Kakashi threw the two bodies into a pile and cleaned his hands. He looked over to his team and gave them a tired smile.
"Ah, nice work everyone."
Team 7 grinned and Hikari and Sakura gave each other a high five. Sasuke only smirked and mentally went on to think about how cool he was. The Demon Brothers had been tough opponents, but they had kicked ass. Well, Kakashi had anyway, he did most of the fighting. Kakashi looked over at Tazuna and gave him a thumbs up; the threat was cleared.
"All right everyone," Tazuna barked, "Back to work."
No, 'Yes Sirs' or 'Yeah Yeah' met his ears. Tazuna looked around the construction site. It was completely deserted.
"Huh, those cowards ran off! There goes a days worth of work!" Tazuna turned to the group. "Ah, we'll start work again tomorrow, I guess we can just go back to the house."
Suddenly a large mist covered the area, and a small whizzing sound was heard. A senbon nearly struck Tazuna's ear. Everyone tensed up and rushed to form a circle around Tazuna. Kakashi was trying to sense where the killers were, even though it was unsuccessful.
'Damn, I do not want another fight right now!' Kakashi wanted to kick something
An unfriendly sight greeted Nanashi's eyes. The bridge was looking worse for wear, while Sasuke and Hikari seemed to be trapped in impossibly large ice mirrors. Kakashi was battling some missing Nin, or whom he thought was a missing nin, and Sakura was protecting Tazuna. Of course, this wouldn't bother Nanashi, if it weren't for the fact that they were blocking the exit! He had two options at this point, go through Kakashi or take his chances with the ice mirrors. Another way was going under the bridge, but the water was artic cold in this weather, so that was instant death. He could try to walk on the water, but the chance that he would fall was to great, because his chakra control wasn't exactly the best thing ever. After a few seconds of mental debate, he chose to go through the mirrors, in hope that he could slip by unnoticed.
"Here goes nothing." He took a speedy dash towards the side mirrors, only to notice a senbon coming after him. He tried to jump over it, but the senbon still pierced his foot. "Shit!" However it was too late, he had crashed into the arena.
Sasuke and Hikari looked on in surprise as he tumbled into the arena, wondering how he escaped in the first place. The masked Nin seemed not to care about the intrusion, for he began to start to pelt all three of them, his arms looking like blurs.
"I apologize to all three of you, but I can not allow you to interfere with Zabuza-san's plans. He is my important person." The masked Nin now began to work even faster; the needles were piercing the group mercilessly.
From Nanashi's side, he heard Sasuke cry, "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!" He watched as the fire clashed with the ice. However, the fire had failed to melt the ice mirrors. Sasuke let out a few choice words as the missing nin threw even more senbon at him.
'Their has to be a way out of these mirrors!' Nanashi's mind was racing as three senbon pierced his shoulder. Now, what happened next would always be a bit fuzzy to Nanashi. He could vaguely hear Hikari cry, "SASUKE!" He looked over to the group and saw that Sasuke had been impaled by over 50 senbon, or was it more? He couldn't remember.
'One man down,' Nanashi thought vaguely. However, that small moment when he took his eyes off the masked Nin, he too was impaled by the vicious senbon. Nanashi raised his arms, but it was to late; the senbon had pierced his body everywhere. Nanashi winced, but couldn't stop the onslaught of senbon as they continued to attack him. He didn't even have time to make seals. Nanashi felt like his insides were being torn up, and he just couldn't defend himself.
'No, I can't die here! I still have something to do!' was Nanashi's last thought before he passed out.
Nanashi awoke in a large, dark, and damp corridor. His heart was racing as he looked around the corridor. He began to walk down it, acting on pure instinct. His footsteps echoed around the walls, and after walking for two minutes, he came upon a large gate, with a single piece of paper in the middle of it. He walked towards the gate, his feet with a mind of their own. However, he heard a large growl, and jumped back seconds before gigantic claws struck out of the gate.
"Who is this? Who dares disturb me for my slumber! Who dares disturb the Kyuubi no Kitsune!" roared an enormous beast, its large eyes leering at Nanashi.
Nanashi stood impassively, but his eyes betrayed his true emotions; fear. Now, what was this large thing, and why was he here? Nanashi just couldn't grasp how on earth he could possibly be here. He was supposed to be dead, no?
"Speak, you foolish mortal! Do not think I will spare you just because you are young!" The beast's eyes lowered and its face pressed against the bars. It was revealed to be a large fox. It looked unearthly due to its slight transparency and bubbly shape.
Nanashi cleared his throat and replied with a slightly trembling voice, however, his gaze was fierce "My name is Urumaki Nanashi." He gave a steep bow, "A pleasure to meet you, The Great Kyuubi no Kitsune." Now, Nanashi was no genius, but he knew when to be respectful, especially when his life was on the line. "Now, I would like to know, that is, if you know, why I'm here."
"Yes, I know! You were about to die! Now, you may wonder, 'Why does that matter? Why am I not dead!' Ha, because if you die, I die. Now, do you really think I would want to die in you, a human? Now, when you die of old age, the cage will be broken, and I will go free. Your body will be too frail to repel me!" The Kyuubi growled, "Now, your stupidity had almost screwed that up! Your little ass is fortunate I saved you!"
Nanashi stayed quiet, his mind taking in all the information. He opened his mouth, as if he was going to speak, but held his tongue. He gestured the bars, "I still don't understand. Why am I here, and why does it matter if I die?"
"You fool! I am inside you! I am trapped in your pathetic body! If you die, I die; get that fact through your head! I am cursed to be with you."
'More like I'm the one who's cursed' Nanashi shook his head, "How did you get inside of me in the first place? Who or what placed you here?"
The Kyuubi let out an earsplitting roar in rage, and Nanashi couldn't help and cover his ears to the sound. "Who you ask! That blasted man from the shitty village, that's who!"
Nanashi used the beast's rage to his advantage, as he dared to ask more, "A name, tell me the name!" This was it, the moment of truth. From what Nanashi had gathered from the conversation, this man would have come from Konohana, or so he hoped. However, if he was right, then this man might just be . . . Nanashi bit back a laugh. Now he knew why he was abandoned. He was a host, a human sacrifice. What kind of parent would want a child like that?
"Feh, like I would know his name. The only thing I remember is that the name I heard was Konohana. That damned village, I will wipe them out when I am released from this prison!" The Kyuubi's head was slowly pulling away from the bars.
Nanashi growled in annoyance, the Kyuubi was pointless! It didn't let him know what he wanted to know! Ah well, first he had to get out of here, while somehow convincing the Kyuubi to lend him some of his strength to defeat the boy outside. "Kyuubi, I would like to make a deal with you!"
The enormous Kitsune turned around to face the boy. "What is it gaki? I don't have time for you!"
Naruto gave an icy stare and continued, "Now from what I can tell is that, if I die, you die. Now, I'm not to keen on dieing myself, but at this point, it's too late. However, if you lend me your strength at my beck and call, we can avoid situations like this more often, and defeat the boy outside, or where ever you want to call it. Do we have ourselves a agreement?"
After a bit of silence, the Kyuubi drawled, "Ah, but what's in it for me?"
Nanashi raised his eyebrows in bewilderment, "Well, isn't it obvious? As I said before, I don't die, you don't die. A good deal right?"
The Kyuubi didn't reply, and for a second, Nanashi though that he might refuse. However, the Kyuubi sent out chakra from the cage, which began to envelope Nanashi. He smirked and let the youkai filled chakra consume him, as the Kyuubi grinned, though it was unnoticed by Nanashi. The Kyuubi watched as Nanashi vanished in front of him and let out a sadistic cackle. Now, what the runt didn't know was that, each time he called upon his chakra, his life span would be shortened. However, this would only work if Nanashi was so angry, that a tail would come forth out of chakra. However, the Kyuubi knew it would happen.
0o0o0o0o0o0o
A monstrous amount of chakra burst forth from the small body that was lying on the ground. Nanashi eyes snapped open and could feel the power coursing through his veins, as he rose from the ground. Now, what Nanashi didn't know was that his talk the Kyuubi only lasted two or so minutes, so nothing much really changed in the battle. Still, much had changed with Nanashi. His eyes narrowed and sent the boy in the mirrors a murderous glare.
His feet began to move, and his body soon became a blur as he shot up in the air and punched the boy in the face, while successfully breaking the mirrors. The boy tumbled and skidded as his face met the hard pavement. However, Nanashi gave him no time to react as he walked over to the boy with a sadistic grin on his face. He grabbed the boy by the collar and landed a solid punch on face. The punch broke the boys mask, revealing a very feminine appearance.
Nanashi continued to plow on with no mercy. He tossed the boy onto the ground and took out a few senbon, all of which were embedded in him. He proceeded to drive the senbon into the boys skin, making sure he hit the vital points, almost enjoyingthe boy's screams of pain. Now, it was time. It was time to finish the job. He lifted the boy up once more, took two kunai into his hand, and thrust them into the boy; making sure one pierced a lung and the other the heart. After he was sure the boy was dead, he withdrew his hands and licked the blood of the kunai. Right after he was done, his power began to recede. Now, for the first time after his conversation, Nanashi took a look around the field. The first thing he was the look of pure terror from Hikari and Sasuke's faces. Their mouths were open, and their eyes revealed pure terror, and it was at him. Nanashi blinked. 'Wait, wasn't that boy dead?' He shrugged it off, as it wasn't his problem. He then looked over to the two older men, only to see that Kakashi was dealing a finishing blow the missing nin.
I'm alive! Yes, its true! Meh, I'm sorry if the ending is rushed, but I wanted it to be done already.
It kinda sucks how I'm looking back at the older chapters a realizing how bad it is. Be on the look out for changes in the chapters, as I will be editing them so they don't suck as much. Well, I just hope you enjoy this chapter! Thanks for all the support!
