The Advent91: Back with yet another update for Naruto: The Crimson Warrior and it is still within a prologue. Glad to see that you guys and gals who have read, commented, favorite, or all three like this fan fiction. Now the sword Naruto has is like that of Jetstream Sam's from Metal Gear Rising, but it does not look all advanced. It does have the trigger to fire the sword but in this version of the sword it is stored up chakra that fires the sword out. So don't think that the mechanism that stores Naruto's chakra when he channels it within looks like the magazine of a gun. I have not given the sword a name and am thinking about calling the sword MuraMAsa instead of MuraSAma.
The name of Sephiroth's sword from FFVII, or was it Masamune? Anyway the reason is because the ways I have him use Octaslash growing his blade to seven feet like how the Samurai of Iron Country are able to increase the length of their weapons as well.
I received a PM regarding Naruto's own version of the Flying Thunder God of how it is done. First of all I would like to say that it is NOT the Flying Thunder God just to get that across. It works in somewhat similar fashion but it is not as fast like speed of light, or does not use the same seals. Now how he "teleports" is like how a ninja in the Naruto World uses a summoning. He releases his chakra that finds and detects the summoning seal around his three pronged kunai replicas, and once he has a fix on it he summons himself to it moving in Thunder God fashion BUT NOT as fast while still being fast. Another is that the same person wondered about the size of his three pronged kunai to which I wonder why that is important. The answer to that is that they are not as big as Minato's were being a little smaller and a little less heavy, but that is how I imagine it so feel free to imagine it how you please.
Anyway enjoy the second part of the prologue.
It had not been long since Naruto fled away from his battle against Team Seven, and away from Guy's interference. He continued to dash across the grassland heading in the direction of a nearby town that was actually twelve kilometers from the Leaf village, a town called Otafuku or what it was more popularly known as, Homely Woman Town. It was a town that is marked by many hotels and entertainment venues as well as home to the Fun Fun Street pleasure quarter. Naruto leaps up into the air landing within the trees traveling from branch to branch until soon coming to a landing upon one now looking across into Otafuku. Now of course one would think that it was not wise to go into a town especially into one that was in Fire Country, and being one that was sought out by many Leaf ninja that were still out searching for him. The thing was they believed that he was on the run heading in a direction leading out of the village, and not thinking that he would go into another town risk getting spotted.
The plan was to lay low in this town under the Leaf's nose, and when things calmed down he would just walk right out the front door so to say. Naruto just hoped that there was no surprise waiting for him in this village either, especially no Bounty Hunter that would say his name out loud like that one idiot fresh of Bounty Hunters. Thinking about that guy annoyed Naruto but he quickly dismissed him out of his thoughts. Speaking of thoughts Naruto was starting to hear the voice of someone he didn't appreciate…
"You should have killed them, Naruto."
"I have no interest in conversing with you."
"If you would have borrowed my power you would have destroyed those Leaf ninja in an instant, and they would never have to bother you EVER again."
"And I am pretty sure by what you mean by "borrow" is take me over, right?"
"What would make you think that of me?"
"Don't try acting innocent, it doesn't suit you. You would do anything for some type of control or freedom to do whatever you want. Even if it means taking me over so that you can do as you please. Do you take me for a fool, Nine Tails?"
"Although you aren't and that it infuriates me, but at least my container is no fool or weakling anymore. You used to be so kind…Acted like an idiot for the smallest shred of attention…So WEAK...So SOFT, A FOOL!"
"Look who's talking…"
"What?"
"For the mighty Nine Tailed Demon Fox, the most powerful of the Tailed Beasts. You were foolish enough to get yourself sealed inside me by a single man." Naruto replied back within his mind as a small smile adorned his face.
"I would never have been trapped in this body of yours by your father if it wasn't for him!"
"And who is him?"
"Wouldn't you like to know…?" The Nine Tails replied after a chuckle, and ends conversation with Naruto.
"Who is this him he was talking about?" Naruto asked himself. "Whatever. Probably making things up just to mess with my head, but I won't let him get to me. Anyway time to find a place to lay low."
When he entered the town he remained to the shadows moving through the crowds so as to avoid detection mostly traveling through alleys within the town. Within one of the alleys he appeared within he took notice of a brown cloak that looked to have tears upon its bottom edges, the edges of the collars, and even the hood it adorned. As he walked over grabbing the abandoned garb he took notice that it didn't appear to have any foul smell to it, and best of all it was just his size to put on as well as a perfect disguise. The reason this could be a perfect disguise to him is because of the clothing of course looking to belong more to that of a homeless individual allowing him to walk the streets. Taking advantage of this he put it on, and when it was upon him all that can be seen was his black ninja sandals, and gloves. The hood shadowed his face and his sword was hidden underneath the cloth as well so this was going to make it difficult for any Leaf ninja to find him.
"This should do for now." He told himself as he walked into and now upon the streets joining its crowds.
It was at this moment that another team of Leaf ninja numbering in four arrived within town landing upon the roof of one of the town's many buildings. Want to know who they were? Let's just say two of them looked to have the same bowl haircut with bushy eyebrows along with one female having hair buns, and the other having eyes that would make one believe he were blind. It was Guy along with Rock Lee, TenTen, and Neji Huyga as the Taijutsu Expert was still upon the search for Naruto.
"Ok then team. Now if my calculations are correct then Naruto fled somewhere off in this direction." Guy said aloud.
"How could you possibly know when he left no trail behind?" Neji asked. "How do you even know he is in this very town? For all we know he is heading straight for Fire Country borders."
"Call it the fiery passion of my youthful gut my student!" Guy spoke proudly.
"This is ridiculous…"
"But I also made a promise to Kakashi and his team to continue pursuit after Naruto. Kakashi's team is taking him back the Leaf village at full speed as we speak. Naruto's attack really did the number on him, and it is amazing."
"So how is it that someone like Kakashi lost to this Naruto?"
"Do not underestimate him, Tenten."
"Huh?"
"Naruto has been amongst the wolves so to say longer than either of you as well as your graduating class. He has been running amongst the lands since he was barely seven so who knows what surprises he has up his sleeve. From what Kakashi told me before he was taken back to the Leaf by his team, Naruto took him down with just a single strike from that of a technique he had never heard of."
"Are you serious?" Tenten asked. "A single strike!"
"So what was this technique he used, Guy sensei?" Lee asked.
"He called it Octaslash, and it sounds like something of his very own creation. The strike was so effective that Kakashi's chakra was reduced to critically low levels, and he felt physically harmed at the same time even though there was no evidence of such upon his body where he was struck." Guy informed.
"Sounds nasty…" Tenten said.
"And painful from what Kakashi said." Guy added.
"So we are just going to have to watch out for that one attack then?" Neji asked.
"That's right and also to beware of his teleportation method. You may not believe it but he can end up right behind you in just the blink of an eye so be sure to watch your back when we cross paths with him."
"You mean if we cross paths with him?" Neji asked.
"So should we split up and do the same Kakashi and his team did searching Tanzaku?" Lee asked.
"Yes, but you three will travel together as a group while I search alone. That way if either of us finds him we can at least hold him at bay until either one of us arrives to take him in."
"Sounds like a plan then, but I have to agree with Neji on this one Guy sensei. The chances of Naruto being here or even come here are very low." Tenten said.
"ALRIGHT!" Guy said aloud pumping his fist into the air. "LET'S MOVE OUT!"
"YES, GUY SENSEI!" Lee said aloud.
"How is it I even tolerate these two buffoons?" Neji wondered.
Somewhere within Otafuku, Naruto Uzumaki was looking for a hotel to check in seeing as he had money on his person that was enough to get him a room to stay in for a while. At least until things died down safe enough for him to move out of Fire Country. However it seemed that Naruto was having a streak of bad luck now as landing upon the street ahead of him was Might Guy and Naruto thought he had been caught but he noticed that Guy was looking around not noticing him. It looks like this disguise was most effective indeed so it was a good thing he took it when he did. It was also a good thing that he didn't stop walking because if he did then Guy would have taken notice seeing such a thing to be suspicious. So he just kept on walking with his head low walking RIGHT PAST Guy with his chakra suppressed to a low level.
"Excuse me young man?" Guy called out to making Naruto stop in his tracks.
Naruto right now had a worried look on his face with a bead of sweat going down his brow.
"Have I failed again in disguise?" Naruto wondered. Naruto turned around with his head low and replied with a low voice sounding like he was sick. "Yes?"
"I was wondering if you have seen anyone suspicious around these parts, mainly a blonde haired fifteen year body adorning red armor as well as a sword. Have you seen anyone close to that description around here?"
"I am sorry but I have not. Who is it that you pursue?"
"I am sorry but I cannot share that information."
"Oh, that's too bad. Did this person do something wrong?"
"What makes you think that?"
"Well you adorn the Leaf headband, and not to mention you are a Jonin since you adorn the vest. So he had to have done something? Did he commit some sort of crime?"
"No it's nothing of the sort."
"Then why chase this boy?"
"I am sorry but I cannot share that with a normal civilian either. You should get yourself checked into a hospital. You don't sound too well."
"Thank you…I was just about to go and do that actually."
"Well then I guess I will continue on with our search." Guy said. "Farewell and get well soon!"
Guy vanished with pure speed alone.
"Idiot." Naruto said in his normal tone of voice, turned back around continuing on his way.
Meanwhile on their way to the Leaf village was none other than Team 7 leaping through the trees with Sai leading the way as Sasuke and Sakura carried Kakashi. Kakashi was in critical condition needing medical attention, and both Sasuke and Sakura seeing Kakashi this way taken down by Naruto somewhat made them nervous. As much as both Sasuke and Sakura wanted to go back assisting in the search for Naruto they had to worry about Kakashi first. Both Sasuke and Sakura wanted to make amends for how they treated a young Naruto back then. Sasuke never really hated Naruto back then although he was annoying then constantly battling him in any field of training, but Naruto was his rival back then and ever since his desertion it has been really boring. Sakura especially wanted to make amends for how she treated Naruto back then when he treated her with kindness, especially wanted to apologize to him for what she said to him before the seven year old Naruto back then left.
"How much further are we to the village?" Sasuke asked.
"About five miles at least." Sai replied.
"The longer it takes for us to get to the village and Kakashi to the hospital, Naruto gets further and further away!" Sasuke thought and he was sure Sakura was along the same line of thoughts.
"Sasuke…?" Kakashi addressed to in a weak voice.
"Kakashi sensei, you shouldn't speak." Sakura said.
"I know, but Sasuke, I want you to go back and find Naruto."
"What?" Sakura asked.
"Sai and Sakura will carry me the rest of the way to the village. You are the strongest amongst this team as well as talented amongst your graduation class. You are the best chance of having a chance to bring Naruto back to the Leaf village. So I want you to go to Otafuku where Guy said he was going, find Naruto, and convince him to come back if you can." Kakashi took a breather. "Naruto doesn't see it but he is a hero that saved the Leaf village…even though the very village's people despise him. THAT is why is valuable to the Hidden Leaf Village."
"But Naruto said it was because he was the container of the Nine Tails?" Sasuke said.
"I will admit…What he accuses is somewhat true…There are high officials of the Leaf, and Fire Country that wish to abuse the powers of the Nine Tails so as to use Naruto as a weapon. But so long as he has us with him then that will not happen and so long as the Third is Hokage."
"I don't know if I alone can stand a chance…" Sasuke said. "He is the container of the Nine Tails, Kakashi."
"It is possible that he may have learned to manipulate the Nine Tails chakra, but you have to go after him Sasuke. Something tells me that Guy and his team, if they run into Naruto, won't be enough. At least with you there they will have backup. I know that you are just recently out of the academy, but you were Rookie of the Year." Kakashi said with a smile.
"Go Sasuke." Sakura said.
"Sakura?"
"Bring Naruto back, please?"
"Alright then…Sai!"
Sai slowed down taking Sasuke's with Sasuke landing on the next branch back flipping away turning himself around the other direction, and moved toward the direction Otafuku with chakra enhanced speed with active Sharingan eyes.
Meanwhile in Otafuku the three Genin consisting of Lee, Neji, and Tenten came to landing upon a water tower that was upon a small building looking down upon the streets in different directions. Lee and Tenten were looking with nothing but their eyes so it was Neji they were counting on most of all since he possessed the Byakugan.
"Neji, you see anybody with a red sword?"
"There are many small time samurai on the streets possessing swords. You want me to look at each one?"
"No genius, did you forget we are looking for a blonde?"
"I knew that."
"Something tells me otherwise."
Neji ignored her last comment focusing on scanning the street below him activating his bloodline looking upon the people below. If he saw anyone wearing a hat he was able to see through it, and not only that but also able to see past some genjutsu as well as transformation.
"This is a waste of time." Neji said. "There is no way he could be here. Why would he head into another town? Surely he would know the risks. So like I said he is most likely heading for the border as we speak with Leaf ninja on his tail."
"Are you calling out Guy sensei's gut?"
"Relying on a gut feeling is outright ridiculous." Neji said deactivating his Byakugan.
"Can you not complain for once Neji?"
Neji was not listening to her as he spotted one individual on the streets ahead of the one he just scanned with his Byakugan. The individual was dressed with a torn up cloak and to Neji that was suspicious. Neji brought up his hands creating a seal and called out his bloodline as his vision zoomed in on the possible suspect, and being able to look past the cloak he saw what he was really wearing under adorning a sword upon his left hip as well as armor. Now why would he need a cloak like that over it all? Most ninja and samurai that walked about didn't bother hiding what they wore but this one did?
"Possible suspect at twelve a clock." Neji said grabbing Tenten and Lee's attention.
"Where?" Lee asked.
"The one wearing the torn up cloak and hood over his head. Underneath it he is dressed almost like that of a samurai as well as armed with ninja equipment, and a sword."
"Is he a blonde?"
"As a matter of fact he is." Neji confirmed.
"So then Guy sensei was right after all?" Tenten said surprised.
"It may just be someone else completely with blonde hair, doesn't mean that he is the target."
"What do we do from here?" Lee asked. "Signal Guy sensei?"
"No."
"No?"
"I assume that by signal you mean flaring our chakra for him to detect it as well?"
"Yes?"
"We can't take that risk."
"Why not?" Tenten asked.
"Say that perhaps this is Naruto Uzumaki, and if either of us flares out chakra for Guy sensei then no doubt he will sense it as well, and run again. That is the same method Kakashi's team used, and he may be looking out for such a tactic."
"Then how do we approach him?" Tenten asked.
"He's going to see our Leaf headbands and will run at first sight anyway? All of us here can't transform since Lee is not so great at ninjutsu so what do we do?"
"We surround him from all sides so as to not allow him any means of escape, and then we will just ask him a simple question."
"Whatever you say…"
Naruto was walking amongst the street as he searched for a hotel to check in but also his senses up just in case if Guy possibly came back. He looked away to his left to looking forward again coming to a stop at the same time seeing one that adorned the Leaf headband upon his forehead, and it was Neji. That's when Naruto slightly looked over his right shoulder hearing Lee's feet land upon the ground, and then to his left hearing Tenten. Naruto was now surrounded in a triangular formation by the three Leaf ninja.
"Guy didn't come alone…" Naruto thought. Naruto coughed. "Can I help you?"
"Are you Naruto Uzumaki?" Neji asked.
"…Who?"
"You can drop the act." Neji said activating his Byakugan. "You can't hide from my eyes for they see everything."
"That's the Byakugan. Looks like I am caught. Today just isn't my lucky day now is it?"
"You have no chance." Neji said.
"Excuse me?" Naruto asked in his normal tone of voice now.
"Surrender? There is no possible way you can take the three of us, especially me." Neji claimed going into his stance along with Tenten and Lee doing the same as people started to back away seeing what looked to be a fight that was going to erupt.
Naruto chuckled. "Quite the arrogant one now, aren't we?"
"Please do not make us use force against you?" Lee asked.
"Spare me…Kakashi and his team said the same thing and look what happened to Kakashi."
"So you really did defeat Kakashi of the Sharingan." Tenten said.
"When one knows how to fight the Sharingan it provides you with an advantage." Naruto said. "Now tell me why it is that I don't stand a chance against you."
"Simply because you are destined to lose here."
"Destined?"
"Yes, it is your destiny to lose here to me."
"How foolish…"
"What?"
"Those who believe in destiny alone are nothing but morons. There is no such thing as one being destined to lose to someone. So are you saying that you are destined to never lose? Eventually there is going to be that one person that will take you down. What will you say then? That you were destined to lose then?"
Neji narrowed his eyes.
"One carves his destiny with his own hands. It's like how the Hokage of the Leaf became the village's previous leaders. It was not because they were destined to become Hokage for that would be ridiculous, but because they worked for it, and with their own very two hands. Your very belief in this destiny bull is just sad, and I pity you."
"What would you know?" Neji suddenly asked in an angry tone.
"I know more than you and that is for sure."
Neji suddenly dashed forward delivering a palm thrust but Naruto evades by back flipping high up into the air landing upon the corner of a building now looking down upon them.
"You have a short fuse when it comes to being wrong don't you?" Naruto asked and taunted heading off into another direction afterwards.
"He's getting away!" Tenten said aloud.
"After him!" Neji said aloud.
"I will intercept him!" Lee said aloud.
Naruto jumps from one building to the next heading south, but as he leap to the next building through the air the Leaf ninja Lee appeared before him performing a kick. Naruto however leaned his head down to his right as Lee's foot went right over him to Naruto reaching up his right hand grabbing Lee's ankle spinning him around throwing him down to the roof of a building. Lee lands safely upon his feet with Naruto landing on the next intending to continue his fleeing but Lee appears before his path in his usual stance.
"Quite the fast you are." Naruto said.
"You are not escaping this time, Naruto Uzumaki. I am Rock Lee, the Green Beast of the Hidden Leaf Village and strongest ninja!"
"You sound so very sure of yourself."
"Team 7 is talented but I assure you we have far more experience than them. This will be a difficult match for you."
"I faced and escaped squads of ANBU, defeated Kakashi, been amongst the world longer than any of you? So what makes you think that this match would be difficult for me? I hope that you make this somewhat difficult as it would be boring if it weren't."
"Your bluffs will not faze me."
"If there is one thing that I don't do…its bluff, and your about to find that out first hand. So let's see what the so called strongest ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village is able to do."
"Lee!" Tenten's voice called out.
Landing upon opposite sides of Lee was Neji and Tenten.
"Well it took you long enough to catch up and we were just about to start having fun."
"It's three against one." Neji said. "Surrender?"
"Three against one? How insulting that is." Naruto said. "I will ask you only once, and no more to step aside or fall?"
"We can't do that." Tenten said.
"You do realize that if you don't then I will be forced to take action?"
"I should signal Guy sensei while we still have him pinned." Tenten thought as she began to increase her chakra.
"Signaling Guy are we?" Naruto asked.
"How did you?"
"I ran into that idiot not long ago. We talked for a moment and he left without even the slightest clue that I was in front of his face the entire time. Guy may sense your chakra, but before he will even get here the three of you will be black and blue." Naruto said as a three pronged kunai came sticking out from under the right sleeve of his cloak. "I won't even raise my sword against any of you."
"That's quite the bold claim, but you are foolishly mistaken if you think you can beat all three of us so easily." Neji said.
"Don't worry. You'll be surprised in the end, but I am curious for what the Byakugan has to offer seeing as I have already had my fair share of fighting Sharingan wielders." Naruto said bringing up his right hand revealing his right glove out from under the sleeve of his cloak with three pronged kunai held in reverse grip. "And for the love of God don't disappoint me. Ok?"
Tenten to the team's right is the one to deliver the first strike throwing kunai toward Naruto whom at the same time throws a total of two of his own three pronged kunai replicas. The two three pronged kunai go over both Neji and Lee's shoulders but one of the kunai was thrown with more power thus going further ahead. The kunai Tenten threw at him were coming closer to Naruto's own face and before they even hit the Nine Tails' container vanishes from his position reappearing behind Lee catching the second thrown kunai of his. At the same time doing this Naruto reached a free hand grasping the back of the collar of Lee's jumpsuit, and Neji seeing this was going to counter against Naruto throwing a palm thrust toward the airborne Naruto. Like before though Naruto once again vanished this time taking Lee with him reappearing above the second kunai that was thrown further away, and upon his reappearance he spun Lee around while managing to catch his second kunai to throwing Lee down into an alley. Lee crashes into a wagon with the alley as Naruto himself lands safely upon his feet on a building slowly standing back up holding his left hand before him showing the two three pronged kunai he threw back in his hands.
"LEE!" Tenten yelled aloud in worry.
"How did he?" Neji began to ask.
Lee burst out of the rubble to front flipping up into the air landing upon the roof of the building that Naruto was on. Upon his landing Lee immediately dashes toward Naruto while Naruto himself tossed one of his three pronged kunai to his other hand to bringing his arms over one another in an X as his kunai were in a reverse grip once again. Naruto waited for Lee who quickly reached him striking with his fists and kicks but Naruto was either ducking under, leaping over, parrying away, or blocking Lee's strikes while backing away as Lee came forward. Lee leaps up into the air delivering a spinning kick that was meant for Naruto's face, but Naruto counters by throwing one of his kunai over his shoulder and quickly made the necessary seal teleporting back to his kunai evading Lee's kick. Upon Naruto's reappearance he simply reappeared just standing while swishing out his left hand catching his kunai as Lee dashed toward him once again. This time when Lee was close enough he throws a punch forward while Naruto brings up his right hand tossing it over Lee's left shoulder, the kunai spinning, and then Naruto teleporting again as Lee hits nothing but air with Naruto now standing behind him.
Lee looked over his shoulder as was too late to dodge the back of Naruto's left elbow he jerked back into his face sending him flying across the air. Lee flew over the edge of the building now in the air over the street and Naruto turns around toward his direction throwing a three pronged kunai once again showing he wasn't done with Lee. The kunai went right under Lee's form just under his legs and it was here that Naruto teleports to appearing under Lee's legs catching his kunai while reaching up his right hand grasping Lee's ankle who felt the grasp. Now Naruto and Lee were dropping down toward street level with Naruto dragging him down with him as he said at the same time…
"Tata…"
Naruto's intention was to either slam Lee down into the street below or either swings his face into it. It would have worked if Neji didn't appear below intercepting Naruto's path so Naruto countered by bringing Lee down in front of him to kicking off his body back up into the air in a backflip. Meanwhile from kicking off Lee he was sent crashing down toward Neji who caught him within his arms sending both of them back into a tumble along the street. People that saw this got out of the way quickly as they tumbled by crashing into a food stand. Naruto in the meantime lands safely from his back flip upon a new building looking down upon the street where Neji and Lee wrecked.
"Not bad for two Genin," Naruto said. "Their level is impressive." He looked around. "Now where did the girl go?"
Tenten appears behind Naruto unrolling a scroll with a bang of smoke coming afterwards, and shooting out of the smoke was a hail of kunai. Naruto looks over his shoulder seeing the kunai coming toward him, and calmly turns in the direction of the kunai holding his arms slightly apart to his lower left and right while releasing his chakra. Then all of a sudden Tenten's entire group of kunai stop in midair before Naruto shocking her.
"What!"
"Ah there you are."
"How are you doing that?"
"It's a jutsu used commonly by the ninja of Sand." Naruto revealed as all the kunai suddenly quickly turned around aiming toward Tenten who gasped. "Manipulating Attack Blades!" Naruto called out extending his right hand out before him making all the kunai now shoot toward Tenten at high speed.
Naruto's attack did not hit as appearing within midair before Tenten was Neji who suddenly spun around releasing chakra while calling out his technique deflecting the kunai away.
"ROTATION!"
"Now that's an interesting jutsu…" Naruto said who suddenly leaps up into the air as Lee appeared below swiping his leg for his. Naruto while in midair spun himself around delivering a chakra enhanced kick to the side of Lee's face sending the young ninja hitting against the wall of a small water toward nearby unconscious. "You have good speed but I think mine is better."
"Neji, he took Lee out!"
"Damn." Neji cursed as he kept his Byakugan upon Naruto who looks toward their direction.
"I warned you but you three refused to heed it, and now for the rest of you." Naruto dashed forward with increased speed with Neji doing the same, and upon meeting in center both Naruto and Neji are locked with one another between kunai, both of them were now face to face. "So much for the supposed strongest ninja of the Leaf, and now let's see what you can do Neji. Show me what the so called all seeing eye is capable of!"
Naruto breaks away from Neji leaping up into the air creating a cross seal of the Shadow Clone jutsu, and appearing below and around Neji were a multitude of Shadow Clones of the cloaked and hooded Naruto. They all attack Neji whom begins to counter against the strikes of the Shadow Clones with his very own demonstrating his superior taijutsu skills to Lees. Every clone that Neji countered against with a single strike sent them each up in smoke one after the other and at the same time smoke was starting to take up his perimeter. It was then that Shadow Clones came descending from all around him from the air making him perform the Rotation catching them all in his spin dispelling them as they one by one poof. Exiting out of his spin Neji suddenly turned to his right quickly brining up his hand catching Naruto's left wrist holding back the kunai that was inches away from his face, but at the same time he tried striking for one of Naruto's chakra points upon his chest with his left hand but Naruto catches his wrist stopping it. When the smoke cleared the only female member of the team sees both Naruto and Neji holding one another off, and she gave Neji a cheer.
"You think smoke is going to blind me? Not a chance. These eyes can see through everything you have to throw at me. You cannot win." Neji said.
"See through everything…" Naruto repeated. "Quite the bold claim there. Let's see if you're right about that." Naruto suddenly broke away once again putting distance between him and Neji. "Let's test the waters so to say."
"What are you up to?" Neji asked. Suddenly stabbing into the roof all around and surrounding him were multiple amounts of three pronged kunai. "What's this?"
"You claim that your Byakugan can see through everything just as how much your clan boasts how they are the strongest of clans." Naruto said as he just stood there ahead of Neji. "If your eyes are able to see through everything then surely you will be able to stop this."
Naruto then suddenly "teleported" reappearing next to one of his surrounding kunai dashing toward Neji from his right with another kunai in hand, and Neji barely took notice of him not having time to perform Rotation. All Neji was able to do was bring out a kunai guarding with it as Naruto dashes by grinding his kunai along with Nejis. Not even exiting out of the grinding of his kunai against Neji, Naruto teleported mid grind now dashing toward Neji from his left. Once again the only thing Neji was able to do was guard as Naruto was attacking, teleporting, attacking, teleporting, and repeat from all sides while moving a great speed. Neji was having hard time at first to keep up with his eyes but he was able to see it getting a little bit easier seeing a pattern in Naruto's strikes. Neji seeing Naruto teleport smirked turning to his left expecting Naruto to be striking from this direction, but he was wrong as Naruto suddenly came slashing his kunai down Neji's back making him rile aloud in pain.
Neji falls to his knees to his whole form falling forward as Tenten yelled his name aloud in concern. As Neji was on the ground for some reason he was not able to pick himself up? This was because Naruto had a paralyses toxin laced upon the one kunai he had in hand.
"So much for the Byakugan being as invincible like many claimed for it to be." Naruto said.
"Damn you! How?"
"Did you really think that I was attacking you like that indiscriminately?"
"What?"
"Like I said before…I was testing the waters…As I continued to attack you I watched with my very own critical eye. You were able to repel my attacks from all angles except for one. You have a blind spot from the upper back."
Neji growled.
"I was able to discover this since I went past that direction of views one or two times, so it seems that you CAN'T see through everything after all."
"Why you!"
"You talked so much of destiny…I guess it was your destiny to lose to me this day?"
"Ugh!"
"Perhaps this will open your eyes so as to see past your arrogance."
"You were acting arrogant of your ability as well?"
"It's not that I was being arrogant. I just know that I was more powerful as well as experienced then all three of you. Remember that I have been amongst the world for seven years. Don't worry about you not being able to move for you are simply paralyzed that should wear off in a couple of hours." Naruto turned around facing Tenten's direction. "Now for you…"
Tenten readies herself as Naruto walks toward her direction.
"I can't believe it. This guy beat Lee, and defeated Neji like it was somewhat child's play! If Lee or even Neji were not able to beat this guy then how can I?"
"Your beginning to doubt yourself, aren't you?" Naruto asked stopping in his tracks.
"What?"
"I can see it in your eyes. You shouldn't doubt your own ability even in the face of somewhat certain defeat. Even if you lose today you will only learn from it, and continue to grow stronger. If you're just going to give up right here and now then get out of my way, and think of the reasons why you even became a ninja in the first place."
"I should just do as he says and step aside a…No…No! I can't just give up like that." Tenten thought as her face turns into one of determination that Naruto could also see reflected in her eyes no longer seeing doubt.
"Now that's better." Naruto said. "But I am going to end this now and be on my merry way if you don't mind. Normally I would never hit a lady but you are more than just that. You are a ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village."
Naruto vanished from his spot with pure speed alone appearing behind Tenten jabbing the side of his hand into the back of her neck knocking her out. She falls back but Naruto catches her within his arms to laying her gently upon the roof the building. Afterwards he walked to the edge of the roof, Neji angling his face to look upon Naruto seeing him just standing there. He then watched as Naruto reached up his right hand removing the hood from atop his head showing off his blonde hair, and the wind blowing his cloak revealing a small amount of his garments underneath.
"I told you that you would be black and blue before your sensei got here. Goodbye."
Naruto steps off the edge of the building vanishing from Neji's sight, and within his fall Naruto vanished. At the same time seconds later was when Guy came upon his squad all defeated, and the only one conscious was Neji to whom he lands next to upon a knee.
"Neji, what happened?"
"Naruto happened…"
"Naruto did this to you!"
"We tried to stop him, but he overcame the three of us. Even me and my Byakugan…"
"Which direction did he go off to?"
"He is leaving toward the east."
"Save your strength." Guy said.
Guy quickly moved to Tenten waking her up.
"What happened?" Tenten asked. "Guy sensei!"
"Tenten, no time to talk, attend to Neji and Lee."
"You?"
"I am going after Naruto."
The Advent91: Naruto "shattered" them don't you think? Until next time!
