JUTSU (description)

Pain was beginning to get worried. He was sensing a strong amount of chakra heading their way. He remembers sensing these very same chakras shortly after he met up with his little brother. He could tell that Sara was sensing the very same thing. Both of them knew that they had to get moving quickly. They began to make their way back towards the clearing where they had left the two lovebirds.

Pain: "Alright you two. It's time to get moving." Both Naruto and Hinata looked at howl as he came to see them, with Sara in tow.

Sara: "It appears that the Akatsuki are heading this way. And its emo boy and fish face."

??: "Who're you calling fish face?"

Everyone turned two see two Akatsuki members enter the clearing; it was the one with the giant bandaged sword on his back that had spoken up, "I swear, no knows how to respect power."

Naruto: "If I recall, I should be the one saying that," there was nothing but sarcasm in his voice, "the last time I fought you guys you ran with your tails between your legs."

Itachi: "We're not here for you kyubi, we're here for you Shichubi." Itachi was pointing at Hinata. That was when Naruto began to transform.

His eyes went from cerulean blue that were full of joy to blood red with slits for pupils. His eyes showed nothing but anger and blood lust. His whisker marks got thicker. His canines and nails grew longer and sharper and became fangs and claws. But something changed that normally didn't, his untidy blonde hair began to change color. It went from blonde to crimson red. Making look even more dangerous.

Kyubi Naruto: "YOU LAY A HAND ON HER, AND I'LL TEAR YOU APART!!"

Naruto charged at Itachi but was stopped by Kisame as he swung his sword. Naruto leapt back and landed on front of Hinata.

Kisame: "Now, now, you really do need to keep an eye on that temper of yours. It could get you in…"

Pain: "Lovo Style: Pack Charge!!"

Kisame and Itachi: "WHAT?!"

He put his hands in front of him, and out of thin air, a pack of wolves appeared and charged at Kisame. Forcing the man to jump away. Unfortunately, he jumped right in front of another attack.

Sara: "Komodo Art: Acid Stream!!"

She took a deep breath and spat out a continuous blast of acid at Kisame. He was hit with the whole thing. Once she finished, she expected to see a pile of bones, but instead, there was a log was melting away. Sara and Pain looked up and there was Kisame. Itachi merely looked at him, as though speaking to him with his eyes.

Itachi: 'Kisame, keep those two busy, and leave Shichubi to me.'

Kisame: 'You got it Itachi.'

Kisame took off with Pain and Sara giving chase. Mocking the two as he ran. The two followed knowing that Naruto wouldn't give up without putting up a fight.

Itachi: "Now, to the task at hand." He turned to face Naruto and Hinata, "Naruto, I will only repeat myself once, hand over Shichubi and no harm will come to either of you."

He began to approach the two. His sharingan activated as soon as Naruto began his attack. The two threw kicks and punches at each other. Neither of the two willing to give any ground, eventually, Naruto landed a kick on Itachi that sent him flying towards a tree. Naruto then began to spin chakra in his palm and began to form the RASENGAN. But before he could complete it, Itachi got up and activated one of his most powerful genjutsu.

Itachi: "Mangekyo Sharingan: Tsukiomi"

Naruto was then pulled into the Tsukiomi world. He found himself tied up against a post and he could see Itachi in front of him. Naruto's anger rose, which increased his chakra output.

Itachi: "Even if you have that kind of power to control, you are no match for my Tsukiomi."

KyuNa: "hehehehe, those eyes of yours won't keep you alive for long,"

Itachi: "What makes you so confident, fox brat?"

KyuNa; "I've been doing a lot of studying to try to find a way to counter this attack, and I found that there is way, or should I say, only one way."

Itachi: "and just would that be?"

Kyubi: Why don't you turn around you pathetic human.

For the first time in his life, Itachi was full of fear. He knew that voice, the voice of a creature that could destroy a village with no remorse or second thought. He turned around to face, none other, than the KYUBI NO KITSUNE, the very creature that nearly destroy Konoha. He still remembered when he first saw the fox attack the village it hadn't changed one bit. His fur was fiery red with the tips of his nine flowing tails and ears were black.

Itachi: "How is this possible?" He was shaking and sweating bullets at the sight of the fox, "No one should be able to counter my Tsukiomi, not even you." His voice was shaking now.

KyuNa: "Hey fox, why don't we show him what true power actually is?" Naruto had managed to get free of his bindings and was now standing behind Itachi.

Itachi: "How did you break those bindings, I control everything in this world!" Itachi was beginning to crack from fear.

KyuNa: "DEMON ART - HOST DEMON FUSION!!"

Kyubi: DEMON ART – DEMON HOST FUSION
(A/N: check a/n at bottom for explanation)

Naruto and Kyubi suddenly turned into chakra and began to form a single being. The being had Naruto's body but with many drastic changes. His eyes were blue with three red slit like tomoes circling the pupil (think like the level three Sharingan) and red where it should be white. The whisker marks on his cheeks became fiery red fur that went into his hair, which was no longer blonde, but fiery red. Fiery red fur covered his body in a tattoo-like fashion. His canines and nails grew and became fangs and claws. His human ears were replaced by long fox ears, they stood on the top of his head, they were at least six inches long and had white tips. But he most dramatic change was the fact that he had nine long flowing tails coming out from his back where the tailbone ended. He wore the leaf headband and the necklace that Naruto had begun to wear since he received it from Tsunade. He had Naruto's black pants but they had a red stripe going down his left leg and no kunai holster. And his ninja sandals were replaced by black boots, they had steel tips on the front where the toes would be.

Itachi was forced to drop the Tsukiomi and the two returned to the real world. Hinata couldn't believe her eyes. She was suddenly staring at a completely different Naruto. The thing was, she was now wishing that he looked like that all the time. Itachi, however, was shaking and sweating. The bloodlust that was being pointed at him was the most powerful one he had ever felt.

Itachi: "Just what the hell are you?" he voice had cracked and it was nearly impossible for him to move.

Naruby: "My name is Naruby, I am the fused form of Naruto and Kyubi. And you'll wish that you never messed with me, or my mate." Hinata blushed at his last statement but shook it off and moved to stand next to Naruby.

At this Hinata activated her Byakugan and stood next to Naruto. She began to go through the same changes that Naruto went through before he got pulled into Tsukiomi. Her eyes gained slit like pupils, two whisker marks appeared on each of her cheeks and got thicker, and her nails and canines grew and became claws and fangs.

Shichubi Hinata:"And that goes double for me,"she took her fighting stance ready to join Naruby in the fight. As he got a grin on his face and took his stance. Both ready to take out Itachi who finally took a fighting stance as well after he deactivated his Tsukiomi. Fully knowing that it was now useless in this battle.

Pain and Sara had just finished of Kisame by cutting him in half and cutting of his head simultaneously. That was when they felt a very familiar chakra and it was accompanied by another chakra, which they recognized to be Shichubi.

Sara: "What do you think it is?" she had a worried look on her face as she looked at Pain for an answer.

Pain: "Feels like the fox and cat have come out to play." he had a small grin on his face.

Chapter 9: Sasuke's Vengeance – Accomplished?!

Naruby: "I think you deserve to finish him off Sasuke, after all, it was your goal, wasn't it?"

Sasuke: "Looks like it ends here, Itachi."

A/N: DEMON ART – DEMON HOST FUSION and HOST DEMON FUSION: This art basically does what the name says, it temporarily fuses a demon with a human. It fuses the two in a way so that the human and demon will combine to form one being. This means that both the human's and demon's chakra become one and increase in strength (depending on the human and demon). The new being takes the form of the human with demonic traits such as fur, claws, ears, tails, etc. (The new form also has its own name, which is decided by the host and demon beforehand or on the spot.) The only drawback is that only humans that have demons sealed inside them are able to use this technique. The technique is one of Naruto's own original jutsus. He created it after he got separated from Jiraiya and before he met Pain or Sara, it took him only a few days to create.
