Chapter 46: Oppressive Power

Devastation, Naruto felt his heart break into a million pieces; he looked at Hinata's ashen face, how her hair seemed to be lacking any life, he tried to see if it was a genjutsu, but it was not.

"The reaction was better than what I could have expected." laughed Orochimaru; Naruto was just stood unseeingly, his eyes glassy.

"Orochimaru-sama." muttered Kabuto worryingly. Naruto felt tears fall down his face, he couldn't breathe.

"Poor girl couldn't even last through the first experiment, shame really. Deal with him." Orochimaru said, the ninja that surrounded the valley leapt up, each brandishing weapons to attack Naruto, Naruto retreated into his mind; he walked to the stone in the pond.

"Naruto, I know you are upset, but don't do this!" growled Kurama, Naruto simply flipped the world, his fingers motioning for the Kyuubi, said reflection in the pool rippled as Kurama slammed into it, in human form Kurama tried to turn his head away, but Naruto forcefully grabbed his jaw. Kurama let out a snarl as he looked into the swirling sharingan.

"This is going to get interesting." said Orochimaru, Kabuto felt the chakra increase and looked shocked. Naruto opened his eyes and glared at Orochimaru, Naruto's sharingan changed, the tomoes changed into slits, causing Naruto to have three miniature slits rotating around his circle pupil. The first lot of ninja landed on the water and ran towards Naruto, Naruto wordlessly removed his blade from its sheath, he twirled the sheath in his hand, and then with a quick movement, launched it into the sky, three shadow clones appeared around Naruto, and then they too disappeared, the first row of men got to Naruto, and Naruto dodged the first stab from a sword, in a fluid movement, he spun out from beneath the blade and rolled over the ninja, his blade twirled in his hand, decapitating the ninja, another ninja jumped at Naruto, attempting to cleave him in half, Naruto spun and sliced the man across his midriff, Naruto moved fluently through the ninja, slicing them down almost before they could get a hit in, Naruto flipped backwards, he jumped and stabbed his blade down, through the open mouth of one of the ninja, Naruto flashed a few single hand seals, and spun to look at the sky, he blew out a large blue fireball, twice the size of a regular great fireball. He swiftly pulled the blade out of the ninja and flipped over another two ninja, his sword decapitating them as he spun, the moment he landed.

"He truly is amazingly strong!" said Orochimaru, awe in his tone.

"Let's just hope our best men is good enough" said Kabuto; he was busy healing Sasuke, who was watching over the cliff in begrudging awe. Naruto gracefully cut down two more men, he twisted the blade slightly, so both hands were on it, Sasuke couldn't believe his eyes, Naruto's slicing speed had doubled, Naruto stabbed, sliced and dismembered, Naruto flipped backwards, landing on a ninja's shoulders, two ninja jumped up to attack him, Naruto leant back, his blade going behind him in a wide arc, slicing the top of the man's head off, Naruto spun the blade gracefully in his hand, and in a reverse grip he sliced across the man's midriff. Naruto flipped off of the man's shoulders, his sword slicing diagonally, instantly killing the man. Everyone noticed how Naruto's sword was hazy, like it was surrounded by a massive heat.

"Interesting indeed." muttered Orochimaru, Kabuto also noticed the hazy sword.

"Is that some sort of heat haze?" questioned Kabuto, Orochimaru nodded.

"Indeed it is, no wonder he is chopping through them so easily." said Orochimaru, his eyes were drew from the fight to the sky which was thundering a bright blue beneath the dark ash clouds

"I wonder what technique that is?" thought Orochimaru, unbeknownst to them, three Naruto clones sat in a circle, there forefingers and thumbs touching, the sheath of the blade was stood up, embedded in the ground, their eyes were closed tight. Naruto jumped backwards, a blade slicing past his face, his slitted sharingan spun, the man froze; Naruto flipped over him, landing on the shoulders of another ninja. Naruto crouched slightly before he jumped, he became a blur as he dashed through most of the ninja; he appeared flipping through the air, his hands in the horse seal.
