Naruto: Winds and Changes

"I hope Naruto-kun win..." Hinata said. "I believe he will win."

"From what you told me of his match with Gaara there's no way he could lose," Kiba reassured the girl. "Anyone who can beat that monster isn't someone I want to mess with."

"Yosh! Show us your flames of youth!" Lee cheered as he looked between his two rivals. Since he was not sure who to cheer for, he decided on both of them.

"Lee, can't you ever just tone it down a bit?" asked Tenten.

"But if I were to do that, my youth would diminish Tenten-san," Lee said. "I cannot allow that to happen. In order to show people how to stoke their flames of youth, I must continue with my youthful encouragement!"

Tenten sighed at her teammate before turning back to the arena floor. She knew who she wanted to cheer for, but because it felt like betraying her teammate she only said it in her mind, Good luck Naruto-kun.

'This looks like it's going to be an interesting match eh kitten?'asked Nibi.

'It does, though I doubt the so-called Hyuuga prodigy will be able to defeat Naruto-kun,' Yugito commented as she turned her attention away from the loud shouts of Lee and back to the arena.

'So sure of your man are you?'

Yugito smirked, not really denying nor encouraging her tenant's claim, 'Of course he'll win. Naruto-kun is a lot stronger than he lets on.'

"The Hyuuga genius versus Uzumaki," The Kazekage said. "This is bound to be an interesting match. Anyone who can take on my son Gaara and win is definitely a strong shinobi."

"That he is," Sarutobi chuckled. "The boy has surprised me time and time again, and I suspect he will surprise me even more before the day is done."

"I had not realized there were any Uzumakis left," The Raikage said, as he gave an intent stare towards the hat wearing Genin. Many had forgotten the famed Uzumaki clan, a clan that had originated from Uzushiogakure No Saito (Village Hidden in the Whirlpool), which was located in the Uzu No Kuni (Land of Whirlpools). However A had remembered from his battles with them in the beginning of the Third Great War, just how fearsome they were with their special chakra and their powerful Fuuinjutsu.

If the young Uzumaki male was anything like his predecessors this would make for an interesting battle.

Sarutobi sighed, "From what I suspect, he is the last of his clan."

The Raikage looked over at Sarutobi before giving a nod and turning his attention back to the arena.

"I get the feeling this will be quite the battle," The Raikage said as he got more comfortable in his chair.

"Indeed," The Kazekage agreed with some amusement.

Show them what you can do Naruto-kun, Sarutobi looked at the boy, even though he could not see Naruto's face, he could feel the boy's confidence. Show the villagers how strong you've become and how wrong they are about you.

Genma looked up at Sarutobi to see the man nod. Nodding back he got started, "We will now start the first match! Uzumaki Naruto vs. Hyuuga Neji… Hajime!"

Once the words were out, Neji activated his Byakugan and slid into the Jyuuken style taijutsu stance. Naruto smirked as he took off his hat and threw it towards the wall where a Kage Bunshin was already there to catch it. He then moved into his own stance. As the two stared each other down, the crowd grew silent and watched with looks of excitement and curiosity. Not many knew about the young Uzumaki, but everyone had heard of the Hyuuga genius and was expecting to see how strong he really was.

Naruto let a grin take over his face as he felt his blood begin pumping; he felt adrenaline racing through his veins at the thought of a fight. 'Looks like this party's about to begin, eh Kyuu-chan?'

Within the seal Kyuubi smirked, summoning herself a bowl of…popcorn, how she was capable of creating food within the seal was something not even Naruto knew, which she began to munch on. 'So it does. I doubt you need it, but good luck Naruto-kun.'

'Thanks,' Naruto felt his blood begin to boil with excitement due to the coming battle. He was really going to enjoy pounding this prick into the ground. Time to get this party started.
