87 Promise. (3)

Naruto: "Yeah! That's right! Prepare to pay for what you guys did to Granny Tsunade! Everyone else, go take care of the injured sensei! I'll take of care of these two chumps my-"

Before Naruto could even finish his sentence, Tsunade, who being healed in a corner of the tea shop got and shouted furiously:

"Naruto! Shut up and leave while you can! Watching you fight them would be like me watching you go to your death! It's not worth it!"

Naruto: "Granny Tsunade...you're telling me to run away...? DON'T TELL ME YOU FORGOT WHAT HE DID TO THE PERVY SAGE!!"

Tsunade: "Naruto this is not-"

The young man then folded his fists and put his hands up to his chest with a resolved look on his face, staring at Tsunade unwaveringly. The rest of the Konoha 11 who were with also wore a resolved look. Although all of them we weren't looking forward to meeting Tendo again, every one of them was there, prepared to pay Tendo back for all the atrocities he had committed against the village.

Naruto: "Sakura, Sai, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Neji, Lee, Tenten, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino. All of us are here, prepared to defend our village to the best of our ability and we have no intention of backing down, no matter what you say. Granny Tsunade, we promise that we will defeat them! This is our Nindo, our ninja way!!" {Cue inspirational Naruto music.}

Tsunade was speechless when she heard Naruto's words. For some reason, that boy had always inspired her to go beyond her limits and risk everything when she had been defeated. She sat down next to the healers once again and ordered them to continue healing her as she prepared to fight once more.

Naruto: "W-what the, G-granny Tsunade, look..."

Naruto pointed at the healers who were still standing next to her and as she looked up, she covered her mouth in panic, immediately jumping away from the spot frantically. All three of the healers who were just alive next to her were suddenly beheaded but they were still standing there. Their bodies had now begun to fall one by one as she saw them but the important question was simply, 'When?'.

Three open mouthed-heads dangled in Kaguya's hands as looked at the panicked Tsunade with a smile on her face.

Kaguya: "Did you really think I would've stood here and watched you talk while we're in the middle of a battle? Did you really think I would allow you to be healed? Tendo was right, you really are nothing."

Tsunade clicked her tongue in anger as a slight sense of despair was starting to creep up on her. Kaguya then turned to Naruto and the rest of the Konoha 11, most of them inwardly freaked at the fact that no one saw the woman even move as she beheaded three Anbu Black Ops. She threw the heads outside of the shop and started walking slowly towards them, every step of hers sent a chill down their spines as she got closer.

Kaguya: "Little Naruto, you remind of someone really close to me and because of that, you will be handled accordingly. As for the rest of you, by the time I'm done talking, I will attack. So I would advise you to run or be prepared."

As she promised, Kaguya immediately flickered into a random member of the Konoha 11, which happened to be Choji. His body didn't even have time to react before he found himself being thrown down and battered continuously with multiple blows, each one blocking the chakra point it came in contact with. He tried to use a substitution jutsu to get away but, as one would expect, it was unsuccessful. When the others finally realized what was going on, they all attacked Kaguya immediately, including Naruto.

Ino stayed back in an effort to incapacitate Kaguya and open her up for attacks, but since the time she invaded Tendo's mind, she always had a bit of hesitation before she did so. The only problem was, Kaguya was too fast for her to lock on to. Neji tried to attack Kaguya with his gentle fist while she was basically killing Choji but she quickly sensed it and leaned her body to the side, making the slightest of movements. She then grabbed his arm, elbowed him in the stomach causing to reflexively flinch forward, and then backhanded him to his forehead, causing a massive amount of blood to spill out.

Kaguya: 'They have the byakugan but these people barely use it well. What a disappointment.'

Kaguya then kicked Choji away and grabbed Neji by the throat before he could fall down, tossing him towards an incoming fang over fang that Kiba was trying to land on her while she was seemingly distracted.

Kiba: 'Damn!'

Kiba couldn't stop his attack because it was so close and he ended up hitting Neji square on, causing him to spit out even more blood as his injuries increased. As Kaguya was about to attack her next target, Lee came to her and started sending multiple quick attacks her way which she dodged with ease. Hinata and Sakura also joined in on the close-range combat, hoping to pressure Kaguya enough so that she would make a mistake. Naruto then jumped in with multiple clones and started attacking, increasing the number of blows she had to dodge even more.

Kaguya: 'Hm, compared to Tendo's rough training, this is nothing. All of them are so out of rhythm that it's just embarrassing. Sigh.'

She wasn't the only one that noticed this. Shikamaru who was waiting for a chance to capture her with the shadow possession jutsu, Sai, who was waiting to launch his sealing jutsu and Shino, who was slowly trying to send his insects towards both her Tendo all noticed it. Tenten had her weapons in her hands and was waiting for a chance to fight but it never came. She too then slowly came to a realization.

Kaguya was intentionally preventing them from attacking by using their teammates as shields. With every dodge, she slowly guided them into the attack lanes of the long-range Shinobi, causing them to basically be incapable of helping in the assault. That was a testament to her skill. The most terrifying part is that even though so many high-level shinobi are attacking her, she found ways to whittle them down with fast strikes between dodges. Naruto was out of clones and charged her quickly, guessing that now she should be running out of stamina.

But he was completely and utterly wrong. Kaguya's stamina was basically limitless when the two Zetsu's were attached to her. She did a brutal palm strike to Sakura's face, causing her to fly backward with great force and turned around immediately, delivering a roundhouse kick to Naruto's face. As she turned her attention back to the attackers, she heard a slight 'poof' sound. Knowing that it was a shadow clone, she turned around once again to see Naruto charging at Tendo with a Rasengan in his hands. Immediately she got furious and stepped out of the circle of attackers to chase after him as attacking Tendo was something she could not tolerate.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared out of nowhere and caught her shadow, stopping her from moving entirely.

Shikamaru: "Got her! Now, everyone finish her off with your most powerful attacks!!"

Naruto: "Take this Tendo! Rasengan!"

Tendo saw all of this happening and he just gave a small sigh.

Tendo: 'She got angry again and made a mistake. Well, it's no matter, they can't 'kill' her no matter how hard they try. But, I've grown tired of all this lengthy battle, it's time to end it. Omoikane.'
