Chapter 42 - Fire Daimyo's Request [1]

*CLANG*

The sound of blade colliding with blades was heard through the open field as the attackers collided with the two Teams.

''This brat is strong, we should take him together, he'll be a threat to Zin-sama and Ein-sama!'' A Chuunin that was pushed back by Naruto said to his comrades, they all nodded before eight of the 20 Chuunins went to deal with the blonde teenager alone, they had ignored Kakashi and Gai or simply believed that their two Jounin would be able to deal with them.

Three Chuunins were dealing with Neji and six were dealing with both Sasuke and Lee together, two were helping a Jounin against Kakashi and the remaining was helping the other Jounin with Gai.

'Trying to take on my with numbers, eh? Never heard that in front of strength, numbers don't mean anything?' Naruto thought before Wind and Lightning started to flow and flicker around his blade and taking disappearing from his places, the enemies quickly looked around, trying to find him.

Before they could notice, Naruto was already in front of one of them and with a quick slash, the Chuunin throat was pierced, blood overflowed from the inside out and in an instant, he died.

As one of them died, the rest noticed as they all threw Shurikens from every direction, seeing this, Naruto jumped in the air, however, he ''fell'' in their trap as they shouted in sync ''Suiton: Mizudeppo! (Water Release: Water Gun!)'' from their mouths, water shot out towards Naruto's body, that was still in midair.

The blonde teenager body, that was still in midair, suddenly started to spin along the Wind 'Jinton: Hiko no Tatsumaki (Swift Release: Tornado of Flight)' with his body that was continuously spinning, his Sword of Whirlwinds cut through the water that was threatening to pierce his body.

Before his enemies could get out of their daze, Naruto thought to himself as his figure became somewhat illusory, akin to small amounts of Winds visibly disappearing from place 'Jinton: Mueisho! (Swift Release: Shadowless Flight!)

He disappeared from his place and appeared continuously in many places, cutting through the body of the Chuunins 'Holding back really isn't something enjoying, even if I lower my strength and they have higher numbers, it's not as enjoying as fighting people strong as me or stronger than me...' Naruto thought while looking at the eight Chuunins, that were lying on the ground lifelessly.

''Need help, Sasuke, Lee?'' Naruto asked but despite that, he had already killed three of the six Chuunins helping, the Jounin that was fighting Kakashi saw that and noticed that if they kept going, all of their squad would be killed ''Retreat!'' he shouted before trying to run away along the Chuunins.

However, a voice filled with cold indifference sounded ''Some of you tried to kill my cute otouto but you still think that you can escape? Doton: Doryūheki (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall)''

Earth rose from the ground and blocked the entire open field, nulling any chance of the enemies escaping, Lightning started to gather within Kakashi's hands as the sound of chirping birds reverberated through the open field, suddenly, he disappeared from his place, the white-haired man voice was the last thing the Jounin heard ''Chidori!''

But Kakashi didn't seem to stop here as the Lightning was still flickering in his hand, he went on a killing spree, each time he reappeared, an enemy was killed and in no time, only the other Jounin was remaining alive, barely alive. Looking incredulously towards Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke said in sync ''If you could've done that from the very beginning, why did you just do that now?''

Scratching the back of his head, Kakashi said ''Ah, I wanted to see how much you guys improved, I must say, I'm impressed!''

Sasuke and Lee had some cuts in their body but these were only superficial injuries, due to his ''perfect'' defense, Neji barely had any injury, as for Sakura and Tenten, they didn't even fought, not to mention get injured.

With the still-alive Jounin tied up on a tree with his Chakra Pathway sealed by Neji, Kakashi started to ask him in a ''kind'' manner ''Tell us more about that so-called Zin-sama and Ein-sama, you probably don't want to suffer, right? You're at most hired by him, no loyalty needed, don't you think?''

As he said that, his Sword pierced the Jounin stomach slightly before spinning the sword in a very slow manner, bringing a lot of pain to the man, that quickly gave up on resisting before he said ''I'll say, just please let me go!''

Kakashi nodded ''If you say it, I'll let you go.''

The Jounin sighed in a relieved manner before he said ''Zin-sama and Ein-sama are holders of the True Dark Release, he forced us to work for him through a strange seal, every time we held ominous intents towards them, the seal would act, we could only obey the orders!''

''When we tried to fight, all of our Ninjutsu were absorbed by them, oh, that's right! Every time they absorbed the Ninjutsu we threw at them, their hands would be covered by a dark aura, after that, the dark aura released the Ninjutsu back at us! Before we knew, the strange seal was already on us, I also know the weakness after working for them for such amount of time.''

He said before continuing ''Their weakness is...''

Suddenly, the light within the man's eyes died, his life fading away at the same time ''A seal similar to the Root's seal, huh? I wonder why he could release such high amount of information, only certain information was blocked, maybe the enemies have blind confidence? That must be it.'' Kakashi thought out loud.
