Chapter 138: CH 138
No I didn't feel it! I've never really run out of chakra before, not like this!' The gauntlets fell off of Naruto and turned back into his ninjato before he fell to his knees, his hand on the handle of the weapon, 'This is not the time for this... Give me more chakra.'
"*sigh* If you use my chakra as a glorified soldier pill you're going to be the walking dead after this fight is over, you know that right, especially since you're using it as a replacement for your own instead of just as a bolster?"
'Duh.' Naruto mentally rolled his eyes, as if Kyuubi could see it, 'Do I have a choice right now? Just keep the juice coming until I finish off this clown and link back up with Sai-kouhai and Hamako-chan.'
"You're going to be puking blood and pissing fire tonight boy... I'll be sure to laugh at that when it occurs." Kyuubi began to increase the flow of chakra to Naruto to get him to move.
Naruto sheathed the Sen'nenki no Ken on his back, not wanting to touch the blade for the time being after getting drained dry by it not a moment ago, 'Sasori, Sasori, Sasori... you missed your chance to finish me off you tenative bastard.' The Kazekage puppet began flying through the iron forest as Naruto felt his strength return to him. The left arm of the puppet was now a buzzsaw and the right had a blade extending from it.
Naruto began springing through the branches, playing a very dangerous game of cat and mouse with the puppet. With it trying to rip into him with its bladed weapons and Naruto trying to get a chance to destroy it and move along to Sasori himself. Naruto wasn't really worried about getting cut or stabbed, he was really trying to lure it in. He figured that since he could probably survive a stab wound from the puppet, especially now since he knew Sasori's poison couldn't beat him, once he destroyed this one, Sasori would have nothing left to fight him with. After all, Kankuro only had two puppets, so maybe it was a Suna puppeteer thing.
Feeling more and more spry and loose as more of the Kyuubi's chakra circulated through his body, Naruto took advantage of his boost and lashed out at the puppet with his chakra shroud tail. Naruto wrapped around it and pulled it in with a Rasengan forming in his hand. The red of the Kyuubi's chakra bled into the Rasengan, giving it a warped color. He proceeded to slam the jutsu into the body of the puppet, ripping it asunder and scattering its body along the ground.
Naruto walked up to the remains of the puppet and stomped on the head for good measure, crushing it under his foot, "Whoops. Sorry, I'm so clumsy with other people's tools. I guess that's why Kankuro never let me mess with his puppets when I was staying in his family's place."
Naruto saw a flash of red hair in the forest of twisted metal and immediately took off in pursuit. After a decent chase that eventually led them out of the iron jungle, Naruto closed the distance swiftly with his speed boosted and smirked as he bared down on Sasori, "Too slow!" Naruto shot out a claw of chakra that cut right through Sasori's arm as he passed him by.
