===Aug 5, 1:59 PM, Aohura City, Nakamura Sports Arena===
Now at the center of the Fight Zone, Tsunade checked the card. "Is everyone ready for round 2?" Everyone cheered. "Then lets get to the first match!" Tsunade exclaimed. "First up... Mei Shiratori!"
Mei smiled briefly then left the stand-by area she, and the other winners, were now standing as they had for the first round. She gave a nod and wave to Komei who cheered louder than the rest. She definitely had to get to know Komei after this was over, and hoped she was open to a less violent, but much more enjoyable, rematch... that was a match she wouldn't mind losing, especially if she was smothered by those huge breasts.
Tsunade smiled bigger for a moment, her instincts told her this would be a great battle, and if her hunch was right, personal. "Her opponent... Ibuki!"
Everyone paused when they saw Mei suddenly lock a fierce gaze on Ibuki, her smile scary. Ibuki's cheerful attitude went cold like a switch was flipped, which made the nicer girls around her take a step away, before she headed for the fight zone.
"Did anyone else feel that?" Sakura asked.
"Ya, I did." Makoto said.
Jasmine nodded. Her special training and experience traveling parts of the world most didn't know even existed, after feeling the ki from both fighters, and what she'd seen them do, they weren't just ki users, they were kunoichi and she suspected which villages they were from, but wouldn't say anything as she had connections in a few hidden villages around the world... due mostly to who her Sensei was, and knew how they operated.
Mei waited until Ibuki was in place then put her right fist in her left hand and gave a small, formal bow. "I am Mei Shiratori of the Phoenix Fist, I challenge you to personal combat under the rules of the tournament."
Ibuki clenched her jaw then her fists, cracking her knuckles. She glanced around the room, paying special attention to certain people and their reactions. A cloud of smoke surrounded her, when it cleared moments later she was wearing her full kunoichi garb, and returned Mei's gestures. "I, Ibuki of the Flying Sparrow, accept your challenge." Ibuki said emotionlessly then took her fighting stance.
Her suspicions about both girls confirmed, Tsunade stepped up to Mei, then Ibuki, and quietly told each girl she was an Elite kunoichi on a level even the Elder of their village couldn't comprehend, that she didn't care what problems they had with each other they'd follow her rules or she'd personally hand their head to the Leader of their village. Their reactions told her they fully understood the situation then returned to her spot. "Are you both ready?"
Mei and Ibuki locked eyes, glanced at Tsunade and subtly nodded, even if they didn't like each other they had to fight with honor and regardless of who won not take it personally, especially Mei since she'd issued the challenge and forced Ibuki to reveal herself. Both nodded to Tsunade.
"Mei... Ibuki, do you want your identity as a kunoichi kept secret?" Tsunade asked.
"Doesn't matter to me, I'm here to start my own business anyway." Mei replied.
Tsunade glanced at Naruto and gave him a subtle nod that he returned.
Ibuki thought a moment. "Will the results of this tournament be posted anywhere Tsunade-san?"
"Once we open our site we'll post them there, but that won't be until January of next year." Tsunade said.
"If everyone can keep it a secret until then, that will be good enough." Ibuki replied.
"Everyone hear that and understand?" Tsunade said loudly, then smiled when everyone nodded. "Agreed." Tsunade walked to her spot outside the fight zone and raised a hand, both took their fighting stance. "FIGHT!"
===A Minute Ago===
"You have connections in this kinda stuff, you ever heard of either of those Ninja Clans?" Lucia asked softly.
Chun-Li thought a moment. "I've heard of the Phoenix Clan but haven't met one... as far as I know, but I haven't seen enough of Mei's fighting style to say for sure."
"And the Sparrow?" Lucia inquired.
"I don't know." Chun-Li replied, remembering everything she'd seen Ibuki do during the Prelims, now that she was thinking about it she'd mistaken her initial reaction to Ibuki's moves as excitement, but realized it was a feeling of recognition, she'd seen it before... but when and where?
====Present, Mei vs Ibuki===
Naruto watched them intently, he never would of said it back in Konoha... especially not to Ino or Sakura after their Chuunin Exam match, but he loved a good kunoichi fight. He watched them study each other a few moments, then Mei threw a fire bird at Ibuki, who reacted not by dodging, but did a 20' jump forward over it, planted her right foot on Mei's left breast then kicked off Mei's other tit, did a tucked, double back flip and landed about 10' away without a sound, and went right back into her fighting stance. Arms crossed over her chest a moment Mei said 'Flying Sparrow' as a question, and Ibuki nodded. Mei clenched her jaw and nodded. He knew that look, she'd be on guard for that now, and if he was right she knew Ibuki's style and was embarrassed she'd forgotten about that move.
He watched Mei suddenly dash in with a jumping side kick Ibuki dodged, the moment she landed extended her leg into a fast, spinning low heel kick at her knees that Ibuki jumped... a little higher than he thought she should of, as she cleared Mei's leg by 6'. When he caught a quick smile by Mei he knew she'd expected it. An instant later Mei sprang up from her crouch and caught Ibuki by the neck with a leg scissors, did what Poison called a hurricanerana that planted Ibuki on the floor face up, continued her flip into a tucked full spin that carried her about a foot backward, then uncurled and dropped as she said 'Sunset Crash!" and landed in a kneel, her right knee buried in Ibuki's crotch and leapt back several feet, as Ibuki curled up, hands between her legs.
Mei stayed in her crouch 2-3 seconds before she stood, Naruto had seen similar delays, that was obviously a high level technique and the recovery left her vulnerable a few seconds, he had a few moves like that too. He saw and heard Ibuki take a few deep breaths before she back rolled to her feet, leaving about 8' between them, and a smirk on Mei's face. Naruto glanced to his left and right, like him Tsunade, Chun-Li and Lucia were impressed Ibuki could recover from a hard blow to the pussy so quickly, but it was also obvious from her expression she was still in a lot of pain.
"I'm impressed, most kunoichi that have felt my Sunset Crash are knocked out... I haven't had a real challenge in a long time, it's too bad you're Sparrow Clan though. I want you to know this isn't personal, and you have my word I have no intention of killing you here or afterwards." Mei said and gave her a small bow. "But don't think for a moment I won't enjoy kicking your ass and humiliating you."
Ibuki returned her bow, and like Mei never took her eyes off of her. "The feeling is mutual." Though annoyed she'd been revealed as a ninja, it wasn't a big issue considering the public opinion of martial arts, due mainly to the World Warrior Tournament that was the reason for this tournament. She couldn't blame anyone, she knew she could be exposed, figuratively and literally. However, she couldn't deny her excitement at facing a real challenge.
Naruto focused his senses on them so he didn't miss anything, he just hoped both would accept the offer he knew Tsunade would make them... he really missed having other shinobi around, especially kunoichi. Chun-Li was great, but as much as he loved talking to and training with her she wasn't a shinobi and didn't truly understand that life. He hadn't needed to so far, but was glad he had as Ibuki did what had to be her version of a Shunshin directly in front of Mei, drove a left, right palm strike into Mei's breasts, mashing them flat against her chest, drove a knee into her crotch that knocked her back a step and opened some space between them, then leaned back and snapped that same raised leg up into a high kick to the chin that sent Mei flying up and backwards about 8'.
Everyone heard Mei moan then quickly twisted up to her feet from her back, and to the surprise of most, saw Mei smile, but the shocking part is that it was almost sexual.
"So the little sparrow does have talons... I didn't think you had it in you." Mei said.
Ibuki smiled, subtly glanced at the spectators, then using a technique she'd taught herself lowered her voice to a whisper and projected it so only Mei would hear her. "Just between us, I'm not supposed to be here, I snuck out to compete..." Ibuki smirked briefly. "....but I shouldn't have a laptop or even know about this Tournament either, so I intend to enjoy every moment of this before I go back to that boring village, so make this worth it and give me the challenge I've been looking for since I was 10... as a kunoichi from a hidden village I know you understand."
Mei smiled, though genuinely surprised Ibuki had told her that, but she did understand Ibuki's situation as hers was similar. She was also surprised to learn Ibuki hadn't passed her final test and graduated, as she had. Mei gave her a nod and look she knew Ibuki would understand, but also agreed to her offer. 'Maybe she has potential after all.' Mei thought. "You're faster than I thought, but you won't catch me with that again."
Ibuki subtly smiled, regardless of how this goes she had to talk to Mei before she returned home... and maybe Mei had some insight into Naruto and Tsunade that she didn't have, Mei had to of noticed what she did.
Mei and Ibuki leapt and blurred around the fight zone at what Naruto figured to be Chuunin level speed, and while he wasn't as impressed as most of the others watching, 2 spectators were following the action closely... well one was following the action, the other doing her best to keep track of them. "Hey Chun, can you follow them?" Lucia asked. Chun-Li nodded. "Mei looks like she's pushing herself... but I think Ibuki is still holding back."
"I agree, but I think Mei is holding something back also, you know as well as I do the best fighters always have an Ace or 2 up their sleeve they save for an emergency." Chun-Li replied, and saw Lucia nod with her peripheral vision.
"I think I can match Mei if I go all out... you think you're faster than Ibuki?" Lucia asked quietly.
Chun-Li waited a moment, then saw Mei and Ibuki separate, both breathing a little harder, but only the skilled fighters would notice from this distance. "From what I've seen so far, I'd say... I'm at least as fast, but I haven't seen her full speed yet..." She said and glanced at Lucia. "...and I don't count that dash she did, that was a ki technique, most fighters at our level have a similar move." She saw Lucia smirk at her then nod.
Mei adjusted her top then rubbed her breasts, Ibuki had punched and kicked them several times during their exchange, but seeing Ibuki adjusting her top for the same reason made her smile. "You're even better than I thought, but I think the warm up is over..." She could tell Ibuki smiled beneath her mask before she nodded. "...so lets show 'em what a real kunoichi catfight looks like... if you're up for it."
Ibuki stood from her fighting stance and looked at the obviously very excited crowd, she could see it on their faces. She ran every possibility through her mind as she faced Mei again and pulled down her mask. "I'm not afraid to fight on your terms, but other than humiliating you what's in it for me to reveal my best moves?"
Mei thought a moment. "If you beat me... I'll owe you a favor, anything you want."
Ibuki smiled, she knew the full implications of that as well as Mei. "And if you win?"
Mei smiled and licked her lips. "As much as I'd love to have you by the nipples as a kunoichi, if I win... you tongue me dry."
Ibuki gasped softly. She wasn't against a female lover, though her preference was for a long, hard cock... but she couldn't deny that as much as she loved men, one of her dream lovers was a huge breasted futa with a cock as long as her arm, but Mei wasn't a futa. She clenched her jaw a moment, regardless of why Mei was doing it this wasn't about Clan honor, it was clearly about their personal honor. Consequences be damned, she had to win under the rules of the tournament, which meant with the exception of killing her personal code as a kunoichi in-training, and a teenage girl had to be set aside. "I accept." Ibuki said, pulled up her mask and took her fighting stance.
Mei knew the look in Ibuki's eyes, she wasn't going to hold back anymore. While concerned she might lose, there was no fear, she wanted this to test herself. "Show me what you've got Sparrow." Mei said and set herself.
Naruto glanced to his left at Chun-Li and Lucia, while he didn't know her as well as he did Chun-Li, the look on Lucia's face he did know, they were as excited as he was about the fight, and Tsunade he didn't have to look at to know exactly what she was thinking. "Hey Chun, what do you think?"
Chun-Li smirked, but didn't take her eyes of the fighters. "Tough call, but you know me... I have to go with Ibuki." She heard him chuckle. "Lucia?"
"I say Mei, she seems to be the more experienced fighter." Lucia replied.
Naruto was smiling as Mei and Ibuki restarted, this time Ibuki was clearly dominating on pure speed... but it looked like she wasn't hitting as hard as before, if he was right her style was more like Tenten's, and her Taijutsu was about fast, precise strikes. Mei's style was obvious, mid to close range using fast, hard, strikes and fire-based techniques... he'd only seen one of them, but he knew what a phoenix was. Ibuki landed an 8-hit combination that left Mei on her back about 8' away, she stood 5 seconds later, her expression was either excitement or arousal.
Mei clenched her hands into fists, dropped into a horse stance with her arms crossed over her chest, jaw clenched, then suddenly stood as she threw her arms up and out... kinda like bird wings many thought, and yelled, "Phoenix Cloak!" For about 2 seconds she was encased in red, fire-like energy shaped like a rising bird. As it faded Mei's skin turned red. "Let's try this again, shall we."
Naruto turned to Tsunade when she glanced back at him, he knew she was thinking the same thing he was... and Naruto also knew that Mei now had Kurama's full attention as they could feel the power radiating from her now. She wasn't like him, but there was definitely something special about her chakra... ki, he had to remember not to call it chakra when he spoke to her later, it was ki on this world. It upset him that he still did that occasionally.
Without looking Naruto knew everyone was staring at Mei, then she dashed up to Ibuki at double the speed she was before with a spinning roundhouse kick that Ibuki literally dodged by a hair, but the most shocking part is that her foot was flaming and left a fire trail behind it.
Ibuki leapt back and checked her mask, which hid the shock on her face. She'd heard about abilities like this, but had never encountered it before. It only took a moment but she was glad her mask was intact. Mei was definitely not playing anymore, and if she didn't get serious she'd lose. She used her Kasumi Gake to get close to Mei again and threw one of her fastest punches at Mei's face... and barely had time to react when Mei knocked it away with a flaming backfist, pivoted on that same side foot and kicked her in the chest. The pain was nearly blinding, but her extensive training kept her aware... she was briefly air born, when she hit the floor she reacted on instinct and rolled through to negate most of the impact.
Naruto watched intently and very excitedly, both girls were very impressive kunoichi... Ibuki's recovery from that flaming kick especially as he could tell she'd done it on instinct, as he'd done the same thing many times. Then Mei came in faster than Ibuki had with the exception of the Shunshin-like move she'd done twice. Mei did a right roundhouse, flowed into a spinning back roundhouse, both moves Ibuki dodged apparently on instinct... a quick focus on her eyes told him she was basically out of it, meaning that kick was very powerful and seems to of stunned her... and with a small yell he doubted most of them heard Mei went for a blindingly fast side kick he knew would easily send her flying out of bounds, then shut his eyes for a brief moment when there was an explosion.
Naruto stood and jumped the table, landing next to Tsunade by the border, she was ready to move in, as was he, everyone had gone silent while he waited for the smoke to clear. About 5 seconds later he saw Ibuki standing in the same stance she was at the end of her match with Bronco... she'd used that Lightning Punch again... then heard Maggie swearing, and the reason was Mei. There was one, then 2 scorch tracks on the floor from her feet going back about 16'... where she was STANDING, hunched forward, hands pressed between her legs and her face twisted in agony. "How the fuck is she standing?" He asked no one in particular.
Mei stood another 8 seconds, then dropped to her knees, wobbled briefly then face planted hard on the floor, out cold. Ibuki fell to her knees, then hands a moment later, head down, breathing hard.
"Winner, Ibuki..." Tsunade announced then looked at Naruto. "...I'll grab Mei, you get Ibuki and carry her to the Med Station... I don't care if she objects, she has no say in this." She waited a moment for him to nod then moved in.
===2:26 PM, Med Station Room 1===
"She'll be fine Ibuki, relax." Tsunade said to the little kunoichi sitting on the bench by the wall then turned back to her patient. "As I said I've healed the damage, but you had one of the more severe injuries so far... so I need to know how you feel. Any numbness, tingles?"
Mei stretched her legs in several directions, and was nude because the lower half of her outfit was basically destroyed, then almost sexually ran her hands over and around her pussy. "No numbness, but some tingling... the good kind though... but I'd be happy with pain considering she basically just shoved a lightning bolt up my cunt and almost neutered me... I'm just happy to still qualify as a functional female."
Ibuki stood and walked over to Mei. "I shouldn't of used that, even if it wasn't the full version, I still could of killed you and broken my..."
"Relax Sparrow..." Mei said with a raised hand. "...listen, Clan issues aside you beat me fair and square, and as a kunoichi, despite what you think of me and my village, I have honor and I never go back on my word." Mei said, paused a moment then smiled. "Blondie is coming back with my new outfit..."
"You can sense him can't you?" Tsunade asked.
Mei turned to Tsunade, her name she had memorized. "Yes... let him in, I have a few questions for both of you and she needs to hear this too."
A moment later there was knocking on the door that made Tsunade smirk. "Come in Naruto."
Naruto entered, saw Tsunade's expression, shut the door behind him and handed Mei her new outfit. "Which one wants to ask?"
"I do, cutie." Mei replied. "Now just between us, tell me the truth... you're both ninja aren't you?"
Naruto glanced at Tsunade then his smile faded. "We are, and from a village you've never heard of. I probably outrank both of you, and before we got, side tracked, and ended up here she was coming back to the village to be Kage..." Naruto saw their reactions and smiled slightly. "...your reactions tell me you know what that means, so before you ask anything else we have an offer to make both of you... Tsunade-chan."
"You still need work on your subtlety, but it works for you... and don't give me that look brat." Tsunade said then focused on Mei and Ibuki.

Naruto glanced to his left at Chun-Li and Lucia, while he didn't know her as well as he did Chun-Li, the look on Lucia's face he did know, they were as excited as he was about the fight, and Tsunade he didn't have to look at to know exactly what she was thinking. "Hey Chun, what do you think?"
Chun-Li smirked, but didn't take her eyes of the fighters. "Tough call, but you know me... I have to go with Ibuki." She heard him chuckle. "Lucia?"
"I say Mei, she seems to be the more experienced fighter." Lucia replied.
Naruto was smiling as Mei and Ibuki restarted, this time Ibuki was clearly dominating on pure speed... but it looked like she wasn't hitting as hard as before, if he was right her style was more like Tenten's, and her Taijutsu was about fast, precise strikes. Mei's style was obvious, mid to close range using fast, hard, strikes and fire-based techniques... he'd only seen one of them, but he knew what a phoenix was. Ibuki landed an 8-hit combination that left Mei on her back about 8' away, she stood 5 seconds later, her expression was either excitement or arousal.
Mei clenched her hands into fists, dropped into a horse stance with her arms crossed over her chest, jaw clenched, then suddenly stood as she threw her arms up and out... kinda like bird wings many thought, and yelled, "Phoenix Cloak!" For about 2 seconds she was encased in red, fire-like energy shaped like a rising bird. As it faded Mei's skin turned red. "Let's try this again, shall we."
Naruto turned to Tsunade when she glanced back at him, he knew she was thinking the same thing he was... and Naruto also knew that Mei now had Kurama's full attention as they could feel the power radiating from her now. She wasn't like him, but there was definitely something special about her chakra... ki, he had to remember not to call it chakra when he spoke to her later, it was ki on this world. It upset him that he still did that occasionally.
Without looking Naruto knew everyone was staring at Mei, then she dashed up to Ibuki at double the speed she was before with a spinning roundhouse kick that Ibuki literally dodged by a hair, but the most shocking part is that her foot was flaming and left a fire trail behind it.
Ibuki leapt back and checked her mask, which hid the shock on her face. She'd heard about abilities like this, but had never encountered it before. It only took a moment but she was glad her mask was intact. Mei was definitely not playing anymore, and if she didn't get serious she'd lose. She used her Kasumi Gake to get close to Mei again and threw one of her fastest punches at Mei's face... and barely had time to react when Mei knocked it away with a flaming backfist, pivoted on that same side foot and kicked her in the chest. The pain was nearly blinding, but her extensive training kept her aware... she was briefly air born, when she hit the floor she reacted on instinct and rolled through to negate most of the impact.
Naruto watched intently and very excitedly, both girls were very impressive kunoichi... Ibuki's recovery from that flaming kick especially as he could tell she'd done it on instinct, as he'd done the same thing many times. Then Mei came in faster than Ibuki had with the exception of the Shunshin-like move she'd done twice. Mei did a right roundhouse, flowed into a spinning back roundhouse, both moves Ibuki dodged apparently on instinct... a quick focus on her eyes told him she was basically out of it, meaning that kick was very powerful and seems to of stunned her... and with a small yell he doubted most of them heard Mei went for a blindingly fast side kick he knew would easily send her flying out of bounds, then shut his eyes for a brief moment when there was an explosion.
Naruto stood and jumped the table, landing next to Tsunade by the border, she was ready to move in, as was he, everyone had gone silent while he waited for the smoke to clear. About 5 seconds later he saw Ibuki standing in the same stance she was at the end of her match with Bronco... she'd used that Lightning Punch again... then heard Maggie swearing, and the reason was Mei. There was one, then 2 scorch tracks on the floor from her feet going back about 16'... where she was STANDING, hunched forward, hands pressed between her legs and her face twisted in agony. "How the fuck is she standing?" He asked no one in particular.
Mei stood another 8 seconds, then dropped to her knees, wobbled briefly then face planted hard on the floor, out cold. Ibuki fell to her knees, then hands a moment later, head down, breathing hard.
"Winner, Ibuki..." Tsunade announced then looked at Naruto. "...I'll grab Mei, you get Ibuki and carry her to the Med Station... I don't care if she objects, she has no say in this." She waited a moment for him to nod then moved in.
===2:26 PM, Med Station Room 1===
"She'll be fine Ibuki, relax." Tsunade said to the little kunoichi sitting on the bench by the wall then turned back to her patient. "As I said I've healed the damage, but you had one of the more severe injuries so far... so I need to know how you feel. Any numbness, tingles?"
Mei stretched her legs in several directions, and was nude because the lower half of her outfit was basically destroyed, then almost sexually ran her hands over and around her pussy. "No numbness, but some tingling... the good kind though... but I'd be happy with pain considering she basically just shoved a lightning bolt up my cunt and almost neutered me... I'm just happy to still qualify as a functional female."
Ibuki stood and walked over to Mei. "I shouldn't of used that, even if it wasn't the full version, I still could of killed you and broken my..."
"Relax Sparrow..." Mei said with a raised hand. "...listen, Clan issues aside you beat me fair and square, and as a kunoichi, despite what you think of me and my village, I have honor and I never go back on my word." Mei said, paused a moment then smiled. "Blondie is coming back with my new outfit..."
"You can sense him can't you?" Tsunade asked.
Mei turned to Tsunade, her name she had memorized. "Yes... let him in, I have a few questions for both of you and she needs to hear this too."
A moment later there was knocking on the door that made Tsunade smirk. "Come in Naruto."
Naruto entered, saw Tsunade's expression, shut the door behind him and handed Mei her new outfit. "Which one wants to ask?"
"I do, cutie." Mei replied. "Now just between us, tell me the truth... you're both ninja aren't you?"
Naruto glanced at Tsunade then his smile faded. "We are, and from a village you've never heard of. I probably outrank both of you, and before we got, side tracked, and ended up here she was coming back to the village to be Kage..." Naruto saw their reactions and smiled slightly. "...your reactions tell me you know what that means, so before you ask anything else we have an offer to make both of you... Tsunade-chan."
"You still need work on your subtlety, but it works for you... and don't give me that look brat." Tsunade said then focused on Mei and Ibuki.
