". . ." speech
'. . .' thought
-I thought about how I should translate the techniques (English or Japanese) and decided that I will translate Ninja techniques and not Hiten Mitsuruugi Techniques (they sound so much better in Japanese, LoL). Well, that's all. Enjoy R&R!
"Kill. Kill you all. I'LL KILL YOU ALL!" yelled the Hiten Mitsuruugi master as for the first time in her life all the emotions that she had ever felt of being not able to stop the world from running down the inevitable path of destruction rush into her. "I'll show you all that what you call peace here is nothing more than conveniently packaged none sense, nothing more. Prepare for Tenchuu!"
Chapter 8: Fight Interlude
By Suiiren
"Kill. Us. All? What does she mean she will kill us all!" Shikato demanded turning towards his friends Chomaru and Inoshin. "What does she mean she wants to kill us? What happened while my eyes were closed! Inoshin, TELL ME!"
"The boy, the container of the Nine Tails, Naruto, had jumped in front of Hayate's attack. Saving the girl but . . . in the process he had gotten himself . . . killed." said his friend Chomaru all of a suddenly. "His will to protect someone he really cared about came out and at that one moment he didn't even give a moments thought about dying in the process. He's exactly like 'him.' Always ready to sacrifice himself or help someone else without a seconds thought. What have we done? How can we ever honor the image of the Fourth now? Damn it, this is not right!"
"What do you mean Chomaru?"
"That's enough Shikato, just take a look over there." said Inoshin slowly and remorsefully as he pointed towards where Hiko was standing. She was holding Naruto in her hands and there he appeared to have been dead.
"Oh no!" said Shikato slowly as the realization of what occurred had finally hit him. 'He's, he's dead . . . our last connection to the greatest hero of all of Konoha was dead. We did it, we murdered his legacy . . . his sacrifice. All this in the name of peace?' thought Shikato slowly. Shock was apparent on his face now.
"Stupid. Why are people so stupid." said Hiko slowly as she put Naruto down on the snow. The boy was still breathing but his heart beat and breath were erratic now. 'It won't be long now until he dies.'
"Young girl, now what are you planning to do? Please don't do anything rash or foolish now. We already have enough mistakes that have occurred today. Please do not add your own to this." said the Third calmly as he tried to calm down the girl now. 'This massive amount of chakra and spirit. Not only are both now taking physical form all around her but chakra has engulfed all of Konoha. She's doing it, she's exciting the spirit of all the natural living things in Konoha and they are releasing their chakra out. What is happening on here, if we don't keep things on a stable level a disaster as great of that as the Kyuubi might occur again!'
"Teh, mistake? Is that it? Did you all see this boy as a mistake?" said Hiko all of a suddenly anger and spite apparent in her voice.
"What the? What are you trying to say here miss?" said the Third questioningly.
'Enough with words, I am tired of speaking to those who will not listen. A simple battoujutsu should be enough to take care of those two.' thought Hiko as she stared upon Kakashi and Hayate standing next to a three storied building.
'Oh no, she is planning to attack us! We have to get out of here quick!' thought Kakashi as he and Hayate leapt away in a split second, narrowly dodging Hiko's attack. All Kakashi heard was giant crash before he looked behind to see that the building that was there was totally obliterated by the force of the girl's attack. 'She demolished that building there as if it were nothing. Who is this girl?' thought Kakashi worriedly.
As Hiko stood there in the rubble she knew that she had missed but was using the dust that was surrounding her as a shield to not her opponents see her. At least that was what she thought.
"Fire type – Empowered Fire Ball!" yelled Hayate as he blew the massive ball of flame towards the wreckage exploding on impact but-
"Do Ryu Sen!" yelled Hiko as she used the Earth technique to cancel out the attack that was directed towards at her creating another blast and an even larger veil of dust.
'She countered the Empowered Fireball Technique! How? Even a Jounin would have problems countering such a strong technique!' thought the Third as he stared on.
'Damn! Gotta do something before Hayate dies!' thought Kakashi as he was now in serious mode, Sharingan Eye exposed, pulling out two kunais.
"Where? Where did she go?" yelled Hayate out loud as he tried to look around for Hiko having not realized that Hiko was already atop of him. She had used the slight time delay (seconds) to leap on over Hayate and perform a Ryu Tsui Sen and descended upon Hayate connecting her katana with his flesh, blood splattering all over, except none had gotten on her.
"Uaaaagh!" yelled Hayate in pain as he felt the blade rush through his right shoulder and traveling down half the length of his chest causing blood to gush out. Meanwhile Hiko fell towards the ground and slammed down hard upon it with her legs, causing a crater to rip open in the earth, as she leaped towards the Hayate. Intent on finishing him with her next stroke but it hit something else as she all of a suddenly saw Hayate turn in to a piece of chair and disappear with a –poof!-.
'What the? What just happened, I'm sure I connected with that hit.' thought Hiko as she didn't realize that it was Kakashi who saved Hayate from his death. Kakashi had gotten close towards Hayate and used a dual Body Substitute Technique (Kawarimi) and barely managed to escape.
'Damn, where did they go?' thought Hiko still airborne. 'There!' she saw in the air as the two were on the ground now, one supporting the other.
'She's faster than Gai!' thought Kakashi as held on to a now pale Hayate. 'Damn, one move and he's nearly dead. If she were to hit me even once it could be fatal. I didn't even see her when she performed her first attack, she's moving too fast for the Sharingan to keep up with! Her movements . . . it seemed as if she were moving as she were aGod!"
"Inoshin, Chomaru! Get ready! We're going to go support Kakashi and the others! We can't let those two down there get killed!"
"Yes sir!"

"What is this stupidly tremendous amount of chakra!" yelled Hao in surprise in fear and excitement. "Nothing but demons can generate this much amount of chakra, can it? What or who can generate such an immense amount of chakra?"
"Ku ku ku, don't give our position away now Hao." said Orochimaru coolly. "And the answer to your question is . . . that girl!" said Orochimaru in equal surprise as he saw a girl in mid-air. 'I would think that it was actually a demon that appeared, since they seem to like to visit the Leaf so much,' thinking about how the Kyuubi almost destroyed Konoha. 'Is it possible that such people can exist nowadays?'
"What? A girl? What kind of stupid joke is this?" asked Hao slowly turning to Orochimaru. "You can't expect me to seriously think that this girl, who looks no more than sixteen, can exude such a presence!"
"Ku ku ku," laughed Orochimaru maniacally. "You surprise me everytime with these events, Sarutobi-sensei. Ku ku ku, we should should stay still for the moment Hao. We may never know what kind of events may occur now and to act without information will become most uncompromising later." finished off Orochimaru with another laugh. 'This is starting to amuse me more than I thought it would be. Maybe I could take care of Sarutobi-sensei later.' thought Orochimaru as his eyes and hands shook with anticipation at the chance of killing again.
'This guy bugs me,' thought Hao. 'I'll just wait for now. Unlike you Orochimaru I have something that I have to accomplish tonight.' "Sure Orochimaru, I'll wait . . . for now. Besides I have to find my prize tonight also. Don'tforget that Orochimaru."
"Why Hao, how can I forget such an important 'gift' for a friend like you." stated Orochimaru slyly as the two ceased chatting and headed towards where all the action was
= Back to the others =
"Multi-size technique!" yelled Chomaru as he did the hand seals and easily grew many times his size becoming larger than any building in Konoha.
"Fire Type-Mythical Fire Flower!" yelled Inoshin and Shikato at the same time as they both both combined their technique sending twice as many balls of flame at Hiko than it would if it were one person using it.
'Damn! I forgot about those three buffoons over there.' thought Hiko in her mind as she dodged the oncoming fireballs in mid-air. "Hn, was that it?" smirked Hiko arrogantly as she soon realized she had fallen in to a trap. There, to the side of her Chomaru had been able to rush up next her and with his enlarged rod swung down upon her causing a explosion of dust to appear as both Chomaru's rod and Hiko slammed into the ground.
"Heh, little girl that's what you get when you start to play with the big boys. You thought you could defeat the Ino-Shika-Cho trio? Well, let me tell you- "
"Hey you, geezer, would you shut up!" yelled Hiko suddenly as everyone in the surrounding area looked on in horror and amazement. There stood Hiko holding her katana in a horizontal block with both hands on the blunt side blocking Chomaru's enlarged rod. Not only that there was a large visible crack in Chomaru's rod. What came next horridified the already amazed bystanders even more. Hiko simply flexed her right arm and coolly smashed the back end of her katana with her hand with enough force that it caused Chomaru's enlarged end of the rod to simply bounce up and it landed next to Hiko with a simple slam, causing dirt and dust to fly everywhere.
". . . Is such a thing possible?" said Inoshin out loud. "She just dodged our combined attacks and then blocked Chomaru's attack? Not in all my life have I seen this fail before!" said Inoshin suddenly.
"Quiet, Inoshin, it just meant we underestimated our opponent. Whoever she is, we'll have to get serious now."
"Hah, you misjudged me because I was a girl and now your going to pay for it. You underestimated me and now your going to regret that. Starting with the fat one." stated Hiko slowly as she looked at all three of the Jounins arrogantly.
"This is the end for you now FAT ONE!" yelled Hiko as she leapt in to the air too fast for any of the three to react.
"Chomaru watch out?" yelled Shikato.
"Huh?"
"Kuzu-Ryuu-Sen" said Hiko slowly as she leapt towards Chomaru at God- like speed striking at each of his nine weakest points of the body causing Chomaru'sjutsu to disengage and him falling down to the earth where Inoshin caught him before he slammed in to the dirt.
"NO! CHOMARU!" yelled Shikato angrily as he leapt towards Hiko. "Shadow Imitation Technique!"
"You fool! The same technique will not work against me twice!" yelled Hiko as she all of a suddenly disappeared in front of Shikato and slashed him in the back with a mid air Battoujutsu stance slash.
"Damn it, I was too careless." Said Shikato slowly as he fell onto the ground next to Inoshin.
"Damn Inoshin, guess we took her too lightly." said Shikato slowly.
"Shhh, shut up you idiot, don't act as if you are about to die."
"Ugh, how's Chomaru doing?" said Shikato slowly as he slowly stood up as blood could be seen running down his back. His Jounin vest was able to suck the brunt of Hiko's attack but it still just barely saved him from dying instantly. "Well, what do you say that we go get her, for Chomaru's sake?"
"Chomaru's not dead yet." stated Inoshin to a surprised Shikato.
"His armor and pure size saved him from death but he is in critical condition. WE NEED TO GET HIM SOME MEDICAL TREATMENT RIGHT AWAY!" yelled Inoshin as he looked upon Hiko desperately pleading through their eye contact to spare the three unwitting Jounin who underestimated her and paid for it.
"Heh, if that's the case then I'll buy you two some time. I am the squad leader anyway. Just make sure that my wife doesn't beat up my corpse too bad Inoshin and please take care of my son." said Shikato slowly as he was about to embark on his sucide mission to try to save his friends.
"Sure thing," said Inshin slowly knowing that it was too late to try to stop Shikato and knowing that it probably was their only chance at survival too.
Meanwhile all this time Hiko had stood still observing the three. It had been a long time since she even swung her sword but it was mostly due to her kimono that was getting in her way. It was too tight around her and it had restrained her more than her cape could of ever hoped to do. 'Instead of that damn heavy cape why not just force all masters of Hiten Mitsuruugi to wear this damn thing. With it I could barely move or swing my katana.' thought Hiko. "You three are doomed, say your last prayers before I send you three to meet your makers." said Hiko slowly and venomously as she was about to sheathe her sword and strike again.
"Inoshin on my mark, run."
"Yeah." Said Inoshin as he saw Shiakto rush Hiko but before Shikato was able to give the signal three kunai flew in front of Shikato stopping him in his track.
"I'm sorry there Shikato but you won't be dying today." smiled a VERY late Kakashi.
"And whay are you late Kakashi?" asked a relieved Shikato. "Well, you see I was late because I had to get Hayate to a safe place before he died and I bumped into some people. Well, you might say that these people were rather vary disturbed once this young girl's chakra and ki flared up. They were the first to react next to the ANBU." said Kakashi finally with an evil smirk on his face as about twenty ANBU members showed up behind him including Kurenai, Gai, and Asuma. Someone else also made an appearance.
"So I see, it was this girl that disturbed the whole balance of Konoha. Not in all of our family's history have we been able to encounter someone of this caliber, next to Kyuubi. Now, we shall make up for the time that we did not defend Konoha at that time! Come out and prove once and for all that Hyuuga is the strongest in Konoha and make this girl realize what a mistake she made when she made all of Konoha into her enemy!" yelled Hiashi loudly as around two hundred members from the Hyuuga clan appeared out of nowhere.
"Don't think you Hyuuga's can hog it all to yourselves." said the head of the Inuzuka clan as several of their clan members and dogs appeared out of nowhere. "This is her? She is the reason Konoha went into emergency state level three?" asked the Head clan member slowly as Kakashi replied.
"Do not underestimate this opponent. She is the one who created all these floating little glow orbs here." said Kakashi as he pointed to the small lights dancing all around Konoha. "She single handedly caused all of Nature around here to get excited. Don't take her to lightly."
"How? How can that be possible! What can possibly cause her to do that and fight against the Leaf!" demanded a Hyuuga head family member who was an ANBU.
"We killed Naruto." said Kakashi slowly, "and he was someone she might have gotten attatched to. How much? We probably will never know. All we know is that we caused this."
"Heh, that demon deserved to die." said someone out from the large group of ninjas.
"This much only? Do you really think you can defeat me with only this many? Don't think just because I'm a girl here that I will die that easily." said Hiko fearlessly as she looked upon the hundreds of ninjas that stood in her way. "Oh, and by the way. The one who said that Naruto was a demon. You'll be the first to feel death." Snickered Hiko in anger as she all of a suddenly undid her kimono waist wrap and jumped on top of a building. Her kimono now was flowing in the wind, exposing her thighs and parts of her chest. She all of a suddenly said, "No matter how much you send, it can not stop fate and I from showing you truly how foolish you all are. This whole village is diseased and the only one who wasn't was that boy who is laying down there dying. Ignorant fools."
While all that was going on out side there inside the confines of Naruto's mind he heard a voice before he was slipping away.
"BOY! I WILL NOT ALLOW MYSELF TO DIE LIKE THIS! YOU THINK I WILL LAY STILL AND LET US DIE! YOU FOOL! LET ME OUT AND YOU WON'T DIE!"
"Who are you?" asked Naruto slowly to himself in his mind as he thought he was going mad.
"KYUUBI" was all he heard before he felt something warm envelop him.
