Chapter 49: Fusion of Forces | Chapter 49
Team NNPR's duo of best friends was meanwhile trying their best to land any sort of hit on Torchwick's boss who was keeping them at bay and far from her with her outlandish control over Dust, in this case being Fire element Dust. Nora seemed to have suffered quite a few hits from the stuff, the outer parts of her outfit being a little burned while Ren was quickly running out of steam having to dodge and maintain some form of attack while also helping out his childhood friend when he could.
Pyrrha and Ruby seemed to be more than capable of keeping Torchwick on the ropes, if his look of irritation was anyone to go by. Weiss and Yang could use some help, and Naruto knew from experience that the only way to get the upper hand on the ice cream themed girl was through speed. However the biggest threat was no doubt the head honcho herself. Even Naruto would admit that Nora and Ren working as team Pancake was a force to be reckoned with and for this woman to so easily keep them at bay spoke volumes about her own skills.
His mind working a mile a minute, Naruto finally decided on what he thought was the beat course of action, "Blake, go help out Yang and Weiss. The only way to beat that girl is to out-speed her."
Deciding to wait till after to ask how her blond friend knew that, Blake nodded and quickly leapt into the fray, grabbing her weapon from her back and already moving to provide her teammates with much needed back up.
Pulling out his own weapon, Naruto was soon jumping into the midst of the fighting himself. Vanishing from normal human eyesight, the blond made a bee line for his own teammates who looked ready to collapse any second now. Blurring through a series of one handed hand seals, the Jinchūriki appeared in front of the downed duo of friends and called out, "Suiton: Suijinheki (Water Release: Water Formation Wall)!"
To everyone's surprise a massive torrential wall of water rose around Naruto, Ren, and Nora, protecting the three teens from the stream of flames that had been aimed at them. In the face of such an insurmountable defense, the raging flames sputtered and died, turning into vapor and clouding the area with a fog.
'If I'm gonna stop hiding all the time, I guess it's ok to start busting out the jutsu, right Kurama?'
'Bout damn time Kit! Let's show these people how we do it!'
What happened next had everyone in the area holding their ears to block out the screeching noise that began to grow louder and louder with each passing second. In seconds, strong winds began to blow throughout the wharf, dispelling the fog in seconds and revealing a grinning Naruto holding something that none of the spectators had ever seen before.
Spinning wildly and held above of his head was what looked to be an overly large shuriken made entirely of pure wind. At the center of the deadly looking attack was a glowing blue sphere that sat in the palm of the blond Jinchūriki's hand. With a casual heave, Naruto tossed the violently whirling attack and called out, "Fūton: Rasenshuriken (Wind Release: Spiraling Shuriken)!"
Fearing what such a devastating looking attack could do if it actually hit, the wide eyed woman dodged out of the way of the oncoming shuriken and even still the near gale force winds that surrounded orb of death were able to produce cuts in her dress and even cut shallow trenches into her calves.
As the spinning attack flew past everyone and into the waters in the distance, Naruto finally allowed his control over it to be cut and the consequences of that action had everyone staring in awe at the results. The winds that had been the makeup of the attack rushed outwards, creating waves that slammed into the concrete barriers of the pier and even then, the winds managed to whip into those on the battlefield with enough force that they had to actually exert force so as to not be carried away.
Meanwhile as the core of the attack detonated, blades of wind capable of cutting into an enemy on an atomic level, slammed into the waters below, churning out colossal waves that further flooded the already wet wharf.
Around them the sounds shipping freights scraping across the ground as they were forcible pushed back by the concussive waves of air echoed across the wharf.
Finally, as the backlash of what Naruto had just unleashed receded, the villains decided that fleeing was the best course of action, hopping into a nearby helicopter that was quickly attempting to escape the dangerous blond.
Uzumaki Naruto did not give up that easily though and was already speeding through another set of seals. Right as it looked like the group of criminals had escaped, he unleashed a torrent of flames from his mouth, "Katon: Karyū Endan (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet)!"
On board the escaping heli, the group of criminals began to panic as the roaring maw of dragon made entirely of flames closed in on them, intent on bringing them to a burning grave. Rushing to one of the side doors, the mysterious leader conjured up her own wall of flames, the fearsome inferno that had taken on a draconian image slamming full force into her own blazing attack.
The resulting explosion rocked the escape vehicle and the nearby shipping containers and yet still they managed to escape, however not unscathed.
'That boy...I need him on my side even more now. He is far too powerful to not and I will have him, one way or another.'
Sighing as he watched the escaping hunk of metal, Naruto shook his head, 'This is gonna come back to bite me in the ass, I just know it.'
'More than likely. However at least they now fear you and know that messing with you or those around you would not be a smart move on their part. It may stop them and help us later on down the road,' Kurama spoke.
Turning around, the blond was quick to realize the amount of devastation he had caused with only three attacks, none of which being his strongest either. What made it worse were the dumbfounded looks his own team and team RWBY were sending him.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOXY!?" Yang shouted as she flailed her arms about in a manner none too unlike her younger sister.
"I found you Ruby!"
Said scythe wielder screamed in shock, "Ah! Penny! What're you doing here!?"
Soon after the blaring sounds of sirens along with the bright lights of search lights flooded the pier.
'Maybe I should have just stuck to the whole half truth thing.'
'You and I both know that this is way more fun though.'
'Says the fox whose idea of fun is destroying villages.'
'Not my fault you ningen make everything so fragile'
'...this is gonna be a loooong night.'
