Note(1): to avoid confusion, the story will jump from the escort team point of view to the Han/Yui point of view.
Chapter 7: Battle at the Tenchi Bridge (2) Naruto © Kishimoto
"Hello everyone this Homika Namikaze who will give you a quick overview about what is happening with Boo-Chan and the others!"
"At the moment is Shinji Senju still on the ambush side where he is cleaning up the last of the evil ninja's that attacked Boo-chan and his team. Speaking of Boo-chan he together with Sakura are following the path Tsuki, Shinji's cute owl summon, shows them towards the Tenchi Bridge, with them they carry two scrolls who may or may not be the real peace-treaty between Konoha and Iwa. "
"Sasuke on the other hand was caught under an Genjutsu without his knowing it caused him to act very weird. He didn't even notice that he was being followed by an enemy shinobi luckily for him Yui caught up with him and killed the enemy, she knocked Sasuke out for his own safety. "
"Han just arrived in time to find that the ambassador had been attacked by Danzo and his man. After Danzo walked away Han ended the ambassadors life on his request and learned that Sakura is the one wielding the real treaty and is now also on his way towards them. "
"And lastly on the Tenchi Bridge is a mysterious man, who after slaughtering a squad of Iwa ninja is waiting who is out after the bounty on Shinji's head, or does he have other intentions?"
"In any case: GOOD LUCK BOO-CHAN!"

Naruto and Sakura where following Tsuki throughout the forest, running as fast as they could, but Sakura was starting to get tired and breathed heavily. "Tsuki, wait for a moment please Sakura cannot keep up anymore."
The white owl landed on a branch. "Then you two should rest for a while, if you don't mind I am going to check up on Shinji. Don't move from here until I return please." Tsuki took off and flew away.
"Sakura you can sit down I will keep watch while you rest." Naruto said.
"A-Alright." Sakura said as she sat down, after a few moments Sakura looked from her position at Naruto. "N-Naruto do y-you t-t-think t-the o-others are a-a-alright?"
Naruto looked in her direction. "Don't worry Sakura, everyone will be fine. Shinji-Sensei is one of Konoha's best Jonin, and don't forget that Sasuke was the rookie of the year…Still his actions earlier make me worried."
"Ne do you mean by rookie of the year this baka?" A new girlish voice spoke up.
Naruto's head shot in the direction of the voice, but the only thing he noticed was a body being thrown towards him. Naruto instinctively caught it. "It is Sasuke! Who did knock you out?!" Naruto suddenly threw Sasuke on Sakura's lap, who yelped in surprise, and blocked the punch of his attacker with his two hands. The force behind the punch was still more than enough to send the blonde boy a few feet backwards.
"Wow you blocked my punch? You are the first to do that since Han-Sensei!" The girl spoke up again.
Naruto looked in her direction and gasped in surprise. "I can see her?! I can see her just like I can see Homika, the way she wears her hair, the color of her eyes, any lines on her clothes and the marking on her face! Who is this girl?"
Sakura also looked in wonderment and fear at the newly arrived girl. She had messy brown hair that just reached her neck. Her eyes where yellow colored, on her left cheek she had the Kanji for mummy tattooed. She wore a long sleeved dark-red shirt and dark grey pants and had a wide leather band system over her left shoulder and right side of her hips. Her forehead protector was tied around her forehead.
"Who are you? And what are you doing with Sasuke?" Naruto asked, grabbing his Kusarigama and pointing it at the girl.
The girl grinned, and did a backward summersault, she landed on the branch of a tree where she looked down on the members of Team 7. "I am Yui! Student of the great Han-Sensei!"
Naruto lowered his weapon. "A ninja from Iwa…one that isn't our enemy apparently…still why can I see her so well?"
Sakura shook Sasuke a little as the black haired boy began to wake up. "S-Sasuke a-are you a-alright?"
Sasuke jumped of Sakura's lap and began looking around franticly as soon as he saw Yui he pointed her trembling in anger. "You! You knocked me out didn't you?!" Sasuke ran towards the tree to attack Yui but the girl simple jumped down and kicked Sasuke in his face, the Uchiha stumbled backwards before falling on the ground.
"Baka! I knocked you out because you are a danger to yourself and others, the way you jumped throughout the forest…I could have destroyed you like a bad guy without you ever noticing….Though that probably is because of that Genjustsu cast over you…Still Baka!" Yui stuck out her tongue at the Uchiha.
Sasuke saw red. "I will kill you!" He shouted, he began making his way to Yui again but Naruto grabbed his shoulder and hold him in place.
"Sasuke don't! You are in no-" Naruto tried to reason with his friend, but Sasuke pushed Naruto onto the ground.
"Don't get in my way and take my glory Naruto!" Sasuke shouted at him, before running towards Yui.
Who had disappeared from her position, Sasuke felt a presence behind him. "Like Han-Sensei would say you are more useful when you are asleep…Baka-Boy!" Yui's fist connected with the back of Sasuke's head knocking him out again.
Yui helped Naruto on his feet. "Ne blondie what is your name?"
Naruto coughed. "Thanks and my name is Naruto Namikaze, and my friend here is called Sakura Haruno."
Yui blinked a few times and began rubbing her chin with her left index-finger. "Namikaze? O are you the son of the guy who killed so many of our Shinobi?"
Naruto and Sakura tensed. "I didn't think about that! What am I doing? As soon as this girl arrived I have been a little distracted…but has been so long to "see" someone as clear as Homika." Thoughts spooked throughout Naruto's head.
Yui stopped rubbing her chin. "Not that I really care about that stuff. Han-Sensei probably would, he fought against that guy once you know during the war."
Sakura sweat dropped. "This girl is kind of weird if you ask me."
Naruto frowned. "This Han-Sensei fought dad and survived…he is either very skilled or incredible lucky and seeing Yui I am guessing the first."
The brown haired girl scratched her head. "What was I doing again…?"
"Y-Yui c-c-could you t-tell us w-why y-you are h-here?" Sakura stuttered.
Yui looked at Sakura with a smile. "Sure! Han-Sensei and I where on a mission to destroy bad guys, which was pretty easy, together with some ANBU-Baka squad. After the mission we talked a bit about the new friendship between Konoha and Iwa when Han-Sensei realized that the bodyguard of the ambassador could be leading you in a trap since he hates Konoha with a passion. That Stupid Baka!" Yui yelled the last part loudly.
"She even acts a little like Homika which is pretty cute…argh! Where does these thoughts come from?!" Naruto was having a hard time with his thoughts about the new girl. "Please continue Yui."
"Alrighty Naruto! So as soon as Han-Sensei realized we came here as fast as we could and decided to split up to collect all of you and bring you to the Tenchi Bridge, first I collected Baka-boy who has a Genjutsu cast over him and then I went to you two! And here I am now."
Naruto nodded. "I see, we stopped here to rest for a while and promised not to move until the summon of our sensei returns."
Yui suddenly leaned with her face very close to Naruto's face, so close that their noses almost touched each other. "Y-Yui what are you doing?"
The brown-haired girl grinned brightly at him. "Ne Naruto did you know that you have very pretty eyes. I really like them."
Naruto blushed. "T-Thanks I-I g-guess." Sakura looked with open mouth at Naruto, and Naruto himself blinked a few times to realize what he had just done. "Did I just blush and stutter?! What in the name of Kami is wrong with me! "The confused boy yelled mentally.
Yui smiled and lay down on the forest floor next to the still sitting Sakura. "Ne Naruto you should sit down too, I bet it is pretty lonely standing there on your own."
Naruto nodded and sat down in front of the girls. Sakura gasped at Yui. "H-How did y-you d-do t-that? Naruto s-sits or s-stands alone m-m-most of the t-time."
Yui just shrugged and closed her eyes.
"Um Y-Yui a-are y-you n-n-not s-supposed t-to take to y-your S-Sensei?" Sakura asked timidly.
Yui nodded. "That is true Stutters but you promised to stay here until your Sensei returned right?" Sakura nodded. "Han-Sensei always say that breaking a promise is one of the worst things one can do, so we wait for your Sensei. Han-Sensei will understand."
Sakura nodded. "I see."
"Ne Naruto why do you send out so much chakra, a sensor ninja can easily find you at this rate." Yui asked.
"Otherwise I cannot see Yui." Naruto replied.
"Ne?" Yui said confused.
Naruto sighed and began explaining his Literal Line to Yui

Shinji made a b-line towards the Tenchi Bridge. "Cleaning up took me longer than I thought, the others should have arrived at the Bridge by now." But when Shinji reached the bridge he noticed he was the only one there. "Strange where are they?"
Shinji looked to the other side of the bridge and narrowed his eyes when he saw something red. "That looks like a part of the standard Iwa Shinobi gear…Maybe my team is with them."
The light-brown haired Jonin ran towards the other side of the bridge and towards the Iwa Shinobi or the pieces of several Iwa Shinobi. "What is this?" Shinji thought as he lifted up an arm that was cut off and examined it.
"It seems like it was cut off by a sword or long knife, a samurai or a sword expert maybe?" Shinji put the arm away and looked around. "It would appear that the escort team did not yet make it to the bridge, I shall wait for them at the other side." Suddenly there was some noise in the bushes Shinji threw one of his senbon towards the location of the sound, a snow white rabbit ran out of the bushes. "A white rabbit? It is summer that means-" Shinji dropped himself on the ground just in time before a large sword swept over him.
"Darn it! I knew I shouldn't have used that old Kiri trick!" Shinji looked up and saw a man with a black robe and tree katana tied to his back in his right hand the man wielded a Nodachi and his face was hidden by a conical straw hat with small ornamental torques and tassels hanging down over his face.
"Who are you?" Shinji asked calmly as he jumped on his feet.
"I am just a bounty hunter; a certain man from Konoha told me that you would pass the Tenchi Bridge so here I am, here to collect your bounty!"
Shinji frowned. "I don't have time for this, my team needs me, and I cannot let them wander around in a forest filled with enemy ninja alone!" Shinji grabbed several kunai from fallen Iwa Shinobi. The bounty hunter looked on as the Jonin made some hand-seals. "Jiton: Mind controlled floating." The Kunai began floating around Shinji with their sharp ends pointed at the bounty hunter; Shinji grabbed one of them in his hand and looked at the bounty hunter.
Who was smirking underneath his hat. "Well then…let us dance artist!"
Shinji jumped towards the bounty hunter his kunai began slashing at the man, giving him no time to defend himself. So instead the bounty hunter moved towards a tree and used chakra to run up the trunk with only his feet. He had barely enough time to flip over the Jiton-user before Shinji's mind controlled Kunai embed themselves in the trunk.
But Shinji was a master of his art, as he landed on the branch from the tree, he let two kunai free themselves and shot them towards the bounty hunter's direction in midair. Unfortunately, the bounty hunter was by no means an amateur, with a wide circle like movement of his Nodachi he warded off the kunai.
Shinji frowned as his attempt to end this quickly failed; Shinji launched himself towards the black robed man, intending to kill him with the kunai he was still wielding. But instead of blocking him as Shinji had expected, the bounty hunter crouched and slashed at Shinji's legs. Shinji barely dodged the wide slash and landed on his feet but as soon as he made the movement to walk away the bounty hunter grabbed a fallen stick and threw it between the Jonin's legs casing him to trip and fall forwards.
Once Shinji's back was unguarded the bounty hunter moved in to slash the Jonin in two. But that was before he realized Shinji had intentionally tripped, waiting until the right time to take out the bounty hunter as two more kunai freed themselves from the tree and shot towards the man. The black robed man quickly caught on and jumped a few feet backwards, locating himself out of the knives path.
Shinji jumped back on his feet and glared at the bounty hunter, the two kunai the black robed man had just dodged where plunged into the ground in between them.
"You are pretty good." Shinji admitted. "Are you sure you can't tell me your name? Or at least the one who told you I would be here?"
"I suppose I can answer both as you won't live long enough to tell them to anyone else." The bounty hunter smirked before taking of his head. He had long dark-brown hair that was tied into a long braid. His eyes where black with over the left one a very thin scar.
"You may call me Ryo, Ryo of the cursed blades. As for my informant it is a sneaky man named Danzo." Ryo grinned.
Shinji grimaced. "Cursed Blades? Probably a self-given title."

Naruto's head shot to the right when he "saw" some movement in the bushes. He, Sakura and Yui jumped to their feet when elder Homura stumbled towards them.
"You kids save me!" He said weakly before collapsing onto the ground.
Naruto ran towards him and checked his pulse. "He is dead." The blonde boy began examining the elder. "Stay back he had been poisoned!" He ordered as Sakura and Yui began moving closer to them.
There was some more movement in the bushes and Danzo and his man emerged from them. "Sadly the elder had outlived his usefulness when he brought me the wrong scroll, but since to ambassador also had a false one it means that one of you three kids has the real one. Hand it over!" The old man ordered.
To Naruto's surprise Sakura took the scroll from her holster and began moving towards Danzo. Yui grabbed Sakura and looked at Naruto. "Ne Naruto I believe it is a Genjutsu that is controlling Stutters, the same one has been cast over Baka-boy though much and much stronger."
Naruto nodded and yelled "Kai!" As he sent out a large Chakra pulse disrupting the Genjutsu cast over Sakura.
Danzo opened his only visible eye. "I didn't know you could do that Naruto."
"There is more of me that you don't know, but what I would like to know is what is wrong with your right arm? The chakra it sends off is disgusting, it smells like Orochimaru."
Danzo frowned at the boy. "It seems that a certain boy knows too much already. I better get rid of him and the girls." Danzo looked at his two guards "Fū! Torune! Get rid of them."
"Yes Danzo-Sama!" The two Root-members said.
The auburn haired Fū walked forwards. "Torune stay back, I will handle this, there is no need for your techniques yet." Torune nodded and remained on his position.
Naruto unsealed his Kusarigama, while Yui moved in her own battle stance. "Sakura guard Sasuke please!" Sakura nodded gladly.
"Ne Naruto are they bad guys? Can I destroy them?" Yui asked.
Naruto looked confused at the girl. "I believe they are bad guys otherwise they wouldn't try to kill us…so yes you can…Destroy them?"
"Yes!" Yui yelled before attacking Fū, she began throwing a series of well-placed kicks and punches at the auburn haired man, that would have defeated many man. But the small girl was no match for the Root-elite as he easily dodged and blocked her attacks before kicking her away.
Yui frowned and made her hand seals. "Shakuton: Extremely Steaming Murder!" The Root-member jumped out of the way of the flaming orbs and constantly dogged them. Fū ran towards Yui and kicked her towards Naruto, who caught Yui and put her on her feet again.
Naruto glared at Fū before looking at Yui. "Let me try." The small girl nodded as Naruto ran towards the auburn haired man.
Naruto threw the scythe part of his Kusarigama at Fū, who managed to hold if off with his tanto. Naruto pulled back the scythe and engaged Fū in a battle of weapons.
Danzo frowned from a distance at the battle. "His files where right is very skilled with his Kusarigama, skilled enough to hold his own against Fū…Impressive Naruto could have become an excellent candidate for Root."
Fū blocked a slash from Naruto and pushed the blonde boy back. Naruto however threw the weighted end in Fu's stomach. Causing the Root-member to gasp for air , Naruto slashed at Fu's back but the auburn haired man managed to barely dodge it.
"Fū don't hold back against him." Danzo spoke up.
The Root-elite nodded and formed a hand-seal. "Mind Body Switch Technique!" Using the Yamanaka-Clan's signature technique Fū took control over Naruto's body, as his own body collapsed.
Sakura gasped as the recognized the technique she ran besides Yui who was wondering what just happened. "Pinky what just happened?"
Sakura frowned a little at the nickname. "T-That Root m-man u-used a t-technique t-to t-take over N-Naruto's m-mind."
Yui nodded and moved in her stance. "That means that Naruto is now a forced bad guy, which Han-Sensei told me not to destroy but to knock out."
Sakura looked worried as Yui began fighting Naruto in a fierce battle. "Shinji-Sensei please come and save us."

"Danzo?!" Shinji said in anger. "That damn traitor!"
Ryo chuckled and tightened his grip on his Nodachi, before launching himself at Shinji while spinning at high speed. Shinji rolled out of his way and let two of his kunai shot towards the bounty hunter. Who cleanly slashed them in half, and launched himself towards Shinji again. The Jonin ducked under the blade and stabbed the kunai he was wielding in Ryo's stomach before kicking the Nodachi out of the bounty hunters hands. Ryo made an attempt to catch the blade but Shinji punched against the kunai still in Ryo's stomach causing the man to cry out in pain, while Shinji caught the Nodachi.
"Kidd I give you one change get out of here while you can and that will be your only injury."
Shinji said looking down on the bounty hunter.
Ryo coughed up some blood as he pulled out the kunai. "Never, this is all part of the hunt don't you see?" The bounty hunter stood back up straight. "Now prepare yourself as I am about to unleash a curse that will have you trembling in fear!"
The black robed man unsheathed one of the katana from his back. The sheath was purple while the hilt of the katana was colored black with a red ribbon tied just underneath the tear shaped tsuba. "Burēdo no namida, the tears of the blade!" From the cursed blade a few tear drops emerged as Ryo made a wide slash with it, one of the tears hit Shinji's arm but nothing happened.
"What is going on nothing happened?" Shinji wondered.
"You haven't noticed yet?" Ryo said the bounty hunter suddenly stood behind Shinji and gave him a large deep gash; strangely enough the cut appeared on his chest cutting throughout his Shinobi armor. Shinji attempted to cut Ryo with his own Nodachi but the black-haired man had disappeared again. This time he arrived from Shinji's right but the cut appeared on his left arm.
"Genjutsu!" Shinji thought.
"In case you didn't notice it yet the Burēdo no namida has captured you in its Genjutsu,
It distorts your sense of direction! This Genjutsu is so powerful that it would take four Jonin together to dispel it!" Ryo boasted. "Now die!"
The bounty hunter began cutting Shinji up and cut off Shinji's right arm. "Damn!" Shinji thought as he felt onto the ground bleeding heavily from his wounds.

Yui was having a hard time fighting against Fū in Naruto's body, while the Root-elite wasn't as skilled as the blonde boy with the Kusarigama he managed to keep Yui on her toes with only the scythe.
Yui narrowly dodged the blade and punched at Fū who dodged it easily.
"I don't get it…" Sakura thought as she looked at the battle. "How can he fight so well in Naruto's body he shouldn't be able to see Yui clearly even when she is right in front of him…unless." Sakura looked at the fallen body of Fū and saw that he was looking at the battle field with his hands in a certain hand seal that Sakura remembered Ino's father used once during a spar with another Shinobi. "He tricked us! That is not the Mind Body Switch technique but the Mind Body Disturbance technique!"
"Yui! Attack the body of the Root-member that will break his control over Naruto!" Sakura yelled overcoming her stuttering for once.
"Okay!" Yui yelled a flaming orb appeared besides her and shot towards the Root-Member.
Fū was forced to release the technique to dodge the orb, letting Naruto free of his hold.
"I am released!" Naruto thought as he threw the scythe at Fū, who dodged the attack and with a small twirl of his tanto Fū warped part of the chain around it, pulling the weapon from Naruto's hands. Fū grabbed the hilt of the scythe and wielded upside down, he began using the chain and weighted end as a whip hitting both Naruto and Yui. The end slammed in Naruto's stomach leaving the blonde boy gasping for air. Yui received the worse end of it as Fū kept hitting her with the chain and weighted end.
Naruto attacked the auburn-haired man but was easily kicked away. Fū warped the chain around the wounded and bruised Yui and tied her up before throwing her next to Sakura and the still knocked out Sasuke. Fū walked towards the two girls and unconscious boy, he raised his tanto kill them.
From his position Naruto jumped up and began running towards his teammates and Yui. "I won't let them die! I won't let my friends die!"
Sakura yelled and closed her eyes stunned in fear. She heard a yell in pain and felt something wet drip on her face; she opened her eyes and stared in horror. Naruto stood in front of her and Yui, Fu's tanto had pierced his back and throughout his stomach, the sharp end came out at the front. The blonde boy had tears of pain in his eyes that fell on Sakura's face as she sat on the ground.
"N-N-Naruto?!" Sakura yelled. "Why Naruto?!
Yui looked at Naruto with her eyes widen. "He saved me…He saved me like Han-Sensei would."
Fū let go of his tanto and pushed Naruto aside. "Out of my way thrash." At that point something inside Sakura snapped.
Her body seemed to move on its own as she felt a cold wave go through her. Fū was about to kill her when he suddenly stopped and looked at the ground that had began freezing, the ice crept up along his legs and soon Fū was completely frozen solid.
From his spot Danzo spread his eye wide open as Sakura fell unconscious from using too much Chakra. "Wasn't that the Hyoton, Ice release?"
Yui from her spot, still tied by the chain of Naruto's Kusarigama, looked at Sakura in wonderment. "That was cool…But now Stutters has passed out as well!"
"Torune!" Danzo said a little louder than usual. "Take the pink-haired girl but kill the rest."
The masked man nodded and began walking towards the Genin. Yui began struggling to get free. "I have to get free; I have to help the Konoha ninja!" But it was of no use, she was too weak from the beating she received earlier from Fū. The brown-haired girl looked in fear as the masked man came closer to her and the Konoha Genin, unpleasant memories came up.
"Han-Sensei! Han-Sensei save us!" Yui yelled panicking as Torune put both his gloves in his mouth and took them off with his teeth. Torune moved towards to Yui, and was about to kill her first, with his hands that was covered by thousands of Nano-sized venomous insects.
Suddenly a loud roar sounded, and a giant red blur appeared from the forest at enormous speed and punched Torune with such force that it completely destroyed the bones and organs of the Root-elite.
The giant ran towards Yui and the Konoha Genin. "Yui what happened to you?" Han asked as he broke the chain binding her.
"I am fine Han-Sensei but we must worry about Naruto first!" Yui ran towards the boy and kneeled besides him. Han looked down on the boy with a frown. "Can we save him Han-Sensei? He saved the others and my life by using his body as a shield. I don't want him to die"
Han squatted down and examined Naruto. "Yes Yui as soon as I pull out the tanto I want you to burn his wounds close." Han said as he ripped off Naruto's shirt. Yui gasped at the scars covering his body already. "Focus Yui if we don't do this right he might bleed to death."
Yui nodded and covered the top of her both her index fingers with very small flaming orbs. "Ready Han-Sensei."
Han nodded and grabbed a hold of the tanto. "Ready…Now!" Yui burned the wounds close as Han pulled out the tanto. Han stood up and handed Yui a first aid kit. "Bandage his wound Yui and check upon the other two, I will deal with that last bad guy."
Han turned towards Danzo who was busy removing the Sealing Arm Braces around his right arm.

Ryo put his katana back in its sheath, releasing the Genjutsu, before walking to Shinji's body. "Are you dead Artist? What did you think about my art huh?"
"A little tasteless if you ask me." Shinji's voice sounded as he emerged from the bushes.
"WHAT HOW DID YOU?!" Ryo yelled as he looked back to the body where also a Shinji lay on the ground.
"O that…That is my most favorite technique." Shinji answered; making some movements with his hands the Shinji on the ground stood back up and grabbed his arm putting it back in its socked.
Ryo just looked shocked at Shinji as the one he battle walked towards the original. "What did you do?!" He yelled as the two Shinji's stood next to each other.
"I can explain that." A new voice spoke up. Ryo watched in wonderment as Tsuki landed on Shinji's head. "When Shinji threw the senbon at the rabbit he used the body replacement technique to switch place with his replacement, and hide himself."
"Why?! You are a Jonin with a bounty of 45.000.000ryo you don't need to hide!" Ryo yelled.
Shinji shook his head. "Kid let me teach you something, everyone has his or her flaws so have Jonin. Mine is that I really suck at Tai-and-Kenjutsu; even my Genin team could give me a run for it if they fought at their very best. So to avoid that weakness I came up with an idea after seeing puppeteers from Suna. Besides me stands the worlds very first Iron-Doll puppet, one I can control with my Jiton kekkei Genkai as if it was my own body."
"But then if it is a puppet why does it looks exactly like you?!" The bounty hunter grabbed his cursed katana again, but he let go and yelped in pain as three senbon had pierced his hand.
Shinji looked down at the shorter man. "It something not many people know but my ancestor the Second Hokage was not only a Suiton and Space-time Ninjutsu expert but also was very skilled in Genjutsu, as are most of his descendants. Though I am nowhere as skilled as he was."
"What do you mean?" Ryo asked as he pulled out the senbon from his hand.
Shinji sighed. "Kai!" The Genjutsu covering the Iron-Doll was dropped; the puppet was about Shinji's size and looked very human like. "Now you see kid?"
Ryo took a few steps back from the Jonin. "No "He" said I could take on a Jonin by now with my skill with the cursed blades." The bounty hunter was about to run away when from his shadow a black hand reached up and grabbed the young man's throat, crushing it. Ryo fell on the ground when the hand released him, the hand sunk back in the shadow again grabbing the swords with it.
Shinji threw a senbon at the hand but it was too late the hand had disappeared with the swords. "What was that?" Shinji wondered out loud as he examined Ryo's body.
"Shinji you don't have time for this! Your team is in grave danger!" Tsuki said pecking at the Jonin's head.
You are right! Tsuki lead the way!" Shinji said as he ran after the small white owl.

A mountainous region stretched across the northern side of the country located above Konoha, but east of Iwa and Taki. Outside of the expected chain of mountains and plateaus, bones of unknown giants were littered across the dense cliffs and forests, covered in moss. No one knew what happened to these creatures or where they came from, but people knew that it was very dangerous to travel at the region. It was the perfect place to escape the eyes of the Shinobi villages. A deep crater was perfectly formed in the heart of this country, with a large animal spinal cord in the center of the pit.
A single man was sitting on one of the beasts ribs. He wore a black long-sleeve top that also covers his neck and chin, a pair of black gloves, and a pair of dark-colored pants along with the black shoes and white stirrups. On his waist, he wears a thick black belt with armor-like metal plates attached to it. He wore the same metal plates on his shoulders with a green scarf; his face was hidden by an orange mask with a swirl-like pattern that only revealed his right eye.
The man appeared to be waiting for someone, as he was deep in thoughts. From the shadows a man, with a long black cloak and hood that covered his face, the cloak seemed to float around him as it dragged over the floor when the man walked out of the shadow towards the masked man sitting on one of the ribs. "Tobi I'm back and I have some interesting information from Kusa that you will find very interesting."
The masked man called Tobi nodded as the hooded man told him everything that had occurred in Kusa.
"So Danzo will have to fight against not only against the Gobi but also against Shinji Senju? Not only that but it seems that the older brother of the Kyubi has formed some sort of friendship with the Gobi's student…and his pink haired teammate was seen using the Hyoton? That is very intriguing indeed." Tobi thought for a bit. "Did you find what you was initially looking for?"
The hooded man nodded and held up the three cursed katana. "That fool Ryo fulfilled his roll perfectly in revealing one of the Senju's weaknesses."
Tobi nodded. "Can you go back and report the results of the fight to me?" The hooded man nodded and disappeared back into the shadows, as Tobi looked at the sky. "Not too long now Rin, not too long at all."

-mattyirish55: Thanks, I make a point of it to myself not to make any oc's too overpowered, Shinji as you can read has a very high skill in his Ninjutsu but lacks heavily in the Tai-and-Kenjutsu department. Yui on the other hand is powerful yes, but she has yet to learn much about her abilities and her mental age is not very developed, making her very dependent off others.
Read and Review please I will take ideas and suggestions gladly in consideration also please point out spelling and grammar mistakes I made. Also if there are any questions please ask.
