Chapter9: not enough
The fight was destructive to say the least. The destruction behind them was amazing to some and horrific to others. Buildings in ruble, fire or simple wiped-out, Anbu operatives scattered on the ground around streets either unconscious or wounded so badly that made them useless in the current situation the Village Hidden in the Rocks was in. Eight shinobi were fighting in the middle of the streets with shinobi around them, some of those shinobi attacking, others unconscious. Three shinobi were fighting on the roofs of some buildings away from the destruction behind them but they weren't noticing that their fights were causing the same if not worse destruction.
"Hehe… what a waste of chakra" Kusamaru said as he lifted himself from the ruble with little to almost no effort while the sshinobi's he was fighting were on the ground with multiple gashes and bruises. "I got's to admit… pretty brave of you trying to kill me like that but alas it didn't work. You know why I got you so easily?... I could sense everything inside the dome and with my already sharp eyes I could've easily killed you… but that wouldn't be fun huh?" he added with a grin that could freeze a lake.
"I'll kill you scumbag" the shinobi with two of his legs broken said forcefully as he tried to crawl to the weird green-pale man, besides him his partner laid unconscious with a bleeding wound on the head.
"Right" Kusamaru said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes and smile knowingly, sidestepping he dodged a kunai that almost beheaded him and grabbed the arm holding the sharp weapon. Looking at the perpetrator he saw the same guy that was on the ground with his head bleeding and it turned out to be a rock clone. The guy had several gashes that if not treated properly and on time was going to bleed to death but had a determined face, right now though he was shocked… and in peril.
"Dammit… die" the shinobi said in a defeated tone hanging his head.
"Almost… but since you wanted me to die I sensed you killing intent ever since you made the switch with the clone" Kusamaru said pointing out the shinobi's faults and he threw him across h ruble and landed at the other one's side. Making a seal the earth ruble that surrounded them roused up and shaped themselves into spikes, smirking he made the spikes charge at the two struggling shinobi. "Pathetic and a waste of time… entertaining though" he said as he walked away from the dead scene, the two shinobi were covered head to toe in spikes, the ground shining in their crimson blood as four Anbu jumped from the scene to intercept the ex-kusa shinobi.
Quick as they could the Anbu closed in on the walking rouge and attacked silently, the four of them appeared in front of him with swords at the ready and before the ex-kusa shinobi could react he felt is body fall to the ground in pieces… before exploding in a cloud of… grass? The next thing they knew was pain…
x.x.x
It was fun the destruction, the look of torment on the enemy's eyes and the look of realization on their faces when they couldn't do anything. Kabuto like the way his two main enemies tried countless time to kill him but failed each time, and the realization in their face was showing. He saw however that one of the shinobi, tired as he was calmly put away his weapon and relaxed while the other smile and did the same and before Kabuto knew it he was thrown back by heavy punches and kicks before crashing in the roof, breaking it and landing on the ground inside the building.
"Hehehehe… that was fun but you greatly underestimated us" one of them said with his arms crossed and glaring at the spot of the fallen enemy with a smirk.
"Seriously… freaking snake-man… I heard someone weird like this guy… Orochimaru was the name, a Sannin, a legend… but this guy… nothing" the other one said mockingly as they both laugh as they saw what was left of the snake-man but the laughter was cut short when they saw… nothing but a mass of skin.
"I believe the term was… underestimation" a cold as ice voice said behind them. Adjusting his glasses he finger flicked them in the back and they instantly flew forward like they were being hit by something stronger… crashing in the building in front of them. Smirking sadistically the snake-man coughed-up his Kusanagi and grabbed it by the hilt and waited for the stupid and arrogant opponents he was supposed to kill.
"What are you" one of them asked wiping a trail of blood from his mouth. He grabbed a handful of kunai and shuriken with both hands and threw them at his seemingly unbeatable opponent who in return blocked them with ease.
"Damn you… ahhhh" the other one who came out of a pile of rubble yelled as he took out a weird cannon like thing from a scroll "You'll die here… Ninja arts: chakra blasting wave" he said as he channeled chakra into the weapon and a surge of chakra came out from the middle of it, destroying the place the Kabuto was standing on with the touch of it.
"Shit he got away" the one with the weapon said as he surveyed the area while the other readied a jutsu. Sensing something above him he looked up and saw… a giant snake peering it's head around the corner. Jumping back and performed the jutsu as the snake reacted to the sudden movement, firing a fireball at the head of the snake he relaxed at the lack of movement from the giant animal.
Terror was written in their faces as the head of the snake came out of the fire calmly, like nothing was happening, the snake opened its mouth and Kabuto came out of it Kusanagi in hand and impaled the shinobi who performed the fire jutsu. The one holding the cannon-like-weapon readied himself as he channeled chakra into the weapon as his partner died and fired at the snake-like-man while he was still taking out his sword from his partner… destroying a majority of the building in the process with the desperate attack.
"Take that… asshole… hehehe" the Iwa shinobi chuckled and laughed as he saw that half of the upper building was gone and he was in a corner on the tenth floor and the building was made out of twelve.
"That attack destroyed my pet" a chilling voice said as the Iwa shinobi paralyzed from fear. A pale hand came into view as the rest of a body came from the shadows "Desperation… fear… you don't know how much I enjoy those feelings on my enemies kukuku" Kabuto laughed as he neared slowly to his last victim who was bleeding in the ground from his own desperate attack.
"Why don't you die" the shinobi said weakly as Kabuto stopped in front of him.
"I can't die you fool… I'm invincible to you" Kabuto said as he grabbed the shinobi by the head and you could hear the screams of agony coming from the building.
x.x.x
The screams could be heard in the battle zone as Doki fought dozens of Anbu with the help of those weird-ass clones as he put it. Glancing at the direction from where the screams were coming from every shinobi knew that the 'victim' was finished. Doki knew that someone from his group was behind that and smirked as he could sense fear in some of the Anbu.
"And they call themselves Anbu… an elite shinobi shouldn't be afraid of death" Doki thought as he saw some of them being knocked off by the clone that was helping him when suddenly he felt something eerie and jumped away as a bolt of lightning hit the spot he was a mere second ago. Smiling softly he saw Inrai coming into view and knew he struck a nerve as he felt the incredible killing intent directed at him.
"Bastard… no one beats me that easily" Inrai said as he charged at Doki with a sword in hand.
"It's about time you fought me with everything you got" Doki said as he made his entire arm sharpen and charged as well. Clashing, the steel sword of Inrai was suddenly charged up with lightning and Doki smiled knowing full well that he'd stand no chance against lightning.
The smile Doki threw him got him by surprise and it scared him for one second but. What really caught Inrai by surprise was that Doki make pike come out of his torso with the intent of plunging him but he jumped away just in time. Shocked he looked at his one time friend and rival and smiled, this was going to be like the old days. Doki smile before charging in predictably and Inrai with his superior speed sliced up the earth-made shinobi quick and easy. A floating earth-hand made a seal and the pieces of earth that were on the earth that weren't on the ground quickly shaped themselves into spike and rocketed at Inrai' direction.
"His control has improved greatly… and I sense a lot of chakra… almost as much as his brother" Inrai thought as he dodged the spikes and made some seals and a shield of lightning surrounded him, successfully destroying the earth attacks. "You've changed… a lot actually" he said directing himself at his long time friend now missing ninja.
"So have you… your speed and agility have improved and seal speed is remarkable" Doki complemented "Still you taijutsu sucked back then… I wonder if there's any difference" he said as he made hundreds of spikes come out of his body making his body look like a walking pin cushion and grinned.
"Shit… that technique… not even his brother is perfect with it" Inrai thought as he tensed knowing full well the risk of the attack. "If the user doesn't balance out his weight and not enough chakra is on the attack the user could die from the stain the body could take or explode if the chakra is too much… the attack requires perfect control"
"Don't worry Inrai… I'm more powerful than ever" Doki said as he jumped and started to roll and went forward at unimaginable speeds… for a rolling ball of rock. Inrai dodged as the rolling ball of doom passed through, the spikes that bulged from it made it even more deadly. Suddenly a spike coming from the rolling boulder landed at his side almost having no time of dodging.
"What the… the speed that spike was thrown, he must be using the momentum but how does he see me straight" Inrai thought as another spike was launched at him, looking closely to watch how did he do that when he saw a face clearly looking at him "No way!!!.... he's face is still while the rest of his body is rolling around… how" he thought in shock as he saw the rolling boulder that was his friend coming to an abrupt stop.
"Hehehe… you seemed shocked" Doki said as he made the spikes more pronounced and ready to attack "You see my clan is thirty years old and derived from another clan of earth stylers, me and my brother are the only ones capable of performing these techniques seeing as the others in the clan are too young or not powerful enough… I have perfected those techniques… shame I'm a missing ninja… a traitor" he added with a sneer "Survive… if you can" as he made the spikes launch from his body going everywhere, taking anyone in their path.
x.x.x
This battle, this invasion was boring; shinobi scattered all around him and still not one among them who could give him a challenge. He remembered the time he left from Suna, a few of his wind using comrades were jealous of his skills and hated him for it, the situation made him uncomfortable and since he was always a man looking to enjoy peace and tranquility he didn't fit. One day they all ambushed him and almost kill him leaving him in the brink of death, awaking in the hospital they said the same people that did that to him brought him in but his mind was made up… even the most peaceful people snap at one point. He broke them one by one, leaving them at their own brink of death some of them useless as shinobi anymore… he left seeing as an Anbu saw him and was about to confront him when he slashed him, a way to stall as he escaped, his mind a wreck.
"I know I'm good… but not all of them possessed a hit of a challenge" Kazuru said shaking his head in disappointment "What do you want creepy one?" he asked the Naruto clone known as Human realm.
"Stop calling me that dammit... this battle is ending… the Anbu battalion is been defeated" Human realm said "I want you and the others to watch my battle… if any doubt of my skill" he said as he disappeared leaving Kazuru there looking confused.
"Crazy clone… so something to do with Naruto and the Tsuchikage… I'll watch that" Kazuru said as he started to walk away "If any doubt huh?... I sensed the power in you since the day we met boy… I have no doubt"
x.x.x
"I guess my comrades finished their respective battles" Naruto thought as he took a chance and looked behind him to see a lot of low chakra signatures and the notable chakra signatures of his comrades. Smiling he saw the shinobis were no dead except of four that he knew were done for if those explosions and screams were correct.
"Why are you smiling?" the Tsuchikage asked "I see your chances very diminishing as my power is far greater than your fellow shinobi" he said as he surged his power.
"To some degree… your brother has almost that amount of chakra, and some in my group are fierce or very sadistic" Naruto said seriously "While you are just ambitious, your power is not stronger than ours…" he was interrupted.
"I'm maybe ambitious but what are you?... you're searching rank and status while also wanting to help the people in the village… you have a busy agenda" the Tsuchikage said chuckling at the stupid ideas of the blonde in front of him.
"Fine… I want respect and a stupid B-rank in the bingo book isn't going to help that… I decided to kill you to increase said rank and help people at the same time… two birds, one stone" Naruo stated smirking as he surged his own power leveling with the Kage.
The Tsuchikage frowned sensing the power the blonde in front of him displayed, the chakra felt weird, like it was surrounding you and it was heavy. Dismissing the thoughts the Tsuchikage transformed his right arm into a blade and charged at the blonde attacker. Naruto saw the emotions on the man's face even if his face was made of steel (ironic?) and smiled, he was getting to him, under his skin, and focusing chakra on his palms he made a wind blade and charged as well. Dashing on the roof of a wide but short building the two power-houses met with a thunderous sound as their blades collided, even if one was made of wind chakra it couldn't penetrate the steel-like-body the Tsuchikage had but the steel one wasn't winning either as the wind blade kept it in place and then they jumped back to have some distance and the Kage made some seals.
"Earth style: Raging Hallway Trap" the steel-man said as pillars of earth roused from the side s of the building, conjoining at the top, trapping Naruto inside. "Hehehe now you're trapped and with nowhere to go… I'll end this fast and easy… consider yourself lucky" he said as he made a seal. Suddenly the walls started to shake a bit and thousands of spikes came out from them, the hallway covered completely by the spikes… even the place were the Tsuchikage was standing.
"I knew you would do something like this… glad I did my jutsu" Naruto said as he calmly walked toward the Kage. "I have all the elemental affinities so I created a lightning shield strong enough to destroy you stupid spikes and keep me safe" the blonde jinchuuriki smirked at the face of total outrage the Tsuchikage was making.
"Impossible to have all elemental chakras" the Tsuchikage said in wonder and then returned to anger "I said you won't come out of here alive" he said as he touched the wall with his pakm and started to fuse with it… fast.
"I won't be fast enough to reach him… I guess I'll bust out of here… literally" Naruto thought with a smirk as he walked forward and with his Rin'negan he saw the Kage getting closer at him and he stopped walking and… waited.
"DIE!!!!" the Tsuchikage yelled as he came out of the wall at Naruto's side with his arm extended and already in a blade shape. Naruto just glanced at the incoming attacked with a bored face and moved so quick to the side that the Kage lost the momentum and hit the wall. Enraged by the stupid childness the blonde-baka was making him do he smirked and made seals but a thunderous voice stopped him.
"Fire style: Dragon Flame Bomb" Naruto yelled as he made the seals and breathed a huge amount of fire, launching it directly to where the Tsuchikage was standing. The Kage looked amazed for only a second, the attack was powerful to say the least, and took the blast square in the chest… or looked like it.
"Stupid boy… what good is a jutsu if you can't hit me with it?" the Tsuchikage said coming out from the ground grinning.
"You are a fool huh?" Naruto said rolling his eyes "I wasn't aiming at you… you were just in the way that's all… look" he said shrugging and pointing behind the taller man
"Huh?" the Tsuchikage wondered as he felt air touch his skin "Air?..." he asked as he glanced behind him to see… destruction. The fire jutsu destroyed the earth hallway and the building that surrounded it, smiling he focused his chakra and spikes came out of his steel-like-body… making him look like a pin cushion. "You'll love this" he assured as he glared at the blonde.
"That doesn't look good" Naruto whispered seriously "He can throw those… he can be a human weapon factory or something even worse" he kept whispering as he saw the chakra points bulging. "What's he doing… his chakra is going haywire" he thought.
"One of my clan's special techniques… I'll kill you for sure" the Tsuchikage said grinning sadistically as he made a small jump forward and started rolling. Creating destruction on his wake the Kage kept rolling, throwing debris everywhere, the roof of the building was almost completely gone.
x.x.x
Lifting himself from the ground he surveyed the area and found no one moving and smiled. Maybe he killed that stuck-up prick but on the other hand he was going to be in a lot of trouble for killing someone when Naruto said not to. The he saw movement and saw a piece of rubble fall to the ground. The area in fact was… creepy. Every building or house in a twenty feet radius was covered in thin, sharp spikes and since the area was covered in building of all shapes and sizes no harm was done outside those twenty feet… except maybe the one he was fighting.
"Don't get so cocky… I'm not dead yet" Inrai said between breaths as he got behind Doki holding a sword at his neck. "Nice attack… too bad my chakra is that of lightning" he added with a smile but it turned to frown as he felt the ground tremble a bit and saw his opponent rise at the other end of the area.
"Impressive… you survived" Doki said laughing as he turned to his left as he sensed something he didn't like. "It can't be… he couldn't be using that technique" he whispered and jumped off.
"Wait dammit" Inrai said as he jumped after him. He also could sense the disturbing chakra that surrounded the area they were heading "That chakra is unmistakable… the Tsuchikage… that bastard is doing the same technique that Doki did a few moments ago" he thought miserably.
"Shit… he hasn't perfected it yet… his chakra is misbalance... he'll kill himself or blow us all" Doki said in slight panic. "Naruto… you're fighting one crazy guy… end it now" he thought as hept jumping through the roofs and saw one messed-up area. The buildings were destroyed as the raging spiked ball kept rolling around trying to kill the blonde enigma who was dodging the attacking spike-ball halfheartily.
"Damn… he's using that technique" Inrai says as he lands at Doki's side "He'll kill us all" he whispers to himself but Doki still heard him.
"No… our leader, Naruto, is stronger than this, in fact he's stronger than me, brother and you combined… he's just playing around" Doki says with a smile as he kept watching the fight "He knows where to hit… but brothers ability makes it difficult"
"Stronger that you, your brother and me?" Inrai says in shock "What is he then… a God?" he asked in wonder, there was no way that guy could be that powerful, the Tsuchikage alone has an incredible amount of chakra combining it with Doki's and his own… just impossible.
"Not a God… just powerful even for a shinobi" Doki says as he watches his brother doing the unthinkable… firing all the spikes in his body… everywhere "MOVE!!!!!"
x.x.x
The fight was starting to get boring, if it wasn't for the metal body he would've ended it a while ago but he showed that he had some tricks… pretty dangerous tricks. The rolling spike-ball was impressive but way to slow and even more easy o dodge, the throwing spikes while rollig was also impressive but he threw them like he didn't know where his opponent was so it was rather stupid if you ask me. Naruto looked bored out of his mind and was tempted to do a very powerful fire jutsu just to melt the stupid man… but he got to admit the guy had som impressive chakra capacity.
"He has a steady flow of chakra to maintain that ability of his working… got to say a 30% of his chakra has already been used" Naruto thought as he watched the coils with his rippled eyes. He then saw something he didn't like… the Tsuchikage stopped and grinned a sadistic one before all of the spikes on his body were a bit thinner and shot them off.
"HAHAHAHA!!!!" the Tsuchikage laughed as the spikes shot off to every direction. The scattering spikes flew everywhere and every shinobi in the area ran to hide not wanting to test their luck by stopping the incredible sharp projectiles.
Doki dashed to where Inrai was standing and knew the injuries on the man and also knew that in that condition he wouldn't escape in time. Grabbing him he jumped backwards to at least dodge a few of them in time. Kazuru jumped away and took out his swords and started repelling the metal spikes that came his way. Kabuto started to dance?... or seemed like it to someone who didn't knew him well, he dodged the spikes with such precision and the legendary agility his deceased master was known for. Kusamaru for his part fuse with the ground and went out of the line of fire without a scratch (lucky SOB). The area was covered in nothing… the spikes, thin and metallic passed through the near buildings and landed in a fifthy feet radius away from the battle zone.
"That was fun" the Tsuchikage said as he looked everywhere for any signs of the blonde "Hehehe I told him he would die… huh?" he said as he heard two yells… same voice.
"Fire style: Fireball" as a medium size fire ball came into view going directly at the Kage.
"Wind style: Cyclone Blow" a compressed wind blast came from a nearby building. "Asshole... he almost destryed half the village plus I almost couldn't get away, had to dodge or block... some technique and in the wrong hands could be catastrophic" Naruto thought as he watched his two jutsus about to form a deathly combination.
The two techniques collided with each other and the wind attack came out of the fire with more intensity and deathliness. Not having time to move as the technique he used took a lot out of him he stood there as the attack hit the mark and exploded at contact. Naruto came out of the building with a smirk as he saw the burning remains of the attack, he was worried that people were going to get hit by the attack the dumbass threw but thankfully no one got hurt. Seeing movement at the fire he saw the Tsuchikage standing in all his glory and then he saw something that made his blood run cold… Doki was running towards his brother with a scroll in hand.
"AHHHH" Doki yelled as he unrolled the scroll and summoned a big hammer; throwing the scroll away he grabbed the hammer and channeled some chakra into it "Brother… I'll end this now" he said as he charged in and attacked his brother looked on in wonderment. Doki twirled his hammer and hit his brother in the chest and sent him crashing to the ground, skidding, destroying a wall of a building. Smiling at his doing his smile got wider as he saw the damage, the Kage's body was broken, in shards in some parts but unharmed in others but the smile didn't last since the Tsuchikage was getting up slowly… his body repairing itself.
"Incredible… that weapon… all along you've had it" the Tsuchikage said as he stumbled forward with a smirk "But even with that powerful aid… you're no match" he said as he closed in on Doki in a speed no one could've predicted and grabbed the hammer an kicked his brother out of the way, sending him towards a pile of rubble. "Hahahaha… with this in my hands… huh?" he asked as he felt electricity surging through his body, looking down he saw Inrai gripping the handle of the hammer and channeling his lightning chakra into it. "Fool…. Eeven if my body is made of metal, electricity won't affect me" he said as he punched Inrai in the face sending him crashing in to a building.
"Give me back that hammer brother" Doki said as he got into a fighting stance but saw a bit too late the same hammer he was asking for heading straight at him at incredible speeds. The hammer hit him in the chest, sending him backwards plus his earth-made body almost exploding because of the force it was thrown.
"You did want it back… hehehe" the Tsuchikage said chuckling and went to retrieve the weapon when he saw the blonde shinobi he was fighting before land in front of his brother.
"You'll not take another step or I'll be force to kill you quickly" Naruto said emotionlessly and coldly. Giving off a huge killing intent Naruto walked forward intently to fight to the death and to protect a friend.
"If it was that easy… why didn't you kill me sooner?" the Tsuchikage teased chuckling as he felt the killing intent but knew that it was just show. "Nothing can penetrate my defense" he stated.
"I heard that once before"Naruto said as he made as he clasped his hands together "Wind style: Great Expulsing Breakthrough" as he made a signal-like-gesture with of his fingers upward (think nappa from dbz). Concentrated air that was around the area suddenly got very heavy and expanded everywhere with such fiercing force that the buildings and houses in the area were being blown away. As the destructive winds died the area looked worse than anywhere in the village, rubble, the houses or buildings had nothing but pieces of walls or the occasional nothing... nothing was left at some places. The attack was an improved version of the original but instead of focusing on one spot it concentrated all around.
Naruto stood in the middle of it all with a calm, serious, cold and emotionless face. Opening his eyes he saw the destruction he case and a flicker of sadness and regret showed because as he said before… no killing and he definitely killed a few with that attack. The attack wiped-out a fifty meter radius all around him, houses and buildings and the unconscious shinobi that where near the area got blasted away from the force of the attack. Naruto sensed six people coming to his side: all of his 'Realm clones' landed in front of him, taking the same scroll from where he summoned them he absorbed all the chakra he gave them and they fell to the ground… useless. Sealing them in the scroll he felt the surge of chakra as it coursed through his coils, the chakra wasn't much since they beat the crap out of the entire village and even if they did only one ability they used a lot of chakra.
"Whew… that was something" Naruto said as he gathered his scroll and dropped it inside his pouch. Hearing something drop he felt the ground shake violently and jumped away. From the spot where Naruto was standing came the Tsuchikage bursting from the ground, gazing quickly to where he saw the blonde jump he created a few spike on his arms and swung, launching the spikes to the jinchuuriki.
"Look at what you did!" the Tsuchikage exclaimed as he looked around at the destruction "You came here and you think you can beat me this easy… no even that attack that Konoha receive a few years ago could destroy me" he said with a sneer but he knew that he use a lot of chakra to come out alive from that attack but the thing he didn't know was that the man in front of him knew that as well.
"I know you have little to no chakra… that's why you chose the earth body again" Naruto said as he observed the earth spike that landed on the ground "I'll kill you now" he said as he charged at the desperate man in front. Appearing suddenly behind him Naruto channeled chakra into his palm and struck where his heart should be… PANG! It felt like… steel, cracking, the earth slowly fell apart and a solid steel body was replaced.
"Fooled you… I made an earth shield around my steel body to trick you and for you to fall to my trap" the Tsuchikage smirked as he saw the blonde shinobi squirmed silently his broken arm. Turning to the blonde he punched him in the face sending him flying and crashing to the ground, jumping after him he landed on top of him with a kick on his fallen body. Smiling at his accomplishment he was suddenly grabbed by the ankle and brought down to the ground and then… explosion.
"Nice punch… not enough though" Naruto said as he wiped a trail of blood from his mouth, his noticed his vision was clearer and knew that his shades where gone "You're gonna pay for breaking the shades man" he threatened as he saw the struggling figure of the Kage.
"What the hell was that!?" the Tsuchikage said/questioned as he got out of the ground with a bit of difficulty. "You don't die huh?... I gave you a hit powerful enough to break boulders and you're standing there like nothing happened" he said and suddenly he backed away from fear.
"The attack I hit you with was a Rasengan" Naruto said as he formed it in his hand and looked at the Kage "What?" he asked as he saw the look of terror in his face.
"Those eyes and now that technique… what are you?" the Tsuchikage asked in defeated sorrow as he faced the impossible which he started to figure out just now.
"I told you… I'm your destiny" Naruto said coldly as the Rasengan began to spin more rapidly and the wind around it began to mend with it "Wind style: Rasengan" he said as he charge forward with the death sphere in his hand so fast the Kage was left defenseless. Connecting with the metallic body the spinning sphere wasn't making much but then a dent then slowly the body began to move backwards and… BOOM!!! The explosion was incredible; debris flying everywhere, Naruto came out shielding his eyes as the dust was heavy. The damage on his opponent was awful, the metal body was bent or cracked, even completely gone as the body of the Tsuchikage laid there motionless.
Sensing the other coming at the scene Naruto masked the pained expression he always had when killing someone over something foolish but at the same time he couldn't care less since the fallen man killed innocents to get where he was. Landing at his leader's side the shinobi saw the total destruction the blonde had caused, no doubt a powerful jutsu seeing as they sensed his chakra flare a moment ago. Doki was walking well enough but his chakra was almost in 30%. Kusamaru almost died below the ground as the ground shook and he almost got trapped as the earth shifted. Kabuto was fine if a bit dirty when a building almost collapsed on top of him and Kazuru had a bleeding shoulder and a gash on his leg but otherwise fine. Kabuto ran over a few medical jutsu on them and they were fine until tomorrow… it was going to be sore.
"It's a shame to have died like that… brother" Doki thought as he looked at the form of his brother but then he widened his eyes "Guys… keep a sharp eye… something isn't right" he said as he felt something eerie.
Smiling a small smile Naruto channeled some wind chakra into his right palm and turned around and made a jab. Standing in the receiving end of Naruto's attack was the Tsuchikage, steel body and all but this time Naruto's palm, infused with wind chakra, pierced his heart and the steel was coming off… returning to normal.
"Not enough Tsuchikage…. Not enough" Naruto thought with a smile "You tried though" as the body of the Kage felled to the ground. Doki came from his side and transformed his arm into a blade and pierced his skull.
"Stay dead" Doki said coldly as his arm returned to normal.
"Well guys… good job" Naruto said with a smile "Kabuto, you sealed the bodies into the scroll?" he asked to the glasses-wearing medic as he collected the dead body of the Kage.
"Yes… let me seal that one for you" Kabuto said as he took out a scroll "By the way… we're going to have a large bounty after this and get S-rank status… but a large amount of money is in this scroll" he said pointing to the scroll.
"We better get going… I got distracted at one point in the fight… I heard some familiar voice in the horizon and we don't want to be in this condition" Naruto said as he disappeared in a puff of smoke as well as the others leaving behind destruction and a couple of deaths. The Village Hidden in the Rocks wouldn't be the same…
X.X.X
Earth country's border
They were following the trail of chakra that the Sharingan and Byakugan had seen almost a day ago plus the noses of the ninja hound and it's master picked-up a rather… familiar scent they haven't smelled in years. The hope was in their eyes… well in some of them, Kiba couldn't, for the life of him, grasp the simple concept of jail and jailor and simply saw Naruto as a freak (better than a monster some say). Shino thought rationally and knew that Naruto was suffering but also he never thought of him as anything much before saving the village from Pein and he was ashamed. Yamato trained the boy for a while and actually liked the kid, his power and talent was amazing and was ashamed of the village for what they've done. Sakura was sorry to actually abandon the knucklehead to see if Sasuke was glad he was back and to see his interrogations but never in that month of Naruto-less she even thought of him. Kakashi was glad his trail was found but was preoccupied by those other scents that were with it, he had a bad feeling they weren't welcome in the boy's life anymore. Sasuke kept looking at the sky, seeing the chakra trail getting a bit stronger as they neared at the village but at the back of his mind he was glad the dobe was on track… he was itching for a fight and he got the feeling he was going to give it to them. Hinata on the other hand was having doubts about seeing him again, her old shyness returning, steeling herself she kept watch for attackers and the chakra in the air, she somehow knew it was Naruto's and her hopes soared as the scent was picked-up a few hours ago.
"Naruto-kun… I hope you can forgive us and that you're okay" Hinata thought as the teams headed for a mountain side, the scent leading them, guiding them, making them stronger.
"This is weird… the scent is very strong in here but then it moves towards… there" Kiba said as he pointed to the village over the cliff and everyone gasps. Smoke rising, the walls cracked, the feeling of total defeat was surrounding it… it looked dead.
"That can't be the Hidden Rock… that village is almost as powerful as the Leaf" Kakashi said as he stared in shock at the ruins, he could sense chakra coming from it, people were alive but the village had been defeated.
"We should go and… ask around" Sasuke said without emotion as he watch the destruction.
"Sure I'll go with you… Kiba stay here with Yamato, Hinata and Sakura… Shino come with us" Kakashi said as the bug user joined them and left to gather information at the village.
"I don't like that idea… Naruto's scent is going that way… and that place gives me a bad feeling" Kiba said as looked to the once incredible village, now in the brink of destruction.
"Hinata… keep track of them" Yamato ordered as he got worried "Iwagakure isn't a safe haven for us leaf shinobi" he said as they thought about the war they read in books.
"Naruto-kun… please be safe" Hinata thought as she saw her comrades rush through the wood in the direction of the village.

Wow that was the longest chapter of all… I hope I didn't failed your expectation on killing the Kage but I wanted to do it now. Naruto seemed a bit cold… but that is his personality against tyrants. Just wait until he meets his 'friends' again. XD That manga just had to wait huh? I wanted to see the long awaited skills of Naruto but DAMN!!! REVIEW PLZ
