<><><><><><><>
Standing squabbling in the middle of the forest were fourteen adults, all wearing black spandex. All of them were retired chunin or genin, which really explained why the timer had started so low! With fourteen ninja and kunoichi pumping out chakra with presence concealment jutsu for who knows how long, it wasn't any wonder that they'd somehow supercharged the chakra mutations.
"I'm outta here!" he said and sped away.
"Get him!" cried most of the idiots who had caused the situation in the first place. They charged after the blond orphan, ignoring the mutations. After all, they had killed the others easily. Why would these be any different?
Big mistake.
With a shrill screech of rage, the [Berserk Fox Squirrel] launched itself at the closest person to it, digging in its claws and attempting to rip at his throat. He screamed and thrashed his arms, sending the creature flying off of him with a solid punch to its jaw.
"Fuck! What the hell?!" he screamed.
While the attention of the majority of the adult shinobi fell on the overt threat, [Mogura Wogura] tunnelled underground, emerging to drag another one of the spandex-clad ninja underground with a scream.
"Son of a bitch!"
"Why is this happening?!"
"It's your fault, you morons!" Naruto roared before he ran headfirst into an invisible wall. Swearing like a sailor and rubbing his abused nose, he glared and [Observed] it.
[Average Barrier Ninjutsu]
A barrier made of pure chakra energy. It is used to either keep people out or keep someone inside the location encased by the barrier. This particular one is of average strength and can be destroyed by overloading it with chakra-based attacks. In other words, launch a lot of ninjutsu at it and watch it shatter like a glass wall!
DUR: 1500/1500
Regeneration: 50 DUR/per minute.
Special Skills: [Resist Ninjutsu: 30%], [Resist Physical: 30%].
"Hell in a handbasket! Doton: Iwa Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto growled, slamming a hand on the ground, causing fifteen clones to shoot up from it in an explosion of earth and grass.
"Bombard the damn barrier so we can get out of here!" he ordered them, "I'll hold off the moron brigade and the damn mutations!"
As the Iwa Bunshin started to volley Gansetsukon and Dangan at the barrier, Naruto turned around to see that the group of ninja retirees had somehow manged to save their kidnapped friend, but were only barely able to fend off the rampaging squirrel and marauding mole.
'Might as well help them.' Naruto thought with a sigh, "Fūton: Senfūkyū!"
Raising he hand to his mouth, he fired three swirling balls of wind at [Mogura Wogura], which slammed into its nose. The giant mole unleashed a pained screeching wail of pain and sent three of the spandex-clad ninja retirees flying with one swipe of its paws.
"Gaaah!"
"Gubooh!"
"Aiiiiehhh!"
"Damn you, Demon Brat!" one kunoichi yelled at him, "Right, you and you; handle the damn squirrel! You, you and you hold off the supersized mole! The rest of us will do what we came to do and kill the Demon Brat!"
The spandex brigade obeyed her, two men drawing their ninjatō to deal with the [Berserk Fox Squirrel], while two other men and a kunoichi moved to contain [Mogura Wogura]. The rest turned to face Naruto, who snarled at them.
"Once again, just to be absolutely clear here, this is your fault!" he shouted angrily, gesturing at the two powerful mutations.
"And how do you figure that out, Demon Brat?" Tomoe asked condescendingly.
"Because this place was closed for chakra saturation, numbskull." The blond orphan stated, "It could barely handle me coming in and firing off ninjutsu like crazy, so having you lot coming in and using concealment jutsu for who knows how long refilled the saturation to what it was before I got started again and summoned those things, more powerful versions of the alpha monsters that I killed. Thanks for that, dumbass. Now I'm gonna have to start from scratch!"
"Kill the brat!" one of the spandex squad shouted.
"Katon: Gōkakyū!" Three of the men fired the well-known fire jutsu at Naruto, all of them using the fireball form. It was a weakness of most people to only use that form, or so Asuma-sensei had told him. They used the fireball form rather than the flamethrower form because of…aesthetics, he thought the word Asuma had used was. He didn't know what it meant, but it seemed to make the bearded Jonin irritated.
Now that the Uchiha were reduced to a single member (Sasuke-teme), the only clan that specialised in Katon Jutsu were the Sarutobi, so it was logical to assume that it offended Asuma's pride to see a versatile Katon Jutsu misused so.
Rolling out of the way of the fireballs, Naruto countered with a swarm of Gansetsukon that forced the attackers to scatter slightly. One stone stave even pierced through one man's leg.
Target leg pierced through! Status [Bleeding] inflicted! Target mobility reduced by 20%!
"Son of a bitch!"
"Get that little bastard!"
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto said, forming the cross handsign of the jutsu. Five Clones appeared and charged the enemy while the original ran through handsigns for his strongest Fūton Jutsu.
"Fūton: Daitoppa!"
The air around Naruto was compressed into a blast of wind that flew away from him and sent some of the more scattered members flying into trees. Meanwhile the clones were engaging the other retirees with more Gansetsukon, using the staves to augment their lack of reach.
"Shadow Clones?! Rock Clones?! Rock Staves?! Who the hell is teaching this Demon Brat all these Jutsu?!" Tomoe yelled.
Just then, the Iwa Bunshin shattered the barrier with a synchronised volley of well-placed Doton: Dangan. This dismayed the spandex brigade, especially when a squad of ANBU blurred into existence around them and soundlessly binding them with some kind of paralyzing jutsu before following up with a jutsu that Naruto recognised; Suiton Ninpō: Mizuame Bakujō. It bound the spandex-clad ninja by their hands and feet.
"Uzumaki-san." The cat-masked ANBU said with a nod as she casually beheaded the [Berserk Fox Squirrel] with her ninjatō, "I trust you are unharmed?"
"Y-Yeah…I'm fine, Neko-san." Naruto stammered, not believing that the powerful squirrel had been killed in less than two seconds. Another member of her team, Saru, electrocuted [Mogura Wogura] with a powerful Raiton Jutsu, killing it instantly.
'Note to self: do not piss off the ANBU.' Naruto thought before correcting himself, 'Second note to self: Do not piss the ANBU enough for them to get really serious about catching you."
