I hope you all like it I'm putting in hints on how the story will go if you found them out then good for you but don't spoil it for everyone else please.


Clare could only stare at the man what he had just said couldn't be true could it? All of the symptoms he had mentioned fit Raki perfectly but as much as logic told her it was true she just wouldn't accept it. There had to be some mistake or maybe there was a way too… "Tell me" Clare said softly. "I'm sorry I couldn't hear you" actually he could hear her he simply wanted to fuel her rage. "Is there anyway to cure him to help him since you seem to know so much tell me how to cure him of this." She yelled, her eyes changed color her face started to distort and her voice deepened.

There was a thoughtful look on his face for a minute before he answered "well there is one way actually that he could take control of the monster and its power" "how" Clare growled. "Well I could tell you however…" he then appeared in front of Clare at a speed that even she couldn't follow "there's something else to do first." He crashed his pole into her right arm causing it to break she tried to counter attack but he was already behind her hitting the pole into her spinal cord smashing a vertebrae. Slashing her sword downward she turned around only to meet air he was already some ten feet away. What happened to that enormous yoki it seemed to have disappeared completely leaving her yoma sensing abilities useless. He was in front of her again and she tried to cut him in two but he was beside her and he stabbed his pole right between her ribs breaking two at once.

"What's the matter you seem to be moving rather slowly" he taunted. She tried to hit him again but he merely caught the blade in one hand and used the other to crack her skull with the pole sending her flying some twenty feet. She couldn't believe how powerful he was he moved at incredible speeds and catching her blade like that required enormous strength and he wielded that pole of his like it was an extension of his arm. She was obviously no match for him he could have killed her already if he was using a blade instead of that pole he was carrying. He had gotten in front of her again this time bringing the weapon down into her stomach.

She coughed out blood and winced at the impact that seemed to damage some of her internal organs. She grabbed her sword and tried to cut at his feet but he wasn't there anymore. "Alright I think that's enough" he said as he reappeared on the side of her "you should be sufficiently injured by now." She looked up at him fighting to stay conscience "What are you talking about" after she said this she coughed up more blood on herself. "I was not aiming to kill you merely weakening you so that my plan will work" "plan?" she asked. "You'll find out soon enough" he started to walk away from her but then said "by the way I believe that if you focus your senses towards the temple you will find something quite interesting" then what looked like tentacles of darkness came from the ground and swallowed him leaving as soon as they had came.

She layed there for a minute thinking on what had just happened his power was beyond anything she had ever seen He could have easily killed her. She decided to take his advice and focused towards the temple and what she found was that a strong and ominous yoki was steadily making its way towards the temple and it could only belong to one person: Priscilla. She struggled to get up knowing that if Priscilla were to attack their forces would be quickly overwhelmed without her there. She propelled herself forward trying hard to fix her wounds on the way and hacking through anything that stood in her way.

The cloaked man walked into his cave and back to his two spheres which appeared to be playing what was happening in both worlds. The one on the left was observing what was happening in the claymore world while the one on the right was in the naruto world. "Everything is going according to plan"

Naruto was fighting off a couple of weaklings when suddenly a man in a black cloak with red clouds on it approached them. He made a few hand signs and said "doton: killer tree jutsu" (I don't know how to say it in Japanese) All of a sudden the surrounding trees came to life and there branches sharpened into spears stabbing at the group. Naruto being the faster one dodged them easily but the other ninja weren't so lucky. He turned to face the newcomer recognizing the uniform immediately. "Why hello there I assume you are Naruto of the village of konohagakure" he bowed showing his respect "pleased to meet you." Naruto was slightly surprised by the man's reply usually the members of akatsuki were ignorant in their powers but this one seemed modest and polite. "Yes I am and by that uniform I am guessing you are in the organization known as akatsuki" naruto also bowed. "Why yes I just joined about a month ago I heard that I would get to fight strong opponents should I join" he looked at naruto with a glint in his eye "I hope you can entertain me Naruto-kun."

Then in a blur of motion he tried to stab naruto with what looked like a wooden spear but it was merely a Kage bunshin. What looked to be a bunch of Naruto's came from the trees but the man had made the trees come to life again destroying the clones. By then the real naruto had come up behind him and was about to stab him with a kunai when the spear had turned into a snake and tried to bite naruto. But this was another substitute and another group emerged from the ground taking the snake like spear away and slicing it up with there kunai's.

Another naruto appeared in front of him and imbedded a kunai into his stomach. "It's over" Naruto said the man merely laughed and said "marvelous simply marvelous they told me you were strong but I had no idea." He raised his hand up to Naruto's face and said "against you I will have to use full power." He then melted into a pile of mud and all of the trees came alive attempting to stab naruto with there branches. He jumped up in the air making hand signs and firing off fireballs incinerating the trees but they simply came back to life. "Were going to play a little game these trees will continue to regenerate as long as I have chakra the more you destroy the faster my chakra will deplete can you make my chakra run out before my trees kill you." Naruto looked towards the army of trees that came at him and said "only one way to find out."


Clare didn't know how she was going to make it in time between her wounds and all of the yoma she had to get through.

These wounds were peculiar they didn't seem to heal as fast as they should and that posed a huge problem on its own.

She sensed Priscilla's power suddenly flare meaning that she was going to attack.


Raki was cut down the yoma using an incomplete version of the quick sword he had been practicing with Clare. The effort left him drained and he started to slow down. He suddenly felt a huge surge in yoki and knew instantly who it belonged to. He tried to fall back behind the fate but his legs didn't respond at all he simply fell down out of fatigue. He looked up at the battle it seemed that even with the awakened ones coming the battle still seemed even. Clare stampeded through them reaching him incredibly quickly "are you okay" she asked out of concern " fine just a little tired" he said but she could tell that he was already starting to pass out.

"Why hello there am I interrupting anything" a pleasant voice chimed out. Clare turned around at the voice. "Priscilla" she whispered anger in her tone and her yoki was already rising. "Why hello there Clare I would like to stay and chat however I have certain business to attend to." By the time she finished Clare had attacked however Priscilla already blocked the cut and the two started to fight they both were incredible but Raki could tell that Clare was straining herself to keep up while Priscilla didn't look tired at all. Clare was going to lose. Raki knew that and he struggled to get up and help her but he couldn't move only stay and watch while Clare struggled to stay alive. It was always like this he was always so useless he could never help her.

He needed to be stronger to have power so that he can save Clare to prove to her that he was useful. And as Raki fell asleep something else woke up and bared its teeth. "Well so that's all is it?" Priscilla asked as Clare fell down. Clare looked with all the hatred she was capable of showing. "Well in that case I think I should finish this now" as she said that she raised her blade above her head in order to deliver the final blow. Just then an enormous power appeared it was huge surpassing anything they had ever felt before and it was coming from Raki! He stood up and there was something strange a skull like mask was forming on his face whisker like marks appeared on the other side and his skin started to turn into a deep shade of copper while his hair started to glow.

"Who are you?" Priscilla asked feeling the enormous yoki coming from him. "Who am I?" it cackled sending a chill down Clare's spine "I don't… It appeared in front of Priscilla killer intent covering the place like a thick blanket …got a name!" It attacked her sending Priscilla on the defensive. It was merciless continuing the assault cackling like a mad man cutting Priscilla as though he wanted to kill her slowly. Clare couldn't believe how powerful Raki had become and the strange things that seemed to be happening to his body. He didn't even look like Raki anymore instead it was a monster that had taken possession of him. Priscilla was covered in cuts bleeding all over her body. "So this is the mighty Priscilla the one who's supposed to be even more powerful than an abyssal one" It cackled out loud "how pathetic are you even trying!"

Then a voice came out interrupting the monster "that's quite enough" It turned around to face the voice and found a man in a black cloak holding a metal pole. The very same that had injured Clare before she fought Priscilla. "Well I don't know who you are but you came here while I was having fun can't allow that" It attacked the stranger with the sword only to meet air the man then tripped it pinning him to the floor "Damn you let me go or I'll rip you're skull off!" He then took the pole and jabbed it into his forehead. The mask was crushed his skin and hair turned back and the whisker marks disappeared. "Man I didn't think that you would last so long under the pressure of all that power but in he end I guess you're still human after all." He got off Raki and walked towards Priscilla "Excellent job by the way you did exactly as you were told" she responded "good can I go now" "yes sorry for making you do this but it was necessary for my plan" "whatever" she got up and started to fly away giving a signal for the army to retreat. He then looked at Clare

And said "go to the temple with your friends and take the charm with the yellow fox head it will transport you to a place I have prepared for your arrival." With that he started to walk away but before he disappeared Clare shouted "who the hell are you? how do you know so much? Why does Priscilla listen to you?" He turned and looked at her "I don't got a name" and with that he vanished leaving Clare more confused than ever.
