"Are both fighters ready?" asked Naruto, receiving a nod from each fighter in turn. Naruto's hand made a slashing motion, "then Hajime!"
Renji pulled his katana from his sheath as he charged towards the Iwa genin, who was currently going through hand seals. When Kaen was finished he slammed his hand into the ground and shouted.
"Doton: Doroku Gaeshi! (Earth Release: Earth Shield)"
An earth wall appeared before Renji, forcing the Kiri swordsman to swerve and change course. While this was happening the Iwa shinobi was going through more hand seals, finishing them just as Renji appeared on the left hand side.
"Doton: Doryuu Dango!"
A giant mud ball was launched out of Kaen's mouth, heading on a collision course with the Kiri genin. However Renji poured some chakra to the bottom of his feet, putting on a burst of speed and dodging to the right. He then came in close to Kaen and aimed a slash at the other genin's head, however Kaen was able to keep out of the way for the most part and only had his jacket slashed. He took out a kunai as Renji charged again, the two were soon fighting a close quarter's battle. As the fight progressed it became clear that Renji was better, not only did he have a sword which extended his reach but he was just plain more talented. In the end Renji made the Iwa genin duck under a slash, and then smashed his foot right into the man's face sending the Iwa genin sprawling to the ground, unconscious.
"Winner by knock out is Renji Abari!" Naruto announced as the red haired genin went back to his team.
The next match was between a Kumo shinobi named Raiden, and a Konoha genin called Datenta Onmikotsu. The battle was fairly well matched until Raiden starting channeling lightning chakra into his hands, making it so that even if Datenta was not hit he would still get a mild shock. The Konoha genin eventually received so many electrical burns that he just ended up passing out from the pain.
'Konohamaru Sarutobi vs. Notaru Ikaze.'
"Alright!" Konohamaru shouted as he forsook the stairs, and simply jumped over the railing. Landing on the floor with a spring in his step, he looked at his opponent and grinned.
The other genin was a Kusa shinobi who was fairly tall and had a blocky build, obviously he was a taijutsu fighter. He did not react to Konohamaru's eagerness, and merely got into his taijutsu stance.
"Are both fighter's ready?" asked Naruto receiving a nod from Notaru.
"Of course I'm ready!" Konohamaru yelled, "Let's do this!"
Naruto grinned, "then Hajime!"
Notaru kicked off the ground and rushed towards Konohamaru, meanwhile the young Sarutobi was going through several hand seals. When finished he placed a hand to his mouth, as he called out his jutsu.
"Katon: Gokyakou No Jutsu!"
A decent sized fire ball shot from Konohamaru's mouth, and barreled towards Notaru who was forced to roll to the right in order to avoid being burnt to a crisp. When he got back up it was to notice that Konohamaru was not in his original position, the Kusa genin was about to look around when he was forced to roll in order to avoid several kunai. Coming up he turned to the left and saw Konohamaru going through several more hand seals, he rushed up to the Konoha genin just as the young Sarutobi slammed his hands into the ground.
"Doton: Doryuu Taiga! (Earth style: Earth Flow River!)"
A river of mud came out from the ground and smashed into the Kusa shinobi, knocking the man off balance. Naruto saw Konohamaru go through even more hand signs, and recognized that the young boy was going to use one of Hiruzen's favorite collaboration jutsu.
"Katon: Endan! (Fire Release: Fire Bullet)"
A small flame bullet was launched from Konohamaru's mouth, igniting the mud river and consuming everything in it. The Konoha genin waited to see if his jutsu had worked, only to be surprised when he did not see Notaru anywhere. That changed when he fist rammed into the back of his head, sending the young boy sprawling across the ground. Thankfully Konohamaru was able to flip himself up and dodge another attack, thus began a taijutsu battle between the two. However Konohamaru despite being decent in taijutsu was not as good as the larger boy, he was forced to weave and dodge between strikes as bruises from several hits appeared on his skin. Realizing that he had to get out of the boys reach, Konohamaru grabbed several smoke pellets from his pouch and threw them into the ground.
Managing to slip around the Kusa ninja's guard, Konohamaru gained some distance and tried to think of a plan. He had already used to much chakra, those three jutsu were C to B rank and more than most genin could perform. That left close quarter's combat, however taijutsu was out of the question. Grabbing a scroll from his back, Konohamaru unsealed its contents to reveal a long black staff. He got into the Sarutobi style boujutsu stance, as he waited for the smoke to clear.
When it did Konohamaru ran at Notaru, launching a strike from the left. As the other man went to block Konohamaru switched and struck from the right, smacking the genin across his shoulder and making him stumble a bit. With the added reach and versatility the staff offered to the boy, Konohamaru was able to drive Notaru back. Eventually managing to crack the other genin in the back of the head, making the boy crumble to the floor.
"Winner by knockout is Konohamaru Sarutobi!" Naruto said with a grin.
"YES!" Konohamaru jumped into the air, "I'm the best!" He ran up the stairs to where his team mates were, getting congratulations from them.
The next match was between the last Iwa shinobi, a tall man called Hitore Gozan. And a Suna shinobi with black hair and green eyes, who went by the name Juka Carotake. The fight lasted a little longer than the others, as it was a pure taijutsu match and their styles contrasted with and counter acted each other. Hitore used his muscle and weight to give hard, heavy hits that broke bones. While Juka's style relied on speed, flexibility and counter attacking, but he could not do as much damage to the Iwa genin. Eventually though Juka was able to win by launching a senbon into the other genin's neck, knocking the genin out cold.
'Moegi Utatane vs. Hanabi Hyuuga.'
The two fighters walked down to the arena floor and glared at each other, Naruto could tell they had some kind of rivalry going on. As the two stood on opposite sides Naruto looked at them, "are both fighters ready?" he asked and got a nod from each. "Then Hajime!"
Moegi threw several kunai at the Hyuuga girl, knowing that close range with her was suicide. Hanabi merely dodge and blocked the kunai, before continuing on her way towards the orange haired girl. Moegi began to back pedal as she continued throwing kunai, trying to gain some distance between them. Unfortunately for the orange haired genin, Hanabi was the worst possible opponent for her. Moegi was a genjutsu and medical ninja type, and she had not been training under Tsunade long enough to learn the woman's secret strength technique. Genjutsu would not work on Hanabi, and her taijutsu was only subpar since she rarely used it.
Despite this disadvantage when Hanabi managed to close the distance, Moegi stepped up her game and tried her best against the taijutsu specialist. The battle was not as long as the others, Moegi was only able to get in a few good hits as her tenketsu points were closed. When Moegi fell unconscious due to too many tenketsu points being closed, Naruto was forced to call the match.
"Winner by knockout is Hanabi Hyuuga!"
Said girl began to walk back up to the balcony, while the board began to call names again.
'Rukia Kuchiki vs. Talia Notami.'
Naruto watched as the two girls came down, neither really spoke. Talia the last Kusa genin took the left, while Rukia stood on the right and unsheathed her sword.
