Naruto: Winds and Changes

Sasuke stuck his hands back into his pocket and walked back up the stairs where his teammates were.

"You stole that move from Lee," Naruto accused.

"Hn. I did what I had to. That move was useful, so I figured I could learn it," Sasuke said, feeling the need to defend himself against Naruto's accusing eyes.

Naruto glared at Sasuke, "You took it without his permission and used it in a move of your own. That's a blatant sign that you don't respect others for their hard work. Lee put a lot of effort into learning those moves, and for you to just copy them shows you don't appreciate just how powerful they are."

For some reason when Naruto said that Sasuke winced. He would not admit it, but that kind of accusation actually stung. "Whatever," He tried to play it off.

Naruto scowled a bit but decided not to comment on it further as two more names appeared on the board.

Yamanaka Ino vs. Higarashi Tenten

"Good luck Ten-chan!" Naruto called out as Tenten walked down the stairs.

Tenten was glad that she was not facing Naruto or he would have seen the blush on her face. Several of the girls did notice however and scowled.

"Yosh! Tenten, show them your flames of youth!" Gai cried out.

"Let your youth burn brightly!" Lee shouted in enthusiasm.

Tenten blushed even deeper, not sure what was worse, having Naruto cheer for her or having her green spandex clad teammate and sensei cheer her on. Well I suppose Naruto-kun's cheering is not so bad. But do Lee and Gai-sensei really have to be so loud?

"Are both fighters ready?" asked Hayate as soon as the two got onto the stadium floor. When they both signaled readiness Hayate nodded, "Hajime!"

Ino threw some shuriken as soon as the battle started before running at Tenten. Said weapons expert sighed as the weapons came out her. She began to dodge the weapons with ease and to the shock of Ino, grabbed onto several of the shuriken before tossing them back.

Ino's eyes widened as two shuriken managed to graze her arms, and bit back a yelp of pain.

"If you're going to use such a basic tactic against me then you might as well quit," Tenten stated in a bored tone. "It's obvious from the lack of muscles on your body and the fact that you look like a twig that would snap if a breeze hit it, that you were nothing more than a fan girl at the academy."

Ino scowled, "Shut up! I'll show you!" She ran at Tenten who merely sighed in disappointment. The moment Ino got within two feet of Tenten, said girl leapt into the air and spun around.

"Konoha Senpuu!" Tenten smashed a kick right in Ino's face, sending the girl flying back several feet where she landed on her back and gasped as the air was knocked out of her, "With such weak skills you should just give up now."

"I-I'm not done yet!" Ino said as she struggled to get up.

"You know your teammate is gonna get her ass kicked right?" Naruto said as he made his way over to Team Ten. "Badly, I might add. Ten-chan utterly despises fan girls like her."

"Now I think that's being a little unfair," Asuma said as he took a drag of his cigarette. "Ino has a few tricks up her sleeve."

"You mean the Shintenshin No Jutsu?" asked Naruto before shaking his head. "That jutsu requires the person she is aiming for to stand still, and if it doesn't hit her soul will be stuck outside of her body until it hits something and bounces back. Besides, Ten-chan could have ended this a long time ago if she had used her weapons since that's what she specializes in. Also, you're forgetting that she was trained by Gai-sensei."

Asuma shivered a bit, "You do…make a valid point there."

"How do you know so much about that girl?" asked Shikamaru. He actually agreed with Naruto, there was no way Ino would win this, and for all the reasons the blond gave.

Naruto grinned, "I've been training with Ten-chan and her team since I became a Genin. Every other day after missions and team training with my own, I go over to training ground nine and train with her and Lee."

Shikamaru nodded and a part of him wondered if this was why the whiskered bond seemed so much better than he had been in the academy; though he was positive there was more to this than just that.

"Shintenshin No Jutsu!"

The pair snapped their attention back to the battle as Ino called out the one clan jutsu she knew. However it didn't matter since Tenten had already moved from the spot Ino had been aiming for. When the girl slumped down Tenten merely placed a kunai at her neck and waited for the blond girl to come to. When she did it was to see the bun haired girl in position to slit her throat.

"Yield," Tenten ordered.

"I…fine," Ino huffed in disappointment.

Hayate coughed as the match ended, "Shousa Higarashi Tenten!"

Tenten grinned as she made her way back up the stairs. She was stopped as Naruto stepped in front of her and gave her a grin.

"Nice job, you really kicked her ass."

Tenten blushed a bit but smile back, "Thanks Naruto-kun."

"Yosh! Tenten that was a most youthful match!" Gai said, giving the bun haired girl the nice guy pose.

"You truly showed your flames of youth Tenten!" Lee matched his mentor's pose.

"Uh… thanks you two," Tenten sweatdropped as she decided to keep Naruto between herself and her team.

Sabaku No Kankurou vs. Tsurugi Misumi

"Oh look it's make up boy coming up to fight," Naruto said, loudly.

Kankurou stopped and glared at him, "Damn it, I told you it's WAR PAINT!"

Naruto snickered, "Yeah, war paint that you probably stole from your sister's make up drawer."

Kankurou saw red, "You stupid little brat! When I get done here I'm coming after you!"

Hayate coughed to get the attention of everyone so they could start the fight.

Naruto settled down, snickering occasionally as the fight started. Eventually he really started to watch the match; unfortunately this one went by fairly quickly, about two or three minutes all told. It seemed that Misumi guy was able to stretch his limbs to incredible length. He had managed to wrap his body around Kankurou and threatened to crush him if he did not yield.

Of course Kankurou just laughed at him and Misumi crushed his neck. Only to find out that Kankurou was in fact a puppet, surprising Naruto and others who had not known what the large mummified object on his back was.

After that Kankurou had come out of the bandages, showing that he had hidden himself inside of them and had been using chakra strings to control Karasu's movement. After that several spikes had stuck out of Karasu's body and impaled Misumi who was dead before he even hit the ground.

Inuzuka Kiba vs. Nii Yugito

"Alright Akamaru, it looks like we're up!" Kiba shouted as he forewent the stairs and just jumped off the railing.

Yugito merely walked at a more sedate pace, not really bothering to hurry things up. When she got down she saw Kiba leering at her and resisted the urge to hiss.

"Wow check this out Akamaru, we're facing a babe!" Kiba grinned lecherously, "Hey baby, how about after this you and I go out somewhere?"

Yugito grit her teeth, the only sign she was pissed by what the dog using Genin said as she replied in a cool tone, "No thanks, I don't date men who have a habit of not bathing."

"What was that!" Kiba growled, "Listen here you bitch, you should be glad someone like me asked you out!"

"I doubt anyone would be pleased to have such a lecherous pig who smells like wet dog ask them out," Yugito said in disdain.

"Wow Kurenai-san, I thought you would've beaten the pervert out of Kiba by now," Naruto said with a chuckle.

Kurenai scowled as she listened to her Genin speak, "I have tried, but it's more difficult than it looks."

"Well, can't be helped I suppose," Naruto shrugged. Kiba had always been something of a lecher, hitting on nearly every girl in class, much to their displeasure, "it's just who he is I guess…"

Naruto turned his attention back to the battle when he felt a massive killing intent being released from the blond woman. Naruto chuckled a bit. Oh she's pissed. Kiba never seems to learn; even I understand to never do that to a woman.

'Are you sure about that, you could've fooled me when we met,' Kyuubi's melodic voice entered his mind.
