Chapter 24: Finally

Previously on Everyone has darkness…

"Well I'll be damned!" Naruto exclaimed, finally withdrawing his hand from Orochimaru's body…and in said hand was one little ring…

"NO!" Orochimaru screamed.

"YES! YUNIFAI!" Orochimaru's ring merged with Naruto's and kanji for 'ten' appeared on it.

"Hmhmhmhahahahahaha… AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Earlier with Kakashi and Ay…

CLANG!

"Dammit!" Kakashi cursed when the Raikage blocked his sword slash with bare hand and kicked him in the ribs afterwards. 'Sasuke told the truth, this sword can conduct lightning… but this guy has much more control over this element than I do…'

"Haha! Your swordsmanship is impressive. However it won't be enough to defeat me!" The Raikage stated and lunged at Kakashi with his insane speed.

The Konoha jounin managed to block first three punches, but then his eyes widened when Ay simply grabbed Kusanagi sword by the blade with his bare hand.

"Too slow." Ex-Kumo leader stated and punched Kakashi in the stomach. The jounin gasped as air was knocked out of him and released his hold on the sword. "Hmm… not a bad weapon." Ay grabbed Kusanagi by the handle and channeled his chakra into it. "Yes, not bad indeed!"

Kakashi's teeth clenched while he struggled to his feet. 'Is that my limit…?' He asked himself. 'Was I able to achieve anything only because of that eye?'

"Great Hatake Kakashi…" The Raikage continued. "What a disappointment." He said, raising the sword over his head. "It is over."

'Is it…?' Kakashi asked himself again. 'Will I die here?' His eyes closed slowly and suddenly he remembered a moment from his past… the face of his dead best friend.

"Never give up!"

'I won't!' Kakashi thought just as sword made contact with his skin. "Bushin Daibakuha!"

Raikage's eyes widened as his already defeated enemy blew up right in front of him. "What the…?" He asked, regaining his composture.

"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" Kakashi exclaimed, creating two copies of himself.

"You actually think that will help you against me?" The dark skinned man asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I do!" All three Kakashis stated and made different handseals. "Fuuton: Daitoppa no jutsu!" The first one shouted.

"Suiton, Suiryuudan no jutsu!" The second added.

"Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu!" The third screamed.

Ay just stood his ground while three jutsus approached him almost simultaneously.

"Don't underestimate me!" He stated. "Ninpo: Raigeki no yoroi!" The large man shouted as lightning enveloped his body completely… and then three techniques hit him.

BOOM!

A massive explosion echoed through the area… Kakashi however knew it was far from over. Immediately he uncovered a small scroll and cut his finger open.

'Please work!' He thought just when he slammed both of his hands into the ground. "Kuchiose no jutsu!"

Meanwhile Ay stood in the middle of a large smoke cloud with no significant injuries on his body.

"Is that all you got, jounin?" He asked mockingly. "I thought you will be more of a…"

Words died in his throat, when a large dog lunged at him from below the ground.

"What the fuck?!" The Raikage asked in disbelief when one dog after another attacked him, seemingly believing he was a snack. "I've had it with you!" The large man punched one dog, then kicked another and went for the next punch… but smoke was still there and obstructed his vision. As a result he missed and mid size dog managed to bite hard on his right bicep.

"Shit!" he screamed in pain and tried to shake the annoying animal off, but before he managed to do that, another dog bit him on his left leg and another somehow grabbed him from behind. "Useless nuisances! I will have your…" The Raikage stopped in midsentence… as soon as he heard a screeching birds… 'Is that…?'

"Raikiri!" Kakashi shouted, appearing in front of his opponent with lightning blade around his right hand.

'Fuck!' Raikage thought. 'I have to…!' He tried to move, but dogs still got a good grip on him. "Raiton no yoroi!" The large man did the jutsu, efficiently throwing all dogs away… But he still didn't have enough time to dodge Kakashi's attack.

"AAAAH!" Ex-leader of Kumo screamed in pain as jounin's hand pierced his shoulder and released his hold on Kusanagi sword.

'Damn, he still managed to dodge at the last second…' Kakashi thought, withdrawing his arm.

"You will pay for that!" The Raikage stated and took a battle stance again… But then he felt a heat on his left hand. The dark skinned man looked down to see that the skull on his ring now had two shining eyes in it. "Pity. Looks like we'll have to continue this another time."

Konoha shinobi's eyes widened as his opponent's body turned into lightning and disappeared.

'What was that about…?' The jounin thought, but then it dawned on him. "Oh no!"

Earlier with Tsunade and Mei…

"Grr…." The Hokage growled as her enemy dodged yet another one of her deadly strikes. "You can't run from me forever!" She shouted in anger.

"Hahaha!" The Mizukage laughed in response. "Who said I was running?"

"I say!"

"Hn, foolish." Mei stated. "You should know better than to underestimate your opponent… But you know what, go ahead."

"What?"

"Go ahead, underestimate me." Mei stated with a smirk. "It will just be more delightful to see you crumble on the ground."

Tsunade's eyes narrowed. "Pretty confident. But you seem to forgot who you're up against." She paused. "I am Senju Tsunade, one of Densetsu-no Sannins! You think you are a match for me?"

"Hmhmhmhmhm…" The Mizukage giggled. "Of course I do! After all, I know all about your skills." She recovered one card from her dress and read it over. "Senju Tsunade, one of the legendary three. Currently the Hokage of Konohagakure no sato. Believed to be the greatest medical specialist in the world, for no one has managed to get a full grasp of her healing techniques… yet. Fighting skills are very slim though. Attacks with super powered punches and kicks… very slow though. Has no particular fighting skills except taijutsu…"

The Hokage gritted her teeth. "How do you know so much?"

Mei grinned evilly and continued to read. "P.S. And if you're hearing this, Tsunade, know that I wish you to kiss my ass. Truly yours… if you can get thirty years younger, Uzumaki Naruto."

Tsunade growled louder and punched the ground, creating a small earthquake.

"Ops!" Mei said and jumped high into the air in order to escape Tsunade's attack, but the sannin was already in the air.

"Take this!" The Hokage screamed and threw another super powered punch at Mizukage's face… only to have her wrist grabbed and air kicked out of her by Mei's foot.

"Too slow, honey!" The Mizukage stated, then twisted her body and threw her enemy hard into the ground, creating a small crater.

"Whosh!" Mei exclaimed, landing gracefully. "Look at you…" She started, watching how Tsunade struggled to her feet after a hard fall. "No woman traits. Brash, always bitching and screaming, oh and always punching men for being perverts. How stupid is that?! Punching a man for admiring your beauty, you should thank them!" Then she sighed. "You're more like a man to me… your breasts are the only give away…"

"Shut up!" Tsunade shouted. "You're nothing but slut! I will only give myself to a man I love!"

"Hmhmhm…" Mei chuckled. "How dumb… To restrain yourself with useless morals, which will only hurt you in the end." She paused. "I may be a slut from your point of view, but even so, I'm a happy slut and you're unsatisfied 'lady'. Now answer this… which is better?"

"I SAID SHUT UP!" Tsunade lashed out again with as much anger as she could provide.

"How easy…" The Mizukage stated and caught Tsunade's fist again. "Naruto-kun was right… you were never suited to be a Kage. Too short tempered."

Hokage's eyes widened when her enemy brought her palm in front of blonde's face.

"Game over." Mei stated. "You were no challenge at all…" Then she concentrated her chakra and prepared to melt Tsunade's head, when suddenly…

"Ninpo: Kamaitachi no jutsu!"

Having extremely good reflexes allowed the Mizukage to narrowly dodge a deadly wave of cutting wind.

"Interfering in my fight was not the smartest idea, little girl." Mei stated with more annoyance than anger.

"Call me stupid then." Temari stated, helping the Hokage to her feet. "Tsunade-sama, are you alright?"

Tsunade gave her a small smile. "What do you think?"

"Not really…"

"Right. I have two broken ribs and a twisted shoulder." The Hokage said. "I could repair all that in no time, but I don't think she will allow me to." She added, pointing at Mizukage.

"Is she strong?" The Suna kunoichi asked.

Tsunade nodded. "I hate to admit it, but yes, she is. She managed to do all that to me… and didn't even use any ninjutsu in the process."

"I understand." Temari stood up with a serious look on her face.

"Oh? Youth taking over?" The Mizukage mocked.

Temari ignored the previous statement and spoke to Tsunade instead. "I will hold her off for a while. Try to heal yourself in the meantime, Hokage-sama."

"Understood."

"Hahaha!" Mei laughed. "You?! Hold me off?! Pu-lease! I'm second in speed only to Naruto-kun himself… and probably Raikage."

Temari's eyes narrowed. "Maybe… But answer this, are you faster than wind?"

Mei raised an eyebrow. "Eh?"

"Dai kamaitachi no jutsu!" Temari shouted swinging her large fan.

Few seconds later…

"Hmhmhm… I guess I'm faster than wind, ne?" Mei asked mockingly from behind suna kunoichi.

"H-How?" Temari asked in disbelief.

Mei shrugged. "Well, you see…" But then words died in her throat when she noticed… "Ah! My dress!"

Indeed, there was a long cut on her dress, showing her perfect skin.

"Do you know what you've done, bitch?!" Mei screamed, releasing enormous amount of killing intent. "That dress was a gift from Naruto-kun! You'll die for that, and you'll die with interest!"

"I won't give up without a fight!" Temari shouted.

"And you won't fight alone!" Tsunade added, landing beside her ally.

"Great!" The Mizukage stated. "I'll just kill both of you in one shot!" She said and started to concentrate her acid mist again, when… "Oh?"

Tsunade's eyes narrowed when Mei stopped her doings and looked surprisingly at her left hand.

"Looks like this one's over." The Mizukage suddenly stated. "Let's do this again, okay?" And without waiting for an answer… "Great, I'll be waiting. Ja ne!" Then her body turned into mist and disappeared.

"Where did she go?" Temari asked.

"Good question." Tsunade answered… But then her eyes widened. "Could it be?" She tried to jump off, but her wounds did not allow her to.

"Tsunade-sama!" Temari yelled, catching her fellow blonde. "Are you alright?"

"It doesn't matter!" The Hokage shouted in anger. "We must get to Orochimaru, NOW!"

Earlier with Sasuke, Kirabi and recently joined Gaara…

"Sand boy?" Kirabi asked. "Fighting you will bring me joy!"

"What are you doing here, Gaara? I thought you were supposed to escape." Sasuke exclaimed, holding Rebellion in front of himself.

"I'm not the one to leave my friends." The Kazekage stated.

"Foolish." Raikage's brother stated. "You are not an opponent for me… too weak."

Gaara's eyes narrowed. "We'll see about that."

"We don't have to see anything." Killer Bee countered. "I know everything about you, ex-jinchuriki… and how Naruto-sama saved your life."

"What are you talking about?" Gaara asked in confusion.

"Hmhmhm…" Kirabi chuckled. "You think that old hag saved your life just for the sake of it?" He waged his finger at his opponent. "No, no my friend. Naruto-sama convinced her to do that."

'Something's not right…' Sasuke thought. "Wait a second, I thought Naruto let Akatsuki to extract the biju from Gaara. Why would he save his life afterwards?"

A huge grin appeared on Kirabi's face. "That's your problem, you limited fools. You can't see past your nose." He stated. "Why Naruto-sama saved his life? Very simple. He knew that without your demon you're nothing." He said, pointing at Gaara. "Your automatic defense doesn't work anymore and your chakra level has greatly decreased. Add to that your poor leadership qualities and here you are - a useless leader for an enemy village. Great, isn't it?"

"Don't listen to him, Gaara!" Uchiha shouted. "All he's trying to do is to confuse you! You are strong!"

The Kazekage looked down. "No… he's right." He paused. "Weak… poor leader…"

"No!" Sasuke shouted again. "Don't give in to it! Even if he's right, your people are depending on you! Don't let them down… because if you do, then he's right!"

Gaara's head immediately shot up with great determination in its eyes.

"Oh bravo! You have a way with words, Uchiha." Killer Bee exclaimed. "You know… you sounded somewhat like Naruto-sama right now…"

"Shut up!" Sasuke screamed and lashed out. "I'm nothing like that bastard!"

"Hn." Kirabi blocked Rebellion easily with one of his swords, but raised an eyebrow still. "You are using lightning as well?"

Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed as he tried to overpower his enemy. "What are you talking about? I didn't use lightning right now."

Kirabi raised his second eyebrow. "Eh?"

"I am devil's arm." Rebellion said inside Sasuke's head. "I cannot be broken."

'Oh, that explains it.' Uchiha thought, but then…

"No matter." The dark skinned man stated. "Even if it is indestructible, you only have one…"

Gaara's and Sasuke's eyes widened, when their enemy drew seven blades… simultaneously.

"I on the other hand have eight. Can you keep up with me?" And with that Raikage's brother attacked.

"Stay back, Gaara!" Sasuke shouted with his Sharingan activated. "He's too unpredictable. Even with my bloodline I can't predict his movements!" He added, trying to dodge another slash… trying the keyword.

"Ahh!" The Uchiha screamed, receiving three cuts. They were not deep, but still painful. One landed on chest, another on left arm and third on right leg.

"Weak." Kirabi stated. "If this is your limit, then you have no chance of defeating Naruto-sama."

Sasuke gritted his teeth in anger. "I WILL DEFEAT HIM!"

Raikage's brother rolled his eyes. "Then I guess you should know that Naruto-sama can crush me on his worst day."

"Then we just have to unite our strength." Was heard from behind.

"What?" Killer Bee turned around just in time to…

"Ryuusa Bakuryuu!"

Dark skinned man's eyes widened when he saw a massive wave of sand advancing on him.

"Crap!" He cursed out loud and started to evade.

"Get him, Gaara!" Sasuke shouted.

"I'm trying, dammit!" Kazekage answered with sweat starting to appear on his forehead.

Finally he managed to get a hold of Kirabi's leg.

"Shit!"

"Got you!" Gaara yelled in triumph. "Sabaku Taisou!"

CRASH!

"Nice!" Sasuke appeared beside his ally and patted him on the shoulder. "You got the motherfucker!"

Gaara however showed less enthusiasm. "Get ready."

"What?"

BOOM!

"Hahaha!" Kirabi laughed, erupting from below the ground. "Is that all you got, kids, because if it is then I'll cut you down like weeds!"

"Gaara…" Sasuke said. "Can you keep him busy for a minute?"

"I'll try." Kazekage answered. "Why, something's on your mind?"

Uchiha nodded. "It's the strongest technique in my arsenal right now. It didn't work against Naruto… but maybe it will against this guy…"

"Okay, I'm on it." Gaara said and stood up from his knees. "Try this! Sabaku Rou!"

"Oh, big…" Raikage's brother said, watching red head's another attack advance at him. "Oh… OH!" Suddenly he took out a small notebook and started to write something totally ignoring the huge sand ball. "I've created a terrific rhyme! Naruto-sama's gonna love this!"

"You have no time to create rhymes!" Gaara screamed, concentrating harder.

Kirabi sighed, putting back his notebook. "Kids these days… have no respect for their elders."

"What about your Naruto-sama?" Echoed in his head. "He's almost the same age as these two…"

'Shgut up!' The jinchuriki snapped. 'Naruto-sama is the greatest!'

"He still doesn't like your rhymes though…" Hachibi said. "I don't really either… Actually I don't even know who does…"

'Oh, I'll show you! My next one is gonna be a real hit!'

"Yep, like the last 243…"

'I said shut up!' With that the dark skinned man drew two of his swords and crossed them above his head. "Raikyuu!" Instantly a ball of concentrated lightning chakra appeared at the sword's tips. "Take this!"

Gaara could only watch in astonishment as his sand prison got completely disintegrated in a matter of seconds.

"I-Impossible…"

"Nothing is impossible with the force…"

Pause.

"Now where did that came from?!"

'Fuck me if I know…' Kirabi thought. "Anyway, it's time for you to… what the…?"

"There will be no dodging this time!" Sasuke shouted. "Disappear within the thunder! Kirin!"

"Yooooo…" Killer Bee looked up in astonishment just before a massive lightning made beast descended right onto him.

Now it was Gaara who landed near his ally when the light died down. "Good job. You got him."

Sasuke smirked. "Heh, thanks…"

Suddenly.

"ALL RIGHT, TIME FOR NUMBER EIGHT!"

"Oh, shit! Is that…?"

"Yes, that's his bijuu." Gaara stated, watching at the Eight Tailed demon in his full glory.

"Say good bye, kids! Because I'm Hachibi…!"

Pause.

"Oh, crap…"

Then suddenly his body started to return to its normal state.

"What is he doing?" Sasuke asked in confusion.

"He's suppressing demon's power…" Gaara replied. "But why…? He could kill both of us easily in that form. Unless…"

"Unless what?"

"Well, since you're not going to, I'll say it for you." Kirabi exclaimed. "Good bye, kids." And with that he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"UNLESS WHAT?!" Sasuke asked again.

"Unless someone told him to."

Uchiha's eyes widened. "Fucking shit! Let's hurry!"

Back with Naruto…

"See, I told you jabroni." Naruto said already back in his human form. "Everything was useless."

Orochimaru coughed some blood still standing on his knees. "We won't give up, Uzumaki!"

Naruto faked a pout. "Why?"

"Cough… you will destroy this world." The snake sannin stated, trying to cover large hole in his chest.

"Uh-huh, yep." The blond demon said, taking a few gulps from his cola can.

"Does your hatred have no limits?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow and threw an empty can over his shoulder.

"Hatred?" Then he started to laugh. "You actually think I'm doing it because of hatred?"

"Cough… I…"

"It doesn't matter what you think!" Naruto interrupted whatever the sannin wanted to say. "I'm not doing this because of hatred at all!"

"Then why?"

The demon shrugged. "What stupid question. Because I can of course!"

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed. "You…"

Suddenly.

"Hya!" Two arms wrapped themselves around Naruto's neck. "I missed ya!" The Mizukage stated.

Naruto sighed. "We parted just about half of an hour ago…"

"Still too long!" Mei replied. "But you're in a good mood it seems…"

"Yep!" The blond said, showing her his left arm.

"Whoo Hoo! Finally!"

Naruto's eyes widened at that and he immediately turned around, grabbing her ass with both hands.

"I told you not to steal Naruto's catchphrases!" He shouted.

"What if I won't stop?" She asked, licking her lips.

"Then I'll fuck you!"

Instantly a huge grin appeared on Mizukage's face and she quickly pressed her index finger in his chest.

"It doesn't matter what you'll do!"

Naruto grabbed her ass harder. "That's it; you are so fucked… tonight."

"Fuck tonight!" She responded and started to take his vest off. "I want right now!"

There was so much confidence in her voice that Naruto even started to oblige…

That until…

"Orochimaru!"

Naruto turned his head to see the blond Hokage, kneeling in front of her ex-teammate.

Suddenly he flinched. "Damn, that's a mood killer…"

Mei looked at him in confusion. "What?"

Naruto flinched again. "No genjutsu…"

"Oh…"

"Yeah, oh…"

"Tsunade-sama, is he alright?" Temari asked, appearing on the scene.

But to her surprise the answer came from the place she last expected…

"Imbecille, he has a fucking hole in his chest!" Naruto shouted. "Take a guess if he's alright."

"Naruto-sama yo!" Kirabi exclaimed, landing beside his allies.

The demon growled. "Stop fucking saying 'yo' after my name!"

"Sorry…"

"Now only one's missing." Mei said.

"Where in the blue hell is he?" Naruto asked.

Meanwhile…

"Don't worry, Orochimaru." Tsunade said. "I'll heal this in no time!" She reassured.

"No!" He shouted. "No time! You must stop Uzumaki!"

Tsunade leaned backwards in shock. "What happened?"

"He… He's got my ring…"

The Hokage covered her mouth in horror. "Oh no…"

"Hokage-sama!" Sasuke and Gaara landed nearby.

"Sasuke, Gaara, we have a critical situation!" Tsunade stated.

"He's got the ring." Sasuke said with narrowed eyes.

Naruto clapped. "Very good, Uke-chan!"

"Still, why did you call us in the middle of the fight?" The Mizukage asked somewhat frustrated. "I was about to take out those bitches!"

"Yeah, me too yo!" Kirabi added.

Naruto glanced at Kirabi with a raised eyebrow. "You were about to take out those bitches too?"

"N-No! I was about to take those motherfuckers out…"

The demon sighed. "Well, how the fuck should I know? You were supposed to be done with it already."

"I was just about to, yo!"

"Yeah, me too yo!"

Pause.

"I mean me too…" Mizukage corrected herself.

Suddenly…

"Sorry, I'm late." The Raikage said, landing nearby.

"I guess you weren't…" Naruto exclaimed. 'At least he didn't say yo…'

"Amen for that!"

"I wasn't what?" The Raikage asked.

"Almost done…"

"W-Well I…" Then someone interrupted him.

"Wait a moment, you're fucking wounded!" Mei yelled.

"Haha!" Naruto laughed. "And I know that wound. Raikiri! You got hit by a fucking lightning jutsu!"

"Really?" Kirabi asked. "Shame on you, brother yo!"

"Yeah, yeah… fuck you too, yo."

Naruto slapped his forehead. "Not you too…"

"Kakashi!" Sasuke shouted.

"Sorry, I got lost on the road of life…" The jounin stated, landing nearby.

"My, my… what a team!" Naruto said. "I'm proud to call you my enemies!"

Konoha and Suna shinobi's eyes widened.

"You actually meant it?" Mei asked.

Naruto glanced at her with a shocked expression. "What, are you insane? Of course I didn't!"

"Haha!" She slapped him on the shoulder playfully. "You asshole!"

"Alright, enough." The blond demon said with a serious expression. "We're leaving."

"Hai!" Ay, Killer Bee and Mei responded.

"Are you running away from me again, Naruto?"

The demon stopped dead in his tracks immediately. Quickly he turned around and stared right into jet black eyes of Uchiha Sasuke.

They glared at each other for a minute in silence, then Naruto finally exclaimed.

"Leave." He said to his allies.

"What, but…" Mie started, but was roughly interrupted.

"What in the word leave you doesn't understand?" He said with anger in his voice.

"S-Sorry, Naruto-sama…" The Mizukage replied. She rarely saw Naruto in such anger. "Let's leave guys."

"But…"

"No buts!" She yelled. "That was a direct order!"

Dark skinned brothers glanced at each other, then nodded and disappeared along with Mizukage.

"You leave as well…" Sasuke said as if he already knew what Naruto had in mind.

"What?" Gaara asked.

"Oh no you don't, Uchiha!" The Hokage shouted in anger. "Who do you think you are?"

Sasuke turned to her with a totally serious look. "This is not the time for argument. Right now it's between me and Naruto."

"Why you…"

"No, let's do what he says." Gaara interrupted.

"What are you saying?" Kakashi asked. "He will surely kill him?"

"And what will you do by staying here?!" Sasuke snapped. "Stop him?! I don't think so."

"He's right." Orochimaru replied. "I think we are the only ones who will be killed if we stay…"

"I still don't like this…" Tsunade responded.

"Neither do I." Kakashi added.

"We all are tired from our battles. There is nothing we can do." The Kazekage stated.

"Damn."

"Leave." Sasuke asked again. "Please…"

"Very well…" Tsunade said and all of them disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving two ex members of team seven alone.

"So, what will it be, Naruto?" Last Uchiha asked.

The demon simply summoned Yamato to in his left hand. Then took the hilt with his right, unsheathed the demon blade in one quick motion and threw the scabbard away.

"I should've known…" Sasuke replied and withdrew Rebellion from his back.

"You're quite right, Uchiha." Naruto said. "I probably was trying to run away… but not anymore." He said, making Sasuke's eyes narrow. "This is not a commix book. I'm not going to sit and wait until you grow up and become stronger. Enemies should be eliminated."

Sasuke silently shifted into a battle stance.

"You claimed that you're going to stop me… Show me how!"

"Don't, Sasuke!" Rebellion warned. "If you fight him now, you will lose your dream, your purpose and your life! You are not ready yet!"

'Yes… and I never will be…'

"…W-What?"

'It just dawned on me…' Uchiha thought with a sad smile on his face. 'I will never surpass him… But if there's something I can do, I will…'

As if knowing what Sasuke just thought, a smile appeared on Naruto's face as well.

"Let's do this… Sasuke." He said.

"Let's… Naruto." Instantly in a burst of speed the last Uchiha was in front of his opponent, holding Rebellion in both hands, and did a downwards vertical slash.

Naruto effortlessly blocked it by raising his sword arm.

Clang.

"Not enough, Uchiha."

"We'll see about that, Uzumaki!"

Sasuke crouched and tried to cut down Naruto's legs. Foreseeing this, the demon did a quick somersault backwards… only for Sasuke to thrust his sword in his chest still in midair.

"Hmhmhm…" Naruto chuckled when they landed. "Impressive speed."

"You've seen nothing yet!"

Naruto shook his head and tried to grab his opponent's blade. Sasuke's eyes widened at this and he quickly withdrew Rebellion from Naruto's chest.

"Yeah, maybe I didn't." Naruto said and delivered a mighty kick to Sasuke's ribs, sending him flying into a nearby tree. "Then again, maybe I did."

"Guh!" Uchiha coughed some blood. 'Crap, I probably broke a rib…'

"You don't have time to lie down!" The demon yelled. "Streak!" With that he slid quickly towards his enemy and did a quick horizontal slash, cutting a large tree down… and missing Sasuke by a hair's length.

"Fuck…" Uchiha cursed and started to release his level two cursed seal.

Naruto looked at him impassively. "You really think that will help you?"

Sasuke only growled and attacked again. Naruto didn't block this time, he quickly dodged by side stepping… then again, and again, and again…

"Stay still dammit!" Sasuke screamed in anger.

Suddenly Naruto summoned his scabbard and sheathed his sword… then dismissed it.

"What? Are you giving up?" Uchiha asked in confusion.

The blond demon shook his head. "Nu-uh, I just realized that I don't even need a sword to defeat someone like you…"

Sasuke gritted his teeth. "Don't underestimate me!" He attacked again… Only for Naruto to catch Rebellion's blade with his bare hand.

"I expected more." With that Naruto punched Sasuke in the solar plexus with his other hand, then kneed him in the face and delivered a hard spinning kick to Uchiha's chest… making him to release his hold on his weapon.

"Ah… fuck!" Sasuke grunted, lying on the ground… then he suddenly felt something sharp against his throat. The raven haired teen opened his eyes to see that it was actually Naruto pinning him to the ground with Rebellion.

"Did you really think you can stop me like that?"

To his surprise Sasuke smiled.

"What's so funny?"

"It… cough… It doesn't matter what I think, right?"

Naruto chuckled. "Hmhmhm… Indeed. I still want to hear your answer though."

"Why?"

"Hm… Call this curiosity."

Sasuke smirked. "Very well… No, I didn't think I could stop you."

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Why then?"

"You want to destroy everything and…" Words died in his throat, when Naruto started to laugh.

"Hahaha! Oh really?! And what makes you so sure that I want that, huh?"

Sasuke's eyes widened. "But…"

"There's nothing for me to gain in an empty world, ne? Why would I do something like that?"

"But Konoha!"

"Ha!" Naruto snorted. "And you equal Konoha to the world?! Tsk, tsk, tsk… such arrogance."

Sasuke gritted his teeth. "Enough! Finish it!"

"Hn." Naruto smirked. "Okay." He said and raised Rebellion over his head for a final blow.

Suddenly…

BANG!

Sasuke's eyes widened as his face was now covered in Naruto's blood.

"What the…?" Uchiha asked in confusion.

"Damn that hurt!" Naruto commented, examining a hole in his chest… only to receive a hard kick to the face, which sent him flying backwards.

"Looks like I'm just on time." Said one blonde girl, dressed in black.

"Who are you?" Sasuke asked again.

"I'm Trish, and I have a bone to pick up with that guy right there." She stated.

"I don't care who you are, you stupid bitch!" Naruto shouted, getting to his feet. "You're going to pay for that!"

Trish smirked. "That painful, huh?" She said, putting a smoking gun on her shoulder.

"Of course it's painful!" Ex-jinchuriki screamed and took off his leather vest, showing a hole in the middle. "Do you have any idea how much this vest costs?!"

Girl's smirk widened. "I guessed as much." She said and turned her head to still lying Sasuke. "You'd better get out of here, boy."

"No!" Uchiha responded. "He's too strong, you'll need my help!"

As a response for that, she disappeared in a burst of speed, kicked Naruto in the chest and picked up Rebellion, which he dropped along the way.

"The last thing I need is your help." She said and threw Rebellion at him. "This is not a human's job…"

Sasuke's eyes widened at that. "Y-You mean…"

"I'm a demon." Trish stated.
