Chapter 8: A Fox Encounters a Spider

Private Jet, still in the Air

February 8, 2009, 6am, With Naruto:

Naruto could've sworn he fell asleep on the plane ride back home. After a long day spent in Italy, it was time to head back to Metro City to finish his tasks. Once he got onto the plan he fell asleep on one of the couches in the plane, trying to get some rest.

Naruto opens his eyes… to see that he is not in a plane, but rather, a room. Not just any room, if he remembers correctly, It's the same room that he woke up to back in the Leaf Village.

Wait.

Naruto looked out the window that was next to his bed.

*Gasps*

Andthere it was, the Hokage Monument! How could this be!? Is he back in the Leaf Village!? What is going o-

*Rustling*"Hmmm, Naruto-kun, it's too early, are you ok?" Who said that? Naruto now noticed that he wasn't sleeping in his bed alone. He looked to his left, and there she was. His eyes opened; tears began to form. H-he couldn't believe it.

It was Hinata! Hinata in her sleeping wear was looking up at him with sleepy half-lidded eyes. Naruto, reaching out to caress her cheek, trying to see if he can touch her. He didn't pay too much attention as she leaned into it and sighed in bliss.

"H-Hinata-chan." Is this really happening, was he really back? "I-I-I had a really weird dream." Before he can continue, she lightly giggles, as she now rests her head on his left shoulder, getting closer and snuggling into his side.

"Don't worry, I understand. You must be so stressed over what is about to happen in a week." Getting confused, Naruto was about to ask what she meant when the morning light bounced off of something placed on her finger. Naruto looked down to the hand that was resting on his chest and released a gasp. He gently placed his hand on top of hers, grabbed it, and brought up to his face.

It was a ring.

The ring was silver in color, with a purple amethyst as the main jewel. It was a simple design, but that to him didn't matter. What matter is what this implies. He looks back at Hinata, who is stilling looking at him with her gorgeous smile, before maneuvering her whole body so that she was now laying on top of him and still looking into his eyes.

"That's right, our big day is only a few short days away. I can't wait to be your bride." They were getting married. Naruto's tears, which were held back at first, now started to fall freely. He then wrapped his arms around her, tightly.

Hinata, looking up at Naruto, released a light giggle after the action, "Naruto-kun," Naruto stops crying momentary and looks back down towards Hinata, "Promise me that no matter what, that you find happiness and come to realize just how much you mean to me." Naruto hitched his breathe as Hinata began to close the distance, her lips were merely millimeters apart from his.

"I love you Naruto-kun" She stated before sealing her lips over his. Naruto at first was shocked, before faltering and letting himself enjoy the kiss. This was it. It was all just a dre-.

…He didn't feel, anything.

Very quickly, he realized that everything that was happening, from the kiss to the embrace, it felt like nothing. No warmth from the contact, no moisture from her lips, not even a scent. Almost immediately, the setting changed. When their lips disconnected, he now noticed that they were back on the moon, the place where everything changed.

He looks back at Hinata, her hands now held the very Kunai that teleported her away.

No…

Hinata began to step away. Away from him.

Please… don't go…

She smiles back at him; however, she knew. He knew that this was their last time seeing each other.

I-I beg you, stop it. I can change things…

"I'll be waiting for you back at home." She states, never breaking eye contact. He then sees moisture building at the corner of her eyes. How come he never noticed it before? He wanted his body to stop, but it wouldn't listen to him.

NO… Don't accept it Hinata, Fight me! Make Me Stop. STOP IT… I CAN'T LOSE HER

"HINATA-CHAN!" It was too late, his body, against his own wishes, sent her away. Never to see her again.

HINATAAAAA!

A bright flash filled his vision.

Outside of Naruto's Mind:

Naruto opened his eyes, screaming out as if he was being attacked. When he got his bearings under control, he realized that he was back on the plane. More accurately, he was getting up from the couch that he was just sleeping on. He cradles his head with his two hands, running his fingers through it realizing that it was slightly wet due to sweat.

What the hell kind of dream was that! For as long as he can remember, since he re-awoke from stone, he'd never had such a vivid dream in reference to Hinata.

Hinata… The talk of marriage between him and Marisa at dinner got his head all screwed up. Discussing relationships, past partners, and even experience in the bedroom, that was mostly her not him, has all lead him to think back to the girl that loved him. He feels awful about what has happened. Despite him not actually dying, to them, he may as well be KIA on the mission. They never will know what happened to him.

Thinking of Hinata got him thinking about the life he once had. Suddenly, he felt really, really bad.

He'd never had so much alone time in the past year or so. This trip has left him to his own devices. Which became negative really quick.

He has, no one.

No real friends, no family, no time, he hadn't felt this bad since the day he made the discovery back in Japan.

Can I, even rebuild it?! Would rebuilding what he once had be shunned upon. Does he even have a right to find love again!? Can he ever do that, with Hinata entering his mind every time he thinks about love? It can't be healthy.

"Umm sir, is everything alright?" A flight attendant, the only one on the plane, was a middle-aged woman, with dark skin, black hair, had some small wrinkles forming around her eyes, with a slim build and is of slightly above average height for women came up to him.

She seemed concerned. "I heard screaming and gasping. If you are having a medical problem, I am also a trained nurse." She states beginning to bring out a first aid kit.

Naruto waves her off, "No, no, no, thank you for worrying, but I'm fine. I just had a bad dream." More like a painful nightmare. Naruto gave the kind flight attendant a sheepish smile while rubbing the back of his head.

"Oh ok. Well, if you want, I can make some herbal tea for you, just so you can calm down your nerves." With a nod, Naruto accepts the proposal. Before she heads off to make his drink, she turns around to state, "Oh by the way, we will be landing in Metro City in about 45 minutes, so please, due try to rest up." Then she begins to head off to make his drink.

Leaning back into the couch, Naruto let a sigh out as he tried to control the now raging headache he was experiencing. Before he continues down his depressing thought process, he remembers his mission. Bosch, I swear you better be safe. I am going through a lot to help you. Soon, the flight attendant came around and handed him his tea. Naruto, now more focused than before, began to strategize.

I can't let my emotions out. I need to stay focus, Bosch is in trouble, I need to find him. I can't let someone else just throw their lives away like this.

With that final thought, those depressing thoughts that Naruto once had, were buried once again.

Skywalk Lane, Metro City,

February 8, 2009, 3pm, With Naruto:

The morning came and went. Luckily, Naruto was able to distract himself from his dream with the daily activities. Naruto decided to take some time to rest again, since the previous night wasn't all that kind to him. Also, it wasn't like the Counterfeiter was going anywhere. After a power nap, Naruto once again headed out to where Leonardo is. He isn't planning on heading out towards Mad Gear's base until much later today anyways.

Changing into his "Mission" outfit, he set out to Skywalk Lane. After a bit of walking, and one-shotting a random thug to scare off other challengers, he finally sees the yellow highlighter jumpsuit, standing in his usual spot.

"Hey Kurama! How was Italy, *chuckles*." Leonardo sees his current customer heading his way. Now, he wasn't their personally, but he was able to catch the live stream of the event. Let's just say that he was very grateful that everything went according to plan.

Naruto slams the clasp he got from Marisa down on his crate/worktable hard, before looking back at him with a light growl, "You tricked me." Oh boy, Leonardo get a bit nervous seeing that his brilliant plan, may have caused him to unleash a more…destructive part of his current customer.

"I-I wouldn't say trick you, I did say the tru-" Naruto release a more audible growl, before sighing. At the end of the day, he couldn't stay too mad, after all, he did get another acquaintance out of the trip.

Realizing he dodged a bullet; Leonardo brought the attention back to the item that Naruto brought with him.

"I see you did bring the clasp." He grabs it and begins to fiddle with a identical bag from the picture. "I was a bit worried that it would fall through. But hey, you did it, with out a hitch, right?" Naruto looked away, releasing a couple of grumbles, causing Leonardo to sweat again when he heard words that were referencing pain.

*Coughs*" Anyways, let see here…" He grabs some sewing materials and places the bag on the table, "I just… attach it… here… and… There we go." He puts the tools down, picks up the bag and shows it to Naruto.

It was identical, down to the worn-down leather on one of the handles, and the chip on one of the buckles. Naruto has to admit, he was very impressed with what Leonardo did. "As promised, I won't charge you for the bag. *chuckles* the experience more than made up for it." Naruto gave him a deadpan stare, before Leonardo corrected himself and handed the bag over to him.

"Alright then, thank you for your request, be sure to come back for anymore requests. Till next time." He states before heading off to go watch a street fight that was happening between a girl and a vacuum drone.

With that, Naruto grabs the bag, and heads back home for the day. Since it's a little too late to go visit the sisters, and Luke is still in Nayshall, Naruto decided to head back to the Salon and work a part-time shift. His position is very loose since he gets paid via personal clients once he goes over his part-time hour count.

Mad Gear Street, Metro City,

February 8, 2009, 9pm, With Naruto:

Naruto, after stopping by his home to pick up his sword and some extra equipment, made his way back to the Mad Gear Base. His face mask is back on and with a new design. In Italy, Marisa saw his outfit, and while she liked it, she believed the mask needed to be scarier. She personally created a drawing inspired by Japanese yokai/oni masks. She added a mouth, with fangs in a snarl that resembles a fox. The art was in an orange color, and that combined with her redoing the art on his shirt, was luminescent.

With the bag in his hand, Naruto made his way down the street. Some of the Mad Gear grunts were minding their own business. Once they saw him, tension began to rise. They didn't move, but their cardboard boxed heads followed him as he walked past them, told Naruto that they were on edge.

Continuing down the street, more and more members began to follow him. Some simply stared, others followed on the roofs, some were standing on the fire escapes, and a couple were trailing behind.

Once he turned another corner, he saw the Mad Gear lady with the bikini top, standing in front of the ladder. She had 5 grunts around her, her arms were crossed as if she was posing for an album cover. Aw, that's cute, they all think I'm easily scared. If it comes down to it, Naruto is willing to throw down once again. It wasn't like the grunts last time stood a chance.

"Well, well, well. Look who it is. I assume you showin' you're sorry ass face here means that you got the bag?" She began to walk towards him, with the grunts following a couple of steps behind. Naruto pulls out the bag, holding it out for her to take.

"Very nice. I gotta admit, I'm almost impressed! Right, so , you can get lost now." She stops about arm's length from him, leaning in and grabbing the bag a bit harshly. She then opens the bag, causing her to freeze, then growl loudly. She looked back at Naruto. "You stupid fuck. You think you can play around with us! Hah, don't think will go easy now chump! Boys, get him." With that, the five grunts that were surrounding her attacked.

Naruto a bit shocked, got into his stance ready to fight. The first one, a short male, threw and jumping punch at Naruto, who caught it, pulled the same hand towards him, and sent the grunt flying backwards with a palm strike to the face. Then two other grunts, one a short female and the other a slightly taller male, tried to land two kicks on him. The female aimed a kick at his mid-section, while the other male went for a sweep. Naruto jumped over and away from them, before launching himself back at them, first throwing an elbow to the female's gut, then, while using the same arm, spun around, and landing a spinning chop to the throat of the male causing him to make choking sounds and leaned over grabbing his throat. Naruto then spun around as a third gang member, a taller female, tried to get him while he wasn't looking with a knife in her hands, and grabbed her hand. He then twisted it, causing her to scream, releasing the blade, then Naruto grabbed tight, and then threw her into the first female, knocking both out as they slammed against a brick wall, leading to spider cracks to form.

Focusing back on the male who was still stunned by the chop, Naruto threw an uppercut to the gut, then another one, getting him to momentarily stay in the air, before spinning and landing a roundhouse kick to his head, sending him into another 3-man group of grunts. After following through, Naruto then moved his head to side, dodging a broken glass bottle that was thrown his way.

He sees the girl with the red bikini heading his way in a form that looked like Luke's fighting style. "Stupid newbies. I can't even get you guys to do something simple." She then pulls out a knife, "Alright asshole. I wanted to do this ever since I saw your stupid face." She then got closer, with making any sudden movements as Naruto got back into his stance.

This got a reaction from the Mad Gear members that were watching. Many were making noise using trash cans/barrels, or broken cars, "Give him hell Elissa!" One of them stated. Elissa, huh, would've expected a meaner name from a gang member. Naruto didn't except any gang member to be called that.

Naruto, deciding to end this quickly, made the first move. He threw a low palm strike aim at her gut, which she blocked by bringing one of her arms in front. She then made three swiping attempts towards his head, which Naruto dodged them, before grabbing the hand, then using it as an opening to land a chop to her side, then a using her arm, he spun his body, yanking on her arm, hard, and forcing her to do a flip and land on her back. Naruto then tried to a hammer punch to her face before she rolled away. She then got up quickly and threw her knife at him, hoping to catch him off guard.

For the most part, she did catch him off guard, just not in the way she expected. Did she just, throw away her only weapon? Man, how did this gang run the city?! With no effort, Naruto plucked the knife out of the air. Shocking everyone. Elissa on her, part, backed away slightly, not realizing that she got closer to the wall behind her. He then threw the knife back at her with even more force.

She yelled when she felt her back hit the wall and looked back bracing for impact. The knife embedded itself just inches from her left ear. Causing her to yell again but looked on in fear at the knife stuck in the wall. He, he could've killed me. What is he! Still in shock, she didn't react in time to when Naruto appeared in front of her before he landed a brutal gut punch. She began to spit out a glob of saliva and leaned over the hand. Naruto wasn't done, he then hit another gut punch with the other hand, causing more spit to leave her mouth. Naruto then grabbed her by placing her head under his armpit, spinning her away from the wall, then he let go causing her to wobbly stand in place, before winding up a crouching back kick, sending her high into the air, he followed after her, jumping and landing three more punches to her chest, face, and gut before finishing with a front flip axe kick, sending her flying back down to the ground. She left imprint of her body on the ground. Large spider cracks formed around her as well.

The fight was over.

All of Mad Gear in the vicinity were in shock. Their second in command was just annihilated. Many that were on the ground, began to back up in fear. As Naruto looked around, everyone was seen shaking. Before he could continue, he hears groaning and moaning sounds from Elissa, and sees that she is slowly, getting up. She was breathing very heavily, and her exposed stomach showed clear bruising. Gotta admit, she's tough. He wasn't exactly trying; he was trying to get things going quickly so he put a little extra in his last attacks.

She then made her way, while still wobbling back and forth, while holding her stomach, towards the bag that was left on the floor in front of the ladder. "DAMNIT... What the hell." She begins to turn back at Naruto, with the bag in hand, "When… I said we… wanted the… bag, " Began to walk/stumble towards Naruto, pausing her statement to throw up more saliva.

After stopping her drying heaves, she looked back at him and opened the bag. "We meant what was INSIDE IT!" She then drops to her hands and knees, still having a hard time breathing, and is now coughing. While still on the ground, he continued, " Are you actually this STUPID!" She then slams her padded fist into the ground.

Before Naruto can respond, a loud whistle from the top of Mad Gear's Base was heard. The source was a large man. He was dark skin, really muscular, and while not as tall as Marisa, was pretty close. His hair was in long dreads that were colored bright green. He had blue sunglasses, and his facial hair, which was a medium size beard, was also the same color as his dreads. The man also had a black, sleeveless leather jacketed decorated in a yellow and black, hazard tape design around the trims. He also had padded military tan leather pants and black boots. His yellow combat gloves were fingerless and had metal paddings over each knuckle.

"Well won't look at that. We have a comedian here." He then gets up using his thumb to motion Naruto to come up, "Alright smartass. We need to talk." He then walks away from the edge, presumably waiting for Naruto to get up there.

Naruto, deciding to hear him out, made his way to the ladder and onto the main base. When he got to the top of the ladder, he didn't know what to expect, but it sure didn't look like a base. Granted, it was a little more secretive than the Canary Crate Gang's base. he had to say, but Canary's base had more character than the one he was standing in right now.

As he walked past the countless empty boxes, crates, and other trash in the area, he slowly made his way towards the edge of the roof base, where he sees the large man waiting for him. He doesn't appear to be itching for a fight, and the rest of the members on the roof were just standing aside.

"The name is Thrasher, and you are?" The large man asked, now being identified as Thrasher while moving to the side to let Naruto approach him as they both can get a good look towards the street down below. "I'm Kurama." He stated finally being somewhat close to Thrasher.

"Alright. Let's cut to the chase. What do you want?" He asks while releasing a sigh and rubbing the back of his neck.

Naruto simply stated what he knew so far. That he was looking for Bosch and that the Canary Gang told him about this deal that was going down between Thrasher's gang and some other one. Once he finished explaining, Thrasher continued, "So that's his name. Bosch is the guy that screwed up our deal, yeah?" Naruto nodded to confirm the statement. "And you are working with him?"

"I am only trying to find him. I think he is in trouble with something bigger. I had no idea what his intentions are or why he interfered with your deal." Thrasher sighed again, before readjusting his belt. He then looked down towards the street below, watching as the citizens go about their time at night.

"Heheheh. Of course, you're not with him. Otherwise, you'd be hiding together." He looks back at Naruto, seeing that he is still somewhat tense, "No need to be so stiff. I just trying to find out how we can come to an agreement or buy you out." Naruto was a little shocked, normally, bad guys/gangs don't just forgive people.

"I ain't pulling your leg either, you beat my second in command, and thrashed around some more of my best members," He then lowers his glasses, trying to get a good look at Naruto. " And I respect winners." He states before returning the glasses back in their face.

"Just like Bosch, I hate how he is playing the game, but he is a player. I am a simple man; I want guys that are winners on my side." Thrasher then decided to change the subject. " Now that we gotten to know each other a little more. How about you do us a favor." Naruto again, grew suspicious, if murder or any unnecessary violence were to be involved, he'd reject the proposal. Alas, he'll hear Thrasher out, but decided to start planning on an escape plan.

Thrasher, seeing Naruto tense up again decided to ease him in first, "Don't worry Kurama, it ain't what you are thinking. It's something that I want you to check during the day." He then looked out back to the street down below. "I don't think you know this, but I am somewhat of an enjoyer of fighting/martial arts tournaments. There is one that is going to start very soon in the nearby stadium." He states, getting Naruto attention now that it's essentially confirmed he ain't doing something like murder for them.

Thrasher continued, "However, there was an increasingly amount of demands and threats to the tournament that may cause it to be canceled. I don't know much about it, but I as you may be able to tell, I can't just walk up to the cops and ask what's going on, so I need you to do that for me, and come back here, same time tomorrow with an update." He than looks at Naruto, "Do that, and consider what happened with the deal paid for. So, do we have a deal?"

Naruto thought it over. Thrasher wasn't showing signs of double-crossing or even deception, it seems he really just wants to know about the tournament. Naruto his head, "Alright I can do that for you." He states while looking at Thrasher, who let out a laugh.

"Alright, then, come back here same time tomorrow with new information. Try asking the cops around Master's Foundation Building and at Beat Square." With that, Naruto made his way down from the base to head home for the night.

Beat Square, Metro City

The Next Day, February 9, 2009, 1pm, With Naruto:

Having clocked out for the day, Naruto decided to talk to the cops, before heading towards Chinatown and see what the renovations over his new property are looking like. As he sees a cop just outside the block that had Beat Square, he made his way over to them.

The cop in question was a lady, blonde hair, fairly young, wore glasses, and was of average build. She wore the standard blue police uniform and is seen standing guard at the corner of the street.

Naruto, once he got close, introduced himself and asked about the tournament. After she told him everything she knew, he found another cop across the street. He was an older male, blonde hair, and a blonde bushy mustache.

This cop had a lot more to say. Apparently, the tournament is supposed to kick off the same day as the grand opening of the Mike Haggar Stadium. However, their were several threats in the form of flyers and posters spread all around Metro City calling for the cancelation of the tournament. At first the officers thought it was a teenage prank, until the posters promised more… lethal consequences should the tournament commence.

Naruto then asked where he can find one of these posters. The officers told him some that they are still up around Master's Foundation Building. Making his way over, he sees one of these posters, and tears it down to take to Thrasher. According to the poster, the organizationers are calling themselves the Metro City Denizen Alliance. Their purpose for these threats is that they claim criminal activity is happening between the government and organized criminal organizations. They claim the tournament is a way to distract people of what's really happening.

While very interesting, Naruto decided that he had enough information to present to Thrasher later that night. For now, he made his way to his business to check on the renovations.

Mad Gear Base, Metro City,

Same day, 9pm, With Naruto:

As Naruto turned the corner of the street where Mad Gear's Base is located, the members on the ground level backed away from him. Most if not, all have seen his capabilities and don't want to become the laughingstock of their gang. As he got to the ladder, he sees Elissa standing guard. While her outfit is still the same, white bandages were seen wrapped around her head and stomach.

When he approached the ladder, he looked at Elissa, causing her to growl at him, before standing aside and letting him go through, it looks like she wanted to say something… I wonder what it was, its not like she is in any condition to fight right now. Naruto thought as he made his way up to Thrasher.

Thrasher was seen looking over the ledge of the building before turning around and seeing Naruto in his Kurama outfit once again. "Hey, you look into that tournament thing for me?" With that Naruto took out the poster that was in his pouch and began to tell Thrasher everything he gathered about the threats around the tournament.

To say that Thrasher was upset would be an understatement, "What? Criminal organizations involved? Aww, c'mon now. We're talkin' about a tournament where THE Hagger is inviting a bunch of famous fighters. " He tightens his knuckles and turns away from Naruto and back down to the street.

"Whether it's us or some other jerks, do you seriously expect me to believe that a criminal org could get involved so easily? I'd say some meddlin' townsfolk are just tryin' to get the tournament canned by spreadin' dumbass rumors." He then turns to look around the base and all the members on it.

"I swear, if this is somehow pinned on us, I'm bout to be beyond PISSED!" He then turns to Naruto, calming down and offering his hand. "Alright, you did your part of the deal, I'll do mine now. Consider your debt to us, paid for. Now get out of here, I'm this close to being a walking case of whoop ass." With that Thrasher made his way to a punching bag to vent out some anger. Naruto took this as his cue to leave.

However, once he was away from the Mad Gear Street, he turned into a small alleyway. Now away from the eyes of the public, he put his hands into a cross-like hand sign. Before long several shadow clones, dress like a common gang member from the known gangs in Metro City appeared next to him. Naruto than pulled out a sheet of paper, and a ink/brush set. He then crafted a seal and placed it on the side of the cardboard box/item cover the faces of the shadow clones.

Naruto has come to realize that he needs to develop a personal network for intelligence gathering. He decided that for now, he will rely on his own clones infiltrating these gangs and see if anything interesting pops up. The seals allow the shadow clones to essentially operate for longer periods of time. Acting as a battery to keep them present. Once he placed the seal on all the Shadow clones, they all nodded and jumped towards to roof tops and began their missions.

With a sigh, Naruto made his way back home to rest for the nig- *Bzzt* *Bzzt*. Naruto pulled out his phone and saw that Luke has texted him.

"Hey Riot, how'd everything go? Bosch got in touch with me earlier." Naruto's eyes widen. This is big news, Naruto already told Luke about everything so far. Despite still being on his mission, Luke still messaged every day to ensure Naruto was alright.

"I guess he got wrapped up in some big gang stuff while wandering around the city at night? I can't blame him; I was basically a street punk myself in my youth, so it'd be a bit hypocritical to lecture him on my part." I mean I guess, but you were/are still considered his teacher. Sometimes Naruto is unsure on if Luke's teaching style is even helpful in this situation. Anyways since Luke got something from Bosch, Naruto texted back asking if Bosch said anything.

"Your wondering about his location, he mentioned to me that he was heading to England, mentioned the city was Manchester and something about King's Street." Alright now that is useful information. Naruto thanked Luke, before calling the contacts for his private jet. Looks like he's heading to Europe once again.

53 King Street, Manchester England,

February 10, 2009, 5pm with Bosch:

On this famous corner of history, surprisingly, little to no cars were seen passing around. In fact, due to the light fog and sun already setting, this corner looks ghostly. Here we see the man of the hour. Bosch, with the bag that he stole firmly pressed against his chest was seen waiting right at the corner of King St. He appears to both be waiting on someone, but also thinking hard on something.

*Sighs* Alright. Bosch. Remembered what you agreed upon. Make the exchange with the resistance group and tell them you are no longer interested in working with them. Its shouldn't be that hard, right?

Bosch has given it a ton of thought. Really, ever since their conversation at the restaurant, the words that Naruto stated stayed in his head. He'd been blinded by revenge and let his emotions get the better of him. He took a step back, looked back on all the different things he's done. Some actions were crimes, be it vandalism, propaganda over spreading exaggerated claims, threats, and many more. He'd also made enemies with not so small criminal organizations.

Bosch has sacrificed a lot. And yet, taking a better look at it, has done nothing but put himself and his own family, his sister, in more danger. He knew that he took an oath when joining the resistance, but the words Naruto spoke, really made him think that this path, the path of the resistance, while honorable, isn't the right way to handle the situation. It may be good for some, but not for him. He had someone else relying on him to be safe. He can't place them in danger.

Which is why he is here. After exchanging the goods, he will request to leave from the resistance. He'd already did so much.

Suddenly, he hears an engine roar. That's strange, they'd said they will be walking up to him, so why was he hearing this. He looks in the direction of the sound and sees a single headlight getting closer and closer to him. Soon the silhouette of someone on a motorcycle was seen. Getting closer and closer, Bosch saw that the bike itself was very nice and futuristic. The bike was in an indigo/purple color, with the tires, that are black, having bright pink LED lighting on them. The rider was wearing a purple helmet, with green and pink LED lighting designs in the form of a spider on the top of the helmet. On the top back of the helmet, he can see two horn like accessories in the same color as the main helmet color as well. The visor was colored black, making it hard for Bosch to see the face.

Damn, they are really going fast. I thought the resistance had this street on lockdown. I guess this speed demon was too much for them. Assuming the biker was just satisfying their need for speed, he just admired their bike. However, once they got close, they turned their bike 180 degrees, bringing it to a halt. Smoke from the tires were giving the driver a more menacing feel.

Suddenly, as if the air itself grew heavier, Bosch was on high alert. They weren't just a speed demon. Are they a member of a gang, or some other organization he pissed off? He grew more and more nervous as he started to get a better look of the biker.

They were obviously female. As she was parking the bike, the first thing he notices were the black body paint designs on her arms and chest. She also had a spiked choker on. Her crop top was white in color and had a zipper that was slight undone, giving Bosch a slight eyeful to her modest bust. While his eyes did linger in her chest area, it was more due to the fact that the black paint on her arms lead straight to her chest. The black dubou combined with the paint on her arms, made it looked like a spider was spreading its legs across her body. With the crop top being slightly undone, her midriff was exposed, revealing a tone flat stomach. She wore black and white baggy sweatpants with spiked bracelets on her ankles. She had nothing in terms of footwear except for a pink taekwondo foot protectors. She also wore a matching set of pink fingerless padded gloves, and spiked bracelets as well.

Once she was done parking the bike, she casually made her way to Bosch, with a sway to her hips and removing her helmet. She was by all accounts beautiful and stunning, she wore black eyeliner, light pink lipstick, and other products. Her hairstyle is what caught him off guard. She had black hair, with a big streak of pink hair over her left eye. Two elongated bangs framed her face, and the rest of the hair on her head was placed in the shape of two horns.

While she was stunning, Bosch couldn't shake the feeling of ill intent. She oozed blood lust and clearly wanted to pick a fight. He tighten his hold on the bag, while also keeping his eyes on her, as she began to encircle him.

In a slightly higher pitched voice then he expected, she spoke first, "Hmph, you must be Bosch." Ok bad sign, she knows him by name, he swallowed some saliva that was building in his mouth. "Saw your friends just now, but I don't think they're coming." D-did she really… No, those two were our strongest fighters, there's no way she beat them! He was in deep trouble, if what she was calming is true, then he stood no chance.

She paused as she looked right at him and walked towards him. Still clutching the bag Bosch began backing away but was too late. "They ran into something nasty on the WAY!" She delivered a power side kick to the side of his head. This sent him flying backwards, knocking the bag out of his hands as well.

Now realizing that it was life or death, Bosch quickly tried to counter while on the ground by standing up and threw a kick of his own. All she did was move her head backwards, but his kick did knock her helmet out of her hands. Using the momentum from the kick, he spun around and tried to deliver a punch to her face, but she caught it with her, leg!? She was seen smiling at him, as Bosch struggled to get his hand free. She then let go of the hand and landing a straight front kick to the chest, causing him again to be knocked to the ground.

As he tried to get up, he began to cough violently, that kick did more damage than he originally thought. She then made her way towards him, leaning down and saying, "God you're an idiot. You thought a gang would let you off like "oh, sure, here you go"? She then released Chi, causing Bosch to gasp at the amount and panic began to form.

She leaned in with a crazed look in her eye, "You got no where to run…" With a smile to add to the fear, Bosch, started to back up on his hands trying to create space between himself and this crazy lady. He then got up on his legs again, albeit a bit wobbly.

"Ooh, you for real?" Bosch knows that it may be fruitless, but he can't stop fighting now, visions of his sister came into his mind, he steeled himself again and spoke, "The thing about idiots… is that we're too stupid to know when to quit." He got into Luke's fighting stance and gathered Chi as well.

She then laughed at him, "Ha-ha, stop, your killing me here. " She then leaned slightly to her right, stretching her hand out in a mocking motion, "and only one of us is allowed to do the killing." She smiled at him, before licking her lips trying to scare him again. Her Chi went up, her left eye than glowed a bright pink, releasing even more power. She then disappeared from his vision.

She's Fast! Before he knew it, he was nailed in the head again, curtesy of a roundhouse kick from behind. He caught himself and tried to turn around, only to receive a like jab kick to the chest, then a sweeping kick from her. He stumbled, giving her time to throw an upwards kick, launching him in the air. She then tensed and performed a vertical spinning kick, "Tensenrin!" She stated, before using the last rotation to slam Bosch back down towards the ground. He didn't even get time to get up before she rushed him again, landing a low arcing axe kick, and then a slash kick, which sent him rolling into the wall of the building.

He was now bruised heavily, and had blood coming out of his nose, and the back of his head. Some of the kicks connected with the spiked bracelets, leading to bleeding all over his body. He then tried to stand up, using the wall as a crutch, but he was leaning on it, His left eye was swollen shut, and he continued to look at Juri as she made her way over to him.

"Aww, look at you, still trying to be tough. Don't worry, I'm just about tired of playing with you." She then used her heel to grab the back of his head, tossing him out into the street again, before her eye lit up once again, She then performs a small jump, landing a spinning kick to his face, then performed a low crouched back kick aimed at his chin, sending him into the air, However, she jumped after him, getting over him, then performing a axe kick sending him back towards the ground, she then used chi to propel herself downwards beating Bosch to the ground, than landing a back kick to his mid-back. However, instead of sending him flying, using her toes, she grabs him and keeps him on her extended foot. She then follows through, slamming Bosch into the ground, leading to the formation of a small crater under him. He coughed up a huge amount of blood as something clearly broke inside of him. While he laid there, the lady, as an act of mockery, used her foot, to raise Bosch by the chin to her face, look into his barely conscious eye, and kick him away.

Bosch, by this point, was practically out of it. His one eye is clouded and doesn't appear to be in focus. He is bleeding heavily from the head. As blood pours down his face and the back of his neck. His arms are bruised badly, the same with his chest. He'd be lucky if any of his ribs were still intact. Despite the serious damages, he was still slightly conscious, but wasn't able to move.

He was beaten. Badly.

The lady then made her way towards his body, and she begins to get him up on her shoulder, he did hear her say, "Your lucky my contract requires you to be alive. Otherwise, you'd be a stain on this street. Time to go see the consequences of your actions." She was about to get him fully up before a bright blue light was seen right behind her. She didn't even need to look behind her to tell her that she needed to move. She dove out of the way as a blur was seen landing on the same spot she was just at. "Rasengan!" Was all she heard before dust was picked up around her.

Another one. I thought I took care of all of them. No matter, just more fun for me. Whoever, you are, you just became my new toy. She backed up slightly to see who this person was.

As the smoked cleared, a male figure was seen. He had bright blonde hair, with a black face mask that had an orange luminescent design face on it. He had on a red sweater with black flames on the bottom. His unzipped sweater also reveals a basic black t-shirt with an orange Kanji on the corner. His orange pants contrasted his sweater. However, he also had on open toe sandals with a reinforced heel. Overall, she can describe him as a cyberpunk ninja.

"Hey, I was in the middle of something." She stated while trying to act playful, releasing the same aura she did with Bosch. Instead of cowering like Bosch, this stranger didn't react at all. Instead, the air around her, grew heavier and she gasped lightly. But not enough to be noticed, What the hell. Who is this guy. What is this power? She'll have to be careful. This guy is strong.

"Sorry to interrupt, but Bosch here is a dear friend of mine. Seeing him in such a state, I can only assume you are responsible. Then I'll guess I'll return the favor." He got serious as he moved to stand in front of Bosch in a protective manner.

The lady then began to laugh, "Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, aww trying to avenge your boyfriend eh. Trying to protect his pride. Well, I can't say I was satisfied with the lack of a fight he put up." Then released more Chi as well, trying to scare this man, " So, how bout it, want to see what its like to face death." She again tried to intimidate him, but again no reaction. Tch, he's either really dumb, or he is the real deal. I better start channeling my Fen Shui Engine now, just in case. The lack of a response was not what she was expecting.

"By all means you can try. Before we fight, I would like to know your name." He states while crossing his arms in front of his chest. "Hmph, isn't polite to give your name first?" the lady retorted, playing along with the conversation. The man sighed before, looking back at her, "My name is Kurama, you best remember it?" He then gets into a fighting stance. "Haaah, what a cute name. Well since you won't be alive long enough to use it, you may call me Juri, Juri Han." As she states this, her eye began to glow pink as Chi began to be released in it. She then senses Kurama, gathering energy as well, matching her output. "Enough talk, let's see you back up you taunt Kurama!" With that she disappeared from her spot.

Naruto still in his fighting stance, lowered his head, instead of panicking, he is seen closing his eyes. "Hmph, too predictable." He then throughs a backwards elbow with his right bandaged arm, what followed afterwards was a cry of pain as Juri was seen trying to connect a leg sweep from behind. Only to receive an elbow to the top of her head. This caused her to lean back and get launched a few feet backwards.

Grunting and moaning was heard as she grabbed the spot on her head where she got hit. FUCK! That hurt! How was he able to keep up with me?! I was expecting him to be better than Bosch, but not this. Juri then quickly recovered and got back to her stance. She then noticed that the energy around not only increased but was actually suffocating. She began to sweat slightly realizing that she'll need to pull out the big guns.

'Tch, don't start acting all high and might cause you landed one hit! You'll regret doing that." She then reactivated her Feng Shui Engine again as she prepared for another approach.

Naruto gather Chakra around his body. From what he is sensing Juri is by far the most powerful fighter he's faced. Comparable to Luke and Chun Li, Juri's output is nearly identical to those two if not slightly stronger. While Naruto continued to train under both Luke and Chun Li, Naruto himself has made great strides in his own strength. Naruto is fairly confident that his base form now is enough to defeat both Chun Li and Luke.

This does mean that Juri will be his best challenge and test to see just how far he has come along, as well as see where he stands compared to his old self. He sees that she finished gathering her Chi, which Naruto then sense was being amplified by something in her eye. Was it a Kekei Genkai like that Sharingan? Not wanting to take any chances, Naruto channeled his Chakra as well.

As the two fighters finished gathering their own energy, they waited for any signal to start. Suddenly, thunder and lighting was heard/seen through the sky. A single raindrop was then seen falling in between Juri and Naruto. Neither removing their gaze from each other. Suddenly more lighting and thunder were shown/seen, before finally the single raindrop hit the ground.

As that became the signal, both Naruto and Juri disappeared from their spots. At first nothing happened, but if one was to hear carefully, the sounds of heavy blows and flesh on flesh contact was heard in between the now raging storm.

Bosch, while still not fully conscious, was still amazed that both of them disappeared. Then, every now and then, flashes of purple and gold were seen. Was, was that Naruto… T-they are both going faster than I can see them! Were, were you always this strong Naruto. Naruto… why… why are you here. I didn't deserve to be rescued. I am a failure as a brother, a rebel, and now a fighter. Why fight for me?

While Bosch's train of thought continued, Both Naruto and Juri were in an equal stand still. More flashes of yellow and purple were seen throughout the rainy street. Finally, they clashed, Naruto had his fist punching against the sole of Juris foot as they both tried to land a big hit.

They are equals.

For every strike or chop Naruto hit, Juri landed a kick or two in return. Clearly, they are practically evenly matched in speed and experience. Juri did have a longer reach with her flexibility and usage of legs. Naruto had more strength and power/Chakra behind his strikes, meaning they deal more damage.

Damn, she is quite good. I'll have to find a way to beat her, at this rate, we'll stand still forever. Naruto states while pushing against the foot of Juri. At the same time with Juri, she was having similar thoughts to Naruto. I'm going full power and it seems like he is not only able to keep up, but his essentially equal to me somehow. Just what is he? She responded to the added pressure with more of her own.

These two continued to push back, until Juri, while looking into Naruto's eyes, smile before using said foot to grab onto Naruto, and similar to Bosch, used her heel to grab Naruto, landing a high knee to the face, and then a spinning back kick, sending Naruto flying away (Juri's grab). Naruto then quickly recovered in time to block an elbow thrown by Juri. Using his two forearms in a x-shape in front of his chest. He then followed that up with an open palm to her chest, which connected, allowing Naruto to land a couple more to her stomach, then ending it with a spinning elbow of his own to her head.

Like with Naruto, she quickly recovered but used two backflips to create distance between the two. She had slight bruises forming on her stomach but other than that, she seemed totally fine. Naruto, despite receiving some hits, didn't have any signs of damage at all other than wrinkled clothes.

She stayed in her stance, but she was seen glaring, and breathing somewhat heavy. This bastard is tough. I haven't felt this challenged since Seth or M. Bison. I need to amp it up more. With a growl, her Fang Shui Engine exploded with power once again, then she launched herself at Naruto once again.

She threw three kicks to his face, he ducked and weave around all three, but then right when he tried to counter with a jab to her chest again, she release a burst of Chi. Catching Naruto off guard, she maneuvered her body around the attack, and wrapped her leg around his neck, then used the other leg to land a big kick to his cheek. Letting go of his head, she then use the hit to land a kick to his shin, then to his chest in the same motion. Naruto got hit by the shin kick but blocked the one going to his chest. However, she then used her channeled Chi to use a Saihasho, which landed, causing Naruto to flinch and hiss in pain, letting Juri to connect with a Fuhajin to his head. While he was in the air, Juri channeled even more Chi to increase the power of her next move, "Tensenrin!" She didn't let Naruto land on the ground before hitting this move. Ending it with her finally kicking him back down to the ground. Not letting Naruto rest, she then tried to land a Ankensatsu, but Naruto rolled out of the at the same time the kick almost slammed into his chest. When the foot came down, the concrete caved in, causing a big cloud of dust to appear as well as a small crater.

For once, Naruto was actually struggling. Whatever power her eye is giving her, it is overwhelming him. She is slightly faster, and agile with it, making it hard for Naruto to protect himself. He rubbed the corner of his mouth, only to see that drops of blood were seen smeared on his wrist. He looks at the rest of his body, and the puddle below. He actually has bruising on his neck and cheek.

Without question, she is dangerous and strong. Even stronger than any other person I've fought before in this time. He gets back up. Despite seeing damages on his body, he'd continued fights in worse conditions in the past. He then gets back into his stance. However, his eyes widen as he say what Juri was doing.

He deliberately tried to place himself between Juri and Bosch, only to now realize that She was right next to him. She was smiling right at Naruto, giggling slightly as well. "Well, Well, I can't say that you aren't fun, but I do have a mission to complete, and while I am supposed to bring him back alive, nothing said that he needs to be a good condition." She powers her leg again, moving her foot to rest slightly under Bosch's chin, suggesting what she will do to him.

While Naruto was caught off guard, before he can do anything, Bosch, for the first time Juri defeated him, spoke. He coughed loudly, releasing more blood with it. His one eye is barely open as he struggles to speak,

"I-its…ok. *Cough**Cough* *Inhales* Pl-please… stop fighting… I'm… not worth it. Don't get hurt… or k-killed for… m-my s-sake… *Coughs* *Coughs*. Please, Naruto. Stop it. I don't deserve it. I should face my consequences. I can't bare to see you be killed.

With his piece said, Bosch continued to fade in and out of consciousness. Juri, taking the moment of silence as her cue to reinforce her earlier threat, began to laugh, "Aww, how precious. I bet you must feel like shit. Not being able to save him. Now, why don't you walk away. I promise that you won't like it if we continue where I left off." She states while again, mocking swinging her foot under Bosch's neck.

Expecting Naruto to kneel or give up, to her surprise, he smiled, and stood straight. He then began to walk closer to her. Is, is this guy for real. How stupid is he!? "Last warning, I really will do it!" She again channeled Chi into her leg. And reeling it back.

Naruto continued to move forward, placing his hands in his sweater's pockets. "*Chuckles* Listen well Bosch. It's a classic tale. A young teen faced a lunatic trying to kill his friends. Much like right now." He states gesturing to Juri, who growled. "The Lunatic had both of his friends captured, do instead of running away or surrendering, the young teen challenged that same lunatic." He slowed his pace as he then stared at Juri in the eyes, "The Lunatic kept on repeating the same thing, "just give up, you aren't skilled enough, blah, blah, blah. The teen responded with the following: I never give up. I never run away. That is my nindo, my ninja way! And guess what Juri," He continued to move forward, before finishing, "I, was that teen. So no, I'm not giving up. Bosch is my friend. And I WILL save him. That's a promise."

With that, she growled louder, "Alright bastard, I warned you. What happens to Bosch is now on you!" She then reeled back, with her Chi-powered kick, she intended to deal more damage to Bosch, she roared, putting some extra power behind the attack. Expecting to hear something connect, she was surprised when she felt her leg meet resistance. She blinked, before her eyes widen and she stuttered/stammer. Where Bosch was once laying against the wall, in his place was Kurama. He had her ankle in his hand.

Before she can do anything, Naruto flicked his wrist, snapping her ankle as an audible snap was heard. "Ahh-" Before she can scream more, Naruto pulled her towards him, then connected with a Chakra powered punch to her face. She was sent flying backwards. She rolled several times before finally slowing down. Her eyes were closed as she was seen groaning and gritting her teeth together.

She slowly tried to get up, but limped as she looked down and saw that her left foot was dislocated. She sat back down, and while still looking at Naruto who walked towards Bosch who was a ways away from both of them. How? How was he able to get them in time?... Wait, is that Bosch guy, laying where Kurama was standing. Did they switch places? What the hell is going on." She gripped her ankle and readjusted it back in place. She grunted in pain at the motion of setting it back in place. What kind of ability did he use?

Naruto, as soon as he got to Bosch, places his hands into a cross shape, hand sign. A puff of smoke appeared around him. Juri's eyes once again widen as when the smoke cleared, it reveal TWO Kurama?! Is this an illusion, a hallucination? A trick of the mind? Whatever it is, it's both confusing, and shocking. Despite doing countless jobs in the past, she can't recall one guy able to clone themselves on the spot. Just who is this, Kurama?

Meanwhile, while Juri is readjusting her ankle, Naruto commanded the clone to take Bosch with him to the roofs. With a "Hai!" The clone did as he was told, grabbing Bosch in a Fireman carry, before hopping towards one of the rooftops. The real Naruto, who now turned his body fully towards Juri, was seen with a noticeable glare.

His lower face was still covered, but his eyes were angry. Wait, weren't his eyes blue?... A-and what is this power?! Suddenly, an overwhelming/dominating aura sunk in around her. With an involuntary gasp, she started to notice that her hands were trembling, sweat began to form on her face, and her mouth grew dry almost as if the aura around her was sucking the moisture from it.

Kurama, after what seem like eternity to Juri, spoke once again, "There are very few things people can do to piss me off." Kurama growled as his aura grew in intensity again. Juri, tried to power through it but the sheer intensity of the aura was overwhelming. "What you were going to do Juri, that has sealed your ass kicking!" Naruto roared out. His red eyes, with a slit to resemble that of a feline's pupil boar straight into her own pink ones. They threaten to consume her whole.

S-somehow, it's on par with Bison's aura! No… this, this is so much more intense. Juri is not too sure if she can do anything to him. How can she? This aura, this power, its like nothing she's felt be-.

As if cold water splashed onto her body, she snapped out of her panic state. Boy, I really am stupid. *Chuckles* You almost had me there Kurama, but fear isn't enough to stop me! She lower her head so that her bangs covered her eyes, Yes, you were trying to project your Chi out, despite its intensity, it's a bluff. Yeah, it has to be. before straightening her back and letting out her signature crazed laugh.

"Ha, ha, ha, hah! Do you really think that some cheap fear tactic will scare me off," Before she reactivates her Fang Shui Engine again, "If so, you are in for a rude awakening," I may have lost Bosch, but at the very least, I will get his friend. "It's a dog-eat-dog world! You barked loudly, but your bite isn't there. So, get ready Kurama, cause I'm going to have fun breaking you down!" She launched at him with her "Shiku-sen!" technique.

Kurama didn't make any sudden movements, in fact, he was just standing there, just staring at her as she closed the gap. This only seemed to piss off Juri, "Don't tell me your fear tactic was all you have! Tch, and here I thought you be more, FUN!" She emphasize the word fun as she landed her attack on Naruto, hitting him in the chest.

She put enough force in the kick to break through concrete, surely, he would've been heavily damaged. However, instead of Kurama being launched, she was the one that lost all momentum. As she, didn't, move, at, all! She jumped back as she saw her attack force HER back. As she lands a couple of feet in front of Kurama, she sees that he is still unfazed and staring at her. Her footmark on his sweater is visible, but before long, what appeared to be steam was coming off the mark, soon it was gone!

"You'll need to try a little harder than that Juri." As she looked more carefully, Juri sees red energy all around his body. Normally, people that have a continuous flow of chi that is visible, it means they are using it to perform a transformation to enhance their fighting style. Its like her Fang Shui engine glowing bright pink while in use.

"Tch, don't you fucking dare mock me! I still have more to give!" With that her onslaught of attacks continued. A constant flow of Chi-powered kicks connected on different parts of Naruto's body. But no reaction. Even after several combos of her attacks, he just stood there and took it. Finally, with her own roar, she unleashed her, "Sakkai Fuhazan!" A series of Chi blasts from her feet caused Kurama to be juggled in the air before being on the receiving end of one big blast, sending him to the building wall and breaking through it.

Seeing no movement at first, Juri laughed, thinking that she has won their fight. "Aww, what's wrong Kurama. Did you forget that your human. Ha, ha, ha, hah. *Sigh* Honestly, you men are all the same. All bravado, until they bite off more than they can chew." She pulls out her phone to see if she can take a picture of Kurama, a trophy for her latest victory. "Anyways, I need you alive, so do try to hold on. Also, if you still have your teeth, feel free to smile at your def-" She didn't get to finish her statement as rubble was heard moving from where Kurama was sent crashing through.

As she stopped moving forward, she squinted her eyes to see what state Kurama was in, expecting to see him barely standing, imagine her surprise when she sees Kurama, walking, with his HANDS in his POCKETS! The patches of blood and bruises on his exposed skin were seen also present but were fading away?! What, the hell, is this?

By the time Kurama got out of the hole in the wall and back onto the street, his wounds were gone. He looked almost the exact same as he did when he first arrived! The only thing noticeably different are darker stains on his red sweater, where he was bleeding before, and the light tears in the fabric as well.

"You are very strong Juri, but I've face countless foes. Big and small, with weaker and stronger techniques than what you used today so far. Do you know why I let you get a couple of free hits on me Juri?" He then places his hands into the same cross shape as before, then several puffs of smoke appeared around them. Soon, Juri was in the middle of up to 20ish clones of Kurama. "Its to see how much I need to hold back so I don't accidently kill you." With that statement, the clones charged at Juri.

With her Feng Shui Engine still active, she held on for a bit, landing a couple of hits. She noticed that some of the clones went down in one hit, whiles others took more damage and continued to fight. However, the numbers were too great, for every clone she took out, another one connected with an attack or two. If that wasn't bad enough, the clones are indistinguishable from the real Kurama, meaning she doesn't know when she is fighting the real one.

After a couple of minutes, Juri was seen breathing heavily. Bruises were forming all over her body and blood was seen leaking from her mouth. She was still in her stance and her eyes were locked on the remaining 6 clones.

She noticed that one of them, had a brick in their hands. As she noticed it, that Kurama threw it right at her, she moved her head is it passed by her. After moving back to face the remaining Kurama, she then hears a voice, No way! From Behind! "Lesson 1, Never let your opponent get behind you." She tried to turn around but was met with a huge punch to her cheek, "Uzu-!" she was sent flying towards the other Naruto, as two of them slid under her body, and used their legs to kick her up in the air, "Maki-!" then two more, hit her with an uppercut to her gut and another kick to her chest, sending her higher and higher in the air, before the last two Kurama were seen matching her height, One kneed her in the face, and the used punch to flip her around so that now she was facing the sky. She then sees another Kurama, above her bringing down his foot in an axe kick, "Barrage!" With that, he connected with his kick, sending her flying back down, leaving a big human size hole in the asphalt. As she screamed in pain from the attack, Kurama, while still in the air, stuck out his right palm, and a familiar blue orb was forming, one of the two clones that connected their attacks before the real one did, grabbed the real Naruto and threw him at her downed body. While her eyes were closed, she squinted up at the clouded, rainy sky, only to see a bright blue orb in Kurama's hand as he drew closer.

Realizing that she needed to move, as she tried, she realized that the damages received from her battle with the clones has left her body completely sore and unresponsive, all she can do was let out a yell of fear. "Odama Rasengan!" With that Naruto connected with his technique, a big explosion ensued as the Rasengan expanded, consuming all of Juri's body. They hole she was in, got bigger and deeper, eventually forming a crater in the middle of the road.

When the technique finished, Juri was seen at the bottom of a decently larger crater. Her clothes were barely together as the Rasengan tore through most of her white shirt, and almost all of her pants. Juri herself, was seen breathing very heavily. Little moans of pain occurred between sharp intake of breathe. A big spiral-like mark was left on her black bra-like shirt as well as her skin. Her legs appeared to be broken and she also seems to have bruising all over her body.

The battle was over.

Naruto, seeing that she wasn't fit to fight anymore, dropped his Chakra boost, and dispelled his clones. *Phew* I have to say, she was one hell of a fighter. My biggest challenge since coming to this world. I'd say I have a good understanding of my current abilities. Despite training in Chi techniques, Naruto always did wonder where he stood if he was to ever go all out in his techniques.

By far, Juri, with her weird eye power active, was the most powerful fighter he has sensed since re-awakening from stone. She easily can beat most mid-level Jonin. She's very comparable to a Kiba or a Asuma. Very impressive and so far, the closest to elite from his world.

Naruto was beginning to walk away before he sees and hears Juri getting out of the crater. She is seen crawling on her knees and one hand. She is groaning with every movement, once she crawled out of the crater, she started to stand. But her shaky legs and limp arm made Naruto almost feel sorry for her.

"Hah, ah, Where… Do y-you think you're… go…going?" She tried to get into her stance again but let out a yelp when her leg shifted uncomfortably and caused her fall to the ground. Naruto now feels sorrier for her. It appears she one of those that don't know when to quit.

"Juri, don't do this. Its done. Your hurt and I won. Make your way back to your bike and recover." He says before turning around and started to walk away. Juri, having been humiliated and beaten, lashed out and launched herself at him one last time. She had no technique, no martial arts, just a straight punch trying to connect with the bastard's head.

Almost like he had eyes at the back of his head, Kurama turned around and matched her punch with his own. When their fists connect, something unexpected happened. It could've been a combination of Juri using up all of Feng Shui engine's power, or the fact that Naruto was using some of the Nine tails Chakra, but when their fists connected, their began to see flashes of… memories, dreams?

Whatever it was, Both Juri and Naruto saw each other's memories, their traumas, and even their pain.

When their fists disconnected, both were knocked back, with Naruto landing on his butt, and Juri fell on her back. Naruto held onto his head as flashes of Juri's past came and went throughout his mind. After cradling his head for a bit, he then looks down at Juri and… she was seen crying. She is clearly unconscious, but her eyes had tears in them, pain was clearly displayed on her face. Was, was she seeing her memories as well.

You've been through a lot huh Juri. I'm, I'm sorry. No one was there to save you from your fate. No one should have to go through what you went through. Having made his mind, he made his way to her, she was in a lot of pain and her wounds were visible. Naruto decided that she needed help. First, he ran a healing jutsu to try and heal her bruises and cuts. Unfortunately, he wasn't skilled enough to heal all of her wounds perfectly, but at least he can heal them enough so that someone professional can finish her treatment.

Once most of her wounds were treated, he rubbed his hands together. A light green color formed as well. He knows that she may be an enemy, but at the same time, she needs help. He placed each hand on either side of her head and also rest her head on his lap. When his hands made contact, it was night and day. Her tears started to disappear, her tensed body was relaxing, and her pained expression changed to that of somewhat peaceful one. Realizing that she can't be left here in the street, he decided that he'll help her out.

He first created a shadow clone and had that clone store her bike in a scroll. Then, he pulled out an extra coat he had with him and covered Juri. Then he carried Juri in a bridal carry as he jumped onto the rooftop where the other clone that is with Bosch was. "Alright, go to the airport and get Bosch in the plane. I'll be dropping off our "guest" at the hotel room I got today." With those orders in place, the clone and Naruto went to their respected places.

One thing that Naruto did notice was that as he continued to flow his chakra into Juri's body, she slowly started to get more and more relaxed. Her body unconsciously tighten her hold around him and a soft, peaceful smile made its way on her face. To think, you were trying to kill me just a couple minutes ago. Juri, based on what he has seen, had a hard and painful life. One where he believes that her personality isn't what is always being displayed.

As he entered the hotel and the room, he placed her on the bed, leaving her with his coat. He placed her in the bed under the covers and was about to leave, but saw her face, while still calm, lost the smile she once had. Naruto then decided to leave her a note. Taking out his brush and some paper, he began to write. Consider this a "I'm sorry gift Juri. Stay safe and I hope you find peace. With what he created complete. He left the room, before requesting for a parking permit, and left her bike in the private garage of the hotel.

Once Naruto finished his business in the hotel, he began to make his way back to the airport. His mission was complete. Bosch is safe and alive. According to the clone, Bosch was awake for most of his fight, but passed out on the way to airport. Bosch, you have a lot of explaining to do. But I'm glad you are safe now. Naruto couldn't wait to get back to Metro City.

As he made his way across the rooftops though, a short, feminine figure was seen hiding in the alleyway below. Her red gloves stood out in the dark background.

"Target is on the move. Do I engage?", she states into her phone in her right hand, "Negative, we need more information on him. We will wait for now. We don't know his allegiance so we must be wary." A male voice came out from the phone, "Understood, Killer Bee out." (Note: Not Killer Bee from Naruto, one of the characters from SF has this as their other name.) The female figure walked back into the alleyway, making her way to the rooftop in the opposite direction of where Naruto went.

End Note:

And with that concludes this chapter of my story! I hoped you liked it.

Naruto's "transformation" is actually his red cloak from when he fought Neji in the Chunin exams I just added the red eyes cause I always thought they looked cool.

Anyways, I hope this displays the power gap Naruto has over other characters. From this point forward, Naruto will be more willing to use his Jutsu since he is getting more confident in his strength.

By far this is the biggest chapter yet. Please feel free to provide feedback on it.

For those that played World Tour, some of you may know that Bosch was actually taken by Juri, meaning that from this point onwards, Bosch's story and the story as a whole is going to be changed. Naruto's influence is shaking this world and we are seeing it unfold.

Don't worry, I have a great plan for Bosch and his character.

I may have stated this before, but I always felt like they could've written Bosch better, or even give him a more fleshed out backstory. Regardless, this is why I made the changes I made.

Once again, thank you all so much for the continued support, I will probably try to upload again soon, but don't quote me.

Anyways, next time, the World will be exposed to Metro City's Rising Star. Naruto will enter the tournament next time! See you all next time!

Here's to 2024! ^_^
