The four reached the base of the tower in good time, Naruto's disguise firmly in place. When they stopped Naruto looked up at it intently.

"Naruto?" Sakura questioned him.
"Gaara and his siblings are already here. So is Lee's team and the Sound team that attacked us. I also feel Hinata's and Shikamaru's. Hinata tells me there is a puzzle to get in using both scrolls."
Sakura frowned at him "I thought they were going to wait for us out here?"
"It seems that since they have both scrolls and know I can hear their thoughts they saw no reason to wait.”
“So we now have a pack of heaven and earth scrolls with nothing to use them on” Sasuke said mentally, “what do we do with them?” Naruto shrugged “either we wait here with them for OTHER teams to give them too, possibly other Kohona teams, or we go in and give it to the next adult in charge.”
“Go in, give it to an adult” Sasuke said without hesitation “if the others aren’t good enough to get the scroll themselves, they either aren’t good enough to be them or not ready yet.”
‘“True” the others nodded.
At the door the four were met by the other two members of Kabuto’s team. One spoke as they approached “there you are Kabuto, you’re LATE.” When Kabuto looked sheepish and apologized Naruto frowned at the so called Kohona ninja.
“What is it, Naruto?” Sakura asked him softly.
“His teammates are also spies but that’s not all. THAT one, he’s jealous of the....connection Kabuto has with their master. His heart is filled with jealousy and something not as strong as hate but more than dislike. I wouldn’t put it past him to be willing to the second he thinks Kabuto has done something wrong to try and take his place. However he has nowhere near the skill and knowledge he has and will never even be anywhere near equal Kabuto. I see now why Orochimaru chose to take him in and convince him he could help him. He is much more than he seems.”
So the three decided to built up their spy companion, thanking him in front of his teammates for his help and stating how they would have never made it without him. With Naruto in his disguise and acting the fool and Sasuke leaning on Sakura, they definitely looked the part, even when Kabuto turned to deny his part. However while they did Naruto mentally warned the other about his mutinous thoughts and jealousy “be careful” he warned “this guy will take advantage of any opportunity you give him, thinking he could become Orochimaru’s new ‘pet’. That’s all he sees you and your relationship with your master as, a master and ‘beloved’ pet and he wants that attention. He doesn’t see the truth.”
“I know” the other said “It’s not unusual for Sound. Orochimaru has his spies and ninja in constant competition for his attention and favor. You don’t know what it’s like there where everyone will stab you in the back for the slightest thing. The only one they don’t defy, compete with or even consider doing so with in Orochimaru sama himself. Don’t worry, I know how to handle him.”
Naruto took his word for it and they said their goodbyes. While the three team members entered the doors the three spies remained behind. As the doors closed behind them, Naruto looked back and grinned widely.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto's grin seemed to grow wider "nothing."
Sasuke was about to speak again when Sakura gasped "look!"
On the wall in front of them was an large hanging scroll. "The riddle" Naruto said "Sakura why don't YOU work it out? You're the smart one among us."
The pale red haired girl blushed in pleasure and after letting Sasuke go move forward to get a better look.
"If qualities of heaven are your desire, acquire wisdom to take your mind higher. If earthen qualities are what you lack, train your body and prepare to attack. When heaven and earth are opened together, the perilous path will becomes righteous forever. This....SOMETHING....is the secret way, that guides us from this place today."
Naruto and Sasuke exchanged looks, THEY knew what it meant. However they wanted to see if Sakura could figure it out. "SOMETHING?" Naruto questioned softly "what do you think it all means?"
Sakura looked thoughtful "well Heaven and Earth refers to the scrolls. You DID say it was a riddle about them, didn't you?" she looked at Naruto who nodded. "Then MY guess is that we are supposed to open both scrolls, together."
The boys frowned at her "are you SURE Sakura?" they questioned.
She nodded "I think it's what it's telling us. Besides, it's like what Naruto said earlier, right? It's all about testing our loyalty and ability to obey orders."
"What do you mean?"
"Well the test was to see if we would give into temptation on a mission and open and read something we weren't supposed to, that's what Naruto said, right?" When the boys nodded she went on "the tower would be classed as Kohona. So by entering it meant we successfully delivered the scroll and are now trying to decipher it." She motioned at the scroll hanging from the wall "and THAT is the key."
Naruto grinned at her "I think you've hit the nail on the head. Which means we've just deciphered an enemies plans."
Sakura nodded "only the riddle is so simple due to us all being only gennin."
"Let's do it then" both boys opened the scrolls and placed them on the floor, earth first and heaven on top.
Smoke immediately came up from the center, flowing up and around to swirl until suddenly clearing to reveal....
None other than Kakashi, grinning at them behind his mask, eyes creasing with the force of his smile. “Yo” he waved with two fingers casually. Naruto looked disgruntled “I thought Chichi would come.”
Kakashi sweat-dropped “he’s busy right now Naruto and that’s no way to speak to your elders.”
“Whatever” Naruto grunted. Before the man could speak again Sakura had “what’s happening, sensei? Why are you here?”
“Right” he eye-smiled again “at the end of the second exam a chunnin are supposed to welcome the test takers back. Only I volunteered to do yours. You made it just in time. Congratulations, you past the second exam!”
Naruto and the others blinked at him. However Kakashi was going on “I DID expect you guys here sooner though, what took you so long?” Sakura sweat-dropped, Sasuke snorted and Naruto just rolled his eyes “we ran into some....snags. I’ll tell you about it later.”
“Right, so I’m here to explain the meaning of the scroll......”
“We know” Naruto said.
“We do?” Sakura frowned.
Yes. Heaven stands for the mind, Earth is body. If qualities of heaven-the mind-are your desire, acquire wisdom to take your mind higher. In others words if you lack the knowledge study hard and help increase your intellect.”
Sasuke added “If earthen qualities-the body-are what you lack, train your body and prepare to attack. in other words train your body until it is as perfect as your mind.”
“When heaven and earth are opened together-in other words when both mind and body are trained to perfection-the perilous path will becomes righteous forever, even dangerous missions are easy.” Naruto went on.
“But what about the missing bit, the This....SOMETHING....is the secret way, that guides us from this place today?” Sakura asked.
“That part is up to YOU to find in yourselves.” Naruto grinned and Kakashi stood aside, motioning them through the door opposite them “go ahead, Follow the hall until you reach the meeting room. And, good luck all of you” the three nodded, Naruto threw him the pouch of extra scrolls, Kakashi poofed away and the three moved inside.
Soon they reached an large room, filled with A LOT of other people, among them they grinned when they saw the other rookie teams.
“What a drag” Shikamaru said “so many other teams made it.”
“I’m hungry” Choji whined. Ino lit up “Sakura and her team made it too!”
“Of course” Shikamaru snorted “with Naruto and Sasuke was there any doubt?” Naruto, watching Kakashi and Gai converse, grinned sardonically at something he heard. “Seven teams out of twenty-six left” he added as his grin widened.
“I don’t have a good feeling about this” Sasuke said softly.
When the Third stepped forward to explain the reason for the tests and what the next events were to be, the group listened intently. Naruto linked the minds of the other seven guardians and his fellow Skulk. "We are at an advantage here, no matter what these others think of themselves" he sent "we have our glyphs-either from our connection or personal" he glanced at Sasuke who gathered what he meant. "Plus our connection to Mother Earth turns that into completely unequal. To top it off we were trained by both Itachi-the youngest ANBU ever and Chichi who has eons of fighting experience."
"What are you saying?" they questioned.
"That we use what we learned from the academy, as teams so far and from our clans, nothing more."
"Are you KIDDING?! I thought the whole idea here was to show off what we CAN do, what our village was capable of!"
"True but to do so we show other village the upper hand we bear. Any....strife they know what we can and can't do. Look at Sand, what if I hadn't helped Gaara and earned their favor? What if I showed my abilities during the preliminaries? They could easily adjust their plans and attack during the invasion to suit my abilities."
"True" Shikamaru came back with "so you're saying it would be tactically sound to let the enemy underestimate us."
"Exactly" Naruto nodded.
"What about YOU, Naruto" Sasuke said "You have you're enhanced speed, strength and the Spectral Jump. If one of US fight you, we have NO CHANCE."
"I wasn't planning to use them" Naruto said thoughtfully "however if YOU feel you can't win without it, if you feel you're life is in danger, use Itachi and Chichi's training, or what I taught you from erosan. If you use the glyphs or Guardian abilities it will raise too many questions among not just ours but the other villages. Chichi says The Third and Tsunade-hime are already getting closer to knowing about the glyphs as it is. They know Kakashi sensei knows now and the only reason they don't force him to tell them is the fact it would cause us to no longer trust him as our team leader and sensei.
Can you imagine what one of the other villages would do if they were to find out about it?"
"They would possibly kidnap and torture one of us for the secret of how it was accomplished" Shikamaru added.
"But these are allie villages!" Sakura protests.
"That would mean nothing to them if it meant a way to....enhance their Shinobi" Sasuke said "a lot of villages are our allies simply because we are bigger and more powerful than them. If they could gain a way to become more powerful than us, they wouldn't hesitate to not only break the alliance but risk war. Look at Suna."
Sakura realized he was right.
"They wouldn't believe for a minute we had no idea how the ceremony worked, that the end result was an accident and could never be replicated, they would continue to torture us for the secret until we either broke completely or one of us others rescued them, no guarantee still in one peace. Our love ones or team may also be in danger if they think they could use them against us."
This time the entire group shuddered.
"Out there, in the field of battle, when it's life or death and there is no referee, using them is not only allowed but encouraged so you may come home to us safe. But here....." Naruto motioned at the room and ninja around them "THIS, this is just games. They may be their villages best but they are still children compared to us and Gaara, they haven't had near the training we have. WE were trained to kill even though we have yet to do so, they were trained in honor of their village and even then those few who have weren't trained by nearly the best as we have. Through me you were trained by two of the three best ninja in this world, the youngest ANBU ever and the oldest being on this planet; only compared to the planet itself. You will beat them easily."
Kiba sounded amused "are you giving us a pep talk or trying to talk us out of using the glyphs?"
Naruto's mental voice came back the same "maybe both."
"Don't worry, we won't use them." Naruto sounded relieved "thank you."
"You all really should be paying attention here" a new but familiar voice in their heads spoke "look around you."
The group looked around them and sweat-dropped. All the other ninja were moving off to the outside ring areas, leaving them alone.
The group of nine moved as well, joining their sensei's. While they did, Sasuke asked "Naruto did you..."
"I did NOT" he said indignantly.
Sasuke frowned "then how did Kakashi-sensei...." Naruto looked at Hinata.
"I thought our sensei's should know what we were doing and planning" she said "so I let them join in here."
Naruto froze and looked at her "HOW EARLY."
"What...?"
"How much of the conversation did they hear?"
"All of it" she answered "since you three arrived."
"Then they heard us talk about...." Choji started. "Aww hell" Shikamaru finished, uncharacteristically scared.
"That's right" an older male firm voice said, sounding like the two were going to get a firm talking too afterwards.
Hinata frowned at them "you haven't told Asuma-sensei? Shino told us from day one we should tell Kurenai-sensei so she wouldn't touch them and so she knew what to do or not to do."
"Chichi told Kakashi the day we became a team" Naruto added from their side "by keeping it from Asuma-san you're keeping vital information from him about not just a possible weakness, but strength as well. He can't train you to the best of you're abilities if you don't tell him about them."
Before anyone else could speak Naruto paused thoughtfully then said softly "I understand."
He turned to the man and bowed low to him in apology "I'm sorry, Asuma-sama, this is MY fault."
"Naruto no!" the others started to protest but the boy ignored them "when it happened Niisan and neesan convinced the others if anyone knew, my life would be in danger, that people would kill me for 'contaminating' them. Chichi told Kakashi sensei and I think Hinata and her team told Kunerai-sensei from necessity, but Shika and Choji didn't know they knew, they kept it from you to protect ME, to protect all of us. That is MY FAULT."
"Naruto, NO" Shikamaru started "this is OUR FAULT, it's all on us...."
Asuma ignored them and looked at Naruto "when did this happen?"
"When we were five, sir" he answered truthfully.
"And you said it was an accident, why?"
"Neesan had a way we could kind of connect so if anything happened to one of us the others could track and locate them. When we did so something happened. Neesan thinks it was the intensity of our feelings for each other mixed with my connection to niisan caused the thing to become something else. This way not only can we always protect or rescue each other but they can have a way to escape in life-or-death situations."
The big man hesitated, thinking "so all this thing is is another way to protect themselves if it comes to it."
Naruto nodded.
The man reached a decision "then it is not important we know. Unless it means it will hamper their abilities as ninja...."
"Well that depends how you look at it" Naruto said, looking back at the two teammates "I think your team should explain the advantages and drawbacks of it" he moved aside so the reluctant two could shuffle forward "along with their new....appointments" he looked from Hinata's team to Kurenai as well. The other three moved forward so they could join her while Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto could recap the events for their one-eyed teacher.
Kakashi expressed an interest in their new abilities, mainly Sasuke's, and when Sakura deflated, mumbling she would be useless, Naruto pointed out how much her new appointment would be an asset to the medical field, especially Tsunade.
This caused Sakura to light up in excitement and happiness. After the recap they were just in time for the first fight.
Sasuke verses one of Kabuto's team. Of course Sasuke easily won.
Naruto frowned when Choji lost. Obviously he had been holding back. When they asked him why he stated that he KNEW Naruto would win and he had no intention of faces him in the third round. Besides, it would look staged if ALL Kohona ninja passed.
Temari won against Tenten.
The next made Naruto snort, the egotistic member of Kabuto's team who get his ass kicked by Kankurõ. Good.
The next made Naruto moan pitifully.
Gaara Vs Rock Lee.
As the two faced each other on opposite sides of the ring, Naruto saw the other vessel look up at him slightly for just a second from the corner of his eyes.
"Just don't kill him" was all he sent the other "remember, every ninja is needed for the invasion attempt."
What followed caused Naruto to shake his head as the green-clad boy steadily pissed off the demon vessel. He winced when Gaara broke his legs and damaged his spine, muttering how 'Tsunade is gonna be pissed' with the new patient, but when the demon made a slight move as if about to finish him off, he KNEW he had to act.
At the exact same time he opened his mind and started to talk him down, Gai turn up and stood between him and his student.
"Calm down, little brother" Naruto said to the red head in an calm soothing voice, his words and tone echoed at the exact same time by Kyuubi to the other demon.
"He....."
"I know" the two echoed "but there is things here about this boy you don't know. In a lot of ways he's the same as us."
In the ring Gaara went perfectly still. "What do you mean?"
"Lee was orphaned during the attack twelve years ago. He grew up in an orphanage without the love you had from your uncle and I had from Chichi or affection from the Third, he had no one. When he was old enough to go to the Academy they discovered he was even more different than before, a 'freak' like us."
"What do you mean?" the demon and vessel repeated in union.
"He has no chakra to manipulate, he can not ever do any jutsu's like we can. To the Academy that means he is useless as a ninja."
While outside Gaara didn't react, both were shocked and confused "but..."
"He can not use any jutsu's like us, only Taijutsu. That attack wasn't really an jutsu, it just APPEARED to be. Gai-sensei taught him that to use only in emergencies-life or death type of stuff. Lee is desperate to make Gai sensei proud of him, he is and was the only affection he has ever got in his life. You KNOW as well as we do, just how obsessed that can make you-hence the mini-Gai. He emulates his only ever source of love and affection."
When Gai stood up to Gaara, protecting him from him, Naruto said gently in their heads, just three mental words"let them go."
Gaara turned and glared at the 'referee' who proclaimed him the winner, striding back to his siblings side while Lee was taken away on a stretcher.
Naruto's eyes went to the Third who nodded minutely. Naruto told the others and Spectral Jumped to the hospital, knowing the Third would make sure his fight didn't come up before he could help Tsunade help the green-clad other.
He left a clone behind however, both to pretend he was still there and to watch the other fights, smirking when, as he left, Kabuto and his team quit before they could start.
His clones were something different altogether. Solid they could temporarily fight as him, only dispelling when seriously injured or willed by him. However any damage done to them was then transferred to Naruto himself.
With the influence of Kyuubi and Raziel's chakra and spectral energy they changed even more. He could use their eyes to see through or even Whisper them during battle. They could remain when he was asleep or unconscious to defend him or others, maintained by Kyuubi or Raziel, or even in emergency situations of that sort one of the two could actually possess the clone and use it as their own body.
Again only dispelled by serious injury or Naruto himself.
Shino winning was no surprise to him. A LOT of people took his silence for being withdrawn inside of himself, when he was as sharp and intelligent as Shikamaru. They thought the way he seemed to disappear into the back ground as submission and fear, but in reality his ever watchful analytical mind was taking everything in, figuring out how they worked and how to use that against them, and with being one of the Skulk he could be and in many cases WAS MORE ruthless then them! As the saying went, "it is always the quite ones to look out for, they hurt the most when they rear up and bit you on the ass."
Sakura surprised him when she lost, but Naruto hoped that taught her a lesson, never underestimate you opponent and overestimate your own abilities, they, and an easily riled up temper could get you in trouble.
They would have to work with her about that after all this.
Shikamaru was no surprise. He may have acted like an lazy bum but in the end it was a fight and he treated it like what it was, even if he used his intelligence more than his body to fight.
His attention was pulled back to what he was doing as the formally unconscious Lee started to-despite the agony he must be in-struggle to rise, protesting loudly how he needed to get back to the fight and finish it.
"It's done, Lee, you lost" Naruto said bluntly.
The boy went limp, allowing the healers to get to work while his eyes, all the begging in the world as well as tears, looked at him "but....sensei. If I loose then I've disappointed sensei. I can't disappoint sensei after all he did for me." He looked so frightened by that idea alone.
Naruto understood. Lee had had no one all his life. Treated as an freak and disappointment because of his chakra stage he had latched onto the first person to say ANYTHING positive to him and even adopted him as an father-figure or even a god in a way.
He dressed like him, emulated him and took EVERY SINGLE THING he said as not only gospel but as his life's purpose.
An unhealthy obsession definitely. It reminded him of Razeil with Kain in early vampire years really, (remember the start of Soul Reaver, Razeil's narration, his comment of Kain becoming 'deified') but at least his niisan hadn't been that bad.
His right fox ear twitched towards the door, Gai was there, trying to get in. Naruto was glad in a way, the sensei SHOULD had been at the preliminaries watching his other two students fight, but instead he was here, wanting to check and even help his injured student. This would either feed the young man's obsession, knowing his sensei had left the others for him, or give him the encouragement he needed.
Naruto blinked, it was neither, his clone showed the man was still there. So one of them was a clone, which he didn't know and since when could Gai use a clone?
Naruto turned his attention back to the boy as he tried to rise again.
"Lee" he said gently but firmly "you have to lie still. This injury is delicate, the more you move the more you risk doing worse damage to your spine and being paralyzed for life."
"But....sensei! And I can't loose the exams! I will be throwing everything sensei taught me away if I fail! The Chunnin Exams is the ultimate proof I have became an ninja, a TRUE ninja! I can't...."
So to Lee the exams was his way to prove to everyone that he wasn't a failure as a ninja because he couldn't manipulate his chakra, and by not reaching the last stage he had not only proved them right but failed everything his sensei had taught him.
"You can try again next year...." Naruto started softly.
"I CAN NOT!" the boy nearly screamed, trying to rise once more.
Naruto frowned and with a quick burst of chakra down his nerves had temporarily paralyzed the other boy. When the boy looked up at him wide eyed Naruto spoke "There is something you should know, Lee." Seeing he had the boy's attention he continued "they're a fake."
"What?" he looked at him.
"The Chunnin exams. Have you ever heard the winners of last year being called Chunnins? No? Because they're not. The entire purpose of the exams is for villages to show off their latest talent, both to other villages and the villagers. It's only called what it is because the leaders need a reason to convince their new ninja to enter and not make it a mission. After all if YOU thought there was an quick and easy way to become one without all the crap of trying to meet the requirements of moving up rank through missions, wouldn't YOU jump at the chance?"
Lee was speechless.
"After all, that's exactly what YOU thought, wasn't it."
His mouth opened and closed before he managed "but....you....Gai sensei..."
"He didn't lie to you, Lee, it's just an well kept secret. If you don't figure it out for yourself, well...." he shrugged "that's not his or anyone's fault. I bet you Neji and Tenten have figured it out by now as well. By loosing nothing has changed Lee. Even if Neji or Tenten win, it won't change how Gai sensei sees you as apposed to them. He'll just help you heal and get stronger for next year so you can prove it to him then. Agreed?"
The boy pursed his lips in determination and nodded "right!"
"Now lay still so we can help you get back on your feet" Naruto said as Tsunade entered the room.
For the next ten to fifteen minutes Naruto just concentrated on his Godmother, watching her closely while keeping up a regular flow of chakra, following her instructions to the letter.
Finally when she drew back and sighed he looked at her for a sign "is he....?" The blonde didn't speak, just motioned him to follow her out of the room.
Once they had left the sleeping boy's room she sighed again "I've done everything I can for now, but the vertebra and discs of the spine are tricky bones. The legs were nearly pulverized, but a few more sessions I SHOULD be able to help that. It's fortunate he's so strong and tough. He's Maito Gai's student isn't he?"
When Naruto nodded she went on "then that's his good luck" she looked at Naruto in reproach "what was the demon vessel thinking?!"
Naruto sweat-dropped "Purified does NOT mean he doesn't have a temper."
Tsunade snorted "well it's time you returned to the preliminaries before you're called." She gave him a little push "go on."
He frowned at her "are you sure?"
"Go, gaki. Anything else can wait until afterwards. I think Gai wants to see his student. I can handle anything else."
Naruto nodded and used the Spectral Jump then an Substitution Jutsu to replace his clone. At this the others nodded to him firmly then nodded towards the arena.
He was just in time to see his mate and Skulk Sister about to fight, against Neji of all people.
What followed was Neji trying to use emotional blackmail to pressure his cousin into letting him win, anything from going on about HIS side of the clan being slaves, to confident statements how 'the fates' deemed he'd win, all the while attacking her.
Hinata remained silent and blank throughout, merely avoiding each blow or attack, biding her time. This was one of the things Kain had taught them. Just watch and wait your opportunity, let the competition wear themselves out mentally and physically, then strike when the time is right.
After a while Neji seemed to figure out his tactics weren't working because he stopped attacking, circling Hinata like a wolf and instead concentrated on his words.
Again nothing.
No matter what he tried his cousin wouldn't react.
Finally tired of being ignored he cried "eight-palmed strike!" and ran at her.
From his spot Naruto saw Hinata look up at him. Knowing what she was asking he nodded firmly, seriously.
When her cousin was a few steps from her, Hinata went into sudden action. She went into hand signs and cried out "water style-water jutsu, furious whirlpool!"
Immediately seeing something spring up before him, Neji skidded and tried to stop, only for the furiously spinning tornado of water to snatch him up. While he tried desperately to either slow or stop his spin, Hinata went on "water style-water jutsu, chakra blades of pain!"
Outside the twister and surrounding the whirlpool appeared at least fifty blades, kunai's made of water. Neji's eyes widened as with an downwards motion of her hand ALL the blades pierced the twister, heading straight for the Hyuuga. Drawing his own kunai Neji found himself not only trying to control his momentum inside but defend himself against at least fifty blades. At first he thought as water they could not harm him, but as the blades struck his, the force of the impact would affect his direction in the water and when one bit into his left thigh he not only felt it, but he felt that leg go numb.
His eyes widened. He had become convinced his cousin was no ninja, that becoming wife of that damned kid and the next lady Namikaze had 'softened' her. Yet here he was, leg (he cursed when another bit into his right shoulder) numb and fighting to keep the blades from striking his vital points.
The fact his cousin was actually aiming for his vital points showed he had seriously underestimated her ruthlessness. She was purposely aiming for his tenketsu points. She seemed to be experimenting with using her own chakra in the form of water blades of chakra to attack an enemy AT A DISTANCE without the risk of closed combat. It was clever and showed she was refining Hyuuga jutsus.
The next thing Neji knew, Hinata was going through signs again "water style-water jutsu, thousand blades of death!"
Around him thousands of kunai appeared, all aimed at him, all threatening his life.
Before he could even widen his eyes the blades were swooping in. And behind them came shuriken, then swords of various types.
With an supreme effort Neji freed himself from the twister and deflect the blades and even though they followed him, seeking his body, Neji raced towards her. If he could knock her out....
Naruto grinned sardonically from his position, knowing what she was planning.
Once he was close enough to strike her, Hinata acted. There was an loud 'THUNK'' and the Hyuuga found himself head-first into a wall with no choice but to loose consciousness at the force of the impact.
So he didn't see the effect of the cousin he had mocked so badly.
In the ring Hinata hovered over the floor, alighting gently back on the ground as her wings flapped slowly.
Spread to their full extent the huge black wings shimmered in the light. The center colored pinions seemed to move on their own, shimmering flame in the middle of an background of night and not a single noise or word, not a breathe could be heard as every single being looked at the angel in the ring in awe and admiration.
There was a slow gulp, an a voice called out "umm, proctor?"
The crowd jerked to attention and Gekko coughed before announcing "winner, Hinata HyuugaUzumaki!"
The crowd cheered as Hinata smiled shyly, her wings snapping behind her to disappear under her hedge-appearing to just disappear as she gracefully walked back to her 'brothers' and their teammates, cuddling into Naruto's side.
Lastly was the the match everyone was waiting for.
Naruto Vs Kiba.
The two friends grinned and moved to the floor together. They continued to grin as they faced each other. While Gekko prepared to start it.
"All out?" Kiba grinned.
"Why not?" he answered.
When the proctor signaled, both boys moved.......
