X779, July 15
[2 weeks later]
The sun rays over the mountain hit town below it, peoples coming out on street, some going off to work, kids running around playing with other children, elderly and young going for morning jog and chatting on street while some people were opening their shops and stores.
A man with moderate built, was wearing black and blue stripe shirt was and blue pants, wearing over them a white apron and hat over his shiny bald head, picked up newspaper pull opened the shelter of the grocery store and took a sit inside it.
"Damn! Them again on front page" he clicked his tongue.
"HADES LAIR STIKES AGAIN"
"IT'S BEEN ONLY A WEEK AFTER THEIR LAST ATTACK THE DARK KNOWN AS HADES LAIR BRING DOWN THEIR INCURSIONS ON CLOVER TOWN IN SEVEN WHICH, RECENTLY THIS HAS BEEN THEIR 7TH LARGEST ATTACK THIS YEARS, JUST LIKE THEIR PREVIOUS ATTACKS. THEY KILLED ALL THE FOLKS WITHOUT MAGIC, AND THOSE WITH MAGIC POTENCY ARE SPARED AND TAKEN AS SLAVE WHILE KIDS ARE CAPTURE WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION OF MAGIC POTENCY, FOR GOD KNOWS WHAT! IT HAS BEEN SPECTULATED THAT THERE ARE TAKEN TO BE BRAINWASHED AND BECOME THEIR SOLDIERS! THEIR HAS BEEN SIGHTING OF THEIR INCREASING ACTIVITY AROUND THE BORDER OF FIORE! HADES LAIR WAS FORMED 4 YEARS AGO IN YEAR X774 SINCE THEN DUE TO THEIR RISE IN TERROR AND BECAUSE OF MAGIC COUNCIL INABILITY TO STOP THEM, THEY HAVE GARNISHED THEMSELVES MASS FOLLOWING RIVALINGING THAT OF BALLAM ALLIANCE, CURRENTLY NOT A SINGLE GUILD IS ABLE TO TAKE STAND UPTO THEM. FOR MORE PAGE 3!"
Below the article was insignia of skull screaming in mad rage with fire coming out of mouth.
"Damn those cunt, what do they get by terrorizing innocent people and kidnapping their kids. These peoples makes me sick and they are so close to us too" he angrily spat "did you hear that kid?, don't go wandering on your own again, these cults bastards are apparently kidnapping kids near our town".
"Huh what was that? Naruto peek behind bunch of crates he was carrying one over another. "sorry! I didn't listen" he replied while putting down the crates he was carrying.
"I'm saying don't go wandering outside town alone for a while there are cult followers roaming around our borders, they kidnap kids and no one knows what do to them, alright?" he said with stern scowl.
Raising his eyebrow blonde shinobi reassure the man "Don't worry about old man Oliver I'm strong! I can take care of myself".
"No! You don't understand brat these guys are really powerful! Even those uppity bastard at magic council is unable to do anything about them". He bend toward shorter blond almost and glare at him "you might be strong kid and even might be able to beat some of them but you can't do anything when they outnumbered you and I have even heard that one of their member was a member of former wizard saint, compared to that kid, you are a little fox in front of dragon plus their master is said to be even stronger than their members." He put both his hand to the side of blonde and grind his brain "and how many times do I have to tell you I'm not old man, dammit! I'm 23, get that through your thick skull, brat"
Freeing himself from his iron grip "don't lie to me old man! Who the hell go bald at 23" he said annoyingly, beating his chest he exclaimed proudly "beside even if they come in numbers I'm one man army!" he looked at the man "I have find one of these guild that you were talking about, to find out how the fuck did I get here?!"
After Naruto found himself on that mountain where he had fateful encounter with the black dragon, it took him 2 days before he found this town. After having quick meal at Oliver place he found himself in predicament when he was told his money has no meaning on their country and no one would do any kind of business with him, Oliver assuming him to be foreigner from other continent offered him to stay at his place and work for him to earn some money for himself.
Gritting his teeth, he headbutte Naruto "baldness happens to some younger people too, and it's not that uncommon" he rubbed his head in pain 'his head is made of stone' he thought "Look here brat, I said I'm not allowing you to leave for time being, if I let you go and something happens with you it would be on my conscious." He sigh. Quietly speaking he continued "you know I had siblings, a brother and our big sis, both older than me and both were part of a powerful guild, 4 years ago their guild went up and picked the fight with that damned guild, they were first victim, everyone on their guild was slaughter by only one of their captain named butch ." Old man look at him with concern
Naruto looked up at usually load and stern man who had giving him shelter few days ago when he had no place to go and for the first time seeing him talking so inaudibly was uncanny.
"I understand what you saying but I still have to find my way back home" he knew better than to push the topic further with old man. "I promise I will take care of myself". Motioning behind him he said "Beside I got tons of these with me"
"Boss!"2x
Oliver turn around to see 2 copies of blonde were carrying grocery, meat and vegetable in their hand making their way towards him.
"Even if that's the case I'm not paying you for job until magic council send someone for the protection of town. Until then you're struck working your ass off here" old man smirk at blonde.

"2 plate of dried shrimp and 2 mugs of beer coming right up!"
"Here nii-san take our order"
"Hai coming right up"
"Bring the bill please!"
"Coming"
"Naruto no.7 clean the table, and don't make me tell you again"
Since he start working at the Oliver restaurant the place has been busting with people, it's not Everyday that they get to see so many identical sibling
"Papa are they twins or something?"
"I don't know maybe there are octuplets or something"
"Octopus?"
"No not octopus, octuplets o-c-t-u-p-l-e-t-s, meaning many birth of same face like child at the same time" one of the adult who came with his daughter explained it to him as easily as he could
Child mouth open and closed in gap before she could question further he was interrupted by smiling blonde waiter "excuse me sir would you like to order some food"
"Oh-h yeah um give me one serving of curry and what would you like mina?" he asked mina.
"Hamburger!" she exclaimed happily.
"Okay one serving of curry and hamburger! Would you something to go along with that?" asked blonde
Raising her hand Mina exclaimed "oh-oh me-me I want a chocolate milkshake too!" the father looked at him "that would be all!"
"Okay wait a moment please" Naruto made beeline for back of restaurant.
"By the way I haven't seen you guys around, are you new because I would have noted if there was 8 octuplets running around?"
He turn around "oh yeah! We are boss clones not siblings actually and yeah we started working here recently".
"Clone magic?"
"Um huh"
Naruto walk out of hall to the cabin to give the order given to him by man and his daughter, he came back to main hall to stand-by to take order. He noticed that the father and daughter duo who were sitting there were gone.
"Huh! Where did they go?" he looked around before deciding they must have gone to restroom, without minding their absence he get back to his work.

Naruto sigh as he relaxed in the spare bedroom provided by Oliver, as he mused about everything he have learned about this place in his head, after Oliver provided him place and job, he wander around town everyday so he could know. Where he was? How did he come here?
It still seems impossible that for him to comprehension that he was in another world. No one here knows anything about elemental nations, they don't have chakra like everyone back home, here some people can use something similar to chakra called magic, not pulling bunny out of hat or something like that, although both magic and chakra different but also similar.
It wasn't his theory it was kyuubi, he remember how he bitched to him, that saying that he couldn't feel chakra around anymore and how this 'magic thingy' in the air is prickling and feels weird. He just wanted him to find a way back home so that he may finally find some comfort.
He tried summoning toads yesterday as per kyuubi suggestion after chewing him out how much of idiot he is that even him the great kyuubi lost his patience over his stupidity, the bastard 'He could have just told him earlier', even then he could only summon a tiny toad when using chakra to summon equal that of chief toad. He had passed on his message to little guy but he still haven't heard anything from other side
Naruto knew that he has to find out more about this 'magic' and how to get back home, so he's planning to ask someone who knew more about magic, someone who can be trusted and also have higher knowledge than any other like a guild master and right know closest guild from here is Fairytail and blue pegasus, fairy tail also said to have master who is wizard saint, one of the highest authority in country.
But that also got him thinking, between magic and chakra, which is stronger? Of course in his not-so-one-sided-opinion chakra can beat magic ass anytime of day, name the place and time.
Decided to get some sleep, he dismissed to animated fight between 2 figure name chakra and magic duking out in his head.
'Might as well get some sleep' He thought, abruptly smell of smoke reached his nose .
"BOOM"
Just as he was about to close his eyes he heard explosion that shook the house he was staying in.
"What was that?" with shock he spring into his feet to look out of door, what the sound was about.
"Brat! W-what was that" Oliver sprint over to the door of house.
"I don't know but It's looks like someone's house exploded" Naruto pointed his finger towards the smoke rising from a house not far from them.
Both of them stepped out of house as they saw people are running away from blast.
"BOOM"
"BOOM"
Suddenly the streets were flooded with town folks screaming and running for their lives, the ground quivered as the couples of more blast hit the followed by chain explosion.
"What's going on?"
"Some people are attacking the town! "
'Help! Someone help"
"Mommy? Daddy?"
"Everybody get out of here!"
"It's Hades Lair run!"
"Oh god! Why are they here?"
Oliver was shaking in fear where he stood "H-H-Hades lair" he struttered.
Blonde face harden, he run back inside the house, grab his ninja tool pouch from the table, "Old man get back inside, I will handle it".
"w-wait" he tried to stop Naruto but he was already out of sight.
"Damn brat!" he cursed
XXXX
Chaos! Everywhere it was chaos and destruction, some building were on fire, streets were filled with panic and scream, people running for their life, children were crying.
Town was already surrounded by the group, with dozens of mages everywhere were attacking town left and right, while rest were amassing civilian and moving their supplies and equipment from a bunker into open field.
A man walked over to the largest building, a tall man with large, bulky and extremely muscular man set wide with short, spiky black hair. He has a large scar going across left side of his face from hairline to mouth, his left hand is replaced with prosthetic one
His outfit consist of black, hooded clock, he wear a red tank top, dark colored pants and black knee-high boots "get them all gather up at town's hall building, if anyone escapes I'm taking all of your heads" he screeched to all the mages below.
"Hai captain" group of mages wearing dark green robes responded.
"Tch, why would master choose such remote and filthy place to raid? It filled with filthy bloods. I can't sense any whatsoever magic potency in this town at all. We should just purify this lots and be done with this" said a fairly tall, curvaceous, dark skinned women standing beside that captain, she had white lipstick, white hair flowing freely in the back with her bang however slicked upward, save for one lock which dangles down in front of her forehead.
She was wearing black a black, polka-dotted cloak, under which she dons a blue bandeau with tassels and around her waist, she was wearing nothing but a black loincloth.
"Master said he sensed something here, something so valuable that if we get our hands at this we will be so much close to our goal" the muscular man said before glowering at his companion "Don't you dare question master, Briar. Otherwise it won't end well for you".
Women name briar "I know that already, Butch!" Scowled.
One of the gathered middle aged civilian stood up amidst every captured people, bellowing with plea and fear he screamed in the direction of man named butch and briar.
"Why are you doing this? We didn't do anything to you people!" he continued forward as he bow down in front of them "please, don't kill us, take whatever you wan-"before he could continue he was kicked by the white haired lady to make a small crack on the ground as his eyes rolled back.
"Don't talk before being told to, filthy vermin blood" glaring at remaining 'insect' cowering in group "Next time someone make a noise, will wish they didn't"
"P-Papa! Wake up! Papa" one of kid from group ran up to the unconscious man, he tried wake him with no result, instead glared at the white haired women "h-how dare you do that! You will pay for that!".
"What did you say? I will pay for that?" she walk up to him "and how exactly you're gonna do? Huh!" briar raises her legs to kick the kid.
"Briar don't kill him yet!" butch ordered her, but briar wasn't I mood to comply with him.
"Wild Pitch Rasengan"
The foot never connect to the kid instead briar was sent flying to one of the building by what looked like blue ball of light which consumed the poor lady who let out a silent scream, earth rupture when it made impact with one of the building.
Everyone looked a short distance from where briar from where attack came from, Naruto raise from ground "that went well!" looking towards mages and muscular guys Naruto raised his eyebrow "well are you surrendering now? Or after I beat you up?"
XXXX
Naruto was running through was running through streets, occasionally beating up any dark mage he came across but it still wasn't enough to discourage them to stop attacking. He jumped over the tallest building in near vincity to get better view of the situation.
Burning! The town was burning was his first conclusion, from his view he could see that they were surrounded from everyside, buildings collapsing, followed by the sound of blast and destruction, peoples screaming.
Peering far from the city he noticed that the forest surrounding them has been burning too. That explain all the smoke
Crossing his finger, he surged his chakra "shadow clone jutsu" 100 near identical copy of Naruto appears beside.
Without saying another word everyone dispersed, everyone going their separate direction while original stood his stance.
"Okay let's find the leader of band" he muttered to himself as he descended to ground.
After running through some streets and mages he came of a group of grunts shouting and beating some civilian, making them follow where they intended to take them, deciding best coarse of action would be to follow them.
He activated Transparency jutsu and quietly follow them
He continued to tail the group, upon entering the town hall he noticed 2 figures who looked different then other. From the looks of it that buffed up guy was giving commands to his minions who gave responds to his order with chorus of 'hai captain' that means he was one of top dogs.
He steadily got close to figure, with baited breathe he watched as man was kicked by the women he passed out, he didn't want to reveal himself just yet! He wanted to see what he was dealing with here, their reason to attack, ero sennin always says "first know as much about the guy you want to fight before fighting', he counted 11 peoples here including the topdogs.
Nonetheless he knew his plan failed when kid shouted at women and by judging of her expression this isn't gonna end well for the kid.
'Dammit' he cursed mentally, while preparing Rasengan ' atleast I will finally be able to use it on someone else'
"What did you say? I will pay for that?" she walk up to him "and how exactly you're gonna do? Huh!" briar raises her legs to kick the kid.
"Briar don't kill him yet!" her partner called out.
He threw out the rasengan as soon as it formed in his hand.
"Wild pitch rasengan"
He saw as modified technique of rasengan hit her right side of body, she was sent flying with silent scream short distance before jutsu exploded. His transparency jutsu dropped out one of the drawback of this jutsu is you can't use it with any other ninjutsu.
"Well that went well for first try" he looked toward her partner, butch "well are you surrendering now? Or after I beat you up?"
"W-Where did he come from?" one of minion strutted.
Everyone was taking his sudden arrival with surprise, so acted as best he could in this situation he aimed his kunai at butch blocked it with his prosthetic arm, naruto took 2 deft steps and grabbed the person closeset to him, with his pointing hand, slamming the owner into ground and twisting his arm high behind his back until he gave a distinctive cry of whimper, the other minions didn't hang back they pointed their staff at blonde, using mage body he threw it next minion, Naruto ran between group, his foot lashed out, catching one in the stomach. A spluttering grunt bounced off the wall, followed by a thud as Naruto hooked the toes of shoes behind man's heel and swept his feet out.
Now with one man on ground, he ducked behind the swing of minion, catching him around waist he suplexed him into ground, only to roll over to avoid weapon aimed at him head, with push of his hand on ground both of his feet kicked one man hard enough to crack his skull.
Seeing him so easily decimated their mates, 2 minion near him took a step back in fear.
"if you back out now! I will kill you" butch who was watching the fight with some mild interest, said threateningly.
Swallowing lump both prepare to use their weapon to shot out spell but before either of them could, Naruto ran upto one with jab to his chin, turning around he roundhouse the other bloke in face, so hard the man eyes rolled out on the back of his head.
"Nice kick" the blond muscular man compliment him, he standing with his hand in front of his chest "and that attack on briar was good too, but it's not enough!"
"Who are you? Are you the in charge here?" he knew that way that butch handled itself, he's stronger than the rest "because I got some question for" he cracked his knuckle.
"But first" Naruto motion towards stunned civilian group "you guys wanna go or just gonna sit here all day?".
Seeing they were being addressed by their savior, everyone person was already running away.
"Oi! Take the ojji-san with you" indicating toward unconscious man laying on the floor he barked "you gotta help the man in need, take him!"
Some men slowly came forward in fear of being attacked, seeing no one was paying them any mind, grasping the man they take off hastily.
As they scrambled the area leaving only Naruto and butch with bunch of hades lowlife mages laying motionless on ground.
Sound of steps and concrete falling of building alerted Naruto and butch, as Naruto watched with corner of his, the white haired women he had blasted away emerges from debris holding tightly on to his right side, she looked pretty rough up if pain in her expression was anything to go by.
She cast him a dirty look "how dare you? How dare you attack me?" she was seething in pain and anger. "Do you have any idea what you just did? You have just brought the wrath of hades lair upon yourself!"
"Butch don't interfere" briar took stance and without a second thought activate her spell 'Clone Magic', she split in two, then two became 4.
"I'm angry briar"
"I'm smiling briar"
"I'm sorrowful briar"
"~and I'm loving briar"
Naruto looked at her clone dumbly, all of her clone has different expression, one was scowling at him "I have never being so angry in my life"
One was smiling like idiot who is high in sugar despite being pretty rough up "it's so funny that you think you can beat us by yourself"
Other one was sobbing while looking at his direction "It's so sad that I have kill you"
And the last one was gazing at him with lustful eyes with blush forming on her cheek "~you know you're cute. if you apologize and behave I might even let You be my sex slave" winking "let's have some fun ok~.
He shudder, honestly! last one creeped him out.
Seeing his reaction sorrowful briar said "poor boy is so terrified of our power that he is shaking In his boot"
"Let's beat up this shit stain" angry briar command, she brought her hand in horizontal slicing motion, as the purple beam shot out of her hand, he reacted by simply ducking under the beam destroying the building behind him in process.
"it's good thing I sent those peoples out of here" he sigh in relief, but wasn't given the chance to take a break as all 4 briar jumped at him with beam shooting out of her hands but naruto easily weave through each of their attack, skidding under one of her strike, he rolled out under happy briar and and kicked her in right side, she used her hand to protect herself only to grunt in pain from the damage she had taken from his previous attack, without relenting he turn around and kicked his other foot to her head, this time she wasn't able to react in time, fell hard to ground "you should have used more clone if you wanted to land a hit on me with that".
"Bastard" seethed the angry briar.
The loving briar replied instead "~we can only use 4 clone each according to our personality!". She affectionately explained "~don't worry I will teach you once I made you my pet"
"Only 4? Man that's sad" he shake his head disappointingly, forgetting that he couldn't even make one in academy.
Crossing his finger he called out his signature move "Shadow Clone Jutsu" in front of him 4 clone sprung on life "but I think four will be more than enough for you".
"y-you can use clone magic too?" one of briar said, at this point he didn't really care which was which.
"I can, and even better than you. From now on Call me master! Or I will have punish a naughty girl like you " only after his proclamation and seeing the blush forming on one of the briar face did he realize what he said "n-n-not like that" he stuttered. Silently blaming ero-sennin for making him read all that crap.
Apparently she wasn't the only one surprised by his technique the guy standing behind was looking quite surprised too. But didn't said anything choosing to closely observe the fight.
"How do you know that technique? It's forbidden black magic!"
"I stole it"
"y-you stole it?"
"Yep"
"But how?"
"I can be sneaky"
"huh?" was her intellectual response
"Nevermind that" he send all 4 of his clone to briar's clone to engaged in fight.
One of his clone grasp other clone hand while running, spinning around himself he transform into fumma shuriken, while other clone threw him at briar's clone. She tilted to let the flying shuriken through her, but wasn't expecting a punch to gut followed by haymaker by the said shuriken who transform back to blonde annoyance under her guard, saliva escaped from her mouth.
One of her clone jumped on him from behind with intent to slice him up, he barely avoid the attack, but was struck by her followed by strike, instead to showing any sign of pain he smiled, she didn't like that smile.
"Boom"
Both of her clone was dangerously close to his that both got caught up in the blast. Her clones were thrown out on street so badly burnt and damaged, possibly dead. they glow before merged up with her 2 remaining clones who were engaged in fight with his clones.
Both of her clones were overwhelmed by blonde's as one of clone kicked the legs under happy briar she tried run but he was faster than her, out of balanced, naruto again kicked her hard enough that she was shot up in the air, meanwhile his other clone dropped kick her back to the earth, crack formed where she dropped.
The beaten clone merged with last remaining loving briar.
'Huff..huff..' briar was out of breath, it seems whatever fatigue and beating the clone has received were beginning to show itself on her body.
"I…I." thud her body fell unconscious on the ground.
Now only one left was the muscular dude "so we finally came the last boss" Naruto knew he was strong, sometimes you can just tell if the person is strong or weak just by the vibe they give off around them self. He didn't rush him, his clones did though.
one of his clone throw his kunai, other one go through sets of handseals "shadow shuriken jutsu" the number or kunai multiplied , while last clone go through different sets of hand seals, outstretching his hand a gale of wind boast the kunai speed tenfold as it sailed through midair headed for butch.
Seeing attack headed his way, he called out "Muscle augmentation magic" the muscle on body shifted and tightened around his body, with a wave of his hand, the wind around his being as if a barrier was formed in air, the kunai bounced off it, and fell with 'clang'. "don't pull punches with me kid" with shock that shattered the ground underneath he shot for his clones, didn't stand a chance, a sudden punch that tore through his body like hot knife through butter dispelling him, leaving only 2 clones with original.
Both of them rushed to him, butch easily dodge every attack, parried his strike, he held his head in his grip, clone chose this moment to bombed himself like he did with briar, 'boom' everything in close exploded from blast.
Naruto raised his eyebrow he knew butch know that he could explode his clone and he was fast enough to easily escape that attack 'he could have dodge that'. "Well his loss, my gain" there's no way he will come out unscratched from that.
Smoke covered that area "don't tell me this is your level?" from smoke he emerges, he looked like he was barely affected blast, aside from light burn and ruined clothes he was perfectly fine. He sounded disappointed.
In blink of eyed he shot towards real him, Naruto knew he didn't let down his guard, but he was still surprised as a fist met his face, from the force of punch he was propelled so fast he went through blocks of house finally stopping on other side of street.
Thud, thud, thud,
Naruto felt like he collided with freaking train, after minutes or two or maybe seconds he don't know, he pulled himself out of rubble .His vision was distorted, and there was weird ringing in his ear plus he can feel all the blood he was lying in, feeling kyuubi chakra lessening the pain and closing the wound. "holy shit! All this just from one punch".
A rush of memory hit him, his clone blow himself up when he close but didn't stand a chance. "Shit! Bastard is fast and extremely powerful, and it looks like he can easily brush of exploding clone like slap in wrist".
Righting himself he stood up and waited for his vision and hearing to get back to normal. With groan of pain he jump off towards where he came from. Apparently butch was still there, he noticed someone approaching him, turns towards blonde standing in rooftop, surprised "oh! You're still alive!" slowly a grin was forming on his face. "Good, very good! i didn't expect you to be still alive, most people just roll over and die after one punch!" showing his full bloom grin "but looks like i just might enjoy this butchery a little bit"
Naruto crossed his finger "shadow clone jutsu" more than 100 clones came to being.
Half of Naruto grabbed other half, and threw them like a missile at butch, who was weaving through blondes while attacking simultaneously, he threw a punch at one, duck and kick the other. Sliding between 2 he grabbed one of the clone and spin around using him like a bat to swat every other clone in range.. and it was just pissing him off all the more.
Cause of massive dispelling of, the whole area was covered in thick smoke.
A hand emerged from ground, grabbed in foot, butch tried to punched the ground, but doubled over as one of Naruto came flying through smoke and speared him in gut.
It opened up chance for him and he took it, and like a hulk, he forcefully yanked his clone out of ground that was connected to another one legs and vice versa all the way to clone holding onto butch's legs
With the momentum that he had managed to generate, dragging every clone out when he spun the entire bulk of clones in circle like a huge fucking whip, with a yell all the clone went up in the air, holding onto the foot of butch.
"Clone chain body slam"
Naruto twisted and slammed the entire mass of clones along with butch on the hard ground, dispelling them all leaving the other blonde dude buried in ground.
"How do you like that you bastard?" he cheered.
Ground rumbled from where he was buried "oh… for the fuck sake" he groaned and jumped back to create distance.
"Not bad! That actually hurt!" his grinned "you aren't so disappointing after all".
He stretched his neck and shoulder, crouching low, muscle in his legs tensed up and rush to attack.
"Wait! Wait! Timeout! Timeout!" Naruto held up his hands in front of his causing absurd halt to butch attack.
"What is it?" he sounded annoyed "is he thinking of giving up?".
"First answer this, why are you attacking this town? What has they ever done to you?"
Butch raised his eyebrow at the sudden question.
"You first! Who are you? I'm butch, 2nd division captain of hades lair" butch ignored his question.
"No! You answer my question, I asked first! Only then will I answer yours" he counter back the question.
Butch debating whether or not freely give away the secret of guild, even briar didn't know all the details. Then again dead men tell no tales. Deciding no real harm in telling him he answered "well our master is strong, as strong as 10 Wizards saints but still near strong enough for completion of our goal, he requires more power, but 2 weeks ago he felt a tremendous amount of dark energy even stronger than his, around this part of country, something so powerful. it will help us reach our goals and for that we have been searching this energy since then, going from town to town" he told before adding a little extra "oh and also we're tailing this bothersome couple who escaped with a little girl, we must have her, reports have it that they took sheltered in this town, it will help if you happens to know anything about that".
"A little girl? You into Lolicon or something?" his build doesn't look it.
"HELL NO!" he shouted immediately, looking offended. "Now tell me who you are?"
Instead of replying he blew raspberry and pat his butt "No!"
A tick mark formed in his forehead he growled at being lied to "why you?", just as he was about to leap for him, he was cut off mid.
"Rasengan"
From above a figure landed on him with a ball of blue spiraling ball and slammed it into his back, shredding his back in process.
Standing up from delivering the rasengan his clone stood.
"Nice clone-me" original Naruto gives his clones thumbs up.
"Nice work distracting him, boss-me" he thumbs up backs before dispelling.
Naruto jumped down towards his fallen enemy to check on him "You know I had left behind some shadow clone before coming here! Once they knew who I up against they send me reinforcement! Aren't my clones way awesome then that creepy lady?!" cautionary he bring out his feet to the body 'twitch' him with his foot, one time, seeing no response he did it again 2nd time.
Smirking to himself, he nodded 'job done' "you're not gonna get up this ti-uuuuughhh " suddenly the body beneath him jerked and grab hold of his legs, and slammed him into rigid round, standing up he thrash him into the ground and threw him into building.
Butch shoulder were twitching as if crying "hahahaha" he was laughing ,his laughter changed into full blown hysterical laugh "HAHAHAHAHAHA" crazed grin with blood coming out of his mouth and other parts of his body, he was bleeding badly "THIS IS SO AWESOME! YOU'RE SO AWESOME!" looked where he threw him. "Come out now! Entertain me more!"
But nothing happened, he frowned, waiting for dust to clear up.
"Ok, I'm definitely never gonna do that again!" hearing his voice crazed mage perked up.
He saw emerging Naruto form was bloodied and bruised, with same crazed grin the blonde mage replied "I underestimated you but not again !"
His prostatic fist covered was covered in energy, slammed it into ground "big bang impact" he cried out.
Whole area around them shook with force as the crate was formed in radius equal to half of the town, with it's center at impact point.
Naruto standing in front of him dispelled indicating he was clone, while original jumped up from smoke into the air to avoid getting crushed.
"No more tricks! We fight like a warrior and die like warrior" he shouted to blonde ninja when he landed.
"Tch" Naruto clicked his tongue' 'so he knew it was clone'.
"This is fight to survive" butch honestly hasn't felt this excited for a while now.
'Shadow clone jutsu' more than two hundred clones formed around Naruto and surrounded butch from all the sides.
"Again with that techniques of your? You're one trick pony, aren't you?". This time instead of rushing him butch pulled back his arm and throw his fist in empty air "shockwave impact" the air in front of him came to solid form and hurled across blonde ninja and clone.
Despite the oncoming attack his clone didn't stop running towards him. Drawing out kunai 'imagine rubbing 2 halves of chakra together, sharpening the flow' he remembered Jiraiya advice on nature manipulation as he start pumping wind chakra to his blade, invisible to naked eye but he can feel it, the length of kunai grew to the size of sword.
Still fending of the clone butch notice a hand again emerges from ground to grab his, he brought down his fist like hammer to the ground, cracking the ground, dispel the clone all the while send blonde out of balance "this trick won't work on me twice".
Regardless of fight in his favour butch was feeling dizzy from all the blood he lost in fight, but he wasn't concerned as he was truly enjoying this fight.
Some of his clone threw there wind coated kunai at him from all the sides, waving his around in 360 motion a barrier was crated around himself but not strong as before. But even that wasn't able to stop all the kunai, some managed to find there way inside barrier and some dug into his body, some missed due to refraction of barrier while one managed to find it's way to shoulder, making a clear cut all the way to back.
Remaining clone close in on him, butch didn't bulged in spite of all the injuries, he began to clear the field with blondes clone, but one managed to hit his leg hard enough to make him kneel, seeing an opportunity, one used his wind coated chakra blade to sever his entire right arm from shoulder, while other stabbed him in foot, planting him to the earth.
Even though his grin didn't fade, he brought out his fist glowing with his magic to earth, causing miniature earthquake, clones lost their balance due the shaking and dissipated leaving only panting, bruised Naruto and bloodly beaten butch.
Even naruto had to give downed mage some respect for his tenacity "Naruto"
"Huh?" seeing confusion on his face, he continued.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto!"
Butch looked surprised at him, chuckling he replied "you're strong Uzumaki Naruto" he pulled out kunai buried in his bodies and foots "I wish to fight with you some more, but I'm afraid we have to finish this soon" his vision was becoming dizzy he was in verge of unconsciousness, his left fist was again coated with magic "this will be my last strike" he called out "big bang ".
Naruto formed Rasengan bigger than before in his hand
Both stared at one other, both knew this will be the last attack. No more tricks. Just one last attack.
Running towards each at full sprint both respectively called out their most powerful attack in their arsenal. Colliding their attacks respectively.
ODAMA RASENGANN
BIG BANG IMPACT
BOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*
Explosion nearly knocked the entire town, the wind pressure generated from explosion attacked the remaining structures around town which was spared during the butch first attack came crashing down, the wind and the explosion finally died out as massive cloud of smoke rose from below.
When the dust cleared, Leaving a barely conscious Naruto laying in his pool of blood, and blonde mage standing few feet apart.
'thud'
The standing mage finally fell down with eyes open staring at unknown.
Naruto looked at motionless body of butch for several seconds, noticing sound of footstep coming closer his eyes starting to drop, slowly slumbering him into unconscious saving him from pain he felt all over his body.
Last thing he heard was ".ey I ..und ..meone.."
XXXX
Year X779, 18 July
[3 days after attack]
He opened his eyes to a strange white ceilings and white walls.
First thing he perceived was the smell of phenyl in his room, eyes darted around room noticing he was laying in bed, with glucose Iv drip attached to his arm and on table beside his bed some medicine and pill were laying about and some machine in the corner of the room.
Roaming his hand on his person he felt bandage around his body and plaster on his right arm, groggily he sitting up he felt weak. 'so I'm in the hospital'. Strangely enough he felt safe, even if he was in foreign place.
His mouth was dry.
The door of the room opened up, he saw a man in white coat 'doctor' he thought enter accompanied by 2 men in garish uniform, looked like something a priest would wear. High collared, sleeveless dark robe over light shirt with wide sleeves ending below the elbows, where circled by thin bands with some symbol in front of their robes resembling cross, they both equipped with long metal staff, ending with sphere, looked like crystal.
"Ah. So you're awake! That's good!" he walked upto blonde with smile on his face accompanied by both guards, checking over file he said "you're in hospital of era Naruto-kun under the protection of magic council and I'm your doctor" seeing him staring he explain "oh! Someone from town told us your name".
He poked him in few place "it doesn't hurt right?" seeing him shake his head he said "well do you remember what happened before your unconsciousness?" he again nodded "first let me tell you that when you came here you had a severe concussion, most of your ribs were broken cleanly from their cage, broken femur, ruptured organs, some of your skin was shredded and severely bruised, you bones in right arms was broken so we have to plastered it, anyway you're lucky your spine was close to getting severed" he finished.
'Yeah right?! Pretty lucky' but he didn't said anything, it would be ungrateful plus his throat feels really dry.
"You have some kind of healing factor Naruto-kun?" it wasn't a question they both knew that, 'kyubi' he thought "if it hasn't been for that you still might have been in coma".
He meekly asked "can I get some water?" it was hurting just to speak "my throats dry.
"oh! yes! Here let me" doctor handled him a glass of water.
He gulped down the water in greedily and sigh in relief.
"Thanks to your healing factor Naruto-kun, you've almost done healing except of that arms of your it might take 2-3 days to heal, but let it be for a week just to be on the safe side.
"What happened to that guy? Whom I was fighting" he already knew the answer but shake from doctor head confirmed it.
"You and him were found by ruins knight which were deployed, but he was already dead when they find him, but were alive, so after giving you some on field first aid, they refer you direct here!" checking him all over again, he motion towards guard behind " these gentlemen here, are sent by magic council, they want to know what happened precisely so I will leave you guys alone for a moment" he left the room.
Naruto stared at guard, they stared back.
"Naruto Uzumaki! You have been called for hearing with magic council!"
…
'fart'
"um.. can I use toilet?"
