Zane
"Ahhhh!" Naruto yells and his fist contacts Zane's face causing him to arch backward.
Naruto hopped out of the ground and lands after upper cutting Zane who shifted back. Naruto smiles landing the hit. It soon disappears after hearing a laugh.
"Hahaha.." Zane laughs and arch forward, slowly standing up straight. "You think I can't take a punch.
Zane turns his head and spits out the blood in his mouth. He looks at Naruto with an evil grin, showing him that the punch has no affect.
"How did it not hurt him?" Itachi spoke surprised.
"H-how?" Naruto stutters a bit seeing how unaffected Zane is.
"Such a weak punch...let me show you a better one" Zane said with a smile and dashes right to Naruto who is slow to react.
Zane punches Naruto's gut so hard launching him from his fist, causing Naruto to slide across the ground.
"Menma!" Everyone said to him.
"You! Bastard!" Yuzu yells trying to break free from the chains.
"Now to business on hand" Zane said ignoring what Yuzu said. "It's time for your death"
Zane lifts his right arm which slowly gets consume by darkness energy. Everyone eyes widen with shock and fear. Zane starts running to them with his hands widen at them.
"NO!"
Everyone's expression change from the faint voice they hear coming from Naruto as well as the sound of lightning.
Right when Zane is mid way from reach everyone, on his left, Naruto's right fist is covered in red chakra heading straight for his hand and on his right, Sasuke's chidori is heading toward his hand.
"Tch" Zane said softly realizing the odds.
Before the two connects with his hand, he jumps back quick enough causing their fist, to clash each other instead.
The impact from both fist creates a loud bang and a shock wave of chakra flowing out of the blast. Naruto and Sasuke's eyes widen after noticing each other.
"Sasuke" Naruto thought.
"Naruto" Sasuke thought.
The force pushes them away from each other. They both slowly stand up straight staring at each other with disbelief. "How did you get here?" They both thought.
"Well isn't this awkward.." Shadow said breaking the silence. "And expected...I had a feeling the two would meet here soon"
"Who is he?" Kushina ask staring at Sasuke.
"Its Shun!" Itachi answers brightly.
"Shun?..isn't he handsome" Stella commented.
Stella hears a cough and turns to Yuzu who looks jealous. Stella giggles nervously seeing him act like that.
Sasuke ignores the comment from the others and turns to Itachi. He notices the chains that is constricting his brothers little body.
"Itachi, who did this to you?" Sasuke ask him.
Before Itachi answers, Zane did instead.
"I did" Zane answers causing Sasuke to turn slightly.
"You did" Sasuke looks at him with one eye in anger.
Minato, Yuzu and Shadow can feel something coming off Sasuke. They may not be able to see his expression but can tell he is angry and bloodthirsty. It's not only them who sense it but Naruto too.
Naruto's eyes never left Sasuke. "So that boy, is Itachi which is Sasuke's brother...did Shadow bring him here?" He thought and turn his head to Shadow.
"That look, I love that look of anger" Zane said with a grin. "If you're going to come after me...am all…"
Right before Zane finishes his sentence, Sasuke appears right in front of him, with his chidori brightly shining. Sasuke's is a few inches away Zane's gut.
Zane eyes look at his left hand that is giving off the light. He smirks.
Sasuke notices his glare and the sound of the chains. He jumps away from Zane but did not escape the chains coming from the foxes that are still around the area. Sasuke swing his arm at the chains causing a streak of lightning going horizontally, pushing the chains away. He lands on the ground and looks at Zane.
"Whats the matter, you scared of a view chains" Zane tells Sasuke and snaps his fingers.
Soon each of the foxes starts growling all around everyone. Naruto steps back a bit staring at each of the foxes red piercing eyes. "Not good" he thought to himself.
Sasuke pulls out his sword from its sheath causing Zane to grin. The foxes start charging to Sasuke and Naruto.
They both reach them, Naruto pulls out a Kunai and covers it in his chakra. Sasuke covers his sword in electricity. They both strike down a fox, splitting it in two which after it disappear. They continue to defend themselves from the foxes.
"Grr..dammit" Yuzu said feeling useless.
"We need to do something other than stand here" Minato tells everyone.
"It seems like the foxes aren't after us but Shun and Menma" Stella states noticing the foxes continue attacking them.
While they are talking, Shadow continues to stare at Zane. Using his eyes to examine him from head to toe. He can tell that he is not from here and, that he's waiting for something. His eyes shift to Naruto and Sasuke who are fighting separately.
Through Shadows eyes, he sees dark blobs that burn from the fire and the lightning. "These foxes...are different, they're easier to take out" Shadow thought to himself. He feels something off about the scene in front of him. Zane is just watching Naruto and Sasuke, but why isn't he attacking. That thought is soon answer but not from him.
"He's reading their moves" Itachi said with his eyes focus on the fight in front of him.
"Of course!" Shadow said understanding it.
"If that's true...it's a matter of time before Zane attacks" Yuzu exclaims.
"We need to warn them" Minato suggested.
"Menma! Shun!" Kushina shouts to them.
She got both of their attention causing them to turn their heads to her. However, before Kushina can tell them what Zane has planned, he appears in the middle of the two who are on opposite sides.
Sasuke reacts and four ninja stars appear in his hand. He flings them at Zane who watches the stars head right for him. Zane grins and brings his right hand out which slowly gets consume in dark energy that start to materialize into a sharp curved blade.
With one swing, Zane splits the ninja stars like splitting a sheet of paper. He starts charging for Sasuke who doesn't look scared.
"Chidori..Blade" Sasuke said and put his left arm forward.
A blade of lightning comes out of it, going directly to Zane who just smiles evilly.
Everyone gasps seeing the blade of lightning stop by Zane's blade arm. Sasuke is most surprised. He clenches his teeth, applying more pressure to his blade.
"How did he stop his attack with one arm" Naruto thought in shock but notices an opening. Zane's back is wide open. Naruto takes his chance and starts running to Zane. "I need to stop him and free them" he thought and clenches his Kunai tightly.
"Arugh!" Naruto said, slicing vertically on Zane's back.
However, what Naruto imagined happening, didn't. Zane starts turning into dark energy like the foxes and disappear which allowed the Chidori blade to keep stretching. Naruto eyes widen seeing the bright light, speeding in his direction. He didn't have enough time to dodge it and does the only thing he can think of. He crosses his arms, making an X.
"Ahhhuuughh!" Naruto said screaming in pain.
Once Sasuke realizes what he is doing, he pulls his attack back. He looks at Naruto's burned arms from his chidori and a steam coming off them as well. He knew the wound he made is healing because of the nine tails. He turns his attention to where Zane is.
Naruto brings his arms down, feeling the pain melt away slowly. He can't believe he just got a cold stare by Sasuke. "He hasn't changed" he thought and sighs.
"His Menma ok?" Kushina ask in a worried tone.
"Ya he is" Shadow answers staring at Naruto.
"I'm surprised with his strength, being able to take that attack on" Yuzu said in a surprised tone.
"How is his wound healing?" Stella ask noticing Naruto's arm. "Does Menma know Medical Ninjutsu?"
"Hard to explain" Shadow answers her.
"It seems like you know alot about Menma, you two must be close" Mintao tells Shadow.
"Hmm, in ways we are close…" Shadow replies but his attention turns to the loud bang that caught everyone else's attention.
Naruto jumped right when something exploded in front of him. A pillar of smoke is in front of him. Naruto senses something within the smoke but is too late. He reacts slow to the side kick from Zane who is grinning evilly.
Naruto smashes into a boulder but it does not stop there. Zane appears right in front of him. He starts making hand signs but Zane stops him by holding his hands together.
"I'm not going to let you use your hands" Zane said with a smirk.
Then Zane starts twisting Naruto's clamped hands, adding additional force by having his hands consume in chakra.
"AHHH!" Naruto screams in pain and is pinned against the boulder more.
Zane raises Naruto up more, crushing his hands.
"MENMA!" Kushina and Stella yells, not liking hearing his scream.
"Dammit!, he's going to far!" Yuzu said angrily.
While everyone is worried about Menma, Itachi on the other hand turn his attention to Sasuke who watches Naruto with a blank look, just standing there and watching.
"Shun" Itachi calls out to him. "Why don't you help him?"
Soon everyone's attention turns to Sasuke except the ones who are fighting at the moment. Sasuke turns his back to them all. With that, they all knew his answer.
"Hey!, don't you turn your back on us...at the moment you have the power to stop that guy...it's your responsibility with the power you have and help Menma!" Yuzu tells Sasuke.
"...You have no right to tell me what to do" Sasuke said in a cold tone, turning his head to them. "None of you do, I do whatever I want"
"ARGHHH!" Naruto screams more from the pain bringing everyone's attention back to him
Zane soon knees Naruto in the gut and brings him close to his chest.
"Naruto.." Zane whispers his name in his ear. "Just so you know, I didn't have to do this...fight you and Sasuke...my job is to kill the people who brought you two in this world along with someone else….what I'm doing to you is a choice...but not part of my job, I had fun playing with you...but next is Sasuke and the final show…...well...you will see"
Zane smirks evilly. Naruto couldn't help but shake under Zane's presence. He can feel his heart beat faster. He can hardly feel his hands. He doesn't believe that someone like Zane even exist. There aren't many people that makes him shake but being so close to Zane, who is near his age, he feels beneath him like how he feels around Sasuke.
He soon feels Zane grip his black jumpsuit and threw him against the mountain.
"Gaaahh" Naruto said smashing his back against the rocky wall.
He falls face first into the ground. Naruto turns his head to Zane who is smiling evilly at him, liking how he looks. Naruto can hardly feel his arms even with the ninetails healing powers, it isn't fast enough.
Everyone in chains can't help but feel useless and hurt watching Naruto on the ground. They all tried breaking free from the chains but it keeps digging into them. They see Zane's head turn to Sasuke who starts walking to him.
Zane starts walking to Sasuke who grips his sword tightly. He glares at Zane and dashes to him. He got in range and swings his sword horizontally to Zane who bend backwards, dodging the attack. Sasuke is soon met with two feet heading up from in front of him. He walks backward, only having the feet skid his chin.
"You like" Zane said making a handstand.
"Stop playing around" Sasuke said swinging down his sword at Zane who launches from his hands, dodging the attack.
Zane lands on his feet and has his hair covering his eyes.
"Ok" Zane responds and grins.
He disappears right in front of Sasuke which surprised him. Sasuke starts looking around, searching where he is. Suddenly he feels the ground shake under him. He looks down and his met with black spikes popping up from the ground around him, breaking the ground under him.
Sasuke jumps from pieces of the ground he was on. His eyes widen seeing the spikes, shooting from the ground to him. He swings his sword, cutting the spikes into pieces in mid air.
"End Game..Sasuke" Zane whispers in his ear, appearing behind him.
Zane pierces Sasuke from behind with his hand.
"SHUN!"
"Sasuke!" Naruto thought weakly, looking at the scene.
"Grrrahh!" Sasuke said coughing out blood.
He looks down but doesn't see any blood, staining his clothing. He just feels something moving inside him.
"AHHHH!" Sasuke screams in so much pain, dropping his sword.
Zane smirks and pulls his hand out and grabs both of Sasuke's arms from behind. He lays one foot on his back and pushes Sasuke, causing him to face the ground. Zane pushes his foot against his back more, until Sasuke smashes into the ground while Zane pulls his arms.
"AAARRGHH!" Sasuke screams feeling like he is being ripped apart.
That's when Zane dislocates Sasuke's arm. Zane smiles and drops his arms. He gets off his back. He looks down at Sasuke who is looking back at him with an angry expression.
"You BASTARD!" Yuzu shouts at Zane, stepping forward but is met with shock from the chains. "Arrrghh"
"Yuzu!" Stella said in a worried tone.
"Tch...Zane!, stop this...if you want a fight...get me out of these chains and I'll show you!" Shadow said in an angry tone.
"Ha, I would like that but job first" Zane said and began walking.
"Job!?, why would you do this kind of Job!..uh!, there are other jobs better than being an assassin, ya know!" Kushina exclaims.
"You dont say" Zane said sarcastically, crossing his arms. "But I love this job, it's fun and the pay is great!"
"Zane, what made you do this?" Minato ask him.
"Why?" Zane said softly.
Before Zane answers, he snaps his fingers. Soon chains came from the ground and wraps around Naruto and Sasuke. They get drag on the ground until they stop behind Zane.
"Because….it was Destiny" Zane answers them.
"Destiny?" Itachi said confused.
"Well I have time to spare soo, I'll tell you all a little story...some of you may know this story or it might be new to some" Zane tells them.
When Zane opened his mouth, two people eyes widen from shock.
"This story is about...a prophecy"
