Naruto's knees clamp down, weight pitched forward to minimize his wind resistance and keep himself from being thrown by the sudden shift in altitude. In the second after the dragon roars he can hear his teammates shouting for him, he can hear Sakura telling him to jump.

The first short knife is plunged through his own hand- pinning Naruto to the side of the dragon's face in order to keep himself balance- and the second is wedged into the beast's eye. The shriek that follows is deafening, and it guarantees a swift, if faltering, descent some short distance away from his allies.]
