I'm so glad I made that jutsu' Naruto thought to himself as steadied his legs so not to fall. The blond was nearly blown over however as two people rush past him with a stretcher between them. The first was a tall man with short dirt blond hair, blue-grey eyes, and like his companion he wore an all white outfit. The second was a petite build, with mid back length brown hair done in a braid, and large expressive brown eyes as she followed right behind. Like they did with any other fighter that couldn't leave the arena by themselves the two rushed over to Alke. Grabbing her head was easy enough but Naruto couldn't help but wonder how prepared these two were when Alke's body started clinging to and groping the male medic when they tried to place her on the stretcher.

'At least there's only one more fight' Naruto happily thought to himself as he got his legs under control and stood up straight. As the female medic demonstrated quite a bit of strength by simply grabbing hold of both her partner and Alke and dragging them out of the arena like it was nothing a winged shadow slowly moved over the blond.

"I was actually looking forward to seeing how the great hero would fair against me" the dragonic woman commented as she glided over the arena and softly landed as if she were weightless, turning to face him just before her feet touched the ground. "It is a shame that our match came after your fight with that retired general" the woman said as her golden yellow eyes stared through him with a powerful glow behind them.

Giving the woman a confident smirk Naruto shoved a thumb into his chest while declaring "Don't worry about me. I still have more than enough to wing this!". Though this declaration probably would've been cooler if Zabuza hadn't picked the blond up by the back of his shirt seconds after making it.

"Get lost. This fight is mine" the ex-kiri shinobi turned royal body guard told the blond struggling to get out of his grip while looking at him with his usual glaring expression.

"Wha!? Why would I-" Naruto was starting to remark with sending his own glare at the man when the swordsman cut him off.

"I don't want her having any excuses for when I beat her" Zabuza said redirecting and intensifying his glare at the draconic girl that was clearly amused with the whole situation as she looked on with a smirk. "Now move it before I add a few more slashes to your body" the man said while tossing the blond over his shoulder and out of the arena.

After landing on his face Naruto quickly sat up and turned back to the man. "Damn it! You owe me for this!" Naruto yelled at the man who didn't give any inclination that he heard the blond. 'Why did Aria safe this bastard again?' Naruto wondered as he tried to glare a whole through the back of his head.

"Attention everyone! It would appear that Naruto will be bowing out of the competition and the contestant who won the first round will be taking his place!" Mina announced to everyone in the stands. Next to the palace worker sat the royal family in their private booth.

"I guess I wont be getting Naruto all to myself for the next week then" Saree commented with a sigh as her head dropped slightly and she leaned further back into her chair.

"Don't worry dear" her mother told her while placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "It was just bad luck is all" the brunette told her with a reassuring smile.

"Yeah, I guess your right" the red haired princess told her as she sat back up.

"Not to mention you still have him for the rest of the night" Joanna added as the hand she held on her daughters shoulder moved to cover the smile she had when her daughters face turned bright red at her mothers implication.
