Sandaime Kaizouko challenge

.

Zaiho felt hungry this wasn't a new feeling for the Firewill pirate but no matter how much she'd eaten she didn't feel full having eaten a plate of food she wandered out onto the deck hoping Hinata could make her something that would fill her belly

"Hey Hinata" she said when she saw cook Hinata was frowning and pacing "Hinata what's wrong" Hinata looked up noticing Zaiho for the first time "it's Naruto he and Sakura are going to fight to the death"

"WHAT" Zaiho shouted "take me to them and hurry"

.

Naruto stood twenty paces away from Sakura "it doesn't have to be this way Sakura" he said Sakura changed into her hybrid form "yes it does" she growled "Captain" Naruto growled "fine then" he snapped his fingers "fireworks" he called out Sakura watched the fire ducking under it "don't treat me like the rest of the idiots you've fought I know you I know how you fight"

Sakura leapt forward throwing a punch towards his stomach Naruto leapt back Sakura grinned and grabbed him around the neck with his tail pulling him in for a "Cherry blossom crash" nailing Naruto in the stomach a shockwave of power fill the area they fought in

Tenten and Martin were running "that's gotta be the enemy Naruto must be fighting him" Martin nodded "and we'll be there to help the captain if he needs it" Tenten nodded "it's what the firewill pirates do"

Martin tripped and fell on the floor he began to shake "Martin" Tenten called running to his side Martin coughed spitting white blood onto Tenten's shoes "Martin oh no oh no what do I do"

Atlas stepped out of the bushes and walked over to Martin standing on his hind legs then bending to the side he grabbed out a hand or should I say mouthful of herbs then he grinded them up with his teeth putting them in Martins mouth "that will clot the cut in his mouth but I've never seen a disease like this"

"Like what what's wrong with Martin" Tenten demanded of the cub

.

Naruto kicked Sakura in the face then punched her in the stomach sending her sliding back Naruto leapt back "big bang fireworks" he called breathing out a barrage of little fireballs Sakura ducked her ears down turning into her full leopard form she leapt to side and hid in the dark foliage "I learned from my mistakes Naruto just fighting head on helped me a little bit but there's more then that to a fight there's terrain-

Sakura scratched at Naruto's back

-Technique-

in her human form she punched Naruto in the side sending him sliding across the ground before she hid in the darkness again

-and the most important of all"

Sakura leapt out in hybrid form and punched the ground "a brain to put it all together" she called making a massive fissure that sent Naruto flying into a tree "Naruto your a flint man but I'm a leopard woman the leopard is as much a part of me as anything else and to make my dream come true I'll do whatever I have to" her claws came out "even take you down"

.

Zaiho and Hinata ran through the woods to where Sakura and Naruto were fighting "We have to hurry come on"

.

Naruto stood up wiping the blood from his lips "for what it's worth Sakura I'm sorry" he said slowly standing up he then grinned "sorry it took so long for him to show up" Sakura grinned flipping backwards she punched the ground in front of a tree Airies rose up merged with the stone "dang you backstabbing cat how'd you know where I was"

Sakura twitched her whiskers "a leopards whiskers have over 200 sensory cells each plus I remember from our last meeting you smell like cheap booze and fertilizer"

Naruto grinned "yeah took you long enough so your a rock man" Naruto punched his palm a small puff of flame burst from between his fingertips "let's see how long it takes to set earth on fire right Sakura"

Sakura grinned "Couldn't've said it better my self Naruto" she and Naruto both threw punches at Aires the earth man sunk into the ground under their attacks rising up he hit Naruto with a stone mace

"you think you can beat me ME" Aires roared "I'm Sasori's right hand man I can kill you as soon as look at you especially the son of Kushina Uzumaki" Aires raised his long arms stone maces formed at their end and he brought the hammer down

"Terra Unda" Hinata called "Gemini" two waves of earth flew up and hit Aires sandwiching him Hinata and Zaiho walked out ready to fight "the earth is as much my weapon as it is yours" Zaiho nodded "let's see what you can do"

Kurotsuchi and Lee walked out of the woods behind Naruto and Sakura Tenten and Martin followed riding on Atlas in his hybrid form Atlas roared and Naruto grinned "that's so awesome a komodo puma" everyone looked at Naruto with deadpan looks

"ok one puma's are dark brown and two WHAT PART OF THAT LOOKS LIKE A KOMODO DRAGON" Sakura yelled at their captain Aires broke free of the rocks holding him "had you think a few of you can beat me and your brought the devil fruit my commander's spent years looking for after killing that navy doctor"

Atlas roared "you killed my papa I'LL SMASH YOU" he roared shaking Martin and Tenten off and charging "Atlas stop" Tenten said Airies grinned making a giant rock hand he smashed Atlas knocking him down with one hit

"whose next" everyone charged at Aires the pirate bobbed weaved or just hid in the earth to fight them knocking them all away Zaiho was the only one left standing "oh man this'll be great not only will I give the boss everything he wants but the Kaizouhime on a silver platter too oooh wheey you have no idea how happy he'll be"

Aires charged at Zaiho throwing a punch Zaiho stepped to the side "oh you've got haki too man is there anything you can't do" he said his arms became stone and multiplied until there were a dozen arms with a dozen fists connected to his triceps he threw all the punches at once Zaiho bobbed and weaved and tried to block but in the end she was knocked into a tree Airies walked over and grabbed her by the neck

Zaiho grabbed his wrist piercing her nails into his skin but he wouldn't let go "ha nice try but you won't beat me" Aires was going to finish Zaiho when her nails turned black soon every vein on Aires turned black and yellow mist began to pour out of Aires "what kind of devil fruit do you got" he asked terrified

Zaiho began to breathe in the mist and for the first time since she got it spoke the name of her new powers "human human fruit shinigami model" she said breathing in all the mist Aires fell to ground a soulless husk

Zaiho looked at everyone "I'm full"

.

Atlas looked at the Hokage then back to the forests of Kaiza island "papa I'm going away for a little bit but I'm going to be back soon I promise" he ran off towards the Hokage

Sakura stood next to Naruto "so we've got a doctor now think the ships getting too crowded" Naruto ignored her "hey come on I'm making jokes here"

"do I hold you back" Naruto asked "from your dreams do I hold you back" Sakura punched his arm "no way you don't hold me back if it weren't for you Naruto I wouldn't be me anymore I owe you and we're going to make our dreams come true" Naruto nodded "come on I need to show you something"

Naruto led Sakura into his cabin and pulled out a den den mushi "my mom gave it to me so I can always talk to her whenever you want to face the 'tailed beast' it's ready for you"

Sakura nodded "thanks" Naruto left the cabin leaving Sakura alone Sakura pushed on the den den mushi the snail began to dial then clicked

"Hello Naruto kun" Kushina's voice said
