Original Chapter Twenty Five
Naruto burst through the forest and landed on top of the first Hokage's head. Sasuke was standing across from him on Madara Uchiha's head. The two were looking at each other.
"This is where our fight will be." Sasuke called to him.
"I don't want to fight you Sasuke." Naruto called back. "Come back to Konoha."
"No, they were holding me back!" Sasuke said angrily.
"No you were holding yourself back by working alone." Naruto replied calmly. "If you go any further I will have to take you back by force… or to kill you so Orochimaru doesn't get the Sharingan." Naruto told him as he drew out his Katana.
"Like you could kill me an Uchiha!" Sasuke exclaimed angrily as he leapt off of Madara's stone head and flew at Naruto. Sasuke pulled a Kunai out and slashed at Naruto, Naruto was able to block the attack and take a large chip out of the Kunai.
"Sasuke stop this now." Naruto said as he pushed Sasuke back.
"NO!" he yelled as he kicked out and Naruto caught the attack with his hand. 'How is he so strong!' Sasuke thought as Naruto kicked at Sasuke sending him flying into Madara's chest creating a crater.
"Sasuke I do not want to hurt you." Naruto told Sasuke angering the boy.
"Well I want to hurt you!" he yelled as he flew at Naruto again. Sparks were flying everywhere as Naruto blocked everyone one of Sasuke slashes with his Kunai until the Kunai was sliced to pieces. "AND I WILL TAKE THAT SWORD!" Sasuke yelled as he attacked again.
'I am going to have to kill him.' Naruto thought sadly.
'It would seem so.' Kyubbi told him
Naruto leapt back when Sasuke started to go through some hand signs. "Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled as he created a massive fireball.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" Naruto exclaimed as a giant water dragon rose out of the water and flew at the fireball extinguishing it. "Sasuke please stop this insanity." Naruto said calmly.
"IT ISN'T INSANITY!" Sasuke yelled angry that the supposed dead last was beating him thoroughly.
"Fine then." Naruto said. "You have no chance to win against me Sasuke." Naruto told him coldly before charging at him.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled as he started to spit out small fireballs at Naruto. The fireballs hit his cloak and barely hindered him. Naruto kneed Sasuke in the stomach making him fly into the air. Naruto looked up and forced chakra into his legs and flew through the air. Sasuke opened his eyes to see Naruto flying towards him Katana point first. Sasuke barely twisted to the side as Naruto flew by.
'That should give me a few seconds to recover.' Sasuke thought when he heard a popping noise. He looked behind him to see Naruto flying at him at him. 'How did he do that?' Sasuke thought as Naruto tackled him at full speed and the two slammed into the ground.
Naruto winced in pain. 'Damn I broke my leg and arm.' Naruto thought as he looked down at Sasuke who was still awake and alive. 'Damn…' Naruto thought when purple chakra started to surge around him. Naruto felt Kyubbi surge chakra into his arm and leg healing them almost instantly. Naruto leapt back and flex his limbs as Sasuke stood while the marks started to spread across his skin.
"I WILL KILL YOU!" Sasuke yelled as red chakra started to bubble around Naruto and he fell onto his hands.
"Sasuke stop now." Naruto growled in an altered voice.
"No Naruto with this power I will kill you!" Sasuke said maliciously.
"I don't think so." Naruto said.
"I know all you ranged attacks and none will do anything to me." Sasuke said arrogantly.
"All but one!" Naruto yelled as he stuck his arm around and the red chakra launched at Sasuke. Sasuke was momentarily stunned as the chakra fist collided with his chest. Naruto instantly went after the boy.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled as the fireball hit Naruto Sasuke smirked until a large cyclone kicked up extinguishing the fireball. Water was swirling around Naruto as he stood stock still on the water. 'Why is he so strong… no matter how much I train he is always ahead of me!' Sasuke thought angrily feeding the cursed seal. Naruto was moving too fast for Sasuke's Sharingan to track. 'Why can't I see him!' Sasuke thought desperately as Naruto literally kicked his ass. Suddenly Sasuke could track Naruto moving. 'What is happening?' Sasuke thought.
'Shit his Sharingan just advanced.' Naruto thought as he slashed out at Sasuke and he dodged. Naruto's hands were a blur and Sasuke was easily defending against him. Suddenly Naruto heard chirping noises and sheering pain in his shoulder. Naruto coughed up blood and looked down to see Sasuke's hand in his shoulder. Sasuke was smirking viciously, but that was wiped away when Naruto grabbed onto his forearm and kicked him in the stomach multiple times. Naruto let go of Sasuke at the last hit and his hand was ripped from Naruto's shoulder. Sasuke looked up to what he thought was a fatal hit but was stunned to see the wound mending itself together. "You have made me angry Sasuke." Naruto said with a deathly calm voice as a second tail started to form. Naruto's body started to hurt from the strain of the chakra.
'Naruto you can't handle much more.' Kyubbi warned him as Naruto's features became more feral.
'I will be fine.' Naruto thought with some pain. Naruto suddenly burst towards Sasuke in speeds that wouldn't be able to be seen by the normal eye. Naruto and Sasuke were trading blow after blow. Neither could get an upper hand.
"I WILL KILL YOU AND TAKE THIS POWER!" Sasuke yelled.
"Sorry but killing me and this power comes with me." Naruto said calmly making the boy angrier… if that is possible. Naruto watched as Sasuke's skin started to turn dark gray, his hair started to grow and turned dark blue, a star-shaped mark appeared across the bridge of Sasuke's nose. Naruto was suddenly knocked back and across the river. 'What the hell just happened?' Naruto thought as he pulled himself out of the hole his back created when he hit the cliff wall.
"This power is amazing." Sasuke said with a vicious smirk.
"I will stop you Sasuke." Naruto said as he started making a dark purple Rasengan. Naruto leapt at Sasuke and slammed the Rasengan into him, dust was kicked up and Naruto's vision was obscured. Naruto waved his arm and flung the dust in all directions. Naruto saw a webbed hand covering Sasuke's body. 'What the hell is that?' Naruto thought as it moved from Sasuke's body to show that with was a wing like appendage. Suddenly another hand ripped out of his back.
"We will end this now Naruto." Sasuke said as he charged up a black Chidori and Naruto created another dark purple Rasengan. Naruto leapt in the air towards Sasuke as Sasuke flew at him.
"CHIDORI/RASENGAN!" The two attacks connected with each other and it was a battle of dominance to see which Jutsu was the strongest. A dome of chakra surrounded the two and started to grow. Suddenly two things flew out of the sphere of chakra. Naruto had another hole in his chest while Sasuke had the burn marks from Naruto's Rasengan and the two wounds were healing quickly.
'I am going to have to do that technique.' Naruto thought as he heard Kyubbi gasp.
'Naruto you know that technique sacrifices your healing ability to enhance your speed and strength.' Kyubbi warned him.
'I know that Kyubbi.' Naruto thought as the red chakra receded into his seal as the wound was completely healed. "Looks like I will have to increase my power." Naruto told Sasuke who was standing across from him. Sasuke started to hear bones cracking and muscles tearing. He saw a muzzle jut out from the cowl of the hood. Naruto hunched over and Sasuke saw a hairy clawed hand pull the string of his cloak and Naruto stood up to his now six foot tall height and let out a loud roar. In front of Sasuke was a werekitsune. "Come on Sasuke." Naruto said as the cloak fluttered away. Naruto suddenly ran at Sasuke with his clawed hand on the ground leaving five long gashes in the ground. Naruto slashed up and left five long gashes on Sasuke's chest that started at his left hip and ended on his right shoulder. Sasuke was suddenly thrown back and slammed into the wall.
"What is that power?" Sasuke demanded as he pulled himself out of the hole his back created. The wounds Naruto had created were healing.
"I sacrificed my Healing Abilities to augment my own Speed and Strength." Naruto told him as he moved again and kicked out with his clawed foot connecting with Sasuke's chest making him crash into the hole he created earlier. Naruto started to slam his fists on Sasuke. His hands were starting to bleed from how hard his fists were clenched. Suddenly an arm launched out and grabbed Naruto by the throat.
"Chidori!" Sasuke yelled as he slammed his hand through Naruto's chest once again. Naruto took the claws on his feet and dug them deeply into Sasuke's chest piercing both of his lungs and pulled back as hard as he could racking his claws down Sasuke's chest. Naruto leapt back and grabbed his chest as blood poured down it along with blood pouring out of the ten deep gashes on Sasuke's chest. The two looked at each other both become soaked in their own blood fast.
"We each can only do one more attack Sasuke." Naruto stated matter of factly.
"I guessed as much too." Sasuke admitted.
"Let's end this Sasuke." Naruto said as he charged up a blood red Rasengan. The two suddenly flew at each other in a burst of speed. Naruto was able to reach Sasuke first with his enhanced speed. "Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as his Rasengan slammed into Sasuke's stomach at the same time as he started to revert back to his normal self, when Sasuke charged a Black Chidori and slammed it into Naruto's chest. The two coughed up blood. The two fell to the ground and fell onto different sides of the river. The two somehow were able to pull themselves out of the hole. Naruto had blood streaming down his chin along with Sasuke who was reverting back to his normal body. Naruto weakly started to run as the holes in his chest started to heal themselves as he charged at Sasuke. Sasuke was doing the same and the two fists collided together and they entered another Taijutsu fight. Naruto was a little faster than Sasuke and was able to deal more hits on him but Sasuke's strength was holding out and when they hit Naruto they were more powerful. The corners of their vision started to darken as they fought against each other. Neither wanted to pass out before the other. The two leapt back at the same time to catch their breathes. 'We are too evenly matched right now.' Naruto thought as his vision started to tunnel along with Sasuke's and the two started to stumble backwards and fell into the craters they had made during their fight. Sasuke had passed out and Naruto was using the last of his strength to pull himself out of the hole and saw a figure grab Sasuke and leap away before he passed out and slid back into the crater at the same time as it started to rain.
With Kakashi
'I have to stop them.' Kakashi thought as he followed Pakun.
"Kakashi what are you doing here?" Tsume demanded stopping the Jounin in his tracks.
"Tsume-sama…" Kakashi trailed off as he looked at the slightly older but more powerful woman.
"Well?" Tsume demanded her temper rising.
"I have to find Sasuke-kun and Naruto-kun." Kakashi said as Tsume raised her eye brow at him.
"So now you care about Naruto-kun?" Tsume questioned making Kakashi flinch a little. "Help me protect these medics while we look for Naruto-kun." Tsume ordered and Kakashi nodded in defeat the small group leapt off in search of Naruto. "So why did you ditch your pups?" Tsume asked.
"Pups?" Kakashi asked genuinely confused.
"Students." She told him.
"I knew that if I didn't spend time with Sasuke-kun he would do something like this." Kakashi defended himself.
"That won't cut it when Tsunade-sama gets that talk with you." Tsume told him. "And if Naruto-kun is hurt no one will stop her from placing a kill on sight order on him." Tsume stated.
"Why?" Kakashi asked once again confused.
"I am a mother and I know that those two have a mother/son relationship." Tsume told him. "If the person who hurt my pup was still alive I would rip his nuts off and kill him slowly." Tsume stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world, the men in the group covered their crotches as the women giggled. They came to the Valley of the End and they were shocked to see the sheer carnage of the damage.
"What happened here?" a medic asked.
"A master level fight." Kakashi said before leaping to the floor with Tsume close behind him. They surveyed the damage and the two saw a black cloak laying on a Katana stabbed into the ground they went towards it and as they drew closer they were shocked to see Naruto laying unconscious in a hole not too far off blood and water was pooling around him.
"Naruto-kun!" Tsume exclaimed as she went to him immediately. She saw the hole in his chest bleeding profusely. "What happened to him?"
"Those are Chidori wounds." Kakashi said knowingly before he was lifted off the ground by an angry woman.
"YOU TAUGHT THAT POWER HUNGRY BASTARD THE CHIDORI!" She yelled in a dark angry tone.
"I-I t-told h-him t-that i-it w-was t-to b-be u-used t-to p-protect." Kakashi stuttered.
"Yo Sasuke's scent isn't here anymore a third scent is apparent here too." Pakun told them.
"It is obvious that he isn't using it to protect others." Tsume spat at him as she dropped the scared man.
"We cannot heal him." A medic said. "Tsunade-sama will have to heal him." He added quickly.
"Kakashi you have to take him back to Konoha." Tsume ordered. "I don't like to admit it but I am not as fast as I used to be." She added. "You are the fastest and Naruto need immediate attention." She told him.
"Of course." Kakashi said as he pulled his forehead protector up revealing his Sharingan. The medics carefully placed Naruto onto Kakashi's back and Kakashi was gone the next instant.
"Tsume-sama what do you think will happen when Tsunade-sama sees Naruto?" a medic asked.
"The truth?" Tsume asked as the medic nodded. "I don't know." She whispered. "But it will not be pretty."
In Konoha
Tsunade was sitting at her desk doing paperwork when an Anbu appeared before her. "Tsunade-sama." The Anbu saluted the woman.
"What is it?" Tsunade demanded.
"Kakashi has just returned." He told her. "With a seriously injured Genin on his back." He added as Tsunade's heart started to drop.
"I am going to the hospital." Tsunade said as she stood. "Who is it?" she asked. 'Please tell me it is not Naruto.' She thought desperately.
"It is Naruto Uzumaki he has two fist size holes in his chest." He told her as Tsunade looked broken for a second.
"Go tell Hinata Hyugga that Naruto is in the hospital." Tsunade ordered as the Anbu nodded and quickly vanished.
Hospital
Several medics were force feeding Naruto plasma pills to replenish the blood he is losing. "How he is alive is beyond me." One medic said.
"You shouldn't say such things, Tsunade-sama might hear you." Another medic whispered.
"Hear what?" a feminine voice asked behind them. The two turned to see the buxom woman.
"No one ma'am!" the two exclaimed.
Tsunade pushed the two away and he hands started to glow green. 'She couldn't possibly heal those wounds.' The medics thought in unison but they noticed that she kept her hands over Naruto's heart and his wounds started to glow bright red and started to close. After fifteen minutes the wounds were completely closed. 'She did it.' They thought.
"Tsunade-sama more wounded are coming in." A medic said hurriedly. "Choji Akamichi and Neji Hyugga are in critical condition, Kiba Inuzuka is suffer from severe blood lose and Shikamaru Nara is suffering from a broken finger." He told them as two people were brought in.
"You get Shizune in here now!" She ordered as she pointed at a medic. "You three keep Neji alive." She ordered three of the medic's. "And you get me everything from the Akamichi Clan and Nara Clan on the Akamichi Pills." She ordered the last one. They all nodded and went to their jobs. Tsunade went to Choji's side and ran her hands over his body and knew that he his organs were starting to systematically shut down. Tsunade attempted to heal the damaged organs to give her a little more time to find a cure for the poison running through Choji's veins. A medic came to her with a couple of books.
"Tsunade-sama these are the books you requested." The medic said as he gave them to Tsunade.
'I gave myself a day before he gets worse again.' Tsunade thought as she grabbed the books and left the emergency room.
