Nothing Special

Chapter 60

The blast hit them and they all managed to survive it, not hiding in the bushes on the other side of a newly formed crater.

" Byakugan!" Neji said. " There's no question this time. I can see them, a pair, 52 degrees to the southwest. 12 degrees southeast, another three. Eight degrees to the southeast, one. And 24 degrees to the northwest, 11." They left the bushes and began to take out the opponents. Aceso slashed at her opponent, but nothing happened, turned out to be a stump.

" Somebody help me, please?" Rock Lee called out in a panic.

" Huh?" Aceso asked as she looked, his foot was caught in a strap as he hung upside down. " The-the enemy has disappeared!" Then lightning spread throughout the ground and electrocuted all of them.

" Ah!" Aceso breathed as she flew back and went unconscious. A few minutes later, Aceso finally began to ship, she opened her eyes, and she looked up to see a man fighting with Lee, he was holding a stick with his hands, another with his feet, and he was in a weird position. She heard someone yelp. she looked to the side to see Naruto falling onto his face. She looked back forward at the two fighters, she squinted to see that Lee was still unconscious. 

" You guys, where are you?" Naruto called out.

" Right here," Aceso breathed as she pushed herself up on her elbows. Naruto crawled over to her fast as quickly as possible.

" Do-do you think he knows Zabuza?" Aceso asked as they gained back some of their strength.

" Only one way to find out," Naruto answered. " I will do the fighting, you do the healing."

" On it," Aceso agreed. As they started to get back on their feet.

" Raiga, shift position," a little boy (Ranmaru) called out as Neji stood up. The voice sounded young.

" That voice, where is it coming from?" Neji asked. The man jumped over Lee, and he went forward and sent a kick.

" Raiga!" a voice cried out as a pouch went flying out.

" Ranmaru!" Raiga cried out.

" Neji," Tenten breathed as she ran over and stood next to him.

" Ranmaru," Raiga breathed as he began to walk over as Lee fell on him. " Get off!" He shoved Lee onto the ground.

" That is so bizarre," Lee stated as he opened his eyes. " I was just dreaming that I was in battle." He pushed himself up. " Ah!" He fell back down in pain.

" Ranmaru?" Raiga asked as he looked around. He looked back at Lee angrily. " You little-" He went to go strike but Naruto kicked him out of the way and Aceso went to Lee's side. 

" All right, Pal, now you're dealing with me," Naruto warned as Aceso took out ointment.

" Naruto," Lee breathed weakly. 

" You filthy little brat," Raiga growled as he stood up with his weapons.

" Hey, I've got something I wanna ask you," Naruto brought up. " Word is you're one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen from the Hidden Mist."

" So what if I was?" Raiga asked.

" You know Zabuza, right?" Naruto asked as Aceso did what she needed to do. " And a big guy by the name of Kisame?"

" Look, I have nothing but loathing for those two," Raiga informed. " You'll have to forgive me if I don't feel like reminiscing." He launched forward. " And I'm not too hot on you!"

" And then I'll just have to beat the answers out of you!" Naruto insisted as he went head to head with Raiga. They jumped in the air, their knives and weapons clung a couple of times, before Naruto puffed out.
