Chapter 8 Part 5: A Clash of Fangs
(This chapter will start with the fight that was happening while Yamato was battling Masaki.)
Kiba smirked and said, "Let's see if you have what it takes to be a worthy foe of mine." He shouted, "Now, Akamaru!" Akamaru regained his footing after hearing his master's words and threw off Kurami from his back. Kurami quickly regained her footing and ran back to her master's side and waited for a command. Being impatient, Kiba activated the Human Beast clone technique and turned Akamaru into a clone of Kiba. Then the duo used Fang over Fang and headed straight for Kurami and Katsumi. The female kunoichi also used the Human beast clone technique and made Kurami into a clone of herself.
Just before Fang over Fang reached them, the female duo activated Swirling Vortex- a jutsu that is similar to Fang over Fang except it is like a tornado. The defensive jutsu countered Kiba and Akamaru's attack, and they withdrew to reformulate their next attack. Kiba said, "Let's kick it up a notch, boy." Akamaru barked in agreement. They used Human Beast Combination Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf. Kiba and Akamaru transformed into a large snarling, white wolf with two heads, sharp claws and large teeth. They used Super Fang over Fang against the Swirling Vortex. It did not even break through an inch. In the beastial form, Kiba thought: Damn! I thought for sure that Super Fang over Fang would do it!. The white two headed wolf retreated 25 feet away from the female duo who had ended their defensive jutsu. It was their time to counterattack.
Kurami let out a blood chilling howl of a wolf. The action summoned a pack of ten grey wolves to the fight. Katsumi said, "I'll let Kurami have her fun with you first." With that said, Kurami and the wolves ran and quickly encircled the massive white two headed wolf. The grey wolves lunged at their target only to be swiped away by its massive claws. Nine wolves disappeared in puffs of smoke in a second. The last one charged head on and found itself in the white wolf's jaws. It quickly disappeared as well. Kiba and Akamaru deactivated their jutsu in order to conserve their chakra. Kiba told Akamaru, "Boy, I need you to lead Kurami away while I deal with the kunoichi." Akamaru did what he was told, taunting Kurami until she eventually gave chase after him. Kiba did not know that he was working right into Katsumi's plan.
Both Kiba and Katsumi use the Four-legged technique and lunge at each other in a rapid exchange of blows. Katsumi is faster than Kiba and manages to tear his jacket open as well as deliver a hard kick that sends him to the ground. After being knocked down, Kiba gets back up and says: "I'm not ready to give up yet. Round 2 starts now." He draws his kunai from its holster.
Katsumi draws her own weapon: a chakram, which is a metal circle with a very sharp edge. She throws it at Kiba who easily dodges it. He smirks and says, "Missed me." Katsumi replied, "I wasn't aiming for you." The chakram ricochets off the rock behind Kiba and knocks the kunai right out of his hand. Kiba holds his right hand in pain as he realizes that the chakram had cut him as well as disarm him.
Meanwhile, Akamaru and Kurami were engaged in a furious battle of claws and teeth. Each nin-dog was trying to gain the advantage over the other. Akamaru heard Kiba cry out in pain and it distracted him for a second. Kurami took advantage of the opportunity and sneaked behind the white ninken. She then lunged at him and bit down on his right shoulder. Akamaru yelps in pain from the attack. Kiba hears Akamaru's cry and it distracts him as well. Katsumi then activates her special jutsu: Pheromone Paralysis Genjutsu.
She releases her chakra in the form of pheromones that will be picked up by Kiba. Being part animal, he smells Katsumi's intoxicating scent and then realizes that he can't move. Akamaru looks on helplessly because Kurami has an iron jaw grip on his wound and won't let go.
Katsumi walks around Kiba and gently caresses his immobile body. She whispers in his ear, "This jutsu of mine has helped in the past with recruiting members for Master Matsuda. It uses pheromones to keep the target immobile while I seduce them with my feminine charms. Sadly, it only works on men." Katsumi puts his lips close to Kiba and whispers: "I think I'll take you with me, handsome." A sudden yelp of surprise from Kurami distracts Katsumi from Kiba.
Capt. Yamato had caught Kurami in his wooden arm extension. Before Katsumi could react, Yamato activated the Four Pillars Wood Prison to capture her. Once Katsumi was inside the chakra-coated prison, the genjutsu wore off and Kiba was free.
