Hey everyone back with another chapter. Seems like everyone is enjoying the story so far and the upbringing of the Original Super Saiyan God, young Naruto. I'm thinking of starting to mark these out into Sagas. Just an idea.
Anyway onto the story. I own nothing Naruto or DragonBall/Z related. I'm just an author from .
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto and Leveski stared down the other. Both had tested the water against one another, getting a proper feel of what the other could do when it came to hand to hand combat. Naruto had yet to unleash any Ki attacks and it seemed Leveski hadn't used any Jutsu yet.
"Sensei drop the weights!" Naruto shouted towards Tsukuno. Tsukuno noded, it seemed the situation was beginning to get serious and he didn't need those weights holding Naruto back. After holding a seal, Tsukuno decreased the weights. Naruto took off the weights and threw them towards Tsukuno. The Saiyan child rubbed his wrists, feeling a lot lighter now and he began to stretch.
"I must admit brat" Leveski said. "I've never fought a child that's as strong as you, most kids your age don't take their training as serious"
"I'm not like any other child you've met before" Naruto finished his stretching. He retook his fighting stance. "You ready to continue?"
"Whenever you are"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Naruto went on the attack. Leveski's senses went on high alert when Naruto vanished. He crossed his arms as fast as he could, Naruto's foot slamming into his arms. Leveski dug his feet into the ground as he skidded back. Leveski pushed himself forward, meeting Naruto in his oncoming charge. Leveski tried to attack Naruto but the Saiyan child was much faster than him now. He easily avoided the attack, leaping up and twisting in the air, Naruto backhanded Leveski. Leveski caught himself before he could crash into a tree. Leveski leaned his head to the side as Naruto's fist suddenly appeared at the spot his head once occupied. Leveski could hear the bark on the tree crack and splinter.
"Good thing I avoided that" Leveski thought as he gathered a bit of Chakra in his fists, throwing his fist up, he connected with an uppercut. Naruto grunted as he went air born, rubbing the slight stinging sensation from his jaw. Naruto stopped his flight and looked down to see Leveski going through hand seals.
"Futon: Daitoppa" Leveski fired off his air bullet towards Naruto. Naruto was unable to see the Jutsu, so it came to a big surprise when an invisible air bullet slammed into Naruto.
"Ouch!" Naruto released a pulse of Ki to stop his out of control flight. "What the hell was that?" He muttered, he had sensed something coming towards him but he couldn't track it with his eyes. Naruto watched as Leveski reached behind him and threw a volley of Shuriken at him. Naruto flew at the oncoming shower of metal and was able to evade them.
Ki flared to life in Naruto's hands.
"Take this!" Naruto fired twin Ki blasts from his hands. Leveski's eyes widened, he never seen anything like that before! He leaped to the side as the spot he had been standing exploded in a shower of earth and rubble. Leveski looked up only to be greeted by a vicious right hook. Naruto continued with a left, a right, another left and was finally hit with a kick. Naruto shot another Ki blast which this time connected with Leveski. He pushed more Ki into the attack and the blast carried Leveski.
Leveski yelped as the strange technique was burning into his chest. Leveski also not only slammed into a tree but he went through it as well, causing the massive nature giant to come crashing down. Naruto watched and waited for his opponent to reemerge.
"Impressive" Tsukuno commented from his side of the battlefield. "Naruto has improved and he's a lot faster than he was before. Yet he's not using all of his new speed. Why is that?"
Leveski emerged from the woods, cuts littering his face and he was glaring at Naruto. "I can tell even now you're not using your full power brat. You took off those weights yet you move at the same speed as earlier and those punches haven't changed much"
"My body isn't used to the new speed I've attained from my training. But if you want me to unleash it" Naruto tensed the muscles in his legs. "Prepare to be sorry that you asked"
Leveski was about to retort with a clever comment but was cut off by Naruto moving faster than he could track. Leveski tasted Naruto's elbow as it smashed into his mouth, spinning around Naruto's heel found it's place at the side of Leveski's head. Leveski fell to the ground, groaning a bit. Naruto leaped up in the air, fist raised high and he was bringing it down to cave in Leveski's skull.
He never noticed Leveski make a hand sign.
Naruto's fist caved in something but it wasn't Leveski's head. He noticed it was a log that was now smashed to bits.
"Kawarimi jutsu, can't forget the basics" Leveski commented, stepping out from behind one of the tree's surrounding them. He formed another hand seal and Chakra began to seep out of his body and cover his form. "I haven't pushed myself all the way yet, I haven't transformed"
"Transformed?" Naruto muttered wondering what Leveski was talking about.
"You'll see" Naruto noticed something when those words left Leveski's lips, his voice seemed to be rougher and even have a growl to it. Naruto watched as Leveski's eyes bled to a sharp crystal blue color and hair sprouted rapidly upon his face. Leveski began to growl and it revealed his longer and sharper canines that gleamed menacingly. Naruto's eyes narrowed, Leveski looked more animalistic than human now.
"So that's it huh?" Tsukuno muttered, seeing the transformation from Leveski. Tsukuno had heard about clans that were so attuned with a certain animal, they could actually transform and take on the appearance of said animal.
"What the hell are you?" Naruto asked.
"I'm a part of the Lycan clan, a clan of humans that long ago were cursed by the gods themselves" Leveski grinned. "The Lycan clan was cursed to take on the appearance of a wolf or Werewolves as we've taken to call ourselves. Originally this was intended to have us all hunted down and killed by other clans. But when Chakra was given to us, it made us stronger" He flexed his claws to show emphasis.
"By the look of his eyes, it seems he's only a Beta wolf. Still I can feel his power has increased. Hopefully Naruto's training will pay off" Tsukuno said, wondering if he should interfere in the fight or not. He knew though that Naruto would be completely pissed at him should he attempt to take this fight away from him. Damn Saiyan child and his pride!
"His claws are sharp and the senses of a wolf are even greater than that of a human's" Naruto thought, he reached behind him and pulled out his staff. "I'll have to be careful" Leveski pulled out a kunai for his left hand and planned to use the claws on his right to shred the young child into ribbons.
"Get ready to die!" Leveski roared. Tensing the muscles in his leg, Leveski vanished.
"Oh no you don't!" Naruto mimicked the Beta wolf's action. The two fighters clashed all amongst the clearing, not even caring where there battle was going. While Naruto and the newly transformed Leveski were battling it out, his group of bandits had ideas of their own.
"While the boss is fighting the brat, we should raid the town again" One suggested.
"Yeah and with that brat distracted, there's no way we can be stopped this time. The civilians will be dead and soon enough the boss will have finished off the kid"
"What about the old man?" One pointed towards Tsukuno.
"What about him? It's not like he can stop us!"
"But didn't you hear the brat, he called him sensei! That means teacher and the teacher is usually stronger than the student" An actual intelligent bandit said.
"He's right you know!" Tsukuno called out, having heard their conversation. "You all can rush me if you please but know this, you'll probably die"
"Arrogant shit!"
"You think you can take us on?!"
"Yes" Tsukuno said dryly before pinching his nose in annoyance. "Okay I'll give you fools this, any bandit that wants to live take a step out of the group and move a good few feet away. Any that doesn't follow this order will die"
Only three actually moved away from the group. Leaving about fifty or more bandits left. Cocky enough to believe they could get past him.
"Alright then I warned ya" Tsukuno whipped out a kunai and threw it towards the remaining bandits. He went through a few hand seals quickly. "Kunai Kage Bunshin"
With that, the single kunai sprouted multiple duplicates of itself and began to ascend upon the bandits. They didn't even have time to scream out as the kunai pierced a major artery or some other fatal point on their body. In the matter of seconds, multiple corpses rested upon the ground. Soaking the earth with crimson liquid.
Turning back to the fight between Naruto and Leveski, Tsukuno muttered something. "I warned them"
Naruto reappeared a few feet from Tsukuno and panted slightly. The Shinobi noticed sweat dripped from his pupils brow. And his gi was slightly torn. But the fire in Naruto's eyes didn't die out or falter, not even for a moment. Tsukuno looked over and seen Leveski without a scratch, probably due to the fact being a Lycan gave them an advanced healing factor. But Tsukuno could see Leveski was breathing hard like Naruto.
"Dang Leveski-san, you're strong" Naruto commented, still on the defense in case he decided to attack.
"I must admit Naruto that you're strong yourself, a formidable opponent whose power I can respect" Leveski grinned. "But don't think that mean's you're going to win"
"Of course I'll win, just you try and beat me!"
Naruto rushed forward, the ground beneath him split and carved a clean path towards Leveski. Steel met steel as Naruto's staff and Leveski's kunai clashed against one another. Naruto had to duck under Leveski's claw swipes or risk getting his face torn off, he prefered if that didn't happen. The two became a blur once more, invisible to all the untrained eyes. But Tsukuno could follow all the high speed action.
Naruto's staff would bash some part of Leveski's cranium. Leveski was able to hit Naruto with a devastating kick, due to his longer legs. Fists, feet, staff attacks and more were used to batter one another. Tsukuno honestly couldn't tell who had the upper hand.
"I think it's about time we finished this fight, what do you say Leveski-san?" Naruto asked. Avoiding another fatal stab from his opponents kunai, Naruto leaped back and placed his staff back in it's holder. "One final attack!"
"Winner takes all huh?" Leveski said. "I can do that"
Putting away the kunai, Leveski began to mold his Chakra and went through hand seals. Ki shrouded Naruto's body and he began to take flight. Rising up into the air, Naruto began to control the Ki that shrouded his body and started to change the nature of it. If one looked closely, they could see that his Ki was beginning to morph into fire. The Saiyan child cringed slightly as the heat surrounding his body increased and he knew soon it would become unbearable. This was a very new technique and Naruto had never been able to figure out if it was battle worthy yet. Well he had no signature Ki attacks and it seemed Leveski could take a beating. So Naruto knew he had to end it here. Fenikkusu no Sakebi
"You won't survive this next one kid, this is the end!" Leveski declared, finishing up his last hand sign. "Kanton: Hantinguookami"(Fire style: Hunting wolf) Leveski spewed a stream of fire towards Naruto. As the fire raced into the sky, the stream began to take on the appearance of a snarling wolf.
"That won't stop me!" Naruto became a literal fireball that descended towards Leveski's attack. "Fenikkusu no Sakebi"(Cry of the Phoenix). Both attacks collided and a struggle for dominance began to ensue. Naruto had his fist etched forward, shrouded in Ki and using it to try and break through the snarling enflamed wolf. The Hantinguookami was pushing against him hard, small burning embers for eyes peering at the Saiyan child in the blazing inferno. Naruto's eyes burned with a fierce determination. He couldn't and would not lose! The inflamed wolf actually bit down on Naruto's arm, he refused to scream in pain as the fire burned his skin.
"Damn this is intense" Tsukuno said, he was shocked at what he was seeing. He had fought many battles in his career as a Shinobi and many were scary and intense in their own right. But to see a child doing battle with a former Shinobi and performing in such an amazing fashion. Tsukuno had to admit to himself that he was proud he was the one getting to teach Naruto.
"Ha!" Naruto reared his Ki shrouded fist back and hit the wolf as hard as he could. The wolf yelped, releasing it's grip on Naruto and the technique began to fall apart.
"What?!" Leveski yelled, shocked that his technique was defeated. And now he couldn't move, paralyzed in fear as the child raced towards him now! Naruto slammed his head into Leveski's chest, using his small body like a battering ram. The Beta Wolf hacked out blood as he was thrown across the clearing and collided harshly with the ground.
The fire died out around Naruto's body and he panted in exhaustion. Tsukuno was by Naruto's side instantly, moving faster than somebody his age should. Tsukuno noticed small burns all over Naruto's now exposed torso. Both attacks had completely annihilated Naruto's Gi top and his pants were burnt and had holes. But Naruto was smiling, knowing he had won the battle. Opening a tired eye, he looked at Tsukuno.
"How did I do sensei?"
"You did marvelous kid and you didn't need my assistance. I'm proud of you" Tsukuno smiled.
"Haha" Naruto chuckled out weakly as his eyes began to close. "Thanks sensei"
And with that, Naruto fell into the blissful world of sleep.

(A few miles away, two hours later)
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag from his pipe before slowly exhaling a small smog of toxic vapor. Currently the Third Hokage was standing upon the Hokage mountain, watching over his beautiful village. Despite being in the middle of the Third Shinobi war, you could never tell with how serene the image before him looked.
Suddenly Hiruzen smiled, sensing the presence behind him. "What can I do for you Minato-kun?"
Minato grinned sheepishly. "Good morning Hiruzen-sama" The grin lasted for a second before disappearing and Minato adopted a serious look. "I'm sure you've already heard about the incident a few miles outside the village"
"I have indeed. From what reports say, it happened near one of the minor towns that we trade with" The Third answered.
"Was one of our squads ambushed or something? Have there been any calls out for back up?" Minato asked.
"No I haven't sent any squads out that way today Minato-kun. And I'm sure you heard the most interesting part about the incident?"
"Something about a massive fireball suddenly appearing in the sky before descending towards the ground?" Minato asked. If that had happened, shouldn't there have been a massive explosion?
"Correct" Hiruzen took another drag of his pipe. "From what our spies in the town say, there was a kid that seemed to be the epicenter of it all"
"A child caused that?" Minato was surprised. He had never heard of a technique that caused a giant fireball to appear in the sky. But for it to be caused by a kid, well Minato sure wanted to meet him. "Should we send a squad to investigate the area? Maybe search for the child?"
"No Minato, everything is okay" Hiruzen looked over his shoulder and stared at the blonde Jounin. "And besides don't you have team to be training. You might want to hurry up so you can make your date with a certain red haired Kunoichi"
Minato blushed slightly. He would have asked how Hiruzen knew about his date but at the same time he wasn't surprised. As the Hokage, he probably knew all about what was going on in Konoha. "Your right Hokage-sama, I will be off then"
"Goodbye Minato-kun"
With that being said, the blonde Jounin vanished. Hiruzen still staring over his village, his gaze this time focused more beyond it's protective walls.
"What are you up too Tsukuno-kun?"
Hiruzen wondered, he would have to write that old fossil sometime soon.

That's where this chapter comes to a close. The next chapter will be moving on from the fight with Leveski and moving on down the road. Naruto is still unaware really of the war going on and Tsukuno wants to keep it that way. He will continue training Naruto and our favorite Saiyan child will begin to develop his own techniques. Also you've noticed there isn't a lot of Ki attacks being used. I have a reason for that and it being I want to give this more of a DragonBall kind of feel before moving onto the Z portion and it being massive Ki attacks. Jutsu being thrown around left and right. You know what I'm talking about
Well I'm off for now.
