Naruto: Legacy Undone

"So the snake was right huh? We really are gonna have to fight them all." Naruto frowned.

Ryoko nodded. "Yeah. I get ya. Kinda hoping to avoid this headache too huh?"

"Yea." He grumbled. He was still going to win. He'd be damned if he lost to gennin after everything he'd been through but it was still gonna be a tough fight.

They made it to their corner of the makeshift ring, going clockwise from their left there was an Iwa team, Haku's team a Kumo team an Iwa team, another Kumo team and finally the last two Iwa teams before coming back around to them.

The proctor made it to the center of the ring. "Are all the teams ready to begin?" He panned his eyes around him to see if there were any objections. "Take note that this is your last opportunity for any last minute preparations or objections if you're injured or ill."

"Come on start already!" Kurotsuchi growled, glaring out from where she stood between Akatsuchi and slightly behind her father.

"Who do you think's gonna win? I heard those two from Kiri are really strong."

"We'll win of course." She scoffed as though it were obvious.

"Why are you so sure though?"

"Because Aka!" She huffed. "We've got more teams. That Kiri team isn't even complete, the leaf team have a pip-squeak for a third member and the Kumo teams are nothing special."

"How do you know!"

"I...shut up I just do!"

"Are you...uhh...what was the word..."

"Posturing." Kitsuchi threw back helpfully with a smirk over his lips.

"Yeah! That!"

"I am not!"

-0-

"Begin!"

The proctor jumped back, towards the edge, vanishing from the center.

For a while, no one really moved.

Then, with little more than a smile and a wink as a warning Naruto took off to their right, making a bee line straight for the two Iwa teams.

"Hey! How many Iwa teams does it take to take down one gennin!?" He laughed, all but frolicking towards them.

Kyofu and Ryoko nodded. Evidently Naruto was determined to take the lions share. They'd have to be quick with theirs. He was strong. But he was still only six.

The two girls split up and rushed their own enemies.

Kisame laughed. "Now that kid knows how to have fun!"

"Its arrogant of him." A snorted, casting a sideways glance towards Orochimaru. "I expected better from the so called Death Dealer. Was it brash tactics like this that brought you to heel Onoki?"

Koutou snorted in laughter. The man was bold. But to criticize brash tactics when he just insulted his host and another dangerous Shinobi was rather bold faced by anyone's standards.

Orochimaru couldn't look more bored.

Naruto smiled as he swerved mid run, avoiding a hail of thrown shuriken as he rushed headlong into the six gennin.

The first one that reached him tried to kick.

The blond rolled beneath it, came up behind the boy, latched onto his back like some demon gremlin from hell, climbed up higher, using chakra to keep himself in place before he solidly boxed the gennin's ears. The slap of his hands and the additional wind chakra he'd infused into his palms, rushed into the ear canal and instantly ruptured the eardrums and disrupted inner ear functions.

The gennin screamed, clutching at the now bleeding ears before tripping over himself, the vertigo hitting him a second later as he tried to hold down his stomach.

Naruto laughed as the other gennin shouted out their anger at the injury of their teammate.

The whole group attacked this time.

Naruto grinned, tensing his muscles as wind chakra danced around his limbs a gust picking up around him before this side of the ringwas blanketed in a dust storm, swallowing the seven gennin instantly and hiding him from view.

Up above Kisame was giggling under his breath like an idiot. Snickering through his teeth. "Boxed...ears...Haha. Can't say I woulda thought of that."

"Konoha's wind elements are rare." Mei said contemplatively. "He seems to have a remarkable grasp of it given his age. He didn't use hand seals to cause the dust to rise." She looked to Orochimaru in askance.

The Sannin would have flatly ignored her altogether, if Koutou hadn't chuckled, taking his cue to step in on her behalf. "Trained him well did you Oro?"

"He's always picked up things quickly. Wind has come very naturally to him." He offered...absolutely nothing at all really.

Meanwhile, Zabuza and Kisame were making their own entertainment.

"Kimimaro's already taken down one."

"And done jack with the other two. Haku's ripping her three to pieces."

"She'll cut them up good but she'll be tired by the time those pin pricks take down any of em. Betcha she'll need help for chakra exhaustion after this is over.

Bet your boy's gonna be running around chasing his enemy for the duration of his fight."

"He'll still get em."

"Like a rushing bull eventually has to crash into something."

Mei sighed, irritated.

"You're blessed with two wind elements it seems." Onoki grunted, drawing everyone's attention towards the silver haired Ryoko, who's strange weapon was now nearly three times its previous size, four razor sharp blades spinning rapidly in her hand as she stalked the three Iwa gennin in front of her like prey.

The girl's weapon spun almost languidly in her hand. She seemed confident, and while that could definitely be true given that it was a gennin, it could just as easily be a blustering bluff in the face of three oponents. If she waited very long the gennin might come up with a decent enough strategy to attack her with.
