Chapter 3: After Sasuke
"Bring it, little girl," Recilius teased.
"I will," Sakura responded, "Art of fire spear." Then a huge burning spear made of fire, shot out of Sakura's finger. Recilius rolled to the side, and the side of the spear nicked his shoulder.
"So you gave me a tiny scratch, big deal," Recilius chuckled, "You'll have to do a lot better than that."
"I will," Naruto yelled with his eyes burning like the demon fox's, "Art of inferno rocket." Then, a large arrow head-like shape made of fire surrounded Naruto. He thrust toward Recilius at great speed.
"That move is highly inaccurate," Recilius said, "It will never be able to hit me. You can't control your power yet, Naruto."
"Want to bet," Naruto said. Just then, two hands popped out of the ground and grabbed Recilius's feet.
"Ugh…let me go," Recilius hollered struggling. Naruto's attack hit dead on. "Gahhhhhhh," Recilius screamed in pain wit a huge steaming gash in his chest, "Her…ha…how'd…how'd you grab my feet?"
"He didn't, I did," Sasuke said jumping out from under the ground.
"Well, done, you 3," Kakashi said, "Using the groundhog technique I once used on you was brilliant."
"Sasuke," Sakura yelled running at him with open arms. She embraced him.
"You scared me to death," Inner Sakura said.
"Sakura," Sasuke said softly.
"Yes, my dear," Sakura replied.
"Your cutting of my air supply," Sasuke said in a constricting voice.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Sakura said releasing him.
"Hey Sakura," Naruto said.
"What," Sakura replied.
"You can cut of my air at any time," Naruto answered.
"Dream on," Sakura yelled at him.
"Well, let's all settle down, and head home to collect our reward," Kakashi said tying his hitai-ate headband back on, "Now that our opponent is dead, we can go and start looking like ninja again.
"Not so, Kakashi," Recilius said getting up, "Art of quicksand."
"Everyone, look out," Kakashi said jumping into a tree. Then the other 3 followed his example.
"Taste your own medicine, pig," Sasuke said with his eyes glowing, "Art of quicksand."
"Fool, I'm invulnerable to most Earth moves," Recilius said.
"Thanks for the tip," Kakashi said, "Water style, giant waterfall." A huge waterfall fell in front of Kakashi.
"Your to far away to hit me with that move," Recilius said.
"I'm not aiming for you," Kakashi said. Then Recilius started sinking.
"What's going on," Recilius said waist deep in his own attack.
"All that water turned your sand into mud, and now your sunk," Kakashi answered.
"Cool," Naruto said smiling, "Fire style, drought." Then the sun started getting very warm. All the puddles started to dry.
"Naruto, what are you doing," Sakura asked, "You'll foil Master Kakashi's plan."
"No, Sakura," Sasuke said, "It's genius. The mud will dry and harden. Then, Recilius will be stuck for good." A few seconds later, the ground dried, and Recilius was stuck chest deep. They all jumped back down.
"You idiots think you've won, don't you," Recilius said.
"Looks that way," Sasuke said.
"Looks are often deceiving," Recilius responded, "Art of the familiar spirit."
"That's the spell Orochimaru used to summon that really big snake," Sasuke said.
"Correct, except I'm the boar demon," Recilius said. Then a giant boar, with long sharp tusk and burning red, eyes appeared from nowhere.
"And I thought Choji was a porker," Naruto said.
"You thought the battle was over," Recilius laughed, "This is where it all starts."
"Here piggy, piggy, piggy," Sasuke said.
"I'm ready for some bacon," Naruto said, "Ready."
"Ready," Sakura and Sasuke said together.
"Art of the friendship flame, pyro flame tri beam," the 3 of them said in unison. Then they all jumped into the air in a triangle formation. Then, beams of fire formed between each of them, forming a triangle. The triangle filled with flames and shot out, spinning, at the boar.
"A team attack is the ultimate form of teamwork," Kakashi said. It hit, and the boar was badly burned. "My turn," Kakashi said drawing his shuriken, "Take this, swine." He leaped into the air and hurled about 30 shuriken at the boar. The giant boar was hit in the back by most of them (only 4 missed). It then fell over dead.
"Art of the fa…," Recilius said, but was interrupted by one of Kakashi's kunai knife that landed in his skull.
"What now," Sakura asked.
"Now we leave him to the shinobi hunters of the village hidden in stone," Kakashi replied, "Let's go home, collect our reward, and report this "demon circle" to Hokage."
