Chapter Thirteen:
Battle for the Farm! Unleash the Beast!
Part Two!
(These pest are becoming much more of a nuisance than any others for my Master), Raging Winds thought to himself as he watched Roaring Bear change forms and caused himself, and the other two, to crash to the forest floor.
He saw as his master's two opponents jump to their feet as soon as the landed ready to fight once more, (Fools don't they see they stand no chance against him? What is it that drives them to attack with no hope of winning?).
Raging Winds saw as Weary Hawk ran forward and began to grapple with the bear form of Roaring Bear, each fighter struggling to pin the other. Then without warning Weary Hawk looked to be winning before completely lifting up Roaring Bear over his head and with a mighty yell threw him into the open area of the farm! Weary Hawk then fell to one knee for a couple of seconds before standing up and rushed out of the forest to tackle the one he once considered family.
(What is going on?), Raging Winds thought as Roaring Bear got up and noticed his father heading for him. Roaring Bear roared with anger as he too charged at his father with the intent to break the man's back with his charge.
(How! How can this human have the strength to go head to head with Roaring Bear? When I met with him he barely had the energy to breathe let alone fight my master at full strength!)
These turn of events caused much confusion to the eagle as he tried to figure out how the enemy could be this strong before he notice something different about the battle.
(Where is the Child!)
Raging Winds swept his head back and forth, trying to find the blonde haired child who had one too many close calls to hurt his master. Unfortunately just like how he never noticed the disappearance of Naruto, he never noticed the two winged beings hiding in the shadow of one of the nearby clouds as they silently dived at him from above.
(Mean while on the ground.)
Naruto watched silently as his Grandfather and Roaring Bear collided with such force that he winced when their bodies smacked against each other with the sound of thunder. He was currently hiding up a tree once more, sitting on a long branch with a clear view of the farm area, holding onto Weary Hawk's bow and had several arrows with him as well.
'Hmm Grandfather seems to be holding his own? But I don't have long', he thought to himself as he laid his small group of arrows on to the branch and pulled off his equipment pack from his waist.
He quickly pulled out a total of four chakra sensitive exploding tags quickly wrapping them onto four of the twelve arrows he had with him. 'Let's hope this plan works like we hope...'
During their small break Weary Hawk and Naruto quickly went over what they had to help them take out their adversary who was at the moment an unstoppable force.
Naruto had shown his grandfather the four explosive tags and they quickly set up a plan to hopefully kill or at least wound Roaring Bear enough to where he could be easily taken out.
Seeing his grandfather now wrestling with the Skin-walker once more within the vicinity of the tents, causing the tents to collapse from them throwing each other through them and kicking up dust temporally clouding their shapes, he lifted the first tagged arrow and silently knocked it into the bow slowing his breathing as he focused on the biggest shape within the cloud and sent a silent pray to the Wind Spirits before releasing the arrow.
The arrow flew silently and true through the branches and out of the forest until a strong gust blew the arrow slightly off course and flew right past the demon's mid-section and into the fence post that the two had been standing next to the post.
Weary Hawk hastily jumped away from Roaring Bear who looked at the now smoky arrow with confusion on his face.
(What is that boy trying to prove?), Roaring Bear's voice rang out into the air, (No small Arrow such as this ca-).
The arrow then exploded with such a force it caused the skin-walker to roar in pain as the flames and smoke surrounded his body.
Weary Hawk not expecting the size of the blast was flung backwards into one of the already destroyed tents he and his monstrous son had destroyed in their rumble.
"I'm getting too old for this insanity….." He thought to himself as he heard his adopted grandson start cheering and running towards him.
"Grandfather are you okay" Naruto asked Weary Hawk as he got closer to him.
Weary Hawk stood up from the debris, dusting himself off while looking over his body for any wounds. "I am fine Maelstrom. Though a little warning about those 'explosive tags' would have been helpful." He told Naruto with a chuckle.
Naruto rubbed the back of his still mud covered head embarrassed before turning towards the still smoky area where Roaring Bear had been.
Weary Hawk followed his gaze and sighed deeply, already the energy he had gathered slowly started to drain from his body. "Maelstrom, go to the others. Tell them it is alright to come out now."
Naruto looked to his grandfather and slowly watched as his body once more became weak and his deep voice becoming tired. Once Weary Hawk's body became like it once was Naruto nodded his head, "As you wish Grandfather, please wait for me to return and try not to push yourself."
Seeing the old man waving him away, Naruto quickly ran towards the still dirt covered hill. Not noticing Weary Hawk slowly walking towards the suspected dead body of his former son.
Inside the house:
Team Seven and Eight were listening closely, hoping to hear what was going on in the outside of their dirt covered fortress.
Kurenai looked towards Kiba who was concentrating harder then the others due to his heightened senses.
"Anything Kiba?" she asked.
The dog user shook his head, "Sorry sensei. Either nothing is going on outside or they have moved farther away."
Sasuke snorted with disgust, "May be those two fools got themselves killed, serves them right for keeping me locked up in here with you weaklings." He then turned to glare at young Rose who was still glowing, an earthy green aura surrounding her body.
"Unless the girl knows what's going on?"
Noticing everyone's eyes where upon her Rose decided to humor them. "I have been watching the outside ever since I put up this barrier. And while I couldn't exactly 'see' what was happening it's seems as though it is over."
"Then why don't you let us out?" Sakura practically blew out everyone's eardrums.
Rubbing her ears as hearing was returned she told them, "Until I am told to by Brother Maelstrom or Grandfather I will not lower the barrier and put both us and them into danger."
Suddenly Rose's glowing eyes widened as she sensed something approaching the barrier and place its hand on the dirt.
(Rose can you hear me?)
Both Teams instantly got ready for any trouble that might explode from the outside.
Smiling Rose slowly let the barrier down showing allowing Naruto to open up the front door with a smile on his own face.
"It's over."
With Weary Hawk
As he stood over the smoking human looking corpse of his last heir Weary Hawk could not help the buildup of sadness he was experiencing.
'My son…. What happened to you?' He thought to himself. 'Where did the young man who could help anybody, who loved his people and would have been a greater legend then even myself. Where did he go…..? ?'
Slowly tears gathered around his eyes as he spoke what he thought would be his last words to his son.
"I wish I had been there my son. I wish I could go back and actually talk to you about your troubles."
Wiping the tears he turned towards the house where he saw Naruto and Rose running up to him with smiles on their faces, Team Seven and Eight right behind them...
"But rest assured my son, I will be there for those two as they begin their journey into the world. And I will not fail them as I did you." He swore, his eyes burning brightly as he felt a strong desire in him to keep his promise.
But thoughts of spending his last years of life with his grandchildren were crushed into oblivion as he saw the children's eyes widen with fear and felt a leathery like claw grab his throat.
(Too bad you will not be able to keep that vow…. Father.)
Alright, folks that's all for tonight.
I will try my best to make sure I get more chapters out faster but give me a while.
Until next time Golfbum90 out!
