I know this fight will be very similar to the Animes, so will the one with Shikamaru and Tayuya. However I still hope you enjoy.
Chapter 46: The Battle of the Beasts! Kiba Vs. Sakon!
"We're running out of time," Said Shikamaru, "We're almost to the border and we still haven't got Sasuke."
"What are we going to do then?" Asked Kiba, "Its Me, Naruto, you and Akamaru against the two. Plus we have no idea what their powers are like. IT seems these guys all have some strange abilities, and if these two are like the others there is no way we can prepare for it fully."
"For once I can't think of a very effective strategy," replied Shikamaru, "So we'll have to take a risk," Shikamaru proceeded to explain the new strategy. The other two nodded as they went to work.
"Orichimaru!" yelled Kabuto as he heard screams coming from Orichimaru's shower. He ran in seeing his blood mixed with the water swirling into the drain of the shower.
"Where is Sasuke-kun?" said Orichimaru in agony, down on his knees in pain.
"There still not here, we have plenty of others you can use while we wait," Said Kabuto.
"It has to be Sasuke!" yelled Orichimaru.
"The Thirds seal was much stronger than expected. We can't wait for Sasuke, if you don't take over a new body soon then everything is lost," retorted Kabuto.
Orichimaru cringed, "Fine, prepare a suitable vessel for me."
"Right away," said Kabuto as he quickly made his way to the dungeon. He flipped a switch there releasing countless prisoners.
"Alright, today we will be letting one of you go, however the one we choose will be the last one standing," smiled Kabuto, "And please hurry before we change our minds," without hesitation the prisoners turned on each other. Though as they fought, Kabuto went to a monitoring room, with several cameras watching the prisoners, in addition to a man laying in a bed connected to many IV's.
"How are you today Kimimaru?" Asked Kabuto with a smile. His only response was a groan, "Orichimaru's new container seems to be running late. I predict the people we sent are having trouble getting Sasuke to us."
"So, I guess that means I, his original choice for container, am never going to recover?" he asked.
"You shouldn't force yourself to talk, your usefulness as a container are gone, all you can do now is rest and hope you recover," said Kabuto.
"If I were to recover then Orichimaru would still have me as a container," Kimimaru asked, "are you sure there is nothing I can do to help Orichimaru anymore?"
"I'm afraid not," said Kabuto, "You are far too sickly to help bring Sasuke back. You are of no use right now," Kimimaru cringed at those words. ORichimaru had done so much for him. He couldn't allow himself to be of no use to him.
"I'll make sure Sasuke gets here," said Kimimaru, forcing his body up, "even if I'm no longer useful as a container, at least I can make sure the new one makes it here," with that Kimimaru made his way out the door, disconnecting all the wires and IV's. As he left Kabuto got a cruel smile on his face.
"That right, expend the remainder of your life to help Orichimaru-Sama," said Kabuto.
"You always were quite cruel Kabuto," said Orichimaru now fully dressed.
"What do you mean?" Kabuto smiled, "I only told him the current condition, it was his own choice to leave."
Orichimaru laughed, "Alright, but on too more pressing matters, is my vessel ready?"
"IT looks like the fight just ended. Go ahead Orichimaru, your container awaits," replied Kabuto. Wasting no time Orichimaru entered the dungeon to take over the survivor.
"Sadly it will be another three years until Orichimaru will have the body he wants," said Kabuto, "But this way we'll have time to strengthen his body some, making him a more suitable container."
Tayuya and Sakon were heading back. They knew they would be in trouble for being late, but they couldn't help it. There had been so many interferences along the way it didn't seem to matter anymore, they were late and knew it.
Suddenly though, Tayuya stopped moving, as did Sakon. From in front of them Naruto leapt at them, grabbing the barrel that held Sasuke.
"Shit!" yelled Tayuya, realizing that she had been grabbed by Shikamaru's shadow. Rather than hold them any longer, Shikamaru released the Jutsu and turned to run with Naruto.
"I'll get them," said Sakon, activating his Cursed seal. The black markings appeared all over his body as he bolted towards Shikamaru and Naruto at high speeds. Just as he was about to catch up, he heard a voice from beneath.
"Garoua ga!" yelled Kiba shooting straight up striking Sakon. Sakon managed to block, but still went up a ways. Suddenly another one came from in front of him striking him back. Another Kiba stood there smiling, but changed back into Akamaru. They smiled as they took off after Naruto and Shikamaru.
"At least that worked out well," smiled Shikamaru, "I was worried about some other abilities that would interfere," however something did interfere. A strange man with long white hair landed on a branch in front of Naruto. Catching Naruto off guard he grabbed the crate and leapt up a few branches.
At this time Tayuya caught up since no one was moving anymore, "you," is all she managed to say.
"Your late Tayuya," said the man, "where are Jiroubou and Kidoumaru?"
"They stayed behind so we could continue," said Sakon, "we didn't need you to come to the rescue Kimimaru."
"You seemed to be failing already," he replied, "I'll get this back, you hold them here."
"You were on your death bed," bitterly said Tayuya, "how is it you managed to get here?"
"I'm here to help Orichimaru, that is all," said Kimimaru.
"Just remember this," she replied, "We are no longer the sound five, you are no longer part of this group."
"This will be my last mission for orichimaru anyway, so there is no need for me to be involved with you, just hold these three off while I go bring the container to Orichimaru-sama," he replied. Tayuya and Sakon nodded as he took off. Naruto quickly jumped after him.
Tayuya attempted to follow but quickly flipped back, seeing Shikamaru's shadow come at her. Sakon didn't even try, as Akamaru had transformed back into the Kiba clone and was ready to intercept Sakon if he tried to follow.
"You take the shadow guy and I'll handle Dog boy," said Sakon as he jumped down to the ground with Kiba. Tayuya only nodded, activated her cursed Seal. She eyed Shikamaru as she reached for her weapon.
Kiba, Akamaru, and Sakon all landed on the ground, "We were hoping no one would interfere with us to make the job easier, but it would seem that with you guys here Kimimaru was forced to come."
"Don't worry about them," smiled Kiba, "you have us to deal with now," and then Kiba and Akamaru charged in together. Sakon quickly went defensive to get an Idea of how his enemy fought. Akamaru flipped behind Sakon, and they began to attack simultaneously. Though quickly Kiba noticed something was wrong. Many attacks were hitting directly, but Sakon didn't seem effected. Sakon was about to launch a counter, but Kiba and Akamaru jumped away before that could happen.
"So, you noticed then?" smiled Sakon, "Your attacks seemed to be blocked but you saw a direct hit, let me show you why," he smiled as a hand seemed to grow out of his chest, "Say hello to my brother Ukon," With that a head grew out of his shoulder, however this ones skin seemed darker and harder with a horn coming out of his head.
"Lets finish this quickly Sakon," Ukon said, "Use Level two."
"Alright, but I think your being a little hasty brother," Sakon smiled as the entire body morphed.
"What the hell are you?" Kiba said.
"My brother hear lives inside my body," smiled Sakon, "While their he can attack and defend for me, though at this level your no match for us."
"Oh yeah?" Kiba, "Lets go Akamaru! Garoua ga!" the two spun at them in the whirlwind like attack, hey managed to dodge Akamaru, but Kiba had charged at their new location, not giving them time to dodge that attack. However four hands emerged, blocking it. The defense was enough to halt Garoua ga
"Nice try," smiled the brothers as four fists rapidly pummeled Kiba at highs speeds when thee spinning stopped, "but you lose," however Akamaru quickly came to the rescue. Still in the human form, Akamaru jumped at the brothers and delivered a hard kick to one of their heads, making them release Kiba who quickly rolled back. Akamaru, however, was grabbed by a hand by the throat and slammed into the ground. Akamaru changed back into a dog and was hurled at Kiba, who caught him and jumped back.
"Akamaru, are you all right?" Kiba said. Akamaru barked a few times.
"These guys are powerful, how can we beat them?" Kiba said becoming extremely worried. Akamaru replied with a bark, "You can't be serious, that Jutsu uses too much power, if it doesn't work we're goners with no one else around!"
Akamaru, not wanting to hear it, bit Kiba's foot. Kiba winced a bit and smiled, Bit by my own dog. Do I really look that pathetic right now?
"Alright Akamaru, lets do it, Go!" Yelled Kiba, "Garoua Ga!" and with that Akamaru jumped into the air as Kiba charged forward with Garoua Ga. However he stopped it just out of their range of attack. Since they didn't pay attention to Akamaru, they were hit by dog piss from Akamaru above. Kiba took the opportunity to jump over them where Akamaru landed.
"Dog Piss!" yelled Sakon, "I'll get you for this!"
"To late, Inuzuki style human beast Morph! Two headed wolf!" with that Akamaru and Kiba disappeared in a puff of smoke, and from the smoke rose a large two headed dog that looked like Akamaru.
"The only difference now is you're a large two headed drooling beast, we'll still beat you," smiled Ukon.
"Don't underestimate me," came Kiba's voice, "Garouga!" he yelled out and spun forward, in an attack that looked like Garoua ga. Sakon and Ukon easily dodged, but felt a force hit them, the spinning created an external force that could damage even if a direct attack misses. However the spinning giant quickly turned and hit them directly, "Gotcha! I direct attack from Garouga will rip you in pieces!"
"Good," came Sakon's voice from the cloud of dust they landed in, we were thinking of splitting up anyway," he smiled as the smoke cleared, revealing the brothers had split up. However Sakons right arm and leg almost looked like it was Jagged stone in the shape of the limbs, as did Ukons left arm and leg.
"But how?" yelled the giant dog.
"If he hadn't split up just then we would be in ribbons," smiled Ukon.
"But since we were splitting when hit, it only blew the two of us away from each other," finished Sakon.
"Damn it," said Kiba to himself, "We only got on shot left," and with that he charged in the Garouga again, they jumped behind rubble to hid but only heard, "In the Garouga we loose our sense of sight do to the spinning, but that's why Akamaru pissed on you, so we could track you!" and with that he ripped right through the stone, but to no avail. The brothers had completely dodged barely getting cut by the shockwave of Garouga.
"Looks like you lose," smiled Sakon as he swung a punch at Kiba. However Akamaru jumped in front of the attack and got hit hard on the underbelly, but before he went down he pissed in Sakon's eyes.
Akamaru landed hard behind Kiba while Sakon screamed out, "This piss isn't normal, its burning my eyes, brother, I'm going to go wash this out, take care of the rest."
"Alright," came a voice right next to Kiba. He turned around and saw Ukons head on his shoulders. Kiba began shaking in fear, wondering what was going on.
"What are you doing to me?" Kiba said.
"Quite simple, at level two I can merge by body to you by breaking down my cells and intertwining them into your system," he smiled, "But don't get me wrong, my cells move freely throughout your body. I can break down your organs any way I see fit, perfect for assassinations. So for now, we share the same body."
Kiba got an Idea and did some hand seals. He then pulled out a kunai and stabbed himself in the gut. Both him and Ukon let out a painful yell.
"What are you doing?" Ukon yelled.
"So, that hurts does it?" well what if I do this, and Kiba stabbed at his heart with his Kunai. Ukon knew his advantage was not being able to get hurt while in this technique, but the disadvantage was the one way to get hurt, if the enemy hurt themselves he would suffer the same injuries. He quickly pulled out of the body, realizing he made it in time. However when he turned around he quickly put up his stone like arm to block an attack. Kiba charged him directly with Garoua ga. Ukon was sent back a good distance feeling great pain. When he looked at Kiba barely standing he realized there was no injury on his chest.
"But how?" Ukon asked, "You couldn't have stopped your movement fast enough to avoid injury."
"Simple, the Brittle Jutsu," Kiba managed to smile, revealing a small bit of metal powder in his hand, "Generally its used to make an enemies small metal tools useless, but using it on my own Kunai after the first strike forced you out thinking you were about to die, and breaking into a powder when it strikes me."
"Smart," came Sakon's voice, "Looks like he almost got you brother, join with me and I'll finish this," barely moving Ukon fused with his brother again. Kiba needed to move so he threw a Kunai which was blocked by Sakons stone arm, but a smoke ball was attached and exploded. When it cleared Kiba had already ran with Akamaru.
"Dammit," cursed Sakon, "looks like I'll have to search for him the heard way," Sakon went searching through the forest for Kiba. At one point he saw a rock near the river he washed his eyes out in. Sticking out from the rock was a part of Kiba's coat. He quickly jumped at it, but it was empty, "So he escaped in the river to cover his tracks. This guys tricky."
Kiba was sitting behind a rock a ways down river. He couldn't smell anyone coming so he looked at Akamaru, "I'm sorry Akamaru, but at least we're safe for now."
"Guess again," said Sakon jumping down in front of him in Kiba's Jacket.
"Dammit, he hid his smell with my Jacket," Kiba said smiling weakly, "I guess this is the end Akamaru, I'm sorry I couldn't save you."
Don't you just love the cliff hanger? Anyway, sorry this one took a while to update. I was busy and when writing I wanted to make sure I had a good amount of difference from the Manga's version of the fight. Hope you enjoyed. Next update should be coming soon.
