Chapter 10: Chapter 10
Inuzuka compound
"So what did you call me here for" said Mikoto Uchiha, Head of the Uchiha Clan, and one of the few close friends of Kushina. Looking as her daughter lounged under one of the large trees that dotted their compound, stroking the fur of one of the three ninkens that always accompanied her. Tsume could see the telltale signs. Hana Inuzuka had a crush on a boy. This was the first time she could recall her daughter being enamored with a boy. And Tsume had it on good authority who that particular boy was. It wasn't hard to figure out she spent all week last week, her oldest pup would tell anyone who had the misfortune of being trapped by her about the blonde boy who had saved her ninken, much to the amusement of the Clan Head.
"My daughter is in love, So I've decided to engage her to Naruto," She said surprising Mikoto. "While I understand you might want the council to stop them," Mikoto said, staring at her teacup momentarily. " But we both know that Naruto-kun is dating someone else," The Uchiha said, a little sad at the last part. Which made Tsume smile slightly. "Yes, I know, but we both know that his case is different from everyone," This made the Uchiha look at her and remember the boy's parents. "You mean the CRA," Mikoto whispered only receiving a nod from the Inuzuka.
"Yes, and being the last male of the Uzumaki and Namikaze clans, he must take more than one wife to restore them," said the woman with tattoos on her cheeks. "So, what do you want me to do?" asked the Uchiha to her friend, who took a sip from her cup of tea. "When his inheritance and the responsibilities that come with it come about, I want you to vote in favor of him joining the CRA" Tsume explained. "How do you know the rest will agree with this?" Asked the raven-haired woman knowing that this was a very complicated subject and required the shinobi council to agree.
"I don't think there will be much opposition from the clans the Yamanaka have a close bond with him and Inoichi is in charge of his mental health, the Nara and Akamichi heirs are good friends, I heard the Aburame share some of his traits and he gets along with Shibis son and even training. The Hyuga elders might pose a threat but Hiashi cares for his daughters even though he doesn't show it," said Tsume shocking Mikoto a little.
After overcoming her surprise, the Uchiha began to ponder the pros and cons of her friend's proposal, which didn't take her long. "Okay Tsume I hope this works." said the ravened-hair beauty. As Mikoto got up to leave "I hope Naruto-kun can handle it," Mikoto said concern in her worry about him, I'm sure he can handle it, besides…" Tsume dragged out her words as she approached Mikoto's ear, who jumped slightly.
"I can tell you're pretty excited about that, aren't you Mikoto-chan," the Inuzuka said as she watched with some amusement at the usual Uchiha was now bright red. "I'm sure he will be able to reciprocate your feelings," said Tsume amused "And who knows, maybe he'll do something more to reinforce that fact." She said as the Uchiha left for her compound in a hurry. "Reciprocate my…" Mikoto paused as she imagined herself and Naruto in various romantic situations that escalated in passion, eventually reaching more perverted situations, making her face turn every shade of red known. ' Maybe it's not a bad idea,' she thought as she returned to the Uchiha compound.
With team seven
Meanwhile, Naruto was having a sneeze attack prompting everyone to look at him Kakashi giggled perversely as the others questioningly. "Sorry." The Uzumaki apologized to his team, causing everyone to walk again ' It's weird, I feel like someone was talking about me ' the Blonde thought as he rubbed his nose. 'Just one, I'm pretty sure more than one person is thinking about you, or don't you remember.' smirked Kurama.
After the attack of the Demon Brothers, the group became more aware of their surroundings. Not wanting to get caught off guard again, and now that they knew the truth of what was happening in Nami no Kuni, they were better prepared. Without warning, Sasuke leaped forward and threw a kunai into some random bushes, causing everyone to look at the raven-haired boy. Naruto entered the bushes with a bored sigh to see what had gotten the emo's attention. Seconds later, returning with a bloodied kunai and a white rabbit.
'That rabbit's fur doesn't match the time of year,' thought both student and teacher at the same time both teacher and student opened their eyes when they heard a whistling sound in the air. "Get on the ground!!" Kakashi shouted as he watched Sasuke and Naruto obey the jonin's orders to grab Sakura and Tazuna and make them crouch down. Kakashi managed to move them enough to prevent a huge sword from ripping off the heads of both his client and his student, said sword flew until it embedded itself in a tree to one side of the group.
So that a man stood on the fixed part of the embedded sword, everyone saw how the subject who attacked them was tall and very muscular, his skin was tanned, and his hair was short, spiky, and black. He had bandages covering his face and was only wearing baggy pants with a striped pattern, and he was wearing leg warmers that went from his wrists to his elbows. "Just look what I found, if it's none other than the famous Kakashi no Sharingan, the copy ninja, I'm not surprised that the demon brothers failed," said the man looking at the entire group while still standing on his sword.
"Well, well, it's none other than Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Mist, missing-nin of Kiri and a member of the 7 Swordsmen of the Mist, wielder of the Kubikiribōchō (Decapitating Knife)" Kakashi said, recognizing the man from the bingo book. "So you're also behind this builder or am I wrong" said Kakashi, who was attentive to any movement of the renegade ninja. "That's none of your business Kakashi, but to be honest I didn't expect to see you in that situation," said the man now identified as Zabuza as he leaned on the tree trunk and then pulled his sword out of it and stood in front of the group.
"I'm surprised that you Kakashi, a renowned shinobi from your village, would end up being the babysitter of a couple of brats who play at being ninjas," Zabuza said looking at the group of genin and resting his sword on his shoulder. "Life is full of surprises," Kakashi said as he pulled out a kunai in each hand and got into a fighting stance."Very well, I will give you and your brats a chance to get out of this alive" Zabuza said as he pointed fixedly at Tazuna "Leave the builder alone and you can go" said the Kiri swordsman, but seeing how none of the group moved, the swordsman simply growled in annoyance.
"Well, in that case, I'll kill you all," said Zabuza, and then he made a sign with his hands "Hidden mist Jutsu" Soon a thick fog began to cover the entire place. "Team, diamond formation," said Kakashi, and then the whole group surrounded Tazuna, where he was in front and his team each took out a kunai in their hands while looking from one side to the other in search of any sign of their opponent. "8 deadly points on the body" the entire group heard Zabuza's voice echoing everywhere "Each one can give you a quick and painless death or a slow and agonizing one," said the former shinobi of the mist.
These words made Tazuna tremble, who at this moment looked pale, while Sakura was nervous, shown by the sweat running down his forehead and his strong grip on his weapon. Sasuke was looking around trying to find his enemy, for his part, the blonde closed his eyes to concentrate, and using his sensory abilities he could notice how the mist was infused with chakra so that he could soon feel Zabuza move in different positions.
' Damn it, I'm going to have to use it ' Kakashi thought as he lifted his ninja headband, revealing his left eye, which showed a Sharingan eye with three blades, which surprised the genins. For his part, Sasuke was in shock at seeing his clan's Doujutsu on another person.
' How is this possible, is Kakashi-sensei from the Uchiha clan, that's impossible, they were all murdered by that bastard Itachi,' thought the Uchiha, but before he could say anything Kakashi spoke. "Listen, stay alert at all times, and protect the builder," said the silver-haired Jonin ordered with his back to his team. "Zabuza is a ninja specialized in silent assassination, so don't let your guard down at any time," declared the Hatake.
"Wow you're going to use that eye of yours, the one that allowed you to copy over a thousand jutsus heh, I'm flattered," Zabuza said from the mist "But that's not going to save you" when Zabuza said those words. The whole atmosphere became heavy, which was felt by the Konoha team and Tazuna, and the latter began to have trouble breathing, while Sakura and Sasuke were not better off the pink-haired girl began to tremble and felt her whole body paralyzed the only thing that comforted her that she would get out of this all right was Naruto, surprisingly.
For his part, Sasuke tried to force his body to move, but it didn't respond. He felt a cold that he hadn't felt since that day, since the Uchiha massacre. When the Uchiha felt that sensation again, it terrified him again, so when he looked at his kunai he thought about stabbing it in his stomach to get rid of this feeling.
"Breathe," Naruto said, pulling out the three people intimidated by the former Kiri-Nin's killing intent. "Take a few breaths to calm down," the Uzumaki said, as he didn't feel affected since he had been exposed to Kurama the first time they met and his sensei when training. Seeing how his two students and his client followed Uzumaki's advice, Kakashi's eyes gleamed with pride for Naruto calming himself as well he ducked to dodge a slash that was going to his head. He then blocked a slash with his kunai that Zabuza threw at him to try to split him in half, seeing that the swordsman moved his sword to the side and then kicked Kakashi, who raised one of his arms to block the blow. The two soon got into a fight, with the mist domain attempting to stab Kakashi with its sword, while Kakashi using his kunai began to deflect the blows just enough to avoid being cut.
Sparks flew around the place and reflected in the fog, allowing everyone present to see where the fight was taking place. "Impressive, you certainly live up to your title," said the swordsman as he leaped away, where in the air he began to trace some hand seals "But I have a job to do Water Style: Water Bullet," said Zabuza finishing a couple of hand seals, so that his face bandages came loose slightly so that from his mouth a water bullet shot out towards Kakashi. Seeing the attack, he moves to the left, managing to avoid the water Jutsu, only to have to block with his kunai another vertical cut from Zabuza's sword that was going towards his shoulder, causing the ground beneath his feet to creak slightly.
Leaving the Konoha jonin in a fight of strength with the renegade Kiri, where the white-haired man saw how his kunai was cracking because he had to slide over Zabuza's sword, to stab him in the throat.
But the silver-haired man opened his eyes as he saw Zabuza's body dissolve into water, causing Kakashi to change his grip on his kunai and move it to the side where he barely managed to stop another attack from Zabuza. "A water clone," Kakashi said as he grappled with the swordsman again. "You like them," Zabuza said in a mocking voice as he applied more strength to his grip. ' He must have formed it when he was inside the mist which means that… ' Kakashi's eyes widened as he looked out of the corner of his eye and saw three water clones heading towards where the genins were.
"Now die," Zabuza said bringing Kakashi out of his thoughts, then kicked him, sending the white-haired jonin back a few meters. The bandaged man soon chased after his prey and saw how he had fallen to the ground. So before he could recover, the former Kiri-Nin sent a slash to his stomach that split the white-haired man in half, causing Zabuza to smile as the fog cleared, only to grow frustrated when he saw the two halves of the Hatake dissolve into water. At that, Zabuza feels the cold metal of a kunai on his neck as he looks to the side and sees Kakashi to his left. "Did you think it would be that easy?" Kakashi said, holding the kunai to the missing-nin's jugular.
"You seem very calm even though you know that your team must be nothing more than a pile of blood by now," Zabuza commented funnily. They'll be fine, after all. I've been training them, besides..." the silver-haired man commented. This made Zabuza raise an eyebrow at the leaf jonin's statement. "I know how capable one of them is of taking care of himself and the rest of his teammates," said Kakashi.
When the group saw Zabuza's clones heading towards them, Naruto was about to say something until he noticed Sasuke launch himself against one of the clones and start a fight in which it was clear that the Uchiha was at a disadvantage. The Uzumaki didn't have time to sigh as he watched two more clones head towards them, looking at Sakura, who was a little calmer but still seemed to be scared. "Sakura," whispered the blonde making his teammate look at him "The moment I tell you, you will throw a shuriken at each of the clones when you do that support Sasuke from a distance, got it" said Naruto with a smile that conveyed confidence.
"Understood," said the pink-haired girl waiting for the Uzumaki's signal, feeling a wave of reassurance flow through her. When he noticed how the clones were getting closer and closer and were about 5 meters away from them, Hanyou put his hands together. "Now," Naruto yelled, causing Sakura to throw four shurikens while he began to perform a couple of hand seals. " Shurikens Shadow Clone Jutsu," said the Blonde, so the four shurikens that Sakura had thrown became 40.
Which headed against the clones, hitting and destroying them taking advantage of this situation and the mist, Naruto moved away from the group enough to be covered by the fog. Then sinking into his shadow where he re-emerged behind Sasuke, the Hanyou pushed the Uchiha to the side to prevent the raven from receiving a fatal blow from Zabuza's clone. The Uzumaki had to dodge the renegade's sword and get to where Sasuke was, who didn't look very happy about being thrown, but the blonde ignored him and then grabbed his shirt to back away, where they both saw a pair of shurikens hit the water clone, which melted into water.
"What do you think you're doing getting in my way, loser!" the dark-haired boy shouted as he backed away from the silver-haired. "Keeping your whole body together and avoid having to carry you to Konoha in a bag" the blonde replied "Listen Sasuke, I have a plan, but I need you to follow it" the Hanyou tried to reason. "What do you think you're doing getting in my way, loser!" the dark-haired boy shouted as he backed away from the silver-haired.
"Keep your whole body together, and I won't have to carry you to Konoha in a bag," the Blonde replied. "Listen, Sasuke, I have a plan, but I need you to follow it," the Hanyou tried to reason.
"Yeah right, as if I am going to listen to a loser without a clan," Sasuke said with mockery on his face "I don't need your plan, much less to follow the orders of a peasant like you," the Uchiha said with arrogance in his voice as he watched two more clones of the mist swordsman appear.
To which Mikoto's son jumped to confront them, causing the Uzumaki to sigh.
' I could let them kill him and save myself a headache ' the Blondemused while considering that idea ' But doing that would bring me a lot of trouble from the bastards of the civil council and the council of elders, but at least I could let them beat him up a little ' at that Naruto sighs ' Well it's worth dreaming ' the jinchuriki thought a little resigned.
To see how Sasuke faces the new water clones, where one of them connected a kick to the Uchiha that sent him a few meters against a tree.
"You'll see that this is nothing to me because now I'm going to fight for real," Sasuke declared as he stood up and once again headed toward his opponents. "He's an Idiot holding back in a real fight while getting your ass kicked," said Kurama rolling his eyes while feeling amused at the Uchiha, Naruto didn't say anything just shrugged. While Naruto headed to deal with the other clone he swung his sword trying to cut him, to which the Hanyou dodged the cut, as he made a spear.
Where he began to move it against the clone, who began to throw cuts and kicks against the silver-haired, who using his spear blocked the cuts and kicks that the water clone was sending him.
Where in one of those the Uzumaki managed to deflect the clone's cut to one side, and then with the opposite side of his spear hit him in the head with such force that it destroyed Zabuza's replica. ' Okay, now for the last clone and then the original' the Hanyou thought as he moved towards where Sasuke was fighting the last water clone, who deflected a blow from Sasuke's kunai so that he was then kicked again in the stomach causing the Uchiha to release all the air from his lungs and become almost unconscious. Seeing that, Naruto quickly had to move towards the clone's blind spot, which was about to deliver the final blow to the raven, so the jinchuriki held his spear and then threw it with great force.
Where he managed to pierce the clone's head, destroying it, all of this was seen by a barely conscious Sasuke, causing the Uchiha to grit his teeth in anger. Naruto, seeing Sasuke's condition, quickly grabbed him, ignoring the insults the Uchiha was throwing at him, carrying him on his back and taking him to where Sakura and Tazuna were. "Sakura, check if Sasuke has any serious injuries," Naruto said to his teammate who nodded and asked the construct to hold her backpack while she checked on the Uchiha. While doing this, Haruno saw how Naruto was moving away towards where her sensei was fighting Zabuza.
"Naruto, what do you think you're doing?" Sakura asked with concern at what her partner was about to do. "I'm just going to see how Kakashi-nee is doing, we would be in trouble if he got trapped we aren't close to Zabuza's level and experience we wouldn't stand a chance," Naruto said That made Sakura's eyes widen in realization if they escaped would they even be able to outrun a jonin like Zabuza, but before anyone could say anything, the Blonde headed towards the place where Kakashi and Zabuza were still fighting. But then he saw how his sensei, who seemed tired and in a moment of carelessness on his part, was trapped in a water prison, which made the jinchuriki speed up his pace.
For his part, Sasuke, who had managed to recover a little, looked where the Blondewas going and tried to do the same, but Sakura stopped him. "Let me go, you useless bitch " the Uchiha grunts out to his teammate."I'm just trying to help you, Sasuke-kun." Sakura insisted, trying to get the boy to his feet, only to be pushed away once more, this time more roughly. Causing the poor girl to stumble back slightly.
"I don't need the help of a weak and pathetic fan girl." He seethed, causing the poor pinkette to fight back the tears that were threatening to break free. Naruto only sighed and shook his head having heard the uchiha's words but his focus was on his sensei.
With Kakashi moments before
While that was happening, Kakashi began to trace the same signs as Zabuza, which caused the swordsman to growl. " Water-Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu," both ninjas said at the same time while creating two waves that canceled each other out when they collided. Then, both launched themselves against each other in a Taijutsu battle with a kunai on Kakashi's side and Kenjutsu on Zabuza's side.
"Water-style water fang bomb," Zabuza said attacking Kakashi, only to see how the silver-haired man again performed the same Jutsu as him and obtained the same result, both attacks canceling each other. The silver-haired man quickly threw some kunai towards the swordsman, who began making hand seals again.
" Water-style water wall " Zabuza replied as a wall of water formed around him and protected him from his opponent's attack. When the wall fell, the former Kiri-Nin saw how Kakashi was throwing several shurikens at him again, using his sword he managed to block the silver-haired man's attack, then jumped back, managing to get away from Hatake to get some air. "So this is the power…" Zabuza said only to be interrupted by Kakashi.
"From the Sharingan," said Kakashi finishing what his opponent was going to say, where the latter was surprised and started to delay hand seals again, but again he saw how Kakashi was doing the same seals as him."Water-style water dragon bullet," both Kakashi and Zabuza said where each formed a dragon, which collided with the other causing a brief rain. "How is this possible?" Zabuza asked, very bewildered. "Can you even see the future?" the renegade asked. "All I see is your death," Kakashi said before launching himself towards Zabuza again.
Who again launched slashes with his sword only to see how Kakashi blocked each one of them while he began to counterattack, forcing him to hide again in the fog. Kakashi began to scan the entire fog with his eyes, where thanks to his Sharingan he could see that there was quite a bit of chakra in it, but when he noticed a denser accumulation of chakra in one area, he knew where his enemy was. So using another pair of kunais, Kakashi manages to move to the side of his enemy, who in an attempt to block his attack moves the handle of his swords to try to hit him in the face.
But Kakashi manages to move enough to avoid the blow and then kick his enemy's foot causing him to fall to the ground, so that the silver-haired man takes out another kunai and stabs it into his enemy's heart. Gasping for air, Kakashi manages to stand up and stares at his opponent for a few moments, but his eyes widen again as he sees Zabuza's body once again dissolving into water. "Water-style water prison jutsu ", hearing Zabuza's voice behind him, Kakashi only managed to turn around to see how he was trapped by a water bubble.
' Damn, I let my guard down,' the silver-haired man thought as he felt himself starting to run out of air. ' He must have formed the clone and replaced himself with it when he was inside the mist, hiding his presence while fighting the clone so he could catch me off guard,' Kakashi thought, mentally scolding himself.
"It wasn't bad at all Kakashi, but you of all people should know how deadly it is to take things for granted" Zabuza replied. ' Damn it ' Kakashi thought as he felt the water in his prison begin to enter his nose ' I have to stop the water from entering my lungs and find a way out of this trap ' Hatake thought as he began to send chakra to his lungs to prevent him from drowning and eliminate the water that entered his body. Soon the fog had cleared a bit more, allowing the swordsman and the Konoha jonin to see the condition of Sasuke and Sakura tending to him, which reassured Kakashi to see how his students were okay.
But seeing how Naruto was approaching where he was worried him. "Wow, looks like you at least have a promising student, or is the kid just lucky Kakashi" Zabuza said. "No Naruto, take the builder and run, Zabuza couldn't follow them since he had to maintain the prison," said Kakashi from the water prison using more of his chakra to transmit those words to his student. "Like I'll let you here Aniki, aren't you who drilled Teamwork into us" Naruto said as he smiled making Kakashi feel proud of him but hide it.
"Wow, boy are you brave or suicidal" said Zabuza, only for the next second to dodge a pair of kunai that were headed towards his head, but after doing so the swordsman felt a powerful blow to his stomach that sent him back a few meters and causing Kakashi to be released, who took a deep breath of air. "Good job Naruto, now I can," said Kakashi and then coughed up some water. "Aniki your eye still drains your chakra too fast, not to mention the extra effort of sending chakra to your lungs so they don't get crushed already causes a huge loss of chakra," said Naruto activating his bloodline that slightly showed as tattoos his eyes changing as he hid his Sharingan eye not wanting to get the emo and the council something to whine about. "Mind if I take over for a bit while you recover," said Naruto sighing "Fine I'll interferer
"Wow, you're skilled, kid. Maybe you can give me some fun," Zabuza said as he recovered from the blow. To which the Blonde looks at the swordsman. "I heard you're a great swordsman, if you don't mind I'd like to test my skills with you," said the Blonde and then created a sword of darkness which slightly surprised Zabuza when he saw the weapon.
"Wow, I didn't expect to meet a Kenjutsu practitioner, at least not one so young," said the mist renegade as he got into his combat stance. "Well, let's see how good you think you are, kid," said Zabuza. "Well this will be interesting Yugao's moon dance vs The Hidden Mist Kenutsu style," thought Kakashi his eye flickering to Sasuke. " It would be better to hold back for now, I don't want the Uchiha to see too much of this style," Naruto thought, feeling the Uchiha's gaze on his back. "Besides, just by seeing him use it, he's going to demand that I teach it to her what a pain in the ass," the jinchuriki growled internally. "The Uchiha have always been crazy i wouldn't be surprised if he demanded it for now he hasn't awakened his shiringan yet he's going to be even more of a pain when he does," said Kurama.
Naruto was the first to move, kicking the ground and launching himself at a great speed that surprised Zabuza, who managed to cover himself from the Uzumaki's cut thanks to his reflexes formed after years of experience, blocking the blow the swordsman tried to carry out a counterattack by using force, to drag the Blonde back. But the swordsman was surprised to see how he was not only able to move the Blonde, but he was also holding him in place. At that Naruto deflects Zabuza's sword to the side and ducks under a kick that Zabuza sent him, where he begins to launch several quick slashes towards the Hanyou. So that he could begin to deflect the blows and cuts that the former Kiri-Nin, the Uzumaki while doing saw an opening between Zabuza's blows, so he quickly managed to connect a kick to his opponent's face, which left Zabuza stunned for a few seconds.
But that was all Uzumaki needed as he moved away from his opponent a little and then placed himself in a stance that Kakashi managed to recognize so he could see how the reflection of a person appeared on his student. At that, Zabuza opens his eyes upon recognizing those words, then sees how behind the boy appeared the image of a moon, mostly dark except for the outline of one side, which was illuminated.
The former Kiri shinobi watched as Naruto seemed to move his arms in slow motion, then suddenly disappeared. After a few seconds, Naruto appeared behind Zabuza while holding his sword vertically while one right hand held its handle and the other the sheath. A second later, Kiri's renegade felt several wounds open on his body, causing him to fall to his knees while using his sword as support to keep from falling to the ground, although it was of little use as he fell to the ground when he tried to get up. "That *cough* that was a great kid *cough*," Zabuza said spitting out some blood."I wish I could keep fighting you, Zabuza-san," Naruto said, holding his katana firmly. "But I have to eliminate you," said the Blonde as he approached where he found Zabuza lying, but then the Uzumaki felt another presence near the place.
"Then let me do the honors," a voice from the trees said, and a pair of needles were embedded in Zabuza's neck, Which fell dryly to the ground, both Naruto and Kakashi opened their eyes when they saw a ninja with a mask appear from the trees. 'A Kiri Ninja Hunter' Kakashi thought as he looked at the guy's mask and saw the Mist Village symbol on it. The ninja hunter observed the Blonde and the silver-haired man for a few moments and then looked to the side and saw how the rest of team 7 along with the builder approached the place. Seeing this, Kakashi managed to stand up and looked at his other two students and his client, both Sakura and Tazuna were unharmed while Sasuke was a little bruised, but other than that nothing serious. "Thank you for weakening him so I could deliver the final blow," said the strange ninja. "I've been hunting him for several weeks." "If you don't mind, I could check his vitals," Kakashi asked, only for the masked ninja to nod, then Kakashi checked his pulse and noticed no sign.
"He's dead," Kakashi said, sighing. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll take the body," the hunter said, causing Naruto to narrow his eyes slightly. "The secrets his body holds must not fall into enemy hands," the masked person said as he took Zabuza's body on his shoulders and disappeared in a body flicker of wind. At that, Kakashi let out a sigh and then covered his eye with his ninja band and turned to see his team. "Well, team that was..." Before the silver-haired man could finish speaking he began to stagger, then collapsed, and before he hit the ground he was caught by a clone of the jinchuriki who held him. "Kakashi-sensei!!" Sakura said worriedly as she walked over to see her sensei. "Don't worry Sakura-san" said the Blonde looking at the pink-haired girl "She just has chakra exhaustion from everything she did" said Naruto looking at Tazuna. "We need a place to stay so Aniki can also rest" clarified the hanyou. "Yes, my house is not far from here," said the construct.
"Perfect," Naruto said as he summoned another clone turned into a stretcher, where they placed Kakashi "We better get moving," the jinchuriki said, receiving a nod from Sakura and Tazuna, while the emo had his train of thought. ' How come that loser has so much power, that power should belong to me ' he thought furiously seeing himself surpassed after seeing the Blonde's abilities, but the Uchiha formed a smile ' I will force him to give me that power and his techniques, and if he doesn't, the council will force him to do it ' Sasuke thought as he watched the Uzumaki's back. For a few moments, he saw his brother Itachi, pushing that thought aside the Uchiha soon began to walk along with the group.
