The ground in front of him turned into a dark murky substance, trapping the snakes within, disabling their movement. Jiraiya audibly cursed, "Damn it! It isn't very deep at all! I must still be under the effects of Tsunade's drug."
Naruto shook his head, "Man ero-sennin, you sure do suck today. Come on, we don't need any help right now anyway." Naruto turned to Gamakichi, "Go over to the lady in black and the blonde woman and stay put. This won't be a nice battle." Gamakichi hopped off as the battle stalemated.
Jiraiya and Naruto both launched out at their chosen opponents, who broke off to confront them separately. Jiraiya began assaulting Orochimaru who was noticeably unable to attack using his arms, instead lashing out with kicks and slipping away from Jiraiya's assault.
Jiraiya decided to tease his former teammate, "Man it must be hard to use jutsu with no arms eh? That must suck for a guy like you huh Orochmaru?"
Orochimaru gave a superior smirk, "I don't even need my arms to destroy you Jiraiya. I saw your weak jutsu, you're just as bad as me."
Jiraiya barked out a laugh, "I guess that's true as well. I guess we're just going to have to wait for our retainers to finish off their little speck of business before we can really get to the main event."
Orochimaru laughed slowly, "The Kyuubi-child Jiraiya? I've seen what he can do. Against Kabuto he has no chance, the boy has absolutely no skill as a shinobi."
Jiraiya gave a big grin, "And that would be my fault. But don't worry 'Roachy, I fixed him up before we even got to this town. I'm letting him fight Kabuto down there because I know he'll win. Consider this his coming out party so to speak."
Orochimaru looked befuddled, "I fought him Jiraiya. Even going as hard as he could, Kyuubi's chakra and all, he didn't come close to impressing me. Now the Uchiha, what strength. A true genius."
Jiraiya broke down in laughter, "I guess the standards for a genius are seriously declining these days. If just being a genin at the regular age makes you a genius then I don't know what the hell to call Naruto."
Orochimaru gave a cruel grin, "How about failure? Loser? Cannon fodder? Front-line trash? Take your pick or make a few more of your own."
Jiraiya had a placid smile on his face as he just stared at Orochimaru, "Ah, that's a good one."
Orochimaru contorted his face in confusion, "What is? What are you talking about."
Jiraiya gave him a hard look, "That face of yours just now. I want to remember it for later. Just so I can compare it to the look on your face after you see what the gaki can really do."
XxX
Naruto faced off with Kabuto a distance away from where Orochimaru and Jiraiya were currently in conflict. Kabuto crossed his arms, a decided superior smirk on his face, "You might want to leave this place before things get messy, you're a little out of your element here. Orochimaru-sama, myself, Jiraiya, Tsunade, even the woman with Tsunade. All of us are high-level shinobi. I myself am on par with Kakashi Hatake. And you, you're just a cute little genin that's out of his place."
Naruto started chuckling, but then chuckling gave way to full-blown laughter, "Haha, man I'm glad I didn't end up broken like everybody else in Ne, because hearing that little 'threatening' rundown was too much. You? Comparable to Kakashi Hatake? I'll believe it when I feel it."
Naruto pointed back in Tsunade's general direction, "I already beat Tsunade the other day. I could have killed her if I wanted to, knowing she's got hemophobia would have easier than it was." He pointed in the direction of the trapped snakes, "Orochimaru is crippled. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch for me to beat him too, especially if he's underestimating me like you."
Kabuto laughed loudly, "To be naïve genin… Believing that you can fight and defeat anyone."
Naruto scratched his head, "How to get you to understand? …Okay, you obviously remember four years ago when one of Otogakure's bases got sacked and Orochimaru sent out his elite bodyguards to handle the intrusion."
Kabuto nodded, "Those fools were punished for allowing the intruder to escape. A spy like that could have been detrimental to our efforts. They haven't failed since." Kabuto's eyes snapped open wide, "Wait? Are you really saying? There's no way, you would have had to have been eight years old!"
Naruto grinned widely, "DING DING DING DING DING! Got it in one Kabu-teme! It was me! I'd have gotten away clean too if it wasn't for ero-sennin's love for dramatic bullshit. Who blows up the information depot during a reconnaissance mission? Honestly, how is that stealth?"
Kabuto pointed at him accusingly, "No way. From what I've seen and from the information on you you're nothing! A low level genin!"
Naruto chuckled, "Well that's what the Konoha records had on one Kabuto Yakushi also if you'll recall. We all know how that turned out right Mr. Spy? If you were capable of it then why wouldn't I be? I didn't even have to join any ranks and keep suspicion off like you did, all I had to do was not get caught."
Naruto tapped his finger on his head, "I had the plans for your invasion all up here way back then. Every move you had planned out over the long term was all up here. All of your bases, the info that was listed on your cursed seal, the true nature of Orochimaru's immortality jutsu, it's all here. The only reason your invasion had even half of a chance of even getting off of the ground was because of some unfortunate business that ended with me getting my memory and abilities sealed off before I could tell the necessary people."
Kabuto tilted his glasses and scoffed, "Well then Naruto-kun, please show me these 'skills' of yours that allowed you to breach our defenses. I'm in need of a new form of entertainment after all."
Naruto nodded sagely, "Ah I see. I guess it would get boring being Orochimaru's ass-muppet after a while. Playing hide the trouser-snake would get dull even for a flaming fruit like you I assume."
Kabuto gritted his teeth in anger, "Do not slander Orochimaru-sama like that. What could you possibly know about his power!"
Naruto grinned, "Hey, being a pedophilic creep doesn't mean he's weak, and from the way you're defending him it sounds like a fucking lie to me boy! And don't think I didn't notice how you refrained from defending yourself either!"
Kabuto rushed in at Naruto who set himself in a defensive stance. Kabuto's hands glowed blue as he neared closer. Naruto dodged his first attacks and kicked him back to get some distance between them, "Chakra scalpels I see. You're medic-ninja? Letting you in close wouldn't be too favorable as long as you're using that."
