Chapter 21: Welcome To Nami No Kuni

The two boys stood back to back, Naruto stood with his hands in his pockets; his red hair blowing in the breeze, his fringe covered his eyes, blocking them from the assailants view. Sasuke was in a slight crouch a growl slipping through his lips.

"Whose smart idea was it to leave without weapons?" whispered Sasuke harshly, Naruto just stood focused on the ring of men surrounding them.

"You are a ninja, deal with it" said Naruto just as harshly, Naruto watched as the man threw a heavy punch towards his head, Naruto dodged to the side, and with a leap a hand latched onto the man's shoulder, using momentum, Naruto charged his body with fire, and flipped over the man, as Naruto landed, the guy bent backwards horribly due to Naruto's height compared to his own. Naruto then simply lifted the man as if he weighed nothing and launched him into the side of one of the buildings. Sasuke heard the crash and felt Naruto stand back behind him.

"You brats" yelled one of the other men, Naruto scowled and with an elegant flick of his arm out to the side, a circle of blue swords began revolving around himself and Sasuke. Sasuke looked at them in awe, he was about to touch one, when Naruto hissed slightly.

"Don't touch" growled Naruto, the leader of the group looked un-afraid.

"What are you waiting for grab the brats" yelled the man, Naruto smirked slightly.

"Can I just say, anyone who is hit with this will lose a limb, if it impales you, you are instantly dead, just a touch will leave you with severe untreatable burns" said Naruto simply, Sasuke quickly withdraw his arms into himself. The large man just sneered and moved forward.

"He's bluffing, Ninja are supposed to protect lives" said the man, Sasuke watched as Naruto raised a hand and clicked, the blades suddenly moved; they were revolving above the leader, each was pointing down diagonally, each ready to spear him on command.

"Try me" said Naruto simply, the men scowled and began murmuring; they admitted defeat and retrieved their friend from the wall. The leader looked up at the blades as the still followed him, each of the men walked down an alleyway.

"Please, ninja-san, don't let them leave, they are Gato's thugs. They will just torture us more" said a family who were hiding their children behind them, Naruto's cold gaze moved over them slightly.

"Naruto, just release the swords" said Sasuke, Naruto just clicked his fingers, and quick screams were heard from the alleyway, a blue light shone out before it died down. Sasuke ran to the mouth of the alley and looked at the six piles of ash. He turned and looked at Naruto, who had just decided to walk off. Sasuke followed quickly a scowl on his face.

"We need to scope the area, but I think we have seen enough. You?" questioned Naruto; Sasuke just made a grunt and nodded. Sasuke once again gave Naruto the once over, he was simply just like his brother, Sasuke found it eerie how similar they were, but Naruto wasn't completely cold, he was skilled, Sasuke would never forget the ass kicking he had received from Naruto, but Naruto had that subtle warmth, he cared, clearly enough to kill six men who were terrorizing a town. Naruto looked at the sky and sighed.

"How did you make those sword things" asked Sasuke, Naruto just shrugged.

"A lot of hard work" he answered simply; Sasuke bristled slightly but nodded anyway.

TU

Naruto felt his eyes fly open, a cold sweat on his body. He felt his eyes squint in annoyance slightly, he could tell he was used to the nightmares now, that every time he woke up, he just found something different to do, the bags beneath his eyes were the only thing showing his lack of sleep. He stood and threw on his t-shirt, after strapping his tanto on, he was made jump by a simple page turn.
