Chapter 10

Round One

Lily

"We have to go come on..." Lily said, she was growing impatient with Naruto and Sakura, some thing that didn't happen often to her.

"Okay, I'll stay here until Ino comes around I'll meet you there later." Sakura said smiling trying to ease the tension.

"Okay..." Naruto said opening the door to blinding light. Lily followed him out. Naruto brought her to the training grounds where he him self had taken his 'Bell Test'.

"Glad to see your here, well how did the interrogation go?" Tsunade said standing with team eight, team ten, a few other chuunin and Jounin and team Gai. Ino, Sakura and Kurenai else where of cours. Sai and Kakashi were there in the back round.

"A... she was found innocent, but a... Ino kinda fainted at the end, Sakura's taking care of her. Other wise a... You could say it went well." Naruto said rubbing his neck.

"Okay... Well Lily first you will be facing Inuzuka, Kiba, please every one get back." Tsunade said as every one stepped back to make a circle.

"Ready." Kiba and Lily met in the center.

"Set." They shook hands and jumped back.

"BEGIN!"

Kiba

Lily just stood there while Kiba smirked and did hand signs.

"Beast Mimicry Jutsu!"He grew fangs and claws. Lily simply took a defense position. Kiba charged head on Lily stayed still, and at the last moment jumped but Kiba expecting this was on already on her. She smiled and winked Kiba felt his hand being held in a death grip. He felt another set of hands grab his ankles and waist. He saw no one though, he figured it must have been a genjutsu and shouted "KAI!"

Lily smirked taking out a staff and pushed chakra into it making it turn black and a icy blade developed at the end of it in a curve, it was scythe. She moved so fast it was even hard for Neji and Lee to keep up and brought it around his legs. Kiba turned into a log and Lily turned just in time to catch the real Kiba's shoulder she it. "Don't under estimate me! Use your full force!" Kiba said calling over Akamaru.

"Okay, but I was just trying not to hurt you to badly. What good is it to hurt a comrade just for a rank of power after all?" Lily said also whistling but un like Kiba Lily doesn't have a dog. She has Midnight... The same wolf appeared behind her at once and snarled her long fangs and then bowed her head. Kiba fed Akamaru a soldier pill and stepped back, as he slowly turned from white to red. Lily simply strapped her scythe to her back and cut her thumb and swiped it on Midnight's paw. Midnight had a silver glow to it for moment than Midnight became silver and grew to Lily's height.

Lily stood by her side, Kiba unmoved by this transformation smirked. "Choujuu Giga!" Akamaru turned into Kiba and both lunged at her with 'Gatsuga'. Lily laughed and headed strait for it, Midnight followed behind her. Lily some how managed to grip one of Kiba's hands and stop his attack, Midnight was biting the other Kiba's leg mean while. Kiba felt a cold blade come close to his throat and flinched. Lily was in front of his holding his wrists, and he couldn't see any shadow clones.

"How are you doing that?" Kiba asked trying to use his nose to sniff out the perpetrator.

"Doing what?"

"Holding me like this! How are you holding me here and yet have a blade at my throat! Wait what's happened to Akamaru?" Kiba shouted trying to get free only to feel a dribble of blood leek down his throat. But he didn't care he only wandered what happened to his beloved companion who was swiftly dozing off.

"I put a genjutsu on him, it simply puts him to sleep."

"How? When did you do THAT?"

"Three minutes ago!" Lily said her smile growing in size.

"And now I'll have to do the same to you! Or would you rather we rough it out in a ninjutsu rouse?"

"Don't play with me!" Kiba broke loose and instantly felt his arm cut. But Lily wasted no time and was already doing hand signs. Kiba went to Akamaru's side and released the genjutsu and waited for the attack prepared. "Inuzuka Ryuu Chinjuu Konbi Henge: Soutou Rou!"

Lily was almost done with her hand seals but she faltered at the sight of the two headed giant beast. But she regained her composer and finished the seals. "Daibakufu no Jutsu, Doku Kiri!" Lily saw Kiba coming at her and then she saw him stop.

A giant wave of water coming from no where was head strait for him and at the same time the air around him was filled with a poisonous gas. Kiba couldn't escape and do to his sensitive nose the fumes were killing him -literally-. The water hit him full force, he had minor cuts and scraped all over. Kiba collapsed from the poison and the jutsu fell, he was fading into an uneasy sleep. I lost to another Uzumaki! It must be Karma!

Lily

Tsunade blew a whistle and the match was over, Lily was already healing Kiba's minor injuries which were few. "WHAT AN EXCELLENT DEMONSTRATION OF YOUTHFULNESS AND KINDNESS!" Lee called from, the crowd .

"Thanks?" Lily said done healing Kiba's wounds and moving onto Akamaru. Akamaru was better than Kiba but neither sustained any fatal injuries. Every one was impressed,even Naruto didn't expect her to do that well.

Kiba woke up a few minutes later mean while Lily took a lunch break. "How were you holding me?" Kiba asked.

"Oh! I can turn my shadow clones invisible! I made some while you were talking to your dog, you didn't notice." Lily said taking a bite of salad.

"Hm... Why did you do your other seals so slow though?"

"I wanted to see how you'd react, I didn't want to hurt you that wasn't the point of the test."

"Good point, so who are you battling next?"

"Rock, Lee! I've agreed to only use Tiajutsu with him. I knew he didn't know any ninjutsu aor genjutsu because he wouldn't be wearing a light outfit such as that. Ninjutsu or genjutsu users try to wear more armor because most gen or ninjutsus use long range attacks. There fore wearing armor for close combat would be almost necessary." Lily said avoiding a tomato in her salad.

"Hey where's you regulation head band?"

"Ehem..." Shino walked in on the conversation.

"Oh, it's been on my shoe! I figured putting it on my head was getting old. So I noticed no one puts it on there shoe, and I decided that I should! It has lots of advantages! I can use it as a mirror." Lily ignored Shino tapping on her shoulder and his 'Ehem'.

"Ehem!"

"I can blind people with it!"

"EHEM!

"And lastly I can distract people with it! But right now I do wander if Shino, do you have a cold?"

"NO! I'm trying to get your attention!"

"A... I'm outy, see you later Lily."

"Bye Kiba! So did you want some thing Shino?"

"Your next match is in four minutes!"

"Oh! Well luckily It's about four yards to the training grounds! Thank you Shino for telling me!" Lily walked out the door. Shino mean while was about to explode.

Lee

Lily was there five seconds before Tsunade's clock rang. "Cutting it close?" Naruto said breaking the circle of people which was now half the town. They had nothing else to do so why not watch the match?

"Sorry!"Lily called back with a 'silly me' look on her face.

"LEE SHOW US WHAT TRUE YOUTH CAN DO!" Gai called from the stands. Yosh Gai sensei!

Lee and Lily shook hand and jumped back. "I will not take you lightly because you are a girl."

"If you did you'd probably be defeated five minutes sooner." Lily said a smirk growing on her face.

"Begin!" Sakura yelled since Tsunade was busy with other things...

Lily charged first this time, and managed to deliver a blow to Lee's arm with a kunai. "Please drop the waits, if you do than I will to!"

Lily said taking out the insoles of her shoes and some other weights in her shorts and such. Lee took out his weights and sped up to Lily delivering a kick to her face, but Lily merely dogged it with no effort she blocked another series of punched he threw at her and next she backed up and jumped high in the air and did a mid air back flip landing on Lee's back. She wasted no time in producing shuriken from her pocket and pinned him.

But he was already loose by the time she turned back around, and managed to sneak behind her. Lee took the opening to kick her in the head Lily looked taken aback for a moment before regaining her position. And snuck behind Lee dragging out her scythe, in one sweeping motion made little cuts along his back and brought him to the ground. He got up instantly though, he unwrapped the bandages on his arm and with blinding speed even for Gai and Lily's standards.

Lee kicked her upward then up and up some more about to nose bleed height, he wrapped the cloth on his arms around her body. She didn't even struggle it's like she knew what was coming. Lee looked in her eye for one moment and hesitated but continued anyway's. Lee held her leg's as they came down in a gust of wind. "Primary Loats!" Lee shouted over the roar of the air spinning around them.

Lily landed face down into the earth, Lee winced. Maybe I over did it... But as Sakura was just about to call it off when Lily's body did a flip freeing her head from the earth. Her head was bleeding profusely, and so were her hands but she stood in the same fighting stance as before. Her scythe back in her hand, Lee knocked it out when he was kicking her. "Heh. you think that's gunna keep me down? Get real!" Lily said smiling confidently, all trace of fatigue gone from her face.

"H-how?You headed strait into the attack you shouldn't even be able to move. But I will not under estimate you again!" Lee whipped into a raging hurricane of fists in which Lily all blocked expertly and managed to throw a few that hit him. After ten minutes of this Lee was feeling his muscles strain from the loats. Lily took this opening to hit him behind the neck knocking him out. Huh wait it's all going dark? I-I didn't loose did I? Oh, well I guess I could call this a learning experience...

Lily

Lily and Sakura paired up to heal Lee's injuries and Lily said she was okay so she took a break and the crowd dispersed for that period. But they soon came back to see the next match, witch was probably going to be the most exciting. People were taking bets whether if she would stay in or loose against 'him' but she laughed when Naruto told her this.

"Oh, if he's anything like the last two I'll have fun but I don't think that he'll beat me. I might use my other side in the last match though... But for this match I'll barely use up all my normal chakra." Lily said sitting at the bench with Naruto and Shikimaru.

"Hm... You weren't thinking to hard out there, did you have a strategy planned or what?" Shikamaru said taking a sip of some juice.

"Yes, kind of. Last night I was playing some old songs while warming up for the matches today. All the jutsus I did were in accordance with the rhythm of the song. I was murmuring the lyrics the whole time I was out there. So you could call it a strategy..."

"Well that's pretty random I'm guessing that kick from Lee took you off balance right? And when he did the laots, you were expecting him to do that, so made an opening for him?" Naruto asked feeling a bit confused.

"Yes!" Lily said drinking some water.

"What are you doing this time?"

"Oh, lets just say I'll get wet!" Lily said scrunching her face up the way Naruto dose.

"He-Hello! I-I hope I-I was-wasn't interrupting something..." Hinata said curving into a seat.

"Nope! Just talking about your cousin... Neji is you cousin right?" Lily asked turning to face her.

"Y-Yes, but the next match is st-starting in a f-few minut-minutes!" Hinata said remembering why she came over here.

"Oh... I better get going!" Lily dissapeared and faced Neji in the grass field. Which now had a gate and bleachers, curtsey of Yamoto -of course. The crowd was at last doubled Lily swore watching all of these people wandering if she hadn't of come where they'd be.

Neji

"Well, this should be interesting...

"Yes, yes it should! I might even bring out my true form..." Lily said to Neji's statement but for some reason, Neji didn't want to know what her true form was.

"BEGIN!" Sakura bellowed Ino -now awake- by her side.

Neji circled expecting her to do the same but she merely staid put. She got a scroll out and summoned a guitar with a whirl of smoke and movement. Neji couldn't see her and at the same time he could feel an extra weight adding to his head. He looked up.

Lily was now on Neji's head she jumped off as he tried to get gut her, she landed in front of him. She started to play but she voiced no words, Neji tried to hit her again and she ducked not even looking at him.

Neji felt dizzy for a moment then realizing it was probably a genjutsu focused his attention on getting out of it. But Neji failed to notice that nothing had changed since she started playing. Lily mean while expecting him to waste his time trying to dispel the non-existent genjutsu, took her scythe and lashed it lightly across his back.

Neji felt the blade sink into his skin and jumped he didn't under stand. This is genjutsu isn't it? Or was she just making me think that? Oh no I must look like a fool! Neji saw her trying to cut him again and dogged pushing chakra into his fingers and hitting her arm, he forgot to activate his Byakugan so he could only guess where her tenketsu were.

"Byakugan!" He shouted but he didn't believe what he saw. Her chakra was black, blue, tiny bit of red and white he never saw such a sight. And it seemed that he did hit her tenketsu but she hadn't lost any chakra it almost seemed as if she gained more...

"Wha-what's with you? Your chakra it's blended! I-its all mixed up!" Neji said staring dumbly, on the out side she looked the same... No difference... He couldn't understand how she had that much chakra and act normally.

"Oh right... Well remember what you saw this morning you know when Naruto forgot to knock? Well um it has to do with that side of me!" Lily said strumming to a rock metal tune.

I under stand now it was from having two different demonic chakras and human chakra but Naruto only had red and blue? Where is the white coming from? But Neji put aside his thoughts as water come out of no where beaming toward him.

He dogged it slightly cutting his shoulder.it was like a whip Lily was controlling it with her guitar he was guessing. The water snapped again at his head, he tried to slice it but it didn't work. The water simply was now two whips headed for him. He dogged both and ran for Lily but found that she placed a water barrier over herself. Neji thought of his lesson with elements. Fire beats wind, wind beats lightning, lightning beats earth, earth beats water and water beats fire!

Neji did the hand seals to the only earth jutsu he knew. "Doton: Doryuudan!" Neji shouted as a dragon like head popped out of the ground and shot a huge mud projectile at the water barrier, Lily not expecting that turned the water to ice and watched it shatter around her bringing the mud ball with it. But Neji kept firings the mud balls at her. Lily used more water to act as a shield.

When Neji was done he backed off into a defensive position, Lily took out several throwing daggers and threw them while winding around Neji jumping off any thing she could find to give her an advantage, Neji mean while was spinning in his 'Devine Swirl' he dogged them all and stood back up. Lily shrugged and threw some more once again Neji dogged them all Lily smiled and charged at him scythe in hand. She held no mercy as she vanished and Neji laid there many cuts on his body.

Lily re-appeared next to him blood trailing from her mouth she stood frowning. Neji collapsed his shoulder hurt terribly, and so did his hand, he was infuriated that Lily simply was standing there with a bit of blood on her mouth. But wait how did that get there? I didn't even touch her! Maybe if she keeps doing this she'll tire herself out! Neji thought getting back to his feet and once again taking a battle position.

"Standing? That surprised me... Well, looks like I'll just have t-" Lily broke off as Neji fell to the ground.

"What the... What did you do?" Neji said trying to get back up.

"Finally the immobilization kicked in! Well to answer your question I had tiny partials water infiltrate your cuts and I put a weird kind of sticky sap that comes from my village into it. It just immobilizes you if givin in small amounts it'll go away in a few minutes don't worry!" Lily said smiling down at him.

Ten Ten picked him up and carried him over to another table which had been brought their incase ant one got hurt. But Neji noticed that some people's wallets were hurting because of bets and gambling. Even lord Hyuuga was forced to pay Kakashi because he lost.

Lily

"Well tired at all?" Naruto said getting up from his seat and patting her on the back.

"A bit... I feel a bit nauseous I haven't been this worked up since, Oh yeah... FIVE DAYS ago." Lily said, slamming her fist on the counter.

"I was forced to use poison a bout three times now I usually don't but I don't want to kill them so no choice. Most of my Jutsu are mass killing techniques so it's hard for me to keep my chakra levels low when I've been holding so much in. It hurts to suppress my demonic chakra because it has element based properties. But if I let it out it might kill every one so instead I have to channel it into my normal chakra which hurts allot when I'm so excited!"

"Well that stinks! Can't help you there I don't have any real demonic chakra of my own!"

"You don't well that reminds me... Naruto you have a choice to make! Do you want to be the predecessor of our uncle?"

"What do you mean do you want me to do?"

"Listen! Will you take my place? Since you are my closest family? I can't ask Lily she's already taking Okami's -wolf- place, she can't precedes both of us. And since her family already has Lily predeceasing Okami I can't have Cage or Kia. Even though they're more demon then you! But I can help you haha! Besides would you want Cage to have my power?"

He and Lily were in their seals together again. Okami nodded to this statement slowly both were in their human forms. Lily stood against the wall in her demon form.

"You see Kyuubi needs some one to take his demon position after he dies. Which would be you and next would be Cage. You see only one of each demon family can have note worthy demonic energy. Kyuubi was chosen because he was first born of his family. That's how they kept the tailed demons in check. Only one from every demonic family could have true demonic power but as you can see their aren't many demons left to carry on the power to. Kyuubi never had a mate so... You have a choice..."

"So I'll have demonic powers but will that mean that I'm a full demon?"

"Well you'll be like me kiddo! Only you'll have a better human form like Lily has." Kyuubi said laughing.

"You have to live for nine years to get full strength. I started last year so this year in about a week. You'll start getting tails on your birth day this year."

"So I won't turn into a ravenous monster?"

"Nope! Demon's mostly are nice but humans just make them angry so they retaliate. Like me!" Lily said. "Utoh! Some one's outside poking us! They probably think were dead! We'll start the ceremony tonight! Bye!"

And they awoke with a start, Naruto was getting his chest pressed by Chouji. Mean while Lily was in her demon form being poked with senbons and throwing knives by Shikimaru.

"AHH! It's alive!"

"Naruto's alive too!"

"What the?" Lily said taking out the senbons and kunai.

"Who are you?" Shikamaru said backing up.

"Well you saw me in my under wear this morning... So why dose this surprise you?" Lily said walking over to Naruto and helping him up.

"Lily? We couldn't see you all that well... NOT THAT WE MEANT TO!" Shikamaru said covering his face protectively.

"Okay?" Lily said walking out the door. "Meet me to night at eleven okay Naruto?"

"Sure?" Naruto said still dazed.

"What happened?" Chouji asked hazardously.

"Demon stuff... I think..." Naruto said walking out as well.

Gaara

"S-sir! We have found Uchiha, Sasuke and have informed that he is separating from his group. And Akatsuki are tailing him as well, they have not a move on him yet but I suspect they will soon Kazekage-sama!" A plump man said over verbalizing every thing like if Rock, Lee or a person who was under the impression that the person that he was talking to didn't know the language well.

"Okay..." Gaara said not paying attention. Then the words he said sunk in a few minutes later he dropped the piece of parchment he was holding. Gaara didn't know why Akatsuki would want Sasuke, he knew that he wanted to kill one of their members but he thought this would be going a bit to far. Has he become that great a threat? We still don't know if he's an ally or enemy. It would be unwise to send assassins after all I did promise Naruto and breaking that promise would be very... Hurt full, besides I shouldn't meddle into other villages missing nin's business...

Gaara sighed and picked up the piece of paper he had been reading. It came from some weird bunch of traders who wanted to come to his town to sell and buy stuff. He threw it aside and leaned back in his chair he had so much writing to do. Dissolving it he couldn't do and telling Temari that he was allergic to paper didn't work either...

But he looked up at the sky it was a beautiful morning and that's all he wanted... For now... But later he'd want to be like a regular kid roaming the streets on string tied to his back no siblings shouting at him to 'sign paper work'. He missed staying out all hours gazing at the moon, but he liked dreaming... He wasn't sure which he missed more... Dreaming or star gazing...

What dose Gaara like better? What happened to Kai and David and why weren't they in the chapter? -I decided that I should put Gaara instead but they'll be in the next one!- Why haven't I got a new song yet? -I did! But it didn't fit in the chapter!- Who will Lily's next opponent be? What will Naruto choose? And will I ever have any pairing stuff in here? -Yes I will- Find the rest out in Chapter Eleven!

Well this my first time writing any battle stuff so flame me all you want! I'm prepared! Sorry they were so short but I don't have any experience with this kind of stuff... So if by a miracle you do like it tell me! And Lily is worn out but she doesn't want to admit it... So I'm not making her invincible of any thing... I'm re-creating Elements Academy so if you were reading that I'll have it on here in a couple of days...

Thank you so much for reviewing ~Lily Uzimaki
