The Fox's Son

Chapter 63 - The Battle Rages On!

"Any suggestions?" Naruto said as Gamakichi landed.

The oil began to burn out as the flames began to die down, revealing Naraku's slightly cracked exoskeleton. Naruto sweat dropped at the light damage their attack did to him. 'So much for that....' he muttered to himself as he waited for his long time friend's answer.

"Don't look at me blondie, my clan has never really had any confrontations with the spider clan, though, the snakes did." he said.

"Gamakichi, watch-" Naruto started it was too late.

Naraku's fifth leg had rushed out in a fit of rage, swiping the toad along his side, leaving a jagged gash. Gamakichi cursed as he leapt back, clutching his bleeding side. "Dammit, bro. I swear if we make it out of this, I will kill you myself." he grunted as he glared at the spider.

Naruto sighed before his eyes widened at what the spider began to do. Naraku's mouth opened as massive ball of miasma began to form at it's center. Naruto and Gamakichi suddenly began having flashbacks of their fight with Shikaku. Narrowing his eyes, Gamakichi prepared to jump.

"HOLD ON!" the toad yelled as he leapt straight into the air just as Naraku released his ball of concentrated miasma.

The earth seemed to corrode and die as he miasma passed over it. Attempting to catch them off guard, Naraku lifted himself up. Taking a deep breath, a huge stream of spider webbing shot out of his mouth, heading straight for the toad and former ninja. Naruto narrowed his eyes as he saw this. Releasing his hold off of the toad, Naruto jumped off of Gamakichi's head.

"NARUTO!" Gamakichi cried out worriedly as the red head fell toward the web.

Taking a deep breath, Naruto began to spew blue fire from his mouth like a water hose. The sprout of fire clashed into the webs, burning them instantly. Naraku's eyes widened as the webs fell to the blazing blue fire. Flying through the fire with his arm cocked back, Naruto gathered his chakra at his fist as he fell to the fast momentum of gravity. Before he had time to react, Naraku felt Naruto's fist connect to his face, sending him plummeting into the ground.

The punch released a sonic boom as it hit the hanyou, sending him crashing into the ground, leaving a large crater on impact. Still disoriented from the punch, Naraku could only watch as a large bright ball of blue energy formed in the man's hands as he descended upon. He looked at the ball in both fear and awe of the mere power of it. He didn't know if he would survive could survive such an attack. He tried to create a barrier to protect himself. Keyword tried.

"RASENGAN!!!!!" he yelled as he slammed his hand down into Naraku's chest, causing the hanyou to cough up blood.

Several loud cracks and crunches resounded as the ground continued to give way beneath him. Smoke came from his body as a hole the size of a soccer ball was torn into his stomach. Naruto disappeared in a yellow flash from the giant crater. He reappeared beside Gamakichi who was groaning as he picked himself up from his fall to the ground. He was still holding his wound when Naruto appeared beside him.

"Yeah," Gamakichi grunted. "If this bastard doesn't kill you, I sure as hell will, Uzumaki." he said as he leaned on his blade for support.

Naruto frowned. Ignoring the toad's comment, he inspected his wound. The gash seemed to be stretching, causing him to lose more blood. Naruto knew that the longer he stayed here, the more blood he would lose and the chance of him getting an infection grows. After looking over his wound, he walked back in front of his old friend. He gave Gamakichi a sad smile, catching the toad by surprise.

"I think you should go home now, Gamakichi. The more blood you lose from your wound, the higher the chance of you dying in battle. Plus, you are at risk of infection the longer you go on with you wound unattended." Naruto said.
