Don't own Naruto.
I really appreciate the comments
To Jarjaxle: Your questions will certainly be answered as the story unravels a bit more. I still need antagonists after all and I have a few specific plans for Naruto's enemies!
Gold Testament: I'll always remember the Sasuke that jumped in front of Haku's senbons for Naruto.
PhoenixADark: I haven't thought about other couples yet, but I think I can accommodate since I am just winging this story as I write it hehe. Also, I agree that Gaara is awesome.
Yay its fight time!
A sadistic smile forms on Naruto's face as the traces of the Kyuubi's chakra begin to circulate within him. Sasuke stoically stays in his stance and watches the jinchuuriki live up to his namesake. 'Tsukuyomi' Sasuke says to himself as he pushes his chakra towards his right eye.
Naruto's eyes flutter and he finds himself nailed to a cross overlooking a seemingly never ending world of similar effigies. Blood is running down his hands where the rusty nails are set, but his eyes never waver from Sasuke's stare. Red eyes slowly approach and notice Naruto still has the same sadistic smile on his face as earlier. "Welcome to my world of illusions." the emotionless raven haired man says.
"Are you expecting this to work on me teme?" Naruto says as he rips both of his arms forward and breaks the cross. Wood splinters hit the ground as Naruto climbs off and his feet hit the ground. The world of crosses fades and the genjutsu dispels.
"I was pretty sure it wouldn't work on you just like it didn't work on Killer Bee. I just wanted to quickly test your abilities." Sasuke says shrugging his shoulders.
"It's my turn to test you then!" yells Naruto as he dashes towards Sasuke. The ground underneath his feet receive long, ugly gashes in his wake. He leaps at Sasuke and a crater forms behind him. "YAHHH" Naruto screams as he swings his right leg at Sasuke's gut only to have him easily sidestep out of the way.
Sasuke points at his eye, "I can read your moves before you do them Naruto... It's pointless to attack me head on." The raven haired man quickly turns as he hears an explosion coming from Naruto's direction. He looks to see a half disintegrated tree tipping towards him and Nauto's leg coming down towards his face with an ax kick. 'All he did was jump off of the tree and half of it turned to dust!' He quickly blocks the kick with both of his forearms and hears a subtle crunch come from them before he grapples Naruto's leg and whips him to the ground. Naruto slams into the earth with a hard thud and an "Umph" gets choked out of him. Sasuke moves away quickly as what was left of the tree after Naruto's chakra powered legs rebounded off of it came crashing down on the blonde haired jinchuuriki.
'That kick nearly broke both of my arms.' Sasuke thinks to himself. 'Better either keep him away or deflect his attacks.' Sasuke switches his stance to a new taijutsu style and waits for the next attack. He watches the tree get effortlessly thrown to one side leaving a smirking blonde standing unscathed.
"That style is a good choice... Hell it might be your only choice hehe." Naruto laughs, but Sasuke remains calm and unamused. "So you're gonna try to us my power against me then huh?"
"Your attacks rely on your natural power and speed." Sasuke says calmly. "This style will let me reduce the damage your attacks inflict almost completely."
Naruto crouches down "We'll see" as the last syllable left his mouth he charged Sasuke again. Naruto forcefully swings at Sasukes face to have it easily pushed away. All of his blows were being smoothly pushed around in a beautiful display of defense by the Uchiha. Overwhelming attacks were reduced to nothing as Sasuke's dance-like style waved them into the ground causing small tremors that shook the surrounding wildlife. Leaves fell gracefully from the violently shaking trees and the animals of the forest scurried away in fear for their lives.
'Retaliate' Sasuke says to himself as he stomps a kick by Naruto into the ground and switches his stance to offense. Sasuke punches Naruto's face into the dirt and kicks him in the stomach to send him flying. Sasuke slowly switches his stances back to the defensive one waiting for Naruto to rise again.
Naruto stands while rubbing his cheek and holding his stomach, "KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" he yells and a clone begins to run into the forest.
"What was the point of that dobe?" asks the confused Sasuke.
Naruto grins, "You'll see" he says getting back into his taijutsu stance. "Dont worry teme. I won't be sending and army of shadow clones to fight you this round." Naruto's grin grows a bit, "It'll be all me for this fight." Naruto rushes Sasuke again with similar results as before. Naruto attacks and Sasuke dodges or pushes the attack away. On and on this continues while the sharingan analyzes the attacks and plans a counter strike. It presents itself in a haymaker Naruto sends at the wrong moment. Sasuke switches his style after deflecting the powerful swing and shoves his elbow into Naruto's throat throwing the blue eyed man across the battlefield and into a tree. As Naruto gasps for air while lifting himself up, he coughs up blood onto the dirt and wipes the blood left on his mouth off onto his arm. The jinchuuriki shakes for a moment and then suddenly calms down.
His breathing becomes more even and he shuts his eyes while taking a deep breath. "It's time" Naruto says. Sasuke sees an enemy with closed eyes, but does not attack in fear that this was all a ruse for him to let his guard down. He settles for slowly approaching his opponent while analyzing him with the sharingan.
'I see a new source of chakra around him. What is that? It's not the Kyuubi's is it?' Sasuke is unsure of how to deal with this new situation. 'Even though we have only been using taijutsu so far I better watch for any ninjustsu after this' Naruto with his eyes still closed jumps at Sasuke again. "You are just wasting your time Naruto. I will deflect every attack you throw." Sasuke says as he moves his face out of the way of Naruto's punch. Just as Sasuke planned to counterattack he feels a bone crunching hit connect to his face. As he soars through the air and then skids across the ground he thinks, 'How? His attack missed me!'
"This is my frog kata." Naruto says with a hand on his hip and a finger in the air, "It relies on chakra that I gather from nature to extend and strengthen my attacks." Naruto finally opens his eyes to reveal two rectangle shaped pupils. "This form allows me to sense chakra as well." Naruto puts his finger to his chin in a thinking pose. "The only problem is I need to be standing still to gather the energy from around me. I can't figure out any other way to do it mid combat without sending out a clone or two to gather it for me."
'So that's why he made that clone earlier!' The pale skinned Uchiha mentally applauds his counterpart for his strategy."That's an interesting trick Naruto." Sasuke says as he rubs his face and uses a large tree root to help himself stand. "It renders my defense useless" Naruto widely grins at the black haired man. Sasuke reaches to his back and slowly brings his chokuto out of its sheath. The three foot sword gleams from the sun that pokes through the trees as Sasuke settles into his stance. "Looks like our taijutsu match is belongs to you." Sasuke says as he moves the blade to his side, "Time for us to move on."
Naruto jumps over to the tree where he threw Suigetsu's oversized blade and removes it. He swings it around a few times to get the feel of it before he settles into his own stance and locks eyes with Sasuke. "Well my swordplay normally is done with a smaller blade, but this will do." Sasuke rushes in and slices down on Naruto. Throwing the massive sword in front of him Naruto blocks Sasuke's attack and propels the raven haired man backwards at the same time. Sasuke lands casually on a tree branch and looks down on Naruto who was preparing to attack. 'Lets see how well he can deal with this' Sasuke says to himself and smirks. The Uchiha jumps at the blonde man once again and slices downward. Naruto again throws the giant sword in front of himself to block and push Sasuke back, but this time he doesn't feel the same push of Sasuke being thrown away. Instead he sees Sasuke's chokuto sliding straight through the six foot decapitating sword before finally plunging into his right shoulder. About four feet of the large blade now lay on the ground leaving Naruto with only a foot of hilt and a foot of blade to protect himself.
"You enhanced your blade with lightening chakra I see." Naruto says while he watches the wound on his arm gush blood over his green chuunin jacket and down his torso. He diverts his eyes off of the wound and back on to the Uchiha, "Good thing I have Kyuubi-chan or that chakra probably would have paralyzed me as soon as your blade hit me." Naruto says with a chuckle. Again he looks at his shoulder wound and watches as the blood stops pouring out. Naruto brings what is left of his blade in front of him and prepares himself for another attack. Sasuke jumps at Naruto again expecting the same result as before. He slashes downward and Naruto moves his weapon for a counter. As the blades connect Sasuke waits for his katana to slide through the broken weapon, but this never happens. Naruto throws Sasuke's chokuto off to the side with a parry and grazes Sasuke's leg with his shortened sword. The cut made by Naruto's sword was so clean that blood didn't spill from Sasuke's wound until after he jumped away and resumed his stance.
Sasuke winces momentarily while clutching his wound, "It appears I'm not the only one who can enhance their weapon with elemental chakra."
"I have an affinity for wind." Naruto says, "It makes my sword extremely sharp and extends its reach." Naruto grins and leaps at Sasuke to resume their fight. The two coat each other in wounds. Small cuts adorn Sasuke's body while larger deeper cuts cover Naruto. Sasuke shows his aptitude for sword fighting. The proof covers Naruto's body. "I never was great at kenjutsu. You're gonna have to teach me more when we get back to Konoha." Naruto says smiling while blood drips off of him. Soon after the blood stops pouring and the wounds heal.
Sasuke smirks, "You won the taijutsu round and I appeared to have won the kenjutsu round." Sasuke's smirk disappears.
Naruto puts his finger to his chin in a thinking pose and says, "So that leaves ninju..."
"KATON: GOKAKYU NO JUTSU!" Sasuke yells as his mouth fills with fire. Naruto immediately jumps out of the way of the huge fireball that barrels towards him and watches it as it plows through the forest leaving smoldering trees in its wake.
Sasukes left eye opens wide, "Amaterasu" Sasuke says to himself. Naruto is sprinting around the forest and jumping from tree to tree as fast as he can while black flames nip at his heels. Sasuke feels his chakra dwindling, but he pursues until he catches Naruto's coat in the flames. Naruto quickly rips off the coat and throws it to the ground before the contagious flames spread across his body.
"FUTON: ATSUGAI!" Naruto yells and a giant ball of wind comes flying towards Sasuke.
'Damn! I cant move in time!' Sasuke yells in his mind 'Looks like I have to use this already. This will surely end the fight.' Both of Sasukes eyes widen and he whisper "Susanoo"
Naruto gazes upon the ball of wind chakra heading for Sasuke and grins. 'I gotcha teme.' Naruto watches the collision and waits for the dust to settle. To his dismay he watches a giant shield form out of the dust. 'What the hell is that?' the shield rises and shows an unharmed Sasuke standing in front of a red ethereal samurai.
"This is Susanoo. His shield is indestructible. Nothing you do can get to me now." Sasuke says with a smirk on his face.
Naruto smiles and a red chakra pours out of him. A red cloak forms around his body and nine tails sprout from his lower back. He laughs a with a deep guttural tone. "You think just because no one ever broke his shield that it's indestructible?" Two large red claws close together in front of Naruto. As they begin to open a black sphere takes shape. Naruto breathes out slowly "Yami Rasengan"
Meanwhile with Clone Naruto, Karin, Jugo, and Suigetsu
Clone Naruto sets down Karin and walks towards Jugo and Suigetsu. "Hey Jugo. How's he doing?"
The muscular man looks at the jinchuuriki clone and says "You broke his sternum... as well as a few ribs when he hit the tree."
"Lets get him back on his feet then." the clone says as he bends down to the unconscious blue haired man.
"OH DAMMIT!" Karin yells.
The clone ignores her and continues with what he's doing. He places his hands over Suigetsu and closes his eyes. The clone begins to glow a faint blue color none of which goes unnoticed by Jugo.
"What are you doing?" the large man asks calmly.
The glowing around the clone stops and he stands up to speak, "I removed the chakra that the boss shoved into him to harden his body. He should be up soon." The blonde man says looking up at the giant. Jugo looks down at Suigetsu and notices his chest begins to cover itself with water and regenerate. "As soon as he gets up I'd like to speak with all of you." The clone sits up against a tree and waits for the blue haired man to recover.
Karin sits up and looks at the blonde man leaning up against the tree. 'I wonder what he wants from us. He hasn't tried to hurt us or use us as leverage against Sasuke-kun so I don't know what he wants.' She stares at him for at least an hour. She sighs and removes her black Akatsuki coat to reveal a lavender uniform slightly covering short tight black shorts that lead to thigh high stockings. She adjusts her stockings and looks at Naruto again. 'He's so different from Sasuke-kun. He's open and kind. Even their chakras are opposite. Sasuke-kun's is cool and collected while his is warm and calming.' She leans back again and looks to the sky before she hears a rustling sound coming from the direction of her new crush. She looks at Naruto to see him staring at her wide eyed.
"Karin!" the clones shouts in a concerned tone.
'Why is he looking at me like that?' Karin stops cold as she figures out why. She grasps her throat and keels over screaming in pain. "AHHHHH THE CHAKRAS BACK!" She feels the Kyuubi's chakra grip her throat tighter and she cries aloud again. Just as she was about to pass out from pain she feels a warmth at her back. The chakra gripping her throat lets go and is replaced with a warm beautiful chakra that drapes itself over her like a warm blanket. She smiles and leans back into a firm chest. 'What?'
"I'm sorry about that Karin." the clone says gently as he gives her a soft smile. He is holding her from behind with his arms around her and his legs at her sides. "The boss must be getting serious with Sasuke-teme."
Karin becomes worried again, 'He's going to hurt Sasuke-kun!'
The clone notices this and says, "Not to worry. I've got a link with the boss so I know what's going on over there and I'm sure this will all be ok." The clone thinks to himself. 'I hope'
Karin settles down and cuddles further in his chest. 'He's so kind! He even wrapped me up to protect me from the Kyuubi's chakra.' She feels his muscles twinge as she pushes deeper into his chest. 'He reacts to me! Sasuke-kun never cares when I touch him. He just ignores me.' She takes a deep breath and freezes once more 'Oh shit.' Her body tingles and she feels like her nerves are ready to burst. 'It's that scent again. I can't stop myself!' She takes his arms and pulls them tighter around herself. She inches herself backwards in his hold until his groin was matched up with her buttocks. Slowly she tilts her head back into his neck and lets her red hair fall down his muscular shoulders. Taking off her glasses she turns her head and stares into his blue eyes. As red eyes meet blue she clamps down on the powerful legs surrounding her and begins to draw circle on his groin with her ass.
The clone moans, "Karin what are you doing?" He tries to stop her but is failing to keep his composure.
She purrs to him, "Mmmmmm Naruto-kun." She turns around and pushes him onto his back. Before he can protest she straddles him and lays across him. She slowly smells him until she stops at his neck. Eyeing up the muscular, tanned junction she leans in and licks it. "Ohhh you taste even better than you smell Naruto-kun." she says before she continues to lean forward and taste the jinchuuriki's skin.
"Karin stop this now." The clone says as he groans a bit.
Karin licks again and feels a twitch against her butt. "It feels like you don't want me to stop Naruto-kun." she says as she grinds on him to relieve the pressure she feels forming between her legs.
"I won't ask again Karin." the clone says in a serious tone.
She ignores him and grinds harder. 'I can feel myself getting closer! How has this happened so fast? I've only ground on him for less than a minute and I'm about to explode!' She arches her back and moans, "NARUTO-KUUUN!" Her orgasm causes her juices to soak through her black shorts and onto Naruto's black pants as her pleasure only increases in intensity instead of dying down. 'This is unreal!' She violently grinds on Naruto to appease her desire.
"Did you just?" The clone says with the assumption so obvious there is no need to finish the sentence. Sighing the clone applies chakra to her neck and watches her unconscious body fall back with a thump. "Damn you Kyuubi-chan!" Naruto screams. Naruto sighs once more and stands. Looking down at his pants he groans as he sees the stains Karin made are beginning to dry. "The boss isn't gonna be happy when he sees this." The clone looks over and sees a wide eyed Jugo and Suigetsu staring at him.
"What the fuck!" Suigetsu yells. "We were right here man! Go get a fuckin room or somethin!"
Jugo calmly says, "That was highly abnormal even for her. Would you care to explain?" Jugo looks down at the unconscious Karin and cocks an eyebrow.
"I guess I have to now... and I was really trying to avoid this. I didn't have a choice, but to get near her when she started writhing in pain. It was an order from the boss to help you all in any way so you know that you can trust us."
"Shut up and explain already!" Suigetsu yells.
"Ok here goes." the clone thinks for a second. "Basically, I have merged with the Kyuubi no Kitsune's chakra entirely and that has caused permanent physical changes, which are transferred even through clones that are made without the Kyuubi's chakra." The clone paces a bit and continues. "There are some less obvious changes and some that are blatant." He stops moving and looks at the two dumbstruck men. "What you guys just saw was a built in system to attract a mate."
The men stared at the lady-killer for a few moments before Suigetsu laughs and says, "Seducing our teammate is not a good way to get us to trust you ya know?"
Naruto puts a hand to his head. "I can't control it. Once a woman gets close enough to smell me there is almost no way for her to resist the urge to mate with me unless I leave." the clone pleads to a laughing Suigetsu.
"Oh I feel soooooo bad for you." the blue haired man says sarcastically.
"It's irrelevant now." Jugo says "I believe before you said you wanted to speak with us about something?"
"Oh yes!" the clone perks up and says. "I wanted to talk to all three of you, but there's no way in hell I waking her up yet." the blonde man states.
"Get on with it already ya jackass" Suigetsu says as he looks away uncaringly.
The clone faces the two and stands firm. He looks at them with a serious expression before smiling widely. "I want you to offer you Konoha citizenship."
