Genin of the Leaf
"Hanabi, Jakon watch the old women and the wagons. Naruto, You and me will meet them head on. We don't know how strong they are so don't get carried away and lose your head." Said Yamato "and Naruto, don't try and use your new jutsu yet, it's not finished." Soon the enemy were in sight. They were all dressed in black clothing and the standard yellow and black spotted neck liners. The first on came at them and then jumped straight over there heads. Before Naruto or Yamato could do anything though they both had there own enemies to deal with. One of them came at Naruto and the last two attacked Yamato. When Naruto finally got a good look at the enemy he saw they were sound nin.
"DAMMIT" Yelled Naruto "Can't you people just leave the leaf alone. Your Master has already taken enough from us." The sound nin however didn't stop to listen to Naruto. He rushed on and pulled out a kunai in his right hand.
As Naruto finished he rambling the nin was nearly on him. Naruto dodged to the nin's right. The nin saw and gaining momentum slashed to the right turning his whole body towards Naruto. Naruto saw the attack coming and ducked down a little. The kunai went through some hair and open air. The nin followed through and punched at Naruto with his left hand, which Naruto dipped the rest of the way down to avoid. The nin then brought up the kunai and stabbed down at Naruto, who was close to the ground now. Naruto dived to the left and out of the way as the man's swung up with the kunai.
Naruto, getting his balance back by putting some space between him and his enemy, readied three shuriken. Hehehe, I'm glad Ero-sensie taught me this jutsu." Thought Naruto who made a few quick hand signs with his left hand while jumping up into the air, Shuriken Kage Bushin no Jutsu, throwing the three stars which soon turned into thousands. The sound nin jumped out of the way of the shuriken as best he could, getting some stuck in his left arm and leg.
As Naruto came down Naruto made the quick signs for his kage bushin and when he landed he ran forward the two bushin he created running a little behind him to either side. The sound nin made some hand signs and the kunai in his hand started to glow. He threw it at the first Naruto, who simply ducked it. The first Naruto jumped up and went in for a kick to the head. The nin stopped this by crossing both of his and blocking the hit. The kicker jumped up though, soon the Naruto on the left had sped up and delivered a punch to the nin's stomach so he bent, doubled over, followed by the last Naruto kicking the feet out from under the nin. Soon the Naruto who had jumped up came down to land on the fallen nin.
Before he could land though, he was struck be a kunai and he disappeared into a puff of smoke. The nin pulled out another kunai while getting up and stabbed down at the Naruto who had cut the legs from under him. This Naruto also appeared to be a clone. The first Naruto backed away, looking to either side to see if there were any more kunai coming.
The sound nin stood up and made more seals and the kunai he held glowed like the other. He then held out his hand and the kunai that had taken out the first Naruto flew back to his hand. "Like it. I can hit any target with this jutsu." And he threw both kunai at Naruto. Naruto jumped up into a tree that was near at hand. The kunai though followed him up. As fast as he could Naruto grabbed a kunai and was able to block one of the hits, the other struck him in the shoulder.
The nin put both of his hands forward again and the kunai in Naruto's shoulder flew out and went back to the nin's hand. Naruto gasped in pain and dropped the kunai in his hand. "Shall we try something more complex said the nin and threw the two kunai down into the ground and pulled out six shuriken. Holding the m all in one hand the nin did the seals. Naruto pulled out two kunai, wincing with pain as he bent his shoulder over. The nin through the glowing shuriken, three at a time, once they were out of his hands he put his palms downward and the two kunai that he threw went right back up and were in pursuit of the shuriken.
Naruto blocked first one, then the second and third shuriken with his right kunai. He was able to move his left arm up in time to stop the fourth shuriken, but he winced in pain and was hit in the arm by the last two shuriken and fell out of the tree he had been perched in. The kunai that would have hit him logged into the branch. I need to end this fast. thought Naruto as several flashes came from the area of the wagons, to the left of Naruto. The nin looked over to were the others were fighting.
Naruto, seeing him distracted ran forward. I can end it with that. thought Naruto charging the chakra to his hands. Nearing in to the nin, he was seen. The nin put his hands forward to call his weapons back he said "he that wont work they'll just get you from behind. The two shuriken in his arm came flying out and Naruto who winced in pain ran on. As the weapons came closer back to him, Naruto punched an open palm, about a yard from the nin, shooting a lance of wind towards the nins heart, piercing him through. The weapons that the nin was calling back flew on for a little while longer, then dropped out of the air.
Naruto held on to his arm and shoulder where he had been hit and had the weapons pulled back out. He looked around and saw Hanabi and Jakon struggling with there shinobi enemy and Yamato, though a jounin, struggling against the two shinobi he was fighting. Though Naruto wanted to go and help the man who had become another sensei and another bond to him, he knew that the other two probably wouldn't be able to hold on much longer and so went to help them.
The fight had started, Jakon saw the first nin jump over Naruto and come running towards them. The old woman had jumped down from the head wagon and was hiding under the wagons.
As the konoichi came closer, Jakon prepared two kunai in his hands and saw Hanabi prepare her Byakugan. She dropped into a fighting position, with her torso leaned back and both hands open and at the ready in front of her. The nin came closer and pulled out a chain with a kunai attached to the end. She stopped and swung it wide, the length of the chain and kunai filling the gap between her and them.
Hanabi ducked below the chain and ran forward to confront the woman. Jakon ducked beneath the chain and also charged forwards. The nin pulled the chain back, jumping backwards catching the kunai. She pulled another chain out and threw both of the kunai. One toward Jakon, on her left and one at Hanabi on her right, crossing the chains over one another. Though neither hit the woman swung both chains causing them to snake back towards the two. Though Hanabi, with her Byakugan saw the ploy and ducked below the lower of the chains, Jakon only saw one coming back at his legs and jumped, getting caught on the top chain. The chain hit him and sent him flying to the left against a tree and knocked him out.
Hanabi went on, not seeming to notice his fallen comrade. She quickly closed the gap between them and struck out. The konoichi dropped both chains and knocked away her strikes, each one blocked was quickly followed up by another and another. The sound nin finally found an opening and kicked at the young genin. Though she saw the strike coming, Hanabi could not block or dodge fast enough, the other woman was much faster than her and she had only kept up due to her Byakugan.
The kick sent Hanabi flying back and she turned it into a roll and was up on her feet. She pulled four shuriken and threw them at the charging konoichi, who had drawn a long kunai and had managed to block all four, and charged again. Going again into the pattern of strike and block. Finally though the other woman's speed had caught up to Hanabi as she brought down the kunai and cut along the right side of Hanabi's face.
Wincing with the pain Hanabi bent her neck to the left. The woman pulled up the kunai and prepared a finishing blow when a bright light caught her eyes. Jakon had managed to get up after a while and was now right next to were the two had been fighting. He slid his right hand down the left arm and the light jettisoned out of his hand striking the sound nin in the face with amazing speed.
The nin was blinded now, holding her hands over her face and trying to squint between her fingers. Jakon lunged forward, his fist extended. The konoichi though had seen the attack through wincing and grabbed his arm, swinging him into Hanabi who had been stunned from the light as well.
The konoichi raised her kunai and said "We knew Konoha was weak but this is just pathetic. I knew we didn't need Orochimaru. Now die gracefully." She raised the kunai higher and would have plunged it down if not for Naruto who had come up and was holding her hand with his right. The other hand had a clone forming the Rasengan on it. When it was formed he plunged it into he back.
Jakon looked up and saw Naruto holding her arm and then, as if a bomb had exploded in her chest, her whole front side exploded in blood and organs, Naruto's hand visible through the other side.
Hanabi couldn't believe her eyes. She had seen it through the Byakugan. She saw Naruto and the clone, watched as the chakra built up in his palm. The chakra was a surging storm in the palm of his hand. She wondered that it didn't explode as he held it there. Then he plunged the orb into her body, watched as the surging power that was caught in the sphere exploded and the woman who both Jakon and herself could not put a mark on, let alone defeat, was destroyed.
Naruto pulled his hand out of her body and she fell forward. Naruto fell down on to his hands and knees, low on blood from his fight. He was still bleeding profusely and he needed to bandage them up. He looked over at the two younger genin. Hanabi was on her back, her face pale with the blood from her cut beginning to soke her clothing. Jakon was looking up at him, lying on his stomach across her legs. He was in shock from the sight, if his face wasn't already white he would have been pale.
Naruto then looked over at Yamato. He had managed to take out one of the shinobi, who was impaled on a spike. The other one fighting fiercely, sending waves of fire jutting out with every punch. Naruto didn't think he could do anything but get in the way with his arm. But he stood up, he could still do something. He began to walk towards the fierce battle trying not to be noticed.
Yamato's battle had started with the two ninja coming at him. The first, a red haired man with bright green eyes attacked from above, and the second, a man with dark blue eyes and long brown hair and a scar running from his left eye down his face and on too his neck, attacked from below.
Yamato blocked the first with his hands and stopped the second with a kick The red haired man jumped back and threw shuriken he had grabbed midair when he landed. Yamato made several signs and made a wall off wood to catch them. The scarred man had made signs of his own and pulled up a large rock. While the rock was held mid air by the second mans chakra, the first one had made some seals and set the rock ablaze and sent it towards Yamato. He jumped back from the wall and when the rock hit the pressure and the heat caused it to explode, causing pieces of rock and wood to come flying towards him.
Making quick seals, Yamato used a replacement jutsu and instead of being impaled by the fragments from the explosion he was hidden in a tree. Using the break in combat, Yamato made several hand signs and two wood clones came out of the tree he was standing on. The clones jumped out, each one confronting one of the men. Yamato used shuriken and kunai while they fought with his clones. The fighting like this went on until a large flash came from the wagon train.
Yamato and the clones, looking in concern for the young genin, moved their attention to the flash. Both of the shinobi used the time to use their jutsu. The red haired man making a series of six hand seals, then punching at the clone with a large wave of fire that consumed the clone. The other shinobi making a few signs and sending a large rock at the clone taking off its head.
As soon as the clones were dispatched the two shinobi turned to Yamato and charged in, swiping at his feet and his chest, working in series to try and through him off balance. Finally when Yamato had managed to push both away and get some room between the two, did they mess up.
The two both jumped in pulling out kunai and going in. Yamato made some quick signs and two spikes came out of the ground. The red haired man was able to jump over the spike, obviously the faster of the two, but the scarred man was impaled.
Seeing his friend, the red haired man made the six hand seals again and started at Yamato with a barrage of fiery punches. Between the heat and the mans speed, Yamato was beginning to get burns along his sides and arms. Suddenly, after coming beside a tree, a large gust of wind came and threw the man across to another near by tree. Yamato took the opening to end the battle. He made four seals and a log of wood came up from the ground. With a punch the wood splintered and pierced the man all over his body.
It was after the final blow was struck that Naruto finally collapsed from blood loss.
Hanabi looked on in wonder as the injured Naruto blasted the remaining sound nin and watched as Yamato struck the nin down. Naruto collapsed, and Yamato ran over to him. As Yamato began to bandage his arm, she and Jakon both got to their feet and walked over to the two. As she approached she heard Yamato say "I can't believe he held its chakra in check the entire time."
Yamato looked over the two. Checking Hanabi's gash down her face and made sure that Jakon hadn't broken any bones. When he was done with them he turned to the wagons and the old woman. She was still under her wagons. When they coxed her out Yamato had them gather the bodies and placed them on the wagons. "We must search the bodies to learn anything we can." Yamato explained. They began their dreary walk back to Konoha.
For those of you who will ask: a kunai is a kunai and will still cut flesh, no matter how strong a person is. This is not DBZ.
