"So you think that you will take us all on?" Kakashi asked frowning.
"No…no I would dream of doing that," Kabuto said smirking, "If it wasn't for the little Jubi," he said his eyes falling on Naruko.
"Then we would be able to deal with you all…but seeing how the little Jubi is here we will have to find someone who can deal with her," Kabuto said still smirking.
"You already found someone," Shikamaru said smirking.
"Of course you don't think that I would come here unprepared now do you?" Kabuto asked, "All the wizards were a good cover to bring him out to hide his presence…but I think you might have notice him already," again he was looking at Naruko.
"I thought it was him…" Naruko said frowning.
"Who is he talking about?" Harry asked looking confused wondering who would be strong enough to beat Naruko. He hadn't seen any other Shinobi before but what he had seen it was hard to believe that anyone could be stronger than her. It seemed that no one else knew who they were talking about either.
"Wow… look how you have grown Gaki," a man with long with hair red marks under his eyes. Harry watched as a look of horror came across four of the five Shinobi. Naruko just had a disgusted look on her face as the older man stepped into sight.
"This is really troublesome," Shikamaru said.
"Who is that guy?" Harry asked.
"He is one of the legendary Sannin, one of the strongest Shinobi ever born to Konoha," Kakashi explained.
"And Naruko's old Sensei," Hinata said in a soft voice.
"I always wanted to test my skills against you…but not like this Ero-Sennin," Naruko said trying to smile.
"Who would have ever thought that the load mouth orange loving Gaki would have grown so much…who would have ever thought I would want to lose a fight…but you know, I am not just going to hand the victory to you," Jiraiya said.
"Let's make this interesting, you two can fight and we will stay out if your friends stay out," Kabuto said smirking, "this will be great master against pupil in a battle to the death."
"You are twisted, at the end of this night I will kill you for this," Naruko. Then there was a sudden surge in Naruko chakra, her eyes were orange with red around them.
"You have become a Sage," Jiraiya said smiling.
"I learned from the best," she said then she launched an attack that he dodged the ground shattered under the force of her punch. Naruko was able to block his kick but it still sent her fly, she quickly dodged his neck kick. She saw him making a few hand signs and the ground where she was about to land had begun to change. 'Kage Bunshin No Jutsu,' she landed on top of her clone to avoid the Jiraiya's Jutsu.
"You have gotten a lot better, Gaki," he said as the two stared each other down.
"And you aren't bad for an old dead Ero-Sennin," she said smirking, "but you haven't seen anything yet Sensei."
Then she charged again, Jiraiya did a few more hand signs and his hair surrounded him she barely avoid hitting his needle hair she felt a powerful hand wrap around her wrist then she was slammed on the ground but she was released then she was slammed over and over again. She managed to grab Jiraiya's wrist then reverse break free landing a solid kick to his face. It would have been enough to take out an average opponent but then again there was nothing average about her opponent even without Kabuto's Jutsu bidding him to the world. She watched as he got to her feet she knew that she had to end this quickly. There was a five minute limit with this Jutsu and she could use it one more time but she still had to fight Kabuto and Sasuke. She created another clone.
"I see that your Chakra control hasn't got any better you still need a clone to create your Resengan," Jiraiya said sounding a little disappointed.
"Not quiet this isn't a normal Resengan…it is a Jutsu that you haven't seen yet," she said as the air was full a load whistling, "it is Futon: Rasenshuriken," then she threw it at him. It hit Jiraiya but it was a clone. She frowned looking around for Jiraiya.
"If that Jutsu would have hit I am sure that would have hurt like hell," Jiraiya said she froze when she heard his voice coming from behind her. Tried to jump back but she felt his Resengan hit her in the back. She tried to get up but she saw Jiraiya standing right in front of her, 'Shinra Tensei,' and Jiraiya was blast back. But her Sage Chakra was running low, she had to rip his soul from his body it would be easy if she could get a hand on his head.
"It seems that you have the powers of the Rinnegan," Jiraiya said watching her.
"That isn't all I can do," she said pulling out a kunai and throwing at him Jiraiya dodged it, but realized what she was doing he aimed a kick in the spot that he knew she would appear, she pushed up on his leg to avoid the kick she aimed a kick at his head but he avoid the attack and grabbed her leg in the same movement throwing her away from him.
"I got you," she said smirking vanishing again reaching up for his head. But she had to avoid his next attack, using her father's Jutsu to dodge his Katon Jutsu. She felt the last of her Sage Chakra fade, and she had a choice to make right then use the other clone or fight as she was.
The Wizards all watched in awe having never seen anything like this before, even the Shinobi watched with great interest. It wasn't every day you saw two Shinobi of this caliber going at it. They had to use every ounces of their strength not to help Naruko. They knew things would just get worse if they did because not only would they have to fight Jiraiya but Sasuke and Kabuto both of whom where power Shinobi.
"Ero-Sennin, I love you, you were the closest thing I had to family and that is why I cannot lose to you," Naruko said.
"Harry get back to the castle and take everyone inside I have a feeling things are going to get a lot more intense," Kakashi said then he turned to his other side. "Hinata, Sakura, Shikamaru you three go with him, if Naruko fails to defeat them I will slow these three down while you get them out of here."
"No I will stay my Jutsu is more fitted to delay," Shikamaru said.
"We can leave her here," Hinata said.
"Look… I know how you feel but you have to think of the situation, we are not just facing Jiraiya the one who knows Naruko best… but Sasuke and Kabuto and I am sure they have another trick or two up their selves."
"But…" Hinata said.
"She used up a large amount of her chakra to bring those people back and if they die again it will have been for nothing," Kakashi said his Sharingan.
"If we can get them out of here then can we return to help?" Sakura asked softly.
"I am not leaving," Harry said.
"You and everyone else will just get in our way," Kakashi said.
"We can be more useful than you think," Harry said.
"Fine just get to the castle… and our job is to keep anyone from getting past us," Kakashi said.
Naruko stood with resolve studying the situation, 'Taju Kage Bunshin No Jutsu,' thousands of Naruko appeared all over the place. Then they all attacked Jiraiya, while he was busy trying to dodge all of the clones he didn't notice the clones coming up behind him and latching on to him. A soft smile crossed his face as Naruko grabbed hold of him.
"Goodbye Jiraiya-Sensei," she whispered.
"I couldn't have been more proud of you," he said as he soul was pulled from his body that bound him to this world.
The lightning in the sky was acting strange and a dragon formed in the sky then she looked down to see Sasuke with a Chidori forming in his hand.
"Let's see how you deal with this Naruko," Sasuke said smirking coldly, Sasuke's Kirin was closing in on them. Once again she went to a Jutsu she knew she shouldn't use because of the amount of Chakra needed, 'Shinra Tensei,' she redirected the Jutsu away.
"NARUKO!" she hear it too late as she looked down she felt a all too familiar pain as Sasuke's hand tore thru her chest blood pouring from her mouth, he pulled his hand from her chest then unsheathed his sword as a twisted smile came over his face.
"This time I will make sure you die!"
