Disclaimer: There are no new characters, so I should say I don't own the other Naruto characters besides the ones I've already mentioned.
A/N: After two months, here is the next chapter of the story. And it's approaching the end, only a few more chapters to go. I hope this one is good. Well, read on since a lot of you don't read these anyway, you go straight to the story.
Chapter 15
Ultimate Clash! Naruto vs. Michael!
When the smoke cleared from the chakra clash, the spectators could see Michael jump back towards the wall. He quickly pulled out a kunai and waited for Naruto to attack. In about a second, there were a total of four Naruto's charging him. "Shadow clones, impressive," Michael muttered. He pulled out a shuriken and threw at Naruto, and then he did a single hand seal, "Shuriken Shadow Replication Jutsu!" (didn't know the name of it, if you do please tell me). The shuriken multiplied into a storm of them. The Naruto clone's each pulled out a kunai to block the attacks. But they weren't very lucky since some of them hit each clone. Michael scanned the field, but couldn't see anything. "A decoy." He jumped to the side a second before a fist came out of the ground to attack him. Turning on his heel, Michael did a few sets of hand seals. "Fire style! Fireball jutsu!" he commanded. A giant fireball shot towards Naruto, but he disappeared. "Damn, another clone."
"Got you," Naruto said. His foot came out of nowhere and smashed against Michael's jaw, sending him into a wall. "I'm the man."
"Is that the best you can do," Michael taunted as he stood up from the rubble. "That was the weakest kick in the history of kicks."
"Shut the hell up sensei," Naruto breathed.
"Then prove me wrong," Michael grinned. Naruto ran forward, a white ball surrounding his fist. "Spirit Fist of Absolute!" The fist never connected however, since Michael caught it with his left hand. He then threw Naruto into the air, and did a spin kick into the blond ninja's abdomen. Naruto grabbed a hold of the foot and twisted around to place a heel drop onto Michael's side. He coughed up blood, and sweat began to pour off his face as he hit the ground and rolled to the side before getting back up. "Still not enough, come at me like you want to kill me!"
"You got it!" Naruto roared. He did a few hand seals before touching the ground, "Spirit Claw Jutsu!" Michael saw the claw coming and quickly jumped out of the way.
"Pathetic," Michael muttered. His eyes went wide when Naruto appeared in front of him. "Too fast..." he breathed. A fist with white energy pounded into Michael's chest and sent him spiraling into the ground. But the blond wasn't finished. He did a few hand seals and ran forward and took a deep breath.
"Fox Style! Spirit Lightning Jutsu!" Naruto commanded. A surge of lightning shot out and engulfed Michael, creating a huge explosion. Naruto breathed heavily as he stared at the huge crater in front of him. Everyone looked down with wide eyes at what Naruto was able to do. They all thought the match was over, even Naruto.
"Hmm, you're not worth my time kid," a voice breathed from behind him. Naruto's eyes went wide as he turned to see the face of his sensei glaring at him. Michael took his fist back and pounded it into Naruto's skull sending him into the crater that was just formed.
"Now, let's see how you like it," Michael smirked. He did a few hand seals, and then jumped into the air, "Fire Style! Meteor Shower Jutsu!" A storm of fireballs shot into the crater, and made it even bigger. "I'm having fun," he laughed as he landed on the ground, not a single drop of sweat evident on his body, just a little bit of blood. A whip of white chakra suddenly shot out of the smoke and towards Michael. He did a single hand seal, "Fire Wall Jutsu!" A wall of fire shot out to block the attack, but the whip changed course and went around it and struck Michael in the side. "What the hell, it isn't a straight attack!" The fire wall disengaged, and Michael flew through the arena and into the far wall.
"Like it," Naruto said in a happy sounding voice. "It's my Spirit Whip Jutsu. And just like a whip, I can control which way it can go."
"No wonder," Michael grumbled as he got out of the rubble. "I hope you're ready to feel some real pain."
"Bring it sensei, I know you have a soft heart, so you won't do anything that can actually kill me, so I'm not scared," Naruto smiled.
"Is that so. Well, this is a tournament, and I plan on winning," Michael breathed. "I'll even kill you if that's what it takes."
"You wouldn't," Naruto challenged.
"Then just watch me," Michael breathed deeply as he did the sets of hand seals required for his attack. Naruto's eyes went wide when he finally realized what he was doing.
He's going to use that same move he used after we left Konoha Naruto thought to himself. "You mean that dimensional jutsu?" Kyuubi questioned. 'Yeah, the very one,' Naruto replied. "Damn, I remember that move, and it was really powerful."
Flashback
It had only been about a few days since Naruto and Michael left Konoha. "Where are we going to go first?" Naruto asked his sensei.
"I think we will head to Bird Country first, and then move around a bit, and then end up in Wind Country," Michael replied.
"Cool, maybe we can visit Gaara or something," Naruto cheered.
"Sure thing," Michael smiled. As they walked they could feel some people approaching.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" one of the men asked.
"Some lost kids," another man grinned.
"I'm 20 you bastards," Michael grumbled.
"You're still a kid to us brat," another one of the group chuckled.
"You're just a bunch of bandits, so leave us alone and no one gets hurt," Michael warned.
"What can a bunch of kids do?" the lead one asked.
"Simple," Michael breathed. "Naruto, stand back." Naruto did as he was instructed and watched as Michael did a set of hand seals.
"A-A ninja," one of them choked.
"There just a bunch of kids, so they can't possibly know any advance jutsus," the leader said. Michael opened his eyes and revealed eyes that looked like a dragons.
"Dimension Summoning Jutsu! Flame Obliteration!" Michael commanded. The bandits stared in horror as the trees disappeared, and they stood in nothingness.
"W-What are you doing!" one of the bandits cried.
"Giving you your due," Michael breathed. They stared into his eyes, and gulped. "Now, feel the wrath of the fire, and the mighty fire dragon demon." He took another deep breath, and the bandits now saw fire surrounding them. Naruto gulped when he saw what his new sensei was doing, he never heard of a dimensional jutsu like this before, and it was freaking him out. "Now Die!" Michael roared. The fire shot into the group of bandits, and then began to expand. A huge explosion of fire followed, and the entire dimension was covered in flames. But the weird thing was, Naruto didn't feel the flames at all, same went for Michael. The diminsion then suddenly begin to disappear. When it was gone, the tree's were still standing, but there was blood all over them. Naruto never saw an attack so horrible for a few years, it was incredible.
"What was that?" Naruto asked his sensei.
"A dimensional jutsu," Michael replied.
"Can I learn something like that?" Naruto asked eagerly.
"You will learn it when the time is right," Michael answered. "Truth is however, if you use it as a human, you need a whole bunch of chakra. But, if you were a half demon, half human, you could pull it off no sweat."
"So, are you tired then sensei?" Naruto asked.
"Nah, I still have quite a bit of chakra left," Michael answered. "So don't worry. Let's move on shall we."
"Understood," Naruto nodded. The two of them then bounded through the forest and towards Bird Country.
End Flashback
Naruto took a step back when he saw Michael open his eyes and reveal the dragon like eyes that he had. "I'm sorry Naruto, but this is the end."
"Damn," Naruto breathed. "He only uses this as a last resort, but he never uses it more than once. A strong person could survive it with their chakra, but I'm exhausted all ready."
"Time to feel true pain!" Michael roared. Naruto could see his eyes looking straight at him, and only him. Last time he could see them looking at only the bandits all around him, but never him, even the ones that were close to him. "Dimension Summoning Jutsu! Flame Obliteration!" The world suddenly disappeared, and the whole stadium was in an alternate dimension. Naruto took a step back and watched as fire began to surround him. "Now Die!" The fire shot towards the boy with lightning speed. Naruto closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable to happen. At the last second a mix of red and blue chakra surrounded Naruto, but the flames still hit. Everyone watched as the fire expanded and created a huge explosion that covered everyone. But, after a whole lot of screaming, they found out that they couldn't feel the flames at all. When the dimension disappeared, they knew that Naruto was probably dead. Some were sobbing, while others were rejoicing. Tenten felt her heart break, and Shizune couldn't believe that Michael would even do that to Naruto. They waited for the smoke to clear, and some prayed he was still alive, but only a few. Michael stood sill, his dragon like eyes fading away, he didn't need them at the moment. But, if somehow Naruto survive, he would probably have to resort to his special kekkei genkai to win. This special kekkei genkai can only be wielded by those who have had a dragon sealed within them. And he was one of them. He watched anxiously for the smoke to clear, he really wanted to find out if he needed it.

Chris smiled from his spot in the stands. "That was an interesting choice of attack," he smiled.
"What do you mean, he just used his special technique that involved the dragon eyes," Kyle said.
"I still like seeing it, each one of us has an attack like that," Chris said. "But each is different than the last."
"Yeah, but we can only use it when this damn curse seal is active," Kyle breathed. He lifted up his hand and touched the spot where his curse seal was located.
"I know the feeling," Chris nodded. "We can't even do what Naruto and Michael can do anymore. We only have the level 2 form to fall back on."
"Remember, it is as strong as the third form of Michael's transformation," Kyle reminded him.
"You're right," Chris agreed. He felt his curse seal begin to pulse and lifted his hand to touch it, and knew what was coming. "Guess we need to get going."
"You're right, this match is over anyway," Kyle nodded. Chris watched Kyle turn and head towards the exit, he shrugged a little before following him. He stopped suddenly when he felt an increase in chakra. He turned his head slightly to see a mix of red and blue chakra creating a dome around a figure.
"It can't be," Chris breathed.
"What!" Kyle called back to the hunched man.
"That brat is still alive," Chris said with a hint of shock in his voice.
"Well, well, it seems my brothers special attack failed," Kyle mused. "Now, things could get interesting. Too bad we can't stay."
"Why?" Chris asked.
"We have work to do, and must meet up with the others," Kyle said.
"Can't the resurrection of that bastard snake wait?" Chris asked.
"No, he is our master after all, we need to do what the curse seal commands us to do," Kyle replied.
"What about Sasuke, he has a curse seal, but he isn't reacting to it?" Chris questioned.
"Wrong, when he fought Naruto, that idiot blond was able to destroy the seal completely," Kyle replied angrily. "I hate that kid."
"I still want to see how this fight will turn out," Chris groaned. "But, duty calls." Chris sighed deeply as he marched out of the arena, right behind Kyle. Once they were both outside they bounded off to the meeting place. It was time to begin their plan for world conquest. And no one was going to stop them, and Kyle knew it.

Tenten saw the dome of red and blue chakra that surrounded Naruto and sighed with relief. "He's alive."
"Yeah, but barely," Sasuke added.
"I agree, that was a really powerful attack, really hard for anyone to survive it," Tsunade agreed.
"I can't believe Michael would use something like that on my student, correction, my old student," Jiraiya commented.
"At least he's alive, that's all that matters," Shizune said. "But, that was still an awesome attack. Go Michael!"
"Calm Shizune," Tsunade said.
"Look whose telling who to calm down Tsunade-sama," Shizune glared.
"Easy now ladies," Jiraiya said. "Now Tsunade, how bout we go have some real fun." A vein appeared on Tsunade's forehead as she took her fist back and pounded Jiraiya down a few seats.
"For the last time, stop hitting on me!" Tsunade warned.
"Y-Yes Tsunade," Jiraiya struggled.
"Geez Tsunade-sama, you should give him a break," Tenten commented.
"Never," Tsunade huffed.
"Women are so troublesome, even a Hokage one," Shikamaru sighed.
"Now, not all women are bad," Temari said.
"Yes they are," Gaara said in a monotone voice.
"Are you implying something little brother?!" Temari screamed at Gaara.
"Yeah, you are really troublesome," Gaara commented.
"Great, another Shikamaru," Temari grumbled.
"Go Gaara! You are the man!" Kankuro cheered. A nanosecond later a fan pounded into his head.
"And you should just shut up," Temari glared.
"Y-Yes Temari-chan," Kankuro coughed.
"Better," Temari said with a smile. Everyone else watched the exchange between both Kankuro and Temari, and Tsunade and Jiraiya. They all had sweat drops as they watched this. They each turned back to the battle and just watched it, they were not about to help the two helpless men at the moment, it wasn't worth it. You could either help them and get beat up by an angry women, or you can just ignore them. So, they ignored them.

Michael took a deep breath as he saw that Naruto was still alive. "You're lucky," Michael sighed.
"Ya, I barely survived that," Naruto said. "And now, I'm going to finish this."
"Good luck," Michael breathed. He closed his eyes before opening them again. "Dragon Eyes!" His eyes returned to their dragon like form, and he took a fighting stance. "Come at me," he challenged. Naruto obliged him by running at him, his kunai drawn. Michael grabbed a hold of the wrist that held the kunai and twisted around, sending a punch into Naruto's back, which he simply dodged. Michael rolled to the side again to dodge another attack from Naruto. "Is that it."
"Just wait jackass," Naruto snarled. He did a few hand seals, "Spirit Style! Wind Cutting Jutsu!" A huge gust of wind shot out and began to rip Michael's body. The ninja grunted with each attack before rolling sideways to escape the attack. He then did a few hand seals.
"Dragon Style! Burning Hawk Jutsu!" Michael commanded. His eyes turned crimson as he shot out a blazing chakra attack, which was in the shape of a hawk. Naruto did a single hand seal.
"Spirit Wall Jutsu!" Naruto commanded. A wall of chakra appeared and blocked the attack. Naruto then felt a kick from behind and flew through his own chakra wall, and landed on the ground.
"This is boring time to end this," Michael grinned.
"Not so fast. I'm taking you down!" Naruto roared. He did a single hand seal and took a step back. "Spirit Transformation Jutsu!" Michael watched as a wave of chakra surrounded Naruto.
"Two can play at that game," Michael breathed. He did the same hand seal and smiled, "Fire Transformation Jutsu!" A wave of chakra surrounded him as well, and the spectators were blinded by the power. When the light from the chakra died down, they saw Naruto in the form which he used against Sasuke and Gaara standing there. Michael on the other hand, had a red cloak around his body, and red eyes, and the dragon eyes were still active as well. His hands were wrapped in a red cloth, and his hair became longer and spiked, and also was colored red. A sword was also strapped to his back. "Been a while since I've had to go into this form."
"So, you ready to continue this," Naruto grinned.
"Sure, let's see who the best is!" Michael roared.
"Once and for all!" Naruto answered the roar with his own. The two charged forward at lightning speed. A sword of red and blue chakra appeared in Naruto's hand, while Michael had his own blood red sword out. The two swords clashed together and created an explosion of red and blue chakra. This was it, the match has finally gone into overdrive, but who would win. Everyone was ready for the answer to this question, but at the moment, it was anyone's game.
To be continued...
