Chereads / Naruto: Scourge of Chakra / Chapter 19 - Land of Waves-3

Chapter 19 - Land of Waves-3

NARUTO POV:

Naruto dodged a dozen ice spikes, each the length of a sword, by backflipping on to his hands and then onto his legs.

Sasuke flanked the hunter-nin from the left, throwing a couple of lightning covered kunai at her.

She rolled under the kunai and threw one of her own with such speed that even with the Sharingan, Sasuke barely managed to dodge it.

Naruto used the distraction and jumped in, managing to grab one of her hands with one of his own.

"Now I gotcha" Naruto said, grinning.

"I'm afraid it's the other way around" The hunter-nin said as she started doing one-handed hand signs.

She jumped as the water around them rose in the air and took the shape of tiny needles.

"A thousand needles of death!" she called out as the needles all rushed towards Naruto at high speeds.

"Here's three reasons why you've lost" Naruto started, pulling out one of his swords and cutting through all the needles by spinning so fast he looked like a black tornado.

"One: you forgot there's two of us" Sasuke said as he appeared behind her in a blur and kicked her towards the ground.

"Two: you overestimated yourself, and got overconfident Dattebayo" Naruto said as he punched her in the gut.

The Hunter-nin went flying, scraping her palms as she tried to stop herself.

"Three: You're holding back against us even after seeing that we're about even" Sasuke said, the two Tomoe in his Sharingan slowly spinning.

"You're right." she said "I'll stop holding back if my opponents even individually are able to keep up with me."

She did a unique one-handed sign as the air around them turned cold.

"Demonic Ice Mirrors!" she called out as she entered one of the many Ice mirrors which had appeared out of thin air in the shape of a dome around them.

She stepped into one of the mirrors and a copy of her appeared in every single mirror.

"What the-OUCH" Naruto gasped as he was kicked out of the way of a barrage of ice senbon by Sasuke, who leaped away as well.

"Pay attention" Sasuke commanded.

"Yeah yeah" Naruto muttered as he rolled to the side, evading another set of senbon.

"Oi Sasuke, how much chakra you got left?" he asked as they went back-to-back, using their respective blades to deflect any incoming senbon.

"More than enough for what we need to do" Sasuke said with a smirk as he started doing hand signs.

As he ended his hand signs, Sasuke's hands were covered in bright orange flames.

"Katon: Pīnukan no ryōiki" (fire style: fire god's domain) he called out as he punched the air, resulting in a dome of flames surrounding the duo.

"Fuuton: Kazakiri danmaku" (Wind style: wind slash barrage) Naruto called out as he jumped in the air and sent out multiple slashes of sharp wind.

As the wind slashes went through the dome, the hunter nin saw that the slashes of wind turned into huge arcs of white-hot flames, coming straight at her.

"Combo move: White fire dance" Sasuke and Naruto called together.

There were multiple shattering sounds as one by one the ice mirrors broke from the attack.

The hunter-nin quickly jumped out of the mirror she was in as it shattered as well and landed on the ground before flipping back up to a standing position.

"Not bad. But it's over! Kōri no tsunami(ice tidal wave)" she called out as she did a few one-handed hand signs and jumped.

Nothing happened until,

"Holy shit!" Naruto screamed as a huge wave of water rose up from under the bridge, heading straight for them.

"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled as he appeared beside Naruto in a blue blur, small lightning sparks flying off of his feet.

He grabbed Naruto and threw him into the air as the wave made it to where they were, and froze over, trapping Sasuke under several meters of pure ice.

Naruto landed on his back as Gravity took hold of him.

"You bastard" he yelled as his eyes turned red with slits in them and his body was covered in an orange bubbly cloak with a tail behind him.

The hunter nin couldn't even raise her arms to block as Naruto hit her with punches fast enough to leave afterimages, making it look like he had multiple orange wind covered arms.

"Kaze Utsu no Danmaku(Wind hit barrage)" he called out as she managed to finally bring up an arm to use a one-handed sign.

"Hyoton:Aisu(Ice style: Ice shell)" she said as she was surrounded in a spherical shell made of ice.

Naruto stopped punching as he saw that the shell was repairing itself faster than he could damage it.

He took a deep breath before channeling all the chakra of the One-tail cloak to his right arm.

"Bijuton: Kyodaina ken(Tailed beast style: Giant fist)" he said as he raised up his right hand, and along it a huge arm made of the orange bubbly chakra.

He clenched and unclenched his fist to test it, and saw that the Jutsu worked: the Giant hand made the exact same movements as his actual hand.

He grabbed the ice sphere and squeezed it, hard enough to make cracks, but those repaired themselves quickly as well, slower than before due to the corrosive nature of Kurama's chakra.

He then chanelled his anti-chakra into the hand, causing the Giant fist to go from orange to black.

This time when he squeezed, it broke apart like an egg.

Naruto removed his actual hand from the chakra construct and willed it to wrap around her, like ropes that prevented her from using chakra.

He turned around to see the ice wave melting rapidly with the area were Sasuke was trapped glowing bright yellow.

There was a huge 'BOOM' as the yellow light turned purple for a second before fading.

Naruto ran there to see a panting Sasuke clutch his right arm, which looked badly burnt, kneeling on the ground.

"The hunter nin?" he asked as he saw Naruto approach and stood up.

Naruto didn't say anything and pointed to where the Hunter nin stood, unable to use chakra.

"Well then, let's see who you are" Sasuke declared as he put his arm in a makeshift arm cast using the supplies in the storage seal on his armband.

They ripped away the mask and Naruto was flabbergasted when he saw the face of their opponent.

"H-Haku?!" he screamed in shock.
