Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Arena Annihilation—Teme vs. Temari Windstorm

Chunin Exam arena thundered—stands packed with jonin, kages, and bloodthirsty spectators. Hayate Gekko coughed into mic: "Ren Uchiha vs. Temari of the Sand! Begin!"Temari smirked, giant fan unfolding like doom origami. Gaara glared sibling-support from balcony; Kankuro puppeted nervously. Orochimaru (disguised) slithered shadows, Kabuto scribbling notes.Ren Uchiha cracked neck, two-tomoe Sharingan blazing blue-red. "Big fan—literally. Let's gust things up!"Temari swung—Fuuton: Great Breakthrough! Gale hurricane hurled debris, cratering ground.Crowd whoa'd. Naruto (injured balcony) yelled, "Blow her away, slime-bro!"Predictable opener, Ren thought. Sage—flow analysis.[Wind density: High. Trajectory mapped. Counter: Absorb + amplify.]Ren melted low—slime puddle surfed the blast, tendrils latching arena edge. Reformed mid-leap: "Slime Surf!" Gale boosted him supersonic.Temari blinked. "What—?" Fan slam two—Kamaitachi! Sickle weasels shredded air.Sharingan whirled—perfect copy. Ren mimicked fan swing (air synth)—Wind Sickle Clash! Blades canceled in explosion."Copycat!" Temari snarled, unfolding full. Dai Kamaitachi! Massive whirlwind tornado.Ren grinned maniacally. "Upgrade time!" Body ballooned—10m slime titan, maw gaping. Predator Vortex! Tornado sucked in—winds, chakra, arena chunks glorped.[Fuuton mastery absorbed: Great Breakthrough, Kamaitachi full. Wind core +55%. Fusion brewing.]Temari staggered. "Impossible! My wind—gone?!""Eaten. Now mine." Ren compressed—humanoid again, hair whipping wild. "Ultimate Fuuton: Slime Tempest!"Arms windmilled—hyper-condensed tornado erupted, three-pronged dragon roaring. Arena shook; barriers cracked.Temari braved fan block—shattered. She flew back, bloodied but standing. "Monster..."Guy bellowed: "REN-KUN'S YOUTH EXPLODES!"Neji nodded. "Fate... bent."Hayate signaled. "Yield?"Temari spat, raising hand. "I... forfeit."Roars deafened. "Uchiha slime wins!"Ren helped her up—slime bandage on cuts (regen share). "Good fight. Fan tech OP—Predator respects."Temari flushed (respect, not romance). "Tch. Rematch post-invasion."Hiruzen smiled pipe-puff. Orochimurou's eyes gleamed. Divine specimen.Next rounds blurred: Lee vs. Gaara tragedy loomed. Ren spectated, absorbing vibes.Invasion night: Sound/Sand strike. Orochimaru's forces swarmed; Shukaku rampaged.Team 9 mobilized. Guy Gate 3'd—green nuke vs. Sound jonin.Ren/Neji/Lee trio: Sound squad rematch—Dosu upgraded, Zaku arms dual-cursed."Payback!" Zaku air-cannoned.Ren Slime Tempest countered—sucked blasts, spat Vibration Shredders (Dosu synth). Arms exploded.Neji shut tenketsu; Lee primary-lotused.Orochimaru slithered near—tongue scout. "Uchiha... join me. Power beyond slime."Ren grinned, tomoe three-flickering (surge). "Predator Prime." Tongue tendril snatched—chomp.[Snake chakra partial! Cursed Seal blueprint. Resistance 92%. Orochimaru alert: Peak.]Orochimaru recoiled, hissing delight. "Fascinating! Sasuke and you? Harvest time!"He retreated—Shukaku smashed. Naruto toads in.Ren reformed, buzzing. [Evolution threshold: 95%. Three Tomoe imminent.]Post-invasion: Wounds licked. Hiruzen awarded promo teases. "Chunin consideration—Ren, exemplary."Guy tears: "ETERNAL RIVALS WITH KAKASHI!"Ramen victory: Full genin crew. Naruto hugged. "You tempested her! Epic!"Sasuke: "Stronger than expected."Ren toasted. "Next arc: Retrieval. Orochimaru's my snack now."Sage pinged: [Power spike: Wind Lord affinity. Team legend status. Plot pivot: Sasuke defection inbound.]Rooftop solo: Ren spawned wind-clones sparring. Three-tomoe stabilized—MS tease. "Snake dinner awaits."Konoha's slime storm brewed bigger. Exams conquered—warpath opened.Orochimaru schemed lair: "Two Uchiha prizes... exquisite."Rampage roared on.
