Naruto: …Do I have to do this?

Kisame: (walks in) If I have to, you do.

Kurumi: It'll be okay master. I'm here with you desu!

Naruto: That makes me feel a little better then before.

Kurumi: (hugs Naruto) That's what I'm for desu!

Kisame: This love stuff is making me sick. Let's introduce the next chapter already.

Naruto: Alright, here is the next chapter, Kyuubi's Unmatched Power!

His blood was as cold as ice. He knew he did not stand a chance against the two that had just revealed themselves in his fortress. How did they find him so easily? He had been hiding from them, continuously moving from base to base to keep them from catching him but they still found him and had leveled half his village.

Regaining his composure, the pale skinned man looked over at his two adversaries with his golden eyes scanning for any possible escape route. He knew there wasn't much of a chance to do so but if one became available, he would take it. Looking over towards the one wearing a cloak, his spoke in his raspy tone. "It has been a while, hasn't it leader. Or shall I say puppet as we know the masked one has all the power."

The cloaked one narrowed his eyes as the one in the mask only chuckled as his one eye looked over him. "Touché. I normally wouldn't interfere like this but one of your groups little creations is coming back to haunt us."

His face dropped knowing what the masked one was talking about. He had hoped that the pervert's creation would have been enough to stop it, but it seemed it wasn't enough. Seeing a few of his minions beginning to surround the two, he was ready to leave them to their fates and flee when the cloaked one spread his hands towards them.

The next moment everything around him was blown away including the ground. He cursed knowing the powers of the cloaked one and knew he couldn't escape as the masked one was suddenly behind him. Cold sweat covered his body, unsure of what he could do but he knew something was up as he was still alive. "What do you want with me? If you had only wanted my ring, I would be dead by now. There is something you want that only I can do for you."

The cloaked one smirked as he outstretched an arm towards the pale skinned man before he was viciously dragged to him by seemingly nothing. As soon as he was inches from him another, taller man with no hair and a cloak appeared behind the pulled and gripped him in a master lock. Knowing that he wouldn't escape, the one with the cloak spoke in a stoic tone. "You will finish the work of the late Dr. Ayanakouji as we are incapable of truly understanding how to create or activating the dual-heart angel."

He felt weird as the man behind him firmly held him in the lock. He quickly deduced that his chakra was being drained away making sure that there would be no escape for him. Seeing that he saw four others with cloaks and the same eyes as the one in front of him, he looked at the man before snarling. "It looks like I have no choice in the matter."

Another chuckle escaped from the mask one as he nodded in agreement with his statement. "True." His one eye focused on the cloaked one before he looked off into the distance. "Knock him out and take him to the base. I'll deal with the rest here."

The cloaked one nodded before knocking the pale skinned man out with a single punch to the middle of the torso before the larger one tossed him over his shoulders and began heading off. As he was about to follow, the masked one spoke once more. "And prepare yourself. I doubt the two we sent for the nine tails will succeed… I'm afraid they will not have enough time to capture both of them."

Naruto felt very, very uncomfortable as he looked into the red eyes of Uchiha Itachi. He knew it wasn't the smartest thing to do as he heard that was how he had defeated Kakashi, but he couldn't help it as it felt like some unknown entity was forcing him to look into his eyes. He tried to force himself to look away, but no matter what he did he could not. He couldn't even blink to stop looking him in the eyes for just a moment

Becoming frustrated with this, he was ready to try and run as he knew nothing he could do would be enough against these two S-rank missing ninjas. To his luck, Kurumi was the one that broke the eye contact as Itachi looked over towards her as she brought attention to herself. "I don't think so desu! My master isn't going anywhere with you as he's on a date with me, got it!"

"Interesting," Itachi muttered to himself as he looked Kurumi in the eyes with a seemingly riveted look in his eyes, "I didn't believe the plant until now but she is definitely the angel we are looking for."

Kisame was getting bored as he really didn't care about the pink haired girl that much. All he knew was that they had to capture her as well as she held the other piece of Kyuubi within her. Outside of that, he could do whatever he wanted to do with them and that was very, very enticing to him. "Itachi, can we just hack off the brat's limbs and drag the girl with us? I want this over as fast as possible as pinky here is pretty hot…"

Itachi frowned at what his partner said and was ready to outright murder him for even thinking like that about the Steel Angel, however the first part of what he said he completely agreed with. "Go ahead and maim them, but you will not carry out your sick fantasies afterwards otherwise I'll kill you myself."

Getting that his partner was in a no joking matter, Kisame nodded, a little frightened as he knew Itachi could kill him, before he grinned happily as he lifted his giant sword off his back. "Well, at least I got one thing I wanted. Come here brat!"

Naruto barely managed to jump out of the crushing blow of Samehada. What was worse that the fish man was far quicker then he had ever believed as he wrenched the sword out of the ground with no problem and slammed the tip of the sword into his stomach. If it wasn't for the quick actions of Kurumi grabbing him and pulling him out of the way the sword would have pierced through his intestines.

Kurumi was in a panic seeing the wound her master had received with just one blow. She had no clue how to help him as she looked over him. She was beginning to wish she never had brought them here. If she hadn't been acting so strange, she would have never brought them here and her master would be fine. Tears welled up in her eyes as this was all her fault before she caught the one that caused the injury to her master. "You… You've hurt my master…"

Power seemingly began to explode from her body as she stood up and clinched her fists. The shine in her eye disappeared as she looked at Kisame with burning rage as her eyes instantly became crimson. Lifting her right arm, red chakra began to form in an orb like shape before multiple blast of chakra erupted from it and towards the shark like man.

Kisame instinctively used Samehada to shield himself from the blast and it succeed to an extent. He quickly realized that it wasn't just chakra but angelic energy being mixed with it and his sword could not absorb the latter part. So it was literally being chipped away at as pieces of his sword were flying off with each contact with the energy blasts.

In a blink of an eye, Itachi appeared besides Kurumi with his arm outstretched towards her. Before the angel could react, he flicked her away with a simple movement of his wrist. Looking over at his partner, he closed his eyes before turning to Kurumi. "You continue to under estimate your opponents. That will be your end one day if you do not learn. Now finish off the boy and I'll deal with her."

Grunting as he knew better then to talk back to the Uchiha, Kisame pulled back his sword as he looked over at Naruto to see he was up again and this time had ten clones to help him. Smirking as he felt a little pissed that he got told off by someone half his age and couldn't do anything about it; he was going to take it out on their blonde haired target.

Naruto was really hoping someone had followed them as he watched all ten clones be destroyed in one swing. He knew there wasn't a chance to win this battle and the best he could do was stall until someone arrived. Creating more clones, he rushed in with them and once again they were all destroyed within a single swing.

Then he felt it. He felt the most agonizing pain as the giant sword slammed against the lower right leg and snapped his fibula like a twig before it was yanked back and ripped flesh and muscle from his leg revealing the snapped bone. He screamed as he crumbled to the ground and grabbed his leg as a tremendous amount pain surged through him.

Kisame only laughed as he walked over to the screaming boy. It was amusing to see him like this and not the loud mouth brat like he was last time. As he neared him, he was getting ready to severe the rest of the leg when he heard a whispered jutsu so powerful that he cringed at the sound of it.

Itachi easily evaded the blasts from Kurumi as she continued firing them towards him at random. Her aim was pitiful at best, but it really didn't matter as the power within each one could rip through him if they hit. Plus she was occasionally on target and forced him to move and with her sporadic aim, he had to weave around five or six other blasts. Getting fed up with this as it seemed she wasn't going to try and prove her strength, he scattered into dozens of ravens before each and every single one appeared behind her reforming into him.

She spun around and attempt to knock him back but the Uchiha was too quick as he ducked under her arm before he gripped her throat tightly and slammed her into a tree creating a small crater from the impact.

Seeing that Kisame had already taken care of Naruto, Itachi knew it was time to finish her as well and he knew exactly how to do it as his three tomoe slowly merged into one creating a tri bladed shuriken surrounding his now red iris. Taking a deep breath, he whispered lightly to himself before he looked her in the eyes. "Forgive me for this forth… Tsukiyomi."

Kurumi suddenly found herself back to normal as the dark power the resided in her faded. But she knew something was wrong as she could not see her master anywhere and everything seemed to be red, black and white. Then she remembered what was happening and she saw the man she was just fighting in front of her without his cloak on. Not caring for him, she attempted to move as she could not see Naruto anywhere. "Master… Master! Where are you master?!"

"He's right here." Itachi spoke as a cross began to rise from the ground behind Itachi.

Kurumi's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets as she saw her master tied firmly against the cross with his eyes barely open. "Master! Put him down!"

As she began to try and move again, Itachi only shook his head as he looked over at her. "There is no use. You will not be able to move from that spot for the next seventy-two hours. …You will have to sit there and watch as I cut every single inch of flesh and break every bone in his body for every second of it. …I hope you break before the time is up as I will not enjoy this."

Without a second warning, he pulled out a spike and drove it into Naruto's hand before pulling out a hammer. "Let the crucifixion of your master begin."

Kisame watched as Kurumi screamed at the top of her lungs, wondering what the young man was doing to her. He had to admit if there was anyone that was crueler then him, it was his partner as the things he could do with that jutsu of his were horrific compared to anything he himself knew. Even if it only lasted a few seconds, it was more then enough time to do whatever he was doing to her as he let go her and she crumpled to the ground like a doll.

Naruto looked on in dread as Kurumi's body fell to the ground as if she was dead. Everything seemed to slow down for him as her body hit the floor and every moment that he spent with her in the last week began flashing by his eyes. Fear gripped him as he thought of losing her for good. Even if he hadn't known her that long, it seemed that he knew her all his life as she was like him in many ways. She was… precious to him and losing her would hurt more then losing the old man even if he had known him for longer.

Just then, the fear that gripped his body slowly began to turn to raw hatred as his eyes burned a dark crimson. He growled loudly before red chakra erupted around him with such raw force that it blew Kisame back and knocked Samehada away from him.

Itachi turned around in a hurry to see an orb of red chakra surrounding Naruto and was on his guard knowing the danger level had risen considerably. As the chakra sphere began to fade, he was almost forced to look away as the raw amount of chakra surrounding Naruto's body was staggering. But he didn't and he saw Uzumaki stand once more, completely covered in red chakra and was no longer visible as four tails wildly swung behind him.

He frowned as this was not a turn of events he expected and was ready to intervene when he noticed the chakra was pulsing towards him. 'No, it's not pulsing towards me. …Oh no!'

Turning back around, he looked at Kurumi as the chakra pulses reached her and seemingly began to energize her once more. Her hair began to darken and became a light lavender and was continually getting darker as she stood up. But what caught his attention was the black waves emerging from her back forming what seemed to be wings. His face dropped as that was what indeed it was forming as two black, feather-like wings emerged from her back. This time he had to look away as the raw amount of power was far too astounding.

Looking back towards her as he could handle it, he looked into her dark red eyes and saw the darkness within them glowing as her vision was completely focused onto him. Taking a deep breath, he prepared himself as he knew this would be difficult as Naruto let out a vicious roar.

"GGGGRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

Kisame: Wow. I actually thought things were going to be bad for us in this chapter. I mean the ending kind of sucked for both Itachi and myself, but overall it was pretty accurate.

Naruto: The author hates me. He has my ass kicked constantly, he sticks me with a manic pink haired maid and a too polite, obedient brown haired maid and finally, he keeps making me do these damn intros and endings!

Kisame: …I have to agree. What did you do to piss him off?

Naruto: NOTHING!

Kurumi: Master, I'll beat the author up for you if you like.

Zagger: Stick to the lines people otherwise I'll make all of you young boys and put you in the same room with Orochi Jackson!

Kisame: (straight face) Jiraiya finally arrives and his full power is unleashed onto me and Itachi. But can he tame the rising power of the Kyuubi enhanced Naruto and Kurumi! Find out next time on Steel Angels and a Blonde, Sage Form Unleashed! …Oh come on! I can take that old white haired bitch!

Naruto: (sees Jiraiya walk into the room) You want to say that to his face, fishy.

Kisame: (hurried voice) The author would also like you readers to know that reviews are well appreciated and any questions will be answered quickly if not answered with the following chapters. Now I have to leave… (runs off in a panic)

Jiraiya: Get back here!
