The Tragedy of Naruto Uzumaki: A Naruto Fanfiction

Chapter 8: Avengers Vs. Missing Nin

Tazuna glanced at Naruto and Sasuke, who were walking about ten feet in front of the group, suspiciously and with just a pinch of fear. He had overheard the conversation while he waited in the hallway, and he didn't know too much about how villages ran, but it was obvious that the two boys had threatened their superior. 

Now, whether it was arrogance or truth, Tazuna did not know, nor did he personally want to find out. He just wanted to get home safely and finish his bridge. 

Up ahead, the boys were quietly whispering to one another. 

". . .so during the Chunin Exams? Why during that time?" Sasuke whispered curiously, not bothering to look at the blonde next to him for it would make them look suspicious if they talked quietly while looking at each other. 

"Because, that way we can surprise the old man and get promoted. A true ninja never reveals their true power, for to do so would be detrimental to the mission and can lead to the opponent figuring you out and find ways to beat you." Naruto said as he saw a small puddle in the distance, a small twinge of chakra radiating off of it. 

"Sasuke," Naruto spoke as he stopped walking, causing Sasuke to stop walking as well as he narrowed his eyes, seeing the puddle as well as his eyes slowly shifted into the Sharingan. 

"I see it," He whispered as he felt Naruto slowly put his hand upon his shoulder and Naruto let out a small grunt as his own blue eyes shifted into his own red two-comma Sharingan, clearly seeing the chakra emitting off of the puddle in the distance. 

He turned to the rest of the team, who were surprised at the change in his eyes but he quickly put a finger to his lips, silencing any questions for now. He pointed to the puddle, making Kakashi squint at it and he sighed, rubbing his cheek through his mask as he nodded and approached Tazuna and the two began whispering. 

"Naruto! Let's go!" Sasuke shouted as the two ran towards the puddle, Naruto hurling kunai at the said puddle and Sasuke making a few rapid hand signs as he suddenly blew out a fireball that was heading towards the puddle but two figures dressed in black and completely decked out with metal, including a clawed gauntlet on each of them with chains connected to the gauntlets, ready to shoot at a moments notice. 

"You get the left, I'll get the right!" Sasuke nodded as he dashed left and slammed his kunai into the man's metal claws, a smirk plastered upon the Uchiha's face. 

"You're in over your head greenhorn," The Mist Ninja whispered as he slowly applied pressure to his gauntlet, getting Sasuke to back up a little bit, but the smirk never disappeared. 

"No, I'm right where I'm supposed to be!" He shouted, a splitting grin appearing on his face as he jumped up in the air and made only two hand signs. 

"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" He shouted as several small balls of flames came down upon the Mist Ninja, Gozu, who quickly made his own set of hand signs and slammed his hand into the ground, causing a thin layer of earth to sprout from the ground. 

He smirked as he felt the flames disappear on the earth he had created before he felt a small stabbing sensation in his legs before he felt his leg slowly burn from within, making him scream in agony as Sasuke stood over the shinobi. 

"You fell for it. Whatever, it won't kill you, but you won't be able to walk without a cane again, that I can guarantee." He glanced at the wall made of earth and with one swift kick, he made it crumple back down to its original form. "You're pathetic, Gozu of the Demon Brothers, I expected more of a C-Rank criminal." 

Naruto, Same Time

Naruto jumped in the air, spinning a little as he flung several kunai of different color at the Mist Shinobi, Meizu. The kunai missed their intended target each time, making Meizu laugh a little.
