Ch.2 Battle Of The Deadlasts! Part One
Naruto looked sheepishly at Lee from across the dojo. The blond ninja muttered something under his breath, then nervously spoke louder.
"Uh, Kakashi-sensei, are you s-sure you want me to do this?" The genin said, fiddling with his fingers.
I've been near Hinata too much, Naruto noted in his mind.
Kakashi looked intensely (well, as intensely as a ninja with only one visible eye can) at his pupil. After a few seconds, Kakashi smiled and gave Naruto a big thumbs up. "Naruto." Kakashi said, enthusiasm in his voice. "You always want stronger opponents! Harder missions! Well, he's the chance to prove your worth!"
Neji let out a small chuckle as the genin looked at him. "A deadlast against a deadlast? You all act like it's amazing. I'm sure the next fight will be me against the Uchiha. That's the battle you should all be looking forward to." The white-eyed ninja said, closing his eyes and folding his arms.
Suddenly, the Green Beast of Konoha gave Neji a thumbs up and yelled out, "Neji! Please do not forget, it was Naruto who defeated you in the Chunin Exams!"
"Yes, I haven't forgotten, you fool…" The Hyuuga muttered, his teammate oblivious to his tone and the now throbbing vein on his forehead.
Lee looked over to his opponent, a more somber look on his face. "Naruto, allow me to show you the fiery power of my youth! Please, hold nothing back!" The spandex ninja cried out, a little louder than necessary. Naruto nodded. Suddenly, the orange genin began a blaze of handsigns, yelling out " Shadow Clone Jutsu!". A multitude of Narutos surrounded Lee, giving a small smirk as he adjusted to a defense stance. "Come at me now, Naruto!"
As the green genin spoke, the Naruto clones flew at Lee in a seemingly choreographed fashion. They stacked up in a dome around and on top of him, until all that was visible was a grinning bunch of blond ninja.
All of the ninja present were impressed by how quickly Naruto managed to get the upper hand on the taijutsu master (save for Sasuke, instead wearing his trademark permanent scowl).
The real Uzumaki ran atop his dome of clones, jumping high into the air above and grabbing the swinging light. He laughed like a child and yelled out, "Hey Lee! How you doing under my dog pile? How about my newest technique? Time to show you it…"
The blonde ninja jumped down, head first as he flew at the pile. "Uzumaki Diver Bomb!"
Suddenly, the two teams gasped. Not at Naruto, but at his doppelganger dome.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
The Narutos on the bottom of the dome flew back at Lee's signature ground kick, and the whole structure of the dome began to fall apart. The real Naruto tried to avert his course, but it was useless. Lee had the advantage now!
Suddenly, as Naruto can close to crashing into Lee, he jumped up.
"Leaf Rising Wind Kick!"
All Naruto could do was spit out blood as the green beast sent him spiraling into the wall.
Hey Guys! Sorry about how short this chapter is, but my family wound up taking a surprise trip this week, and I just got back today. Just be glad I was able to upload this much! I was gonna make Ch. 2 one part, but seeing how we went on a trip, consider this a 'sneak peek'. Part two will probably be much longer, and hopefully I'll have it done by Tuesday, or Wednesday at the latest.
BTW- NaruIno fans, I have a story after this one in progress that will be uploaded after this one! Chapter one is already complete. I will, however, finish this story before uploading it. Thanks, come back next week for more!
