Bloody Nightmare charged at the group with a sword appearing in his right hand. Naruto took out a kunai and met the ninja head-on. Sparks flew from the points of collision. Bloody Nightmare brought his sword down to slice Naruto, but he blocked it with his kunai. Lightning soon coursed through the blade cutting through the kunai. Naruto tried to divert its path, but it came quicker than he originally thought.
The sword sliced through Naruto before he dispelled in a cloud of smoke. Bloody Nightmare snarled and cleared the smoke. Sasuke's hand was to his mouth with Temari and Naruto by his sides. A roaring fireball flew to the ninja after leaving Sasuke's mouth. He was about to dodge when he found he couldn't move. The sand below him had already begun to climb his legs. He looked back at the group to see Gaara manipulating the sand.
Temari brought her fan back and swung it forward while Naruto ran through hand signs and a gust of wind escaped his lips. The two wind attacks collided and mixed with the fireball adding oxygen, making it larger. The fireball collided with the intended target kicking up sand. Naruto glanced at Neji who nodded and ran into the sand cloud. Inside the cloud Neji got in range.
Preparing his hands he saw the ninja's chakra network. With each strike he blocked the flow of one until he struck all 64 points. The cloud decreased revealing Neji standing and the ninja kneeling breathing hard. His hat got blown off revealing red medium hair. A light smirk formed on Naruto's face. So far his plan was working. Now the question is, how long could they keep it up? Since his chakra flow stopped he should be an easy target.
"You brat! You'll pay for this!" exclaimed Bloody Nightmare.
"It's no use. I've blocked all 64 of your chakra points."
"YOU WILL PAY!"
Raw power and energy shot out of his body and he took a hold of his sword. He vanished from view and in a blink of an eye Neji's eyes were widened with the Byakugan fading. He fell lifelessly to the ground showing a large slash mark on his back. Everyone's eyes widened to see that. No one never even saw him move. Just how strong is their enemy?
"One down, five more to go."
"Sasuke, above you!" shouted Naruto.
Sasuke looked up seeing his opponent coming down with his sword now blazing with fire. He jumped out of the way and put his hand in the air. A Chidori formed and lightning roared through the cloud above them. The shape and form of a dragon came down and stopped just above Sasuke. They all wondered what he was thinking. The attack he brought didn't look like it could do serious damage.
"Go into the clouds," Sasuke commanded. After it did so, he continued, "Allow me to introduce to you one of my strongest attacks, Kirin!" The dragon came out now surging with lightning. Naruto and the others now knew what he was doing and if they didn't get to a safe distance then they will be as good as dead. "Be gone in a thunder clap!"
The dragon came crashing down with sparks of lightning making a brief trail. Bloody Nightmare closed his eyes and held his sword with both hands. One by one a different chakra nature entered the sword until every nature was in it. It glowed yellow and he pointed it at the dragon. With all chakra natures in the sword it prepared to fire.
"Elemental Blast."
A yellow beam shot out of the tip of the blade, roaring as it collided and cancelled Sasuke's jutsu. With the blade still glowing he positioned it to face Sasuke and fired. After the blast stopped everyone's eyes widened to see not a trace of Sasuke. Before they could mourn Naruto appeared with an unconscious Sasuke. Rage filled his eyes as he charged at the ninja. As he ran two clones appeared by his side. Together they began on making the jutsu.
A buzzing sound came from Naruto as he prepared to attack. He cocked back his hand with the jutsu and brought it to meet the ninja. Naruto's eyes widened to not only see the ninja, but also feeling a piercing pain in his back and chest. He looked down to see a sword sticking out of his chest. Bloody Nightmare had pierced his sword through Naruto's back and the force made it come out of his chest. He took his sword out kicked Naruto in the air.
He vanished from view as Naruto showed signs of him being attacked. With a hardened fist he punched Naruto in the stomach. Naruto coughed up blood before crashing into the sand. Everyone noticed all the new open wounds on his body. The strange thing is he was not healing. Gaara grew an almost saddened look feeling Naruto slipping away slowly but surely.
After a few seconds of silence and Naruto not moving Bloody Nightmare appeared and stabbed Naruto through the heart. Before looking at the others he noticed something on Naruto's jacket and grew widened eyes. Upon seeing this, tears rolled down Temari's face, Gaara had a tear forming in his eye, but Kokoa was unleashing a fountain of tears. Images of them together instantly came into her head, but soon the feeling of sadness was replaced with anger.
A red aura started forming around her and she knew this power all too well. Though she said she didn't want to use it, hate and anger completely took control over her. The ribbons that held her ponytails in place burned off, her hair flared out and her eyes turned crimson red. Her nails grew long and sharp, whisker marks appeared on her face and it flared out. She went on all fours giving a hardened glare at the ninja. Soon enough she was complete with her transformation.
Temari heard a cracking noise and turned to Gaara. Pieces of his face were missing and cracks littered his face. He held his head and feel to his knees. The marking on the side of his forehead changed from love to hate. Sand violently spun around him making the Shukaku's features cover half of his body. Temari knew she should not try to stop them unless she will die.
Bloody Nightmare stared his opponents knowing he is going to have to be on his toes and kill them if need be. This will prove to be a tough battle for him.
Will Kokoa and Gaara lose control? Will they prevail? What will happen to Naruto, Sasuke and Neji? Find out on the next issue of Lover from another Dimension.
