The Lost Shinobi

Preliminary Rounds: Part 1

"Time For The Preliminary Rounds!"

I gulped as the screen on the wall appeared.
"First match is...."
The screen flashed a bunch of names, and the first two names were...
"Uchiha, Sasuke, and Akadō Yoroi."

Naruto, Sakura and I got our spot as Sasuke and Yoroi appeared in the arena. The Curse Mark was obviously bothering him, but he was trying to ignore it. He couldn't even use his Sharingan.

"Come on...." I whispered under my breath. "Tch, he thinks he's so powerful because he's a stupid Uchiha," a familiar voice muttered. I turned my head only to see Scar, clearly unamused by the fight.

"He's strong with or without his inheritance of the Sharingan," I muttered. "Come on Sasuke!" Naruto cheered. Well, I thought he was cheering until, "You call yourself an Uchiha with that? Stop acting like an idiot! Get serious!" "Can that guy shut up?" Scar growled. I widened my eyes at Naruto's words, they were sort of working.

I grabbed the rail and joined his rant, "Sasuke, how're you gonna kill THAT man if you can't beat him?" That hit him, hard. He looked at Lee and realization hit him. When Yoroi aimed at him, he starting a taijutsu, which looked like Lee's Lotus. In the end, Sasuke won. I could see the Curse Mark blazing.

Kakashi sensei appeared and took Sasuke with him. "He's trying to erase the Mark, like I did, or at least seal it so it doesn't appear randomly." 'Well, that makes sense.'

"So, Yūrei, you've finally been given a useful host."

I turned to Scar, in which he looked like he was talking, yet in a more grown up way. His eyes were black and his pupils turned into white slits. I heard my tailed beast growl in anger, which I suddenly began to feel.

"Kerma.... Trying to steal my host again?"

I noticed my own Aniraken appear, and my chakra mix into my Tailed. I felt an anger that defied everything I used to be angry at. Scar began to slightly smile.

"Aw come on, you're not still mad about that are you?"

"You should be glad that Nii-San stopped the fight. I could have killed you right then and there."

"Kurama? I could beat him and you any day. I take orders from nobody."

"Says the one that was mind controlled by Madara."

Scar's face slightly turned red with embarrassment. Kerma must have been really embarrassed to show any ounce of feeling on Scar's face.

"That's none of your business."

"It is since I released you from it."

"Did not."

"Did too."

"Didn't."

"Did."

"Did not."

"Did too."

"Umm, Akiko?" Sakura's voice interrupted the argument. Scar's face turned normal and so did mine. I hadn't noticed that Kerma and my tailed beast, Yūrei, had been fighting for the next two rounds. Sakura was up next.

It was her vs Ino. What a surprise. I eyed Scar as his attention turned back to pretending to watch the match. He looked like he was having a mind battle with his Bijuui.

'Bleh, I liked that kid better when he was a small runt. Kerma seemed to have taken a toll on him, he always does. The desperate idiot.'

'Why do you care so much about him and his hosts? You were just yelling at him earlier.'
