Ch 174: Elimination round?

Back in the village after the test.

"Is this everyone?" A proctor asks walking into the indoor sparing arena.

"Yes sir." Naruto says

"Odd, there was originally supposed to be an elimination round. But several teams didn't make it here on time." The proctor says confused having expected at least 4 more teams.

"We could always do a friendly spar so we could scout each others skills and weaknesses so we know how to train for the up coming month." Naruto says

"Hmm, that sounds like a good idea." Hiruzen says walking in aswell with a few other shinobi nodding.

"Why is my village missing 3 teams?" A Jonin of the sound village says

"What are you talking about?" Kakashi asks

"I had four teams that didn't report back. I was expecting them all to be here. Only one team is." The Jonin says confirmed.

"The forest of death is called that for a reason. Maybe they ran into a giant snake?" Naruto asks

"Like the one we did?" Hinata asks Naruto who nods in response.

"So a friendly spar? Let's keep it between our own villages then." Hiruzen says

Meanwhile Naruto is looking at Karin Uzumaki who somehow passed the exam.

"I challenge Naruto Uzumaki!" Lee shouts

Karin looks at the blonde who begins walking down in shock.

"So, friendly spar?" Naruto asks

Lee nods.

"I will take off my weights if you take off yours." Naruto says

"I don't see any weights." Lee says

Naruto suddenly takes off a skin color bracket off of his wrist that was hidden under a disillusionment.

Naruto drops it on the ground as a loud thud is heard and a ton of dust is kicked up.

"Hmm?" Naruto says before undoing his other three.

"How did you get those!?" Lee shouts amazed.

"My mother made them with fuinjutsu." Naruto says with a shrug. However it was actually gravity dust.

"I got them recently too. Mom wouldn't let me weight train till I turned 12 and even then she still didn't want me to do it." Naruto says

"Who is your mom?" Lee asks

"Ah, sorry adoptive mother. My birth mom was Kushina Uzumaki. Maybe we could go for ramen after this? This talk is kinda private to have in this setting." Naruto asks getting into a fighting stance.

Lee grins and takes off his weights they are several times larger than Naruto's but give off roughly the same effect.

=========================

"Did Naruto stare at that redhead girl?" Ruby asks

"I think she is one of his cousins? To be honest seeing her now reminded me I need to save her. Should be easy." Kyra says holding a bucket of popcorn.

"I can't wait to see that Lee kid fight." Yang says happily wanting to break down his style.

"We could probably show this to other students for motivation." Osaka says with a smile.

"Maybe? I mean Lee doesn't use chakra right? So what he does should be possible for any human." Hana says

"That could be fun? Showing the students where Naruto is and what he is doing. It might make them strive to improve." Kyra says since the grimm attack have gotten more random and violent ever since Salem was sealed.

"So big brother Naruto will go bam! And then Lee will be outside?" Harriet asks cutely.

"No, he will probably hold back... hopefully." Yang says.

"He took off his weights.

===================

Back in the room Hinata and Sasuke are watching worriedly as Naruto squares off against Lee.

"Wait? Why are we so worried?" Sasuke asks Hinata.

Both boys suddenly disappear from their position. The sound of a clash is heard, but nothing is seen.

Meanwhile to most of the Jonin in the room.

Lee and Naruto are all over the place both using hit and run tactics on each other Naruto slightly faster than Lee. Naruto also hits like a truck aswell.

Both come to a stop at the place they started Lee is breathing heavily and his clothes are torn in several places.

"How?" Lee asks

"SUCH YOUTH!" Guy shouts alittle worried about Lee though. Yet somehow he feels Naruto held back.

"Uh, that. And freakish Uzumaki stamina." Naruto says

"But you still hit me." Lee breaths out it's clear that it's painful for him to talk.

"Ah, your form was good you just weren't fast enough." Naruto says

Lee nods before falling over passed out.

"Naruto Uzumaki wins!" The proctor shouts

"What was that?" Hinata asks naruto when he gets back next to them.

"Ah, well I had to beat him before he could use his trump card. So I bullied him with speed and force." Naruto says knowing there would've been some trouble if he used the 8 gates. He could definitely win but would give up more of his abilities something mom said to never show unless necessary. Wait there was also a 'you could also show off if you have such overwhelming power that it doesn't matter. You have to be absolutely sure though that no one can pose a threat to you.' Or something like that.
