Chapter 186: Naruto VS Sasuke

The two glared at each other.

"So where are we going to fight?" asked Naruto.

"Where do you want to fight?" asked Sasuke.

"How about the Valley." Said Naruto.

"Fine with me." Said Sasuke.

The two glared at each other when Naruto suddenly yelled out, "Hey Nami!"

Nami got up from what she was doing, "What?" she asked irritated.

"Which way to the valley?" asked Naruto.

"What?" asked Nami confused.

"Sasuke and Naruto agreed to fight." Said Kiba.

"You have got to be kidding me." Muttered Nami with her eye twitching.

And so with Usopp volunteering to watch the ship they headed to the valley.

"What is Sasuke doing?" thought Zoro as they headed to valley.

"Man I can't believe Usopp is going to be missing such a good fight." Said Kiba.

"You don't get it." Said Ino.

"What don't I get?" asked Kiba.

"Never mind." Muttered Ino.

They arrived at the valley.

"If either of you fall into the river than you automatically lose." Said Isaribi.

"What why?" asked Sasuke.

"Because I can't swim you idiot." Said Naruto.

Sasuke scowled when Naruto said that to him.

"What can't even come up with a comeback?" asked Naruto.

"Shut up! Dobe!" yelled Sasuke.

"Haven't heard that one in a while." Said Naruto.

Sasuke got in position, while Naruto cracked his knuckles.

"Ready?" asked Naruto.

Sasuke smirked when he said that.

Naruto unleashed many clones, the clones mobbed Sasuke who punched his way through the clones.

Sasuke gritted his teeth, there were too many. And seemingly never ending. He decided to unsheathe his swords. He spun around and cut away many of the clones.

"Is that all you got?" mocked Sasuke.

That angered Naruto. He went into half demon form and punched him. He went flying.

"I guess you can't handle this." Said Naruto.

"Watch me." muttered Sasuke, he sheathed his swords and began to fight Naruto hand to hand.

The two appeared to be equally matched, but in different ways. Sasuke had skill, he dodged and knew when to strike. Naruto on the other hand had powers. Any time his fist collided with Naruto it really hurt.

However both of them had speed on their side and appeared to be easily match on that.

"Do you think they're just going to tire themselves out?" asked Robin.

"No…" said Gaara, "This is only the beginning."

Luffy heard Gaara and somehow knew that he was right.

As the fight went on, Sasuke backed away.

"What, are you tired?" asked Naruto.

"Yes and no" said Sasuke taking out his swords once again, "I was just getting tired of doing that over and over!"

Naruto smirked, he knew had to use his tails as the weapon this time.

Sasuke ran towards Naruto and tried to slice, but Naruto tried to dodge him. Naruto had an advantage over Sasuke. His tails could act like armor.

Sasuke was now at a severe disadvantage by using his swords while he still had speed and skill on his side, Naruto had the speed, power, defense and the ability to clone himself.

Chances were that if things continued the way they were going, Sasuke was going to lose.

And there was a someone who realized it…

Zoro gritted his teeth. This fight wasn't going to end well… not for Sasuke at least.

Sasuke contented to try to get Naruto. But each time Naruto dodged who he blocked with one his tails.

"You're not very good at this, are you?" he asked.

Sasuke gritted his teeth, that was when he managed to reach into his pocket and take out a match.

"Oh man!" said Naruto.

"Why are you afraid kit?" asked Kyubi, "Have you forgotten already?"

"Oh yeah…" thought Naruto.

Sasuke lit the match, he tossed into the air an then "Grand Fire Ball!" he shouted.

The large fireball aimed for Naruto, however it suddenly dissipated and Naruto clones suddenly appeared.

"What…" said Sasuke.

"I'm not going to do what you just tried to do." muttered Naruto.

The clones jumped into the river, which started steaming when they did.

"Naruto's angry…" whispered Hinata.

"What do you mean?" asked Chopper.

"Isn't it obvious?" asked Isaribi, "Sasuke crossed a line."

Zoro decided to close his eyes, he didn't know why, but he knew he had to be there for some reason.

"You just tried to set me on fire!" yelled Naruto.

"So what." Said Sasuke.

"So what! You just set me on fire!" yelled Naruto.

"This is fight." Said Sasuke.

Naruto gritted his teeth.

"He's not thinking straight." Said Kyubi, "Don't blame him."

Naruto however didn't pay attention to the demon in his head.

"You crossed a line!" yelled Naruto.

"So what?" asked Sasuke with a slight crazed smile, that was when Sasuke got into position to do a certain move… the Chidori!

"Two can play at this game!" said Naruto.

That was when he began to use his half demon Rasengan!

Both attacks were formed, they ran towards each other when suddenly.

BAM!

Both of them were sent into the river.

"Will you stop this fighting!" yelled Luffy, "This has gotten pointless! Just stop this right now!"

Sasuke who managed to get out of the water himself just glared at Luffy.

Naruto on the hand was fetch out of the water by Isaribi.

That night everything was silent on the ship. Very little was spoken. Really the only thing that was said was between Kiba and Usopp.

"What happened?" asked Usopp.

"Don't ask." responded Kiba.

That night Sasuke was sitting alone by the Tangerine trees looking at the stars.

"It's been a long time Sasuke,…" said a voice.

Sasuke began to sweat he recognized that voice.

He turned around and Kidomaru, the spider like man he fought when he retrieved the Chidori scroll.

Sasuke got ready to fight.

"We're not here to fight you fucking idiot!" came another voice.

He turned to see Tayuya, the woman who posed at Ms. Father's Day in Alabasta.

"What do you want then?" asked Sasuke.

"Orochimaru wants to once again extend his invitation to join Sound." Said Kidomaru.

Everything become silent on the deck… after all with what's been going on, was the answer still "No". Or perhaps… Sasuke needed a change of pace…

Next Time: Sasuke gives his answer... which causes huge problems on the ship. What is Sasuke's choice? Will he stay or will he go? Find out next time!

A/N: I was originally planning for the final battle to be in the Valley, but I changed my mind thinking to with something a little more Pirate-y. So... yeah...
