I bring you the beginning of the Sasuke Retrieval mission as told by corncracker. Please enjoy. I just edited in the name of Kiba's technique.

Chapter 43: Of a Butterfly and a Demon, Choiji Vs. Jiroubou.

"Crap, we used to much energy," Tayuya said as they stopped for camp.

"What do you expect, they were Jounin level, we didn't have a choice but to go level two," Jiroubou said.

"Shut up fatty," Tayuya said.

"Listen, we don't want an argument here. Lets just rest for a while, we'll be behind schedule but we don't have a Choice," Said Sakon.

"Yeah, listening to you two bicker gets old," Kidoumaru said. Sakura only sat their saying nothing. It was only a matter of time before ANBU were after them now.

"Genma! Raidou!" said Iwasha. He had went to check on them and they had taken a while. They were both bloodied up pretty bad.

"We have to tell Hayate," Cringed Genma.

"They have a runaway leaf Nin with them," said Raidou.

"Alright, I'll get you back as soon as I can," said Iwasha, picking the two up over his shoulder and running them back to Kohona.

The Genin Team sent to retrieve Sasuke were on the move, however Kiba slowed down and said, "It seems that they stopped a bit ahead of us to rest. What should we do Shikamaru?"

"First off, HInata," said Shikamaru, "for now we'll put you behind Kiba, that way you can point out traps easier. Then this is the plan," Shikamaru proceeded to explain the plan to them.

The sound four were sitting around a fire, not expecting anyone to come for them for a while longer, giving them plenty of time. However their peaceful rest was cut short. Suddenly a large mass rolled straight through to them. They all were caught off guard, Jiroubou still had the crate as him and Tayuya jumped to the left, the other two too the right.

From each side came a giant twirling mass, Tayuya and Jiroubou to jump apart, the same thing with Kidoumaru and Sakon. Suddenly however Jiroubou's body stopped moving, "What the hell is wrong with my body?" he yelled. Suddenly Naruto jumped through the tree's and grabbed the barrel.

He stopped and looked at Sakura for an instant before jumping off. They knew they couldn't get both, but hoped if they had Sasuke Sakura would come back on her own. He jumped off, as did Choiji and Kiba. Kidoumaru and Sakon tried to move, but suddenly Kunai went flying at them and they instead jumped back. Tayuya and Jiroubou tried the same, but the same thing happened to them. Shino and Hinata had thrown their Kunai from the trees, and quickly made an escape, however Kidoumaru smiled as spat out what looked like webbing and it attached to the crate, ripping it from Naruto's hands and bringing it back to him.

"Nice try," smiled Kidoumaru, "but you'll have to do better than that to get us."

"Dammit," said Shikamaru as the group gathered in front of the enemy Shinobi, "at least we have a six," akamaru barked, "seven on four advantage."

"You mean seven of five," Sakura said pulling out a kunai, "I'm sorry, but I promised Sasuke I would help him achieve his goal, and if it means abandoning my village and betraying my friends, so be it."

"Sakura," Naruto said with his head dropped, unable to think of anything to say.

"Enough of this, Earth Prison Jutsu!" yelled Jiroubou as he did some seals and slammed his hands into the ground. Suddenly a giant rock barrier formed around the Genin Team.

"Good job Jiroubou, you stay here a while and when your done here meat back up with us," said Kidoumaru.

"Alright, I'll just finish absorbing their Chakra before," he smiled sinisterly.

"What!" yelled Naruto, "This barrier is absorbing our Chakra while we're in it?" yelled Naruto. No response could be heard, "Dammit, we have to get out of here.

"I'll get us out," smiled Kiba, "Gouru Ga!" with that Kiba and Akamaru suddenly flew at the walls, however it looked like two spinning vortexes rappidly smashing into the walls. However the walls simple regenerated themselves.

The two stopped and began panting, "Dammit, I might have to use my new technique to get through this."

"No need," smiled Shikamaru, "I have an easier way to get out. Hinata, examine that part of the wall over their," he said pointing the opposite side of the wall Jiroubou was one."

Hinata nodded and activated the Byakuugen, "The Chakra concentration is much weaker their than the rest of the barrier."

"Choiji, you bring those soldier pills?" Shikamaru asked, Choiji only responded by pulling out a bag and handing everyone a pill, "Good, you know what to do,"

"Right, Meat Tank Jutsu!" yelled Choiji, slamming through the part of the wall Hinata examined, and ripped right through. They all ran out and Kiba looked at Shikamaru.

"How did you know it was that part of the wall?" Kiba asked.

"It regenerated slower than the rest after you hit it, so I assumed that it would be the weak spot in the wall," smiled Shikamaru.

"No, Choiji and Kiba, you two stay back and Handle this guy, the rest of us will pursue the target," Shikamaru said.

"Go!" yelled Choiji as he attacked alone, "I'll handle him by myself, the rest of you need to go on ahead!"

"No way Choiji!" yelled Naruto, "Your probably the weakest one here! You can't win alone!"

"Boulder Strike!" yelled Jiroubou striking Choiji hard sending him back a good distance.

"Please," he said, "I have a secret weapon," Choiji smiled and pulled out a small pill case holding a green, yellow, and red pill."

"But that..." Shikamaru couldn't finish.

"Listen, these guys are strong, I'll stop him here. All of you will need to move foreword if we are to succeed, please Shikamaru," and with that Choiji swallowed the green pill. He charged again, though this time the two started Grappling, and Choiji overpowered Jiroubou and hurled him into a tree, and then threw Shikamaru his bag of soldier pills.

"Alright," said Shikamaru, "But whatever you do don't swallow the red one and catch up soon. Lets go guys."

The group reluctantly jumped after Shikamaru and Naruto said, "What was up with those pills?" asked Naruto.

"It's a trump card in the Akimichi clan, is like a more powerful version of a soldier pill, with those he might be able to win," Shikamaru said almost regrettably, he wanted to avoid the situation of one on one fights, but it seemed as though they had no choice now, "Lets hurry, Choiji will catch up," they all nodded and continued to follow the trail of the sound four.

"You pack quite a punch don't you," said Jiroubou standing up, "but how long can you keep it up."

"You wont beat me," said Choiji, who suddenly grabbed his side in pain. I didn't think it would hurt this much, Choiji though, I'll have to end this fast. Choiji pulled out an odd item from his bag and placed it around his neck. It consisted of several spiked straps, "Spiked Meat Tank!" he yelled, the straps expanding with him in size creating a large ball of meat with spikes. He rolled right into Jiroubou pinning him into a tree. However the spinning suddenly stopped and Choiji went flying backwards. He struck another tree and went back to normal.

"Thought that would actually work?" smiled Jiroubou, who's body was covered in strange markings, much like Sasukes when they were in the forest of death, "didn't think I'd have to waste my power on a fat piece of trash like you."

"Don't call me fat," said Choiji who pulled out the second pill and swallowed it, "you'll regret it. Partial Multi Size Jutsu! Arm!" and suddenly Choiji's arm extended to Jiroubou and struck him square in the face, knocking him down, "Now the Leg!" his arm retracted and his leg grew enormous as he raised it up and sent it crashing down on Jiroubou. He managed to roll away, but when he did Choiji extended his arm and pinned him to the ground.

"No I'll end this," Said Choiji jumping up, using his arm as a sort of poll vault, holding himself high above Jiroubou, "Massive Multi Size Jutsu!" he yelled, and his entire body grew to enormous proportions. He crushed Jiroubou beneath him, his size from his stomach to back extending twice as high as the tree's. Choiji smiled for a moment, but he quickly lost it.

"Don't think trash like you can beat me," Came a voice from underneath him. Suddenly the massive form of Choiji began to lift off the ground. Jiroubou was smiling wickedly was he held him up in one hand. However this time his hair had grown over his whole head, his skin turned brown and occasional bumps were seen over his entire body, "What a waste you use level 2 on trash like you," he tossed Choiji up, and then Choiji lost the Jutsu, landing on the ground. Though it seemed as he lost a bit of weight after the use of that pill. Just enough to be noticeable.

Those pills, Choiji began thinking to himself, Convert the fat cells of my clans bodies into pure Chakra, yet even after the second pill this guy is stronger than me. If I use the third pill, the red pepper pill, I'll be able to win, but at the cost of my life. Its effects won't stop until there is nothing left of me.

"How pitiful," Jiroubou smiled picking up Choiji, "Sad, there isn't even enough Chakra left in you to absorb. Do you know why trash like you is on a team? To keep behind too delay an enemy, your too weak to be of any use in a real fight. That's why that pathetic leader of yours ditched you to fight me," Jiroubou threw Choiji too the ground.

"That's not true," Choiji said as he watched Jiroubou turn around and leave. Choiji pulled out the last pill, "I'm sorry Shikamaru," he said swallowing it. Jiroubou walked on triumphantly, however he noticed a glowing blue butterfly go past his face and then another, then he felt a force of energy grow behind him. There stood Choiji, his size had shrunk quite a bit, and beautiful glowing blue butterfly wings had sprouted from his back.

"Don't you ever insult my friends," he said looking at Jiroubou.

"I was going to let you live, but now your just pissing me off trash, Boulder Strike!" Jiroubou punched at Choiji, but Choiji blocked the attack with his hand, "What the hell?"

"Its no use, I'm a hundred times stronger than before," Choiji followed up with a punch to Jiroubou's gut. He bent over in pain as Choiji said, "That was for calling me fat.

"Where the hell did this power come from," Jiroubou groaned.

"This if for insulting Shikamaru!" Choiji yelled, grabbing Jiroubou by the throat and flipping him over into the ground on his back.

"Dammit, how can I lose to trash like you," he forced out in pain.

"Because, I"m not trash. Shikamaru left me to beat you because he believes in me like no one else would, and because of that, this last hit will be larger than life," With that Choiji gathered all the energy his body had left into his right hand, which began glowing a bright blue, "the truth is you're the Trash Fat Ass!" and he punched with all his might Jiroubou's chest, shattering his rip cage and crushing his heart. The force of the blow created a foot deep crater beneath them.

A Jiroubou died, the power quickly faded from Choiji, who was now thinner than an average person. He dragged his feet towards the direction Shikamaru and the others went off in, "I'm sorry Shikamaru," Choiji said beginning to cry, "I said I would catch up, but it looks like that won't happen," he continued to drag himself until he saw a tree with some writing on it.

He began reading it aloud,"Hurry up and Come, That must be Naruto," Choiji smiled, "We're all Waiting, Kiba. Arigoto, Choiji, Probably Hinata. Hurry up, Shino," Choiji only began crying more as he saw the last one, it wasn't a phrase but an arrow pointing the way they went, "I'm so sorry I couldn't make it. Thank you for everything Shikamaru, you were my best friend."

Choiji had ran home crying from the playground. They had just told him he couldn't play Ninja's with them because he was a fat weakling, "Dad, why is it that everyone hates our clan so much?"

"They don't understand, That's all son. But don't worry, one day, you'll find a person who will accept you, and they will become your dearest friend," his father smiled.

"Hey, Choiji was it?" came a voice walking in.

"Why didn't you stay and play Ninja with the others?" sniffed Choiji.

"Its like Shoiji, its no fun if both sides don't have the same number of pieces. You want to go stare at the clouds or something?" he asked.

"Sure, I got the snacks, what's your name?" asked Choiji.

"Its Nara Shikamaru, lets go," they smiled and walked off.

Choiji smiled as he collapsed into the tree, "Dad, I've made lots of friends, Thank you all for believing in me," he then clutched his chest as he slid down the tree and landed on the ground, his arm dropped to his side, now almost nothing but skin and bone.

The rest of the Genin hopped through the trees, the Shikamaru's face suddenly filled with shock. Floating beside his head he spotted a beautiful glowing blue butterfly.

"What is it Shikamaru?" asked Naruto,

"Its nothing," Shikamaru said as they proceeded after the Sound Ninja.
