Kurumi: WAAH! WHERE IS MASTER?!
Kiba: Man tits, calm down.
Kurumi: (punches Kiba in the face) ONLY MASTER CAN CALL ME THAT!
Kiba: (rubs face) I'll take that into account…
Kurumi: Why are you here anyways bub?
Kiba: I'm here since Naruto asked me this favor as he still preparing for his big fight.
Kurumi: (sigh) Master doesn't want to be around me anymore, does he?
Kiba: (smirks and puts his arm around Kurumi) Forgot about him babe. There are better fish out there. Like me.
Kurumi: (smashes Kiba's skull in) WHAT DID I SAY? ONLY MY MASTER CAN CALL ME THOSE NAMES!
Kiba: (Groans in pain) Just introduce the chapter.
Kurumi: Oh yeah! Here is the next chapter of Steel Angels and a Blonde, The Valley of the End. Go fight and win master!
"Answer me Sasuke! Why are you doing this?!" Naruto screamed out as Sasuke did not answer his statement before.
"I thought the answer would be simple dobe." Sasuke finally spoke as he continued facing the other way as he stood on Uchiha Madara's statue.
Growling from his throat, Naruto's eyes flashed red as Kyuubi's chakra began to slowly enter his system. He could not believe Sasuke was abandoning the village for such a simple reason. "Sasuke… You are a fool then. You will not obtain true power this way."
Sasuke clinched his fist as anger began to flood him hearing Naruto's words. Turning back, he allowed Naruto a look at his face showing his half transformed face with a golden eye. "You will never understand what that man did to me on that day. This is the only way for me!"
Naruto nearly jumped back as he saw Sasuke's face and was instantly on guard. He had already learned of the curse seal seeing him use it a few times, but now this was something different altogether. Regaining his confidence, Naruto narrowed his eyes as he looked over at the rogue Uchiha. "You are right… I don't understand what he did, but I do understand that you're willing to throw everything away just for a lie!"
Before Sasuke could react, Naruto leapt towards him and slammed his fist into his face, knocking him into the statue. Standing over him, he picked Sasuke up by the collar and stared him in the eyes as rage coursed through his veins. "There are people that care for you back home and would do anything for you! They should matter more then anything else as true strength comes through the want to protect, not the desire to get revenge! No matter what you'll do, he is going to be stronger then you until you realize that!"
Sasuke looked at him blankly before a deep growl erupted from his throat before he pushed Naruto off him as if he was nothing as his curse seal activated and the black marks spread across his body. With Naruto off balance, Sasuke quickly took the opportunity to strike and slammed his fist into Naruto's stomach.
Naruto gasped in pain before Sasuke back handed him and knocked him off the statue. He was lucky as he fell onto a small stretch of flat land otherwise he would have fallen more then a hundred feet. Picking himself up, he saw a few kunai go by him harmlessly before he noticed wires around him and slam him into a rock behind him keeping him from moving.
He struggled against the wires, but it was no use. Then to his horror he heard the name of a very powerful fire jutsu coming from Sasuke. "Katon: Ryuka!"
Gritting his teeth as he watched flames running down the wires towards him, Naruto continued trying to overpower the wires but it was of no use as the flames were almost on him. A sudden power surged through him on his last attempt and the wires snapped and he was able to avoid the dragon flame as he jumped over the flames.
Heading straight towards the renegade Uchiha, Naruto's eyes widened as Sasuke suddenly disappeared from his sight before he felt a fist drive into his stomach and knocking him off the cliff. To his luck, he landed in the water but that is where his luck stopped as Sasuke had came down after him and his hands were in the Tora seal. "Katon: Hosenka!"
Naruto had no chance at dodging the vast amount of fireballs spewed from the Uchiha's mouth. Each one connected and forced Naruto to put his arms up in defense even if it didn't do much for protecting him being burned.
As the fireballs ended and Naruto was on one knee, Sasuke reined his curse seal back in. 'This isn't even a fight with the seal activated. Hmp, I'll just finish this now with my own power.'
Soon as that thought crossed his head, Naruto had recovered forcing him to jump onto the statue. The blonde raced up the statue heading straight for him allowing him no time to activate the technique he had in mind to finish the fight. Catching the fist to his face, he threw one towards Naruto only for the blonde to catch his fist. A smirk crossed Sasuke's fist as he knew now Naruto was ready to fight.
"Finally the real you has showed up. Now we can continue our battle without any interruptions." Sasuke said with a smirk on his face before letting the chakra from his feet fade and falling off the statue. As he did, he managed to steal a kunai from Naruto's pouch and throw it up at Naruto. "And this time, I'll win!"
Naruto was taken back by Sasuke's words but he still intercepted the kunai thrown at him with a shuriken. However, this was a feint on Sasuke's part as he appeared in front of Naruto and kicked him off the statue before jumping near the water fall and going through five hand seals. Putting his left hand in front of him and gripping his wrist with his other hand, lighting sparked from his palm and ignited. "Chidori!"
Soon as that one word echoed through Naruto's ears, he grimaced as he created a shadow clone to help form his strongest attack. As the spiraling ball of chakra began to take shape, Sasuke charged, heading straight for him. Naruto returned the charge as his clone dispersed and thrusted his ball of chakra into the chirping lighting. "Rasengan!"
Gritting his teeth, Naruto felt like he was being pushed back and pumped more chakra into his attack to regain ground. He could tell that Sasuke was slowly piercing the orb however he wasn't going to let that happen.
Sasuke's entire arm was shaking as lighting wisped around him. He could tell his attack was experiencing what happened to the water tank the day before and then it happened. Both were blown back as both the Chidori and Rasengan became unstable and exploded.
After rolling across the water's surface, Naruto regained his balance and picked himself up. Taking a few deep breathes to catch his breath; he looked over towards Sasuke and saw he was in the same situation. Seeing he had a chance to take the advantage himself, he rushed Sasuke as he reached into his pouch and pulled out a few shuriken. Releasing them towards the recovering Uchiha, he jumped up into the air before a kunai went straight through him.
A poof of smoke appeared catching Sasuke off guard as he ducked under the shuriken. Activating his Sharingan, he cursed as one of the shuriken turned into Naruto and took a foot into his chin. Skidding across the water, Sasuke turned and looked at Naruto only to see another cloud of smoke in his place. Before he knew it, a fist met his chin and he was sent into the air and was caught in a kick that sent him into the water.
Naruto smirked as he felt the tide turning quickly. Plus his clones kept Sasuke at bay as he began to form another Rasengan with a clones help. With Sasuke underwater, he searched around and prepared to strike when he came up so he could end the fight right then and there and drag his ass back to Konoha.
Sasuke saw this as well as he was holding his breath. He knew as soon as he popped up he would be struck by the blue orb and he would be out of this fight yet he couldn't counter without taking some damage from his own technique. However, the risk did not out weigh the gain except he would have to be perfect.
Going through the necessary hand seals, he felt a sharp pain throughout his body as the lighting formed in his palm. Taking quick aim, he jumped out of the water and struck at Naruto's chest.
Naruto barely managed to move himself out of the way. The Chidori still pierced through his chest and into his right lung. He began coughing blood as Sasuke pulled his hand out causing even more pain then before. Black began to shroud his vision as the light in his eyes began to fade.
Suddenly his vision turned red as unbelievable power filled his system. However this power did not feel like his and was far darker then his own. He instantly knew that it was Kyuubi's chakra. He could feel the chakra slowly began regenerating his lung and the flesh around it. It was far more painful then he would have liked, but he wasn't going to let this power surge go unused.
Concentrating chakra to his fist, he threw a fist to Sasuke's face. The Uchiha simply jumped back to avoid the punch when something happened neither expected. The air around Naruto's fist bent around it and was violently sent forward knocking Sasuke off his feet and into the air.
While surprised by his own attack, Naruto did not waste the opportunity as he charged straight towards the defenseless Sasuke. Driving his fist into his stomach as the Uchiha attempted to land, he followed a series of punches into his stomach pushing him into the air and finally finishing with a kick to his chin.
Sasuke was reeling from the blows Naruto delivered him as he landed once more. Looking up, his face dropped as Naruto was on him and ax slammed him into the water below. As the water began to rush into his lungs, Sasuke sent a surge of chakra to his feet and rocketed himself out of the water where he began to skate across the water as he attempted to stop.
Naruto seeing this focused his chakra to his feet and skated towards Sasuke before realizing he over shot him. Jumping up, he caught the cliff and bounced off it and directly into Sasuke knocking him back. Naruto continued his assault as he kicked Sasuke in the stomach and followed it up with a series of powerful punches before finishing it off by grabbing Sasuke and throwing him into a cliff nearby.
Jumping into the crater that he threw Sasuke into, Naruto reached down and grabbed Sasuke's collar before growling out. "I'm not going to let you go! Even if I have to break every bone in your body, I'm not letting you go to that snake bastard! You aren't the only one that he's tempted Sasuke!"
Being on the wrong end of the jinchuuriki's attacks, Sasuke pushed Naruto off and jumped back onto the water and panted heavily as he looked over towards his rival. He wasn't able to keep up with his movements anymore and it was feeling like he was going to loose. As if by that thought alone, he felt his power beginning to rise and the movements of the water slow down.
Not sure what was going on, Sasuke took his stance as he looked over at Naruto with a new, puzzled look. Orochimaru had tempted Naruto as well, but when? 'Wait; that place we cleaned out. I did hear that use to be where Orochimaru lived… That girl! He created that girl in order to tempt him! I see what he means now…'
"Naruto," Sasuke called out as he jumped onto a broken tree log that was floating awkwardly in the water, "No matter what you say, my mind will not be made up by words. So from here on out, no more talking. Our fists will decide this outcome."
"Now come!" With a pulse of chakra, he split the log evenly along the side before grabbing on piece and throwing it towards the charging Naruto.
Just as it reached him it burst into flames however Naruto easily dodged it and attempted to knock some sense into him. Being pushed to the side, Naruto looked back only to see Sasuke jump onto the cliff and wait for him to attack. This made Naruto growl lightly as he jumped onto the side of the cliff and rush towards him. But once more Sasuke easily avoided his attacks before countering with a kick knocking him down the cliff.
Regaining his balance and keeping on the side with chakra, Naruto cursed under his breath before rushing side to side to try and catch Sasuke off guard. But it seemed that Sasuke was still able to see him as he easily caught his punch before catching him with a blow to his temple before taking a round house kick knocking him into the water below.
Jumping down, Sasuke was more confident then before. He knew his Sharingan had matured and he was able to keep up with Naruto's speed. Feeling a large amount of chakra being formed around him, he instantly knew what Naruto was doing and closed his eyes and began to focus.
His eyes snapped open as dozens of splashes caught his attention and over a hundred clones of Naruto burst from the water heading straight towards him like missiles. Sasuke evaded each one with gymnastic like precision and took out the ones that were a little too close for comfort. He was finding it strange that they weren't trying to hit him but move him…
As Sasuke realized what was happening, his ankles were grabbed before he was spun by a rope of shadow clones before being flung into the cliff once more. Getting annoyed at this, Sasuke decided to get rid of all the clones at once as he finished a familiar set of seals. "Katon: Ryuka!"
The flame enveloped all the clones and incinerated them and Sasuke thought they were done before seeing the first one didn't disappear when it was damage. His eyes widened in realization as it was indeed Naruto that grabbed him and now was looking up at him with blank eyes as the fire was still burning his skin.
Knowing now was the time to cut the bond, he grabbed Naruto's collar and looked him in the eye before throwing him off the cliff and quickly followed as he wrapped his legs around his throat and slammed his head into the ground and a stomach-churning crack was heard throughout the valley.
Sasuke instantly knew Naruto was dead as he looked down at him. No one could survive having their neck snapped like that. He felt a little queasy for what he did and even hated himself for what he had done, but now was the time he had to do it. But one word caught his attention before he found himself hit by a large amount of red chakra. "MASTER!"
Kurumi had been followed the tracks of her master. She had to admit, she had believe she had gotten lost but then she heard his voice in her head and that led her here to see what the raven haired boy did to her master. Anger filled her like nothing she felt before and her heart began to beat painfully.
Power like none other flood her system as her eyes lost the shine in them and a slight red tint began to gleam within them as she pulled back her fist. Chakra began gathering at her fist as her focus was completely on Sasuke and with a single swing from her fist, a beam of concentrated red chakra shot from her fist and straight into the stunned Uchiha.
She jumped down as her eyes turned a robotic red as she looked straight at a now transformed Sasuke. He looked more like a monster in this form, but Kurumi paid no attention as she walked towards him with red chakra still burning at her hand. Lifting her arm forward, she aimed her blast at the wings and blew them off was no trouble.
Unknown to both, red chakra was bubbling around Naruto and beginning to take the shape of a fox with one tail.
Sasuke was frightened beyond anything he felt before. The power Orochimaru had given him seemed to be nothing compared to the pink haired teen, who apparently was one of his earlier inventions. Now he was beginning to realize why he left it behind. The power alone was frightening… Wait, why could he see two sources of red chakra.
"GRRRAAAHHH!"
The voice alone shook the influence of Kyuubi's power from Kurumi's heart as she looked behind to see Naruto covered in eerily similar red chakra. Her eyes widened to see that her master was alright, but something was wrong. "…Master?"
Naruto seemed to not notice her as his blood red eyes were solely focused on the terrified Uchiha. Without second thought, Naruto sliced his hand towards him and a claw of chakra flowed and slashed Sasuke across the chest before grabbing him. Pulling back, Naruto gave another roar before slamming Sasuke into the mountain as he began to form chakra in his other palm, creating a perfect Rasengan with a slight purple tint to it.
As Sasuke began to pick himself up, he noticed that Naruto was flying towards him with the orb of chakra in his hand once more. Barely having enough energy to defend himself, he pulled out what was left of his chakra and used Chidori one last time before jumping out to meet Naruto.
Kurumi was unsure what was going on but now she was slightly frightened at what was happening to her master. He didn't even notice her. But she didn't notice him until she heard his voice… "MASTER!"
Just as the two techniques collided, sense was driven back into Naruto and he grabbed the clawed hand of Sasuke that was aimed for his heart. Growling loudly, he pulled him in and drove his elbow into his face as both techniques canceled and threw him viciously into the ground below.
Landing were he threw Sasuke, he could feel the demon's chakra receding. Looking down at Sasuke, he smirked seeing that he was down and out. Turning to Kurumi as the last of Kyuubi's chakra left his system, he smiled softly at her. "Thank you…"
As he fell to the ground, Kurumi quickly caught him and looked down at her master before squealing lightly at how much those two words made her feel. Running her hand through his hair, she picked him up just as another burst onto the scene. She was alarmed at first before seeing who it was. "Oh, it's you desu. Can you get him?"
Seeing that Kurumi was pointing at the downed Uchiha, Kakashi sighed in relief as Sasuke had been successfully captured. A little beaten, but that was probably for the better. Nodding to Kurumi, he picked up Sasuke. "Follow me; I know where the hospital is."
Kurumi only nodded as she followed Kakashi as she was quite sure she wouldn't be able to find the way back home. But at least she had her master with her and that was all she really cared about.
From atop the cliffs at the Valley of the End, a strange man emerged from the ground and looked at the scene with no expresion. He had been spying on the two for a while and his suspision was confirmed about the pink haired girl. She was indeed the one with other half of Kyuubi within her and not only that, she was a Steel Angel though nothing like the doctor died trying to build for them.
"I must inform the others about this... But I wonder what they will do? ...Ah shut up and leave already. I'm getting bored." And without another word, the strange man sunk into the ground leaving no trace of him ever being there.
Naruto: (pants) Whoa… That was tough.
Kurumi: (screams in happiness) MASTER!
Naruto: (caught in death hug) Can't… Breath…
Kurumi: Yay! Master is back! (swings Naruto around as he turns blue)
Kiba: …I'm not touching this one with a ten foot pole.
Naruto: (gassing) I'm… dying… here.
Kurumi: (releases Naruto) Sorry master!
Kiba: Well, I'll introduce the next chapter while you recover man. With Sasuke back in protective custody, Tsunade tries to figure out what to do with Saki. But the decision is made for her! Find out how on the next chapter of Steel Angels and a Blonde, Happy Saki. …Lucky bastard.
Naruto: …What was that for Kiba?
Kiba: You'll find out next chapter.
Naruto: …I have a bad feeling now.
Kurumi: Oh you'll get over it master! And for all of you readers out there, please don't forget to read and review if you have any questions, comments or see any mistakes. With that said, bye-bye desu!
