   Bizarre Love Triangle, Chapter 17!!!
Well, here's the start of the tournament! A few of the characters will die, but not the original shinobi!! BTW, I won't be putting up AEGFF this week... I'm not sure how to say what I'd like to in that chapter... anyway, here's Bizarre Love Triangle. Enjoi!

Chapter 17

The day of the tournament came, and both the Konoha shinobi and the Kage no Jinchu were worried. They’d found out about Tsunade’s survival, and Moroi had been punished for being unable to complete the job. However, the enemy shinobi were prepared, and were waiting in the ring of a large stadium which had popped up out of nowhere over night. Naruto, Kiba, Hinata and Hihana arrived only to find two people inside; a girl with long, blonde hair, and a young man covered in strange markings and with short, brown hair.

“Hey! There are supposed to be a bunch of you!” Hihana shouted, pointing accusingly at the shinobi, “where are all the others?” She was obviously hyper again, and was practically bouncing on the spot. The others backed away from her, as if they didn’t know her, and let the enemies speak up.

“Well, we’re the first tier of the tournament,” The girl said, her voice far off and dreamy, “you’ll get to fight them if you survive us.” She shrugged, yawning and swaying slowly on the spot. The male shinobi began moving his puppet around, the second one still strapped to his back.

“My name’s Guujin, and she’s Haruka.” Guujin stated, looking over the shinobi, “and we call in the loudmouth and that blond guy for the first fight. If you two win, you all move into the next round. This is a fight to the death; so long as either of us still breathes, the battle will continue.” Then, without warning, he sent the puppet after Hihana, who jumped up and kicked off its head. She yelled something unintelligible, then began running for the puppet master, leaving Haruka for Naruto to face.

She moved towards him slowly, making hand seals as she did. He began conjuring the rasengan, swirling his hands to create the ball of air. Haruka then called out the name of her jutsu, having created ball lightning in her hands. Being a cloud ninja had its perks. She fired it at Naruto, but he jumped out of the way, not expecting it to come back to Haruka the way it had come. It struck him in the back, causing him excruciating pain. However, he somehow survived, the rasengan still formed perfectly in hand. She grinned, the ball of electricity still in her hand.

“You can give up, if you want.” Haruka called, her voice still sounding faraway even though he was only a few feet from her now, “I won’t kill you if you do.” Fortunately, she wasn’t very observant, and was hit in the stomach with the ball of chakra and air. She cried out in surprise and was sent flying through the air, until she hit the far wall in the back, leaving a gigantic dent. She slumped to the floor, hitting her face on the ground as she fell forward. Haruka would never get up again.

Hihana wasn’t faring as well with her opponent as Naruto had. When she’d actually hit the puppet master, he turned out to be a puppet as well, the real person having been bandaged and tied to its back all along. His puppets were strong, and all he had to do was stand there and wiggle his fingers. She growled at the man, then made several hand seals, grinning at the wooden puppets.

“KATON GOUKAKYUU NO JUTSU! ART OF THE GRAND FIREBALL!” Hihana yelled, the gigantic ball of fire easily burning the puppets. This surprised the puppet master, but what surprised him more was finding out that chakra was flammable. The flames shot up the glowing threads and set him ablaze as well. He had time to scream before the rest of the fireball caught him too, incinerating him completely.

“Was that it? I thought they were supposed to be strong.” Hihana said, shrugging and looking over at the other shinobi. Just then, another two shinobi walked in, one wearing all black and having her white blonde hair tied up in a ponytail. The other was the strong man, his brown hair covering his eyes. He was wearing a simple looking yukata, made for battle.

“They went first for a reason, you know.” The male grinned, crossing his arms.

Well, there it is. Hope it was good!
