Naruto: Space-Time Lord

After being in front of Hinata, Naruto put his hands inside the ninja bag tool he brought and picked the souvenirs that he want to give to Hinata ''Hinata, you know that I was training outside, right? You see... I was thinking that you would wnat something so I decided to buy souvenirs..'' He said while looking at her.

'N-N-Naruto-kun want to give me a g-gift?' Hinata thought in her mind as her beautiful face changed to a red color, smoke coming out of her head, she almost fainted!

''Oy, oy, Hinata, you ok?'' Naruto was seriously worried, he totally forgot for a moment that Hinata is super shy at this time so he just put the souvenirs at the extended hand of the blue-purplish haired girl and disappeared, leaving only a orange flash behind. (A/N: You should understand that in the manga people have different chakra color, Sasuke having a purple colored chakra and Naruto orange colored chakra, therefore, the orange flash)

Hinata was left shocked and fainted at the spot, she couldn't take when she saw the gift, her beloved actually knew what she likes, the gift is a blue-purplish colored scarf with beautiful white markings and a purple necklace with small, white crystals on it.

''Sister!!'' Hanabi came back to see Naruto but all that she saw was her sister lying in the ground with two things on her hands, looking at it, she discovered the scarf and the necklace, being a smart kid, she instantly connected one with two and thought 'Sister, you won this battle but no the war, um!' Nodding to herself, Hanabi brought her sister to a room.

A few hours later, Naruto could be seen meditating in a rock nearby 'Konoha Great Arena', the nature seemed to move the way he wanted and as he opened his eyes, there was a toad-like pupil instead of his normal pupil and a orange marking around his eyes, obviously, it's the Toad Sage Mode.

'It will start soon, huh... Well, let's go!' Naruto thought to himself before standing up and walking slowly to the Great Arena, he also saw the other eight participants going to the Third Stage location, seeing Sasuke being the nearest of him, he walked to the latter and said "Hey, Sasuke, nervous?"

"No, I'm confident that I will beat the red haired boy even though he have that annoying sand defense" Sasuke said while looking at Gaara, that noticed his gaze and gazed back but after this, he just ignored the black haired Uchiha.

"And you? I heard that the puppet boy is actually very strong, confident?" Sasuke think that Naruto is almost strong as Kakashi but also know that Kankuro is very strong as well so he asked, there was a bit of concern in his tone, while he indeed want to fight Naruto, Sasuke don't want the latter to lose.

"Yup. Kankuro is strong but that's it, I can defeat him without much problem but to make things better and more exciting, I will limit my strength, I don't want others to think I'm more of a freak than I already am.." Naruto said in a carefree manner, Sasuke nodded because while this may seem arrogant, he is confident at Naruto abilities after the latter confirmed it, in the last six months, the yellow haired boy only helped both him and Sakura improve their strengths indirectly by giving hints.

"N-Naruto-kin, I hope you defeat your opponent" They heard a shy voice saying this, turning around, both of them saw Hinata saying this while fidgeting her fingers, while this is what she said, the blue-purplish haired girl was actually thinking 'If something happens to Naruto-kun... I can't guarantee that I won't destroy all of your puppets, sand pupeteer'

Naruto suddenly felt a dangerous vibe going around Hinata but couldn't tell exactly what it was, just that it wasn't directed to him, he then thought of something and nodded while shivering 'I will never anger Hinata in my lifetime...'

The black haired Uchiha also felt this and understood his best friend and rival feelings so knowing the latter love to the girl in front of him, he said "Good luck because you will surely need it..''

Naruto wanted to cry but no tears came, while Sasuke tried to comfort him, it seemed more like he was mocking so he smacked his best friend head "This hurt, idiot! Why you did this?"

The yellow haired boy just ignored him and ran towards 'Konoha Great Arena' while a irritated Uchiha was running at his direction.

In no time, they were already at the Great Arena entrance and looking at each other, they smiled and entered it, at the same time, the remaining seven participants also entered it, Kankuro, who will be the first to battle, was expressionless while thinking 'The yellow haired brat... he's strong, it seems I'll need to be careful..'

Each of them had their own determination and thoughts as they entered the Great Arena, a certain boy had a lazy face as he thought while sighing 'This will be troublesome...'
