Hey I'm back form the dead, or I have been back already and was just on vacation. Well anyway this is the fixed version of the first chapter, with a Beta reader this time, all thanks to you. Anyway on with the chapter.

Chapter one

Naruto watched the fight between Hinata and Neji with growing anger towards the latter because of the attitude Neji was showing all through the fight. The anger has even grown to a point that he was considering dropping his 'mask' and beating the shit out of Neji. Those were his thoughts before everything went red as he saw Neji go in for a death strike at a defenseless Hinata.

"Fuck the mask, Neji is not leaving this place alive" Naruto muttered as he disappeared from the balcony.

Appearing down in the area along with the other Jounin, but unlike the Jounin who chose to restrain Neji, he chose to rather punch Neji straight in the face sending him back a bit.

"What the hell is wrong with your attitude?! Is that stick so far up your ass that it has blinded you?" Naruto shouted at Neji, who was getting up, trying to get his head to stop spinning.

After calming down and getting his vision to see straight again, Neji glared at Naruto saying "What is it to you? What right do you have to ridicule me you peasant? Do not speak to me like you know me."

Neji looked at Hinata who was getting checked on by multiple Medical Nin and her sensei.

"Either way it looks like the main branch will always get the best treatment, typical" Neji sneered.

The look on Neji's face and his comment were both more than enough to push Naruto off the edge.

"Okay that's it, Neji is getting the beating of the lifetime and no one is stopping me." Naruto thought in his head.

Just as Naruto was about to charge Neji, a hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"Calm down Naruto, if you fight him now without permission, you could be disqualified form the exam. You already fought so just calm down" Kakashi said from behind Naruto.

Naruto looked up at Kakashi for a second before he shrugged off his hand.

"Naruto wa-" Kakashi never finished due to Naruto speaking to the Procter.

"Hey Procter, mind if I have a fight with Neji?" This statement not only surprised the Procter but everyone in the audience.

"NARUTO WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING? JUST STOP THIS NONSCENSE AND GET BACK UP HERE YOU IDIOT!" Sakura screamed out after hearing what Naruto had said.

Naruto ignored her as he looked at the Procter for his answer.

"Well, you both have fought already, and both of you already have your wins to continue, what reason would there be for you two to fight."

Naruto thought for a few seconds before answering, "If you let us fight in an official fight, then I bet my win on this match, if Neji wins than I am disquilifed from the exam, but if I win then nothing changes and Neji is not disqualified. It's a win win situation for everyone."

This surprised everyone yet again, especially the people that know Naruto personally, "Is that really Naruto? I half expected him to rant and whine about fighting him but instead he though up a compromise that might just work. Interesting what have you kept from me Naruto" thought the third Hokage as he looked out at the arena.

The Procter was about to argue that such a deal is against the rules but was interrupted by the third Hokage himself, "It's alright Hayate, I allow this fight to happen but Naruto the conditions you set are to be kept true, so if you lose then you are out of the exam do I make myself clear."

After hearing that a huge smile came onto Naruto's face as he gave the Hokage a thumbs up. The Hokage seeing this just sighed before nodding at Hayate to start the match.

Seeing the nod Hayate just let out a shallow breath and a few coughs before shouting

"Alright then, seeing as the Hokage has approved of it, the fight between Naruto and Neji shall commence."

Neji looked happy at the turn of events, seeing as he was getting the chance to beat the utter shit out of his 'cousins' love interest.

"This is going to be a quick match Procter, don't go too far" Neji said letting out a sinister smile.

Naruto finally turned to Neji, and once seeing his smile let out a smile of his own, but this smile was more of fox like one. But this smile, to Neji, looked a lot more sinister than mischievous. Suddenly a shiver went down Neji's back as he thought

"Why do I feel like I've made a grave mistake? No matter this loser is not going to stand a chance against me, fate has decreed it so."

Seeing no resistance from either fighter Hayate raised his hand to start the match, "Both fighters ready?" seeing both nod.

Taking on final look at both teens he noticed Naruto rubbing and twisting something under his jacket near his hands, "Interesting, BEGIN!" he shouted as he jumped back at the right moment because both boys, right at his word, shot toward each other sending out an attack which hit each other in the center.

Neji was surprised to see a fist block his gentle first strike, but he did not let this bother him as he quickly brought back that arm only to let out a few more chakra filled strikes. Yet again he was surprised as all of his strikes were blocked by a punch from Naruto.

"He is able to keep up to me, interesting but useless as his arms should be getting numb from getting hit multiple times" Neji thought as he jumped back a bit. He was shocked to see that Naruto had followed him back with his fist cocked back ready to hit him.

"W-What?" was all Neji was able to let out before he was punched back into the wall by Naruto. He hit the wall with a load bang from the force of Naruto's punch.

"Was his punch chakra infused? How does he know how to do that, and to such a level" Neji thought as he got up from the floor wiping off the blood form his lips. He looked out at Naruto to see him and three clones standing there, the middle was waving his hand a bit.

"So the middle is the real one huh" Neji muttered as he heard the middle Naruto shout to him, "You know that head of yours is really hard, almost broke my hand from that punch."

This enraged Neji, seeing as Naruto was not taking this fight seriously, with a battle cry he shot off towards Naruto, hands blazing with chakra, intent to shut the blonde boy up for good. All three Naruto's smirked at the charging Neji and got ready to receive any attack the Hyuga would dish out.

"Neji don't! Why are you so hot headed? Not very youthful of you at all" Gai said as he watched Neji charge Naruto out of rage.

"But I have to say Kakashi, I did not notice it at first but your student is very well trained, while Neji was attacking before he blocked all of his strikes with a chakra infused fist, nullifying the gentle fist strikes that Neji was trying to give out. Did you teach him that?"

Kakashi was going to ignore Gai like always but thought differently when he saw that Gai was serious about his question, sighing he says "No, I did not teach him that it was all on his own, I'm just as surprised you are. I knew he had more potential and was stronger than he let on but I never knew he would be able to take on a Hyuga this easily."

Gai looked confused at what Kakashi said last, "What do you mean Kakashi, it is not that easy for him, he can't even attack seeing as all he does is defend."

Kakashi sighed yet again and said "You are not looking hard enough then, I guess that is why your student turned out this way. You never saw that his anger for his family has been growing all this time."

Gai would have gotten mad at Kakashi's statement but a glitter on the arena got his attention. When he looked closer he was shocked into silence for a few seconds.

"Kakashi, what has your student learned, to be able to do this while facing a Hyuga?" Gai asked.

Kakashi honestly looked like he did not know what to say until he simply said "To be honest Gai, I don't know… But what I do know is that your student has made a mistake in making Naruto mad."

Gai looked at the arena sadly as he thought "Am I really so blind to my own students? I'm sorry Neji, I promise that I will try harder from now on or I will run twenty laps around the village and if I can't do that then…"

Back down in the arena Neji was getting more annoyed by the second, none of his attacks were landing and even the blocked ones were not having any effect. He was able to get rid of the two clones but that did not help seeing that the real Naruto still did not let him land any hits. He was about to launch a strike to Naruto's head, but was forced to jump back as a fist suddenly appeared from his left.

Just barley jumping back, Neji did not see another clone appear next to him kicking him in the stomach sending him back a bit. Neji landed in a crouch holding onto his stomach and lunch

"Such a powerful kick, I can't get hit by that again or else it's over for me, and the clones, I thought I got rid of them, when did he make more. More and more this is not looking good, but how, fate said that I will win not this orphaned loser."

Neji got up to see Naruto stretching his arms to his sides, after finishing his stretching Naruto spread his arms wide showing to the surprise of everyone in the arena multiple glittering ninja wire.

"I think it's time I wrap this fight up, don't you think? I thought this fight would be more fun but you let your anger and suffering control you too much, blinding you to everything else around you." Naruto said with a bored expression on his face.

At Naruto's statement Neji got even angrier, "What the hell do you know loser? I have the Byakugan! I have no bind spots and I see everything! You said that my anger binds me, but what the hell do you know of suffering? Huh!" Neji screamed as he ran toward Naruto with greater speeds than before.

Naruto did not look fazed at the charging Neji, all he did was lift his hand saying "I know a lot more than you think about suffering." All of a sudden Neji found himself tripping and crashing into the ground.

Neji got up and looked around with a bewildered expression on his face, "What was that just now" he said looking at Naruto who had not moved at all.

"This is your loss" Naruto simply said as he swung his arm down and running towards Neji.

Neji was about to jump back but found himself stuck in place

"I can't move, wait no its more like something is constricted around me" Neji thought before Naruto appeared in front of him and with a quick hand seal three clones popped into existence. The first went up and kicked Neji up into the air. The second jumped off the first clones back and kicked Neji again sending him further up.

In the air, Neji was able to get a good look at the area, and as such was able to see the ninja wire everywhere in the arena, "So that was how he was able to do that, he controlled me throughout the fight and I let him do it."

As soon as Neji finished his thought the real Naruto appeared above him and without waiting a second he slammed both of his hands down onto Neji's stomach sending him sailing toward the ground making a small crater.

Neji was barely able to get up as there was too much pain in his stomach from the hit Naruto gave him. Looking up he saw Naruto running toward him, knowing that he was about to be knocked out and given no mercy one thing came to mind.

"But I was going to keep this until the finals at least. But with the way this fight is going I have no choice, if I am to have any chance at winning then I have to use it" thought Neji before he stood up straight and lowered his upper half a bit, ignoring the pain in his stomach.

Naruto saw what Neji was doing and got a shocked look on his face, "He is able to do that, shit this just got more troublesome" he muttered as Neji spun around creating a blue dome of chakra while screaming "Rotation."

Naruto not being able to get away in time got hit by the chakra dome, sending him back across the arena. Neji stopped the Rotation and seeing that he sent back Naruto, looked pleased but that soon disappeared when that Naruto burst into smoke, as the real one appeared behind Neji.

Neji watched as Naruto appeared behind himself and thought "Shit, using two right after the other is not a good idea, but what other choices do I have."

Naruto seeing that Neji was about to launch another Rotation, did not look worried as he smirked looking pleased on the other hand. As the Rotation started up, Naruto brought up his hands bringing up ninja wire all around the forming dome of chakra. When the ninja wire were in the air Naruto brought in his hands ordering the wire to constrict on the dome, passing right through the dome and wrapping around the spinning Neji.

With that the technique was canceled showing a surprised Neji, "H-How did you do that the Rotation is supposed to be the ultimate defense."

Naruto stood there with his hands still facing down and said "Simple, your second Rotation was weaker than your first and there is a grave weakness with the Rotation, it is made by spinning and releasing chakra all throughout your body, but by doing so you leave small openings in the dome, so small that usually it would not matter. That is to anyone who is not skilled in ninja wire." Naruto finished with a smile.

Neji was about to talk but was interrupted by Naruto jumping into the air and spinning around, bringing the wrapped up Neji into the air as well and spinning him around. When he had enough speed Naruto released Neji from the ninja wire, sending him crashing into the ground, creating a bigger crater than before. But not being done there Naruto dropped down to Neji and kicked him into the wall, embedding his body into the wall.

Everyone in the arena watched as the person they all thought was going to win was being crushed mercilessly. They could not believe that the dead last and weakest of the graduating class can beat someone who was called a prodigy.

Naruto was not done though as he quickly took out a kunai with an explosive tag on it and threw it at Neji.

Neji saw the Kunai coming and at the same time saw his death coming. "This cannot be happening, I can't die yet."

Suddenly the Kunai stopped right in front of Neji's face, just barley bringing out blood from his forehead. Looking behind the kunai he saw Naruto there holding the kunai.

"You're right. You can't die yet, you're not a bad guy at least not that bad of a guy. I know that you have suffered in your life, what with losing your father to a scandal and having a brand burned to your forehead for all of your life. But what you need to understand is that you are not the only one who has ever suffered, someone is suffering right in front of your face and you can't see it. Once you get that stick out of your ass and become less of a 'fate driven' asshole come find me and we can have a rematch." Naruto finished his mini speech to Neji with a big genuine smile.

Neji looked confused for a while before he remembered his father's words and all the times Hinata had tried to be nice to him and all he did was brush her off and be rude to her. He even tried to kill the person he was supposed to protect.

Neji looked down as his hair overshadowed his eyes, "I can't even protect my cousin, I have been blind this whole time, and I never realized it. I have been such an idiot, I hope Hinata does not hate me for what I did." Neji thought in a depressed tone.

Seeing the sad look on Neji's face Naruto sighed before putting the kunai away and bending down and slinging one of Neji's hands around his shoulders and helping him stand up. "You know Hinata does not hate you I can guarantee that, it's just not the person that she is."

At the sudden movement Neji looked up with a shocked expression before saying "What are you doing?"

"What does it look like I am helping you get to the medical ward" Naruto said simply as he walked toward the exit of the arena, not paying attention to the gossiping crowd or Hayate shouting out the winner.

"But… Why, why help me I thought you did not like me" Neji said after a few second of silence.

Naruto looked at Neji for a second before speaking in a playful tone, "Oh I do hate you, at least the current you. There is time for you change, like I said you are not a bad person just misguided. Even with that stick up your ass you are still a Konoha shinobi and I always help my comrades, even if they are brooding assholes."

After he finished talking Naruto had to dodge a slow swing form Neji over the last comment, he was afraid that he had made Neji mad, that is until he heard a weak laugh coming from beside him. Looking over he saw Neji with a small smile on his face chuckling softly. After seeing that he also started to laugh before Neji started to cough a bit.

"Come on, let's get you to the med ward I think you may have broken a few ribs." Naruto said receiving a nod form Neji.

Both boys did not notice two shadows at the end of the hallway they just exited. Suddenly two men stepped out of the shadows.

"You know I have never seen Neji laugh ever since I became his sensei. I guess I have to thank Naruto in more ways than one for helping out one of my students. And you as well Kakashi, you opened my eyes that I have not been mindful of my students as I should have been." Gai said leaning on the wall looking at Kakashi across the hallway.

Kakashi looked almost surprised at the sullen look on Gai's face, "You have nothing to thank me for, Naruto did everything I just commented on some things. Though I now know there is more to my students then I one knew, at least in Naruto's case that is."

Gai chuckled at the comment before saying, "Yes that is true, and well don't you think we should get back you have to draw the opponents for two of your students now."

All Kakashi did was nod, and with one last look down the hallway that Naruto and Neji went down, he followed Gai back to the arena.

Well that is one chapter down, three more to go before all of you guys can finally see what's new, and the conclusion to the sound attack, which to those who have read the old chapters all I want to tell you guys is that the conclusion will be amazing and twist full I think. Either way the next three fixed chapters will be posted in the coming weeks as soon as me and my Betta reader are done with them. Till then I guess.
