The Power of the Black Shadow
Hyuuga Neji stood there, calm, waiting for his opponent to show. Problem: He wasn't here.
"I waited five minutes and he is not here. Call it Proctor. Fate does not allow him victory."
Genma sighed. True, plus the people looked restless.
"Shousha-"
But Genma was interrupted by a sudden pulse of power that radiated throughout the entire village. It felt... cold... Before everyone's eyes, a swirl began to form from across Neji's direction. The swirl grew, until it seems that a hole was beginning to tear itself through. Dark purplish black flames began to lick along the increasing width of the hole, before it formed a black hole. This black hole did not begin to suck anything into its darkness, no. Instead only a dark feeling of dread now begins to blanket the arena.
"I apologize, but I had to get ready," a familiar voice filters through the air, heard by all.
Followed quickly by a soft amusing chuckle, a figure slowly began to emerge from the black hole of the fire-brimmed portal.
"Who the hell are you?' Genma commanded, startled by this person's entrance. The, everyone got an answer.
"Uzumaki Naruto, Proctor-san." Naruto wore a black silk bodysuit and white silk gloves. The footwear worn consists of flat pointed knee-high black boots, the lower legs reinforced with armor, and gold shin guards. The knee guards were diamond-shaped. Running up from the knees were single purple stripes that curved slightly over the stomach and ended at the lower corners of a silver icon. The scar over the chest also ran over the emblem, but the emblem was ruined to show the scar's condition on the skin under the bodysuit. The shoulders had oval shaped guards with a triangular-pointed projection. The forearms were protected with the same type of black armor guards, gold rings around the wrists and gold armor pads for the elbows.
Most of this however was concealed by a heavy dark brown cloak, which exposed only the upper half portion of his face. Profound whiskers were barely seen on the teenager's face, and his eyes were no longer that brilliant shade of blue that resembles the clean ocean, but the red glow tint that eerily matched Kurenai's eye color. Also, he now wore what looked like purple war paint like Kankuro, only they were shaped like fangs from under the eyes down the cheeks. Most of his spiky hair was now hidden under a strangely-designed metal helmet with fins that looked similar to that of a cobra's hood. The inside was orange, while the rest was all black. On the forehead point of the helmet, was a blue crystal with four points like a diamond-shaped mark. If one was to look very closely into the crystal, you can see the reflection of Konoha's leaf symbol within the translucent gem.
What was even more strange, other that this cold feeling that filters the arena, was the fact that Naruto was actually levitating OFF the ground. And even the most experienced ninja, or the Kages, can detect any chakra that many thought Naruto was using for a Fuuton-based levitation. He keeps his glare focused on Neji, who decided to slip into his Jyuuken stance. Hinata was worried for Naruto. She didn't think that he would now reveal his true self to anyone else, much less this damned village who tormented her secret boyfriend. Sakura just stared, as she didn't believe what was going on, and believed this was a Genjutsu. Everyone else had similar conflicting thoughts with Naruto, and the Jōnin-senseis minus Kakashi (damn late asshole)... they just kept their eyes on this new Naruto.
"Hajime!" Then Genma Shunshin out of the arena and next to the judges high above near the Kage box. Good thing too.
"Katon: Shounetsujigoku (Fire Release: Hell Burner)!" He thrusted his hands out before him and unleashed a jet of dark red flames. Neji was taken by surprise, but he managed to evade the Katon technique. Even more surprising was the fact Naruto did not use any hand seals for the jutsu. It was a seal-less jutsu!
"Fate shall determine me victory. You are fated to lose," Neji said coldly.
"Fate this," Naruto responds by flipping the bird, as his left arm was held out to the side. It became clear when a ring of purple black chakra formed and fell off the arm, but with a quick swing of the arm, the ring suddenly was thrown. It tore the ground as it fast approached Neji, who barely dodged the strange jutsu. Even avoiding it, the chakra from it felt so... evil, malicious, dark...
"Doton: Doseki Kobushi (Earth Release: Golem Fist)!" The ground before Naruto erupted, forming a stone fist that levitated in the air before being launched towards Neji, who was now back on his feet. Like something out of the Matrix, Neji bends back and then hugs the ground with his back. The stone fist flew past, and smashed a hole into the far wall behind him... okay so it took out a section of the wall and exposed the stadium's hospital room.
Naruto flew at Neji, and swung his leg out. Neji dodged and blocked, gritting his teeth. He assumed the cloak would hinder Naruto's movements, but this was not the case. Neji's Byakugan flared to life, and now Neji appeared to match Naruto move to move, blocking each kick, punch, and hard strike. Until Naruto flew back, evading a Jyuuken strike to the chest.
"Fuuton: Hayabusa Tatsumaki (Wind Release: Falcon Tornado)!" Naruto's right forearm began to form visible chakra-like energy before the shape of a strange falcon formed, and the beak opens. A strange echoic howl rings out as a large vortex of green energy is fired at Neji. Neji surprises everybody by using this technique.
"Hakkeshou Kaiten (Eight Divination Palms of the Hand Heavenly Spin)!" Hiashi in his booth stared in shock, at seeing a Main Branch technique used by a lower rank branch member of the Hyuuga Clan. The vortex of wind slams into the barrier, and it was neutralized, as Naruto's attack ends. He glares as Neji stops, and his eyes lock onto Naruto.
"You cannot win."
"We'll see..."
Naruto flew up into the air. From there Naruto held out his right palm facing up, left hand clenching the wrist area and started forming a sphere of swirling chakra that many Leaf shinobi during the time of the Yondaime recognized, even Sarutobi Hiruzen. Naruto then dropped like a stone towards Neji.
"HE KNOWS THE RASENGAN!?" Asuma choked in shock, as Kurenai and Gai's eyes widen as well.
"Hakkeshou Kaiten!"
Neji thought this next attack will be deflected away. Boy was he wrong. Naruto announces the correct name for this technique.
"Rasengan: Chikyu Bure-ka (Spiral Sphere: Earth Breaker)!"
CRASH! BOOM!
A large plume of smoke engulfs the battlefield, and seems to waft into the lower seats closest to the edge. Naruto had completely shattered the so-called perfect Hyuuga technique, and in the process, struck Neji with enough strength to not only injure him, but also bury him inside a large crater... which everyone saw once the smoke finally cleared away. Neji was injured, battered all over, bleeding, and standing over like a warrior of death, cloak fluttering softly, was a changed Naruto.
"Never mess with the Black Shadow," Naruto whispered to Neji, who in enough pain, finally passed out.
"Shousha... Uzumaki Naruto," Genma announces once snapped from his stupor. The only person in the entire awe-induced arena (Gaara glares at Naruto, itching to kill him when the time comes) who reacted was Hinata, who squealed in a fangirlish way, and blushing as usual.
"He's so fucking hot!"
His lower face still partly blocked by his poncho-like cloak, he grinned having heard Hinata's loud exclamation.
