Chapter 32: White!

A/N: Hei everyone. In the Winner vs Winner match I mentioned last chapter, I put Izumi as the winner of the third match without any opponent. Actually, I forget that there is one more winner; Kurotsuchi. So, I made a change in that chapter as Izumi vs Kurotsuchi. For that mistake, I apologize.

#Match 2: Kaguya Kimimaro vs Hyuuga Neji

Both contestant then appeared in the arena. Neji did not delay any moment and jumped toward Kimimaro, trying to fight him in close combat.

Kimimaro know that Neji have the shadow ability. So, he jumped away while shooting a barrage of bones toward Neji. Neji jumped back to avoid the bones. After that he charged again toward Kimimaro. However, Kimimaro is always a distance away from him while continuing to shoot a barrage of bones towards Neji.

"This is going to take a while." said Naruto. "It's best if Neji uses his bijuu, so that the fight may end fast."

"You looking for me?" asked Inugami who was sitting not far from Yin Kurama.

"Huh!? Why are you here?"

"I left Neji to fight on his own." replied Inugami.

"Then, Neji will be in trouble."

"Who knows."

"..."

Naruto was surprised when he looked at the confident look on Inugami's eyes. It make him curious on what this confidence have to do with Neji.

On the ring, Neji now stopped charging and throwed some kunai toward Kimimaro. Seeing this Kimimaro shot the same amount of attack but using his bones. Their attack cancelled out each other.

"This is not going anyway. Do you have anymore technique to show?" asked Kimimaro.

"Take this." Neji throwed more barrage of kunai and shuriken and Kimimaro matched it with a barrage of bones. Now, the arena are littered by kunais, shurikens and bones.

"Now, take this. Kaiten Shuriken Throw!"

Neji activated the Kaiten. However, he was not attacking, but instead, he is throwing shurikens and kunais. The fast rotation and movement when using t Kaiten, made the thrown kunai to move so fast. In an instant, all those thrown weapon almost reached Kimimaro.

These sudden change of attack left Kimimaro in bind, and forced him to activate his bone to shield his flesh. Suddenly a thrown kunai missed Kimimaro and passed toward Kimimaro's back.

"Explode!"

Boom!

That kunai turned into an explosion tag and exploded, forcing Kimimaro to jump toward the center of the arena. At this moment, Neji jumped toward Kimimaro and uses his tanto to slash at Kimimaro. Seeing this Kimimaro hold out a bone from his hand and blocked the slash.

'Shit!'

At this moment, Kimimaro know that he was forced into a trap. Neji's shadow is already connected to his shadow.

"Now, you are caught." said Neji with a smile. He then used the same tactic that he used on Naruto to defeat Kimimaro. The difference is that he used raikiri to coat the tanto and stabbed it to Kimimaro's heart.

Plop! Clang! Thrust!

Something unexpected happen. Neji's attack was fended by bone shield for a moment and then pierced through it because of the lightning effect, but Kimimaro was still fine. There is only a small amount of blood leaking from that wound. On the other hand, Kimimaro's hand that was suppose to hold nothing and imitate Neji's movement to thrust, was now holding a long blade of bones. That bones stabbed through Neji's heart, and still extending and penetrating through Neji's back.

"That was a big mistake you did there." said, Kimimaro. Neji coughed some blood and and lost his consciousness. He then fall to the side, but Kimimaro caught him with left hand, while his right hand pulled the bone from Neji's body. The two of them then disappeared from the arena.

#Match 2 winner is Kaguya Kimimaro.

On top of the platform, Neji and Kimimaro appeared. Neji is already conscious again. Using his Byakugan, he checked his body, and sighed in relief once he found out that his heart is still in good condition.

"I lost." sighed Neji. "I thought I stabbed you there. How are you still fine?"

"We of the Kaguya clan can move our bone freely remember. Although you can control my body from the outside, you won't be able to control something that is inside of me. I know that you will utilise your shadow technique the moment you charged toward me.

So, I already prepared a counter measure for your tactic. Although, I didn't know that you could use lightning to coat your sword. However, I just need to use my bones to shift my organs from your sword trajectory, and everything turned fine." explained Kimimaro.

Neji sighed, and accepted his defeat.

After that, ther third match of Winner vs Winner was won by Izumi easily. Although Kurotsuchi have with him the eight tail, Suzaku, it was literally still a kid, and easily overwhelmed by Izumi using her Susanoo. In the end, Kurotsuchi forfeited.

- Winner vs Winner match is already concluded. Next is the Top 3 match. The three winner will fight simultaneously in the arena.

This time Zokuto, Izumi and Kimimaro entered the ring to fight a three way fight...or not. In the arena, Izumi and Kimimaro teamed up to fight against Zokuto.

"So, you guys choose to take me down together huh. Good. Come then, entertaine me." said Zokuto, signalling for the two to attack.

On the top platform, every participant is looking at the place where Zokuto was standing just now. At that place, there are seven bijuu, looking down on the arena. These are Yang Kyuubi, Saya, Nero, Gurr, Mora, Isobu, and Chiro. All of them are in a chibi mode, especially Chiro, who is literally Saya's child.

All the participant already know that Zokuto and his group owned some bijuus that can come out freely from their body. They also know that these bijuu is usually in a chibi form when they got outside. The thing that shocked them is that there are seven of them there. Seven!

Where did Zokuto got so many bijuu?

"I thought Zokuto only have five bijuu. Why is there another two?" asked Neji, looking at Naruto.

"Uh...don't ask me. I don't know." said Naruto.

Neji looked at the bijuus. Saya felt him look at them.

"Neji-kun, what is it? You interested in me?" said Saya, winking at Neji. Neji and the others sweat dropped at those sentence.

"I'm sorry Neji-kun. I'm already belong to Zokuto. Here. Meet our kid, Chiro."

Ark!Ark!

"WHATT!???"

When Saya said that Chiro is their kid, Chiro responded and wagged its tail. The rest of the people there were stunned hearing this. The bijuus at Saya's side all sweat dropped too.

"Is that true?" asked Naruto.

"Yes." Ark! Ark!

Both Chiro and Saya nodded. This confirmation caused Zokuto's brother and friends to show a look of shock and strangeness.

"Unbelievable." said Haku.

"Yes. This is hard to believe." Kubo.

"Why sensei? Am I not good enough for you? Why do it with your bijuu? huhu..." Kara is starting to shed some tears.

"How is that possible? Human and bijuu?" Naruto subconsciously looked at Yin Kurama, causing that bijuu to shiver.

"DO YOU WANT TO DIE?" shouted Yin Kurama.

"Naruto-kun, please don't think about that." said Hinata, feeling uneasy.

"No no no. I am not thinking that. Absolutely not." Naruto hurriedly refuted Hinata, and shook his head.

"You should not lie to children, Saya." said Yang Kurama. "See, you lie just made a big misunderstanding on his friends and brother."

"I know that. But, it felt so satisfying to look at their funny faces. hehe." Saya chuckled. "Besides, what I said is literally true. Zokuto created Chiro with my chakra body."

Ark! Ark! Chiro nodded.

"Sigh. Chiro, you should grow fast and learn the proper language. That way, your will impress your papa." advised Saya lovingly.

Inside the arena, Zokuto sneezed and shivered involuntarily. "Did someone talk behind my back?"

Swish!

A bone blade slashes by, almost cutting Zokuto's throat. Fortunately, Zokuto dodged the slash. Before he could counter, Izumi arrived at his left side and stabbed him with a kunai. Zokuto caught Izumi's hand. He then threw Izumi toward Kimimaro, to parry Kimimaro another slash with Izumi's kunai. The throw almost made Izumi and Kimimaro hit each other. They uses their hands to stop their collision. Zokuto took that time to deliver two punches, one for Kimimaro and and the other one for Izumi. These punches send the two flying, and fall to the edge of the arena.

Kimimaro and Izumi stood back from the fall. Kimimaro showed no wound as he shielded himself with bones. Izumi also did not get wounded as a shield-like chakra that in orange color protected on her stomach.

"Susanoo!"

The orange colored chakra shield then extended and shrouded Izumi's entire body, turning into a big avatar.

"Kimimaro, do you have anything that powerful enough to beat him?" asked Izumi.

"I do have some moves, but I'm not sure whether it can defeat him or not. Furthermore, I am not yet familiar with those moves." replied Kimimaro.

"If we want to defeat him, we might as well use all our move on him."

"You are right." said Kimimaro. "Well then, let me show what I can do. Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Suddenly, Kimimaro's three tomoe sharingan rotated fast, and transformed into Mangekyou Sharingan. The pattern on his eyes is similar to Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan, but instead of black pattern, it was a white pattern.

"Susanoo!"

A white Susanoo appeared and enveloped Kimimaro. After that, Kimimaro closed his left eye, leaving only his right eye open.

"White!"

Suddenly, a white area expanded from Kimimaro, towards his surrounding, in a sphere like space. Finally, the white area enveloped the whole arena. From others eye perspective, they only see white. Anything is white, making one think that nothing exist in this white area. Only Kimimaro can saw who is inside it, or influence someone to be able to look clearly in this space. He willed it, and Izumi can look normally in this space again.

"What was that? I feel like I was seeing white just now." said Izumi.

"That is my right eye ability. I can influence an area to become completely white for a period of time." Natsu.

"Then, why can I see normally again in this white area?"

"Well, I can let others be able to gain their normal sight in these space."

"I see. How long can you maintain this effect?"

"Ten minutes."

"Then, we need to hurry. Who knows, Zokuto might be able to somehow escape this area."

"You are right. Let's attack him now."

"Let me attack first. Toketsu!"

Izumi activated her right eye ability to freeze the white blinded Zokuto. A seconds later, Zokuto turned into a white ice sculpture.
