"Naruto-kun, there are so many of them," Hinata whispered in terror.
"Don't worry, Hinata-chan. They are just regular thugs with no chakra at all. Also, I am here, aren't I?" Naruto comforted her by standing in front of her. The reassuring smile washed away gloomy clouds on her face.
Hinata looked at the childish shoulders of Naruto and gained back her confidence.
"Let's do it then, we have to protect the old man." Naruto shouted as he formed his favorite seal, "Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Hundreds of Naruto appeared all around and looked at the ever-approaching thugs with the myriad of weapons in hand. As Naruto was about to beat the shit out of them, Gato with a tattooed man appeared in front of them. The tattooed man was holding Tsunami and Inari, the daughter and grandson of the bridge builder Tazuna.
"Fuck!" Naruto cursed as he looked at the short man. "Let them be."
"I shall if you give me the old man," Gato smirked triumphantly. "It is my win, Konoha Shinobi! I hired two strong men after you defeated useless Zabuza and toyboy of his, and I abducted two hostages. Now, if this isn't a checkmate, what is?"
"I am sorry, Tazuna, but you have to go." Naruto looked at the old man with a sigh then moved him forward.
"I know." Tazuna sighed sadly, as he looked at his daughter and grandson. "I am sorry to cause you trouble, Inari, Tsunami."
"Dad!"
"Grandpa!"
"Don't cry." Tazuna smiled brightly. "This is not the end."
But both cried anyway. As Tazuna approached them slowly, one of the thugs approached to check his body before he let the old man approach their boss. Tazuna walked to the short boss at the forefront and looked down on him.
"You piece of shit. Now that you got me, let them go." Tazuna said with spits flying all over Gato's face.
"Not so fast. Let me kill you in front of them first." Gato smirked and pulled out a blade. He aimed at the old man's gut to kill him slowly and painfully. The blade moved, but before it could reach the target, a cloud of smoke covered the surrounding area, and in the next second, the tattooed man fell to the ground cold. Inari and Tsunami appeared near Hinata with another Naruto.
"What!?" Asked Gato in disbelief.
"You piece of shits think you can battle against Shinobi? How ludicrous." One of the Naruto's said and in the next second, all of them charged forward.

"Double Chidori, Ten thousand bird symphony!" Kakashi and I shouted together, as two hands covered with lightning pierced through Juzo. He looked at Kakashi and me in disbelief and tried to understand what had happened.
It wasn't that complicated really. Plan C was for the team to distract the enemies while Kakashi to assassinate them with Chidori. The distraction was mostly Naruto with his loud and flashy personality, while Hinata acting weak and vulnerable. Me depending on the situation.
But this plan was never made for Jounin-level opponents. Kakashi would never allow us to battle against a Jounin, let alone an Elite one. But since the situation forced us, Kakashi was willing to take the risk. When he was suggesting Plan C, he meant to be a distraction, but when I suggested Plan Double C with a glint in my eye, Kakashi, luckily, realized what I wanted to do, and went along with it.
Now, tricking an unexpected enemy is easy. At least relatively. But an enemy who had fallen on a trap once would be suspicious of his own shadow and would be almost impossible to trick them once again. Almost.
Still, I had all the advantages, while the enemy only knew I was good at cloning Jutsu to trick him. He still didn't know what else I was hiding under my sleeve. I know, overused, but isn't Inorganic Henge genius? It fucking is.
I don't know why they didn't use it anymore after Naruto got Zabuza with it, but all in all, it is one of the most useful Jutsu in all Anime. Might be nip and tuck with Harem Jutsu. I used it at the beginning of the battle too. When I first arrived, it was my clone. And the Kunai he threw and dodged by the enemy, that was the real me. The one Jozu was chasing after was a clone, and when Kakashi was in danger, I canceled the Henge and appeared behind the enemy.
Now, for plan C, there were few steps to be taken. First, distraction. It was easy. I folded the seals quickly while Kakashi finished his. His newly acquired Suiton: Water Dragon Jutsu appeared from his back and flew towards Juzo.
"Water technique against a Kiri nin, not wise at all." Smirked Juzo as he formed seals of his own. Surprisingly, he took control of the dragon and stopped its movement. Not to the level of sending it back, but it was still a feat to be proud of.
Next, my jutsu unleashed!
"Katon: Great Fire Annihilation"
Oh right, after the Uchiha Clan was destroyed thoroughly, and since there was no heir left, all the Jutsu interpolated into the Village Library. I seriously considered using the eyes in my inventory to claim the heritage of one of the founder clans, but in the end, logic prevailed.
Long story short, this majestic Jutsu was lying in the library for me to take. Not me per se, but I could ask Kakashi to teach me.
When Fire clashed with the stationary Water Dragon, vapor covered the area around Juzo. "Heh, what is this? Imitation of Hidden Mist?"
"I can feel your chakra, you know."
He could. Of course, he could. We were forming high-level Jutsu and it had an impact on the atmosphere. But that was the plan. In the next second, Kakashi appeared behind Juzo only to be countered by a sword. While I charged straight but since he turned to intercept Kakashi, I was on his back.
I did mention the greatest perk ever right. [Elemental Body]
Now, not only this perk allowed me to change the nature of my chakra while it was in my body, but it also allowed me to cover my body with it. It sounded average, I know. But why was it too hard to change the nature of the pure chakra Jutsu, such as Rasengan? Because it was tedious to change nature while forming the attack simultaneously. But did I need that?
My Chakra was already elemental, and it flowed as easily as pure Chakra. So, what would happen if I used elemental Chakra and used Rasengan?
Elemental Rasengan baby! What else?
"Fire Rasengan!" I shouted with gusto as I aimed at Juzo's back. He was still in a tug of war with Kakashi, and couldn't defend in a short time. The ever-spinning ball of fire approached Kiri-nin, but it never hit.
Calm down, it never meant to. You see, he could dodge this attack. This was a single layer of a great plan. A mere distraction. Remember the first step? This was it, the opening Jutsu of Water Dragon and Great Fire Annihilation were mere greetings.
Now for the next step, covering the enemy's eyes.
When the Fire Rasengan was about to hit Juzo, he used Body Replacement without any hand seals. But we were already expecting this, like I said, the Fire Rasengan didn't mean to arrive.
In the next second, I used Fire Flicker and blasted the tree branch I was standing on and appeared near Juzo. The fireball in my hand was about to dissipate, and Kakashi was still far away.
Juzo smirked as he approached. Remember Hinata's role? Baiting? Yeah, I was the bait this time. Although he wasn't sure, he was quite positive I have the big-ass sword he wanted. Kakashi was away, and I was in the open. He could kill me easily and gain his weapon back. Or, so he thought.
When he was in front of me, I let go of Fire Rasengan and started to fall back. The third step, hooking. Seeing my retreat, he was even more anxious and flickered behind me. But that was his last mistake. As soon as he did, two Chidori plunged deep into his chest. One from Kakashi, and the other from me. Mine was fake, it was just my hand covered with lightning, but it was still enough.
"A little fish pulled you to the den of sharks. And you die because of your greed. How stupid." I sighed as I looked at the character meant to die anyway.
