Second Coming of the Yellow Flash

"Naruto, slow down," Shikamaru said.

Naruto swooped through the trees toward the boarder of the Land of Fire. The rest of the team trailed behind their reckless leader. It had been their second day out after they had all met up at the front gate of the village and came up with a plan to get to and complete the mission by Shikamaru's strategy. He had also created a formation for them to use while traveling, but Naruto was making it close to impossible to stick to it with him, staying so far ahead of everyone else.

Naruto looked back at the others. "We don't have time to waste. We have to make it to the land of Earth in seven days."

"You idiot, that doesn't mean we can be reckless," Shikamaru said.

Above them a few feet further in the forest, a shinobi hid. He drew his blade from his back. He waited and finally when Naruto was in range he leaped down. He raised his sword above his head, coming down.

Karin pointed ahead. "Naruto, watch out!"

Naruto faced forward just as the sword came down on his head. The blade cut straight through the branch of the tree. "Got ya," the mysterious sword shinobi spoke. The rest of the group stopped where they were.

"I wouldn't bet on it," Naruto said. The sword shinobi looked over to his right to see Naruto, standing safely against a tree with his hand on the bark. Just above his hand was a custom kunai with three blades, impaled in the tree.

Naruto grabbed a hold of the handle of the blade and tossed it as he charged forward. In his other hand he spun charka into a rotating sphere. He stretched out his hand.

The mystery shinobi ran toward him with his sword drawn back. "Damn you." He lowered himself under the kunai as he swung his blade forward at Naruto. Naruto was an inch away from the blade connecting when he disappeared. "What?"

A light shined above him. The man shifted his eyes up to see Naruto had appeared above him. "Rasengan!" He slammed the spinning charka ball right into the ninja's back. The man lost his footing. He spun around into a vortex and flew straight down into the ground, creating a crater. "That takes care of him."

Suddenly two more shinobi appeared on either side of Naruto with two large blades in their hands. They both swung at Naruto with immense force. Naruto slipped another Kunai out of his pouch and tossed it back just as the blades came in for the kill.

Crash! The two blades slammed into each other. The two shinobi flipped to spot Naruto, standing on the bark of the tree above the kunai he threw. The two ninjas bounced back into the air, stabbing straight into Naruto before he could react.

Naruto coughed up blood. He was impaled into the tree by his shoulders. "Got him," the ninja on the left said.

Naruto struggled to lift his head and smiled with one eye close. His bag unzipped with a scroll unwrapping above him that revealed a summoning seal formula. The real Naruto appeared out of the poof of smoke, spin kicking the two Ninjas down to the ground.

The blond hair ninja bit his thumb to draw blood. He rolled across the scroll as his clone disappeared. Naruto weaved several hand signs. He clapped his hands together. "Shadow Shuriken Jutsu!" Several shuriken flew out of the scroll to pin down the fallen enemies.

Another shinobi appeared a few feet away in front of Naruto. His hands were behind his back, focusing on the leader of Konoha's group. "Just as I expected from the fourth Hokage's son," the ninja said. He narrowed his eyes. "You truly are the Second Coming of the Yellow Flash, but I shall defeat you."

"Now I get it," Naruto said. He pointed to the mask shinobi leader. "You're those losers my father beat twelve years ago. Well it doesn't matter because I plan on surpassing my old man." He reached back into his pouches. "And I'll start by finishing where he left off by defeating all of you."

Naruto tossed several of his custom made kunai that he learned to make from his father all over the area around his opponent. Naruto vanished. He teleported from kunai to kunai; up, down, left, right, front, back, at several different angles around the enemy.

The mask ninja placed his hand on the hilt of his blade attached to the back of his hip. He bent his knees as he watched the boy move like lightning around him. Naruto appeared directly in front of him a few feet away. His right hand filled with spinning charka.

Naruto let out a loud battle cry. "Rasengan!" He swung his hand forward to strike the enemy when he saw the man's dark eyes. Just as he was an inch away from the man he teleported back into a tree, sliding up it.

He ended his jutsu, using both his hands to slam down on the tree to stop his ascent. He bit down on his teeth as he glared down at the ninja. The ninja gazed up at him. "So you're not just skilled, but smart enough to retreat as well." The ninja's blade was already out and extended.

Blood rolled out of the cut on Naruto's neck. Naruto placed his hand over the nick. "I can't believe he saw me coming."

"You still can't use the technique as well as your father though," the masked ninja said.

Naruto stared at him for a moment. He lowered his head, hiding his eyes in the shadows of his hair. "Yeah, you're right. I don't know my father's jutsu as well as he does." He lifted his head with his eyes full of determination. "But those aren't the only jutsu I know."

Naruto formed a hand sign along with several others, ending with the dog. He pulled out his shuriken from his pouch in between his fingers. He threw them forward. "Wind Style: Whirlwind Shuriken Dance!" Blades of wind swirled around the flying shuriken which expanded their range by two feet each.

"Impressive." The ninja quickly launched himself in the air. He quickly moved to avoid the weapons along with striking shuriken he could hit on their fronts or backs. He flipped downward as the slashing blades that chopped through the trees passed him.

He landed on one knee, looking up. "But you'll have to do better in order to defeat me." His eyes went wide eye. "What?" Naruto was gone. A light shined behind him, getting his attention. He looked backward.

Naruto appeared out of the last shuriken that flew passed him, extending out his Rasengan. He let out a might yell. He slammed the jutsu right into the man's shoulder, sending him spinning into the ground with the rest of his men.

Naruto landed on the branch, looking down. "And that puts an end to that." He instantly teleported over to Sasuke's side, using the teleportation formula he had placed on his arm.

Sasuke shifted his eyes over to Naruto. "I hope taking out these losers was worth the time we wasted?"

Naruto looked over at the Uchiha. "It didn't take that long and I had to make sure they weren't going to follow us all the way to the Land of Earth didn't I?"

"Hmm, still having me make the first move for you." Sasuke held up one of Naruto's custom kunai. "You ended up using most of your weapons before we even made it pass the boarder."

Naruto slipped out a scroll from his bag. "That's why I brought backup." He unrolled the scroll on the tree branch. He made a few hands signs to release the seals that held several kunai and shuriken. He repacked them in his pouches before he stood back up again. "Now we can get to back to Shikamaru's plan."

Shikamaru rubbed the back up his head. "Good, because I really don't like reckless movements," he said. Naruto nodded and with that the group continued on for the boarder.
