Kale's POV
"Hmmm." I opened my eyes to check.
Naruto and I had been out in this barren field outside of town so he could practice his Rasengan while I meditated and worked on my summoning, I was actually getting a little bit better, calling out more than just a few tiny fire sprites. Naruto on the other hand could barely make a dent in the trees.
Day after Day Naruto beat on those trees but not a single one shattered like he wanted. The blasts were getting more impactful but they weren't destroying the tree.
"Come on Naruto, you've leveled this whole field, let's get back and rest for the day."
The trees has been beat up so much they've almost all fallen over, but none are shattering.
"Ugh!" Naruto groaned.
"Fine let's go." I said dragging him off.
Later
"Haa…" I sighed waking up in bed.
Shizune and Miss Tsunade did a little first aid on Naruto before putting him to bed. He was exhausted from all his training, six days nonstop does that too you.
"Hmm…" I sat up "Shizune why are you sleeping on the floor?"
"WHA?!" she quickly sat up "What day is it?"
"Monday." Naruto blinked sitting up.
"Wait you fine?" she said looking at Naruto.
"I always heal after a goodnight's sleep." Naruto shrugged "Anyway where's the old lady, today's the day."
"You two stay here!" Shizune commanded running to the window "HA!"
"What the heck?" Naruto looked out the window.
"Let me see!" I complained trying to see by them.
"Hang on…" Jiraiya panted.
"Could…use a hand over here." Uncle groaned.
"Are you two hungover?" I asked.
"No you idiot!" Uncle yelled whacking me with his staff "Tsunade drugged us! Chakra levels are all over the place."
"Aren't you the one who always brags about being so incredible!" Naruto yelled!
"I shouldn't be surprised Tsunade's the only one who's able to make a tasteless and odorless drug that." Jiraiya sighed.
"Well then, I think it's time we all get the whole story." I said looking at Shizune "Got something you wanna get off your chest?"
"What did you talk about with Orochimaru, tell us." Uncle instructed.
"I…tried to believe in Tsunade that's why I chose not to say anything." Shizune sighed "We don't have much time follow me and I'll explain as we go."
As we started moving Shizune explained that a week ago Orochimaru had arrived and made a request of Tsunade, in exchange for fixing his arms he would use his Inhuman Resurrection to bring back the people she loved most.
"If she does end up fixing his arms who knows what he'll do." I said "The smartest thing to do is stop him right now."
When we got to the temple from earyier in the week the place was a wreck, someone had smashed the ground and run off.
Did she refuse.
Lucky for us Shizune's pig was like a little bloodhound and was able to lead us to Tsunade who was engaged in combat with Orochimaru. There was another man there but it was hard to get a look at his face from our angle.
"Kale!" Uncle instructed
"Quas, Quas, Quas!" I moved my hands as we closed in "Cold Snap!"
I froze then man and brought us enough time to get in front of Tsunade and block for her.
"So you two showed up." Orochimaru said looking at Uncle and Master Jiraiya.
"You look almost the same." Uncle laughed
"Same dead eyes." Jiraiya added.
"Oh it's you." The man with Orochimaru said looking at Naruto and I.
"AHH!" Naruto pointed "It's Kabuto."
"So that's how it is." I sighed.
"Move it!" Tsunade pushed passed Jiraiya only to have Kabuto slit his own wrist and drench her in blood.
"RAH!" Kabuto punched her back but Shizune quickly caught her mentor.
"Wait what's going on?" Naruto asked.
"You're that dense?" I said "That guy is working with Orochimaru! Can't you see the music note on his band."
"You're so thick headed." Kabuto sighed "This is why you can't compare to Sasuke. Though all my studies I concluded that you Naruto, have zero talent as a ninja."
"Hmm…" Naruto just glared at the boy.
"No reason for such a rude look." Kabuto said "compared to the other people around you right now…you're dead weight, if you try anything I'll kill you."
"The hand." I told Naruto.
"Right!" he yelled running forward.
You can only keep him leashed for so long, time to start.
"Alacrity!" I quickly threw a boost onto Naruto and the clones he made.
Naruto went to attack Kabuto's weak side only to get blinded by the boys blood. Kabuto flipped the attack back on Naruto and sent him flying with a toss, Shizune caught my partner and spit something at the enemy.
"Tornado!" I quickly threw out a cyclone and dropped Kabuto down "Ice Wall!"
I conjured up a frozen line to lock his feet down, even with our combined attack Kabuto's headband blocked Shizune's needle shot.
"Shizune you handle the glasses guy." Jiraiya said "I'll deal with Orochimaru."
"Kale back her up like I taught you." Uncle said holding his staff out "I've got your back Jiraiya."
"What about me?!" Naruto yelled.
"Uh…protect Tsunade and the pig."
"But I wanted to fight too!" Naruto yelled.
"These guys are out of your league, and Kale is only providing support he's not in direct combat." Jiraiya said biting his finger "Now Summon!"
Both Kabuto and Jiraiya summoned a creature, on Orochimaru's side was a massive snake and on ours was…a tiny toad.
"What the hell?!"
"It's the poison you dolt!" Uncle yelled slamming his staff down "Our chakra's all screwed up remember."
"Then I'll do it!" Naruto said making hand signs "Summon Jutsu!"
"Hey how's it going?" a tiny frog appeared.
"You're not better!" I snapped.
Orochimaru's twin snakes crashed into the ground and made us scatter. I stayed by Shizune to back her up and protect Tsunade while Naruto tried not to get smashed by the snake.
"Crypt Swarm!"
I pushed my hand out and sent a wave of bats and gas at Kabuto to get him away from Shizune.
"BHAAA!" Shizune opened her mouth and breath out a poison gas "I think I got him."
"Under you!" I yelled as the ground split open and Kabuto jabbed his thumbs into her ankles.
"GAHH!"
"Chaos Meteor!"
I pulled Shizune back as a large flaming boulder fell from the sky and smashed into the earth. I slammed my hand down and summoned a small demon imp, it had no mouth a pair of horns and two large fists.
"Quick get him."
"Right!" It grunted punching Kabuto in the stomach.
Kabuto suddenly vanished.
A substitution?!
I got ready to attack again only to get poked in the side.
My muscles…
I slumped down to the ground as I lost the ability to move. Kabuto left Shizune and I on the floor before going after Tsunade, who was luckily blocked by Naruto.
Good he's still moving.
Naruto quickly tried for a Rasengan but whiffed hard when Kabuto ducked. Each time Naruto would try and attack Kabuto would swat him away and berate him for even trying to fight him, the difference in power was astounding but Naruto kept going.
"Alacrity!" I raised my hand and gave Naruto a boost "Now go!"
When Kabuto came in to stab him Naruto grabbed the attacker's kunai, let himself get stabbed and put the whirling chakra ball to his opponent's abdomen.
"Rasengan!"
The blast sent Kabuto spinning and shot him back through stones.
"GAH!" Naruto coughed up blood and fell over.
"Naruto!"
Even with Naruto's strongest attack Kabuto was able to take it and already heal his injuries. Even with his healing powers Kabuto wasn't able to heal fast enough and he fell to the floor.
"I still win!" Kabuto yelled "His heart is failing, the blood flow is being cut off."
"You shut up!" Tsunade yelled doing what she could to save Naruto.
"Ha…" Naruto suddenly reached up and grabbed Tsunade's necklace "I won…"
"Idiot…" she sighed taking off her jewelry and giving it to him.
"Die!" Orochimaru suddenly jumped down and started aiming right at Naruto.
I've got nothing I can do.
"GAAAH!" Tsunade slid in front of Naruto and blocked the sword, getting sliced through the chest in the process.
"Why did you do that?" Orochimaru hissed "I was aiming at the boy."
"I did it…to protect the village." She said "Because, someday this boy…he's gonna be Hokage."
"That title is garbage, only a fool would want it."
"Then…I must be a fool!" Tsunade said getting up and punching him "Because I just decided to become number Five!"
The mark on the middle of her forehead had changed shape and extended down her face like a tattoo.
He Chakra flow just went way up.
With the release of one seal Tsunade's body was suddenly good as new, no cuts, no blood.
A healing Jutsu that strong must have a downside.
"Hmph." Tsunade took the blood still on her lips and pressed it onto her palm.
"Kabuto hurry up!" Orochimaru commanded holding his arm back.
"HM!" Jiraiya and Uncle we're also taking blood off.
"Summoning!"
"Chaotic Offering!"
Suddenly a giant Snake, Toad, Slug and Demon covered in fire and metal appeared.
"What the hell is that?!" I yelled look at the flaming beast with a head like a bear trap.
"A demon from one of the deepest circles." The imp I had summoned explained "It's rare for him to come out like this. You should fall back punk this is gonna get big."
"Come on" I started dragging Shizune off.
Suddenly a slug fell out of the sky, Naruto was on its back.
"Tsunade must have sent him to us, quickly we need to get out of here." Shizune explained.
"Tell me something I don't know!" I snapped as the fight started behind us, the earth was rumbling and things were being hurled all over.
Shizune hid behind a rock outcropping not too far from the fight, watching four legends and their summons duke it out like that was incredible. In the end though we were the victor, Naruto was stable and Orochimaru had fled in defeat.
"He'll live." Tsunade said before grabbing her chest "Dammit already?"
"Hmm?"
"Side effects from her Jutsu." Shizune explained to me "By using it Tsunade's appearance reverts to its older…true, form it will revert in a hour or two."
"Damn you really are an old hag." I laughed looking at the woman.
"Shut up brat." She wheezed.
"I'll keep your secret." I smiled "You'll just have to owe me one."
"I want to kill you so much." She hissed "Let's just go back to the hotel, once Naruto wakes up we can go back to the village."
