Journey of a Ronin Ninja

Chapter 7

Let's cut the crap and get on with the chapter shall we?

BOOOM! The giant canons fired upon the Akechi main camp, and hit many troops that couldn't get out of the way of the impending shot. Limbs, heads, and blood soared high into the air, and fell back to the Earth littering the ground. Naruto and Nene launched off the ledge and landed in between a group of soldiers from both sides and ran right through the madness and jumped off a smaller ledge and landing on the Akechi grounds.

Nene took her blades and sliced her way through three started men and then jumped off to another group of soldiers that were starting to move towards her. She sliced two other the ten man group in the necks and then did a handstand while kicking her enemies in the face. Getting back on to her feet, Nene noticed a man coming in for the kill only to find one of her blades in his crotch and splitting him in two.

Naruto watched this in awe and fear; he knew she was a ninja but damn, was she a sadistic one! She must have been smiling earlier because of the blood she would get to spill. He could tell why she would act innocent around Hideyoshi and the others, they'd be afraid of her if she acted like this all the time.

Naruto followed her through the massacre she had laid out for the enemy, and waited for a chance to ask her a question about plans. He watched her move around and killing the enemy like she was a flowing waterfall, once she started an attack she didn't stop even if the other was dead, she kept going until she was ready to move to another set of moves to unleash on an enemy. While she was moving around, Naruto saw a rifle man aiming at her and was waiting for her to do her twirling handstand so she couldn't dodge the shot.

Naruto instantly took out a kunai and threw it so fast he couldn't even believe it, by the time the man had noticed Naruto behind Nene, he had a small knife deep within his skull. "Hey Nene!" Naruto hollered as she was still slaying man after man in front of her.

"What are you doing Naruto? You can leave my side you know, I don't have time to baby sit you right now!" she yelled after him.

"I was going to ask you which gate you were going to attack so I don't accidentally hit you with a kunai, but I didn't get a chance. And you should be glad that I was here, you almost got shot!" Naruto hollered as he stabbed a man through with both blades.

"I don't care which gate you go to first! And I don't need your help! I can fight on my own!" she said while tossing a man into a new platoon of enemies.

"Fine then, maybe next time I won't save you from being shot in the back!" Naruto huffed before jumping onto a small wooden rise and running towards the south-eastern gate.

"What does he mean by getting shot?" Nene said while loping a mans head off. She turned around to strike another peon, when she saw the rifle man with a kunai in his head. "Oh, so that's what he meant, guess I will have to repay him later then!" she said as she ran back to the blockade that had been recently set up in order to stop the Toyotomis' advance.

Naruto had jumped off towards the other gate while staying along the dark sides of the structure and killing only those who were in his way. Naruto knew that if Nene inflicted too much damage to the enemy troops, then Mitsuhide would have to recall some of his guard from the south-eastern gate and for that they would have to open the gates. Or he could do the old Naruto thing and attack everyone in his way, then they would have to open the gates for back up; either way he would be covered in Mitsuhide's blood later when he slaughtered him.

From where Naruto was at the time, he could see forty or more men standing around waiting for enemies. 'Well, if they are waiting for me, then maybe I shouldn't disappoint them now should I?' he thought to himself. Un-sheathing Howaido Kumori, and Kuroi Ranpu from his back, Naruto jumped to the ground. He started off with a simple Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, making three bunshin; he used them to startle the group while he picked off most of the guard, until there was about thirty when someone became brave and shot an arrow at one of the bunshin, and made it explode in to gray smoke.

Naruto dispelled the other two, and made his real presence known to the rest with a "Da-ku Zekkyou no Jutsu!" the dark void of screams, penetrated the small group and ripped through about a third of them. The surviving guards started to scream and holler for reinforcements to aid them. Slowly the gate opened and a lot more troops came flooring out than Naruto hoped for.

"It's…it's a ninja! Someone tell Akechi-Sama that there is an assassin coming for him!" one of the lesser generals ordered. Naruto could see the peon that was running into the camp and decided to let him run in and tell Mitsuhide that he was here; that man would fear him by the time Naruto killed him.

A small group of soldiers came running at him with the intent to kill him, but were all killed with a vicious 360 double bladed attack. One more man came after him from the behind and tried to stab Naruto in the back, but Naruto jumped over the man and launched of his back and sent the man into a spear in a double kill. He landed behind another lesser general that had slipped his view and kicked him to the ground and then back flipped over an incoming blade to his lower back and sliced the attacker up wards and split him in two.

The lesser general got up and launched after Naruto with his spear aimed at Naruto's head; he almost got there when an arrow accidentally hit him from somewhere in behind him and he fell to the ground holding his arm.

Naruto turned around to find more swords men and spear men, but now there was about thirty archers aiming for his head as well. Jumping over a few heads while slicing a few off at the same time; Naruto opened his blades compartments and swung extremely fast at the first few archers.

The archers say their target doing something to his blades while in the air and then saw him swing his blades at them. Of course not knowing anything about the blades, fell victim to the hidden kunai. Four fell with the blades in various parts of their body's, one of the captains, became pissed at seeing his friends fall from such a cheap trick, aimed an arrow at Naruto, and fired. The arrow flew and struck Naruto in the right arm.

"AAAAHHH!" Naruto let the pained yell flow from his mouth, and startled the incoming enemies for just a teeny bit. Naruto looked to his right arm and found an arrow sticking out of it. He quickly rolled over and stabbed a man in the leg while trying to take the arrow out of his arm. Finding that he would need more time to get the arrow out of his arm, Naruto quickly placed his blades together too form one blade and used his left arm to kill and maim the bastards.

"We must break through that defensive line to aid our allies! Find away either around it or through it immediately, or our allies will fall!" Hideyoshi yelled to his troops. They in return ran into two separate directions, one towards the hills where the lower canons were, and one towards the defensive line. Prepping their spears and swords for an assault, Hideyoshi's, men ran into the line of enemy troops and relentlessly attacked the line hopping for a break. Spears digging into chests and swords lobbing off body parts, the men from both sides struggled for victory.

After about ten minutes of hacking and slashing at the enemy line, a whole soon opened and inadvertently let a couple of Toyotomi in and behind the line and leading to a back assault helping to make even bigger wholes form in the line. By the time this was happening, the troops that went to where the canons were, were starting to show up behind the line helping their allies tear down the crumbling line.

"Forward! The Akechi main camp is just around the bend!" Hideyoshi yelled to his men. As the main force of Hideyoshi's forces were rounding the bend, an ambush opened fire on the group sending them back from the corner and finding a different way into the enemy's main camp. After returning to the broken line, Hideyoshi called up on some grafters to get a surveyor of the land to find an alternate route. After viewing the maps, Hideyoshi came to a decision and moved his army towards the route that was closer to Shoryuji.

A messenger came running to Hideyoshi as he was climbing back into his saddle to advance, "Hideyoshi-Sama, a report from Ishida Mitsunari-Sama, has confirmed a large sized force moving to Mt. Tenno, all members of the Akechi!" the messenger stated.

"DAMN! Well just have to go and help Mitsunari now wont we? Damn! What direction are the Akechi moving towards?" Hideyoshi asked.

"The side closet to the Akechi main camp milord." The man stated.

"Let's go! We move to protect those canons! You messenger, tell Shima Sakon, that there is an ambush on the main path and tell him to go towards the path in the south nearest Shoryuji." Hideyoshi commanded before turning to go and defend the canons.

The enemy soldiers poured out upon Naruto as he tried to fight with one arm. As a man tried to stab Naruto, he dodged out of the way only to duck or die as a sword came splitting the air where his head was once at. 'Damn it! Kyuubi, can you push some of your chakra into my arm so the arrow would fly off like the time with Haku and his senbon three years ago?' Naruto asked the giant kitsune.

'Only if you get a larger time period to stop moving around; other wards you'll loose a limb, or worse your life. No I can't help you right now, not even with chakra, my demon sense is tingling.' She replied to Naruto as he ducked another wild swing.

Naruto jumped out of the group, no mob, of soldiers and landed away from them so he could try to quickly try to remove the lodged arrow. 'What? Your "Demon sense" is what-iling?' Naruto asked, as he had to leave the arrow alone and dodge multiple arrows and lances that were sailing through the air at him. The arrow was still stuck fast, and he just couldn't afford to fiddle with it at the moment.

'What I meant was, the Akatsuki has taken someone and has taken their demon. In essence I could be able to tell you it was if had more time to do that in stead of heal minor scratches and cuts.' The demon told the warrior in trouble.

'Please hurry and find out whom it was who has been killed. If it is someone that I know of then tell me their name, but if it not one that I know then tell me the name of the biju. You can stop healing the minor scratches and cuts at anytime; just any big wounds would suffice. Now if you would excuse me, I have some bastards to slay!' Naruto thought back while slicing a man's head and kicking the body into a crow of incoming men making some of them to fly into others , successfully making a big enough hole...to be shot at by an archer.

The Arrow flew at Naruto with surprising speed. He tried to dodge left, only to find a spear thrust closing him off and steering him back into the flying projectiles way. He opted for the right but was again denied by one of the captains that had, had enough and was trying to kill Naruto probably for a promotion. Naruto quickly brought his right arm and forced his hand into a seal and Kawarrimied out of the projectiles path, striking another man who he had switched with.

Naruto took this opportunity to disappear into the woods and sit on a tree at the top, looking for a group of allied soldiers or someone to that extent. Again he tried to take the arrow out of his arm, but almost slipped as he yanked it trying to get it loose. Naruto caught himself and then decided to break off most of the stupid piece of wood so the butt of the arrow wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb. Breaking it off, Naruto felt the added pain slowly fade as the weight from the arrow was no longer tailing out of his arm.

Slowly making his arm feasible again. Slowly the mass of men were running back towards the main camp and towards Nene most likely; Naruto decided to make sure that he could use his blades as two again. Pulling his blades apart, Naruto placed one in each hand, and to his surprise he found out that even with the searing pain in his arm, he could still swing it. Jumping down to the ground, Naruto surveyed the land and found only the dead and injured on the ground.

Naruto was shell shocked. How could people of the same army not care about the injured people in their army? Even a half disabled man could learn to fire a bow, so why are they just leaving them there? Did they even have hearts, or was it just because that maybe they were afraid that they would either die, or be killed by Akechi Mitsuhide? Making sure to stay out of the men's range of view, Naruto hopped along the shadows and set full off in the Akechi main camps direction.

Upon arriving at the south gate, Naruto found that at least some of the Toyotomi had been able to find ways passed the blockade, not much, but still enough to take some of the brunt defense force off of him and Nene for a bit. Naruto decided to stop and make a whole bunch of Kage Bunshin and then have them place them selves in a Henge, to make it look like there was another force coming from the south pass.

Naruto's Kage Bunshin worked well to distract the group of enemies that were hanging around the south gate looking for any one to attack, they saw a small force of Toyotomi rushing towards them and wondered how they made it around the ambush units that were stationed by the corner of Shoryuji. It wasn't a large force, but it was larger than what they had seen at the west gate. They quickly called for some archers and other various units to aid them with the decimation of the enemy and took defensive positions until the back up could arrive.

The fake army ran towards the main camp with only a few things on their programmed minds; annihilate. Their orders were to hold and or break the defensive units guarding the gate, and if need be, protect ally units that might arrive from the west. The clones rushed in and acted like real men on the battle field; bleeding and staying in existence for a bit before dispelling and falling over when they were knocked down. They weren't super clones, they just had a bit more chakra in their systems to sustain them for a bit longer than one good hit.

Naruto took to the tree tops and followed the fake army towards the enemy guards that were stationed out side of the gate, definitely more than what had been there twenty minutes ago. All the clones that were 'Killed' didn't explode into smoke and powder, they just dissipated were they fell. So far Naruto had seen one lesser officer and a bunch of archers taking down most of the army that he had made.

His army wasn't that bad either, it wasn't the best, but still. They had taken down about forty men out the near hundred that had rushed out from the gate to help their allies. Naruto took this chance to re-enter the battle and summoned a clone from the fray and had him change into a ninja to help him with the Rasengan that was slowly forming in his hand. The swirling ball of chakra spun wildly as the clone met up with him and stabilized it enough for Naruto to launch out at the horde of enemies.

"Giro Satake! Get over here and help fend off the enemy!" yelled out a captain from the enemy horde. The situation was getting desperate and the horde of enemies needed help with the army of Toyotomi that had just appeared from around the bend.

Giro Satake, was a medium built man around 5'6", with a few scares on his torso that he proudly exposed when in a fight, he had short tan colored hair and a small beard growing that made him look like a bearded dragon. He wore a black and very pale blue uniform that held no clan symbol, he had a foreign sword that looked like it was five feet tall, the handle of the beast was made of wood and had different metals around it. It had a picture of a foreign dragon carved into it. The blade it self was tinged red and held a very grotesque aura around it, it was a double edged sword and even though it looked like it was just a regular sword it was so sharp that it could probably cut through most metals.

"What the hell do you want me to do huh? None of these guys are a challenge for me, it would sully my name if I fought in this battle. Call me if any of them make it through the gates then I will gladly spread some fresh blood for my blade to drink; but until then you're on your own!" Satake yelled out towards the lesser general.

"Fine then! Tell Akechi-Sama that we need him to be prepared for battle, and also tell him that the ambush plan has not succeeded and they have probably either run off or they have betrayed us!" the man yelled out as he continued to swipe at the Toyotomi troops.

"Alright, alright, keep your pants on you dumb ass." Satake grumbled out as he walked over to Mitsuhide's tent. When he arrived he knocked on the post outside and waited for some conformation before entering. After hearing a grunt Satake opened the flap and walked in. "Akechi-Sama, it seems that a group of Toyotomi has been able to pass through the Shoryuji ambush point. The lesser general at the south gate believes that either the ambush captain has betrayed us or they were scared and run off. He also wanted me to tell you that you should don your armor and sword just in case, no doubt you heard about the little ninja surprise earlier, right?" Satake explained to his commander.

"Which little ninja surprise Giro? The one with the animal like screaming and growling or Nene who was reported about five minutes before you arrived?" Mitsuhide asked Satake as he started to don his armor.

"The one at the south gate, Mitsuhide-Sama." He replied.

"WHAT?" Mitsuhide almost yelled as he dropped his blade and almost fell backwards.

"You mean you didn't know about the attacker at the south gate?" Satake asked with a fake concern plastered in his voice. "There should have been a guard that ran off to tell you about it, it was about twenty minutes ago. Maybe the ninja picked him off as a warning, all I know is that supposedly he was killed a short while ago, but the group never brought his head back." Satake informed his semi frightened lord.

"Satake, as your lord, I want you to go and slay those Toyotomi at the south gate, while I have fun with Hideyoshi's wife Nene. If you met any ninja, take their heads and I will shorten your sentence by how much I deem them to be worth in cash. Do you understand me? I am giving you a chance to regain your freedom faster, so it would be wise to not wait around and not involve your self like last time. Now leave my sight and do not come back unless it is an emergency." Mitsuhide ordered Satake before taking his leave.

On his way back to the south gate Satake was thinking about how to get out of Mitsuhide's clutches and back into the life of freedom he once had. How he hated the man; serving him made even killing bandits he met from time to time less enjoyable. But as he walked back towards the gate he heard a lot more men shouting than there once was. He started to walk a bit faster than before until he heard small explosions from behind the walls. He quickly burst out into a run and sped past some of the injured that were dragged inside so they wouldn't become hazards to the rest of the men fighting.

By the time he made it to the gate all that he could see was a few men of the Toyotomi and two grey ninjas and one was holding something that looked like what Nobunaga did to people for fun. The ball of purple energy would be thrown at enemies and peons alike and they would explode leaving a small crater and many either wounded or dead. Only this ball of energy looked not only more powerful than Nobunaga's did, but it was also a light blue almost white color. He watched as the two ninja ran straight towards the lesser general that had yelled at him earlier and once the ninja was almost upon him, he stuck his hand out in front him and what came next was something that Satake would most likely never to forget.

The orb of energy ripped right through the troops and hit lesser general and entered his stomach. The orb dissipated for a moment and then all of a sudden, the man exploded into ribbons of guts and blood. The many different body parts flew off in all directions hitting other men of the Akechi sending them either to the ground or just making them throw up all over the ground.

'What amazing strength and power! If this ninja accepts my offer to duel and beats me in battle, then I will ask him to kill Mitsuhide for me. As much as I would like to kill him my self, my family's honor is more important than revenge.' Satake thought. Gripping his blade tight he ran out and started slicing at the Toyotomi army, only soon afterwards realizing that it was all just a trick. His blade had no blood on its hilt and the bodies of his enemies were all the same consistency when he cut through them.

'This is just a parlor trick! All of these enemies must be illusions made by those two ninja. The question is which one was the one who launched that attack?' Satake thought as he continued to vanquish the clones, with the amount of clones that were left fighting him, Satake was beginning to think about what ninja had used the orb of energy that caused so much destruction with one blow.

Naruto had charged up a Rasengan and was bee lining for one of the lesser generals that had attacked him earlier. His attack had ripped the man to shreds. His body parts were flying everywhere and everyone was plastered with blood. But almost immediately after that attack was complete and he and his clone had moved back and started to attack the Akechi men again; a man ran out of the gates and started dismissing his clones with a weird sword that Naruto had never seen before. There was something about the blade that made him edgy. It was almost like the blade screamed for blood and the tinge of red on the blade it self was another factor. It wasn't like the blades that he had seen when he was at Tenten's when he was younger those swords were painted; but this blade seemed to be colored red like someone had used it for mass slaughter and then forgot to wipe the blood off of it.

Naruto jumped back and winced at the pain that was caused by the arrow and the Rasengan; he hoisted his blades again and quickly started cutting his way through the enemy, while his clones were being dispersed. Noting that the man was very fast in killing his clones, Naruto decided to step up the pace and start slaying enemies in larger numbers than just one or two at a time.

Undoing the compartments on his blades, Naruto swung them at full force and although with pain searing through his right arm, the shuriken did do much more damage than just swinging around like a monkey and hoping that someone would step into the blades. The shuriken almost struck the new comer but then swerved at the last second and struck down six archers, one for each shuriken. Naruto then started to use speed with his descending strikes and started to slice men from their heads to their feet. Once landing on the ground from the last two attacks, Naruto started doing wide range slashing movements with one blade and smaller dicing motions with the other.

Naruto kept up this kind of fighting until there was only about ten men left on the Akechi side, and then he started preparing for his ultimate attack. He was just about to voice his attack when the new comer decided to speak up.

"So, you're a ninja huh?" the man asked as he leaned on his blade.

"Maybe" Naruto replied while sending a thought to his last remaining clone that he had ordered into hiding.

"Maybe…what kind of answer is that? Either you are or your not, so what is it?" the man asked yet again.

"Just like I said, maybe." Naruto retorted.

"Well you wanna know my guess? I think that you are a ninja, now tell me who you work for and we might be able to figure something out; I'd hate to kill such a worthy adversary in the first go." He spoke again all the while leaning on his blade.

"It would seem that you are correct, now if you would please explain why you aren't fighting me like the others would be doing right now?" Naruto asked the man, while gripping his blades just in case.

"Ha, ha, it is easy actually, first your wearing ninja garbs and have the weapons of at least two other people I know about and they are also ninja, but the thing is, their women; and I was wondering as to why you were using that kind of weapon, when it is mainly for women in the first place?" he explained while taking the nasty looking blade out of the ground and pulled some of the dirt of the tip.

Naruto moved back ever so slightly before answering him, "Maybe I am just playing ninja and wanted to kill some people, you ever think of that? And for the blades, well as you can see I am not extremely tall so they fit me for now. You still haven't answered my other question yet."

"Oh the part about not attacking you as I try to figure anything out?" Naruto nodded his head; "Well you see, how do I know if you are a double crosser that needs to be punished by Mitsuhide-Sama or if you are just some ronin that can be hired to help us against the Toyotomi. Anyways, I know that you aren't just a kid with a drive to kill people because I know that all those troops of the Toyotomi were fake." The man said again while moving his blade yet again; only this time it was into a stance that Naruto had never seen before.

"You saw through my plans then huh? Well at least you aren't as stupid as these idiots are. The only blood on me or them for that matter is their own. But tell me how you know about the them being fake before we fight, I would like to know now just incase you accidentally kill me in this fight?" Naruto asked.

"Well I suppose I could, but then you will have to tell me your name so as I can fight you with honor. This blade is foreign meaning it comes from a different country, it comes from a land that supposedly has different types of magical creatures that can make a demon seem like a kitten at first glance. This blade was taken as a prize from my ancestors about three hundred years ago, and has been passed down from father to the best suited son to wield it. Off course we have to learn the foreigner's way of swords man ship, but we still know how to use samurai skills. This blade knows when the enemy is fake or alive just by cutting the enemy; for you see, this blade actually drinks the blood that is spilled on its hilt, thus giving it the name Doragon Kouzetsu, or Dragon's Tongue." The man said while moving his hand towards the hilt and sliced his hand on the blade and then let some blood drop upon the sword.

Naruto watched in fascination as the blood hit the sword and did nothing for a moment. But after a few seconds, the blood seemed to be sucked towards the handle from where a dragon's mouth could be seen.

"It drinks the blood from its victims and then heals and sharpens it self. Now that the prologue is done, let me introduce my self to you, my name is Giro Satake, and I challenge you to a duel for freedom!" the man now known as Giro Satake replied out and then seemed to be caught in a locked lunging stance.

"Well then, my Name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I accept your challenge but only on one condition…You tell me what you mean by 'a Duel for Freedom' after this is done." And with that Naruto brought his blades up and blocked an attack that seemed to appear from nowhere at all.

The force of the three blades was enough to make Naruto stagger, Satake's blade must be heavy to move him this much, five inches and on a block too. 'If the blade is this heavy then Satake must take a toll on his stamina faster than most.' Naruto thought as he blocked yet another strike from the massive and feral blade.

"You must either be pretty strong to make it this far boy, either that or your blades are still new and strong." Satake said while bringing his blade up for a bottom strike that would have sliced off Naruto's arm if he hadn't been able to move back in time.

"And why do you say that?" Naruto asked while unleashing a violent spin with both blades streaming towards Satake's head.

Satake blocked both attacks and then jumped backwards before moving again at a fast speed to try to knock Naruto off guard and gut him. "Well now that I know that you have some real strength I will answer my own question. Your blades are new aren't they? I can tell because if they were old and in need of repair then my blade would have sliced both blades in half with the first strike or so." He said while jumping off the ground and dodging a nasty strike aimed for the nads.

"Well I am glad that someone appreciates my strength and has the decency to tell me while I fight and not after I am knocked out or close to death." Naruto replied as he dodged an attack threatening to hit his gut. "Well then let me tell you that there are only a few people who have been able to keep up with me as long as you have. You're pretty strong yourself, but there is one question I have to ask you mind if I speak it now?" Naruto said as he dodged the double edged blade and attacked Satake.

"Well I don't think that it would harm the fight as long as it isn't something stupid like 'Will you marry my sister' I have had people ask me that before." Satake replied but then looked down casted and didn't see a strike coming for his face. When he realized that he had slipped mentally from battle, he found one blade in his face and another aimed at his stomach. "Why did you stop? This is a duel so why did you stop?" he asked Naruto.

"A couple of reasons; one is I haven't asked my question yet, another is why until I get that answer I will not continue the duel. The last one is that it is dishonorable to slay a distracted opponent in a one-on-one fight like this. Now spill!" Naruto told the man in front of him.

"Well this is a first but as you have commanded, I will tell you why I looked away. When you asked me earlier if you could ask me a question, and then I told you my exception. I have received many invitations to marry into other clans before." Satake started to explain.

"And that is disheartening because…?" Naruto pushed.

"I am the last of my clan." Satake explained with hint of venom in his voice that didn't go unnoticed by Naruto.

"And who killed your clan? Was it a brother or someone that just wanted your clan to serve them and then killed them off just because?" Naruto asked while moving back just a bit.

"NO! My brother never killed anyone in our family! The reason why I am clan-less is because my family used to serve Nobunaga-Sama up until a few years ago." Satake explained while taking in the flinch from Naruto when he said Nobunaga.

"And why were they killed? Did Nobunaga just get tired of them like so many other people I have heard about before?" Naruto said, while adding venomous tone to Nobunaga's name.

"NO! I mean yes! I don't know who to blame, him or Mitsuhide-Sama." Satake said while putting his hands to his head and grabbed his hair and tugged on it while he said that.

"Why would Mitsuhide have anything to do about it?" Naruto asked hoping that he could get an ally out of killing Mitsuhide.

"Nobunaga-Sama wasn't always like he was when Akechi betrayed him. Before that he was just a lord that stopped bandits and such while letting his fame spread in an attempt to control the land and end the chaos. But then a few years ago, Mitsuhide-Sama showed up and joined the army and my lords plans flew into fruition from there on. He did something to awaken a darker side in Nobunaga-Sama and he helped it to come into bloom. About two years ago my family stopped willing serving Nobunaga-Sama due to his plans of attacking places and dealing with peasants that didn't want to join him.

"One day my family pulled out and left the Oda, and moved back to our ancestral home land and stayed there for a few months before he came. That bastard Mitsuhide-Sama had convinced Nobunaga-Sama that my clan was a threat and needed to be destroyed at all costs. He was given consent and moved to attack us with a much larger force than our own and stared to kill everyone. Men, women, children, most if not all of the babies that had just been born; they were all slain by that man! I saw my father and mother fall in battle to protect some children and he was standing there with their blood running off his blade and letting it fall on to the children's' corpses. He found me with my father's blade and decided to capture me as a sandal barer. That day was the day I vowed to some how kill him even if it meant dieing in the process!" Satake finished his story with tears running down his cheeks.

"If you hate the bastard so much then why not kill him when he is weak and unprotected?" Naruto asked in hopes of gaining a new ally soon.

"I am bound by the last honor of my clan that if one is captured by an enemy, then he is to serve him until he dies. I can't kill him my self until he disowns me or someone else weakens him to the point where he deemed too weak. I have been doing my all to stop his reign of power since I knew of this battle. You say his name in equal loathe, what has he done to you to make you want to kill him so?" Satake explained.

Now it was Naruto's turn to look away from battle, only he when he realized that he had phased out, he didn't find a blade near him at all. Taking a breathe, Naruto finally spoke, "When I came to the village of Saika, I found it being decimated by Nobunaga and his men, but I didn't really know much about what was happening so I decided to help the villagers. Anyways, I found and helped out a small girl and fought briefly with Mitsuhide-Teme and got away. Later he somehow found the little girl while I was trying to find some survivors from the burnt village, and decapitated her in cold blood. The act had angered me and I swore that I would take his life for taking her's. Ever since then, I have been trying to find a way to kill him, without joining a large army, but eventually found my way into the Toyotomi after I met a friend that was currently employed and still is under Hideyoshi-Sama." Naruto explained to Satake.

"I realize that you are not my enemy, but still; I can't just let you pass through unless you were to become my lord after killing Mitsuhide-Sama. If you can deal with another person in your group, then I will let you pass and let you slay Mitsuhide-Sama. Will you?" Satake half explained and begged.

"I don't like the idea of ruling over someone as powerful as you and not treating you like an equal. If I do this deed, then you will have to follow my every command no matter how stupid they seem, right?" Naruto asked the man.

"Well…yes I would; Why?" Satake asked.

Naruto smiled a fox smile and then said, "Oh nothing. Just some things that…oh never mind. Now is their some way that I would could enter the camp without really being noticed by someone or even better fake my death?" Naruto asked.

"Why yes, it just so happens that I was supposed to bring him your head after I 'Killed' you. Since you are a ninja, then can you make an illusion that might make it seem like I am hauling your decapitated head back to Mitsuhide-Sama?' Satake asked in high hopes.

"Nope." Naruto said with a small grin.

"What?!" Satake yelled. "You're a ninja but you can't make an illusion?"

"Yep." Naruto replied back, still grinning.

"Why are you smiling at a time like this?" Satake yelled in a hushed voice.

Naruto simply put his hands into a seal and before finishing anything, he said, "Who needs illusions when you can do this?!" with that he transformed into a grotesque severed head and fell to the ground.

"O-kay. As long as you don't weigh a ton, this should work. Hope you can wait until tonight though, that's when he usually returns from battle to eat a meal fit for an emperor." And with that, Satake picked up the fake head, and walked back into the camp, but only after sending a small smoke bomb into a hole that would contact his allies, and then stabbed a few nosy guards that ran out to see what the smoke was for.

As that was going on between Naruto and Satake, Hideyoshi, Mitsunari and Kiyomasa, were trying to keep Mt. Tenno from falling into Mitsuhide's hands. Mitsuhide had launched two successful ambushes at both passes and almost crumpled the defenses as Hideyoshi and his army came to aid them.

"Keep these swine off of my mountain! They must not take control of the cannons or the main camp will be destroyed!" Hideyoshi yelled out to his officers and troops as he swung his tri-staff at enemies and smashed their bones to pieces.

Mitsunari was dealing with a good number of enemies as he cut their throats with his war fan. "Yes, this is a problem my lord, but do you think that our allies have found a way into the camp and taken Mitsuhide down yet?" he asked as he sent his fan through another mans neck, and watched the blood fly out as he pulled it out of said man's neck.

"I only hope that they haven't fallen to same fate as we have my lord. We could really use some help right about now." Kiyomasa yelled out over the roar of battle.

"I too hope, Kiyomasa, Mitsunari, that our allies have taken the camp and defeated Mitsuhide; but there is something about the way that this is all going that makes me apprehensive. It is almost like Mitsuhide wanted us to be lured us back here to attack who ever is within the camp area without back up." Hideyoshi hollered over the battle cries of death and despair.

"If that is you my Lord, then the only ones that we know about are, mistress Nene, and the boy, Naruto I thinks his name was, or is." Mitsunari said as he killed an archer that was trying to shoot Hideyoshi from the back.

"My Kami! If that is so, then must repel this attack and head for the Akechi main camp to aid them immediately!" Hideyoshi shouted as he killed more men as he rode through the small battle field and started attacking one of the lesser generals that was in command of the ambush units.

Shima Sakon and his troops were moving passed Shoryuji, and were aiming for the south gate's pass. They were nearing the band when a group of Akechi men came running out and started to attack when a smaller group ran out of the other side of the pass and took out the commanding officer of the Akechi ambush unit.

The new group was wearing the regular Akechi uniform, but was attacking their own allies; this was a puzzling turn of events that Sakon needed to figure out and fast. He didn't have time to ask as the groups leader came out of the mob and addressed him formally, "Great Shima Sakon, we are here to lend unto you safe passage to the Akechi main camp, do you comply?"

"First off, what is the meaning off this attack? Do you harbor ill will towards your own kind, or are you just an advanced hidden Toyotomi assassin unit?" Sakon asked while gripping his blade.

"Do not pull your blade on those who whish to help you in your endeavor to slay Mitsuhide, we are not Toyotomi, but are under the order of an officer who is bound to Mitsuhide as a prisoner of war. We are to either aid you, or leave you to deal with your own problems." The leader said to Sakon.

"And how do I know that this isn't a trap?" Sakon asked the man.

The man grinned and then said, "You don't. If you want proof then you'll just have to follow us into the main camp and slay Mitsuhide. Your allies are under attack as we speak, and the mountain is being fought for; you would no allies either way."

"I don't trust you at all, but I would rather hope that you are against Mitsuhide and not with him." Sakon stopped for a minute and then said, "Fine, we will aid you for now, but if you pull off any shit, then I will slay you my self I am I understood?"

"Clearly." The man replied and then ordered his own troops forward towards Mitsuhide and the Akechi main camp.

It had been nearly two hours since Nene and Naruto split up to attack the main camp and so far Nene had only been scratched by swords and spear tips. She had fought one lesser general and a bunch of captains, but no real challenges. She was swinging her blades half heartedly and not really paying attention anymore, when she heard a familiar voice from behind her.

"If it isn't Nene-San, so you're the reason as to why my men haven't been able to pass onwards to Mt. Tenno. But then again, didn't you think this was just a little too easy even for you?" the man said,

"Well if it isn't Mitsuhide-San, tell me did you come all the way out here just to say hi?" Nene replied.

"Ha, ha, no I didn't actually. I came here to tell you that this whole ordeal is finally over. My men have made their way up the cliffs and on to the passes of Mt. Tenno, and have by now either slain or are close to slaying Hideyoshi-Dono." Mitsuhide explained to Nene.

"What do you mean by that?" Nene said while moving her blades into a loose defensive stance.

"The reason why you haven't had any fun around here is because I sent my men out to wait for Hideyoshi-Dono and kill him, very early this morning Nene. Now I am going to give you a chance Nene. If you can survive a challenge one-on-one duel, then I will let you live as my wife; but if you fail, well then…you get the picture!" Mitsuhide said with a lecherous grin on his face.

"You pig! I will not accept the winning terms of this duel, but I will kill you for what you have just said to me!" Nene yelled as she brought her right blade upwards towards Mitsuhide's face; however the attack was blocked by Mitsuhide's katana. Bringing her left blade downwards on his head, he moved backwards and struck the blade with a passing movement of his sword. Nene staggered for a moment but corrected her self and was able to dodge a fatal blow to her face.

"Is this all that the famed kunoichi wife of Hideyoshi-Dono has for strength? Pathetic! I have foughten children better than you; all well such is the life of a pampered woman is it not?" Mitsuhide said with a mocking tone.

Nene was beyond furious and started striking faster and faster until Mitsuhide had to jump backwards more than once to regain his ability to attack the enraged woman. "Well that was better, but I think that you are at your limit wouldn't you agree? While you have been fighting all day long and tiring your self out, I have been resting and dealing with morons like your husband all day long. I must say that it is very easy to kill you right now as you are, my skills are not for the tired and weak Nene; so I ask you again, will you join me as my wife?" Mitsuhide asked.

"Fuc-Oommff" Nene tried to reply before being knocked out by a viscous hand chop from Mitsuhide him self.

"That is very bad language miss Nene, I will have to beat it out of you later; but for now, if Hideyoshi does somehow make it through that ambush attack, I can use you as a line of weakness and kill him very easily; Hahahaha!" Mitsuhide laughed out.

Three hours later

The attacks on Mt. Tenno were repelled and the Toyotomi were now regaining some lost time and land. "Forward!" Hideyoshi shouted out to the three or more armies that were now running after his horse; "We must aid the attacks on the Akechi main camp! Don't give a single man quarter, rip them apart!"

"My lord," Kiyomasa suddenly spoke out as he rode next to his lord. "Shouldn't mistress Nene and the boy have been able to take Mitsuhide down by now?"

"Yes indeed." Came Mitsunari's drawl voice from the other side of Hideyoshi; "Apparently the enemy had a larger force than we thought they had. They had enough to repel our attacks on the main camp not once but twice, and launched three successful ambushes on out forces. Who are we to say that Mitsuhide didn't have more allies back at his camp? Nene and the boy are very strong, but I don't think that they could repel a large force on their own for long." He deducted.

"Even though it pains me to say this, you're right Mitsunari; they couldn't repel such a force. But right now we need to give them the benefit of the doubt." Hideyoshi said, then he picked up his tri-staff and thrust it into the air before shouting, "For our allies and our lord!" an agreeing horde of voices followed after and filled the sky like thunder.

"So you're telling me that you serve someone that serves Mitsuhide so he can kill him?" Sakon asked as he and his army followed the man that had saved them from an ambush attack.

"Yes. He can't attack or kill Mitsuhide because of clan honor, so he has gained support from the few troops and officers he has met, that also hate Mitsuhide." The man replied while still leading the army to the main camp.

"And why does this man want to kill Mitsuhide, but can't kill him himself?" Sakon asked further.

"He wants to kill Mitsuhide because he did something to Nobunaga-Sama to awaken his inner demon by aiding his campaigns. He started to attack innocents and that in turn pissed one of the following groups of clans that had sworn to aid him in battle. They returned to their home lands, and were left alone for about two years afterwards. About two years ago Mitsuhide got Nobunaga-Sama to listen to his plots and attacked our leader's home land. There were no survivors but our leader, or at least none that he knows about." The man said as they neared the camp.

"And why is this man still alive then?" Sakon asked.

"For a few reasons, some that our leader knows about and some that he doesn't know about. One is that he has learned a foreign sword style, and is the only one that can wield his family's blade; another is so he could have a servant that could fight if needed. The reasons that our leader doesn't know about are, one he can speak and understand the European language; and the second reason is so if the Europeans ever come to attack while they both are alive, he can set up an alliance through marriage." The man explained to Sakon and his men.

"Ahh…I can see why he would want to kill him; so are there any plans as to go about attacking the main camp, or is it just mass murder and mayhem?" Sakon asked.

"Just destroy the enemy before they destroy you." The man said to him.

Two hours later

Giro Satake was walking by the main tent and heard Mitsuhide's voice coming from it so he decided to stop and listen to the voices.

"Hideyoshi is dead you know Nene. If you want time to grieve before I make you my wife, then I suggest you do it now; because after dinner, you're mine and mine alone!" came the unmistakable voice of Mitsuhide.

"No! Hideyoshi will never fall to the likes of you!" she said while trying to suppress her fear and worry. "You may have won that duel, but you have not won anything, I did NOT approve of this kind of arrangement, and not only did you break your word of a one-on-one duel, you also had a conspirator aiding you!"

Satake bristled at the notion of Mitsuhide cheating just to gain a new female into his rather small harem. Still he resumed his façade and knocked on the post out side the tent flap and then waited for an answer. After a brief moment of silence, the flap opened and Mitsuhide waved Satake in.

"Ahh Satake, please do come in and take a seat anywhere; well maybe not next to my new wife she's a real feisty one, she might bite, no wonder Hideyoshi took such a liking to her? Anyways, tell me you killed that annoying pest around the south gate?" Mitsuhide asked with a small bit of pride laced within.

"Yes my lord I have killed the ninja that was around the south gate like you commanded me." Satake reported. The look on Nene's face was unreadable on the outside, but on the inside her face fell faster than a rock.

"Good, good! Show me the face of the dead ninja so I may take the time off your enslavement." Mitsuhide said.

Nene then looked up at the man known as Satake and felt just a small well of hope that he didn't kill Naruto and this was all a ploy to kill Mitsuhide.

"This is," Mitsuhide started as he looked at the bundle on his desk. "This is disgusting! Could you have made his face anymore illegible? Wait a minute!" he said as he saw the blond hair sticking out of the skull. "Yes it is! It's that little brat that killed my platoon before I betrayed Nobunaga-Sama! I have finally killed him!" Mitsuhide said while not caring to look at Nene's or Satake's face.

"Mitsuhide-Sama, my enslavement time for this prize?" Satake asked.

"What was it before let's see here now. Ahh yes there it is, thirty years and for bringing in a prize such as this…twenty nine years!" Mitsuhide said, while starting to prance about.

"Mitsuhide-Sama! The last one I killed got three years off my time and he was a normal man! I kill this ninja who was given you problems before, and it is one year?" Satake exclaimed.

"Don't you take that tone with me boy! If I wanted you dead then you would be, if I wanted to give you your freedom then I could, but I wont; not yet at least anyways. The last man was more than what he seemed so that is why he was worth three years on my chart, this boy while strong was not so dangerous; so therefore he is worth one year." Mitsuhide said, while walking out of the tent.

"Well that went over quite well don't you think?" Satake asked Naruto who was still lying on the table but never the less just winked. Unfortunately for him Nene had found something that she could throw from her tied predicament and chucked it at his head. "Ow! What the in the nine hells was that for?" Satake growled out.

"You killed Naruto! How could you?!" Nene quietly yelled at Satake.

"First off, this is war is it not? And in war people die it is the way of life. Second, he isn't dead, he is just acting like it so he can kill that man for me." Satake growled out.

"Well then, if he is alive then were is he?" Nene asked not believing what the man just told her.

"Doing what ninjas do, hiding." Satake responded before moving the decapitated head towards Nene.

"That is his head! You lie! You killed him!" Nene yelled out in anger, not because she cared about Naruto, no; it was because she owed him her life for saving her before.

"Oh really? Then can a real head do this?" Satake asked as he thrust the head in front of her. Nene looked at the head and then one of the eyes winked at her; and if that wasn't enough, the mouth moved as well.

"AAAAHHHH!" Nene screamed at the sight.

"Shut up! Don't scream like that you're going to attract attention!" Satake growled out. Nene shut up and for a moment Satake thought that everything was in the clear when,

"What is going on here?" Mitsuhide asked as he walked back in the tent.

"Nothing Mitsuhide-Sama, she was being stupid and tried to scream for help." Satake answered.

"Is this so Nene, or are you two hiding something from me?" Mitsuhide demanded.

"No it's not either of those reasons; I was because I saw a snake by my feet." Nene responded while blushing in embarrassment.

"Good. Now tell me Satake, why are you still here?" he asked.

"Well you see sir, I was going to leave after reporting when I found out that she could still move her hands enough to grab and throw stones at people. Since I didn't want to be in trouble when you returned and might have either found her missing or attacked by her, I stayed behind to protect you." Satake responded to his lord.

"Fine. Go get some food and then get some sleep, I want you to be nice and rested when we finish eradicating the Toyotomi forces; and I don't think that I will need any more help here soon after." Mitsuhide replied with hidden lust in his last few words.

"As you wish Mitsuhide-Sama." Satake said while turning to leave; but as he neared the tent flap, he stopped and then asked; "Do you wish me to take the severed head out of your tent for the night while you have fun interrogating the prisoner?" Satake asked.

"What? Oh yes please." And with that Mitsuhide waited until the flap closed behind him and then tried to take Nene.

It was two hours later when Mitsuhide had left his tent and stalked out into the night for some fresh air. 'That bitch! How dare she kick me in the crotch, who does she think she is? I mean her husband is dead and she has no hope of being saved by anyone, so why doesn't she let me take her?' he thought as he went to the latrines. As he walked back to his tent he noticed that some of his guards weren't where they were supposed to be.

"You there! What do you think you're doing? Stand up and get back into position this minute!" he ordered the men.

The men just turned around and gave Mitsuhide a small shock, "Well, well, well. Look what we have here, it looks like a snake doesn't it Kyo?" spoke one of the guards.

"No that's not a snake Masa, that's a bitch!" the other man replied.

"Do you know who you're talking to here? I am Akechi Mitsuhide-" Mitsuhide started but was cut off.

"Yeah we know who you are, you are our victim. Sound the horn Masa, and I will show our guest a show." The one known as Kyo, as he turned around and showed the colors for the Toyotomi on his uniform.

"You two are traitors to your country and lord, for betraying me, I grant you death!" Mitsuhide shouted as he ran towards the two men. Unfortunately for Mitsuhide he walked into a previous set trap. As he slashed Kyo through the torso, Masa sent up a bomb and took his own blade and tried to avenge his friend. He was cut down before he even got to his friends corpse.

Running over to his tent to grab his armor and wake up his soldiers, he noticed that there were already many Toyotomi in his main camp. Running faster and faster in hopes of getting to his tent, he passed two men in tattered cloaks both with distinctive weapons, one giant blade and one rifle. Mitsuhide ran into his tent to see that Nene was still tied down and was about to go over to her and use her as a hostage, when a bullet ran through his tent and almost hit him.

"So this is what the great Mitsuhide does after a battle huh?" replied a voice from behind him.

"So it seems, that's more than a little bit disturbing Mitsuhide." Said another voice from behind him.

"What are you talking about? You don't like to have sex after a battle? Neither of you can deny it, both of you worms are ronin and would gladly have sex with any young female!" Mitsuhide yelled at them.

"Well yes that is true in a sense…" spoke one of the men; he stepped into the light of the candle and removed his cloak to show the face of Sakon standing there with his giant sword.

"But most men like us have sex with women, live ones at that; not dead men." Stated the other man, also removing his cloak to show the features of Magoichi standing in the tent flap with his rifle pointed in the air. "Never thought of you as a homosexual-necrophiliac there Mitsuhide!" he finished with a pull of his rifles trigger sending a burst of sound into the air, rallying the Toyotomi and the Akechi armies.

"What the hell are you talking about? I was trying to have sex with a woman, unless you can't figure out that Nene is a woman, and this sleeping figure is indeed," Mitsuhide turned around and then said, "A dead…man?"

With that last part leaving his mouth, he picked up his sword and lunged at the two men with lightning fast speeds and tried to cleave them in two. Sakon brought his sword up to block the blade that was flying towards him. Magoichi brought is bayoneted rifle down on the sword to immobilize the weapon any further.

"Ha! Do you think you have beaten me just because you have stopped my blade? You do realize that more than one of your officers has fallen to my blade don't you?" seeing the looks on Sakon and Magoichi faces, Mitsuhide pressed the matter. "Your friend Magoichi, the boy has fallen to my ambushes and my greatest warrior, his head rests with the other officers heads, or rather when they arrive that is." Mitsuhide cackled out.

"And who might that be Mitsuhide?" Sakon asked.

"Why Hideyoshi, Mitsunari, and Kiyomasa for starters; then your heads will be placed right next to theirs off course. Seeing the look on your face Magoichi it seems that you don't believe me that your little friend is dead, Satake! Get out here with that head right now!" Mitsuhide commanded as Magoichi looked like a boiled lobster.

Satake came out of his small battle and ran inside his tent to grab the fake head and gave it to Mitsuhide. "See Magoichi, this is your little running buddy isn't he? I killed him earlier for trying to extract revenge for killing Nobunaga-Sama just like you are now Your fate is to die right here and join him and all of those from your village that you couldn't protect from me in the after life, HAHAHAHAHA!" Mitsuhide laughed insanely at the duo.

Magoichi lifted his rifle and aimed at Mitsuhide's face but was unable to fire due to an incoming blade from behind him. The only way he knew there was one there was because of Sakon blocking it with his blade.

"Hmmm? You're the second person in a while that has been able to repel my servant's blade, I must say good job, but…you will die here and now!" Mitsuhide said as he lunged at Sakon and Magoichi with all the speed he could muster; Magoichi tried to bring his rifle into a blocking position when a new weapon blocked the attack. CLESH! He looked up only to see a smiling Nene with her other blade coming in from behind to stab Mitsuhide in the back. The second strike was blocked by Mitsuhide turning quickly and removing a smaller second blade from the inner confines of his armor.

"How the hell did you get out of my tent Nene-Hime? Did you not like my companionship and care? Did you not want my body lying on top of yours?" Mitsuhide asked with a nasty perverted smile on his face.

"Nope. And as to how I got out of the ropes and out of the tent…ask him." Nene said while nodding her head towards Satake.

"Satake?! How dare you betray me! I gave you life in Nobunaga-Sama's army and you throw all of that away? For your treasonous ways, I hereby order your execution immediately!" Mitsuhide yelled as he launched at Satake who was still locked in combat with Sakon.

Sakon saw the incoming attack from behind Satake and maneuvered both of them out of the way from his strike. Satake looked at Sakon with a knowing glance and then pulled out from the deadlock and jumped backwards and towards Naruto's hidden location.

Mitsuhide turned and ran forwards towards Satake only to meet Sakon in a one-on-one battle and threw many blows at him only to hit in the back by a hidden ninja in the Akechi ranks. He fell to the ground with a thud and tried to get up only to find Mitsuhide's blade falling on his head.

CLESH! The blow was blocked by Nene who had taken out the ninja in the dark right after hitting Sakon in the back, and then threw her own blades at Mitsuhide. However this made herself a wide open target and the next prime target for the furry and enraged Mitsuhide. He turned and ran towards her with the full intent of killing her when a bullet rang out and caught him in the leg making him fall to the ground.

Mitsuhide quickly got back up to his feet and took the handle of his swords and bashed them upside Nene's sides and head to knock her out. He turned his attention towards Magoichi and rushed him the best he could without getting shot again. He launched a flying slash attack from the ground upwards and another straight for Magoichi's stomach successfully injuring him when Magoichi went to dodge the attacks and took the shorter blade in the side.

Mitsuhide took his swords and was about to impale Magoichi when said man's rifle shot out towards him and almost took his life by strike to the stomach. Mitsuhide jumped as far as he could with a bullet in his leg and dodged the second one aimed at his skull this time only to be smashed in back from a strike in the back and fell forwards. Standing right behind him was Toyotomi Hideyoshi with his tri-staff aimed for his skull. With all the strength in his body, Hideyoshi brought the weapon down on Mitsuhide's skull and crushed it in a violent shower of blood and brains.

"All you all right?" Hideyoshi asked after checking his back to see the Akechi men giving up, dieing in battle or committing suicide.

"Yeah we are, but Sakon was nailed in the back with a rock, and Nene was brutally smashed in sides and hit in her head by Mitsuhide. I have a stab wound and Naruto is…dead." Magoichi said his voice full of sorrow.

"Damn it!" Hideyoshi cursed out loud. Then he looked at Satake and asked/commanded, "Who are you?"

"I am an Akechi servant who has gone rouge." Satake replied.

"Then why did you not attack Mitsuhide when you could have many times in this melee?" Hideyoshi asked temper rising.

"Because I am bound by honor not to attack the person who is my mater; and at the time Mitsuhide was my master." Satake said while taking his blade out of its sheath.

"And yet you still are, Satake!" said a voice from the surrounding darkness. "And you shall always be my servant until you fulfill your true purpose to me and my rule as emperor of Japan."

"Mitsuhide-Sama!" Satake growled out.

"Mitsuhide, how are you alive? I killed you!" Hideyoshi yelled out at the dark figure walking towards them.

"You stupid monkey! You couldn't even tell me apart from a ninja? How utterly pathetic!" Mitsuhide said as he stepped out of the back round and into the light.

"You dishonorable piece of shit! You say you fight for Nobunaga-Sama and then kill him; then you take Nene-Sama hostage and try to rape her; you take away my kills and say that they are your own; and you still think that Nobunaga-Sama wants you to lead his forces?!" Satake growled out.

"You kill innocent children and rape women just because you have power, you tricked Nobunaga-Sama into killing my clan and then trapped me as your sandal bearing slave; you kill Nobunaga-Sama and then act like he wanted you to take over afterwards, and then you back trick us into fighting your ninjas just so you can come over and gain a few quick kills? You have fallen to the point where I have full rights by my clans name and honor to attack and kill you as of now!" Satake exploded and then rushed after Mitsuhide with Doragon Kouzetsu following through the air with him.

He put as much force as could put into this attack and cut through Mitsuhide's short sword and almost killed the man but was attacked from behind by yet another ninja. He fell to the ground with a thud, and laid there with a small blade sticking out of his back.

"Such anger and hate, you will never get anywhere with these two emotions behind your blade, if you swear your life to me, then I can teach you how to fight to your full extent. This is your last chance Satake, think about it." Mitsuhide said as he kicked the man in the side and picked the severed head that was Naruto in disguise and showed it to Hideyoshi and Magoichi.

"This is what happens to those who try to kill me, they die; although you would do much better to serve me and be my underlings so I might rule Japan with an iron fist!" Mitsuhide said as he shoved the head out away from his face. "All though I hate both of you with a burning passion that is only rivaled to my loving passion for-" he was interrupted by an eerie voice that came from right in front of him.

"Dead men and children!" replied the invisible voice, well to Mitsuhide that is.

"What in the nine hells is that? Who ever said that better come here and take their punishment!" Mitsuhide roared out to the invisible voice. "If you come out right now, then I will give you a light-" again he was interrupted by the voice.

"Beating!" yelled the voice.

To Hideyoshi and Magoichi who were looking at Mitsuhide, saw the mouth of their young ally Naruto moving and seemed to be saying the insulting things about Mitsuhide. They glanced at Satake and saw him trying to hide an ungodly amount of laughter and humor.

Mitsuhide saw the other's faces and looked at the head in his hand and then started to say something only to let out a high pitch scream as the eyes of the severed head opened and turned blood red. The mouth seemed to open and show off nasty looking daggers for teeth. Mitsuhide finally threw the head on the ground and brought a sword down on it only to find the dismembered head moving on its own.

"A-a-a-a d-d-dem-m-m-on!" He gasped out and watched the head making fun of his face when he said that.

Finally after the piss smelling man was done screaming demon out, did Naruto finally say something only to be cut off by something else. All that escaped his mouth for a minute was a nasty hiss and then a roar of primal fury.

"Naruto! I have figured out which or my brethren was extracted, I am sorry to say this but it seems that Gaara has die, Naruto I know you know about what happens when jinchuriki are un-fused from their biju, but for some reason …wait Naruto, Naruto! What are you doing! If you take that much of my energy we will be discovered! Don't let your emotions get the better of you-" the signal was cut out as Naruto took more and more chakra and started loosing his control on the long used Henge.

Naruto seemed to roar for an eternity before he broke out of the henge and grew into a four tailed hybrid and with another roar, knocking out everyone besides the stock still Mitsuhide who looked like their was a wave of water taller than any castle he had ever seen before rushing at him. One tail ripped out of Naruto's tail bone and then two, soon a third tail could be seen forming and then no more. Naruto in this state sailed through the air and to Mitsuhide it seemed like he vanished from this plain of existence. For a minute he heard nothing not even the air and wind of the night.

Mitsuhide took a step backwards and then felt something rip through his back and protrude from his chest, he looked down and saw a nasty red energized hand with long white and red claws staring back at him. He let out a scream of pain and terror and fell to the ground as the hand was taken out of his body extremely fast. Mitsuhide fell to the ground and then felt a sharp kick hit his lower back somewhere that sent him soaring into a tent and slamming his face into the post. The was a loud noticeable crack and then silence again.

Naruto was so ticked off at the fact that he had lost one of his only friends in the world, in his Kyuubi induced form, he charged up Bakuyaku Shadou no jutsu and let it loose and incinerated a massive section of frozen Akechi tents. He then figured out what had happened, he lost control and used Kyuubi's chakra and not only would have scared the shit out of his new allies, he had just sent a massive signal beacon towards the Elemental Countries. If Naruto had figured it out before he would have realized that he had inadvertently froze time for a blip. When the red burning energy left his control and seeped back into the seal, everything started up again.

The other participants that were still awake at the time this took place, saw just a red blip and then nothing happened for a minute and then without any provocation, the main tent exploded and there was a very dead and crumpled Mitsuhide, then the larger section of Akechi tents seemed to burst into white and then soon black flames sending an explosion that swept the area. The last thing that Hideyoshi, Magoichi and Satake saw was another red blip and then Naruto fell to the ground face first knocked out with his blades sticking out of his hands and pointed just so that they seemed to cast a white and black shadow at the same time.

In the Elemental Countries

Seven figures stood in a cave with an ugly statue, a wall hanging in the back with nine gems placed in it started to shine bright red from the middle gem and an evil aura leaked through the cave notifying the caves contents that something was happening.

"It seems that the Kyuubi no Kitsune has shown it self after all." Stated a man shrouded in a black almost unnoticeable colored cloak.

"Do you want us to go after it Leader-Sama?" a man with a giant wrapped blade that hung over his shoulder.

"Not yet; it seems that the little jinchuriki has wandered to my old country and is probably hidden rather well. I have just recently arrived from visiting my old home land and was beaten due to a minor misconception, I underestimated an opponent. We'll go later, but for now, take the two tailed jinchuriki and bring her here alive, I want to see if my thoughts are correct on a minor detail." He said with a low hiss.

"Should one of us go to Konoha and find out if Itachi's little brother has gotten wind of this yet? He might set out on a journey to kill him and screw up our whole entire scheme!" remarked the man with a spiral like face with a hole in it.

"Hmm, maybe, send one of my underling squads to spy on him and the rest of Konoha, if they begin to move, then either they can our one of you can go and kill him, leave the village standing though." The leader of the group stated before disappearing into the cave.

Konoha

A few select group members of the council were sitting in an unauthorized meeting when a member of Roots burst in and handed Danzo a letter; right after reading the letter he burnt it over a candle and let the ashes fall from his palm and scatter into the wind. He stood up and ignored Hiashi as he chuckled grasping everyone's attention.

"What is the meaning of this Danzo-San" Hiashi asked hotly.

Only three words left his mouth for his explanation, "We've found him!" soon the whole room was cheering and started talking about plans for his death.

Chapter 7

Sorry it took so long to update but I had school work to do, getting some mild writers block, you know the not so fun stuff. I am not going to be doing the usual Q&A today, I don't feel like sitting at the computer for another hour answering some questions and shit, but I thank anyone who did review and I will try to answer your questions later on. I already have three thousand words down for CH. 8, so that wont take as long. This chapter is about 13,051 words and thirty-nine (double spaced) pages long, excluding this stuff.

To anyone who thinks that this is when Naruto is twelve, I will say that this not when he is twelve but I added another Sasuke retrieval act. I might be thinking about adding guns into war play later as an idea struck me as I was writing a few parts of this chapter.

Not telling anything about the next chapter so you'll have to read to find out.
