"Why have I been summoned here? Are you in trouble, young Bara?" The beast asked in a low yet gentle voice. "I have summoned you, Arashi no kokoro, to help us protect the amulet of Kaisetsu. I have summoned you because you are the true guardian of the amulet."
Now:
Chapter 6: Arashi no kokoro
The beast growled at Buredo and Kenonai, his white fangs gleaming in the faint light. "What… what is that?" Kenonai staggered backwards a few feet. "I am Arashi no kokoro, leader of the Gekko wolf pack and protector of the bearer of the mark." He answered, his voice a low growl. His mouth didn't move as he spoke and the voice seemed to be telepathic. Bara smiled as she jumped lightly onto Arashi's back. She sat down at the bases of his necks and put her arms around both of his heads, hugging him tightly. "I missed you." She said to him in a whisper voice. "I missed you two, young Bara." Replied the majestic wolf.
"How sweet, now we can kill her puppy as well." Buredo mocked with a grin. Naruto gave him a mocking grin right back. "Oh yeah? I don't think so. Multi shadow clone jutsu!" He yelled as he finished the hand signs. While the men had been distracted by the appearance of Arashi, he had taken the opportunity to build up a lot of chakra. The result was that there was now at least fifty more of him standing in the water or in the trees above their heads. But the man didn't lose his cocky expression. "You think a few shadow clones are going to help you? All that you could possibly achieve through this it to delay you certain death." He said with a chuckle. "You're very confident…" "… for a guy who is completely outnumbered." Called two of the boys from different places in the crowd. "That doesn't matter. It won't take long for me to poke holes in your friends in till only the real you is left." As he spoke he put his hands together. "Ice crystal forest!" The water underneath some of the boys shot up as they froze into deadly spikes. Almost a third of the clones were destroyed on the spot, but before the smoke cleared five others shot through the air heading straight for Buredo.
Arashi leaped forward, his right front paw moving effortlessly through the air. His paw was about to connect whit Kenonai's chest when the bold headed man suddenly moved the water around him, making a circular shield around him as the water froze. "Look out!" Bara jelled as ice spikes grew all over the shield's surface. Arashi managed to evade the spikes just in time as one or two pricked his skin. Meanwhile; Buredo was slicing Naruto's clones with a water whip. The water followed his every command as he moved his arms graciously as if he was doing some sort of dance. The amount of clones became less with every passing minute. Some of them jumped at him again, this time blocking most of his attack with their arms. Though most of them were destroyed, two managed to get through and kick him hard in the abdomen. As he stepped back Kenonai widened the shield, melting a small "doorway" in the ice and allowing his injured friend to enter before it hardened again.
"Why are you hiding in a shell? Come on out here and fight!" Yelled a Naruto, one of the few left, from a nearby tree. Soon after that large ice spikes shot from the tree's wet branch, reducing the Naruto to smoke. "They are clever." Came the low gentle voice of Arashi. "Huh? What do you mean?" Naruto, or a clone, asked in confusion. "One maintains the shield while the other directs attacks on the outside. That way they can attack and defend at the same time." The large wolf explained. "Can you think of any way to get through their shield?" Bara asked, but before Arashi could answer they had to dodge yet another cluster of spikes that was forged out of the water they were standing in. "No I can not." The wolf said as he landed gently in the water. "Well then, let's see if we can break it open." A Naruto said as he jumped straight towards the spiky ball. He readied himself to kick a smooth spot on its surface, but before he could there shot two more spikes out of the ball, sticking into his leg. As he slightly flinched with the pain everybody expected him to disappear in a puff of smoke, but he didn't. Instead he fell back into the water and the rest of the clones exploded in small puffs. Bara gasped in shock. "Naruto!" Her voice was filled with worry. They heard a faint laughter come from within the ice shield. "One down, two to go!" The voice of Buredo could be heard from within the shield. "Foolish boy. He actually attacked the shield straight on." Arashi said in a low growl.
Inside the shield Buredo was laughing silently to himself. Now that the kid was out of the way, he could finish off the girl and get it all over with. His laughter was interrupted though as the water started swirling beneath him. "What the?" He muttered. His eyes widened as a light blue sphere rapidly approached the surface. It shot out of the water, followed by Naruto who was holding it in his hand, and hit the man in the stomach. When Naruto had fallen into the water earlier he deliberately made most of his clones disappear, save one. While Buredo and Kenonai had been concentrating on the others he used the clone to complete the rasengan and swam into their shield through the water below. The impact of the rasengan sent Buredo flying, hitting a hole in the shield. Naruto caught his breath, relieved to be out of the water. As he turned to face Kenonai he felt two icy hands suddenly grip his neck. The man lifted him in to the air with a burst of near supper-human strength, keeping him at a distance where he couldn't punch or kick him. Naruto could feel it getting harder and harder to breath as the man tightened his grip. "I will kill you." Kenonai said with a hateful voice. "I will kill you and all your friends." The leaf that was still tied to Naruto's arm slipped off as he scratched at the man's hands and arms. He could see the ice melting rapidly around them as the man was no longer fusing it with chakra. "End of the line" Kenonai said with an evil smile as he watched the young boy's face turn a strange shade of blue. However, that smile was literally knocked off his face as Arashi hit him with his large paw through the now thin layer of ice. Naruto gasped for air as the man released his grip, dropping the boy into the water. The impact from the blow was enough to leave Kenonai unconscious.
The shield structure collapsed, allowing Naruto to see Buredo's body hanging over the branch of a tree. Bara jumped down from Arashi's back, helping Naruto to his feet. "Thanks." He said, taking another gulp of fresh air. "No problem." She said with a smile as they both climbed onto Arashi's back. "Arashi, do you think you can take us to "Gake no aki" mountain?" She asked as she slowly stroked one of his necks. "Yes I believe I can." The wolf answered with a bark-like sound. Holding on to his back, they sped off. Arashi moved swiftly and graciously as he leaped up the trees and from branch to branch. Another sudden pain shot up Naruto's arm. The build up of chakra he needed for the rasengan was taking its toll. Slowly lifting his arm he stared at it in disbelieve. His arm had turned a slight shade of mid purple.
Sorry if this chapter isn't so great, I didn't have a lot of time to spend on it. Other than that I would like to inform all followers that chances are there won't be another chapter published next weekend and that chapter 7 would be published in two weeks time.
