Chapter8: if there was a doubt
"Tsuchikage… your village is weak" Naruto said in a taunting manner as he smiled at the leader of the village and his companions knew that hell was going to brake lose.
Naruto's companion, except his clones, looked at the blonde enigma like he was crazy. The amount of high level shinobi present in front of the tower was astounding and there he was taunting one of the most powerful ninjas of the world. Everyone tensed up after hearing that comment, the Iwa Anbu knew how high the temper of their leader could be, while the group of rouge ninjas tensed up because the enemy could attack any moment.
"YOU DARE!!!" the Tsuchikage roared with such killer intent that some Anbu tumbled to the ground cause their knees gave out. The group of missing ninjas just stood there like nothing was happening; the killing intent wasn't anything special compared to other opponents.
"I do… you're shinobi got beaten way too easily and you don't seem very powerful either" Naruto said calmly and found a big hand on his shoulder, looking up he saw Doki shaking his head.
"Don't provoke him Naruto… the ones with my blood-line can level cities with the right amount of power of course… and he has the amount" Doki said a bit worried as he looked at the tower and focused intently on the Tsuchikage.
"You seem to know a bit about him Doki" Naruto stated and heard a loud yell that echoed around the entire village.
"BROTHER!... HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME LIKE THIS… FIRST YOU LEAVE AND NOW THIS" the Tsuchikage bellowed with intensity he saw the big figure of Doki moving forward but a kunai struck in front of him and saw one of his shinobi in front of him. Behind Doki everyone was shocked to know that the Tsuchikage was Doki's brother.
"Don't come any closer" the shinobi said to Doki as he stood with an air of superiority.
"Don't make me laugh" Doki said not interested in the ninja at all. "Your ways of doing things are wrong and that's why we're here… to free this land of you" Doki said focusing yet again on the leader of the village.
"Right… and how are you gong to do that?" the Tsuchikage said in a sarcastic tone "Last time we fought you were eating dirt" he chuckled as well as all the shinobi present.
"Oh I'm not the one fighting you… it would be a waist of time" Doki said dismissively while the Iwa Anbu stopped laughing and the Tsuchikage looked confused.
"I will" Naruto said coming to stand next to Doki.
"You?... I've seen you before… missing ninja from Konoha… a B-rank threat… what could you possibly do to harm me?" the Tsuchikage asked mockingly and felt the sneers of his shinobi's as well.
"You'll learn to respect me… and not to underestimate me" Naruto said coldly and released a killer intent so powerful that almost everyone choked and even the Tsuchikage and his guards were on one knee.
"What is he?" the Tsuchikage thought in slight panic, never in his life he had sensed someone this powerful "I have to do something fast or he'll kill me in an instant"
"Nothing can save you… your punishment begins now" Naruto said as he stepped forward and the shinobi in front of them attacked but Doki interfered, blocking kunai against kunai. Naruto made a signal with his arm and the six realm clones sprang into action, meeting with the Anbu. Landing at his sides, Kabuto and Kusamaru ready to take care of the guards to leave Naruto a clear path.

Kazuru made his way calmly to the field were the confusing but thrilling action was taking place. Anbu's were already knocked down; grabbing his sword he readied himself for the incoming three black ops. Smirking he channeled chakra in the swords and cut their weapons like a knife through butter, before knocking them down with a slash deep enough to rendered them useless. Looking around he saw the clone beating the Anbu like nothing and meant to ask why and how later.
"This is boring… and they call themselves Anbu" Kazuru stated a bit embarrassed at the performance of the elite shinobi of the village. Sensing someone behind him he quickly attacked but was blocked and bit overwhelmed at the sight of a flaming sword.
"Come one rogue… test your abilities with this" the mysterious shinobi said in a taunt/mocking voice gesturing his flaming sword.
"It's almost impossible… but he has a guide to channel his fire chakra, making his sword surround with fire… but he's channeling a lot to actually make the fire visible" Kazuru thought a bit impressed that a challenged came. Smirking he channeled chakra into his sword and lounged forward to meet with the shinobi, clashing swords and actually making the fire stronger with the wind surrounding his swords.
The Iwa shinobi smirked and grabbed the two swords with both hand and made a seal while holding them. An average size fireball shot from the tip of the sword and made his way to where Kazuru was standing. Smirking a bit the wind user fanned both his sword at the incoming flaming ball and instantly the fire grew dramatically, the Iwa shinobi shook his head not believing how stupid the fellow swordsman was. Suddenly he sensed something and lifted his right arm to block the incoming blade that almost beheaded him, raising his head a bit he saw the swordsman grinning manically at him.
Kazuru couldn't believe that the shinobi that he was fighting was so dumb. A shinobi no matter what let his guard down… the guy could consider himself luck that he slowed down a bit and was told not to kill. As they clashed yet again the wind user found a small opening and use it he was, kicking the fire user in the knee and following with another kick in the face he sent flying his pathetic to a boulder… crashing it.
"You're a fool… those swords don't deserve someone like you who thinks that because I looked like I was being consumed by fire doesn't mean I was" Kazuru said annoyingly as he sheathed his sword and began to look for a more interesting opponent to waste his time.

Doki wasn't having a good time the man in front of him was an old teammate of his from his genin days and it seems that he hasn't change from the 'I'm everything your not' faze. Narrowing his eyes he knew the guy, even if he was full of him self, he was powerful and that deserved a little respect, pushing him off and aiming a kick to the other head but was blocked and saw a punch on his way. Grabbing the fist while smirking, he widened his eyes when he was electrocuted and thrown a few meters back by the shock and the blow. Taking time to get up he saw that the ninja, who's name was Inrai, already at his feet and making seal for a jutsu, not wanting to be taken by surprise he activate his kekei-genkai and turned himself into rock. Suddenly lightning came from Inrai's hand and struck Doki right in the chest making him explode, debris flying everywhere.
"I guess you were still weak" Inrai said coldly and began to walk away and found a pale looking blonde near him and went to attack. He couldn't believe that one person could beat so many ninjas especially Anbu. He was about to attack when something grabbed him by the throat from behind almost squishing the life out of him.
"Inrai you fool… you think I would come here again without something up my sleeves?" Doki said half his face was gone and had no left arm. "The terror in your face will give me joy for a long time" he chuckled manically as he threw Inrai to a near by house.
"How did you survive?" Inrai said coming out tumbling from the house and set his face in horror mode. Doki was regenerating himself; his only guess was that he was absorbing the earth around him to make himself another body… not even the Tsuchikage was able to do that.
"I see you've figure out my ability… but I'll explain it to you… my ability make me turn every particle of my body into rock (even organs) but my new ability lets me move my heart (weak point) to anyplace I want so that I can't be killed so quickly" Doki said proud of mastering his kekei-genkai to such a level.
"Dammit… I have to figure where did he put his heart" Inrai thought as he made hand-signs but was interrupted when a sharp rock almost pierced him "It's no good that he can make any weapon he want with his abilities" he thought as he saw the sharp rock retreated to the big man.
"You don't seem to understand… the only one that could beat me is the blonde that I'm accompanying" Doki said as he grinned at the furious face his ex-teammate made.

Making their way through the battle even if they weren't fighting was going to be difficult. The amount of shinobi attacking was phenomenal and even if they were distracted by the obvious chaos around them the could still spot them… and be pests. Not caring about any of that the three missing ninjas made their way to the tower and kill those on top of it, three Anbu suddenly jumped in front of them but they didn't stop, they were so fast the Anbu almost didn't saw them and when they tried to run after them they found someone was holding them.
Naruto kept his gaze fixed on the Tsuchikage and his guards because they looked like they wanted to escape… but there's no escape once the 'Sage' got a lock on you. Suddenly the three of them had to jump to the right to dodge a volley of kunai and the three ex-shinobi found themselves surrounded by the Tsuchikage, his guards and five Anbu. Managing the menacing look all of them radiated danger… for a normal shinobi it woud've worked, too bad for them the three of them weren't normal.
"We have you now… rouge" the Tsuchikage said in a booming voice just like Doki only graver "What I wish to know is why you're targeting me before I kill you" he added with a sneer and a glare that could freeze any normal ninja.
"Tsuchikage" Naruto said politely nodding his head in recognition "You don't know why I'm here?" he questioned with a bit of confusion. "Hmmm… I though it was obvious when you killed the previous Tsuchikage, the council members that opposed you and almost extiguised you clan because they didn't like you way of doing things" the blonde power-house said in a disguted face.
"You dare to tell such lies" the Tsuchikage almost yelled in slight panic, the Anbu nearby were hearing this and he wasn't likening it. "Who ever told you those lies…" he was interrupted by Naruto's powerful voice.
"LIES!!!... everything about you, everything you do screams of deception… those weren't lies because your brother fled the village because you almost killed him and he told everything to me" Naruto said flaring his chakra daring anyone to say otherwise. Sending a signal to Kabuto and Kusamaru both of them sprang into action taking away the guards and leaving the Kage and the Anbu behind. "It's a good thing I implanted those seals into their heads" he thought smiling.

Kusamaru pushed the two guard members he chose between two buildings and made a few hand-seals "Earth style: Raising Terra Dome" as pillars as tall as the buildings around them rosed up in five meter perimeter circle. The pillars bended a little at the top to give form to the dome and as all of this occurred the two Iwa shinobi hadn't even touched the ground. Kusamaru grinned showing his pointed teeth to his opponents as they looked around in panic, seen as they found themselves with no escape from the place… except underground. One of the shinobi was already fusing with the ground while the other prepared another jutsu when they heard chuckling.
"You fools… there's no escape from this dome" a grave, raspy, cold voice vibrated throughout the dome "I can travel at unimaginable speeds… you're as good as dead" when that last sentence finished the ground where the shinobi was fusing exploded and the shinobi gave a loud yell of pain. The other shinobi jumped into the air and yelled "Fire style: Fireball" and breathed out a huge ball of fire directing it towards his enemy and partner. Kusamaru, seeing the attack grinned as he fused with the ground and the Iwa shinobi tried to get away as fast as he could with both his legs broken… BOOM!
"YOU ASSHOLE!!! I ALMOST GOT FRIED" the scrambling shinobi yelled to his partner as he let out a grunt of pain as well.
"If you weren't so weak… you wouldn't be in that situation" the other said rather coldly as he concentrated to find the rouge in the total darkness he left them. He noticed that the only way out was below but seeing his partner in pain after he tried left that option out. The only option left was to destroy the entire dome.
"Hehehehe… fighting among yourselves tsk, tsk… hahahaha" the cold chilling laughter resonated throughout the dome "But seriously your partner is right you are weak… but at the same time the other one is an asshole… you shortened out your oxygen with that fire" the voice said in a scolding manner before chuckling again.
"That's enough… I'll get out of this pathetic place and killing you in the process" the shinobi said as he made hand-signs and began "Earth styl gyawww" the shinobi spluttered as he tried to remove the arm that was slowly and effectively crushing his neck. He could only feel, he could feel the pain and the satisfaction his pain was giving his enemy, he could feel he was enjoying this and he could feel this was his end…
"Earth style: Rock Lodging Destruction" as the yell was heard throughout the dome they also heard two soft sound apparently his hands against the ground and a tremendous surge of chakra. The sound of cracking reached everyone's ears as the walls began to break and the next thing they knew… rock was falling on them waiting to crush something.

Kabuto chuckled evilly as he saw the huge dome forming knowing that no one that goes through there never got out alive. He on the other hand jumped about four building to give space for Naruto to… manifest. He grinned a bit as he saw the two shinobi tried to cornered him but he couldn't be cornered as one stood in his front and the other one in the back. He saw them move and knew this wasn't going to be fun… but he would make it so.
"I'll scare them for a while" Kabuto thought sadistically as he positioned himself so he could see them both. He saw one of them bring out a blade from his sleeve and rushed to attack "Man they're hopeless" he thought as he blocked the attack by grabbing the guy's foream strongly he was about to grin when he saw he was surrounded by water.
"Water style: water stream" the other shinobi said as a stream of water flew out of his mouth and went to the enemy "Water style: Crushing twister" as the water that was at Kabutos feet suddenly swirled and lifted forming a six feet tall twister made of water around Kabuto's body leaving only his arm out to not kill his comrade. Making a seal the water suddenly imploded, crushing the person inside.
"What the hell!?" the shinobi exclaimed as the grasp around his forearm didn't waver and when the water collapsed to the ground both of them saw something that shocked them to the bone. Kabuto stood there with his body practically crushed, knees bent in odd angles as well as the elbows and shoulders, his neck was in a 180 but still his face held the grin, the sadistic, evil grin that showed how much he was enjoying this.
"Kukuku… don't be so shocked… is obvious I won't be easy" Kabuto chuckled and he shifted his gaze to the one that he had grabbed and grinned. His arm transformed into a snake that quickly wrapped his form on the shinobi's arm and went to bit his neck but was stopped by the shinobi who grabbed it by the head and crushed it quickly.
To add to the two Iwa shinobi's shock Kabuto grinned even more sadistically and opened his mouth to an inhuman size… two hands come out stretching even further and a new, completely healed Kabuto emerged. Kabuto kicked the near shinobi square in the chest sending him to a building wall and quickly rushed to the other who was making hand-seal but was stop short when he saw the snake like man right on his face. The shinobi was sent away backwards until he crashed in a wall by a punch thrown half-heartily by Kabuto.
The man who longed to surpass his former master grinned at the easy challenge that the two ninja where presenting. He grinned as well for he knew that this was going to be a fun day.

The two stared at each other, glaring, giving off as much killing intent as possible which was so much it suffocated the people around them. Blue eyes met dark brown as one stared coldly and indifferent while the other stared impatiently. Suddenly the Tsuchikage made a move so quick and so precise that almost Naruto got hit by four kunais if he didn't jump back. Naruto drawed a single shuriken and tossed it as he made a seal crating thousands of them, the Tsuchikage made a few seal and a wall of rock got in the way blocking the weapons.
"If you don't know the pretext… you're going to need a lot more than that to kill me" the Tsuchikage said as he flickered to the blonde man and raised a fist.
"You should ask yourself if you deserve anything better" Naruto said calmly as he sensed the Kage behind him and ready to attack. Naruto smirked as he concentrated the air around him and when the fist was going to connect his head… it stopped and repulsed the fist and the man holding it altogether. The village leader was pushed back but flipped and landed securely in the rooftop of the building and narrowed his eyes at the blonde.
"What the hell was that?" he asked a bit winded (ironic) "You used wind… like a shield around you and then expanded it" he stated trying to comprehend what just happened.
"Very good" Naruto said nodding at the taller man "You are worthy of being a Kage… but at the same time you don't because of your actions" he stated coldly as he looked at the man indifferently.
"You don't know what you're in for" the Tsuchikage said as he dropped to the ground as already his body was stone. "You think because you can defeat my brother you can kill me… I'll kill you for that mistake" he laughed evilly.
"Do you know why I brought my team with me?" Naruto asked as he looked at the Kage "I brought them to see me upgrade my rank… and if there was a doubt about my skill" the blonde said as he gathered chakra.
Naruto suddenly appeared in front of him and punched the Kage in the gut, shocking him. To the blonde jinchuuriki's surprise the Tsuchikage didn't move from the spot and clutched his hand in obvious pain… it felt like punching a steel bar. Hearing laughter he locked eyes with the Kage and almost gasped, his body looked darker… and shone??? Fixing his gaze to where he hit the man, it looked bended not cracked and saw the bend fix it self.
"It must be the same technique but a bit different" Naruto thought as he opened and closed his hand in rapid succession to regain the feeling back
"Hahaha I guess you found out the hard way" the Tsuchikage "My brother has a different effect… while I… can make my body as hard as steel" he said as his whole arm turned into a sharp blade and rushed forward.
"I guess I can waste a bit of chakra on this guy" Naruto whispered smirking as the metal-made shinobi rushed to him confident on his victory.

Forest
The tension among the teams was obvious since that little outbreak a few hours ago, whether to look in the eyes or completely ignore each other the two teams weren't in a good mood. Waking a in the dawn and going nonstop at full speed until a little break at noon, the shinobi in this mission wanted no more than to finish it. Hinata got a signal from her leader to check out for any inconvenience around the forest and that's how she became aware of something exciting and at the same time terrifying.
"Kakashi-sempai… I can see a faint line of smoke at the distance exactly in the same direction we're going" Hinata said reporting what she saw with her Byakugan.
"There's also chakra in that direction… a huge amount to actually be visible at two days away from the village it self" Sasuke said landing behind her but very separately the tension between them clearly noticeable.
"Humm… something's off… when rest when we reach the border… and that's a half a day away from the actual village" Kakashi said signaling them to take action "If we make haste we can manage to shorten a day of distance in a few hours… leaving us at the border at the dead of night… GO!!!" the platoon jumped to the trees at fast speeds. The chakra Sasuke saw bothered the masked jounin a lot since no one on the five nations had that much chakra… not even Naruto. But he hadn't seen the unpredictable blonde in three years… maybe just maybe…
