A/N Thanks again for the reviews. I've also noticed the storys now made it into a few C2 groups. This was well beyond my expectations for this story. Thanks again all. Sorry for the slow update. Enjoy the new chapter Technique.

Naruto, focusing chakra to his legs, ran at his brother, launching a combo of wild haymakers. Katsuro, whislt maintaining an expression of boredom throughout, ducked his little brothers final punch, taking out Naruto's ankles with a sweeping low kick. Naruto landed hard on his back, and quickly rollled to dodge a following downward punch from Katsuro. Naruto jumped to his feet and retreated, leaping back to create distance between them, as the older Uzumaki's fist smash through the ground where his head was an instant ago. Katsuro, not removing his fist from its small crater in the ground, looked up at Naruto grinning sadisticly.

"That all you got, kid?"

Naruto's eyes narrowed in frustration. "That does it! Shadow Clone Technique!"

Five replicas appeared around the blonde boy, and ran in unison at their combatant.They split into three pairs, two attacking from the front, two from the left and the final pair from the right. Katsuro, leaned away from a pair of poorly aimed punched from the front pair, then lept back into a backwards handstand to avoid two attempted sweeping kicks from two clones attacking from both his right and left. Landing back on his feet, he launched into a backflip, somersaulting over the two remaining clones who had snuck around behind in an attempt at a flank maneouver. Coming to land, down on one knee, he looked up to see the group of clones now in an unorganised huddle.

"My turn" he grinned. He ran forward, breaking into a spinning triple kick, elimaniting three clones with roundhouse kicks before the other three Naruto's realised they were under attack. Quickly the remaining three took stance, forming a small V. Katsuro charged the group, taking out the middle Naruto, which tried to block as the other two retreated, leaping to each side in unison. As the head of V exploded in smoke, the remaining two zigzagged back towards Katsuro, leaping towards him, one towards his front, the other at his unguarded back. Katsuro, predicting the move, quickly dashed towards the Naruto flying at his front and grabbed Naruto in mid-air, half turning to maitain the momentum, and threw him towards the other Naruto also in the air. The clones collided and tumbled to the ground in an explosion of smoke, leaving a single Naruto facedown in the dirt.

"Had enough yet, kid?" asked Katsuro.

"I'm not...done...yet" stammered Naruto, still face down.

"Really? So...you choosing to eat dirt!"

"Shut the hell up!" yelled Naruto his face finally rising from the ground. He rose to his feet painfully slow.

"One more try...Mass Shadow Clone Technique!"

Suddenly Katsuro was surrounded by hundreds of copies of his brother.

"Well, well. This is getting interesting."

Voices responded in unison from all directions. "Are you ready!" echoed Naruto's voice.

"Hurry up and come"

The ring of clones tightened around Katsuro and his oppenents ran in. He became a blur, dodging attacks from all directions, blocking and counterattacking. Blocking a kick, he grabbed the clones ankle, he swun it wildly in a circle, any clones within the range exploding on impact. He then released the clone, which hurtled back the crowd, a column of small explosions erupting in its path as it collided with other clones. Taking advantage of the tiny window of time, Katsuro channelled chakra to his legs and lept high into the air, his hands forming a single seal.

"To hell with this! Mass Shadow Clone Technique" yelled Katsuro as hundreds of copies of himself appeared alongside him in midair.

"Everyone, you know the drill" said the true Katsuro as they started to fall back to earth. An army of clones rained down upon Narutos own army, each Katsuro clone landing on a Naruto clone with either a high impact knee or kick.Clones exploded everywhere as the attacks connected driving into the earth, the would be battlefield soon littered with small craters where each clone came crashing to the ground. Within seconds all that remained were the real Naruto and Katsuro in a small crater of their own, the older brother standing over his now unconscious little brother, who had taken the full force of a knee to the side of the head.

"Hmm ok maybe i went a little overboard. You OK man?...kid?"

--------------------------------------------------

Uchiha Sasuke, lay staring at the hospital cieling.

"How the fuck do i get out of this damn village" he thought. ANBU guards had been stationed to monitor his movement constantly. Even now they were stationed at all exits from his hospital room.

"Yo" Sasuke was shaken from his daydreaming by a voice at the door. Hatake Kakashi stood leaning casually at the doorway, arms folded across his chest.

"Looks like dead last kicked your ass" teased Kakashi.

"Shutup" grumbled Sasuke.

"Anyways, dont get the wrong idea, I'm not here by choice, but seems the Hokage's forcing me to continue being your sensei."

"Whatever"

"Yeah thats what i thought you'd say. Anyways I'm also here to tell you that since we are remaining a team, we'll need a new replacement for Naruto, and here he is."

A 13 year old boy walked into the room. He wore long black pants and and black and blue shirt. "Yo, Sasuke-kun. Nice to meet you"

"This is Raiko. Recently exhiled from the Lightning Country. When he approached Leaf Village, asking for shelter the Hokage thought his talents as a ninja may come in handy for the village. We do need the extra numbers." said Kakashi.

"Whatever, just dont get in my way." said Sasuke.

"You always such a whiny little bitch, man?" laughed Raiko.

"WHAT!" screamed Sasuke.

"Hey hey, Sasuke calm down, lectured Kakashi, he was just kidding."

"Yeah dude, chill"

"Well I have a mission now, so i'll leave you two to get aquainted. Later" with that Kakashi dissapeared in a poof of smoke.

Raiko stepped forward towards Sasuke's bed looking directly in the eyes.

"Allright brat, lets cut the shit. MANGEKYO SHARINGAN"

His eyes turned red and formed bladed shurikens, as Sasukes world turned to black.
