A Night of Romance
Chapter 21
I Don't Want To Fight you
Naruto charged Sasuke, his one-tailed form appearing; red chakra forming a fox-like shadow. Sasuke rose up onto his feet, purple chakra engulfed him. His eyes changed, his muscle tensed. Sasuke took hold of another Chidori, the lightening now emitting a faint dark purple glow. Naruto wasted no time, his Rasengan was ready, they ran at each other, the fist 'bout to connect, a figure comes out of the forest and grabs hold of their arms. Kakashi held the demon possessed boys in his grip.
"I remember the times I could stop you, when I could stop the two young ninja who fought each other like children. But now-"
Sasuke kicked Kakashi out of the way, "Enough!" he bellowed. "Stay out of the way Kakashi!"
Kakashi looked at Naruto who simply said, "Please, Sensei. It's only Sasuke. He is weak; you know I will beat him."
Kakashi backed off into the trees.
Naruto summoned his chakra, "Shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto cloned himself into fifteen Naruto's. Chakra erupted once more as Naruto prepared to unleash fifteen Rasengans. All the miny typhoons shook the leaves of the trees. Naruto leapt at Sasuke, who's Sharingan had already been unleashed, he glared at Naruto with the eyes of the Uchiha. Naruto separated into a few groups; the first Naruto came at Sasuke. Sasuke took hold of Naruto's arm that was holding the typhoon and threw him aside, in which doing so, Naruto grazed him with his Rasengan from three other Naruto's. Sasuke was attacked by all sides as Naruto continued his relentless attacks.
Sasuke then slid an object out of his pack, he kicked an on-coming Naruto and unwound his "Demon Wind Shuriken" and continued by throwing it at four more Naruto's that charged at him. The shuriken sliced the four Naruto's in half, who disappeared in a cloud of smoke without an ounce of blood spilled; the shuriken slid off in the other direction and separated from another shuriken that went flying at two other Naruto's.
Sasuke took the rest of the clones out with his fire ball jutsu, leaving a lone Naruto standing in front of him. Naruto was panting as he said, "Sasuke, you were my best friend. I considered you my brother even. So, why did you betray me, and the village?"
"Naruto," Sasuke said panting as well, "don't ask for answers, you already know. I want power to kill Itachi. Orochimaru has that power. He can do thing you-"
A flash of white hair and Kabuto appeared, "Sasuke, enough talking. Finish this quickly."
"Kabuto? I thought we left you behind?" Sasuke stated.
"Indeed. But I am faster than you and Orochimaru. It took quite some, but I managed. Now hurry, there will be more ninjas from Konoha soon. We cannot lose anymore Sound ninja."
"That is quite alright, Kabuto." Orochimaru said as he appeared out of the trees with several sound ninja behind him. "Let's call my earlier decision a tactical retreat. We are now alone with Kakashi and the fox demon child. The rest of their comrades are being held up by the rest of my Sound ninja. Let us take this chance to kill some of the biggest and most obnoxious threats of Konoha."
Kabuto hesitated, "As you command, Lord Orochimaru."
Sasuke, as soon as the order was finished, threw himself at Naruto. His fist flew at Naruto, who blocked it by punching Sasuke's fist. They stood there frozen for a while as they pushed each other with their fists.
Kabuto made an attempt at Naruto, but was blocked when a wall of sand stopped him. Naruto gasped as he saw Gaara standing between him and Sasuke. "Naruto Uzumaki, the village hidden in the sand, gives you its service."
Kabuto didn't hesitate as he cut through the sand with his dagger-like kunai. Gaara hardly even turned as the sand engulfed Kabuto. Kabuto had hardly any time to escape. He squirmed until he got his arms free. He continued until all but his left arm was free. As soon as he was about to pull his arm free, Gaara unleashed his sand coffin. Kabuto yelled and gasped in pain as he flew towards a near-by tree.
Kakashi looked surprised as he fended off the attack of the snakes Orochimaru sent after him. Sasuke was so stunned, that he didn't notice as Naruto ran for him a kicked him in the side of the head. Sasuke went flying through the forest, Naruto followed.
In the past, Naruto would have hesitated, but now, now he was older, maturer, and smarter. He had to get Sasuke back. No matter the cost.
Naruto landed by a lake. He peered over at Sasuke, who had recovered himself and was standing on the lakes water.
"Come, Naruto," Sasuke demanded as he gestured Naruto forward, "we finish this here."
Naruto leapt up into the air with a front flip and landed in front of Sasuke. "I don't want to fight you, Sasuke." Naruto growled as the red chakra encircled him.
"But you have no choice, right? Ya gotta, if you want me back."
"Maybe I don't want you back," Naruto growled, "maybe you aren't even Sasuke."
"Meaning?"
"You're too weak to be Sasuke!!" Naruto roared.
Sasuke sighed, "Come, Naruto, it is time we fought." Sasuke ran for Naruto.
"Fine by me. You leave me with no choice!" Naruto ran for Sasuke as well.
Naruto and Sasuke clashed above the water, their chakra sending miniature waves about the lake. Naruto punched Sasuke in the face; his headband flew to the waters edge. Sasuke stood and said, "It's not as if I need it anyway."
Naruto ignored him and ran for Sasuke; his red chakra had grown a second tail. Kitsu appeared and spoke within Naruto's head.
Remember, Naruto, four tails is your limit.
What limit? I have no limit for Sasuke.
Don't be foolish!
Whatever, stay out of this you damn fox!
You leave me no choice…
A clone appeared out of Naruto. Four tails came from this Naruto's red chakra. His eyes were slanted and his whiskers deeply scarred his face, his hair was longer slightly and more wild, his claws longer.
"What did you do?" Naruto asked the fox.
"I took four of the tails to make sure you do not go beyond your limit. I'll take more if you continue to disobey me." Kitsu spoke through the clone's mouth, an even deeper form of Naruto's voice.
"You bastard!" Naruto roared.
"Stop arguing with your pet, and fight me!" Sasuke yelled. He had run for Naruto in seconds and gave him a kick to the head, sending Naruto flying across the water.
"Fine! We'll handle this later, Kitsu." Naruto rose from the water and stood once more.
Sasuke executed another Chidori, his curse mark now totally condoling him. Purple chakra circling his being.
A/N: Sorry. It took me some time to finish this. But, I have good news. For, when I finish this (whenever the hell that is) I will rewrite it. This may be a long story, so I have no idea when that is. But, to all those who have reviewed, I am sorry not to have responded. I promise to respond from now on. I'll look through them again and see if there are any that catch my eye. R&R!!
