Chapter 201

The two fighters eyed each other as Genma stood between them. Naruto was back in a spare set of clothes that he always kept on hand. A pair of blue pants, blue sleeveless formfitting shirt with Bandages wrapped around his ankles and arms. A bracer on his left arm and his gauntlet on his right with a set of black gloves covering his hands since his orange ones had met an unfortunate accident. He was not wearing a cloak for this battle, knowing it would most likely be destroyed.

"So, should we set any rules for this engagement?" asked Naruto as he rolled his shoulders in an attempt to keep them loose. While he was looking forward to this fight, he was feeling pretty tired and not at all sure how well he would do. Yugito was not only a Jinchurikki who had full control over her Bijuu, but technically a jonin level kunoichi even without its powers. And while Naruto himself was no slouch, he just wasn't at that level quite yet even when he was at his best.

Though he had no intention of giving up without a fight.

Yugito looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding, "no Jinchurikki powers for this battle. The last thing we need is to utterly destroy the stadium. Today it will all be about skill."

Naruto nodded, "Very well." He smiled. "I've actually been hoping we would get to fight."

"Oh?" Yugito gave him a racy grin. "Looking forward to fighting against someone as beautiful as me?"

Having talked with Yugito and dealt with her personality enough he now had an idea on how to respond, and so not missing a beat he said, "Well I was really just hoping that this spar would give me an excuse to get rid of your clothes." the spiky haired blond gave the female Jinchurikki a cheeky grin as she blushed, Heh, I think I'm getting the hang of this whole flirting scene. "With all the jutsu that will be flying around it would be rather easy to accidentally destroy them."

"And you called me a perv," Yugito shot back, giving a smirk after she had gotten her blush under control.

"I take it both fighters are ready?" Genma mumbled a bit, trying to get the pair back on track.

"You know I am," Yugito got into a taijutsu stance.

"I've been ready since I got here," Naruto slid into his own stance. "And maybe after this I can finally get some fucking sleep," he looked at Yugito and grinned, "care to join me when I do?"

Yugito smirked, "maybe if you win."

"Hajime!"

Almost as soon as the fight started Yugito shot towards Naruto, who had thrown several shuriken and began doing a set of hand seals. "Shuriken Kage Bushin No Jutsu!" the group of five shuriken multiplied into fifty, however Yugito used her cat like agility and reflexes to weave between them all without slowing down.

When she got within range of Naruto she lashed out with a claw swipe. Naruto went in to block the attack, however the moment the hit connected Yugito grabbed his fore arm and tossed him over her shoulder. Not one to be outdone so easily he began doing another set of hand seals as he flipped around. Landing on the ground he thrust out his hands, "Fuuton: Kamikaze Seiken!"

Yugito merely grinned as she did her own hand seals, "Katon: Karyu Endan (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Missile)!" She took a deep breath before breathing out a stream of fire that overtook his wind jutsu, making the jutsu expand as it came towards Naruto.

"Oh fuck me," Naruto cursed as the flames made contact with him, expanding even more as it overtook him. Yugito looked up when the technique ended to see the burnt remains of a log. Knowing he was still around she went back into a stance and began to search the area wearily. However there was no sign of the younger blond, making her frown right before a pair of hands latched onto her leg.

Yugito's eyes widened as Naruto shot up from the ground, unable to move because of the clone holding onto her Yugito got hit. However the reaction one would expect of a person getting hit did not happen here, instead the blond female exploded in a burst of lightning as soon as Naruto's fist made contact, sending said genin rocketing back. Naruto grunted a bit as he hit the ground, forcing his body to move despite the electric current that was running through his body. Looking up he was forced to roll out of the way as Yugito came in and smashed into the spot where he had been standing.

Naruto pushed himself into a series of flips as he moved away from Yugito. Stopping several feet away Naruto reached into his left pouch and brought out a scroll, which he unrolled and channeled chakra into. A torrent of water shot out and Naruto began to make several hand seals. "Suiton: Suiryuu No Kiba (Water Release: Water Dragon Claw)!" A decent sized Dragon formed out of the water, roaring ferociously as it threw a clawed hand at Yugito. However right as it hit, said woman phased out of existence revealing it to have been nothing more than an after image.

She appeared right next to Naruto, smashing two fists into his ribs. The whiskered blond grunted as he got the wind knocked out of him, but still managed to block the next attack. The taijutsu battle that ensued afterwards was fast and furious. Yugito used a mixture of striking at weak points, as well as claw swipes and grappling techniques to go with her fluid movement and flexibility. Her strikes were almost too fast for Naruto to keep up with, and more often than not he had ended up getting hit.
