Summary:

A crossover between Naruto and Samurai Deeper Kyo.

Kyo and his traveling companions head to Konoha for a reason that is unbeknownst (...wow...that IS a word...) to Yuya. However, they encounter a bit of interference that proves troublesome, even to Kyo. Will they make it to Konoha? And what connection does Tsunade have with Demon Eyes Kyo?

Tsunade sighed, stretching her arms above her head, and then rested them upon the table. She looked at the piles upon piles of scrolls, medical books, and requests before her. "Why did I ever take up being the Hokage, anyway?" The right side of her mouth began to twitch in irritation.

"H-Hokage-sama!"

Tsunade looked up, still mumbling her complaints. She needed a vacation, but there was too much that needed to be done. With the Mibu on the move for global domination, it was up to her to prepare for the final battle. "Yes?"

A man rushed in, tripping over the mounds of scattered paper and books, attempting to reach Tsunade's desk. "D-D...Demon Eyes Kyo is heading for the village, Hokage-sama!"

Tsunade abruptly stood, slamming her palms on the table, splitting it in half with her inhuman strength and fury. "WHAT?" Tsunade knew Demon Eyes Kyo was allies with Muramasa, the man who intended to suppress the powers of the Mibu Clan. But could the thousand man slayer be trusted? It was too risky to talk with him in Konoha. She needed to be certain. "Where is he?"

Yuya focused on the ground before her, attempting to forget about their destination. She clasped her hands behind her back and with every step forward she performed a slight skip, looking like a child who didn't give a care in the world. She hoped that this would mask her look of despair upon hearing the word, Konoha. Instead, such an action merely received an even more, suspicious look from her fellow travelers, who did their best not to question her sudden timid attitude. They were concerned, that was obvious, but they wouldn't give up their journey just because of one girl who was too afraid to confront her own fears. In fact, if anything, they would most likely not turn back because they would want her to get over her them.

Yuya's head snapped up and her step slowed to a stop. Was that...the wind? As if on cue, her traveling companions stopped as well, sensing some sort of disturbance in the air. Yuya looked around, waiting for whatever it was to show itself, friend or foe.

"What brings you here, Demon Eyes Kyo?" asked a voice which echoed throughout the forest.

Kyo smirked with that damn cocky half-smile of his, exposing his sharp, left fang. He pivoted and faced the ground as three puddles began to form from water droplets rolling along the dirt. From these puddles, three forms submerged then shaped themselves into human beings.

"The hell...are they?" Benitora pulled out his spear while moving before Yuya, placing her in a defensive position. "Stand, back Yuya-han! I'll protect you, with all my love!" Yuya didn't know whether to gag or shoot him in the face, although she did appreciate his protectiveness.

Akira didn't move a muscle, nor did he seem intimidated in the least. Okuni merely waited for the bloodshed to begin, stroking her breasts and sweating obnoxiously like always.

In an instant, shuriken and kunai flew through the air, only to become easily deflected by the thousand man slayer.

"Leave some for me!" shouted Benitora, jumping with spear in hand, at one of the figures. He slashed, his grin widening. "Too easy," he stated, with his back facing his victim.

The opponent fell to the ground, airborne by the fatal blow, when suddenly the body burst into thousands of water droplets. Upon hearing the sound of water, Benitora looked back in shock. "Damn! What the hell are these things?"

Hmph! Yuya took a moment to analyze the enemy, her eyebrows drawing closer together in concentration. Ninjutsu! A water clone technique! Rather similar to Sasuke's replacement technique he used while fighting Bontenmaru-san!

At that very thought, the droplets of water joined together, not just to form a single puddle, but two.

Benitora's eyes narrowed, "Looks like we'll be camping again tonight. I'm sorry Yuya-han."

Author's note:

Sorry that this chapter was shorter than the last. I would have made it longer had the next section not been so ridiculously long. Besides, I felt it a good place to stop at for now.

I hope that I am portraying the characters alright. I mean, this is how I personally see their attitudes, personalities, habits, etc. I'll be ripping a lot on them later on...I do have a giant list of peeves when it comes to Okuni-san. Don't kill me, Okuni fans! She's just...one of those...different...characters...x.o

And I hope that crossovers don't drive you nuts, because I'm addicted to both Samurai Deeper Kyo (the manga) and Naruto (the subbed anime), so I will go quite a bit into each. Although, this will aim to be more of a SDK aimed fic.

Let me know how you feel:)
