Chapter 19: Handling Old Friends

Plains outside Kumo

The thunderous sounds of clashes could be heard as two sannin and their genin companions engaged in a fierce battle in the plains. Tsunade slammed her kunai into Orochimaru's sword. Orochimaru blocked the attack as he slid back for the sheer power of the force that Tsunade packed into her weapon.

"Still as strong as ever Tsunade," Orochimaru said as he tried to withstand her attack. Tsunade chuckled as she pushed harder against his sword.

"Of course I am, I don't slack Orochi," Tsunade said to him. Orochimaru chuckled as he jumped back. Tsunade smiled as she ran back at him with her fist blazing with chakra. Tsunade moved too fast for Orochimaru too see a slammed him in the face. Tsunade sent Orochimaru's body into a nearby tree as she saw his body on the ground. Tsunade chuckled as she saw the body deteriorate into small snakes.

"Snake clone," Tsunade said as her eyes lit up. Orochimaru appeared behind her as he swung his sword at her neck. Tsunade pivoted her foot and side-stepped Orochimaru managing to dodge his weapon. Tsunade brought her heel into his side as she launched him into the air. Orochimaru chuckled as he backflipped and landed on his feet.

"Not bad Tsunade, much better than the last time," Orochimaru said to her. Tsunade smiled as her fist glowed with more chakra.

"Of course I am better than last time, now there are no doubts in my mind, I can concentrate fully on kicking your ass," Tsunade said to him. Orochimaru held out his hands and arched his back in laughter. He soon straightened up and smiled.

"And how can you hit me from that distance?" Orochimaru teased. Tsunade sighed.

"Who said anything about hitting you directly," Tsunade told him. Orochimaru's eyes widened as Tsunade punched the ground. Orochimaru saw a line cross his path in the dirt. Tsunade smiled as she put both hands into the space. Tsunade breathed easily.

"Okay, let's try it," Tsunade said as she pulled her hands apart as they gripped the earth. Orochimaru gasped as the line that crossed him opened to form a giant gorge in the ground. Orochimaru fell into the gorge as he saw Tsunade smirk at him.

"Got to act fast," Orochimaru said as he formed a handsign. Tsunade smiled as she pumped more chakra into her hands. Tsunade pushed herself as she tried to close to gorge with her hands.

"Doton: Nyūāsu no ka(Earth Style: Division of the New Earth)," Tsunade said as she completely closed the gorge tight. Tsunade smiled as she saw the plains with no Orochimaru.

"Okay how long will it take him to get out of there?" Tsunade wondered as waited for her snake friend to resurface.

"No way that jutsu would be the death of him. It would be nice if it did, but oh well," Tsunade said as she waited. Tsunade's mind wandered to her fiancee.

"I wonder how Naruto-koi is doing with his dance partner," Tsunade said to herself. Soon the ground shook violently as Tsunade snapped out of her thoughts.

"It seems I was right. You really don't go down easily. That's right, get back up here so I can kiss more of your snake loving ass," Tsunade said as she saw a giant snake come out of the ground with Orochimaru on its head. Tsunade smiled.

"So we are bringing summons into this huh, well you will have to wait for me to do that," Tsunade said as she ran at Orochimaru.

With Sasuke and Naruto

Sasuke and Naruto were exchanging blows as they skidded away from each other. Both smirked as they looked at the other.

"Well dobe it seems you got better," Sasuke told him. Naruto smirked.

"Seeing as how I can kiss your ass now, are you sure YOU aren't the dobe here?" Naruto asked, Sasuke's eyes narrowed at the insult.

"You will always be the dobe Naruto. You can't beat me," Sasuke said to him. Naruto laughed at his insult.

"It all depends how you view the world. You see from the world's view you will always be the strongest between us, but you and me know the truth. You know I can beat you," Naruto said to him. Sasuke gritted his teeth.

"Then prove it dobe," he said as he charged Naruto. Naruto sighed as he took out his kunai again. Naruto produced a strong current of wind chakra through the blade as the sharpness increased. Both clashed their weapons as they stared in each other's eyes. Both Sasuke struggled for supremacy, but was overcome by Naruto's strength. Naruto pushed Sasuke off his blade as he kicked Sasuke back. Sasuke gripped his stomach as he felt the power in Naruto's kick.

"Damn you dobe," Sasuke shouted in his thoughts. Sasuke did his handsigns as he opened his mouth.

"Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu," Sasuke said as he shot multiple fire bullets at Naruto. Naruto ran at the bullets as he tried to dodge each one. Naruto soon closed the gap between him and Sasuke. Naruto smiled.

"Fuuton:Nōshuku sa reta kaze no suraisu(Wind Style: Concentrated Wind Slice)," Naruto said as he swung his kunai at Sasuke. Sasuke managed to dodge the blow as he ducked under the blade. Sasuke felt a burst of wind pass him as Naruto flipped back. Sasuke smiled.

"What kind of jutsu is that dobe?" Sasuke asked with a grin. Naruto shook his head in disappointment. He pointed past Sasuke. Sasuke turned around as his eyes widened. Sasuke saw all the trees, and even a large piece of the mountain behind them like they had been cut through like it they were nothing. Sasuke gasped as he realized he could have died from the jutsu if he didn't duck. However his pride wouldn't allow him to say that.

"Hmph the dobe just got lucky," Sasuke said as he writhed in pain. He turned around to see Naruto kick him into the air. Naruto smiled.

"Stay focused on the fight Sasuke," Naruto said as he disappeared. Sasuke glanced to his right and left, but didn't see Naruto. He suddenly looked up to see Naruto high in the air. Naruto came down with his kunai blazing with wind chakra.

"Fuuton: Kazenokami no ha(Wind Style: Blade of the Wind God)," Naruto said as he brought his kunai down. Sasuke twisted his body as he barely dodged the blade of wind as Naruto crashed into the ground as dust hid his presence. Sasuke landed away from Naruto as he activated his sharingan.

"Now I can follow the dobe's movements and copy his jutsu," Sasuke said as the waited for the dust to settle. As the dust vanished, Sasuke looked to see that Naruto was gone and only a giant line was formed from his last attack. Sasuke looked around quickly.

"Damn, where is he?" Sasuke wondered. Sasuke felt a slash across his body as he saw blood drip from his shoulder.

"Blood?" Sasuke wondered as he got another cut. Sasuke looked around, but didn't see anything in the field. Sasuke moved his eyes around faster to find Naruto, but couldn't. Sasuke felt another cut hit his body as he saw white streaks of light pass him.

"What jutsu is this?" Sasuke wondered. Naruto smiled.

"This is my one of my original jutsu," Naruto said to him. As he appeared in front of Sasuke Sasuke jumped back and threw a kunai at Naruto. Naruto smiled as he disappeared before the kunai hit the mark. Naruto smiled as he passed Sasuke's body again as he gave him another cut. Sasuke cursed at his inability to follow Naruto's movements.

"Don't worry Sasuke, even with your sharingan you can't follow this, let's just saw I am as still as the air you breathe," Naruto said to him. Sasuke continued to look around, but still couldn't find Naruto. Naruto smiled as he added more chakra to his feet. Naruto disappeared as he cut Sasuke again and disappeared, but he soon came back with another cut and one after that. The time he took to get Sasuke was shortening as he continued his assault. Sasuke's body was covered in cut marks as his eyes flared up in anger.

"ENOUGH," Sasuke yelled as lighting coursed through his body. Soon the lighting cackled all over his body.

"Chidori Nagashi," Sasuke said as his lighting cackled around his open space. Naruto smiled.

"You seem to forget that wind is strong against lightning, not that it matters now," Naruto said as he charged Sasuke one more time.

"Fuuton: Shizukana kaze no surasshu(Wind Style: Slash of Silent Wind)," Naruto said as passed Sasuke's lighting current and delivered a final slash of wind to Sasuke's side. Sasuke fell to the ground in pain as he gripped his side. He felt some of his blood seep out of his side as it stained the grass.

"Still wanna continue Sasuke?" Naruto asked. Sasuke clutched the group.

"I will kill you, to die by you is not my destiny, the fact that my blood was spilled by you is appalling, I WILL KILL YOU DOBE," Sasuke yelled in his thoughts. Soon his curse mark enveloped his body. Sasuke's skin turned dark, his hair grew longer, and out his back came his wings. Naruto smiled.

"So finally using the curse mark?" Naruto asked. Sasuke grinned.

"You stand no chance against me now dobe," Sasuke said to him.

"I am still more special than you," Sasuke told him. Naruto smiled he entered his thoughts.

"Say Hina-chan, may I have some of your chakra?" Naruto asked his bijuu. Hina sat in the field of flowers as she smiled.

"Why yes Naru-kun, have some and kick the emo's ass," Hina said to him. Naruto nodded.

"Thank you Hina-chan," Naruto said as his Kyuubi coat formed around him. The coat covered Naruto's body as his eyes turned to slits, his whiskers became more visible and his teeth became more sharp. Soon a tail of red chakra swayed behind him.

"Well Sasuke, back where we started, only this time, you emo ass is getting kicked," Naruto told him. Sasuke grinned.

"Bring it dobe," Sasuke said to him. Both charged the other as the collied causing a big explosion.

With Tsunade and Orochimaru

Both sannin were breathing quite hard as they both had the cuts and bruises to be a little tired. Orochimaru smiled as he looked at Tsunade huffing a little.

"Getting tired Tsunade?" Orochimaru asked. Tsunade smiled. As she channeled chakra to her feet and sped in front of him.

"Not in the least, I don't know about you, but I feel like I could conquer to world right now," Tsunade said as she punched Orochimaru in the face sending him into a nearby tree. Orochimaru gasped as he landed off the tree.

"How can she have so much power after so much fighting, I am almost at my limit, and yet she doesn't even look winded," Orochimaru said to himself. Tsunade instantly appeared in front of Orochimaru and smiled.

If your wondering why I am not tired like you, it is because of my jutsu here, it also minimizes fatigue. Oh isn't medical ninjutsu fascinating?" Tsunade said as she brushed her hand through her blond hair. Orochimaru seethed.

"I guess we take this to the big league," Orochimaru said as he bit his thumb. Tsunade smiled as she backed up she also bit her thumb.

With Naruto and Sasuke

Both were downright even as Sasuke's futile attempts at hitting Naruto ended in his despair. Naruto smiled as he knew he was still holding much back. Sasuke decided to take this fight further.

"Time to use it," He said to himself as he bit his thumb. Naruto smiled as he saw what Sasuke did.

"Oh were taking it 'there' huh Sasuke," Naruto said as he bit his thumb.

All for people bit their thumbs and placed them on the ground and yelled.

"KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU," they all yelled as smoke enveloped the entire area. Orochimaru stood on Manda. Tsunade stood on Katsuyu. Naruto stood on Gamabunta and Sasuke stood on a hawk named Kiraki. Tsunade turned to see Naruto on Gamabunta. She yelled for him.

"Oh Naruto-koi you thought about the summoning jutsu also," Tsunade yelled. Naruto chuckled.

"Great minds think alike," Naruto told her. Both smiled as they turned back to their respective fights.

"Now Orochimaru-," Tsunade said.

"Now Sasuke-," Naruto said. Both faces lit up as they charged them.

"Prepare to have your ass handed to you," They both said. Tsunade smiled.

"Katsuyu let's get started," Tsunade told her summon.

"Yes Tsunade-sama," Katsuyu answered. Tsunade jumped off Katsuyu and got started. Meanwhile Orochimaru was speaking with his summon.

"What is it now Orochimaru?" Manda asked. Orochimaru smiled.

"I would like you to deal with a troublesome sannin," Orochimaru said pointing to at Tsunade. Manda sighed.

"Her again?" he asked. Orochimaru nodded. Manda sighed again.

"You owe me 10,000 human sacrifices this time," Manda ordered. Orochimaru nodded.

"Time to get started," Manda said to Orochimaru. Orochimaru began. Tsunade began.

"Manda-,"

Katsuyu-,"

"Manda Daibunretsu(Snake Great Division),"

"Katsuyu Daibunretsu(Slug Great Division),"

They both yelled as their summons did as they wanted. Both digressed into smaller clones of themselves and shot themselves forward at the other. Soon they both collied at battle for supremacy as they pushed each other in a clash. Katsuyu managed to overpower Manda as she slammed into him covering him in her smaller clones. Manda swayed as he managed to shake her off him.

"Hmph still the little firecracker eh Katsuyu?" Manda asked.

"I will serve my summoner, you won't beat me Manda," Katsuyu answered. Tsunade smiled.

"Nicely said Katsuyu, now let's continue," Tsunade said to her. Katsuyu nodded. Manda shot forward at an attempt to get Tsunade. Tsunade smirked.

"Zesshi Nensan(Acid Slime)," Tsunade called out. Katsuyu nodded as she brought her head back and unleashed a ball of acidic slime at Manda. Manda easily swayed around it and continued at full speed towards Tsunade. Tsunade was about to attack when a voice called out to her.

"Hime get back," said the voice. Tsunade backflipped as she saw Naruto landed in front of her with Gamabunta. Tsunade smiled.

"My prince is here," Tsunade said to herself. Tsunade looked over to where Naruto previously was to see and unconscious Sasuke on the ground. Tsunade chuckled at the sight. She turned back to see Naruto do some handsigns.

"Gamabunta give me a lot of water," Naruto told him. Gamabunta nodded.

"Right Gaki,"He said as he filled his stomach with water. Naruto smiled as he finished his handsigns. Before Gamabunta shot his water out, Naruto said his jutsu.

"Fuuton: Kaze no Atsuryoku(Wind Style: Wind Pressure Blast)," Naruto yelled as he blew fierce wind from his mouth as it collied with Bunta's water. The wind cooled the water as it turned to ice. The ice shot forward as it hit Manda and sent him flying into the plains with a loud crash. Naruto smiled as he looked at Tsunade.

"You alright Hime?" He asked. Tsunade smiled.

"Just peachy Fox-sama," Tsunade said to him. Naruto nodded as he turned back to Manda and Orochimaru. Manda was freezing as his body was covered in ice. Orochimaru cursed.

"Dammit, that brat knew Manda is a reptile and reptiles don't do well against the cold," Orochimaru said. Manda cursed also.

"D-Damn G-Gaki, Orochimaru your on your own, I need to get some heat back," Manda said as he vanished. Orochimaru seethed.

"To think these two would be so much trouble, I have to go, I am low on chakra, oh well I found a more suitable body than the Uchiha," Orochimaru said as he vanished. Naruto sighed as he saw Orochimaru leave.

"Gamabunta you can go back, thank you," Naruto told him. Gamabunta nodded.

"Sure kid, I had fun," he said as he left. Katsuyu left also. Tsunade walked up to Naruto.

"Thanks for the save Naruto-koi," Tsunade said as she gave him a quick kiss. Naruto blushed.

"All in a day's work hime, now let's get out arrogant captive to Iwa," Naruto said to her. Tsunade nodded. Both went to get the unconscious Uchiha as they tied him up and put a chakra restriction seal on him. Naruto and Tsunade walked off.

"You know I heard Orochimaru, apparently my body is more interesting than Sasuke's," Naruto said to her. Tsunade laughed.

"I would like to see him try and take it, that body is mine," Tsunade said to him. Naruto nodded as they two ran back to Iwa.

"Wouldn't have it any other way hime," Naruto thought to himself.
