And so they finally meet...after over fifty chapters of kakashi-mangling goodness, the valley of the end...
Kakashi: (fetal position on the floor) The...corn...!
Kyugan: Silence...sacred moment right here. (snaps fingers) have him cleaned up and sent back to Konoha...his mission is over anyways.
Brother; End of childhood.
"Knew you'd catch up…Naruto." Sasuke greeted, before chuckling at the look he received from the Hanyou "What? Something on my face?"
"Sasuke…" Naruto managed, gripping his sword tightly as he eyed the flame tattoo creeping under his friend's eye "What…what the hell happened to you?"
"Not too sure myself," the Uchiha replied, raising a hand in front of him "I feel like my whole body's on fire…but unlike last time it doesn't hurt." He clenched his fist "At the same time…something doesn't seem right."
"Of course it doesn't!" Naruto snapped, waving his arms wide "That's Pedo-hebi's hicky from hell! Who knows what kind of creepy diseases that perv gave you along with it!"
"Not like that dumbass." Sasuke shot back, though he did seemed mildly disturbed "Its as if…there's someone ELSE up here." He tapped the side of his skull "Whispering to me…telling me to seek out more power."
"Creepy voices in your head?" Naruto repeated, snorting "normally I'd tell you to lay off the wow-wow sauce, but then I'm hardly one ta talk."
"No I suppose not." Sasuke noted with a chuckle, shaking his head and looking the blonde in the eye "The thing is though…this thing is RIGHT…if I go to Orochimaru, I can get stronger…just like you three did when you went to Jiraiya."
"Are you even listening to yourself?!" Naruto snapped, eyes growing wide as he stepped forward "Do you even know WHY that freak put that demonic hickey on you?! He wants your body! And forget all the damn 'Uchiha are sex on legs' jokes! I'm serious here-!"
"I know." Sasuke cut in, silencing the blonde in mid-rant "I wasn't awake for the majority, but I caught the tail end of your conversation with that bone guy."
"Then why are you going to him?!" Naruto demanded, looking at the Uchiha in confusion, only to blink as he caught the determination in his eyes.
"Because so long as I can defeat HIM." Sasuke stated, venom dripping in his voice as he spoke "Then I could care less what happens to me."
"What about your clan?!" Naruto snapped, clutching at straws "you told us one of your goals is to revive your clan right?! How can you do that if Pedo-hebi takes you over! He might make you a Eunuch for all we know!"
"I doubt it." Sasuke countered, "Even WITH the sharingan it'd take forever to learn every jutsu in the world," he smirked "At the very least, he'll instigate a mass reproduction project."
Naruto blinked, before shaking his head in exasperation "Only you would refer to a harem as a 'reproduction project.'" He muttered, chuckling despite himself "And color me picky, but I prefer them a little more willing."
"Anko certainly spoiled us didn't she." Sasuke noted with a smirk, the two breaking out in light laughter before eyeing each other calmly.
"Sasuke…" Naruto began, fingering the hilt of his Katana carefully "Do you remember the promise I made with you at the lake?"
"Ah," Sasuke recalled, a small smile crossing his features as he nodded "I knew you'd be the one to come before me…call it…intuition."
"You know I always keep my word." Naruto stated, eyes narrowing as he pushed his blade out with his thumb "I'm bringing you back."
"I'd expect no less…" the Uchiha replied, holding out his hand and beckoning the blonde forward "Lets dance…Uzumaki."
--
No sooner had the words left Sasuke's mouth did Naruto blur into motion, Appearing from above in a battojutsu stance. "Hiten Mitsurugi ryu!" the blonde called out, striking out at the Uchiha's skull with the flat of his blade "Ryutsuisen!"
Sasuke sidestepped nimbly, spinning with his momentum to launch a heel kick and Naruto's face, only for the blonde to block with his sheath. The force of the blow sent the startled Hanyou flying off the stature, cursing as his entire left arm went numb.
'SHIT! Felt like Domon got me with hammer!' Naruto grit out, only to blink as Sasuke appeared before him, punching him in the stomach with the force of a pile driver, sending him crashing into the waterfall, skidding along the surface to the safety provided by Hashirama's statue.
Sasuke used a burst of Chakra in mid-air to propel himself towards the other statue, standing against the side as he admired his fist, only to flinch as his eye returned to normal. 'So that's what those guys were on about…' he noted, frowning in thought 'looks like my body's adapted already…' he frowned 'But so much power so quickly…if I release the seal, will my body be able to handle it?'
He snorted, looking down as Naruto clawed his way to the surface for air 'Using that power gives you an incredible rush, but at the same time if you lose yourself…' he frowned 'If things hadn't changed…'
--
Non-emo Uchiha Flashback no jutsu!
Naruto looked up from his bowl of ramen to find Sasuke standing at the entrance to Ichiraku ramen in his regular clothes, waiting for him to finish stuffing his face.
"Yo," the blonde greeted, looking the Uchiha up and down "See you ditched the full body condom," he noted "what the hell were you thinking wearing that?"
"Urusei…" Sasuke growled, flushing slightly as he glowered at the hanyou "Kakashi thought a change of image would impress the judges."
"Kakashi-sensei goes into withdrawals if you hide his porn." Naruto shot back with a smirk "Trust me, don't ask a guy so emotionally fucked up he can't show up on time for missions on how to look 'cool'."
Sasuke twitched, turning his head to the side as he snorted, refusing to let the blonde see he'd almost, ALMOST, made him laugh, only to blink as he realized a bunshin was leering at him, kitty mouth and all.
"Hoh? You think that's funny do you?" Naruto asked, fox ears forming atop his head as he kitty-grinned "Well then, what do you think he looks like under that mask? Beaver teeth? Fish-lips?"
Sasuke nearly spat as he fought the urge not to laugh, the images spinning behind his eyeballs, half of him wanting to cancel the genjutsu, before recalling no one on his team USED genjutsu.
"Good to see your funny bone still works," Naruto noted, grinning as he put an arm around the Uchiha's trembling shoulders "So, what say we get started on that spar?"
Sasuke didn't even have time to blink before he was pushed face first into a garbage can, rising to his feet with sharingan blazing to see a dozen Naruto's springing away in all directions. "Hn...a fox hunt is it?" he drawled slowly, before smirking "You're on."
Skip.
"You still alive down there?" Naruto asked, tossing an exhausted Uchiha a flask of water, which he barely caught "Take a breather and we'll try again."
"Are you crazy?" Sasuke gasped, lying at the base of the waterfall in his boxers, thuroughly soaked with sweat and spray "Who the hell tries to run UP a waterfall?!"
"WE are…" Naruto reminded him, sitting next to the Uchiha with a grin in his orange boxers "And just so you know I've never managed it either, but it DID boost my reserves and control…stamina too now I think of it."
"As if you weren't hyper enough…" Sasuke muttered, only for his eyes to bulge as he was glomped by two hyperactive clones in female form…wearing nothing but boxers.
"YAY! Sasuke-kun thinks we're hyper!" the bubbling blondes cheered, snuggling up to the Uchiha in a way that would have killed him if he were anyone else.
"DAMMIT NARUTO!" the Uchiha roared, struggling futilely as they writhed over him like demented eels "Don't you have any concept of shame?!"
"You say something?" Naruto asked, lying on his back as one of the Naru-chan clones gave him a back rub "Look at it this way, would you rather it were actual clones of ME writhing on top of you?"
Sasuke looked decidedly green at the suggestion, shooting the clones a murderous glare as he allowed them to massage his back.
Skip.
"I cannot believe you talked me into this." Sasuke growled, a vein bulging on his forehead as he held his arms across his chest, wishing he was anywhere else but here.
"Fairs fair!" Naruto chirped, hands behind his head as he grinned at the seething Uchiha like the prankster he was "You lost the bet, you gotta keep your word!"
"Keh, fine…" Sasuke growled, making a seal and damning himself and his inability to turn down a challenge "OIROKE NO JUTSU!"
A plume of smoke engulfed the teen, and when it cleared a raven-haired beauty with spiky hair that trailed down her back stood in his place, twin sharingan spinning. "Happy now?!" she demanded, only to blink as a camera went off, turning to gape in horror as Naruto held an instant camera in front of his face. "NARUTO!"
Kakashi blinked as he rounded the corner, only to find his blonde student struggling to get out from under a rather voluptuous, decidedly NAKED, female Uchiha, and quickly passed out from blood loss from the ears.
End flashback
--
'…I might have jumped into this and activated the seal without thinking.' Sasuke finished face settling in grim determination as he watched Naruto leap up towards, sword already drawn and reared back to strike. Moving to block, The Uchiha was surprised as something crashed into his side, blinking at it in awe.
'The first strike…with the sheath?' he muttered, flinching as Naruto spun with the strike, delivering a blow to his already abused ribs with the back of his sword, sending him crashing into the Statue's face.
"Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu: Soryusen Ikazuchi." The blonde panted, gripping sheath and sword in his hands as he spoke "That wake you up yet?"
"Yeah…" Sasuke called out, a light chuckle in his voice as he spoke up "mind you…I've been awake for quite a while now."
Naruto blinked, only for Sasuke to sucker punch him off the statue again, the Uchiha looking down at the blonde impassively "My dreams aren't in the future Naruto…" he muttered, even as he watched his rival fall "they're firmly locked…in the past."
--
Naruto rose to the surface again, crouching on the water and shaking himself, glaring up at Sasuke as Neji's words rang through his head. 'Just like you said Neji,' he muttered solemnly 'He's stuck in the darkness, or at least his head is.'
'Then we need to drag him out of it.' Kyuubi muttered, growling darkly in a manner that startled his son 'That statue…WHERE have I seen that man before?'
'Otou-san?' the Hanyou muttered, only to blink and look up at Sasuke, who was holding one of his ribs tenderly. "Not a bad shot." He called out "Your playing for real."
"Not bad yourself," Sasuke shot back with a smirk "And yeah…this is for real…so come at me like you did at the exams…" his sharingan activated "I'll be playing for keeps as well."
"Doesn't have to go down like this…" Naruto called out, "think back Sasuke…everything we accomplished…everything you have waiting for you back home…all of that means nothing?"
Sasuke was silent a moment, before closing his eyes and sighing "If there is but one thing I truly value from living in Konoha," he admitted "more than the fame, the glory or the teachings…" He opened his eyes, sharingan gazing down into red tinged blue "It is the fact that I managed to meet…the only person I consider a friend there."
Naruto was silent, eyeing the Uchiha in confusion as he trailed off, noting the uncomfortable feeling that shocked through his spine "Friend?" he repeated, eyeing the Uchiha warily "You'd fight a friend to the death? Man you Uchiha are fucked up."
"Perhaps…" Sasuke allotted, smiling wryly "But in our own way, friends have been a source of strength for the Uchiha." He smirked "After all, in the short time I spent sparring with you, I learned more than I ever did with Kakashi."
"That's not saying much," Naruto muttered, waving a hand dismissively "Kaka-sensei's an able jounin, but he can't teach worth beans."
"True," Sasuke allotted, cracking his hand joints "Still, his teachings have served me well…"
Naruto, recognizing the signal, held his palm out to his side and allowed the chakra to go crazy, even as lighting crackled in Sasuke's hand. "Come to think of it…" the Uchiha noted, "We never did see which of our jutsu was stronger." He gripped his wrist "Care for a little road test?"
"Bring it." Naruto replied, gripping a clone's wrist as it swung him around to build up momentum. Sasuke leapt from the statue, even as Naruto allowed himself to be launched by the clone into the air, the two rearing their arms back as they drew closer.
"CHIDORI!"
"RASENGAN!"
--
As the two techniques collided in mid-air a brief moment passed where everything seemed to go silent. When it passed everything went crazy, a massive crater forming in the water below the teens as loose rocks from the statues fell and shattered under the force of the raging chakra.
Sasuke And Naruto refused to look away, their eyes locked onto each other, Sharingan gazing into demonic red as each pushed ever more chakra into their arms, their free hands snapping out to grip each other's wrists, even as their battling techniques drew ever closer, so close their fingertips were almost touching, the scent of roasting flesh filling the air.
Both teens kicked out at the other's chest, separating abruptly as a sonic boom rocked the area, Sasuke skidding towards the waterfall, whilst Naruto crashed headlong into the river, the Uchiha regaining his bearings first as he caught his breath.
'Not bad…' he noted eyeing the spot where Naruto had fallen 'and I was going full force with that Chidori too…that's one hell of a jutsu he has up his sleeve.' He smirked 'Pure chakra…no elemental affinity…that's the only reason Chidori can stand against it, the cutting edge cancels out his raw power…and vice versa.'
He smirked as Naruto floated to the surface, watching as the blonde slowly got to his feet, even as the seal markings began to cover his face "You know…Naruto…" he called out "When Kakashi taught me Chidori, he told me my limit was two a day." He smirked "But after training with you, my limits gone up to at least three…four if I push myself." He regarded the teen solemnly "You'd make a good sensei."
"Quit flattering me ass-hat and get serious." Naruto called out, eyes red as he smirked at the teen "Looks like the hickey's acting up, I got a cream that does wonders on sores, care to try it?"
"Pass," Sasuke replied with a smirk, as the flame markings covered his face "You know Naruto, Sharingan aside, when two shinobi of equal levels clash, its said they can read each other's thoughts through nothing more than the exchange of blows." He eyed the blonde "You are the only person I deem a friend." He reminded the blonde, as he began his seals "So can you read MY mind? NAURTO?!"
"Housenka with concealed shuriken." Naruto called out, freezing the Uchiha in place, "I may not be able to read your mind, but I know you well enough to recognize one of your trademarks."
"That so?" Sasuke asked, striking out to the side and blocking a blow to his head with a wry smirk "Distracting the opponent with Kage bunshin while you go for the kill…" he countered, the two grinning at each other "I know your tricks as well."
He spun, kicking the blonde in the cheek and sending him spiraling into the water, already beginning the seals for Chidori as he ran. Naruto cursed as he fought to regain his footing, holding out a hand to form the rasengan, only for Sasuke's foot to slam it against the wall, breaking the bone and earning a snarl from the Hanyou. He struck out with his other hand, only for it to be stabbed with a kunai, digging into the canyon wall and holding him upright.
"Too slow Naruto." Sasuke noted, a wry smirk on his face as he held the blonde's arm down with his foot, a fully charged Chidori chirping in his hand "My Sharingan is an unfair advantage I'll admit…but I'm not putting anything to chance with that speed of yours again."
"Noticed huh?" Naruto grunted, smirking wryly as he looked into his rivals eyes, crimson locking onto crimson.
"You were feinting," Sasuke noted "Trying to simultaneously conjure a rasengan whilst reaching for your Katana…" he smirked approvingly "A formidable Combo…IF it had worked."
He lunged forwards, lightning chakra gathered in his palm as he aimed directly at Naruto's chest.
--
"You did WHAT?!" Kakashi stammered, looking like all the ghosts of his former opponents had come to get him, a daunting thought considering precicsely how many people he'd killed "You sent a team of GENNIN after Sasuke and Orochimaru's men?!"
"I had no choice." Tsunade reminded him crisply, looking into his eyes with an authoritative glare "You KNOW what the situation is like at the moment, it was all I could do to give them a decent chance at success."
Kakashi slumped, sighing at the sheer stubbornness of his most bothersome charge, before righting himself, the usual lazy glint in his eye replaced with grim determination as he turned his back on the Hokage. "Relax." He called out, waving a hand as she called him back for his next mission "I'll be back in time for it…I'm just stretching my legs a bit first."
--
"Man, that was one long ass mission." Recca muttered, looking annoyed as he walked towards the gate to Konoha "Seriously, are we sure that guy's gonna be alright? He never struck me as the dependable type."
"Says the guy that stepped in crap twice in the same day." Domon mocked, earning a boot to the chin from his rival "HEY! That better not of been the crap foot!"
"I'll give ya crap foot Franken-dick!" Recca snarled, the two pummeling each other whilst Fuko looked on in exasperation. They had just gotten back from a mission to Takigakure, where the not-so-impressive leader had recruited them to ensure his safe return, ending up being dragged into an attempted revolt.
"I still can't believe they were fighting over a bottle of water." Fuko opined, arms behind her head as she forwned "I mean sure it boosted your chakra, but to shorten your life as a result? Count me out."
"What's so heroic about relying on a damn stimulant?" Recca agreed, grinding his foot into Domon's face, earning a plethora of curses from the giant "Hero water my balls."
"Kuchiyose no jutsu!"
The trio blinked, looking up to find a pack of dogs directly in front of the gates, Kakashi apparently giving them orders before they split up, vanishing into the trees like the shinobi hounds they were. "Yo! Kaka-sensei!" Recca called out, alerting the distracted jounin to their presence "What's up?"
"Recca? Domon? You're back?" Kakashi noted, sounding relieved at the sight of half of his team "Come with me! Sasuke's been taken by Orochimaru's team!"
"WHAT?!" the two rivals bellowed, Fuko looking between them in confusion as they gaped at the jounin in disbeleif "Where's Naruto?!"
"Already on their tail with several other Genin." Kakashi replied, nodding towards the confused Fuko "I'll take these two and go on, you report the success of your mission to Godaime-sama immediately, no excuses!"
Fuko, who knew better than to argue, shot her teammates a look before nodding "Fine, but the minute I'm done I'm coming after you guys." She promised, leaping into the village towards the tower.
"How long ago have they been gone?" Recca asked, falling into step behind his sensei as they set off, leaping in the direction of a howl from one of the Ninken.
"Several hours now," Kakashi revealed "Shikamaru's team still hasn't reported back yet, but we received some assistance from Suna so at the very least there should be survivors."
"Naruto'll make it." Recca stated confidently, looking forwards as they leapt through the trees "He won't die no matter what!"
--
"Tenacious bastard aren't you?" Sasuke noted with a smirk, blood dripping from his lips as he pressed against Naruto's sandaled foot, the kunai attached to it with chakra having stabbed him in the stomach "You made me miss your heart."
"Cut the bull." Naruto shot back, wincing from the pain in his right shoulder and lung as Sasuke pulled out his arm "You weren't aiming for it in the first place."
'Not entirely untrue…' Sasuke allotted to himself 'At the last moment I hesitated…I'm still nowhere near ready for Itachi.' He winced as Naruto gripped his wrist, red chakra seeping off the blonde as he forced the Uchiha to back off, ripping his hand out of Naruto's shoulder. 'Damn…nearly snapped my wrist off!' Sasuke muttered, flipping back warily and gripping the tender limb tightly 'And I only got it back a few months ago too…'
"Pretty damned determined aren't you?" He called out, smirking as Naruto crouched, arms crossed before him and eyes blazing red "Tenacious bastard."
"I told you…" Naruto called back, leering at the Uchiha from behind his arms "I'm bringing you back…even if I gotta rip your limbs off."
"Really?" Sasuke asked, only to blink as the blonde vanished, a fist crashing into his stomach like an anti-tank round, sending him skidding along the water holding his gut.
'FAST!' the Uchiha realized, flipping through seals as he fought to gather air into his abused lungs, glaring up at the figure descending from above "KATON: GOUKAKYUU NO JUTSU!"
Naruto snarled defiance, letting out a roar laced with chakra as he fell, the fireball dissipating as it collided with the air, Sasuke grimacing as he was buffeted by it, right up until he sensed something in the water. 'Aw SHIT!' the Uchiha swore, blocking as best he could as what seemed like an invisible swarm of piranha dug into him from all sides, swimming to the surface desperately using chakra, only for something to leap up ahead of him, grabbing his head and hurling him at the cliff-face.
--
'Naruto…' Kyuubi called out warningly 'You're pushing him rather hard if you want him back alive.' He frowned as his son refused to answer 'Naruto…are you listening to me?'
The Taiyoukai and lord of the bijuu felt a shiver run over his form as he felt the subtle changes in his son's scent, the decrease in human chakra as the demonic began to overflow. 'No!' he swore, rattling the bars of his cage desperately 'Naruto! Calm down! You've gone too far!'
But the kit could no longer hear the calls of its sire.
--
"Ow…" Sasuke muttered, pulling himself out of the indent in the wall "Dammit…I'll be feeling that one tomorrow-!" He blinked as something leapt on him, driving him deeper into the wall, narrowly avoiding a set of fangs as they descended upon his neck, kicking out and sending the assailant flying. "What the-?" he demanded, only to freeze as he got a good look at him "Naruto?"
The youth was almost entirely enveloped by a blood-red aura of chakra, his teeth bared as he glared up at the Uchiha like an animal. There was no sign of the blonde's intelligence in those eyes, only raw, animal fury.
"I see…so your power comes with a cost as well." The Uchiha noted, rising to his feet and standing on the wall, reaching into his pocket for his headband "You and I really are two of a kind aren't we…ever since we were kids." He smirked "Didn't think I'd remember did you? The times we'd check on each other at the lake." He frowned as he regarded the beast-like figure "But then I suppose you can't hear me now, can you?"
Fastening his Hitai-ate to his forehead, the Avenger opened his eyes to reveal his fully developed sharingan "Fine then…" he called out "If our bond is what drives us to this…then I'll sever that bond and save us both." He eyed the figure with an almost pitying expression, before gesturing for it to approach "Come…Naruto." He ordered, "I'll end it…this cycle of pain."
--
'Naruto' lunged at the Uchiha, leaving behind a pattern of images in his wake as the sharingan predicted every move before it even occurred. He slipped and ducked under each swipe, each blow, and every subtle grapple that was thrown at him.
'Apparently this power is more of a hindrance.' Sasuke noted grimly 'Sure he's faster and more powerful…but his intelligence has dropped accordingly," he dodged a swipe at his chest, leaning back to throw the opponent as he narrowly avoided a bite to the jugular 'it's like I'm fighting a caveman…or a wild animal.'
Rolling to his feet he nodded, bending and turning to avoid the clumsy strikes of his opponent 'I can read his moves, which leaves me plenty of time to avoid his attacks.' He tilted his arm back upon dodging a swipe and aimed at an approaching image 'And if I can predict his position…' Naruto's face collided with the fist the second it filled the spot the image had been 'I can land blows before him!'
--
"Something's going on up ahead." Pakkun noted, face grim as his nose twitched "I smell a dangerous chakra there…but at the same time, a familiar one."
"Sasuke?" Kakashi asked, only to frown as Pakkun shook his head, looking at the nin-dog with concern "Who then? Not Orochimaru?!"
"I don't know…" Pakkun admitted solemnly "It smells familiar…but at the same time not human." He frowned "If anything, it reminds me of fox musk."
The three humans shivered slightly, before picking up the pace, almost leaving Pakkun behind. Something bad was going on up ahead, and from the sound of it Naruto was in the thick of things as usual.
--
'Why won't he stay down?' Sasuke growled, kicking 'Naruto' in the chin and sending him off the mountain top 'I've hit every single trauma point on his body…don't tell me he can't feel them!?'
'Naruto' swiped at Sasuke, the Uchiha weaving out of the way, only for his eyes to widen as a hand composed entirely of red chakra extended to slash at him, the hairs on his body standing up in terror from the feel of it.
'That chakra…is it alive?' Sasuke wondered, staring at his opponent in alarm, 'My sharingan should enable me to see the flow of chakra…but I can't predict where this red chakra will come from AND take on Naruto up close.' He frowned, flipping through some seals rapidly 'If close range is out…then let's turn up the heat!'
"Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu!"
The fireball launched itself towards 'Naruto', even as the snarling beast charged it, in the world's most one-sided game of chicken. Sasuke grimaced as they collided, the explosion kicking up a mass of steam, only to frown as he detected the telltale glow of the crimson chakra through the mist.
'No doubt about it…that chakra's protecting him.' Sasuke noted grimly, taking a few cautionary steps back to assess the situation 'But if I hold my distance-!'
He trailed off as the crimson chakra hand launched itself at him like a serpent, barely managing to leap out of the way, only to curse as 'Naruto' descended from above to swat him onto the shore. The Uchiha coughed as he pulled himself out of the rubble, wincing as the cursed seal continued to spread, covering half his face with flame like markings in an attempt to bolster his body's defenses and strength.
'At this level…all I can do is dodge.' He noted grimly, eyeing the crouching form of his opponent with trepidation, 'This seal's getting harder and harder to reign in too…a survival mechanism perhaps?' He grimaced before snorting self mockingly, shaking his head and hiding his face with his bangs.
"Nothing else for it then…" the Uchiha allotted, the marking glowing as they proceeded to encompass his entire being "We really are something else aren't we?" he asked rhetorically "We've left the Normal world far behind us."
Sasuke stood up, Sharingan set in an ocean of black, his face a grey-brown that contrasted with the stormy gray mane that extended down his back. "We've left the world of normal humans…" he continued, voice echoing slightly as he locked gazes with his feral opponent "we're both monsters now."
Before he could say another word, the feral form that was once Uzumaki Naruto lunged at him, chakra talon reared back for a savage swipe that plowed through the valley floor and the foot of the Shodai's statue.

Kyugan: You and who's army bitch?
Light: Misa?
Misa: (Comes out of the shadows, looking right at Kyugan, before turning to Light) His real name is-!
BRAKOOMBRAKOOM!
Light: (Stares in shock at Misa's body, now minus a head, before gaping at the stump on his arm that used to be his left hand and the death note) GYAAAAARRRRGGGH
Kyugan: (Blows out the smoke from his custom 8" Colt Anaconda, watching Light writhe on the ground impassively) Newsflash bitch, the hand is quicker than the eye (Levels the gun at Light's head) and the Bullet is faster than the Pen.

Ryuk: Moral of the story, do NOT threaten Authors...and never speak to Kyugan about Death Note.
Kyugan: A good series, I'll admit, but not a favourite by a long shot.

OMAKE!!
(Warning, may contain hints of Yaoi for humorous purposes)
"Ow…" Sasuke muttered, pulling himself out of the indent in the wall "Dammit…I'll be feeling that one tomorrow-!" He blinked as something leapt on him, driving him deeper into the wall "What the-?" he demanded, only to freeze as whatever it was started rubbing against him "THE HELL?!"
He kicked out, sending the assailant flying, gaping in shock as it revealed itself to be Naruto, but not as the Uchiha remembered him. The youth was almost entirely enveloped by a blood-red aura of chakra, his teeth bared as he glared up at the Uchiha like an animal.
There was no sign of the blonde's intelligence in those eyes...which made the fact they currently resembled the eyes of a certain female snake charmer all the more disconcerting.
"What the hell?" Sasuke wondered, only to yelp as the beast tackled him again, rolling across the canyon floor in a jumble of limbs, only to grunt as his he came to a halt, on his back, his arms pinned.
'This is NOT good.' the Uchiha deduced, gazing up into the red eyes in alarm, even as the beast lowered it's face towards his, sniffing carefully, before lunging forwarss, fangs glinting in the sunlight.
Kakashi lunged out of the forest, his students bringing up the rear as he gazed around for the remainder of his team, only to blink as he espied a bundle of clothes on the valley floor.
"Aren't those Sasuke's boxers?" Recca wondered, blinking as he held up the rumpled blue shorts covered with miniature Uchiha fans "Odd time to be skinny dipping you think?"
Pakkun sniffed, before blinking, eyeing the rustling bushes in alarm "Kakashi! In there!"
The copy-nin leapt in the direction indicated, fearing the worst as he pushed the branches aside, only to gape in horrified alarm at the sight before him.
"BUGGEROFF...!" a dark voice growled out, the Copy-nin retreating from the bushes with his back straight, his hair slowly turning completely white from the shock.
"Sensei?" Recca asked, turning to face the jounin, only for Kakashi to shake his head and signal for them to back away VERY slowly.
Master of a 1000 stolen jutsu he may be, but there was NO way in hell Kakashi was getting involved in THAT without Gamabunta, an army of sennin, and all the remaining bijuu backing him up.
On the plus side, it seemed Sasuke would be coming back with them after all.

R&R!
