Mystery Voice #1: Lord Pain doesn't own anything from Naruto or anything else used in this story, that are taken from other TV Shows, Anime, Manga, or Video Games.

Mystery Voice #2: Lord pain does however, own all OC's, and Original Jutsu are his own original work. Some are not but it should be obvious these don't come from Lord Pain.

Mystery Voice #3: Any attempt to sue Lord Pain would be fruitless and time consuming, so just don't even bother. He's not making any money on this anyways, so please leave him alone.

Mystery Voice #4: That is all for now. However, two of the Cross overs that will be in this fic are going to become BLATENTLY apparent in this chapter. This is because Lord Pain is and will be having trouble making it subtle beyond this chapter...

Lord Pain: Thank you servant's... Now, let's begin the show.

(Forest of Death...)

Naruto didn't like this, not at all... He was quickly jumping from tree to tree, trying desperately to find his teammate's. However the problem was he could sense that Shinobi, and his own two teammates were on his tail. Naruto gritted his teeth and lunged across a large expanse grunting as he landed. 'That Shinobi guy must of done more damage than I originally thought...' Naruto mentally groaned and then continued on his trek, the Kyuubi's chakra still pumping threw him as he did so.

But, had Naruto concentrated on his surrounding's, our favorite Jinchuuriki may have noticed the OTHER three nin that were right in front of his trek. At least before one kicked him in the face knocking him back. Naruto skidded back and had to hang on to the tree branch or fall off entirely. He was actually more surprised that someone managed to surprise him, rather than be worried about the fact that they managed to knock him back when he was empowered by the Kyuubi...

However that surprise quickly turned into fear as he saw the three Garandou nin standing there, one had his arm's crossed over his chest and stood up front. Beside and behind him to the left was another, only he was slouched down low, knee's bent, his arm's nearly touching the ground beneath him. Last was the final nin, beside and behind the first one to the right, his posture was stiff, rigid, almost like that of a living statue as he stood before the former blond...

"Why did I somehow know you three would come after me..." Naruto mumbled in a demonic growl then flipped back to his feet and glared at the three nin blocking his path. "Listen here wise guy's, I've got some friend's in need and no freak's in black leather are gonna stand in my way!" Naruto shouted getting into a ready stance when the frontal Garandou nin chuckled darkly to himself...

"Now, now, Naruto-kun. We can't have you going any ware... For the moment." The first Garandou nin said making Naruto raise a brow as his voice was... Darker... Not like the Kyuubi's deep rumbling growl, as it still sounded human but... Something just wasn't right with it...

"What the hell is up with your voice?" Naruto asked narrowing his eye's and the first nin chuckled, but this time a deep baritone, yet completely emotionless, voice spoke, but not into his ear's, no, this voice was in his MIND.

"... Honestly Guilt, you lack tact in your work... Child, you will come with us..." The voice said factly as the crouching nin placed his hand's onto the ground snarling and hissing towards Naruto. "Temptation, please desist from that foolish behavior..." The statue like one said moving his head to the final of their little group and Naruto shivered... What kind of name was Temptation or Guilt for a person?

"Why exactly should I?" Naruto then finally asked eye's narrowing on the three "Nin" and he was using the term loosely in his mind as he got the feeling these guy's weren't really nin...

"Well... You kinda don't have a choice in the matter Naruto-kun... So just don't fight and you won't be hurt..." Guilt asked in a pleading tone then said holding a hand towards the former blond, and Naruto scoffed.

"Do you really think I'd do that? Especially when my friend's are in danger?!" He questioned indignantly of the three "Nin" before him... Guilt's shoulder's slumped, ever so slightly, and he bowed his head...

"No... I guess you wouldn't..." He muttered and then mumbled something under his breath.

"Guilt. Do not allow your petty, pathetic, and HUMAN emotion's cloud your judgment and keep you from fulfilling your duty to the master." The last, and only unnamed, "Nin" said crossing his arm's yet still sounding like he was somewhat bored about, and somewhat neutral to what was happening. Guilt growled and turned towards the other Garandou nin, from what Naruto could tell he was glaring at him heatedly.

"Shut up Fear!" He roared finally naming the final Garandou nin. "What would you even know about emotion?!" The nin demanded and Temptation shrieked making Naruto and Guilt both wince and cover their ear's.

"No Guilt... You be silent. You may be our leader for now... But that doesn't mean we will listen to you at all times..." Fear said still neutrally to the other man who growled. Fear then looked to Naruto who was blinking as Temptation's mask started to have razor's come out of it, almost like a set of teeth, also some wear appearing at his hand's and feet like claw's of some kind. "But, as of the moment. We need to secure Uzumaki... Which means we must make sure Temptation is kept at bay..." Fear stated still sounding disinterested and Guilt lowered his head and slowly nodded before turning away from the two nin behind him and walking towards Naruto.

"So I see you three have finally worked out your differences..." Naruto said softly still looking as Temptation grew razor sharp fang's and claw's... Literally... Guilt however was oddly quiet now, especially when he let out a sad sigh and then tightened his hand's into fists...

"I didn't want this Naruto-kun..." Guilt said and raced forward towards Naruto at incredible speed's before he then kicked him in the face sending him flying again. Guilt then jumped threw tree's and lunged at Naruto reaching for him but the boy looked at him with one eye and gritted his teeth.

"Air Hyke!" He shouted forming the jutsu and jumping back to a tree making Guilt look towards him as he fell down only to hit the ground with a loud crash. Naruto panted for a bit then took off back into the tree's attempting to get past the other two when it seemed that Guilt was back making Naruto's eye's widen in shock. "But... How... You fell all the way down!" Naruto said backing up but stopped at the edge of the tree.

"I'm Sorry Naruto-kun... But it takes more than that... To kill a Guardian of Pain..." Guilt said softly and Naruto had to hold his ear's as he heard a feminine shriek in his head. "KIT, RUN, RUN AS FAST AND AS FAR AS YOU CAN!!! DO NOT FIGHT THIS THING JUST RUN, AND DON'T LOOK BACK!!" The voice shouted and Naruto grunted, however he inwardly agreed with the voice, these guy's just didn't seem like someone he could beat... Especially if they could survive a fall like that.

So Naruto listened to the voice in his head and bolted to the left of the "Guardian of Pain" running threw the tree's. Guilt shook his head solemnly as he saw this and let out a soft sigh... "Sorry Naruto-kun... But the master doesn't want you getting away..." Guilt said to himself then vanished in a flash of black light.

Naruto had bolted from that place, whatever the voice in his head was, his instincts were agreeing with it one-hundred percent. However, he also felt he might need to have a talk with Crow later... A female yelling in his head might be some form of mental health issue or he might be developing more than just one other split personality... Wait... Did it call him Kit?

Before Naruto could ponder further, he was shocked to see Guilt appear in front of him in a black flash of light. "How did you catch up with me so fast?!" Naruto demanded his eye's widening as he pointed at Guilt, the Kyuubi's chakra fading as it seemed unable to give him more, his body returning to normal..

"..." The G.O.P. was silent not making a move as then Naruto heard something and looked over to his right. There the first Two 'G.O.P.' were somehow floating in the air, before landing beside of Guilt and all three looked at Naruto it seemed. Then from, Guilt's lower back a long chain ripped out and encircled the G.O.P.'s arm's before latching onto a pair of silver bracelet's, two on each of his arm's. Just as that happened, Fear's band's all loosened and Naruto gasped, wide eyed, and stepping back in fear as one of the G.O.P. was finally revealed to him.

His skin, was an off gray-blue color that was white when the light hit it. His hair was messy and stark-white, it also covered his left eye and was down to his shoulders... Besides the blood splattered in it, the hair had seemed ALMOST normal. His eye's were of the deepest Obsidian, even the whites of his eye or as some called it the 'Sclera' was pitch black... With two long Scar's on his face intersecting between his eye's into an X... Yet the wound was still somehow bleeding out traveling down his face and neck.

Around his neck, wrist's, and what could be seen of the person's ankle's, were thick leather band's with a large buckle to fasten them down. The other leather band's around his body were now so loose that they had formed some kind of robe's that covered most of his form and hid his hand's from view, buckle's and stud's were at varying places to keep the outfit together. And blood was seeping out of the black bandage's covering his feet.

Naruto could only stare in shock as the THING that was Fear was revealed to him for the first time... Then Temptation also changed... Only this time it was much more drastic... The band's all over Temptation all fell away, to reveal the same eye's and skin as Fear, his hair was also stark-white but it was much more spiky and messy, also managing to cover both of his eye's from view.

He had the same leather band's around his neck, ankle's, and wrist's as Fear. Only these were attached to wire's that were also attached to sharp, yet rusty, metallic claw's that had been painfully grafted into his hand's and feet. His mouth was also malformed due to the fact his teeth had some form of rusted, long, sharp, razor fang's replacing his them, making the G.O.P. look more like a beast than a man. Also, the scar's on his body seemed to have been made into a tiger stripe pattern along his arms and legs. He wore an old tattered shit that didn't have sleeves or cover his stomach. A pair of old blue jean's that had been ripped apart below the knee's to expose the scarred skin bellow them also, and a black leather belt that had strap's going to a pair of studded leather band's around his thigh's.

Temptation and Fear then looked to the final G.O.P. who looked away making Temptation shriek in annoyance. "It would appear that our dear friend does not wish to reveal himself... Eh Temptation?" Fear questioned, his arm's crossed and the beast like G.O.P. roared angrily. "Agreed. Now then, Guilt, do your job and capture the boy right this minute... Or else I'm afraid were going to have to take... Drastic measures..." Fear said his lip's never moving, not even twitching as Guilt slumped completely, still standing and looked to Naruto, nodding his head without looking at his fellow G.O.P.

Naruto barely saw Guilt move before he felt a hand plow into his stomach and knock him back into the tree behind him, grunting in pain. Fear then ran forward and Naruto concentrated all of the Kyuubi's Chakra he could into him self and let out a roar as he slashed at Guilt who didn't make as sound as Naruto's attack hit. Naruto then kicked Guilt back and then jumped away as he hoped the G.O.P. would stay down... No such luck would find Naruto at the moment it seemed...

Guilt appeared before Naruto in a flash of black light, and used a round house kick knocking Naruto back before landing on the ground his head bowed slightly. With several light drop's some blood came from Guilt's mask and hit the tree branch below his head. Naruto spit out some blood that pooled in his mouth and stood up to glare at Guilt who had remained oddly silent throughout this new brawl. "What's the matter?!" Naruto demanded glaring at Guilt panting slightly and tuning out the female shrieking in his head about him being a moron. "What? Running out of steam already?" Naruto questioned, he knew it was stupid, but seriously, it's not like he's got anything better to hit the guy with...

Guilt seemed to sigh softly and stood to his full height before performing several Hand seal's making Naruto's eye's widen. "Kage no Hiraishin/ Shadow of the Flying Thunder God!" The G.O.P. called out into the air and vanished. Naruto looked around only to be hit by a fist from the left, then a hook right, a knee to his gut a split second later, and an elbow to the back of his head even quicker. Soon a flurry of blows were pelted onto Naruto. So many blows hit him so quickly that he lost count and was then punched into a tree by a fist. Once the attacks finished the G.O.P. now stood before him holding him to the tree with one hand, the boy's feet hanging off the ground.

"Ouch..." Naruto mumbled weakly blood leaking from his busted lip as the G.O.P. held him to the tree still silent as the grave. "Guess... You weren't out of steam... After all..." Naruto said in between breath's as the other two G.O.P. walked, no, floated towards the two. Fear landed behind Guilt and then hmmed.

"Excellent... Now we must take our leave, before someone finds us." Fear stated only for himself, Temptation and Guilt to be knocked back as a few... Uninvited guest's arrived.

"Say, is this a private party, or can anyone join in?" Asked the voice in a humorous tone and Naruto looked in front of him to see Shinobi, Camior, and Shadow standing between himself and the GOP. The said creatures being, at least those whose faces were uncovered, between bored/annoyed, Fear, to infuriated, Temptation.

"I don't know Dante, they do seem to be rather busy at the moment... Maby we should come back when there threw?" Shinobi asked his brother who glared at him for a second before chuckling to himself softly.

"Tch, Tch, Tch. Now Ver, what kind of unwelcome Party Crashers would we be if we just went and did that?" Camior questioned shaking his head from side to side, making Shinobi nod his own head in agreement.

"Oh, forgive me Dante, I seem to have fallen into a temporary lack of sanity for a moment there. Thank you for reminding me that were the one's crashing the party..." Shinobi said obviously with a hint of humor in his tone as you could almost see the smirk on both boy's faces even with their mask's on.

"Yep. So boy's you might wanna step up your game a bit! The big boy's have come to play!" Camior said while unsheathing 'Rebellion' from his back and grasping it lazily. Shinobi then unsheathed his twin sword's, 'Luce and Umbra' and held them backwards in his hand's. Shadow seemed to gulp and backed up before squatting next to Naruto. "Sis, you help Fox-Face there while we take care of these circus freak's!" Camior said in a jovial tone and Shinobi chuckled to himself as he crouched down.

The Guardian's then got into their own fighting stances, Fear levitated above the ground arm's crossed, Guilt moved into a Taijutsu stance, and Temptation crouched down on one hand, the other hand reared back to swipe his claw. "So... Who gets who?" Shinobi questioned looking at the three creature's before himself thoughtfully.

"Hmmm..." Camior wondered looking around for a moment. "I get the ugly one." He stated nodding his head and Shinobi smirked behind his mask.

"Which one's the ugly one?" He asked humorously. "They all seem rather repulsive to me..." Shinobi added thoughtfully and Camior nodded his head, neither boy payed attention to the three Guardian's, all of whom seemed annoyed.

"Yeah... They are... Okay, I get the freak with the claw's then." Camior said and Shinobi then looked to the flying G.O.P.

"Fly boy's mine..." He stated simply and quicker than lightning the two lunged forward at the G.O.P...

--------------------

(Else ware...)

Sasuke Uchiha was not having a good day... Not at all... First, someone had used a massive wind style jutsu that nearly blew him and Sakura away from one another. Then someone who tried to pass himself off as Naruto came by. However, this same person LOOKED like Naruto, but he was using the old DOBE personality rather than the new one that Sasuke felt was more on an intellectual level with himself and other's of their age group. So Sasuke called the fakes bluff, and then found an enemy grass nin had tried to deceive them.

Sasuke for his part couldn't tell if it was a he or a she at first so just adopted to calling he/she an IT as that was the only logical way to say it. The nin had then shown them the earth scroll they would need, however the nin then ATE It's scroll. That had freaked out Sasuke and Sakura both, but it was when they had to look into the nin's eye's that they truly fell prey to the grass nin... That's when they both were forced to look into his eye's... And like with Crow and his own "Evil Eyes" they seemed to see their own death's... They weren't pretty...

Sasuke then had to stab himself to get out of his fear and save both himself and Sakura from being impaled by a kunai. Sasuke had then removed the kunai and quickly jumped to a "Safe" hiding spot, however that wasn't really true as he could already tell nothing in this whole damn forest was safe...

That brings us to the current problem. Sasuke had just defeated a rather gigantic specimen of the snake family, killing it and pinning it to a tree at the same time. However as the Uchiha attempted to catch his breath, the grass nin from before came out of it's body, covered in blood making both Sakura and Sasuke looked at him/her in horror and fear.

"For shame, letting your guard down! Stay on your toes, like a good prey should!" The nin stated his/her head bowed. "It makes the chase so much more rewarding..." The nin said and then looked up at them, his/her long tongue sticking out of his/her mouth. "... For the PREDATOR!" The nin said in a crazed tone as he/she then presided to stretch their body out and slither up the tree towards their prey. However, before the person could reach very far ice covered the tree and the nin stopped. All head's turned, and saw Crow with Tora out in it's battle mode, his goggles and mask were gone and he was glaring heatedly at the nin before him...

"Hello Orochimaru. It's been quite some time..." The boy growled at the nin, now confirmed as a male, who simply fell to one of the branches of the tree and looked at Crow with a grin on his face.

"Oh, dear nephew, it has indeed been too long since last we met." Orochimaru said and Sasuke's eye's widened. That at least explained what was up with Crow and the other nin's 'Evil Eyes'... "But I must admit Iyoku-kun, I was disappointed when you disappeared before I could collect you from Kiri myself..." The missing nin said while still grinning at the young man who narrowed his eye's on him dangerously.

"Be that as it may, I never planned on going ANYWARE with you... Especially after what you did to me..." Crow growled his face twisted into a snarl, his snake like eye's thinning into slit's. Orochimaru simply chuckled his eye's then changing, turning bright gold, like Crow's right eye, as the two stared one another down.

"Now, now Iyoku. I seem to recall you once considered me a father..." The snake sannin said still grinning and Crow's snarl seemed to deepen...

"You... You think that killing... You think that what you did to me, you think it wouldn't make me want to kill you?!" Crow asked heatedly, his fang's clearly visible as his silver chakra engulfed his body making it seem like he was on fire. Orochimaru could only laugh as he looked at Crow and his anger...

"Why would you be? You wanted to be able to free yourself of your family and the Mizukage... So I simply gave you the power to do so, no string's attached my dear nephew." Orochimaru said and Crow lunged at him, eye's wide in rage swinging his sword at the Sannin who flipped out of the way and into the air just as Crow's sword was about to cut him in half. Crow growled and then formed a one handed seal.

"Demon Hair Jutsu!" He shouted and the invisible hair from before went to wrap around Orochimaru. However the snake Sannin smirked once more as he sniffed the air, then somehow dodged the hair and made Crow's eye's widen. "How did you..." He mumbled softly as Orochimaru landed unscathed and grinned up at the boy.

"Simple Iyoku-kun. That hair you're using has a different scent than anyone else present. Why no one ever thinks to sniff out your little trick I'll never know... But then again... Having a snake's sense of smell does help..." Orochimaru said his head split by a grin... Crow frowned and called his hair back to himself, eye's narrowing, pure hatred spilling out of them.

Sasuke and Sakura were still trying to get their head's around the fact that Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, was Crow's UNCLE! And that he had given something to Crow that had made the boy hate him for it... But... What was it? That's when Crow's chakra seemed to change as he glared at Orochimaru, burning line's were now covering his body before ending. 'What is that? His Chakra Output seems to have at least tripled!' Sasuke thought to himself as his eye's widened as Crow's chakra turned black and purple moving around the boy like an angry flame. The mark's on his body appeared to be simple line's, only they were spiraling around his face, right arm, and left leg...

"Oh dear, your actually using my gift?" Orochimaru questioned with a grin on his face, eye's wide with anticipation. Crow was silent, eye's narrowing in anger, his grip on Tora tightening till his knuckle's turned white. "Hmmm, nothing more to say to your dear uncle?" Orochimaru questioned, still grinning, as Crow's eye's then changed to the first release of his Kekkei Genkai.

In the blink of an eye Crow vanished in a black and purple flash reappeared right in front of Orochimaru. The Snake lord's eye's widened as he saw the technique, which was so similar to the Yondaime's Hiraishin no Jutsu. So enthralled by it was Ororchimaru, he almost forgot to dodge when Crow swung Tora, nearly taking the man's head off. "Yes Uncle... I do have one more thing left to say to you..." Crow said and looked at Orochimaru with hatred, even as a sickening grin spread across his face. "WITNESS THE BIRTH OF THE TRUE NIGHTMARE!!" With that Crow's right eye changed, now instead of the 'Blood Cross Eye', It had a normal black pupil, the iris was yellow, the sclera was red and had vein's popping out around the side.

Orochimaru jumped back as Crow forcibly shoved Tora threw the tree it had been embedded in, cutting the tree apart. "Ohhh, impressive nephew. But let's see just how well you handle the 'Makai no Juin/Cursed Seal of Hell' that I gave you all those year's ago..." The Snake Lord grinned as then Crow lunged down at him. The Sannin then made several hand seal's before bitting his finger and spreading some blood on his right arm. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Immediately an enormous snake appeared below Orochimaru and lunged upward at the young man. Crow snarled and then spun Tora at his side, still channeling Chakra into it.

"EAT THIS! TORA'S FURY!" Crow roared as an orb of ice like chakra gathered at the center of his blade. Crow then took hold of his blade and unleashed the attack on Orochimaru and his snake. The Snake was instantaneously frozen by the attack but the snake lord jumped away from both the attack and the snake itself. 'Hmmm... He's improved himself drastically since I last saw him... Not by much it seems, but enough to keep me on my toes...' Orochimaru thought as then Crow lunged forward and started to wildly flail Tora cutting the tree branch's below them with each swipe. 'He's allowed all his hate and anger for me to cloud his own judgment, a fools tactic at best... Didn't I teach him better?!' Orochimaru thought annoyedly as then Crow made a few more single handed seal's and Orochimaru growled.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Crow shouted and Orochimaru's eye's widened as he jumped back as a large Raven or Crow of some form, came from a large plume of smoke and bit the tree branch he had been holding on to.

The bird was large at least six feet tall and eight feet long, with blood red eyes, an extra eye on it's forehead, all three looking like burning slit's. With steel talon's rather than flesh, and a black metal beak, it's feather's were all messy and seemed a bit spiky around it's head and wings. Its four large wing's, each curved slightly into a strange shape at it's top.(Think of Sephiroth's wing from KH 1 or 2 only there's four of them.) The larger set of these wing's had a wingspan of aproximentally twelve feet from wing tip to wing tip, the smaller one's being ten feet. It seemed to be wearing a dark gray holster around it's neck and torso around it's wing's with the 'Hebungakure' Symbol on a metal plate at it's back.

Orochimaru nearly swore as the bird then released the tree and flew into the air making a massive wind blow the Sannin back. Sasuke grabbed Sakura, when she was nearly blown away by the bird and he then used a kunai to hold himself to a nearby tree. Crow was below the crow and was performing more one handed seal's before biting his thumb and slamming his hand into the ground. "Kuchyose no Jutsu! RAVEN'S PANIC!" He shouted and flung his left arm at Orochimaru, and hundred's of the black bird's coming from no ware as the large one vanished. The bird's all started to swarm around Orochimaru biting and pecking at the Sannin's fake skin as he tried to knock them away.

Crow smirked, that was the best distraction he could think of in order to keep Orochimaru busy, even if it was only for a short while, he'd need every precious second of it for the seal's of this next Jutsu. Crow quickly formed a long string of seal's while keeping an eye on Orochimaru before finishing and grinning Darkly. "AWAKENING OF MADNESS JUTSU!" He shouted as the Chakra around his body turned pitch black and his eye's inverted. Now both had a white slitted pupil, black sclera, and violet iris as then his skin turned dark gray, the mark's on his body fading into them, his hair fell down around his head, almost looking like Orochimaru's, also now turning stark white. Coincidentally, Sakura noticed from her place that Crow's teeth did indeed turn black when he was like this...

Orochimaru turned in time to see this unfortunate action as then Crow started to laugh loudly and the eye of his sword pulsed. "FREEDOM! It's always so sweet..." He stated grinning, barring his now blackened fang's before he crouched and lunged at Orochimaru, reeling back Tora and swinging at the Sannin who jumped back and Crow's crows all vanished. Orochimaru growled then opened his mouth and a snake came out before spitting out a sword and Orochimaru took hold of it.

"Kusanagi no Tsurugi, Kuu no Tachi!/ Sword of Kusanagi, Long Sword of Sky!" Orochimaru stated and ran forward swinging his own sword at Crow in a graceful arc. The young, now insane, man jumped backwards and shoved his sword into the ground sitting on it when he stopped, just to grin at Orochimaru. 'So then, this is the technique of my ancestor... The fabled Jutsu that made him the most remembered of our clan... Until me of course...' Orochimaru thought with a smirk on his lip's. "Impressive thus far Nephew, but I fail to see the strength you'd need to kill me. Albeit you are stronger than I would have guessed you are still inadequate." Crow's grin seemed to widen as he then rolled his mask from his neck to cover the bottom part of his face leaving only his eye's to glare out at Orochimaru.

"Oh really? Well then it's a good thing I'm not you're Nephew... Well not when I'm like this at least..." Crow said darkly before removing his right wrist protector and letting it fall to the ground below. He then pulled off his blue vest and Dropped it also... It hit the ground below making a loud sounding crash and a crater as Orochimaru blinked in surprise. "Sakura... Sasuke... Get away from me... I won't be able to control my action's after I do this and I might just go after anything that moves..." Crow growled out towards the two Genin who both nodded quickly and jumped into the tree's.

"Now I'll have to find those two again... Pity..." Orochimaru said with a shrug then looked at Crow with a grin. "So Iyoku-kun, what was it you were going to show me exactly?" He questioned and Crow chuckled darkly, his eye's narrowing.

"Just a little something I have to thank you for later..." Crow said as then the burning mark's reappeared, only were glowing purple surprising Orochimaru. "I do hope you like it! I'm SURE that you never expected me to be able to do THIS!!" With that the marks seemed to widen before covering all of Crow's body before his body was then enveloped by the obsidian glow of his own chakra.

Then the skin on his right arm thickened and spike's grew from his shoulder and forearm a small mouth with fanged teeth on his upper arm below his shoulder appeared. His hand then morphed into a three fingered claw with thick armor like spike's on the back of his hand. With a mighty scream of pain Crow then started to grow in height, his muscle's tightening, becoming stronger as his body changed. His skin stayed the same dark gray color as before but thickened on his chest and back, large spike's growing from his back had tore open his shirt, then smaller spike's grew along his spine making it clearly visible. And then a mouth with fanged teeth Frey to now adorn his chest having torn his shirt apart there. And last his hair lengthened to below his ass before turning a deep blood red color.

'Incredible! He's discovered the second state all on his own! And quite the fearsome form it is!' Orochimaru thought, proud of his former student as the large spiked man jumped from his spot, Tora or now "Dark-Seed" above his head as he brought it down in a Vertical arc. Orochimaru guarded with Kusanagi and almost buckled under the strain from Crow's monstrous strength. 'This is impossible! Tsunade is barely this strong!' Orochimaru groaned as he then mustered all of his own might and pushed the transformed Crow back and away while taking several calming breath's.

"Ha ha ha ha... Are you tiering already, Sensei?! I thought a Legendary Sannin would prove to be stronger than this!" Crow stated eye's wide in insanity and Orochimaru frowned. The combination of the Madness Jutsu, and the Cursed seal, must have had some form of adverse effect on Crow's mind... Well... Only to the part ware his ego was located seemed to have been affected... Wait... Some chakra seemed to be leaking from Dark-Seed...

"Oh ho, Becoming quite bold are we Iyoku-kun? Well I'll just have to cut you down to size then!" Orochimaru shouted, putting the odd behavior from Crow into the back of his mind before lunging forward. Crow quickly ducked down and lifted his sword towards the Snake lord, knocking Orochimaru off balance as he leaned back to evade. Crow then brought the sword down towards Orochimaru who had to flip to the side as then Crow growled and flung his sword to the side knocking Orochimaru to the ground. 'Impressive, in this form, not only does it seem his strength is increased, but also his chakra output and speed... However, I'm more curious about this odd sensation Dark-seed seems to be giving off... What is in that blade... Wait... They didn't use THAT did they?' Orochimaru thought then questioned to himself before cursing as Crow lunged at him swinging his sword horizontally. "Hmmm... Maybe you should aim at me..." Orochimaru said dryly and Crow snarled eye's narrowing in rage.

"Don't you dare speak to me with such disrespect ever again!" He shouted and reeled his blade back, moving one foot back also, then lunged forward with a powerful sword thrust that almost impaled Orochimaru. The Sannin barely managed to flip over the attack only to land on Crow's outstretched blade. "What is this!?" Crow demanded and Orochimaru plunged his Kusanagi into Crow's chest, the boy's eye's widening as he did...

"Hmph, sorry Iyoku-kun, but I really do have to be finding Sasuke-kun..." Orochimaru said as he looked at Crow... Then blinked as he noticed the OPEN mouth on Crow's chest was bitting into the Kusanagi! "What the hell!?" Orochimaru exclaimed as then Crow swung Dark-Seed in a circle knocking Orochimaru off of the blade and taking Kusanagi with it. Orochimaru looked at Crow and raised a brow, within the mouth on Crow's chest, there appeared to be a large eye with a golden Iris and Sclera staring at him... What was with this strange form? He'd seen a man with a third eye, six armed men, a man with an extra head, a guy who could use his bone's as weapon's, and even a person who had no face. But THIS topped all of it by far...

"Hnnnn... It appears as if you expected my heart to be that easy to reach. Foolish human. I am the Ultimate Nightmare! It won't be so easy to kill me!" Crow exclaimed before lunging at Orochimaru once more and the snake Sannin ducked down and then rolled away before making a few hand seals. With a plume of smoke Orochimaru was running away and Crow growled before jumping towards him. "No one shall escape me! Least of all you Hebi-Teme!" He shouted and quickly ran after the Snake man. Crow was amazingly swift, especially considering how he should have been off balance because of his arm and sword. However instead, Crow easily managed to catch up with Orochimaru and swung Dark-Seed towards the man once more. Orochimaru rolled to the side and Dark Seed, lodged itself into a large rock.

"Now then, if Kusanagi won't work, let's see how much you're Taijutsu improves in this state, Iyoku-kun." Ororchimaru said swallowing Kusanagi and Crow chuckled releasing Dark-Seed from his grip. He then raised his mutated fist into the air and spark's started to surrounded his body.

"Thunder Devil Jutsu!" He exclaimed and lightning surrounded his body completely, making Ororchimaru groan. He really needed to find the old scroll with his clan's Technique's on it someday... "Now then, you've probably heard of our Ancestor Raiden Onizuka. Well this is his signature move and it garnered him the name "God of Lightning" amongst the elemental nation's." Crow said then crouched into a Taijutsu stance. "But allow me to show you some of the finer point's of this Jutsu..." He then lunged forward at Orochimaru and delivered a right hook into the Snake lord's face sending him shooting back and screaming as his nerve's were attacked by intense pain.

'OUCH! I see... That Jutsu was developed to... Damn it... To do more damage by adding an... Errr... An electrical charge that specifically targeted the nervous system... Damn the man who made this it hurts!' Orochimaru thought grimacing as Crow laughed loudly and ran to attack him once more, still encircled by lightning. 'I cannot allow him to hit me with that any more time's. I need an earth wall... He he he...' Orochimaru thought then grinned as he made several hand seal's then placed them both palm down on the ground. "Doton, Doryuu Heki!" Orochimaru shouted as a wall of rock came up in front of him just as Crow was nearing him. Crow couldn't stop his forward motion in time however and hit the wall then fell back. The boy quickly shook his head and glared as Orochimaru was moving away.

"No one... NO ONE ESCAPES FROM ME!" He roared rushing to grab Dark-Seed and ripping it from the stone as he then jumped into the tree's after Orochimaru. The mutated warrior jumped from branch to branch, barely noticing that he was beginning to feel tired. He then saw Orochimaru jump down to the ground and followed only to see him jump into a small river. Crow frowned, he couldn't use the 'Thunder Devil Jutsu' if Orochimaru was in water, so he deactivated the jutsu and slid to a stop near to Orochimaru.

"Do you want to know something Iyoku-kun?" Orochimaru questioned and Crow roared lunging forward. "I suppose you don't. Too bad you need to hear this." Orochimaru said with a smirk as he jumped up and back kicked Crow in the head making the mutated boy land in the water. "Did you know that going into the second state can kill you if you use it too long?" Orochimaru questioned and Crow growled.

"What the hell do I care?! The only thing I want is you dead, Hebi-teme!?" Crow roared and Orochimaru chuckled to himself.

"Well, be that as it may... Haven't you ever wondered why you've never been killed by your second state?" Orochimaru questioned and even mutated, Crow's mind knew that he had a point... "Did you know there's actually several different version's of the Curse Seal?" Orochimaru questioned and Crow raised a brow. "Their were many different things made into a Curse Seal, each one different than the last." Orochimaru explained then chuckled darkly. "But each one comes at a price! All but one of the Curse Seals eat away at your chakra until there is nothing left! While the Hell Curse Seal... Well... There's is a much different price." Orochimaru stated and Crow growled tightening his grip on Dark-Seed.

"Whatever the fuck it is can kiss my spiky ass! I don't give a god-damn if it's devouring my soul! I have the power right now to destroy you and I will!" Crow roared lunging at Orochimaru once more and swinging the Dark-Seed. Orochimaru laughed as he ducked down and then flip kicked Crow back into the water and to his ass.

"Actually, I'm not through yet. As I was saying, the Demon and Hell Curse seal's still comes at a price. However, unlike the other Curse seal's, using the Second state will not kill the user of the Hell Curse seal..." Orochimaru explained and Crow frowned.

"How so?" He questioned annoyedly and Orochimaru grinned.

"Oh that's simple. Hell's seal is given at birth, while your still in the mother's womb. It layed dormant for year's feeding off your chakra coils, making them thicken as you age so you won't be killed by it, and then when it is released... Well... You know. But as a side effect that only you have, as you are the only one with the Hell seal, you lose the ability to use long to mid range jutsu!" Orochimaru explained, then laughed humorously and Crow shook with barely restrained rage.

"I don't see what's so fucking funny Hebi-Teme!! Because of your gad damned seal I'm reduced to only being able to use Supplementary Jutsu for the rest of my natural life!!" Crow roared lunging at Orochimaru and cutting him Horizontally. Crow grinned insanely seeing this then his eye's widened as the Orochimaru in front of him turned into mud... still grinning widely at him... "ARRRRGGGGHHH... DAMN YOU OROCHIMARU! DAMN YOU TO HELL!" Crow roared into the sky as dusk began to fall in the forest. He growled and cut down a nearby tree with a single slash eye's wide in rage, before he then heard someone scream and growled... "Sasuke... He found him..." With that Crow placed Dark-Seed on his back and jumped into the tree's, then sprinted in them running towards the scream and hopefully Orochimaru as well...

--------------------

(With Shinobi...)

Shinobi and Fear fought threw the tree's. Fear floating backwards as Shinobi ran after him. 'Hmm. He's attempting to keep us separated... An excellent plan, but utterly useless against us.' Shinobi thought to himself as he jumped towards Fear and swung Luce at him. However Fear simply dropped down while still floating and Shinobi passed over him. "Impressive Mortal. I am amazed you have managed to keep up with me..." Fear intoned lip's and face still unmoving as he looked at the silver haired young man.

"It's not really that surprising. After all, I'm not exactly mortal..." Shinobi said and Fear quirked a brow up slightly. The young nin used this minor distraction to run up a tree then jump toward's Fear. Fear simply shook his head and raised his right sleeve. (Cause you can't see his hand's.) With it and a slight tremble, one of the nearby tree's shot out of the ground and then splintered into several large and sharp pole's.

"Now let the real battle begin..." Fear intoned as he forced all the pole's to head for Shinobi. The young nin nearly swore as the first grazed his right leg and then a few his back. He then started to use his Wakizashi's to either block or cut them and jump from one of the pole's to the next in order to evade them. Fear seemed to frown, even though his face didn't change mood's, as he then raised his left sleeve and made several more tree's rise up and splinter. Shinobi's eye's widened only so slightly behind his visor/Hittai-Ate, as then the hundred's of splintered tree's shot out at him.

Shinobi grunted as a few of the sharp splinter's cut threw the armor and skin on his chest, but he made due by then using his Wakizashi's to block the splinter's. Fear's arm's moved in a flurry as he flung the splinter's at Shinobi, then caught them before they fell to the ground, only to fling them back at the masked nin without pause. Shinobi growled as he then spun Luce and Umbra in hand and then spun his whole body in order to deflect the many splinter's that were aimed at him. He then stopped, landing on one of the splinter's, and combined Luce and Umbra at the hilt to make a Nagi-nata.

"STRYKE RAID!" He shouted and flung his Nagi-nata at the G.O.P. the two blade's spinning like a whirlwind as they approached him, cutting threw the splinter's. Fear flung himself back to avoid the attack, loosing his control of the numerous splinter's in the area and Shinobi raced forward, jumping from Splinter to Splinter in order to stay in the air. He then reached the last Splinter near Fear, caught Luce and Umbra in hand as he then leaped off the splinter and used a round house kick to Fear's face. He then spun and elbowed him in the face, punched him in the chin, kicked the G.O.P. in the side, raised his leg to kick him in the chin and knock him off balance, elbowed him in the neck, and finally used the remaining momentum he had and delivered a massive punch to Fear's face that sent him sailing into the ground below.

Shinobi panted as he also fell, but he then took Luce and Umbra, without enjoining there hilt's, and threw Luce at a tree, a wire coming from ware the hilt was still connected to umbra and he held on. Shinobi landed against the tree in time to have a splintered tree lodge into his arm, causing him to cry out and nearly release Luce and Umbra. "An impressive attack Mortal, but still not enough." Came the dead sounding tone of Fear as he floated back into the sky, barely a scratch on his pale feature's.

"What the hell are you?" Shinobi questioned grimacing as he pulled the large wooden splinter from his shoulder. The Guardian's face could almost be classified as amused as the question was received by his ear's... Almost.

"What I am, is of little importance to you mortal. All you need know is that you will die for standing in my way..." Fear intoned darkly floating higher into the air and resuming his previous action's of flinging the large deadly splinter's at Shinobi. The masked nin grunted as he flipped off his tree, landing on one of the splinter's then jumping off it as another hit that Splinter, pulling Luce out of the tree it was embedded in and back to himself as he did so. 'This is insane, he's more than a match for me with only Luce and Umbra at my aide... I'd hoped to save that for later, but it appears that I'll have to swallow my pride on this one...' Shinobi thought to himself and then detached Luce and Umbra from one another before sheathing them at his lower back.

He then unraveled his sash and quickly grabbed Luce and Umbra before they fell. He jumped back from a Splinter as he then placed Luce and Umbra into a pair of strip's of leather at his waist armor's side's. That dealt with for the moment, Shinobi then jumped up and up, higher and higher, until he was finally out of the Splinter's. He then touched his shoulder and used the blood as he rolled his sash outwards spreading the blood along a seal that was inside of the sash. With a plume of smoke something fell out of the sash and Shinobi gripped it with his left hand tightly as he then smirked beneath his mask. "AIR TRICK!" Shinobi shouted vanishing and reappearing in a blur before Fear whose eye's widened ever so slightly. "Now then..." Shinobi growled as he took hold of something to his side.

"Akumagakure's most sacred technique! OMNI SLASH!!" Shinobi shouted then Unsheathed an O-katana and began to slash at Fear multiple time's moving at super sonic speed's, before ending it with one final, powerful, chakra enhanced vertical slash that cut him in half straight down the middle. As Fear stood there before Shinobi both then fell towards the ground, Shinobi's O-katana sheathed, the yellow ribbon flowing off the handle fluttering in the air as Fear fell into numerous pieces and fell to the ground also. "Thank you... Yamato... For lending me your strength..." Shinobi said lightly to the sword as he hit a tree branch and panted heavily, sweat falling from his brow as the numerous cut's on his body all seemed to heal on their own...

--------------------

(With Camior...)

He hated this... This thing was SOOO annoying! All it did was slash at him with it's claw's and try to bite him with those freaky teeth! What kind of monster was he fighting? The emo freak from hell?! Camior quickly shook his head as he jumped backwards, as the G.O.P. lunged at him once more. "You know... You could actually TRY and hit me..." He intoned dryly sounding both bored and annoyed.

Temptation roared and then ran straight at Camior who raised one hand and yawned, lifting his fist and punching the weak G.O.P. "What the hell ever made you a threat to anyone I'll never know..." He muttered to himself as Temptation then looked around and he raised a brow. Temptation then seemed to vanish into then air and Camior blinked. "What the hell... Did I win already?" He questioned looking around confused then blinked as he heard something whisper into his ear's...

Unknown to Camior Temptation was still their, only NOW he was showing what his true power was. He was behind Camior and was whispering into Camior's ear, his long tongue slithering out of his mouth every now and again... Camior's eye's dulled slightly as he began to sway unable to block out the Guardian's voice... "Power... Father... Stop... Gate... Hell... Sin... Tower... Vergil... Key... Mother... Revenge... Death..." He mumbled incoherently before furrowing his brow. "No... Stop it... Get outa my head!" Camior growled grasping his head in his hand's as Temptation continued to whisper into his ear.

Temptation would have grinned, had his mouth allowed it, or if he didn't always have a toothy grin thanks to his teeth. He then quickly narrowed his eye's and then stabbed the claw's into Camior's hand's, the black and red clad teen letting out a howl of pain. Temptation then moved his feet and the claws there embedded themselves into the back of his feet. Then finally with a roar of some sort Temptation bit Camior's neck from behind. Even as Camior screamed in pain, Temptation moved his arm's and leg's as if they were now it's own.

'Shit... This fucking hurts! This freak is using me like some warped kind of puppet... OUCH!!! DAMN IT I HATE THIS GOD-DAMNED FUCKING THING!!!' Camior screamed in his mind as Temptation then moved Camior's sword arm pointing Rebellion straight for the boy's chest. Camior growled as he tried to break free but it seemed as though Temptation had somehow taken control. 'If I let this fucking freak kill me I bet Ver will bring me back from hell... just to kick my ass around for losing...' Camior thought to himself then grinned. There was no way in HELL he was losing to this freak!

However Temptation choose that moment to plunge Rebellion deep inside of Camior then released the boy, letting him fall to the ground. Temptation made noises that seemed LIKE laughter but no one would classify it as such technically. The beast then turned it's back to Camior and started to run off when it felt a pulsation and slid to a stop. The beast looked at Camior as one of his hand's curled into tight fist's. Then Rebellion's mouth opened it's eye's turning red briefly as the two Arm bone's then moved up along the blade. With a blast of power Rebellion exploded upwards out of Camior's body and the boy caught the weapon and Temptation's eye's widened.

Camior's skin then turned a deep obsidian, white thickened scale's on the top of his right forearm. His coat mutated into a pair of wing's that curled around his waist, a crimson circular gem on his chest that glow's, a silver bracer on his left forearm and the back of his hand, red trim at the sleeve. A pair of thickened scale's on his shoulder's, which were gray with a red trim around them, making them look like armor. Thick scale's at his left elbow, and it seemed the collar of his coat had fused with his neck making him look like he had no chin. Taloned finger's with spiked knuckle's, three red scale like band's along his right arm. Around his waist and down his leg's were black patch's of thickened scale's, at his knees were a pair of demonic skull's that had three eye slit's, red energy crackled three the three stripe's on both of his leg's down his shins. His feet now had a pair of talon's on them making them look like hooves. On his head had a silver helmet that curved down into a V in between his eyes, curled down the side's of his face to point inward, and curled down his neck, almost like it was his hair. His eye's were glowing a fierce blue with a pair of blue line's traveling down his check's like tear's, both glowing brightly.

Camior with a roar took hold of Rebellion as it fell and launched himself at Temptation. The G.O.P. growled and lunged at the Devil before him slashing across his chest with his claw's only to have Camior do the same only to his face. Temptation stumbled back then Camior punched him in the chin, sending the GOP flying into the air as he sheathed Rebellion on his back. Camior quickly unfolded the pair of wing's from around his waist and jumped into the air eye's glowing brightly as he opened his fanged mouth to smile as he formed several hand seals' not native to the other elemental country's. "Akumagakure's most secret technique! METEOR!!" The devil roared holding his hand's into the air and scarlet energy began to form into a large orb above his hand's.

Temptation hit a tree branch, howling in pain, only to blink when it saw the attack Camior was getting ready to use. "I am Dirge, son of the great devil hunter, Dante!! AND YOU WILL NOT DEFEAT ME!!!" Camior shouted angrily his voice a demonic roar as the energy above him crackled angrily. He then brought the energy back slightly only to hurl it forward to hurl the ball of blinding energy directly at a gaping Temptation. With a mighty blast and loud explosion the GOP was enveloped by the attack shrieking in pain as it was torn apart. As the blast cleared, rather than a crater or a tree, their now seemed to be an enormous field ware once several tree's, and such stood... No sign of the Guardian any ware... "Pathetic..." Camior growled annoyedly as he then floated gently to the ground and looked himself over. "So then... This is the power, of a true devil..." He mused to himself as he looked at his form, only for his body to spark and revert to his human form.

"Whoa... Major time limit..." Camior muttered stumbling and then falling to his knee's. "Damn it... I must have... Must have used to much power..." He mumbled before falling forward onto his face... "Ver you better find me..." He muttered into the tree branch before closing his eye's and falling into unconsciousness...

--------------------

(With Shadow...)

Shadow gulped as she shakily stood in front of Naruto who was looking at Guilt annoyedly. "I won't let you take him you freak." She stated as firmly as she could, even while her entire body was shaking. Guilt seemed to simply shake his head and walked forward, towards the two. "I said stay back!" The girl exclaimed and Guilt continued to walk forward. "Alright then..." Shadow said then removed her Hittai-Ate, revealing a small crescent moon design on her forehead, and did three hand seal's. "Secret Jutsu! Awakening of the Sangan Eye!" She exclaimed as then the moon on her forehead opened to reveal an extra red eye making the G.O.P. halt.

"So you've awakened the Sangan eye... And at such a young age too... You're families famous for that eye you know." Guilt said more to himself than Shadow and the girl smirked. "However, that eye is extremely limited. All it does is allow your body to move even if you're unconscious. What POSSIBLE Purpose could it serve in combat?" Guilt questioned and Shadow grinned.

"Actually, it's pretty much th best for this next Jutsu!" Shadow exclaimed then performed a single hand-seal. "Secret Jutsu! Anti-Form Awakening!" She exclaimed as her eye's glazed over, her body falling to it's knee's just as the Sangan eye seemed to open wide. Then in front of Guilt a shadow slithered out of the ground and opened a pair of red eye's, then it opened a mouth that was grinning only comprised of red energy. "See what I mean?" Shadow asked in a hissing voice as her shadow form then crouched.

Guilt actually whistled and then chuckled to himself. "So that's what the Sangan's for... It's so your body can protect itself while your controlling a shadow body. A body that can't be harmed because it's not real... That's a really nice jutsu." Guilt said while nodding his head to himself before getting into his own combat stance. "However, it won't save you from me." He stated and Shadow's grinning Shadow seemed to grin wider now to an inhuman length.(If you've ever seen the close up of the Doppleganger in DMC3 you'll notice it's grinning, that's basically what Shadow looks like right now only more feminine obviously.)

Guilt and Shadow lunged at one another as Naruto sat back and watched. Shadow crouched down and spun knocking Guilt off balance as she then kicked upwards into Guilt's chin. Guilt smirked as he then used his "Kage no Hiraishin" to appear behind Shadow and attempted to punch her. However, the girl sank into the ground, making Naruto gawk, as she then reformed behind Guilt, her grin wider than ever. She then grabbed Guilt from behind and then lifted him up. "You're VERY strong..." Guilt stated and Shadow nodded before crouching and jumping into the air with Guilt. She then re-morphed into a shadow and wrapped around Guilt who landed on the ground groaning as Shadow slithered off his body and laughed darkly. "Note to self, Never piss off a Negrado..." Guilt muttered to himself, even though Naruto had similar thought's at the moment.

Shadow then jumped up and sank into the ground making Guilt groan. When he did several spike's made from the shadow's jumped from the ground at him and he nearly cursed. The GOP flipped backwards from the attack as Shadow then came out of the ground and lunged forward, changing into a buzz saw like thing and Guilt did curse while rolling to the side. 'Okay... She's the youngest in her family from what has been said... And she's this damn strong... I'm never pissing off her family if I can help it...' Naruto thought with a grimace as he imagined what could happen if he did piss them off.

Guilt let out a breath only to curse loudly as Shadow made her arm's thiner and then they lengthened to try and impale him. "Damn it! I hate Shadow's!" Guilt exclaimed as then the girl grinned wider and became part of the ground again, once more spike's came at Guilt who ran backwards to evade them. "Don't you EVER get tired?!" Guilt demanded as Shadow came out of the ground.

"No, my body isn't even exerting itself. So why should I be tired?" Shadow questioned humorously with a still grinning shadow face. (Come on her family are able to make living Shadows, so the abilities of the "Shadow" and "Doppleganger" enemies in DMC1 and DMC3 seem like they would be perfect for them!) Guilt just inwardly groaned as then the girl sank into the ground and grew to envelope the Guardian within herself. Guilt growled as he then narrowed his eye's.

"This ends NOW!!!" He roared and formed a spinning orb of black chakra into his hand. "KAGE RASENGAN/ Shadow Spiraling Sphere!!" He shouted and slammed the orb forward, knocking Shadow off him as her Shadow form loudly shrieked in pain as it was assaulted by the attack. She reformed on the ground near Naruto, holding herself and was now frowning rather than grinning as she shook in pain. Guilt panted slightly and walked towards Naruto.

"That wasn't very nice..." Came a cold voice as Shadow's human body looked at guilt, her eye's still half lidded and glassy, save the Sangan eye which had narrowed on the G.O.P. "She did not deserve such a merciless attack." Whoever was in Shadow's body said while rising to her feet.

"What the fuck!!" Guilt exclaimed as both he and Naruto gawked, then looked to the still grounded "Shadow Form Shadow" and then "Human Shadow" and both drew a blank.

"Okay, I'm confused here. Isn't Shadow supposed to be inside that... Doppleganger over there?" Naruto asked while looking for the right word for Shadow's form and Doppleganger sounded about right.

"Don't look at me, I'm just as confused by this as you are..." Guilt said while looking at Shadow who smirked.

"Yes I can see that. But the answer is simply this. The Sangan Eye is not in anyway a weak Jutsu. It, or rather, "I" am alive." She said and Naruto and Guilt still looked at her confused, making the girl frown. "Technically, I'm the Sangan eye, Shadow is still in that "Anti-Form" over there, not a Doppleganger, I'm merely taking control of her body while she fights." "Sangan" said with her arm's still crossed.

"Makes about as much sense as anything I could come up with..." Guilt muttered rubbing the back of his head. Sangan simply smirked then looked to Shadow with a small frown.

"Her injuries aren't major, however that attack did do some damage..." Sangan mused then formed a string of hand seals. "Secret Jutsu! Shadowed Rebirth!" She exclaimed and Shadow started to grin as her body began to glow with a fierce purple light. She then slowly started to mutate, no longer looking exactly like her original Anti-Form.

Her eye's became thin slit's, her mouth still an impossibly large grin of red energy, her body mostly comprised of black shadow's. However, now on her shoulder's, the shadow's were a dark violet armor, the same thing also happened on her toe's, knee's, and elbow's making thick purple armor appear over Shadow's Anti-Form. Then the hand's of the Anti-Form gained claw's, it's own Pointed ear's became more pronounced as her hair came loose from it's ponytail, and a third eye opened on it's head. It's shadowy clothes then changed to make her look like she wore nothing, however what looked like tattered sleeve's came over her hand's, and down her waist like a long shirt or half skirt. Then around her neck, a purple necklace of some sort formed, and last a red sphere appeared in her chest, pulsing with power.

"Whoa..." Naruto muttered as Shadow cracked her neck and Sangan fell to her knee's.

"My Chakra is depleting... Your on your own here on out Shadow..." Sangan muttered and her Sangan eye closed as she fell to the ground leaving the Anti-Form to grin at Guilt wider than before.

"Well then... Shall we dance?" Guilt questioned of Shadow getting into a fighting stance making Shadow's monster grin become wider than ever. "Man. That is the creepiest smile I've ever seen!" Guilt said and Naruto nodded his head in agreement, a small that reached a person's ear's was creepy no matter how much it might look cool. Shadow snickered at the crack and held her hand to the side, the shadow's around her then came alive and wrapped around her arm, then forming a sword and Naruto's jaw dropped.

"What is with this family and swords?!?" He demanded and Shadow chuckled once more, the sound of her Anti-form laughing actually being more disturbing than her grin. Shadow then looked at Guilt and seemed to charge in an odd way as her speed wasn't that fast but she was glowing purple. Guilt jumped out of the way as Shadow brought her sword down producing a slash of energy along the ground that only barely missed the G.O.P.

"Shit... That would be SO cool if it wasn't gonna hurt me!" Guilt said slightly amazed by the abilities of the "Anti-Form" Kekkei-Genkai despite himself having more power... Then shadow held her empty hand towards Guilt who tilted his head, Shadow's wrapped around the girl's arm once more only this time a black orb of darkness shot out of her hand towards Guilt who cursed and rolled out of the way only for Shadow to appear in front of him and slash at him. Guilt held up his arm's, using the chain's on them to hold the girl's blade back then pushed her away.

Shadow stepped back away from Guilt for a second then pointed below his feet and the G.O.P. blinked and looked down. Below him opened a large vortex that then swallowed him whole. Shadow then quickly jumped up and fell into the shadow's below leaving Naruto to look around and wonder what the hell just happened.

Meanwhile Guilt landed in a world of total darkness as Shadow rose up before him and laughed her sinister little laugh. Guilt growled and crouched into a Taijutsu stance only for something to try and grab him from behind. Guilt rolled out of the way and turned only to see Shadow there still grinning. "This is my world. Here I make the rules." Shadow said still grinning as she vanished into the darkness and Guilt groaned loudly. He then looked around and could have pulled his hair out in frustration as the girl was no ware in sight. Then he grunted as she briefly appeared to cut him on his right shoulder.

Guilt looked around then ducked another attack tackling the girl into a wall that came out of no ware. He then flipped back and held his left hand to the side. Shadow vanished once more her eye's and purple armor fading into the darkness around him. "Alright Missy, no more playing around! I'm done playing hide and seek!" Guilt stated loudly as Shadow appeared behind him. "Gotcha!" He exclaimed and slammed another black orb of spiraling chakra into the girl, only this time at point blank range.

The Attack hit and suddenly shot Shadow up, Guilt used his "Kage no Hiraishin" and followed her out of the dark world. They landed back in the Forest of Death with Shadow screaming bloody murder as she was propelled upwards, only to fade into nothing but some shadow's that then vanished and the real Shadow groaned in pain. Naruto frowned as he saw this and glared at Guilt, shakily standing up. He then looked to Shadow and smiled. "Thanks for giving me the time to rest..." He said and then glared at Guilt who was panting softly.

"She knew she couldn't beat me... So she tired me out so YOU could... Sneaky little minx isn't..." Guilt said and Naruto narrowed his eye's on the G.O.P. However before the two could begin Naruto felt a pulling sensation and saw black...

--------------------

(Mind Scape...)

Naruto reopened his eye's, only to find himself in a place that seemed similar to a sewer. He then looked down on his own body only to realize that all of his wound's seemed to have vanished. "What the hell..." Naruto muttered as he stood up in the ankle deep water and looked around. A red glow came from a path up ahead, a blackish purple one to it's right. Naruto walked up to the path and looked down both of the glowing path's, finally choosing the red one. As he walked he noticed a few door's here and there, also pipe's were above him with odd writing or designs on all of them.

It was then he found it, a large cage that was at least fifty to sixty feet tall, a pair of burning red eye's peering out at him from behind the incredibly thick bar's. A simply lock on the front with a piece of paper over it that simply said "Seal"... "Man... That has to be the dumbest seal I've ever seen..." Naruto muttered shaking his head, I mean really, couldn't it have at least been a little less blatant?

"So then, we meet at last mortal..." Came a deep demonic grumble from behind the cage and Naruto looked to the red eye's and smirked.

"What happened to the female voice, eh?" He questioned and one of the eye's behind the cage twitched ever so slightly.

"Hmmm... Very well..." The voice muttered and the eye's shrank until their was only a pair of human sized eye's in the cage glaring at him. "Now then back to business." Came a female's voice and Naruto smirked.

"Uh huh... Say... Were you on your period when you attacked Konoha?" Naruto asked with a small smirk as then the Kyuubi lunged at the bar's.

"NO!!! I WAS NOT YOU INSOLENT LITTLE BRAT!!" She shouted and Naruto got a good look at her, most surprised by the fact she looked barely seventeen years old. She had long, blood colored hair like himself only it darkened halfway down turning black by the tips of her hair. A pair of crimson slitted eye's, clawed finger's, fair skin, and a curvy body, Black fix ear's on the top of her head, a fluffy red fox tail with white fur on the end, and whisker marks on her cheek's like his own. She was wearing a pair of black sandles like he had, only with snow show attachment's to make a pair of boot's. A pair of black leather shin and wrist protector's which also covered the back of each of her hands. A pair of red Hakama type pants, with black leather armor similar to Shinobi's around her waist. A black kimono under a red robe that had the left sleeve ripped off of both her right sleeve covering her right arm. (Basically, think of Inu-Yasha's outfit, only with a black Kimono beneath it and missing the right sleeve, Sheshomaru's waist armor /minus the chest and shoulder parts/, and then the sandles and shin and wrist protector's mentioned.)

"If you say so..." Naruto said with a shrug, although he had to admit... Kyuubi was actually pretty cute...

"I swear! All men are insensitive jerks!" Kyuubi exclaimed throwing her hand's up and falling back onto her ass. She then blinked and glared at Naruto angrily as he smirked.

"Now then, seeing as we've determined you weren't on your period... Although with how bitchy you seem, how anyone could tell either way, I'll never know... Why did you attack Konoha?" Naruto said then asked and Kyuubi blinked.

"Shouldn't you be wondering ware you are? Or... Why I brought you here?" She asked with a confused look and Naruto rolled his eye's.

"Like I've been trying to tell everyone. My IQ is much higher than I let on. This is probably my mind. I came to this conclusion because of the fact I'm uninjured and your here. At the moment I don't care why I'm here cause Time moves differently in the mind than the outside world. Oh and last, I just really wanna know what you felt was a good enough reason to attack my home village." Naruto explained arm's crossed and looking at Kyuubi evenly. The fox girl blinked several time's then scratched her head lightly.

"Oh... Okay..." She mumbled and Naruto frowned. This was the GREAT Kyuubi no Yoko? What a jip... "Well... I didn't MEAN to attack... I just sorta... Lost my temper..." Kyuubi said with a sheepish look and Naruto raised a brow.

"Um hmm..." He said arm's crossed and Kyuubi sighed.

"Fine... First off, I'm not the "Kyuubi no Yoko" I'm his daughter. And I do have a name, call me Vulpina." "Vulpina" said and Naruto blinked... Well that explained one thing that was bugging him... "My dad, the original Kyuubi was sealed into hell, thirty or so year's ago in a place called "Hebungakure" because he tried to destroy them. It took Nine of the strongest Ninja in this world, but they managed to seal dear old pop's up." Vulpina said sitting cross legged and Naruto nodded his head slowly. "Only one of these warrior's survived the battle and he was also the first "Onikage". The old man, as I liked to call him, and his friend's took pity on me, and I was raised in a Ninja village called Akumagakure." Vulpina explained and Naruto smirked... Why did this sound like it could have happened to him?

"Continue." Naruto said sitting down also and Vulpina sighed.

"Okay, I'll summarize what happened here kid otherwise Guilt out there will kill you before I finish. I was sent to make one true friend, came to Konoha, made more than one friend, one betrayed me. That friend Tried to force me to give him my power, and then had the gall to say he'd make me his whore! Yeah! DO YOU REALY THINK I'M NOT GONNA LAY DOWN SOME FEMALE WRATH ON THAT POMPUS UCHIHA'S ASS!?!" Vulpina explained quickly then shouted angrily and Naruto rubbed the back of his neck...

"Okay... Good reason to go ballistic all thing's considered... But... Did you have to destroy almost half the village? Why not just the Uchiha sector?" Naruto questioned and Vulpina had the decency to look sheepish.

"Well... When he said, and I quote "I'll make you my demonic little fuck toy."... I kinda saw red... Allot of red... And went into a berserker state most demons' are known for..." She explained and Naruto frowned.

"I think you should know... Itachi Uchiha... Killed all the other's..." Naruto said with a smirk and Vulpina grinned showing her fanged teeth.

"HA! Take that Fugaku-Teme! That'll teach you not to fuck with me ever again!!!" Vulpina shouted with a raised fist and then sat happily smiling and humming a tune...

"Wow... It's easy to please you, huh?" Naruto asked and Vulpina shrugged.

"If you two are FINALLY done with this fascinating, yet entirely pointless conversation. Can we get back to why you're even here..." Came the voice of Vengeance from behind Naruto. Said former blond turned slightly to see Vengeance himself leaning against a wall with an annoyed look on his face.

Vengeance mostly looked like Naruto, only his hair was spiked upwards, his skin was darker, the whisker mark's were thicker, and his eye's were slanted and in the Kamigan state. He was wearing black Shinobi sandles like Naruto, only with the Snowshoe attachment's to make them into steel toed boot's. A pair of black Shinobi pants with a Kunai holster on his right thigh, thick leather armor around his waist that only covered his hips. A skintight black shirt with armor on his stomach and shoulder's, three spike's on each shoulder pointing up, and a mask for his face that was rolled down onto his neck. His right arm had wrapping's around his from his upper arm down, his left having a black glove like the ANBU, his hand's having clawed finger's. His Hittai-Ate was tied around his forehead but had horn's growing off of it and had a black cloth which was long in the back. On his arm's were a pair of oddly designed Gauntlet's however.

They were blood red, with a silver two foot long blade attached to each wrist that pointed back. A covering over each hand that had three slot's at the knuckle's, with a black device under it along the bottom of his forearm that made an arrow at the bottom of his wrist. Chain's wrapped around his upper arm's to curl behind his back and were black in color. Thicker Dark gray armor was running along the back of the Gauntlet's up to his elbow's with thick black bracelet's around his wrist's to hold them tightly to his arms.

"Are you done staring?" Vengeance then asked in a growl and Naruto nodded his head slowly. "Good, cause we have abit of a problem. You can't use Kyuubi's Chakra properly with the Kamigan." Vengeance stated and Naruto blinked.

"Uhhh... Okay... Whys that?" Naruto asked wondering how this guy knew more than he did.

"Not completely sure myself. But it appears something about the Kamigan prevents Demonic Chakra from staying in you for very long... On a much brighter note it also keeps her from controlling you... However this is bad in our present situation, so I'd suggest having Vul-chan over there change your Gauntlet's to look like mine, then let me take over... I'll beat that Pansy ass Guardian of pain..." Vengeance said while grinning widely and Vulpina nodded her head in agreason then blinked before she glared at the spare personality.

"Who exactly gave you permission to call me 'Vul-chan'!?" The fox girl demanded and Vengeance smirked.

"You're behind a cage... Aren't you?" He questioned still smirking as Vulpina bristled growling at the red head angrily.

"Hey, don't kill each other." Naruto said looking at the two only to be glared at by Vulpina. "Err... Right... Vengeance, why would I release you? Why can't I fight this Guardian guy?" Naruto questioned but Vulpina butted into the conversation.

"HOLD IT! Time out! No! You are NOT fighting those freak's! They want you, so I'd suggest RUNNING! I learned a few thing's about them in my travels and none of them are good!!" Vulpina exclaimed and Vengeance rolled his eye's.

"In case you've forgotten, oh almighty Kitsune. We tried that earlier, with some pretty bad result's. The only course of action available to us is to fight this thing like our lives depend on us winning, and quite frankly I'm pretty sure they do." Vengeance explained and Vulpina frowned glaring at the spirit in front of her. "Good. Now then, you need to hold still. Vulpina, morph his gauntlet's when the transformation hit's, we can't use your power's and the Kamigan at the same time. But I would rather NOT fight that thing without the Penance Stare as a trump card. So instead, we fuse some of your power with the Gauntlet's so we don't have to worry about a time limit." Vengeance stated, Vulpina then looked thought and although started glaring at him again, she nodded her head. Red chakra then seeped from her cage and into Naruto whose eye's widened as then Vengeance cracked his neck and smirked. "Lets get this party... STARTED!"

--------------------

(Real World...)

As Guilt looked at Naruto he was suddenly pushed back by a fiery red chakra as then Naruto started to bob his head lightly. Slowly the Gauntlet's he got from Kakashi mutated into the red bladed gauntlet's that Vengeance wore. Then out of the slot's on his knuckle's three sharp, claw shaped knives's came out. The chain's then wrapped around his arm's before then shooting out of his wrist and to the ground as claw's and fang's grew. His hair then seemed to stick straight up almost looking like fire as it waved in the air, his skin darkening to a tan hue. His whisker mark's thickened as then the Kamigan came alive and glared at Guilt.

Vengeance smirked as then grabbed the chain's hanging from his wrist's and crouched down. "Now then. Ware were we?" Vengeance questioned grinning at Guilt while the GOP looked at the now Transformed Naruto and blinked.

"So... You finally ready to fight me?" Guilt questioned softly and Vengeance nodded his head. "Pity... It's you're funeral..." Guilt stated lowly crouching down also the two stared one another down then lunged forward, Vengeance swinging the chain from his right arm at Guilt who blocked it with his left arm and punched Vengeance in the chin knocking him back slightly. However Vengeance smirked as then the blade on his left Gauntlet moved to point forward and Vengeance swung at Guilt cutting him along the chest.

"Now then, how's funeral is it gonna be? I don't think I quite got that." Vengeance said with a smirk and Guilt lunged forward as Vengeance jumped up and leapfrogged off the Guardian. He landed then quickly spun and flung the chain from his right gauntlet to wrap around Guilt. Vengeance then smirked and ran towards the Trapped Guardian only for him to lean back and miss having his head cut off. Guilt then flipped back up and head butted Vengeance knocking him back as Guilt then used Kage no Hiraishin to free himself and appear behind Vengeance only to have the blade from his right Gauntlet aimed at his crotch...

"You wouldn't!!" Guilt said and Vengeance grinned.

"Try me ass wipe!" Vengeance stated and Guilt flipped backwards away from the young nin quickly. Vengeance turned with a shit eating grin to look at Guilt who seemed to be glaring at him from behind his mask. "So then... Is this really all you got?" Vengeance questioned baring his fang's at the Guardian who chuckled lightly.

"Not even close..."

"Good... I'd be dissapointed if it was!!"
