Last time, Killer Bee and Samui were busy trying to free Naruto, while Karui was doing the same thing with Omoi. Samui was fighting off Kir when she was able to free Naruto from his predicament which he was able to save Samui from her possible death.
Naruto looked at the battlefield in front of him. He can see that Killer Bee was so far holding on his own against Gin and Vodka, but knew that he'll need some back up or else he is going to go into any of his Jinchuriki forms to beat them, which could cause a lot of collateral damage.
He then looked where Samui was at. She barely kept herself balance if it wasn't for all the training that she and Naruto had done over the years. Once he saw Kir, he knew that he needs to step in. With that, Naruto looked at the area, where he made his plan.
After a bit of waiting the branch broke while Naruto was still standing on it. As the branch fell, Naruto stood with it for a second longer before making his move. Naruto landed on the nearest trap that was close to him. With that, the trap unleashed hell, which it made the surrounding area starting activating other traps because of the shockwaves or places where the senbon, shuriken or kunai landed.
It was when Samui and Kir look at where the explosions and such were happening. They saw that Naruto was running towards them while avoiding the destruction that he was unleashing cause of it. Naruto then yelled, "Samui! Throw explosives at all your directions except at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock."
Samui did what Naruto had asked her. Once she did, all around her started to explode, which cause the distraction between the fight of Killer Bee and his opponents, Gin and Vodka. As the dust continue create cover, Samui was having a hard time trying to avoid being hit. It was then that she was surprised about what happened to her. She was picked up bridal style by Naruto at the last second before another trap was set off near her.
Once the explosion were set off and the dust finally settled, Gin, Vodka, and Kir, who somehow was able to dodge the explosions and such, to see that Killer Bee, Naruto and Samui were gone. It was then that Gin sneered in anger since all three of them left the battlefield. He then ordered Kir and Vodka to quickly meet up with Chianti.
With Naruto's group
Naruto and Bee were leaping through the trees at a good speed, while Samui was still being carried in Naruto's arms. As they move on, Samui didn't complain for what happened. Samui was thinking about how nice Naruto's heartbeat felt like, even if they were in a bad situation. This feeling only last a moment which Samui said, "Um Naruto, can you put me down now?" getting Naruto's attention.
Naruto agreed, which he then landed on the next tree branch, then put Samui back on her feet. After that, they both continue on with Bee, who waited for them to get their bearings. As they moved, Naruto thought out loud about something.
"Ok, now that you free me, I can't help but wonder on where's Karui? Don't tell me she is trying to save Omoi on her own?" asking Bee and Samui
"Yes, Karui felt that she owes Omoi for saving her, even if it was a reckless save, so she intends to save him, herself. But now, we need to get where they are before those nuke-nin do. It would be uncool for if they catch Karui along with Omoi." Answered Samui
"Be cool, don't be a fool. Karui won't fall to those fools." Killer Bee stated
Naruto and Samui nodded in agreement, then all three of them moved quickly towards Karui and Omoi's location. But they got worried when they heard a large bang coming behind them. They all guess that it was a warning signal for Chianti.
With Karui and Omoi
Karui was sitting at the spot she came into the area. She walked a short distance and sat in a secure location for the past 10 minutes on trying to figure out on what she can do since she knew that any mistake could cost her and Omoi's lives. It was then that she heard the large bang coming from a distance, where she knew that it was from Naruto's possible location.
As she wondered about it, hiding somewhere in the shadow, Chianti was busy doing her own part now. Chianti has been waiting in the shadow for 10 minutes, just for Karui to do something to free her friend, Omoi. It was when she heard the large explosion coming from Gin's direction that she knew what has happened. The explosion was a signal for her to know that the Kumo team was somehow able to rescue their hostage, Naruto, and was now on their way to help save their other teammate. Chianti had to act fast in order to make sure that they still have one hostage and get rid or capture the other teammate.
Chianti quietly moved from her position to get into a closer spot next to Karui. She moved quietly around the boulders, getting ready for an ambush attack on Karui. As she moves closer, she had no idea that every step she took was also something that Karui was waiting for her.
The reason Karui was sitting was because she was waiting for Chianti to come out. Karui had to fight the urge on jumping on her feet and running up to Chianti for the past 4 minutes. In the beginning, after Karui spotted the thin line, she went to the spot that was trap free to see if she can keep going. But she couldn't, so she sat down on the safe zone, keeping her eyes on the ground, while also thinking on what else she can do. It was after 6 minutes of silence that she heard a low groan. She then decide to use a trick that Naruto had taught her.
Flashback
A 9 year old Karui was running around the academy, avoiding some silly flower arrangement class for future kunoichi, while the boys would practice taijutsu. As she continue to go around the academy, she spotted Naruto outside the academy with his head held high, his eyes closed, just standing in the middle of the area inhaling the peaceful surroundings.
She decided to go and play a prank on him, as well as insert her status as being the best in the class. She carefully and silently moved towards Naruto, jumping out of the ground floor window, avoiding anything that would make any sounds that would warn him. Just as she was just behind him (2 meters), Naruto just did a backflip and jumped over Karui, landing behind her. This freaked her out since Naruto caught her be surprise.
Once Karui got over her surprise, she glared at Naruto for scaring her. She then heard him, "You know, if you're going to try and scary me, you need to do better than that since I heard you just when you walked outside."
Karui was stunned to know that Naruto knew she was outside, which she yelled out, "How can you hear me since I moved quietly." Glaring at Naruto
Naruto sighed as he said, "Simple, when you jumped out of the window, there was a silent thump when you landed that told me someone was behind me." Answering Karui
He then explained that being silent is a virtue that all shinobi would have to acquire since it can mean the difference of life and death.
End Flashback
Karui remembered that Naruto had told her that once she was silence, she could be able to hear things the she wouldn't normally hear. It was when she became truly silent that she heard the groan that Chianti had made. With this, she planned out on what to do with her, which she decided to use this trap area as a means to take care of Chianti and to give her time on saving Omoi.
She can sense that Chianti was getting closer to her, where she got ready to make her own move against her. Once Chianti was at striking distance, she got into a leaping form to take out Karui. Chianti jump at Karui and giving her karate chop in the head to knock her out. It was then that Karui did a large backflip (sitting Indian-style) and avoided the attack. Chianti quickly recovered by using her hand to chop to land neatly and flip herself back on her feet, but at the spot that Karui was on, while Karui landed near her
Before Chianti can go and fight, she saw Karui pulled out her katana to face Chianti with a smirk on her face. Chianti wasn't worried since she believed that Karui wouldn't be much of a challenge for her. Chianti was about to make her move against Karui, Karui said, "I be careful if I were you. You know that this spot were on is the only spot that I was able to figure out that doesn't have a trap in it. So one wrong step pass me or around you is going to be you last." With a smirk on her face.
Chianti looked around and knew that Karui was right since she forgot that the spot that she was in was the inner circle of the trap zone. She knew that she needed to be careful since she only knew one safe trail, which she wasn't anywhere near. Plus with Karui on the defensive like that, she could very well get killed since Karui can get her if she was distracted, even if she can easily dodge Karui, she can still get herself injured .
They both waited in the spot that they were on since they can't move without the other getting the other. While they waited, Omoi was busy trying to get out, but was having difficulty since he was starting to feel dizzy from being hang upside down for a while now.
For 5 minutes, both Karui and Chianti stayed in the exact spot in defensive stance. It was then that they heard noises coming near them. Karui was hoping it was her team, while Chianti kept her cool since she needs to have an escape plan in case it wasn't Gin or any of her allies.
All three of them heard, "Well Chianti, it seems that you've got yourself in a troubling situation. Be grateful that we got here before those Kumo idiots came."
Both of them turned to see that it was Gin, Vodka, and Kir walking towards them. Chianti smirked when Gin came to them. Karui and Omoi, who was listening, were starting to get worried since they are outnumbered now.
"Chianti, get over here so we can get the girl." Said Vodka
Chianti moved her body and leapt into the air towards Gin and her team. Karui thought they were now screwed. But that thought ended when they all saw Chianti being kicked in the air and into the trap area. Once she fell into another part of the trap area, closer to Omoi, where she was then hit by dozens of kunai and an explosive tags. Chianti was killed instantly after those explosions. Everyone turned to see that the one that killed Chianti was Naruto, who was now in fighting stance. Gin and the others then saw Killer Bee and Samui landed next to him.
Naruto yelled out, "Karui! Get Omoi now! We got these guys."
Karui nodded then leapt to the spot where Chianti landed. Gin then looked at Kir, "Hurry and stop the girl. Make sure that she doesn't free the other boy." Which Kir nodded in agreement.
Kir quickly followed Karui, while Killer Bee, Naruot and Samui got ready to face Gin and Vodka.
Vodka quickly used his Impenetrable Armor Jutsu and rushed at the group. Killer Bee moved forward to face Vodka. Once both of them were locked in combat, Naruto and Samui focused their attention to the leader, Gin, who only smirked at them.
Naruto quickly got both of his sabre claws (that are located on both his shoulders), and got in fighting stance. Samui got her tanto ready to back up Naruto against Gin. Gin looked surprised to see Naruto holding 2 sabre claws.
"My, my, I thought I made sure that you don't have any weapons left." As he exams Naruto clothing, "Ah, I see. The coloring of your clothes… it masks the seals that you've place on them, to confuse your enemies on having a false sense of security." Gin stated
While Gin and Naruto were sizing each other up, Vodka rushed forward intending to destroy all three of them. It was then that Bee step in front of Vodka where Vodka pushed Bee far back, while Naruto and Samui avoided the oncoming collision from both Killer Bee and Vodka. Vodka pushed Bee out of the area, into a secluded area. Once Bee and Vodka left, Samui once again place her attention back on Gin, who was still staring at Naruto.
The stare only lasted for another moment or two until Gin made the first move. Like Naruto, Gin unsealed a large sheath sword in front of them. He pulled the sheath out to reveal a katana (from Kill Bill) with a brilliant shine on the blade. Once Gin pulled out his sword, he threw the sheath away and held the sword with both his hands. Naruto tighten his grip on his sabre claws, while Samui got her tanto ready to defend.
In an instant, Gin moved from his position to Naruto's where he swing his sword down over his head which Naruto blocked with both his sabre claws. Naruto struggle to push back Gin's sword, as Gin push forward trying to get the advantage. The struggle only lasted for a moment or 2 which Naruto drop his stance to fall back while moving his sabre claws to his left side. This made Gin fall forward and lose his balance that allowed Naruto to do a right heel kick at Gin. Gin was caught by surprise by Naruto's move. He quickly brought himself back on his legs, which at that time, Naruto came at him with full force.
Samui watch and waited for the perfect opportunity to jump in since Naruto was using his sabre claws with his taijutsu. Naruto and Gin continue to fight each other's own blade, trying to cut the other apart.
With Karui
While the others were fighting their own battle, Karui leapt into the free space that Naruto created for her using Chianti's body. Once she landed, she looked were Omoi was and yelled out, "Omoi! Be ready, I'm not going to get near you in case the support your tide to is a trap so I'm going to cut the rope around your body so you'll have to catch yourself!"
"Got it, but what happens if the ropes are also a trap? Or there is a trap ready to hit you when you start cutting the ropes? Or-" Omoi said before Karui cut in and said, "Just shut up since I throwing my shurikens now."
Omoi was nervous when the small hail of shurikens only cut the rope that tide from his shoulder to his chest. He quickly, but carefully, got his arms untied and got the blindfold of his face before finally looking at where he was. Once he took it all in, he looked towards his feet where his feet were still tied. He got rid of the rope that had his entire body tied and got to work on releasing himself.
While Omoi was freeing himself, Karui checked the battlefields to see how the rest of her team we're doing. It was then that she spotted Kir coming towards her with a new staff blade that he had with him. Karui prepared her katana to defend against Kir's staff blade.
Kir landed in front of Karui, where he instantly went at Karui with full force. He swung his blade staff with his right hand where Karui brought her katana to block it from her side. Once the staff blade was stopped from the katana, Kir put his left hand just beneath his right where he slid them upward then stop the struggle between the 2 blade ends for Kir to bring the other end of his staff blade to strike at Karui. Karui blocked the other end of the staff blade with her katana in a down sweeping motion where the handle was at the right side of her face with both her hands.
Kirs disengage from the struggle which he then move his staff blade above his head, swinging it with both of his hands, while Karui prepared for another attack. While Karui and Kir were facing each other, Omoi finally frees himself from the rope, where he now hangs on the line. He held onto the rope that kept tied upside down to pull himself up onto the branch. He then looked at where Karui was fighting. He would go down to help Karui, but he had no weapons since Gin and his men took his katana and other weapons away from him when he got captured. He knew that he'll need Karui to hand him some kunai to help with the fight since he can tell that Kir wasn't serious yet.
With Killer Bee
Vodka pushed Killer Bee away from his students to a more secluded area, where they can both fight. Vodka used his Earth style techniques to fight Bee, while Bee brought forth 2 of his swords from his back while channeling some of his lightning affinity into it to increase their power.
Both of them sized each other for a moment before Vodka yelled out, "Earth Style: Stone Spike jutsu!" where several 4 ft. long spikes of rock were shot out of the earth towards Killer Bee. Killer Bee used his swords with his lightning affinities to cut each of the thrown spikes.
Once Bee destroyed the spikes, he went forward to strike down Vodka. Vodka prepared himself by using his Impenetrable Armor Jutsu to destroy Killer Bee. Bee used put one of his 2 swords back behind his back, where he then turned his arm into the Hachibi's arms to absorb Vodka's assault.
As the both of them continue to try and overpower each other, the action back with the others was heating up.
Naruto and Samui
Naruto and Gin continue to slash, slice and strike each other with their weapons. Gin had the advantage since he was wielding his katana with impressive speed, while Naruto block and barely counterattack against him. After a couple of more slash attacks, Gin was able to take the opportunity to kick Naruto in the chest. Naruto was able to cross his arms at his chest to block the attack, but was push back.
Gin took this moment to do hand signs, which he then yelled out, "Fire Style: Flower Phoenix jutsu." Multiple fire balls in the form of birds came flying towards Naruto. Naruto wasn't in a position to dodge or block any of it. Gin thought he had Naruto, but was surprised when shot of water hit the ones that were going to hit Naruto, while letting the other that weren't going to hit him pass by. Gin looked to see that it was Samui who fired the water at them. Samui paid attention to the battle carefully, waiting to jump in and back Naruto up. When she saw Gin fire his jutsu, she quickly performed the hand signs for her to use Water Style: Water Bullet Jutsu to save him from being burned alive.
For 2 to 3 weeks before, Samui has done little training with her water affinity from another jounin that Killer Bee introduces her. She was able to get the just the basic down and know at least 2 c-rank water jutsu.
Naruto turned to Samui and said, "Thanks for the save Samui. I owe you." With a smirk
"You better since I always collect." Answered Samui
Gin looked pissed since he thought he had Naruto, but forgotten all about Samui. It was then that he saw Samui made her way to Naruto's side, where they both nodded at each other and looked towards Gin. They moved quickly at him. Both Naruto and Samui attack Gin at the same time, giving Gin a real run for his money. Gin, however, made sure to keep both of them in front of him so he doesn't get a disadvantage from either one of them.
Both Naruto and Samui continue their assault, but then were surprised when Gin jumped into the air. Samui quickly followed, which Naruto was concerned about. Samui lounge a thrust at Gin, where he parried it. Gin used this moment to use one of his kick to beat back Samui. As Samui fell down, Naruto kept a close eye on Gin as he comes back down to the ground where he quickly went to strike him down.
Once Gin landed, he threw a couple of shurikens that he secretly brought out, at Naruto. Naruto used his sabre claws to block all of them, but then saw Gin performed another jutsu that it gave him. Gin yelled out, "Lightning Style: lightning spark." Gin's jutsu went from his body to the ground where several streams of lighting moved through it in a zigzag pattern towards Naruto and Samui.
Naruto and Samui, once she recovered from Gin's kick, quickly dodge Gin's lightning attack. This is when Gin instantly moved forwards towards Samui take her out since she hasn't yet recovered dodging the attack. Samui looked to see Gin was about to slash her horizontally from her left but Naruto step in and block it with his left sabre claw. Naruto and Gin glare at each other at the position they were in. Gin brought his free left arm up to punch Naruto, but Samui used the position she was in to their advantage. Samui bend down and delivered a kick to Gin's chest as payback from earlier. Gin was force back, which Naruto took it to the next step and brought his other sabre claw towards Gin's chest. Gin brought out a hidden kunai just before Naruto's sabre claw could hit him to block the attack. Gin then tried to kick him, but Naruto backflip away from Gin and landed next to Samui. Both Naruto and Samui went back into defensive stance, getting ready for Gin's next attack.
Gin looked back at Naruto and Samui to contemplate his next move. As he stared at them, he thought, "These 2 brats are skilled, I'll give them that. However, they have been an annoyance for me up to now. I guess it's time I end this now." Which he then brought his own scroll to unravel it and unseal another katana.
Naruto and Samui were beginning to worry since Gin was tough with one katana, but now they had to deal with him 2 katanas.
With Karui and Omoi
Karui continue to fight with Kir, who had gotten the advantage when he started to attack Karui with even faster movements. The only thing that Karui was able to do was block most of his attacks, while some of them gave her scratch or flesh wounds. Karui was breathing deeply when Kir started to get serious. Karui was surprised to see Kir move from his position towards her, intending to impale her, but both of them were surprised when Omoi landed next to Kir and drove a huge kick on his side.
Omoi watch the battle and waited for a perfect opportunity for him to get Kir. Kir felt embarrassed when Omoi hit him since he forgot about Omoi. Kir was able to land safely in the trap zone, avoiding the traps he made for them. Omoi went up to Karui to see if she was fine.
"About time you came down and help me." Karui stated
"Sorry, I wanted to get him off guard. I don't have any weapons, so I needed to wait to get him. So can I borrow some kunai from you?" Omoi asked Karui, who reach for her weapon's pouch and brought out 2 kunai for Omoi to use.
Both of them got ready for them to fight against Kir since Kir was being serious now. Kir instantly moved from his position to being in front of Karui and Omoi with extreme skill. He used his staff blade to swing or impale them with the bladed end. Omoi and Karui were desperately blocking every attack and could barely give a counterattack while being pushed back. Omoi and Karui were breathing heavily, trying to hit anything from Kir, but failing to at least get close enough to do it so. Omoi and Karui decided to switch things around since they are being pushed into a corner, where the corner can bite.
With Naruto and Samui
Naruto and Samui were on the defensive for the past couple of minutes. After Gin unsealed another katana, he was in a war path. Gin moved his swords so elegantly and speed that made it look like blurs that Naruto and Samui could barely keep up with.
After a few minutes of slashes and thrusts, Naruto knew that his sabre claws aren't up for this fight since Gin's have the reach advantage while his sabre claws are only good against close and quick attacks. He knew that Samui's tanto is the only thing that can be on somewhat on even ground against Gin's katanas. He then decided to turn things up.
Naruto step back a bit, which Gin brought his katanas for a cross cut on Naruto, but Samui stepped in blocked both blades with her tanto. Samui struggled to hold back Gin, but she only held him off for a moment or two, which Naruto needed. Gin looked back to see Naruto backflip a bit before jumping into the air and threw both his sabre claws with his wind affinity like a boomerang. The two blades came spinning towards him in 2 directions in a way to slice him in half. Samui sense what going on, which she then fell back and leapt into the air, while Gin lost his footing, but got himself back in action. Gin quickly spin around and drop to the ground to avoid the sabre claws. The sabre claws went pass him, which Gin jump back to his feet, to look at Naruto. But then look back since he heard the same spinning sound coming back towards him. He then jumped into the air and thrust his sword at the sabre claws flat side, bring it to an end of the boomerangs.
Gin was getting tired of fighting both Naruto and Samui, so he decided to end it. But once he landed on the ground after taking care of the sabre claws, he looked up to see Naruto instantly in front of him but now saw him holding 2 wakizashis in both his hands, which he immediately blocked with his katanas.
When Naruto through his sabre claw boomerangs, he immediately crosses both his arms to bring his hands to his shoulders, below the seals that the sabre claws were sealed, and unsealed his wakizashis.
After unsealing his wakizashis, he quickly got up to Gin, where he and Gin fought each other with their swords. Even though Gin's katanas still had the reach advantage cause his swords were longer, Naruto had the time advantage plus his wakizashis gave him an extra length to strike at Gin, even though the wakizashi was still a smaller length.
As Gin continue to hold off against Naruto's wakizashis, Samui quickly followed behind him and used her tanto to strike down Gin. Gin pushed back against Naruto and dodge the tanto strike at him while Naruto backflip away to let Samui land safely in front of him. Gin immediately threw his katanas at them, which they both dodged. Gin instantly ran towards them, which he delivered a few taijutsu attacks at them, which both Naruto and Samui were toss apart from each other as well as forcing them to drop their weapons. Gin then performed hand signs to unleash 2 waves of his Lightning Spark jutsu at them. Naruto got out of the way, while Samui got stung at the leg.
With Karui and Omoi
Karui and Omoi continue to fight with Kir, who pushed them to a corner near the traps Karui and Omoi were completely overwhelmed by Kir's skills. Omoi was had his body slash, as well as punctured by Kir's technique, while Karui had the same problem.
Once Kir had gotten serious, he unleashed his skills with incredible accuracy. He used his staff blade, not only as his primary weapon, but also as a distraction while he brought out other shinobi weapons (kunai, shurikens, and such) with combination of Ninjutsu and shinobi wire. Omoi and Karui were doing everything they can from being tangled up to being impaled by Kir's technique. After a while, they were pushed completely into the corner, where Karui trip a trap that the both of them avoided but got a small slash by Kir.
They both looked at each other, which Omoi asked Karui, "So… do you have a plan B?"
"Nope!" Karui bluntly stated
"So how are we going to beat him?" Omoi wondered
"I don't know since Naruto and Samui are the ones that come up with the plans. But their busy fighting off their leader right now." Said Karui
"If only we can come with some way to make him fall into a trap of ours, then we can take him out easy." Omoi stated
That's when Karui got hit by inspiration. She then looked at Omoi, "That's it. We'll trap him by using his own traps against him." Karui whispered
"I don't think it would work since this guy seems to know where each trap is since he is stepping on the outer line of the safe zone into the trap zone." Omoi replied
"Yeah, but if we can get him to be completely focus on us, then maybe we can trick him on setting off his own traps against himself. It's the only way we can beat him." whispered Karui
"Alright then, let's do it." Omoi agreed while thinking, "There are so many things that can go wrong, like…"
Once they formed their plan, they began to unravel it. Karui and Omoi continue to block and dodge every one of Kir's attacks. After a while of trying to get him to make him misstep on the ground, Karui had enough of this. She quickly drew out a kunai with an explosive tag. She knew that if she or Omoi through explosives on the trap area, they were more than likely to get hit by the after math, but she decided to so a Naruto and go with guts alone.
Kir dodge the kunai strike but notice the explosive tag, while Omoi thought that Karui was nuts. Once the tag exploded, everything around them went nuts. Shurikens and kunai were thrown all around them, Karui blocked all the life threatening throws on her body, but still received hits on her arms and legs where she drop to the ground in pain. Omoi barely dodged all the hits as well, while using the kunai to deflect most of them while getting a stab wound on his lower left side, avoiding a fatal injury. Kir was able to dodge but still got hit by the shockwave from his other explosions. He landed near a safe zone, but because of the current dust cloud, he can't tell on where to move next.
Omoi was barely able to see where Kir landed and guess that this was a risk taker but had no choice to go for it. Omoi quickly ran towards Kir, where Kir spotted Omoi coming towards him. Kir was about to throw a couple of shurikens at Omoi, but Omoi threw his 2 kunai at him. Kir dodges them but lost his focus on Omoi just long enough for Omoi to double leap kick Kir in the chest. Kir was thrown onto his back, while Omoi fell down on his back. When Kir landed, he felt a trap activate, where he was then struck with multiple kunai shurikens, while nothing happened to Omoi. Once the dust cleared up, Omoi looked around himself to see that he was still in the safe zone that Naruto created from Chianti's body. He sighed in gratitude since he wasn't going to die, while he looked over to see Karui was alright, injured but alright. With that, there battle with Kir was over.
With Naruto and Samui
With Samui's leg injured, she wasn't able to move that well, which Naruto quickly tried to get between her and Gin. Naruto was able to get between them, where Naruto did everything to dodge all of Gin's katanas, once he picked them up after throwing them. Naruto was thinking of unsealing the dragon's sword, but he hasn't mastered it. But it was the only thing he had that he can fight with it. Before he can unseal it from his back, Gin kicked hard in the chest and was sent flying away from them. Gin was about to go after him but was able to see Samui threw a couple of shurikens with her lightning affinity to increase the cutting power. Gin blocked the attacks with his own swords with his lightning affinity, but a couple actually hit him but weren't deep. He was completely enrage by the humiliation that both of them were giving him.
"That's it little girl. Consider this as your last move!" yelled Gin where he quickly threw his swords into the air and performed a lot of complicated hand signs in fast action. He then yelled out, "Fire Style: Dragon fire Jutsu!
A large stream of fire came out of Gin's mouth, where it turned into a vicious dragon in fast space. Samui couldn't get away because of her injuries. Naruto saw Gin's insane smile, Samui's scared face and had no second thoughts on what he wanted to do.
Naruto ran forward with everything he had, at the moment, unsealing the dragon sword from behind his back, getting in between Samui and the attack. As he was doing this, he thought, "I don't care if I can't master this sword. I don't care if I have my family's summoning. I don't care what happens to me. I'll protect Samui since she's…" while at the same notion, the sword began to glow as white as the sun.
Samui saw in fear as Naruto pushed her away from the attack, while stepping in and took the attack with his sword in front of him. The fire consumed Naruto in powerful streams, while Gin laughed at how he killed Naruto. Samui yelled out his name as she watches her best friend being burned alive. She screamed his name thinking it was her fault for Naruto being burned alive.
Just as Samui thought the worst, the stream of intense fire separated into 2 separate streams. Gin and Samui wondered what happened, but then saw a bright glowing white light in the middle of the flames in a cutting movement. That's when they both saw Naruto wielding the strange light.
(Yugioh 5D - Shooting Quasar Dragon Theme)
In the middle of the flames, Naruto stood there with his family's cross norman broadsword in a down cutting position while its blade still glow bright white. When Naruto was about to get hit with the fire jutsu, he swung his sword down from his right shoulder with his mind focus completely focus on protecting Samui. It was then as the sword was responding to his feelings, he felt like the sword was now a part of him, like an extension of his arm.
Once Gin stopped his fire jutsu, Naruto picked up the sword and couldn't believe on how light it was. The sword felt light as a feather, yet Naruto can tell that it was still as strong as steel. With that, Naruto prepared to fight of Gin, who was wondering on how Naruto was able to survive his attack as well as the bright light.
Naruto regain his focus on what needs to be done and that was to defeat Gin. It was then that he felt the sword starting to get heavier again, which means that the connection that he had was starting to break apart. He instantly moved from his current position to Gin and started to attack Gin with his sword.
As Naruto was attack Gin, Samui, who was sitting on the sidelines couldn't believe on what she was seeing. At first, Gin had the advantage, but now Naruto and Gin were on even ground. Gin was both of his katanas to attack while Naruto used his broadsword to counterattack. Gin couldn't believe that Naruto was now on his own level in such a short amount of time.
(End Theme)
During the battle, Samui began to notice that Naruto was beginning to struggle on holding onto the sword. She began to wonder if the connection between Naruto and the sword was running out of time. She had to act now in order to help Naruto win this battle.
Naruto and Gin pushed each other back, giving each other some space. This is when Gin notice his katanas were getting completely damaged from Naruto's sword. Naruto was starting to have a difficult time on holding onto his sword. This is the time that Gin decided to increase the anti. Gin thrust the katanas down and performed some hand seals, where he then yelled out, "Fire Style: Surpreme Fire Breath Jutsu!" It was then a jet like flame came flying towards Naruto, like a flame cutter but supremely bigger.
(Rurouni Kenshin – Warrior Suite [time: 4:22-4:50])
Naruto decided to end this battle and do something crazy. He used his sword one more time and ran towards the insane inferno, where Naruto used the sword to cut through the flame. During this time, Naruto was burned a little, where Gin was amazed on what Naruto was doing against one of his strongest attacks. He then saw water being sprayed on him and saw Samui getting behind him to use one of her water jutsu attack to push and splash Naruto with. He stopped his fire jutsu and gotten his katanas where he then channeled his lightning affinity to increase the cutting power of his swords and went in for the kill. Naruto and Gin were closing in on each other, while Samui threw some kunai at Gin with her lighting affinity covering them to increase the cutting power. The kunai pass Naruto, where Gin blocked it with one of his katanas while he had his other katana ready to strike Naruto. In an instant, both of them struck the other. They both stood 10 ft. apart from each other. It was then that Gin said, "I can't believe… that I lost to a bunch of brats." With a raspy voice

Gin fell down on his chest which started to bleed immensely. Naruto stood tall with his broadsword on his right hand which he then drop to the ground since it was now back to being heavy. Naruto panted as he saw Gin lying in a pool of his own blood. The winner was Naruto and Samui.
Naruto went up to Samui, to help her get on her feet and led her near the trap area where Karui and Omoi were now resting on, safe but still in danger. Before they can celebrate, everyone heard a large explosion coming from the direction where Bee and Vodka were fighting. After the explosion, they heard no sounds of fighting. It was a moment or two before they heard someone walking towards them. Naruto and Samui got tense but then relax when they saw Killer Bee coming out into the open.
Killer Bee looked at his students then said, "My, my, from the beating to the beat down, you guys fought ass and took names." With a smile on his face.
Naruto asked Bee on how he took care of Vodka. Bee rapped that he defeated Vodka with a combination of lighting jutsu and partial Hachibi transformation along with using Vodka's own technique.
Once Bee finished the explanation, he helped Naruto get Omoi and Karui out of the trap area and went back to the mining village to get their wound taken care of and to give Karui some needed rest from the stabs that the kunai was given to her arms and legs. Killer Bee sends a message to his brother, Raikage, about the mission and wrote down, "Need medics, but Mission Success!"
Till Next time
P.S. Everyone, the reason that this chapter is so long is because that not only that some people complain about this special saga, but I also got tired of writing this as well and want to get to Konoha's chunin exam saga. The only reason I even wrote this special saga, was because I want Naruto to at least be able to start handling the broadsword before reaching Konoha. If you guys feel that this chapter is kinda weak or not or whatever, I plan to rewrite it later on and balance it out.
P.S.S I still have my poll for "Element Master Naruto". Currently DBZ # 18 and Familiar of Zero, Tiffinia are both tied for 1st place. But things can still change so vote now, but 1 vote only. The girls pictures are still on my profile page.
