A/N: Sorry about no May update, the overhaul took a long time, I also meant to do this chapter later after I wrote new chapters for Bleached Marimo and Quest of Kings, but my old lap top (AKA: The one I bought like three months ago), crapped out on me for the last time so I managed to return and got a new one (a Mac), I recommend this: buy a Mac not a PC, listen to the cute guy, not John Hodgman.

Also concerning what would have been last months chapter, don't expect two this month... expect two in August though (and I'm sure you know what days too).

Enjoy the chapter, final chapters of the Kiba and Akamaru VS Kankuro (and to a lesser extent, the Chopper, Usopp fight), enjoy!

Chapter 95: Strong Puppets Weak Puppeteer

Usopp and Chopper were just told horrible news during a part of the fight where Usopp was repeatedly smashed into the wall by the mole woman (Ms. Merry Christmas).

"What do you mean Luffy's dead?" asked Usopp.

"The boss finished him off hours ago" explained Ms. Merry Christmas, "Now the rebellion has begun, your no match for us."

"Luffy's dead?" asked Chopper in shock.

"You're lying you old mole woman!" yelled Usopp.

"Oh what makes you so sure?" asked Ms. Merry Christmas.

"Because Luffy's going to be King of the pirates one day!" yelled Usopp, "There's no way he'd die here!"

That's when Ms. Merry Christmas began to laugh.

"Listen Chopper! There comes a time…" yelled Usopp.

That's when Ms. Merry Christmas began to drag Usopp though the sand and by is feet, making him stand up.

"When a man… even if he's up against an enemy he's scared of…" still yelled Usopp obviously doing a heartfelt speech.

That's when Ms. Merry Christmas smashed him though a brick wall leaving an Usopp shaped hole.

"Even if… there's chance of winning…." Continued Usopp.

Ms. Merry Christmas brought Usopp to Mr. 4, who grabbed his bat and smashed Usopp with it, sending the poor shaper shooter flying and breaking a good portion of his body.

"Usopp!" cried Chopper.

Once the dust settled, everyone was shocked to see Usopp was still standing, bloody and broke but still standing… and he was still continuing his heart felt speech.

"There comes a time when a man must fight…" continued Usopp, "And that's when someone laughs at their dreams!"

"How are you still alive, you were hit with a 4 ton bat!" yelled Ms. Merry Christmas in shock.

"Luffy can't die… He will become King of the pirates…" said Usopp, "That's one thing I can't let you laugh at!"

And so their battle continued….

Meanwhile with Kiba, he hid from Kankuro and his two puppets. Trying to think of a plan.

"What am I going to do." Sighed Kiba, "Will normal clones be able to do the trick?"

He looked at Akamaru, he was still too shaken from earlier to be able transform into his clone.

Kiba peeked over the sand dune to where Kankuro was still looking for him.

"All I have to do is hit him from behind." Thought Kiba.

Kankuro on the other hand was begging to get worried.

"He's either ran away or found my weakness." He muttered.

He began to sweat drop… "He really better have ran away." He muttered.

That's when he saw something in the corner of his eye. It was Kiba and he had just socked him in the face, sending him into the sand dune.

"So you did figure out my weakness." Said Kankuro.

Kiba nodded, "You're weak." Said Kiba.

"No I'm not… I'm just not good at hand to hand combat." Explained Kankuro.

"So is there a difference?" asked Kiba.

The two stood in silence...

"Yeah, I'm good with using puppets." Said Kankuro.

"That doesn't count!" yelled Kiba.

"I should have listened to Temari when I had the chance." He muttered.

(Flashback)

Kankuro was adding a new trap for Crow when Temari walked in, she watched him for a minute.

"You know Kankuro if you getting into a fight, you should really work on your hand to combat skills." Said Temari.

"Yeah, yeah." Said Kankuro.

Temari sighed, "I know you won't listen to me but I still think you should." Said Temari.

"Yeah, yeah." Said Kankuro who wasn't really listening.

Temari muttered under her breath, then whacked him in the head with her fan.

"If that's supposed to be a hint of why I should have a backup plan, it's a bad one." Said Kankuro rubbing the spot where she hit him.

She once again whacked him on the head.

(End of Flashback)

Kankuro began to rub his head at the memory, "She may have partially right."

Kankuro smirked, "However, you still have to deal with Crow and Black Ant." Said Kankuro with a smirk.

The two puppet stood right next to him.

"Damn it… how am I supposed to get passed them again since he knows I'm on to him." Thought Kiba.

That's when Akamaru jumped through the air, he latched onto the Chi Strings, connecting Crow and ripped them apart, causing Kankuro to gape.

"That's impossible!" yelled Kankuro, "They're made up of pure Chi! They're impossible to break!"

"Well yeah, Akamaru just broke him." Said Kiba with a shrug.

"How long have has your dog been able to do that?" asked Kankuro.

"Well we've been together for years." Said Kiba.

"So that's it… he's been infused with Chi so many times he's able to break my own." Thought Kankuro with his eye twitching.

"Looks like this fight is going to be over." Said Kiba.

"Oh crap…" said Kankuro.

Akamaru then tore appeared the strings connecting Black Ant. And so Kiba proceeded to beat him up, until Kankuro surrendered, quite quickly… but not after Kankuro was a bloody mess.

"All right! We won Akamaru!" cheered Kiba.

Akamaru barked happily.

"Come on, let' go find someone else." Said Kiba.

Akamaru nodded, that's when Kankuro called out, "Wait! I want to ask you something first."

"What do you want?" asked Kiba.

"What sort of person is your Jinchuriki?" asked Kankuro.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Kiba glaring at him

"I mean is a he a monster?" asked Kankuro.

"No way, he's someone who's never going to give up no matter what." Explained Kiba.

"I see." Said Kankuro.

"Is that it." Said Kiba.

"That's it." Said Kankuro.

Kiba nodded and left.

"I wonder if that kid has what it takes to beat Gaara." Muttered Kankuro.

And with that, Kiba and Akamaru beat their opponents…

Back with Usopp and Chopper… they were kicking ass, right after Usopp's heart felt speech, Chopper transformed into his final form, Horn point, it allowed him to gain massive horns (along with rather interesting features), the tow managed to trick Mr. 4 into his her with his massive bat, when used Chopper's massive antlers as a sling shot to throw a hammer at Mr. 4, send the slow man flying into a pile (and smashing his gun dog along the way), the gun dog sneezed up another baseball bomb causing a massive explosion. After this happened Usopp finally collapsed because of his injuries.

"Usopp don't die!" cried Chopper, "Someone get a doctor!"

"You are a doctor." Pointed out Usopp.

And so both Usopp and Kiba faced their opponents and won… but can the same be said for the others… only time will tell.

Next Time: The Ino, Shika, Cho trio must fight Temari who has the power of a Devil Fruit! Will they be able to over come her... or will Ino fight with Shikamaru and Choji? Meanwhile Sanji fights with Mr. 2. What's going to happen? Find out next time!
