Hinata Hyuuga vs Neji Hyuuga

This match, interested Naruto, heavily.

'She's taking mercy on him, yet he's doing nothing for her.', Jubi frowned.

'What do you mean?', Naruto blinked.

'The Curse Seal, Neji has one. The Curse Seal goes on all branch member's forehead, and the Main Family, such as Hinata Hyuuga, can kill or cause terrible pain. She's taking mercy on him, if she wanted to she could kill him without a second glance.', Jubi returned.

'She's always been too nice.', Naruto sighed, remembering back in the Academy.

Jubi agreed.

The fight finished off rather easily, as Neji finished it off with a few final hits that sent Hinata flying. She was quickly taken to the Medic-nin, and Naruto had to stop his sister from going over to attack Neji Hyuuga.

" Look what he did do her! Their supposed to be family! ", Saya growled.

" Even so, it's not our place. ", Naruto returned, glaring at her.

" Fine... ", she muttered, stepping back.

" I'm still going to get Neji Hyuuga's ass when I can.. ", she added.

" I don't care. ", Naruto returned, snickering at her choice of words.

She noticed, and went red, " I-I mean, I'm going to kick his ass! ", she hissed.

Naruto continued to snicker, as she started to glare at him.

Saya Namikaze vs Kiba Inuzuka

Naruto watched the fight, interested.

-o-0-o-

The fight went poorly for Saya at first, especially after Kiba's ninken, Akamaru, joined the fight and transformed into Kiba with the Beast Human Clone technique.

Saya made a comeback by transforming in a layered fashion into Akamaru and then Kiba, so that, when Kiba attacked Saya, the second Transformation gave way to the first, as Akamaru, leading Kiba to attack Akamaru, who was still affected by Beast Human Clone.

Kiba then focused on attacking intensively to keep Saya from counter-attacking, until Saya accidentally broke wind, which stunned Kiba, whose sense of smell was magnified a thousand times at the time.

Saya then continued beat Kiba by using shadow clones to perform a new technique, the Saya Namikaze Combo.

The fight ended, as Saya gave multiple bows and returned the high stands.

Gaara Sabaku vs Rock Lee

The Next match pitted Lee against Gaara of Sunagakure's Sand Siblings. At first, none of Rock Lee's taijutsu attacks managed to penetrate or circumvent Gaara's Shield of Sand, until Lee removed the weights he was wearing on his legs. The boost of speed was so much greater than before, that Gaara's sand couldn't follow Lee's movements, and Gaara was hit for the first time in his life.

Lee then used his Front Lotus on Gaara, but in the end it was revealed that it had been a sand clone. Having no other way to end the match, and with Guy's permission, Lee then opened five of the inner chakra gates, the result being that Lee's strength was multiplied immensely for a short time, but also severely injured him.
