Underneath – Naruto's Lesson – Chapter 2
Disclaimer – I don't own anything about Naruto, He and all his friends and enemies belong to people with money. Money I don't have. Suing me no money.
My First Story, but go ahead and flame me if you want. I'll just ignore you; on the other hand, constructive criticism is welcome.
The day before the battle for the bridge…
Naruto sat, breathing heavily, on the ground. "It's finally done. My new jutsu is perfect!" The remains of a tree stood before him, thoroughly mangled. "Sasuke's gonna be so jealous. Alright! Let's get back to the house!"
The next morning…
Naruto awoke to the sound of a scream.
"Kaa-san!"
"Inari! Don't come any closer! Run away!"
Naruto quickly regained awareness, realizing someone was in danger. He got up and quietly snuck down the stairs. He listened to the conversation.
"We only need one hostage." A voice said.
Another voice laughed, "Then, can I kill him?"
Nauto took this chance, now that they were distracted with Inari to jump out in front of Tsunami. "Stop! Super Ninja Extraordinaire, Naruto, has arrived!"
Tsunami looked downright terrified, Inari was hiding behind the shoji, and the samurai were both looking at him like he was retarded.
The one with the beard suddenly started laughing, "Aren't you supposed to sneak up and attack with surprise, ninja boy?"
"Shut up! Uzumaki Naruto fights his enemies face to face! Prepare yourself!" With that, Naruto steps into a unusual stance, both arms pointed down and extended adjacent to his body, both legs bent and leaning forward. It almost looked as if he were fighting some powerful force.
Both samurai draw their swords, "Good, I've been itching to cut something."
Naruto grinned "Any last words, Shit-heads? Too bad, I don't care."
"I'll kill you for that, gaki!" Both samurai charge, swords overhead, ready to bring them down on Naruto.
Naruto smirked.
At the bridge…
Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke all stood in formation around Tazuna.
"Sorry for the wait, Kakashi" Zabuza's voice echoes across the bridge, but he was nowhere in sight, mist clouding their view. Sasuke's hand starts to shake again.
Poor kid, he's shaking again." Water clones start popping up around the group, in a circle.
Sasuke smirks, "This time, I'm shaking with excitement!" He quickly dispatches of the clones.
Suddenly Zabuza steps into view, along with the unnamed hunter-nin. He smirks, "Well Haku, looks like a rival."
"Indeed, Zabuza-san." Haku concedes, "An impressive young man, even though the clones only have one-tenth the strength of the original."
"But we have the first strike, Go!"
The hunter-nin charges, blurring in his speed. Sasuke steps up, standing in a defensive stance. His arm blurs, moving to intercept the senbon Haku used, they clash, pressing each other's defenses.
"Oh? He can keep up with that speed?" Zabuza says.
"Sakura, guard Tazuna, don't leave his side!" Kakashi says, sounding like the team captain he once was when an Anbu.
Sasuke and Haku jump apart, charging forward again, the two's weapons connect. Using the momentum, they both spin, gaining speed to clash again.
"I don't want to have to kill you," Haku says, "But you won't stand down will you?"
"Hn, don't be foolish." Sasuke replies arrogantly.
"I see. However, you won't be able to keep up with my speed next time." Haku says, almost monotone in speech. "Plus, I've already gained two advantages" Their arms shake, still pressed by one another. The first is the water on the ground, the second is that you cannot use one arm… You will now only be able to run from my attacks."
Haku then brings a hand up to his face forming a half-ram seal, quickly moving through the seals. Sasuke and Kakaski are both shocked, and that gives Haku time to finish and shout out.
"Hijutsu: Sensatsu Suishou!"
Haku stomps, sending water into the air, which forms needles. The needles quickly descend on Sasuke, forcing him to jump up out of the way. He pulls out a few shuriken and hurls them at Haku, who hops back out of range. Suddenly Sasuke is there standing behind Haku.
"You're pretty slow, you know." He smirks, "from now on you can only run from my techniques."
Haku spins quickly deflecting Sasuke's kunai, spinning again, they match blades. Sasuke uses his other hand slightly hidden from Haku, to throw a kunai, which forces Haku to duck. Sasuke quickly kicks Haku in the face, sending him sprawling backwards.
'Haku, beaten in speed!?' Zabuza stood, eyes wide.
"Hn, looks like I'm faster." Sasuke says, still in battle stance, kunai ready.
"Haku, do you realize? At this rate, we'll be driven back."
"Yes," Suddenly Haku is glowing, charka forming all over his body, he hunches over. "Sorry."
"What this chill?" Sasuke's eyes narrow. Haku forms a seal, and the water on the ground start moving building upwards upon itself in several places on the bridge, the freezing in tall, smooth sheets.
"Hijutsu: Makyou Hyoushou."
Sasuke looks around, surrounded by icy mirrors. Haku steps forward and seems to melt into the mirror, Sasuke stares, eyes wide, as this happens. His image is soon reflected on each mirror.
"What…is that jutsu?" Kakashi looks at the mirrors, having never seen anything like the before. "Damn it!" Kakashi runs forward, only to be stopped by Zabuza.
"You're opponent, is me." He smirks under his bandages. "Against that jutsu, he's finished."
Haku stares dispassionately from behind his mask, "Well, shall I begin?" He asks, "I'll show you my real speed." Senbon are soon flying about so fast Sasuke cannot even move before being hit.
"Sasuke!" Kakashi shouts, atching as cut begin to form all over Sasuke, as he is soon reduced to huddling on the ground. Sakura and Tazuna stare, horrified at the sight.
Kakashi starts to move to Sasuke's aid, but Zabuza steps back and growls out,"If you try to help him, I'll kill those two." He points to Sakura and Tazuna.
Sakura turns to Tazuna, "I'm sorry, but, I'm going to leave you for a moment."
Tazuna looks back at her, "Yeah, Go!"
Sakura bursts forward in a sprint, jumps up, and hurls a kunai to Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun! Take this!"
It is snatched out of the air by Haku, who turns to Sasuke, crumpled upon the ground.
"He caught it!?" Sakura gasps out.
Haku grips the kunai, ready to begin assaulting Sasuke again when suddenly a great blast of wind shatters several mirrors and blasts Haku over the edge of the bridge and out of sight.
"What in Hell!?" Zabuza yells, staring at the carnage wreaked in less than a second. Half the ice mirrors lay in shards, Haku was missing, and Sasuke was laying their weakened extensively.
"Who was that!?" Sakura shrieks, she runs forward to Sasuke, loking at his injuries.
'Was that… no… he's still resting from charka exhaustion. Besides, he only knows Kage bushin.' Kakashi was thinking, now stepping between Tazuna and Zabuza. "Sakura, get back here with Sasuke!"
"Hai, Sensei!" She stands up, Sasuke on her back. And starts running back to Tazuna. Zabuza moves to intercept, but Kakashi moves up to him, kunai at the ready.
"Ah, ah, ah, Zabuza, like you said, your opponent, is me."
Below the bridge…
Haku lay on the surface of the water, he lifts himself up with his arms. Kneeling, he clutches at his head. "What was that attack?"
"Eh heh heh heh,… that was my new technique, like it?" Haku turns to the voice, coming face to face with Naruto.
