The mission is far from over, even though Lee manage to defeat the blind female thug, Kilala, and ended up falling asleep; Naruto, Sasuke, Kiba and Arkmaru are dealing with the last two thugs, Ibate and Dujobe. The major problem of those two is that Dujobe used his transformation of becoming some wild animal, and Ibate is controlling every living-thing around him. Above all, Ibate use some forbidden jutsu on Sakura, which cause her to lose her conscious again. Sasuke was able to restore his Sharingan and jutsu again, except that Kiba and Arkamaru are now facing up against Dujobe in his wolf/werewolf form while Naruto and Sasuke are after Ibate to rescue Sakura. For she is about to see something she never…
Ibate vs. Leaf ninjas…
Naruto and his clones chased after Ibate, after he took off taking Sakura with him. As they're chasing after the last thug… the trees suddenly came alive as the branch struck at Naruto and his clones. Some of the clones got hit and 'poof' away, and some of them dodged them, though more branched appeared from everywhere as it struck the rest of the clones, and grabbed the real Naruto as he's been wrapped up from each part of his body. Naruto struggled to break free but no luck as the branched held him tighter, "What gives?" he said as he kept struggling. "Don't bother…" he heard a voice then he looked up and saw… the thug as he stood on a tree among him, "Even when you struggle, the trees will just squeeze you tighter until there's nothing left of you," Ibate said as he look down at him with his emotionless face. "You bastard! What have you done with Sakura-chan?" Naruto said with an anger tone, Ibate didn't say anything as he slowly merge his body to the tree, Naruto's eyes were widen while watching Ibate merge himself inside the tree… and made himself disappear out of sight. Though Naruto can still sense his chakra present as he now…
He gasped when he saw the trees rearranging around him, he can't tell whether it's a genjutsu or a ninjutsu, but he can sense a powerful chakra from the thug. Then a huge tree appeared in front of him, a figure emerge out of it, as it was Ibate now standing right in front of him. "Ms. Haruno is somewhere far away from you Leaf ninjas, within a few minutes she'll be on her way to Lord Akeeba," Ibate said to him. "Then what is that your Lord want from her?" Naruto demand and ignoring the tightness from the branches, "That's for me to know, and for you to find out… that is, if you can still catch your breath," Ibate said then he snapped his fingers, ordering his branches to wrap Naruto up more, and begin to squeeze the life out of him. Naruto felt the branches squeezing him tighter, and he can hardly breathe, "Auh…! C-can't… breathe…" Naruto thought as he's being suffocated. Ibate watch him as the branches squeezing him tighter and tighter for him to breathe no more, until…
"Fire Style; Phoenix Flower jutsu!" Ibate heard a voice as he quickly turned and a bunch of fall-balls charging right at him. He quickly jumped out of the way to dodge them, though most of them hit the branches, causing them to burn. As the branches are burning, they're no longer squeezing Naruto, that he was able to break himself free from those branches. After Naruto broke free from those branches, he turned and saw none other than… Sasuke, since he used his fire technique and has his Sharingan activated again. "Sasuke…" Naruto said, "It seems like you really do need saving from me," Sasuke said, Naruto glare at him for a moment, and then he and Sasuke turned to Ibate. "So you were able to regain your chakra again… no matter, Kilala should've block more of your chakra, otherwise you might not use any of your jutsus at all," Ibate said. "You're the one to talk, now what have you done with our comrade?" Sasuke said with demands, Ibate didn't say anything as Sasuke and Naruto glare at him, "…Ms. Haruno is about to be on her way to Lord Akeeba, right about…" he thought.
Further away from the area…
Sakura mumbled as she's regaining consciousness again, she slowly placed her hand on her head as if she has an extreme headache, "My head," she said to herself. Then she slowly got back on her feet and looked around, she's all by herself, she doesn't see Ibate, or anyone else anywhere. "Now where am I?" she said as she slowly got back up, "What just happe… Ah!" she shrieked, when she felt something grabbed her ankle. She looked down and saw… a hand but formed by grass, she started pulling her ankle away from it, but it won't let go of her and then… she suddenly felt two branches wrapped up and grabbed hold of both of her arms, "What the…" she said as she caught into some trap again. That's when she realized…
"GRRR-RR!" she heard something growling… and felt something breathing from behind… she trembles as she's afraid to know what's behind her. But instead… she slowly turned her head towards whatever it is behind her, and… she gasped when she saw… demons! Merging out of the tree, about three or four of them look at her with their bright yellow eyes, revealing their sharp teeth… and they look hungry. Sakura never felt this scared her whole life… and now she's about to be devour by demons!
Ibate vs. Leaf ninjas…
"Out with it, where's…?" Naruto said until,
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!"
They all heard a loud scream of terror, as they know it was Sakura, "Sakura-chan," Naruto thought as he's knows that she's in trouble. Then suddenly… Ibate use control of the trees again as the branches charge at Naruto and Sasuke. They quickly dodged them, though they kept on coming, so Sasuke pull out and threw shurikens at them…
Slash! Cut! Slash! Cut!
The branches were cut and slash by the shurikens, Naruto and Sasuke landed on one of the trees, as Ibate is still controlling every tree around him. "Naruto…" Naruto turned to Sasuke, "You go on and find Sakura, leave this thug to me," he said as he glare at Ibate, normally Naruto would protest but he's more worried about what happen to Sakura, that she might end up hurt or worse. "Just go on you dobe, I can handle him," Sasuke said as he got his kunai got and prepared himself, Naruto didn't say anything but nodded his head, then he started to leave the area to rescue Sakura. Ibate saw him leaving, "I will not allow," he thought as he command the trees to stop him. The trees use their branches to charge at Naruto from behind, Naruto turned and saw the branches coming at him again, they almost got him until…
Slash! Cut! Slash! Cut!
They all got cut and slashed by more shuriken… by Sasuke, "Thanks teme," Naruto thought as he continue his way to rescue Sakura. Ibate turned to Sasuke after he was able to help his comrade from those branches, "He's not you're problem anymore, as of now, I'm your opponent," Sasuke said as he got to his fighting stance. Ibate didn't bother showing any emotions nor said anything, "This will be my first time fighting against someone with a powerful bloodline of the Kekkei Genkai," Ibate thought as spread his legs apart, and more trees come to life but under his control. Now that Sasuke has his Sharingan activated, he's more than ready fight against the last thug; the mission is almost over, that is, once Naruto rescue Sakura and take her back to the village.
Kiba and Arkamaru vs. Dujobe (beast form)…
Kiba and Arkamaru got into their fighting stances as Dujobe got out of a pile of rocks and stones, "So it's just you two huh… I'll see to it that you both won't make it out of here… alive," Dujobe said while growling. "Alright Arkamaru, let's take this animal down," Kiba said after he pulled out a food pill for Arkamaru, "Barks!" Arkamaru barked Kiba gave him the food pill, which causes his fur to turn red and look vicious, then he jumped on Kiba's head. "Now then…" Kiba said as he and Arkamaru gather up their chakra, "Beast Human Clone jutsu!"
'Poof' Arkamaru is transform to Kiba again. "And now…" they both charge at Dujobe,
"Fang over Fang!" Kiba and Arkamaru started spinning in full speed, targeting at Dujobe. Dujobe stood in his position as he saw them coming right at him, he stuck both his hands out and…
Bam!
Just like Kilala, Dujobe got both of them as they kept spinning, causing smoke on his palm but he doesn't respond to the pain or burn, then… he made them stop spinning as he got them both by the collars. "Pathetic," he said then he threw Arkamaru (Kiba) back to the ground, 'poof' back to original form, and…
Bam!!!
Dujobe slammed Kiba to the ground very hard, hard enough to make a crater with many cracks. "You don't have what it takes to fight a real beast," Dujobe said, then…
Crush!!
He stomped on Kiba with his foot at his front very hard, hard another for Kiba to cough out blood, as if he felt his ribs are being crush. "I'll just crush you and break every bone in your body," Dujobe said while growling at him, then started stomping and crushing him like useless rot. Then Arkamaru saw his master getting pulverize by that beast, as he got back and, with no hesitation, he charge at him,
"Rarf! Rarf!" he barked at him as he jumped and…
Bite!
Dujobe stopped crushing Kiba as he noticed Arkamaru biting on his arm and growling at him, "Get off me you weak mutt!" Dujobe said and was about to grab him. But Arkamaru quickly ran away from grasp as he ran up to his shoulder and…
BiTe!!
"RRROOOAAA!!!!!" Dujobe roared after Arkamaru is now biting his ear, (surely every animal hates it when they have ears bitten, especially wild animals.) Kiba opened his eyes and saw Arkamaru biting Dujobe's ear, and notice him backing away,
"Arkamaru," he said, but still hurt from Dujobe stomping and crushing him, so some parts of his front aches. Dujobe was about to grab Arkamaru again, but Arkamaru got away from his grasp again as he ran down on his back and then…
BITE!!!
"RRROOOOAAAAA!!!!!" Dujobe roared again after Arkamaru is now biting his tail, (I know that every tail is an animal's weakness) "Arkamaru!" Kiba said as he tried to get back up. Dujobe turned and saw Arkamaru still biting his tail, and growling at him, "Why you!" he said while growling at him, he tried to grab him but, like a dog, he's chasing his own tail. So instead… he used his fangs to bite back. But, again, Arkamaru quickly dodged his bite as he just jumped on top of him and ran up to his back again, then…
BITE!
"RRROOOAAAA!!!" Dujobe roared again after Arkamaru is biting on his back, "Quit biting me," he yelled, but Arkamaru kept biting and growling at the same time,
"Don't give up Arkamaru," Kiba thought as he slowly got back up. Dujobe tried to reach Arkamaru to grab him, but he can't even reach his own back, "GET OFF ME YOU MUTT!" he yelled. Then… he went down onto his four feet and started running, then…
BaM!
He hit his back to the stone wall, trying to shake off Arkamaru off his back or crush him with each stone wall he hit, thanks to his animal instinct, he kept running and hitting each stone wall trying to get Arkamaru off him. Kiba saw him running away, "I won't let that monster hurt my dog," Kiba thought as he started running after him, even though his front is still sore, he careless about his injury because he's more worried about Arkamaru. "Hang in there Arkamaru!" he yelled as he chased after Dujobe.
Sasuke vs. Ibate…
Ibate made the first move as the branches charge at Sasuke, Sasuke saw them coming as he quickly jumped out of the way. Except… some of the trees come alive and used their branches to wrap-up and grabbed hold of both his arms and legs, but spread them apart, and pinned him to a tree behind him.
"I'll just kill you right here in this spot," Ibate said as he formed some hand-sign, gather up his chakra and place his hand on the tree he's standing on, the trunks started growing taller as it's facing Sasuke. Sasuke notices something merging out of it, as it revealed… sharp daggers all made of wood and targeting Sasuke wide open. He couldn't escape from them as both his arm and legs a tied-up by those branches,
"Now then… One-Hundred Daggers of Death!" Ibate said as the daggers shot out of the tree and flew at Sasuke, and then…
Stab! Stab! Stab!
They all hit Sasuke right at the front, "Hn…" Ibate said as he saw him hanging there, dead. Except…
Poof!
It turned out that Ibate hit a log instead, "A Substitution jutsu," he said, then he heard,
"Fire Style; Fireball jutsu!" he turned and saw… a huge fireball coming right at him. Since he didn't have time to dodge it, he quickly grabbed the trunk and… stretched it in front of him, to use it as a shield, made of wood, to deflect the fireball. It worked as he defended himself from Sasuke's fireball jutsu, although fire overcomes wood and his shield burned, he removed it out of the way, until he saw… three kunais and two shurikens flying right at him, and…
Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!
He got hit to the front, flew to the opposite direction and hit a tree behind him, Sasuke appeared on the other tree across from Ibate as he saw him still standing while kunais and shurikens are still plunged at his front. "This is pitiful… when it comes to fighting you Leaf ninjas still use your weapons even for the fact that they won't work on us," Ibate said as he shows no expression or the response of the pain on his chest. Then, for some reason, Sasuke made a smirk on his face, "I already figured that… but there's more than just using weapons during a combat, and that's called a surprise attack," he said to him, Ibate doesn't know what he's talking about… until he heard something light-up. He looked down at his chest and saw… paper-bombs all wrapped-up on the kunais, and they already lit-up. So…
KABOOOM!!!!!
A huge explosion was made, and Ibate was flying in the opposite direction very fast, hitting and breaking every tree from behind. Until he hit the last tree, but made a huge crater on it, Sasuke stood up as the smoke is clearing… and he sees the damages of the trees Ibate hit through, "Hn…" he said, as he was able to get him off guard. Then he disappeared from that area.
Through the forest…
Sakura struggled to break free, as she was able to pull her ankle away from the grassy-hand, then she pull her arm away from the branch and used it to pull her other arm out. After she pulled herself away, she started running for her life, the demons emerge out of the tree and started chasing her. Sakura saw them chasing after her as she kept running from them, just when she turned around,
"AAHHH!" she screamed as she stopped running when she just spotted more demons merging out of the other tree. So she quickly ran to a different direction to get away from them, until… she gasped when she spotted more and more demons merging out of each tree around her, "This can't be happening," she thought as her body quivers with fear. Then suddenly… a demon merged out of the ground, as its right under her feet, but mostly beside her right foot as it look up to her. Sakura didn't notice it there, it merged at of there as it jumped towards her lower side of her torso and…
Bite!
Sakura felt something bit her on the side, as she…
Faraway from area…
Naruto is jumping through the forest as fast as he can, when…
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" he heard her screamed again, but this time she was in pain, "I better hurry," he thought as he's on his way to rescue Sakura. Except he wasn't alone, Naruto suddenly sensed a very powerful chakra as it's coming from the other side of him in his right. He quickly turned to his side and saw… a shadow figure also jumping though the forest in the same speed as his. Naruto was able to look at it close enough to tell it was a male adult, that he's wearing a black cape and hat, and he's heading the same direction as Naruto is going. "Could that be…?" Naruto thought as he watched the stranger going where he's going, then… the man turned to Naruto with his bright yellow eyes, and an evil smirk on his face. Naruto glared at him, "So that's Lord Akeeba the thug kept mentioning about," he thought, as he finally saw Lord Akeeba himself, then… he just saw Akeeba went faster on her pace as he jumped through the forest ahead of him. "He's going after Sakura-chan! I have to beat him to her," Naruto thought as he picked up the pace faster, trying to catch up to Akeeba and get to Sakura before he does.
Kiba and Arkamaru vs. Dujobe (beast form)…
Dujobe kept running and hitting each stone wall he passed by, but still couldn't get Arkamaru off his back as he's still biting him. "That's it!" he said as he stopped himself and stood back up again. Arkamaru finally stop biting him back as he was about to bite his ear again… except, Dujobe finally grabbed him. Then he threw Arkamaru to a stone wall very hard, then he hit the ground hurt, Dujobe growled at him, "You worthless little trash," he said. Then he spotted a boulder beside him, so he used his strength to lift it up with both hands, and held it over his head, "I'll crush you!" he said as he's walking up to Arkamaru, carrying a boulder over his head. Arkamaru was trying to get away from him, but one of his paws got hurt after Dujobe threw to the stone wall. Dujobe was about to crush him with the boulder, until…
A kunai was thrown, and it has a paper-bomb on it, once it hit the boulder it was already lit-up, and then…
Boom!
The boulder exploded over Dujobe's head as it crumbled on him, then… three purple smoke bombs were thrown and hit right between him and Arkamaru, causing some purple smoke around them. Dujobe couldn't see anything as the purple smoke is everywhere, "What is this, some kind of trick?" he said as he tried to see through the smoke. Just at that moment… the smoke slowly clear, Dujobe can see everything again… everything except that Arkamaru is no longer there. "Where did that mutt disappeared to?" he said as he search around the area, he doesn't see anything, until something caught his eye. He spotted a drop of blood on the ground, he got down on his four legs as he got near the dropped of blood. He sniffed it, recognizing it's scent, then he starting sniffing the air as he caught the scent, "Found you," he said while growling then he started following the scent, hunting down his two preys.
Arkamaru mumbles to the pain of his paw, while his master is carrying him, "Hang in there Arkamaru," Kiba said as he's running through ridge between the mountains, trying to get away from the beast himself. "There has to be a way out of here," he thought trying to find a way out of this place, since there's hardly anywhere out of this ridge. He kept running, carrying Arkamaru in his arms, and hopefully got away from that beast thug.
Sasuke vs. Ibate…
Sasuke reappeared and found Ibate at a cratered tree behind him, as his shirt and pants are ripped and torned from that explosion. Yet, Sasuke can still sensed his chakra as he's not completely knocked out. Then…
"That was an impressive move…" he heard Ibate's voice, as he saw him moving and slowly getting back up, "I nearly underestimated you," he said as got back on his feet. Then something caught Sasuke's eye when he saw… something spreading around his body, some kind of glowing gold marks (kind of like Sasuke's curse mark as it spread all over his body.) As Ibate slowly lift his head up and looking at Sasuke with his entire paled blue eyes,
"Eh!" Sasuke responded as he's shocked when he saw his face, as half of it was covered by those glowing gold marks, that it was led from his right face around his neck down to his back and chest, and around his left leg.
"Now let's see if you're capable of facing the real deal!" Ibate said as he gather up his chakra he had left to full power. Sasuke sensed his chakra increasing into full power, "What is he?" he thought as he never faced anyone with that much power, then suddenly… he felt everything around him is changing, but more demonic. Then… he gasped when he saw… all the trees coming alive, but more vicious, monstrous, and mostly demonic, as they all turned to him,
"GRRR-RRR!!!" some were growling at him, some glared at him, and some want to kill him. Then suddenly… a branch charge at him, as he's standing on one of the demonic trees, so he quickly jumped and dodged it's attack. After he did, he heard…
"Bad move," Sasuke turned and saw Ibate as he just appeared behind him and…
KICK!
He kicked him right to the side, as Sasuke flew and broke through one of the trees, but quickly grabbed hold of a branch before he flew even further, "How was he able to appear that quick?" he thought as he stood on the branch. But… he felt the branch moving around as he's on one of the demonic trees again, it roared at him as it was about to grab him, but Sasuke jumped and dodged it's grasped. Then…
"Too slow," Sasuke's eyes were widened when he saw Ibate as he appeared right in front of him, but upside-down and they're face to face. Except…
BAM!
He hit him, or more like slap him, but with his back knuckle which cause Sasuke to fly to the opposite direction again, but this time… Ibate disappeared and reappeared in front of a tree to where Sasuke was about to crush into. Apparently…
KICK!
Ibate kicked him under his jaw with his snap-kick as Sasuke was kicked to the air, then Ibate disappeared and reappeared to where Sasuke was floating in mid air. Until he grabbed his ankle… twirled him around very fast… and just when he let him go, he threw down through the forest, and he crush and broke through every tree on his way down…
BAM!
To the ground. Ibate landed on the tree branch as he saw other trees were damaged and Sasuke was hit to the ground, "Is that the best you got Uchiha?" he said, "I should have unleash my inner strength from the very beginning," Ibate thought as the smoke was clearing and Sasuke is somewhere in a pile of large, and also damaged torn down trees and branches.
Through the forest…
"Get off me!" Sakura yelled at the demon still biting her lower torso, then suddenly… demons merged out of the trees and some of them jumped on her. Two demons grabbed hold of her arm, and the two more demons took over the other arm; then more demons started crawling all over each part of her body. Sakura saw and felt demons all over her as she struggles and try to shake them off her, "No! Stop! Ah!!!" she yelled and screamed as she's panicking. Then she was able to shake off some demons that were holding her leg, then she kicked some of them away her. She then hit a tree behind her, that cause demons to fell off of her, then she was able to shook two demons off her left arm and turned to the demon that's still biting her. "GET OFF ME!" she yelled and…
Punch!!!
She punched the demon to the face, and made it stop biting her, except now the lower right of her torso started bleeding. After she was able to get all the demons off of her, she felt bleeding and pain on her lower torso as she placed her hand it, trying not to lose too much blood. Though, she knows that the demons are coming at her again, so she started running again as they chase after her. Sakura ran through the forest, still having her hand placing onto her bleeding side as she still felt the pain after that demon bit her. She turned as she saw those demons chasing after her, "Why are they after me?" she thought, "I don't care about that! Just keep running!" Inner Sakura said. Just when she turned back to the front… she gasped when she spotted… an edge over a cliff, she quickly stopped herself as she's close to falling over the edge. Sakura was on her balance, as she looked down the ground, as she's never been this high up. "Oh shit!" she said as she almost close to falling towards her death, after she kept her balance she turned and saw those demons caught up to her as she's now surrounded. She tried to step away from them, but she's too close to the edge, "I don't know what to do… I don't know what to do…" she thought as she trembles with the fear of death approaching to her. "Naruto… Sasuke-kun… anybody… help me!" she thought.
Naruto vs. Akeeba…
Naruto was able to catch up to Akeeba as they're now at the same pace, then Akeeba jumped off the trees to the ground as he now started running through the forest, speeding up the pace ahead of Naruto again. Naruto did the same as he jumped off the trees to the ground and chase after him again. At that moment… he was able to catch up to him as they're at the same pace again, Naruto looked at Akeeba as Akeeba looked as him, with an evil smirk still on his face, as they both kept on running. That they're on the race to get to Sakura first, "I'm not going to let that bastard have her," Naruto thought as he glare at him. Then suddenly…
Naruto just saw Akeeba through three shurikens at him, except the shurikens are more like blades, and they're coming right at him fast. Naruto was able to duck… jump… and dodged them with a scratch on them, but little did he expect… those blade-shurikens are like boomerangs as they're spinning right him at again; but in separate directions. Two spinning and flying to the right coming at his front, and the third spinning and flying to the left coming from behind. Then…
Stab! Stab! Stab!
Naruto got hit by two blade-shurikens at the front, and one on his back, Akeeba turned his evil smirk into an evil smile when he his target got hit. But…
Poof!
It turned out that he hit a shadow-clone instead of the real Naruto, then… six shurikens appeared out of the trees. Akeeba saw them as he quickly stopped running and dodged them as they all hit the front in his way, then…
"Shadow Clone jutsu!" he heard Naruto's voice as… a bunch of Naruto clones appeared everywhere and around him.
"You're not going anywhere," they all said at the same time, Akeeba stood back up and doesn't seem surprise to see much shadow clone all around him, and he still has that evil smile on his face.
"Hn…"
Kiba and Arkamaru vs. Dujobe (beast form)…
Kiba kept on running while carrying Arkamaru, they were close of getting out of here, but they were wrong. Just when Kiba ran around the corner, he stopped himself as he and Arkamaru found themselves a dead end, yet a big open area of a circle around the ridge of the mountains. "Shit," Kiba said as there's no way out of this place, "Ruff! Ruff!" Arkamaru barked, "What's that?" he asked, communicating with him. "R-Ruff! Ruff! Ruff-Ruff! Ruff!" Arkamaru barked, "Double-shit!" Kiba said when Arkamaru told him that Dujobe is right behind them and he's heading this way. So Kiba took his time to think of a plan and quick.
A few moments later… Dujobe appeared as he followed the scent here, but he doesn't see Kiba or Arkamaru anywhere. All he sees are large boulders and stones on different places, he got up on his two paws, "I know you're both here… I can smell you from miles away," he said as he started walking and passing each boulder and stone. "You both either show yourselves or I'll just smell you out," he said while growling, he can still smell Kiba's scent as he's here alright; him and Arkamaru. Just then… Dujobe stopped walking as the scent is get closer, then he led his thin, paled brown eyes at the boulder right next to him, "Are you both hiding there?" he whispered as he spread his claw out, all ready and sharp. Then…
Slash!
He scratched the boulder with his claw and made it crumbled to pieces, after that, Dujobe looked down and saw that Kiba and Arkamaru… aren't there. All he sees was some gray jacket, but with the same scent as his prey, he picked it up and took a good sniff at it. "So they try to leave behind part of their scent to prevent me finding them… very clever but not enough," he thought, then he looked around still seeing large boulders and stones in the way. "You two can't hide from me forever," he said while growling, then dropped the jacket and walked over it as he continue searching for Kiba and Arkamaru.
While passing each boulder and stone… Kiba peeking at him, while holding Arkamaru as they're hiding behind a large stone. He saw Dujobe walking by, sniffing to track down his scent, he looked away as he held Arkarmaru in his arms. "I was hoping he wouldn't find it that quick," he whispered, Arkamaru whimpered quietly, "Don't worry Arkamaru, we'll get out of this," he whispered to his buddy, even though deep down, he's more worried about Dujobe hunting them down.
Sasuke vs. Ibate…
Slowly removing branches off him, Sasuke's body aches after Ibate's counter-attack, he took his time to slowly get back on his feet. He coughed out some blood then he looked up to Ibate as he looked down at him, he still sees his glowing gold marks. "Those marks of his must be the only cause of how he got much faster and stronger," he thought, then he saw the demonic trees turned to him, growling at him as he nearly forgot about the trees are under Ibate's control and coming after him. "I should just kill him and get back with Ms. Haruno," Ibate thought as he's about to call out the trees to attack the Leaf ninja, getting rid of him for good.
Naruto vs. Akeeba…
Akeeba chuckled evilly, "How amusing…" Naruto and his clones stare at him,
"That a child such as yourself was able to obtain much chakra with these much clones. However, a human can't possibly make this clones in one go… unless, there's a certain demon sealed inside you, is that correct? Mr. Uzumaki," Akeeba said.
"How the hell did you know my name?" Naruto asked in an anger tone,
"I know more than enough there is about you Naruto," Akeeba answered as he tipped his hat, almost covering his left eye. "I know that you're born in Konoha Leaf Village, you grew up all alone with no friends or family, and that village hates you and scared of you because of the Nine-Tailed Fox demon that the Fourth Hokage sealed you when you were born," Akeeba said. Naruto tighten his fist when he mention about his past, about how everyone hates him and he never had any family, Akeeba continues, "Of course, you're dream in life is to become Hokage, so everyone will look up to you and respect you like a hero, and never a monster."
There was silent between them, until Akeeba chuckled and then turned it to a laugh for no reason, which made Naruto a bit pissed. "I heard people dreaming of flying dragons, discovering lost valleys, and building a new world underwater, but a demon-child dreaming of becoming Hokage…?" he said and laughed, "I've heard crazy and pathetic stories during my time, but this one just hit the top five," he said while still laughing. Naruto is now passed pissed as he's now angry because Akeeba think his dream is nothing but a joke to him and he finds it funny. He tightened his fist as Akeeba kept on laughing, "How pathetic," he said as he's turned down his laugh back to a chuckle. Naruto is now furious as if he unleashed the powerful chakra of the Nine-tailed Fox, so he, along with his clones, pulled out their shurikens,
"SHUT-UP!!!" he yelled at him, then he and his clones threw their shurikens at him at the same time.
Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!
Each shuriken hit every parts of his body; arms, legs, front, back, even under his neck. Naruto and his clones were surprised that Akeeba is still standing on his feet, even with all those shurikens still plunged in his body. "How could he not dodge them all…? He shouldn't even be standing," he thought as he watch him still standing, as he's completely unharmed. He made an evil smile on his face again, he chuckled evilly as he led his eyes at Naruto, then he said, "…Tough," and suddenly…
Kiba and Arkamaru vs. Dujobe (beast form)…
Kiba and Arkamaru are still hiding from Dujobe, as he already slashed two stones and three boulders he passed by. They can sense him coming closer… and closer… and closer… until…
"AAHHH!!!" they both heard Dujobe screamed, as if he's in… pain. Kiba took another peek and saw… Dujobe crouched down, as he's down on his knees and his claws dug through the ground, "GRAAAGH!!!!!" he screamed again. He somehow felt each muscle inside his body, as if weapons pierced right through him, and that's not all. Kiba and Arkamaru watched him as he's groaning in pain, then suddenly… Dujobe slowly shrunk down to his normal size, all his fur slowly falling off, his claws, fangs, pointy ears, and tail slowly disappeared. During that moment… Dujobe is back to his human form as his beast transformation retreat after that pain attacked him from the inside, "What just happened?" Kiba whispered as he and Arkamaru are confused.
"How did this happened…? Could it be that…" Dujobe thought as he's still on his knees, his hands toughing the ground, and staring at it with his paled brown eyes.
Sasuke vs. Ibate…
Sasuke was about to be attack by the demonic trees… until…
"AAHHH!!!" he heard Ibate screamed as he looked up to him, as he crouch down, placing his hand on his lower left torso, placed his other hand on his head, and got down on one knee. "AGH!!!" he screamed again, because he somehow felt daggers attacking him from the inside, and that's not just it. Somehow, the demonic trees suddenly pulled back from Sasuke, and… they slowly reversed back into normal, yet living, trees. "What's going on?" Sasuke thought after he saw the tree went back to normal, then he went back watching Ibate groan in pain.
Then at that moment… Ibate's glowing gold marks suddenly disappeared along with his entire blue eyes as it's back to his paled blue eyes, "The jutsu has been cut off, which means Ms. Haruno is…" he thought as his jutsu wore off so quickly at the time like this.
Naruto vs. Akeeba…
Naruto spotted crows flying out from under Akeeba's cape, but that's not all. More crows kept on flying out him, but this time, each part of his body started to disappear as more crows kept on flying out of him. "Is this some kind of genjutsu?" Naruto thought as he never seen these many crows flying everywhere, and Akeeba slowly disappear as the crows flew out of him as the only things that were left behind were the shurikens that was plunged in his body. After that… the shurikens were on the ground, Akeeba disappeared right in front of him and now see crows flying around the sky. Naruto saw them as he and his clones are being circled around by flying crows, as they 'kaw' at them. Naruto stood in his position as some of the crows are flying down, and landed on each tree around them, they all looked down at them,
"Where are you Akeeba?" he yelled at the crows, they just looked at him as some 'kaw' at him, "Come out and show yourself you coward," he yelled as he's still angry at him. Then he heard the same evil chuckle again… he looked around him but doesn't see him anywhere. Until suddenly…
A sharp black feather was thrown… and just hit one of the clones,
Poof!
It 'poof' away, then a few more sharp black feathers were thrown… and hit three more clones,
Poof! Poof! Poof!
They 'poof' away, then more sharp black feathers were thrown in different direction; left and right, but mostly from above. Each of them hit every clone…
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
Each and every clone were hit and 'poof' away from those sharp black feathers. The real Naruto was left standing out of the open, he heard Akeeba's evil chuckle again but still doesn't see him. He looked up to where the crows are as they're still looking down at him and 'kaw' at him, "I nearly forgot that you're one obstinate child," he heard his voice, as he's somewhere above him. He still doesn't see him, but spotted one of the crows as one of them is acting differently, as if it's changing; and it is. Naruto watched as crow is changing as it beginning grow bigger and bigger than the other crows, as it grew into a size of a human, then it hid himself under it's wings as it change more, then it form… a person, and by person I mean Akeeba, as he stood on a branch looking down at Naruto. "Nevertheless, I pity your little jutsu," he said to him, Naruto glare at him again, "Dammit," he thought.
Edge over the cliff…
Sakura is close to her death, between demons about to devour her and being close to the edge of the cliff, "I can't believe this is the end for me," she thought as she's about to be finished. Until… all the demons suddenly disappeared to thin air, which surprised Sakura, "Eh! What just…? They all disappeared? But… how could they…?" she said until… the edge broke which cause her to fall!
"AAAHHHH!!!!!" she screamed while she's falling, then her feet landed on the stone hill, "AH!!!" she screamed as she sprang one of her ankles. Then she rolled down the hill… fell off… and finally hit the ground. "Ugh," she said as she's now in pain, of her bleeding torso from the demon that bit her, and sprang her left ankle after falling over a cliff. She slowly getting back up as she covered her bleeding torso again, "I really need to watch where I step," she said to herself as she tried to get on her feet. Although, she sprang her left ankle so she can only stand on her right foot, she was panting, "Now I have to find a way out of here," she thought, then she was about start limp a bit leaving the area.
That is… until a crow just flew by, and spotted the pink-haired kunoichi over the cliffs, so it flew down… and landed on the ground. Then the crow quickly change as grew, and grew, and grew to a human figure as it's feathers turned to a caped, that matched the hat because the crow turned into…
"Hello my dear…" Sakura gasped when she heard a male voice, as he's right behind her, so she turned around and saw… a man wearing a long black cape and a hat, has black short hair, along with a mustache and a beard. Has bright yellow eyes, and has an evil smirk on his face whiling looking at Sakura, "C-Could that be…?" she thought, "It's him! That's Lord Akeeba!" Inner Sakura yelled. As Sakura finally meet Lord Akeeba in the flesh.
