Naruto: Ultimate swordsman by Isom

Chapter 13: team 7 and friend vs. the art psychos.

Naruto jumped to the left to avoid getting poisoned knife to the chest from one puppet. He then had to throw out a quick kick to stop another one from stabbing him in the back. He spun around and aimed for the puppets legs.

"Shin!"

The puppet was knocked into the air.

Naruto jumped after him and aimed a leg at the puppet's thigh

"Veal Shoot!"

The puppet was sent flying away and crashed into a rock hidden in the sand dunes.

Sakura jumped up to avoid getting hit with a poisonous dart shot from a puppet's mouth. She then charged at it ducking more darts before she threw out a punch that obliterated the puppet's torso.

"Whoa," Kakashi said as he used Storm Rage to cut down a puppet, "When did Sakura get so strong?""I was given a medical scroll by the old pervert," Sasuke explained as he threw a kunai imbedding it between the eyes of one puppet, "She has incredible strength that might be on par with Tsunade, but we aren't sure yet."

Kakashi was taken out of the conversation when a puppet wielding a poison ax nearly cut him in half. He charged Storm Rage with electric chakra and swung it destroying the puppet.

"Don't think you're out of this yet," Deidara said as he shot a clay bird at Sasuke.

Sasuke jumped away just in time for the bird to explode. He then went through hand signs.

"Fire Style: Hell's Furnace!" he shouted in his mind.

A huge jet of flame shot out of his mouth. A few puppets were burned and Deidara managed to jump out of the way. The sand on the ground was turned to glass and when the flames hit a rock it exploded.

Deidara growled angrily. He then glared at the Uchiha. As he did he noticed something that was strange. "You don't have your Sharingan active," he said surprised.

"I don't follow the ways of my old clan," Sasuke said, "I fight using my own strength.""Well then," Deidara said forming a katana out of clay, "Let's see how strong you are."The two then charged at each other and locked swords.

Kakashi saw this and became worried. He looked at Naruto and made a few indiscreet signs despite the battle that was waging around them. Naruto nodded as he saw them. Then he jumped up on top of a puppets head.

"Party Table Kick Course!"

The blonde athletically moved on the puppets head and grasped it despite the swords in his hands. He then proceeded to bust up a few puppets that were nearby. Each one had either it's chest busted open or had it's head crushed. The blonde then jumped off and then kicked the puppet he was balancing on.

Naruto made hand signs at Sakura who nodded. She then charged at the remaining of Sasori's puppets with Chiyo both of them using their incredible strength to destroy them.

Meanwhile Sasuke and Deidara were locking swords. Surprisingly the clay used in Deidara's sword was very durable and matched Sasuke's steel.

"You're good," Deidara said, "but it won't be enough to beat me.""To you maybe," Sasuke said, "but you made one tragic mistake when it came to fighting me."Deidara leaning in and growled, "What?""You're looking me in the eyes." Sasuke said.

The Uchiha then opened his eyes to reveal a fully matured Sharingan. Deidara would have moved, but he was then placed in a genjutsu that kept him from moving.

'Genjutsu art: Night of the Clan Massacre!"

Deidara froze then he fell prey to genjutsu.
