Chapter 3: Development

'Why didn't you use Kyuubi Mode, you fool. You took a direct hit. Quit messing around already, I know you can do better than this. What kind of plan is

this supposed to be because you won't be able to use it if you're dead!'

'I know that. I let down my guard on purpose.'

'Why would you do that?! Naruto? Hey!'

Naruto already cut him out. He let himself sick further so that he could swim underneath Sasuke and surprise him. Then he would try to hit him with a

Giant Rasengan. If that doesn't work he would be forced to use Kyuubi Mode.

"Where are you, stupid moron? I know this couldn't have brought you down. So why don't you come out like a man and fight."

Just when Sasuke finished saying this Naruto jumped out of the water and was about to attack the raven haired. Unfortunelly for him Sasuke must

have noticed him and was prepared. He dodged his attack by jumping and was about to start a counter attack when he got hit from behind with a

Giant Rasengan and was pushed back to the surface of the water. Sasuke smirked. "So now the fight's going to start. That's what I was waiting for.

I guess those little shadow clones of yours can actually be quite helpful sometimes."

Naruto entered Kyuubi Mode while Sasuke reactivated his Susanoo (he had it deactivated after he hit Naruto because for a moment he thought he

wasn't worth it). With the words "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu" Sasuke blew out a giant ball of fire towards Naruto and threw a bunch of Kunais through

it. Naruto easily dodged this and created three new shadow clones which ran towards Sasuke while he used his chakra arms to prepare another

"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken". Sasuke destroyed all of the blonde's shadow clones with his Amaterasu. As both were now standing on the stone

statues, Naruto threw the Rasenshuriken right beneath Sasuke to create an axplosion. Sasuke was barely hit by the blast but it was enough to make

his left leg bleed and for him to be thrown off the statue of Madara Uchiha. But with a direct hit of the chidori stream Naruto was, too. Both landed on

a wooden statue just like 4 years ago.

"This time it won't end the way it did last time! This time I won't just lose to you." Naruto's expression was serious and it was almost like he clenched

his teeth. Sasuke just responded with a laugh. His voice got even deeper than last time which made the laugh very dark. Last time Sasuke activated

his curse mark while Naruto used the Beast Mode for the first time with just one tail. Now the two shinobi brought it to a whole new level - they were

high level shinobi. Sasuke lost his curse mark but has his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan - something only Madara Uchiha had so far - and Naruto has

mastered the Kyuubi Mode and can't be controlled by it anymore. He even became friends with the fox. Both have grown to be incredible strong

shinobi and are no children anymore.

"You're right it won't end the same. We're not friends anymore and I do plan to come back this time. And I will be the next hokage." Sasuke had no

doubt in his words. At least he didn't show it. " But the winner of this fight is still going to be me. You have more chakra than me but it have the

better techniques."

"You're sure about that?" As Naruto formed a Beast Bomb Sasuke prepared another lightning blade and the two jumped towards eath other.

Sorry it's been so long again. I plan to post the next chapter in a few days and I have a mayor cliff hanger. (or it least mayor compared to the previews endings ;) ) So stay tuned. ;)

For the ones who think this is going to be a SasuNaru story I have to dissappoint you. I'm not exactly into this kind of stuff. But it's going to get better though ;)
