Hippolyta stood between the two fighters. Coughing, she cleared her throat. "Very well, this will be a friendly match between Antiope, general of the Amazons." At her introduction, all the Amazons cheered for their sister, who raised her arm in victory. Everyone fell silent when they saw their Queen raise her hand. "And Naruto..." An awkward silence followed. Crossing his arms, the Uzumaki glared at all the Amazons.
"Ha... ha... ha. That's childish, you know," he complained with a sigh. However, the sound of a pair of small hands clapping could be heard. Everyone looked toward a shy Diana.
"Come on, Naruto!" she shouted as loudly as she could while continuing to clap. Everyone looked at the little black-haired girl.
"Oh, I won't disappoint you, my little fan," the blond said as he wiped away imaginary tears. When the fight began, the Amazons' shouts of support for their general filled the arena.
"Break his back!"
"Rip his head off!"
"Rip out his spine and shove it up his ass!" More and more shouts could be heard, sending a shiver through the shinobi's entire body. And the sight of Antiope's faint, sinister smile didn't help matters. Pushing those thoughts aside, he took on a more serious expression.
The two stood face-to-face. Smiling, they both began to put some distance between themselves. Both the Queen and the Amazons watched as the fight began. The Amazon was quick to make the first move. Taking her bow and arrows, she fired. Naruto quickly used his swords to cut down the arrows coming toward him, but several began to graze him. Sheathing his swords, he ran across the battlefield and had to dodge a rain of arrows.
"Not bad," the Uzumaki said as he drew his swords again. Once more, dozens of arrows flew toward the blond, who cut or broke them with his swords. Finally, Antiope ran out of arrows. Smiling, the blond sheathed his swords, but when he looked at his chest, he saw four arrows embedded in his torso. "Oh shit... Your arrows are fast." Some of the Amazons watched with disgust and disbelief as the Uzumaki pulled the arrows out of his body with a slight expression of pain. His wounds quickly healed. Without losing his smile, the blond leaped toward his opponent, who threw her bow aside. Grabbing her spear, she threw it with all her strength.
The blond quickly had to move to the side to avoid being pierced, only for Antiope to appear in front of him when he let his guard down and tackle him with her shield. Skidding backward, the shinobi growled. This wasn't going to be easy. Drawing his swords, he attacked his opponent, who had no trouble keeping up with him while using her own sword.
"Careless," Antiope said as she quickly used her sword to slash the Uzumaki's hand, forcing him to drop one of his swords. Without stopping there, the Amazon used her shield to strike his second sword, breaking it. Finally, the woman kicked the blond hard in the stomach, causing him to fall to his knees. Disappointed, the Amazon pointed her sword toward the Uzumaki, who remained with his head lowered. "Is that all...?" she asked in disappointment, having expected a real challenge. However, by the time she saw the blond's smile, it was too late to retreat.
"No... That's not all." Leaping up, he used his hand to deflect her sword. Without hesitation, he delivered a powerful headbutt to the Amazon, forcing her to step back. Pulling a kunai from his sleeve, the blond attacked. Gripping her sword firmly, Antiope attacked as well.
Sparks flew with every blow they exchanged, until, caught up in the battle, the Amazon once again used her shield to disarm the Uzumaki. Without thinking twice, she ran him through with a thrust of her sword. Everyone watched the killing in disbelief. Shocked, the woman was about to pull her sword out when she saw the blond transform into a log in a burst of smoke.
"What?" She barely managed to finish the question before receiving a powerful right-handed punch to the face, only to receive another blow from the other side, followed by a hard upward kick to her chin. The kick sent her several meters into the air before she fell hard to the ground. Quickly getting back to her feet, she saw them.
"Alright, guys... Let's show her the Uzumaki style," said the blond, commanding dozens of clones who shouted a loud "Hai!"
"This is impossible..." said one of the many Amazons, staring in disbelief at this magic, if it could even be called that. She wasn't the only one, as all the others watched in amazement. In the distance stood Diana, who had a smile from ear to ear. This was the coolest thing she had ever seen.
(You're a box full of surprises, Naruto, ) Hippolyta thought as she watched the fight.
"So this is what a shinobi is capable of..." Getting up, Antiope smiled with excitement. It had been a long time since she'd had an interesting fight. Wiping away the blood running down her lip, she prepared herself. Throwing her shield, she struck one of the clones. She then ran toward them, and the clones did the same. Jumping into the air, she kicked one of them and slashed another across the shoulder, causing both to disappear.
"Don't get too confident!" One of the many clones grabbed the Amazon's ankles. With great force, he threw her against the ground, creating a small crater. The Amazon kicked the clone holding her, only to feel all the remaining clones throwing themselves on top of her. In this particular scene, we could see more than twenty-five blonds piled on top of the Amazon. "Umm..." muttered one of the clones in the pile, confused when he noticed that they were all slowly being lifted.
"Haaaaaa!" the Amazon screamed as she released a burst of strength, sending all the clones flying dozens of meters away and causing them to disappear. Trying to catch her breath, she drove her sword into the ground. Looking up, she saw Naruto standing there with a serious expression.
"You're strong... But you still haven't seen anything yet." With those words, his eyelids turned orange, and his eyes changed, becoming similar to those of a toad. Remaining calm, he watched as the Amazon came running toward him with her sword raised.
"Take this!" the woman shouted as she was about to drive her sword into the Uzumaki's chest, but he remained still. However, at the last second, everyone watched as the blond shattered the sword into thousands of pieces with his hands. He then delivered a powerful punch to Antiope's stomach, causing her to spit out saliva and lose her breath from the blow. Sent flying through the air, she landed more than a hundred meters away from Naruto, who remained serious.
