Chapter 16
"This is one creepy tunnel." Said Yumi.
"What? An Akatsuki member afraid of a little tunnel like this?" asked Akira which was very unlike him, making Yumi stick her tongue out at him. They suddenly heard several noises coming deeper from the cave. Akira kept leading the way while Yumi followed him looking behind them. Akira soon gently stopped Yumi making her turn around. "Traps…" Yumi looked below them and saw that the ground was rigged with several wires. "The question is what kind of traps."
Both he and Yumi jumped to a safe distance from their first trap while Yumi threw a kunai at the wire cutting it. Suddenly several dozens of kunai's flew out and hit the dirt.
"That's not so bad…" said Akira. Suddenly a huge stream of fire struck the ground where the kunai's were making a crater into the soft ground and melting the kunai's. Yumi looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Okay I take it back… I guess we better be careful." Akira made an earth bunshin and told it to walk in front of them. The elemental bunshin made it about 20 steps before it was hit by dozens of shirikens and pinned to the ground by an earth jutsu. "So much for getting rid of all the traps for us. I guess we should just proceed with caution."
"By all means… You first." Said Yumi biting her index finger. Akira nodded and began to lead the way…
Scene change
"What's wrong dobe? You actually need people so you can continue to get stronger?" asked Sasuke grinning. "You were always alone because you have always been weak!" Naruto began to look down. "You were nothing! Deadlast! You have never knew the true feeling of pain!" This really got Naruto angry making him looked at Sasuke.
"Is that right?" asked Naruto. "I have probably felt more pain then you have ever imagined! But at least when I have people that I love and care about I can protect them unlike you! Someone who is obsessed over power coulden't even stop the one man that killed all of your precious people! I guess after this fight we will really know who's the closest to killing Itachi!"
When Naruto mentioned Itachi's name Sasuke's eyes widen as he charged towards Naruto screaming in rage. Sasuke threw his fist towards the blond's face who got into his fighting stance.
"You tai jutsu may have improved but mine is still better!" shouted Sasuke. His fist was only about 2 inches from Naruto's face when the he saw the blond give off a smirk. Suddenly Sasuke's attack only hit air when Narutos face disappeared.
"Well see about that…" shouted Naruto. He had just ducked under Sasuke's punch and then punched the Uchiha right in the chin sending him crashing several feet away.
"How do you feel traitor?" shouted Naruto in rage.
"That had to have been a lucky punch! There's no way he can be better then me at anything!" thought Sasuke angrily. "I will beat him in Tai jutsu!"
Naruto got into his attack stance once again as Sasuke charged towards him. Naruto attempted to punch his former team mate but it was countered easily by Sasuke but Naruto quickly kicked Sasuke back before the raven haired boy could react. Sasuke was beginning to get even angrier. But Sasuke has even less time to think when Naruto appeared right in front of Sasuke and uppercutted him sending the raven haired boy into the air. Naruto then kicked Sasuke in the ribs hard making the Uchiha scream out in pain but he was stopped immediately when Naruto struck him in the face constantly until he could no longer stay in the air and gave Sasuke one last hard kick in the head sending him rolling on the ground. Naruto watched silently as Sasuke slowly got up and whipped the blood off of the corner of his mouth.
"That's it…" said Sasuke. Sasuke quickly activated his sharingan in anger and just stood his ground looking at Naruto.
"There is some kind of trick to this…" thought Naruto.
"Looking at the last battle it seems as if he could see the future." Said Kyuubi.
"What!" thought Naruto. "Where have you been anyway?"
"Sleeping now shut up and listen to me." Said Kyuubi. "Every time you attack him his eyes seem to always be a few steps ahead of you so he can counter you easily, you have to find a way to neutralize his sharingan."
"How am I going to do that!" thought Naruto angrily.
"I don't know figure it out yourself!" snarled Kyuubi.
"Great…" whispered Naruto. He quickly charged towards Sasuke kicking and punching but he was soon tripped making him fall onto the ground and then kicked in the stomach making him skid back.
"There's no way you can defeat my sharingan dead last." Said Sasuke confidently. He quickly ran towards Naruto and began to attack him to find that all of his attacks were being blocked easily before he was sent flying from a punch that landed on his stomach.
"Seems like your tai jutsu is nothing but defensive fighting eh traitor?" said Naruto full of hate. Sasuke cursed at him before performing several seals. Naruto quickly charged at him with amazing speed.
"Suiton Daibakufu no jutsu! (Water Explosion) A huge cyclone began to form from the little lake on Sasuke's right and shot out towards Naruto who also began to form several seals.
"Katon ryuuka no jutsu!" (dragon fire technique) shouted Naruto.
A huge line of fire came from Naruto's hands and hit the cyclone of water head on causing both spells to cancel each other out and make a wave of black smoke surround the area. Sasuke tried to wave the smoke away but his attempts were futile. Suddenly Naruto's face appeared right in front of him!
"There you are!" shouted Naruto.
He attacked again no caring that his attack would have probably been countered. But surprisingly his punch struck Sasuke right in the head! Naruto quickly followed up his punch by kicking Sasuke 2 times and then punching him once again in the stomach making the raven haired boy double over. Sasuke quickly recovered by using both of his hands to stead him on the ground and kicked Naruto in the air making the boy land a few feet away.
"Why did that attack succeed but the others didn't…" thought Naurto.
"Kid! Are you really that stupid! After all that time training…" said Kyuubi.
"Shut up you stupid fox I'm in the middle of something!" thought Naruto angrily.
"It's his eyes you stupid brat. In the smoke he couldn't see your eyes so his Sharingan can't predict your moves…" said Kyuubi.
"So I have to get rid of my eyes…" thought Naruto. "How… Unless I have to…"
Sasuke was surprised to see Naruto analyzing the situation.
"He must have figured out that I can counter any attack he throws at me…" thought Sasuke smiling. But that smile was shortly lived when he saw what Naruto did next. The blond ninja silently took off his forehead protector and then tied it over his eyes!
"Don't you dare underestimate me loser!" shouted Sasuke running towards him. He saw an opening on Naruto's right side since Naruto's head was looking toward the left. Sasuke was about to attack Naruto when suddenly his former team mate's head turned to stare right at him.
"Found you!" shouted Naruto and kicked Sasuke right in the face knocking him to the floor. "My senses are quite advance traitor so don't think this is going to be an easy battle!"
With that said Naruto then raised his leg high into the air and smashed it down upon Sasuke's back making the raven haired boy yell out in pain. Naruto brought his other leg down but it was caught by Sasuke and flung away. Sasuke quickly tripped Naruto with one leg and attempted to get up but Naruto flipped back on his feet and punched at Sasuke's face missing him by a hair.
"Shit this is harder then I thought." Thought Naruto.
The blond was suddenly struck in the face by Sasuke and then struck in the ribs by Sasuke's knee making him spit out some blood. Naruto quickly punched Sasuke back once more and charged at him but stopped when he felt a gust of air.
"He jumped away somewhere…" thought Naruto.
"This is the end Naruto!" shouted Sasuke.
Naruto already fed up with sensing where Sasuke was put up his forehead protector back to its original place. Naruto's eyes narrowed when he saw Sasuke's black markings begin to come out of his curse seal and covered his body. Naruto quickly jumped up onto a tree a few meters away from Sasuke and then lifted his pant legs making Sasuke curious to what was doing. The raven haired boy soon heard ripping sounds and saw that Naruto took out 2 black straps.
"Are those weights Naruto?" asked Sasuke laughing. "Trying to be like Lee?"
Naruto only smirked at his over confidence. Naruto then threw the weights at the tree's next to him crushing them from the seer weight and then made a huge crater when the straps reached the ground. Sasuke's eyes widen when he saw this but they widened even more when Naruto let go of his pant legs and lifted his sleeves revealing 2 more straps that he took off and threw to the ground making 2 more craters. Naruto grinned seeing Sasuke's facial expression.
"This time I won't hold back!" thought Naruto angrily. "I'll fight him with everything I have I won't even think about rationing my stamina!" He soon felt his anger rising even more thinking about the time that this traitor defeated him and when he found out that 2 of his friends nearly died to bring Sasuke back!
"Here I come traitor!" shouted Naruto dashing towards Sasuke who used his Sharingan looking at the blond ninja's eyes.
"Bring it on dead last!" screamed Sasuke right back at Naruto.
Naruto started off the attack with several punches that Sasuke could barely see but he predicted this and barely evaded them hitting Naruto once in the jaw as hard as he could but he was amazed when Naruto simply took his attack and struck him right in the face making him fall to the floor from the blond's strength. Sasuke got up again to avoid several other attack's from Naruto and counter attacked once again but the result was Naruto taking the hit once again and attacking Sasuke once more not giving him time to predict Naruto's next moves.
"So that's his plan…" thought Sasuke. "He is just giving me a punch after I counter his attacks. His speed is amazing… I hate to admit it but his tai jutsu far exceeds my own… I'll just have to use nin jutsu on him!"
Sasuke soon jumped far away from Naruto and landed right onto a tree.
"Running already traitor?" asked Naruto. Sasuke only smirked.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!" (Shadow replication). Soon seven Sasuke's appeared on the tree.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!" (Shadow replication). Shouted Naruto but instead of 7 Naruto's appearing there were at least 50 on the ground that all jumped up towards Sasuke. The 7 Sasuke's that were up in the tree quickly jumped of other tree's surrounding his former team mates' Kage bunshin's.
"Katon Inferuno no jutsu." (Inferno) A huge wave of fire soon came out of Sasuke's hand as he blew as hard as he could destroying every single kage bunshin that Naruto had made.
"Katon Housenka no jutsu! (Mythical Fire Flower) shouted Naruto.
The blond ninja blew hard and began to rotate in a half circle sending dozens of fireballs at the tree's destroying 5 of Sasuke's kage bunshin's but his jutsu was interrupted when one of Sasuke's clones struck him from behind making him stumble forward and was then attacked by 2 more Sasuke's sending him flying a few feet back from a strong kick.
"Kage Bunshin is just going to be a waste of Chakra…" Thought Naruto.
Naruto quickly back flipped and threw a dagger at an attacking Sasuke making it disappear in smoke.
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" shouted Sasuke once again making 5 clones that quickly hid within the tree's.
"Suiton Suiryuudan no jutsu!" (Water Dragon blast) Shouted one Sasuke.
"Katon Karyuu Endan!" (Stream of fire) shouted another Kage bunshin.
"Katon Housenka no jutsu! (Mythical fire flower)
"Fuuton Furyuukiri! (Wind dragon blades)
"Doton Doryou Dango!" (Mud cannonball)
Naruto's eyes widen hearing Sasuke perform so many destructive nin jutsu's all at once.
"This is going to take a lot of chakra out me but I don't care anymore!" thought Sasuke angrily.
Naruto was cursing under his breath thinking of a way out of this mess seeing how water began to form behind one of Sasuke's kage bunshins while 2 other kage bunshins was about to blow a huge stream of fire and several powerful wind blades that could pretty much throw him out of the battle and finally there were 2 kage bunshin's ready to fire jutsu's that pretty much were meant to keep him running and escaping at the same time. Naruto readied himself for a huge attack but at the same time had one thought.
"I'm going to get hit by at least one of that traitor's jutsu's and its going to hurt like hell…" thought Naruto.
Naruto quickly back flipped to avoid a huge dragon of water that went crashing down at the location making a huge crater. The blond nin then ducked to avoid 2 wind blades that cut the tree's, he stand in front of right in front of, right in half! Naruto then jumped high into the air to dodge 4 more blades that flew right past him cutting anything in their path. Naruto barely saw the huge stream of fire heading his way. Naruto dodged to the right but was slightly burnt even though he was hit.
"Damn! Even though I dodged the Karyu Endan I was still burned…" thought Naruto. "That stuff is really hot!"
Naruto was then struck in the back with several fireballs making him yell out in pain. Naruto then began to throw defensive punches towards several mud balls that were speeding towards him but he was eventually hit by those as well making him cough up blood and fall onto the floor where Sasuke stood on a tree looking at him with a satisfied grin…
Thanks everyone for your reviews now this is what I have so far for the teams that are for sure. In addition to that I made the teams 6 to 7 because think about it would you walk into a demon lair that is being guarded with 4 ninja's? Or would you rather have the exception and get more men. Same situation goes here.
Naruto, Akira, Hinata and Yumi are for sure. Wonder why no one likes Neji… Shikamaru, Lee and Kiba along with Shino also seem to be fighting for their spots so up to you guys. I might not put in Shino because I might have plans for him later.
As for IzanagiMikoto Yeah I am letting Sasuke off a little easy and don't worry his seal is still there but of course Kyuubi is still around as well…
For Ero-jounin I kind of made the 128 points of divinity a little more time consuming since she has to slowly turn her waist to the right to make the proper stance but 64 hits of divinity doesn't need that. Or else yeah if the 128 points didn't need time to prepare of course you would use it constantly hahah.
For The white dwarf thanks for your comments and I did miss Anko's cure seal. I'll be sure to add more detail about Sasuke leaving Orochimaru later.
I'll also try to make the fight scenes better and more exciting.
And last for Kitsune-Ita sorry about that man heheh. I thought it was a good cliffhanger but I guess I was wrong. I'll try not to do that again.
Well thanks everyone for your reviews.
