Rage about it! – chapter 12
Recap:
As Gaara continued to laugh a tick formed on Sasuke's brow. "Okay that's it Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" the avenger said as he fired off the fire jutsu. Naruto let loose a barrage of chakra shaped scythe blades from the other side.
When Gaara's sand rose up and blocked both attacks, Sasuke was slightly shocked. When the sand absorbed the chakra blades, Naruto simply said "FUCK!"
Story Start:
With a howl Gaara sent a wave of sand out toward Sasuke and Naruto, who both jumped up onto some higher up tree branches. "Okay so I guess we bring out the big guns," said Naruto.
"Hai," agreed Sasuke as he grabbed his right wrist with his left hand and electricity began to crackle around his right fist.
Naruto sighed and said "Man, I wish I had completed my Rasengan training…but I guess this will have to do." as he raised his hands in the now familiar kitsune battle stance. His blue eyes deepened as red chakra whipped around his clawed hands.
When Gaara lunged for Sasuke, Naruto dive bombed him drawing the red head's attention to the blonde as said blonde used his chakra incased hands to fend off Gaara's sand and land a glancing blow on the sand shinobi's right shoulder.
With a roar of outrage Gaara grabbed Naruto with his arm that was now made of sand successfully pinning the blonde down. "CHIDORI!" yelled Sasuke thrusting his attack into the sand arm's wrist causing it to fall apart, freeing the blonde.
Naruto panted slightly to regain the breath that had been squeezed out of him. "Okay plan B," said Naruto as he clasped his hands like he was praying. Folding his fingers until only his index fingers and thumbs are pointed up.
Closing his eyes wind began to swirl around the blond. Snapping open his now red slited eyes, Naruto flung the wind outward. It now glows a hazy red with demonic chakra. Separating the wind turned into a small floating red flames that danced around the battle filled. Sasuke was panting on the side lines from exertion.
Just one chidori left, the dark haired Uchiha thought as he curiously watched Naruto's new attack begin. Naruto growled and said "Sukai Rippuku!" at his words the flames began pelting Gaara.
Gaara merely swiped at the incoming flames with his sand covered arm. His crazed eyes widened as he roared out in pain as the flames weaved threw the sand to slice at his arm. Forced to weave around the flames Gaara launched himself at Naruto who was still holding his pose.
Naruto's eyes widened as Gaara sailed at him. Blinking the blond jumped back, as he did so the flames flickered and dispersed. Gaara landed on the branch Naruto had left and howled as Sasuke thrust a chidori into his back. Sasuke, landing next to Naruto on a tree in front of Gaara, panted.
"Did it work?" Sasuke asked between pants. Naruto eyed Gaara as the red head was surrounded by sand. In a burst of demonic chakra Gaara's form expanded. When the sand shinobi finished he was perched on top of (kinda halfway into really) a giant raccoon.
"I WILL PROVE MY EXISTANCE!" the red head howled as he sunk into the raccoon.
"Nope…don't think it did." said Naruto finally answering his dark haired teammate. Sasuke scowled and said,
"Gee, you don't say." Their conversation was cut short as the giant tanuki (thanks to fairyqueen maeve and AliKat12 for helping me out with tanuki:) swiped its tail at the two sending them flying back into the trees behind them.
"Ow," said Naruto as he pulled himself up off the ground were he had landed after hitting a tree.
"Baka," said Sasuke from were he had used chakra to stick to a tree.
"Oi Oi! Its not my fault! Sukai Rippuku takes a heck of a lot of chakra. Even with my demonic chakra it takes a while to replenish it…" defended Naruto hotly.
Sasuke coked an eye brow and said, "So basically you're useless right now, huh?"
Naruto growled under his breath and said, "NO!...okay maybe a little."
Sasuke chuckled at Naruto's expression before widening his eyes and shouting, "LOOK OUT!"
Naruto blinked before jumping back rapidly to avoid the incoming sand shuriken. Sasuke found himself also dodging the projectiles before he landed on another branch. "Okay, note to self, don't ignore the giant tanuki," Naruto said, crouching as he watched the towering form of sand.
Bringing his hands into a familiar cross shape Naruto said "Kage bunshin no Jutsu!" As the clearing filled with clones Naruto pointed and said, "CHARGE!" As the group rushed forward, the clones braced themselves as they gave the remaining charging Narutos a boost into the air before they went poof as the tail slammed into them.
As the remaining bunshins flew towards the belly of the tanuki, the beast swiped a clawed paw at them. Four of the bunshin's impacted allowing the last Naruto to jump off the claw and continue to the belly.
Going threw some seals Naruto said, "Rippuku toku!" as angry looking red chakra surrounded him and allowed him to slip into the mass of sand. Tunneling through the sand Naruto reached Gaara's shocked form. Slamming a clawed hand into the red head's right shoulder, he sunk his claws into the already open wound. Naruto let out a low growl at the other demon container.
With a howl of pain, Gaara surged to the forehead of the raccoon dragging his tormenter with him. Naruto, having let go of the Rippuku toku as soon as he had grabbed the red head in an effort to conserve chakra, gasped for air even as he released his hold on the red head and vaulted off the raccoon to escape the incoming tendrils of sand.
Making his way to Sasuke, who was now resting in a tree trying to recoup some of his (Sasuke's) chakra. Landing on the branch Naruto looked back at the howling red head and said "Well, he's pissed."
Sasuke rubbed his eyes and said "I never would have guessed…you don't happen to have any chakra pills on you do you?"
Naruto blinked owlishly and said "Chakra pills?"
…flash back (of doom!)…
Naruto, Sakura, and Pakkun had just left Shino and were closing the distance between themselves and the remaining two Suna shinobi when Sakura called a sudden halt. Landing, Naruto looked at his pink haired teammate and asked "What's wrong Sakura-chan?"
Sakura was rummaging in her pack and instead of answering pulled out a small paper package. "Here take this," Sakura said giving Naruto the package.
Naruto looked at it and asked "What is it?"
Sakura smirked and said, "Chakra pills, I picked them up this morning just in case."
Naruto blinked and asked, "What about you?"
Sakura smirked and said, "While I may have less chakra then you, but I use mine more efficiently and don't waste it like a certain knuckle head I know." Naruto stuck his tongue out at his companion as they resumed the chase.
…end flash back (of doom!)…
Naruto chuckled and said "I had completely forgotten about them." as he rummaged in his pack before pulling out a small paper packet.
Sasuke shook his head and said "Typical." Opening the packet, Naruto shook out two chakra pills into his palm. Naruto took one of the pills and offered the other to Sasuke. Accepting, Sasuke popped the pill into his mouth, Naruto's pill already having disappeared.
"Oh that looks bad." said Naruto looking at Gaara who had his hands in a seal "Spell of Fake Sleep!" the red head said before sagging. The eyes of the tanuki went from black to the strange star like shape Sasuke recognized from when he had first fought Gaara.
"Okay new plan." said Naruto going threw some hand seals before saying "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" as he bit his thumb then slammed his hand onto the tree branch. A cloud of smoke filled the clearing as Sasuke yelled out.
"Oi! Think you could give me some warning!" said an irate Sasuke as he looked up from where he had rolled to land between a pair of huge orange webbed feet.
Naruto chuckled as he looked down at his friend form his perch atop Gamabunta's amphibian head and said, "Sorry bout that."
Gamabunta looked at the giant raccoon standing before him before bellowing, "It seems you have gotten yourself into an interesting predicament."
Naruto laughed and said, "Well yeah, I'm good like that."
With a roar the giant tanuki inhaled before exhaling and saying "Fuuton Renkuudan!" sending a barrage of air blast toward the Konoha shinobi and toad boss.
"Hang on!" Gamabunta yelled to his tow passengers, Sasuke having joined Naruto for safety reasons, as he pumped his powerful legs and flews into the air avoiding the fist of the bullets.
Taking a breath, Gamabunta said "Suiton:Teppoudama No Jutsu!" as he released two bursts of high powered water from his mouth. Each of the water blasts impacted a wind bullet canceling it out.
"LOOK OUT!" shouted Naruto clutching Gamabunta's jacket to conserve chakra.
"There's more!" added Sasuke from beside Naruto.
Quickly swinging his dagger free Gamabunta got it up just in time to block the blast of the last air bullets. The impact of the blast on the blade threw off Gamabunta's balance causing him to make a jerky landing that almost unseated his passengers.
"Okay, that wasn't fun." said Naruto standing up a little shakily. Sasuke huned as he climbed to his feet. With a roar, Shukaku lunged at Gamabunta. With a grunt, Gamabunta took the blow on his blade.
The force of the blow sent the toad boss skidding backwards leaving a trail in the forest under him. "AHHHhh!" screamed Naruto once again clinging for dear life. Sasuke rolled his eyes as he held on beside the loud blonde.
"I think we're going to have to do this a little differently," said Gamabunta with a grunt. Shukaku had begun laughing like a lunatic as Gamabunta yanked his blade from the ground where he had used it to slow his momentum.
"So…know any fire jutsu?" Gamabunta asked as Shukaku began advancing once more. "Nope not a one." announced Naruto enthusiastically.
The end:
OH the joy of the cliffy 'laughs evilly' oh yes I do enjoy being the author, don't forget to look below for jutsu explanations :) and leave me a review…flames will be given to Gamabunta for use.
Translations:
Tanuki – okay once again thanks to fairyqueen maeve and AliKat12 for helping me out on this one -. It is translated as Japanese Raccoon Dog (which is an actually animal) and is also paramount in Japanese folklore for being mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise and shapeshifting, but somewhat gullible and absent-minded…as well as having…some other unique…features O.O (I looked tanuki up after fairyqueen maeve and AliKat12 told me the right name -)
And explanation:
Okay so I had to assume that Gaara has a bubble of oxygen around him while he's shall we say in the belly of the beast, that's why Naruto was able to release Rage Shield when he got their, he no longer needed the oxygen it provided…not so on the journey out of the belly, no oxygen to speak of, Gaara must be good at holding his breath :)
Jutsu corner:
Chidori – means Thousand Birds: This jutsu is Kakashi's sole original technique, originally formed for the use of assassination. The user, gathers such a large concentration of chakra in the had, that it becomes visible. Pushing the limits of the body, the user charges forward, the chakra amount growing, as does the incredible speed. The chakra becomes so powerful, that it becomes similar to a blade, and is able to cut through near anything. The attack creates a constant 'chi' noise, sounding like a thousand birds advancing towards you. The jutsu gained its name from this sound. This jutsu gained the nickname 'Lightning Edge' or, Raikiri - When Kakashi cut a bolt of lightning in half using it.
Kage bunshin no Jutsu – means Shadow Clone Skill: A forbidden jutsu, that creates clones - which are not just plain illusions (like the normal bunshin no jutsu). Each clone is an exact replica of Naruto, capable of attacking. A direct hit causes the clone to disappear.
Spell of Fake Sleep: Puts the user into a false state of sleep. Allows Shukaku to take complete control of Gaara's Body.
Kuchiyose no Jutsu- means Summoning Skill: Using a contract, seal, and the users blood, allows the user to summon an animal. The type of the animal is determined by the contract used, and the blood is the 'signature'(Which can be on a scroll, tattoo, etc).
Fuuton Renkuudan-means Embedded Steroid Blanks: A type of power up move. Shukaku uses it to blast a huge amount of air from his mouth.
Suiton:Teppoudama No Jutsu – means Water Style Liquid Bullet: A Suiton technique where the user gathers a large amount of water in their mouth and then shoots it out into a spherical projectiles.
Original jutsu corner:
Sukai Rippuku-means sky rage- requires demonic chakra, user mixes demonic and wind chakra together then sends it out, separates into smaller flickering flames, once launched the demonic chakra pierces threw chakra based armor allowing the wind to hit tender flesh underneath, requires complete stillness and concentration as the wielder must dictate where the flames go, uses a great amount of chakra
Rippuku toku -means rage shield-requires demonic chakra, user mixes demonic and wind chakra together and warps it around themselves, the demonic chakra fends off most chakra based attacks and allows the user to slip throw chakra charged surfaces with ease, the wind chakra provides oxygen when necessary and propels the user threw the shields, requires less chakra then Sukai Rippuku, but still uses more then the ordinary shinobi can safely provide.
Both Sukai and toku are part of what I'm calling the Rippuku sets I have as of yet to decide if there is more to it then these two (almost positive there is)
To my beta Ataraninja: This is my review. (of doom!) Lol, I like the end comment about flames being given to Gamabunta for use. Please write the next chapter, I really want to see what happens. Oh, and I think someone had said it was a raccoon dog since you were wondering about Shukaku. I think you should make more jutsus for the Rippuku sets. I never could think of any really cool jutsus on my own, but those are cool. Well, this is the last chapter for tonight. Srry, I'm too sleepy to read anymore.
HNN: 'nodes head' Hai he's a Japanese raccoon dog…look above for decriptions :) more commenly called a tanuki
To my other beta Blue Bunny2:
