Ok the answer to the two people who Neji and Shikamaru meet are: Tayuya and Kidoumaru(the spider guy). Graviola you got it right!Unfortunately I am not going to elaborate on any of the other fights except in a few short flashbacks in the next chapter. That means theres not going to be any Kabuto vs. Kakashi glory fight. But I have gone all out on a full scale Sasuke vs. Sakura fight. Enjoy! Oh yeah because I took such a long time putting this up, this chapter is going to be uber-long(okay so its not that long but i tried!). Thank you to everyone who reviewed you are tremendously appreciated. Enjoy!
Sakura shines against Sasuke! The Fight of Unspoken Words!
Kakashi watched his opponent in silence. The white-haired man stared back at him, a mocking smile on his face.
"May I ask how did you break my Genjutsu, Kakashi-san?"
"It wasn't me. It was Ino. When she attempted to use her Shintenshin she realised that they realised that they did not have minds. We then realised that they were the Genjutsu not the users. So I let her take over my mind, with my Sharingan activated. Thus, we were able to see beyond the Genjutsu. She then attempted to assault your mind through my Sharingan. She was unsuccessful of course. But it was enough to make you break the Genjutsu,"
"Fascinating. But I must warn you. You will not go any further," Kabuto said, the light reflecting off his glasses. He let out a chuckle before green chakra enveloped his hands.
Kakashi shifted his stance. This would be dangerous.
Shikamaru eyed his red-haired opponent. The last time he had fought her, he almost died. He had improved drastically but with that curse seal of hers, it could get troublesome. If only I had someone with me, it would be less troublesome, he thought to himself absentmindedly.
As though on cue, another figure stepped out. Recognition flashed across Shikamaru face. Then he let out a sigh.
"Oi Kiba. What took you so long?"
The next moment, kunais were flashing in every direction, disappearing into the sandy abyss around, Shikamaru, Tayuya and Kiba. And Akamaru.
Sakura stared into Sasuke's deep red irises. She tried not to show any fear but she knew that her jade orbs betrayed her feelings. With his Sharingan activated, I can only use my strength and medical jutsus, Sakura thought as she donned her black leather gloves. Then she let green chakra envelope her hands.
Seeing, that Sasuke would not attack first, Sakura lunged at him, determination clear in her eyes. Sasuke only smirked as he blocked her attack, disarmed her and launched his own counterattack. So predictable, he thought to himself. As a shruiken made contact with Sakura, she exploded leaving just a log. Sakura appeared behind him ready to sever his muscles with her chakra blades, but suddenly stopped. Stunned, she slowly turned her head towards her hand, inches away from Sasuke.
"Chakra strings," Sasuke answered her unspoken question. He smirked.
Sakura only smiled. A thin, deadly smile. She quivered slightly as if she could not contain the power bubbling within her. She let out a high scream as the strings snapped, like twigs.
Sasuke's eyes widened. He almost did not have enough time to react. He jumped back the chakra blades severing a few strands of hair. Seeing an opening, Sakura lunged at him.
She hurled a kunai with an exploding tag on it. Sasuke slid back avoiding the fatal explosion. Through his Sharingan he could see Sakura rushing through the smoke. Aiming carefully he threw a few shruikens at the advancing figure. She dodged them effectively save for two, one grazing her shoulder and the other, her leg. Time to use it, Sakura thought grimly as she rushed out of the smoke, towards Sasuke.
"Sakura Rendan!" she screamed, using a boulder as leverage and jumping into the sky. As she charged towards Sasuke she prepared herself for what would come next. She grimaced, bracing herself for the pain.
Sasuke did not bother looking up to face Sakura. Her movements had been obvious from the start. She thought that she would be able to hurt him using the element of surprise. He smiled. Surprising a Sharingan user was not easy. As she was about to punch him. He looked up. The next thing Sakura knew, she was being strangled by the Uchiha who regarded her wit a cold stare. He had an impassive look on his face even while he was killing her, slowly.
"You were weak. You thought that a few clever Kawarimi's would be able to subdue me. You were wrong," he tightened his grip, "I spared you and Naruto the last time. Now I will kill both of you,"
He slowly reached down for a kunai. Then pointing it at Sakura's neck, he said, "It ends here, Sakura," The kunai was about to pierce Sakura's flesh and sever her tendons when Sasuke let out an agonised scream He dropped to the ground, one hand pinning Sakura to a boulder and the other clutching his curse seal.
"It's a modification of Tsunade-shisou's Ranshinsou. I modified it so that I could use it without my hands. All I needed was to come into contact with my opponent. In this case you strangling me was the contact. The exploding tag was just a diversion. The natural chakra that radiates around my body seeped into your nervous and chakra system, thus confusing the body and turning your chakra system haywire. Your curse seal reacted violently to my jutsu, rendering you a helpless puppy," Sakura managed to spurt out, despite the pressure on her throat.
Sasuke let out a pained shriek. The curse seal was slowly crawling to life. In an act of fury, he hurled Sakura into a boulder.
"Sakura-chan!" the white-eyed Hyuuga heiress cried as she jumped down from a sand dune and caught Sakura. Naruto jumped down too, landing perfectly in front of Hinata and Sakura.
"Hinata attend to Sakura-chan. I will handle Sasuke-teme," Naruto called out his face contorted with guilt and fury. He thinks he's to blame for Sakura-chan's situation, Hinata realised as she nodded her head in agreement.
Naruto turned his attention to Sasuke. The curse seal was taking over his body slowly. It was reaching Stage Two. Two deformed, shrivelled wings were forming on Sasuke's back. As the metamorphosis completed, Sasuke's screams ended. He raised his head to face Naruto. His eyes flashed with bloodlust as he jumped into the air charging at Naruto.
Naruto grimaced as he let the Kyuubi encompass him. He would need that strength. He let out a furious war cry as he bounded towards Sasuke, a tail swishing behind him.
Sakura blinked her eyes open. She saw two people, no two monsters, fighting hurling kunai and jutsus at each other, both with an intent to kill. She had seen what Naruto was capable of in Kyuubi form. She winced at the thought of the scar she bore. She knew all too well. And Sasuke would kill anyone in his path. He had said so himself. She had to stop them.
She tried to pull herself up, but fell back once more, coughing out blood. She ignored the blurry figure that looked like Hinata telling her to rest. She had to reach them. Slowly, ever slowly she pulled her self up. The pain only got worse. Still she managed to sit up. She spat out more blood. Then she pushed herself up, forcing every inch of her body to move. Move!
Naruto bounded dodging the projectiles thrown by his opponent. No, his prey. He would bring Sasuke-teme back or kill him!
"Katon: Housenka no jutsu" Sasuke shouted, as he blew hundreds of tiny fireballs at Naruto, all blackened by the cursed chakra he was using. The Kyuubi vessel effectively dodged all of the fireballs, and swatted out a few with his tail. As Naruto leaped towards Sasuke a feline ferocity glinted in his eyes.
"Haaaaa!" he screamed as he punched Sasuke. Sasuke simply stabbed him in the abdomen, which was exposed when Naruto lifted hi arm to punch Sasuke. He simply exploded leaving a puff of smoke. Sasuke jumped into the air. He could not sense the real Naruto, but he was probably planning something. Then he saw Naruto. He was below with a Kage Bunshin, a swirling sphere of horrible red chakra held by both. It was larger than the last time he had seen it. Sasuke smiled as he performed a set of seals. A small black ball formed in his palm, quivering and chirping like a thousand birds.
Then he dived downwards, slicing through the air. Naruto leapt up too, his Bunshin at his side.
"Oodama Rasengan!"
"Chidori!"
"Stop!"
Naruto whizzed round in shock, his Bunshin disappearing and his Rasengan turning significantly smaller. Sasuke smirked, taking the opportunity and driving his Chidori through Naruto. Naruto cried out in agony as he plummeted to the ground, dragging Sasuke with him. Sasuke withdrew his hand from Naruto and landed on the sand, uninjured. Slowly, he walked towards Naruto, a kunai in his hand. He watched Naruto eyeing him with a killing intent, oblivious to a quivering Sakura. As he reached Naruto he lifted his kunai about to throw it when he stopped. He could not bring himself to kill his best friend.
"Can you kill him?" Sakura asked her eyes brimming with tears and something more. Rage. "I DARE YOU, KILL NARUTO! YOU'LL BE PROVING THAT YOU'RE STRONG NOW. KILL HIM! BECOME YOUR BROTHER. THAT'S WHAT ITACHI ALWAYS WANTED. KILL HIM!"
Sasuke stopped, his fists shaking as he tried to plunge the kunai into the helpless boy in front of him. He could not.
"You're still the same. You're the same. You're still my Sasuke-kun," Sakura said softly, noticing his hesitation. A smile of triumph and bliss crept onto her face as she collapsed, only to be caught by Hinata.
Sasuke's knees buckled at the last sentence. His Sharingan began flickering on and off and his curse seal began pulsating, expanding and contracting. Something within him was fighting the curse seal. Something he thought he had lost, the moment he had joined Orochimaru. A heart. Suddenly, as sudden as the spasm had come, he collapsed, unconscious.
Sakura Rendan- Sakura Combo- a diversion used by Sakura. No real move.
Katon Housenka no Jutsu- Fire Mystical Phoenix Technique- A jutsu used by Sasuke wher he breathes out lots of fireballs
Oodama Rasengan- Big Rasengan- A new version of Rasengan thatrequires a bunshin to help him
Did that suck? My fight scene was horriblesobs! And I know it seems unrealistic that Naruto would be able to turn around and stop moving his rasengan, but he was only in 1-tail form and to do Oodama Rasengan he needed his Bunshin. I am sorry that the end was so anticlimatic. But if you still liked it please Rea and Review! Constructive criticsism is accepted.Nextchapter: The Ultimate Fluff Scene!
