After exchanging a few blows, Naruto found out quickly that if he continued to block Yugito, he would get injured. Even now, with him using all his speed and power without holding back. Dealing with the enraged Yugito with her bijuu coat purely with Taijutsu isn't Ideal. He needs to finish this quickly.
He needed to find a way to deal with Yugito as soon as possible.
A chance opened up to him when Yugito overextended while trying to deliver a wild haymaker, which Naruto dodged easily.
Taking his chance, Naruto poured Chakra into and around his right arm before delivering a strong plow to Yugito's abdomen. The strike was so strong that it staggered Yugito, but Naruto didn't stop there.
He immediately followed it with a similar three strikes back to back, using one fist after the other. The combo was delivered so hard and fast that it lifted Yugito off the ground slightly. Naruto finished his attack with a devastating knee strike to Yugito between her throat and chin.
Yugito spat some blood before she was launched into the air, flipping uncontrollably before hitting the arena wall with a thud that cracked the wall.
The Chakra coat around Yugito seemed to calm as she slid down the wall before hitting the ground. Seeing this, Naruto was about to let out a sigh of relief. But that stopped when the coat around Yugito appeared to start boiling, and a second tail began forming.
"You got to be kidding me," Naruto muttered with a fed-up tone. He thought that Yugito would have lost consciousness after the last attack, but she seems to be more resilient than he thought.
'Naruto, you need to stop her now. Use your Chakra chains or something' Kurumi said to Naruto with urgency.
'You know I can't use the chains here. And I already have a plan prepared to deal with her.' Naruto replied
'Then do it quickly. Her second tail is forming. She is either going into the second phase of transformation or, worse, directly to a full bijuu. You wouldn't even have a chance to deal with her without using one of your bloodlines.' Kurumi said with the same urgency
That is something that Naruto is definitely trying to avoid. He can't show off his chakra chains here in Kumo, they already know he is an Uzumaki. No need to give them any more reasons to come after him. And Kami forbid he has to use his Sharingan or Wood Release. That is a definite No. The only ones to know about these two are he, his mother, and his late father. And he intends to keep it that way for now.
'I am going to need you to tell me all about the Jinchuuriki transformations after this is over.' Naruto told Kurumi before cutting his communication with her.
Naruto then looked at his last clone, the one that took a corner away from the fight to prepare something. He nodded at the clone, to which the clone disappeared from the corner in a burst of speed and appeared in front of Yugito.
Yugito, seeing the clone appear in front of her, attacked it instantly, making it disappear in a puff of smoke. But before the clone disappeared, he was able to stick a small paper filled with Kanji on Yugito's forehead before her second chakra tail could completely form.
The effect was almost instantaneous. Yugito's body stopped moving, and she stood still like she was in a daze. The red coat around her started to disappear before it vanished completely.
As soon as the red coat disappeared, Yugito's clouded, rage-filled eyes seemed to clear before rolling back in their socket. After that, Yugito crumbled to the ground, finally unconscious.
'Finally. Fuinjutsu for the win.' Naruto thought to himself as he let out a sigh of relief.
He walked towards Yugito and took back the small Fuinjutsu paper as Isamu appeared beside them.
Isamu knelt for a second beside Yugito to check her before standing back up. His eyes seemed to be filled with some unwillingness before he announced, "Winner by incapacitation, Naruto of Konoha."
The Crowd in the stands, upon hearing this, roared with cheers as they really enjoyed what they had just witnessed.
But not all of the crowd was happy. Most of those from Kumo, especially the Shinobi, had a bitter look on their face.
A Konoha Genin won the Chunin exams on their home turf. That is a very hard pill to swallow.
The medical team entered the arena grounds and rushed towards Yugito. As they checked on her, one of them approached Naruto to check the wounds on his arms and body, but Naruto shook his head as if saying he was fine.
He was actively suppressing his healing factor and Kurumi's Chakra from closing his wounds. He can't have Kumo know that he can heal himself in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Yugito was fine, Naruto started to walk towards the exit while giving a small wave and a nod of appreciation to those cheering for his win.
The Daimyo booth;
"Congratulations, Daimyo-dono. Your country has a very talented young Shinobi." The Lightning Daimyo said with a somewhat forced smile
"Why, thank you. I am very pleased with such a talented young man." Replied the fire Daimyo with a barely contained smile and a thoughtful look as he watched Naruto leave the arena.
In the Kage booth;
"I enjoyed the tournament and my stay in Kumo. Thank you for your hospitality, Raikage-dono." Hiruzen said as he stood up and left the booth, followed by Tsunade and Jiraiya.
He didn't wait for a reply from A as he knew well that the Raikage wasn't in the mood for pleasantries right now. The man seemed to be seconds from blowing up. His dark skin hid his anger quite well; if he had fair skin, he would have been as red as a tomato.
After a couple of seconds, A's fists fell on the table in front of him, smashing it to pieces in anger. He waited until the Hokage's group were far enough before unleashing his anger on the poor table.
"Brother, you know this isn't Yugito's fault, right?" Bee said worriedly, his usual tone absent as he feared that A might take his anger out on his student.
"I know Bee. I saw how tricky the red-haired brat is," A said with barely contained anger as he stood up and left the booth with Bee following closely behind him, while sighing a sigh of relief. A needed to train or destroy something to release this anger while thinking about how to deal with this humiliation.
to be continued.
