Chapter 12
Ready this time, Naruto hadn't taken his eyes from the bean pole of a ninja even whilst Tsunade had been speaking.
With a smile the boy vanished.
Not good! Not good!
Eyes wide Naruto searched the clearing. Everything was still and silent, the teachers and Kiba all watching expectantly…
SLAM!
Naruto was sent reeling as he was hit numerous times by fists and feet, a punch on the jaw, a kick in the stomach…
To shocked, winded and in pain to cry out Naruto tumbled limply across the hard ground, coming to a stop halfway across the clearing.
"Ow…" he muttered
Opening his eyes the blond found himself with his nose pressed against the dusty ground.
Crap…that had hurt
Clutching his stomach he coughed as he rolled onto his side. Pushing himself up with one hand he rose to his hands and knees.
This guy moved like lightning!
Looking around Naruto found him standing on the other side of the clearing.
Drawing a kunai Naruto dashed across the ground separating them.
Throwing the knife he leapt, knowing the boy would easily dodge, he aimed a kick at his head.
In a flash of speed he was to Naruto's left. Seeing him the blond could do nothing to avoid his attack.
After another beating Naruto found himself once again lying stunned on the ground.
How the hell was he so fast! He wasn't even using any charkra moves…
Enough of this! Let's see how he does against more then one of me!
Standing with a slight shake of his knees he crossed his fingers to make the hand seal…
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto cried.
A crowd of Naruto's filled the clearing but not as many as when he'd fought Kiba. Gritting his teeth Naruto smiled through his grimace. He could feel the strain. His charkra had already been drained.
The boy smiled at this. Not sarcastically or smugly but a true happy smile. It annoyed him. It was as though he wasn't considered a worthy opponent…this was all just a fun game to him.
Quietly a small part of his brain told him that it was just a game, it was only training, nothing serious but it was a darker part of him that suppressed this thought. A dark, ancient part of him…
With a snarl though his teeth the Naruto's leapt forward.
The boy still effortlessly dodged.
Naruto's anger rose as his blows hit nothing but air, his clones dropping like flies around him.
Naruto stood silently watching Lee across the ground that separated them. The wind rustling through the leaves was the only sound in the clearing.
Together they ran forward, Lee covering the ground a lot faster then Naruto.
Aiming, Naruto swept the boys legs out from under him – but he was already gone, wait - above him!
With all his speed Naruto threw himself to the side, rolling hard across the ground.
"Kage bunshin no Jutsu!" he cried.
Just as Lee's leg had been about to slam into Naruto's stomach where he lay momentarily helpless on his back two clones materialised either side of him, catching the boy in mid air.
Pushing with his legs Lee spun, kicking the heads of the clones that held him as the real Naruto threw himself at the black haired nin.
He could feel his movements were too slow…he needed more…more speed…more strength…
Lee's fist stopped abruptly inches from the blond's face which was hidden in shadow.
The boy stared. His fist had been neatly caught in Naruto's hand.
In a flash of speed Naruto's leg shot up landing squarely in Lee's stomach.
Flying backwards he slowed himself with difficulty as he scraped a hand through the ground.
Naruto…?
The blond remained frozen where he stood, his face tilted down, hidden in shadow.
As he raised his head scarlet eyes glinted in the sunlight.
Breathless Lee watched on silently.
What was this change in Naruto? He was completely different, his strength. He'd managed to anticipate his speed…he looked different even…
The blonds stance changed as their eyes locked. A sneering smile spread across his face…
"Stop!" a strong voice commanded.
In a blink of the eye Gai and Jiraiya stood between the two boys. Gob smacked Lee watched with all the grace of a cod fish.
Naruto hesitated, his red eyes flicking over the two.
Twitching the boy suddenly looked upwards, a split second before a huge amount of water crashed over him having seemingly fallen from the sky.
For a long moment everything was very still, everyone staring silently at the dripping Naruto and the huge puddle of water that surrounded him.
Quietly the blond coughed a couple of times. It was quite amazing that he was still standing…
Very slowly as everyone watched him Naruto raised his head, his hair dripping into his eyes, his blue eyes. Then…
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Naruto cried as he waved his arms around frantically, sending droplets of water in every direction. Furiously he spun on the spot, searching for the guilty person as he began to shiver.
Suddenly Kakashi was on Jiraiya's over side, his visible eye curved from his hidden smile.
"Doesn't like water huh?" Kakashi muttered as Naruto continued to splash around furiously.
Folding his arms the sennin smiled. It was good to be right.
"YOU!" Naruto cried as he pointed dramatically at Kakashi as more water flew from his hand at the violence of his movement. The effect was somewhat ruined by the angry step he took forwards, resulting in a loud squelch.
"Sparring's over. Now calm down." Kakashi said carelessly
"CALM DOWN? WHEN I'VE JUST HAD THE CONTENTS OF A RIVER DUMPED OVER MY HEAD?" Naruto ranted as he went off on a tangent to himself.
"Is there a river near by Kakashi? You're the only person here I know to be able to use water Jutsu's…" Jiraiya hinted slyly.
"A pond actually." Was his reply before moving forward towards the ranting Naruto.
"Silence!" Kakashi commanded in a much sterner voice then usual. "I told you to calm down. Sparring is over but your training for today isn't. Now shake hands with Lee for a good fight."
Naruto stood looking dumbfounded at his sensei.
He was about to argue back when he saw the narrowing of Kakashi's eye.
Better not argue…
Wide eyed with indignation and insult Naruto walked over to Lee.
Squelch…squelch…squelch…squelch…squelch…squelch…
