Glancing over Naruto took note of how Clementine had engaged Zabuza and Victor had taken on Haku. Things were not too bad at the moment, Clementine was a match for Zabuza, Naruto was confident enough in that and Victor could also take out Zabuza's apprentice.
But even so he was wanting to help them out, first by joining Victor in killing Zabuza's apprentice, before joining Clementine in totally overwhelming Zabuza.
But first he had to get rid of Kakashi and his team. Which was why, instead of attack the two enemy Shinobi, he instead appeared in front of Kakashi.
"Take your bridge builder and walk away now." Naruto said calmly, his eyes flickering to Mito before going back to Kakashi.
"I recognise you." Was Kakashi's response, this made Naruto's eyes widen even as his grip on his axe tightened.
"You are 'Grimm' aren't you?" Kakashi replied his own eyes narrowing as he raised his kunai. "Which would make your companions 'the Monster' and 'the Cannibal'? All three of which are Hunter-nin and A-rank Shinobi. It is also listed in the Bingo Books that you are presumed to be from Kirigakure, though that has never been substantiated."
Naruto calmed down as he heard that, those were the names that had been given to Naruto and his team in the Bingo Books. This meant that Kakashi didn't know who he truly was, Bingo Books were an annoying tool, a book was created by each Shinobi Village listing enemy Shinobi who had bounties from their Village.
The information in them though was based on that Village own spy network, something that each Village guarded jealousy.
"Well if we were from Kiri then since Zabuza is a Missing-nin formerly of Kirigakure. Killing him would be our business so you will move on." Naruto replied in a harsh tone as he noticed the glare the young Uchiha gave him and the wide eyed look his sister gave him.
"And if we weren't he is still a Missing-nin and we would be totally within our rights to take the bounty on his head."
"Yet you are also wanted in Konoha's Bingo Book, with a price of twenty thousand on your head." Kakashi replied showing no signs of hostility.
"Why are they called that Sensei?" Mito questioned from where she was stood.
"The reason is simple, each of them is considered a monster for the ghoulish way they handle their victims. 'The Cannibal' as you might have guessed eats those she kills, whilst 'the Monster' harvests their organs and body parts. 'The Grimm' though, the Grimm just rots his victims from the inside out.
All of them are supposedly Outcasts from the Rogue Clans which is why it is assumed they are from Kiri, as a few years back a lot of Rogue Clans joined the Village." Kakashi replied in answer to his students as he kept a wary eye on the masked man in front of him.
Mito paled at that as she looked at Naruto in horror. A look that caused Naruto's chest to begin hurting, Sasuke though, his eyes seemed to gleam with sudden excitement.
"So if they are in our Bingo Book, that must mean they are enemies." Sasuke said quietly as he kept his eyes fixed on Naruto.
"Sasuke back down now." Kakashi warned sternly even as he shifted his stance slightly readying himself as he did so.
He had underestimated his young student though as with a shout Sasuke charged the black masked Hunter-nin, the black haired Uchiha seemingly oblivious to Kakashi's shout for him to stop. Instead his mind was fully consumed by his need to get stronger; no doubt his justification for attacking Naruto was to test his strength.
The fault was partially Naruto's as he had been suppressing his chakra and had not been using his Killer Intent. Him having decided such things would make convincing Kakashi to back off harder. But it seems to have had the opposite effect as Sasuke had seen his lack of presences as a weakness, and had thus decided to attack.
Raising his axe and channeling his chakra to his muscles, Naruto prepared to knock the Uchiha down. He would not allow some child to get away with attacking him, even if that child was the younger brother of his, sort of friend, Itachi.
Naruto did not get a chance to slap the Uchiha down though as he soon found himself face to face with Kakashi. The man's single Sharingan spinning as he used a lightning enshrouded kunai to block Naruto's axe.
Letting out a hiss of irritation Naruto brought his foot up to deliver a kick to Kakashi's gut, even as his other hand went to grip Kakashi's free hand.
Breaking away Kakashi grabbed the Uchiha by the back of his collar before he threw him behind him as he landed on his feet. His hands already up again by that point and moving to create a number of seals. "Lightning Style: Lightning Dragon Jutsu!"
A dragon made entirely out of Kakashi's lightning exploded from the air in front of the grey haired man. The elemental dragon then proceeded to shoot through the air towards Naruto.
Twin chakra chains exploded out of Naruto's back as he saw what was coming, the chains moving to create a cross in front of him to protect him from Kakashi's jutsu.
The sight of the chains caused Kakashi's eyes to widen, as well as Mito. Both of them shocked as they saw this mysterious person use Uzumaki Chakra Chains, though whether they were truly that was debatable considering that the chains were forged out of bluish grey chakra instead of golden coloured chakra.
Even so the sight of them were enough to shock the two, a shock that was increased when Naruto used the chains to bulldoze through Kakashi's jutsu, his axe already raised as he blurred towards Kakashi.
"Mito, Sasuke get out of here, get to Tazuna and find yourselves a safe and defensible location." Kakashi's grunted out as he substituted himself with a nearby log, the log shattering into pieces as Naruto's axe struck it.
"But Sensei!" Mito called out conflicted.
Kakashi didn't have time to reply as Naruto was once again on him, sparks flying as they fought Naruto's axe and Kakashi's kunai deflecting each other. Even as Naruto produced four more chakra chains from behind him, before he used them all to attack Kakashi's, becoming a maelstrom of destruction as the ground and trees around them were ripped up and turned to dust by Naruto's chakra chains.
Kakashi being forced entirely on the defensive as he had to rely on his Sharingan and experience to avoid Naruto's brutal onslaught.
"You should have left whilst I gave you the chance." Naruto shouted more than a little pissed off at how things had gone down.
"You tried to harm one of my precious students." Kakashi replied stoically even as he noticed the pitted and rusted blade of his once immaculate kunai, his eyes widening as he once again took note of the unusual colour of Naruto's chakra.
"You still have chance Kakashi. Leave now and I will not pursue, stay and I will have no choice but to kill you!" Naruto spoke up once more.
"I think you are getting a little ahead of yourself boy." Kakashi replied calmly, before he threw his rusted kunai at Naruto and then clasped the wrist of his right hand with his left. As he did this lightning erupted around his right hand and the sound of chirping birds could be heard ringing around the clearing.
"The Chidori I presume." Naruto replied with a scowl as he finally had enough, if Kakashi wanted to be stubborn and die then that was his own fault. Naruto had no particular care or interest in the man, whether he lived or died was meaningless. The only reason he had not gone all out to kill him yet had been because he knew the death of Kakashi would upset his sister, and even then that had been a pretty petty reason.
"Chidori!" Kakashi shouted as he shot towards Naruto his right hand raised to strike him, his Sharingan blazing as he used it to keep track of Naruto's every move.
"Idiot." Naruto said before he retracted his chains, instead he decided to form two, foot and a half long, curved claws made of his deathly chakra, from the back of his hands. Once they were formed Naruto drew more heavily on the souls he kept trapped on his body, using the multiple souls as nothing more than batteries for him to use to increase his already soul enhanced power.
In a blur Naruto shot towards Kakashi his body blazing with his grayish chakra, even as the remaining grass and trees around him died.
With a loud shout the both of them clashed.
