Hello, my readers! This story is kind of the reverse of what we're all used to. Normally, it's always the clumsy damsel in distress who is sent to the Narutoverse. Either that, or some random girl who suddenly acquires amazing ninja abilities. Neither of these ideas make sense either, as the protagonist usually falls through a random portal.
I'm hoping that this story acts as a nice refresher, for you readers and myself especially. I hope you enjoy! I do not own Naruto.
Supermassive Black Hole by Muse
"Spread out," Kiba ordered.
His two teammates nodded at his command, and in the blink of an eye, Shino and Hinata had leaped away. The dog ninja and his faithful canine companion continued forward. Sending chakra to his nose to enhance his sense of smell, Kiba tried to locate the target.
Nothing.
The brown-haired seventeen-year-old growled. The man his team was after was very quick when it came to escaping. The teens had found the target twice already, and both times, the rogue ninja had used his space continuum jutsu to disappear. This wild goose chase was getting rather annoying now.
If Kurenai had been with them, they probably would have been able to take down the missing-nin by now. But seeing as she was taking care of the late Asuma's child, there was no way she could join them for this mission. Now Kiba was placed as team leader until Tsunade could find a suitable jounin to lead Team Kurenai.
"Kiba," Shino's voice echoed in the Inuzuka's ear, interrupting his thoughts.
Kiba placed his hand on the earpiece to respond. "What's up, Shino?" he said into the radio.
"My bugs have caught onto his location. He's headed toward the Lion's Fangs," Shino informed.
"Got it. You hear that, Hinata?" Kiba asked.
"Yes," the Hyuuga heiress replied.
"Let's head out and meet at a mile's radius from the mountain range," Kiba said.
"Right," the two other team members answered. Kiba turned the radio off and kicked into high gear to the mountain range that was named the Lion's Fangs. Akamaru stayed close on his master's heels.
The team huddled together in the cover of the trees. The full moon was shining brightly through the pitch black sky, illuminating the entire forest. The shinobi crouched to the ground as they finally neared the mountain range.
"Kiba, it is not a good idea to confront this man at night," Shino warned. "Waiting until morning so that we have daylight to see what is going on is the wiser choice."
"I know," the squad leader said. "But it took forever to find him. We'll lose him if we let this chance get away from us."
"Why don't we use Shino's Kikaichu bugs to stay with him? That way, we'll be able to track him even if he teleports away," Hinata suggested.
"I tried it already," Shino admitted. "When he uses his space continuum techniques, it kills the bugs. They can't handle the force that comes with teleportation and space manipulation."
"Right, so our best option is to keep him immobilized now so we can take him down," Kiba said. He turned to look at the only female member of the team. "Hinata, you think you can take care of that?"
"Y-Yes," Hinata stuttered, a little nervous at her task.
"Hey, don't worry about it," Kiba smiled in encouragement. "You can handle this."
The indigo-haired girl returned the smile. "Right."
"His teleportation technique takes five seconds to work before he completely vanishes," Shino said. "He needs to be immobilized before the interval is completed."
"Okay," Hinata nodded.
"Shino, once Hinata's got the guy in combat, use your bugs to surround him and enclose on him," Kiba said.
The bug user nodded his head. "What will you do?"
"I'm going to finish him off," Kiba growled lowly. "Let's do this thing."
Kontorouru Poutaru was very pleased with himself. Not only had he stolen a lot of money, he had also nabbed some fine jewelry from a small village in the Fire Country. Konoha Village had deployed a team to track him down, but he was too good for them. With his amazing abilities to bend space and matter, he was able to easily avoid the shinobi team.
Oh yes, Kontorouru was very proud of his techniques. And he was glad to be a rogue ninja. The Hidden Grass Village, his old home, had not appreciated his jutsu well enough, so he had left.
And life was good. With his techniques, he was easily able to steal money without anyone noticing him at all. And by selling the riches he stole, he had money coming out of the wazoo.
Kontorouru smirked to himself as he held up a diamond necklace that he had stolen from an elderly lady. "I can't wait to sell these diamonds."
A sudden rustling noise in the nearby bushes of the forest disrupted the thief's thoughts. The man quickly turned in the direction of the noise, a fierce snarl plastered on his face.
"Nobody sneaks up on me!" he yelled as he brought his hands together in a seal. "Psychic Style: Shadow Ball Blast!"
After forming the correct hand signs, the man placed his left hand to hover over the palm of his right. A dark sphere formed from thin air, and Kontorouru launched the mass of dark energy at the bushes. The brush was instantly vaporized, along with some nearby trees, and a small crater was formed in the ground.
Kontorouru glanced around suspiciously. Someone somewhere was trying to strike. Most likely, it was the Konoha tracking team.
"Which means it's time for me to leave,"Kontorouru thought to himself quickly. He rapidly brought his hands in a seal.
But before his technique could reach the full five seconds, he felt someone coming towards him. Not seeing anyone in front or coming from the side, he looked up. A dark-haired girl was dropping towards him, her hands raised up to strike him.
Kontorouru quickly dodged, his technique failing as his hands fell from the seal. He continued to maneuver away from Hinata's Gentle Fist strikes, but the girl refused to relent. The rogue ninja brought his hands together into quick seals, ready to use his own attack.
"Psychic Style: Midnight Slash!" Kontorouru yelled. Instantly, chakra-enhanced missiles appeared from the air as they launched themselves at Hinata.
However, a mass of Kikaichu bugs appeared in front of Hinata, absorbed the chakra, and rendered the thief's attacks useless. Kontorouru turned to see Shino standing a distance away, controlling the parasites. The missing-nin was about to use his techniques to get rid of the bugs, but his diverted attention left him wide open.
Hinata charged forward, her Gentle Fist ready, and she struck the opponent's left arm. Kontorouru's arm hung limply at his side. The thief growled at the two shinobi.
Suddenly, two spinning cyclones appeared from the forest trees, and they headed straight towards the enemy. The injured man rapidly jumped away, successfully dodging the Fang Over Fang attack.
Kiba and Akamaru joined their team members, getting into squad formation. Hinata stood on Kiba's right while Shino was on his left. The large dog was crouching in front of his owner, snarling fiercely.
"Shino, you got this?" Kiba whispered so the enemy couldn't hear him.
"Yes," Shino's deep voice whispered back.
The hooded ninja raised his arms, and his bugs followed the direction of his outstretched arms. The mass of parasites flew straight towards the enemy, nearly surrounding him. Refusing to back down, Kontorouru used his right arm to attack. He successfully conjured a space continuum technique that bent the atmosphere, thereby sending a majority of the bugs into another dimension.
Shino faltered at the loss of his bugs, but Hinata charged in while Kontorouru recuperated from the use of his technique. Moving quickly, the kunoichi successfully struck the enemy's other arm, rendering hand signs impossible.
"You stupid ninja!" the man cursed at the shinobi team.
"My turn!" Kiba bellowed as he ran forward with Akamaru on his heels.
With each step he took, Kiba became fiercer looking. His eyes became wilder, and his hands turned into claws. Akamaru bared his teeth and claws, and the pair leaped up to strike Kontorouru.
"I will not lose! Not yet!"Kontorouru hissed in his mind.
Quickly going through the correct chants in his mind, he summoned enough chakra into his lungs to complete his master technique. This jutsu needed no hand signs, only a few quick chants that could be said inwardly. This technique was his trump card.
"Psychic Style: Black Hole Jutsu!" he yelled. He sucked in as much air as his lungs would allow, and then his body mixed his chakra with the inhaled air. Kontorouru quickly blew the air from his mouth, and a giant rift in the atmosphere appeared. A black hole formed in front of the user, almost acting as a shield.
Kiba faltered, trying to get away from the black hole as it began to suck in anything and everything that was nearby. He and Akamaru quickly jumped to the ground, clawing at the dirt to stay in place. But the rift in the space was very strong as it continued to suck in the air, pulling the ninja with it.
Shino and Hinata were on the forest's edge, grasping the trees to stay in place. The bug user tried sending his Kikaichu parasites to save Kiba and Akamaru, who were slowing being dragged closer and closer to the black hole. But the bugs could not get close enough to the ninja and his dog without being sucked into the rift.
"Crap!"Kiba yelled inwardly as he felt his body inching ever so slowly towards the black hole.
The brown-haired ninja tried pulling himself forward across the ground, away from the atmospheric maelstrom. The large ninja hound followed suit, using his paws to get away from the opponent and his jutsu. The pair inched forward, but the dark whirlpool only seemed to be getting stronger.
Sending chakra into his hands, Kiba held onto the ground for dear life. Kontorouru began to laugh maniacally as the black hole started to suck in all different forms of nature. Bushes were being uprooted from the ground, and branches were flying over Kiba's head as the maelstrom ate everything in sight.
Dirt and debris were flying into the dog ninja's eyes as everything was absorbed into the whirlpool. Kiba blinked the dust away… just in time to see a well-sized rock headed straight for him.
"You have got to be kidding me…"Kiba stared at the boulder in shock.
His whole mind went numb as the rock hit him right on the top of his head. A sharp shooting pain coursed through his head, and then he felt nothing. Losing touch with his consciousness, his hands slowly slipped from the ground, and his body was easily absorbed into the black hole. Akamaru barked urgently as he watched his master disappear into the dark abyss. Being the ever so faithful canine that he is, the white dog leaped from the ground, letting the wind carry him into the maelstrom after his owner.
"Kiba! Akamaru!" Hinata shrieked in panic. But it was no use.
They were gone.
The rift in the atmosphere slowly disintegrated into nothing, and Kontorouru collapsed to his knees in exhaustion. His best technique… his strongest jutsu… his trump card… it succeeded. Sure, the rest of the Konoha team was still present. But to send someone to another dimension… it felt so…
So good.
A sudden pain shot through his cranium from behind. The thief fell forward to the ground, unable to move any part of his body now. Black spots appeared in his vision, and he could barely make out the outlines of two people standing over him.
One figure reached down and pulled him up so that Kontorouru was face to face with his new captor. "Where did you send him? Where is my comrade?" Shino snarled in his deep voice. Normally, he wouldn't let his emotions get the better of him. But he had just watched one of his closest friends disappear off the face of the earth. He would consider this an exception.
Pfft, this hooded sunglasses-wearing ninja wanted to know where his missing teammate was. Kontorouru snickered inwardly; he would have laughed in the other guy's face, but he could barely breathe, his muscles hurt so much.
Kontorouru's Black Hole Jutsu always succeeded. No matter if it was one man or a hundred; when you were in range of the dark whirlpool, you were done for. And his technique was unpredictable. It absorbed anything and everything, and the black hole could send those things into either another place on the continent, or a completely different dimension. Where those things ended up, Kontorouru could care less.
The rogue ninja stared up at Shino. He couldn't see Shino's vicious glare, since his face was covered by his sunglasses and jacket. But Kontorouru did not care. He had found his satisfaction in getting rid of the Leaf ninja and his stupid dog.
Kontorouru forced his mouth to move to answer Shino's question, his muscles aching at the strenuous work. "I don't know," he forced his voice to say. The full moon shedded its light on the scene, illuminating his face in the dark shadows. He grinned evilly up at the remaining team members.
