'Sai' widened his eyes as he immediately backed up to dodge the light spear, but the attack was too close and he was forced to use his kunai in order to change it's trajectory.
*CLANG*
The resounding sound from the clash of the two weapons echoed along the abandoned factory and 'Sai' got out of the exchange completely unharmed. But the same cannot be said about his kunai. The reliable weapon has been split down the handle cleanly with 'Sai' holding onto the remnants. 'Sai' quickly threw the remnant of the weapon at the four-winged fallen, but she swiped the affronting weapon with her spear before it reached her. She then turned back towards her prey...
Then she saw a pale face.
She saw stars as a strong right hook knocked her back through the ceiling.
'Sai' landed upside-down on the ceiling before running to the hole made by the fallen group. The second he poked his head to the roof of the factory, he immediately had to duck since a light spear went soaring where his head used to be. Several more light spears rained down at the hole to make sure that the pale human didn't get to the roof without getting hit by one of them.
Up in the sky, Vretiel was scowling darkly as she wiped her bloody nose. The boy had a mean right hook, she'd give him that. But he made a fatal error in this little skirmish, where she had to admit that he had the advantage in close combat...
"But now..." Vretiel said with a cruel smirk as her wings flapped and moved her further and further away from the factory. Raynare had finally done something worthwhile by moving the rest of the weak one-wings away from the factory.
Now she can't be held responsible for their deaths once she finishes destroying the factory.
'Sai' quickly went through the hole in the ceiling once the barrage of spears have reached a lull, he scanned through the sky for the leader of the enemy group. Then he noticed a light, a bright light that could initially fool a normal human into thinking that the God from the Bible was blessing them...
But 'Sai' knew that the light was nowhere near as nice or as benificial as that.
"Shit...!" 'Sai' cursed as he jumped back down and desperately did some hand-seals before the entire world exploded around him.
To the humans who were living normal lives close to the abandoned factory, the explosion that would rock their sleepy town was sudden and loud. To a certain fallen angel, she just reveled at the destruction she caused and the death of the human that dared to cause her pain.
The only other conscious fallen angel there just watched her mother cackle at the destruction before turning towards the crater that once held an old man-made structure. She thought about the pale human before hardening her eyes.
"Good riddance..." Raynare mumbled, she only wished that she was strong enough to destroy the wily human herself.
There was no point in sympathizing with an enemy, it would make her weaker than she already was. The last thing she wanted to do was be a bigger disappointment to her mother, she was meant to surpass her after all.
"Come Raynare, we're leaving." Vretiel spoke with a commanding tone, she wanted to get back to their base as soon as possible. This whole debacle was an utter waste of time, although she was interested to learn that a human had become powerful enough to actually blitz her. But for now she had a more important mission, she slid her gaze towards her daughter as she carried all of her comrades.
Yes, a far more lucrative mission indeed.
The third party observer walked into the crater of the old factory before leaning into the center of the explosion where 'Sai' once stood.
"...Come on, there's no way you got killed that easily. You're me after all." Naruto said with exasperation. In response to the blond's statement the ground began to crack, then the ground gave way as 'Sai' broke through the ground like some sort of zombie from a horror movie. 'Sai' then gave Naruto a thumbs up once he finally got a firm footing.
"Mission accomplished boss!" 'Sai' said with a grin that did not fit on his face, at least as far as Naruto was concerned.
"Ugh...please turn off the henge already..." Naruto said with a sigh, he knew that he was a pretty good actor when he needed to be. His prank against his future best friend after they became genin but before they got assigned to Kakashi-sensei was proof of that. The problem was staying 'in-character' was tough for the blond after a while, he simply wasn't good at keeping fake appearances.
The fact that 'Sai' grinned at all was proof enough of that.
'Sai' sighed before turning off his henge and turning back to his original appearance; an exact replica of Naruto. The original just nodded towards his clone before speaking again. "Alright, please disperse yourself so I can see what I'm dealing with in the fallen angels." Naruto said, getting the experience that the clone gained from the small battle was better than hearing it.
The clone nodded and dispersed the chakra inside itself in order to give it's creator the memories it had. A POP later, the clone's memories began to transfer to Naruto.
Naruto grinned for a moment as he saw how his clone managed to get away from the destruction of the factory; Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu (Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole technique). A jutsu that Naruto used to defeat Neji during the chuunin exams...man he totally forgot he knew that jutsu. Naruto then frowned as he remembered the clone's clash with the fallen angels, in a straight fight he was positive that he could crush all of them without too much effort, but the way that the four-winged fallen had attacked the factory...
Her wings gave her the ability to fly, something that wasn't usually a problem for the young shinobi since he could jump extremely high. But this woman had the speed to react fast enough to his own if given at least a split-second warning and the durability to not just fall over after a single punch. If she stayed high in the air like that and Naruto took account of gravity slowing him down on his ascent...
The blonde clicked his teeth at this weakness, something as stupid as the ability to fly was not gonna keep him down. Her attacks weren't even things that would kill him, just something that would hurt like hell.
The blond looked up to the starless sky and grinned, he just had to improvise a little then.
But before he makes plans on how to do that...
"I did it! I am the best at what I do 'ttebayo!" Naruto cried in glee, how could he not after all? His fool-proof plan had been an absolute success; he wasn't to blame for the capture of a fallen angel and he didn't just cause a war between supernatural factions. He couldn't help but worry a lot at the fact that he could have caused a war in this world!
Naruto frowned for a moment though, making the clone buy rope and a pretty early seal he made during ero-sennin's three-year trip was all vital in making his plan work. The plan was to get the fallen angel's comrades to help that girl; Raynare, and have them defeat the clone without Naruto being implicated.
The seal he used was pretty low level, it was meant to capture academy students and cause disruptions to their chakras. It was pretty easy to break out for any ninja since they knew the Nawanuke no Jutsu (Rope Escape Technique). But for supernaturals, it would be a decent enough trap to make it seem like the fallen's kidnapper was genuinely trying to keep her bound.
