Neiji pushed himself to his feet. "I'm suprised that blow didn't knock you unconcious"said Kimimaro. "Damn he's strong. Attacking his chakra points are useless it seems as well"thought Neiji.
"All of your abilities are near useless. Only your Byukaguan can help you at all"said Kimimaro. Kimimaro shaped his finger like a gun, a bone shooting out, Neiji leaping up and trying to come down with a kick, Kimimaro taking a bone from his arm, blocking Neiji's kick and forcing him to jump back. "He must be able to regenrate his bones, making the number he can use infinite"thought Neiji.
"Just go away. I don't want to kill you"said Kimimaro. "Then why fight? Why do you serve that guy?"asked Neiji. "Because, he is the only one to acknowledge me"said Kimimaro. Neiji got an inquisitive look on his face. "I am from the Kaguya clan. Even though I was young, I was still considered dangerous, so I was locked away in a cage. My whole life I would sit there, eventualy let out when they wanted me to kill someone. Killing people gave me a purpose, so I did it for them. I couldn't change my fate, so I decided to embrace it"he said.
Neiji's eyes widened. "People can't change Sakura, the weak stay weak and the strong kill the weak, that's the flow of life"Neiji remembered saying to Sakura during their match.
"One day, we set out to attack the Village Hidden in the Mist. It was a disaster, we were aniahlated. I was the only survivor, so my purpose had been taken away, until I met Orochimaru. He took me in, made me a member of the Sound Four, now the Sound Five. I will fight for him to my death, that is why I fight, and that is why I will kill you if necessary"said Kimimaro.
Ukon came off of Sakon's body and the two began to attack again. Lee blocked Sakon's kick, Ukon going for a sweep but Leep jumped and kicked him away, Sakon going for a palm to the back but Lee pushed him aside and kicked him right into Ukon.
"I can't stay out"said Ukon going back into Sakon. Sakon stood himself up. "I'm beggining to become annoyed by you. I'll finish this now, Cursed Seal Level 2!"
"What!"gasped Lee. Sakon's skin became red, one side of his body becoming encased in black armor.
"Feel honoured I have to go this far!"said Sakon. "Has he really become stronger?"thought Lee. Sakon rushed forward, connecting with a fist to Lee's chest with the armor fist, Lee skidding back. "He's faster!"thought Lee. Sakon went for a kick from the side, Lee blocking it but the armor hurt, Sakon hitting with the other kick and knocking him back down.
"Too easy"said Sakon. Lee sprang up to his feet. "What the!"gasped Sakon. "Now, I am ready!"said Lee, charging forward. "Leaf Whirlwind!"
Lee missed, Sakon thrusting his rear leg towards him but Lee shot back, Sakon going for a punch with the non armored fist, Lee catching it. They both stood up, Sakon punching Lee across the face with the armed hand, pulling him into a knee, then trying to elbow him but Lee caught it, picking his leg up and kicking Sakon back but only a few inches.
Lee became slightly woozy. "Ha! You're mine!"said Sakon slashing at him but Lee vanished. "What the!"he gasped. Lee kicked him upwards, jumping up so he was directly below him. He unwinded his bandages, wrapping them around Sakon's body. "Primary Lotus!"
He drilled Sakon into the ground, jumping and skidding back. "Got him"said Lee. Sakon chuckled, beggining to stand. "How!"gasped Lee. "My armor, it heals me almost instantly. I'm not fully healed yet but enough to stand. However in a moment I'll be comepletely healed. You won't be able to keep me down"said Sakon.
Ten-ten and Kidomaru locked eyes. "I need to hit him. I can hit a target no matter the circumstance, I just need to get him still for just a small moment, then I can hit the killing blow"thought Ten-ten.
Kidomaru spit out a wad of web, Ten-ten swooping under the branch, holding it then landing on the branch below her, Kidomaru shooting another string, Ten-ten barely dodging and falling to the ground. "You're such a weak opponent"said Kidomaru. "Shut up"said Ten-ten standing. She held her side.
"I won't even need my 2nd curse seal"thought Kidomaru. Ten-ten held shurikens behind her back, throwing them quickly. Kidomaru sidestepped, Ten-ten throwing a kunai as he came, Kidomaro shooting another arrow out to block it. "You're becoming annoying"said Kidomaru. Kidomaru leaped onto the branch above him.
He spit out an odd string, creating a giant web above him. "What the!"gasped Ten-ten. "Now you die!"he said. A bunch of strings with spiders on the end came towards her, Ten-ten jumping back. "THere's too many of those things"she thought jumping up, taking out two scrolls. "What's this?"thought Kidomaru. "Twin Rising Dragons!"she called, a hord of weapons coming out. She fired them at the web, slicing through them, the spiders landing.
However she didn't see the arrow coming towards her until it was too late, slamming into the tree. She coughed up blood, falling a short distance to the ground. "He was ready to counter in case I could destroy his web. His strategy is flawless"thought Ten-ten. "You impressed me with that last move"said Kidomaru walking towards her. "I'm not done yet"she thought, throwing a kunai. "Give me a break"he said knocking it aside, not seeing the exploding tag on it it seemed, as it exploded at the side of him. "Now!"she though taking a kunai out, aiming for his heart and thrusting it, seeming to hit Kidomaru, however it turned out she had hit a log. "A replacement jutsu!"she gasped. She turned around, Kidomaru behind her. He shot out a web like substance, catching Ten-Ten. She flew into the tree, the web binding her tightly to the tree, her arms pinned to her sides. Ten-ten thrashed about but could not get free.
Ten-ten tried to reach for a weapon but Kidmomaru shot out another web, her hand sticking to the tree, he then did the same for the other.
"It's over, one shot to the throat is all it will take"said Kidomaru. Ten-ten closed her eyes, Kidomaru shooting an arrow towards her throat. However it was blown away. Ten-ten and Kidomaru stared in shock. Temari came riding down on her fan.
"You have to be kidding"said Kidomaru. "It's you!"said Ten-ten. "Yeah, the Kazekage sent us back to help"said Temari. "Sounds good"she said. Temari turned to Kidomaru. "Hey, aren't you gonna free me?"asked Ten-ten. "I perfer you like that for now, you'll just get in the way"said Temari. Ten-ten growled.
"Fine, you'll end up just like her in the end though"said Kidomaru.
Chouji was thrown back, in normal size, by Tayuya's three creatures. "I couldn't have had an easier battle"she thought. Suddenly she found herself unable to move. "What the!"she gasped. She looked down, Shikamaru's shadow stretching towards hers. "You!"she said. "Nice to see you too!"said Shikamaru. Tayuya snickered, Jirobo coming out to punch Shikamaru, however Chouji quickly enlarged himself and rolled at Jirobo, knocking him back. "Damn, I have to act quick"she thought.
"Cursed Seal level 2!"
Her skin became dark, her hair growing longer. "What's this now?"thought Shikamaru. She easily broke the shadow jutsu with pure physical strength. "Impossible!"gasped Shikamaru. "No matter how many times you use that jutsu, I can break out of it. You're dead"she said. She continued playing the flute, the creatures coming towards him. "Shadow possesion jutsu!"
He held them all in place. "Clever"thought Tayuya. "I can only hold them in place for a few minutes, I have to think of something"he thought. However Tayuya rushed towards him, slugging him across the face, Shikamaru falling down, his jutsu broken.
Chouji knocked Jirobo back again. "No more playing around, curse seal level 2!"
His skin became red, his muscles becoming bigger. He easily grabbed Chouji and tossed him away. "I was right, there's not much to these leaf genin at all"said Tayuya.
Neiji stepped back. "I can't keep fighting him like this, he has to have a weak point"thought Neiji. Kimimaro took out two more bones, thrusting them at Neiji. Neiji leaped over them, going for Kimimaro. "Fool!"thought Kimimaro, the bones coming back for Neiji. Neiji went for a palm, Kimimaro catching his hand. The bones were coming for Neiji, who smirked before ducking, which pulled Kimimaro down a bit, causing him to get hit in the chest with his own bones. He coughed up blood. "That's the weakness!"thought Neiji.
"Here we go, 8 trigram 128 palms, now!"he said.
He hit the palms quickly, all concentrated in the chest, then hit a whirlwind, sending Kimimaro flying back.
"I got careless"said Kimimaro, barely able to stand. "Give up, I know your weak point"said Neiji. "It won't be over so easily. Curse seal level 2!"
Kimimaro went through the most drastic change, turning into an enourmous dino like being with bone spikes on his back. "He can't be human!"thought Neiji.
