Chapter 34: Fox vs Demon

. . . .

Everyone stopped, even Zabuza's clones when they heard the scream. They turned their heads to see what they thought would be a dead Genin. But what they saw, surprised them more than anything.

Naruto was holding Zabuza by both of his wrists, stopping his kunai from hitting him. A small shroud of red chakra enveloped him. Naruto opened his eyes and stared into Zabuza's. "You wanted to see a demon? Well here I am!"

. . . .

"What the-" was the only thing Zabuza could say before a blur of blonde hair smashed into his face and sent him flying. He skidded on the ground and rolled to his feet. He gingerly touched his now broken nose and glared daggers at the kid who broke it. He then looked to the shocked shinobi around him and his equally shocked clones. "Well, the fuck do you think your doing! Kill the fuckers!" Zabuza roared at his clones. They turned back to the other shinobi and continued fighting.

Sasuke was being press fighting just one clone. He was distracted and letting the clone get into his guard too many times. He was awe struck by the display of power that Naruto was showing, and he was furious. "What the hell! That Dobe should be nothing compared to me! I'm an Uchiha damn it! Why is he stronger than me!?" He mentally growled. He turned his attention back to the clone right as it struck him in the gut, sending him flying. "You should really pay attention. It just might keep you alive long enough to make this interesting." Clone said with a sadistic chuckle.

Sasuke got up and growled at the clone. "I can't lose to someone like you! I'm the last Uchiha! You are nothing to me!" He roared as he charged the clone with a new found strength.

Kiba was held up by two clones and was trying to deliver a hit with his Getsuga, but he was narrowly missing and dodging attacks. Shino was able to take one of the two clones he was fighting down when he caught it in a swarm of Kikaichu, but now that the other clone was on the look out for any bugs and was proving to be more difficult for the young Aburame.

Hinata had been faring well for herself. The Zabuza clone she was facing was smart to not get into a physical fight with her. One hit to any of his tenketsu and he would pop. So they were having a game of keep the clone away from the Hyuuga. Sakura was backing Hinata up from a distance with the occasional kunai while she stood next to Tazuna 'protecting' him.

Kurenai already took out two of the four clones after her and she was slowly working her way to take down the last two. She knew it would take her and at least Kiba and Naruto to take down the original, but to her surprise Naruto was actually pushing the rouge Anbu back.

. . . .

Zabuza glared at the blonde who was pushing him back. "Hey brat, the fuck is with that red chakra?" He asked. But he was only answered with a feral growl. Naruto blurred out of sight and appeared next to the mask man. Zabuza brought up a kunai and blocked the first sword, but had to dodge the second. This gave Naruto the opening he was looking for. He through a kunai at him and flew through a series of hand signs. "Kunai Kagebunshin no Jutsu!"

One kunai became fifty and continued on their path to Zabuza. To the mans credit he blocked all but five, and those five only grazed him. "Ninpou:Kagebunshin Tetsuotome Gi" Naruto shouted and ten of the kunai turned into Naruto clones and attempted to stab the Demon of the mist, but ended up killing a rabbit that he used for a Kawarimi. Naruto looked around for his target. His head snapped around to where he could sense the building of a lot of chakra and looked over to the water. Zabuza was standing on top of hit and roared, "Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu! (Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique)" A massive water dragon came out of the water and charged Naruto.

Naruto used a Kawarimi with one of his clones and let the dragon kill that instead of him. Naruto then went through his own hand signs and took a deep breath. "Fuuton: Renkudan! (Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet)" He slammed his palm on his stomach and let out a powerful torrent of wind. Zabuza didn't have the time to dodge so he just cut off the chakra to his feet and dropped into the water.

Naruto smirked as he and two of his clones saw this. They each did the same set of hand signs. "Raiton: Raisho! (Lightning Release: Thunder Palm)" They said at the same time. A shroud of lighting covered their hands and the drove their hands into the water Zabuza was still under. They applied more chakra into the palms and the lighting became more intense.

After a moment they stopped and Zabuza crawled out of the water slowly, his muscles jolting every other movement. He slowly tried to stand up, but ended up leaning against a tree. With the his now lack of chakra and heavy damage, his clones dispelled and that let the others on Naruto's team to join them.

When Naruto saw them coming he cut the supply of Kurama's chakra. That, was a mistake. He pitched forward and nearly fell on his face due to the sudden chakra exhaustion. He was caught by Hinata and Sakura and they held him up right. Kurenai walked forward with a kunai in her hand. "Well, looks like this is the end for you Momochi Zabuza." she said as she brought the kunai up to through, but stopped when she saw two senbon impale his throat. A hunter ninja came down to the now 'dead' Zabuza and picked up his body.

The hunter turned to their group. "Thanks for giving me the opening. I've been hunting him for months and just got him." He said with a soft voice. Kurenai smiled and nodded to the hinter ninja. The hunter left with Zabuza's body. But right before they left Naruto weakly tried to stop them. "W-wait, he's...still...alive!" He said while panting. But as soon as they left he couldn't sense them anymore. He cursed under his breath and fell to unconsciousness.

"Naru-kun!" Hinata said in distress as he fell unconscious. She laid him down on the ground and checked his vitals. She let out a sigh of relief. He was only suffering from chakra exhaustion, but when she used her Byakugan, she gasped. "He has multiple cracked ribs and a broken collar bone!"

Kurenai's eyes widened at the fact that he was injured so heavily, yet he continued to fight like nothing hit him. Besides the injured bones, he also had several cuts on his body and his coat and shirt were basically shredded. "We need to treat his injuries as soon as possible! Tazuna, how far is your home?" She asked with a forceful tone.

Tazuna responded quickly. "Another mile up the road."

"Ok team, we going to move quickly." She said as she picked up Naruto and turned to move.

. . . .

A few minutes later they arrived at Tazuna's home and were greeted by a woman around the same age as Kurenai. "Father your home!" She said in a happy tone. She then paled when she saw the bleeding child in the woman's arms. "Come in quickly! Inari! Get me some hot water right now!" She said as she rushed back into the house.

They hurried into the house. The woman turned to Kurenai and said quickly, "My names Tsunami, follow me, there's a room we can use to treat him."

Kurenai nodded and followed the woman. They laid Naruto's bleeding form down on a futon and a little boy brought a bucket of hot water. "Thank you Inari," Tsunami said as she started cleaning the blood off of the boy on the ground. Inari didn't reply but just angrily looked at Kurenai and Naruto. "Why are you even here?" He asked. "You just going to die!" He yelled as he ran from the room.

Tsunami sighed as she began to bandage Naruto. "Sorry about him, hes had it rough recently...we all have..." She mumbled the last part, but Kurenai was able to catch it. She decided to let it go and turned her attention to Naruto.

She almost gasped when she saw one of his cuts already healing. When Tsunami saw it, she did gasp. "H-how?" She asked no on in particular. She shook her head and asked Kurenai, "What all is wrong with him?"

"A few fractured ribs and a broken collar bone, here I'll go get Hinata, she can help you with this more than I could, she's the only one of us with any form of medical training." Kurenai said as she left the room.

A small girl with lavender eyes came through the door and adressed Tsunami with a slight bow. "I am Hyuuga Hinata." She introduced herself. "H-how is Naru-kun?" She asked.

Tsunami smiled at the girl. "He's not in danger or anything. Actually his wounds are already healing. I just need your help setting his collar bone."

Hinata nodded and helped to the best of her ability.

After a few minutes they had Naruto bandaged and his bones set. They left the room to let the boy rest and went into the living room with everyone else.

Sakura looked to Tsunami and asked the obvious question. "How is he?" Tsunami let out a slight sigh and said, "He's out of immediate danger and should heal up nicely, but it'll take a while, broken bones can take a while."

Hinata spoke up and said, "A-actually his bones were already beginning to mend and his cuts were already half way healed. I'll think he'll be back and ready in about a week."

Everyone looked at her in disbelief. Kiba openly gaped. "How is that possible?!" He half yelled half asked. Hinata just shrugged. "I don't know. For as long as I've known him he has been a quick healer."

Sauske growled. "When he wakes up, I'm gonna get him to tell me how he got this strong. I won't let that Dobe be better than me."
