Sorry for not making this chapter a bit longer. I am not feeling so great. Very sick but wanted to get this chapter out.

Oh yeah. Yes. I really DON'T own Naruto. I own the rights in my mind, in my darkest of imaginings, and my delusions. Only those places though. That is all. lol.

AN:ONLY GRAMMAR CORRECTIONS FOR THIS CHAPTER UNLIKE ALL OF THOSE BEFORE THIS. I THINK THIS ONE WAS FINE.

For those of you wondering if I reply to reviews, I usually do so in PM's, so feel free to review and I will do my best to get back to you asap. :)

Update here. I TRY TO REPLY TO ALL REVIEWS ON FOLLOWING CHAPTERS, BUT THAT DIDN'T START UNTIL LATER IN THE TWENTIES. I AM JUST DOING SOME EDITING RIGHT NOW AS OF 3/27/15.

Now-Chapter 7 of Bloody Dance!

After a few moments of preparations, sage mode had been achieved, and the Daimyokage' with an elite group of Jonin consisting of some of his own in the ten guardians and anbu departed from the Daimyo estate at near impossible speeds.

"This is one instance I am glad I took those troublesome endurance lessons seriously," Shikamaru backhandedly complemented his youth obsessed comrades back at the estate.

"Less whining and more running Shikamaru!" Naruto ordered, surprising no one as he was very clear in the treatment of the Akatsuki prisoners and Naruto's usual casual attitude towards winning someone to his side had been pushed to the very limit after Danzo made a power play for his seat of Hokage.

Leaping through trees, finding minute traces of the Akatsuki, Kakashi signaled them to stop.

"Kuchiyose No Jutsu!" Kakashi called as he bit his thumb just enough to draw a little blood. He placed his hand on the ground and in a puff of smoke six shinobi dogs had appeared.

"Kakashi! Long time no see pal," The little bulldog commented, but stopped after seeing the assembled team.

"Sorry to call on you so suddenly old friend. But we are in pursuit of the Akatsuki who were our prisoners, but they were released. We need to catch them to see if they plan on regrouping and coming after us again," Kakashi quickly explained.

He placed Obito's old ninja tabbies down to Pakkun's nose who sniffed and nodded then took off with the Jonin in tow. Less than two hours later they had come to a stop and Pakkun was thanked, and reverse summoned himself home after informing the group the Akatsuki were near, in addition to one of the scents that remained after the old village was destroyed.

Naruto, wanting to fall back into his old habits had to contain his nearly unlimited anger. He was acting Daimyo, and Hokage of Konogakure no Sato. He had to set an example.

"Neji?" Naruto inquired.

"I see what appears to be a Jinchuriki...being assisted by the Akatsuki members against an unknown foe. He does however appear regal, and quite carefree considering who he is fighting," Neji reported with his usually calm, stoic voice.

"For now assist the Akatsuki. If they try anything that endangers any of us, use your best judgment. Take them out if necessary. Move out," Naruto said quietly and in control, impressing those who knew him longest.

Out in the clearing

Obito tried to remain intangible, but the opponent continued to grab him out of that state and toss him like a rag doll. Obito, who was midair attempted a giant fireball attack which his enemy walked through with little more than a few ashes on his skin.

The enemy smiled a gentle smile and walked out past the flame, sat down and finally spoke for the first time since the battle had started.

"I attacked the giant squid/octopus looking thing because I was bored. I actually would have left him alone after teaching him to not interfere with my father and siblings. So...Who do I have the honor of maiming?" The suave villain calmly asked.

And he received an equally calm reply.

"Shinobi who have been reforged in fire, baptized by fate. The Akatsuki of Konoha have arrived," Obito said in his deep, nearly menacing voice.

Naruto and the others with him had stopped just short of the open field where the battle was taking place. He had to admit that regardless of what happened later, that - the Uchiha had style.

The Hachibi Jinchuriki looked on in astonishment as he could barely move. More surprising is what happened next.

"Konan. Get the Hachibi to the hokage, then report back to the old war hawk," Obito ordered.

"Acknowledged," she affirmed, but stopped short as she turned around.

"About the hokage. I think he already knows."

"So much for the element of surprised." Kakashi said. Then looked at his leader tentatively who then nodded, and Kakashi gave the order.

"Move out. Hit him hard. Hit him fast. Let's show him what Konoha shinobi can do face to face when not ambushed!"

The enemy laughed a laugh full of guffaws.

"You find something funny muscle man?" Kisime stated, obviously as the enemy looked like his muscles had muscles.

The enemy ignored him, and Kisime went to work.

As there was no water around Kisime had a bit of trouble using his full power, but surprisingly enough, his trusty sword Samahada enjoyed whatever energy the enemy had within him and devoured more every minor hit he could make. Unfortunately the enemy only laughed at each swing that was taken.

But unbeknownst to this enemy, oblivious to the fact that a very dangerous foe in a cone shaped hat had revealed himself.

Samahada was knocked out of Kisime's hand, and Kisime kicked away from his precious sword. The moment Samahada left Kisime's hand and hit the ground, was the amount of time it took for Naruto to appear before the enemy's eyes, with his sword in hand, he sliced his enemy's left eye which caused him to scream and bleed profusely. Naruto then using his senjutsu style taijutsu kneed the enemy to the chin, sending him flying in the air. Naruto turned and yelled...

"Neji!"

Without a second's hesitation, Neji leaped forward, so that he was at a ninety degree angle from his midair opponent, switched into his traditional Jyuuken stance, with a minor variation, spun around as fast as he could while activating his byakugan again, gaining clarity and perfect divination for his newly perfected attack. He lifted his arms in the direction of the massive brute as he stopped and called, "Eight Trigrams, one hundred twenty eight: Breaching sky palms!"

The chakra in conjunction with the movements Jyuuken, an invisible blast was sent into the air, smashing into the enemy. Seconds later the enemy crashed to the ground, creating a crater the size of one of Sakura's 'you idiot Naruto!' punches. Naruto and Neji Jumped back as Kakashi jumped into the air, and fell down with a massive 'force' propelled chidori.

Now all allies together stand stunned as the opponent slowly began to stand up. He looked at the one with the pointy red hat with the fire symbol on it, and asked...

"Who are you warrior? It has been a long time since someone has been fast enough, or strong enough to remotely make me have to get serious,"

Naruto's face hardened further.

"Uzumaki, Naruto. Acting Daimyo to the land of Fire, and Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato. Redeemer of the lives lost to the conquerors from your world, and executioner to you," Naruto had spoke the speech he had practiced so many times in front of the mirror in the Daimyo manor, in hopes that his first time face to face with this unknown enemy would instill the fear of kami.

"Let's get something straight kid. I'm no conqueror. Unlike my siblings and my parents. Two. I'm just here for a good fight. Truthfully, I think the octopus guy might have given me a run if he had not already fought my sister Artemis. I am surprised he survived. I was going to let him go after I won. But seeing as I have more challengers, and my eye now in tatters," He calmly states as his eye slowly started to reform into it's original shape, "he goes nowhere until I find out who is the strongest here. So says, the mighty Hercules!"

Hope you all enjoyed. Let me know what you think and what you'd like to see in future chapters. For those who are against Lemons, or Limes, Chapter 13 will have a minor Lime.
