Forest of Death

Orochimaru lunged at them, two other ninja tailing him, who had jumped out from behind the bushes. (Both characters canon)

In a second, it went from a one to two fight to a two against three.

Without a moment's hesitation, the duo, Karaki, started their counterattack. The two of them stood naturally, and their forms flickered in the blink of an eye. Naruto and Sasuke disappearing from view.

With one swift, clean blow to the back fo their necks, Naruto and Sasuke rendered the two attackers unconscious. Both lowered their arms at they turned to their last opponent.

Orochimaru just laughed, a sullen laughter filled with malice."Oh~"

He hissed with a sadistic smile plastered on his face. "I won't be as weak as they were..." And without a warning, he lunged for Sasuke and Naruto. His arms were at his sides, palms facing them and his fingers bent like claws.

Orochimaru slashed his hand in front of him as fast and smoothly as a snake would. The two genin leapt back at least four foot.

Orochimaru pulled out two shuriken on one hand and two kunai on the other. He then ran at Naruto and Sasuke, gaining speed with each step. With a flick of his wrist,  threw the shuriken and kunai at the pair with shockingly fast and precise aim.

Sausuke, blocked both shuriken with a kunai he had slipped out his pouch. The two kunai were plucked out of the air and were returned to Orochimaru, with added power.

Orochimaru easily dodged the two kunai,which found a new home in the bark of a tree over three hundred yards away. (The trees were large in this forest)

The two parties stood silently as they soaked each other's presence in. Then they charged at each other - full speed - and became a blur of kunai, fists, and kicks.

Two against one should have held a high advantage over Orochimaru, but the snake time and time again slipped out of their way as they attacked. He was nearly impossible to hit without using any jutsus.

Sasuke further engaged in combat covered for his teammate as he took a short break from the quarrel.

After being a safe distance away he held his hands up in his familiar shadow clone jutsu handsign. All at once, ten clones of Naruto joined in on the fight. Sasuke leaped out of there, and landed next to Naruto, in a crouched position with one hand on the ground and a kunai in the other.

"How about we do that thing with the water and lighting?"Naruto asked.

Sasuke stood up and just stared forward as well, observing the fight of the many Narutos and Orochimaru. Multiple clones had already been taken out. Naruto took the time to make about ten more.

"Well, let's try it. On your mark." Sasuke replied.

The two split up, running in opposite directions. Sasuke leapt into the air as Naruto charged at either side of Orochimaru.

Just as the last clone was dispelled, Orochimaru saw the two young ninja weaving hand signs as they headed straight at him.

Sasuke attacked from above, speeding like a rocket from the boost from taking off from a tree. His feet faced, threatening to kick Orochimaru un the face. (Think a Sasuke squatting with a leg out but falling down.) Naruto stayed low to the ground.

Simultaneously, the two announced their jutsus.(cliché sorry)

"Water style : Water Dragon Jutsu!" Naruto yelled.
"Lighting style : Shockwave!" Sasuke said with less energy than Naruto.
