93 Loss

*BAAANG!!!!*

Kisame growled angrily after he was punched in the face before he swung Samehada at Naruto who had the sentient sword slam intothe side of his ribs.

Naruto spat out blood before he disappeared in a puff of smoke, revealing that he was just a Shadow Clone.

*BOOOM!!!*

Kisame stumbled forward as he was punched in the back by the real Naruto who disappeared a second later after the attack. The shark man's murderous intent was leaking out of him uncontrollably.

He had been attacked by Naruto in this hit and run pattern for the last minute now. Being in a smokescreen, he couldn't see really well and the blonde took it to his advantage.

'He's faster than before but I don't see any of the Kyuubi's chakra around him. Is it a Jutsu or something?' Kisame thought as two of Naruto's Shadow Clones appeared on both sides. Kisame skillfully dispatched the both of them before a small group of Shadow Clones appeared out of nowhere and surrounded him.

They all threw kunai that had explosive tags attached to them. Kisame raised Samehada and spun around once while swinging it wildly, intending to deflcte the barrage of kunai away with one large swing.

But it was all apart of Naruto's plan as just as Samehada deflected the first explosive kunai, the rest exploded all around him, creating another giant smokescreen from the explosions.

Kisame snarled angrily as he got on guard again, the blonde's battle prowess was not to be underestimated at all. He was so livid he didn't even realize Naruto's Kyuubi's chakra enhanced fist tearing through the smoke until the very last moment, which was when it hit him in the face.

*BAAAAANG!!!!*

Kisame was blasted back by the punch. He crashed through several buildings in the town before he tumbled violently on the ground. Kisame didn't waste anymore time and stood up.

He looked at Naruto who had Kurama's chakra surrounded his right hand. It then receded back into his body. Kisame noticed that the blonde had wind spinning around his body. He also noticed that Naruto had yellow lightning dancing throughout his body.

"What the hell? Is he combining two chakra natures together?" Kisame mumbled. Naruto raised his fists and entered his combat stance.

" It's called Swift Release by the way. I combined Wind and Lightning natures together to make it happen." Naruto muttered, making Kisame widen his eyes.

"The hell? He has his own Kekkei Genkai?" He wondered.

'If me having my dad's kunai doesn't give Iwa nin PTSD, then maybe Swift Release will. It's faster than the Body Flicker and I literally become a blur with it. Taijutsu is useless if they're not fast enough to react to my attacks. And I'm not even at full speed yet.' Naruto thought as he clenched his fists tightly. Yellow lightning crackled violently around him as Naruto disappeared in a blur.

Kisame widened his eyes, not seeing that coming at all. Multiple fists appeared around his face as he quickly tried to block them all. He failed in that task as the fists were attacking him from very awkward angles.

Kisame was punched in the face multiple times as he looked at Naruto standing in front of him. He growled and weaved through multiple hand seals.

"Water Style: Exploding Water Shock Wave!!!"

Kisame shouted before spitting out a great volume of water from his mouth. The of water created is proportional to the amount of chakra used.

Kisame literally created a small ocean with the Jutsu. He rode the wave by standing on the water, moving towards Naruto at high speeds. Naruto narrowed his eyes as Kurama's chakra surrounded his body again.

He weaved through several hand seals and leaped up to the air. He took in a deep breath before he performed his Jutsu.

'Katon: Gōka Messhitsu!!!'

Naruto converted his kneaded chakra into fire and expelled a massive stream of intense flames at Kisame. The attack set the vast area ablaze, engulfing the shark man in a violent sea of flames.

Kisame sliced through the flames with Samehada, absorbing the chakra in it in the process. He escaped the attack and found himself surrounded in steam created from the clash between fire and water.

He saw something flying towards him at high speeds and narrowed his eyes at it. He widened his eyes as it was Itachi.

He immediately put down Samehada and caught the male Uchiha. He looked down at Itachi and saw that he had blood flowing down his nose and mouth.

He looked up to see Satsuki walking towards them with a serious expression, her Three Tomoe Sharingan flaring dangerously at her older brother.

"I'm fine, Kisame. Deal with the Jinchuriki." Itachi muttered in his monotone voice as he stood up straight. He looked at Satsuki who raised her left hand.

"No matter what you do, I will never live a life of hatred, Itachi. Being consumed by hatred was what lead to the clan's demise." Satsuki glared harder at him as she finished her last sentence.

'Does she know? No, that's impossible. Lord Third promised me that he wouldn't tell her about it, even if I suddenly die.' Itachi though while narrowing his eyes at his little sister.

"Chidori...." She whispered as birds chirped loudly before her left hand was covered in highly concentrated lightning. She flowed chakra to her legs, enhancing it before she made a run towards Itachi.

"Die!!!" She shouted as she thrusted the Chidori towards him. Itachi who was waiting for her to get close go him, suddenly moved and grabbed her leg arm, pushing it away.

*SHIK!!!*

Satsuki widened her eyes as blood flowed out of her mouth. She felt pain in her chest and looked down to see Itachi stabbing a kunai straight in the middle of her chest.

Satsuki suddenly smirked as she looked back up at Itachi.

"Lightning Style: Shadow Clone Jutsu." Satsuki who was actually just a lightning infused Shadow Clone, reverted to its natural lightning-state, electrocuting Itachi at the same time.

Itachi spasmed as he staggered back a little, the real Satsuki suddenly appeared behind him with the Chidori shining brightly around her left hand.

"Goodbye, Itachi."

*PSSSHHH!!!!*

Satsuki's left hand tore through the center of Itachi's chest, puncturing his lungs and making a big hole on the middle of his torso.

Itachi coughed out a lot of blood as he glanced back at Satsuki. He looked into her eyes with what looked like a betrayed expression.

"Why.... Satsuki...."

Satsuki widened her eyes in horror as the scene changed. She was under a Genjutsu this whole time, and the one she stabbed wasn't Itachi, it was someone precious to her and also someone she would never ever harm.

"N-naruto? Wh-what are you doing h-here?" Satsuki stuttered out, her absolute horror clear in her eyes and words. Naruto coughed out blood before he smiled at her.

"I....could say the same... to you...." He wheezed out as he pulled himself away from Satsuki. Her legt hand slid out of his body as he fell onto the ground with his back facing the ground.

Satsuki knelt beside him as she looked at him. "I'm sorry.... I didn't mean to—

" Shh.... It's alright....I know you didn't..... I'ma just....go take a nap.... " Naruto whispered while caressing her face. He smiled as he closed his eyes, his hand dropping onto the ground and laid there lifelessly.

Satsuki stared at Naruto with a horrified expression. She started shaking him. "Oi... Naruto.... Wake up...." She muttered while shaking him. She received no response.

"Wake up you idiot... This isn't funny....Just wake up!...." Satsuki whispered as her body starting shaking as soon as she saw the large hole in the middle of his chest, blood spilled out of it and started creating a small puddle of blood on the ground.

There was no reply, Satsuki was in denial. Itachi appeared a few meters away from her and looked down at her.

"No....." She whispered shakily as tears started flowing down her eyes and onto Naruto's shirt.

"I can't lose you too... I didn't even get the chance to tell you that I..." Satsuki started crying out loud as Naruto laid there with a smile on his face. Kisame landed beside Itachi and winced a little as he saw the scene in front of him. "Itachi you cruel bastard, I was just beginning to enjoy my fight with the Kyuubi brat ya know. " Kisame commented but Itachi ignored him.

"This is the shinobi world, Satsuki. People die everyday. You should take this loss as a learning experience. Hatred is the way of the Uchiha, you should know that already."

" Shut up.... "

" My foolish sister, I told you to curse me, hate me. Look at what happens when you let go of your hatred, you get weaker and weaker as the days go by. You're suffering now because you have ties with other people. Feel pain, embrace it. "

" Shut up.... "

" You're weak, Satsuki. You're not worth my time but you keep chasing me. For you it's suicide, but your life is not worth taking."

Blood dripped onto the ground, but it wasn't Naruto's.

"Foolish sister. When you have the same eyes as I do, then you're worthy enough to challenge me. "

" I SAID SHUT UP!!!!"

Satsuki looked up at Itachi with pure killing intent in her eyes. Suddenly, a wall black flames that burn as hot as the sun itself wrapped around the whole street, leaving no room for Itachi and Kisame to escape.

Satsuki stood up as blood flowed out from her eyes. Itachi widened his eyes as he stared into his little sister's eyes.

She has the Mangekyo Sharingan now.
