EDIT: well, I wanted to do more, but I'm too tired, so ultimately I decided to just finish up Naruto's fight at the moment, just so that you could enjoy it in HD without any wait :D So, enjoy dammit :D
Kai: Yes my friends, it's me again! Because the others really sucked at interviewing our 'beloved' writter, I'm back in charge! And let me just tell you, that I'll squeeze every information from you!
Shang: Yeah, right. Just get to the reviewers questions, the readers are probably starting to get annoyed.
Kai: Okay! First question... what, no questions? Not even a flame? What the hell! All I have in my notes is that the readers can't wait to see Naruto-sensei fight!... And that the fight scene was 'awesome'.
Shang: Good, it means they still like the story.
Kai: And just why are you so happy? You're getting less reviews lately. You suck!
Shang: You know, if the story won't be popular, I'll just drop it... and that means your appearance will be over.
Kai: ... Please read and review guys!
On to the story:
Chapter #13: Shadows from the Past
Title Page: this wasn't supposed to be anything special, simply a grown-up Naruto eating (or sucking in this case) ramen
"You did good" announced Naruto, jumping down from the branch. "You managed to keep Deji-sama safe till my arrival. Take five. I'll handle things from here…"
"What happened?" asked Kai, slowly regaining consciousness. "Did I get him?"
"Not exactly" answered Takaru without looking at the young blond. "But it's not of a big importance now. Looks like Naruto-sensei will deal with him."
The other gennin looked in the direction the son of Tsunade was staring and saw his teacher and the swordsman standing in front of each other.
"I was actually hoping to get a chance to fight you" announced the stone-nin, grabbing his sword. "I have some business with you…"
"Really?" replied the blond jounin calmly. "And just what might that be?"
"Vengeance" came a response and with those words the masked man jumped right at the Kyuubi vessel, ready to cut off the whisker-marks' head with his weapon.
The leaf shinobi bended over and heard the sound of the air being cut right above his head. While his opponent's blade was still moving, he preformed the right seals and taking a deep breath, he called out: "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"
With those words a powerful fireball came out of the blond's mouth, hitting the man death center. The smoke didn't even cleared itself, when Naruto felt something grabbing his feet from bellow. "Figures" he thought to himself, as he began to complete a new chain of hand seals.
The same time that the swordsman yelled 'Doton: Shinjuu Zanshuu no Jutsu!', Naruto cried out: "Doton: Kassha!". Instantly hundreds of tiny stones went into the air, lifting up tons of dust. When the air cleared, gennin and Deji saw the Kyuubi vessel blocking stone-nin's sword with his kunai.
"Such jutsu speed…" thought Kumiko, sweat still dripping from her face.
"What are you trying to do?" asked Naruto with a smirk on his face. "Catch me for the oldest trick in the world? I've expected better from a stone-nin…"
"Defeating you won't be as easy, as I thought" responded the swordsman simply. "Guess I should start being serious, but before that, mind telling me how in the world you've master an Uchiha technique?"
"Lets just say that the Uchiha prodigy is a good friend of mine" replied the blond jounin as both of them jumped back.
The Kyuubi vessel instantly performed his favorite hand seal and as he finished, eight Narutos took the place of one. After that, they started to surround the swordsman.
"What is that jutsu!" Kai asked amazed, his eyes wide.
"Kage Bunshin, eh?" stated the stone-nin, tilting his head slightly. "That sort of trick is good against the opponent of a lower level. To counter that, all I have to do is use Iwa Bunshin…"
"Do you really believe that I don't know that?" asked Naruto as all his copies held out their right hands. The swordsman felt chakra concentrating in their paws and looked as it took the form of a spinning, blue ball.
"Is that the famous Rasengan? I've heard that it can go through anything…"
"Rasengan?" thought Kusari, totally shocked. "The ultimate, Konoha technique? I've heard that there were only three people in the Leaf's history, who mastered that jutsu. Naruto-sensei's that good?"
"The rumors give this technique a little too much credit, I'm afraid" replied the blond jounin with a stoic face. "Though, against you, it should be enough" and with those words, all the clones charged at the stone-nin.
The swordsman preformed the right combination of seals and with the yell: "Doton: Ishi Banka!" his hands touched the ground. Instantly stone spikes raised around him, forming some sort of a bunker with extremely wide walls. When the Rasengans reached the walls, a huge cloud of dust went into the air and when the air cleared, everyone saw the stone bunker heavily damaged, but the stone-nin hiding inside it was definitely unharmed.
"Ishi Tomurai no Jutsu!" came a voice from behind the rocks.
Naruto instantly jumped into the air, but his replicas didn't had that good reflex. As they were stabbed by stone spikes, they all disappeared in the cloud of smoke and the stone-nin was already making a new chain of hand seals.
"Doton: Doryuudan no Jutsu!" and with the swordsman ending this phrase, the earth formed into a large dragon that charged right at Naruto. In less then a second the Kyuubi vessel preformed his own chain of hand seals and with the last symbol, he cried out: "Katon: Kasai Tori!"
Suddenly chakra that came out of his body has formed itself into a bird of flames which charged at the stone dragon at full speed. When both attacks clashed, nothing was left, neither the ancient lizard nor the phoenix.
"That technique…" said Naruto, narrowing his eyes as he landed on the ground. "I saw it before, only then the dragon was made out of water…"
"So there was no mistake" announced the stone-nin simply, confusing his adversary even further. "You really are Uzumaki Naruto. Then allow me to announce that you'll die here by my hand and thus you'll pay for what you did eighteen years ago!"
"Eighteen years ago?" whispered the blond jounin, rising his eyebrow. "You mean, you're…"
"My name's Momochi Kataki!" announced the stone-nin with fury sounding in his voice. "Your executor!"
"Zabuza's younger brother…" stated Naruto with understanding. "I've heard few things about you, when I was traveling with ero-sennin through the Mist Country. The one who betrayed the Kirigakure when his brother became a missing-nin. It was thought that you become a stone-nin, but it still surprises me that Tsuchikage allowed this."
"The whole situation was a little more complicated, but it's useless to speak about it here and now" replied Kataki matter-of-factly. "You're the one who killed my brother. I've train for eighteen, long years just for this moment. Tonight, you will die, Uzumaki Naruto!" and with those words he began performing another chain of hand seals.
"Doton: Iwa Sasori!" and with those words hundreds of stones, all shapes and sizes, began to concentrate right under Kataki, lifting him up in the air.
"Wha… what is that jutsu?" Ibuki looked with her eyes widen.
Naruto just stood there as more stones began to pass him and join 'the form' completing itself under Kataki's feet. The more rocks placed themselves, the easier it was to figure what they were creating: a gigantic scorpion.
"Impressive" announced Naruto with a nod, looking at the monster.
"Thank you" replied Kataki modestly. "I call him Dokumaru, as the sting on his tail really contains poison. There's no cure for it and even a trained medic-nin wouldn't be able to do much about it. Or, to put it simply: let the sting touch you and you die…"
"Well, I am amazed by the jutsu itself…" repeated the blond jounin. "But this is still just a pile of rocks. I'll make it go to pieces once more."
"Such confidence…" noticed the stone-nin. "Lets see if you have anything to back that up. Dokumaru, attack!"
Hearing that, the stone scorpion attacked Naruto with his tail from above. The Kyuubi vessel jumped back just in time as the venomous sting went deep into the ground where he was standing just a second ago.
Landing of his feet and propping himself with his left hand, Naruto saw gigantic claw coming right at him. Acting on instinct, he used his left hand to spring to his left, thus dodging the attack, but just barely.
While still in mid-air, he took out three kunai with his right hand and threw the directly at Kataki. But the stone-nin deflected all the knives with his sword without bigger problems. As the Leaf shinobi landed on his feet, he started to perform a quick chain of hand seals. Before the chain was finish, he was already surrounded with flames.
"Katon: Honoo Arashi!" and with those words, flames that were surrounding the blond jounin went straight at the swordsman in the form of a tsunami.
"Dokumaru, protect me!" with that order, the stone scorpion hid Kataki behind its claws.
As the wave of flames went through the stone giant, Dokumaru lowered his claw, thus revealing Kataki, who managed to survive the attack unharmed.
"To think that you'll be able to avoid even that…" said Naruto with a alight frown.
"That was a good attempt" replied the masked man. "Seems that playing around won't do me any good. I suggest you prepare yourself, Uzumaki Naruto, as with the next attack, I'll end your existence" and with saying so, he performed a quick set of hand seals. "Doton: Iwa Hando!"
Naruto jumped into the air and only thanks to that he was able to avoid a gigantic, stone hand that came at him from the ground. Once he found himself in mid-air, he saw Kataki's shuriken coming right at him.
"Dammit" he thought to himself, as he quickly executed the right hand seals.
"Kawamiri, eh?" figured the swordsman as he saw a wooden pale coming down to the ground with his shinobi stars in it. "Using something like that in a fight against me… I should take that as an insult…"
"Sorry if I insulted you then…" replied Naruto, who was standing right in front of him and the stone scorpion now. "I'll show you that I respect you as a ninja. Prepare yourself, Kataki, coz playtime's over" and with those words the blond jounin picked out two kunai…
-the battle enters another level!-
And the thirteen (some say unlucky) chapter ends here. Please give me your opinion about it.
And to finish things of, time for another jutsu encyklopedia:
Doton: Doryuudan no Jutsu (Earth Element: Earth Dragon Blast Skill) - a technique very similar to Zabuza's Water Dragon. In order to perform this jutsu the user must send his chakra into the surface, thuscreating a large dragon shape formed from a large amount of stones. The dragon form is sent towards your opponent for a powerful attack.
Doton: Kassha (Earth Element: Blocade) - this jutsu was simply invented to black the effects of Inner Decapitation Skill (Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu). It's based on sending the right among of chakra into ones feet, does preventing the user from switching placed with the one who attemps to use the Decapitation Skill.
Doton: Ishi Banka (Earth Element: Stone Bunker) - a jutsu thanks to which the user prevents himself from receiving damage. It's usage is similar to the Stone Funeral (Ishi TOmurai no Jutsu), only this time the spikes surround the user, forming a barrier that is very hard to break.
Katon: Kasai Tori (Fire Element: Fire Bird) - jutsu used by Naruto. Normally it requires already burning flames to be performed, but Konoha's loudest shinobi invented a way to perform it even without the fire. In his case he simply releases chakra from his mouth in the form of flame (just like in the case of Grand Fireball Skill) and with the use of right hand seals he forms it into a phoenix, wich can be send at the opponent.
Doton: Iwa Sasori (Earth Element: Rock Scorpion) - a forbidden jutsu from the Hidden Stone. As usual, the user must send his chakra into the ground, but in this case it's also required to be send into the air. The among of chakra in the ground lifts up all sort of stones which then travel on the routes created by the chakra released into the air and form a gigantic scorpion. This technique requires a huge among of chakra to work (similar to the Summoning Skill).
Katon: Honoo Arashi (Fire Element: Flame Storm) - jutsu invented by Naruto. In this case chakra is released by the users feet and starts circling around the user. Then, with the use of the correct seals, the user forms the flames into a huge tidal wave which can wipe out a small army! This technique requires a lot of chakra to work though.
Doton: Iwa Hando (Earth Element: Rock Hand) - one of a primary jutsu's of stone-nins. The user must send his chakra into the ground and then, after performing the right seals, the chakra pushes up the stones in a form of a gigantic hand.
And now some of the techniques that were already presented in the original 'Naruto'. The descriptions are taken from (with a little add-ons from me):
Doton: Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Earth Element: Inner Decapitation Skill) - the user hides beneath the ground, and reaches up to grab their opponent. The opponent is then pulled under the ground, up to their chin.
Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Grand Fireball Skill) - uses a high amount of chakra, which allows the user to breath out a large portion of flame. It's one of the Uchiha clan primary techniques.
And I think that's that for this time. I'll try to upload the next chapter soon.
Take care.
SPECIAL NOTE: Almost forgot: to those who will be intrested in that other, 'Naruto' fanfic, I'll just would like to announced that the first chapter should appear soon after the release of the 14th chapter. More details next time.
