ALO
New Aincrad
Floor 100
Haou Castle
The party all looking at Naruto in the black armor, as the wind blowing harshly and the earth trembling at the response to his power. Kirito and the others gulped nervously as they are waiting for Naruto to make the first move.
The wind slowly died down and the earth stopped shaking. Everybody that presences there all sigh in relief, as a thick tension was gone.
Meanwhile the torches began to transforms back to their proper forms. One player looked at Naruto's unmask face and widen his eyes.
"H-hey, look. I can't believe this. The identity of the final boss is actually the Hero of SAO and one of the winner of the third BoB, Naruto Yuuki Uzumaki! It's no wonder that nobody could clear this quest. After all, Naruto-sama is the ultimate VRMMO player. There is no such person that could surpass him. I wonder if there any chance to even clear New Aincrad anymore?"
The other players looked at the members of the party and recognized Kirito.
"Woah! The beater of SAO and the legendary Black Swordsman, Kirito is also here to clear this quest? Kirito and Naruto were buddies in SAO and never fought each other. But I wonder who will win in this battle? Even if he bring the party with him. It didn't mean anything. Naruto-sama is on the whole different level than the other boss in New Aincrad"
"Let's just observe the battle. It's not every day you could see those two fight" said the other member of the Salamander party.
The other party also was revived and watching the battle intently as well.
With the party
Leafa looked at the calm face of Naruto and wondered why Naruto didn't make any move yet. Her thoughts were interrupt by a barrage of flame arrows comes from behind her. She turned back and saw Sinon shoot a barrage of arrows at Naruto.
Naruto saw that the arrows are heading to him just raised Yata no Kagami to deflect them. He then turned to Sinon and waving his finger at her.
"Tch, tch, that was not very nice Shino-chan. I still have done anything yet"
Sinon looked at Naruto's snug face and began to feel even more enrage at his arrogance.
Kirito decided that he will make the first move with that he charged forward at Naruto with Excalibur in hand.
"Everybody, follow my lead!" shouted Kirito and everyone behind follow him.
Naruto just standing there and smirking amusely.
"Come, and show me everything that you guys have got!" shouted Naruto gleefully.
The first to charge at Naruto was Klein with his flame sword skill. He intends to slash at Naruto's torso, but Naruto just raised Ame no Murakumo to deflect the strike. Then he kicked Klein away just in time to jump back and avoid the swing from Liz Mjölnir.
"Woah, Liz, since when a wife allowed to hit her husband with a legendary hammer, huh?"
Liz at the teasing of Naruto just felt even more enrage and shouted.
"Naruto!"
With that she slammed Mjölnir to the ground and generated a wave of electricity that head to Naruto's direction with great speed.
Naruto noticed that and put the Yata no Kagami in front to deflect the attack.
He then looked behind as he noticed Silica behind him with her water dagger tried to stab him. He allowed her to stab.
Silica at first gasped then smiling triumphantly as she managed to injured Naruto. But the Naruto in front of her just disperse in a puff of black smoke. She gasped at shock that turned behind and saw the smirking face of Naruto. He the flicked her forehead and jumped right away to avoid a barrage of ice arrows. He turned to the direction where the arrows comes from and saw Sinon stood there in a shooting stance.
"Today, I will make you pay for the humiliation you caused me in GGO, Naruto. Prepare yourself" declared Sinon and pointing her finger at Naruto.
Naruto blinked and then sigh.
"So you still mad at the accident, huh? But that won't happen, as you can see I am on the whole other level then you guys right now. You guys didn't even manage to scratch me even once" said Naruto and shook his head then shrugging his shoulder.
That comment just makes Sinon more mad as she than charged at Naruto and used hand-to-hand combat at Naruto. Naruto dodged easily and caught her hands in his smirking arrogantly.
"What now, Shino-chan?"
But he forced to release her as Kirito and Leafa charging at him from behind and striking at him simultaneously. Naruto chucked his mouth in annoyance and jumped far back.
Agil threw his axe at Naruto when he was in mid-air, with a hope to at least injure him once. But Naruto chanted the incantation and the black portal appeared behind him to teleport the axe away.
The party decided to regroup.
"We couldn't injure him not even once. And he is just toying with us. Naruto's power is incredible" said Kirito with gritted teeth.
"I know Naruto-kun is strong, but this is ridiculous. The whole party attack and no one has managed to injure him" said Leafa impressed.
"And he didn't actually use any of his sword skills. So far he used only Kyoka Suigetsu and the teleportation spell. I don't want even to think what will happen to us if he used his sword skills" said Asuna looking at Naruto seriously.
"And he didn't seem to have any weakness. Right now he just used counter moves against us. If he decided to go on the offense, we are doomed" said Klein shivering.
"Never expect to fight Naruto. And now when I am finally realized what he is capable of. To tell the truth I am actually scared" said Agil glancing at Naruto from the corner if his eyes.
Kirito just looked at Naruto the whole time and vice versa. He came here to test himself against Naruto. So if he wanted Naruto fight seriously he will need to fight with everything he got.
"Everyone, I know that what I am about to say sound ridiculous, but... I want to have a duel with Naruto. So please just observe or heal me if need. Naruto invited me here to test our limits. Now, I will fight like I never fought before. Not even when I am in SAO. It will be first time, which I will give 120% of myself in a fight. I want to know the real gap between me and Naruto. So please, don't interfere" said Kirito and the look his eyes changed to serious. The battlelust began to radiate from his body.
Everybody looked at the change of Kirito in bewilderment. They really never saw Kirito like this. Asuna looked at Kirito with wide eyes then smiled.
Kirito then charged at Naruto with blinding speed that caused Naruto to surprise and raised Ame no Murakumo no deflect it. Then they clashed blades with one another. Defecting each other strikes, after strikes.
Kirito activate flame sword skill and slashed at Naruto. The slash was powerful enough for Naruto to activate Phantom Blade, as his sword glowed pitch black. Naruto then jumped back to create some distance between them.
"So this is a serious you huh, Kirito. The you that I didn't know existed. Alright, now we will fight for real" said Naruto and prepared to rush at Kirito.
Kirito just stay silent and observe Naruto. He couldn't afford himself to lower his guard even once in this battle.
Naruto rushed at him then widen his eyes and said.
"Phantom Sonic Rush"
With that Naruto was multiplied by five and all rushed at Kirito. Kirito remembered Naruto explained about this skill. And close his eyes and tried to find the original among those five. He noticed the battlelust comes from the third Naruto and slashed at him. Naruto widen his eyes and was forced to raise his sword to protect himself.
Kirito charged forward with his flame sword again and slashed multiple times at Naruto and forced him on the defense. Then he unsheathed his second sword and used the ice sword skill and with a battle cry began to assault Naruto.
Naruto gritted his teeth, as he understood that Kirito has unleashed his Skill Connect. He tried his best to deflect all the strikes, but Kirito's speed is very impressive. And finally Naruto was slashed across his chest by Kirito, with his twin swords.
With the party.
They looked wide eyes as Kirito battling on the while other level than he was before. They couldn't believe e their eyes that just a moment ago the whole party having trouble even to touch Naruto, Yet, now Kirito is fighting on par with Naruto.
"Onii-chan is amazing" said Leafa in awe.
"I know that. But Naruto-kun still hasn't go all out yet. He still hasn't unleashed any of his dark magic" said Liz looking at the fight.
"That's Kirito for you. Come on, Kirito! Kick Naruto's ass!" cheered Klein loudly.
Sinon just watch the fight silently then said.
"It's true that Kirito right now is keeping up with Naruto. But that doesn't mean he could win this fight"
"Why did you say that Sinon-san?" asked Asuna with narrowed eyes.
Sinon turned back to Asuna and replied.
"Did you forget the accident with Death Gun in GGO, Asuna? That's Naruto's true power that was suppressed. That was the ultimate swordsman. Even though I doubt he will appear here, Naruto still haven't gone all out yet"
Then they saw Kirito used Skill Connect and managed to injure Naruto.
"Yeah, that's the spirit. Keep it up, Kirito!" cheered Klein.
"Well, he actually managed to injure Naruto. That's impressive" said Agil whistling out loud.
Asuna just smiled looking at Kirito's direction.
"You can do it, Kirito-kun!"
Kirito vs Naruto
Naruto looked at his chest and saw the crossed traces of swords. He then looked back at Kirito and said.
"Well, that was impressive. But..."
Naruto then charged at Kirito with blinding speed, cause Kirito to widen his eyes. Naruto appeared behind him and slashed at his back then disappeared and appeared above him and slashed down.
Kirito received a slash to his neck gritted his teeth in pain then forced to jump back as Naruto slash down at him from above.
Naruto then disappeared again and reappeared behind Kirito and unleashed his Spectral Liberation.
Kirito received all the slash and and jumped back panting. Then he narrowed his eyes and wondered why nothing happened. Then he widens his eyes and recalled the memory of that skill.
Naruto snapped his fingers and said.
"... It's still not enough to defeat me. You need to try much harder"
With that all the strikes delivered by Naruto magically appeared on Kirito's body.
Kirito screamed in pain at all those strikes and fall on his back with his eyes widening.
"I-Impossible" muttered Kirito looking at the dark sky above him.
With the party
When they saw Kirito fell to his back, the while party began to widen their eyes and shouted out in worry.
"Kirito-kun!" shouted Asuna and began to heal him.
"I can't believe it. Naruto just turned the table in the blink of the eye. Just how string is that guy really" muttered Klein in disbelief.
"Naruto began to fight seriously. That action proved that Kirito is strong enough to make him become serious" stated Sinon looking at the fight.
"Onii-chan... Naruto-kun" muttered Leafa, she didn't know who she want to cheer for.
"Naruto-san had become serious now. Can Kirito-san keep up with him now, I wonder?" wondered Silica.
"Just believe in him. I am sure Kirito will make a turn table soon enough" said Agil looking at the fight.
"Yeah, all we can do now is believed in him" said Asuna.
"Well, I actually felt bad that I am cheering for Kirito and not my husband. But he played villain here. So it's just logically, right?" Said Liz scratching her head.
"Well, Naruto is the last boss of New Aincrad. And Kirito is just clearing the quest. Could you really call him a villain?" said Klein.
"Let's just continue to observe the fight I feel that it will get to the interesting stage very soon" replied Sinon with a smirk on her face.
Kirito vs Naruto.
Naruto is waiting for Kirito to stand back up and prepared himself for any attacks.
Kirito jump back up then shook his head to clear his head.
"As expected from Naruto. You managed to turn the table very quick. But I too still haven't unleashed my trump card yet" said Kirito looking at Naruto.
Naruto cocked his head aside and said smirking.
"Ho? Then show me, your trump card"
Kirito smiled and then charged at Naruto with his twin sword and began to slash at him. Naruto dodged some and deflect some. He is on defense for now as he waits for Kirito to unleash his trump card.
Kirito's eyes turned to the Yata no Kagami and narrowed his eyes. Then he strikes multiple strikes at Naruto's left hand aiming for the Yata no Kagami.
Naruto noticed that and tried to defect all the strikes. Suddenly, both Kirito's Excalibur and the other swords glowed different colour at the same time.
Kirito unleashed a battle cry and slashed both his swords at Naruto releasing a wave of wind from his left sword and a wave of fire from Excalibur in his right hand. Two waves fused into one and create a raging inferno that head to Naruto's way.
Naruto widen his eyes at seeing that happen. He then raised Yata no Kagami with intension to defect that attack. But it was no use, the strikes was so powerful that it destroyed the Yata no Kagami in Naruto's left hand.
Kirito seeing the result of his skill and smirked satisfyingly.
With the party.
They were utterly shocked seeing Kirito create the inferno that even destroyed Yata no Kagami.
"W-what kind of skill is that? I've never seen anything like this before" muttered Klein completely in shock.
"So that was Kirito's trump card. I should say I'm very impressed. And even Naruto was shocked at that performance" said Sinon in awe.
"Kirito-kun, you managed surprised us once more again" muttered Asuna with a smile.
"Woah, have you seen that? It was so freaking awesome!" Said Liz with stars in her eyes.
"That Kirito, sure knows how to surprise people" said Agil with a smirk.
"Now with Yata no Kagami gone. Naruto-kun won't be able to deflect magic attacks any more. Which if what I am thinking is right. Onii-chan will activate the Alpha-Stigma very soon" stated Leafa looking at the battle.
"Alpha-Stigma? What is that Leafa-san?" asked Silica curiously
. Everybody also turned their attention at Leafa waiting for the explanation.
Leafa looked at everybody than said.
"Oh, I forgot you guys don't know about that. Alpha-Stigma are magical eyes that gives the user to use any spells in the interval if 5 minutes. During those 5 minutes the users MP is infinite he could use any spells no matter how many need to use it. Onii-chan obtained those eyes during the time he and I tried to bypass the guardian to reach the World Tree to rescue Naruto-kun"
Everybody looking in awe hearing that, they didn't even know that Kirito had something like that.
Kirito vs Naruto
Naruto looked at his destroyed Yata no Kagami and sigh. He then looked back at Kirito and said.
"So the destruction of Yata no Kagami was your intension from the start. Am I right?"
Kirito just nodded his head and said.
"With the Yata no Kagami gone. You are now vulnerable to magic attacks while I have advantage. Because I have this..."
With that Kirito closed his eyes and the reopen them to reveal the Alpha-Stigma in his eyes
. "Alpha-Stigma... So you want to move to the next stage eh? The battle of magic. Ok, then let's start the second act" said Naruto and put hue hand on his face and materialized the fox mask on his head. Then he unleashed Kumenju and has them surround Kirito.
"Let's the magic battle start!" Said Naruto.
