Love or Hate: A Naruto Fanfiction Book 1

Bitten Part 2

You watch as the first round begins.  Hotaka is by you as a Jonin team 'leader'.   Him and Kakashi are talking.  You hadn't told Hotaka about the curse mark yet.  And Anko keeps looking at you.  You are wearing a pair of sweats, a muscle shirt with your mask attached and bandages around your right shoulder.   You are slipping on a hoodie when you hear.   "Nori Shimura verses...  Lan Yuudai."  You just snap and your sweater is gone and you have your gear instead.   You jump down while thinking 'try not to use too much chakra or the seal acts up.'  Lan looks nervous.   You wave him down.  He walks down.  You walk over to him quickly and make sure his fake leg is fine.   You both give each other a fist bump.  You then jump back.  "Are you both ready?"  The announcer asks.   You both nod.  "Begin!"  He says.   You and Lan start to circle each other.   You watch as Lan goes for a kunai.   You go for yours also.   You are copying each other.  "Go Nori-sama!!!!!  Go Lan-kun!!!!!"  You hear Lan's team mates yell.  "YUMI-CHAN YOU CAN DO IT!!!!"  You hear Naruto yell.   Your eyes switch to greenish blue and you lunge forwards.  Lan dodges easily and moves behind you.   You dodge his kunai by bending backwards as he jumps over you.  You back flip and land in a crouch.  You then do a round house kick.  He jumps then throws shuriken at you.  You jump out of the road.  You both go into Taijutsu.   Your fist is caught by his left hand.  You catch his fake leg as he swings it up.  You dodge his right hands fist and roll forwards.  You throw him and he lands in a crouch.  There is a loud ping noise.  "Your leg okay?"  You ask.  "It's fine."  Lan says then lunges at you.  You didn't expect him to start doing hand seals.  There is silence as there is a tornado of water.  You start up hand seals as well and you finish before him.   There is red lightning.   It hits the tornado and it goes everywhere.  Lan runs at you and you dodge easily.  You kick him in the side and he does flying into the nearby wall.   He quickly get out of the road as he sees you in mid air as you bring down your leg.  A small crater is there at first then it cracks into a bigger one.   Lan easily manages to get up and is behind you.  He has a kunai to your throat.  You do a bowing motion but you use your momentum and kick the kunai out of his hand.  It hits the wall in front of you.   Lan jumps backwards as you then bring your leg around to go and kick him.   You both go back into Taijutsu.   There is lots of cheering.   You bring your leg up but then you are sent flying by a kick of his own.  "That is pay back!!!"  Lan laughs.  You get up and say "You asked for it now you goon!"  You laugh and shakily get up.  You then feel your neck start to burn. You grab your shoulder in pain.   Lan runs over to you.  You then do a kick and he slides back as he has your leg in his grasp.  He is using your momentum to flip you.  You quickly use your own body strength and wrap your legs around his neck from behind.   You snap and you have your swords in both hands.  You stick them into the ground as Lan hits the ground hard.  You drop down exasuted.  You shakily stand and pull both your swords from the ground.  You point your swords at him.  He and you both start laughing.  Lan puts his hands up as he sits up.  "I forfeit.  She is too strong for me!!!"  Lan says while laughing.  "Hey you almost got me a few times too!"  You laugh as you snap, your swords disappear.  Lan quickly reaches for your face and pulls up your slipping mask.  He moves away and then stands.  "Lan Yuudai forfeits.  Nori Shimura wins."  The announcer says.  You wince at the pain in your neck.  You cover it and wave over at Naruto who is jumping up and down and yelling.    Lan falls into you. You catch him.  You throw him over your shoulder.  There is laughing.    You teleport with him and your shoulder burns.  You set him down and sit down.   You lift up his shorts slightly.  You have a few people watching you.  Lan's teammates run over to the two of you.  "That was so cool!!!! I am so jealous of you Lan."  The girl says. Lan is grinning.  "If it wasn't for Nori-sama, I wouldn't be able to walk, let alone fight." Lan says.  The boy is watching you carefully remove Lan's leg from his body.  "What the hell are you doing?"  Some kid practically screams.  You hold up the fake leg and show the kid Lan's stump.  "How the... That isn't possible his legs aren't real?"  The kids says.   "No only this one... Took me a good three or four days to finish making it"  you say with a small smile.  "No one can do that."  A kid says.  You wave them off.  "Hey I never picked up you twos names."  You say towards Lan's teammates.   "Oh my name is Tatsuo Yukirio."  The boy says.  You nod and look over at the girl.  "My name is Rie Shika-Kage"  The girl says with a smile.  You take off the cover of the fake leg.  You see a small loose screw.  You make a screwdriver with your chakra.  You tighten the screw slightly and spin a gear.  It works perfectly.    "There you shouldn't hear that ping too much now."  You state before putting the cover back on.   You then re-attach his leg.  You help him up.   You get up then push lightly on his forehead.  "Remember to come back if you want an upgrade for it."  You say.  He nods and says "thanks Nori-sama."  You nod then teleport to the other side.  You grab your shoulder in pain.  You let out a shaky breath.  Kakashi is looking at you worriedly.  You then stand up straight and watch the next round as this one comes to an end.   Next is Rock lee and Gaara.  You are sure that this would be an interesting match, between a determined young man and an insane killer with a tailed beast within him.
