Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
The Grinning Fox, chapter 10
" That implanted eye won't help you today, but if you insist fighting," the person said and then a shadowy figure jumped out of the trees.
Kakashi's, Sasuke's and Naruto's eyes widened in shock who was standing right before them.
Right before the Team, he was standing, his crimson-colored eyes with three tomoes in each eye. That was him, the person who killed the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Sora.
Sora was the same hight as Kakashi, he had short, pitch black hair, his eyes flaring crimson red, on his left side of the face right under his eye he had a small scar. He wore a dark-purple, V-neck, sleeveless shirt. His ninja sandals were the same color as his shirt and his trousers were as black as his hair. He wore a weapon pouch on both sides of his hips and a Kunai holster on his right and left thigh. There was a visible katana on his back which hilt was blood red-colored.
"Long time no see Sasuke-kun," the older Uchiha said and waved his hand to Sasuke who was too stunned to do anything, "You see, I have tasked myself with eliminating the Uchiha Clan, sooo... you know, it's time for you to meet your parents," he continued, the first part was said in an innocent tone but the ending of the sentence was filled with anger and bloodlust.
None of the Genins moved, even Naruto was shocked who his first enemy will be. 'Uchiha Sora, the one who has annihilated the whole Uchiha Clan in one night, the one who made Konoha vulnerable from the loss, the one who killed my Godmother' the Blond thought and clenched his fist in anger as did Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun, do you see this scar?" Sora asked showing on the scar below his eye, "That was the only injury I got during the massacre. Want to guess who it was?" he asked in a mocking-tone. After a few seconds without Sasuke's answer, he continued, "It was your father, Sasuke-kun,".
"Sasuke, he is trying to enrage you. Stay calm, I will take him on," Kakashi said pulling out two Kunais and holding each in one hand. Sora started to chuckle darkly.
"Kakashi, do you really think your implanted Sharingan can match my eyes?" Sora asked, "Yes Kakashi, let's see how truly strong you are," he said but before he could attack Kakashi started to speak.
"Take the triangle formation, now! Naruto you are in front," Kakashi said and the Blond nodded. Both Kakashi and Sora rushed forward and met in the middle of the clearing.
Naruto turned to look at his two teammates who were still unable to move due to the imitated Killing Intent. Naruto slapped them both in faces and they snapped from the fear. The three Genins quickly changed their formation to a new one which looked like a triangle. Naruto was standing in front of the two, Sasuke behind his left and Sakura behind hir right. A few moments later Sasuke decided that he would go and help their Sensei with Sora when he was about to rush in the fight, Naruto caught his arm and gave him a killing look.
"Kakashi-Sensei said we are to stay here and wait for him," the Blond said in a cold voice and the young Uchiha flinched. He didn't want to just wait and see how his Sensei fights the person who killed his family, but he also knew that he would have been killed instantly, so he decided to nod and go back on his position.
As the three genins watched the battle from behind, the two Sharingan users used their weapons to gain the upper hand in the battle. Sora was at the offensive with his Katana, while Kakashi had to dodge or block his opponent's attacks with two Kunais. After a moment of fight Kakashi found an opening and launched a front kick right into Sora's gut, the latter flew three meters away. Meanwhile, Kakashi unrolled a scroll and slammed his hand on it.
'I never thought I will have to use it again' Kakashi talked to himself as he pushed Chakra into the scroll. When Sora gets up and was about to attack again, he saw a poof of smoke. After it cleared he saw Kakashi w a tanto, but it wasn't a normal tanto, no, it was the 'White Light Blade' used by the infamous White Fang of Konoha. The silver-haired Jonin pushed his Chakra into the sword and it started to shine with white Chakra.
Then again the two fighters met in the middle, both of them have the respective weapons they again went into a clash with their swords. When Kakashi started to push Sora back, the latter decided to jump away and change the fight's style. He quickly found an opening and tried to land a kick on Kakashi's head, but the one-eyed Jonin ducked under the Kick and decided to sweet Sora's legs. The Uchiha had no time to dodge the sweep and he has fallen on the ground. Kakashi was about to cut him in two but the Black-haired Shinobi rolled back and avoided the attack.
Sora quickly put his sword back and started to sign. 'Snake, Dragon, Rabbit, Tiger', but Kakashi was not left behind and started to sign as soon as his Sharingan predicted which Jutsu Sora will use.
"Katon: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu!"
Sora said and exhaled a fire which soon formed to look like a dragon, the beast flew forward Kakashi.
"Suiton: Water Bullet Jutsu!
Kakashi stated and spat out a great ball of Water, which then collided with the Fire. the two Justsus clashed for dominance but Kakashi's won after a moment thanks to the affinity of his Jutsu.
Kakashi had no time to launch his own attack because his opponent soon launched another Fire Jutsu.
"Katon: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
Sora shouted and then Fireballs started to fly out of his mouth forward Kakashi. The one-eyed Jonin wanted to jump to his right, but then he saw a Shadow Clone of Sora who ended his signs.
"Katon: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Another Fire attack flew forward Kakashi, who's eyes widened in shock. 'How wasn't I able to see him making the Clone' he thought.
"That's your end, Kakashi," the older Uchiha said and started to laugh maniacally. The three Genins looked in fear at their Sensei who was in a pinch.
A moment before Sora's attacks could do any damage to the one-eyed Shinobi, Kakashi felt a hand on his shoulder, before he could turn around and see who it was, Kakashi was standing next to the three Genins with Naruto holding his hand on the Jonins shoulder.
Everyone looked at Naruto in awe. 'How is he so fast, I haven't even seen him moving' everyone thought besides Kakashi who knew what Naruto did.
"Thank you, Naruto," the Jonin-Sensei said and the Blond nodded.
"Don't worry Sensei, I got your back," he said with a grin which faded as fast as it appeared, "But it's no time to thank each other, we got to deal with Sora," Naruto said and the older Shinobi nodded. Naruto made a singular Seal and took down the gravity seal, which was placed on his chest.
"Sasuke, Sakura, you both stay here. I and Naruto are gonna take him down," the older man said and the pink-haired girl nodded, but her crush just grunted and clenched his fists.
'How is he so strong? Why is he the one to fight Sora?' where the questions which Sasuke wanted to know the answer for, but before he could ask the two Ninjas where already rushing forward their opponent.
"I see, two on one? Well, I guess I can make the odds even," Sora said and closed his eyes. Naruto was first confused about what he was doing, but after a few seconds, he understood what his opponent was doing. Before Naruto could attack, Sora opened his eyes and instead of the three tomoes, there was a vortex-styled Mangekyou Sharingan, "Now let's see how you are going to win now," he said and launched forward.
Naruto jumped back and started signing and Kakashi tried to confront Sora in Taijutsu fight. The one-eyed Jonin was quickly pushed on the defensive since the Uchiha could predict his every attack. After a few seconds, to Sora's confusion, Kakashi jumped as high as he could. The confusion disappeared from the dark-haired male when he saw Naruto's attack incoming.
"Futon: Wind Explosion!"
The Blond quickly linked both of his palms and then made a cutting motion, a small, visible ball of Wind flew fast forward Sora who started to sign at an inhuman pace.
"Doton: Mud Wall!"
The Uchiha spat out something, which looked like mood and it formed a wall barely before Naruto's attack was too close. When the ball of Wind was close enough, the Blond split his hands, which made the small ball explode and leave the wall destroyed. Naruto cursed under his breath, that his attack was unable to do damage to the Uchiha.
"It's a very powerful attack, don't you think? Where did you learn this attack?" Sora asked with a curiosity.
"I have created this Jutsu," the Blond said and his opponent nodded sagely.
"I see, by the way, Kakashi, I saw you getting under the earth so you can go out," Sora said and suddenly Kakashi got out from under the earth, "Let's continue, it's getting fun!" he said maniacally and started to sign. 'Rat, Horse, Dragon, Serpent, Hare, Bird'. Naruto's eyes first widened as he saw which Jutsu Sora is about to use.
"Futon: Wind Explosion!"
Sora stated as he connected his palm and made a cutting gesture forward the two Konoha Ninjas. Kakashi turned at the Blond and he saw him smirking. When the Jutsu was close enough and Sora was about to split his hands, the Blond Konoha Ninja took out a Seal with two Kanjis in the middle. First was 'Wind' and the second was for 'Explosion'. Naruto quickly made 'Ox' and then he said, still smirking.
"Uzumaki Fuinjutsu: Reverse Devastation!"
Sora split his hand and then an Explosion occurred and smoke covered the whole battlefield. Sasuke's and Sakura's eyes were wide from fear that it was the last time that they saw their Sensei and comrade, but when the smoke cleared they saw Kakashi and Naruto. The latter was on his knees and was panting, the Blond slowly stood up and sighed.
"Naruto, are you alright?" Kakashi asked and sighed in relief when Naruto nodded.
"Yeah, just it takes much Chakra out of me," he said and Kakashi was a bit surprised about what he heard.
"So the Justsu take out too much Chakra even for you?" Kakashi asked but this time Naruto shook his head.
"The thing is that the 'Uzumaki Fuinjutsu: Reverse Devastation' uses much Chakra on its own, but this is not the problem. The main issue is that if I want to reverse the Jutsu I must put at least twice as much Chakra into it, so I must first put the Chakra to use the Jutsu and then I must push twice as much Chakra s my opponent to use it or something like this," Naruto said giving his Sensei a grin.
"So you can just reverse the effect of every Jutsu?" Sakura asked as she and Sasuke come closer to their two comrades.
Naruto shook his head, "No, first I must be able to use this Jutsu and then I must seal the Jutsu in a special seal I have developed about two years ago. The problem is that it can be only used once," he said and his teammates nodded. Before anyone could ask anything else, everyone heard a groan of pain and then they looked where Sora was standing. Then they saw that older Uchiha was still standing, his clothes had holes and cuts everywhere, blood was dripping from his right arm and he was also bleeding from a few minor injuries on his face.
"Naruto..." the Uchiha said and chuckled darkly "Now I finally understand what they want from you. I would gladly fight longer against you, but I am too injured, besides I am not the one who is supposed to get you," he continued, "So Sasuke-kun, this time you were saved by your friend and Sensei, but they won't be always guarding you," he ended and was about to run but decided to tell them one more thing.
"Kakashi, when you go back to Konoha, you can say the Hokage that I used mines Mangekyou's Sharingan special prowess to change your spies in Taki for my marionettes. I won't need them anymore," he said and jumped away.
"Don't think that you are getting away from here," Kakashi said and made three hand signs. 'Ox, hare, Monkey'. A Chidori appeared in Kakashi's right palm and the one-eyed Jonin rushed forward his opponent. Sora just smirked and a singular hand seal and disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
"Shunshin," Kakashi said and sighed. then he turned to his Genin team, "I guess we should be going, we will rest in the Taki. Naruto can you hold the pace with us?" Kakashi asked and the Blond nodded.
Soon team seven started to jog forward the Village hidden in Waterfalls. Everyone was thinking about something else, Sakura was thinking how thankful she is that her Sensei and teammates are so strong. Sasuke was thinking on the words which he heard from Sora. Kakashi and Naruto were both thinkings who the older Uchiha meant by 'they'.
So here is the fight against Sora and that means chapter ten is here as well. In the stories, I am going to give everyone some new Jutsus that I have created.
So for people who expected Sasuke or Sakura do more in this episode (or actually do anything), I just thought that neither Sakura nor Sasuke is strong enough to face Sora, that's the reason why I left them behind, but don't worry I have a few fights for the two of them. Please review what you think about my style of writing fighting scenes.
