Chapitre 53: Naruto : Uchiha : Chapter 53
And that wasn't to say how lethal he could be if he decided to let out his Sharingan in battle, that he all but avoided on any fellow villagers if he could.
"We'll just see at the end of the day, now won't we?" he mocked them even further and Naruto's jaw clenched shut.
...
He spread his feet apart, his arms loosely in front of him to enter the first kata of the Uzumaki taijutsu style drilled into him by Mito.
It was a defensive style, only to be coupled with ninjutsu or especially with seals if the user was proficient enough.
He wanted to scout out if the man truly was as dangerous as Duy really believed him to be or was just blowing off hot air at nothing in particular.
His eyebrows shot up seeing the man's weird stance though.
His left leg was raised up in the air while he stood on his right toes, all the while his right arm lay lifelessly by his side with his left in front of him in a hitherto motion, taunting him for the first strike.
"Is he mocking me?" he couldn't help but think, seeing the man putting a couple of his limbs to rest, just to show him how utterly worthless he was in his eyes.
"Come now, what are you waiting for?" the elderly man taunted further, and Naruto wasn't one to waste his chance of such a loosely held stance by his opponent.
His body shot straight for him at blazing speeds, his eyes focused only on taking that overconfident man out for the count as soon as possible.
He jumped up, twisting around his right leg he made a roundhouse kick for that lifeless arm he held by his side but the man saw it coming from a mile away.
His left palm came to intercept his kick, catching his calf within it with a slap but his arm didn't even so much as give a slight vibration to show it suffered some impact.
His hand squeezed his captured leg, and Naruto winced in agony at the vice grip that felt like some iron clippers had clasped him at the moment. He twisted his body upwards, raising his torso to his level to launch a punch straight at that wide open and lifeless shoulder that he wasn't looking to using anytime soon.
Master Chen merely hopped a bit aside to let it pass by him harmlessly in a slick motion and made Naruto over reach far more than he had intended to, though it did cause Chen to loosen his grip upon his leg.
Naruto seized the moment, and crouched down on the ground, ignoring the pain in his leg to swipe in a circle with his other leg to take the man's foot from under him. Chen once more hopped up a bit, deliberately waiting for the right moment and pointed his thumb down to land on Naruto's leg.
The blonde's eyes widened in agony upon feeling all his weight being concentrated on a single pressure point of his leg and he pumped up chakra to it to lessen the pain while enforcing it even further to withstand the brutal assault upon his calf bone.
He clenched his eyes upon feeling the pressure increase with a sudden piercing of chakra upon the point of contact, but the momentary loss of sight costed him dearly.
He barely saw the incoming sole for his chest and crossed his arms across it in a cross guard to take the full impact. A burst of chakra coupled with the man's inhumane strength launched him back, rocketing him straight to where his friends were sitting as spectators.
Tsunade and Sakumo moved aside on instinct to see Naruto rocket past them and straight into the wall behind them with a bang.
"NARU!" Tsunade's worried shout woke Sakumo from his stunned stupor and he too rushed towards his decommissioned friend who let down his cross guard slowly.
Naruto looked down at his stinging arms with a slight wince, which most probably contained some cracked bones but nothing lethal since he had enforced them with chakra before hand.
But for the life of him, he couldn't get them to stop shaking like dry leaves.
Such brutal strength, he hadn't ever faced such a brutal physical attack before in his life. Tsunade's soft hands clasped his forearms within them while they glowed a light green showing their sheen of medical chakra flowing within them.
"Kami, Naru there's cracks in your bones…" she whispered, her eyes glimmering with increasing worry seeing the swelling starting to appear within them, and that wasn't to say what his leg must have suffered from the blow he had dealt him earlier.
She glanced up only to be stunned at seeing his hair shadowing his eyes while his lips held a…
Smirk.
He caught her hands within his own, stopping her healing abruptly. She tilted her head to the side, only to meet the sight of his gaze.
Which weren't their baby blue counterparts they were a moment ago.
"I'm fine…" he started getting up, only to be pulled down by the girl who glared heatedly at him.
"You're not fine. Those are hairline fractures Naru, you shouldn't fight with them or you may complicate a simple swelling even further…" she admonished the boy who had his eyes fixed on the old man behind her.
She bit her lip seeing he wasn't even listening to her, even though she was lying a bit about his arms. But that man was too strong, she could see he would thrashed if he went along with this, he would lose and be beaten in that bet at the same time.
"Tsuna, let me go…" he removed her hands forcefully from his wrists. She wanted to stop him, but Sakumo pulled her back and shook his head in negative telling her to let it go for now.
Naruto cracked his neck, rubbing his arms to stop their slight shaking only to see his opponent holding an amused smile upon his face.
"You coming back for more? I didn't take you for being a idiot…" he mocked, which had no effect whatsoever upon Naruto causing his smug smile to slip a bit. The boy was as calm as they came and he couldn't help but loathe that unreadable calm expression upon his face.
The blonde wasn't even deterred, not in the slightest from his previous assault.
Naruto rushed him in a blur, not wanting to give him any more chances for a strike. His right fist went for his chin, for which Chen only leaned his head back at the last possible second.
His left fist followed up while he tilted his head to the side to let it pass by him harmlessly, Naruto swiped his right arm to cleave the man's head off, but he hopped back to make some distance between them but Naruto was having none of it.
He jumped forward, once more giving him a roundhouse kick to his cheek which he once more caught in his palm.
His Sharingan flared, seeing his arm muscles twitch to indicate he wanted to twist and sprain it before the man had even made a move himself.
He followed up with his left leg, snaking it around the man's neck and pulling himself up to sit atop his shoulders in a flexible maneuver. His fingers clasped each other to make a double handed fist above his head that he started bringing down towards the man's head and end it once and for all.
But Chen, as if someone had ripped out his spine, fell down backwards like a snake causing Naruto to stumble and fall from his shoulders to dodge his left elbow by a hair's length from his cheek and roll back to maintain some distance.
Chen was quite impressed at the boy's skill, even though he still had quite a ways to go before he could beat him head on in a fight. He wasn't known as the best taijutsu master in the elemental nations for nothing.
But his eyes widened when Naruto stood up and changed his stance completely. His legs straight and wide, with his arms diagonally straight towards the ground with open palms facing Chen.
The Interceptor Fist.
Naruto crossed his arms in front of his chest, opening them and dropping down in the first kata of his unique style. He was wasting chakra by enforcing his limbs to endure the man's brutal assault with a defensive style, not it was time to go on the counter attack.
Anyone else would be troubled, but with his Sharingan he could predict and dodge the man's attack while exploiting the holes in between their bouts increasing his chances and time exponentially.
As much as he liked the Uzumaki stance, he was no Uzumaki nor was he a Senju. He didn't have their unnatural reserves or physical stamina to go defensively with huge chakra outputs for hours on end.
But he was an Uchiha, and his instincts were still unrivaled.
Chen's right leg made contact with the floor while his left arm sprung up to life which made Naruto smirk.
The man was now taking him seriously.
"Sakumo what's that stance, that isn't what Mito-Baa taught him…" Tsunade tugged his sleeve only to see Sakumo intently looking at the fight and barely paying attention to her words.
"Yeah, Naruto hasn't used this since our first spar in the Academy. He changed it completely after that, but I guess he was mastering it on his own in the meantime along with the one Mito-sama must have taught him…" he surmised his own thoughts while Duy couldn't help but look in admiration for his friend.
To think he had been mastering not one, but two stances was a feet in itself.
And on top of that, he was showing off his secret moves just for his sake.
Such youth!
All the more reason for his plan of making him his rival to come to fruition sooner than later.
Chen rushed in first this time, his arms blurring in to make painful strikes to Naruto, who now, much to his added surprise, started deflecting them efficiently as if he were a completely different person from a moment ago.
But even he had to admit the man was something else, there wasn't even a single opening in his completely lucrative stance that he could exploit, and that was saying something against his eyes.
They exchanged blow after blow, neither giving the other to lash out with Naruto…, now coupling his Sharingan, chakra enhancing to withstand his blows if he missed a dodge and increasing his speed as much as he could was able to stand toe to toe with the man rumored to have taijutsu prowess even greater than those of the Five Kage.
