'Sigh… This will be so troublesome…' I thought as I looked at the girl opposite me.
She was seething from that little bit of provocation…
Seriously, was she really trained for a whole year longer than us? I wasn't really sure.
But whatever. It's better to keep up the facade so that it can be an easy win.
Man… I really hate Mitsu… At least, he gave me someone who is easy to anger.
I decided to continue on with the strategy, so I sighed loudly while rubbing the back of my neck as I said in a dead tone, "Sigh… Troublesome… Let's just get this over with…"
And, it worked like a charm.
Seriously, angering a girl is easier than angering an Inuzuka.
I could see the girl trying to burn me with her eyes… What intense glare… This Tintin girl sure was troublesome.
"Match Start!" Fuse-san declared the match to start.
And instantly, I saw 10 Kunais being thrown at me.
All I can say about that was… Slow… Too slow…
But I better act otherwise.
I dodged the Kunais, but made it look like it was damn hard for me. And apparently, my acting worked. If seeing that smirk on the Tintin girl's face was any indication.
Man, I might really be up for that Oscar thing Mitsu keeps talking about. Even though I have no idea what that is.
Seeing me having an issue with dodging her Kunais, she increased the quantity of her throwing weapons.
That was my target all along. I knew for a fact that she had thousands of throwing weapons in her scroll, and if she wants to waste her energy and chakra by throwing them, then she can be my guest.
So, I started dodging and occasionally sending a few Kunai's toward her as I slowly but subtly made my way towards the giant ass tree that Mitsu made.
I mean, come on… Who in their right mind makes a Giant Ass tree spawn to show off and then deliver a moving speech to the sheep…
Mitsu…
The answer is Mitsu.
Sigh… Troublesome.
I noticed that the girl was frowning at me.
Was she thinking this through?
No, we can't have that.
"Oi, Tintin! Can you not throw your trash at me? You know it's unladylike and rude. And how many weapons do you even have? Don't tell me you will be throwing cooking pans and woks at me next. Don't you need those for cooking?" I asked her in a bored tone.
But it did what it was intended for.
The first part made her angry again.
And the second part… made all the girls angry. Well, whatever.
"TENTEN-SAN! BEAT HIM UP FOR ME!"
"YEAH BEAT THAT SNOT-NOSED BRAT!"
"WE SUPPORT YOU TENTEN!"
The whole female population was shouting for my head.
And, it was glorious.
I checked the weapon littered ground and saw that the sun was almost at the right angle for my plan.
It was almost 11:25 am, and the shadow cast by the weapons was enough for my shadow to connect, and yet not large enough to make people feel suspicious.
Almost done.
I noticed that I was near the tree and jumped on it as I dodged 2 Fuma Shurikens.
I mean seriously… How many weapons does she have? The amount she threw at me would cost a small fortune.
But something surprised me.
The shuriken just bounced off the tree.
The actual hell?
Mitsu… What the hell is this tree? It didn't even get a scratch.
I shook my head and decided not to dwell on crazy, and jumped to one of the branches.
I could see that the Tintin girl also noticed the peculiarity of the tree and took some distance from it.
I raised an eyebrow, doing my best to look surprised.
Because I was sure she was going to brag about seeing through my plan of using the tree shade to bind her.
And, 3, 2…
"Heh! Did you think I haven't researched about the Nara clan? I know for a fact that you were luring me under the shade to get your Jutsu to work." She started explaining with a smug face.
'Yes, good girl. Keep explaining my evil little plan to me. Just 3 seconds more.' I did my best not to smile.
She continued, "I don't mind staying out here. Let's see how long you can stay there. I will just recycle my weapons and keep throwing them!"
And… DONE!
I smirked this time.
And I could see that she was looking at me surprised.
"Well, good luck with that. But I win."
"Wh-what?" She asked in disbelief.
I simply shrugged and stated, "Why don't you try to move?"
She did try to move, only for her to keep standing paralyzed.
"H-how?" She asked in disbelief.
"How? Well, my
"YOU DIDN'T EVEN MAKE A HAND SIGN!" She shouted in horror.
"Huh? Oh… some self-righteous prick made me learn at least one of my family's jutsu without hand seals… I tell you… It was a pain in the ass. But, worth it I guess." I said with a sigh…
And what a pain it was…
Remembering how Mitsu trained me with that…
*Shiver*
I couldn't help but shiver.
But oh well, let's just end this.
"Anyway, thank you for the easy win. I would forfeit to not fight the next troublesome battle… But, Mitsu will probably throw me off a cliff… So yeah… Bye-bye." Saying so I made a hand seal for
And before Tintin could say anything, she was covered in my bindings till she passed out.
The whole stadium was silent.
"Winner of the fourth match. Nara Shikamaru!" Fuse-san announced with his usual bored tone.
And.
"BOOOOOO!"
A series of Boos broke out through the stadium.
Well… Tough crowd… I need a nap.

After Shikamaru and Tenten's match. It was a match between Uchiha Sasuke and the Kiri Genin named Hori.
It was more of an Uchiha skill show than a real fight.
As Sasuke showed off his Bukijutsu, speed, and Taijutsu, without even using Sharingan to beat his opponent to move on to the next round.
Soon, it was time for the Sixth Match.
"Hyuga Neji Vs Akimichi Choji. Now begins!" Fuse announced.
On one side was Neji in his classic Hyuga stance. On the other side stood Choji with his Morningstar attached to a Bo Staff.
Choji was also adorned in armor and had a determined look.
It was then Neji spoke, "Give up. It's my fate to win here today. And someone like you can't possibly match me. I admit, there are some of you that are highly qualified. But you are not one of them."
But Choji didn't answer him and instead started making hand signs.
And to everyone's surprise, it was an earth release Jutsu,
"
Turning the ground around Neji into a swamp that was trying to pull him in.
Choji was sure that Neji was too proud to dodge his Jutsu, and it was as such in reality too.
Choji's main idea was to restrict Neji's movement, as he knew that Neji doesn't know any long-range Jutsu's to make it a problem for him.
And as long as Neji couldn't move properly, he had many ways to take care of him.
But alas!
"Hmph! You think a Jutsu of this caliber can stop me? Then bear witness! I wasn't going to show this technique so early. But you leave me no choice!
And a sphere of chakra from his tanketsu points came out in gushes and rapidly moved in a sphere literally dispelling Choji's Jutsu.
…
"HOW! THAT TRAITOR! HOW DID HE LEARN THAT?" Asked one of the Hyuga elders in the Clan VIP box.
"Hiashi-sama, did you teach Neji that?" Another Hyuga asked.
Everyone was surprised. After all, they should be. Because only the clan head and the clan heir were taught that technique. And the only one that currently knew that technique in the Hyuga clan was 1 of the elders, Hiashi, Hinata, and Hanabi. Even though Hanabi was only learning it, she couldn't use it yet.
"No. I did not teach him that Jutsu." Hiashi calmly said.
"Was it Hinata-sama? Why would she do that?" One of the elders asked.
"No. Hinata wouldn't teach Neji, and I am sure she didn't. Because if she did, she would've told me. And you all know that Hinata uses her own creations over our techniques." Hiashi stated.
This shut everyone up.
Because only the top brass of the Hyuga knew of the current Hinata's prowess. She with Mitsu's help has created 5 new Gentle Fist arts, 2 Eight Trigrams art, and her new style, the Gentle Touch.
"Then… Does that mean Neji has learned it on his own?" Even the elder didn't believe his own words.
"Is that even possible?" Someone else asked.
"We are witnessing it. Witnessing is believing." Hiashi said with a small smile tugging his lips.
…
*FWOOSH*
With a gush of air, Neji came into view as he stood at the same place as if nothing happened.
Choji frowned at that.
He has sparred against Hinata and knew of the technique. And he also knew how strong that technique was.
'It seems… I will have to use that… There is no point in fighting directly. I am no match for a Hyuga's Taijutsu. So, let's hope for the best.' Choji thought as he took out a new pill that he and Mitsu formulated.
He looked at the red pill and remembered Mitsu's warning.
~*Small Flashback no Jutsu*~
It was the day, Mitsu and Choji were supposed to train one-on-one.
Every one of the rookie 8 got such a day. Well, except Hinata. She got more than a few.
And that day, Mitsu helped Choji develop a new pill.
"Once you take the pill, there are two things you need to be aware of…" Mitsu looked at Choji gravely.
Choji couldn't help but gulp at the sight of Mitsu's serious face.
"Wh-what things, Mitsu?" He asked him nervously.
"First, this pill will boil your Yang Chakra and induce a short while of enhanced strength, speed, and senses. It will also make you slightly berserk and prone to anger." He stated.
Choji thought it over and nodded. It was similar to one of the Akimichi Pills.
"Wh-what is the second thing?" Choji asked determinedly.
Mitsu didn't answer directly and kept staring at him. Choji was getting unnerved when Mitsu smiled and said,
"Oh, it's nothing much really… Just make sure to carry a gas mask that can survive you through a chemical war! Well, Ja ne~"
Saying so, Mitsu laughed and walked out, leaving behind a dumbfounded Choji.
~*Smol Flashback no Jutsu loses Chakra*~
Remembering that conversation, Choji gulped once before a determined look came over him.
He took the pill in his mouth, before taking out a gas mask.
As he put his mask on, he addressed Neji, who hadn't moved from his spot, acting superior.
"I will just say, I am sorry, Neji-san. It's nothing personal." Choji actually looked apologetic.
"Hmph! None of your small tricks will work. In front of Fate, you WILL lose." Neji took a stance and was ready to show the world.
"Well… I am sorry nonetheless." Choji muttered, as his face and body started turning red.
He could feel incredible strength coursing through his body. He felt like he could crush boulders with his hands, and… felt his stomach protesting.
"RAAAAAAAAGHHHH" Giving a war cry, he rushed at Neji like a madman swinging his staff-fused-morning star around like a berserker.
Neji was ready for him and started using Gentle Fist style to block the hits as best he could.
He has trained with Rock Lee after all, so the new speed Choji was showing was nothing special. He was used to this speed. After all, Lee could reach that speed without even taking his weights off.
The battle raged on, the two seemed quiet even when suddenly… Neji flinched and got punched away.
The whole crowd was surprised at that. Because the whole time it seemed as if Neji was in control.
Everyone looked at each other and tried to know what happened.
But no one could give an answer.
…
"Why did the Hyuga boy suddenly flinch?" Onoki asked intrigued.
"I… don't know." Tsunade was trying to figure it out as well.
"Do you think it had something to do with his apology earlier?" Mei asked with a raised brow.
"Possibly…" Tsunade answered.
…
Choji didn't press his attacks and instead was trying to control himself.
Everyone looked at where Neji had fallen and saw him slowly stand up holding his hand over his nose and mouth.
'I thought he was punched in the gut… Why is he holding his mouth?' That was everyone's question.
In the gallery, Guy looked serious and asked Asuma, "Is that some new Youthful technique you taught young Choji?"
Asuma himself looked embarrassed.
He, of course, knew about his student's techniques and such. But, he too had no idea about the pill that Mitsu and Choji developed, so he could only say, "It's probably a new clan Jutsu."
Everyone nodded at that, as they knew better than to question on clan Jutsu's.
Back in the arena,
Neji was livid.
He shouted while covering his mouth, "What kind of poison is this? Did you develop it to fight Beasts?"
Choji didn't answer and rushed again.
Neji was actually scared, so he held his breath and prepared another revolving heaven, but right then another bout of even more potent odor hit him and he almost vomited.
Lucky for him, he was again blasted away by a punch.
'No, I can't take this. I need to end this NOW!' Neji thought and prepared to use all his power in
Holding his breath with a determined look he started,
"Two Palms."
Quickly connecting to Choji's stomach. 'Oh no..' Choji thought as the hit started creating a new problem for him.
"Four Palms."
"Eight Palms."
'I can't hold it in much longer. No. NO. NOOOOO!' Choji shouted inside his head.
"Sixteen Palms."
This made Choji see red. 'Must find… TOILET!'
"Thirt-…."
Before Neji could finish his thirty-two palms, he was blasted away by a hit of the Bo staff as Choji made a loud War Cry blasting him away in to the wall.
*Crack*
That almost knocked Neji out.
'Impossible… Am I going to lose?' Neji thought in horror.
He was waiting for his opponent to rush him in a frenzy and beat him down… He accepted his fate.
'Was I truly a fool? Was fate really wrong…?' He started questioning himself as he waited for his opponent.
'Maybe… If someone like the Akimichi and Inuzuka can become strong enough to give me trouble and even beat me… Then I might have truly been wrong… I guess… it is okay to lose…' Neji had a small smile on his face, as he closed his eyes to hear the announcement…
He was so beaten that he couldn't even feel if he would get hit.
"Winner of the sixth match… By forfeit… Hyuga Neji… Akimichi Choji seems to have left the premises in a rush."
"Wait what?" That was all Neji could say before darkness took him…
…
A few moments earlier~
Choji broke through the famous
It was surely not from the Bo Staff breaking, as it was still intact. So, people winched when they thought it might be from Neji's ribs cracking.
And once the Hyuga was plastered into the wall, everyone was sure that Choji had won.
Only for Choji to surprise everyone, as he shouted loudly to the sky and rushed towards the wall.
People closed their eyes as they thought Choji was going to beat the Hyuga even more in revenge…
But…
That never came.
As Choji ran straight through the exit into the stadium facilities.
Leaving everyone tongue-tied…
*Silence*
Half the people didn't understand what happened. The other half was still covering their eyes hoping to avoid a brutal beat down.
The silence was finally broken by Fuse's awkward announcement.
"Winner of the sixth match… By forfeit… Hyuga Neji… Akimichi Choji seems to have evacuated the premises in a rush."
