The Son of Two Heroes

Chapter 25

Naruto stared at the kunai over a hundred yards in front of him. He had just perfectly executed the Flying Raijin for the two hundredth time. It was actually the first time using it perfectly himself, but his clones had previously been flashing all over the pocket dimension.

He closed his eyes, and focused on the feeling of the single kunai before him. His eyes suddenly shot wide open however; when he sensed a kunai inside his parents' home. "God damnit, I'm an idiot. How could I not have thought of that. Of course you would use Flying Raijin to leave this place dad." The blond smiled to himself, and quickly collected his kunai in the area. He then closed his eyes, and flashed to the blade in his father's home.

The blond flashed into existence back in Konohagakure, only to land on a pile of rubble. "What the hell?" He asked aloud. He looked around, and found himself in the ruins of his parents' previously standing home. As he pushed himself up, he uncovered a large white cloak. The jounin pulled it from the ruined closet that it sat inside of. He had held it up in front of himself, when his balance was rocked by multiple explosions and the loud sounds of battle raging through the village. His face hardened as he realized his home was under attack. He stretched out his chakra, and felt the weak signatures of Kakashi and Rikka, along with everyone in the village. Knowing they were in trouble, the blond quickly pulled the cloak on, and disappeared in a flash of yellow.

Rikka and Kakashi sat buried in the rubble, pain coursing through them. Before them stood the orange haired man. "Your inability to move doesn't seem faked." He spoke.

"Shit I didn't make it, is Rikka alive!?" Kakashi thought to himself. He looked around and saw the bluenette pinned against a wall, a pipe sticking through her side, but she was breathing.

"I know you're not a shadow clone, Hatake Kakashi. It's over, but I will not approach you, just to be safe." Two nails ripped from a board below his feet, and flew up into his grasp. "Humph.... know pain."

Kakashi took a deep breath realizing this was the end, only to see a yellow flash appear in front of him. At the same time one appeared in front of Rikka as well. Both nails were knocked away, and before both ninja stood a blond haired man, a cloak upon his back, with orange flames licking the bottom, and the kanji reading: Yellow Flash. "Sensei!?" Kakashi called, shocked at the pure resemblance between Naruto and Minato. He had, for just a second, mistaken one for the other.

"Too slow." Said the blond. Three kunai flew at the orange haired man, but he immediately recognized just what kind of kunai they were, and repelled them with his jutsu. Naruto had expected this and appeared behind the man in a body flicker, and two kunai were thrown into the air before his foot impacted the man's back.

The body of Pain stumbled slightly before he felt a hand grab him on the bicep. He quickly grabbed the offending appendage, and slung the blond across the rubble field. As he moved to engage the thrown blond, he was forced to stop and repel a spear of lightning.

"Chidori Sharp Spear!" Came the voice of Uchiha Sasuke. "Naruto! Take them, I'll hold him off while you handle the rest of the problems. Here! Take Lady Katsuyu!" He yelled throwing the small slug at the blond.

"Thanks. Don't die Uchiha." Naruto said, quickly flashing to Rikka, who he picked up gently in his arms. Another clone popped off and grabbed Choji, flashing the boy to the Hokage.

"Hn. As if." The Uchiha replied as he watched Naruto's shadow clone grab Kakashi, and the pair of blond's flashed away to the Konoha hospital.

"How...did you get to me so quickly?" Kakashi asked his student.

"You still carry the kunai my father gave you." The masked man looked at the boy stunned, before realization dawned on his face.

"Ah, that's right. I guess I do." He said rubbing the back of his head. "Where did you get the coat?" He asked.
