Days After Naruto's Fight
Naruto and Sakura were standing by the flowing river, watching it, in a peaceful mood. Naruto smiled at Sakura and said, "I'm glad you joined me." Sakura smiled back and said, "Of course, Naruto-kun." He nodded and looked at the water and said, "The fight with Gaara taught me how far I'll have to take it on certain enemies." He frowned and said, "I just can't think of how I'd have to go against Itachi." Sakura frowned and hugged Naruto, laying her head on his shoulder and said, "Your strong, smart, and you always protect your friends, You'll come up with something." Naruto smiled at her and said, "Yeah, I will." However, he heard footsteps and looked to where they were coming from and his eyes narrowed.
He pushed Sakura behind him, as he moved forward, growling. Sakura looked at him and then to whom he was staring at and gasped. It was Uchiha Itachi and Kisame, walking towards them. Naruto said, "You bastards were bold enough to come here, huh?" Itachi stared at Naruto and said, "We are here to capture you, come peacefully and we will not do harm." Naruto looked at Sakura and then Itachi and shifted his footing. He smirked and said, "I'm Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto, I won't go peacefully, not now, not ever." He then shot forward at Itachi, and Kisame merely watched with amusement. Naruto was about to strike Itachi when he felt a knee smash into his stomach, causing him to double over. He was then punched backwards, as the jounins arrived. Naruto got up and said, "Itachi is MINE!" He finished the sentence off with his mixed voice as his eyes began to tint with blood red. He got on all fours and said nothing, just staring at Itachi.
Shizaru nodded and looked at Kisame, who stepped to the sidelines to watch. Shizaru nodded at the jounins, who did the same, but to be on guard. Naruto charged at Itachi, to get hit again, onto the water. Itachi leaped onto the water and stared at him. Naruto stood and the tint of blood red left his eyes. Naruto said, "Very well, I'll use my own power." Itachi nodded, knowing this would be worth it for him. Naruto closed his eyes and began to concentrate his chakra. He slowly opened his eyes as his hands made a chain of hand seals. Itachi's eyes narrowed, as he couldn't follow the speed. Naruto then made the final seal, of a snake. Naruto spoke, "Uzumaki Technique: Lightning Fist Barrage." Naruto gathered lightning to his fists and charged at Itachi, with enough of a boost to actually hit him. Naruto unleashed the barrage, sending Itachi back into the railing, only to poof, revealing it was a clone. Naruto cursed as Itachi surrounded him with more clones. Naruto sighed and lowered his arms, but smirked. At that moment, he announced, "Exploding Clone Technique" and he exploded, making Shizaru smirk.
Naruto and Itachi
appeared again on the water, and they both were getting serious.
Naruto then felt his heart beat hard and clutched his chest, coughing
out blood. Sakura gasped and ran over to the rail and cried out,
"Naruto-kun! Get out of there!" Naruto said, "No, I have to
fight, I have to challenge myself." Sakura frowned, tears coming to
her eyes. Naruto then began to draw out his bloodline, his eyes
gleaming. He said,
"Cry of the Rain" and he shifted
his footing again. Itachi merely watched and said, "Your girl seems
to be worried about you." Naruto nodded and said, "Of course, I'm
pretty sure I'm going to die here, but At least it will be fighting
someone who I respect in a way." Itachi nodded and brought off his
cloak for the first time.
Naruto then said, "Water Style: Water Dragon Blast!" A large water dragon burst out from the water and lunged at Itachi, who countered with, "Grand Fireball Technique." The fire met the water, and made steam. Naruto shot forward and as he reached Itachi, he said, "Water Bullet…Barrage" He then began to blast out a barrage of the Water Bullet jutsu. Itachi skidded back and finally the barrage stopped as Naruto came up to Itachi and uppercut him. Itachi chuckled lightly, knowing this kid was far more powerful then he was letting loose. His thoughts were switched when Naruto slammed his fists into Itachi's stomach, both together. Itachi crashed into the water, and Naruto landed a few feet away, breathing hard as his condition began to easily tire him.
Naruto watched Itachi as he got up and nodded to himself. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate. He knew what he had to do to end this and quick, before his condition killed him. He opened his eyes and his gleam was bigger now, making Shizaru's eyes widen and he whispered, "Oh crap… Is it happening now?" Naruto's chakra then flared like mad, causing every to brace themselves. Naruto said, "Too long has this battle gone on, now its time to end it." Naruto formed a hand seal and said, "Shadow Clone Technique" and a clone appeared beside him. Naruto smiled at Itachi and said, "It was a pleasure to battle you." Itachi nodded, and prepared for what was to come.
Naruto then held his hand to the clone and they began a procedure, working their hands. Everyone's eyes widened as they recognized the technique. Kakashi said, "Nani!? He knows that technique!" Sakura watched Naruto with amazement, worry, and joy, as now her boyfriend was showing off a technique that he most likely held as his trump card. Naruto smirked as he blasted forward with the swirling sphere. Itachi watched his movements and sidestepped the sphere, and summoned a katana, and stabbed Naruto through the back, only to have that Naruto poof, making his eyes widen as he heard a voice and felt something smash into him. He realized that he had been fooled and smiled to himself.
He heard Naruto's voice say one last thing before getting hit…
"RASENGAN!"
