The Advent91: I would like to answer to a reviewer of Naruto seeming to not be smart as well as other things that I cleared up with DanteTheDevilAssassin. Now one would think that Naruto revealing a secret to another method of his teleportation was not smart, but let me tell you why that does not matter. When Naruto touched Guy's left hip imprinting the seal with his chakra upon said hip it is meant to stay there for some time. Now all though this was not stated anywhere in the story that is what it is meant for. It would have been discovered by Guy anyway even if Naruto never gave him hints in the first place because someone like Guy would think back to figure how and when he did it.

If Naruto didn't say anything, Guy would think back in his memory to figure it out and he would have thought "When he touched my left hip!" He would have looked back seeing the answer and put two and two together showing that Guy is a smart ninja. So basically it would have never mattered if Naruto didn't tell him and most likely he already knew this, but there is another reason as to why to tell Guy. It's another tactic called…Fear. I hope that at least some of you realized this.

As for the issue of Guy taunting does not suit his character or portrayal. Of course it doesn't suit him. Remember this in the previous prologue…

"That would be quite the feat to accomplish. But, Naruto, you and I both know that you are not going to get past me."

"Is that arrogance I hear in your voice, Guy?" Naruto asked as he walked forward. "That is not like you?"

Now that last bolded part is Naruto basically saying with what it obviously says that arrogance is not like Guy, as well as taunting. Let's not forget how it says…as he walked forward…This is meant to at least make the reader THINK that Naruto is CALLING GUY'S BLUFF because of the way he walks forward without concern or fear. Taunting can be used as a tactic to make the opponent feel that he doesn't have a chance on some level. So, no, I didn't not change Guys character because that would not be the funny Guy we all know and love. As for Sarutobi's punishment of making Naruto do paper work this is not a punishment that would make Naruto angrier toward the Leaf, but more like annoyed. Plus Sarutobi telling Sakura and Sai of this punishment I want everyone to remember the smile he had on after he said that.

This could mean two things…

ONE: He meant his punishment upon Naruto IF he is returned to the Leaf village…

OR!

TWO: He is only joking. Most likely this one because it would not fit Sarutobi's character punishing Naruto after he left the village for reasons that he could understand.

So I hope that cleared up some things, and now I am going to shut up and let you enjoy Prologue Part 4: Bloodshed.


Standing upon the beaches looking out amongst the bay that had boulders sticking out of the water before him was Naruto Uzumaki a.k.a The Crimson Warrior. Behind him was the tree line he emerged from. Now that he was here he realized something and it was not good, and it was that he was almost out of his own Chakra seeing as using his method of teleportation requires quite the amount. Not to mention that chakra he gathered for the Fire Annihilation he planned using against Team 7 was interrupted by Guy. What a waste that was as well as his Rasengan missing thanks to Kakashi saving Sasuke from the blow. Now even though he was the container of the Nine Tails sometimes the Nine Tails refused to give Naruto its chakra, and one of the reasons why he wasn't going to offer Naruto any was because of the way Naruto took chakra from it for his battle against Might Guy.

But then again Naruto has always said that he didn't need the fox's power refusing to let the fox think that he was in control because next thing Naruto would know as the fox would say something such as without him he would be dead or nothing. Since the fox was not going to lend Naruto chakra that also means that he was not going to help Naruto in terms of healing because the fox knew that the Leaf had no intention of killing Naruto, but only bring him back to the village. Naruto right now still had some chakra left for things such as walking on water but he wasn't going to try running across it to someplace like Water Country because that was too far. He was not going to go to Port City that was close by because he may never know that Leaf ninja may be there possibly waiting to ambush him or are searching. Naruto lowers his head letting the locks of his hair shadow his eyes as it seemed like there was nowhere he could go. His right hand closes into a fist, and then he begins to chuckle?

"Seems that I have nowhere to go then, huh?" He asked himself.

Soon a certain someone would catch up to him very soon as he could feel his chakra getting ever so closer to his location. He didn't feel any other presences coming toward his area eliminating the possibility of Leaf ninja closing in on his location or were with Sasuke. It was Sasuke all alone. Naruto did not want to lose to the village being taken back, and he was not going to just up and surrender when Sasuke arrives. He was not going down without a fight. So the only thing he could do was just simply wait as he continues to look upon the water before him with orange colored sky above along with the setting sun. Naruto brought a hand up to his chin as he observed the sight before him and said…

"Quite the sight…"

Back within the Hidden Leaf Village within the hospital standing by the window looking outside was Sakura watching the approaching evening sky with its sun that was setting. Sitting with the seat she was sitting in minutes ago was Sai and he looked to be painting something but more like an unconscious someone who was sleeping in the hospital bed recovering.

The Third Hokage was not within the room anymore as he left to go and attend to other duties of a Kage, but he didn't leave without telling both Sai and especially Sakura to NOT tell anyone that Naruto was the son of the Fourth. It was to remain hush, hush. Sakura somewhat disagreed thinking that if everyone was told that Naruto was the Fourth's son that they would then see him differently and realize the hero that Naruto was as well as the sacrifice of his normal life. Even so the Third told Sakura that they could not afford to have the enemies of Minato to learn this in any way since they didn't want Minato's enemies going after Naruto for revenge against The Fourth. With all of that said and done with Sakura agreeing as well as Sai he left leaving Sakura and Sai alone in the room with Kakashi.

Sai was wondering a couple of things about this Naruto character he has never before met as he continues to paint Kakashi in his sketch book. What he was wondering was how much Naruto meant to both Sasuke and Sakura due to the emotion they displayed having found out Naruto was none other than The Crimson Warrior.

Sai had knowledge of The Crimson Warrior, before he discovered that it was none other than Naruto himself, through the Foundation. The Foundation had gathered intelligence of The Crimson Warrior such as the number of aliases he had such as some calling Naruto…The Crimson, The Crimson Samurai, The Crimson Ninja, The Crimson Samurai Ninja or Ninja Samurai. These were not the hardcore aliases that he was known as by most though but merely small time known that was aliases commonly used such as amongst civilian populace. Besides the alias The Crimson Warrior he remembers that the Foundation learned of another alias that Naruto went by…

"What was it again…?" Sai wondered. "Oh my I have seemed to have forgotten. It will come back to me eventually." He then asked Sakura a question. "Sakura, why is it that you and Sasuke care so much to have Naruto returned?"

"Why?"

"Yes, is it because he was your friend?"

"To tell you the truth, Sai, many of us didn't treat Naruto as a friend."

"Why not?"

"Because we were stupid then…"

"Why did you as well as others think yourselves stupid?"

"…Let's just say that many treated Naruto as a nobody…including me. Many kids hated Naruto because of everyone saying that he was dangerous. I and Sasuke, as well as few other that knew Naruto never knew exactly why everyone saw Naruto being so dangerous. Even though we wondered this we still treated Naruto as inadequate because either most of the girls, including me and Ino, were too bust chasing after Sasuke."

"What made Sasuke so great that you would chase after him?"

"Well back then it was because he was of the famous Uchiha clan. Sasuke is handsome, strong, and was even named Rookie of the Year after we graduated from the Academy. Naruto back then, before he left the village and before how he is now, always tried talking with me." Sakura said as a small smile seemed to have come upon her face, but then it turns into a frown as she lowers he head. "I was a little girl back than and I though he was just being annoying seeing him as trying to get in the way of my pursuit for Sasuke. But now…"

"But now?"

"I realized…" She said and a tear goes down her cheek.

"What did you realize?"

"That…He…He was just trying to be my friend."

"Just to be your friend?" Sai asked as he finished painting Kakashi.

"I knew that he liked me…But I just gave him the cold shoulder telling him he was annoying, to leave me alone, and it was because everyone else looked down on him…So I did as well."

"But you still never understood why he was looked down upon by the villagers?"

"And now I do…" Sakura said as she remembered the hatred in Naruto's eyes, and she also thought she saw what appeared to be the eye of a certain fox. "It's because he is the container of the Nine Tails…I always said that he wasn't great, but he was from the very beginning. He is the hero that saved the Hidden Leaf Village from the Nine Tails."

"It is most shocking that Naruto is the son of the very man that sealed the Nine Tails inside of him." Sai said.

"That is something that I don't understand. Why would his own father do such a thing to his very own child?"

"I haven't the slightest clue, but there had to be a reason."

"But what is it?" Sakura asked turning around to Sai with dried tears.

"The only person that would know would be The Fourth himself."

"But he dead…"

"Now I remember the name." Sai suddenly said.

"What are you talking about, Sai?"

"Another well-known popular alliance Naruto is known by amongst the nations besides as The Crimson Warrior..."

"What is it?"

"It's…"

Naruto brings his hand down from his chin to closing his eyes as a smile comes upon his face followed by a chuckle. He had finally arrived and it took him long enough to get here…

"One sword keeps another in the sheath…Sometimes the threat of violence alone is a deterrent…Sometimes by taking a life others can be preserved…" Naruto said to seemed to say only to himself as he looked upon the coast before him as he stood upon the beach with a setting red sun coming down upon the horizon. "Do you know what this is, Sasuke?"

Standing behind him upon the beach was none other than Sasuke Uchiha not far away from him as Naruto still had his back to him.

"No. What is it?"

"It is the code that the Samurai live by…" Naruto answered. "When I took up the code of a Samurai, as the Crimson Warrior, I told myself that I would follow this code till the very end. See it as my new path in life. Yet I have threatened to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village…"

"You've threatened to destroy a village of innocent people?"

"NOT so innocent!" Naruto said aloud with a strict voice. "Tell me something, Sasuke?"

"Huh?"

"Do innocent people, villagers, chase young boys down the streets? Do they terrify one every time they threaten him with their torches and pitchforks?" Naruto asked. "Innocent-," and he said that word with sarcasm "-people, villagers, aren't supposed to do such acts as that now are they?"

"The only reason they did that was out of fear…"

"Fear? I suppose you mean in the demon plotting his next attack? To them I was only a monster, but the real monsters they were trying so hard to be rid of…" Naruto chuckled. "They needed only to take a look in the mirror, and that is the sad truth…For them at least."

"You pity the villagers?"

"Whoever said pity? I HATE them!"

"You just need to let go of this hate and get over it."

"Get over it?" Naruto repeated. "Says the one that has pledged his entire being to the sake of revenge, and revenge against his own big brother, Itachi Uchiha. You're one to talk about letting go and getting over it. And you know what's funny? That is what you and I have in common. You want the blood of your brother in the name of revenge of him having killed your family, while I on the other hand want revenge in one day making the Leaf village suffer for how they have treated, lied, and planned to do to me."

"…..You're right about that. Revenge and hatred is what we both have in common."

"What happened to the old you, Sasuke? The Sasuke that hated everyone, the Sasuke who cared about nothing else but placing his revenge upon all else?"

"The old me?"

"The Sasuke who has always radiated and reflected hatred form his body and through his eyes? Have you possibly gone soft? Have you let go of your hate and your pledge of revenge against your brother perhaps?" Naruto asked as he held his hands apart.

"HELL NO!"

"Did I strike a nerve?" Naruto asked with a chuckle.

"You said that you fought my brother?"

"What about your brother?"

"How strong has he become?"

"Well you are nowhere near his level and that is for sure. He is a true prodigy to the Sharingan. Have I not have fought him off successfully I would most likely be dead."

"What reason would someone like Itachi have to kill you?" Sasuke asked. "You never met my brother before?"

"Maybe I'll ask him that next time if ever I cross paths with him again."

"There is not going to be a next time…"

"Is that right? And why is that?"

"Because…You are coming back to the village."

"And here I thought you threatened to kill me. What a bore you are."

"You are on a destructive path, Naruto."

"And so are you. Another thing we both have in common. Isn't that funny? It is not only destructive but the path we walk upon is dark. The only difference between us in the dark concept is that I have been in it far longer than you."

"What makes you think so?"

"After your brother took the lives of your fellow clansmen it was right there you began following the dark, but I on the other hand have been with it from the very beginning."

"What?"

"Let me put it like this, Sasuke. You merely ADOPTED the dark. I…" Naruto looked over his shoulder. "I was born in it." And he said that with a smile. "I was MOLDED by it. I did not live to see the light of day before I was a man, but when I did the light was only…"

"Only what?"

"Blinding." Naruto said looking back ahead. "I am NOT the Naruto you and the village once knew."

"Blinding?" Sasuke repeated. "What was the dark, and what was the light? How does this make you different then you were before?"

"Before my life of bloodshed after leaving the village and taking down a new path in life began the dark was none other than the Leaf itself…All of its villagers hatred aimed toward me…All the secrets and answers that I have sought from the very begging being kept from me…The refusal to acknowledge me at least as a living human being instead of just an object of hatred, and a monster because of some Fuzz ball."

"I heard-,"

Naruto cut him off out of his head before the Nine Tails could even finish its sentence.

"And the light?" Sasuke asked as he walked to the shoreline off to Naruto's right staying apart from him while keeping his eyes upon Naruto.

"My light…It was leaving." Naruto revealed as he looked off to his right to Sasuke.

"Leaving the village?"

"That's right, but like I said the light was blinding to me."

"What are you trying to say in the end?"

"You think brining me back to the Leaf is going to make me have some sort of realization, realize that I was wrong and have a boo hoo sob monologue-," Naruto said bringing a fist up to under his eye making it look as if he was wiping away tears. "this and that, whatever. It is not going to change my views."

"What are you saying? If you were born in darkness seeking light that was only blinding to your eyes then what isn't?"

"What I am saying...is" Naruto turned his form to Sasuke resting the palm of his left hand upon the hilt of his sword. "The darkness is where I remain."

Sasuke's eyes slightly widen at Naruto basically saying that there was no way he would ever return to the light.

"End of story." Naruto finished as Sasuke closed his eyes.

Even though Sasuke understood how Naruto was and where he was he was still not going to let Naruto get away. He wanted to make things different between him and Naruto, make them right, and it was being his friend like they should've been from the very first time Sasuke crossed paths with him. Sasuke's eyes opened revealing just his normal black eyes with no Sharingan. Naruto not seeing a Sharingan was surprised since Sasuke was always one to use his Sharingan, and was beginning to wonder why. That is when Naruto saw Sasuke do something that made Naruto smile and it was Sasuke's left palm being placed amongst the hilt of his own sheathed sword behind his waist. Naruto assumed that Sasuke must have figured out the condition he was in being low on chakra, and understood that Naruto was not going down without a fight, so he would make things fair in this fight.

Sasuke motioned his head off to his right upon the water, Naruto's smile turned into a smirk as he and Sasuke turned walking upon the and amongst out into the water.

"Sorry that you feel that way, Naruto." Sasuke said as he and Naruto continued to walk. "But I have something to tell you…"

"And that is?" Naruto asked not looking toward Sasuke's direction.

Sasuke turned his head toward Naruto and said "I don't care!"

Naruto smirk got bigger with a chuckle following afterwards. "That's better, the Sasuke I prefer, and I like that."

The two came to a stop turning to one another as they held their hands aside away from the hilt of their swords. This was what this battle was going to be, a battle between swordsmen with no tricks. That meant no ninjutsu, genjutsu, or doujutsu.

"We don't have to fight, Naruto." Sasuke said as Naruto held his smile. "Just come with me back to the village."

"You make it sound as if you have already won?"

"I know I have already won."

"Arrogant. Just like the old Sasuke. Good."

"I have been training hard, and even in the way of the sword."

"Are you sure about that? You didn't seem to wield it as good as before?"

"You caught me by surprise."

"Your right about that, and I admit." Naruto said. "Now then…"

"You're coming back one way or the other."

"You have many that clear many times before. But if I am coming back then I would prefer being dead."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. I would rather die than go back within those walls. What's better is that the fox inside me is holding somewhat of a tantrum. He is refusing to even heal even minor of wounds. So your chances of killing me have just been increased." Naruto revealed and Sasuke did not want to kill Naruto. "Either you kill me…Or I kill you."

There was a silence between the two of them as a leaf came blowing within the wind that begins to fall down toward the water both Naruto and Sasuke were upon. When the leaf lands upon the water between the both of them is when both of them reach for and draw their swords. Sasuke holding his sword in a reverse grip before him to his upper right and Naruto holding his sword before him like a traditional samurai would.

"Your running ends here."

"Ok…" Naruto said.

"What was the name?" Sakura asked back in the hospital of the Hidden Leaf village.

"The Crimson Wind." Sai answered.

"LET'S DANCE!" Naruto said aloud to Sasuke.

[OPTIONAL Fight Theme Song: The Only Thing I Know For Real (Maniac Agenda Mix)]

Sasuke narrowed his eyes upon Naruto as Sasuke began to slowly move to his left with Naruto just standing where he was not moving.

"It's just you and me, Sasuke!" Naruto said aloud holding his arms apart as well as letting his guard down.

Sasuke was reluctant to even attack since Naruto revealed the fox refused to aid in healing, and Sasuke did not want to risk killing Naruto. Naruto brought his guard back up as he too began to move to his left following Sasuke as he held his sword before him. As Naruto was watching Sasuke who hasn't even tried attacking even when he left his guard open he realized it was because he didn't want to cause any fatal damage. If Sasuke was not coming to him that Naruto would go to Sasuke, and at the same time make Sasuke fight him to the death.

"Here I come!" Naruto announced aloud as well as warning Sasuke.

Naruto dashed forward with great speed upon his feet as Sasuke took two steps brining up his sword blocking the strikes of Naruto's red sword. Every strike Naruto made upon Sasuke's sword sent out sparks making Sasuke back away staying on the defensive noting Naruto speed in using the sword was greater than before. Sasuke continued to block Naruto's fast strikes with his sword moving his sword to his left, right, above, low; it would be far easier to track if he was using his Sharingan.

"Difficult isn't it?!" Naruto taunted aloud as he delivered a right kick upon Sasuke sending the Uchiha twirling back in the air.

Sasuke recovers himself landing upon his feet and dashed toward Naruto.

"I won't lose!"

"That's your comeback?"

Sasuke upon reaching striking distance strikes with his own sword and Naruto began blocking all of his strikes to even ducking under a spinning kick to Sasuke then swinging his sword down upon the low Naruto. The Uzumaki of course brought his sword above catching Sasuke's sword upon his and threw Sasuke away through the air that flips recovers himself in midair to landing atop a boulder. As soon as Sasuke did he saw Naruto dashing across the water with the tip of his red sword within the water to his lower right. Sasuke quickly backflips up and away escaping as Naruto swings his sword upwards slashing up the boulder leaving behind a streak of red from his sword as the boulder splits in half. As the boulder split in half Naruto saw Sasuke still in the verge of his back flips and leaps up into the air through the splitting halves of the boulder. Sasuke still in the verge of his back flips looks up ahead where Naruto should be standing but instead sees the left hand of Naruto reaching out and before his face!

Naruto's hand successfully grasps the front of Sasuke's face and what happened next was they simply drop with Naruto brining Sasuke down with him. However it was not toward water as what they were descending down upon was a small amount of land that was nothing but rock. Sasuke during their descent counters by managing to swing his right foot for the top of Naruto's head and Naruto saw it coming. Naruto was forced to let go of Sasuke evading the kick as Sasuke flips himself landing upon the rock surface at the same time of Naruto landing before him, but Sasuke manages to quickly deliver a right punch to the side of Naruto's face sending Naruto flipping back through the air. Sasuke saw Naruto recover landing upon one knee upon the smooth rock surface while stabbing his sword into the rock slowing him to a stop. As Naruto was upon one knee with his head lowered a drop of blood drops from the tip of his chin having blood coming down from the left of his lip, and Naruto only grinned.

Naruto suddenly burst forward with a higher level of speed upon his feet shocking Sasuke because the next thing that happened was Sasuke's sword was hit up to above his head thanks to Naruto performing an uppercut strike with his red sword. Next thing Sasuke knew was Naruto had his left hand upon his face slamming the back of Sasuke's head into the smooth rock surface as Sasuke yelped aloud in pain.

"To slow!" Naruto taunted.

Naruto leaped back and away holding his sword before him as Sasuke picked himself up from the dirt looking woozy as well as dizzy from Naruto's slam. He could feel blood seeping down from the back of his head.

"Is this all the brother of Itachi Uchiha has to offer?"

Sasuke suddenly dashed forward after hearing that taunt and with anger in his eyes. Sasuke roared as he closed in on Naruto who liked what he was seeing bringing up his sword before him locking sword with Sasuke. Both of them were now face to face with one smiling while the other glares and growls in anger.

"Well I will tell you this, not bad for one being self-taught. But you have yet to impress me, Sasuke. Release the Avenger inside and show me a real fight, show me how good you are with that LITTLE sword of yours besides using it as your shield!"

"FUCK YOU!"

Sasuke was able to push Naruto away thanks to his anger making Naruto almost lose his balance as well as footing, but Sasuke took advantage as he performed a drop kick upon Naruto's chest sending Naruto back into a tumble along the rock surface. Naruto came to a stop upon one knee holding his sword out to his right now having some dirt upon his left jawline, a wound looking to be burnt skin upon his right cheek and his right shoulder armor looked to have a crack within it. Naruto smiled seeing Sasuke dashing toward him with the intent to kill in his eyes. The Crimson Wind quickly sheathed his sword and catches the blade of Sasuke's sword between his hands to flipping the Uchiha up and over tumbling into the rock surface and into the water. Naruto looked to where Sasuke was thrown in but five seconds later Sasuke comes emerging out of the water with his sword sheathed, and his sheathed sword was now within his left hand with his right grasped around its hilt. Sasuke was getting closer and closer to the turned Naruto ready to draw out his sword to perform a quick draw, BUT Naruto not even looking over his shoulder moves his eyes looking to his left knowing of Sasuke's approach while Naruto gave out a chuckle.

Naruto turns himself around while having his right hand before him at the ready as his left hands pointer finger was brought upon the trigger of his sword. He pulled back on the trigger shooting his sword out with chakra to his right hands grasp performing a quick draw to his upper right as Sasuke drew out his sword as well but was repelled by Naruto's. The collision of Naruto's sword against his made Sasuke turn in the air as Naruto then leaped up kicking his left leg into the rib cage area of the Uchiha sending Sasuke twirling through the air with his teeth clenched in pain. Sasuke lands upon water upon one knee with him reaching for his left rib cage area with his right hand growling in pain as he did, but he was forced to look up hearing a yell seeing Naruto descending down upon him going into a front flip first with red sword overhead. Sasuke brought his left hand with sword in hand in a reverse grip as Naruto's sword crashes down upon hid, and the crash of power upon his sword sent Sasuke shooting down and through the water kicking up water as he crashed through the surface of the water.

Sasuke seemed to have recovered quickly as he came emerging out from behind Naruto swinging down his sword to which Naruto brought his sword over his back blocking Sasuke's blade while turning himself around. Then they were both within a deadly battle of clashing their swords with speed as they circled one another. Naruto repelled Sasuke's sword forcing up and seeing the opening Naruto twirled his sword within his right hand to jabbing it forward for Sasuke's face, but Sasuke reacted quickly moving his face away to his right. Sasuke was unable to avoid the red sword as it cuts through the side of his cheek drawing blood now having a wound that almost resembled a cross, but at the same time Naruto's blade cut through his cheek Sasuke swung down his blade upon the right shoulder armor of Naruto. Naruto's right eye twitches as he can feel the sharp edge of Sasuke's sword having pierced through his armor cut within the top of his right shoulder, but Naruto still kept his smirk up regardless. Both Naruto and Sasuke separate from one another with Naruto sheathing his sword at the same time, and upon his landing there he saw Sasuke before him having leaped through the air toward him with a reared back right fist.

Naruto reared back his left fist and both of them throw their fists forward that were chakra enhanced, and both of their fists collide with one another's faces. Sasuke was sent shooting up into the air with Naruto shooting down through the water both at the same time. Sasuke descends down toward the water into a tumble to tumbling across the surface of the water and manages to flip himself into recovery. The Uchiha was upon a knee on the water with blood leaking down from both corners of his mouth now, but then saw a figure shooting through the water before and below him. Sasuke leaned himself back as it was Naruto shooting out of the water slashing his sword out to his right that just barely goes over Sasuke's chin. As soon as Naruto goes past and over him Sasuke gets back upon his feet turning toward Naruto's direction while Naruto twirls himself in the air while sheathing his sword to landing upon the surface of the water.

Sasuke with chakra enhanced speed dashed forward with his sword out to his right and swings his sword when he comes within striking distance of Naruto. Naruto evaded the blade flipping back and away while saying aloud…

"Let me show why they call me The Crimson Wind!"

Upon immediately landing Naruto pushed himself forward over the water toward Sasuke with a chakra enhanced leap forward with his right foot. What Sasuke saw as Naruto came forward at this speed was the color of his armor and leg cape looked to have left behind a sort of red lens flare of his form. When Naruto came close enough he pulled the trigger of his sheath shooting out his sword along with a boom performing a quick draw. His quick draw clashing against Sasuke's sword as he went past the Uchiha as his sword grinds along Sasuke's, and the strike of his quick draw made Sasuke lose balance as he stagger backwards while Naruto who passed him up turns himself around upon his feet while holding his sword out to his upper right. Now Sasuke sees why many called Naruto, The Crimson Wind. Naruto shot forward leaving behind a crimson while striking out with his sword passing him by, and if the attack of Naruto's actually have cut through Sasuke then it would have been as quick as the blowing wind, but only a deadly "crimson wind"

Naruto was not finished in his attack as strikes toward Sasuke in the same manner but this time he said aloud to…

"Get ready!"

Sasuke this time dashed TOWARD Naruto to strike against Naruto, but Naruto's quick draw clashing against his sword sends the Uchiha once again shooting back and through the air toward another boulder. However Sasuke recovers himself in the air with his feet landing against the rock and he leaps toward Naruto with a charge of chakra and with a yell Sasuke swings his sword forward that had a crackle of blue lighting around it. Naruto leaps toward Sasuke with his red sword now having red lightning crackling around it as well, and when both of their blades collide against one another the collision is so strong that it sends them both shooting away from one another with both of them crashing into individual boulders.

Both of them drop from the boulders they crashed in with Sasuke upon his knee and Naruto upon a single knee. The two bring their heads up looking toward one another with Naruto chuckling as now had blood coming down both the corners of his lips as well, and his armor now had some more cracks within.

"That's the spirit, Sasuke!" Naruto yelled aloud standing tall once again with red lighting crackling sword in hand.

"Come on, Naruto!" Sasuke yelled aloud back with blue lighting crackling sword within his hand.

Both warriors go into a low stance holding their swords out to their rights but in a reverse grip with both having the flats of their left hands upon the water's surface. Within both of their eyes there was hatred and anger, and both of them can see it within one another's eyes. They both shoot forward across the water toward one another running toward one another, and upon reaching center they swing their swords into one another clashing together. Upon the collision red and blue lightning mix making a sort of crater of water spread beneath their feet, and afterwards water explodes up engulfing both of them within.

[Optional Fight Them Song ends here]

Near the area of Naruto and Sasuke's conflict was Leaf Chunin Ninja totaling in a number of three, and their attention is brought away as they see water shooting up into the air close by that begins raining down. The Leaf ninja move toward the area of conflict. Back to the battlefield between both Naruto and Sasuke the two of them can both be seen washed amongst, and it was Naruto's hand that lifts up to dropping forward grasping around the hilt of his sword. Naruto slowly picks himself up with Sasuke doing the same following seconds later, both of them turn looking toward one another with their swords at the ready, and both low on chakra. Sasuke put almost everything he had into that strike with Naruto having done the same. Both of them suddenly dashed across the wet sand toward one another with Sasuke striking his sword toward Naruto who blocks as Sasuke's sword grinds along his, but at the same time Naruto moves past him to turning himself around slashing his sword down along Sasuke's back who screams aloud in pain.

Sasuke's blood is spilled across the sand but Sasuke turns himself around quickly slashing his sword across Naruto's chest drawing his blood as well that spills staining the sand as well, and he riles aloud in pain as well as both of them fall to a knee. Naruto brining his left hand upon his wound to looking at his own blood within his own hand as he held himself up with his red sword stabbed into the sand. Naruto chuckles making Sasuke look toward him with gritted teeth as he fights the pain upon his back. Naruto looked toward Sasuke seeing the Uchiha's anger in them…

"There is the old Sasuke Uchiha."

"Damn you, Naruto! You were always so stubborn and thick headed! You're coming back!"

"Still so naïve, Sasuke Uchiha. I told you that I would rather die, now let's finish this."

"You're not going to finish anything, Naruto." Nine Tails voice said in Naruto's head.

"Do NOT interfere!"

"I am whether you like it or not. Remember that if you die then I die, and I have no intention dying just yet. Not now, not EVER! Even if it means staying trapped within you. Besides, Leaf ninja, are coming our way, and you and I both know that you do not want to go back."

"Damn."

"You really are a fool. You would rather have your life come to an end just to not step within the walls of that village? Foolish human."

Landing behind Sasuke were a total of three Chunin Ninja of the Leaf, and they took sights of Naruto who was the target to be brought back to the Leaf. They saw the weakened state Naruto was in and were going to take advantage of it, but Naruto had no intention of going back to that village.

"Sasuke!" Naruto called to grabbing his attention while picking himself up with sword in hand. "The next time we meet…you won't be so lucky."

Naruto quickly reached within his pouch pulling out what looked to be a multiple of smoke bombs to which Sasuke sighted.

"STOP HIM!"

Naruto threw the smoke bombs toward the Leaf ninja that engulfs the ninja and area around them, and as they begin to cough a splash can be heard. When the smoke clears…Naruto is gone.

"Where did he go?" Sasuke asked.

"Either he left back within Fire Country or…" Leaf Chunin one said.

"He went for a swim." The second one said.

"I failed..."


The Advent91: Hope you liked it, and this was all inspired after Metal Gear Rising's chapter when you fight Jetstream Sam. I also hope you liked the song, if you played it, and hope it went well with the fight if you can imagine it at the same time as the fight in your head. The Prologue chapters are now over. Now remember that Naruto was LOW on his own chakra because of all he has been through so far, and Sasuke fought him on that level. Now if Naruto were not low on chakra and didn't piss off the Nine Tails then that would have been a different story. At least it was a fair fight though that I hope you all enjoyed as well as the Bane line that I had Naruto use, even similar lines from Jetstream Sam.

As for the nickname of Naruto's besides Crimson Warrior I hope you guys like The Crimson Wind as well. Another thing, just because Sakura fells guilty and stuff seeing her wrongs and wants to make things right does not mean that Naruto is going to paired with her. You may never know, and please don't go asking me not to pair her with him even if I were thinking about it calling her a bitch and all that as well as this other stuff. Everyone makes mistakes and in this fan fiction she did, she is human after all and she has learned from her mistakes.

One last thing is yes I have given Naruto sort of a Jetstream Sam personality but I wouldn't say concrete, but I still hope you liked it. Also I would like to say that if anyone is thinking that the title of this story should have been Naruto: The Crimson Wind instead of Warrior I will tell you the reasons as to why it will remain. Naruto in this story is not only someone in skill of a Samurai but also knows abilities of the Ninja, and since he is neither he is instead a Warrior. Just wanted to clear that up if anyone was thinking such a thing. More is to come so until the next update everyone!
