Nine Tailed Mutant Legend

CHP 46: A Little Extra Help

Naruto and the others stand close to one another looking out in all directions, trying to figure out how they should go about attacking the enemy which is quickly surrounding them. Leonardo and Raphael both pull out their weapons along with Michelangelo. The three turtles ready themselves along with everyone else. Mikey takes a step forward swinging a nun chuck around as a way of trying to get warmed up.

"What are we all just standing around for, let's take these creeps out. I bet I'll take most of them down! Does anybody wish to make a small wager with me? I'm totally up for it if there is." Mikey says.

"Shut the hell up you stupid amphibian!"

Michelangelo looks over at the enemy responsible for the choice of words mentally deciding that he'd go after that person first and foremost before anyone else. It doesn't take long before everything sets in and the knights surround them pulling out their different choices of weapons.

"What are we waiting for guys?! Let's take these bastards down! Multi shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto shouts.

The Leaf village ninja creates over thirty clones of himself. His clones pair up in teams of two creating Rasenguns. Batman follows three of the clones along with Leonardo as they run out to the right engaging the invaders who stand in that area. Raphael spins his Sais running forward and stabbing at one of them but gets his attempt blocked.

"How is the blond kid able to perform that jutsu. I thought we made it so that the people in this village would have their chokra usage disabled for the next twenty eight days, until the next round of our treatment." One of them speaks.

"That's a good question, but I have no idea either. But that kid looks a lot like the jinchuriki of the leaf. But that couldn't be him; word was that he had been captured."

A few of Naruto's clones are destroyed during all of the commotion. The original himself connects with his Rasengun in the chest of a knight who tries to attack him from behind.

"I can clarify some of your questions and concerns. I am the Naruto Uzumaki, A.K.A the carrier of the nine tailed beast. That power inside of me will never belong to you people and your king. I'll do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen even if it kills me!" Naruto yells.

He quickly begins constructing another Rasengun and runs toward the one who he believes to be in charge! Leonardo follows him step for step giving him cover by taking down the other enemies who try and engage Naruto. Leonardo slashes and cuts at them using his katana blades. Batman jumps over one of them who swings a metal staff at him.

"You've got great awareness and maneuvering ability. It's a shame someone of your talent must go to waste like this. I must say I'm not a fan of the bat look."

The knight again swings at Batman, who this time grabs hold of and pulls the weapon out of the enemy's grasp. He uses the weapon knocking his opponent over and onto the ground. Leonardo engages in a sword battle with four of them who surround and begin trying to attack him from all directions. In doing so there is no cover for Naruto who gets knocked over just as he was about to reach his target.

"This is going to be one tough fight for us to win. Perhaps retreat is the smartest way for us to go about this. Things are too far stacked in their favor." Kakashi says to everyone.

Raphael jumps over one of the attackers kicking him in the back of the head and knocking him to the ground.

"Sorry to say pal, but running just isn't my style. If the rest of you want to do so, then go right ahead and do so. I'll stay here and continue to fight them off." Raphael says.

"Yeah Raphael is right Kakashi sensei," Naruto stands dusting himself off, "There is no way we can loose to these chumps! I refuse to retreat to the likes of them; besides this battle has only just begun! Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

This time Naruto creates over one hundred fifty shadow clones which all surround the area. While still fighting off his two opponents Raphael smirks loving the warrior spirit which comes from Naruto. Uzumaki and his clones waste no time in attacking the invaders which surround their group. Like in all of his battles several of his clones are taken down immediately. He doesn't pay much attention to it, just continuing to fight.

"That's one heck of a technique, I don't think it will ever get old seeing it," Mikey dodges a blade which is swong at him, "Man you sure are something else Naruto, you're kind of like I comic book hero."

"Wow you really think so Mikey?" Naruto asks with excitement.

Naruto pays for taking his eyes off the enemy and looking over at Naruto. He is punched in the face and tumbles on the ground a few times over before catching his balance and standing upright. He shakes himself off and begins fighting against them again.

"Remember not to take your eyes off of your opponent Naruto." Leonardo says cutting into the armor of one of them.

"Yeah yeah I know, no need to remind me of something as simple as that," While in stride Naruto creates two more shadow clones, "That is these guys only chance of beating us. It'll be by our own mistakes!"

One of them comes from the back side of Naruto swinging a huge samurai sword at him, but the ninja slides and flips out of the way. Two of Naruto's clones come from behind and connect with a Rasengun to the ribs of the enemy. Batman throws out several electric batarangs connecting with all of his targets. He follows up with taking all of them down. He then runs over next to Kakashi.

"I must say you and the three turtles have been pretty impressive as far as fighting ability is concerned. But even you should know we need to retreat."

"If I heard correctly your name is Kakashi, and I'm going to have to agree with Naruto. This is a winnable fight…trust me."

Batman throws down two of his smoke bombs and both he and Kakashi take advantage in taking down as many of them in the surrounding area as they can. Naruto runs forward jumping over the shell of Raphael kicking into one of the knights and stabbing one of his shurikens into another of them that comes by.

"Thanks for the aid Raphael."

"No problem kid."

Raphael gives Naruto a thumbs up, running out and finding someone else to fight against. The group of six stay hard at work and in the end are victorious after a battle that dragged another fifteen minutes. Naruto falls to his knees with the remainder of his clones disappearing in a large cloud of smoke one after another. Michelangelo squeezes at his arm feeling a bit soreness from the battle but at the same time is happy that they won. That reality helps him to ignore the small amount of pain.

"Now that's what you call taking care of business. I won't lie; those guys gave us a scare for a few seconds there. I think we all knew we'd win in the end though, well almost all of us anyway." Mikey says looking at Kakashi.

There is a big pause with a moment of silence but then out of nowhere all of them share a big group laugh except for Batman. Raphael lets it be known that they need to get a move on and head back to the checkpoint where everyone else awaits them. The group agrees with him and begin their way back, but know that they'll have to move with even more caution then before. Before they're able to really get going a huge light of energy forms in front of Batman! All of them get ready pulling out their weapons preparing for the worst. The light eventually dies down and standing before them is a woman. All of them except Kakashi lower their guard.

"Ah hey Kayla what are you doing here?!" Naruto asks.

He runs ahead of them all wrapping his arms around her embracing in a hug. Kakashi scratches at the back of his hair getting the vibe Naruto and the others around him have already crossed paths with Kayla.

"Naruto give her some space so that she can talk. I'm sure there is a really good reason why she has come back to us so soon." Batman says.

Naruto smiles letting go of her and stepping back, she runs a hand through his hair giving him a smile as well.

"Well it looks like you guys got really busy here," Kayla looks around at all the defeated foes, throwing her hair back, "Anyway I guess I'll get right to the point. I hate to say it but a few of your teammates were captured because of me. The lineup is Spiderman, Zatanna, Kung Lao, and Liu Kang. As far as they're concerned they probably see me as one of the enemies. Right now none of that matters. What we need to do is return back to the world you were all previously just in."

"Wait what do you mean by they were captured because of you?" Michelangelo asks.

Everyone looks at her really wanting to know the answer to the question. She closes her eyes and lowers her head without saying a word. Naruto starts to become worried and gulps accidently swallowing some of the air around him. Kayla raises her head opening her eyes and looking at all of them.

"I'm the one who told Azun where they were hiding out. A group of his best soldiers then waited and ambushed them in the morning. As for the others I didn't mention they must have gotten away or weren't present when this took place."

"Why? Why did you do it Kayla?" Naruto asks remaining calm.

She walks forward placing a hand over the shoulder of Naruto.

"Well I guess you could say Azun started getting suspicious of me, so in order to keep our alliance from being discovered I turned a bad situation into a good one. I informed him that I was on a personal mission and found the hideout of where the enemy was lurking. It put me back under the radar and also helped me gain Azun's trust even further. I can assure you we'll get them back." She says removing her hand from Naruto.

"Sas…Sasuke, what about him? Do you know where he is?" Naruto asks.

She shakes her head informing that she has no knowledge of Uchiha's whereabouts. Kakashi stands off to the side becoming even more confused than he was before. By what she's says Sasuke is in this other world she speaks of. He knows now that there are a lot of questions that he needs to ask. Kayla then goes into detail of the latest development with Azun and a lot of his top warriors returning back to his home world. She shares with them that now would be the perfect opportunity to return to the home world of Liu Kang and the other MK fighters and defeat the ones Azun has left behind and start bringing back order.

"Unfortunately that's not an option right now. We need to bring stability back to this Leaf village and others outside of it." Naruto says.

Kayla can tell by looking at everyone else that they agree one hundred percent with Naruto.

"Well I guess I'll help all of you than. I know the strengths and weakness of all Azun's top generals that he's distributed throughout all the lands we currently are on track for conquering. Sound good to you guys, because I won't take no for an answer."

"Sounds good to me," Raphael cracks his knuckles, "I'm sure everyone else shares my enthusiasm."

"Good…so where to first?" She asks.

Batman reaches into his utility belt and pulls out his tracking device. He shows her exactly where all of them will be heading for.

"Ok let's get moving, we'll have your Leaf village back to normal in no time Naruto. I can promise you that." Kayla assures.

Batman leads the way with everyone following close behind. Both Raphael and Naruto are especially grateful that she showed up. With her knowledge of the enemies they're up against it'll help their chances greatly.
