Chapter 49 - Naruto versus neji: the invasion begins.

Naruto and neji stood in the arena battlefield.

" Heh whatever training you had its futile against me." Said neji.

Naruto smirked.

" Shows what you know let's dance neji." Said Naruto.

" Heh i won't even take a hit." Said neji.

" You know what my butt hurts you want to kiss it and make it feel better." Naruto replied.

" Okay that's enough now begin the match." Said Ibiki.

Neji came at Naruto with a set of juken strikes but Naruto easily deflected them and countered with a step in palm.

Neji shifted to the right attempting a cross over but Naruto beat him to it and countered with a elbow spike to the chin when connecting Naruto released a chakra burst and the blow sent neji backwards about six paces.

Neji grit his teeth he came at naruto thrusting his palm out but Naruto sidestepped got neji in a wrist lock and kicked neji's feet out from underneath him with a low roundhouse kick.

Neji assumed a stance of which Naruto knew what was coming.

" Eight trigram's 64 palms." Said Neji going for his barrage of finger jabs but Naruto surprised neji whenever the strokes came Naruto would deflect them with a block no matter what angle neji hit him from.

" Flowing fist: streaming encampment." Shouted Naruto

Neji then attempted a grapple aimed at naruto's head but Naruto lifted neji's arms up before pulling them down into a knee strike then Naruto then delivered a double palm spike using the white crane hand technique the blow powered by the chakra burst nearly broke neji's ribcage.

Neji fell back a couple of paces.

" Heh I won't lose to you." Said neji.

He waited for Naruto to attack.

Naruto remembered what his brother told him.

( Flashback no Jutsu)

" If Neji ever backs away from you don't engage him attack him from a distance you understand otōto." I said.

" But then how do I." Asked Naruto.

" Have you forgotten about your personal attack?" I asked.

" My personal...Oooh!!" Said Naruto in realization.

" Now give 'em hell." I said.

(Flashback no Jutsu end.)

Naruto activated his hikari-no-gan then he gathered the kūki-retsu-ken into his hands forming a ball as the sound of a bird screeching could be heard and he fired off the ball at neji the ball hit neji square in the center of mass due to it's increased speed.

Even neji's revolving heaven couldn't help him this time.

Naruto then took advantage of the opening he dashed towards neji using the shadow blur neji struck Naruto with a palm but Naruto returned it with a palm swipe across the jaw before he began blitzing neji with a series of palms animal hands and kicks until Naruto landed a powerful spinning hook kick to neji's jaw then Naruto delivered a powerful drilling palm strike into neji's midsection.

" Ryuu-rasen-ken!" Shouted Naruto.

Neji was knocked backwards thirty paces he skidded to a halt.

" What the hell was that!?" Shouted neji.

Naruto vanished and reappeared in neji's blindside.

That was the crime he said as neji went to backhand Naruto.

" And this is the penalty." Said Naruto as he executed a rising heel kick into neji's core turned that sumbitch sideways and slammed him into the damned ground.

Neji spat some blood from the attack he distanced himself and tried for an eight trigram's vacuum palm.

Naruto drew his arms in a circle forming a ball of chakra and prepared to counter the attack.

Neji then fired off the attack and Naruto fired of the Hi-rai-dama-rasengan.

The two attacks clashed and to neji's surprise naruto's attack pushed his back and expanded into a ball of mass once it connected with him before pushing him into a wall and exploding.

Neji lay battered and bruised he felt himself weak and unable to get up.

Naruto grabbed neji by the scruff of his neck and made a finger shaped like a Mantis hand.

Naruto pushed neji into a wall and he rammed his fingers right beside his head neji who had his byakugan active saw Naruto's fingers had punctured through the wall which was made of solid chakra metal.

' if he struck me in the skull with that I would've been killed.' thought neji.

" Apologize to Hinata after you get the feeling back into your legs." Naruto said and tossed neji to the ground.

Everyone including hiruzen was surprised to see Naruto use that Jutsu

" I taught Naruto those techniques except for the move he blasted neji's legs with that was his own Jutsu related to his doujutsu called the suzaku."I explained.

" Kid beat a freaking hyuga using a martial art like the jūken?" Asked the raikage.

" That's the flowing fist it's a martial art I invented." I explained.

" Heh samui looks like you got one helluva future husband." Said the raikagé.

" Yes father." Said the blonde haired beauty.

I realized that somehow a political marriage had been made for Naruto I just hope Hinata doesn't get angry when she finds out.

After the match neji was approached by Hinata.

" Lady Hinata I'm realize what I did and I want to say.... I'm sorry." He apologized.

Naruto came and found Hinata she smiled and embraced the boy.

" Thank you for that Naruto-kun." Said Hinata.

The next match would be sasuke versus Gaara.

Sasuke arrived on a leaf and faced his opponent Gaara.

Sasuke smirked as Gaara tried to launch a sand blast at him Sasuke moved fast so fast he was almost comparable to Lee and he executed a powerful spinning kick as he called out " konoha senpu!" The kick hit the sand with such force and scattered it.

Gaara tried to trap Sasuke in a prison of sand but Sasuke used the shien-kyaku to burn the sand turning it into glass and to shatter it.

Sasuke smirked he held out his palm and the sound of birds chirping could be heard and his palm was encased in lightning and Sasuke attacked Gaara moving faster than before thanks to my six eyes I could estimate that Sasuke was moving at least two times the speed of sound which seemed to be fast enough to strike Gaara in the body Gaara grit his teeth and suddenly the stadium audience was put under a genjutsu fortunately the kagé and most of the Shinobi realized it and released themselves.

I smirked well looks like imma going to get to kill that snake again.

Gaara lead Sasuke away Naruto and Hinata were able to fallow I knew Naruto would be able to handle the ichibi so I decided to stay and protect the kagé also I had a little debt to pay to a certain snake sage.

" Hey punk where do you think your going." Said a voice from behind me I recognized as kabuto

I smiled knowing I was going to enjoy this

" Well now four eyes do you think they allow terrorists like you into heaven?" I asked.

" Why do you ask me that?" Said kabuto

" Because I'm going to send you straight to hell." I said.

Oorochimaru didn't expect jiraiya the raikage the mizukage and the third hokage to be here and was that the eight tails jinchuriki this could put a hitch in his plans.

Oorochimaru decided he would use the edo tensei to summon the shodaime niidaime the yondamei and the red hot habañero to deal with them.

To be continued

Omake.

Be water my friend.

Sasuke had a hard time understanding the forms of the hi-enryuu-ken whenever talon called him over.

" Sasuke whenever you practice hi-enryuu-ken you must be fluid in your motions in other words you must be water you put water in a cup it becomes the cup, you put water in a bowl it becomes the bowl, you put it in a tea kettle it becomes the tea kettle, water is formless and shapeless yet when there is something in its way it flows through the cracks water flows but it also crashes so be water sasuke." Said talon.

It took sasuke a moment to figure out what it meant but basically talon was telling him to loosen up control his motions intercept his opponents movements and to fight without the confinement of form in other words he was telling him to just let his limits go.

Sasuke then found the forms of hi-enryuu-ken seemingly effortless.
