Chereads / The Masked Uzamaki / Chapter 11 - Prelimanaries

Chapter 11 - Prelimanaries

Naruto walks down a hall in the Hokage building. The Hokage has summoned him. Most likely about the Orochimaru situation. Naruto knocks on the door of The Hokages office.

"Come in." Naruto heard. Naruto walked into the room. The Hokages was in his chair at his desk. Naruto noticed four more people in the room. Two in the ceiling. One under a fake floor board. The last was was in a cabinet.

"Why did you summon me? I'm guessing it's about the incident in the forest?" Naruto asked. The Hokage nodded.

"Yes. May I ask what happened l?" The Hokage asked.

"Yes. He was after Saskue Uchiha. From what I heard from his past, he was probably after the Sharingan." Naruto told.

"Yes. Possibly." The Hokage said.

"He left a curse mark from my examination of it. Me and Shijo may be able to take care of it." Naruto told The Hokage.

"Are you that good with seals at such a young age?" The Hokage asked, a bit of doubt in his voice.

"Yes. Me and Shijo are very gifted. It runs in my Uzamaki blood." Naruto told The Hokage.

"Thank you Uzukage. I ask that you send Shijo over please?" The Hokage asked.

"Very well. I'd get it under control as soon as possible so he'll be there when you ask. When Saskue gets tempted, I have no doubt he'll use that curse mark to draw power. The more he draws. The more unstable he becomes. Anyway. I'll see you at the perlimanarie rounds." Naruto said walking toward the door.

"Very well. Good bye." The Hokage said.

"Oh an one more thing Hokage. Stop with the spies, or consider the treaty donw for." Naruto said. The Hokage widened his eyes. How did the kid know spies where watching him.

"Fine." The Hokage said as Naruto walked out. Another man walked in right after. He had a bandaged eye and arm.

"Hello Danzo. What do you want?" The Hokage asked.

"Lord Hokage. I request we cancel our treaty with the Uzukage and kill him along with his village." Danzo requested.

"Why would we do that?" The Hokage asked.

"He can't be trusted. He's just a kid. He might be irrational and due to his standing in his village. He still might be threat even though he has such little of a village." Danzo explained his reason.

"No. The Uzukage got permission to start the village straight from the Daiymo himself. He might be friends with him. Besides. Theres no reason for neccesary death." The Hokage told Danzo.

"At least have spies watch him." Danzo asked.

"No. He already caught onto my spies and he doesn't like it. We're just gonna have to trust him. Your dismissed." The Hokage dismissed Danzo. Danzo walkedbout of the office. He walked down the hallway before coming upon a wall. He pushed in a brick opening a secret path. He walked in.

He walked down a corridor into a room with shinobi in Anbu masks. The had a kanji on there foreheads that said 'root's.

"Owl. Camilion. Spy on the Uzukage. Our Hokage is to weak to see the potential threat. My inside spy is making good work. Stay out of his way. Now go!" Dazo ordered.

"Yes Danzo-sama." The two said before disappearing.

-Naruto-

Naruto walked into The Forest of Death tower. He walked in on all of the kids in a group listening to The Hokage give instructions on how the preliminaries would work. Naruto was consulting Shijo about The Hokage summoning him soon. He was also doing some recon work on the nearby woods.

"Like I thought. About half of our number where cut. Now its gonna happen again." Naruto sighed. "Oh well. Might as well show off my skill. I'm not gonna go to hard right now. Don't want to cause suspicion. Better tell the other the same." Naruto thought mixing with th group and up to Gaara and Shijo.

"Now. Go up to the waiting area unless you are Saskue Uchiha and Minogta Shatsui." The instructor said coughing slightly afterwards.

Saskue stood in front of his enemy. His enemy was a sand shinobi. He had a black shirt with a yellow coat. He had black pants and black shinobi candles. He had yellow stripes on his pants. He had yellow hair with emerald green eyes.

"Give up, or I'll kill you." Saskue warned.

"Confident are we?" Minogata replied.

"Hachimei!" The instructor yelled. Saskue charged towards Minogata with a punch. Going for the throat to block off his breathing. Minogata caught his punch Saskue towards him kneeing him. Saskue jumped over him while flipping avoiding the knee. Saskue landed on the other side and went for a kick.

Minogata dodged under it and jumped back. "Earth Style! Earth Wall!" Minogata yelled as he touched the ground. A Earth Wall rises. Saskue lost sight.

"Fire Style! Fire Ball Jutsu!" Saskue yelled blowing a Fire Ball into the wall. Minogata wasn't on the other side. "Behind me? Below me!" Saskue jumped. To his suprise nothing jumped out. Saskue looked up to see Minogata on the ceiling. He kicked Saskue back down to quick for him to react knocking him into the ground.

"Earth Stype. Fist Of Stone!" Minogata yelled jumping at Saskue with his fist bow incased in stone. He hit Saskue in the gut.

"Fire Style! Fire Ball Jutsu!" Saskue yelled. Minogata jumped back dodging a smaller Fire Ball then last time. Saskue got up activating his Sharingan.

"Oh? Are you gonna actually try now?" Minogata asked. Saskue glared at Minogata. He held his belly.

Saskue dissapeared behind Minogata and reappeared behind him going for a kick to the head. "As I thought. To slow." Saskue thought. Minogata smirked.

"To slow." Minogata caught the kick and slammed him into the ground. "Earth Style! Fist Of Stone Barrage!" Minogata yelled slamming a barrage of stoned fists into Saskue. Minogata landed five punches before hitting him in the jaw knocking him out.

"Winner. Minogata Shatsui." The instructor called. People with stretchers came into the room lifting Saskue up and carrying him away.

-The Stands-

There where fan-girls crying over Saskues loss, while Ino and Sakura where fighting over who would avenge him. "Minogata. Team member of Temari and Kankuro. The two we saw the other day. He's just as good as Rock Lee's speed and Taijutsu skills, but can also use chakra. That jutsu he used though. I haven't really seen it before." Naruto thought.

"Will Gaara and Rock Lee, please come down." The instructor called.

"Yosh! I shall win and prove my youthfulness!" Rock Lee shouted jumping down.

"Good luck Gaara. Don't go to hard on him." Naruto said waving Gaara off.

-Team 7-

I still can't believe Saskue lost." Sakura said sadly.

"There's always someone stronger. Have much do you two know about him?" Kakashi asked Sakura.

"Not much. We didn't really talk to him. All we know is how he helped Naruto fight some thug, but he seems really weak. He's probably gonna lose against Rock Lee. I saw how fast he was in The Forest of Death." Sakura answered Kakashis question.

"Don't assume that. Shijo and the other kid said themselves Gaara is just as good as them. Don't underestimate him." Kakashi said.

"Yeah don't. He's a really good fighter." Naruto said walking up to them with Shijo.

"Oh. Hello." Kakashi eye smiled waving.

"Hello Kakashi. It seems Saskue got defeated sadly." Naruto said.

"Yes. What about Gaara. Will he win?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes. He will defeat Rock Lee." Shijo said looking at the arena.

Down on the fighting ground. Rock Lee and Gaara stood across from eachother.

"Hatcheimei!" The instructor called out. Rock Lee disappeared. He reappeared next to Gaara and threw a punch, but sand blocked it. Rock Lee continued to do it but was to slow to get through.

Temari, Kankuro, and Minogata watched. "It can't be. The name is already a coincidence, but that sand. It that out brother?" Kankuro asked.

"I-it can't be. Why would he be here?" Temari asked.

"I bet his teammates are forcing him." Kankuro suggested. Temari glared at Shijo and Naruto.

"Now now you two. Behave yourselves. We don't want to cause trouble yet." Minogata said patting the two on the head smiling.

"Get off of me!" Kankuro yelled.

-Fighting arena-

Rock Lee continued trying to get through the sand. Rock Lee jumped back. "You truly are a tough opponent, but I will won!" Rock Lee jumped back.

"Please. I was told to not hurt you. I'm asking you to give up." Gaara asked.

"That is not going to happen! Gai sensei. May I take them off?" Rock Lee asked. Gai sensei gave Rock Lee the nice guy pose and thumbs up. Rock Lee smiled and took of some weights on his ankles.

"Weights? What is taking off a little weight gonna do?" Temari asked. Rock Lee dropped them creating a cradle in the ground. Everyone except Shijo, Gaara, and Naruto where suprised.

"Really Gai?" Kakashi asked Gai.

"Yes Kakashi. I will unlock my students full potential and youthfulness!" Gai yelled.

"Could you repeat that?" Kakashi asked not paying attention.

"Kakashi! Darn your hip and cool ways!" Gai said.

-Arena-

Rock Lee threw a kick barely missing a standing still Gaara. Rock Lee threw another one getting closer and closer. Rock Lee threw a punch hitting a piece of hair on top of Gaaras head. Rock Lee jumped back and ran full spee and threw another punch. The punch was faster than the sand. It was about to hit Gaara before Gaara tilted his head avoiding the punch.

Everyone was suprised. Kakashi looked at Naruto and Shijo who didn't look suprised. Rock Lee huffed. "You are a worthy opponent. I must go one step further. I will not lose!" Rock Lee shouted. "First Gate of Opening! Open! Second Gate of Healing! Open!" Rock Lee shouted. A burst of chakra burst from Rock Lee's body.

"Seriously Gai! You thought him the Eight Inner Gates?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes Kakashi I did." Gai said giving him a thumbs up.

-Arena-

"Yosh! With this. I shall not lose!" Rock Lee disappeared. He reappeared behind Gaara and threw a kick. Gaara brought up a wall of sand and hardened it. Gaara jumped back in time as Rock Lee's kick came through it.

"Rock lee. That technique will damage your body. Please stop." Gaara asked.

"Never. Even if my body perishes. I will not lose!" Rock Lee appeared next to Gaara. He made sand rise just in time as Rock Lee threw a kick. It went through the sand and hit Gaara sending him back. Gaara caught him self with his sand, but had a couple of ribs broken.

"Rock lee. The strain you are putting on your muscles are damaging them. Your bones are gonna fall under the strain." Gaara warned.

"All in the name of youthfulness!" Rock Lee shot forward. Gaara got wrapped up in sand. Rock Lee hit the ball of sand. It cracked it, but it didn't go through the ball. Rock Lee punched the ball again and again trying to break it.

"I ask that you surrender one last time." Gaara asked.

"Never!" Rock Lee shouted.

"Very well." Gaara replied. The ground cracked as a tsunami of sand explodes from the ground. It wraps up Rock lee and buries him under many pounds of sand. Seal tags activated as it blocked the sand from getting into the stands.

"Where did all that sand come from?" Sakura asked.

"Before the round started I informed Gaara of all Rock Lee's abilities. I told him about the ability to use the Eight Inner Gates. Gaara must have sent sand into the soil to break up the rocks and created sand. That's why he only defended for the first half." Naruto explained.

"How did you know that Rock Lee could use the Eight Inner Gates?" Gai asked.

"You told me." Naruto replied.

"Really? I don't remember this." Gai said scratching his head.

-Flashback-

Naruto was doing recon on the nearby forest and found Gai and Rock Lee training.

"Gai sensei. What if I lose?" Rock Lee shouted.

"Do not worry Lee. You will not lose! Your youthfulness is to strong. No to mention. You can use The Eight Inner Gates!" Gai yelled.

-Flashback end-

Gaara stood on top of the sand. The arena was filled. It was filled almost to the top. There was six feet left. Gaara stood on top of the sand. "Harden!" Gaara yelled. The sand compacted and became as hard as Rock. Gaara stood there, but moments later the Sand starting cracking.

The sand under him cracked as a fist flew up. Gaara dodged just in time to avoid it. Rock Lee exploded with more power now. "He's opened the Third gate. Not good." Gaara said.

"We shall finish. I shall prove victorious. Good luck!" Rock Lee yelled.

"Quick Sand!" Gaara yelled as he shot under the sand, dodging a punch.

"Yosh. Even wit the Third gate open. You still see my attacks coming!" Rock Lee said. He tried to move, but he saw himself sinking under the sand. The only reason he wasn't under it was because of the gates. "Yosh. With this last attack. I shall finish it all! I shall prevail! Super Duper Punch Of Youthfulness!" Rock Lee yelled building power into his right arm.

He punched the sand making a crater down to the ground. The seals barely held under the pressure of the punch.

"What happened. Is it over?" Sakura asked.

"Yes." Naruto responded.

The sand slinked back into the ground revealing Gaara standing next to Rock Lee who was on the ground, knocked out.

"Winner. Gaara!" The instructor said. The crowd was silent. The amount of power these two Gennin showed was incredible.

"Told you." Naruto said to Gai.

"Yes. He is very youthful. I hope Rock Lee will be as youthful some day!" Gai yelled.

"I'm sure he will." Naruto replied.

"Will Taruto Oui and Kiba Inuzuka please come down."
