The Sunset Showdown

"You look rather nice in your new clothes, Naruto-kun" Naruto grinned widely, however his smile immediately dropped when he paused and turned to see three boys around Ayame's age were following them.

"What do you want?" Naruto growled. The boys chuckled at the tone of voice the smaller boy had used.

"Oooo, scary. We just want to talk with Ayame-chan is all?" The brown haired girl sighed before face-palming.

"Roy, I've told you no at least one thousand times already. I will NOT go on a date with you" the ramen server said.

"Oh come on, Ayame-chan. Where else in all of Fiore are you going to find such a catch worthy of your beauty" the brown haired boy, identified as Roy, said with a pompous grin on his face. The boy was wearing rather nice clothes, so Naruto came to the conclusion that he was a spoiled little rich boy...just like the other two boys who stood beside him. Ayame growled at Roy before taking Naruto's hand.

"Come on, Naruto-kun. I have to show around town some more" Ayame said as she turned and walked off with the young dragonslayer. Naruto looked back slightly and grinned at the surprised looks on the three boys' faces. However, he sniffed the air and sensed the anger coming off the boy...Naruto would stay for a while more with his new friend before going back to his father.

After a few more hours of Ayame showing Naruto around Clover Town. They had went to the flower shop, Yamanaka's Flower Shop where Naruto met a friend of that Sakura girl's, Ino. She was a girl with platinum blonde hair, sky blue eyes and seemed to have a tomboyish attitude.

He also met two of Ino's friends, Chouji Akimichi and Shikamaru Nara who he was on rather good terms with since they didn't annoy him. After making his new acquaintances, the young ramen server decided to show Naruto the last area on her tour.

....

Central Park-Clover Town

"Welcome to Central Park" she said with a happy tone. Naruto gazed in awe at the sight and the fact that it was sunset, enhanced the effect the light had on the area. The park was very spacious and was about as large Acnologia in terms of length. Lush, green grass covered the area with a few large trees here and there.

Not as large as the ones in the mountains where he and Acnologia lived, but large nonetheless. There was a large pond where a family of ducks were now about to walk out of. The mixture of oranges, reds and purples from the sky reflected off of the water's surface and Naruto could only stare, no words could describe the scene before him.

"This is really cool, Ayame nee-chan" Naruto said.

"Nee-chan?" the brown haired girl questioned. Naruto turned to the girl and nodded.

"Uh huh. That IS what people call girls they see as sisters, right?" he asked innocently. Ayame giggled at the blonde and ruffled his hair.

"Of course, Naruto-kun and you're going to be a good little brother right?" Naruto nodded before his ears twitched and the wind shifted allowing for him to get a grasp of the scent.

"COME OUT...I KNOW YOU'RE THERE!" Naruto yelled. Ayame looked confused until she saw Roy and his two friends walk out from behind a nearby tree.

"You just can't take a rejection, can you teme?" Roy narrowed his eyes at the dragonslayer's insult before looking at Ayame.

"Come on, Ayame...just give me a chance" Ayame shook her head.

"No means no, Roy. Why can't you just go find someone else to chase?" Roy gritted his teeth as he was rejected for the umpteenth time.

"I didn't want to do this...but you leave me no choice" Roy said softly.

"Huh?" Ayame was suddenly tackled to the ground and her arms and legs were being held down by Roy's two friends.

"Nee-chan!" Naruto gasped only to see Roy smirking at the downed girl.

"Now then...if you don't go on a date with me, I'll make you watch as I beat the living hell out of the gaki" Roy said. Ayame's eyes widened.

"WHAT THE FUCK?" she said, her grandfather often used the phrase when he was angry or confused and right now...Ayame was angry, "WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU? AND BESIDES, THAT MAKES NO SENSE, IT MAKES ME LESS ATTRACTED TO YOU KNOWING THAT YOU WOULD ASSAULT A CHILD IN ORDER TO GET ME TO GO OUT WITH YOU?"

Roy's eye twitched and his fists clenched in annoyance at the girl's outburst.

"Urasai...I really need to punch something now" the boy settled his gaze of the dragonslayer of the Apocalypse and cracked his knuckles. Naruto got into a basic fighting stance that Acnologia had taught him. His right leg was placed ahead of his left, knees bent and he held his arms out in the same fashion as his legs. His fingers were bent such that his sharpened nails were pointing towards his opponent.

"I'd like to see you try, teme" Naruto said. Roy crackled his knuckles once more before lashing out with a punch towards the shorter boy. Naruto coughed as the punched hit him straight in the stomach before he was grabbed and slammed on the ground. Roy walked over and repeatedly kicked Naruto in the stomach. The six year old grunted with each kick before he was raised up.

Roy then dropped the boy and was caught in midair by a strong kick to the chest. Naruto flipped in the air from the attack, but just as he was about to touch the ground, he extended his hand and skidded along the ground and allowed his body to land on its feet. Naruto chuckled before looking up at his opponent, his round pupils now vertical slits.

"That all you got, teme?"

"Naruto..there will be times when you will come across opponents that are much larger than you. In order to beat them you must wear them out..."

Naruto twisted his body and avoided the punch, stepping backwards while doing so. Roy lunged again, but Naruto ducked before rolling to the left as Roy tried to hit him in the face with his knee. Roy continuously tried to hit the elusive blonde, but began to tire.

"Stand...fucking...still" he launched jabs with each word.
