Capítulo 67: chapter 59
Chapter 59- Kisame
Naruto and Sasuke stood opposite Kisame and Itachi. Sasuke's Sharingan was activated, its red eye spinning manically as he locked his intense gaze onto his brother.
Naruto placed his hand on Sasuke's shoulder, his gaze steady. "Do you need my help to deal with him?" Naruto inquired, his willingness to assist Sasuke evident.
Sasuke met Naruto's gaze, and a sense of gratitude stirred within him, appreciating his friend's offer to aid him in fulfilling his vengeance. His eyes softened as he regarded Naruto.
"No need, I will kill him by myself. You know I am stronger," Sasuke responded to Naruto. He then shifted his gaze to Itachi, his eyes ablaze with anger, an intense desire to tear this man apart fueling his resolve.
"Do as you please, I will deal with this shark man," Naruto declared, his gaze shifting to Kisame.
Sasuke nodded in acknowledgment. In unison, they launched themselves at Kisame and Itachi.
Naruto drew his sword and swung it towards Kisame, while Kisame readied his Samehada, revealing its dark blue, shark-like scales as the straps around the sword fell away.
As Naruto's slash approached, Kisame countered with a powerful swing of his Samehada. The clash of their attacks resonated with a resounding "clang." The ground beneath them shattered, giving rise to a substantial crater.
Kisame regarded Naruto with surprise. The boy had absorbed his attack with apparent ease. A grin spread across Kisame's face, his battle-crazed demeanor revealing his shark-like teeth. "Your strength is amazing, boy," he commented, his words accompanied by his fierce grin.
Naruto met his gaze firmly. "You realize it now... Let's fight somewhere else. Let the brothers resolve their matters themselves," Naruto proposed to Kisame. Kisame nodded in understanding, acknowledging Naruto's sentiment.
Before departing for his confrontation with Kisame, Naruto turned his attention to Sasuke one last time. "Be safe while I'm gone," he advised Sasuke before dashing towards the forest, where Kisame awaited him. Sasuke watched Naruto go and nodded in response.
Meanwhile, the two brothers locked eyes, both stepping back to create some distance.
Sasuke's sword and Itachi's kunai remained poised for battle. Itachi broke the silence. "You have a good friend," he observed.
Sasuke regarded his older brother coldly. "Yes... and a thousand times better than you," he retorted with anger lacing his voice.
Far from the brothers, in the forest.
Kisame and Naruto confronted each other, the need for words unnecessary. Their gazes locked as a tense silence hung between them. Naruto swiftly charged at Kisame, his sword held diagonally as he swung it with immense force, cutting through the air with precision.
Kisame, observing the incoming attack, responded by lifting his Samehada in a sweeping motion to counter the slash. "Clang!" The resounding clash echoed through the surroundings, its impact sending shockwaves that uprooted nearby trees.
"You sure have raw strength," Kisame commented as they momentarily separated from their clash. Naruto looked at him, a grin playing on his lips.
"This is just the beginning," he retorted.
Naruto thrust his sword forward, aiming to pierce the shark. In response, Kisame positioned his sword in front of his stomach.
Once again, the two blades met with a reverberating "clang." The air around them rippled, and with a resounding bang, Kisame was propelled backward at breakneck speed, shattering numerous trees in his path.
Stunned, he managed to stabilize himself in the air after leaving a trail of destruction.
A small droplet of blood escaped his mouth as he did so. Gazing at the path of devastation he had inadvertently created, Kisame's eyes narrowed. He had been flung back an astonishing fifty meters from his initial position.
"Such brute force," Kisame muttered to himself as he wiped the blood from his mouth, acknowledging Naruto's formidable might.
Naruto inspected his sword, its tip now bent from the force of impact against Samehada.
"Tch, weak sword. I should buy a better one," he muttered to himself in dissatisfaction.
Meanwhile, Kisame had regained his balance. Swiftly, he appeared behind Naruto, launching a swing aimed at Naruto's neck.
Reacting with agility, Naruto twisted his body, managing to intercept the attack just in time. "Clang!" Another sound rang out as the force of Kisame's strike shattered Naruto's sword into two pieces.
The sheer power behind Kisame's attack proved overwhelming, and the impact sent Naruto hurtling backward.
With a skilled twist of his body, Naruto managed to regain his balance in midair and landed safely on the ground.
Gazing at his broken sword, he threw it sideways.
Without lingering, Naruto took swift action, He charged at Kisame, simultaneously forming a Rasengan in his left hand.
As Kisame swung his sword downward, Naruto raised his left hand to deflect the incoming attack.
With his right hand coated in lightning chakra, he slammed a punch into Kisame's abdomen. The surge of electricity coursed through Kisame's body, accompanied by a resounding bang as he collided with a nearby tree. Coughing up a spatter of blood, Kisame's body hit the tree with force.
He observed Naruto, his expression serious as he spoke, "You were able to wound me… that's good, brat." Kisame's comment reflected his acknowledgment of Naruto's prowess.
Naruto directed his gaze to his left hand, where the Rasengan still spun in his palm. 'His sword absorbed half of my Rasengan,' Naruto thought.
The truth was that Samehada had the ability to absorb chakra from opponents, which explained why Naruto hadn't coated his sword with any specific chakra nature. With a flick of his hand, Naruto dispersed the Rasengan.
The surroundings underwent a swift transformation as the humidity in the air escalated. Kisame's focus remained forward as he sheathed his sword on his back, his hands forming intricate hand signs.
"Water Style: Exploding Colliding Water Wave," he declared, and in response, an immense tidal wave surged forth beneath him. Elevating him nearly twenty feet into the air, he skillfully rode the colossal wall of water.
With increasing velocity, he directed this aquatic force towards Naruto.
As Kisame advanced, destruction unfurled in his wake. Trees were mercilessly uprooted, and stones were reduced to fragments.
The enormity of the wave he rode rendered everything in its path powerless. Naruto, however, faced the incoming spectacle with a savage grin. 'A ninjutsu battle…you will loos miserably man,' Naruto mused inwardly.
Naruto remained rooted in place, his stance unwavering, as he awaited the impending collision with the oncoming wave. From his vantage point atop the colossal wave, Kisame observed him closely, his thoughts forming a confident assertion: 'This is the furthest you'll go, brat.'
As the surging water approached Naruto, he extended his right hand deliberately. Upon the initial touch of the wave's leading edge against his palm, an immense surge of chakra pulsed forth from him. In a low voice that carried an air of command,
"Ice Release: Freeze." At his utterance, a remarkable transformation unfurled. The mammoth wave, previously bearing down on him, now began to undergo a swift crystallization.
This process originated from the point of contact with Naruto's hand, its icy grip extending outward toward Kisame's position. In the span of an eye's blink, the once-mighty water wave had transitioned into a frozen tableau, arrested in place by the pervasive force of Naruto's technique.
Observing this, Kisame's eyes widened in surprise, prompting him to leap from the frozen water.
'A kekkei genkai… this is way too powerful,' he mused, recognizing the might of the Ice Release technique.
Springing into the air, he began to manipulate a series of hand signs with precision.
"Water Style: Water Bullet Technique!" he exclaimed. The result was a rapid barrage of water bullets unleashed from his mouth, akin to relentless machine gun fire.
With the incoming onslaught of water bullets, Naruto swiftly reacted.
In a fluid motion, he extended his hand in a sweeping gesture. The already frozen water, now an ice shield, responded to his command.
Morphing and shifting, it coalesced into a robust barrier of ice. As the torrent of water bullets sped toward him, they met the unyielding resistance of Naruto's icy defense, each impact absorbed by the formidable barrier.
Landing decisively in front of Naruto, Kisame executed a ferocious swing of his sword with unrestrained power.
The ice shield, once formidable, yielded to the impact and shattered.
Yet, his senses alerted him to an unseen threat. A lightning-charged fist collided with his sword, prompting an anguished cry from Samehada itself.
The sheer intensity of the blow proved nearly overwhelming for the sword, such that Kisame had narrowly averted potential disaster.
Had he not swiftly repositioned his blade, the punch might have found its mark, delivering a potentially lethal blow to his neck. As this perilous exchange unfolded, beads of sweat began to manifest on Kisame's brow, a testament to the precariousness of the situation.
Undeterred, the onslaught continued. Another punch found its mark against Samehada, its unrelenting force propelling Kisame downward.
The earth quivered beneath the impact, a testament to the immense energy being unleashed. A substantial crater emerged around Kisame's figure, in the aftermath of the collision.
Emerging from the remnants of the crater,
*Crack*Crack*
a testament to the bones that had been fractured upon impact. With a determined grip on his sword, he commenced the process of self-healing. Drawing upon the chakra within the blade, Kisame deftly began the mending of his injuries.
In mere moments, his wounds yielded to the sword's restorative power. The expanse of his body, once marked by damage, was restored to a state of health and vitality.
A grin crept one Naruto's face as he fixed his gaze upon Kisame.
"You have a good sword, but it won't save you this time," he said.
Naruto advanced toward Kisame, a wide and exuberant grin stretching from ear to ear. An unmistakable thrill coursed through him, as he was clearly relishing the engagement.
Engaging in a series of intricate hand seals, Naruto anchored himself with both hands upon the ground.
"Ice Release: Frozen Surface," he whispered, setting into motion a torrent of concentrated icy chakra that emanated throughout the vicinity.
From the very spot he stood, a pervasive wave of freezing chakra propagated outward.
It took mere moments for the ground beneath him to succumb to frost, and with remarkable velocity, the freezing phenomenon surged across the encompassing landscape.
Trees became ensnared in crystalline prisons as the ice rapidly consumed them. Like a painter crafting a canvas, the surroundings transformed into a frozen tableau. An extensive layer of ice, measuring two meters in thickness, took form, encasing the environment.
In response, Kisame's instincts kicked in. Recognizing the imminent danger, he vaulted into the air, propelled by the urgency to escape the encroaching frostbite.
As his eyes scanned his surroundings, they widened
A frigid dominion had emerged, asserting its supremacy over the once-verdant terrain.
An entire half of the forest succumbed to the icy embrace, rendering it an expanse of frozen splendor. Towering trees, formerly symbols of life, now stood imprisoned within colossal ice sculptures.
Kisame was acutely aware that Naruto stood as his most formidable adversary. The knowledge that Naruto possessed the capability to freeze his water-based jutsus cast a foreboding shadow over their confrontation.
As he soared through the air, Kisame's gaze shifted downward, only for his heart to plummet in tandem.
The frozen landscape was undergoing a sinister transformation, the ice beneath morphing into an array of menacing spikes.
Naruto's dominion over the ice on the ground was undeniable, an extension of his chakra that yielded to his every command.
This mastery granted him the authority to shape and wield the ice according to his whims.
With Kisame still descending from the air, Naruto fixed his gaze upon him, a glint of death in his eyes.
"Let the game of cat and mouse begin," he uttered, his hands sweeping upwards in a fluid motion.
The ice spikes, now under his command, ascended into the sky, converging to encircle Kisame. Fueled by Naruto's chakra, the spikes became a relentless cascade, surrounding Kisame in a frosty embrace.
Kisame swung his sword, a relentless effort to shatter the onslaught of ice spikes. Yet, his attempts were met with a surprising twist—the destroyed spikes began to reform, persistently chasing him down.
He relentlessly brandished his sword, obliterating the spikes in his path. However, the tide seemed unceasing, a torrent of ice threatening to engulf him entirely.
Surrounded by a landscape of unyielding ice, Kisame's movements became hindered.
His very footing was compromised by the frozen ground beneath him. In response, Naruto executed a swift one-handed sequence of hand seals, his intent clear.
"The Thousand Stinging Needles of Death," he intoned, invoking a technique that harnessed the lethal potential of the ice spikes.
He spoke in a low, ominous voice, and in response, a myriad of ice needles sprouted forth, an unyielding manifestation of his intent.
These needles, imbued with an insidious sharpness, possessed the potential to penetrate anything that dared stand in their way.
Swoosh—a resolute surge filled the air as the needles surged forward, converging upon Kisame.
His eyes widened, a mix of apprehension and determination flashing within them. He commenced a desperate endeavor to deflect the incoming onslaught, yet the sheer number of needles overwhelmed his defenses.
One after another, they found their mark, breaching his defenses and impaling his body. With each piercing impact, they left minuscule voids in his bones and sinews, a trail of blood staining the pristine snow beneath him in an unsettling red hue.
Kisame know his end was near, he had done so many wrongs in his life but his last wish was that he could die on the battlefield, and his wish was soon going to fulfilled.
Naruto looked at him, but he din't say anything,
With an explosive surge of chakra channeling into his feet, Naruto propelled himself into the air.
He cast his gaze downwards upon the frozen expanse of the forest and, with a series of hand signs, summoned forth a voluminous sphere of water.
His left hand brushed the surface of the sphere, channeling his water chakra into it, causing the sphere to expand and swell until it engulfed half the forest in its aqueous embrace.
The colossal water mass cast an imposing shadow, its darkness descending upon the snow-draped landscape.
Stretching across a radius of five hundred meters, Naruto's hand connected with the water mass.
His voice resonated with a low command, "Freeze."
In an ephemeral blink, the expansive water sphere crystallized into an icy monolith, encapsulating the essence of motion.
"Fall," Naruto uttered, his hand sweeping downward.
Like a titanic boulder composed of solid ice, a colossal meteorite plummeted from the skies, its weight and might casting a sinister aura.
The atmosphere quivered and contorted around the plummeting mass, and with a cacophonous impact, the immense ice-rock struck the earth below, obliterating everything within its destructive path.
The moment of impact triggered an earth-shattering quake, unleashing devastation upon the terrain. The ground convulsed, and a profound stillness followed as debris filled the air.
The shockwave propagated outward in a relentless torrent, leaving a trail of obliteration in its wake. Naruto gracefully descended onto the colossal meteorite, surveying the shattered and frozen realm that lay before him. Amidst the chaos and icy desolation,
"This is the beauty of ice" he spoke to himself, his voice a mere whisper against the chilling wind,
His gaze lingered upon the aftermath, a testament to his power over this frigid domain. Satisfied with the spectacle,
