Hello all, happy Friday the 13th, the valentines thing will most likely be cancelled since I couldn't go on the computer much this week so…ya, but at least you can enjoy chapter 25.

Naruto looked at Kimmimaru who began to cackle insanely and then burst into a odd laugh, it freaked Naruto out but that feeling soon ended when he heard a unwanted voice.

"Kimmimaru…step aside." A voice said, after careful examination by Naruto it was Sasuke who stood on the dome of Las Noches.

"But you said I could kill him!" Kimmimaru shouted lowering his sword completely

"Don't let your guard down…" Naruto whispered faintly as he flipped upwards and slashed his sword in Kimmimaru's direction, putting most of his energy into this attack. The red reiatsu wave hit Kimmimaru in the back hard making him slam into the ground and slam into the white dome like tower, but not enough to make it collapse.

Kimmimaru slowly got up his head covered in blood and his back severed, he was outraged as bones shot out of his back wound and his reiatsu shot up. Naruto noticed that his sword went back to normal; he wasn't too disappointed at that since he didn't have enough energy to hold it for much longer. Naruto was more afraid than ever as he realized his situation had grown worse, he then saw Kimmimaru get blasted and fall to the ground. Naruto blinked and then safely landed on the ground and walked to the hopefully dead Kimmimaru. He was dead for a fact, a beam of electricity shot straight through his heart, he looked up to see Sasuke land a few feet in front of him.

"You killed him?" Naruto said looking at Sasuke weirdly as the blonde haired shinigami sheathed his zanpakuto.

"Of course…he was nothing but a pawn, I couldn't have him kill you…I plan on doing that myself." Sasuke said as he appeared in front of him and punched him in the gut hard enough for him to fly to the other side and slam into a bone uprooted from one of Kimmimaru's attacks.

Naruto growled as the two flash stepped and punched each other's fist sending a sonic boom shattering most of the bones in the field. Sasuke raised his left leg and round-house kicked him in the temple making him turn to the right, as he did that Sasuke kneed then elbowed the top of his head making him slam into the ground. Naruto noticed the elbow and grabbed it, then spun around and kicked Sasuke back, immediately throwing a fury of punches and kicks at Sasuke who blocked each one of them as his sharingan shown. Sasuke grabbed one of the punches and bent his wrist completely then kicked him in the chest to make him slam into the ground.

Sasuke appeared where Naruto would land and he kneed him in the back then grabbed him by the hair and threw him away. Naruto rolled onto the ground and lay on the soft sand for awhile his eyes half open as his hand barely touched the sand. Naruto got up and was immediately punched then kicked and sent back to the ground. Naruto got up once more and saw Sasuke on the other side the two dashed at each other and began to block each other's accurate kicks and punches with brute force.

Thanks to Yoroichi Naruto could read Sasuke's moves almost as good as he could, it's like he had the sharingan but not quite. The two kept this up for awhile each trying to trick each other with random sweep kicks, back-fists, or close-lines. Naruto began to grow tired, sweat dripping off him as his previous wounds began to take a toll on his body. The last three moves Sasuke did hit Naruto with deadly accuracy as he was then grabbed by the throat and slammed head first into the ground.

"You're no match for me Naruto…as you can see I have grown stronger…I haven't even un-sheathed my sword." Sasuke said grinning

"Neither have I…" Naruto stated after coughing as he quickly unsheathed his sword and slashed his sleeve with insane speed.

Sasuke looked at how fast the strike was as Naruto grinned, Sasuke pulled out his sword which had the Uchiha emblem for a guard, a black hilt with purple diamond designs and a faded silver katana blade. The two clashed blades and began to parry each other's attacks. Naruto was better at swordsmanship than hand-to-hand combat since he usually fought with a sword. Naruto had delivered a few good slices to Sasuke by jumping up and spiraling wildly. Sasuke then disappeared and for a moment Naruto thought he had retreated until he felt an uneasiness in his left ribs. The cut, more like a gash was now visible as blood shot out of his wound like a medium speed faucet. Naruto's eyes widened as he took a few steps and stumbled to the ground placing a hand on his wound to try and stop the bleeding.

Sasuke laughed then ran at him to deliver the final blow. Naruto mumbled something as his sword turned into his released state making his reiatsu rise a bit but making his wound get worse. Naruto got up and slashed the air having the red wave of reiatsu hit Sasuke in the chest making him fly into the tower. Naruto yelled and flash stepped toward him and clashed blades with insane force. Sasuke's eyes widened as he couldn't hold on much longer, his blade was thrown to the right of him and his chest was slashed having his shirt come off. Naruto kicked him with the side of his foot on Sasuke's face then put a lot of force in the kick to make him stomp on his head.

Naruto jumped back and sliced the air three more times making the red waves of reiatsu dart at him. Sasuke disappeared then appeared behind Naruto as he spun around and clashed blades once again. The two began to fight so fast that all you could see was faded images of them trying to slice at each other, and occasionally some blood fall on the sand either from a slice or Naruto's wound. It had been one hour and they continued to fight at such a speed, Naruto held back his exhaustion, his muscles burning and his wound building up the pain inside his body. The only thing that kept him going was the anger Naruto held inside him for Sasuke, for what Sasuke has done to him.

The two then landed and Naruto realized Sasuke began to slightly pant as they both had been cut up pretty bad so far. Naruto's knees began to grow weak and hard to stand on as he made his sword fall to the sand, dragging it across if he had to walk over to him and slash the Uchiha. Sasuke stood regularly but just slightly panting with little sweat dripping from him. He twisted his blade so the sun would hit it and bounce off somewhere, the target was Naruto's eyes. Sasuke knew it would get his attention if he twisted it, and it did. Naruto was blinded for a second but heard Sasuke moving then disappearing.

Naruto made a clone which clash blades with Sasuke behind him as Naruto slashed at the clone in order to slash him. Sasuke drifted back then placed his hand so the palm was facing Naruto, he then said:

"Hado 54, Haien." After Sasuke said the kido a blast of purple reiatsu raced toward Naruto, if it touched him he would be incinerated.

"Bakudo 39 Enkosen!" Naruto shouted after he stabbed his sword in the ground as a barrier of reiatsu shot up to shield him from the attack. The barrier of condensed reiatsu had trouble defending against such an attack but eventually it managed to do its job.

Naruto then jumped up with his hand opened as he yelled out "Hado 31 Sokatsui!" A red ball of energy then formed in his hand as he threw it like a baseball towards Sasuke, the kido gained more speed and power to it as it came closer to Sasuke.

"Kukanten'I" Sasuke faintly said as the attack disappeared, only to reappear and hit Naruto directly in the back making him yell and fall down.

"A forbidden kido…but how…who taught you that?" Naruto asked slowly getting up, smoke coming from Naruto's burnt back

Sasuke coughed a bit then gripped his sword tightly and said "That knowledge wont do you any good Naruto…why ask it?"

Sasuke rushed at Naruto who immediately jumped up and grabbed his sword. They clashed blades again as Naruto swiped his finger across the blade to make a red reiatsu wave slam into Sasuke and his blade which made him fall back. The two began to slice at each other, Sasuke using the sharingan to its fullest extent and evading each attacking knowing what Naruto would do before he knew himself. After thirty minutes of this Sasuke started to get even more tired, Naruto fell to one knee and panted, his exhaustion really beating him down much.

"Naruto…were both tired…as much as I hate to admit it…in this state we are equal…it's time to end this…I shall release my zanpakuto and finish you off!" Sasuke declared

Well that's chapter 25…another one might be out later today since I'm going to my dad's house and all…anywhom don't forget to write a review when you read it. Once again happy Friday the 13th everyone .
