(Kasumi's POV)

I was worried. My curse mark was throbbing, something that shouldn't be happening when it's sealed. Orochimaru was teasing me, telling me that he could break through at any moment. I couldn't even concentrate on Kiba and Naruto's fight.

I inconspicuously rotated my left shoulder, hoping to ease the pain somewhat. It didn't do much. So, I leaned against the railing and rested my head on my arms, moving my right hand a bit closer to my shoulder so it rests on my curse mark.It throbbed once more, and I tried my best to control the wince threatening to break through.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Naruto's outburst broke me free from my thoughts. He was beaten, and his mouth was already dripping out blood. I twitched seeing my teammate in that state, all caused by Kiba.

"Go Naruto!" Sakura cheered. I glanced nervously at him, then at Kiba. I'm torn. I don't know who to cheer on.

"Why don't you just quit already?" Naruto shouted at Kiba. "You're making a fool of yourself! Don't you get it? I let you pound me so I could find out what you're made of!"

Kiba twitched in irritation and bared his fangs threateningly.

"And from what I felt, you weren't made of much!"

That did if for Kiba. He charged towards Naruto while shouting, "You're going to get it now! Let's go Akamaru!"

Kiba dug out some smoke bombs from his jacket and threw them on the floor. Naruto was surrounded by smoke, hidden from view.

"Get out of there Naruto!" I shouted as I gripped the railing tightly. I blinked in surprise. That just slipped out...

Naruto burst free from the smoke only to have Akamaru push him back in. Pounding was heard from the cloud of smoke, making me wince in sympathy.

Kiba's going all out, I thought as the smoke started clearing. My eyes darted around the arena only to rest on Naruto's limp figure with Akamaru sitting right by him. I narrowed my eyes as Akamaru started running towards Kiba.

"Good one, Aka-"

All of our eyes widened in shock when Akamaru leaped up to chomp on Kiba's arm, growling as he did so.

"Akamaru?" Kiba questioned in shock. I smiled as what happened finally registered in my mind. That isn't Akamaru.

Akamaru puffed away, Naruto taking his place.

"Gotcha!" Naruto shouted.

"You-! The transformation jutsu!" Kiba exclaimed in shock. "Damn! I let my guard down! Where's Akamaru?!"

"Right here," Naruto's clone held up Akamaru by his paws, causing the poor pup to whine. Naruto reeled back, shouting about how Kiba tastes like dog.

"Is that really Naruto?" Shikamaru exclaimed.

"To perform the transformation jutsu along with his shadow clones...amazing!" Choji said.

I smiled, proud for my teammate. His peers are finally acknowledging him.

"You've gotten stronger, eh?" Kiba smirked. "I guess I don't have to hold back now."

"Right back at you," Naruto smirked himself.

"Great job Naruto!" Sakura and Lee cheered.

"We're looking at a whole new Naruto," Shikamaru muttered. I smirked.
