The Swift Prodigy

Chapter 12: Explosion! Swift Release

Naruto gritted a scream back as he held his bleeding face with his glowed hand.

"I can feel the sword's power flowing through my veins", Doto disappeared and reappeared behind Naruto. Naruto turned around and the tyrant delivered a sharp punch to his stomach. He coughed up blood and was sent right into the stairs on the throne.

"You're pretty durable boy; your Swift Release does more than increase your reaction time and speed. It forms a protective shield around you making your body's chemistry stronger", he cackled as Naruto struggled to get himself out of the hole.

"It just means that I can enjoy this more", Doto disappeared and reappeared above Naruto with his sword facing downward. Before he could run Naruto through the blonde channelled wind to his feet and kicked off the rubble. The result of the stab shook the palace as more rock from above feel down from the ceiling. Naruto back flipped up the wall and kicked off and went through a series of hand signs.

"I need to separate him from that sword", said Naruto as he inhaled.

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu", he said as he blew a stream of flames at Doto. "Now, Fūton: Daitoppa!" exclaimed Naruto.

"He combined Katon and Fūton, this boy is gifted", observed Doto as he cut the powerful torrent of flames into small embers.

Suddenly a lone shuriken burst through the fire and Naruto went through another series of handsigns.

"Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu", the shuriken multiplied and Doto was caught off guard. He bought his armoured forarms in front of him to block them. Once the onslaught was over he removed his hands to see a grinning Naruto with his glowed fist cocked back in front of him.

"To slow", he said as he punched Doto right in the face sending him back into the pillar behind the throne.

Doto's face was covered in blood as his figure became imbedded in the wall. He dropped the sword to the side and in his shocked and bloodied state.

"You're going to pay for what you did Koyuki's family and this country", said Naruto as he walked toward Doto who began chuckling.

"P-Pay? I can pay whatever you want, such is the way of the world boy", he coughed. "I can see the hatred in your eyes", he chuckled.

"How cynical", said Naruto stopping in his tracks.

"You think you're any different, look around....Naruto, look at what we've done", Naruto observed the ruined palace with his cerulean orbs.

"All in the name of defeating me, we've both destroyed a palace that's stood for centuries", he laughed.

"You know something boy, you and I aren't so different", he coughed.

"Are you finished?" asked Naruto as Doto struggled to his feet using the wall for support.

"I'll kill you just like I plan to kill the princess", Naruto growled.

"You mean Koyuki?" asked Naruto.

He snapped. Something deep inside him, a reservoir of power being held back broke and unimaginable anger erupted to the surface setting his being on fire.

YOU MEAN KOYUKI!" Naruto roared to the heavens as he the ground beneath him shook.

He was fully enveloped in the yellow aura and it spread around his figure. Doto's eyes widened as his chakra radar on his arm cracked.

'This child', he thought angrily.

Naruto's chakra flared an golden yellow colour around him. His hair and clothes waved as his chakra flared.
