Chapter 4: The big game
Itachi and Eddy had just lead Naruto to an old, abandoned gym with what looked like a mat, rusted barbells with weights, and practice dummys. Smirking Itachi turned to Naruto and held his arms out wide.
"Welcome to your new training dojo," Itachi proclaimed, Naruto just looked around and nodded calmly.
"So where do we start," Naruto asked, looking between the dummies and the weights. Itachi and Eddy just smirked before motioning Naruto over to the mat.
"We're going to start off with a sparring match," Itachi answered, "to gauge how well you handle different fighting styles."
Eddy immediately got into his fighting stance and Naruto got into his. Seeing that both were ready Itachi stepped into the middle of the mat and gave the signal to begin. At first the two just stared each other down, daring the other to make the first move. After staring Naruto down for a good two minutes Eddy ran at Naruto, planted both his hands on the ground, and tried to kick Naruto in the face with a high kick. Naruto grabbed the leg only to be surprised when Eddy took both his hands off the ground and spun, bringing his heel into Naruto's cheek. Releasing Eddy's leg Naruto began holding his jaw in pain, only to be knocked into the air when Eddy did a backflip and kicked Naruto right in the chin. Landing on his back Naruto thought he saw stars for a moment and just barely avoided the heel Eddy was bringing down on his nose. Getting up Naruto was trying to find a way to fight back when Eddy did a leg sweep, which he barely jumped over, and then turning it into another high kick, firmly connecting with Naruto's chin, again.
"What the hell kind of fighting style is that," Naruto asked, rubbing his face to relieve the pain.
"It's called Capoeira," Eddy answered, "it's basically a Brazilian Martial art."
Nodding Naruto got back into his fighting stance and tried to land a blow on Eddy, he found it harder than staying on Gamabunta's back. When he went to do a sweep kick Eddy jumped over it with his stomach being parallel to the ground. Landing on his left foot Eddy spun again and both his heels landed in Naruto's right leg. It was at this moment Itachi decided to end the sparring match.
"All right that's enough," Itachi declared to the two fighters. Smiling Eddy backed off the mat and sat on the weight bench, while Naruto got up holding his leg.
"Man that Capoeira stuff hurts," Naruto exclaimed, holding his leg as he limped off the mat. Itachi just shook his head and sighed.
"Well you obviously can't defend yourself where Capoeira is concerned so lets hope that all the Capoeira fighters loose," Itachi stated.
"Shouldn't be too hard the only one left is Christie," Eddy stated, leaning against the bar. Needless to say that statement caused a bit of a shock for Naruto.
"Christie knows Capoeira," Naruto asked, to which Eddy just nodded.
"She should I taught her," Eddy explained, this caused a determined glint to come to Naruto's eyes as he stepped back onto the mat.
"Let's go," Naruto exclaimed, Itachi just sighed before looking at Eddy, who shrugged but got on the mat.
Meanwhile with Asuka...
'BAM' went another blow to the punching bag as Asuka nearly tore a hole in it from picturing Christie's face, which for some odd reason made her angrier. Sending a roundhouse kick to the bag Asuka split it open like a knife cutting through a plastic bag. Growling Asuka went to find another bag while she seethed in anger.
'Why the hell am I angry,' Asuka thought, and then a mental picture of Naruto popped in her mind. The mental picture of Naruto seemed to soothe Asuka's anger before confusion set in.
'Why do I care so much about Naruto,' Asuka thought wearily as she leaned against a wall.
Meanwhile with Christie...
Christie had just gone through another routine of her Capoeira and had decided to take a break when her mind flashed to Naruto. Smiling she began thinking of having Naruto as an actual boyfriend until she shook it off.
'Come on Christie remember why you're here,' Christie thought to herself as she got back to training.
Back with Naruto...
It was about two hours later and Naruto had somehow developed a number of defensive moves and counterattacks to Capoeira and was trying to find a way to fight back against Raven when he saw Asuka, looking lost and confused.
"Hey Asuka what brings you around here," Naruto asked, startling the poor girl.
"Oh hey Naruto," Asuka greeted, " I was looking for you."
Nodding Naruto smiled at Asuka causing the girl to blush, though she didn't know it.
"I was just training to fight Raven," Naruto said with a sigh.
"Guessing it's not going well," Asuka asked concerned, Naruto just shook his head.
"Not as well as I planned," Naruto answered, pouting for a bit Asuka grabbed Naruto by the wrist and led him to a peaceful Japanese-style garden. Looking a bit confused Naruto was about to ask a question but Asuka beat him to it.
"The first step to beating a guy like Raven is to find peace within yourself," Asuka explained, nodding Naruto then began to go into a meditative state. Imagine where that led him.
In Naruto's Mindscape...
Naruto was standing in front of a giant cage that had a pair of malicious red eyes behind the bars.
"So my jailer we meet again," the Kyubi said in a loud thundering voice. Naruto just glared at the Kyubi some more before saying his response.
"And if I had my way it would've been a lot longer," Naruto said, never letting his gaze waver. The Kyubi just chuckled darkly as Naruto glared at him some more.
"So the Kazama girl suggested you find peace," the Kyubi asked mockingly, "While I reside within you there will be no peace."
Now neither one of the two knew what made Naruto laugh next all they knew was that Naruto was laughing like he heard a joke, before he walked out of the room leaving a enraged Kyubi. Now at first Naruto didn't know what to look for so he just opened as many doors as he could, some were just so bad they would've made the Kyubi seem like a saint. Until he got a door that was different from the other rusted metal ones. This door was light blue with chipping paint, a faded brass door knob, and a window that looked like someone threw a rock through it. Opening the door Naruto for once in his life felt at peace with everything.
Real World...
Asuka was beginning to worry Naruto had gone inside his mind ten minutes ago and he still wasn't showing any signs of coming out any time soon. Just as Asuka was about to try and shake Naruto out of it Naruto's flew open with his eye color being a lighter shade of blue then they were before. Stretching his muscles Naruto began punching the air rapidly, then he switched to kicks, and he ended it off with combos. Smiling at the end of it Naruto turned to Asuka with a big smile on his face, causing the girl to blush.
"Thanks Asuka," Naruto said before walking back to Itachi and Eddy and finishing off the day with another sparring match.
Next Day...
Naruto was standing in what looked like a rain forest when Raven appeared from the trees. The guy had blonde hair, a X shaped scar on his face, a pair of sunglasses obscuring his eyes, his skin was chocolate brown color, and he was wearing a black and gold sleeveless top, black pants, and black boots.
"Round One," said the female over the speakers, "Get Ready...FIGHT!"
Naruto took up his new taijutsu stance, which had one hand running parallel to his body and the hand in a supportive kind of manner, and Raven took his, which had his left hand extended with his fingers slightly curled and his right hand back near his head with two fingers extended. After they got into their stances Naruto closed his eyes and reopened them with the iris being a lighter blue. Running at full speed Raven went for a snap kick only for Naruto to jump behind the kick and deliver one to the Raven's back. Raven stumbled a little before he turned around and tried to do a palm strike to Naruto's chest. Naruto grabbed Raven's outstrecthed arm and delivered a palm strike of his own to Raven's abdomen. Doubling over Raven began coughing until he was met with a heel drop to the back of the head. Somehow managing to get up Raven shook his head and began throwing a rapid series of palm strikes and kicks at Naruto, who began dodging them like they were nothing. After Raven tried to do a double palm strike to Naruto's chest Naruto swiped Raven's hands aside and delivered a double palm strike to Raven's chest, sending the fighter to the ground.
"Round One Winner Naruto Uzumaki," The voice said over the speakers.
Back in Konoha...
Everyone was gathered around a plasma screen TV at the Uchiha Compound, because of the size of the crowd which now had Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Neji, TenTen, and Shino, and the reaction to Naruto's fight was a mixture of shock, pride, and awe.
"Since when did Naruto fight like that," Ino asked in complete shock. Everyone either shrugged or just ignored her.
"Man I gotta take some lessons from him when he gets back," Kiba said, in complete awe of Naruto's new fighting prowess.
"I agree," Choji said, passing a bowl of popcorn to Kakashi.
With Jin...
'It would seem my cousin has taught you well Naruto Uzumaki,' Jin thought as he viewed the footage, 'Maybe a little too well.'
Back with Naruto...
Raven had just gotten up and was trying to catch his second wind, when a question came to his mind.
"What elemental country do you hail from," Raven asked.
"Fire country," Naruto answered, slightly confused on Raven's question. But before either could ask another question the announcer came back over the speakers.
"Round Two," The voice announced, "Get Ready...Fight!"
Deciding to wait Raven stayed in his spot and stared Naruto down, while Naruto took up a new fight stance, that had a open palm pointed at Raven and a fist back close to Naruto's head. Charging at the same time the two began a rapid series of attacks, counterattacks, parries, and throws. The deciding factor came when Raven tried to do a leg sweep and Naruto jumped over it, much like Eddy had done to him, and delivered a kick to the back of Raven's head. When Raven got up Naruto kicked him into the air, jumped up to his level, and kicked Raven in the stomach, the left arm, the right leg, punched him in his chest, and did a hammer blow to the top of Raven's head, forming a crater when Raven hit the ground.
"Ryu Rendan," Naruto shouted as he touched down.
"Winner: Naruto Uzumaki," the voice announced.
"That was a tough one," Naruto said, with a smile on his face. Naruto then picked Raven up and shunshined them to the hospital.
