I hope that you all enjoy this chapter, I stayed up late (not really) to type this chapter for your amusement.
Chapter Nine
A Nice Day For a Slaughter
Naruto sighed and buried his head in his arms, three god forsaken years. He'd promised himself that he would not use shadow clones and stick it out like Sayuri, who sat right next to him, would have to. He was excited for the Academy and all and his level cap would be raised and all that, but he couldn't focus when everything was so boring. Naruto learned by doing not by studying a scroll.
He didn't know how Sayuri could stay away for all of this. He knew grades were important and he continually aced all his tests and assignments much to the eternal confusion of his teachers. He was also easily the best of all the third year students in terms of fighting ability and grades. So obviously Naruto was the first orphan to be the Rookie of the Year since the time of the Fourth Hokage.
Of course keeping the title wasn't without challengers, which meant that the entire class wanted his spot at the top. Although most of the boys were either muscles heads or super geniuses and couldn't find that sweet spot in the middle like Naruto had. Although most of the time he blamed luck, having a sister like figure sitting right next to you all the time nagging for you to get on with your work was a great motivator too.
"Naruto head up, focus on the board. The teacher is giving a lecture." Sayuri smacked Naruto on the head once and he glared at her with the most menacing look that he could generate.
"Come on, I've got a fox curled around my neck and Sora is sleeping right next to me on the bench, and you expect me to pay attention. This is the perfect opportunity to nap!" Naruto said the last part a bit loud and the teacher honed in on him like a hawk after it's prey.
"Please tell me Mr. Uzumaki, how is class time the perfect opportunity to nap? Just because your partner fox and... dragon, are snoozing the day away doesn't mean that you can as well." The teacher threw a piece of chalk at Naruto with razor precision and Naruto caught it and threw it back before the teacher caught it again and resumed writing on the board. Everybody found it hard to believe that he had a DRAGON, a thought to be extinct race as a partner like the Inuzuka had dogs for partners.
The thought was insane and every time he thought about the reactions Naruto could only laugh. It had been a week into his first year at the ninja Academy when Sora had hatched on him. Sora who was sitting next to him snorted in his sleep and shifted positions. He was a tiny western style dragon, but he was fast enough to out run the dead last of the Academy students and he was strong enough to tear through large branches with ease. His wings were folded up along his back and his scales glowed a bright sky blue color, hence the name Sora, or 'sky'.
He had two little horns next to his mouth like little tusks and bright blue eyes just like Naruto. Naruto had been ecstatic when he learned that dragons, being partial summons when they were born they fed off of the chakra of the nearest person until they were old enough to produce their own chakra at a steady pace (which was 2) and then they lived off of their own chakra which they used in flight. Naruto had also learned that dragons lived off of their chakra and didn't need to eat.
And when he got into the Academy Kakashi had let him take Aurora off the Inuzuka's hands and start taking care of her which meant feeding her, playing with her, cleaning up after her. All that fun stuff but he got two battle partners. Aurora was fast and had sharp claws which could turn her into a buzz-saw of pain and destruction so she could dart in and out of attacks. Sora however when in battle liked to latch onto his back and it allowed for Naruto to gain his favorite advantage in a battle, air superiority. It was the most wonderful thing when you could fly.
Not only could Naruto initiate a link to Sora and feed him chakra so they could fly longer and faster, giving the dragon chakra could allow for Sora to use attacks over his shoulder. Due to his snake like head, when Sora attached himself to Naruto's back, he could still see over Naruto's shoulder and when he had enough chakra Sora could actually breath fire.
It was a nice surprise to enemies who were actually capable of getting close to him when he was in the air. And Naruto's chakra had taken a huge leap from when he just started the academy. Instead of in the seven thousands he started the academy with, Naruto had jumped with his growth. Now it was nearing the twenty thousands. He had found that he had Kage level reserves even in his control wasn't all that up to par. So Naruto had stopped leveling up his techniques, although he kept the shadow clones working on the seals because it was so useful.
Yeah he remembered back to the time that he showed Kakashi his hyper-storage seal. Kakashi had taken him to see the Hokage and Naruto had actually gained an income from making the newly dubbed hyper-storage seals.
Author Style: Flashback Technique
Naruto and Kakashi jumped from the roof tops, heading at a relatively relaxed pace for the seriousness of the situation, Naruto had actually made a seal that could seal literal tons of items. It just appeared to a black circle on a sealing scroll to the brief glance, but to people who took a closer look, they would see the delicate yet hardy micro seals that covered the paper.
Kakashi was amazed, stunned, that a boy as young as Naruto could make such an advanced storage seal, something that seal masters such as Jiraiya hadn't even attempted before. But then again Jiraiya was more focused on sealing in battles and trying to counter Orochimaru's curse seal to even bother with making these types of seals. Both Naruto and Kakashi stopped when they realized that they were about to jump into the wall of the Hokage tower.
They calmly made their way into the tower and walked past the secretary who was so swamped with paper work that she didn't even notice that they were there. Knocking on the door to the Hokage office they waited until they heard the customary "Come in," from the Hokage before they entered.
They were greeted with the Hokage office in all of it's large glory. The Hokage was almost buried with all the paperwork the surrounded him.
"Ah, Naruto and Kakashi. Let me guess, Naruto pranked the Hyuuga's again, or was it the Nara's this time?"
"No Hokage, Naruto here has something he would like you to see." Kakashi patted Naruto on the back and pushed him up the desk.
"Hey old man, take a look. I made it myself!" Naruto gave his trademark smile and passed the scroll onto Hiruzen and then laughed as his eyes seemingly expanded in his head.
"Is this what I think it is?" Hiruzen closed the scroll but held onto it.
"Sure is old man, it's micro sealing. I think I'll call that my patented hyper-storage scroll." Naruto laughed and plucked the scroll from Hiruzen's light grip.
"That's amazing Naruto, I didn't know that you were this talented in seals. I might buy that scroll off of you." the Hokage smiled at his pseudo-grandson.
"I might let you buy it, but then again I might not." Naruto grin seemed a little more sinister as if he was about to ring every last ryo off of the Hokage.
"Tell you what Naruto, why don't you try making a few more of those and selling them to a ninja supply store. It could give you a bit more income than what you're getting from your monthly allowance."
Naruto tilted his head in thought as if considering the idea, "Yeah sure, I'll give it a try. Although making micro seals is a time consuming process it might be a while until I come up with enough to sell."
"I don't doubt it Naruto, sealing takes time but micro sealing can take months to years to complete."
"Thanks for the idea old man! See ya around!" Naruto smiled and waved before he and Kakashi left the office. Sarutobi turned his attention towards his paperwork and found a note on his desk.
You know, using a special technique call "Shadow Clone." might help. -Naruto
PS. (You can buy me all you can eat ramen at Ichiraku's tomorrow!)
Hiruzen stared at the paper before smiling and looking out the window at the sunset that was slowly ending. It was a fine day to be Hokage, he had finally figured out (with the help of Naruto) the secret weakness of paperwork. Shadow clones would be from then on, the Kage's best friend.
Author Style: Flashback Release!
Naruto smiled, it was crippling for the old man's wallet but Naruto enjoy every last second of eating all of the ramen that Ichiraku's had. Of course, he had a stomach ache for a few hours afterwards but it was worth it for the glorious thing that it ramen! Oh sweet wonderful ramen, how you swim in a bowl of heavenly broth and you dance upon the taste buds of man's tongues for minutes on end. Glorious ramen how we, humble man, are slaves to the wonderful tastes of you and all of your ramen glory. Naruto just coughed once and shrugged the thought out of his head, he needed to pay attention or the teacher was going to call him out and ask him a hundred different questions that although were going to be easy to answer, they were going to be troublesome to bother with.
"Mr. Uzumaki, please dig your face out from your elbow you look like you are ready to blow a raspberry and that wouldn't be very nice now would it." The teacher smirked when Naruto rested his chin on the desk instead of in his elbow and glared. Naruto began counting how many times the teacher would piss him off and he would answer with many different types of pranks. He was a famous prankster who could outrun the Anbu and hide from the most experienced trackers. And of course, he could do it with two animal companions and burnt orange on his hoodie.
It seemed like an eternity later when the teacher put down his book and dismissed the class.
"Hallelujah! Praised the gods, and see you hopefully never again because Naruto Uzumaki is leaving the building!" Naruto stood up and shouted before diving out an open window and he disappeared. Leaving a disappointed Sayuri, who was convinced that Naruto had forgotten about Sasuke's birthday. Naruto appeared seconds later to pick up a sleeping Aurora and Sora from their spots before he jumped out a closed window this time, and still disappeared without breaking the glass.
Said Naruto in fact had not forgotten and instead was searching for a suitable dungeon to hopefully farm and gain a wonderful item that he knew his pseudo-brother would love. He knew Sasuke liked tomatoes and training, and weapons, he couldn't forget about the weapons. But he couldn't give him anything from the spiders because it wouldn't sit well with him if he gave lil'Sasu a poisoned weapon that could potentially kill himself or others. Sure weapons were meant to kill, but he wanted to get something that was super awesome and cool and could be used in spars without the risk of killing other students.
Naruto knew that Sasuke preferred shorter blades Naruto knew that, he wanted something that was longer than a meter but not longer than a meter an a half which was short compared to some of the other swords that ninja's used. Naruto knew that the swords he used where as tall and as wide as he was and would only get larger in size as his height and strength grew. There should have a compensation joke in there somewhere, but Naruto wasn't going to laugh at himself until he got a good gift for Sasuke. And then he saw the mystery dungeon, it wasn't anything that he'd seen before and there was a ticking clock next to it.
Limited time Dungeon here now! Only available today.
?
Naruto didn't like going into dungeons without much information but he'd done it once and Kumo and although he almost died Naruto had gained a life long friend quite a few materials and modifiers. Sora poked his head up over Naruto's shoulders. Sora was sitting right were he liked, his tail wrapped around Naruto's waist and his four claws attached each to the left and right shoulders and the spot right above his hips. Aurora was sleeping around his neck like a warm and fluffy scarf but she was also looking at the screen Naruto had up.
Sora nodded and Aurora went back to sleep, so he took that as a yes. Naruto pressed enter, and his world faded to black before it returned in the form of a screen.
You are entering the Frost Mountain dungeon.
Average Enemy Level 30-40
Pause Feature is allowed.
Naruto smiled, this would be an absolute cake walk. His current level, was 45 and he was ready to roll.
Shadow Clones were awesome, and Mikoto was appreciating all that Naruto was doing, which was basically setting up the room for them to celebrate Sasuke's birthday in. She smiled and directed some clones to put up decorations on the wall, and helped some clones balance on top of each other as they began setting up a banner on the wall that said, Happy Birthday Sasuke!
Mikoto smiled, this was going to be a wonderful birthday.
This was going to be a wonderful birthday for Sasuke alright, Naruto was getting all sorts of sweet loot from the Frost Bats that it wasn't funny. Frost Fangs, Frost Wings, Frost Claws! All of them had some sort of frost effect whether it was resisting frost and low temperatures (Frost Fangs), or allowing the user a basic control over frost such as creating weak shields or armor (Frost Wings), or whether it was freezing opponents when you did slashing damage (Frost Claws)!
Naruto was pretty sure that he could get an item that Sasuke would absolutely love, and he wasn't off the first floor yet. The entire caves were covered in a thick layer of ice and it made it pretty hard to get traction, so Naruto being the genius that he was (or that he wants you to believe) used his crystal release and created small little spikes on the bottom of his feet. This helped him get some traction on the ice and allowed him to move easier on it. Although he ended up using a fusion of ice and crystal in order to kill enemies from a distance.
The ice bats, were pathetic for something that was level 30. Yet Naruto felt like it couldn't get any better, the dungeon was giving him free goodies for almost no cost. But there was a nagging feeling at the back of his mind, one that told him he was going to get screwed over by the mini-boss or he was going to be late for the party. And with those quiet thoughts in mind, literally, Naruto picked up the pace. Still collecting money and materials as he could, but he started actively looking for the exit.
Forming a spear in hand, it was a swirl of ice and crystal combining the light blue of his ice, and the lime green that his crystals had turned into recently, he let the spear fly and it impaled a Frost Bat and then stabbed another in mid air, killing two with one shot. Naruto had noticed that lately, the spears that he normally controlled and shot at people glowed. It made a cool effect and he wondered if he could get the spears to look like bolts of lights shooting at people.
Forming a spear out of the lime green crystal, Naruto over charged it with his chakra and manipulated the spear so it flew at the remaining bats that were close to him. The crystal spear was glowing with chakra and it did indeed look like a spear of light heading at his foes. The spear impaled the rest of the bats, swerving and twisting every time that it missed a bat and Naruto was nearly jumping up and down with excitement.
Due to the 1.5 update, special actions can now create skills.
Special Actions created Skill- Crystal Release: Light Spear
Over charges a crystal spear with chakra, enough to make it glow like a spear made of light although the spear is still there the aura of light around the spear is capable of shredding anything that comes close to it.
Special Actions created Skill- Crystal Release: Homing Light Spear
Light Spears that are capable of following and tracking opponents, as long as they have chakra and direction from the generator of the spears.
He'd forgotten that the game had 'updated' a few months ago and it had given him some new features like the party system and the special skills creator. But Naruto was sure that it had added even more dungeons. But shaking his head away from the new skill, Naruto moved on with new vigor. He had a dead line to meet and he wasn't going to be late for the party.
Sora and Aurora were both wrapped up in a layer of his crystals, which were an insulator to heat and didn't let the cold in. Naruto had on a layer of crystal armor, and he was pretty warm even though it was below freezing temperatures in the cave. Continuing on deeper into the cave, Naruto received a message telling him that he was now on the second floor.
So Naruto opened his menu and checked the time, he had five hours until the party and the first time that he entered a dungeon that had the exact same time shift as the outer world, he'd stayed until almost midnight. Of course he hadn't been as smart as he was now and he didn't have the strength he had now. The little boy that Naruto used to be could not compete with the capable young man that Naruto was now.
Naruto walked through the new halls of the dungeon, which were that of a frozen mansion. Everything was covered in a layer of ice, but he could still see the torn up carpet, marble pillars, and frozen drapes. This level had a eerie feeling to it that the last floor did not have but Naruto enjoyed exploring and adventure. Naruto walked around the corner and was greeted with the most wondrous of sights, a pack of snow white wolves growling and snarling at him.
Naruto smirked and formed several spears behind him, and overcharged them with chakra creating his light spears before the wolves launched themselves at him and the spears flew at the wolves.
And the clones were done setting up the room, all that was left was to get the food cooked before Sasuke got home. Hopefully Sayuri was doing her job and dragging the boy all over Konoha, into shops and maybe she was spending a bit of time training with him. She just needed to distract him for five more hours so that Naruto could get a present and they could get the food all ready.
Naruto walked calmly down the frozen halls, the green crystals that acted as an armor glittered in the light that reflected off the ice. He had wondered where the light in the dungeons had come from, but he could never really find where it was. He was just left to assume that everything in the dungeon produced light or that his eyes were affected when entering a dungeon.
With that settled, Naruto made his way over the icy mansion pathways. He had figured out where the mini-boss was, but he had not figured out where the key that he needed to get into the mini-boss room was. That was new, he had not had to collect a key to get into the mini-boss room before but he guessed that the dungeon was special because of that.
Naruto trudged down a corridor and out onto a balcony before observing the mansion courtyard that the balcony over looked. Down below there was a giant courtyard that was the size of a large forest clearing. He couldn't see above the third floor, seeing as he was on the second floor, but Naruto could tell that the second floor was quite extensive. And what it lack in enemies, seeing as he only had seen a few packs of Frost Wolves.
He had seen on a balcony back quite a ways, that he was truly on a mountain or more like a large, very very very large plateau. The top of the mountain from what he could see was completely flat and he guessed that the top was going to be the third or fourth floor. But Naruto couldn't think about the size of this particular dungeon, because he turned around and jogged to the end of the hall, he wanted to conserve his stamina for the mini-boss.
But he had to increase his time, the first level lulled him into a false sense of time, like he could do this within the hour but seeing the size of the mansion and the fact that he had actually had to find a key worried him up. He would probably miss the party. And with that horrifying though in mind, Naruto increased his jog into a run. He had high endurance and over the years it had grown due to him running from the Anbu when he pranked them.
Slowing down a bit, Naruto came into a grand ballroom and looked around. It was freaking huge, and this was just the upper balcony. There was an entire floor below him, and down there Naruto could see a large golden chest that was untouched by all the frost and ice. Naruto turned his head a bit, and looked at Sora, who had rest his head on Naruto's shoulders.
"What do you say buddy, ready to stretch your wings?" Naruto smirked when the dragon eagerly spread it's wings and nodded his head.
Naruto took off into the air, his chakra guiding Sora's wings to where he wanted to go. It was an amazing relationship, Sora provided the wings and occasionally some fire breath and Naruto provided the chakra and direction and together they both could fly. They glided down the bottom floor, and Naruto looked around being careful for enemies. Naruto approached the chest and opened it, although before he could see what was inside it snapped shut and all the doors were quickly blocked by ice. Ten ice pillars dropped from the ceiling and shattered on the floor that Naruto was on.
Ten Frost Skeleton's spawned, and Naruto took off in the air with powerful flaps of Sora's wings. Forming several light spears, Naruto sent them after the skeletons who simply tanked the shots and Naruto frowned. So Naruto began forming hand seals for the first time in the dungeon and called out, "Crystal Style: Hexagonal Shuriken!" In Naruto's hand a large shuriken, one as large as he was easily and he threw the thing. The shuriken flew towards the skeletons, who brought up their swords and attempted to block.
Sadly, many of the skeletons were separated from their bottoms halves and fell to the ground motionless before they disappeared into colorful pixels. Again Naruto and Sora glided down from their spot in the air. Again he tried to open the chest and this time it stayed open but the only thing that Naruto found inside it was an item labeled "Heart-shaped Jewel" Naruto thought back to the mini-boss room.
It did have a weirdly shaped key slot and Naruto had a realization, maybe the jewel was the key. He had heard of certain doors that required special items instead of keys and maybe this was the time. He found it rather quickly, so maybe it couldn't be true, or maybe he just had insane luck. Another look at his time he had four hours left. He would have to hurry up.
Naruto flew up towards the second floor again, and then took off at a dash, hopefully the Heart-shaped Jewel would be the key to the mini-boss room but if it wasn't he'd end up spending another hour that he couldn't afford in the icy mansion and it would be really bad if he missed the party. After what seemed an eternity of running, Naruto managed to reach the mini-boss room at the top of a tower in the middle of the mansion. Catching his breath bit, Naruto took the jewel out of his inventory and slid it into the slot on the door, and the door swung open silently and ominously.
Inside looked to be a giant bedroom, only it was missing the bed and the dresser and everything that would've made it a bedroom. Naruto only got the feeling that it was supposed to be a bedroom. There was a terrible screeching sound that woke up Aurora and made both Sora and Naruto flinch.
Frola the Frozen Serpent has Awoken!
Level 50
Health- 20000
From the ceiling slithered a large serpent, easily enough to swallow Naruto whole. All three of them gulped a bit, Naruto had never wanted to be eaten and Aurora and Sora didn't like any animal that was that big. Naruto grinned uneasily, and began forming hand seals, blazing through them at a high jonin pace. "Ice Release: Sub Zero!"
The ice covering the floor jammed into the bottom of Frola as it was in mid air, lunging to swallow Naruto and his companions whole. Naruto jumped out of the way when the serpent broke free and then turned to chase after Naruto who decided that being in the air was the safest place. Taking to the air, Naruto settled in a nice place right in the middle of the chamber.
Only to be surprised when Frola started slithering up the walls only to leap out at Naruto who quickly swerved underneath the serpent to drive a large spike into it. Yet the spike only broke off against the tough armor of the snake and Naruto flew up towards the ceiling. If spikes and swords weren't going to do the trick then Naruto was going to use his next favorite thing, giant hammers!
"Ice Crystal Combo Release: Fusion Hammers!" Naruto slammed his hands together in a snake seal and two large sledgehammers formed in the air only for Naruto to take a hold of them. Sora brought in his wings and Naruto began falling towards Frola who was recovering from the fall that it took. Naruto brought forth his hammers and slammed them both into the back of Frola.
The serpent screeched, and it's tail slammed into the ice on the floor. Frola desperately tried to get away from Naruto who was sitting on it's back slamming his hammers into it's back at his leisure. It was only when the serpent started slithering up the walls did Naruto take to the air again. The serpent quick to attack, leaped at Naruto who simply threw one of his hammers at it and increased the size of his remaining hammer.
The hammer he threw missed but when he swung his now larger hammer it struck the serpent in the side of the head and sent it flying into one of the walls before it fell to the ground stunned for the moment. Naruto flew up to the ceiling before dropping, spinning like a hammer/buzz-saw before he struck the serpents head with his larger hammer. This time, Naruto was trying to get away when the ice on the back of the serpent shot up in spikes to defend Frola.
The serpent seemed to be laughing now, with it's weird hisses. Naruto growled before he patted Aurora, "Ready to get some action Aurora?"
The fox seemed to smiled before it jumped off of Naruto and attached itself to the wall, allowing the crystal armor on it to increase the size of it's claws. Spikes shot up from the crystal armor on Aurora's back and she began spinning like a crystalline buzz-saw of death. Naruto attached his wires to her and sent her flying at the serpent who was slithering up the wall towards Naruto in the air.
At the angle that Aurora was approaching Frola, she was going to give him an unwanted buzz-cut. Naruto increased the size of his hammer until it was easily twice his size, and Aurora spun right through the ice spikes on Frola's back, allowing for Naruto to come in for the clean up. Naruto slammed the larger and heavier hammer into Frola, whose performance in the battle was quite poor.
When Frola fell to the ground, a dark aura appeared around it and Naruto wasn't having any of that. "Crystal Release: Cross Pillar!" Two giant pillars of crystal, both with sharpened ends flew and Frola in an X formation before spearing the back of the head and the middle of the serpent who writhed under the giant pillars before remaining still, and then it exploded into pixels.
Naruto quickly dropped from his position in the air and grabbed what the mini-boss dropped, it wasn't really anything special. He guessed the reason the boss seemed so easy was that he had the ability of flight. The snake was most likely supposed to have the advantage in maneuverability but with Sora, Naruto could fly and easily dodge the serpents rather unoriginal attacks.
Sighing Naruto continued into a appearing passage way onto the top of the mountain. He was right, it was rather flat up on the mountain, other than the mounds of snow that were pilling up in the soft snow that was falling. Naruto sighed, he had no idea where he was supposed to go.
2 Hours Later...
Naruto was freaking out, he'd only just entered the last floor of the ice dungeon. The mountain top had been large, impossibly large and he had just found the cave that he was supposed to enter. He had to hurry if he was going to make it to the party on time! Rushing through the hallways of the frozen fortress Naruto looked around for anything that could resemble anything close to a boss room, and he nearly passed the giant doors in the hallway to his left.
He'd taken almost half an hour to find the spot, and he was freaking out and tired enough to take a million military rations pills. But instead he simply opened the door, and fell into the pit that was behind it! Dammit, Sora should've pulled him up, if Sora was on his back anymore. Instead both Sora and Aurora were in a floating bubble above him and he was freefalling.
Giant claws formed on his hands and feet, and Naruto angled himself to crash into the wall before he grabbed a hold of the icy wall with his claws and slowed his descent, before scrambling down the rest of the way, only to find the boss already waiting for him.
Grey,The Undead Ice Make Mage
Level- ?
Health-?
Naruto cursed, his partners weren't allowed in this battle and he was almost out of stamina and chakra. Naruto nervously laughed before the boss set itself to attack.
The clocked chimed and Sayuri and Sasuke walked in the door to the room, and Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise. His mother was standing there with a party hat and a bit of confetti that she threw in his direction.
"Happy Birthday Sasuke!" Mikoto cheered and she smiled at her son who just looked around at the decorations and presents.
"For me?" Sasuke asked, pointing at himself.
"For you, it's your special day after all lil' Sasu." Sayuri smiled before patting him on the back, "Hey where's Naruto, I thought he would be here?"
"Naruto is retrieving a very special present for Sasuke, and he said to have cake and presents without him seeing as it would take a bit of time. He's put quite a lot of effort into getting you a nice gift Sasuke, so I hope you can forgive him for being late." Mikoto frowned a bit before her usual soft smile returned to her face.
There was a scream outside, and all three of them stopped moving before rushing outside to see what the problem was. Outside, covered in blood was Itachi holding an equally bloody sword. A dead man had fallen on the ground, his head severed from his body. Itachi stared at the three, he had only been promised that he could keep Sasuke alive.
Sayuri and his mother would both have to die.
For Sayuri it was the single most terrifying moment she'd ever had in her entire life. Itachi rushed her with his sword held high, intent on splitting her right half from her left half and for a moment she could see things clearly. It all happened in slow motion, Itachi's sword came rushing down on her head and then it was knocked out of the way by something lime green.
Like a camera flashing several pictures a second, Naruto with lime green claws on his hands and feet came out of nowhere to tackle Itachi and at the same time a few clones came to protect the three who stood there in horror at the murder they just witnessed and their near death experience. Sayuri felt like she was watching everything while also blinking a million times a second.
"Stand back, boss has got this." one of the clones said, smiling and hugging Sasuke close. Another comforted Sayuri and two more helped Mikoto stay on her feet.
Naruto however had summoned two swords as large as he was made out of crystals and was on a rapid, rage filled assault against Itachi.
"You bastard! How dare you attack them, does your own clan mean nothing to you! You have parents who respect you, siblings who love you! Does that mean nothing to you?" Naruto shouted before slamming both of his swords into the ground where Itachi was, but the man was nimble and dodged.
Naruto disappeared and appeared behind Itachi, who only blinked in surprise as he ducked and rolled out of the way of a double sword swipe that would've split him into pieces.
"I was unaware of you having enough speed to make you invisible to even the Sharingan Naruto." Itachi said calmly, but in his mind he thinking about how Naruto could've done that. Maybe the Uzumaki had some sort of teleportation bloodline, or maybe he could perform the Fourth Hokage's signature move? Both sounded crazy, but he couldn't rule anything out just yet.
Itachi engaged again, and Naruto forsaking his swords for just carving his opponent up with his razor sharp claws charged in, rage fueling him at that point. Naruto roared as he shoved his claws towards Itachi's head, intent on cutting off his head. Itachi, making full use of his Sharingan dodged the claw strike and instead tried to impale Naruto on his sword.
Naruto twisted in mid air and sent a kick towards Itachi's mid-section that rattled his spine a bit. Itachi's frown deepened and he realized that he might now be able to beat Naruto in taijutsu. So he jumped back and began forming handseals, but surprisingly Naruto had done the exact same thing and was copying all his handseals! Itachi couldn't believe it! It was like Naruto had the sharingan, but that was impossible because he wasn't of the clan.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!" Both Itachi and Naruto shouted in unison before both blowing out giant fire dragons that flew out at the other, intent on killing the other. Both the dragons exploded in the middle of street in the Uchiha district mildly destroying the buildings around them, a testament to how durable the wood that Konoha used in it's construction.
Itachi used this time to rush into the smoke thrown up by the explosion, he would kill his sister and mother and leave before Naruto could stall him any longer. But to his surprise, Itachi almost ran into a lime green and sky blue dome. His sister and mother were safe for now, Itachi's mission had failed, and some of the family was safe behind the dome and Itachi didn't know if he could break it.
He would have to run from Konoha, his mission partly failed in the sense that his sister and mother were still alive. Turning around he ran out of the Uchiha district and fled from Konoha, his mission failed. Naruto however blew away the dust and ran over to Mikoto, Sayuri, and Sasuke who were all shaking in their boots a little bit. They had almost been killed by Itachi their family member.
Naruto released the dome and ran up to them, giving them all a great big hug after the crystal claws had faded away.
"You're okay now, he's not going to hurt you." Naruto rocked the siblings back and forth while his clones help Mikoto.
"Why would he do that? It's my birthday, why would he try to kill the clan on my birthday?" Sasuke grabbed onto Naruto's shirt and cried, why did this have to happen to him. He was just ten and yet he had to deal with this kind of tragedy? It just wasn't fair.
"It's alright now, I'm here for you lil'Sasu, there's nothing to fear. But you're going to have to let go if you want your present." Naruto smiled weakly down at Sasuke who didn't want to let go of him.
"What is it?" Sasuke sniffed, letting go for just a second.
Naruto seeminly stuck his hand into thin air and pulled out a sword. The blade was a meter long and made from almost translucent glass looking material."
"It's a Spartan sword made from malachite, a extremely durable and chakra conductive metal that looks like glass when fired at high temperatures and then cooled in a special mineral water."
"What's it called?" Sasuke asked, looking at the sword the massacre almost erased from his mind.
"That's for you to decide." Naruto smiled and handed the sword over to Sasuke.
My god! That's what I call a chapter! I hope that you all enjoyed the chapter, and the little reference to Fairy tail (It's a great series). If you want information on what Sasuke's sword looks like, then just search Spartan Sword, I own none of the pictures by the way. Just imagine instead of grey steel it's made of nearly indestructible green tinted-glass.
Remember, for Sora looked up blue eyes baby dragon and again I own none of the pictures.
