Review Reply Corner:

Pyr00tje: Yoo, Pyr00! Heh, said comment was lil sarcastic, but never mind. Well, this chapter is out pretty fast, I think… Oh well, I hope you enjoy this one as well.

Misu no Yami: Heh, thanks!! I bet you bounce a lot… Heh, thanks for reviewing!

Sirus183: Thanks! If you liked the fighting, here's another fighting chapter for ya! Hope you enjoy!

Dragon89: Well, in this particular book there will be no pairings, only hints, I guess. Here's an update!

Anonymous: Hahaha, how stupid I am! You're right! I need to change that to the normal Byakugan, then.

:D: Yep, yep, it's a war and everybody hurts… Thanks for the review!

DocDragon: Yeah, Sasuke would, wouldn't he? He's so difficult to write about sometimes… Oh well, thanks for reviewing!

Lady Light: Heh, yep, lots and lots of fighting! Here's another chapter of fighting…

FlareofDragon: Heh, well, Orochimaru will be slightly stronger in this chapter, only slightly, heh… Hope you enjoy and thanks for the review!

SilverKnight7: Heh, thanks! Here's the next update!

Stoictimer: Heh, everything must wait his/her turn. shrugs Thanks for reviewing! Hope you enjoy this chappy!

Zsych: Heh, when Chouji goes all out it'll be sweet… Also when Lee, Gai and even Mokito open all gates it will be a speedfest… Kaguya Clan is very interesting, but it's just too bad everyone died… You really think the Curse Seal will do anything to enhance the Sharingan? Cause I don't, I only see the Curse Seal as something that uses the user's Chakra as basic, but major power-up. I still think YOU should write the vampire fic, I think you know a lot more than I do about it. The summon-theory you mention I will probably handle in the next Book… ponder Well, I don't know who'll survive this war and who won't whistle.. I can see many people wanted Sasuke to die, or Sakura for that matter, instead of constantly imprinting the sound 'Sasuke-kun' in everyone's ear.

Peter Kim: Itachi is a loved person, hehehe, you'll see who he fights. Hope you enjoy the chappy!

RuByMoOn17: Me too! The battle scene is really fun to write! Thanks for reviewing!

Moonlight's Shadow: Oh man, you just mentioned something that's familiar to one of Chouji's new techniques! Oh well, it is rather logical, I guess. Thanks for reviewing!!

EfrainMan: Ohhh, I do wonder who he will encounter, if he encounters them at all, Sasuke, I mean. Thanks for reviewing!!

Shishi haze: Yep, I had exams and they're over now so I'll be writing a lot again! Hope you enjoy the chappy!

Magicalfoci: Sasuke is pretty strong… In this fic as well, he hasn't used the Mange Sharingan against Nakao to save Chakra. Ja, thanks for reviewing!

CurlsofSerenity: Thanks! I'm glad you like it! Here's the next chappy!

Chinkpig: Well, just imagine the dance of the Willows: Ino-style, then? With two swords. Heh, hope it'll work. About being able to summon. Well, Sakura controls her Chakra perfectly and she IS close to Jounin level already here, so, I think it can be done… can it? About pairing, I don't really mind them asking, actually. Some people have to repeat themselves very often in life, why care about it?

Lemmings12: Sasuke seems weaker because he's fighting without the Curse Seal most of the time. This way, he'll become stronger fast. In the end, he does activate it and can keep up with Nakao's speed. I hope you enjoy this chapter as well, it is filled with action, only action.

Irony: Heh, I hope it didn't take you too long. But here's the next chapter! I hope you enjoy this one as well!

Monaki-cheung: Thanks!! I'm glad you love it!! Uh, here's the next Chapter, thanks for the review!!

Sally: Well, for everything there's a plan… I think. Naruto, Gaara and Neji will show up here, as well as Itachi. I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Even from the outskirts of Fire country explosions could be heard and the flashes of techniques flying around could be seen in the sky. No one really craved wars, some considered it to be necessarily to be able to get what you want and others thought it was the best defence. But a Shinobi's skill and ability wouldn't really matter in a war, since everyone is really fighting everyone. Sudden attacks are a part of that game. It was true that the most skilled Shinobis were usually the ones who had killed most, but they are no less vulnerable to attacks than other Shinobis.

But of course, there were exceptions…

On top of the Hokage monument, five Shinobis stood, watching the war from afar. They did nothing to gain attention or made any move to participate in the war. They were simply watching, or waiting. They analyzed the battles that were taking place. It went from great swirling Kaitens to humongous Summons battling each other to the pinpointing of the greater Shinobis within. Those whose Chakra sent shivers down anyone's spine. Indeed, the Akatsuki Leader was powerful…

"Itachi-san."

Itachi looked up at the slightly taller Hyuga Dareda and motioned for him to continue. He knew what was going to happen and hoped, no, wanted it to go right. If only they had more certainty of Naruto and Gaara not going berserk in there.

"We're moving in. You have to stay here. It seems we'll have to interfere after all…" Dareda stated with a frown directed at the Leaf Village. "Though I can understand their decisions."

Itachi nodded. "Decisions…"

"I always liked watching wars." Kisame suddenly interrupted the silent moment. "But I never was one to butt in. Do you know how high the chance is of getting killed during a war?"

Mokito shook her head. "Well, it is war, isn't it? The main purpose is to kill the opponent and… win the argument." She ended with a chuckle.

Dareda and Itachi simply stared down at the village. Beside Dareda, Sinobi was gazing with an interesting look at the Village. "That enormous Chakra I sense… It isn't Naruto's or Gaara's…"

There Where When is Now

Chapter 18

Naruto observed Takabashi Nakao before him. 'This must be his ultimate move… It kinda reminds me of my fight against Haku… He has no control at all… I bet he didn't have enough Chakra left to perform it in our last fight. This will be interesting. A test to see how far I can go without Kyuubi Chakra.'

Naruto noted that Nakao remained standing and was observing him as well. Naruto turned to Sasuke and Lee, who were both panting beneath him as he was standing on the roof of the house they just got smashed in. 'Sasuke is tired. I think he's trying to save Chakra by not activating that Curse Seal of his. And Lee… I see that he has his weights off, but he… he has an injury. That's why he is panting. So, I can still expect Lee to fight.'

Naruto hopped down from the roof and performed many hand seals. "Tsutek Hibaku!!"

Naruto smiled as he watched the dumbfounded Nakao got himself surrounded by enormous mountains. There was no escape as the Waterfalls activated and came crushing down from the top of the mountains towards Nakao. Nakao screamed, his eyes turning from golden to completely black. Nevertheless, the attack hit him dead-on.

Naruto's grin was short-lived as he saw Nakao stand up after the powerful attack. Behind him, Lee and Sasuke's eyes were widened. Naruto's eyes narrowed at the black eyes of Nakao.

"Heh, I've gained back control. And on top of that, I get to show you my own Shin Doubuken…"

Naruto frowned. "Show off? Just come already, you bastard!"

Nakao grinned and appeared behind Naruto, only to see Lee noticed and tried to kick him in the face, so Nakao withdrew again and Lee's kick missed its target.

Lee and Naruto stood next to each other as they stared at Nakao. "Lee. How are you doing?"

Sasuke gritted his teeth and rammed his fist on the ground. 'Damn it, damn it, damn it! I'm too tired…'

"I'm fine, Naruto-kun. I think only a fractured rib." Lee threw a soldier pill at Sasuke. "It might not help much, but at least it'll help a bit." Lee said with his thumbs up.

Sasuke took the soldier pill with reluctance. 'Damn it…'

"Lee, this opponent is strong… Are you sure you can continue?" Naruto asked as he still faced Nakao in front of him.

Lee nodded his head. "I'll help you, Naruto-kun!"

Naruto smiled. "Thank you, Lee." Naruto gathered lots and lots of Chakra, blowing Lee a few feet backwards, since he was a bit too close to Naruto. Nakao just grinned.

Naruto smiled. "Now then, bring it on!"

Lee's eyes as well as Sasuke's eyes were widened. The enormous Chakra Naruto was displaying… was unbelievable. "Lee! Sasuke! Help me!" And with that, both Nakao and Naruto disappeared from view.

Sasuke activated his Sharingan and found he had difficulty just sensing them. Lee could follow them, though, since his speed was so much higher. When he noticed an opening, Lee jumped in. "Reppuuken!!"

Nakao caught Lee's Violent Wind Fist with his face and fell hard through one of the trees that were still standing. Naruto was grinning as he landed beside Lee. "Nice move, Lee!"

Lee was facing Nakao still as he replied. "Thank you, Naruto-kun."

Sasuke suddenly walked next to Naruto. Naruto smiled. 'Good… Sasuke can still fight as well… This means I have back-up when I fight him with only MY Chakra…'

Naruto suddenly disappeared from between Lee and Sasuke and saw as Nakao was blown towards the sky. Once in the air, Naruto started with a punch to the gut, which was blocked by Nakao's knee. Nakao immediately continued with an elbow towards Naruto, planning to send him downwards. Naruto spun his body so that the elbow soared past him and Naruto could grab Nakao's arm while planting a knee in Nakao's stomach. As his knee connected, Naruto found his knee grabbed by Nakao.

"Jaei Ken!!"

Lee and Sasuke's eyes widened as They saw Nakao perform a Chakra-induced slash with his fist, which had sliced Naruto hard across the chest. Naruto fell harshly on the ground.

"Konoha Gouriki Senpuu!!" Lee yelled as he performed the Konoha spinning kick on Nakao, preventing Nakao from finishing off Naruto.

He took one look at the bleeding mess on Naruto's chest, only to see red Chakra surround him and heal the wound. Lee swallowed in confusion. 'This opponent…'

Naruto rose from the ground, totally unharmed, except for a tear in his cloak where he had been hit. "Lee… I'll handle this one now…"

Lee dumbly nodded as he observed the red Chakra around Naruto with wide eyes. 'His Chakra… it feels… evil…'

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and observed the red Chakra with his Sharingan. 'So this again? He hadn't been using this before?'

Naruto performed hand seals lightning fast. "Hyousoundare!!"

Because of the enormous use of Chakra, Nakao found himself on a giant mountain, that had crushed the remaining houses around them by appearing. On top of the mountain, Naruto released a huge avalanche. Nakao didn't seen anywhere where he could escape to.

As he was washed away by the giant avalanche, he still managed to stand up, only to meet the full stream of Naruto's Lava attack "Ryouganku no Jutsu!!" on his entire body. Nakao was blown backwards.

Naruto appeared in front of the stumbling Nakao and saw Nakao could not fight any longer… Naruto put one Rasengan on Nakao's forehead. "It's been a nice fight… thanks…"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orochimaru was performing technique after technique, going from a giant fire attacks to a vicious wind blasts. But all they did was slow the woman's walking towards him. Orochimaru snarled and wished he hadn't given Sasuke the Kusanagi. 'I haven't performed a ritual to perform the Kuchiyose Edo-Tensei… But those old Hokages would be useful here…'

Tsunade appeared above the woman, only see her disappear, right before her feet made the ground crumble where she landed.

Above them, Manda was trying to break free from under the Dragon's feet and the Dragon was also holding the huge Hyena by its neck. "Yukio… Should I kill them?"

The woman Orochimaru and Tsunade were fighting looked up at the dragon and nodded her head. Manda and Ayeen both disappeared with puff of smoke. Teri and Hatsu both jumped down after their summons got wiped away.

Jiraiya was still facing the Dragon with GamaBunta. "Sheesh, this is a really powerful one."

GamaBunta was about to reply, until the Dragon's thick tail ruthlessly smacked GamaBunta away.

Teri performed hand seals and faced Yukio. "Teishuuha!!"

Yukio grinned. "I know of the attack, it's one of the forbidden techniques of the Sound Village, isn't it?" She said, indicating no reaction that the attack did have an effect on her. "It's useless. I've studied all forbidden techniques and also knew how to defeat them. I am now of the Ryuu Clan, so a barrier of Chakra is everywhere around me. Those foolish sound waves you send can not get past them."

Teri snarled and formed a few new hand seals. "Die!! Hibiki Ayatsuri!!"

Teri lost sight of her and when she did notice, it was from behind, when Yukio's hands grasped Teri's neck. "You're the one who's dying…"

Hatsu's eyes widened as he saw Teri fall to the ground. "Noo!!" Hatsu rushed towards Yukio in blind rage. "Hakaze Atemi!!"

Yukio's eyes showed a joyous emotion. "You loved this woman? And you're from the Grass Village?" Yukio said while dodging the sharp leaves that were being sent her way from Hatsu's hands. Yukio blocked an interrupting kick from her left side which came from Tsunade. Yukio jumped backwards and performed a few hand seals. "Let me show you how that technique should be done! Hakaze Atemi!!"

Hatsu's eyes widened as Yukio's sharpened and hardened leaves came from all around him. Yukio grinned as she watched Hatsu's body being ripped apart and saw how his body parts formed into dozens of leaves.

"Ah, impressive… However…"

Hatsu's eyes widened as he appeared a few feet away from Yukio, but noticed the hardened leaves hit his body again. This time, there was only blood. Yukio smirked. "My attacks don't stop as quickly as yours did…"

Yukio sidestepped Tsunade's attack, but got entangled in Orochimaru's Senei Yashuu. Yukio snarled as the small snaked began to tighten their grip on her throat. "Don't think you can defeat me with this!"

Yukio let out a surge of purplish Chakra, making the snakes around her burn and vanish. Orochimaru performed new hand seals. "Don't underestimate us either, woman…" He finished his hand seals. "Furou Fushi no Jutsu!!"

Yukio's eyes widened. 'This skill I don't know…'

She found herself being paralyzed on the spot. Orochimaru cautiously walked towards her. "You were too arrogant and got trapped in my Immortality Skill. This allows me take your body, your soul, your mind and all of your techniques. Foolish woman, you were too cocky."

Orochimaru's eyes widened as the huge Dragon's tail suddenly swept by. Orochimaru managed to dodge it, but Yukio was fully hit by it, also breaking Orochimaru's Jutsu.

Orochimaru snarled as the woman appeared several feet in front of him. "I will not make that mistake again, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru jumped away from the fire breath that came out of Yukio's mouth.

Tsunade performed one hand seal. "Souzousaisei!!"

Yukio's eyes widened again. 'So these are the techniques of the Legendary Shinobis… I wonder what this one does…' Yukio watch amused at the killing intent expressed in Tsunade's eyes and the awful seal on her face. 'She has much more power now… and all her wounds have vanished as well… Interesting Jutsu…'

Yukio could still easily follow Tsunade's movements as Tsunade disappeared. Wanting to know Tsunade's power, Yukio blocked the attack from her right, only to be sent flying away. Yukio gritted her teeth and grabbed her arm once she landed on the ground. 'Damn… She packs a lot of power…'

Just then, the big Toad got beaten by the huge Dragon and Jiraiya jumped next to Orochimaru, who was also watching Tsunade go all out. "She's become more powerful, ey?" Orochimaru stated as they observed Tsunade.

Jiraiya nodded. "Yeah. Heh, this from the little girl in our team, hehe…"

Orochimaru didn't smile and performed a few hand seals. "We have no time to be joking around… That Dragon still needs to be beaten…"

Jiraiya sighed. "It's a real bother those wings of the Dragon really work…"

Orochimaru had summoned three three-headed snakes. Jiraiya performed a few hand seals and made his hair expand around him. "Perhaps I can shave the skin off of the dragon… Hanrinezumi!!"

Jiraiya made his hair harden as it surrounded him completely. He crouched and formed into a ball, before shooting himself off towards the Dragon. As he went by his skin his hair slashed through the Dragon's skin, spilling lots of blood.

Yukio watched with her eyes widened as she watched her Dragon out matched by two Legendary Shinobis.

This moment of confusion gave Tsunade the time to land a powerful blow on Yukio's face. Yukio was sent reeling backwards.

Yukio was now seething. "Damn… I never expected you three to be this strong…" The purple Chakra around Yukio began to expand around her and it easily made the ground crumble. "Let me show you what I received!!"

Yukio disappeared from view and as a fast bullet, ripped through one three-headed snake, while heading straight for Jiraiya. She stopped his Hanrinezumi attack with a surge of Chakra, sending Jiraiya towards the ground and out of that state. Then, Yukio appeared in front of Orochimaru, who was standing on one of the three-headed snakes. Instead of attacking Orochimaru, Yukio buried herself hard in one of the heads of the three-headed snakes, ripping it apart form the inside. After that, she appeared in front of Tsunade. Tsunade could follow her movements and already had a punch for her ready, but was surprised to find Yukio taking the hit, though with a slight wince, before hitting her right back... hard.

Jiraiya panted on the ground. "Whoa… this woman is definitely something else…"

Yukio continued by attacking another three-headed snake, which was having a power struggle together with the other three, now two-headed Snake Orochimaru was on against her Dragon. All three heads were sliced off by use of Chakra and the Dragon easily finished the two-headed snake off easily.

Orochimaru landed next to Jiraiya on the ground. "She's stronger now… Our techniques won't have much of an effect anymore. Even Tsunade in the state she is in now has trouble with her. We need help."

Yukio smashed Tsunade hard in the face, who had been rushing towards her again.

"In any case, we can't be sitting ducks here, so might as well join the fight." Jiraiya said, before running for Yukio and performing hand seals. "Rasengan!!" Two Rasengans were formed in Jiraiya's hands.

Yukio looked on and found it rather amusing. Another technique she didn't know. The two Rasengans caused massive destruction as they soared past Yukio. "Interesting technique." She said as she had grasped both of Jiraiya's arms and was staring straight in his face.

Before she could do anything else, Orochimaru was above, about to land on her with hand seals finished. Yukio acted fast and threw Jiraiya against Orochimaru. Tsunade was behind her again, kicking her hard in the back.

Tsunade's eyes widened as the kick only made Yukio move a little forward. "How?"

Yukio grinned as she turned around and faced Tsunade, not ignoring the fact Orochimaru and Jiraiya were up again. "Let me explain it to you… It's the least I can do before I kill you three."

Yukio closed her eyes. "I am from the lethal Bloodline Limit from the old and small Snow Village, which no longer exists. I am the only survivor left, I have heard. I've heard of another survivor but found out he got killed by a Leaf Shinobi. He was the son of my little sister, his name was Haku. Now, I think you can guess from which Clan I am… It's the Fetaru Clan. My name is Fetaru Yukio. Already having mastered all the skills of my Bloodline, I came to find out the way of the Hidden Scrolls, said to make the one who learns all techniques of all Hidden Scrolls the last and only descendent of the Dragon, the Ryuuki Clan. You three must know that the Ryuuki Clan was known for its weaknesses, so you wonder why anyone would want to collect all the Scrolls. But the fact is that they aren't weak at all. It is true that they have no history of having great Shinobis, but they can dream, see visions. And when I became the descendant of the Ryuuki Clan, there was something else. I not only became the descendant, but also the reincarnation of THE dragon of the Ryuuki Clan. In truth I am now two persons, or one person and one beast. But we can both use both our abilities. I can use his Chakra and techniques and he can use my Chakra and my techniques, including my Bloodline Techniques. Because of the link the reincarnation made between me and the dragon I can also summon dragons."

Yukio closed her eyes and laughed shortly. "In short, there is not a single person who can truly defeat me. Not even an entire army can stop me!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth. 'Shit… my Chakra is real low, I can't do anything. The same is with Orochimaru and Jiraiya…'

"Interesting story. It kid of reminds me of how the Kyuubi got defeated here. There is a way to stop you, after all…" Jiraiya said. "I know the Fourth's Jutsu."

Yukio chuckled. "Heh, so what? You barely have any Chakra left while I am still boosting mine. You're a fool if you think you can still defeat me or my Dragon."

Jiraiya smiled as Neji appeared together with Shigeru Sarutobi, Iruka Umino, Genma and Aoba. Neji watched the huge Dragon in awe and immediately performed a few combination hand seals. "Taiyuu Kuchiyose no Jutsu!!" Neji yelled. 'This is gonna take Chakra, but that Dragon has to go down…'

In front Neji, his summons were all immediately staring at the Dragon, knowing that it was he who was their opponent. "Heh, Neji. This one's powerful I can sense that. No wonder why you summoned all of us." A huge Leopard said. Beside the leopard, stood a huge Scorpion and a gigantic Alligator.

"It's been a while since we've fought together, but this time it's really necessarily, ey, Neji?" The Alligator brought out of his jaws.

Neji smiled proudly as he stared at Dakats, the Scorpion, Ani, the Alligator and Hyou the Leopard. "I'll be staying on the ground, helping the others."

Yukio looked impressed. "You summoned three Summon Bosses at once? How? It doesn't matter much anyway, they won't be able to defeat the Dragon and…" Yukio didn't finish the sentence and shook her while chuckling. "Foolish boy… for this little mistake you will die!!" She yelled as she stared hard at Shigeru. "Genjutsu, ey?"

With a small boost of Chakra, Yukio appeared behind Shigeru and put a hand on his neck. "Denkou Juin!"

Shigeru screamed in pain as Yukio's hand burned in Shigeru's neck. Yukio chuckled. "I hope you enjoy killing your friends…"

Shigeru fell to the ground and his Chakra was pouring out. Neji rushed forward in great speed and only managed to make Yukio jump backwards. "Senshin-Byakugan!!"

"Ah, A Hyuga you are…" Yukio smiled. "I do wonder where all my allies are? You guys keep showing up!" She yelled as she noticed Ino, Kiba, Sakura, Hinata, Chouji and Shino enter the same scenery.

"There are only weaker Shinobis left, I think." Shino stated.

Hinata walked next to Neji and also activated her "Senshin-Byakugan!!" Remembering how Neji had taught it to her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Naruto, Hinata-sama… She's quite skilled, isn't she?" Neji said as he was facing Naruto, while Hinata was distance behind them, talking with Kurenai.

Naruto nodded. "Yeah, yeah! She's really strong too!"

Neji nodded. "Perhaps I should take her to see Dareda."

"Dareda? You think that's good idea?"

"Dareda might hate the Main Family of the Hyuga… But I think he won't hate Hinata-sama."

-----

"You are right, Neji. Her eyes show more potential." Dareda said before facing Hinata. "Hinata-sama. Have you ever felt a strange sensation going through your Byakugan whenever you're fighting a real tough battle?"

Hinata nodded.

"I suggest you teach her the Senshin-Byakugan, Neji."

Neji nodded. "Yes, I was planning to."

------------------------------------------------------------------End Flashback----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neji looked at Hinata once. "Hinata-sama. This one is too powerful. Let me handle it."

"N-no! I will fight her as well!" Hinata yelled back.

Yukio shook her head. "Foolish Shinobi. One should not put the other outside of a battle as dangerous as this one."

Shino stepped forward, but was suddenly slammed back by an incredible surge of Chakra. Shigeru Sarutobi was… purple…

Genma and Aoba didn't know what this meant and they were the older Jounins present. Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru didn't know either. Though Orochimaru did notice Yukio put something similar to a Curse Seal in Shigeru's neck.

Shigeru's entire body changed… It didn't take long before he was ONLY Chakra and his head was a… Dragon's head, while his body had become a snake-like body consistent of only Chakra. Now it was no longer Shigeru, but the huge snake-like Dragon, flying above them.

Yukio grinned. "I put a Lightning Seal in his neck and immediately upgraded it to level 2, changing him into this. The amount of Chakra the boy possessed determines how long that snake will be able to live. The less he had, the shorter the snake can fly around like that."

Genma and Aoba jumped sideways to avoid a tackle coming from the huge purple snake. Ino and Sakura couldn't avoid getting hit and were both slammed against the Hokage Tower.

Kiba performed a few hand seals. "This one is ours!! Soutourou!!"

Kiba and Akamaru had both grown into huge sized wolves. The Snake/Dragon that once was Shigeru was heading for them. Kiba and Akamaru got ready. "Garouga!!"

Yukio watched on impressed as her creation and the Inuzuka man and his dog collided, making the ground rumble. "Heh, that blow managed to take the Inuzuka boy and his dog out, but he did manage to stop the Ryuu Bunshin's movement for a while…"

Yukio looked up to see Hinata and Neji look at her with a smile. "You're within the field of our Hakke…"

Yukio chuckled. "Is that so? As you can see, my Chakra flows differently from most Shinobis, so that attack won't work on me."

Neji closed his eyes. "I figured as much. However…" Hinata and Neji both smiled and performed their huge Kaiten combined with their Hyuga Chakra Paralysis…

Yukio was caught in between the two Kaitens and felt she couldn't move, while the Kaiten cut sliced at her. 'What a devious move… they immobilize my Chakra and body movements and perform this slicing Heavenly Spin… Still, they should know not to underestimate me…'

Yukio's Dragon was too busy trying to dodge Neji's Alligator's Water attacks and the Scorpion's poison attacks and Tail stabs. The Dragon failed to avoid the tackled the huge Leopard gave him and he was slowly losing the battle against the three summons.

As the Heavenly Spins stopped, Yukio was still standing between Neji and Hinata, wearing a grin. Neji and Hinata watched in shock as Purple Chakra healed her completely. 'Shit, she's just like Naruto and Gaara!'

Neji quickly performed the Kaiten as he saw Yukio appear behind him. Yukio wasn't much effected by the Heavenly Spin, but stopped her attack nevertheless. "So it is true you can see all around you? I heard you had a blind spot, though."

Neji smiled. "Perhaps." He turned around and faced Yukio. "Bring it."

Yukio and Neji began a little skirmish, but Neji noticed his speed was lower than Yukio's and he got hit several times. Two times did he resort to the Kaiten but it didn't really effect Yukio anymore as her power and Chakra seemed to resist it. Neji jumped backwards, only to see Hinata rushed past him towards Yukio. "Hinata-sama, no!!"

Yukio and Hinata's battle was short-lived as Yukio easily slipped through Hinata's defence and landed a blow powerful enough to make Hinata soar away. Neji caught her in the air and put her on the ground. 'Good, she's still alive.' Neji looked around. 'The Hokage, Jiraiya and that Orochimaru are out of Chakra, Sakura and Ino are also out. Kiba is out cold with Akamaru so that leaves only Chouji, me, Genma, Aoba and Shino.' Neji watched up to see how his summons were doing. 'Good, the Dragon has to defend from three sides, so he has no opportunity to attack back.'

"If you think your summons are winning you've got another thing coming!" Yukio yelled.

Just then, the Dragon flew high in the air and propelled downwards again, smashing the huge alligator deep down into the ground. The impact caused a small earthquake to pass through the area. "Ani!!" Neji screamed, only to see a lot of smoke come out of the hole and a Dragon flying out of it.

"Seems like one your Summons has been beaten." Yukio stated with a grin.

Neji snarled and with his Byakugan he already saw Genma and Aoba doing hand seals. Neji recognised the technique. 'So they can aim the attack too?'

"Kage Shuriken no Jutsu!!" Both Genma and Aoba yelled as they were running forward. Neji smiled as he felt many Shurikens soar past him towards Yukio. Yukio shook her head.

"Fuuton, Furyuukiri!!"

Neji's Byakugan saw how sharp Wind Blades managed to slash all Shurikens away, all of them. Then he watched Chakra formed in the palm of her hand. 'Rasengan! No, that can't be! Only Naruto and Jiraiya know it.'

Yukio smirked. "Ryuu Geiki!!"

A purple-coloured spiky-shaped Chakra ball was going straight at him. 'No time to dodge!'

"Kaunta-Kaiten!!"

Yukio watched on very impressed. 'Ah, so he has made his Heavenly Spin different this time. This one is for countering Chakra attacks instead of Physical attacks, impressive, but there's no way he could defend all of my Dragon Blast…'

Yukio appeared in front of Genma and Aoba, but had to jump away because of a sudden wave of liquid coming at her. She watched as Shino had just puked out poison at her. "Aburame, you are, huh? Well, it seems your fight is not with me…"

Shino barely managed to jump sideways to avoid the Ryuu Bunshin's attack. (the Ryuu Bunshin that was once Shigeru.)

Yukio performed a few hand seals. "Makyou Hyoushou!!"

Genma and Aoba instantly found themselves surrounded by Ice mirrors… Yukio went in one of the mirrors after making sure Neji could not continue fighting.

Neji was on the ground, groaning from the pain the Ryuu Geiki had caused him, even when he had activated the Kaunta-Kaiten. 'Naruto and Gaara better hurry…'

And then, Neji heard the screams inside the strange thing Yukio had created.

Until all mirrors were shattered. Neji managed to look up and see Kakashi, Gai, Shikamaru, Asuma and Kurenai approach. Neji smiled before he put his head back down, resting. 'I'll leave the fight to them…'

Kakashi had to admit, the sight before him was quite breathtaking. On one side he saw the Three Legendary Sennins trying to regain some health. Tsunade was the one looked worst, her appearance like that of an old woman. Kakashi understood what happened. Tsunade won't be able to continue fighting for a while. His eyes narrowed at the shattered mirrors, those mirrors that looked awfully familiar to Haku's Bloodline Limit Technique. Above him, he saw a huge dragon panting after having defeated one huge Scorpion and now had to face a giant leopard, which was also panting.

Kiba and his dog had been beaten. Umino Iruka and Akimichi Chouji both were still in near perfect state. And Aburame Shino was watching as a weird looking purple coloured floating snake was slowly dissipating. Shino was also fine. Orochimaru and Jiraiya were slightly tired but could also continue. So it was him, Gai, Asuma, Kurenai, Shikamaru, Chouji, Shino, Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Iruka against the woman. He also had noted that Genma and Aoba were both too exhausted and hurt to continue. Ten against one, had to work…

Yukio chuckled. "You people just keep appearing! Annoying cockroaches! I'll even the odds a bit!" Before Yukio could do something she looked up to see her summon and Neji's summon both vanish with a puff of smoke. 'They managed to defeat my dragon?! Damn, I guess it's time to go all out… I'm up against ten Shinobis.'

"Let me show you what a reincarnation of the most powerful dragon means!!" Yukio growled as purple Chakra surrounded her. "I can see you are all tired from the fighting already! Well, I'm not, so you will all perish!"

Orochimaru rushed forward, while on the other side Gai did the same.

"Katon, Kasai Denkou!!" Orochimaru screamed. A huge stream of fire combined with electricity shot out of Orochimaru's mouth. Yukio simply expanded the purple Chakra's range around her and managed to negate the two effects of Orochimaru's attack.

"Konoha Gouriki Senpuu!!" Gai yelled.

And the same thing happened. Yukio expanded her Chakra and it sent Gai flying back, landing in front Kakashi's feet.

Yukio this time took the initiative and ran towards Jiraiya. 'I believe he is the strongest here…' Jiraiya snarled as he was leaning against a wall.

Jiraiya jumped away, avoiding the wall-crushing fist, but found Yukio following him. 'Shit, she's really bent on getting me! If only she was a little nicer…'

Jiraiya couldn't act fast as Yukio appeared in front of him and knocked him back on the ground. Yukio formed Chakra in the palm of her hand and threw it towards Jiraiya.

"Ryuu Geiki!!"

Jiraiya rolled sideways and felt the ball of vicious Chakra hit the ground just beside him. Jiraiya was knocked to the side as the impact made the entire ground shake. Yukio wanted to do another Dragon Blast but saw Orochimaru performing seals again.

"Taiyuu Dosu Shikon no Jutsu!!"

Yukio frowned at the many snakes coming from Orochimaru's sleeves. "How stupid. Enough of this… " She shook her head as all snakes were slices to bits as she stated. "Fuuton, Furyuukiri." She continued performing seals. "Kuchiyose, Fusokufuri Ryoukai!"

All f them watched as a human-sized and almost human-looking dragon appeared beside Yukio. She grinned at the others. "This is a dragon, but also somewhat a human. Don't underestimate him, he can rip you apart in seconds." She finished with a grin. "Now, let's continue!"

Yukio descended towards Orochimaru and Jiraiya, while Yukio's summoned creature went for the eight others.

Orochimaru was performing seals again, while Jiraiya had two Rasengans ready in the palms of his hands. "Enjintou no Chakra!" Orochimaru yelled, while a Chakra blade appeared in his right hand. Yukio kept approaching.

"Ryuu Geiki!!" She yelled, on which Jiraiya threw both his Rasengans to counter. The Dragon Blast and the Rasengans cancelled each other out. Orochimaru jumped through the smoke with his Chakra Scalpel, only to get grabbed by his right hand and being dragged away. Jiraiya just managed to see Yukio drag Orochimaru on the roof. He quickly jumped up.

Orochimaru, on the roof, saw his Chakra Blade disappeared because of Yukio's Chakra and she easily broke both his arms. "You and your annoying Jutsus. Now you won't be able to interfere anymore…" She grabbed him by the collar and rammed her fist hard through his ribs. She wanted to hit his head next but was forced to move away and dodge Jiraiya's Fire Attack.

Yukio smiled at Jiraiya. "Your friend won't be able to continue anymore."

"Fool…"

Yukio stared at Orochimaru and watched as blue Chakra healed him.

"The body I possess has a special Chakra, able to heal most wounds." Orochimaru said as he rose. "Unfortunately, I didn't have any Chakra left…" And then he fell back on the ground, unconscious..

"So now it's just you and me, Jiraiya-sama, right?" Yukio said playfully. "Prepare to die…"

Yukio and Jiraiya both crouched, preparing to attack each other. Until a sudden Chakra surge soared throughout the entire area…

Yukio jumped past Jiraiya and immediately wanted to see who had joined their fight.

Jiraiya turned, still on the roof, to see Naruto, Gaara, Lee and Sasuke approach.

Yukio landed in front of the four, ignoring the battle behind her, the battle of Kakashi and the others versus her dragon/human summon. Occasionally she had to dodge, so she jumped towards Naruto and the others. Only to get attacked straight in the face by a sudden appearance of a foot.

Naruto and Gaara grinned to see Mokito in front of them. A short second later, Dareda, Sinobi and Kisame stood next to her.

Dareda turned to look at Naruto and Gaara. "What do you think you two are doing?! He's waiting! Go!"

Naruto and Gaara flinched and remembered they were supposed to go to Itachi first. And instead of doing that they went to help out the others here… They both nodded and disappeared. "Now then, now that that is settled, how about we have a real match here?" Dareda said, getting angrier as he saw Neji lying on the ground.

On top of one of the roofs, Orochimaru crawled over the edge to see who had arrived. 'Ah, Sasuke-kun is here… I better not let him see me…'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Heh, sorry, Itachi…" Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head. "Some people kinda needed our help…" Gaara nodded at what Naruto had said, in truth saying the same thing.

"You two sense the immense Chakra of the woman, right?"

Naruto and Gaara both nodded.

"It is doubtful she can be beaten without both of you at full power…" Itachi reasoned. "She also has a demon, like you two, inside of her. The only difference is, she totally accepts it and has all the power the demon has and her own. You two must be the same. Fight the demons inside of you."

"What about you, Itachi?" Gaara asked. "You are not going to fight?"

Itachi looked at Gaara, not a single emotion swimming over his features. "As soon as I no longer sense my little brother's Chakra and I am sure he is unconscious, I will join the battle, but this needs to be done first."

Itachi performed a long set of difficult hand seals and then put his right hand on Naruto's stomach and his left hand on Gaara's stomach, on their seals…

"Nijuu Teishoukantakai Fuin!!"

Ok, ok!!

First off, I had said to Pyr00tje that I was going to start the battle of the fights Naruto-Kyuubi and Gaara-Shukaku in this chapter, but things kinda… expanded during my writing and this is a nice cliffhanger, heh… sorry.

Second off, please don't think I forgot about things that happened in the past in this fic. I.e. The slaughtering of the Uchiha(Itachi) or Hyuga Clan(Itachi and Dareda) and the War(Orochimaru) or betrayal (Sasuke), but this war is just more important, that'll be all be dealt with later on.

Third off, Please state so if you want me to put up the Jutsu List…

Ok, I think you can guess what that technique does that Itachi last performed.
