Alrighty guys.. First, I don't own Naruto. Second, I have no current computer. Chapters will be written during school when I can, and that is why there have been no chapters recently. However, I am going to TRY to write the rest of this story. It'll be finished one day, but no guarantee's when.

"Heavenly Burst!" Kiko cried as his entire body flexed and began slightly twitching, all of his muscles growing slightly and a red sheen taking over his skin, not too unlike opening a few too many gates.

What the hell is this? His energy is falling… But it's growing? This is insane! Was Naruto's only thought before he realized Kiko was fast enough that he truly needed the Sharingan now. Ducking, bobbing and weaving kept him safe, and he formed a rasengan before slamming it into Kiko's stomach, and it… Dissapated? Kiko laughed triumphantly as he screamed, somewhat in pain"Heavenly conversion, times 3!" His body swelled, and he began beating down on Naruto, slamming him into the ground and giving a knee to Naruto's gut as his body bounced off of the ground, before Naruto uttered a growl and a large mass of chakra began erupting from his body. Kiko backed away, and Naruto simply looked up, his Mangekyou sharingan spinning wildly and his other eye pitch black.

"Darkness style: Annihilation Amaterasu!" the flames that erupted from his eyes were completely cold, and had an odd sheen of silver seeping out of them. Kiko jumped away, firing a suiton mizurappa at it, and the flames simply grew stronger. Kiko's eyes widened in fear, and he began sprinting towards Naruto in a mad attempt to stop them at the source. Just as he reached to stab Naruto's eye, Naruto let out a smirk and jumped. The flames Naruto had behind him engulfed Kiko's body, and then he imploded. The entire section of the bridge they had been on disappeared, and small particles of debris fell to the water as Naruto walked away. Kakashi looked on in wonder, unsure as to how Naruto had replicated the Tsuchikage's abilities in his own technique, but got back to fighting when he realized he nearly lost his head in the last swing of Kubikirihouchou.

*x*

"Earth style, Erupting mountain!" Nako screamed in fury at his inability to touch Neji, and something began rising out of the water. Neji grinned as he realized Nako needed to keep the handseal for the technique, and opened the first two gates, taking out his opponent in a quick chop to the neck, actually rupturing through it and decapitating him in the process.

Collapsing, Neji muttered to himself "I'd forgotten how much more of a toll that took on my body… Damnit, now I'm useless! I won't be any help to the fight at all… Hinata-sama.." He began whispering as everyone felt his chakra levels rapidly dropping, before settling at a very low level, "I failed again.."

He could do nothing but watch as Hinata had occasional cuts flying across her arms as she attempted to get in close and stop Haku with a rasengan.

*x*

"Now.. Hinata. I want you to know, if push comes to shove and you are unable to defeat your opponents.. There are two things you may do to grant an edge."

"Huh? I know I can take my weights off, but two things? I'm confused.."

Naruto smiled and turned to face her." Yes, that is one of the two things you may do. But there is another. I trust you know Maito Gai, the Taijutsu specialist Jonin? Well, many Taijutsu specialists know of this, but it can be applied to any type of Ninja. There are 8 gates of chakra in the human body, as you know."

"Yes… I know.. But they aren't naturally wide open. They limit the flow of chakra in order to keep your body from being unintentionally damaged, right?" She looked confident in her answer, but as if she thought something might be missing.

"Yes. That's right. But you can also force them open. Hinata, I am going to teach you to open the first gate. The gate located in the mind. Doing this, with your chakra control you could last five minutes with that gate open before the side-affects take hold. In a battle of Shinobi.. Five minutes of an edge is a godsend. Now, all you have to do is…"

Hinata remembered this as she fought Haku, receiving far more wounds than she was dishing out. She could damage Haku, but Haku was constantly using this Ice armor, preventing her from truly hurting her, and allowing any taijutsu besides chakra coated out of the question. The only way would be using that rasengan, but she couldn't without perfect contact or it could kill her. She made her decision, and screamed "FIRST GATE, GATE OF LIMIT, OPEN!" Haku looked confused, while Hinata simply disappeared. Her Byakugan flashing a myriad of colors, she slammed a rasengan into Haku's chest mercilessly and screamed, "Rasengan, Spike!" An entire literal spike of chakra shot out from the rasengan as every area not aimed at Hinata had spikes of different sizes and shapes shooting out, one large one running haku through and destroying her heart. Hinata spoke in a remorseful tone" You should've killed your heart faster.. Then maybe I wouldn't have had to help." Letting the spikes and rasengan disappate, she backed away and took a knee, relaxing from the exhaustion and chakra slowly swirled around her, a light blue, almost silver, slowly finding its way into her body.

Understanding the need for a name of what she had just realized, she only smiled grimly and began to ponder on what she would call her new byakugan, as it had certainly changed from what she had before. She could now see chakra as it swirled through the air, and she was absorbing miniscule amounts slowly building her reserves as she relaxed. She exhaled, looking to the sky with a sigh and stating, "This is going to take forever to name Kaa-chan.. Maybe you know what I can call it?" She finally closed her eyes and passed out, chakra exhaustion taking hold, while Neji from afar smiled and muttered" She did it.." Before passing out himself.

*x*

Zabuza smiled, noticing Kakashi's exhaustion, as Zabuza had simply takin two soldier pills before stabilizing the mist jutsu, to nullify the drain on his chakra for quite a while. He would outlast the copycat ninja, no matter what. He then stepped outside the mist, for a look at his companions battles. What he saw made his stomach turn. Kiko was gone, not a trace of him left. Nako was dead, decapitated roughly, as if by a dull weapon.. And Haku.. Haku had a hole through both his heart and one of his lungs. His comrades… His FAMILY was DEAD! He cried out in a rage, and as he ran to the nearest battle site, Haku's battle sight, Kakashi began chasing him. Zabuza hefted his sword up and Kakashi dived to pull hinata out of the way, his leg being shattered by the flat side of the blade.

Zabuza then grimly smirked, and spoke to Kakashi. "You are a fool. Now you can't protect your other students, and I'm completely healthy. None of these pipsqueaks can stop me, and neither can you! I'm going to kill each and every one of you, starting with that girl you just saved, RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES BEFORE I KILL YOU!" Then, he froze as a massive chill went down his spine. Is… Is… this fear? Is this what my.. my victims felt?

He was allowed no more time to contemplate as Naruto simply appeared before him, Rage in his eyes and both slowly becoming darker as his veins all across his body began swelling, occasionally bloody seeping out of his arms, as he slowly raised his hand. He seemed to not even be conscious, until he spoke with a dark, empowered voice, "I'm going to kill you. You will never lay a single hand on my Hinata." Then, he closed his hand, as did the chakra claw that had rose up behind Zabuza. It crushed his body whole, blood splattering all across Naruto's front and face, some landing on the sides of him but not a drop touching Kakashi or Hinata. He closed his eyes, turning, and when he opened them they were his normal sharingan and blue eye. He tried to speak, but fell, his eyes closing and his body landing heavily on the bridge.

*x*

Narut….Naruto just killed him! He.. He killed Zabuza! Sasuke was in shock, the blood everywhere.. It scared him, as he wondered what Naruto was really capable of… Then, he realized there could still be enemies. He felt chakra signatures coming in from the east, hundreds, most relatively small but that didn't mean anything in the world of ninja. He felt Inari, and several dozen other coming from the west, and decided to simply go tend to the wounds he could. He splinted Kakashi's leg in silence, force feeding Naruto a blood replenishing pill and a soldier pill, feeding Hinata and Neji one as well.

"They.. They killed Zabuza?!" Gato screamed as his soldiers and he came in from the east. Sasuke gained a dark look and quickly activated a sharingan, hoping that he would not be forced to kill today. Luck would help him, as it was Inari and the townsfolk showed on the other side of the bridge, from the west.

"If you don't leave now, we will kill every one of you pricks!" Inari yelled as he fired an arrow and it hit Gato in the shoulder. The business man fell into the river, only for a large dark blot to dart beneath him and some blood to seep up to the top of the water, and the mercenaries actually ran. All of them took off, realizing that no Gato meant no money, and it was a pointless risk. Inari and the townsfolk cheered, before going down to help carry the shinobi back to the village and let them rest. Sasuke picked up Neji, carrying him as some villagers grabbed the others.

As they began the long walk back, Naruto awoke and could only wonder, Where in the hell did I get that power?

*x*
