Stage 10: Summer Nights
Nighttime came and the leaf shinobi decided to stay in the mist for one more night before they headed home. I didn't really have a place to call home anymore. The hideout Haku, Zabuza and I had stayed in had belonged to Gato but now that Gato was gone, I could no longer use it so I couldn't offer my new friends a place to stay for the night. I felt like a freeloader, tagging along with them and staying with them in a place they had to pay for themselves.
During the middle of the night I managed to sneak out, no longer able to bear the pain that was bottling up inside me. I couldn't stand the thought of knowing that I couldn't offer them anything in return to their hospitality. Before I left I thought over what that mysterious voice had told me. I was scared but I didn't want anyone else getting involved with my affairs anymore. I had already lost 2 people close to me and I wasn't going to lose anymore because I was too weak to do anything. I feared what the voice had told me was true. I was weak and maybe one day it would take control of my body forever. I knew then I needed to get stronger. I needed to get stronger not only for myself but for those around me as well. I left a note where I hoped they'd all find, which explained my actions to some extent. I didn't want to reveal too much. I didn't know that much myself. Without another sound, I took my leave.
On instinct I arrived at Zabuza and Haku's grave after a few minutes. I walked to the tree that they been buried under and sat down beneath it, being seated in-between Haku and Zabuza's grave. I stared at the piles of dirt. The flowers had begun to wither but in its place little blades of grass started to emerge from the dirt. I looked up at the stary night and cried, the moonlight making my tears sparkle like one of the stars in the sky. I closed my eyes and began to relive all the memories that I had of Haku and Zabuza.
"My, my what do we have here?"
My eyes snapped open and my eyes zeroed in on the voice that tore me from my memories. I wiped the tears from my eyes and glared at the 3 men that stood before me.
"Now what's a pretty little thing like you doing all the way out here?" The one to the right questioned.
"Beat it," I replied coldly.
"Sassy! I love a girl with attitude!" The one in the middle exclaimed. I noted the half empty bottles in their hands.
"Haven't seen your face around here," the one on the left began. "Yet you carry the head band of a mist shinobi!"
"Beat it," I repeated, my gaze turning into a cold icy stare.
"You're cute when you're pissed off." The middle one noted, taking a step towards me. The others followed his lead.
"Beat it or else," I threatened.
"Or what girl? You think you can take on 3 mist chunin!" The one on the right challenged.
"Why don't you hang with us for a bit, we won't show you a bad time," The one on the left offered as he hiccupped.
"You've all had too much to drink." I began, the 3 chunin closing in on me. "Don't say I didn't warn you." With that I took out my guns and began firing, hoping I could scare them off without killing them. To my surprise, even though they were drunk they were able to dodge.
"That's a funny weapon you've got girl, it's mine now!" the middle one exclaimed jumping at me. I jumped up as well, round house kicking him square in the gut causing him to fly off the hill that we stood on.
"Huyzu!" One of them cried out.
"You little bitch!" The other exclaimed, charging at me.
I sighed and got into my fighting stance. Suddenly the one charging at me stopped dead in his tracks. This surprised me. I began firing off some rounds and all the bullets hit their mark. I smirked as I watched the body falling. Suddenly the body turned into a ball of smoke. The smoke cleared seconds later to reveal a wooden log that hit the ground.
"Substitution?"
"Water style, Rising twin missiles!" My head snapped toward the direction from where I heard the voice. Water missiles flew towards me faster than I could react. The twin missiles hit me dead on and trapped me inside the water. Suddenly the missiles sprang high up in the air. "Now for the grand finale!" The man released most of his chakara and the missiles exploded in the air, as if they were watery fireworks. The damage to my body was more than I thought I could handle. I fell from the sky like the water began to fall down like rain. My body collided with the Earth, taking my breath away.
"Water style, duo crucifix restraint!" Water sprang to life once more and wrapped around my body. Suddenly my body rose up on its own. I struggled to break free of the hold they had on me but I was paralyzed. A water shaped cross held me up in the air, my hands and feet trapped in the water-shaped cross.
"Nice work Yatsumeko and Kiinwou." Huyzu praised, appearing at the top of the hill once more. He stopped and spat out blood. "I'll give you credit girl, you've got massive strength but it won't do you any good anymore." Fear crept into my heart as I knew I was trapped. Huyzu walked slowly towards me, as if taunting me. He stopped right in front of me. "What happened to that big talk you had just a while ago?"
Yatsumeko laughed. "I think she looks way cuter scared out of her mind!"
Huyzu took out a kunai knife and held it up high. "Yatsumeko, Kiinwou, I think the restraint is too lose on her, why don't you tighten it up?"
Wicked smiles spread across Yatsumeko and Kiinwou's face. Suddenly I felt massive pressure overwhelming my hands and feet. I could feel my hands breaking under all the pressure but somehow I couldn't feel my legs. I began screaming, unsure of how to cope with this sudden flashes of pain coursing throughout my body. I hung my head low and gasped for air.
Abruptly, I felt a hand grab a fist full of my hair and jerk my head back upwards. "I don't think so," Huyzu stated, running the kunai knife in his hand across my face, gasping at the coldness of the metal. I cried out once more, feeling the cold steel slowly digging its way into my face. Blood began slowly oozing down my face. I screamed and screamed but nothing I did had any effect. With my last reserves of strength I snapped my teeth at Huyzu's hand, successfully biting into it. "Argh! Why you little brat!" I felt Huyzu's other fist connecting with my head several times but I knew I had to hold on to his hand. My vision became blurred from Huyzu hitting my head and the blood gushing out of my head that also contributed to clouding my vision. I felt the pressure coming back to my hands and feet, more pressure than I've ever felt.
I screamed until I had no voice left. Huyzu looked at his hand and became furious. Everything in my body felt numb and I just let my body hang, no longer having the strength to do anything. I wondered why my special ability wasn't working. Usually when water touched my body it healed me, yet this water did nothing but cause me a great deal of pain. My head was jerked upwards once more and I felt the coldness of the kunai knife on my neck.
"How dare you bite me you filthy child!" Huyzu exclaimed. I closed my eyes and waited to feel the cold steel run through my throat. Huyzu eyed my mist head band Haku had given to me and ripped it off my leg. My eyes snapped open and a newfound strength was coursing through me.
"Give that back to me, NOW!" I exclaimed, fighting against my restraints. Huyzu smirked wickedly, knowing he had found the one thing that meant something to me. He laughed and dangled the head band out in front of my face and watched as I struggled as hard as I could against my restraints. Yatsumeko and Kiinwou joined in as well for they knew my efforts were all in vain. "Give it back! Give it back! GIVE IT BACK!" No matter how loud I screamed they all drowned my voice out with the sound of their laughter. Huyzu threw my head band up in the air, I watched in horror as it came down. Huyzu rose his kunai knife and began slicing the head band into pieces. The last slice he cut the metal that carried the mist symbol in two pieces. I watched as the fabric floated away with the wind and listened as the two halves of the metal hit the ground. My hopes were crushed.
I began crying once more, knowing that for once I was absolutely powerless. 'I'm so weak…I'm too weak…Haku, Zabuza, I failed.' My head hung low once more as the tears flew off my face, only to be replaced with a new trail of tears.
"Don't worry little girl, we'll put you out of your misery soon enough!" Huyzu promised. Huyzu raised his kunai knife high once more.
I squeezed my eyelids shut and braced myself. 'Haku… I'm coming.'
"Waugh!"
I slowly opened my eyes to find that it wasn't myself who was screaming this time, it was Huyzu.
"Take this you creep!"
Suddenly, Huyzu was flying through the air back down the hill once more.
"You little brat we'll show you!" Before my mind could register what was going on my restraints were loosened and I was falling to the ground, along with the rest of the water. I hit my head on the ground, passing out before I could understand what was going on.
My eyes opened only to find that I was surrounded in complete darkness. 'Where did the stars and moon go? Where's anything?' I couldn't seem to see anything at all, not even my own hand. 'Am I dead?'
'You might as well be.' I turned my head round and round again and again yet I still couldn't see the slightest thing, no matter where I turned. 'You're so pathetic. Beaten by a lowly class of wimps.'
'Shut up. I don't need to be lectured by you right now.'
'Fine suit yourself then. I was only trying to help you out.'
'What the hell are you talking about? You've been trying to bring me down for days now!'
'If that is what you believe then believe whatever you wish. It is truly pitiful watching how someone with such potential can be beaten so easily.'
'Just what are you suggesting?'
'I'm not suggesting anything. I'm just saying that you have so much power, power I can give to you yet you do nothing with it.'
'There is no way in hell that I'd ever let a ruthless monster like you use me like a puppet.'
'You can have power beyond you're wildest dreams! You can be so much more stronger, you can beat anyone who stands in your way! Just submit to me and all this power will be yours. You'll never know the sting of defeat and loss!'
'I don't care. I won't take power from you if it means I have to kill innocent people!'
'So you're attackers were innocent were they? They nearly killed you! With my power you can easily take down anyone who stands in your way! You can even protect the ones you have these feelings of love towards!'
I was speechless. I didn't know what else to say. I knew better than to think everyone in this world was kind. There is good and evil and so far I've come into contact with more evil than good. 'I don't want to obtain power that way. I want to obtain it on my own. I want to be stronger on my own by training until I've become stronger! I want to protect my friends with my strength not yours!'
'What an arrogant girl you are. I can't believe the likes of myself got stuck with such a weak host.'
'Just what the hell are you?'
'Well, seeings how you and I stuck with one another you should learn the name of the person who will be in control. I am your anigeka form.'
'Anigeka?'
As if on cue, the mysterious voice I had been hearing had finally revealed itself to me. I finally had a face to picture him with. 'I am called Gogyou. I don't care if you think you're going to get stronger but the fact remains you will always be weak in my eyes. I am growing stronger and it's only a matter of time before I am able to take control.'
I stared at Gogyou for a long moment. He wasn't what I had imagined at all. He actually looked like a human but his looks weren't fooling me. He was a demon. 'Say what you think Gogyou, I honestly don't give a damn. There's no way I'd let the world be at mercy by your hand. I won't allow it!'
Gogyou folded his arms and laughed in my face. He didn't have the least bit of concern, as if he was taking what I had said as a joke. 'This is your fate. You cannot escape your destiny. I will become you and you will become me. We will become one and only the strongest will remain in control. I have no doubt in my mind that I will be the strongest.'
'Say what you want but I have the power to shape my own path, mold my own destiny! I don't have just one path to follow, I will break away from that path and create a new path for myself because I'm in control, not you, not destiny, not anyone or anything!'
Again Gogyou laughed in my face. He didn't seem to care what I thought. He acted like he knew what was going to happen and he found enjoyment in watching me suffer. There was no way I could ever let the likes of something like him lose on the world.
A sudden bright light immobilized my vision and I heard a new yet familiar voice.
"Refi! Refi come on open up your eyes!" I could feel my body being shaken rapidly. "REFI!"
I knew that I had regained conscientiousness yet I couldn't see anything. Everything was still black. "Who…Who's calling me? Who has me? Let go!" I began flailing, trying to break the hold on whoever had me.
"Refi! Refi stop it's me! Naruto!" Naruto exclaimed, trying to restrain me.
"Naruto?" I froze where I was and suddenly I felt the pain of the damage that was inflicted on me not too long ago. I cringed in pain.
"Yes it's Naruto! Try not to move around too much you took a lot of damage you hear me?"
"Yeah, I hear you but I can't see you!" I yelled in a panic.
"You're looking at me though, I can see you're eyes." Naruto explained.
"I can only hear your voice. Naruto you've got to get me to a river, lake, stream, pond or the closest water source now!"
"K, just hold onto me," Naruto commanded. I obeyed and held onto him as he scooped up my body and began walking.
"Where did those creeps go?"
"I took care of them."
"How?"
"What do you mean how?" Naruto questioned. "I beat them to a bloody pulp that's how!"
I sighed to myself. "I see. How did you know where I was? How did you find me?" I interrogated.
Naruto spoke without hesitation, "You see I noticed a little while ago because I had the sudden urge to use the bathroom."
"Umm that's a little too much info."
"When I went to go back to bed I was randomly looking around the room and I saw a piece of paper." A wave of guilt washed over my body. "I read it and came rushing to find you. It's a good thing I did. I could have been too late. ." Naruto trailed off. I noted the sadness in his voice.
"What do you care? You don't even like me, remember? Why help someone you don't even like?" I questioned. Naruto stopped in his tracks.
"I won't stand by when someone is in trouble! We may have gotten off on the wrong foot but there was something, something I saw in you." I sat and listened intently to what he was going to say. "I saw the pain and suffering in your eyes that I saw in myself. You're the same as me in a way, you know."
"I don't think I'm the same as you Naruto. I'm far different."
"Who's Gogyou?" Naruto questioned.
A cold chill ripped through my body as I heard that name roll off Naruto's tongue. "How do you know that name?"
"You talk in your sleep." He responded. I panicked. "I heard enough to know that you're struggling like me."
"Like you?" I began. "Naruto you don't know what this is like. I've got this monster trapped inside me who's on the brink of escaping and taking over my body, I'll no longer exist. How can you say you know what this is like?"
"Because I have a monster in me as well, only mine is true demon, not an Anigeka." Naruto's tone dropped from his normal cheery tone. "I was shunned by everyone in my village. No one wanted someone like me, someone who had a monster in them. But Iruka-sensi never gave up on me. He pushed me, believed in me and got me where I am today. Iruka-sensi is the person who saw me as a person and not just as some monster, just like Haku saw you as a person."
I never knew that Naruto had a past like that. I never knew. Rather I never bothered to get to know him. I didn't know what to think. Naruto continued walking. "This Iruka sounds like one heck of a guy." I noted.
"Iruka-sensi is the best! I am lucky have had him as my sensi and not anyone else!" And there Naruto went. He went on and on about how great his sensi was and how great his squad. As I listened to Naruto I knew there was one little difference between us. I didn't have as great of people as he did. The only person I had was Elfi, yet, that was all I needed. As long as it was someone, rather than having no one. "Ok we're here now! What do I do?"
I heard the water lightly splashing against some rocks so I assumed we were at a pond or lake. "Please throw me in the water."
"Throw you?" Naruto questioned, shocked.
"Don't worry I'll be alright. People usually just throw me around anyways."
"I've got a better idea!" Suddenly Naruto and I were flying through the air.
"What are you-" before I could finish my sentence, Naruto and I had hit the water. Immediately the water consumed me and began healing my injuries. Naruto still held onto me, watching in amazement at what he was witnessing. The water that consumed me soon mixed back with the pond and my vision came back to me. I saw Naruto staring at me. Feeling a bit uncomfortable I swam out of his arms and up to the surface, swallowing a gulp of air. Not long afterwards, Naruto surfaced as well. "Naruto, thank you, for everything." I said with a smile for once.
"Anything for the people I care about!" Naruto said, raising his hand out of the water to give me a thumbs up.
"You could actually care about me? After all we've been through?" I questioned.
"Hey the past is the past, let's focus on what the future's going to hold!"
The feeling in me at that moment was a feeling that I wished I could always feel. I was so happy that I began splashing Naruto.
"Hey quit it!" Naruto protested as he splashed back. I felt like I was a little kid in that moment but at least I knew one person who knew of what I felt. Maybe if I did let my friends help, they could help me defeat Gogyou. I was almost certain of it.
Suddenly I felt the water become colder, more darker than how it was just warm. I stopped splashing Naruto and I sat and listened. Naruto noted that I had stopped. "What's wrong Refi?"
From under water I felt something stirring. I jumped up out of the water and grabbed Naruto. I ran off the water and made it to dry land.
"What's going on?" Naruto questioned as I let go of him. A huge explosion erupted in the middle of the lake, at the almost exact same location Naruto and I were just moments ago. "What was that?"
"Trouble."
"We're back!" Huyzu exclaimed on a cliff to the right of us. My guess is that Naruto jumped off it.
"Sorry Huyzu I missed." Yatsumeko apologized, kneeling before him on his right side whereas Kiinwou was to his left kneeling before Huyzu as well..
"Heh, doesn't matter! I wouldn't have been satisfying if they died just from that! I want them to suffer!"
"You creeps again!"
I reached into my pack and grabbed my guns. "Those toys again," Kiinwou noted. "Those are useless."
"We'll see about that."
"We've got a little surprise for you two!" Huyzu yelled, jumping off the cliff and landing behind Naruto and I. Naruto turned to face him while I never took my eyes off of Kiinwou and Yatsumeko. Naruto and I were back to back, ready to fight. Suddenly, the 3 chunin's hands began moving simultaneously.
"Brace yourself Naruto!" I warned, firing off some rounds at Kiinwou and Yatsumeko. Kiinwou and Yatsumeko both disappeared into the shelter of the forest that sat before the cliff. '
'Damn mother nature!'
"Ah!" Naruto exclaimed. I looked in the direction Naruto screamed. Naruto was being dragged into the water.
"What the? Hang on!" I turned my body and took off to aid Naruto only to be kicked in the face, sending me back farther than I originally was. I regained my balance while flying through the air before I went head first into the side of the cliff. I rotated my body so that my feet hit the side of the cliff. My legs built up as much momentum as they could and I shot myself off the wall, like a bullet being fired from a gun. I began shooting off numerous rounds, hitting Kiinwou and Yatsumeko. As I flew past them, I punched them with all my might. They skipped on the water like a rock did when someone skipped it across a little pond. I did a flip and landed on my feet at the shore of the beach type scenery. I frantically scanned the lake, trying to locate Naruto. Nothing stirred. The night was still once more. A little too still for my comfort.
"Naruto!" I screamed across the lake. I received no response. I knew that if I were to blindly run out on the water I would end up running into a trap. These chunins were not to be taken lightly, I learned that the first time. I began raking my mind for possibilities for what I could do.
Suddenly the air became dense and a heavy fog began to emerge. I smirked to myself. Fighting in a fog was one of my specialties. I closed my eyes and listened intently to my surroundings.
I suddenly spun my body around in a circle, dodging a barrage of kunai. My eyes remained closed as I began dodging a kunai being swung at me repeatedly by Kiinwou.
"Hold still you damn brat!" Kiinwou screamed at me, swinging the kunai in his hand at me once more. I opened my eyes and grabbed his arm. Before I could give him any time to react I flung Kiinwou over my shoulder with all my might and threw him as hard as I could into the side of the cliff. His body turned into water on impact.
"Substitution again?" I questioned, angered.
"I'll admit girl, you've got some pretty good tricks!" I heard Huyzu's voice call out to me through the thick mist. "But you are no match for the three of us!"
I smirked to myself. "We'll just see about that!"
"Argh!"
"Naruto?" I yelled, trying to zero in on where I heard his voice. Suddenly, Yatsumeko's body flew past my head and crashed into the side of the cliff, creating a little hole in the side of the cliff. I watched as his body fell out of the hole and onto the ground.
"Refi!" I turned my head to see Naruto running up to me. "Are you alright?"
Naruto stopped right in front of me. I snapped out of my shocked phase. "Yeah I'm alright but what about you?"
"Heh! These wimps are nothing but push overs!" Something clicked in my head. I whipped out one of my guns and fired it right into Naruto's head. I watched as his head flinched back.
"How..?" Naruto questioned as I watched his body turn into smoke, revealing the Naruto imposter, Kiinwou. I watched his body fall to the ground as his face laid in a pool of his own blood.
"One down," I turned around only to find Yatsumeko had disappeared.
"You're going to pay for that!"
Before I knew what hit me my body was already flying high up in the air. A silent scream escaped my lips as my head felt as if it were on fire once more. In the blink of an eye Yatsumeko was high above my body. I watched in horror as he spun his leg around in an aerial. My body wouldn't move.
"Mist tsunami!" His foot connected with my head and immediately sent me flying back towards earth. With the force of the kick it felt as if the earth's gravity had enhanced ten times what it was as I collided with the earth, face first. I knew that if I stayed down I would be killed for sure. I struggled to get on my knees.
'Come on vision!' I yelled at myself, only able to make out the blurs of my own blood. 'I need to see!' No matter how hard I tried my eyes wouldn't stay in focus. The breaths I took were loud and desperate for air. Blood began pooling up into my lungs but quickly moved to the back of my throat. I began coughing out as much blood as I could in order for me to keep getting the oxygen my body needed.
"End of the line girly."
I lifted my head slightly upwards to see Huyzu standing in front of me. I glared the best I could at him. He knelt down so we could see eye to eye. "You're a stubborn one!" Huyzu commented. "Anyone who gets hit by Yatsumeko's Mist tsunami are more than dead right now!"
"I could correct that," Yatsumeko offered, appearing next to Huyzu.
Huyzu held up his hand to Yatsumeko. "No, no. We have to make this girl suffer a nice, slow and agonizing death, for Kiinwou's sake!" I watched in horror as a wicked smile spread across his face.
'I think it's time I took over,' A loud voice boomed in the back of my mind.
"No, this is my fight!" I screamed, digging my nails into the dirt. Huyzu gave me a puzzled look, as if I had gone crazy or something.
'You're too weak to beat these guys! You don't have the bloodthirsty killer instinct that I have! If you had that, these punks would have been dead from the first moment you heard their voices!' Gogyou lectured. 'You're weak! You're weakness draws me out! Now it's my turn to take control while you can watch how it's really done!'
"I said shut up! I don't need you're help!" I yelled. "So you just go BACK to wherever the hell it is you came from! YOU HEAR ME!" I screamed as I stood up with a sudden new form of energy coursing throughout my body.
Abruptly, Huyzu took this moment while I was distracted to attack. He lunged forward and stabbed me with his kunai. My eyes moved slowly downward to see that the kunai had stabbed deep into my body. Yatsumeko moved swiftly next to stab my back, where my heart was. I watched in horror as my blood oozed out of my body and dripped on the ground. Yatsumeko and Huyzu pushed their kunai into me as deeply as it would go. They twisted the kunais around in 3 complete circles before they jumped away from my body.
As they jumped away, my legs gave out from under me and I fell to the ground, face down in the dirt. As I hit the ground the kunai knife in my stomach became embedded deeper into my body. I laid in the pool of my own blood, dying, I only had but one regret. I couldn't save Naruto and for all I knew he was already dead.
Huyzu laughed menacingly. "Looks like it's the end of the line for you." I tried to gasp for air but only inhaled my own blood. In the blink of an eye, Huyzu was back by me, staring down at me with a triumph smirk across his face. "I'll put you out of your misery!" With that Huyzu began kicking my body as hard as he could. The pain soon faded as my body went into complete shock. It was taking whatever strength I had in me just to keep Gogyou from coming out once again. I had no power left to defend myself. Yatsumeko joined in with Huyzu and began kicking me repeatedly as well. As more blood drained out of my body I could feel my strength slowly flowing out of my body with the blood.
"Waugh!" I yelled as Huyzu stomped on my neck.
"Hurts don't it?' Huyzu taunted. My body couldn't take it any longer. Everything in my body began shutting down once more. All the pain seemed to fade away as I slipped into a state of unconsciousness "Just die already!" Huyzu lifted his foot once more, ready to strike my neck once more, splitting it into two halves.
"Phoenix claw jutsu!"
"What the-?" Huyzu gasped before he was hit by the overwhelming fire.
"Huyzu!" Yatsumeko exclaimed, chasing after Huyzu's now flaming body. Yatsumeko quickly moved Huyzu's body to the lake and extinguished the flames.
"Just what the hell was that?" Huyzu demanded to know as he looked frantically around.
"Looks like we got here just in time." Yatsumeko and Huyzu watched as 3 figures emerged from the crater they were both just in.
"Just who the hell are you?" Yatsumeko demanded to know.
"Sasuke Uchiha."
"Sakura Haruno."
"And Kakashi Hatake. We are squad 7 of the leaf village." Kakashi explained.
"Kakashi? The copy ninja!" Huyzu questioned in disbelief.
"Looks like you're more popular than we thought you were sensi." Sakura commented.
Kakashi ignored Sakura's comment. "Now just what have you done with Naruto Uzumaki?"
"Naruto?" Huyzu and Yatsmeko questioned in unison as they gave each other puzzled looks.
"Oh! You mean that blond haired, loud-mouthed brat?" Yatsumeko asked, turning to face Kakashi. Kakashi gave them a light nod. Yatsumeko looked at Huyzu as they both laughed.
"Just what's so funny?" Sasuke demanded to know.
"That kid is history!" Huyzu exclaimed.
"Really now?" In the blink of an eye Kakashi was behind both Yatsumeko and Huyzu. "You're both are going to pay for what you've done." Before Yatsumeko or Huyzu could turn to face Kakashi their bodies were already airborne.
"Fire style, fire ball jutsu!" Sasuke inhaled deeply and as he exhaled, balls of fire larger than boulders flew straight at Yatsumeko. Yatsumeko rotated his body in the air and did a series of hand seals.
"Liquid bullets!" Yatsumeko inhaled deeply, and just like Sasuke, as he exhaled, instead of fire water bullets the size of boulders flew to meet Sasuke's fire balls. As the two jutsus clashed, steam began filling the air, making it hard for Sasuke to see just what was going on. Sasuke tried using his sharp eyes to see just what was happening through the steam.
Meanwhile, Kakashi jumped behind Huyzu's body once more and kicked it sky high. As Huyzu flew high up Kakashi jumped as high as he could. As Kakashi swung his body around for a round-house kick, Huyzu's body turned into a log. "What?" Kakashi gasped.
"Rain of destruction!" Kakashi whipped his head to where he heard Huyzu's voice. Kakashi gasped in horror as thousands of kunai came showering down towards him. He took out a kunai knife and began blocking as many of the kunai as he could.
Kakashi landed on the ground, only suffering minor cut wounds from the kunai. "Looks like I can't take these guys lightly." With that statement, Kakashi lifted his head up to reveal his sharigun.
"Finally getting serious, eh Kakashi?" Huyzu taunted, appearing in front Kakashi. Kakashi said nothing but slightly rose a kunai knife up. Suddenly an overwhelming pain came over Kakashi's arm causing him to drop the kunai knife and fall down to his knees. Shortly after his arm other areas of his body began hurting as well.
"Just what the hell is this?" Kakashi questioned, outraged by the sudden pain.
Huyzu's laugh echoed throughout the sky as he laughed at Kakashi's ignorance. "Those weren't just ordinary kunai knives each one of them had a deadly poison on the tips of them! Just one small cut from one of those kunai and you'd be paralyzed for at least a week!"
"Oh no!" Kakashi cried out as his body fell to the ground, face first. 'I can't move anything! I'm a sitting duck like this!' Kakashi told himself while struggling to move something in his body.
Huyzu walked casually over to Kakashi. "Don't waste your time or strength it's impossible to move anything from all the cuts you've got on your body," Huyzu explained. A devilish smile began to spread across Huyzu's face. "To think a leaf jonin, none other than Kakashi the copy ninja himself, could be taken down by a mere mist chunin. Now then, time to end this!"
"You're right! It is time to end this!"
Startled by this voice, Huyzu looked around frantically to see just where this voice was coming from. From out of the shadows, Yatsumeko's dead body was thrown right at Huyzu. Huyzu dodged it but look back, horrified and enraged at what he saw. "Show your self you coward!" Huyzu demanded.
From behind Huyzu, the mysterious person of whom he had demanded reveal themselves appeared. Huyzu turned around and stared as he watched this person step all over Yatsumeko's dead body.
"How dare you!" Huyzu began, turning to face this person. "Just who the hell do you think you are! Don't you have some respect for the dead!"
"I don't respect worthless trash like yourself or your dead friend." With that the person kicked Yatsumeko's body and sent it flying into Huyzu. Being taken by surprise by this, Huyzu wasn't able to dodge Yatsumeko's flying body. Once Yatsumeko's dead body hit Huyzu he went flying with Yatsumeko into the dark depths of the woods. After flying through 2 trees and smashing into the 3rd one to stop this momentum, Huyzu sent Yatsumeko's body on the ground and readied himself for any attack from any direction.
"You know people like you really piss me off," the person told Huyzu as they walked directly towards Huyzu. Fear began to override all of Huyzu's thoughts and actions as his eyes watched shockingly as this person came walking up to him with no guard up or not even a single weapon. Huyzu held his kunai firmly in his hand, so firmly that his hand began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Just who the hell are you?" Huyzu demanded to know.
The person stopped not short of 5 feet from Huyzu. "My name is Kasai. Element: Fire." Kasai stated with a smirk. She could see the terror in his eyes and hear how terrified he was by his voice.
"You work for the leaf village don't you?" Huyzu began. "You're with those other punks!"
"You're the one who put Refi in that state, didn't you?" Kasai asked in a venomous tone.
"Refi?" Huyzu questioned, not knowing what or who Kasai was talking about.
"That girl in the crater back there, you know the one you left dying in her own pool of blood and smashed around for some time?"
Huyzu gasped at the fierceness in Kasai's voice. "Oh you mean that weak little girl?" Huyzu laughed nervously. "So what if I did do that to her? What will you do about it?"
"I'll kill you, just like I killed your other little friend there." Kasai stated. Kasai's hand suddenly held two balls of fire that grew and grew until she flicked it back down to the ground, revealing her true weapons, duo fans.
Huyzu laughed at this. "Fans? What kind of weapons are those?" Huyzu began, gaining some confidence back in himself. "There's no way you'll be able to defeat me with those useless things!"
Kasai did nothing but said, "You know, you're little buddy over there did the exact same thing. He insulted my weapons and gloated about how great a shinobi he was and how I couldn't beat him, now look where that got him." Huyzu gulped. Kasai rose her fans up. "Never underestimate an opponent. But it looks like it's too late for you." With that Kasai began making hand seals.
"Wwaa…Wait a second!" Huyzu begged as he dropped his kunai.
"Fire style, danshinguhisakidoki no jutsu!" Kasai threw her fans towards Huyzu. As they spun faster and faster in the air fire began to surround them until a fire tornado engulfed both Huyzu and Kasai.
"Where are we?" Huyzu questioned.
"We're in the eye of my danshinguhisakidoki no jutsu but here's the catch, only one of us can make it out alive!"
"That's crazy! You could end up killing yourself!"
"We'll see who survives." Kasai said with a smirk. Both Kasai and Huyzu began taking massive damage from the flame tornado. Suddenly the flame tornado became wild and violent. A smile played across Kasai's lips as Huyzu's body began disintegrating, leaving behind nothing at all, not even the ashes of his existence. Finally, the fire died down to mere smoke that floated away on the dawn's breeze.
