"Tell me, Naruto Uzumaki, the Jinchuuriki… Do you believe in ghost?" Kimimaro grinned as the face changes into a human's face.
"H-How? You're dead! How in the hell did you get here?!" Naruto demanded before he made a coughing as his neck get squished by Kimimaro's hand. There is no way he can be here.
"How? I made a deal with a devil. Then, I have reborn as a ghost spirit to capture this beast that similar my technique." He smirked.
"You made a deal with devil?! That's bullshit!" Naruto guessed Kimimaro is lying to him. There's no way he could meet with a devil.
More importantly, he has to escape from this! Naruto tried to fight back all he can do before Kimimaro will destroy him. But, his arm got stuck by stabbing with a bone sword. His other arm got held by Kimimaro's hand. He is stuck and can't do anything to fight it.
"Since, I finally caught you in my hand…" Kimimaro said as he let Naruto's right arm. He did. Right before, he stabbed in his arm with another bone sword. Stabbed through his arm until hits the tree.
"Naruto!" Ruby cried in horror, hearing his painful scream. Watching him gets stabbed. She can't watch this. She won't allow this happen. She has to do something and fast! She started to dashes fast by using her Semblance to save Naruto.
"We're going to help her!" Pyrrha said as her friends nodded.
This isn't good for Naruto because he just saw Kimimaro is creating several bones in his left arm. He's going to finish him with that.
"This is for my revenge. Now die, Naruto Uzumaki!" Kimimaro started as he moved the left arm with bones to kill Naruto in his heart. This will end for him. But, before killing him, there's a flying shield just flew toward him on sideway. Kimimaro dodges the flying shield as he lets Naruto go.
"Thank god, I made it on time." Pyrrha said. She's the one who threw the shield at him and used her Semblance to control the metal. She was afraid she won't make it, but luckily, she can make the metal into a long range.
Ruby was furiously at this moment. She gave her battle cry as she swings her scythe to Kimimaro. Kimimaro dodges her attack by doing a backflip. Then, he dodges the bullet from Ruby's sniper.
"You won't let you hurt my friend!" Ruby yelled in anger as she went in front of Naruto to defend him. Her eyes are on fire. She's protecting her closest friend Naruto.
Weiss has never seen Ruby's anger when she saw her friend got hurt by an enemy. This is her first time to see her leader's anger.
So, she's finally here in this part. She pulls the sword bone out from Naruto's right arm and dropped it down. But, the right arm of his is already started to bleed. It's dropping a lot. A bad one. Weiss was going to stop his bleed, but…
"I'm fine." Naruto stopped her as he started to get up on his feet.
"You idiot! Your arm-"
"I said I'm fine!"
Weiss paused when he yelled at her. He wasn't angry at her. He was angry at the enemy.
"Weiss, Ruby, and everyone listen to me very carefully." Naruto said in a serious tone. "I want you guys take Yang and get away from here as far as you can. This game isn't easy. That creature is no match for you guys and not stupid like the other Grimm."
"What about you?" Pyrrha asked.
"I'm going to buying you guys' times." Naruto said, switching his assault rifle mode into Kubikiribōchō. He's going to fight his enemy by himself.
"What?!" Ruby asked in shocked as she looks back when she heard him. "No! No way! We fight together! I'm sure we can beat-"
"Ruby!"
Ruby got scared by his yelling. Her body suddenly jumped up and her heart, too. She wanted to help him. She knows she can do it if they work together. The others people also got scared of his yelling. They can't believe Naruto yelled at her right in front of them. He went way off.
"I'm not going to repeat again. Get Yang and get out of here-scram!" The blond shinobi said.
Kimimaro is getting annoyed by Naruto, telling his friends to run away. So, he charges toward them before creating a duel bone sword in his hands to fight them. He jumps into the air, slashing them with his twin bone sword.
Naruto clench in his teeth as he pushes Ruby and Weiss in his way and blocks the attack from Kimimaro. He parries the blow by holding his sword vertically until he finds the opening spot. He found it. He was going to punch in Kimimaro in his face. But, when his arm goes over it, the bone spike out and stabbed his arm.
"Naruto!" Yang yelled, got carried by Blake as she's running along with team JNPR.
"We have to go!" Blake yelled.
"But…"
"Yang, just do it as Blake said…" Ruby frowned.
"Ruby…"
Back to the fight!
Naruto created the Shadow clones and fight together against Kimimaro. However, it's unbelievable. He already took down all of them by killing them with twin bone sword. Not even scratch on him or sweat. This is almost like 4 years. This is a rematch. Round 2!
"I admit your Taijutsu is well, but you're nothing match to mine." Kimimaro spins his sword into the upside down as he dashes toward him and slicing Naruto on his back.
Naruto dodges the attack before swinging his sword at Kimimario by his torso, but he did an amazing dodging move. He leaped one foot on Naruto's big sword and jumped up into the air as he did a backflip. Kimimaro made bullet bones from his fingertips.
"Teshi Sendan (Digital Shrapnel)!" He yelled as he shoots at Naruto.
The blond Shinobi blocks the bone bullets with Kubikiribōchō. However, these bullets aren't just a bullet. These bone bullets easily pierce through the steel and made six holes. Naruto gets a shot in his shoulder. The rest of them were missed because he eluded by using pure speed.
Right at this moment, Kimimaro dashed right in front of him. He swings his sword on Naruto's right side of the body. Naruto sidesteps the attack, but another bone sword is going hit him on left side.
"He fell for it!" Naruto thought with a smirk as his fist punching Kimimaro in his face. His fist is actually missed him.
Kimimaro dodged the punch, but there's a thing that he's confused. That missed punches from Naruto. He did it on purpose. What was his plan?
Well, there it is now. A strange attack on his face looks like invisible. He got sent a fly toward the forest. Got hits on his back against it as the tree started to fall down.
"Oh…" Kimimaro sees he has looking-toad eyes with orange markup around his eyes. He wears a red large cloak. "I know that one. This is your Sennin mode. One mountain called Mount Myoboku, but it doesn't live in our world."
"Kimimaro, I won't hold it back anymore." Naruto said as he's on his Kawazu Kumite (Frog Kata). "Your emotion is far too evil and gloom. I won't let you go and hurt people!"
"We'll see…" Kimimaro smirked as he activates his hidden aura, surrounding him while a red stripe like blood running over his body.
The wind pressure hit Naruto as his feet were slide backward. By using his Sennin sensor ability, Kimimaro's aura is pitch-black and incredibly overwhelming. The trees are dying by that. He hates to say this… It's almost stronger than his Sennin mode.
This will be a tough battle. Naruto's Sennin power versus Kimimaro's new power.
"Do you feel that?!" Kurama asked as he sensed the darkness aura from Kimimaro.
"Yeah, I didn't expect he's that strong. It's almost stronger than my Sennin mode. His aura is so different. Just… what in the world did he get?"
Someplace in the forest, Ruby, and the others are running as far as they can while Naruto fighting with the enemy. He bought them more time for them to escape from there. But, for them, they felt wrong to leave Naruto by himself and fighting his enemy. It just feels wrong.
Ruby hated it... she hated when she left Naruto behind by himself because he told her to run away. She did. but she wanted to help him. However, he harshly yelled at her for not to interfere him. He did it because he wanted to protect her and the others. He knew she and the others ain't ready to face the strong opponent.
"Uhh… guys…" She finally spoke as Pyrrha and the others stop their running and turn around to her.
"What is it?" Weiss asked.
Ruby gulped nervously and going to says something crazy, "This might be sound crazy… I have to go back."
"Are you out of your mind?! Didn't Naruto tell us to run away?! Because that Grimm Creature is no match for us!" Weiss yelled angrily
"I know that…" Ruby said as she held her arm tightly. "But, I don't want to leave him. He did a lot of stuff for us. I remembered he saved my life from Deathstalker because I was foolish like a child. I might not too strong, but still, I want to help him. There's one thing that actually made my heart melt. Those who disobey the order might be true. But, those who abandoned their friends, are worse than scum. Those words taught me so much better."
"Oh." Weiss paused as she remembered what he just said. Sacrifice yourself to save everyone's life.
"I think Ruby is right. Naruto needs our help." Blake said as she walks beside Ruby's side. "We do own him our life."
"He helped me to train my skills." Jaune said.
"We're his friends. We'll follow you, Ruby." Pyrrha said.
"You guys… thank you." Ruby smiled.
"Yeah! Let's help him and kick the enemy's ass!" Yang said eagerly.
Naruto crashed through the trees and got impact by Kimimaro. It's incredible. His strength. His speed. His endurance. All of them are different and pretty strong. Naruto can manage to fight him like that. However, his speed, it's too fast. That'll make his Taijutsu too good for him. Naruto was right about him.
Naruto wiped out of his blood, charging his twin Rasengan in both hands and waiting for the next attack. He probably won't hold him off any longer with his Sennin mode. Perhaps, he has to use the one chakra if that won't work.
Here it comes. A large white bone looking-drill is smashing through the forest. Kimimario charged toward Naruto with his strongest attack.
"Rasenrengan!" Naruto yelled as he put first Rasengan to hit into a bone drill. Thanked to the Senjutsu because it can give a boost the strength to Rasengan. It's enough to break Kimimaro's strongest attack.
Kimimaro sees his own attack is breaking by Naruto's Rasengan. He knew what he's planning to attack next.
"Now, another one!" Naruto thought as his last Rasengan to hit in Kimimaro's stomach. That was his last shot… But, the shocking part is white spikes came out from his stomach by using rib bone. It's a trap! The white spikes stabbed in Naruto's hand to stop his Rasengan attack. He tried to move it, but it stuck.
That was a good try thou, but Kimimaro caught him in his eyes.
"What a foolish move." He grinned evilly as his hand grabs Naruto's hand and squeezed it tight. After that, he makes the bone sword from his palm. "This time, I will end your life."
Danger! There's no way Naruto can block that attack without using the hands because they were hold and stab. Looks like it's a time to use it!
"Kurama!"
"I'm on it!" Kurama was about giving his chakra to Naruto, but luckily for him… A red Scythe was thrown in front of him and blocks Kimimaro's attack for Naruto. Kurama stopped what he's doing, looking for someone who saved Naruto's life.
A red hooded girl jumps on the Scythe, grabbing the handle and spinning her kick the enemy. Kimimario moved back as his bone spike pulled out from Naruto's hand.
"Ruby?" Naruto said in relief. He can't believe he just saw Ruby. Right in front of him and saved his life from him. "What are you doing here?! I told you to run!"
"No, never! I won't run away! I hate running! You can yell at me, but I don't like to leave my comrades behind!"
Naruto's eyes started to raise with shock expression when she said that.
Ruby charged toward Kimimaro as she lifted her Crescent Rose up on her shoulder before she could jump. She jumped up into the air, twirling her body and shoots a gun from her scythe to boost her speed.
She strikes down at Kimimaro as her weapon is swinging to him. But, his head moves to the right and dodged the blade of her scythe. As his bone spikes are still on his arm, he started to stab her.
"Too slow." He said.
"No!" Naruto yelled as he's going to save Ruby. However, there are fast bullets piercing through Kimimaro's bone spikes.
Made his face goes stun in his eyes. It's rarity he didn't sense his enemy's attack and telling the speed of the attack. Yet, there's more. A blond woman charged out of the forest like a rhino.
"Yang?!" Naruto shocked.
Yang's hair is already turned into golden and her eyes are red like fire, so that means she's in angry mode. She landed right in front of Kimimaro before started to punching him as she can while her Ember Celica shooting.
"This girl… is different than I fought her before." Kimimaro thought. Her strength increased when her eyes are red and the hair is glowing gold.
Yang smirked as she stops her attack and jumps away from him. Then, two girls Weiss and Blake rushed under Yang, holding their weapon rapier and katana to attack Kimimaro together.
"Weiss, and Blake…?" Naruto cannot believe his teammates came back to help him. Ruby, Yang, Blake, and Weiss. They're all here.
"Naruto please let us help you."
Naruto's head pop up as he turned his back to look. He sees Pyrrha, standing behind him and holding her weapons. She and her teammates are here
"Pyrrha." He said in relief. "You all here."
Pyrrha smiled at him, "Ruby is worried you'll get hurt. So, we ran and came back for you."
"She's worried about you, too." Nora whispered him about Pyrrha as her face gets red.
"Hey!" Pyrrha pounds to her teammate's shoulder.
"Naruto, do you hear what Ruby just said? Maybe you said this, "Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandoned comrades, are worse than scum."
Those words just made his brain went chill. He didn't argue anything. He was amazed Ruby said those words that he just said it, but it wasn't. They ain't his. It was from his Sensei.
"Sorry for being a reckless guy." Naruto gave up as he started to get up, looking at his teammates fighting Kimimaro. His old family and friends will be proud of him for teaching them the way of huntsman or he would prefer call the ninja's way.
In the battle, Ruby swung her Crescent Rose at Kimimaro, but he dodges her attack. He jumps over her blade, getting ready to eliminate her by using the bone attack. Before eliminating her, there's a white Glyph was stepping by Ruby's foot.
While seeing this one, Ruby incredible dashes back away from him. Then, she was switches place with Pyrrha as she charges at Kimimaro. The red-haired woman shifted it her sword into a spear and thrust her blade at him. She's stabbing him like a thousand stabs, but his combat experience is too good. Better than her skills.
"Ren!" She called Ren as he's shooting him with twin automatic pistols. He made Kimimaro back away from Pyrrha.
"Nora!" Jaune yelled.
"Roger that!" Nora said eagerly as she jumped in the air, smashing her hammer to him on the ground. Kimimaro clenches his teeth in anger at this moment as he jumps up to avoid the hits. He sees the girl's hammer smashed on the ground, making big crumbles.
Kimimaro underestimates those kids. He wasn't talking about Naruto. He's talking about the other people that were with him. He thought they're weak, but they got talent with modern weapons and interesting power. He has to retreat for now before things can get ugly.
"You think you can escape!" His eyes widened when he heard a voice from behind.
He turned around and started to shock. He sees Naruto flew in the air, holding twin Rasengan on both hands. He can't dodge that one. It's over for him.
"It's over! Senjutsu Rasenregan!" Naruto yelled before he finished him with a final blow. His twins Rasengan are powerful enough to break Kimimaro's bone. Plus, as he's in Sennin mode, it makes twin Rasengan even more powerful than regular level. It started to break Kimimaro's chest and shoulder. Cracking apart opened as it flies up in the air.
He was sent down to the ground and crashed. Made a big hole, depending on how many levels of the impact goes.
Naruto landed on the ground and check on Kimimaro to make sure if he dead. He looked over the hole that he made. There's Kimimaro lying down on the ground and looks dead. His chest bone has been broken. So, he should be dead and disappear like Grimm did. Naruto sensed no chakra of him.
"Naruto!"
Naruto turned around and sees his friends are running toward his direction. He smiled on his face. He could imagine them of his old friends. Running toward him with leaves flying over them. It would be good if he could put the sun for the background.
"Hey guys-" Naruto suddenly got a slap on his face from Yang's hand. That was unexpected. His mouth is completely shut and fear of her anger.
"Sorry…I was doing this for Ruby… So…" She said with fake smiled as she put her hands behind and looked at him with a red face. That was embarrassing.
"Don't you ever doing that again because I got scared you…you won't make it!" Ruby cried with a single drop of tear. Her face is hella red like a cherry. Her anger made a train smoke from her head.
Naruto smiled as he ruffles her head gently and said, "Sorry, Ruby. Sorry I made you guys worried about me. I thought I can handle him by myself, but I was wrong. If you guys aren't here, I wouldn't have died."
"But, we…" Jaune said
"Beat him!" Nora roared with cheerful.
"Thank you." Naruto smiled. "Thank you all for helping me. You all did great."
"Well, it's not over yet. We still have 2 more days until the assignment is over." Blake reminded everyone.
"Oh, yeah! That's right! We almost forgot that!" Weiss said.
"There's a waterfall on the east. It's not that very far away." Ren said
"Woohoo! Bath time!" Yang excited.
"Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go." Naruto smirked.
"Yes, let's go camping." Pyrrha said.
Naruto and his friends started to continue to go on camping. They have to wait for long 2 days until someone come to pick them up. The battle is finally over-
"Mai (Dance)…"
Naruto was stunned when he heard the voice from the ground. He can't believe he's still alive.
"Sawarabi no Mai (Bracken Dance)."
Then, the countless bones rise from underground…
