Konnichi Wa Minna-san!
A/N: Attention! Attention! Here is the next chapter. Aren't you glad I updated really early? After I read all your reviews, I just had to update. YOU GUYS made it possible for me to update early. Without all your reviews, I would have been discouraged and would have updated much later. So, you should thank yourselves for this early update.
Warnings: Spoilers to manga 185 'till current chapters I guess. The spoilers are only for the characters showing up and the jutsus they uses, but not for the storyline. For the jutsus, I didn't use all the jutsus that they used in the manga. I also made up new jutsus for them to use I think that's all for now.

This chapter: Naruto uses the kinjutsu that Jiraiya told him not to use under any circumstances except to protect the ones you love. The kinjutsu is used to protect Sasuke from the four sound-nins. What can Naruto do when the kinjutsu is used? A jutsu is called a kinjutsu for a reason. What is the reason for Naruto's Kinjutsu?

Chapter 8
Doozo!
0o0o0o0o0o
Naruto brought his hands together in concentration. He gathered his chakra; bits by bits coming together. 'Kyubi...Let's do this' Naruto thought while concentrating. Blue chakra began to become visible around Naruto. The air became heavy. Kei, who was glaring down Orochimaru, turned to glance at Naruto. Her eyes widened as she saw the air around Naruto turned from light blue to dark blue.
All the while Naruto was gathering chakra, he continued to form seals. With one final seal Naruto shouted, "Nipou: Shinigami no Kotozuke no Jutsu! (Ninja Technique: Grim Ripper's Message!)"
The chakra around Naruto exploded and with it, came two copies of him. By this time Orochimaru had brought his attention over to Naruto. Whatever he wanted to say to Kei was forgotten. Orochimaru quirked up an eyebrow in surprise. Kei let out a gasp. She was totally unaware that Naruto could use a jutsu such as this, though she has never heard of it.
Naruto smirked and turned to his left and looked at his clone. Then he turned to his right and looked at the other clone. The two clones looked at him as if asking him if he was ready. Naruto nodded and gave the signal for the clones to do what they intended. The clones nodded back. The two clones turned away from Naruto and looked ahead of them. They brought their hands together. They concentrated their attention on molding their chakras. A slow glow began to form around each of the clone. Instead of blue glow, it was red. Their hands moved, forming seals. The motion of the hands were fast. Orochimaru and Kei continued to look on, unable to expect what would happen next. The four who were standing in front of Sasuke stared at Naruto with a slight annoyed look. 'It's just another version of the Kage Bushin no Jutsu' Kidoumaru thought, the fingers on each of his arms itched with the need to beat Naruto to the ground. 'Che, bastard. Who does he think he is? Showing off like that in front of me. You watch out bastard, you won't be showing off when I'm through with you' Tayuya snorted. 'Hm...' Sakon thought, a little interested in what would happen next. 'Brat...' Jiroubou thought with clenched fists.
With the last of the seals formed, ones that Naruto had formed before, the two clones shouted in unison, "Ninpou: Shinigami no Kotozuke no Jutsu." Like what happened before two more copies of Naruto appeared, one on each side of the clones. The four copies looked at Naruto in the middle. Naruto nodded and they all turned to face the four before them. "This is the end for you. I will take back Sasuke, you bastards. I've wanted to use this technique awhile now but couldn't get the chance to. But the opportunity revealed itself and now, you will all die before me," Naruto said with a smirk. He glanced over to meet Sasuke and held his gaze. Naruto smiled a bit before bringing his gaze back to the four in front of him.
"Before we do anything, I would like to introduce my other halves," Naruto said and turned to face the clone on the farthest left, not really care what the other four thought. "This is Naruto of Earth." "Yo" the clone said with a wide smirk.
"And over here," Naruto pointed to the one next to him, still to his left, "This is Naruto of Water." "Greetings bastards," the clone said, now also with a smirk on his face. "Let's continue. He," Naruto pointed to the clone next to him but on his right, "is Naruto of Fire."
"Let's dance," the clone said; his face showed a mixture of a smirk and a grin. Naruto pointed to the last of the clone and said, "And he is Naruto of Lightning." The clone fisted his palm and pointed his thump up. He brought his thumb-up out in front of him and smirk with the glint of satisfaction, "Let's get wild."
Naruto turned to the four sound-nins in front of him and smirked, "And last but not least, me. I am Naruto of the Wind. It's great to make your acquaintance again," Naruto said through his wide smirk on his face. The four sound ninjas in front of him clenched their fists at their sides totally pissed. Orochimaru smirked. His eyes now fully showed deep interest. He had never heard or seen any jutsu like this before. Through the eye of a regular ninja, the technique would like a normal Kage Bushin no Jutsu, but through a more experienced and stronger ninja's eye, it is not just that. It is something more.
Kei looked over at Naruto. She was speechless. She had no idea that Naruto was this powerful. She had only thought that he was at a high Chuunin level or a mid Jounin level, but never this. This seems way above Jounin level, even above Anbu level. Kei clenched her fist. How much has she missed? How much of Naruto's life has she missed? Kei gritted her teeth together. She didn't want to miss anymore of Naruto's life; she wanted to be apart of it. She wanted to live it with him.
"Now that all the introductions are done, let's get to business." Naruto said. With that said Naruto turned to the lightning clone and motioned him into action. The clone nodded and brought his hands together. Red chakra surrounded him and he disappeared in an instance. He quickly reappeared with Sasuke in his arms. The four sound-nins saw Sasuke in front of them in the clone's arms. They realized what just happened and spun around. The body of Sasuke, who they were supposed to guard, was supposed to be there on the ground. Sasuke was no longer there. He was now in the protection of the Narutos.
Sasuke felt himself being lifted up. He opened his eyes, which he closed because of the injury he received was bothering him. His eyes opened to see crystal clear blue eyes of Naruto. "Wha-" Sasuke mouthed before shutting himself up as he glanced around. He was now being held by one of the Naruto that was there. "It's alright now," the lighting clone whispered, voice calm and gentle. "Naruto?" Sasuke asked. The other four turned around to face Sasuke, eyes clearly showing worry. "Sasuke, we will protect you, even if we die." The Naruto in the middle said. The others nodded. The lighting clone let Sasuke to the ground, his back to a tree behind them. The clone got up and made his way to the front. The water clone, the fire clone, and the earth clone made their way to the front while Naruto stepped back. His back was to Sasuke but he was sure that his face showed of determination and clear blue eyes as Sasuke had seen many times before.
"I'll leave it to you guys," Naruto said and brought his hands together. The others turned to Naruto and gave him a worried look. "Will you be okay?" the lighting clone asked him.
Naruto waved them off. "Don't worry about me. I'll be able to handle it." The others nodded at him and once again turned their attention at the four sound-nins in front of them. "Let's rock," all four Narutos said at once. They got into defensive stances. The four sound-nins looked at Orochimaru as if to ask his permission. Orochimaru nodded. The four stepped forward after their permission was given. "It's nice to meet you, stupid brats. I'll tear you from limb to limb, bastards. My name is Tayuya," Tayuya introduced herself, not holding back on the insults and threats.
"Heed her words, brats. She'll make you sorry you've been born. I'll help her out, without a doubt. Kidoumaru's my name," Kidoumaru said, his six arms moving about.
"Brats. You'll be living hell soon. I, Jiroubou, will make sure that happens," the big sized ninja said. Sakon stood by him and grin at the Narutos before him. "It is over for you, good for nothing brats. I am Sakon and I will enjoy bringing you on your one way trip to hell."
The Narutos listened to one after another. They didn't flinch at all, just listened. When the four sound-nins were done, they took a step forward. The four sound-nins did the same and stepped forward. They split up, one on one. Jiroubou with the earth clone, Kidoumaru with the fire clone, Sakon with the water clone, and Tayuya with the lighting clone.
Behind them, Naruto gathered his hands and began forming seals. Sasuke tried to stand but soon found himself unable to get up. His limbs seemed to be clued to the ground by unknown force.
With the last seal formed Naruto whispered, "Kaze no Hogo no Jutsu (Wind's Protection)." The air around Naruto and Sasuke swirled and danced. The wind was visible as it moves. The wind around them surrounded and created a shield around them.
With his shield in place, Naruto relaxed a bit. He turned around to look at Sasuke and smiled. "We should be safe for now," Naruto said. He bent down and examined Sasuke. "How are you doing, Sasuke?"
Sasuke opened his mouth say something but closed it. He opened it again and said, "I'm fine."
Naruto quirked up an eyebrow. "Che, stubborn as ever." Naruto smiled at that. "Please hang on 'till the end," he said quietly. Sasuke nodded. Naruto stood and turned around facing the scene in front of him. Each group had distanced themselves a bit from each other preparing to go at it.
The earth clone and Jiroubou were having a staring contest. They continued to stare, no one making any move. Then the clone spoke, "Let's fight already. Are you scared or something?" the clone smirked as Jiroubou's expression changed. He charged at the earth clone and began to throw out punches. The clone evaded every single punch that came his way. Jiroubou jumped back and brought his hands together. Seals were formed as Jiroubou gathered his chakra. With the last seal formed, he yelled, "Doton: Doryo Dango (Earth element: Mud Cannonball)." The ground began to move as mud rose. The mud began to take shape of a cannonball. Jiroubou raised his arm into the air and slung it 30 degrees back. He shot his arm forward and the cannonball shot forward. The cannonball came at the earth. With one leap, the clone jumped into the air barely avoiding the oncoming cannonball. The clone glanced back at where he was standing and his eyes widened in surprise.
Where the clone had just stood was a whole 7 feet deep and 3 feet wide. He shot his attention back to Jiroubou. Another cannonball came flying at him. With quick hand movements, the clone finished forming numerous seals and said, "Doton: Doroku Gaeshi (Earth element: Earth shield)." The ground shook a bit before a door-sized wall sprung up from the ground in front of the clone. The cannonball came in contact with the wall and both the cannonball and the wall disappeared into nothing. The clone looked over at Jiroubou and smirked. "Why don't you show me your real power? I know that is not the best you can do," the clone said. Jiroubou blinked. He clenched his fists and stood up straight. "Heh. If that is what you want, I will give it to you brat," Jiroubou snorted out. He swung his out and clenched his fists. He concentrated his chakra and prepared for his transformation to 'level 2'.
While Jiroubou were concentrating his chakra, the other clones had also begun their battle. The battle between the fire clone and Kidoumaru was getting heated up. The clone had landed a few punches on Kidoumaru before he found himself trapped in Kidoumaru's web. The clone struggled but found that the he couldn't get away. The web was really strong. Kidoumaru spun his web and formed a spear with it. He aimed for the trapped clone. The clone saw Kidoumaru aiming the spear at him. The clone's hand alighted on fire.
"Fire won't work, brat. My web is invulnerable to everything. It can't be cut, ripped or even burned. It is over for you," Kidoumaru exclaimed bringing his arm back ready to thrust the spear at the clone.
"Heh," the fire clone snorted. He swung both his arms and was freed from the web. "I thought you said it couldn't be burned." The clone smirked as he looked up at Kidoumaru who was standing on a tree in front of him.
Kidoumaru's eyes widened, surprised that his web was easily burned. "Bastard," he shot at the clone. He let his arms thrust forward and threw the spear at the clone. The fire clone looked indifferently at the spear coming at him. The clone suddenly opened his mouth and blew at the spear, now 5 feet away from him. The spear caught on fire and all that was remained was the ash of the web that formed it. The clone looked up at Kidoumaru and smirked. "That is not it. I thought you were going to beat the hell out of me? If this keeps up, I will burn you alive. Show me your true power before I do that, will you?" His smirk widened as he saw Kidoumaru glared at him and clenched his fists. He brought his hands together and concentrated. The step toward 'level 2' has been taken.
To their right, the water clone and Sakon were having a fist to fist battle. Punches after punches, kicks after kicks flew; none actually connected as the two easily blocked and countered with their own fists. Sakon threw a hard punch at the clone. The clone was able to block in time but was pushed backwards by the power of the punch. The clone pushed hard on the ground and slid across the floor. "Heh, not bad," the water clone said. The clone got up and came at Sakon again. The clone kicked at Sakon's head. The kick was blocked. He threw a punch at Sakon's side while his other arm went for Sakon's head. Sakon's arm went out to block the punch to the side but didn't retreat to stop the punch to his head. The clone thought that he was able to land a punch on the sound-nin, but something came out of nowhere and punched him backward.
The clone looked at the sound-nin before him. 'What was that?' he thought. Sakon straightened and smirked. "What's wrong? Tired already?"
"Che, as if," the clone snorted. 'Hm...maybe if I...' The clone spread his left palm and brought his arm up. Sakon quirked up an eyebrow. Water appeared behind the water clone. The water elevated in the air. With the spread palm, the water clone grasped the water behind him. The water did not fall out of the clone's hand but stayed in place. With his right hand, the clone began to pick at the water in his left palm. The water in his right hand crystallized and he shot it at Sakon. Sakon stepped to the side to avoid the crystallized water. More crystallized water came at Sakon. Sakon had to jump to avoid the bullets coming at him. More came at him faster. The bullets came at him from all angles. He had to use his arms to block and stop the bullets.
The clone's eyes narrowed as he saw how Sakon was able to block each and every of his crystallized water bullets. "I see," the clone exclaimed. "Why don't you come on out? Now that I know you're there, there's no use in hiding." Sakon looked at the water clone with widened eyes.
"Well done, I congratulate you on finding me out," a voice said. The voice came from behind Sakon. The lump on Sakon appeared at his shoulder. The lump looked up and and grinned. The clone smirked. There was another head that was attached to Sakon's shoulder. "Nice to meet you brat. I am Sakon's brother, Ukon," the lump on Sakon's shoulder said.
"Now that you know about me, let us continue," Ukon said. "Yeah, let us," the clone said with a smirk. Now that he knew that there were two of them in one body it was easier to anticipate anything that comes. The water clone charged at Sakon again. Kicks and punches once again flew, but none connected. The water clone jumped back to avoid a punch to his head. He brought his hands together and gathered the chakra he needed. The water that was behind the clone flowed back to the lake. The clone jumped backward again and landed on top of the water that was in the lake. "Let's take the battle over here. On ground is just to boring," the clone exclaimed. Sakon shrugged and made his way toward the lake. Sakon stepped on the water and walked over to the water clone.
"Heh heh, you fell into my trap. Now that you are on water, you are now in my realm," the water clone exclaimed with a smirk. "This is the end for you." The clone lifted his arms. Water spikes came up as the clone lifted his arms. The clone closed his palms and the water spikes began to crystallize. "Prepare yourself," the clone said to Sakon. Sakon made no move to heed the clone's warning. The clone flung his arms forward and the crystallized spikes came flying toward Sakon and his brother. The clone smirked as he noticed that Sakon did not notice that there were other crystallized spikes behind them.
Sakon easily dodged the spikes that came from the front but were unable to dodge the spikes from the back. The spikes pierced through Sakon's stomach muscles. Two went into Sakon's body but he was able to dodge the last spike. Sakon glared at the water clone as his blood dripped into the water below. "Brother, you have to get out now, before you get injured too," Sakon to his brother. Ukon nodded. In mere seconds, two enemies appeared before the water clone. He has to double his effort to defeat the two brothers.
"Hey guys!" the clone yelled toward the two brothers. "Why don't we just cut the chitchats and get to the chase. Show me what you really got. If you don't, you will die now," the water clone exclaimed.
"Che, let's take him down Ukon." With that said, Sakon and his brother fisted their fists and gathered their energies. When they are done, they will reach 'level 2'.
As Sakon and Ukon gathered their chakra, Tayuya and the lighting clone were also at the end of their battle. Tayuya, for the last 3 to 5 minutes, has spat out any and all curses she knew at the lighting clone. Tayuya's weapon was the flute in her hand. Before her were three zombies that she was able to control with the sound of her flute. She has sent the zombie-like mummy- like pawn at the lighting clone, trying to strike him down, but none had landed a punch on him. The clone moved with lighting speed and left the pawns in his trail.
Tayuya blew her flute again, commanding her pawns to attack the lighting clone. The clone saw them coming and easily avoided them with his speed. The clone looked back at the pawns and noticed that there was only two out of the three pawns behind him. He stopped and searched around. A fist came flying at him knocked him backwards. 'Bastard' the clone cursed. The clone quickly got to his feet and was able to dodge the three pawns that were on his tail. He moved around and drew the pawns to him. The lighting clone thought it was time to go on the offensive and went after the pawns instead of waiting for them to come after him. He ran to the closest pawn he saw and threw a punch at him. With his lighting speed added to the punch along with his strength, the pawn flew back 20 feet due to the impact of the punch. Next, he went after the other two. The other two soon was in the same position as the first pawn. All three pawns were lying on the ground not moving due to fact that their owner had stop playing her flute. The lighting clone turned to look at Tayuya. Tayuya clenched her fists. "You bastard. Damn bastard. Stupid brat." Curses continued to fly out of her mouth at the lighting clone.
"Hey, Tayuya-san," the lighting clone smirked as he teased Tayuya. "You stink. You won't get me like that. Show me what you can really do. If not, I'll come after you next, Tayuya-san," the lighting clone said with a smirk.
Tayuya's expression went from pissed to totally pissed. Her face went red with anger. Her mouth moved though nothing came out. Tayuya brought her hands together eyes narrowed with hatred. "Stupid bastard, I'll rip your gut out," Tayuya yelled at the lighting clone. Through the frustration, Tayuya concentrated her energy and began the transformation to 'level 2'.
During the transformation to 'level 2' of the four ninja, Orochimaru was observing Naruto in the wind shield. Kei was watching the clones fighting their battle. She was totally amazed. Not even the 'third' jutsu can match this level of jutsu.
Feet sliding across the ground distracted Kei and Orochimaru from the battles before them. Kakashi appeared in the cloud of dust. Kakashi scanned the area. His gaze came upon the battles between the clones and the sound- nins. His gaze searched for Kei. When he had found her, his eyes widened as he saw who was close to her. Standing about 5 feet away from Kei was Orochimaru. Orochimaru grinned as he saw Kakashi looking his way. Kei's eyes widened as she saw Kakashi.
Kakashi rushed over to Kei's side. "Kei! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Kakashi said in a rush. "I'm fine Kakashi. Don't worry about it," Kei said. She gazed over at Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, I need to settle things with you. You are not going to leave if you don't fight me." Kakashi looked at Kei worriedly. What he feared had came true. Kei turned to Kakashi. "Kakashi, I'm going to settle with that bastard over there, so please don't jump in," Kei said softly.
"No, I can't do that. I won't lose you like last time. Now that I'm here, I'll never let anything happen to you," Kakashi said sternly. Orochimaru smiled at the two. He was going to have some fun today. He needed to get things done, but he couldn't help but have a little fun.
Kei grasped both of Kakashi's arms and turned him to her. "Kakashi, please listen to me," Kei pleaded. "Kei, you promised that you would fight him with me not by yourself," Kakashi exclaimed.
"I know I did, but, please Kakashi. This fight means everything to me. I don't want the 9 years I've spent training and searching for him to go to waste. I must avenge my precious Kabe. I also want to live the rest of my life with Naruto." Kei looked over a Naruto and gave a warm smile. "I will not be able to settle down with a life with Naruto if this fight goes is not fought. Please understand Kakashi," Kei said softly. Kei wrapped her arms around Kakashi and hugged him.
"Kei...I don't want to lose you..." Kakashi whispered sadly. "You're not going to lose me, Kakashi," Kei said breaking free of their hug and looked up at him. "How about this? If you think that my life is in danger, you can jump in, but only if I am an inch from death," Kei added sternly. Kakashi nodded. "I'm so sorry I wasn't there to stop him from taking Kabe from you," Kakashi said into Kei's hair as he hugged her.
"You don't have to be sorry." Kei hugged Kakashi back before breaking free and turning to Orochimaru. "Let's go bastard. I still have to make you pay."
Orochimaru smirked. "I'll have some fun with you Kei. I'll be sure to end you life like the way I ended Kabe's. I'll send you to him."
Kei clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. ''Nisan, please help me take down Orochimaru. I have to stay alive to live with Naruto' Kei thought as she walked away from Kakashi and stopped in front of Orochimaru. 'Kabe...'
TBC...

Showing off like that in front of me. You watch out bastard, you won't be showing off when I'm through with you' Tayuya snorted. 'Hm...' Sakon thought, a little interested in what would happen next. 'Brat...' Jiroubou thought with clenched fists.
With the last of the seals formed, ones that Naruto had formed before, the two clones shouted in unison, "Ninpou: Shinigami no Kotozuke no Jutsu." Like what happened before two more copies of Naruto appeared, one on each side of the clones. The four copies looked at Naruto in the middle. Naruto nodded and they all turned to face the four before them. "This is the end for you. I will take back Sasuke, you bastards. I've wanted to use this technique awhile now but couldn't get the chance to. But the opportunity revealed itself and now, you will all die before me," Naruto said with a smirk. He glanced over to meet Sasuke and held his gaze. Naruto smiled a bit before bringing his gaze back to the four in front of him.
"Before we do anything, I would like to introduce my other halves," Naruto said and turned to face the clone on the farthest left, not really care what the other four thought. "This is Naruto of Earth." "Yo" the clone said with a wide smirk.
"And over here," Naruto pointed to the one next to him, still to his left, "This is Naruto of Water." "Greetings bastards," the clone said, now also with a smirk on his face. "Let's continue. He," Naruto pointed to the clone next to him but on his right, "is Naruto of Fire."
"Let's dance," the clone said; his face showed a mixture of a smirk and a grin. Naruto pointed to the last of the clone and said, "And he is Naruto of Lightning." The clone fisted his palm and pointed his thump up. He brought his thumb-up out in front of him and smirk with the glint of satisfaction, "Let's get wild."
Naruto turned to the four sound-nins in front of him and smirked, "And last but not least, me. I am Naruto of the Wind. It's great to make your acquaintance again," Naruto said through his wide smirk on his face. The four sound ninjas in front of him clenched their fists at their sides totally pissed. Orochimaru smirked. His eyes now fully showed deep interest. He had never heard or seen any jutsu like this before. Through the eye of a regular ninja, the technique would like a normal Kage Bushin no Jutsu, but through a more experienced and stronger ninja's eye, it is not just that. It is something more.
Kei looked over at Naruto. She was speechless. She had no idea that Naruto was this powerful. She had only thought that he was at a high Chuunin level or a mid Jounin level, but never this. This seems way above Jounin level, even above Anbu level. Kei clenched her fist. How much has she missed? How much of Naruto's life has she missed? Kei gritted her teeth together. She didn't want to miss anymore of Naruto's life; she wanted to be apart of it. She wanted to live it with him.
"Now that all the introductions are done, let's get to business." Naruto said. With that said Naruto turned to the lightning clone and motioned him into action. The clone nodded and brought his hands together. Red chakra surrounded him and he disappeared in an instance. He quickly reappeared with Sasuke in his arms. The four sound-nins saw Sasuke in front of them in the clone's arms. They realized what just happened and spun around. The body of Sasuke, who they were supposed to guard, was supposed to be there on the ground. Sasuke was no longer there. He was now in the protection of the Narutos.
Sasuke felt himself being lifted up. He opened his eyes, which he closed because of the injury he received was bothering him. His eyes opened to see crystal clear blue eyes of Naruto. "Wha-" Sasuke mouthed before shutting himself up as he glanced around. He was now being held by one of the Naruto that was there. "It's alright now," the lighting clone whispered, voice calm and gentle. "Naruto?" Sasuke asked. The other four turned around to face Sasuke, eyes clearly showing worry. "Sasuke, we will protect you, even if we die." The Naruto in the middle said. The others nodded. The lighting clone let Sasuke to the ground, his back to a tree behind them. The clone got up and made his way to the front. The water clone, the fire clone, and the earth clone made their way to the front while Naruto stepped back. His back was to Sasuke but he was sure that his face showed of determination and clear blue eyes as Sasuke had seen many times before.
"I'll leave it to you guys," Naruto said and brought his hands together. The others turned to Naruto and gave him a worried look. "Will you be okay?" the lighting clone asked him.
Naruto waved them off. "Don't worry about me. I'll be able to handle it." The others nodded at him and once again turned their attention at the four sound-nins in front of them. "Let's rock," all four Narutos said at once. They got into defensive stances. The four sound-nins looked at Orochimaru as if to ask his permission. Orochimaru nodded. The four stepped forward after their permission was given. "It's nice to meet you, stupid brats. I'll tear you from limb to limb, bastards. My name is Tayuya," Tayuya introduced herself, not holding back on the insults and threats.
"Heed her words, brats. She'll make you sorry you've been born. I'll help her out, without a doubt. Kidoumaru's my name," Kidoumaru said, his six arms moving about.
"Brats. You'll be living hell soon. I, Jiroubou, will make sure that happens," the big sized ninja said. Sakon stood by him and grin at the Narutos before him. "It is over for you, good for nothing brats. I am Sakon and I will enjoy bringing you on your one way trip to hell."
The Narutos listened to one after another. They didn't flinch at all, just listened. When the four sound-nins were done, they took a step forward. The four sound-nins did the same and stepped forward. They split up, one on one. Jiroubou with the earth clone, Kidoumaru with the fire clone, Sakon with the water clone, and Tayuya with the lighting clone.
Behind them, Naruto gathered his hands and began forming seals. Sasuke tried to stand but soon found himself unable to get up. His limbs seemed to be clued to the ground by unknown force.
With the last seal formed Naruto whispered, "Kaze no Hogo no Jutsu (Wind's Protection)." The air around Naruto and Sasuke swirled and danced. The wind was visible as it moves. The wind around them surrounded and created a shield around them.
With his shield in place, Naruto relaxed a bit. He turned around to look at Sasuke and smiled. "We should be safe for now," Naruto said. He bent down and examined Sasuke. "How are you doing, Sasuke?"
Sasuke opened his mouth say something but closed it. He opened it again and said, "I'm fine."
Naruto quirked up an eyebrow. "Che, stubborn as ever." Naruto smiled at that. "Please hang on 'till the end," he said quietly. Sasuke nodded. Naruto stood and turned around facing the scene in front of him. Each group had distanced themselves a bit from each other preparing to go at it.
The earth clone and Jiroubou were having a staring contest. They continued to stare, no one making any move. Then the clone spoke, "Let's fight already. Are you scared or something?" the clone smirked as Jiroubou's expression changed. He charged at the earth clone and began to throw out punches. The clone evaded every single punch that came his way. Jiroubou jumped back and brought his hands together. Seals were formed as Jiroubou gathered his chakra. With the last seal formed, he yelled, "Doton: Doryo Dango (Earth element: Mud Cannonball)." The ground began to move as mud rose. The mud began to take shape of a cannonball. Jiroubou raised his arm into the air and slung it 30 degrees back. He shot his arm forward and the cannonball shot forward. The cannonball came at the earth. With one leap, the clone jumped into the air barely avoiding the oncoming cannonball. The clone glanced back at where he was standing and his eyes widened in surprise.
Where the clone had just stood was a whole 7 feet deep and 3 feet wide. He shot his attention back to Jiroubou. Another cannonball came flying at him. With quick hand movements, the clone finished forming numerous seals and said, "Doton: Doroku Gaeshi (Earth element: Earth shield)." The ground shook a bit before a door-sized wall sprung up from the ground in front of the clone. The cannonball came in contact with the wall and both the cannonball and the wall disappeared into nothing. The clone looked over at Jiroubou and smirked. "Why don't you show me your real power? I know that is not the best you can do," the clone said. Jiroubou blinked. He clenched his fists and stood up straight. "Heh. If that is what you want, I will give it to you brat," Jiroubou snorted out. He swung his out and clenched his fists. He concentrated his chakra and prepared for his transformation to 'level 2'.
While Jiroubou were concentrating his chakra, the other clones had also begun their battle. The battle between the fire clone and Kidoumaru was getting heated up. The clone had landed a few punches on Kidoumaru before he found himself trapped in Kidoumaru's web. The clone struggled but found that the he couldn't get away. The web was really strong. Kidoumaru spun his web and formed a spear with it. He aimed for the trapped clone. The clone saw Kidoumaru aiming the spear at him. The clone's hand alighted on fire.
"Fire won't work, brat. My web is invulnerable to everything. It can't be cut, ripped or even burned. It is over for you," Kidoumaru exclaimed bringing his arm back ready to thrust the spear at the clone.
"Heh," the fire clone snorted. He swung both his arms and was freed from the web. "I thought you said it couldn't be burned." The clone smirked as he looked up at Kidoumaru who was standing on a tree in front of him.
Kidoumaru's eyes widened, surprised that his web was easily burned. "Bastard," he shot at the clone. He let his arms thrust forward and threw the spear at the clone. The fire clone looked indifferently at the spear coming at him. The clone suddenly opened his mouth and blew at the spear, now 5 feet away from him. The spear caught on fire and all that was remained was the ash of the web that formed it. The clone looked up at Kidoumaru and smirked. "That is not it. I thought you were going to beat the hell out of me? If this keeps up, I will burn you alive. Show me your true power before I do that, will you?" His smirk widened as he saw Kidoumaru glared at him and clenched his fists. He brought his hands together and concentrated. The step toward 'level 2' has been taken.
To their right, the water clone and Sakon were having a fist to fist battle. Punches after punches, kicks after kicks flew; none actually connected as the two easily blocked and countered with their own fists. Sakon threw a hard punch at the clone. The clone was able to block in time but was pushed backwards by the power of the punch. The clone pushed hard on the ground and slid across the floor. "Heh, not bad," the water clone said. The clone got up and came at Sakon again. The clone kicked at Sakon's head. The kick was blocked. He threw a punch at Sakon's side while his other arm went for Sakon's head. Sakon's arm went out to block the punch to the side but didn't retreat to stop the punch to his head. The clone thought that he was able to land a punch on the sound-nin, but something came out of nowhere and punched him backward.
The clone looked at the sound-nin before him. 'What was that?' he thought. Sakon straightened and smirked. "What's wrong? Tired already?"
"Che, as if," the clone snorted. 'Hm...maybe if I...' The clone spread his left palm and brought his arm up. Sakon quirked up an eyebrow. Water appeared behind the water clone. The water elevated in the air. With the spread palm, the water clone grasped the water behind him. The water did not fall out of the clone's hand but stayed in place. With his right hand, the clone began to pick at the water in his left palm. The water in his right hand crystallized and he shot it at Sakon. Sakon stepped to the side to avoid the crystallized water. More crystallized water came at Sakon. Sakon had to jump to avoid the bullets coming at him. More came at him faster. The bullets came at him from all angles. He had to use his arms to block and stop the bullets.
The clone's eyes narrowed as he saw how Sakon was able to block each and every of his crystallized water bullets. "I see," the clone exclaimed. "Why don't you come on out? Now that I know you're there, there's no use in hiding." Sakon looked at the water clone with widened eyes.
"Well done, I congratulate you on finding me out," a voice said. The voice came from behind Sakon. The lump on Sakon appeared at his shoulder. The lump looked up and and grinned. The clone smirked. There was another head that was attached to Sakon's shoulder. "Nice to meet you brat. I am Sakon's brother, Ukon," the lump on Sakon's shoulder said.
"Now that you know about me, let us continue," Ukon said. "Yeah, let us," the clone said with a smirk. Now that he knew that there were two of them in one body it was easier to anticipate anything that comes. The water clone charged at Sakon again. Kicks and punches once again flew, but none connected. The water clone jumped back to avoid a punch to his head. He brought his hands together and gathered the chakra he needed. The water that was behind the clone flowed back to the lake. The clone jumped backward again and landed on top of the water that was in the lake. "Let's take the battle over here. On ground is just to boring," the clone exclaimed. Sakon shrugged and made his way toward the lake. Sakon stepped on the water and walked over to the water clone.
"Heh heh, you fell into my trap. Now that you are on water, you are now in my realm," the water clone exclaimed with a smirk. "This is the end for you." The clone lifted his arms. Water spikes came up as the clone lifted his arms. The clone closed his palms and the water spikes began to crystallize. "Prepare yourself," the clone said to Sakon. Sakon made no move to heed the clone's warning. The clone flung his arms forward and the crystallized spikes came flying toward Sakon and his brother. The clone smirked as he noticed that Sakon did not notice that there were other crystallized spikes behind them.
Sakon easily dodged the spikes that came from the front but were unable to dodge the spikes from the back. The spikes pierced through Sakon's stomach muscles. Two went into Sakon's body but he was able to dodge the last spike. Sakon glared at the water clone as his blood dripped into the water below. "Brother, you have to get out now, before you get injured too," Sakon to his brother. Ukon nodded. In mere seconds, two enemies appeared before the water clone. He has to double his effort to defeat the two brothers.
"Hey guys!" the clone yelled toward the two brothers. "Why don't we just cut the chitchats and get to the chase. Show me what you really got. If you don't, you will die now," the water clone exclaimed.
"Che, let's take him down Ukon." With that said, Sakon and his brother fisted their fists and gathered their energies. When they are done, they will reach 'level 2'.
As Sakon and Ukon gathered their chakra, Tayuya and the lighting clone were also at the end of their battle. Tayuya, for the last 3 to 5 minutes, has spat out any and all curses she knew at the lighting clone. Tayuya's weapon was the flute in her hand. Before her were three zombies that she was able to control with the sound of her flute. She has sent the zombie-like mummy- like pawn at the lighting clone, trying to strike him down, but none had landed a punch on him. The clone moved with lighting speed and left the pawns in his trail.
Tayuya blew her flute again, commanding her pawns to attack the lighting clone. The clone saw them coming and easily avoided them with his speed. The clone looked back at the pawns and noticed that there was only two out of the three pawns behind him. He stopped and searched around. A fist came flying at him knocked him backwards. 'Bastard' the clone cursed. The clone quickly got to his feet and was able to dodge the three pawns that were on his tail. He moved around and drew the pawns to him. The lighting clone thought it was time to go on the offensive and went after the pawns instead of waiting for them to come after him. He ran to the closest pawn he saw and threw a punch at him. With his lighting speed added to the punch along with his strength, the pawn flew back 20 feet due to the impact of the punch. Next, he went after the other two. The other two soon was in the same position as the first pawn. All three pawns were lying on the ground not moving due to fact that their owner had stop playing her flute. The lighting clone turned to look at Tayuya. Tayuya clenched her fists. "You bastard. Damn bastard. Stupid brat." Curses continued to fly out of her mouth at the lighting clone.
"Hey, Tayuya-san," the lighting clone smirked as he teased Tayuya. "You stink. You won't get me like that. Show me what you can really do. If not, I'll come after you next, Tayuya-san," the lighting clone said with a smirk.
Tayuya's expression went from pissed to totally pissed. Her face went red with anger. Her mouth moved though nothing came out. Tayuya brought her hands together eyes narrowed with hatred. "Stupid bastard, I'll rip your gut out," Tayuya yelled at the lighting clone. Through the frustration, Tayuya concentrated her energy and began the transformation to 'level 2'.
During the transformation to 'level 2' of the four ninja, Orochimaru was observing Naruto in the wind shield. Kei was watching the clones fighting their battle. She was totally amazed. Not even the 'third' jutsu can match this level of jutsu.
Feet sliding across the ground distracted Kei and Orochimaru from the battles before them. Kakashi appeared in the cloud of dust. Kakashi scanned the area. His gaze came upon the battles between the clones and the sound- nins. His gaze searched for Kei. When he had found her, his eyes widened as he saw who was close to her. Standing about 5 feet away from Kei was Orochimaru. Orochimaru grinned as he saw Kakashi looking his way. Kei's eyes widened as she saw Kakashi.
Kakashi rushed over to Kei's side. "Kei! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Kakashi said in a rush. "I'm fine Kakashi. Don't worry about it," Kei said. She gazed over at Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, I need to settle things with you. You are not going to leave if you don't fight me." Kakashi looked at Kei worriedly. What he feared had came true. Kei turned to Kakashi. "Kakashi, I'm going to settle with that bastard over there, so please don't jump in," Kei said softly.
"No, I can't do that. I won't lose you like last time. Now that I'm here, I'll never let anything happen to you," Kakashi said sternly. Orochimaru smiled at the two. He was going to have some fun today. He needed to get things done, but he couldn't help but have a little fun.
Kei grasped both of Kakashi's arms and turned him to her. "Kakashi, please listen to me," Kei pleaded. "Kei, you promised that you would fight him with me not by yourself," Kakashi exclaimed.
"I know I did, but, please Kakashi. This fight means everything to me. I don't want the 9 years I've spent training and searching for him to go to waste. I must avenge my precious Kabe. I also want to live the rest of my life with Naruto." Kei looked over a Naruto and gave a warm smile. "I will not be able to settle down with a life with Naruto if this fight goes is not fought. Please understand Kakashi," Kei said softly. Kei wrapped her arms around Kakashi and hugged him.
"Kei...I don't want to lose you..." Kakashi whispered sadly. "You're not going to lose me, Kakashi," Kei said breaking free of their hug and looked up at him. "How about this? If you think that my life is in danger, you can jump in, but only if I am an inch from death," Kei added sternly. Kakashi nodded. "I'm so sorry I wasn't there to stop him from taking Kabe from you," Kakashi said into Kei's hair as he hugged her.
"You don't have to be sorry." Kei hugged Kakashi back before breaking free and turning to Orochimaru. "Let's go bastard. I still have to make you pay."
Orochimaru smirked. "I'll have some fun with you Kei. I'll be sure to end you life like the way I ended Kabe's. I'll send you to him."
Kei clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. ''Nisan, please help me take down Orochimaru. I have to stay alive to live with Naruto' Kei thought as she walked away from Kakashi and stopped in front of Orochimaru. 'Kabe...'
