The group was looking at Solaris and Valiant in surprise. The skills they were demonstrating shouldn't be possible for them; especially not Solaris who was using what they believed was Nara clan techniques at their highest levels.
"I'll take care of the rest of them so you can have some alone time with your mother." Valiant told Solaris.
"You're pretty arrogant to believe you can take us all on." Kakashi said.
Valiant smiled gently. "You're the ones who are arrogant thinking you can defeat me. But I won't bore you with all the details, now let's take this someplace else and give them a little privacy."
The shadows in the area stretched and curled around the ninjas except for Kushina. The shadows moved to fast for the group to dodge and once they got a hold the ninja's couldn't escape. Shadows curled around Valiant as well and completely covered him and the ninja's before dispersing showing to Kushina's shock nothing. Valiant had transported himself and the other ninja's away leaving only her and Solaris.
"Don't worry about them," Solaris told her. "Just turn around and go back to Konoha, I'm not going to return there."
"But Naruto -"
"I told you before that isn't my name, not anymore. My name is Solaris." He told her.
"I'm going to bring you home Naruto, by any means necessary. And then we'll make it up to you." Kushina said her depression quickly turning to determination.
Solaris shook his head "You have no chance of bringing me back peacefully, do you really want to fight me after everything you've already put me through."
Kushina hesitated and found a blast of darkness hitting her chest sending her backwards. Solaris was just annoyed at this whole situation, why couldn't things ever be simple? Ropes of silver energy appeared from around his wrists and wrapped around Kushina, restraining her before tying the woman to a tree. He honestly hated doing that, using her feelings like that, but Kushina was too good a ninja and no matter how powerful his magic was he was still too inexperienced.
After Valiant had used the shadow walk to transport them away he put them all in a clearing a distance away. Immediately he found a giant fireball heading in his direction. Sighing Valiant dispersed the fireball with a simple thought. The ANBU that shot the fireball was hit with a blast of blue energy; he was unconscious before he hit the ground. Throwing both his hands out the wind around him exploded outwards pushing the rest of the group away.
"So I guess you're not just going to back away now….I didn't think so." Valiant sighed seeing there glares.
A few of the ANBU threw kunai while Jiraiya went in for the attack from the front using a rasengan, Kakashi attacking from behind with a chidori. He pushed the kunai away and grabbed both Jiraiya and Kakashi's attacks. Everyone was shocked, Valiant was completely unaffected by the attacks, he simply crushed the rasengan in his hands and reversed the flow of the electricity in Kakashi's chidori. Both Jiraiya and Kakashi jumped back now sporting burn marks and cuts in their hands thanks to the backlash of Valiant cancelling out the attacks.
Valiant threw a stream of fire at Kakashi who brought up an earth wall for defence. Focusing Valiant clenched his fist and shattered the earth wall shocking Kakashi while the debris rained down on the group. Earth elemental magic was his least favourite type of magic but Valiant still found it useful at some points.
"He's toying with us, making sure we don't leave to help Kushina." Jiraiya muttered to the others next to him.
Yugao swung at Valiant but he easily blocked her sword by summoning a long purple blade of energy. The sword didn't stand a chance, the energy blade sliced through it like a hot knife through butter. Yugao barely managed to move out of the way in time but still got cut along her shoulder. The wound wasn't bad but would prevent her from using her arm properly until it healed.
"Ninja Art Summoning: Bring Down the House!"
Valiant looked up in time to see a giant toad, one of the toad summons, fall on him. Everyone stared at Jiraiya who was standing on top of the toad and smiling at his victory. Everyone in the group sighed glad it was finally over; who knows what would have happened if the battle went on for longer. Suddenly without any sort of warning the toad was thrown into the air at great speeds. Everyone could hear Jiraiya screaming as he and the toad he was on went flying somewhere in the direction of the Village Hidden in the Mist.
Wide eyed they all turned back to Valiant who was standing there, looking as calm and unhurt as before. Usually there would be something to indict that you had just been jumped on by an amphibian the size of a house. But the group could see nothing wrong with the beautiful man.
"Okay that was annoying; I'll just end this now." Valiant told them.
Before the ninja's could do anything they all felt an incredible pressure surround them. Every one of them hit the floor instantly and blacked out. Shaking his head Valiant then left the group there, heading to where he knew Solaris was now. It had been an eventful few minutes but those ninja's didn't put up much of fight, but then again it was a whole group of people against only one opponent. They needed to make sure there attacks didn't hit anyone on their side. He wondered how it went with Solaris. It didn't take long for him to meet up with the blonde haired boy who was frowning in thought. Something was bothering him but Valiant wouldn't pry.
"Let's go, we have a boat to catch." Valiant told him.
Solaris looked back in the direction of Konoha one last time. "Come on then, let's go and catch some bad guys."
Valiant grinned; ever since he told Naruto about what he used to do he was fascinated. He could practically feel the anticipation rolling off him.
"Let's. I just hope I can get someone to watch the store quickly."
