Chapter 135: The Horrible Experiments!
Outside of the caves Kiba and Akamaru stared at Misumi. Misumi remained calm on the outside but there was one thing he didn't like fighting was clone users. While this time he had a 50/50 shot at choking the right guy, this one knew if you hit in the head enough, he'll go down.
It could have been worse he would have been dealing with a certain crazy bitch again…
He grabbed one of the Kiba's and wrapped himself around him. However he want poof and turned out to be Akamaru.
And with that Kiba began to whack him in the head several times, knocking him out.
"That was anti-climatic." Said Kiba bushing off his hand.
Akamaru barked and nodded.
"I think I'll wait for Zoro's to be over." Said Kiba who sat down.
Elsewhere in the cave, Robin and Sasuke walked in the cave, neither one talked to each other, that was when they came upon a door.
Robin opened it, and both of them paled at what they saw. Inside where large tubes with body parts floating inside of them.
"What is this place?" asked Sasuke.
"It looks like a laboratory…" said Robin.
"A laboratory?" asked Sasuke.
Robin found some notes, she began to read them.
"The girl who saved Mr. Fox… her name was Isaribi, wasn't it?" asked Robin.
"What about it?" asked Sasuke.
"It's nothing." Said Robin putting the notes into her pocket.
Robin looked at the body parts in the tubes.
"What are they trying to do?" asked Sasuke.
"These are experiments to turn to humans into fish men like creatures." Said Robin.
"Is that even possible?" asked Sasuke.
"I have heard that Dr. Vegapunk has done a lot." Said Robin, "So I wouldn't be surprised."
"We should get out of here." Said Sasuke.
Robin nodded… she knew it would probably be best.
Outside with Zoro and Yoroi. The battle was going the exact same as it was before. Zoro would try to hit him and doge Yoroi's grabbing, while Yoroi would try to grabbed Zoro and doge Zoro's cuts.
"Are you tired of this?" asked Zoro.
"I am…" said Yoroi.
"Good." Said Zoro, "I guess I can finish you off then."
"What?" asked Yoroi.
"Tatsu Maki!" shouted Zoro as he created a tornado with his swords. The tornado launched the man who take away energy, into the air cutting him badly before he landed on the ground with a thud.
"I should have done that from the start." Said Zoro as he sheathed his swords.
"Well at least it wasn't as anticlimactic as my fight." Said Kiba.
Zoro turned around and saw that Kiba was waiting for him.
"I guess we should go into the cave." Said Zoro… and headed in the opposite direction.
"Um… Zoro… wrong way." Said Kiba.
Zoro turned around and went once again in the wrong direction.
Kiba sighed, "I hope this one of the reasons why Sasuke has such an attitude problem." He muttered.
Back inside the cave Sasuke sneezed.
"What was that about?" asked Sasuke.
"Maybe someone's talking about you." Said Robin with a mysterious smile.
"Whatever…" muttered Sasuke.
Elsewhere in the cave Naruto and Luffy continued on their way.
"I will find Gaara and the others! I will find them…" mumbled Naruto who seemed to be falling under the weight of Gaara's gourd.
"Are you okay?" asked Luffy.
"I'm fine really…" said Naruto taking a another step…
"Every step is a pain!" thought Naruto.
"Ask him to help you!" yelled Kyubi.
"No… I can handle this!" thought Naruto.
That was when there was a rather loud snap.
"That didn't sound good." Said Luffy with a sweat drop.
"I am fine!" yelled Naruto.
"I think that was your spine…" said Kyubi.
That was when Naruto fell to the ground… when the gourd fell on him there was another loud snap.
In the holding cell with the hostages. Gaara felt something.
"What is it?" asked Chopper.
That was when Gaara held out his arm, saying nothing.
Back with Naruto the gourd lost its shape and turned to sand.
"Oh no…" thought Naruto.
He got and saw the sand was flying away.
"That's good… that means you got close enough to him so that he can control it." Said Kyubi.
"Really?" asked Naruto as he got up.
There was a slight crack… as Naruto fell back down.
"That should take me a bit to fix that…" said Kyubi, "Have your idiot brother carry you."
"Hey… Luffy can you carry me in that direction?" asked Naruto.
"Sure." Said Luffy.
Back in the holding cell the other three watched as Gaara's sand returned to him… and when it did. He destroyed the bars of the cell.
"Oh wow…" said Chopper.
"Why didn't you bring your sand with you?" asked Nami.
"It would been render useless underwater and there was a chance I could have permanently lost it." Explained Gaara.
"Hey!" yelled a voice.
They looked to see Luffy carrying Naruto on his back showed up.
"You guys are okay." Said Naruto.
"Yes, we are." Said Gaara.
"I guess we should find everyone else…" said Naruto.
"Great! You just have meddle in everything!" yelled a voice.
Luffy turned around to see it was Isaribi.
"Isaribi? What are you doing here?" asked Naruto.
"She's the monster." Said Gaara.
"You are?" asked Naruto, "Why?"
"Since you don't know, I'll tell you!" yelled Isaribi, "I was experimented on! The only way to be human again if I work for Amachi! I don't want to be a monster any more! You wouldn't understand! You wouldn't understand at all!"
That was when Naruto jumped off Luffy's back and slapped her in the face.
"I don't know you very well…" said Naruto, "But I do know one thing! I know how you feel!"
"How can you know that?" asked Isaribi.
"Have you ever heard about the Biju?" asked Naruto, "I have the Kyubi no Yoko sealed inside my body."
Isaribi looked at Gaara… and remember what he said.
"Do know what a childhood is like for someone like me! Everyone hated me for something beyond my control… Barely anyone cared for me! I was lucky to have someone… But I never attacked anyone… I never hurt anyone… but what you're doing…"
There was a silence…
"You're hurting people… that's the thing that made you a real monster…" said Naruto glaring at her.
"I know what it feels like too." Piped in Chopper, "People actually shot at me… but I never fought back."
Isaribi looked at Gaara…
"You don't want to follow my path…" said Gaara.
"Does he know as well…" thought Isaribi.
"Look… I'm not sure what's going on… but I do know how you feel." Said Naruto.
Isaribi looked at Naruto, she looked into his eyes, she fell to her knees and began to cry.
"Are you really going to betray me Isaribi?" asked a voice.
Amachi showed up from the shadows.
"Monkey D. Luffy… Fox D Naruto… I heard about you…" said Amachi.
"Who are you?" asked Naruto.
"I'm just a simple scientist… and you're trespassing." Said Amachi.
Naruto narrowed his eyes at the scientist… he really didn't like the guy.
"Um… kit…" said Kyubi.
"What?" asked Naruto.
"Isn't your back in tremendous pain?" asked Kyubi.
That was when Naruto collapsed in pain.
"What… just happened?" asked Hinata with a sweat drop.
"Naruto hurt his back carrying Gaara's gourd." Said Luffy.
"That explains a lot…" said Nami with a sweat drop.
"Come now Isaribi… don't you want a cure… you know I'm the only one that can cure you." Said Amachi.
"Kit…" said Kyubi.
"What?" asked Naruto.
"I get the feeling's he's lying to her… just get her to what he wants…" said Kyubi.
"Are you sure?" thought Naruto.
"Not really… but I can tell… he's evil…" said Kyubi.
Luffy began to help up his younger brother when Naruto said, "Can you really cure her? OR are you just using her for you own evil ambitions?"
Amachi flinched… "Of course I can cure her… she's my experiment so why not…"
However Gaara saw the flinch and sent sand after him… going in for the kill... because for that man it was the last straw!
Next Time: Isaribi questions Amachi, and Amachi continues to say he can cure her. However it doesn't help that he set up the cave self-destruct mode... can the Straw Hats get out before the cave collapse? Find out next time!
