Dragon's Bane

Chapter 3: Preliminaries end

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor will I ever.

Summary: When Orochimau places the five-pronged seal on Naruto it creates a chain reaction. The fusion of Naruto's chakra and the Kyuubi's from the damaged Death God Seal creates a new bloodline unlike any other. Response to Brown Phantom's "Hidden Bloodline Challenge".

**Hey** Flashback

"Gokakyu no Jutsu" Jutsu name being called.

A/N: Now that that's all out of the way on with the story.

Ino decided that she would end this jutsu as quickly as possible. She made her family's special jutsus hand sign the minute the signal was given to begin. "Shintenshin no Jutsu." Ino said as both her and Kin slumped to the ground.

Kin was the first to stand and to everyone's surprise she raised her hand. "Proctor I forfeit." Kin said.

"Winner Yamanaka Ino." Hayate said as Ino released her family jutsu and walked back up to the observation area with a smug look on her face.

The board started scrolling through names again. The first one it stopped on was Uchiha Sasuke. The second name was Kabuto's teammate Akado Yoroi. Sasuke walked down to the arena floor with a cocky smirk on his face.

-Observation area-

Naruto looked down at the arena frowning slightly. "Sasuke's being overconfident. This is gonna end badly." He said.

"Yea right Naruto Baka. Sasuke is gonna mop the floor with this guy." Sakura said only to see Kakashi shaking his head.

"Naruto is right. Any ninja who is over confident underestimates their opponent. When you underestimate your opponent you end up losing." Kakashi said watching the battle.

-Arena Floor-

Sasuke was not fairing well. This freak he was fighting could absorb people's Chakra. Not only that but the weird seal on his neck was messing with his ability to use jutsu. Sasuke decided to trick his opponent and use the technique he copied from Lee and Naruto. His opponent fell for his taunt and charged at him.

Sasuke smirked and kicked him in the chin. He then used the shadow of the dancing leaf and launched him higher. He kicked him higher and punched him higher and then swung his leg around in an Axe kick for the final attack. "I'm not done yet. Shishi Rendan." Sasuke said slamming his enemy into the ground with extreme force.

-Back in the Observation area-

Naruto was pissed off. He was gripping the bars extremely hard and growling. Smoke was rising from where he gripped the bar. "That bastard he stole my technique." Naruto growled gripping the bar tighter causing it to melt.

Kakashi walked over to Sasuke as he was heading back up the stairs and grabbed him by the shoulders and started to lead him away. "Come with me. We need to get you checked out and have a chat." Kakashi said.

The next match, which was Kiba vs. Sakura, was a sad battle. Kiba beat Sakura without even really trying. He didn't even need Akamaru's help to take her down.

The match after that was Zaku vs. Shino. The sound ninja tried to use the tubes in his arms to blast Shino away but Shino stopped that by clogging the tubes with bugs causing Zaku's arms to explode.

-Back in the Arena-

After Shino's battle was Hyuuga Neji vs. Hyuuga Hinata. Hinata looked extremely nervous while Neji was sneering at her.

Hinata looked at Neji. "N-nii-chan let's h-have a g-good fight." Hinata said sliding into her family's stance. Neji did the same thing not losing the sneer.

"You should give up Hinata-Sama. The fates have already that today you will lose this battle." Neji said.

Hinata looked up and caught sight of Naruto she saw that he was smiling encouragingly. Hinata turned back to Neji activating her bloodline. "I c-cant lose not i-in front of the p-person I love." Hinata said confidently.

Neji just scoffed at her and charged as soon as the proctor gave them the order to start. Hinata and Neji both started trading blows in their family's style. The difference in their style of attacking was blindingly obvious. Hinata was gentle and was trying to avoid doing any major damage. Neji on the other hand was attacking to kill.

Hinata gracefully danced out of the way of one of Neji's attacks. She then changed her stance a bit. Everyone saw Neji jump back at this change.

"Where did you learn that technique?" Neji asked obviously being cautious.

"E-even if otou-san t-thinks I'm a f-failure I'm still p-part of the m-main branch." Hinata said moving quickly and striking almost to fast to see. At the end of the attack Neji was on one knee panting and glaring at Hinata.

"I…won't…lose…. to…someone…like…you." Neji panted out trying to stand up. Unfortunately for Neji he didn't have the strength to stand up.

"Winner Hyuuga Hinata." Hayate said.

-Observation area-

Naruto walked over to the stairs to congratulate Hinata. "Way to go Hinata-chan I knew that you could do it." Naruto said smiling at Hinata.

Hinata instantly turned crimson and started to tap her fingers together nervously. "T-thank y-you N-Naruto-k-kun." Hinata stuttered out. Naruto just smiled and nodded to her before turning and walking back over to where Sakura was.

-Sasuke's Hospital room-

Kakashi sighed while looking at Sasuke. The last Uchiha was being particularly moody at the moment. "Sasuke you know your dad's cousin Obito was my teammate. He and I were rivals just like you and Naruto are. But unlike you Obito didn't see everything as a competition. He believed in teamwork and helping his teammates. He's actually the one that gave me his Sharingan."

"Tch well Obito was a loser. He was a disappointment to the Uchiha clan and deserved the death that he got." Sasuke said smirking. His expression changed though when he saw the rage in Kakashi's visible eye.

"That's enough Sasuke. From this moment on I do not see you as a student. Regardless of who your opponent is it's up to you to get your own trainer." Kakashi said before starting to walk out.

"What you can't do that. Especially if your gonna waste your time with that loser Naruto." Sasuke said. He didn't have time to regret as Kakashi charged at him and slammed him into the wall.

"Listen here Genin you don't get to make demands. I am a jonin I outrank not to mention that I'm stronger then you. You are a disgrace." Kakashi said dropping Sasuke and walking out.

-Back at the Arena-

After Hinata's battle was Shikamaru vs. Tenten. Tenten won the match do to Shikamaru forfeiting since it would be 'to troublesome to fight a girl.' That however didn't stop the angry Tenten from stabbing a kunai in his knee.

After that it was Kankuro vs. Misumi. At first it looked like Misumi was going to be declared the winner but after Kankuro was revealed to be a puppet the leaf ninja was beaten easily after being captured and having every bone in his body except for his neck broken.

After that battle was Lee vs. Gaara. At the beginning of the battle Lee was winning do to his superior speed. However in the end Gaara was able to capture Lee with his sand and defeat him by breaking his leg and arm.

The final match was Choji vs. Dosu. Dosu beat Choji using the sound-manipulating gauntlet on his wrist.

After that everyone drew numbers for who would face who in one month. The match ups were:

Naruto vs. Kiba

Hinata vs. Tenten

Ino vs. Dosu

Gaara vs. Kankuro

Sasuke vs. Shino

Naruto walked to the hospital after the match ups were announced. He needed to talk to Kakashi sensei about training. He met him on his way out of the hospital.

"Kakashi-sensei I need help training for my match against Kiba in a month." Naruto said smiling.

"Alright Naruto go to your apartment and pack supplies for one month. I'm going to talk to Hokage-sama about letting us train outside the village for a month." He said eye smiling at the former blond. Naruto just nodded and ran home. With that Kakashi used the body flicker to go to the Hokage's office.

-Hokage's Office-

The Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked to see Kakashi appear in his office. "Kakashi san can I help you with something?" He asked looking at the jonin.

"Hokage-sama I would like your permission to take Naruto out of the village for one month for training. I would also like to have the scroll containing the Sanshouuo Yoroi." He said causing the third's eyes to widen.

"I will grant permission for you to take Naruto outside of the village for training but why is it that you want the Sanshouuo Yoroi?" He asked looking at Kakashi.

"I have a theory that Naruto's changes are the result of a bloodline. Also it seems to have given Naruto a fire element chakra affinity. The Sanshouuo Yoroi was created for fire elemental ninjas. Even though others couldn't control it I think that Naruto can. Also some of Naruto's new attacks have Sanshouuo in them." Kakashi explained.

The Hokage nodded and handed Kakashi a form before opening a vault behind the Fourth's picture and pulling out a sealed scroll. "Here is the permission for you to leave the village with Naruto. This scroll contains the Sanshouuo Yoroi. You can give it to Naruto but only after you have taught him about Elemental manipulation and he has shown proficient control in it." The old kage said.

"Thank you Hokage-sama. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go get my student." Kakashi said disappearing with the body flicker.

A/N: Ok there is the end of this chapter and the end of the preliminaries. I know that a lot of things are different and that there isn't a lot of detail but I wanted to get through this as quick as possible. Also the abilities of the Sanshouuo won't be shown until the finals of the Chunin exam.
