What a day.

I stood over a dying man with long hair and a blue headband, wearing a standard jounin outfit.

... I was late to prevent this, but im not too late to heal him.

Crouching down, I use the mystical palm and move my hand over the giant slash across his chest.

Right in front of my eyes, the muscles knit together, when they were done, the skin started mending. It was gruesome but fascinating nonetheless.

When that was done, I got rid of the flask jacket and channelled electricity into my hands, sending a pulse into his chest.

Nothing happened and I sent another pulse.

Under my palm, I felt the hard start working again, picking up the revived man, I carried him in my arms and jumped towards the nearest hospital.

Bursting through the door, I looked at the stunned hospital staff, who were doing nothing mind you, and stared...

"Are you gonna do your job or not? I had to resuscitate him."

Finally, they snapped out of it and rushed over to me, I sat down right outside the room they took Hayate in.

It was only a matter of time before the Hokage came looking for me, and the Raikage...

__

I sat here for two hours!

Two freaking hours!

"Hello, young man, may I ask you a few questions concerning the... situation?"

....Fuck you! I could have slept, even though I didn't need it, I could have used these hours to train my affinities.

"Okay."

Ignoring my inner thoughts, I answered simply.

The old man who looked like he couldn't lift a branch, motioned me to follow him. I did so without complaining and we headed towards the Hokage tower.

...This was going to be a...long, long night.

-The next day-

I was, thankfully, let out of the interrogation department by the time of the finals. After being interrogated by a Yamanaka, who watched the past few hours of my memories, I was let free.

Hayate had recovered and the Hokage did thank me for that.

As I entered the stadium, I could see more ninjas watching the show, but when I activated my byakugan, I could see more Anbu in some hidden parts of the stadium.

Walking up to the proctor with a senbon in his mouth, I stand beside the others. Sasuke was missing, not sure what I was expecting but meh.

"Everyone except Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuuga, please go up into the stands."

Turning around wordlessly and start heading towards the stands with my team.

"600 on the Hyuuga winning."

Karui immediately started betting. Omoi looked at her for a second before speaking up.

"Same..."

The two looked over at me, expecting me to bet as well.

Well, I wasn't complaining about free money.

"600 on the blonde."

My smirk widened at the dumbfounded look of the two of them. If people want to give me free money, who am I to refuse?

After reaching our destination, I leaned on the railing and observed.

The proctor swung his hand down and neither of them moved, Neji and Naruto observ- spoke too soon.

Naruto dashed forward, throwing a flurry of punches. Neji, deciding to show the "Might" of his clan, started deflecting the blonde's barrage without moving from his spot.

Karui scoffed from my right at the display, disappointed by the prowess of the blonde fighter.

Naruto threw a kick that Neji dodged and indirectly got hit by a chakra-enhanced strike from his opponent.

"I guess it's your loss."

Seemingly not disturbed by the hit, Naruto made four clones who took out their kunai and charged... again.

Neji, in all of his genius, did a spin mid-air...

Honestly, What the hell, any of the other closes could have thrown something at him right there.

Kicking two clones as he landed on the ground, Neji quickly delivered palm strikes to the other two clones who circled him.

Then Neji started talking.

"They're talking."

"Yes."

"in the middle of a fight..."

"Mmhmm."

"They're ninjas right?"

"Doubt it. ones wearing orange and other is...what's the word?"

"Honorable?"

"Yes, that."

The banter between the three of us stopped when Naruto made a cross-hand seal, creating a few dozen clones... who charged...

You know, the funny thing is, I thought this fight was cool when I was a kid...

Neji destroyed the first few clones before squinting his eyes, even though it didn't help any.

Seeming to find what he was looking for, Neji ran forward, passing the other clones, he went straight for the one in the back and used a chakra palm strike right on his heart, aiming for the kill.

Was this okay? Naruto was a jinchuriki, if he died, the Kyuubi died too, but the tailed beast's reform where they die in a few years, Konoha would be invaded by every other nation while they deal with the nine tails.

Honestly, the plot holes...

To everyone's surprise, The Naruto in front of Neji disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Knowing what was going to happen next, I activate my byakugan and watch as Neji preform "Rotation".

Looks like he expels chakra from his chakra points in a steady stream and the rotation of his body is to drag the expelled chakra in a circle...

The same effect could be achieved with high-level wind manipulation or a jutsu...

Honestly... Arrogance.

I was brought out of my musings when I hear the shout of "Eight trigrams: sixty-four palms".

Ignoring the absurdity of his shouting out his own technique, I focus on his hands again, he was making a pure chakra blade that burst on contact...

honestly, wouldn't it be easier if it cut through, like, use a chakra scalpel or something.

Naruto had no chance to dodge that and it showed when all the attacks landed on his body, blocking chakra points in his system.

"He's gonna stand up, isn't he?"

Karui asked with sarcasm dripping from her every word.

"Yup."

As if following fate laid out by me, the blonde Uzumaki stood up, said something that we were too far to hear and started circulating chakra.

I watch with morbid fascination as red chakra started bleeding into his blue and started going through all of his closed chakra points.

[Detect bloodlust has levelled up]

[Detect bloodlust has levelled up]

[Detect bloodlust has levelled up]

"What is that?"

Omoi's voice was shaky, and I would be terrified too if it wasn't for my gamers mind.

So... Being a jinchuriki seemingly seemed more and more enticing... But I do need to learn how to use seals for that.

Meh, Im sure I can handle it.
