Chapter 2: Unfair Battle
-Naruto
It was totally unfair. I was supposed to fight in the yearly battle where ninjas hone their skills, with a broken arm. Not to mention the fact my body hadn't completely recovered; Tsunade must have gone insane. Was she trying to kill me? I was supposed to fight Jounin level shinobi when I could barely form a hand sign? I guess I should stop complaining though, as long as I can summon, there won't be a problem.
-Kiba
Tsunade must've gone insane, along with Naruto. I was supposed to fight Naruto while he had a broken arm and was obviously in pain? What a joke. Not only might I kill him but I probably would do some sort of irreversible damage to his body which would be completely stupid because he's Konoha's greatest weapon at this point; I guess I'll just have to go easy on him.
-Naruto
I leaned forward, ready to fight. Kiba obviously thought I was insane to show up here with a broken arm but I really didn't care; one arm was all I needed to take him down.
The fight started and he raced towards me. I braced myself and formed Fire-style hand signs as fast as I could which really wasn't that fast with this arm. I readied the jutsu and blew the fire out of my mouth. Kiba had improved because he used an Earth-style to get away from it; clever of him to find my weakness so quickly. I used Wind-style and got into the air before he could play any tricks on me. From this angle, fighting him would be a cinch.
I readied another Fire-style jutsu and prepared to attack the ground with it, while I totally missed Akamaru right behind me. Before I knew it, my leg had a giant gash in it and I was on my knees. Getting away wouldn't be so easy anymore.
The villagers were cheering me on; they obviously expected me to win. I had bad news for them though; I think I just might lose. Kiba was strong, not that strong, but strong. And with me having a broken arm…I looked out at their expectant faces and instantly realized that I couldn't lose. They were looking up to me, not only as their Hokage, but as a person too. There was no way I could let them down.
I desperately tried to ignore the pain as I struggled to my feet. I had to win this fight. Even more people believed in me now. Not only my father and Jiraya…but the villagers too; I could do this. I readied a Water-style this time and tried to fake Fire-style signs, although I didn't do a very good job. But if he couldn't see my hand signs…that's it!
I hid my hands as well as I could while still forming Water-style signs. I felt Akamaru's chakra behind me and turned around, firing a Water Pistol at him. He whimpered and fell to the ground, blood covering his leg. One down, one to go. I readied a Thunder-style attack next, hiding the symbols the same way I did before. Kiba had rushed to Akamaru's side so I could hit them both at the same time. Thunder-style: Thunderbolt I thought before I brought the electric bolt down from the clouds, aiming it towards the duo.
I thought I hit them because of the fried piece of ground that was left but I didn't see any bodies so I couldn't say anything for sure at this point. As long as I injured them though, beating them would be easy. I searched the ground for any sign of motion or life but all I found were tons of wild animals. Were they underground?
My question was answered as I turned around to come face-to-face with Kiba who was obviously pissed off at me for hurting Akamaru. One swift movement and another broken appendage. This time, my face was covered in blood and from the looks of it, my nose was broken. "How DARE you hurt Akamaru," Kiba growled to me while I just sat there and took it.
"Um, this IS a battle Kiba; someone is bound to get hurt. I mean…look at me. I'm a mess…"
"I don't want your sympathy and I don't care what happened to you, I'm getting revenge for Akamaru."
"Wait Kiba, we could kill each other if we fight anymore…"
"I told you, I'm getting…revenge!" he told me before throwing a chakra filled punch into my gut and the entire world went black…
-Kiba
I think I went too far this time. Naruto looked to be dead, lying on the ground like that with all the other shinobi surrounding him and Sakura trying desperately to revive his dead body, but she should just give up. None of it was any use, the 7th Hokage was dead.
-Naruto
I looked around in a strange world. I had never seen this place before; it certainly wasn't Kyuubi's realm, so what kind of place was it? The whole place was covered in a shade of blue, although you could clearly see the other shinobi who were gathered around something. I went towards the group and pushed my way through but nothing would have prepared me for what I saw in the center: my dead body.
I gasped as I stared at the lifeless piece of flesh that was sitting on the ground. I was dead. I looked around me at the faces of the other shinobi. Some were crying, some looked guilty, others looked angry. The mixed emotions of the ninjas seemed strange; they looked like they were directed towards me. What had I done?
