Into The Naruto Realm – Chapter 7

I kept changing directions, heading who knows where.

All I knew is that if Neji caught me, I'd be dead.

Crap, is he close? I don't even know… What time is it anyway?...

I quickly headed down an alley, and hid next to a garbage bin.

I had no time to look at my IPod for the time, as I heard a noise coming from the opposite side of the alley.

There were two people at the next intersection.

A small kid, and a big adult… They seemed to be fighting?..

What's going on?... Is that Konohamaru?!

"You're a crook!"

"Shut it kid before I'll kick your ass!"

Shit, Should I intervene? But Neji…Fuck it.

I sneaked up behind the man. None of them have seen me yet.

"No! You're a criminal, and I need to take you in!" Konohamaru yelled.

The adult suddenly rushed, grabbed Konohamaru, and pushed him up to the wall.

He was lifted up a few feet. I took out a kunai and reacted.

"I wouldn't hurt him if I were you…" I whispered.

He turned his head slightly.

"…Hmm, another brat eh?" He chuckled. "Excellent."

I winked at Konohamaru as I shifted the kunai in my hand.

He seemed to get the message…

"Yep, it does seem excellent sir… NOW!" I yelled.

I threw the kunai in my hand towards Konohamaru as I rushed into the man, pushing him towards the wall.

The man lost his grip on Konohamaru while the young boy caught the kunai.

I punched the guy directly in the face as we crashed into the wall.

He fell down to his butt, squirting blood from his nose.

I turned to Konohamaru as he started to grin.

"Awesome job Keito! How did you find me so late?" he asked.

"I was… uhm… walking around! You know, I love walking a lot! Hehe…" I laughed unconvincingly.

"Oh! Well lucky me! I saw this guy standing-" Konohamaru started to say.

I cut him off saying "We should go, I'm late for something!" I tried to hurry him out, me being afraid of Neji, but we heard a noise.

We turned to the side, and I almost pissed my pants.

There were more men who were holding stolen furniture and money from a nearby house.

There were about 3 more men, each taking out a different weapon as they dropped the goods.

A sword. Nunchucks. A dual-combination of a kunai and shuriken,

I and Konohamaru got into a fighting stance.

"You didn't let me finish! The first guy was probably on guard when I saw him!" He said.

It was late. A dark part of the town. One or two streetlights.

"Konohamaru… I want you to go to Lady Hokage." I sighed.

"What?! Keito, you can't take them all out, you're still in training!"

One of the men chuckled. "Hear that boys? The teen is still riding with training wheels."

"This will be a cinch, Boss!"

The third was quiet, but nodded in agreement.

"Konohamaru, go NOW! And if you find any other ninja along the way, just tell them I'm here."

"Take the kunai then!"

He gave me the kunai slowly.

'Clench'

My fists got into a ready position.

The fact that I ran a lot a while ago doesn't help with my state. Along with today's training.

Oh well. More training I guess. This time I'll learn how to survive fatal wounds.

I took out a couple of leftover shuriken, as Konohamaru started to run.

"I'LL BE BACK SOON!" He bellowed.

"To see him dead that is… HAHAHA!" the one with the sword exclaimed as he started to charge towards me.

I threw all the shuriken towards the sword man.

Let's hope this works…

"Ha! Shuriken won't work… I'm super-fast!" He yelled.

He dodged the bunch as he continued running.

I did a couple of hand signals.

"DEMON WIND SHURIKEN!"

FLASHBACK

"Is there any advice you can give me on easy hand signs?" I asked Naruto on the way back to the training grounds from Ichiraku's.

"Sure! One is Demon Wind Shuriken, which can help you a lot because you use a lot of shuriken and tools. Lemme show you..."

After a few mins of explanation...

"Wow Naruto! That's sweet! Thanks a lot!" I exclaimed.

"When did Naruto become so smart?" Sakura asked questioning me.

"Sakuraaaaaaa!" Naruto grieved.

END OF FLASHBACK

There was a small smoke as the shuriken all changed into one bigger shuriken headed towards the other two men.

"WH-WHAT?!" The Nunchucks man yelled. He ducked just in time as the shuriken crashed into the wall behind him.

Nice! Thanks Naruto!

The sword guy was distracted by the shuriken changing, as I did more hand signs.

"Clone Jutsu!"

There was yet another poof of smoke as two more of me appeared.

We started to rumble.


Konohamaru kept running until he saw a ninja he recognized.

"NEJI! Keito's in trouble!" He panted. "Criminals! … Fighting! … HE'S ALONE!"

"TAKE ME TO HIM!" Neji yelled with a bit of concern in his voice as he followed Konohamaru back to the alley.

"HEY NEJI! STOP RUNNING!" Naruto screamed. "'Sigh' Ugh We've been running for about half an hour!"

He was wearing the guitar strap while the guitar was lying on his back.

The rest of the group was following Naruto walking slowly behind him.

"OH MY KAMI! HAHAHA I still can't believe how Keito kicked Neji right in the balls!" Kiba laughed loud.

"He w-was doing it i-in self-defense!" Hinata exclaimed.

"Huh, Neji and I had a long time training this past week. Guy-sensei was stressing us all out to the point of insanity!" Tenten said.

"This is all a challenge for us to get stronger!" exclaimed Rock Lee, who was doing walking handstands.

Shino stayed quiet but kept walking along.


The Boss criminal and his remaining partner were pretty hard to take down.

It was extremely difficult. Especially with only the Nunchucks guy taken down.

That guy was a joke. One clone faked a punch, and he flinched.

I threw two shuriken to distract him, and punched him once directly in the face.

The other two were kind of shocked but knew it was going to happen.

"Do you even say anything?! Even while fighting?" I yelled at the guy with a kunai-shuriken duo.

He shook his head as he continued to block my attacks.

I need to end this soon.

I was gasping for breath.

Do I have another smoke grenade? Please god, let me have one!

I checked my pockets once again, to no avail.

Wait, I have a tiny paper bomb… Just in luck! I must have not noticed it all day! Damn, I really need to keep inventory.

"What's wrong? Getting tired brat!?" the sword man yelled.

"Nope! Just finishing my warm-up!" I screamed back.

He charged towards me again. I blocked his downwards sword attack with my only kunai.

AGH! I need to push more and do this…!

I quickly took out the paper bomb and wrapped his sword while still blocking the attack.

However, I lost my grip with the block and the sword came down near my right leg.

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I exclaimed in pain.

I dropped my kunai as the boss stepped back.

It was excruciating. To the point I couldn't keep my balance. Even though he sliced the side, it still made damage.

"HAAH!" He said in glee. He still didn't notice the paper bomb.

"Hah back to you!" I said with a pained grin.

"Huh?" He was a tiny bit confused.

I was slowly standing up.

I did one hand sign, and he suddenly realized and looked at his sword.

He threw it down, but it exploded as it fell.

I felt the force and stumbled back down.

My clones dissipated, as I stopped the jutsu.

I need the rest of my chakra to move more...

The sword man or the boss was thrown back and hit the wall, next to Nunchucks man.

He finally was knocked out.

"What?!" The kunai-shuriken duo man finally spoke.

I picked up the kunai and did a 360 degree turn and threw the kunai like a throwing knife.

I started limping to the man to follow through with my attack.

He was able to block the kunai and threw both of his weapons.

I dodged his by an inch, and picked up his shuriken.

I tripped on the floor due to lack of coordination.

He rushed forward to knock me out with a punch, but I threw the shuriken straight at his face.

He fell backwards.

'Thud'

I sighed so loud I might have been screaming.

I slowly got up to walk away, but heard a noise.

The Kunai-shuriken duo man stood up still with a shuriken in his left eye.

He ran towards me, as I staggered away.

I closed my eyes waiting for a hit.

I heard a thud, then I slowly opened my eyes.

Another teen was standing in front of me. His back was facing me.

"Ne-Neji?!" I exclaimed.

"Yes. And please forgive me about my actions earlier. I was really stressed."

He turned around.

"I forgive you. Forgive me for the kick?" I said low.

"Forgiven." Neji did a small smile.

We shook hands.

"KEITOOOOO! THERE YOU ARE!"

Ah, Naruto! Haha…

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" The group exclaimed in unison as they rushed forward.

I fell down and sat. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths.

End of Chapter 7
