Hey guys, Murayama Tsuru here. And I come bearing the next chapter. Well…that's all I have to say at the moment, so I hope you enjoy ^_^

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto; it's the property of Kishimoto Masashi-Sensei. I also don't own Jelly Jiggler; he's the property of Sawai Yoshio.

Kouryu watched at Naruto trained with Jell…er, I mean Tokoroten'nosuke. Naruto seemed to be getting the hang of fighting in the dream world, and Kouryu was thinking of who she should summon the next night they did this. But then the dragon interrupted her thoughts with, "Kouryu, I sense danger approaching."

And that's when Kouryu saw the shield of fog. She hadn't noticed it before because she could see Naruto clearly, but now she couldn't see anything. That clearly meant trouble. But before she could try anything, a voice froze her where she stood, "Ah, so you're the one who brought the nine-tails here. Thank you for playing into our hands."

Naruto was beginning to feel disappointed. He had expected a fight with the white Zetsu, but instead he was watching what looked to be a game of tag. For some reason Jelly Jiggler was a source of great amusement for the plant-like thing; it wanted to know what the Jelly man was, so it decided to investigate.

But of course, Jelly Jiggler did not want to be investigated, so he started running away. And so it went on, the two ignoring Naruto completely. Naruto wasn't quite sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. He really wished Kouryu would come back.

And then, Jelly Jiggler started running toward Naruto, tears streaming comically down his face, "Naruto-kun, save me! This plant says he's going to eat me! Now I don't usually mind when people want to try my magnificent flavor, but this guy is scary! So save me!"

Naruto sighed, why couldn't the Tokoroten man have done this earlier? If he had, Naruto probably could have gotten them out of this situation a lot sooner, then they could see what happened to Kouryu. Naruto nodded and Jelly Jiggler immediately ran behind Naruto, using his as a shield.

So then, as he white Zetsu was heading toward Naruto to get to Jelly Jiggler, Naruto put his hands in that oh-so-familiar cross shape and shouted, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" and multiple Narutos appeared.

The White Zetsu sighed long-sufferingly, "Damn, this means I actually have to do my job. Why couldn't you have let me play with the jelly creature a little more?"

"No, I got bored watching you two. I wasn't included in your game of chase, so I'm not letting you continue."

"Tch, have it your way. I'm just stalling for time anyway."

"What are you talking about?" Naruto growled, he didn't have a good feeling about what the White Zetsu said

But it just shrugged in answer, "I'll only tell you if you beat me." And it started running at Naruto again, leaving no time for more words.

Kouryu turned around slowly, all but ignoring the warnings the dragon was giving her. When she saw who it was, she sighed, "Great, more trouble, just what I wanted. What do you want, Obito?"

Behind Kouryu stood a man with the equivalent of Naruto's hair, except black, half of his face contorted by wrinkles or scars (it was too hard to tell). The man snickered seeing Kouryu, "Me? I don't want much of anything except to destroy this unbearable world. It's Madara who's mad at you. So I've been sent to either kill or capture you so we can get on with the Tsuki no Me plan."

"Well I'm not going to let that happen."

"Of course you're not," Obito sighed, "that is why I'm here, after all. Madara wanted to be here himself, but unfortunately there are other things he has to do at the moment."

Kouryu gasped, a sudden realization coming to her, "You can't mean…Sasuke?"

Obito shrugged, "Who knows? I'm not always privy to that old man's plans. But what does that matter? As long as I can avenge Rin, I don't really care how Madara does things."

Kouryu glared at the rogue Uchiha, this really wasn't going well. She needed to get to Naruto fast, who knew what was happening to him on the other side of that wall. But first, she'd have to make the man in front of her disappear.

But before she could do anything, the dragon whispered, "Kouryu, switch with me."

"Why? I should be the one to deal with this."

"But, he's fought you before, not me. To keep him guessing, you should let me do this."

Kouryu thought about it for the few seconds she had before Obito decided to start the fight before she was ready. Then she nodded, and a cold wind started.

Naruto was exhausted, why wouldn't this damn plant just go away? Naruto had already been tired out from his training with Jelly Jiggler, he wasn't sure he had it in him to fight the white Zetsu for too much longer.

And then a familiar voice said in Naruto's head, "Naruto, you look tired Let me take over."

His eyes widened, "Kurama? Where have you been?"

The fox demon snorted, "That's what I should be asking you. I've been trying to get into contact with you for days. That girl broke our connection somehow. But now that you're here, it seems I can communicate with you again."

"Well, that's probably a good thing. I think she was trying to…"

"You can explain later. Right now, we have a fight to win." Kurama said, slightly impatient with his host. Naruto nodded and then felt the familiar surge of red Chakra flow into him.

Kurama then looked around and spotted Jelly Jiggler. He blinked through Naruto's eyes then walked over to the Jelly man, picked him up, and threw him at the White Zetsu.

As Jelly Jiggler flew, he looked back at Naruto once, with tears in his eyes and a betrayed look on his face. With a sniff, he said, hurt, "How could you Naruto-kun? After we trained together…?" and he smacked into the plant man.

Naruto sighed; he figured that his would have no effect. But somehow, the White Zetsu actually looked like he had been damaged by the Jelly man. Naruto raised an eyebrow and Kurama started explaining, "I can transfer some of my Chakra into another being temporarily. It looked like the Jelly thing was being useless so I decided to make him useful and throw him at the enemy. You may thank me now."

"Thanks…I guess…" Naruto mumbled as he walked over to Jelly Jiggler and the White Zetsu. When he got there, he extended a hand to Jelly, who took it gratefully, yet slightly hesitantly at the same time.

Naruto grinned as he pulled the Tokoroten man up, "Don't worry, I'm not going to throw you again. That's Kurama's style, not mine."

Somehow, Jelly Jiggler managed to relax visibly, even though he has no shoulders and is made out of jelly, when Naruto said that. Then the two looked down at Zetsu. For some reason Naruto could not fathom, Zetsu was now on the ground, a small trickle of blood seeping from the side of his mouth.

The plant man coughed, "I can't believe you had such a strong attack like that. But you're too late. I'm sure Obito has already subdued your friend."

"Naruto glared at the White Zetsu, "What the hell are you talking about?"

The White Zetsu laughed weakly then said, "I thought I told you, I only came here to stall you. By know Obito had already gotten to your friend." And then it disappeared, leaving not a trace of itself behind.

After about a minute, Jelly Jiggler asked, "What do you think that meant? Is Kouryu alright?"

Naruto shook his head, "I have no idea. But now that that's over, let's try getting out of this fog."

So the two went over to the wall and studied it. After a while, Naruto, feeling slightly sadistic, said, "Punch it, Jelly."

"What?" Jelly replied, sounding slightly scandalized, "Why should I do it? You're probably much stronger than me. Why don't you do it?"

"Because," Naruto fake sighed, "I'm still feeling drained from the battle with the White Zetsu. You just have to keep at it until I've regained enough Chakra."

Jelly didn't seem to be able to argue with Naruto. So he walked up to the wall and punched it…the wall stayed intact but the vibrations made Jelly wobble back a few steps.

Jelly Jiggler then walked back up to the wall, about to punch it again when Naruto snorted, "You actually did it…I'm sorry, I didn't think you were that gullible. Well, you don't have to punch it again. I have an idea."

Before Jelly Jiggler could give an indignant retort, Naruto created a clone and then created a Rasengan. Which he proceeded to slam against the wall. The effect was immediate, as the fog barrier cracked and shattered like glass.

And Naruto did not like what he saw as the barrier came down. There was Obito standing over a collapsed Kouryu, his Sharingan and Rinnegan glowing evilly.

And that is the end of this chapter (cue evil laughter). I've left ya'll hanging again! So I hope you can bare to wait until next week for the next chapter. Until then, please review if you'd like, I always love to know what you guys think. So, see you all next week, then.
