" Wait and see." said the jonin, pulling out a few kunai.

"Water Style - Teppanyaki!" Hinata said, firing several water balls at the jonin.

He jumped to the side to avoid it and threw a kunai with an explosion charm on it at Hinata.

Hinata dodged the kunai and the explosion created a cloud of smoke. Using the smoke as cover, Hinata created a shadow clone and activated her Byakugan.

She used her Byakugan to easily navigate around the smoke and found the jonin who was concentrating on observing the smoke, trying to find any signs of her.

Hinata took out a few poisonous Senbon and threw them at the jonin.

Even though he was a jonin, his reflexes weren't enough to completely dodge the tiny senbon.

Senbon scratched the jonin.

Although his quick reflexes allowed him to avoid Senbon's fatal blow, he was still infected by the poison, which he didn't know yet.

"Bitch," the jonin cursed, charging at Hinata.

"Earth Style: Earth Spear!" A piece of mud rose from the ground and formed a spear. The jonin grabbed it and threw it into the smoke.

He heard the piercing sound and grinned, thinking he had hit her.

The smoke finally cleared, and the jonin smiled as he saw Hinata pinned to the ground by an earth spear. The jonin approached her and kicked her:

"You deserve it, bitch." Until Hinata disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving only a small wooden stake.

"Replacement Technique!"

When the stake began to hiss, he looked closer and saw that there was an explosive charm attached to the stake.

The jonin was blown away, he flipped in the air and landed safely, barely injured.

He glanced around, trying to find her.

"Wind Escape: Practice blank bullets!"

Hinata took a deep breath and fired multiple wind bullets at the unsuspecting jonin.

The jonin immediately used a substitution jutsu to avoid being hit.

However, Hinata saw his actions through her Byakugan and adjusted the trajectory of the last wind bullet.

The jonin thought he was safe from the wind bullet.

When he started to do another mudra, he felt pain in his legs and found that both his legs were bleeding.

"Oh no, there's a hole!" He tried to stand up and felt a sharp pain in his chest, then he lost consciousness.

Hinata quickly approached the jonin and delivered a fatal blow to his heart with a gentle fist, ending his life.

## Shikamaru vs. Chunin ##

"Damn it Naruto, I could have taken a break," Shikamaru muttered, stopping in front of the chunin.

"I can leave if you want," the chuunin said sarcastically.

"That's great...bye," Shikamaru said, turning to leave, and a shocked look appeared on his enemy's face.

"I was kidding, asshole…you're not going anywhere," the chuunin yelled, rushing towards Shikamaru.

"What a hassle," Shikamaru muttered, preparing to fight the chunin.

He crouched down, made a hand seal, and shadows began to extend from under his feet, rushing towards the enemy.

"Nara..." The Chunin thought, stopped charging, and started dodging. If he was caught by the shadow, it would be bad.

The chunin jumped high, pulled out a few shurikens, and threw them at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru jumped aside to avoid the shuriken. He took out a few smoke bombs to block the chunin's view.

The Chunin knew better than to stay in the smoke, so he jumped into the woods.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

The chunin sent a large fireball at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru quickly performed a substitution jutsu, swapping with a nearby log and immediately crouching down.

His shadow quickly extended along the underside of the fireball and up the trunk, pinning the chunin to the tree.

"How is this possible?" The Chunin was horrified.

"It's very simple... I used the shadow of the fireball and the shadow of the trees. The smoke bomb is to lure you into the forest."

Shikamaru did another set of hand seals.

"Shadow Neck Binding Technique!"

The deer's shadow began to extend from under the Chunin's feet, forming the shape of a hand, and finally strangling his neck.

The Chunin fell to the ground and received his lunch box.

## Sasuke vs. Chunin ##

"You should give up. Only an Uchiha can defeat an Uchiha." Sasuke taunted.

"Shut up, asshole," the chuunin said, rushing towards Sasuke. Sasuke sneered, tracking him easily with his Sharingan.

The chunin threw an awkward punch. Sasuke swatted it away, caught his wrist, and threw him to the ground with ease.

The chunin stood up and Sasuke sent him flying with a spinning kick into a nearby tree.

"Pathetic. No one can match the power of the Uchiha," Sasuke sneered.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

Sasuke sent multiple small fireballs at the chunin.

The Chunin just stood up, coughing up some blood, and quickly used the Substitution Jutsu to switch positions to avoid the fireball.

But when he regained consciousness, he found Sasuke next to him.

Sasuke threw a kick, which the Chuunin blocked with his right leg. Sasuke spun around and gave him a right hook, which the Chuunin blocked with both hands, but Sasuke continued to spin around and slammed his other leg into the Chuunin's face, sending him flying.

Sasuke quickly appeared next to the Chunin and before he could hit the ground, he gave him another kick, sending him flying into the air.

Sasuke disappeared again and appeared halfway behind the Chunin in the air, grabbing the Chunin's legs and slamming the Chunin's head into the ground.

The Chunin broke his neck, alas.

Sasuke stood up and sneered:

“The training paid off.”

## Naruto and Kenshin ##

"Look, there's nothing to worry about," Naruto said.

"But I can't help but shiver." Kenshin said, his body shaking.

"You're not used to seeing this kind of fight. Just give it a few more minutes." Hinata explained.

"We'll camp here tonight." Naruto said.

It was beginning to get dark.

"Sasuke go gather wood for the fire, Shikamaru...go get some water," Naruto said and they did as they were told.

"Hinata, you stay with Kenshin... I'll go deal with the bodies." Naruto said and began to bury the bodies of his enemies.

##One Hour Later##

Naruto used the Fire Release Technique to light a small fire.

They ate in silence as Naruto used the Earth Release Technique to form a small earthen hut.

"Three hour shifts each. Who wants to be first?" Naruto asked. Shikamaru stepped forward.

"Please... let me do it." Shikamaru said with a yawn.

"There are no clouds to see." Naruto said with a smile.

' I can look at the stars.' Shikamaru thought to himself.

## Three Days Later - Fire Temple ##

They reached the Fire Temple and stopped at the entrance.

There were only dense steps ahead, and it was almost impossible to see the end.

"234 steps," Kenshin said and Naruto's eye twitched.

They began to climb the steps.

They finally reached the entrance to the Fire Temple.

The temple is surrounded by tall and solid stone walls. The entrance is a golden gate with two statues next to it, as if guarding the gate.

They approached the gate and stopped in front of it. Naruto pushed the gate, but nothing happened.

"I can't open it...should I explode it?" Naruto asked, turning to Kenshin, who looked pale.

"Wait," Naruto said, his eyes flashing with his Mangekyō Sharingan.
