"Come if you dare . You will LOOSE, Mr. DEADLAST" Sasuke taunted the Jinchuuriki, the taunted person " Grrr " -ed in his reply. Both instinctively went off to an open area, (in front of the guild house) clear from obstruction.
" How many times we've fought eh? Remember last last time I won by punching you in the face, with just bare hands. Haha.. " Naruto cried triumphantly while pointing at his adversary's direction. Sasuke remembered how was his reunion with the members of Team 7, under the great samurai bridge just before slaying Danzo.
" I guess... History won't repeat again. This time you'll lose " finishing his sentences the Uchiha unsheathed his blade and held it in an orderly fashion.
" I feel that this blade is itching for battle , Won't you agree...hmm " Sasuke ended his words coldly.
Onlookers felt that, the air was getting tense. " Hey, you two ..." the shortest old man yelled from the group "... you two can fight with all your might, but since you both are new to the land and it applies to your powers well...please restrain yourself from doing anything destructive...ok." the master ended with a cheesy smile. Most off the group looked at Natsu and Erza. " What is it ? " the Titania replied questioningly. She was more interested in the impending fight then to peoples questioning looks.
On the battlefield ( more like a battleground ) , " Its about time ..." Sasuke said before charging his sword with chidori and dashed towards Naruto. Instinctively, Naruto did a ninja dash on the opposite direction. They then started fighting seriously. In fact they were so fast that ordinary eyes cannot even follow their shadows. Sasuke always dashed forward with his blade , did a violent but precise swing. By this time Naruto either defended himself with a kunai or did a barrel roll so that Sasuke cannot reach him.
" He's continuously attacking me, I cannot make any shadow clones in such a short time. Wait, I got it. An idea. " Naruto did a quick wit thinking based upon his past experiences. He knew that Sasuke had more jutsus than himself upon his sleeve. So he made a battle plan. " For the first time in my life, I'm thinking rationally. Its an achievement for me ..heh". Naruto got a small gap in between Sasuke's attack pattern. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU". The Blonde boy made seven copies of him and the group ran towards their adversary.
" Tch...useless " Sasuke said as he activated his sharingan. He was clearly able to distinguish between the clones and the main body..." Where is the main body..!" Sasuke yelled in thought. " Hey, blinky UP HERE " a clone in the air was in close quarters with his neck. Sasuke resorted to the ribcage of his Susano'o for defence. " Where is he ? " as he dissipated the clone. The other clones formed two teams. The two in the back threw kunai and shuriken. while the frontline clones conjured a "MASSIVE RASENGAN" and they charged towards him. Sasuke originally wanted to find where the main body was but the clones created a perfect distraction. To destroy the clones the young Uchiha gave out , " FIRE STYLE: DRAGON FLAME JUTSU " and spurred two dragon shaped flame . The clone pair was now in imminent danger. The clones in the back of the frontline made a smaller rasengan and dashed towards the pair. The pair perished but their 'Massive rasengan' was passed of to the one running from the back. " YAAAAAhhhhh" the last clone said as he charged. Sasuke, neither expected this nor did he see the clone running from the back, taking the already big concentrated chakra ball as if it was baton in relay race.
{sfx: crash...whoosh} The impact kicked up dust and dirt from the soil. While, a big gust of wind scattered the same. Sasuke was seen unharmed, but not untouched. His expression was of being irritated, by the last tactic. In a flash, he severed the remaining clones.
.

" Done... " a very familiar voice came from behind. Naruto went to the furthest distance possible in his blind spot. Sasuke looked behind his head to see Naruto getting up from his concentration and opened his " SAGE MODE.. ON. MY TURN. " Naruto dashed like a ninja, swaying from one side to the other like a gale. Using his eyes Sasuke's eyes predicted the path Naruto would come. " FIRE STYLE: FIREBALL JUTSU ". Naruto made some clones in quick succession, a few of them made a human catapult and threw the main body in the air. " Eat this " Naruto in sage mode is very strong physically, so the knuckle he buried on the ground, missing Sasuke by a foot made a mini quake. The ground lay shattered where it hit. Sasuke gave this time "FIRE STYLE: GRAND FIREBALL TECHNIQUE " towards the sage art user. Naruto used the same tactic to jump over it and counterattack.
...
Apparently, the fight was done without provisions so many of the guild asked Laki to make a temporary audience gallery. As, the fight between two sudden strangers from another world was too tempting, and so fast was their fight the small structure was housefull. Unknowing to Sasuke, The Grand Fireball was towards the audience with no defences this time.
"Aah, ...Its coming here run RUNN~.. wait... I could fly ", Happy yelled before flying away.
" Evacuate, evacuate..." said Levy. " KYAAhh...I don't wanna die" Lucy nearly tripped as gray caught her by her atm and made her sit in between Natsu and Erza.
" Running away is too boring." Gray muttered as he ruffled his hair. " Those two
" Ohh, ...fresh flame" Natsu said as he sucked the oversized flame into minimal size, while Gray moulded an "ICE MAKE SHIELD" so that the remaining weak flame can subside.
.
.
Unknown to all the audience, there was another person who was in another world of his own. Completely, shut off from the outside world.
" What is this feeling? Something dark, VERY DARK is approaching. I'm sure of it. But from where will it approach? " Nero muttered to himself concerningly.
...
Sasuke predicted that Naruto will evade the ablaze ball from its sides. Forget getting hit, he came over it. "RASENGAN BARRAGE" He said as his palm were filled with a rasengan in each. Sasuke, a little disbalanced from the quake had no choice but to use substitution jutsu to save himself from getting clear hit.
After losing momentum from the run, Naruto grinned at Sasuke like he always did. To Sasuke it was rather placid. His throne of pride on the ability of his eyes was shaken, a bit. The person he admitted to be the closest to a best friend he ever had shaken his pride. " HAHA...see that I have indeed shaken your thought. YEAH, score one for Naruto. Uh- huh¶ , Un-huh¶ " and he started swaying his hips.
"RUN NARUTO, SASUKE OUTTA THAT PLACE " Nero yelled from the podium
" FIRE STYLE : DRAGON BREATH HELIX " Sasuke did this jutsu quite effectively as he and Nero was the only one to notice the impending danger behind the dancing idiot.
" What the...WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT ? " the Jinchuuriki cowered by the sheer size and colour of it. To everyone's horror and astonishment after being hit by the flame technique there stood a creature. Inhumane, unearthly. It was black, even in clear daylight no light reflected from its surface. Its skin was like as if it will suck down all particles into his bodily abyss.
"MOVE YOUR ASS YOU BRAT "The nina tailed fox screamed from inside, but the boy was still static as a tree. Nero, in a flash threw a metal rods towards the creature. The rods penetrated deep from the creature's surface.
" LIGHTNING STYLE : LIGHTNING CONDUCTION SPEAR " Several thick lightening struck the rods dissipating the dark flesh a little resulting in a deep dent, Nero went totally offensive with the unwelcomed visitor. Sasuke joined the league with "AMATERASU" as he set the creature's face like structure on black flame.
Erza swooped in from the side in her Black wing armour, grasping Naruto and saving him from imminent danger.
" wah..iz...ahat ? " the blue cat cowered in fear as he noticed that the creature was slowly getting bigger with time.
"Sasuke, fall back NOW " Nero yelled in a commander like voice , the Uchiha immediately followed the letter. The creature was big burning, aflame, hideous but very slow, about the same speed as a snail.
" What being is that ? " Sasuke asked concerned.
" MY PREY." Nero answered in his now Lord like voice and piercing eyes. The carefree and jolly Nero was gone. Inside his body was a fierce fighter with rage and anger. " Its been a while, I've seen better beasts than this. ITS HUNTING TIME, CHAOS~EATER IS HUNGRY" Nero leaped towards it as he summoned a single edged broadsword. " YEAAAAHhhhhhh"
