Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Day Of The Tournament

A figure was standing on a very very high place. A place that was indeed high. From that place, he was looking down at a village. The village hidden in the leaf.

Who was this figure? Well, its none other than Naruto Vajura and he was standing on ...... thin air!? What the hell!!!???

Naruto was indeed standing on thin air. He was high above the clouds and he was looking down at the village with hate. Why? Because this is the place where everyone hurt him for reason that he had no control over. He didn't even know why he was being treated less than dirt. But no more. He will not be taking anymore shit from this village. Naruto has been reborn into a higher being.

Naruto look towards the arena where the tournament was being held. He said, "Its time."

Naruto then vanished in a burst of black lightning.

Sunagakure (Village Hidden by Sand) Fourth Kazekage Rasa

Rasa is in fact Orichimaru who is in disguise after killing the original Kazekage.

Konohagakure (Village Hidden By Leaf) Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze

Minato said, "I'm glad that all of you have come here to see the fight."

A said, "Hmpf. I only came to see if there are any worth shinobi this village creates."

Ōnoki Said, "Me too. I have been training some of my ninjas. I wanted to see how much your leaf shinobi have progressed."

Minato said, "This year is different though. This year, almost all of the genins that passed are leaf ninjas."

Mei said, "Really? I hope that there is that one boy in this village."

Minato asked, "Which boy are you talking about?"

Mei shook her head and said, "Oh. Its nothing. Just talking to myself."

Minato said, "And how are you doing Kazekage?"

Rasa(Orichimaru) in disguised said, "I'm doing well. Thank you for asking. I am here mostly for the young Uchiha match."

Minato said, "Yes. Sasuke is very popular. The civilians have been looking forward to his battle for sometime now. Even my own children will be fighting in this tournament."

A said, "Ohhh. Is that right. Are any of them muscular?"

Minato said, "No. They are just genins but they are my children. So they will do best in this tournament."

Minato may seemed happy on the outside but on the inside, he was devastated. The info about his eldest son was a bomb shell to him. He was drowning in guilt at what he did to his son in the past. He didn't know why he treated his son like that but he did and he did it with a smile. In the past, he didn't cared about Naruto. He only loved and focus on Menma and Narumi. He never even notice that his eldest son wasn't even living in the same house as him.

Kushina was hit the hardest when Minato told her about their eldest son. At first, she didn't even know who he was talking about but after explaining, she ran towards her room and opened her family album. Inside, she saw several pictures of her family. There was Menma, Narumi, Minato and herself but one person was missing from every picture. Naruto. He was not present in any picture. She kept on searching for her son in the album but couldn't find him.

After searching through all of her family album, she ran into Naruto's room. There, she was horrified at what his room looked like. There was only one mattress on the floor, a table, a chair, one window and one bathroom. That's it. What's more, the window had iron bars covering it, like it was a jail. This room wasn't a room for a child. It was a prison room. Kushina began to cry at how her son lived and how they allowed it to happen. He began to search the house for any thing that may belong to her son. After searching for a while, she found it. She found one and only one picture that had Naruto in it. He was only 2 years old in the picture. She saw how happy he was standing besides Minato while herself was hold her two babies who were Menma and Narumi.

Kushina began to cry harder when she realized that they began to ignore Naruto after Menma and Narumi began to walk and talk. They neglected their eldest son at such a young age. Then there was the realization of how Naruto always come home beaten and when asked why, he would say that the village beat him up. She remember how she slapped him for laying when he was speaking the truth. She didn't believe her son and instead believed the word of the village.

When Kushina found out what a horrible mother she has been to her eldest son, she locked herself in her room and clutch the picture of Naruto in her hand. She became mental unstable and kept on asking if her son was okay, was he safe, is he eating good. When Minato tried to take her out, she used her chakra chains to throw him out and lock the room. Then she starts to cry again which clutching the picture again.

Menma and Narumi were not effected and said that the loser should have been killed. He doesn't deserve to be a part of this family. This only caused Kushina's guilt to increase at how she failed her children. Minato was sad and angry with his two children and tried to talk sense to them but he failed. Menma and Narumi were far gone as they think that they are the children of prophecy who will save the world.

Minato sat in his seat as he look down at the arena, waiting to see his son, Naruto. In the month, he ordered his ANBU to find Naruto and bring him to his home. However, the ANBU failed as they couldn't find even a single trace of him. When Minato told his ANBU to ask Naruto's friend about his location, they refused to answer. When the ANBU tried to use force, Minato was shocked to see that genins were able to beat the crap out of his ANBU force.

Before leaving, Shikamaru said, "You are a failure as both a Hokage and a father. Get out. You are not welcome here."

Minato received similar response from the other genins. Minato was again hit with immense guilt, knowing that Naruto told his friends about his life and now they are against their Hokage. When he tried to talk with the clan's adults, they too gave the same response to him, saying that he doesn't deserve to be the Hokage of this village and how he failed to be a father. The adults kicked him out of their clans and told him that he wasn't welcome here anymore.

Minato has been devastated that almost all of the shinobi clans have become hostile to him and his family. Only the Hyuga and Kurama Clan were with him as well as the civilian council. A lone tear fell from his eyes as he realized how he played favorite within his own family. He wipe away his tear which was noticed by Mei.

Mei asked, "Are you alright Hokage?"

Minato said, "I'm fine thank you. Just some dust in my eye."

Mei didn't buy it but kept quite. The other Kage noticed it too but kept quite and look down at the arena, waiting to see any interesting fight.

In The Daimyo Section

Five figures sat on their comfortable seat. These five figures were the daimyo of the five great elemental nations. The fire daimyo, wind daimyo, water daimyo, earth daimyo and lightning daimyo. All five of them were here.

Fire daimyo laugh and said, "I'm so glad that all of you have came to see this tournament."

Wind daimyo said, "Well, you did send us a letter which told us to see this tournament."

Water daimyo nodded and said, "Yes. What's so important that you needed all of the daimyo to come here and see the tournament?"

Fire daimyo smiled, "I wanted all of you to see one of my friend participating in this tournament."

Lightning daimyo said, "A friend you say. You just wanted us to see one of your friend fight in this match?"

Fire daimyo laughed and said, "Oh! He is not just a fried. He is my very dear and important friend."

Earth daimyo said, "What's make this friend of yours so special?"

Fire daimyo said, "All of you remember what I told you about my and my mother's life as slave to the previous Fire daimyo, right? My friend was the one who came and saved me and my mother's life. He not only saved my mother's life but also saved us from our lives as slaves. With his help, I was able to become the next Fire daimyo and for that I am forever in his debt."

Lightning daimyo said, "So your friend help you in becoming the next Fire daimyo? He obviously done it for money and such."

Fire daimyo shook his head and said, "No, he didn't. He didn't do for any material wealth or any kind of position. All he asked me in return was to be his friend and have his support."

Earth daimyo asked, "What kind of support?"

Fire daimyo said, "That is why all of us are here today to see my dear friend. Today is the day, he is going to reveal his true self to the world. He wanted all of us here to see his true strength."

Water daimyo said, "But why need us to be here? I don't get it."

Fire daimyo said, "Just like me, my friend too suffer if not even worse then me. The reason he needs us here is to not only show his true strength but will need our support with what he has planed at the end of the tournament."

Earth daimyo said, "Hmmm. Your friend sound interesting. Very well. I will see what's so special about your friend and if he impressed me, then he has my support with whatever he has planned."

Wind daimyo said, "Me too. I too wish to see what your friend is capable of doing."

The other daimyo nodded in agreement and wait for the tournament to begin."

In The Arena

In the center of the arena, all of the gennins who passed were standing in a line. Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, Shino Aburame, Menma Uzumaki Namikaze, Narumi Uzumaki Namikaze, Tenten, Shikamaru Nara, Rock Lee, Kiba Inuzuka, Gaara and Kankuro were present but two people were not there. Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Vajura were absent.

Ino became a bit worried and said, "Where is Naruto? He isn't here yet."

Hinata said, "I'm sure he is on the way Ino."

Shikamaru said, "Naruto will be here. This tournament is too important for him.

Lee said, "Yes. Naruto will come and today, he will be revealing his true self."

Choji said, "I wonder how everyone would react to his true self."

Shino said, "Their faces will be one of pure disbelief."

Kiba chuckled and said, "Well said Shino. They won't be expecting Naruto of all people to pull that off."

Genma Shiranui who is the referee of this tournament said, "Hey. Stop looking around. Face your customers. In this main tournament, you guys are the stars."

In the Kage section

Minato asked on of his guard, "Have Sasuke been found yet?"

The guard said, "No Hokage-sama. We have searched the village for him but couldn't be found."

Minato sigh and said, "Its very irresponsible to be late for something like this. Sasuke is in the first match and he is not here. I guess I have to disqualify him from the tournament."

Rasa(Orichimaru) heard that and said, "I must request that you delay the Uchiha's battle Hokage-sama."

Minato asked, "Why should I do that Kazekage-sama?"

Rasa(Orichimaru) said, "A lot of people and even some important figures have come here to see the Uchiha fight. If they don't get to see his fight then the leaf village will get less missions."

Minato though about it and nodded. He said, "I guess I could delay Sasuke's match but only by two matches."

Rasa(Orichimaru) nodded and smirked under his mask. He will see just how much the Uchiha has progressed in gaining power.

Minato stand up and announced, "Thank you everyone for coming to the Hidden Leaf chunin exam! We will now start the main tournament matches between the 13 participants who made it through the preliminaries. Please stay and watch until the end!"

In The Arena

Genma said, "Okay. Listen up everyone. Before the match begins, a few minor changes will be made. This is the final test. The arena is different but the rules are the same as in the preliminaries. You simply fight until one of you dies or acknowledges defeat. However, I will determine that the fight is over. If I do that, you will stop fighting. Is that understood?"

The genins nodded and Genma continued, "Instead of Hinata Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha's first match, Ino Yamanaka and Shino Aburame's will fight first. Everyone other than Ino Yamanaka and Shino Aburame stay here while the rest go to the waiting room."

Everyone besides Ino and Shino left the arena while the two stayed. Genma said, "Are both of you ready?

Ino said, "Yes I am."

Shino said, "Me as well."

Genma nodded and said, "Then let the match ... Begin!"

Ino Yamanaka VS Shino Aburame

Ino quickly jumped away when Shino's bugs came out. She pulled out a Kunai which had an exploding tag wrapped on it. When she threw the exploding kunai towards Shino, he saw the tag and immediately ordered his bugs to fly towards the incoming kunai and cover it. The bugs quickly sucked out the chakra from the explosive tag, rendering it as a harmless kunai.

Ino saw this and pulled out more exploding kudai. She knew that she couldn't come closer to Shino as he will use his bugs to attack her and suck out her chakra. She can't even use her "Mind Switch Jutsu" as it takes some time and Shino will move away from his position. So she could only use long range attacks but every time she did, Shino used his bugs to stop her attacks.

This went on for a few minutes before Ino stooped. She saw that she could not get through Shino's bugs, so she used another tactic. She took our a kunai that had a seal on it. She threw the kunai towards Shino. Just before it came closer to its target, the kunai exploded in white smoke. From the smoke, 7 explosive kunai flew out and ht the ground around Shino. Then all 7 kunai exploded which blinded everyone.

Ino though that this should had worked but she tense when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She look behind and saw that Shino was standing behind her and without any scratch.

Shino said, "You should yield Ino. You have lost."

Ino sigh and nodded. She raised her hand and said, "I surrender."

Genma nodded and said, "Winner Shino Aburame!"

The crowd clapped and cheer for the two genins. After the two left the arena, Genma said, "Next match is Shikamaru Nara with Rock Lee! Will the two contestant come down here!"

Shikamaru Nara and Rock Lee both look at each other and nodded. Then they both jumped down into the arena.

Genma asked, "Are both sides ready?"

Shikamaru said, "Troublesome. Lets get this going."

Lee said, "Yosh! I am ready to fight my friend!"

Genma nodded and said, "Ready .... Begin!"

Shikamaru Nara VS Rock Lee

Lee immediately began to charge towards Shikamaru who didn't move from his position. When Lee was about to reach him, he immediately jumped back to avoid a moving shadow. Shikamaru shouted "Shadow Style Shadow Tentacles!". This allowed him to use his own shadow to move around him like a living thing which shocked his own clan members. The Nara clan were only able to use their shadow to move in a single direction but Shikamaru is able to use his own shadow to move around like an octopus.

Lee could not get close to Shikamaru as his shadow protected him from all sides. He then pulled out some shuriken and threw them at him. However, to everyone's shock, the shadow on the ground raised up into the air and grabbed the incoming shuriken. The shadow then threw the shuriken back towards Lee who jumped to the side to avoid it.

Weapons won't work, so Lee began to use his earth Jutsu. He formed some hand signs and slammed on the ground as he said, "Earth Style Flying Earth Daggers!"

Several earth spikes flew towards Shikamaru but it proved to be useless as the shadow smacked them away. Shikamaru's defense was just like Gaara which intrigued him greatly to see that someone was copying his move but he didn't mind as he would take great pleasure in killing him. Shikamaru didn't want to drag out the fight as this Jutsu was taking a lot of chakra. He controlled his shadow and moved the shadow in front of him, towards Lee.

Lee saw this and immediately dash away but the shadow didn't stop. It just continued to go after Lee who tried to get away from it. As Lee was occupied with running away from the shadow, he failed to notice several more shadow tentacles spreading throughout the arena. By the time he noticed them, it was too late. Almost all of the arena was covered in Shikamaru's shadow. Only a small spot was left in which Lee was standing.

Shikamaru said, "You got no place to run now Lee. I win."

Lee look around to see anyway of getting out of here but there were none. He smiled and raised his hand and said, "You got me good Shikamaru. I surrender."

Genma nodded and said, "Winner Shikamaru Nara!"

The crowd clapped and cheered for their match. Many were shocked to see Lee using Jutsu which was suppose to be impossible for him. Gai was praising Lee for doing very good in the match.

Genma said, "Next match will be Hinata Hyuga with Sasuke Uchiha. Will the two contestant come down!"

Hinata came down but there were no site of Sasuke. Genma look at Minato for what to do now.

In The Kage Section

Minato said, "Sasuke Uchiha has failed to attend his match. I will have to disqualify him."

Rasa(Orichimaru) heard this and didn't wanted that. He said, "Aren't you being a bit quick to decide that Hokage-sama."

Minato said, "The Uchiha is late for his match. This is an insult to not only me but to the village as well."

Rasa(Orichimaru) said, "Come now Hokage-sama. Almost all of the people came here to see what the Uchiha can do. The Uchiha must be busy with something very important which could be the reason he is late. Just give him a little more time."

Minato sigh and said, "Fine. But Sasuke will only get 10 minutes before he is qualified from the tournament."

Rasa(Orichimaru) nodded and waited. He really wanted to see what Sasuke is capable of doing.

In The Arena

After receiving news from the Hokage, Genma said, "It seems that Sasuke Uchiha is late to attend his match. He will be given 10 minutes and if he fails to come here, then he will be disqualified."

After 10 Minutes

Genma said, "Times up. Saskue Uchiha has failed to attend his match. As such, he is disqualified from the tournament! Winner Hinata Hyuga!"

This made a lot of the crown protest but Minato stood up and shouted, "Enough! Sasuke Uchiha has failed to attend his own match. His match was further delayed for him to come but he failed in doing that to! I can't show favoritism as all shinobis are equal! Sasuke Uchiha is disqualified and that's it! Move on with he next match!"

The crowd became silent after that. What hypocrisy. Minato did the same thing with his children and he had the gall to say that to everyone.

Hinata left the arena and returned back to her friends. Hiashi Hyūga scoffed at her daughter's victory. He didn't like how a Hyuga got a free pass.

Genma said, Next match is between Menma Uzumaki Namikaze with Naruto Vajura! Will the two constant come down!"

When Naruto's name was taken, Minato became stiff. His gut began to fill with guilt. He blamed himself for what he has done to Naruto. His reason for doing was so that Menma and Narumi would be able to control the Kyuubi's chakra and become protectors of the village. In doing so, he cast aside Naruto so that he could focus him time on his other children. Even his wife Kushina agreed to focus on Menma and Narumi which made them neglect their eldest son. This went on for a few years. It even reached to a point where they forgot that they even had another son.

Minato promised himself that he would do anything to bring Naruto back to his family and apologize to him. He knew that it won't work but he needs to do something for his sin.

Menma jumped down as he look around smugly. He said, "So where is my so called brother?"

Naruto did appeared for a while. This made Menma smirk and said, "Well it seems that the loser knows not to mess with me. This proves that trash is not a part of the Uzumaki Namikaze family!"

In The Kage Section

A heard the brat and look towards Minato. He asked, "Family? What is that brat talking about Hokage?"

Minato look down and couldn't speak as he was guilt ridden. Ōnoki asked, "Hokage. What is your son talking about?"

Mei asked, "Is this has something to do with Naruto Vajura?"

After being quite for a while, Minato said, "That Naruto .... is my forgotten son."

Confusion spread through the four Kage. Even Orichimaru as he didn't knew that Minato had another son.

A asked, "What do you mean your son? And what do you mean by forgotten?"

Minato said, "His name is not Naruto Vajura but Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and he is my eldest son."

Ōnoki asked, "Then why didn't we know about him? All you told about is your other two children."

Minato said, "I did something horrible to him in the past which may have made him run away and hate us."

Mei asked, "What did you do to Naruto?"

Minato then told them how he and his wife favored Menma and Narumi for holding the Kyuubi's chakra and how they focus their time on them. He also told them how he ignored and neglected Naruto to the point where his family even forgot about him. This news greatly angered the Kages as they glare at Minato. Orochimaru was planing things for Naruto. He would really like to have him for some of his experiments.

*Crackle* *Crackle*

The sound of thunder caught everyone's attention. They all look up and were confused to see lighting in the sky in broad day light.

Ōnoki asked, "How can there be thunder when there aren't even any clouds?"

A asked, "This could be a shinobi's doing."

*Crackle* *Crackle* *Throom* *Boom*

From the sky, a large thunder bolt descended in the center of the arena and exploded. When the dust settled, everyone saw with wide eyes and jaws agape at who was standing in a huge crater.

In The Arena

In the center of a huge crater was a 5 foot tall blond hair kid who had his face covered with a white cloth that flutter around him. He had blue eyes and he wore a sleeveless steel vest. He wore two iron gauntlets on his arms. He wore a black pants and his headband on his fore head. However, the most notable thing about this blond kid was that black lighting spark around from his body. Who was this kid? He was none other than Naruto Vajura!

Naruto look around and saw everyone's shocked faces which amused him. His eyes then landed of his former father. Naruto glared hatefully at Minato which made him flinch under his son's gaze. Naruto then turn his face towards Menma and saw that he too was shocked to see him.

In The Daimyo Section

Fire daimyo began to clap when he saw Naruto and his entrance. He said, "You're finally here my friend."

Wind daimyo asked, "Is that blond kid the one you have been talking about?"

Water daimyo said, "I don't see what's so special about him."

Fire daimyo said, "Come now. Don't judge him from his appearance. Just see and I promise you won't be displeased."

Earth daimyo said, "Is this Naruto strong?"

Fire daimyo said, "He he. He may be just that. Just see for yourself."

All five daimyo watch Naruto with interest.

In The Arena

Naruto said, "Hmm. I'm here. Lets begin our match."

Menma came out of his shock and said, "Who do you think you are trash!? You think you can win against me!?"

Naruto look at him with bored eyes and said, "Your better."

This made Menma angry and he shouted, "How dare you talk to the son of the fourth Hokage!? I am going to teach you a lesson!"

Naruto said, "Come then. Quite wasting my time."

Menma girted his teeth in rage. Genma quickly said, "Let the Match ... Begin!"

Play this music for the upcoming beat down. (Play it at 0:30)

As soon as Genma said that, Menma charged at Naruto with hate filled eyes. Naruto stand still and watch as Menma made his way towards him. From Naruto's eyes, he was seeing Menma running towards him at a slow pace. Menma attacked with a flurry of chakra enhanced punches but Naruto saw each and everyone of his attack and he simply dodge by tilting his body.

Menma girted his teeth in anger. How dare this trash dodge his attack and make him look weak in front of the audience. Menma lunge at Naruto and when he reached him, he was about to punch his face but Naruto disappeared in a blur.

*Bash*

In the next second, Menma experienced extreme pain in his gut. It was so painful that he didn't even noticed that he was lunched away, towards the arena's wall and *Crash* crashed into it. Menma fell from the wall and onto the ground. He painfully stand back up as his injuries were healed slowly by the Kyuubi's chakra. He look towards Naruto and saw him in a crouching position with his elbow stretched outwards. He understood what happened. Naruto elbowed him in the gut so fast that he couldn't trace him with his eyes.

How can he not see Naruto's movement? He was the son of Minato. The Hokage. And yet, this ... this trash dare to surpass him!? Menma girted his teeth in rage which made some of the Kyuubi's chakra swirl around his body. It was only transparent red chakra around his body which gave him a bit boost in speed. Menma then charge at his enemy with increased speed, hoping that with the extra boost would help him. Wrong.

When Menma was about to reach his enemy, Naruto slowly put his leg left forward which made Menma think that he was about to attack him with the left leg. He dodge to the side to avoid the left kick but that never came as he thought.

*Bash*

Naruto instead used his right leg to kick Menma on the side of his head. The kick was so fast that it was a blur and with the amount of strength that Naruto put into his kick, Menma was shot towards the ground *Crash* which formed a small crater.

Menma's whole world turn upside down when he lay on the ground. He couldn't believe that he was again bested by his loser of a brother. His head was spinning from the kick he received. Menma again got mad and stand back up as his wounds healed by the Kyuubi's chakra. Menma charged towards Naruto but this time he approached him cautiously. He observe Naruto's leg movements as he come closer and closer.

When Menma was closer, Naruto put his right leg forward. Menma immediately predicted that his opponent was going to his left leg to attack him. With this in mind, he continue to charge at Naruto, thinking that with his prediction, he will dodge the attack. Too bad his prediction was broken into thousands of pieces when the opposite.

*Bash*

Naruto used his right foot to lunge himself towards Menma. He then used the same right foot to kick Menma in the gut which kept him above the ground for a few seconds. Naruto needed just those few seconds to spin his body with his right foot and punch Menma in the gut again which launched him away.

*Bash*

Menma couldn't think right at what was happening to him. He thought 'What's going on? I couldn't even see through his attack? Why?'

Menma was loosing against this trash? He who have been trained by the Hokage? Menma again stood up. While the Kyuubi's chakra does heal his wounds, it does not take away his pain. Menma rage made him ignore it and he ran towards Naruto.

Menma jumped into the air and deliver a chakra enhanced kick at his opponent. However, Naruto simply crouched down which made Menma fly harmlessly above him. But Naruto didn't let him go like this as Menma was now unguarded above him. Naruto spun his body as he *Thud* kicked the ground with his left foot which launched him up. Naruto used the momentum to deliver his own kick on the side of Menma's exposed abdomen.

*Bash*

The kick broke some of Menma's ribs as he was lunched away and crashed into the ground. Again? He was bested again by that trash! With a roar, Menma jumped back on his feet and he pulled out his sword. Menma then used his sword to slash at Naruto who simply dodge with ease. This only made him angry as he kept on swinging at him with intent to kill.

Naruto got bored from dodging the sword. When Menma swung again, Naruto grabbed the sword with ... his fingers!

Everyone were shocked to see someone stopping a sword with just their fingers. The Kages were becoming very impressed at Naruto's skills as well as the daimyos. Minato too was beginning to feel proud about his eldest son but when he remember what he has done to him, his stomach gets filled with guilt. Narumi look at her two brothers fighting and scoffed at how much time Menma was taking to beat that loser.

Menma struggled to free his sword from his enemy's fingers. He shouted, "Let go trash!"

Naruto ignored him and simply bend on of his finger which *Crackle* broke the sword in two. This again shocked everyone as they see Naruto not only stopping a sword with two fingers but breaking it with a single finger as well.

Menma look at his broken sword in disbelief. If it was any ordinary sword then he would have believe it but his sword was not an ordinary one. His sword was made from a very special ore which specialize in hardness. This ore should have made his sword unbreakable but Naruto broke it. And with just a freaking single finger!

Menam roared and throw his broke sword at Naruto who simply tilted his head to the side and avoided it. He then formed some hand signs and thrust his hand forward while saying, "Wind Style Great Breakthrough!"

Naruto gathered chakra beneath his feet and stick to the floor. When the wind hit him, he didn't even budge from the force. He simply stood in the path of the wind pressure which did nothing to him. Menma girted his teeth in rage and began to gather chakra into his hand as he was going to use one of his father's A-Rank offensive Jutsu. Naruto look at Menma's hand and saw a chakra swirling around into a sphere. A blue orb was beginning to form in Menma's hand. After a few seconds, Menma did. He made a Rasengan.

Menma look at Naruto with a smug grin and said, "You see this loser? This is one of my father's Jutsu that he made himself. Its an A-rank offensive Jutsu, the Rasengan which he taught me. I'm going to use this to kill you!"

Naruto laughed at Menma which angered him. He asked, 'What are you laughing about trash!?"

Naruto said, "You really think just because you learned some special Jutsu, you think you have won? If it takes one to learn something like this in order to become the strongest then there are loads of shinobi's out there in the world that can mop the floor with your pathetic Jutsu."

Minato cringed when his eldest son insulted his Jutsu. Menma growled and said, "You wish trash! Only some genius like me could have quickly learn the Rasengan! One that you could have never learn!"

Naruto stop laughing and look at Menma with a serious face. He said, "Ohhhh. So you think that I can't learn a pathetic Jutsu like the Rasengan? Lets see if you are right."

Naruto brought both of his hands together slowly. Minato and Menma both look at Naruto's hand and gasped in disbelief when chakra began to swirl between his hands. Blue chakra began to spin between Naruto's hand like a small vortex. The vortex began to pick up speed which made dust and sand to spin around it. After a few seconds, Naruto shocked everyone when he made his own Rasengan which looked like it could swallow up anything.

Menma said in disbelief, "No. How can you make the Rasengan. Did you stole dad's Jutsu!? You thief! I'll have you arrested for this!"

Naruto chuckled and said, "Foolish brat. I have no need to steal any Jutsu."

Menma asked, "Then how did you make the Rasengan!?"

Naruto said, "Simply. I just saw how you did it. I saw how the chakra was flowing, how it needs to be controlled precisely and how it needs to be contained in a sphere. This is actually my first time making the Rasengan and I have to say that I'm not impressed."

Menma was shaking in rage. How could that trash learn it just my seeing how he did it? It took Menma a lot of time to master this technique but Naruto did it in the blink of an eye.

With a roar, Menma lunged at Naruto with his Rasengan and shouted, "Die you bastard!"

Naruto shook his head and said, "Pathetic."

Both Naruto and Menma lunged at each other with their Rasengan. When they thrust their Rasengan at each other, three things happened when the both Rasengan hit each other. First, Menma's Rasengan was absorbed into Naruto's Rasengan which became twice its size. Second, when Naruto's Rasengan hit Menma in his gut, it became five times bigger than before in an instant.

*Boom*

Third, a huge explosion occurred which launched Menma *Crash* into the arena's wall. When the Rasengan hit Menma, it absorbed a lot of his blue chakra that increased its size. Because of its huge size, it damaged the front of Menma's abdomen, chest and face. The skin looked like it was peeled off from his front and blood flowed from it.

Everyone were shocked to see what just happened. Minato was shocked how easily Naruto made his Rasengan. Also, he was able to make his own version of Rasengan which seem to get bigger by absorbing more chakra. He look at Menma in worry when he saw all the wounds made by Naruto's Rasengan. However, his worries only increased when red chakra began to cover Menma's body.

The wounds on Menma's body began to heal by the Kyuubi's chakra. Soon all of his wounds were heal and he opened his eyes. However, his eyes became red slits and instead of standing, he took an animal stance. Then his skin began to peal off from the Kyuubi's chakra. His skin that was peeled off burn away and black smoke was released from it. The black smoke then began to cover him which obscure him from everyone's eyes.

"RRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!"

A while later, a demonic roar came from the smoke which dissipated it. What stand there was something only that can be described as a demon. Menma whole body was covered in malicious red chakra and he had 4 tail coming from his back. His eyes were white and his teeth became sharp.

Naruto look at Menma's fox mode and scoffed. He said, "Did you really think using the Kyuubi's chakra will give you an edge against me? You are severely wrong. All it did give you was make you much more durable for me to beat you up. And since you are willing to use such killing move."

Naruto's body began to shake and then his muscles began to bulge. All the muscles in his arms, legs, chest and abdomen bulge so much that his upper clothes were ripped apart from the increase of his muscles. His iron vest was ripped into several pieces. His gauntlets exploded from the increase of his arms muscles. Even his cloth that covered his face was ripped apart.

*Biki* *Biki* *Keerriipp* *Biki* *Biki* *Keerriipp*

Naruto girth his teeth as his muscles expand. He said, "Then I too shall use my own deadly moves as well!"

Naruto began to release a good amount of killing intent that effect Menma a bit. Genma who was in the arena was brought onto his knee. The people near the arena also fell to their knee from the killing intent Naruto released.

All over the arena, the females blushed as they gaze upon Naruto's muscles. Some even fainted from nose bleed. Naruto's girl friends also blushed as they look at their boyfriend's well developed body. The men were very envious and jealous as they see his muscles.

In The Kage Section

Minato's jaw hit the floor when he saw how buffed his son has become. It was really impossible for someone of his age to have that kind of muscles.

The Raikage A was smiling excitingly when he saw that there was someone like him who wants to show off their muscles.

Raikage stand up and exclaimed, "YEAH! FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN MUSCLES! SHOW THE WORLD WHAT MUSCLES CAN DO BOY! THOSE WHO HAVE MUSCLES ARE THE STRONGEST THERE IS! BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR OPPONENT! YEAH! MUSCLES RULES!"

Mei was blushing madly and blood flowed from her nose as well. She wipe away the blood from her nose and thought 'This Naruto must be indeed the one who help us against Yagura. I knew that he was strong but to think that he developed this much within a few year? She would gladly have him as her husband.'

In The Arena

Naruto said, "But before I can beat you into a bloody pulp."

Naruto formed some hand signs and slammed them on the ground and shouted, "Earth Style Earth Hardening!"

The dirt ground of the arena began to harden and change in color. Everyone saw that the arena's floor began to turn white. Soon the dirt floor harden into Marble floor.

Naruto stand back up to his full height and said, "I turned the floor into hard marble. This will not only give us good grip on the floor but it will also give sever pain when crash into it. Now. Come at me with intent to kill or I will kill you for disappointing me."

Menma growled in rage and charged at him with immense speed that he disappeared in a blur. However, in Naruto's eyes, he clearly saw where Menma was. Menma appeared in front of Naruto and swipe his claw at him but Naruto duck under it and flip backwards and *Bash* kicked Menma under his jaw with such force that he was lunched upwards into the sky. Everyone in the audience look up at their Jinchuuriki in shock that a genin countered his attack.

When Menma stop in the air, he look around for his prey but he failed to realize that he became the prey himself for someone much more dangerous than the Kyuubi's chakra mode. When Menma look to his left, Naruto appeared in black lightning. Naruto was upside down with his right leg bend back. Menma got only one second to see this enemy when Naruto *Bash* gave a powerful kick to his head. This launched Menma downwards towards the hard marble floor like a meteor.

*Crash* *Boom*

A large explosive shockwave was released when Menma hit the marble floor. Menma squirmed in pain as his bones were cracked or crushed from the kick and the impact on the hard marble floor. The Kyuubi's chakra healed his wounds and he stood back up searching for his enemy. He look up and saw Naruto diving towards him. Menma grinned that he got his chance to hurt him. He raised his arms to grabbed Naruto in his claws with intent to rip him apart. However, that didn't go as he planned it.

When Naruto was upon Menma, he spin once while grabbing both of Menma's arms, which stopped his attack. Naruto then used the spin's momentum to *Bash* dive his knee into Menma's face. Menma was thrust into the marble floor and *Crunch* his face bones were crushed from the hit.

After diving Menma into the marble floor, Naruto jumped back and spin landed a few meters away from the Jinchuuriki. The audience were left speechless at the brutal display of Taijutsu and how easily he was beating around their village's hero.

The Raikage was smiling widely at Naruto's close quarter skills. Since is himself like to fight in close range, his vote for Naruto was in his pocket. He was very impressed with the boy's skill. Ōnoki was not a fan of close combat but he had to agree with Raikage that Naruto's display of strength and skill were very impressive. He had his vote for Naruto. Mei already had her vote for Naruto as she was blushing and drooling at the same time when she check the muscles on every inch of Naruto's body.

The daimyos were left with shocked and awe faces. When the Fire daimyo saw the other daimyo's faces, he chuckled and gave face that said 'I told you so'.

Rasa(Orichimaru) was grinning at the display of Naruto's skill. He wanted Sasuke as his next vessel but this Naruto intrigued him more. He plans to get him as his next vessel in the future.

Minato had a different reaction. He sat on his chair with a shocked and awe face. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He, his wife Kushina, Tsunade and Jiraiya trained Menma and Narumi for the past years. But here it is, his son Menma is getting the shit beat out of him by his eldest son who didn't received any training from him or anyone he know. How can this be possible? How did Naruto got this strong? Who trained him? Minato didn't know what he should do. He just pray that Naruto would forgive them for what his family did to him.

Menma pulled himself out from the marble floor and glared hatefully at Naruto. He was getting pissed off more and more that his loser of a brother was beating him around like a rag doll.

Naruto said, "What's the matter Menma? You have all of the advantages of holding the Kyuubi's chakra and yet you can't even strike me once or even put a scratch me. If I am a loser and trash in your eyes, then what does that make you in my eyes? Nothing."

Menma roared with rage at that comment and charged at him. He swung his claws widely at Naruto who simply dodged at the last second with ease. Menma kept on swinging widely but every attack were easily dodged by Naruto. Naruto kept on dodging and moving back slowly. He was bringing Menma and himself towards the center of the arena.

When they reached the center point of the arena, Naruto said, "You got so high on your pedestal that you have failed to take notice of other people around you that far surpass a spoiled brat like you."

Menma growled and she swung his claws at Naruto while saying, "No! You are the trash! You are the loser! You don't deserve to be a part of our family! You need to die for bringing shame and pain on my family names!"

Naruto simply dodged with a bore face and said, "Ohhh. So you think that a weakling like me does not deserve to be a part of my family? Well, that is something that we both can agree on."

Minato winced at that comment. Did Naruto not want to be a part of their family anymore? He began to fear what this decision would do to his wife.

Naruto dodge some more and said, "Let me show you who the weakling here is."

Naruto raised his right arm up and the muscles in the arm bulged in size. Then with a roar, Naruto brought his right arm down upon the marble floor like an axe.

"RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

*Crash* *Throom* *Crumble*

Naruto's attack left the entire audience in wide eyes and their jaws hit the floor. They couldn't believe what they were seeing with their eyes. His attack completely split the entire arena's floor into two pieces.

Menma was taken back by this sudden show of immense strength. He felt some fear at the back of his mind but his pride wouldn't let him. He jumped back and plan his next move. However, Naruto squashed his plans at what he did next.

Naruto said, "Where do you think you're going you little shit? You sacred? If so, then you should be!"

*Crash*

Naruto stomped the part of the arena on which Menma was standing. What happened next shocked the entire audience again. On half of the arena floor was tilted upwards from Naruto's strong stomp. Menma was stuck on the arena as it raised vertically which shocked him. he couldn't believe that his loser of a brother was capable of doing feats like this.

When the audience saw one half of the arena's floor tilting upwards, their eyes popped out of their heads and their jaws hit the floor. All of them had one thing to say about this.

"EEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!??????"

Naruto didn't stop there. When one half of the arena's floor was raised up vertically with Menma sticking on it, he jumped towards him. The muscles in both of his arms were bulging as he ready his next devastating attack. Naruto appeared in front of the still shocked Menma and pulled both of his arms back while curling his hands into fists. Naruto then displayed a devastating move that mad Gai and Lee proud.

Naruto shouted, "Strong Fist Barrage!"

Like the names implies, Naruto unleashed a barrage of powerful punches at Menma who couldn't defend himself against hundreds of attacks. Menma felt every part of his body being pulverized under the hail of punches. He couldn't even scream as his neck, jaw and mouth were crushed under the strong punches.

*Bash* *Bash* *Crunch* *Bash* *Crunch* *Bash* *Bash* *Crunch* *Bash* *Bash* *Crunch*

Under each powerful punches, Menma's bones were broken or crushed. His red flesh were being tenderized by the continuously blows. Menma couldn't think as his body was ridden with broken bones and immense pain flowing through it. The Kyuubi's chakra didn't help as it only healed his wounds and bone. The pain remained.

The audience were watching the brutal beating in awe and disbelief. They couldn't believe that the demon brat they beat in the past year was now strong enough to beat their village's hero. No. Naruto dominated this battle completely. It was a one sided battle. They civilians and even some shinobi were now sacred as they realized how screwed they are. They beat Naruto at such a young age because of the Kyuubi's soul he hold inside of him and now he became this much stronger. Stronger to beat a Jinchuuriki in his berserk state. Now they will face a powerful Naruto after this tournament and there is nothing they can do about it but face his wrath.

After Naruto unleashed his barrage of fist, he gave one strong punch *Bash* at Menma's face that pushed the half tilted arena floor back down.

*Crash*

After the arena floor was back down, Naruto landed on the other half of the arena. He crossed his arms and waited patiently for Menma to come out. After a while, Menma dragged himself out of the crater and stand up. He girted his teeth as he try to ignore the pain that flowed throughout his battered bruised body but with all of the red malicious chakra covering his body, no one could see how badly damaged his body was.

Naruto said, "So, tell me Menma. Who is the loser now? Who is the trash now? Who is the fucking weakling now? Please. Tell me."

Menma was now drowning in pure rage. How dare this trash mock him? How dare this trash beat him around like this? How dare this trash humiliate him in front of the entire audience and important figures? His pride took over and let the Kyuubi take over his body and mind.

"GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Menma now became an enraged berserk Jinchuuriki whose only goal is to destroy his enemy in front of him which was Naruto. Anyone else who gets in his way now would be killed.

Naruto said, "Is that all you could do? Roar at your enemy? Heh. This is what it perfectly means that the weakest roar the loudest. You are a perfect example of that."

With another roar, Menma charged at Naruto with intent to rip him apart and kill him but this time, Naruto didn't move from his sport or made any attempt to dodge. When Menma reached Naruto, he then unleashed his own powerful punches and clawed at him but to Naruto, they only felt like a bear was hitting him. Which to him were nothing but weak hits as he has been hit harder than that. Much much harder.

*Bash* *Bash* *Smash* *Bash*

As Menma was trying to beat up Naruto for a while, he became bored and decided to insult him more. Naruto said, "Ha ha! Do you fight all of your enemies with you blind rage? Or its just me?"

"GGGGGRRRRAAAAHHHH!!!"

*Bash* *Bash* *Smash* *Bash*

Menma roared in rage and attack Naruto again but he simply brushed them off like his attack were nothing to him. Which was true by the way.

Naruto again mock him by saying, "Oh! Do you have an umbrella? Because I think I felt a rain drop. A really really reeeeeaaaaaalllllllyyyyy pathetic tiny insignificant rain drop."

"RRRRROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!

*Bash* *Smash* *Bash*

Naruto didn't felt much from his attacker and mocked him again, "Get it through your thick skull and pea size brain Menma. You attacks, your speed, your skill, your Jutsu, even the Kyuubi's chakra! Everything that you throw at me is useless!"

*Bash*

Naruto punched Menma in his left cheek which lunged him back. Menma's thought were stopped from that punch as blood spilled out from his opened mouth. He was again shocked to see how this trash stopped his mindless attack with a single punch. He will not take this anymore!

As Menma was being pushed back, he used the Kyuubi's chakra to create a clone of himself which emerged from his back. The clone then swipe his claw at Naruto's abdomen with intent to cut him in half.

*Shing*

Unfortunately, the attack was useless against Naruto as his muscles were much stronger than his attack. Only a few scratched were left from the attack.

This infuriated Menma who growled and jumped back. The clone vanished back into his back. Menma roared to the sky and several small blue and red orbs were ejected out of his body. The blue and red chakra orbs were scattered around the arena. He then brought all four of his tails in front of his face. Then all of the scattered blue and red orbs began to gather in front of Menma's face where they merged into a single purple ball.

After all of the blur and red orbs were fused into one purple orb the size of a foot ball, it began to shrink as it was being compressed. The purple orb shrink to the size of 5CM ball which send out a small shockwave that destroyed the area around Menma.

The purple was a small concentrated ball of pure visible chakra. The audience visibly trembled as they felt power coming off from the purple orb.

Naruto said, "What are you going to do with that? Its such a waste of chakra. Such a waste of potential."

Menma growled and opened his mouth wide. He then ate the whole thing in a single bite.

*Chomp* *Gulp*

Menma suddenly fell on the floor as his body became much heavier with that much chakra. Naruto chuckled and said, "Well what do you know. You should never eat things that can make you sluggish."

*Biki*

Suddenly Menma's body increased in size. His body became a ball shape because of the chakra inside his body began to expand and released its concentrated energy.

Naruto laughed and mocked him, "Seriously? You should never over eat. Now look at what happen to you. At least Choji can utilize all of that calories to chakra for their Jutsu! But what about you!? HUH! You should seriously let it out Menma. Its looking bad for you. ..... And you're looking a bit sick."

Menma growled in rage and opened his mouth. When he did this, he shot all of the chakra that was inside of his body, towards Naruto in the form of a beam that destroyed everything in its path.

*Booom*

The audience behind Naruto immediately screamed in fear and began to scatter away as they saw the destructive beam heading in their direction. Minato immediately stand up and was about to do something to defend the civilians from his son's attack but stop when Raikage said something.

Raikage said, "Hey! Why isn't that Naruto brat moving out of the beam's path!?"

Minato asked in shock, "What!?"

Minato and the other Kage look in confusion and shock at Naruto who didn't budge from his position. Heck! He didn't even look like he was worried for a second. They all gasped at what Naruto did next.

Naruto just smirked and raised one of his hands in front of him. When the beam made contact with his hand, the destructive beam began to seep into his hand. Naruto was using the Preta Path to absorb the destructive beam and within seconds, the beam disappeared and was absorbed into his hand.

......

..........

..................

"......EH!????"

Silence reign the air as everyone stood shock and awe at what just happened. Even the terrified civilians stopped in their track and look at Naruto in disbelief. They were just seconds before they were about to die but were saved by none other than Naruto.

Naruto pointed at Menma and said, "Hah! You suck!"

Naruto's friend laugh at that. Even some civilians joined them. Minato stood shock at his eldest unique skill. The other Kages were also shocked to see something like this.

Naruto said with a serious tone, "Are you done? Good. Cause now I am not holding back. I will now show what my true strength really is!"

*Crash* *Crack* *Crumble*

Naruto raised his left leg and stomp it on the marble floor which made several cracks spread around on one half of the arena floor.

Genma who was acting as a referee for the match, who have been dodging these two genin's destructive attacks, sweat drop at the display of Naruto's monstrous strength.

Genma thought 'Where is the time when genins just pass with simple techniques?'

*Crash* *Crash* *Crash* *Crash* *Crash*

Naruto then took a few but very heavy and powerful steps that not only made huge cracks on one half of the arena's floor but also shook the whole arena as well. The audience were shaking as the whole arena trembled from Naruto's powerful steps. Even his friends were having a hard time to stand still.

Kiba asked, "What the hell is Naruto doing!?"

Lee said, "While Naruto is driving his foot into the floor, he's already .... what's with that insane foot work!?"

Choji said, "I don't know!? Do you have any knowledge about this Shikamaru!?"

Shikamaru shook his head and said, "Troublesome. I don't know what Naruto's doing but I think he is preparing a powerful strike!"

Gai said, "Hmm. I think I know what Naruto is doing."

Tenten asked, "You do? What's Naruto doing?"

Gai said, "There was a theory in the past but was never proven. According to the theory, the more powerful steps you take, the stronger your attacks become. But with the level of Naruto's foot work ....? I don't know how strong his attacks will become as I have never seen such an extreme example of it before!"

Ino said, "Seriously!? Just how much stronger has Naruto become!?"

As Naruto took powerful steps, he was getting closer to the still shocked Menma. These powerful steps was Asura's idea. By taking powerful steps, kinetic energy is generated from this which he then absorbs from his feet and into his fist. After gathering a huge amount of kinetic energy, he was ready. Naruto appeared in front of Menma in the blink of an eye and pulled his right fist back.

Naruto shouted, "CLENCH YOUR TEETH! HOOOOORAAYAA!"

*BAASSSHHHH*

Naruto gave a devastating punch to Menma's gut which launched him on the other side of the arena's wall. He was lunched with such force that he *Crash* crashed through the wall and flew into the village. On his path, Menma crashed through several buildings without stopping which further damaged his body. After crashing through several buildings, Menma finally crashed into the ground but he bounced a few times before *Crash* crashing into the gate of the village's entrance. Scratch that. Menma crashed and broke through the gate and fell outside of the village.

Menma was lunched all the way from the arena and he landed outside of the village. When the punch made contact with Menma, all of the kinetic energy was released into his body, damaging and breaking his body beyond the point that it would take a good amount of time to heal. That final punch was too much for Menma. The immense amount of pain coursing through his body made him lost his conscious while the Kyuubi's chakra slowly healed his broken body.

Back At The Arena

The entire audience, plus the Kages and Daimyos were silent as they have just witness the sheer display of strength a genin has showed to them. This genin. This .... Naruto has left the entire audience, even his own friends speechless. He has just shown the world how he took on the most powerful Jinchuuriki, the container of the Kyuubi, and literally beat him around like a rag doll. Naruto completely controlled this fight and he utterly dominated his opponent.

In The Kage Section

All five Kage were left in utter shock. Raikage was shocked and awe to see a genin who not only displayed his muscles but beat a Jinchuuriki with nothing but Taijutsu. He was greatly impressed by Naruto. Onoki was shocked and interested in Naruto as he saw how fast and strong he was. He was further impressed when Naruto made the destructive beam disappeared with his hand. Mei was now 100% sure that the Naruto in the arena was the same Naruto who helped her in fighting Yagura's forces.

Rasa(Orichimaru) was now more interested in Naruto than Sasuke Uchiha. He was mesmerized with Naruto's strength and durability. Just thinking of what treasure his body holds made him grin under his mask.

Minato was left utter shock and dumbfounded at Naruto's skill. He just saw his son Menma, the holder of the Kyuubi's chakra, get beaten around like a rag doll by his eldest son Naruto, who didn't received any training from him of his family. Naruto has completely beaten Menma, the village's hero, in front of everyone with nothing but Taijutsu!

Minato was happy that Naruto was not some weakling but he immediately became sorrowful when he realized how he treated him in the past. Apologizing to him was the least of his worries. With such strength, he would think that Naruto would either beat him up or leave the village and join another minor village. If Naruto joined another village, then that village would become a powerful village that will rival other villages. No. He needs Naruto to stay in this village but how? He already knows that Naruto hates him and his family. There must be another way to keep him here.

In The Daimyo Section

The Daimyos were all impressed to the core by Naruto's display of skills. The Fire daimyo was extremely happy that Naruto was this strong and he was his friend and work for him. If any future enemy make the Fire daimyo, then he does not need to worry because Naruto will wipe them out with ease.

In The Arena

Genma gulped and shakily raised his hand and announced, "W-winner Naruto Vajura!"

No one clapped as they were still in a shock state. Naruto's friends were the only ones who clapped and cheered for his victory.

"You bastard! How dare you make a fool out of us!"

The happy moment was broken when a spoiled brat shouted. This brat was none other than the other hero of the village, Narumi. She was standing on the rail as her whole body was covered in the Kyuubi's chakra.

She shouted, "How dare a no name trash like you beat Menma!? He is your better! You should have bowed to him and let him beat you up!"

Narumi's skin peeled off by the red chakra and black smoke surrounded her body. From within the smoke, she shouted, "A clanless loser like you should know your place! Which is beneath our feet!"

The smoke dissipate and Narumi was now in a berserk Kyuubi made. She shouted, "And I am going to show you your true place trash!?"

*Boom*

Narumi used the railing to push herself towards Naruto with such strength, that the railings exploded under the pressure. She flew towards Naruto with murderous intent. How dare this trash humiliated them in front of everyone! She will kill him and restore honor to her and her brother's clan.

Naruto's back was facing her which only angered her more. He wasn't even listening to her as he was preparing his next attack for her. She became blinded by rage and lunged at him, ready to kill him. She would kill him and rip his head off. She will then show everyone his head and boast how a weakling like him can never beat them. However, that didn't went as she planned inside her head.

As Narumi was coming closer, Naruto gathered huge amount of strength into his right leg. He then *CRASH* stomp the other half of the arena's floor which made the entire arena along with the audience jump a bit. He stomp the arena so hard that several huge cracks spread throughout half of the arena which destroyed it completely. Naruto gathered a huge amount of kinetic energy from this stomp and send it into his left leg.

After gathering a huge amount of kinetic energy into his left leg, Naruto spun around on his right leg and swung his left leg into Narumi's chest.

*BAASSHH*

Narumi's world went dark as soon as the kick made contact with her. She was planing to kill her loser of a brother but it completely turned upside down. She received a powerful kick in her chest which not only *Crack* destroyed her rib cage but the kinetic energy was released inside her body which destroyed more and more of her body. The kick send her soaring towards the arena's wall and *Crash* she crashed through it and flew straight throughout the village and into the outskirt of the village.

Again, silence took hold of the arena. This time Naruto beat another Jinchuuriki with a single strike! Naruto lowered his leg foot on the ground and stood on his full height. He gaze at the audience's shocked and eyes full of disbelief. He like this. Seeing as the weakest beat their strongest with ease. His eyes then stopped upon the person that he hated with all of his heart. Minato. He glared at that bastard with killing Intent. Minato flinch from the killing Intent that Naruto was sending him.

Genma announced, "Narumi Uzumaki Namikaze has been disqualified for attacking Naruto Vajura! Winner Tenten due to disqualification!"

Naruto's friends laughed at that. Narumi straight out attacked Naruto who was not her opponent. Thus she has been disqualified. Tenten who was suppose to fight Narumi was now the winner because her opponent was disqualified.

Minato told his ANBU to bring his two children Menma and Narumi back into the village and send them to the hospital. The ANBU nodded and left the arena in search for the Hokage's children. When they were found, the ANBU brought them to the hospital where they doctors began to heal them.

As Naruto was leaving the arena, Genma said, "Next match is between Gaara and Kankuro! Will the two come down to the arena!"

Gaara VS Kankuro

Gaara appeared in the arena in a swirl of sand. Kankuro's eyes were immediately filled with fear. He raised his hand and shouted, "I surrender! I don't want to fight Gaara! I'll die if I fight him!"

Genma said, "Winner Gaara of the desert!"

The audience booed Kankuro for being a wuss but he didn't mind as he gets to live. Also, he needs to be ready for the secret invasion.

Genma said, "Next match will be between Naruto Vajura and Gaara! Will the two please come- oh! You two are already present."

Naruto didn't even had enough time to leave the arena when his next match was up in no time but he didn't mind. He was now going to fight Gaara. Both Gaara and Naruto look at each other in silence as they got ready to fight.

Genma said, "Are both sides ready! Now ... Beg-!?"

Genma didn't get to finish his sentence when a swirl of leaves formed in the center of the arena. From the swirling leafs, two people appeared which made Naruto angry. Sakura immediately cheered for one of the people. Kakashi and Sasuke have arrived in the arena.

Kakashi was reading on of his prone book and said, "Sorry we're late. We were a bit busy with Sasuke's training. Where is his opponent?"

Genma said, "Unfortunately, Sasuke Uchiha has been disqualified due to being late for his match."

This shocked Kakashi and Sasuke both. Sasuke said, "How dare you disqualified me!? I am an elite Uchiha! I demand that I fight in this tournament!"

Kakashi look arond the arena and saw so much destruction. His eyes then fell on Naruto. His eyes widen when he saw a replica of Minato but shook his head when he realized who Naruto was. He was the holder of the Kyuubi's soul. This made his hate for the Kyuubi raise.

Kakashi said, "Hey Genma. Why don't Sasuke fight Naruto?"

Genma asked, "Why should he? This isn't his match."

Kakashi said, "Well, most of the people are here to see Sasuke fight and when he wins against Naruto, he would get to fight that kid over there with the gourd. I mean that it would be a lot interesting to see Sasuke's fight rather than a weak genin Naruto, right?"

Genma was disgusted by what Kakashi said. He shook his head and said, "I can't do that Kakashi. Naruto has earned his match and besides, he is not weak as you think he is."

Sasuke said, "What? That loser is not weak. Hmph. A clanless loser like him is nothing against an elite Uchiha like me!"

Kakashi said, "That's right Sasuke. He is nothing against you."

Kakashi then turned towards Naruto and said, "Now Naruto. Why don't you fight with Sasuke. I don't think you win but just hang in there, okay?"

Naruto chuckled and said, "You really are too blind for your own good, Kakashi."

Kakashi asked with a glare, "What do you mean by that Naruto?"

Naruto said, "Its simple. Your head is so far up in your ass that you can't see the truth in front of you. Pathetic. The son of the famous White Fang turn out like this piece of trash. What a waste of space."

Kakashi was shaking with rage when he was insulted. He said, "I choose my words correctly .. demon."

Naruto stop laughing and said with a serious face, "And as for my response to you Kakashi?"

*Crash*

Naruto appeared in front of Kakashi with speed that left both Gaara and Sasuke in shock. Naruto grabbed Kakashi's face and slammed his head into he marble floor. A small crater was formed under his head.

Naruto said, "A weakling and a hypocrite like you have no say in anything. Out of my sight you piece of trash!"

Naruto then flung Kakashi to the side with one hand. Kakashi was thrown with enough force to *Crash* crashed into the audience's wall. He pulled himself out from the wall and staggered for a bit. He glared hatefully at Naruto for disrespecting him.

When Kakashi was about to charge at Naruto, Gai said, "Hey Kakashi! Stop interfering with the match and get your ass out from the arena! Everyone is waiting to see a good match!"

Kakashi was shocked that Gai used the word "Ass". He never used those kind of words against anyone. Not even on him as his rival. Kakashi glare at Naruto one more time before jumping up the railing and met with Gai.

Kakashi asked, "Hey Gai. When did you start using such language?"

Gai said, "Ever since I found you unworthy of being my rival."

Kakashi said, "What? Never mind. What's with all of the destruction? And when did the arena had a marble floor?"

Gai chuckled and said, "You can thank Naruto for that."

Kakashi said, "What?"

Gai said, "The hard marble floor? The splitting of the arena into two pieces? The destruction of the arena's floor? It was all Naruto."

Kakashi said, "No. You must be joking. A dem- weak genin like Naruto couldn't possibly done this much damage."

Gai snorted and said, "That is why you are not my rival anymore. You have failed to see the potential in others. All you do now is focus your attention of the last Uchiha."

Kakashi said, "Gai. You know that its because-"

Gai cut him off and said, "It has to do something with one of your dead friend, right? Even so, what you are doing is favoritism which would insult your dead friend!"

Kakashi shook his head and said, "You don't know anything Gai. You didn't know my friend and what he did in his dying breath."

Gai scoffed and said, "On the contrary, I know exactly what your friend did."

In The Arena

Genma said, "Sasuke Uchiha. Please leave the arena, so that the match between Naruto Vajura and Gaara could begin."

Sasuke said, "Why should I leave? I am an elite Uchiha who should be fighting them! Its my right!"

Genma said, "Susuke Uchiha. If you don't leave the arena, It will be forced to-"

Naruto raised his hand and Genma asked, "Yes. What is it Naruto?"

Naruto said, "I don't mind having Sasuke fight us."

Genma asked, "What about Gaara?"

Naruto shrug his shoulder and said, "I'm sure he doesn't mind either."

Genma looked towards Gaara and asked, "You don't mind having Sasuke join this match, do you?"

Gaara said, "I don't mind it at all. This way, I get to kill both of them."

Sasuke said in a smug tone, "Well, it looks like you at least see who your better are loser."

Naruto said, "You're right. I see you nothing more than a stepping stone for my plans."

Sasuke snarled in rage at that comment. Genma look towards Minato who nodded. He nodded himself and said, "Okay. The match has been changed! Gaara Vs Sasuke Uchiha VS Naruto Vajura! Are all of you ready? Now ... Begin!"

Sasuke immediately lunged at Naruto and said, "I will show you who the better one here is trash!"

Naruto did a hand sign that said "Bring it on" which only angered Sasuke. Sasuke punch and kick Naruto but he deflected all of them by moving his hands in a circular manner. Sasuke pulled out a kunai and attempted to cut him but *Crackle* the blade simply broke against his tough skin. Sasuke growled and continued to fight Naruto, even if his attacks were useless against him.

Gaara saw his two prey fighting with each other and were ignoring him. He observed them fighting and saw that Sasuke's attacks were completely ineffective against Naruto. So he decided to get rid of the weaker one. The gourd on his back expelled a lot of sand that went like a wave towards Sasuke. The sand approached him from behind in order to catch him off guard.

However, Sasuke felt something coming from behind him and quickly jumped away. He saw that a lot of sand went pass him and instead of getting him, the sand grabbed Naruto. Sasuke grinned when he saw Naruto being wrapped in sand as he knew what was going to happen next. Gaara was going to kill Naruto.

Sasuke said, "See this loser? You are nothing special. You can't even come up with me, an elite Uchiha and now you will die! Ha ha ha ha!"

Gaara said, "Mother ... I am sorry for feeding you some nasty blood in the forest. But this time, I will now feed you some tasty blood. It will be delicious."

In The Audience

Kankuro in the audience said, "Finally, Gaara is beginning his conversation with that thing. This is bad."

Temari besides him said, "I have never seen Gaara like this before a fight. Is he really that much of a opponent?"

Kakashi said, "Well, I'm sorry to say that Naruto is going to die."

Kakashi was happy on the inside that the demon is finally going to die. But his happiness vanished at what Asuma said next.

Asuma said, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch Kakashi."

Kakashi asked, "What? What do you mean?"

Kurenai said, "Just watch and you will understand not to underestimate Naruto Vajura."

In The Arena

When Gaara's sand covered Naruto's whole body, Gaara clenched his fist and said, "Sand Style Sand Coffin"

*Crunch*

The sand wrapped around Naruto was compressed and sound of crunching was emitted from it which meant that Naruto was crushed. Sasuke just smirked at his death. He was getting in his way of obtaining power and now, he has been taken care of.

In The Kage Section

Minato felt his heart ache when he saw his son being killed right in front of him. The other Kage were a bit disappointed in Naruto's death. Mei was sniffing that Naruto was now dead and she can't marry such a hunk. Ōnoki click his tongue for wasting such a powerful shinobi. Raikage slammed his fist on the railing for the loss of a muscle shinobi. Rasa(Orichimaru) was disappointed that he lost a great experiment material.

In The Daimyo Section

The daimyo were shocked and sadden by Naruto's death. However, the Fire daimyo still believed that his friend Naruto was alive. And he was right.

In The Audience

Kakashi was smiling on the inside at Naruto's death. However, he became confused when he saw the genins were not effect by his death. They just stand there as they kept on looking at the sand that crushed Naruto.

Kakashi asked, "What's the matter? Why aren't you affected by Naruto's death?"

Kiba said, "That's easy Kakashi. Naruto's not dead."

Kakashi said in confusion, "Huh?"

Ino said, "It will take more than some sand to beat him."

Shino said, "Correct. Naruto has become physically stronger than the rest of us. Thus his body muscles have became much harder than before. Which means that Naruto is fine under all of that crushing sand."

Shikamaru said, "Troublesome. Naruto is going to beat both of them with ease."

Kakashi said, "Don't joke about that. Naruto is a weak genin and will always will be. He is nothing to Sasuke."

Asuma said, "That is where you are wrong Kakashi."

Kakashi asked, "What?"

Asuma said, "With the amount of strength Naruto has shown everyone, I think that he could even fight toe to toe with our Hokage."

Kakashi said, "That's impossible! For that, he has to be-"

Asuma said, "Very strong and talented? Yes. Naruto is just that. While you can't seem to see past your hatred, others have saw his full potential and helped him. With proper training, I can guarantee that Naruto can become the world's strongest shinobi. There will be no equal to him in power or skill. Naruto will be one of a kind."

In The Arena

Sasuke look at Gaara and said, "I will at least thank you for getting rid of that thorn out of my life. Now let me show you who you are fighting against!"

However, Gaara didn't payed attention to him. He was looking at the sand which still stood there. Sasuke followed his gaze and look at the pile of sand standing there where Naruto was just moments ago. Everyone's eyes widen when the pile of sand bulged a bit. From that bulge, a hand came out. The hand then grabbed the sand and ripped it off into pieces. Soon an uninjured Naruto emerged from the sand that was meant to kill him.

Gaara, Temari and Kankruo look at Naruto in disbelief. The Sand Coffin was meant to kill anyone in one go but that Jutsu didn't worked against Naruto. He wasn't even scratched!

Sasuke growled that Naruto was not dead. He said, "Hey loser! How did you survive that!?"

Naruto said, "Eat lots of vegetable and milk and exercise a lot. Then your muscles will become hard enough to survive even Gaara's crushing sand."

Sasuke snarled, "Liar! Tell me the truth, you trash!"

Naruto said, "You can't handle the truth."

Sasuke roared and charged madly towards Naruto. He was intent on killing him but every attack he send was blocked, deflected and even dodged. Gaara again used his sand to wrap Naruto in it and used "Sand Style Sand Coffin" but Naruto was unaffected by this and simply walk through the sand with ease.

Gaara then shot projectiles like "Sand Shuriken" but they failed to even put a scratch on Naruto who wasn't even paying attention to him for the time being. Sasuke lunge at him with a kick but Naruto simply grabbed his leg and then proceed to slam him on the floor several times like a rag doll.

*Crash* *Crash* *Crash* *Crash* *Crash*

After slamming Sasuke for several times, Naruto then threw him towards the arena's wall.

Naruto scoffed and said, "Puny Uchiha."

Sasuke was pretty injured from that merciless beating but he managed to spin himself and landed on the wall instead of crashing. Sasuke then ran upwards the wall and reached the highest point. After reaching the highest point, Sasuke glared down at Naruto with hate filled eyes.

Sasuke said, "How dare you humiliate me like that trash!? You are nothing to me! I am an elite Uchiha!"

Sasuke crouch down and grab his left arm. He then began to gather chakra into his left arm and soon, white lightning spark around his arm. Then they became brighter and emitted sound like thousand birds were chirping.

*ChiChiChiChiChiChiChiChi*

Sasuke look at Naruto with a mad smile. He said, "I will show you who you are messing with, trash!"

Sasuke then began to ran down the wall and charged straight towards Naruto who didn't moved. He wasn't even worry about his lightning Jutsu. In fact, Naruto seemed a bit bored. Sasuke only got angry at Naruto's behavior and charged at him with his left lightning hand stretched out.

When Sasuke reached Naruto, he thrust his lightning hand into Naruto's chest and shouted, "Die you trash! Chidori!"

However, before the Chidori could even touch him, Naruto, without making any hand sign, said, "Plasma Style Plasma Armor"

*Crackle* *Cracrackle*

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Immediately Sasuke screamed in pain as he was heavily shocked and thrown back. He was thrown back quite a good distance away from Naruto. When he couldn't get up because his body was being continuously shocked he turn his head towards Naruto. He along with the rest of the audience state in shock at what just happened. Naruto was now covered in a sphere of pure hardened Plasma Chakra. Plasma chakra is made when combine Wind and Fire chakra. Within this sphere, Naruto was protected against all kind of attacks. The sphere even reflect and damage any enemy who dare touch it.

The Kage, the Daimyo and the entire audience were left utter speechless at the very rare Jutsu Naruto just displayed. Even the Raikage, a lightning user couldn't recognize the Jutsu Naruto did but it was an powerful defensive and offensive Jutsu.

In The Audience

Kakashi was stunned into stupidity when he saw Naruto of all has beaten his prize student Sasuke with ease.

Asuma saw this and said, "So, what did you said about Naruto being weak?"

Kakashi stutter, "What .. but .. that ... how?"

Gai laugh and said, "Its because you have failed to see Naruto's true potential. Because of your hatred for the Kyuubi, you only saw Naruto as a demon. That is why Sasuke lost to him as he severely underestimated him."

In The Arena

The plasma sphere disappeared and Naruto then walk towards Sasuke who lay on the floor. He asked, "Hmmm. What did you say to me about messing with you? What was all that talk about how an elite Uchiha you are and about showing me who I am fighting with? Huh? I'm waiting."

Sasuke couldn't speak as he was being shocked. He simply growled and glared hatefully at him. Naruto sigh and said, "If you want to boast about your blood and stuff, then simply become stronger. Don't go and take on more than you chew Sasuke. This is what will happen in the real world. Now, please leave so that Gaara and I can fight without any nuisance."

Naruto saw that Sasuke couldn't even move after being shocked. He sigh and bend down to grab Sasuke's leg. He then threw Sasuke towards Kakashi who grabbed him and glared at Naruto who simply ignored him as he was an insignificant thing to him. Naruto then look towards Gaara and saw his sand swirling around him in a protective manner.

Naruto said, "Sorry about that. Now that we are alone, shall we dance?"

Gaara nodded and his sand transformed into several hands made of sand. Both of them got ready for their fight. Naruto Vajura, the former Jinchuuriki of nine tail Kyuubi VS Gaara of the desert, the current container of the one tail Shukaku.

Play this epic battle music.

Naruto charged at Gaara who used his floating sand hands to fight him. When the sand hands flew at Naruto, he *Bash* punched and *Bash* kicked them with such force that they exploded from the impact. None of the sand hands were even getting close to Naruto as he punch them instantly.

Instead of sending one or two sand hands, Gaara send all twenty of his sand hands at Naruto but it didn't stop him from charging at Gaara. Naruto saw the incoming sand hands and when they were close enough, Naruto's left arm muscles bulge in size. Then he swung his left arm horizontally with such force that a powerful wind pressure was released from his swing that flew towards the incoming sand hands. The wind pressure was so strong that all of the sand hands were destroyed by it and caused a small shockwave to be released.

After dealing with the sand hands, Naruto lunged at Gaara and began to swung his fists around. Gaara was not that good in close quarter combat, so he jumped back and dodge the attacks. Just barely. Naruto saw Gaara having some trouble in fighting close range, so he increased the speed of his attack. Sand began to swirl around Gaara in order to protect him but Naruto's punches easily break through them. After punching several times, Naruto sun around and gave a powerful kick. Gaara saw this and immediately covered himself in a cocoon of sand to protect himself.

*Bash*

However, when Naruto's kick made contact with the sand, Gaara was shocked that he and his sand were kicked back with such force that a huge trench was made as he was pushed back along with his sand. Naruto's kick was strong and heavy.

Temari and Konkruo were shocked as well. No one has managed to push Gaara. Not even a centimeter but here is Naruto who was fighting equally against Gaara and even pushed him and his sand away with nothing but Taijutsu. What's more is that the sand armor that Gaara wore cracked which further choked him and his siblings. Naruto was able to break his sand armor through his sand defense.

Gaara narrowed his eyes and spread his arms. His sand began to seep into the arena and disappeared. Then the arena floor was trembling which stop Naruto in his track.

*Boom*

Suddenly, part of the arena floor exploded and from it, a huge amount of sand came out. Gaara used his sand to seep into the dirt beneath the marble floor and turn it into more sand. Now, Gaara has the advantage over his opponent. That is if Naruto doesn't have something to say to him. Which he has!

Naruto said, "Do you really think that you can win if you have a good amount of sand that you can control? Wrong. Very wrong. Why? Let me show you how others can easily make your sand useless."

Naruto formed some hand signs and shouted, "Water Style Water Colliding Wave!"

*Splash*

Naruto spits out a great volume of water from his mouth. The water rush and spread around in every direction, swallowing up anything and even crushing the marble floor.

Gaara's eyes widen when he saw the huge amount of water coming at him. He immediately jumped back and jumped towards the wall. However, he didn't reached the wall before getting wet from the water waves. After standing on the arena's wall, he look down at the arena and his eyes further widen when he saw the huge amount of water. Naruto spit out so much water that the arena was almost full of water.

In The Kage Section

The Kages were again shocked to their core. A genin produced that much water when there was not even a drop of water around was just impossible. Only the second Hokage Tobirama Senju was able to produce that much water out of nowhere. Orichimaru's interest in Naruto was increasing more and more while Minato's guilt increased more and more as he see just how better and stronger Naruto has become.

In The Arena

Naruto stand atop of the water as he look at Gaara with a smile. He said, "If you think that's all I got, you're dead wrong."

Naruto dived into the water and swam down towards the marble floor. When he reached the floor, he made some hand signs and slammed it down on it and shouted under water, "*Blub*od St*Blub* Na*Blub*ty *Blub* A W*Blub* O*Blub*s!"

The water began to shake violently and then suddenly, huge amount of trees emerged from it. The trees kept on growing until they became big enough to fill the entire arena. The water was absorbed by the trees for their quick growth.

This again left everyone speechless. Naruto was able to perform a Wood Jutsu and just not any Jutsu. This was the first Hokage and one of the founder of Konohagakure, Hashirama Senju's signature move called "Wood Style Nativity Of A World Of Trees".

A user is able to turn an area into a vast forest in a matter of mere moments, complete with trees and even grass growing out of any terrain he is on. And Naruto was able to perform an extinct Jutsu!

Naruto jumped on top of a tree and was coughing up a storm. He coughed out, "*Cough* *Cough* *Cough* Note *Cough* *Cough* to self. *Cough* *Cough* Don't *Cough* speak *Cough* under *Cough* water or *Cough* *Cough* you'll get *Cough* drown. *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*"

Naruto's friends sweat drop at that. They just shook their head and said that Naruto will always be Naruto, no matter what. They even chuckled at his stupidity.

After coughing out the water in his lungs, Naruto look around the huge forest he created. He gave a satisfying nod at that. He then looked at the shock expression of the audience and liked it. He then look at Gaara and saw him looking him in shock and disbelief.

Naruto smirked and said, "How you like that Gaara? Without sand and with such small space for fighting, you will be at a disadvantage. But that won't be fair to you now would it? Let me level the plain field."

Naruto made some hand signs and shouted, "Lava Style Lava Stream!"

Naruto then spit out a huge stream of boiling lava into the air. The lava crashed down on the trees and floor and began to spread around while melting and burning anything it comes in contact with. In no time, the whole forest was caught on fire and began to burn. The trees even began to sink into the molten lava and were burned to ashes. All of that beautiful forest was burned down within seconds from Naruto's lava.

After the trees were burned away, only molten lava was left behind. The arena was now filled with lava and Naruto shocked everyone by standing on top of the molten lava.

Naruto said, "Come on in Gaara. The lava is nice and warm."

Naruto bend down and hit the lava with his hand. However, his hand didn't burn from the molten lava which shocked the others.

Naruto said, "No? Okay then. Shall we dance again?"

Naruto swung his hand in a circular motion and shot some blobs of lava towards Gaara. Gaara's eyes widen when he saw small blobs of lava coming towards him. He immediately jump away while keeping himself stuck on the wall surface.

*Splash* *Sizzle*

The blobs of lava splashed on the spot where Gaara was and melted that part of the wall. Gaara look back at Naruto with fear in his eyes. Naruto grin sadistically and threw some more blobs of lava at him. Gaara couldn't do anything except run around and dodge the incoming lava blobs. Without his sand, he couldn't fight Naruto at all. Now he can't even get close enough because lava now filled the arena.

Gaara only had a small amount of sand inside his clothes that avoided becoming wet. He took what little sand he had on him and throw it into the wall. The sand seeped into that wall and began to grind it and turn the solid rocks into more sand. After a while of dogging, Gaara stopped dodging which confused Naruto.

Naruto asked, "Hey Gaara! Why aren't you running away!? Are you going to fight me now!?"

Gaara didn't say anything and stand still on the wall. Naruto shrug his shoulder and threw a blob of lava at him. However, when the blob of lava was about to hit Gaara, the wall exploded and a huge amount of sand came out which then became a wall in front of Gaara. The lava blob splash harmlessly on the wall of sand. Now Gaara was back in the game as he now possess a huge amount of sand.

Gaara then used his sand to shot out "Sand Shuriken" towards Naruto. The former Jinchuuriki saw several sand projectiles flying towards him. He immediately clap his hands and stomped the lava beneath him. The lava splashed around and a "Lava Wall" was formed in front of him that protected him. The wall of lava stopped the sand projectiles and melted them.

Naruto jumped up and dived into the lava which shocked everyone. Naruto was fine as the lava that he was swimming in was made from his own chakra. This was why the lava didn't burn him. Naruto swam under the lava and appeared below Gaara. Naruto then swam upwards and jumped out from the lava. He appeared in front of Gaara while being covered from head to toe in molten lava.

Gaara's eyes widen when he saw a lava covered Naruto in front of him. He commanded his sand to protect him and attack Naruto but the sands weren't fast enough.

*Bash* *Sizzle*

Naruto punched Gaara right in his face that made him crashed into the wall. Since Naruto was covered in lava, his fist was also covered in it. So when he punched Gaara, the lava on his fist splashed on Gaara's face. The lava immediately began to burn Gaara's face but he think quickly and detached the face armor he wore.

Gaara had a layer of sand cover his entire body which acts like a sand armor. Since the lava hit his face, he simply had to detached the sand armor on his face to avoid getting burned. After Gaara protected himself from getting burned, he immediately attacked Naruto but stopped right in his track when he saw Naruto walking away ..... while being on air!

This again shocked everyone when they saw Naruto walking on thin air. How much more is Naruto going to shock them!?

In The Kage Section

All of the Kage were staring Naruto in disbelief. Especially Ōnoki since he can use the flying Jutsu.

Raikage asked, "Hey Ōnoki. Is that brat using your flying Jutsu?"

Ōnoki shook his head and said, "No. My flying Jutsu allows me to float and fly around but what Naruto is doing is completely different."

Mei asked, "What's the difference?"

Ōnoki said, "Naruto is doing the impossible. He is actually walking on thin air!"

Raikage asked, "How is he doing that?"

Ōnoki shook his head and said, "I don't know how he is doing that but I can say that its very unique and requires a lot of concentration. Ha! Naruto just keeps on surprising us."

In The Audience

Kakashi and Sasuke were both staring Naruto in shock. They were using their Sharingan to try and copy Naruto's Jutsu and skills. However, they were shocked to find out that they couldn't copy any abilities Naruto has shown.

Sasuke said, "Why can't I copy that loser's Jutsu!?"

Kakashi said, "I don't know Sasuke but I don't think that there is anything wrong with our Sharingan."

Sasuke asked, "Then why!? I should be able to copy his skills! I am an elite Uchiha!"

Shino heard them and said, "Did you seriously think that Naruto would just reveal his skills and not take measure against someone stealing his hard work? If you really thought that then you are sadly mistaken."

Kakashi asked, "What do you mean by that? How can he prevent a Sharingan from copying others skill?"

Kiba laughed and said, "Ha! Like Naruto would ever let someone steal all of his hard work. He doesn't give or teach others if they aren't worthy of it."

Choji said, "That's right. Naruto is the only one who taught us and found a way to stop the Sharingan from copying our skills."

Sasuke said in anger, "How dare he do that? I am an Uchiha! And I demand that he gives me everything he learned!"

Sakura said, "That Naruto Baka! He should be honored to give Sasuke his Jutsu!"

Shikamaru said, "Sasuke doesn't deserve anything."

Sasuke said, "What did you say?"

Shikamaru said, "Let me tell you something Sasuke. The Uchiha are nothing but thief who steal other ninjas hard work with their eyes. They are a stain among the ninja world."

Sasuke shouted, "How dare you say that, you trash!"

Sakura said, "Yeah! Sasuke is the best! So don't say anything bad about him!"

Kakashi said, "Don't desecrate to Uchina name genin. They are one of the most powerful and respected clan of this village."

Lee snorted at that and said, "You mean arrogant people who act all high and mighty. They are nothing but thieves who steal other shinobi's hard work for themselves."

Sasuke and Kakashi growled and were about to attack them when they stop and found themselves unable to move. The look down and saw a shadow touching their own shadow. It was Shikamaru's Shadow Possession Jutsu.

Shikamaru said, "I advise you two not to attack any of us as each of us can easily take down 10 jonin with ease."

Sasuke and Kakashi were stunned to hear that. Sakura said, "Shikamaru! How dare you! Let Sasuke go this instant!"

Ino said, "Shut your mouth Sakura. We are not your average genins anymore. With Naruto helping us, we became stronger than everyone else. Including your precious Uchiha."

Shino said, "Now that you know not to mess with us. I suggest that you three shut your mouth and continue to see what Naruto is capable of doing."

Sasuke, Kakashi and Sakura silently look down at Naruto's battle. Sasuke just seethed at what was said about his clan and how strong Naruto was. He deserve that kind of power and he will have it one way or another!

In The Arena

After walking away a good distance, Naruto stop walking on thin air and turn around to face Gaara who was still shocked at what he saw. Naruto chuckled and gave a hand sign that said "Come on."

Gaara came out of his shock and threw sand projectiles. Naruto saw this and made some hand signs. He then raised his arm and swung downwards vertically while saying "Wind Style Wind Cutter!"

*Shing*

Naruto lunched a compressed wind blade that flew towards Gaara while cutting up the sand projectiles. Gaara saw the wind blade coming towards him and commanded his sand to form a sand wall in front of him. He thought that his sand wall would stop the wind blade and protect him but he was severely wrong.

When the wind blade made contact with the sand wall, *Shing* it easily cut through it like butter. The blade didn't stop at the sand wall. It continued forward and cut Gaara's right shoulder.

*Drip* *Drip*

Blood dripped from Gaara's wounded shoulder. This caused him to touch his left should and look at his blood in shock.

Gaara then screamed in shock, "BLOOD! ITS MY BLOOD!"

In The Audience

Temari and Konkruo were shocked to see that Gaara was wounded. Konkruo said, "Now way. It can't be?"

Temari said, "Gaara was wounded?"

An ANBU who was Kabuto in disguise brought his hands together and cast an area wide Genjutsu that put everyone under sleep. However, The jonins, and chunins immediately noticed the sleeping Genjutsu and brought their hands together and saw "Kai!".

They released themselves from falling under the Genjutsu. Kakashi looked at Naruto's friends and saw them simply standing there and watching the match. They were not effected by the Genjutsu at all which shocked Kakashi.

Kakashi asked, "Why are any of you effect by the Genjutsu?"

Kiba said, "Like a weak and pathetic Genjutsu can effect us."

*Boom*

Immediately, the Kage section exploded in smoke. Soon several ninjas wearing the Sand and Sound head bands appeared in the audience and began to attack them. The jounins and chunins of the leaf village soon began to attack the invaders.

Naruto's friends on the other hand just continue to watch Naruto's match. They didn't care about what was going on around them. Soon, come of the invaders saw the genins and leaped at them to kill them. However, they didn't even came close to them as they were quickly killed by Shikamaru's shadow which raised from the floor like a spike and skewered them. He only killed the sound ninjas but when it came to the sand ninjas, he knocked them out with a chop on the back of their neck.

Shikamaru sigh and said, "Naruto is so troublesome. He said to not to kill any sand ninjas if we fight them."

Choji said, "Damn. Because of these invaders, I would not be able to see Naruto's match anymore."

Kiba cracked his neck and said, "Then why don't we put them in their places?"

The genins grinned before disappearing in a blur of speed. Soon, there were sounds of killing and fighting going around the entire village.

In The Daimyo Section

All five of the daimyos were sitting in their chair as they saw the invasion going on. The wind daimyo said, "Why are my sand ninjas attacking the leaf village?"

Water daimyo said, "Don't ask me. Ask them. They are your ninjas."

Wind daimyo said, "I don't know anything about this. They didn't tell me anything."

Fire daimyo said, "Do not worry at all. My friend has us protected."

Earth daimyo asked, "What do you mean."

They were interrupted when two sound ninjas landed in front of them.

Lightning daimyo said, "You two. Tell us why are you attacking this village."

Sound ninja No.1 said, "Heheheh. Look at them. We get to kill the diamyo."

Sound ninja No.2 said, "And all 5 at that. Hehehehe."

Wind daimyo said, "How dare you. You dare to harm us, the daimyo!?"

Sound ninja No.1 said, "We don't care who you are. Orochimaru said to kill anyone and he meant anyone. Even if they are the daimyo themselves."

The two sound ninjas walk menacingly towards the daimyos. The fire daimyo smirked and said, "Oh I wouldn't do that if I were you two. That is if you don't want to die that is."

Sound ninja No.2 said, "What are you talk-grak!??"

*Slick* *Kerip*

Suddenly one hand came out of each of the sound ninja's chest. In the grip of the hands were a heart. The heart of the two sound ninjas who died instantly. When the corpses fell, there were two Naruto clones standing there. Then 3 more clones joined them.

The fire daimyo smiled and said, "I knew you would come for me Naruto."

The Naruto clone smiled and said, "Of course boss would. You are his friend which he treasure. Now we are here to take all of you away to a safe location where this invasion will not reach."

Earth daimyo said, "Wait. How do we know that you don't just take us away and then kill us yourself?"

Fire daimyo said, "Don't be like that. Naruto is my friend. He would not dare to break his own friendship since he treasure it."

The daimyo nodded and the clones grabbed each of them before disappearing in a black spark.

Unknown Room

In a spark of black lightning, the 5 daimyos appeared with the clones. They look around the room and saw that it was full of luxurious furniture and a giant screen on a wall.

Wind daimyo asked, "What is this place?"

A clone said, "Boss made this place for you guys, since he knew that an invasion would occur. He created this place to keep you all safe while the invasion is taken care off."

The daimyos sat on the soft sofa which was really comfortable. Fire daimyo said, "Oh. I just got to have one of these back at my house."

A clone said, "Of course you can. In fact, boss made several of these luxurious furniture for all of you to take home with you."

Another clone said, "While you all rest, why not see what's going on with the invasion."

The clone turned on the screen and it displayed what was going on in the village. Several sand and sound ninjas were battling leaf ninjas. It was a bloody fight where there were deaths. However, a group of genins, who were Naruto's friend, were only killing the sound ninjas while they knock out the sand ninjas.

Wind daimyo asked, "Why are they the only ones knocking out my sand ninjas while other leaf ninjas are killing them?"

A clone said, "That's because they are boss's friends. Boss told them about the invasion and that a certain snake is the one responsible tricking the sand ninjas into helping him in attacking this village."

Wind daimyo asked, "Who is this person that has tricked my sand ninjas into attacking the leaf village?"

A clone said, "The one who has tricked your sand ninjas into attacking the leaf village is an S Rank criminal and a leaf missing-nin. He is one of the Sannin called Orichimaru."

A clone came out with a ruling table that had several food on it. He said, "Now, why don't all of you eat some of the food boss made for you."

Fire daimyo's eyes quickly widen and said, "Did Naruto made these? Then I will have a large portion of everything on the table!"

The clone nodded and took pieces of food from every dishes and gave it to the fire daimyo who readily ate it with a happy face."

The other daimyo look at the fire daimyo in shock. Lightning daimyo asked, "Is the food really that good?"

Fire daimyo gasped and said, "Good? Good!? Its more than good! Its like a final piece of a puzzle that you have been trying to complete for years! I will tell you all this that whatever Naruto's cook, its to die for!

Earth daimyo said, "Surely you can't be serious about this? I have eaten some very delicious food from around the elemental nation."

Fire daimyo said, "If you don't believe me, then simply taste the food yourself. Then you will know that am right about Naruto's cooking!"

The other daimyos look at the food in question. Then they each took one dish and began to eat it. On their first bite, their eyes widen as several flavors exploded in their mouth.

"Delicious!!!"

Came the reply of the other daimyos. They quickly began to devour the food just like the fire daimyo did.

The clones smirked that their cooking was number one. A clone said, "Boss has also made several food packages for everyone of you to take it with you to home."

This news only further increased their happiness. Naruto's plan worked. In order to get the other daimyos support, he feed them his delicious cooking. Now he has their support as they will want to eat his cooking again. Like they say, in order to get others to support you, you have to work with their stomach first.

In The Arena

Gaara was kneeling atop of a wall while Temari and Kankruo stand beside him in worry. A sand jonin stood in front of him. He was Baki, Gaara's team jonin teacher. Naruto stand in the middle of a lava filled arena.

Baki asked, "Gaara. The plan?"

Temari gasped and said, "I knew it."

Kankruo asked, "What's wrong?"

Gaara moaned while clutching his head, "Uu .. uuuuu ... uuuuuu .."

Baki said, "Fool! Trying to transform into your complete form before the signal!"

Temari said, "He is experiencing the side effects. Its impossible to proceed now."

Kankruo shouted, "Then what are we suppose to do!? Do it without Gaara now!?"

Baki girted his teeth and think. After a while, he said, "Abort the mission."

This shocked Temari and Kankruo. Baki continued, "You guys take Gaara and retreat."

Kankruo said, "Damn it."

Temari asked, "What about you!?"

Baki look down at Naruto and said, "Ill join the battle while you two escape with Gaara. Go!"

Temari nodded and said, "O-okay."

Temari and Kankruo grabbed Gaara and ran away. Baki look down towards Naruto and saw that he .... wasn't there anymore. He heard a sound to his left side. He look left and jumped back while taking a defensive stance. Naruto was now standing on the same wall that Baki was standing.

Naruto look at Baki and said, "You do know that you sand ninjas have been tricked into attacking the left village?"

Baki said, "What are you talking about? We weren't tricked. Our Kazekage is the one who planed this invasion with the help of the sound ninjas."

Naruto said, "And that the leader of the sound village is none other than Orochimaru."

Baki asked, "What? He is the leader of the sound village?"

Naruto nodded and said, "That and your Kazekage is dead."

Baki said in anger, "What are you talking about!? Our Kazekage is right there in the Kage section!"

Naruto said, "Well, that's because he is not your Kazekage Rasa. That is actually Orochimaru in disguise."

Baki asked, "If that is true then how did Kazekage died? Who killed him?"

Naruto said, "Rasa was killed by none other than Orochimaru himself."

Baki was shocked and he asked, "Why? Why did he killed our Kazekage? What was the purpose of killing him!?"

Naruto said, "He wanted to trick the sand ninjas into attacking the leaf village and destroy it with the help of Gaara's special friend inside of him. After he destroy this village, he will then move on and target the sand village next."

Baki was silent for a while and then he asked, "Why are you telling me all of this What is your purpose?"

Naruto said, "I have my reason. One of the reason is because I don't want to lose allies from such a misunderstanding. I want to save you sand shinobis from being killed. Second reason is that Gaara is just like me."

Baki asked, "Like you? What do you mean?"

Naruto said, "A Jinchuuriki. Or at least I was a Jinchuuriki."

Baki asked in shock, "You were a Jinchuuriki!? But how can that be!? If the Tail Beast is removed then the host would die! How are you still alive!?"

Naruto smiled and said, "That is my secret. Now will you please tell you sand ninjas to stop their attack and surrender?"

Baki sigh and said, "I don't think we could be spared even if I stop my fellow ninjas."

Naruto asked, "Why is that?"

Baki said, "We were suppose to use Gaara's special condition to destroy this village but that didn't went as it was planned. Now Gaara is being taken away but I think that Gaara will come back and attack this village when he completes his transformation."

Naruto said, "Don't worry about that. I will handle Gaara. In the mean time, why don't you stop and save as much sand ninjas as you can."

Naruto began to walk away when Baki said, "Please don't kill Gaara."

Naruto stop and look back at Baki. He said, "Why would I kill my fellow Jinchuuriki? We are the same, even if I don't hold my Tail beast. I will save him."

Naruto began to walk away again but Baki asked, "Um can you tell me which Tail beast you previously carried?"

Naruto didn't turn around and said, "The Nine Taill Kyuubi."

With that, Naruto jumped away towards Gaara's location while leaving behind a shocked Baki. He pulled himself out of his shock and then began to order his fellow sand shinobis to surrender.

Outer Walls Of The Leaf Village

On the outer walls of the village, several leaf jonins were standing on it. Ibiki was one of them. The reason they were all there was because four gigantic snakes came out of nowhere and were advancing towards the vilage's walls. They prepared to fight the giant snakes when someone shouted.

"Summoning Bring Down the House!"

*Crash* *Crunch*

From the sky, a gigantic frog, bigger than the giant snakes fell on one of them and crushed it to death. The other 3 giant snakes scatter around the giant frog.

A jonin said, "Is that summon .."

Ibiki nodded and said, "Yes. This summoning is from Jiraiya."

A figure on top of the giant frog's head was none other than Jiraya. He said, "Long time no see! Eh Ibiki! Geez. Is your body the only thing that grew up!? I just can;t stand to watch you!"

A jonin asked in shock, "By Jiraiya ... you mean one of the Sannin!?"

Jiraiya took a pose an said, "Little people! Open the small eyes of yours as wide as you can and take a really really good look! Blessed be! Its the Twilight zone flight of rampage! By Jiraiya, the Sage ninja has finally arrived!"

The other 3 snakes bare their fangs at him. Jiraiya look at them and said, "All you snakes, frozen in your tracks by the glare of a frog!"

After saying that, Jiraiya asked, "Hey Ibiki! Were is the Hokage!?"

Ibiki said, "He is back at the arena."

Jiraiya nodded and said, "I see. Well, have no fear now that I am here! These snakes are nothing compared to me!"

Jiraiya was about to attack the 3 giant snakes but stop when three figures jumped on the nearest wall. He look at them and stop when he saw who they were. The tree people were clones of Naruto.

Jiraiya asked in a whisper, "Naruto? What is he doing here?"

Ibiki saw Naruto's clones and asked them, "Hey Naruto. Did you come here to help?"

The clones nodded and said, "Yes. Please stand back. We are going to use area wide destructive Jutsu."

The jonin and Ibiki nodded and step back while the 3 clones came forward and each one of the clones faced one of the 3 giant snakes.

Ibiki shouted, "Hey! Jiraiya! You better get out of the way or you will be sorry!"

Jiraiya scoffed and said, "What can a genin do that I can't do?"

Jiraiya didn't move and the clones didn't care. To them, Jiraiya was one of the main reason for Naruto's suffering. So, if the bastard died in their attack, it would be a win for them.

*Clap*

Al 3 clones clapped their hands together and formed some hand signs. When they did next shocked the jonins and made Jiraiya's eyes popped out of their eye sockets while is jaw flee to the ground.

All 3 clones were preparing themselves in order to use three very powerful and destructive Jutsu. One clone began to gather lightning in his hands. The other clone began to breath huge amount of air into his lungs. The final clone was building a small white cube between his hands. Then it happened. The clones unleashed all three of their devastating area destruction Jutsu.

One clone first made a white halo in front of him. Then he pushed both of his hands through the halo's center and shouted, "Storm Style Laser Circus!"

From the clone's hands, several lightning beams were released that shot towards one giant snake. The snake didn't even get a chance to defend itself as the lightning beams reached it in the blink of an eyes. The lightning beams hit all over the snake's body and made several huge gaping holes in it's body as each beam fried its flesh. The giant snake was dead within seconds.

*Zap* *Zap* *Zap* *Zap* *Zap*

The other clone puffed out his cheek. Then he spews a stream of chakra infused gun-powder ash from his mouth that flew straight towards a giant snake. As the gunpowder is composed entirely of ash, it stays in the air and surrounded the giant snake like a cloud. After the whole snake was covered with the ash, the clone snap his mouth close and a small spark was made from his teeth. This spark then ignited the ash which resulted in a violent fiery explosion.

*BOOOM*

The whole snake was burned to death within seconds. The clone smirked and said, "Fire Style Burning Ash" baby.

The final clone who was creating a small white cube between the palms of his hands with a sphere located at its center, unleashed his Jutsu. The small white cube disappeared from his hands and then the last gigantic snake was in-cased in a gigantic white transparent cube. Now the snake was trapped inside a giant cube. It trapped to break it to free himself but the cube didn't even crack.

The clone grin and shouted, "Dust Style Detachment of the Primitive World!"

*BOOOM*

The sphere in the cube then exploded with a tremendous amount of force, while the exterior walls of the structure effectively restrict the size of the blast radius. This resulted in the destruction of everything that was trapped inside the white cube. The last of the giant snake was pulverized into minute particles of dust.

Jiraiya look at the slaughter in massive disbelief. Not only Naruto's clones were able to kill the giant snakes but they also performed three very powerful and destructive Jutsu. What's more is that these were done by simple clones! Normally a ninja can only do such powerful Jutsu himself but he saw 3 clones performing 3 powerful Jutsu. He don't know what to think about this.

After killing the giant snakes, the clones then dispelled themselves. Ibiki said, "Well, it seems that we didn't need you for anything."

However, Jiraiya was still in shock mode as he witnessed Naruto's true potential. A sense of fear was soon raising inside his stomach.

With Gaara

The real Naruto finally reached Gaara and he found something interesting. Sakura was stick to a tree as a giant sand claw trapped her to the tree. Sasuke was heavily injured as he was being beaten around by Gaara like a rag doll. Gaara on the other hand was different. His whole body was covered by sand which took the form of a sand monster. Like how Menma was in his berserk Kyuubi form. This was Gaara's sand form.

Naruto said, "Hey Gaara. You look a bit different."

Gaara look at Naruto and grinned maliciously. He said, "Ah. You're finally here. I was getting tired of beating that pathetic Uchiha there."

Gaara picked up Sasuke and threw him away. He said, "There. Now that he is out of the way, I finally get to fight you and kill you! Hahahaha!"

Naruto said, "Why do you want to kill me? What will you get from killing me?"

Gaara said, "My existence. I must kill in order to exist. By killing you, I can make the world know of my existence. So you must die!"

Gaara leaped at Naruto with his claws stretched. However, Naruto simply grabbed both of his claws and *Bash* headbutt Gaara's face. Gaara was thrown back by that hit and into a tree *Crash* which was destroyed. Gaara snarled and shot his hand forward which then stretched towards Naruto.

Naruto saw the incoming stretched hand and simply sidestep it. After the hand pass by him, Naruto swung his hand down like a sword and cut off the sand arm. Gaara didn't screamed as it was a sand hand. He simply gathered more sand to regrow his sand arm. Naruto saw this and realized that he will need to attack Gaara's real body.

So Naruto disappeared in front of Gaara and *Bash* punch through his sand armor and hit his stomach. Gaara was again lunched towards a tree and *Crash* he crashed through it and into the ground. Naruto jump in the air and dived down towards Gaara who was lying on the ground.

*Crash*

Naruto Knee Bomb Gaara in his gut which made him scream in pain. Some of his ribs were broken as his sand armor absorbed most of the physical force.

Naruto jumped back and said, "Gaara. You don't have to do this. You can control the Tail Beast inside of you."

Gaara grunted in pain and said, "I can't. I must kill you. You must die! I will have my existence known!"

Gaara stoop up and charged at Naruto who didn't moved. Gaara then swung his claw at Naruto to cut him up but his claw was stopped when it made contact with Naruto's tough muscles. This shocked Gaara again. How was his attack stop again.

Naruto said, "See Gaara. See what you are fighting now? Let me tell you this Gaara. Out there in the real word, there are ninjas who are strong enough to destroy large villages with ease. I'm one of them. So you see that you are no match for me. Please stop this Gaara. I know you can. I don't want to hurt you."

Gaara asked, "Why?"

Naruto said, "Because you and I are the same."

Gaara said, "What?"

Naruto said, "Both of us have been treated less than dirt. Both of us have been hurt severely by their own village. Both of us have been neglected for our siblings. Well, at least your siblings care about you. Mine treated me like trash. You are really lucky to have someone care about you while I didn't had anyone."

Gaara was taken back by this and he step back while clutching his head in pain. He grunted, "No .. I can't... stop this ... AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Gaara screamed and huge amount of sand began to gather around him. As more sand gathered around Gaara, his size began to increase as well. Soon Gaara's sand body became gigantic that was more than 70 foot tall beast.

Naruto remembered what Yoko told him about the One Tail Beast. Its name was Shukaku. Its body is a sandy-brown colored tanuki, with dark blue cursed seal markings all over its face, body, and tail. It has a jagged, concave mouth with no tongue, and the sclera of its eyes are black, with yellow irides and pupils that each takes the shape of a black four-pointed star with four black dots around it.

Naruto jumped on top of a tree and look at the gigantic sand beast with interest. He saw that Gaara came out of the sand beast's head.

Gaara said, "Thank you for keeping me entertained so far. Now I'll show you the true power of the sand demon."

Naruto said, "You really want to do this? Fine. Don't complain when you get hurt Gaara."

Gaara hand a hand sign and said, "Play Possum Jutsu."

Gaara forcefully put himself to fall asleep. After he fell asleep, the sand beasts eyes changed. The sand beast, known as Shukaku roared into the sky, "Hahahahahaha! Finally! I'm out! Baby! Hahahahaha!"

Shukaku then pointed at Naruto and said, "And here is someone I want to kill right off!"

Naruto got into a fighting stance and said, "Come at me with everything you got!"

Shukaku swung his huge claw at Naruto but his arm was pushed back when Naruto kicked it away. The strength behind Naruto's kick were immense that shocked Shukaku. However, Shukaku didn't stop and continue to swung his claws at him but each time he did, Naruto just kicked them away with ease. Shukaku became frustrated that such a small human was giving him a hard time.

Shukaku jumped back and began to inhale huge amount of air until his belly bloated like a balloon. Shukaku said, "Try and deflect this! Wind Style Drilling Air Bullet!"

Shukaku pounded its stomach with his claw in order to apply external pressure. With the added power, it shoot a highly compressed air ball from its mouth towards Naruto who jumped away. He saw

*Throom*

Naruto saw that the air bullet was strong enough to hollow out the ground, and level an entire forest. Because of the large quantity of chakra kneaded into it, it explodes the moment it reaches its target, dealing an enormous amount of damage, as well as levelling anything in its path.

Shukaku laughed and said, "So, there is something you cannot block. Well, I will use this to my advantage! Wind Style Drilling Air Bullet!"

Shukaku inhaled a lot of air and pounded its belly. Instead of firing one air bullet, it fire multiple of these in rapid succession. Naruto had no time to dodge the air bullets. He bulged his muscles and swung his fist at the first air bullet.

*Bash* *Boom*

The air bullet which was a compressed air bullet exploded from Naruto's powerful punch. Naruto had no time to pet himself on his back as other air bullets were flying towards him. He immediately began to punch the incoming air bullets like a blur and destroyed them.

*Bash* *Boom* *Bash* *Boom* *Bash* *Boom* *Bash* *Boom*

Shukaku was shocked to see that his air bullets that could clear out an entire forest with ease, were destroyed by the boy's punches. Just punches. How can he do that? The boy was fighting against a Tail Beast and he was actually winning against it.

Naruto said, "Shukaku. Release Gaara and I won't hurt you ... much."

Shukaku snorted and said, "You cocky brat! I won't go back inside Gaara! I am now free to do whatever I want! And you won;t get in my way!"

Naruto said, "So be it. Get ready to feel the burn!"

Naruto first made two clones. Then he breath in air and formed some hand signs. He shouted, "Fire Style Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

Naruto spew out a huge stream of intense flames that spread out and made its way towards Shukaku. A clone formed some hand signs and shouted, "Wind Style Great Breakthrough!"

The clone thrust his palm forward from which a huge amount of wind that flew towards the raging flames. Great winds combined with raging flames equals devastation. The raging flames became huge and burn much more intense thanks to the added wind. All of these flames flew towards Shukaku who couldn't dodge because of his size and weight. It instead used its sands to cover Gaara in a cocoon of sand to protect him form the flames.

The final clone formed some hand signs and shouted, "Wind Style Spiraling Vortex!"

The clone shot a small ball of wind that flew straight towards Shukaku and when it hit it, the ball exploded and became a spinning tornado around the One Tail Beast. The tornado not only prevented Shukaku from moving but it also suck all of the intense flames around it and soon the tornado became a flaming tornado that kept on burning the One Tail Beast.

After a while of being burned, the flaming tornado subsided and Naruto saw what happened to Shukaku. The One Tail Beast's body which was made up of sand was now a giant piece of glass. The intense heat from the flaming tornado turned the sand into glass. Naruto smirked and leaped at it and punched it.

*Bash* *Crackle*

The entire glass Shukaku broke into several smaller pieces. Naruto look at the falling glass, in search for Gaara. He then saw his target who was falling down toward his death. Naruto lunched himself towards him and grabbed him. He then land on the land away from the falling glass and put Gaara down on the ground. He too sat besides him and rested.

After a while of silence, Gaara asked, "Why?"

Naruto look at him and said, "Why what?"

Gaara said, "Why didn't you finished me off? Why did you saved me?"

Naruto said, "Its because we are the same Gaara. Being alone. Being incomplete. That's what you feel right? I can understand you pain because you also possess the same thing inside that I did in the past. We are not so different at all."

Gaara asked, "Is that the only reason for saving me?"

Naruto said, "That and I want to be your friend. Will you be my friend?"

Gaara asked, "Why do you want to be my friend?"

Naruto remain quite for a while and then he said, "Because I don't want you to become what you hate the most. I don;t want you to fall to your darkness. I too was once on that dark path but thanks to the help of a certain someone, I was saved from my darkness. If I can be saved then so can you be. That is why I want o be your friend Gaara. You won't be alone anymore in this world."

Gaara was taken back by what Naruto said. True, he was alone in this world and he didn't consider his siblings as his friends. He only needed to kill which was slowly pushing him towards the dark path. But now Naruto stand in his path and stops him.

Gaara said, "I ... would like to be your ... friend Naruto."

Naruto smiled and said, "And I would be happy to have you as my friend too Gaara. Oh! Also, I need to check your seal on your belly Gaara."

Gaara asked, "Why?"

Naruto said, "I just need to confirm something."

Gaara pulled up his clothes to show his belly to Naruto who checked the seal. After checking it, he sigh and said, "I knew it."

Gaara asked, "What? What is it that you found?"

Naruto said, "The seal on your belly is a faulty seal Gaara. That is why the One Tail Beast is effecting you so much. I figure that is also the reason you don't sleep in case Shukaku possess your body. But don't worry about it cause I can easily correct that mistake."

Gaara asked, "How would you do that?"

Naruto grin and said, "I am a seal master myself. So I know how to fix your faulty seal. Let me get to work on it."

Naruto pulled out a scroll and from it, he released several chakra ink bottles and some paint brush. He then picked the brush and dip them in the chakra ink. Then he began to draw some symbols on Gaara's belly. After writing some weird language on Gaara's existing seal, Naruto clap his hands and pressed them on Gaara's belly. A bright white light flashed for a few seconds before subsiding.

Naruto smiled and said, "There. All done. Now you won't have to worry about Shukaku taking over your body when you sleep."

Gaara said, "Thank you Naruto."

Naruto said, "No problem. I think your siblings are coming here."

Naruto helped Gaara into standing up. After a while Temari and Kankuro came for their brother but were shocked to see that Gaara was beaten by Naruto.

Naruto saw them and said, "Hey. You tow are just in time. Would you please take Gaara back to your village. I don't think this village would want to have Gaara leave. So it would be better if you two take him out of the village."

Temari and Kankuro did asked and took Gaara away. They were confused as to why a leaf ninja would help them.

After traveling for a while, Gaara said, "Temari. Kankuro. I'm ... sorry ... for everything."

The siblings were shocked to hear that Gaara apologized to them. Kankuro said, "Its okay Gaara. Lets return back to our village."

The 3 sand siblings escaped the leaf village and returned back to their village. Naruto then returned back to his village. There are still many things he needs to do before bringing his wrath upon this wretched leaf village. They will pay for everything they did to Naruto. They will all pay dearly for it.
