I own nothing 'cept the Ocs and this plot.
Chapter 3- Going All Out
Ugh! Kyuubi! For the millionth time this hour... out of my head! Scythe screamed mentaly. Kyuubi was curently in his head, tourturing him by talking enlessly about this and that. In other words, Scythe was having a hard time to get to sleep.
"Awww, but why?"
Because I said to. OUT!! the wolf was starting to twitch.
"No! You know, you have a really good personality." note the sarcasm.
And it can get better!
Now what she said next was a bit random, so don't get me wrong here. "I wonder how you are in bed?"
"WHAT??!!!" this time, it wasn't a mental question/comment. Naruto's head jerked up, and Sasuke—who was sitting comfortably on the window seil—promptly fell off of said window seil. They were in Tazuna's house, having reached it late that night—a confrontation with a man named Zabuza slowed them down—and were trying to sleep. Kyuubi and Scythe made it quite a feat.
"Wha'? What happened?" slurred Naruto sleepily.
"Who screamed?" demanded Sasuke. He glared a Scythe, who looked around innocently.
"I didn't hear anything." said the wolf. He grinned at Sasuke and layed his head back down.
"Smooth..."
Aren't you supposed to be in Naruto's head instead of mine?
"Yeah, but the kid's wet dreams just aren't cutting it."
Wet. Dreams?... Who the hell is he dreaming about?!
"Our favourite Uchiha of course! What? Did you think it was about Sakura? As if."
Lovely, just peachy. He's gay! Then again, I have a sneaking suspicion that you had something to do with that.
"Nope! This is his choice, not mine. Besides, there's someone else I like."
I wonder who... the wolf thought sarcasticly. Out! Or I do what Naruto does when you're being a nucience.
"Fine, fine. I'm going."
Scythe felt her presence leave and sighed, catching Sasuke's attention. "What are you sighing about?"
"Just got rid of an annoying pest." Sasuke nodded in understandng and turned his eyes back out the window. There was a longing in his eyes as he glanced momentarily at Naruto, and Scythe had a thought about why. Hmm...
"You know, I still think it could work out between us."
Kyuubi! OUT NOW!!! And don't come back this time! He heard Kyuubi grunt and disappear. Laying his head down, he fell into a deep sleep.
--The Next Day--
Kakashi, who was curently on crutches, had essembled the two genin and wolf in a clearing somewhere in the forest. He was holding a scroll, reading it with a pleased twinkle in his eyes. He rolled up the scroll, and smiled behind his mask. "Well, depending on how you look at it, I have some news. Due to the extreme mental damage that Sakura underwent, she has passed on. So, under order from the Hokage, we are once again in search of a new team mate. Scythe would be it, but he isn't human so..."
"Hey! I'm closer to human then that pink banshee was. Why can't I be the replacement?" he demanded, his ears twitching. An idea struck Naruto out of the blue, and he snapped his fingers.
"Kakashi-sensei, I think that I have the perfect replacement for us." he nodded to Scythe who bit his paw, drawing blood, and flashed through hand seals—that he could remarkebly do.
I am so going to regret this. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Kyuubi! (Summoning Jutsu: Nine-Tails)" there was a puff of smoke, and in its place was a woman that appeared the same age as the genin... clinging to Scythe's neck. Yup, I'm regretting this. Her red hair was long, but tied up in a high ponytail, she was wearing a simple grey T-shirt with crimson trim, and black jeans with black ninja sandals to go with it. Did I mention the red fox ears and nine red fox tails... yeah, that's what she had. 'Course, that's because she was none other than Kyuubi. Scythe was twitching at the close contact, and pushed her off.
Kyuubi stood up and flashed Kakashi a grin, who might I add was staring at her with wide eyes. "Yo! I hear that you need a replacement."
"Oh don't act so innocent when you were listening to the whole conversation Kyuubi!" Naruto and Scythe yelled at the same time. Kyuubi sweatdropped and scratched her head sheepishly.
"I suppose you will do. After all, its not every day that a legandary demon joins up with a genin squad. Now! Today's exercise will be in chakra control. You will be climbing trees, without using your hands."
"How is that supposed to help us?" Sasuke asked skepticly.
"Simple, a ninja with out chakra control is about a usefull as a two year old. To survive a ninja must have complete control over their chakra and be able to perform nin, gen, and taijutsu. Though taijutsu doesn't require as much, infact very little, chakra, you need to chanal it corectly to be able to put maximum force behind your blows." Kakashi hobbled up to a tree, placing his foot on it, and continued to walk up it, stopping and hanging down on the underside of a branch.
"Oh that's easy! Scythe and Splash already taught me that." Naruto blurted out. "As well as the water walking and air walking."
"Air walking?" Sasuke asked, a bit confused.
"Yeah! Its great for staying hidden, and makes it harder for you to be tracked. Problem is, it took me a month to get it down comletely."
"A month and a half you meen." Scythe corrected. He snickered at Naruto's glare and found a falling leaf very interesting all of a sudden.
Kyuubi meanwhile was staring at her heart throb with huge eyes. Scythe finaly noticed that he was being watched and sighed. "You know, its concidered rude to stare." Kyuubi nearly jumped out of her skin, and forced a grin, laughing slightly.
"Wh-what do you meen? I wasn't staring." she defended poorly
"Mmhmm... sure you weren't. Come on Naruto, while Sasuke is doing the tree climbing, lets train." he and Naruto sprinted off into the forest, and the air was almost emeidiatly filled with growls, grunts and the clanging of kunai against claws and fangs. Naruto was thrown out of the forest, skidding to a stop about eight meters away from it, Scythe leaping after him.
No sooner had Naruto staggered to his feet, was he faced with the very sharp fangs of his wolf companion. He grabbed the upper and lower jaw of said wolf's mouth, and pushed him back, throwing several shuriken after him. Three of five shuriken hit their targets, and Scythe grunted, pulling them out quickly. Naruto tackled him, rolling several times with the wolf, exvchanging punches, kicks, bites, and slashes. Kyuubi had to duck as Naruto was sent sailing over her head, Scythe following.
The blonde took out a kunai, and held it up in defense as Scythe brought his claws down attempting to slash his face right off his head. Scythe then used his other forepaw to flip Naruto into the air, appearing above him and balling his paw into a fist, throwing it dead center in the blonde's chest, knocking the air out of him and sending him crashing to the ground.
The rest of Team 7, minus Kyuubi, winced at this display of power and brute force. Sasuke gulped, praying that he was never on the receiving end of those two's attacks. "Is that normal?" he asked.
"No, that's about a fifth of what they normaly do. Looks like I'm gonna be busy healing broken bones, regenerating limbs, and sealing up cuts and gashes." replied the fox.
"Regenerating limbs?" Kakashi asked, a bit skeptical.
"Yeah, when ever they train, Naruto looses some form of appendage.Scythe doesn't use special treatment just because they're partners as far as ninja training and stuff goes. Last time, Scythe got mad enough at the brat that he wanted to make sure that Naruto never had kids... he succeded, but I was able to replace... 'it.'" Kyuubi shook her head and sighed as an explosion shook the ground, making Kakashi and Sasuke stumble.
"That would be Scythe's 'Makyou No Ran.' (war of evil men) He must be really going all out." Kakashi gulped at the jutsu name. It was said to summon souls from hell and make them fight for who ever summoned them, and not stop until they were ordered to do so. "Must have summoned some demon this time. Normaly its just humans." again, Kakashi gulped. Then, everything was deathly still. "They're done. Now, lets see, injury check..." she trailed off as she mentaly checked Naruto's injuries. Five broken ribs, a fractured skull, missing a hand and a leg, fractured arm, an a hell of a lot of gashes. Joy.
She glanced at the others—Kakashi was standing stark still, and Sasuke had taken refuge in a tree, suddenly getting the tree climbing thing down quickly—and grinned. "Be right back." and she poofed to Naruto's location.
Sasuke had to cover his ears at the almost girly screech that echoed through the area, coming from Scythe, then a very violent bellow from Kyuubi.
"ARE YOU COMPLETELY INSANE!!!!? YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HIM IF HE DIDN'T HAVE ME TO HEAL HIM!!!" silence... "I DON'T CARE IF HE DOESN'T MIND!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG THIS WILL TAKE TO HEAL?!!! ALL DAY!! NORMALY IT WOULD TAKE A COULPLE OF HOURS!!!" more silence... "GO TO HELL!!!" then this time, the silence remained. Scythe burst out of the bushes, running for dear life, and hid behind Kakashi.
Scythe sighed and chuckled nervously. "Women are insane in more than one way." he muttered. Sasuke noticed several still sizling burns on his fur, and guessed that it was Kyuubi's doing. The wolf sighed and slumped to the ground beside the tree that Sasuke was in, muttering something incoharent.
There you go! That one was a filler chappie, but look at the bright side... SAKURA'S GONE FOR GOOD!!! YAHOOOO!!! And sorry to Sakura lovers—how ever few there may be—for killing off Sakura... well, not really sorry, but its required of me to apologize according to my stupid grandparents. Ja!
