Sleepless D: Well I hope people are finding it interesting, and please do review, I like it when people review. Peace out.
Kisame quickly does several hand signs and fires out several Water Bullets are Kim. She quickly shimmers silver and the Jutsu collides with her. Kim comes out of the slash zone, rolling backwards and soon rolls back onto her feet. She coughs a little as she felt that, and that hurt her more than she thought. She looks up, seeing five Kisame rushing at her in different directions. She launches her hands at two of them, stabbing them with blades that took form. The Kisame's explode into water and she spins round, her foot extended and turning into an axe, slicing through another Kisame and it explodes into water. She watches and soon spots two Kisame launching at her. She goes to counter, but she sees one of the Kisame go behind the other, seeing arm movements and the front Kisame explodes. She sees the water shower at her, but she feels something tear, she looks and her eyes only managing to catch sight of the water droplets are the shape of sharks. Her clothes and the metal plating on her skin gets cuts and marks on her body. She curses and quickly has a spikes form round her body and creates a metal ball round her.
Kisame smirks and quickly launches towards her, pulling out his sword and swings hard. It hits and the ball of metal, warping slightly and it goes flying. The ball crashes through several houses and enters the black flames and lava area and Kisame smirks, slowly making his way to where Kim vanishes, though he stays cautiously.
When Kisame leaves the area, Kabuto appears and looks at Yugito, smirking a little as he pulls out a scroll. He looks round, knowing he'll have to act fast before the Lightning ninja arrive.

Itachi moves cautiously through the burning buildings, he attacked Midori since she nearly turned the Lesser Shukaku into a glass form. The Lesser Shukaku is currently hiding, avoiding flames as best as it could and Midori was hiding, managing to avoid Itachi's black flames. Several buildings explode and Itachi sees a metal ball flying pass, making him a little confused. He coughs a little, spitting up some blood and feels dizzy for a second. He shakes his head and focuses again, trying to think of how to capture the Lesser Shukaku and Two Tails without risking his life.
Kisame soon comes into view, spraying water at the nearby lava to reduce the heat a little. Steam continues to increase and is dampens the flames a little, other than the black flames. Itachi makes his way to Kisame, staying low as he scans the area, trying to detect chakra. "Kisame, did you capture the Two Tails?" Itachi asks, barely seeing his companion.
"No, some bitch decapitated her before I could get to her." Kisame tells Itachi, sounding annoyed. "I hit her like she was a football and aimed for your black flames. Not sure if I hit it or not." Kisame tells him.
Itachi sighs in some annoyance. "We're going to be delayed for two years now…" Itachi says, inwardly worrying since he wouldn't be able to delve deeper into the Akatsuki and finish some last wishes before his end.
"Yeah…Pain is going to be pissed." Kisame says with a chuckle as he sees more flames build up. "So what's going on with the Lesser Shukaku and Midori?"
"Midori has gotten out of sight, Lesser Shukaku is nearby. I can see its chakra heading north bound." Itachi informs Kisame, thinking for a few seconds. "We best leave, it's getting chaotic here." Itachi tells his companion.
"Isn't that was Akatsuki do best?" Kisame asks with a chuckle, looking round and seeing specks of melted glass. "I take it that Lesser Shukaku is made of sand?" He asks, gaining a nod from Itachi. "Then why don't I restrict its movements by making it wet sand?" Kisame chuckles and does the Ram hand sign.
"It may destroy it." Itachi warns him, gaining a sigh from Kisame.
"We won't know until we try, it's only a secondary objective." Kisame chuckles, but soon feels a tad hotter. The two look back, soon catching sight of Lava being spewed in their direction. Kisame curses and quickly pumps chakra into his body. "Water Style: Super Exploding Water Shockwave!" He yells before his mouth spews out gallons and gallons of water. The water collides with the lava. Steam soon erupts round them, but the water continues to flow and the water and grows and the village is slowly being consumed by a giant ball of water, extinguishing the flames and lava, other than the black flames.

The Lightning ninja were a few streets away, having found the remains of Yugito. They look distraught and angry that they just lost their companion and a Jinchuuriki at that. They collect her remains, but soon notice a tidal wave of water flowing towards them rapidly. They curse and quickly scatter out of the water's way, managing to get away and watch as the water dome expands and sizzle.

Itachi holds his breath, slightly annoyed that Kisame caught him in his Jutsu like that. He scans the area, soon seeing Midori floating out of a slightly burnt house. She looks round, her body steaming, but soon stops and cuts her leg with her katana and waits. Itachi watches, seeing chakra in the blood, but widening when he sees rapid spread and his mind was calling danger. Kisame could smell the blood, but something was wrong and looks, seeing Midori just staying there, bleeding herself purposefully.
He sees Itachi quickly activate Amaterasu in the entire area between the two, creating a barrier. His eyes scan the waters beyond the flames, seeing a few villagers swimming, panicking greatly for a few seconds, but soon stop. Itachi sees the blood like chakra hitting them and they stay like that for a few seconds, soon having their own chakra erupt into red and swimming violently, soon spewing blood of their own which seems to be identical to what Midori gave.

On the edge of the water dome, a warped, metal ball shimmers, opening up and Kim is faced with water rushing into her ball and large water bubbles floating upwards. She is somewhat surprised and looks round as best as she can. She sees the wall of black flames, making the water bubble away and sees Midori against the blackness. She soon spots villagers, vomiting blood and trying to swim, but they seem to lose all coordination. Kim thinks for a few seconds, some panic in her as she quickly seals herself into her dome, water and all. She forms the silver round her, moving and soon compressing the water towards the flames, away from the outside of the dome. She continues to build pressure until she could feel the metal warp. She suddenly releases the pressure outside and the force causes the metal ball to be pushed and soon hits the water barrier and rolls away.
The metal ball rolls for a minute, soon stopping and dissolving into liquid and Kim steps out. She clicks her neck as the liquid metal re-enters her body through her sweat glands. She looks at the dome, knowing what Midori is and knew it was good that she escaped before she was contaminated. She quickly moves and vanishes into the woods, needing to inform her superior.

Itachi feels his lungs strain a little, looking round and seeing the Shukaku's chakra on their side, round the edge of the water barrier, but isn't moving. He taps Kisame, showing his difficulty breathing. Kisame smirks a little, looking and seeing Midori just beyond the flames, not doing anything but float there. Kisame sighs a little and releases the Jutsu, causing the water to splash across the area, the black flames landing and spreading across the buildings. Itachi coughs a little, feeling a little light headed. "We better move." Itachi tells his partner, gaining a nod from him.
Kisame and Itachi quickly make their way to where the Lesser Shukaku was last sensed. They see the black flames consuming the buildings and keeping wary of Midori still being active. They make it halfway there, but the two soon sensed danger, they look round and soon see figures on the other side of the black flames. They continue walking, but they soon see several people either jump through or run through the black flames. The figures soon become clear that they're the few villagers left. However, something is wrong with them, other than the fact that they're running/jumping through fire. Blood runs from their nose and eyes, one vomiting blood, but they all seem to ignore the flames, apart from one that is being consumed by the flames and soon dies. Only a few didn't have the black flames on them, but they all rush towards the two. Itachi's slightly blurred, yet still sharp eyes catch their eyes, seeing that they're scarlet and bloodstained. Both Itachi and Kisame quickly move, smashing the villagers away. Some continue rushing and soon one of them projectile vomits blood at Itachi. His eyes widen, his eyes catching chakra in the vomit and manages to dodge it. He feels something wrong with the vomit and believes something dangerous will happen if they get any contamination.
"Kisame! Don't let any of the blood touch you!" Itachi tells him, kicking the vomiting villager in the stomach and smashes his elbow against the person's neck, snapping their neck and killing it.
Kisame could smell something wrong, his shark side and even his weapon could smell danger from the blood. Kisame kept the attackers at arm's reach, kicking them into the black flames. The two continue dodging their attacks and getting blood on them as best as they can, soon taking out the group and sigh in relief.
"These villagers seemed a little…overpowered." Kisame notes, looking at the villagers and knows something is wrong with them.
"Their chakra was running violently and were red. It could be a contagion." Itachi tells him, soon getting out of the area and followed by Kisame.
The two make their way quickly and soon find a wet, sand mass. They watch and see Lesser Shukaku trying to maintain a human mass, but was failing. Kisame smirks and walks over to it, making a few hand signs and quickly seals the Lesser Shukaku into a Water Prison Jutsu. Itachi watches, making sure all the Shukaku is all in it. He does a few hand signs. The stone under the Water Prison soon raises up and soon covers the water, sealing it so no water can escape. Kisame chuckles and knocks the rock about, seeing it roll and soon places a hand on it. "So we've got this sealed, take it back and got a more stable extraction." Kisame says, soon catching the scent of fresh blood and looks, soon seeing Itachi looking back and Midori is standing there, blood running down her leg and water dripping from her hair.
Midori walks towards Kisame and Itachi, her eyes blank and the killing intent so pure, it could rival Orochimaru. Itachi has his Sharingan active, watching carefully and knew his Genjutsu had no effect, he decides it's best to waste the rest of his chakra to burn her to a crisp before she can react. His eyes soon catch something, seeing the future image of a blade spinning towards Midori and her eyes looking at the blade. Her image moving and blocking the blade. The building where the blade will come from explodes and the blade hits the other blades as predicted. The force rips at the air and Midori is sent with the blade, crashing through several buildings. Kisame and Itachi cover their eyes as the collision felt like an explosion and the two are soon left alone, confused.
Itachi scans the area, soon his eyes going upwards and seeing chakra in the distance. Itachi grows confused as the chakra colour is different, seeing both Violet and Green in colours, but the two seem to be flying across, or at least jumping about a mile away from them. "What just happened?" Kisame asks, confused since his eyes didn't catch any of that.
"…I think we entered into something we couldn't hope to comprehend." Itachi says, looking at the stone ball which held the Lesser Shukaku. "We best collect and leave before we're caught in more danger." Itachi says, looking towards the direction Midori and the unusual chakra signatures are going to. His eyes widen when he witnesses the mountain in the distance suddenly cracks and it's severed in half from some means of attack.
Kisame saw this two and couldn't help but chuckle. "What a shame, that might've been interesting to fight against."

A few seconds ago, Midori is crashing through several trees, gritting her teeth as she looks at the katana still attached to her two. She feels her body stain and the metal of her katana's bend and about to shatter. She balances the one in front before letting her right hand go, feeling her muscles burn and tear from the strain. She soon smashes her first against the flat edge of the attacking katana, forcing it off and is sent spinning off at a hundred miles per hour away, slicing through all the trees it came in contact with.
Midori soon finds herself decreasing in speed as she crashes into a few more trees and finally forces herself to stop. Her feet stab the ground, feeling muscles and flesh tear along with toenails and her toes breaking from the force. She hears something explode, looking and seeing a nearby mountain just get severed in half before she slows to a stop and clenches her teeth in pain. "Good thing I blocked it…" She whispers in pain and leans against a nearby tree.
A few seconds pass and she hears two heavy thumps before her. She doesn't bother looking and simply sighs. "Did you have to cut into my fun?" Midori asks, looking up and seeing two people before her.
The first one is a woman with a green cloak and a well-designed, green kimono. Her very pale skin shining in the sun light, like she's never seen the sun her entire life. Her hair is the colour of an eggplant, grown long which goes back into the cloak. The other is a man with long, tidy black hair which was tied at the back; he wore old fashioned armour with black clothes under it, but it was only able to see because he had a Violet cloak covering most of his body. Midori smirks a little when she sees his eyes, seeing the Hyuga eyes and she stands up as best as she could.
"Lucian, Levia…funny meeting my siblings here of all places." Midori says and coughs a little.
"We could say the same…sorry, what is the name you're going by, Wrath?" Lucian asks, his eyes narrowing at her.
"I might as well go by the human's name, so Midori it is. And you've stuck with the same body for all these years, brother." Midori notes and looks at Levia. "This one's mind remembers you Levia." Midori tells her, gaining a rolling of the eyes from the other woman.
"It doesn't matter. What brings you where 'Midori'?" Levia asks, using emphasis on her name.
"Came to kill the Tailed Beasts." Midori tells them, sitting down and leans against the tree.
"And you couldn't put some clothes on?" Lucian asks, obviously sounding annoyed.
"Couldn't find my size." Midori says, feeling a tad painful round her legs.
Lucian goes to argue, but closes his mouth and looks irritated still. "We can't have you killing them off. We need them to bring the end." Lucian tells her, walking towards her. "I know you're Wrath, but you can't kill them because you hate the Jubi in all forms."
Midori sighs and stands up, her knees shaking a little. "Yeah, but you didn't have to use Kami's Katana against me?" She asks, coughing weakly.
Lucian just stares at her and then at her katanas. "You were asking for it. Now come, we're being countered by the Four."
Midori raises an eyebrow. "They always want the fighting to end. By the way, how do you get use to all this breathing?" Midori asks, walking towards the sliced mountain.
"You don't." Lucian tells her, looking towards the village Midori came from. "But it feels like our time is going to be delayed."
It doesn't matter, Lucian. We've got everything sorted for the future. Now let us receive your weapon." Levia says, smiling a little.

An hour passes and Kabuto sits on the edge of the village. He takes a few breathes as he looks through a scroll while he puts a few vials of blood in containers. He checks over the scroll and taps it, causing the contents to explode and the remains of Yugito appear. He smiles as he checks her over. "Right, that substitute corpse does come in handy." He says, soon resealing her as he takes a couple of samples. He then looks at the other container, seemingly interested in it. "Those villagers are acting strange…could it be viral or something else?" Kabuto ponders with a small smile. "Best do some tests when I return." He says and seals the container away in a scroll.

Time passes, Itachi and Kisame had extracted the remains of the Lesser Shukaku into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Their leader isn't pleased and informs them to continue as usual, telling them that they would probably best capture some of their targets and keep them captive till the Two Tails is reborn.
Naruto has been passing the time, mostly doing missions with his now five man team of Captain Yamato, Naruto, Hinata, Ili and Sai. They accomplished an unusual grave robbing incidence (Twelve Guardian Ninja), having taken several loses by the terrorist group that tried to destroy the Leaf. Naruto has been training with his elemental training, having learn he's actually a Wind user, but already having a few Earth Jutsu under his belt which made it easier to understand. He had met a trainee monk known as Sora, having calmed him down and let him travel the world.
Naruto thought he was an unusual guy, but liked that they had some connection. Though Naruto was sad when he came to the conclusion that Sora will suffer the same things Jinchuuriki has when they're involved. If or when Sora were to reproduce, he'd most likely face the horror of watching them turn into a creature that Naruto knew all too well.
Naruto even faced a robotic version of himself during his training. However, the Mecha Naruto was much softer against Naruto's head, so he did damage it a little, unsure as to how it became an ally. The village suffered from a bit of damage, but not too many loses which surprised a few and they disposed of the remains as best as they could. Danzo however removed the remains and kept in his Root base for testing.

Kakuzu and Hidan just destroyed a large section of the Fire Temple, having taken a few corpses, one of which was Chiriku, friend of Asuma and former Ninja Guardian. Kakuzu wrote a few choice notes into a note pad he kept with him, calculating the sum of money they'll receive while Hidan finishes his rituals. They slowly finish off their things, a swear word and some 'I'll kill you moments'. Hidan rips his spike out of his chest and takes a moment to bass in the glory of the destruction and killing they did.
Kakuzu stands up, soon having threads coming out of his back and shoulders. They lower down and stab into the corpses and pulling them to him. The corpses dangle there, some blood dripping onto his cloak as he gets ready to leave. Hidan coughs a little, heading for the gate, but stops and raises an eyebrow. Kakuzu looks as well, soon seeing a teenage boy with dull blueish-grey hair. They boy is wearing standard monk clothing and is severely bandaged up, his eyes wide with shock.
"Looks like we missed one." Hidan chuckles, smirking a little and holds out his three bladed scythe.
Kakuzu nods and shrugs. "Don't waste too much time." He says, but he soon notices a chakra spike and a sudden gust of wind. He looks, seeing the boy covered in a reddish-black chakra cloak forming round him. Kakuzu narrows his eyes, recognising the chakra slightly and becomes confused. "The Nine Tails?" Kakuzu wonders aloud, seeing the boy closely, but he certainly wasn't the Nine Tails Jinchuuriki.
Hidan also notes this as well and looks at Kakuzu. "What's the big fucking deal!?" Hidan calls, getting confused.
"It might be another small case of the Nine Tails leaking out. Maybe something similar to the Gold and Silver Brothers."
Hidan nods at this, looking at the tails rapidly form behind the Pseudo-Jinchuuriki. "So do we kill him?"
"…No, Pain said to take everything we could. That includes lesser Jinchuuriki, in case we fail like we did with the Two Tails." Kakuzu tells his partner, now taking a step towards Sora and dropping the corpses. "Let's make this quick, should only take just a minute."
"Fuck you Kakuzu! I'm making it last a minute and one second!" Hidan laughs and charges towards Sora who launches at the two.

Within the the Hiden Leaf village. The Hyuga compound is quiet, considering that Ili is within the compound. Naruto lays on a still flattened bed. He smiles a little as he holds onto Hinata, feeling all fresh for training. He rolls his head, seeing Hinata laying by him, breathing softly and smiles a little. He had somehow gotten Hinata in the habit of sleeping in her underwear with him. He sees her pure white skin, her large breasts raising and falling with her breathing. He lifts himself up, winking slightly from pain from yesterday's training. He smiles as he leans forward and kisses her softly, hearing her moan and sees her eyes open as he breaks the kiss. "Morning sunshine." Naruto whispers and brushes some of her hair from her face.
Hinata smiles and gently brushes the tips of her fingers in his hair and leans up and kisses him. "Morning Naruto." Hinata whispers, having stopped kissing him, but her lips brushes his as she spoke.
Naruto holds her close and kisses her, leaning down and feels her chest pressed against his as his fingers move through her hair. They move their lips against each other, soon breaking to breathe and a small saliva trail between their mouths. They soon kiss each other again and their mouths open, having their tongues explore each other's mouths, enjoying each other's taste.
Naruto continues this, but soon feels the hairs in the back of his neck stand up, but not from this. Naruto breaks the kiss, looking up and looks round, unsure why, but he feels somewhat uneasy and Hinata lets out a disappointed noise. She soon notices Naruto's confused gaze and tilts her head slightly. "Naruto…are you alright?" Hinata asks, gaining an uncertain nod from Naruto.
"Y-Yeah…" Naruto says, feeling danger, but not from here, from somewhere else. "I…I best be off. Otherwise Yamato may do his creepy stare." He says and quickly rolls out of bed.
Hinata moans in disappointment and sits up, rubbing the warm spot where Naruto was. She watches him quickly dress himself and leans over to kiss her. She smiles a little from the quick kiss and sees him hurry out and sighs in sadness. She quickly gets out and dresses, aiming to do some training of her own and brings Ili along to train with her.

Sai stands inside the Root headquarters, looking at Danzo as he looks through the reports before him. "So he's training…nothing more?" He asks and looks through the reports some more.
Sai nods, having talked with Naruto for some time and found him interesting. He did leave out some information about the Pseudo-Jinchuuriki. "Yes, Lord Danzo."
Danzo just stares at the boy, his eyes closed and waves him off. Sai nods and walks away, looking down and seeing metal parts of the Mecha robots that they managed to salvage, having some traces of the Kyuubi's chakra still in it. Sai did feel somewhat unnerved from what he felt, but his face didn't show it. He vanishes into the dark corridors, planning on reading some more and meet with his teammates.

Several miles away, in the Land of Waves. Zabuza sits at his desk, looking through some paperwork and seems somewhat confused. He looks up, looking at a small cloaked figure. "So you want me to do this mission?" Zabuza asks in confusion.
"Yeah." The cloaked person says with a young voice, but sounds a bit rough. "Just a simple investigation job. Go in, see what's going on, and apprehend any unusual people you find. Just see what they're doing before taking them." They say, rubbing his small, pale hands together to get some warmth.
"It's closer to the Leaf village's jurisdiction." Zabuza tells him, standing up which shows that he's twice the size of the person. "Though I am curious to why you want a specific team to follow through with this mission."
The younger person chuckles. "I heard such good things." He tells him, sitting down and looks at him carefully. "I'm offering you the job, it'll be worth your while." He says and chucks a small sum of money on the table. "It's easy to find if you know the location. A large river, in the centre of the woods, bordering the Sound, Fire and Hot Water Nation."
Zabuza sighs and wonders over to the window, looking out and seeing his village, and the Great Naruto Bridge in the distance. "I keep feeling you're withholding information to me boy."
The smaller one shrugs. "Isn't that the Shinobi way, keeping stuff to yourself?" He asks, leaning back and his joints click. "It's an easy mission that will benefit a lot of people if you accept it."
Zabuza sighs and looks at the man, his eyes staring at the person's figure carefully. "If I accept this, and something bad happens. I will personally show you what an actual demon is." Zabuza warns, walking back to his desk and his hand brushing the Executioner's Blade which rests next to it.
The person nods and sits forward. "I'm sure you will." He says with a small smile. "So will I be expecting Team Haku, or not?"
Zabuza looks at him, nodding as he looks over the papers once again and takes the small sum of money. "This isn't all of it." Zabuza tells him, gaining a nod.
"The rest will come when the job is complete. But I'm sure you'd be happy with re result." He tells her, chuckling a little. "I'll stay here, so if anything goes wrong, you can kill me personally." Zabuza nods and smirks a little, leaning forward and the two talk more about the details.
Sleepless D: Hope you liked it, more to come. Peace out.
