Sasuke began by summoning many shurikan and flung it at Naruto who was quick to dodge and retaliated by throwing some kunai to attack Sasuke and block the shurikan attack both efforts were in vain and the area they were standing on was crowded with weapons. Sasuke let out a small smirk and then flung his arms back; the shurikan's rose up and shot at Naruto who had only just noticed the wires. Acting without a moment's hesitation or thought Naruto summoned up a shadow clone that managed to pull him out of the way but quickly disappeared in smoke as the clone was hit with a barrage of knifes. Naruto dusted himself off and spoke

"When we last fought you said that the opponents could tell who would win simply by looking at them well Sasuke can you tell who will win now?!"

Sasuke drew his sword and replied

"I don't need my Sharingan to guess who will win"

And with that he charged at Naruto and preformed some rather complex sword thrusts which Naruto retaliated by bringing out two kunai and just barely each time deflecting a possible critical blow at the last second. Then Sasuke pulled back at lunged at Naruto who jumped back, however Sasuke smirked and released an attack taking Naruto by surprise.

"Chidori Sharp Spear!"

Sasuke's sword utilizing Lightning Chakra extended and pierced Naruto on the left shoulder causing instant numbness but not before sending a sharp pain throughout Naruto's body. Naruto let out a gasp of pain and was smashed in to a wall by the force of his blow. Sasuke walked up to Naruto who was trying to take out the blade but to no avail. Sasuke crouched down next to naruto and squeezed his throat

"See I told you I wouldn't need my Sharingan to win"

And Naruto smirked and exclaimed

"Same old Sasuke constantly underestimating us"

Sasuke frowned and then realized the bit of paper naruto was holding which was starting to smoke. Sasuke instantly realized what it was and jumped away in time to avoid a devastating explosion which blew away all in range. Sasuke then realized Naruto's game he had created a shadow clone when the other clone got hit by the knives but where was the real Naruto?

His question was shortly answered as Naruto screamed from above and connected his fist with Sasuke's jaw sending him into the dirt.

"Well Sasuke? Still think I'm not worthy?"

Sasuke clutched his jaw and glared at Naruto

"You'll pay for that"

Meanwhile back at Konoha, Tsunade had gathered together the remaining rookie nine as well as Team Guy at an assembly.

"You want us to go after Naruto?"

Shikimaru exclaimed, Tsunade replied quite bluntly

"I'm sending you as back up ok you have all been issued this order I expect you can handle it"

Outside the office Neji and Shikimaru talked

"I don't feel right this is not our battle"

"Yeah but orders are orders it's a drag but whatever"

"Do you need time to get ready?"

"Nah ever since the fight with Pein the whole village has hardly had any missions it's been kinda nice being with….."

"With who?"

"Err nothing c'mon let's go"

Shikimaru walked off leaving an annoyed Neji

"That's not fair now I'm really curious"
