Yay!!!! I beat it to a bloody pulp!!! That's what the thing gets for stinging me!!!

She's Back

Lamia Deus dropped the mutilated bodies back to the ground. She turned to Gaara and stared at him.

". . . so this is her final stage?"

"Human, tell me, what has happened here?"

"How could you forget about it Robin?" Lamia Deus smirked.

"The girl and I are not the same entity. There is too much of a risk for her to do this enough to have control." Gaara's curiosity peeked.

"What are you talking about?" The strange woman smirked.

"For her to be able to use this stage, her body has to be given to me. I take over her body as a new power rushes forth. She can't handle that power yet. Each time she does this stage, the power threatens to destroy her from the inside out. Now, tell me, what has happened and I may let you live."

Orochimaru stood on top of a snake as Tsunade and Jiraiya stood on their respective summons. The former teammates stood, waiting for the moment. The moment to attack. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the three giant summons attacked each other. The three animals clashed. The toad began to slash at the snake as it wrapped around the snail. The three legends leapt up into the air, all performing a jutsu. Orochimaru smirked as he dodged Jiraiya's attacked and began his own attack on Tsunade after hitting Jiraiya to the ground.

Bensha was thrown back. She had put her hands up to defend her self and turned her head to the side slightly. Some blood dripped out of a thin cut on her cheek. Kakashi pulled out the thin needles and threw them to the side along with some of his blood.

"Bensha, I won't let you take her." Kakashi yelled.

"She's already gone." Bensha hissed. "She said so herself." Bensha stood with a distant look on her face.

"Ka-Kakashi . . . w-why . . . why can't I stay?" Bensha repeated it just like Setsuko.

"NO!" Kakashi roared. "Not yet! Not as long as I can breath. I will bring her back."

"Human, why do you fight for her? She will run once she realizes you know of her past." Kakashi moved some hair out of his face as he glared at Bensha.

"I know that. Setsuko runs from a lot of things. And I can't blame her after what I saw of her past. But I don't care. Her past makes her Setsuko. And . . . I am willing to risk everything on getting her back."

". . . this truth strikes a emotion in me. I have no real fight with you. But in order to kill the snake, you must die." Kakashi performed several seals and held up his hand. A blue sphere of some kind of mist swirled in his hand.

"I know. . . That's why, Toshiko waited for all those years to tell me." The sphere floated out on front of him as he moved his hands quickly in strange seals. "That's why . . . I'm risking everything on this. On Setsuko. With Setsuko." Kakashi grabbed the sphere with his right hand once he finished and charged forward. Bensha wiped away some blood.

"Show me . . ." She whispered to herself. "Show me what you fight for. Show me what Setsuko means to you . . . and what you mean to her." Bensha charged forward. "Human!!! I will bestow transcending bliss upon you!!!" Both of them pulled their left fist back as the came closer. Finally, as they neared, each punched with all their might.

A bright light caused the sound-nin to shield their eyes. Yoko floated up in the air, her outline barely seen through the light, staring towards the ninja. She raised her hand and pointed a finger towards a sound-nin. The ninja felt his skin start to burn as Yoko neared him. Yoko tilted her body towards him as she reached forward. She pressed her hands against his chest and pulled out a whitish blue substance.

"Soul Destruction." She whispered as a moan came from the strange substance as it started to burn in her hands. Yoko turned to the other shinobi.

Naruto dodged several kunai and landed on the ground with a heavy thump.

"Life Leach no Jutsu!!!!!!!" Before he could react, seven Janghoon had killed the five shinobi he was fighting.

"Petal Dance no Jutsu!!!!!" Seung had appeared beside the shinobi that was coming towards Sakura. Her wakizashis ((ninja swords)) had become four times sharper. She easily killed a ninja as Riki landed on the ground.

"Katon Housenka no Jutsu!!!!" Multiple blasts of fire came from his mouth towards several shinobi. Team 28 turned towards Team 7.

"Anybody have an idea where to go to next?" Janghoon asked as he stood up from checking to see in the last ninja was dead. His clones were gone. Before anyone had a chance to answer him, a loud explosion caused Naruto to jump. The two teams turned to see three large creatures attacking each other.

". . . that looks like a good place to start." Riki muttered.

Orochimaru smirked as he stared at Tsunade. She was kneeling on the ground making sure that Jiraiya was still alive.

"Really, Tsunade-chan, is this the best the Leaf has to offer?" Jiraiya tried to get up but his broken arm and leg stopped him.

"KATON HOUSENKA NO JUTSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Two distinct male voices shouted out. Orochimaru leapt away from the ground as fire balls incinerated the ground.

"PETAL DANCE NO JUTSU!!!!!!!!!!!" Orochimaru dodged several needles as they pierced through rocks.

"Impressive. That is, unless if you were actually trying to hit me." The six genin glared at the snake.

"Get out of here now!!!!!!!!" Tsunade yelled. "He'll kill you!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Naruto moved to perform his favorite jutsu when several needles landed in front of the leaf-nin. Bensha landed alittle ways away form them and stood up. Her clothes were slightly ripped and she had several cuts. She stared at the genin before turning to Orochimaru.

"Snake, I have . . . . disposed of the masked ninja Kakashi. I have released several of your snakes . . . I see no reason for you to be of my services." Bensha turned to the genin. Her eyes landed on Naruto and stayed there.

". . . it appears that I have one more request of you." Bensha turned her head to him slightly to indicate that she was listening.

". . ."

"Kill these pests. Except the Uchiha boy. He has . . . no . . . he no longer has my seal." Orochimaru glared at Sasuke's shoulder. "Tell me boy, who removed it."

"I DID!!!!!" Yoko landed with a light thud as she stood in front of Sasuke.

". . . and just who are you?" Yoko smirked as Tenshi appeared next to her.

"Aww, he doesn't know, does he?" Tenshi pouted.

"He is merely human. It is only to be expected." Lamia Deus appeared with Gaara and his two siblings.

"Well, you cannot blame him." Akira walked up to Yoko.

"Yes, we have been on those mountains for quite some time." Masaru muttered as he brushed off his sleeve next to Akira.

"Yeah, but it is kinda sad we aren't know beyond the mountains." Yukio laughed as he slapped Masaru on the back.

"Oh dear," Tenshi muttered as she pressed her hand against her cheek and held her arm. "We still haven't answered his question. I think that will upset him." Tenshi smirked as she turned to Yoko. "Dear cousin, may we?" Yoko nodded and smirked.

"May I go first?" Tenshi nodded with a silly grin on her face.

"Hai!!!" Orochimaru began to fell alittle agitated at the Branch Family.

"My name," Yoko began, "is Uzumaki Yoko. Head Meiko of the Uzumaki clan!" Tenshi leaned on Yoko alittle as she introduced herself.

"Yo! Uzumaki Tenshi of the clan. I guess I'm the doctor for us."

"Uzumaki Akira, sir. I am the youngest of the family." Akira bowed slightly. "But I have no problems with killing snakes. They're bad for my garden." Yukio smiled broadly.

"Uzumaki Yukio!!!" He laughed. "I suggest you crawl back under your rock."

"I am the samurai of the family, Uzumaki Masaru." Masaru beamed.

". . . I am the Uzumaki known as the Emotionless Executioner, Uzumaki Robin. But while I am in this form, my name is Lamia Deus." Yoko laughed slightly.

"I think you better retreat." Yoko laughed. "We grew up with the Uzumaki teachings. We know our family jutsu very well." Orochimaru smirked as he looked over the six.

". . . you six . . . are merely fools with a good last name. I have Uzumaki Setsuko, the Bloodless Ninja, the Uindo Bensha, on my side." He laughed. Kabuto appeared next to him.

"Orochimaru-sama, let me help with these pests." Kabuto walked forward towards the Uzumaki. He paused mid-step as he passed Bensha. He leapt back quickly in order to avoid as large white blur come towards him. After it missed, the spinning white blur seemed to have a boomerang effect and fly back. A pale slender hand reached up and caught it, forcing her back alittle as the weight caused her slid alittle over the ground. Kakashi stood next to her as she slid back and waited patiently, worn from a previous fight with cuts and bruises all over. The woman looked up from holding the Shinigami to her back after catching it. Her green hair was put up into a messy but tight bun with some hair being let lose and falling into her face slightly. Her strange gi like clothing was pitch black. She had no belt to hold the top together and it moved freely in the wind, showing her tank top and some bandages underneath. A black wrist band with gold markings was back in place on the delicate wrist. Raging crimson eyes lifted themselves from the ground and glared at Orochimaru as the Bensha that had been standing quietly melted back into a small amount of blood lying on the ground. With a faint smirk tugging at her lips she spoke.

"Hey snake boy. I'm back." Setsuko taunted.
