Chapter 9: New enemies?! Organization with the red clouds!
"Who wants the first privilege to have a dance with me?" mocked Shiro, with a grin.
"Allow me!" declared Erza as she charged in with her sword.
"I've been waiting for this rematch!" smirked Shiro, as he dodged Erza's assault. Shiro caught Erza's arm, stopping her attack. Erza, using her free arm, summoned another of her sword, and struck Shiro. Shiro, letting go of Erza's arm, jumped back dodging the attack.
"Aren't you quick on your feet!" exclaimed Erza, as she charged in for another there assault. Shiro smirked as he striked Erza in the stomach with his palm.
"Come on!" yelled out Shiro. "Don't tell me this is all you got!' Shiro eyes widened as Erza made a recovery, and kicked him in the stomach, sending him soaring through the air.
"Not even close!" Erza dashed after Shiro, and rapidly attacking him with her dual swords. Shiro's cut up body burst into purple electricity, paralyzing Erza. "What, a clone!" exclaimed Erza in shock.
"Erza, watch out!" Erza turn slightly to see two Naruto clones kicking Shiro in the face.
"Erza, you okay?" asked Naruto.
Erza nodded. "Yes, I'll be fine. Thank you for the assist."
"Both you need to keep your guard up." declared Kakashi. "Shiro is not one to mess around with."
"Yeah, no kidding." commented Erza. Shiro stood up after Naruto's kick unharmed.
"I kicked him full force." frowned Naruto. "And it didn't even faze him."
Meanwhile with Sakura, and Hikari's fight. Durum charged towards Hikari, punching her at rapidly. Hikari was easily dodging Durum punches with ease.
"All strength, but no speed." declared Hikari as she swiftly kicks Durum in the stomach rapidly. Hikari jumped in the air to let Sakura attack. Sakura lands a strong punch on Durum's face sending him sliding across the ground.
"You bitch!" cursed Durum. "I'll tear you apart!" Sakura, and Durum dashed towards each other as their punches collided with both of them in a struggle. Sakura smirked as she landed a punch in Durum in stomach, and another punch in the chest.
"Not much of a challenge, huh?" said Hikari.
"All bark, and no bite." smirked Sakura.
"You dare mock me!" yelled Durum, as he punched the ground sending out spikes of earth at the two females. Sakura, and Hikari jumped up dodging the earth spikes. Sakura, and Hikari slammed Durum to the ground with a ax kick causing the ground to crack.
Zoro, with both swords out, and Arisu were clashing with their swords as sparks would fly with each collision. Despite only wielding one sword, Arisu is able to deflect, and dodged Zoro slashes. Arisu swinged her sword horizontally, and Zoro jumped in the air dodging the attack. Zoro caught Arisu sword, and was about to strike with his other sword. Arisu sidestepped dodging Zoro's attack completely, and disappeared from Zoro's sight.
"What the!" Zoro was in shock to see Arisu disappeared from his sight completely. "Where she go!"
"Sonic Thrust!" Zoro turned around quickly to block Arisu's thrust attack, but was still pushed by the sheer force of her attack. "Nice job blocking my attack."
Zoro smirked. "You're not bad yourself, that "Sonic Thrust" must be a really good swordsmen technique if it was able to push me."
"Trust me, when I say, I have a techniques that you've never seen before." commented Arisu, ready to battle again.
"Then show me!" smirked Zoro, as he was also getting ready to fight again. Arisu charged at Zoro swinging her sword with rapid speed. Zoro kept his smirk on as he dodged Arisu's assault. Zoro backed up, and sheath one of his swords, which confuse Arisu. "Let's see how you handle this!" Zoro holds his sword above his shoulder, preparing his attack.
"What is he doing?" thought Arisu.
"36 Caliber Phoenix!" Zoro swinged his sword in a circular motion, launching a air compressed projectile. Arisu eyes widen as blocked Zoro's air slash, and manage to deflect it into the air, which cause some of the branches to be cut off from some trees.
"Not bad, not only did she block my attack, but also manage to deflect it." thought Zoro, with a smirked.
"That was an interesting technique." commented Arisu. "An air slash attack, huh?"
"It's a technique I learned awhile back." explained Zoro, drawing his second sword. "It's still in development there is more I can do with that attack."
"If he has any more techniques like that." Arisu stared at Zoro as she was getting ready for another round with Zoro. "This may end up being more challenging."
Back to Naruto, Kakashi, and Erza's fight with Shiro. Shiro was easily defeating Naruto's clones. None of Naruto's clones could even land a hit on Shiro. One of Naruto's clone came charging at Shiro with a kunai. Shiro dodged the clone's assault, and twisted it's arm, and stole the kunai. Shiro kicked the clone away as it popped from existence. Purple lightning started to gather around the kunai as Shiro started to swing it with his finger. Shiro threw the kunai as it stabbed a clone, and then purple lightning burst from the kunai as it took out the last few clones.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Shiro turned around to see a huge fireball coming towards his way. Shiro smirked as he jumped up dodging the fire style jutsu. Shiro turned around to see Erza in the air as well. Shiro dodged Erza's slash, and kneed her in the stomach. Shiro ax punched her, sending her hurtling towards the ground.
"Come on, you three. Not even trying here." mocked Shiro. "Aren't you suppose to be the best where you come from?"
"He's just toying with us." growled Naruto.
"Calm down, Naruto." instructed Kakashi. "Lose focus, and you'll give him exactly what he wants." Erza stood up as she glared at Shiro. "Are you alright, Erza?"
"I'm fine." replied Erza.
"Shall we start again." smirked Shiro. Shiro let his smirk down as a ringing noise was coming from his pocket. Shiro took out his own P.A.T device, and put it to his ear. "Hello?"
"I don't like this." Kakashi narrowed his eyes in suspicion as Shiro started to smirk.
"Well done." Shiro laughed as he hanged up, and put away his P.A.T. "My men found the jinchūriki." announced Shiro.
"What!" exclaimed Naruto.
"They haven't capture her yet, seem to be having trouble catching her." shrugged Shiro. "Durum, Arisu, we are leaving."
"Hey, what's going!" shouted Sakura, as Durum leaped away. "Why are you running away!"
"Kakashi what's going on?" question Hikari,
"They found the jinchūriki." frowned Kakashi.
"That's bad." frowned Hikari,
"Looks like we're going to have to finish this another day swordsmen." said Arisu, as she sheath her sword, and leaped away.
"Hey, get back here!" yelled Zoro. "You can't just run!"
"Everyone, follow them!" ordered Kakashi.
"No complaints here!" exclaimed Naruto, as everyone went to follow Shiro's group.
"Lord Shiro, it looks like they're following us." said Durum.
Shiro smirked. "Indeed they are."
"You're not getting away from me!" thought Kakashi, as he was preparing a series of hand signs. "Lightning Style: LightningBeast Tracking Fang!" From Kakashi's hand, lightning started to form into a hound, and launched itself towards Shiro's group.
Shiro turned around as he grabbed his right wrist with his left hand. "Tch, just won't give up will you." Purple lightning started to form into orb of dark mana energy as the purple lightning started to circle around the orb. "Oblivion Discharge!" Shiro launched his attack at Kakashi's jutsu as both attacks collided, letting a big explosion occurred.
"Everyone, scatter!" ordered Kakashi, from the smoke created by the explosion. 9 figures from the smoke separated from each other, going into separate locations in the forest.
To Kakashi's location
"Looks like I got separated from everyone else." After leaping far enough, Kakashi stopped to take a look around his surroundings. "Though, be separated could work in our advantage, maybe Shiro's group got separated as well from that explosion." Kakashi jumped down from the tree, and started to run. "From what I can gather, Shiro is probably the only one who knows where the jinchuriki is located. If I can find him, I can probably distract him long enough for the others to find the jinchuriki."
To Zoro's location
"Looks like we got separated, great." groaned Zoro. "I guess the course of action is to take out those Crusade members." Zoro started to run through the forest. "With them out the way, it will be easier for us to find the jinchuriki."
To Luffy, Natsu, and Ryo's fight
Luffy, Naruto, and Ryo dodged the Behemoth tackle. The Sphinx Crusade soldiers were standing on the sidelines as they watch their beast charging at the three heroes.
"So, that's a Behemoth." gulped a soldier. "I heard rumors we had one, but to actually see one, it's kinda overwhelming."
The leader smirked. "If this one small Behemoth overwhelms you, then maybe it's good you haven't seen the ones we have back at home base."
"Okay, enough of this!" exclaimed Natsu, as he charged at the beast. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu punched it in the cheek sending it flying. The Behemoth recovered mid air, and planted itself on the ground. Ryo charged at the beast, and slashed it. Ryo's eyes widened as his slash didn't do anything to the beast skin. The Behemoth roared as Ryo quickly kicked the beast in the face sending it towards Luffy's direction as Luffy had his arms stretch back.
"Gum Gum Bazooka!" Luffy launched his attack at the Behemoth's stomach, making it howl in pain. Ryo ran towards the beast slashing the Behemoth with his sword, but just like last time, it had no effect on the beast. The Behemoth swiped his claw at Ryo. Ryo raised his arm blocking the attack, but was still sending flying at the snake statue.
"Ryo, you alright?" called out Natsu, as Ryo jumped down from the top of the statue.
"Yeah, I'm fine." replied Ryo. "Just trying to figure out why none of my attacks are working!"
The leader of the group started to laugh. "Of course your puny sword won't harm our Behemoth!" Ryo looked over at the leader in confusion. "You see this Behemoth is a special breed. No sword, or spear can scratch its skin!"
Ryo smirked. "Is that right?" Ryo sheath his sword, and dashed towards the beast. "Looks like I have to do this the old fashion way!"
"Don't leave us behind!" smirked Natsu, as Luffy, and himself were charging right beside Ryo.
"This beast is not going to beat us!" declared Luffy. "The same goes for your leader!" Luffy striked the Behemoth with a Gum Gum Pistol. Natsu attacked next with his Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, leaving Ryo with the finishing blow.
"Phoenix Dance!" Ryo cloaked his feet in fire, and started to hit the Behemoth with barrages of enhance fire kicks, and then finished off his combo with downward heel kick. The Behemoth cracked the ground once it was hit by Ryo's final attack. The Behemoth stood up once more, but the beast legs were shaking as it got up.
"Alright, it looks like we're weakening it!" declared Luffy. "Just a few more attacks, and it should be down for good."
Uh, sir, this isn't looking good!" declared a Crusade grunt. "The three of them are actually winning!" The leader clench his fist in anger as he didn't expect the fight to be going in this direction.
The Behemoth howled as Luffy, Natsu, and Ryo smirked. The beast ran towards the trio ready to tackle it them. Natsu, and Ryo jumped on the Behemoth's horn, leaped off from it, and punched the Behemoth's back giving Luffy an opening.
"Gum Gum Gatling Gun!" Luffy unleashed a barrage of fists at the Behemoth. The beast was send flying, sliding across the ground, and crash into the wall causing it to collapse.
"Looks like it's close to being beaten." smirked Luffy. "Just a couple of more hits, and it should be down.
"Stupid beast!" cursed the leader, as he pulled out a device. The leader pressed on the device, and the Behemoth started to howl in pain. "Get back up! Your not done yet!" The Behemoth started to stand up, and came running at Luffy, Natsu, and Ryo.
"Why won't you just stay down!" roared Natsu, as he used his Fire Dragon's Roar. The behemoth manage to dodge Natsu's attack, and headbutt him in the stomach. Next, the behemoth slammed his claws at Luffy. Luffy jumped up, dodging the attack, but was whip by the beast tail. Ryo was jumping backwards dodging the behemoths bites. The behemoth open its mouth which gave Ryo an opening. Ryo slammed his knee into the beast jaw as the beast howled in pain. Luffy was in the air above the behemoth with his leg stretch into the air.
"Gum Gum Battle Axe!" Luffy slammed his foot on the beast head causing the ground to shake. The behemoth looked up to see Natsu, with both of his fist in flames.
"This time, stay down!" yelled out Natsu. "Fire Dragon's Secret Art: Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu rapidly punched the behemoth with his enhanced fire punches. The behemoth was sent flying towards the group of Sphinx Crusade soldiers, and crashed into the wall. The leader eyes widen at the defeat of their behemoth. Sure it was a low class behemoth, but normal people shouldn't be even defeat a behemoth period not matter what class they are.
"Sir, they defeated the behemoth!" exclaimed a crusade soldier, shaking in fear. "What do we do!"
"So you guys ready to give up?" question Ryo, as he unsheathe his sword.
Luffy cracked his knuckles with a smirk on his face. " Or do we still have to bash some skulls in?"
The leader started to growled as his soldiers just stood there looking at the trio with fear in their eyes. The leader turned to the fallen behemoth with his device out. "Get up! You're still not done yet!"
Natsu sighed annoyance. "Are you still planning to use that behemoth?"
"It's not strong enough to beat us." said Luffy.
The leader was not listening as he pressed a button on his device causing the behemoth to howl in pain. "GET UP!"
"Hey, are you even listening!" shouted Ryo. "It can't fight anymore!"
The leader turn a knob on the device causing the behemoth to howl even more as the pain started to increase. Lighting starting to surge around the beast. "Who says you can rest, your not done yet! SO GET THE HELL UP!" yelled out the leader. "GET THE HELL UP, AND WIN MY BATTLE!"
"Enough! It can't fight anymore!" yelled Ryo.
"That damn bastard is hurting it!" Natsu glared at the leader. "It's one of them, doesn't he care about its well being!"
"I don't care about this beast! If it can't handle this, then it deserves to die!" yelled the leader, hearing Natsu. "It's only purpose is to serve me, and win my battles!" The leader pressed the button again as the the behemoth started to spit out blood.
"ENOUGH OF THIS!" Luffy charged right at the leader. "If you want to win so badly!" Luffy punched the leader with all his strength, sending him crashing into the wall. "Then, fight your own battles!" The device the leader had in his hand was thrown in the air, and was immediately destroyed by Ryo.
The group of Crusade soldiers were walking back slowly away from Luffy feeling fear washing over their body.
"So you guys." The group of Crusade Soldiers immediately turned around to see Natsu cracking his knuckles with a smirk. "You guys want to keep fighting or you want to give up?"
The soldiers all looked at each other, and immediately threw their weapons on the ground. "WE GIVE UP! DON'T HURT US!"
"Good choice." commented Natsu, as the soldiers ran out the room. Natsu looked over where the behemoth was, and saw Ryo kneeled down looking over at the behemoth's body. "Is it going to be okay?"
"Yeah, I think it will be fine." smiled Ryo. "Though it's still a child, I think it will be fine."
"That's considered as a child!" exclaim Natsu, and Luffy, in shock. Ryo nodded.
"But its so big!" said Luffy.
"Behemoths don't really grow in sizes. You can tell if they are an a child or an adult usually by the color of their skin." explained Ryo.
"These things are so cool!" exclaimed Natsu, with Luffy nodding in agreement.
"Well, we should probably get going." said Ryo.
Natsu, and Luffy nodded. "The crusade soldiers had said, they don't have the jinchuruki here." said Natsu. "That would mean, he/she is still out there."
"Come on! Let's get going!" exclaim Luffy. Natsu, and Ryo nodded. The behemoth let out a low growl catching the attention of the three trio.
"Look at that, you're okay!" smiled Natsu. The behemoth whimpered.
"Don't worry, those bastards won't hurt you anymore." smiled Luffy. "You know, you're pretty strong! Someone like you shouldn't hang around with weaklings like them." The behemoth gave the trio a confusing look.
Ryo nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I wouldn't mind fighting you again! My master always told me behemoths were pretty tough." Ryo smiled. "Looks like he was right." The behemoth looked at Luffy, Natsu, and Ryo as it listened to their kind words. The behemoth starting to get up which alarmed Luffy, Natsu, and Ryo. The behemoth nudged his head towards his back.
"Wait… you want us… to ride you?" question Natsu, surprise by the behemoth gesture. The behemoth nodded.
"You're willing to help us?" asked Ryo. The behemoth nodded.
"This is going to be awesome!" cheered Luffy as he jumped on the behemoth back.
"We're actually going to ride a behemoth! I've always dreamed of riding one!" Ryo jumped on the behemoth's back with the obvious excitement in his eyes.
"Thanks a bunch!" Natsu jumped on the behemoth back. "We owe you one!" The behemoth roared in response as he jumped up, and started to rip apart the ceiling with his claws.
?
While both Kakashi. And Yuri's team fight off Xeno's Sphinx Crusade, a new organization is on its way to join the fight. Two people from said organization is already on their way. These two people are Itachi Uchiha, and Kisame Hoshigaki of the Akatsuki.
"Well, things sure got interesting." smirked Kisame. "Right, Itachi?" Itachi remained silent as Kisame continue talking. "Hard to believe there is another group after the jinchuriki, like we are."
"Kisame." said Itachi. "Whatever you do, do not underestimate the enemies we are about to face."
"Well, Itachi, seems to me you know about this new organization." replied Kisame. "Care to share?" Itachi kept silence, causing Kisame to smirk. "Well, I guess that just leaves more fun for me."
To Ichigo, and Nami
Ichigo, and Nami were leading out Millie, and his family out of Sphinx Crusade's hideout. While running in the hallways, they could see hear the sounds of Natsu, Luffy, and Ryo's fight with the behemoth.
"What is going?" question Soka, with a frown. "Sphinx Crusade have never been this noisy before!"
"I don't think its them." said Ichigo. "It's possible our friends are taking the grunts down."
"Your friends?" Soka looked shocked.
"I'm pretty sure we mention we had friends that came with us." replied Nami. "And knowing Luffy, he probably got the attention of the grunts here." Nami sighed. "Oh well, at least it draws their attention away from us!"
"I do hope your friends will be okay." said Millie. "I believe a week ago Sphinx Crusade had received a behemoth from their main base."
"What's a behemoth?" asked Ichigo.
"A high class monster." answered Millie. "A beast with destructive power. I've heard Sphinx Crusade have a cage of these vile beast in their control."
"I really do not like the sound of that." said Nami, while hugging herself.
Ichigo smirked. "Well, I wouldn't worry too much. I believe Natsu, Luffy, and Ryo will be fine with whatever challenge is on thrown at them."
"Do you believe in your friends that much?" question Soka, in shock. "Those things can rip off human bones like it was paper!'
"It's weird." Ichigo started to say. "I've only known them for three weeks, but I know they can do it!" Ichigo smirked. "I have complete faith in them!"
Nami nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you can trust Luffy, he is my captain. And while I don't know Natsu, and Ryo all that well, Luffy trusts them, and so I'll trust them as well."
"Tch, I'll believe it when I see it." retorted Soka. "You kids, thinking you can stand against Sphinx Crusade, so far I think you kids are nothing but all talk!"
"Soka!" frowned Jennie. "These kind people are willing to help us escape, and not once have you shown any gratefulness!"
"No, it's fine." said Ichigo. "Listen, Soka, by the end of this, we'll prove you wrong!" Soka did not respond back as the group finally made it to the exit.
"I can't believe it!" exclaimed Jennie. "We're actually out! The only time they let us out is when getting supplies."
"It is actually nice to breath, and take in all the air." said Millie as he take a deep breath. "So refreshing."
"I wouldn't get to relax." said Ichigo. "Sphinx Crusade's grunts can be lurking around here. I suggest we get out of this forest as quickly as possible." The ground started to shake catching everybody's attention. "Everyone, stay close to one another!"
"I knew it, I knew it was to good to be true!" cursed Soka. "Those damn Sphinx Crusade will never let us go!" The ground burst open, and what came landing down was a behemoth.
"It's a behemoth!" exclaim Millie, in shock, and fear as Tonya, and Ronya owner hiding behind their mother.
"Looks like your friends fail to beat that behemoth we were trying to warn you about!" yelled Soka. "Still have faith in those friends of yours! You can't beat the Sphinx Crusade, boy!"
"Damn!" cursed Ichigo, as he took out Zangetsu.
"Luffy, and the others lose?" said Nami, in disbelief, as she took out her clima-tact. "I can't believe that!"
"What did you do to our friends!" frowned Ichigo. The behemoth looked down at Ichigo, and Nami. "Answer me!" The behemoth remained silent as it continue to stare at Ichigo. "Fine, have it your way!" Ichigo charged at the beast ready to swing Zangetsu.
"Ichigo, Nami!" Ichigo stopped charging at the behemoth as he heard a familiar voice.
"L-Luffy?" said Nami, in confusion.
"We're up here!" This time it was Natsu's voice that spoke.
"Up where?* Ichigo's eyes widened as he saw Natsu, Luffy, and Ryo riding on the behemoth's back. "WHAT THE HELL!"
Nami sighed. "Why am I not surprised."
"Check it out! We're riding on a behemoth!" smiled Ryo. "Isn't that awesome!"
"H-how?" Ichigo manage to say. Seeing three of his friends riding, from what he heard just seconds ago, a beast with destructive power was a bit shocking to him.
"Well, we fought it, and kicked its ass." explained Luffy. Luffy smiled. "Then we became friends."
"It couldn't be that simple!" yelled Ichigo, and Nami.
"Well, that's what happen." answered Natsu, as the trio jumped off the behemoth.
"You really helped us out, and saved us a lot of time." said Ryo, rubbing the behemoth's mane.
"Get some rest." said Luffy. "Once all this is over, you can come with us. The behemoth lay down to rest, and closed its eyes to get some rest
"Incredible." said Millie, in a low voice. "They actually tame a behemoth"
"I didn't think it was possible." said Jennie, in awe.
"They're so cool!" said Ronya, looking at Natsu, Luffy, and Ryo in awe.
"You can't bring that beast with us!" argued Nami.
"Why not?" frowned Luffy.
"You actually think the queen will allow a behemoth to stay in the castle?" question Ichigo.
"Of course the queen will be fine with it." replied Ryo. "She loves pets."
"I don't think a beast like this can be consider a pet." sighed Nami. "Anyway, have you seen Yuri, and Hinata.
"Nope." answered Natsu.
"Damn." cursed Ichigo. "They might still be in the base."
"Nope, they've already left the base." answered Natsu, and Ryo.
"Wait, how do you two know " asked Ichigo.
"Well, I can sense mana, and Yuri's mana is not in the base. explained Ryo.
"And I have enhanced smelling" said Natsu. "Both Yuri, and Hinata's scent have been gone for awhile."
"Forgot you had that." commented Nami.
"Well, as long they are safe, that's all that matters." sighed Ichigo.
"By the way." said Luffy. "I've been meaning to ask." Luffy pointed at Millie, and his family. "Who are they?"
"Oh, they're a family that got captured by Sphinx Crusade 12 years ago." replied Ichigo.
Ryo looked shock. "Seriously?"
Ichigo nodded. "I was thinking of getting them to the Hidden Leaf Village real quickly. If they stay with us any longer, they'll be in danger."
"That's true." nodded Ryo.
"Oh yeah, I wanted to ask you three something." said Nami, looking at Natsu, Luffy, and Ryo. "Did you ever find the jinchūriki?"
"No luck." frowned Natsu. "Apparently, they haven't found him, or her yet."
"Well, in a way, that's good for us." said Ichigo. "Anyway, we'll be on our way to the Hidden Leaf Village. We'll be back soon."
Ryo nodded. "I understand. We'll continue searching for the jinchūriki."
Ichigo nodded, and looked over to Nami. "Let's go." Nami nodded, and followed Ichigo along with Millie, and his family.
"We should get going as well." Natsu, Luffy, and Ryo nodded to each other, and went to start their search for the jinchūriki.
To Yuri, and Hinata
True to Natsu, and Ryo words, Yuri, and Hinata had already exited the base. Yuri, and Hinata have been following a group of Sphinx Crusade soldiers, led by Mizuki himself. Both have been keeping their distance away from the group so they won't be spotted.
"This is weird." said Yuri.
Hinata nodded in agreement. "Why is he heading towards Konoha?"
"You said just a year ago he escape from Konoha's prison, correct?" asked Yuri. Hinata nodded. "What was he charged for?"
"It happen 2, and half years ago, it was graduation day for academy students. said Hinata. Everyone, but Naruto, had passed. This surprised Yuri. Naruto had failed? Hinata continued. "Mizuki had used Naruto into thinking that he could still pass by stealing the Scroll of Sealing."
"Scroll of Sealing?" repeated Yuri, in confusion.
"Yes." nodded Hinata. "From what I was told, it's apparently a scroll full of dangerous, and forbidden jutsu, so the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, had sealed it away.
"Okay." nodded Yuri, as they continue to follow Mizuki, and his group. "So what happen, I can tell Mizuki got caught somehow, and Naruto became a ninja, right?"
Hinata nodded. "Yes, Lady Tsunade, was very vague about the details, but apparently our Academy instructor came, and tried to save Naruto, but failed to defeat Mizuki. But, Naruto came and rescued Iruka-sensei. By learning the Shadow Clone Jutsu, he was able to beat Mizuki."
"Shadow Clone Jutsu, huh?" repeated Yuri, with a small smirk. "A genin learning a jounin level jutsu. Not bad, Naruto."
"I was so glad Naruto was able to pass." Hinata had a little blush on her face. "I was worried he wouldn't be able to reach his dream of becoming Hokage."
Yuri let a small smirk go across his face once he saw Hinata's small blush. "You can think of your boyfriend later. Right now we need to take care of Mizuki." teased Yuri.
"B-b-boyfriend." stuttered Hinata, as her whole face went red.
Yuri started to laugh. "I'm just kidding Hinata." Hinata looked down in embarrassment as Yuri laughed died down.
"So, base from what you're telling me." said Yuri, getting serious. "Mizuki is probably thinking of getting revenge on the Hidden Leaf Village for throwing him in prison. Hinata nodded in agreement. "Though, he's a fool, if he thinks he can actually win against the whole village."
"You think he has a plan?" asked Hinata.
"If he does." said Yuri. "I doubt it will work. He's going up against an entire ninja village."
"You think Sphinx Crusade told him to go the village?" asked Hinata.
Yuri shook his head. "No, I doubt they would start an invasion, especially with their leader still recovering."
"So, the only explanation is, Mizuki is doing this behind Sphinx Crusade's back."
Yuri nodded. "Seems like it. For now, we'll continue keep following him to see if he has other motives." Hinata nodded as they continue to follow Mizuki, and his small army of soldiers.
To Ichigo, and Nami
"We're going to drop you off at the Konoha." explained Ichigo. "Once we do try to find the Hokage, and tell her we drop you off."
Millie nodded. "I understand. Young man, you have no idea how grateful we are to you, and Nami."
"We thought we would be enslaved in that place for the rest of our lives." said Jennie. "But, I'm glad we held on to hope even if it was only a little."
Soka frowned. "There is no way we are escaping that easy. Sphinx Crusade had us lock down there for the past 12 years with no way to escape." Soka glared at Ichigo, and Nami. "Yet, two kids showed up, along with their friends, and manage to get us out with no difficulties? I don't buy it."
"Well, what do we have here." Everybody stopped running, and looked up. "We have an interesting group here, Itachi." Standing on the tree branches above them were Itachi, and Kisame.
"Who are you, and tell us what you want!" demanded Ichigo as he pulled out Zangetsu.
"Everyone, stand behind me!" exclaimed Nami, as Millie, and his family his behind Nami.
"Who are these two?" though Soka, in fear. "They don't look like Crusade soldiers."
Itachi, and Kisame jumped down from the branches. "Say, Itachi, isn't the boy, and girl fit Zetsu description of the people looking for the Hidden Waterfall's jinchūriki?"
Itachi nodded. "That is correct. They do fit the description quite well."
"Well, this gets me pretty excited" Kisame took out his wrapped blade, pointing it at Ichigo.
"How do they know we were looking for the jinchūriki?" thought Ichigo, as he glared at the two. "Who are they, and what are they after?"
Kisame smirked. "Alright kid, let's see what you're made of."
To Natsu, Luffy, and Ryo
"Hey, guys." whined Luffy. "I'm seriously getting hungry here." Luffy's stomach growled as he started to rub it. "Can't we stop, and get something eat."
"Luffy." sighed Ryo. "You whining about food is not going to make your stomach better, in fact." Ryo's stomach started to growl as well. "It's making us hungry as well!"
"Ryo, let me eat some of your fire!" whines Natsu.
"No way." replied Ryo. "If we're starving, your starving with us!"
"Agreed!" nodded Luffy, in agreement
"HOW IS THAT FAIR!" complained Natsu.
"LOOK OUT BELOW!" called out a voice.
"What the?" Natsu, Luffy, and Ryo looked up to see clay in shape of a small bird diving towards them. The trio eyes widen as the small bird exploded into flames. Up in a tree branch were two male wearing the same cloak Itachi, and Kisame are wearing. One with blonde hair, and the other with black spiky hair with a orange spiral mask. The one with the blonde hair is known as Deidara, and next to him is his partner Tobi.
"Well, it seems those three weren't ready for my kind of art." said Deidara. "They didn't know what hit them.
"I know right!" exclaimed Tobi. "I even warned them, and all they did is look dumbfounded. Do you think their dead?"
"Well, I wouldn't be surprise as they took-" Deidara stopped talking as he heard a sucking noise. "Hey, Tobi, you hear that?"
"Hear what?" asked Tobi. "The birds? The bees? The bugs? The fire from the explosion being sucked in by the pink hair male we just blew up?"
"Would you sh-, wait what!" Deidara looked down once more to see Natsu eating the flames from the explosion leaving himself, Luffy, and Ryo unharmed.
"THEY'RE ALIVE, DEIDARA!" exclaimed Tobi as he started to freak out. "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO! WE WERE SURE THAT WOULD TAKE THEM WITH ONE HIT!"
"Would you shut up Tobi!" exclaimed Deidara. "What kind of just allows someone to eat fire! I've never heard or seen a jutsu like that before!"
"Thanks for the meal!" smirked Natsu as he ate the last of the fire from the explosion. "I'm all fired up now!"
"What just happened was awesome!" said Luffy, unfazed by the explosion.
"Well, that just happen." commented Ryo, also unfazed by the explosion. Ryo looked up at Deidara, and Tobi. "Hey, you two should be careful! That could of killed of someone!"
"IT WAS SUPPOSE TO KILL THE THREE OF YOU!" shouted Deidara.
"Really?" questioned Luffy. "What we ever do to you two."
"He does got a point." agreed Tobi. "I mean, they never did anything to make us want to kill them."
"They're the enemy, Tobi." sighed Deidara, in annoyance.
"Oh yeah!" exclaimed Tobi.
"I'm surrounded by morons." thought Deidara.
"So, any idea on who those two are?" question Ryo, as he unsheathe his sword.
"Beats me." answered Luffy, as he cracked his knuckles.
"But, if they're looking for a fight." smirked Natsu, as fire started to engulf his fist. "Who are to ignore them!"
"Uh, Deidara, they're looking really scary right now." said Tobi, hiding behind Deidara.
Deidara smirked. "Okay, maybe their not that idiotic after all. This should be fun."

While two fights with dealing Akatsuki are starting, a team of four are also joining the fight, but not for the jinchūriki. They have another agenda in mind.
"So, this where people saw members of the Akatsuki heading towards?" question a young male with black spiky hair, with black eyes.
"Yep, this the place." smirked a young male with short white hair. This is Suigetsu Hozuki.
"I sense very strong chakra around this area." said a young female with long red hair. This is Karin. "The Akatsuki are most likely to be around here."
"Even the animals tell me people in black cloaks with red clouds roam around this area." said a young male with orange spiky hair, with red-orange eyes. This is Jugo.
"Good." said the black hair male. "Remember, Team Hebi objective is to locate Itachi Uchiha." This young male is Sasuke Uchiha, former Hidden Leaf Ninja, and ex-teammate of Naruto, and Sakura from Team 7. "Itachi, the time has come."
