'This should be interesting... I am not really putting my hopes on Sasuke, so i hope that Gaara will give me a good fight'
[Kit, if he loses control and Shukaku goes out, beat him up]
'Sure... why not?'
Naruto walks down after the rest time was over.
"Yo Gaara, how's it going? how is Temari and Uglyfaced?" Asks Naruto while waving at Gaara.
"They are fine..." Gaara is not the best when it comes to communication.
"Ready? Start!" Again, the proctor goes away so fast that you would think he has a swift release or something...
As soon as the match starts, a lot of sand emerges from the cracks in the arena ( that someone made while fighting and acting cool ) they turn in Naruto's direction and start to form various shapes, like kunais, shurikens, senbons, and things like that.
As the barrage of sand weapons approaches Naruto, he is not idling. As soon as the sand reaches a good distance Naruto mutters as he makes a hand seal.
"Scorch release:Rengoku no honō" Flames that seemed alive are thrown in the sand, turning most of it to glass in a wave shape.
The flames move on to attack Gaara but they only hit a sand clone. Gaara hid himself behind a tree as he moves sand at a distance to attack Naruto.
Naruto dodges all of the sand attacks like he is dancing, a certain flow in his movements attract the attention of the spectators, this movement technique was taught to him by the snow foxes, as they are the closest to water in the fox realm.
The name is Flowing fist, he can't use the offensive part of it since he needs his Kyugan to use it in battle, the constant movement and flowing atack and defense makes it impossible to be executed without a dojutsu or a incredible perception, Naruto still needs to train more to use it without his Kyugan. The movements can be described like water, flowing, never stoping, weaving in between attacks with high precision, thus making it look like a dance, a minuscule amount of chakra on his fingertips created a blue glow, giving even more beauty to each of Naruto's moves. (Like water stream rock smashing fist from OPM)
But Naruto is not a person who just dodges and defends, that is proved as he jumps backwards from a wave of sand and points his finger to Gaara's hiding spot.
"Kido number 4: Byakurai"
Gaara sensing the danger, even though he never felt danger before, barely dodges the blue lighting bolt.
Now you may ask, how did Naruto learn Kido? well obviously it was Uzuryu who taught him. As for why he can use it without a chant? when you use 1000 clones to pratice for 1 month, that seems to be normal.
Gaara decided to stop testing the waters and went out in the offensive. Creating dozens of sand shurikens he launched them as he also moved sand behind Naruto, trying to trap him
"That's a smart move, but your sand is too slow..." Before Naruto had even finished his words he appeared besides Gaara, punching him with enough strength to not knock him out. Naruto just forgot one little detail... Gaara was never hit before because of the sand, so his pain tolerance is null...
As Gaara started to loose conscious Naruto shot a chain in his direction, mostly to stop Shukaku from emerging.
Well but a certain 'Kazekage' didn't like it... Orochimaru seeing that Sasuke would not end up fighting Gaara, decided to start the invasion anyway, Kabuto used a genjutsu to try to make everyone fall asleep. Keyword being try. as people with pathetic chakra amounts (Sakura), good mental strength (Shikamaru), good enough chakra control (Almost everyone of the rookie 9) or a dojutsu (Sasuke, Ikki and Hinata) broke it easily, not counting that all the jonins were basically immune to such spread out genjutsu... Gaara was almost being chained but the genjutsu made him sleep, so Shukaku decided to be annoying again, as he was fighting Gaara for control, Temari and Kankuro picked the semi-conscious Gaara and ran away, Naruto soon followed after, but first he made 500 clones to help konoha... and steal some things as well...
One of Naruto's clones saw the leading figure of kusagakure asleep in the genjutsu
'They did so much horrible things to Karin and her mother...'
The clone transformed into a sound nin and using a LOT of explosive seals he went for a kamikaze attack, as soon as the seals exploded, some people looked at the direction of the sound, just to regret it right after, destroyed bodies, and a really gory scene that could have made Naruto puke if he saw it, that's why his clone exploded himself as well.
Naruto and his clones didn't notice that two people noticed it was him, but even if he did, he would pay no mind to it as there is only two people in Konoha right now that can sense him... and one person would never say anything to the death of the leader of the people who mistreated her and her mother, and the other saw Zabuza do worst before, that and the blood would help her in this fight...(Ikki can sense it's him because of her ketsuryugan sensing his blood, even though shadow clones have no blood, she can notice its Naruto because of her familiarity with his chakra)
Naruto's clones started helping everyone they could, well helping defeat the enemy that is, he is not a saint like OG Naruto and will never go out of his way to save the villagers that mistreated him. He will not go out of his way to harm them either, only the ones that caused this, like Danzo.
In the middle of the confusion no one noticed some figures entering some clans important places, as everyone was busy.
Back with Naruto's main body he was following the sand trio.
'Man how useless can Shukaku be? just get out already!' Naruto almost screamed in his mind, making Kurama smirk at his remark.
As if to answer him, Shukaku gor out and almost killed Kankuro, but Naruto saved him. Using flash step to get him away from Gaara he did the same to Temari, but it was obvious that he was trying to annoy Kankuro even at a time like this.
"Are you okay Uglyface? what about you Temari? leave Gaara to me, i will help him regain control but you two should be ready to take him and run or konoha will try to capture you two." Kankuro almost screamed at Naruto calling him names at a time like this, but wisely shut his mouth. The 2 sand nins were really surprised, not by Naruto's words, but because he completely ignored that they attacked konoha and was acting as if he was just helping some friends.
Gaara had half of his body completely covered in sand, Shukaku's eyes were visible as he almost got the control, but Naruto not bound by the rules of anime, was not going to let a enemy finish his transformation.
Naruto points both of his hands towards Gaara and says
"Bakudo number 4: Hainawa" A rope made of pure reiatsu shots from his hand, it slither around Gaara as if it was a snake, and binds him.
The binding doesn't do much though, as Shukaku sends a wave of sand trying to catch Naruto and crush him, but he dodged it by jumping backwards, Gaara's control faltered and Shukaku started to form his final for- i mean, full form, A giant sand ... racoon? or something that looks like one? ... made his appearance, destroying the rope and scaring all the konoha nins...
Kakashi saw Shukaku and knowing that Naruto went in that direction he could only ask himself
'Can he even deal with that?' he clearly forgot Naruto's battle with Lee...
Shukaku who appeared in his full form began laughing like a complete idiot.
'Kurama... is he really your brother?' Naruto with a questioning tone asked Kurama
[...] Kurama had no words, even though Shukaku should be crazy, it should not be at this level...
Ignoring Shukaku's crazy laughter, Naruto activates his Kyugan and also his 1 tailed chakra cloak.
Shukaku seeing this stoped acting like a complete idiot and started to launch wind pressure spheres at Naruto.
'Don't tell me he is so useless he can't even use a bijuudama?' Naruto questioned Kurama who once again, decided to not waste his words explaining just how useless Shukaku can be...
Naruto dodged left and right and once again was surprised by Shukaku not using any strategy against him...
"That's so boring... he fight worse than a kid! even Sasuke can fight better than him!"
[Damn Kit, that's harsh...]
'well maybe i went a little too dar on that one...]
Shukaku as if triggered by Naruto's comment (Who wouldn't?), decides to surprise everyone... Using the attack that EVERY BIJUU can use, the bijuudama.
As the mass of chakra forms in front of Shukaku's mouth Naruto surprised asks Kurama
'Does that mean he isn't as useless as we thought, but just dumber?'
[...]
Naruto looks at konoha's direction and has an idea.
As soon as Shukaku finished forming the bijuudama, Naruto made a clone and suppressed his chakra so Shukaku would end up shooting the bijuudama at the clone, and aligned the clone and the barrier that was holding the fight between Orochimaru and Hiruzen.
Shukaku does exactly that, and ends up hitting the barrier, and smashing it, as the bijuudama continues to move towards the village, Naruto jumps in front of it and scream with all of his might
"I WILL NOT LET YOU DESTROY KONOHA"
[Pffft, i almost believed that you wanted to save this village]
'Shut up will you? i need to create a big scene so no one will link me to the mass thief that will happen in some clans'
[...But you still sounded like an idiot]
'... I know...'
Naruto directly enter his 5 tails chakra cloak, and using a chakra arm with his chains as well, he holds the bijuudama in place, while his chains slowly absorbed its chakra, Everyone in konoha saw Naruto defending them, and as the hypocrites they are, started cheering for him... the hypocrisy on the air was so abundant that Naruto could almost touch it.
As soon as the bijuudama 'lost its power' Naruto jumped right back at Shukaku, while sending another 100 clones to help around konoha.
Naruto, not wasting time, threw a kunai at Gaara, who was hanging on Shukaku's forehead, Shukaku blocks it with sand, but then Naruto teleports using his hiraishin, he appears in front if Gaara and hit him.
"Supreme ninja art: Bi*** slap" Naruto's attack almost shattered reality itself.
Gaara woke up, and looked really confused for a second.
Naruto looks at him for a second and then speaks
"Cliffhanger no jutsu"
"What?" Gaara asks confused, but the jutsu was already active...
