Immediately as the call to fight was given, Neji immediately closed the distance between him and Naruto. The blonde had been talking for too long and Neji wanted to watch him fall to the floor. Sai decided to be Neji's support and backed up to create a safe distance between himself and the two Kumo shinobi.
Naruto and Karui grinned at the final start and quickly got into their plan. Naruto dashed forward willing to take Neji head on making someone the gasp at the blonde's stupidity.
"He wants to take the Hyuuga on in a straight taijutsu fight? He can't be the son of the Yondaime. Eve he wouldn't be that stupid," someone said making others nod with him. They all didn't know anything. They didn't know what Naruto could do, but they would know after today.
Neji tried to hit Naruto with a palm strike, but the blonde maneuvered around it and and aimed drew his sword to attack Neji's side. The Hyuuga backed up narrowly escaped the steel of Naruto's sword, but he immediately turned around to see Karui smiling as she tried to slash at him with her own sword. Neji blocked her with a kunai and used a counter defense form to parry her blow and sent her off balance. Karui cursed and backed away while Naruto's sword clashed with Neji's kunai.
"Well at least I know you can handle yourself," Naruto said as Neji scowled. He quickly pushed Naruto off him and gritted his teeth.
"I don't need to be told that by you. You damn people are so greedy. Taking power that's not even yours. It's crap like that that destroys families," Neji said making Naruto narrow his eyes. Karui narrowed her own and wondered what the Hyuuga's problem was.
"Well Raikage-dono it seems that the Hyuuga really do hate you and your village," the Kazekage said to him. A sighed and folded his arms.
"Not one of my proudest moments I'll admit," A said and Sarutobi simply sat back and watched the fight unfold.
"We all make mistakes everyday. The best thing we can do is learn from them," Sarutobi said making the Kazekage and Raikage nod in agreement with him.
Meanwhile, Naruto had finally managed a kick to Neji's stomach making the Hyuuga skid back in pain. He gripped his side and glared at Naruto who was smirking. The blonde dared Neji to attack him and Neji wasn't going to deny Naruto that dare. Neji tried to attack Naruto multiple times, but the blonde was evading his attacks with a new evasiveness that Neji hadn't noticed. To Naruto it was obvious though. The hate, the anger and the bitterness. It was all messing with Neji's form and his abilities. Naruto knew from what he remembered of Neji in his first few encounters where that the Hyuuga was calm and collected at times and right now he was sloppy.
"Come on Hyuuga, you can fight better than that can't you," Naruto said making Neji grit his teeth. Meanwhile and unknown to him, Sai was busy fending off Karui who slithered her way over to him barely detected. Karui kept Sai at a close distance and didn't give him the opportunity to draw like she had seen in the preliminaries against Chouji. Sai could only block Karui's attacks with the small sword on his back.
Karui struck fast and hard to knock Sai off balance and due to him being a long range fighter and not a full close combat fighter, it was tough.
"Stop dodging like a coward and fight me!" Neji yelled and Naruto narrowed his eyes. This guy was really blind-sighted to Naruto's strategy. The blonde went through his handsigns and quickly the wind began to blow.
"Fuuton: Daitoppa," Naruto yelled and a strong blast of air shot at Neji sending the genin Hyuuga into the Chunin stadium wall. Naruto grinned when he used his wind jutsu. He did remember that he used it back in Kumo when he was a kid so maybe he had at least one Fuuton jutsu that he remembered now, but it wasn't meant for the battle type that he, Karui, Omoi, and Samui would need so it was quickly forgotten until now.
Neji cursed and emerged from the building. He dropped to the ground and sweated. He was too angry and unfocused. Neji huffed hard and slammed the ground with his fist.
"Damn Kumo shinobi," Neji said and then looked up. He saw Sai fighting Karui and losing at it badly. Neji turned to see Naruto coming at him and sighed. He was so stupid. He had lost his cool and it was costing them the fight. Neji let his anger get ahead of him and tried to take on Naruto and Karui alone, but now Sai was paying for it. Neji sighed as he got to his feet. He closed his eyes and Naruto stopped running. The blonde grinned and put his swords away. He then dropped into a high Chunin stance that he learned from Jiraiya.
"Byakugan," Neji yelled and his clan's dojutsu quickly made itself known. Everyone cheered for Neji and Sai. The match would finally be worth watching now that Neji's head was in the game.
"Good, he's calmed down now. Hopefully he'll be able to recover from what he's lost," an older looking Neji said. He was Hiashi, the clan head of the Hyuuga clan.
"So I take it, your ready to fight me?" Naruto said and Neji frowned at him.
"That's right. I won't hold back anymore," Neji said and added chakra to his feet. He dashed at Naruto with an intent to kill or so it seemed. In a swift movement, he passed Naruto and ran to Sai's aid. Naruto widened his eyes and reached into his pouch. He pulled out one of his father's kunai and looked at it.
"Tou-san if this is fake, I hope Kaa-san hits you," Naruto said to himself and threw the kunai at Neji. Having the Byakugan, the Hyuuga ducked under the kunai and grinned, but he didn't count on the sudden hit across his jaw that sent the Hyuuga flying. Karui and Sai stopped their fight when they heard the collective gasps from the entire stadium at Naruto's use of the Hiraishin that his father made. Neji was sent flying across the field while Karui growled.
"No way is Otouto gonna show me up in front of everyone," Karui said and jumped back. Sai quickly rebounded and took out a scroll. He quickly took his ink pen and drew painted animals across it. Soon a giant paint bird came out of the scroll and Sai launched it at Karui. The redheaded Kumo genin quickly dodged the bird and aimed for it's wielder. Karui went through her own handsigns and quickly her sword cackled.
"Raiton: Seitekina Kami( Lightning Release: Divine Static Wave)," Karui yelled out as she switched the current from her sword to her hands. Karui grinned and sent the current at Sai shocking the Konoha shinobi. Sai couldn't dodge it in time as he felt the volts of electricity that immobilized his body. It was then that Karui in a flash of speed aimed her sword at Sai's neck and held it there.
"Wanna give up now?" Karui asked and Sai narrowed his eyes.
Meanwhile, Naruto and Neji were fending each other off. Neji had to curse that he couldn't track Naruto's movements completely because of the Hiraishin, but he knew that the blonde would make his move soon and he would be ready for it with his ultimate defense. Naruto kicked Neji to the side, but the Hyuuga saw it coming and lessened the impact by blocking it with his hands.
"Yeah that's the way Neji. Now I'm gonna pick it up," Naruto said and held out both his hands. In both hands were two rasengans and Naruto turned to Neji. This little trick was something he and Jiraiya found out together through the training. It was then that everyone in the stands noticed the two balls and some people gave their comments.
"What's Naruto gonna do? He shouldn't get too close to Neji right?" Sakura asked. Everyone didn't have a response cause they were too focused on Naruto and the fight between.
"Naruto I don't know what your planning, but it won't work on Neji. He's got an absolute defense that's unbreakable. I'm surprised you've lasted this long," Tenten thought with a grin. Meanwhile Omoi and Samui could only hope that what Naruto had planned would be good.
"Come on Otouto, show me how you've grown in the month," Samui said in thought. Gaara and his siblings were watching the match also. It was obvious that Gaara was interested in Naruto a lot if his grinning was anything to go by.
"So what does everyone think of Naruto-kun and Karui?" Sarutobi asked them. A and the disguised Orochimaru nodded in agreement and gave their remarks.
"Their both impressive. It certainly is a shame that the Uzumaki isn't with Konoha anymore," The Kazekage said making Sarutobi and A narrow their eyes. They had never told anyone that, but each other. Information like that was to be top secret. Yeah they hinted that Naruto belonged to Kumo, but even so that wasn't the point.
"In my book those two have earned the Chunin rank, but it's too early to tell," A said making Sarutobi nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Naruto held the two rasengans in his hand and immediately a new sound was graced to them. The sound of intense cackling. Naruto warped the rasengans shape and allowed it expand and compress. Kakashi widened his eyes when he saw Naruto fusing his raiton chakra with the Rasengan. It was always something the jonin wanted to do, but he could never get it right. Naruto looked up at Neji and smiled.
"It's an experimental rasengan. Tell me if you like it," Naruto said and ran at Neji. The Hyuuga widened his eyes, but then grinned. He slowly pivoted his foot and began to spin making most of the Hyuuga members gasp.
"That's the-," a Hyuuga began, but didn't finish. Naruto neared Neji and launched his new rasengan forward.
"Rasenrairengan( Spiraling Thunder Sphere Barrage)," Naruto yelled and Neji spun in a full turn.
"Kaiten," Neji yelled and immediately the two techniques collied making a huge explosion as the dust picked up around the area. People shielded their eyes from the amount of wind and dust while others who could handle it were surprised.
"He really is your son Minato," Kakashi thought with a grin.
"What was that!" Sasuke, Sakura, and Ino wondered at the same time. Meanwhile Karui, Omoi, and Samui could only chuckle in small shock of their friend and little brother. Even Yugito and Bee had something to say.
"Mmm that jutsu is something else. Did you see that explosion? And to think that it's not even complete yet," Nibi said and Yugito nodded.
"Lil nin knows how to put on a good show. Now it's that Hyuuga he is gonna throw," Bee rapped making Yugito and multiple people sweatdrop. No one had any idea what he was talking about.
"Soon the dust settled and everyone was eager to see the result. Karui still had Sai in a submissive hold while they both waited for Naruto to emerge.
"Otouto, are you alright?" Karui asked in a casual fashion. It didn't take long for someone to emerge from the dust and sure enough, it was Naruto with a knocked out Neji on his shoulder.
"Yeah Nee-chan I'm alright. Though if you don't mind, please catch me," Naruto said as he fell to the ground and passed out from the sheer exhaustion of using the Hiraishin and his new chakra consuming rasengan. He would have to work on that later.
Karui sighed and turned back to Sai and pointed her blade at him making a small cut at his neck.
"So do you give up?" She asked and Sai nodded with a emotionless smile. Genma came up tot the four and sighed.
"The winners are Karui of Kumo and Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze," Genma said and as expected of the cheers, it was mostly from all Kumo shinobi and civilians who attended the chunin exams. Sai went and grabbed Neji while Karui grabbed her little brother.
"That was a good fight I guess. I'm surprised that your dickless brother is our Yondaime's son, he must be a sad person indeed," Sai said and immediately Karui dropped Naruto and snickered silently while Genma backed up a bit as he seemed the be whistling. Sai turned around and immediately he was slammed in the face sending him flying into the stands. Karui gritted her teeth and stomped the ground in a frantic matter.
"I should kill you right now asshole, Maybe I should cut off your dick how do you like that!" Karui yelled and immediately all the guys in the crowd started to cover their manhoods for dear life while most of the women sweatdropped.
"She's gonna be a handful when she gets older," Sarutobi said and A sighed knowing that what Sarutobi said was true.
"Alright onto the next fight. Shino Aburame and Sabaku no Gaara vs Omoi of Kumo and Tenten Higurashi," Genma called out. Omoi turned to Tenten who patted him on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up. Shino sighed and turned to Gaara who had an grin on his face like he was ready to spill everyone's blood across the fields.
"Proctor, it would be illogical for me to fight with this person. I withdraw from this fight," Shino said making a few murmurs present. Shino had no shame in it. He knew that if Gaara was his partner or enemy he would most likely end up dead so he opted for the logical choice and to wait next year. He didn't think he was ready to be a chunin anyway. Genma sighed and looked at the ground.
"Due to Shino's withdrawal, the fight will now be a three way fight between Omoi of Kumo, Tenten Higurashi, and Sabaku no Gaara," Genma said making Tenten have a face of glee. Omoi sighed and Gaara's weird face never left for a second. He quickly used his sand in a shunshin and appeared onto the field. Omoi jumped off the railing and appeared on the field also. Tenten jumped off after him and all three appeared across from each other in a triangle.
"Yosha Tenten, show them how mighty your flames of youth are!" Gai yelled making Tenten sigh as she wanted to run home and bury herself inside her pillow. Omoi chuckled at her and Tenten glared, but then his turn came.
"Omoi if you lose I'm kickin' your ass all the way back to Kumo!" Karui yelled and Omoi sighed. Why was he always the one getting threatened? Did he do something to Karui in another life or something?
"So Kazekage tell me, how strong do you think your son is?" A asked and the Kazekage smiled and chuckled.
"He might just dominate the entire Chunin exams. I think at best Naruto-kun right there might give him a challenge, but ultimately Gaara would win," The fake Kazekage said making A smile along with Sarutobi.
"Don't think lightly of Kumo," A said to him.
"Same goes for Konoha," Sarutobi responded making the Kazekage laugh at his two fellow Kage.
"I don't think lightly of Kumo or Konoha. I'm just stating things how I see them. Gaara's always been the most unique child. His mother told me that herself," Kazekage said and immediately A and Sarutobi tensed. Now their assumptions were right. This wasn't the Kazekage. Intel shared by both Kumo and Konoha had showed that Gaara lived a very horrible lifestyle. As expected of a jinchuuriki. Not to mention that a found out and told Sarutobi that the Kazekage had neglected Gaara in his early life and is mother died while the boy was being born so this made this Kazekage even more suspicious, but they didn't move yet. If they were going to move they would try to do it after they saw everyone compete to be fair to the other genin. All the kage turned their attention back the center to see Genma looking at the three genin.
"Alright the next fight is underway. Begin!" Genma yelled and jumped back. Omoi and Tenten jumped back, but to them it was weird that Gaara hadn't moved one inch from his spot. He just looked at the two in sheer boredom. Omoi and Tenten glanced at each other then back at Gaara. Each one was waiting for someone to start the fight well rather Tenten was anyway. Omoi didn't really care and neither did Gaara. The silence ensued for about a good five minutes with no one moving an inch. Samui and Karui watched and wondered what Omoi could be thinking at this time while Naruto seemed to be watching out for Gaara.
"What's Tenten doing? She should be fighting right now," Ino said, but then Shikamaru decided to answer the 'troublesome' question.
"Troublesome woman, don't you know this is about who throws the first strike? Their all sizing each other up. Personally if I was there, I would be just like that too," Shikamaru said making Ino raise an eyebrow.
"Yugi-chan, you know about that fool with da red hair," Bee said and Yugito narrowed her eyes and nodded.
"Yeah, Nibi said that Shukaku is in him. He's a jinchuuriki also, but unlike us he looks to be on the brink of insanity. We should watch him," Yugito said and Bee nodded in agreement before taking out a small book and started writing in it while Yugito sighed at her fellow jinchuuriki's actions.
Meanwhile, the silence was still the most dominate thing on the field, but everyone felt tense. This silence was like a string being pulled to its limits. It didn't matter how long they stayed like that, but that string would break and all hell and confusion would come out. Even the slightest movement or sound could set the three off.
Genma allowed a drop of sweat to leave his brow. They were all genin, but they were staring and watching each other's movements like they were straight chunin. Even if they didn't fight, they were on their way to being ideal Chunin material.
Omoi sucked on his lollipop for a little longer and rolled it in his tongue. He turned to Tenten and then back to Gaara.
"This isn't good. Who's gonna move first? Should I move? Am I gonna die if I move? Dammit, I should've quit when I had the chance," Omoi thought, but then silently sighed. He really didn't want to and the questions in his head said no, but he supposed he would have to get the ball rolling. Omoi silently grabbed his sword and looked at Tenten then Gaara one more time. He narrowed his eyes and glared at Gaara. He's been trained by Bee for a month, he could tell Gaara was the most dangerous so that guy would be taken down first and then if things went alright then he would take care of the Weapons Mistress over there.
"Here I go," Omoi said and in a blur of speed he immediately appeared behind Gaara. Tenten widened her eyes at the sudden movement as Omoi brought his sword down over Gaara's head, but it was immediately met with sand as a defense and parried his blow. Omoi widened his eyes and jumped back while Tenten threw a kunai at Gaara only for it to be caught also. Apparently she was thinking the same thing as she figured that Gaara was also the most dangerous.
"That's it, both of you come at me at once. I'll kill you both! Let me feel your blood!" Gaara yelled going manic making Tenten and Omoi gulp before thinking at the same time.
"What's this guy's problem?" They thought and immediately the two decided to give Gaara his wish and double teamed him. Omoi slashed at Gaara only to be met with sand while Tenten tried different shinobi tools, but she wasn't getting anywhere either.
"Not enough. It's not enough. IT NEEDS MORE!" Gaara yelled making the entire stadium of people shake in fear while his sand violently swirled around him. Omoi and Tenten backed away from Gaara and turned to each other.
"Any plan of action?" Tenten asked and Omoi shook his head in a negative.
"Not that I have at the moment. I can only hope that his sand is earth-based which it should be so it should be weak to water and lighting," Omoi said and Tenten nodded. She knew about the weaknesses to each element and the strengths so Omoi was making a good point.
"But I don't know any suiton or raiton techniques," Tenten said wondering if she should look into a jutsu library when this was all over. Omoi grinned and nodded.
"I have raiton techniques, so it's fine. For now, we'll just hit him with all we've got. Your not gonna betray me are you?" Omoi asked. Tenten chuckled and twirled a kunai.
"I don't know. It is a free for all," Tenten said and Omoi sweatdropped. He made it a note to watch out for Tenten, but that was another issue.
Omoi charged at Gaara and slashed forward, but Gaara's sand caught Omoi's sword while the Kumo genin gritted his teeth and the sand user. It was then that Omoi backflipped and immediately twelve kunai shot past him from Tenten and shot at Gaara, but it didn't connect as the sand made a clone of Gaara and grabbed every kunai. Omoi focused chakra to his feet and dashed at Gaara in an extreme speed. Gaara grinned and sent his and forward sending a wave of sand at the Kumo genin. Omoi dodged the sand got within Gaara's personal space. He lunged forward with his sword and Gaara just waited for his sand to block, but he missed the small grin on Omoi's face as he vanished which shocked everyone. Omoi appeared behind Gaara making the sand user scowl. He then saw a small string of thread and traced it back to Tenten. Kankuro widened his eyes at the use of the ancient puppet strings technique that he used.
"Alright I got it to work. If its the same as me controlling my weapons like I do then this should be easy," Tenten said with a grin. She was by no means an expert when it came to controlling anything other than weapons with chakra strings, but if Omoi said it was the same principle then she would try it.
"Well that's surprising. I never thought I'd see someone who could use chakra strings like my son," the Kazekage said while Sarutobi gleamed. He didn't know Tenten was capable of it either, but it was definitely a good sign.
"When did Tenten learn to do that?' Lee wondered before Gai patted his shoulder while his teeth gleamed with a thumbs up.
"Nothing impossible as long as you have the flame of youth!" Gai yelled and Lee cried anime tears with a nod.
"AHHH you are right Gai-sensei! Tenten's flames of youth will shine most brightly," Lee said and Gai quickly nodded. Everyone sighed and turned back to the match since it definitely got interesting.
"Hmm that's cool. I've never seen a puppet technique before. Her chakra control must be excellent," Samui said and Karui nodded while cheering for Omoi and Tenten.
Tenten flung her hand back and drew Omoi to her. Omoi gripped his sword and turned to Tenten who was grinning like mad.
"Try not to kill me," Omoi said and Tenten waved it off before turning back to Gaara, who still had his emotionless face, but it was quickly leaving and was being replaced by an insane grin.
"I wouldn't dream of it," Tenten said and immediately she dashed forward along with Omoi. The puppet-master duo quickly lessened the distance between them and Gaara. Tenten unsealed twelve burst kunai from her scroll and held them in her hands. Omoi came up to Gaara and was ready to strike the redhead down making Gaara pull up his sand in defense, but Tenten wasn't having that and with his hand she pulled Omoi back and threw her kunai forward. She carefully maneuvered Omoi through the kunai and immediately after that Omoi jumped into the air and Gaara saw it, but his attention was divided by the kunai as they embedded themselves into his sand. Gaara widened his eyes when he saw the tag light up and tried to block, but the explosion shot up in his face making a loud explosion.
Temari and Kankuro widened their eyes to see Gaara get pushed back this much, but it wasn't over as Tenten, with her chakra strings, slammed them on the ground.
"Don't miss Omoi!" Tenten yelled and immediately everyone looked up to see Omoi coming down fast with his sword in his hands and what surprised them was when they saw his sword completely covered in raiton chakra.
"Worry about yourself instead of me!" Omoi yelled and shot at Gaara, but the slightly injured jinchuuriki tried to maneuver his sand to block it, but he widened his eyes when Omoi's sword managed to slice through the sand in a swift motion and slammed into Gaara making another loud crash. Tenten sighed and walked over to see Omoi with his sword edged in Gaara's right shoulder. It was bleeding quite a bit while Gaara widened his eyes. Omoi huffed and held his position tight into Gaara's shoulder.
"Well that was good and all, but looks like you need to give up," Tenten said to Gaara. The Ichibi jinchuuriki looked at the two and then at his wound.
"blood...my blood. AHHHHH! IT'S MY BLOOD!" Gaara yelled out and immediately Omoi and Tenten backed away from him. Yugito, Bee and Naruto narrowed their eyes and before long Gaara stared at the two genin and both backed away from him.
"That can't be good," Samui said and immediately an explosion sounded making everyone gasp. Tenten and Omoi widened their eyes since the explosion came from the platform. Temari and Kankuro quickly appeared next to Gaara and grabbed him.
"Hey you can't be here!" Tenten yelled and before they could respond soon the entire stadium was in an uproar. Suna and Oto shinobi raided the place and quickly Kumo and Konoha shinobi took action. The sounds of metal clashed in the area while Tenten widened her eyes. Omoi was stunned also. This was an invasion.
"We gotta get down there!" Naruto yelled as he jumped off the railing. Samui and Karui nodded as they followed their surrogate little brother towards the field. Meanwhile Kin grinned and was about to go, but then Shino stopped her.
"I figured you had something to do with this," Shino said and immediately Kin cursed her luck. She quickly threw a senbon at Shino, but the bug user blocked it. The two immediately started to fight inside the stadium just like everyone else.
Meanwhile, inside a purplish dome protected by four people, Orochimaru, A, and Sarutobi were all inside the dome together. Sarutobi and A gritted their teeth while looking at the snake sannin.
"Well it looks like we were right Sarutobi. Now I get to have some entertainment," A said and Sarutobi took off his Hokage robes and immediately a battle armor was in it's place.
"Orochimaru, it must be fate that I met you here. Now I will correct my mistake and bury you here today," Sarutobi said, but Orochimaru wasn't listening or rather he was worried about something else.
"Who the hell told them to attack? I told them to fall back immediately," Orochimaru said to him, but he then sighed and turned back to Sarutobi and A.
"Sorry you two, but my plans are interrupted. I don't have the time to deal with the both of you," Orochimaru said, but immediately A dashed for him and slammed his neck with his forearm.
"Don't get cocky. Your not going anywhere you slithery bastard," A said and Orochimaru chuckled. Fine, he could humor them for a bit before he left. The sannin opened his mouth and a sword came out and held it in his hands. Orochimaru swung at A, but the Raikage was too fast and backed away with more than enough time to spare.
"Well then I'll fight for a bit, but let's even the odds. Edo Tensei," Orochimaru yelled and immediately two coffins showed up that said 'First' and 'Second'. Sarutobi and A widened their eyes, but they also saw another coming and both tensed.
"Not that one!" Sarutobi said and immediately A dashed forward again and with all his strength he smashed the coffin in two breaking whatever was inside of it. Orochimaru cursed, but quickly forgot about it and turned to the two Kage. The coffins opened up and revealed the Shodaime, Hashirama Senju, and Nidaime, Tobirama Senju, of Konoha.
"Orochimaru, up to no good as usual huh? Such a disgrace to resurrect the dead," Hashirama told him and the two resurrected Kage turned to see Sarutobi and A then raised their eyebrows.
"Sarutobi and a Kumo Raikage. It's good to see you Sarutobi. I didn't think we'd have a relationship with Kumo," Tobirama said while Sarutobi seethed and turned to Orochimaru in disgust.
"Orochimaru, you dare disrespect the dead for your own selfish gains! How low you've fallen," Sarutobi said and Orochimaru chuckled.
"Oh come now sensei. It's quite easy to do something like this," Orochimaru said and immediately backed away.
"Get them for me my puppets," Orochimaru said and immediately Hashirama and Tobirama turned to Sarutobi and A.
"Sorry Sarutobi, but we have to do this," Tobirama said and Sarutobi summoned his staff.
"Then I will return your souls to rest once more," Sarutobi said and A cracked his knuckles. This was starting to get good.
With Naruto, Omoi, Karui and Samui
The four Kumo genin were currently tailing Gaara and his siblings. They had left the Chunin stadium a few minutes ago once they received that mission from Bee. The Kumo jonin had decided to stay there and help fight, but Yugito went with them on the off chance that something went wrong. Naruto might have been a jinchuuriki, but he couldn't control Kyuubi like Yugito could with Nibi.
"Hey, you can't control me! I'm uncontrollable," Nibi said with a laugh. Yugito sighed with a simple nod as she followed Naruto and the others.
"I can see them. I'm going a bit ahead to slow them down," Naruto said to them. Karui, Omoi and Samui nodded and watched Naruto use the Hiraishin to catch up to their enemies.
Naruto appeared right next to Temari which surprised the hell out of the wind user and her brother. Naruto grinned as he saw Temari reach for her fan. Naruto chuckled and slapped Temari's back and Kankuro's shoulder before he backflipped away from them.
"What did you do that for?" Temari asked and Naruto shrugged his shoulders with his grin never leaving his face. Kankuro narrowed his eyes and turned to Temari.
"Take Gaara. I'll take care of this blonde idiot," the puppet user said to her. Temari narrowed her eyes at him, but the glare Kankuro gave her made Temari sigh as she grabbed Gaara and shot off leaving Naruto and Kankuro behind.
"Well brat it's time for your final lesson. I'm gonna pay you back for what you did a month ago," Kankuro said and Naruto grinned before taking out his swords and pointing one at Kankuro.
"Sorry, but I'm not staying here. I'm just stalling so some other people can catch up," Naruto said and immediately Kankuro dodged two blade strikes and turned to see Samui and Karui behind him. Yugito was behind them also, but Naruto didn't see Omoi.
"Hey where's Omoi?" Naruto asked as Samui and Karui stood in front of him.
"He stayed behind to take care of some Oto shinobi who got in our way. We would've been here sooner. So I take it the blonde took the other guy with her?" Karui asked and Naruto nodded. Kankuro summoned his puppet to his aid.
"Don't think any of you are getting past me. Your village is gonna fall today!" Kankuro yelled and Naruto grinned.
"Girls can you hold him off?" Naruto asked. Samui and Karui turned to their brother and nodded immediately. Samui hadn't gotten the chance to fight yet so she was itching for one even if she didn't show it.
"Go on Naruto-kun. We've got this guy and we'll regroup with you and Yugito-sensei," Karui said to the. Naruto and Yugito nodded and the blonde wrapped his arms around the older blonde.
"Umm Naruto-kun, not that I don't enjoy the contact, but why are you hugging me?" Yugito asked and Naruto blushed. He noticed the off stares of Samui, Karui and Kankuro.
"Oh its not what it looks like. It's just that this is umm," Naruto said while Kyuubi and Nibi blushed.
"Naruto-kun is so straightforward. He really is a man," The two bijuu thought together. Naruto sighed and simply grabbed Yugito then the two disappeared into the Hiraishin making Kankuro gasp. Samui and Karui grinned before turning back to the puppet user.
"Well now that that's over we can deal with you and just so you know. We don't know how to hold back!" Samui said and the two girls dashed at Kankuro.
With Naruto and Yugito
Temari and Gaara ran through the trees to give the sand user time to rest. They had put a bit of distance between Naruto and his friends. She could only hope that Kankuro would give them the time they needed, but Temari didn't expect Naruto to instantly appear in front of her along with Yugito in his arms. The blonde quickly separated Temari from Gaara in the shock and grinned.
"Wasn't that fun Yugito-chan?" Naruto asked. Yugito dropped to the ground and shivered. So that's what it was like to be inside an S-rank jutsu. It was thrilling even if it was short. Yugito stood to her feet and nodded while Naruto turned to Temari.
"Sorry, but whatever you've got for Konoha it's going to fail and I'm gonna make sure of it," Naruto said to her. Temari narrowed her eyes at the blonde and his other blonde companion before they were interrupted by someone.
"Step off Kumo. I'll take it from here. This is Konoha's problem not yours," Sasuke said making Naruto sigh. Now wasn't the time for this. Right behind him was Sakura and Sai.
"That's right, why don't you guys get out of here now," Sakura said and Naruto rubbed the bridge of his nose. Yugito turned to them and on her forehead was a tick mar, but she was smiling in a strange way.
"Alright I'm the higher rank here so you will listen to me! You are going to get out of here and assist other in your village. Kumo's alliance with Konoha is still here and while we can't say anything like insubordination we can still make your lives a mess so I'd keep that in mind," Yugito said and immediately everyone stopped when they heard laughing.
"Yes mother wants it. She wants your blood! I'll prove my existence with your BLOOD!" Gaara yelled while the sand swirled around him. He quickly turned into a half-Shukaku who glared and Naruto and Yugito.
"Come, fight me! Prove to me your existence! MOTHER WANTS YOUR BLOOD!" Gaara yelled and soon after that a loud roar came across the field making Sakura, Sasuke and Sai sweat. Naruto and Yugito narrowed their eyes and turned to each other then nodded.
"Kyuubi-chan I'll need some chakra," Naruto said and Kyuubi was more than happy to acknowledge Naruto's request. The blonde eyes grew to slits, his hair grew wilder along with his nails and teeth. Red charka flowed out his body and soon a tail came out. Naruto dropped to all fours and turned to Yugito who was doing the same.
"Go Kitten. Show that psychopathic Shukaku how a true jinchuuriki fights!" Nibi yelled and Yugito dropped to all fours also. All that happened to Naruto happened to her also, but her chakra was blue. It flowed from her body and Yugito glared at Gaara. Temari and the others widened their eyes and unconsciously backed away out of fear as the KI rose from the three jinchuuriki. Gaara cackled in an insane laugh.
"That it! This is what I've wanted! Give me your blood!" Gaara yelled. Naruto and Yugito growled and charged at Gaara. The fight between the three jinchuuriki had started in the invasion of Konoha.
KG: Sorry for the late update. I had some things to do is all. Later.
