This is a major turning point in the bond between Naruto and Kyubi. They used to hate each other, but now they respect each other. Two forces that existed together in one body, now fight for control. One needs it. The other is testing. This will be the longest battle, with non-stop scenes with just them. Without further yapping...Chapter 20


Kyubi v. Naruto

Naruto did his classic smile. "I'm not the dumb kid you once knew anymore...though I can still be one."

Kyubi chuckled. "Your right, Naruto. Looks like I'm not the only one who hasn't been showing someone respect. From now on, I'll watch you carefully. Now..let's really start the fight."

The two warriors, with respect towards each other, jumped at each other. One warrior, the fox, was surrounded with red chakra. The other, the blonde, was surrounded in yellow chakra. They collided.


Naruto and Kyubi began to exchange blows. Kyubi, who looked exactly like Naruto, except he had the aura of chakra around him. Naruto looked as, what he would say adorable, as ever, but his body was outlined with a layer of gold (yellow, but shinier) chakra. Though fighting an intense battle, neither could help but smile at the challenge they were facing.

This is gonna be fun ( I hope) ... ... This is going to be fun (better be)...

Kyubi began to think. What can the brat do?...Rasengan...Kage Bunshin...anything else? obviously he's fast...and he's got a HIGH amount of chakra...even by my standards...

He continued to think...he probably has as much chakra as I do with three tail...that's not good...I should pay attention to the brat a lot more...Kybui chuckled...this was going to be a challenge...at least I overpower him...let's see what he's capable of doing...

Naruto began to take this fight seriously. He's powerful...probably stronger then me...but he's a lot slower...If I know him right...he'll just plan to overpower me...or...Naruto smiled...it was time to create one of his RARE but brilliant plans...he'll never see this coming...

Naruto jumped towards Kyubi, and he began to gather chakra in his right hand. The aura surrounding him, brightened as he said in his mind, "HIRAISHIN NO JUTSU!"

"What?" Kyubi snarled as Naruto came straight at him. What the heck is he thinking? Idiot...maybe he's not as strong as I gave him credit. Idiot...time to finish him... Kyubi began to gaher chakra in his hands. It began to spin in multiple directions. Even as Naruto saw this, his face's expression darkened. Crap... "ODOMA RASENGAN!"

All of a sudden, Naruto disappeared, right next to one of the kunai he had thrown previously, which was behind Kyubi. "Surprise..." he whispered. What the heck! Shoving his hand forward, he cried, "RASENGAN!" Kyubi snarled as he took the blow and flew straight into one of the cliffs in Naruto's setting for the fight.

Naruto landed on the ground, not smiling, and he began to stare into the cloud of smoke that had risen from the impact. That was nice, but I doubt that that would finish Kyubi... He's way to strong for that...this might take a while ... good thing my chakra reserves almost match his ... but my power doesn't ... he smiled ...who knew that my Kekkai Genkai could beat Kyubi? He began to walk twoards the dust cloud. "Kyubi," he quietly stated, "I know your in there. There's no way in hell that that could have finished you."

"Your right," Kyubi chuckled from above. "There's NO way that could have finished me. But I have to give you props kid. That was a slick move." Naruto smiled.

Kyubi chuckled as he continued, "As the Uchiha kid once said a long time ago, 'The time for talk is over.'" Kyubi took his position as he blew away all the dust with his chakra.

Naruto smiled. "Let's do it." He jumped forward, and they began to trade blows again.

They began to punch each other, and Naruto activated his Kekkai Genkai again. He would dissappear, reappear, trade a blow, and appear in a completely new spot. Kyubi had no idea what to do. In this state, all he could do was use his chakra to force Naruto o-. That's it...

He began to gather chakra, while trying to dodge Naruto's blows, and he let out a huge wave of chakra. Naruto, who seemed to expect this, just disappeared again. When the extra chakra disappeared, Naruto had dissappeared. Kyubi began to look around. I didn't let out that much chakra, did I?...hmmm...looks like it was just speed...whatever...

Kyubi shook his whole body, rasing the dirt of his body. He looked around the desert. Time to find that brat, and finish this fight. He barely put up a challenge.

"Sorry, Kyubi," Naruto said, from ontop of the plateau, "But those silly chakra exerts won't effect me in any way." Kyubi stared in shock at Naruto, who seemed to have escaped without a scratch. (He has scratches from previous blows still though.)

"Damn," Naruto said, "You just won't give up. There's no shame in surrendering to the next Hokage."

"Yeah right kid," Kyubi retorted. "How do you expect to beat me? The Fourth couldn't. He just sealed me away."

"Into someone he knew would be the greatest ninja this village had ever seen," Naruto replied without missing a beat. "You seem amazed that I'm winning this fight."

Kyubi snorted. "I have to say that I am. How come you could dodge my attack. That attacked every square inch in a three hundred foot radius. And, NO ONE could move that fast."

"Well," Naruto smiled. "I wasn't moving."

"Shut up, brat," Kyubi yelled. "What are you saying. You just stood there?"

Naruto smiled. This is going to be fun... I can't wait to see what his face'll look like when I say this.. Ha...Ha..."I did,"Naruto said. Technically...

"Stop lying, brat," Kyubi was seriously getting annoyed. "Tell me the truth."

"I'm just using my Kekkai Genkai," Naruto smiled even wider. "When I activate it, I don't even exist. I go into chakra world, time doesn't even matter anymore. It's like a barrier from one dimension to the next. I can disappear from one place and appear someplace a mile away, as long as I have trace of my chakra there to use to get me back in this world." He laughed. "I call it 'flashing.'"

Kyubi snorted. "So that's why you threw all those kunai? Clever brat...even by my standards...using your first attack as part of your finishing blow...that's something I could never have guessed." He paused. "All the same, this fight isn't over."

"I know," Naruto said. "So let's finish this fight." He braced himself with his stance.

Kyubi jumped towards Naruto again, but the battle was coming to an obvious close. Kyubi was extremely tired after that use of chakra, and he wouldn't be able to stay in the fight much longer. I'ts over... Naruto thought... He's too tired...

That's it...time to use another one of my moves... Kyubi jumped back, and raised his fist. "MOUNTAIN CRUSH!" He yelled as he aimed for Naruto. Naruto just dissappeared, but when he reappeared he fell down.

Kyubi hit the ground hard as he missed. "Damn," he cussed. This was bad. He wouldn't be able to hold out much longer. Plus, the chakra aura was beginning to take its toll on Kyubi's "Naruto" body. Damn...I can't hold on much longer. I think I have enough chakra for only an Odama Rasengan... and that's not a lot of chakra... at the same time... the kid might be out of chakra as well... I have to wait for him to come to me... Kyubi waited.

"Damn," Naruto cussed, on top of the plateau. He looked down to find Kyubi waiting for him. Naruto was laying on his back and began to think. The Hiraishin no Jutsu's taking it's toll now. Damn! I've been using this for too long. This isn't supposed to be used so much...Crap... Naruto realized that he only had enough chakra for two Rasengans and one more "Flash."

"KYUBI!" he yelled. It was time to finish the battle. "IT'S TIME!"

"I couldn't agree more," Kyubi said. "NOW LET'S GO!" Naruto jumped off the plateau, and he began to zoom straight at Kyubi. He began to gather chakra into both of his hands. Kyubi began to gather chakra in his hand as well...WAIT...two hands? Kyubi stared as Naruto came closer and closer.

This is it...HIRAISHIN NO JUTSU! Naruto disappeared, and, appearing behind Kyubi, yelled, "ODAMA RASENGAN!" as he joined the two Rasengan into one. Just as Naruto was doing that, Kyubi turned around and thrust his Odama Rasengan into Naruto's. A huge gust of wind broke out, and a sphere of white chakra engulfed them both. (Wow...so many things can happen in Naruto's mind.)


Within the sphere, Naruto and Kyubi floated...Naruto was uncoscious, while Kyubi was awake and staring at Naruto, with his third tail. "That was a nice move there, kid. Your own Odama Rasengan...nice..." Kyubi smiled as he stared at the blonde before him.

"You win, kid," Kyubi whispered, as the sphere began to brighten, and he disappeared. "You win..."


Naruto woke up to find himself lying on a tree while everyone was having dinner. Takeshi was tending to the fire, and Rin was lying in her sleeping bag. She looked pretty tired. She must have fought a hard battle. Kai and Sasuke were apparently gathering firewood. Then it hit him. Shouldn't Sakura be tending Rin's wounds... Where is she anyway?

He got up to look for Sakura...wait..WHERE'S SAKURA! What if I had hurt her...Oh my god! That would be completely my fault... SAKURA! He got up abruptly to find Sakura sleeping on his shoulder...O...looks like I won fo-Kyubi...I won...
