Wow, I actually manage to write this just this evening? Boy, I'm good :D
Seriously though, thanks to everyone who reviewed the previous chapter. I'm glad you liked it, coz that was my favorite from the Wave Country mission as well… to all of you guys that are getting bored with this fight I have good news: it's really at its end, as well as the whole Wave Country mission and right after that we return to Konoha for the Chuunin Exam! Soon you'll met some new shinobi (not just from the Leaf). As to how the exam will look like… you'll see once we get there.
Now, without making this longer (since my free time is limited) here's the newest chapter of "Naruto Beyond":
Chapter #19: No Turning Back
Chapter Cover: Urusai is hanging upside down from the tree branch with his foot caught in a trap and below him Jun is showing him his middle finger
"Naruto-sensei!" Ayame yelled as she grabbed her teacher while he fell to his knees. "Naruto-sensei, are you okay?" and with that she glared at Genko, who was standing few meters away. "With such wounds, Naruto-sensei has no chances at victory…"
The blonde jounin propped himself against the ground with his hand. As his fingers sunk in the puddle of his own blood, he raised his sight at the missing-nin. The white-haired man smirked and crossed his arms with confidence.
"So, are you still gonna fight, or are you just gonna give up?" he asked as his smirk widen. "That second choice will surely be less painful, you know…"
"Give up?" repeated the blonde jounin with a sudden smirk appearing on his face as well. "Why would I give up when victory is at hand? No, actually I'll give YOU the last chance to spit out why you guys want Urusai so badly and if you won't tell me, I assure that you'll die tonight…"
"You're really priceless…" responded Genko, yet his confidence seemed to faded a bit. "What do you expect to do with such wounds? Even you're demon won't help you heal them fast enough… But you got me interested… show me what you're planning to do…"
"Certainly…" replied Naruto as he threw several kunai straight at the missing-nin. The white-haired man however deflected them with ease using his own knife. Some of the knives flew away, some struck into the roof Genko stood on and one sunk into the ground.
The missing-nin's smile disappeared as he noticed tags wrapped around the knives he just deflected and jumped away, hoping to avoid the trap in time. "Explosive tags…" he stated as the explosion broke the roof he stood on a second ago into bits. "Do he really expects to catch me on that?" and with that thought he began performing hand seals.
Just then few kunai sunk into his body, yet that didn't make him lose his concentration as he finished his technique: "Hijutsu: Rakurai Tsukau no Jutsu!" and right before Ayame's eyes thunder shoot from the sky right towards the white-haired man, just to start circling around him, no causing any damage.
"A bloodline limit user!" Kakashi's daughter noticed instantly as he looked with horror at the thunder that separated into smaller charges and all flew directly at the blonde jounin, who now stood behind the missing-nin, aiming another kunai. "Naruto-sensei!" he managed to called out before her teacher got hit but the lighting.
But to Genko's surprise the blonde only disappeared in the cloud of white smoke. "Kage Bushin?" wondered the missing-nin. "He must've created that clone when I was avoiding those explosive tags and the explosion covered my view… I guess I may have more bushins to destroy… however the way to uncover the original is so easy…" and with that he fired another thunder, this time at the surprised Ayame.
The kunoichi got paralyzed by fear. She felt her legs becoming stone as the electric bullet came at her at an incredible speed. In the last moment the blonde jounin pushed her away, getting hit by the lighting and disappeared in the cloud of white smoke as well.
"Not this one either…" Genko sighed internally as he fired another bullet at the young leaf-nin. "But as long as I'll keep attacking the girl, he'll have to protect her… my technique doesn't require much chakra… but he has that damn Kyuubi… going on like this can take forever to decide the victor…"
"Seems like keeping that thunder circling around you requires to hold your hands in that seal…" noticed the blonde jounin as he appeared on a nearby roof. "So by making you drop the jutsu, you'll become defenseless… shouldn't be that hard to do…" and the instant he said so another Naruto came charging at the white-haired man with an intend to pierce through him with the katana he held in his hands.
Genko instantly released another electric bullet, which hit the incoming blonde, making him disappear in the cloud of white smoke. Immediately two, other whisker-marks men charged at him with kunai ready in the hands. Also those clones were destroyed by the lightings however.
But as more and more bushins came at him, it became harder for the missing-nin to destroy them all in time and thus, finally, he was forced to use his hands in defense. The moment he did so, almost all the clones got dispelled by receiving a direct hit from the white-haired man's kick or punch.
"So many clones at once…" Ayame's eyes stayed widen as she observed the fight. "Surely what he shown us during our exam was nothing… and still that Genko guy manage to destroy all of them… is there really no way to defeat him!"
"Finally you dropped that damn jutsu of yours…" noticed Naruto that stood on the roof. "Time to finish this then…" and instantly he performed a single hand seal. Immediately five flames shoot towards the sky, one from the puddle of blood that the whisker-marks sunk his hand earlier, another from the kunai that struck into the ground after being deflected by Genko.
Before the missing-nin could do a single thing, lines of symbols appeared around him, forming a pentagram with him in the middle of it. As he looked to his feet, he saw the symbol for 'death' appearing below him and just then his body stopped listening to him. "What the…?"
"Remember how I told you bout the time I fought Hoshigaki Kisame in the Land of Grass?" asked the blonde calmly. "The truth is I'd have died that day if it wasn't for a friend of mine… coz this is the same thing that Kisame and his partner used to trap me… funny one really, coz it paralyzes only demons… but with that artificial, demon chakra you have, I guess you qualify…"
"I don't get it…" announced Genko calmly, yet sweat dropped from his face. "If you could do this the entire time, why didn't you?"
"The truth is there are special requirements that has to be made to perform this one…" replied Naruto. "You see, first I had to write a special seal with my own blood and then place it around you in five places, creating a circle… after that I needed to place the same seal on you… then all that was required is to activate the trap with the single hand seal…"
"Don't tell me that…" began the missing-nin, knowing the answer.
"It's exactly as you picture it…" interrupted the blonde. "You really should have took out those kunai that sunk into your body in stead of performing that jutsu… one of those knives has the tag wrapped around it with the seal I told you about written with my blood… that time when I hid my hand in that puddle of blood… I was placing the first kunai. Those kunai I threw afterwards, never meant to hit you… the explosive tags were suppose to allow me to create enough clones to distract you while the original would plant other seals… conveniently I decided to throw one knife with the seal and you deflected it so that it fell right in the place I wanted it too… and that clone that was ready to attack you from behind with kunai right after you performed your technique…"
"His mission was not to hit me either…" finished Genko through clenched teeth. "He was placing another kunai…"
"Preciously…" nodded the blonde, earning Ayame's surprised glare. "Just as I promised you… you'll die tonight…"

Jun jumped back as lighting shoot down from the sky in an attempt to hit him. The young Hanayaka looked at Hekireki with anger in his eyes. Urusai was already charging at the missing-nin with his kunai ready, but the blue-haired boy only smirked as he announced: "An act of desperate shinobi, eh? But you know, that knife of yours is made from metal and funny thing about metal is, that it…" the moment he said so the blonde got electrocuted by the thunder that felt from the sky. "… attracts lightings…"
"Urusai!" the black-haired gennin called out as he saw his teammate landing on the ground, barely breathing. "This is not good at all… it's almost as if we're having nature against us… you can't tell from where exactly the attack will come and what's worse, that guy doesn't even seem to perform any hand seals before dropping those thunders on us… so what's the secret behind this? Bloodline limit? Or is it his Bijuu ability?"
Just then Hekireki went through some more hand seals and once he finished, he called out: "Raiton: Ikazuchi Nami no Jutsu!" As he did so Jun's eyes widen as a large charge of electricity rushed at him on the ground.
Having no, other way to dodge the young Hanayaka jumped into the air. However that was exactly what the missing-nin wanted. As a small smirk appeared on the former cloud-nin's face, lighting shoot from the sky again, hitting the gennin.
Jun let out a scream of pain as he felt to the ground, barely conscious. Hekireki walked over to the shaking leaf-nin as his smile widen: "You're actually pretty lucky… since my mission is to bring your friend alive, I was using a charge that wouldn't kill him… I forgot about that detail, coz if it wasn't for that, that thunder that just hit you would be way more powerful and you'd be already burned to a crisp… oh well, no harm done…" and the moment he said so, electricity shoot from his hands. "I'll finish the job now…"
"Ain't you forgetting something?" he suddenly heard a voice and as the missing-nin turned around, he received a powerful punch in the chin, which send him flying into the air. Urusai, who was the one to attack him, jumped right after him, keeping the blue-haired boy right above himself: "I don't know how you manage to make those thunders attack us, but it doesn't seem like you have control over them and they're just blindly attacking us… and since that's the case, one should be coming at me as we speak… lets see if you're immune to your own technique!"
The instant he said so, another lighting came from the sky in an attempt to hit the blonde, however having Hekireki in its way, the missing-nin got hit in stead. The Konoha shinobi only smirked: "Seems like I was right…"
As they both fell to the ground, Urusai manage to land safely on his feet while Hekireki crushed hard against the surface. The blonde immediately ran towards his teammate, who was shaking as he slowly got back to his feet.
"Nice going, bonehead…" Jun complimented his partner as he looked at their opponent, who also got back to his feet. Even though his skin was burnt in several places, just like the young Hanayaka's, the missing-nin didn't seem to be effect by it as much.
"How is this possible?" demanded Urusai surprised. "That bolt hit you, you should be in similar state Jun is! How the hell you can stand so easily!"
"You really are an idiot…" stated Hekireki simply with a smile. "Raijuu is the master of lighting, so it's only natural that he absorbed most of that attack… with my own techniques, you won't defeat me…"
"Then there's only one option left…" stated Jun calmly as he picked out two kunai and kept looking at the missing-nin. "Time to show you why Hanayaka is one of the three, strongest Konoha fire using clans…"
"So, you're finally gonna activate your bloodline limit?" asked the blue-haired boy with a smirk. "Akusai talked about it, but I never saw it with my own eyes…"
"Take a good look then…" replied Jun coldly.
Is Genko really finished? What is Jun's bloodline limit? Coming up: the battle comes to an end! Who'll prevail? You'll have to find out for yourselves!
And now, something that I asked Shang about and he allowed me to use that idea, so here is the character profile of the main hero of the story! In the next chapter, another profile will appear. Originally it was suppose to be Jun's but if you want someone else, just let me know. Now, let's get on wit it:
Name: Kodawari Urusai

Birth Date: 1st of April
Blood Type: 0
Height: 142,9 cm
Weight: 49,6 kg

First appearance: 1st chapter
And lastly, the jutsu encyclopedia for this time around:
Hijutsu; Rakurai Tsukau no Jutsu (Secret Skill: Thunderbolt Manipulation Skill) – a technique used by Genko. To put it simply, the user first releases chakra from his body, making it spin around him with the use of the right hand seals. Once that is done, the released chakra attracts thunders, yet doesn't allow them to hit the user. Once the thunder starts circling around the one who executed the jutsu, by getting filled with chakra, it gets under the users total control (type: ninjutsu; used by: Genko).
Raiton: Ikazuchi Nami no Jutsu (Thunder Element: Lighting Wave Skill) – simply speaking, it's releasing chakra into the ground in the form of a thunder. Such 'wave' moves at an incredible speed in the direction the user wants it to (type: ninjutsu; used by: Hekireki).
And so this chapter really ends. Hope you liked it.
Cya all!
