Capítulo 31: Chapter 30: Grey Area(4)
After using the Hiraishin to get off of the island that Titan Tower was built on Naruto decided to walk home instead of just transporting all the way, using the time it would take to get there to think. His fight with Robin had surprised him, not because he wasn't expecting it, but because he wasn't the one fighting the boy. Normally when it came to fighting Wrath would influence his behaviour, making him more aggressive and, though he didn't like to admit it, stronger. But for some reason it didn't happen this time because before the fight had even began Sloth had taken over, forcing his mind into an odd sense of calm that he didn't usually have in a fight.
Letting his mind run on autopilot as he walked through the city, Naruto sent a mental message to the lazy sin that he wanted to talk. It wasn't until five minutes later that he finally got a response.
"Bothersome...what do you want? I was taking a nap."
The response just made the blonde roll his eyes.
"Why did you interferer back at the tower? Normally you would have just slept through the whole thing."
Hearing a worn out sigh in his head, as if the fact that he was asking why the sin had taken over his body was a pointless question, he felt the mental equivalent of a shrug.
"If I let Wrath do his usual thing then you would have put the kid in the hospital and it would have upset you girlfriend, so I beat him to it."
For a few seconds Naruto didn't now how to respond, he just stared ahead, blinking.
"Erm...thanks, I guess"
"Whatever"
His head now quiet, at least for him, Naruto continued his walk as he thought about what had just happened. In fact he was so caught up in his thoughts that he almost missed the ten kunai that were flying towards him from one of the roofs to his right. Catching movement out of the corner of his eye, Naruto flipped forward just in time as the throwing blades sunk into the ground where he had been standing not a second before. Narrowing his eyes, the blonde teen followed their path to the roof of one of the buildings, ignore the crowd that was gathering to see what was going on, and couldn't help the smirk that slipped onto his lips. Standing on the building were three dark figures dressed in identical black cloaks with the hoods pulled up to cover their hair and blank white ANBU masks to hide their faces from view. He had been expecting his old friends to make a move at some point, though he thought he had more time before they did and that they wouldn't have the nerve to challenge him in broad day light in public, but at this point he really didn't care.
His smirk turning into a full blown grin Naruto decided to throw causation to the wind and, after throwing his jacket and white shirt to one side leaving him in a black muscle shirt, showing the numerous scars on his arms, raised a hand and gave the three figures the finger.
Faster then anyone in the crowd could see the three men disappeared from the roof top and were suddenly in the middle of the road, facing the whiskered blonde in a triangle formation with the tallest of the three stood at the front. He took a small step forward; separating himself from the other two even further before talking in a voice Naruto knew all to well.
"This is your last chance Naruto, come with us peacefully and save yourself some pain, we don't want to hurt you."
Bending his legs slightly so that he was in a ready stance, Naruto tilted his head to one side as he stared at Kakashi with a small smirk that reminded the three of a certain Uchiha in his youth.
"That's a shame, because I could use a workout. Though three against one isn't really fair, maybe you should go and get the rest of your team...Inu-san."
Kakashi stiffened at the mention of his ANBU name, for more then one reason, though the other two didn't know that and after a moment had passed, the crowd around them steadily growing bigger and bigger, the jonin stepped back into formation before nodding his head.
"So be it"
Without warning the cloaked figure on Kakashi's right ran forward, his form turning into little more then a blur as it ran straight at the blonde before jumping in the air a few feet away, spinning, and attempting to kick the whiskered teen in the head, only to be blocked by Naruto's forearm. The moment the two connected a small shockwave was released, not enough to effect either of the two but more then enough to knock a few of the civilians away. The moment they realised that this was a fight between people with powers the crowd scattered, some screaming as they went, though some stayed to watch from a distance.
Locking eyes with his opponent through the eye holes of his mask, Naruto's smile grew slightly as he whispered so that no one else could hear.
"You've improved Lee, you're stronger, but it's not enough."
Leaping back so that he was several feet away, the now identified Lee got into the first stance of his style before replying.
"Then I will have to step it up a little more!"
Closing the distance between them again Lee aimed another kick at the blonde's mid-section which was blocked yet again, however unlike last time where it ended in a stalemate, this kick was stronger and even though he was able to block it, Naruto wasn't able to stop himself skidding back several feet. Not giving the blonde a chance to get his bearings Lee followed up with two more kicks, one at his shoulder and the other at his stomach, both were blocked, but both sent him several more steps back, before he made an attempt to sweep his legs out from under him.
Jumping over the outstretched leg and landing in a handstand Naruto spun on his hands and, catching Lee by surprise, kicked him in the side of the head as he stood back up. The kick knocked him off balance and before he knew what was happening Naruto had jumped back into the air and kicked him in the chest with both feet at the same time, the force of the kick sending his opponent back to where he had been stood before they started to fight. Quickly flipping back to his feet, Naruto had just enough time to realise that one of his opponents was missing, right before two hands burst from the ground, only to grasp at thin air as the blond pulled his legs into the air with his knees to his chest before slamming them into the group with enough force to shatter the pavement. Moments later the two hands reappeared out of the ground between the other two cloaked figures, followed by a head and body as Kakashi pulled his out of the ground.
For a moment nothing happened, both sides staring at each other as they waited for the other to make the next move. Naruto made sure to keep an eye on the one opponent that head yet to attack, them being the only one he was yet to identify, thus making them the most dangerous at the present moment in time. He doubted it was Ino or Hinata, Ino had already proven ineffective against him, and Hinata was not a fighter at heart, so both were out. Sakura was unlikely too, seeing as after her training with Tsunade she had become a close range fighter and would have attacked him with Lee in an attempt to overwhelm him.
That left Sasuke or Shikamaru as his prim suspects.
