Dual Blood
Don't Own Naruto
#2
"Yah!"
Naruto hit the log with another spiral kick, this time chipping the wood, before
falling to the ground. Hatch laughed again at his friend.
"Don't you have some new Hyuga to teach?" Naruto growled as he dusted himself
off.
"And miss you screwing up?!" Hatch managed to get out, "No way in hell am I
missing this!"
Naruto huffed and blew his hair out of his eyes, backed up and charged the log.
He jumped up with some small amount of strength and started to spin. Kicking
out his leg and hit the log dead on. Guess what? He crashed. growling and
rubbing his leg, while trying to get the shock out of his system, he glared at the
stubborn chunk of wood.
Smirking, Hatch spoke up.
"By the way, father is inviting you to dinner. Hinata is going to be there, too."

'The Mizu Bunshin creates clones out of water. It only has 1/10th of the
original's strength?'
"What are you reading, dear?" Mrs. Haruno asked as she peered into the living
room.
"Just looking up some Ninjutsu." came the reply.
Smiling, Mrs. Haruno put the bowl on the counter and headed in to see what her
daughter was doing.
Looking at the book, Mrs. Haruno blinked.
"The Mizu Bunshin? That's a Hidden Mist skill."
Sakura looked up at her mom.
"But that's the one that one of my teammates used!"
"Hm? Which one was it?"
"Uzu...Uzukaze...Uzunake...."
"Uzumaki?" Her mother suggested.
"Yeah, that's it! Uzumaki, Naruto!"
Mrs. Haruno was torn between her fear of the Kyuubi, and the fact that Naruto
was so well trained. Smiling shortly at her daughter, she nodded.
"Good, you could learn a lot from him." Sakura blinked.
"You know him?"
"Not personally, no. But he's a very talked about ninja!"
The timer went off in the kitchen and Mrs. Haruno smiled at her daughter once
more, before heading back into the kitchen. A frown creasing her brow, Sakura
returned to her book.
**************************************************************************** *
"We have a ranked C mission?" Kakashi repeated.
"It's a simple one, no need to worry. All you'll be doing is escorting this
young lady." The pretty looking woman nodded.
"I'm Koyko, I'm a merchant from the sand. You'll be escorting me back to my
home." The woman smiled, her voice serious, but sweet. Naruto studied her for a
few seconds. Koyko had yellow, wolfish eyes and deep red hair.
"What else are we to do?"
"Protect myself and my cart, then get back here safely."
Sakura nudged Naruto in the ribs.
"C'mon, Naruto! This is a C ranked mission!"
In her mind, it was a completely different matter.
"OH. YEAH! me and Sasuke! Alone! In a big forest! With no other girls to pester
us! Can you say, JACKPOT!' Inner Sakura sighed, melting into a puddle of goo,
imagining the possibilities.
"Well, at least it's better than a D ranked mission." Naruto sighed as his
shoulders slumped in defeat. 'Man....'
"You have an hour to pack and get ready." The Hokage continued, "Naruto,
Kakashi, I'd like to speak to you."
**************************************************************************** **
"Hey, Hatch." Naruto said as he walked into the training dojo. Hatch was
training the latest Hyuga, Hanabi. People were often killed for walking on the private land
were they not invited. Naruto, however not liked, was respected in the household and was
allowed in without invitation.
"Hey Naruto! What's up?"
Naruto shook his head.
"I'm sorry, but I won't be able to make it to dinner. I've got a mission with my new team."
Hatch nodded.
"Okay, dad will understand, but Hinata won't like it very much."
"Hatch-sama, are you finished yet?" Hanabi asked, impatient with the interruption of her
training.
"See ya later brat."
Hanabi glared at Naruto and threw her kunai at him.
Catching it, Naruto tossed it in the air once before tossing it back at Hanabi.
"Don't think you can take me, brat."
Nodding his farewell to Hatch, Naruto walked off, ignoring the 'Good Riddance'
that he heard being muttered behind him.
**************************************************************************** ***
"What's with that?" Kakashi nodded to the long, wrapped package that was hefted
at Naruto's side.
"Hm? Just something to fight with."
"Come on, let's go." Koyko said as she started walking.
Two people were pulling along Koyko's merchandise as the team got in formation.
Sakura, and, with much prodding, Sasuke were in the front, while Naruto and
Kakashi were walking along back with Koyko in the middle.
"It's an Anbu sword, isn't it?"
Blinking at his instructor, Naruto nodded.
"Hai, it is."
His visible eye heavy with mirth, Kakashi continued.
"I've heard of a Child Anbu."
"As I have heard of you." Naruto smirked, "The Leaf's number one technician,
Copy ninja Kakashi. Master of the Chidori, graduated to Genin when five, andthen to Chunin at six. Formerly of the Anbu."
"Anything else?"
"Nope, I've done my research."
A sudden scream cut into the friendly conversation and Naruto looked up to see
a large boulder heading down the path.
"Chakra Kunai!" Naruto yelled as he threw the charged Kunai into the path of the
boulder. Unexpectedly, the boulder bounced over the shallow crevice the Kunai
had made and continued towards them
"That's Ninujutsu!" Kakashi yelled surprised
"Sakura! Protect the people," Kakashi ordered, "Sasuke! Naruto! F and W,"
Sasuke and Naruto jumped in front making seals as they jumped.
"Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled as he let out a blast of fire heating
up the rolling boulder.
"Suiton Suiryuudan no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as he blasted out a blast of water
shaped like a dragon head, cooling the rock and shattering it into pieces.
"You ok?" Sakura asked.
"We're surrounded," Naruto said then thought, 'Shit! This hurts more than I
thought! When we used it last time, I had water nearby, this time I had to
create my own!'
"Surrounded?" Sakura asked as she looked around. She held her kunai closer to
herself.
"Move!" Kakashi yelled as the earth broke open beneath Sasuke and Naruto.
Sasuke jumped away but Naruto didn't. He felt into the pit.
"Naruto!" Kakashi yelled but the pit closed up.
"Dammit," Sasuke said.
"Here they come!" Kakashi yelled as ninjas came out of the ground and lunged at
them. Kakashi jumped up and kicked the nearest one but his foot smashed the
ninja into dust.
"A bunshin?" Sakura asked. Even she could defeat them. Once hit, they turned to
dust.. Kakashi looked around then picked up the dust and rubbed it between his
fingers.
"Cover your mouth!" Kakashi yelled as the dust started to turn to gas. Everyone
covered their mouth with their hands. Suddenly a ninja walked into sight. His
clothes were like fabrics wrapped around him. His headband said he was a Stone
Ninja from the Earth Country He had a metal mask over his nose and mouth.
"You can't do anything. That is unless you want to inhale the poison. Where's the
scroll?" He demanded. Kyoko shook her head no.
"Wind slash!" Naruto yelled as exploded out of the ground He swung his hands
together and a blast of wind screamed forth when he clapped his hands. The mask
the ninja wore was ripped off and the poison sent at him. The wind also revealed
something else. The ninja was also a bunshin, crumbling to dust.
"Shit," Naruto said. Suddenly, a dagger made of stone was driven into his
back.. Naruto slid to a stop. Kakashi pulled out four kunai and threw them in
the direction where the dagger came from. A ninja dropped to the ground dead as
Naruto pulled out the dagger.
"Shit. Poisoned," Naruto said as he collapsed.
**************************************************************************** *
"I thought it was a simple C ranked mission!!" Sakura yelled. They were
resting, waiting for Naruto to wake up. Kakashi had drained most of the poison
out, enough so he wouldn't die from it.
"You're hiding something aren't you?" Sasuke asked as he glanced at Kyoko.
"It's was a cover," Kakashi answered. "You knew!?" Sakura screamed.
"It wasn't confirmed that the mission was ranked A, so instead it was ranked C.
Team 7 was sent above any other team so we could handle it if it turned into an
A ranked one." Kakashi said as he turned the page of his book.
"How so?" Sasuke asked.
"Naruto and I-," Kakashi explained. Coughing alerted them to Naruto waking
up as he sat up. Naruto turned his head and spit out blood.
"Is that all of the poison?" Kakashi asked as he looked up from his book.
"Yeah," Naruto said as he sat down cross legged.
"You're not a normal," Kyoko stated. She was a bit fearful. The only abnormal
ninja she knew would kill her without second thoughts.
"Stone and Grass," Naruto stated.
"Stone and Grass! As in Stone Nins and Grass Nins! This is out of our class sensei!" Sakura panicked. Sasuke smirked.
'I can test my growth,' Sasuke thought.
"The Stone Nin attacked. The poison is that of the Grass. That means...," Naruto trailed off.
"Kyo of the Stone and Kaoru of the Grass," Kakashi said.
"Can someone explain to me what is going on?!?" Sakura screamed at the top of
her lungs,
"This is a Ranked A mission! We're Genins. Not Jounins!" A little bird flew onto
Kakashi's finger.
"Normally we would head back but we been ordered to continue," Kakashi said,
"Naruto. Use your real strength. Try without testing new techniques?"
"Why? He was weak. I got hit by luck," Naruto complained.
"Naruto," Kakashi said in a scarey tone of voice.
"What do you want?! You got a problem with me?" Naruto asked as he got in
Kakashi's face.
"Two ninjas on the right. One on the left. One going under us," Kakashi
whispered.
"I'll take the left one," Naruto whispered back. He slowly reached for his
kunai pouch. Naruto spun and threw two kunai to the left. Naruto charged.
"Sasuke. Sakura. Guard everyone here," Kakashi ordered as he jumped to the
right. A Stone Ninja exploded from the ground. Sasuke threw a kunai as Sakura
fell backwards to the ground. The ninja deflected the kunai with a broad sword.
"Earthquake!" The ninja yelled as he hit the ground with his sword. A shockwave
rushed towards them. Sasuke grabbed the two servants as Sakura grabbed Kyoko.
They jumped away as the shockwave destroyed the cart. A long scroll flipped
through the air and the Stone Ninja grabbed it. Sasuke grabbed into Sakura's
pack and grabbed what Kakashi gave all of them.
"Devil wind Shuriken!" Sasuke yelled as he threw the shuriken at the ninja.
"Mudslide barrier!" The ninja yelled as mud came out of his mouth. The shuriken
was blocked but another shuriken came through.
"Shadow shuriken," The ninja said as he jumped. The Shuriken flew under him
then another kunai changed in the direction of the Shuriken into the ninja's
back. Naruto slid pass the falling ninja and grabbed the scroll. Kakashi took
back his kunai.
"Shadow Shuriken. Very good execution," Kakashi said as he pulled the shuriken
from the ninja's back.
"So this is it," Naruto said as he stood up holding the scroll as he handed
over to Kakashi.
"That's what they're after," Sasuke stated.
"Yeah," Naruto said as he walked to Kyoko and others, "You ok," They nodded.
"Can you give it back?" Kyoko asked.
"I'll guard it," Kakashi said, "The cart and your merchandise was destroyed." "It's ok. I can easily replace them," Kyoko said, "Are you sure you can protect it, though, it is of great importance."
"What's in the scroll?" Sakura asked.
"It's will help improve the standing between the Sand and Leaf," Kakashi said
as he put the scroll into his backpack Naruto removed a shard of rock from
his side.
"You ok?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah I'm...," Naruto turned around to see Sakura trying to bandage a scratch
on Sasuke's face. Sasuke was pulled his head away from Sakura every time she
tried.
"I don't believe this," Naruto muttered.
**************************************************************************** **
"Are you sure?" asked the Hokage.
"It's been confirmed. Naruto's mission has turned to a Ranked A mission. You
and your squadron are to go and try to catch up," Hokage said.
"Yes sir," Haku said as turned to her Anbu team and nodded, "We are to catch up
and escort Team 7. Expect Stone and Grass ninjas. Expected to meet Missing Nins Kyo of the Stone and Kaoru of the Grass,"
"Kyo the Legend Killer?" One asked.
"Kaoru the angel of death?" Another asked.
"Yes. We will meet up with Anbu Fox," Haku said, "Got it?" Everyone nodded then
disappeared.
**************************************************************************** **
Sakura hummed a song as she walked. She was trying to get her mind off the fact
she could die on this mission.
'I'm going to kill Kakashi for this! I'm too beautiful to die!' Inner Sakura
screamed. Naruto was walk quietly along side Sasuke. Naruto was completely
focused for oncoming attacks.
Naruto stepped on a root that was out of the ground and heard a crack.
"Move!" Kakashi yelled as Naruto crossed his arms to block as the ground
exploded sending him into the air.
"A wood trap bomb," Kakashi said, "Everyone duck!" A log swung over their
heads.
"Move back now!" Kakashi yelled as the tree exploded into a rain of wooden
blades.
'It's wood,' Sasuke through as he jumped onto his back making seals, "Katon
Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Sasuke torched the wood blades. The wooden blade then became
burning wooden blades.
"Shit!" Sasuke yelled as he rolled as the blades hit the ground.
"You think a low level fire attack like that would stop my attack?" A voice
asked as cocoon of petals came out of the ground then opened to reveal a rather
beautiful woman. She had white hair with pink tints and red eyes. She smirked as
she looked them over
"Kaoru of the Grass I take it," Kakashi said, "I'll have to finish this
quickly," He gripped his headband.
"The Sharingan on the first time we meet?" Kaoru asked, "I'm honored. But that
kid is more of a threat and he should be dead by now,"
**************************************************************************** ***
Naruto bounced off the ground.
"I have no experience with Stone and Grass. Can't predict them," Naruto growled pulling
himself up. He jumped away spinning as the ground exploded in spikes. The spikes continued as
Naruto dodged them.
"You're not bad, dodging those attacks," A man commented. He was a bit on the
bulky side. He wore a Stone uniform and headband.
"The Missing-Nin Kyo of the Stone," Naruto said as he spun pulling out his Anbu
sword.
"So you're an Anbu. You're barely 12," Kyo said. Naruto growled.
"I am Uzumaki Naruto. I am part of the Leaf's assassination Anbu squadron,"
Naruto said, "Bring it on,"
"Quake stomp!" Kyo yelled as he stomped the ground. The ground exploded as it
traveled at Naruto. Naruto bounced off a tree and over the shockwave.
"Mokudon Hijutsu Jukai Koudan!" Kaoru's voice echoed.
"The 1st Hokage's jutsu?" Naruto asked as dodged Kyo's kunai.
"Your 1st Hokage was a ninja from the Grass," Kyo explained, "But it's me however that
you should worry about,"
"Katon Housenka!" Naruto yelled as he shot out blasts of fire.
"Mudslide barrier!" Kyo yelled as mud came out of his mouth. The fire balls
disappeared on the wall
'He can't see,' Naruto said as he charged in with his sword, "Chakra katana!"
Naruto's sword blazes as he put it over his head as he came down. Suddenly the
mud shot out and hit Naruto's chest. He flew back but grabbed a branch and
turned around.
"You thought I couldn't see?" Kyo asked as the shield came down.
**************************************************************************** ***
"Mokudon Hijutsu Jukai Koudan!" Kaoru yelled as a forest came out of the
ground. Kakashi jumped around as tree and vines as tried to attack him. Sasuke was
using the Devil Wind Shuriken to cut through the plants as they came at him.
Behind him were Sakura and the others.
"Sasuke! Sakura! Protect everyone," Kakashi ordered as he stood on a twisted
tree and pulled his headband off to reveal a red eye with black ring and three
flames.
'The Sharingan!' Sasuke thought, 'Only the Uchiha should have it,'
"Come on," Kakashi said.
**************************************************************************** ***
The battle had became a sword fight. Naruto jumped back and bounced off a tree.
He flew at Kyo who knocked Naruto away.
"Not bad kid. Mud spike!" Kyo yelled as mud exploded out of his mouth and flew
at Naruto who turned making dozens of seals.
"Suiton Suiryuudan no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as he let out a dragon shaped blast
of water destroying the spike and hitting Kyo. Naruto grabbed onto a near by
branch. He couldn't grab onto stuff with chakra. The water passed as a rock hit
the ground.
"Kawarimi no Jutsu," Naruto said, "To pull that on me. He's good,"
"Secret skill! Medaus glance!" Kyo yelled as he appeared behind Naruto. A pair of gray
beam came from his eyes. Naruto blocked it with his sword but it turned to stone
the spread to his arm.
"What the!?" Naruto screamed.
"The secret art of the Stone. You're going to turn into a statue, now," Kyo said as hegrinned, "Been fun messing with you," He turned to move away.
"Mess with this!" Naruto yelled as he pulled out a kunai and threw it. Kyo
dodged it easily and disappeared.
"Focus!" Naruto yelled to himself. His eyes turned red and with a ring of black
and three black circles, ""A poison type chakra, so I'll nullify it with
Chakra." Naruto let out a blast of chakra to his arm.
"Naruto!" A familiar voice yelled. Naruto turned to see the Anbu coming.
****************************************************************************
"Kaoru! Anbu are coming!" Kyo yelled as he came to where Kaoru was fighting.
She was in bad shape. Her arm had two kunais in her elbow.
"Idiot. Ruination cloud!" Kyo yelled as the ground exploded sending thick
clouds of dust all over the place. Kyo jumped and grabbed Kaoru when no one
could see.
"What's going on!?" Sakura yelled.
"You got lucky Kakashi! I'll kill you next time!" Kaoru screamed.
"Hidden Mist no jutsu!" A voice yelled as water from the ground came up and
mixed with the dust pulling it down. It revealed Anbu in front of them. The
leader walked to Kakashi and took off her mask to reveal Haku.
"You ok?" Haku asked. Kakashi had all sorts of cuts in his upper body from the
all the razor shape vines attacks.
"I'm ok but it's Naruto who's in trouble," Kakashi said. Naruto walked from
behind the Anbu.
"I'm not in the best of shape," Naruto joked as he held out his stone arm, "I'm
a bit stoned right now,"
Author's Note
I hope this is better in terms of spelling and grammar. I didn't know about the Obito bit
but it's too late to change I guess. It'll screw up the timeline so sorry. I'm working on the next
chapter but I have other works to deal with and exams are coming up. I got a snowboard trip this
thursday so I'll be busy. I'll try and get the next chapter up as soon as I can.
Thanks goes out of my pre-readers who help edit this chapter. Unclear- Destiny and Lita

"Sasuke. Sakura. Guard everyone here," Kakashi ordered as he jumped to the
right. A Stone Ninja exploded from the ground. Sasuke threw a kunai as Sakura
fell backwards to the ground. The ninja deflected the kunai with a broad sword.
"Earthquake!" The ninja yelled as he hit the ground with his sword. A shockwave
rushed towards them. Sasuke grabbed the two servants as Sakura grabbed Kyoko.
They jumped away as the shockwave destroyed the cart. A long scroll flipped
through the air and the Stone Ninja grabbed it. Sasuke grabbed into Sakura's

"Devil wind Shuriken!" Sasuke yelled as he threw the shuriken at the ninja.
"Mudslide barrier!" The ninja yelled as mud came out of his mouth. The shuriken
was blocked but another shuriken came through.
"Shadow shuriken," The ninja said as he jumped. The Shuriken flew under him
then another kunai changed in the direction of the Shuriken into the ninja's
back. Naruto slid pass the falling ninja and grabbed the scroll. Kakashi took
back his kunai.
"Shadow Shuriken. Very good execution," Kakashi said as he pulled the shuriken
from the ninja's back.
"So this is it," Naruto said as he stood up holding the scroll as he handed
over to Kakashi.
"That's what they're after," Sasuke stated.
"Yeah," Naruto said as he walked to Kyoko and others, "You ok," They nodded.
"Can you give it back?" Kyoko asked.
"I'll guard it," Kakashi said, "The cart and your merchandise was destroyed." "It's ok. I can easily replace them," Kyoko said, "Are you sure you can protect it, though, it is of great importance."
"What's in the scroll?" Sakura asked.
"It's will help improve the standing between the Sand and Leaf," Kakashi said
as he put the scroll into his backpack Naruto removed a shard of rock from
his side.
"You ok?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah I'm...," Naruto turned around to see Sakura trying to bandage a scratch
on Sasuke's face. Sasuke was pulled his head away from Sakura every time she
tried.
"I don't believe this," Naruto muttered.
**************************************************************************** **
"Are you sure?" asked the Hokage.
"It's been confirmed. Naruto's mission has turned to a Ranked A mission. You
and your squadron are to go and try to catch up," Hokage said.
"Yes sir," Haku said as turned to her Anbu team and nodded, "We are to catch up
and escort Team 7. Expect Stone and Grass ninjas. Expected to meet Missing Nins Kyo of the Stone and Kaoru of the Grass,"
"Kyo the Legend Killer?" One asked.
"Kaoru the angel of death?" Another asked.
"Yes. We will meet up with Anbu Fox," Haku said, "Got it?" Everyone nodded then
disappeared.
**************************************************************************** **
Sakura hummed a song as she walked. She was trying to get her mind off the fact
she could die on this mission.
'I'm going to kill Kakashi for this! I'm too beautiful to die!' Inner Sakura
screamed. Naruto was walk quietly along side Sasuke. Naruto was completely
focused for oncoming attacks.
Naruto stepped on a root that was out of the ground and heard a crack.
"Move!" Kakashi yelled as Naruto crossed his arms to block as the ground
exploded sending him into the air.
"A wood trap bomb," Kakashi said, "Everyone duck!" A log swung over their
heads.
"Move back now!" Kakashi yelled as the tree exploded into a rain of wooden
blades.
'It's wood,' Sasuke through as he jumped onto his back making seals, "Katon
Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Sasuke torched the wood blades. The wooden blade then became
burning wooden blades.
"Shit!" Sasuke yelled as he rolled as the blades hit the ground.
"You think a low level fire attack like that would stop my attack?" A voice
asked as cocoon of petals came out of the ground then opened to reveal a rather
beautiful woman. She had white hair with pink tints and red eyes. She smirked as
she looked them over
"Kaoru of the Grass I take it," Kakashi said, "I'll have to finish this
quickly," He gripped his headband.
"The Sharingan on the first time we meet?" Kaoru asked, "I'm honored. But that
kid is more of a threat and he should be dead by now,"
**************************************************************************** ***
Naruto bounced off the ground.
"I have no experience with Stone and Grass. Can't predict them," Naruto growled pulling
himself up. He jumped away spinning as the ground exploded in spikes. The spikes continued as
Naruto dodged them.
"You're not bad, dodging those attacks," A man commented. He was a bit on the
bulky side. He wore a Stone uniform and headband.
"The Missing-Nin Kyo of the Stone," Naruto said as he spun pulling out his Anbu
sword.
"So you're an Anbu. You're barely 12," Kyo said. Naruto growled.
"I am Uzumaki Naruto. I am part of the Leaf's assassination Anbu squadron,"
Naruto said, "Bring it on,"
"Quake stomp!" Kyo yelled as he stomped the ground. The ground exploded as it
traveled at Naruto. Naruto bounced off a tree and over the shockwave.
"Mokudon Hijutsu Jukai Koudan!" Kaoru's voice echoed.
"The 1st Hokage's jutsu?" Naruto asked as dodged Kyo's kunai.
"Your 1st Hokage was a ninja from the Grass," Kyo explained, "But it's me however that
you should worry about,"
"Katon Housenka!" Naruto yelled as he shot out blasts of fire.
"Mudslide barrier!" Kyo yelled as mud came out of his mouth. The fire balls
disappeared on the wall
'He can't see,' Naruto said as he charged in with his sword, "Chakra katana!"
Naruto's sword blazes as he put it over his head as he came down. Suddenly the
mud shot out and hit Naruto's chest. He flew back but grabbed a branch and
turned around.
"You thought I couldn't see?" Kyo asked as the shield came down.
**************************************************************************** ***
"Mokudon Hijutsu Jukai Koudan!" Kaoru yelled as a forest came out of the
ground. Kakashi jumped around as tree and vines as tried to attack him. Sasuke was
using the Devil Wind Shuriken to cut through the plants as they came at him.
Behind him were Sakura and the others.
"Sasuke! Sakura! Protect everyone," Kakashi ordered as he stood on a twisted
tree and pulled his headband off to reveal a red eye with black ring and three
flames.
'The Sharingan!' Sasuke thought, 'Only the Uchiha should have it,'
"Come on," Kakashi said.
**************************************************************************** ***
The battle had became a sword fight. Naruto jumped back and bounced off a tree.
He flew at Kyo who knocked Naruto away.
"Not bad kid. Mud spike!" Kyo yelled as mud exploded out of his mouth and flew
at Naruto who turned making dozens of seals.
"Suiton Suiryuudan no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as he let out a dragon shaped blast
of water destroying the spike and hitting Kyo. Naruto grabbed onto a near by
branch. He couldn't grab onto stuff with chakra. The water passed as a rock hit
the ground.
"Kawarimi no Jutsu," Naruto said, "To pull that on me. He's good,"
"Secret skill! Medaus glance!" Kyo yelled as he appeared behind Naruto. A pair of gray
beam came from his eyes. Naruto blocked it with his sword but it turned to stone
the spread to his arm.
"What the!?" Naruto screamed.
"The secret art of the Stone. You're going to turn into a statue, now," Kyo said as hegrinned, "Been fun messing with you," He turned to move away.
"Mess with this!" Naruto yelled as he pulled out a kunai and threw it. Kyo
dodged it easily and disappeared.
"Focus!" Naruto yelled to himself. His eyes turned red and with a ring of black
and three black circles, ""A poison type chakra, so I'll nullify it with
Chakra." Naruto let out a blast of chakra to his arm.
"Naruto!" A familiar voice yelled. Naruto turned to see the Anbu coming.
****************************************************************************
"Kaoru! Anbu are coming!" Kyo yelled as he came to where Kaoru was fighting.
She was in bad shape. Her arm had two kunais in her elbow.
"Idiot. Ruination cloud!" Kyo yelled as the ground exploded sending thick
clouds of dust all over the place. Kyo jumped and grabbed Kaoru when no one
could see.
"What's going on!?" Sakura yelled.
"You got lucky Kakashi! I'll kill you next time!" Kaoru screamed.
"Hidden Mist no jutsu!" A voice yelled as water from the ground came up and
mixed with the dust pulling it down. It revealed Anbu in front of them. The
leader walked to Kakashi and took off her mask to reveal Haku.
"You ok?" Haku asked. Kakashi had all sorts of cuts in his upper body from the
all the razor shape vines attacks.
"I'm ok but it's Naruto who's in trouble," Kakashi said. Naruto walked from
behind the Anbu.
"I'm not in the best of shape," Naruto joked as he held out his stone arm, "I'm
a bit stoned right now,"
Author's Note
I hope this is better in terms of spelling and grammar. I didn't know about the Obito bit
but it's too late to change I guess. It'll screw up the timeline so sorry. I'm working on the next
chapter but I have other works to deal with and exams are coming up. I got a snowboard trip this
thursday so I'll be busy. I'll try and get the next chapter up as soon as I can.
Thanks goes out of my pre-readers who help edit this chapter. Unclear- Destiny and Lita
