The Strength Within

Woodsea, Year-X777

(Insert Music: Naruto- Raising the Fighting Spirit)

Naruto and Kurama rushed their opponents. Cobra launched himself at the blonde only for Naruto to reach out to grab him. However, Cobra's ears twitched and he was able to duck beneath the grab. Cobra kicked upwards to smash his foot against Naruto's elbow joint, but the blonde retracted his arm before slamming it downwards. Cobra rolled out of the way and was in shock when he saw the small crater that formed from Naruto's punch.

'Is he using magic to enhance his strength, no I would be able to hear his magic system circulating it to his arm...this is his actual physical strength!' Cobra stretched out his arms as Cuberos slithered along his shoulders and lashed out at Naruto with his fangs bared.

Naruto stood still which confused the snake only for it to be smashed into the ground as Kurama's tails slammed down on its skull. Cobra hissed and punched Naruto, but the younger boy dodged the attack and attacked with a kick, however he suddenly felt himself slip. The blonde looked to see Hoteye's eyes glowing a bright orange.

'He controls the earth? It's liquefying!' Naruto growled mentally as he sent a blast of wind at Cobra sending the brown haired boy, but Cobra had foreseen that with his Listening Magic and managed to get out of the way and then rained down heavy blows on Naruto. He crashed a powerful punch to the top of Naruto's skull before spinning and slamming an upward kick to the chin causing Naruto's head to snap upwards.

Cobra followed up with a series of palm strikes to the chest and then grabbed Naruto by his hair and raised his knee as he brought Naruto's head down. Naruto's face met Cobra's knee and Naruto's head snapped backward from the force. Hoteye, still having Naruto held within his earthen confines, manipulated the earth and caused to bend and twist before it formed a hand. He then caused the hand to slam the blonde dragonslayer into the ground multiple times before throwing him into a tree.

"You can't hit me, blondie. I can hear your every move, your every contraction and expansion of the muscles, your breath, I can hear your heart rate, I can use those things to predict your moves before you even make them and I can hear the magic energy flowing through your body. I WIN!" Cobra then rushed Naruto who was motionless and aimed a flying kick to Naruto's chest. However, Cobra's ears suddenly picked up on Naruto's increase in heart rate and the contraction and expansion of his arm muscles. Cobra withdrew his leg, but he was not able to foresee the blast of pressurized air that followed the supposed 'miss'.

Hoteye controlled the earth as it liquefied and caught Cobra.

"You may be able to predict the flow of my magic energy...but you cannot predict how it will act when I release it. Wind is the most versatile of all elements, second only to water. It is near impossible to dodge the wind." The blonde spoke in a monotone.

Racer's legs began to vibrate at high speeds before he ran towards Naruto.

"I'll take you down so fast, you won't even know what happened!" Racer announced as he vanished in a blur of speed.

"You call that fast. I've fought against much faster...but then again you're just a weak human. What do you have when put against a demonic kitsune who is way out of your league?" Naruto said. Suddenly Kurama appeared in Racer's way and unleashed a ball of flame at him. Racer's eyes widened behind his sunglasses and he quickly jumped in the air and vanished to appear behind Naruto only to have the blonde's elbow embedded in his stomach. Naruto opened his white eyes and grinned widely.

"You can't escape from my wrath...human." Naruto growled. Racer trembled as Naruto twisted and grabbed him by the throat.

"Wh-What are you?" Naruto grinned wider at that.

"You are not worthy to hear that information!" Naruto roared before slamming Racer on the ground. However, the earth liquefied and Race was saved from a bone shattering impact. The earth then formed into spikes and shot up to impale Naruto. A wind shield circulated in front of Naruto and took the attack and stopped it, while also shredding the liquid spikes. Naruto turned and took a deep breath along with Kurama.

"UNISON RAID: KARYUENDAAN!" A large fire dragon formed as Naruto combined his Fuuryuendaan with Kurama's fire blast. The attack headed towards Hoteye only for the earth to liquefy beneath him and he sunk into the earth and avoided the attack causing the poor tree that was hit to blow up. Kurama jumped and flipped in the air, his tails igniting as he aimed for Angel.

"Gate of the Twins, I open thee...GEMINI!" Angel shouted. A blue magic seal appeared and out came two small gremlin looking creatures.

"Transform into the fox and kill him." Angel commanded. Gemini nodded before one of the gremlins jumped atop the other's head before they transformed in a plume of smoke.

"DON'T YOU DARE TRY AND COPY ME!" Kurama roared as his tails clashed with his Gemini's own fiery appendages. Kurama dived down as his body erupted into flame.

"FIRE ROCKET!" He roared. Gemini grinned before taking a deep breath and releasing a blast of flame. Kurama snarled as he dove through the flames, being impervious to fire and then slammed headfirst into Gemini's stomach. Gemini gasped and the Stellar Spirit was sent into the ground causing a crater. Kurama roared and slammed his paw against Genini's face.

"Change back or I rip your face off!" Kurama snarled. Gemini sweated profusely out of fear before nodding and changing back into the twins.

"HOW DARE YOU CHANGE INTO THE GREAT KURAMA!" The four tailed kitsune howled before releasing a torrent of fire from his claws and slashed at both spirits. The twins were sent through the air and Gemini fell to the ground covered in horrible burns. The spirits then vanished in golden light to recover in their homeroom. Angel gaped at how easily her spirit was defeated. Kurama turned to face her and released a blast of fire, aiming to cook her alive. Cuberos then dove in and wrapped his tails around the white haired girl's legs and tugged. Angel fell to the ground and dragged out of the way.

"COBRA CONTROL YOUR DAMN REPTILE!"

"HE JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE!" The brown haired boy replied as he backflipped to avoid another punch from the blonde. Cobra leaped and sent a flying kick at Naruto, but the blonde raised his arm and blocked it before swinging Cobra into the ground. However, the ground shot up as Hoteye aimed to engulf him with the liquid earth. Naruto roared as he was hostage by the earth itself.

"Naruto nii!" Wendy gasped as she saw the blonde taken by the earth. However, his magic power spiked and a blast of wind tore apart his prison as he performed Fuuton: Tatsumaki. Naruto then turned and charged magic energy into his leg. A magic seal appeared in front of him as he swung his leg downwards.
