Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

The air was saturated with tension as the wind carried the rustling of dead leaves.

Jura sketched a mocking smile under his mask.

— "You really think you can beat me, kid? Kyûbi or not, you're still an amateur."

Naruto clenched his fists, his face determined.

— "I won't let you underestimate me. And I guarantee you won't take Kyûbi from me."

— "We'll see," Jura replied, disappearing suddenly.

Before Naruto could react, Jura reappeared in front of him. His speed was so incredible that it defied comprehension.

— "Too slow," Jura murmured before striking Naruto with a devastating punch to the stomach.

Cut off from his breath, Naruto was propelled backward, crashing into a tree with unimaginable violence. The trunk exploded under the impact, sending wood splinters in all directions. Naruto tried to get up, but Jura was already on him.

With terrifying agility, Jura grabbed Naruto by the head and lifted him as if he weighed nothing.

— "That's all you've got? You're a disappointment."

— "Damn! Naruto!" Kakashi shouted, who was observing the scene at a safe distance.

Before Naruto could retaliate, Jura crushed him violently to the ground. The force of the impact made the earth tremble, forming a crater around them.

Naruto, his face bloody, lost consciousness almost immediately.

Seeing that Naruto was out of the fight, Kakashi raised his forehead protector, revealing his Sharingan with three tomoe.

— "You won't get away with it," he murmured, his piercing gaze fixed on Jura.

Jura straightened up, brushing the dust off his shoulders.

— "Ah, Kakashi Hatake. The famous Copy Ninja. Come, I'm curious to see if you're as impressive as the rumors claim."

Kakashi didn't respond. In a fluid motion, he formed a series of mudras.

— "Raikiri!"

A blue lightning bolt erupted from his hand as he charged towards Jura.

Jura dodged with a quick jump, but Kakashi followed closely, his Sharingan analyzing every movement. And he managed to graze Jura with his Raikiri, leaving a slight burn on his arm.

— "You're much slower than I thought, Kakashi," Jura said in a drawling voice.

Kakashi remained silent, his Sharingan fixed on his opponent. He knew he couldn't underestimate Jura. The power chakra emanating from him was undeniable, and his mastery of Raiton promised a most dangerous battle.

Without warning, Jura leaped, almost disappearing from Kakashi's sight. The latter raised his arms just in time to block a punch charged with Raiton. The impact was so powerful that the ground under their feet cracked.

Kakashi immediately counterattacked with a circular kick, but Jura bent agilely backward, dodging with disconcerting ease.

Kakashi's reflexes were pushed to their limits. Each blow was precise and fast, leaving barely any time to react. Kakashi used his Sharingan to anticipate Jura's movements, managing to block most of the attacks, but a few blows slipped through his guard, scratching his ribs and left arm.

— "You're fast, but you lack brute strength," Jura mocked.

Kakashi remained focused despite the pain.

He formed a series of mudras, then shouted:

— "Suiton: Water Wall!"

A liquid barrier erupted from the ground, forcing Jura to retreat. But barely had the technique been launched, Kakashi rushed to the side, using the water wall as a distraction to attack.

Kakashi reappeared behind Jura, launching a chakra-infused Kunai directly towards his neck. Jura, still as fast, turned around just in time to deflect the blow with his forearm, the Kunai did no damage to him. The two ninjas exchanged a series of punches and kicks, their movements almost invisible to the naked eye.

Jura slipped under a kick from Kakashi and tried to sweep him to the ground, but Kakashi jumped, taking advantage of the momentum to deliver a knee strike towards Jura's face. The latter blocked with one hand, while the other launched a Raiton discharge directly at Kakashi.

The electricity coursed through Kakashi's body, briefly paralyzing him. Jura took advantage of this moment to strike with a Raiton-enhanced punch, propelling Kakashi several meters away.

— "Is that all? I was expecting more from the Copy Ninja, according to the rumors you have a thousand techniques. But it seems you only have a dozen at most." Jura mocked, advancing slowly.

Kakashi got up with difficulty, wiping blood from his face.

— "This fight has only just begun," he replied, his eyes narrowed.

Jura stretched out his hands, and black lightning began to crackle around him.

— "Raiton: Lightning Lances!"

Lightning bolts erupted from his hands, flying towards Kakashi with incredible speed. Kakashi jumped to the side, but one of the lances grazed his shoulder, burning deeply into the flesh.

Without wasting any time, Kakashi quickly formed another series of mudras.

— "Doton: Stone Barrier!"

A wall of rock rose between him and Jura, absorbing the rest of the lightning. But Jura gave him no respite. He suddenly appeared above Kakashi, striking the wall with a Raiton charge, reducing it to pieces.

Kakashi used the chaos as cover to activate his Chidori. The characteristic noise of a thousand birds filled the clearing as he charged towards Jura.

— "Let's see if you can dodge this!" Kakashi shouted.

Jura smiled, dodging with a fluid movement.

— "Too slow," he replied, striking Kakashi in the abdomen with such force that the latter felt his ribs breaking.

But Kakashi, despite his suffering, did not let go of his Raikiri. He pivoted, aiming at Jura at point-blank range.

The Raikiri grazed Jura, but at the critical moment, he suddenly disappeared. Kakashi remained frozen, stunned.

— "Impossible... Hiraishin?" Kakashi murmured, desperately searching for Jura with his eyes.

A fraction of a second later, he felt crushing pressure on his back.

— "Die!" Jura's voice murmured, a luminous Rasengan in his hand.

The Rasengan crashed into Kakashi, propelling him violently to the ground. The shock made the earth tremble, creating another crater around him. Kakashi, gravely injured, struggled to move.

Jura stood above him, a victorious smile on his face.

— "You were a decent opponent, but it's time to end it."

Jura raised his hand, black lightning crackling between his fingers, ready to deliver the final blow.

Suddenly, a bestial roar filled the air. Before Jura could act, Naruto, surrounded by a reddish chakra and sporting three tails of Kyûbi, leaped out of the crater where he had been unconscious.

— "You won't touch Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto shouted, his eyes turned scarlet and slit.

With increased speed and power, he struck Jura head-on, propelling him in turn several meters away. Jura, surprised, got up.

— "Interesting... Very interesting," he murmured, observing Naruto with a mix of curiosity and satisfaction.
