Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ A Life for a Life ❯ Arrival of a Lost one Part 3 ( Chapter 63 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

I do not own Naruto

Action is such a PAIN to write....

Huntsvilletiger, Rasengan86...- Huggles both of you and gives you loads of cookies

Sasuke7809...- Nope not a Sasu/Naru. Don't have enough experience in writing yaoi nor do I wish to really anymore in trying it. I don't mind reading it or anything to be honest because I absolutely adore Restless by Jelp which can be found on this site as well as Volatile by hina88 which can be found on adultfanfiction. (I highly recommend both of these stories guys, even if you don't like Yaoi. These two are among the best stories I have ever read!)

Ichihime....- What I say in the beginning in black says it all. I think that's why I like Naruto so much. The relationship between Naruto and Sasuke reminds me of myself and my brother. We absolutely loathe each other. But there is nothing I wouldn't do within my power to help my little brother and the same goes for him. After all you should see when I bring dates to meet him and mom. Mom says nothing because he shoots all the dark looks and threatens homicide!

By the way some of you have been inquiring about the bonus I was referring to earlier. If you look at what I have written in the previous chapter...Kakashi has TWO Sharingan eyes and his white chakra! Not one....hence think about it and please quit asking me!

Chapter 63

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Or at least that's what the old saying is supposed to be right?

The two heroes of this world, several times could have been called enemies and at other times the best of friends. You know what the definition for that is in my opinion...Fate muses as he talks to his compatriots. His sister beside him looking annoyed.

Sibling rivalry

Konoha Village, Uzamaki Compound same day...

Sasuke stood side by side with the one person, whom since he became a genin, he could respect. And honestly call his best friend and brother in all but blood.

Naruto...

He had wanted to see if his friend had changed any and had become stronger. Now was the time as the missing ninjas rushed them, with a heavy intent to kill. Both young men waiting patiently, they move faster then what any have ever done before.

Moving as fast as he had done before, when they had seen one another previously Sasuke, did familiar seals and launched the Fireballs that his family has been known for. Sasami beside him as she had learned much was busy taking on her own ninja with the aide from a pair of snakes beside her.

While he provided cover though, he had to stop a moment as a three pronged Kunai whizzed by him and said blonde friend, shouts out something.

HIRIASHIN!

A flash of blue and a three pronged kunai was the only visible sign now of Naruto being anywhere in the small area. The ninjas getting hit left and right, he and Sasami provided the cover for a majority of them as well as taking on the three or four that would break free from Naruto's range.

Breathing heavily from exhaustion as Naruto in using his new speed jutsu, had zipped though and taken out half of their attackers, the two boys looked at one another grimly. There were still plenty more coming....

Both making the same seals, as they seem to almost think alike, they stand apart and move in unison...

SHURIKEN KAGENO JUTSU

A Shuriken flying out, from each one, it splits and doubles over and over again. The ones attacking them dodging what they can, they are stunned as they yelp in pain as several turn into snakes in mid air. Both teenage boys look at the young girl behind them, who just stares back innocently alongside a slithering companion.

“What? It was his idea...” The little girl replied as both boys and the snake looked at her pointedly.

Naruto looks at Sasuke and shakes his head. “Don't tell me you taught her teme....”

“Hn...what if I did? She's got your personality more or less dobe.”

Growling a little bit in rage Naruto goes through rapid seals as he sweeps his feet underneath a couple of ninjas trying to get him from the side. Another clone of him appearing the youth and the clone work in tandem. Both linking their arms as they face one another, they begin to swing each other as weapons.

Their feet striking home and with a powerful force, those ninja that have managed to avoid the snakes or taken the least amount of damage have pressed forward. Only to find themselves being flung away hard and forceful back the way they came. Sasuke in the middle of doing hand to hand combat with several was being backed up by Sasami and several snakes who were working in a controlled army like pattern.

One thing that the Uchiha had immediately started off the little girl in learning was strategy. The first thing he had done, when he had decided to take a look at her records from the Sound academy, he had noticed the little girl's methods to escape.

She had a flair for it...

So one of the things he had done was taught her to play shogi. Teaching her the game was indeed interesting, and eventually she did manage to beat him. The only other person to have ever beaten him in strategy was Shikamaru.

So as the snakes albeit small alongside a couple of larger ones went to work on ninjas alongside Sasuke. The youth was finding they were buying him those moments he needed to hit and swing with Kusanagi as well as his fist.

Still more and more came.

Eventually the two young men and the little girl began to get worn out. Sasuke and Sasami's fireballs becoming smaller with each use as Naruto's clones seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

Stamina was beginning to be a problem. The snakes were doing their best to support and Naruto had been trying not to summon any of the toads or use any of the Kyuubi's powers unless he needed to. Especially this close to his own house! He didn't want to destroy it in an accident of some kind or other!

Swinging hard to stop one of the ninjas from sending forth a series of exploding tags Naruto managed to stop him. But not before several of them got past him. Looking on in fear, he breathes a sigh of relief as a yellow flash erupts and his father sends a series of his own tags to meet the ones that had escaped. A series of explosions in mid air, the tags created a smoke barrier long enough for Sasuke to turn and notice the older blonde's features with surprise.

Giving a very Narutoish grin, the older man zipped out again in a yellow flash as the smoke overtook them all from the tags. Sakura running to both him and Naruto, the pink haired Ninja manages to pull both back to safety alongside Sasami with the little girl's help. The smoke clearing, the only thing Sasuke could see were bright yellow flashes, much like Naruto's blue ones moving among the ninjas.

Missing or not, the fact that these flashes were yellow, caused many of them to turn tail and flee.

Arashi almost giggled with amusement as the ninjas fled back into the woods. ANBU had dropped in at the moment left and right. The other problems taken care of all over Konoha, they had come here the minute the clans had those problems under control.

“Sometimes it pays to be famous.” The older blonde grinned mischievously. Turning around to find Sakura healing the two teenage boys and young girl, he allowed the ANBU to finish off the remaining ninja with a zealous kind of pleasure. Ever since most of them found out about Danzou and his more loyal men in the ROOTS division, they have been privately via Wolf and Hawk telling Arashi about the goings on.

So instead of one spy....

They had several, in fact at the news of Umiko switching sides, one known simply as Tiger had volunteered to become her private guard while she was being held. That had pleased Tsunade as well as Naruto to know end. They knew who Tiger was...

Yuugao...

She was someone whom both the Fifth and Arashi's son trusted, for unlike some of the others who wanted nothing to do with Umiko. Anything that would thwart Sound was something she would be very pleased to do. Being the one ANBU there Yuugao, had thwarted Danzou and his men several times, as he claimed to have orders from either Tsunade or Arashi to take the prisoner away and to his custody.

Not ready to lure out the big fish with Umiko's aide, both Hokages had told Yuugao that unless Gai had come to her with a specific phrase she was not allow Umiko to be taken anywhere. Surprised by the fact that it was Gai that the Hokages had chosen, she had understood their foresight with ease. Shizune was well known to be Tsunade's assistant and it was recently known that Kakashi was also once Arashi's student long ago.

Danzou had thought and used their names in hopes of getting past Yuugao and it still did not work.

Lost in thought, as he pondered other things, Arashi looked up in time to find Sakura struggling with Sasami's aide, to keep his two sons from killing one another. Striding forward, Arashi did the first thing that comes to mind.

Slapped both of them upside the head....

Naruto yelping in pain, Sasuke had done the first thing that came to mind. He struck out with his fist. Considering though that this was the legendary Yellow Flash, the young Uchiha found his arm twisted a second later behind his back. Wincing in pain, Sasuke brought out the Sharingan in hopes to turn tables on his opponent, to find that the yellow aura that the Flash exuded clouded the Sharingan.....

“That doesn't work on me son....” Arashi mused quietly as he jumped over Sasuke's feet. The youth growling in uncontrolled rage, a series of tattoos started to spread across Sasuke's skin. These tattoos all too familiar, Sasami screams out as she struggles to stop him.

“Sasuke-brother no! Don't surrender!” The little girl shrieked as she looked at Arashi pleadingly. Still, as another ominous aura starts to enter the air, Arashi turns to find his son glowing red and radiating the power of the Nine Tailed Fox.

“Release him Father...there is much in the Teme that needs to be knocked down a peg or two.”

Understanding his words and the gentle look behind the red eyes, Arashi understands as this comes from both Naruto and the Kyuubi's combined control. This fight will be much like the one before hat he had been forced to do with his own son weeks ago.

Releasing Sasuke, whose hair went from black to gray, Arashi watches sadly as both boys leap at one another at speeds that near rival his own. He hurriedly grabs Sasami to get her out of the way as she tries to stop them. Sakura crying out in pain understands as she had seen that look once before....

Both of them holding the child back, they watch as a red and bluish black blur fight one another in mid air.

“Why....why?” Sakura said sadly. Kakashi having arrived, by now with Tsunade, the two understood although reluctantly. Why Arashi was holding them back.

“Some things were meant to happen. You can't escape Fate all the time...”
