Going into the battle Jiraiya knew that even if his opponent was years younger than him, he was not a feared assassin for nothing. He had heard stories around the region on how him and his brother had taken out some of the most influential people in the world. Who had some of the most powerful ninjas under them. This character was truly someone that was not to be messed with.

Misuki knew he had to end the battle as fast as possible. He could take the many hits, yet he did not have the stamina for long battles. 'I'll have to use the strongest moves first. I have to take my chance that this guy can't take them.' Misuki performed the appropriate seals and yelled out "Reinforce no jitsu", and as soon as he had finished the jistu blue chakra surrounded his body. Seeing Misuki perform his first, Jiraiya's first reaction was to break threw the chakra barrier with a Rasengan, but after taking a closer look at the technique, he saw that this was not a ordinary barrier.

'Damn, didn't think that he was capable of something like that. Not only does this move protect him from attacks, it will also send back a certain percentage of the attack back to the opponent. The only problem with this jitsu is that it takes up a lot of chakra, he might not be able to stabilize this for very long. I'll wait for him to get to me. I'm not going to risk my attacks coming back at me, I don't know how much damage he can send back. I'll just go on the defense till he runs out '

Before he could finish with that thought Misuki had already appeared behind the Frog Hermit and quickly started to attack him with a fury of attacks aimed at his most vital organs. Thinking quickly Jiraiya was able to avoid most of the hits, and any that had passed threw his defense he redirected at less vital spots. 'Shit, when will this kid ever tire out, it seems that he is not even breaking a sweat.' It was not long till Jiraiya's wishes were answered, he soon sensed that the barrier around Misuki was weakening, so summoning chakra into his hand Jiraiya created a Rasengan and slammed it into the young fighter. The force was so great that he was thrown into a boulder, and made a large dent into it.

Smiling Jiraiya slowly walked over to the downed figure to make sure he had truly finished him off. "Well kid, looks like your not so great after all. So you actually think that you would have enough power to defeat me Jiria... what the fuck." After taking a closer inspection of the body he saw that something was missing, the body. The Rasengan had blew a large hole in the cloth, yet there was not body. Stunned Jiraiya could only look at the body in wonder of what could have taken place here. 'What the hell is happening here? I know that I attacked him, he was real, I felt the attacks.'

"You really shouldn't think that you have won the battle till you seen your opponents true power." A voice which resembled the Misuki could be heard by the Frog hermit from all directions. Smiling the Sennin replied, "Now I get it, from the way these cloths were made and the wood which is placed inside the cloth, I see that you have been using a puppet this whole time." "Well your half right, that is no ordinary puppet it is the much famed Demon Puppet. Normal Puppet's need the ninja to control it from a distance. Yet that is where a Demon Puppet has the advantage. A Shaman ninja would infuse a hundred spirts into the marionette to allow movement with out the ninja having to moderate it. The only down side is that it takes a lot of chakra to maintain it. Well before I go on I must warn you not to look up."

Foolishly responding Jiraiya looked up, and before he knew it a fist came crashing into his face sending him flying into a tree. Misuki later appeared from the ground, unscathed and ready to continue on the match. With a smirk on his face he said "Well I did tell you to not look up" Getting up from the ruble Jiraiya rubbed his chin, while cursing the boy which stood in front of him. "You stupid brat, that was cheap." he bellowed at the still beaming Misuki, who was looking like he had won the lottery. "This is a battle, there are no rules. Summaries have honor, ninja's get the job done."

'Every time that I think that I have this guy, he comes up with a new and even more annoying way to fight me.' "Well if your done licking your wounds I can show you the true power of the Demon Puppets." Jiraiya only laughed at the comment and said "You mean the pile of scarp heap that you have over there. What are you going to do throw them at me and hope it gives me a headache." Misuki only chuckled under his breath at the comment and replied. "Oh yes, there is one little detail that I forgot to mention about the puppet. Since the puppet has demons infused within it, it would also have its own chakra supply about half the size of the users. Which in turn will give it the ability to heal itself." As he spoke Jiraiya could see the cloth and the wood "growing" and forming back into what it was before. 'Shit, what else could go wrong, I really don't want to kill this guy. As much I hate I to admit it, he is giving me a hell of a fight, which I have not seen for a long time.' With a grin the Frog Hermit got into a fighting stance ready to start the next part of the battle.

'I'll now show him the full extent of my puppet,' "Shaman tai-jitsu, hidden arts of the shadow." With the mighty battle cry both the puppet and Musuki charged at the Sennin ready to give it there all. "Kage no Bussion(sp?)" Readying himself for the battle, Jiraiya created another clone to fight the puppet, while he himself would attack the user.

As the two titans clashed, it was apparent on who had the upper hand. Even with his excelled experience in tai-jitsu, Misuki just couldn't match up to the years of experience that the Sennin had. The Frog Hermit did not wish to waste his chakra, not knowing what else his opponent had up his sleaves, so he reverted to using weapons, and hand to hand combat. The clone and puppet where not faring any better then the originals.

It was soon apparent that Misuki was tiring out, as his movements became slower, and his attacks were not connecting. 'Shit, my chakra is low. Looks like I'm going to have to use that move. I don't think I'll be able to activate it to its fullest without activating the seal. Well, if I don't act soon I he will over power me.'

As soon as he decided what to do with a quick leap both the puppet and Misuki leaped out their foe's area and were on one side of the river, as they faced the two Jiraiyas on the other side. "Forbidden technique of the North, three part tai-jitsu, part one. Speed Reinforcement." A surge of chakra rushed out of his body. As he watched the Jiraiya could only think of one thing, 'Where to hell did all that power come from, just a second ago I could have sworn that he was getting low on energy.' He did not even get to think of his next action, before he could even attack start to perform a jitsu, Misuki was already at his back. 'What speed, how?' "This is the first part to the extent of my power." he whispered in the Frog Hermit's ear, as his puppet quickly took care of his clone.

Before he could react Jiraiya was hit with a direct hit to his neck by Misuki sending him back a few yards. 'Damn, his speed is like nothing I have ever seen in my life.' " Part two, Body Reinforcement." The puppet jumped into the air, and covered Misuki's body with the material. With another explosion of chakra, Misuki appeared behind Jiraiya. With one last command whispered "Final part, Kamikaze Spirit." Before he could do anything, Misuki wrapped his foe up in the bandages which covered his arms, and with the last of him chakra reinforced them so that the old man could not escape. "This is it finale." With that he jumped into the air, ready to end the match.

As he escaped the ground, and reached the maximum height of the leap, he went into a straight dive into the ground. The returning dive did not go as well as he would have liked it to go. As the earth grew closer and closer, marks started to appear on his face, and his complection paled. 'Shit the damn seal is activating. I don't have enough time to complete it.' Seeing that the bondage that he placed in was weakening Jiraiya did not take anytime in breaking free of them, and delivering the final blow. "Rasangan!" With one final blow Jiraiya delivered the attack straight into Misuki's stomach. With the speed he was already heading from his previous move, and the Rasengan. The force in which he slammed into the ground fell nothing short of colossal. The impact created a crater about two hundred feet wide and a hundred deep. With the crater every bone in Misuki's body was broken. Before he lost conscious one last thought past threw the young ninja's mind. 'Damn, I didn't think I would die so soon. Well hope Naruto gives him hell when he is done his match. He better not die to or I'll kill him.'

Jiraiya sat down and took out a bottle of sake, taking a breather after such a match. "Better get out of here soon, I don't want to deal with the other boy to, well that is if he wins against Gama-Bunta."

On the other side of the forest Gama-Bunta had Naruto pinned to the ground. He had already run out of chakra and was badly beaten. His body did not look like it could continue any longer. "Look kid give up and I shall let you live, but if you proceed I'm just going to kill you." With a annoyed glare Naruto only yelled back "Fuck you, I'm not going to be beaten by a overgrown piece of shit like you!" Struggling to get up he moved his thrashed body to a half way position. 'Damn doesn't look like I'm going to live threw this. Stupid fox give me some juice, I don't care what happens to me. Remember if I die you die.' 'You stupid punk, who do you think you are talking to? Fine I'll give you some chakra, but you beat this guy' 'Yeah what ever, just give me the power.'

As Gama-Bunta blade closed to deliver the final blow a burst of red chakra came out of our young ninja, and when the dust clear, the Toad Boss saw the most startling sight. His large blade was being held up by Naruto. And with a sinister laugh he proclaimed, "Like I said, no piece of shit is ever going to beat me"
