Naruto: Winds and Changes

"Don't look away from your opponent Lee," Naruto said. "You can't go to Gai for answers when you're in the middle of a battle. In the middle of a battle your sensei won't be there to hold your hand, and it will be up to you to make the call on when you release your weights. You know that as you are, you won't be able to defeat me. With your weights on I'm simply faster than you."

Lee frowned for a moment, he had always been told to only unseal his weights when he had to protect many important people. It was the only reason he had not fought Neji without his weights. However Naruto made a valid point, Gai-sensei would not always be there so he would need to use his best judgment when in battle.

"You are very right Naruto-kun. Very well." Lee pulled up his orange leg warmers to reveal a set of weights with the kanji for guts and determination, the motto for the Goken style.

Up in the fighter's booth Kankurou snorted. "What does he think a little weight is gonna do. That blond beat Gaara, I hate to admit it, but I don't think any of us would stand a chance against the blond bastard."

BOOM!

A loud crash was heard as Lee threw his weights behind him and they destroyed an entire section of the arena wall.

"So Kakashi. What do you think the chances of your Genin are for winning this fight?" Gai asked as he saw Lee take off his weights.

Kakashi turned around from the battle for a second and looked at Gai, "I'm sorry Gai, did you say something?"

"Grrr! Curse you Kakashi and your hip attitude!" Gai muttered as he turned away from his 'eternal rival'.

Naruto smirked as he looked at the destruction, "You upped your weights didn't you?"

Lee grinned back at Naruto, "Yes I did. Now let us begin!"

This time both of them took off, their speed having increased past what they had been before. The two met in the middle and began to clash furiously; their bodies were merely a blur, untraceable to many even when they stayed grounded.

"Uh…Izumo are my eyes deceiving me?" Kotetsu asked, rubbing his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things.

"I don't know," Izumo stared entranced as he watched the two 'Genin' battle at near Jonin-level speeds. He could barely even see them, "What are you seeing?"

"Are they really moving that fast?"

"At least low Jonin-level speeds."

"…Damn."

The fight began to get even more furious as the two literally smashed into each other. Naruto got right into Lee's guard smashing a fist into his torso. However Lee merely grunted as he launched a devastating kick to the blonde's stomach, chest and then his face. Naruto was sent flying back and skid along the ground. He looked up to see Lee already in his face.

The blond cursed as he ducked under a punch, and attempted to launch an elbow into Lee's ribs. However Lee merely caught the elbow in between his arms, before kicking Naruto in the stomach. Wincing the whiskered blond realized that whatever Lee had done over the past month had made him even better and faster at taijutsu. Better than Naruto was anyway.

Gah! This guy's fucking insane! And people call me a demon, Naruto thought as he ducked under kick and rolled to the left. Kipping back up on his feet the whiskered blond spun around with an axe kick, only for Lee to block it who grabbed onto the leg. With a grunt the bowl cut boy spun in a circle and tossed Naruto, sending him flying through the air before he landed on the arena wall and stuck to it using chakra. Shit! If I hadn't taken off my resistance seals before this fight I would've been toast.

Leave it to Lee to become even more ridiculously strong during the course of one month, rather than waste time on pointless taijutsu when he knew he might not win that way, he began forming his hand seals.

"Fuuton: Kamikaze Seiken!" Naruto sent a fist shaped blast of wind towards his opponent who was currently running towards, however Lee continued his charge and smashed the wind fists away with a well-placed kick.

Unfortunately for Lee, that attack had slowed him down and Naruto was able to close the distance between them striking out with fists and elbows, making the green clad Genin stumble back. Naruto managed to get in several more good hits before Lee recovered and began to block them and make his own assault.

Naruto blocked a punch from the left, and then from the right, however he missed the kick that smashed into his stomach and sent him flying back. Flipping around the blond hit the ground, and looked up to see Lee charging him.

When the bow-cut Genin came in with a high kick, Naruto ducked under it, grabbed the extended leg, lifted the green clad genin up and then threw him into the ground. There was a loud crash as Lee's body created a decent sized crater. The blond shinobi then jumped into the air and attempted to smash an axe kick on Lee. But said boy just rolled out of the way, making Naruto foot smash into the ground, creating another smaller crater. Before he could get back up, Lee smashed a heel in the blonde's face, sending him sailing again.

As Naruto skidded across the ground he flipped through several hand seals, "Fuuton: Renkuudan!"

He smashed a fist on his stomach, blasting out a compressed ball of air. It went sailing towards Lee who tried to hit it away, however the Renkuudan was much stronger than his other jutsu, and it smashed into Lee and tossed him away and sending him sailing into a wall, which he crashed right through.

Naruto used that moment to catch a breather. He looked around to see a lot of craters from their battle.

Man Lee and I are really tearing the place up, a loud crash alerted his attention to the fact that Lee was back in the game.

As Lee charged back in Naruto began more hand seals. "Fuuton: Renkuudan!" This time when the ball of air came at him, the spandex wearing Genin rolled to the side before getting back on his feet and shooting off. Cursing Naruto got back into a taijutsu stance, knowing he would not have enough time to use another jutsu.

As his opponent came in Naruto shifted his head to the left, feeling the air move past him as he dodged Lee's fist, he ducked under another punch before launching an elbow into the other Genin's stomach. Lee grunted and moved back a bit, but did not do much more then that before he was on Naruto again.

"Damn Hokage-dono! How much protein are you feeding these kids?" The Raikage asked, looking at the battle going on in shock. While they were moving in slow motion to him, and Yugito was much faster at her highest speed, the fact that 'Genin' could move this fast was ridiculous.

"You would have to ask their sensei's that," Sarutobi watched the battle with growing pride. To think Naruto-kun would come this far, your parents would be proud of you.

The Kazekage did not comment, and instead just opted to watch the battle.
