Ch.14 Going ape are ya?

WOO! Getting back into the swing of things. I'm a bit under the weather thought folks. Got a minor case of the cold. Damn trip got me sick...Grr! ...oh well At least it's not N1H1.....Cause that's the politically correct term...Cause of you said swine flu to someone like me...It's racist. I don't know why. I don't find it offensive. I mean I know a lot of Cholo's who don't even care about it. I'm Guatemalan and I don't find it offensive. I mean really it's not that big of a deal really. But the Zombie's in Capitol hill are about as retarded as ever. Republicans.....Drinking and laughing at Tax payers' expense.

That's right folks...I like the black guy President....He actually speaks in complete sentences. He also enunciates his words out loud and very clearly. any guy who speaks like that is a great U.S leader....I mean look at FDR. He's speaking prowess is only matched by his ability to take down serious issues. Hell he even dethroned an asshole without spending that much money. and he got us out of a depression....BUSH AIN'T DONE SHIT! Obama you gotta pick up the slack and succeed where blue collars have failed....Miserably.

Anyway Let's us begin shall we?

It was night fall when noises were heard from deep within a cellar floor of a boathouse. The sounds were loud and obnoxious. Noises of people are arguing and bickering inside the cellar room. A rat is seen eating scraps from the floor and it sees the people talking and debating about the tasks at hand. In the center was Pein and Konan listening in on the arguments about the newly uncovered information about not only the four tails but the news of a traitor in their midst. Pein addressed the crowd as they turned their attention to him. He looked at each of hte members and saw the anger they had. He was curious as to what they planned should the mole show himself.

"Alright. So what have we gathered from Kaku when she fought the three tails?"

"From what I could tell is that she had only joined the Akatsuki to find out what we were up to for her master. I think the one who sent her in was someone in this very room. It was odd that he and you Toutaku not only come from the same school but you also always had her follow you around." Kakuzu stated.

"First of all she wanted me to join. I don't see why you have to put me under the bus for that. Sure we knew each other only cause she had a crush on me. It's not she saw that I was the best choice to be her partner."

"For fucks sake dude just ice the little schmuck. This fetus is only going to us down. I say I take his head right here right now!" Hidan pulled out his three bladed red scythe. He pointed it at Toutaku who only looked at him. "I'd like to see you try Hidan."

"Toutaku...Hidan...Calm yourselves. It's clear that her master is someone that is not here at this time. Tobi have you found out anything about her life at school?"

"No sirey boss. Only that she was a top class toushi and best in her class academically."

"That's true. She was smart...Too smart for her own good." Toutaku only closed his eyes

"Toutaku you seem to know her best out of all of us. Any suspicious activity outside the ordinary?"

"No boss...at least not that I know o-....Wait...There was one time I did see her meet someone outside the school...He was a tall guy. He had pale white skin and purple mark below his eyes. His Magatama was white unlike an average toushi's green jewel. His chi was rather large for someone like him. I can see the evil in his snake eyes. I think that Kaku was serving that guy."

"Orochimaru....So he lives after all."Pein suspected

"Orochimaru? Who the hell is that?"

"Toutaku was that the only time you saw her with him?

"Yeah..From what I remember."

"Good...Well...It seems we may have a thorn on our side to deal with. Hidan...Kakuzu...Find out about Orochimaru's location and end him. Toutaku I want you and Sasori to find and bring back the four tails. Zetsu...Anything at your end?"

"Let me explain this part.. I don't think my "other" half is smart enough to put it in correct words."

"You always undermine me!"

"Your always frikkin stupid."

"Zetsu...*sigh*...one of you say something."

"We have reason to believe that the Jinchuuriki are being aided by a psychic Shinto priestess near the Kanto region. Her name is Gakushin Bunken. I think we might need to take her out so the Jinchuuriki would be easier to catch. She seems to know everything from now to way along to time-line."

"We'll need you to keep her under surveillance from now on. Keep tabs on her as much as you can Zetsu. But now ladies and gentleman with our numbers down I managed to recruit another member into our ranks. Please welcome our newest members of Akatsuki Sousou Moutoku and Suigetsu Hozuki." They all looked at the first one to enter. He had white short hair and carried a large blade with hole near the end of it. A fang poked itself out of his upper jaw and Hidan was impressed with his demeanor. "Oh look. It's shark boy lava girl."

"You gotta a problem pal?" Suigetsu wasted no time in pointed his blade right next to his neck. "Ohohohoho....Someone wants to play!"

"Hidan...I'm sorry Suigetsu he's a rather impolite person."

"I know a Jashinist when I see one." He responded.

"Aahhh You know of Lord Jashin's religion."

"My older brother is a Jashin priest." He put his sword

"So am I....Well I hate this kid already!" He smirked. "And you must be Sousou aren't ya pansy?" He saw Sousou with his dark brown hair slightly covering his black eyes. He wore a sports Jacket with the Akatsuki symbol on it. He lore long black formal pants with black suede formal shoes. He kept his seriousness facing Hidan who pointed his scythe at him. Sousou closed his eyes and reopened them to meet with Hidan's. He had entered his dragon state to show of how powerful he was to the others. He then closed them again and looked at Hidan who was smirking even harder.

"hahaha...this kid is amazing. You actually tried to make yourself intimidating. You I will enjoy beheading."

"So your the Hidan that Pein has told me about. I don't see what's so special about you."

"You see soon enough prick!"

"Sousou and Suigetsu are working together and will take Kaku's and Deidara's spot. Tobi you and Zetsu will be watching Gakushin Bunken. Now get going. Konan and I will continue our seach for the previous Jinchuuriki and try to take them back." They all nodded and vanished with out a trace.

Outside the building Sasori looked at Toutaku who was lagging behind. "Hey Toutaku....About that girl with Orochimaru...What do you suppose he wants?"

"I don't know ...Hey I gotta make a phone call...Wait for me at the rendezvous point."

"Yeah yeah...see ya there and don't take long. The four tails is a sneaky little monkey." and Sasori vanished. Toutaku picked up his cellphone and dialed a number. "....Hey it's...I take it you heard already....They don't know...Kaku was a mistake from the get go.....Yes...They managed to find the first 4 Jinchuuriki and the nine tails....I will make sure that it gets taken care of......Will do...I understand..Orochimaru." he hung up and looked at the sky watching the stars flicker. "What the boss doesn't know...Won't hurt me." he smirked as he caught up with Sasori and the two had gotten ready to find the four tails.

Meanwhile

When they got back to the hotel Roshi saw that Ryuubi and Sasame were fast asleep on the floor and Ryofu was dozing off in the couch. Naruto and Kan'u walked in watching the three in silent slumber. Roshi had gotten his granddaughter from the floor as Kan'u woke up Ryuubi. Ryofu had stirred seeing Kan'u and Ryuubi and looking back to see Naruto at the door. She smiled as she got up and stretched her arms.

"So how did go babe?" She asked.

"Good...Right Roshi."

"I'll say. I understand now that all but to get caught in it so suddenly."

"So do you know how to find your Guardian?"

"No...I think I can safely say that I will protect my little Sasame and she will do the same. Gakushin did say that when I found the guardian sent to me I would know. Sasame has always been my only meaning to live. I've Protected and kept her safe for 40 years. I think I will keep on doing that for 40 more."

"So you think she's your Guardian?"

"I know so Naruto...Bet it was like that when you met Ryofu right?"

"Ehehee...Well."

"Naruto is a but shy when it comes to how we met. But I can tell you that I felt the same way you did." She looked at Naruto and walking next to him grabbed his hand. "I always had known since the day I first laid eyes on him." Naruto only blushed in retort. Kan'u was a bit shaken by her words. She could only look at the carpet under her feet. "Now then I think we've over stayed our welcome here guys. Let's blow!" She walked out and Ryuubi followed. Kan'u and Naruto stayed making sure Roshi and Sasame were safe.

"Good night Roshi. I'll come back tomorrow and we'll have you introduced to the rest of us later okay?" Roshi nodded. "Good night and have a safe trip home Naruto." They left as Ryofu and Ryuubi were too far gone. Ryofu looked back to see Naruto and Kan'u run back to them. "Let's drop you guys off first. Your house is closer here than mine." Ryofu spoke grabbing Naruto's hand. Kan'u was feeling slightly uncomfortable around them when she did that. When they got to the house Naruto walked Kan'u to her door with Ryuubi.

"Naruto I would like thank you for allowing me to accompany you for this. It really means a lot to me."

"No I should be thanking you Kan'u for today. You guys were a big help with Roshi."

"...I really didn't do much Naruto."

"Yeah you did. You came to the shrine with me."

"Yes...but I feel as if I can do so much more for you Naruto." She inched closer to him. Ryofu was tapping her foot. "Would you stop kissing my boyfriend and go home already?"

"OH KNOCK IT OFF!" Kan'u yelled. "I AM JUST TALKING!"

"WELL HURRY UP...I'M HORNY AND IT'S LATE!" Naruto was shaking with a bit of fear at the fact that he knew what was coming when they got home. "We'll come back tomorrow okay?"

"I would like that very much Naruto...Good night." She hugged him, putting her hand in his pocket and retracting it in time before he noticed. He smiled a bit as was a bit red as he walked back to Ryofu. She grabbed his hand and ran as fast as she can back to her house. As they ran out of sight Kan'u only blushed at the way she was able to finally spend time with Naruto without daydreaming. She went inside the house where Ryuubi and Chouhi were talking and greeting each other.

"Ah Chouhi your back. How did your visit with Gaara go."

"Good. I was able to get to know the other Jinchuuriki too. Who'd a thunk that their progress as partners were improving. I can't wait to meet the other guy you and Naruto found. By the way I still have to see him too. I wanna see how much have they progressed with their fusion form."

"I don't think they even tried yet. They'll be here tomorrow so ask all the questions you want they he is here tomorrow."

"okay then. I'm going to sleep. G'night guys"

"Night Chouhi." Ryuubi called.

"Night Ryuubi. Night Kan'u"

"Good night to both of you." Kan'u went into her room and plopped to her bed. She turned off the light and laid there with her head on the edge of the pillow. She thought about Ryofu's words when she said them to Roshi. She often wondered if the circumstances changed, If she was the one who had been his guardian instead of Ryofu. Would she be able to help Naruto even more than she did now. Would she be able to be alongside Ryuubi and Naruto for as long as time would allow? All this started plaguing her mind. "I wonder if I was Naruto Guardian...Would I be able to stand by him even if I am not strong enough....I don't know why but for some reason...I don't want Naruto to be with her....He deserves so much better.....These feelings. I can't hide them forever...Eventually I will have to come to grips with this reality. I am now certain of this....." She touched her lips with her finger and then put her hands on her chest. She closed her hands around her breast as she winced at the slight sting. She started to pant a little heavily to herself. "...Naruto...

"I think I'm in love with you!"

Next mourning

Ryofu was in her bra and panties again sleeping next to Naruto. He was already up when he noticed Ryofu laying next to him wrapping herself around his waistline. He nudged at her cause Ryofu to open her eyes and crawl to his face. She laid on top of him with lips slightly tickling his whisker marks.

"Good mourning sunshine. How did you sleep?" She spoke pecking his lips.

"I didn't sleep at all last night."

"Aww...I didn't mean to keep you up for that long. But you had so much stamina."

"Is this gonna be a regular thing with you?"

"Honey I would make love to you a million times and it's never gonna bore me."

"You really love sex don't you?"

"It's not that I love sex. I love you Naruto. It's just that I can't stop thinking about you and me in bed together."

"........*-_-"* Why am I not surprised?"

"Oh come on you enjoy going inside me as much as I do you horn dog."

"Oh I'm a horn dog? Look who calling the kettle black?"

"I'm proud to be your one and only nympho. I let you flirt with other girls but you never have sex with them. You know this body is all mine." She started to suck the side of his neck and let go. "I left my mark on you."

"That's just gross."

"Please we've done worse. Now let's get dressed. I'm sure Kan'u is dying to see you again."

"What's that supposed to mean."

"Oh just a joke..." She then saw he was fully dressed. She put on her white shirt with beige skirt and walked in front of Naruto. She put her arms around his waist and pout her head on his shoulders. "Hey Naruto."

"Yeah?"

"Are you happy with me?"

"What are you saying?"

"Are you happy with the way things are? With me?"

"Your asking me this now?"

"Just answer it."

"Well I can't complain about it. I like living in this kind of place."

"No Naruto...Not your living conditions...With life the way it is...Our life together? Are you really happy with it?

"Sure I am...Why can I not be happy with it. I've met so many people here. It's wonderful that I am here. I'm very thankful for it. Ever since I met you it's been a crazy and rough ride so far, But it's been very interesting to me. I can't ask for anything more."

"..Really? Are you sure about this?"

"Yeah...Are you happy with the way things are now?" She retorted with a kiss to his lips more tender than she could ever muster. She broke contact and stared into his eyes more lovingly than she would ever do. Her smile dazzled Naruto's red surprised face. "Being able to do that to you is the best thing that's ever happened to me. All I ask is if you would let me be by your side from now and forever. What do you say? Are you gonna let us happen?"

"If I didn't stop before, what makes you think I will stop now. Your my Guardian Ryofu and I can't do this without you or my friends." He grinned his classic grin which made her blush. The mood was broken when Naruto's phone went off. He picked it up as Kakashi was on the other line.

"Kakashi-sensei."

"Naruto...Is Ryofu with you?"

"Yeah."

"Both of you get here as soon as you can. We've got a problem."

"What?"

"Get here now!"

"We're on the way." He hung up on Kakashi. Ryofu was confused as to what was going on with Naruto. "What's wrong Naruto?"

"That was Kakashi-sensei. We gotta go now, Somethings going down and looks like we got something huge going on."

"Sweety what's the trouble." Naruto grabbed his Magatama and Ryofu's as well and threw is at her. She caught it and latched it on. Naruto put his on and he ran out the door as fast as he can. Ryofu a bit worried ran after him. They had reached the school and went into the room with the Yugito and Yagura just standing there. Naruto saw that Sasame was crying on the floor badly beaten.

"Sasame...What the hell happened?" Just then Gaara and Chinkyuu came in. "We came as soon as we heard." Gaara said panting like crazy. "What in god's name happened to her?" Chinkyuu was shocked at Sasame's current state. She was battered and bruised like a peach. Kakashi was able to tend some of her wounds. She looked at Naruto and Ryofu and ran straight to Ryofu. She hugged her as tight as she can. "Oh god your here......Thank god your here. I was outnumbered. They came to me so fast. I couldn't defend myself. They wanted to kidnap me for something."

"Who attacked you and where's Roshi?"

"I don't know....He said he left to run some errands but he never came back. They tried to hurt me...I was so scarred....So scarred." Ryofu patted her head to ease her pain. "Shh...It's okay....Your safe now...Naruto we have to find Roshi."

"That's not the only problem." Kakashi Interrupted. "Seems like the Akatsuki got some new muscle."

"What?"

"That's right..the treaty's been broken. This afternoon Nanyo was attacked by two assailants with the Akatsuki insignias on them. They blame the attack on Kyoshou since the student that attack them was wearing Kyoshou Uniform....We along with Nanyo and Seito are to attack and take down Kyoshou Academy."

"No..why...Gakushin is on Kyoshou."

"I know...But someone from there attacked us and now the whole school is responsible. They attack Nanyo trying to get Yugito and Yagura while the Guardians were away."

"Big brother...This is bad. My sister goes to Kyoshou too. They can't attack them cause I'm their Jinchuuriki."

"That's right. They can't really attack unless they further investigate this." Naruto protested. Kakashi knew full well he had to tell them the truth. "It's already been decided. I already spoke to Gakushin if she knew who would do such a thing. She told me that she was sorry that things had come to this. The headmasters for each school are have deliberated that unless the student responsible comes forth the school will be taken out. That includes their Jinchuuriki. Yugito for some reason they tried to kill Ryomou while they looked for you."

"But how is this connected to Sasame's attack."

"I think that she was at the wrong place at the wrong time....or....They already know."

"This is bad. we have to find Roshi and get him to safety as fast as we can. I'm going after him. You guys stay here."

"Naruto you can't find them by yourself. What if they find him use him to get to you and the others." He only smirked. "I've got a secret weapon." He smiled and ran to find Roshi. Ryofu was unable to catch up to him as he left the safety of Rakuyou and out of sight. "Good luck Naruto...Whatever you do come back to me...please." She mumbled.

At some open place near Kyoshou Academy.

Roshi was there meditating with his eyes closed. He had been there for some time, He had heard the birds chirping and the many small creatures climbing and scurrying around him. It was then when he saw two shadow's come to his view. Out came Sasori and Toutaku looked dead in his open eyes. He stared right back at them.

"I take it that your not here for an autograph."

"We got one from your little girl...she even signed it in blood." Toutaku pulled out a photo and tossed it at Roshi. He grew angrier at them, His aura intensifying a bit more with each passing second. his eyes turning to an orange scerla and his black pupil going to a pale white.

"You think you can get away with this unscathed?"

"No..I think we are getting you back to our hideout and taking that demon inside of you."

"You rue the day you ever hurt her."

"Then do something about it..She wasn't that much of a challenge with her Fuuma clan techniques. Perhaps you are gonna be much better than she is." He took his fighting stance. Sasori pulled out a scroll from his pocket and opened it. He bit his thumb hard and put the bloodied finger and out poofed a large puppet. It had a human face with a a long metal tail at the end of it. "So your the Puppet master of Kyoshou Academy. Was that you attacked a school looking for others?"

"I wish I was the one who did that. But no that was not me. Maybe someone else was the bold one."

"I heard about the attack from all the way here. Sure that wasn't you boy?"

"If that was me that school would already be burned to the ground. Everyone would have died."

"Well then...Guess I can go all out then." His aura now had grown to a more physical state. A set of long horns were coming out of his skull and chi around him had taken the form of what looked like a gorilla. A tail swung from one end to the other. His arms had gotten bigger with his knuckles were getting more massive in size. He put his knuckles on the ground and posed himself almost like a mad gorilla. The tail was silhouetted with rectangular spike along the dorsal part of the tail. (A/n: dorsal = back area of usually fish or sea mammals. Ventral = chest area or front.) Sasori got inside the puppet he summoned and Toutaku had already gone into his dragon state. Clearly all three of them were going to give it their all.

"This is why they call me the human volcano. LAVA PLUME!" He raised his arms and slammed them into the ground which cracked the very earth beneath them. Both jumped up out of the way as the hot magma shot out from below them. Sasori shot out several small needles which were dodged easily. He the got up and out his index finger in front of him. "DRAGON'S BREATH!" He shot out flames from his mouth and only burned some of Toutaku's shirt. He took it off and dusted the ash from his bare chest. Roshi had seen Sasori coming from the air with the tail aimed at him. He only barely got nicked there but missed the tail's full force. Roshi continues his attacks on Toutaku with many jabs from different directions. Both were engaged in hand to hand combat.

"I could you some help here Sasori"

"I'm going. Hold on I don;t wanna hit you. Keep him in front of my line of sight!"

"Easy for you to say Sasori!"

"What ever it is your planning it won't work. I've fought whippersnappers like you for 40 years. You can fight with experience."

"Wanna bet?" Roshi looked at Sasori who had the puppets mouth open

He then shot out more needles which Roshi blocked with a brass knuckle blade from his pocket. He kicked Toutaku out of the way and slammed the earth below him. Rocks shot from the ground and straight for Sasori. He destroyed each boulder with the steel tail and again struck out at him with it. Roshi had pushed the tail away and stomped on the ground send a tremor to him. He jumped out of the way and struck time and time again at Roshi who was too fast for him. He landed a kick to the face of the puppet and it slid across the dirt dragging grass along with it. Roshi's power grew more stronger as now another tail was seen from his aura. His teeth now sported 3 inch long tusks and the horns on his head grew more larger.

"Toutaku...You okay there?"

"Yeah I'm fine." Toutaku saw the power Roshi was putting out. The aura around him was more harder and manifested more physical features of the beast within Roshi. Sasori open up a part of the doll and shot out kunai knives zooming right at Roshi. He let out a loud yell which stopped the kunai knives dead. Roshi took in a very good amount of air into his mouth and he spat out a sea of not lava from his mouth. Sasori and Toutaku jumped up as far away as they can to get away from the sea of molten rock. Roshi being the Jinchuuriki was impervious to the hot rock. He walked on it like it was just water. He raised his arm and a ball of hot lava formed on the palm of his hand. He out his hand out in front of him, Shooting it to Sasori who dodged the lava ball. Roshi kept up his assault as he crept up to Sasori who moved as fast as he can evading and avoiding the balls. One ball finally hit and the tail was badly damaged. The tail did not melt off which caught Roshi off guard.

"You know this tail is made of kind of metal impervious to fire. It can withstand a temperature of well over 2000 degrees centigrade. Cutting off this tail is gonna take the power of sun to melt it off."

"Good to know...Then let me bring to sun to you then." He tapped further into the four's tails power and his body was now transformed. The molten rock surrounded him and when it broke away in the full view was Roshi in a black body with the gorilla feature much more evident. Three tails were swinging from one side to another. Sasori and Toutaku focused their chi and tried their best to match Roshi's transformed state. This was going to be one tough fight for all three of them indeed

And there it is. Now that Roshi and the Akatsuki are fighting will Naruto make it in time to save him and get him back to Sasame...Is Sasame really his guardian...Or is he mistaken...Can you hear me NOW?...All this and more on the next chapter
