Out.
They spot Naruto as he exits the burning hull of a shop, laden with supplies. The ninja in front, a large thickset man who wears an unfamiliar forehead protector over his right eye, halts his band in their tracks. "There's one, kill the fucker!" His followers need no more encouragement and proceed to unleash a veritable storm of pointed projectiles at the lone Leaf ninja. Naruto, however, remains unperturbed and gently lowers his armful to the dusty ground before gracefully dodging the incoming weapons. The first enemy reaches him and swings a kunai at Naruto's throat. He executes a swift backwards cartwheel the blade misses his face by centimetres. The enemy leaps in again with a flurry of punches interrupted with slashes and stabs from the knife in his hand, Naruto blocks these with ease and as one punch arks towards him he shoves the man off balance. The enemy sprawls in the dust and one of his comrades jumps into the fray in his place. Naruto catches the new enemy's first punch and holds it steady before kicking the man in the stomach, doubling him over, and carries out a low dual-legged kick knocking the mans legs from underneath him. Two more of the enemy ninja have reached him by now, the large brute who seems to be in charge and a dangerous looking woman who seems to have more blades than appendages. The woman charges in first, taking up all of Naruto's available attention with a whirlwind of slicing metal. Naruto goes on the defensive instantly, bringing up his own kunai and blocking most of the cuts. Meanwhile the man has circled him and is now bearing down on his rear with a large curved sword trailing red ribbons. Naruto reacts quickly, shrugging the woman's weapons from his own kunai and delivering a swift uppercut to her unprotected chin that sends her reeling. He spins and only just manages to catch the arcing sword on one of his two knives. The man is unbearably strong, and the two blades grate against each other as their bearers push.
Out of the corner of his eye Naruto sees the woman clambering unsteadily to her feet and begin to bear down on him, weapons extended. As she commences her first swing Naruto's knife suddenly gives way to the larger mans, sending the other face first into ground. He pushes a small amount of chakra into his feet, propelling himself upwards with a slight twist that catches the woman square in the jaw with one of his knees. He lands on a low nearby wall and waits for the four ninja below him the get back to their feet. Naruto launches himself from the wall towards the woman who happens to be nearest, landing on her shoulders knees down before she can react. There is a sickening crunch and her body collapses on the ground, her neck flopping at an unnatural angle. The first ninja has got behind him and flings a kunai towards Naruto's unprotected back. Naruto does a half turn, somehow catching the ring of the projectile and swinging it around full circle, adding his own strength to the already considerable force that is acting on it before releasing it at it's former owner. The knife embeds itself into the man with such power that he is propelled head over heels into the wall behind him. Naruto executes a lazy backflip, narrowly missing a vicious cut from the large ninja's curved sword and ducking under a slash from the other remaining ninja's kunai in the same movement. He uses slight force to stab the large man in the back of the neck with his kunai and, leaving it embedded there, he jumps, plants a leg on the smaller ninja's chest and pushes off again delivering a staggering kick to the handle of the kunai that is protruding from the larger ninja's neck, snapping his spine. He again uses that leverage to spring again, and gives a powerful roundhouse kick to the face of the remaining man, pitching him backwards with a broken neck.
He lands gracefully and dusts himself off while surveying the small scene of chaos that he has created within the overall turmoil of the burning village. There is a hail from the other end of the avenue on which he stands and he turns to see a girl waving.
"Yo, Hinata." He cries, and quickly gathers up his pile of supplies before jogging towards her. She grins at him as he reaches her and takes some of his armful of clothing, weapons, and fabric from him. He slings his free arm around her shoulders and plants a jaunty kiss on her cheek. She beams. "Shall we?"
They depart through the burning streets towards the Konoha caravan, meandering slowly through smouldering gardens where once red roses curl in on themselves in smoky supplication and passing through the once proud gates of yet another small ninja village that no longer exists, thanks to the military might and pressing need of the citizens of the old Konohagakure No Sato.
