章 32: Feelings...
After Hayate had announced, Sakura walked towards Ino and dispelled her Genjutsu.
Ino opened her eyes as she looked towards Sakura.
"Sakura, you've outgrown me," Ino said as she looked down in defeat.
"Ino, work hard, till we battle again" Sakura encouraged as she walked away.
Ino felt light-hearted as she looked towards Sakura.
"I'm still not giving up on him" She screamed.
..
At this moment a silhouette approached Naruto.
"Hi, again."
"Karin." Naruto turned towards her.
Sasuke also saw that Karin dropped by, but he turned back towards the board.
< Temari Vs. Tenten >
Sakura saw Karin, as she approached the spot where her team was.
Feeling that Karin was giving up on her life, she stomped her way in and brought her face extremely close to Naruto.
("What is so good about Naruto?") Sakura thought as she brought her face closer.
…
("What are you doing Sakura-chan?") Naruto thought as he turned his face slightly.
"Sakura-chan, if you keep staring at me I'm gonna blush," Naruto said in a cute voice.
Sakura got ticked off at this instant. Her face became that of an angry demon almost scaring Naruto away.
..
However, what Sakura did not know was Ino walking by them at the moment as she slipped a bit and fell on Sakura.
"AH! Sorry Sakura," She shouted as she fell.
(CHUUUUU!!!!!)
The impossible had happened.
Karin stared at Sakura with wide-open eyes, whereas Sasuke turned back too.
("W T F ?") Sasuke thought since Naruto had already told him that he would marry Sakura in the near future.
Sakura kissed Naruto.
Ino started laughing out so loud at this moment even Temari and Tenten who had not begun their fight yet, looked up together at Ino laughing like a pig.
Sakura got up as she started to jump around like a monkey, spitting out her saliva as she tried hard almost to rip her lips off.
"Oh! Poor crybaby Sakura has gotten her first kiss, stolen by the guy she most hates to death."
"Aww… Now I guess Sasuke will have to fall for me…." Ino said as she gave Naruto a thumbs up.
…
"Even if he's from the future. He is still the same idiot." Shikamaru concluded as he watched the commotion.
Sakura now approached Naruto as she jumped over and started raining down punches all over his face.
Meanwhile, Hinata also stared at Naruto getting beaten up but did not understand, what had happened since she did not see Sakura had kissed him accidentally.
…
…
…
Karin stopped Sakura, who breathed in and out crazily like a beast after she had exhausted all her energy beating Naruto up.
"Hey, You have already damaged him before he even had a chance to battle. What is wrong with you?" Karin asked.
"What is wrong?" Sakura asked as she glared at Karin.
…
At this moment, Naruto's face was swollen up like a balloon.
("Idiot") Sasuke stared at Naruto.
…
...
...
"Ouch" Naruto shouted as Karin brought a towel towards his face.
Karin frowned as she presented her hand towards Naruto.
"Bite it." She said.
"I don't want it," Naruto said as he stared at her in the eye.
Karin turned towards Sakura and shouted.
"It was your fault in the first place, why did you beat Naruto up?"
Sakura turned back towards Naruto, as she finally calmed down feeling regret over her actions.
….
"Naruto-kun!" A high pitched voice interfered at this moment.
"Hinata!" Naruto screamed as he instantly appeared by her side.
"Take this" Hinata said as she handed him a healing cream.
…
Naruto spread the cream all over his face, and it had instantly healed him.
"huh?" Karin and Sakura were shocked at how fast it worked.
…
"Thank You!" Naruto smiled as he looked at Hinata.
Karin felt her hopes die down, as she knew this smile all too well.
…
Naruto took the opportunity to bring Hinata over to a separate spot, a few metres away.
"Hinata, what happened over there is not my fault…." Naruto begged.
"Mmm" Hinata accepted, unable to look at Naruto in the eye as she fidgeted with her fingers.
("She was supposed to battle Neji today, right?") Naruto thought back to the time Hinata was injured badly by Neji.
Naruto turned towards where Neji stood, as he looked at him.
..
"Mmm," Neji felt a gaze lock onto him.
Neji slowly turned his head to look at Naruto who was staring at him…
"Hmph," Neji snorted and turned back to see Tenten trying to resist Temari with all her might.
…
"Hinata show me your left hand…" Naruto said.
"Why?"
"Just show me…." Naruto insisted.
"Okay…." Hinata said in a shy voice as she brought up her left hand.
Naruto then used his thumb and the index finger to hold onto Hinata's ring finger and inscribed the flying Raijin mark onto it.
Hinata was extremely surprised as she looked towards Naruto, with her face turning extremely red.
"Hinata…"
"This is a special technique of mine…"
"Whenever you feel like you are in danger, just inject this mark with a bit of chakra, and I will instantly appear by your side."
"Naruto-kun" Hinata stared at Naruto with surprise.
"Hinata… I swear to protect you with all my life." Naruto said as he looked into Hinata's eyes.
Hinata turned utterly red at this moment as she fainted with a sense of satisfaction.
"Hinata!…"
"Oy Hinata!…" Naruto tried waking her up frantically.
However, he did not realize that Hinata's soul had almost transcended boundaries after what he had just said.
….
…
…
…
Soon Temari defeated Tenten, who had fallen unconscious on Temari's huge fan.
"The land of sand is also to be feared" Hiruzen commented.
…
Hayate approached Temari.
"The winner of the fifth battle…"
"Temari" He announced.
..
Temari smirked at this moment which was noticed by Lee.
"It's bad!" Lee exclaimed as he jumped down.
Temari used her fan to send Tenten flying.
..
(catch!) Lee had arrived just in time and caught Tenten, right before she landed on the ground.
"Gu…!" Lee made a sound feeling the brunt of the force Temari had added to throw Tenten away.
..
"Nice Catch!" Temari praised.
"What are you doing?!"
"Is that something you do to an opponent who fought to the utmost?" Lee shouted as he questioned Temari.
"You're annoying!"
"Take that trash away already!" Temari countered.
Lee growled at Temari's comment as he launched himself at her in a fit of anger.
"Stop it! Lee!" Neji warned
< Taijutsu - Leaf Hurricane! >
Lee executed his great kick only to be blocked by Temari using her giant fan.
"Hmph!" Temari snorted with disdain.
"What?!" Lee was surprised at his failure.
..
"You're just like you look…"
"You're dull too," Temari commented as she intentionally provoked Lee.
"What did you say?" Lee asked as he got up.
"Stop it, Lee!" Gai interfered as he appeared beside Lee.
"Gai-sensei!" Lee exclaimed.
"Tsk!" Temari became angry knowing that all her provocation before, had become useless now that Lee's teacher appeared.
…
"Temari!" Gaara called out.
"Come up quick; you've already been declared the winner."
"Don't keep company with that awful-looking guy and his chaperone forever," Gaara spoke out without even flinching as he directly challenged Maito Gai's pride.
Lee could not take this comment silently as he stared at Gaara.
"That's enough, Lee!" Gai calmed him down as he was filled with pride towards this favorite disciple of his.
Gai smiled as he spoke out.
"Gentlemen of Sand…"
Gai looked at Gaara as he continued.
"I wonder if I may give you a word of warning."
Gaara frowned as he heard this statement.
"This kid is strong," Gai said as he placed his hand on Lee.
"You should prepare yourselves."
…
…
…
Gai and Lee left the stage after the which the giant screen lit up again.
< Nara Shikamaru Vs. Tsuchi Kin >
Obviously, Shikamaru had won this battle.
Hayate announced Shikamaru, the winner after which the names of the remaining Genins were randomized on the screen.
After a few moments, it had finally stopped.
"Next match…"
< Uzumaki Naruto Vs. Inuzuka Kiba >
