(Chunin exam arena)
Naruto stood facing Neji his bow drawn, he was ready for Neji to lunge at him which he did. He tried to block Naruto's tenketsu but Naruto moved further back, he then fired an arrow at Neji without applying chakra to it. This was a test to see if Neji could see the agile projectile with his doujutsu, he backhanded the arrow to the side and came at Naruto again. Naruto dodged another series of strikes and then aimed once again at Neji, he fired but this time it was much faster, it was once again hit out of the way but Neji looked in pain. He saw that there was a cut from the arrow passed his hand, it was small but it's very existence annoyed Neji greatly it proved that he had been injured by this weakling. Again, Neji shot forward only to be met with Naruto meeting him halfway, he aimed a low punch for his stomach which was dodged. Neji replied by striking at Naruto's chest with a glowing hand, Naruto dodged once again and swiped at him with his bow. Naruto missed and was hit straight in the chest.
He smirked and whispered, "well, wasn't that a nice distraction, ne?"
Neji's eyes widened as Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke leaving Neji unbalanced, this showed another Naruto with his bow aimed at him he heard Naruto call the name of his jutsu, "don-teki gaishō (blunt trauma)."
Naruto then fired his arrow. The arrow was normal but at the tip it seemed to do the opposite of what arrows were meant to do, it had a smooth surface about an inch in diameter, Neji saw the chakra build up on the tip of the arrow, it fired at him just slower than the first arrow he fired at him. Neji couldn't dodge the attack, he decided it was time to unveil his technique. He was just about to rotate, when he felt something wrap around his leg, he looked down at his foot and saw the arrow Naruto had fired earlier it transformed into a Naruto who grabbed his legs.
If he hadn't been too arrogant to assume that Naruto had no plan, he had planned everything up to this point but how did he know of the rotation. He couldn't dodge and he didn't want to try to hit something with that much built up chakra, the arrow was right in front of him now. He could do nothing now. The arrow hit him and he felt agony, the name pretty much summed it up. He flew backwards and hit the wall behind him leaving a cracked wall and an unconscious Hyuuga, while he was still conscious he had noticed how the chakra moved just before it hit him. The chakra built up in the tip flew outwards in a circular motion, it then seemed to create a wall of wind which, due to the original speed from the arrow, hit him with a very fast moving concussive force.
The arrow itself still carried on and hit him in the stomach. It stuck in the middle of his stomach and stayed there for a minute before falling off, Neji's unconscious form crumpled to the floor leaving a stunned audience. The match was over relatively quickly and Naruto had only shown two jutsu, he had clearly planned out his strategy and from his match he was basically guaranteed chunin for beating a prodigy so quickly and efficiency.
The crowd then slowly started to clap which eventually led to cheering, Naruto could see the glares many of the audience were giving him but he failed to care. He had grown up with worse, it was quite sad when he realised that most of the people cheering him were from other villages who had no idea who and what he was. He saw his team and his Nee-chan's cheering him, the rest of the Konoha eleven who didn't make it to the final cheered him and quite a large amount of ninja of Konoha were cheering too but they looked more neutral to him. He looked to the Kage box and saw the Hokage smiling down at him, he saw his 'godfather' looking proud too.
He didn't particularly like the man and that hadn't changed over the month since he had met him, the man was an idiot he decided. The fact that he was a strong idiot didn't change things, he didn't hate him he just disliked him for abandoning him to hell. He hadn't talked with him over the month after meeting him due to his training. He was happy about his training over the month, not only had he mastered wind chakra to a point, but his Sensei had taught him a few helpful hints, he had given away very little of his arsenal in that match. He needed to make sure he kept surprises for Garra, he was the one he really had to defeat in the end. Neji was just the warm up.
The next match was supposed to be Sauske versus Garra as apparently the sound nin had disappeared, this fight had been pushed back to give Sauske time to get here. Kankuro then forfeited his match causing the crowd to get restless. When Shikamaru looked ready to do the same Naruto pushed him off the balcony and he started his match against Temari. The match was very interesting as both strategic minds fought to overcome the situation, the jutsu Temari used interested Naruto greatly and gave him some ideas for new jutsu using his arrows, he was wandering if he could use a series of arrows and wind chakra to make a tornado like she used her fan to do. In the end Shikamaru surrendered after proving to be the better strategist, Temari was put into the next round against Shino.
Now they were waiting for Sauske to show up to fight a rather impatient Garra, the sand siblings looked uneasy like the other citizens of sand who showed up. Naruto was very annoyed at both Kakashi and Sauske for their lateness, he wanted to get his fight with Garra over with. Just as the examiner was about to say they were too late they showed up in the middle of the stadium. Soon the match began, Sauske started by throwing kunai. Naruto nearly face palmed, either he forgot about the sand or he just wanted to make sure that he was the exception to the rule.
He then continued by punching the sand clone, just as he was about to lose his arm he smirked and disappeared in a burst of speed. Naruto was surprised by this, he clearly copied Lee's moves but Naruto knew that wouldn't be enough. Garra had spent a month specifically preparing for him, his arrows were much faster than anything Sauske could pull off, if Garra wasn't so prepared for their fight he would have probably been caught off guard like he had against Lee but he had been training for faster.
Sauske, who thought Garra wouldn't have improved, found himself caught in a cage of sand, he was surprised when he tried to punch it he nearly broke his hand. "Surrender." Came Garras voice, but not from the Garra in front of him, he turned and saw another Garra as the one he had previously been looking at melted to sand.
Naruto smirked as he realised: one Garra acted similarly to the way his fight went and two he had given Sauske the chance to surrender, it seemed he took his promise seriously to not hurt others while here. "How?" Sauske spat, he was so surprised someone beat him so easily.
"I was over there, you were attacking my clone, I knew you copied the green one so I knew where you would go and I imprisoned you there. You were too predictable. Now surrender or die." Garra said causing the sand to tighten.
"I surrender." Sauske muttered, Garra then freed him of his sand and left the arena.
The next match between Shino and Temari was over quickly, Shino gave up when Temari blasted most of his bugs away, he lost too many bugs and gave up on the third blast. Naruto now had to fight against Garra, those who knew what these two contained were nervous, if either of them got out of control the other would likely follow suit. Everyone was worried about this even those involved in the invasion knew that two rampaging bijuu was a bad idea.
They were worried enough setting Garra lose as they had no control over him, no one knew what would happen if Naruto rampaged, it could be a repeat of what happened all those years ago. Naruto and Garra were staring each other down, they had both entered the mindscape and were having a chat before their fight, they stood facing each other in the real world but a more interesting sight was occurring in the mindscape.
"Hey Garra, no hard feelings for when you lose right?" Naruto asked with a smirk.
"You still think you will win? I will win and I will prove that we are stronger without them."
"Ok, ok, in any case good luck."
"You too, you'll definitely need it."
"Is there any way we could watch this fight?" They turned and saw the other Jinchuuriki had joined the mindscape.
"It is quite important for us." Fu finished.
"Why would it be important to you?" Naruto asked.
"Garra isn't the only one who thinks you should give up on the humans," Fu said, "this fight may get you to give up on them and we want to see you when you realise they will make you weak."
"Since when were you so vocal on our views on humanity." Naruto asked, sure he knew that most of his brothers and sisters didn't like the humans but he didn't know they hated them.
"Nearly all of us here hate the humans, only you B and Yugito don't hate them like the rest of us." Hana said, he was surprised by this.
"But, Yagura-neechan, you're the Mizukage, you rule over them." Naruto exclaimed.
"That just means I am in charge of them, there are a few that have some of my respect but that is only as ninja, I don't like them for the most part but as their ruler I do what is best for them." Yagura replied sadly, it was true some of her subordinates had earned her respect but she didn't count Mei as a human. She had suffered for her bloodlines and because of that Yagura considered her an honorary Jinchuuriki. She was the only one who had been friends with her during her childhood and as such led a similar life, she lost her parents when the civilians 'purged' them. She then helped Yagura and earned here the hatred of many citizens, all in all she considered her close to being a Jinchuuriki due to this she was a trusted friend. The others knew this and accepted her friendship due to Yagura hating most of humanity like them, they could agree that there might by exceptions but they would not trust any of them unless they proved themselves.
"B, Yugito you're the only ones with me on this?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, we don't hate humans mostly because the current Raikage is B's adopted brother, because of that we didn't face the stigma the rest of you suffered. At least I didn't, B protected me when I was much younger, before he was adopted into Ay's family. Even then, Ay practically adopted me too." Yugito said.
"So, the rest of you are hoping that I lose?" Naruto asked sadly.
"Sorry, but you need to see that we are stronger without them, we're sorry." Roshi said.
"Well, three against six seems a bit unfair." Naruto said annoyed, this caused the jinchuuriki to shuffle about and look embarrassed. "What?" Naruto asked confused.
"Well, it's more fifteen to three, Naruto-kun." Came the voice of Shukaku.
"What?!" Naruto cried out in shock, he was against the bijuu.
"I'm sorry Naruto-kun, but we agree with them, the humans shouldn't be trusted, we barely trust Yagura-chan with her friend, the only reason we consent with their relationship is because she knows some of what it is to be a Jinchuuriki." Isobu said.
"But why am I different, I'm friends with them and my sister's help take care of me." Naruto said.
"They don't care about you; they are only caring for you because they cared for your parents." Roshi said sadly.
"That's not true! They care about me, I'm like a brother to them, they helped where they could." Naruto yelled. In the background, he could have sworn he heard that voice again, 'lies' it whispered.
"Now is not the time for this, Roshi. Naruto, please just be careful, I don't trust the humans either, they are liars and have no respect for anyone." Kurama said.
"Not you too, kaa-chan, but what about Tou-san, you said you respected him when he was here, so you had to have trusted him."
"I did, look what happened, they attacked me, and he sealed me into you knowing full well what would happen." His Kaa-chan said.
"But that doesn't mean they're all bad. Just because some are bad doesn't mean all of them are." Naruto said.
"Now is not the time." Garra interrupted. "We have a fight to be getting on with, if you want to watch the fight find some way of doing so."
"How can we do that?" Utakata asked.
"If you'll allow us access to your senses we will be able to watch the fight from both of your perspectives." Saiken answered, "this will only let us see and hear what the both of you hear and see, adding more senses will be more irritating than anything, do you agree to this."
Both Garra and Naruto agreed. Suddenly two screens appeared and they could hear the noises from the outside world, Naruto and Garra re-entered the outside world. The blinked out of the mindscape and stared at each other, the crowd were murmuring, it seemed that they had been staring at each other for a while, suddenly Naruto blurred out of existence, he shunshined to the other side of the arena and pulled his bow out, he notched an arrow and fired it at Garra, who's sand caught it before letting it drop to the ground. Naruto shunshined to the wall and ran around on it firing volleys of arrows at him every few seconds. The arrows themselves were speeding up which caused Naruto to smirk and Garra to frown. Naruto then created ten kage bunshins which all did as he did and fired arrows at Garra who was starting to have trouble now, his sand was keeping up but some of the arrows were making it past his shield.
Eventually one of the arrows managed to penetrate his shield and hit Garra in the arm, this resulted in that Garra melting into sand. Suddenly the entire arena erupted into sand, and all of it flew at the clones of Naruto crushing them and dispelling them. The real Garra suddenly appeared in the centre of the arena, he looked around for his brother, he couldn't have died in that attack. He couldn't find him anywhere using his sand, he used it to feel out the entire arena, no one could be found.
"Where are you Naruto?" Garra yelled out.
He was suddenly surprised when a foot impacted with his face as Naruto appeared. He kicked Garra in the chest before the sand reacted and he then made a clone which threw him at the wall. The sand missed him and he stuck himself to the wall of the arena again. The sand came at him again like a wave and hit the wall, he was already gone. Naruto managed to jump to the other side of the arena and he then created fifty clones who spread out and fired their cloned arrows at him which all were blocked once again by his sand. This time though Naruto made sure to dodge the large amount of sand and none of the Naruto's were dispelled, this continued until all the Narutos fired at once, fifty arrows all aimed at Garra and one managed to break through his guard and hit him in the shoulder.
Garra's sand armour started to crack at that and he grunted, he looked down at his arm and saw a small amount of blood come from the wound. The arrow didn't sink too far into his skin and ultimately only gave him a small wound, but to Garra it surprised him. He then smirked, "Come on Naruto is that it? All this time and only a small cut?"
"Well Garra how about we step this up then Garra?" All the Naruto's said before each of them pulled out arrows identical to the one he used on Neji, Garra's eyes widened at this, he saw what happened when the arrow hit Neji and didn't know if his sand could handle the blunt force of the jutsu. "Don-teki gaishō (blunt trauma)" Came the cry of all of the Naruto's, Garra watched as they all fired their arrows at once and Garra realised they formed a perfect circle around him. He quickly forced his sand to form a sphere around him and then made it as dense as possible, he felt the impact of all fifty arrows hit the sphere and from the inside of the sphere it felt like his insides turn to jelly.
Garra threw up and realised that the sphere had holes in it where all the arrows must have impacted, they all left indentations where they originally struck and spread out after that. In the end, his shield resembled a sponge, the sand got to work rebuilding the shield and filled all the holes. Garra quickly made a third eye outside the shield to see what was going on, he decided it was time to show Naruto how powerful learning from the other Jinchuuriki he was.
Naruto was unprepared for what happened, he assumed that Garra would have been learning to speed up his sand to catch his arrows or find ways to catch him. What he didn't expect was for him to use a jutsu very similar to his sister, Yagura's, coral. The sand became sharper until it resembled the coral and, as his clones found out, if he were to stand on it he would be stuck there resulting in him being an easy target. Naruto quickly looked into Garra's eyes and re-entered the mind scape with him to see his grinning face and his siblings looking even more confident that he would win.
"You taught him how to do that?" Naruto yelled, he assumed they supported Garra not actually trained him.
"Yes, we all wanted to prove that we were all more powerful than the humans, teaching him how to do jutsu similar to ours with his sand was just one way of doing that." Yagura said.
"All of you?" He asked incredulously.
"Yes," Fu answered, "it was hard to translate most of our techniques to his sand but he has a basic understanding of how to use his sand like we can naturally use our bijuu powers."
"Wait, can he grow wings like you then?" Naruto asked amazed.
"You'll have to find out Naruto-kun." Fu answered mischievously as she grinned.
"Are you OK, with this?" Naruto asked the bijuu.
"Yes, whose idea do you think it was?" Chomei answered somehow sharing the Jinchuurikis grin. With that they returned to the real world, and Naruto and his clones spent an awful lot of time avoiding the sand again, he could barely fire his arrows at this point and when he did it was again blocked by a circle of sand that looked normal, that gave Naruto an idea, his defensive sand was now much less than his offensive and turning the sand into its coral consistency seemed to take time breaking back down into regular sand.
That meant he wouldn't be able to defend as well, Naruto suddenly grinned and jumped up as high as he could, he was now a couple hundred foot in the air he made a seal and a poof of smoke blocked out the sky from the watchers, the sky was full of clones. Garra gasped as they all aimed their bows and fired down on him. He made a large circle of sand to block all of the arrows and they all hit, suddenly he was hit by three arrows from the side, he turned and saw three clones with their bows held out. Naruto had distracted him and his sand was dealing with the bigger threat so it couldn't help. The arrows were mostly blocked by his armour but like the first arrow to hit him it broke it slightly and he bled slightly. A huge group of Naruto's fell to the ground and landed on his sand creating a poof leaving only one who jumped to the safety of a wall by kicking off a clone.
He was sweating slightly, as was Garra. Suddenly Garra smirked and did the hand seals for a jutsu Naruto didn't recognise, he then breathed a huge wave of fire which surprised Naruto, what surprised him even more was it was aimed at his sand, why would he do that, all he would do was make… glass! Could he control it like his sand if so what would he do with it, the jutsu wasn't big but it caused some of the sand to become glass which then began breaking up into clumps. What would he do with that?
He then started to make it fly about causing it to catch off the light and refract it around the arena until beams of light were aimed at Naruto blinding him slightly. He realised this was his plan, distract him with the light and then attack him. Fu must have taught him to do that, maybe he couldn't grow wings but he Fu could use glass like Fu's scale powder. He then heard a whooshing noise and moved out of the way of the beams of light quickly, memories were coming from his remaining clones, who were also blinded, showing they were dispelled.
He didn't know what had happened but he managed to get his vision back in time to see Garra flying at him, wait flying? Sure, enough Garra had what appeared to be sand wrapped around his chest before branching into two making a pair of angel like wings coming from his back.
"Now that is just ridiculous." Naruto said, "why don't you just stand on a pile and have it float, you just look ridiculous like that." Naruto was close to laughing and Garra looked annoyed.
He then flew quickly at Naruto and called out, "Suna shuriken," creating shuriken out of his sand and firing them at Naruto much faster than they had any right being. He dodged them quickly and managed to make it to the other side of the wall. Garra just hovered in the middle of the arena his wings flapping every few seconds.
"So, shall we step it up even more?" Naruto asked causing Garra to grin like a maniac and nod in response. Naruto then pulled out a strange looking arrow and notched it, its tip looked like a cone but it spiralled into its point and looked like it wrapped around itself as it reached the shaft. At the base where it would meet the bow string it was segmented and it looked like one part could stay still while the other span. "Uzumaku kaze no pointo (point of spiralling winds)" his notched arrow started to move like a drill and he smirked before letting go of the arrow sending it at Garra at tremendous speeds.
Garra dodged to the right but it hit his wing and… got stuck? It appeared the drill part span in the opposite direction to the way it would enter. He looked to Naruto who smirked before forming the snake seal. Garra heard a sizzling and saw that there were several explosive tags wrapped around the shaft, he gasped and the explosive went of destroying his wing and sending him flying to the ground. His arm was burnt but the bijuu chakra in his system would heal it, he could already feel it begin healing but Shukaku took the longest of all the bijuu to heal damage which was why he had his sand defence.
His arm would be out for the time being so he would have to rely on his left arm for now, he decided it was time for him to pull out another trick taught to him by Yagura. The reason she was so powerful was because she was able to use her bijuu's chakra to a much higher level than the others only rivalled by B and Yugito. The thing all of them had in common was their ability to use a partial transformation without entering the bijuu cloak. Garra, before the month was able to do a variation of this as he could transform fully into Shukaku but couldn't use it to his full potential.
He could release Shukaku but that left him vulnerable on top of the bijuu's head. His partial transformation only used to work when he was stopped entering a full transformation and it lead to him slowly going full bijuu. However, Yagura had taught him, over the month, how to use the partial transformation correctly like she and B could do. Yugito still hadn't learned to do it properly but she wasn't working on it as she had already mastered the full transformation and could do it faster than any of the other Jinchuuriki so she didn't feel like she needed it as much.
Naruto was once again on the wall when suddenly an arm flew at him, he recognised that particular arm as being that of Shukaku's. Upon that realisation the invasion began and all hell broke loose. There was smoke in the Kage booth and many of the jonin from Konoha destroyed the sand and sound nin who thought they had the element of surprise. Fights began and Garra, once he realised the invasion had started left the arena to the forest outside the village he was quickly followed by Naruto.
Kabuto upon realising his genjutsu was stopped before it fully worked turned and saw Kurenai, Anko and a cat masked ANBU staring him down, he realised he was caught and was about to fight them, before anything could happen an arrow hit him in the chest knocking him back hitting the wall. He saw that a Naruto clone had appeared and was pointing his bow at him, because he didn't see the attack coming his technique didn't work and he could only start healing now.
"Well then you are going to be broken." Anko said gleefully licking a kunai. Kakashi had gathered many of the genin from the rookie nine who he could find, he saw Naruto follow Garra and believed he couldn't handle him.
"Ok, Shikamaru, Sakura, Sauske and Shino, I want you four to go give Naruto back up, try to help him fight Garra, he won't be able to take him alone." Kakashi said.
"Sensei, are you sure that is a good idea? Naruto and Garra are on a different level and we won't be able to find them." Shikamaru asked, Kakashi then summoned a small pug and asked him to track Naruto.
"Follow Pakun, he will lead you to Naruto, help in any way you can." The genin followed the dog and managed to end up in the forest outside Konoha.
"Kakashi, where did you send them?" Asuma asked, he had seen them all run off.
"To help Naruto." Kakashi answered causing Asuma to go pale.
"You sent them to fight Garra, what is the matter with you? They'll be killed!" Asuma shouted.
"Naruto went off to fight him, they will help him."
"You idiot, Naruto was supposed to fight Garra, he's been ordered to. Apparently, they came to some sort of agreement where they would fight one on one. In exchange for this Garra promised to leave the village and take their fight elsewhere so there was less collateral. He might think we've broken our deal and attack the village."
"Wait. We knew about the invasion?" Kakashi was shocked.
"Yes, you would too if you returned to the village at any point. Hokage-sama informed us all to avoid Naruto's fight as it would be a fight between demons." Kakashi paled as he realised he may have sent those kids to their deaths, and possibly doomed Konoha.
(Meanwhile with them)
"There is a team following us." Shino informed.
"I'll stay behind." Shikamaru informed them splitting off from the group. They soon came across Kankuro and Temari who appeared to be tailing the two as well, Shino started fighting Kankuro while Temari took off to catch up with Garra.
Eventually she managed to see them as they stared at each other from a tree branch, they both turned to face her and she became terrified. Soon Sakura and Sauske caught up and landed beside her looking at the two Jinchuuriki.
"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked the three of them, the Hokage told him that their fight wouldn't be interrupted.
"We came as backup; Naruto you can't possibly face him alone." Sakura said.
"You can't be here, you won't survive if we go all out, leave all of you." Naruto said before turning back to Garra.
"Y-y-you're going all out." Temari stuttered out.
"Yes, now leave." Garra replied, she then turned to the Uchiha and Haruno.
"You should listen to his advice and leave, if Garra goes all out then everything here will be destroyed, if that kid could possibly match that then we should run as far away as possible." Temari told the duo before running to a safe distance to watch the fight.
"Now leave, I don't want either of you hurt." Naruto said.
"Dobe, how could you possibly take him on?" Sauske asked.
"Trade secret. Now leave." Naruto answered.
"Enough of this," Garra interrupted, "if they interrupt they die now let's begin." Garra then grinned and both of his arm became that of Shukaku.
"Did she teach you how to do a partial transformation." Naruto asked.
"Yes, her coral wasn't all she taught, the others know how to it to some affect now too." Garra replied with a smirk.
"So, I'm the only one who hasn't learned?"
"Yes, though Utakata can't do it well. You will learn if you join us though."
"Well that's hurtful that you wouldn't just teach me because of kaa-chan." They quickly entered the mindscape and came face to face with the others, they all looked a bit uncomfortable except B and Yugito.
"You really wouldn't teach me the transformation if I don't agree with your beliefs?" Naruto asked.
"Sorry, we just well…" Yagura trailed off.
"Don't worry after your fight we'll teach you the proper way Naruto-kun." Yugito said.
"What do you mean the proper way?" Yagura asked slightly offended.
"The way you do it basically is just an extended variation on the cloak. The way we do it allows us to actually become a bijuu for a while, or at least our consciousness is, we can then let Gyuki or Matatabi take control. Garras original version of this is close but he is left vulnerable." This shocked the other Jinchuuriki, they thought they could use the bijuu chakra to its fullest extent but Yagura did realise that when she used it, it was just a more controlled version of the cloak. She thought that is what B and Yugito did too.
"How?" She asked.
"It's complicated, we have a temple on an island where we go… it's very complicated. You two go back to your fight while we explain it."
The two of them left and went back to their fight, Garra used the reach Shukaku's arms gave him to try to grab Naruto, when he dodged he fired some Suna shuriken at him which he dodged again. Naruto fired an arrow but it did nothing to Garra. Garra then started to change his entire body to make a smaller tailless Shukaku. He then started to fire off more Shuriken. There were now hundreds of the shuriken flying at Naruto who just dodged them quickly. Garra then smirked which looked scary on the smaller Shukaku, he then grew a tail and sand erupted from the ground, it started to swirl around him and Naruto realised what Garra was doing and backed away.
There was a puff of smoke and suddenly Shukaku was standing there, Garra was on its forehead smirking down at Naruto. He was still in control of the sand body of Shukaku.
"Dammit Garra don't make me do that jutsu, I don't want to kill you, if I use it you will either die or be injured badly." Naruto screamed.
"I'd like to see you try from there Naruto." Garra replied before using Shukaku's massive body to fire off huge air bullets, Naruto barely managed to make it out of the way.
"Fine then Garra, if you want that, you will get it." Naruto muttered before pulling out his bow, he looked in his quiver to see he had four arrows left, one of them had a blunt edge and another had the spiralled edge, the final two had his original arrows with a small tip but it was impossibly sharp. He first notched his blunt arrow and building up the chakra necessary, it took a few seconds to do but he finally fired it off at Garra, who saw it coming and managed to raise one of Shukaku's arms. With a yell of, "Don-teki gaishō (blunt trauma)," the arrow hit about halfway up his forearm, the arm exploded into sand on impact letting that rain down. Naruto then notched the spiralled arrow he then put the required wind chakra into it causing it to twist the opposite to the last time he used this technique, this would allow it to drill through his target.
He yelled, "Uzumaku kaze no pointo (point of spiralling winds)," he then fired the arrow, this time Garra brought his other arm up to guard against this one. The arrow unlike last time burrowed into the arm and the tip came out the other side, much slower, it stabbed into Garra's thigh and he screamed in pain. He quickly removed the tip and gasped, he threw it down to the ground below him, blood was dripping down his leg onto Shukaku's head. "Garra," Naruto shouted, "give up now, I've won, I don't want to hurt you anymore and you're getting tired, now aren't you?" It was true Garra had been using chakra intensive techniques constantly for the entire fight he was nearly out, he was at the point where he couldn't repair Shukaku's arms if they were damaged even more.
"I won't lose Naruto; I will prove it to you." He yelled back.
"Then I'm sorry." Naruto said before putting his hand in the snake seal causing Shukaku's arm to explode, the arrow he had used would detach the tip if it burrowed through something. It was something he made to deal with Shukaku's sand, the shaft, which was embedded in the sand destroyed the arm completely causing it to collapse. Garra was now unarmed. Naruto notched one of the last arrows he had and aimed at Garra, "last chance, this will hurt a lot when it hits, just give up now." Naruto said.
"No, I will win, I can't be beaten by you now." Garra said.
"Then I'm sorry, brother." Naruto whispered the last part. He then used his first technique and whispered its name, "Musei hikō (silent flight)" he then fired the arrow and it seemed to disappear. To everyone watching it was as if the arrow just vanished, suddenly Garra screamed in pain as he realised there was a hole in his shoulder. It hurt so much that Shukaku started to crumble and he began to fall, before he landed Naruto caught him. He gently brought him down to the ground and set him lying down, he then lowered himself down and laid down beside him.
He too was quite tired, the constant use of high level had Naruto tired too. They both sat there before as one they entered the mind scape. The other Jinchuuriki stared in shock as the victor was clear, Naruto had defeated Garra.
"H-h-how?" Fu asked, she was so sure that Naruto would lose to Garra, he had never learned any of the skills the other Jinchuuriki had, everything he learned came from the humans. They had all taught Garra how to use some of their techniques with his sand and he still lost, how?
"I learned from the humans, I then took everything they taught me as far as I could take it, the technique I just used was what inspired me to use my bow. It originally was a training technique with a rapier to train my wind chakra, it was human made, there are many strong humans, if there weren't we wouldn't be here. They may not be able to reach our level but we can't afford to be arrogant with our power as their power is nothing to laugh at." B and Yugito just grinned. The other Jinchuuriki looked confused and shocked, they were becoming arrogant and that made them slightly annoyed. The bijuu were silent but looked slightly surprised at his wisdom.
"B-b-but we can't trust them, they hate us." Fu said sadly.
"Don't trust them all, but understand that there are ones that will help us, most of them are just afraid, you don't need to forgive them or forget what they've done just give the nice ones a chance. Mei is an example of this, so are my sisters and my team. Just give them a chance." Naruto said. "And Garra, give your brother and sister a chance, they do care for you, if they didn't then they wouldn't have come after you to help. Try to be nice to them, now I've got a job to do." Naruto then left the mindscape with all the current residents having something to think about.
(With Artemis)
Currently Artemis was going through a crisis, it seemed that she was starting to despise men again, seeing what they did was making her hate them more and more. She had just rescued a young girl from an abusive father, when she had arrived the girl's mother was dead on the floor and the father was about to do the same to his daughter before she stopped him.
'But Minato wasn't like that and neither will Naruto.' Kushina said.
Recently Kushina was becoming less her and more another person, she didn't hate men by default but rather thought of them in the same way she did women, there were some good and some bad in both. Artemis however was different, she hated them all, Minato was a great man but he sacrificed her son.
'And what about him, is he evil.' She stopped at that, Naruto he was her son, he was different, or was he? What if he was like the rest of them, what if he was a rapist? what if he abused women? maybe he was sexist like all the other pigs.
'If you can't hear something wrong with that sentence then you're an idiot dattebane!'
"Be quiet, you are wrong, they are all pigs." She whispered to herself.
'Listen to yourself. That doesn't matter though, Naruto is our son, he won't be like that, he was the perfect baby, he will be the perfect man.'
"But what if he isn't, what if he's like the others?"
'Then what? Could you honestly bring yourself to hate him? Could you hate our baby?'
"No! Yes! I don't know!" She yelled, clutching her head.
'Remember how he looked, remember how he looked with his cute whiskers, remember his big blue eyes, could you ever hate that?'
"No! But he won't be that, he can never be that! Not again. We lost that part of his life."
'Then you will love him regardless.'
"How can you be sure? How do you know?"
'I don't, but I could never hate him and I'm you. If I can't hate him, you won't be able to.'
"I hate Minato; you still care for him we are different."
'I'm sure you do, but I know deep down you miss him.'
Suddenly a scary thought came to Artemis, "w-w-w-h-h-what if he hates us-me?" She asked.
'He won't, h-he can't, we're his mother and nothing's going to change that.'
"But what if he, what if he doesn't want us? What if he was adopted? What if he has a mother? Could we take him away from her?"
'He'll understand. B-b-besides, Hiruzen wouldn't let him get adopted, or rather the council wouldn't let Minato's son be adopted.'
"But what if-"
'Calm down, he'll love us, he is our son nothing can change that. He'll love us and we'll love him back no matter what. Trust me, it will be fine when we meet him.'
