Chapter 35: CH 35
The force of the wind jutsu hitting the meat tank sent the rotund ninja flying backwards until he bounced off of one of the stone walls lining the arena.
Choji came rolling right back at Naruto who simply stood right in his path and waited for him. When he got close enough Naruto cocked his leg back and gave Choji a chakra-enhanced kick that sent him flying once more, only into the stands this time. Choji released the jutsu to avoid crushing the spectators and ended up crashing into the stairs and rolling down them until he finally came to a stop at the bottom.
After a few minutes of him trying to regain his senses, Choji shakily stood up and faced Naruto, wincing with some blood coming from his lips, "You're... strong Naruto. I know I can't win here."
Naruto nodded, "But the important thing is that you tried. Do you want to continue?"
Choji looked up in the stands to his father. Choza knew what Choji was asking him and sat in contemplation before silently shaking his head. Choji turned back to Naruto and sighed, "I wish I could. But there's only one way that I can even hope to hang with you and my dad really doesn't want me trying it, it's really dangerous. I surrender."
Anko nodded and pointed "Shousa, Naruto Uzumaki!"
