Chapter 6
Ryoudo no Jutsu
The Jutsu feared by all, Ryoudo no Jutsu. But what is it that makes it so terrifying?
DISCLAIMER: ...OH COME ON?!?! DO I REALLY NEED TO PUT ONE?!?!
Kuroki swiftly made his hand signs, and smirked. Lee was watching him carefully, trying to predict his movements, which to his amusement were pretty easy. But to his surprise, the black-haired man did not attack. Instead, he stood there, eyes closed, concentrating. "Ryoudo no Jutsu." He muttered, and his body melted into a soft puddle, making it's way towards Gai.
Gai began to jump back as he saw the jutsu crawling after him, afraid at what might happen according to the jutsu's name. "Gai-sensei!" Lee shouted as he saw his sensei quiver in fear. "Gai-sensei, what's wrong?"
The youthful Jounin screamed in agony as the puddle of Kuroki surrounded him, crawling into his mouth, ears, and nose, traveling through his system. The liquid completely disappeared inside Gai, who went silent. "Gai-sensei!" Sakura screamed as the Jounin's head hung lifelessly. "Gai-sensei!"
Suddenly, Gai's body twitched. A low, cold chuckle grew louder from his body. Slowly, the Jounin's head lifted, still chuckling in the cold tone. Naruto gasped when his head was all the way up, revealing the yellow eyes of Kuroki. "W-What happened to Gai-sensei?" he stuttered, staring at the snake-like eyes. Ryoudo no Jutsu; The name kept replaying in the Hokage's head. Possession Jutsu, so then was Gai…taken over? "Oh shit!" Naruto shouted, and bolted up, ignoring the pain from his previous wounds. "You did, didn't you? You took over Gai-sensei's body!"
'Gai' chuckled, "That's right, Naruto. The Gai you know is not here." The yellow eyes stared at them, filled with determination to kill. "You could say he's been silenced."
The anger fumed within Lee, and he flung himself at the newly taken over Gai. "How dare you! Come to your senses, Gai-sensei! Please!" he shouted desperately, and kicked Kuroki in the gut, but it didn't faze him. Another cold chuckle escaped from Gai's body, and his fist blasted into Lee's chest.
"Lee!" Naruto shouted, and ran out into the battle.
"Naruto! Get back here!" Sakura shouted, knowing fully well that his wounds had not healed. Naruto flipped around to protest, but Sakura interrupted him. "I don't care that the Kyuubi will heal you! It's better to stay out of the battle!"
Despite what the kunoichi said, Naruto just shook his head, and turned around. "Sakura, you seem to have forgotten," he muttered, eyes closed. Sakura stared at him in confusion. "A Hokage, he puts his life on the line for the village. He protects his friends, and fights in even a battle he can't win. As long as the village backs him up, he will fight for them. My friends are in danger, and it's my duty to protect them." When Naruto opened his eyes, bright crimson ones replaced his sapphire eyes. "I will put my life on the line for all of you, as the Rokudaime."
Naruto shot himself at the body of Gai, and blasted into his gut. Much to his amusement, Kyuubi had awoken in him, and was talking to him.
Naruto…Can I help you?
There's a way to get Kuroki out of there so that Gai won't be injured.
Tell me. Got it?
Yeah, yeah. Just sit back, I'll do it all.
Obeying the demon, Naruto sighed and relaxed. Kuroki raised in eyebrow in confusion. A bright red light began to seep off of the blonde's skin. It filled the room with an ominous mist, growing in power. Worried about what was going on, Kuroki ran at Naruto, but was caught as the newly grown claws in the Hokage's hands pierced his chest. The red mist seemed to light up even brighter, and was moving around in high speeds. Naruto's arm began to creep back, still connected to Kuroki's chest. With harshness, he jerked a clear figure from the chest of Gai's body. When the figure was entirely out, the body fell to the ground, and a faint panting echoed against the walls. Naruto's crimson eyes glared at the figure hooked to his claws, and realized that it was Kuroki's spirit. "Wh-what the…how did you?" Kuroki stuttered, struggling within the grasp of the jinchuuriki. "How did you break the jutsu?"
Naruto chuckled, "I see. I was able to rip you out of Gai so I can defeat you." His grip loosened on Kuroki. "Thank you, Kyuubi." With force, he threw his hand out from the spirit that was hooked to his claws.
Slowly, Kuroki's clear form began to turn solid and colored. He stood up, and faced the Hokage with anger flashing through his yellow eyes. "So," he coughed, and cracked his knuckles. "The Kyuubi can take out spirits from one person. Interesting." Kuroki's eyes closed, and he concentrated on something. "Ryoudo no Jutsu!"
Again, his body melted into a liquid, but this time made it's way over to Naruto. Just like before, Naruto began jumping back, dodging the jutsu carefully. Suddenly, his body was caught, and he couldn't move. Now he was being taken over by Kuroki just like Gai had.
This time, Kuroki didn't take his time to take over Naruto's body. It happened in a split second. Naruto screamed, trying to get him out of his body again, but this time it wouldn't work. His body went numb, and he felt himself fall to the ground. But, it was like he wasn't conscious, when he knew very well that he was awake. Then Naruto's body lifted itself off the ground, and looked at the many shinobi in front of him. With yellow eyes.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxSokitou glanced around the room at his eight comrades, all ready to capture Akatsuki's final Bijuu. "Please say 'here' when I call your name." He said, and everyone nodded. "We all know Gyurioi is here,"
Gyurioi smiled warmly, "Konichi wa!"
The redheaded leader flicked his gaze over to everyone else. "Tobi,"
"Here!"
"…Calm it a little, Tobi."
Tobi frowned behind his mask. "But isn't Tobi a good boy?"
"SHUT UP!" A blonde next to him shouted as he slammed a fist down on his head. "YOU BAKA!"
The Akatsuki members looked at the two partners nervously, and Sokitou coughed. "…Deidara is here," he muttered. His red eyes glanced to the person next to Deidara. "Well, well. I thought you died. Welcome back, Sasori."
Sasori smirked at his leader. "Good to be back."
"Next. Tagikura."
Cold green eyes glared at Sokitou, but surprisingly her voice was as soft as snow. "I'm here." She whispered, closing her eyes.
"Shouji?"
Another member stared at his leader with icy blue eyes, matching the light blue hair on his head. "Ah."
"Zebutiou?"
"Yeah, I'm here." A small girl said in a low voice, glaring at Tobi with piercing violet eyes, her black hair floating gently in the air.
"And finally, Watarishita?"
Another girl looked up at Sokitou with large brown eyes, her fingers wrapped within her blonde hair. "Hai," she whispered softly, her voice like an angel's.
Sokitou nodded, pleased. "Everyone is here, but one. He's holding off our target for us. Are we ready to go?" he asked, but Zebutiou stared at Sokitou, showing disapproval. "What?"
"Sokitou-kun, I know you're anxious…" Zebutiou stated in her low voice. "But I don't think it's a good idea to go now."
Shouji growled, "Why? If we wait any longer, the Jinchuuriki will be heavily guarded!"
Zebutiou flicked her harsh gaze over to her comrade, warning him. "No. I doubt it. Kuroki-san succeeded in taking over the Jinchuuriki." She said; her violet eyes a light blue now. "There is no need to rush. He will come to us."
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxSakura stared in horror as she saw the yellow eyes of Kuroki staring at her, but within Naruto's body. "Naruto…" she muttered, tears welling up. "Naruto! Come back!"
Kuroki's eyes kept flashing from yellow to red to a sapphire blue, obviously showing signs of struggle. "S-Sak-ura-cha-an…" Naruto's voice coughed, struggling to talk. "P-please…get…o-out of…he-re…"
"No!" Sakura shouted, her emerald eyes glimmering as the tears crept down her face. "I won't leave you Naruto! I won't!"
Now Naruto's eyes were his sapphire blue, staring at Sakura with deep compassion. "Sakura-chan…you can't be near me." He said, sighing heavily. "You'll get killed. It's over. I've lost."
"What happened to your confidence? Where is your will to fight?" Sakura screamed, running up to the Hokage. "Why are you giving up?"
"I can't win." Naruto said bluntly. "I'll be killed either way. Lose, lose situation." Suddenly, he pushed Sakura out of the way right before he screamed in pain. The cool, sapphire eyes disappeared, replaced by harsh, red ones. But that didn't stop the sapphire expression from appearing. "Goodbye, Sakura-chan." He coughed, spattering a little blood. "I'll see you again," When he turned around to leave, his expression saddened. "I hope." He muttered, and jumped off.
My style was losing it's dramatic technique, so there you have it. The drama starts here, but there is comic relief within the Akatsuki sections. Naruto has left, and Akatsuki is after him. What disaster will stike? Please Review!!
ATTENTION: It has come to my notice that I do not have any reviews much. My other NaruSaku story, very popular for such a short little thing, has more reviews than this, with less chapters, AND IT IS ONE PAGE LONG ON WORD!!! I am ASHAMED!!! You all know what will happen if I don't get my reviews. NO MORE CHAPTERS! Since this is a pretty cliffy, I want some more reviews or the next chapter will be post-poned. And I'm not telling when I'll bring it out. My goal is 25 reviews. If I don't get my 25, you won't get the next chapter. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this in this story. I will continue to do this if you readers don't review! AND I WANT A WORTHY REVIEW!!! NO MORE OF THIS 'Good Chapter' crap. Give me an actual review!!!!!!!!! What caught your attention? Did I mess up somewhere? YOU DON'T SEE A REVIEW ON A BACK OF ANY BOOK SAYING 'Great Book' DO YOU???? THAT'S WHAT A REVIEW SHOULD LOOK LIKE!!!!!! -pants- Okay...I'm better. Again, Please Review!
Sorry if I got you pissed. But this is really annoying when it seems that you have all these readers, and they can't push a button and say what they liked in the chapter. It gets me upset, and I don't feel the need to write chapters anymore. Nothing motivates me to do so. Look at Spirit That Remains Strong. It had at least 26 reviews by the fifth chapter! Here we are at 18, on the sixth chapter! COME ON PEOPLE!!! okay...my lecture is done.
Please Review!
