"And where's the fun in that?" Naruto replied with a confident smile. His right arm was starting to work again. He reached into his back pocket, pulled out a purple sphere, and threw it on the ground. A cloud of smoke billowed up, and the girls got ready for action.
"..." Mai was the first to get hit on the cheek and fell down. When she got up, all she could see was smoke. Annoyed, she took out two blades and threw them at a silhouette she saw.
"Hey, watch out!" Ty Lee's angry shout made Mai realize her mistake too late. She barely managed to avoid the thrown blades. However, in her haste, she got caught in a thin wire that tripped her and pulled her into the smoke, away from her friends.
"..."
Azula spotted a silhouette in the smoke and was about to shoot a fireball at it when she realized it was Ty Lee.
"Guys, that boy went that way!" Ty Lee shouted as she pointed randomly, causing the fire nation girls to rush in that direction. But when they arrived, they found Ty Lee hanging upside down from a thin rope tied to a tree branch.
"Girls, it's a trap!" Ty Lee's warning came late. The other 'Ty Lee' grabbed Mai, who was closest, and forced her to the ground, immobilizing her arm with a key move. Meanwhile, Azula watched as the second Ty Lee vanished in a puff of smoke, revealing the smirking blonde.
"If you move, I'll break her arm," Naruto's smile disappeared as he tightened his grip on his hostage, Mai, who kept her head down on the grass.
"Oh, really?" Azula grinned evilly. She spun around, sending a blade of fire shooting from her foot towards the shinobi. He had to release Mai and swiftly evade the attack. "I doubt you have the guts to do that. You're just a kid," Azula taunted, launching a series of flaming strikes. Naruto dodged her attacks, moving backward.
Seeing her chance, Mai got up and threw a knife to cut the wire holding Ty Lee. As they regrouped, a battle ignited between Azula and Naruto. The blonde had to stay on the defensive, evading Azula's golden-eyed assault. Naruto jumped to a branch to put some distance between them and glared at the fire princess.
"You could've hurt your friend just by catching me. Don't you think you're overreacting?" the shinobi asked, annoyed by the mocking smile on the teenager's face.
"In a fight, the last thing you worry about is your allies. The important thing is winning. You must know that. This isn't your first battle, is it?" She said confidently, taking a step closer. Sheunleashed a strong stream of fire, scorching the tree where her target had been, forcing him down.
"Who taught you that nonsense?" Naruto asked as he was clearly annoyed by the fire princess.
"My father." Azula's hands ignited in flames as she and her companions prepared to attack.
"Well, your father's an idiot, and it looks like you've inherited that trait," Naruto retorted.
Hearing this Ty Lee and Mai exchanged worried glances, distancing themselves from the angry fire princess whose expression grew darker.
"How dare you…" Azula's teeth clenched in fury. No one insulted her father and got away with it.
"I thought this fight was silly, but now I see it's a waste of time," Naruto muttered, crossing his arms. He had initially thought of enjoying the fight, but the girl's words left a bitter taste in his mouth. "I won't bother fighting... you're not worth it." He turned to leave, knowing that without her lizards, the girls wouldn't be able to catch him.
Ty Lee watched in horror as Azula's fists trembled, and sparks of lightning began to form. "Azula, no!" she cried out, but it was too late. The fire princess extended her right hand, releasing a bolt of blue lightning that roared as it broke the sound barrier and hit Naruto's back.
He felt a sharp, agonizing pain, and then everything went dark.
