32)Foxy Adventures: Ch.32

Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!

Water Style: Water Wall!

The moment Sasuke spat out a large fireball that scorched the grass, the water at Suien's feet surged upwards to form a thick wall in front of him, steam hissing into existence as the two elements cancelled each other out.

Sasuke frowned as he readied himself, watching as the steam began to fade before his eyes widened as Suien blitzed at him with a wide grin and a water blade that was spinning widely.

Taking out a kunai, the boy gritted his teeth as Suien swung down, the electricity around his kunai barely blocking off the harsh torrent trying to rip it apart.

“Come on! The Uchiha are supposed to be the strongest, right?! So show me this strength!”, The man exclaimed as he pushed down and Sasuke dropped his kunai while spinning to the side, dodging the blade and delivering a high kick that Suien blocked while catching the kunai behind his back.

Kicking off the man's arm as he finished his spin, Sasuke threw his last two kunai only for Suien to easily parry them, the man raising an eyebrow as Sasuke reached into his pocket and threw a trio of shuriken at him as well.

Easily dodging around the shuriken as he saw the electricity sparking around them, the man rushed in with an axe-kick and the teen dodged backwards before his arms as Suien stomped at him.

However, the Jounin's eyes widened when Sasuke pulled at the wires around his hands, manipulating the shuriken through the air and wrapping the wires around the Jounin with a grin.

Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!

Weaving through four hand signs, Sasuke's chakra surged as he unleashed a wave of flames erupted from his form, racing along the wire towards Suien as the man realized his mistake too late.

A blazing fire engulfed the man's form, evaporating both water and mist as the Uchiha kept the flames up for a few moments before snuffing them out, staring at the cloud of steam obscuring his foe from view.

It wasn't long though before numerous water tentacles were fired from the steam, Sasuke's Sharingan flaring brightly as he spun and maneuvered around most of them.

However, one managed to sneak past his guard and he gasped as it impacted his chest, sending him crashing through a wall and skidding across the ground.

Sasuke was not given time to rest as Suien launched himself through the air, the Uchiha's eyes widening at the water spikes falling down and rolling out of the way.

“I'll admit that you're pretty strong for your age,” Suien began as he landed on a nearby house, glaring down at his opponent while a layer of water clung to his body like armour while his water blade reformed in his grip.

“However, I wanna see how it lasts against my tides.”

“Did you practise that in the mirror?”, A voice spoke up from the side and Suien turned to see Karin standing on a house beside the one he was standing on with a smirk, glaring at the girl before turning forward just in time to see Sakura helping Sasuke up.

“So, it's a group affair now?”, Suien asked as he shifted his footing, the tentacles rising from his armour like snakes before Sasuke growled as he brushed Sakura's arm aside.

“I…don't need them. This fight's between us,” The Genin spoke and Suien just raised an eyebrow before grinning as he nodded while both girls frowned.

“Very well. Then, let us dance,” The moment he finished speaking, the roof shattered as Suien launched forward, three of the tentacles already whipping ahead to strike.

Sasuke's body blurred to the side as he ducked under a tentacle, flipping over the second before tilting his head in time as the third snapped for his head.

Landing in a crouch, the young Uchiha shot forward with a punch aimed at Suien's right side, the Jounin spinning to block it with the flat of his blade only for it to be a feint as Sasuke pulled his fist back and delivered a powerful blow to his left instead.

The blow made the man stumble back as before his armour pulsed, sending out a tentacle that wrapped around his leg before flinging him to the side.

Flipping over midair and landing on a rooftop, Sasuke grinned as he rushed forward once again, watching as Suien did the same before the two clashed.

Sasuke weaved through a barrage of slashes and tentacles, meeting each strike with a burst of electricity from his hands and feet to parry them from him.

He kept himself on the move as the tentacles began to speed up, sliding under their swinging attacks and hopping from wall to wall to try and attack from above.

Suien on the other hand was like the tides as each block and parry were powerful yet precise, his water tentacles dancing and whipping around his body to defend any blindspot the man had while also attacking from impossible angles.

“Not bad, Uchiha!”, Suien exclaimed as Sasuke leaned back from a tentacle trying to hit him from below, kicking upwards at Suien's chin as the water blocked off the attacked and absorbed most of the impact.

“I want! to say the same! But you're far weaker! than the Jounin! I'm used to!”, Sasuke grunted as he parried the blows, ducking under the rest as Suien frowned before hopping back with a smirk.

“Very well. Let's see your Sharingan keep up with this!”, He shouted as he rushed in and Sasuke's eyes widened as the man was now fighting at his fullest. His increased power was not the only issue as the tentacles now had serrated edges and the blade in his hand was changing with every clash, lengthening and curving mid-swing to throw off his timing.

'C-Crap! Come on, Kakashi! Where the hell are you when you're needed?!', Sasuke thought as he ducked under a slash, being forced to parry another tentacle slash from below before hissing as the edges cut into his hand.

“Hahaha! Come on, Uchiha! I thought I couldn't keep up?!”, Suien asked with a sadistic smile as he thrust his water blade forward, rapidly extending its tip and making Sasuke dodge to the side before gasping as another tentacle came from below and clipped his right ankle.

Sasuke gritted his teeth as he forced himself through the main, twisting mid-dodge under the blade to let it graze his shirt before reacting with a roundhouse from inside his guard that sent a burst of lightning chakra through the man's body.

The Jounin's body seized up for a moment just enough for Sakura to attack with a flurry of shuriken, most of which were ricochet by the water armour while the rest delivered shallow cuts along his face as Karin picked Sasuke out of the way.

“Bite!”, Karin spoke as she held her hand in his mouth, Sasuke not complaining as he bit down and felt his wounds closing up while rolling his eyes at Karin's pleased groan.

“Uh, guys, I think he's not so happy anymore,” Sakura spoke with a frown as she landed beside them, levelling a glare at her female teammate who gave a smug smirk back before they looked up to see Suien stalking towards them with a glare.

The water armour rippled and bulged around him as the blade hissed, each step leaving puddles of water as his chakra made it hard to breathe.

“You really think this is a game?”, The man snarled as he held his blade, the three genin feeling wary as his voice was low and enraged. “You three gnats think you can fight a Jounin just because you landed a lucky hit?”

“That lucky hit stunned you for a second and even if we're gnats, why do you look so pissed off?”, Sakura asked with a glare, the other two readying themselves as Suien gave a sharp smile.

“Because gnats shouldn't draw blood.”

“I couldn't agree more,” A voice spoke coldly from behind him and Suien spun with his blade held just as a fist covered in sparking lightning impacted it.

The man screamed as the electricity paralyzed him, Kakashi pulling his Lightning Blade back and pulling out a kunai as he slashed outwards. His attack barely cut through the armour and deep into Suien's side before the water tentacles lashed out, Kakashi letting go and hopping back only for Sasuke to charge in as the Jounin knelt.

Sakura and Karin were not too far behind as the trio charged at the man, who staggered to his feet while his water tentacles did their best to keep them at bay.

However, the three were a synchronised machine as they moved around the tentacles with precise movements, Sakura kicking outwards while flipping over a tentacle as Karin leapt over her and was boosted further up over a trio of tentacles that tried to hit her.

Sasuke spun around another while grabbing Sakura's outstretched hand, pulling her away from another tentacle and throwing her towards Karin, who caught her while being carried out of the way of another tentacle thanks to their momentum.

“Team 7! Formation Thousand Birds!”, Kakashi shouted as he rushed forward, creating a Shadow Clone that he grabbed before throwing it towards the girls.

The clone flipped over a tentacle and caught them both, throwing back to the ground as a tentacle stabbed through his heart while all three Genin nodded as Sasuke slowed down.

Kakashi rushed in with a kunai and slashed at Suien's neck, who blocked the attack with a glare before Sakura came in from the side with a double stomp.

A tentacle easily blocked the attack and pushed her back, but she just grinned as she backflipped and Karin rushed in from below, delivering a sliding kick that took his right leg from under him.

That gave Kakashi the opportunity to attack as he delivered a heavy punch to the man's wound, making him hiss before the Leaf Jounin ducked under a tentacle and grabbed at Suien's legs.

Chidori!

Sasuke was a blur as he shot forward, Suien's eyes widening as Kakashi lifted him up right as the Uchiha came in with a sparking fist that punched a hole straight to his chest.

Ripping his lightning fist out and flipping out of the way, Sakura peppered Suien's body with numerous kunai that each had an explosive tag before Karin activated them.

“Hahahaha!! Art is an EXPLOSION!!”, Karin explained as she spread her arms wide with a manic grin just seconds before the world went white.

The ground cratered beneath the force of the explosion as it tore apart everything in its path, fire and smoke billowing upwards towards the leaves of the large tree while debris rained down on the surrounding area.

The shockwave of it also sent all four Leaf shinobi skidding backwards, Kakashi and Sasuke steadying themselves as Sakura shielded their eyes while Karin laughed like a maniac.

'Yep! Just like Naruto. All of the Uzumaki are just explosion maniacs!', Kakashi thought with a sigh as Karin laughter began to fade away while the smoke dissipated, but his eyes widened while the Genin groaned as a finger stumbled out of the smoke.

“You…You fucking bastards!”, The man snarled, his water armour burned away and his body covered in severe burns. Yet, that did not stop the rage that echoed in his voice and his bloodshot eyes glaring at them with vengeance.

“Oh, come on~ That would have been enough to kill any shinobi! Just die already!”

“Y-You! You thought that was enough to kill me? Me?! Hehehehe! Hahahahahaha! Ahahahahaha!!”, The man's manic laughter did not put Kakashi's worries at ease as Suien looked ecstatic before his eyes widened when the Jounin flipped through five familiar hand signs.

Summoning Jutsu!

Twin monstrous clouds obscured Suien from view as Kakashi cursed, the genin looking shocked as the smoke faded away to reveal the cackling Suien standing on a giant gray catfish with white markings and long spiny whiskers and a black koi that was equally as large.

“You! Are going to regret taking me! For a fool!”

Summoning Jutsu: Bring Down the House!

Karin and Sakura looked relieved at the familiar voice that shouted from above, Suien looking up before his eyes widened at the sight of a giant magenta toad falling down onto him.

His two fish looked just as surprised as they swam back through the air, letting the toad crash into the ground with a deafening boom.

“Alright, Team 7! Have no fear for Team Naruto is here!”, Naruto exclaimed with a grin as he stood on top of the toad with his arms crossed, Kakashi just giving Shizune a sympathetic shake of his head as the woman sighed.

“Naruto, it's Team Shizune,” Hinata reminded him and the blonde just gave a sheepish smile before looking forward as Suien spoke up.

“More gnats from the Leaf?! Don't you people have anywhere else to be?!”

“Not really! Now, why don't you surrender and I don't have to kill you?!”, Naruto shouted back and Suien glared, but as he went to shout, the man turned to the side as another voice spoke up.

Summoning Jutsu!

Another cloud of smoke equally as large as the ones of the fish appeared on the side, Naruto raising an eyebrow while Suien frowned before scoffing at the sight of a crimson catfish with white markings that was large as his summoned one.

“Suien!”, Shibuki exclaimed from where he was standing on the catfish, but Suien grinned as he saw Shibuki's chakra flaring and visibly rolling off of his body.

“The Hero Water, Shibuki?! Colour me impressed!”, The man exclaimed, to which Shibuki just glared before Naruto spoke up.

“Okay, last chance, bud!”

“Go to hell!”, Suien shouted in response and Naruto smirked as he cracked his knuckles, the Jounin's eyes widening at the red chakra bubbling from Naruto's body as well as the chakra tail that formed behind Naruto.

“Fine, your funeral. Gamaken! Take on the koi! You! I'm leaving the other catfish to you!”, Naruto shouted as Gamaken charged forward, twirling his sasumata before holding his sakazuki-like shield up to block the koi's initial charge.

The moment the two connected, Naruto shot forward and across the arm of Gamaken, hopping onto the koi's head as Suien reformed his water armour as well as a pair of water blades around his fists.

It was only thanks to the water that he survived the first attack, wheezing as Naruto's fist slammed into his chest and sent him flying backwards.

“Time for an ass-whooping.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Time for an ass-whooping,” I muttered as I lowered my fist, watching as Suien wrapped a tentacle around the black koi to pull himself back while holding a hand against the wound on his side.

It was a lot harder to stay standing on the koi fish that I was expecting as it bucked wildly to try and throw me off while also rapidly dodging Gamaken's attacks at the same time, but I managed to steady myself as the man rushed forward.

Wind Style: Vacuum Blast Barrage!

Swinging my head from side to side, I spat out a storm of air blades that Suien was forced to dodge around since the first one cut through his left water blade with ease, but my target was not him.

Instead, the wind blades kept flying and cut deeply into the back of his catfish, giving Shibuki and his catfish the opportunity to take it out with a high-pressured water jet while Suien turned back to me with a glare right as I shot forward.

I reached into my pouch and took out two kunai as Suien met my charge, parrying his first strike upwards while slashing at his chest. He blocked the strike before pushing it to the side, spinning and stabbing at my back as I ducked under it and slashed at his leg.

Cutting deep into his ankle, I rolled to the side as he stabbed down before stabbing into the back of his knee and leaving the kunai there, rolling to my feet and hopping back as he slashed wildly while falling forward.

Water Style: Liquid Bullet!

Taking a deep gulp of air, I spat out a large water bullet that impacted his chest, sending him flying backwards and right into Hinata's path as she slammed a powerful palm into his back.

Rushing in as blood and spittle flew from his lips, a Rasengan formed on my palms as I ducked under his desperate slash before driving both into his chest, watching as the water armour was torn away immediately.

“Rasengan Barrage!”, I exclaimed as I pushed him down onto the koi, which shrieked as the chakra maelstrom pushed down onto it and smashed it into the ground.

Standing up while staring at Suien's body lying on the fish, the koi dispersed and let the three of us fall down, my chakra tail coming around and catching him while both Hinata and I landed with ease.

“Okay, then. Is everyone okay?”, I asked as I turned around and Sasuke just sighed as Kakashi spoke up.

“As good as we can be.”

“No problem. Now…who's gonna pay us?”

A/N: I didn't want to make Team 7 look like a bunch of weaklings so I had them work together to take on Suien while Kakashi attacked from behind to try and deliver the final blow.

Once again, this is a weaker Kakashi that has not trained enough to get strong, but he is still quite strong so I gave them all their chance to shine.

As always, read, enjoy, review and until the next one…

Ba-Bye~!!
