Chapter 29: Battle for the Jinchuuriki, Part 4

The explosion barely left anything behind; just a crater and a few burnt trunks of wood. Obito stood at the far edge of the giant crater, the injured Naruto and Tsukiyomi laying on the other end.

Both had a few bad burns, but Naruto had a severe gash on the left forearm due to to blocking a porportion of the blast from Tsukiyomi and his ninken.

Naruto's blind blue eyes snapped open, seeing the outline of Obito's form. The Uchiha's arms were raised, both of the Shirugan Akuken's in his hands. The blonde rolled out of the way, avoiding the stab that dug into the ground.

He jumped up, pulling out a kunai. He winced painfully, and switched arms, letting his left arm go limp.

Obito smirked. "Nasty injury you got there, Naruto. Maybe you should sit and rest..."

"As good as that sounds, I'll have to say no," Naruto growled. His teeth grit in annoyance. "And don't talk to me so casually, Obito."

Obito's eyes rolled in irritation. "Hn."

The two raced foreward, sparks flying everywhere as their weapons clashed.

Tsukiyomi's eyes opened up, his vision slightly blurring. He felt a burn on his arm, side and left leg. He shot up, and quickly got to healing himself with Chiyu no Chikara.

A minute or so later, he shot up. "Naruto! Come here."

Said blonde created two hundred clones; surrounding Obito and falling back to Tsukiyomi's side.

Tsukiyomi put his hand over Naruto's left forearm, using Shousen Jutsu. The wound quickly closed up thanks to the Kyuubi, and the brunette quickly got to his burns.

He finished just in the nick of time; Obito was just finished with the clones.

"Damn brat," Obito hissed.

Tsukiyomi dodged a slash from Obito's dual wielding Akuken. Naruto jumped away, throwing shuriken and kunai at the Uchiha—who easily dodged.

Obito's head snapped towards Tsukiyomi, his glare intensifying. "You are getting in my way, Tsukiyomi Uzumaki."

Naruto's eyes widened, and he charged at the Uchiha...

...Only to be punched away by dead energy that shot up from the ground in the form of a giants fist.

Suddenly, the forest, earth and the wall of Konoha started to turn to a dull shade. Tsukiyomi's eyes started drooping, and he collapsed.

Tsunade, Sasuke, Itachi, Konan and Hidan's eyelids suddenly started falling.

"W-what's going on...?" Tsunade murmured. She yawned. "I'm suddenly feeling exhausted..."

"Me too..." Hidan grumbled. He fell onto his back. "Good night..."

Itachi grumbled something about Hidan being stupid and how the genjutsu was strengthened by teritiary. Then, he collapsed, asleep.

"Moron..." Konan muttered. She fell forward face flat onto the clay, soft snores escaping her throat.

"I-it's probably ju-st a g-genjutsu..." Sasuke stated. "I-it shouldn't b-e a pro-ble..." But his voice trailed off, and he, too, fell asleep.

Tsunade was the last on top of the bird to fall asleep, collapsing on her side.

Deidara—whose sense's were connected to the bird—looked up to the bird. He frowned, but his eyes widened. "Guys, the sleeping jutsu is being strengthened!"

As if a queue, the two giant metal monsters collapsed and turned into chunks of pipes, screws and kunai's.

"What?! I thought this was its highest level!" Kakuzu hissed.

"Well, looks like it isn't," Sasori stoically stated. "St-ay on y-your gaurd..." But the red haired male stumbled, and collapsed, the one hundred puppets falling with him.

Kisame's eyes slightly widened, but they slowly closed, and he fell under the genjutsu as well.

"Bunch of pansies..." Kakuzu muttered. He yawned, and collapsed from exhaustion, as well.

Now it was only Naruto, Obito and Obito's master.

Not very long, I know. I'm sorry-ish. I just want to extend this story to 30+ chapters.

The techniques Tsuki-chan used can be found in the Narutopedia. Shousen Jutsu is the Mystical Palm Technique and the Chiyu no Chikara is Healing Power used to regenerate your body without using any hand seals.

Peace! :3
