Chap. 4 Fire of the Soul

Naruto couldn't stop rubbing his head the fact that it was still hurting from being stuck in a tree because of Sakura-chan. The entire day was awkward for team seven Sakura and Naruto kept quite a distance from each other and kept their eyes away from one another. They were too embarrassed by the previous night Kakashi could feel the tension in the air catching his fellow comrades in an intimate scene. Kakashi could only sigh seeing how his team mates where still teenagers none the less. Kakashi decided it be best to rest and have lunch to replenish there bodies. As they sat by fire enjoying their rations Kakashi could see both teens still avoiding one another.

Naruto would take quick glances over to Sakura he couldn't bring himself to confront her about the incident the previous night he was too embarrassed. Sakura hated not being able to get close and talk to Naruto-kun because of last night ("damn it things are strange between me and Naruto-kun ahhh I cant believe he almost kissed me until Kakashi-sensei interrupted us wait did I really want Naruto-kun to kiss me").

Naruto could see from the corner of his eye Skaura-chan was blushing slightly. Team seven continued to head deeper within the forest as they pasted mountain small pebbles began to fall. Kakashi felt uneasy about this "Naruto, Sakura be on your guard it seems were not alone". Sakura and Naruto both looked at one another and back to their team leader nodding. As they neared the corner of the mountain pass the earth beneath them collapsed swallowing all three leaf-nins.

"Hehehe seems like they weren't any trouble huh Arumaku" spoke the only kuonichi of the team. "Listen Haya you and Mamoru go down and retrieve the scrolls." The two rock-nins disappeared to the cratered cracked earth where they saw their enemies perished yet as they got closer Haya and Mamoru where to surprised to see logs instead of human remains. Haya turned to where Arumaku was at "they used Kawarimi no Jutsu body replacement technique"

Two explosive kunai landed in front of the rock-nins as they saw the flaming note they quickly retreated back the massive explosion sent dirt and rock every where among the smoke they could see Kakashi as he held out his kunai and had his Sharingan ready. "It seems you guys are trespassing within our borders this is fire country I take it you're after the scrolls."

Haya and Mamoru were stunned seeing who it was in front of them Arumaku appeared next to his comrades "well, well if it isn't Konoha's copy ninja Kakashi I see we underestimated you". Kakashi smirks recognizing the voice "This is a surprise it's been a long time hasn't it rock-fist Arumaku". Arumaku wore the traditional rock-nin cream vest their left arm covered in a long black sleeve while their right arm was bare yet Arumaku had a protective arm piece covered in spikes. They had half along kilt that covered the left leg while having black pants up to their feet. He was tall as Kakashi he had spiky black hair reaching his shoulders yellow eyes. Haya had short green hair and blue eyes and had quite a figure. Mamoru was bald having tattoos covering his arm his eyes were a deep purple.

"Naruto and Sakura you handle his comrades I'll take on Arumaku". Five Naruto clones ran towards Mamoru as they swung at him viscously Mamoru blocked every kick and punch by the clones. Sakura stood in front of her opponent both kunoichi starred each other down Haya spoke first"Hmph aren't you a pretty little girl" Sakura only smirked as she charged her opponent.

Mamoru grabbed his weapon from his holster it was long whip like chain piece of chain having kunai blades sticking out as he whipped it around at lighting speed he managed to crush all the clones. Arumaku closed his eyes as he faced Kakashi "I know about your sharingan it seems I have to use some hand to hand combat against you ehh Kakashi" As Arumaku charged at Kakashi at lighting speed he was very quick he quickly swung his fist down at Kakashi averted the blow leaving three holes in the ground. His right arm that had the protective piece on it was used as a defensive and offensive weapon retracing three metal spikes within its hidden holster.

Haya's hands moved quickly to perform her earth jutsu "Doton: Iwayado Kuzushi Earth release rock lodging destruction" As huge boulders came descending from the mountain top towards Sakura. The pink kunoichi looked up to see the boulders coming down at her seeing how Sakura was distracted Haya performed another jutsu "Doton: Retsudotensho Earth Release: Split Earth Turn Around Palm" Rocks around the ground came toward Sakura. The pink kunoichi smiled as she decimated every boulder that came towards her. The rocks had no chance they where no match for her emissive strength as Sakura turned each boulder into pebbles. Haya froze seeing her earth jutsu having no affect on the girl. Sakura round house kicked every rock that came at her as she came closer to Haya Sakura punched the ground as the earth collapsed by the sheer force off her fist Haya still in a state off shock her legs where trapped by the earth, Sakura saw this as an opening as she elbowed Haya sending the rock-nin a few feet in the air before crashing down unconscious. Sakura fell to her knees exhausted by the use of her chakra.

Naruto couldn't land a hit on Mamoru as his whip kept chain kept crushing Naruto's clones as Naruto reached for his kunai right behind him appeared another Mamoru as his whip chain circled Naruto's leg and sung him up in the air and back down to the ground "hehe you should always watch your blind spot kid I am an excellent user of the Meisai Gakure no Jutsu Hiding Camouflage Technique" Mamoru's chain whip digged deep into Naruto's legs as the kunai blades were soaking in Naruto's blood. Mamoru continued to swing his whip with Naruto attached to it. Mamoru displayed such uncanny strength as Naruto came crashing down into the earth again he could feel his body ache in pain. "NARUTO!" came Sakura's voice as she ran towards Naruto Mamoru laughed as Sakura pulled her left arm back to throw a punch she came crashing down her heading hitting a rock as she hit the ground she failed to notice a trip wire Mamoru placed.

Mamoru grabbed the end of his chain whip and throw it into a tree the end of the whip embed into the tree as Naruto's legs were still rapped around the whip chain. Mamoru had a sadistic look on his face as he saw the unconscious Sakura laying there. Reached for his second chain whip as he wrapped it around Sakura she let out a screaming howl "AHHHHH" as Mamoru tighten the whip. Naruto looked at Sakura seeing her in pain he could feel the Kyūbi's chakra emerge. "le…let…her…go" Each word was hard to say. Mamoru looked at Naruto and laughed as he stepped on Sakura's head "I've always hated you leaf-nins it gives me great pleasure seeing you squirm it seems you feel something for this girl I take it she's your women right hehe" as he held the whip in his arm holding Sakura up so Naruto could get a good look at her "say boy how would you like to see me have my way with her you'd like that wouldn't you hehehe"

Sakura let out a whimper as the chain tightened around her body. "YOU BASTARD!" With that Naruto was once again facing the Kyūbi's prison "It seems boy that you need my help yet again".

"No I don't need that power I just need to you to understand that I need to use my own chakra and power". "If you don't use my chakra it seems that girl will die"

"Listen I want to use my own strength I want to protect Sakura I don't want give in to your chakra because I may hurt her again I have to use my own strength sense I LOVE HER!" The Kyūbi smirked at Naruto's statement "it seems I have no choice your feelings for her are true and sense you don't want use my chakra fearing you'll harm her. We both may end up dieing I have no choice I'll intertwine our chakras in this way you can use mine and yours at will, this will allow use too combine our chakras together and not transform you. I'll let you be able to now call on my tails so you won't lose your conscious but remember boy I expect you to win so that I can live on in your kin that girl would make such a suitable mate farewell".

With that the Kyūbi disappears leaving a shocked Naruto to wonder the Kyūbi's words. Back in the world of the living Naruto's body begins to convulse as blue and red chakra engulf him the chains break off his legs as Naruto rises up he lets out a fox like howl. Mamoru can't even begin to understand what has happened as Naruto disappears in front of him. "Odama Rasengan! Great Ball Spiraling Sphere" Mamoru doesn't even turn around in time as the great Rasengan hits his arm that is holding the chain whip his body is thrown back leaving his left arm behind. "Don't you ever say you'll have you're way with my girl!" Sakura could only make out the last part she was semi conscious as Naruto nears her and breaks the chains around her.

Mamoru lets out a cry as the blood doesn't seem to stop flowing from his left shoulder. Kakashi notice's the bright light coming from ahead it was a mixture of red and blue. Arumaku saw his chance and grabs his left fist both his arms are turning to rock as he smash's both arms too the ground sending a shock wave as the earth and ground shatter around Kakashi the leaf-nin disappears from the area. Arumaku appears next to the bloody Mamoru and Haya passed out on Arumaku's shoulder as he helps out his fellow comrade Arumaku is amazed at Naruto's chakra flow he never felt anything like that before "it seems we failed this time Kakashi we didn't take into account you had such strong nins with you especially that boy till we meet again Kakashi".

With that the rock-nins disappear. Kakashi rushes over to Naruto and Sakura. Naruto exhausted by his dual use of both chakras Naruto collapses. Sakura fishing healing herself rushes to Naruto's side she can see the boy is clearly tired as she places his head on her lap. Kakashi notices the scene and decides not to interrupt them Sakura looked down at Naruto as she stroked his head she couldn't help but shed a tear "Naruto-kun" she let out a sad smile ("he called me his woman ") She could hear a soft groan come from the tired blonde as she leaned in forward blushing as she kisses his forehead "thank you Naruto-kun".

The blonde shinobi only smiles. "It seems he's ok it looks like he was able to use both chakras simultaneously" Sakura looked at Kakashi blushing as she nodded in agreement. Naruto slowly opened his eyes he noticed a pare of emerald eyes staring at him he blushed slightly as Sakura continued to stroke his head "are you feeling better Naruto-Kun" The blonde shinobi lefts him self up he notices the entire area is devastated the earth is torn apart everywhere "yeah Sakura-chan I am fine now, how long have I been out" "I would say about two hours." As Kakashi made his way towards Naruto "don't worry there gone now that was amazing Naruto you were able to use both chakras at the same time"

Naruto only grinned at his team leader as he turns to Sakura "Sakura-chan by the way are you all right I remembered that bastard had his chain whip around you." Sakura stood up showing Naruto that her wound s have already healed. As Kakashi turns to face the direction of the village he notices that Hitamori village is only about tow miles from where they are "alright everyone lets move out where almost there" as Kakashi disappears Naruto grabs a hold of Sakura's hand and smiles the pink kunoichi blushes at Naruto's gesture as both leaf -ninsleave hand in hand to follow there sensei.

"What the hell was that back there?" Mamoru asks Arumaku as they continue to head towards there village. "I have no clue Mamoru but one thing is for certain there is no possible way that a single being can poses two kinds of chakra that are different colors this is an interesting development we need to report this "As the three rock-nins disappeared into the landscape.
