Chapter 2: Kyuubi vs Cursed Seal!
Sasuke charged at his former friend. He left afterimages behind due to his insane speed.
Naruto´s red eyes followed his movement perfectly.
He sunk down on all fours and growled. Naruto then charged Sasuke, running on all fours. They reached each other, and Sasuke threw a punch. Naruto saw it coming and dodged it by jumping back. Sasuke´s fist hit the ground for a second, and Naruto acted. He grabbed Sasuke´s arm with one hand and put the other on the ground. Naruto then lifted his left leg from the ground and delivered a devastating kick. His foot made contact with Sasuke´s jaw and the boy flew back. Then his body exploded into smoke, leaving a piece of wood in it's place. Naruto´s eyes widened in surprise. He quickly leapt into the air, narrowly avoiding 5 kunai´s. Naruto´s enhanced eyes quickly tracked down his enemy. Sasuke was already running towards him. Naruto jumped into the air and put his feet together while spreading his arms. "Here´s my own version of Kiba´s attack! Uzumaki Naruto Taijutsu! Drilling Fang Attack!" Naruto yelled. He started spinning with an insane speed. Sasuke analysed the technique with his Sharingan and frowned. He stopped running and made some rapid hand seals.
"Fire Element - Grand Fireball Technique!" Sasuke yelled.
He made a circle with one of his fingers and put it over his mouth. He blew out a huge fireball. Naruto´s spiraling body hit the fireball, and for a moment they were locked in a stand-still. Then Naruto´s rapidly rotating body drilled through the fireball and headed straight for Sasuke. The blue haired teenager frowned, then he jumped out of the way in the last second. Naruto stopped spinning the moment he hit the ground and ran after Sasuke.
Sasuke made some hand seals and put two erect fingers at the side of his mouth.
"Fire Element - Phoenix Fire Technique!" Sasuke yelled.
He shot several small fireballs from his mouth.
Naruto had seen this attack many times before and he immediately started running in a Z-pattern. The fireballs missed him, and he jumped into the air and bared his claws.
"Drilling Fang Attack!" Naruto yelled and performed the spiral attack again.
Sasuke smirked.
"That won´t work on me!" He yelled.
Sasuke jumped out of the way, making Naruto´s attack miss once again. Naruto stopped spinning and growled at Sasuke. He quickly put his hands together with two fingers vertical and two fingers horizontal.
"Shadow Replication Technique!" Naruto yelled.
Smoke erupted from him and several clones that looked just like him appeared around him.
(My Sharingan can´t make out wich is the real one. Well, more fun for me!) Sasuke thought.
"Fire Element - Grand Fireball Technique!" Sasuke let loose with a devastating fireball attack.
The fireball headed straight for the Naruto clones.
"Scram!" One of the clones yelled.
All the clones scattered and avoided the fireball. They all headed for one target. Sasuke.
The Sharingan user grinned. (Now this is going to be fun...) He thought. Sasuke then charged straight into the attacking clones. He punched one of them and it disappeared in a puff of smoke. Sasuke put his hands on the ground and lifted his legs into the air. He spun his legs around with insane speed. Sasuke flew through the pack of clones in a whirlwind and destroyed them all in a matter of seconds.
He stopped spinning and landed perfectly on his feet. He looked behind him and noticed his enemy.
He grinned and blurred away. Sasuke reappeared a second later, right beside his foe.
He drew a kunai and drove it into Naruto´s side. The blonde boy twitched, and Sasuke grinned.
"I win." Sasuke stated.
Naruto twitched once more, then he suddenly dissolved into smoke! Sasuke´s eyes widened.
"A Shadow Replication? Then...!" Sasuke turned, and his eyes widened.
Naruto dropped down from above him, his red eyes burning. Sasuke started to move but it was futile.
Naruto came in close and drew back his fist.
"I´VE GOT YOU!" A loud smack announced that he had hit gold.
Saliva flew out of Sasuke´s mouth and his feet left the ground.
"You bastard...!" Naruto wisphered to himself.
As soon as Naruto´s feet touched the ground, he jumped at Sasuke.
He was ready to deliver another direct hit. Just as Sasuke was about to hit the ground, he suddenly threw out his arms and made a graceful sommersault back onto his feet.
This didn´t stop Naruto from charging in, fist clenched and fangs bared. Sasuke frowned as he watched the fox boy get closer.
(He was actually able to land a direct hit? I have to admit that he thought of a pretty good plan.) Sasuke thought.
Sasuke then lowered himself into a battle stance. Naruto reached him and threw a punch.
Sasuke knocked his arm away and threw a punch of his own. Naruto ducked and delivered an uppercut, but Sasuke managed to dodge his attack.
The blue haired boy threw a kick aimed for the head, but Naruto jumped into the air and caught his leg. Sasuke´s eyes widened slightly at this. Naruto spun around and threw Sasuke over his shoulder.
Sasuke spun around in the air and managed to land skillfully on the ground. The two combatants stared at each other. Blood red eyes met crimson red eyes tainted with two black dots. Then they both blurred away.
They reappeared a distance away, throwing punches and kicks at each other in a frenzy. After about ten seconds without neither combatant getting in a single blow, they both sped up their attacks and increased their efforts.
Their movements became a blur as they tried to overthrow each other. Naruto let out a battle cry and started attacking Sasuke with everything he had!
Sasuke grunted as he was forced to go defensive. His Sharingan worked overtime to foresee Naruto´s movements.
The blonde boy stopped his attacks for only a moment, but it was all Sasuke needed.
He immediately went back on the offensive by letting loose the exact same combo as Naruto had. Naruto managed to dodge the flurry of punches and kicks. He bared his fangs.
"My own moves won´t work against me! I´m so well versed in my own fighting style that I know how to perfectly block my own attacks!" Naruto exclaimed and threw a punch.
Sasuke grunted at this.
"What do you mean, idiot?" Sasuke replied and blocked Naruto´s punch.
Naruto half-grinned.
"I used to train by fighting with my own Shadow Replications! That way, I learned of all my weaknesses!" Naruto exclaimed.
Sasuke grunted again and put more effort into his attacks.
(Hey kid! What are you doing? Why are you holding back? Kill him already!) A deep rumbling voice suddenly went off inside of Naruto´s head. He frowned briefly and jumped back from Sasuke.
(No. I won´t kill him. He´s my teammate. More importantly, he´s my friend. I can´t and won´t kill him!
No matter what you say, Kyuubi!) Naruto sent back. The demon growled inside of his mind.
(Stop blabbering rubbish! Get serious and kill his ass! He isn´t your friend anymore! He betrayed you! He has become just another of your enemies! Just face it! That kid won´t come back! So get serious already and kill him!) Kyuubi roared. Naruto frowned at this. One part of him wanted to believe the demon fox, while another part completely resented what Kyuubi had said. One of the downsides when using the Kyuubi´s Chakra at this level, was that the Kyuubi was allowed partly into his mind.
This made holding back more difficult than usual. Naruto shook his head. (I won´t kill him, Kyuubi and that´s final!) Naruto stated. Kyuubi growled but didn´t say anything more. Sasuke made some quick hand seals while watching Naruto intensively. Naruto formed his favorite hand seal. The Shadow Replication hand seal. They both stared down each other. Things were going to get serious from here on.
There y'all have it! Chapter 2! Hope you all enjoyed it! Well then, on to chapter 3!
