Chapter 9
The Misty Swamp of Death
"Attention everyone!" shouted Ao, the overall examiner for the Chuunin exams. "The second part of the exam will be held in a special training ground here in the Hidden Mist. The location is the 'Misty Swamp of Death' as we call it."
Whisperings were heard among the genins who were there. Talks of being scared and being excited were mumbled.
"Just like the Forest of Death. This will be exciting." shouted Naruto.
"Hn. Can't they think of other types of exams other than survival? This is boring." grumbled Sasuke.
"What do you mean? It's not like survival and stealing information is one of the basics of being a shinobi. I bet it will be scroll stealing again and this time it will be more fun now that we're more stronger as well as the other examinees."
"I mean to say this is boring because it's too easy." bragged the raven.
"You're too cocky, Sasuke. Let's just take the exam and decide whether it's boring or not after we pass it, alright."
"Hn." muttered Sasuke.
"The goal of this part of the exams is to determine your over-all shinobi skill. If you are truly worthy of becoming Chuunins, this phase is something that you need to pass. The exams after this phase judges your fighting abilities but this phase is more than fighting. It is a simulation of a high-ranked mission which only true Chuunins will be able to complete." explained Ao.
"The objectives of the second exam are simple. First, you have to gain 3 scrolls. One is given to you before the exam starts. The two others, you will have to steal from the other teams. Second, all your team members must survive. If one dies or is seriously injured, all of you will fail. Remember that teamwork is essential for a shinobi, which means an injured teammate implies lack of teamwork, because the other members were not able to protect their fellow member. Third, the mission must be completed within a week and within that week you have to go into the center of the swamp where a training temple is located. You may only go there when you've secured the three scrolls. Remember that these scrolls may not be opened until you arrive at the training temple. Understood?"
"Yes sir!" the genins shouted in unison.
"Now we would want you to sign these consent forms and then after that your team will get their scrolls from the reception desk inside the Mizukage's tower. When you've done that, a Mist Ninja will be accompanying you to your starting positions at the swamp. Everyone, do your best and make your villages proud!" commanded Ao.
…..
Team Taka went inside the tower to sign the consent forms and get their scrolls. Unlike last time, the scrolls were just handed to them in the open. They asked why they gave it where other teams can see but they explained that any scroll from the other teams will do.
"It looks like the test is mainly for survival, fighting and stealing skills. It doesn't test information gathering. We don't even have to find out if the opponent has the scroll we need. We just have to get it from them unlike the last time where there are Heaven and Earth scrolls." said Sasuke.
"Yeah but unlike last time, we need to get two scrolls which mean it will be harder too." Naruto commented.
"Not to mention the test will be held in a swamp which means there are more diverse terrain than the Forest of Death in the Hidden Leaf. And also the everlasting mist." added Karin, much to the two's surprise. Karin really didn't talk that much.
"Come on. Let's stop the talk and look for someone already to escort us to the Misty Swamp of Death. I just want to get this over with." Sasuke lazily said. The exam didn't really excite him that much. The objectives were almost the same and the location was very similar.
"Couldn't you be more excited about this Sasuke? Our last mission, that was boring, but at last we get to see some action." said the slightly pissed blond. Pissed at Sasuke for ruining his excitement.
They did find someone to accompany them and so they headed for the starting point. When they reached it they were astounded or more like creeped out, at least Naruto and Karin. The swamp was similar to the Forest of Death alright, but they were tons different. Instead of normal trees, the trees there were submerged in water. Almost all the ground was submerged in water. It was a swamp after all. And not only that, the mist was as thick as if you were in top of the mountains. Surely they realize why this was called the Misty Swamp of Death.
"Uhmm, (gulp) Sasuke? Do you think we should really get in there? It's so creepy and misty and wet. Who knows what creatures are under the water there?" Karin practically shivered and she held Sasuke's arms.
"Are you really scared or are you just making an excuse to hold me, Karin?" Sasuke easily saw through Karin's advancements and quickly shrugged it off.
"Can't I be scared? I'm a girl you know." hissed Karin.
"And quite an annoying one." remarked the raven.
"Sasuke you're such a jerk. With that attitude you'll probably die without even having a girlfriend." Karin commented. Apparently Sasuke was taken aback by the rude comment and snarled back at Karin.
"Says the girl who dresses for show and can't even have a single guy to hit on her."
"What the hell did you say?!" Karin was furious and started to attack Sasuke, but thankfully Naruto was there to stop her. Naruto held her firmly on the waist.
"Hey, calm down Karin. I'm sure Sasuke doesn't mean that." Naruto said calmly.
"Let go off me Blondie! I need to punch that guy in the face for even daring to say that." Karin struggled to get off Naruto but after 20 seconds she finally started to calm down. She didn't know why exactly but somehow having Naruto hold her on her waist made her lose his anger towards Sasuke.
'What is this feeling? Somehow I feel calm. Oh no, I'm blushing. Why is that? Is it Naruto? No it can't be. I like Sasuke. But Naruto's holding me and it kind of makes my knees wobble.' Karin thought.
Finally Naruto let go of Karin and they managed to stop the insulting and proceed into the swamp. They headed for the center, hoping to meet paths with another shinobi team from which they can take their first scroll. It was not even an hour in the swamp and they already found another shinobi team. Karin of course was the first to sense them. With her Eye of the Kagura, she could sense chakra for a very long distance, which was to their advantage. She told it to them and Sasuke decided that they should stop to plan their next move.
"Tell us of the enemy Karin." Sasuke said.
"They're just 200 meters in front of us and they appear to not be moving from their position which is on solid ground unlike the other parts of the swamp. They're probably also planning out what to do in the exam. I also sense that they are not ordinary genins. The amount of their chakra is large which means they are very well trained at using jutsus. I suggest we use caution if we are to engage them." explained Karin.
"Maybe we should face them. Stronger opponents might actually take my boredom away. If we were to fight weak genins then we'll just be laughed upon. So what do you say Naruto?" asked the raven.
"Bring it on!" The fire on Naruto's eyes started to glow. It was clearly seen that his excitement is overflowing from the way his heart rate started to rise. Karin easily sensed it and it made her kind of excited too.
"So, do we face them head on or do a sneak attack?" Sasuke asked.
"If they are skilled genins then surprise attacks probably won't work on them. I say we just face them and fight it out. I still think we can take them on." bragged Naruto.
"Now who's the cocky one? Don't underestimate our opponents Naruto. Always expect the unexpected." advised Sasuke.
"Come one, enough talk. Ikutte ba yo!" Naruto advanced.
…..
Team Taka appeared in front of the other shinobi team. They were genins from the Village Hidden in the Grass. But they were no ordinary Genins. The group was about the same age as they are. It looked like the other team was already aware that Team Taka was coming and already prepared for battle, as seen by their formation.
One of the shinobi was male, had dark brown hair, red eyes and was taller than all of them. On his hands he wore claw blades, much like the one Sora uses. Next to him was another male shinobi, who had silver hair and pale eyes with a tint of green, the same height as Sasuke and carried a sword. The third member of the team was a girl who looked a lot like Naruto, with blond hair and blue eyes and about the same height as Karin.
The two teams stood in front of each other, waiting for the other to make a move. But before the fighting started, the ever arrogant Sasuke spoke.
"We do not really want to fight you guys so I suggest that you just hand us your scroll and you won't have to get hurt." offered Sasuke.
"You must be crazy if you think we're going to do that, Uchiha." the brunette from the other team shouted back.
"So you know who we are and you're still not backing down? You're going to regret it." taunted the raven.
"Ryuuzaki, go for Uzumaki." the brunette who appeared to be their team leader ordered his silver-haired team member. "Yuuren, go for the red-haired girl." he said to his female blond haired teammate. "I'll be fighting Uchiha."
'I don't know what is with these guys. They certainly know who we are and yet they still intend to face us head on. What if they know about the chakra tags? Yes, if they know that I can't use my Mangekyou Sharingan and Naruto can't use the Nine Tails' chakra, they probably believe they have the advantage. But no matter how strong they think they are, they're still no match for us." Sasuke thought, preparing for battle and taking out his sword.
The fight started and each of the members of the Grass shinobi team advanced to their targets. The first to attack was the brunette, Enmaru, who lunged forward to attack Sasuke with his claw-blade gauntlets. Sasuke immediately held out his sword to defend from the claw-blade, and enhanced it with his lightning chakra. To his surprise, his opponent's claw-blade didn't cut in half as he expected his lightning-enhanced sword would do. Instead it just resisted his sword as if it was an ordinary one. Sasuke backed away, breaking the contact of his sword from the claw-blade.
Using his Sharingan, he studied the blade and noticed that it was also enhanced with chakra, which looked like fire chakra nature transformation. He wondered why the claw-blade was not burning or turning red with the heat but he suspected that like Naruto's tantou, it must have been made especially for fire chakra.
Wanting to test his theory, Sasuke performed hand signs and sucked in some air.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
A huge sphere of flame came out of Sasuke's mouth and went for his opponent.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
From the direction of his opponent, the same huge sphere of flame also erupted and canceled Sasuke's own Fireball Jutsu. His theory that his opponent was a Fire Style user was proven correct. Since they were both using the same style, Sasuke figured that he needed to attack in a different way.
'Looks like I have to try my new jutsu on this guy.'
…..
Naruto waited for his opponent who was charging at him and prepared his new tantou, excitedly wanting to try it out in battle. But his opponent suddenly disappeared underground and caught him off guard. The next thing he knew, he was grabbed by his opponent from behind and felt that his chakra was being sucked away. But Naruto today was not Naruto before. Once he felt his chakra being siphoned, he disappeared and teleported to a nearby location which he earlier marked with the jutsu formula.
His opponent, Ryuuzaki, was surprised that Naruto suddenly disappeared from his grasp. Because of the Great Ninja War, information about Sasuke and Naruto, about their abilities and chakra nature was already well known around the Ninja World. He didn't know that Naruto knew teleportation, but then he figured that it must be the same jutsu of the Fourth Hokage, which was also known to be Naruto's father.
'So he can do the teleportation jutsu of the Yellow Flash of the Leaf. No matter, I've already did what I intended from the start. I've siphoned his chakra and now my chakra nature has changed into wind.' Ryuuzaki thought to himself.
"Come out Uzumaki, if you're man enough to face me. Or are you just going to teleport your way out of danger like a coward?" taunted Ryuuzaki.
"Alright, I hear you loudmouth. You better prepare yourself 'cause I'm going to be attacking you. Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto made the cross-shaped hand sign and out popped 5 clones.
"Making clones do battle for you. Hah, you really are a coward." insulted Ryuuzaki as he pulled out his own sword and swung it at the direction of the clones.
"Wind Style: Wind Scythe Jutsu!"
The 5 clones were cut in half and then disappeared. Naruto was shocked to find that he was fighting another Wind Style user.
'It looks like we both use Wind Style, and with that jutsu of his, my clones won't be able to go near him. I better think of a strategy.' Naruto thought. And then a bright idea popped into his mind making him smirk.
He made 5 Shadow Clones again but now sent them from different directions to attack. Ryuuzaki, just as he did earlier, used Wind Scythe Jutsu to get rid of the clones. There were still two clones attacking Ryuuzaki, one in front and one from behind. He swung his sword at the direction of the one in front and it disappeared and then he immediately turned back to deal with the other clone. But before he was able to swing his sword once more he heard from behind,
"Rasengan!"
Naruto hit Ryuuzaki directly on his back bringing him down to the ground, smashing the earth below them. Ryuuzaki coughed up blood but as strong as the Rasengan was, he was still conscious but unable to move, though he could still speak.
"Ho-how did you?" Ryuuzaki asked almost in a whisper.
'I put a jutsu formula on the clones I made so just before the clone you took out disappeared completely, I have already teleported there under the cover of its smoke, so when you were aiming for the last one behind you, you didn't know I was already behind you, with my Rasengan ready.' Naruto thought to say but decided against it.
"Sorry I can't tell. We're taking up the Chuunin exams and I don't want anyone knowing about my abilities." Naruto replied, looking down at Ryuuzaki, who was desperately pushing his arms off the ground trying to stand and look at his opponent.
"You're going to kill me anyway (cough), so might as well tell me." Ryuuzaki requested, believing that Naruto was going to finish him off then and there.
"I'm not going to kill you. The objective of this phase of the exam is to steal scrolls, not kill other examinees." Naruto explained.
"You really are from the Hidden Leaf. Soft as ever." Those were Ryuuzaki's last words before he fell into unconsciousness. Naruto has hit him in the back of the head.
"Sorry about that, but I have to make sure you wouldn't cause us anymore trouble." Naruto said to the downed Ryuuzaki before heading towards one of his teammate's direction.
…..
Karin was now just a few meters away from her opponent, Yuuren. The blond girl, from her looks, suggested that she was probably a taijutsu user. She didn't have any long bladed weapons, only kunais and shurikens perhaps. But Karin also sensed that the kunoichi possesses lightning chakra nature, which made her worry. Taijutsu and lighting put together is a very deadly combination. As a medical ninja, she knew that and prepared herself, activating her Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
Yuuren disappeared from view and suddenly appeared in front of her, but thanks to her Mind's Eye, she detected the movement just in time for her to dodge the attack. She backed away only to be followed by the super-fast kunoichi.
'She's so fast! I wouldn't be able to keep up with her much longer. She's probably using her lighting chakra to increase her speed.'
Yuuren advanced again and started to give a barrage of precisions attack with the index and middle fingers of her hand. Karin immediately noticed where Yuuren was aiming and with the help of her Mind's Eye, she was able to distribute enough chakra to the body points that Yuuren targeted. And with all those barrages, Karin managed to concentrate her chakra on her right arm and successfully landed a punch at Yuuren, sending her flying through a tree.
'That was close. She was clearly using trying to send out electricity through those fingers of hers. If I didn't provide the chakra enough to block those attacks, it would have been very bad.' Karin thought. She felt her body weaken. 'It looks like her attack still managed to get through, even though a little bit. I need to finish her now.'
The dust from the collision of Yuuren to the tree started to disappear and the sight made Karin stare in shock. Yuuren didn't even look hurt by the attack she gave. She was standing there like it was nothing.
"You're not the only one who is a master of chakra control. An attack like that wouldn't be able to do me any damage. Now it's my turn." She weaved hand signs. "Ninja Art: Blades of Grass Jutsu!"
Around her, all the grass in the ground started to be uprooted and levitated in the air, completely surrounding Yuuren. Karin sensed the chakra infused with the blades of grass. It really had turned into blades.
'What do I do? If I get hit by those I'll be in a lot more pieces.' Karin thought.
With another hand sign by Yuuren, the blades of grass started to fly towards Karin. Karin was no expert in nature transformation which she now wished she had studied, but it has to be medical ninjutsu she took. She powered up her legs and sprang from the ground, evading the grass shurikens. But she wasn't fast enough that a second wave of grass shurikens was flying towards her and since she's in the air, she couldn't evade them. She was struck in at least 40 different parts of her body and she came crashing down to the ground.
"Now. Time to finish you off." Yuuren said as she walked towards Karin's bloodied body. She pulled out a kunai from her pouch and infused it with lightning chakra. She raised it up and then brought it down, aiming for Karin's heart. But she saw a flash and her kunai was thrown off from her grip, now in two pieces.
"Naruto." Karin gasped. Standing in front of her was Naruto, holding his wind chakra infused tantou against Yuuren.
"I'm sorry that I wasn't able to help you earlier Karin. I could have prevented you from sustaining all those cuts in your body." Naruto apologized.
"Thank you. But you finish her off now. I'm in no condition to fight." Karin said.
"Alright. Let me take you somewhere safe before I deal with her." Naruto carried Karin bridal-style and then teleported off to a location which he marked with the jutsu formula, not to far from the battlefield but far enough so that Karin wouldn't be in danger.
"Don't worry about me Naruto. These cuts are superficial. Simple medical ninjutsu ought to stop the bleeding." assured the redhead.
"Are you sure?" Naruto was worried about Karin. He always remembered what Kakashi said to them when they were battling Zabuza,
'I won't allow my comrades to die. I'll protect you with my life. Trust me.'
Even though Naruto wanted to defeat his opponents, his comrades always came first to him. Even though he only knew Karin for a short amount of time, she was his teammate and she comes first. He made sure that no one was going to be near Karin before he teleported back to Yuuren.
…..
After coming out of the shock when Naruto suddenly appeared and sliced her kunai in two, Yuuren watched as Naruto and Karin teleported right in front of her.
"Those cowards! Running away when facing death." she yelled.
At 7 o'clock from her position, she saw that Enmaru was still fighting with Sasuke, balls of flames coming out of their mouths as it engulfed the trees surrounding them. She decided it was time she helped Enmaru fight against Sasuke, now that her current enemy was gone. She ran as fast as she could, using her lighting chakra to speed her way. Before coming in contact with Enmaru, she noticed her teammate Ryuuzaki unconscious on the ground, with a spiral mark on the skin of his back, his shirt with a hole.
"Weakling." She spat at her teammate, furious that he was easily defeated in such a short amount of time.
Looking up towards the left she saw Sasuke and Enmaru exchanging Fire Style jutsus. She ran towards Sasuke as fast as she could, trying to land a chakra enhanced punch but Sasuke, with his Sharingan avoided it with ease.
'Two against one. Was Karin defeated? What about Naruto?' Sasuke thought. 'Looks like I really have to use my new jutsu. The guy uses fire and I believe this girl uses lightning, judging by how fast she moved.'
Sasuke made hand signs and a clone appeared beside him. The clone headed towards Enmaru while Sasuke headed for Yuuren.
"Are you mocking me? To think that you're going to send a clone to fight against me. You'll pay for underestimating me!" shouted Enmaru.
"Fire Style: Onidoro"
Small balls of oni-looking flames surrounded Enmaru. It almost practically covered his body since there were about 50 fireballs encircling him. Anyone who tries to go near him is sure to burn.
"Now try coming over to me." he challenged the Sasuke Clone. He was confident that the clone will be destroyed once one of his Onidoro fire balls hit it so he charged at the clone. His Onidoro met with the clone, but unlike what he expected, the clone didn't just disappear. It turned into lightning which now travelled across his whole body. The Onidoro fire balls were useless as they slowly disappeared as Enmaru started to fall on his knees, his body getting paralyzed from the lightning.
'I guessed that got rid of him. But it really took a good amount of chakra. Maybe I should have just used Chidori Stream rather than a Chidori Clone.' Sasuke thought as he heard Enmaru fall down, barely able to scream due to the shock the Chidori Clone delivered.
'Dammit. Even our team captain was taken out. And now I'm facing the real Sasuke Uchiha.' Yuuren thought but her resolve was not shaken. She charged towards Sasuke with lightning speed. Sasuke who also uses lightning chakra to increase his speed and perception failed to dodge Yuuren's attack which hit one of his legs.
'She's so fast I couldn't even dodge her. If I didn't have lighting enhanced speed and my Sharingan I would have taken a direct blow and my leg would have been broken.' Sasuke tried to stand up as soon as he dodged Yuuren's first attack but he couldn't. He couldn't straighten his right leg. His hamstring was contracting very painfully keeping his right knee bent for about 45 degrees making him unable to use his right leg for support.
Yuuren didn't waste time to go for a second attack, this time making sure to hit a vital spot in Sasuke. Sasuke started to use Fireball Jutsu, figuring that any Lightning Style attack would be useless against someone with lightning armor too. But Yuuren's perception and reflex was so fast she noticed Sasuke's hand signs and quickly swerved around to dodge the Fireball Jutsu and aimed for Sasuke's heart from the back. But before her pinpoint lightning-enhanced taijutsu attack reached Sasuke, a flash of orange and blue appeared in front of her.
"Giant Ball Rasengan!"
The last thing Yuuren saw was that flash of blue chakra before fading into unconsciousness as the Rasengan hit her and sent her spiraling towards the trees, breaking at least two before her body was stopped by the third tree she hit.
"I hope that didn't kill her." mumbled Naruto.
"Don't worry. She has lightning armor so even with your Giant Rasengan, she'll make it through albeit not without injuries." said Sasuke.
"Can you stand?" asked Naruto offering his hand to Sasuke to help him up.
"Not yet. My right leg muscles keep contracting involuntarily since it got hit with her taijutsu. She must have used lightning chakra to simulate the effects of nerve impulses to make my muscles contract." Sasuke explained.
"We need to get Karin to fix that. And we need to find their scroll. I checked the other guy I was facing back a while ago and he didn't have it. I'm going to go check on her if she has it. Oh by the way, where is that other guy you were facing a while ago?" Naruto asked.
"I used a Lightning Clone to knock him out a while ago, he should be…" Sasuke stopped as he looked over to the direction of Enmaru to find that he was gone from where Sasuke last saw him.
"He's not there and I can't sense him anywhere. Be careful Naruto. He's not the type to flee from a fight. I'm sure he's hiding and waiting for the perfect time to strike."
"So what do we do?" asked Naruto.
"He's a Fire Style user so between us, only my Lightning Style would be able to defeat him. But if we combine your Wind Style and my Fire Style, we should be able to create a much stronger flame which can overpower his." Sasuke suggested.
"No I have a better idea. You know how Jounins are supposed to possess more than one chakra nature? Well maybe it's time to show you my other chakra nature. I have been practicing with it in secret and only Kakashi-sensei knows about it." said Naruto.
"Are you sure you want to show it to me now? I mean you can use it as an ace between our fight in the finals."
"Hahh. Even if you do know my abilities, you still won't be able to beat me Sasuke." Naruto laughed at Sasuke's statement. "Besides, I really want to try it in a real fight."
"Okay then. Tell me your plan."
Naruto told him the strategy he thought of that could be used against Enmaru.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
10 Shadow Clones appeared around them and scattered to find Enmaru's location. Not a minute later, fire has erupted left from their position. Two of Naruto's clones have engaged Enmaru and have been destroyed, leaving Naruto the information of Enmaru's location. Without wasting time, Naruto teleported himself and Sasuke near the location of Enmaru which one of his clones has marked with the jutsu formula.
They found Enmaru just finishing of the last of Naruto's clones and now looking at them. He had a very determined look on his face as he looked towards Naruto and Sasuke's determination. There were about an 8 meter distance between them. Enmaru started to weave hand signs.
But with Sasuke's Sharingan, he instantly recognized the jutsu Enmaru was going to use and started to concentrate his own chakra on his hand to make his Chidori. He didn't even need to use hand signs to use the jutsu. Naruto on the other hand, started to weave his own hand signs for the jutsu to be used in combination with Sasuke's Chidori.
"Fire Style" Fire Dragon Jutsu!"
"Water Style: Mouth of the Serpent!"
"Chidori Stream!"
Within that moment, all three of them released their jutsu. Enmaru's Fire Dragon against Naruto's Mouth of the Serpent with Sasuke's Chidori Stream flowing through it. And then the result was simple physics. Enmaru's Fire Dragon was extinguished by the Mouth of the Serpent and Enmaru got hit with it, delivering yet another Chidori though his body, this time knocking him out for good.
"I guess that gets rid of him." Naruto mumbled.
"You know we could have still defeated him using the combination of your Wind Style: Gale Palm and my Fireball Jutsu." said Sasuke.
"Yeah you're right but I figured out a while ago that he was their team captain since he's the one who gave out order on which of his teammates fights who so there's a huge chance that he's the one with the scroll. If we used Fire Style then we could have burned both that guy and the scroll." Naruto grinned widely as he explained the reason for his strategy as if it were obvious and that Sasuke should have figured it out.
"I'm surprised you thought of that too." Sasuke said, trying to sound like he also thought of it.
"You know, you shouldn't really be surprised Sasuke. You are looking at the future Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village so me thinking of something like that is only natural." Naruto laughed again at Sasuke's comment. Most of the time he does something amazing it really gets into his head. "And you do know that a fox spirit lives inside me so when it comes to battle, I'm as clever as a fox."
Naruto was still laughing as he felt his jacket being pulled and his lips crashing towards Sasuke's. He immediately responded to the kiss and held Sasuke. When it was time for them to breathe Sasuke said,
"You talk way too much."
"Sorry. I can't help it."
"Thanks for saving me."
"I'm always here for you Sasuke."
"As am I."
They kissed again, making it seem like a thing you do to celebrate victory. But their celebration has to take a break as they still need to take the scroll from Enmaru before the guy wakes up again. Naruto found the scroll under Enmaru's jacket. He read the character written on the scroll. It was the character for 'Snake'.
"Now that you've secured it, why don't we make out while Karin's not here." Sasuke said lustfully, holding Naruto from behind and kissing his nape.
"You don't know how much I would want that Sasuke, but we really need to go to Karin now. She was injured a while ago and so I took her to a safe place. And also, your right leg should be treated immediately if you don't want it to hurt while you're walking." said Naruto.
"My leg is fine. The blond girl's lightning chakra has faded and I can move my leg freely now. How else could I have come to you to kiss you?" asked Sasuke.
"Let's just go." said Naruto.
And in that instant, the two teleported their way to their other teammate.
A/N: If you noticed, the jutsu names I used are the one used in the English Dubbed versions of the anime.
Although Naruto was not shown to have water chakra nature in the manga or anime, I decided to add it since this is a fan fiction. Basis is Namikaze, Nami (Wave) and Kaze (Wind). So Water and Wind chakra transformation.
Also, Enmaru's name means 炎 Flame and 丸 Perfection.
Ryuuzaki's name was taken from Death Note. It is one of L's aliases. It means 竜 Dragon and 崎 Cape.
Yuuren's name means 優 Excel and 練 Refine.
Mouth of the Serpent Jutsu is the Water Style Jutsu used by Fūka in the story arc with Kazuma and Sora. It's similar to the Water Dragon Jutsu but the water looks like a serpent.
