Rolling to the side, Naruto was able to avoid being skewered by an umbrella of all things. Looking up he could see a less than pleased Neo frowning at him. The edges of her clothes were either cut up or slightly singed while her umbrella was heavily burned and looked to be on the verge of breaking.
Standing up straight, Naruto could already feel his chakra start to repair the damage he had taken. For such a small thing, she managed to pack quite the wallop. With her first kick she had managed to bruise some of his ribs and knock them out of place while her heel kick had broken his jaw and slightly cracked his skull.
As Naruto rubbed his sore jaw, he pondered to himself, 'Maybe I should look into that whole using your chakra/aura as a shield thing afterall.'
While Naruto dodged another kick from Neo, Kurama spoke, 'It would be pointless. Anything short of someone ripping out your heart or cutting your head off would just be healed anyways.'
With an outstretched hand, Naruto caught the next of Neo's kicks, keeping her literally on her toes. Shoving said limb to the side to throw her off her balance, Naruto went for a palm strike to the chest. Instead of stumbling, Neo spun and whipped up her parasol, smacking Naruto's hand away.
Twirling Hi no Ishi, the blond aimed a swing at the shorter girl's legs. The staff was stopped short by Neo's umbrella. Naruto in turn aimed a punch at the shorter girl's face only to have it stopped by the diminutive girl's own hand.
With both of their hands occupied the two combatants took a minute to stare the other down, cerulean orbs peering into what were now heterochromic eyes, one a dark brown and the other a light, almost white, pink.
Naruto grinned his trademark foxy grin and Neo frowned before smiling her own odd smirk, blinking in the process which changed the colors of her eyes.
"Kurama."
Neo turned wide eyes to see the vulpine grin of her opponent's fox. Opening his maw, Kurama began channeling his own chakra, creating a miniature orb of concentrated red Bijū chakra. While downright tiny when compared to the full size Kurama could use when in his true Kyuubi form, this was still the devastating trademark attack of the Nine Tailed Beasts and their Jinchuuriki, the Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Ball).
Not wanting to see what such a menacing looking attack could do, Neo acted quickly, grabbing Naruto's wrist and, leaning her weight on to her umbrella, put her feet on Naruto's abdomen, making her parallel to the ground. With a shove, Neo kicked off and sent herself shooting away from her blond opponent and his fox.
Just in time as well, Kurama unleashing the pent up chakra in a single condensed ball which flew just above Neo. With the ball being no bigger than a baseball, many didn't expect much of it. Of course that notion flew out the window when the tiny ball impacted with the wall above the entrance. The doors, along with almost the entirety wall, were decimated in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a few pebbles of building materials behind as the only sign that there had once been a wall there.
The sound of the explosion and the concussive blast of air that followed were just as devastating. The sound took a second to catch up and when it did, it hit as a physical force, the invisible waves hitting everyone and everything near the impact with enough force as to actually feel like a solid wall. The winds that kicked up due to the attack hit just as hard, destroying even more of the club.
It was at this time that Vale's police force, no doubt backed by some Huntsmen, decided to get involved, the sounds of sirens blaring in the distance.
Not wanting to deal with said law enforcement, Torchwick called out, "Neo! Time to go!"
The odd girl curtsied at Naruto before running to join her already escaping accomplices.
Deciding that leaving the scene would be a good idea for him as well, Naruto turned towards the gaping form of Jr., "Sorry bout the wall!"
'I'm not. Been awhile since we've destroyed some stuff.'
'Not now Kurama.'
In a blur of speed Naruto was gone, leaping across the rooftops to distance himself from the scene of destruction.
Standing alone in the midst of what had once been a well built and well kept club, Jr. could do nothing but stare in shock at what was left of his establishment.
"NO MORE BLOND'S IN MY CLUB!"
As Naruto sped across the rooftops, laughing all the way, a set of piercing amber eyes stared at his retreating form.
'Hmm. He could be useful to me, far more useful than this buffoon Torchwick. Now to find out just who you are and what motivates you. This'll be fun.'
With a smirk the mysterious raven haired woman sauntered her way to the car that one of Torchwick's men was driving.
The effeminate man himself was near grinding his teeth in anger, "Damned blond! I swear the next time I see that mug of his I'm gonna kill him myself."
"No you will not."
Turning to look at his "boss" Torchwick was clearly not happy about being told no, "Why not!? He could easily derail all of our plans!"
In response the woman just smirked, her eyes beginning to glow, resembling fire itself, "Do not worry about him Torchwick. I will personally...handle the situation."
The crime boss huffed before pulling out a cigar and lighting it, "Driver, get us back to base."
'Kurama, you know what I forgot to do?' Naruto thought as he sat on the ship back to Beacon.
Stirring from his "nap", Kurama replied, 'Actually kill the creep who will no doubt be a source of problems for us later on?'
Stroking his chin in thought, the blond shook his head, 'Well yeah that, but something even more important than that!'
'Oh kami don't-'
'Ramen!'
'...kit.'
'Yeah?'
'I loathe you.'
'Love you too Kurama, love you too.
