"GET BACK! EVERYONE GET BACK!!!" The Tsuchikage yelled. Too late, one of the tails of the gigantic demon came sweeping across the clearing sending many shinobi high into the air with a sickening noise.

The Leader of Iwagakure cursed to himself. They're village was in bad enough shape without the attack of a demon let alone the most powerful one of all. Just then, his train of thought was cut short by the whoosh of another tail.

"Lord Tsuchikage!" One of the Shinobi yelled out to him. After swiftly dodging the flying rocks the Anbu that had called out to him appeared at his side. "We can't defeat this Monster!" More debris few at them and the ground shook violently as the demon howled into the starless midnight sky. Then, the Tsuchikage closed his eyes and then almost immediately opened them. "If we can't defeat it," he said making hand signs of the most complicated sort. "Then we'll have to seal it!!!"

"You mean-" The Anbu said staring at him. "Yes Ketsuno, The Fuin jutsu is our only hope." Ketsuno gulped and nodded. "Now for the last time Ketsuno, Assist me…" Then Ketsuno made hand signs and bit his finger until blood flowed.

"Kuchiyose No Jutsu!" Ketsuno put his hand on the ground and smoke quickly engulfed them as they rose higher and higher into the air. As the smoke cleared another earsplitting cry rang out from under them. The song of a phoenix.

"Thank you for coming Tsubame-sama." Ketsuno said patting the feathers under him. The gigantic bird felt Ketsuno pat her in the head and she slightly bowed her acknowledgment.

"It's the least I can do. What have we here…" Tsubame glared at the demon standing in front of her. "Ketsuno, how did the Juubi escape from the tomb?" Ketsuno was perplexed, but he didn't have time to answer before The Juubi launched itself at them and Tsubame swiftly dodged the attack by flying high into the air and circling around its head.

"What do you mean escaped?!" He said covering his ears as the Juubi howled up at them.

"The Juubi was sealed inside a tomb deep into the earth almost 100,000 years ago by the leaders of the summoned tribes. HOW DID SHE ESCAPE?!!!!"

Great... more bad news…The Tsuchikage thought, then he said, "I have no Idea, but what will it take to seal it again?!"

"Human blood," She replied dodging a fire ball that was shot from the Juubi's mouth, then it spoke.

"GET DOWN HERE YOU FILTHY PHEASANT!" This insult made Tsubame mad. She screeched down at the Juubi releasing her own fiery attack upon it. "You dim-witted wolf!" She shot back at it, using fire that sprouted from her wings to attack. "You should learn how to fight before you take me on!!"

"Tsubame! Calm Yourself!!" The Tsuchikage screamed at her as the Juubi roared in anger. "There are still shinobi on the ground around The Juubi!!!" Tsubame quickly stemmed the flow of fire that was raining down on the terrain.

"Forgive me-" "TSUBAME!! ENOUGH!" He yelled at the top of his lungs cutting her off. "Now, will my blood be enough?!"

"No!" Tsubame said as one of the wolf's tails grazed her neck. "You need two human sacrifices to take down this S.O.B.!"

"Good thing I'm here," Said someone behind Ketsuno. The three quickly glanced over their shoulders to see who it was.

"Ryoshi," Said the Tsuchikage worriedly. The Brother of the Tsuchikage looked like he had just gone through a paper shredder. Five long gashes scaled the length of his body covering his torn clothing with blood.

"It's ok, brother, I'm ready." Ryoshi said coughing up some blood. The Tsuchikage hesitated, then nodded.

"Tsubame, take us as close as you can!"

"No problem Sandaime-sama!" Tsubame said and she wheeled to face the Juubi. As soon as she was as close as she could get, Tsubame let out a battle cry that startled the Juubi. The Tsuchikage and his brother then used each other's hands to make the Fuin Jutsu hand signs and together they shouted.

"SEALING JUTSU: DOUBLE TETRAGRAM SEAL!!!!!!!!!!!"
