Naruto & Gohan: Legends Will Rise

Chapter 19: Nami no Kuni Mission: Defend the Bridge Builder Part 7!

Naruto rolled to the side, barely avoiding a small water missile from the puddle, not expecting the missile to become his enemy, man toned boy around his age with straight white hair, purple eyes, and extremely sharp teeth, formed into a large grin as he brought one of his swords in a slash towards Naruto, electricity sparking around the blade. Naruto used one of his kunai to deflect the blade from piercing his heart, but the jolt from the electricity still caused him to jump back.

'Damn.' Naruto looked back to the puddle, where there was another copy of the man, 'One of them is a clone.' Naruto realised as he surveyed the area. He sent out a large pulse of chakra, hoping that at least one of his friends would feel it and come to his aid, he just needed to last long enough for them to reach him.

"Your friends are too far away. They won't reach you in time." The swordsman said, "Now you'll fall to the apprentice Swordsman of the Mist, Suigetsu Hozuki." Suigetsu grinned ferally again, "And my sempai has ordered me to defeat you."

"Well my brother ordered me not to die, and I don't break promises." Naruto grinned and threw a kunai towards the Suigetsu that had attacked him, then went through a few hand seals he hadn't used in a while. Suigetsu moved out of the way, but with a puff of smoke Naruto had swapped places with the kunai and delivered a powerful kick to Suigetsu, causing him to turn into a puddle of water.

"Just like I thought, a Mizu Bunshin." Naruto smirked, then spun as the real Suigetsu slashed at him in a X-formation, Naruto formed a hand seal, "Taiju Kage Bunshin!" He shouted, making three hundred clones, then Naruto spun a few more hand signs, "Taiju Kage Bunshin!" He shouted again, making three hundred more clones.

"A bunch of useless clones won't stop me!" Suigetsu laughed, slashing through a group of clones, all of which exploded into miniature tornados, ripping Suigetsu's clothing to shreds, leaving him with just his black pants in tatters.

"Maybe if they were just normal clones, but these are my two special clones techniques, Fuuton: Kage Bunshin, and Raiton: Kage Bunshin." Naruto smirked, "And have fun using those lightning swords anymore." Suigetsu looked to his blades and saw that the lightning surrounding them was barely there anymore, and he'd have to push more chakra into them to reactivate it, but then the clones made of wind would just deactivate it once again.

Suigetsu growled, "Suiton: Suiryuudan!" Suigetsu made a gigantic water dragon and it flew towards the horde of Naruto, destroying many, but the combination of the small tornados, and the discharges of electricity caused a massive tornado filled with storm clouds. Suigetsu looked at the sparks that flew off the massive chakra construct and decided that retreat was his best option. He turned to run when a kunai embedded itself in his leg.

"Not so fast." Kiba said with a smirk, Akamaru stood ready for a fight by his knees.

"Naruto-kun, are you alright?" Hinata asked, she stood to the left of Kiba, her Byakugan boring holes into Suigetsu.

Shino stood silently beside Kiba to the right, hands in his pockets and feet bouncing.

"Good job flaring your chakra to let us find you Naruto." Kurenai said. She stood behind her team, a smile on her face, "Team 8, cover Naruto Uzumaki." She commanded.

"Gatsuga!" Kiba and Akamaru each became a small tornado and flew at the missing-nin, who made himself into a puddle of water right before he would have been bored through.

"Hijutsu: Mushi Dama." Shino said quietly, a large sphere of kikaichu leaving his sleeves and flying towards the puddle that is Suigetsu. As the sphere approached Suigetsu reformed and jumped away.

"Raiton: Raikyu!" Suigetsu threw a ball of lightning at the sphere of beetles, causing them to scatter and fly back to Shino, though a few hadn't made it back.
