Chapter 86: Departure
. . . .
Cole's clones dispelled and he smirked at his son. "Alright then Naruto...lets make this a lesson. First lesson, Taijutsu!" he exclaimed as he charged his son with his shakujo. Naruto readied Kitsune no Kiba and waited for his father. And when the two met, the sound of steel clashing against steel could be heard for miles around.
. . . .
"SHIT!" Naruto exclaimed as he was forced to duck underneath a kick from Cole. He flashed away just in time to dodge the ax kick he followed up with. Once Naruto got far enough away he placed his Hiraishin Kunai in his mouth and summoned one of his black Katana's to use along side Kitsune no Kiba. Cole tsked at his missed attack and scowled at Naruto. "Hey hey hey! It's TAIJUTSU time! No Hiraishin allowed!" he said as he readied his Shakujo. Naruto took a deep breath and steadied his racing heart. He calmed himself and readied himself for Cole's offensive. Cole blurred out of sight along with Naruto as they reengaged each other.
Naruto brought up his katana and blocked a blow from Cole's staff and moved to thrust his tanto into his fathers ribs. Cole merely spun his staff around and knocked both blades away from him. He continued to spin his staff until he brought the butt end of it down towards Naruto's skull. The blonde quickly side steeped the attack and blurred in a yellow burst of speed. He reappeared behind the Rinnegan barer and made for a cross slash with his blades. Cole brought to top of his Shakujo up from behind him and caught it in the middle of the two blades, blocking the attack.
Cole pushed the two swords up before delivering a powerful horse kick to Naruto's stomach. The blonde coughed up a bit of spit mixed with bile as he was sent flying from his position. Naruto skidded across the ground on his feet, maintaining his balance. Once he was able to stop himself he wiped away some blood from his lip and smirked at Cole. "Not bad old man...Now...I think it's time for me to use my full speed on you..." he said between breaths as he crouched slighty, sheathing Kitsune no Kiba and dispelling his Katana. "Kitsune no Jikkou!" he exclaimed as he dashed forward, tuning into a thin line of golden light. Cole's eyes widened as he tried to get into a defensive stance. "SHI-" he was about to say before Naruto made a sliding leg sweep and knocked Cole off balance. Before Cole hit the ground Naruto turned back into a stream of light and blasted Cole into the air with a kick to the stomach. Cole was just able to block the kick but felt his right forearm begin to crack. Naruto disappeared again and again, landing blow after blow on his father as he sped past him, only to turn around and hit him again.
Cole grit his teeth and took the pain. He knew how long Naruto could keep this speed up for and waited for the right moment to strike.
In the crowed everyone was in awe at Naruto's sear speed alone. Not even the veteran Shinobi could follow the blonde as he blurred out of sigh and reappeared with a golden trail. Even Jiraiya, Hiruzen, and Tsunade were hard pressed to follow his movements. And even better, Seinaru was not only taking every single blow, he was still somehow standing. The same thought ran through everyone's mind. "That guys some sort of Juggernaut..."
Cole was panting heavily as some blood dripped down his chin. It had been fifteen seconds since the Fox's Run started, and he smirked. He jabbed out his fist and was able to catch Naruto in mid stride. "CAUGHT YOUUUU!" he roared as he sent the blonde flying through the air, a shock wave erupting from the blow. The sickening crunch of bone was felt on Cole's hand as he felt Naruto's nose break. Naruto bounced and slid across the ground, making small craters as he was launched by Cole.
Once Naruto stopped he slowly stood back up, cracking his nose back into place. He blew the excess blood out of his nose and snarled at Cole. Cole was breathing heavily before he turned his Shakujo back into a Truth Seeking Ball. "Alright...Naruto...Next lesson...Ninjutsu!" he exclaimed as he started running through hand signs. "Katon: Goka Mekkyaku!" he roared as a torrent of flame rolled towards Naruto. The blonde made a half tiger seal as seven swords appeared in mid air. "Fuinjutsu: Kyugen Fuken!" he roared as the seven blades began to glow a bright blue. As soon as the fire came close to the swords it was absorbed into the blades until the jutsu was negated entirely. Naruto made three quick hand seals, Tiger-Monkey-Horse. "Rebound!" he exclaimed as the seven swords pointed towards Cole and jets of fire blasted towards the man.
Cole just raised his hands and absorbed the fire, but was forced to dodge when the swords were sent sailing through the air towards him. When he landed Naruto smirked. "Ninpou: Tajujin Ippatsu!" he exclaimed as the area Cole was in erupted into a mass of clones, all wielding Hiraishin Kunai, aimed for Cole. Before the first Clone could make contact Cole thrust his hands out from himself. "SHINRA TENSEI!" he roared, sending all of the clones flying, dispelling them. Cole took a deep breath and cracks his neck. He smirks at Naruto with an evil glint in his eyes. "My turn..."
Cole brings both hands up and points his palms out towards Naruto. "Naruto! This, is the pinnacle of ninjutsu! A completed version of the Rasengan!" he roared as two Rasengan's appeared in his palms. Wind began to gather between the two glowing orbs before what seemed to be a small tornado was forming in his hands. "Fuuton: Nanafu no Taifu! (Wind Release: Typhoon of the Seven Winds)" he roared as the mini tornado expands and hurdles towards the blonde at unbelievable speeds. Naruto has barely enough time to Hiraishin out of dangers path as the torrent of wind ripped through the ground and tears through the trees, leaving nothing but ruined earth in its wake. When Naruto flashed back into view, there was nothing left of the area he was in. The ground was ripped and tossed around, as well as all of the trees that were behind him. Leaving nothing but a large path of destruction.
Jiraiya was openly gaping at the man. "Impossible..." he breathed. "He...he completed the Rasengan..." He fell back onto the ground and just shook his head, chuckling to himself. Tsunade and Hiruzen were wide eyed at the destructive force of the jutsu, as were everyone else in attendance. "Y-yup...that one's a kinjutsu..." Tsunade said as she tried to recover. Hiruzen nodded. "I second that..."
On the battlefield Cole was panting heavily while sweat poured down his face. He was nearing his finishing point, but not before one last technique. "Bansho Tennin!" he yelled causing Naruto fly over to him, still in shocked awe. He grabs Naruto by the throat and presses a chakra receiver rod to his chest.
"Game over." he said to the blonde. All Naruto could do was nod as Cole but him back down to the ground. Cole flopped down next to him and raised his fist into the air. "Good...fight...now...get out of here before I have to kick your ass again..." he said between tired breaths.
. . . .
It was later that afternoon and Naruto and Jiraiya were walking towards the Main Gates of Konoha. "You sure you're alright?" Jiraiya asked the blonde. Naruto groaned, but nodded anyway. "I think I'm gonna be sore for a week. But other than that, yeah, I'm fine." he said to the Sage. Jiraiya just shrugged. "Whatever you say brat...but to think...that Seinaru would actually be able to perfect the Rasengan..." he mumbled as he hung his head. Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Perfect th-" he started to say before he was interrupted.
"Naruto!" Hinata called from the gates. He looked over to her and noticed the large crowd of people waiting to see him off. He smiled as he and Jiraiya made their way over to them. Hinata ran up and hugged him with all of her strength, trying hard not to cry. "He-hey Hime-chan! You know I'm gonna visit...often." he said to her, trying to get her to calm down. "Don't care." she stated as she held him tighter. He sweatdropped and looked to the others. Kiba, Shino, Chouji, Ino, Shikamaru, Neji, Tenten, Lee, Sakura, Gai, Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma, Tsunade, Anko, Teuchi, Ayame, Hiruzen...they were all there to wish him safety in his travels and good luck. Naruto smiled at them and placed his arms on Hinata's shoulders, gently pealing her off of him. And just as he was out of her grip, a voice came from behind him.
"Good luck Naruto-san." Hiashi said as he walked up to him. The man held out his hand with a stern face. Naruto gulped lightly and shook it. Hiashi's grip was like steel and his face stern, but his eyes. They showed how proud of him he was. "I expect great things from my future son in-law." he said with a slight smirk. Naruto nodded, determination in his eyes. "Yes sir." Hannah and Hanabi walked up to him and gave him a tight hug. "Good luck Naruto-kun." Hannah said to him with a smile. Hanabi gave him a broad smile. "Come back soon Onii-san!" she chirped to the blonde. Naruto chuckled and rubbed the top of her head. "Sure thing Hanabi-chan." he said as the girl whined about her hair. He turned back to the rest of the group and smiled brightly to them.
"Thanks guys. I'll see ya around."
And with that, he and Jiraiya started on their way out of the village. The group starts shouting to him and he looks back.
"Get stronger Naruto!" Kiba howls.
"Good luck Namikaze-san" Shino says.
"See ya Naruto!" Ino and Sakura yell.
"I'll share a meal with you when you get back!" Chouji yells to his long time friend.
Shikamaru just gives him a lazy wave with a smirk plastered on his face.
Lee gives him a thumbs up while crying Anime Tears.
Neji just gives him a smirk and puts his hands in his pockets.
Tenten gives him a big wave while smiling happily next to Neji.
Teuchi and Ayame just smile at him as he walks off and Tsunade and Hiruzen give him a slight bow.
Off to the side he could see Anko tearing up, giving him a small wave goodbye. He smiles at her, a slight tear comes to his eye and he nods to her.
And in the middle of the group was Hinata. A proud smile on her face as she smiles at him. A single tear runs down her faces as she watches her loved one go.
"Goodbye Naruto-kun...Come back soon..."
