Narutos trump card, the fruits of Jiraiyas training!

Even though faced with Gaaras famed ultimate defense, Naruto still smiled confidently. "Heh, I guess I've got **** then. I'll show you my latest jutsu, I just finished learning it the other day.", he exclaimed as he pointed right at the eye that floated over Gaaras sand dome.

The crowd fell silent, all at the edge of their seats to see what new jutsu this strange blonde shinobi still hadn't shown. His friends especially gasped. He had learned more than the summoning jutus? Naruto held his hand out and the clone began to seemingly punch the air quickly and randomly. Then, swirls of chakra appeared around the rea Narutos palm and they began to multiply and swirled faster and faster, until Naruto held a small sphere of pure chakra in his hands.

"So cool, Naruto-kun!", Tenten cheered her boyfriend on as she watched in awe how he stood in the arena, about to face Gaara, the jerk who had pinned his own sister to a wall. Secretly, she had worn a smug grin when that happened, but deep down, she was worried about the Sand kunoichi. After all, if she did, how would she ever get her rematch?

Ayame and Hinata both also stared at their lover with admiration. 'He has gotten so much stronger... once I can train again, I'll make sure I won't get left behind!' she swore to herself while Ayame loudly supported her favorite customer. "Go and kick this creeps butt, Naruto!", she cheered him on.

The Jounin were not loud at all, instead they were looking at the jutsu in arutos hand and then back at his teacher. "Jiraiya-sama, that jutsu...", Kakashi said, knowing what it was but he still could not believe his eye that Naruto was really capable of performing such a feat. The old sannin just grinned as he looked at the younger jounin.

Since he was not hurt except in his pride, Sasuke joined his comrades and the Jounin at the stands, where he witnessed Narutos new jutsu. Immediately, his eyes flared red as his sharingan activated. He needed to know more about this jutsu. But he was shocked to find out that he couldn't. "What is that jutsu... I can't read it with my Sharingan!", he exclaimed, both shocked and angry. How could the dead last have learned something like that?

"That's because it's a special kind of jutsu. It does not require any hand signs, it is pure chakra manipulation. That's why I thought it was rather well-suited for Naruto.", Jiraiya explained with a confident smile. Naruto had been rather eager in learning it, even more so as he had explained that the Sharingan would not be able to just copy it. Maybe the idea of having a jutsu that Sasuke never could learn was a part in what pushed Naruto to learn this jutsu...

"But how could he learn that in just one month?", Kakashi demanded to know. He knew very well of the history of this jutsu so he was probably the person who was most surprised at seeing it in Narutos hands.

"Well, it is still incomplete as you can see. He can only perform it with the aid of one clone, but he's got the basics down and I think that's good enough for this fight.", Jiraiya told the one-eyed Jounin. True, Naruto had gotten down how to get his chakra to rotate in his palm, but he had not gotten down how to do it while maintaining the spherical chakra around it to stop it from just dispersing. So he had taken to use a clone to aid him with getting the chakra in motion while he himself shaped the sphere.

"What are you guys talking about, what is that jutsu?", Tenten inquired, feeling left out as the Jounin talked about her boyfriend while she was clueless. The rest of the Gennin and Ayame also looked at Jiraiya expectantly. The more they saw from Naruto, the more respect they gained for the strange old hermit.

"That is a rather special jutsu. It was invented by none other than the Fourth Hokage himself, but even the Fourth needed three years to get the jutsu to this point, and Naruto was able to learn it in less than a month.", Jiraiya explained. The Gennin around him gasped as they understood just how impossible the sight before them was. Jiraiya grinned to himself as he looked at his student. "I'd say that Naruto really is not just a hard worker... in his own strange way, he is quite a genius.", he said out loud.

"All in all, Naruto is only the fourth person to be able to perform it. Yup, I hadn't thought I could teach him more than the frog summon in one month, but that kid is more than just your average brat. One month ago, I thought he was just a loud-mouthed kid, but look at him now!". The old man smiled. "The jutsu in his hands... it's name is..."

"...Rasengan!"
"RASENGAN!"

Naruto yelled the name of his newest jutsu out loud as he charged Gaaras ultimate defense with it. Again, the sand formed a spike and it was ready to impale Naruto if he got closer, but the blond shinobi charged in anyway. Before the sand reached him, he thrust his jutsu forward and it collided with the spike. Immediately, the spike dispersed and sand was thrown everywhere, but Naruto didn't stop.

He kept on running full speed, charging through Gaaras defense like it was nothing. Reaching his ball of sand, Naruto pushed the jutsu right at it and again, Gaaras sand was beaten as the Rasengan drilled its way into Gaaras cocoon. The sand flew away, all through the arena as Naruto got closer to the center. Then, he could see him!

Gaara stared at Naruto in utter shock and even fear, his seagreen eyes wide open as the blond ninja overcame his perfect defense just like that. Naruto did not hesitate to bring the swirling sphere to his chest. At once, the rest of the sphere collapsed and the sand dropped to the floor as Gaara burst through it, having been launched by immense **** of the Rasengan. He flew a fair distance and collided with the wall of the arena, where he dropped to the floor and did not move.

Panting, Naruto stood over the sand as he watched Gaara intently, ready to attack once again if he moved. The audience also watched on breathlessly. For a whole minute, it seemed like not a single person dared to even draw breath. "Is it... over?", Naruto finally asked himself as he allowed himself to relax a bit.
