"So, my jailer finally comes and visits me, huh?" a voice spoke, it was deep and close to a roar, which made Naruto's ears hurt. He looked down, he stood knee deep in a muckish green water which was also kind of warm and not to mention absolutely gross. "Eugh, where am I?" Around him were the cement walls of a sewer pipe, yep that definetely proved it, he was standing in a sewer of all things. "But wasn't I going to fight those two old guys and save Nee-san?" He was throughly confused, "And what was that red chakra?" He thought about it a more while slogging forwards through the dirty, vile water and came up with only one possible explanation, he was in a genjutsu of some sort casted by the old guys. He smirked to himself, good thing kaa-san taught him how to break through a Genjutsu. Closing off all his chakra pathways, he quickly re-opened them with a sharp push of chakra, nothing happened, "Hey! It didn't work!"
"It's no use boy, this isn't a Genjutsu so you can't escape from it like it's a Genjutsu. Now come here so we can talk face to face," The voice boomed again. Naruto turned, there was nobody around him, only the rushing water which pushed him forward mercilessly. A paticularly hard blast of water hit him and pushed him forwards through the pipes far faster than what he was going, depositing him with a splash in front of a giant cage. Coughing and sluttering, Naruto stood up shakily, shaking the water out from his hair and ears. Finally after his vision stopped spinning did he look up, right into the giant teeth of a grinning fox.
Surprised, he jumped, only to fall and land on his butt. "Oww..." He groaned, rubbing his sore backside gingerly. The fox let out a barking laugh, unable to control himself, he continued until Naruto finally had enough of being laughed at and walked right up to the cage, intent on giving the giant creature a piece of his mind.
"Hey! It's not funny!"
"To you it isn't but to me, that was the best laugh I've had in years!" another round of laughter was heard before Naruto got impatient waiting for him to shut up.
"No it isn't you damn fox, now who are you, and where am I?" Naruto demanded, outright cross and angry with the giant fox.
"Who am I? Why I'm the great Kyuubi no Yoko, Demon Lord of all the Bijuu and demons, and where are you? Why the stupid boy can't even reconize it, it's your own mind, stupid!" Kyuubi growled the last bit out before transforming into a man. The man was 6'2 tall, heavily muscled and had an overly sized executioner's blade strapped to his back. Naruto gulped, the man looked even scarier than before when he was a giant fox.
"If you're the oh-so-great Kyuubi, then why are you here in my mind? And behind these bars too!" Naruto taunted him, not realizing the trouble he was getting into.
Before he could react, the giant executioner's blade was extended past the bars, its blade at his throat. He gulped nervously, edging away from the giant pointy blade. "Do not mock me boy, or I may just have to cut your tongue off, I'm sure you can live without a tongue, or maybe a hand, or a leg." Kyuubi snarled, making sure the boy's fear of him imprinted that into his mind forever. Resheathing the blade to his back he continued speaking, "I am here because the damned Yondaime Hokage sealed me here and I cannot escape....unless," he grinned evilly, "You rip that seal off this blasted cage." Kyuubi pointed to the giant paper seal that was holding him prisoner, and the only thing keepin him from getting out and going on his rampage.
Naruto glared at him, those words lighting a fire in him, he couldn't stand people like Kyuubi, "You're just a big bully! And I can't stand bullies, ecpecially when they pick on people because they're oh so better than them!" He crossed his arms over his chest, "I'm not going to rip that seal off, if you're so great, rip it off yourself!" Realizing what he had just said, Naruto clapped both hands over his mouth in horror of what he had just said.
Kyuubi glared at the boy, the silence was unbearable for Naruto, would Kyuubi eat him, or dice him with that giant blade? He was rooted to the spot with fear but all his instincts screamed at him to run, he was expecting some kind of torture involving spikey things but definetly not expecting for Kyubi to chuckle then explode in full out laughter. "Oh man, I haven't seen someone stand up to me like that in ages, especially when they're so underneath me! The last one I think was Shukaku, and he ran with his tail between his legs!" Kyuubi finally stopped laughing to wipe a tear from his eye.
"I like you boy, so don't get on my bad side, but oh man!" Kyuubi let another chuckle escape from his lips before vanishing into the depths of his cage, his laughter still echoing off the walls. Naruto stared after the retreating form until slowly his vision became blurrier and blurrier and then black.
When Tsubasa woke up, the first thing he noticed was that his head hurt...not too bad, just a little throb at the back of his head, but often a slightly more harsh spike of pain reminded him that it was still there. Shaking his head to clear out the fuzz from his vision, he stood up slowly, making sure he was balanced and wouldn't fall back down right away. The second thing he noticed was that there was a giant black gate in front of him, beyond it he could see fires burning brightly and screams of pain which he didn't paticularly like. He walked up to the gate but before he got too close, a giant form and a feriocious roar stopped him right in his tracks.
In front of him stood a giant three headed dog with really sharp teeth, drool dripped from its jowls and formed something a little short of a pond in front of it. Around each head's neck was a black studded collar which was polished to the point where it gleamed like a diamond. To say this dog was dangerous was an understatement.
A voice rang out clear, amongst the growling of the three heads, "Down Ceberus!"
Immeadietly, the dog shut up and lay on the floor its tail wagging back and forth happily. A man walked towards them, when or where did he appear, Tsubasa had no idea, he was just suddenly there. "Sorry about that, it's Ceberus' job to keep people who aren't supposed to go into Hell out and keep the souls inside in, and sometimes he get's just a tad protective." The man petted the beast's left head like it was nothing and the head that was being petted panted happily. Suddenly the beast shrank and split into three normal size canines, a wolf, a German shep and a Malamute. The three formed a protective triangle around the man.
"I have no name but everyone calls me Guardian," the man said scratching the wolf behind its ears absentmindedly.
"Why am I here?" Tsubasa asked cautiously, still transfixed by the dogs' change in appearance.
"Because you have been chosen," was the simple reply.
"Chosen for what?" Tsubasa pressed.
"Chosen to contain the power of Cerberus, because he has to keep those who are in Hell in, and those outside and don't belong out, he has had go toe to toe with the Bijuu, over the countless times he's battled them, he has grown very powerful. Well he isn't stronger than the Bijuu...but he has the ability to control the Bijuu, and often the Jichuuriki may lose control when they use all their tails or majority, therefore, you can step in an take control of those extra tails they cannot handle so the Jinchuuriki may gain control over themselves once again," the man answered, a frown appearing upon his face, "It seems you are needed, it's time to wake up now little one."
"Wake up?-" he was cut off as his vision began to darken once more.
Both Naruto and Tsubasa stirred at the same time before sitting up and locking eyes with each other. A split second, silent conversation was made between them, neither knew what the other said but suddenly knew exactly what to do.
With a gutteral roar, Naruto rushed forwards, a glowing red hand of chakra shooting out towards Danzo. But the old man was prepared, unconvering his left eye, he revealed a fully developed Sharingan and stared the chakra hand down. Slowly the chakra receded back into Naruto, leaving Naruto with no protection. "Hmph, Kyuubi won't work on me boy," he scoffed, so the boy was a one trick pony, how unamusing.
Suddenly the chakra returned with twice the force, it appeared with an explosion of killer intent, enough to drive Yahiko flat on the ground. Danzo's knees shook slightly, but he regained a grip on himself quickly, he was a vetern on the field of battle, this was nothing new to him. Again, he tried to suppress the Kyuubi with his Sharingan but found nothing was working. "What..?"
"Sorry old man, but nobody's telling my brother's chakra how to act but me and him," Tsubasa grinned widely, his hand covered in the black chakra had drawn a black gate on his brother's neck, the gate glowed white as Tsubasa fought off Danzo's Sharingan's supression.
Naruto grinned demonically as his power returned to him with a rush, resummoning his hand of chakra, he easily grabbed Konan and Nagato, extending the arms so they stood safely away from the giant Salamander. While he was doing this, a wave of paper directed by Tsubasa carried Yahiko to join the other two.
Not willing to lose to a bunch of snot-nosed-brats, Hanzo ordered his Salamander to throw them off and then attack them. The Salamander did as told, throwing the two high up in the air before knocking them away with its tail. Not finished with them yet, it flicked its tongue out at Tsubasa.
"Woah! Gross!" Tsubasa exclaimed as the tongue grabbed him and wrapped him up as it retracted towards the Salamander's gaping mouth.
"Don't you dare eat my brother!" Naruto snarled, more chakra exploded behind him and formed a full nine tails, suddenly he transformed into the full Kyuubi, down to the very last fang in it's gaping mouth. With one of his tails, he caught the Salamander's tongue in an iron grip.
"Do what you need Kyuubi, just ensure my brother stays safe..." Naruto told the fox before he receded to the back to take a nap.
"Ha! This is going to be fun! I haven't done this in years!" Kyuubi cackled, overflowing with the exhileration of being out and about again.
Miles away in Sorauzugakure, everyone trembled in fear at the sudden appearance of such a strong killing intent and chakra. Kenji had dispatched several squadrons of hunter-nin to investigate and was tyring to assure Kushina that everything would be all right.
"No it isn't going to be alright Kenji! This has to be the Kyuubi, it has to be! I'd reconize it from halfway across the Elemental Countries Kenji! The Kyuubi would only appear if Naruto's life was at stake, otherwise it would be supressed by the seal! And if so, only a little bit of its chakra would appear! This is the full blown nine tails! It means Naruto is dead!" She realized what she had just said and ignoring Kenji's cries after her, she leapt out of the window, intent on heading to where this battle was taking place.
Kyuubi grappled with the giant summon, and was currently in a of a deadlock. He had four out of his nine tails wrapped around the Salamander's jaw, who knew that the freaking thing had so powerful jaws? He nearly lost his one of his tails when he tried the same trick with a single tail. One of the other tails was restraining the Salamander's own tail, who kept trying to hit the ground with it and create an earthquake that would most likely hit his Jinchuuriki's village, not something Naruto would be too happy about if Sorauzugakure was destroyed. He had the other four tails wrapped around the Salamander's four limbs in an attempt to slow it down while he prepared a Jutsu.
"Oni Katon: Oni Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" (1) A large blackish red fireball hit the Salamander dead on, in which the creature writhed in pain and agony.
On top of the Salamander's head, Tsubasa was dealing with the two old guys. He was covered lizard spit which wasn't too pleasant and now this old guy was pointing a katana at him, oh the nerve of these people! Sighing, Tsubasa shook his head tiredly, "These guys are a real pain in the neck, you deal with them Tobi, I'm too tired to." He said this more to himself than anyone else. His eyes rolled back in his head for the second time that day only for them to snap straight back into focus.
"Oooh you made Tsubasa mad! Now you get to play with Tobi!" he rummaged through the pouch on his hip and pulled out his orange swirly mask, sticking it on his face.
With a swirl of paper, Tobi vanished, the the two old men turned, looking for the boy. Suddenly a swarm of paper cranes, all which were on fire materialized out of nowhere and shot at full speed towards them. Shaking his head, Hanzo ran through a set of handseals, "Suiton:Suijinheki!" A wall of water formed in front of them, protecting from the flaming projectiles. The water wall protected them from the worst of the attack but still the paper cranes made it through the wall, the flames doused of course. The two were forced to jump up above the wall in order to dodge the projectiles.
"Gotcha!" Tobi reappeared in a swirl of paper, grinning cheekily under his mask, which nobody could see. A large blast of fire at Hanzo sent the man flying backwards, enough to keep him occupied for a short period of time, which was all Tobi would need to deal with Danzo...hopefully.
"Hi Bunshin no Jutsu!" (2) Tobi grinned as several copies of him appeared, completely made of flame so destroying them would prove pretty painful. Without another word, all of them dashed forwards, throwing flaming paper shurikan ahead of them and igniting their arms on fire.
Danzo cursed and deflected the paper shurikan, but he was in for a nasty surprise when as soon as the paper touched his sword it exploded, revealing them to be exploding tags set to detonate upon touch instead of paper shurikan which he originally assumed they were. Cursing his luck, he evaded the majority of them, save two, which exploded when it touched the edge of his cloak, lighting that on fire, forcing him to discard the piece of cloth or be burned and the other which hit the hilt of his sword, completely destroying the hilt and rendering his right hand useless with the explosion. One of the tags had exploded near his left ear and he was pretty sure that the ear drum in that ear was shot, so he was at a disadvantage at this point. Although he didn't really want to flee and therefore admit defeat to this litte brat but he was left with no choice, either that or die. Choosing wisely, he preformed a long distance shunshin and got out of there real quick.
When the explosion of the smoke cleared, Tobi found that Danzo had gone, leaving his smoldering cloak and his damaged sword, satisfied with the response from the old man, Tobi didn't see the kick coming at his head until it was too late. Hanzo was hiding in the smoke and using the smoke as a cover, he leapt out with a kick, catching the boy off guard. The effect was instantaneous and disasterous. He had kicked a Hi Bunshin in the head, resulting in it dispelling. As his kick passed halfway into its head, it turned into a blast of fire, which the original leapt back from. This blast of fire hit the remainin clones which had already surrounded Hanzo and was caught in the blast, the blast dispelled the remainder of the clones, creating a giant inferno.
After the fire died down, all that was left was a severly injured Hanzo, suffering from severe third-degree burns. At this point the hunter-nins had arrived on scene and were busy tending to Nagato, Konan and Yahiko. The Salamander dispelled itself after its summoner was defeated. Seeing that there was no point in sticking around any longer, Kyuubi vanished back into Naruto, Kushina who had just arrived on scene catching her son. The black chakra surrounding Tobi receded and Tobi collapsed due to running too much chakra through his chakra coils at a rate that he couldn't handle for prolonged periods of time.
Seeing her brother fall from the dispelled summon's back, Konan summoned up what chakra she had left and created a little platform of paper, barely big enough to carry Tobi and tried to set him down onto the ground as gently as possible. Once he landed on the ground with a thump, Konan let out a sigh of relief, she had honestly thought that her little platform would disperse halfway down or make it worse. Immeadietly, hunter-nin and several medic-nin that were in the squads of ninja sent swarmed over everybody, making sure they were going to be okay. Two hunter-nin picked up the burnt form of Hanzo and shunshined him to the village, he was going to spend some time in the OR and with the IT division...make that...alot of time.
1) Oni Katon: Oni Goukakyuu no Jutsu - Demonic Fire Style: Demon Grand Fireball Jutsu
