Kurumi: A new chapter is here desu!

Naruto: Wait, why are we doing the time skip?

Jiraiya: Because some important things are going to happen.

Naruto: Ah dammit! I thought I was going to get some time off.

???: Afraid not. Now come with me as those stupid dick fucks want me to bring you in.

Saki: Stay away from my master blonde!

???: Watch your mouth bitch! Now prepare for the next chapter, Akatsuki's Second Angel.

Half a year had passed and Naruto found himself alone in a forest clearing. He was slightly irritated at the old pervert, but for once, he wasn't too angry with him.

As soon as they neared the Land of Fire and Lighting border, Jiraiya stated that he and the Yondaime had set a lab out here for the development of the Steel Angels and then asked to take both Kurumi and Saki there so he could check if anything was wrong, if he could attempt to make improvements and fix what mistakes the snake had made.

At first Naruto was hesitant to let them go as he would have to stay out and train so that Jiraiya could do what he needed without interruption. That made him even wearier but when Kurumi and Saki promised to beat the living hell out of him if he tried anything, he conceded as he knew the two angels could do it and Jiraiya would just allow it to happen for some unknown reason.

On the bright side, the white haired sage left some instructions on how to improve the Rasengan with elements. Of course he just learned that he had a wind affinity so he had no clue how to manipulate the wind to combine with his most dangerous technique.

"Alright, now how in the hell does this work." Naruto talked to himself as he scratched his head after forming another Rasengan with his other hand.

Over the last six months they had been away, Naruto had been learning how to use wind based jutsu but had not really gotten the hang of them. On the other hand, he had picked up a few decent jutsu that would come in handy but weren't extremely useful on their own. At least the physical training was paying off and quick. He knew he was much faster and stronger then he was before he left Konoha.

"Maybe I should try and use a wind jutsu with it…" The blonde continued talking to himself as he looked at the blue orb before placing his other palm towards it and using a small scale wind jutsu within the orb.

The reaction was far from what Naruto expected as he was blown back as the Rasengan exploded. Picking himself off the ground and grumbling to himself, Naruto shook his head as he headed towards the camp to take a break.

He of course had to set up the whole camp by himself on Jiraiya's orders and Kurumi and Saki weren't allowed to help. While he knew it was part of his training, he just thought the pervert was lazy as he didn't want to set up the camp or hunt for the food. At least he allowed Saki to do the cooking after learning Kurumi could ignite water.

Thinking about the two angels, Naruto only smiled and shook his head. Kurumi had been her usual manic self for the most part. Sure, she was being far more hospitable to Saki, though she still tried to boss her around every now and then when it involved him. Outside of that, Kurumi was treating Saki like a sister when she wasn't clinging to him.

There had been on a few occasions that she had dragged him through a town they went through on a date that resulted in Jiraiya and Saki chasing them, but Naruto didn't really mind and even found it humorous. Of course Jiraiya didn't think it was and Saki was just worried that something would have happened and then he would be worked over the next day by the perverted hermit, but he still got a kick out of it.

Naruto had learned Saki was very, very shy when it involved him and was reminded a lot of Hinata expect the angel didn't seem to pass out. She also reminded him of Shizune as she was very courteous and gentle and seemed to be the most responsible of the entire group. There had been an incident where she and Kurumi got in an argument about him, but that was solved very quickly as Saki gave in to Kurumi.

Seeing the camp in the distance, Naruto's stomach growled as he hadn't eaten anything all day. Knowing that Kurumi had brought a stash of ramen with them because she knew he loved it, Naruto was going to go straight to her pack and thank the angel when they came back.

He never knew what hit him as something tackled him and drove him into a tree which snapped on contact like a twig. Grunting as he slumped to the ground, he jumped onto his feet and looked in front of him but saw nothing. His blood froze as he heard a chilling laughter all around him. "Man, what a weakling! I thought this would be challenge."

Naruto growled at the voice that he was sure that belonged to a girl a little younger then himself. Looking around, he wasn't able to see a thing but his ears picked up a small snap of a branch. Rolling forward, he barely managed to dodge the punch aimed for the back of his head. Regaining his balance, he jumped up and turned to see his opponent.

He was caught off guard as he saw a girl with short, gravity defying blonde hair with bangs covering her forehead except for the center which a glowing emerald triangle was embedded. She also wore a blue cap on the top of her head, not that it really covered her head, but that none of this was what caught his attention. It was the black cloak with red clouds decorating it that caught his attention. "Akatsuki…"

"Weak and stupid… I should just put you out of your misery." The girl spoke in a rather annoyed tone as she was hoping for a challenge.

Twitching at her comment, Naruto felt like rushing her but knew better as if she was part of the Akatsuki. He knew she had a considerable amount of power and that would only play into her hand. In fact, the best thing he could do was get to the lab which was only about a mile away. While his chances were slim, he still had to try.

Catching his eyes, the blonde girl knew Naruto was going to try and run and only smirked at him as she placed her hand on her hip. "Go ahead and try to run. Maybe you'll make things more interesting as I know you can't match up to me. Hell, you couldn't defeat that brown haired bitch on your own so there is no way you can match up to a superior model."

Naruto's face fell as realization began to dawn on him that this was yet another Steel Angel. He cursed Jiraiya to the ninth layer of hell for leaving him alone before focusing his attention onto the blonde. He needed a distraction to catch her attention and stall her for a moment so he could get a head start. Having an idea of what to do, he spoke in a tense tone. "So you must be the third angel design and those bastards managed to get a hold of you."

The girl smirked as she kept her eyes on the blonde as he began to circle around him, as if he was trying to position himself in a better spot. She almost wanted to laugh that he was trying to get an advantage over her but held it in. "Oh, you know of me then? That should make it easier on you when I defeat you."

Nodding as he kept circling her keeping his outside hand in his pouch and setting everything up for his plan. "Yes I know of you and about your two hearts, Karinka. The perverted bastard showed me your design so I know your components inside out. Therefore, I know how to defeat you if it comes down to it."

Karinka laughed once more at his words and closed her eyes as it was just too funny. "Oh that's hilarious! You defeating me…"

"NOW!"

Her eyes snapped open only to see a single kunai thrown towards her as Naruto jumped off. She growled at the trick and was about to run towards him when Naruto announced another technique as he ran. "Kunai Kage Bunshin!"

Karinka was caught off guard as the kunai multiplied into a hundred. Even with the amount, she was more then agile enough to dodge them. As she was half way through them, they all began to glow before each exploded in a brilliant flash of light.

"UGH!" Karinka screamed as she covered her eyes as the light was blinding and keeping her from seeing the rest of the cloned kunais. She put her arms up to defend her face as she couldn't afford to lose an eye as they cut and stabbed into her flesh.

As she regained her eyes sight, a loud string of curses left her mouth as she pulled out a few of the kunai. Even on a normal human, none were sufficiently lethal and wouldn't even stall an angel but it did leave Karinka rather pissed. "GODDAMMIT! I'M GOING TO MAKE THAT LITTLE DACK-HOLE PAY FOR THIS!"

After she pulled out the last kunai and pocketed it, which seemed to be the original, she cursed a few more times before taking a look at her surroundings. Noticing the disturbance in the brush, she sprinted in that direction knowing it was where the blonde demon vessel.

Naruto cursed as he could see the blonde angel chasing him once more. He expected to at least have a decent head start on her, but she closed that gap quickly and he wasn't even a quarter of the way to the lab. He knew there was no way he was going to out run her and that left him with one option. He was going to have to stand his ground and fight.

But he knew he couldn't fight her straight up as he knew she would defeat him handily in that situation. He was going to have to use the environment to his advantage and see the forest becoming denser, he smirked as he knew what he was going to do as he formed a cross seal. "Taju Kage Bunshin!"

A couple hundred clones flood the forest and began to spread out as he stopped knowing he was going to make his stand here as this seemed to be the densest part of the forest.

Karinka frowned as she saw the blonde stop and stopped in the tree next to his. Something was up as she knew the blonde was trying to run before and get help but know he was making his stand and ready to fight. He either had a plan or he was just really, really dumb. She didn't doubt her latter explanation, but she doubted it as ninja were sneaky fighters and the two first sent after him failed both times.

Even then, she had the utmost confidence that she would win as her abilities were superior then either of her sisters. "So you've decided that you want to fight? Well then, let's get started then, shall we?"

Without letting him answer, she jumped towards him and was poised to strike when she was forced to defend herself and catch a few shuriken. Naruto took full advantage of this and jumped off his tree and planted both his feet into her chest for a devastating kick. As he knocked her down with the kick, he used her chest to jump back and into the dense brush.

Hitting the ground, Karinka cursed as she jumped up and couldn't see her opponent but knew the direction he went in. That was taken out of consideration as she was forced to jump back as he came from her side. Driving her foot into his stomach, she was surprised to see that he turned into a plum of smoke.

That surprise was taken advantage of as the blonde jumped behind her with a kunai aimed to her spine but something happened that surprised him. She seemingly disappeared before she appeared right behind him and grabbed his head before snapping his neck.

Seeing him turn into smoke as well, Karinka frowned as she began to realize these were clones of him and she needed to find the real one. Still, she couldn't do what she did to the others as she did with that one as she needed the blonde alive. Feeling another sneak attack coming, she disappeared once more and took out another clone as she stabbed it with the kunai the blonde had thrown at her.

Naruto frowned as she easily dispatched the first three clones he sent towards her. It seemed that he was going to have to come up with a different strategy as his hit and run wasn't working too well and he might be on the wrong end of one of those killing blows. That's when it hit him. He would use one of his moves against Neji that failed due to his Byukugan. While he knew it was a long shot, it still had a chance of working.

Looking around as they seemingly stopped attacking as she killed the last clone; she frowned as she looked for the blonde and caught a glint of orange not too far away. Running towards it, she struck faster then he could react and drove the knife into his gut. She was caught off guard as he didn't turn into smoke and began bleeding from the wound she inflicted as the forest was suddenly covered in smoke from the other clones.

This caught her off guard as she hadn't believed she had found the real one this easily and swore something was up with the smoke. Then again, why would he dispel all his clones as they gave him the tactical advantage as she couldn't use her special techniques due to the dense forest. But just as she thought she had found the real one, it turned into smoke taking her by surprise.

Naruto took full advantage of this as he jumped through the smoke with a Rasengan spiraling in his palm. He was only inches from her and could see the look of fear in her emerald eyes as she noticed him. With one strike to her chest, he drove her into a tree and pushed the orb deeper into her chest to end the fight and stop her angel hearts from beating.

Karinka could barely keep herself from screaming as the orb tore into her chest, tearing some of her cloak away from the force of the blow. Grabbing his wrist tightly, she began to push back to keep him from driving it any deeper but it seemed that he was over powering her. She could feel the chakra of the orb was screwing with the power supplied to her from her hearts and she needed to get him off otherwise he would win. Growling, she changed her tactic and increased her grip before snapping his arm.

The pain instantly stopped Naruto's attack and was pushed off before Karinka knocked him to the ground with a powerful back hand. Grabbing his right arm, he looked up and gritted his teeth as she coughed a bit before looking at him vehemently. "You fucking asshole! I should kill you for that!"

Without warning, she picked him up by the throat and slammed him into the tree. She let go only for a moment to pick up the kunai she dropped before driving it into his stomach, pinning him to the tree.

Naruto cried out in pain as the kunai when through his body, barely missing his spine and into the tree. The pain was far too unbearable for him to think straight as she ripped off his weapon pouch and pulled out a couple more kunai.

Giving him a vicious look, Karinka drove another kunai into his left shoulder making it useless before putting the other kunai to his throat. She shook with rage and wanted nothing more then to cut through the flesh of his throat and end this now but she needed him alive. She needed more power as this kid had almost defeated her and that was not acceptable. And there was only one way that she knew of that she could gain more power.

"Your lucky kid… I won't kill you just yet. I need something from that pink haired bimbo and you're the best way to get her quickly." Karinka spoke with some venom still lacing her voice before taking the kunai away from his throat and grabbed the kunai within his stomach causing Naruto to yell in pain. As she was about to pull the kunai out, she felt something coming and was ready for battle once more.

Saki was worried. Jiraiya had released her early as he was finished with correcting what her previous master had done wrong and she went straight out to find her master. The problem was she couldn't find Naruto anywhere. He wasn't in the clearing he had been using to train the last couple of days since they been there and he wasn't at or near the camp. This made her worry more and began to examine the area more thoroughly to see if she could find where he went.

Coming back from the clearing Naruto trained in, she noticed the broken tree and her heart skipped a beat as she could see something was wrong. The ground was covered in small holes from kunai driving into it and a small amount of blood. Taking a closer look, she noticed two sets of foot prints heading into the forest and quickly followed.

Her heart pulsed faster and faster as she became even more worried as she couldn't see where the tracks led anymore. Closing her eyes, she tried to search for Naruto and her heart clinched tightly as fear overwhelmed her. Feeling the direction it came from, she raced towards it with her fist clenched tightly; ready to defend her master from whatever was attacking him.

Hearing him yell in pain, Saki's heart began beating even more before she suddenly saw Naruto with another blonde besides him with a black cloak. But as soon as she saw this, a searing pain in her chest knocked her back into the tree and into the ground. Looking down, she winced as she pulled out a kunai from her left breasts before standing up and glaring at the one who through it and was standing in front of her master. "Let him go!"

Karinka only laughed as she looked back at Naruto before turning to Saki once more. "Oh I don't think so. I need him to catch pinky… You on the other hand I'll just have to get rid off."

Saki frowned before striking at the blonde but she side stepped her with ease, forcing her to suddenly stop as she took in Naruto's appearance. Her body trembled in dread and rage as she looked at him before turning around to Karinka. Her body trembled more as she tightened her fist as she glared at the blonde angel, her eyes promising swift revenge before yelling at the top of her lungs. "I won't let you get away with this!"

The blonde angel only laughed as she stepped back and began circling the brown haired angel just as Naruto did to her. Seeing the brown was dead serious and was determined to carry out her words, Karinka smirked as she stopped in front of her and crossed her arms over her chest. "Oh I would like to see you try, sister."

Karinka: Fu fu fu. It seems that you're no match for me.

Naruto: I hate getting my ass kicked! Can't I win at least once without someone intervening?!

Jiraiya: Not yet gaki. You're not skill enough for that to happen. You were damn close, but not good enough.

Naruto: ARG! I'm calling my lawyer!

Kurumi: (wearing suit with a short skirt) I'm here master!

Naruto: Wow… That's very… (blushes deeply)

Karinka: …What the fuck?! I don't think I want to know.

Jiraiya: (drooling) Inspiration…

Karinka: …I'm surrounded by idiots. Fuck, I have to do it then. Now that Saki's arrived, she attacks me to keep me from her master but she learns about my superior abilities in Karinka's Devastating Power! Also, don't forget to leave a review if you want to say something or if there is a mistake that the author or his Beta has missed. Now will someone say goodbye for me…

Karinka: (looks around) OH GOD DAMMIT! EVERYONE ELSE LEFT! THOSE POMPOUS SONS OF BITCHES! I'LL KICK THEIR ASSES FOR THIS!
