I'm Stuck In Naruto!

32

We started at the board in silence as it rumbled, words popping up on the screen until it stopped on two names.

'Misumi Tsurugi vs Kankuro'

I looked over to Kankuro and saw a smirk clear upon his face. They both made their way down to the floor below before Hayate, each glaring at each other.

"All right… Then… You may begin." Hayate said as he stepped back away from the combatants.

Misumi's eyes narrowed as he started at Kankuro, "Even though you're a little brat I'm not letting down my guard as Yoroi did. In fact, let me make one thing perfectly clear... You'd be better off forfeiting the match before you get hurt."

Kankuro let out a chuckle as he slid the real Kankuro of his back, "I agree... I'll be finished with you in no time."

There was a moments silence before Masumi leapt from the ground and approached Kankuro, "Don't try any tricks. I'm going to win this with the first strike!!"

Katsuko held onto Masumi's arm as he avoided the punch, but all of a sudden, Masumi's arm seemed to bend and he wrapped it around Kankuro's neck and twisted his limbs horrifically around Kankuro's. That... That's disgusting...

"In order to gather intelligence, I've had my body altered so that it can infiltrate even the smallest space. I can dislocate every joint and manipulate my limp body by the power of chakra alone!"

Eww...

"And with this same power, I can keep squeezing and constricting until your bones crack! The longer you wait to surrender, the tighter I'll squeeze!"

That actually sounds horrible, who wants power like that?

"I don't know what your own ninja art may be but once your body is helpless in my hands, it doesn't even matter. And if you give the smallest hint of trying anything clever in order to avert defeat then I'll snap your neck like a twig!"

This guy is kinda dense... Wouldn't you be suspicious of whatever's covered in bandages? I would probably be trying to attack whatever was in the bandages in case someone was hiding in it...

"You're running out of time..."

Kankuro smirked and gave a short glance to the bundled up surprise, "No way..."

"Do you want to be the one who dies...?!" Masumi yelled out as he tightened his grip and leant forwards.

There was a moments silence, "Do you? You're about to get your wish!"

People started on in horror or amusement as a loud snap resonated around the area.

"He broke his neck!" I heard Lee mutter.

"What?!" Exclaimed Naruto as he stared wide-eyed at the two below.

With the help of the wall, I stood up and wiped any dust that stayed attached to my clothing. I leant against the barrier and sighed, "He's not dead you two."

They looked at me in slight shock and confusion before turning back to the floor.

"And now I can return the favour!!"

The supposedly dead Kankuro's head snapped up and spun 180°. Masumi snapped back, eyes wide. There was the sound of rattling and ripping as the puppet wound its arms around Masumi's arms and waist.

I turned my gaze to the bandages and watched as it squirmed and saw a hand pop out, pulling at an end. With a hard yank, Kankuro revealed himself surround by bandages, chakra strings coming out of his fingertips.

"Think how much more flexible you'll be... with all of your bones broken to bits... But... I guess I'll leave your beck intact."

As a loud crack echoed its way around the room, Hayate stepped forwards, "Due to Misumi's inability to fight back the winner of this match is Kankuro!!"

As I smiled gently to myself, Naruto reared his head to Kakashi who was leant boredly against the wall, "Two of them against one guy... Isn't that against the rules? Isn't it, Kakashi-sensei?!"

Kakashi shook his head, "Not in this case, Naruto. The 'other guy' is just some kind of golem..."

I placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder, drawing his attention to me, "The art of the puppetmaster. He manipulates a lifeless doll by projecting the power if his chakra. The golem, or puppet, is a weapon, just like when you throw a kunai or shuriken."

"In any event... It's time for the fourth match."

The board rumbled and created before coming to a slow stop.

'Sakura Haruno vs Ino Yamanaka'
