Chapter 40 the battle with Shikaku
Seth's P.O.V.
"What I miss?" I remarked.
"Alot!" Naruto declared.
I turned to look at what Naruto was fighting. I saw Gaara but half his body was covered in sand and there was a tail on his backside.
"Seems like that bastard Shikaku has started taking over. I'll have to strengthen the seal on his host." I hear Rex say in my head. "We're going to need to act fast before it reaches it's final stage."
I watched as the other half of Gaara was covered in sand it looked so messed up.
I drew my blade ready to take an attack. I had made electricity and flames run up and down the edge.
Then it lunged at Naruto. I made my move. I took a swing at its arm. My blade passed clean through it I could hear a lot of searing as it passed through. The arm of sand a part of it turned into glass.
"I won't lose to you two I'll kill both of you and prove my existence." Gaara yelled out as I watched as his body enlarged into a giant racoon dog thing made of sand.
"Let me out! And be ready to muster up as much smoke as possible! I'm going to do something so crazy that it might just work!" I hear Rex shout out in my head.
"Naruto I need your smoke bombs as many as you can spare and the Chief toad."
"Roger. Shadow clone Jutsu!" Naruto responded as he made a lot of clones.
"All of you go with Seth and listen to his orders. I'll try to summon the Chief."
I had moved out of Gaara's sight the clones had followed me.
"Summoning Jutsu!" I yelled out as I did the jutsu without the blood sacrifice. A cloud of smoke formed. As it cleared it revealed Rex pulling the smoke in with his hands.
"Everybody throw all your smoke bombs at Rex! I'll do the same. When you run out of smoke bombs release yourself!"
The clones had taken out as many smoke bombs they could hold. I did the same. I started to throw smoke bombs one at a time at Rex I watched as he pulled the smoke into his body. The clones did the samething. As he absorbed the smoke his body grew the more he pulled in. We kept doing this until he was massive able to rival the size of the Chief toad.
Rex had bent over and picked me up. Naruto's clones had dispelled before we were off towards Shikaku's location. I was clinging onto his shoulder as he sprinted towards the sand monster.
Naruto's P.O.V.
So they finished. Just need to stall for time. "Chief I got an idea!"
"Oh and what is it?"
"We need to make the sand sticky and I don't think water will work."
"I see. Oil bullet!" The Chief said before blob of black tar came flying out of his mouth hitting Gaara or whatever he's become.
"Drayconic Fire Bullets!" I hear someone yell before three massive balls of blue flames collide with the tar coated monster igniting it.
"Are we late?" I heard a sarcastic remark. I turned to see Seth riding on Rex's shoulder.
"You! Mother wants to kill you personally!" I heard Gaara growl out.
"Play Possum Jutsu!" He the said
"Hahahaha, I'm free!" I heard a crazier voice than Gaara was just a moment ago.
Rex's P.O.V.
"Shikaku!" I announced getting the sand dumbass's attention.
"You I'm going to take great pleasure in killing you."
"Then bring it on." I taunted as I pulled out my blade.
Naruto's P.O.V.
I watched as those two fought.
"Naruto we need to wake the host up. He just used the play possum jutsu so he shouldn't be too hard to wake up." The chief said to me.
"How are we going to do that?"
"We need to beat the host until he wakes." Was the response. "I need you to turn us into something with teeth and claws. I am not good at transformations so you will need to weave the signs I'll supply you with my chakra."
"Right."
Seth's P.O.V.
What the hell? Why is the nine tails standing over there? It's attacking Shikaku pinning it.
"Rex throw your boy at Shikaku's head!" I heard the Chief's voice come from the kyuubi.
Rex grabbed me and launched me at the sand beast's head. I saw Gaara sticking out from the top of it and Naruto going for him. I landed behind Gaara so I decided to go for him as well. Solid fist raised ready to land a staggering blow.
I ran towards him at full force. I saw Naruto doing the same thing. I was the first to reach Gaara. I swung for his head. The sand tried to protect him but no somehow I triggered my smoke ability unintentionally and my punch passed clean through the sand, landing flat on the back of his head. It it didn't even seem to make him flinch. Next came Naruto's he was dodging the sand as much as he could when his blow finally landed it ended in a head butt that made his head all bloody.
"My power! No it's slipping!" I heard Shikaku screams as his form crumbled letting us all fall to the forest floor.
Rex's P.O.V.
"Well it was an honor fighting alongside you Chief toad."
"You to dragon."
I started to release a lot of the excess smoke I had trapped in my body while condensing it at the same time allowing me to shrink. Back to my normal size. I quickly rushed over to the landing sight. I saw all three Seth was snoring, Gaara was lying on his stomach he was staring at Naruto with fear, Naruto on the other hand was crawling towards him.
"What the hell are you?! How are you still going?!" Gaara yelled
"I'm a guy who is going to protect his friends, his village. The drive to protect what I care about makes me strong."
"Naruto that is enough I'll finish this." I said making Naruto back off.
I walked closer to Gaara I saw the terrified look as if he was going to die. I picked him up by the shirt exposing his stomach. You could see the seal holding Shikaku. I formed another seal. The tri-spiral containment seal. That should stop the racoon bastard from doing any more damage to the boy than he's already done.
"Tri-Spiral containment seal." I said as I slammed the finger tips that held the seal to be place into him.
"And there that should fix it entirely." I said I was exhausted growing to the size of a mountain then back down. I sensed a fourth person.
"I know you're there you can collect your brother and leave." That girl Temari had popped out and scooped up her brother. I stopped her before she left.
"When he comes to tell him this 'To truly become strong he must find something other than himself. Like the ones that truly care for him like his siblings.' With that I take my leave." I finished as turned around and walked over to Naruto and Seth. I picked them both up and placed them onto my shoulders and carried them off to the hospital. I wonder how the hell they're going to react to me.
