"Our existence is built upon the noble sacrifices made. Instead, you fall in battle from trying to protect your subordinates. My subordinates were not simply defeated. They left behind markers for me, on how to carry on the fight. If I had lost, my subordinates' sacrifices would have all been for nothing. I hold within me the resolve of those who sacrificed their lives." - Tia Harribel (bleach)
Arashi couldn't believe what he was seeing the demon in front of him wasn't the Houkou he knew, but of something much more sinister. The energy that radiated off of it was not calming, but chaos it actually felt like destruction was about to take place.
"What the fuck happened to you?" Arashi asked himself, but jumped when he heard someone speak for him.
"You talk as if you know that thing." The man said. Arashi turned around to see he had short spiky hair and wore a forehead protector with no symbol on it. "What's your name?" He said as he looked at him with his brown eyes.
"Arashi Tekiatsu and yours." Arashi said.
"Senken (Ancient Sage) now explain how you know that thing." Senken said as another explosion followed, but right before Arashi could speak a man rounded the rock they were behind.
"We need help this thing is tearing us apart." He said with a huff.
Senken nodded his head then looked at Arashi. "You're coming with me you look like you can handle yourself in a fight." Senken said and all Arashi did was nod his head. Senken clapped his hands together and a giant tree root erupted out of the ground below him and Arashi. It sprang forward heading straight towards Houkou with great speed. Right before it got too close both Senken and Arashi jumped off the root just as Senken put his hands into a tiger seal. The root split into a thousand branches that wrapped themselves around Houkou and pinned him to the ground. The small army of ninja approached Houkou with extreme caution. Houkou simply glared at them as his fire tail began to glow.
Arashi seeing this gave out a warning. "LOOK OUT!" Arashi said, but the people kept walking towards Houkou as if they didn't here him. The area around Houkou immediately burst into flames incinerating all those unlucky enough to get caught up in the inferno.
"Why didn't they listen?" Arashi thought and then heard a voice.
"Because this is nothing, but a memory." Hebitentei said. "You can go along for the ride, but you can't interfere in anyway." And with that his voice dissappered.
After the flames died Senken unleashed a barrage of spikes made out of wood out to try and impale Houkou who simply made a wall of earth to block the attack. Houkou snapped the branches off of him and stood up and unleashed another roar. Senken was forced to dodge just as Houkou placed both his wind and water tails together and unleashed a hailstorm of spear shaped ice at Senken who made a giant tree trunk lurch itself out of the ground and block the shards.
Senken looked towards where Arashi was just standing there as Houkou roared with fury. "What are you doing take cover or fight, but don't just stand there like a rock." Senken said as he placed his hands on the tree trunk and released spears from the wood. That was when they heard another roar that shook the very ground they stood on. Houkou simply stomped on the wood spears and snapped them in half. He looked towards the sound of the roar and snarled as a giant red figure began to appear. A man came running at Senken with a giant gash on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, but we couldn't hold Kyuubi off." He said as he looked at the two beasts looking at each other and growling.
"Then we don't have a choice we have to fall back for now and come up with a new plan." Senken said as he and the other man ran from the scene as fast as they could. Kyuubi growled at Houkou as he began to snarl. The both charged each other at the same time and as soon as they collided Arashi saw nothing, but a white light. When Arashi opened his eyes he found himself standing in front of Houkou the kind Houkou he knew and cared about.
"What was that?" Arashi asked as Houkou sighed.
"Long ago I was the guardian to the Bijuu I kept the item they were all sealed in safe and secure." Houkou said with a sad note in his voice. "But one day I grew arrogant and I left my post. With no one guardian them the Bijuu took the chance and broke free. Now as they were sealed away their hated for me grew day by day. They were angry because a weak demon was preventing them from releasing havoc and chaos on the world and when they were released all they hated spilled out and contaminated me. As a result it turned me into the very thing that I never wanted to be a demon that wanted nothing more then death and destruction. After Kyuubi defeated me and left me for dead all the dark energy in my body dispersed into the ground and created a new creature the one you call Kuronemuri."
"So in a sense you're Kuronemuri's dad." Arashi said with a chuckle at the thought.
Houkou laughed a little as well. "I guess you can see it as that." Houkou said, but almost immediately his happiness was replaced with sadness. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before I thought the less you knew about me the less you would grow attached to me."
Arashi walked up and jumped on Houkou's head while rubbing his ears. "Are you kidding it was like me and you were born to love each other." Arashi said as he laid down on Houkou. "From the first moment I saw you I knew you were going to be my very first friend and I was right. So don't apologize for something that wasn't entirely your fault. Sure you should've stayed with the Bijuu to keep them secure, but we all make mistakes and besides if you didn't leave your post me and you would never had met." Arashi looked down and saw a little bit of happiness in the old demons eyes, but that was soon replaced when a new person entered the domain.
"This is all cute and everything, but me and you still have unfinished business." Hebitentei said with a amused hiss. "Now it's time to answer my question after seeing that memory of Houkou what are you going to do once you capture all the Bijuu once again." Arashi sat there on Houkou's head for a little with a thoughtful look on his face.
"To tell you the truth I'm not entirely sure." Arashi stated with a shrug of his shoulders. "I guess I'll figure it out as I go along." Arashi finished this as he looked directly into the snake's eyes. Suddenly a white light blinded Arashi once again, but this time when he opened his eyes he saw that he was back at the temple with Naruto shaking him.
"Are you alright?" Naruto asked with urgency in his voice.
"Yea, I am, but what happened to Hebitentei." Arashi said as he rubbed the top of his head.
"I'm still here little boy." Hebitentei said. "I may be a demon, but I'm not without honor or pride you answered my question truthfully. So because of that I now give you the item you seek." He said this as his tail wrapped around the jar and carefully brought it over to Arashi. Arashi gripped the jar and found that it was quite light he wrapped a piece of ninja wir around the jar and tied it to his back. "Now run along little rodents before I grow tired of your presence." With that the snake gently moved back into the ceiling.
"We have it Houkou." Arashi said speaking to his demon. "But I have one question how did you keep the Bijuu sealed up."
"Reihoumika was made out of special material that absorbed certain amounts of nature energy to keep what was ever in it sealed up." Houkou said. Before Arashi could ask anymore another giant explosion rocked the temple.
Arashi and Naruto both looked at each other and knew what to do. They both ran for the giant door they used to get in. As they approached the door they found it still sealed shut. Both Naruto and Arashi began to tap into their demon's chakra and soon both had one tail. They both threw a punch at the door and broke threw it, but only left a man size hole. They looked behind them just in time to see the hole repaired. They looked at the scene in front of them and saw the entire forest reduce to ash.
"KIRABI!" Naruto shouted out and was greeted when Kirabi in Hachibi's form was thrown in front of them. Wrapped up in two of its tentacles was both Rokubi no Namekuji (Six Tailed Slug) and Nibi no Bakeneko (Two Tailed Monster Cat) both were limp and looked to be knocked out Kirabi then threw the two atGobi no Irukauma(Five Tailed Dolphin Horse)."
"What took you guys?" Kirabi said as he reverted back to his original form, but before Naruto and Arashi could answer they saw both Nibi and Gobi raise their heads and spit out a dense stream of steam and a giant blue fireball. Kirabi turned around just in time as the steam enveloped him and the fireball smacked into him. Arashi quickly swung his Tenro with some of Houkou's chakra and released his Kaze no Kizu, but thanks to the added power of Houkou's it was a lot bigger. The steam was blown away as the wind blade made a direct line for Gobi and exploded upon impact. Arashi walked over to the three downed Bijuu and almost immediately felt jar start to draw on Houkou's chakra. The top to the jar opened up and releashed what appeared to be tentacles of chakra that enveloped all three of the great beast and sucked them into the jar. Arashi collapsed on the ground with sweat pouring down his face. He turned around to see Kirabi laying on the ground with massive burns all over his body along with various gashes. Arashi walked over to the downed Jinchuriki and found that he was still breathing.
"Come one we need to get him to a hospital NOW!" Arashi said as he picked Kirabi up and began to walk towards the boat with Naruto's help, but the one thing that neither seemed to take notice of was that Reihoumika now had a giant crack that got a little bigger from the stored Bijuu.

Madara was sitting on a pile of bones when Zetsu appeared. "Both Sunagakure and Kirigakure have not done what you requested Madara." Zetsu said with a slight bow.
"Fine send Shukaku to Sunagakure and then let's see if Kirigakure changes their mind." Madara said.
"You still have feelings for one of your old homes." Zetsu said with a snicker. "When will you learn to shut up?"
Madara just looked at him with a calculated eye. "So what news do you have from Izumotaisha."
Zetsu looked a little apprehensive when the question was asked. "Well you see the Bijuu are gone along with the Jinchuriki." Zetsu said and received what could only be described as the coldest stare possible.
"What do you mean gone?" Madara asked in a cold voice.
"I don't know one minute they were there then a flash of light then they were all gone." Zetsu said in the most honest voice he could muster.
Madara just breathed heavily for a few minutes. "It doesn't matter we will find them in do time." Madara said. "They can't hide forever, but until then let's have Shukaku visit his old home and have Sanbi and Yonbi visit Kirigakure."
"So now you decide to attack the village you use to rule over." Zetsu said with a snicker. While Madara just continued to look up at the moon.

Yuki was swinging her sword around practicing her movements when she saw someone on top of a hill, but before she could make him out he vanished. She knocked it off unto the fact of the heat playing tricks with her head. She went to take a drink of water and didn't notice the sand around her moving towards her. She turned around just as the sand rushed at her like a great flood. She didn't have enough time to move, but before the sand reached her Jugo came soaring in with what appeared to be jets out of his back. He grabbed Yuki just in the nick of time and settled down right on the village walls.
"Are you okay?" Jugo asked.
"Yeah I guess practice is over." Yuki said with a smile as the sand began to sprout upwards until it took the form of the Bijuu Shukaku. Right before either Jugo or Yuki could move sand swirled around right next to time until the figure of Gaara appeared with two gourds one his regular sand gourd and the other one filled with water that was a little bit smaller then Gaara's.
"What are you doing here?" Yuki asked in surprise. "I thought we already said that since you have the same ability as Shukaku you two would be at a stand still until one of you ran out of chakra."
"This is my village and I'll die trying to protect it." Gaara said. "Besides you're going to need help against the sand. I can try my best to hold of Shukaku from using his sand ability for as long as I can. As for you two you can try and find a way to bring the giant down until Arashi comes back." Gaara said this as he threw the gourd filled with water at Yuki. "In case you need more water for your Hyōton."
"Thank you." Yuki said as she gave Gaara a nod as she put the gourd on her back and found that it was lighter then she imagined it to be. Shukaku gave off a roar as he slapped his belly and shot out a sphere of wind. Yuki saw that the sphere was moving to fast to dodge, but right before it hit a purple ball of energy hit it with enough force that the two canceled each other out. Yuki looked towards Jugo who had his arm held out with what appeared to be a pipe jutting out the end.
"Arashi sent me here not only to make sure that you got out of the way of Shukaku's sand, but also because I can match Shukaku's Renkūdan (Drilling Air Bullets) power level." Jugo said, but even as he said that Yuki knew he couldn't do that much more as she saw sweat drip from his brow. Yuki looked towards the Bijuu that was now snarling at Jugo as saliva dripped out of its mouth. She swung her sword releasing a wave of ice that turned into a ramp. She ran across the structure as Gaara made a cloud of sand to float on and Jugo took to flying in the sky. Shukaku began to make the sand around him rise to envelop the gang, but before it got within range it was stop by a wall of sand. Shukaku looked at Gaara who had his hands raised blocking Shukaku's sand. Shukaku released a roar and fired off some air bullets at Gaara. Jugo saw this and fired his miniature chakra cannon at them to cancel them out.
"Hyōton: Guncho Tsurara (Ice release: Icicle Flock)." Yuki said as she swung her sword releasing ice in the shape of daggers at Shukaku. The daggers hit Shukaku, but his sand body simply buried the Ice into his body. "We can't hurt him through physical attacks, but if we freeze him we might just be able to keep him contained." Yuki looked at Jugo for conformation and he gave a slight nod of his head.
"We have to hold him off until Yuki is down with what she needs to do." Jugo said. Gaara looked over and saw Yuki mumble a few words as her hand was in a single handsign.
"Hyōton: Tensō Jūrin (Ice release: Subjugation Of The Heavens)." With that a frost began to develop on her body as Gaara could see almost like a straight line of cold air go into the atmosphere. Gaara saw as dark clouds began to form, but before he could ponder what was happening Shukaku released a wave of sand at both him and Jugo. Gaara raised his hands and almost immediately the sand stopped, but Jugo looked and saw sweat began to fall of his face from the strain from keeping the sand at bay. Jugo flew into the sky and could feel as the temperature began to drop. "She's almost done." Jugo thought as he morphed his entire arm into a giant cannon. He aimed it at Shukaku and fired the giant beam of pure chakra at the great beast. The beam passed right through Shukaku and exploded when it hit the ground. Shukaku looked at Jugo and smiled, but when he tried to move towards him he found that he couldn't move.
Shukaku looked down and saw both of his legs frozen in place along with a good mile of area covered in ice. He looked down to see Yuki with her sword stabbed in the ground. She was wearing ice that took the form of some sort of armor.
"I'm afraid this is the end." Yuki said this as she held her sword straight forward. "Hyōton: Sennen Hyōrō (Ice Release: Thousand years' Ice Prison)." At that she turned her blade counter-clockwise and six pillars rose out of the ice circle and slammed into Shukaku with a freezing hiss. Yuki watched as the pillars began to break as Shukaku began to struggle in the icy prison, but Yuki just smiled.
She raised her sword into the air and called out one last Jutsu. "Hyōton: Hyōten Hyakkasō (Frozen Heaven Hundred Flower Funeral)." Yuki said even as the words left her mouth a hole appeared in the dark clouds as snow began to descend. Gaara watched with confused eyes, but not before Jugo grabbed him and flew as far away from the area as possible. Yuki collapsed onto the ground as she watched the snow. Shukaku managed to free one of his arms, but as soon as the snow touched his arm it was frozen. Shukaku let out a roar that shook the ice around him as the snow kept piling on top of him freezing him more and more until nothing remained, but a huge tower that stretched into the sky made entirely out of ice.
Jugo walked down towards Yuki and saw her laying on the ground with a smile on her face as she breathed. "That jutsu always tier's her out." Jugo said as he picked her up and started to carry her into the sand village. He took one last look at the ice pillar and saw Shukaku's golden eye follow him.
"Sure is an ugly little varmint." Kokuei said as he sat right next to the pillar poking at it with a stick. "So you want me to go get big dog."
"No go to Kirigakure and see how Suigetsu is doing." Jugo said. "And if he managed to get his hands on Sanbi tell Arashi so he can go and collect them." Kokuei nodded his head and with one last poke of his stick he disappeared into the shadow created by the pillar.
"Big dog?" Jugo asked himself with a shake of his head with a smile.

Suigetsu was pacing back and forth with an eager smile on his face as he saw shapes move in the deep fog. Next to him was Unabara, Mei, and Chōjūrō.
"Will you please stop Suigetsu you're making me nervous." Chōjūrō said in a quiet voice.
"Listen to yourself and you call yourself a swordsman you are suppose to be battle driven." Suigetsu said, but before any one could answer a giant splash and roar could be heard. Suigetsu drew Samehada with a predatory grin. "Their here." And in the distance they could feel the demonic chakra.
Suigetsu, Unabara, Mei, and Chōjūrō Vs: Yonbi and Sanbi. See who lives and who dies in the next installment. The reason why I made the Shukaku fight short was simple he faced Yuki an ice user who could freeze his sand, Gaara who could stop his sand, and Jugo who could match his wind based Jutsu. Well I hope you all enjoyed.
