Okay… So the run down on the Sasuke Gaara fight… Well, Gaara is acting weird… He's just sitting sand sphere being all like, "Bitch I ain't fightin'", and Sasuke's getting pissed. So he does the Chidori, makes Gaara bleed. Gaara panics… Then a genjutsu. Me, being the total bad ass I am, is expecting it and doesn't even get put to sleep, because once again, I'm a fuckin' badass.

Mari went and jumped down next to Gaara. "Baki-sensei. Don't you think we should call off the plan? Gaara obviously can't do it. He's been injured. We should withdrawal at once." Mari said in a serious, dark tone of voice.

"But what about you?" Baki asked.

"I'm not doing shit while Gaara's out of commission." Mari growled.

"What the hell happened to you Mari?" Kankuro exclaimed.

"Didn't you hear me? We're withdrawing at once. Let's go!" Mari said. Gaara silently followed her, followed by Kankuro. Mari used her sand to lift Gaara and Kankuro, carrying them outside the village, throwing me a taunting smile as they left.

"Oh hell no!" I said.

"PLUM BLOSSOM PUNCH!" I yelled, punching a hole in the wall, following the Sand Siblings.

"You stop right there. You really think that I'm going to let you catch up with them?" a sound ninja said from in front of me.

I stop and smirked at him.

"Tell me the average level of a nameless random Sound ninja is what, low to mid Chunin level?" I said.

"You bitch!" The ninja said taking out a kunai.

'Oh I've been waiting for the chance to say this…' I thought, taking out four kunai with explosive tags on them.

"ART IS A BANG UN!" I yelled, throwing them at his feet.

Before he could react, they exploded leaving blood, and the body everywhere.

I kept running, chuckling to myself.

"Out of all the deaths I've caused, and that I will cause in future, that small death will always have a special place in my heart. Or lack there of…" I said.

After a few minutes, I saw the siblings I was looking for.

"Oh well if it isn't faggoty Andy, on the raggedy Ann, and Gaara. I'm glad I caught up with you. But frankly, I'm not here to stop you. I wanna have MY FIGHT WITH THE RED HEADED BITCH OVER THERE! Get the picture? Andy, over there, and Gaara can go ahead. That's not my fight. I just wanna kill the girl." I said.

"Then I guess I can have the other two then, right?" Sasuke's voice said from behind me.

"Knock yourself out, Uchiha. I don't care." I said.

"Kankuro, take Gaara and get out of the area. This fight, I'm gonna go all out in…" Mari said.

Kankuro took Gaara and kept running. Sasuke went after the two.

"So, the big fight has finally come! The winner! The loser! The living! The Dead, or in other words, you." Mari said.

"Oh that's just adorable. And frankly, you should just leave the one-liners to me, kay?" I said.

"So, first moves, I should do the first move shouldn't I? Well, here I go!" Mari sang. Her sand came at me at a fast speed, I easily dodged the sand. The sand turned and chased me, and I kept jumping from tree to tree dodging incoming sand spikes flying at me. Mari was just standing on the ground, not even looking at me, but just laughing like a maniac.

'How the hell am I gonna get close to her? Dodging all of this –OH MY GOD- damn sand is just gonna –DODGE- fuckin' tire me out!' I thought.

"You getting tired yet, Ume-ki? Is the fatigue seeping into your muscles making you sleepy, just making you want to sit down and wait for the inevitable?" she asked calmly.

"Piss off you dirty skank!" I retorted.

I jumped onto the side of the closest tree, focused my chakra into my legs, and jumped towards her back. I was going at a seemingly impossible speed.

"PLUM BLOSSOM PUNCH!" I yelled, punching her. Or what I thought was her. I punched a sphere of sand, my arm going almost fully in. I tried pulling it out, but it didn't budge. And I bet, that if I moved my arm even an inch, I would get scratched by the glass in her sand, and be poisoned.

"So, you died after Chapter 699 came out, right?" she asked.

"Yeah, I remember reading it…" I said.

"Yup, that's you." She said.

'Hell no! She is NOT taking my punching arm!' I thought.

"Flamethrower!" I said, focusing my chakra into my fist.

"Flame what?" she asked.

Then, fire chakra came spraying out of my hand, which thankfully was covered by a glove.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHH!" she screamed.

The sand around my arm fell down. Then the rest of the sand fell as well. Her now, uncovered shoulder was black. And where it wasn't black, it was red and disgusting.

"You burned me!"

"You tried to take off my arm."

"You fuckin' burned me!"

"You're trying to attack my village."

"MY SHOULDER!"

"FUCK YOUR SHOULDER!" I yelled running at her. I threw a barrage of chakra infused punches, all to which she dodged. She jumped back from me, and had her head tilted down.

"Are you crying? That's just cute!" I said, before laughing.

What I didn't expect was for her to start laughing as well.

"HAHA-what are you laughing at?" I asked.

"Oh, this." She said.

Suddenly, the sand that I was standing on sprang up, covering my arms, and my legs, restricting my movement.

"What the fuck!?" I yelled.

She now looked up at me with a smile. She looked down at her shoulder, and literally brushed off the burn and the black on it. It seemed to have been sand the whole time.

"My poor shoulder. You might have actually grazed it." She said.

I began struggling, trying to get out of her sand trap.

"I wouldn't do that. I'm trying to keep my sand from poisoning you, because I want to drag out your death for as long as I can. It's gonna be so much FUN!" Mari said with a loud laugh.

"But, I suppose it is inevitable… Maybe you won't die from this next move! I really hope you don't!" Mari said.

She put her middle and index finger up to her forehead in a familiar…

"Oh you gotta be kidding me… You know, Toei Animation, Fuji TV, and Akira Toriyama is gonna end up suing your ass!" I said.

"Oh it's just a little Big Bang Attack. You might actually live through it. The only person who died from it was Raditz… RADITZ!" Mari said.

"Bitch did you watch the show? Your kind of missing a major fucking death!" I said.

"Oh, it's all in the small details…" Mari said.

"Now that I've gathered enough chakra, BIG BANG AT-"

"WAIT! Wanna see something cool?" I asked.

"Oh, I know your playing me, but I do…" Mari said.

"BITCHIN' FIRE BENDING TIME BITCH!" I yelled. A large stream of fire came shooting out of my fists and feet, burning the sand, making it fall to the ground.

"Oh look at that, you seem to have escaped. I'm glad." Mari said.

"Okay, why? I'm trying to kill you, and you don't care? CARE DAMN YOU!" I yelled running forward to punch her.

My fist collided with a sand version of Mari. The real Mari was right above me on a branch.

"Don't you understand? I can't kill you, yet. That'd be a waste of a perfectly good rivalry. I'm your Sherlock, Goku, Superman, L, Suzaku, and Spike. You can't die until the end of the series. Unless your just a one episode rival. A weak one that's all built up but is nothing but a weak, confident, little bit-" Mari's rival speech was interrupted by a fiery kick to her face making her fly back.

"Oh you come back here!" I yelled with my whip in my hand. As she flew back, I snapped the whip around her, pulling her back to me. She flew right towards the fist that I had waiting for her. She went right into it.

"Kidney punch!" I said.

"Kidney punch! Kidney punch! Kidney punch! Pause! FACE PUNCH!" I yelled as I hit her. When I punched her in the face, I snapped the whip back, letting her fly into a nearby tree.

I looked down at my burning hand. The gloves were torn from punching her.

"Sand armor." I said looking at her.

'Damn, no more flame thrower with my right hand I guess.'

Her face crumbled off

"M-my sweet sand armor. Now my face just feels naked, how embarrassing!" Mari said touching her face.

"Sand armor, SAND ARMOR! DID THAT FUCKING ATTACK DO NO GOOD!? NO GOOD AT ALL!?" I yelled.

"Actually, if you look very closely, you'll see her nose is slightly crooked, revealing that she has a broken nose. And you can see that her left hand is holding just under her rib cage where the right kidney is. So if I'm right, she has a bruised kidney, along with broken nose. She could also possibly have a fractured rib, since with your terrible aim I doubt you hit the kidney that many times." Makoto said from behind me on a tree. I secretly thanked the psycho for distracting Mari, giving me time to quickly get those damn weights off.

"If you interfere with this fight, I'll kick your ass. Understand?" I asked.

"Oh, I'm just here to support." Makoto said.

"But I'm here to fight once you get your ass beat!" Daiki said from beside Makoto.

"Oh great, the Hyuga's here too." I said.

"We have an audience? Good? Hostages!" Mari said cheerfully.

Daiki and Makoto both got into a defensive stance.

"You really think we're just gonna stand here and let you use us as something degrading as a hostage? I'm a Hyuga, I'm fuckin' unstoppable!" Daiki said.

"Well, I do love a few moving targets…" Mari said, raising both of her hands.

'Oh hell no! Only I'm allowed to hurt my servants!' I thought, running up to her, in a split second. I grabbed her neck, and lifted her up.

"Hurt them, and I won't have mercy on you." I said glaring at the girl.

"You realize that your touching my bare skin is making my sand dig into your hand? Poisoning you, killing you. In the next five, is it five? Five minutes, you'll be weak, begging for mercy." She struggled to say.

I now tightened my hand around her neck.

"Then I'll have to send you to hell in four." I said.

"Throw her forward as hard as you can!" Makoto's voice yelled in my head. As if on instinct I listened, throwing Mari forward.

Daiki jumped down and was instantly in front of a dazed Mari.

He hit her twice, with his Byakugan activated.

"Two!"

He hit her two more times.

"Four!"

He hit her four times.

"Eight!"

He hit her eight more times.

"Sixteen!"

Now, Daiki was breathing hard.

"I can't get to thirty two!" Daiki exclaimed.

As Mari hit the ground, she sent a spike of sand towards Daiki

"DODGE!" I yelled tackling the Hyuga.

The spike flew right over the both of us.

"Fuckin' idiot." I said getting up and shaking myself off.

"You two FUCKING GO AHEAD! NARUTO, SAKURA, AND SASUKE ARE ALL FIGHTING GAARA AHEAD! And I have a feeling that their sure gonna need help." I said.

Makoto got the message, grabbed Daiki, and began running.

"Die." Mari said in a dark voice that sounded nothing like her normal or her "kawaii desu" voice.

"Flame Wall!" I yelled using most of my remaining chakra to make a wall between Mari and my team's retreating figures.

"If I can't protect two idiots, how can I protect the world as it's god?" I asked.

"Grrrr… LET'S GO SHUKAKU! LET'S MURDER! DESTROY! MAKE A MASS GENOCIDE STARTING WITH HER! GRAAAAAAAGH!" Mari yelled, turning into a full raccoon, panda, sand thing.

"Wow… So you're a jinchuuriki. Should have seen that coming… And I have about three minutes before the supposed weakening from poison. Yup, this is sure as hell a Dragon Ball Z moment. And now I have an idea!" I said to myself.

"Sorry about that. I'm usually a lot more composed! But, now it just feels so good to be in Shukaku's form again. It's like an old suit, but every time I put it on somebody dies." Mari, raccoon, thing said.

"Somebody's gonna die alright! Now! SUMMONING JUTSU!"

'Work damn you, work DAMN YOU! COME ON SUMMON ME A YOSHI/EXCEED/POKEMON/DIGIMON!' I yelled.

A big poof was heard, and what I saw, I just couldn't comprehend.

"Wow, the boss bird comes to battle once again. It's been a long time!" a large yellow and red bird said.

"Whoa… Is that A FUCKING PHOENIX! FUCK YEAH! I SUMMON PHOINEX'S! FUCK YEAH! FUCK YEAH! oh god, chakra, or lack there of…" I said falling to the ground.

'That damn sucker took up almost all of my chakra…'

"Well, poor kid's all tuckered out. But you summon birds, I just happen to be the boss. And, oh my what in the bloody hell is that!?" the Phoenix said, looking at Mari.

"Th-That bitch is my enemy. Kill it, or something!" I struggled to say.

"I would lecture you on your manners, or lack there of… But I suppose that can wait.

"Now, for the more pressing issue. You ugly thing. My name is Toriyama! And well, enjoy!" Toriyama flew into the air and flapped his wings. Huge slashes of fire hit Mari, she cried out in pain each time she was hit.

But each time she fell, she'd get back up and try to throw sand at him.

"If you would just stay down! I wouldn't have to keep burning you! And I'd rather be with my eggs, sipping tea at this moment!"

Then, Toriyama blew out a harsh wind. It even began to move me, and it knocked down tree after tree.

It blew Shukaku back.

"You, bird. You really think you'll be able to defeat me like that?! KAME-"

"Oh better give it my A-Game before we destroy the entire landscape. It's actually quite pretty over here. Oh what I would give for some of my green tea." Toriyama said, now distracted.

"HAME-"

"Oh my! Sun, Sun! Mister Golden Sun, kill my enemies!" Toriyama sang, high in the sky.

"HA!"

A great sand spinning cylinder came charging towards the large bird. But the burning, hotter than hot fire came from behind Toriyama right towards the Kamehameha.

"Holy shit." I said in awe.

The fire went through the sand as if it wasn't even there and hit the large raccoon thing.

A huge, ugly scream resonated throughout the land. I wouldn't have been surprised if you could hear it from Kumo.

The scream got quieter and quieter as Mari in Shukaku form got smaller and smaller turning into her normal ugly self.

Toriyama flew down from the sky and looked down at my literally limp self.

"You probably shouldn't try summoning me like that until you've worked on your reserves. I'd say when your mid-Chunin level to low-Jonin level. Until then, you'll only be able to summon the regular birds instead of me. Just for your own safety. Until the next time we see each other, cheerio!" he said before poofing away.

I laid there unmoving and silent for a second until I said one thing.

"Wait a fucking minute. Was he fucking British?"

Suddenly, I saw someone limping towards me.

"M-Mari!?" I exclaimed.

She got on top of me and wrapped her hands around my neck.

"I'm going to kill you. Your DAMN CHICKEN BURNED OFF MY EYEBROWS AND I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO KILL YOU NOW! SASUKE WOULD NEVER LIKE A WOMAN WITHOUT EYEBROWS! I LOOK LIKE GAARA!" Mari yelled. She was literally black and red, her clothes were singed, a lot of her hair was burned off, and she looked like a hot mess. Oh, that was a good pun!

"Y-Your still on about that emo?" I whispered.

"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HIS BEAUTY!" she yelled.

'First she's all about killing me, then she's all about Sasuke. What the hell are we her obsessions?' I thought. I could then begin to feel the poison taking effect, I couldn't fight her. I couldn't get any oxygen into my body. She was just there, tightening and tightening her grip.

Suddenly, Mari's grip loosened. I instantly gasped for breath.

A girl, who appeared to only be about 14 or 15 walked up.

"A-Amayori! What are you doing?" Mari growled.

"Mari, you're hurt. If you do anymore fighting, even if it is just killing her, you'll die yourself. The water analysis that I've just conducted showed me you have two broken ribs, a broken nose, many second degree burns, and low chakra. I've told you to stop your Kamehameha usage. It uses too much chakra." The girl said.

The girl had medium brown hair and literal black eyes. She had no forehead protector on.

"I currently have a water clone assisting with Orochimaru's, Yomi's, and Jigoku's escape. It appears he needed the help more than he thought he would. But now, it is time for us to follow them to the hide out. I will carry you." Amayori said emotionlessly. She picked up Mari gently and looked down at me.

"Hm. How weak…" she said before Body Flickering away.

"What the hell was that? Who the hell was she? Damn, that's fucking ominus." I grumbled.

"Now… IS ANYONE GONNA TAKE ME BACK TO THE VILLAGE!? GOD DEMANDS TO BE TAKEN BACK IMMEDIATELY!" I yelled. Before closing my eyes and sighing, preparing for another angered shout.

"Need a ride?" a voice said from above me.

I looked up to see Anko.

"So, the valet's here. I don't tip." I said.

Anko leaned down and began to heal me.

"You know I'm not the best at healing, so I'm probably gonna have to take you straight to the hospital." She said.

"Yeah… Hey, I summoned a fucking phoenix!" I exclaimed as she healed.

"So you got the bird scroll…" Anko said.

"Bet your ass I did! And I love it!" I said with a smile.

"WHOA! You smiled? I bet three puppies and two kittens just died." Anko said.

The smile on my face instantly disappeared.

"Hey, did we get any prisoners?" I asked.

"Yup."

"Do I get to help torture them?"

"Only if you get out of the hospital in the next few days. I didn't think you enjoyed torturing and interrogating. Did you really like it back in the Academy?" Anko asked.

"Did I? That shit was the bomb! Remember that one buff guy who cried?"

"And that other guy who tried to rip off his ears?"

"Oh the good days…" I said.

"Alright, I did the best I could. Let's get you to the hospital, shall we?"

"Bitchin'!"

At the beginning I had such a hard time with the Mari VS Umeko fight. I knew where I wanted it to go, revealing the summon and a new character. I won't reveal too much about her. But if you look closely you may find some clues to who she is and exactly what's special about her. So, yeah! And actually, I'm excited about the next arc, probably another filler arc. And those of you have read The Makoto Chronicles will see a familiar face next chapter, or well, the chapter after the planned Christmas chapter. Hopefully I get it done.

So, yeah, let's continue I guess!

Guest (You reviewed saying that you like Umeko already): Thanks! I'm glad you like her.

Umeko: What's not to like about me? I'm a bad ass, with bad ass summons, a bad ass name, with bad ass moves, and a bad ass ninja. I'M GOD! I'M THE FUCKING HYPE!

Legendz25: I hope this chapter didn't disappoint you! I'm super nervous about this chapter. I feel like the fight wasn't good enough and I'm like scared of the hate comments.

ToughChick: I, as god, was able to invent one bottle. Here you go, my most faithful disciple.

The Awesome Me Alix: Can yooooooooooou summon mythical creatures? Hell, I'm so fucking powerful, I can kick any Mary Sue's ass that I see! She summons unicorns? I SUMMON BIRDS! YOU MAY NOW BUILD A STATUE IN MY HONOR LOWLY SERVANT WOMAN! BWUHAHAHAHA!

BakaChan: Yeah, you can see how much that went to her head already... I pity her family...

milpid: So? Yeah, I know I'm a bad ass. You may now help build my bad ass statue! OF DOOM!

BakaChan: Oh god... I hope someone kicks her ass soon so all that ego flies away, like a bird.

demi-lion-ninja-scythe-mage: Once I read your review, I started on this chapter. That whole "HURRY UP!" thing made me be like. 'Oh my god! Their gonna find me and force me to write this endlessly! I must hurry! Must write! MUST WRITE!'

Supersilver46: Thanks a lot! That really means a lot! Your nice. You know that? Thank you, very much. You have a nice day, you deserve it. Go play a good video game and enjoy yourself.

Himeno Kazehito: Wow, I thank you. That's very nice of you to say. I hope that I continue to stay up to your standards of, well, fangirlism. Do have a nice day.

bacon of doom: You seem to be the only one who noticed the cover change! Yeah I changed it for the new arc. And I'll probably change it again for the next arc, what ever it maybe. I don't know if I'm going to do some missions with other teams, or just do some filler than skip to Shippuden... Just in the middle of deciding... Anyways, I'm glad you liked Makoto and Sakura's fight. I don't think it was the best. My favorite fight is personally either the Moriko VS Anko and Umeko fight, or the Yoko VS Umeko fight. I loved those fights!

So, I have a small idea what I want to happen between now and Shippuden. But, there's also some important stuff that will be happening with Mari and Amayori. So would you rather me give them a spot in the main story, like at the end. And have 3/4 Umeko, 1/4 Mari. Because now that's *SPOILERS UNLESS YOU LOOKED REALLY CLOSE AT AMAYORI'S WORDING* she won't be putting up an act anymore. She'll be herself, unless Sasuke's around. Making her a bit more likable, if it goes the way I planned. These characters have a mind of their own so who knows what's gonna happen.

So yeah, tell me in the reviews, if you don't mind. Thanks!
