Chapter 9: Protecting the Leaf Village
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Team Seven continue their hunt for Black Xetis and Heartless by heading for the next area of the Leaf Forest, but during their search, the group see Heartless that look like ninjas and samurais.
"Which monsters are these?" Naruto asked.
"Those are Heartless." Ky answered, taking out his Keyblade.
"If they're our enemy, then let's fight them." Blaze said.
The Ninja Heartless dash slash at the group, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade while followed by Blizzard while Ekena whacks with her staff followed by magic bolts while Max uses Cyclone. Samurai Heartless slash with their katanas, but Tails shoots shots from his blaster while Blaze shoots fireballs, but Ninja Heartless disappear and throw shurikens. Naruto summons two clones of himself and they work together to perform a roundhouse kick while Sasuke slashes with his kunai followed by a powerful kick while Sakura throws explosive kunais. The Ninja Heartless slash with her swords while Samurai Heartless multi slash with their katanas, but Kakashi uses Water Dragon Jutsu, but Samurai Heartless charge with their katanas, but Ky slide dashes and then spin slashes with his Keyblade, destroying the Samurai Heartless and Ninja Heartless.
"Those guys are out." Ky said.
"There are probably more around and the other teams will need your help, Ky." Kakashi said.
"We'll find them and give them a hand." Ky said.
"I should be able to help out by determining their location." Tails said.
"How?" Naruto asked.
"I created this techno map for Blaze and I to get out of here." Tails answered, taking his techno map.
"How can that help?" Sakura asked.
"Just leave this to me." Tails said, as he determines the location with his techno map. "Aha! I got one! It's right after the area where we met." Tails said.
"Is that how it works?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah and I'll explain this later. Everyone else is fighting hard against these Heartless and Black Xetis." Tails said.
"We should hurry." Blaze said.
"You guys are right. Lead the way, Tails." Ky said.
"Hold on, Ky. This for what you're doing for us. This should help you." Kakashi said, giving Ky and Elena Thunder magic.
"Thank you, Kakashi." Elena said.
"Okay. I'll lead you guys to where a team is located." Tails said.
"You guys coming along?" Ky asked.
"I suppose we should also help our comrades out. Remember to work together." Kakashi said.
"Got it!" Naruto said.
"Yes, sir." Sakura said.
"Hn." Sasuke said.
"Let's hurry." Max said.
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Team Seven leave the area they're in and they head for the next location on Tails' techno map, still much to Team Seven's confusion, but Tails explains a little how it works and they search the forest for the team that needs help against the Heartless and Black Xetis with Tails still in the lead and as they keep going, Tails' techno map starts to go off.
"My techno map's going off. We're getting close." Tails said.
"Okay. Here we go." Ky said.
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Team Seven arrive at the next area of the Leaf Forest and they find four more people.
One is a boy with messy brown hair black eyes that have slit-like pupils, pronounced canine teeth, nails that can become claws, red fang like tattoos on both cheeks, and wearing a grey hooded shirt with black furred cuffs, black pants, and the Leaf headband around his forehead.
With the first boy is a white furred small dog with dark brown ears and a dark brown nose.
The other is another boy with brown hair, wearing clothing that's covering almost everything except his eyes that are covered with sunglasses, and the Leaf headband around his forehead.
The third person is a girl with short dark blue hair, lavender pupil less eyes, wearing a cream colored hooded jacket with a fire symbol on the upper right and left sleeves and has fur around the cuffs, navy blue pants, and the Leaf headband around her neck like a choker.
The fourth and last person is a woman with long black hair, red eyes, wearing a red mesh armor blouse showing only the right sleeves, the Leaf headband around her forehead, and her hands and upper thighs are wrapped in bandages.
"You guys the next team?" Ky asked.
"So you're the boy Lord Hokage told us about." The woman said.
"That's him? He doesn't even look like a ninja!" The first boy said.
"Kiba, show some respect. If what Lord Hokage told us about this boy knowing these creatures are true, then he and his friends need to help us with this situation." The woman said.
"Besides, Ky's a better fighter than you can ever be, Dog boy." Naruto said.
"Shuddup!" Kiba snapped.
"Make me!" Naruto snapped back.
"Enough, Kiba." The second boy said in a monotone voice.
"N-Naruto i-is h-here to h-help us?" The girl asked while stuttering.
"Anyway, we're in fact here to help you find any Black Xetis and Heartless around this area." Ky said.
"Excellent. I'm Kurenai Yuhi, leader of Team Eight and this is my team, Kiba Inuzuka, his dog partner, Akamaru, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuga." Kurenai introduced herself and Team Eight.
"Okay, Kurenai, let's go." Elena said.
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Team Seven, and Team Eight search the area for any Heartless or Black Xetis, but just then, Werewolf Black Xetis appear.
"U-Um, which a-are t-these?" Hinata asked.
"Black Xetis." Ky answered.
"They don't know their place." Blaze said.
"So those are the Black Xetis..." Kurenai said.
"Heh! Big deal! They don't scare me!" Kiba said and Akamaru barks.
"Don't get too cocky, Kiba." Shino said.
"Yeah. They're dangerous. Just remember Ky's here to help us." Sakura said.
"They're coming!" Max said.
"Get ready!" Ky said.
The Werewolf Black Xetis attack with their claws, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by casting Thunder while Elena throws magic bombs, but the Werewolf Black Xetis bite at the group. Max bashes with his shield while Tails fires lasers while Blaze attacks with her claws followed by a flame kick, but the Werewolf Black Xetis take out bones and attack with the bones. Naruto uses Shadow Clone Jutsu and they strike while Sasuke uses Fireball Jutsu while Sakura slashes with her kunai, but Werewolf Black Xetis attack with their claws, but Kiba and Akamaru charge at them in whirlwinds while Shino unleashes bugs at the Black Xetis and crush them while Hinata palm strikes. The Werewolf Black Xetis get into berserk mode and attack in rage, but Kurenai uses Genjutsu, stunning them, allowing Kakashi to use Chidori, but Werewolf Black Xetis keep attacking, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by a slash dash and destroys the Black Xetis.
"Woohoo! That was an awesome beatdown!" Kiba said and Akamaru barks.
"You do realize it's not over yet." Blaze said.
"There could be more around here." Elena said.
"You could be right. Hinata, check to see if there are anymore enemies around here." Kurenai said.
"O-Okay. Byakugan!" Hinata said, activating her Byakugan and searches around. "T-There are s-some e-evil e-energy around here." Hinata said.
"That must be Black Xeti or Heartless. C'mon." Ky said, as they head for the next area.
The group find Ninja Heartless creating havoc.
"Those are Heartless." Elena said.
"We have to get rid of them." Tails said.
"Prepare yourselves." Kakashi said.
The Ninja Heartless attack with their swords, but Ky counters with his Keyblade followed by Fire while Elena casts Thunder, but ninja Heartless disappear and then throw shurikens. Max uses Shield Boomerang while Tails tail swipes while Blaze spin flame attacks, but the Ninja Heartless dash slash, but Naruto slashes with his kunai followed by a clone attack while Sasuke delivers punches followed by a powerful roundhouse kick while Sakura throws paper bombs. Ninja Heartless disappear and then slash with their swords, but Kiba and Akamaru attack with their combined combat while Shino throws a sphere of insects while Hinata attacks with her Gentle Fists, but Ninja Heartless throw multiple shurikens. Kakashi uses Water Dragon Jutsu while Kurenai uses Genjutsu: Haze, but the Ninja Heartless keep attacking, but Ky throws his Keyblade while Elena shoots magic bolts, destroying the Ninja Heartless.
"That should be it." Ky said, but just then, something is behind Hinata.
"Look out!" Naruto said, as he destroys a Ninja Heartless.
"T-Thank you, N-Naruto for s-saving me." Hinata said, but two Ninja Heartless attack the two, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade, destroying the two Ninja Heartless.
"Good job. More should be around." Blaze said.
"Another team is gonna need our help now." Tails said.
"I'm sure Asuma and his team will need your help, Ky." Kurenai said.
"Tails, can you locate the next team?" Elena asked.
"Hold on." Tails said, as he determines the location. "Okay. We should head this way." Tails said.
"Okay. Let's find the next team and help them out." Ky said.
"Kiba, Hinata, help Tails locate Team Asuma." Kurenai said.
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Team Seven, and Team Eight start to head for the next area of the Leaf Forest with Tails' techno map, Hinata's Byakugan, and Kiba's sense of smell to find the next team that will need help against the Heartless and Black Xetis and as they keep going, Tails' techno map starts going off while Hinata spots something while Kiba gets a scent.
"We're almost there." Tails said.
"Yeah. I know that too." Kiba said.
"W-We're nearing the next l-location." Hinata said.
"Great. C'mon." Ky said, as they keep going.
The group finally arrive at the other area of the forest and they find four more people.
One is a man with black hair, brown eyes, wearing the dark green sleeveless vest with a black outfit under it, the Leaf headband around his forehead, and has a cigarette in his mouth.
The other is a boy with black hair tied in a spiky ponytail, wearing a green lined mesh shirt with a grey jacket with green edges and circle and line on the sleeves and back over the mesh shirt, brown pants, the Leaf headband around his left arm, and loop earrings and he has a bored expression.
The other is another boy with a robust body, spiky brown hair, swirls on his cheeks, wearing a short sleeved haori over a white shirt, black shorts, a long white scarf around his neck, his Leaf headband is in a style that allows his hair to stick out two sides, and earrings, and his legs and arms are wrapped in bandages.
The last person is a girl with light blonde hair with a big bang covering her right eye and tied to a long ponytail, wearing a violet outfit, white arm warmers, earrings, and the Leaf headband around her waist.
"Hi. I know you guys are the other team." Ky said.
"Nice to meet you, kid. I'm Asuma and this is Team Ten, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka." Asuma introduced himself and his team.
"This is the boy who is gonna help us? He's...so...CUTE!" The girl named Ino said.
"What?!" Elena asked shocked.
"You can keep Sasuke, Sakura. I think I'll be having this boy." Ino said.
"Excuse me?! NO!" Elena yelled.
"You're not jealous, are you Elena?" Naruto asked.
"Of course not!" Elena answered.
"Who're you? His girlfriend?" Ino asked.
"Elena's NOT my girlfriend." Ky said.
"Then I can..." Ino was cut off by Elena.
"Out of the question!" Elena yelled.
"Anyway, you guys are gonna help us, right?" Choji asked.
"Yeah. My friends and I are gonna help you take care of the Black Xetis and Heartless in this area." Ky said.
"Great. The sooner we do this, the sooner we can get outta here. This mission's starting to be a drag." The boy named Shikamaru said.
"Shikamaru, be nice! This boy's gonna help us!" Ino scolded.
"Just stay out of Ky's way." Elena warned.
"Why? I thought you're not his girlfriend." Ino said.
"Can we just focus? There are Black Xetis and Heartless and we have to get rid of them." Tails said.
"Tails is right. Let's find them and stop them." Max said.
"Okay. Ky, since you know about these Heartless and Black Xetis, you show how we deal with them." Asuma said.
"Got it." Ky said.
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Team Seven, Team Eight, and Team Ten search the next area and just then, Bat Black Xetis appear.
"Black Xetis again." Ky said, taking out his Keyblade.
"Those are the Black Xetis?" Choji asked.
"You know what to do." Blaze said.
"Yep. Let's do this thing!" Naruto said.
The Bat Black Xetis fly around the group and swipe with their wings, but Ky slashes with his Keyblade followed by Blizzard while Elena casts Thunder, but the Bat Black Xetis keep flying and air dive. Max uses Shield Missile while Tails shoots four shots from his blaster while Blaze unleashes a spiral fire, but the Bat Black Xetis unleash sonic waves, but Naruto summons one clone and they attack with a big shuriken while Sasuke delivers punches followed by a roundhouse kick while Sakura slashes with her kunai, but Bat Black Xetis fly around again and air kick.

Kakashi uses Fireball Jutsu while Kurenai uses Genjutsu while Asuma slashes with his chakra blades, but Bat Black Xeti unleashes another sonic wave, but Ky throws his Keyblade and destroys it.
"That's more of those Black Xetis down, but we're gonna need to see if there are more around here." Ky said.
"Are you serious?" Shikamaru asked bored.
"Hey! At least he knows what he's doing, Shikamaru!" Ino said.
"Let's go check again. We should be almost done." Tails said.
"Hopefully." Max said.
"Let's go see and then we'll inform Lord Hiruzen." Ky said, as they head for the next area of the forest.
(Forest of Trees)
As Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Team Seven, Team Eight, and Team Ten keep searching for any more Black Xetis or Heartless, trees start to come to life and attack the group, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade.
"What the heck?! Trees comin' to life?!" Naruto asked.
"Is this the Black Xetis' doing?" Shino asked.
"Don't know, but we have to fight them off." Elena said.
The trees attack, but Ky and Elena cast Fire while Max uses Shield Boomerang, but the trees attack with their branches, but Tails throws bombs while Blaze uses a spin fire claw. The trees throws leaves, but Naruto slashes with his kunai followed by a clone attack while Sasuke uses Fireball Jutsu while Sakura throws an explosive kunai, but the trees attack with their branches again, but Hinata attacks with her Gentle Fists while Kiba and Akamaru attack with their combined combat while Shino uses a bug swipe, but the trees unleash a storm of leaves. Shikamaru uses Shadow Possession Jutsu, allowing Choji to to use Human Boulder while Ino throws flower bombs, but the trees unleash roots from the ground, but Kurenai uses Genjutsu: Haze allowing Kakashi to use Chidori while Asuma uses Burning Ash, but the trees continue to attack, but Ky throws his Keyblade at the trees while Elena throws magic bombs.
"This is getting annoying." Ky said and just then, one of the trees attack, but Ky casts Fire to defeat them. "Hope that's over." Ky said.
"Impressive, Keybearer." A voice said and the group see Grim Reaper.
"Did you make those trees come to life?" Elena asked.
"Of course I have. Why did you think I left while you were fighting against the Sinister Sisters? I knew you were on your little Heartless and Black Xeti hunt and I knew you would check this area, so I brought these trees to life." Grim Reaper explained.
"Yeah well, your plan failed." Ky said.
"Is that what you think? I have also created a trap to keep you out of our way." Grim Reaper said, as he slams his scythe to the ground and causes vines to appear under Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, and Blaze and the vines capture them all and are now trapped.
"Ky! Let them go!" Naruto demanded.
"Foolish mortals." Grim Reaper said, as he commands the trees to unleash wind to blow the teams away from the area.
"You're a creep! You'll make you pay for that!" Ky yelled.
"Good luck, foolish boy. Those vines cannot be cut. Not even your Keyblade can break the vines so easily. Now then, if you will excuse me, I have a Keyhole to find and I believe it's somewhere close..." Grim Reaper said, as he disappears.
"Crap! They're gonna find the Keyhole! When if it's in the village?!" Ky said.
"We have to get back and get to that Keyhole before Grim Reaper does." Max said.
"But how can we get out of these vines? They can't be cut and Ky's Keyblade is useless against them." Elena said.
"So what do we do?" Blaze asked.
"I dunno. I wish someone was here." Ky said.
"Chaos SPEAR!" A voice yelled and just then, small light spears come flying at the vines, destroying them.
Ky falls down from the now destroyed vines and he lands on the ground feet first and he sees Elena and Max on the ground as well.
"You two okay?" Ky asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Elena answered.
"So am I." Max said.
"But where are Tails and Blaze?" Ky asked.
"We're over here." Tails said, as he flies down while carrying Blaze with him.
"That was close. If that enemy was trying to kill us, then that failed." Blaze said.
"What was that? Who threw those things to destroy the vines?" Max asked.
"I did." A voice said and the group see a black hedgehog with red streaks on his spikes, arms, and legs, red eyes, wearing white gloves with one ring around each wrist, and grey, and black, and red hover shoes.
"Shadow!" Tails said.
"You know him?" Elena asked.
"Shadow's the ultimate life form created by Professor Gerald Robotnik fifty-years ago. He was created to try and find a cure for the professor's granddaughter, Maria Robotnik, who had an illness, but the government viewed Shadow as a threat to humanity and tried to get rid of him, but Maria sent Shadow to our world before she was shot down and Shadow was in a cold slumber until our enemy, Dr. Eggman, discovered and released him to try and use him for world domination, but Shadow acts on his own." Tails explained.
"Dang. That's quite a story. Sorry, man." Ky said.
"Hmph. I really don't need your sympathy. The past is behind me now." Shadow said.
"You must have gotten sent here too after what happened." Tails said.
"So you also know of those monsters?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah. Black Xetis and Heartless." Ky said.
"We're getting rid of them, but now we're separated from the teams because of Grim Reaper." Elena said.
"Where are the ninja teams?" Ky asked.
"We should try to find them." Blaze said.
"Think you can try to locate them with your techno map, Tails?" Elena asked.
"Let me determine their location." Tails said, as he activates his techno map. "Okay, I can see two people. They're close by." Tails said.
"Let's start finding them." Ky said, but just then, he sees four more people.
One is a man with black hair that has a bowl cut style, wearing the dark green sleeveless vest with a green outfit under the vest, and orange leg protectors.
The other person is a boy with the same black bowl cut hair, wearing a dark green outfit, bandages on bot arms, orange leg protectors, and the Leaf headband around his waist.
The other person is a boy who looks almost like Hinata but with long brown hair, lavender pupil less eyes, wearing a collared shirt, wrappings on one side of his body, and the Leaf headband around his forehead.
The last person is a girl with brown hair tied to two short buns, wearing a Chinese themed clothing, and the Leaf headband around her forehead.
"That won't be necessary. My team and I will try to locate the teams." The man said.
"Who're you guys? Another ninja team?" Ky asked.
"I am the Might Gai and these are Rock Lee, Neji Hyuga, and Tenten. We're also assigned to assist you in fighting these unyouthful monsters in the forest." Gai said.
"Unyouthful?" Ky asked.
"Look, don't worry. We'll find the teams and we'll keep on..." Max was cut off by Black Xetis appear surrounding the group.
"Them again..." Ky said, as he takes out his Keyblade.
"Oh, my gosh! That is the MOST interesting weapon I'm seeing!" Tenten said excited.
"Focus on the fight, Tenten." Neji said.
"You may lead the fight." Lee said.
"Just be careful." Ky said.
The Black Xetis attack the group, but Ky and Elena cast Blizzard while Max uses Cyclone, but the Black Xetis fight back, but Shadow spin dashes while Tails throws bombs while Blaze fire drills. The Black Xetis keep striking back, but Gai delivers punches followed by a nunchuku strike while Lee also delivers punches followed by his own nunchuku strikes and the delivers a hurricane kick while Neji attacks with his Gentle Fists while Tenten throws multiple kunais and then a spiked ball, but more Black Xetis appear and attack again.
Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by an edge slash while Elena throws magic bombs while Max uses Shield Missile, but the Black Xetis attack with their claws, but Tails shoots three shots while Blaze shoots fireballs while Shadow multi spin kicks and then delivers a powerful punch. The Black Xetis attack with their chains, but Gai delivers an air straight kick while Lee multi punches followed by an upper kick while Neji rotates around and unleashes multi palm strikes while Tenten attacks with a staff followed by an iron club followed by an iron ball and the group defeat all of the Black Xetis.
"Scum..." Shadow said.
"That was a terrific battle! I even broke a sweat!" Gai said.
"Now, let's..." Elena was cut off by a shaking sound.
"What happened?" Blaze asked and the group see smoke.
"Oh, no! The village is under attack again!" Ky said.
"Those unyouthful monsters must be responsible." Lee said.
"We gotta go back and help!" Ky said.
"What can you do? You're not even a Shinobi." Neji said.
"Did you not hear what the Hokage said, Neji?! This kid knows about those creatures and we're supposed to help him! He even defeated them with that awesome weapon!" Tenten scolded.
"If we don't hurry, then the village is gonna go down!" Elena said.
"That is why my team and I will find the others. You go to the village and fend off those monsters. We will meet with you and assist you as soon as we can." Gai said.
"I guess there's no choice... Okay. Find the others and we'll help the village!" Ky said.
"That's the spirit! Team Gai, let's GO!" Gai said.
"We will help you when we can after we find the others." Lee said.
"Good luck." Tenten said.
"I doubt you'll even survive." Neji said and Team Gai leave.
"Let's hurry! Shadow, you wanna help?" Ky asked.
"Whatever is going on, I guess I'll help." Shadow said.
"C'mon!" Elena said and the group starts to move.
Meanwhile, Sasuke is somewhere else in the Leaf Forest after being blown away by Grim Reaper along with the other teams and he doesn't see Naruto or Sakura anywhere, but as he starts to move, he hears something and he looks around.
"Who's there?!" Sasuke demanded with a kunai in his hand.
"Don't worry. I'm not here to attack you. I'm just here to have a deal." A voice said.
"Show yourself!" Sasuke demanded and he sees what looks like a small turtle creature with red hair tied to a small ponytail, spikes on his shell, tiny claws, wearing one black band on each wrist, and a bib with fangs on it around his neck. "Who're you?" Sasuke asked.
"Hey. I get to ask the questions here. I'm aware that you want revenge, right?" The turtle creature asked.
"How do you know that?" Sasuke asked.
"Are you after revenge or not?" The turtle creature asked again.
"Why is that your business?" Sasuke asked.
"Because my boss has a deal for you." The turtle creature answered.
"Your boss? What deal?" Sasuke asked.
"We know that you want revenge against the killer of your clan. So the boss decided that you might have the strength to actually achieve that. If you agree to join my boss, we'll help you gain all the power you need to kill your killer." The turtle creature said.
"And if I refuse?" Sasuke asked.
"Why would you wanna do that? You said you want to kill whoever killed your clan. We're offering you a good opportunity to achieve it." The turtle creature said.
"What power do you have for me?" Sasuke asked.
"My boss will give it to you, but you'll have to do some things for him first." The turtle creature said.
"Where is your boss?" Sasuke asked.
"Follow me." The turtle creature said, as he creates a dark portal and goes through it and Sasuke follows him.
Meanwhile, Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Shadow hurry through the forest to return to the village while fighting off Heartless in their way and after defeating the Heartless, the group keep hurrying through the forest until they reach the gate and they enter the Leaf Village, where they see Black Xetis attacking the village again and the villagers run in panic while the Leaf Shinobis try to fight them off.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" Ky said.
"We need to get rid of them and fast!" Elena said.
"This might be fun." Shadow said and the group attack the Black Xetis.
The Black Xetis attack the group but Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by throwing his Keyblade while Elena shoots magic bolts while Max uses Shield Missile, but the Black Xetis attack back. Tails throw bombs while Blaze throws fireballs while Shadow uses Chaos Spear, but the Black Xetis keep fighting back, but Ky casts Thunder while Elena casts Fire while Max uses Shield Boomerang while Tails shoots three shots from his blaster while Blaze spin flame attacks while Shadow multi punches and then flip kicks and the group defeat the Black Xetis and they keep going through the village to fight off more Black Xetis.
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Shadow confront more Black Xetis and attack, but the Black Xetis fight back with their abilities, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade while Elena whacks with her staff while Max bashes with his shield while Tails tail swipes while Blaze fire swipes while Shadow multi punches, but the Black Xetis keep fighting back, but just then, Gai, Rock Lee, Neji, and Tenten appear.
"What're you guys doing here? I thought you were finding the other teams." Ky said.
"We have! Now everyone is fighting as hard as they can! Let us assist you!" Gai said.
"Sounds good to me!" Ky said.

"There's no end yet." Ky said and more Black Xetis appear.
"We'll fend them off!" Tenten said.
"We will not let these unyouthful monsters destroy this village. You must move on, Ky!" Gai said.
"I don't like leaving the fighting to anyone, but I need to find the Keyhole anyway." Ky said.
"Be careful." Elena said.
"Leave this to us!" Lee said.
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Shadow continue to go through the village, but they confront more Black Xetis.
"Outta our way!" Ky said.
"We're gonna help you!" A voice said and the group see Asuma, Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino appear.
"How're you guys holding up after what happened?" Max asked.
"Don't worry about that. Let's take them out." Ino said.
The Black Xetis attack the group, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by spin slashing while Elena casts Fire while Max uses Shield Boomerang, but the Black Xetis attack with their chains. Tails shoots four shots while Blaze fire drills while Shadow multi punches and then flip kicks, but the Black Xetis keep fighting back, but Asuma attacks with his chakra blades while Shikamaru uses Shadow Possession Jutsu, allowing Choji to use Human Boulder. The Black Xetis shoots black beams, but Ino uses Mind Transfer Jutsu to take over one of them and attacks the other Black Xetis, but the Black Xetis attack with their claws, but Ky throws his Keyblade while Asuma uses Burning Ash. The Black Xetis are about to attack again, but Ky and Elena cast Blizzard while Shikamaru throws kunai bombs while Ino throws flower bombs while Choji punches with a big fist and they defeat the Black Xetis.
"At this rate, the entire village will be destroyed if we don't do something." Tails said.
"Which is why that you guys'll have to keep going and find out who is really responsible." Asuma said.
"Think you guys can handle them without us?" Ky asked.
"Trust us. We'll be okay." Choji said.
"Do what you gotta do and please stay alive for me, Ky." Ino said.
"This is just a drag. Just hurry and stop whoever's causing this already." Shikamaru said.
"Be careful." Blaze said.
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Shadow keep moving through the village, but more Black Xetis confront them.
"UGH! Leave us alone!" Ky said, but just then Kurenai appears and unleashes her Genjutsu at the Black Xetis.
"Don't worry about these Black Xetis. Leave this to us." Kurenai said.
"But..." Ky was cut off by Kiba.
"You're helping us out and we're gonna protect the village too! Just go do what ya need to do, Ky!" Kiba said and Akamaru barks in agreement.
"What if..." Ky was cut off by Shino.
"Still dealing with these Black Xetis as you have something important to do will lead to the fall of this village. Go now and we'll handle this." Shino said.
"B-Besides, w-we can't go b-back when the village is in trouble." Hinata said.
"I hate this, but...okay. Just be careful against them." Ky said.
"We'll be fine, Ky. Hurry." Kurenai said.
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Shadow hurry through the village, but just then, they hear a loud thud and then see smoke coming from a building.
"That's the Hokage mansion!" Max said.
"Crap! Not there too!" Ky said.
The group hurry to the Hokage mansion while fighting off Black Xetis in their way and they continue on to the Hokage mansion as fast as they can and then they finally arrive at the mansion and enter the office to search for Hiruzen, but another loud thud is heard.
"It's coming from the roof." Blaze said.
"Whatever is going on, we need to get there." Shadow said.
"C'mon!" Ky said.
(Hokage Mansion Roof)
The group arrive at the rooftop of the mansion and there, they see Hiruzen fighting against what looks like Tortus, but Tortus is gaining the upper hand and Hiruzen is injured during the fight.
"C'mon, ya old fart! I know you're lying! Tell me where that Keyhole is!" Tortus demanded, as he delivers a punch at Hiruzen.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Hiruzen said.
"Stop playing stupid!" Tortus yelled, as he kicks Hiruzen. "Look at yourself! You're supposed to be the Hokage and you're WEAK! I'm in no mood to play games with you anymore, old fart! Talk! Where is that Keyhole?!" Tortus demanded.
"There is no such thing. It's not here." Hiruzen said.
"That's it! I'm gonna eat you!" Tortus said, as he unleashes one of his tongues from his palms.
"No you won't!" Ky said and Tortus turns to see the group.
"You leave Lord Hiruzen alone and get out of here, you masked freak!" Elena yelled.
"Well, well. If it isn't that punk Keybearer and the stupid girl. Looks like you got some new pets." Tortus said. "It's kinda disappointing really. I thought the Sinister Sisters and the Grim Reaper took care of you, but I guess I'm wrong." Tortus added.
"We're not telling you again! Leave now!" Tails demanded.
"Look at you being threats. That's so cute. I was gonna devour that old fart, but since you're here, I'm gonna settle my unfinished business." Tortus said.
"Funny. I was actually gonna beat you to a pulp this time." Ky said.
"It's on now, brat!" Tortus said, as he takes off his cloak, showing him being shirtless and then takes off his mask showing his face that only has one eye with a slit pupil, razor sharp teeth, and has red hair. "I wonder who I should eat first. So much to choose, so little time." Tortus said, as he sticks his tongue out like a snake and it's another black tongue with red stripes.
"Okay, that's creepy..." Ky said.
"I'm curious what he can do." Shadow said.
"Oh, you'll find out." Tortus said, as his slithering tongues appear from his palms while his palm eyes open.
"You think you can beat us? You can't beat us down!" Elena said.
"We'll make sure of that!" A voice said and Naruto appears.
"Naruto!" Ky said.
"I'm gonna help ya out!" Naruto said.
"Oh, more food. Good. The Sinister Sisters were a joke, but I'm a threat." Tortus said.
"Talking big won't do you any good." Blaze said.
"We also know about teamwork!" Tails said.
"We should watch ourselves. He can be very dangerous." Elena said.
"Got it! Let's beat this freak down!" Ky said.
"Here I come!" Tortus said, as he uses one of his hand's tongues to lash at the group.
(Boss Theme: Shrouding Dark Cloud)
The group dodge the tongue lash attack, but Tortus lashes another tongue attack, but Ky attempts to attack the tongue with his Keyblade, but Tortus counters with his other tongue from his mouth to get Ky. Tails shoots five shots to get Tortus and he gets knocked back, but Tortus recovers from the attack and tries to grab Tails with his hands' tongues, but Naruto slashes the tongues with his kunai and then summons a clone to attack with punches while Shadow throws Chaos Spears, but Tortus dodges and attacks in a snaky like manner by slithering and crawling and starts attacking Shadow and Naruto with snake like moves followed by a tongue whip. Shadow dodges each strike and strikes back with punches followed by a spin kick while Elena throws magic bombs while Blaze unleashes flame waves while Max uses Shield Missile, but Tortus bends his back backward and then delivers snaky like kicks and then lashes with his tongues, but Ky delivers an edge slash while Naruto summons two clones and they attack with kunais followed by a roundhouse kick, but Tortus crawls back from the group and then multi lashes with his tongue.
"Sheesh, this guy's a threat." Naruto said.
"Is that all you can do? I've seen better." Tortus said, as he attacks with his normal tongue, but Elena whacks with her staff.
"We can try to keep getting him as long as we don't get too careless." Elena said.
"Watch his movements and then strike." Blaze said.
Naruto attacks with his kunai followed by a clone attack while Blaze attacks with ballet like moves followed by a spinning fire attack, but Tortus twists his upper body around to dodge their attacks and starts attacking the two with his hands' tongues followed by a somersault kick, making him turn his back, giving Ky an opportunity to attack Tortus. Another eye with a slit pupil opens on Tortus' back and another mouth opens as well and lashes its tongue out to get Ky, who dodges and casts Fire, burning the tongue, but Tortus' back shoots what looks like a slim ball at Ky, but Max blocks with his shield and then uses Cyclone while Elena casts Thunder while Tails throws bombs, but Tortus back whips with his hands' tongues to try to knock them back. Naruto attacks with punches followed by another clone attack, but Tortus twists his body around to dodge him, but Shadow spin dashes and then delivers a spin kick while Blaze delivers a fire kick, knocking Tortus down. Tortus slithers away and then attacks with his mouth tongue, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade while Max bashes with his shield, but Tortus attacks by twisting his arms to get the ground followed by a snaky spin kick, but Naruto uses Demon Wind Shuriken, but Tortus bends his back backward again to dodge the shuriken attack, but Ky spin slashes and attacks Tortus, sending him back.
"Hahahahaha! Are any of you having fun yet?" Tortus asked.
"Not so far." Shadow answered.
"You're just toying with us!" Naruto said.
"I'll admit, you do have some fight in you, kid. I guess you are a threat after all." Tortus said.
"C'mon. Let's have more fun." Ky said.
"Your move, boy." Tortus said and Ky casts Blizzard while Elena casts Fire.
Tortus crawls to avoid Ky's and Elena's attacks and then spin whips with his tongues followed by a laser beam attack from his face eye, but Naruto summons three clones and they all strike while Blaze attacks with her claws followed by flame kicks followed by a fire drill. Tortus dodges and lashes at Blaze, but Tails throws bombs and then tail swipes, but Tortus gets on all fours and crawls at Tails to try and get him. Max bashes with his shield and then uses Shield Boomerang to knock Tortus back, allowing Ky to throw his Keyblade while Shadow throws multiple Chaos Spears, getting Tortus, who recovers from their attacks and opens another eye with a slit pupil on his chest while another mouth opens on his stomach, disgusting the group even more and Tortus' stomach tongue lashes at the group. Ky slashes with his Keyblade while Naruto slashes with his kunai while Elena whacks with her staff, but Tortus twists his upper body again and starts spinning while whipping with his hands' tongues to get the group, but Elena lifts Tortus, allowing Naruto and his clones to attack while Max uses Cyclone while Tails shoots four shots, but Tortus's face eye and chest eye shoot lasers at the group.
The group dodge, but Tortus uses his back eye to shoot a laser, but Shadow multi punches at Tortus followed by a spin kick, but Tortus slithers away and then crawls at Shadow to strike him with snaky moves, but Max bashes with his shield while Tails tail swipes while Naruto punches followed by kicks. Tortus grabs Naruto with his stomach tongue and starts throwing Naruto, but Ky slashes with his Keyblade to cut the tongue and frees Naruto, but Tortus' back tongue lashes at Ky, who dodges and Blaze shoots fireballs while Elena casts Thunder. Tortus attacks with his face tongue, but Max uses Shield Missile while Shadow spin dashes while Naruto throws kunais, but Tortus slithers away and then attacks with his snaky moves followed by another tongue lash from one of his hand tongues. but Tails shoots five shots while Blaze spin fire attacks while Shadow flip kicks. Tortus shoots lasers from his eyes, but Naruto and his clones deliver punches while Max uses Shield Missile while Elena casts Blizzard, but Tortus multi lashes with his tongues, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade and then slide dashes and delivers his final attack on Tortus, knocking him back.
"Impressive, kid. All of you. You're not bad." Tortus said, as he gets up with his upper body still bent, but he straightens himself. "You may have won the fight, but this is only the beginning. I think you're not strong enough to fight the darkness." Tortus said.
"We'll see about that." Ky replied.
"I'll let you go, but the next time we meet, I'll devour you all." Tortus said, as he disappears.
"Lord Hiruzen, are you okay?" Ky asked.
"Yes. I thank you all for what you have done for the Leaf Village." Hiruzen said.
"I don't think the Black Xetis are here anymore." Tails said and Kakashi arrives.
"Good. You got rid of the Black Xetis. Nice job." Kakashi said.
"Kakashi sensei, did you find Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"No. He's not in the forest anymore." Kakashi answered.
"Maybe the Heartless or the Black Xetis taken him for some reason. We can find him." Ky said.
"Thanks, Ky." Naruto said.
"For your efforts, Ky, I shall reveal the location of the Keyhole as promised." Hiruzen said.
"Great. Where is it?" Ky asked.
"Behold." Hiruzen said, as he performs hand signs and then performs a jutsu at the Hokage Monument and a Keyhole is now revealed. "The Keyhole is here. Seal it, Keybearer." Hiruzen said.
"Got it." Ky said, as he uses his Keyblade to seal the Keyhole, saving the Ninja World from the darkness.
"It is done." Hiruzen said.
"Yeah." Ky said.
Meanwhile, in the dark room, the villains watch the projection of the group in the Hidden Leaf Village.
"That brat has discovered one of the Keyholes. The Black Xetis failed to destroy that world." The female blue scaled reptile said.
"The boy is starting to become a problem indeed." The raven said.
"Fear not. It will take him more than ages to find the rest. He remains unaware of our plan." The red robed figure said.
"Yes. The Prince of Light and the pieces of the Light Crystal and the pieces of the Dark Gem. They still must be discovered in ordered to complete our goal for all the worlds." Zervik said and then he turns to Kaos. "Kaos, I believe you should have the pleasure of encountering Ky. I think you should go out and have some fun with him." Zervik said.
"About time, Master. I've been itchin' to bring pain to someone all day. I'll make Ky wish he was never born. This'll be interesting to see how his journey's making him so far since his world went bye-bye and after Nex double-crossed him." Kaos said.
"Win or lose, I should still study up on our new enemy." Zervik said.
Just then, the turtle creature from before appears.
"I'm back and I brought him like you asked. I also brought the Light Crystal piece." The turtle creature said, handing out a blue small shard and gives it to the red robed figure.
"Excellent. Bring the boy to me." The red robed figure said and Sasuke appears from the shadows. "Welcome, child. I have something for you if you are willing to do something for me first." The red robed figure said.
Meanwhile, at the Leaf Village, Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Shadow are at the village gate with the ninja teams.
"So you guys are gonna leave now?" Kakashi asked.
"Yeah. More people are gonna need our help." Ky answered.
"Are you guys gonna come back? It'd be awesome to see you guys again." Naruto said.
"Of course we're gonna meet again, Naruto. I'll also find Sasuke and bring him back. I promise." Ky said.
"Please do. Thanks for everything, Ky." Sakura said.
"You're pretty awesome for a non-ninja. Hope we see ya again." Kiba said and Akamaru barks in agreement.
"Good luck on your journey." Shino said.
"T-Thank you for h-helping us, K-Ky. P-Please come back again." Hinata said.
"It's a shame you have to go. At least you'll come back. I'm hoping for a date sometime." Ino said.
"Maybe when you get back, we can find somethin' to eat instead of dealing with any dangerous situation." Choji said.
"Try not to get yourself into trouble with those Black Xetis. They're already a drag." Shikamaru said.
"Please do return, Ky. I look forward to have a spar with you someday!" Lee said.
"Even for someone who is not a Shinobi, I suppose you aren't bad. Still, I think you're not strong enough to deal with whatever destiny you have." Neji said.
"When we meet again, you'd better tell me more about this Keyblade and show me how to wield one." Tenten said.
"It was great meeting you all. See ya guys next time and take care!" Ky said and the group leave the Leaf Village. "So, Tails, Blaze? You two wanna come along?" Ky asked.
"I'd like to come with you, Ky." Tails said.
"I suppose I can. I feel that we're gonna work well together." Blaze said.
"Shadow?" Ky asked.
"Normally, I don't work with others that often, but I guess this can be interesting." Shadow said.
"Then it's settled." Elena said.
"Okay. Let's go." Ky said, as they move through the forest until Ky uses his Keyblade to summon another portal. "Onward to a new world." Ky said.
"We're ready to go." Max said.
"C'mon." Elena said and the group enter the portal and they leave the Land of Ninja.
Wow. Just...wow. I did NOT expect this to be THIS long! What the hell? Oh, well. I hope this was enjoyable. This is actually getting fun to do. Next time, Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, and Shadow arrive at a new world and meet a new friend. Thank you all for reading. I shall see you all in the next chapter. Bye for now.
