A/N: I'm in a bad place right now, my dad has been sick the last couple years and he decided to stop treatment. I'm going to live somewhere for a while. However unlike what with what happened with the fire I think this time it will be better if I continue writing... however there are two things I have to say about this, I will write stories I really want to write and the other is that I won't be working on stories that relay on a canon guide, this one is one such story... I'm going to be living else where for a while... So yeah... I hope you all understand...

On the bright side this announcement is coming in from my most popular story and not form one of my least popular.

Anyways enjoy the last chapter for a while...

Chapter 257: Painful

Naruto jumped towards Pain. However Pain dodged, seemingly amazing Naruto's demon form.

"This is what happened when you turn full demon." He said.

"So what?" asked Naruto.

"That's an interesting energy you give off in this form." Said Pain.

Naruto glared at him and tried to pounce him again but couldn't.

Elsewhere in the tower Nami decided to chew out Zoro and Sogeking.

"I can't believe you two got stuck together like that!" yelled Nami.

"Blame him it's his fault!" said Zoro and Sogeking at the same time.

"It's both of your faults!" yelled Nami, "Shut up and take their keys!"

Zoro went back to fighting Kaku.

Back with Naruto, Pain continued to dodge Naruto's attacks.

"Kit… have you ever tried that attack in full form?" asked Kyubi, "I kind of forgot."

"Which one?" asked Naruto.

"You know… the one that gives you a bad case of ingestion." Said Kyubi.

"I'll try that one later." Said Naruto.

"If you say so." Muttered Kyubi.

Instead Naruto began to form a Rasengan with his tails.

"You can do that?" asked Pain, "Impressive."

Naruto lunged at Pain with the Rasengan however Pain just dodged.

"Stop dodging!" yelled Naruto.

"You want me to do it the other way then?" asked Pain.

That was when Naruto was flung away, right into a wall. Thankfully Naruto recovered.

"Forgot about that." Thought Naruto.

"OF course you did, it's been a few months since we appeared." Said Kyubi.

"Shut up…" muttered Naruto.

Back in Jabra's room, Sogeking and Jabra fought for a bit, however Sogeking was doing really, really badly.

Sanji quickly realized that this shouldn't be Sogeking's fight and took over.

"I'm sorry… Sanji… I couldn't." said Sogeking.

"It's okay, there's something they're not good at." Said Sanji, "Besides you're alive and that's all that matters."

Sogeking was silent.

That was when they saw that that gates of Justice began to open.

"Hehe…" mocked Jabra, "Once she's crossed that gate, that's it torrential currents and Sea Kings will swarm."

Meanwhile with Sakura's group they ran through a tunnel, with Sakura carrying an Unconscious Chopper.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to carry him?" asked Franky.

"It will be fine." Said Sakura.

"She's his assist." Said Isaribi.

"Assistant what?" asked Franky.

"Doctor." Said Isaribi.

"She's a doctor?" asked Franky.

"Stop talking and run." Said Sakura.

"Yes ma'am." Said Franky.

"What did you call me?" asked Sakura who was still in a weird mixture of a bad and good mood.

"I mean… yes Sakura." Said Franky.

"All right! Let's go!" said Sakura.

Back with Naruto he felt like he should make clones.

"Still more clones?" asked Pain.

"I'm going to be Kage, aren't I?" asked Naruto.

Pain looked at Naruto.

Naruto sent his clones at Pain however pain just sent them back.

"All right!" thought Naruto, "I have a new plan!"

"It better be good." Said Kyubi.

"It will be…" said Naruto, "I can't believe I never came up with something like this before!"

Naruto sent out clones at Pain, which Pain sent back.

However while Pain was distracted Naruto shifted forms… to human.

"So you decided to go back to being human." Said Pain.

"Not quite." Said Naruto.

That was when Pain sensed what was off, about it, one thing was that Naruto was radiating the aura of fear. Not only that but his eyes were red much like when he's possessed by Kyubi.

Naruto felt Kyubi face paw.

"I can't belie neither one of us ever came up with this idea." Said Kyubi.

"I know right." Said Naruto.

Back with Ino's group they saw that the gates were opening.

"This isn't good." Said Kalifa, "Let's skip finding this Sasuke and go after Robin."

"But Sasuke will be an invaluable help!" said Ino.

Both Kiba and Kalifa stared at her.

"Sasuke tried to betray the crew." Pointed out Kiba.

"He wasn't himself." Countered Ino, "besides at least he's more loyal than your brother."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!" yelled Kiba.

Before either could fight a wall of wall of san separated them.

"Now's not the time to be fighting." Muttered Gaara who obviously was the cause.

"Hey!" called out Hinata.

"See… these two are better than Sasuke." Said Kiba, "And having them around won't cloud your judgment."

Thought Kiba had to add under his breath, "Unless Naruto and Hinata had a moment."

"Let me guess Ino wants to find Sasuke." Said Gaara.

"You should be trying to get to Robin." Said Hinata.

That was when she saw Kalifa.

"I'm on your side, okay…" said Kalifa, "Long story."

"I see." Said Hinata.

"Let's just go with out Sasuke." Said Kiba.

"Why should you leave without me?" asked Sakura arriving as well.

"Sasuke!" said Ino with hearts erupting from her.

"This is Sasuke?" asked Kalifa face palming, then again the CP9 were filled with idiots like this, so she shouldn't be surprised that bunch of teenaged pirates acted like that.

"We should go." Said Gaara.

"He's right." Said Hinata.

"Follow me." said Kalifa.

"She better not be leading us to out doom." Said Kiba.

"If she did, she's out numbered." Pointed out Sasuke.

Back with Naruto. He ran towards Pain. However he tripped and ended up dropping the Rasengan.

"Ow! What the hell! That was dirty!" yelled Naruto.

"I didn't do anything." Said Pain.

That was when Naruto created another full demon Rasengan.

"Something tells me you shouldn't run this time." Said Kyubi.

"Okay… thought Naruto.

That was when Naruto jumped into the air. However when he did he ended up jumping over Pain and crashed into the wall.

"Are you doing this on purpose?" asked Pain.

"No!" yelled Naruto.

"My guess…" said Kyubi, "You can control this version of your body because your not used it."

"What do you mean?" thought Naruto.

"You're used to your human form and your half demon form… not a demon generated human form." Explained Kyubi.

"Great…" muttered Naruto.

He released the transformation then turned back in his regular human form.

"Are you giving up?" asked Pain.

"No way…" muttered Naruto.

He reached into his pocket and grabbed the Rumble Ball.

"I still haven't unlocked everything about this thing yet… so let's try something new!" said Naruto.

He popped it into his mouth, hopping that this would work.

Then again he hadn't tried everything yet so who knows what was going to happen…

Next Time: Naruto continues his battle with Pain, will the Rumble Ball work or no... And what else is going on? Find out next time!
