Chapter 9:
The Valiant in the Sub Zero Wars
Naruto is walking towards the Inuzuka clan compound with Ino. He wanted to see Kiba after he was healed by Tsunade. He was told by Tsume's partner Kuromaru that she wanted Naruto to come to her clan's compound for something important.
"So Naruto what do you think Lady Tsume needs from you." asked Ino as she looks at her boyfriend in question who thinks on the what she needs from him.
"Don't know Ino hime lets see what she has." said Naruto as they go inside of the clan compound of the Inuzuka.
As they walk up to the compound one dog, a large white wolf dog stares at him.
"What are you looking at boy." asked the wolfdog as Naruto responded. "A smartass wolfdog that's in our path." as the two stare each other down as he looks at them in question as neither one is scared of the other as the wolfdog nods his head in respect and walks away.
"Well let's go to the main house to see what Tsume wanted." said Naruto as Ino nods and follows alongside him.
Arriving at the main house Naruto knocks on the door as he hears a call of come in. Walking inside Naruto and Ino sees Tsume, and Hana helping Kiba to walk again.
"Hey Tsume, Hana, how are you two and how are you doing Kiba." said Naruto as he looks at the Inuzuka trio in question.
"Very good Naruto, we are just helping Kiba do his lower body exercises. Tsunade said that he would be walking again in a few days hence why I called you here." said Tsume as he look at Naruto in question.
"I need your help to get Kiba back into fighting condition. Because so far you have shown yourself to be arguably the best fighter among your age group of Shinobi." said Tsume as Naruto is surprised by Tsume's request.
"Wow mother, you managed to surprise him with that." said Hana as she looks at the blonde Uzumaki in question.
"Well just look at him, he looks like a world class athlete. I want Kiba to get better in the best way." said Tsume as Hana had to agree to her mother's comment on Naruto's physique and his fights in the exams.
'Hmm he's kinda cute and fierce in a sort of way. He looks like a real alpha with that physique' thought Hana as she looks at the blonde in question as she starts to blush at him.
"Say Naruto what kind of workout you use to get into the kind of shape you're in right now." asked Kiba as he looks at the blonde jinchuriki in question.
"Well Kiba, it's the kind that very much builds the mind and then the body." said Naruto in a cryptic tone as Kiba get's slightly nervous at the statement. As he senses a lion dog behind Naruto.
Inside of the Sarutobi compound.
Hiruzen and Jiraiya are plotting and scheming trying to find a way to control Naruto. They see he is too powerful for their plans as they look for a way to eliminate him.
"We have to do something because the demon container is getting too strong for us to control." said Hiruzen as he looks at Jiraiya in question.
"Yes and he'll see me coming. There must be a way to stop him in his tracks, maybe an A rank mission should see him killed." said Jiraiya as he looks at his teacher who nods and sends out a messenger bird to one of his contacts that would see Naruto destroyed.
Back with Naruto
Naruto is having a great evening with Ino. At first they had some problems with several hired assassins and gang members but after the two took care of them they feel a closeness with each other.
At the moment the two are having a picnic on the Hokage Monument as they see the sun sets in the distance near a battle ground near broken assassins.
"This is a nice picnic despite the assassins. I still can't believe I found a hidden prince of this village." said Ino as she caresses Naruto's face as he smiles at Ino.
"Well my princess it seems that things are getting interesting. I never thought I would have such a beautiful lover in this village. While I may be hated by the many, I am loved and understood by the few. I just hope I can overcome challenges that those in the shadows throw at me." said Naruto as he locks lips with Ino who then straddles his waist. The make out session becomes intense as the two start to explore each other's body as they feel their muscled forms up with their hands. Naruto soon stops as he looks at Ino and says "Hold on darling I have a mission briefing tomorrow. I know you want this. Heck I want this too but we may need to wait a little bit longer before we have any fun my flower lioness." As Ino calming down nods as she locks lips with him a final time as Naruto escorts her home.
"That kid is vicious in a fight but knows the value of waiting to please his lover." said one of the beaten assassins as the others painfully nod in agreement at the blonde's sexual restraint as Anbu arrives.
The next day.
Naruto in his modified chunin jacket is walking towards the Hokage Tower. As he is walking he gets a feeling of uneasy from the mission that he is going to be facing fiercer challenges. But remembering his efforts he had shown to himself. He is ready to meet the challenges of the future as he walks in more determined than ever before.
Naruto goes inside of the Hokage tower. As he walks in he sees Tsunade inside with a welcoming slime she and Shizune sports.
"You wanted to see me, Lady Hokage." asked Naruto as he looks at Tsunade in question.
"Yes Naruto, I have a special mission for you." answered Tsunade as she looks at the blonde jinchuriki in question.
"Sure what mission is that Lady Hokage." asked Naruto as Tsunade gives him the mission scroll as he reads it and asks "You want me to perform a combat recon mission in Tundra Country."
"Yes we have reason to believe that Orochimaru is having a meeting pertaining to arms from Snow Country. They are highly sophisticated and deadly. I want you to go in and see what they are up to." said Tsunade as Naruto nods as he then asks "What do you want me to do with the shipment." "If you see a chance to neutralize it, do so." said Tsunade as she says to Naruto's surprise she says. "This mission is an A rank. You will be accompanied by Tenten, Might Gai and Neji Hyuga for any backup." "Okay I will see them at the gate." said Naruto as he goes towards him home to get ready for this arctic mission.
Kurenai walks into the room after Naruto who is feeling proud of her student's progression in the Shinobi ranks as she thinks about her other students' growth.
'I have a feeling Naruto will go places with or without his heritage being known. I just hope IWA doesn't kill him.' thought Tsunade as she looks at Kurenai who had similar thought to our resident blonde fighter.
With Naruto
Naruto is walking down the street.
"Do you think it is time for my release." asked Kurama as he is hopeful of being let out.
"No not yet Kurama yet I need to release you in an area unfamiliar and with no witness and far from the range of any sensors." said Naruto telepathically to Kurama.
"Fair enough but what will you do about the civilian and elder council you know they'll try to disgrace you or kill you with either the failure of a mission of the rank of a higher up one." said Kurama thinks about it as he thinks about his friends.
"I have a feeling old man Furinji will cover that But I need to worry about my friends as with my mission ranks they may be in danger of being killed by the council with their fascist mindsets. I need to make sure that they will be well guarded and well equipped to handle those fools. Tsunade is a tough woman but she isn't invincible." said Naruto telepathically as he thinks long and hard about the problems as he then smirks at an idea as heads home to prepare for both the mission and the possibility of his comrades being threatened.
At the gate.
Team Guy is waiting on Naruto. Tenten and Neji each had been training for days in what Naruto had to teach. Rock Lee is unable to be with them sadly due to his treatments by Tsunade.
"Ah Naruto, how are you today?" said Might Guy as he looks at the blonde in question.
"Very good Guy sensei it seems like a beautiful day don't you think." asked Naruto as Guy nods in agreement.
"So Tenten, Neji, how is your Chinese kenpo training?" asked Naruto as he looks at the two in question.
"Very good. I am still new to this form of martial arts I still favor a weapon over my fist." said Tenten as Naruto chuckles.
"Well Tenten you have to remember your weapon is an extension of yourself, never the separate entity if you are a weapons fighter. " said Naruto in a sagely tone as Tenten nods.
"Well as refreshing as this is I believe we have to get going we have a mission to support you on." said Neji as he smiles slightly at the blonde in question. They begin their trek towards the location of the meeting the arms dealers are supposed to be located. "So tell me Naruto from what I have seen you are a practitioner of several fighting forms I have yet to truly comprehend in terms of their origins. Naruto this very interesting for you to learn such fighting forms." said Neji as Tenten nods and says "Yeah from Chinese Kenpo, Francombat, Aikido, Aikijutsu, Jujitsu, Judo, Karate, Tang Soo Do, Kitsugawa style Martial arts. What other forms do you possibly know exact?" "(Hmm) Well a large number of fighting forms. Some of which delves into military combat of past nations." said Naruto as his statement interest the team as Guy asks. "Which Nations do these military combat forms come from?" "Well the nations are America, Russia, Israel, Korea, India and Japan. However I had modified these forms to make good use of their respective combat tactics in the field along with enhancing their aggressive tactics and maneuvers." answered Naruto as he remembered how his teachers showed him their respective hand-to-hand tactics and skills
"Naruto, you are starting to really impress me as a martial artist." said Guy as Neji asks. "What are these fighting forms exactly." "These fighting forms to name a few are Krav Maga, Systema, Sambo, Kalaripayattu, Kapap, American Military Combatives, Ninjitsu and Bujutsu." answered Naruto as the trio are confused at the forms in question.
"Could you explain some of them please." asked Tenten as Naruto obliges.
"Well the first one is Krav Maga, a fighting discipline developed in the nation of Israel by a man named Imi Lichtenfeld. The discipline was built from Lichtenfeld's experience as a boxer and wrestler as well as his father's teachings in unarmed combat and many street battles he has experienced. This fighting discipline also draws influences from ancient combat techniques of his people's past. Combat Sambo was a fighting form developed during the Soviet Period of Russia. It is an amalgamation of wrestling and martial arts; it was developed to improve the Soviet military's hand to hand combat abilities by developing the soldier into an extreme fighting machine. Systema is a discipline that is Pre Soviet martial art . It adapts combat techniques from past invaders of Russia and blends them with Russian fighting techniques that makes it a highly adaptive free flow of martial discipline. Allowing the practitioner to be more fluid and capable against any manner of opponents whether they be singular or multiple. Kapap the big brother of Krav Maga was developed by Israeli defense forces to defend themselves from invaders combining forms such as boxing, judo, wrestling and several other combat disciplines to make a coherent discipline that overcomes the odds in battle. In short, all of these forms where designed to fight ferocious and ruthless opposition in fierce mortal combat. American Military Combatives delves into fighting disciplines coming from America and other Nations some of these are the previously mentioned." said Naruto as the trio are very intrigued by each of these nations' military forms.
"Well hopefully we can see those forms in action." said Guy as he would be interested in what Naruto has in battle technique and tactics as they move towards the port going towards Winter Country.
As they board a freighter towards said country a watcher from a distance away sends out a bird which goes towards his contractor in question.
The bird flying towards a hotel knocks on the window as Jiraiya receives the note. Opening and reading it. Jiraiya smiles at the plan that is coming together. 'Good The Brat doesn't know what will hit em.' thought Jiraiya as he goes back to his perverse activity.
Back with Naruto and Group
Naruto is sharpening several knives with a knife Tenten looking at with interest with it's leaf like designed blade as Tenten then asks "Say Naruto what kind of knife is that exactly" "Well this knife is called a Model 1917 Bolo knife it was used by a segregated unit of the American Military called the 369th infantry regiment nicknamed the Harlem Hellfighters a fierce unit that was on loan to the French Military during the world war of their time." explained Naruto as Tenten is interested in the knife as she examines it. "Here you can look at it Tenten if you want." said Naruto as Tenten giddy at being allowed to hold a knife like it she take hold of the handle and give the knife a few test swings. She looks at Naruto and gives it back and says. "Wow that knife has incredible balance with the feel of an axe or kama." "Well if you like that then here is a sword and short sword that is similar to the Bolo knife." said Naruto as he pulls out a sword with a curving forward blade and a short blade of similar but short length.
"Tenten I would like to introduce to you a more advanced variant of the Macedonian Kopis and the Nepalese Kukri." said Naruto as Tenten with burst of speed rushes over to both weapons to admire them.
"The Kopis sword was used by Ancient Macedonian Warriors of the Companions calvary and used by their king a very influential man named Alexander of Macedon. He had trained his troops into some of the most elite warriors of his time. The Kopis was designed for handling like a sword but was made to cut like an axe with the strikes it delivers." explained Naruto as Tenten takes hold of the Kopis sword and gives it several test swings as she looks at Naruto as he begins to explain the Kukri.
"The Kukri is a weapon used by Nepalese warriors known as the Gurhkas, a people who's warrior spirit is very renowned during that time. Known for their martial ability that have been often used as valiant mercenaries on the battlefield even teaching their skills to others. The kukri is their ancestral knife passed down from father to son." said Naruto as Tenten went to reach for went when Naruto grabs her hands and says "Well if you want to touch this knife. It must taste a little of your blood." as he pricks her skin with a cut as she looks at the blade in question admiring it's similar cutting ability and it's lethal ability as Naruto threw an apple at her and she used said blade to cut the apple in half.
"Wow this is one sharp knife." said Tenten as she smirks at Naruto for having such cool weapons.
As the team gets closer to Winter Country. Tenten and Naruto starts to get closer to one another. Aside from weapons and martial discipline. Tenten and Naruto started to develop feelings as during one of their Chinese Kenpo sparring sessions Tenten and Naruto had rolled around with Naruto pinning Tenten. The two had locked eyes for a moment and felt a sense of closeness as they looked into each other's eyes. The ship is undergoing a brutal onslaught of tidal waves and pirates. That had foolishly attacked but Naruto and the group beat the odds as they now have a clear path towards Winter Country.
At the moment Tenten and Naruto are eating together in their cabin. Enjoying each other's company. Naruto looks at Tenten with a smile as Tenten reflex the smile as she says. "Well Naruto, this trip has been exciting. Hopefully we can get to the mission area and deliver a critical blow to Orochimaru's forces." as she looks at Naruto with a interest in his character and personality. She can't shake the blush from her face when he has that smile on his face.
'Strong, extremely skilled, doesn't look down on women, hot, I really am in love.' thought Tenten as she is comfortable with the blonde in front of her.
As the ship nears Winter Country the group set out towards the mission area on one of the land boats. Naruto readies himself for battle as he gets out his winter combat gear which consisted of a balaclava, his chunin vest over a tactical winter qing pao, baggy pants tucked into combat boots. Armed with a bow and arrow, Kopis and kukri, kunai, shuriken, impact bombs and collapsible bo staff.
"Wow Naruto, nice battle gear." said Neji as he admires the combat gear Naruto is wearing. "Thanks Neji I had a really good teacher on winter combat and tactics." said Naruto as he goes ahead of them to recon the area.
As he is moving he is unsure of the area as he feels faint chakra signatures in the trees around him. Team Guy senses what Naruto seems to be on alert as before Naruto knew what was going on he was dodging a storm of kunai.
Looking around Naruto was being attacked by Oto shinobi who seems to be targeting him the most as Team Guy is fighting through a group of Oto Ninja as the others are seem to herding towards a clearing near a castle as they surround him. As they block off the Uzumaki Namikaze from the Taijutsu group.
Naruto soon hears the cackling of Orochimaru himself as Naruto scowls at him as the Snake Sannin says. "Kukuku Welcome Naruto to the ground of fallen heroes which will be your grave." "Oh and how will you accomplish such a feat necromancer talking me to death." said Naruto as he looks at Orochimaru as he smiles as his bodyguards bring forward a large cylindrical container of sorts as Orochimaru tosses something to the albino of the group as he then inserts it into the container. After a few minutes the container soon breaks apart as soon a mutant with qualities of a grey skinned man with demonic qualities. As he stares at Naruto with eyes of a predator.
"Naruto kun I would like for you to introduce my creation Onijin made from the cells of Hashirama Senju himself combined with the DNA of some of the strongest predator's on the planet with the added bonus of gaining his combat skills and knowledge. He will be your master and destroyer." said Orochimaru as Naruto says "Are you done showboating or what." Orochimaru angered is about to retort until Onijin beats him to it. "Insolent dog I will teach you to mock my father." said Onijin as Naruto as he snarls at Naruto as the blonde get ready to fight.
"Come then Onijin show this so called Insolent dog what not to do if you can. Let's dance tiny" said Naruto as Onijin gets into a fighting stance that both Naruto and Might Guy recognizes.
'Orochimaru you fiend' thought Guy as both he and Naruto are looking at the fighting stance of the first Hokage.
'Nature Fist'thought Naruto as he readies himself against the superhuman onslaught of the genetically engineered warrior.
Mortal Kombat Conquest Eternal Warrior
Onijin and Naruto begin their fierce contest of martial skill. Genetic engineering verses Tenacious Spirit.
Onijin is hitting hard knocking the hell out of Naruto as he floor him with a punch but Naruto gets up with determination and takes the fight back to Onijin with fire in his eyes. Onijin attacks using the natural disaster that is nature fist from the refine ape like hand strikes, the swift kicking techniques that seem like a dragon's whipping tail. Naruto defends himself with determination in his will as he lands a hard kick that sends him flying. Naruto is panting as from the attack patterns and strategy Onijin has employed so far Naruto is on the ropes.
However Onijin getting into a stance that Naruto recognizes from a fighting style he has seen before in his own fighting style. 'No way it couldn't be. The First Hokage had found the Cube of Thunder and Wind before I did. So I am facing the result of his training. The Nature Fist. Amazing from what I am defending against Nature fist builds on top of Pankration, Karate, Kickboxing and Chinese Kenpo' thought Naruto as he reengages in the fight.
Team Guy is fighting through scores of ninja of Oto as they are fighting with formidable skill and determination.
Naruto and Onijin exchange masterful punches, kicks, sweeps, throws and takedowns. Naruto is taking up battle damage as they switch to weapons. Onijin fights using a katana and Naruto uses his Kopis. Naruto was amazed by the blade work of the fighting form of the first Hokage. Every parry meets a strike every unarmed combat technique is made. 'This is getting no were. Onijin is my equal in terms of Taijutsu. It would be best if I go with my jutsu for this fight.' thought Naruto as he begins his new fight with the super warrior launching wind and thunder jutsu's at the genetically engineered warrior. Onijin counters with Mokuton surprising everyone as he attacks with a wood spike trying to impale Naruto.
Naruto counters with defensive thunder jutsus as he send out powerful shockwaves to destroy the wood spikes. The two reengages in close combat this time Naruto knowing the ins and outs of Nature fist changes his tactics and approach as he hits Onijin with a spinning back kick that Onijin is unable to answer. Naruto uses a scissors takedown on Onijin and striking him in the throat. Naruto rolls to his feet as Onijin gets to his somewhat hurt. Naruto throws an elbow and cross combo that is half way blocked by Onijin who is hit with said cross. Orochimaru is shocked as Naruto begins to adapt to Nature Fist.
The Battle gets even more intense as Naruto decides to use of his skills in Combat Sambo and Krav Maga as he launches a bloody thirsty assault on the genetically engineered warrior.
Naruto lands a boxing style jab, cross, uppercut combination that sees Onijin be knocked back as Naruto starts to take control of the stalemate as he then uses a clinch to land a headbutt that staggers Onijin as Naruto lands an uppercut and a spinning heel kick to the super warrior. Naruto gets Onijin on the ground and proceeds to break his arm and a leg. As he proceeds to pummel Onijin with punch after punch as he proceeds to stomp him in the throat seemingly killing him.
"Impossible my creation is unbeatable he should not have lost." said Orochimaru with rage in his eyes.
Song end
"Well maybe you should have brought back the real deal." said Naruto as he leaps away from Orochimaru who lunged at him.
Naruto backflips away as he lands near his teammates as he pants hard. "Naruto that was youthfully done." said Might Guy as he kicks an Oto Ninja away.
"Yes that was incredible. You managed to adapt to the first Hokage's Nature Fist and overcome it." said Tenten as she threw a hail storm of kunai at a charging group.
"Thank you but I believe that this is no longer about reconnaissance but about survival." said Naruto as Neji chips in "Yes we need to retreat there are too many." as the Hyuga Juken strikes an Oto Ninja away and uses a hip toss on a pouncing Oto ninja.
Naruto gets out a scroll and yells to Neji. "Neji, your eyes shut them off." as Neji did as told as Naruto soon opens it and unleashes a monstrously bright light that blinds everyone of the enemy force.
The Konoha group runs through the forest dealing with small ambushes as efficiently as possible as they leap on the freighter they came on as Orochimaru look at them after catching up as he scowls at being thwarted of the Uzumaki's blood.
"Well that was exciting" said Naruto as he soon falls to the ground greatly exhausted and deeply bruised as Tenten goes over to roll him on his back to see that Naruto is deeply injured as she takes off his mask.
"Thank you Tenten." said Naruto as he smiles at the Brunette who smiles back with a blush as she helps him to his feet as they go back to their cabin. Might Guy and Neji looks at the two with Neji having a deep smile on his face at Tenten making a move on Naruto. While Guy thinks. 'Incredible Naruto was able to adapt to the Nature Fist fighting style of Shodai Hokage and overcome it. It's an amazing feat of martial skill. I have had the utmost diligence in researching the Nature Fist from the notes of the Shodai himself but I can never hope to understand the forms needed to perform the style.' thought Might Guy as he thinks back to the fight in question.
With Tenten and Naruto.
Tenten is treating Naruto's injuries while Kurama is able to heal the bruises caused by Ninja from chunin to jonin level but Naruto fought someone that was near Kage level in terms of strength and skill. "Thank you Tenten for treating my injuries." said Naruto as Tenten rubs pain numbing cream on his back as she feels the hardness of his muscles.
'Kami these muscles feel like iron. How much physical training did Naruto put himself through to get these muscles.' thought Tenten as she felt the blonde's strong back muscles while fighting off a blush. After much Massaging Naruto and Tenten went to sleep in separate beds. With Tenten looking at his form and thinking to herself. "What a body. To train as hard as you do is something of sight but for you to have a body that looks sculpted by Ame-no-Tajikarao himself. You are something else entirely.' thought Tenten as she went to sleep. As Naruto is in his mindscape with Kurama.
Inside the mindscape
Naruto is play cards with Kurama.
"So Hashirama had learned much of his martial arts from the cube of Thunder and Wind," said Kurama as he got a card from the deck.
"Yes it would seem so. Onijin's skill was amazing, however his technique was an imitation of the real deal." said Naruto as he drew out a card.
"The council is up to no good and with Hiruzen and Jiraiya I would have to look over my shoulders for them." said Naruto as he gets a full house that is beaten by a Royal flush.
"Yes it would seem so. So what's your plan exactly, how are you going to deal with them." said Kurama as Naruto shuffles the deck.
"They'll get theirs in no time but right now I need to deal with healing and regenerating for I have Orochimaru gunning for me, IWA gunning for me and the Akatsuki to deal with right now." said Naruto as he deals the cards.
"Yes but quick question." asked Kurama as he looks at the blonde as he asks "What is it?" "When are you going to take that vixen who is deeply attracted to you and the one that is waiting at home to your bed do the nasty with them." asked Kurama as Naruto blushes at the question in general
"Well that will come when I am ready, not when I want to. I respect them, Tenten is someone I am starting to know. I don't know hardly a thing about her. I want to ask her what she feels about me" said Naruto as he deals a deck.
"Ah Humans have no sense of hurry when they meet a mate with so much complex mating rituals." said Kurama as they keep up the card game.
Elsewhere in Konoha
Tsunade is looking over paperwork when Shizune rushes into the room. "Lady Tsunade, we have news that Team 7 is in trouble and needs reinforcements." said Shizune as she shows her the paper written by Sai.
"Do we have any teams nearby?" asked Tsunade. "Yes Team guy and Naruto are nearby." said Shizune as Tsunade thinks that this may be good experience for Naruto to have says to her apprentice with calm and firm tone. "Have Naruto go reinforce team 7 while team guy is to return for debriefing on their mission with Naruto's report with them." as Shizune nods as she goes towards the messenger room to message the team.
Back with Naruto
Naruto can be seen talking with Tenten. He had started to get to know Tenten. Tenten had explained to him why she wanted to be a kunoichi. She also wants to show that women shouldn't be looked down upon.
Naruto sees in Tenten's eyes a fire inside as he sees the strength of her will. Naruto tells Tenten of how he has abandoned the goal of being Hokage of Konoha as he feels Konoha doesn't deserve him as the Hokage due to his situation as the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi.
Tenten feels a sort of sympathy for the blonde as Naruto was dealt a bad hand at life as. After Naruto revealed to her of his secret of being the Kyuubi she felt a bit of sadness for the blonde especially after he had relayed to her of his treatment and care under the Sandaime of how he had did nothing to stop many of the attacks. She is even more angry that the Yondaime had trusted the man to have Naruto seen as a hero but instead Hiruzen has shown a level of dishonor that is down right sacrilege to the sacrality between Hokage's.
As they are traveling, Tenten and Naruto are traveling close to one another. Forming a sort of bond with each other as they are about to travel back to Konoha when Might Guy get a Radio communication from Konoha.
"Well team it looks like we have a change in plans it seems my old rival Kakashi and his team are in trouble in Snow Country and Lady Hokage has called us to help back him up." said Might Guy as Naruto nods as he looks at Guy in question.
"But Guy Sensei Naruto is hurt, he should go back." " Don't worry Tenten I will be fine my injuries are the lest of our worries." said Naruto, reassuring Tenten with a smile.
The group move towards Snow Country with Naruto getting into new tundra combat gear. Moving the group sees a site of horror as they see what appears to be an armored train launching kunai on a wave of samurai. Naruto acting quickly throws an explosive kunai at the cannon car destroying it as Team Guy plus Naruto arrive on the scene.
Naruto throws two more at the back of the cannon cars. As Team Guy helps with any surviving Samurai to see them back away from the battle. Naruto manages to disable the cars as before he could react a compartment opens up revealing an airship that soon hooks Koyuki from the ground before any of the Ninja could get to her.
As the airship escapes the scene. Naruto runs to the group and asks "Please tell me that, that wasn't the client that we were hired to protect." As Guy nods as Naruto says. "Dammit."
"Ah she wasn't the objective this crystal was." said Kakashi as he shows them the crystal.
"Oh and what makes this crystal so special?" asked Naruto as he looks at Kakashi with a critical eye as Kakashi says. "Well Genin if you must know that crystal is the power source to a war machine that Doto Kazahana wants operational for conquest. I manage to snag it from her before she ran off from Sai." Naruto starting to get angry from not only Kakashi's disrespect of his rank but also getting their clint captured asks in an angry tone. "Were these Samurai in on this plan?" as Kakashi not aware of the situation, says in a condescending tone. "No, they weren't informed of this ruse. I figured they might try to stop me from doing so and ruin the plan." Naruto hearing enough lunges at Kakashi with rage as he starts beating him senseless. Team Guy and some of team 7 try to restrain him with hardly any luck as Naruto beats Kakashi viciously as Naruto shouts with each strike. "You man whoring, perverted, egotistical, bigoted, boyish fool." Naruto lands punch after punch until Naruto stops and says to him. "If you had any shame any conscious thought, you would have thought to communicate with your allies and your client. But no, what you did was paramount to dereliction of duty to the mission and cowardice and to say that you were the student of my father is a joke." Kakashi barks out. "You are not his son you are a bastard made from that island whore of a mother."
"Consider yourself a disgrace of a ninja Kakashi. For when this is done my report will absolutely show your actions today and will be marked on your permanent record." said Naruto as he moves towards the direction of the airship but not before creating several shadow clones. "You all may want to help the survivors and see that they get medical help." said Naruto as he gets out a medical storage scroll and moves towards the location.
Team Guy, knowing that Naruto has a point goes to treat the wounded.
"Why aren't you going after him Guy, why are you helping these fools." said Kakashi as the group looks at him with disgust as Tenten answers. "Because he is going to help clean up your screw up." as Tenten helps a Samurai to his feet for treatment.
"Disgraceful Kakashi, I will stand by Naruto's statement at the debriefing." said Guy as he goes to help the Samurai in question.
With Naruto
Naruto is following the Airship with incredible speed moving through the forest and tundra with incredible ease. Naruto masterfully moving with excellent agility through the trees comes upon the site of the fortress. Naruto seeing this takes out his binoculars to see the guard positions and routines while also seeing Koyuki in question being dragged inside by Doto himself.
Naruto move towards the weak point of the fortress he climbs not using any chakra in his movement Naruto slips inside of the fortress and moves through the shadows like a panther.
Seeing a ninja by himself he pounces on him swiftly, killing him. Dragging his body into an alley he takes his uniform as he moves through the fortress with relative easy. Naruto heads towards the prison to find Koyuki as well as several Samurai warriors of unique armor as they turn towards Naruto with a scowls and asks "What your bosses wanting to torture us some more?" As Naruto swiftly disables 5 of the guards in a blink of an eye kicking one into a guard while also throwing a knife at a guard hand about to sound the alarm and moving to swiftly disable him with a knee to the face.
Naruto getting the keys moves to release each of the prisoners as he asks "Thank God I came here just in time." as he frees Koyuki as she then asks "Who the hell are you?" "I am Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze I am here to correct the mistake Team 7 had made with their stupid sensei." answered Naruto as the Samurai then asks "What will you do about Doto and his ninja they are way too strong." said the leader as Naruto then says. "Well it's going to be a good old fashion brawl but I want you Samurai to watch over her and get her back to the Konoha group." said Naruto as he makes 30 shadow clones have them go Berserker.
"Wait you could die in against these killers." said Koyuki concerned for someone for the first as Naruto says "Lady Koyuki a ninja has a responsibility that will see them even dying for not only their country but also what they believe in. If you have it in your heart to care please be sure to have that care for your people and their well being. While you may have known me for only a few minutes please be sure to remember those samurai who gave everything for you." as he sees in her eyes a coldness that is melting for concern of someone who had saved her and cared to save her.
As she nods. As Naruto goes Berserk as he says to them "Follow me." they group follow the lead of Naruto and his clone shock troop as they fight through prison guards as he smashes through them with a savage force.
Rush N Attack Stage 2 theme
Naruto and his group of savage berserker clones begin their battle with many of the Snow Ninja savagely mauling them with their original's martial arts skills as the Samurai make their way towards the outside of the forest.
Naruto and his savage clones are soon surrounded by Doto's ninja forces.
"So your the one who managed to break in here and cause such destruction. Why not you come work for me and use those gifts for me." said Doto as he looks at Naruto who says "No thanks pal I already work for Konoha and I am doing a job that Kakashi failed to do." "Come on boy your outnumbered even if those clones are different they are still clones what could you possibly do on your own." said Nadare Roga as he and his comrades look at Naruto with a condescending look as Naruto says. "Well looks like the odds are even." as he leaps into battle.

"Your Alive thank the gods." said Koyuki as she hugs the blonde with eased worry as she looks at him with a smile.
As the elder from a distance away can smile at Naruto's trial of endurance. 'Your skills are reaching many great heights and your near mastery of combat is serving you well in the area of battle.' thought The Elder as he shapeshifts into an arctic wolf and goes towards the east.
