Chapter 9: The Escape…and the Result

Naruto's face paled instantaneously as he looked around worriedly.

'Oh no, I'm not going to make it! They're going to kill me!' his eyes bulged seeing his chances of being free diminish like a candle being blown out. He looked around in panic, searching for a slight hint of an escape, and saw one through a slightly bigger gap between Kurenai and Kakashi then any of the others. He tried to sprint through but was kicked back by Kakashi who shook his head.

Naruto felt his chances grow even smaller then as his confidence faltered too. He quickly thought up a plan A, but thinking of doing a Kawarimi technique, but then realized that it was quite impossible with nothing surrounding him except for mounds of sand.

Then, a plan B popped into his mind. He quickly put his hands together and formed many different hand seal before summoning something that had saved his life numerous times. "Doton: Doryuuheki (Earth element: earth rising wall)," Naruto mumbled as a wall formed around him in a cicular shape.

'I've never seen this type of wall form in a circle. Naruto, you truly are trained well,' Kakashi thought as he formed his own handseals. When he finished, he put his left hand onto his right forearm and put his right hand down as he mumbled his original technique's name, "Chidori!"

The shrieking chakra gathered in his hand and he let it, before it was large enough and he thrust it straight into the wall, making it crumble. Before the dust cleared, Naruto sprinted through the cloud and past Kakashi. A little bit taken back, Kakashi stopped a while before chasing after him followed by Asuma and Kurenai.

'Something's wrong,' Kakashi thought, 'I don't hear footsteps!' He quickly took out a shuriken and threw it before making a cross with his hands and saying, "Kage shuriken no jutsu." The one projectile turned into many as they sped at the runaway blond. Asuma and Kurenai's eyes widened in horror as they watched them ram into the poor blond. "Baka, Kakashi, we weren't supposed to kill the boy!" Asuma spat. He spoke too soon as the 'Naruto' went up in smoke. The three quickly turned around and saw the real Naruto running away the other way.

Kakashi quickly chased after him, sprinting through the sand, making a cloud of dust behind him. He threw a kunai in front of Naruto in order to stop him for a while and when Naruto hesitated, he lunged at him, stumbling with the blond.

In panic, Naruto kicked Kakashi off and sprang up. Asuma and Kurenai landed from a jump on the other sides of Naruto who realized that he just wasted his chakra on this pathetic Bunshin (remember, he doesn't know Kage Bunshin yet). Knowing there was no other way out, Naruto dropped into his stance, still a bit worried, but knowing that he had to in order to earn his freedom.

with Miyu-

The brunette sense chakra abrewing not far away and one of them…seemed familiar. Miyu wasn't sure from whom it belonged to but it made her curious and so she followed this sense towards to battle to the desert. She cursed when she realized that there would be no way for her to hide herself as she observed the fight and so she used henge and changed into a bird.

As she neared the sight, she started to mask her chakra, better and better, in order to hide it from the fighters. After a minute or so of flying, black dots came into view, four of them. She flew closer as the dots became clearer and recognized two of them. Her eyes widened and her mouth slowly opened in horror. 'Naruto!' she thought. 'and Kakashi! Damn, this isn't good! Naruto can't fight with this guy. He's too good! (don't forget, Kakashi's mask was torn and so his face shown.)'

She wanted to jump in and end the fight, but she knew that it would be of no use and just flew overhead, watching. She saw Naruto drop into his fighting stance nervously and cursed, noticing the problem. 'I should've worked on not being scared more!' she knew it, but didn't respond physically. Then, she noticed something. One of the other Anbu was looking at her out of the corner of his or her eye. The person unbuckled his pouch and took out a kunai, before flinging at…her! She quickly dodged, sensing the danger, but realized that another kunai was coming. She figured out a plan and took the hit, falling, falling, falling, until THUMP! And she hit the ground.

with fighting group-

"What was that Asuma?" Kakashi asked, keeping one eye on the boy and another on the fallen bird.

"It looked suspicious, Kakashi. It was circling our fight like it found a corpse, but there is none around here." Kakashi nodded before turning his full attention back on Naruto. Naruto, reckless because of fright, lunged at Kakashi who easily dodged and kicked Naruto to the side. The blond quickly recovered and dropped down into a stance. He threw several shurikens at Kakashi and disappeared. Kakashi took out a kunai and parried the attacks before looking around for Naruto.

'Above?' thought Kakashi as he looked up and saw a shadow loom above him. He quickly jumped up and attacked the Naruto met the hit. Naruto smirked before disappearing in a 'poof'. Kakashi cursed as he looked down and saw Naruto down on the ground, preparing for Kakashi to land. 'He uses his jutsus well!' Naruto made a big mistake in paying no heed to the other two as Asuma kicked Naruto away and allowed Kakashi a safe landing.

The leader smiled signaling his gratefulness before turning back to Naruto to see him starting a jutsu. The little commas in his sharingan began to twirl in a circular motion as Kakashi began to do the same hand seals. "Katon: Housenkan no jutsu (Fire element: Phoenix Fire)," they both said simultaneously. Five needles of fire came out of each of their mouths, Naruto's aiming for Kakashi, Kakashi's aiming for Naruto's fire needles.

Kakashi's fire met their mark, hitting Naruto's, dispelling both. Shurikens fell out of Naruto's, and bounced a little before resting in one spot. Naruto cursed at his first trick being found out as Kakashi quirked an eyebrow. 'He put shurikens in his flames? He is very skilled indeed. Asuma was about to intervene again along with Kurenai but Kakashi put his hands up. "Don't, let me fight him alone. Stand guard for anyone coming."

The two nodded and evened out the spacing before stopping and suddenly becoming more aware of their surroundings. Kakashi looked back up at Naruto and saw his fingers twitching slightly from his sides. He looked behind him and saw the same shurikens alive again. His eyes widened as he ducked in order to dodge, the blades grazing off a couple of hairs. Naruto cursed that this trick didn't work a second time as he prepared to attack again.

'That's almost all I know! And he copied that jutsu! What's with that?' Naruto thought as he charged again. He tried to punch Kakashi, but he dodged and Naruto fist flew past him, but Naruto's other fist came a little behind and hit Kakashi square in the stomach. Kakashi stumbled back again before trying to punch Naruto, who blocked and tried to punch the Anbu leader again. Kakashi this time, grabbed hold and tried to counter, but Naruto didn't give him enough time, trying to kick him with his hand still in Kakashi's grasp. Kakashi grabbed the foot too, but then, Naruto punched Kakashi's elbow in, causing Kakashi to loosen his grip on Naruto's hand as Naruto regained control of it.

Still without a foot, Naruto quickly ran through some hands seals and faced Kakashi before muttering, "Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu (Fire element: Grand Fireball no jutsu)." A great big fireball was blown out of Naruto's mouth and onto Kakashi who could only shield with his two arms as Naruto was blown back form the force. As the flames went out and a shadow didn't emerge right after, Naruto gained more confidence and smirked a little as he walked away to leave. After taking his first steps, he felt someone hit his head, and he fell, leaving consciousness.
