I don't own Naruto
Chapter 12: What the Hell?
Out of the fog stepped-... A kindly old man!
"Hello young travelers!" The man said. "Good to see you all on this new bridge! I was just crossing it to get home when I heard footsteps. And wouldn't you know, I turned around to find you all! My name is Minoru."
At this point team 9 had face-faulted onto the ground and was struggling to regain composer. "Ah it's good to see it was just a friendly face." Said Guy. "What do you say we head back to Wave Country together?"
"Sounds great!" The old man said.
The team had been walking behind the man for some time now and were about three fourths across when the man suddenly stopped.
"Well we have almost reached the end of our journey," said the old man, turning to face them.
"It would seem so," Said Kimi.
"So I hope you are all prepared..."
"Prepared for what?" Lee asked Minoru.
"Prepared for your DEATHS!" He shouted as 3 giant water dragons flew over the side of the bridge and strait at team Guy and Kimi.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Naruto shouted. The three genin jumped to defend Kimi and Guy leaped at the dragons.
"Leaf strong whirlwind!" Guy shouted, using a lightning-fast spinning kick to dispel the water beasts. "Alright, exactly who are you old man?"
"Well, seeing as you survived that attack, I might as well reveal my true identity," 'Minoru' said as he puffed into smoke. When the light cloud disappeared, a tall, blue-skinned man with pointed teath and pointed navy hair appeared. To complete this shark-like appearance his eyes were small with no iris, and he had GILLS on the side of his face. He was wearing a black cloak with a red cloud pattern on it, and had a large sword rapped in bandages on his back. Naruto could have sworn he saw it move...
"My name is Kisame Hoshigaki, and I will be your killer for this evening."
"I have heard of you, Hoshigaki..." Guy said. "Students, take Kimi and get out of here as fast as possible!"
"But we can't leave you sensei!" Tenten protested. "We're a team!"
"I know, but the safety of you and the client are most important!" Guy said valiantly. (cliché huh?...)
"Wow, how touching," Kisame said sarcastically. "Look it's not like your going to live anyway, so why not die together? Water clone jutsu!" Upon saying this, 3 Kisame clones appeared behind Kimi and the genin. "Those should keep you occupied while I deal with your teacher."
Then he charged in at Guy and the two were fighting with hand to hand combat.
The genin jumped away from the clones, Lee grabbing Kimi with him.
"Alright, I'll take the one on the left, Naruto you get the right, Lee protect Kimi and try to keep her out of harm's way from the third!" Tenten planned. The three nodded and followed the impromptu plan.
Tenten summoned her puppet Yami out of her scroll and Naruto activated his byakugan.
"Oh, I'm so scared of a bunch of pathetic ninja posers," A Kisame clone taunted.
He quickly raised his blade to block a charging Yami, only to find paperbombs stuck along the sword when he pulled back."
"Dammit!" he said, throwing his sword high into the air. As soon as he did, it exploded into water and he was weaponless. The clone charged in strait at Tenten, but was met with the blades of Yami. In a battle between puppet versus clone the puppet won, a poison blade hitting its mark in the water duplicate's chest. The clone dissolved into water, and Tenten rushed to help out Lee.
Whilst this was going on, Naruto went through a somewhat simple battle against his clone. The Kisame phony charged at him, but Naruto sidestepped and struck the clone twice in the chest, and gave it a strong palm-thrust to the stomach. The clone immediately dissipated into water, and Naruto also rushed off to help Lee.
The last clone proved a challenge to all three of the young ninja. Naruto's crystal shuriken were blocked by the sword, and every time he went in for a fatal jyuuken blow, the clone launched a water shark at him. Tenten's luck wasn't any better than her teammate's. Every time Yami charged him, no matter how discreetly, the sword absorbed the chakra strings, rendering the puppet useless. Lee didn't have much chance to fight seeing as he had to keep the fake Kisame away from Kimi.
Things weren't looking too great until Lee came up with a plan. "Guys," Lee said, "I have an idea! Naruto, you take my place in guarding Kimi and I will take out the clone myself. Tenten, back me up!"
"Are you crazy?" Tenten shouted at him.
"Let's just trust him. I think I know what he's got planned," Naruto said, protecting Lee.
"Ugh... If you say so," Tenten admitted defeat.
"Alright! Back up you guys!" Naruto leaped back, Tenten did as well, just not as far. "Smoke release: Hell Cloud!" After announcing the attack, a thick stream of smoke exited his mouth, filling the area around the clone in a thick cloud. It actually turned the clone into dust! Lee quickly released the technique so he wouldn't hurt anyone, and the smoke cloud disappeared.
"That was amazing Lee!" Tenten, Naruto, and Kimi chorused.
"Thank you..." Lee said with a tired smile before collapsing to his knees and passed out.
The others quickly rushed over and helped him up.
"That technique must be very draining..." Naruto observed. "I wish we could help guy sensei, but we need to stay here and care for Lee..."
"Right," agreed Tenten and Kimi.
Well there's the new chap! I hope you all liked it, and this time I only left a partial cliffhanger! What will happen to Guy up against the powerful Kisame Hoshigaki? Will Lee be OK? Will I overcome my laziness and get around to writing the next chapter this week? Stay tuned and find out. Read and review, thanks!
