Team 8 was threatened by Naruto's presence.
She was the demon of Konoha, whose presence could change the political climate of every nation on the continent.
When they saw her saunter toward them, they could barely breathe. Lee, despite wearing a façade of enthusiasm, actually wanted to let his legs crumple under him. Neji was unsure, but he had to be the unrelenting rock that grounded his team. Ten-Ten was in the same position as Lee.
Naruto activated her Rinne-Sharingan, and manifested massive fists of chakra from below her. They stood to her side, like angels to the throne. Imposing. The wimpy Genin couldn't stand all of the pressure, so they crumpled under it. Literally. They fell over, asleep. Naruto did not kill them, but she did check their scroll. Heaven. She didn't waste her time after all.
Her contentedness was interrupted by a kunai pinning the scroll to the ground— it was the long-tongued Genin. "Ah! I'm so delighted to meet you again!" He said as he waltzed to Naruto's position.
It's him again.. Kaguya notes in Naruto's head. Naruto goes on guard, her fists of chakra still on alert. She was still imposing, but not to the subjective extreme that disabled the combat newbies earlier. "I was right, you're a very remarkable student.." The Genin seemed to trail off, exploring the possibilities of something in his head. The hairs on Naruto's back rose up. "It would be a shame if I took your eyes, or your body." He finished, and then he lunged at the Otsutsuki, donning a kunai in his right hand.
Naruto's portal opened in front of her, hoping to catch the Genin. He dodged it, still surprised. He knew about her ocular prowess, but not her space-time Ninjutsu. Naruto was on high alert; the Genin appeared in front of Naruto with high speeds— he was quick, but not as quick as her chakra manifestations, which moved at unorthodox speeds to protect her. The Genin was still very capable, slipping between them and giving her a kick to her chin, sending her into the air. Quickly following up on that attack, the Genin jumped to meet her in the air— Naruto reacted, and oriented herself to be able to block any possible attack he may give. She protected her face with her forearms as the Genin gave a brutal axe kick to her, sending her to the ground.
This is not any ordinary Genin! Kaguya pointed out, quite obviously. Naruto affirmed her in her head, trying to think of a way to at least escape with her life. She had natural prowess, but this Genin was more like a seasoned soldier, not someone taking an exam. While she was thinking, she almost failed to see the long-necked, detached head speeding toward her. She did a back-handspring to escape, and her Rinnegan activated, black rods manifesting in her palms.
If I can't kill him, I will simply disable him. She theorized, remembering his surprise at seeing her space-time Ninjutsu. He would, perhaps, treat the black rods as a simple weapon, and not something that forces the owner's chakra into the victim. She readied herself, getting into her idle stance. The soldier sprinted to her again, getting ready to attack. He threw a kunai at her face, Naruto ducked to avoid it. She created a wood clone at her side, and they charged at the Genin.
They broke out in a fierce engagement, the soldier meeting the force of these two with an unexpected lack of effort. The real Naruto feinted a right hook, instead going for a left jab. The Genin weaved around it, sending a fierce rounhouse kick to Naruto's head. She ducked, and the wood clone created a longer black rod, and the real Naruto created a portal that manifested this in front of her face. The black rod stuck the Genin in his stomach, disabling him partially.
He buckled, even struggling to move backwards, away from Naruto. The wood clone and Naruto rushed him again, he gave the wood clone a knee to the head, and threw it at Naruto, forcing her to dodge. Discreetly, she created a wood clone underground, and had it travel underneath the Genin's position.
"What an interesting ability.." the Genin said as he tried to extract the rod from inside him. When he laid his hand on it, it spasmed, making it impossible to take the implement out.
"Mokuton: Mokusatsu Shibari no Jutsu." Naruto clapped her hands together in front of her, and interlocked them, as the wood clone made several interlocking branches around the Genin.
"Who are you? You're obviously not a Genin." Naruto interrogated, as the wood clone dispelled into the ground, "If you fail to answer, I have other ways of extracting information." She continued.
"If you hadn't disabled me like this, I would've taken your body for my own." He answered simply.
"Don't tell me, then." Naruto gathered chakra in her hand, getting ready to rip his soul from his head. She was interrupted by Sasuke, Sakura, and Team 10 entering the clearing.
