CH 29

Choji nodded, "But what about all of that stuff she was screaming? Slaughters, tortures, beatings? What does all of that stuff mean?"

Shikamaru watched Naruto retake his spot, "I don't know but we have a real concern right now. We don't know who's fighting him after this. Look at him, he hasn't had to do anything at all and he's already won two fights."

Asuma walked up behind them and placed a hand on their shoulders, "Don't worry guys, he's fighting Kiba next. Even if he doesn't lose, Kiba will wear him down enough for the next fight."

XxX

Kiba was smirking as he set Akamaru down beside him, "Finally, time for my rematch Naruto! You won last time, but you can't do it twice, I'm getting my win back!"

Naruto said nothing and looked to Anko to start the fight, "Match three, Naruto Uzumaki vs. Kiba Inuzuka! Hajime!"

"Shikyaku no Jutsu (Four Legs Technique)!" Kiba crouched down on all fours as his features became even more feral. This was all well and good for about three seconds until a blue shinobi sandal implanted itself under his chin and sent him flying backwards.

Akamaru ran to his master, barking frantically as Kiba slowly pulled himself to his feet. Kiba shakily stood up, "Yeah, yeah, I'm alright boy, he just caught me off guard." He looked up to reveal that Naruto was nowhere in sight. Kiba chuckled before jumping out of the way as a pair of hands broke through the ground he was standing on.

Kiba laughed as he dodged the hands, "I thought I told you last time! I can smell you dobe! You can't sneak up on me!" His gloating was cut short as a sharp pain in his back sent him flying forward. Looking up from the ground he saw Naruto standing with his leg extended in a kick. He turned towards the underground figure to see the hands explode into smoke.

Kiba stood up and glared at him, "I had your scent! Where were you? There was no way you could get the drop on me!"

Naruto lowered his leg and gazed out coolly at Kiba, "You should quit out of principle. If this was a real fight then I would have killed you just now." Kiba growled at Naruto while he just looked at him, "Just because you can identify that I'm in the area means jack shit if I'm too fast for you to pinpoint my location."

Kiba hurriedly grabbed a pill from his pocket and threw it at Akamaru, remembering his opening troubles when it came to moving too slow. The little dog turned red after swallowing the pill while Kiba provided him some of his chakra, "Juujin Bunshin (Man-Beast Clone)!" Kiba pulled out his smoke bombs and threw them at Naruto, engulfing him in smoke, "Remember this Naruto! Well here we go again!" Kiba and the transformed Akamaru ran at the smoke and jumped towards it, "Gatsuuga (Dual Piercing Fang)!"

After the twin drills tore through the smoke until it dissipated Kiba and Akamaru stood in the smoke, sans Naruto, dumbfounded… and surrounded by kunai.

Naruto came from his spot in the tree over to them. Kiba saw him walking up with his hands in a hand-sign and tried to charge and attack him before running into an invisible barrier that threw him back and numbed his body, "What the hell is this?"

Naruto made some more hand-signs before stopping halfway through the last one, "You should surrender. This is going to suck for you."

Kiba bared his teeth at him, "Answer me! What did you do!"

Naruto shook his head, "It's not what I did, it's what I'm going to do. Last chance, I'm not supposed to really be trying to kill you guys and this jutsu has the potential to do it."

Kiba and Akamaru just kept trying to break through his barrier. Naruto shrugged and made the last hand sign, "Your funeral, "Raiton: Denki Hokai (Lightning Release: Electric Implosion)."

The electric prison glowed white within until it was blindingly bright before the sounds of sharp crackling rang out. Naruto held the final hand-sign for ten seconds before he finally released it, revealing Kiba and Akamaru both unconscious and suffering from electric burns.

Naruto walked over and picked up his kunai as Anko checked Kiba and Akamaru's vitals. She sighed in relief upon finding they were still alive and looked at Naruto who was pocketing his kunai. Naruto shrugged, "What? I asked him if he wanted to surrender. Did he think that anything I did from that point wouldn't mess him up?"

Anko gave him a dry look, "You know you kids aren't supposed to kill each other out here."

Naruto gave her one in response, "He's still breathing isn't he? If I wanted to kill him you could have replaced those kicks I landed at the start with my sword."

Anko shook her head and smirked, "Shousa, Naruto Uzumaki!"

Naruto glanced at Kiba being placed on a stretcher and returned to the center of the arena, "And that's roughly one-third of them down." Naruto turned up towards the jounin and gestured towards Kiba who was being carried off, "Get the point yet? Because before I could swear that you all missed it!"

XxX

Kurenai was stunned. The first time Naruto beat Kiba it was surprising. She had thought it impossible then, but now more than realized that he was capable of it. It was how easily he beat Kiba this time around, Kiba didn't lay a finger on him the entire time.

Kurenai clutched the order sheet as she marked off Kiba's name. Tsunade noticed that the crowd was perplexed. They had all been told that Naruto had no talent as a ninja and here he was decimating the best ninja in his class, all of whom except one belonged to prominent clans.

Kakashi moved closer to Tsunade, "Tsunade-sama, it seems like you expected this to happen. Is there something that you know that we all don't?"

Tsunade grinned smugly at Kakashi, "Why Kakashi? Isn't he on your team? Shouldn't his jounin sensei have an idea of what goes on with his students?"

Kakashi was not in the mood for games, "Tsunade-sama, seriously. This Naruto is nothing like the one I was conditioned for when he was assigned to my squad. Something has happened and I can tell you know what is going on."

Tsunade turned to Kakashi and gave him a serious look, "Listen Hatake, all I am at liberty to really say about the matter is that Naruto has rediscovered his potential. This is the real Naruto, if you want to find out about him then go and ask him yourself. If this keeps up he won't be yours to command for much longer anyway."

XxX

Naruto immediately put his game face on when he realized who he was to fight next, "Okay, pop-warner time is over, time to get serious…"
