3 wheel already, from what Naruto could see. Although he had seen it during the fight at the Valley's End, he was still astonished by the sight.
"Naruto. Just so you know…" Sasuke's voice trailed off as Naruto just noticed he was gone. He felt a familiar cold, steel-like object at his neck. A kunai. "You can't beat me, Naruto. I'm too powerful for even you, now." Sasuke stabbed Naruto's neck, expecting it to be over already. But as he stabbed his neck, Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke. As it cleared away, there was but a block of wood. "You've learned the Replacement Jutsu, then? Impressive, but not good enough." He disappeared yet again, many clones of Sasuke appearing. Naruto felt a bit concerned. He knew he could lose.
"Sasuke! How'd you do the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto began to do it as well, completing his hand signs.
Sasuke chuckled, staring at Naruto. "I have that Sharingan, Naruto. It copies the enemy. I knew where you were, I felt your chakra. So I just turned around to see you doing the signs, and I did them subconsciously. Wipe that surprised look off your face. I know you expected it." Sasuke whispered to himself, "Shadow Clone…" He turned around, throwing a kunai at the floor as something rose from it, which appeared to be Naruto. It pierced Naruto's arm as he came out expecting to hit Sasuke. Naruto again disappeared within a cloud of smoke. "Shit…" Sasuke said to himself, eyes widening. He felt something big happening.
"Doton! Shuujanzanshu no Jutsu!" Tens of Narutos had come out of the ground, all grabbing Sasuke. They all began to pummel Sasuke into the dirt. They punched, kicked, elbowed. Sasuke was still too fast. He blocked everything. A kick flew towards his face as he blocked it with his arm. A punch came near his gut. He grabbed the fist, keeping a firm grip on it. He was planning something. He shifted his arm that was blocking Naruto's kick so that he could grab a hold onto it. He began spinning extremely rapidly, causing an effect that made the Naruto's spin uncontrollably around Sasuke. Sasuke's clones began to perform hand signs.
Naruto began hearing techniques shouted, only two different ones. Every other clone of Sasuke shouted, "Katon! Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" The ones in between were shouting another technique: "Katon! Housenka no Jutsu!" Rapid small fireballs were sent at the spinning Sasuke, harnessed by the wind and the chakra mixed within it, as the bigger fireballs were being slowed down, yet becoming more powerful as they fused together, forming a fire-like tornado that rampaged across the stadium. Countless Naruto clones had vanished, defeated by the massive fire. The real Naruto was in the middle of this, being scorched as he had to think of a way to stop this. He remembered the story Lee-san had told him… About fighting against Kisame of Akatsuki. He used a technique to release water… What was it… That's it!
"Suiton! Bakusui Shouha!" Naruto began to breathe in, nearly choking on the smoke, but he let out a massive amount of water, dousing the flames nearly immediately. Although there was no flames, there was a huge cloud of smoke hovering just above the ground, making it nearly impossible to breathe. Leftover water was on the floor.
"Impressive, Naruto. I didn't think you could use such a powerful technique." Now's my chance, Sasuke thought to himself. I can shroud him in darkness as I can attack him from every angle. "Katon! Housenka no Jutsu!" Fireballs, just about the size of a soccer ball, began to shoot from Sasuke's mouth, not exactly aiming for Naruto. They hit the ground next to him, hitting water as it dispersed as smoke.
Naruto began to worry. Shit, he thought. How the hell am I getting out of this? Smoke began to fill his lungs as he began to receive hits from Sasuke. He couldn't see, but Sasuke's Sharingan allowed him to see Naruto perfectly. Naruto had begun to get pummeled. He kept getting hit in the face, kicked from behind, being pushed down more and more until he was kneeling. He began coughing up chunks of blood. He nearly fainted as he heard a voice.
"Naruto, such a failure. Let me out so I can play with this Sharingan boy. He looks interesting… He would make such a tasty meal, Naruto."
Who the hell is talking to me? No… It can't be… Kyuubi?
"Yes, it is I, Kyuubi. I thought you had no brain, Kid. Now, let me out so I can have some fun."
No, I can't. You're too dangerous. It will hurt innocent people if I let you out now.
"Oh, shut up. You're getting your ass kicked out there. You're coughing up blood. We're coughing up blood."
What the hell do you mean by we? We're not one.
"So you may think, Naruto. Man, why did I have to be stuck with the brainless twit as my host," Kyuubi said, exaggerating the word brainless.
Shut up! But we're not fused together. You're merely sealed inside me.
"Yes, yes. So? We're slowly fusing together as we speak, as your anger revolves around you, releasing me. The more I'm released, the more in sync we'll be. We can be even more powerful!"
I don't know…It sounds dangerous. You won't do anything drastic, though, will you? Like start attacking random people?
"Of course not. I'm not too bad when it comes to my bloodthirst…"
Fine! But if you do anything serious, I won't let you out anymore.
Sasuke noticed Naruto fall to the floor, not doing anything for a few seconds. As Sasuke began to approach him, he was blown back with the smoke as a powerful 'shock wave' of chakra and power emitted from Naruto. Naruto slowly stood up, a dark look in his newly crimson red eyes. His fox lines on his cheeks began to slowly lengthen, his nails became longer, giving him the appearance of a fox-boy. Sasuke gave him that 'as expected' look.
"Sasuke…I can't let you get away this time." Naruto's voice was mixed with the Kyuubi's. He looked up at Sasuke, "You have to stay!" As the blood red chakra flowed around him, Naruto raced off into the floor, digging his way deep into the ground. "Doton! Shuujanzanshu no Jutsu!" Naruto came up from the floor, not expecting to hit Sasuke, not only because he couldn't, but because he was planning on something else. He flew upwards into the air, as Sasuke jumped backwards. He was in mid-air, unable to dodge anything. He had fallen into a trap. Or so Naruto thought. Naruto threw mixtures of shuriken and kunai straight at Sasuke, surprised to see him dodging them as if they were merely gusts of wind. None had hit him. Naruto seemed to be a bit… Off. He felt as if he was drunk. His eyes… They wouldn't concentrate. Sasuke took this as his best chance. He charged up his Chidori…
Tsunade ran towards the lounge where the Jounin were usually rounded up. She burst through the door, breasts slightly jiggling, Jiraiya noticed. Tsunade caught his eye movements and shot a punch that twisted him in mid-air, as he flew outside the two-story lounge, hitting a huge tree, a stupid surprised look on his face. They all watched him as he slid down the tree, embarrassed, possibly. Kakashi chuckled, everyone else rolled over with laughter. Tsunade had to calm them down, telling them what was going on.
"Guys. Kakashi, mainly. Naruto's currently in an epic battle at the Chuunin Exam Stadium. His opponent…" She looked up. Darkly. They wondered what it meant. No one knew, but Kakashi finished Tsunade's sentence fragment.
"…Is Sasuke," Kakashi proclaimed, coolly looking back hard at Tsunade. "My Sharingan projects my senses, causing a bigger area around me to be able to be identified by me. I felt 2 huge amounts of Chakra charge themselves over there. I recognized Naruto's right away, since I've been with it for a while. But Sasuke's… It's grown immensely these past years. I'm afraid that Naruto… might lose." He looked back up to everyone. Might Gai was staring in awe, his eyes blank spots and lines around them, mouth ajar. He began to speak.
"Hah! There's no way Naruto could lose! He's just like Lee! He's determined and ready to win!" Gai did his Nice-Guy Pose, his teeth shining, blinding Kakashi's normal eye. "Just like I'm ready to beat Kakashi in another round!" Gai added, trying to lighten the air by being competitive. Kakashi looked up at Gai. Apparently he had been thinking about the fight.
"Huh? You said something, Gai?" Kakashi looked confusedly at Gai, trying to remember what he had said. Gai fell to the floor.
"As expected from such a cool rival! I will beat you one day, Kakash—"
"Urusë! (Shut up!) Now's not the time! We must go and help Naruto! Sakura told me about the fight, and she's rounding up Naruto's bodyguards as we speak. We must act quickly!"
Kakashi looked up at Tsunade. "And what, exactly, is your plan?" Kakashi looked as laid back as ever. Apparently, Tsunade took it offensively.
"Oh, shut up, Hatake Kakashi." He immediately sat up, a look on his face indescribable, as it had never been seen before. There was a tone in Tsunade's voice that made him uneasy.
"We must do whatever we can in order to stop Sasuke. Let's hope Naruto's still alive right now." Tsunade stated the problem, firm voice keeping steady, though she was frightened.
Kakashi raised his hand to her, halting her speech. "No. We can't interfere in this fight, Tsunade-sama. We have to let things fall into place." Kakashi stood up, looked through the hole Jiraiya was blown through, and looked over at the Stadium that seemed to radiate with chakra for miles. "You see, Naruto is an exceptionally powerful young man. Believe it or not, he's a descendant of an Uchiha and a Hyuuga. These two, the Uchiha and Hyuuga, were secretly seeing each other, as the Hyuuga family didn't like the idea of one of them marrying outside the clan. So they began to see each other more and more. Their bond grew very nicely. Then, their baby was born. The odd thing is, it looked absolutely nothing like them. He was every opposite trait as they were, only he had a new bloodline limit, not known to anyone in the world." Everyone listened in awe. Tsunade had a very important question, scratching at her to find the answer.
"Kakashi. How exactly do you know this stuff? It seems odd."
"Well, you see. When you overuse the Shuujanzanshu no Jutsu, for some reason, it's able to upgrade your chakra within your eyes. It takes a few minutes to get used to, but your eyesight will get extremely better, and if you have a bloodline limit, it will increase it's power, possibly 10-fold, judging by how many times you use the Jutsu. I had overused it, in a fight against Itachi. He had no idea what the Jutsu did to your eyes. It allowed me to obtain…" Kakashi lifted his forehead protector, revealing one Sharingan eye, only it looked much, much different. "The Mangekyou Sharingan!" There was a moment of silence as they saw his newly formed Sharingan.
"Anyways, back to the story. They couldn't have anyone know about the baby, so they gave it an entirely different name: Naruto Uzumaki. But then the day came when the Nine-Tailed Fox attacked Konoha. They needed a newborn, and just then, someone happened to walk by with Naruto. They pleaded to use Naruto as the container. Finally, the carrier obliged, worried to their heart's content. The fox was sealed inside Naruto, and it delayed the workings over his Bloodline Limit. It was going to start the day he became 18 after the delay, but because he's been overusing the Jutsu, it's going to begin today." Everyone had their minds full of what could happen when the Bloodline Limit activated. As they wondered, the bodyguards of Naruto appeared. Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Temari, Ten-Ten, Hinata, Neji, Lee, and Sakura. Kakashi took his time, restating the story he had just told. Shikamaru nodded knowingly, as most of the others just lost themselves in their thoughts.
Sasuke, running towards Naruto with his Chidori charged, began to wonder what the hell Naruto was doing, staring at the floor like that. He shook the thought out of his head, and continued to speed up. He jumped, aiming the Chidori at Naruto's back, where he would be hurt probably the most severely if he was hit. He was 2 yards away, hand in front of him. 1 yard. 2 feet. 1 foot. 6 inches. His Chidori stopped, seemingly hitting an invisible barrier.
"What the hell?" Sasuke threw in more Chakra, into the ball of lightning that seemed to darken to a near violet color. He thrusted forward with more power into it, but only seemed to be hit backwards by another invisible force. He thought it was Naruto moving at an incredible speed, but he still stood there, only he no longer stared at the floor. Sasuke was getting beat by unstoppable nothingness. He kept getting hit, moving backwards up into the air by nothing. His Chidori dissipated. He activated the Mangekyou, hopefully not wanting to use the level above that, and he could now see the chakra being sent out. He couldn't really miss it, because it was being sent out like nonstop tidal waves from Naruto's body. It was a mixture of colors, possibly red, white… Black. He'd never seen this type of chakra. For the first time in the battle, he feared Naruto.
"Naruto, what the hell is this?" Sasuke demanded an answer, but only got a terrifying look. Naruto seemed to have grown longer fangs, his nails lengthening as well. But the most terrifying thing he saw… were his eyes. They were flashing colors, red, black, white, and sometimes switching to his normal sky blue color. Veins popped up from the side of his eyes. They seemed to be vaguely familiar to Sasuke. No…He thought. Not the Byakugan! But wait. Red and Black? What the hell is red and bla— Sasuke's eyes widened. He backed away from Naruto a few more yards.
Naruto looked at him, eyes still flashing. The veins disappeared to the side of his left eye, but remained on the right side. His left eye flashed red, black, and blue, as his right eye was merely flashing white and blue. His chakra began to increase even more immensely than before. It was beating Sasuke senseless. It was difficult to even stand. He merely kept a foot behind him to push forward against it. Pieces of the ground created by the Shuujanzanshu no Jutsu had begun to float, but in the end, being destroyed by the heavy weight of the huge chakra level. His eyes' flashing began to slow, but the blue began to show up less. His right eye, it stayed plain white, veins to the side of it. The Byakugan. His left eye, it had stayed red and black. It was split down the middle. Red on the left side of it, black on the right. His Sharingan seemed to be unique to Naruto, unheard of to even the Uchiha clan. Once again, he was frightened by Naruto.
Footsteps came, and judging by the footsteps, there were about 13 people: Tsunade, Kakashi, Gai, Lee, Sakura, Ino, Chouji, Temari, Shikamaru, Temari, Neji, and Hinata. Jiraiya was limping a few yards behind.
Ehh…most of you are probably like, smiling, mouth slightly ajar. Haha. Anyways, not one of my best qualities, I was RUSHED. -Stares at bobbetter- Anyways, stay tuned for the 3rd installment of the Trilogy!
