Card Captor Wicca Naruto

Chapter 25

Predator: The Snake Man's Prey

Naruko groaned where she landed, her back on the ground, her legs pointed up thanks to a tree trunk that stopped her painfully. She was not fast enough to soften her landing in the least.

"When I find the person that did that, I'm going to kill them!!!" She cried as she tried to move thru the pain.

She turned around and got up on her feet. Just as she stood a huge shadow was cast over her making her look up. There in front of her was a huge snake that could eat her in one bite!!!

"A HUGE SNAKE!!!

Naruko slowly went into her battle stance reaching for her dormant keyblade. Before she could reach it the snake lunged at her. Thinking quickly she dodged out of the way of the snake's mouth but forgot one important thing. She felt a tugging on her left ankle and looked down to see the snake's tail wrapped around it. The snake pulled her back down and wrapped more of its like body around Naruto's own suffocating her.

'Why did I forget that Snake's have tails?!?!' She thought as the mouth of the snake loomed closer to her.

Before she knew it the snake swallowed her whole. That pissed Naruko off.

"DAMN IT LET ME OUT!!!"

With Sakura, Sasuke, and Kero

While Naruko was in the belly of the beast, Sakura, Sasuke and Kero in his true form, stood face to face with the creepy Kusa Nin. Sakura was pissed that someone would try and imitate Naruko and thought he could get away with it.

The Kusa-nin looked at them with bored eyes before holding up an earth scroll, "You want my earth scroll yes?"

Both Sasuke and Sakura got ready, Sasuke gripping the handle of his sword, and Sakura pulling out and opening her new fans that looked like the Gekifans from Juuken Sentai Gekiranger. She saw the show when they were over in the Vampire Slayer Dimension and pleaded with Naruko to make something like it. Using some materials from her adventures as well as some know-how from Kyuubi she created a fan that Sakura could use.

It main components were Oricalcum and its big brother Oricalcum +. She also used other ingredients that worked well with Sakura's main elements Wind and Water along with, to everyone's surprise, the sub element ice. Working at it for two weeks Naruko was able to create two fans similar to the Gekifans but were an Icy color with pink grips and an orange fox head.

The fans also had a few special features that Kyuubi added in. Such as helping Sakura blend Water and Wind together to form ice. It was locked until she could form it herself but was not having much luck, they could also hold a lake full of water for when she did not have any and the lake would grow in size as she grew in strength. The fans, when folded up, would act like a very wide dagger where her fan could not help. They were also strong enough to withstand Naruko's Sword card which surprised everyone.

The Kusa Nin looked at the Genin and winged lion with a bored look before smirking evilly. Slowly methodically the Kusa Nin swallowed the Earth scroll as the Genin and Lion watched in gross amazement. After he finished his meal of Paper he looked down at the ground as if he was savoring the meal

"Now, let's begin the battle for each other's scroll," He stated as he looked at them in a creepy way, "With our lives on the line."

Both The three remaining members of team seven looked at each other before Sakura turned back to the Kusa Nin and said, "That's just gross you know, swallowing your own scroll?"

The Nin just snorted before glaring at team seven hard. The Konoha Genin and winged lion gasped as they felt a lot of KI directed at them. Fighting the effects of seeing their deaths the Genin flare their chakra while Kero does the same but with his Mana.

The Kusa Nin had a brief look of surprises on his face before his smirk returned, "I see you can fight off the effects of my Killing Intent."

"We've felt more form Naruko when she's pissed." Sakura said as every one got ready to fight, "Your's is weak compared to her's."

Soon everyone charged at the Kusa Nin at speeds near high level Chunin. The Kusa Nin was surprised at this development and nearly got hit by Sasuke's sword if he didn't dodge to the side a second before it hit. Sakura formed a few signs before softly saying the name of the jutsu.

"Kirigakure no Jutsu."

Using the humid rain forest as well as some of the water form her fans, Sakura gathered a lot of water together and turned it into a thick mist. Sasuke backed off of the Kusa Nin who, while surprised a Genin knew the technique, wasn't too worried.

'Their no ordinary prey,' the Kusa Nin thought as he began to listen.

He closed his eyes and began to listen. Soon he heard the sounds of something heading his way and jumped out of the way fast enough to miss a Kamaitachi no Jutsu. He heard the sounds of something burning and turned to the right to see multiple fireballs heading from his left. From his right was a huge pillar of flames heading for him and from behind he heard another Kamaitachi no Jutsu heading for him.

The man screamed as he was burned alive by the fire, but by the winds which fed the fire making them hotter. Soon he was silenced as he fell to the ground dead. The mist started to recede quickly allowing the Genin and Lion to see. Sakura pulled the mist into the open fox mouth on the spoke of her left closed fan which snapped shut after it pulled in all the mist.

All three jumped down from the trees and began inspecting the body, AKA poking it with a stick.

"Is he dead?" Sakura asked as Sasuke poked the body with a stick.

"I don't know?"

After a few pokes the body started to break apart freaking them out. Sasuke looked closer at the body with his Sharingan and gasped at what he saw," Aw crap!!!"

"What?" Kero asked looking at Sasuke with a bit of fear.

"Tsuchi Bushin!!!" Sasuke yelled before hearing something that made him yell, "MOVE!!!"

They got out of the way just in time to dodge a huge snake the same size as the one that ate Naruko. Giving each other a brief glance they decided to retreat for now and hauled ass out of there. AS they retreated the Kusa Nin watched they go with an evil predator like smirk on his face.

"And now the hunt begins." He said with a soft his before disappearing.

Over with Naruko

"BARF ME OUT YOU SON OF A GEKO!!!" Naruko cried as she was slowly squished by the snake.

The snake just slept on as it slowly digested its foxy meal. Naruko was ranting and raving in her mind while Kyuubi was also doing the same.

"HOW COULD YOU LET YOUR SELF GET EATEN!!!" Kyuubi cried as she tried to help Naruto in any way possible.

'THE DAMN SNAKE SNUCK UP ON ME WHILE I WAS THROWN FOR A LOOP HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO KNOW IT WAS THERE?!?!' Naruko shouted back in her mind.

"Never mind now are you going to get us losing???" Kyuubi asked as she directed her chakra to the areas in Naruko's that needed it the most.

Naruko tried to think of ways to get out of the mess she was in when a memory from before she meet Kyuubi came to her.

Flashback: Nine years ago

Naruko was gobbling down Ramen as fast as she could; she had to get back to the orphanage before they closed the door on her leaving her out in the cold, again.

The Hokage watched in awe as the hidden little girl gobbled down bowl upon bowl of the water and noodles.

"If your not careful you could throw up." He said to her in a kind caring voice.

"Gomen Jiji-san but I can't slow down. If I do I will be locked out again." Naruko said in a said voice before going back to her ramen.

The Hokage was seething when he heard that, "I thought I told them to keep their doors open to you."

"They did," The man running the Ramen bar said, "But after a few days they went back to their old ways, allowing the kids to beat her, never giving her enough food and so on."

The Hokage was seeing red as he heard this before an idea came to his mind, "How would you like having your own apartment Naruko-chan?"

That simple question led her to become who she was today and more.

End Flashback

That little memory allowed Naruko to think up a quick plan, forcing her hands together to formed a single seal and shouted out the technique that would let her out.

"KEGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU!!!"

The snake instantly awakened when it felt his lunch becoming bigger instantly. Soon the snake popped like a pimple releasing hundreds of Naruko's into the air. Naruko looked at her slimy body in disgust.

"If I wasn't a sorceress this stain would never come out." she said as said a quick spell and her clothes were cleaned as well as the clothes of her clones.

She turned to her clones and started barking out orders, "Let's find Sakura-hime, Aniki, and Kero fast!!!"

A quick, "Roger," and they vanished into the forest to look for her love, brother, and familiar.

With Sakura, Sasuke, and Kero

The rest of Team Seven were catching their breath as they tried to look out for the weird Kusa Nin. Sasuke was leaning on a tree trunk in the limbs while Sakura checked him over for injuries. Kero was on a branch bellow them keeping his nose and ears open for anything resembling the Kusa Nin who smelled like Snakes to him.

"Besides some chakra lost your okay for now but you still need to watch out for yourself." Sakura said as she as she finished using the Shosen no Jutsu on him healing a few small wounds.

She learned a few medical jutsu thru Haku who showed a few but could not learn more until she was Chunin.

"Arigato." Sasuke said as he went back to watching out for the Kusa Nin.

Kero was listening for anything that could be the enemy. His eyes snapped open and his head shot straight up where a snake was hanging between Sasuke, who was looking the other way, and Sakura, who was checking to make sure her own body did not have any bruising or cuts that could be infected.

"Sasuke, Sakura Between you two!!!" He shouted.

Both of them saw the snake in time to jump away just as it was attacking. Kero released a huge column of fire at the snake cooking it.

As Sasuke was landing on another branch to look around for the enemy another snake four times bigger then the one that attacked them, rush at him. He jumped into the air just as the snake hit the branch he was on.

Taking out a single Kunai he charged it with chakra before throwing it and went thru a few seals before ending on the cross seal shouting, "Kunai Kage Bushin no Jutsu!!!"

On kunai became hundreds and pelted the snake on the head, breaking thru the skull killing it. Sasuke landed on the same branch Sakura was on and began looking around for the Kusa Nin while Kero flew over to them to help. Just as they calmed down they heard something that chilled them to the bone.

"Ku, ku, ku, It's nice to hunt prey that actually fights back instead of running away."

They looked around and saw a large bulge forming just behind the head of the snake before it burst revealing the same Nin that had attacked them before.

"That's just sick," Sakura said softly as she got ready to fight again.

"I wonder how long you can keep this up before I kill you." He said softly before he rushed at them.

All three remaining members of Team 7 jumped away just as the Kusa Nin landed on the branch they were on. Sakura threw a few blades of wind at the Nin while Kero fired a huge plume of flames at the Nin. The man disappeared before the jutsu and flames hit before he reappeared in front of Sakura who had no time to react before he kicked her hard. She slammed into the trunk of a tree a few yards away and was luck enough to have a branch under her where she hit to catcher her.

With a groan she slowly got up and saw Kero and Sasuke fighting the Nin with out much luck at the moment. She decided to use her only B-rank Suiton jutsu she had in her arsenal at the moment. She snapped her right fan close and slammed in into the wood of the branch making the fox mouth open up before her hands started to fly thru multiple seals. A minuet later she finished and shouted out the name of her jutsu.

"SUITON SUIRYUDAN NO JUTSU!!!"

Water spewed out of the fox's mouth and began forming a large dragon of water around and above Sakura. Using all of her will power she directed the dragon towards the Nin who was not expecting a technique of that power to come from a Genin like her. The dragon slammed into the Nin forcing him into a tree where he was held there until the jutsu finished.

A few seconds after its finished four windmill shuriken wrapped wire around him and the tree binding the Nin. Sasuke held the cords that held the Kusa Nin tight to the tree and placed them in his mouth biting down tightly. His hands flashed thru numerous seals before releasing his attack.

"KATON: RYUKA NO JUTSU!!!"

A huge Aura of flames wrapped around Sasuke creating a bonfire effect before traveling rapidly down the wire engulfing the Nin who screamed as the flames lucked at his. Kero quickly flew to Sasuke's side and released a huge plum of fire, bigger then the ones he used before, at the Nin combining the tow flames together. After a while they stopped and Sasuke released the wires in his mouth at the two fire users breathed rapidly from the lost of air. Just as the two Shinobi and one winged lion though it was safe they heard the Nin's chilling laughter again.

"Truly impressive Sasuke-kun, I want you even more."

They looked towards where the voice was to see that the person was relatively unharmed with his clothing getting the worst of it.

"And what I want," The Nin said as he pulled himself out of the charred tree, "get."

Before anything else could happen they heard a loud, "IF YOU WANT HIM YOU HAVE TO GO THRU ME!!! FLARE ARROWS!!!"

From the right of the Nin multiple flames shaped like arrows shot towards the Nin forcing him back. When the fire storm calmed down they looked to where the arrows came from to see Naruko standing on a branch smirking confidently.

"Sorry I'm late to the party, it's not over yet I hope."
