Bingo Book Records:

File Number: 151-666

Name: Kyuubi/ Vulpina Foxx

Type: Demon Fox

Element: Fire

Threat:

Synopsis: The Daughter of the "Kyuubi no Kitsune" Vulpina is a powerful Demon who can match most other Demons. Her father the true Kyuubi was a powerful fox who attacked the humans of Hebungakure, only to be stopped by the nine strongest nine of the world. Each one had a different summon, so some called them the "Nine Celestial Shamans", however they found a small kit within the Kyuubi's lair. They took pity on the cub, rather than killing her one of them took hold of her and she nestled into his arms. At that point the true Kyuubi found them and all nine did battle with the fox, until they were forced to use the "Perfect" Shiki Fuujin to seal the Demon into Hell forever.

After the battle, only one of the warriors remained, the warrior was the last to see the demon fox, as it glared at him defiantly even as he was pulled into hell... Leaving his young kit all alone... She was raised by that same warrior, the former Leader of the "Hidden Demon" Village, but unlike Naruto's situation, it was never banned to tell the younger generation about her own burden. As such she developed a cold uncaring personality and masked it with fun and humor, this primarily included all manor of elaborate pranks, and spiteful tricks.

As a result the Kage of the Demon village, ordered young Vulpina to leave their mountainous home and go out into the world and find a friend, then bring them back to their village. His reasoning was that if she could find, even one true friend, that she would no longer be such a lonely child, then her pranks and tricks would stop leaving Vulpina hopefully happy. The girl, at first attempted to run away, however, somehow the watchful eye's of the "Onikage" were always following her and his summons would soon steer her into the direction of the "Village Hidden within the Leaves".

Vulpina, at first, came to this place simply to get something to eat then thought she'd just move on and on. But she ended up going threw a series of events that lead her to making her first friend... All because she had to stop at the Grand Opening of the "Ichiraku Ramen Shop" when she made it to town. Upon making this first friend, Vulpina made several more, the first was a weapons smith named, Sanoske Higorashi, the best blacksmith in the village. Next was Tsunade, and Jaraiya of the Sannin, then Tsunade's little brother, Nawaki, later the Third Hokage began to trust her, then Sakumo and Kakashi Hatake, then Rin Inuzuka and Obito Uchiha became her friends.

She even made friends with one Minato Namikaze, and once even made a bet with him, he catches her in a race and she would teach him a "Fox" technique. Minato excepted and managed to catch Vulpina in an unknown way. Annoyed, yet strangely amused, Vulpina taught Minato the Fox Teleprtation technique, which he later came to name the "Hiraishin no Jutsu". Afterwards she became one of his and "Kushina Uzumaki's" best friends and was even present during their secret wedding.

This had all lead to Vulpina putting off going home, but her guardian watched from afar with a content smile as Vulpina was finally allowed the happiness she always deserved. However, when young Mikoto Uchiha and her fiancé Fugaku met her their was mixed feeling... Mikoto and her became good friends... But Fugaku threw unknown means discovered what she was. He would later befriend her under false pretenses and then even later, betray her in an attempt to force her to give him power. Thus resulting in the attack on Konoha from the Nine tailed fox...

(Forest of Death...)

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'VE ONLY GOT TWO DAY'S LEFT!?" Naruto bellowed with a slack jaw and looking to the nervous looking shadow who started to whistle innocently. "HEY I'M ASKING YOU A QUESTION HERE?! WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP SOONER?!" Naruto demanded of the Negrado girl and she sighed and glared at him while rubbing her right rib.

"You were asleep like a rock. I had no chance of getting you up..." Shadow muttered and Naruto growled.

"Damnit... I have to get up, I have to find Sasuke and Sakura, who knows what could have happened to them by now!" Naruto exclaimed and pushed himself to his feet. Shadow quickly, yet carefully, got up and walked over to push him back down. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded and Shadow sighed.

"Saving your ass before you go and do something stupid... Your still partly injured and your friends are probably Okay. My brothers are out looking for them by now... I can take care of myself after all. But your friends ARE still rookies, my brothers can easily look after them till we arrive... So sit back and regain your strength before you go out and get yourself hurt..." Shadow stated and Naruto frowned glaring at the girl heatedly.

"I don't care. I've got to make sure their alright!" Naruto stated and Shadow placed one of her feet on his chest pinning him down. "Hey, get off!" He shouted and Shadow narrowed her eye's on the boy.

"Keep it up buster... I've got no patience for this at the moment, I need to make sure you read that scroll, THEN we need to rest... We can leave when it's not raining or dark out, so we can actually attempt to find your friends trail... Also read that ANBU scroll, I'm sure it's something useful..." Shadow stated and Naruto growled.

"Why the hell should I do what you say?" He asked and Shadow winced once more and Naruto noticed blood on her side and dripping down from under her Hittai-ate. "What the... Your injured!" Naruto exclaimed and Shadow rolled her eye's.

"No shit sherlock..." She muttered lowly and then walked with a limp back to her place and sat down...

"Then... You want to rest because YOUR injured, not because of my own..." Naruto stated and Shadow frowned.

"No. I've got to make sure you stay alive, I can't do that properly out their in this condition... In here I have the advantage against most enemies... And before you ask why it's because this "Shelter" is completely in shadowed, which means my Anti-Form will be that much more powerful..." Shadow stated then explained and Naruto frowned.

"You... Your risking your life for someone you don't even know that well." Naruto stated and Shadow shrugged her shoulders disinterestedly.

"I've done it before, and for stranger reasons..." She told him seriously acting like it was nothing. Naruto frowned slightly, staring at the girl strangely as she sat against the root behind her... "What? Stop looking at me like that, I'm an Oninin, it's like my job to make sure everyone survives a mission..." She stated and looked outside the "Shelter" that was actually overgrown tree roots.

"Right... So... I'm supposed to read the scrolls?" He stated then questioned and she nodded her head slowly, before she reached into a pouch at her side and pulled out a pill, she then popped it into her mouth.

"Also, they might have blood seals..." She absently added as an afterthought, and Naruto nodded his head. He looked at the scroll Shadow had tossed him, then pulled one out of his coat and frowned, on the front of this one was a smiley face with spiky hair and two hands making "Peace" signs beside it's head...

"Axel..." He muttered shaking his head slowly and Shadow raised a brow when he said the name. "He's an ANBU member, but I don't know what devision he's in for sure..." Naruto explained and she nodded her head slowly, then reached into her pouch again and popped in another pill of some sort. "What are those?" He questioned and she smiled softly.

"Blood and Chakra pills. Their to help replenish my chakra without the adverse side effects of Soldier pills, and resupply me with the blood that I'm losing... If I had one I'd take a Regen Pill, and be done with my wounds altogether... But those damn thing's cost quite a pretty penny... Oh wait... Vergil has one or two of those..." Shadow explained, then muttered, and finally remembered at the end. Judging by the name, Naruto figured that meant they were some sort of pill that made you regenerate from wounds... He really needed to get himself a bunch of those... "Hey, get to those scrolls already!" Shadow ordered loudly, golden colored eyes glaring at him and Naruto blinked before slowly nodding his head.

He looked at the Uzumaki scroll and noticed it had a red swirl on it with a seal. He bit his finger lightly and smeared some blood onto the seal, then added some chakra to it. The seal vanished before his eye's and the scroll unraveled to allow him to read... Or rather skimmed threw the Scroll for a bit before raising a brow. 'Basically it's just a history of, not just your family, but also the origins of the Bijuu, Chakra, and Ninja also... Or just a brief history of why the world is so messed up in general.' Vulpina explained thoughtfully in Naruto's head and the boy frowned slightly...

'The world was invaded by demons? Did you know that Vulpina?' He read to himself then questioned of the fox in his head. 'No, but that DOES explain why my dad and the others are on your world... After all, most Demons live in hell...' Volpina said thoughtfully to Naruto who blinked and frowned to himself.

"So that's the history of the Ninja nations... And of the original Kekkei-Genkai... Were all descended from demons and angels...?" Naruto questioned with a raised brow and Shadow sighed rubbing her side once more.

"Mostly demons actually. It's very rare you'll be descended from an Angel... As a matter of fact, I don't know of that many families descended from angels that still exist..." She stated and Naruto nodded his head slowly, then pulled out Axel's scroll and unrolled it also smiling when he saw the first sentence in big, bold, letters.

Hey Naruto! This is Axel, and I'd just like to say congrats on making it to the second part of the Chunin exam.

Now then you're probably in a hurry so I'll just summarize this. Your mom gave me a scroll to give to you. It's got info on your Kekkei-Genkai, sorry I didn't give it to you sooner but It slipped my mind... Anyways, you should also know your mom kind of scattered the other scrolls with your Family stuff in them all over. The Onikage of Akumagakure no Sato has the one for your clan history. A guy named Sanoske Higorashi has your Clans Taijutsu style. Mister Teuchi Ichiraku has one on your Clans Customs and the like. I think Crow's mom gave him your family summoning Scroll. And last Sandaime-sama has the one with your Family Jutsu and techniques.

I took the liberty of sealing my scroll and some ANBU issue armor like mine into this scroll for you. Also, there should be a mask that belonged to your mom so TAKE CARE OF IT! It's supposedly a "Tenshi" mask and yet it looks kind of odd if you ask me... Don't know ware she got it but it's the only one of it's kind so make sure you don't lose it. Ware it with pride, fight with honor, and live the dream dude! Since your the last of your clan you get multiple wives! YAHOO! I WISH I COULD BE YOU!!

--

Naruto blinked then shook his head with a soft chuckle as he read threw Axel's little note. He then unrolled the scroll and unsealed the first seal... A scroll appeared and Naruto unrolled it also, but then looked at Shadow... "Why are your eye's yellow?" He asked it, it was bugging him like crazy and Shadow simply smiled.

"My eye's change color's naturally... It's a special ability of mine... My hair can even change colors for Kami's sake... I can't change some thing's, like my bone's, muscles, or... Bust size... But I can change the shape of my eyes, their color, my hair color, my hair length... Meaning I can cut it out and regrow it instantly to any length I want... My Skin color and density, Meaning I can make my skin thicker if I want, I can even make Tattoo's appear if I want them... Also I can make my ear's and teeth change to look as different as I want..." Shadow explained and Naruto raised a brow.

"Is that part of your clan's Kekkei-Genkai?" He questioned and Shadow had a frown on her lips.

"I'm not sure... I know I Got the Sangan Eye early thanks to this ability... Dad said it was just useful for me, cause I can change my face and body slightly to deceive our enemies and hide myself from them... Otherwise I've never really thought about it... Dad and my whole family aren't able to do it, but I've never really thought about it... Yeah It's probably a Kekkei-Genkai of some sort that I got from my mom, let's leave it at that... Also, sorry if I ramble on sometimes." Shadow apologized a small blush appearing on her cheeks.

"No problem, it was just bugging me. I mean your eyes went from red to yellow so I could have even thought you had like... A demon in you or something." Naruto stated and Shadow shrugged her shoulder's and winced once more before glaring at her side. "If I might ask Shadow... What do you really look like?" Naruto questioned and Shadow sighed and rather than answer him, her form shifted slightly...

Her hair reached down to the small of her back, was less spiky, but with the same colors(Black with blue streaks). Her lip went from black to a dark gray while her skin turned a pale gray color, exactly like the moon and a scar appeared around her right leg that was stark white, and encircled the knee like it had been cut off. Her eye's which had been narrow before seemed to soften becoming slightly wider now looking cute with bright golden colored eye's. The mark's on her cheek's then vanished and her ear's lengthened into a more pronounced point...

"Yeah, I know I look like a Demonic elf or something..." Shadow muttered and Naruto blinked.

"You don't... Not really... But, does all your family have pointed ears?" He questioned and Shadow looked thoughtful then sighed.

"Yes. It's a trait we inherit from our demonic ancestor. Like the Hyuuga's white eyes and the Yamanaka and Kurama clan's not having pupils. That's why in my "Anti-Form" I have more pronounced ear's, because I can't hide my "True" shape while as a Shadow." Shadow explained and Naruto shrugged his shoulders, nodding to himself before looking at the Scroll left to him by Axel and reading it to himself.

Kamigan Studies...

Writen by Kien Uzumaki

The Kamigan is a power Doujutsu unique to the Uzumaki clan that was a result from a demon having a child with someone of our family. It's main purpose is to deal out judgment onto the wicked and protect the innocent from harm. As a result our family has often been thought of as divine protectors.

The Kamigan's main ability is it's "Aura Sight" which uses no Chakra at all save for activation. This allows an Uzumaki to see the Specific Aura of the many different individuals around us. I have taken the liberty to study this particular ability and have found out what different colors mean.

White: This was seen in the "Hatake" family, in a man I saw in Konohagakure named Sakumo and his family. I have yet to determine the exact cause as to why their aura's are this specific color...

Black: Our own Clans color, it is like this because of our ancestor. Also the creatures known only as, the "Guardians of Pain" have this color.

Red: Demon Energy or Youki. Sometimes seen in Uchihas and Kurama's.


Blue: Human. Normal.

Green: This is for someone attuned with nature. Exp: The Shodaime Hokage.

Transparent: I have seen this ONLY in the Yamanaka clan, possibly due to their Kekkei-Genkai dealing with transferring the mind.

Dark blue: A human with a horrible or evil past.

Light Blue: A human sheltered, kept from harm or worry. Innocent.

Dark Green: A more Beast like nature is in this one, mostly those like the Inuzuka or Aburame would have this color.

Lavender: Hyuuga, possibly due to the combination of the Demon "Red" and Human "Blue".

Violet and Dark Grey: Negrados have Violet, Nara's have Dark Grey. Even though they come from the same family it looks as though the original Kekkei-Genkai has split in half.

Last is the "Moods" of an Aura, they are easily figured out after a while, though no one can hide their aura so you'll always know their mood no matter what, heres a few.

"Bubbly": Distracted, Unfocused.

"Wavy": Embarrassed.

"Spiky": Annoyed.

"Flame Like": Angry.

"Smooth": Calm.

"Slumped": Bored.

"Spinning": Jealous.

"Shaking": Nervous.

"Swirling from the feet": Focused.

"Lightning Like": Excited.

"Jumping": Surprised.

There are more, but it would take far too long to explain all of the different moods. Especially since these are the most common to be seen in the Ninja workplace and the most helpful. Our next ability didn't require much study, the "Lives Vision" ability is pretty cut and dry. You look into someone's eye's directly and you can instantaneously see a persons entire life flash before your eye's. This is often used to "Judge" a person if he is worthy of being saved or not.

Next is the "Pains Pulse" ability. It is one that many in our family cannot fully utilize. It requires the pain and suffering felt by the one using it to be put into the enemy. Or basically it's a weaker Penance Stare. As it only works well with family members that have had a lot of suffering in their life. Next is the "Penance Stare" our families most illustrious technique.

This ability allows members of our bloodline to peer into a mans life, then they see the pain inflicted on others by them, and finally they reverse it onto the enemy, only it's ten times more painful for them. This usually ends with the person become a vegetable, losing their sanity, or falling into a major depression. No one has ever really resisted the Penance Stare, save the Guardians of Pain, but they seem to feed off of Pain itself, it does over load them however...

Next would be the "Spirit of Vengeance". Yes I know it is corny, but one of our ancestors made the name. The Spirit is a second personality within the mind of the Uzumaki, it's their even BEFORE the awakening of the Kekkei-Genkai itself, however is usually dormant. Each Vengeance has been found to have their own... Quirks... Such as my own love's to fling fireballs every ware while laughing like a lunatic... While my mothers loves to read books. My fathers in joy's practicing Taijutsu stances. And there are many other such... Quirks among these beings.

However, Vengeance is a blessing in disguise. He allows us to use the raw power of our Kekkei-Genkai without destroying ourselves. However, this is also good because no one can steal our eye's thanks to vengeance. So we tend to just ignore their... Yellyness...

Next is an ability only a few of us have figured out how to use properly. It is called "Dark Fire" and is a projectile attack unique to our family. From what we've been able to discern the ability is due to the mixture of our aura and chakra which makes a flame that burns other's but not us. This has become useful for some assassination missions as we can set a building or room on fire and then just walk threw the flame's minding our own business. However it is not wise to use these fireballs for extended periods as they sometimes end up depleting our aura, which takes twice as long as chakra to replenish itself no matter how much you have and can lead to extreme exhaustion in the end.

Last, our Kekkei-Genkai has the ability to "Touch" Auras. Basically we can move our aura in different Directions. Hence the term "Flinging Fireballs." But we all seem to have trouble moving or igniting another persons aura. We can do it yes, but it takes more chakra so it's not like the Byakugans ability to block Tenketsu points. But this is not the end, as I have also found that after extended usage, the Kamigan will never shut off, seeing as this reduces the Chakra needed to activate it to nothing this is more helpful than harmful, though does make it harder to keep our identity unknown when in enemy territory.

"So are you done reading yet? The rain's stopped and the suns starting to come up if your are..." Shadow questioned then stated the blood having flowed down from her forehead forcing her to close her right eye. She wiped the blood away and looked expectantly to Naruto who sat the Scroll from Axel down and unsealed the first of the last two items.

A dark gray ANBU style armored vest appeared, only the straps that held it together were all black with two straps over each shoulder, two black straps under each arm, and black around the bottom at his waist. A pair of Shingaurds Like Anko's, that were black with a silver trim and had black leather to hold them onto his leg's. An ANBU style shirt that had a mask like Kakashi's. Leather waist Armor that was black and looked like Zabuza's. And last was a single black glove for his left arm, and bandages... 'Somehow... This reminds me of Vengeance outfit...' Naruto thought to himself as he looked at the clothes. 'Cool...' Vengeance said in his head and Naruto smirked holding the vest up.

"Cool." Shadow said mirroring Vengeance and Naruto raised a brow to the girl. "That's the kind of Armor that changes when you add Chakra to it." She stated and Naruto blinked in surprise.

"I didn't know they made anything like that." Naruto said impressed and Shadow shrugged.

"They place special seals IN the metal or leather, not on it, that allows it to change when Chakra is pumped into it... Not much but sometimes it makes the armor darker so you can blend in with the night or something..." Shadow explained then hissed and placed a hand on her side. "I'd suggest changing quickly unless you want me to be in pain for the rest of the day..."Shadow muttered and Naruto nodded his head then looked around and went behind a rock. A short while later Naruto came out with his old Orange jacket in hand and sighing. He now had the ANBU vest and shirt on, the glove on under his left Gauntlet, Bandages on his right arm, the Shin guards over their intended area. And the waist armor around his hips.

"Too bad, I was kinda getting used to this..." Naruto said to himself and Shadow rolled her eye's.

"Can we please get out of here now? My brother's are probably worried sick by now." Shadow muttered and Naruto nodded but then looked to Axel's scroll and unsealed the mask. "Hey... That's..." Shadow said her eye's wide as she saw it. It was white, with a blue swirl covering ware the mouth would be, the mask would only cover the right eye, the mouth, nose, and lower jaw, leaving the left eye and brow exposed, a blue mark was around the eye hole with a Tear like mark cut under it.

"Nice. So this is a "Tenshi" mask..." Naruto said to himself and Shadow sighed. "Right then, now let's get moving." Naruto stated and placed the mask on his waist. He'd have to ask Axel how they always stuck to what you placed them on later as he then put the three scrolls in his pouch and walked over and picked up Shadow Bridal style.

"I can walk you know..." She deadpanned with a frown and Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Maybe but you'd be far to slow to keep up with me, and we don't have the time for me to slow down so just hang on, shut up, and let me worry about finding my friends now. You're injured and need to relax." He stated and Shadow pouted crossing her arm's over her chest but not making anymore of a fuss about it. "Alright then let's go!" Naruto stated and ran out of the Tree/cave, the rain having finally ended as he searched for a familiar chakra signature...

--

(Meanwhile...)

They couldn't escape, that was the only thought going threw her mind as she and her brother, along with their other teammate all ran from... Well... Her brother said it was a demon but she wasn't so sure. It was BIG, MEAN, DANGEROUS, and absolutely FASINATING! She had seen it first, though her brother didn't know that. She just hadn't alerted them to it's presence when she saw... Well, at first she had thought it was just another Gennin, after all not many creatures had a human shape other than humans... But she had been wrong...

When she had first seen it, it was the second day of the chunin exams, she had been looking for something to do when she heard screaming... She had been curious so went and watched as the thing with the deformed arm chopped another grass nin in half... She had known that team... No one would miss them really... She then watched as the thing had shoved it's sword into the nin's body, before fire and lightning traveled threw its blade and into its body. Then he went and slaughtered his teammates, and did the same thing to them...

"What the hell is that thing!? It just keeps following us?!" Their teammate, a boy whom she absolutely HATED questioned sounding like he was gonna piss himself. The "Creature" was behind them, his eye's set on them, cold fury and burning hate the only emotion visible within them. She would have liked to get a closer look but was stopped when an explosion came from before them. The trio quickly skidded to a stop only to look on in horror, the only path to freedom had just been blocked by a large wall of earth, lightning still spreading along its length.

"Oh shit..." Her brother muttered then turned to see the creature walking towards them. Her foolish teammate had wide eye's and he suddenly yelled running towards the creature and swinging his sword at it. "NO! STOP!" Her brother yelled and yet it was too late, for in an instant the creature had moved its own sword and cleaved him in half...

"YES!" The creature roared and then laughed maniacally to itself. "Blood, Souls! COME UNTO ME!!" The behemoth called as he stabbed his massive blade into the dirt and her teammates blood flowed towards it, lightning of some sort arching up the blade and into the eye centered within it. "HA HA HA HA HA!! I will show you the Ultimate Nightmare!!" It called out raising it's massive Zanbatou like sword into the air as it morphed and changed into an even more sinister form.

The blades serrated edges morphed, becoming longer, also their were less now, three to be precise, as it then grew even longer to six feet even. The eye in the center changed, the pupil was still white and slitted, but the iris was now yellow, and the sclera was purple with blue veins running along it. The bone's from the handle of the blade all grew longer, curving around the eye at the top and forming into the handle. The back of the blade also changed as a bladed edge appeared their also, obviously for when he used a back swing so he could cleave anyone in half. The black leather around the handle was mostly the same, until it reached the base of the sword wear the blue ties there all released its arm, and then formed together into a two foot long "Tail" of sorts that quickly wrapped it's way up his arm once more.

The creature seemed to grin to itself, however due to it's covered face the girl couldn't tell until it started to laugh insanely once more and point it's absolutely MASSIVE sword towards them eyes wide in insanity. "OFFER YOUR SOUL!" The beast snarled and ran towards the two. It lifted it's massive sword into the air, she saw her brother try and move out of the way... She didn't even know what possessed her... But she kicked one of his feet out from under him. His eye's looked at her hurt and betrayal passing through them for only a second before he too was cleaved in half by the massive sword of the monster.

The creature then lifted its blade and like her teammate before, plunged it into the body of her brother... "Blood, Darkness, COME UNTO ME!" He called out loudly and both fire and lightning traveled up the blade and into the creature which let out a monstrous roar before glaring at her with it's demented eyes. "You..." The living nightmare growled then while holding his massive sword in his left hand gripped her around the neck with his deformed arm and lifted her off the ground. He sniffed at her and she looked away from him as he then seemed to narrow his eyes. "I feel it... The power of my own sire... A piece of Soul Edge resides within you!" He growled angrily and the girl shivered, however the being seemed to think, seemingly not noticing as he slowly strangled the girl in his grip.

"I will give you a choice girl... Join me as my slave, or I kill you and reclaim the piece of my sire that lay within your wretched human body..." He growled and she had to bite back a retort about there being no real choice for her in the matter.

"I... I'll serve you..." She choked out and the creature dropped the girl to the ground and seemed more or less disappointed by her reply.

"What is your name, Human..." He questioned with an annoyed tone and the girl actually grinned at him widely, pink eye's flashing.

"Tira master!" She stated happily and the being's eye's widened for a moment before his body shook, then he began to laugh loudly at the irony of what he was just told.

"Ahhh... Tira is it? Well then little one, how long have you been killing mortals?" The being asked humor present in his tone and Tira closed her left eye in thought then started to grin once more... 'She must be bi-polar to go from one emotion to another like that... Hmmm... She will be more useful to me than I thought... With that trait she can kill, maim, and slaughter without showing any sign of it later...' He thought to himself as Tira then flipped to her feet and knelled before her new Master.

"I was trained to be a ninja since I was only four Master. My brother was being groomed to be the next leader of my clan... But I never really liked him that much... Probably why I let you kill him so easily." Tira said happily and her new master chuckled darkly. "Now may I know YOUR name Master?" Tira inquired and the being nodded his head once.

"I am Known as the Innocent Dark side of the Hidden Snow, The Soul bound in Purgatory to those of the Hidden Craftsman, The Azure Swordsman of the Hidden Cloud, The Madness within the Hidden Mist Village...But... I prefer another name... For I am known simply as Nightmare by bandits and small villages throughout the Elemental Countries. And that is what you shall call me child..." Nightmare growled and she pouted for a second then saw a bird and grinned while following it with her eyes... 'Why do I have the sudden urge to just kill her now... Meh... Maybe later...' Nightmare thought to himself then took a good look at the girl.

She had long brown hair tied into two pigtails like Naruto's sexy Jutsu only they stopped just short of her shoulders with gold bands holding them up her bangs falling into her face, a pair of odd pink eyes with a small mole under her right eye, and extremely pale skin with an Lethe build. She had a gold collar around her neck with the symbol for Amegakure on it and feathers flowing out from under it around her neck. A brown leather band was around her chest with a red semi shirt, that attached to her sleeves and pant legs with gold rings which left half her arms, her inner thighs, and her cleavage and midriff bare. A green leather belt hung loosely around her waist, with extremely short brown leather shorts, which could have passed for under ware. She wore a pair of brown leather boots that reached up to just below her knees with a pair of flaps coming down over a green leather band a similar band around her ankle and a green soles. She also had a pair of golden gauntlets on her arms covering the sleeves of her shirt and had claw's made into the fingers.

'I wonder if that outfit is even legal in Ame? I thought that most of them were all about being concealed... My perverted nature is already happy shes my slave...Hmmmm...' Nightmare thought to himself then chuckled silently and looked at Tira as she looked at him happily now rolling on the balls of her feet. "Sooo... What do I do now Master?" She questioned and Nightmare nodded his head slowly before looking at her.

"Why don't you have a weapon with you?" He questioned and Tira pouted and started to seethe her left eye twitching slightly.

"Daddy took my Ring blade away from me last week for killing my baby sitter..." She growled and Nightmare laughed aloud.

"You still need a baby Sitter? How old are you?" Nightmare questioned looking at Tira with Crow taken some more control of his body, after all he and Nightmare WERE born of the same mind, it wouldn't do for them to try and kill one another.

"Fourteen master..." She said simply still sulking and Nightmare would have raised a brow but decided against it... 'Although, I would like to know... How the fucking HELL does a fourteen year old girl from Ame, have a body like THAT...' He inwardly questioned before looking at the dead bodies around him thoughtfully...

"Gather the metal from these corpses... It won't do for my servant to be unarmed." Nightmare ordered to the girl and she shrugged before grinning and lunging at her brothers body removing a scroll from his equipment pouch and taking his kunai and shuriken, then taking the weapons from her teammate. She then dropped them all at Nightmare's feet before unsealing the scroll to show several more weapons...

"My brother was a hopeless paranoid." Tira said with a shrug and smirk on her face after seeing the quizzical look Nightmare was giving her. Nightmare didn't respond to her, he preferred to simply get to work and released Dark Seed, then knelled down and looked at the metal, it was enough but... 'Hmm... I can probably alter the composition of the metal slightly... Maybe add a seal or two to it later... But for now a simple Ring blade is all I'll need to make...' Nightmare thought to himself and then clapped his normal hand to his deformed one and lightning encircled them, before he placed his hands onto the metal and the weapons all started to glow before melting and forming together.

Tira watched this with fascination clear on her face, and soon the pieces of metal had all formed together into her new weapon and she grinned widely to herself. It was silver in color, with the inside dull, the entire outside of the blade sharpened into a blade, it was about four and a half feet in width all around with three points of the ring curving into three short blades. "Ooowww... Is that for me?" She asked with a sparkle in her eye's and Nightmare chuckled and nodded his head to her. "YIPEE!" She shouted and lunged at the Ring blade hugging it like it was a pet or friend.

"Enough of your bi-polarity, I'll dispose of these corpses, then we head out and fix that collar of yours. No servant of mine will bear the mark of ANY village unless I say so..." Nightmare ordered and Tira saluted and grinned spinning her Ring blade around her body and laughing loudly to herself dancing around with the Ring blade... 'Dear sweet Kami-sama... What have I done...' Nightmare questioned to himself then walked over to the body of her brother and clapped his hands together once more...

(With Shinobi...)

He had been looking for Shadow, or even for Naruto's friends when he had first sensed the presence of intense evil that dwelled in the forest. He had no idea what it was but the sheer waves of dark energy pouring off of it had caused even him to halt. The power was CLEARLY demonic in nature but not like any Demon he had ever sensed before... This was FAR too powerful...

"So you sense it two?" Came Camior's voice and Shinobi nodded his head slowly... "I think it was only a D-class a couple day's ago... Now it's almost B-class and getting stronger..." Camior informed and Shinobi nodded his head once more...

"Also, I sense a second presence near to the first brother... It is faint, but similar to the large one..." Shinobi stated looking at Camior out of the corner of one eye as he stood beside him, both realizing they couldn't feel Naruto's friends with such a massive power blocking their attempts... "We'll have to look for a trail of some sort brother, no use trying to sense them with this behemoth in the forest..." Shinobi muttered and Camior nodded his head.

The two brother's then leaped into the tree's, they headed in the same direction they had both been heading and saw the battle field ware Orochimaru attacked the other's and stopped. "Hmmm... If I'm not mistaken, this is one of the places that demon was a few day's ago..." Camior muttered and Shinobi narrowed his eyes.

"Then we best find the trail of Naruto's friends soon... Theirs no telling what so much evil energy will attract to us..." Shinobi stated and Camior nodded, both looking around for any sign of the two gennin on Naruto's team.

"So do you really think J is with those guy's?" Camior suddenly questioned of his little brother who shook his head no and looked to the side.

"Probably not, Seeing as she's right behind us with Naruto..." He stated and the red head landed next to the Silver haired Nin. The two looked at Shadow and skidded to a halt.

"What happened to her?!" Camior demanded running over to his sister and Naruto sighed.

"She was protecting me after I passed out." He stated and Camior nodded.

"Hey... I can still talk..." Shadow muttered glaring at Naruto with one eye and the red-head frowned.

"Brother, I have a Regen pill, give it to her." Shinobi stated and tossed a red pill to his brother who barely caught it before glaring at his brother and walked over to Naruto. He opened Shadows mouth and placed the pill in her mouth, noting that she frowned when he did so, and then she chewed and swallowed the pill. It was a second later that she grinned and then rolled out of Naruto's hands to the ground and started to stretch her weary muscles.

"Ahhh... Much better!" She stated happily while rolling her neck around, relieving it of some tension and Naruto blinked... 'Yep... I really need to get me some of those things...' He thought to himself as Shadow then started to kick the air and punch, then pulled two kunai from her holsters and started to slash around with them.

"Neechan stop that... We have more important matters to deal with than you playing around." Shinobi stated with a frown, arm's crossed and Naruto only just noticed that their was nothing wrong with his face...

"Why the hell did you wear a mask?" Naruto questioned and Camior snickered.

"Cause bro always gets mobbed by girls when they see his face..." Camior then unsheathed his sword and pulled the bandages down from his own face to grin at his reflection... Which mirrored Shinobi's face... "Then again, who can blame them, we certainly are handsome devils..." He stated and Shinobi shook his head from side to side.

"We've already looked for any trace of your friends, the only thing close is that there's signs of a struggle. Also there's foot prints leading due east." Shinobi informed and Naruto nodded his head to the nin. "However, there are much large tracks leading due west, these tracks seem to belong to something... Much bigger..." Shinobi stated looking in the mentioned direction when Shadow started to look around as the air seemed to form cracks.

"Guys, more of the Hell Prides are about to show up." The girl informed and with a shattering sound the Sickle wielding demons jumped from out of midair and lunged at the group of warriors. Shinobi smirked and lunged at the demons swinging Yamato and cutting one in half as Camior jumped up and sliced another in half using Rebellion, Shadow pulled her two Kunai out and grinned while lunging at the demons and Naruto flipped back as a Pride tried to slice him down the middle.

"So these are Hell Prides huh?" Naruto questioned and used the blade on his gauntlets to cut two of the demons in half, five coming from the air to take their place. "They seem weaker than the other Hell Demons I was fighting earlier." Naruto stated and Shinobi hmmmed while moving forward and cutting the demons to pieces at lightning fast speeds.

"Really, what kind were they?" He questioned as he jumped up and kicked a Hell Prides head off. Naruto rolled under a swinging sickle and flipped into a kick knocking another Hell Pride back and then answered.

"Blades, Raiser, and Dancers." He stated and Shinobi smirked.

"Your lucky. Their more fun to kill than these pathetic weaklings." Shinobi stated and Camior rolled his eyes, pulling Ebony and Ivory out and shooting the Prides.

"Your just jealous you didn't get a shot at the Hell Blades." Camior stated and Shinobi frowned while backhanding a Hell Pride that was behind him then jumping above another one and cutting it in half. Shadow rolled under two Hell Prides and flung her Kunai into the back of their skulls, she then moved her hands and the Kunai came back via some chakra strings attached to them...

"Nice Trick Shadow!" Naruto said as he pushed his gauntlets forward, the chains lunging forward, piercing the demons ahead of him.

"Thanks." Shadow said happily and jumped up, she then started spinning and flung the Kunai in hand at the demons, throwing ten of them and pulling them all back with Chakra strings only to throw them again. (Based off of Lucia's Throwing Knives in DMC2. That was the only way I could give Shadow OR Shinobi a long range weapon without giving them Ebony and Ivory...)

"She's really good at that huh..." Naruto said as Shadow killed several demons with a single sweep of the ten Kunai using them all like a whip. Shinobi looked as Shadow did so, then cut the head from a Pride beside of him and shrugged.

"I've seen her do better. She's probably still pretty tired..." He stated and then punched a Pride that was in front of him and Camior shot the last of them. "What... No more?" Shinobi questioned and the sky cracked...

"You had to ask..." Naruto muttered and Shinobi shrugged his shoulders uninterestedly.

Suddenly several Hell Lusts and a much larger demon appeared, a few more Hell Prides scattered around the big one... "Well now, this looks like fun." Camior said reaching back and pulling Rebellion from its holster and crouching down. This new demon was large, with a skull like face that had a blue gem in its right eye and in its mouth, a long tattered cloak with silver embroidery, a gray body with black wrappings here and their, and a LARGE silver sickle...

"A Hell Vanguard..." Shinobi stated uninterestedly and then looked to Naruto. "So, how many can you fight?" He asked and Naruto smirked.

"It might be trouble if one more shows up." He stated and Camior Smirked.

"Then that will be the one I take care of..." The silver haired Devil Hunter stated making Shinobi smirk once more.

"What... Your fighting?" He questioned and the trio all rushed into the fray of Demons. Naruto using the blades on his Gauntlets took on the Prides, Camior rushed forward with Rebellion slicing threw the demonic hordes of Lusts, and Shinobi ran forward, flipping over a sweep from the "Hell Vanguard" and unsheathed Yamato.

"Boys..." Shadow muttered with her arms crossed then crouched. "Always rushing in without me!" She shouted and flung her Kunai forward killing a pride that got away from Naruto. "Save some for me!" She called out loudly to the boy's as Camior brought his sword down cutting a Lust in half and reducing it to sand. Naruto rolled between two prides using his blades to cut them in half then guarded as one attacked from the front. Shadow jumped off his shoulders and killed that Pride, grinning widely and using her Kunai to capture five Prides then fling them into a pair of Nearby lusts.

The Vanguard was the most trouble, Camior had left the few remaining Lusts to Shadow as he went to assist Shinobi with fighting the Vangard. The brothers rolled to opposite sides and then looked at one another with a nod. The creature let out a loud laughing sound and swung its massive sickle towards them. Camior jumped up and started to shoot it with Ebony and Ivory, while Shinobi rolled under it and then moving as quick as lightning cut the demon. He slowly sheathed his sword as the Hell Vanguard fell to pieces and sand.

"Well that was pointless..." Shinobi muttered then looked to Shadow who was finishing the last of the Hell Lusts and Naruto the Prides. "Lets move out, no telling what's happened to your friends with these demons on the loose..." Shinobi stated then jumped into the tree's and Naruto followed, soon followed by Camior and Shadow...

(Else ware...)

Sakura Haruno, was having the absolute worst time EVER. First, after Crow told her and Sasuke to run it seemed like they escaped from the snake freak. But then he came back and fought with Sasuke again. Then the freak BIT Sasuke, and left a weird mark on his neck. The snake man then left saying that Sasuke would seek him out for power... This had left her to seek out shelter, which she had found in a Tree that was open at the root's. Then those Oto-nin had showed up from out of no ware demanding to fight Sasuke. Sakura had tried to stop them but really, her traps were useless.

In the end it seemed that Rock Lee would be her savior, but instead he too was beat by the abilities of the Oto-nin. So she had tried to defend Sasuke herself, which cost her her long hair in the end. She had used all her skill's and abilities to fight the Oto-nin but their were just that much stronger than her. So now she was tired, beaten, and bloody as Zaku was about to end her life, she closed her eyes expecting to die...

"YOUNG LIGHTNING!" Came a shout and a short explosion later Sakura opened her eyes to see none other than Kisara Hatake standing in front of her, flanked by the other members of her team. "Now, you boys were NOT just attacking a girl three on one were you?" Kisara questioned with a frown and Zaku grinned.

"So what if I was, what are a couple of bitches like you gonna do about it?" The spiky haired sound-nin questioned and all three members of team six twitched...

"HE'S SO DEAD!!!" Arissa shouted and formed a few Hand seals before then glaring at Zaku eyes glowing red. "Shadow Realm Justu!" She shouted and Zaku raised a brow, he then went to use his arm cannons to attack but couldn't seem to lift them. He blinked and looked at his arms, only to feel his eyes widen in terror. Ware his arms once were was now nothing but a bloody hole...

"W-what... M-my arms..." Zaku said and then looked around, he started to shake as he saw only darkness all around him. "W-what the hell is this, ware am I!?" Zaku questioned frantically searching for anything but the darkness. He then saw a light and ran towards it only to suddenly be grabbed by chains from behind him and pulled away from the light, fire coming from the Chains to burn the young man as he was slowly dragged deeper into the darkness.

"What the hell have you done to him?!" Dosu asked as Kin looked on in fright as Zaku lay on the ground screaming in pain and fright, shouting about fire and not being able to put it out.

"It's a Genjutsu, but with Arissa that is even more dangerous than any Ninjutsu... She is a Kurama after all..." Kisara said factly and Dosu's eyes widened. "Also, don't bother trying to free him from that, Arissa may not look it, but she was one of the top student in our class..." Kisara added and Arissa punched her in the arm.

"Shut up Kisi, at least I don't use up half my chakra for one stupid attack..." Arissa grumbled and Kisara chuckled and rubbed the back of her neck.

"Guys, focus, we got more important matters to deal with, Arissa's gonna have to focus on keeping sound-wave-boy there occupied with her Genjutsu. So me and Kisara still have to handle those other two nin." Kairi stated and unsheathed her sword. "I'll handle the long haired bitch, you take the mummy Kisara!" Kairi shouted then ran towards the female Oto-nin, Kisara running towards Dosu.

Dosu growled and pulled his sleeve back to show his metal arm mounted weapon, Kisara skidded to a stop and looked at the weapon. 'Hmmm... From what I saw earlier and then in the fight with Lee, this guy doesn't have any real skill beyond using that stupid weapon on his arm. The weapon primarily focuses on using sound waves to bust a persons eardrums to knock them off balance or put them in pain... Either way I have to keep my distance or use an attack that will hit quickly... But I can't risk another "Young Lightning", not yet at least...' Kisara thought to herself as Dosu then lunged forward. 'Okay, I can't block sound waves... Damn I hate this...' She muttered as Dosu punched the ground in front of her sending her flying back.

Kisara flipped in midair, looking to the side to see Kairi was easily dealing with Kin, the girl was obviously not suited to hand-to-hand combat like Kairi was. 'Alright Kisara, looks like you got to use THAT technique...' Kisara thought to herself and then crouched. Dosu simply ran at her once more and Kisara closed her eye's and then opened them, her pupils growing wider to allow her to see more clearly. She then ran forward and ducked under Dosu's arm to sweep him off his feet and kick him in the chin, she then flipped up, grabbing Dosu's head with her ankles and then slamming him into the ground. Dosu quickly got up as did Kisara and the Oto-nin narrowed his eye on her.

"Why didn't my attack work on you?" He questioned and Kisara was silent. "What are you deaf?! Answer me?!" He demanded and Kisara smirked behind her mask and then pulled a Tanto from her back and ran forward towards Dosu, the blade began to glow white as she neared him and Dosu punched at Kisara once more. The girl dodged to the side and then swung her Tanto at the Sound-nin. Dosu cursed and then used his weapon to block. "I see... Your using a meditation technique that blocks out all sound and then enhances the other senses of the body aren't you..." Dosu said and Kisara frowned. "Well then... You probably didn't expect that I have another way of attacking you..." Dosu said and then tapped on his gauntlet making a ringing sound that was conducted by Kisara's Tanto and sent the girl flying back.

"Kisara!" Kairi shouted, kicking Kin in the face and rushing to her Teammate. Dosu intercepted her however and then tapped on his gauntlet once more making Kairi grab her ear's in pain.

"An Inuzuka has enhanced senses. One of those senses is their hearing. Against me, your little more than a meek puppy..." Dosu stated coldly and then kicked Kairi away even as Kairi's ear's bled. "Kin, try and free Zaku from that other brats Genjutsu while I take care of Sasuke..." Dosu stated and Kin nodded her head while rubbing her cheek.

"Back off bitch! No one gets outta my Genjutsu!!" Arissa shouted growling at the girl and Kin formed a "Linked Genjutsu" between herself and Zaku, then broke it from within making Arissa growl. "Bitch..." She muttered and then reached into her equipment pouch and pulled out a couple shuriken before throwing them all towards the Sound-Nin. Dosu rolled his one eye then used his gauntlet to stop the shuriken only to feel the girl attempt to use another Genjutsu.

"KAI!" He shouted and Arissa frowned. "You specialize almost exclusively on Genjutsu. Somewhat like Kin, however unlike Kin, you actually have your uses..." Dosu murmured to himself and Arissa frowned. Dosu then walked towards Arissa who grinned, making Dosu raise a brow only for the world around him to melt. "What is this?!" He demanded and heard Arissa laughing.

"Do you REALY think it's that easy to break one of MY Genjutsu?! I scoff at the thought Mummy man, and I ain't too happy bout you beaten on my friend Kisara either!!" Arissa stated and the world changed into a plane of fire. The ground beneath him was scorched, the sky was consumed by smoke, and any and everything around him was dead or worse. "WELCOME TO MY WORLD BITCH!!" Arissa's voice shouted from the heavens and Dosu's eye twitched. 'She's just as bad as Tayuya...' He thought to himself as then skeleton's came out of the ground with clubs or swords in hand...

"Brilliant..." He muttered and attacked the Skeletons. 'I have to be careful, if I die in a Genjutsu made by a Kurama, I could very well die for real...' Dosu thought to himself as he kicked another skeleton only to be knocked away by one in front of him.

Meanwhile Kin was trying to awaken Zaku who may have been free of the Genjutsu, but it seemed to take it's toll on his mind. "Damn it, Dosu could you..." Kin was about to say only to stop seeing Dosu punching and kicking the air before sighing. "I hate Kurama's..." She muttered then slapped Zaku, he shot up looking around then glared at Arissa who looked like she was having trouble keeping Dosu in her Genjutsu.

"I'LL KILL THE BITCH!" He shouted and pointed his hand's at Arissa, Kisara however had other idea's as she formed three quick hand seals and then held her right wrist. A ball of white lightning formed in her hand and made a static sound before she rushed towards Zaku.

"YOUNG LIGHTNING!!" She shouted plunging her hand into the ground in front of Zaku knocking him to the ground and pushing Kin away. Sakura looked on in awe as Kisara then slowly got back to her feet panting heavily before falling to her knees. "Used... Too... Much... Chakra..." She breathed as the two remaining Sound-nin both got back to their feet.

"She's not bad, their all more skilled than the pinky..." Kin stated and Zaku growled.

"Who the hell cares! Do you have ANY idea what that blond bitch put me threw!?!" Zaku demanded glaring at Kin with insanity in his eyes. "I'll kill all three of 'em!!" He shouted and fired his sound waves at Kisara knocking the girl back into Arissa, and ending the Genjutsu freeing Dosu who was panting.

"What took you so damn long?!" He demanded and glared as the "Kunoichi Three" All gathered back together near Sakura. "Now lets end th..." Before Dosu could finish his sentence a kunai embedded itself at his feet. The three sound nin all looked up into the tree's to see Neji Hyuuga and Tenten both standing in a nearby tree.

"So more vermin come crawling out of the woodwork..." Zaku growled as Neji looked down at the beaten form of Lee.

"Looks like you blew it, huh?" Neji questioned of his teammate while Tenten looked to the green clad ninja worriedly. "The kid with the Moe Howard haircut belongs to us." With that the Byakugan activated and Neji gritted his teeth. "You hurt him, so now you have to answer to us!" He stated just as Naruto, Shinobi, Camior, and Shadow arrived next to Sakura.

"Naruto! Your alright!" Sakura said happily then looked warily to the three Oni-nin.

"Sakura... Kisara..." Naruto said softly looking to her friends then glaring dangerously at Dosu. "Who the hell do you think you are?!" He demanded angrily and red chakra burst from his gauntlets to spiral around his arms. "NO ONE HURTS MY FREINDS!" Naruto shouted crouching down and preparing to attack only for Shinobi to place a hand on his shoulders.

"Ware do these rats keep coming from?!" Zaku demanded and Shinobi looked behind himself at Sasuke...

"Naruto, we may need to move..." He stated and then a massive burst of chakra came from the prone form of Sasuke. They all looked to the source of the feeling and their eyes widened at what they saw. Sasuke was standing, with burning flame like marks flowing over half of his body, sharingan blazing and steam flowing off his form...

"Sakura... Who did this to you?" Sasuke questioned darkly as Naruto's eyes widened seeing his friend looking as he did, Sakura was unable to speak seeing as now Sasuke's Sharingan eyes seemed even more deranged than before... "Who was it..." He growled looking at the three Oto-nin and Zaku grinned.

"Heh, it was me!" He stated and Dosu's eye's widened.

"So...It was you then..." Sasuke growled and gritted his teeth as the burning marks then turned bright red and covered almost all of his body... His power exploding outward and making Shinobi and Camior both look to one another and nod their heads...

"Snap Out of it, Dosu! Just because he refuses to die..." Zaku growled and Dosu's single eye went wider.

"No wait Zaku!" He shouted to late as Zaku used his signature Jutsu to shoot Sound waves towards Sasuke, those nearby lifting the ones who couldn't and taking them to safety as the blast hit. There was a massive explosion and Shinobi looked apathetically towards Zaku, Kairi in his arms and then frowned...

"He just signed his death wish..." He stated as Zaku grinned.

"Heh, blew that pipsqueak to bits." He stated happily only to feel a cold shiver run down his spine when a cold voice spoke from behind him...

"What Pipsqueak?" Sasuke questioned then backhanded Zaku sending him sprawling. Sasuke then formed several hand seals and finished with the Tiger seal. "Katon! Housenka no Jutsu!" Sasuke called several small fireball's towards Zaku.

"You're getting over-confident!" Zaku called out and held his arms towards the fireballs. "I can just blow these out!" He exclaimed shooting more sound waves towards the fireballs only yo reveal several Shuriken within the flames. The Shuriken hit there mark keeping Zaku in place as Sasuke appeared in front of him.

"Zaku! Beneath you!" Dosu shouted but just as quickly as he appeared there Sasuke was behind Zaku holding his arms.

"You seem very proud of these arms..." Sasuke said a sick grin on his face. "Time to bid them farewell..." Sasuke said darkly before pulling Zaku's arms causing the Oto-nin to scream out in pain as the Avenger broke his arms. Sasuke then looked at Dosu and Kin who were both wide eyed as the Uchiha smirked... "One down... Two to go..." He said darkly and walked towards the remaining Oto-nin. "I hope you're more of a challenge than your friend..." Sasuke said darkly and Sakura felt tears in her eyes before getting up and running to Sasuke, hugging him from behind.

"Stop it..." She said pitifully and Sasuke glared at her from the corner of his eye... "Please... Please, stop..." She pleaded with him and the marks on his body all flowed back to their sealed state. Sasuke started to fall and Sakura caught him, Naruto meanwhile was looking to Kisara worriedly but she gave him an eye smile and both looked to the sound nin.

"It obvious that with these numbers theres no way we could win..." Dosu suddenly said then reached into his sleeve and placed a scroll on the ground. "Please accept this as a token of my admiration Sasuke... And as some preparation for your troubles..." Dosu said then looked Sasuke square in the eye. "Allow us to leave in peace is all I ask, after what we've done it may seem a lot to ask... But something big is afoot that merits further investigation and confirmation!" Dosu stated while picking Zaku up and holding him over one shoulder Kin moving to her teamates aide. "I give you my word that if you let us go now... That the next time we face you, we will stay 'till the battle is done, no matter how poorly we fare!" Dosu said and Sasuke simply glared at them, with that the three vanished without a trace before Sakura could ask them about the Curse Mark...

"So then... What now?" Naruto questioned looking at his team and Shinobi walked over to the scroll left by the sound nin...

"You already have this scroll yes?" He questioned and Naruto nodded slowly. "Does your team?" He asked looking at Kisara who shook her head no. Shinobi then tossed it to Kisara and removed its opposite from his vest. "I got this scroll on my way to finding you..." He stated tossing it to Naruto who blinked. "Consider yourself lucky we're allies Naruto, or that would have cost you an arm and a leg..." Shinobi stated and Camior grinned beneath his bandages.

"Aww bro, you're just a big softy at heart!" He stated and Shinobi glared at him... "Never mind... Anyways, I may have gotten another scroll for our team also..." Camior said while pulling out a set of scrolls from his coat and Shadow grinned.

"Then we all get to go!" She said happily and Shinobi nodded before looking towards Neji and Tenten with cold eyes.

"You two... You will collect your friend then leave this place... Should you attempt to attack anyone here... I will kill you..." Shinobi ended coldly and Neji flinched ever so slightly while glaring back at the Oni-nin...

"Alright... Tenten, get Lee, We're leaving..." Neji ordered and the bun haired girl jumped down and picked up Lee before jumping back into the tree and taking off with Neji. Sakura was now looking at Shinobi and shakily asked the silver haired nin...

"Would you have really killed them?" Shinobi turned his ice blue eyes on the pink haired girl and smirked...

"Of course I would... I'm a devil after all..." He stated and then walked in the direction of the tower...

--

(Meanwhile...)

Dosu and Kin reappeared in a clearing far away from the other genin and sat Zaku down. "He's in pretty bad shape, but he'll live..." Dosu said to himself and Kin nodded only for both of them to feel a dark hunger approach them from behind... "What now?!" Dosu questioned only to see the form of Nightmare walk out of the tree's and glare at him. "What is that?!" Dosu questioned only to hear silence and looked towards Kin... She was face down, blood pooling around her as Tira's grinning face appeared above her...

"Ooops... I think she's dead..." Tira said playfully grinning towards Dosu who backed away from the girl and bumped into Nightmare...

"Offer your soul!" Nightmare roared and then quickly cut Dosu in half, lightning arching around his body and exploding within him. "Now for him..." Nightmare growled and simply plunged Dark Seed into Zaku's body, killing him instantly as the demented warrior absorbed the Sound Nins soul... Nightmare then fell to his knee's lightning and fire arching up his body before exploding outward. "More... I need more souls..." Nightmare groaned and then got back to his feet looking to Tira for a second before walking back into the forest in search of more souls to empower him...
