Note: I have added a silver belt to Urufu's outfit, old and new. I have also switched Kuerenai with Anko. Kurenai stayed in Konoha, while Anko went with Asuma and Shizune. Hey! I got 100 more hits in the last 24 hours (not incredible) BUT NOT ONE OF THE PEOPLE REVIEWED! I am not Nearly as annoying with reviews after about 20 reviews, but that won't happen at this rate. PLEASE REVIEW! I have recently found out that Asuma dies late in the series, so pretend he's still alive in this story. This chapter will feature an Urufu battle, but most of her jutsus are made up since there haven't been any Kusagakure ninjas to take jutsus from. So feast your eyes on…

Chapter 3

The two shinobi bounced of the trees, leaving large holes as a mark of their sheer power. After an hour or so, they rested, and they feasted upon the fish that lay in the nearby river. When they finished eating, they sat around and soaked in the comforting heat of the flames coming from the crackling fire.

"You're quite the cook, Urufu." Naruto complimented.

"Stop flirting. We have to get down to business. The fact of the matter is that we will not be able to keep this up. No matter how much food we have, how skilled we are, they will find a way to take us down. I'd rather not go back to that hell on Earth known as Kusagakure. I'm sure you feel the same way about your village to have almost killed your old master. What was that genjutsu anyway, it was amazing, yet disturbing." The Kusagakuren Kunoichi asked.

"Three things, one, as I said, it gathers every enemy the person had ever faced in their lifetime and dish out some revenge. Than, since the person is fighting me, I come as the coupe de grace, and finish the job. Two, what pain I had to endure during those 15 horrible years of living their, I was knocked out for a whole year, so that gave me some alone time, but there were few that respected me, all the rest hated me, all because of the monster inside me. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is a burden and a beneficial thing to have, but you wouldn't know about that." The Konohagakure Shinobi asked back.

"I'd know more than you think." Urufu thought, blowing her hair out of her face.

"And three, what did you do out there? That was an odd type of jutsu that I've never seen." Naruto stated in amazement as he recalled the whirlwind of leaves that became the finishing blow to Kakashi.

"As you saw, a whirlwind picks up my foe, and all floras (plants) by it are picked up and turned into projectiles. I can manipulate the winds speed, power, and where the projectiles hit, but it takes much less charka to let it run it's own. I only control everything when I'm up against a worthy opponent."

"If he comes, than you'll be getting that opponent soon enough." Naruto thought.

"Well, your right, we have to make some precautions so they can't spot us as easily. I doubt that after a couple of hours they could've spread the word very far. Let's go to the next village, rest, and get rid of these torn clothes. They obviously put up posters of me in the vicinity of Konoha, though I'm not sure about you. But we can be sure that they have not spread this far, or else our bodies would be stained with the blood of lowly villagers. So here's the plan. We go into the next town, regardless of its size, poverty, etc. We then go and buy new clothing the second we arrive. We eat as much as we can afford, buy supplies, and were out. We can't mingle with the locals or anything. We have to make it quick. We must change every physical trait about ourselves. Hair, clothes, we might even wear masks. We cannot afford to be caught. But before we go, you need to fix my arm." The red-haired shinobi pointed to his arm, which was not in incredible shape. She repaired it in a matter of seconds, fully bandaged and all. With that, they put out the fire that was down to its last crackle, and ran fast; knowing shinobi would be onto the scent and smoke left behind.

Sakura, Lee, and Kakashi

The three shinobi had just arrived at Konoha, Lee supporting the limp lump of flesh known as Kakashi. They took him to the ER, where he was operated on for hours on end. All seemed lost for the silver haired warrior. Sakura observed the jonin, and she cringed at the thought that Naruto and that other, mysterious girl had done it. His silver hair, once a marvel for its uniqueness, but now it was messy and tinted with his own blood. He cuts, punctures, bruises, anything imaginable all over his body as a result of Naruto's new technique. Naruto had broken his arm so intensely, the knuckles on his right hand were touching the back of his shoulder (he bent his elbow backwards hard enough to break it, if you didn't catch that). Even marks of when his head was removed by Zabuza were visible. That girl did irreparable damage as well. Her leaves were lodged in deep, and seeing how most were right next to his vital organs, one mistake would end his life. But the worst was how the Sharingan was ripped out of its socket. Kakashi had felt the pain before, but it was cut out. To have it ripped out, to feel the nerves separating away from your skull, must be horrible. But to add insult to injury, Naruto was just toying with him.

Luckily, Tsunade walked into the room, and assisted in the operation. If she had come 30 seconds later, Kakashi would've died, even with her help. At the end of the operation, the Hokage, Sakura and Lee all met outside.

"Tell me what you saw of the fight between Naruto and Kakashi. How much power has he gained?" Tsunade asked in a concerned tone.

"Well, we didn't see much, but what we did see was unbearable." Sakura explained.

"Yes, we will need to dismiss all teams and get every jonin on the case of this crisis." Lee added.

"He has really gotten strong then. You're right Lee, but we need to keep some jonin here to protect the village. Summon the following jonin: Kiba, Konohamaru, Genma, and Kurenai, and while you're at it, get Jiraiya as well."

"Lord Hokage, there's one more thing. He was with a lady, about 17 with blonde hair. She used a bizarre move; I think she called it 'Whirlwind of Bloody Leaves.'" When Sakura informed Tsunade of this girl and her jutsu, her eyes widened. "No" she whispered under her breath.

"BOTH OF YOU GET THE NINJA I TOLD YOU TO IMMEDIATELY! THAT GIRL IS BRINGING ABOUT EVEN MORE DANGER THAT IS ALREADY AT OUR DOORSTEP!" The jonin nodded and sped off.

Naruto and Urufu

The duo eventually came up to a small town. Above their heads was an old, beaten sign that read "Lotus Village." It creaked as the wind knocked it around on its rusty chains. The wall surrounding the village was beaten as well, it had abundant amount of holes and cracks. As they walked into the small village, they saw that it didn't exactly have what you'd call wealthy residents.

They walked through the town, observing the beaten up homes and stores, and watching sick mothers try to care for their even sicker child. They were constantly asked for money by people dressed in ragged, dirty clothing. Sadly, they weren't in a condition to give away money. After about 20 minutes of searching, they found a decent looking clothes store. They walked in and saw a store with plenty of clothes, suitable to help disguise them. They agreed to meet at the register in a half an hour.

When they were done, they were both satisfied with their new attires. Naruto was dressed in a simple blue t-shirt, matched with red, baggy pants with streaks of black and orange on the sides and through the knees. Urufu was dressed in a gold shirt with black sleeves and gold pants that were black around the ankles. She also wore sunglasses to hide her gold eyes, which were unique and could easily give her away. They paid for the surprisingly cheap goods and went to a haircutter.

Naruto's hair was cut a bit shorter, and it was let down, so it would cover his eyes. He also had it dyed black, seeing how it's much more common than red hair. Urufu just had her hair combed back, nothing other than that. Next, they went and ate, which they weren't so lucky with. Their food was rotten and unappetizing, but it was the best they could get. After that, they left the town. They just had one last thing to do. Urufu gladly ripped off her Kusaga hitai-ate and dispatch of it. But Naruto stared at his, thinking to get rid of it or not. To get rid of it would make it much safer to travel, but to throw it away; he would throw away the only thing to remind him of Iruka, his favorite person in the world. It would signify he would never want to remember the first person to fully acknowledge his existence and not see him as a monster. He had to decide now…

Konoha

Kiba, Kurenai, Genma, Sakura, Lee, Konohamaru, and Jiraiya all gathered in the Godaime's office. Her face was expressionless, but that signaled that there was something terribly wrong. She stood up and began to speak.

"You are the last of the shinobi that we are sending out if the village to aid in this conflict. You are all going to be assigned a nation to go to, alert the leader of the situation, and stay in that nation until the conflict is over. You Jiraiya, of course, do not have to participate. You usually do not do these types of things, but the fact that Naruto's life could rest in your hands changes your decision, doesn't it? Anyway, Kurenai and Kiba will go to the Land of Clouds, Genma will go to the Land of Stones, Sakura and Lee to the Land of Sand, Konohamaru to the Land of Grass, and Jiraiya, I ask you to stay here, and do anything I say, is that clear?"

"Yes, but what about the Sound and Water nations?" Jiraiya asked.

"I doubt that they can cross the ocean to reach the Water nation, and Naruto would have the whole Sound nations chasing him all over if he was to step foot within the nation. He killed their founder, if all of you recall. Now, there's one thing more that I must point out. He is traveling with another person, a blonde according to Sakura. She also said that this girl is quite powerful, and hearing the ninjutsu she used, I was positive who it was. It is none other than Sasake Urufu." Tsunade informed with a face of the utmost seriousness.

Kurenai and Genma gasped as they heard the Leader of Konoha say the name of the mysterious girl. "You mean you tell us that SHE, of ALL people, is traveling with Naruto when the Kyuubi shall possibly break free. This is horrible." Kurenai said in a frightened manner.

"I'm confused; why would this girl be such an extreme problem?" Lee asked, scratching his chin.

"No one would expect you to know why," Genma started "Sasake Urufu, a member of a prestigious clan (I took the last name of a sight, so forgive me if that's your family name and you are insulted for any reason) from the Village Hidden in the Grass; but they are not so high and mighty now. During that time, a war between Kusagakure and Iwagakure/Village Hidden in the Stones was waging, and the Sasakes were a target of the war, for they were a huge part of the economy. They were the head of all trading that went on in the nation. Without them, there was trade. Without trade, there was less food, money, or even weapons. So they had to protect them more than anyone. Every Sasake died, except for Urufu and her mother, who died of a disease when Urufu was just 5 years old. 3 months later, the Six-Tailed Demon Wolf terrorized the nation. They sacrificed Urufu, seeing how she had nothing to live for, and sealed the demon inside of her.

"The reason it's so bad that they are together is because the Nine Tailed and Six Tailed Demons are brother and sister. You wouldn't exactly say they're friendly toward each other, but once the Fox breaks free, he would release his sister to battle, causing not only destruction on the battlefield, but death to those by it." At the end of the lecture, the younger jonin all went wide eyed.

"So you're saying that, if the Fox is released, ANOTHER DEMON WILL BE RELESED SIMULTANIOUSLY!" Kiba shouted in disbelief.

"Yes, and it's not even positive that they will fight each other. They might want to stretch their legs and kill countless people. The situation was bad before, but now; all life as we know it will be destroyed, no matter what is done after both Demons are freed. Now make haste, there are only 6 days before the Solstice, and time is ticking away." Tsunade said gravely. All the shinobi started on their journeys to their designated nations.

Naruto and Urufu

The two shinobi were walking through the forest casually, catching up on each other's history.

"Well, I eat pretty much ramen only. If it's not ramen, there's a high chance I won't touch the stuff. How about you, what do you eat?" The black haired shinobi asked.

"What I eat is pretty much the same as what you do. We have more in common than I thought." The sunglass-wearing Kunoichi stated, staring into space.

"Yea, I guess your right." Naruto responded, scratching his head.

But this happy moment was soon lost, for Kurenai and Kiba were jumping through the trees. All of a sudden, he stopped.

"What's wrong? " Kiba's partner questioned.

"He's nearby. I can smell him." The dog-like shinobi responded, lifting his nose into the air.

"What? Are you sure?" Kurenai asked shockingly.

"I'm positive. LET'S MOVE!" The two black haired ninja lepta at high speeds, Kiba leading the way.

Both of the fugitive shinobi stopped. They sensed the danger. Both of them sprinted away, trying to outrun their foes. They did not keep this up for long, though. They knew that the other two ninja were well fed and very healthy. The Demon Duo could not say the same. They ran into the next clearing they saw, and stopped. The other shinobi followed suit. It eventually came to a stare down. Male vs. Male, Female vs. Female.

"So, once again we face Naruto, but this time, I doubt that you'll break wind at just the right time. I will bring you down." Kiba said, feeding Akamaru a rations pellet.

"I'd like to see you try, Kiba. So, let's not go into a long talk. Let's get to fighting." Naruto demanded, cracking his knuckles and entering a battle stance. Kiba and Akamaru used Jujin Bunshin/Man-Beast Doppelgangers, while Naruto evened the playing field and made some Shadow Doppelgangers, and the battle started.

"It's an honor to go up against a member of the Sasake clan. Shall we start?" Kurenai asked her enemy, preparing for battle.

Urufu took off her silver belt, made hand signs, and it was transformed into a masamune (Sephiroth Sword, if that helps). "Yes we shall." Urufu confirms, putting away her sunglasses and revealing her gleaming, golden eyes.

Naruto vs. Kiba

The shinobi launched at each other. The Shadow Doppelgangers went up against Akamaru, while the genuine articles faced each other. Kiba tried to use Shikyaku No Jutsu/ Down on All Fours Technique multiple times, but Naruto had surpassed such a feeble technique long ago.

Kiba realized the chips were down. He shouted to Akamaru "Commence Plan B!" The dog (in Kiba's form) nodded in agreement. They both used a smoke bomb; Naruto was completely blinded. When the smoke cleared, there were two more Naruto Doppelgangers.

Naruto chuckled, "So, you're pulling the trick I did at the chunin exams, eh? But unlike you, I can just drop the jutsu, revealing the fraud. Prepare to die." Naruto drops the jutsu, and when the smoke clears, there is no one but Naruto standing, isolated.

"What!? What is this?!" The Kyuubi container yelled in disbelief.

"Up here!" Kiba screams. Naruto looked up, and saw the duo dog team coming straight at him. It was too late to block or dodge. Kiba and Akamaru used their claw like hands to make large slices across his arms and back.

"You've gotten better." Naruto got up. "You're plan was quite clever. As the smoke obscured my vision, you made two copies of yourself and then hid in the trees. You than waited until I was in disbelief to make your move. You got a lot smarter, Kiba. I'll have to put at least half of my possible effort into this battle." Naruto lifted up his head, revealing that his eyes were now the color of the Fox's (which I don not know). "Let's go!"

Urufu vs. Kurenai

"This should be easy, I doubt a woman as weak looking as yourself could ever beat me." Urufu mocked, smirking.

"Don't underestimate me. I can be more of a troublesome foe than you'd think." Kurenai replied.

Urufu raised an eyebrow. "Show me."

Kurenai threw a few kunai and fled into a tree. Urufu deflected them and chased the genjutsu specialist. It was an even battle. They each got a couple of blows in, but Kurenai got a big hit and stabbed Urufu in the leg, so she picked up the pace. They proceeded attacking and being blocked by the one on the offensive, but Kurenai could not block Urufu's large sword with her own much smaller kunai. She eventually readied a genjutsu. She fled to the ground and made hand signs. All of a sudden, Urufu saw her home being burnt down, blasts of charka hitting villagers and watching them fall into a pool of their own blood.

"Remember this night?" Kurenai's voice boomed from an unknown area, "This is the night that the beast was sealed inside of you. The genjutsu I used shows the worst night of the person's life, allowing me to go in for the kill while they're paralyzed with fear."

"But you forget that beast is still in me, and…" Urufu said in a maniacal voice. "It loves the show!" After that, the genjutsu stopped.

"What?? That was one of my most powerful genjutsu! I guess I'll I have to use my best!" Kurenai thought to herself.

Kurenai prepared her signature jutsu, but Urufu appeared in front of her and made a swing with her oversized sword. She missed her target, or so Kurenai thought. The blonde haired renegade and sliced a large boulder in half. She than kicked it up in the air, aimed for Kurenai, and spoke, "Chakra Force." The chunk of rock sped toward Urufu's air born foe at extremely high speeds, and hit dead on. Kurenai was crushed between a tree (which snapped) and the rock. She used her chakra to shield her body, but she still had a broken arm. She coughed up blood as she bounced on the floor.

"I'm in trouble! I had to use up most of my chakra to block that enormous attack, and I still broke some bones!" The jonin thought to her.

Urufu picked up her wounded enemy. She picked up a handful of grass, made had signs and shouted "Senbons of Earth!" She threw the grass, and they turned into senbon in mid-flight, pinning Kurenai against the tree (it didn't hit any vital spots). "Well, Kurenai, you didn't live up to your boast. You weren't troublesome at all!" The Wolf's container took her sword and spit the Konoha jonin in half. The tree she had hit also was cut, so it fell as a result. Urufu moved out of the way, but Naruto wasn't so lucky.

Naruto vs. Kiba (a little bit before Kurenai is killed)

The two male shinobi kept exchanging blows, each connecting easily. Naruto was in trouble, for it was two on one, Kiba not giving him any time to do a jutsu. Kiba had the battle in the palm of his hands. Many times he and Akamaru simultaneously punched, or even stabbed Naruto. Eventually, Naruto got a good hit on Kiba, and launched him into a tree. Kiba landed on Akamaru, resulting in his dog being too injured to fight.

"No problem, I bet my other partner wants a piece of you too, so I'll call on him." Kiba wiped some blood onto his finger and did the proper hand signs. "The Art of Summoning." A large, black panther appeared next to Kiba.

"A feline, isn't that against your style, Kiba?" Naruto chuckled.

"Shut up! Fight me!" Kiba shouted in blind fury. The two once again started their fight. Kiba landed many good blows, each knocking Naruto into a tree and causing more blood to ooze from his wounds. The panther was trouble though. Its sharp teeth sank into Naruto's flesh many times, and the claws tore it even more. Kiba started to slow down, putting less effort behind each blow. Naruto smiled, he was about to land the finishing blow. He was preparing the technique when the tree that Urufu cut down fell on him. He lay under the massive piece of nature, with Kiba closing in. Kiba stabbed Naruto in the arm (same one that Kakashi did) while the panther gnawed on his legs. He attempted to slice the other arm, but Naruto grabbed his hand and broke all of his fingers and used his kunai to kill the panther.

He than got up and walked up to Kiba. He said a sentence that rung bells in Kiba's ears, "It's time to repay all the abuse I've taken up 'til now." He used his doppelganger technique, and each one of them stabbed Kiba in a different limb. The original stabbed him in the stomach and jumped up, taking Kiba with him. He took out the kunai and bashed in Kiba's head with the handle, resulting in him hurtling into the ground.

When the smoke cleared, Kiba's lifeless body was visible. Inuzuka Kiba was no more. Urufu healed all of the wounds that were on herself and her partner. They had both defeated two more adversaries, making the chances of saving the world even slimmer. A tear fell from Naruto's eye as he gazed upon his former friend (they were sorta friends). A small piece of humanity was left in Naruto, but who knows if it's enough to help him overcome the beast inside him.

End of Chapter

The battle would've been much more descriptive if I wasn't so tired! Sorry! When I post the next one, I'll update this battle to be more descriptive.

Digital Demon
