Uzumaki in the Ring

After Sasuke kicked Yoroi's ass, team 7 stood on the platform and watched the next fight between Shino and some guy from grass named Kaito Saiki. The genin had a very interesting dust manipulation jutsu but it was no match for Shino's bugs. The battle was over in seconds. The screen started randomizing names again when it stopped on 2 candidates:

Naruto Uzumaki vs Kiba Inuzuka

"Alright! It's finally my time to shine!" exclaimed Naruto. "I am so kicking his ass!"

"Do your best Naruto!" said Sakura.

"Don't lose dobe." said Sasuke.

"You got it you two, I'll win this for sure!" said Naruto before he jumped down the platform. The 2 leaf genin stood in front of each other and had an epic staredown while Hayate explained the rules once more. After the rules were debriefed, Kiba put akamaru down and Naruto being Naruto complained that it was against the rules, but the proctor quickly explained that it was fair game.

"Heh, of course you're complaining, wouldn't want anyone to ruin your hair. Eh pretty boy? What idiot even gave you that stupid hairdo?" said Kiba.

"Don't you dare insult Sakura-chan and her work, I'll have you know that my hair looks fabulous, unlike your rat's nest of a haircut!" said Naruto.

Then the actual fight began, Kiba used Ninja Art of Beast Mimicry: All-Fours Jutsu and gave himself longer nails like claws and better physical strength. He launched himself forward and used his elbow to hit naruto in the chest, the attack sending the blonde backwards. He landed on the ground and stood there as if unconscious. All around the other genin were mocking Naruto, saying how that was pathetic even for him. But Sakura knew better, she shared a look with Sasuke and saw he realized it too, this wasn't the end, the two of them continued to watch the match with twin smirks, the smugness basically radiating off of them. Naruto will be just fine. And they were right, next thing they knew Naruto was standing up and screaming at Kiba not to underestimate him. 

"Atta boy Naruto, kick his ass!" screamed Sakura. 

The genin were watching confused as Naruto took a fighting stance and mocked Kiba about his strength. Sasuke, the everliving drama queen, decided to clarify things for them. "It's just as he said, he was assessing his opponent, it was obvious he wouldn't give up that easly. The dobe is too stubborn for that."

Kiba growled and and took 3 smoke grenades that he threw at the blonde, once inside the smoke Kiba started attacking the blonde from all directions. When Naruto tried to get out, Akamaru jumped him and finished him off. The smoke dispersed and revealed the puppy standing proudly next to an unconscious Naruto. But then the dog ran forward and bit Kiba's hand. A puff of smoke appeared and Akamaru transformed into Naruto, Kiba quickly shook his arm and freed himself from Naruto's bite. The Inuzuka asked where his dog was, only to see him in Naruto's arms. Suddenly Kiba fed Akamaru a food pill and the dog became feral and his fur took an orange color. It kicked the blonde with his hind legs, thus escaping his captor. 

He jumped on Kiba's back before he got transformed into his owner. Now 2 feral looking Kibas stood in front of Naruto before they pounced on him. Naruto dodged, again and again and again as Kiba and Akamaru kept on attacking him. The two eventually used Fang Over Fang and slammed into Naruto, the blonde was once again laying on the ground, as if unconscious. And yet again Naruto stood up and Kiba and Akamaru used Fang Over Fang, again slamming into the blonde again and him getting up again. Then the Inuzuka threw more smoke grenades to obscure Naruto's view before he used Fang Over Fang again. It was just like before except this time, it was a stronger move. Just when Kiba was about to deliver the finishing blow, Naruto transformed into him, making the boy unsure who was the real Akamaru. Kiba quickly used his sense of smell to identify Naruto but the blonde transformed into Akamaru at the last second, making Kiba confused and forcing him to attack his own dog too. Then Naruto ran at him from behind and kicked him square in the jaw. After Kiba realized his mistake, Naruto declared he was now gonna use his super secret killer move. The Inuzuka didn't give him a chance however and he started slashing at him with the speed and desperation of a wild animal. However when he came particularly close, Naruto farted in his face.  The horrible smell making Kiba reel back in disgust. Using the distraction to his advantage, created 6 clones and then used a move inspired from Sasuke's Lion Combo, that he named Uzumaki Barrage. With each kick saying a syllable of his name until he kicked Kiba into unconsciousness.

"The winner of the fight is: Naruto Uzumaki!" declared Hayate. Naruto punched the air before also making his way up the platform.

"Good job, Naruto! I knew you could do it!" said Sakura as she gave him a one arm hug, making the blonde laugh.

"Hn. Impressive..." said Sasuke.

"Thanks guys! What did I tell ya, piece of cake!" said Naruto. 

A few minutes later, Hinata came while being pushed from behind by Ino. The Hyūga heiress offered him some ointment, but he refused as he said Sakura could heal him. Sakura's answer was no. "Sorry Naruto, but I'm saving chakra for my fight. But you should take some of the ointment so that the wounds don't get infected." and she nudged him towards Hinata. The blonde took some of the ointment and while he was rubbing his wounds, Ino and Sakura took the moment to high five and giggle like mad man. Shikamaru and Sasuke watched the exchange, before making eye contact and shrugging, since they were already used to the girls being weird like that.

Next fight was between Tenten and Temari. And while Tenten's weapons usage in the fight was very impressive, it was no match for the sand kunoichi's wind jutsus. The battle was basically over before it even started. But the battle that followed next changed Naruto's life, forever. 

Karin Uzumaki vs Shikamaru Nara

"W-wait a minute, Uzumaki? Am I seeing things or is that chick's last name Uzumaki!" said Naruto, not believing his own eyes as he stared at the screen. 

"Huh, it does say Uzumaki..." said Kakashi. "She's probably a relative of yours."

"A relative..." said Naruto, still not believing what was happening.

Sakura put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it gently. "You can probably talk to her once the preliminaries are over."

"Yeah..."

The battle was over in minutes, while Karin did think up a few strategies to defeat Shikamaru, the most notable one being when she spit a cloud of poison and used ninja wire to try and trip him into it, she was no match for the Nara's intellect. She fell to the shadow paralysis jutsu and a head collision with the wall. The medic nins took her away on a stretcher.
