Chapter Eight
Naruto hopped down from the branch he stood upon. "Well ugly, are you ready to give up?!" He knew the effort was futile but it was an attempt, that's all he could manage about now.
Eiji glared as the katana in his hand started to glow and change. Its magnificent silvery metal became a blade of lightning like chakra. Its yellow bolts flying off in every direction but keeping them in a concentrated and harmless area. Eiji lashed the blade out as sparks flew and winded through the air, trying to grasp Naruto with their thin, finger like bolts.
Naruto jumped back as he threw a tagged kunai at Eiji. The knife whizzed through the air, the small tag flapping behind it as it struck Eiji and exploded a small blast of combustion along his chest. Eiji flinched and stepped back a few times before regaining balance.
The Yodachi katana turned into a blade that emitted flames from its hilt. Eiji dashed forward and jumped into the air, shooting a beam of fire so hot that it would melt anything it touched. Naruto's eyes opened wide as he jumped out of the way. Quickly, Naruto made a handseal summoning two clones beside himself, the two then turning themselves into two separate pieces of a large shuriken.
Naruto picked up the two and attached them together as he threw them as Eiji, who had just landed on the ground. The shuriken spinning in the air aiming for Eiji, the demon only changed the katana back to its original form, but Naruto's clones had a little surprise. One of them sprung forward from their position and grabbed Eiji, turning him around and holding him in place for the shuriken to strike his back.
Eiji's vines were slightly cut off as the shuriken clone disappeared. The other ran over to Naruto and began to help him form a rasengan in his palm. Eiji stood and turned to Naruto, furiously he changed the blade to its watery form, stabbing the sword into the ground as a giant geyser rose from under the blond ninja.
The clone fell back and exploded into smoke as Naruto was forced into the air. He gritted his teeth together slamming the rasengan into the geyser as the water blast was sent into Eiji. The water forcibly pushed Eiji into the earth as the pressure made a small crater in the crust.
The beast rose from the water like a monster from a swamp. Eiji was angry, the sword reacting to his stimuli commands returned to its earth like metal form. Eiji rushed at Naruto and jumped up as he slammed the sword down into Naruto's chest.
A glow began to emit from Naruto as the force of the chakra pushed back both Eiji and Naruto. They both fell back and skid along the ground, each of them rising, and Naruto after that last strike, was unharmed.
Naruto felt a surge of power as he ran up and punched Eiji in the face, making the creature stagger back once again. He continued to deliver a few blows to Eiji as he continued to make him step further back each time. Eiji had no time to react, not even enough time to use his newly acquired demonic powers.
Eiji thrashed about as he knocked Naruto away with the hilt of his sword. Naruto fell to the ground as she snarled at Eiji, jumping back Naruto created another clone to help him form a rasen-shuriken, his last rasen-shuriken he could use for a while. Yet, Naruto noticed this one was different, as it formed each point was created from a different element, from the blazing flames of fire, to the cool wet ease of water, the hard brutishness of earth, to the electrifying sparks of lightning. In the center of it was the spinning currents of the element of wind.
Naruto saw the new technique as he smiled to himself, the clone leaving his side. Naruto turned to Eiji and ran at him. Eiji raised his blade and swung it down at Naruto, but Naruto had already struck him with the new technique, he yelled into the forest, "Five Element Rasen-Shuriken!"
Eiji was thrown back into the air. He flew back and was slammed into the ground by gravity, the vines around his body started to die and wither. The Yodachi blade itself started to absorb its chakra once again.
Idato walked out of the brush pass the defeated man. He knelt down and picked up the sword as he took it back to its vine sheath. He held the blade out to the forest that held it as the vines of the forest gently took the blade from him and let it hang like it had been, changing between the elements in the cycle as it once was.
"Yahoo!" Tenten yelled from the brush as she and the others stepped out. "Naruto did it!"
"I have to admit, that was impressive!" Shikamaru said, patting him on the back.
"Excuse me." A man said as he approached, he looked to be an ANBU black ops unit. "Lady Tsunade requested I come and take a man into custody. I'll be taking things over from here."
"All right, he's all yours.." Shikamaru said, turning to the ANBU.
The Konoha shinobi, Seira, and Idato began to walk back to town as the ANBU arrested Eiji for his crimes.
"Say old man, what are you going to do now that you found out about the legend?" Naruto asked Idato.
"Keep it that way." Idato replied as he beamed the same smile he gave them from before.
"Why so?" Hayai asked.
"Yes, why Grandfather?" Seira asked him as well.
"Because, there are some secrets that should always be secrets!" Idato replied with a hearty laugh.
