Chapter 24: Hunter vs Hunted part 2
( Forest of Death)
The sounds of metal clanging as both Naruto and Izanami were in a deadly fight.
Both eyed another in their deadly clash as they broke apart and exchanged blows.
Izanami back flipped and would land on a tree branch and then extend her Kusanagi sword directly at Naruto who evaded to the side and shot his harpoon directly at her but she used a substitution Jutsu as his harpoon caught a log instead
"This thing knows ninjutsu!? How is this possible?!" Naruto thought looking to his right and saw Izanami charge at him with the Kusanagi blade as he would block with his katana and put pressure on the block as he would push her sword away and then elbow her in the face with a follow up slashing her chest with his sword she would hiss in pain as fresh Acid blood sprayed snarling she stepped back and got very aggressive as she would coat acid affinity to her Kusanagi sword she would attempt to deliver heavy blows as Naruto blocked them as her recent slash across her chest was healing rapidly Naruto scowled behind his mask at her regeneration.
Izanami kept delivering hard blows with the Kusanagi sword channeling her aggression as she would then do one last swipe at Naruto's katana sword, he would block again only for his weapon to be cut in two! Because her sword is coated in a high affinity of acid.
She hissed and lunged forward. Naruto tossed away his broken katana sword and pulled out his combistick Dragon gave him and did more battle with her. He delivered some jabs and hard blows to her as she would groan in pain and hiss.
He knocked her off her feet with his weapon and attempted to impale the weapon in her chest but she had a faster reaction and shot her tail forward up at his face coating it with acid affinity. Naruto barely avoided it as the tail struck his mask destroying a good portion of it. As he roared in agony stepping back which gave Izanami time to recover as she watched Naruto grip his mask which revealed the right side of his mask was partially destroyed revealing his face partially and eye.
She grinned. She finally gets to see her prey's face.
Naruto would sprint and do a drop kick to her chest sending her across two trees as he would charge spinning his combistick and jumped ready to strike her but she saw this coming and and jumped forward with her Kusanagi blade as both Kusanagi blade and combistick met and would exchange blows in mid air as they broke apart.
Izanami decided to drop smoke bombs to conseal herself as thick smoke covered the area they were in and she used her camouflage ability to hide well in the smoke.
Naruto looked around for her.
"She's very CLEVER." He growled in thought paying attention to his surroundings knowing she could be anywhere in the smoke.
Izanami herself remained silent she wanted to catch him off guard and kill him in the smoke. But she needed to catch him off guard even more! She weaved the handseal for the Shadowclone Jutsu summoning 4 copies of her as she gave them a silent motion to attack.
Naruto continued to look around holding his combistick.
One Izanami clone would attempt to attack Naruto from behind as the hunter swiftly turned around and Jabbed his combistick across Izanami that was until he heard a plume of smoke. He realized that was a Shadowclone!
"Damn it! Shadowclones!" Naruto growled holding his combistick suddenly he saw two silhouettes lunge forward at him as he charged forward and bashed both of them with his weapon as they turned to plumes of smoke.
Suddenly he felt his ankles get grabbed he looked down and saw hands grabbing his legs it was until he saw a gleam in the mist. Eyes widened when he knew what it was he wasted no time in using the substitution Jutsu as the Kusanagi blade would find itself impaled through a log.
Naruto would be perched on a tree branch when he saw the smoke began to clear and once it was cleared he saw two Izanami's. With speed he lunged and struck down the other Izanami revealing it to be a clone. The REAL Izanami was taken back by this as she made an attempt to drive the blade through Naruto but he evaded it and hit her shoulder then her arm, he struck her face and then knocked the Kusanagi sword out of her hands
She glared but screamed in pain when she felt the Combistick impale her torso Naruto forced it through her as she slapped something on his chest and would kick him off she fell on the ground healing her wound.
Naruto looked down at what is on his chest, it looked like hive resin? What she plans to do with he then faced her and saw her made a hand seal motion. Confused Naruto was then blown back by a explosion from the hive resin on his chest plate armor!
he was knocked back he dropped his combistick
groaning in pain he looked up and saw Izanami come right at him as she pounced on him she would keep him pinned on the ground. She would rip the mask off his face revealing his full face tossing it aside.
Glaring Naruto fired his Shoulder plasma canister at her when she saw it she immediately jumped off of him but Naruto wasn't going to give her a chance as he shot his harpoon this time he actually caught her hissing and screeched she glared at him.
"GET OVER HERE BITCH!" He yanked her towards him as he brought out his wrist scythe and would imbue pure plasma on the weapon.
As she was being yanked he prepared to end her once and for all by beheading her. She's clearly to dangerous.
However before he could. Naruto was shoved away thus he lost control of his harpoon and grip on Izanami
"What the!-" Naruto says turning to the side and widened his eyes seeing a lone Xenomorph hissing
TWO!?
"Thanks for the save my child." Izanami would say as it screeched walking towards its mother.
"Child!? NO!" Naruto aimed his plasma canister at the child and shot it.
The serpent was suddenly shot as it laid there dead.
Izanami saw her child die right in front of her as she gave a blood-curdling screech at the loss of her child.
"YOU BASTARD! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" Izanami screeched full of rage and anger that her eyes began to morph into Mangekyo Sharingan. As she grew black blades from her wrists and then charge at Naruto in hatred and anger for killing her child.
Naruto even though he was battered and wounded from this individual he knows she's no Serpent.. Or human.
She is a Monster.
And if she is a Queen… that would mean there are more serpents… and could be with her! He hopes his hunters can spot them and kill them! He can't allow her or any serpent live!
He doesn't know how Orochimaru got a serpent in the first place. And the idiot doesn't realize what he just DONE! That fucking fool!
He doomed the entire elemental nations for creating Izanami.
Naruto wasn't intending on letting her get away along with any serpent child she had.
He prepared his wrist scythe blade along with bringing out his plasma rod whip. Since this fight is still going to continue and only one of them will be the victor. She will indeed make a great trophy after he kills her.
To be continued.
An: The fight will end in the next chapter.
Until next time.
