KG: Hey everyone we're back. Naruto and I have made up and currently we're both having the bumps on our heads tended to.
Yugito: I had to smack some sense into both of you.
Naruto: So hard?
Yugito: Yep and there will be plenty more if you two continue to act up.
Both of us: Seriously?
Yugito: Seriously.
Omoi: Naruto getting manhandled by his woman. Oh how low you've fallen.
Karui: Speaking of Omoi, Where is my breakfast?!
Omoi: Making it right now dear. (thoughts) Ugh.
Naruto: Looks like I'm not the only one haha.
KG: Right well we'll continue this later for right now. You all have ass to kick.
Karui: Damn straight. Let's go!
KG: Very well then. We'll get right into it.
Naruto and Izanagi jumped into the air and clashed against each other. The lightning and wind howled through and struck through the skies as the two shinobi faced each other. Naruto growled at Izanagi while the latter merely smiled at his opponent. The two backed away from each other and landed on the edges of the mountain top before glaring at each other. Izanagi took out a long sword and Naruto took out both of his blades. He channeled his fuuton chakra through them while Izanagi channeled his raiton chakra through his own sword.
"You know fuuton beats raiton right?" Naruto asked before Izanagi disappeared and reappeared behind Naruto in a blur of speed that made the blonde gasp before he crouched down avoiding a strike to his throat and delivering as sweep kick knocking Izanagi off balance with his feet before the older man quickly planted his hands on the ground and rebounded back. Naruto cursed and flipped back to his feet before Izanagi brought his sword back.
"Disappear," he said and in a swift slash he sent Naruto flying in a wave of raiton chakra. Izanagi smiled at his accomplishment, but that didn't last long as Naruto immediately backflipped and landed like nothing was wrong with him.
"That should've crippled you," Izanagi said and Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Sorry, but I'm all good. Better luck next time," Naruto said and the two quickly clashed away like normal.
With Yugito and Orochimaru
Yugito escaped all of Orochimaru's attacks with her new blinding speed as she seemed to be disappearing in a flash of blue fire. Orochimaru threw a kunai at her, but she quickly vanished and in no time she slammed Orochimaru across the face with a kick that sent him flying towards a wall of the mountain in a loud crash. Yugito sighed and cracked her neck with her tailed beast mode flaring violently.
"I seem to have a good handle on it-nya," Yugito said and before long she noticed several snakes shot at her and she quickly dashed to the side, but she noticed them follow her rather easily and saw Orochimaru appear of the the wall with a smirk.
"You will be the greatest host for my body," Orochimaru said and Yugito scoffed while she watched Orochimaru open his mouth. Immediately thousands of snakes shot out from it in a tidal wave of reptiles. Yugito gasped at their size and sucked her teeth before doing a handsign and took a deep breath. She know found that handsigns were unnecessary for the time being. It would be quite a while before she could do shape manipulation without the need, but right now she just needed lots of fire.
"Katon: Jigoku Fukushū no Jutsu( Fire Release: Vengeful Hell Technique)," Yugito yelled sending a large flames towards the snakes and the two collided while Orochimaru watched as his snakes started to get annihilated by the effects of Yugito's intense fire before it rushed over him making his body burn.
Yugito kept the fire going from her mouth as it slammed into the wall burning whatever was inside it with an intensity that wasn't matched by anything she had ever done before. Feeling the lose of air, Yugito stopped her assault and took a breath while looking at the burning rocks in front of her. She grinned and chuckled, but she could feel the negative emotion in the air and cursed as she turned her head around she saw Orochimaru with his sword raised over his head as he slashed Yugito. The girl widened her eyes at the initial cut along her body while Orochimaru snickered.
"Kukuku I think I had too much fun. Oh well," he said, but he watched in utter fascination as Yugito's body started to come back together with a large flame line over her and quickly repaired her body. Yugito sighed in relief before turning around.
"You really are interesting," Orochimaru said while Yugito backflipped away.
"Then I'll show you something more. You want Yoton then you've got it," Yugito said as her fists balled. Immediately Orochimaru watched as the ground shook violently. Yugito kept her eyes focused on him while she raised her hands.
"Yoton: Yoyu Yogan No Jutsu( Lava Release: Melting Lava Technique)," Yugito yelled as she sent the lava from the earth towards Orochimaru. Her hands were being weaved in a weird way as she controlled the lava splendidly. Orochimaru could only dodge while the lava twirled in the air giving off a spectacular show the sannin making his eyes go wide.
"Yes I must have her body. With the Uchiha's eyes and her Yoton mastery then there will be nothing that I can't accomplish," Orochimaru said while Yugito sent the wave of lava towards him. Orochimaru jumped into the air and with his arm he shot out multiple snakes that wrapped themselves around Yugito's form. He quickly picked her up and slammed her into the wall with a small explosion as the Nibi jinchuuriki stayed pinned to the wall trying to fight the grip.
"You interest me. You will seek me out for my power. Now hold still," Orochimaru said as he extended his neck and shot at Yugito. The blonde woman gasped as Orochimaru sung his fangs into her neck, but she widened her eyes in realization that Orochimaru's chakra wasn't flowing into her. She grinned while Orochimaru seethed.
"What trickery is this?" he asked before his mouth started to feel hot...very hot. It burned immensely while Yugito allowed her fire to spread across her whole body.
"It seems like my body still rejects you. My powers allow me to recover from damage so your little mark won't be appearing on me unless I want it, but this is good because you're really close to me now. I'll burn you so much that you'll never have another body to go back to. Katon: Sashisematta Kōhai no Jutsu( Fire Release: Impending Destruction Technique)," Yugito yelled and a large blast of fire came from her mouth and into Orochimaru's face which wasn't something that he was looking forward too as he got his face burned. Orochimaru fell back towards the ground and dropped Yugito freeing the girl while she turned off her tailed beast mode for fear of death by reducing her chakra to zero. She grinned and Orochimaru's hands over his face. It was very burned as she couldn't see the other half of it very clearly.
"Something wrong pedo?" she asked and Orochimaru glared hard at her sending the KI to her, but Yugito wasn't going to back down from it while Orochimaru stood to his feet.
"I'll claim you one day. Don't get so relax. Better be prepared cause cornering a snake is never a good thing," Orochimaru said and Yugito snorted.
"Same could be said for a cat," she responded and Orochimaru merely disappeared into the darkness while Yugito stood to her feet. She was slightly winded but it was nothing. She could deal with so much more than that.
"I should go after Naruto-kun," Yugito said looking at the giant hole in the ceiling. She saw the brief flashes of lightning as Naruto and Izanagi disappeared and reappeared all around. Yugito sighed and rubbed her head.
"Now how do I get up there?" she asked herself while Naruto continued to have his fight.
With Samui and Karui
The two female chunin were currently fighting away at Hakura and Kabuto as Samui was dealing with three undead Iwa shinobi, but she quickly put them down rather easily with her powers. She quickly jumped in the air and touched the ceiling. Kabuto looked up while Samui weaved her hands. The waters followed her commands and soon shot directly at the medic nin. Kabuto backflipped away from the initial strike and checked his glasses.
"Hmm I'm outta here. Orochimaru-sama's presence is gone. I'll be taking my leave," Kabuto said and Samui dropped down.
"Hold it!" she shouted, but only watched as Kabuto also disappeared. She balled her fists, but noticed all traces of his presence vanish immediately. Samui cursed and sighed as she rubbed a hand through her hair.
"That could've gone better," Samui figured to herself before she heard cackling. The blonde turned around and gasped when she saw the raw electricity going throughout the cavern as Karui and Hakura were clashing left and right with each other. Their swords and kunai blazing with lightning as the two fought out.
Karui swung her sword, but Hakura dodged it and sent a kick to her side which Karui easily blocked. She growled and lunged her sword forward and Hakura managed to parry the shot with his kunai as he kicked Karui in the chest sending her skidding across the hard floor, but Karui immediately got up and shot back at Hakura. Samui noticed her hair straightening out from the lightning while her powers grew out of control. Samui kept her distance since she didn't want to be on the receiving end of that power. She might be mad of water, but even water evaporates when exposed to the high heat that rolls off electricity. It was a sight to watch.
"Hakura!" Karui yelled and clashed with him again. The lightning tore away at the ground from them both as Karui slammed Hakura in the side. The white haired man winced at the pain before Karui sent him flying into the mountain walls with a loud crash. She landed on the ground and huffed while the lightning flashed around dangerously. Hakura dropped to his knees and huffed as he tried to activate his armor again, but he watched as his body lit up then saw the energy get sucked away.
"What the hell?" he wondered before he watched all the lightning that he was flashing get sucked away into Karui's body. He watched her get to her feet and bring her blade back. Karui's sword flashed in white light and cackled loudly as Hakura widened his eyes. He saw the danger in Karui's rage filled eyes while her hair started to turn into a white color Hakura gasped before smiling.
"Izanagi-sama she really is your sister. Do you see it?" Hakura asked while Karui balled her fists. The lightning in her body raging out of control before she growled.
"Disappear along with Izanagi. Byakuraiton: Shiroi Senko no Kaminari Jutsu( White Lighting Release: White Thunder Flash Technique)!" Karui yelled and dashed at Hakura. The man closed his eyes and waited for his death while Karui growled. He simply waited and waited, but the strike never came as Hakura opened his eyes he saw Karui with her sword inches from his throat and a load of water limbs around her.
Karui glared back and saw Samui controlling the water with her arm as she stopped Karui from doing something she might really regret. Karui was about to yell, but the glare from Samui told her to calm down and to do it now. Karui bit her lower lip, but cursed as her hair lost its white color and turned back into the dark red that it always was. She growled, but stepped away from Hakura while the man let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding. So much power that he couldn't even move. He'd never seen such a raiton ability not even in Izanagi. It was so stunning. Like a work of art that could never die Hakura was astounded by her power.
"So amazing," Hakura said while Samui patted Karui's shoulder.
"He's not worth it. Go and cool your head. I'll take him," Samui said and while Karui wanted to retort she knew she couldn't so just went off to calm down. She really did get angry to easily. It wasn't good for her even if she wasn't tired in the least. She still felt a powerful surge of lightning in her body. She didn't know what happened after she fell on the ground. Her body reacted on its own and soon enough she was watching herself absorb all of Hakura's raiton power into her own body. It felt good sort of like a leech in a way.
"What happened to me?" Karui wondered while Samui restrained Hakura.
"You will admit your crimes before the entire village of Iwa," Samui said hoisting him up while Hakura giggled. He slowly turned his head to Samui making her narrow her eyes.
"You really think you've stopped it? Did you see her? Trust me she'll only further evolve and you will all see how different she is from you," Hakura said and Samui glanced at Karui before looking back down.
"Someone like you wouldn't understand her. Now get moving. You've got a lot of explaining to do," Samui said as she escorted Hakura away while Karui followed her out.
With Omoi and Kurotsuchi
Omoi slammed the ground and raised an shield to block the massive bone drill on Kimimaro's left arm and watched it crumbled as he and Kurotsuchi backflipped away. He sighed and rubbed the back of his head. This wasn't going well at all.
"Great, now what am I supposed to do?" Omoi wondered as the two dodged a whip-like bone attack from Kimimaro. He looked at them both impassively while Omoi cursed.
"Anymore bright ideas?" Kurotsuchi asked and Omoi sighed as he stood behind a wall. He placed a finger to his chin and shrugged his shoulders.
"Surrender and hope we live?" Omoi asked which earned him a bonk on the head though he didn't feel it and only earned a small yelp of pain from Kurotsuchi who rubbed her head.
"No you dolt. We're going to pin him down. Come on and stop being lazy," She said to him and Omoi sighed as he got to his feet. He closed his eyes and channeled chakra to his fist. He slammed the wall making it crumble while he glared.
"Fine then. Just make sure you don't slow me down," Omoi said to her and Kurotsuchi wondered about the glare before Omoi turned around and cracked his knuckles again. He quickly held up his fists and slammed the ground making it crumble. Kimimaro shifted his balance while Kurotsuchi jumped into the air and threw five kunai at Kimimaro who effortlessly blocked them and immediately, while his attention was distracted, Omoi grabbed a stone slab of the earth under him and quickly flipped it up causing Kimimaro to fall back, but he quickly regained his balance only for Omoi to smile.
"You're finished," he said and before Kimimaro could wonder what he mean Omoi touched the earth while his hands strained on it.
"Doton: Atarashi Chikyū no Jutsu( Earth Release: New Earth Division)," Omoi shouted and with his weeks of training he managed a straight cut through the ground and Kimimaro's legs. He quickly hyperextended his arms and in one move the earth quickly slit into two making Kimimaro gasp while Kurotsuchi finished her handsigns.
"Doton: Doryuso," she shouted and multiple spikes appeared in the edges of the walls on Omoi's jutsu while he quickly closed his hands intertwining his fingers.
"I appreciated the fight," Omoi said as the earth closed impaling whatever was inside while he dropped to the ground.
"Whew that was tough. Never attempted that before," he said and Kurotsuchi stood next to him while rubbed her head.
"I still think we should've let him live, but at least he's taken care of. You alright?" she asked and before Omoi could respond he watched her fall to the ground with a huff and sighed.
"Don't ask how people are when you're the one worn out. Sheesh, am I supposed to carry her now? What a pain," Omoi said rubbing the back of his head with a sigh before he felt the earth tremble a little.
"Either Karui has temper tantrums now or he's not dead. Tough choices. Hmm I'll go with the latter. Just great for me," Omoi thought to himself and he wondered how long this fight of his was going to last.
With Naruto and Izanagi
The storm raged outside while Naruto and Izanagi skidded back from each other. The former growled as this wasn't getting anywhere with him. He might have had the advantage, but Izanagi had the experience and it was a lot more of a pain to actually fight someone like that.
Naruto got to his feet while Izanagi rested his sword on his shoulders.
"You done yet boy?" he asked and Naruto smirked as he shook his head. He grinned as preparations were finally complete. It seems that Izanagi still didn't know everything about the blonde that would make him fearsome. Naruto sighed and dropped his swords. Izanagi raised an eyebrow while Naruto snickered.
"Not by a long shot you asshole," Naruto said as he vanished in the Hiraishin. Izanagi widened his eyes at the jutsu while Naruto appeared behind him. He quickly held out his hand and a blue sphere appeared from it. Naruto glared as Izanagi turned around a little too late.
"Rasengan," Naruto yelled as he slammed the sphere into Izanagi's back. The ball was pushed into Izanagi's spine as it continued to pummel him before Naruto sent him flying from the jutsu. Izanagi grimaced at the pain before Naruto appeared in front of him. He held both hands out and quickly slammed Izanagi in the stomach while the blonde managed to casted a red, slitted eye glare at him.
"This is going to hurt...a lot. Fuuton: Rokuougan no Jutsu( Wind Release: Six King Gun Technique)," Naruto yelled as Izanagi felt a large blast of wind slam him through his body and expel behind him like his body was being crushed by a large boulder just from the force of Naruto's attack while the block smirked as the shock wave of compressed air slammed into the mountain side while Naruto grinned.
"Lost your raiton right dattebayo?" Naruto asked as Izanagi fell to the ground in pain. He felt his body, internally, hurt by the attack while Naruto grinned. He had trained a lot with Yugito to try and hone that particular attack. A massive wave of compressed air fired from his hands into someone's body at close range to cause massive internal damage, the only ones to experience this technique were Naruto's clones and indirectly himself. He could tell from his clones reactions that it really hurt and that made it all the more fun. It was his first newly made A-rank technique not only because of the chakra it would take to perform the technique, but also because of the control behind it. While it didn't take Naruto any chakra due to his wind powers he still felt tired from the level of control and force that he needed to exert, but he couldn't complain about it. He turned around and watched in awe as Izanagi stood to his feet while coughing up some blood and rubbing his stomach.
"Impressive. Very impressive. I was able to tighten my muscles and yet that still hurt a lot. Very good, but I'm afraid that play time is over," he said and Naruto narrowed his eyes while smirking.
"Really? Well good. I was getting bored anyway," Naruto said and Izanagi snapped his fingers. He didn't know what that would do, but it was about to go bad for Samui and Karui.
With Samui and Karui
The two were currently guiding Hakura outside before Hakura heard the snap. He smirked and his heart started to increase in beat. Once, twice, thrice. Samui and Karui turned to him and Hakura entire body lit up in raiton chakra. He snickered and his eyes changed from their color into pure white similar to a Hyuuga's body these didn't hold the byakugan, no they held what was a man wielding a large form of power as Hakura held out his hand.
"Byakuraiton: Kakubunretsu no Jutsu( White Lightning: Fission Technique)," Hakura yelled and a white light shined at the entrance of the mountain while Karui grabbed Samui and the two hit the ground. They closed their eyes as the light flashed over the the village alerting all Iwa shinobi to their presence. The next few moments were insane as Karui and Samui opened their eyes. They gasped out as they looked at a straight searing line with burnt building and Hakura with his hand extended and cackling with lightning.
"You know Izanami-sama there was once a seal made by the Shodaime Raikage. It was said that he gained the white lightning technique while being directly struck by pure lightning itself and being able to integrate it into his chakra. Fearing this would bring out of control power, he placed a seal on himself and those who knew the techniques such as Izanagi-sama. Did you know that Izanagi taught me Byakuraiton? Did you also know that he gave me the seal and once it's removed then those who have trained in this power for more than ten years gain such a power. Isn't it amazing?" Hakura asked while Karui widened her eyes. She balled her fists and jumped in the air.
"You!" she growled, but Hakura easily grabbed her sword and held it in his hands while Karui cursed. He looked at her with a new smile across his face before he kicked her faster than she could see and slammed her into the wall of the mountain and did the same to Samui.
Soon Iwa shinobi surrounded him and took out their kunai.
"Halt, you are under arrest. Attempt to resist and you will die," a jonin said and Hakura looked at him. He chuckled and the jonin's words before he crossed his arms and quickly sent a jolt of lightning flashing into everyone around him.
"You Doton users have got no chance in hell against me!" Hakura yelled and the Iwa shinobi began to fight against Hakura
With Tsunade and the others
Everyone hurried outside the hotel as they had seen the large explosion. Not to mention that large as hell line that was blazing through Iwa at the moment. Tsunade growled and Mabui sighed, but they made it a point to protect the Raikage so they didn't move from their spot as they saw the Iwa shinobi on the move. It was becoming a massive problem for everyone while Tsunade bit her lip.
"Dammit where is that brat and his friends? They should've stopped this," Tsunade said, but Mabui pointed her finger.
"I can sense them. Samui and Karui are directly near the source of the explosion, but I can't find the others. I do feel several powerful signatures across the mountain over there," she said and Tsunade punched her fist.
"Mabui, guard that muscle bound idiot. I'm going now," Tsunade said before she felt a pat on her shoulder.
"No I'm going. Just tell me where that brat is and I'll take it from there. I swear you try to escape paperwork and shit like this happens to you," someone said and Tsunade watched as he flew off towards the top of the mountain while everyone seemed to forget the raging storm that was happening with the wind blowing and the lightning flashing.
With Naruto and Izanagi
The blonde was suddenly punched, but it went through his body like usual until Izanagi sent another kick to his side as Naruto was sent flying into a wall. He growled and so did Izanagi as the two jumped into the air. They clashed and clashed away at each other before Naruto flipped his body and brought his foot overhead to Izanagi's face, but the man quickly grabbed it and chuckled as he drove Naruto into the ground headfirst making it crack while he stood to his feet.
"Hmph is that all brat? I haven't begun to get serious yet," Izanagi said while Naruto looked at the sky. He silently cursed as Izanagi was starting to increase his tempo. Naruto's clones weren't like him and being hit would make them dispel like always. Raiton techniques weren't working out for him at all and Katon was just a nuisance at the moment. He only had his fuuton chakra and the limited knowledge from Asuma that got him there. He would so need to see that guy again.
"You're not serious huh? Then I'll get you serious," Naruto said as red chakra swirled around his body. He stood to his feet and glared hard at Izanagi. Said clan head watched as Naruto stood to his feet and the chakra encased his body. His eyes squinted, their shape turned to slits and his wounds began to heal. His hair swirled around and he dropped to all fours. The blonde growled and one tailed appeared behind him.
"The Kyuubi huh? One deity vs another. I'm getting chills," Izanagi said and before long he slammed Naruto in the face, but the blonde only used it to grab his wrist while he grabbed him and with his hands sent him flying as the chakra extended from his palms. Izanagi seemed shocked by the action, but he quickly vanished from Naruto's grip while the blonde growled.
"You're not getting away!" Naruto yelled as he jumped in the air. He thrashed his red chakra arms violently around while Izanagi dodged them all with his speed. Naruto dropped to the ground and Izanagi stood apart from him.
"Scared?" Naruto asked and Izanagi snorted.
"Nah, just checkin your speed. It sucks," he said and Naruto quickly vanished in a new colored Hiraishin while he appeared behind Izanagi.
"Fast enough?" Naruto asked and Izanagi quickly jumped back, but Naruto grabbed him with his red colored chakra tail and placed his hands on his chest again making Izanagi widen his eyes.
"Fuuton: Rokuougan no Jutsu," Naruto yelled and the same shock wave of wind slammed Izanagi making him gasp out in pain of the attack as the heavy wave slammed into the wall causing a large crack in the surface. Naruto huffed and dropped him while Izanagi fell to the ground. He turned to see Naruto smirk before he held up a handsign.
"Hijutsu: Raifuin:...Kai( Hidden Technique: Lightning Seal...Release)," Izanagi said and Naruto growled as he sighed.
"How much chakra does this lightning freak have?" Naruto wondered before he heard someone yell.
"Doton: Kajugan no Jutsu( Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique)," The person yelled as they slapped Izanagi and immediately Naruto watched as the man who was said to be as fast as the Raikage slammed into the ground like he felt gravity working against him. The mysterious person flew next to Naruto and appeared in front of him.
"You're really as troublesome as your father Gaki. Messing up my village I petrify you for this," he said and Naruto raised that he was short, but he knew who the person was. The Tsuchikage, Onoki of Both Scales.
"What? You're alive? You had all of Iwa searching for you," Naruto said not knowing that his chakra cloak was leaving him. Onoki folded his arms and snorted.
"Try to get away from paperwork and the whole village is in an uproar. Explain to me this situation boy. I won't tolerate those who attack my village," Onoki said and Naruto quickly got to his feet.
"You're a Kage, you should already know the situation," Naruto said and Onoki's eyebrow twitched, but he said nothing.
"Cheeky brat. You have a point. Guess I'll get some exercise today. Now hold on alright?" He asked and Naruto watched as Onoki patted the blonde on the back. Immediately Naruto was risen into the air and the blonde gasped.
"Whoa I can fly! Awesome dattebayo," Naruto shouted as he went up and down across the mountaintop while Onoki sighed.
"Why does everyone react like that?" he asked himself in thought before both turned to see Izanagi getting to his feet while he wiped some blood from his lips.
"So the old man survived huh? It really is hard to kill a cockroach," Izanagi said and Naruto sighed.
"I know. You just don't stay down do you?" Naruto joked and Izanagi narrowed his eyes.
"Well it doesn't matter. It seems that I've overstayed my welcome. I'll let you both live," Izanagi said and quickly he stared to use his speed to get away, but Naruto, having learned the Hiraishin, was already faster. The blonde quickly vanished and appeared behind Izanagi.
"You're not going anywhere!" Naruto yelled as he kicked Izanagi and sent him flying towards Onoki. The old Kage held up a handsign and quickly did the technique that made him famous.
"Jinton: Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu( Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique)," Onoki yelled and Izanagi widened his eyes as a sphere dome came around him and Naruto quickly did his own handsigns.
"Fuuton: Toppuu Shoheki( Wind Release: Gale Barrier)," Naruto shouted and a fierce wind shot over the Tsuchikage's original technique and Onoki narrowed his eyes at Izanagi.
"You will die here. Goodbye," he said and Izanagi widened his eyes before he was completely vaporized. Naruto smirked and dropped to the ground with a long huff in his voice. The lightning and winds calmed down, but the rain still poured. Naruto had never been so happy in his entire life.
"Finally. Just finally finished with his ass," Naruto said while Onoki looked at the body.
"Tell me brat. Why did you fight him? This was Iwa's problem," Onoki said not wanting to start feeling indebted to a Namikaze of all people.
"Just trying to protect what's important to me. In the end that's all anyone wants to do right?" Naruto asked and Onoki merely nodded while the two watched as Iwa shinobi surrounded Naruto and placed their kunai at his throats.
"I knew the Namikaze brat did this. He's the one who bombed the Tsuchikage mansion. I knew we shouldn't have let him in here. Where is Tsuchikage-sama?" someone asked and Naruto merely pointed to the right as everyone saw the old man chuckling at the sight.
"Tsuchikage-sama," they all said and Onoki floated to Naruto and looked at him.
"As much as it pains me to say it, we must let the Namikaze go," Onoki said and most of the jonin gasped in shock while Onoki turned to him.
"This boy had helped me defeat the one responsible. You will all take him to the hospital and treat his wounds. Also construction of the damaged part of the village will begin immediately understood?" he asked and everyone nodded as they inched away while Naruto got to his feet.
"No need for a hospital. I'm fine. Fit as a fiddle," Naruto said and winced before he whimpered.
"Well mostly," he said earning a small chuckle from Onoki before he turned around.
"And what of Hakura?" Onoki asked and the jonin sighed and as Yugito quickly came up. Looking at the situation she quickly dashed for her boyfriend.
"Naruto-kun are you alright?" Yugito asked looking over his form and the blonde looked a little worse for wear, but he seemed fine.
"Just fine, but I'm dead tired," Naruto said with a grin and Onoki looked up to see the sun rising.
"Well you have been fighting what seems to be all night. If you're the one in charge of this boy then make sure that he gets his rest. The same could be said for his friends and yourself. Don't worry no one will be disturbing you," Onoki said to Yugito and the jonin hopeful nodded with a bow of her head and collected Naruto before disappearing in a fire shunshin.
"Onoki-sama was it really alright just to let them go?" someone asked and Onoki grinned.
"Just this once I'll allow it. Damn brat," Onoki said as he and his shinobi left, but no one knew of the sinister scheme taking place.
Outside Iwa
A man in a dark cloak and weird mask appeared and dropped Izanagi to the ground. Said Rai clan head coughed and looked around before he looked at the figure.
"You really are a fool to have done that by yourself," he said and Izanagi 'hmphed'. He dusted himself off, but the internal damage from Naruto's attacks did a lot to him and so he was probably internally bleeding.
"You shouldn't move or you'll die. Tell me will you help me achieve my goal?" the mysterious man asked and Izanagi coughed as he looked up.
"I have no interest in your goals. Just leave me alone you ass. I have a sister to save," Izanagi said and the man chuckled behind his mask.
"Right, your Izanami right? Well that's fine then. You help me and you'll not only have your sister, but you'll also bring about the death of the Kyuubi jinchuuriki," he said and Izanagi narrowed his eyes, but it sounded like too good an opportunity to pass up. Anything for his sister. After all, what was a brother for huh?
"You promise," Izanagi said and the man raised an eyebrow.
"Huh?" he asked and Izanagi narrowed his eyes.
"You promise me that boy dies and I'll do whatever you need me to," Izanagi said and the man grinned like mad.
"Very well then. I promise that the Kyuubi jinchuuriki will die. Now then here is what I expect you to do-," the two faded out of sight as the discussions of their talk was left to no one, but them.
That Morning, Hotel room
Tsunade and Mabui smiled as they opened the door to see Naruto sleeping soundly on the bed while Yugito was sleeping soundly on his chest. The two were a lovely scene and even in the middle of the morning it was still nice to see them.
"Dammit, when they came through that door they had us so worried. They look like they just didn't get scolded by us," Tsunade said and Mabui nodded as they closed the door and opened another.
"I said I'm fine!" Karui yelled as she laid on a bed with some bandages. She had let her guard down at one point and got cut by Hakura so people were worried about it which irritated her. Samui and Omoi were fine and sleeping also while Karui was trying to get some rest herself.
"Alright we're leaving then," Mabui said while everyone sighed. Karui went to sleep and right next to her was Kurotsuchi who was suffering from mild chakra exhaustion and plenty of injuries. They all told how they fought Orochimaru, but how he and Kabuto got away. Omoi said he didn't know about Kimimaro, but he figured that the bone user left also and whole Tsunade and Jiraiya would have liked to be...reunited with their old teammate they knew it was amazing that Yugito actually stood a chance against him which made them all wonder about her.
Tsunade and Mabui closed the rooms while Jiraiya and A came up behind them.
"How are Naruto and the others?" Jiraiya asked and Tsunade gave him a thumbs up.
"Right now they're all resting. They were fighting a long time. It amazed me that Naruto and Yugito even being who they are showed little signs of chakra exhaustion even for them to go against Izanagi and Orochimaru it would be tiresome for Jiraiya and I. Samui, Karui and Omoi were the same. Had little exhaustion and I believe that the exhaustion is only due to them overstraining their muscles. Had they been anyone else then they would probably die from the exhaustion," Tsunade explained and Jiraiya sighed.
"Hmm we'll have to ask them about that later, but for now it would be good that they all sleep. The village seems to have calmed down since Onoki returned, but they're all still on edge while they repair that massive line from Hakura's jutsu. A, is Byakuraiton really that powerful?" Jiraiya asked and A looked out the window at the semi destroyed landscape.
"You know that it was one of the five forbidden elements for a reason. In fact all of our village's shodaime had their forbidden techniques. The Shodaime of Konoha had Mokuton( Wood Release), the Shodaime of Kiri had Chiton( Blood Release), the Shodaime of Iwa had Furūton( Tremor Release), the Shodaime of Suna had Taifūton( Typhoon Release) and Kumo has Byakuraiton( White Lightning Release). All different, but still from the same elements of water, wind, earth and fire and lightning. Don't ask me how the fire part fits into this since I don't know ever country's history," A said and everyone nodded.
"Yeah that being said then it's amazing what they can accomplish isn't it?" Mabui asked and the others agreed.
"Did that old goat say anything about the jonin exams?" Tsunade asked and Jiraiya leaned against the door.
"At this point it's up in the air. He doubts that it might continue and will just have to do some other time. It will be disappointing to Yugito and C as well as Izumo and Kotetsu, but there is nothing we can do. By the way has anyone see Kakashi or Yugao?" Jiraiya asked before he heard someone.
"Right behind you," Kakashi said coming up with Yugao right behind him as the two came into the hallway.
"We heard everything. It seems that we can owe this one to Naruto and his friends. How are they?" Kakashi asked and Tsunade opened Naruto's door and Kakashi gave an eyesmile to the two jinchuuriki resting peacefully and closed it.
"We were out trying to get some information. It seems that a lot of people are outside who wish to apologize to Uzumaki-Namikaze-san for their suspicions. I think the whole Yondaime thing was still hard to look past," Yugao spoke making everyone sigh.
"War is hard to forget," Sarutobi said coming along with Hiashi.
"Yeah we know. Well we're just going to let them rest. Hopefully that old man will have something for us tonight when they all wake up," A said and everyone nodded as they decided to let the team have their sleep.
Nighttime( Again)
Naruto yawned and raised up from his bed and saw Yugito sleeping peacefully. It was great to see her so serene, but he also winced at some lasting pain from the muscle strain. It seems that just cause he didn't need chakra for his fuuton jutsu he still needed it for the other things and that was annoying to say the least, but he ignored it. Naruto grazed his hand over Yugito's soft cheek making her stir slightly before she nuzzled against his chin and slept some more. Naruto chuckled at the sight of her before he felt a presence.
"Kyuubi-chan?" Naruto called and Kyuubi smiled to her boyfriend as she decided to call him.
"Naruto-kun when you and your friends recover I want you all to meet up and begin for the process of a long talk," Kyuubi said and Naruto knew he was going to regret asking, but he did anyway.
"Why? Is something going to happen?" he asked and Kyuubi nodded her head though the blonde couldn't see it in the least.
"That's right. So when you're all well and fine then get together. Nibi and I will arrive a little later to discuss things with you," Kyuubi said and Naruto merely agreed as they severed the connection with Naruto wondering what Kyuubi wanted to talk about with himself, Yugito, Samui, Karui and Omoi. So the blonde used that thought to wander off back to sleep and ease his mind.
Next Morning
Naruto, Yugito and the others were up, not about, but up as they laid in their beds while A and Jiraiya told them the news.
"Cancelled? The jonin exams got cancelled?" C asked and A nodded while Naruto glanced at Yugito who wasn't really surprised.
"It was after a long discussion with the Tsuchikage and the three of us agreed together that since Iwa was attacked that it would be best if we all returned. We informed him of Izanagi and Hakura which know has them on Iwa's wanted list as shinobi. It's good that Naruto and his group helped stop them so Iwa said that it wouldn't hold any retaliation to Kumo for it. Nice work all of you," A said making Naruto and Yugito grin. Karui and Omoi rubbed the back other heads and Samui merely smiled.
"So that's it. We're just going to go home now?" Omoi asked and A nodded his head.
"That's right. We'll be leaving as soon as you five are able to move with Tsunade's permission. Same can be said with Jiraiya-dono and his Konoha shinobi," A said making Jiraiya nod.
"Anko informed me that Sakura has been begging her to let her go after Sasuke. I, personally, think it is waste, but she's so adamant about it. I think I'll be taking through some other training," Jiraiya said and everyone wasn't sure if that was best, but no one said anything about it.
"Alright everyone let's have them rest and I mean it you five. Rest and get some sleep," Tsunade said making them nod as they laid their heads on their beds. Everyone filed out of the room leaving the five alone. They all stayed silent for a few minutes before Naruto jumped out of the bed and got to his feet. Karui, Omoi and Samui did the same while Yugito sat on the floor. They all followed her lead and Naruto did a few handsigns. He slammed the ground and immediately Kyuubi and Nibi appeared in front of everyone. They had all woken up a little earlier from the morning and Naruto spoke to them about what Kyuubi wanted to talk about so everyone joined around.
"I take it Naruto told you all?" Kyuubi asked and everyone nodded while Nibi leaned against the wall and Kyuubi began her story.
"Alright I'm going to explain this and I need you all to listen. Don't interrupt me until I'm finished understand?" she asked and everyone nodded. It felt weird taking orders from a bijuu, but they didn't seem to mind and everyone understood her word.
"Good, now I'll get right to the point. You are all going to die," Kyuubi said earning gasps from everyone. They all glanced at each other and everyone resisted the urge to ask their questions right there and allowed Kyuubi to continue which was something that she liked so she continued on.
"I know that questions must be popping into your heads fast and you want them answered, but let me continue. The powers you all possess at the moment are, at the moment, killing you. To embody the elements is something that no mortal is able to do, at least not fully and without consequences. Basically the elements inside you are breaking your body to be able to handle their immense power. Your bodies are being 'refitted' to hold them, but your bodies can't keep up with the fast changes that the elements think you can and so it's killing you. In about a year you would've die," Kyuubi said and everyone looked at the ground, but they heard the second to last word before she paused. They would've died. She had something for them?
"Aside from the human realm is the realm where myself, Nibi and the other bijuu come from. You humans might call it the Demon realm, but we call it Makai. In Makai, there are places of training for each of you. There time moves at a different pace than here. Also for some reason, Makai is a beacon to the powers inside all of you. It is there that your bodies can adjust and will learn to naturally accept them. You might experience some minor pain, but I'm sure you'll live. That's why you have to leave here," Kyuubi finished and everyone glanced at each other. Now was the time for questions and so Karui started.
"Is going to Makai the only way for us to survive this thing? I mean we were doing so well before," Karui said and it was Nibi who spoke.
"The reason why you're alright is because you didn't understand those powers and trained with them nearly everyday and it also helped that you had a certain mastery over them since you weren't causing natural disasters to appear all over the place like a few others that had acquired them before," Nibi said and everyone nodded before she continued.
"But there is no way of surviving this without going to Makai. Just trust our word on it," Nibi said and Karui nodded while Samui spoke.
"How long will we be there?" she asked and Kyuubi turned to her.
"At the most, two or three of your human years which is about the most it should take. I'm not saying that it will be that long or that short, but it is around that time. However it is in that time that you will be training in our realms. The foxes and the cats have already set everything up for your arrival," Kyuubi said and Naruto tilted his head to the side.
"How are we supposed to explain this to A-Jiji. It's not like we can just up and leave so easily," Naruto said and Kyuubi nodded as she already had a plan of action for that moment.
"That will be taken care off. Now are there anymore questions?" Kyuubi asked and no one didn't seem to have anything so Kyuubi and Nibi smiled.
"Good, now get your sleep and continue to rest while Nibi and I get things started," Kyuubi said vanishing out of sight while everyone seemed silent for a little bit.
"Great so now we're off to the Demon Realm. Wait, if we're going there then does that mean demons are going to feast on us? Am I going to be the only one alive? What will I tell Raikage-sama when we return. This isn't good at all!" Omoi said keeping his exaggerated thoughts to himself.
"In any case this might be important for us. We'll discuss this in more detail after some rest. Now let's listen to Tsunade-sama's orders and get some rest. Well talk about it on the way back to Kumo," Samui said as the leader as usual. Everyone nodded their heads and went to their respective rooms.
With Orochimaru
The snake sannin was currently sitting in his chair hissing in pain at the side if his face. Kabuto tried to offer him medication, but the searing burns on his face were too much to ignore. He also failed in giving Yugito the curse mark. He never failed to give one before. It made no sense and then there was that mastery over Yoton that she showed him. It was almost better than the Mizukage's version if he had to compare them, but he could think later. He would have her and her body. Such a power that wasn't under his control couldn't be tolerated.
"Orochimaru-sama, how is your face?" Kabuto asked and Orochimaru took his pain medication as he felt the burning on the side of his face soothe down.
"A burning sensation Kabuto, but it was well worth it. Now then, where is Sasuke-kun?" he asked and right on time the Uchiha came through the door and narrowed his eyes.
"Orochimaru, where is...my...training? What happened to your face?" Sasuke asked and Orochimaru merely covered it with the half of his bandaged hand and snickered.
"Small fire hazard. Very well Sasuke. We shall begin your training immediately and you will have the power to kill your brother as you wish," Orochimaru said making Sasuke snort as he walked away wit his hands in his pockets.
"Kabuto, set Sasuke up with his training. We must keep him happy I suppose," Orochimaru said and Kabuto nodded with a bow as he left with Orochimaru casting an evil glare.
"Just you wait Yugito-chan. I think you'll find that I'm quite persistent about what I want," Orochimaru said with a smirk.
Three days later, Konoha
Jiraiya was behind his desk before he heard a knock to his door. He already knew who it was and didn't have to look up to know that it was Sakura who he was hoping would cone to him.
"Come in," Jiraiya said and Sakura came through the door. She bowed and kept her head down.
"Hello Hokage-sama. I'd like to request that Sai-san and I be taken as your students," Sakura said and Jiraiya stopped writing he turned his head to see Sai waving at him out the window and closed his eyes.
"I have no time to train those who aren't going after real dreams. If you want to get the Uchiha then-,"
"This isn't about Sasuke-kun," Sakura said and Jiraiya seemed utterly confused. Was he wrong in some aspect? However before he said anything he let Sakura continued.
"Even before Sasuke-kun left, I knew I was lacking. The Chunin exams proved it. Anko-sensei is tough on us, but I know it's mostly for my benefit. I can't keep up with Sai-san and I couldn't do it with Sasuke-kun. I-I'm weak Hokage-sama I want to get stronger I want to do amazing things. I want people to look up to me. So I'm called Sakura, a proud member of team Anko and not just the girl who watched as her comrades fought. Please take me!" Sakura said and Sai opened the window and bowed.
"I would like this training as well Hokage-sama," they said and Jiraiya looked at them both. He closed his eyes and put his pen down. The Hokage stood to his feet and looked out the window.
"The rasengan was Minato's legacy to Naruto. I can't teach it them these two without his consent and I don't think it suits them anyway, but I think I know just the thing for the both of them. Anko you showed them both to grow some backbone. Nice job," Jiraiya thought and turned around.
"Two days, 10:00 in the morning sharp. Training ground #7. You will both be coming with me and you'll turn out fine. Now then get going and pack your clothes as we'll be moving around for quite a bit," Jiraiya said making Sakura smile and Sai nodded as they turned to each other and smiled.
Kumogakure, one week later
Naruto and Yugito were currently packing their clothes as everyone had agreed to go to Makai for their survival and training, but they all still wondered what would happen to them as they came back. It would be interesting to find out, but they told Kyuubi and Nibi to inform the Raikage which was why she was gone at the moment.
"Do you have everything Naruto-kun?" Yugito asked and Naruto nodded his head.
"Almost just let me get some more things," Naruto told her and Yugito nodded her head as she watched her boyfriend seal up the stuff into their scrolls. Yugito hummed a soft tone while Naruto had his clones racing through the house trying to pack everything as were Samui, Omoi and Karui in their respective houses.
With Kyuubi
The female bijuu quickly walked into the Raikage's office and coughed as she smiled.
"Hello Raikage-sama," she said trying to have her voice be a human as possible without her demonic voice. A looked up from his work while Mabui raised an eyebrow at the woman. Neither had seen such a person before and soon a woman wearing glasses with blue hair came behind her holding a notepad.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" A asked her and Kyuubi smiled as she walked forward professionally. She had been in a lot of transactions involving business since she was the queen of her realm so this was no different for her and Nibi.
"I'd like to ask that you complete a mission for me. It's to guard my castle overseas. It's being threatened by a group of people and I've heard of Kumo success in missions especially with one group of people. These five," Kyuubi said holding a poster of Yugito, Naruto, Samui, Omoi and Karui. Mabui and A looked at it and smiled as word really seemed to spread about those five and what they did in Iwa.
"I see well what mission rank is this?" He asked and Kyuubi smiled.
"A-rank sir. It really is a tough job, but hearing about them just made me want to personally request them," Kyuubi said and A looked the scroll over. Simply protect a woman and her castle. Didn't seem too hard.
"And who long will they be gone?" he asked and Kyuubi sweatdropped and rubbed the back of her head.
"Umm 2-3 years?" she asked and A dropped the note. Nibi giggled and Kyuubi sighed. Yeah this was going to take a while.
A little later
Kyuubi exited the room and so did Nibi as Kyuubi leaned against the wall.
"Damn human. I should rip his arms off and fed them to my dogs. Hmph, he's lucky I'm paying so much for this," Kyuubi said with a pout while Nibi snickered.
"Well it's alright in the end. Come on, we have to tell them," She said and Kyuubi nodded as they went off.
And tell everyone they did as Kyuubi and Nibi explained their mission which everyone thought it was downright ludicrous, but Kyuubi said that it completely worked out and they could leave just a soon as they were finished with everything and another three days were spent doing just that.
Gates of Kumo
Naruto, Samui, Karui, Omoi and Yugito came to the gates and turned to see their friends. Naruto watched in laughter as Atsui hugged his sister.
"Later sis. Go and show 'em how hot your soul can be," he said to her and Samui merely nodded with a distant look in her face like she would just wish that he get off her.
"See ya brat. Do well over there," Tsunade said giving Naruto a hug while the blonde hugged back. Shizune wished the blonde luck on his long mission to which Naruto responded that he would be back in no time for her. He also gave Mabui a hug telling her that he would miss his older sister while Mabui said that when they met again she would treat him to ramen and the blonde was easily overjoyed by that.
"Ey ya fools. Keep up and don't slump. Show dem you is tight and you know how to fight," Bee said holding his fist out to them. Karui bumped it then Omoi, Naruto and lastly Samui.
"Look after them Yugito. I'm counting on you," A said and Yugito nodded with a bow.
"Understood Raikage-sama," she said with a smile while C and Darui gave the others their goodbyes.
"Alright then...shall we go?" Naruto asked and the others nodded as they ran off from Kumo with the others waving goodbye wishing them all the luck in the world.
"What do you think will happen when they return?" Tsunade asked and Mabui smiled.
"I think things will be a lot more interesting when they do. They'll have grown a lot. It makes me said sort of," she said and Tsunade chuckled while wrapping her arm around Mabui's neck and Shizune consoled her before they walked off.
With Naruto and the others
The five chunin wasted no time before they quickly hit the base of the mountaintop and sighed. Naruto rubbed his head and so did the others.
"Everyone have everything?" Yugito asked and they all nodded. They didn't know what to expect, but they would be ready for it especially when they saw Kyuubi and Nibi appear.
"I hope you're all ready for this," She said and everyone nodded as Kyuubi did her handsigns along with Nibi. The two quickly slammed the ground and reverse summoned everyone to Makai.
The entire group stumbled to the floor before they looked around. Naruto widened his eyes and so did Yugito. Karui stared in awe while Omoi whistled. Samui took the entire scene in while Nibi and Kyuubi spoke.
"Welcome to Makai. You living hell-umm training for the next two to three years," They both said and everyone couldn't wait to get started. It would be fun times when they returned and most importantly. They wouldn't die!
KG: Alright we're going to talk. One I'm sorry about rushing that fight with Izanagi if I did. I also know that if Naruto had wind then he should've won easily, but it was a clan head who had much more experience than him so I just went off that. Also I have a plan for Izanagi later that made him need to disappear the way he did. I wouldn't have him die that easily. Next, yes you read right. I'm going to make Sakura (hold onto your hats) useful along with Sai. It will do some good later. Also if you recognized one of Naruto's fuuton techniques then yes I took it from that anime. It was just so cool that it made for a good fuuton jutsu in my mind.
KG: Also, no it won't be a massive time skip as I'll go into detail with their training in Makai. Besides, Naruto needs to get close to Nibi at some point right? Hehehe
Naruto: Perv.
KG: Shut it. Also people pay attention to the whole thing that A said about the shodaime of the individual villages as they will play an important role in the future. Not physically, but rather spiritually and mentally.
Naruto: I don't get it.
Yugito: Me neither.
KG: I'm the other. You're not really supposed to get it until later.
Both of them: Hmph
KG: Hehe also as to Hakura escaping and the unexpected blast on Iwa well my imagination wondered a little and well that happened. Sorry if it was confusing to you. I wrapped up the fight in a bit of a hurry so that a could administer the time skip. I can't do an omake today. Too (yawn) tired. So be cool stay breezy and look out for each other. KyuubiGoku signing out ya'll.
