Chapter 3: Begin the final round; Clash of the forbidden Jutsu

 

“Naota….Naota!” Naota opened his eyes to see Goya staring back at him. He realized Goya had been sitting on top of him. He quickly looked around his small brown room. It was rather empty save for a dresser and a chair in one corner of the room. He focused on Goya again who was examining his face intently.

 

“What are you doing?” Naota said groggily.

 

“I was trying wake you up. We need to get ready to head to leaf stadium the final round begins in two hours.” Goya handed Naota a small piece of paper with names on it. He looked down the list and found his name. Next to his was the name of the Poison nin he had fought before (Naota=Kage).

 

“What's this?” Naota handed the paper back to Goya.

 

“It's the pairings, thats who you'll be fighting.” A smile grew a cross Naota's face excited by the thought of fighting Kage again. Goya after looking at the paper one last time shoved it in his pocket and jumped of the bed.

 

“Testue sensei said to meet him at the ramen place.” He looked over into a mirror above the dresser and began to tighten his bandana,

 

“You shouldn't ware that all the time, it looks.”

 

“You know why I where it, and I don't plan to change that.” Goya interrupted.

 

“But maybe you could change them.” Naota said as he sat up looking to where Goya was standing, his back to him. They sat there in silence for a moment neither of them moving as if locked in a mental battle where a single move would coast you the fight.

 

“They'll never change.” Goya turned his head and spoke over his shoulder. He heaved a hefty sigh and quickly left the room. Naota looked at the floor his shoulders heavy, he ran his hand through his thick hair.

 

“I promise I'll make them change.” He whispered to himself.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

 

The large double doors opened and the four teams followed by there sensei walked inside. They entered a large stadium with a vast field surrounded by rows and rows of seats that high above a field and filled with spectators. High up above the spectators and the field a balcony that held the Hokage and other village leaders could be seen. The actual fighting area was just a green field with a few trees to one far side.

 

“Is this it Hoshi sensei.” Yoshiro looked around the field surprised by how little was in it.

 

“This test is about skill in battle, not as much about stealth and other skills although you may still use them.” Hoshi put his hand on Yoshiro's shoulder and gave him a slight squeeze for reassurance. As they approached the center of the field they were greeted by a roaring applause. As the crowd lit up the proctor who was in the middle of the field began to approach them.

 

“We have a place reserved for the participants; if you would follow me then we can begin shortly.” He directed them to a large door off to their left. As the group began to head for the door Gaara noticed a young blond girl with four pony tails form sand staring at him with a shocked look on her face. Gaara turned away from her adjusting his beanie and trying to shake it off. He did not want to find out why she had looked at him so intently. On the other side of the group Naota approached Kage never taking his eyes off the doors.

 

“I hope you're ready this time?” A smirk moved a cross his face as he spoke.

 

“This time I'll put you face down.” Kage said keeping his eyes forward.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ---

 

A young Jonin appeared next to the Hokage and began to speak to him quietly. “Hokage Sir the Genin have taken their place.”

 

“Thank you Genki.” The Hokage nodded as he stood up. He turned looking to three other men in the Kage robes of Mountain, Poison, and, Sand who had been sitting next to him.

 

“We are ready, shall we begin.” He asked the other Kage who nodded in response.

 

“Where is the Uchiha.” The Kazekage asked. Masen and Oogi looked at each other.

 

“He is unable to be here his team did not pass. But you should know that you were given a record of the teams that passed.” Saratobi said gazing intently at the Kazekage. The Kazekage chuckled while nodding. Saratobi turned looking off the balcony down onto all the spectators who were mostly composed of other shinobi, nation leaders, important government figures, and regular villagers.

 

“Welcome to the final rounds of the Chunin exams. We have gathered many shinobi here from different villages far and wide to take part in this event. These few have persevered against all odds, they have surpassed all the others in their quests to advance and now we ask one more test of them. So let us begin the final rounds of the Chunin exams.” He raised his arms and the crowd lit up letting out a loud cheer. He held that position for a moment and then turned back to the others. “And now it begins.”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------

 

The proctor stepped forward and raised a piece of paper which he began to read. He stood in the center of the field with his left arm raised ready to call forward the first participants.

 

“Yoshiro Saru and Neji Hyuga please step into the field.” As his words echoed odd into the distance a young man with long black hair and gray eyes appeared next to him. The gray in his eyes covered not only the iris but also the pupil which was a slightly lighter grey.

 

“I am ready to begin.” The young man said.

 

“Where is your opponent?” The proctor looked around the field.”

 

“I'm here!” They herd a voice put couldn't see where it was coming from.

 

“Up here.” The proctor looked up to where the contestants and their sensei were being kept. He noticed a young man hanging off the wall. He hung there for a few seconds before he dropped followed by a small black object.

 

“Do I really have to fight him?” Neji asked an expression of embarrassment for the boy on his face.

 

“I'm alright, I'm good.” He stood up and patted himself down. The black object was actually a young gorilla who was now attached Yoshiro's shoulders. He quickly ran over to the center of the field his face red with embarrassment.

 

“If you're done with your little performance I was hoping we could begin.” The proctor said rubbing the temples of his forehead.

 

“Uh, yeah sorry.” Yoshiro started to rub the back of his head and his face began to feel hot.

 

“Alright then, Neji Huyga and Yoshiro Saru you will fight until the other is unable to continue.” The proctor raised his arm and the drove it down between them. “Begin!” The proctor backed up and vanished.

Neji quickly dropped into the stance of the Hyuga gentle fist style. He pulled one leg in close bending it at the knee and extended the other leg out in front of him resting it on the heel of the foot. He pulled one arm in close and stretched the other out over his extended leg.

“Beyakugan!” He exclaimed as the veins around his eyes began to pump hard a raise the skin above them. With his new eyes he began to study Yoshiro's chakra system which he could now see. He also had an almost three sixty degree view around himself. Yoshiro dropped into a light stance that resembled that of the Ape Kendo. They began studding each other attempting to predict their opponents move neither making a single move. Suddenly Anko leaped from Yoshiro's shoulder and Yoshiro rushed in to attack. He quickly approached from the left leaping and then throwing a hard kick which Neji caught with his hand. Suddenly Anko appeared and attack from his right with a punch. Neji ducked which cause Anko to hit Yoshiro who was still in the air. Yoshiro with the force of Anko colliding with him hit the ground. He was quickly followed by Anko who he attempted to catch. He looked up at Neji a little dazed by the attack. He realized this fight would be tougher then he thought, they were only a few seconds in and already he was on the ground. He picked himself up and positions himself to counter attack Anko moved next to him. Yoshiro put his hands together focusing his chakra which Anko mimicked.

 

“Shadow clone jutsu!” Yoshiro exclaimed as two clones of himself and two clones of Anko appeared to either side of them. “Let's see how you do against six.” Yoshiro said as the entire group charged the young Huyga. They began to throw a series of punches and kicks which Neji dodged and blocked with great difficulty. Neji unable to strike back was forced to slowly retreat to the point where his back was almost against the wall. Realizing there was no where to go he decided it was time to pull out his trump. He jumped back out of the group positioning himself for an attack although now his back was against the wall. As the group moved into continue their attack Neji began to spin releasing chakra from every chakra point on his body. The sudden burst of energy exploding from his body sent Yoshiro and Anko flying back half way across the field and left a large crater in the stadium wall. They hit the ground hard and felt as though they had been hit by a falling tree. Yoshiro felt hot and his head began to hurt as he looked around. He noticed their clone vanished upon impact which just made him get hotter. “I'm losing control If I don't calm down I'm going to break my seal.” Yoshiro thought to himself. He stood and looked over to see Anko licking her arm which had a large gash in it. He felt something in his head snap as he fell to his knees and grabbed his head his face was now bright red. “You bastard, how dare you hurt my Anko.” His eyes were locked on Neji who stood next to the crater in the wall. In response to the glare Yoshiro was giving him he dropped back into his stance. Yoshiro stood up his features becoming more primal as fur began to cover the sides of his face, his hands began to grow hair on the back of them as his nails grew longer forming a claw like appearance, and his toes grew out becoming finger like. His new appearance resembled that of a half man half ape. “You're really pissing me off.” Yoshiro said his voice, now rather rough.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -----------

 

Oogi looked surprised he thought the seal placed on Yoshiro's clan was stronger but it seemed as though Yoshiro had broken the seal placed on him at birth.

 

“Oogi whats going on?” Masen leaned over and asked. They were both sitting in white stone chairs next to Saritobi.

 

“I think Yoshiro has broken the Rokujou seal (Anger Seal).” Oogi said keeping his eyes on Yoshiro.

 

“Rokujou seal?” Masen said in a confused tone. .

 

“It's a seal that we place on the Soru clan to suppress their anger. They have a history of being easily angered. Not that long ago we began to place a seal on them to prevent them from getting angry. A few years ago a four man team was almost whipped out when one of them turned on the others in a blind rage, that man was from the Soru clan. That was when we decided we had to make sure that their anger was kept in control. Unfortunately the seal stops all anger so it stouts their emotions, but I have been working to fix that.”

 

“Should we stop the fight then? Sounds like is would be rather risky to allow it to continue.” Masen's eyes were no locked on the you nin a well.

 

“No he's worked hard to get here he deserves to prove himself besides his sensei took special training to learn how to handle him.” Masen nodded his eyes still focused on Yoshiro.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -----

 

“I'm going to crush you.” Yoshiro said, his once kind expression was now replaced by a maniacal smile. Yoshiro nodded and with that Anko ran toward Neji with great speed. She struck at Neji with a left punch. Neji put his hands up to catch the punch which landed hard in his palm. He felt extreme pain shoot up his arm. He was surprised how much stronger Anko had gotten and suddenly noticed she had almost doubled in size. He had no idea when this had happened, but figured he was too distracted by Yoshiro's transformation to notice. Neji pushed Anko back sending her sliding across the ground. “You're pretty strong Huyga. Let's see how much chakra we can drain out of you” Yoshiro said as he put his hands together focusing his chakra again. “Shadow clone jutsu!” Suddenly two clones appeared next to him. Each had its own unpleasant look on its face and each looked ready to tare Neji apart. Without warning the two clones vanished and in an instant appeared again now almost on top of Neji. While Neji was distracted by the two clones bearing down on him Anko slipped in under the clones and charged at him for a gut punch. Neji's eyes suddenly focused on Anko as he noticed her approach. Unable to block all the attacks Neji began to spin again just as before, chakra blasting from all points on his body. Anko and the clones smashed against the wall of chakra sending Anko flying back and dispersing the chakra clones. Neji then slowed and came to a stop. Just as he came to a stand still he felt a small object hit his shoulder, which on closer examination appeared to be a rock. He shrugged it off figuring he had kicked it up and prepared to fend of another attack. “One more.” Yoshiro said to himself as he placed his hands together focusing his chakra again. “Shadow clone jutsu!” another set of shadow clones appeared next to Yoshiro. As soon as they appeared they began to charge Neji. Neji quickly pulled one of his feet in and began to spin. As he did this Yoshiro started to charge in as well. As Neji formed the chakra shield Yoshiro leaped up over the shield positioning himself in the center. “Got'cha.” Yoshiro said quietly to himself. The shadow clones smashed against the wall vanishing in a cloud of smoke and Neji brought himself to a stop. Just as he did this he noticed Anko and Yoshiro had vanished. Just as Neji noticed their disappearance Yoshiro dropped down from above and grabbed Neji by the shoulders with his now hand like feet, bent down at the knee and touching the ground with his real hands hurled Neji a cross the field with great speed. As he flew a cross the field Anko burst from under the ground where she had hidden herself during the last attack and leaped at Neji, left shoulder first. Neji unable to dodge took the full force of the blow to his side. Neji felt a few rips break as he spat out a mouth full of blood and then collided with the stadium wall. Neji bounced off onto the ground and looked up from the ground in pain. He held his side while trying focused on Yoshiro.

“How did do that?” Yoshiro smiled at Neji's question. Suddenly Neji's eyes grew wide as he remembered the rock.

“When you use that chakra attack I saw a small opening right above your head so I threw the rock to test the opening and sure enough I was right. So then I figured if I could find a way to hide Anko and distract you so I could move into place I could get in a finishing blow. Then when Anko attack you before, she hid after you knocked her back by burrowing into the ground. After that I distracted you with more clones in order draw out that shield and get above you.” Neji winced as Yoshiro reviled his master plan to him. He could see that the proctor had entered the field again and was about to declare the winner.

“There is just one problem. I'm not done yet.” Neji said as he pushed himself to his feet. Yoshiro smiled his.

“Who said that was my finishing blow? I just did that to disable you chakra shield.” Neji's eyes grew wide as he realized Anko had shot a large green jutsu at him. He started to spin but was stopped by the pain in his side. Unable to avoid the jutsu hit him in his shoulder. He dropped to one knee his shoulder burning. He looked up to see Yoshiro forming hand symbols. “Let's see how you handle this one. Vile dragon jutsu!” Yoshiro lurched forward and from his mouth a large green acid dragon sped at Neji. Neji started to jump away but found that Anko had burrowed under the ground again and now had a hold on one of his legs.

“Not like this.” Neji thought to himself as the dragon collided with him and then with the wall. The dragon dispersed on impact and all that remained of it was a large crater in the wall and at its center Neji sat embedded in the wall unconscious and slightly burned. The proctor had stopped when Neji got up but the fight ended before he could leave again. His eyes were wide surprised by the viscous attack Yoshiro had just initiated.

“Uh----- The winner is Yoshiro Saru.”

“No one can stop me.” Yoshiro raise his arms. Suddenly Hoshi appeared in front of him and slap a seal on his forehead. The seal let out a slight electrical charge and Yoshiro changed back into a young boy and pass out.

“Let's get you some rest.” Hoshi said as he picked him up and put him over his sholder.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------

 

“Looks like you're up Naota.” Testue said to Naota who was captivated by the fight.

“Yeah it does and this fight has got me so pumped. I'm ready to go.” Naota turned heading for the stairs down to the field.

“Wait.” Goya said grabbing Naota's shoulder. Naota turned slowly looking at Goya who seemed rather worried.

“Please be careful.” Goya said quietly. Naota nodded patting Goya's hand.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------

 

“Okay we are ready to begin the next battle.” The proctor said to the audience as he lifted the piece of paper so he could read it again. “Naota Ishi and Kage please step into the arena.” He looked over to the large door in the stadium wall that led to the participants sweet and notice two young men emerge form it. One, being Kage and the other Naota. They both walked slowly to the center of the field neither looking at the other.

“What is it about you that make me want to fight you?” Kage said in a calm tone.

“Maybe it's because you know you can't beat me and it drives you crazy.” Naota said as a smile spread a cross his face. They stopped next to the proctor and faced each other.

“Come on you know just as well as I do why we want to fight. We are well matched and the thought of fighting someone who will actually put up a good fight excites us.” Naota chuckled and shrugged.

“Maybe, but I don't care to think of those things I'm just excited to finish what we started in the forest and maybe after I finally prove I'm stronger the you we could be friends.” Naota said with a slightly mocking tone.

“Ah yes, I'd warn you not to get too confident but it seems it's too late for that.” Kage put one arm out to either side and bent his knees making the light stance of the bone dance style. Naota smirked at the gesture and lifted his fist in response. As he did this rocks began rising from the ground covering his fists in stone. The proctor gave them each a funny look and let out a heavy sigh.

“Alright, since you two are so eager to begin I'll skip the pleasantries and you can get right to it.” The proctor raised his hand and just as he was about to drop it and begin the fight was forced to jump back but Kage's and Naota's sudden attack on each other. The proctor shook his head and gave them a dirty look as their fists collided with each other. Without a word the proctor left the field a rather irritated expression on his face. Naota was surprised that Kage's hand could take a punch from his rock fists until he notice that Kage had covered his fist in bone.

“Hmph seems like I'm going to have to punch you harder from now on.” Naota said to Kage but was given no response. Kage and Naota jumped back positioning themselves for another attack. Naota made the same punching motions he made before and rock fists sped toward Kage. “Earth fist jutsu!”

“Seen it!” Kage said as his bone swords burst from his arms and he smashed the earth fists. “I'm going to show you something I haven't used on anyone yet. I hope you enjoy it.” Kage said placing his hands together focusing his chakra. “Bone clone jutsu.” Kage began to wince as a bone arm wretched from his back and grabbed his shoulder pushing away hard. With that a skull and half a torso emerged from his back. Suddenly another arm wretched from the other side of his back and began to tare away form him as well. The audience was full of gasps and sounds of people revisiting their lunch the site of the technique not being the most pleasant.

“GAAH! What the hell are you doing?” Naota said as one of the bone clones began to rips its legs away from Kage's body.

“I-it's a very adv-anced Jutsu that I-I have been developing. B-but these c-clones aren't you're a-average clones they w-wont vanish with one punch. Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” Kage said as the two clones suddenly ripped away from his body each taking a position next to him and dropping into the bone dance style.

“Fine then I'll crush them.” Naota said quickly forming hand symbols and then slamming his hands against the ground. “Titian fist jutsu.” Suddenly a large fist sprang from the ground and began to descend on Kage.

“That's new.” Kage thought as he and his clones jumped to avoid the giant rock fist falling toward him. The fist smashed against the ground causing the earth to buckle under it. Suddenly one of the large pieces of the debris that buckle leaned up and smashed against Kage's back sending him flying forward and then hard onto the ground. “Didn't see that coming guess I should have thought the damage that oversized attack would do. Even though it was so slow it causes a lot of damage that is hard to avoid.” Kage stood up and started to pat himself down. “Well you do have some spunk left in.” Kage was interrupted by another massive fist coming down on him. He quickly dodged to the side carefully avoiding the debris. “Bastard looks like I need to stop playing.” As he said that Naota noticed that the two clones had placed themselves behind him. Kage had been standing to his side but with the last attack had pushed him in front of him. Kage and the clone now stood in a triangle formation around him.

“What's this?” Naota said as the three charged him.

“Triple whirl wind jutsu.” Suddenly they all jumped and began to spin, wind viciously spun around them causing a whirlwind type affect.

“What the hell.” Naota said as he quickly slammed his hand against the ground. “Earth golem jutsu!” Kage suddenly found himself bouncing off a rock wall. He slid across ground a little daze and surprised. After he regained his composure he looked up and found a rock wall around Naota but this was not the same defense as before. As he examined it closer he noticed it had arms and a head. Suddenly it stood forming the shape of a ten foot tall stone man. “So what do you think?” Naota was trying to catch his breath; the jutsu had obviously taken a lot out of him.

“I guess I wasted my new technique on you havening to watch them go already.” Naota looked to his golem and noticed the bone clones hand latched on to it. Bomb seals had appeared all over their bodies.

“Sacrifice bomb jutsu!” Kage said as the two clones erupted in a massive explosion that sent Naota flying into the stadium wall. Naota slammed against the wall and then landed on the field.

“That's was a cheap move.” Naota said as he strained to pushing himself off the ground. Naota noticed Kage's shoulder moving up and down which told him Kage was breathing heavy now as well although he could not be sure with the mask Kage always wore.

“Seems we have used our best moves so what's next.” Kage said from behind his mask.

“We step it up a bit.” Naota said pushing his hands together a focusing his remaining chakra.

“I see then look like I will have to use mine as well.” Kage put his hands together and started to focus his chakra as well. Naota slammed his palm against the ground.

“The Ishi clans S class assassin technique Earth blade!” Naota lifted his hand and in his palm was a spike of earth with several small stones whirling around it. He then faced his palm out and started to charge Kage. Kage grounded himself preparing to lunch his attack.

“Bone demon jutsu.” As Kage did this the ground tore open and a skeletal hand with long fingers that came to a green point appeared from the craves and grabbed the ledge to pull itself up.

Suddenly the ground closed and Naota found himself on the ground. Naota looked up to see Kage only a few feet away from him and in-between them stood the proctor and several of the sensei that had been watching. The proctor gave them each and disgusted look.

“Due to the fact you were using incomplete jutsu that are out of you class and that we had to intervene I am declaring this match a draw.”

“What!?” Naota jumped to his feet his lags shaking. He suddenly found Testue in front of him.

“That was a stupid move Naota. You don't know how to use that jutsu.” Testue looked disappointed.

“Same goes for you Kage. This kid must really get under your skin normally you think your moves out a little better.” Hoshi said to Kage looking disappointed as well.

“You could have killed yourselves and injured many of the people in the stadium had you succeeded in hitting each other with those. But enough of this I must ask that you leave the field so we can begin the next match.” The proctor pointed to the large door they had entered through. The crowd let out loud boos at interruption which the proctor ignored.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------

 

“That was stimulating.” Masen chuckled as he pated his arm rest.

“Yes I had no idea Kage had begun developing his own jutsu.” Oogi had a large smile on his face.

“Your Genin have great power. This is why the other villages fear you.” Sarutobi said as he stood and looked down at the now ragged field.

“But Sarutobi this is only because these are the first Chunin exams we have been able to participate in. Our Genin are fifteen where yours are only thirteen.” Oogi said quickly trying to avoid involving Masen in the conversation.

“Yes that is true.” Sarutobi turned to his guests his smile had returned to his face. “On to the next fight.”

 

Author's notes: I am sorry if this chapter is not as good as the last few. I have been having a little writer's block and it is making it hard to add adequate detail.
