Revival of the Knights – Vengeance will be Served
(The following fanfic takes place after Naruto the Movie 2)
The cursed seal produces different effects on the three women.
For example, Ranke is now able to utilize more powerful versions of her lightning attacks in her Gelel Stone form without having to transform into her second state. Her second state consists of turning her skin grey and having various stitches appearing on her arms and face, making her look like she was stitched up. And by converting into that form, Ranke's taijustsu skills are improved considerably along with the potency of her lightning jutsu.
Kamina, on the other hand, is granted access to an array of powerful genjutsu. In her second state, she sprouts two wings on her back, granting her flight. She also gains a superior sense of hearing.
Lastly, Fugai's durability, stamina and strength are increased. In her second state, her head becomes more like a wolf while her hands become claws. While in this form, she becomes more agile and her strength is further amplified.
Unbeknownst to Orochimaru, the cursed seals' destructive mechanism is negated due to the three's exposure to the Gelel Stone. Because of that, they are not affected by its deadly side effects unlike Sasuke.
The first thing the trio did after escaping Orochimaru's lair is to find the current location of their killers. The trio interrogates a lot of civilians but they prove to be useless as none of them recognize the names. It seems hopeless until the three come upon Sasame Fuma who recognizes one of the names they were looking for.
Sasame, thinking that the three were probably new friends of Naruto, immediately told them that they must be back in the Hidden Leaf Village after completing a mission about a mysterious stone.
And this was all the three needed.
After two days, the trio left the village and embarked to Naruto's village.
During the journey, the three come upon a forest, entirely devastated by what seems to be a cutting whirlwind. Upon reaching the other side, Ranke finds a girl, half-crushed by the debris. She approaches her and finds out that she is still half-alive.
"Poor most unfortunate girl. Let me help you," Ranke comments as she uses her Tornado Lightning to cut through the debris.
She lifts the red-haired girl up and places her on a level ground where she brings her back to life with Electrical Resuscitation Technique where Ranke places her hands on the girl's chest and gives the heart a minor surge of electricity to revive her. The effect immediately takes place and the girl stands on her feet.
"Oh, thank you very much. I thought I was gonna be left for dead after that Hidden Leaf shithead and Hidden Sand homicidal bitch got me," says the girl.
"It was nothing. May I ask you one thing? Who were they?" asks Ranke.
"Oh alright, and can you fix my flute? 'Coz that's like my only weapon out here."
"Sure. That's gonna be easy." Ranke then welds the flute back together and hands it back to the girl.
"The Leaf ninja uses that Shadow Possession jutsu while the Sand uses a fan to guide her wind attacks."
"I see. That must be the piece of trash Kamina was talking about. Thanks. I must be going back to my friends now. You better head back to your home," says Ranke as she goes to find her companions.
"Okay, see ya," the girl says, smiling. "Wish you a good day."
Just as the blonde left, the girl summons three demons at her side and starts playing her flute.
The next day, Kamina, Ranke and Fugai arrive at the Hidden Leaf Village. At once, they don disguises as a bunch of kunoichi from the Hidden Rain Village, complete with forehead protectors they have stolen from three sleeping ninjas in the forest. They then proceed to find their opponents.
She sits on the fence, looking at the red-haired guy talking to a small child. As the child leaves, she gets down and approaches the guy. The guy seems surprised and seems to doubt what he has just seen. But it is a real deal. Ranke is alive!
"What's the matter? Shocked? Haha! Then, you'll be electrocuted this time!" Ranke taunts Gaara.
"Not yet. I've beat you once. I'll beat you again!" And he proceeds to pummel her with Sand Shuriken.
Ranke responds by dodging the attacks with cartwheels. She then uses Storm Cutter where she cartwheels to Gaara while her whole body releases a high voltage of electricity. This allows her to deflect Gaara's attacks while approaching him. And should Gaara allow her to get closer, he will surely be fried.
Gaara retreats several steps backward and stops attacking. Ranke stops as well and prepares to deal another strike when Gaara proceeds to use Sand Coffin on her. She counters with Magnetizing Rotation where she spins around much like Neji's 8 Trigrams Heavenly Spin. However, her technique sends out electricity as well, placing electrical charges on the sand particles. And because of that, Ranke is now able to control those electrically charged sand grains.
"I hope you're not a crybaby now that you've lost the control of your only weapon," Ranke says mockingly. Then, she proceeds to strike Gaara with her newly-acquired weapon with steady streams of sand.
"Man, she's gotten a lot stronger."
Meanwhile, Kamina approaches Shikamaru and Kankuro. Both are taken aback by the emergence of their vanquished enemy. Kamina laughs at their reaction.
"Missed me so much, boys? Hahaha!"
Kankuro laughs, "Why would we? Even if you're alive, you're still no match for us!" He stealthily maneuvers Kuroari behind Kamina.
"Oh really? What makes you think about that? You think you're puppet technique will work again on me?" Kamina scoffs at the puppet user.
"Yes, it will. Now, Kuroari! Black Secret Technique Two Shot!"
The puppet captures Kamina and its four scythe-like blades run along the sides of Kuroari's body. She gives out a short scream.
"That was easy. And I didn't even need to do anything," Shikamaru says.
But then, Kamina reappears behind Kankuro and karate chops him on the neck. Shikamaru tries to throw a bunch of kunai at Kamina who hardly noticed his movements. Just as the kunai hit her, she dispersed into several bats and disappears.
"Great. We're caught her genjutsu," says Shikamaru worriedly.
"Wow. You've finally figured it out. Still, I'm not gonna finish both of right now 'coz that wouldn't be fun. Right, boys?" Kamina's voice teases them playfully.
"Any bright ideas?" Kankuro asks Shikamaru.
"Not yet. But we have to look out. She can just appear anywhere in this illusion," Shikamaru warns Kankuro.
"Right you are!" Kamina, with her bat wings, screeches as she dive-bombs on them. However, on the last minute, Shikamaru is able to get her with a shuriken. But that gesture proves useless enough when Kamina splits into two to evade the attack.
"Just admit it. You're trapped. Now writhe in pain!" Both Kaminas say scornfully.
Sakura and Naruto are getting beaten badly by Fugai. And the woman is barely getting warmed up. She sends the two amateurs flying into a wall with her Destruction Roar.
"Oww. That hurts," Naruto whines as he gets up.
"Naruto, you have to go get help. We're definitely no match for her," Sakura says.
"No way. I'm not leaving you behind," Naruto answers.
"That's cute but still pointless!" Fugai says as she nears the two. "Stay out of this fight, young man, or I'll be forced to rip you into shreds after I make her ears bleed."
"I made a promise before never to leave any of my friends. And I'm not going to break it just so I could live while I watch my teammate die," Naruto says angrily.
"Then, watch this! Lupine Domination!" Fugai lunges at Naruto and pummels him with heavy blows. She then punches him right in the face with tremendous force that renders Naruto unconscious.
"Now where were we? Right, time to start screaming, little bitch! Roar of Armageddon!"
Fugai releases a roar with so much chakra that Sakura is knocked backwards by the power of the jutsu. But it does not stop there. Sakura begins to feel dizzy and starts to stagger.
"Love my voice, don't you? Let me put you to eternal sleep! Hahaha! Storm of Sound Waves!"
Fugai lets out a cry so piercing that Sakura then drops to her knees with her ears ringing like hell. And her sense of sight dwindles. She has lost. Fugai picks her up and throws her forcefully beside Naruto.
It's a reverse checkmate for Gaara. He is caught in his own weapon. And no matter how he tries to regain control of his sand he can't. Ranke has enveloped each particle with electricity and therefore she is able to disrupting Gaara's own chakra within them. Now, she has him enclosed in sand up to the neck.
"Any last words? None? Well, that's okay. After all, no one's here to take note of that. Not that I care," laughs Ranke. "Electrical Manipulation of Sand Waterfall Imperial Funeral!"
Gaara is then dragged down into the bowels of the earth via his sand.
Ranke smirks, "Now you'll find out how it looked like in my place."
Kamina is getting bored, toying with her not-very-challenging opponents. She approaches Shikamaru's body which is petrified with fear. She takes out a kunai from his pocket and quickly puts an end to the Leaf Ninja. She then looks at Kankuro. She unhesitatingly strangles him to death.
"Nice playing with you boys. But you were boring. Anyways, I've got places to go, things to do and people to meet. Ta-ta," Kamina says, leaving the two dead bodies behind.
The next morning, the people of the Hidden Leaf Village find four dead ninjas. The only survivor is Naruto who suffered internal damage due to an artery being severed by the impact Fugai's blows. No one knows who killed them but one thing is for sure. That very morning three Hidden Rain kunoichi left the village, smiling and laughing.
