Naruto is Reincarnated Chapter 42: Second Stage Over; Brothers...

"Now then let the Tenth match begin!"

Shikamaru yelled.

"Do your best!"

"Fatso!" Ino added.

("THE NERVE FOR HER TO CALL ME THAT.")

"DAMN IT!"

"Those two better watch out!"

"I'll end this match quickly and turn you into mincemeat!" Chouji spoke in anger.

"Then let's not play around…"

"I'll finish you off quickly…"

"Mr.Fatso." Dosu said in a respectful voice.

Chouji couldn't let the comment slide by.

"You bandaged cucumber roll!"

("I know his Achilles heel all too well from my last battle with him")

("Those holes in his arm emit a pulsing sound, so…")

Chouji joined his fingers.

< Ninja Art - Expansion Jutsu! >

Chouji body along with his clothes expanded into a Giant ball.

"Followed by the Hidden Leaf-style Taijutsu!"

Chouji withdrew his limbs one by one after which, Chakra started to flow out like a jet,

("All I have to do is to prevent him from aiming at my ears!")

< Human Boulder Jutsu >

"Hooray for the big-boned people" Chouji shouted as he rolled his way over towards Dosu.

("What kind of funny technique is this?")

("Moreover Hidden Leaf-style?")

("Is there a clan that has this kind of jutsu as their base?") Dosu thought as he kept jumping back, avoiding the giant rolling Chouji while slowly guiding him towards the wall.

(Boom!)

Chouji rolled his way over, only to hit the wall.

Dosu succeeded in his plans and jumped towards Chouji.

"The way you are…."

"You can barely move, can you?"

He then raised his right hand where his sound tool was located on.

"That's where I attack!" Dosu announced as he landed on the ground near Chouji and thrust his left hand straight into Chouji's clothes, finally making contact with Chouji's body.

"It's no use; I'm wearing earplugs," Chouji said in a muffled voice.

("Like that's going to help you, fatso!") Dosu laughed in his mind as he said.

"No, this is the end!"

He then tapped the sound generating tool using his left hand which created minor sound waves that sent ripples across Chouji's body finally incapacitating him.

Chouji then landed on the ground, with his eyes in spirals like a fainted Pokémon.

"The human body is made up of 70% water and water is able to transmit sound waves."

"In other words, your whole body is like one big ear." Dosu concluded after he defeated Chouji.

(Cough!)

"The winner is, Kinuta Dosu!" Hayate Announced.

("Orochimaru-sama…")

("No, Orochimaru…")

("I'll have you know that I'm more than a mere guinea pig.") Dosu thought in his mind as he walked away.

Meanwhile, the medics arrived near Chouji.

"I-I want to eat meat…" Chouji blurted pitifully.

"Oh man…"

"The sound guy went easy on him, too…" Shikamaru sulked.

"It's Alright!"

"Although he lost, the least we could do is take him for some BBQ beef." Asuma comforted Shikamaru.

(Cough!)

"It's finally over…" Hayate felt relieved as he announced.

"All the ten Genins who have passed the second stage, please assemble here!" Hayate said as he pointed to the battle floor in front of him.

"With this, the preliminaries for the third exam is completed."

"To everyone who has advanced to the Final Round of the third stage of the Chuunin Exams."

"CONGRATULATIONS!"

"I will now hand over to the Third Hokage!" Hayate concluded and left the stage.

("At long last, the Final Round…")

("We have six Leaf ninjas")

("Three sand and one sound ninjas") Hiruzen thought as he looked towards Naruto who was standing in the midst of the ten Genins that had assembled on the stage.

("Naruto will easily win this, As for the others, only they might have some interesting outcomes.") Hiruzen thought as he looked towards Gaara and Sasuke.

Sasuke also looked towards Naruto.

("I need to train, I want to become as strong as him…")

("No…")

("I have to surpass him…")

FlashBack Cannon version

"Foolish little Brother."

< Mangekyou Sharingan >

Sasuke relived the experience of Itachi killing others in the clan, except that he was right in front of it, unable to do anything as he stared in horror.

Soon Sasuke fell on to the floor losing all his strength but still kept staring at his brother.

"W-Why…?"

"Why did you…?"

"Elder Brother…?"

Itachi stared at his little brother as though he had no emotions.

"To measure my abilities…" He said.

"Measure your abilities…?"

"Just for that?" Sasuke felt hatred and powerlessness.

"Are you saying that you that…"

"Just for that…you killed them all?" Sasuke asked while he grieved for his kin's deaths.

"That is of great importance," Itachi said.

Sasuke's hatred had reached his limits.

"What do you mean…?" Sasuke asked as he stood up slowly.

He looked towards Itachi, the man who had murdered them all.

"WWAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Sasuke howled as he started running towards Itachi.

"DON'T TALK RUBBISH!"

Itachi bent towards the running Sasuke and sent a low blow to the gut.

(Blergh!) Sasuke felt his organs rush to his mouth as fell on the ground once again.

Sasuke lifted his head in pain, only to see the corpses of his parents that lay motionless in front of him.

Tears started to gush out.

(Step!) Itachi placed his foot in front of Sasuke.

Sasuke felt extremely scared.

("What if he killed me too?") He thought as he started running towards the door while screaming…

"I'm Scared!"

Sasuke kept running in a hopeless attempt as he ran across the streets that were littered in corpses.

"AAAHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" Sasuke screamed, seeing all the corpses that played by the side, which were just alive a few hours ago….

"Don't kill me!!!!!!!" He screamed while having tears run out his eyes uncontrollably.

("No Way!") Sasuke thought as he came to a stop only to see Itachi standing in front of him once again.

"Don't kill me!" Sasuke begged.

Itachi stared down at the little brother of his.

"You are not even worth killing…"

Sasuke finally felt a sense of hope, yet a sense of shame, despite which he could only watch his elder brother in fear as he spoke…

"Foolish little brother…"

"If you want to kill me, begrudge me!, Hate me!"

"And keep on surviving in that unsightly manner…"

"Just continue fleeing and fleeing and hang onto your life!"

"I don't believe it!" Sasuke interrupted.

"This is too unlike you Brother."

"I mean…"

"The reason I acted as the big brother you desired was…because I wanted to measure your vessel." Itachi interrupted

"You have the potential to become my opponent…in order for me to measure my vessel."

"You hated me…"

"And you continued to have the desire to surpass me, That's exactly why I will allow you to live…"

"for my own benefit."

"You are someone who could be able to use Mangekyou Sharingan just like me."

"However, on one condition."

"That you must kill your closest friend…"

"One day, when you have the same eyes as I do..."

"Come and stand before me!"

Sasuke thought as he saw Naruto.

FlashBack Chapter 28

"They are known as the eyes that reflect the heart."

"The fact is that the Senju clan was perceived as the clan that preached Love and the Uchiha as the clan that followed power."

"But the truth was that there was no clan that felt Love more than the Uchiha clan….." Naruto concluded.

"Love…." Sasuke thought as he remembered his childhood days…..

"Sasuke, I hope this has broadened your mind."

"I'm sure that no one in the Uchiha clan, ever realized this truth as such even you were unaware of it though you had awakened your Sharingan….."

Sasuke nodded as he thought back to the time when he first confronted Naruto, awakening his Sharingan as a result.

"I am sorry, I cannot tell you anything about your brother, even if we are going to talk with Shikamaru tomorrow, But I can tell you this…."

"I will tell you the truth about your brother if you defeat me in battle one day…"

Sasuke looked towards Naruto feeling hope rise up in his heart once again, as he regained his former expression of arrogance once again.

"Prepare to lose!" Sasuke said as he walked back

"Do you believe that I am from the future?" Naruto asked again.

("Naruto!") Sasuke glared at him, feeling hopeless from his elder brother's pressure.

("I will surpass you!")
