The Demons We Share. (Naruto Fanfiction)

#30

Naruto and I make as many shadow/crystal clones as we could in order to distract the enemy; as our clones were fighting and getting destroyed, the real Naruto and I hid behind a building. "I have a plan," I say, trying to catch my breath, "I take another blow of that beam, and you take them on from behind. They should have their back completely exposed if they use both their hands to create that laser."

Naruto quickly shakes his head, "no way!" He says, "I can tell your already low on chakra! Who knows if another direct hit like that can kill you!" I put a hand on his shoulder and give it a firm squeeze, "it won't," I say as I stare dead in his eyes. Naruto opened his mouth slightly to say something, but the sound of something exploding cut him off.

I point to the right and take a deep breath, "go," I say as I get back up on my feet and run down the alleyway to meet the bastard. "Hey!" I yell out, "over here, you piece of shit!" I hold up my forearms up to my face and bury my feet as deep as I can, the person quickly turns around, and I could see them charge up their attack.

I take a peek at my crystal blades and see they're cracked; this is the last impact they might be able to withstand, just maybe. The sudden push of the beam hitting against my blades slapped me back to reality, my feet were buried deep, but they were moving backward slowly.

I gritted my teeth and pushed against the force; that's when I finally stopped moving; now I need to wait for Naruto to take him down. I felt my legs start to shake the longer I stood my ground; my arms were beginning to sting more and more. I'm not going to stay standing for much longer if Naruto doesn't hurry up!

I yelped in pain as I feel my blade crack more; this sting was more unbearable than the first one! I then feel the ground tremble, and the beam started to disappear right in front of my eyes, almost like it was a mirage the whole time. I lower my arms once I can't see or feel it at all. Did Naruto do it?

I got my answer when a gust of wind knocked me down backward, "Rasengan!" I heard Naruto say, "Rasen WHO?" I said to myself. I lift my head a bit but slammed it back down to the ground as the enemy just barely flew over my whole body; they crashed into the building behind me.

"Natsuna!" Naruto says as I see him running towards me, "are you alive?!" I narrow my eyes at him and shoot my head up, "uh, yeah?" I say. But I'm too depleted of chakra even to do anything at the moment, "I'm just exhausted," I say.

Naruto grabs one of my arms and pulls me back up to my feet; he notices the vast cracks my blades have and all the burns I got on my hands; his worried face soon turned into a pained one. I open my mouth to say something but Naruto covers it with one hand, "don't," he says, "your going to say it's nothing, and it doesn't hurt. But I've known you for my whole life to know when your hiding it."

He turns his back to me and gets on one knee, "get on, I'm taking you to the nearest medic." Naruto then slightly turns to look back at me, "or I'm dragging you by force if you refuse," I blink a few times in shock. "Who...who are you?" I say, "you sound...responsible for once!"

Naruto glares at me and pouts, "I'm always responsible!" He says. I shake my head, "no, no, you are not, Naruto. You don't eat any vegetables or even check when your food is expired. You hardly do your laundry too!" Naruto quickly stands up and covers my mouth with both hands, "okay! Okay! I see your point." He says as he pouts, "don't expose me in front of the enemy!" Naruto then points at the unconscious person behind me.

I walked over and reached down to pull down their hood, but a gas bomb suddenly went off. Naruto and I started to cough like crazy, and we had no choice but to jump away to breathe; once the gas diminished, the body was gone. "Oh, great!" I say as I angrily slam my fist on my palm, "the enemy faked that they were unconscious!"
