"Kukuku I would ask what you two are doing here, but it seems painfully obvious," Orochimaru chuckled.
Jiraiya held a hand out in front of Naruto, "Kid, this fight is going to be in a level beyond you. Protect Tsunade while Shizune and I deal with Orochimaru and his glasses wearing partner."
Naruto looked at Jiraiya for a second before sighing, "Fine, but if things get hairy don't expect me to just sit on my ass."
"That's fine, Shizune will handle whitey over there while I take care of Orochimaru," Jiraiya looked over at Shizune who gave him a nod and switched places with Naruto.
Orochimaru looked amused by their conversation, "You think you can take me on Jiraiya. We all know that you have always been the weakest of the three of us. And it's a good thing you're not sending Naruto-kun over to me; after all, he can't do anything if I don't want him to."
"If you're talking about that little hickey you tried to give me then you're shit out of luck pedo-teme," Naruto said as he pulled away his cloak and shirt over his neck, revealing unblemished tanned skin. "That cursed seal might have taken hold on someone who's drowning in his own darkness and delusions of grandeur like Sasuke-teme, but I don't have such a problem."
Unless you count my deranged other half. Naruto did not mention that out loud and just grinned as he saw Orochimaru look at him in shock, and then anger.
"It matters not. You were merely a pawn that I was hoping to use. All that truly matters in the end is that I get Sasuke-kun."
"Well that's good I suppose, I really didn't want to be your ass muppet anyways, I prefer members of the opposite gender," Naruto shot back.
Orochimaru scowled. "I see he picked up Jiraiya's 'wit'. I'm getting rather tired of this, do it now Kabuto!"
Kabuto pulled off the bandages on one of Orochimaru's arm and the Sannin's blood down the summoning tattoo that was found on it, "Kuchiyose No Jutsu!"
Kabuto and Orochimaru could now be found on top of a giant three headed snake that was quickly heading for the group of Konoha ninja.
Jiraiya went through his own hand seals as he tried to summon, only for there to be a small puff of smoke and Gamakichi to pop out, "Huh? Oh, hey there! How ya doin?"
Naruto sweat dropped, "Are you serious Ero-sennin? I can do better than that! You need to get in the game!"
"Give me some room gaki!" Jiraiya scowled as he went through a set of hand seals and slammed his hands on the ground, "Doton: Yomi Numa (Earth Release: Swamp of The Underworld)!"
The ground in front of him liquefied and turned into a murky and muddy looking substance, disabling there movement. Jiraiya cursed, "Damn it! It wasn't deep enough to drown them! Looks like Tsunade's drug hasn't worn off."
"Fuuton: Kamikaze No Tatsumaki!" Jiraiya looked over to see a tornado erupt from Naruto's fist and smash right into the snake, shredding its head to small pieces.
"Not bad gaki!" Naruto grinned at the compliment before jumping back towards Tsunade, taking Gamakichi with him, as Shizune rushed towards Kabuto.
Naruto watched as the two fights kicked off, with Jiraiya and Orochimaru moving further away as they battled. He turned his main attention towards the fight between Shizune and Kabuto, watching as the pair of medic-nin fought in their own styles. Shizune was more of a distance fighter, using a senbon launcher similar to his own and poison type jutsus, not to say she was a slouch at taijutsu, but when Kabuto used his chakra scalpels in close Naruto knew who was better there.
He made sure to watch the fight and analyze the white haired traitors fighting style in case he needed to jump in. Which the opportunity soon came when Kabuto managed to use Doton: Mogurakure No Jutsu (Earth Release: Hiding Mole Jutsu) to move underground, after Shizune had released a cloud of poison gas, and had managed to get behind the woman and severe the tendons of her Achilles heel.
Naruto made two quick clones to keep Tsunade safe while he made his move.
Kabuto was just about to land a finishing blow on Shizune with his chakra scalpels. However, before he could a foot suddenly implanted itself into the side of his head, sending him flying back with a great deal of force. He managed to right himself so that he landed on his feet, even still he was forced to use chakra as he skidded across the ground, creating two small trenches with his feet.
Naruto kneeled down next to Shizune who was trying to heal her wounded heals, "You alright Shizune-san?"
"I'm fine, thank you Naruto-kun," Shizune said, grimacing a bit as her wound refused to heal quickly enough.
Naruto noticed this and created a Kage Bunshin who, much to the woman's protest lifted her up in a bridal carry, "Take a load off while I deal with this guy Shizune-chan." The blond cracked his neck a bit as he prepared for a fight.
Shizune did not get a chance to respond as the clone Naruto ran off with her, heading towards Tsunade as Kabuto came closer. "That was very admirable of you Naruto-kun; getting yourself involved in a battle you have no chance of winning."
Naruto scoffed, "I wouldn't make the same mistake of underestimating me that everyone else seems to enjoy doing these days."
Kabuto smirked as he pushed his glasses up, "Oh I'm not. I know very well what you're capable of from Orochimaru-sama and your little display during the Chunin Exams. However, I'm on par with Hatake Kakashi, while you are still a Genin, a talented one but still just a Genin."
"Well then, let's see if I can't get you to sing a different tune after I break off my foot in your ass," Naruto flicked wrists and summoned a pair of kunai into them, not that Kabuto could see with his large cloak covering his form.
"Very well then, why don't you show me how you intend to do this. I'm in need of some new entertainment after all," Kabuto activated his chakra scalpels.
"Gladly!" Naruto threw both kunai and went into a set of hand seals. "Kunai Kage Bushin No Jutsu!"
Two kunai became twenty as they headed for Kabuto who began to dodge them with relative ease. When they all passed he just scoffed.
"I hope you can do better than that!" Kabuto ran at Naruto, not catching the small smirk on the blonde's face.
Thanks to the fact that Naruto's hands could not be seen under his cloak, Kabuto had no clue that Naruto was manipulating his kunai to come back with chakra strings. It was only years of training that saved Kabuto from being impaled from behind. He swerved out of the way of the kunai, rolling to the left and coming back up on his feet.
Unfortunately for him, Naruto knew better than to play around with someone who Orochimaru trusted enough to help in his missions, and was already right in the traitor's face. Naruto launched a knee at Kabuto that the older teen was simply too slow to block. It hit him in the face, and there was a sickening crunch as the cartilage of Kabuto's nose broke, and then he was sent reeling backwards.
Not wanting to let up and allow Kabuto any time to actually get his act together, Naruto linked his fists together and thrust them out, "Fuuton: Kamikaze Seiken!"
There was a ripple of air that flew at high speeds towards Kabuto, smacking him and sending him flying backwards where he skidded along the ground. Naruto watched as Kabuto got up with a small trickle of blood running down his mouth, "That was a pretty good hit Naruto-kun. Orochimaru-sama was right about your skills. It's only too bad that mark didn't stick or I would have been able to let you live."
Naruto rolled his eyes as he watched Kabuto heal himself, "So you say, but I have yet to see you land a hit on me. From what I can tell you're a medic-nin and close combat specialist who uses chakra scalpels to defeat your opponents. Whereas I on the other hand, would be considered a mid-to-close range taijutsu and ninjutsu specialist, though I have a fair few long range attacks; all I need to do is not let you get close enough to utilize those scalpels of yours and I'm good."
