Chapter Four


Naruto threw the corpse of a police man into the river, crouching he picked up the uniform, then he transformed into the man. He slowly changed into the police uniform. "Part one complete"

Hopping into the cruiser, he headed towards the station. Upon arrival he noticed a group of people gathering. "What's wrong?"

"We've caught the Kitsune!" A dispatch woman said.

"Seriously!" 'Phase two complete'

"Hah, he's crying! How's it feel to be locked up, Kitsune!" Kiba asked. "Good job men, you just caught the big one."

"I'm telling you, I'm not Kitsune you have the wrong man!" 'Kitsune' said.

"Shut up, we got an ID on your face, it matches with the video files. No other search results came up." Yamato said.

"You fools, he is still out there, he can do things you couldn't even imagine." 'Kitsune' said.

"Oh, I already know everything you can do, Kitsune. Now get comfortable because soon you're gonna regret what you've done to my family." Sasuke said as he shot the ground near the prisoner.

'I'll let them gloat a little longer, I just have to get to the Commissioner's Office.' Naruto thought happily.

-Security Office-

'First things first, I have to set a bomb here.' Naruto thought as he placed C4 around the office.

"So he was telling the truth after all?" A voice said from behind Naruto.

Naruto turned around looked at the officer in shock. "How did you know?"

"Well he was screaming his bloody innocence, so I decided to stakeout the back in case he wasn't lying, remember this the man who killed you is Rock Lee." The officer said as he cocked his gun.

"Well I suppose you already know that ain't gonna work." Naruto said as he sliced the gun in two with his clawed hand. "If Weasel barely touched me, how could an average human?"

"I'm not average!" Lee said as he appeared behind Naruto delivering an earth shattering elbow to the back.

'Enhanced strength and speed!' Naruto thought as he crashed through a wall. Naruto did a back flip and landed on his feet as Lee appeared and uppercutted him. Naruto kicked Lee in the jaw as he did a back flip.

"Not bad, I didn't think you were actually that agile. I'll keep this in mind." Lee said as he did a roundhouse kick. Naruto ducked under as he transformed into Kitsune. Rearing his fist back he punched Lee into the wall.

Lee did a twist and rebounded off the wall and clothes-lined Kitsune, Kitsune traveled with the blow and spun around Lee's arm to knee him in the back of the head.

"Akatsuki experiment: 009 or IX; purpose: an attempt to harness the mythical powers of the Kyuubi. Most advanced of the '00' series. vs. experiment: 083; purpose: reducing the muscle restriction set in place by the brain." Lee said as he showed his LXXXIII mark. "I do have sympathy for you nine, so I shall walk away for now, but the next time we meet one of us will die."

"I'm relieved you survived, not many people survive a knife in the chest and a swim."

"Later, don't die before I kill you."

"I'm looking forward to it." Naruto said as he climbed out the office window, "You have two minutes to evacuate the station, grab one person and jam." Naruto leaped away. 'Great, I wonder how many more of Akatsuki's experiments are out there?'

Lee sprinted into the main room and grabbed Kiba without missing a step he jumped through the glass door and down the steps as a series of explosions destroyed the station. He landed in a heap near Sasuke who was walking up the steps as his office exploded. Lee rolled him over and winced when he saw the damage from the hot debris. 'Well, he always was a bit two faced.'

"Figures, Kitsune was one step ahead of us." Kiba said as he got up. Lee widened his eyes when he saw the LXXXV mark.

"You were in the Akatsuki Program?" Lee asked as he showed his mark.

"Yeah, but my memory was wiped when I was tossed aside, all I remember is my number, my name, and my purpose; bridging the gap between animals and humans."

'I won't tell him about 009 then.' "I have a feeling Kitsune is another of Akatsuki's projects. He's probably in the '00' series."

"Is that bad?"

"Only the two of us together have any hope of defeating him. The '00' series are the strongest creatures from that lab, maybe even the entire world." 'I could sense how he held a lot back in our fight. Even with the restrictions gone I couldn't match his raw strength. Akatsuki created a monster in human flesh.'

-A week later-

Lee pulled up in front of the hospital as Sasuke walked out, bandages covered the right side of his face, Sasuke saw lee and quickly climbed inside.

"You look great for someone who was blown to hell." Lee said.

"How many officers are left?" Sasuke asked.

"Including us, four, Yamato and Tenten." Lee said.

"That many, looks like Kitsune succeeded in his objective. Thanks for the blood by the way."

"Fortunately Kiba was the same blood type as well." 'I hope it works.'

-Flashback-

"Are you sure about this?" Kiba asked as he cut his palm.

"I'm sure." Lee said as he drew some blood from the comatose Hyuga. Turning he dripped some of the blood into a beaker and mixed both his blood and Kiba's in with it. Taking an IV bag he poured the beaker's contents within and put the cap on. Attaching the syringe he put it in Sasuke arm. "He might be our only hope to destroy Kitsune, my unrestrained strength, your instincts, and a Hyuga's clairvoyance all rolled into one."

"Poor Hanabi, ever since Kitsune bombed the Hyugas she hasn't woken."
