Chapter 4: I swear I will WIN!

A low rumbling in his head announced that his source of unnatural power
was on the move again.
(Do yourself a favor and KILL the punk! I´ve had enough of your "I won´t kill him" bullshit!
Do it! Kill him! I know you want to! I want it too! KILL HIM!
) Kyuubi roared.
Naruto shook his head again. (Didn´t you hear what I said earlier, Kyuubi?
I won´t kill him and that´s final! So stop bothering me about that!) Naruto sent back.
Kyuubi once again growled but went quiet.
Sasuke suddenly blurred away. Naruto´s eyes widened and he quickly jumped back,
narrowly avoiding Sasuke´s oncoming foot. He landed a few meters away.
Sasuke stood up and grinned at him again.

"Watch it blondie. I almost had you there." Sasuke stated.

Naruto growled at first, but then he grinned.

"Heh! Don´t flatter yourself! The same trick won´t work on me twice!" Naruto exclaimed.

Sasuke humphed at this and shrugged. He then slid into a battle stance.
Naruto now focused on Sasuke.
(I´ve got to knock him out! But how do I do it?) Naruto wondered.
He pondered this intensively for a few dire seconds. Then, a solution appeared in his mind.
His facial expression hardened as he faced Sasuke.
(Ero-Sennin told me never to use this move against anyone I care about but...this is a special case!
I have to use it! If I don´t, then I can´t defeat him!) Naruto thought.
He planted his feet firmly into the ground and stared straight into Sasuke´s eyes.
He concentrated hard and power started to build up inside of him. He yelled into the sky
and red Chakra exploded around him! It burned strongly around him. Sasuke frowned at this.
(What is the idiot thinking?) Sasuke wondered.
Naruto put out his right hand before him and started gathering Chakra in it.
Red Chakra took form in his palm and it started swirling around itself in a ball.
It´s rotation speed and size increased as Naruto sent more Chakra into the ball.

"Sasuke! We´re both getting short on time here! Even though you´re not showing it,
I know that you are starting to feel fatigue. Quite frankly, I am too!
Fighting at this level uses massive amounts of Chakra! So let´s end this fight with the next move!
One big attack to settle everything! The winner takes all!" Naruto declared.

Sasuke frowned even deeper at this. A second later he smiled.

"Alright then, Naruto...let´s end this!" Sasuke said.

Purple lightning started flying out of his left hand.
A ball of glowing purple Chakra took form in his hand.
It crackled and grew slightly in size. Sasuke grinned madly at Naruto.
Naruto bared his fangs and growled at Sasuke. Their faces were illuminated by their
respective Chakra.

"Alright, Sasuke! Let´s go!" Naruto yelled.

He brought his arm back and charged forward.

"Here I come!" Sasuke yelled.

He brought his arm back and zipped forward. The two teenagers charged forward,
both were determined to end the fight with this move. They screamed as they neared each other.
Then they brought their hands forward.

"RASENGAN!"

"CHIDORI!"

Their attacks met, and a blinding flash followed. The two balls of Chakra pressed against each other,
trying to overthrow the other. Naruto and Sasuke had their teeth clenched.
They were both pressing their hands against each other. Sasuke closed one of his eyes and pressed on harder
and so did Naruto. Sparks flew and bits of Chakra rained down around them.
Naruto sent all the Chakra he could into the Rasengan. He was determined to win this one.
(I swear...I will...WIN! We´ve all worked so hard to get Sasuke back! To get him to understand!
Everyone has worked for one goal! I can´t lose now! I...will...WIN!) Naruto thought.
Naruto and Sasuke screamed loudly into the sky.


(Chouji...)

The now skinny boy was still lying against the tree. He had no body fat left whatsoever.
He had taken the red Akimichi food pill. The pill burns away all the users' body fat and turns it into pure Chakra,
giving him immense power. With a terrible prize though. The user dies only minutes after taking the pill.
Chouji sat unmoving against the tree. Then suddenly, he twitched. He took a shaky breath and gripped
his forehead protector more firmly. He was still alive. And it proved only one thing. It proved who he was.
He was Akimichi Chouji. The Akimichi family´s genius. Chouji managed one single thought.
(Everyone...try hard for me...okay?) Then he slipped back into the darkness.


(Neji...)

The skilled Genin was lying on his back on the ground. He was wounded and his Chakra had been
reduced to zero. Neji rolled his head to the side and saw his opponent lying a distance away.
The Sound Jounin was dead. Killed by his own hand. Hyuuga Neji, born genius, had defeated a Jounin.
He had proved himself. Neji felt himself slipping back into the darkness. The holes in his side and shoulder
were making themselves known. (Father...I did it...I beat him...I proved myself...Everyone...
prove yourselves as I did...especially you...Naruto.) Neji thought. Then he fainted.


(Kiba...)

The oldest son in the Inuzuka Clan was lying on the ground, completely worn out.
Kiba was barely aware as he looked at his dog who was lying by his side.
Akamaru had fainted a long time ago. But not before helping Kiba deal some good damage
to the Sound Jounin. After that, Kankuro came and killed the Jounin with his two puppets, Karasu and Kuroari.
Kiba smiled slightly to himself. (Heh... Even after all that, we still couldn't beat that Sound bastard...!
Ah well, I guess I shouldn't complain. We did a pretty good job, me and Akamaru. Those damned
Sound brothers just did a better one. Not to mention that Kankuro guy. Man, what a mess...
Well, I guess I´m going to have to thank that Sand bastard later.
Everyone...beat the others, alright? Beat the other Sound bastards you guys...you can do it...) Kiba thought.
He wasn´t sure how bad his wounds really were. But he couldn´t do anything about it, so he simply ignored that fact.
Then just as Kankuro finished cleaning out and putting his puppets back on his back in their bindings,
Kiba slipped into the darkness.


(Shikamaru...)

The laziest man in the whole Nara Clan was sprawled on the ground. He was injured, but still very alive.
His injury wasn´t even remotely close to being deadly, or dangerous for that matter.
The only reason he was on the ground, was that he was almost completely out of Chakra.
Shikamaru smiled grimly to himself.
(Well, that went pretty good, in my opinion. I managed to escape with nothing but a broken finger.
Man, that Sand chick sure is scary. She's definately scarier than my mom! And she strong too, wickedly strong!
Aaah...! Women are so troublesome!) He thought.
Shikamaru looked to the left and smiled. Temari finished dusting herself off and slung her fan up on her shoulder.
Shikamaru closed his eyes and looked up at the clouds. (Women ARE troublesome... But, heh, I guess I
really have to thank her, this time around... Chouji...come back alive, allright? Neji...Kiba...Naruto...
you guys beat the other Sound Jounin´s and come back too, okay? I'm waiting for all of you guys!
Especially you, Chouji.) Shikamaru thought. Temari turned around and walked up to the lazy genius.
She raised an eyebrow at his expression before turning away.

"Come on now, genius boy. We need to get back to your village." Temari stated.

"Yeah, yeah..." Shikamaru mumbled and stood up.

He followed the Sand girl.


(Thick Brows...)

Konoha´s Beautiful Green Beast lay on the ground in a heap.
Every muscle in his body ached. That didn´t stop him from smiling though. Lee winched slightly.
His body hurt, it really did. He had numerous wounds. Some bigger than others.
Lee had very little experience with how to treat wounds, so he didn´t know if his were serious or not.
(I won...with some help though. But I did Gai-sensei proud by doing it almost by myself!
Oh well...good luck everyone...) Lee thought.
Gaara stood up and shouldered his gourd. He raised an invisible eyebrow at Lee's smile, but chose not to comment.
As always.

"Come on. We need to get you back to Konoha." Gaara stated flatly.

Lee got up with a pained grunt and started to slowly follow the Sand ninja.


(Everyone...wherever you are...please watch me...
watch me beat him...For everyone...I swear I will...WIN!) Naruto thought.
Naruto growled and pressed on harder. Sasuke did as well.
Both opened their eyes and gave their all in one last mighty push.
For a moment, their joined hands glowed as white as the sun and
hid them from view. Then the balls of Chakra broke apart and
resulted in a HUGE explosion!
The ground shook and the expanding energy dome wiped out everything in a very wide radius.
The explosion eventually died down. A tall pillar of thick smoke rose towards the skies.
Hey, hey, hey! I decided to make a small comeback and change this chapter a bit. I realised that some of the information in it
were pretty inaccurate, so I changed it. I will try to get my other stories up to par as well, just so that you know.
Well, see ya!
