Bubbles rised to the surface of a body of water, and soon followed blonde spiky hair. Naruto raised his head out of the bath as he stretched, but slipped and fell to the floor.
"You can use legendary jutsu, have a frightening amount of chakra, and can go up against opponents some can only dream of, but can't catch yourself falling down?" The oreange fox antagonized Naruto.
"You have the power to destroy villages with one attack, is one of the reasons I have a frightening amount of chalra, and the strongest tailed beast, but still got put in a baby while under someone else's control?" Naruto rebuddled. Kurama roared in anger when hearing this.
"You brat! Shut your mouth!" Kurama yelled trying to come up with a comeback, but could not think of one. This argument was soon interrupted by a knock at the door. Walking to the door while putting clothes on, Naruto yelled.
"What!" Naruto loudly said opening the door, It was met with a sharp pain to the groin as he collapsed like a sack of potatoes.
"Bitch." Gaara said walking away, causing kurama laughed. Naruto groaned in pain slowly standing up, very slowly.
"I deserve that." Is what he said as he limped out of the room. Naruto soon caught up to Gaara and they headed towards there destination and quickly arrived. They made there way inside of the building and sat down, there where only a couple of people left, a woman and three men.
Naruto and Gaara where also present and soon Karui walked into the room. "All right maggots! I'll announce the last matches. First, Naruto vs Gaara. Second -" Naruto blocked her out.
"What the hell! I took him out fair and square!" Naruto shouted internally.
"Easy, it's obvious an excuse to give another interesting battle to entertain the readers after the disappointment they might of had last time." Kurama threw in.
"I get to go again?" Gaara thought.
"Yes! We will kill that blonde asshole and weaken the Fox's pride!" A voice yelled from inside. "Hey vessel!" Shukaku yelled to Gaara.
"What?" Gaara asked.
"I'm willing to help you out here, if I lend you some power you have to crush that fox!" Shukaku yelled.
"Hmmm, you promise not to try to take over my body?" Gaara asked.
"Yes." Shukaku replied.
"Deal." Gaara answered as he smiled. In Narutos head, a simular conversation was going on.
"That damn raccoon, he's probably gonna try his hardest to beat me. We need to make sure he won't win." Kurama said.
"What's with you two? You always want to one up him." Naruto voiced his thought internally.
"I just want to put him in his place." Kurama replied.
"It will be, The fierce battle of The Demon Fox and The Raccoon Sand Spirit." Kurama and Shukaku said simultaneously.
"Whatever." Naruto and Gaara both said not paying attention to them.
"Now, the reason Gaara is still in is a request of the Kages themselves." Karui stated. The others where not happy after hearing this. "Oh shut up, if you want speacial treatment then be better, it's not like it was an actual fight." Karui said.
"What does that mean?" Gaara thought a little annoyed.
"You got annihilated, even I admit that, but now they will be annihilated!" The sandy raccoon yelled.
"All right, let's go." Karui said walking towards the doors, but stopped when Naruto drew close. She stopped him and whispered.
"If you win, I'll show you what my place looks like." Karui said before walking away. Naruto smirked as he walked foward. Naruto and Gaara, now together again arrived at the arena, but where stopped by a pink haired girl being accompanied by two teenagers.
"Good luck. I can't wait to see you after this! I'm also rooting for you!" Sakura yelled.
"YOSH! OUR FIGHT IS NOT OVER, AS THE FIGHT OVER WHOS MORE YOUTHFUL WILL COUNTINUE FOR ETERNITY!" Rock Lee shouted.
"Good luck." Neji said to both of them. Naruto and Gaara nodded and walked past them and headed toward the waiting area. The arena has been repaired, and no longer had a crater in it, but what was there was a woman, the ref.
"Welcome to the finals! Our participants have worked hard to get here and we saw some amazing fights, but today we will see who is the most talented. These fights will be prodcasted live, as well spectator and judged by the Kages themselves!" The ref shouted.
"Now, for the first match is Naruro Uzamaki vs Gaara!" The ref finished her last word and the two where already standing in front of her. Naruto wore black pants and a black shirt with an oreange swirl on his stomach. His waist was covered with different pouches, who knows what where in them.
Gaara worr red pants and shirt, but black lines started at the shoulders and went down his sleeves and continued down the sides of his pants. He had one ninja pouch. He ripped a sleeve of his arm revealing five seals running down his arm. He held out his hand before making a fist effectively opening the seals causing sand to leak from it.
"You ready for an ass woopen?" Naruto asked.
"I should be asking you that." Gaara replied.
"Ready! Fight!" The ref yelled before quickly disappearing from the arena.
"Yawn." Is all that was heard, Naruto stretched causing people to hear a popping noise from his back. Gaara eyed him fiercely.
Gaara moved first and in a blink of an eye he kicked towards Narutos head, Naruto raised his arm blocking it, but the power of the kick sent ripples through the air causing the crowd to even feel it.
Naruto was ready to counter attack but felt a rumble beneath his feet causing him to jump back. A sand spike came from the ground.
"Remeber our deal?" Gaara asked.
"Yeah yeah!" Shukaku said back. On the outside Naruto saw sand making its way towards Gaara. Simultaneously Naruto saw the kanji on his forehead brighten. There was also a light coming from under his shirt. Sand leaked from under his shirt.
Naruto threw a kunai aiming for his friends shoulder. Sand automaticly came to his protection. This caused Naruto to speak. "Oh so the fox was right, you and Shukaku are working together to take us down." Naruto stated the obvious.
-Flashback-
Naruto was looking at a paper while simultaneously looking at Gaaras head. "So you can occasionally hear him huh?" Naruto asked.
"Yes." Gaara replied.
"I can modify it more, but it will severe your connection, he'll only be able to communicate with you when you wish for it." Naruto said as he began the process of drawing on the kanji. "I should also mention, unless you open a connection between the two of you your ultimate protection will not work." Naruto also added.
"Then can I ask for something?" Gaara asked.
"Of course." Naruto replied.
"Will you add a seal to my gut to store the sand that protects me, when I have it, it feels like a part of my mom's soul is in it." Gaara asked. Naruto nodded and stopped the drawing.
-Present-
Naruto saw Gaara, he was completely surrounded in a sand like armour, it looked very hard, but was not jaggery, it had a raccoon tail along with a raccoon face, it looked exactly like Shukaku.
"Well, this might be troublesome." Is all Naruto could say as he dodged four sand tentacles reaching for him. Eight more rised from the ground and went towards Naruto who dodged them in return.
"This is annoying, I need to get in close, but if I'm not fast enough, my attack will be blocked by his ultimate protection sand shield thing." Naruto said as another tendril stabbed for him. He dodged causing it to hit the ground, it pierced it like a hot knife in butter.
Gaara raised four more tendrils, this made sixteen in total. Naruto made a hand sign making five shadow clones. "Mega Super Rasengan!" The five yelled. The Rasengans they had where a little bigger than an stand and they thrusted it towards five tendrils coming towards him. The Raaengans and tendrils met and both destroyed eachother.
The shadow clones quickly got impailed by other tendrils and puffed away. "All right, give me some please." Naruto asked Kurama as six tendrils shot towards him. Kurama sent chakra to Naruto causing his pupils to change, his nails grew longer, his whiskers became more visible, and most noticeable his speed had increased a lot.
He zoomed pass the tendrils and jumped on one and running along side of it. The tendrils where as thick as a mighty tree, and as long as Gaara needed them to be. Three more tendrils thrusted at Naruto who jumped up and dodged them.
Gaara stood in his armour watching and controlling the tendrils, it took a great amount of concentration for Gaara to do this. A kunai landed next to him. He heard this, but due to the concentration he currently had, he was not quick enough to react to an oreange blur appearing next to him.
Naruto threw a punch, but the sand shield rose fast protecting him. Naruto jumped away as three spikes shot from the shield. Naruto countinued jumping back as tendrils where now on him again.
"This is getting annoying." Naruto stated dodging another tendril hitting the ground. It hit whith extra force causing the ground to shake. When Naruto landed he was off balance witch gave Gaara plenty of time to strike. A tendril hit Naruto causing him to crash Into the ground, three more striked at the spot.
-Hokage Box-
"T-this is amazing." The Kazekage spit out.
"Yes, it is very impressive." The Raikage couldn't help but agree. Sure he could punch those tendrils and they'd probably crumble under his might, but for them to keep it up was a sight to behold, and at such a young age.
"This is still far from over." The Mizukage spoke.
"Yes, very much indeed." The Hokage agreed. Why, because of what they saw. The sand that buried Naruto was shaking, vibrating from something braking free from it. A large slashing sound was heard as the sand around Naruto exploded away from him.
Naruto stood unharmed, but in his hand was a familiar blade, the blade if his second mother in fact. The Mizukage smiled.
-Flashback-
"Hey Mei, do you know a good blacksmith anywhere?" Asked Naruto. He was laying in bed with a beautiful woman known as Mei.
"Yes, a very skilled one, he is on the path you set off on tomorrow. His name it Ishikawa, and he's very skilled. He should be able to make whatever you need, but may I ask what you need?" Mei asked.
"I need a blade very important to me repaired." Naruto replied smirking.
-Present-
Naruto stood with a black blade with a line through it on the top of the sword, it gave off a light red light. Gaara saw this, and grew a concerned look.
"What's wrong kid! You better not get cold feet." Shukaku yelled.
"No, it's that blade, Even at a young age he was very skilled fighter, especially with swords." Gaara replied readying himself. "And it looks like it has improvments." Gaara pointed out the red glow.
-Flashback-
An old man handed Naruto an object with a towel covering it. Naruto raised his left hand revealing a seal that he stored the sword in. He then bowed. "Thank you for this Ishikawa, you have no idea how much it means to me." Naruto said.
"No need, and I added that thing you wanted. It is chakra steel and you can send chakra through it powering the blade. It even has some other cool aspects, but you can find that out for yourself." The old man stroked his gray beard before walking away.
-Present-
A tendril shot at Naruto fast. Naruto saw it approaching and readied himself. He jumped as it reached him causing it to hit the ground. Naruto landed on top of it and ran towards Gaara. Four other tendrils shot at him, but with one slash of his sword a red line of chakra shot out and met the tendrils head on slicing them in half.
They fell to the ground and Naruto jumped into the air. He slashed the air multiple times causing wave after wave of chakra to get sent at Gaara. He blocked them with the tendrils, but they got destroyed in the process. "I can't keep doing this." Is all Gaara could say as his last tendril hit the last line of chakra.
Naruto brought his sword down towards Gaara, but his sand shield raised to block it. The sword sliced through it. Gaara raised his arm to block causing the sword to hit it. It started to go thorough the sand arm, but stopped before reaching his arm. Gaara went for an uppercut but Naruto pulled his sword out and leaned back successfully dodging his fist.
"We're about even, he can use the one tail form, but I can't cause of the affects it has on my brain. However, I have this sword and my fighting ability making up for it. Naruto ducked a punch and thrusted his sword towards Gaaras knee. Gaara saw what Naruto was doing and hardened the sand aroumd his knee causing Narutos sword to scrape against it.
Naruto jumped away as Gaara tried to knee him. Naruto crated a handsign in the air summoning seven shadow clones. They landed and began throwing kunai at Gaara, but they where all blocked by his 'Ultimate Defense'. The kunai stopped as Gaara made a hole in his wall to see if more would countinue coming.
Naruto smirked and threw a kunai with a seal on it. Gaara raised an eyebrow as he heard a hissing Like sound. His eyes widend as he realized the kunai thrown at him all had exploding tags, he made the sand into a ball and sent it away, but it exploded sending the protective sand everywhere.
The kunai personally thrown by Naruto reached Gaara as he appeared in front of him, a Rasengan in hand. "Ultimate Mega Rasengan!" He yelled as the blue ball expanded greatly hitting Gaara before his sand shield could form back.
It hit Gaara at a force he could not compete with and was pushed back quickly and eventually hit the wall. The Rasengan pushed against his armour tearing at it quickly. The Rasengan then exploded against Gaara sending him through the wall and no longer could be seen.
Naruto could be seen panting. He has used a lot of chakra, but it was quickly being refueled by the demon in him. He looked patiently as a ref walked outside the arena to look for Gaara, but came back with a shrug.
"Where in the hell could he be?" Naruto questioned but felt a vibration in the ground, but it was to late to react as Gaara shot from the groumd uppercutimg him Into the air. Gaara jumped after him reaching him and grabbing Naruto before pulling his hand back, he was no longer covered in sand armour, he did however have the eyes of the sand spirit in him.
He covered his hand in a hard sand casing and he punched Naruto in the face repeatedly, Naruto went to counter attack, but the sand protected Gaara and Narutos effort was waisted, he had also let go of his sword when sent in the air by the uppercut.
Naruto felt his nose crunch while also feeling a tooth fly out of his mouth. Gaara reared back his fist one more time before finally bringing it down in his gut sending Naruto into the ground making a crater. Naruto groaned in pain, moving his jaw it popped.
Gaara landed a little bit away from him, his sand armour was completely gone, and he was panting. Naruto slowly stood up, followed by Gaara. They charged at eachother as blurs, there fists met in the middle causing a loud bang, gaara went for a kick, but it was blocked.
Naruto saw Gaaras other leg open and went to kick it out. Gaara bent his leg and jumped causing Narutos leg to miss, he swan kicked Naruto in the chin sending his head up. Gaara landed and threw a punch towards Narutos exposed gut, but Naruto recovered quickly and grabbed Gaaras arm and twisted it before jabbing him in the nose with a punch.
Blood dripped from Gaaras nose, but that didn't stop Naruto from continuing his attacks. He pulled Gaara in close and head butted him stunning him before sending five blows to his stomach in a blur of attacks. Gaara clenched his stomach and hunched over, this gave Naruto and opening and he kneed Gaara in the face sending him into the air.
Gaara recovered from the attack and twisted while simultaneously reaching Into his ninja pouch. He pulled out a kunai and threw it at Naruto. Naruto leaned to the right a little, watching the kunai pass him and hit the ground, he saw a glint in the sun and saw the string attached to it, but could not turn before a left foot to had landed in his face sending him into the ground and sliding across it.
"So. Why didn't you use it?" Gaara spat out with blood. Naruto got up rubbing his cheek.
"This is a battle between vessels, and beast. You know as well as I they want to stand the other one up, so why not do it with only using his chakra and my fighting ability. Plus, my cloaks would have a rough time piercing that armour of yours, they're to slow." Naruto finished why he didn't use his cloaks.
"Yeah, speaking of fight." Gaara said rushing Naruto. He threw a left hook, but Naruto leaned back and came foward with an uppercut, Gaara couldn't dodge it as his head jerked back by the force met at his chin. Naruto then kicked Gaara in the gut sending him back and rolling across the ground.
"You can do it now." Kurama said as he sent a little amount of chakra for Naruto to use. Naruto smiled and quickly threw a kunai, it was sent right next to Gaaras head and Naruto followed right after. He quickly brought a blue ball down into Gaara causing him to be dug into the ground.
The attack hit Gaara hard, and eventually he was unconcious. Naruto stood up straight and raised his arm, the crowd cheered and shouted in excitment, a ref appeared next to Gaara and checked him out, soon medics came out and picked him up and took him to a place to recover. Naruto walked to the stands and sat down before falling asleep immeadiatly.
Naruto was poked and awoken by a man. "Your up. If you win this fight, and if you fight one more and whoever wins will be the Victor." The man said.
Naruto hopped over the railing and walked up to his opponent. He looked around and saw his sword was being held by the ref who handed it to him. "Fight!" She shouted, but in a blur Naruto slashed his sword into the ground causing It to explode and send his opponent flying away and landing, unconcious.
The ref appeared declaring Naruto as the winner. "Now will-" The ref didn't finish before a voice spoke up.
"I forfit!" A man yelled before sitting back down.
"I guess that means the winner of the finals Is Naruro Uzamaki! You will all return to your homes, then you will be sent a letter to meet with your villages Kage and you will be either denied promotion or granted it. Thank you for coming." She shouted.
Naruto slugged away and somehow not fall asleep eventually reached his room, before he could close the door, it was stopped by a foot, he turned and saw a beautiful dark skimmed woman with red hair. He smiled before signaling for her to come in. Karui closed the door behind her.
"I promised to show you mine, but I guess you can show me your place first, how about you start with the bed." Karui put her hand up Narutos shirt, feeling the defined muscled all over his body, she shivered at the thought of how much muscle he had.
Naruto picked her up and layed her on the bed before locking lips with her and gripping her thigh, he slowly moved his hand up eventually reached what he was looking for.
The door may have been closed, but that did not stop the sounds through the night, as some people had nightmares, others couldn't sleep at all.
-Dark Cave-
"Now that we are all here, we have confirmation the the one, two, and nine tails are in The Hidden Cloud Village, Hidan, Kakazu, capture the one tails, while Itach and Kisame will get the two tails, this should be a very easy mission, get it done immeadiatly." A shadow ordered.
"These fucking dumbasses won't know what hit there asses." A man with silver hair said, he carried a large scythe, while wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it. A man wearing a black mask and emerald green eyes nodded, he to had the same cloak on.
"I wonder if I can get anyone with a bounty there." Kakazu said excited.
"The two tails, why not send us after the nine tails?" A man with shark features asked, he also had a large wrapped sword on his shoulder. He was talking to a man with black hair, he was quiet and didn't respond.
"Well Itachi, let's go. I hope we meet someone exciting." Kisame said starting to walk towards the exit of the cave they where in. Itachi followed, he was thinking, but nobody could tell about what.
