chapter 36.
Sakura was ecstatic as she looked into the strange eyes of Sorrow. She didn't know much about her abilities, in fact she only seen her twice and that was when Naruto had brought Hinata back to life, and even then she wasn't really doing anything. It didn't matter it was her time to shine, she wanted to show off her new skills. She wanted to impress everyone and becoming a chunin was the best way, she wasn't under any illusion though, Sasuke had told her to be careful. She didn't know if he was being kind or he just knew she was going to be put under a lot of pain.
"Are you sure you don't want to give up? Your other friends have already forfeited. If you were smart you would've done the same." Sorrow said quietly, breaking Sakura out of her thoughts. Sakura frowned.
"Why will I surrender to Ame scum like you that kill defenseless kids for the kick of it?" Sakura retorted. Sorrow cocked her head to the side.
"That Hyuga girl? I was against killing someone so weak but my brother could get carried away at times." Sorrow said sighing but there wasn't any regret in her voice.
"You don't sound to apologetic!" Sakura yelled. Sorrow smirked.
"Why should I be? I have no bonds with her, to me she was just some random girl from another country. That is what happens in the shinobi world. It's either kill or be killed, the person you last thought will betray you, will if ordered too and your Hokage will send you to your death if a war were to brake out. That is just how the world works, but I'm working towards something better, bigger and for that I have to accept that what my brother did was correct. Now please forfeit, I do not feel like killing you." Sorrow said the last part darkly before her eyes glowed.
Sakura didn't respond instead she activated her Kenzuko-ken and dashed forward at amazing speed. Each one of her steps, causing a small crater. She reached Sorrow in seconds and jumped into the air with her hand cocked back.
"SHANNAROOO!" She yelled as she brought the fist down.
Sorrow looked at the girl and was impressed, her eyes could clearly see the dense layer of earth chakra that surrounded her, and the concentrated amount of chakra flowing down her arm and into her fist. She raised one hand.
"Shinra Tensei." The ground shook as Sakura was sent flying about 30 feet in the air, she felt like she was hit by a brick wall, she could feel a couple of her ribs were broken, her right arm was bent in a way it shouldn't be and she could already feel her lips dripping blood.
Sorrow wasn't done, she put a little more power into that Shinra Tensei. The main goal was to test the Jinchuriki power not waste time squabbling with a baby. Raising her hand a black rod appeared.
"Banshu tenin!" Sakura body was rushed forward, and Sorrow smirked, this was fun. Before she threw the rod like a dagger at the falling Sakura.
Anko played with the idea of stopping the rod but she really didn't want to, plus it wasn't aiming for anything too deadly.
The rod went straight threw Sakura arm. Ripping through the flesh like a hot knife through butter. Sakura was still being pulled towards Sorrow from her last technique.
Sorrow nodded when she felt Sakura was low enough before she jumped up grabbing Sakura by the neck and slamming her straight into the ground.
She noticed Sakura was already unconscious but she didn't stop squeezing her neck. Before she felt her hand being yanked away just as she was pushed.
Anko sighed as she look at the broken body of the girl. If it was anyone else like the Uzumaki daughter she would've proudly let the blue head girl kill her. But killing someone that was already unconscious was a little above her crazy level.
"Sakura is unable to continue, Sorrow is the winner. Medic!" Anko yelled ignoring the crowds chants of joy.
Genin room.
Morn smirked at the display of power by Sorrow, when he told her not to play around he wasn't exactly telling her to go all out. After all she was the strongest out of all of them, the other girl didn't really stand a chance, nobody here would.
Sorrow ignored the stares as she went back to her spot near the wall next to Morn and Blood who were both looking at her smiling.
"Shut up." She said, and they burst into laughter. Blood smirked.
"I guess Konoha genin are all talk. I do hope mines is a little more bloody." Morn nodded, as he began to make his way out it was his turn. Sorrow grabbed his arm. Before looking at him straight in the eyes.
"Do not do anything brash, your opponent isn't a push over. I could feel his chakra from here." Morn brushed her off.
"I got this." With that he walked out.
Naruto didn't show any outer reaction to what he just witness, but it wasn't to say his mind wasn't running a mild a minute.
'Not only did she repel Sakura with out touching her, she was also able to pull her towards her. Kind of like what I can do.'
He noticed Sasuke exit the room, before he called him. Sasuke turned around and looked at the blonde his Sharingan already activated.
"Kill him for me." Naruto said, he will never forget what he did. Sasuke smirk.
"What do you think I was going to do?" With that he walked out.
Nanami looked at Naruto quizzically.
"Why ask him to kill him? Did he do something to you?" Naruto shook his head.
"No, not directly. But it affected me." Naruto didn't elaborate. Nanami ignored him already getting used to his none productive replies.
"Do you think he will?" Nanami asked. Naruto nodded.
Arena
Anko plugged her ears as the crowd was now booing, she forgot how much the village loved the Uchiha clan. And now their golden boy was up, she couldn't blame them though, the Uchiha clan did a lot of good for the village and were the face of the village. Anywhere there was trouble they would be there, if someone was robbed they will find the robber and return what ever they stole. To them the Uchiha clan was their only line of security, they felt safe with them around and once they were killed off, all that love went to Sasuke.
"Are both contestant ready?" Anko yelled. They nodded. "Begin!" The crown went crazy. Chants of Sasuke, Sasuke circulated and Sasuke stood in the middle of it unbothered.
Morn smirked as he heard the chants.
"I wonder what they're going to chant after I drag you across the ground." Sasuke didn't reply, instead his Sharingan looked at Morn up and down, analyzing every single twitch or movement he made.
"Not one for talking are you?" Morn said smirking, he didn't get a reply.
"Fine, it's not like it matters, you're still going to lose." Morn smirked before he surprised everyone when he disappeared, there was a boom before Morn was sent flying towards the wall but he flipped and landed gracefully on his feet.
Sasuke had his foot outstretched as if he had just kicked something away, before he slowly brought it down. Sasuke frowned that was some serious speed Morn had, if it wasn't for his sharingan he would've never been able to dodge. He took the offensive dashing forward his form a blur to anyone that wasn't a shinobi, he frowned when his fist was easily caught in morn hand, who smirked before kicking him away.
He slid on his feet before bending down to avoid a high kick, before he went for a leg sweep, that morn jumped over before he whipped out a Kunai and attempted to stab it into Morn stomach, who jumped away before he came in again, this time fainting a right hook that Sasuke reacted to by sliding under it, but was caught of guard by the the leg kick that twisted his chin, he stumbled a little but recovered before Morn shot forward again, they engaged in a melee of kicks and punches.
Anko was impressed, to everyone else it would look like two blurs were coming at each other before they separated. But she could clearly see every single punch land, they weren't holding anything back. Every punch sounded like thunder on impact.
Sasuke decided play time was over, he jumped into the air, bit his teeth before wiping it over his arm tattoo his reaper blade appearing in hand. A chain attached to it, he saw Morn leap towards him and he brought the blade over his head and swung it down. Just like Sorrow, Morn produced a rod from his hand and blocked it. They fought for dominance for a little before Sasuke outmaneuvered him and kicked him in the stomach.
They both landed gracefully. Looking straight at each other. Morn smiled.
"I hate to give it to you Uchiha you aren't a push over, I guess I have no choice but to get serious." before Morn brought his hand forward. "Don't die, or do! I don't care!"
"Shinra Tensei!"
Sasuke cursed he was too close to dodge, the jutsu slammed into him full force, he managed to hold it for a second before he was sent tumbling across the ground before his body made contact with the wall and the pressure continued, Sasuke cursed. Before the jutsu ended.
"He wiped some of the blood off his lip as he looked over at Morn, who was standing still. Shaking off the damage he shot forward, this time he threw the blade, the blade whizzed right pass morn who didn't do anything but twist his head to dodge.
"Coming straight towards me, how stupid."
Shinra Tensei
Sasuke smirked, he got him. He substituted himself with the blade he threw appearing behind Morn, who was to stunned to react in time. Sasuke appeared under Morn before kicking him in the chin sending him flying into the air, jumping up he kicked him higher and higher, before they began to descend, he waited for a little before appearing over Morn and kicking him into the ground.
SHISHI RENDAN!
The impact made the ground shake a little, Sasuke smirked as he breathed a little hard.
'I guess sparring with Lee had some benefits.'
He didn't react when he saw Morn stand up and wipe the blood off his forehead which was bleeding profoundly. His face was in a scowl, his aura of aloofness gone. His chakra was spiking little by little.
Sasuke went through a couple of hand-signs before shooting a giant fire dragon at Morn. Who didn't even bother moving, not that he could, his body was felt numb and he felt the invisible strings connected to me. He stared into the fire.
"No more games." He said before the dragon disappeared so did the feeling of wires around him. Like before he was staring straight at Sasuke, who was still breathing heavily . "Genjutsu is useless against these eyes." Morn said before rushing forward, this time not holding anything back.
Sasuke felt the kicks like a ton of bricks, he had never been hit so hard. As he went sailing across the air, using as much strength as possible he twisted in air before righting his body for he could land on his feet, and he slid for a couple seconds before coming to a complete stop.
He saw Morn move again and sighed. He made a hand sign and his body glowed. He released his weight seals he got from Nami, no more games.
He shot forward, and even some of the genins and low chunin couldn't really make out what was going on. They were moving at unimaginable speeds. When they broke apart they both landed on there feet before Morn stumbled and fell to the ground and coughed up a little blood. Sasuke fell to his knees, one eye closed as he stared at Morn.
both of them disregarded defense and were just swinging every punch was felt, every kick was absorbed. Morn began to laugh.
"Is that it? Now I know why Itachi-kun left you alive." Morn said, smirking when he saw Sasuke eyes narrow. "What? Did I hit a nerve? Want me to bring back Mom and Dad for they could tell you how much of a pathetic loser you are!" Sasuke growled.
"You don't know nothing about me!" Before Sasuke shot forward.
Morn smiled.
'Yes, you idiot just a little closer. Come on!'
Sasuke growled before raising his fist. And time slowed down for him before he realized his mistake, Morn arm transformed into some kind of mechanical gun. Then blood went across the arena as Sasuke had one rod going thru his leg and another through his shoulder blade. Morn smirked but frowned when he saw Sasuke was holding him tight, the rods were still connected to him so he couldn't move. Before he heard the sounds of Birds chirping.
Another Sasuke was running down the wall a ball of electricity in hand.
Sasuke smirked as he saw the panicked looked in Morns eyes.
"What are you scared?" What ever Morn was going to say was carried away with the wind as the Chidori struck him threw the chest.
The crowd was quiet. Even Anko couldn't believe it, these kids were amazing, she'll be surprised if they didn't make chunin.
Sasuke smirked when he saw Morns body slide to the ground.
"Winner by death, Sasuke Uchiha!." The crowd went crazy.
Sasuke sighed as he yanked the hand out of Morns chest, and the Sasuke that was infront impaled by the rods turned to dust and crumbled. He looked at the clone and fronwed. He should've been dead, but there was a moment where everything seemed to stop, next thing he knew, he was behind morn who was stabbing 'him'.
'Naruto' Sasuke thought before passing out.
Genin room.
Naruto rubbed his eyes before opening them to reveal his regular blue ones.
'I told you theres nothing better then revenge.' Naruto sighed as he heard the voice in his head.
'Shut up. I just wanted to save Sasuke, I need him for my future plans.' He heard booming laughter before he cancelled it out when he felt his shoulder being touched.
Nanami shook Naruto shoulder.
"YOU IDIOT! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Naruto shook his head as he stared at Nanami.
"What do you want?" Nanami eye twitched.
"Your name was called, it's time for you to fight! Nami forfeited before your mother came to get her and the rest of the genins from Konoha. Seeing that, Haku forfeited her match since she'll need to save all her energy for later" Nanami said, Naruto thought this over, looking around the room. It was empty only him, Haku and Nanami. Before he nodded.
"Where did the Ame kids go? And Chojuro?" Haku answered.
"Chojuro was taken away by some random mist nin. And Sorrow and Blood left after Morn was killed, not before Sorrow gave you a nasty look." Haku finished, Naruto nodded before shrugging.
"Do you remember the plan?" Both of the girls nodded.
"Good. Remember, once our fights start there's going to be chaos, I am going to fire off one of my strongest attacks as soon as it starts, by then you should already be outside. There should be a battle going on out there so make sure you don't get caught in any, I will teleport to you as soon as I could and we will head straight to the land of snow. Understood?" They nodded. Naruto heard his name being called again and walked out. It was time for business.
Kage booth.
Minato stood impatiently as he got the news that the sound nina were incoming. He didn't give any facial reaction but he was ready, its been a while since he had seen battle. It went against his way of living, but a man must do what he needed to do when the time called for it.
He noticed the genins he told to forfeit did as they were told except for Sakura who for what ever reason didn't, she will be punished for her negligence. She was a needed body and now she was in the hospital. He saw the screen switch and he smirked when he saw it was Naruto turn to fight the Shukaku container, by now all the civilians on the outside should be heading towards special bunkers in the hokage monument. The streets should be cleared and the people in here would be safely evacuated. Then all he had to worry about was a snake sitting on his right side.
"Is there something wrong Hokage-san? You look tense." Surprisingly it was Konan who spoke. She didn't seem to bothered to have just seen one of her genins killed. Minato shook his head.
"Just a little excited for this next fight." Minato lied. Konan nodded.
"A fight between your son and a jinchuriki, most parents will be worried. But I'm sure Konoha has something stronger to counter it." Konan responded, Minato face didn't change instead giving Konan a small smile.
"Of course, they have me to protect them if anything unusual were to take place." He said his voice calm and sweet. Konan nodded.
"I hope so, well I'll be taking my leave my genins are done fighting. I wish you the best." With that Konan got up and left.
Mei frowned as one of her shinobis whispered something into her ear.
"Don't mean to be rude, but I'll be taking my leave as well. Something requires my immediate attention. I will send you my recommendations in a weeks time. Thank's for having me, you put on an amazing show." With that Mei left the room. Leaving the yondaime Kazekage alone with Minato.
"I guess they would be a little sore after their villages took such nasty defeats." The sand Kazekage said, Minato nodded.
"Don't worry, you'll feel the same way in a minute." Orochimaru laughed.
"We shall see."
Arena
Naruto stood crossed armed in front of Gaara, he had no illusions as to what was about to take place, his abilities as a sensor could already tell him of the incoming dangers. He smirked when he saw the dome on the top begin to open, and the rain drops fell upon there bodies. He looked over at Anko and ignored her glare, he didn't mind he didn't know her, and he didn't care about her feelings, he wanted her to start the match. He had a schedule to keep.
"Are you going to start the match?" Naruto asked. Anko glared at him.
"Begin."
Naruto nodded before looking at Gaara who's sand was already dancing around him.
"I've been dying to taste your blood! Mother wants your blood!" With that the sand shot forward, Naruto easily side stepped the sand before running forward at full speed bobbing and weaving, each tendril of sand, he got into position before he attempted a right jab, a tendril of sand shot up to protect Gaara. The same tendril covered his whole fist before he jumped backwards, but the sand continued to crawl across his arm, he activated his Sekai and the sand was instantly blasted away from him.
He looked over at Gaara who hasn't moved from his position, he noticed the sand was starting to move slower due to the rain soaking it, but it also made it heavier meaning any hit will carry ten times the power. Naruto decided he needed to end this. Just like that three black orbs appeared and began to circle around him. He sighed before he channeled chakra to his legs, he turned around and shot towards the wall. He ran up pass the windows, and continued on pass the bleachers before jumping into the sky.
Naruto turned around to face Gaara high in the air from here everyone looked like ants, fitting since once this jutsu hit home, they will be buried in dirt. He didn't care if any civilains were hurt, he needed everything to be messy, what better way to do that then to destroy things. He frowned when he saw four blurs surround the hokage booth, and in a matter of seconds a giant pibnk barrier was lifted. He looked around and saw their were three 3 giant snake pillaging the four sectors of the village.
Grabbing his hand he began to focus. The three orbs began to dance in Naruto hand before they began to merge. Naruto concentrated some more, the orb began to take a purple hue, small blue particles began to fester from it. Naruto eyes glowed before the ball expanded to the size of a basketball.
Gaara frowned as he looked at the technique, he encased himself in a small cocoon, made of sand.
Naruto concentrated some more before the ball grew bigger, realizing he was now, parallel with the bleachers he flung it.
Hollow cannon!
The ball created a giant boom as it was released completely shattering every single glass window in the vicinity, it tore everything apart as it sped towards Gaara, before making contact smashing against shell, and fought for a dominance with the shell of sand before breaking right through it. A scream like never before echoed, before everything went white as the ball exploded. Naruto was sent flying into the air, debris went everywhere. The walls that held up the stadium began to shake before cracks appeared and in an instant a second boom, completely tore through the arena.
Anko panicked when the first blast sent her flying into the wall, using all her energy she shushined away, just before the second blast completely annihilated the arena. There was a third blast, and this time everything for a quarter mile shook before, the stadium exploded.
Naruto while still in the air, cursed as he felt the pain in his arm. That was his strongest technique, the hollow cannon, he combined every orb into one, this caused a reaction that he still couldn't explain but the first time he tried it on his way to wave he destroyed a whole section of the forrest. His eyes glowed before they began to spin. He waited for the smoke to clear.
It took a couple of minutes before it finally did. What used to be an arena was turned into a giant crater. Everything was caved in and you could see bodies laying around the wreckage, he noticed the only part that wasn't in shambles was the Kage booth who must have been protected by the barrier, he could easily feel Minato chakra which was spiking to unimaginable levels, the other person wasn't a slouch either. He landed on a near by building and frowned, he had just killed upwards of 300 people, Minato probably wouldn't be happen with him that was a war crime, punishable by 15 years in the blood prison, he had no intentions of going there. He waited for a little and he wasn't disappointed when a giant sand storm picked up, it began to dance and the winds picked up and he raised his arm to protect his eyes, he noticed the sand began to take shape before it morphed into a giant Tanuki.
"You look like you need some help." Naruto smirked at Nanami and Haku who were looking at down at him, they walked forward before they picked the stone off his leg.
"Thank you, I thought we agreed to meet outside the village?" Naruto said as he got up, cursing when he added pressure to his leg. Haku fronwed.
"We was but our plan has been compromised, when we reached our rendezvous, it was covered in Mist nin, not only that from the looks of things Mei-sama is looking for us." Naruto listened to Haku explanation and frowned. How did Mei find out in the first place, deciding to leave that thought process for another time he spoke.
"Change of plans, you two will be coming with me too fight the Shukaku, I'm going to lead him away from the village and when we're close enough to the village walls grab hold of him or me, I will teleport us out. Obviously I can't take us to far, we should appear just outside the walls, where the main fighting it happening. Once there every Shinobi will begin attacking the tail beast, that should form a big enough distractions for us to escape." Naruto spoke in a hush tone before bringing his hands together and three orbs appeared, Naruto bit his thumb drawing blood before spreading it across his arm. His Zaga blade appearing.
"Let's go." With that Naruto and crew disappeared.
They appeared a couple of yards away from the beast who was busy laying waste to the village.
"Haku, Nanami stay back but don't go to far I'mma draw his attention and lead him towards the east wall that is where I feel the most people. If anyone gets in your way kill them." Both girls nodded before they jumped away.
Naruto pointed his blade towards the beast.
ZAGA: HI
The flames shot out like molten lava before piercing the beast, who yelped in pain before rolling on his back to put the fire out, before turning his head towards Naruto. Who was already going through hand signs.
Fire style: Great Fireball Jutsu
The fire shot directly towards the beast hitting it straight on, Naruto channeled more chakra into the technique causing the flames to reach new heights, the section where it hit which stretched a couple of feets turned into glass. Naruto didn't give the beast time to recover as he jumped forward channeling Chakra to his fist before with all his strength his the spot where the glass was located. It started off small with a spider web design before stretching over the whole area before a giant chunk of the beast was destroyed falling to the ground in a shower of glass.
Naruto landed before jumping away to avoid the giant glass shrapnel. Finally coming to a stop and smirked when he saw the beast screaming in pain as a giant piece of his stomach was missing. The smirk was wiped out his face when a regenerated and the it howled, like before it blew everything away but this time Naruto was prepared channeling chakra to his legs he held his ground. The wind died down Naruto looked up at the beast his Sekai glowing, as the beast looked back at him.
"YOUUUUU, I WANTTT YOUR BLOODDD!" Naruto cursed as a giant wind blade was shot in his direction, there was no way to avoid it, he raised his hand and Sekai glowed before the wind dispersed. He realized that the amount of chakra it took when he repelled something was increased when the justu he was repelling was that big. Deciding he rather preserve chakra, he frowned he needed to leave the village now if he wanted to stay on schedule.
He looked around and noticed that the streets were barren.
'Good they evacuated, that means I could be a lot more destructive. At least this gives me a chance to test out my new eyes.' With that in mind Naruto jumped on top of a building, before smacking his hands together. He breathed in before the air around them turned ten times heavier, the force bringing the Tanuki to his knees. Naruto nodded before he poured more chakra into the technique, grinding his teeth together at the pressure. Finally the bijou fell flat on his stomach. The rain around Naruto and the Tanuki stopped in mid air as gravity was increased by 70%. His Sekai glowed as he took control of his element, the wind dancing around the Shukaku.
Sekai: Winds of the moon
The technique worked by combining his power over gravity to hold the opponent in place, once the opponent was completely stuck he will use his winds of the moon, it was the original techniques variant to be used against a small army. He didn't think he will use it for sometime, but he was fighting an uphill battle with a monster. The wind eroded the beast to nothing more but sand and he narrowed his eyes as he laid eyes on Gaara who was buried in the head.
He had to jump away when a tendril of sand shot at him, but he wasn't fast enough to avoid the second one that smacked him square in the chest and sent him flying through a couple of buildings.
"HAHAHA! THAT TICKLED! YOU HAVE FUNNY EYES, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM POP OUT OF YOUR SKULL!" Before the Biju got up and began to stomp towards Naruto.
Naruto cursed as he felt a couple of ribs broken. He needed to get the freaking thing outside of the village. He breathed in a couple of times before standing up.
'Wy can't you be useful like Nami half and actually heal me!' Naruto yelled to his tenant, but got no reply. But he did feel instant relief in his chest area. looking around he noticed the east wall wasn't too far away from their location. He pulled out some kunai with exploding tags before he launched them at the beast, who didn't bother dodging them.
Naruto nodded, when he saw the Biju continue its trek towards him. He noticed the streets were starting to get packed with people fighting, some were even throwing jutsu at the beast, which was just pissing him off even more. Using the majority of his speed, Naruto dashed towards the wall, and nodded when he saw the Tanuki brake into a little jog. His huge steps easily letting him catch up with Naruto.
Naruto jumped to the side as a wind blade destroyed the building he was going to jump onto next but he didn't let it stop his track. He continued to run towards the wall before he cursed when he felt Nami and the rest of the crew they were heading straight for him. His mind went through a couple of scenarios, there was no way he could let them join him in this fight, this was his only escape.
Deciding it couldn't be helped, he formed three hand signs ending in ram. The next instant him and Shukaku disappeared from the village.
With Nami
Nami frowned as she noticed Naruto was being chased by the beast, she and the rest of the group were suppose to be his reinforcement. It took them awhile but Ino was finally able to pin point his location. Once they got there, she was amazed when she saw Naruto go through hand signs and the next moment him and the Shukaku were gone.
"Ino where did they go?!" Nami yelled as she looked around. Ino frowned as she began to concentrate, before shaking her head.
"They can't be anywhere around us, I can't feel none of them. Even the beast chakra has disappeared!" Ino yelled. Nami cursed.
"What do you mean they're gone? They were just in front of us, and last time I checked Naruto can't teleport!" Nami yelled before dodging a Kunai aimed for her head, the next second they were surrounded by 30 Sound nin.
"Look what we have here, a couple of fresh genins!" One of the ninjas said, Nami frowned as she looked around. They were all jounin, she only had Neji, Ino, Shikamaru and Tenten with her. Before her scales went across her body, her eyes turned to slits, before turning red.
"I am in a very bad mood!"
The next moment could only be described as carnage as Nami tore through the army with ease, the other watched on in amazement as Nami finished. Nami deactivated her armor and looked around.
"They just have Jounin vest, who ever initiated the attack was low on men, these people couldn't have been anything but canon fodders." Nami spoke before looking to the right when she felt a giant explosion outside of the village.
"That's where he went let's go!" Shikmaru frowned.
"Nami that's the east section that's where most of the fighting is taking place. If Naruto and the Beast went that way it'll be better to leave them alone, we could get caught in the cross fire." The Nara said, the others agreeing with him. Nami cursed.
"I don't care, Naruto is out there fighting a giant monster and we're in here doing nothing!" Nami yelled as she looked at the other genins.
"I understand that Nami but Naruto chose to leave, we all know he felt us. If he took the beast away it means he was trying to get it away from us." Neji tried to reason. Nami shook his head.
"It's always Naruto to want to do things alone, he needs our help. Now I'm done talking every moment I stay here talking to you my brother could die." With that Nami shot towards the wall.
The others looked at each other before nodding and going after her.
Naruto fell to one knee, as teleporting a giant beast and two other people took a whole lot of chakra, and he's been running low since he used the Hollow cannon, he noticed the orbs were beginning to receded and nodded.
He looked around and just like he thought, the war was raging.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" Naruto frowned at beast before getting up it wasn't time to rest, before he noticed two chakra signatures appear next to him. Nanami and Haku stood behind him facing the beast.
"You should really ask for help sometimes you know." Nanami said frowning as she looked at Naruto who was bleeding from one and his clothes were tattered.
"We could take our leave now Naruto-sama." Haku said, changing the honorific as she no longer had to pretend she was on the same level as him. Naruto nodded. Noticing the Shukaku was bust fending off a couple of Anbu.
"Let's go." With that him and the two girls shot forward, fighting off a couple of shinobi's here and there but continuing their track. They reached the tree line and jumped on and ran.
Naruto cursed as he felt a chakra signature not to far away. They continued to run for the next fifteen minutes before Naruto called for a halt, it was no use, they would have to confront the people.
Naruto jumped down to the floor along with Nanami and Haku. They didn't wait long.
"Naruto-kun we meet again." Mei said smiling as she looked at the trio of genin. "Two of my own genin abandoning me, I see you have a way with words Naruto. Even I almost believed you, it was a good thing I placed tracker chips on each of them." With a snap of her fingers two chips shot out of Haku and Nanami wrist.
"You could thank your Hokage for giving me some, as a sign of trust because of our new treaty." Naruto frowned at this, that information was never revealed to him, but he played it cool.
"Full of compliments like always Mei-san." Naruto said his eyes activated, he was in trouble there was no way he could win, but he wasn't unprepared after all he planned for everything.
Mei nodded, before turning serious.
"Abandoning your village is a crime. I am more then willing to look the other way, if you all return quietly." Mei said before another 10 men came to her. "Refuse and lethal force will be used." all the men took out Kunai.
Naruto smirked, looking at Haku and Nanami fidget.
"Don't worry, they wont attack." Naruto said, Haku and Nanami looked at him like he was crazy.
"Why?" Nanami asked, to her they were largely outnumbered and vastly out powered.
"Yes, Naruto-kun why wouldn't they? After all you are committing a crime." Mei said smoothly. Naruto smiled showing off all his teeth, rubbing the back of his head.
"Because they have to take their Kage to the hospital." With that Mei arm glowed red before exploding, launching the woman through a couple of trees.
Haku and Nanami were left in shock.
"GRAB MY HAND!" Naruto said to the two girls who did it immediately, and the next moment rhey were gone.
Naruto coughed up blood when he and Haku and Nanami landed next to a barren place of the forest.
"NARUTO-SAMA!" Haku yelled as she grabbed Naruto before he fell, the blonde shaking her off.
"I'm fine, just chakra drained but we made it." Both girls looked around.
"Made it where? We're in the middle of nowhere!" Nanami yelled, Naruto shook his head. Before talking to the middle of the field, before pressing his hand to the ground. It rumbled for a second before it shot open, and both girls and Naruto free falled to the bottom. Naruto smirk as he was falling, he was finally out, before passing out.
The next instant he was caught in mid-air, the same with Haku and Nanami. Who were left in aw as they looked upon the giant steel machine.
Haku snapped out of it before she noticed who saved her.
"ZABUZA-SAMA!" The girl yelled before hugging her father figure. Zabuza smirked, as he looked at the unconscious Naruto the train from spring country behind him.
"Right on time, just like always emperor."
Nami reached the east village before she noticed the fighting and the Shukaku was still there but no sign of Naruto. That was before a group of shinobi rushed across the battlefield, and she got a bad feeling in her stomach.
Catching up with them, she noticed it was the Mizukage being carried.
"I COULD HELP!" Nami yelled as she rushed towards the group, who stopped and quickly noticed it was the Yondaime daughter. They whispered between each other before one stepped up.
"Please if you can, she was badly hurt." The Shinobis said placing the Mizukage down gently, Nami nodded before her hands glowed green as she did a diagnostic.
"Fractured and third degree burns in the right arm, two broken ribs, a bruised spine, blunt force trauma in the back of the head. What happened to her?" Nami asked as she began to heal the head, while creating a clone to begin healing the body.
"It was your brother." One of the Shinobi said, causing Nami to look at him strange.
"Did she get caught in the crossfire, when he was fighting the beast?" The shinobi shook their heads.
"No, he did this himself. He abandoned the village along with two of our shinobi, I'm sorry but once our Kage is awake, he will be marked as a missing nin, international criminal with a kill on sight order and any village giving him protection will be looked as an enemy. From this day forward Naruto Namikze is a wanted man, dead or alive."
Tune in next time.
