You before me ( Sasunaru)

Chapter 5

Swipe

Dodge

Run

Repeat

A seemingly endless loop as the two opposites battled out. Kunai to kunai clashing and clanging making fiery sparks fly as the battle wore on, both fought to the kill. Naruto ran around swirling and swiping at any part of his demon he could reached. Both were on the same level. The demon however seemed to be on a whole new level of stamina and Naruto began to waver ever so slightly. He cant keep this up forever. He would eventually tire at some point and that would only confirm his death.

Damn it, he can copy all of my moves! The blond nin thought in distress as he desperately searched in his mind a way he could defeat his own demon. It seemed to know all of his moves, his jutsus. This frustrated the boy to no end.

"Its no use. You can never truly run away from the demon inside you, Naruto,"taunted the demon, a cruel smirk played on his lips like a predatory that found its prey. The feeling of terror that intoxicated the villain immensely. He leered at him teasingly, taunting him with his fears, his regrets. It was all a lovely game to him.

"SHuT uP!!!!" Naruto shouted out, as anger invaded his system like a plague, threatening to erase all rational thoughts. Manifesting his shadow clone he focused his chakra, rotating it with the help of the other to form the familiar blue vortex of chakra swirling powerfully in a tight ball in his right hand and cried out,

"RASENGAN!!"

He rushed forward in attempt to slam in against the other only to his horror the latter had come the exact same thing and was now head to head with him with his own form of the same jutsu. Azure eyes widened in terror delighting the other and he flew backwards due to the impact.

"Damn it!" he muttered angrily and the other simply smirked at him, blood red eyes glowing gleefully at the frustration of his adversary. Oh how delightfully exquisite it felt to him! He decided to taunt him more.

"Tsk, and you call yourself a shinobi? Pathetic. You know those villagers before were right. No one wants a monster. And that's exactly what you are."

Naruto bit his bottom lip trying to block out the hurtful words as they brought up painful memories.

"No, you're the real monster!! He said indignantly. The latter merely smiled coldly,

"Really now? If I recall I never hosted a demon, one that killed thousands of lives including your own parents. Hmm, come to think of it when you put it that way, it actually means you've been harbouring a murderer right among your very people! How ironic isn't it? You think they would forget so easily? The little boy who harboured the beast that murdered many people's families and loved ones? Your own senseis even dislikes you, your so-called friends scorned you, and the boy you loved despised you. Do you really think you're of any more worth than a turd on the ground? Face it, once a monster always a monster. You hurt Sakura chan too didn't you? And almost killed Deidara? Do I need more proof faggot?"

Each word, every syllable stabbed him, reopening old scars that had just begun to heal. His heart clenched as he felt the air leave his lungs, cerulean eyes brimming with unshed tears and shook his head vigorously in attempt to forget but all in vain as they engraved fresh wounds in the blond nin's heart.
