Hey everyone don't kill me!!

X

I know I know, long ass time between updates and all yatta yatta. But I just haven't had the time, real busy with life and crap, college, dog, new car and work, but I am trying.

X

Besides I wanted to make each fight a little interesting. Truth be told I completely forgot what I had planned for both stories, so it took me a long time to re-plan, remember everything I had. I had about 2 thirds of the chapter done, about a week after the last post. 

X

X

X

Sorry though, I am hopefully going to get another post up quite soon.

X

X

Also I am NOT a professional writer, never will be. I write these stories because I have a good imagination and like to pt things into perspective for others. If there is a grammar mistake that you on your own can not figure with the big pink thing in your head, than you should see a doctor.

X

And I' sorry but one thing has been bothering me. If one of the readers don't like a part of my story and say something like. "That would never happen, or that's overkill. Or start lecturing me on what elements, or what one person can do with this element or that element would not do that, he would have to train more, he doesn't have the control, or you know how they go."

X

I don't mind reviews or flames, but I hate people that tell me I wrote something wrong. Do you have a bachelor's degree in Naruto? Or even a certificate of "I know that this wouldn't happen??"

X

Also I can't stand people that talk about my story when they have written nothing.

X

Stop and think

X

This entire story you are reading is made up and is based on an entirely made up story that gets published so kids, teenagers and some adults can read and enjoy.

X

And this is what I thought would happen or would be cool.

X

Besides are you an expert, is it written anywhere what the main elements are?????. In each different anime, there is either a three-element system with fire, water and rock, 4- element with air, or a 5-element system with air and lightning added in.

X

I mean jeez remember pokemon, airbender.

X

Here's a trick. If you read something in my story you don't like do this.

X

Put your hand over the part you didn't like and ignore it, use your imagination and add your own part to it. That's what this entire website is, IMAGINATION.

X

X

Of course I don't mean any of this, just had to get it out of my system, bothering me since I started these stories. Enjoy

X

ON WITH THE STORY!!! WOOOOOOOO

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

DUNH

DUNH DUNH

DUNH DUNH DUNH

DUNH DUNH DUNH DUNH DUNH DUNH DUNH DUNH

And a big shark jumps out of the water and bites a limb off. HAHAHAHAHAHAH had to add it. 

Real story now hehhehehheheh

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The team from wave arrived at the tower first, beating Gaara's old score by only one minute.

"Hehe I gotta tell that to Gaara when we get back!!" Naruto shouted

Only you would do something like that Kyuubi said

"I know, I am hilarious" Naruto said aloud

"Sure" Ino announced

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

3 days later

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After everyone arrived at the tower that was going to make it in the 6 days, Tsunade called everyone to the chamber for the preliminaries.

"Once again, we must have a preliminary round to decide who makes it to the finals"

"You and your opponent will be selected randomly"

The screen flicked on and began to hum

Naruto of Wave vs Ryu of Grass

"Yes I'm first this time" Naruto said and jumped into the arena before anyone else even noticed.

"Wow he's really excited" Lee commented and Ino nodded

"These wave guys are weird" Ryu said from the balcony before walking down like a normal person.

Kakashi walked to the middle of the chamber, with his book in hand, both opponents ready? He asked and received two nods.

"Alright Begin" He said and started to walk away

Ryu formed a seal and chakra accumulated in his hands. Naruto got into a stance and Vulcan ducked a little and clenched harder to Naruto's shoulder.

A clone of Ryu exploded from the ground behind Naruto and had a fist reared back. Naruto turned and slammed a fist into its face, forcing the clone to turn to mud before Naruto's fist stopped moving forward.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Impressive" the female rock sensei commented

"Yea, all of them are really strong, those from wave" Ami said happily as she looked to Naruto then Ino and Lee and the strange old man decked out in red behind them.

"They are also our friends…"Jack started

"And comrades" Rizu said happily

Interesting their sensei thought

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ryu was amazed and threw a kunai and jumped back. Vulcan leapt from Naruto's shoulder and flapped his wings a few times to hover in one place. The kunai sailed harmlessly over them both. Flame seemed to grow out of Vulcan's body as he opened his mouth.

Raging Inferno

A vortex of fire spewed forth and Ryu made an earth shield and hid behind it. The flames continued and caused everyone in the area to cover their eyes and look away. This continued for 30 seconds. When it finally died down..

Vulcan was still in the same spot in the air with fire dancing around him.

There was evidence of two earth walls being put up and destroyed

And an earth dome which was all black from being singed.

The earth dome began to crumble slowly.

Everyone began to lean over the edge of the rail.

Naruto and 7 clones were all standing around an exhausted Ryu with a kunai at various points on his body.

"Wow" everyone thought

"Overkill" Ino said and put her head down.

"Do you yield?" The Naruto on Ryu's shoulder asked

"Of course, I surrender" He said as all the clones dispersed themselves and the real Naruto was no where to be seen.

Vulcan flew back to the railings and landed on…Naruto's shoulder

"When did he get there?" Hanabi asked

"I don't know" Sakura answered.

"Very good Naruto" Lee acknowledged while Ino gave him a kiss.

"I know I am awesome" Naruto said and Ino bopped him on the head

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hanabi of Leaf vs Kuro of Sand

They both entered the arena and looked at each other none saying a word. Hanabi was dressed similar to Neji, except a little more feminine. Kuro was wearing black and had an object on his back just like Kankuro.

"Begin" was all Kakashi said

Kuro threw the object at Hanabi who jumped to the side. She charged Kuro who jumped back and unveiled his chakra strings. The puppet came surging back to his defense and launched a poison blade at Hanabi, who stopped her charge.

"How disrespectful, hiding behind puppets" Hanabi said with venom but Kuro just smiled

"Kankuro-sama made this one just for me." Kuro said

It was a puppet shaped like a gorilla, very bulky, not thin like Kankuro's.

The ape lurched forward and brought its hands down in a hammer right where Hanabi once stood. Hanabi spun and placed a palm strike to the puppets body where the puppet was unfazed.

"Hanabi, your jyuuken won't work on puppets you have to hit the user!!" Sakura shouted

"Wow, what an idiot and I Thought Naruto was dumb" Lee said

"Hey" Naruto yelled

Hanabi ignored the remark and charged again, this time revealing a kunai and striking the puppet in the arm. Hanabi obviously was better in speed and reflexes, and continued to dodge each strike

"Well George, this isn't working" Kuro said as he recalled his puppet

"Guess we have to unveil the secret strategy" He said and sent George forward again, this time following him in the charge.

Hanabi bolted forward and struck the puppet, she turned to the side just like before and made to send a strike to disable the chakra strings. Instead she was met with a fist to the face courtesy of Kuro.

"Nice huh, my best style" Kuro commented boasting on him jumping into the battle.

George kicked Hanabi into the ground and Hanabi rolled to side dodging the follow up strike from the ape. Kuro landed a hit on the rolling Hanabi and sent her further along the ground. Hanabi ignored the pain and got back up. She looked at her charging opponents and smirked. She settled into a stance with one hand forward and one backward.

"That's is Neji's …..

Heavenly Spin

Hanabi twisted and spun violently, creating a small dome of chakra repelling Kuro and the puppet back.

She finished and stood there panting, she had nowhere near as much chakra as Neji or Hiashi and this technique used a lot of chakra. Kuro lay on this back smirking while George was unscathed. Kuro sat up and smiled

"Let's give it one more go George" Kuro said

Kuro threw a kunai and Hanabi grabbed it and tossed it aside. George came down from above and various clicks were heard. Hanabi stepped to the side, stuck a kunai into George's side and charged right for Kuro who was waiting. Kuro jumped over Hanabi to behind George.

"Great match. "Kuro said as he raised his hand.

"I forfeit" he said and walked over to George and began checking him for any damage.

"Hm, a loser knows when he is beaten!!!" Hanabi said smugly

"Your left leg and right shoulder" Kuro said without turning around

Embedded into Hanabi were two black Senbon. Hanabi quickly pulled them out and started to yell but was stopped by Kuro speaking.

"Gaara-sama said that it is better to leave your opponent knowing that they were weaker than you then to kill them, especially with allies" Kuro said as he sealed George away.

"Why you" Hanabi said and started to move forward, but fell flat on her face.

"You know I didn't even go 50 percent on you" Kuro said as he raised his hand showing chakra strings attached to his hand and Hanabi's feet.

"Why did you forfeit to me then" Hanabi demanded

"Well I am good friends with my teammates, and Gaara-sama said that we should keep our friends close, especially those we want to protect, so I would rather stay with my teammates then be promoted to chunnin" Kuro finished before he jumped back to the railing.

"O and those senbon were poisoned, they will make you have to use the bathroom a lot more" Kuro yelled before he and his teammates burst out laughing hysterically and were soon joined by others in the room. Hanabi marched away mad

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Well he has the skills to become a chunnin" Tsunade commented

"Definitely" Jiraiya said

"Looks like Gaara had a big influence on them three"

"Must have taught them"

"That's what makes me wonder

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I guess Gaara has had an effect on you guys" Naruto said to the sand team.

"Yea, he talked a lot more, even if it was in a monotone way all the time." Kuro said

"Yea he actually laughed one time" Izumo, a teammate of Kuro's said

"It was when Temari-sama hit Kankuro-sensei in the private area and tossed him out the window"

"HAHAHAHHAHAHHAH" Naruto couldn't stop laughing, even after everyone waited for a minute.

"Man I wish they hadn't left" Izumo said

"Well anytime you guys want, just stop by wave, Gaara should be there, he's in charge of defense"

"Really??" the sand team said in unison

"Yea, he's a lot nicer now, still doesn't smile much" Naruto mumbled out as he leaned on his hands

"Yea, that's him" Kuro said

Kakashi just started the next match

Ami of Rock vs. Izumo of Sand

Both contestants walked down to the arena and stood there waiting. Ami was smiling even though she was a little scared as she took a basic defensive stance.

Izumo took out two small fans

"Begin" Kakashi said as he flipped a book in his page.

Cutting Whirlwind

Izumo yelled as soon as Kakashi finished. The vicious wind attacks sped towards Ami who rolled to the side and looked back at the damage done by the attacks. The opposing wall now sported a variety of slashes.

"Well it , seems this will be easy" Ami said as she charged Izumo who jumped back and began again.

Cutting Whirlwind

The attack went right towards Ami who kept on going towards Izumo.

Rock Casing

Ami's body turned brown and she looked like a golem. The attack hit her head on and she was completely unaffected by it.

"This isn't good" Izumo said and rolled to the side as Ami hit the ground where Izumo was standing and left a small crater.

"Let's try a different wind attack"

Great BreakthroughStalactite Barrage

The spears of rock sped right towards Izumo's attack. The stalactites were thrown back towards Ami dodged any of them that got close.

"Man, I thought that I could do this without Fenrir's help" Ami said as she sat on the ground

Dark Brown chakra began to gather in a circle around her.

"Not good, Alright last move I got left" Izumo replied

"Here I come" Ami growled as she sped towards Izumo

Izumo joined his two fans together and reared them back with both hands. Ami ran at him with fist ready

Gale Force Cleaver

The attack seemed like a sonic boom as it raced towards her.

Golem's Agony

The attack once again hit Ami hit her head on and Ami nailed Izumo in the face sending him sliding back.

Izumo raced his hand shakily "I'm done!, nice match girl" He finished as he passed out

"Ami is the winner" Kakashi whispered out

"YAY" Ami said and squealed in delight

"Wow, her mood is different when in battle" Naruto mentioned

"Hmm, that reminds me of someone" Ino

I wonder who I know that is like that?? Vulcan added sarcastically

Yea, he is annoying, but normal when he's in a battle Kyuubi said as he tapped his cane

"Who are you talking about?" Naruto asked

"Yes, I wish to know who you are describing as well?" Lee said

"You know for such strong guys, they sure are idiots" Kuro said

Yes, they never cease to amaze us Vulcan announced.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ok, next match is..

"Kenta of Lightning vs. Rai of Grass"

"Alright I get to eliminate another weakling" Kenta said as he jumped over the railing

"Kenta! Make a good decision" The lightning sensei called out

"Whatever"

"Begin" Kakashi said as he jumped back and watched this fight.

Lightning Bolt

"Wow he didn't waste anytime" Rai mumbled as he rolled and threw three kunai in the process.

Kenta lowered his arm from the attack and moved just out of the way of each kunai. He ran at Rai with his own kunai out and tossed it at Rai. Rai twisted and grabbed it out of the air. After he grabbed it Kenta struck down with a slice from a second kunai.

Rai took out an exploding kunai and threw it at Kenta. He dodged the incoming kunai and ran right towards Rai.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Well, good thinking there" Kakashi noted as Kenta raced towards the injured Rai

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Lightning Fist

Rai turned to dodge and Kenta followed him in his dodge.

"Shit I'm not going to make it" Rai thought as he watched Kenta close in on him

Kenta smashed his fist into Rai's shoulder. He fell to the ground and yelled in pain.

His shoulder was now seeping blood onto the floor.

"Proctor I'm do..

Kenta kicked Rai in the chest and he flew backwards and coughed out more blood. Rai slowly raised his good hand

"I'm done, I

Kenta appeared over Rai again.

Lightning Fist

Lightning Fist

Kenta was surprised when he heard his attack repeated. He saw the proctor of the match with one hand copying his, canceling each other out, and his other holding some orange book.

"I am pretty sure that your opponent surrendered." Kakashi said as he closed his book and eyed Kenta

"I never heard it" Kenta replied still trying to overpower Kakashi

"Really, you were the closest one to him, and you didn't hear him"

"No I didn't I was focused on the match"

'Well the match is over, you won" Kakashi said as he began to lower his hand. Kenta started to push his forward more.

Kenta soon found himself on the ground with Kakashi's lightning fist at Kenta's throat.

"You know, there is a reason I am a jounin" Kakashi said as he released Kenta and walked over to Rai.

"Wow, Kakashi is still pretty good" Ino commented

"Yea, no wonder he is Gai-sensei's eternal rival" Lee said as he pumped a fist

I bet we could take him Vulcan said eyeing Kakashi

"Probably, that Kenta guy seems to only be good with lightning attacks and with his demons chakra" Naruto said as he waved Kenta off as a threat

The lightning sensei jumped down and dragged Kenta back up to the railings

"Next match is………..

"Sasuke of Leaf vs Jack of Rock"

Both of the opponents went to the ring.

"Come on Jack, kick his but" Rizu yelled

"Ino, I think we found someone as happy as Naruto" Lee said

Hey what's wrong with being happy? They both said at the same time

"Nothing" Ami laughed as they turned back to the fight

"Whenever your both ready?"

"Yep"

"Hn"

"Begin"

Two kunai clanged to the ground in the middle of both of them.

"I see that you are pretty quick there," Jack said

"Think you can keep up?" Sasuke said

"Most definitely" Jack replied as he charged forward

Sasuke sent a roundhouse kick at Jack's face. Jack ducked and sprang with an uppercut, catching Sasuke in the jaw sending him flying. Sasuke recoiled and turned it into a handspring as he regained his balance.

"You aren't very strong are you?" Jack asked and Sasuke just grunted and drew a kunai.

"I mean, who gets hit by their opponents first move?"

"You might be quick, but that punch didn't do any damage, I barely felt it"

"I know, I'm not that strong, but I make up for it"

Fire Style Grand Fireball

Jack jumped to the side and threw 4 shuriken. Two flanked him on either side. Sasuke twisted and flipped in midair, but one of the shuriken caught him in the arm.

Sasuke dropped to the ground and yanked the shuriken out and threw it back at Jack in rage. Jack flung his hand out and caught the shuriken on his pointer finger.

"I guess, I should tell you that I am a weapons specialist, best in Rock"

"I doubt it" Sasuke replied

Fire Style: Flowing Snake

A long continuous stream of fire erupted from Sasuke's mouth and chased Jack around the ring before finally catching him in the torso and sending him to the ground. Jack rolled and discarded his now burnt shirt. It revealed multiple seals on Jack's body

"Alright, play time is over" Jack said and tapped his wrists, out popped a pile of shuriken. These were quickly flying towards Sasuke, who did his best to dodge them.

Each time Sasuke made a maneuver and dodged one weapon, another was already in the air heading to where he was going to land. After 3 minutes of this, Jack was out of shuriken and Sasuke was bleeding from numerous cuts on his body.

"I thought you said this was going to be easy" Jack taunted

"So what, I got a scratch"

"Hahaha, you actually have a sense of humor" Jack said

"Hn"

"Ok, weapons, I win, ninjutsu, ahhh, you could do some damage, so lets try close range" Jack said as he threw a kunai at Sasuke preceding his charge.

X

"O watch this, its awesome" Rizu exclaimed

X

Sasuke evaded the kunai and threw a right hook at Jack who swiftly ducked under it and landed a palm strike on sasuke's chest. Sasuke flipped back and Jack followed with his own punch. While his hand was in motion, a poof of smoke enveloped it and a short sword was summoned to his hand. Sasuke couldn't react in time and received a slash down his chest. Sasuke kicked at Jack's side but was blocked by another poof of smoke and now in his other hand was a long staff. The previously used sword was no where to be seen.

Jack landed a good strike to Sasuke's head before the staff disappeared. Sasuke screamed and charged. One step into the charge, Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks. The tip of a katana was touching sasuke's throat.

"Hmm I guess that's it then"

"Grrr"

"I forfeit" Jack said as his sword poofed away and he began to walk back.

"I think Naruto wanted to fight you, so I'll leave you to him" Jack called as he walked up the stairs.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Why do these idiots give up when they have won" Kenta growled

"It makes..

"..no sense" The twins said

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kakashi shrugged and announced Sasuke as the winner.

Sakura of Leaf vs Rin of Grass

Both competitors jumped to the ring.

Sakura started with a kunai while Rin tossed a shuriken. Both dodged the projectiles and charge for a close range taijtsu battle. From the start you could tell that the two had little training in hand to hand fighting. After each landing a bunch of hits on each other, Sakura managed to get two good hits in and Rin fell to the ground and raised her hand and surrender.

Kakashi raised his eye, but then shrugged.

"Winner Sakura of Leaf"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

That was barely academy level fight. I have seen babies fight over a toy better than that. Vulcan said in disbelief of the crappiness of that fight.

"When did you see two babies fighting?" Naruto asked

That's not the point

"Hahahahahah" the group of new friends chuckled as Sakura just glared at them.

Ino of Wave vs. Daiki of Sand

"Yay, my turn" Ino said as she too went up and over the rail.

"Great I get to fight a girl," Daiki said sarcastically as he trudged down the stairs

"Begin"

Ino threw a kunai right of the start and Daiki jumped to the side and launched his own at Ino. Daiki also brought out a fan.

Cutting WhirlwindsWater Cone

Ino spun around and was enveloped in a cone of dark blue water.

You could see as the blades of wind hit the sphere and made a small cut but then was replaced by more water.

Water Whip

Ino stopped spinning and lashed out quickly and caught Daiki on his arm and grabbed the fan and brought it back to Ino.

"No more wind attacks for you" Ino taunted as she waved the fan.

"No matter" Daiki shrugged

Earth Throw

A chunk of rock broke out of the floor and shot towards Ino at a tremendous speed. Ino smirked and activated her water blades and sliced the boulder in halve.

Great Breakthrough

"What?" Ino wondered as she threw her hands up in defense after sensing the attack.

Ino got thrown through the air and into the wall.

"Damn, that hurt" Ino coughed as she slid down the wall.

"As you can see I can execute some wind attacks without a fan, my bloodline" Daiki said as he held up his hand which had wind swirling around it.

"Really, well that makes things really interesting" Ino smirked

"How so?" Daiki inquired

"Are you holding back like, your teammate was?"

"Yea, I am not going to go all out on a girl"

X

X

"Uh-oh" Naruto spoke

"Wrong thing to say to Ino" Lee said as he wiped his face

This is going to be good now

X

X

"How about I make you go all out" Ino asked

"Nahh, I don't think you can" Daiki smirked

X

X

O my god, this guy is digging a grave Kyuubi commented from behind them

X

X

Ino made the seal of the dragon. It began to rain in the chamber, and all of it slowly creeped against the floor towards Ino where it gathered in two circles on either side of her.

Twin Roaring Dragons

The water exploded into two dragons and helixed around each other (think of a piece of DNA) when they got near the ceiling they dove towards Daiki

"Ahhhh Shit" Daiki said as he raised his hands

Aerial Combustion

The air in front of the two dragons exploded and rocked the whole arena. It was now pouring rain on everyone

X

X

"Damn Kids" Tsunade complained as she put her hat on. To keep from getting wet

X

X

"Ready to take me serious?" Ino asked

"I guess" Daiki smirked

"Well, let's go"

Roaring tides

Water began to seep up threw the cracks in the floor and from the entrances.

X

X

"Man she is planning something big if she's gathering all this" Lee said as he slammed his hand on the ground and made a half dome of earth. Naruto stepped under it and motioned for the rock team to gather as well. They silently came under with them and Ami stood next to Lee. Jack and Rizu flanked Naruto on the railing.

X

X

Daiki threw a kunai with an exploding tag at Ino. She waved her hand and a small wave of water rose and gathered the kunai into a small sphere and then it condensed quickly. (Think Gaara's sand when he crushes people) The water expanded rapidly but never broke. It kept the explosion inside it.

Water Bullet

Ino yelled as she threw her hands up. The water that was now circling her began to shoot towards Daiki in basketball-sized shots at random intervals. Daiki continued to dodge everything shot at him.

Cutting Whirlwinds

Ino raised her hand and a wall of water rose up blocking the attack. Both Ino and Daiki smirked as they couldn't see each other.

Tidal Wave

Tornado Strike

Both attacks started out as just swirling energy and chakra around each contestant. Ino dropped the water wall and let her attack go. Daiki released his a second later.

The spinning tornado crashed into the center of the wall of water. The tornado faltered for a moment before wrapping all of the water around it. Daiki was struggling to keep control of the combined attacks. He gained enough control to send it back towards Ino and it crashed into the wall. The entire building shook from the impact.

Daiki put his hands on his knees and began to search for Ino.

A great creaking sound could be heard and everyone looked around for it. The water on the floor froze and captured Daiki's feet. He looked down and made to attack the ice but the ice melted right back into water and shot up and grabbed his hands and feet this time freezing both.

Ino came walking out from the destruction happily with a few bruises.

"Some one was too slow" Ino said happily

"I'm not done yet" Daiki said

"Really? What are you going to do" Ino said as she held her hands behind her back. A rumbling sound was heard and Lee knew what was coming and sealed up his rock dome to only a little viewing place.

A enormous wave of water rose and hovered right behind Ino. It was only a few feet below the ceiling and at least 10 feet thick.

"Now remember, I can turn this to ice."

"That might be a problem" Daiki admitted.

"Alright I forfeit, not enough room here for me anyway" Daiki said

The wave of water fell to the ground and began to seep through the cracks. Kakashi who had moved to the top of the statues head sometime through the match sighed.

"Darn gennin, can't even clean up after themselves." He sighed as he used an earth jutsu to fix the stadium.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Lee of Wave vs Takara of Lightning

Both competitors were in the ring in an instant.

"I will show you my true speed, keep up if you can" Takara bragged as he unfastened weights from his limbs.

All that could be heard was laughing from the wave team.

Your turn Lee Kyuubi called from the guise of the wave sensei. Lee just smiled.

"Begin"

Lee reached down and dropped off his weights. And put them on the ground, not revealing how much they weighed. He began to stretch

"One moment and I will take care of you" Lee said from one of his stretching maneuvers

Takara grew impatient and dashed towards Lee with considerable speed. Lee appeared to where Takara had started from and continued his stretching.

"So you are as fast as me?" Takara said as if he were better.

"There all done" Lee said as he moved to the Iron Fist stance.

"Keep up if you can" Takara said as he began to charge.

Before Takara's foot even reached the ground Lee disappeared and reappeared less than ¼ of a second later and smashed a wicked right hook in the face of Takara, blasting him back into the wall with his own crater that fit perfectly to his size.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"…………"

"Wow"

"Su.. uch strength"

"Yay Go Lee" Ami shouted

"Is he really that strong"

Naruto and Ino just chuckled as they heard the various responses from the other competitors

And you got mad at us for showing off Vulcan whined before he ducked a swipe from Ino

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Lee smiled and then walked back and refastened his weights

Kakashi who was now staring at poor Takara poked him a couple times in the side. After no movements or noises he declared Lee the winner as the medics came and removed Takara from the wall.

"Um, Lee of Wave is the winner" Kakashi said before calling the last two competitors.

Rizu of Rock vs Nobu of Lightning

Rizu front flipped over the railing and Nobu just jumped.

Kakashi's one eye looked at one competitor then the other before going back to his book.

"Begin" and he jumped back

Nobu had a scowl on his face, reminiscing the forest and how Rizu and Jack beat them.

"Show me what you got, Rizu" Nobu growled as he armed himself with a short sword drawn from his waist.

"What do you want I got uhhh, a rubber band, a button or a couple dollars?" Rizu said as he emptied his pocket before he burst laughing

"Ok, Ok, Ok, Ok I'm ready now" Rizu said as his smile lessens to a smirk. Nobu charged with his sword above his head ready for a strike.

Rizu quickly kneeled to the ground and placed both hands on it. The ground rose completely covered Rizu in a boulder of earth.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Impressive

Naruto and the rest of the small group looked back at the old man form of Kyuubi.

"What is amazing?" Naruto asked

What that boy is doing

"Sitting under some rock?" Ino continued

"No he is manipulating the earth" Lee replied

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The ground right where Nobu's next step was compacted in on itself and made a hole. Nobu faltered but caught himself with his hand and pushed back up and threw a shuriken. The earth that had covered Rizu rose up in the form of a mud clone and swatted the shuriken aside. Nobu stopped and his eyes widened in fear. The mud clone of Rizu stuck out his tongue.

Nobu began handseals.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

He seems to have control of the earth more than you or Gaara. Lee.

"Really more than Gaara?" Naruto asked

"It does have the flaw that Rizu has to stay in contact and concentrate pretty hard." Jack said

"You mean he has to stay like that?" Ino said as he looked from Jack back to the now exposed Rizu.

"Ya, but he makes up for it, besides Lee, with that speed of yours you could get around it.

"heee" Lee smiled and raised his hand

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Nobu felt the earth begin him start to move and jumped to the air.

Strike of the Thunderbird Nobu called from the air near the ceiling.

The mud clone of Rizu smiled before it crumpled back to the ground and rose back up in the form of a bear. It stomped its paws and roared at the incoming attack.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Rizu is pretty smart too, once he raises his head it means..oops here we go"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Rizu's head raised and he looked at Nobu

The bear rose up on two legs as the thunderbird neared the bear. The bear snarled and brought its arms in around the Thunderbird as it crashed into the Sturdy looking bear.

The thunderbird absorbed right into the bear and then into the ground.

The ground where Nobu was headed for sank deeply about 10 feet and four claw like appendages rose up around the edges. All of this area was surging with the lightning from Nobu's own attack.

Nobu could do nothing but watch as he fell below the line of the claws and they slammed shut around him and a muffled scream could be heard from underground. The bear roared again and walked over and began to dig where Nobu was buried. After 30 seconds it dragged an unconscious and heavily bruised Nobu to a flat piece of ground before the bear crumpled to the ground and all the damaged part of the arena fixed itself to its original state.

"Sorry for the mess proctor" Rizu said as he stood up and wobbled before straightening himself.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Damn, amazing" Naruto said

"Ya but that skill takes a lot of chakra, I'm amazed he is still standing."

Heh, look at his feet Kyuubi said

There were tiny slivers of rock that went up Rizu's pant legs.

"deceptive, I never knew how he always managed to stand in actual matches." Jack admitted

He pumped a lot of chakra into that bear; the thunderbird should have canceled it out

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Winner is Rizu of Rock"

Rizu smiled and raised his hand before falling onto his back

"I'll be back" Jack sighed and jumped over the railing. Jack waved off the medics saying he just needs to rest.

"wooo, that was fun" Rizu exclaimed

"Hehe, you are a pain" Jack said as he heaved Rizu over his shoulder and jumped up to the railing.

"Easy will ya"

"O, I'm sorry" Jack said before dropping rizu like a bag to the ground

"Uh-ehem" Tsunade coughed to get everyone's attention.

Up the old lady's speaking

"Congratulations on those who passed the preliminaries and have made it to the finals. There will be a month break for everyone to train and rest. Each victor please come down so we can decide who you will face in the final round."

And they passed out the numbers

Lee vs Rizu

Kenta vs Hanabi

Sasuke vs Ami

Naruto vs Sakura

Ino of Wave will face the winner of Naruto's and Sakura's Match.

"Meet at the main arena in the middle of the village one month from today at 9 AM. Dismissed" Tsunade said as she left with Kakashi.

"Alright so, should we go back and check on the village, and make final preparations?" Lee asked

"YES, I got a really cool idea, and I know Kiba is going to love it." Naruto said jumping with joy.

I could use a rest

"You, you haven't done anything?!" Ino exclaimed and swatted Vulcan in the head sending him to the ground.

Lee noticed that the Rock team was staring at the three of them talking. Well the best that Rizu could from his back on the floor.

"Would you like to join us?" Lee asked. Ino and Naruto turned their heads.

"Yea, that would be awesome" Naruto said as he sat on the ground with his knees bent.

"I would love too" Ami exclaimed before glomping Lee with a hug

"Ami we have to ask sensei first." Jack said

Rizu raised his hand from the ground. "I say we go, don't tell sensei"

"Shut up Rizu" Chiyo said as she walked over. "You guys can go, just make sure you are back here in time, I don't want any of you to miss it"

I will make sure that they are back here a few days early Kyuubi said as he walked forward with his cane before giving a small bow.

"Alright then have fun" Chiyo said before smiling

"Hey gaki"

"What's up perv" Naruto asked

"Hey, is that how you talk to me?" Jiraiya said as he bonked him over the head

"Mind if I tag along?"

"Only if you promise not to do any peeping" Ino threatened with a kunai pointed at him.

"Um, Ino……we don't have the hot springs set up yet" lee said

"What!!! I thought they were on the top of the list!" Ino yelled furiously

There was a change of plansNaruto squeaked and dashed behind Kyuubi

"Naruto, what did you do!!"

"um, heh, you see

He built a huge Ichiraku instead

"What!?!" Ino said as Kyuubi stepped to the side and grabbed Naruto.

"They are next Ino-chan, Shino and Shikamaru said that they would have it done before we get back!!" Naruto pleaded after a bonk to the head.

"You better hope they do" Ino said before stomping off"

I'm way ahead of you Vulcan said as he flew off to tell Shikamaru to get them done.
