Nawaki was thrown into the air and sucked into the twister of Haki and debris when Naruto completes his technique. The shock on his face was evident, as his eyes were literally popping out of his head and his jaw was on the ground. With a final push, Nawaki and all of the debris were sent flying in all different directions across the arena.

Nawaki slowly recovered and his eyes bulged once again when he saw what had happened to the arena. Naruto was standing on a lone pillar of earth, with all of the ground surrounding him completely destroyed. The massive crater was right in the middle of the arena floor and would greatly hinder whoever would be participating in the following matches if it was not fixed. However, the arena was rather large so they still had plenty of room to continue the match. Nawaki was not injured to badly, there were cuts and bruises all over his body but other than that he was fine. Though his clothing was covered in dirt and debris from the destructive attack.

Naruto finally stood up from his crouch and surveyed what his technique had done. 'Not bad...it could use a little fine tuning and I could probably make the radius larger, but it's a start.' The technique he had used was meant to destroy the surroundings and alter the terrain they were fighting on. He smiled, knowing that he had effectively countered whatever Nawaki had been planning.

He chuckled as he didn't hear a single sound from the crowd, they were shocked into absolute silence. It was a sign that his power had surpassed their expectation. There would be much more to come. Naruto leaped into the air from his spot on the earth pillar and landed just outside of his technique's blast radius.

Nawaki was broken out of his shock when he felt Naruto's presence get much closer. He looked up and saw that he was now standing just outside of the crater. 'That jutsu may have been impressive...but this match is far from over. Fate has already decided that I will be the victor!'

"That was quite impressive for the family dropout...but here is where the real battle starts!" Nawaki yelled before reaching into his weapons pouch and grabbing two handfuls of shuriken. He launched the shuriken in Naruto's direction with rather poor aim, but it wouldn't matter because of what he had planned. "Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu)" Four shuriken turned into thirty as they sped towards Naruto.

Strangely enough, Naruto didn't move a muscle or even move to defend himself. He could hear the screams of the other genin in the stands for him to get out of the way and saw that the proctor was about to leap into action. Naruto only smirked, which was clue enough for everyone not to concern themselves with him. He turned his body to fire and allowed the shuriken to pass right through him, surprising everyone in the arena.

Nawaki's smirk dropped as he saw that his shuriken had no effect on his opponent. "What was that! What the hell are you!" Nawaki demanded as he ot up from his knees.

"I am that which will burn down this very world...now if I've satisfied your curiosity...why don't you dance for me?" Naruto asked as he formed his index and middle fingers on both hands into the shape of guns. "Higan (Fire Gun)!" He turned his fingertips into flames and began to shoot bullets made of fire at Nawaki's feet.

Nawaki was forced to jump back and run from the bullets as they continued to impact the ground, wherever he stood. He sprinted to his right to try to get some distance between him and his brother, but it was to no avail as the bullets continued to chase after him. Finally he decided that he had enough of running.

"Doton: Renga no Jutsu (Earth Release: Earth Style Barrier)!" Nawaki turned around and placed his hands on the ground after forming a few hand seals. A large wall of earth erupted from the ground in front of him, blocking the fire bullets from reaching him. This was the most basic Doton technique that even those without a primary Doton affinity could preform easily, but it was quite effective in blocking weaker attacks. It also helped that it used very little chakra.

Nawaki had greatly trained his Doton affinity during the last month, his Doton and Raiton affinities were his strongest. He had found out that he had affinities for four of the five basic elements. The only one he didn't have an affinity for was Katon. One month wasn't enough time to learn to use all of them properly, so he had decided to focused on his strongest ones first.

He needed to think of a plan. Nawaki knew that this low-level barrier wouldn't hold against any of Naruto's stronger attacks if he had any. If he couldn't block Naruto's attacks fully, then he would trap Naruto himself.

The orange-clad genin rushed out from behind his barrier and saw that Naruto had slowly begun to walk towards him. This was perfect. He moved his hands into the rat hand seal and channeled his chakra into the earth.

"Doton: Ganban Kyū (Earth Release: Bedrock Coffin)." Multiple sections of rock erupted all around Naruto and mover to completely surround him, creating a large, thick earth dome. Two larger sections of earth formed with the intent to crush the ravenette, but Nawaki shouldn't have underestimated his brother.

"Enkai (Flame Commandment)." Nawaki heard from inside of the earth dome. "Hibashira (Fire Pillar)!" A large crimson-orange column of fire erupted from the earth dome, completely destroying Nawaki's jutsu.

Nawaki couldn't help but stare in awe and jealousy at the flames before him. They were magnificent and beautiful beyond belief. He was sure that he would never see another sight quite like this one. The flames danced into the sky as if they would never die out, illuminating the coliseum even further. The audience too stared as the flames burned. Normal Katon jutsu looked nothing like this, they could even feel the heat the flames gave off from all the way up in the stands.

The earth beneath Naruto began to melt into magma from the intense heat it was experiencing. The molten earth slowly began to spread as the flames continued to erupt into the sky.

The flames soon dissipated and Naruto walked out of the center of them, completely unharmed. There were sections of his body that were on fire, but he didn't seem bothered by them in the least. In fact, it seemed as if he welcomed the flamed to his body. All of the flames that were left behind from the previous attack converged onto his form as he began to glow yellow and merged with them.

"Do you still think you have a chance at victory Nawaki?...Gice up now and I will save you the embarrassment of being burned alive in front of all these people." Naruto stated, giving Nawaki the same choice that he was given before the match started.
