Chapter 38 - Chapter 40 (1/2)
”Here we are. This is your new home.” Dragon opened up the slide doors to his house and beckoned Jūgo to go inside.
”It's big.” He looked around in what was the hall that Dragon and Naruto spent most of their early day's training.
”Ye, this is essentially the martial arts school in its entirety. Your personal room is upstairs, I will show you later.” The hall had a tiny kitchen that Dragon had turned from a closet filled with dust to a nice space dedicated to the creation of tea.
”Let me make some tea and then we can start talking about your kekkei genkai.” Dragon disappeared into the little room that he had all his tea stuff in.
”DAD ARE YOU HOME NOW??” A boy slammed the door open and then slammed it shut behind him as he simultaneously rushed into the hall. Surprisingly this was a very smooth action, performed like a total master with a side of badass. The thing that ruined his image was his high pitch voice.
”huh? Who are you? Where is my dad?” Naruto didn't come halfway inside before he spotted an orange-haired young man standing inside the ring used for sparring.
”C..c..chakra.. N-NNOO! Ma..master. D. D-Dragon..” Jūgo fell down on his knees grasping his head in fright and anger.
”H-Hey! Are you okay? What happened to you? And how do you know my dad's name?” Naruto ran up to Jūgo but he was stopped by the boy himself.
”NO, STAY AWAY!! AAAAH” Jūgo screamed trying to fight the feeling rising within him. He had no idea what gave rise to this feeling. He felt and incredibly powerful and destructive chakra around the yellow haired boy and it seemed to trigger his killing intent.
”Let me go find my dad.” Naruto was trying to rush upstairs where his dad might be. But he didn't make it far before the feeling of death appeared behind him.
”SHIT!” Naruto jumped to the side just in time to dodge the fist of Jūgo that buried itself within the floor where Naruto had just been.
”Hey, you can't come into someone's house and then attack them. Dad said that's very rude.” Naruto said and looked at Jūgo that had lost all control.
”Guess we gonna have to do this the hard way.” Naruto and Jūgo dashed at each other at the same time and clashed in mid-air using their fists.
”KILL!!” Jūgo put more force into it and forced Naruto back with pure strength. As Naruto flew and landed a few meters away, Jūgo's body started to change in multiple places. A grey fluid came forth and became like a second skin, or more accurately an armour on his body.
”This just became a much more difficult fight.” Naruto looked around for anything to use, but he saw nothing that would help so he readied his fists.
”Come on then!” Naruto said and dashed forward in a pretty decent speed.
”KILL!!” Jūgo was faster so he appeared in front of Naruto and punched him in the face before the yellow haired boy could react. He was thrown back and hit the wall of the house, hard.
”And here I thought I was strong enough to do this without haki. Guess not.” Naruto closed his eyes to concentrate and Jūgo didn't care if they were open or closed. He dashed at Naruto again and this time tried to grab his throat.
”Not this time.” At the last second, Naruto tilted his head and punched Jūgo directly on the chin making him crash into the ground and he slid a few meters on the ground.
”Now the real fight can start.” Naruto jumped after Jūgo and grabbed his leg and prepared to slam him on the floor.
Jūgo that acted fully on instinct felt Naruto's hand holding onto his foot and he quickly used his other one and kicked the boy. Naruto was forced to let go and defend against the kick with both arms.
”You hit hard!” Naruto massaged his hands that took the full force of Jūgo's attack. Both had gotten up again and now they were staring at each other.
Naruto and Jūgo dashed at each other, but only one of them had real killing intent spreading from their body.
Their fists met and a small vibration was spread out and cracks started to form on the ground beneath them. They both pushed against each other and Jūgo won in both speed and physical strength so Naruto had to become creative.
