Chapter 2: Unexpected Help

"Someone came through the strange hole!" commentated Naruto. True to his word, there were now two new stranger standing facing off against each other not too far away from them. One is a well-muscular man wearing some sort of black armour. Naruto also noticed with disturbance that the man had gray skin and red eyes. Are those Sharigans? Is he an Uchiha?! The other, a much smaller figure stood with her back towards them. Since Naruto couldn't see her face, he could only assume her to be a female because of her long blonde hair. However, none of the two seemed to have noticed their presence as they exchanged some words with each other, or did they choose to write them off as not important? At this distance, Naruto was also unable to make out what they were saying.

"Thanks for stating the obvious!" retorted Sakura. It sort of became a pattern for her to point out Naruto's stupidity.

"Sakura-chan…" Naruto faked a cry of hurt.

"Focus," came Kakashi's stern voice. Quickly readjusting their positions, the team moved into a more defensive formation with Kakashi and Naruto in the front, and Sakura towards the rear since she is the team medic.

Just as Kakashi was about to ask the intentions of the two strangers, the bigger one of the two sprung into action. Contradicting to what his size would suggest, the big man moved with speed and purpose and slammed a fist right into the smaller female. What happened next shocked all the members of team seven. A seemly normal punch, (well, if you can count a punch from a ten feet tall muscular man to be normal) turned out to be more than that. Just the shock wave itself from the punch had enough force to knock down all the trees in a ten meter radius around the point of impact. The girl shot pass team seven at break neck speed and continued to crash into a hill on the other side, breaking through many trees in the process.

Thanks to their great reflex and experiences in battle, the shinobis quickly jumped up into the trees and spread out. The trees gave them some decent cover and high ground advantage. Readying themselves for a possible attack, team seven waited for the big guy to make his move. However, as if paying no mind to their existence at all, the giant man only walked pass them at a luxurious pace with his hands behind his back.

What? Does he not notice our presence? Thought a confused Naruto. No, he clearly saw us jump into the trees. Does he not see us as a threat? Surly, even the most rookie shinobi would know not to leave their back unguarded towards possible enemies! Looking around, Naruto noticed both Kakashi-sensei and Sakura shared the same confused expression, although, Kakashi-sensei supported a more calculating one.

"Foolish girl, you should have stayed away when you had the chance. Now, you will pay for your mistake." For the first time, Naruto heard the big man talk. His voice was deep and intimidating, it also didn't quite sound human? His presence was overwhelming. Even from his position all the way up in the trees Naruto could tell this guy was dangerous, if the previous show of strength was not already proof enough.

In response, the previously fallen girl only flew towards the larger man, aiming for a counter attack. Wait, flying? This surprised Naruto. How is she doing that? Some kind of jutsu? Of course no one answered his unspoken question. However, the girl never managed to reach the bigger man as he shot two beams out of his eyes and hit her straight on. Once again, the girl crashed across the field before coming to a stop.

Using his Sharingan, Kakashi just witnessed the big guy dispose of the smaller female twice. This is turning out to be quite the one-sided battle. He note dryly. Of course, the Sharingan also allowed Kakashi to see more than just what is on the surface; it allowed him to see the flow of chakura within a person and the jutsu they perform. However, this is what really confused Kakashi. In both of his attacks, there was no signature of chakura. How is he pulling this off? As if intentionally trying to confuse Kakashi more with his strange powers, the big man levitated into the air vertically and proceeded to move to hover above the fallen female. Again! There was no sign of any chakura being used, and he didn't even perform any hand signs! Kakashi was brought out of his own thoughts when the big man dropped himself onto the female with great speed. The attack went off with a loud boom equivalent to that of multiple explosive tags going off at once. The effect of the attack was even more devastating, there was a huge crate created from the force the big man used and a large mushroom shaped dust cloud shot up into the air. Even from some distance away, Kakashi was able to feel the tree shake and a few seconds later, the shock wave hit them. Kakashi had to apply chakura to his feet to stop himself from falling off of the tree.

Through the dust cloud, Kakashi was able to pick out in the center of the crater the figure of the big man with his foot planted on the head of the female. It was a direct hit? Is this fight over? As if to answer his question, a strange red beam similar to the one the big man used before shot out from under his foot. Clutching his foot in discomfort, the man back up from where the female lay on one foot. With the force holding her down now gone, the girl sat herself up straight. She survived something like that? True to his observation, the girl only looked a bit winded, but other than that, she seemed fine, although a little pissed. Blue eyes quickly turning bright red in a show of her anger and the strange red beams once again shot out from her eyes. Her opponent recovered quickly and brought one of his hands up to block the beams. From the point of impact on the man's hand, the beams deflected outwards around him in a globe like pattern. It was quite pretty to watch if not for the fact that the beams destroyed everything in their paths.

Team seven watched on in awe as the big man slowly made his way closer to the female while deflecting the beams with his out stretched hand the entire way. Just as he is one step away from the girl, the man made one final push and grabbed her head right in his hand. Picking her up, the man delivered a powerful kick into the girl's stomach and sent her flying skywards. This time however, instead of falling and crashing from the force of the attack, the girl caught herself in mid-air and remained hovering.

With her position in the sky, team seven was able to take in the girl's full appearance for the first time. Said girl had long wavy blonde hair that fell freely to her waist. Her eyes, framed by long lashes were an icy blue that held certain defiance and determination in them. A straight nose and full lisp, she seemed the picture of perfection. She wore a blue shirt that hugged her frame and impressive curves perfectly. It ended at the top of her abdominal and exposed her toned mid-section. Underneath that, she wore a blue miniskirt that ended just above her knees along with a golden belt to keep it in place. It left very little to imagination. Looking lower, she had a pair of red boots with gold trims on as foot ware. To finish everything off, she had a long flowing red cape that made a great colour contrast with the rest of her outfit. The cape also had gold trims around it and flowed freely against the evening wind. However, the most noticeable feature was the giant symbol "S" print on her chest and the back of her cape. With the setting sun behind her, her appearance almost seemed mystical and out of the world beautiful.

The peace of the image was broken when three sets of two beams shot up towards the girl. Right away, the girl jumped into action and flew around in the air trying to dodge them. What was unsettling to team seven was the fact that the beams actually turned in mid-air to continue their pursuit of the girl.

"Kakashi-sensei! What should we do? Do we interfere or leave them be?" snapping back into reality, Sakura finally managed to ask.

"No, we stay on the side lines and watch for now," replied Kakashi, "they seem content with just fighting each other. I would prefer to gather more information on them before engaging in unnecessary combat."

"But Kakashi-sensei! The girl needs our help. Clearly you can see she is losing this battle!" cried Naruto.

"My answer is still no. we don't even know if she might be an enemy yet, and with the type of battle they are having, I doubt we will be able to offer much help anyways." Reasoned Kakashi.

"It is the right thing to do! We can't give up before we even tried!"

"I'm with sensei on this one Naruto, or are you so smitten over the pretty girl to have forgotten your duty as a shinobi?" retorted Sakura, "the safety of your comrades comes first."

Naruto looked shocked for a second before his face turned tomato red, "of course I'm not smii..ittten," he stutters a bit, "all I'm saying is we should at least do something. This is inside the fire country border after all. It could be an attack on the country itself!"

Sakura was about to say something in return but was stopped by Kakashi's out stretched hand, "Stop it, both of you. Now is not the time. Also, I never said we weren't going to do anything, just keep watch for now. Remember, a true shinobi only strikes at the right time."

After that, the team went back into silence, observing the battle from their hiding spots.

In the meantime, the red caped girl did a series of impressive maneuvers in the air and came up behind the bigger man. The man did not pay much attention to what she was doing. He seemed content with just standing there with his hands behind his back and observing the display. It is as if he is certain of his victory and is only playing with the girl for his own amusement. However, the girl was able to exploit the man's lack of attention as she came up right behind him. Putting her arm around his neck and stepping on the back of the man's knees with both her feet, she managed to do a mid-air flip and brought the man in front of her. In the next second, the beams hit the man in the chest straight on and sent him crashing across the field, a taste of his own medicine.

"Wow, nice move." supplied Naruto from the side lines. As if she had heard him, the girl turned her gaze towards their direction. She couldn't have heard that, right? I mean I spoke really softly and she's pretty far away from here…. Thought Naruto.

The moment was interrupted when the big man once again came flying towards the girl. While she was distracted by Naruto, the girl had no time to react to the next punch that sent her plummeting straight down to the ground, creating another huge crater in the process.

"Impressive," said the man as he lowered himself to the ground, "As the captain of my honour guard, you could have been the most powerful being in the universe, but now, you must die." To put his words into action, he shot a continuous beam of the same red energy at the downed girl. Within seconds, she was engulfed in a sea of red energy, with debris and dust flying everywhere.

No longer able to stand on the side lines anymore, Naruto jumped out from his hiding place and ran towards the big man.

"Naruto!" came the surprised cry from Sakura. But Naruto paid her no mind and kept on going. When he made up his mind, Naruto never looked back or gave up. That is his ninja way, and he is going to save this girl, even at the cost of his life!

Throwing a kunai into the back of the man to get his attention, Naruto stopped around ten meters away from him. As expected, the kunai did nothing to the man other than bounce off his back harmlessly. However, it did the trick. The man stopped his onslaught of attack and turned to face Naruto, amused.

"Leave the lady alone, and pick on someone your own size!" shouted Naruto while setting up his trade mark hand sign for kage bunshins and prepared for battle.

And done! It went by a lot better than I expected it to. I know I left it at a cliff hanger, but that's the way to go! Hope you guys like the story so far, don't forget to like and review!
