Kiba had made a clean escape with the barrel.
Shikamaru, Chouji, and Neji had begun running.
The New Sound Trio was incredibly pissed off with all these goddamn clones, with their irritating noise jutsus.
Naruto and Tayuya, newly defected Konoha Nin (or at least, Number 1 Naruto fan girl) also turned to leave.
But then they felt an absurdly strong chakra.
All of Naruto's clones, about 60 he had left, died.
The only knowledge that Naruto got was that someone as ungodly pissed.
Shikamaru, Chouji, and Neji stopped, and turned back. They felt it too.
Gaara, Temari, and Kankurou, newly arrived, landed in the clearing with everyone else.
Hell, even Lee showed up!
And now, Jiroubo, Sakon, and Kidomaru appeared, standing behind one enraged Kimmimaro.
"What is going on here??? Tayuya, get yourself back over here, now! How on earth did you let these genin defeat you??"
The remaining Sound nin all just pointed at Naruto.
"You! Who are you, to single-handedly defeat us?"
"Who am I? Well..."
Kage Bunshin sprung up behind Naruto. Opponents lined up- The Sound nins, minus Kimmimaro, all looked rather nervous, seeing how badly they were outnumbered.
The clearing they were in was rather large, and the Konoha ninjas and the Sand Team moved away a little from Naruto, as did the Sound nin from Kimmimaro. Tayuya stood a little behind Naruto.
And the piano music started. The Sound nin began to get even more nervous, and Kimmimaro became confused...Where the heck was it coming from?
Temari smiled...She got herself a front row seat for another performance, and started inching closer.
"Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world it's turning inside out Yeah!
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time"
Gaara, not being an idiot, began the attack, with Neji close behind. Sand sprang out and nearly crushed Kidomaru as Neji leapt out at Sakon. Chouji and Shikamaru stepped back a bit, and watched Kankurou's puppets launched at Jiroubo, who was unable to dodge the follow-up kick to the head from Lee, who had appeared behind him.
The girls were more interested in Naruto, and made no attempt to attack any of the others. However, when Kimmimaro shot finger bullets at Naruto, a 'mysterious' blast of wind knocked them off course. Naruto didn't even try to dodge, and just kept on singing.
The music, which had picked up even more towards the end of the first verse, was full on rocking as Naruto launched himself forward, pyrotechnics flaring behind him, straight at Kimmimaro.
"I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me"
Naruto didn't know who Lady Godiva was, nor what a car was, but he figured that she was probably some really well known runner or something from the ancient world.
Kimmimaro pulled back, defensively. He didn't expect for Naruto to just fly past him, then bounce off a tree and come back around his other side. All the while trailing fire almost like a comet...it made him look like he was going a lot faster, for sure. And Kimmimaro wasn't sure if that fire would hurt him, yet, and wasn't willing to risk it.
The battle royale amongst the others was going rather well. No one there, really, except for a full on curse sealed Kimmimaro could really stand up to Gaara, and Kidomaru's attacks couldn't even break the first layer of sand. Sakon and Ukon were a slippery target for Neji, but so far they were just going back and forth. Kankurou was just messing up Jiroubo, who, while being strong, couldn't get a good hit on the puppets.
Shikamaru was strategizing.
Chouji...well, he was eating.
And Temari and Tayuya were squealing.
"I'm burning through the skies Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man of you"
Shikamaru made his move. Forming his Kagemane no Jutsu, he shot his shadow, and ensnared an unsuspecting target.
When Sakon and Ukon both just stopped fighting, freezing, Neji took advantage, and with several precise Jyuuken strikes to the heart, head, and throat, killing the brothers whose bodies were in the exact same spot.
Kimmimaro was enraged. How this fight had managed to devolve into a...a...concert was beyond him. While the music WAS catchy, he wasn't sure where the blonde genin was going with this.
A large number of Kage Bunshin had appeared between the two, and several of them had leapt forward. Kimmimaro was shocked when they, well, burst into flames just as he was about to destroy them. Two hundred degrees, indeed.
"What on earth are you doing, trash? Why do you keep on singing!?"
Naruto responded, along with his bunshin chorus.
"Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (Yes I'm having a good time)
I don't want to stop at all"
'He's having a good time?? He's mocking me?? He isn't taking this seriously! Well, I can always change that.' This crazy Konoha nin's style of fighting was irritating, but there was no way it could stand up to a curse seal. So, Kimmimaro activated his.
At the same time, Gaara finally got around to squishing Kidomaru in the sand, joining with Neji and Kankurou in the ass kicking of Jiroubo. Really, the guy had activated his curse seal, and was goddamn strong, but he just couldn't get a good hit in, and that annoying Hyuuga kept on cutting off chakra flow points.
Temari and Tayuya were openly cheering.
Shikamaru, looking at the two girls, just mumbled to himself. 'Goddamn troublesome Naruto...how is he getting all the girls? He can have those ones, though...they look troublesome.'
And Naruto sang, not even batting an eye at curse seal Kimmimaro.
"I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an exploding note about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode"
Gaara couldn't just stand aside at this point...He wasn't immediately needed against Jiroubo, but Uzumaki...So he erected a sand wall in front of the charging Kimmimaro. It did stop Kimmimaro for a moment, but he was tearing his way through it.
Naruto had turned around, not even looking at Kimmimaro anymore. He had more important things, at the moment. He was singing clearly to the two ladies behind him, who had pretty much given into their inner fangirl. Tayuya was probably considering flashing him.
"I'm burning through the skies Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman out of you"
Pyrotechnics flared. Groups of Konoha nin, the ones who would have recovered the wounded left behind, were approaching the scene, confused at the music.
At this point, Tayuya decided to go ahead and flashed Naruto, when he got to the last line. This, of course, caused him to be staring at her as he said it, which kind of pissed off Temari. She wasn't about to be shown up. She flashed him, too.
At this point, though, Kimmimaro had ripped his way through the sand barrier and was still coming. His arm bone popped out, ready to be used as a sword. The girls, with tops back on, gasped. Temari out of 'WTF?' factor, and Tayuya because she actually realized how bad news this was.
At this point, though, a flying side kick came out of nowhere in the form of Lee. While it didn't hurt Kimmimaro that much, a flying boot to the head was enough to knock him to the side. Kimmimaro responded with several complicated sword attacks, which the still injured Lee could barely handle. At the last second, however, Lee found himself kawamiri-ed to safety from one of Naruto's Bunshins. This caused Kimmimaro to refocus himself on Naruto.
"Just shut the hell up, Trash! Just shut up and die!"
Naruto turned back around. It was probably about time to do something.
So, he sang. He sang and he danced and he dodged.
"Don't stop me don't stop me don't stop me
Hey hey hey!
Don't stop me don't stop me
Ooh ooh ooh (I like it)
Don't stop me have a good time good time
Don't stop me don't stop me
Ooh ooh Alright
I'm burning through the skies Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you "
Kimmimaro could barely concentrate anymore. After calling out his attacks name, everything just went crazy. Smoke kept on appearing out of nowhere in his eyes, bright strobe light flashes blinded him, after every other attack a column of flame would shoot up. He felt like he was in a movie or something, fighting a choreographed fight. His opponent never attacked, only dodged. Though hard-pressed, and barely dodging, Naruto was making it seem like it was only a dance.
Which, ironically, it was. The dance of the Camellia, Tsubaki no Mai. Seriously, Kimmimaro should have realized not to use techniques called 'dances' against the best dancer in the world. Or so Naruto thought to himself.
During the guitar solo halfway through the last verse, Jiroubo finally was entrapped in Kuroari, and stabbed to death by Karasu. Kimmimaro was the last one standing of the enemy Sound nins.
Konoha nin were now filling the woods, watching the fight. There were several teams here, a bunch of whom were medic nins, ready to search out wounded Konoha genin. They didn't expect what they had found, and were greatly surprised at how well Naruto was handling himself. Sure, they all had seen him perform against Sasuke, but that had been more of a spar. Some of them had seen his chuunin exam match, but both sides were dancing there. But here, Naruto was the only one dancing, and he was still standing.
And then Kimmimaro began to feel it. He pulled back for a second, coughing out some blood. 'No, not now! Why now?? I will not end like this!' He launched another attack at Naruto, the Dance of the Willow, Yanagi no Mai. Naruto just kept on singing, and kept on dancing.
It wasn't even as hard now, with Kimmimaro's growing disability. His words took a mocking lilt to them.
"Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (Yes I'm having a good time)
I don't wanna stop at all"
All the others were watching the fight end. Kimmimaro had fallen back, on his knees. Coughing up blood, he knew he was dying. "Who are you??"
"a la la la laaaa
La la la la
La la laa laa laa laaa
La la laa la la la la la laaa hey!!... "
As the bunshin finished up the song, and faded out the music, Naruto had approached Kimmimaro. "Weren't you listening to the song? I think I described myself adequately there. I am Uzumaki Naruto."
And with that, Kimmimaro expired.
The two girls cheered, and jumped upon Naruto, not unlike pouncing tigers on fresh meat. Konoha nin came out of the woods, and picked up the bodies of the Sound 4 for further analysis. One of the medics began patching up Neji, where he had been injured in the fight, while others were yelling at Lee for even thinking of leaving before he was fully healed.
And Naruto stood up, back straight, and began the walk back to Konoha.
