Recap; "Uchiha? Itachi Uchiha? That creepy guy and chicken butt are related!" Shiroi looked up shocked as Sasukes' twitched and Itachi sent her a look as the other laughed.
"Hey, there's a fourth brat. Where do they keep coming from? But this one, he has the sharingan and he looks very similar to you. Who is he Itachi?"
"Kisame, he's my little brother."
He turned back to the three gennin making Sasuke growl in frustration. "I heard the entire Uchiha clan was killed."
"Itachi, I'm going to kill you. Like you said, I hated you, detested you, and just so I could kill you I've survived." He conjured the chidori, madness gleaming in his eyes as he rushed forward destroying a wall with his chakra as he charged.
"I have a feeling this won't end well." Hoshi sighed running a hand through his hair. The other two nodded with wide eyes. Sasuke extended his arm as he got close and Itachi grabbed his wrist deflecting the blow a large portion of the wall and part of a room was blown away his chidori fading.
Itachi snapped his younger siblings wrist causing Sasuke to shout out in pain. Shiori gritted her teeth and her teammate clenching his kunai tightly as Naruto watched shocked. "We have to do something." He clasped his hands together as Shiori and Hoshi readied their weapons. A circle of red chakra appeared around the blondes feet and Itachi and Kisame looked back.
"I see, this is the nine-tails' chakra." Naruto ormed more hand signs after he bit his lip and Kisame raised his sword swinging it in front of Naruto whos' chakra disappeared.
"He may have been, but you were the slow one this time." Shiori slammed her palm into the floor a gray and brown wolf with blue eyes appearing from a puff of smoke nearly as tall aas the hallway.
"What? When did you?" The wolf lunged latching onto the arm holding the sword.
"Good job Yasutake. Now keep him still." The wolf maneuvered himself so that Kisames back was towards the trio making Kisame turn his head to try to keep an eye on them. Naruto had been trying to summon chakra.
"Naruto you will no longer be able to summon chakra until it replenishes it's self. My sword is special it eats the chakra of its' victims." He laughed before punching Yasutake in the nose who had clamped down on his arm harder. "You mangy mutt, let me go."
Shiori crossed her arms in front of her chest before swinging them out sending shadows launching at the hampered ninja. They slowly wrapped around his free arm making him unable to use it as they wrapped themselves around his body restricting any movement. Yasutake released the other arm as the shadows wrapped around that one as well before moving to stand behind Shiori.
"Is there anything else you need assistance with Shiori?" The blue eyes looked down onto the top of the girls shaking head.
"No I think we're good."The wolf nodded before disappearing. "Naruto, you should go and try to find Jiraya. You aren't able to use any chakra and they are after you." He clenched his fists before turning around to leave.
"As so you are the shadow wielder. We just received information about you. Our informant wasn't very keen on you. Seems as if he had a grudge." He looked over to his partner who was easily blocking Sasukes taijutsu. "Hey Itachi, seems as if we hit the mother load today. The ten tails has appeared." Itachi glanced over at his partner narrowing his eyes in contempt.
"You let yourself get caught? How pathetic." Kisame shrugged before disappearing and reappearing next to the Uchiha.
"You're going to pay for that wolf bite you brat." He swung his sword only for it to get caught within an orange toads grasp.
"Pervy Sage!" Naruto looked up from the floorboards as Hoshi looked around confused. "We're saved! We're saved, we're saved, we're saved."
'Everything's happening so fast.' He held his head in his hands trying to calm his eyes and get rid of his growing headache. 'I knew I shouldn't have become a ninja.'
"You two don't know me very well." Jiraya had a woman in a skimpy purple dress slung over his shoulder before he set her down leaning her against a wall. "Jiraya the man, is better at winning girl rather than being seduced by one. I wouldn't let a woman seduce me with her beauty." He looked around noticing who else was there before he continued. "When you become great like me, woman with go crazy over your own beauty." Shiori smacked herself in the forehead before dragging her hand down her face as Hoshi looked at him as if he had just grown two heads as Naruto looked at his mentor beaming.
Naruto pointed a finger at his sensei while shouting. "Yeah right pervy sage! You were excited by a single wink from that woman!"
"You gotta be kidding me." Hoshi ran a hand down his face.
"Naruto, I told you not to call me that in front of people. Why who's this little cutie?" He looked at Shiori who glared back.
"Shiori Yatsuki, the person who will beat you senseless in a few moments." She huffed before turning her back on the old sage.
"We were told to bring you this." He gave the scroll to Jiraya who placed it in a pocket.
"I'll look at it when I'm done here." He never took his gaze of the two in the cloaks before him
"These guys aren't chumps pervy sage." Jiraya bopped him on the head with a frustrated expression.
"I told you not to call me that!" Naruto looked at him shrinking away from his teacher as Kisame laughed from where he stood.
"He is the great Jiraya who was deemed on of the legendary sannin after all." Kisame laughed some more. "Even if you really love women, we knew we couldn't hold you off that easily." Jiraya stared at Itachi.
"You're a disgrace to all men, using that eye to hypnotize a woman to lure me away from Naruto." His eyes hardened as he spoke. "So you're after Naruto after all." All the gennin turned to look at the blonde.
"W-what?" Naruto looked at the men with wide, frightened eyes.
"No wonder Kakashi knew." Itachi shifted his eyes to look back at the sannin standing a few meters away. "I now see, you were the source. It is an urgent order by our organization, Akatsuki, to take Naruto with us. And while we're here we might as well take the ten tails as well." Shiori stiffened as Hoshi raised a kunai protectively while Jiraya looked at the girl in shock. "Yes her, she holds the legendary, Ten tails which is thought by most to not exist." Shiori glared at the men her lip curled in an inaudible snarl as Naruto stood still in shock and a bit of fear.
A cloud of smoke covered the toad as he disappeared back to his home leaving the ninja to fight. "I can't hand Naruto over to you, or the ten-tails." Shiori turned on the sage with a glint of anger in her blue eyes.
"Hey, I have a name you know. Shi-or-ri! Shiori! It's not that hard to say. Jeez" She turned her back on him with a huff as he shook his head.
"We'll see about that."
Jiraya straitened. "Very well, then I will get rid of you two here."
"Don't interfere." Sasuke stood up behind his brother swaying as he tried to find his balance. "The one who's going to kill him, is me." He finally found his balance looking up at the ex anbu before him as he closed his eyes before reopening activating his sharingan.
"I have no interest in you right now." Sasuke clenched his fist rushing towards Itachi.
"Shut up!" Itachi brought his leg up and kicked Sasuke right in the chest sending him flying down the hall and into the wall behind him. He fell to the ground back still against the wall sliding to the side slowly.
"Sasuke!" Naruto ran forward causing his teammate to look up angrily.
"Naruto, I told you not to interfere." Naruto stopped running instead grinding his teeth as his friend stood back up using the wall as support. "I told you before, I've lived until now, just for this moment. The moment where I will finally kill you and avenge our clan!" He looked up his bloodline trait newly activated. He rushed forward yelling and his punch was easily blocked as well as the others and Itachi sent him flying once more into the wall.
"Sasuke has some issues with losing doesn't he?" Hoshi nodded beside his friend trying not to smile while a gennin was being used as a punching bag.
"Although, he always had. It's going to get him killed one day I tell ya." It was Shioris turn to nod.
"Both of you shut up." Naruto glanced over and the two widened their eyes in shock at the tone his voice held.
"I'm not through yet." Sasuke tilted his head up his body shaking.
'He can't make seals anymore, what is he planning on doing?' Shiori looked at the boy in confusion.
"Very well." Jiraya made a move to head forward but was blocked by Kisames' chakra eating sword and a smug look from the blue man.
"You heard him, this a battle between the two of them. No one else may interfere." Itachi was slowly walking over to his brother. Sasuke stood up shouting at his brother to hurry before getting hit by a powerful punch to the stomach. He doubled over blood flowing from his mouth as Itachi kept attacking him as if he was a doll that was made to be broken and Sasuke fell to the ground.
"You're not going easy on him." Kisame watched amusement dancing in his bright eyes. Jiraya, Shiori, and Hoshi watched with hard faces not moving as Naruto got even angrier by the second. Itachi bent down, hauling his brother up by the collar of his shirt pressing him against the wall and shifting his hand so he was now holding the young boy by his throat.
Itachi spoke softly to his brother his voice barely making his way over to the other ninja but the words were long gone by then. Suddenly Sasuke stiffened his eyes widening in fear before his screams raced down the halls wild and full of pain. "Cruel as usual. He's using Tuskuyomi on his little brother." The screams abruptly stopped and his head fell forward over Itachis' hand.
"Cut it out already you bastard." Naruto was stiff as stone before he launched himself down the hall Kisame racing after him.
"Naruto no!" Shiori got ready to bolt after her friend but a hand on her shoulder made her stop. Jiraya shook his head before quickly performing seals his hands slamming onto the ground. The entire hallway was encased in something pink and slimy. Naruto and Kisame had stopped and Naruto looked around before asking what had happened.
"Frog mouth trap." Sasuke was sucked in the wall forcing Itachi to let go before he turned slightly at Kisames' yells and swears. His beloved sword was now stuck to the ground and the pink that covered the floor was starting to cover his feet. "You're out of luck Itachi, Kisame. You're inside my stomach now. I summoned the esophagus of a giant frog from the mountains' rock in."
Hoshi looked around making a face. "Eww, oh man this is disgusting." He bounced up and down switching feet whenever he landed not wanting to touch it before Shiori sent out her shadow making it form a hard sheet to stand on.
"You two are wanted criminals anyway, so I'll turn you into food for this rock frog." He grinned and Naruto started moving around. "Naruto, you stand still. Don't worry, this is my technique."
Itachi shifted his cloak swaying around his ankles. "Kisame, come." Kisame tore the pink flesh that had wrapped around his feet and tugged on his sword hard yanking it free before running in the direction Itachi was headed Jiraya shouting at them. He pressed his hands down into the esophagus sending a wall of flesh headed towards the Akatsuki members. Kisame hacked at the meat a few times before running once more. An explosion was heard from where Jiraya and the gennin stood as the floor shook from the force.
"What just happened?" Shiori watched as Jiraya raced down the hallway following him quickly with the others to see a whole in the wall where the flesh had covered the window the edges were burnt and some black flames remained in some spots. Itachi and Kisame were nowhere in sight.
"What's this fire?" Naruto leaned in closer and closer. "It looks black."
"Don't go near it!" Naruto jumped at Jirayas' loud warning before looking back at the three. Shiori was shaking her head ad Hoshi laughed.
"You don't just go up to an unknown jutsu and get extremely close Naruto. That's really stupid." Hoshi laughed some more as Naruto gave Shiori a look.
"You act just like Sasuke sometimes, it's so annoying!" He pointed at her while making a face and the black haired ninja gagged causing Hoshi to double over as he struggled to get air into his lungs. "What are you doing pervy sage?" Jiraya had pulled out a scroll spreading it on the ground writing a seal on the surface. The symbol glowed as the black fire disappeared being sealed within the scroll.
"This should do for now." He tucked the scroll into a pocket before remembering the scroll Hoshi had given him and taking it out and unrolling it, reading it quickly. "Shiori is it?" Said ninja nodded looking up at him. "Iruka wanted to inform me of the new found Ten tails and the Akatsuki finding out. Apparently he wants you to come with me and Naruto for a little while as we search for the new Hokage." Shiori blinked a couple times before responding.
"Oh, um, okay I guess. What about Hoshi?" She pointed to her teammate who stood beside her and Jiraya glanced over.
"He'll be heading back to Konoha to help rebuild and to go on missions. We shouldn't be too long." He released Sasuke from the wall and Naruto rushed over to catch him as Jiraya stamped a foot down and the flesh started to disappear. Naruto bent down leaning Sasuke against the wall.
Shiori sighed softly. 'I have a feeling this won't be fun.' She looked at her friend before back at the sage nodding. "Alright."
