Naruto Gojo

Naruto vs Kimimaro

Step aside. I have no quarrel with you. My mission is to retrieve Sasuke Uchiha for Lord Orochimaru." Kimimaro

Naruto smirks"And what makes you think I'd just let you walk away with him? I've taken a bit of an interest in how things play out here."

I do not wish to engage in unnecessary conflict. You are not my enemy, but I will not hesitate to strike you down if you obstruct me." Kimimaro

'That sounds like a challenge. I'm pretty tough to beat, you know. I doubt you could "strike me down" as easily as you think." Naruto

Kimimaro's gaze hardens, sensing the confidence and hidden strength within Naruto's casual demeanor, yet he underestimates him.

'You misunderstand. This is not a challenge; it is a warning. My loyalty to Lord Orochimaru knows no bounds. I will complete my mission, with or without your consent." Kimimaro

"Loyalty's good and all, but let's see if it can help you break through my defenses. I'm not exactly easy to get past." Naruto

A flicker of annoyance crosses Kimimaro's face, but his expression remains composed. He slightly bows his head, a gesture of respect, but the air around him grows colder, more intense.

Then you leave me no choice. Prepare yourself." Kimimaro

Naruto grins" Now we're talking! But, just a heads-up, you might want to go all out from the start. You won't get many chances."

Naruto lifted the coffin into the air with his Limitless and protected it with the surrounding space.

Kimimaro and Naruto introduce themselves before clashing.

Kimimaro rushes forward, initiating the attack with a flurry of bone spikes from his fingertips, each aimed with lethal precision. Naruto, still smiling, watched as the bones were stopped effortlessly.

Kimimaro said shocked"How?!

Naruto said rubbing his hair" It's all about the space between us. But don't feel bad; you're not the first to be caught off guard.

Space...? Then I will simply have to close that distance!" Kimimaro

Launching himself into the air, Kimimaro descends towards Naruto with a lance of bone, intent on breaking through any barrier with brute force. Yet, as he approaches, his weapon stops, inches from Naruto, as if repelled by an unseen force.

Kimimaro said shocked"What sorcery is this?

"It's a cursed technique called 'Infinity. But hey, don't give up just yet. I want to see what else you've got.

Kimimaro, now realizing the extent of Gojo's power, feels a rare sensation-uncertainty. Yet, his resolve hardens. He refuses to back down, not out of pride, but duty.

"Very well. You are a formidable opponent, Naruto Gojo. But my resolve will not falter. I fight for Lord Orochimaru's dream." Kimimaro

"Kimimaro doesn't stand a chance against him." Tayuya thought

"And that's admirable, in a way. But it's my mission to bring Sasuke back. Show how me the extent of your resolve, Kimimaro." Naruto

Kimimaro activates his Curse Mark, his skin darkening and his power surging. With a fierce battle cry, he charges at Naruto, bones protruding from his palms, aiming to skewer the sorcerer with his strike. Naruto, intrigued, watches him approach, his Infinity already in effect.

As Kimimaro's bone lance seeks to pierce Naruto, it slows, then stops, inches from Naruto's face. Kimimaro was determined to hit Naruto as he pushed harder, but the infinite space between them renders his efforts futile. Naruto, still smiling, gently pushes Kimimaro back with a force that sends him skidding across the ground.

Undeterred, Kimimaro unleashes a flurry of bone missiles from his fingertips, a deadly rain intended to impale Naruto from a distance. Naruto, with minimal effort, manipulates the space around him, diverting the trajectory of the bones, making them harmless.

Realizing the need for a different strategy, Kimimaro leaps high, diving towards Naruto with a massive bone drill, aiming to break through the Infinity. Just before impact, Naruto tilts his head, activating his Blue technique, creating an attraction point beside him. Kimimaro's attack, drawn by the sudden gravitational pull, misses Naruto completely, leaving Kimimaro exposed.

Seizing the moment, Naruto steps forward, touching the ground, and activating his Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue. The ground beneath Kimimaro distorts, trying to draw him in, but Kimimaro, using his bone wings, propels himself into the air, barely escaping the pull.

From the air, Kimimaro looks down at Naruto, realizing the fight's complexity. Naruto, looking up, decides it's time to demonstrate the true gap between them. "Let's end this," he says, his voice carrying a finality that chills the bone.

"Ryōiki Tenkai: Muryōkūsho(Unlimited Void)" Naruto

Naruto crosses his fingers, he initiates his Domain Expansion: Muryōkūsho. The world around them turned white, pulling Kimimaro and Tayuya into a realm where information flooded their senses, overwhelming them. Kimimaro frozen, his mind assaulted by endless knowledge and stimuli, rendering him incapable of movement or thought, fell from the sky.

Naruto caught Kimimaro and placed him on the ground. "It's over," he says, not with arrogance, but with a somber tone. Naruto's domain Domain dissipates, the world returns to normal.

A couple of minutes later.

Naruto stands over Kimimaro, offering a hand to help him up. "You fought well," Naruto commends, acknowledging the warrior's spirit

The toll of Kimimaro's mysterious illness, exacerbated by the exertion of combat against an opponent as overwhelmingly powerful as Naruto finally kicks in.

Kimimaro, struggling to keep himself upright, coughs harshly, a grim reminder of the terminal illness eating away at his life. With pride still gleaming in his eyes, he looks up at Naruto, a defeated warrior ready to face his end.

"Finish it... I have failed my mission... and my body has betrayed me. There is no honor in being spared. Do it." Kimimaro

Naruto shakes his head"I don't think so. You're a strong fighter; it's rare to see someone push themselves this hard. Dying here would be a waste." Naruto

Despite the situation's gravity, Naruto's tone remains light, almost teasing, but his intention is sincere. He steps forward, crouching beside the fallen Kimimaro.

"You mock me... in my final moments?" Kimimaro

"No mocking here. Just stating a fact. You fought well, and that disease of yours is the only reason you're down. I don't kill warriors defeated by their own bodies." Naruto

Kimimaro's eyes widen slightly, a mix of confusion and stubborn pride clashing within him. His breaths are shallow, pained, but he finds the strength to speak.

"Why...? Why would you show mercy to an enemy?" Kimimaro

"Just feeling generous. Besides, wouldn't it be more fun to have a rematch when you're not at death's door. Of course I won't use Infinity next time.

"I... I do not understand you, Naruto Gojo." Kimimaro

"That's alright. Not many do." Naruto
