Chapter 12: The Ultimate Fight!

The hulking man lunged toward Naruto with an old battered sword in his hand. Naruto dodged and asked,

"Who are you?" The man smiled maniacally and replied,

"The names Kenpachi Zaraki!" Naruto then dodged a barrage of sword swipes, though barely. Hinata was about to step in and help but was stopped when Naruto yelled at her,

"HINATA! Find Ichigo and tell him to get his ass back here!" Hinata could only nod as she ran of to find the orange haired ninja.

Kenpachi was laughing insanely as he kept swinging his sword at the blond Jinchuriki who was having a tough time avoiding the old blade, as the pink haired little girl cheered on the giant lunatic. Naruto jumped back and threw 3 shuriken that struck Kenpachi in the chest. The spiky haired maniac just laughed and pulled them out and ran forward to continue his onslaught.

"Come on kid! I know you got more to ya than this! Quit holdin' back and fight like ya mean it!" Kenpachi yelled. Naruto leaped away and made a hand sign as he said,

"Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu." and 150 Naruto's appeared. Kenpachi's smile widened as he said,

"Yeah that's better!" Naruto's eyes widened as the man easily plowed through the army of clones. Naruto and 4 of his remaining clones charged at him. One of the clones punched Kenpachi, as the original Naruto leaped on his back, bounded off and performed a set of frontal somersaults. The shadow clones then consecutively kicked Kenpachi into the air with corresponding shouts,

"NA! RU! TO!" the real Naruto then jumped into the air and got behind Kenpachi as he yelled,

"UZUMAKI BARRAGE!" And kicked Kenpachi with all his might back down into the ground. Naruto dispersed his clones and began to walk away when he saw that Kenpachi wasn't getting up. Naruto stopped dead in his tracks as he heard a deep laugh from behind him. He turned and saw Kenpachi standing there, smiling a deadly smile. Kenpachi roared with laughter as he charged toward Naruto again. Naruto dodged and kicked the huge man hard in the ribs. Kenpachi chuckled and back handed Naruto into the dirt. Naruto rolled away, as Kenpachi drove his sword into the spot Naruto was just in. Naruto then decided to finish this fight. He made a shadow clone, and the clone began twisting and spinning chakra in his hand. Naruto then charged toward Kenpachi and yelled,

"RASENGAN!" Kenpachi smiled and charged forward. Kenpachi swung his sword at Naruto, who ducked it and slammed his Rasengan into the hulking man's chest. Kenpachi was sent flying backwards into a tree. Naruto stood breathless and said,

"Fight's over." to Naruto's amazement Kenpachi got and said,

"Why? IT'S JUST GETTING SO DAMN FUN!" Kenpachi then pulled of his eye patch and his chakra levels went through the roof, making a gigantic explosion even larger than Ichigo's Bankai! Kenpachi smiled at Naruto and said,

"Now time for some real fun!" Naruto just gulped as Kenpachi charged once again.

Hinata soon found Ichigo and Sasuke on the other side of the village. She walked up to Ichigo and said,

"I-Ichigo! Y-you have t-to come b-back! Naruto n-needs help!" Ichigo covered Sasuke's ears and calmly replied,

"Hell no. Naruto can handle himself. I've fought Kenpachi before and it's not an experience I'd like to relive." Hinata just stared at him, at a loss for words. Ichigo sighed and said,

"Look Kenpachi's nuts. He was one of the strongest, if not the strongest ninja in all of Karakura. He's obsessed with fighting, and anyone who can give him a good fight. He might not use jutsu at all, but he's still extremely powerful. Point is Naruto will be fine. He may wind up in the emergency room, but he won't die I'm sure." Hinata was till extremely worried and did something no one could have predicted. She punched Ichigo out! She then grabbed him and Sasuke and ran back to Naruto.

When she got there she found an extremely exhausted Naruto walking away from the training grounds. As she got closer she saw Kenpachi being told of by Lady Tsunade .

"AND IF I EVER SEE YOU IN THIS VILLAGE AGAIN YOU'LL BE IN PRISON SO FAST THOSE BELLS WON'T EVEN JINGLE!" Tsunade yelled. Kenpachi just grumbled as the little pink haired girl jumped on his shoulder.

"Bye Whiskers! It was fun!" The little girl yelled at Naruto as she and Kenpachi left. Naruto then saw Ichigo draped over Hinata's shoulder and asked,

"What happened to him?" Hinata blushed a little and replied,

"O-oh he j-just had an a-accident." Naruto raised an eyebrow but didn't question it as he and Hinata took Ichigo and Sasuke back home.
