Kitsune of one thousand strings

Battle of the Bridge part 2

*Musicaly* I bet you thought that I was dead, but I'm not dead I'm not dead

*Crowd goes crazy. With rage. Starts throughing tables. "About time you jerk!!"*

Three hours after Naruto went back to bed, he woke up to a loud crash and screams from the first floor.

"About time they showed up." He said as he got up while rubbing his eyes. As he went down the stairs he saw two goons in the living room, the one on the left was carrying Tsunami under his right arm while the second was on the right, brandishing an odachi and advancing on Inari, who wielded a frying pan.

"If you touch him I'll bite my tongue off and bleed to death! I swear I will! You'll have no hostage!"

"And then Gato will kill you to idiots for being idiots." Came the lazy and tired drawl of Naruto as he walked down the stairs. For a second they all just stared as he nearly tripped on his way, catching himself before he face planted, righting himself, and continuing as if it hadn't happened.

"Naruto! Take Inari and run away!" A slightly muffled snort sounded before she was even done as Naruto looked at her like she was as dumb as her captors.

"Not a chance, if I can't kill that brat I'll just have to kill this one." This time the snort wasn't even muffled.

"Didn't you hear me! I'll bite my tongue!"

The other thug that hade been quite till now spoke up, "and then we'll take the brat instead." leaving Tsunami at a loss as to what she was suppose to say.

As the grunt advanced Tsunami gave a desperate shout. "Stop! Please!" and got nothing but a chuckle in response.

Calm as ever Naruto spoke "Well obviously you heard the lady, and she said please, so do it. Stop." And as soon as the word left his mouth, the thug did. Mid step, completely off balance, he just froze. Or at least his movements did. His muscles twitched and strained as his eyes darting around trying to figure what the heck was going on.

A yelp from Inari brought the attention of all but Naruto, as they looked over they saw him trying to pull his arm that had the frying pan, which was now right in front of his face and blocking his view. "What. What the heck is wrong with my arm!"

Once more Naruto's monotone voice floated through the air, but now it didn't sound lazy or tired. It sounded cold. Lethal. "I see you have no issues killing kids for things outside their control. That's quite rude of you Douch-San. But seeing as how you can do that, killing your friend there's no issue ether now is it, so do it. Kill him."

With those simply words the thug turned on his comrade with far more speed, grace, skill and power then he had he swung his blade, and the sound of flesh being shredded by a poorly kept blade blood splattering the walls and floor met the ears of all those still alive in the room, followed soon after by the sounds of Tsunami scrambling away from the now corpus.

"Sorry about the mess Tusnami-san, I've got to go to the bridge about now, but I'll make dinner as an apology later. Come, my loyal minion!" Our resident bad@ss exclaimed as he sprinted out the house, his 'loyal minion', who had gone completely limp, being dragged over his friends corpus and banged into walls, leaving blood-smears all over the floor and bottom of the wall, and as she'd later discover, some of the ceiling.

__________at the bridge earlier_____

     As Kakashi and co guarded and helped build the bridge the subtle and quite sound of dozens of feet gently blew through the bridge, hidden to all but the trained murderers by the sounds of hard labor. The quietly burst into action, urging all the workers to flee in a calm manor, while they kept up the noise to make their soon to be attackers think they had the element of surprise.

And that's part two. Originally I was going to stop before the cut to the bridge, then I decided I wouldn't, and then I decided I would, but I had already wrote stuff, so you guys and gals get a crappy end to part one of the bridge battle.
