The clone dubbed as Naruto-1 was laying low as the Gremory team was scouring the forest for him.
They'd never find him at this rate, not unless he was close enough for Koneko-san to use her sensor skills to find him.
Their last clash was meant for the clone to study how they fought and then make counterattacks for them, fortunately for him...their attacks were full of weaknesses.
Easily exploitable ones at that.
Those weaknesses had to be revealed to them or they will be used against them.
Like in about...oh...a few minutes?
By yours truly of course.
The best way to find out about your weakness...was to have it used against you blatantly.
He had their best interests at heart after all, as allies in their 'Kuoh Pact' he would help them.
It totally wasn't true that he was getting his kicks by poking fun at their fighting skills...
Honest.
With a grin, he made a familiar hand seal that made the shape of a cross. He didn't need jutsus to beat them really...but if he wanted to have the most fu-...he meant help them out in the best way...he had to show them...
Show them just how bad it was that they showed a ninja their weaknesses!
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!"
The 'Two Great Ladies' of Kuoh Academy were currently floating in the air, looking around for their quarry.
"Damn it...how did he get away?" Rias questioned with an annoyed frown.
Obviously they lost their quarry.
"He was quite fast Buchou. Honestly, I'm surprised that we managed to follow him as long as we did. What with the canopies and all." Akeno replied while looking around. The crafty clone was jumping from tree branch to tree branch while using the canopies to cover his escape.
Was he playing the waiting game or something else?
Rias didn't reply, she just looked down to check on Yuuto and Koneko.
They were a bit more tired than them, running took more energy than flying. So they were resting for a moment before returning to the chase.
As Rias was checking on her cute servants on the ground, she failed to notice something come flying out from the canopies towards her.
Fortunately someone else did.
"Buchou! Watch out!" Akeno cried out while pushing her king out of the way of the projectiles.
She was successful, as both teenaged girls narrowly dodged the small rocks that were set against them.
But they weren't the only ones under attack...
Several rocks that had suspicious tags on them were sent towards Koneko and Yuuto, while they were distracted with what was going on in the air.
By the time either of them realized what was going on, explosions rang out near them which forced them to move out of the widespread destruction.
The entire group was left in disarray as flying rocks continued to pepper the flying king and queen, which prevented them from fighting back. Meanwhile, explosions forced the knight and rook away from one another due to the danger of providing a perfect target opportunity.
Just as was planned.
The Naruto clone decided to really drive his point home however.
Two clones more clones appeared next to Naruto-1 and began working together to form a rasengan...
But no ordinary rasengan...
"Futon: Rasengan...!" Naruto-1 whispered as the orb coalesced on one of the other clone's palm.
Now for their plan's fruition!
Naruto-1 nodded to the clones to continue as he backed away and dashed to find a safe location. He was a clone that would pop if he took damage after all.
The remaining clones then began to work together to destabilize the wind inside the jutsu...
Just a little more and...
"Akeno! Are you ok!?" Rias shouted out towards her best friend as they reformed back together after dodging the numerous projectiles.
"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you Rias." Akeno said gratefully, forgetting about their gap of social standing for a moment due to the circumstances.
Rias nodded at that and glared towards where the rocks came from, she could take a good guess on who threw them...
She was about to use her Power of Destruction to destroy the tree which no doubt housed their target but...
Before she was able to, the tree exploded and a tornado formed right on top of it!
She gaped at the gale-force winds that appeared all of a sudden, where the hell did that come from!?
The elemental forces began to pull her in and about as her wings were getting caught in the powerful suction of the wind.
She quickly turned around in order to find Akeno and coordinate a counterattack, but she couldn't find her.
No doubt she was caught in the winds herself and sent flying somewhere due to the sheer power behind it...not even mentioning how it thoroughly caught them off guard.
She had no control over her flight and was at the complete mercy of the winds, she wasn't even able to concentrate on using her demonic energy to get herself out of this mess...the winds were very distracting.
It didn't help that the winds carried sharp wind blades that attacked her body and left superficial but still painful wounds. It was a constant attack that kept getting spun around inside the artificial tornado.
As she was trying to find a way out of her predicament, she spotted something punch their way through the winds...
She widened her eyes...it was the Naruto clone!
She tried to use her wings to move out of the way, but he was moving too quick to dodge even if she wasn't handicapped as she was.
She clenched her eyes shut...this was going to hurt.
But instead of the painful blow that she was expecting, all she felt was a pair of arms snake their way around her. Keeping her arms bound close to her body.
She opened her eyes in shock to stare at a face that had a toothy grin plastered all over it.
