Title: Chidori V.S Rasengan


**crackle* *crackle **crackle*
[Flashback]Sasuke: ... It's not meaningless... You have become my closest friend...[Flashback]
Naruto: (That's what he said... To me.//So I'll confirm my doubts with this Rasengan.)*SWOOSH*

*WHAM* *DODODODODO*
*THUD*
*glub*
*waterfall*

*waterfall*
*Suuuu*
*Splash*
*drip* drip* drip* *pant *pant*
Sasuke: (Hell... That technique can keep up with my fully-powered Chidori (tn: Thousand Plovers. Literally, the Kanji say 1000 birds. But "chidori" actually means "plover". ) all the way.

*pant* *pant*
Sasuke: .....//Friggin' loser.
*bubble* bubble*
Naruto: (Damn...// Goddamnit...)

*surface*
Sasuke: (Narutooo...)
Naruto: (There's no more mistaking it, right...?//You really mean it...

[Flashback]Kakashi: Well! Two shots. Your limit is two shots... Or something along those lines.
Sasuke: What happens if I use it more than twice?
Kakashi: The third shot won't work... Make sure you remember that!/ If you activate a technique when you shouldn't be able to... It won't work properly, and more importantly, your chakra will drop to zero...... And if you really mess up, you'll die.[Flashback]
Sasuke: (Damn... I can't afford to waste my attacks./ There's no point in going for another mutual strike like before...!)
*waterfall* *SPLASH*
Sasuke: (I'll use some quick and easy moves and jutsu to get him to move superfluously./Then there's no doubt I can land a Chidori on him.)
Naruto: (You're really...)

Naruto: (You're really going to kill me in cold blood... Are you, Sasuke?)//........// Right now, he's making up his mind. Trying to figure out how he's gonna kill me...//He's serious./He's really serious about it... *ZZZZZZZ*

*ZZZZZZZZ*
Sasuke: Naruto...//Did you know that two top-notch shinobi could read each other's minds?/Without a word.//Just through combat.//You, Naruto, are naive. Let me know...

Sasuke: Have you been able to read what I really have on my mind? Can you tell?*swish*
Naruto: ........
Sasuke: (Katon!)*swish* *slap* *Pah*
Sasuke: Housenka no jutsu!! ( tn: Fire Release: Incendiary Balsam Dehiscence technique)*ROAR* ROAR* ROAR*
*ZOOM*

*swip*
Naruto: !
*THUD*
*WHAM*

Naruto: (..........//... Sasuke... I knew you were always a loner.//From the beginning... Knowing there was someone like me out there made me feel better.//And happy too./I wanted to talk to you right off the bat...)

*SPLASH*
Naruto: (But you wouldn't say a thing to me.//You were good at whatever you did...//On top of that, everyone spoke so highly of you.)
*splash*
*ZOOM*

*THUD*
Naruto: (You and I were too different...//So out of spite, I made the one-sided decision that we'd be rivals! [Picture: defeat Sasuke]/I wouldn't lose to you... I wouldn't think about anything else, cause people said I was hopeless.//Things didn't change one bit when we became Team 7...)

Naruto: I wanted to be like you. Really.//I looked up to you.//That's why...
[Flashback]Sasuke: I wanna fight you too...[Flashback]
Naruto: (I was really happy back then.//Cause it was the first time you said something to acknowledge me...)
*grip*

Naruto: ... But we didn't have to do battle to understand. From that moment on, even if we didn't say it out loud... *CHIRP* *CHIRP*
*swip*
Naruto: (We were friends!)
[Flashback]Sasuke: It's not meaningless... You've become my closest friend...[Flashback]

Naruto: (But... You're seriously trying to kill me./ Now I don't know if you really meant those words any more...).*ZZZZ*
Sasuke: !
Naruto: (Perhaps I was the only one who thought of us as friends)*SSSS*
Sasuke: It's too late now. Naruto.
*WHAM*
