A red headed Renard woman walked briskly through the streets of Orario with a golden-haired human trailing behind her.

"U-um, Kushina? I'm sure that we'll find more somewhere else if we try." The blonde suggested as the red head started to emit and angry aura and both her tail and her hair, somehow, began to flail threating.

"are you suggesting I lower my standards? Dear?" she fumed as she turned revealing the barest of a baby bump starting to form on her stomach. Minato immediately shrunk under her gaze. You see Minato had just come back from the dungeon with a rather large haul. However, due to her pregnancy Kushina was forbidden to enter the dungeon until after the birth. She of course was none to happy about this and thus demanded ramen everyday as compensation.

Unfortunately, her favorite ramen shop was closed for renovation and in her current state she was quick to anger. Minato just sighed as she stormed towards their Familia's base as he looked around then as they passed an alley way he saw it. The vendor of Kushina's store had set up a temporary stand. Smiling he went to tell Kushina, but his voice failed him as he saw the giant fox aura practically glaring at him as Kushina walked the opposite direction. Shivering in slight fear he came up with a different plan.

"Illusion, two but one. Split thine power. Split thin soul. Twin of spirit I call. Shadow Clone." He mumbled as a from his shadow appeared a second copy of him in a small flush of smoke. Minato then flashed away as Kushina caught it and turned but only saw Minato's clone which smiled nervously. Shaking her head not dwelling on it she continued to march.

Minato on the other hand was hiding up on the roof top as the oppressive aura that Kushina was emitting faded away and he peeked over the edge not spotting her and sighed as he continued to his target. Flashing down on the ground he went towards the stand.

As Kushina marched Minato clone in tow, the crowds gave her a wide berth and parted around her. However, one robed woman came up to her with no fear or even a hint of worry. Kushina glared but the woman simply adjusted her hood with a smirk revealing a beautiful flawless face, amethyst eyes and silver hair that seemed to curl around and frame her face. Kushina's glare melted into a smile.

"Oh, Freya so nice to see you!" the red head called out as most of the civilians around them froze in shock at the revelation as just who was under that hood. Freya herself looked annoyed but was powerless as Kushina all but scooped her up and twirled her around. Freya for the most part just sighed and let it happen seeing as she understood why the woman was acting the way she was.

"Yes Kushina, a pleasure to see you as well. Now put me down." She greeted then ordered as the red headed chuckled and set the beauty goddess down. After brushing herself off Freya joined the Renard as they walked together the Minato clone all but forgotten.

"So, what has you so upset?" Freya asked.

"what make you think that?" the grumpy tone coming back as the red aura returned ever so slightly.

"call it an educated guess." Was the goddesses simple reply as Kushina simple pouted. The goddess then turned her attention down as she tilted her head to better view the baby bump forming on her. She smiled gently, though nobody would know she had always wanted a child of her own. Sure she had children in her Familia that would give life and limb for her, it wasn't the same. She wanted a being she could truly call hers, something she could hold, and caress and watch grow.

But it was impossible. A goddess could not bear children nor could a god. To her it had always been one of the greatest curses of immortality.

"you wanna touch it?" Freya was brought out of her thoughts when Kushina caught her staring. The goddess of beauty blushed though quickly hid it.

"certainly not, it would be unbecoming." She muttered and Kushina just grinned and grabbed the goddess's hands and forced them on her stomach and everything went white for Freya.

She suddenly found herself in a black space and in front of her a bright white light that began to slowly expand out. As the light expanded she could make out the faintest of shadows walked towards her. As it approached it began to separate until she could see seven people in front of her. Two of the shadow people walked forward and the shadows seemed to melt off their forms.

She saw a man with wild blonde hair and bright blue sapphire eyes and the most adorable whisker marks on his face. He had golden fox ears and a tail, and a wide grin set on his face. Then there was the person on his right who he held close to him. Freya nearly shed tears at what she saw.

It was her.

She was dressed in a long toga like robe with he hair let loose over her shoulders as it was kept together at the bottom with simple black band. But that wasn't what nearly brought her to tears. It was the very large bulge in her stomach. The obvious sign of pregnancy and the man had his left arm on top of her stomach with her own hand over his.

This was impossible, it couldn't be real and yet somewhere in her soul something was screaming at her that it was. That this was what awaited her, and as quickly as the image appeared she found herself back in the street Kushina grinning at her and for a moment Freya saw the man from her vision and she looked down at Kushina's baby bump and her eyes widened.

Taking her hands back she backed away from Kushina.

"I-I'm sorry but I must be off." She said and hastily left passing Minato who had already switched came back and dispelled his clone.

"Is she alright?" he asked walking up to his wife hands behind his back.

"I think so, more importantly, where did you go?" she asked as Minato chuckled nervously, he should've known he could sneak away from his wife that easily. He then pulled the take out box from behind his back and Kushina's eyes widened. "I knew I kept you around for a reason!" Kushina all but cheered as she took the ramen with kiss.

"yes, lucky me." And Minato meant that

The wagon driver had the horses draw the wagon across the rocky terrain carefully as Naruto sat beside him looking down on his map.

"Sir, I don't mean to pry. But we are veering quite off course." He said as Naruto nodded.

"I know, it's that caravan we ran into it wasn't right, you saw the victims, right?" the driver nodded as Ino poked her head into the front to listen to Naruto, even though she had already heard his theory.

"very tragic." The driver stated.

"of course, but something was off. They were dressed in rather poor clothing it was worn and faded from constant usage. While that itself isn't strange it was the wagon which was odd. It was difficult to tell due the damage the monsters dished out but the wagon was of very high quality. And practically brand new." The driver nodded.

"okay but I still don't understand your suspicion."

"its because of the fact that the wagon was undoubtedly very expensive with gold and silver joints and carvings. Based on how the victims were dressed in and what they had on their person we can safely guess that it wasn't there wagon."

"So, you think it was stolen?" the driver asked, and Naruto shook his head.
"No, I think it was taken for an escape. The supplies on the wagon were of food and water only. No spices or fabrics nothing of real value and the food wasn't the best quality and quite a bit of it was damaged from what I could tell before the monster attack. The wagon held some scuff marks and burns along rear and the wheels themselves. With all that, while it is just a hunch, I think those guys took the wagon to escape something."

"But what?" and Naruto folded the Map and placed it in his satchel bag.

"we're going to find out." He said as the wagon continued forward.

After about two hours they found a well-worn path and Naruto could make out the barest indents from were the caravan wagon had gone off road. Directing the driver to the left they followed the path for about thirty more minutes. It wasn't long before they began to see smoke rising into the sky and Naruto stood as he saw a village in ruins with smoldering houses and a fine layer of ash peppering the surrounding area and trees with grey flecks.

"what in the name of the gods happened here." The driver asked in slight horror as he slowed the horses to a stop.

"I don't know." Naruto answered as he hopped off the wagon Ino following him.

"Naruto?" Ino asked as he looked over the village.

"you stay here." He said pointing to the driver who was more than happy to oblige. "Ino me and you are going to go down there and look for survivors and try to figure out what happened." Ino nodded as the two ran towards the village. Once there they split up to cover more ground and Naruto went about examine the houses and the surrounding ground. Wiping away some of the ash from the ground he unveiled the dried mud caked earth below. He saw footprints dozens of them showing signs of panic with how clustered they are and the spaced between the strides so it was a good guess that they were running.

However, the fact that the mud kept the prints forms and even dried showed that this fire was happening during some form of storm meaning that it must been one hell of a blaze if it was able to dry mud in rain. He then went to inspect the houses though they were mostly damaged from fire there was one house that caught his attention. It was burnt like the rest, but it did posses some strange damage to it.

For one thing, one side of the house looked as if something extremely large had rammed right into it creating a trench in the ground and debris. However, he could also tell from the indentions in the wreckage that whatever plowed into the house jumped from it as well.

"Naruto!" Ino called out bringing the blonde out of his musing and he ran over to where he heard the blonde call him. Thanks to his nose it didn't take long to find her as she was currently clearing wreckage from a fallen house. Acting quickly, he began to help her lift wooden beams and other debris from the house.

"what is it?" he asked while lifting a large piece of stone.

"There's a girl in there I just heard her." She claimed moving another piece of wood and it revealed a tanned feminine arm under the wood. However, the rest of the debris was to heavy for either of them to lift even together, something was pinning it down.

"okay stand back, I got this." Naruto said as Ino did as he said. Taking a deep breath Naruto closed his eyes and blue flames began to flicker to life around his form.

"Wrath of Inari" he spoke and in a swirl of fox fire his form disappeared and in a flash of azure light standing in front of Ino was an enormous two-story tall fox made of pure Fox-fire and held crimson red eyes. Behind the fox nine tails swished back and for as the fox let out a low growl and walked forwards. Taking its flame like jaws it gripped the debris and with a single pull ripped the wood and stone from the ground and flung it away. The wreckage landed a few paces away with a loud crash as wood chips and stones went flying from the impact.

The dust created from the action cleared and Naruto returned to his Human form as he went forward to inspect the girl they just saved. She had deep tanned skin and snow-white hair. He forms was covered in scraped and bruises but remarkably was left unburnt and the damage she had sustained was also surprisingly minor with all things considered.

With Ino's help they rolled her over as gently as they could, and her hair fell away revealing pointed ears. She was a Dark elf; a little thing Naruto would ask about later. Her face was covered in soot and ash but even then, Naruto could tell she was extremely beautiful. Ino caught him staring a little too long at her face and cleared her throat. Naruto chuckled nervously as he placed his fox ear onto her chest, much to Ino's displeasure and jealousy. He let out a sight of relief once he caught the rhythmic thumping of her heart, though it was weaker than he would've liked. Brining his satchel around he flipped it open and brought out two vials of healing potions out.

Giving one to Ino they began to apply it to the girls cuts and scraps and they began to mend themselves. "It's amazing that she survived that." Ino said and Naruto nodded.

"More like a bonafide miracle. The house must of fell in such a way that it cocooned around her." Despite the situation Ino laughed.

"And here I thought you had all the luck in the world." This earned a snort and chuckle from Naruto as the girl they were tending groaned.

"Hey, can you hear me?" Naruto asked as the she turned her eyes slowly and painfully fluttering open.

"Who are you?" she asked her voice hoarse as Naruto helped her sit up and she began hissing in slight pain.

"we're hear to help." He assured her as Ino placed a hand on the base of her neck.

"Okay now tell me if you feel any pain." She said and began to run her fingers down the girls back applying slight pressure to every segment receiving no signs of pain.

"looks like your spine is okay, that's good." Ino said and began to examine her neck bending it and massaging it. "Necks good." She continues this process for the girl's whole body and came up with nothing.

"Alright, your going to be sore but alive." Ino said handing her water canteen to the girl as she greedily chugged it down.

"What's your name?" Naruto asked as he helped her to her feet.

"I-It's Ryuzetsu." She told them as she struggled to walk, and Naruto began to support her.

"right, Ryuzetsu we have a wagon just a little bit from the village you can rest there, but first can you tell me what happened here?" Naruto asked as they walked slowly through the ruins.

"Muku, He went missing a few weeks ago just after his father started talking to this really strange doctor." She said taking another swig from Ino's Canteen and handing it back, she then leaned back to Naruto as they continued to walk. Ino for her part knew that she needed help to walk but was still irritated anyway.

"He's been sick a really long time you see, but the doctor said he could help him. Once they left they never came back. We assumed the worst and Muku's father fell into despair. Then he came back, but it wasn't him. He seemed normal at first, but I could tell something was wrong. He was twitching and convulsing in an odd way. I tried to warn Mui but he was so happy his son was back that he ran for him." Ryuzetsu then shivered. "it happened so fast, once second Mui went to embrace his son the next he was cut in half and Muku seemed to explode. There was fire everywhere, pouring out of his skin like water and the nearby houses were quickly set ablaze. It was a massacre, and the more Muku killed the more grotesque he got. His arms began to change and became covered in fur and he sprouted broken wings. His hands were replaced with blades. He tore through here like a Fire storm." She recalled as Naruto took another look around and could make out what appeared to be sword marks on some of the wood.

"Ryuzetsu, where are the bodies" Ino asked, if this Muku did change and go on a rampage then there should be more bodies. At this moment the dark elf nearly vomited at the memory.

"He… He ate them. Those he couldn't finish he dragged to the woods."

"The woods?" Naruto asked and at that moment the ground began to vibrate ever so slightly. Naruto's eyes widened as he took the Ryuzetsu into his arms and bolted into one of the houses that sustained the least amount of damage. Ino followed quickly and they ducked under a window.

Soon the vibration became so violent that even the girls could feel it and with a stampede of thunder dozens of deer like monsters began to charge through the village out of the surrounding forests. It was a heard of Swordstags that trampled through the ruined city. Setting Ryuzetsu down he peered over the window sill as the Swordstags continued their stampede. He could feel his hand being clutched tightly by Ryuzetsu as a loud scream like roar pierced the air. Then a bulky form shot out and talked one of the Swordstags to the ground causing it to cry out in pain.

The creature wasted no time raising a bladed hand and quickly slicing the monsters head off. It exploded into smoke and the bulky creature growled in frustration as it seemed to stomp on the ground frustrated that the corpse disappeared. Looking closed the Beast was covered in dark brown fur some of it lathered in dry blood. Some patches of grey skin was visible mainly on the arms and chest area but even that seemed scaled in a way. The creature had long folded arms almost like a how a gorilla would walk on its knuckles but instead the creature was keeping its bladed hands off the ground to retain sharpness. Its torso was oddly shaped with a notable hunch on its back and two broken looking wings with tattered membranes. Its legs appeared to be human except it had taken on canine characteristics with its heel being stretched back from the balls of the feet and the big toe riding up the space like a toe claw. The creature had a tail, but it was small and hairless and seemed half formed.

Overall it was how Ryuzetsu described it, Grotesque.

The beast then lifted up its head revealing an alarmingly human shaped head from the back and began sniffing the air. Ducking down before it could spot him Naruto looked at the girls as Ino already had her Knife drawn.

"What's the plan" She asked as Naruto looked around seeing no exit besides the one they came from.

"I'll distract it, you get Ryuzetsu to the wagon and hightail it out of here I'll catch up later." Ino had a look of concern but nodded.

"Wait, you can't it'll kill you!" Ryuzetsu quietly exclaimed as Naruto smirked.

"Trust me, I can do it. I'm the golden fox after all. Ino will keep you safe. I'll take care of the dirty part." Naruto said squeezing her hand reassuringly. "Now go!" he said as he jumped through the window and raised his hands. The beast took notice of the Blonde and roared revealing its face that seemed stuck between monster and human.

"Fox Fire!" He yelled shooting six streams of fox fire that all converged onto the beast eliciting a roar of pain from it. Ino took this chance and place Ryuzetsu on her back and charged out of the House and towards the Forest they came from.

"Wait! We can't leave him!" Ryuzetsu yelled as she tried to lean off of Ino but the Blonde just picked up her pace forcing the dark elf to hold tighter. It was here that Ryuzetsu saw Ino with clenched teeth furrowed brows and the slight rim of tears as she ran. This was extremely difficult for her. Everything she had was screaming at her to go back and stand with the man she loved even if she believed in him. Ryuzetsu recognized this and shut her mouth.

Naruto saw them leave but so did the Beast as it went to chase them, but Naruto cut that thought with a swift Kick to the side sending the beast into a fallen house. The creature growled as its chest began to glow a bright orange and It opened its mouth wider than what was normal for a human revealing a tube-like protrusion from its throat. That protrusion then shot a torrent of Orange flames towards Naruto who quickly held up his hands which glowed with blue energy.

"Element of Kitsune! Aqua" He commanded as the energy took on the form of a fox made of water as it shot forward meeting the flames and holding them back resulting in an explosion of steam. Using the steam as cover Naruto dashed towards the top of the building he was hiding in grabbing four Kunai's from his pouch. He was forced to Jump as a torrent of flames incinerated the house he was standing on.

"Right well let's take care of that mouth shall we." He said tossing a kunai into the steam were the fire originated and hearing a fleshy squelch and a roar of pain as the Beast came tumbling out of the steam as it tried to bite the Kunai lodged into its shoulder. Taking his next Kunai he tossed it and it hit the beasts opposite shoulder eliciting another scream of pain from the beast. Taking this chance he tossed the third Kunai into the creatures open mouth and it impaled the fleshy protrusion with a sickening squelch.

The Beast went to grab its throat but it had no hands so it could only nudge its throat with the nubs of its wrists. Naruto in this span of time finally came to a skidding halt on the ground and readied his last Kunai.

"Element of Kitsune, Bolt" He said as a fox made of golden lightning appeared in front of him before it was absorbed into his Kunai. Throwing the last Kunai, he willed the lightning energy to expel from the blade and as it approached the creature it let of three bolts hitting the three Kunai's lodged into the Beast electrocuting it as it gurgled in pain.

"Fox fire!" He called out shooting six bolts of fox fire that collided with the creature resulting in a large domed explosion of azure fire and golden sparks of electricity. He waited as the last of the flames flickered out and the smoke cleared revealing the charred creature laying face down on the ground.

'well that was… easy.' Naruto thought. It did make a little sense since this town probably didn't have any adventurers or soldiers there probably wasn't anyone that could really fight it. Turning he made to leave until the sound of Metal clanging against the ground was heard.

He whipped around just in time to duck limbo style as a sickle blade went sailing over him. Falling to his back he curled his legs in, hands on the ground and whipped his body up kicking the beast in the chest and sending it flying into some debris away from him.

He resumed his battle-ready stance as the beast roared and exploded out of the wreckage pile. Naruto then saw the streams of steam rising from the wounds as they began to heal alarmingly quickly.

"well shit." He deadpanned as he charged the monster who met his charge with its own lumber. Ducking under a swing from its blade hand Naruto spun and swept the leg of the beast causing it to fall before palm striking its spine resulting in an audible crack as it went flying into another wreckage pile.

The creature roared in pain, but Naruto could see the spine repairing itself under the creature's skin. He then held up his hand gripping his right wrist with his left hand as blue spiraling energy began to form into a ball over his palm. The energy ball was able to grow to about the size of Naruto's Head as the beast charged him again.

He then proceeded to jump over the beast and gripped onto one of its odd wings and drove the ball in between the shoulder blades and held it there for a moment.

"Rasengan!" He yelled as the ball suddenly brightened and intensified in its spirals as Naruto let go of both his spell and the beast's wing sending both spiraling into the ground creating an impressive sized trench. Naruto landed on his feet as the beast's painfully crawled out of the trench its back torn and shredded with bits of spine and ribs visible from the wound, but just like the others it began to heal. Not giving it a chance Naruto held his hand forward as blue flames hovered over his palm.

"Fox Fire!" He casted a single shot of fire as it impacted the beast's back wound with an explosion of blue flames. When the fire and smoke cleared the beast's entire back was blown off showing a charred and bleeding open wound with all of its internal bones and organs out for the world to see.

Then Naruto saw it, the creature's heart, while still slightly human in appearance and red, it had jagged black crystals jutting out of the organ. The Crystals seemed to pulse much like a Dungeon monsters but this one seemed to grow as steam began to rise from the beast's wounds again.

"Oh, you have got to be fucking me!" He yelled as he charged forward determined to end this beast's life. As he charged the crystals in the beast's heart glowed as the wings on the back healed quicker then the rest and morphed into black tendrils. They shot out as Naruto went to roll but one of the tendrils sliced his side sending a jolt of pain through his body and something immediately felt off as the cut went numb.

'Poison.' His Abnormal Resistance ability should've blocked it, this poison must've been extremely strong if it punched through that.

"Element of Kitsune, Tempest!" He casted as a fox made of green colored wind appeared in front of him before bursting in a mini cyclone pushing the tendrils away and sending Naruto skidding back. Once he was a safe distance away he moved his coat and lifted his shirt. The cut had already began to foam and blacken but his own regenerating ability kicked in and fought the infection.

Back peddling from the tendrils as they whipped around the beast as it continued to heal albeit at a much slower pace. Reaching into his pouch he pulled out a vial of purple colored liquid and poured it on his cut as the darkness on his skin began to recede.

"Miach, you are the best." He praised as the wound began to close fully with the help of the antidote.

Looking back up he saw the tendril were still thrashing wildly around the creature as its back wound was almost fifty percent healed though Naruto could still barley see the heart. The beast began to twitch as it regained feeling in its body.

"right I have had just about enough of this." He said slapping his hands together resulting in a pulse of energy and the flicker of fox fire to appear around his hands and form. Then a large complex magic circle appeared underneath him. In each layer of the circle flickered with blue fire as he closed his eyes. He waited until the Beast let loose a roar as it began to rise even though its wound was not fully healed.

"Shut up. AZURE TOWER!" He yelled out as he slammed his hands down onto the ground seeming to make his magic circle pulse and veins of blue power stretched towards the beast collecting under him.

They eventually reached a point as a stream of blue flaming energy shot from under the creature piercing its chest and it continued to expand. As it did it tore up the ground and made the surrounding area shake as the blue tower of flames pierced the very sky itself forcing the clouds to part in a circle from the pressure and the heat as it continued to grow. It reached a point where the entire village was consumed in Azure Fox Fire and Ino who had already reached the wagon and retreated away from the battle could feel the heat from her position.

He held the spell for a few moments longer before he stopped the flow of energy canceling the spell as the flames roared for a few seconds longer and then sputtered with a few coughs and puffs of blue fire. Rising from his crouched position he looked at the large crater he had created and saw no sign of the Monster he was battling. That was until he caught sight of the crystal shining in the sun. approaching it he saw that it was black in color with a dim red energy at its center. It was clustered and easily fit into his palm. But as he held it he suddenly felt very angry as his eyes flashed crimson and a growl echoed in his head.

Whatever this thing was, his inner demon definitely didn't like it. Placing the crystal into his pouch he took off towards the direction he saw Ino flee. It didn't take him very long to reach her as he saw she was tending to Ryuzetsu and the Wagon driver Nervously looked around as if he expected a monster to pop out at any moment.

"Naruto! Are you okay?" Ino said rushing up to him, he nodded.

"yeah, a bit surprising but I took care of it." he said reaching into his pouch to retrieve the crystal the monster had dropped.

"Muku?" He heard Ryuzetsu ask as he held the crystal suppressing the anger it brought him.

"He's gone." He told her as she looked down.

"You put him to rest and avenged my village. I'll take my anger out the bastard that did this." She growled out at the end as Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked towards Ino as she smirked.

"She got her second wind it seems." She answered his silent question "what is that." She said voicing her own question as Naruto held the crystal up.

"It was growing in his heart, I'm guessing that this was what caused him to change." He said handing it to Ino but as soon as the Crystal touched her skin it sparked with red electric energy and shocked her. In surprise she dropped the crystal.

"Ino! Are you okay?" Naruto said taking her hand causing her to blush.

"Yeah the damn thing shocked me." She said as he released her hand and she sucked on the finger that was shocked the worst. Looking down at the pulsating crystal he bent down and tenderly poked at it, but nothing happened. He then scooped it up and rolled it around his hand not feeling anything besides its slightly warm surface.

"Weird." He said as Ino Huffed and went to the wagon.

"So, what's the plan now?" she asked as he followed her onto the wagon and climbed in sitting down with Ryuzetsu on his left Ino on his left as he examined the crystal.

"What do you mean?" Ryuzetsu asked as she looked at her two saviors.

"Well we were on a mission, this was detour." Ino explained as Naruto nodded.

"We'll finish the mission, it'd be dumb to turn back now since were already over half way there. we'll continue until nightfall set up camp and then make the last stretch and find these ruins. Sound good?" he asked as Ino smiled and mock saluted.

"Yes Sir!" this caused him to laugh and even Ryuzetsu cracked a smile.

A hooded figure walked in the depths of the large crater just recently made in the ground as a shifty Chienthrope looked around nervously.

"It seems you were correct, Yuttar." The hooded figure addressed the now named Chienthrope as he allowed the barest of smiles to cross his face at the rare praise.

"He is growing far stronger than what I ever could've imagined!" He said in an almost blissful tone though it sounded wrong to hear.

"But master, your experiment." He said as the hooded figure waved the concern off.

"No consequence, I knew from the moment the crystal began to form in the subject's heart that he was lost to the monster within. He however did serve as a nice testing ground for dear Naruto. How did you know they were heading this way?" the hooded figure had not planned this confrontation but upon the news that the blonde Renard was heading this way he made sure that he would make his way towards this village. It was fairly easy to lead those Bugbear's into those fleeing villagers.

"I was able to learn that Lady Freya issued a quest anonymously requesting him to inspect some ruins."

"are the Ruins of any significance?" the hooded figure asked and Yuttar shook his head.

"I checked my sources, the ruins are bare, with nothing of note. Perhaps she just wanted to get him out of the city?" he offered but the hooded figure sighed.

"it matters not, go return to Orario. It would pose to great a risk of discovery if you were to pursue him further in the open like this." He ordered and the chienthrope disappeared into the forest.

The hooded figure took one last look at the crater and began to chuckle. The chuckle evolved into a cackle then into a full blow laugh of madness.

"Marvelous! Just Marvelous!" he screamed out his laugh echoing across the empty space that was once a village.

_SCENE_

Here It is number 5, lot of Naruto action here and the introduction of Ryuzetsu. let me know what you think of the fight and the monster. I played around with the idea of making Yuttar Kabuto but I didn't want to crowd the story with to many Naruto Characters. Also I would like to address that I can tell when the same person votes for the same girl more than two times with PM's and Review due to my Gmail getting messages from the same source seeing as the sight bunches up messages of similar subjects when they are sent from the same source. At least for me it does. So for that reason I am rescinding the votes added for Tayuya Last time except for the two she has and the extra two legitimate votes she had received for the reviews. With that said here is the poll.

Freya 32

Kurama 20

Ryuu 17

Ryuzetsu 14

Tiona 12

Hinata 9

Chloe 7

Tayuya 4

Shion 1

Yes, Shion has been added to the choices, this is because she was request and is receiving only one vote because of that no more.

Now for the Status sheet I decided to shake it up and let you guys let me know the next character you would like to see for the status sheet, seeing as I already got the core characters in already.

Until next time this has been you Average, ordinary, everyday Fallenangel.
