Chapter 38 - The Winner of the Bet

NARUTO POV:

"Biju-ton: Ikari no ken" [Tailed beast style: Fists of fury]

Kabuto, who had been gloating about how he was so much better than Shizune, was sent flying by Naruto's fist overflowing with Kurama's chakra.

"That guy talks way too much" he said as he helped Shizune up before rushing to Tsunade.

He glanced to see Kimimaro now unconscious.

The white- haired teen had started coughing up blood when Naruto got a critical hit on his chest, and went down too easy for Naruto's liking after that.

'Makes sense that they'd bring him to the best healer, he must have some sort of lung disease.'

'Ohh yeah that does make sense.'

 

He quickly took off his jacket and started wiping off the blood that had fallen on the now recovering Tsunade.

"You good, granny?"

She nodded weakly.

"Seriously though, how does a medic end up with fear of blood?"

"I didn't ask for it brat."

Her eyes suddenly widening was his only signal.

He pushed her away with a blast of wind chakra from his left hand while lashing out with a kunai in his right to intercept Kusanagi.

Orochimaru looked stunned for a second, before smirking.

"Truly your master's student, aren't you."

"Why the hell are you here?"

"My bad kid!"

The two turned to see Jiraiya make way to where they were.

"He saw you take down those two and rushed here."

"And you what, had a drink?"

"I'm still drugged you brat, and he did some weird snake tongue thing."

"yeah no shit he did a weird snake tongue thing, his whole schtick is snakes."

"Be respectful brat!"

"You're the Sannin here, don't let your opponent slip by like that dattebayo!"

"Ku Ku Ku, truly alike."

"SHUT UP!"

The two turned to face Orochimaru together.

"Don't worry kid, I won't let him out of my sight this time" Jiraiya said as he tightened his wrist guards.

"Leave four eyes to me" Naruto said firmly.

With that, the two dashed forward to meet their opponents.

 

 

 

With a burst of chakra, Naruto launched a few wind bullets that hit Kabuto on his chest.

"Don't you get it yet?" his opponent laughed "no matter how much you hit me; I'll heal instantly!"

"You'll run out of chakra eventually" Naruto said as he made another Rasengan "All I have to do is kill you again and again until you stay dead."

"That would be true, but I'm not going to run out any time soon, and I'm not going to just stand still while you try to kill me."

 Naruto dashed forward with the Rasengan again, and clearly in his 2 tailed state Kabuto couldn't keep up.

He felt the Jutsu grind against the guy, but before being launched by the force Kabuto managed to slice through the cloak's protection and cut through Naruto's right leg using that scalpel technique on his feet.

'Kurama?'

'On it kid'

Kabuto's self-satisfied smirk vanished as he got back up to see Naruto's

"you're not the only one that can heal" Naruto said with a grin.

He then clasped his hands together.

'Liebe, help me out here.'

'are you sure Naruto? I don't think you should use this move in your current state…'

'Bah, who cares about should? If we're gonna take this guy down, all I have to do is get rid of his healing.'

'…don't say I didn't warn you…'

Ignoring the ominous warning, Naruto channelled his void chakra.

Kabuto, who had been about to dash forward, froze as he felt the sudden erasure of the chakra around them.

He looked on to see a small ball glowing with black energy in Naruto's clasped hands

"Well then" the blonde said with a grin "try to face my Kuroana."[Black Hole]

The two tails cloak suddenly started flickering like a candle in a storm before completely going out.

Naruto, caught off guard the sudden withdrawal of energy, could only stand where he was as Kabuto snapped out of it and plunged his chakra scalpel towards his heart.

With a grunt, Naruto managed to take a step back with his left leg just in time for the attack to hit his lung but not his heart.

Naruto's vision and hearing was still a bit hazy, but he could still feel his chakra.

And the literal black hole still stable in his hand.

With all the energy he could muster, he used his left hand to pull himself forward by grabbing onto Kabuto's extended hand.

With his right, he thrust it straight forward.

 

 

TSUNADE POV:

Tsunade rushed forward towards the blonde kid, ignoring the sound-nin who had been sent flying by the completed version of what Naruto had been about to use on her the other day.

"Kid!"

She bent down, not even noticing his blood on her hands as she fell back into her habits as a medic nin.

She recalled the textbook she and Dan had made as an example for that medic program so long ago.

'Step 1: analyse.'

She ripped off the tatters of his shirt and used her diagnostic Jutsu.

'Step 2: ensure that the injury does not get worse'

Her chakra coated the edges of the wounds, and the blood stopped leaking out. She had basically put up a dam and was now manually transporting the blood from one side of the wound to the other using her chakra.

'step 3: prioritize major injuries.'

Well there was only one injury here, and it looks pretty major, so skip.

'Step 4: Heal it genius what are you waiting for?'

Yeah, sounds about right.

 

 

 

She let out a breath of relief as she finally stopped the mystic palm Jutsu and looked up to see Jiraiya and Orochimaru still going at it while the white-haired Kaguya clan kid and 4 eyes were still on the ground.

She got up after putting her necklace around Naruto's neck.

'I'll believe in someone, one last time.'

With that, she rushed off to join her two oldest friends in battle.
