Naruto : Omni-Z

CHAPTER 4

Naruto and Wolzard locked eyes, each warrior brimming with a fierce resolve. Wolzard's stance was that of a seasoned swordsman, grounded in experience and skill, while Naruto's was raw, a blend of instinct and godly power.

Wolzard charged forward, his sword an extension of his indomitable will. Naruto met his strike head-on, their blades clashing with a resounding metallic clang that echoed across the battlefield. Sparks flew as their swords met, lightning from Naruto's blade intertwining with the dark energy seeping from Wolzard's.

"You're quick, but speed alone isn't enough!"

Wolzard sneered, pressing his attack with a calculated series of slashes and thrusts.

Naruto parried each strike, his eyes narrowing as he adapted to Wolzard's movements. His eyes glowed a bright blue, tapping into the cosmic energy within him.

With a swift twist, he sidestepped Wolzard's overhead swing and delivered a powerful kick, sending his opponent stumbling back. Yet, before Naruto could follow up, Wolzard vanished in a flicker of dark magic and reappeared behind him, blade poised for a finishing blow.

In that instant, Naruto's eyes shifted to a vivid yellow. His senses sharpened, and time seemed to slow.

Without even turning, he raised his katana to intercept Wolzard's blade with precision, blocking it just before it could touch his shoulder. In this heightened state, Naruto could see all the tiny shifts in Wolzard's stance and anticipate his next moves.

Wolzard's eyes narrowed.

"What sorcery is this? Your reflexes... they've changed."

"It's not sorcery, just focus."

Naruto replied, his voice calm and unwavering. He shifted his weight and pushed Wolzard's sword aside, his gaze locked onto his opponent.

"The only thing you truly have over me is experience—and let's be honest, that just comes with age."

A flash of frustration crossed Wolzard's face. He swung again, pouring his frustration into a flurry of precise strikes. Naruto met him strike for strike, his blade movements flowing effortlessly as he began to understand Wolzard's rhythm, adapting his own movements to counter each attack.

They moved like a storm across the battlefield, Naruto's raw energy and power clashing with Wolzard's refined technique. Wolzard's dark blade swept in a low arc, aiming for Naruto's legs, but Naruto leapt above it, twisting in midair to bring his katana down toward Wolzard's shoulder. Wolzard blocked the attack with a quick pivot, yet Naruto used the force to land smoothly and launch another strike from the opposite side.

The battle grew fiercer as they traded blow for blow, each warrior's strength and will pushed to the limit. Naruto saw his chance and unleashed a powerful kick, hitting Wolzard square in the chest and sending him skidding across the ground. Wolzard quickly righted himself, his breath heavy but his stance still sharp.

Naruto's yellow eyes glinted as he stepped forward, his voice low.

"I might lack your years of skill, but I'm learning—fast."

Wolzard's grip tightened on his sword as he took a deep breath, steadying himself. A smirk tugged at his lips as he raised his sword one final time.

"Then show me what you've learned."

With a nod, Naruto raised his blade, charging forward to meet Wolzard in one final clash, each strike carrying the weight of their resolve, as blue and purple energy erupted around them, lighting up the battlefield.

Naruto and Wolzard stood amidst the debris, breathing heavily, each gauging the other's resolve. Their swords were poised, but the tension was suddenly broken by a sharp, commanding voice that cut through the air like a knife.
