Naruto dodged the incoming arrow. It took a bit of skin with it and Naruto knew that he was at a disadvantage if he kept this fight going on from a distance. The spider that had been summoned by Kidomaru was raining spiders down on him but thankfully Naruto was able to deal with them fairly easily. A well placed fire ninjutsu was enough to render all those spiders dead. It didn't stop the mother from producing more and more spiderlings as time went on to attack Naruto. The problem was that he had no idea what was on the fangs of the spiders. For all he knew, they could be covered in poison so he couldn't let any one of them touch him. That would only make the fight harder as time went on.
"This game is finally getting exciting! You're a pretty good player but you're still not as good as me!" Kidomaru shouted as he was forced to activate the second level of his cursed seal. He didn't normally have to do this so it made a grin form on his face.
Naruto was more than happy keeping this fight long range as he was used to fighting close range and it was valuable experience. The problem for Naruto though was that outside of his fire manipulation, the only other forms of long range combat he had was his finger bullets. Because he had them, he didn't carry kunai and shuriken.
Since he was on the outskirts of konoha, Naruto knew that he couldn't start a whole host of fires as that could potentially do damage to the nearby farms which serviced the village. That was not an option. Danzo-sensei would not be pleased if something like that happened when it could be avoided.
"Kuchiyose: Baro no Sutoraiku Jutsu (Summoning: Burrow Strike Jutsu)" Naruto called out as he placed his hands on the ground and half a second later, right beneath the mother spider, a large scorpion launched itself from underground. It used the momentum of the jump to go claws first into the air. Before the spider could even react, the scorpion had clamped down hard on the legs of the spider with its pincers. The scorpion was far enough away that when it hit the spider at the apex of its jump, the spider was not able to get its fangs in range.
The scorpion used gravity to its advantage as it fell to the ground taking the spider along with it. The arachnid hit the ground first and as it bounced up from the ground, the stinger of the scorpion went right through the head of the spider. A few more strikes later and the spider died right there.
As much as he would like to stay with his summons and thank them for the help, he had a mission to complete.
Naruto had a rough idea as to where his enemy was judging from the angle of the jutsu that had been used on him. There was a fair amount of damage that had been done and it was only thanks to his bloodline limit that Naruto didn't have any serious damage done to him. A smirk appeared on the face of Naruto and he rocketed off as fast as he could. If he wasn't able to gain anything from prolonging this fight, then the blonde haired boy didn't see any real benefit to keeping it going.
Naruto was not the best sensor; far from it in fact as he wasn't versed in the art at all. Despite this, even he was able to sense the foul chakra coming from his opponent. It was faint but he could tell where it was coming from. Ever since the chunin exams, this was the first fight that he had been pushed to the limit and it made a smirk appear on his face.
Despite the fact that he had the dead bone pulse, Naruto knew that he wasn't invincible. With the amount of chakra the enemy he was facing was putting out, if he put that into an arrow which hit, Naruto was fairly confident it would go straight through. It was why he made a point to move as fast as possible whilst zig-zagging in direction unpredictably as possible.
He had dodged two of the more powerful arrows by the skin of his teeth when Naruto grinned. He saw a glimpse of his enemy and channelled chakra into his legs so that he could move that much faster.
Seeing the sight of his enemy, Naruto fired off some regular finger bullets. Admittedly, Naruto didn't expect for these to hit. It would be great if they did but he planned for them to miss. What he was hoping it would do was that it would make the retreat of Kidomaru to a safer location in the direction in the direction that Naruto wanted. It did as The vice-captain of the sound four darted away from the bones. "Ninpou: Shunshin no Jutsu (Ninja Arts: Body Flicker Jutsu) Naruto said to himself and left with a wisp of fire in his wake.
Naruto appeared right in front of Kidomaru with a hand outstretched. This was the first time that he was going to field test the jutsu that Kakashi had started teaching him a month ago. "Rasengan!" Naruto shouted as he launched the sphere of chakra viciously into the upper chest of his opponent.
It grinded into the skin of Kidomaru and there was no surprise whatsoever as he screamed out in pain from the damage being done.
Naruto watched in awe as he saw the damage that the Rasengan was capable of. It didn't just hit the enemy and then dissipate. It continued on through and carved a cavern into Kidomaru's chest. Blood started flying out of his chest and Naruto cursed as he knew that he was supposed to leave his opponent alive so they could interrogate him. Whelp, he hoped that his two friends were doing better
After surveying the damage that had been done by the Rasengan, Naruto realised that Kidomaru was not going to make it. Naruto decided to be nice and finish him off. "Katon: Tenshi Shuryudan (Fire Release: Drilling Finger Grenades)" Naruto called to himself as he pointed his hand down at the enemy and fired the jutsu. All five bullets hit the Kidomaru in a vertical line before exploding on impact. Bits of blood, bone and organs went flying in every single direction.
Knowing that he had to go help Konohamaru who was fighting two against one, Naruto sped off in the direction of his colleague.
"Just where do you think you are going?"

Sasuke was having a much better time in his fight with Tayuya. Thanks to all of the constant sparring that he had done with Naruto over the past month, Sasuke had improved his taijutsu and physical conditioning immensely.
That with the inclusion of the chokuto in his right hand made it easy for the black haired boy to dodge the incoming attacks from the Doki. Sasuke realised that Naruto was on another level when it came to taijutsu thanks to his bloodline that he was not going to be able to match. That was something that he realised pretty quickly due to heavy defeats.
Thanks to a few mission that he had been on which had ninjas using swords, Sasuke had meagre knowledge in kenjutsu. This would only ever get better when he fought opponents who were better in kenjutsu than the ones that he had already faced. At the moment Sasuke was using a sword from his clan compound whilst waiting for the one that he had specifically ordered to channel lightning chakra to arrive.
The raven haired Uchiha decided that he had managed to steal all of the jutsus from his enemy that he could. Now there was no point in prolonging the fight especially since Konohamaru was fighting against two people.
Not again Sasuke thought as he vowed to himself that he was never again going to lose the people close to him like what had happened all those years ago. He had finally started opening up to Konohamaru and to a much lesser extent Naruto. It was always a fear that the Uchiha had in that he didn't want to have to go through the same pain again.
Plus, these people were after him and his friends were thrust into a fight that they didn't have any place in. Sasuke didn't want Konohamaru or Naruto to get injured because people were after him.
"I'm done playing games. This fight will be over soon." Sasuke muttered under his breath. With his eyes now at the third tomoe thanks to another near death experience courtesy of Naruto, Sasuke could faintly see the haze of chakra which Tayuya was sending in his direction. Despite her wanting to keep this fight long range, it was soon going to change.
Raiton chakra started coursing through the metal as gave a bit more potency to the blade. With the way that the blade was shaking, Sasuke could tell that it didn't have that long of a life span but he didn't care, he would be getting a new blade soon.
Sasuke made a move and charged at the closest Doki in front of him and sliced the head off the summon with a swipe of his blade. Before the other summons could react, a horizontal slash and a stabbing motion were made. Blood started pouring from the wounds that the Uchiha had made whatever the hell was in front of him and some of it even landed on his face.
It was definitely not a pleasant experience for the chunin but he knew that it came with the job. He definitely didn't expect to be a clean ninja all his life.
A slight constricting feeling started appearing all over Sasuke's body as he fought the Doki. Now I know that I didn't let any of those ogre freaks hit me so they couldn't have poisoned me and I have the sharingan on so this can't be a genjutsu... so what is it? Sasuke asked himself as he felt as if he was being tied up and the feeling was only getting stronger as every passing second went by.
That flute! She's got to be using that to be doing this and the only thing that would fit would be sound based genjutsu; all genjutsus target the senses and most go for the eyes as they are the most relied upon sense but this one must be different. It must go for the hearing since I have the sharingan which can see all sight base genjutsus! Sasuke thought to himself as he remembered reading everything he could on the art of genjutsu since he knew that one day, he would have to go up against the world's best genjutsu user, that being his brother.
Sasuke held his free hand in the ram symbol and channelled chakra. His eyes widened and he almost shat his pants with how close he was from being dead. It was only thanks to the sharingan that Sasuke was able to see the incoming kunai and react in such a small space of time.
If I didn't have the sharingan then I would have died there. I need to be better than this! Itachi won't let me make the same mistakes! Furious with himself for his apparent weaknesses, Sasuke charged off in the direction where the kunai came from and caught a glimpse of chakra.
He smirked, now knowing that this fight was as good as over.
Fuck shit fuck cunt shit wanker slut was the internal monologue as she saw the target coming at a very fast speed towards her. She knew that she was a specialized ninja and long range combat was ideal. She desperately needed to make the distance between the two grow so that she could re-summon some Doki.
Tayuya threw multiple kunai and shuriken at Sasuke but the sharingan was simply too good despite the red haired girl activating her level two cursed seal. The throwing power boost she received didn't mean anything to the sharingan which allowed Sasuke to parry away the incoming pieces of metal.
Fear started rapidly forming inside of Tayuya as she knew she was up shit creek without a paddle. Her opponent had her on the ropes and he knew it. To compound onto this, she knew that Sasuke was faster than her which meant that she couldn't run away.
"You should have learnt that there is a reason why the Uchiha clan are so feared around the world. It isn't something that was said without being backed up and I will now show you why we are so feared."
"You pathetic little fuckers can't be feared! You all got killed off by one guy talk about w-" Tayuya couldn't finish her statement as Sasuke rammed the electricity charged sword right into the throat of his enemy. It smashed through the teeth and came out the other side; blood started freely pouring out of the hole that the Uchiha chunin had just made.
Sasuke pulled the blade out of the woman. For confirmation sakes, Sasuke sliced his enemy's head off just to confirm that she couldn't get back up and do some damage to him.
As he wiped his sword on the girl's clothes, the raven haired boy then sheathed his blade and headed off in the direction of where Konohamaru last was. He didn't mind so much in killing his opponent as it would allow him to go and help his friend… comrade, yeah comrade that much quicker. When he knew Konohamaru was fine, then he could worry about capturing one of them for an interrogation.

"Just where do you think you're going Uzumaki Naruto?" A voice from behind him questioned just as Naruto planned to go help his friends. As soon as he heard this, Naruto immediately turned around to see someone sporting the same belt that the other sound ninjas had.
"I'm going to go save my friends." Naruto said with narrowed eyes but he got the impression that he wasn't going to be able to do that. Not with this guy standing near him.
"You won't be doing that, not today." His opponent stated with a deadpan expression.
The blonde was getting annoyed. "And why the hell wouldn't I be doing that?"
"Because your fight is with me trash." The teenager who was a few years older than Naruto stated and then rushed at Naruto at a frightening speed. Quickly, Naruto brought up his arm to block the strike.
Shit! This guy is fast. If I wasn't warmed up from my previous fight, he could have done some serious damage to me just then. Naruto thought to himself whilst taking in air. Whilst the previous fight did indeed warm him up, it was also a double edged sword as it left him not at full strength.
"Just who the hell are you?" Naruto questioned as he blocked another punch. As he said this, Naruto re-activated his bloodline and became more comfortable with his bones out.
"Trash like you doesn't deserve to find out my name but I will tell you the name of the person who will defeat you." Kimimaro stated as he looked down at Naruto, trying to judge the boy. Admittedly, he didn't want to kill Naruto but he knew that his master's goal came before anything else; even if that anything else was long lost family.
A bone started coming out of the skin but it wasn't Naruto's arm that it came out of! "My name is Kimimaro Kaguya and I am here to see your abilities Naruto."
Naruto was definitely in for a rude awakening as he saw that he was not the only person in the world to manipulate his bones into weapons. As far as he was concerned, he was the only person who could do it and had come to terms with the fact that he was the last of his kind.
"Kaguya! I thought that I was the only person that had the dead bone pulse?" Naruto said out loud although it was more to himself than Kimimaro. A million things were going through his mind at the moment and he struggled to keep focus on the fight.
A thin layer of blood started appearing from the cut that had been made by Kimimaro. Despite the fact that he was in a fight to what seemed like the death, Naruto was glad that he wasn't wearing a shirt underneath his chunin flak jacket. Heh, at least I don't have any bloodstains to clean out if I don't wear any clothes.
"Despite the fact that we are fighting, I have to say that I am happy. This is the first time that I am meeting some of my family." A tiny smile appeared on the face of Kimimaro as Naruto said this before it was squashed. He had a job to complete for Orochimaru-sama
"The feeling is mutual. One thing I am curious about is how you have the bloodline. The Kaguya clan was wiped out by Kirigakure a long time ago and you don't even share the same name as our clan." Kimimaro asked, wondering just how the bloodline of his clan ended up all the way in konoha. Despite the fact that he didn't like konoha at all, he still felt that it was a better choice than Kiri given their issues the past few years.
"To be honest, I have no idea about it. The only thing I can think of was that one of my ancestors was from the kaguya clan and then the gene was spread but laid dormant. I don't even know if it was my mother or my father who had the gene." Naruto replied, a grin forming on his face as he managed to make his own cut appear on his opponent for the day.
Not satisfied with that, Naruto fired off 10 finger bullets right at his enemy which were fairly easily dodged. Kimimaro responded in kind by firing off the exact same jutsu at Naruto. The two shared a locked gaze. I have to prove myself since he's an original kaguya!
I can't make this easy for Naruto. Whilst I have a mission to complete, I also know that I don't have much time left remaining. Now that I know my clan is not going to die out, I have to make sure that it is in good hands. Kimimaro thought to himself. Despite having loved nothing more to have a family to call his own, he definitely didn't want to pass down the genetics that he had.
This disease he had was not something that he wanted his child to suffer from. With the recent turn of events in finding out that Naruto had the bloodline, Kimimaro could find solace in that the clan would continue on.
Despite all of that, he had a mission to complete for Orochimaru-sama and that was of the upmost importance. Kimimaro watched as Naruto fired off. He didn't pay much attention to them as they were fired right in front of his feet. He should have.
These were different. It was only the last second when Kimimaro noticed the fact that these finger bullets were different from normal ones. He's gone down the route of combining his element with the dead bone pulse! I can't believe I never thought of that! The kaguya realised at the last second but it was too late to dodge the attacks now that they were so close.
The second that the finger grenades made contact with the ground right in front of Kimimaro, they exploded in a shower of burning bone fragments. It was far too late for the kaguya to dodge the incoming attack so he did the best thing he could, he brought his hands up to protect his upper body and face from the damage.
A slight grimace was heard by Naruto from his opponent. Naruto grinned as he knew that this meant that some of the attack connected. Not wanting to waste any time, the blonde haired boy went through some hand seals. "Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu (Fire Release: Grand Fireball Jutsu!)"
Before the jutsu was even close to him, Kimimaro could feel the incoming heat. He couldn't see it from the smoke cloud from the previous jutsu but he knew where it was coming from. Curse this trash, I have to dodge this attack or otherwise I will be burnt alive! I have to complete my mission for Orochimaru-sama. I definitely didn't expect any konoha scum to force me into using my cursed seal but I guess it had to be the kaguya clan member.
The first stage of the cursed seal granted to him by his master activated and covered his body in black tribal-esque markings appeared all over his body. A few patches of skin were missing and whilst that definitely did hurt, all of his major organs were still fine so Kimimaro persevered through the pain. The small healing ability provided by the cursed seal would definitely be in action today.
Panting for breath, Naruto watched how his opponent came out of the cloud of smoke and waited. He was pretty confident that attack had to have done some damage to Kimimaro.
Naruto realised that shit just got real and he was in for a whole new world of hurt. The sound ninja rocketed forward in the direction of Naruto slammed his elbow into the boy. Whilst he new that he had a fight to finish, Kimimaro for the first time in a long time decided to be selfish.
With the clan about to be down to one member soon enough, he had to ensure that the future of the clan was in good hands. If he killed Naruto straight away, then that would put that in jeopardy.
Wheezing, Naruto got up as quickly as possible from the hit and blocked the incoming swipe that would have surely ended his life. Whatever it was that was increasing Kimimaro's abilities was something that forced Naruto into stepping it up a gear.

Konohamaru was dealing with his three enemies. It wasn't easy but if there was anyone who could do it, it would be the Kyubi juggernaut. With the amount of chakra that he had at his disposal, it meant that he was the best person to stall out the fight until help from either Naruto or Sasuke came. Given the fact that these people in front of him were accomplices helping Orochimaru murder his grandfather, Konohamaru was contemplating going on the offensive and ripping them to pieces but he had a role to play and if he wanted to become the hokage, he needed to follow the rules.
Personal satisfaction wasn't worth losing his friends though so the boy played the patient game and waited until one of his comrades came and helped him out.
Konohamaru launched another fireball at his enemy, still playing the stalling game. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something and couldn't help but grin. He now knew that it was time to go onto the offensive and thanks to the fact that he had the Kyubi inside of him, Konohamaru had all the chakra in the world to facilitate that.
The Sarutobi heir pulled the red staff from his back and grinned as he felt the kyubi's chakra race through him. Whilst most of his training came from his grandfather, he had to attribute the usage of the kyubi's chakra to Jiraiya. His whisker marks were more pronounced, eyes were crimson red with black slits and there were faint traits red chakra surrounding him but nothing more.
A familiar sound of a thousand chirping birds rang through the air and Konohamaru couldn't help but look on in jealousy. He had seen just how much damage that the jutsu Sasuke was using could do and wanted one of his own. It was too bad that with earth release as his main element, learning a high powered lightning release jutsu would be easy by any stretch of the imagination.
A split second later and Konohamaru realised that now was his time to go on the offensive. After seeing Sasuke take out one of the twins, Konohamaru realised that if he didn't want to miss out on getting some revenge against the people who helped kill his grandfather, then he was going to have to act soon.
Konohamaru sprinted off the ground and raced to the fat enemy whose attention was focused solely on Sasuke. Admittedly, he wished that this fight was a bit harder but he couldn't complain as he was confident that no one was going to come out of this without any serious injuries.
Racing forward, Konohamaru smashed the end of the pole into the stomach of Jirobo before launching a vicious slam with the other end of the pole into the back of jirobo's head. The force from the attack was enough to push the man's head face first into the ground. A sickening crack noise came when bone connected with dirt. Blood was flowing freely. It wasn't a pretty sight.
Konohamaru didn't rest on his laurels though as he swung his stick with one final blow into the base of his opponent's neck. Once again sounds were made and this time it was in the form of a snapping sound.
"…" Konohamaru couldn't offer up any words as he stared down at the victim of his first kill. Sure. He knew that it was something that was expected since he was a ninja but it wasn't easy to stomach. The only saving grace that was running through his mind at the moment was that the person who he killed was an accomplice of Orochimaru.
"Konohamaru, snap out of it!" Sasuke shouted, annoyed at his teammate. "Death is something that you will have to come to deal with in this profession. Now do you want to gain revenge to the people who killed your grandfather or not? This person here is in a genjutsu. Do you want to give the final blow or do you want me to do it?" Sasuke offered as he knew just how much of a big deal revenge was. If Konohamaru was in the same position with Itachi, he would expect his comrade to give him the offer.
This did indeed snap the chunin out of his funk. Konohamaru shook his head to rid himself of his thoughts. "Thanks Sasuke-teme. I will do it." Konohamaru said before pulling out a kunai. He couldn't bring himself to slice the neck of his enemy but he felt confident in being able to do it from a distance.
A minute and an earth release jutsu later and the evidence of murder was buried beneath the ground. "We should head over to where Naruto is. We don't know what state he is in or if he has defeated his target." Sasuke stated as he took command of the situation. After all, it was people after him that brought his comrades into this mess. He wasn't about to let the closest things he had to friends die because of that!
x-X-x
blood freely fell from the but on his forehead from the cut inflicted by Kimimaro. His knees were weak, his arms were heavy and he constantly had to keep wiping the blood out of his eyes if he wanted to stand a chance against his distant relative. It was easily the toughest fight by far that he had been in and it didn't seem like it was going to let up any time soon.
Naruto wiped away the blood from his eyes for the fourth time. "Katon: Tenshi Shuryudan (Fire Release: Drilling Finger Grenades)" Naruto called out. I guess it will have to do. He knew it was bad to call out the name of each jutsu but it would serve its purpose.
Jumping back from his position in the field, Naruto was glad that there were trees nearby because he sure as shit knew that if he had to fight up against Kimimaro in an open field, he would be a corpse right about now.
Whatever those markings are, they sure gave him a power boost. Is this the shit that Sasuke has access to? Naruto thought to himself as he could definitely see some benefits to having it but surely, for something so powerful there had to be consequences.
When he wasn't using it, Naruto was able to fight Kimimaro to a standstill. Both landed hits and Naruto liked to think that he was slowly getting the edge over his opponent. The only saving grace that Naruto could see was that Kimimaro was coughing quite frequently.
Given his opponent, Naruto would have loved to be facing a fully fit Kimimaro so that he could test his bloodline to the fullest, he was not complaining. This was a fight that there was only going to be one person walking away from alive. Both parties had conflicting missions and there was no emotional attachment allowing for a truce to occur.
"You are quite skilled Naruto, far better than the rest of the trash that Konoha has produced." Kimimaro said with a panting breath.
He didn't show it but he was quite happy with that comment. Ever since he found out that he had the dead bone pulse bloodline, Naruto wondered what his distant relatives would think of him and his abilities.
"But you are still no match for me." Kimimaro stated before he raced towards Naruto.
"Oh yeah, well we will see about that!" Naruto returned serve and just as the two kaguya clan members were about to clash in a forest of bones, Sasuke appeared.
Sasuke, without warning slammed a high powered kick into the unsuspecting Kimimaro's obliques, smashing him into a tree. "What the fuck Sasuke? This is my fight!" Naruto shouted in the heat of the moment.
"Tch, you looked like you needed it." Sasuke replied, annoyed at the fact that he was coming to aid his friend and it was getting shoved back into his face.
"Sorry Sasuke, it's just look who my opponent is. This is more than just some random enemy ninja. This is a fight that I need to do on my own." When Naruto said this, Sasuke looked over and noticed what Naruto was talking about. Instantly, he understood. If he finally got to have a fight with Itachi, he wouldn't want Naruto or Konohamaru for that matter interfering with in the fight unless absolutely necessary and even then he would probably have a grudge against that person.
"Fine, but if it ever looks like you are going to get yourself killed, Konohamaru and I are going to step in whether you like it or not. I actually want a challenge in this race for hokage and with you gone all I have left to prove myself against is the dobe and that is no challenge at all!"
Naruto Smirked and turned his attention back to his distant cousin whilst he could hear a "Hey!" in the background.
I'm not going to last much longer, I can feel it and even if I did defeat Naruto, I would have to contend with the jinhcuuriki and Sasuke before I can even think of bringing the Uchiha back to Orochimaru-sama. It's easy to tell that he does not want to come.
For the first time in a long time, Kimimaro decided he wanted to be selfish. He wanted to follow his own goals rather than those of Orochimaru. With that thought in mind, Kimimaro activated the final stage of the cursed seal, knowing that it was only going to hasten his death.
"Well fuck me." Naruto muttered to himself as he noticed what was happening to his distant cousin's body.
To his horror, Kimimaro did something that none of the three Konoha ninjas in attendance thought was possible. Sure, Naruto had toyed with the idea but he had never seriously considered it. Kimimaro pulled his spine out of his upper back and didn't die from it.
"Let's see how you handle this young Naruto." And in a dash, the enemy ninja vanished reappearing about five metres away from Naruto and swung the bone whip. Thanks to the cartilidge in the spine, Kimimaro was able to use it as a whip.
"Ahh." Naruto cried out in pain as thankfully he had his endoskeleton jutsu working overtime. Bone raked on bone but not before having sliced through skin as if it was butter. Blood was spurting out of the wound.
Naruto was lucky he had his endoskeleton jutsu running on overtime because if it wasn't for that, he was confident that he would have died.
Konohamaru who watched this happen, couldn't take it. He couldn't bear to see another one of the sound ninjas taking the life of one of his leaf village comrades. Over the course of the last few weeks, he had gotten to know Naruto and whilst he wouldn't consider the guy his friend just yet, he still didn't want him to get permanently hurt.
Going into action Konohamaru went through some hand seals and slipped into the ground beneath him.
Unaware of what was going on, Naruto knew that he needed to go on the offensive, he couldn't keep taking hits like that and expect to live to tell the tale. The quicker he ended this, the better.
I have to end this fight close range. If we stay at this distance, he is going to keep pulverising me with that whip! A thought was in the back of his mind as to what he could do when he got up close and personal with his enemy but he wasn't sure if it would work. He had tested it in training but he had never field tested it. What's the worst that could happen he thought?
In a speed that he hadn't displayed before, Naruto raced forward, hoping to cut the distance and making the whip less powerful, Naruto held out his right hand, chakra forming.
Kimimaro watched with interest, waiting to see what Naruto would do.
With his left hand, Naruto quickly did the hand seals for the shunshin and disappeared with a fire trailing behind him. The second he reappeared in front of Kimimaro, Naruto thrust his palm into the chest of his opponent.
"Rasengan!" Naruto shouted out as he thrust the ball of chakra into human flesh for the first time. Naruto gritted his teeth as he pushed the jutsu as hard as he could. There was a reason why the Kaguya were a feared bloodline as the bones were proving tough to crack.
In the end, the rasengan won out and forced the enemy ninja to collide with a tree, smashing into it with emphasis. Blood came spurting out from the mouth of Kimimaro and was also dripping from the wound created. There was even some black liquid pooling out as well.
The second level of the cursed seal receded and not by choice. Kimimaro didn't realise that whatever that jutsu that Naruto had would be that powerful. He was assured by his ultimate defence but unfortunately that wasn't the case.
Seeing the damage done, Naruto ran over to him with his hand held out and another rasengan formed in it. "I'm sorry it had to be this way but this ends now."
Kimimaro struggled to shake his head. "I have a terminal disease anyway so don't take this personally. I knew my fate was coming to an end and to have it taken by the last member of the Kaguya clan is an honour." Before he could say anymore, Kimimaro coughed up a wad of blood.
This didn't bother Naruto who was heavily leaning on one leg, confident that his cousin wasn't going to try anything. Out of the corner of his eye, Naruto noticed that Sasuke put a hand in front of Konohamaru to stop the two from coming over. Thanks Sasuke, I owe ya one.
"Naruto, I want to warn you though. You need to get stronger. There will be many people who will try and use our bloodline for their own agendas. I know you probably think Konoha wouldn't do this but you are wrong. Danzo would be a prime example of this." Kimimaro stated without knowing whether or not Naruto knew the man.
That's the second time someone has said to be extra careful around Danzo-sensei. I guess I have to be more careful especially since Kimimaro mentioned it, I mean just how does he know sensei?
"Unfortunately I can't be of any more help to you young Naruto about the clan and improving your abilities as that is something that you will have to do on your own. I will say I am impressed with your abilities and hope that you restore the clan to a clan with honour and pride, rather than the way the clan was previously viewed-" Kimimaro was cut off with an intense bout of coughing, given the pain he was in.
"Now, Naruto, please finish me off. I am in too much pain to continue." Kimimaro requested to his enemy.
The last Kaguya clan member nodded resolutely and shoved the rasengan into the heart of his relative.
