Naruto frowned as Kakashi blocked his kicked, before moving into counter attack him with a thrust to the solar plexus. Naruto twisted his body to the side as he dodged the attack, before spinning on his feet and launching another kick at Kakashi. The two had been fighting for around fifteen minutes now, which in the shinobi world a long time. Neither had gotten a good hit on each other, however Naruto had not just been fighting with no plan. The entire time he had been analyzing his opponent's moves and reaction time given to Kakashi by the Sharingan, and decided it was time to take it up a notch.
The battle began to play a different tune as Naruto switched styles, where before his moves were fast but predictable. Now his moves had turned into his name sake, coming at speeds that very few would ever be able to match and at angles that were impossible to predict; in other words Naruto's attacks became a literal maelstrom.
After Naruto had reviewed his battle with Sasuke and studied what he could find on the Sharingan, Naruto had realized that the Doujutsu had one major flaw. They were susceptible to attacks that had no style to them. Every fighting style always had a set of stances that one would attack from, the most obvious being the ready position for the Gokken that Gai and Lee used. This is what allowed the Sharingan to predict an opponent's attacks, and make effective counter attacks by showing them where the chakra was going to be next. But if there was no style of fighting used, then the attacks would be impossible to accurately predict, since not even the one they were fighting knew what they were going to do next.
The 'style' Naruto was now using, could be considered more of a lack there of. It was a style that he had created, with the help of Jiraiya. It was Naruto's counter to the Sharingan, though he had never used it on a Sharingan user before. Still he figured now would be the best time to unveil this style, rather than wait until he ran into Sasuke or Madara and used it them, only to find out it didn't work.
Naruto threw the cyclopean Jonin a punch to the solar plexus, when Kakashi went to swat the hand away however Naruto changed tactics. Moving his hand under the Kakashi's he grabbed it and pulled the jonin into a knee, Kakashi was able to counter it however he was not able to do anything when Naruto switched tactics again. Moving his leg up, then down and smashing a foot into Kakashi's stomach, bending the cycloptic jonin over as he attempted to regain his breath. He got back up and was just in time to dodge another attack, only to get hit by a punch that suddenly came at him from under the other attack.
"Holy Shit!" Kiba shouted as he watched Naruto kick Kakashi's ass, "when the hell did Naruto get so powerful!"
"You do realize that Naruto is an S rank ninja right?"
Everyone turned their attention to Jiraiya, "as good as Kakashi is he is still only A ranked. And while Kakashi has more experience, Naruto is quite simply better and sometimes that's all one needs to win. Hell even with all my experience I still only win half the time whenever we spar all out, even then that number is going down."
Everyone stared wide eyed at the white haired Sennin, going back to the battle they all had to wonder just how powerful was Naruto?
The taijutsu battle continued as Kakashi found himself completely on the defensive, he had not been able to even get in one counter attack ever since Naruto had changed tactics. Even his Sharingan was working against him, showing him where Naruto was going to be only to be proven false as Naruto switched attacks at the last second. Said blond came at Kakashi with a knifes edge to the throat, the cyclopean jonin tilted his head to dodge. Only for Naruto to make a fist as he passed by Kakashi's head, said jonin was sent flying as a great amount of force smashed into his cheek.
Kakashi managed to flip himself in the air before he landed on the ground, and skidded back about twenty feet. He winced as he felt the stinging on his cheek, wiping his hand along his mouth he looked at it and saw that he was bleeding. "How did you hit me?" Kakashi asked with a mixture of pride and curiosity in his voice.
"I didn't," Naruto said with a smirk, seeing his sensei's confusion he decided to elaborate. "When you dodged my attack I merely added my wind element and released it as my fist passed by your head, it made it seem as if I hit when you when in truth you dodged."
"Tha-that's ingenious!" Asuma spoke as his cigarette dropped from his mouth in shock, every turned to Asuma. "To use wind chakra in such a way… it's like the perfect counter to the Sharingan."
"What do you mean?" asked Ino who had seen what Naruto did, but was not exactly sure what it was she was supposed to be seeing.
"He calls it wind fighting," Jiraiya answered for Asuma, making the Konoha eleven look at him. "Naruto took the basics that he had heard about of Tsu-Hime's super strength technique, however rather then put all his chakra into a single tenketsu point and releasing it at the point of impact. Naruto uses his wind chakra and continuously pumps it through his tenketsu to make a more wide scale attack, without losing any of its power."
Many people could not help but feel shocked as they looked at Naruto, who was currently smirking.
"So that's lesson number one, taijutsu," Naruto said with a smirk.
Kakashi gave him an eye smile, "then we'll be going on to lesson number two, genjutsu." Kakashi went through a few hand seals before he and everyone else disappeared.
Naruto looked around curiously as he wondered what was going to happen.
"N-Naruto…"
Naruto turned his head and despite knowing this was a genjutsu felt his heart lurch, standing in front of him was Yugito. However she was missing her left arm, one of her eyes was hanging out of her socket and she was pierced with a sword threw the stomach.
"N-Naruto why couldn't you save me?" she asked with a set of accusing eyes. Before he could respond another voice spoke up.
"You betrayed me."
Turning around Naruto saw that it was Mei this time, she was lying on the ground with several scimitar style swords pinning her to the ground. "You left me to die," she stared at him with a set of accusing eyes that bored into his soul.
For a moment Naruto could not even think as he felt his heart stop, it was only years of training that allowed him to remember he was in a genjutsu. Acting quickly before he could see his other two loved ones, Naruto stopped the chakra to his coils before flooding it with an intense burst of power. The genjutsu shattered as Naruto came back to the real world, he looked over at his sensei and glared. "That was a cheap trick sensei," Naruto stated in a dead tone.
Despite feeling an intense shiver run down his spine Kakashi spoke up, "well we are ninja, and we use whatever we can to win."
Naruto grit his teeth for a moment before sighing, Kakashi was right after all. "I suppose, then allow me to introduce you to my favorite genjutsu." Naruto held out his hand and a set of seals began to glow along his arm and ring finger.
"Kongangyou No Jutsu! (Bringer of Darkness)"
"Th-that's Nidaime-Sama's most powerful genjutsu!" Kurenai said in shock, "Naruto is suppose to be terrible at genjutsu, so how can he do this?"
"Fuiinjutsu," Jiraiya answered her question, "because Naruto is unable to do genjutsu he tried to find a way around it. He did this by creating several seals, one that creates a specific set of hand seals for certain genjutsu he thought would be useful, and another that simulated perfect chakra control so that he could use the genjutsu."
Everyone as shocked when they heard what Naruto had managed to do with seals, no one had known what they could do. Except the typical sealing scroll and exploding tags, that Naruto could get rid of one of his weaknesses by using seals was incredible.
