Tadam! I managed to write this pretty quick this time, considering my exams are still killing me (then again, I guess I have Shang to thank for this). At any point, the chapter is done and the end of the Wave Country battle is coming nearer.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed the previous chappie! It really means a lot. There weren't any questions for last time really (all that were asked will be answered in this one, so it's better not to spoil anything). And hints to Urusai will be uncovered in this one.

At the same time however I'm a bit depressed with the number of reviews I've been getting lately… please, cheer me up a bit and leave a comment this time? It'd be nice, since I have a terrible exam on Monday.

With that said, I believe the only thing left for me to do is to start the next chapter:

Chapter #18: Final Blow

Chapter Cover: Jun and Urusai are playing 'paper, rock, scissors' and Jun is crushing the blonde

"Something's not right…" Hekireki thought to himself as he observed the changes in his opponent. "It's… different then Uragiri-sama described it… it's almost as if… he wasn't using just his bloodline…"

Foam began to escape Urusai's mouth as his eyes became completely black. His body was shaking and his hair seemed to become darker then it was normally. The blonde raised his head and looked at the missing-nin, sending shivers down the former cloud-nin's spine.

In an instant Urusai jumped at Hekireki, held out his hand and to Jun's surprise, flames burst out from it. But they were not simple flames… they were black as night. "That's the same as from that time on the bridge…" the gennin thought, shaking a little. "And this time he didn't even perform any hand seals… how is this possible?"

Hekireki jumped into the air, thus avoiding the attack, and landed right behind the Leaf shinobi. "This is not good… I underestimated this…" and with that thought he went through some hand seals. "But now that I know he can perform it, all that's left is to capture him…"

Suddenly his placed his hands on the ground and called out: "Raiton: Dendou Shougekiha!" and in an instant electricity ran through the ground and hit the blonde hard, making him yell in pain and cough out blood.

Jun managed to avoid the attack by jumping onto a nearby roof. The young Hanayaka observed the ground as the electric wave slowly faded away. The moment it did so, his teammate collapsed to the ground.

"Earth conducts electricity…" reminded Hekireki with a smirk. "By sending the right among of it into the ground, it's only natural that it'll hit everything in a certain radius… the fact that the ground is wet due to the rain helps to speed this up too… I have no idea why your flame seemed different from a normal, Kodawari one, but it doesn't change the fact that you still can be taken down…" with that he walked over to the blonde, who was now unconsciously laying on the ground. "I didn't kill you however… it really is a pity, but Uragiri-sama wishes to have you alive…"

"Katon: Housenka!" he suddenly heard a voice and acting on instinct, the missing-nin jumped back, thus avoiding a fireball shower that came from above. A second later Jun landed right beside Urusai, giving the former cloud-nin a death glare.

"So, Hongen failed…" concluded Hekireki, his face not showing any emotions at all. "How troublesome, now I'll have to waste some energy to kill you… but at least I'll get to have a little more fun… you do seem like a bigger challenge then the blonde…"

"You don't know the half of it…" responded Jun as he went through some more hand seals: "Katon: Ryuu Kisoku no Jutsu!" and suddenly he breath out fire from his mouth, that headed straight at the missing-nin.

Hekireki jumped back, in order to avoid the attack, yet then his eyes widen as he was another Jun coming right at his back with a kunai ready. "Kage bushin?" the boy's eyes widen at the sight. "That brat… while I'm in mid-air, I cannot dodge!"

In an instant Jun's clone threw his knife right at Hekireki. The missing-nin acted immediately and reached with his hand to the ground. As his palm touched the surface, without wasting a second the former cloud-nin use it to switch directions, thus avoiding the incoming kunai, but just barely.

It turned out that he wasn't safe yet though as a call "Kawarimi!" was heard and before he noticed Jun appeared in the place of the knife he just avoided. The leaf-nin stabbed him with his own kunai, but luckily for the missing-nin, he missed the vital spot and ended striking his knife into the older boy's shoulder.

As Hekireki jumped away from the leaf-nin, he began forming a new set of hand seals, only to have it interrupt by a kick in the face. As he flew at the wall, he realized his mistake: "Right, there was still his bushin… this guys really is pretty good… fighting him will be pretty troublesome at this point…" and with that he flip, using his legs to land on the wall, without receiving damage. "You sure are an annoying fly…"

"Yeah, I get that a lot…" replied Jun as his clone appeared beside him and the moment it did so, both of them charged right at the missing-nin, who didn't moved an inch. Hekireki just lowered his head and seemed to start laughing.

As Jun and his clone got close to him, both attacking from different sides, the missing-nin raised his head, thus revealing his eyes began shining. In the next second electricity shoot from his body and hit both, incoming opponents.

The clone crushed against a nearby wall and disappeared in the cloud of white smoke, while Jun came to a sliding stop few meters away, with his skin burning him around his torso. "No hand seals too… what the hell?"

Hekireki was now standing right before him, his eyes still shining and what's more electricity was surrounding his entire body. It was different then earlier though… more furious. The missing-nin's smirk widen even more as he looked at his opponent.

"So this is the thing for which you killed your brother?" they both heard a voice and as they turned around, they saw Urusai slowly getting back to his feet. "The thing that caused you your life… the thing that you hated your brother so much for… the thing that killed him… and you use it so freely…" and with the last line he raised his head, revealing his anger. His eyes were not black anymore, nor this foam was coming out of his mouth, but it was still Urusai that Jun didn't know before.

"You really don't know when to give up…" sighed Hekireki, still smiling. "It'll be two on one from now on, it's seems… but, then again, with Raijuu's help, you might say that the number is even anyway… Hanayaka and Kodawari… this could be interesting… fighting the heirs of two, Konoha's strongest, fire using clans… well, not exactly heirs, but…"

"How come you know so much about me?" asked Urusai calmly. "And about Jun too?"

"I told you, I'm not a tourist information…" replied the missing-nin. "The only thing that's important is that I need you…" he announced, looking at the blonde and then turning to Jun: "You however can be disposed of… so, shall we start the fun?" he asked, raising up his hand that was covered in electricity and the next moment a thunder shoot right towards the sky from it. "It's been a while since I feed him… so I guess Raijuu is pretty hungry for blood right now…"

----------

"Gougi Rasengan!" yelled Naruto as he charged right at the missing-nin, holding the hand that was carrying the black, chakra orb out front. As it hit the white-haired man, he was send flying again and came to a sliding stop several meters away.

The blonde looked into the distance, not bothering to observe his opponent. "That feeling just now… it seemed like it's something with Urusai… was he able to activate his bloodline limit? But that shouldn't be possible… yet, back at the bridge… could it be that the seal, in stead of preventing his bloodline to activate… mutated it? Well, it seems it was just for a moment, but…"

Genko slowly began standing up, his body was shaking. He held his torso, that now was bleeding. The missing-nin looked at it only to see a large wound going across his torso. "How in the world… previously, when you hit me…"

"In this case, to create the Rasengan, I used my demon chakra…" Naruto interrupted him. "It's more destructive then normal and I can also use a bigger among of chakra, so it's only natural it causes greater damage… at this point even your healing abilities won't do you much, since with this among of damage, instant regeneration is impossible… this also gives me enough time to deliver a final blow to you…"

"It'd seem you really defeated me…" admitted Genko with a smile. "Even my demon chakra is of no use, since you're using that weird Shunshin thingy… one question though: even if you'll kill me… do you really suppose you'll save that brat? With my death, others will surely come… you think you can fight us all?"

"This is one thing we'll see…" replied the blonde calmly, as he began to form another Rasengan. "I've wasted enough time with you… I need to get to my students fast, so I'll be finishing this now… goodbye…" and with that he charged at the missing-nin, yet the next moment his eyes widen as he saw something with the corner of his eye.

"Naruto-sensei!" yelled Ayame, who just came out from around the corner.

Genko looked to his right and instantly smirked as he lunched his chakra hand with sharp claws at the girl. The kunoichi froze immediately, unable to move. "Ayame!" was all Naruto managed to yell.

Kakashi's daughter covered her face with her hands, awaiting the hit, but it never came. As she unwrapped her eyes, she saw Naruto standing right in front of her, with Genko's chakra hand buried into his body.

"That Shunshin of yours…" cursed the missing-nin with a smirk. "But then again, maybe this is even better… if you would try to protect the girl, she'd be the only one dead… now that you're so badly wounded, I'll just kill you and then rip her apart… my, my, how the tables have turned…"

The blonde jounin collapsed to his knees as Genko's hand withdraw. Blood was coming out from his left shoulder, torso and right leg. The young kunoichi immediately found herself near her teacher and instantly gotten pale at the sight. "Naruto-sensei!"

And this one is over. Hope you enjoyed it and that you'll leave me a review once you're done reading. The only thing left to do, before the goodbye is to give you the jutsu encyclopedia:

Raiton: Dendou Shougekiha (Thunder Element: Electric Shockwave) – technique used by Hekireki. To put it simply, the user must first gather chakra in his hands and then, with the use of right hand seals, release it in the form of electricity and thanks to that, anything it touches gets hit by electricity. In the fic, Hekireki placed his hands on the ground, thus releasing the current into it (type: ninjutsu; used by: Hekireki)

Gougi Rasengan (Great Rasengan) – a technique invented by Naruto. Basically it's a Rasengan formed from Kyuubi's chakra. The main differences between this one and a typical Rasengan is that it's more powerful, but also consumes more chakra (type: ninjutsu; used by: Uzumaki Naruto)

And with that this chapter really ends. Thanks a bunch for reading and until next time!
