King Of Fighter

"King of fighters is a tournament, which gathers the strongest fighters from all around the world. You can see many strange abilities in this tournament so I will say it is your best guess. The last tournament finished on a bad note but it made it a worldwide phenomenon so it will be even bigger this time.

But you will need reputation to gain an invitation and I have never heard your name so you will have to enter small tournaments and street fights to gain the acknowledgment of the people." King explained while she had her assistants handle the business as Naruto was more of a concern

'He looks like a rookie not knowing about Ki and with that abysmal control as he doesn't seem like person to throw his presence around. But then his posture shows good combat experience, weird.'

Naruto took in her words and thought about it. The method was something he would enjoy as he likes to fight with people in a playful manner and he can find about what he wants as well without looking around the world.

"Thanks for the explanation and do you know of any tournament I can enter now." Naruto asked as he took a sip from the banana smoothie

"There are two going on tonight in the neighborhood but I will recommend one as the other one is a bit too dangerous. But first you should control your energy as its leaking from your body."

Naruto felt his body and could see that his chakra was leaking from his body in miniscule amounts so he closed his eyes and shut it inside his body.

"Sorry, I just have bad control so it happens sometimes."

"No problem at least it's not bad enough to cause damage to the surroundings. Now for the fight, there is one going close by where you can fight against Zangief to prove your mettle. He is very strong and durable but his fighting style isn't that hard to fight against, even then you have to be careful as on hit from him will be worse than ten hits from me."

"Is that so? Can you win against him?"

King stared at him pointedly and guessed that he meant she was weaker than him so if she can beat Zangief than it won't be a problem.

"6 out of 10"

"So he is strong, I will check him out. Would beating him gain me enough rep?"

"No, just beating one guy isn't enough. Maybe he was just a bad match up for you so you need to beat different fighters and find team mates as KOF is a team tournament not solo." King replied with a smile, she was curious now about the boy he reminded her of Terry and Ryo

"Will you join me if I ask?"

King chuckled, "You should work on your reputation first and then we will see. I haven't decided if I will join or not."

Naruto smiled and stood up, "Thanks I will pay you back for this favor."

Naruto left a wad of cash and left, he didn't know about the currency and just put down the money as it didn't matter to him.

'He stole that money didn't he.' King didn't know if she should report him or not for petty crime as it could lead to bigger problem just like what would happen if someone reported Akuma or the Mishima's

Naruto walked out of the bar feeling a bit refreshed as he got to talk someone nice and beautiful.

'I wonder how good she is.' Naruto thought as he walked towards the location King had told him

The fight was in an underground ring and fighting Zangief was one of the qualification requirements for the Underworld tourney put together by the Kingpin.

To Naruto the location was very close as he moved at speeds faster than sound by multiples though he felt that he was barely moving at 1% is original speed as his maximum had become mach 5 from Mach 150.

'I don't know what happened and why I lost speed but gained more physical strength.' Naruto was confused and it raised more questions in his mind at the situation. He wasn't surprised at the rise of his chakra since the Kyuubi was gone; it meant the chakra used to contend with the Kyuubi was finally free. His chakra reserves were monstrous and even beyond most tail beasts as Kurama had helped it grow beyond mortal limits that even Hashirama Senju was lower in reserves then Naruto.

'I should probably learn to control my techniques now as the Kyuubi is gone. I will finally be able to use genjutsu if I train hard but first I should make the rasengan with one hand and practice the high speed movement along with elemental control and replacement jutsu.' Naruto's thoughts went to improvement as his mind was filled with thoughts of fighting

He wasn't worried about his world since he didn't know about the threats and assumed they will be worried about him but nothing else and he was working towards returning. Worrying would be pointless so he just wanted to focus without stress as it will lower his productivity.

"Sir, please enter." The guard in casual clothing greeted Naruto with respect as he was in the shape of King

'So she must have time when she hid her gender.' Naruto concluded from the one sentence as no one would dare call King a man with that figure

Naruto nodded and walked downstairs, changing to Kakashi's form as he went through the dark stairs.

It was a party, Naruto could see a crowd of people mixing and doing inappropriate things and enjoying the violence with no rules.

Naruto looked at the cage where a giant of a man was smashing a poor man into the ground, it looked really painful and Naruto heard his spine snap.

The man was dead as he hit the ground but no one showed sign of panic and screamed in excitement.

'These people are crazy. No value for life at all.' Naruto scowled in disgust as he walked towards the stage

"Next, is there anyone who dares fight me?" Zangief called out in a loud voice filled with ferocity

"I do"

"Who?" Zangief looked at Naruto with his weird appearance

"Good, I hope you have the strength to back up the confidence." Zangief smiled as he looked at filled with fighting spirit

"I hope you are not just big lump of meat and actually have the strength to back up that confidence." Naruto responded which made Zangief glare at him as Naruto was just a no name fighter in his eyes

"No more chit chat" Zangief said as he bull rushed Naruto to hit him with a lariat

Naruto saw the slow attack and realized that even though was stronger than King, she would win most of the time because of the speed difference.

"Too slow" Naruto muttered as he passed though the opening and kicked his back

It was the first time fighting an opponent that didn't use Ninjutsu and rasengan was just too destructive so he forgot that his hits are not that strong. His kick carried a large force to kill an elephant but Zangief was beyond that and he was barely bruised by the move.

Zangief was pushed into the cage and realigned himself, 'Fast and strong, I will have to catch him in a hold or else this battle might be lost.'

Naruto stood still and thought more on his fighting style as he didn't want to kill him but he needed to put him down.

'I will have to enhance my strength but need to be careful not too much.' Naruto decided and moved before Zangief could even react.

The whole arena was silent as Zangief was blown away with a hit to hit stomach and broke through the cage, hitting the wall at the back and injuring some guests.

He had fist deeply pressed onto his skin and his bones most likely broke on impact, and he was barely alive at the moment.

"OOOHHH" The crowd screamed in excitement at a new challenger in the field of fighters, the battle was being recorded and many in the underworld had seen the scene.

Shadaloo, NEST, Mishima and many more, this was asking for trouble as the fight showed that it was clearly one-sided with Naruto showing that it was a mistake.

'Shit, I couldn't control it right. I hope he lives.' Naruto cursed in his mind and disappeared from the scene with full speed, causing the curiosity to deepen as the cameras used in the place were one of the highest quality and should have been able to follow a target moving at Mach 1.

"What do you think of that, Young Master?" A woman with a sensual body asked as she sat on the left said of man with red hair

"He is good and I will enjoy a fight with him." The man replied as purple flames sparked in his hands and he got up to leave
