Naruto, after his stunning defeat (or something like that) of Orochimaru and Kabuto, returned to Konoha with the new Hokage.
Sasuke had been waiting for this, stewing in Itachi's words...he refused to be weak, damnit, especially not weaker than Naruto. Somehow Naruto had defeated Hyuuga Neji with ease (he never could get the exact story of what happened), and he comes waltzing in and just SINGS at Gaara and gets him to stop.
Well, Sasuke was no singer. He was a goddamn fighter. And he would kick the ever living crap out of Naruto for even unintentionally making Sasuke doubt himself.
So, Naruto arrived back in Konoha. Sasuke showed up, and challenged him to a fight. Unfortunately for Sasuke, he chose a rather visible location...the top of the hospital.
So, Naruto humored Sasuke, and agreed to the fight.
However, Naruto had been planning for such an event, having the desire to show up the Uchiha. And what luck that Sasuke wanted to fight in a place where EVERYONE was going to hear it.
They stood facing each other, on the roof. "Are you sure you want to do this, Sasuke?"
"Doe, I'm going to put you in your place once and for all!"
"Oh, sure, if I lose, you're supremely victorious, but if you lose, you get to come back and fight me again next week? Man, whatever. Kage Bunshin!"
And with that, Naruto summoned up his clones. Sasuke jumped back, and began one of his Uchiha Fire Jutsu ™. He had not, however, expected for music to begin playing.
The Kage bunshin, for the most part, formed up into an almost audience, surrounding the two fighters.
Stomp Stomp Clap. Stomp Stomp Clap.
"Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playin' in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo' face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place"
There were, however, a few bunshin, along with Naruto, who stayed in the makeshift arena. Sasuke launched himself, Sharingan twirling, at the real, singing Naruto. But every time he did, a new Naruto would pop up and get in his way. Sasuke, in his rage, didn't even notice the strategy.
There were about twice as many KB then Sasuke thought...they were just henged into pebbles around the arena floor. Whenever he got close to one, or close to Naruto, the bunshin would release the henge and attack, while another bunshin would replace him. Sasuke was getting frustrated, as he couldn't see how Naruto's were just popping out of nowhere.
And Naruto looked on, microphone-KB in hand, singing so that all of Konoha could hear him and his audience of bunshin.
"We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!"
Civilians were stopping in the street; ninja were leaping to roof tops. Sasuke noticed none of it, and was just taking out Naruto's seeming endless amount of bunshin. He got a good number of them, but they just kept on appearing! So, he began the seals for Gokakyu no Jutsu, to just blow them all the fuck away.
Stomp Stomp Clap. Stomp Stomp Clap.
Just before he could breathe in, Naruto, microphone in hand, appeared in front of him, and with a flick of the wrist activated one of his pyrotechnic jutsus. With a huge flare going off in his face (not that it could have hurt him, mind you, but it sure as hell looked like it could), Sasuke leapt back, momentarily blinded.
The flare served a dual purpose, of stopping Sasuke from torching the roof, and of drawing more attention to the fight.
"Buddy you're a young man hard man
Shoutin' in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo' face
You big disgrace
Wavin' your banner all over the place!"
The bunshin had gone on the offensive. Mind you, their Taijutsu sucked, because Naruto didn't practice it as much, but they DID excel manipulating sound. So, in a jutsu similar to what Dosu had used, several of them forced into jarring sounds into Sasuke's inner ear, throwing him off balance. One of them even managed to get a nice cut across Sasuke's face with a kunai, before being destroyed.
Out of the 40 odd original bunshin in the arena, there numbers had dwindled to 15. Sasuke's reaction time was getting better, too, so the original strategy was becoming far less effective.
"We will we will rock you
Sing it
We will we will rock you!"
Unfortunately, though, as much faster as Sasuke was getting, he was also getting more enraged. Naruto was mocking him! Mocking HIM, damnit! It should be the other way around!
Stomp Stomp Clap. Stomp Stomp Clap.
And the crowds thickened. The murmurs grew. THIS was the great Uchiha? The other guy is fighting him off while singing! By this point, many of the audience had joined in on the Stomping and the Clapping, and the music was ringing out across the town.
"Buddy you're an old man poor man
Pleadin' with your eyes gonna make
You some peace some day
You got mud on your face
Big disgrace
Somebody betta put you back into your place"
This was like fighting Itachi, damnit! He just couldn't get a hit in, not on the main Naruto. Hell, he was fucking DANCING around him...Sasuke would call it capoeira if the guy ever bothered to actually kick him. Naruto was making it seem effortless...Hell, he just fell over into a sideways lean at a 30 degree angle, and stood back up straight! What the hell is with that?
Stomp Stomp Clap. Stomp Stomp Clap.
And thinking about Itachi brought Sasuke back to his youth, about always being compared to Itachi, and about always coming up short. He could see it in Naruto's eyes...he was mocking him, calling him unworthy. Sasuke wasn't about to take that shit from Naruto!
"We will we will rock you
Sing it
We will we will rock you"
Most of the arena bunshin were gone, only 3 remaining, and they weren't fighting anymore anyway. Naruto didn't even seem to be taking the fight seriously, the way he was dodging and blocking some of his attacks. So, as Naruto began the chorus, Sasuke began the seals for the Grand Fireball...he didn't expect Naruto to do a few seals of his own, but at least this time, he got the fireball off.
He just didn't expect for Naruto to perform one of this pyrotechnic jutsus at the same time...this one being one that did something to the effect of super cooling the air immediately surrounding you, so that one wouldn't burn themselves with a pyrotechnics gone awry. It didn't last long, and against anything stronger than a Grand Fireball the jutsu would be overwhelmed, but Naruto had backup clones ready to redo the jutsu for him, if his fell.
But no one else knew that. All they saw was Sasuke launch a huge fireball, and Naruto just walk right through it.
By now, nearly everyone was into the song, and together with the Bunshin, went Stomp Stomp Clap.
Stomp Stomp Clap. Stomp Stomp Clap.
One of the audience bunshin stepped forward, holding an electric guitar. Sasuke had backed up, to regroup, and figure out what the hell had just happened. Naruto took into his hands the guitar, and began to play. Frankly, no one could tell if Naruto was actually playing, or just using a jutsu to simulate the sound, but it didn't matter.
It was a damn good solo.
"Everybody
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you
Alright"
The only lines Naruto sang were "Everybody" and "alright". His bunshin were mostly quiet for the rest...it was the village itself singing, while Naruto played.
Sasuke realized exactly what was happening now. He noticed, through his rage, that everyone, it seemed, had come out to watch the fight. It was too much.
Naruto had to pay.
So he charged up his Chidori.
Naruto didn't even stop playing, though he stared Sasuke in the eyes. Two bunshin behind Naruto performed some more pyrotechnics behind him, causing pillars of flame to rise up. Most didn't even notice the Jutsu's being performed and just saw the effects.
Sasuke ran forward, arm in front of him.
Naruto finished up his solo.
Sasuke pulled his arm back, and then stabbed forward.
Naruto twirled around, and in a similar manner to what Itachi did, smashed the guitar into Sasuke's wrist, causing the Chidori to hit one of the water towers.
It was at this exact moment that Kakashi appeared, just a second too late for Naruto if Sasuke would have managed to hit.
Naruto walked to the edge of the roof, and took a bow.
The villagers saw who they had been cheering for, and singing along to, and were shocked.
They hadn't realized it was the demon brat!
But, damn, could he sing.
The ninjas also cheered. Far fewer of them held grudges, and the few who did had gotten over them when word had spread of all the important things Naruto had done lately.
And Kakashi, holding Sasuke's arm, shunshin-ed away.
Author's Notes: The Song; "We Will Rock You", by Queen.
This is the second time that Naruto has performed in public, and it shocked people how much they enjoyed it.
Especially after they realized who was performing.
