Blade of the Kyuubi
Chapter 4: Released
They all came out of the forest with fear struck in their eyes as Hidan and Kakuzu stared at them as they landed on the bridge. "Well well so this is the so called Nine Tailed Fox", began Kakuzu, "I thought this was going to be a challenge. Oh and he brought friends this might be interesting."
Everyone got tense by his words and just stared at the two. "If we take these two all at once we'll only get massacred. We need to split up", Asuma whispered to Guy. He told everyone else this earlier so they had already decided on the groups. "When I give the signal we separate team1 go towards the forest and team 2 go back to the rendezvous point."
Suddenly Kakuzu appeared right between Guy and Asuma. "What you guys talkin about", he said sending shivers down their spines. No one else didn't notice that the masked man had gotten passed them. Guy and Asuma just looked up at their enemy in awe.
They both launched a kick at his face causing a bone shattering echo making everyone turn around to see Asuma and Guy's foot planted on Kakuzu's face. Their attack did no damage to him at all. Everyone jumped back to gain some distance then suddenly a swarm treads were launched at them. Yamamoto and Gaara quickly got to work creating a barrier around the group blocking the attacks.
When it felt safe enough to put it down they did only to find themselves separated in two groups one was in a cave and the other group in an open field. Naruto look around to only see Negi, Kakashi, Tenten, and Yamamoto.
"Where'd everyone go?" asked Naruto as he looked around for his other teammates. Yamamoto and the others also did this hoping they'll find their lost teammates too.
"Welcome everyone", said Kakuzu as he appeared from the shadows, "You'll have to face me now and don't worry your friends are safe with Hidan… for now that is." He laughed giving off an evil aura.
"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JITSU!" Naruto was mad and didn't want to hear anything the masked man had to say and launched all his clones towards him. To his surprise they were all destroyed by the man's treads. Naruto was now even madder and ran towards him getting ready to give him a taste of his fist.
"Stop Naruto!" said Kakashi as Naruto was about to take another step toward Kakuzu. "Don't attack so recklessly he'll kill us all if we make a wrong move."
"Heh heh", Kakuzu began laughing changing the atmosphere in the cave. He then dislocated his arms and threw them Kakashi and Yamamoto. They shot at them like bullets causing them to crash into the cave.
Negi and Tenten took this opportunity to get their opponent. "Jyuuken" said Negi as he started his attack aiming for one of his chakra points as Tenten throws a bunch of ninja tools from the air.
Kakuzu laughed at their attempt and easily kicked Negi back and deflected all of Tenten's weapons sending three of them at Tenten's stomach. Suddenly Naruto popped out the ground giving Kakuzu a massive uppercut. Kakuzu made the snake hand sign causing his body to darken to make his skin tougher making Naruto's punch feel like a feather and kicked Naruto back.
He poofed away "RASENGAN", He said as he appeared from the smoke landing a rotating ball chakra on his stomach sending him backwards into the wall. Kakuzu ceased the attack on Kakashi and Yamamoto giving them enough time for Yamamoto to release branches at the mask man, while Kakashi and Naruto released a combo punch crushing him through the cave.
It became silent for a moment as everyone waited for their results. Then a swarm of threads came out of the ground catching everyone and strangling them. Kakuzu came out the ground without a scratch on him laughing at the pitiful looking people in front of him and put his hands in the ground and lit the threads on fire causing the new team to burn.
They all vanished in smoke, then a giant wooden branch came hurling at Kakuzu. He caught it smashing it into pieces. Then Kakashi and Naruto came from the left as Negi and Tenten came from the right launching a series of kicks and punches.
Kakuzu's body darkened even more catching everyone's attack. He started laughing again as he ignited his body blowing away everyone. Yamamoto came from behind with a wooden sword trying to pierce him in the back. The masked man didn't move and let the wooden blade break on his back.
Kakuzu had enough and grabbed Yamamoto by his face and shot a combination of wind and fire element into cranium and tossed him to the side.
"Yamamoto!" screamed Naruto as he watched his friend slowly fall to the ground. Naruto was growing angrier and angrier as he saw that both Tenten and Negi were both knocked out. Out of fury Naruto made a shadow clone and started on the rasengan. It began turning as white as snow, and he charged towards Kakuzu.
"KAZE NO RASENGAN!" he yelled aim for his heart. Kakuzu caught the blonde's rasengan. But that was a mistake the rasengan slowly started eating up his hand. He quickly moved his hand and kicked the boy back, but he wasn't done yet he grabbed the boy by his face and wrapped the threads around his skull. "You don't know what you're up against, boy!" and he ignited his hand.
Kakashi was sick of watching this and he charged at him with an intensified raikiri. "Raiki--!?", as he was running towards his blind side to see a mask and before he could stop his attack a gigantic chakra blast shot from its mouth. Kakashi barely dodge the attack and was hit in the waist. The blast carried on and broke a hole in the ceiling of the cave.
"Naruto… use my power and we can defeat him. All you have to do… is use my power", said a mysterious voice.
Naruto had awoken watching Kakashi dodging threads and dislocated limbs. "Aaargghh", he screamed as the Kyuubi's chakra started to come over his body. The red chakra started slowly taking over Naruto's body. The first tail started growing. Kakashi saw this happening and began focusing his chakra into his hand.
"Raikiri!" he shouted crashing through the threads aiming for his chest. Kakuzu knew he couldn't deflect his attack and shot another chakra blast at him. Kakashi redirected his attack towards the chakra blast and was on par with the attack. The battle between the two attacks ended as his raikiri went through and pierce through one of Kakuzu's masks (hearts).
Kakuzu took a few steps back covering his stomach surprise at what happened "Wow no one has ever done that before. I'm-m-m going to make you pay!" he snapped throwing thousands of threads at his opponent. Before they could touch him Naruto in front of him and swiped them away with the Kyuubi claw.
Naruto then reached back and grabbed his tail and ripped apart from the remaining chakra. He held his tail in his and began absorbing all the Kyuubi chakra into the tail in his hand. The chakra then began turning pure white and forming into the shape of a giant blade with a red and black hilt with the eight trigram seal written in both the hilt and blade. Naruto came to full consciousness held the blade with one arm towards Kakuzu and in the coldest way he could he shouted "Kaze no Shogu!"
