Chapter 28 Ultimate clash: The Uchiha prodigy vs. The Super ninja
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto Masashi Kishimoto does and I don't own Dead or Alive Tecmo and Team Ninja owns it.
Naruto and Sakura enter to a café in downtown Tokyo they needed someone who can help them figure out the data the disc that Hayate found at Donovan's mansion, there was one person they knew who could help them with this problem. However they needed to be careful the information the disk may contain could be very classified and it could mean danger if it fell into the wrong hands, before meeting the person they call her to meet them at the café. They smile seeing Lisa with Tenchi seated on a table having a cup of coffee they knew they could count on her help since she used to work for DOATEC she knows all about the company plus she has the computer skills to figure the data on the disk after all they were ninjas not computer whiz.
"Hey Lisa" Sakura greeted her friend.
"Hey you guys"
"Nice to see you two" Tenchi said.
"We feel the same way too so Lisa about what we ask you?" Naruto said.
"Yes I know you want me to take a look at this disc and figure any data it possess"
"Yeah but are you sure this place is safe we might look into something pretty secretive?" Sakura said while looking around the café.
"Not to worry this café is very strict with privacy so you don't have to be alarmed about other people snooping around"
"And if someone does get the idea to look here they will have to get pass me" Tenchi said getting the role of bouncer.
Okay so Lisa check the disk" Naruto said while giving her the DOATEC disk.
"Right I'll crack this in no time"
She place the disk in her lap top drive and close the hatch waiting for the disc to run until a few seconds her screen got the initials of DOATEC and it was showing her name and password, the two ninjas sighed knowing that it wasn't going to be that easy to see the information on the disk.
"Great now what?" Naruto groan.
Lisa wink at him" Naruto who do you think I am?"
"Lisa is the best when it comes to hacking system this is a piece of cake to her" Tenchi said with a smile.
"Exactly this will be easy since this disc contains information about DOATEC it's quite obvious that the name of the user its Victor Donovan now comes the tricky part the password"
"It has to be something that Donovan likes or perhaps something about his family" Sakura said adding her two cents.
"Or maybe it's something about his favorite food" Naruto said in his usual cheery tone.
Sakura sweat dropped" in your case it will be ramen"
"No surprise there" the blond reply with his fox grin.
"Lisa?" Tenchi said worry seeing his girlfriend in deep thought about the password.
"It's all right Tenchi this isn't so hard I have worked with Donovan long enough to know the password"
"How about world domination he is a crazy guy?" Naruto said.
Lisa chuckle" that could be but it's too long to be a password knowing Donovan he would put something with eight characters or less and I think I got it" she started typing the password.
Naruto, Sakura and Tenchi were staring at the screen in high anticipation waiting to see the results of the password they smile seeing that on the screen appeared the words access granted.
"You did it Lisa" Naruto said.
"What was the password?" Sakura said.
"Well it has something to do with DOATEC vision of the world which was Fame Douglas dream it was a safe world for mankind" Lisa said.
"Hey wait a minute that password is too long you said that it was a word with eight characters or less?" Naruto said.
"That's not the password it was exactly a seven character word"
"Mankind" Sakura said.
"Precisely now let's find out what kind of data this disc has to offer us?" she said while tipping in her lap top.
In a couple of seconds they was a list of familiar names at least to Lisa she saw the list of DOATEC old projects like the Kasumi clones, the Epsilon project, project Genra, project Alpha and other past project that weren't successful in the past. Lisa didn't felt comfortable reading the list since she has participated in a couple of this experiments she also blames herself for helping a madman like Donovan achieve the success of the projects putting the safety of the world at great risk of danger. While looking at the list she spotted a file that was written the words top secret looks like she has found the latest results from DOATEC latest experiments, she click the folder file and gasp along with the rest.
"What's that?" Sakura said.
Lisa was unsure" I don't know project SOUND there's another one that says project OMEGA huh wait a minute there's one more that says project X this isn't good looks like Donovan has a lot on his mind"
"Did you say sound then that means Sakura-chan" Naruto said while his pink hair teammate nodded.
"Yeah it has something to do with Orochimaru that's for sure"
"This could mean serious trouble" Tenchi said worry.
"Yeah this is the first time Donovan is working on several projects he has always focus only on one but now looks like he's serious this time he has finally lost it"
"And with Orochimaru helping him it will be worst" Sakura said.
"Like I said before this year's tournament has become very interesting and dangerous" Lisa said.
Naruto and Sakura look at each other they knew when Orochimaru will make his move everything was at stake at the end of the tournament they will have to prepare themselves for the worst. Naruto was thinking about his match in the final round and Orochimaru too and right now he was looking forward to fight his opponent, it will all depend in the upcoming match between Sasuke and Ryu.
Lisa continued tipping in her lap top hoping to find more information on the new experiments and sighed" I can't find any more data on these projects this disc only contains the status and they say two projects have been successful while the third which is project X says that is still running"
"Looks like Donovan is working on that experiment as we speak" Tenchi said.
"Yes that's all this disc has I'm sorry Naruto Sakura there's nothing more useful in this disc"
"It's all right we appreciate that you took a look at it and not everything was hopeless we did found out that they are three projects involve in DOATEC right now that gives us enough clue to stop Donovan" Sakura said.
"Yeah even if we still don't know where DOATEC headquarters are" Naruto said.
"You know what I think I can find a way to locate the coordinates to DOACTEC headquarters by using this disc it has data from the company so it gives me the edge I need to hack it and somehow get the location" Lisa said.
"Really you can do that?" Naruto said.
"Yeah but it won't be easy this will take me a while but don't worry I will be doing this day and night if I have to"
"Thanks Lisa it means a lot to us that you're helping us" Sakura said.
"Not to worry I'm just glad to help you I want to stop Donovan too so make sure you tell Hayate that"
"We will" Naruto said.
"By the way where's your other friend?" Tenchi said noticing that there was one member missing.
"Oh Sasuke-kun" Sakura said while looking at Naruto who gave his fox grin.
"Where else he's preparing for his big match with Ryu"
Forest region
Sasuke has been running at top speed from the incoming attacker he saw a couple of kunais being thrown at him and he blocked them easily with Kusanagi, shurikens went straight at him and he dodges them doing a back flip. He suddenly saw Ayane next to him launching a kick but he block she counter with her double beam sword only for the Uchiha to block it with Kusanagi, the kunoichi used a low kick but Sasuke jump and he released a snake from his sleeve the snake wrap around her body and she was replace by a wooded log. The real Ayane was above him she quickly made a couple of hand seals releasing a flame jutsu from her mouth, the Uchiha grin as he vanish in a cloud of smoke shocking the kunoichi he used a clone. Sasuke threw a couple of shurikens only for Ayane to block them with her beam sword she counter with a couple of kunais which made contact with the Uchiha but he poof away in a cloud of smoke it was another clone, she didn't realize that a snake has wrap her body again while Sasuke went next to her sighing.
"Ayane what's wrong you're not putting much effort in our fight?"
"What's the point Sasuke we have spar so many times that you already know all of my moves were not getting nowhere like this"
"I need a good match and you're the only one who can give it to me" he said with a smirk.
Ayane blush at his comment since it had a double meaning while the Uchiha knew that explains why he was smirking she erase her blush while looking all serious, even if he was her boyfriend she needed to act like a true kunoichi.
"What about Naruto ask him to help you with your training?"
"Yeah I guess I could ask him to spar with me I always broke a sweat when I fight him but there's no fun in that and besides I want to spend time with you Ayane-chan" lean closer to the flush Ayane.
He was about to kiss her while she gladly accepted his lips and just when he was just a few inches from her lips he back off leaving the kunoichi hanging, when Ayane realize that he didn't kiss her she wasn't happy the fact that he did it just to tease her was making her very upset. She glare at him while he was smirking at her in satisfaction like he enjoy the tease although he needed to be careful making a kunoichi like Ayane angry can lead to severe consequences.
"Sasuke you will finish with the kiss you were about to give me or else" she finish the last word in a cold tone.
"Or else what?" he said still smirking.
"Or else you will face my wrath and believe me you don't want to see me when I'm in a bad mood trust me you will regret it"
"Oh sounds like a challenge yes this is the kind of attitude I need from you to give me a good fight about time so my answer will be…..no"
"Fine it's your funeral Uchiha" those were her last words before vanishing in a swirl of purple butterflies.
Sasuke grin (perfect a genjutsu glad to have you back Ayane what a way to motivate her)
He gasp as the real Ayane appear behind him she lean closer to his ear while he was trying to come up with a way to evade her incoming attack, however he was also blushing having the kunoichi so close to him he could smell her scent and it was amazing he could smell her forever. He erase his blush while growling in his mind he was having a sparring match not having make out thoughts and other thoughts in reaching the next level with her, she gave him a soft peek on his cheek while going back to his ear.
"Since you motivate me to give you a good fight let me show you a new trick my nature chakra is fire which makes me the best ninja when it comes to perform fire elemental ninjutsu so watch carefully my right hand"
Sasuke saw as Ayane show him her right hand and suddenly his onyx eyes grew wide in shock at what he was seeing on her right hand a small ball of purple fire has appeared he has never seen fire in such color aside the fact that he knew the black fire of Amaterasu. He was shock he could feel the power coming from the small ball of fire he could've sworn that the level of power was equal to the one of Amaterasu but that was impossible a fire the same as strong as the flames of the underworld. He finally focus on the fight and vanish while Ayane threw the ball of purple to one of the trees as soon as it made contact with tree it was burn down to ashes in seconds, Sasuke was shock it seems that this fire was as strong as Amaterasu he gaze at the lavender hair kunoichi who was smirking he knew Ayane was talented but after this she was probably one of the best kunoichi he has ever met.
"Ayane I already regret not kissing you"
"Too bad you had your chance and you let it go to waste" she said with a smirk.
"So I take your going to get serious with me now?"
"Bring it Sasuke-kun"
He grin (now I really regret not kissing her)
The two ninjas charge again continuing their fight while Sasuke was eagerly waiting for his match with Ryu.
Dragon's antique shop
Sakura was cleaning the shelves of the shop she was always cleaning the shop she didn't mind at all she truly enjoys working in Ryu's shop, she saw the super ninja in the weapons section carefully placing a couple of katanas in their rightful place. She gaze at him and there wasn't any fear in his emerald eyes even if he should be a little afraid after all he's facing her teammate Sasuke, in his past fights the Uchiha was holding back but now the tournament committee have given a new rule to use weapons and techniques in this match and in the upcoming final match. Sakura knew Sasuke well enough and he won't holding back on Ryu he will use all of his jutsus including the sharingan and chidori, she also knew that Ryu has also been holding back in his past matches with this rule the match was going to be one hell of a ninja fight. Without realizing Ryu was next to her looking at her looks like she was in deep thought about something he touch her shoulder to get her attention only to get a huge blush on the pink hair medic ninja.
"Sakura are you all right?"
"Huh oh yeah….I'm fine Ryu" she said still having the blush on her cheeks feeling his strong hand on her shoulder.
"Is there something on your mind if it's all right with you I don't mind if you tell me what's bothering you"
"No I guess I was so caught up in your match with Sasuke you know he's not an easy opponent"
"I know and I'm honored I'm fighting the last of the Uchiha clan I will be expecting a good fight"
She giggle" well of course I wasn't expecting you to get worry but word of advice Ryu please be careful with the sharingan Sasuke-kun's have develop his sharingan to a powerful level"
"Yes I have heard about the famous sharingan it's a powerful dojutsu said to create powerful genjutsu and copying the opponent's jutsu along with seeing his movements it's a very challenging blood line"
(Looks like he doesn't know about the magenkyuo sharingan should I tell him about it I don't know if Sasuke-kun would use it on the match but Ryu's no push over he's pretty strong Sasuke-kun might chose to use it on him if that happens I don't think Ryu will have a chance)
"Is something wrong Sakura you got quiet all of the sudden?" Ryu said getting worry.
She snap from her thinking to gaze at him with a smile" oh I'm fine Ryu anyway I wish you good luck on your match"
(Yeah and I'm going to be cheering for you GO RYU) inner Sakura said.
"I see thank you this is a match I am looking forward to fight"
"Anyway Ryu there's something I want to tell you it's about the sword you gave me"
"What about it?"
"I don't know how to say this maybe you won't believe me but ever since I got that sword there's something about it I don't know how to explain it but it's like I have seen it before like I know the sword pretty crazy huh?"
"I don't think its crazy maybe it's true maybe you have used the sword before and you don't remember when you did, you may have suffer from a case of amnesia"
"No that's not it I don't have amnesia I just have never seen this sword before….and yet I feel like the sword is very familiar to me I don't know why" she then saw Ryu giving her a smile" go ahead Ryu say it I'm crazy"
"No I don't think you're crazy you just need time to figure out what it means maybe you had a vision of yourself using the sword that's why you feel like you've seen it before perhaps you should search your memories for the answer"
"My memories….yeah thanks Ryu well I'll get back to clean the shelves" she went back to the shelves.
"Sakura"
She turned back to him" what is it?"
"After my match with Sasuke I will teach you how to fight with your sword"
She smiled at him feeling her cheeks blush" thanks Ryu I really appreciate it"
She went back to the shelves and continued her cleaning while thinking about Ryu told her (maybe Ryu is right maybe I have used the sword before and I don't remember I can feel like I know that sword from a long time it really is strange)
In the streets of Tokyo
Helena was having a walk thinking no matter how much she tries to run away she can't stop thinking about the past it always finds a way to haunt her, it has become a never ending nightmare everything that has happen to her there was no escaping it. After a while she was still struggling with the decision whether to take to reclaim DOATEC or whether to let it get destroy forever, why would she hesitate in making her mind the choice was simple she hates DOATEC therefore she wants the company to be gone forever. Why would she care for that company because of it her parents were murder by a madman who thinks he create life playing god, she hated Donovan and she hated so there was no reason to hesitate making such an obvious choice. At least he was dead so she can finally be at peace with herself the murder of her parents was dead but she still didn't wanted to get control of the wicked company.
She started thinking about what Felipe told her maybe she give a second chance and claim the company that her father created however her hatred for the company and Donovan was too deep to be erase by anything, she suddenly remember what Naruto told her a long time and she growl in her mind he didn't understood her pain he doesn't know nothing she has made her choice or did she. When she realize where she was walking she stop as she was in front of a building the sing read Tokyo children's hospital she didn't know why but she felt like entering the building, she open the door and walk the long halls. She took a couple of turn in the hospital before reaching the outside park of the hospital she saw different handicap children some were playing in the playground and some were being told a story from a book by one of the nurses. She spotted a boy in a wheelchair who seems to be around tennear a bench he had short brown hair and brown eyes she went to him and got seated on the bench, the boy look at her with curiosity before giving her a smile.
"Hello lady"
"Well hello and who might you be?" she said with a smile.
"My name is Hyo I'm a patient here at the hospital did you came here to visit somebody?"
"Oh no I was just passing by and decided to come here nothing in particular"
"I see even so it's nice that you came to visit I wish my parents would visit me too"
Helena gaze at him with a worry look" what's wrong why are your parents not coming to visit you?"
"Don't get me wrong mom and dad would visit me if they were here…..you see they died on a car accident a year ago" he said in a soft tone.
Helena felt terrible hearing that she was meeting someone else who became lonely without the love of his parents.
"I'm really sorry to hear that Hyo"
"It's okay these things happen even if my parents are no longer here I want to continue living I had this dream of becoming a doctor but…..it won't come true"
"Why is that?" she said looking at him with concern.
"Because I don't have much time I got cancer"
Helena felt horrible hearing this how ironic to meet a young boy who had the same disease that took away her grandfather however Hyo gave her a smile.
"Hey don't get so down lady I'll be fine even if I don't have much time I want to enjoy my life to the fullest I want to have fun and play so I don't let my sickness bother me at all"
Helena felt the tears falling from her eyes to think such a person was ready to face death at such a young age and after losing both of his parents and he could still have a smile on his face. She remember how tragic her life turn when her parents were murder but still she was old enough to take care of herself but Hyo was too young to be left alone.
"Tell me Hyo how old are you?"
"I'm nine hopefully I'll be ten next year" Hyo said while smiling.
"Hopefully…." She said in a whisper.
"Yeah but like I said I want to be live what's rest of my life happy and enjoying it to the last, you know now that I think about it you look familiar I have seen you before in the television"
"Well I guess you have my name is Helena"
Hyo smile" it's you I saw you in the Dead or Alive tournament that means…. do you know Naruto?"
She was surprise to hear this mentioning the name of the blond" Naruto….I know who he is why do you want to know?"
Hyo was happier" I knew it you know him he's my favorite fighter I'm his biggest fan I saw his fight against Hayate he was awesome and that attack he made the blue ball in his hand was so cool, I don't know but every time I see him fight I feel happy and I feel more confident in myself like I do almost anything he makes things that look impossible possible. I hear what he said about never sacrificing his friends I was happy to hear that he has a high loyalty to his friends I guess in the past he must have been very alone to think like that, but I don't feel alone I have my friends from the hospital so I'm happy"
Helena was drying the tears that kept on falling she has met someone so brave who was ready to die without any regrets however look at her sadly.
"Hey Helena please don't cry I'll be fine don't worry about me"
Helena got up from the bench while she dried the last of her tears she look at the young boy with a sweet smile" Hyo thank you I'm really grateful to have met you"
"I don't know why are you thanking me but could you do something for me Helena?"
"Sure what is it?"
He blush a little feeling embarrassed" could you…..tell Naruto to come here and visit us if it's not too much to ask?"
She smiled she knew how good and noble the blond teen is he won't mind visiting them" okay I'll ask him but you will have to wait after the tournament you do know that he's going to be fighting in the final round"
"Of course I know everyone is talking about today's match and the final match I want to see Naruto fight HEY EVERYONE GUESS WHAT NARUTO IS COMING HERE AFTER THE TOURNAMENT ENDS"
The rest of the children heard that and they started cheering while Helena smile at least the hospital will become a happier environment.
"Thank you for visiting Helena" Hyo said.
"No Hyo thank you I will never forget this well I better get going I'll see you later"
"Bye Helena" Hyo said while waving goodbye.
Helena the park and went back to hospital while walking she started remembering the past what her father told her about DOATEC and his reason for creating the company.
(Of course it's only the most advance technology that exist in the world and it's all for the purpose to the well fare of mankind you know Helena you inspire me to built DOATEC seven years ago you told me that you wish that there was a way to cure all diseases well this is the answer to your wish)
She also remembesr Naruto's words for a while back.
(You're being selfish getting rid of the company that your father built is a selfish act I understand that you're upset for the loss of your parents because Donovan wanted ownership of the company but that doesn't mean you have to close it down Sakura-chan is right with the technology of the company you can find the cure for all the diseases in this world think about your father he wanted you to be the owner of the company so you should continue with his work his vision of the world but by choosing to close it down you're turning your back on your own father. Helena-san you can't threw away a big chance like the company your father gave you remember it was you the one who inspire him to built it for the betterment of mankind)
She let a couple of tears fall from her face before giving a true smile she spotted one of the nurses in the halls.
"Excuse me?"
"Yes can I help you?"
Helena opened her purse and took her check book writing something on a check she rip it from her book" is the doctor in charge of this hospital available?"
"No he's not here yet why do you ask?"
"I will like to make a donation please make sure he gets this check good day" she handed the check to the nurse while leaving.
The nurse took a look at the check and her eyes turn to the size of saucers seeing the amount of money.
(My goodness three million dollars it says Helena Douglas….wait she's Helena Douglas)
Helena left the hospital with a big smile she has never felt so happy or so alive for the matter, she was grateful for her life she have many friends and now she had a boyfriend that love her very much. The best part of all she knew know what to do Naruto's words were still in her head but this time she wasn't bother by his words she felt like she owe a big debt of gratitude for the blond.
(I finally made my choice this time I will set things right once and for all)
Later at the DOA dome
The dome was sold out every seat was taken the crowd was over excited who wouldn't when they were about to witness one of the best matches in the entire tournament, they were also a lot of children expecting to see their favorite fighter fight and win either was Ryu or Sasuke. Naruto, Sakura, Kasumi, Tina, Ayane and Hayate were in the first row in another row was Jan Lee, Lei Fang, Eliot, Kokoro and Hitomi they were all present and looking forward for the big match. In the middle of the dome was a large cage made from iron bars it seems the fight was going to be in lockdown they won't be able to escape, Naruto smile seeing the large scale knowing the Uchiha he will love the idea of being lockdown with his opponent especially if it is the super ninja. While Naruto was looking at the cage as always he was completely clueless that Tina and Kasumi were glaring at each other to be with the blond, Kasumi was seated next to him on the right while Tine was seated to the left side. The crowd cheered as they saw Sasuke and Ryun entering the cage while one of the security guards close the entrance to the cage.
"GO RY…..I MEAN SASUKE-KUN" Sakura cheer while the rest of the group sweat dropped .
"Sakura-chan you're not fooling anyone you're obviously cheering for Ryu" Naruto said.
The pink hair kunoichi blush in embarrassment while she continue to cheered for the Uchiha.
(GO RYU BABY) inner Sakura said.
"This is a match Ryu is looking forward to" Hayate said.
"He's not the only one Sasuke feels the same way too" Naruto said.
"Yeah but he's in way over his head I don't think he can win" Ayane said softly.
(Naruto I want to fight you in the final round) Naruto thought remembering Sasuke's words.
(Sasuke will win)
"This fight will be quite long they're both strong its anyone's guess who will win" Tina said.
"Hayabusa has never lost a fight" Kasumi said.
"That's right of all the times Ryu have participated in the tournament he has been undefeated" Hayate said.
Naruto stood quiet while watching the ring (come on Sasuke you said you wanted to fight me in the final match then defeat Ryu)
The announcer finally arrived while looking at the cage and the two fighters facing each other eager to begin their fight, he took the microphone facing the wild crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages and everyone watching us all around the world welcome to this special match in the Dead or Alive five tournament this fight will determined who will face Naruto in the final round remember this will be a no holds barred match so they're allowed to use their weapons and techniques at their disposal"
"You hear that Ryu that means you can go all out on me so you better use that sword of yours" Sasuke said with a smirk.
"Uchiha Sasuke I will fight you with everything I have however let's make this fight an honorable one like two opponents who respect each other"
"That's fine with me"
(Come on Sasuke win) Naruto thought.
"It's time to begin the match" the announcer said.
"I've been waiting for this fight for a while Ryu"
"This will be an honorable fight between proud warriors"
Get ready…..FIGHT
Sasuke vanish and charge at Ryu he unsheathed Kusanagi with a powerful swing Ryu manage to dodge the attack but he was impressed at the speed of the Uchiha. Sasuke vanish again striking with Kusanagi but the super ninja dodge it again, Sasuke continued to strike with Kusanagi while Ryu kept on dodging them. Now Sasuke was getting annoyed the fact that this fight was not meant to hold back and yet here he was trying to hold back on him like he was too strong to unleash his true potential on him, Sasuke was surprise as Ryu charge at him at the same speed launching a fist on him but he block it with Kusanagi. His eyes widened as Ryu vanish in a blink of an eye and use a kick hitting him but he vanished and was replaced by a wooden log. He has used a substitution jutsu for a second he let his guard down and that's all Sasuke needed to strike he appear behind him he strike with Kusanagi Ryu reacted quickly and finally unsheathed the dragon sword clashing with the Uchiha's sword, he grin seeing him taking his sword he was hoping that he got his attention to take him seriously. Ryu charge at him with the dragon sword and he block it with Kusanagi clashing their blades once again they started attacking with their weapons, the crowd was watching in awe at their speed and strength it's like they were in the same level for now.
"Sasuke should have taken his weights off before the fight started" Naruto said.
"Actually Naruto he doesn't have his weights on" Sakura said.
The blond was surprise and went back to watch the fight (so he's really fighting with everything he has and even with his speed Ryu can keep up with him)
Ryu has charge again with his sword while Sasuke block and counter he needed a new plan Ryu could keep up with him in a sword fight he tighten his hold on Kusanagi and use his chidori on the blade, he needed to destroy Ryu's sword and to have the advantage in the fight. He charge with the chidori Kusanagi and clash with Ryu's dragon sword only to be shock their swords crashing and his blade was still standing what was happening he has chidori on his sword that's all he needed to destroy Ryu's blade. He growl and he continued to clash swords with the super ninja he was going to try something else he made a quick hand seal creating a shadow clone to ambush him, however Ryu saw the shadow clone charging at him with Kusanagi but he immediately destroy the clone. He kept his guard up the shadow clone was a distraction to lower his guard he look at every direction in the cage and there was no sing, his eyes widened as he look up and saw the real Sasuke performing a couple of hand seals.
"FIRE STYLE DRAGON FLAME JUTSU"
Sasuke release a powerful fire wave from his mouth hitting the entire cage the crowd was shock seeing the fire attack, he was looking for Ryu who was nowhere to be found he grin it wasn't over it was just the beginning. Ryu appear next to him shocking him and kick him on his face he continued with another kick but as soon as it made contact with the Uchiha he vanish and replace by a couple of snakes charging at him which he immediately kill them with his sword. Ryu's body was capture by a snake Sasuke appear behind him with Kusanagi raise in the air, suddenly Ryu vanish and was replace by a wooden jutsu Sasuke knew he was going to use a substitution to escape. He looked at the cage and didn't saw him he quickly look above him and saw Ryu making hand seals he did the same thing he used against the super ninja.
"NINJA ART WIND BLADES JUTSU"
Ryu released several gust of wind at the Uchiha while he made he perform the same hand seals.
"FIRE STYLE DRAGON FLAME JUTSU"
The fire collided with the wind causing an explosion while the crowd was still shock at the sight it was really fight between strong opponents. When the smoke was clear Sasuke was still standing the same with Ryu he grin in amusement this is exactly how he thought the match was going to be long and tough.
"That was a careless move for a ninja like you Sasuke" Ryu said.
The Uchiha smirk" hey it work didn't it and besides were still standing anyway I must say that was a good warm up don't you agree?"
Ayane's eyes widened" he's kidding right he wasn't really fighting with everything he has?"
"I thought Sasuke wanted to play show off trying to beat Ryu without his sharingan looks like I was wrong" Naruto said with a smirk.
"It seems that the real fight is going to begin" Hayate said.
(Ryu be careful) Sakura thought.
Sasuke grin" Ryu I'm going to show you what is like to fight an Uchiha" suddenly his onyx eyes turn red with three tomoe's on the pupil the form of the sharingan.
(So this is the sharingan the blood line dojutsu of the Uchiha clan) Ryu thought.
Sasuke vanish and charge with Kusanagi but Ryu block it with his dragon sword a snake was wrap around his neck making him unable to breath he saw another Sasuke holding the snake, Sasuke pointed Kusanagi to his neck.
"Say it Ryu give up I didn't came here to kill you"
"Sasuke you're being overconfident that could lead to your defeat" he then vanish in a swirl of leaves shocking the Uchiha.
(Impossible I cast a genjutsu and he countered with another)
Ryu charge at him with his sword behind him but Sasuke block it with Kusanagi like he knew where he was going to be, he launch a low kick and the Uchiha jump he counter with a kick hitting him he then punch him sending him to the ground. Ryu got back to his feet he saw Sasuke charging again he block his sword attack, as they crossed swords once again the Uchiha grin it was a grin that said I have you right where I want you. Suddenly his whole body was cover by lighting hitting the super ninja he smirk at the sight it was over once he got hit with his one thousand birds technique he's paralyze and unable to move. Suddenly he vanished and replace by a wooden log his eyes widened the real Ryu was behind him and use another jutsu the inferno jutsu but he vanish from sight, Ryu gasp seeing that he was surrounded by a lot of Sasuke everywhere.
(This is another genjutsu I have to break from it) Ryu thought.
He made a hand seal but he his arms were caught by two snakes he saw the rest of the Sasuke's were forming hand seals they were all going to use a jutsu on him, he sue his great strength to break free from the snakes and break free from the genjustsu. Sasuke use his dragon flame jutsu again and Ryu dodge it with his speed he charge at the Uchiha kicking him upward he vanish in a swirl of leaves he appear behind him grabbing him, the crowd started cheering it was time for the Izuna drop. Just then Sasuke vanish and Ryu landed safely on the ground looking at every direction this was another trick to catch him off guard until everything turn black no doubt this was another genjutsu, he was now surrounded by a sworn of snakes they were everywhere. Ryu was going to break from the genjutsu when he stop he couldn't move a muscle he didn't know why until he gaze at the eyes of the snakes and they all had the sharingan, he could feel it this genjutsu was stronger than the previous ones he cast before.
(The power of the sharingan is really impressive not just he could keep up with me with it but he can cast powerful genjutsu like this one I have to do something) he thought while remembering Sakura's words.
(Please be careful with the sharingan Sasuke-kun's have develop it to a powerful level)
Ryu struggle to break free but the snakes hold were too tight he saw Sasuke heading his way holding Kusanagi looks like he was finally at the mercy of the Uchiha.
"This is it Ryu you can't break free from this genjutsu now I suggest you give up while you still have the chance"
"Sasuke it seems you have forgotten a very important rule when fighting an opponent never underestimated your opponent no matter how strong or weak he or she may look"
Sasuke was shock suddenly his genjutsu vanish they were back in the arena and Ryu was gone he was caught off guard as he was punch and kick by the super ninja he landed on his feet and he quickly perform hand seals.
"FIRE STYLE GRAND FIRE BALL JUTSU"
Sasuke shot a large fire ball from his mouth but Ryu dodge it with his fast speed it hit the iron cage, the jutsu was so strong that it melted the bars creating a big hole on the cage. Sasuke used his chidori on Kusanagi and charge at him but he blocked his attack with his dragon sword they clash swords over and over again hoping he could break his sword. Ryu manage to kick him but he vanish he gasp it was another genjutsu in the last second the real Sasuke charge at him with lighting blast form on his right hand he charge it great speed, Ryu saw the charging Uchiha with the lighting attack he prepare to block it with his sword.
"CHIDORI"
The chidori hit the dragon sword the force was so great that send the mighty sword on the other side of the cage he smirk at least he got rid of his weapon, Ryu counter by hitting Kusanagi sending the blade away from him looks like it was an even match now. Sasuke release a couple of snakes from his sleeve but the super ninja made hand seals.
"NINJA ART PHOENIX JUTSU"
Suddenly Ryu was surrounded by three small phoenix forming a shield the snakes hit the shield and they were burn to a crisp, Sasuke growl he needed to plan something else to stop him with the phoenix shield on he couldn't get close to him. Ryu charge at him while the Uchiha took a step back and now the fight turn into a cat and mouse game while Sasuke was running from the super ninja. The crowd was cheering loudly they have never witness such an intense fight while Hayate and Ayane were in awe at the
Uchiha's strength while Naruto was just watching normally knowing how strong his friend has become. Sasuke saw that Ryu's phoenix jutsu was gone he panted he could feel it he was almost out of chakra using all those genjutsus and the chidori really took him a lot of chakra while, Ryu was still standing and he didn't look like he was tire at all.
(Damn I'm almost out of chakra and he still has a lot of chakra this guy is the real deal he really is the super ninja using the Magenkyou sharingan would be suicide since it takes a lot of chakra if this keeps up I will lose I have to make the most of it and beat him now)
Ryu charge at him with a punch and he block it he kick his chin and launch a fist which the super ninja block it, Sasuke use an upward kick and send Ryu flying this was his chance to end the match he jump and kick him only for Ryu to vanish and replace by a wooden log. Ryu appear behind him and grab him he was finishing him with the Izuna drop he spin him sending the Uchiha into the ground, the crowd gasp while others were cheering but Naruto was shock the most he couldn't believe it did Sasuke lost. Since the match started Jan Lee was in awe he couldn't believe that Sasuke was holding so much strength inside of him and he wasn't the only one but Kokoro, Hitomi, Lei Fang, and Eliot were in awe at the performance of the Uchiha.
(So I was right Uchiha Sasuke I never stood a chance against you) Jan Lee thought.
(You've fought an honorable fight Sasuke but it's over Ryu has won) Hayate thought.
(Sasuke you jerk you were amazing I don't care if you lose you're still someone precious to me I still love you) Ayane thought with a smile.
(YEAH RYU HAS WON I KNEW IT) inner Sakura cheer.
(No Sasuke damn it come on get up) Naruto thought.
The announcer along with the crowd were waiting to see the result of the match until the smoke clear out Ryu was standing and Sasuke was on the ground, the announcer was about to call Ryu the winner until Ryu gasp seeing that the body of the Uchiha has vanish and was replace by a couple of snakes. Suddenly he was kick upward by Sasuke surprising him he kick him three times using his lion combo and just he was about to finish it with the fourth kick he caught a glimpse in the crowd and his eyes widened in pure shock. His sharingan eyes show hatred at he was looking at him from the top row of the arena, the snake sanin Orochimaru he had a slight grin on his face, by now Ryu has recover from his assault and landed safely on the ground. Sasuke landed on the ground and he was giving one hateful glare at the sanin looking at him before he left the cage from the hole he created with his grand fire ball jutsu and went after him.
"Hey where do you think you're going if you leave the match you will be disqualified" the announcer said.
Sakura, Naruto, Kasumi, Ayane and Hayate follow the angry Uchiha.
"Since Sasuke has left the match that means he's disqualified and Hayabusa wins by default which means the final round of the tournament will be Naruto vs. Hayabusa"
The ninjas reach Sasuke outside of the arena who didn't look happy one bit.
"Sasuke-kun what's wrong why did you leave the match like that?" Sakura said worry.
"I saw him I saw Orochimaru he was here"
The group gasp
"Are you sure it was him?" Ayane said.
"Yeah it was him damn I can't believe he got away"
Suddenly Naruto grab him by his collar.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Damn Sasuke you got yourself disqualified from the tournament you lost we were suppose to fight me in the final round"
"Have you forgotten our mission we came here to stop DOATEC and Orochimaru"
"He's right Naruto we have to focus on the mission first" Sakura said.
Naruto pouted but he remain calm down while Sasuke was about to collapse and Ayane caught him in time.
Easy you're tire and hurt"
"Yeah I'm feeling better already" he said with a smirk while Ayane smirk too.
"Let me heal you Sasuke-kun" Sakura said as she started using her green chakra to heal him.
"You know Sasuke I really wanted to fight you at the final round" Naruto said not sounding happy.
"Well sorry to disappoint you but its better this way I mean you're facing Ryu at the final round and take it from me he's very strong I mean he broke my genjutsu with sheer will alone so good luck because you're going to need it"
"Oh come on Sasuke enough you're making me nervous he can't be that tough right?" he saw that Sasuke, Sakura and Ayane were quiet he then look at Hayate and Kasumi" right?"
The siblings look at each other before looking back at him.
"Naruto-san I think you can beat him" Kasumi said sounding unsure.
"Just fight with everything you had" Hayate said.
Naruto sighed" fine if you guys think like that"
"I'm going back inside to treat Ryu's injuries" Sakura said while entering back to the arena.
(I'm fighting Ryu in the final round I already got this far so I'm not backing out I will win)
