Naruto and Sasuke face off. The two teams stood facing each other ripples on the water formed and small rocks shook as the air became thick with Chakra. Rain started to pour down as though the heavens themselves wept at this harsh outcome of the destiny of these two individuals. Naruto looked at each of Sasuke's new teammates and then he noticed Suigetsu and spoke

"That sword's not yours"

Suigetsu grinned and took out Zabuza's sword and gripped it in one hand and spoke

"That's right you were on the team the defeated my mentor"

Sasuke decided to end the conversation and activating his sharingan spoke

"That's enough Suigetsu Naruto you didn't come here to make small talk it ends today"

"We've come to bring you back by force if necessary"

At this Karin scoffed and spoke in a jeering voice

"Oh please as if you could defeat Sasuke kun"

Sakura gave an annoyed glance at Karin but Naruto spoke with the perfect comeback

"I see you've picked up another fan girl I liked the last one better"

And as he said this put his hand on Sakura's shoulder who simply smiled Karin on the other hand was outraged and thought about replying but decided against it. she broke out into a cold sweat the level of this boys Chakra was enough to crush the life out of her but she could sense more and dark sinister charka within, behind this boys warm smile there was an evil presence with such a wraith it would kill everyone here and never think about it again. There was no way they could fight someone like this they had to run run away ad never look back. Karin turned to Sasuke and tried to speak but Sasuke started

"Naruto it ends today I'm finally going to break that supposed bond you cling to"

"Sasuke you're the bridge I need to cross but I prefer a change of scenery shall we?"

With that Sasuke and Naruto vanished and Karin let out a sigh of relief which Jugo picked up

"Are you all right Karin?"

"That boy It's hard to believe he's human this won't be easy"

"Show some backbone Karin"

Suigetsu remarked and then grinning looked at the rest of team 7

"Looks like it's just us let's kill some time until the bosses return"

Meanwhile Sasuke and Naruto stood opposite each other in the Valley of the end Naruto looked around at the destruction their first match had caused and grinned.

"How nostalgic"

Sasuke stood stone faced waiting for Naruto to make the first move, Naruto turned to face Sasuke and smiled

"Still acting cool then huh your teammates are they your friends or subordinates?"

"What does it matter?"

At this Naruto became serious and faced Sasuke, Naruto reached into his pocket, Sasuke quickly prepared to defend himself but it wasn't a kunai knife instead it was bandages wrapping something. Naruto threw the bandages to Sasuke who caught it easily and began unwrapping when he saw what was concealed he frowned.

"Put it on"

Sasuke twiddled his old headband and broke a smile the first Naruto had seen in years.

"You're kidding right"

"When we first fought you put it on proving you acknowledged me do the same"

"That's true I did last time"

And then with lightning speed he charged at Naruto drawing his sword and infusing it with lightning Chakra slashed at Naruto. Naruto however pulled out a weird Kunai and lashed out giving Sasuke a small cut on his face. Sasuke looked stunned Naruto smirked and showed the kunai to Sasuke

"This kunai is made from the same metal as Asuma sensei's they absorb the user's element Chakra and in case you've forgotten wind beats Lightning"

Sasuke smirked and stood ready to face Naruto and from a distance a figure in a mask stood watching who then said to himself

"It begins"
