Chapter - 25

Mikoto, every since she became a house wife she started to slack a little on her Kunoichi skills. Luckily for her she was able to train her Sharingan making her worthy of the clan head title.

Being that she was the head of the Uchiha clan now she had to show up. Although she didn't mind knowing that her Naruto was about to fight today.

Well trying to make him hers. But she always was curious about how his skills have grown.

And now she will get to find out. Sarutobi finishing his speech has Naruto enter.

Walking in, Mikoto seeing him couldn't help but marvel at how handsome he is. It was then she heard a women yell

"Hey Naruto-kun!"

Instantly flashing her Sharingan at the women who said his name like that. "Who the hell is she and how the hell does she know Naruto-kun?"

"Good afternoon ladies and gentleman. I'm glad you all can come here today.

Today I have a very special treat for you. It will be a sparing match against me and our top swordsman one of my ANBU.

Her name is Neko. Many of you think this man would be crazy to challenge an ANBU and the hokage of all things but I believe you will be very surprised at what he is able to do.

Lets start this. Let him in" Sarutobi announced.

Naruto opened the door and began to walk towards the field. Hands in his pocket, hair flowing in the wind.

Taking small steps to analyze who are in the stadium. He saw that many of the kunoichi were blushing and drooling over him.

Go figure. Upon analyzing the crowd he hears a girl shout

"Hey Naruto-kun!" Turning his gaze to who shouted he spotted Kurenai. Smiling Naruto responds "Hello Kurenai-chan nice to see you again"

In The Stands

Kurenai can only stare at his beautiful face until she heard Anko yell

"Your that gaki in the forest I saw a couple years ago!"Snapping her out of her thoughts she says

"You know him Anko-chan?" Kurenai says. Anko looks at her and responds.

"I don't know him but I saw him train at the forest of death with another man. His skills at the time looked at least mid jounin level.

" Anko grinning continues

"Enough about me Kure-chan, how do you know this blond hunk?" Kurenai blushes a little.

"Well I was attacked by three kumo ninja's, they were going to do something I would not like to speak of but he came out of nowhere and killed them. He saved me and then carried me to the hospital" Kurenai said although thinking about his smile, his scent and kiss to her forehead.

"Well this is going to be good then. He must have improved dramatically.

He must also be fighting Yugao-chan then since she is the only one who knows how to wield a sword properly. " Anko said.

Back To Naruto

He continues walking and spots Mikoto on the other side she smiles at him. Naruto seeing this smiles at her brightly making Mikoto and some of the girls melt at his smile.

Finally reaching the middle he see's a woman in a cat mask with her ANBU attire. They both hear Sarutobi speak

"For the first match, it will be a spar in only swords. Here today to test this man is Neko.

At my signal you can begin"

As soon Neko looked up she was instantly surprise of this blonde man she had met 4 years ago. Sarutobi looks at both of them and says "Hajime!"

Neko jumps back and draws his sword. While Naruto sat there lazily with his hand loosely at the hilt.

For a couple minutes no one moved.

Neko sat there examining him "So this is the Naruto that fought Itachi-sempai. I can't tell much from his stance.

Although he fought and beat Itachi-sempai so I better not underestimate him. He looks very relaxed in his lazy stance.

So it seems he will be ready for any attack. Well here we go.

"

Neko tired of waiting lunges to deliver a few test slashes on him to test his reflex. Surprisingly it was on point.

She decided to step her speed to maximum trying to deliver a few slashes. To her surprise he was dodging her strikes with ease at her full speed.

After Neko not being able to reach her jumps back to seperate. Naruto then speaks to her.

"Very good Neko-san. Your swordsmanship skills are above average at best.

But it seems you cannot hit me. If your trying to hit me stop putting distance between us.

" Neko immediately shoots off to slash at him again. As expected by Naruto he is dodging flawlessly again.

Putting her fingers in cross she makes three clones. All three of leap to him forming him in triangle before lunging forward to slice him saying "Mikazuki no Mai (Dance of The Crescent Moon)"

Soon three Neko's went to slice him. It seemed that all three of there blades hit him.

Only for her to find out the image of Naruto began to vanish. Hearing a voice behind her.

"Well Neko-san it seems you have missed yet again. You have to try much harder than that to stab someone like me" Neko sits there in shock of what just happened.

"What the hell! That attack was spot on. They point of this move was to capitalize on the blind spot.

This move is usually flush!" Naruto seeing her in thought talks

"Yes you believe by cornering me there would be no way for me to block an attack since you attacked from all of my blind spots. Very clever move Neko-san.

But what you didn't account for is one thing. " Naruto continues.

"My speed cannot be equaled. That move I just used is called Utsusemi.

It is a technique where I move so fast I leave an afterimage" Naruto said. Neko was shocked at his confession.

In The Stands

Many people in the stands were stunned by what this man is doing and how he is holding up with the purple haired ANBU. Neko is known though ANBU as a master at a sword.
