The two individuals became clearer once the adrenaline wore out. The first one had shoulder-length, wild dark-brown hair and dark eyes. He wears a rebreather that covers the lower half of his face and a large, clawed, gauntlet on his left arm which had a chain coming out of it that had the other end attached to his partner's own gauntlet. He wore a camouflage suit with bandages around his waist, dark-coloured, knee-length sandals and several pouches around his waist. His Kirigakure forehead protector had two horns on it.
The second one had shoulder-length, wild dark-brown hair and dark eyes. He wears a rebreather that covers the lower half of his face and a large, clawed, gauntlet on his right arm which had a chain coming out of it that had the other end attached to his partner's own gauntlet. He wore a camouflage suit with bandages around his waist, dark-coloured, knee-length sandals and a ragged black cape. His Kirigakure forehead protector had a single horn on it.
The shock might have worn off enough to have their appearance, but they felt like their limbs were frozen in place which proved to be fatal.
The two shinobi jumped in the air beyond human standards and rushed towards Natsumi.
Naruto immediately reacted and grabbed his swords hilt but stopped before he could act, "I can't baby Natsumi for the rest of her life, I'll see what they can do before I end those amateurs" Naruto thought, stopping to process to dichotomize the two shinobi.
The two metal spiked chains were in the motion of wrapping around Natsumi, Naruto inching closer and closer to his sword.
Fortunately, Sasuke broke out of his shock and immediately went to action. Jumping up into the air, he pulled two kunai and a single shuriken, out from his leg pouch.
Throwing the shuriken to the nearby tree, Sasuke managed to perfectly angle the shuriken where he wanted it then he threw the kunai which entered the middle hole of the shuriken which perfectly timed with his another kunai which was used to push the spiked chain out of the way from Natsumi and into the direction of the tree.
This was all timed perfectly to absolutely stop the chain which in return caused the two shinobi to be trapped.
But gravity still subjected Sasuke which wasn't in his favor since he had to land on top of the enemies but they were so thankful for Sasuke presence that they extended their gauntlet for Sasuke to land on, totally not because their chain which in return their arm was stuck on the tree.
Already in the momentum of falling down, Sasuke grabbed both the gauntlets with his hands which caused him to be fully lifted up by the feet with his arms.
Seeing the opportunity, Sasuke pulled back his feet and aimed for the two shinobi's faces which was a direct hit.
Unfortunately, luck had run out for the genin as the two shinobi simultaneously unhooked their chains connected to the gauntlet which let them free.
Moving faster than Sasuke could catch up, they both moved around the genin doing all the work and one of them moved towards Natsumi while the other one moved towards Tazuna and consequently Naruto.
Sasuke turned around and his heart dropped as he activated his one and two tomoe sharingan.
The sharp metal claws on the gauntlet were a near inch away from Natsumi's eye and subsequently her brain since the claw was long enough to pierce her brain.
It was clear to Sasuke that Natsumi was still overcome with fear, after all, their sensei was alive and well not fifteen seconds ago.
But Sasuke didn't have time to dwell on the little details, he was about to see the only person that he felt understood him more as the last Uchiha or the prince of Konoha, but as a lost and hurt boy.
That unknown emotion in Sasuke's heart turned into fear of losing such a person and that fear turned into anger and hatred.
In an instant, a two tomoe pattern was seen in both eyes instead of both eyes. But it was too late. Or was it?
Like time had stopped, everything went still. But that wasn't the case, time nearly couldn't keep up with him so it slowed down to extreme levels at his will.
Then it started again, Sasuke blinked away the strain from his eyes which was plenty of time to miss it.
Then Sasuke saw it, the blood, flesh, and organs dropping on the ground. In front of him he saw Naruto completely covered in blood with pieces of guts on his shoulders.
Sasuke blinked again, then he noticed the shinobi who was aiming for Natsumi who was very dead and separated from head to toe on the floor.
Sasuke took a second to process what had happened in the span of a minute, but time wasn't on his side.
"MEIZU!!!!! YOU BASTARD, I'LL KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DONE TO MY BROTHER!!" yelled the other shinobi with the one horn, he completely did a one eighty and rushed towards Naruto completely ignoring Tazuna who's right in front of him and open to kill.
Naruto merely stood there calmly, not saying anything and moving a muscle. But he slightly tilted his body towards the horned shinobi's direction.
Raising his left hand to his face, Naruto merely raised his index finger to his mouth for the universal sign of quiet down.
" Corpses shouldn't be talking,"
Moving quicker than the two tomoe sharingan could process, Naruto was behind the horned shinobi with his head already in the process of falling down.
Naruto just scoffed, "Even in death, you're too slow."
Naruto grabbed the head of Gōzu, the younger brother Meizu, and part of the deceased demon brothers duo and simply grabbed his horned headband and threw his head to the side.
Naruto sighed and created two shadow clones, one of them did a small water ninjutsu which completely got rid of the blood and guts which was stained in his clothes and body with the other shadow clone doing a small wind ninjutsu which dried him leaving him back to normal.
During this cleaning process, everyone stood there completely in shock and lost of words. How could things go to shit in two minutes.?
Their sensei was dead, the two shinobi were literally split head to toe and decapitated right in front of them.
Ironically enough, the first one to react was Tazuna, the only non-combatant in this conflict.
He quickly ran behind the tree which still had the chain of the recently deceased enemy shinobi and most likely barfed his guts out.
Then it was Sasuke, he felt his legs wouldn't work at all and he simply used the rest of his body to take a seat on the ground. He looked at the midday sun which only illuminated his pale face and sweating physique.
Lastly it was Natsumi, she fell to the ground with silent tears leaking from her face. He felt a rush of emotions which would take some time to unfold.
Finally Naruto had finished his cleaning process and had stretched his arms and cracked his neck, not like anybody's in a rush after that traumatic experience.
Sighing once again, Naruto rubbed his eyes and looked at a nearby tree. "Let's go, Kakashi"
