Finally another chapter in one month. This could mean the next chapter is around the corner. Enjoy.

Previously on Naruto

"Will the next contestants come fourth?" Genma announced looking into the waiting room.

The crowded started to get loud waiting for the next match to commence as this day turned out to be exciting for them. It is the best battle that most of them have seen all their lives, and probably the only time too.

"The fifth match, finally. Will she go fourth with the plan?" A girl said with ruby red hair.

"Master." Another man said with light blue hair.

"Don't worry Sado, if she doesn't kill him. My black sword will." A devilish grin formed on her face as her eyes glow red.

"The fifth match Uzumaki Naruto vs Hayashi Syukumei. Begin!" Genma yelled out.

"Finally the match I been waiting for." Fushicho looked onward inside the corridor watching the Genin staring at each other. Standing near her, Sakura was worried about her teammate's safety.

Two sharingan eyes were activated, not wanting to miss any part of this match. Incase Naruto lost; he would have to go against the leader of the Jishin Genins. "Naruto…do not take this girl for granted or she will destroy you."

Shifting her eyes to the right, the Hokage noticed something abnormal as she looked into the crowd. Every one of the Jishin shinobis was carefully watching the match. In which case she realized the little girl facing Naruto was more then meets the eye.

Smiling brightly at his opponent, Naruto was excited it was his turn to fight. Since Sasuke and Nezumi won their match, he had to claim victory in his. Just looking at Syukumei, he knew it would be a piece of cake. He's grown in strength and speed since Tori trained him, and now it was time to show it.

"Naruto," Syukumei says in a sweet voice and brought her finger to her face, making her look more seductive like out of a porn magazine. "Let's do our best. Okay."

Naruto face turned to mush, feeling butterflies in his stomach trapped in her beauty. "Yes, yes let's have a nice battle. I'll try to go easy on you."

Inside, as if hosting another entity inside of her, Syukumei had a sinister grin. 'That boy's dumber then I thought. I'll crush him in less then two minutes. Heh, heh, heh!'

"That idiot! Being fooled by her looks! He hasn't changed at all!" Sakura growled, as Naruto already was sucked into his opponent's game. Sakura scowling eyes snapped towards Fushicho thinking this girl acts just like her. Fushicho knew Sakura was looking at her as she gave her smile. 'These Jishin women are all the same. The only one that was saved was Nezumi.'

"Then let the best Genin win. Okay." Syukumei said smiling at him. She sticks her right hand out, showing to have a friendly competition.

"Okay." Naruto said and shook her hand.

Eyes widen, muscles and bones being forced upon one another, Naruto was clenching his teeth feeling tremendous amount of pain. His hand was being crushed as if being slammed by a hundred pound anvil. Naruto face squint trying not to scream. Syukumei powerful grip made the high spirit boy bend down on one knee to put him in his place where he stood upon facing her.

"Naruto," Syukuemi said sternly. "A weak boy like you is not even worth dieing for. Show me what she has taught you."

Syukumei gripped her left fist and arched it back. She summons up her strength and power punch Naruto right in the chest.

Saliva coming out his mouth, Naruto's body flies across the field 20 meters, going through the large wall of the arena. The incredible impact created a ten foot hole concealing Naruto underneath the debris. His only body part that was showing was his legs as the rest was covered under the bricks.

Everybody jaw drop as it was quiet throughout the arena. Genma mouth was wide open as his toothpick was hanging on his mouth loosely by his dry lips.

Bewildered, Tsunade look down upon the arena amazed by this girl's strength. She wondered could that little girl be a Genin.

"Is that all you have…Naruto." Syukumei said boldly.

The debris that has fallen on Naruto's body started to move. This caught Syukumei attention. The sixteen year old boy emerged from the debris but quickly felled to the ground, throwing up his cereal he had for breakfast.

"Wow, I felt that punch all the way from here?!" Ino said holding her stomach.

"That girl's strength is amazing. Temari, haven't we seen her before?" Kankurou asked his sister.

She thought about it for a minute then remembered being in Tori's room on her desk. It was Tori in a picture with her three cell team and Syukumei was one of them. "Now that you mention it, I have. Hayashi Syukumei was in Tori-san team…which means the person that trained this girl would be Fushicho-san."

"W-What! You mean she was trained by that woman! But why is she still a Genin?" Kankurou asked his sister surprised that somebody trained by Fushicho was not already Jounin within four years or less.

"That I am not sure why," Temari said. "But her clan is one of the oldest and powerful in Jishin, ranging over five hundred years old. They call that clan the Demon Collectors."

"The Demon Collectors?" Shikamaru asked curious.

"Yes, I only know a little information on them while I was in Jishin. They say they collect and use ancient demons for their own purposes, whether in battle or to seal their powers from harming others. But one thing for sure, taking down a beast such as these, they truly become Hayashi warriors that will be remembered in history in their clan. Shikamaru, can you think why she is here?" Temari eyed him.

Shikamaru looked at Naruto knowing what lies within his body by Tsunade and mission reports from Kakashi. "So she's that kind of girl."

"What-What kind of girl?" Ino really wanted to know, clueless what they were talking about.

Lifting himself up from the ground, Naruto shook his head from his ears still ringing like a bomb just went off next to him. The Jinchuuriki looked up wiping the blood from his mouth and stared into Syukumei eyes. He gave her a smirk and started to chuckle.

"I was just testing your strength with that one because I already knew you had to be the strongest in your group, just by the way they all listen to you. So now the real battle will start. So get ready!" Naruto get in his fighting pose.

"Naruto had me worried. Let's go Naruto!" Sakura yelled cheering him on.

'Hmph, he really wants to die. So I will bring him to hell much sooner then he thinks.' Syukumei smirked.

'I need to stay clear of her punches. If I didn't receive that training from Tori, I would have already been down for the count.' Naruto remembered Sasuke's battle with Kuma charging in with his Chidori White Saber. 'I got it. I have to spilt her focus.'

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto created ten clones of himself as they stand in three rows in front of him.

Taking out of their pouch, each of Naruto's clones quickly hurls four shurikens directly at their target. The Jishin Genin stood there not moving from his attack.

Naruto eyes widen as each shuriken phased right through her body as if she was ghost. "What the-! They went right through her. How did she do that?"

Naruto get serious as his clones throw four more shurikens to expose her jutsu. "Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" From his four shurikens he created triple the amount of physical clone copies, resembling a wave of weapons headed straight for Syukumei.

Without even attempting to move from the numerous shurikens, Syukumei once again stood there in a clam state. Inches away from the multiple weapons, Syukumei disappeared in a blink of an eye.

'Where she go!?' Naruto looked left, right, and up, desperately trying to find her.

"Naruto," Syukumei said as the Jinchuuriki eyes widen in shock. She appeared inches behind him facing the opposite direction. "Is this all you can do?"

'How did she…' Naruto thought as his heart was pounding in his ear, nervous and started to become afraid from not seeing her jutsu.

Slowly raising her left arm, the Jishin Genin snapped her finger. Naruto shadow clones quickly disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"All this time of training, is this the only level you have achieved, Naruto." Syukumei said calmly. "I guess you really are dead last. Tori wasted her efforts on trying to make you achieve a false dream…to become Hokage. You're nothing more then a weak child who can do nothing without the aid of that demon inside of you."

Naruto quickly looked at her wondering how she knew about Kyuubi and Tori.

"Nobody in this village told you that you're still a laughing stock." She continued taunting him. "They will never make you become Hokage. Failures are always failures."

Naruto clenched his fist in anger of this girl's words. "I will become Hokage. I promised somebody I will reach that goal no matter what because it is my dream."

"Naruto…do you even know why Kage are needed in this world?" Syukumei asked him.

"To protect the village and the people they hold dear to them. That is who is granted Kage of their village" Naruto answered.

Syukumei closed her eyes for fifteen seconds then opened them again from the false lies this boys have been spoon fed. "So, you're saying Gaara that was chosen as Kazkage holds true to this principle, even though everybody feared his power. You are so naïve."

"What?"

"Those who become Kage of their village are merely puppets by the politicians who truly govern the land. A weapon and nothing more. Your job is to kill and slay monsters for the so called glory of your village. All false lies even though the people in the village itself are suffering." She gazed upon the leader of Jishin village in the stands sitting next to the heir of the Hyuugas. It made her stomach sick of hating that man beyond recognition for making her friend take her own life.

"What are you getting at?"

Syukumei looked directly into Naruto sky blue eyes. "If Tori were alive, knowing what she was and the danger she brings, would you kill her or would you give up your dream and stand by her?"

Naruto eyed her, wondering why she was asking him this. "Tori would want me to become Hokage. She trained me so I could become closer to my dream. If she was alive, she would say that."

"So that is your answer," Syukumei closed her eyes and inhaled. She quickly flashed them open again with a deadly serious look. "Then you are no better then the people in this village. Sacrificing and using others to gain happiness which is truly false. You truly are a child that knows nothing. I will have no regrets of what I must do to protect the one I cherish the most."

"Huh?" Naruto gave her a puzzled look. Her words to him were like a three hundred piece puzzle that he couldn't put together in one day.

Syukumei quickly disappeared from Naruto's site. Phasing back into existence, she appeared in front of him and landed a powerful punch to his chest, hearing cracking noises in his body. The powerful blow pushed her target back as Naruto body skidded on the ground, like a rag doll, and landing fifteen meters away from Syukumei position.

Wasting no time, Syukumei quickly charged towards the fallen boy as the Jinchuuriki felt her coming towards him. He looked up.

"Lighting Uppercut!!" Syukumei right fist circulated with lighting and uppercuts Naruto form the chest up. His ragged body was forced into the air upon impact.

'Dam it!' Naruto eyes widen, feeling like his not falling back to the ground like a normal person would. He felt like time has slowed down for him.

"What's the matter Naruto? Can't keep up?" Syukumei said taunting him as her voice echoed around him like a ghost.

'W-What's going on? How is she slowing down time?' He thought, frightened.

"I'm not slowing down time, Naruto. Your body is to slow to react to my movements. Now I will show you my speed." Syukumei landed continuous punches on Naruto body at lightening speed like hitting a speed bag. Naruto tried to block the attack but his movements were to slow to even stop one fist.

'Shit. I can't see her…Tori.' Naruto felt the last punch as it knock him back to the ground like a comet, forming a crater on impact. The mighty collision towards the ground filled the arena with dust. Thirty punches landed on Naruto in less then ten seconds as he could feel the pain burning through his body.

Silence filled the stadium as everybody was stunned. They weren't surprised that Naruto was being hurt by a girl, but they were astonished because they couldn't see fast enough of what was happening to him. Even the Hokage was puzzled, along with her apprentice.

Bewildered, Sasuke couldn't see what was happening to Naruto in the ten second that past with his Sharingan. It was as if Naruto was being hit by thin air.

'Theirs no way he can beat somebody like her! Naruto, your eyes can't see something that fast.' Sasuke looked at Nezumi with concerned eyes, as she already knew Naruto could not defeat her.

Sakura saw Naruto badly beaten body on the ground. 'She's so fast. How can she be so fast?! Naruto.' She feared for this worst for her teammate.

Fushicho watched, curious how Naruto will respond. However she knew that Syukumei attack is not so easily to brush off. Right now this battle is one sided and may stay like that if Naruto doesn't do something.

Naruto tried to move his body but the pain was too agonizing for him to bear. It's as if gravity has betrayed him just like time. He cursed at his immobilized body wishing something to move.

A brown hawk was flying in the sky as it was headed towards the sun. Naruto squinted his eyes of the blinding sun that harmed his eyes. 'I can't see her. How can I land any type of attack if she can dodge the attack faster then sound?'

"So…are you going to give up, Naruto."

Naruto eyes widen in shock. 'Tori!'

Flashback

Breathing heavily on the ground trying to catch his breath, Naruto eyes were watching the blue sky. Sweat dripped down his face from the intense workout he was under lately. His eyes tried to block out the sun's rays as they were doing murder on his flesh from the overwhelming heat.

"So…are you going to give up, Naruto."

"I…I…I can't see you," Naruto said trying to catch his breath. "You're…too fast. My eyes are to slow to keep up with your speed."

Tori thought about it for a second. "I guess your right. After nearly three months of training, you can't see me at all blindfolded or not. You can't think all that well neither in heated situations so you are at a disadvantage all around. It amazes me how you made it this far as a Shinobi." She mumbled to herself.

Naruto gave her a sulking look. 'She's always thinking of me stupid and useless all the time. My ego just dropped hundred points.'

Tori slapped her fist and palm together joyfully getting an idea. "I got it, you'll just cheat."

Naruto lifted his body up from the ground and into a sitting position. "Just cheat?"

"Yes. I should have seen it sooner. Will just use him," Tori said and pointed towards his stomach as Naurto looked confused. "Naruto, make Kyuubi give you his vision and speed like he's been doing before."

"Kyuubi?"

"Yes. My speed is far beyond your years Naruto, probably decades, but Kyuubi is way stronger then me so he can see my movements. Seeing my movements and letting him give you his speed just alone will keep you in control of your body. It's time for you to make a compromise with him."

"Compromise, how am I going to do that? I can't use Kyuubi powers efficiently and I lose control too easily." Naruto assured her.

"That's because you allow him too. If you come to an agreement, he won't feel the urge to take over your body and make you lose control. Just like me…Ahem…I mean somebody I know can do it." Tori said avoiding Naruto stare as she almost slipped out about Okami resting inside of herself.

"Compromise huh? But wait, I thought the idea of training is to not rely on his powers?" Naruto asked.

"Yes but people cheat in battle all the time, so it's ok for you to pull out your secret weapon when you need it. But not all the time. If I had more time with you I could teach you how. Unfortunately time is not on our side. So you would have to figure it out on your own. Better make it good." She gave him a smile.

Flashback Ends

'Compromise?' Naruto thought to himself. 'I have to try. But that guy hasn't been cooperating with me since nine months ago. However, if I don't try, this girl is going to crush me. Here goes nothing.'

Naruto closed his eyes to concentrate his mind, to bring him to the beast prison that he has been for sixteen years. He felt a warm breeze blow in front of him. Naruto opened his eyes and looked at the seal containing his alter ego locked away.

"Hey fox, it's time for you to wake up!" Naruto shouted out in a demanding voice. Kyuubi doesn't listen to him, as if deliberately ignoring him. Naruto started to get irritated. "Hey you stupid fox, I said it time to wake up!"

In the black darkness in the background, Kyuubi right eye quickly opened staring at the rowdy teenage boy. The fox beast turned to look at his foolish Jinchuuriki as he showed his large fangs at him.

"Why are you bothering me…you worthless boy?" Kyuubi asked in a grumpy mood.

"I need you to lend me your speed and sight."

"Speed and sight?" Kyuubi paused of his specific order which was a first. "Ha Ha Ha! Are you kidding me? Now you're asking for my power when you can't even beat a girl. You are a worthless child. HA HA HA HA!!"

Naruto clenched his teeth in anger of him mocking him. He hated to be humiliated, especially by him. "Stop laughing you blasted fox. I'm offering a compromise!"

Kyuubi kept laughing but an image of Syukumei flashed through his mind staring directly into his eyes. 'Those eyes….Now I see. They finally came to kill me. But what is their purpose this time.'

Staring at a forest on top of a cliff, a beautiful young woman was enjoying a breeze that was blowing through. Pulling her hair back she turned around and looked at the young handsome man watching her. She smiled and place out her hand for him to take it. The young man eyes widen in surprise.

'Fukushu!'

"Hey you are ignoring me again!" Naruto shouted out, frustrated.

"SILENCE!" He yelled at the egger boy. Kyuubi thought over Naruto's proposal still thinking of that image from Fukushu. It meant something and he had to find out. "Fine…I will grant you a compromise. You will be able to use my powers at will to a certain degree. Until the favor can be return to me."

"A favor?"

"Do you accept or not?" Kyuubi quickly replied back to his question.

Naruto felt nervous when he responded back abrasively. "I will."

"Then it is settled. Use it well!"

Red bubbling chakra seeped out of Kyuubi's cage and came closer to the Jinchuuriki like a parasite needing a host to live. Blue eyes widen and change reddish yellow as his body was becoming consumed by red chakra. He closed his eyes feeling the pain of his musels was being contracted. It was as if his entire body was being transformed to become accustomed to the enormous power the fox beast was giving him.

'I will...' A bright white light surrounded the blonde hair boy. He could hear footsteps approaching him as he lad on his back. 'I will…I will win!' Naruto opened his eyes which he saw a kind smile of his awakening.

"So, you finally understand." Naruto smirked as he heard Tori's voice. Her finger pointed towards the sky just like Nezumi calm Sasuke down during his battle. "Do your best Naruto? Those who aim for their dreams will become a mighty hurricane."

Syukumei eyes gazed upon the once finished Konoha Genin. Red charka started to surge through his body, as wind started to pick up. It was now she took him serious since he called upon the beast powers within him.

Naruto stood up and clenched his fist together feeling this new power that he never felt before. His body felt awaken feeling like he could control the Kyuubi's powers at this level which would be three tails. 'Now I see Tori. This is what a compromise can do. Full cooperation with the Bijuu without them fighting for control over your body.'

Naruto smirked at Syukumei. He had a fighting chance to beat her this time around. It was round two and he was going to win this match.

"Going to win this match now are you?" Syukumei told Naruto. It surprised the confused Jinchuuriki that she knew what he was thinking. It also made him on edge that she wasn't afraid of his increase in chakra. "Then let's see."

Syukumei quickly flashed in front of Naruto with quick speed. However, this time her body was moving in a speed Naruto could see her. Although her body was moving at quick speed, but her chakra was causing blue light to emit off her body.

'I can see…I can see her now!' Naruto caught Syukumei fist that was aimed at his face as a gushed of wind surrounded them from the enormous chakra buildup from the attack. The Jishin Genin was impressed that he seen through her jutsu.

Sasuke eyes widen in shock. "He caught her punch. Was it a fluke?"

"He caught it." Sakura looked stunned that Naruto was able to see her speed. It was faster then the speed Tori were using against them during their training.

Fushicho grinned that Naruto finally found an answer towards Syukumei's deadly speed and power attack. Like Syukumei, Fushicho could see the power surging through Naruto's entire body. 'Now the tables are turned. It won't go your way for now on Syukumei. Now you are going up against a powerful Jinchuuriki.'

Quickly, Syukumei flashed behind Naruto and does a roundhouse kick to the back of his head. Naruto quickly sees the blue light and stopped her attack once again with his bare hands.

'What the-? He stopped two of my attacks with his bare hands. A normal opponent hands would have been crushed from that tremendous amount of pressure…but his are not affected.' Syukumei flashed away from Naruto to give herself some room to come up with a different approach to the situation.

Naruto smiled. He snapped his fingers and pointed towards the baffled Jishin Juggernaut. "I can see you now. Now I will show you what a future Hokage can do."

Nikato started to bust out laughing of the boy's over confident attitude. "This little boy thinks he's actually doing something. He must be a poor strategist, egging on Syukumei like this. He better watch himself, right Sakoto." She gave her a devilish grin. The once emotionless little girl covered in bandages around her face was actually smiling.

Sasuke looked towards the talkative girl, curious. He had to admit, Sakoto smiling did disturbed him even worse then Nikato sinister grin.

'I guess it's time to clip this boy's wings.' Syukumei dung into her black pouch attached to her pants and took out a kunai. This wasn't any normal kunai. Character symbols were placed around it and a seal placed at the bottom of the sharp knife. The Jishin Genin put her index and middle finger between her eyes. 'Release.'

The little white paper sizzled off as a black substances was at the end of the kunai.

'What the hell is she doing?' Sasuke thought eyeing the kunai in Syukumei possession.

The red demon girl in the audience started to chuckle to herself. She knew all too well what that dagger was because she was the one that gave it to her.

'Time for him to die for taking her away from me. Uzumaki Naruto.' Deadly red eyes gazed upon the boy she wanted dead for interfering with her battles in the past.

Flashback

Two months ago

Slithering through the forest down a small cliff, a large Ohitsujiza was making its way towards his master. Frighten eyes from the other animals near him ran for cover when the twenty foot long snake went past them. They really prayed it wasn't hungry, or they would be done for. With its massive size in body even the birds in the tall trees were an easy meal for this giant.

Moving a piece of wood with a stick from a camp fire, Syukumei made sure the fire would keep continuing to burn throughout the night. Sakoto was in her navy blue sleeping bag watching the stars in the sky as Kuma was sound asleep in his red sleeping bag. Attracted by the fire, the giant Ohitsujiza quietly proceeded forward towards the young Jishin Genins.

"Sakoto go to sleep. We must complete our mission tomorrow by dawn. If this keeps on going I might have to kill the missing-nins for the trouble their causing us to find them."

"You're losing your patients Oneechan." Sakoto told her, still admiring the stars in the nightly sky. "You shouldn't get discouraged from these inferiors objects in our way. Once we are done this meaningless task, we can start our real mission."

Syukumei placed out her hand as the sneakily Ohitsujiza that was approaching the camp fire, large head went under his master hands. She petted him as his v shape tongue came out in satisfaction.

"Don't worry. Mother will come back to us." Syukumei eyes wondered in the distance in the deepen forest, seeing two pairs of red demon eyes glowing in the distance. She stood up as she gave the signal to Ohitsujiza to stay with the others while she investigated the dark aura surrounding the area. Although she noticed them two days ago in this quiet village they settled upon, but she didn't actually think they would show themselves this visible to her. It was suicide to challenge her in her emotional state. When she becomes enraged, the hungry power within her wants to destroy everything in its path.

Walking further into the forest, the red demon eyes started to become clearer as they were eyes of a ruby hair girl and a young handsome man. The wondering Jishin Genin was calm, not afraid of meeting two Udea clan members like other spineless villagers in the world.

"Why are you here, Ueda Tsuki and Sado?" Syukumei asked her unwanted guest. She recognized Tsuki being the S-Ranked missing-nin from her village, the Hidden Mist village. She heard from Tori the name of the man she was traveling.

"Interesting," Syukumei said. "You are not with your shark friend. The man with the large sword."

Tsuki smirked of Syukumei highly knowledge of her. "He left me awhile back to join another organization. That's what older brothers do. They have a tendency to leave their siblings for quest for power." She joked about the Akatsuki taking her beloved brother away and the reason why she didn't want to join them in the first place. They were all just pawns for the true person that was controlling the whole operation. One thing she hated in this world is being treated like a pawn. She demonstrated that power when she slathered the entire council of the Iwa village using her as a pawn to kill Tori of their fear of Okami's power.

"Why are you here?" Syukumei asked not liking to be in their presence for to long. For all she knew it could be a trap.

"You're not going to kill me?" Tsuki replied back.

"You are not my target to kill right now. I can care less why your village wants to kill you." The unsympathetic Jishin juggernaut said.

"Hmph. Though I am a criminal, you will let me go and allow me to harm other innocent people."

"Innocent people. Hmph. Don't compare them to me. Please leave before I consider you my enemy right now." Syukumei turned around and headed back towards the camp.

"So I see. You hate that boy so much don't you?" Tsuki asked her, figuring out Syukumei reasons for keeping her alive. Syukumei wanted her to kill the boy for her.

Syukumei halted and eyed behind her while clenching her fist together. She felt frustrated that her friend would give her life stupidly to an unworthy boy such as him.

"Though we may be enemies to their eyes," Tsuki said referring to the village they represent or in Tsuki case use to represent. "However, we share the same enemy. The boy will destroy everything if we allow that monster near Tori again. You already know what happened before and now she is in the grasp of the Akatsuki. I'm not sure what they have plans for her but I won't allow them to manipulate her for too long. Unless they plan to destroy the five powerful shinobi villages then I am all for it. War doesn't hurt anybody." She smirked, chuckling inside about her sickly comment.

"You are making me angry right now. And if I get angry then she will get angry." Syukumei said boldly.

Tsuki eyes shifted behind her and saw Sakoto with a kunai in her hand. Her emotionless expression gave Tsuki a chill up her spin. A child giving her this sensation; Tsuki knew she was like her. A Ueda.

"So I see. I'm not here for a fight…for once." Tsuki took out a kunai with seal attached to the bottom and character marking all around it. "But I will give you a present." She tossed the kunai towards Syukumei. The Jishin Genin caught it, puzzled why Tsuki the red eye demon would give her anything. "I got a message from a bird that the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki will be participating in the Chuunin Exams that are taking place in Konoha in two months. If you want to save the one you want to protect, all you have to do is cut him."

"Poison." Syukumei said already analyzing the kunai seal.

"Indeed you are smart." Tsuki smirked. "I would kill him myself with it but unfortunately Konoha doesn't like me. Actually, Jishin Genins are taking part in the exam this year which means security will be difficult to entire. Your sensei will see to it. However, if this was in a normal battle then his death would be fair game."

Syukumei eyed the deadly kunai. The markings started to glow black that made her think twice about using it. "Where is the antidote?"

"Huh?"

"This is poison we are dealing with. It would be stupid to not have the antidote." Syukumei said not taking any chances if she mistakenly cut herself.

"You won't need it."

"When facing a Jinchuuriki you must expect the impossible. Tori trained him for a reason. I will not underestimate him like others have in the past. I am going to ask again before I say the deal is off, where is the antidote?" Syukumei said in a serious tone not liking to repeat herself.

Tsuki stared at the Jishin Genin knowing this girl could get the job done. She is a Hayashi after all. 'Tori, once we kill the boy…we will meet again. Then we can resume are battle without any interruptions.' She grinned.

Flashback ends

Syukumei held the kunai in her hand. It was time for the plan to commence. She will kill the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, one way or another.
