Hakurei: I 'm back and better than ever
Naruto: Can we begin the chapter now? I need to rescue Kurenai and Hinata, then kick Gato's ass
Hakurei: Okay, okay! Jeez, I do the disclaimer! I don't own Naruto or Blade, just the games and movies
Chapter 5- The Blade's Coming of Age
"Hey, Naruto, maybe you should hack into Gato's computer to get his money." Yumi suggested.
Naruto nodded and sent a Kage Bunshin into the room. "Okay, this is it, I sense about 40…maybe 50 mercenaries, thanks to the poison gas and explosives, I must have terminated about half of his force and since Zabuza and Haku dispatched those two wanna-be samurai and the rest lurking around, these must be the last ones here. Damn it, they never make things easy. Every boss always has 100 or more expendable goons to slow people down." Naruto thought.
Yumi replied, "How about we give them a warm welcome…by snapping their necks!" Naruto, in agreement, kicked the door open and said, "Hiya, fellas!"
The Jinchuuriki slowly walked forward until he was in the middle of the crowd and a tall, muscular man came in front of him. "I don't know who the hell you are, but you made a big mistake and you aren't leaving this place alive."
The man tried to stab him, but the new Daywalker sent a palm strike to the chin, grabbed his speak and sunk the tip into his gut. The mercenaries took a few minutes to comprehend the event and began to swarm Naruto.
Naruto back kicked one and used the momentum to kick another in front of him using the same leg.
Then he used the spear as a pole and swung around it, kicking in a circular motion, and then he brought the spear up to slash downwards, discarding the corpse still clinging on the spear at a nearby group.
Next, he threw the spear, which pinned someone's head to the wall, making bits of skull, brain, and blood spattered over the porcelain wall.
"This should be fun." Naruto said as he pressed play on his portable boom box.
(New Order-Confusion plays, if you have watched Blade, it is the song in the first movie where Blade crash the vampire rave party) Naruto gave a merc a solid kick to the chest, caving in his ribs into his vital organs, and then he grabbed the dead body and flung into a group forming behind him.
Soon a sword strike cut Naruto's cheek and another cut into his back, Naruto gritted his teeth in pain to retaliate with a savage palm thrust to the head.
A merc equipped with a rusty knife tried to shank him in his blind spot, but fortunately Naruto was groomed to "sense" people around him and pivoted on his heel to maneuver out of harm's way. The Jinchuuriki took the merc's own arm to make his stab himself in the kidney.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto growled.
15 clones appeared and proceeded to maim or kill the mercenaries with gusto. Soon screams of pain filled the room as soon as Naruto unsheathed their blades, quickly and efficiently killing and separating body parts.
Soon his clones were dispatched and 10 highly scarred mercenaries were left before Naruto. "Please let us go." Said one to the Jinchuuriki.
The boy….no, man shook his head, "Your lives are forfeit, I know the kind of people you are. You rape, pillage, steal and kill innocents for fun, pleasure or money. You will never be able to harm people this way…come, meet your executioner, your Shinigami."
The ten men looked at each other and charged at him, hanging on to the last shred of hope that they would emerge victorious.
Naruto slipped into his stance and blocked a spear thrust from one and punched another. Then he sliced one's neck with his sword and kicked the mercenary who vouched for his fellow money-grubbing thieves' lives.
Next, he moved left, elbowing one in the ribs, then stabbed the point of his blade into the area of the collarbone. Then he grabbed a fleeing mercenary by the neck and with a quick pinching motion, he crushed his windpipe with an audible snap.
Naruto gave the remaining five a smile as he threw two of his glaives at them, giving them a new way to breathe in their necks and blood spattered in a mist-like motion. "Good, now there is assurance that nobody will interfere with this. Now to save my friends! Yumi, are you ready!"
Yumi joked, "Red 5, standing by! Let's kick this guy's punk ass!" Naruto ran into the room see a bleeding Kurenai and Hinata with a morphing Gato.
Naruto discreetly made a Kage Bunshin and carried the both of them out of the room. Kurenai's eyes widened in surprise at the appearance of Naruto, who silently put a finger to his lips.
Soon he met up with Zabuza and Haku, Kurenai spoke, "Naruto, what are you doing here? Where are the others? Why isn't Zabuza attacking?"
Naruto dressed her wounded thigh, "I came here to rescue you, everyone else is asleep and I told Zabuza of Gato's plan to kill him after he killed Tazuna, so his contract is void and he will be joining us for the evening."
Kurenai said, "Then you…" Naruto stared at her intently, "I did what I had to do, plus they would have done countless things to you two." Kurenai then retorted, "But you should have alerted Kakashi, why did you tell him about this meeting?"
Naruto mused, "Because if I know Kakashi, he wouldn't listen to me especially since my tenant told me about this blood ritual. I'm pretty sure that he holds some resentment against it and will tell me not to listen to it. After all, his sensei, the Yondaime, did die fighting it, right?"
The Ice Queen thought to herself, "Kakashi and Yondaime-sama were close after Obito died and Rin's disappearance (wink wink, nudge nudge) He would hold some kind of resentment to the Kyuubi." Naruto finished and used the rest of the sterile bandages to tie around Hinata's thigh, "Now Zabuza, Haku…your new assignment is to take Kurenai-sensei and Hinata out of here. I'm going to stop Gato."
Kurenai's ruby eyes widened at his order, "What? No! You can't stop Gato all by yourself, you will be killed." Naruto looked at her, "You or Hinata-san are in no condition to fight, but your wound is worse than Hinata's. Plus I am not going to risk Zabuza and Haku's lives when I am fully capable of risking mine. Remember, I have an inner power."
Kurenai said, "No, Naruto, I will not let you throw away your life like this." Naruto argued, "And why not?" Kurenai struggled to find an answer while she thought, "Because Hinata would die if she found out that I could not stop you."
Naruto continued, "Look, Kurenai-sensei, Gato has superhuman strength due to the ritual. With my high pain tolerance level and an incredible healing factor, I am the most capable to defeat him. If I don't kill him now, Wave will be destroyed and soon he will try to conquer the other countries."
Kurenai protested, "But I can't let you do that…it would break Hinata's heart to find out someone died for her sake."
Naruto said softly, checking his inventory, "Then it is best that she forgot about me." Kurenai yelled, "Naruto, I am ordering you to stand…"
Naruto suddenly slammed his fist into her solar plexus, knocking her unconscious, then he turned to Zabuza and Haku. "I was wondering when you were gonna shut her up." Zabuza said.
Naruto said, "You get these two and yourselves the hell out of here, when you are 5 meters away from here, wake up Kurenai or Hinata to escort you to Tazuna's house, alright?" The ex-mist nin nodded and shunshined away from the premises.
Little did they know that Hinata was awake during the whole conservation.
"Here we go!" Naruto thought as he turned toward the doors and kicked them open to the new Gato. Gato's business clothes were rags and luckily a tattered amount covered his nether regions.
Gato grew from 4'1" to 5'8" and had bulging muscles. "Who the hell are you? Where is Zabuza?" Gato demanded. Naruto answered, "He is gone and me…I am your executioner."
Gato scoffed, "Ha! Like you can defeat me now! Now I am stronger than ever, I will rule Wave with an iron fist."
Gato made the first move by charging in with his newfound speed. "Shit!" Naruto thought, "He is fast and strong since he completed that damn ritual, I gotta be careful around him. One fatal mistake and it will be the end of me."
Gato laughed crazily, "HAHAHAHAHAHA! What marvelous power! Nobody has the power to defeat me." Gato threw a punch, but Naruto ducked under his arm and sent a hit to his chest. Gato smirked as he took it without a wince, "My turn!"
Naruto was sent crashing into a wall. "Ow, that fucking hurt. Let's see how he responds to a chakra-infused fist now." Naruto winced as he pulled himself from the wall.
Naruto's eyes widened as Gato suddenly appeared in front of him and kicked him across the room, then the tyrant moved quickly to grab the back of Naruto's head and dragged his face against the floor to heave him across the room.
"Ugh…" Naruto got up, coughing up blood. "I need a distraction." The Jinchuuriki brought up his hands to form his favorite hand sign and shouted, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" 20 clones appeared and attacked Gato, distracting the tycoon enough for the real Naruto to release his weights.
"Time to break his neck!"Yumi shouted, "Let's show him what we can do!" (Here Comes The Boom by Nelly plays)
As the last clone was destroyed, Naruto hit Gato with a chakra-infused kick, making Gato stumble back, but he did not stop there.
Naruto rushed in and punched Gato in his stomach, then another one to the chin, causing Gato's head to snap back up. Naruto followed up with a roundhouse punch and a strong right hook to the head, making Gato crash into a nearby wall.
Gato pushed himself out of the crater and felt something wet covering the left side of his face. He slowly raised his shaking hand to feel it and put it in front of his eyes to see blood.
"No…I'm invincible, I am stronger than this… I can't be defeated especially by a short, pathetic weakling." The man howled. Naruto chose the time to smirk, "Well, this short, pathetic weakling hacked your bank accounts, killed all of your mercenaries and sold all of your stocks." Gato paled, "You're bluffing!"
Naruto's smirk widened even further, "Your account number 8006-6696-4678." Gato's fears were confirmed as Naruto continued, "Face it, even if you manage to kill me, you have to start over from scratch and you will never get your account back since I transferred them to mine."
Gato smirked, "Then I just subdue you and have Zabuza torture those two female friends of yours." Naruto smirked wide (picture Gin's creepy smile...insert shudder) "I figured you would try to do that which is why I outbidded your contract to kill Tazuna and hired him to protect Kurenai, Hinata and Tazuna lest I am defeated."
Gato roared in rage as he picked up a mercenary's katana and charged recklessly at his opponent. Naruto instantly unsheathed his own to clash against Gato's wild strike.
The two adversaries traded blow after blow-Gato with his speed and power against Naruto with 'years' of experience and youth. Soon Naruto gained the upper hand and disarmed him effectively, "It's over!"
Zabuza and Haku- The two mist ninjas, both carrying Kurenai and Hinata respectively decided to rest a bit from fatigue. "Haku, if your new friend actually pulls this thing off, we're going to Konoha to enlist."
Haku raised his eyebrow, "Why is that, Zabuza-sama?" Zabuza responded with a shrug, "To be honest, I have no clue, it's like someone is implanting these words in my mouth and plus I have a feeling that boy is going to be great someday including the fact that I kinda considered you like my own son." Haku said, "Zabuza-sama."
Zabuza said, "Anyway we gotta keep it moving." The two nukenins walked back and started to grab Kurenai and Hinata, but when Haku went to grab Hinata, he fell through her body. "Shit! A Bunshin, that damn girl!" Zabuza cursed.
Haku said, "She must have used Kawarimi and sent more chakra to retain the clone's solid form…she must be here somewhere."
But then he paled, "Zabuza-sama, I believe we are in deep shit…very deep shit." Zabuza knew instantly from experience when Haku cursed, he was serious, pissed or scared.
"What's the matter, Haku?" the ex-jonin asked his apprentice. Haku answered, "What if she heard our conservation and went back to the hideout."Oh, fuck me..." Zabuza shouted as he grabbed Kurenai and ran back with Haku.
Naruto-"Give up, Gato!" Naruto said. Gato was about to plead for his life and admit defeat until he noticed movement over by the door.
Before Naruto could comprehend Gato's actions, the man moved quickly and caught the figure. The figure was…. (A/N: I could have been an ass and left you hanging but I am going to continue) "Hinata!" Naruto shouted.
Gato shouted with an evil sneer, "Drop your weapon or the girl dies!" Naruto narrowed his eyes, "You despicable coward!" Gato tightened his grip on Hinata's neck and arm, "Do it!" he hissed out.
Naruto took his sword and threw it aside, "Now let her go!" Gato gave him a sickening smile as he said, "As you wish!" Then he carelessly 'tossed' her away heavily into a wall. "Hinata!" Naruto shouted as he rushed to her side.
He quickly felt for a pulse…he waited, waited and waited. "No, this can't be the end!" Naruto thought.
Evil Cliffhanger no Jutsu success!
Naruto- Comment you know you are really a bastard for doing that to your NaruxHina fans
Hakurei-Well, it keeps the suspense up, maybe I should wait a week to release the next chapter
Naruto- Do it and I will kill you!
Hakurei- Silly Naruto, your jutsu can't harm me! Do you know who I am? I am Hakureisaiga, bitch!
