Naruto Broken Shinobi

ch10

"That was quite impressive Sasuke-kun. I'm quite positive that would've even taken out a skilled jonin. Pity I'm much better than that." The dark haired girl spoke as Sasuke was panting a few feet away. He had been fighting the girl for the past ten minutes and every single time it looked like he was either about to kill her or trap her for an escape the girl came out without a scratch. Save for this last time in which he finally did damage, or at least he thinks he did damage. The girls face was burned somewhat and looked like it was peeling off. But then what was with the 'new' skin and face underneath it?

'Damn it! What the hell is she? I couldn't draw out my sword, she did something to keep Naruto out of it and she just took a full blast Ryuuka no Jutsu (Dragon Fire Technique) head on and barely looks like it touched her! How the hell am I supposed to defeat her? Even with Sakura trying to trip her up with genjutsu, which she seemed to ignore or break instantly, and my Sharingan I can't win!' Sasuke's mind was racing as he struggled and stood back to his feet and quickly drew out a kunai. The girl chuckled in response as she slowly walked forward. From the side Sakura panted but then grabbed a kunai of her own and leapt at the Kusa ninja.

"I have no interest in you!" She shouted as she spun and used a powerful roundhouse kick to send the pink haired girl flying away. The girl watched for just a second with a cruel smirk before turning it back to Sasuke. "Well now let's continue shall we?"

"Damn you! I'll kill you!"

"Kukuku, come and try it Sasuke-kun."

"Again…it's happening again." Naruto muttered as he was clutching his head while lying on the ground. He had been in this position ever since Sakura had left to help Sasuke. His mind flashing over his last Chunin Exams and his senses ignorant to everything around them. Sakuya's old weapon, the Kagirinai Buyou was a few feet away where it landed after he dropped it before and Sasuke had managed to drag the fight away from the blond to insure he didn't get hurt from a stray hit. The raven haired boy hadn't known why Naruto was suddenly useless but assumed a genjutsu that Sakura couldn't break and had ignored him in favor of trying to survive. So long as nobody came by their fight, Naruto would be safe and ignored off to the side since the girl was focusing damn near exclusively on him. She only kept enough of an eye on her surroundings to keep Sakura out and make sure nobody else interfered.

Sakura coughed up some blood as her body slammed against a tree a couple feet from the blond. As she struggled to her feet she looked over and saw him still exactly as she left him and actually growled at him. If this was any other time, Naruto likely would've beat the shit of her for it and she knew it. But this was ridiculous. Sasuke needed help and obviously she wasn't enough. But Naruto would be, the girl was positive of that fact. So Sakura steeled her determination and ran over to the blond and shook him by the shoulder. "Naruto snap out of it! We need your help!" The boy was unresponsive, just as last time. Sakura growled again and then did something off instinct that she was sure Naruto literally would kill her for later.

She slapped him across the face as hard as she could.

Naruto's eyes shot open as he glared at Sakura for a split second before wincing and shaking his head. "Ah, what happened?"

"Some Kusa girl came up, said a few words and punched you and you fucking froze! Sasuke-kun and I have been trying to handle her alone for at least ten minutes but we're getting our asses kicked! We need you Naruto! Didn't you promise to help us through the exams?" Sakura shouted, obviously stressed out as she had never cursed around either of the boys before. She was quickly pushed back as Naruto leapt to his feet and glared at her.

"I did, and I'm sorry alright? But if things are as bad as you say then you can chew me out later for this got it? Which way is Sasuke?" Naruto growled out as he closed his eyes. Sakura just stood back up holding her ribs where she was kicked before pointing towards there fight when he opened his eyes. Naruto let out a small sigh before walking over and grabbing his sword and sealing it back up.
