= Kiba and Naruto, Mother and Neji =
                          
The battle began, as Kiba activated his All-Fours Jutsu.
                          
'I'll crush you!' Kiba said arrogantly, as Akamaru growled at the blond.
                          
'Well, we'll have to wait and see!' Naruto said. 'Fire Release: Flame Phoenix Shuriken!'
                          
A fiery shuriken formed on Naruto's palm as Akamaru transformed into a clone of Kiba. Naruto hurled the shuriken at Kiba, who smelled the burning smell of the chakra sphere and quickly weaved handseals.
                          
'Water Release: Water Bullet!' Kiba and Akamaru exclaimed, as they both shot out water, hoping to extinguish Naruto's attack.
                          
It didn't work.
                          
Kiba and Akamaru quickly stepped out of the way, as the shuriken suddenly swerved over to the Inuzuka and his ninken.
                          
'Chakra string.' Naruto said, as his fingers moved swiftly.
                          
'How is this boy so skilled?' The other genin not from Konoha thought.
                          
'We'll have to attack, Akamaru!' Kiba exclaimed. 'Fang over Fang!'
                          
The ninken and his owner rotated their bodies at high speeds, drilling into the ground and attacking Naruto, who stepped out of the way at high speeds.
                          
'How can he dodge?' Kiba wondered, as he continued attacking. 'This doesn't work! Move back, Akamaru!'
                          
Kiba quickly swallowed a soldier pill and tossed one to Akamaru, as their chakra levels increased rapidly.
                          
Naruto smirked. 'Finally getting serious, aren't you.'
                          
Kiba growled, as he prepared his strongest jutsu. 'Combination Transformation: Two Headed Wolf!'
                          
Akamaru and Kiba merged into a huge white wolf with sharp claws and two sets of fangs.
                          
'I was wondering when I would see that jutsu.' Naruto said. 'Time for a new jutsu! Wind Release: Wind Barrier!'
                          
A wall of wind formed in front of Naruto.
                          
'That won't work! Wolf Fang over Fang!' Kiba shouted, as the wolf spun rapidly, breaking the barrier.
                          
'Gotta say, I'm impressed. But that's not enough!' Naruto said, dodging and clapping his hands.
                          
'We've gotta attack again!' Kiba said, as he struck Naruto again.
                          
'Earth Release: Rock Hard Arm!' Naruto solidified his arm, blocking another strike. 'Well, this is fun. Time to go again! Wind Release: Super Wind Explosion!'
                          
A burst of wind propelled a few fuinjutsu tags towards Kiba, as Naruto weaved the Seal of Confrontation.
                          
'Release.'
                          
The fuinjutsu tags unsealed, as more wind and explosive tags gushed out. The extra wind increased the speed of the attack. As the explosive tags collided with Kiba, the wind pushed the Inuzuka back. Then the tags exploded.
                          
'Winner: Naruto Uchiha.' Minato spat. 'The next showdown will be between Hyuga Neji and Sabaku Gaara.'
                          
'How does the Naruto boy know an A-Rank jutsu?' The jonin wondered.
                          
Gaara's sand swirled around the Sunagakure genin, making a platform to transport him down. Neji prepared to fight.
                          
'Byakugan!'
                          
'Mother wants your blood. Sand Coffin.' Gaara said monotonously.
                          
Tiny specks of sand traveled towards Neji, who smiled.
                          
'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!' Neji said, as he exhaled a huge burst of wind, sending the sand flying away.
                          
'Mother, what shall I do...' Gaara asked.
                          
'Kill him, Gaara.' Shukaku boomed.
                          
'Yes Mother.' Gaara replied.
                          
Neji prepared to fight.
                          
'Sand Shuriken.' Gaara said, as he shaped his sand into sharp shuriken and fired it at Neji.
                          
'I can't get hit as he can manipulate sand if it's on me but I don't have enough time to dodge...' Neji thought.
                          
'Palm Rotation!' Neji shouted as he spun around, creating a tightly knit chakra net without holes, blocking Gaara's Shuriken. 'Chakra Dragon!'
                          
The chakra that Neji had released formed twin dragons under the Hyuga's control.
                          
'His seal is faulty. Get the dragons to fix the seal.' Naruto's voice buzzed in Neji's ears.
                          
The Hyuga nodded. The dragons swooped in towards Gaara, too fast for his sand to react, as Neji started weaving hand seals.
                          
'Ushi, Tatsu, Tori, Tatsu, Hitsuji, Tatsu, Ne, I, U, Tatsu, Hitsuji...' Neji said, as the dragons circled Gaara and attached themselves onto Gaara's stomach.
                          
The dragons churned, as the seal finally repaired itself.
                          
'Let's finish this! Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!' Neji ran in, then started targeting Gaara's tenketsu. 'One Palm, Two Palms, Four Palms, Eight Palms, Sixteen Palms, Thirty-Two Palms, Sixty-Four Palms!'
                          
Gaara fell to the ground as Neji sighed.
                          
'The seal is fixed.' Neji thought.
                          
'The winner is Hyuuga Neji!' Minato announced.
                          
'How...' Kankuro and Temari thought. 'How are they so good? Gaara was touched....'
                          
Meanwhile, in one Yondaime's mind, dirty things were happening.
                          
'His eyes are perfect for my little angels.' Minato thought.
                          
===
                          
Will Gaara recover from the seal upgrade?
                          
Who's eyes are Minato looking for?
                          
How will the next battle, Rock Lee against Hyuga Hinata, turn out?
