Chapter 70 - Akatsuki in Action! [2] (1/2)

Clang!

The sound of swords colliding was heard as the Sword of Whirlwinds and Samehada hit each other. Naruto saw the two intruders, one was a man he already knew and the other wasn't, to him, it looked like a humanoid animal.

Retreating after that, Naruto's trademark smile beamed over his face ''Yo, Zhin! How is your brother doing? Man, it was a long time since I last saw him!''

''...'' Zhin and Kisame fell in complete silence before the former snapped and went towards Naruto with full strength as he roared ''I'll avenge my brother!''

''Nope.'' Naruto said while swiftly dodging his attack and thinking 'If I punch out of the Inn and it breaks the wall, would people mind? Well, I'll just do that and if someone comes to annoy me, I'll act innocently.'

As Naruto dodged, he felt a deadly threat at his side, as such, he didn't hesitate before stepping back slightly and then, he disappeared, teleporting behind Zhin, his body spun a bit before Naruto gave a solid, powerful kick to the man's right side of the abdomen, sending him away.

Crash!

Zhin was sent out of the Inn through a good and powerful kick, Naruto didn't hesitate before following, the blue-skinned man was about to attack but seeing Naruto running out of the Inn through the destroyed wall, he followed.

''NARUTOOOO!” Zhin shouted in pure anger before running towards Naruto again, it seemed that after seeing the person he hated the most, the man lost a bit - or all - of his sanity.

The black-colored aura enveloping his body became thicker, in an instant, he appeared behind the blonde teenager, that reacted by turning around and raising his arms.

Naruto was sent flying for at least five meters before he hit a store, scaring the shit out of everyone that was around, standing up, Naruto wiped the blood flowing out of his mouth before smirking 'This... this is getting fun!'

His eyes seemed to shine for a few moments before noticing why the humanoid animal wasn't attacking, Jiraiya was holding him back 'Ah... Now I'll be able to fight the Twin Creep freely...' Naruto thought before deactivating the One-Tail Cloak.

'Kit? Why are you deactivating it?' Kurama was curious, that opponent was stronger than Naruto's current strength in all ways, even through speed.

Naruto shook his head 'I want to fight someone stronger than myself without considering Ero Sannin, he's a perfect 'subject', you see?' he said inwardly before putting his Sword back on its sheath as a pale azure-colored breeze flew around his body.

'The Frog Kata is incomplete without Natural Energy, even if weaker, I just needed to find a way to make it work...' Naruto thought.

Swooosh!

Air shifted slightly as Naruto disappeared from his location and appeared in front of Zhin, that punched towards his direction, Naruto knew that with his own strength, he was under the man, however, at this moment, Zhin's movements were weird, as if the strength boost made him lose consciousness.
