Reverting the disclaimer into its original form. Yup, I prefer this. I don't like in bold so much, except when it comes to Zetsu…
And again, I do NOT own Naruto. If I do, you would see a whole lotta changes to the manga/anime we all love. :3
Plus, leave a review!
!
Also, I own Kaitlyn, Vrin(da), Carol and their jutsus. I won't tell you the jutsus to prevent spoiling the story! :D
Kaitlyn's POV
"Of course, I want to fight the little earth ninja, Vrinda. I simply have no patience for you. At first, I thought you might be a great friend compared to Tobi, but apparently that was all just an act." Surprisingly, Deidara didn't put any 'un's and 'yeah's in his sentences. "So who are you gonna fight with, un?" I stand corrected.
No one raised their hands up. "You know, if you don't do it now, there's a chance you gotta go against Itachi, which I am looking forward to. Don't count me in for Deidara," I said, sure to glare at Itachi.
All I got was a "Hn," for an answer.
"Count me out on Deidara too, I want to fight Itachi," Carol said.
The others kept quiet, when Lee exclaimed, "I shall help you."
Vrin looked at the others. "You know, like Kaitlyn said, there is a chance you gotta go against Itachi if you don't fight Deidara."
No one except Kiba answered. "Yeah, but it's still a chance, not definitely."
"Nope, if you don't fight Deidara, I'll force you to fight Itachi, I said, with an evil grin on my face.
"Har-har."
Sigh. He knew me too well. I'd never force my team-mate to fight unnecessarily (A/N:took me a minute and google to spell that out right). But then, I needed everyone I knew to fight against Itachi. I can tell how good he is. That is why I volunteered to help Carol. Fire VS fire, mind-reading VS the Sharingan… (note: Carol has an affinity to fire)
"Anyone else?" Vrin asked.
Neji and Hinata reluctantly stepped forward. "Very well then, let's get this started, un." Deidara said.
"Can Tobi be the referee?" Tobi asked, lightening up the mood. "Or is proctor the better word?"
"I'll go with proctor," Itachi said as Deidara started yelling at him, clearly disagreeing.
Tobi, oblivious to his surroundings, continued talking. "First, I don't want you all to fight here. It's too close to the hideout and you will destroy it. Understood? Good! Second: I will decide where you all will fight. Third: I have decided! You all will fight at that clearing there-" everyone turned to where he was pointing, but saw nothing, "- why don't I just show you."
He led us to a wide, surrounded by trees clearing. Oh goodie; I realised this was good for a certain ninja. You'll know who soon, don't worry. In fact, it looked so much like the forest near the Leaf Village that I couldn't believe we were going to fight for our lives. I knew that in the end, Itachi wouldn't allow Deidara to kill us; but he definitely won't let the others survive. If you don't understand the 'us' part, that's Vrin, Carol and I. I suddenly felt guilty for dragging the others into this mess.
I didn't realise this, but all this time Kiba was judging me by my expression. "You know, it's our choice for going on this mission," he said. "We are here because we sincerely want to help, and if we do die, it's not your fault."
"…" was all I could say. So you can guess, I said nothing.
"Hey, we haven't even started fighting yet," Vrin said, with her usual optimism. "Besides, we have been working on our jutsus, haven't we? You with your wind, Carol with fire and me? Earth. We can definitely beat these guys up."
I smiled, then yelled, because I realised something. "THEY'RE S-RANK CRIMIMNALS, FOR GAWD'S SAKE! WILL YOU STOP ACTING TOO OVER-CONFIDENT?"
"MUST YOU SPOIL EVERY OCCAASION? I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THEM FEEL INSULTED!"
"YEAH? WHAT GOOD WOULD THAT DO?"
Carol sighed, because she knew that when we started arguing, we would be fine.
Deidara was getting impatient by now. "Are we starting, or what?"
Vrin nodded to Lee, Hinata and Neji. "We're ready," they said simultaneously.
Everyone else, minus Tobi, jumped up to the trees to give space for them to fight. "Begin!" Tobi said with a happy tone, which did not fit the situation, and then jumped up to the trees.
They all assumed a fighting stance. Deidara made the first move. He blew up the tree Vrin was standing behind. She rolled out of the just in time. She looked surprised. Lee then charged at Deidara, and then proceeded to use Leaf Hurricane. Deidara just sidestepped, but Neji was there to counterattack. Deidara jumped just in time, avoiding the Gentle Fist technique (I'm sorry, I just don't know the names, if you ask me). Vrin threw shurikens and Deidara just did a backflip to dodge them. He then landed on his feet, unharmed.
"Tch," was all I could say. He was just too good. I was worried wether they could make it or not.
Then Hinata appeared behind Deidara, preparing to perform Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms Guard. The moment her hand touched Deidara, he turned white. I mean, literally turned white. Hinata realised it sooner than I did. She struggled to free herself from Deidara's clay clone, but her efforts were in vain. In fact, she just made it worse. The worst is yet to come: Deidara appeared behind her. He then did a hand sign I did not recognize. "Katsu!" the clone exploded, and sent Hinata literally flying through the air. Luckily, Lee managed to catch her. Her hand was in bad condition; it was bruised and burnt.
"It's a miracle your hand is still intact," Deidara said after a moment. "Now, I'm gonna kill you all, no mercy." He smiled EVILLY. I HATE EVIL SMILES. "Un," he added.
"He's a long range fighter, try to get close!" Vrin shouted somewhere in the distance.
"Impossible," Deidara said. "She's right there, but her voice sounds so-" he got interrupted by a certain kunoichi.
Vrin kicked him in the stomach, making him go back a few feet. "He's real," she said to Lee. That was the cue for him. Actually, the cue for Neji. "Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms!" Neji envisioned an Eight Trigrams circle, then starting hitting Deidara at his pressure points. From my point of view, he seemed to be poking him (hm, Vrin could use a new chopstick move…). Anyways, Deidara got up, but he was staggering quite badly.
"Impressive." That was all Neji said, because usually the opponent wouldn't be able to stand after being hit by the Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms (what a long name).
"My turn," Deidara said, as he created several clay figures out of the mouths on his palms (ewww!). I saw that he made some kind of… animals? Snakes, spiders, birds, insects… the list goes on. Then the snakes went underground. Spiders crawled to the others. The birds flew overhead.
"This does not look good," Vrin said. The ground shook as she said that. Carol almost fell off the tree (yay for not making me fall off). Then came the explosive… eggs. My poor friends managed to avoid every single one of them. The birds swooped down, then exploded when it came close to them. Then the spiders and insects exploded too. Unfortunately, they couldn't avoid every single bird/spider/insects so they were all thrown in different directions. All of them landed on their feet, bruised up but ok, but no one could catch Hinata now…
… And she turned into a log. "Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms Guard!" She was bidding her time, waiting for an opening. Deidara got hit violently in his pressure points yet again, so I doubt he could stand. After that, he stood up again, but staggering even more than before (I stand corrected, as usual). "NOW!" Vrin yelled. "The Gate of Opening, open!" Then Lee proceeded to do the Leaf Hurricane. Deidara, being weak and staggering a lot, got hit by it, of course. In a normal situation, if I didn't know him, I'd say, "Poor guy," but in this case? "He deserved it."
But the match wasn't quite over… yet. After getting hit by the hurricane, he stood yet again. "My turn! And this outta teach you not to be too persistent with us anymore!" Vrin said. "HUNDRED SWORDS OF VRINDA!" I almost coughed at the name. well, I did, but it was fake, then I coughted for real… enough of that. You wanna know how Vrin did that? First, she concentrates a small amount of chakra at the tip of the index and middle finger(s). She then proceeds to POKE the opponent 100 times, as the name suggests. It's actually a stronger version of Chopsticks, as Chopsticks doesn't require any chakra and she only pokes 15 times (actually, it's more of a done-for-fun jutsu, as she always pokes me whenever I irritate her).
Deidara STOOD UP YET AGAIN. I'm tired of saying that. How can he have that much… wait, what's required for that standing up thing he does? Oh yeah! Stamina! I mean, he was hit by Eight Trigrams, Sixty-four Palms, Eight Trigrams, Sixty-four Palms Guard, Leaf Hurricane while Lee opened the first chakra gate and the Hundred Swords of Vrinda!
"Let me handle this. I doubt, seriously doubt, you can stand after this," Vrin said. Deidara couldn't do anything, except for a bit of "hm," "whatever" and "huh".
Vrin did a hand seal I recognized as a snake. This meant that she was gonna do Earth Style. In fact, this was her kekkei genkai. You see, the reason I brought Carol and Vrin along with me to konoha was because they also had been granted some power. This is also why they are immune of their own ninjutsu. Actually, they were immune to all ninjutsu of their nature type (Vrin being immune to Earth Style, Carol being immune to Fire Style).
"Earth Style: Tree Binding Jutsu!" This is similar to Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death, but this jutsu was a ninjutsu, not a genjutsu. The user doesn't attack; the tree binds the opponent REAL TIGHTLY (A/N: see http: /Naruto .wikia. com/ wiki /Demonic _Illusion: _Tree _Binding_ Death for info on the genjutsu) and is capable of breaking the bones of the opponent.
"So, you gonna surrender, or what?" Vrin asked in a mocking tone. "Or else I shall break your bones, mainly your ribs and arms. Do you want that?"
"Never, un…" Deidara gasped, as the bonds that was binding him to the tree became tighter, causing him to gasp for air. The bonds tightened, and tightened, and tightened and SNAP! His bones broke. His ribs and arms, to be precise.
Tobi jumped down from the trees. "The winner, or winners, is, I mean are, Vrinda, Lee, Hinata and Neji! YAY! I mean, NOOOOO!" he started waving his arms around frantically. "And next, it's Itachi VS Carol, Kaitlyn and… Kiba wants to join? Very well."
We all jumped down from the trees, and we faced each other. Then suddenly, a maroon flash was to be seen.
See, I got a chapter in 2 days! That's gotta be a record! Or maybe not… hope you enjoy! This is to make up for the days I didn't update… :D
