Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…but if I did…MWUAHAHAHAHA!…eh-hem, let's just say that it would be majorly fucked up! Like this story! LOL

BTW: I know no Japanese except for a few words, so when I tell fights I'll use English, with the exception of the ones that I do know or find out online. (please be kind when I use them, because I might spell them wrong.) And Kumo means cloud. (Kumogakure hidden village of Cloud.)

BTW 2: I have no clue as to where they villages are really located…so please don't start yelling at me. I'm just winging it. Besides…it's my story bi-atch! Get over it! Nyah! (sticks out tongue). HA! So there.

Pairings: It will be an OC.


Last time:

The wall started to slide a bit. Naruto, going on instinct, pushed the wall to open it further. It was a small hallway that led to a lighted room. 'It seems that my luck is changing.' he thought with a small smile.

--

Cal grabbed the handle of the door and opened it. Inside was a room filled with scrolls upon scrolls upon scrolls. And inside this room, was a person hidden in shadow. They slowly edged forward, preparing for a fight, when the person suddenly turned around to face them. They both stopped in their tracks when they saw who it was.

--

"I don't want to have to fight you, but I will if I have to." Suddenly Satoshi's eyes changed.


The man in front of Satoshi was laughing. "You don't want to fight me, boy. I may not be in my prime any more, but there are others who are. Why don't you just give up and leave. I'll even give you safe passage out of here. Do we have a deal?" For the entire speech, Satoshi had kept his head down, eyes shadowed.

Satoshi finally looked up at the man in front of him. His eyes had definitely changed and it caused a gasp from the older gentleman in front of him. Satoshi's eyes had changed into a bright candy apple red. The only thing piercing that endless red was a small, almost unnoticeable black dot in the very middle.

"And here I thought that that bloodline was killed off. Guess I was wrong. Well, I take this as a compliment." With that said, the man twitched a finger. Suddenly the lackeys appeared. Each had a giant grin plastered on their face. None knew of what the older man was talking about and, quite frankly, they didn't care.

Satoshi smirked. "Well this oughtta be fun." And with that he slipped into his trademark stance.


It was a familiar blond. "Naruto!" They rushed forward to greet him. "Where were you? What happened?"

After a few minutes of exchanging stories, the trio tried to decide on what to do next.

"I think we should try to find Sensei. We would be better off with him than by ourselves. We don't really know what's going on and we have no idea what kind of people are here." The two boys were yet again stunned by her intellect.

"Ok. Let's go with that. But, where do we start looking? Ren?" Naruto turned toward the brunette. He was the last one to see Satoshi, so he was the logical choice.

"Well. We split up to find information and I haven't seen him since. So…shouldn't we go the same way he went?"

The others nodded.

"But what about all of these scrolls? Couldn't one of them be the scroll we're looking for?" Calera wasn't too sure that the scroll wouldn't be in a room full of scrolls. It would be hard to look for and it would be in the open. The last place anyone would look for it.

"I don't think so. The lead guy would want to keep something as important as that close by." Naruto stated this with a look of absolute certainty. "I definitely think he has it on him."

"I agree." Calera said this with a nod of approval. "We should go find Satoshi and then go from there. Agreed?"

The trio looked at each other. "Agreed."


Both sides were waiting to strike. All they needed was the signal. A drop of sweat was starting to fall off of one man's face. It finally fell like it was in slow motion. SPLASH! As soon as it hit the floor, the fighting began.

More than thirty men against one man. The odds wouldn't be considered fair, but in this case…it was more than fair. For, you see, Satoshi has a trump card that no one can beat. That would be why he's one of the top Jounin in Kumo.

Before anyone could register what happened, the first eight men to rush in were instantly lifeless heaps on the ground. But, the others paid no attention and kept going for him. Some were waiting and watching while the other, less trained and informed, men ran straight into the fray.

Satoshi just kept moving from one body to the next. They were no longer humans, they were just bodies. His movements were smooth and flawless, like a dance. Like magic, two smallish swords appeared in his hands. Blood flew around him in delicate circles and waves. Soon, only eleven were left. They were trained ninja. Not skilled, but trained. Though, they were enough in number to do some damage and he didn't know all of their individual skill levels.

He waited. Soon, he was rewarded as the ninja ran at him. They dropped dead as soon as they took off. He noticed that the old man was disappearing behind a shelf. He ran to catch up, but was stopped by a lance. He back flipped out of the way and had to dodge to the left when the tip came down where his head would have been.

The figure holding the lance was originally cloaked in shadows, but was coming into the light with each and every step he took. Satoshi immediately recognized the man.

"Hello, Ganta. Never expected to see you here." A hollow laugh was heard from the figure now known as Ganta.

"Well isn't this a surprise. I thought this would just be an easy job. Well…this just makes it more interesting!" With that, Ganta slowly emerged from the shadows.

"I didn't think that I would see you here either." He smirked at the man in front of him. Ganta was fairly tall. His jet-black hair glimmered in the light and went down to his just below his shoulders. His cold grey eyes glinted ominously when he looked at Satoshi. "It seems that the only thing that's changed about you is the outfit. Eh, Ganta?"

Ganta just laughed. "It would seem the same could be said about you. Only…you're wrong about me. My skills have greatly improved." With a flourish, the lance struck out at Satoshi with lightning speed. Satoshi casually leaned to the right. The lance hit the wall with a loud bang and sent spider web cracks throughout it.

"And here I thought you said that your skills improved." Satoshi clicked his tongue at him. "You're such a liar."

They suddenly flew apart. All that was seen were blurs and brief flashes of metal. After a few tense minutes, they were in the exact same spots as before. Each had a few scratches here or there on them.

"So I see that you already had your bloodline activated, eh? Why so eager to give away a trump card, Satoshi? Getting a little slow in your old age?" Ganta prepared himself for the next rush of fighting.

Satoshi laughed and prepared himself as well. "Nah. I just wanted to get this mission over with. It's quite annoying and I'm looking forward to a few relaxing days of D missions after this." He silently raised his blades. "Now how about a friendly little wager? I'll wager my blades against your lance. If I die, you get them. If you die, I get your lance." That took Ganta by surprise. His eyes widened slightly at that.

"Well, Satoshi, that doesn't seem too fair. My lance is quite an exceptional beauty and you know exactly what it's capable of doing. The question is if those blades of yours are as important as my lance." Ganta lithely prepared his lance for battle.

"Well, my friend, the answer is yes. These blades were from the very first Kage of my village. They are worth more than you would ever imagine. Now, since I already have my eyes activated, why don't you activate that weapon of yours? Otherwise, this would be so boring. Besides, I'd like to at least give you some chance of survival." Satoshi's eyes seemed to glow in the shadowed light.

"Very well. Besides, I grow weary of this talking. Now we shall fight. No interruptions." Ganta slowly started to meld his chakra into the lance. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the lance began to change.

The lance started to lengthen by a few meters. The blade on top began to lengthen as well and sharpen. Instead of looking traditional, the blade started to look like a spade with the bottom turning down into hooks that would rip flesh off easily. The actual staff part of the lance began to have designs forming on it. The designs looked like waves crashing. Finally, the bottom of the lance started to have a tiny blade emerge into being. It was navy blue in color. The top blade was the color of mercury. The staff part of the lance was the color of white gold with the waves colored a sky blue.

Satoshi gave a slight nod in appreciation for the magnificent weapon.

They prepared themselves and waited for some unknown signal to begin the fight.

Suddenly, they flew at each other.


Naruto, Calera, and Renji were flying through the hallways trying to find some hint as to where their sensei disappeared. The tunnels seemed endless and they were losing steam.

"Where the hell could he be?! He has to be somewhere in this ginormous place." Renji was running beside Calera and Naruto was bringing up the rear.

They were all pretty tired and annoyed by the whole thing. Calera was too tired to even tell Ren that "ginormous" was not a word.

After a few more minutes, they reached the end of the hallway.

"What the HELL is this about?!"

"Calm down, Ren. We just have to go all the way back and look again." Even to her ears that sounded false.

They lapsed into a momentary silence. That's when they heard it. There was some noise coming through the wall that blocked their way.

"It's another genjutsu." Naruto stared at the wall for a few minutes. "I wonder what's happening behind it."

"Then let's find out." Ren suddenly punched the wall and focused his chakra to into the impact.

The wall crumbled to reveal a door. The sound of fighting was very loud. Screams could be heard along with squishing sounds of bodies being torn apart. They didn't dare move in case someone had heard them. After a few more seconds, the sounds disappeared to nothing. All that was heard were people talking.

"I think it's okay to go in if we're very careful about it." Calera addressed the two boys, mainly Renji because he was known to be brash about things, just to make sure they didn't do anything stupid.

They all nodded in agreement. Slowly, they made their way through the door. They were hidden in the shadows, just to make sure.

They were greeted with the sight of Satoshi with a lance through his stomach, lying on the floor. It wasn't an easy death because the lance was in the exact spot where one would bleed to death, or die slowly because the acid from the stomach would slowly eat away at the important body parts.

They tried to stifle a gasp when they saw their Sensei's eyes. The key word is "tried."

They finally saw another in the room when it started coming towards their hiding spot.

It started laughing. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? A few children. Would you like to hear a song? It's one of my favorites from when I was a small child. You would, wouldn't you?" The man slowly slipped into the shadows with the use of a jutsu.

All was quiet for a few moments. Suddenly his voice was everywhere at once. Circling them. He started singing.

"Ring around the rosies. Pockets full of posies. Ashes. Ashes. They all fall down."

With that last line, a fireball was suddenly coming at them. They barely had time to dodge.

They were a little singed and they were all in separate corners of the room.

"Have you all come to pay your last respects to your dead sensei? How touching."

Suddenly, there were three of the men now. "Well. I suppose it's time for you to join him. Don't want to split up the team, do we?"
