Finally... Tsunade and Naruto will fight again! this is big...this is very big... HUGE! lol... Yeah.. so this chapter is the last chapter before the Jounin Exams, themselves, start... so I'm hoping to make this chapter relatively long... yeah...and thanks for the reviews...they're awesome...thanks...yeah...so LET's GO!
p.s.- from now on, when Naruto "disappears' he didn't flash...he did something else like speed...Flash means he flashed but most enemies will think he "disappeared"; I know...it's kind of confusing...I still am...:D :)
;blah; - audience
Naruto vs. Tsunade
"Are you ready, kid," Tsunade said. (I need to provoke him to get him motivated to fight... I just hope that's isn't a bad thing for me...)
"As ready as I'll ever be, oba-chan," Naruto replied. The crowd fell over...Same old disrespectful Naruto... (It' won't hurt them that much)
Tsunade faked a frown. "BRAT! LET'S GO!"
Naruto threw his kunai at Tsunade...
(He threw it this time...) she smiled. (Well... at least he remembers what happened last time..) Tsunade grinned. Because of all her experience...she saw the kunai at the speed a regular person would see a baseball is pitched. And that's still pretty fast, but a lot slower...She extended her fist and caught the kunai jsut as fast, which was faster then the audience could see.
;WOW; They couldnt' believe what they couldn't see. A kunai thrown so fast they couldn't see was caught at a speed faster then that. Some of the younger audience members were already confused thinking about it.
Even as she caught the kunai, Naruto was on the move. Running towards her, he began to talk to Kyubi : When I say 'ay" I need your chakra instantly... the smallest amount of time is enough to lose against her... she's just gauging me right now... well... time to gauge her...
Fine kid...but remember...ONLY four tails...win...and I might consider the fifth... but after that...your not getting any for a LONG time... whatever fo-...I mean Kyubi... Kyubi snickered...Whatever kid...
Slowly extending his hand so everyone could see them, he jumped yelling, "RASEN-" The crowd stood up in awe; they were about to see the Yondaime's signature move, and now... his legacy's...
Tsunade was stuck. She could move, and be subject to the kunai which could finish the match if he touched her neck, stay where she was, brace herself properly, and receive some damage. She chose to stay...she wanted to drag this fight on as long as she could.
Naruto smiled and whispered, "Gotcha." He disappeared. (SNAP!) Tsunade turned around to find a Naruto zooming towards him chakra gathered in his fist. "Pow," he whispered, and 'pow' she took the blow to the side of her face.
Everyone was amazed. The dropout landed a blow on the Godaime Hokage, and it had done quite some damage.
Tsunade went flying through the air, and she landed in the dirt pretty hard. Ouch...that's gotta hurt...well...looks like she can't keep up with this...this means I might have a jutsu that can help me beat ANY nija...SWEET!
Naruto began to walk up to Tsunade. "You know oba - chan, I landed the first blow this time."
Tsunade stood up. Even Shizune, not to mention Kakashi, was amazed. Tsunade just got brutaly punched in the face by the kid who was beat by the flick of a finger three years ago. This was hard to believe.
"I know it is," Kakashi said to Shizune. "He's iimproved so much, it seems we're all slowing down so much, we're going backwards..."
Shizune smiled. "Well, that's Naruto for you. It's no wonder he's become so strong. He always want to train. One time I had to drag him back to the hospital because he wanted to train to keep his promise to Sakura."
Kakashi just smiled.
(Damn that technique...how is anyone supposed to counter that?.?.?)Tsunade smiled.(Got it.) "You've come a long way, haven't you, Naruto?" She grew serious in terms of the fight, but she still smiled. "Now I know not to underestimate you. So be prepared."
"As always," Naruto retorted. "Hurry up, and fight me. I want to get this over with before dinner." Naruto shifted into a stance Tsunade had never seen before.
(HUH! What is that stance? Naruto couldn't have developed his own taijutsu style in three years...) She realized that she knew nothing about what Naruto could do besides Rasengan and the Hiraishin no Jutsu. (Could he?)
Naruto formed a seal and began to gather chakra throughout his body. "Aye..." he whispered.Give it to me after the attack ... kay kid...
The shadow and Zatek were watching the battle from far away. As far away as it was, they could still see the battle clearly with Zatek's Magnifying Jutsu.
"So useless," the shadow chuckled. "But it does have some TRIVIAL purposes."
"Yes, master," Zatek bowed. He continued to watch the battle. Naruto had just landed a blow on a surprised Tsunade, which surprised him. "Master?" The shadow turned. "How was he able to do that? Shouldn't he be weaker then the Hokage?"
The shadow chuckled. "I'm probably on par with the Godaime Hokage. This boy could possibly be as strong if he did some serious training. The woman is just gauging his strength right now." He faced his apprentice. "You are should be at par with the boy." The shadow thought, 'Idiot, doesn't know that Naruto is the vessel of the Kyubi. Good thing I blocked that chakra from being visible to him.' He continued watching the battle. 'I shall know how strong Kyubi truly is by the end of the exams.'
Zatek faced the shadow. "Master Ka-" Before he could finish, the shadow slapped his apprentice.
"DO NOT SPEAK MY NAME, WHILE I'M HERE!" The cloak fell off, and Kabuto, once servant to the Snake Master, and evil Sennin, Orochimaru, stood before Zatek. Quietly pulling his hood back on, Kabuto glared at the apprentice. "One more slip, and I will kill you."
Zatek cowered in fear before his master. He thought, 'Better not get on his bad side again." The two dark ninja silently watched the rest of the match.
Naruto charged at Tsunade, and they engaged in a Taijutsu showdown. Naruto's fist were going all over the place, and Tsunade couldn't keep up with him. Naruto was landing more blows. Tsunade was confused. (How can he land so many blows that are that powerful? His blows are around as strong as Sakura's concentrated ones are...)
"That's just the beginning," Naruto said, and he flashed. Tsunade looked around. (Where did that brat go?)
"OVER HERE!" Naruto yelled, and from the side, he nailed Tsunade with such power she landed in the audience. "How's that for monstrous strenghth, Granny." The crowd was amazed. (Ok ... from now on ... their amazed ... no need to repeat.)
Tsunade slowly got up, and walked back up to Naruto. "That was a nice move there, Naruto. Is that's Kyubi's style?"
Naruto grinned. "So... You figured it out. Kyubi's been training me in taijutsu even since I lost to Sasuke. And I think you've noticed, that my punches do a lot more damage then they should."
(Nice job, kid. More and more powerful each day...) She smiled to herself.
"Enough talk," Naruto smiled. "Let's finish this."
Kyubi's chakra soaring through his body, in super saiyan style, Naruto formed a hand seal. "I think you'll remember this technique, Tsunade. SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Instantly, in a puff of smoke, a thousand copies of Naruto stood within the area of 500 square feet, completely surrounding Tsunade.
Shizune gasped. "There's no way ANYONE could create that many clones. There must be over five hundred."
Kakashi smiled. "Way more. At least 1000 clones. And I think this is the least amount of clones he's produced in the last three times he's done one of these."
Shizune's mouth just dropped, and Sakura smiled. Way to go, Naruto. I'm loving this...the crowd is just in awe in how strong you really are...
"Come on, oba - chan," the Naruto stuck out their toungues. "We'll finish this right now." They all charged at Tsunade. Tsunade just smiled, and began to gather chakra. Her body began to glow so much that the even the audience could see it.
"What's she doing ," they all thought, including Naruto. But Naruto being Naruto, just kept on charging with his mass army of clones. Tsunade just grinned and all the chakra gathered into arms, creating an odd red glow.
Huh? was all Naruto could think as he was feet away from Tsunade. "Let me show you a Move I developed." He waved his hand and two groups of clones split off in different directions. Five clones quietly slipped away from the group into the forest.
Tsunade replied, "Not so fast, Naruto. Your move won't be shown today?" She took both of her hands back and punched the head Naruto. The clone 'poof'ed. Tsunade grinned. "BOOM!"
An explosion from the fist emanated outwards and went through all the clones. Tsunade grinned. "Checkmate, Naruto, seeing that you're lying down on the ground, and not getting up." Naruto just grinned.
"Wrong" he said, as he jumped up from the ground. "CHECKMATE!" Tsunade gasped. (What is he talking about?) He flashed again to the tree, but Tsunade couldn't see him. I'll let the clones do the rest for a while... Naruto fell down onto the branch...DAMN...I've only used two flashes and I'm already like this...at this rate...I'll only be able to use around 7 more with Kyubi's chakra and one more with my own...Kyubi...now would be a good time...Here you go kid...
Kyubi's chakra soared through Naruto's body. He sprouted his first two tails. Back at the battle, the clones received the burst of energy from Kyubi and they launched their attack on Tsunade.
The audience just watched. The great Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was serving this ninja. Here was a force to be respected. They silently bowed their heads in reverence and respect. But soon enough, they turned them up to continue watching the battle. (Sakura's in the crowd if you guys didn't know. Sorry I didn't mention that...)
Ino's mouth just dropped, and Sakura had to put her hands to her mouth to stop herself from bursting out laughing. The whole crowd was kind of ... 'BOWING' to Naruto. All the same, it was a great feeling for Sakura to know that her boyfriend would be respected from now on in the village. Does Tsunade know that those are just clones...
(How is he doing that...) Tsunade was using up a lot of chakra. (I didn't know he could extend Kyubi's chakra to his clones. Number 1 ninja at surprising people all right...) She took several punches at the clones to find that she was only fighting three clones. Where did the other two clones go? The three clones poofed by themselves. She looked around. (This is bad...)
"AAAARGH!" The two missing clones yelled as they launched themselves at Tsunade with Rasengans, forming in their hands. "ODAMA RASENGAN!"
"WHAT"S HE THINKING?" Shizune yelled. "THAT COULD K-" Her voice was muffled. Kakashi told her to shut up and watch.
The real Naruto flashed again back behind Tsunade while she was focusing her attention on the clones. Tsunade braced herself for the blows, but nothing happened. She looked up to find the clones smiling.
"Checkmate," they said, before poofing. A kunai was at her throat. "I win" the real Naruto said. Tsunade smiled.
"Nice job, Naruto, but sorry," Tsunade poofed.
"WHAT!" Naruto put on his classical white eyes and mouth surprise face. "A SHADOW CLONE!" He turned around to see the real one rushing at him. "Ow..." he whispered before he got hit.
"POW!"
Naruto went flying into the tree where he was before. How did she get us? I don't know kid ... Well...can you spare a third tail ... Kid...this is all I can spare after that blow ... that was painful ... You don't need to tell me about that ... Ha...ha...ha...
Naruto formed a seal. "This is it, Tsunade. If I can't finish it here..." I'll be out of chakra...He rushed at Tsunade. Time seemed to slow donw for both of them. Their heart beats, in sync, could be heard between them ...
da-da ... da-da ... da-da ...
Naruto took his steps toward Tsunade, and Tsunade took her stance to land one more blow on Naruto. Naruto began to gather all of Kyubi's chakra into his fist.
da-da ... da-da ... da-da ...
"TSUNADE!" Naruto yelled. Tsunade just whispered, "Naruto..." They were feet away from each other now.
da-da ... da-da ...
Feet ... inches ... They took back their fists...
da-da ...
Both punches made contact with their targets. Naruto's fist hit Tsunade's face, and Tsunade's landed on his face. They both went flying in opposite directions. Naruto crashed through several trees, and the crowd began to run as Tsunade crashed right through the rows of chairs and into the dirt.
Naruto was out for the count. Tsunade quietly stood up. (Damn...that hurt...) She spat out some blood and wiped her face. She hadn't had a fight like that since Orochimaru... She walked over to him...
"Nice job, kid." Naruto opened his eyes.
"You win," Naruto said. He tried to get up, but he fell down. "I'm tired."
Sakura ran over to him. "That was awesome, Naruto. Tsunade... JUST... beat you..."
Tsunade smiled. "Yeah... she's telling the truth..."
Naruto frowned, "Now what am I supposed to do? I can't even move."
Sakura whispered to Tsunade, "Watch this." Tsunade grinned. Turning back to Naruto, Sakura said, "Darn! I was going to take you out for ramen..." She winked.
The audience laughed for a long, long time, after they heard the yell coming from a certain blonde kid, a hundred feet away.
"RAAAAMMMMEEEEENNNN!"
