Chapter6:
Battle Between Two Foes!No Jutsus allowed!
Naruto caught his breath and sat himself up. "If anyone is fighting him…it's gonna be me!"
The four of us sat there, surprised to see Naruto in the doorway. Ok, maybe not surprised, but knowing better than to think Naruto wouldn't show up the first Sasuke started going to this school. "And so you shall," Kakashi accepted and sent Reiya back up to where we were sitting. Honestly, I was happy Reiya didn't have to fight Sasuke. For one, Naruto would have been super pissed if she did, and second…well, I guess there really isn't a second is there? Well…Naruto would probably beat Reiya to death because he missed the perfect opportunity to fight Sasuke, but that's just me.
Sasuke and Naruto walked to the center of the gym and faced each other. Naruto raised an eyebrow when he saw Kakashi with a sock over his face. "Don't ask," Kakashi said.
"Don't worry I already know!" Naruto assured and turned all his attention back on Sasuke. He was smiling that insane evil smirk that gets annoying after awhile (or at least it does for me).
"Ready to lose like you did 3 years ago?" Sasuke sarcastically asked.
"Only if you can do it without jutsus."
"Well, you two can start now," Kakashi told them and came to where we were in lightning speed. By the time he did get to us, Naruto and Sasuke were already going at each other. They were doing pretty well for not being to not do jutsus. They kept catching each other's punches and kicks. They bounced from the floor to the wall, and back to the floor again. It was more like they were playing a game of tag instead of fighting each other…I guess the no jutsu thing sucks more for them than it does for me.
Kakashi kept a sharp eye on Sasuke. We all probably knew Sasuke would take any chance he got to sneak a jutsu. I would consider us pretty lucky to have Gym as seventh period because it looked liked they'd NEVER stop! The bell rang and all the other students left the gym. Naruto and Sasuke stopped and looked at Kakashi, who shook his head.
Sasuke yelled in frustration and charged at Naruto. Naruto swiftly dodged Sasuke's attack and threw 5 Chinese stars at him. Sasuke blocked it with a kuini.
I sat bored on the bleachers. I had to admit, these battles could be pretty boring without a jutsu. "Any minute now…" Kakashi said without taking his eyes off of Sasuke and Naruto.
"Any minute for what?" I asked confused.
"For one of them to use a jutsu. I mean, the chances of them EVER finishing this fight is with jutsus."
I thought hard for a moment. "So you're trying to teach them to not use jutsus every time, despite the fact Sasuke's our enemy right now?"
"That too, we couldn't let other people see them too."
I looked back at the two foes. It was hard to think about how they used to act… before Sasuke had gone to Orochimaru. They still hated each other, but, yet, they still worked as a team then. You wouldn't be able to tell they were rivals. But, seeing them fight like this, gave me a WHOLE new perspective. They eyes were full of hatred toward each other…and I hated to that.
"Damn it!" I heard Naruto yell, yanking me back into reality. One of them was bound to give in sometime. The only question was who it would be. Sasuke could easily slip past the hand signs for chidori without us seeing, and Naruto would need a clone to help make rasengan.
"That's it!" I heard one of them yell. "Jutsus or not! I'm using one!"
Before any of us could see who said it, Kakashi was already down there to break it up. I recollected my thoughts and saw Kakashi holding a tight grip on Sasuke's wrist.
"That's enough for today," he said, and let go of Sasuke's wrist. Sasuke gave Kakashi a face of loathing and left through the gym doors. The rest of us came down to where Kakashi and Naruto were standing. "Soooo…we can go home now right, because I have a lot of homework," Kankuro randomly asked.
"If you have any questions I'll be happy to help!" Reiya squealed and grabbed Kankuro's arm.
Meanwhile…
Sasuke walked down the dark corridors of Orochimaru's hideout. He was aware the news of not being able to even touch Naruto after all these years would upset his snake-freak master greatly.
He opened the door where Orochimaru waited for his return. "His progress…?" he hissed.
"Impressive master. Even without jutsus, he managed to avoid all of my attacks."
"Seems to me that either he's getting stronger…or you're getting weaker."
"Why you…!" Sasuke yelled. He pulled out a kuini and started to run toward the master he greatly respected…at times.
I know this chapter is a little shorter than the others, but I got lazy. Had to match the title (yes, I'm that picky). Anywho, sorry to have kept you waiting a long time. I'll start chapter seven soon!
