< > fights the greatest ninja ever, NARUTO!!

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Naruto was looking up at the sky with a look of ambition and excitement on his face. Then he began looking around the arena, and then at the arena entrance. He yelled at no one as he said,
"WELL ALRIGHT!! IF ANYONE WANTS TO FIGT JUST BRING IT ON!!"

[Kyuuketsuki Zambatuo]

Body Flickering behind Naruto, Zam whispered in his ear, smirking, "Your don't need to yell, I can hear you just fine. I'm always up for having a good spar."

[Uzumaki Naruto]

"AHHHHH!!!" Naruto screamed as he fell flat on his face after his challenger sneaking up on him. Naruto jumped to his feet and yelled at his opponent,
"HEY!! DON'T SNEAK UP ON ME LIKE THAT!!!" He yelled in somewhat of a comic mannor but changed his mood completely to look as serious as can be. He stood with his legs sprad apart a little and his two index and middle finger were put into a cross.
"Alright then," Naruto said, "Let's not waste any time. KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!!!" Out of nowhere nine more Narutos appeared. He again yelled but this time to the clones,
"ALRIGHT GUYS, LET'S GET HIM!!!"

[Kyuuketsuki Zambatuo]

"Ah Kage Buunshin no Jutsu. As expected from a Chuunin of the Hidden Leaf. Let's see, only 9 clones? I'll match that." Zam said, mockingly.

Zam bent down and picked 9 blades of grass from the ground, after gathering 9, Zam threw them in the air and preformed a handseal similar to Naruto's. "Kusa Buunshin no Jutsu!" Instantly, the blades of grass turned into clones of their master. As they landed, Zam explained, "This is the Kyuuketsuki version of Buushin no Jutsu. Unlike your shadow clones however, mine can preform any of my jutsu's of their own free will. Because I use grass as the core of the clones and grass is a living thing, each clone is a almost complete copy of me in every way. They even bleed."

[Uzumaki Naruto]

"OH WELL," Naruto screamed, "I'M STILL GONNA KICK YOUR BUTT, BELIEVE IT!!!" He and his clones charged at Zambatuo. Two of the clones jumped into the air and threw some shuriken and the rest charged right in to go into hand to hand combat. The real Naruto, however, jumped over the clones with the help of one of his copies, and attempted to land a hit on the real Zam.

[Kyuuketsuki Zambatuo]

Doing a set of 5 hand seals: Rat, Boar, Horse, Rat, Ox, his clones following suit and doing the hand seals as well, Zam and the clones said "Kusa Tama no Jutsu!"

Suddenly, blades of grass rose up from the ground and shot at all the clones like senbon needles. When each blade of grass hit the clones, Zam heard the familiar poof of the clones dissipating. With only the real Naruto flying at him, Zam sidestepped to the right to avoid contact with Naruto's chakra.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Naruto's attack missed and he fell onto the ground, sliding about two feet. Seeing how easily Zam and his clones deafeted Naruto's, he became angry and a bit jealous of Zam's skill.
Well," Naruto said, "LOOKS LIKE I'LL JUST HAVE TO MAKE MORE CLONES!!! TAJUU KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!!!" Again out of nowhere, the clones appeared but this time there was at least one hundred of them.
"Heh heh," Naruto laughed, " Just try and stop one hundred of my shadow clones. NOW, GO!!"
Naruto's clones jumped into the air and all spread apart. Once they were, they each threw at least six shuriken.
Naruto laughed as he said, "HA, JUST TRY AND STOP MY SHIHOU HAPPOU SHURIKEN NO MAKI!!" He wacthed from the ground as the wave of shuriken headed in Zam and his clones' direction.

[Kyuuketsuki Zambatuo]

"Kai! Zam yelled, releasing his clones. "I proved my point with those."

Forming more hand seals: Rat, Horse, Boar, and holding the last hand seal and saying "Shinme Konpon no Jutsu ", suddenly, roots began sprouting from Zam's feet, anchoring him to the ground.

Once he was securely rooted to the spot, Zam said, "Kusa O Kaze stance.". Once the words had left his mouth, Zam shoulder's slumped downward and he began swaying to and fro and seemingly impossible angles.

Apparently in a trance, Zam swiftly dodged each one of the shurikens as they came at him. Although he was fast, one shuriken managed to hit him in his right shoulder. But by the look of it, the pain didn't even register. He was charging his 50 lb fist jutsu. Pumping chakra into his hands, till they weighed the same as 50 lb weights. Slowly, Zam's closed fists began to glow a dull yellow color. He only need 10 more secs to charge the right amount of chakra into his fists. More than enough time.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

"AHHH," Naruto yelled, "How could you have dodgd all of those shuriken!?!? No matter, lets see you withstand my next attack!! Tajuu Kage Bunshin no jutsu!!" More clones were created out of thin air. There was now at least one thousand clones.
"NOW ZAMBATUO!!," Naruto yelled, "GET READY!! YONSEN RENDAN!!"
Every clone charged straight at Zam to attempt to connect two thousand blows directly to his body.

[Kyuuketsuki Zambatuo]

Barely hearing what Naruto was saying from his trance, Zam counted it down, 4..3..2..1...0!!!

He had finally charged enough chakra into his fists. Releasing the roots that embedded him in the ground, Zam sent a punch, not at any of the clones, but straight into the ground, causing a wave of earth to raise up about 6 feet and rush at the clones. "25 lb fists: Daichi Kujiku Sentou, Earth Shattering Strike!!" Zam yelled.

As the wave contacted the clones, each one dissipated, till it finally reached the real Naruto. "No matter how many clones you create, I'll swat them done like flies, Naruto."

[Uzumaki Naruto]

"YEA WELL I BET YOU CAN'T STOP FOUR THOUSAND SHADOW CLONES!!! TAJUU KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!!" Naruto yelled as four thousand more clones appeared out of air.
"ALRIGHT, TIME FOR YOU TO TASTE MY BEST TAIJUTSU TECHNIQUE, YONSEN RENDAN!!" The four thousand clones leaped high into the air and spread into different directions until they surrounded the area above Zam. They all begun to force their way to the ground, ready to attack Zam.

[Kyuuketsuki Zambatuo]

"You sure are stubborn, Naruto. Your more like Kyuubi than you'd like to admit, kid." Zam snickered.

As the clones surrounded him, Zam knew had already planned a solution. Zam jumped straight into the air and came down, punching the ground as he landed. Unlike the punch that caused the wave of earth, this one created a shockwave that radiated out in all directions, destroying the clones as it passed by them.

"You sure have been entertaining Naruto, but I'm going to end this now." Zam began taking of his trench coat. As he did, Naruto could spot a glint of metal reflecting off the sun in the inner lining of coat. Taking off the coat, revealing a black sleeveless shirt underneath, Zam let it hit the ground, creating a small crater where it landed. "That's much better." Zam said, rolling his shoulder's and pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

"That there is my training coat, it weighs roughly 250 lbs and without it..." Zam explained, and suddenly appearing behind Naruto, "....I'm much much faster. I'm going to drain enough of your chakra no to make you slip into unconscienceness and then I'll take you to the hospital to make sure you didn't overexert yourself." Zam explained, placing a hand on Naruto's head.

((This really isn't the end if your don't want it to be, remember you still have Kyuubi's chakra to use. *wink*))

[Uzumaki Naruto]

(( lol, trust me, i didn't forget ))

"Wha, where'd he go?!?" Naruto asked himself in a paniced voice.
"....I'm much much faster," Zam bragged, "I'm going to drain enough of your chakra no to make you slip into unconscienceness and then I'll take you to the hospital to make sure you didn't overexert yourself."
Naruto felt Zam's hand touch his head and suddenly felt his chakra leaving him.
"Ahhh!! What's going on!?!?" Naruto exclaimed. He felt dizzy and tired from the loss of chakra. "NO! You won't beat me! I'm going to be Hokage one day and not you, or anybody else can stop me, BELIEVE IT!!"
Naruto jumped away frfom Zam and he began to focus his chakra. When his eyes opened, his pupils were long and much narrower.
"Haaah," naruto breathed in an echoed voice, "thats better, just try and beat me now." He began charging straight at Zam and attempted a strong punch towards Zam's face.

[Kyuuketsuki Zambatuo]

Leaning to the right to dodge the punch, Zam aimed a chop to the back of Naruto's next, absorbing some of Kyuubi's chakra with the hit and sending Naruto reeling passed him. "The closer you get to me, the stronger you make me. You see, my clan has a genetic defect. Our bodies don't produce chakra naturally. To compensate for this lack of chakra, our Tengeksu absorb chakra instead of pumping it out like yours. Our Tengeksu can even absorb chakra from the air and if I touch someone, if forceably pulls out their chakra from their Tengeksu. The more chakra I absorb and store, the more of my jutsu's I can use. Now that your activated Kyuubi's chakra, it's like a buffet to me." Zam explained, adding additional chakra into his fists, giving them the weight of 50 lbs instead of the 25 lbs like before.

"Oh yea and this..." lefting up his fists, which were glowing a brighter shade of yellow than before, "Because my Tengeksu absorbs chakra instead of pumping it out, I can concentrate chakra into my hands, but instead of it coming out, it converts to weight. And with my current stores of chakras, I can do up to 1,000 lbs of weight into my fists. But that will be overkill for you. I believe 50 lbs should be enough."

[Uzumaki Naruto]

During Zam's "speech" Naruto was still on the ground. How could he beat an enemy that can absorb his chakra? He closed his eyes and let his head fall back. In his mind, he once again saw Kyuubi caged within him.
"So," Kyuubi said in an evil voice, "You require my help once again I see." Naruto starred, frightened so he could not move, "Hmph, you're pathetic, but I will grant you my power again." Naruto's eye's opened as a red chakra which was covering his body, lifted him up off the ground. When he was up, his chakra was charging on it's own and he felt more power than he had ever felt before. Behind him, three tails of red chakra were waving in the power.
"Well," Naruto said in an eviler voice, "If Ican get near you, I won't!" Just then two Kyuubi claws extended from Naruto's body and began extending, directly towards Zambatuo.
