The Student: A Naruto Fanfiction

Chapter 27: The Red Reaper

"He's just a boy Mei-sama, he can no longer be able to fight in this war without his master." Chojuro pleaded to the red haired woman.

"But he also destroyed Yagura in only a few minutes by himself." Aoi said, arguing. Mei, who was sitting at a desk, contemplating.

"How about," She began, looking at the blonde who was sitting at the door, his scarf around his face, covering his cheek scars with lifeless eyes. "We give him the choice." He pushed himself off the wall and walked up, looking Mei straight in the eye.

"I want to make those who sided with the bastard who killed my sensei to suffer." Mei nodded, understanding his need for revenge.

"Then it's settled, you'll still be able to fight." Naruto nodded in a slight thanks before the building they were in shook as a large explosion was heard. Mei looked at Naruto. "Looks like you'll be able to do that a lot quicker than expected." Naruto nodded as the four stormed out the building, joining with the other resisters.

Sure, Yagura was dead, but killing the leader of the enemy teams will only shorten the war, not win it. And, with the looks of the enemy that were charging the compound, this was the final battle.

Naruto pulled out his sword his eyes lifeless as he gazed at what seemed to be more than 50 shinobi. He started walking towards them slowly, his grip on his sword tightening.

"Naruto-kun, stop it! We still have to make a plan to make a counterattack!" Mei shouted. Naruto stopped and looked back.

"No." He whispered. "If I die, then that's what will happen. But I won't. I can't. I still have things to do." He then turned his attention back to the incoming small army. "And since I still have things to do, these people will die."

He then broke out into a run, many plans and formations that Itachi had passed on to him swarming through his head in seconds before he found the best plan. He made a couple handseals before he started blowing out large fireballs as he jumped into the air and watched as they hit there targets, splitting the group of shinobi up and making them use water jutsu to block the flames.

However, as the fireballs hit the water, the enemy shinobi watched in horror as the fireballs heated up the water, to a boiling point and all screamed in agony as the boiling water fell on top of them.

Those who were quick thinkers, immediately applied chakra to their skin, protecting them from the boiling water as they watched their comrades fall, with severe burns and boils covered their skin.

Naruto then made a couple more hand signs before he blew out a basic fireball and was blocked with a basic water wall jutsu, but the effect was instantaneous, when the fireball hit the wall of water, it evaporated the water and turned it to mist, making no one being able to see.

Everyone that was watching fight all started shouting Naruto not to, but he ignored them as he walked into the mist. Many screams were heard, all being above the age of 9, so that helped ease their minds, kind of.

Naruto charged a shinobi, but vanished and appeared behind his opponents neck and slicing his head clean off. Blood splattered across his face, but he didn't care. He dodged an incoming sword strike and easily delivered his own, cutting the man's stomach open and using his head as a standing stool before making a couple more hand signs.

"Wind Style: Flying Wind Blades!" He whispered before he slashed his left arm in the air in different directions, each swipe would create a wind sword that would fly and kill anyone who was unlucky enough to be caught up in it. Naruto then made another wind jutsu, blowing away the mist, revealing a total of only 10 survivors.
