The Chuunin Exams Part 3

The scream that Uchiha Sasuke let out woke everyone in Konoha seeing as it was still terribly early in the morning with people not wanting to get out of bed due to being lazy, tired, had a hangover from getting drunk, etc.

Kakashi was ironically the first Shinobi on the scene though the fact that it was Sasuke who screamed may have been a factor due to the debt he owed Obito. When he saw the dead form of Uchiha Itachi pierced with his own sword on top of the old Uchiha Police Station, Kakashi looked horrified at seeing the sight. The Shinobi Cyclops now slightly pictured his dead teammate over Itachi only with Obito having his face half crushed in like that day so many years ago.

Soon more Shinobi came seeing the horrible sight before them until the Hokage herself appeared and saw with her own eyes that Uchiha Itachi was indeed dead as the Shikage claimed he was.

'But why reveal his dead body now? And in such a manner as this? A statement possibly that Sasuke will never get the chance to avenge the live of all his Uchiha brethren? Or is it something else?' thought Tsunade seeing the bloody symbol of the Shinigami face that was identification of a Shinigami Shinobi to further prove who did this to Itachi.

"You know he actually laughed at the prospect of Uchiha Sasuke becoming Hokage after you? After we unfrozen him in his near death state he was most agreeable in dying like the way he did," said Toshiro scaring the remaining tiredness out of Tsunade as well as got everyone else fully awake with Leaf Shinobi ready to fight the Shinigami ice user.

"How did you sneak up on me like that?" said Tsunade though she had to admit drinking heavily last night and waking up early were probable factors.

"Hey, it's not my fault that you are a legendary sucker when it comes to trying to sense the chakra signature of other people...just like you are at gambling," said Toshiro looking at Tsunade before turning his body and face back to Itachi's corpse folding his arms

"Show her some respect she's the Hokage here," said Ibiki having arrived to see the sight that was before him.

"Respect is earned not given," said Toshiro before yawning and started walking away only to be stopped when Tsunade called back to him for answers.

"Who did that to Itachi? Why?" said Tsunade hoping the man would at least answer her questions in the matter.

"Well if you must know...it was Shikage-sama himself. As for why? Ask him, he's right over there," said Toshiro now pointing to the tall figure in black covered robes with hood before taking off leaving a very agitated and angry Hokage.

She wasn't the only one as Sasuke was pissed beyond reason and activated his Sharingan his eyes held nearly unmatched fury knowing that this man had taken what was rightfully his! Itachi was his enemy not some robe covered freak of nature that just so happened to have the title of a Kage under his name having his village recognized as a major Shinobi Village. To Sasuke however, the man was nothing, but a joke in his eyes, taking what had been Sasuke's all reason for existence aside from reviving his clan. Something that the Uchiha Prodigy had intended to do with gusto with the Hyuuga bitch that would soon be his wife.

Tsunade could feel the young Uchiha's rage at the Shikage for taking away his purpose in life and wondered why the Death Shadow would even consider doing that knowing that Sasuke would wish to retaliate. It made no sense.

'Unless he plans to get something out of Sasuke knowing the baka would be out for his blood,' thought Tsunade, who looked on at the robed man staring intently at her and the furious Uchiha.

"I'LL KILL YOU! NO ONE TAKES MY PURPOSE IN LIFE AWAY FROM ME! NO ONE!" yelled Sasuke charging at the Shikage with his Sharingan Eyes spinning with fury wanting to tear that man apart with his own Uchiha made sword in his possession.

Kenpachi smiled under his hood and skull mask knowing this was the bait for the much larger trap that, if everything went his way, would save Hinata, AND take care of Sasuke.

As for the ever so angry Uchiha Sasuke, who leaped into the air to come down striking his weapon upon the Shikage, he would soon be in for a surprise. The said Death Shadow calmly opened his palm before forming an incomplete second stage Rasengan, dodged the sword strike from the attacking prodigy, and sent the second stage directly at Sasuke when he was close enough sending the Uchiha through the wall of the old police station.

"Itachi was right to laugh at the talk of Sasuke being the Sixth Hokage. What a joke he has become in my presence," said Kenpachi finding that this would be much better then for him and Kimimaro translate everything he wanted to say to them.

"I-I will...k-kill you. I...I m-must have...p-power," said Sasuke trying to get up despite the cuts and bruises covering his body before collapsing only to be caught by Kakashi.

"Once trash and always worse then trash," said Kenpachi walking up to the two now in a slow almost painfully suspenseful manner.

"Take another step and it will be your last!" said Kakashi readying his Lightning Blade to strike out at the Death Shadow with his Sharingan Eye exposed to use.

"Save your chakra fool. You are going to need it in training your stupid student for his fight in 2 weeks...against me!" said Kenpachi knowing that when Sasuke was once again conscious he would accept whatever terms were stated for what he had planned at the stadium in 2 weeks.

"W-What?" said Kakashi as the rest of the Leaf Shinobi and civilians were shocked by this sudden news.

"You heard me fool. I the Shikage of Shinigamigakure no Sato hereby challenge one Uchiha Sasuke to a fight at the Chuunin Exams in place of his original fight with one Hyuuga Hinata. IF your so called 'Uchiha Prodigy' wins against me, then Tsunade-sama must step down as Hokage right then and there to make him the new Sixth Fire Shadow of Konohagakure no Sato. However, if I win, Hyuuga Hinata will no longer have to be married to either Uchiha Sasuke or Inuzuka Kiba in that double marriage the Council setup." said Kenpachi looking into Kakashi's eyes grinning at the copycat man before looking at Tsunade, who was a little shocked at hearing such a challenge.

"And if you lose?" said Kakashi wanting to know the terms for the Shikage in losing the fight since there was always a penalty for failing.

"If I lose then I will...set myself on FIRE!" said Kenpachi knowing that when they all heard this the Council would jump at the chance believing that their precious Uchiha would save them from the big bad Shikage.

"You'll do what?" said Tsunade not believing this man would do this for one person's freedom such a horrible marriage without something in return.

"I think we all heard Shikage-sama correctly Hokage-sama. Our Death Shadow said he would set himself on fire...and breathe his last breath," said Kimimaro appearing beside his master to be another pair of eyes for the man in case any of the Shinobi around them got any "hero" type like ideas.

"And if Sasuke loses?" said Kakashi wondering what the stakes would be when it came to the welfare of the Uchiha Prodigy.

"If the Uchiha lives through our fight, he must NEVER revive his clan and must let his Sharingan Eye bloodline limit die with him," said Kenpachi knowing that Sakura was empty and Sasuke hadn't touch any girls or female transvestite's for that matter with his horrible Uchiha seed.

"Those terms are unacceptable!" said an ANBU Shinobi knowing the risks were too steep even if it would make the Uchiha the youngest Hokage in history.

"I thought you assholes were confident of your Uchiha Prodigy-teme? What's wrong you have a spine transplant with a shitty bitch chicken?" said Tayuya now appearing as well as the rest of the Death Four.

"Why don't we let the Uchiha decide," said Kenpachi knowing the teme would never back down from a fight that guaranteed him power beyond his wildest dreams and the title of the one who killed the Shodaime Shikage.

It was now that they realized by everyone that Sasuke had regained consciousness and was now looking at the Shikage with furious anger while weighing his options of what would happen if he won or lost. On one hand he could become the youngest Hokage in Konoha's history, on the other hand he would have to risk his clan should he lose not only with the woman of choice, but also reviving the Uchiha name altogether. Sasuke also knew that if he could win against the Shikage, the man would have no choice, but to kill himself in front of everyone in the entire stadium. Then the history books would say the one responsible for it would be Uchiha Sasuke: The Sixth Hokage and "Uchiha Hero" of Konoha that would surpass the Yondaime in that status.

"I accept," said Sasuke his face showing some form of psychotic expression as he looked up at the Shikage while several ANBU medics healed his wounds.

"Sasuke...," said Kakashi not sure his student was making the right choice in this since the Shikage as half his name stated was Kage and therefore extremely powerful.

"I know what I'm doing Kakashi-sensei. I can win against him," said Sasuke getting up and walked right up to the robed figure to prove he wasn't afraid or at least not afraid right now in front of an entire army of Leaf Shinobi that would give their lives for him.

"I'm so glad you have confidence in your abilities Uchiha-san for the only way to lose this fight is to make the other warrior bleed first," said the Shikage knowing that this little stipulation would make several people worried.

"What?" said Sasuke looking shocked at this little announcement.

"Shikage-sama considers this fight to be a 'First Blood' fight in which you can only win by making your opponent bleed first," said Kimimaro wondering just what possessed his lord and master to declare such a match though considering the opponent, the match now made was obvious done for the sport of it all.

"Why make such a fight like this?" said Tsunade wondering what kind of test this was since never heard of it.

"Shinobi must constantly risk their lives and are sometimes killed in one shot whether it's a sword, kunai, and/or Jutsu that causes the killing blow. If he cannot risk getting bloodied up during the Chuunin Exams then how can he become a strong Hokage in the near future," said Kenpachi making a valid point in the matter knowing the most precise shot from any weapon hitting just once could end your career or life as a Shinobi.

"It doesn't matter what type of fight it is I'll still win. I'm the last Uchiha in the known world and I will not lose to someone, who won't reveal his face to the public eyes," said Sasuke knowing that if he could get the man to reveal himself it would give him some sort of measure as to what he was up against.

"I will reveal just who is behind these robes when our match starts Uchiha, but when you find out...you may not like your chances," said Kenpachi letting out an evil laugh before turning around and leaving with his bodyguards and Kimimaro.

"Come on Sasuke we need to get you ready for this," said Kakashi taking the Uchiha and went "poof" before anyone could stop him.

(Two Weeks Later-Konoha Stadium-Day of the Chuunin Exams)

Word had gotten out about the change in the last match with Sasuke facing the Shikage in a "First Blood" type fight with several classified stipulations about what would happen to the winner and loser. It was also decided that should the Uchiha Prodigy come out of this fight victorious against the Shikage, he was to fight Hinata to see if her skills were that of a Chuunin. Ever since that moment Kakashi had been training Sasuke none stop in using his Sharingan and to teach what he could to the boy to be Hokage knowing that if there was any hope of beating a Kage level person it needed someone, who was trained by one.

The Council demanded to Tsunade that Sasuke see the Forbidden Jutsu's from the Scroll of Sealing to give the Uchiha Prodigy the edge he needed in his fight against the Shikage. They believed it would solidify the boy's victory over the Death Shadow and remove this threat from their borders once and for all to make the Daimyo see the promising power Konoha had. Tsunade crushed that outright as the Jutsu's were forbidden for a reason and in using them without understanding them would be dangerous for the entire public.

Sakura had been allowed to get out of the Hospital in a wheelchair and with the help of her Mother was taken to the Council box to see the upcoming fights. Sasuke's teammate had been informed of the challenge by the Shikage and the stipulations by him thanks to her Mother. Sakura being the most notorious of all the fan-girls in Konoha aside from her Mother, which she inherited it from, believe that her Sasuke-kun would win, and would sweep her off her feet to his compound in the Uchiha District to help revive his clan.

Now practically everyone in Konoha were watching the Chuunin Exams from common folk to the Daimyo's of the Elemental Countries waiting with much anticipation at the fights to come. One by one the competitors from Shinigami, Mist, and the one from Iwa entered the arena ready to fight against their designated opponents.

All they needed now was a proctor/referee, which was strangely enough not available.

"I don't believe this. Last time it was the fighters that were late now it's the proctor for the matches. What's next? The Hokage herself doesn't show up on time?" said a person in the crowd, who was becoming quite impatient in waiting for the matches to start.

He wasn't the only one.

"We came here to see them fight now get a ref in there so we can see them fight," said yet another impatient spectator from the Land of Jungle, who came all the way at great expense to see the bloodbath that was going to unfold in the arena.

'Where the hell in Anko?' thought Tsunade, who was livid at Anko's behavior at being late for this exam and made a mental note to have her banned from eating Dango for 4 months and do D-Ranked Missions for a whole year.

This was the Leaf's one chance to prove that they were worthy of redemption in the eyes of key political as well as influential people in, out, and around Fire Country. This was the last thing the village needed right now was for those people to think less of them as Shinobi, who don't care about being late or not.

Hatake Kakashi was bad enough at making that statement being remotely true.

Just as Tsunade was about to have Jiraiya, who stood beside her, go down there to be the replacement proctor the light sound of wooden sandals were heard. Soon a man wearing mostly green with a green bucket shaped hat walked in with a headband from Mist on his right arm while holding a cane in the said arm.

"Sorry I'm late folk, but the Leaf proctor that was supposed to be here couldn't make it and I had to take over for her. My name is Urahara Kisuke from Mist and I'll be your proctor this morning," said Kisuke before yawning and making his joints in his bones make popping noises when he moved them around.

"IT'S ONE O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON JACKASS!" yelled Tayuya along with several other people in the crowd not believing this man thought it was morning.

"Really? I hadn't noticed," said Kisuke making most of the stadium populace face fault at his words scratching the side of his head just under his hat.

"Just get the matches started Kisuke or I'll make you eat your hat along with putting that cane of yours someplace unpleasant!" said Yugito sitting in the Kage booth designed to hold her, the Kazekage, the Kazekage's siblings, the Shikage, the Shikage's bodyguards, etc.

In other words the booth was really big.

On the other side were Tsunade herself, Jiraiya, the Council, Danzo, and Danzo's ANBU Root bodyguards watching over him for any possible trouble.

In another part of the large stadium were the Tsuchikage Sosuke Aizen, the Tsuchikage's bodyguard Tosen, and the Yondaime Raikage Ichimaru Gin, who was Aizen guest to still even be in Konoha to watch the fights.

"Well you heard the Mizukage let's get this thing started. The first match up for today is Kurosaki Ichigo VS Jeagerjaques Grimmjow. Everyone else other then me, who does not have either of those names go up to the designated fighter's box until it is your turn for you to be down here for your fight," said Kisuke pointing to the fighter's box that was on the second floor of the stadium.

"I may not have anything against you, but I can honestly say I'm going to enjoy this fight," said Ichigo readying his weapon at Grimmjow, who readied his while staring at the spiky orange color haired kid before him.

"Bring it on kid I look forward to covering the ground with what remains I don't hack to pieces," said Grimmjow grinning widely at Ichigo breathing slightly faster as the urge to kill came off of him.

"First fight of the Chuunin Exam finals...BEGIN!" said Kisuke bringing his hand down signaling them to start the fight and start they did.

The fight started mostly showing their Kenjutsu in the ways of using a sword with Ichigo having slight advantage since Hidden Village of the Mist was THE place to learn it. As they crossed blades Ichigo got in a good shot at Grimmjow's chest leaving a wound that if not treated with healing chakra would become a scar in the future.

"Take this! 'Earth Style: Granite Spikes Jutsu!'" said Grimmjow sending a large wave of granite spike towards Ichigo, who dodged them flipping back several time before moving to the left.

"Your attack is too slow," said Ichigo only to find out to his horror that Grimmjow was right behind him.

"Whoever said I wanted my attack to hit you?" said Grmmjow hitting Ichigo in the face with a backhanded fist along with the hilt of his sword for extra damage.

'Bastard!' thought Ichigo, who dodged an offensive strike by Grimmjow and kneed him in the stomach before head butting him in the face and breaking the man's nose.

"I'm much stronger then I look Ichigo and I know you are too. So why don't we take this little fight of ours to full strength?" said Grimmjow snapping his nose back into place.

"So you want a fight huh then let's take this to the next level then. "'Kenjutsu Ultimate Secret Art: Bankai!'" said Ichigo before exploding with an amazing amount of chakra and transforming his sword along with himself into something else.

"Not bad Ichigo, but we in Iwa got something like that too only we gave it a different name that felt more appropriate for us ever since our loss during the last Shinobi war. 'Iwa Kenjutsu Ultimate Secret Art: Resurreccion!'" said Grimmjow transforming into something not considered human, but more predatory, as Grimmjow was now on all four legs, and looked like it was born from necromancy.

'Well that's new,' thought Kisuke looking slightly over in the direction of the Shikage's special booth and looked at the Mizukage, who looked back at him.

"Time to die Ichigo!" said Grimmjow in an almost demonic voice before charging at the said Shinobi, who used his speed to barely move out of the way of the pouncing cat like creature before him.

"You have to catch me first Grimm-chan," said Ichigo making the animal like Grimmjow hiss and growl at the orange haired youth before charging him again.

Ichigo leaped into the air waiting for the moment in which to strike that came when the large form of a necromancy looking cat leaped into the air with him moving in the air. They then used their chakra to manipulate the air around them to seemingly float in an almost beautiful if not deadly form of dancing trying to kill each other in ruthless combat.

"That's quite an impressive feat to do something like that," said Temari knowing that the only way she could possibly do that was with her fan and even then she could not move that fast.

"Indeed," said Kenpachi watching with amusement knowing that boy would become a strong warrior under Yugito and Rin's command.

"DIE KUROSAKI ICHIGO!" yelled Grimmjow now less then two feet upon his mid-air prey ready to bite the boy's head off.

"You first Grimm! 'Bankai Secret Art: Getsuga Tensho!'" said Ichigo sending a black red line of chakra at Grimmjow piercing through the animal from Iwa before exploding into several hundred pieces.

'Good thing my cane is also an umbrella,' thought Kisuke hooking the attachment to his cane before shielding himself from the blood soaked remains of the Iwa Shinobi.

"So much for him," said Gin raising an eyebrow at the way the poor man was killed since he had such promise as a Shinobi.

"WINNER! KUROSAKI ICHIGO!" yelled Kisuke after removing his umbrella while the said winner landed breathing heavily for a few seconds since it was a powerful attack as everyone applauded that event despite the gory outcome.

"You have trained a fine Mist Ninja Mizukage-sama," said Kenpachi wanting to keep the disguise up with his friends and allies while clapping at Ichigo's performance.

"Thank you for the compliment Shikage-sama it means a lot to me that you would say that," said Yugito looking at the Shikage before looking back at Ichigo, who gave a bow to her before going up back to the fighters box.

Even now Orihime was all over Ichigo about how he defeated Grimmjow and asking him some silly question on whether the cat form Grimmjow was in would look nice with a bell and a bow attached.

"Second fight of the Chuunin Exams is Tenten VS Misao. Please come down here to start the match," said Kisuke motioning his left hand at the fighter's box.

"YES! Now I get to prove to Aoshi-sama that I'm worthy of being around him," said an all too happy Misao, who jumped out of the fighters box and onto the ground using the slightly baggy flaps in her uniform to glide down to it.

"Well aren't we spirited today," said Kisuke waiting a little bit longer for Tenten to arrive in a more calmer manner via the steps from the fighter's box.

"Yep and I intended to beat Minnie Mouse over there real soon," said Misao readying her weapons while Tenten fumed at being call that name on account of the buns in her hair.

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT REMARK!" yelled Tenten before bringing out her sword that was sheathed behind her back with the full intention of using it.

It was clear to everyone Tenten did not like it when people make fun of her hair when it was in that style.

"Bring it on weakling," said Misao getting into fighting stance with several of her kunai held in each of her hands.

"All right you two play nice now. Ready? BEGIN!" said Kisuke, as the match between the two weapons mistresses of their respected hidden village went at it.

Misao went for long range combat first in order to test Tenten and her fighting abilities with the sword wondering if she would use it to counter the kunai being thrown or simply dodge them. Tenten for her part did both and only dodge when she felt the kunai would hit her if she didn't get out of the direct line of fire. When Misao had finished throwing most of her kunai with accuracy that could rival her opponent, she revealed two sai's hidden in her sleeves ready to cut her opponent up.

"Here I come Minnie Mouse," said Misao before charging at Tenten ready to put her skills to the test for her Aoshi-sama.

"Bring it on ninja wannabe!" said Tenten meeting Misao's charge with her own before the two clashed against the other with sword on sai's and Taijutsu thrown in the middle when the opportunity was upon them.

In the end though, it was Misao, who won the match breaking Tenten's grip on her sword before pinning Konoha's female weapons user onto the ground and her back. With both sai's pressed against her throat Tenten had no choice, but to surrender knowing that the slightest movement would put a hole or two into the vital point when it came to breathing properly.

(Outside of Konoha's Walls-At the Moment)

Blood was everywhere in the trees or the ground, the carnage that was immense for all the eyes that could see within the trees, and all that was remaining of the blood bath were dead corpses of the Iwa and Kumo alliance. Suna and Mist Shinobi took the South East and West sides of Konoha's walls while Shinigami Shinobi took both the North East and West sides.

"It's a good thing Shikage-sama wanted us to take care of this before the real fighting in Konoha started," said Rangiku brushing some of her hair back casually like she always did as she looked over the carnage she had helped create with their forces.

"Indeed. However, we need to double check to make sure we got everyone on this side of the wall before assisting the Kazekage and Mizukage forces," said Toshiro before the giant form of Komamura Sajin appeared with his size and weight creating a heavy indent into the ground.

"I just thought you should know Zangetsu is nearly finished marking all homes, the clan houses, and people he could with demon seal markers to transport them to our hidden village," said Sajin through his helmet with some blood smeared on it from his own involvement in the secret fighting.

"Good. Once Zangetsu uses his Demonic Jutsu and attaches the chakra strings on himself to all buildings and people marked with the seals we can get them back to the Shinigami Village," said Toshiro knowing that the man had started since the countdown to the finals had started knowing that there were a LOT of people to screen through in the village.

"After this the poor fox is going to need some rest. Maybe I can give him a well deserved massage," said Rangiku smirking at her husband knowing it would push his buttons.

"In case you've forgotten from drinking too much sake Ran, but were MARRIED!" said Toshiro having a little blush on his face at what his wife was suggesting.

"Party pooper," said Rangiku pouting playfully liking how she can tease her husband so easily with such suggestions.

'I can't tell half the time if she serious or not. How can Toshiro stand her? Oh wait I now I know...you lucky bastard,' thought Sajin finding that due to the difference in both Toshiro and Rangiku's height gave the icy haired man a very distinct view of his wife's chest area.

Indeed the man was a luck bastard. VERY lucky.

(Back in the Stadium)

"Kusajishi Yachiru and Inuzuka Kiba please come to the arena floor for your fight," said Kisuke ignoring Misao walking up the wall finding it easier and less complicated then all the stairs.

Tenten decided to follow the girl's example since it would be quicker and easier despite still being exhausted from their near literal definition of a cutthroat fight.

"YAY! I get to beat up Runt-chan! YAY!" said Yachiru leaping off the fighter's box and landing gracefully onto the arena floor shocking many that she wasn't hurt due her size and the height of her descent from the fighter's box itself.

Kiba was just plain pissed because of her nickname for him.

"You better watch your mouth you little midget before I decide to send what's left of you back home in a bloody mess when this is over," said an angry Kiba now walking arena floor the standard way growling at this little girl that smelled strangely of foxes.

"Runt-chan is not acting nice. I know! Hey Death-chan! Can I neuter Runty-chan to make him less mean at the end of the fight?" said Yachiru smiling behind her mask at her robed Father while pointing at Kiba, who was now paling at the thought of losing his two baby making seed generators and quite possibly his one eyed weasel.

Most of the male half of Konoha's population flinched at the thought of that happening to them too and paled along with the dog user.

Speaking of Akamaru, Hana had informed Kiba earlier that day that his partner was ill at the moment and couldn't help the boy fight in the finals. How the dog got "sick" had at first baffled Hana, but it could have been something to do with a certain crimson robed figure the night before. The figure had informed her of what was going to happen the day of the finals in the Chuunin Exams and that it would be in Akamaru's best interest NOT to help Kiba fight.

Now in the stands watching, Hana was glad she gave Kiba the fake diagnoses about the dog's condition and she was sure Akamaru would be too later on.

"Go for it!" said Kenpachi laughing in his deep before waving his hand that told her to proceed.

"All right let the third match...BEING!" said Kisuke starting the match before Kiba could protest or his Mother could yell at either Yachiru or the Shikage in halting such an action.

Kiba barely dodged the incoming torpedo that was the little fox girl laughing behind her mask while generating chakra all around her zipping around in a wild and chaotic force. Yachiru rammed into him from time to time landing punches, kicks, and multiple flying bicycle kicks at her foe before sending the dog user spinning. Kiba tried to hit her with swipes of his now claw like hands, but it was impossible due to the girls speed. Yachiru was literally running circles around Kiba making him feel dizzy as he was also spinning from the sheer force of wind that his opponent was creating. Then without even showing a hint of stopping, Yachiru broke from her huge chakra tornado, ran up one of the ever so tall stadium walls, and ran back down again with her chakra still going strong. Yachiru's overwhelming power was forming around her to create a beast chakra like form that if looked upon closely almost looked like a fox.

It made a lot of villagers in Konoha watching VERY nervous as they thought of a certain demon that had attacked them over a decade ago.

'S-She is a-a...demon!' thought Kiba seeing only the intense chakra running at him and with his body battered, bloody, and still very dizzy so he couldn't move very much.

Yachiru was laughing the whole time like it was some kind of game while running right over Kiba...quite literally.

"Your daughter is quite the spitfire of a Shinobi Shikage-sama. You must be very pleased with her own unique development," said Yugito looking on happily with Yoruichi feeling the same though it may have been because she didn't like dogs very much on account of her being a cat.

Inuzuka and Water Daimyo Rin was the general exception to that feeling.

"Yes she has great potential. Just watch and see," said Kenpachi chuckling as he saw Yachiru reached for the hilt of her sword getting into the infamous Battojutsu stance.

Kiba was now struggling to stand while on all fours trying to get up not realizing that he had figuratively painted a target sign on his ass or rather...the thing below his ass. As he tried to stand Yachiru took her time measuring her targets using her thumb and closing her one eye to pinpoint just where to aim. It was almost as if she could see through his pants and knew where to strike when it came to neutering her dog like enemy before she got back into her Kenjutsu stance again and a near invisible slice to those without years of ninja experience.

Let's just say if Bob Barker were alive in this world he would have been proud of her.

'HOLY CRAP!' thought the male Shinobi's that saw it happen as they winced grabbing their own family gene pool making tools out of reflex as what happened.

As for one female Shinobi, who is the sister of the now neutered male, she could only see the horrible look on Kiba's face as he felt it happen. She cringed like everyone else that saw it go down knowing that any shot the kid's had for a future love life was shot to hell. Finally, the one older female Shinobi/Councilwoman who was the unfortunate Mother of the now neutered Shinobi was screaming in horror as her precious boy had been (for the lack of a better word) destroyed in such a manner.

Inuzuka Tsume wasn't the only one, as a few seconds later, Kiba had joined her, but for a much more physically and mentally painful reasons. Anyone seeing the blood around his ass and the ground beneath him could tell the boy was a dead stick...no pun intended.

Well for Yachiru maybe it was before she hit him in the head with a solid punch to be his anesthetic before the medic ninja's came and took him away hoping to save what the man's pride while they still could.

"Ouch. O-kay uh...for the sake of all things that make me a male of the species I think I am just going to declare Yachiru the winner of this...um fight," said Kisuke raising his hand towards Yachiru, who jumped around happy as can be at winning the fight before bowing her head towards the direction of her Father.

The entire crowd watching the fight had stayed deathly silent and so speechless that they could hear the Shikage clapping hands echoing through the stadium. Just his at first, but soon after the other members of his group in the booth followed him knowing the reason behind it.

In her mind, Hinata was clapping too though she dared not do it in the physical world her confidence be damned.

Tsunade along with Shizune, Jiraiya, and the rest of the Council were in shock at this as they thought it couldn't be possible with the girl being nearly half if not less then Kiba's age. Yet here this girl was skipping back to the fighter's box with a fox like smile on her face as if she did the greatest thing in the world for her Shikage, who she was now in the process of waving too. This fox like girl, only known as Kusajishi Yachiru shouldn't be able to have that much power or even the competent skills needed to fight at such a level that she displayed.

The sound of clapping was soon silenced when a howl of anger was heard from the medic center within the stadium and one pissed off Inuzuka Tsume leaped into the stadium floor looking for a fight. The angry Inuzuka woman was seeing red and was ready to kill the one person, nay the one thing that had robbed her son of a chance of giving her grandkids in the near future. The instant the medics had taken her son from the battlefield she was there to see him to the special emergency station that was always setup for the far more seriously injured opponents. When she saw her son's dog bone and two tennis balls sliced completely off from where they were supposed to be attached she lost it heading back out to avenge her son's loss at being a Father or loving women in general.

Kiba would now have the viciousness equivalent to that of a dust mite.

"I'LL KILL YOU! YOU TOOK MY BOY'S PRIDE AWAY YOU LITTLE BEAST!" yelled Tsume her sword drawn in her right hand, her left hand had claws, and her teeth were practically foaming as if she caught rabies.

"Roar Zabimaru!" said Renji using his now snake like sword from his position to strike in front of the woman kicking up the ground making Tsume, despite her blind rage, have the decency to jump back, and regain a slim if any at all form of consciousness.

Renji for his part had been out and about making final preparations on his end with all the others until he was finished his task before sneaking into the stadium to watch the fights. The heavily tattooed man had unfortunately missed Ichigo's fight with Grimmjow, but got to see Yachiru's instead along with wincing at the final part before seeing the angry Mother wishing to take her anger out on the little girl.

"Thanks a lot Tattoo-chan!" said Yachiru before fully entering the doorway to be greeted by her "Genin" teammates, who escorted her back up the stairs to the fighter's box.

Renji just gave her a mock salute even though he knew she didn't see it and now turned his full attention to the angry Inuzuka now glaring at him for his interference.

'He dares interfere!' thought Tsume ready to take her rage now out on Renji.

"Um...Inuzuka-san I don't know if you know this, but we have a match to get on with so if you could move out of the way or go take care of your gi-I mean son, we can continue on with the exams," said Kisuke taking out a little fan from his pocket and started cooling himself off as he simply leaned on his cane in a bored type fashion.

"Stay out of this Mist Ninja! This is not your fight or a loss for you so you wouldn't or couldn't understand what I'm feeling right now," said Tsume ready to tear through the little fox child and turn her into her new scarf to wear during the winter season.

"All the same could you leave the arena? You are making quite a scene and it's our turn to fight," said Sado, as he and Han'nya were now on the stadium arena floor waiting for the chance to fight.

Snarling at the two from Mist and the one from Shinigami, Tsume left back to her seat in the Council room box knowing that her son was in good hands with the doctors. One way or another she would have that girl's head on a pike and hang it from the Inuzuka Clan house before the day was over.

"Well that was slightly boring. Well ladies and gentlemen, without any further delay let the next match between Han'nya and Sado officially...BEGIN!" said Kisuke bringing his hand down and the two warriors got ready for battle.

The two Shinobi took their fighting stance with Sado changing his arm like he did in the Preliminary fights and Han'nya getting into his Kenpo Taijutsu style of fighting. Each of them swore upon themselves they would show what they could do on the beliefs that they stood for and not fall unless they could no longer live before the fight was officially over.

Fortunately, (for both villages they represent that is) the fight never got to that point, as the two Taijutsu based combatants had taken such damage that neither could get up. A partially cracked masked Han'nya had summoned his deadly claws hidden beneath his gloves, used what little chakra he had left for speed to leap over the giant man, and slashed deeply into Sado's back before succumbing to chakra depletion. Sado fell into unconsciousness due to lack of blood and chakra depletion on account of his right arm using so much of the later. Several Mist and Shinigami Shinobi appeared and took them away not trusting the Leaf Medics to take the necessary care to keep them alive.

Kisuke declared the match a draw.

It was about that time that Rin made her move as planned and rose from her seat before heading towards the Shikage's extensively large booth making heads both commoner to Kage turn their heads in her direction. When she arrived the Shikage, Kazekage, and the Mizukage greeted her warmly before inviting her to sit with them in a chair given to her by one of the Death Four. Everyone was of course shocked that some of the most key influential people in all of the Elemental Countries would be sitting together on one large booth at the Chuunin Exams.

"Will Akimichi Choji and Ayasegawa Yumichika please head to the arena floor to begin the fifth match of the Chuunin Exam Finals," said Kisuke once more waving his little fan at his face to keep himself cooled off under the hot sun.

Damn you global warming.

"Despite you coming from an ugly place I will do the honorable and beautiful thing to do here and give you a chance to forfeit this fight. The Shikage speaks highly of you as well as the Akimichi Clan for understanding how it feels being discriminated against. Just like the Nara and Aburame Clan get ridiculed for their bloodlines that makes the weird or as most people here to consider...unnatural," said Yumichika waving back some hair from his face.

"Thanks, but no thanks pal. I have so much to prove from the last Chuunin Exam that if I back out now I would be insulting everyone else that came before me given that offer and denied," said Choji with his face filled with determination and strength.

"For a moment, you almost sounded beautiful. Nevertheless, I have a duty to my Shikage and though I respect you I must unfortunately destroy you now. Please forgive me for my actions Shikage-sama," said Yumichika drawing his sword before raising it to his chest while it pointed upward like a swordsman giving a salute before a duel with another.

'I won't go down. I owe it to Hinata, Tenten, Shino, and to you to above everyone else Naruto for fighting with everything you had plus more!' thought Choji ready to fight having practiced these past 3 years to train himself to go faster thus removing himself of his clans natural weakness.

"Hopefully your clan won't hold it against me if I kill you here in such an ever beautiful manner. 'Bloom for me Fuji Kujaku!'" said Yumichika, as his sword glowed and turned into four mean looking scythe heads that looked like they could destroy anything or quite possibly anyone that was on the receiving end of their wrath.

"Just so you know, I may be bigger in size then most here in Konoha, but that does not make me slow," said Choji before activating his clan armor to become more defined and tight around his body to allow him to move with less resistance.

"Then consider this a test of speed. RUN!" said Yumichika swinging his sword down on Choji, who moved out of the way if just barely.

The ground where Choji once stood now had four deep cuts making the plump individual very nervous in the fact that if Yumichika hit him just once with that sword he would be royally screwed.

'Well at least it can't be worse then training with Tenten when she threw her weapons at me to increase my speed and...HOLY CRAP!' thought Choji, as Yumichika was soon swinging his blade down upon him cutting some of his hair in the near miss.

"I'll give you this much Akimichi-san, you are much faster then I give you credit for, but still I am much faster then you by far," said Yumichika smiling at his enemy though you couldn't see it due to his swan skull mask blocking the view of it.

Choji dodged several more times landing several kicks and punches to his opponent when he was drawn in only for Yumichika to laughed occasionally. Even though the man was rubbing his rib cage from one of the harder hits it seemed to barely stop movements of the feminine man's attempts to literally slice the fat out of him.

"Okay since hurting you at my current size isn't working I will just have to increase it by several times. 'Akimichi Clan Art: Expansion Jutsu!'" said Choji going through several hand signs and expanding his physical body several times his natural size.

"Nice, but doubling your size by several times its natural state is really not the smartest thing to do. All it does it make you an even bigger target. 'Shadow Clone Jutsu!'" said Yumichika making four clones of himself, which were now on each side of now "well rounded" Choji pressing their swords against Choji's front, sides, and back while the original was on top with his four scythe blades pressed near the boy's head.

"How did you know the Shadow Clone Jutsu? That technique is only known in Konoha and can only be done by one person," said Choji shocked that someone else other then Naruto and possibly several Jounin could do that Jutsu.

"A very beautiful person taught it to us upon traveling to Shinigami and offered to teach us it in exchange for a few days rest," said Yumichika leaving subtle hints in his lie of the identity of the Shadow Clone Jutsu teacher.

"Proctor! I forfeit on account that I would be dead right now if I move and be killed by my opponent," said Choji slightly depressed that he had come so far and yet was not able to go even farther like he had hoped.

Akimichi Choji forfeits the winner is Ayasegawa Yumichika!" said Kisuke getting a lot of booing from the crowd not liking the fact that one of their own lost to the Shinigami Shinobi.

"Such an ugly response. No wonder Uzumaki-san hates them so much," said Yumichika to himself before removing his clones from existence and walking up to the fighter's box.

He didn't know that Choji heard him.

'He knew Naruto? I guess he kind of had to considering both of them know the Shadow Clone Jutsu,' thought Choji looking at the Shinobi in shock at this little bit of news and wondered if he should tell Tsunade about it before heading up to the fighter's box too.

"Okay people now before we continue were going to have what I like to call the 'Half-Time Show' before we resume fighting. Ladies and gentlemen please give a warm round of applause to the temporarily resurrected band AC/DC as they come from the other side to play for you at the request of the Shikage...'Hells Bells'," said Kisuke backing up as smoke from the center of the arena floor as the sounds of bells one hears in a temple sounded off.

(Sound of the guitar being played followed later by drums)

I'm a rolling thunder, a pouring rain

I'm comin' on like a hurricane

My lightning's flashing across the sky

You're only young but you're gonna die

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives

Nobody's putting up a fight

I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell

I'm gonna get you, Satan get you

Hell's Bells

Yeah, Hell's Bells

You got me ringing Hell's Bells

My temperature's high, Hell's Bells

I'll give you black sensations up and down your spine

If you're into evil you're a friend of mine

See my white light flashing as I split the night

'Cause if God's on the left, then I'm stickin' to the right

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives

Nobody's puttin' up a fight

I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell

I'm gonna get you, Satan get you

Hell's Bells

Yeah, Hell's Bells

You got me ringing Hell's Bells

My temperature's high, Hell's Bells

(Sounds of the electric guitar going crazy)

yeow

Hell's Bells, Satan's comin' to you

Hell's Bells, he's ringing them now

Hell's Bells, the temperature's high

Hell's Bells, across the sky

Hell's Bells, they're takin' you down

Hell's Bells, they're draggin' you around

Hell's Bells, gonna split the night

Hell's Bells, there's no way to fight, yeah

(Sound of the electric guitar building up)

Ow, ow, ow, ow

(Sound of an electric guitar going higher in pitch before ending smoothly)

When the music stopped the Shikage was on his feet with those in his booth along with all their Shinobi clapping at the performance given. It was a good song worthy of this day since it represented the Shikage's fight with the Uchiha that would happen soon in the day.

After the half time show the next three fights went by fast as the Shikage had secretly planned with the first one Nii Yugito so the fight with Sasuke could star sooner. With Uryu Ishida he forfeited his own match against Madarame Ikkaku since the two would soon be needed later for the battle to come. Seta Sojiro surprised even the Shikage as he forfeited stating that it went against his belief to harm an angel like Inoe Orihime before bowing to his Shikage as a form of an apology. Finally the second to last fight between one Shinomori Aoshi and Hajime Saito was a double forfeit due to both participants of the match refused to fight each other knowing it would be a draw between them if they did.

Besides they too would be needed for later and they also wanted to be conscious for the fight between their Shikage A.K.A Uzumaki Kenpachi and Uchiha Sasuke.

"Well that was quick and boring, but I think we can make it up to you folks with the next match I think we are all looking forward too. Would the Shikage of Shinigamigakure no Sato and Uchiha Sasuke of Konoha please enter the ring for your match," said Kisuke looking up at the two before taking a few steps back knowing that when these two fight it was going to be nasty.

"Kimimaro, please go to Hyuuga Hinata escort her up here to sit in my seat," said the Shikage rising from his chair while Kimimaro bowed and left to do as ordered.

"Why do you want her here Shikage-sama?" said Rin looking at robed warrior walking towards the steps that would lead him to his fight with Sasuke.

"Simple Water Daimyo-sama. I want Hyuuga Hinata to be treated like royalty that she is and there is no better place to start then in the guest seat of the Death Shadow," said the Shikage before leaving their line of sight as he headed towards the area floor.

Uchiha Sasuke was thrilled that he would finally have a chance at that inferior creature that was the Shikage and destroy the Hidden Shinigami Village in one match. No doubt the man never planned out a successor so early in the game and with the Death Shadow gone Sasuke could recruit as many of them to his side as he wished. Who knows? Maybe he could find a woman he found attractive worthy of being his wife, who would be strong and give him strong Uchiha children when the time came.

As he entered the arena floor, he heard the cheers of the people calling his name with the fan-girls all screaming "SASUKE-KUN!" wishing he would make love to them. There was no doubt they wanted to help in the restoration of his clan, but for him they were all weak and he didn't want weak Uchiha children in his clan.

Sasuke was so into the people around him that he failed to notice the dark clouds forming above the stadium and the temperature cooling area down as a result.

Within moments the Shodaime Shikage of the Hidden Village of Shinigami arrived still wearing his robes and concealing his face much to everyone's annoyance. They wanted to know who was under those Kage robes that had become the bane of their existence for what seemed like centuries to them. This figure was currently responsible for making all of Konoha weaker then when the Uzumaki kid had left to do his own thing in life.

"All right you two before we start I just want to know are we clear on the terms of this match considering the stipulations involved," said Kisuke looking between the two with careful eyes knowing that this was going to get messy if he were lax about this for one second.

"Yes we know the stipulations and the way to win can we please start now. I want to see this guy set himself on fire as promised when he loses," said Sasuke getting more cheers from the crowd and more screams from the fan-girls.

It was cut off by the intense laughter coming from the Shikage.

"You really think you can beat me? You couldn't beat me the last Sasuke-teme. You had Kakashi-teme retrieve you after I knocked you on your ASS!" said the Shikage now pointing his finger at the Uchiha in question making everyone look at the robed figure in confusion or shock for those that did and did not know what was going on.

"W-What? What did you just say?" said Sasuke knowing only one person would call him that name and only one person had ever truly defeated him in a life or death battle.

"It couldn't be him. How could the demon become a Kage of a village," whispered a now shocked Kakashi to himself from his spot in the stadium watching everything with some worry not sensing a figure behind him.

"You are such an arrogant fool," said Yoruichi appearing right behind a VERY surprised Kakashi, who spun around to see a cat like woman wearing orange and black.

"Indeed," said Zangetsu, as Kakashi turned to face him while trying to raise his headband to reveal his Sharingan, only to turn back around to face Yoruichi when he felt her chakra spike just before rushing him and slamming her palm into his stomach.

Kakashi's natural eye widened as the pain rushed to meet his brain, but before he could cry out in pain to alert any Leaf Shinobi, his second surprise attacker simply consumed him by the crimson cloak the man was wearing.

Then all went black for the Shinobi Cyclops.

"You heard me TEME! Didn't think I would come back? After what seemed to be such a long time ago after our fight at the Valley of the End I wouldn't want to miss this day for almost anything else. With me being betrayed as well as nearly being killed by our so called sensei I swore to myself I would come back to tear this shit hole of a village a new ass!" said Kenpachi before removing his removing the gloves from his hands that were soon followed by his robes revealing his spiky hair with bells and his fox skull like mask.

"N-Naruto?!" said Sasuke looking at his former teammate and what he considered his best friend despite their differences.

Tsunade leaped from her seat to the booth railing along with Jiraiya, who were shocked out of their minds at seeing the boy again.

"That's not my name anymore Sasuke. I go by a name I gave myself so I could start anew and it's a name that reflects me more then my last one. I now go by the infamous name of Uzumaki...Kenpachi!" said Kenpachi laughing behind his skull mask that seemed to glow slightly with an eerie red.

'He changed his name so no one would suspect we were looking for him when he went to Water Country since no one had ever heard of him. Then he became the Shikage without anyone noticing it was him because he found a way to keep everyone that was looking for him thinking he was somewhere else, when he was right next door to Fire Country and Konoha the whole time,' thought Sasuke surprised etched upon his face in sheet horror of knowing the identity of his opponent.

"You seemed surprised Uchiha-teme? Tell me...did you like my little gift I gave you two weeks ago? Your big brother Itachi hanging from the old police station your little bastard family founded so many years past. I thought it was fitting since he killed your clan and all, but then I guess you can't fulfill your vow to kill him can you? If I didn't hate your guts so much, your sensei, and/or your clan I could almost pity you," said Kenpachi right before removing his skull mask to reveal his face.

'It is Demon/Naruto-san/kun!' thought everyone that didn't know before seeing the now revealed warrior throw his mask up towards Kimimaro, who caught it easily.

"Now you know, who you are fighting Sasuke. Scared?" said Kenpachi smiling his ever crazy smile that made almost everyone shiver in fear.

"You wish loser. The only reason you won our fight was because of the demon chakra, which was an unfair advantage," said Sasuke trying to find an excuse for his loss at the Valley of the End.

"What about the Curse Seal Orochimaru gave you? You talk about fighting unfairly when all I did was level the playing field since we are equal in terms of comparing bloodlines," said Kenpachi

"What? You have a bloodline?" said Sasuke shocked along with everyone else in Konoha that didn't know since they believed that such a thing would have eventually manifested itself before them as time passed.

But it did.

The defiling of the Hokage Monument, the chases that came shortly after the pranks he had pulled, pranks where he outran ANBU ranked Shinobi, and finally...the very fact that Kenpachi, formally known as Naruto, had caught up to Sasuke at the Valley of the End. The end result being a fight that Naruto had won despite it being a hellish battle, that in the aftermath that came shortly after confronting each other, Naruto was still able to live, and survive a Chidori to his chest a second time only now from his backstabbing sensei.

"You're not as slow as I thought would be teme! You have your puny little Sharingan Eyes, against MY family's bloodline known simply as...the Energerigan! It's a bloodline, which grants me near limitless stamina and endurance when needed the most whether to outrun all the ANBU chasing me as a kid, outrunning a mob, and/or my own personal favorite...to beat the holy hell out of stuck up assholes like you," said Kenpachi smiling at his shocked foe while many others were shocked too knowing only one man other then Uzumaki had that once thought to be extinct bloodline.

The late Namikaze Minato...the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha.

"You are...his son?!" said Sasuke while staring at Kenpachi's smiling face remembering how his Father hated the Namikaze Clan hearing him curse the Yondaime's bloodline that seemed to negate the Uchiha's own when it came to fighting.

"Yeah I am his son. Though personally...I hold no love for the man or the village he died protecting. Not after all the shit these people put me through when I was younger," said Kenpachi turning his head slowly towards the Hokage Booth before glaring harshly at the Council members that had deprived him of his inheritance for so long.

The said Council members trembled in fear instantly.

'Poor Kenpachi-kun. So many years of suffering have scarred him more then any weapon human or demon made ever could,' thought Hinata while Temari was thinking the same thing though she sent some killer intent towards a frightened Sakura, who was looking at her equally fear filled Mother for help.

'Cry to mommy all you want you pink haired little bitch, but before this day is over your head will be removed from your skinny little body after I help Kenpachi-kun make you suffer. Let's see what happens when your punching bag decides to grow big muscled tree trunk arms and decides to punch back with the strength that rivals a demon lord,' thought Temari, who was looking forward to destroying that fan-girl disgrace of a Shinobi.

"Proctor, start the match so I can kill this chicken shit Uchiha," said Kenpachi to Kisuke in a somewhat bored tone as if the young man before him wasn't much of a challenge at all.

The tension was so thick that no one cared to notice the sky was getting darker and more eerie by the second.

"Don't get over confident loser. I've grown stronger since the last time we fought and I intend to win this time too. Maybe if you're lucky I'll name one of my kids I have with Hinata after you if he turns out to be a failure like he's named after," said Sasuke now smirking knowing that the only way to get to his former teammate were his "precious people" as he called them.

'Everything is ready,' thought Zangetsu to his vessel knowing Kenpachi would get the meaning behind the words before getting a mental nod of understanding from the man.

"You are so overconfident I have a strong need to puke on you right now knowing that alone could defeat you. Did you know I had to go through several obstacles when this all started just to set this entire thing in motion? First, I had to go through Akatsuki, then the Sound Ninja's, then some bandits in Water Country, the previous Mizukage, the previous Water Daimyo, more Akatsuki members, Orochimaru, Kabuto, a countless number of Konoha Hunter Ninja's, a countless number of spies, Konoha Root ANBU, one Uchiha Itachi, and finally...you what? Rather then speak his name before I put you on the list of people I'm going to kill, I want you to look up into my Kage Booth just WHOSE name I was going to say," said Kenpachi pointing to a now wavering Genjutsu that revealed to everyone's shock a crucified Kakashi, who looked like had been through all nine levels of hell and back.

"Kakashi-sensei?!" said Sasuke looking from Kenpachi to his teacher as did everyone else and at the horror of what the white haired man looked like.

Kakashi's clothing was battered and ripped open from whatever happened to him with the remains clinging to him now soaking in what he had left of his blood. All the blood he was losing came from the deep wounds he sustained in his legs, chest, arms, neck, and face. All at the hands of his merciless attackers, who in a final insult to him removed his mask, left him bare-chested with it covered in blood, and had his eye socket holding his Sharingan Eye being roughly torn open while pinned to the Uzumaki spiral that was his crucifix.

"How do you like the man's new look? Was it a bit over the top? I don't," said Kenpachi, as he now smiled at Zangetsu's and Yoruichi's handy work on the man.

It was then that the female Water Daimyo, in all of her infinite wisdom rose up from her prestigious seat and approached the fallen Leaf Shinobi. It was in that brief moment that the two looked at each other, that Kakashi thought the Lady of Water Country would be able to show him mercy and free him.

Key word being brief, as the woman slapped the man hard across the face leaving a very red and unhealthy looking red shaped hand mark across his face shocking nearly all if not the entire stadium audience. Kakashi himself was startled since he had (as far as he knew) done nothing wrong to deserve that. Right? Sure, he favored Sasuke over his other two students and read his Icha Icha Paradise in front of everyone around him, but...that was it! What reason could this woman hate him that she would strike him across the face instead of freeing him from his current prison?

His answer came in the form of Water Daimyo removing her mask.

"Hello Kakashi. It's been a long time my old teammate," said Rin glaring at the man and showing her Inuzuka like teeth at the same time.

"R-Rin? W-What are y-you d-d-doing h-here?" said Kakashi finding it hard to breath a little under his old teammates gaze.

"So you actually remember me? I thought you would have forgotten me after all this time considering you forgot about Minato-sensei. You KNEW he was his son and you favored the Uchiha instead. What's more is you tried to kill the boy with your own original Jutsu that you taught Sasuke not to use against Gaara in the last Chuunin Exams, but to use in killing Naruto should the opportunity ever came up," said Rin having broken into the one eyed man's house earlier when he wasn't around and found the man's personal diary.

"Y-You don't u-understand R-Rin I-I owed O-Obito for e-every...," said Kakashi, only to be silenced by the back of Rin's hand delivering another powerful blow to the Jounin's face.

"Don't give me that crap! You owed Obito nothing. You just wanted to have the title as the Jounin Sensei that trained Sasuke while stunting the growth of the 'Demon' as you so openly call him in your diary. That's right Hatake-teme I know everything and I know it was YOU, who told the Orphanage about Naruto holding the fox demon, YOU spread the words about Naruto holding the demon knowing you wouldn't get caught, and YOU were the one, who provided detailed information for the mobs that always attacked Naruto on his Birthday every year," said Rin having read each page the man had written down about Naruto carefully.

"You're no angel of mercy yourself Rin. You left and therefore are just as guilty as I am in hating him so much," said Kakashi trying to make Rin feel some of the guilt she was trying to pin on him.

"Perhaps, but had I known this would happen I would have rescued the boy from yours as well as all of Konoha's own personal bigotry like ways and would have raised him like he was my own pup. It wouldn't have mattered, who was sent after me I say to hell with the ANBU, the Council, and even the late Sarutobi Sandaime be damned if I let all of them stop me from doing it had I been there. As for you Kakashi I can easily say with a clear conscious that where I'm going when I die is not a place you are going. I'll give you a hint as to your destination, what we humans call Hell...demons call home!" said a very angry beyond all means Rin before she spit in Kakashi's face and walked back to her seat to watch the soon to be fight.

"And now...there is nothing left standing in the way of our fight!" said Kenpachi smiling his ever sinister smile before licking his lip around his pointed teeth.

"Okay without further delay's I hereby announce that the 'First Blood Match' of these here Chuunin Exams officially begins...NOW!" said Kisuke real quick before running a good safe distance away from them, which just so happened to next a tree near the ever so big stadium wall.

"Well you heard the man. Take your best shot while I stay right here without moving a single muscle," said Kenpachi, removing his upper red and black clothing leaving him completely shirtless.

"What do your mean take your best shot?" said Sasuke looking slightly intimidated while some of the girls had blushes and nosebleeds from seeing all the muscle the man was now showing off.

Hinata and Temari were trying their hardest not too have either come across their faces.

"I mean take your best shot at making me bleed first. I'm giving you freebee hit to make me bleed right here, right now, and in front of everyone here friend or foe. You see I'm so confident that you are so much weaker then me I'm going to give you the chance to actually kill me. Come on. Do it for old time's sake like you did at the Valley of the End and ram a Chidori right through my heart. Or maybe you want to aim for my face? My stomach perhaps? Or maybe you want to ram it right into the center of my chest like I did your brother's sword to him when I ended his miserable life," said Kenpachi having his arms out wide inviting the Uchiha to attack him.

"Wow Ken-chan your SO nice of you!" said Yachiru from the fighter's box jumping up and down with excitement at seeing the fight.

"I know aren't I just a bleeding heart of generosity," said Kenpachi turning his head to look at Yachiru in the fighter's box before turning to the Uchiha and pointing to his long since healed chest wound as if to signify a point.

"You're nuts!" said Sasuke though he had to admit that the offer was more then tempting for him to take.

"This coming from the same guy, who wanted to kill his best friend to gain the ultimate form of the Sharingan? Come on Sasuke-teme quick being such a pussy and HIT ME WITH YOUR GOD DAMNED CHIDORI!" said Kenpachi while ignoring the cries of Tsunade and Jiraiya telling the man to stop it from happening.

"As you wish loser though with you I think I'll take it up a level. 'Rakiri!'" said Sasuke making hand signs for the Rakiri and charged right at his larger opponent with blinding speed with his Sharingan activated to give him the much needed edge in the fight.

Or so he thought.

Granted for a young man of Sasuke's age the speed was impressive to all who saw it, but to one Uzumaki Kenpachi it was like a rabbit watching a snail move. A snail's pace was completely slow and boring.

Deciding to go for the spot he had hit nearly 3 years ago Sasuke rammed his Rakiri into Kenpachi as he had before at the Valley of the End right where the heart was located. The last Uchiha had made solid contact with the massive giant of a man, who to everyone's slight surprise and credit didn't move an inch or look at the opposing right arm that had held the ever so deadly Jutsu. All that mattered was that there was the distinct sound of a dripping liquid where the two were and its sounds echoed throughout the stadium as civilian and Shinobi held their breaths at the outcome of what seemed like an already over the fight.

Someone was bleeding. The question was...who?
