The Swift Prodigy

Chapter 12: Explosion! Swift Release

Doto growled.

"You're just a kid!" he yelled.

Naruto disappeared in a burst of speed. The ground beneath him cracking, he reappeared in front of Doto and delivered a swift uppercut to his chin. This powerful punch sent Doto upward.

"YEAH I'M THE KID THAT'S GONNA KICK YOUR METAL ASS!" he exclaimed as Doto sailed above the pillars.

Naruto jumped thrusted his palms toward the ground. The force propelled him up toward Doto. He spun around to face him and he cocked right fist back. Dota desperately thrusted his fist forward.

"Hyōton: Kokuryū Bōfūsetsu", he exclaimed .

"You won't ever, ever, defeat me!" he roared as he cut right through the strong ice jutsu.

Naruto then punched Doto square in the stomach making him spit up blood. Naruto roared again and followed through. The force of the punched was enough to send Doto through the high ceiling. Naruto smiled as his forward momentum came to a sudden stop. He dropped back down to ground destroying the floor around his landing. He laughed as his eyes closed halfway. The last thing his saw was a pair of shinobi sandals as he finally lost consciousness.

Prodigy of a Generation

The people in the movie theatre cheered as the credits rolled.

"That was fantastic", said one critic.

"I couldn't agree more", said another with tears in her eyes.

The director and his team sat in the front row.

"I'm so up for a film award!" he laughed as his adoring public crowded around him.

Prodigy of a Generation

Naruto opened his eyes as he looked around the white room with open curtains that fluttered in the wind.

Instantly, the sterile smell of the cleanliness hospital filled his nostrils and he grunted at the strong smell.

"Oi Naruto", Naruto groaned looked to his left to see another bedside the window.

"Itachi?" squinted Naruto. "You're lookin' well", he laughed at his who looked rather beat up himself.

"That's a nice scar you've got across your face", commented Itachi.

Naruto put both of his hands on his face to realise that he had a bandage across his forehead. He could also feel the jagged skin as he ran his left hand from the middle of his left cheek and diagonally and across his nose. A small amount of the scar was hidden above his right eye under the bandage. His upper lip was also cut and swollen. He also had bandages around his midsection.

He sat up and shook his head.

"Where are we?" he asked.

"We're a hospital in the capital of the Snow country", answered Itachi as Naruto tried to stand up but he feel backward on the bed.

"You're healing quickly, you've been unconscious for two days", said Itachi with a chuckle.

"Two...days, well I did kick ass didn't I", he joked.

"I'd say it's more like you got your ass kicked Naruto-kun", Naruto looked up to see Rin walking through the door with some instant Ramen in her hand. She walked over to him and handed it to him. He thanked her and began eating.

"Thought you would be hungry", she said with a smile.

"How are you both doing?" asked Rin.

Naruto swallowed.
