Jutsus shall be rendered in Japanese or English depending on which they are. For example, I will not be saying Almighty Push, I will be saying Shinra Tensei, or Rasengan instead of Spiraling Sphere. However instead of Raiton: Gian I will be saying Lightning Style: False Darkness, I am now starting to consider going only Japanese or English with the jutsu. Please let me know which you would rather.

I do apologize for not posting these past two due dates. Between my mothers conference and my own illness I have not been able to post anything.
This will be the end of the Land of Snow arc, and will lead into the filler I will be posting. I also warn you I am partially sober and tend to lose my filter when I am not completely sober. I apologize for anything you deem crossing the line. I will be posting this chapter than he second not too long behind.
Final point, I will be starting school on the 14th of October and may have to make my posts every two weeks. It all depends on my classes, most on my schedule are considered sleeper courses for me but a few of the teachers, I am told, are difficult. I will announce if I have to make it dual weekly for posts though at this time it does not seem that way. I will keep you posted as I know more, also look forward to me answering some questions in these two fillers, one of which will lead into the next lot. You lot didn't think I forgot about her, did you? Till next time,

Naruto pulls himself over the railing of the platform. He sees two men with their backs to him and he moves silently to them. Simply pushing the two overboard it attracts the attention of a woman, she is about t scream but a hand over her mouth and a knife pushed into her larynx keep her from making a noise. Naruto pulled his knife from the womans boy and wipes the blood on her shirt before he swapped his grip to a reversed hand. Slowly creeping along the side of the airshi he saw an open door and peaking in he saw Koyuki, Nadare, and Doto talking. Koyuki seemed distressed so Naruto cret into the room and made his way along the wall, in the shadows, till he stood naught five feet away from Nadares back.
"How rude."
Naruto felt fire on his back and was flung forward and into the ground. Naruto tried to stand but Fubuki's boot pinned him by his throat, her knee in his chest and hands holding his own down.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, when a pretty woman holds you down you should appreciate it. After all, I am a Yuki ninja and we are the most beautiful in the world."
"Funny enough, I saw someone who looked just like you. She works in one of the whore houses." Naruto's head was cracked to the side as his nose bled from the blow he took to his face.
"Shut the fuck up you son of a whore!"
"Aw, did your mother kiss you with that mouth, or was she teaching you to take her clients. I bet they loved that mouth you have." Naruto smirked he was getting into her head, until he felt a fire burn in his stomach. He looked down and saw her pushing a kunai into his gut, he groaned as she dug it in slowly and twisted the blade.
"Not so uppity now, are you you bastard."
Naruto grit his teeth in pain and spat a glob of blood into her face but before she could stab him again Nadares hand caught her wrist.
"Now, now, Fubuki, let's use the experimental device on him."
"Oh, I like the sound of that, don't you Lord Doto?"
"Very well, just make it quick."
Nadare walked over to a wall of cabinets and opened on near the bottom on the left side. He pulled a device that looked similar to the armor the ninja were wearing and tossed it to Fubuki.
"Naruto! Naruto!"
Naruto looked over to Koyuki and struggled to try and get Fubuki off of him but his payment for that was the kunai to be twisted once again in his gut. Naruto felt Fubuki pull the knife from his gut and push the device onto his wound and twist it. He felt immeasurable pain and he yelled in agony, this felt like nothing he had felt before. Naruto began to black out.
"Nadare, take my niece and find the real crystal. I don't care how, rape her, torture her, whatever you need to. Just get the location."
"As you wish, my Lord."

It has been two hours since Naruto awoke in the dungeon. He had been hearing constant screams from Koyuki and he had to steel himself. He was sealed, his chakra and there was an electrocution seal on his cuffs. Naruto heard the screams stop and just sobbing echoed down the long hallway. Naruto heard footsteps and dragging noises and that's when he saw her, Koyuki was bleeding from holes punched into her arms and legs, he Kimono was half undone and she had burns across the right side of her face. Naruto strained against the cuffs suspending him in the air and he swung hard against them.
"You fucking bastards, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" Naruto struggled again as one of the guards walked right up to his cell. Naruto spat a globule of blood at the mans face and the guad made a single hand sign. Naruto spasmed as he was wracked with electricity, his yell of pain echoing throughout the dungeon.
"You should know boy, since hen we will get your female teammate we will do the same to her. A womans pussy will tighten around a mans cock in ways that will drive you insane if you drill a hole into her arm while you fuck her."
"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU IF YOU TRY TO TOUCH HER!"
The guard made another hand sign and Naruto convulsed again.
"I'd like to see you try."
Naruto watched the guard slip away and the hallways was engulfed in the sounds of Koyuki's sobbing. Naruto bit into his lip, if he could just make a bloo seal it would be unstable enough to break the chains. Naruto felt the blood flow down his lip, his neck, his body, and flow off of his moccasin and onto the ground.
"Don't worry Koyuki, I'll get us free from this cage." Naruto stretched his feet down and dug the tip of his moccasin into the ground. He slowly traced the seal he had from memory into the round using his blood and low and behold. With a loud explosion Naruto was tossed against the back wall the chains holding him broken by the blast. Naruto leaned back against the wall when he heard the guards running his way, he played dead.
"God damnit, what the hell happened!"
"I don't know sir, he was fine not even five minutes ago!"
"Well someone fucked up!"
Naruto heard the door open and two guards move in, he leapt forward. Naruto wrapped the chain attached to his cuffs around the younger of the twos throat. Naruto leapt up and drop kicked he older of the two dragging the younger guard with him. Naruto rolled to the ide and slammed his heel into the old man's throat collapsing his larynx. Naruto slid around and placed his feet on the shoulder of the younger man that had taunted him before.
"I told you, you'll die before I let you touch Sakura." Naruto jerked with his hands and pushed with his feet. A loud snap filled the air before Naruto unwrapped the chain from the younger males neck. He dug around on the two bodies and located a set of keys, it took him a minute but he found the key to his cuffs and unlocked them. With a loud thud the heavy iron uffs fell to the ground and Naruto began rubbing the area around his wrists. Naruto ran from his open cell and across the hall to the bleeding and broken Koyuki.
"Just give me one minute, I'll get you out." Naruto struggled to find the right key but when he did he unlocked the cell. Naruto knelt down next to Koyuki when he heard footsteps running down the hallway. Naruto leapt up to fight but it was Kakashi and Sakura.
"Naruto! Thank goodness, ya shit, running off without us was so stupid!" Sakura hugged Naruto tightly before turning to Koyuki, Sakra knelt next to Koyuki and began to treat her injuries.
"Naruto, what is that on your stomach?"
"I don't know Master, the enemy put it on me and I can not call upon chakra."
"We'll try to break it later, for now you need to come with me. Doto is mounting a stand with his ninja."

Shisui tells them to hurry on with the escape giving Koyuki to Sakura
Grabbing the ledge he kicks downward with his right foot a concentrated flame bursting from his foot to propel him upwards. Zuo landed in a roll and stood quickly on the ledge. Two guards were ready to shout but with two throws of his fists both men fell with blackened faces. Zuko slowly crept into the doorway and saw a large hall with a throne. One man with dark hair sat on a throne, the two Yuki ninja standing on either side of him. Zuko laid down on his stomach and slowly moved down the balcony towards the set of stairs.
"Sir, Koyuki and the boy have escaped."
"Good, that means she will have the real crystal."
"Sir?"
"Fubuki, I knew Kakashi had it all along. I had her tortured so she would lose her wit. Now she will bring the crystal to us. Fubuki, eliminate the children starting with the red brat. With the elimination of him the pink and black haired brats will lose themselves enough to make them trivial. Nadare, you will kill Kakashi this time and then bring Koyuki to me. Isn't that right son of the Fire Lord."
Zukos breath caught in his throat before he felt the knife at the back of his neck.
"Get up slowly or you will die."
Zuko stood up slowly hands raised in the air and walked down the stairs with the guard behind him. Arriving at the foot of the steps that led to the throne the guard kicked Zuko in the back of the legs forcing him to kneel.
"Now, son of the Fire Lord, where are the ninjas?"
"To be honest I only know where two are, Kakashi and Sakura went to find Naruto. I do not know where Sasuke is he split from the team after the train attack."
"Thank you for being honest, now, we have business to talk."
"I am afraid that is going to have to wait."
With a blur the man who spoke appeared behind the guard and killed the man in a movement so fast the mans body grasped at the head that no longer existed. As the body fell the ANBU with the Dragon mask stood behind Zuko and with a touch Zuko appeared on the other side of the room.
"Ah, an ANBU, Nadare, handle that trash."
"Lord Doto, I can't."
"Oh and why not?"
"That's not any ANBU Lord Doto, he is one of three people to ever exist with the SSS-rank in the Bounty Books. No one knows his real name but that he is the ANBU Commander of Konoha. Dragon, the only other people listed at this rank is Minato Namikaze and an unnamed man who can move through shadows. Dragon is by far the more dangerous of the three, the other two have abilities known extensively but Dragons teleportation has no tells, no sounds, nothing. He just appears. I am sorry Lord Doto, but if he is here, we're all dead."
Though they couldn't see it Shisui smiled behind his mask, if they knew his reputation that means they wouldn't be stupid enough to attack right? Shisui touched the front of his neck with two fingers to modulate his voice making it sound rediculously light.
"Good evening Lord Doto. I am only here as protection for Lord Zuko, if you do not harm him or force him to do anything I will not interfere."
"Understood Dragon."
Shisui vanished and appeard with Zuko and leaned down to whisper in his ear.
"Be prepared to move, Kakashi is almost here and something is wrong with Naruto and Koyuki. I will cover all of Team 7's escape, just make sure to keep the team protected. Without Naruto Team 7 will be less effective. You will be the primary in this upcoming escape."
"Understood Sir Anbu."
Hisui stood and was about to continue stalling Doto and his minions when the door to the far right of the throne burst open with a large explosion. Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto, and Koyuki being held on Kakashis back all landed ten meters from the thrones steps.
"Ah, there you all are. Oh, and Koyuki is here too, tell me, did my underlings treat you well? I told the not to."
Kakashi had to grip Koyukis legs hard to keep her in place as she fought to get off Kakashis back.
"Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, take Koyuki and go to Zuko and Dragon."
"But Master!"
"No buts Sakura, this is an order."
Naruto nodded and grabbed Koyuki pulling her to his back the three ninja ran towards Zuko and Dragon.
"Not so fast you snot nosed brats!"
Fubuki leapt forward but to her surprise and her death, Shisui had appeared in front of her and his arm pierced through her torso completely. Her armor did nothing to stop it and the next moment she was flung through the air at Nadare.
Shisui made a quick cutting movement with his hand and most of the loose blood flung from his arm and made a trail along the ground.
"Team 7, I am giving you charge of my mission. Protect Lord Zuko and Koyuki with your lives. Get to the docks and prepare the ship for launch."
"Yes sir." Sakura began to mov but in a massive flurry 20 Yuki ninja appeared behind Team 7 and once again Shisui appeared behind them and cleared a path that Team 7 and Zuko took.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So, a rematch, but you have back up."
"Lord Doto won't have to lift a hand for trash like you."
"You see, that's where you are wrong. You see, I was not that much stronger than the average new Jonin when we first fought and the second time I had to worry about my students. Now, I don't have to worry about anything, so I am sorry, but it is time to die."
Nadare didn't even have time to react, Kakashi appeared in front of him, headband raised and Sharingan exposed. Nadare tried to raise a kunai in time but Kakashi vanished in a swarm of flies. Blinded by the flies he didn't know it until he looked down, a white Tanto buried in his gut.
"This is the gap in our power, I am the Legacy of the White fang, I am the Sharingan bearer, I am the student of the Yondaime. I am Kakashi of the Red Fang." Kakashi tore his fathers tanto from Nadares gut and quickly made a nonchalant cutting motion removing Nadares head.
"Now Lord Doto, shall we?"
"Let's."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Shisui sighed, why did Kakashi get to take the heroes stance again. He ducked left kicked out right a snap could be heard.
"Nineteen."
Shisui followed through and pushed off with his hand performing a backflip, he made the Tiger hand sign and a sea of flames fled from his mask covering the floor of the throne room in a lake of fire.
"Two left."
Shisui saw the two on the wall and he vanished appearing next to the two and with a spin the two bodies fell into the lake of fire.
"Zero, now to go take care of the kids." Shisui vanished to go and catch up with the kids.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kakashi dodged another punch, tossing three shuriken that bounced off of the shield Kakashi smirked.
"I know the secret to the armor, you can't be protected anymore."
Doto started forming hand signs for his Snow Dragons but he wasn't quick enough three Kakashi's charged towards Doto Raikiris in all six hands. Doto dispelled one of the two but seized up from the lightning that flooded hi system from the Raiton: Kage Bunshin. The four Raikiris hit the shield and it vanished with a pop dispelling the two clones. Doto's eyes widened, where did Kakashi go! Doto looked up and there was Kakashi his tanto glowing a brilliant white.
"Hatake Secret Jutsu: White Fang!" Kakashi spun and flung the tanto toward Doto, the blade moving so fast it vanished as a large white hound took its place. Doto yelled as he tried to run but the hound slammed head first into Dotos body and with an explosion of crimson and flesh Doto was no more. Kakashi landed his hair being held down by the amount of blood that covered his head. He swept his hair back and grabbed his tanto now sheathed in what was left of the lower half of Dotos body.
"Now, to find a shower."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It had been two months since the battle at the castle and Team 7 were ready to get home and rest. Naruto saw the gates rising in the distance and he felt queasy, it had been so long, it was nearly April.
"Best birthday present ever." Sakura smiled as she literally began dashing towards the gats spurring everyone to begin a race to the gates. It was definitely a good birthday for Sakura.
