Naruto: The Jumper twin .

POV: NARRATOR

The air on the training grounds grew thick with tension, each breath sharp and heavy. Menma, Naruto, and Toneri spread out instinctively, their gazes locked on Shisui. It had been a few minutes since the 3vs1 spar had began. His calm smile was more unsettling than any war cry, and his Sharingan spun lazily, like a predator toying with its prey.

"Together," Toneri said, his voice cold and measured. It wasn't a suggestion—it was a command. He had a slight bruise on his face.

Naruto nodded, cracking his knuckles as chakra threads started wrapping around his fists. "Yeah, no way I'm rushing in alone again. That hurt."

Menma flexed his fingers, his chakra flaring faintly. "Oh well, i think a rib is broken."

Shisui took a single step forward, his movements so smooth they barely disturbed the ground. "If this is the best teamwork you've got, this'll be over in seconds."

Toneri moved first, light erupting around him as his chakra surged. A blinding beam shot toward Shisui, fast enough to scorch the air. But Shisui disappeared in a flicker, reappearing above Toneri with a kunai in hand.

Menma didn't wait for instructions. In an instant, he jumped, teleporting behind Shisui mid-air. "Gotcha!" he growled, driving a spinning kick toward Shisui's ribs.

The kunai clashed with Menma's boot as Shisui blocked the strike effortlessly, twisting in mid-air to counter. Before Shisui's attack could land, Naruto appeared beneath them, his chakra-boosted fists launching upward like rockets.

"Take this!" Naruto yelled, aiming to smash Shisui between himself and Menma.

But Shisui was already gone, his afterimage dispersing like smoke.

Toneri narrowed his eyes, already predicting the move. "Left."

Naruto pivoted instantly, sending a chakra-enhanced kick toward Shisui's new position. For a brief moment, Naruto's attack seemed to connect—but Shisui dissolved into another afterimage, leaving Naruto striking nothing but air.

"Too slow," Shisui's voice came from behind him, followed by a sharp strike to Naruto's side that sent him skidding across the field.

"Naruto!" Menma yelled, his fists clenching. Without thinking, he teleported directly in front of Shisui, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks. His movements were erratic, almost wild, each strike accompanied by short, flickering jumps that made him harder to read.

Shisui's Sharingan tracked every movement, his body dodging and deflecting with an ease that bordered on infuriating.

"You're improving," Shisui said, his tone almost playful. "But you always go for angles you think I won't notice."

Menma gritted his teeth, the frustration boiling over. "Then stop noticing!"

He jumped again, this time reappearing a few feet away to throw a kunai laced with an explosion tag. Shisui caught it mid-air, his Sharingan glinting as he threw it away from him.

*Boom* an explosion went off as the kunai with the explosion tag hit the ground.

"A distraction? You'll have to—"

Menma was gone before Shisui could finish. He reappeared directly above, slamming down with an axe kick.

Shisui blocked it with a single arm, his Sharingan locking onto Menma's flickering chakra. "Better. But not enough."

Before Menma could react, Shisui grabbed his leg and flung him toward Toneri.

"Menma, move!" Toneri shouted, his hands forming a rapid sequence of seals. The air around him shimmered as a massive sphere of condensed energy formed in front of him.

"Don't hit me with that thing!" Menma yelled, twisting mid-air to teleport just before Toneri unleashed the attack.

The sphere roared to life, hurtling toward Shisui with terrifying speed. The ground cracked beneath its path, and the surrounding air rippled with the force of its energy.

Shisui stood still, watching the attack approach. At the last moment, he moved—a blur of motion that seemed impossible to follow. He reappeared just outside the sphere's path, letting it slam into a distant boulder and explode with a deafening roar.

"Not bad," Shisui said, brushing the dust off his sleeve. "But Toneri, your technique's too linear. It's powerful, but predictable."

Toneri's expression hardened. He didn't reply, but his chakra flared again, his body glowing faintly.

Meanwhile, Naruto staggered to his feet, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth. "Okay, this guy's pissing me off. What's the plan?"

"Survive," Menma muttered, his mind racing.

Shisui didn't wait for them to regroup. He disappeared again, reappearing in front of Naruto with a palm strike aimed at his chest. Naruto barely managed to block, the impact sending him sliding back.

"Stay focused!" Shisui barked, his tone sharp. "You're not fighting children."

Naruto growled, charging forward again, his chakra blazing like fire. "You are literally beating up three kids! Did your mother raise you like that?"

Shisui's eyes flickered with anger for a brief second and shot towards Naruto with a slight smirk on his face.

"Me and my big mouth." Naruto cursed silently.

Naruto made thick chakra threads and used them like whips to create enough distance away from Shisui.

Menma teleported into the fray, this time aiming a kunai at Shisui's ribs. Toneri followed a second later, unleashing a barrage of smaller energy blasts to box Shisui in with gentle fist palms to fill the gaps.

For a moment, it seemed like they had him cornered. Shisui's movements slowed, his eyes darting between the three attackers.

And then his Sharingan gained one more tomoe making them two, spining faster than before.

In an instant, Shisui was gone, his afterimage standing still for just long enough to bait them in. Menma's kunai passed through nothing, Toneri's blasts slammed into empty ground, and Naruto's chakra-coated threads shattered an illusory clone.

"Behind you," Shisui's voice came from nowhere.

Before any of them could react, Shisui appeared in the center of their formation, hitting their heads with an allout roundhouse.

Menma hit the ground hard, coughing as he forced himself up. His body ached, but his mind was sharper than ever.

"We can't beat him head-on," he muttered, looking at the others. "We need to throw him off."

Naruto nodded, wiping sweat from his brow. "I think I might have to use the fox's chakra."

Menma's lips curled into a determined smirk. "Just don't use to much or you might lose control. Give him too much to handle. Fakeouts, distractions, everything we've got. And if that doesn't work, I've got one last move I've been working on."

Toneri raised an eyebrow. "Care to elaborate?"

"No time," Menma said, standing. "You will know when it's time ."

The three of them regrouped, their gazes locking on Shisui, who stood in the distance with an almost bored expression.

"Ready for round two?" Shisui asked, his tone mocking.

Menma's smirk widened. "Oh, go fuck yourself."

The air around them thickened once more, charged with the intensity of their next moves. Menma's chakra flared, as he removed his last two kunai from his weapon pouch and wrapped a number of explosion tags on each. Naruto, his eyes narrowing, took a deep breath. Toneri stood poised as he fixed his blindfold.

Shisui's smile never faltered. "I do enjoy seeing you all try. But remember, this is my domain."

Without warning, Menma was the first to move. His body flickered, vanishing in an instant as he teleported toward Shisui at blinding speed. Shisui reacted with his usual calm precision, his Sharingan following Menma's every movement—but Menma wasn't aiming to land a direct blow. Instead, he appeared just behind Shisui, kunai in hand, not to strike, but to throw it as a distraction. The kunai sped toward Shisui's face, but it wasn't just a simple attack.

Toneri's hand flashed through a series of seals. The moment the kunai flew, a wave of energy pulsed from his body, a shockwave designed to disorient and push Shisui off balance. It wasn't much, but enough to make him hesitate.

The kunai hit its mark, grazing Shisui's cheek. Just the smallest cut, but it was enough to leave a hint of blood in the air—a detail not lost on the trio.

Naruto, sensing an opening, surged forward, his chakra threads erupting from his body like whips. Each lash crackled with energy as he swung them toward Shisui, aiming to entangle him and restrict his movements. But Shisui's Sharingan was already in motion, calculating, predicting, weaving through the threads like water flowing around a rock.

Menma teleported again, this time behind Shisui, his fist aimed for the back of his head. But in a blur, Shisui spun, his arm intercepting the punch and twisting Menma's wrist with unnatural ease. Menma gritted his teeth, trying to pull away, but Shisui's grip was vice-like.

He tried jumping but the teleportation would just bring Shisui along since he was holding his arm.

"You think speed is your advantage?" Shisui's voice was a whisper, his tone almost pitying.

With a fluid motion, Shisui slammed his foot into Menma's chest, sending him crashing to the ground. The force of the impact created a small crater beneath him.

"Menma!" Naruto shouted, his chakra flaring as he leapt forward, pushing more chakra into his threads, trying to bind Shisui's limbs. But again, Shisui was gone in an instant.

"This ends now." His words echoing on the battlefield.

Toneri rushed in as he gathered an absurb about of chakra in his hands draining half of his reserves instantly.

"Toneri, no!" Menma shouted from the ground, his voice strained. But it was too late.

Toneri hurled the sphere with a fierce yell, the energy compressing and becoming a spear of destructive force that screamed through the air toward Shisui.

The sphere hit Shisui head-on yet he could have reactedto it, sending a shockwave that split the air and shook the ground beneath them. Dust and debris billowed outward, masking the field in a thick haze.

And then, just as quickly as it came, the attack was gone. Shisui stood in the center of the smoke, untouched, his chakra visibly flickering around him. His smile was almost too calm, considering the explosion they had just unleashed.

"Predictable," Shisui said softly, and his hand dropped.

Their attempts to regain composure were fruitless as Shisui's eyes locked onto them with a terrifying focus.

Naruto, still panting from the exertion, growled through clenched teeth as his whisker marks became more prominentand his nails grewithi claws. "This isn't over!"

"Oh, but it is," Shisui replied, voice cutting through the tension. "Your teamwork is commendable, but you're all far too predictable. Even now, your minds are already set on the next move, but you're too sure of yourselves."

Menma's eyes flickered, narrowing. His body ached from the constant hits, but his resolve only hardened.

He teleported again, vanishing into thin air, but this time he didn't appear where Shisui could predict. Instead, he reappeared several yards to the left, just as Toneri launched another set of energy blasts, all aimed at different angles. Naruto's chakra threads, now reinforced with the fox's chakra, lashed out in all directions, cutting through the air like whips of lightning.

The coordinated chaos was meant to overwhelm him. To confuse him. For a moment, it worked.

Shisui's eyes darted between the trio, watching as their attacks came from multiple angles at once. But his smile never wavered.

"Interesting," Shisui murmured, .

The next move was the last, and Menma knew it. With a hard exhale, he focused the entirety of his chakra into his right fist, his body shifting with unnatural shockwaves as he jumped in short distances.

"NOW!" Menma shouted, his voice barely audible over the roar of the battle.

Shisui's Sharingan flickered once more, analyzing. But this time, it was too late.

The ground beneath Shisui's feet cracked as Menma appeared infront of him and punch landed, amplified by the chakra surging through his body. A wave of energy erupted outward, an explosion of raw force that sent Shisui skidding across the field.

For the first time, there was a flicker of hesitation in Shisui's eyes, a brief moment of uncertainty.

And that was all they needed.

"Now!" Naruto and Toneri shouted in unison.

The final phase of their plan had begun, and this time, they weren't giving Shisui the chance to recover.

A light red chakra tail appeared from Naruto's back and his growls became more animalistic. He charged on all fours.

Toneri charged the rest of his reserves into his palms as followed suit.

And to add a finishing touch menma jumped a few kilometers back and put his hand on a giant boulder and jumped right above Shisui.

Shisui rolled away as the boulder landed but before he could get his bearings naruto and toneri hit him. Causing his body to go through the boulder.

After the joint attack, Naruto and Toneri fainted due to fatigue and chakra exhaustion respectively while menma was finding walking difficult due to dizziness and disorientation from the multiple jumps.

As the smoke cleared a figure appeared. Shisui's kimono was damaged with the bandages covering his arm loose showing a whit pale skin tone.

"Do you ever stay down?" Menma asked as he fell down with no energy to get up.

" The first win is always the hardest one." Shisui chucked.
