Twist of Fate
Chapter 3 : A Skilled Opponent
Synopsis : The fight between Naruto / Kyubi and Kimimaro begins, as Shikamaru come across an unknown team on their way back to Konoha.
Pairings : Unknown for now. Suggestions are welcomed
Disclaimer : I don't own Naruto but wish I did
Timeline :
- This takes place when Shikamaru, and the team he created went after the 4 Ninjas that took Sasuke with them. In other words it's right after Neji finished his battle with his opponent in Manga Volume 22 Chapter 198.
- Sasuke was NOT put in the wooden barrel to begin with
- Sakon is one of the four ninjas under Orochimaru's command. He's the ninja that seems to have two bodies of some sort ( Chapter 200 )
- Kimimaro was sent by Kabuto ( Orochimaru's right hand ) since the four ninjas were taking too long to come back to Orochimaru.
- To me, all underlings of Orochimaru are male, so sorry if they were any females that I wasn't able to spot.
Extra Information :
- Kage Bunshin no Jutsu - Shadow Clone Skill : A forbidden jutsu, that creates clones - which are not just plain illusions (like the normal bunshin no jutsu). Each clone is an exact replica of the user, capable of attacking. A direct hit causes the clone to disappear.
JAPANESE WORDS
- baka = idiot -
- dobe = dead last -

- Urousai = Shut Up -
- Chikushou – Damn it / Damn
All notes concerning future reviews will be replied at the bottom of the story.
============================================================================ ======================
*On The Battlefield*
Naruto kneeled next to the dead body of Sakon and Ukon, as severed the heads to make sure they wouldn't stand up again. He then turned towards Kimimaro that was still trapped within his barrier.
"Sakon underestimated the kid's power. We shouldn't of waited to kill him........." Kimimaro thought as she saw the demon approached him
Kyubi slowly licked the blood on each of his fingers and smiled at Kimimaro. After he finished licking the blood off his hands, he stared at his enemy, as the barrier vanished.
"Looks like you're the only one left" Kyubi stated as he observed his enemy closely
---
Kimimaro carefully examined his new opponent as he cursed himself as well for not taking Orochimaru's warning about the kitsune become an obstacle when they were suppose to bring Sasuke back with them.
"Unlike Sakon, I won't fall for his petty tricks. After all, he doesn't use any jutsu since it's Kyubi who's taken control, and that could be a weakness for me to exploit" Kimimaro thought as reached out behind his back and threw multiple kunais towards the fox's direction
Kyubi simply smiled as he tapped his foot against the ground as the thin red barrier appeared once more to repel the attack. The kunais simply embedded themselves in to trunks of the trees.
Kyubi glared at his last prey, as he moved his fingers a certain way, as the sound of bones cracking could be heard.
"I'm going to crush you" Kyubi growled as he charged forward
Kimimaro simply smiled as two strange white things grew out of his palms, like swords. Kimimaro held his ground as he didn't bother to move or evade the upcoming attack. Kyubi stomped the ground, as he readied his own claws to tear some new flesh.
"Stupid to stay still and not try to evade" Kyubi thought when someone caught his attention
Sudenly, as he was about to strike, the figure who stood under him had multiple spikes coming out of his body, as one of them hit Kyubi's stomach. By instinct, Kyubi took hold of the spike to prevent it from piercing his flesh even more as he stared at the human to see him somewhat smile.
"These are bones.........!?" Kyubi thought as he felt the pain from being stabbed where the seal resided
"This, is the limit of my inheritance........." Kimimaro mumbled
As more bones seem to grow out of the male's body, Kyubi grabbed the bone who stabbed him with both hands as he quickly placed hi feet against Kimimaro's chest. He gathered chakra in them and pushed himself off the bone, to put a safe distance between himself and his opponent.
Kyubi landed on his feet and hand, while he struggled a little to stand up properly, while he had a hand pressed against the fresh wound on his body.
"Bones coming out of him? In all my lifetime I've never seen such a technique" Kyubi thought as he now was more careful around his last opponent
What Kimimaro did next, caught the Kyubi totally off guard. The male ninja placed his own hand on his shoulder as he removed the fabric off of it. Soon, Kimimaro's left shoulder no longer had clothing, as strange sound could be heard.
"What the hell?" Kyubi let out in surprise
A new bone slowly ripped itself from underneath the male's skin and rose towards the sky. The skin muscles slowly parted to let the bone slip out as Kimimaro took hold of the new bone and finished withdrawing it.
The ruptured skin and muscles started to close and then heal as if the bone had never been taken out in the first place. Kyubi's eyes were wide open, as Kimimaro pointed the long bone towards the demon's direction.
"Soon........." Kimimaro mumbled
"It......... It turned into a sword?" Kyubi asked himself now confused
For a change, Kyubi had an inside gut feeling telling him to see the true strength of that bone, as he took 2 shurikens out of his holster and threw them directly at the ninja.
Kimimaro's expression changed as he seemed colder this time and waved it once as he blocked both shurikens with no trouble.
"These are no ordinary bones.........These bones are compressed to maximum density meaning they are as solid as steel. In other words, this alone can kill you even with your healing ability" Kimimaro explained
"This is going to be more fun than I though" Kyubi thought as he grinned
============================================================================ ======================
*Near Konoha*
The entire group seemed depressed as Sasuke kept thinking about the words Naruto spoke before they left, how his sudden change of behavior was too strange.
Each genin were lost within their own thoughts, as Shikamaru worried even more about his long time friend, Chouji. After all they had been able to get Neji so all that's left was Chouji.
The group landed on a cleared vast ground, as they all felt chakra coming their way. Sasuke could still not move too much due to his curse still being activated and the marks still spread through half o his body, while Neji was still too wounded to battle out if needed.
Out of all four of them, Shikamaru and Kiba were the ones in best shape if they were attacked. Despite this, Neji let go of Kiba as he placed his hands together and performed his Byakugan to make out how many were coming.
"Neji, don't force yourself, you're in worse shape than any of us........." Shikamaru reminded the boy
"I know........." Neji mumbled as he looked around with tired eyes
Akamaru whined a little as Kiba immediately reached for a kunai in his pouch, which alerted the rest of the group of a nearby threat.
"I can confirm there's at least 8 ninjas coming our way." Neji replied as he didn't have much more chakra to keep his Byakugan activated
"Juunin and Anbu" Kiba commented
The four boys where on guard, when a gust of wind lifted the leaves and dirt off the ground and swirled around the genins, as 8 figures appeared and surrounded them.
"Che, this is troublesome" Shikamaru let out as he recognized some of the figures
A number of 4 Anbus were present as well as 4 Juunins.
"Why are you here?" Shikamaru asked
"Hokage-sama managed to get a small team to go after you in case you needed it." Asuma replied as Kurenai was present beside him
The four Juunins present were Kakashi, Gai, Asuma and Kurenai. While the Anbu stood aside as they waited for their orders. Neji started to lose balance as he fell forward, Kiba reached out but still had Akamaru in his arms and couldn't' catch the falling Neji in time.
"Neji!" Kiba yelled out as he felt pain on the right side of his rib cage
Fortunately, Gai moved quickly enough to catch the falling boy in his arms, as he kneeled and laid the boy on the ground to examine his wounds better.
"His wounds are serious, if he doesn't get treatment soon, we'll lose him" Gai said as he tore a piece of clothe and bandaged up the half conscious Neji
Kakashi looked at the group and saw that Sasuke was present as he walked towards his student, while Asuma and Kurenai approached their respected students as well.
"We'll have a long talk Sasuke-kun" Kakashi whispered to the boy as he rested a hand on his shoulder
"Gomen" Were Sasuke's only words as he still felt the stinging pain in his neck
Asuma tapped the shoulder of his student, as Kakashi took the job to be Sasuke's support, while Shikamaru simply let himself fall on his butt, hands pressed against the ground to support him from falling completely, as Asuma smiled at his student.
"We found Chouji. He's at the hospital in intensive care, unconscious for now." Asuma informed the four genins
Kiba walked back a little until his back met a tree and he slowly let his body fall down while sliding against the tree, with Akamaru still bruised up in his arms. Kakashi made sure to let Sasuke rest against the base of a tree, as the curse seals started to slowly retreat to everyone's relief.
"Where's Naruto?" Kakashi asked as he noticed the blond was missing
This earned the sad and guilty look of all 4 students, while they all look away from the adult's eyes.
"What happened?" Kakashi asked as he looked down at his own student
"Naruto stayed behind........." Kiba mumbled as Kakashi's eyes now focused on Kiba
"Nani?" All four Juunins let out in shock
"That baka wasn't acting like himself........." Sasuke commented
"Naruto was the best to stall them long enough for us to come back to Konoha........." Shikamaru added
"How long ago?" Kakashi asked with a serious tone
"Half an hour at most. About 10 miles to the north of our current position" Neji managed to speak out despite the pain he felt
Kakashi took a step towards that direction when Gai stood back up as the other two Juunins protested.
"Kakashi, I'm not letting you have all the glory" Gai spoke out with a smile
"Why am I not surprised" Kakashi thought as he sighed
"Take 2 Anbu with you. We'll bring them back at Konoha's hospital faster, but be careful." Kurenai informed them
Kakashi and Gai nodded as they vanished from their sight, as well as 2 members of the Anbu team. Kurenai looked at her student, as she walked over to Neji to see he was now unconscious.
"You're strong Neji. To be able to stay awake that long with a near fatal wound like that" Kurenai thought as Asuma gave out the orders to the other two Anbu members
The remaining adults quickly tended to the wounded genins as they prepared to transport them to Konoha's hospital.
============================================================================ ======================
*Battling grounds*
Kimimaro made his move as he vanished form Kyubi's sight, while this one sniffed the air to pick of the scent of his enemy without much success.
"Where is he?" Kyubi asked himself when he felt the presence behind him
Kimimaro raised her bone sword in the air, as she slashed Kyubi's back. Fortunately for Kyubi, he'd been able to jumped forward to evade a fatal blow and ended up with a deep cut instead. His chakra took care of the wound as it healed quickly.
Kyubi took this moment to charge forward as his claws connected with Kimimaro's stomach and blood poured out. Kyubi smiled as his claws sank deeper into the body, while the ninja let go of his bone sword.
"I thought you would of entertained me longer" Kyubi grinned
"A fox is truly the lower creature of intelligence" Kimimaro let out
"Nani!?" Kyubi growled as he ripped Kimimaro's body in two
Unfortunately, what he ripped in two pieces and originally injured were a bunshin, a clone, as his clone vanished in smoke. Kyubi's widened as he noticed he had been tricked and toyed with from the beginning.
Kimimaro appeared from the shadows behind the demon, sword lifted as Kyubi felt a sudden pain throughout his left shoulder. Kimimaro's sword had pierced once again Naruto's shoulder and went all the way through his body.
"This time, you die little one" Kimimaro commented as he pulled out another bone from he middle of his palm and prepared to strike Kyubi in the head.

============================================================================ ======================
Finally after a month and a half written chapter 3
I'm so sorry, the reason I waited was I was trying to get more information on Kimimaro for his attacks but seems I didn't get many.
I also noticed how I lost half of the reviewers after chapter 2 published. So I'd appreciate for those who read to be thoughtful and review ne?
REVIEWS
Naruto_lover : sorry for making you wait for so long, hope you understand why it took so long
Inuchan143 : I'm still not sure of the pairings either but so far it won't be shonen-ai since I have 4 other fics on yaoi already

Insanechildfanfic / Red Rose / Shadow Eclipse /Ame No Megami : thanks for reviewing I highly appreciate it
Peter : I'm planning on having Kabuto show up a little in the next chapter, as for the truth being told that will soon come as well because something big is going to happen, but I can't tell you more or else I'll ruin the surprise.
Next Chapter : A New Opponent
The fight between Kyubi and Kimimaro as someone new appears, ally or enemy who knows? The team reaches Konoha's hospital, as Tsunade and the boys have a discussion about what happened during the on going mission.
Sorry for the long wait! And the story will now continue without any hold anymore but please understand that I have 6 on going stories and have a new story coming out as well as two sequels to write, so the chapters can be shorter sometimes so I can update faster.
