Chapter 9: Speed Demon
"They never stood a chance," Gamdori snickered. Then he turned to see a foot in his face, and Gamdori went flying out of the tree. He sat up and looked around to see the bodies gone. "How the heck did you pull that off," Gamdori asked barely rising to his feet and shaking.
"Simple, we all made shadow dopple gangers," Sakura said, "Except Arron, Kakashi made one that looked like him, but you were too arrogant to even think that. That illusion gave Arron more than plenty of time to get behind you and attack."
"Alright you posses a little strength," Gamdori said, "I might have underestimated you, but I won't do it again. I'm not like the idiot pig you defeated. I'm in a whole different ballpark."
"Enough bluffs," said Sasuke, "I'll turn you into glue." Sasuke started making hand signals. "Wind style, art of the air vacuum," Sasuke said. Then a sphere of wind appeared around Gamdori, and he began gasping for air.
"Sasuke, what are you doing to him," Arron asked.
"I just removed all the oxygen in that bubble around him," Sasuke answered, "He'll suffocate in a few minuets."
"Amazing, I've never seen that spell done correctly," Kakashi said lifting his headband, "I should copy it." Kakashi scanned and learned the technique. Then he noticed Gamdori passed out. Sasuke held it a few more seconds then, called the spell off.
"Boring," Sasuke said.
"Really," Gamdori said getting up, "You underestimated me." He came around to slice Sasuke's head off, but Naruto came up and blocked the attack.
"Now Sakura," Sasuke yelled. Sakura sliced a nearby rope and a net came down to catch him. Then Arron jumped up and gave Gamdori some swift kicks and punches as if he were a punching bag. Then Kakashi threw several shuriken at him. They all hit and Gamdori bleed (it seemed) to death.
"Yeah," Arron said, "How about them apples, horse boy."
"Actually, some apples sound really good now," Gamdori said. There was a fowl and evil charka coming from his body. "If I were a human, I might be dead now," Gamdori said as his wounds began to heal, "Thankfully, I'm no mere human, but a horse demon. You think you can kill something as powerful and wrenched as a demon that fast." His feet began to expand and grow fur. His shoes and pants ripped off to reveal his 4 house feet and tail.
"He's turned into a centaur," Sakura gasp. He pulled a spear from his back and charged at Sakura. Naruto jumped in the way to block the attack, but Sasuke threw a shuriken and knocked the shuriken out of his hand.
"Crud, Sasuke did it again just to make me look bad," Naruto thought. Then, Gamdori turned to attack Sasuke.
"I've noticed that you can use the Sharingan Eye," Gamdori said charging, "I hope you realize that you can't copy most of my attacks, because they require demonic power. That stupid boar was an idiot to underestimate you."
"And so are you," Sasuke said standing still. Then the spear jutted into Sasuke. It turned out to be a log.
"Nice try, but that won't work," Gamdori said. Then, he found that his spear was stuck in the log. Four Sasukes came from all angles. Gamdori swung to find that all were logs as well. This was repeated 4 times. He swung again, and all were logs. Then one fallen log turned into Sasuke. Sasuke stabbed him in his front, left leg.
"Hey Sakura, how'd Sasuke pull that off," Arron asked.
"First, Sasuke used the art of substitution, next, Sasuke used substituted decoys, finally, one "decoy" was the real deal disguised as a log," Sakura answered.
"Oh, I get it," Arron said.
"I don't," Naruto said puzzled.
"Bonehead," Sakura thought. Meanwhile, Gamdori bound the cut.
"Now that class is over, I'll start recess," Gamdori said, "Art of the hyper gallop." Then, he seemed to all but vanish as he ran. He smashed Sasuke in the belly with the log as it fell off. He dashed around and cut everyone with the spear.
"I've got a plan," Sakura said, "Who's the fastest of us?"
"Either Arron or Kakashi," Naruto replied.
"If we channel all our combine chakra into Kakashi's legs, He can speed up.
"Why not Arron," Naruto asked.
"He has no chakra," Sakura answered, "He couldn't channel it." Just then, Kakashi got side swiped by the spear.
"That was so close," Kakashi said, "I nearly had a direct heart blow. I'm injured. You'll have to try to send Arron."
"Get ready," Sakura yelled. The 4 ninja started making identical signs.
"Art of the sonic dash," the shinobi said in unison. Arron began to run at about half the speed of Gamdori.
"You'll never catch me," Gamdori said way ahead of him. Arron speed up as much as he could, but still fell behind. Arron bent down, caught a rock, threw it in the air, and kicked it at great speed. The rock hit Gamdori's injured leg, and he slowed to Arron's speed. Arron caught up and jumped on his back. Gamdori began to buck.
"Now Sasuke," Arron yelled. Sasuke threw 5 Shuriken, and they hit Gamdori in the heart, both front legs, and his right arm. Arron fell off the side passed out.
"My demon brethren will avenge my death," Gamdori said before falling down graveyard dead.
"What happened to Arron," Sakura asked scared. Kakashi turned him over to find Sasuke's 5th shuriken. "Sasuke, you killed him," Sakura yelled slapping him as tears ran down her cheek.
"I…killed a comrade," Sasuke said dropping his head.
"Don't count me out yet," Arron whispered as Sakura held his head up, "It takes way more to kill me."
"Arron, your alive," Naruto said.
"I'm just glad that Sasuke considers me a comrade," Arron said and fell asleep.
"He must be exhausted from channeling all that charka," Kakashi said, "Sakura, bound up his wounds. We camp here for the night." They all set up camp and rested for the night.
