Chapter 8

Sasuke almost fell from the roof when the cursed seal hit him again. Neji quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him to his feet. The Hyuuga Prodigy glanced at him and said, "It's not so far away. Control yourself."

"Yeah, I know." Sasuke nodded. He tsked to himself, touching the seal behind his neck. It felt like it burned his skin. "Let's move."

Neji nodded silently. He watched as Sasuke jumped in front of him. He's trying his hardest to save Naruto, even when it looks like he has nothing to give… Well… will Lee or Tenten do that for me?… Stupid question. Neji smiled inwardly. Of course they will. They'll come right away. Well… the true question is… will I?

Neji smirked.

Of course, I'll… What the!

Neji stopped suddenly on his track. Sasuke saw his friend stopping, halted his jumped and turned back. He asked, "What's wrong?"

"This chakra…" Neji looked to his back. "It can't be…"

"Neji?"

"You go ahead!" Neji quickly turned away. "I have something urgent to do!"

Sasuke looked hesitated but then nodded and said, "Careful."

"That was supposed to be my line, Uchiha."

"Whatever!"

Her breath was heavy and her hand was trembling. Adachi smiled triumphantly. His hands were gripping his Kusanagi, pushed it deeper into her abdomen.

"Cough!" Tenten cough blood from her mouth, gritted her teeth from the immense pain in her abdomen. Her free hand grabbed the blade quickly. It ripped off her black glove and wounded her palm. But it doesn't matter as long as she could prevent Adachi from slashed her two. She bit back her pain, her body started to shake. "You…"

"Your jutsu… was to covered yourself and hurled weapons from one of the scroll, switching places in split second, right?" said Adachi in low voice. "Smart and fast, indeed… but my Kusanagi bust it through it, right? Just like it bust through your defense a few moments ago. Everything was because… you left shoulder was no longer usable!"

Hearing the statement, Tenten's lips curved into a smirk.

"Takes… a long time… just to figure it… eh?"

Adachi pushed his Kusanagi. Tenten winced at the pain, held back her scream.

"But I hit you… didn't I…?"

"You did."

THWACK! Adachi was thrown away far when Tenten kicked his face hard from the side. The move deepened her wound, made her fell to her knees almost instantly. The Kusanagi still embedded itself to her belly, torturing her with every second passing by. She cough again, more blood spilled to the ground. Adachi slowly stood again, grinned.

"Painful, huh?" he said confidently. "And threw me away doesn't solve the problem, Idiotic Woman!"

Adachi moved his finger down and then, the Kusanagi slowly followed his movement…

"ARGH!" Tenten grabbed the blade, using all her power to stop its movement. Her palms bleed like river, not to mention the opening wound in her belly. She grimaced at all the pain and cursed herself. This… is not her last! Noo… NO! "DAMN! I WILL NOT DIE THAT EASILY!"

"Oh really?" said Adachi mockingly. "You'll die anyway! Orochimaru-sama is killing all your friends now, so just wait until it's your time! Anyway… After I kill you, I'll kill all people in this village like bugs… because now it is Orochimaru-sama's possession! Useless Konoha!"

"Never… called Konoha… as Orochimaru's… AS LONG AS I'M ALIVE!"

Voom! Adachi suddenly stopped. He tried to move but something restraint him. He glared at the women crouched a few meters away from him… No way... she...

"Kanashibari no Jutsu1…"

BANG!

The earth shook violently as the now five-tailed Kyuubi ricocheted towards Orochimaru and Manda. The combat speed was so fast that no one could keep up—Hinata's Byakugan could only took a glance. Craters appeared when The Kyuubi and Orochimaru clashed. Manda disappeared when Kyuubi hit him too hard, sent him flying to the wall and simply vanished into thin air. Gamabunta and Katsuya disappeared not so long afterward. The Kyuubi's blow hurt them terribly and they just couldn't keep up anymore.

Kyuubi-Naruto smacked Orochimaru right on his side. He ricocheted to the man almost at the same time, hands stretched…

BOOM!

"GAAAAAHHH!" Naruto's scream was heard when the Kyuubi chakra suppressed inside him. Orochimaru spun in the air, landed safely on the ground. Tsunade shouted, "What happened!"

"Sasuke-kun, eh?"

And there was Sasuke—stood on top of a broken lamppost. His Sharingan stared in full-force at the Kyuubi-Naruto. He gritted his teeth and winced when his cursed seal began to react…

"Shit… stop it already, Demon!"

Naruto… Wake up! NARUTO!

This voice… who was it?

Naruto! Stop him!

Sasuke?

Shut up, Uchiha… It's my time to wake!

I won't let you! Just try and failed then! I have a friend to protect!

Grrrhh… persistent bastard! My power!

"GRAAAAAAAAA!"

The Kyuubi's body started to be replaced by Naruto's. The claw slowly became hand, and the snout slowly returned to a normal face. Sasuke narrowed his Sharingan, panted. A little more… a little more…

His other comrade stared at him in awe, sometimes looked at Naruto's evolving body with hopeful expression. Lee and Sakura arrived to see the scene, panting.

Suddenly, a loud sound was heard from far away. A great wave of chakra followed just a second after the sound, made everyone turned their head from Naruto. Lee's eyes widen when he realized whose chakra the wave belongs to.

"She… used it!"

Adachi glared at the woman in front of him. Her chakra blew everything around her. The ground she stood on crushed by the power, send cracks of soil everywhere. Tenten gritted her teeth when the power exploded inside of her. Her hair was released from her bun, waved around her back like a thick curtain. She threw the Kusanagi in her stomach away, so far that Adachi could no longer felt its presence…

"Hachimon Tonku! Sixth Gate! RELEASED!"

CRACK! The ground was lifted by her chakra alone. Adachi, now frozen because of the tension, gasped for breath when another wave blew him. Her chakra grew like monster, wrapped her around like a shield. She made her hand seals in blinding speed… Her huge scroll opened itself in front of her, twisting and flowing like water.

"Prepare yourself…"

Her cracked voice was followed by a snake seal…

"Tenryuu… Akaichi Tsumoji!"

BOOOMMM! A GIANT White dragon replaced her, roared into the night sky. It soared fast to the sky. It spun in the air, glared down towards Adachi. A great roar broke the silence of the night, echoing in the dark sky on top of Konoha…

Neji stared at the dragon in surprised. It was her final attack, the only attack that Gai forbid her to use… Why? Because it's terrifying… It's the kind of attack that won't leave its victims in the shape of 'human' after receiving it…

"Darn it!" Neji increased his speed immediately. He had to get there now, no matter what. The jutsu meant trouble. And Tenten… he won't let anything happened to her.

Neji… you gave this jutsu a name, right?

The dragon growled, dived sharply toward Adachi. The man quickly wound his hand, touched the ground, and shouted, "Kuchiyose: Nijuu Rashomon!"

Lee… You add something nice in the name too.

BAM! Two rashomon gates appeared. The dragon gave out a loud roar that blew some house's roof. After the roar, the wind became so heavy that Adachi couldn't even breathe.

And Gai-sensei… you taught me how to opened my gate. It's a hell of training, that time. I won't forget it…

The forest was destroyed when Tenten performed her jutsu. She limped because of exhaustion, but strong enough to turn back and grinned widely towards the three men whose jaw dropped open when they saw her jutsu.

"See, Gai-sensei? I made it!"

She fell to the ground, utterly weary but happy at the same time. Lee jumped towards her and shouted, "That… THAT WAS GREAT, TENTEN! YOU'RE SO WONDERFUL! IT WAS COOL!"

"Or rather, scary," Neji grumbled. Tenten grimaced when she heard him. Seeing her expression, Neji then said, "Ok. It's powerful. Good job."

You know? Your praise was the sweetest that I had ever received…

The dragon ricocheted towards the two Rashomon gates. The ground it passed simply destroyed by its power.

"We have to give it a nice name!" Gai-sensei shouted happily. "It's created by our beautiful youthful flower! Nice name! A name with springtime of youth spirit embedded in it!"

Neji and Tenten quickly shouted, "Absolutely NOT!"

That time… I really want to laugh, Sensei… you always know how to make us smile…

CRACK! The dragon bust through the first gate easily. Adachi frowned in fear when the dragon encountered the second gate…

"Tenryuu…" said Neji with his low tone. The other member of Team Gai glared at him. He closed his eyes and repeated, "Tenryuu. Ten for heaven or sky because it soared to the sky and…. Anyway, it resembled your name. And ryuu… for dragon. Tenryuu… Dragon of Heaven."

Neji… that time your voice was really manly, you know… I love it so much…

BOOOMM! The second gate crumbled. The dragon roared, opened its mouth when it blast towards Adachi. The man could only watched in horror when the beast got closer to him… opening its giant mouth…

"Akaichi Tsumoji!" shouted Lee happily. "Akai! For red! And chi… for BLOOD! Tsumoji… for storm! Red Blood Storm! It sounded cool, isn't it?"

It is cool, Lee… You came up with a nice idea, as usual… you're always brilliant…

CRAAAAAASSSHHHH! The dragon soared to the sky carrying Adachi, its color turned red in every passing second… The weapons slashed Adachi violently inside the dragon; blood was shed and colored it red. The dragon blended with the night sky, slowly vanished into a rain of blood that showered down Konoha…

"Heaven Dragon: Red Blood Storm…"

A young woman stood inside the rain. Her body was covered by blood—hers and Adachi's. Her brown hair now fell freely to her back like waves. She smiled faintly…

"Everyone… it's our jutsu… right?"

We created the dragon… together…
