Naruto : Uchiha : Chapter 85

"...by any means necessary." he whispered the last of his mentor's words and closed his eyes for a moment before glaring down at the ground.

He still had the advantage.

...

He knew of her skills, but she didn't know of his as much as he did of hers.

He had made sure of it and kept his reserves intact during their battle.

She was an Uzumaki, so this was most probably an Uzumaki seal.

And Uzumaki sealing techniques - he was well versed in.

A small smile lit up his face even as the ground underneath his feet lit up - the kanji lit up, to be precise.

But that was besides the point.

Just before the kanji started wrapping up around his ankles, his hands formed the Dog seal and held the Boar seal while he he felt himself getting paralyzed when the he was covered head to toe in Kanji.

"This is a high level paralysis seal, Uzumaki sealing style no doubt. I don't feel any pain so no torture triggers, but I have lost all control over my body. It is cutting off my consciousness from the rest of my body to paralyze me in place and anyone else who might be in range.

She most probably needs me alive for some reason or the other." his summarizing ended when the source of all his problems appeared from the corner of the streets in all her glory.

Now, with the light here illuminating his enemy a lot more than before, he could see her crimson hair going down her hips and her violet eyes - eyes that were a lot more darker than Mito's, he noted to confirm him of her heritage.

But the menacing smile on her lips was almost palpable.

He couldn't let her do whatever it was she wanted with him.

He would most probably die, or worse…

"Naruto-kun…" her soft coo made his heart twist in agony when she was within a foot's distance in front of him.

She knew his name, now that was truly bad.

Holding onto his composure as best as he could, he was quite glad that his Sharingan and the chakra he had molded were still intact.

She had been careless enough not to put in chakra suppression seals in the sealing matrix. Granted, the seal matrix would have become a lot more taxing with sub elementary seals included seeing the scale of her technique.

But it was better to be safe than to be sorry in his opinion.

And by the pride of his teachers' teachings, she was going to be sorry for this little mistake.

Her violet eyes adoringly stared into his menacing crimson ones while he glared down at her with all his might.

Helplessly, for the time being he felt her hand sliding up from underneath his shirt and onto his skin in a manner that could be called harassingly seductive to some…

Disgust didn't even begin to describe what he felt when she pressed her lips onto his cheek for a kiss before letting her tongue do it's work on it, slowly and almost painfully - to him at least.

"I'll have so much fun breaking you. That is, before I unleash your true potential my love…" her soft purr in his ear didn't ease him in the slightest.

He prayed with all his might that his counter technique worked. The molded chakra responded from this hand seal while he wasn't molding it consciously.

And he prayed she didn't open that hand seal…

It was all he could do for now…

More like he couldn't do anything more than to will it awake by conjuring up all his spiritual energy into triggering his technique.

Just a trigger - that was all it was going to take.

He didn't even flinch when a chain pierced his abdomen, shying a hair length from fatally wounding his liver while she clawed her nails into his chest to draw a few trickles of blood.

Tobirama had made sure, that pain didn't affect him in the slightest.

And the man was downright sadistic in that department.

He had been quite…thorough in the pain endurance training his disciple had been put through - out of Mito's knowledge.

The man didn't want him losing a fight because he couldn't endure some pain.

This wasn't even training if he compared to how Tobirama would rip him apart through various ways when he had been merely a little child.

Well, now that he thought about those days - it could be called torture endurance training if he was honest with himself.

Nonetheless, his master had been right.

It was coming in handy today.

"You really are my type, not even flinching from pain. Yes, now I see what he sees in you…" another chain stabbed his right shoulder with her words but he was unfazed.

It was only a matter of time.

But he was storing away all this information for the time being.

She wasn't the only one, someone had sent her.

"Muh, but you could act like you're in pain…" she whined childishly, hugging him like a teddy bear while he bled from his wounds quite a bit when she pulled the chains out from his body.

She let him bleed for a while longer. He didn't need to be dead per say…

Just a little close to it would be fine…

Yeah that would do it!

When she sighed in defeat, he sighed in relief on the inside.

But his eyes did widen seeing her pull out a small syringe from her frock's pocket.

The black thing filled up in it's glass vial sure didn't look like she was giving him a vaccine for cold, that was for sure. And he sure as hell didn't want that non prescribed injection to be stabbed in his body right now.

"Let's unleash your potential then and cut straight to the chase, I've prepped you up quite enough. No point in killing you, it would be such a waste…" he knew that those stabs were the preparations she was referring to.

As soon as her free palm cupped his neck while she let her other hand pull the syringe closer to his neck, he knew he had run out of time.

But just in the nick of time, his trigger came and he smirked - confusing the girl quite a bit at the sudden change of emotions he was displaying.

Was he starting to enjoy this just like her?

That would be fun…she mused while putting a finger on her chin in thought

"Lightning Style-" he rasped out, her eyes widened when she heard those two words but it was too late for her to react to what followed next.

Willing the huge amount of chakra he had conjured up beforehand, his hand seal converting it into lightning chakra all the while she was marinating him - he let it go in inwardly.

Into his nervous system to be exact.

Many would find his actions suicidal in the current situation, but the line between crazy and genius was a fine one indeed - at least he believed it to be so…

It was a matter of opinion in all honesty.

A silent scream escaped his lips when each and every nerve in his body was jolted by thousands of volts of electricity as his technique was activated - from the inside out.

Pain endurance or not, though it was only thanks to that, that he was still conscious - it hurt like hell.

Cocking his fist up to the stupefied girl's stomach, he buried it and expelled his conjured up lightning chakra straight into her body.

The violent spasms of her body did make him smile a bit - if only for a bit.

She had after all dared to do those disgusting things to him.

No one touched him like that.

And he let the conjured chakra burst in a focused beam to throw her back, and away from him.

"B-But how, how can you move?" her pained whisper didn't even prompt him to answer her while he cracked his sore neck that she had gripped like a log not even a moment ago.

Watching her curling up into a ball, no doubt in pain - he felt no remorse.

Just indifference.

Now she would know it did hurt, even if he didn't show it.

Still covered in the Kanji of her technique, Naruto walked proudly - hiding any signs of the enormous pain he was experiencing each moment now and increased the chakra input into his technique.

Her high level paralysis seal was still activated.

But he was moving as if nothing was wrong with him.

At least not on the outside…

Blue lightning sparkled around him in a show of glowing sparks, a small booming thunder echoed in the streets while his hair stood a little from the static he had let out as soon as it reached it's peak voltage.

"You don't have to know how. Just know that I did." with that said, he bolted off - literally, he ran off in a bolt of lightning. His insane speedy movements leaving a trail of blue light behind him.

Naruto knew he didn't have much time. As soon as he would let this draining technique drop - he'd pass out from shock at the pain he was experiencing right now.

Otherwise he would have stopped to finish her off.

But tomorrow was another day.

Even if he could subdue the pain for now, it did affect his body and especially his mind as much as it would any other person.

His nervous system was now connected to his subconscious mind, and that was what had him running on his primal instincts right now.

The inward jolt had served to complete it's purpose - he was faster, had insane reactive instincts and coupled with his Sharingan - he was nigh untouchable.

But as with every technique, it had it's drawbacks.

As soon as he'd let his technique drop, he would pass out from the pain.

It was a crude imitation of the revered Lightning Armor wielded by the Nidaime Raikage. But he didn't have the inhumanely resilient body the Raikage possessed to endure the strain of this technique.

To think, the man used this with his much more potent Black Lightning and wasn't even affected by it - Naruto envied that man's resilient body.

This was the reason that even if one could replicate the man's technique, no one else could use it without this huge of a draw back.

Had he had that kind of a body, his nerve synapses electrocuted with this technique to create involuntary and blinding reactions of their own accords to anything considered dangerous would make it the perfect technique for him.

With the Sharingan to go along with it, he knew only the Hiraishin would be able to trump him in combat.

But it was a moot point, something impossible - just wasn't possible.

But he did have this fail safe in case he got trapped like he just had and had to run out.

After all, he was covering ten minutes worth of distance at normal speeds in a minute and a half, give or take.

But for the time being, especially against paralysis techniques - he had devised it to be the Achilles Heel against every damn one of them - be it ninjutsu or fuinjutsu.

But Tobirama had forbidden him from using it completely. Seeing how much he damaged his nervous system in it's aftermath after it's trial run a couple of years back.

Naruto scoffed inwardly, his mentor really one was to talk about forbidden techniques - the point itself was laughable.

He was a walking scroll labeled boldly as 'FORBIDDEN' from top to bottom.

Half a mile outside the village, Naruto saw two familiar figures and sighed in relief when his eyes saw who the two silhouettes really were.

He was running out of chakra after having kept it up for fifteen minutes already.

And had he mentioned that it hurt like a bitch?

He probably had…

But it did hurt like a bitch - that was a fact.

Duy and Sakumo almost fell down on their faces when a bolt of lightning thundered down in front of them with a deafening boom.

Both blinked owlishly seeing Naruto powering down his technique while the sparks surrounding him disappeared.

His hair remained in their position though.

One of the reasons he didn't like using this technique mind you…

And the black dots in his vision came up almost right at that moment as his eyes reverted back to their blue counterparts and Duy caught him from falling face first into the ground.

"Run." was his last whisper to his friend before unconsciousness claimed him.

Sakumo and Duy didn't need to be told twice.

Both boys bolted off, straight to Konoha with no signs of taking any stops in between - almost without a thought.

Seeing Naruto being carried like that on Duy's shoulder, Sakumo felt a deep regret for not even being able to go for help when he had most probably had fought the battle of his life.

Duy's crimson spandex covered shoulder that was wet from Naruto's bleeding and tapered body did increase that feeling ten fold.

He had been right.

That fool just did not listen.

"I told that reckless idiot not to go." his soft mutter was picked on by Duy, who smiled sadly seeing the pain and regret flashing in Sakumo's eyes that he was failing so miserably to hide.

"But he wouldn't be Naruto if he didn't. Our friend is just too youthful to listen to you Sakumo. Yosh!" even in this situation, Sakumo couldn't stop the laugh he let out hearing Duy return back to his energetic self.

Especially that 'yosh' part.

Even unconscious and bleeding, none of which were fatal - for which he was thankful for - did Naruto stop making troubles for him.

And it was then that Sakumo finally realized one thing…

"But I would have to make the report when we get back"

The joyful laugh that Duy let out hearing that made Sakumo want to murder his teammates himself…
