A few minutes of silence passed before Kyomi's eyes widened as he saw a long bubbly red arm reach out towards him. Kyomi jumped backwards and the bubbly clawed hand stuck its claws into the ground followed by another clawed hand. Soon Mac launched himself into the air and out of the dark abyss he was surrounded in the cloak of the nine tails with only a single tail. Mac landed on the ground on all fours a few feet away from Kyomi. "Before I tear you to shreds tell me one thing Kyomi" Mac exclaimed his blood red eyes were locked onto Kyomi. "What do you want to know?" Kyomi questioned. "Why did you betray The Hidden Waterfall? Why did you betray me?" Mac questioned. "The answer is simple really, me and you we were never really friends. I never saw you as the little brother I never had. To me you're just a rabid animal who's just begging to be put down. As for the village well I never really cared about anyone there, their lives are meaningless to me" Kyomi replied. Mac gritted his teeth as he heard Kyomi's words and a second tail sprouted forth as his anger began boiling. Kyomi laughed as he saw Mac grind his teeth together. "You actually thought we were friends didn't you, you actually thought i saw you as my brother. You orphans are all the same all of you want a family so bad that as soon as someone shows you a bit of kindness you don't dare question to question them. Well guess what Mac me and you were and will never be brothers. You're just a sniveling bastard who needs to be taught a lesson" Kyomi exclaimed.
"SHUT UP!" Mac shouted his anger was rising to a point where he was losing control and the third tail of the cloak sprouted. "Before I kill your worthless ass allow me to show you something exciting so you can tell mommy all about it once I rip your head off your shoulders and you join her in the afterlife" Kyomi replied and then shut his eyes. His skin began to change color and his dark black hair turned snow white. From his head sprouted to pure black horns that curled like that of a goats. When he opened his eyes his pupils were gone and his eyes were completely blue. The white yolk of his eyes were now black. His skin was now a dark shade of red. From his back sprouted to gray bat like wings. His finger nails turned dark black and his ears became pointy. "This is what a stage three curse mark looks like and now allow me to show you the power that the stage three curse mark grants me" Kyomi exclaimed revealing to Mac his now sharp black teeth. Mac charged towards Kyomi on all fours his anger had boiled to its limit. Mac launched the arm of the cloak towards of Kyomi who simply took ahold of it. Kyomi forced Mac up into the air and then slammed him back down onto the ground. Chunks of the ground flew up into the air from the impact. Kyomi flew up into the air and began preforming hand signs as he stared down at Mac who was picking himself up off the ground. "Inferno Style Magma Ball!" Mac jumped out of the way as the flaming inferno crashed into the ground causing it to melt beneath it. As the ball dug deeper into the ground it began to crackle and then it exploded in a flash of white light Mac shielded his eyes with his hands and then he felt something lift him off the ground. As the light dimmed Mac realized that Kyomi had taken ahold of him. Kyomi then flew downward and used Mac's body as a shield to crash into the ground. A large crater formed around the two from the sudden impact. Kyomi quickly retreated to the air but Mac wasn't prepared to let him go so he extended the arm of the nine tails cloak and took ahold of Kyomi.
Mac slammed Kyomi into a nearby mountain. Which came crumbling to the ground on top of Kyomi. Mac retracted his arm and waited for his opponent's next move. Which came quickly as Kyomi came dashing towards Mac with inhuman speed with a crackling red chidori. He connected the attack with Mac's chest and sent him spiraling into the forest. Mac felt the immense pain of several trees breaking in half on his back. Eventually he landed on the ground and rolled through the dirt a few times before coming to a stop. Kyomi flew towards Mac only to be grabbed and crushed in between the two bubbling red palms of the nine tails cloak. Kyomi was then hurdled through the air like a baseball. After spinning out of control for about a minute he regained control and again flew towards Mac. Who was charging towards him on all fours. The two beast met in mid air. The two of them rolled through the dirt a couple of times as they slashed away at each other. Kyomi focused chakra into the soles of his feet and sent Mac flying upwards. Mac locked his sight onto Kyomi as he landed on the ground. "I'm sure you're wondering how I was able to perform the chidori just a short while ago" Kyomi exclaimed. "Actually the only thing I'm thinking about now is how I should kill you" Mac replied. "Isn't that cute the orphan is holding a grudge anyways allow me to show you how I was able to copy your jutsu" Kyomi replied as his eyes reverted back to their normal green color. Mac watched in disbelief as Kyomi's eyes changed into those of the sharingan. Kyomi took advantage of Mac's shock and quickly dashed towards him. Mac jumped up and then formed two giant balled up fist and brought them down onto Kyomi with all of his strength. Mac landed on the ground a few feet away from Kyomi and watched as his opponent struggled to pick himself up off the ground. Kyomi balled up his fist and then vanished, he reappeared behind Mac and drove his foot into his spine. Mac was sent flying forward only to be met by Kyomi's fist once again. Mac was sent flying upward this time. Kyomi flew up after Mac and repeatedly forced his chakra infused fist into Mac's stomach this lasted for a while before Kyomi grabbed Mac by his throat and slammed him back into the ground. Kyomi flew upwards once again and began preforming hand signs once again. "Water Style Shark Bomb!" The water shark quickly formed next to Kyomi and then cut through the air as it made its way towards Mac.
Mac jumped up on to his feet and once again launched the fist of the cloak of the nine tails towards the shark bomb. The shark bomb exploded in the air as it collided with the red fist of the cloak. Kyomi quickly descended onto the ground and dashed towards Mac. Kyomi drove his fist into his opponent's stomach with all of his strength. Causing Mac to spit out blood, Kyomi continued to pound away at Mac's stomach. Forcing the young jinchuriki to back up. Kyomi was then sent flying backwards as he felt Mac crash a giant fist into his body. Kyomi rolled through the grass a few times until his body eventually hit a tree. The two of them once again dashed towards each other. They proceeded to beat the living hell out of each other with bone crunching blows. Kyomi took ahold of one of Mac's tails and tossed him up into the air. He followed up the attack by preforming hand signs once again. "Water Style Shark Bomb!" The shark quickly flew upwards towards Mac and with no way to counter it Mac was force to take the blast head on. The explosion sent his body higher into the air and then he dropped to the ground like a heavy weight. Kyomi watched as Mac struggled to pick himself up off the ground, the nine tails cloak was gone and all that remained was a helpless pathetic orphan. Kyomi dashed towards Mac and forced his fist into the boy's cheek. Mac fell down to the ground as his eyes reverted back to their natural blue color. "Look at you, you're a pathetic waste of space" Kyomi exclaimed as he grabbed Mac by his throat. He lifted the orphan up off the ground and tightened his grip on his throat. Mac gasped for breath but soon his eyes began shutting and he blacked out. Black fiery lines began to spread all over Mac's body. When his eyes opened again they were a strange shade of red almost as if they were fading. Kyomi stumbled back as Mac crashed his knee into his chin. Mac followed up the attack by quickly forming the chidori and forcing it into Kyomis stomach. Who was sent soaring a few feet back through the air. Mac balled up his fist and charged towards Kyomi who was quickly recovering from the last attack. Kyomi quickly grabbed Mac's fist and aimed his left fist towards Mac's face only to have it grabbed by Mac. The two locked eyes for a split second before their knees collided in a loud bang. As they tried to knee each other in the gut.
With no other way of attacking the two of them stood there tightening their grip on the other's fist. "So I see father gave you the curse mark as well" Kyomi exclaimed. "Father? Orochimaru is your dad?" Mac questioned with wide eyes. Kyomi didn't give Mac a real answer he simply smirked, and proceeded to take advantage of Mac's shock by letting go of his fist and quickly forcing his sandal into his stomach. Mac slid back a few feet before regaining balance. "Fire style fire ball jutsu!" The flaming ball spewed forth from Mac's mouth and crashed into Kyomi. Forcing his body to crash into the nearby trees which burned to a crisp. Kyomi managed to fly up into the air where he looked around frantically but there was no sign of that damn orphan anywhere. Suddenly his ears were filled with the sound of crackling lightning and he felt an immense pain in his back as Mac forced the chidori into his back. Kyomi was forced back down to the ground, a crater formed in the ground from the impact of having a body slammed into it. Mac did a few backflips to gain some distance from his opponent and then patiently waited for Kyomi to get up. Mac watched Kyomi as he struggled to stand up and then in the blink of an eye he vanished. Kyomi reappeared behind Mac and quickly forced his kunai into the young shinobi's back. He then proceeded to slash the knife upwards sending fresh warm blood up into the air. Kyomi then focused chakra into the soles of his feet and forced his sandal into the back of his opponent sending Mac crashing to the ground. Kyomi flew up into the air and began preforming hand signs. "This is it Mac it's time to end this once and for all. You can either counter this attack or lay there, and die like the rabid animal you are" Kyomi exclaimed as he continued to perform hand signs. Mac forced himself to stand up and locked eyes with his former best friend. He began preforming hand signs of his own. (Please nine tails lend me just a little bit of your power I swear this is the last time I'll ask you for your power) Mac thought to himself as he finished preforming his hand signs and clenched his right wrist with his left hand.
Kyomi opened up his palm and within it a black crackling orb of chakra began forming. Mac and Kyomi locked eyes for the last time as Kyomi flew towards Mac at an alarming rate. Mac ran a few feet forward before leaping into the air. As he and Kyomi got closer to each other the black fiery lines of the curse mark retracted and the cloak of the nine tails once again surrounded Mac. As the two blast met in a chakra power struggle. The cloak of the nine tails sprouted two more tails. This was it the end of the road Mac was surrounded in the cloak which contained three tails but he was still struggling to hold his own in the power struggle. Lightning began crackling throughout the sky and the sound of the booming thunder rang in their ears. Heavy rain began pouring down on them as they stared into each other's eyes. Kyomi forced more chakra into his attack in an attempt to overpower Mac. At the moment it seemed as though it was working and Kyomi began forcing both attacks onto Mac. (Please Nine tails just a little more) Mac thought to himself. His eyes turned completely red as his pupils disappeared and the skin on his face began peeling off. The fourth tail of the cloak began to take form. And Mac gazed upon his best friend one last time with his own eyes. (I'm sorry Kyomi) Mac thought to himself before he let the nine tails take over. Once the fourth tail completely sprouted. The two attacks became unstable and exploded in a huge flash of white light that destroyed any organic life nearby. Kyomi and Mac were both sent crashing to the ground in opposite directions. A dark orb completely encased Mac. He could feel his skin ripping off and he began screaming within the orb. His screams soon turned into a bone chilling roar as a dark red beam hit the orb from the sky.
As the orb slowly dissapeared it revealed a dark red fox like figure with four tails. This dark figure maintained the outline of Mac's hair as well as his round eyes which were now completely white. The four tailed fox quickly charged towards Kyomi. Who barely had enough strength left to stand, Kyomi's eyes widened as he saw the four tailed fox charging towards him on all fours. The four tailed demon tackled Kyomi to ground and ripped his wings off without hesitation. Blood sprouted up and drenched the ground. Kyomi screamed out in agonizing pain but his screams were cut short as the four tailed fox jabbed its claws into the boy's body and proceeded to rip him up. Blood splattered everywhere as the fox continued to slash away at kyomi's now lifeless body. The fox let out a roar of victory and continued to tear Kyomi to shreds. The fox suddenly stopped and then snapped his head his to the left as the other three members of team seven caught his eye. The four tailed fox rushed over to them, Kakashi motioned for his students to stay back. His visible eye widened as he came face to face with the four tailed fox. The demon fox growled as it stared into their souls, and then something unexpected happened the fox was encased in a dark orb once again. As the orb diminished it revealed a bloody and beaten Mac who fell face first only to be caught by Sasuke who stepped out from behind Kakashi in order to help his friend. Sasuke placed Mac's arm around his neck and held him up. Kakashi smiled to himself as he saw Sasuke help Mac. "Come on guys let's go home" Kakashi exclaimed and slowly began walking. The three of them walked slowly behind their sensei. Mac looked over at Sasuke and smiled. He realized something important that day. He realized that as one friendship dies off a new one takes its place.
