CHAPTER 8

Both swords slashed against the other with blurring speed, throwing hot arcs of lightning around them and burning the low grass to ashes. This went on until they slammed weapons and stared at each other, Ameyuri winked coyly and Naruto's eyebrow twitched in irritation. They pushed away, especially when Naruto commanded Samehada to fill out its purple scales and Ameyuri dragged her blades away as the purple sword started sucking out her chakra through her twin blades, landing a few yards apart.

'Deep breathe,' Naruto closed his eyes for the briefest of moments and his blue arm fins slid out, humming with potent water chakra. He felt a gentle prod on his mind and he opened the gate for his sword to fully connect with him and his eyes snapped open, spinning within itself with the rage of a whirlpool, 'Let's do this,'

Squeal!

The fang sword user squinted at her opponent suspiciously as the boy closed his eyes. She clasped her swords tightly and ran at him, the sword in her left hand curving upwards while the one in her right stabbed forward, just in time for Naruto's eyes to open and she briefly prevented herself from losing her footing at the sheer amount of violence he had in his eyes.

The younger swordsman crossed his blade across his body and a short power tussle ensued as they both shoved against each other but the taller and more muscled Namikaze won but slid his left leg away from an arc of lightning that scorched the ground. He sliced another arc out of the air with his purple sword, stabbed forward at another arc and the serrated teeth of his sentient sword opened wide, swallowing the bolt of electricity whole and spitting out a combination of water and lightning at the attacker. Naruto followed the combined bolt to its intended victim and watched, rapt, as she swatted the jutsu aside and smoothly spun under his overhead cut, spinning under his outstretched arm and twirled the fang blade in her left hand before stabbing it into Naruto's side, eliciting a shocked yell from his Aburame girlfriend.

"Naruto-kun!" she called and got to her feet but her teacher, Aizen Inuzuka, held her leg in place and simply said.

"Look,"

Naruto's eyes widened fractionally at the fluidity of the lightning users attack and at how easily she had gotten the first tag, but what she had not counted on was the advantage of having Samehada that no other person besides the swords former users provided. No one was sure where Samehada was from or how it was created but a major component of its biological makeup was from a kind of shark called the Owl shark. The Owl shark did not have any eyes, merely a mouthful of sharp, deadly teeth, but it made use of echo location to find its prey, mainly smaller sharks and a few mammals that ventured into his territory in the water, with twice the accuracy of a person using their eyes. After Naruto had been proficient enough to hold his sword in one hand without falling over he was deemed ready to have this connection with his blade. The joint ability couldn't predict the future but it could predict the main probability of the future with only an eight three percent success rate.

He sucked in his belly and the lightning blade sliced into his clothes and fried the area around his stomach enough from him to easily leap away to gather his bearings. He puffed out a relieved breath and focused back on his opponent, who was licking her lips slowly, enjoying how much he was impressing her so far. A slow, irritated sneer crossed over his face and he shot back to her, pushing his legs to flash through the air fast enough to force her to cross her blades against themselves to block a smash aimed at her head. The boy kicked her midsection and swiped his right fin at her airborne body, a sharp trail of water shot from his fin and went after her. The woman pointed at the wave and blasted numerous bolts of lightning at it, destroying it and allowing her to land on her feet safely. Naruto again mesmerized her by leaping straight at her and bringing his sword down on her, the woman leaned away in time with her arms stretched forward, under his arms, but was forced to make a quick decision as Naruto pulled his arms back; Naruto's fins honed towards her fingers. Either she made a gamble and shrouded her fingers in lighting in hopes that he would be fried on contact or let go of her blades.

Time moved at a crawl as she looked between the fins and back to Naruto, trying to decide. The sheen of buzzing chakra covering Naruto's fins forced her to make up her mind and she let go of her blades.

The blue haired swords man smirked at his achievement, "let's see how you fight without your swords, lady," a foot was plated into her unprotected stomach and she skidded away, separated from her swords as they clanged onto the ground.

She smirked right back and flexed her right hand, with her left on the ground to stop her from sliding too far away, "I don't need to hold my swords to use them," she snapped her fingers and the twins swords levitated into the air, glowing with power and bolted to Naruto. The teen had not anticipated this but he went along with something he had been working on with Samehada if it ever happened; he stabbed the hilt of his sword into the ground and ran at the incoming woman, his left fin leading and clashing against a kunai she had whipped out from her weapons pouch.

'Cover me, just like we practised,'

Growl…woof!

'Yes, that plan!'

Samehada elongated from its position in the ground and swatted the blades in the air away from Naruto's back, while its wielder was in a deadly dance of fins and kunai with the experienced swordswoman, who had pulled out another kunai when he added his other hand to the mix. Sparks flew over them as the limited lightning chakra in her short blades clashed with his water chakra, scorching the ground after each slice. He ducked a knife to his forehead and threw his palm at her chest; she slapped his attack away with a stylish spin and slammed her leg against his shoulder. The boy used the contact to grab onto her leg with a firm hand and drove her into the ground by sweeping her foot from under her and brought down a heel kick to her head, which she quickly blocked by her crossed arms seeing as she knew her kunai would shatter upon impact. Her back hit the ground and he refused to release her leg as he twisted the limb in his grasp and solidly kicked her knee, he heard a crack and her eyes widened in alarm. Ameyuri gritted her teeth in pain, the sheer amount of it evident in her eyes, and she smashed her other leg on Naruto's neck, the merciless kick wrenched his hands from her leg and cast him away like a stone skipping on water several feet away from her.

Above them, her twin swords was battling against the elongated, and fiendishly grinning purple sword. The purple sword was immune to every lighting attack but the fact that he was against two blades was what made it ensure it kept his focus on both at the same time. One would attack head on and the other would attempt to uproot him from the ground, he constantly had to backtrack to ward away the second sword and returned to keep the first blades attention on him rather than on his master's fight.

Naruto growled lowly as he huffed to his feet, blood seeping from the corner of his lips as he glared at his female opponent. The woman wobbled onto her feet but, surprisingly enough, kept the broken leg off the ground and bounced on one foot, her hands in a classic kickboxing position. Ameyuri grinned, exposing her signature serrated teeth, "you want a fist fight?"

The boy didn't answer her, rather he barrelled straight back and both entered a complicated sequence of attacks and counters, returning back to attack and smoothly shifting back to counters, only leaving openings long enough to tempt them to poke but these holes were closed like trap doors for the person to counter. Naruto's right knee shot up and she pushed it back down with her right palm, leading a punch to his face with her other hand but the shark boy moved his head away from the blow and swung around to slam his fist onto the side of Ameyuri's head, though she raised her left palm up to block the attack, gripped his attack in her outrageously strong hands, pulled him closer and drove her head straight down at his exposed elbow, breaking it cleanly. She used the opening from his gasp of pain to head butt him between his eyes, breaking his nose, and opening her free hand to palm strike in the centre of his chest.

Blood exploded from his mouth as he stumbled backwards twice and he fell onto a knee, and the older fighter capitalized on this by hopping forward once and swinging his limp leg at him, connecting with his chin and snapping his head up, more blood sprayed out of his mouth as he landed on his back.

This time Aizen had to stand up to hold his Aburame student down, preventing her from running towards her boyfriend of three years, technically four. She yelled his name, horrified that he didn't move and fearing the worst. Her cries rang through the air as Jo helped Aizen hold her back; astonished that the normally cool girl had thrown away all composure and replaced it with utter grief. Tears cascaded down her pale cheeks as she desperately clawed at her friend, Jo, just to go to her first friend. She didn't care that if he lost she would die; all she cared about was that he didn't die.

"Naruto!"

Ameyuri savoured her 'rivals' desperate screams, "I guess you lose, handsome," the woman said to him as she hopped to him on one leg, "can't say I'm not impressed though, this scuffle's got me all sweaty. I actually had to give you a hundred percent or I'd be a lot worse off right now," she tiredly kept hopping to him and idly spun her kunai on her pointer finger, "you have to live with the constant thought that you weren't strong enough to protect your precious girlfriend. I'm sorry for that, I really am, but I'm not sorry about killing her. I will enjoy every moment of it," the battle between her sentient blades and his sentient blades rocked on, almost forgotten from her mind as she got closer to Naruto.

Her condescending words hit Naruto and a memory flooded into his head.

Blue eyes looked down on the kneeling form of a blue haired child, barely even five years old, beaten and bruised from his effort to fight his father. Minato lightly sneered down at his son as the short child panted for air; Naruto hesitantly raised his head to look up at his father, tears pouring down in torrents as his father dipped his hand into a bowl of water and pulled out a sparkling, multi-coloured fish. He held the fish in the air and Naruto began yelling.

"Daddy no!"

"You will forever be reminded of your inability to protect your precious goldfish," he squeezed the dying creature in his hands and the blood trickled from between his fingers, falling onto Naruto's aghast face, frozen that his father, the man he had once looked up to despite all the hate he got in return, had killed his secret companion. The man remained unfazed by the boy's lack of response and hammered the final nail on the coffin by dropping the dead fish on his son head and saying, staring into the boy's blue eyes, "freaks don't deserve love…"

He was left there on the training field, cradling the embraced the body of his first friend.

Minato Namikaze was the eternal presence in Naruto's life that reminded him that he wasn't strong enough to protect his goldfish, the prize he won from a dingy man during the Kyuubi festival. He had broken his hope when he was a child, forced him into seclusion filled with depression and suicidal thoughts, until he encountered Kisame and got Samehada. The memory of his goldfish being killed haunted him every day, crippling his confidence drastically and slowly killing his will to live.

That was…until he met Minisaki Aburame. To the village he was all smiles but she was the first person to chip away his façade and became his friend. She was the first person to openly care about him, besides his little siblings, and that had cemented her in his heart.

And this woman wanted to kill her while he watched?

He would rather have his heart torn out of his living; breathing body and have his dead body experimented on by his uncle Orochimaru.

Ameyuri furrowed her eyebrows as she saw Naruto tighten his fists, just as she got to him, and his eyes opened. His blue hair spiked around wildly and he muttered, "Water senbon,"

Bullets of hair needles shot from his head at her and she held her hands over her eyes to prevent the needles from getting into her eyes, hastily leaping away from him. Naruto staggered to his feet and Minisaki fell onto her knees, gasping in relief, thanking every power out there that he was still alive. Blood leaked from the puncture wounds in her hands but she shook them off and summoned her blades, flashing to him and swiping her blades down on him, "stay down!"

The teen rolled backwards, closing his eyes as bright white lightning exploded after the attack and he stretched his hand to his own sword, down on one knee and panting for air. Samehada didn't leap out of the ground but rather stretched to Naruto, intercepting another downward slam from the twin fangs and allowing Naruto to grab onto its grey, scaled, lengthened handle and heaving it out of the ground from where he stood. He winced as he was reminded of his broken elbow and lifted the heavy sword in his better hand, using the sword to block another attack from the frenzied woman. He clenched the swords hilt and it reduced in size, light enough to make the fast Namikaze move around easier. He jabbed forward and grazed the woman's side while she spun away, he slashed towards her again and scratched off her knuckles as she raised her weapons a little too high to block the last attack. In her desperation she fell onto her butt and threw her blade at Naruto; the shark boy remained neutral as he levelled his sentient blade with the incoming weapon and Samehada opened wide, exposing a nightmarish mouth, and swallowed the blade, holding it in its stomach and sucking out whatever chakra it hand in it so that it lay dormant there.

The Samehada wielder swung his sword at her again and she held it in her shaky hands, still on the ground, and the sheer amount of strength he applied violently ripped the lone fang blade out of her hands. The blade was thrown about ten feet away from her and impaled the ground. Naruto thrust his large weapon at her and stopped just short of her face, Samehada took this as an opportunity to open its mouth and show her his rows and rows of teeth, winding down his mouth. Its long purple tongue burst from deep within its pitch dark belly and licked her face, then it wrapped around her neck and gently squeezed, telling her that he didn't need to shave her face off to kill her. He could just have his sword eat her, grind her against the swords hundreds of teeth and slice off her skin little by little, keeping her alive long enough to feel the true pain of being eaten. She could feel her chakra leave her, dragged out of her and into the purple scaled swords swelling body, leaving her weak and trembling.

"I give up, I give up. Please don't kill me," she pleaded with her eyes tightly shut and her body limp.

Naruto considered her silently, still commanding his sword to keep his tongue around her neck before he withdrew and allowed her to slump onto the ground, heaving in air and quaking with fear at seeing the inside of the legendary Samehada.

He was immediately bawled over by a teary eyed Aburame who hugged him like she had never hugged him before. Naruto grunted and chuckled lowly when he felt her tremble, he draped his sword holding arm over her and carefully held her closely. He felt his burnt shirt get slightly wet and he grinned proudly, "I told you I could do it,"

He groaned when she lightly jabbed him and sniffed, "I knew you could do it," her voice was muffled against his shirt and he smiled warmly down at her, "don't you ever die on me, Naruto-kun," she said quietly as she looked up at him, her dark makeup ruined by her crying.

A small smile came to her face when he gasped dramatically, "I'll have you know, Saki-chan, that I am a very hard person to kill. Kami knows how many times you've tried,"

She fisted his shirt and pushed her face into his chest, "idiot," they savoured each other presence until Samehada interrupted by buzzing lowly and then squeaking.

"This isn't the time for a knock knock joke," Naruto muttered hotly. The sword purred like a cat, "it can wait, I'm having a moment here," his eyes flicked to the girl tightly gripping his shirt and back to his sword.

"Speaking of moments, that was a good fight, Naruto," Aizen shouted to his student as he sent the boy a thumbs up, standing behind the injured swordswoman while his ninken, Jet, clanged her jaws together once to tell the woman not to try anything funny.

The oldest Namikaze child then groaned at the memory that he had just come out of a life-or-death fight against an A rank ninja and he gently pried the Aburame off him. She looked up at him with concern and he just winked, a blush covered her face at this and he gently handed her his sword and Samehada begrudgingly didn't attack her by spiking out its handle seeing as Naruto was the one that gave him to her, willingly. Naruto turned to the woman, giving his Hyuuga friend a fist bump as he passed by him, and stretched his hand down to the woman. Ameyuri looked up at the hand then to his face, the boy smiled widely and said, "I can't have my servant all banged up. I still want you to prepare camo for this night," she sneered at him but her expression smoothened to pleased as she took his hand.

"My, my, I'm starting to like this whole servant thing, Naruto-sama," she bowed her head and kissed his hand. Naruto laughed and looked over his shoulder to silently tell his girlfriend to hold on before she attacked the injured Kiri ninja with his own sword.

The boy pulled the older ninja to him till she was mere inches away from his face and he growled, his teeth elongated until they protruded out of his mouth, widening his jaws, his eyes turned into dangerous black and blue slits. She gulped thickly and shivered, petrified, as he took the image of a Great White shark, and the blood dripping out of his broken nose and the dried blood around his mouth didn't lessen the imposing, man-eating figure of doom he cast over her, "if you even think of betraying me I will beat you to death and drink your blood from a mouldy boot," he shoved her away and she just barely managed to steady herself on her one good leg. He turned away and his face changed back to normal before his girlfriend could see it.

Nothing had ever aroused her in her life than that short display of killer intent by her new master, stirring a fire deep in her gut that could not be extinguished using contemporary means. Her heart raced and her face flushed a deep red as she gripped her chest, both flustered and completely subdued. She bit her lips and began panting; rubbing her thighs together and praying no one noticed her situation. Jet whimpered as she sniffed the air around the woman, thick with arousal and desire, the dog scurried away from her and hid behind Aizen. The man closed his eyes as silent man tears fell down, cursing his students luck at attracting women.
