LS67: Hello and welcome to another edition of NTS! I'm proud to state that this will be the end of the first part of the Exam. I know, in canon the first exam was only like one episode, BUT my exams are much more in depth and much more dangerous :P
Sakura: Why do you hate me so much?! I have at least one or two votes in the Favorite Character poll; meaning two people like me.
LS67: I really wanna know who those people are... I mean do they like bitches, or maybe they like the canon Sakura and are waiting for me to make you more like her and not a bitch 24/7. To me, you are a bitch 24/7 though and I'm not fond of bitches.
Angel: Naruto, in the second exam... You...
Naruto: Uh... Ok... What do you mean second exam, me?
Angel: Imma make you man... Second exam... You...

"Naruto kun, I'm glad to see you're well." Fuu says, the Nanabi's youki slowly healing her sore body. Like a whisper in the wind, the blonde Jinchuuriki vanishes and reappears behind her, embracing her sensually. He leans close to her ear, giving it a tender kiss.
"I could say the same to you. I felt Nanabi's youki miles away; I had to make sure no one would take you away from me." Naruto says, loving the way Fuu's body felt in his arms; so soft and yet firm. Fuu couldn't help but melt in her fellow Jinchuuriki's arms. His touch always seemed to heat, her otherwise, cold heart and body. Everything seemed perfect, until she caught a scent; it was faint, but there.
"Why do you smell like a wet cat?" Fuu asks, shoving Naruto off of her roughly. She knew that scent anywhere, the nerve of this guy!
"Wet cat is a bit harsh. I prefer a damp log, anyway that's not important. What is important, is that these Taki nin violated the terms of our agreement. It is my duty, as the future clan head of the Alexandros clan, to make an example of them before the world. Any agreement made by the Alexandros clan is final." Naruto says with the full authority entitled to him. Even though Fuu was pissed he saw Angel before coming to see if she was alright, the clan always came first. The Alexandros clan was more than just a title, it was a family, a union.
"Well your clan duty has no bearing here; this is the Chunin Exams." Neji says, making sure to block Naruto and Dontez' from the Taki corpses; they were his kills after all.
"Neji is right Naruto san. In the field of battle, the killer is allowed to decide the fate of his victims." Lee says sagely.
"Why don't we just let Fuu decide. No one has even asked her how she is or how she came to be trapped in the first place. Fuu is a strong Kunoichi and no ordinary shinobi could capture." Tenten declares, placing a kind hand on her shaken teammate. It was only then did the males pay attention to Fuu, she was shaken from fright.
"Fuu chan, what's wrong?" Naruto asks, subconsciously activating his Shingan, gazing into her trembling soul. The once fierce oasis dissolved into a mere dripping pond.
"Let's just get out of here alright? It's not safe here." Fuu says, her eyes darting every which way, following some phantom beneath them.
"You're all dead..." one of the Taki Genin gasps, catching everyone's attention. Even though his throat had several puncture holes, he still manages to let out a raspy, bloody, laugh. His eyes turn red, then literally burst in spray of blood and eye matter. Inside the darkest part of his eye sockets a red dot rests. With his Shingan activate, Naruto can see inside the red dot, is a small man, with a vicious smile.
"It's him..." Fuu says ghastly. The color drains from her once bronze skin, her shivers give her goosebumps. From the Taki Genin's eyes, two brown cylinders ooze out like pudding. Once they hit the ground, they coil around and form two piles. The stench they gave was foul, like rotten flesh.
"Ah Kami what is that?" Tenten asks, having to use a thick clothe to be able to breath. The stench even has a fume to it, a toxic aura. Naruto didn't really know what to do, never had he seen anything this sick in his life.
"You ain't seen nothing yet." A voice bubbles from the pile of brown matter. With that said, a beam of red light shoot from the center of the coil, forcing it to unwind upward. The more it unwinds, the wider it gets, causing the gathered shinobi/kunoichi to scatter away. Inside the now wide beam of red, before everyone present and the millions watching all around the globe, a man was constricted layer by layer. First the epithelial tissue, then the connective tissue, then the muscle tissue and nerve tissue. Then the skin formed the epidermis layer, the dermis layer, the subcutaneous layer. Then the organ systems developed the Skeletal system, bone by bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Before long, the one and only Axel appears in the center of the chaos, a tranquil smile on his face.
"It's so good to see you children." Axel says, his presence alone has an aura of oppression and doom. Dontez couldn't believe his eyes, "You're real?"
"I'm glad to hear your folks still speak of me. I hope it they told you all the gruesome things I did under the name of this great clan. How many people I slaughtered and turned into my own army of the dead; cliche I know, but hey it gets the job done. Well it almost did, until that bitch Amira came into the picture." Axel says darkly, reminiscing the glory days of life, before he had to start stealing people's skins to survive. Meanwhile, every Alexandros in the Exams could feel Axel's evil presence; it literally made their skins crawl. Without warning, Angel and Roland leave their teams for the more pressing matter at hand.
Naruto vanishes in a whirlwind, when he reappears, he has his Jetstream in hand, ready to slash Axel's throat wide open; even using the wind from his Shunshin to add fuuton chakra to his blade.
Naruto was surprised how easy it was, his Jetstream cut through his windpipe like a hot knife through snow, blood splashes all over his face. Axel's corpse flails for a second, before it fails with a thud. "You fate has been sealed..."
"Well that was weird." Naruto says, taking out a clothe to clean his dagger first. Dontez can't shake the feeling something was off. He knew the legends of Axel, his parents spoke of him as evil incarnate; literally.
"Axel is Apollo dono's alter ego of evil. Everyone, even Higher Beings, have evil within them; darkness in the pit of their souls. His was so great, he shed it from himself and cast it to the darkest of realms in shame. It allowed him to become the man he is today." Dontez explains in hand signs to Naruto and Fuu.
"Fuu chan, you have to tell us what happened. How were you sealed within the insect jar?" Naruto asks, after wiping his face of the blood. Like Dontez, the blonde Jinchuuriki felt unease about the whole thing. Even he knew of Axel from times his mother told him.
"Amazing display of speed Naruto san! I hope to match, if not outdo, your display! If I can not do so, I will swim to the island!" Lee declares, his eyes burning with determination! Tenten face palms herself at the ridiculousness of declaration, while Neji decides to follow his instincts and activates his Byakugan...!
"There's something wrong here. I can see his blood spill, but it seems to be leaking towards the bodies of the Taki nin." Neji says, holding back the urge to vomit at the sight. It was like the blood was a parasitic worm, crawling to a new host.
"Burn the blood!" Dontez yells, firing several C1 Dumplings and miniature rockets at Axel's corpse. The body is lit up in a big blast of gore. Understanding why his blood was dangerous, Naruto unseals a jug of Saikoo's Fire Wine and takes a swig, before he sits out a stream of flaming wine at the running blood. To everyone's horror, the blood literally rises off the ground and darts out of the way of the burning wine. The remaining wine in his mouth spills from his dropped jaw. Snapping out of it, he takes another swig and spits another stream of fire at the fleeing blood.
"Too late..." Axel says, his blood drops on the body of a Taki nin and completely consumes him in his image. The once dead clan traitor rises once more; showing everyone why he earned the title of Skin Crawler.
"You'd be surprised how many good bodies people foolishly bury in the ground, inside containers to keep them preserved no less. There is so much the human flesh reveals about a person. It is the shell their souls wore, it has remnants of that. That means all it's skills, knowledge, genetics; everything all in the skin and organs." Axel explains, before his eyes roll in the back of his head and back to reveal a fully matured Sharingan.
"I wish the Uchiha was here to see this. I'd love to see his rage, the sheer wrath in his red eyes. Especially since these are the eyes of his dead father; his skin was perfect." Axel says with sick glee. Though he couldn't see or hear it, the ex Alexandros clansman could practically feel the outrage and hatred of those watching in Konoha. Not wanting to give the man any time to use the accursed kekkei genkai, Naruto tosses the jug of fire wine at Axel, some of its contents spill and splash all over Axel, causing him to burst in flames.
"Mwhahahahaha! AHhahahahahaha the sheer intensity of fire is mind numbing!" Axel yells over the roaring flames, burning his flesh to a black crisp. The sight was truly frightening to see, a man being burned alive and taking bliss in it, instead of agony. Soon his body is nothing more than smoldering ash, blowing in the sea wind. Something didn't feel right though...
"That was too easy... Again..." Naruto says, sensing Axel's presence, but not being able to pinpoint the location. Suddenly, the blood from his clothe begins to tremble, before it expands into a net of blood, that easily consumes Naruto's entire body.
"Naruto kun!" Fuu screams, remembering what the strange blood had done to her. Running over to the blonde, she tries to tear the blood net off him, but only succeeds in trapping herself. Both Jinchuuriki scream in agony, the tainted blood slowly drains them of both chakra and blood.
"You can call this my Kekkei genkai if you like. I like call it Blood Release (Chiton), though where I'm from, it's called Hex magic; a type of curse that effects physical matter. In my case, it effects blood and skin, I can completely consume a person's soul through their blood and use them as my own!" Axel's voice declares, followed by maniacal laughter. He wanted everyone to see what he was capable of; to be feared by all Shinobi Nations; especially once he truly cut loose. That laughter stopped once he realized he couldn't feel anything coming from the two Jinchuuriki; no blood, no chakra.
"You didn't think father and mother would send me into a world with you roaming around and NOT teach me a few fuuin to combat you did you? Silly man, pay for your arrogance!" Naruto says, even inside the pod of, iron filled, blood, he unseals a human heart, that reacts to the surrounding blood. Even Axel was made to fear, the heart beats and pumps the blood inside of it swiftly. Before long, Fuu is released from the shrinking blood net and half of Naruto was also freed. Sensing his doom, Axel releases Naruto completely and stretches over to Team Guy.
"I will not be sealed so easily boy!" Axel yells, aiming to consume Lee, but Dontez intercepts, his left arm covered in C2 and in the form of a cannon.
"C2 Cannonbolt!" Dontez roars, placing his right hand on the cannon and pumping it with more C2. With a burst of Bakuton chakra, the cannon rapid fires cannonball after cannonball at Axel's blood, but to his horror, Axel slinks around the cannonballs, lands on the ground and slivers over to Lee. With nothing to detonate them, the cannonballs continue towards Naruto,
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough! (Fuuton: Daitoppa)" Naruto roars, unleashing a squall of wind upward, thrusting the cannonballs into the sky and causing them to explode; like signal fire.
"Don't let it touch you Lee! Neji don't even think about using the Gentle Fist; he's like a chakra parasite in that form! He'll easily ride you chakra bursts and make a nest in your body. Tenten, I know Evangela said not to, but use your gun NOW!" Dontez orders. Both Neji and Lee dash away from the blood, both at a high disadvantage. Tenten eagery pulls out a golden scroll and unseals her most powerful and deadly weapon, a Henrion, Dassy & Heuschen Revolver; a 20 shot revolver. With one pull of the trigger, 20 bullets were shot in mad succession at the blood, that was almost completely blown to bits.
"When the FUCK did you get that? I thought Evangela gave you a damn pistol?!" Dontez yells, seeing that gun had really scared the shit out of him; women should never have that kind of firepower. It was just a scary sight to see man.
"Oh this, well Evangela kaasan gave me the pistol in public, but gave me this baby in private. The rule was applied to this gun, I just never really brought out the pistol unless I had to. I think in this situation, the revolver was called for." Tenten says, giving the hot gun a tender kiss on the barrel.
"Note to self: Never piss Tenten off... Ever..." All of the guys think at once. A gun can fire more bullets faster than ANY shinobi or kunoichi can throw AND hit their mark faster. Even with Tenten's assault, some droplets of blood survive, now almost too small to see. Fuu couldn't do much with her suiton jutsus; doing so could wash the blood away and then they'd be sitting ducks. Thanks to that damn insect jar, the Nanabi's youki was currently cut off; she also didn't want that man to get a hold of such power. Still, she had her doton jutsus, unsealing a huge scroll from her back, Fuu unravels it, unleashing a huge dust cloud that blankets the entire ship. Everyone aboard, alive, begins to cough and hack out the dirt from their lungs.
Rat (Ne)! "Earth Release: Bedrock Coffin (Doton: Ganban Kyuu)" Fuu chants, using the dirt to form multiple sections of hardened dirt and literally crushes the blood flat.
"Anyone know any katon jutsu?" Fuu asks, holding the Rat sign to keep her jutsu active; knowing that this alone wasn't enough to kill the man. Dontez answers by going through some hand seals.
Tiger (Tora), Bird (Tori)! "Fire Release: Great Flames Flower (Katon: Gooenka)!" Dontez chants, jumping in the air and shoots three giant bullets of fire that come down like giant meteors. Once they hit the Bedrock coffins, they erupt into a geyser of flame, causing the ship to begin to burn. Thinking swiftly, Naruto whirlwind (Senpuu) shunshins around the ship, checking each of the Taki corpses for any valuables; finding four map pieces among them, a few fuuin scrolls and some ryu. Not like they needed it and it would just burn with their bodies anyway.
"Our ship isn't that far from here we should... Agh!" Lee starts, but to everyone's horror, a drop of Axel's blood gets on Lee. The blood then begins to consume Lee, darkening his skin to a roasted brown, but other than that he remains the same.
"Mwhahahaha! Ah yes this body is a perfect match for Uchiha blood!" Axel says, through Lee's body. Lee's once kind eyes are replaced with a mad, swirling, sharingan. His back turned the roaring flames and the cremation of the Taki nin. Removing his leg weights, Axel tosses them into the water, resulting in a mighty clap of water.
"Oh did I forget to mention I can add the abilities I gained from others into any body I enter? My bad, allow me to show you just how fucked you all are. I'm well aware of your friend's inability to use jutsus, but that's fine with me. I prefer to beat my enemies with my own hands and watch their blood spew forth like a mighty geyser." Axel says, taking up the Strong Fist stance with his Sharingan ablaze.
"You are truly a disgusting individual. Not even a failure like Lee deserves to have his body taken. I will rid him of you, Axel!" Neji declares, rushing the possessed Lee with his trademark palms of fury.
"First Gate: Gate of Opening, Release!" Axel declares, unleashing the First Gate and utilizing 100% of Lee's muscles and moving at speeds that Neji can barely keep up with. With one mighty upward kick, Neji is launched into the air. While on the ground, Axel unravels his arm clothe and vanishes in a burst of speed.
"Shadow of the Dancing Leaf!" Axel chants, following Neji in the air and matching his movements much like a leaf dances in the wind. Once positioned behind Neji, Axel wraps Neji's body in the clothe and begins to pile-drives them into the ground head first while rotating at a ferocious speed.
"Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven (Hakkeshoo Kaiten)!" Neji says, using Axel's on rotation against him by unleashing chakra from every chakra point in his body. The resulting dome forces Axel off of Neji and sent crashing into the seas. Once Neji lands on the burning ship, he dashes overboard and races to where his team and Naruto and Dontez were; on Team Alexandros' ship.
"Second Gate: Gate of Healing, Release!" Axel roars, rising from the water, in an explosion of water, and punches him square in the face. Not giving the Hyuuga genius time to recover, Axel unleashes a series of punches and kicks at him, more than a few hitting home. Neji tries to go on the offensive with his Gentle Fist, but Axel easily weaves through them; being able to see them coming with his Sharingan. Axel strikes with mighty kicks, followed by elbow strikes and swift jabs that Neji couldn't help to keep up with. His once gorgeous face was lumped up and bruised.
"Lee's never been able to land this many hits on me! Not only that, but I can't even lay a single finger on him!" Neji rants to himself, increasing both his speed and chakra output to try to get just one hit on his possessed teammate. Grabbing the Hyuuga by the wrist, Axel makes to snap it in two, but a sudden dropkick from Angel sends him skipping across the water like a stone before he sinks underwater.
"Neji, I want you to get Tenten neechan out of here. This is an Alexandros clan matter." Angel says, never taking her eyes off of where Axel went. Neji snarls at her, never once dropping his Gentle Fist stance.
"That's the second time your clan has tried to pull rank with my team! One of your accursed clansmen has possessed the body of my teammate and I, for one, will not abandon him in his time of need." Neji declares.
"We don't have time for your bullshit Neji! Axel is a Skin Crawler, he can literally take over your blood with just single drop of blood; as I'm sure you've seen. He cannot, however, take over the body of an Alexandros clansmen. All you two are doing is making things harder for us. You're both potential hosts for him and then we won't be able to kill him." Angel explains, before she back flips onto the ship. Joined by Roland, who stands next to his twin.
"It's been a while since we've fought as one hasn't it?" Roland asks his fellow clansmen. Each member smirks, knowing that whenever they were together; it always meant shit was going down. Neji was conflicted with the turn of events. Did he want to run the risk of becoming a meat puppet to that psychopath or run like a coward? The choice was made for him, when Tenten appears next to him and places a hand on his shoulder.
"I know it's tough Neji, but we're only in their way. We have to let them handle this, I'm sure they'll free Lee from that sicko." Tenten says, before they both shunshin to their own ship not too far away. Axel rises from the water and instead of going after the Alexandros clansmen, stands on top of the water.
"Third Gate: Gate of Life, Release!" Axel roars, the increased blood flow not only increases Axel's influence over Lee, but turns the boy's kin red as veins start to bulge from the stress of the increased power. Sensing the increase in power, Angel uses Swift Release: Shadowless Flight (Jinton: Mueishoo) to move at very fast speeds to try to stop Axel, but the possessed Lee can see her clearly and back hands her away from him. The blonde kunoichi skips across the water, before she rights herself.
Fourth Gate: Gate of Pain, Release!" Axel roars, a green aura spills off Lee's body, two streams of chakra twist and spiral around him, more veins bulge from his body.
"Fifth Gate: Gate of Viewing, Release!" Axel roars, unlocking the final Gate that Lee can open. The water beneath him twists under his feet, the outburst of chakra causes waves to rock team Alexandros clan ship. In a display of speed, Axel disappears before reappearing in front of Naruto and Dontez.
"The lotus is in full bloom!" Axel says, some of Lee's personality coming out for the briefest of seconds. With that, he uppercuts both boys into the air and begins to strikes them around the air at inhuman speeds. Both boys look like rag dolls, being tossed and beaten around by Axel's newfound strength. Wrapping both boys into a bundle, he pulls them close to him.
"Reverse Lotus!" Axel roars, slamming one fist and one foot into both teens's torso. Upon impact, Naruto bursts into a squall of wind and Dontez explodes, both resulting in a huge gust of fire and smoke. Too close to dodge, Axel feels the full force of the explosion and the strain from unleashing so many gates. He leaves Lee's body, before the boy can even hit the ship. Still, he has more than enough of Lee's blood and chakra to make a solid body for himself.
"Tiger (Tora), Ox (Ushi), Dog (Inu), Tiger (Tora)! "Lava Release: Hot Blood Stream (Yooton: Atsui Ketsuryuu)!" Axel chants, spewing a stream of red hot lava at Roland, who stands his ground. Before the lava can touch him, a wall is made from the hull of the ship defenses him from the lava. Once the lava touches the wall, it explodes clouding Roland in a veil of black smoke. Appearing in a Jinton shunshin, Angel aims a vertical slash across Axel's neck, but the man back flips to evade, only to flip right into a Bakuton charged fist by Dontez. Once his fist connects with Axel's back, a plume of smoke reveals a log, that Dontez reduces to splinters.
"That Lee kid had some pretty good blood. Very rich in taijutsu." Axel says, taking up the Strong Fist stance and rushing Dontez, the best in his class at Taijutsu. Using his Sharingan, Axel easily dodges the boxer like jabs Dontez throws and plants several elbow strikes and kicks on Dontez, who grimaces at the power behind each him. Axel attempts a low spin kick, that Dontez jumps over and aims a kick at his head, but Axel easily catches it. Sending Bakuton chakra to his leg, Axel quickly lets go of him, before a burst of chakra erupts from it. Before Axel can cock back his fist, a spiritual hook coils around his arm and pulls him towards Roland. Once he was within range, Roland stabs Axel in the chest, but instead of blood, smoke is his reward.
"Kage Bunshin?" Roland asks shocked, before he feels a presence behind him. Turning around, he pulls out a kunai and clashes with Axel, who was moments away from skewing the boy with his own kunai. Before anything else can be done, the kanji for explode appears beneath Axel, unleashing a geyser of an explosion on him. When the explosion recedes, a burnt log is left in his place. The minute Axel's feet touches the ground, another kanji appears and explosions rock the boat, with Axel fleeing from them. Appearing in a whirl of lightning, Angel readies her dagger to cut Axel's head clean off, but Axel ducks under the swipe, grabs her by the face and slams her on top of the kanji just as it explodes.
"Angel chan!" Naruto roars, throwing his Invisibility Cloak off and dashing towards Axel with his Jetstream in one hand and Tanto in the other. Once the explosion was over, Axel stands with a badly burned Angel in his hand, before he tosses her to Naruto, who catches her easily.
"Didn't your father tell you about the time I possessed his body and almost killed Amira's mother before she was even born? I guess not, but I was able to learn a thing or two from him. Like this, Explosion Release: Big Bang! (Bakuton: Bigguban!)" Axel roars, slamming both hands on the ship and filling it with his own tainted bakuton chakra. From within the ship, Dontez is shocked when he feels the signs of his ship about to explode. Rising from the hull of the ship,
"Get off the ship!" Dontez warns, before he and his fellow Alexandros members, along with Lee flee the glowing ship as it explodes in a huge mushroom cloud of destruction. Appearing a safe distance away, Fuu summons two of her water bugs for the Alexandros gang to safely travel on. The other one she places Lee on and sends it back to Team Guy. Naruto lays Angel down, who is still conscious, but badly burned.
"There's... Some cream... Sealed in on my right hip..." Angel gasps, talking through the intense pain she felt. It was bad enough she was only at 60% when she began fighting him. Following her instructions, Naruto unseals the burn ointment and gently applies it to her skin, causing Angel to flinch every now and then. Suddenly, two arms made of wood rise from the seas, grabs Kyuubi, in his scroll form and Nanabi, through the jar on Fuu's back and returns to the water. To Naruto's shock, Kurama doesn't unleash any of his youki, nor does the Nanabi.
"Mokuton, courtesy of the Shodai Hokage himself. You can't see it from the sea's depths, but I have suppressed the Bijuu's chakra with the Hokage Style Sixty-Year Old Technique: Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss Bringing Hands (Hokage-Shiki Jijun Jutsu: Kakuan Nitten Suishu)." Axel says, from the palms of his hands, the kanji for 'Sit' appears, with strings of chakra coming out of his palms and into the sea. Making a Mokuton Bunshin, to hold the jutsu, Axel rises on top of the water and stands there. For once in their lives, Fuu and Naruto couldn't rely on their Bijuu; and they didn't like it. Fuu stands on the water and skates across it towards Axel, once within range, she launches a twirling spin kick at Axel, who jumps over it and slams his heel into Fuu's head. Once the heel makes contact with her head, she bursts into water and tries to surround him, but Axel just absorbs it into himself, like a tree does water.
Before he can celebrate, Naruto appears next to him, his tanto ready to cut him in half, but Axel slinks out of the way, but Naruto follows up with a vertical slash from his Jetstream. Adding fuuton chakra to his dagger, the blade unleashes a slashwave of wind, that Axel dodges by stopping the flow to his feet and sinking in. Once he's underwater, Axel grabs Naruto's ankles and pulls him under, connecting the blonde with the roots to his Mokuton Bunshin and drags him deep underwater. Seeing the bubbles on the surface, Fuu dives down, along with Roland while Dontez stays to treat Angel. Once underwater, the two are assaulted by Axel's inhuman speed underwater, the man swims back and forth between the two hitting them with enough force to knock them further down each time.
Having had enough of drowning, Naruto forms one of his Wind Shuriken underwater, swiftly forming a whirlpool, that frees him from his restraints and draws Axel inside the powerful vortex. Using the fuuton chakra in his body, Naruto makes three air bubbles and sends two over towards Fuu and Roland, who both eagerly gasp in the air. Channeling suiton chakra to her feet, Fuu jets herself into the whirlpool, swimming with the intense currents of the pool, where Axel slowly reaches the tip. With a mighty punch to his torso, Fuu sends Axel racing to the tip of the whirlpool, only for him to poof into smoke.
"When Naruto kun's not using it, that gets pretty annoying..." Fuu says to herself. She'd sweat drop if she could, with that she decides to return to the surface, along with Naruto and Roland. The three felt, more than heard, the battle being waged on the surface. Once they surfaced, they bare witness to Axel vs Dontez. It was strictly a nintaijutsu battle, Dontez unleashing a melee of jabs and kicks laced with C1, while Axel uses raw bakuton chakra to give his counters an explosive edge. Dontez throws out a snap kick, that Axel easily catches before he slams a bakuton chakra filled fist into his chest, sending him crashing into the sea. Before the three Alexandros clansmen can even rise from the water, three Axel's appear out of smoke and kicks them in the face with bakuton chakra, sending them soaring into the air.
"Gate of Opening, Release!" the Axels chant as one, unlocking the restrictions on their muscles and going 100%.
"Shadow of the Dancing Leaf!" the Axels chant, before they appear behind Naruto, Fuu and Roland. Naruto tries to do some hand seals, but one of the Axels clutches him tightly and begins to spin, followed by the other Axels.
"Front Lotus!" the Axels chant as one, spinning at such velocities that all sense seemed to spin right out of their brains. Like a drilling missile, the six of them spiral and crash in the water, causing small whirlpools to form from the rotation. Angel could only watch in horror, none of them seemed strong enough to stop the Skin Crawler; it seemed all for nothing.
"Angel, Angel, Angel." Axel mocks, before he picks her up by the back of her head. Angel tries to struggle, much to Axel's annoyance. Resistance was pointless, their deaths were coming.
"The future of the Alexandros clan, its only female member of this generation. So much to inspire to, let alone live up to. Too bad it all ends here. Lava Release..." Axel starts with a wicked smile on his face. Angel can feel the heat begin to build and burn her scalp, but she doesn't scream. Naruto resurfaces with a gasp, his head pooling blood. Falling at those speeds, head first, would have snapped his neck, if not for all the youki the Kyuubi used to reinforce it; still hurt like all hell though. With all the chakra and strength her burnt body could muster,
Rat (Ne)! "Swift Release Armour (Jinton no Yoroi)!" Angel chants mentally. Jinton chakra flares from her entire body, before it forms a oval shell of whirlwinds and lighting streaks around her body.
"Molten Burial (Yooyuu Maisoo)!" Axel chants. From his hand, lava pools out and coats all around the shell, encasing it in solid rock. Without a single shred of remorse, he tosses it over his shoulder, before it splashes and sinks into the deep sea. Naruto couldn't hold back the tears that fell from his face. It was like everything just froze and all he could think about was Angel, sinking to the depths of the sea. Then he saw red, deep within his mindscape, he scraps whatever amount of youki he can; allowing his building rage to fuel the malevolent youki. The water around him begins to part the more youki Naruto forces out of his body. It forms a twin tailed fox shroud around him, his features much more feral and wild. Aiming his two tails at his mouth, the blonde converts the tails into both positive black and negative white chakra and gathers it into a ball. Once the ball is compressed it is ingested, his cheeks bulge from the pressure, before he fires a powerful beam out of his mouth, but instead of at Axel, he aims for where the two Bijuu are sealed. A powerful explosion literally blows a hole in the water, where a person can literally see the bottom of the sea. At its depths is ruined ritual totems, a smashed insect jar, and unraveled scroll.
"KYUUBI GIVE ME POWER NOW!" Naruto demands, his rage completely clouding his mind. He couldn't think, he could barely breath due to the building rage inside him. He just wanted to unleash it all on Axel, the man who would dare hurt one of his precious people; one of his future wives no less! Feeling rather generous, the Kyuubi gladly gives Naruto some of his youki, massive volumes of red energy pours from the scroll and enters his body violently. Naruto ignores the pain, in favor of feeding his rage all that power and finally it was unleashed!
"To Become Familiar (Nitsuku Tedzika)!" Naruto growls, before he undergoes his demonic fox (kistune) transformation; almost instantly, expect this time with three tails. One of his tails dives underwater, while the others just wave about wildly. Lowering onto all fours, the blonde kitsune lets out a single growl, before he rockets towards Axel in the blink of an eye; the water behind him splashes wildly. Axel makes no move to dodge, until Naruto is in his face with a wild swipe aimed to cut off his head. With one might swoop, Axel's head is reduced to splinters; revealing him to be a Mokuton Bunshin. Without warning, the beheaded bunshin turns to roots and wraps around Naruto, before it begins to drain the youki from him and turn it into bloody rosebuds.
"Face it boy, your Bijuu won't save you this time. Those rosebuds are converting its youki into Bakuton chakra. Once they reach bloom, they will explode will all the might of a Sanbi Bijuudama! I'd love to see you survive that." Axel says with a sick smirk. Naruto could only stare in shocked horror at the implications. Struggling proves to only drain him quicker, and adding to Axel's sick glee.
"Draining is my thing, poser!" Kisame says, rising from the depths of the sea like a mighty shark; his Samehada already slamming into Axel and sends him crashing in the seas. The shark faced man looks at Naruto, before he frees him with a swing of his blade. Before Naruto can even think of a thanks, Kisame swings his blade across Naruto's chest; shredding not only his flesh, but chakra as well. Samehada eagerly feasts on the boy's chakra.
"Looks like Samehada has found his next favorite treat." Kisame says, walking over to the wounded Jinchuuriki, but before he could claim his prize, Fuu rises from the sea; in her two wings shroud of youki form. Smirking, Kisame slashes her with Samehada and shreds the youki right off of her and devours it.
"Heh won't Deidara and Sasori be pissed I took their Bijuu from them. I even managed to get the Kyuubi, all by myself no less." Kisame says, patting himself on the back, but maybe too soon.
"Leaf Whirlwind (Konoha Senpuu)!" Axel says, launching a succession of high and low kicks, that Kisame blocks with his Samehada.
"You fight like someone I know; something tells me I'm going to really hate you." Kisame says, before he throws Axel off and aims to cleave him into two, only for Axel to pull out twin daggers and uses a x grip to block. Sparks begin to fly, Kisame swinging his massive blade masterfully, while Axel strikes and counters swiftly; neither getting a hit on the other. With their foes distracted, the members of the Alexandros clan make a swift retreat, but not before retrieving the imprisoned Angel...
Later that night...
It had been hours since Team Guy had left their fellow Konoha nin to fight that monster of a man, about 30 minutes after they left, Lee was returned in horrid condition, but alive enough. Now they were miles away from the battle scene, but they still felt the influxes in charka and the near demonic force of energy that ravaged the seas. They were worried for their comrades, until all five Alexandros clansmen rose from the sea and cling to the ship for dear life. Each of them looked on the verge of death, Team Guy didn't know how, but they were determined to make sure they all lived to see another day...
With Sasuke and Sakura...
The two members of Team Seven on one of the many islands surrounding Benisu. They had arrived a few hours ago and have been running, on palm trees, ever since. The moment they set foot on the island, a strange Kusa kunoichi awaited them. She wasted no time and unleashed a wave of tamed killer intent so strong, Sakura was reduced to a crying mess and was easily batted out of the way and knocked unconscious. Fearing for his life, Sasuke piggybacked Sakura and ran for his life. It didn't help the Kusa kunoichi summoned massive snakes for her to ride on.
"You disappoint me, Sasuke kun. Where is your Uchiha Pride, that strength that made them feared throughout the Five Shinobi Nations? Maybe I should go find that Alexandros boy; I'm sure he'd put up more of a fight. You know, the blonde one." the Kusa kunoichi says with sick glee. Something in Sasuke snapped at those words; something that greatly outshines his fear.
"How dare she think Naruto is a better opponent than me?! I'm an Uchiha, my Sharingan wil be the best there is or ever was!" Sasuke roars mentally. His once three tomoe Sharingan grows another tomoe, making it four; two in both eyes. Using the slim trees, Sasuke races to the top and pulls downward on it, just as the Kusa nin is in mid air. Releasing the tip, the tree smacks her into the ground. Before she even hits the ground, Sasuke finishes a series of hand seals with the Tiger sign.
"Fire Release: Uchiha Great Flame Sphere! (Katon: Uchiha Daiendan)!" Sasuke roars, firing two Great Fireballs, that spiral towards the Kusa Kunoichi and combine into one upon impact. Much to the Uchiha's horror, her body melts into mud.
"This beats you running like a rabbit any day." The Kusa Kunoichi whispers in Sasuke's ear, before she gives it a lick and punches him in the face, sending him flying. He tumbles across the ground a few times, before he recovers and looks to see the half of her body melted into the palm tree. From her sleeves, dozens of snakes hiss and slink towards Sasuke, who fires a Great Fireball to fry them, only missing one, who opens its maw to reveal a human hand. The snake regurgitates the Kusa Kunoichi, who rushes Sasuke and plants her foot firmly in his gut, sending the body crashing into a tree. The wind was knocked out of the last Uchiha, but he still manages to dodge a fist to his head, that put a dent into the tree.
A fierce taijutsu battle ensues between them, though it was mostly one sided. Even with his enhanced Sharingan, Sasuke could only keep up with one third of the Kusa Kunoichi's masterfully palm strikes and kicks. With one finally palm thrust to the Solar Plexus, Sasuke is bent over in pain. holding his aching gut. The Kusa Kunoichi smiles, staring over the gasping Uchiha.
"Yes, at my feet and on your knees is very befitting Sasuke kun. I want to see you get stronger though." the Kusa Kunoichi says, before she stretches her neck and sinks her teeth into his neck. Sasuke cries in sheer agony as a strange three whirling mark appears on his neck. With that, the Kusa Kunoichi withdraws her neck and unseals three map pieces.
"Seek me out Sasuke kun. Seek out the power to defeat Itachi..." with that said, she leaves the last Uchiha to suffer...
