Ch. 20 Full power: What are you Ryofu?
Alright folks. Things are starting to heat up around here now as the battle to decide the winner of this all out 3 on 3 brawl. Now we will settle the score once and for all with this weeks chapter. Folks let me tell ya it's a bit of a doozy. I've been planning this for days now and I think I've got just the thing to keep the crowd coming. Now on with the day's news.
I've seen the line up for this season's anime and I've got to say. It's rather disappointing. The only two good things I've seen were the X men which was next in the line of Marvel Anime series and it's looks pretty good. Iron man and Wolverine were pretty good I'd say. I hope they do the English translation for the anime and bring it back home! Other than that there's this other anime which is like a series of random plots put together and something about a kid caught in the middle of a war between cats and dogs which is a daily occurrence. It's meh at best I think.
There's also this one other anime that caught my attention also which was Hen Zemi. It's kind of neat in a way, I saw the OVA that preceded it's TV series and thought it was okay at best. Oh well I guess the fall line up would be a good I hope. Our line up for July includes an all New Avatar: The legend of Korra which looks sweet.
If you don't know this yet, Nick has plans for the release of the new hit series which succeeds the previous series but instead of encompassing the world of Avatar it's setting takes place in a large modern style city around 10 years after the incident with Firelord Ozi! The protagonist of our tale is a headstrong and brazen young girl aptly named Korra. Korra is the new avatar as water is the next in the elemental cycle. She's mastered all of the elements (As Aang has passed away, Katara's fate is not yet known. This has only been recently released by the creator of the series.) with the exception of air. A new threat looms in the city she currently occupies and she must find a air master to teach her the ways of the wind. Her teacher is none other than the son of the previous air bender avatar named Taizen (According to the creator it's Aang's son.).
It looks like a promising series and I think it's something to look forward in the future.
Well that's all for the news this week in random headlines but tune in next week for any further developments. So without further delay
Let us begin shall we?

"What the matter toots? Can't hack it can ya? Was I too much for ya. Maybe I should have some fun with you for a while before I go back to my sweety. Who knows I won't need to help him against your little friend there. Not like that guy has a chance against my cutey pie anyway."
"Don't underestimate big bro. He's got a power...Unlike anything you've ever seen."
"Oh yeah?"
"He's a special toushi...Just like Naruto..."
"What...He can't be a Jinchuuriki. I know all nine of them stupid."
"Not...that...His power..is that of a sage."
"..Impossible. That powers limited to the Uzumaki family and Naruto's the sole bearer of it's secrets. I know because we've fought the only other sage toushi in Kanto and defeated him easily."
"...Oh...You think only Minato Uzumaki, Kanto's Yellow flash has full mastery of this sacred art? My big bro was taught by the man who invented the art. Master Fukusaku the hermit of Todo-yama (A/n:Toad mountain.). You won't *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* be able to save your boyfriend as long as he's facing my big bro at his full power."
"Is that so? Well allow me to correct you on two things hun." Ryofu had picked her up from her collar tossing half way across the grassy field. Bachou had not even noticed before she was back on the ground again. "One...He's not my boyfriend..He's my fiancee." her kick had made sure she received the message loud and clear. Again she was brought back up with Ryofu's hand to only meet the ground below her with one well placed punch.
"God damn it...That really hurt." Bachou had gotten up once again after the horrendous beating she suffered at the hands of Rakuyou's second best toushi.
"I ain't done yet honey. Get over here!" The slaughter had continued for the poor girl. Ryofu's attack were merciless with each strike.
"Hey! Stay awake will ya? I' haven't told you the second thing you've said wrong in that little rant of yours."
"I won't let you take me lightly Ryofu."
"never said I was but if you keep going the way you are now I might just change my mind. Now allow fix the second mistake you made." A good foot to her stomach had her reeling on the ground to her knees. Her arms covering her already damaged abdomen. She had gasped for breath as Ryofu slowly sauntered her way toward Bachou lifting her chin. The look in her way was almost playful. Ryofu was enjoying the beat down She had given her.
"Two. Nobody underestimates my future hubby." Another punch to her had Bachou kissing the dollar weed patch she had fallen upon." Now that we've got this out of the way, If you don't mind. I need to go see how my baby doll's doing." She had begun to walk away from the scene when her senses had caught something she didn't expect. A steadily rising sea of blue energy had enveloped Bachou with it's streaks of light bursting away from her body. Her chi had begun to rise to incredible heights.
"Oh no you don't...I won't let you get to big bro. I won't. Your fight is with me bitch. Bring it on."
"Alright...you asked for it. But I warned you. Now your gonna die." They had both begun to lunge towards each other in a fight worthy of the history books.
Meanwhile
In another part of the dark and gloomy forest stood Shiba'i with Kabuto awaiting the arrival of the four toushi he had sent to retrieve Ryuubi. They had been waiting for hours when someone had stumbled into the clearing and nearly fainted to the ground.
"What is this?" Asked Shiba'i.
"Master...Master...Help me."
"Tayuya...What happened to you?" Shiba'i was curious as to what had been done to her. "Who did this?"
"It...was...Ryuubi...Her dragon *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* . Her dragon...has awakened."
"What..how?"
"We had her in a corner..Suddenly her protector had popped out of nowhere. We had almost disposed her...But her power sudden sky rocketed."
"What did you measure?" Replied Kabuto curious. "Those chi readers I built for you should have displayed the strength of her chi."
"..It was...520..."
"Over 500?..Impressive."
"We didn't stand *Cough* ..A chance master...We were sitting ducks out there."
"So the operation was a failure."
"I apologize master. I have truly failed you.." She had held her stomach to stop the bleeding she suffered. Blood had already seeped out of the top of her head. Her life was getting ready to leave her slowly."
"It's alright Tayuya. Where are the others?
"They didn't make it sir. They were beaten like a god damn step child. Her power was too much..." She was helped up by Kabuto and placed on a rock for her to sit on. "It's alright. I knew this was going to happen. You've done a good job in at least acquiring the knowledge I needed for my experiment."
"Master?"
"Your services are still needed Tayuya. I'll heal your body so you can now start your new assignment."
"Yes master..Anything." Shiba'i paid special attention to Kabuto's words. She too was curious as to what he was doing to have Tayuya do next.
"I want you to keep an eye on this boy." He had pulled out a picture with Naruto's face. This photo showed him standing in a crowd minding his own business unaware of the paparazzi shot that was taken of him.
"This is.." Tayuya cringed at the pain she still felt throughout her entire body. "The nine tailed Jinchuuriki."
"That's right. He's currently in a little fight with the leader of Ryoshuu Academy and not doing a very bad job of taking his hits. I want you to make sure he gets to the second round. We need him to be together with the Uchiha as well as the Seito leader as well."
"Yes master...I won't fail you." She half nodded. Kabuto had tended to her wounds with tenderness. Her injuries were rather severe at worse. Her cuts and bruises signified the intense beating she suffered at the hands of the Seito dragon warrior. "By the way..How did you manage to survive this ordeal."
"It was your gift that saved me master. I managed to use the curse mark's chi to reduce the damage as best I could. She's really a monster when she's like that. It scared the shit right out of me."
"Is that so...That reading then, Do you have the chip that recorded the whole thing?"
"Yes...I do." She had managed to take a small memory card from her back pocket giving it to Kabuto. "Where's your reader?"
"..I destroyed it by accident master. My apologies."
"No..No you did good. We don't want to leave any evidence behind." From Kabuto's pocket emerged a small little button which he had his thumb on. "I hope you understand what I'm going with this."
"...No...I don't." Once the button was pushed a giant explosion had occurred a few miles from their present location. Tayuya that location was where she had left her comrades to come back to Kabuto. "Now you do...And the same will be done to you should you fail me again."
"No...I will not disappoint you master..I promise."
"Good girl."

The sun had started to set on the cliffs of Mt. Chibi when a teen girl and her lover dearest boy companion had come towards the stone where some believe held a dark and cruel entity. The battle that decided the fate of the world had since faded into legend. The story now an epic tale told to children. The girl and her lover had decided to sit down on the cool green grass with the stone on their backs.
"Hey wait babe...The grass is pricking my butt." She had giggled.
"Want my shirt?" He asked.
"Oh don't worry about that right now.." She coly mouthed before taking his shirt on with tender hands. Her finger snaking their way to each button as she played tongue war with him gracefully. One final button had his shirt flying through the air landing in the grassy patch in front of her. "Your shirt would just get in the way." She smiled.
"Well well well. Your bolder than usual."
"Isn't that what you like babe. You always loved it when I took charge."
"I won't lie about it." His hands soon found it's way under her blouse and slipping it off with little effort. Her ample chest only being covered with the bra which looked too small for her well endowed chest. His hand soon caressed her right breast as she let out a small little whimper as a sign of excitement. Her hand too was running up and down his back with her other hand rubbed the bulge she felt.
"Getting excited already?" She spoke in between kisses.
"You are too."
"I know...Come on..I don't want your big friend suffocated in there." She had slowly undid his zipper and started to sink her hand inside earning a little groan from her beloved. "Godyou always know what to do."
"I don't want to be left out..Come on..do me too."
"Okay okay." He too had slipped his hand into her skirt and into her panties which had her panting a little heavier when usual. "Oh yeah...Oh baby...There." Her panting would increase which in turn caused her to quicken her pace when suddenly A voice had loomed out of the blue.
Kyuuko...
"Kyuuko..Who's that?"
"Huh?" He asked.
"Who's Kyuuko?"
"I don't know. Just forget about it.."
"Nu uh...I won't continue unless you tell me who Kyuuko is?"
"I don't know who this Kyuuko is. I've never heard that name before."
"Your not cheating on me again are you?'
"No...No I'd never do that to you..I promised remember."
"..I know.." She smiled when the voice again had surprised her.
Kyuuko...
"Alright that's it..." She had pushed him off putting her blouse back on.
"Hey wait. What's wrong now?"
"You said that name again...I knew it. You're cheating on me again."
"I'm not I swear. I didn't say anything at all I promise.
Kyuuko...
"See! You said it again. Your such an asshole. How could you do that do me? I thought I was everything to you. You said you'd never see another woman behind my back."
"I'm not I swear."
"Then why do you keep saying-"
Kyuuko...I'm coming."
"See?"
"...That wasn't me..."
"What are you talking about?"
"I don't sound like a girl..." Something had sudden caught his attention when she had seen the stone with the sealing paper and rope wrapped around it. "...Hey...Isn't this the stone that supposed to have that evil demon inside it?"
"Yeah...It's the same...The Juuma stone...But." Sudden a small tremor had started shake the very ground beneath them sending them running away from the scene. Upon the stone the paper had sudden started to crumble mysteriously and before the sun had disappeared behind the only tree on the hill as if hiding, a small crack was seen on the stone.

The fight between Ryofu and Bachou had escalated to new heights. Each had suffered blow after blow with each passing second. They had started to fight back on equal ground as none had wanted to get defeated by the other so easily. One final clash had them sliding across the battle scarred ground in a fierce stand off.
"I gotta hand it to ya sweet cheeks. This is some fight you've managed to put up. I guess you've trained a lot for just this chance."
"Well to me honest Ryofu. I've wanted to test my true strength against the unrivaled power of the nine tailed fox. I know that if I was able to fight him and defeat him I'd be the strongest in all of Kanto. It'd really be something to look forward to. But since big bro got that chance for that I will have to settle with you."
"Don't take it easy just yet. I haven't shown you what I'm really capable of. Here goes." With her arms crossed together Ryofu's chi had taken a significant rise. Her green aura had started to overwhelm her entire body as green static had started to hit the ground with violent jolts. Sudden she started to gather a chi ball in her right hand. It swirled furiously giving off a loud shrieking noise.
"What is that?" Thought Bachou to herself. "It looks like that attack Naruto used on our sparring match...I can't remember what it was called."
"I hope you're ready. I don't intend to hold back with this attack." Her aura pulsated quickly as her chi ball had started to fully form on her right hand. "HERE I COME!" She raced towards Bachou who had gathered a chi ball on her right hand as well. "Whatever that attack is I'll stop it!" With more vigor than before she charged towards her opponent.
"This is for you Naruto! RASENGAN!"
"HIYAAAAAAA!" They both shouted as their attack collided with one another. A power struggle had begun between the two. Each pushing as hard as they can to try to outdo the other. Ryofu's power had surged throughout her body as her attack forced it's way toward Bachou's side. The latter had also done her best push back Ryofu only to falter at the weight of Ryofu's greater strength. Each little shove had made the gap in power between Ryofu and herself that much clearer. Doubt had begun to set in her mind.
"Big bro...I'm not strong enough...What do I do? What do I do when I know I can't win. What would you do?"
Her body began to tremble from the pressure of the chi being exhumed out of her body. She was almost giving way to Ryofu. Sudden she began to remember the time when she would sit along side Kansui to listen to his advice. She had always looked up yo him as a role model of strength and determination.
Bachou Flashback
"Hey big bro...Why are you always so strong? Every time you've fought it's like you've always gone all out even when it wasn't worth your strength." She and sat Indian style behind Kansui watching gaze into the afternoon horizon. She had always wanted to learn all she could from him. Even wanted to walk beside him to listen to his advice about anything. It was that enigmatic part about him that she admired most. It was what made her think gave him the power he possessed.
"Ever had something worth fighting for Bachou? Anything at all?"
"Well yeah...To be like you Big bro. I've always to be as strong and courageous as you. I wanna be as cool as you."
"Is that so? Is that really your reason to fight? to be like me?"
"Well yeah. Why..What do you think is the one thing worth fighting for."
"That's just it Bachou...One thing.."
"Huh...You're not making any sense."
"You won't get it now, but soon you'll be able to understand it as I have. It's always that one thing that will give you power. That one thing that will grant you the courage to fight. The belief that will keep you pushing towards being a strong toushi."
"Yeah...but what is it? What is that one thing?"
"Well..That's something you have to figure out yourself."
"No fair big bro. Come on tell me..I wanna know."
"Bachou...It's not something I can just tell you. It's different for everyone. Be it evil or benign. It's all about that one thing that will keep you moving forward into toe future. It will be the driving force to keep you going on and become strong. You have to discover it for yourself. I can't teach you something like that and you won't read it in a book. I know that what I fight for is the most important thing I can ever hang on to. It has given me the strength to overcome anything that life puts behind me. It's that one thing...that will change my destiny."
"So what's the one thing you fight for?" she asked. Kansui had only to look at her and smile before light had overcome his face.
"It's the right thing."

Ryofu had put the final push using her chi before Bachou had buckled under the pressure still holding her own.
"Give it up. You can't win. I've got what it takes to get to the top. I won't jeopardize that and Naruto's dream to lose to you." Then when all hope seemed lost to her. Bachou had remembered the words that Kansui ha spoken to her and something had awoken inside her. Insane amounts of power had suddenly surfaced which allowed her to shove Ryofu's attack and send her flying a few yards away from her. She had crashed into the ground with her cloths in tatters. Her blouse had disintegrated into nothing which left her with her bare chest exposed. Her skirt had torn in tiny pieces which revealed her clean pink g-string. Ryofu had gotten up with her body aching from the impact of Bachou's blow.
"Where the hell did you get that power from?" She said to herself. Bachou energy had rotated violently around her with furious rage. Her eyes had glared at Ryofu as veins had slowly begun to surface around her body. Bachou's chi had taken a immense rise.
"Is that what you fight for? To achieve your dream with Naruto at your side? You fight for your love? Your passion to help your Jinchuuriki become the strongest in Kanto? Following your heart to give you the strength needed to overcome anything?"
"That's right...And what do you fight for?" Soon Bachou had started to shout at the top of her lungs which sent a large surge of power from inside her body.
"I fight for my own reason. The one thing that's keeps me going and makes me strong. It's the will to follow big bro and his teachings. My will to be as good as him and fight for the right thing. That's my reason to fight." She had started to dash faster than the speed of sound and landed a clean punch into Ryofu's sternum. She had slowly fallen to the ground with a loud plop before Bachou's power faded in an instant.
"Your a strong toushi Ryofu Housen...But I'm stronger...I'll surpass the nine tailed and big bro to be the best. I've won this match, farewell." As she was about to walk away she jumped when Ryofu had grabbed her leg not letting go. Bachou had noticed her nails had grown into small claws and a pair whisker marks had appeared on her face. Her eyes had also changed into a red sclera with a vertical snake like iris. Her fangs had shown as she clenched her teeth before promptly falling to the features had also faded along with her consciousness. Bachou's leg was soon released from Ryofu's death grip.
"...What was that? That chi was almost...Sinister...What are you Ryofu Housen?" Wondered Bachou following her leave to meet with Kansui and Naruto's fight. She was going to help as best as she could to finish off the last of Rakuyou's 3 man team.

The two sages had been fighting intensely. Neither was able to land a single blow to one another. Naruto's strength was on par as a sage with Kansui. With every punch or kick that he threw Kansui countered accordingly as if he knew what he was thinking. One more counter blow had them jumped away to stare each other down.
"You're stronger than I though Naruto. So I guess you were trained by someone very strong too."
"You know what they say, Like father like son."
"I see...Family trait eh. I'm a tad different. Fukusaku was very strict with his training. I practically died several times over."
"Made you stand on top of that slab of rock and meditate for days on end with no food right?"
"Yup...So you gone through it too."
"Obviously since I'm a sage." Before they began another round Bachou had emerged to Kansui's aid.
"Big bro! I'm coming! I'll help you."
"...Your here...Where's Ryofu?" Asked Naruto.
"She's defeated. And I'll do the same to you." Kansui had placed her arm to stop her from moving. "You will do no such thing Bachou. Stay out of this."
"But big bro. I wanna help."
"Hey...Remember what I said when we talked some time ago...The one thing...Have you figured it out yet?"
"...Yeah...I have."
"This is part of my reason...Please let me get a chance to embrace it."
"Big bro."
"I'll be fine...Go find Neji and get him to safety. I'll have the Yang scroll before long."
"...Big bro...Alright. I'll be back. Please be safe."
"I'm a sage...What could happen." She nodded before heading towards where she felt Neji's power last.
"Looks like your guardian wasn't a match for Bachou...Any doubts now?"
"Not a single one...Now I have one more reason to beat you...For her sake."
"Tell me...What's your reason to fight Naruto? Why do you fight? What makes you stand for what's right and struggle on? Is it because it's your destiny to be the hero. To share the fate of the Jinchuuriki and protect this world?" Suddenly Naruto's sage chi had begun to fade. He had run out of time!
"Damn it..My sage mode's gone. This isn't good." Kansui had charged with all his might landing a punch while had him crashing into a tree causing it to topple on top of Kansui, He only had to raise his fist to snap the trunk like a twig.
"Well Naruto...What's your reason?"
"What are you talking about? Do I need a reason to fight?"
"Everyone has a reason to fight. Love, hate, something worth fighting for which is different? I wanna know if your reason is far greater than mine." Taking the blow in stride Naruto had stumbled to his feet and closed his eyes before revealing a different set of ocular organs. He had tapped into the foxes chi and started to combine it with his sage chi. The frogs eyes had merged with his fox slits and along with it a sudden increase in power.
"I can guarantee ya pal. Your reason ain't shit as long as I'm concerned. All I know is that I have to beat you. And keep on going after that.
There it is folks. The final battle between Kansui and Naruto! Who will come out on top? The nine tailed hero or the sage master.
Next time Ch.21 Clash: That's my reason to fight.
See ya next time ^ ^.
