"You say that like it's going to be easy. Do not forget that I happen to be a Jonin-level shinobi Naruto-kun," Kabuto stood up all the way as he finished healing, he knew now that he could not afford to take Naruto lightly.
"Could you stop calling me '-kun', seriously it's creepy enough when Gai and Lee call me that, but at least I know they're straight…" Naruto paused. "Well Lee's straight seeing as he has a crush on Sakura. Anyway, the last thing I need is for someone who likes to be used as an ass muppet for some pedophilic snake with a fetish for little boys to call me that."
Kabuto scowled, "Don't talk about Orochimaru-sama like that! You can't even hope to understand his greatness and power!"
Naruto grinned, "You know from the way you're defending him it seems like I've struck home. Perhaps there is more to what I said than I thought, seeing as how you never denied my accusation."
Kabuto rushed Naruto, moving surprisingly fast. The blond was more than glad he had trained with Jiraiya who was far faster. Reacting before Kabuto could get too close, Naruto sent several kunai at him, already beginning two sets of hand seals using one handed seals for each hand.
"Kunai Kage Bushin No Jutsu! Raiton: Kaminari Shuriken!" The kunai quickly multiplied into several dozen right before they all burst with lightning that rained down at Kabuto as they passed.
The medic-nin was forced to do his best to dodge the attacks, allowing Naruto enough time to make several clones that he sent out to engage Kabuto.
Shizune looked at her master and sighed. She had managed to clean all of the blood off of her master, but Tsunade was still not responding to any outside stimuli. She looked at her Achilles tendons which were now healed if a bit swollen. Despite her proficiency as a medic-nin she was not as good at healing muscle groups as she was other areas.
She looked back over towards the battle, worried about whether or not Naruto would need her help. She was pleasantly surprised to find that he seemed to be holding his own against Orochimaru's right hand man. She watched as Kabuto was sent sailing backwards and rolling along the ground. Shizune was sure that if Kabuto were not a skilled medic-nin, he would have fallen by now.
Tsunade had likewise taken to watching the battle, not that she could do much else. With her being completely incapable of actually moving any muscle in her body, and having already been facing the area of the battle since the beginning, she was naturally subjected to watching the fight play out. When she had first met the blond she had been utterly enraged by his attitude and the disrespect that he showed her. However, when they had their first battle, she had been completely caught off guard when he showed that he was more than he looked. It also did not help that in that first battle, he had reminded her so much of both her younger brother and her dead lover that it almost hurt.
She had then watched him train after the bet and was once again shocked by his method, using Kage Bunshin to speed up the process of his training, as well as how he had created a Rasengan using a Kage Bunshin to help his control. Tsunade had been even more impressed when he did not use that same method of mass Kage Bunshin training to actually use the Yondaime's prized jutsu one handed, but rather attempted to accomplish it the honorable way.
"Man look at that! Naruto-nii is kicking some serious ass!"Gamakichi watched with a grin on his face.
This boy reminded her so much of the two people she had cherished the most that she could practically see them standing behind the blond; from their dreams to become Hokage, to their determination. Tsunade clutched the necklace around her neck, Just one more time. Let me believe just one more time.
As soon as Kabuto had defeated all of the clones Naruto came back into the picture, launching a kick into his opponents gut. It was to Naruto's shock that Kabuto turned into a pile of mud, Damn it!
Naruto twisted to the side as Kabuto came up behind him using the Mogurakure No Jutsu. He managed to dodge a potentially fatal blow, but was still hit in the arm. He hissed a bit as he jumped back, letting his left arm dangle limply.
"You see now don't you?" Kabuto asked in a mild tone, "You're no match for me, you may be able to compete with some of the Jonin out there, but not one of my level."
"Keep talking buddy. It will only make the look on your face that much more priceless when I wipe it off," Naruto tried to stall for time as his impressive healing factor worked his magic.
"I suppose I'll just have to beat you even more to prove my point," Kabuto activated his scalpels again and moved to engage Naruto.
The blond soon found himself on the defensive as he did his best to keep out of reach of Kabuto's scalpels. Using a modified version of the Hebiken that Anko used. He was fortunate it was different enough from Orochimaru's standard style that Kabuto could not use the Snake Sannin's taijutsu as a basis or Naruto would have been hit by now. As it was Naruto was able to dodge all of the incoming attacks while his arm finished healing.
Ready to fight back Naruto made a Kage Bunshin and Kawarimi'd with it, giving him a small amount of breathing room. As Kabuto charged towards him Naruto came up with a plan to beat the medic-nin.
