Serah Farron: N-Nii-sama?
Darthemius:…
Serah: So you… from the beginning!
Darthemius: Yeah… I destroyed the old world… and created… a new world… (Closes his eyes)
Serah: AH! NII-SAMA! NO! PLEASE, OPEN YOUR EYES!
Darthemius: PFFFFFFFFFT! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA !
Naruto: CUUUUUUT! (Getting out of his chair) What the fuck is wrong with you, man! This is the last part with you as an acting character, and all you need to do is fucking stay dead!
Darthemius: Kh… Kh… Sorry, man. It's just I really can't stand the look on her face when she screams all that crap.
Serah: Oh come on, Darth! We've been shooting this scene for over two hours. I'm tired of yelling so much.
Darthemius: You were perfectly fine with yelling last night.
Serah: That has nothing to do with this…
Wesker: Enough, guys! Just get this damn episode over with! Seph and I already got the booze ready.
Sephiroth: Exactly. Get a grip, Darth. You weren't laughing like that when we brought John Cena to play Clovis.
Darthemius: Yeah, that one was fun… Why did we do that, by the way?
Serah: So you could shoot him in the head.
Darthemius: Oh, sure…
Naruto: Alright, one more time. And no laughing!
Darthemius: Shit, I can't man! I need a short break.
Naruto: Tch, fine. Fifteen minutes break. But after that we finish the damn scene, or I'll kick all of your asses! Got it?
Everyone: Y-Yeah…
Naruto: Then what the hell are you waiting for?! Go take your damn break!
Darthemius: Whew, that was close… (Turning to camera) Well hello, guys. And if you were wondering, no I'm not dead. I'm just really busy with work lately. Still, I managed to get this chapter for you. But apparently there are some bad news… yeah some REALLY BAD NEWS!
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm sorry guys, but I'm afraid I'll have to ABANDON this story and delete it immediately!
Yeah, you heard me. I'm abandoning this story as soon as this chapter comes out! The sole reason for that is… Well, you have to forgive me for my straightness, but I'll say it the way I'm used to.
You see, several days ago some piece of trash named Vairy contacted me, saying that it is impossible for Naruto to get Sharingan through blood transition.
…
After reading it… and rereading it for twenty more times I was like: Holy fucking shit! Holy fucking shit! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! FUCK ME IN THE ASS WITH A DIRTY SPOON! How could I be so blind?! Of course that couldn't happen! And then I thought hell, I can't write this story any longer after I was shown my foolish wrong ways! So I'm abandoning it. Yeah…
…
And if you believed that, you're as dumb as that Vairy. To be honest with you, I really was like: HOLY FUCKING SHIT! But not for the reason I told you before. I just can't believe how stupid can a person be to point others what can or cannot happen in a fucking FICTION UNIVERSE! Actually I fell off my chair when I read this:
"So, basic genetics lesson one oh one. KG's are activated through the HOMOLOGOUS pairing of RECESSIVE genes. In order to ACTIVATE doujutu or a KG in general, you must have the genetic combination to unlock it. Now, in the case of transplants, the doujutsu is already ACTIVATED and hence once it is placed in the RECIEPENT'S body will then work for them. HOWEVER, the RECIPENT'S body will not be MADE for the DOUJUTSU and will THUS face a BIGGER strain when the DOUJUTSU IS IN USE.
Now, make sense? Good."
Well? Did… that make sense? Well, it sure as hell didn't for me. Though I sure had a good laugh for about thirty minutes. Yeah, that phrase made my day. So I said to her… Yeah, she admitted she was actually a she… Anyway, I said that I will definitely be putting this in my next ANs and even mention her name. By the way, she changed the name after that to… Drossel Keinz. Another stupid name if you ask me.
So yeah, I was lectured by a yaoi fangirl about Narutoverse. A really good reason for me to abandon my work… Just not enough. To be completely honest, this was my first time meeting a person, who didn't understand the phrase: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!
Also there were three other imbeciles, who pointed that I made a super powered cliché Sasuke out of Naruto in this one.
Okay… One wrote a story where Yondaime sealed an ULTRA-MEGA-SUPER bloodline in Naruto that will… oh yeah, rock the Elemental Nations.
Another enjoys immortal Harry Potter stories.
And the third signed as Sasuke Uchiha…
Fucking hypocrites, at least be honest. If you simply don't like the story, just fucking say so. Don't search for reasons.
Now let ME tell you something. And I'm referring to everyone right now. Did I make a cliché story? Damn right, I did. Discarded main character with a sister/brother present. A cliché? For sure. But at least this is the one I like.
Did I make Naruto look like Sasuke? Perhaps. If you believe I did, then know that it was not intentionally made. In fact, there are big differences. The thing I always hated about Sasuke is that he's a pawn. Naruto here is anything but that.
But! It doesn't matter what I did! Instead let me tell you what I didn't do!
Naruto is not good.
Naruto doesn't want to become the Hokage.
Naruto is not using Kage Bunshins.
I hate these three the most. They are way much more overused than everything else. In fact, I'm not even following the main story line every step of the way! I mean I actually try to change something, and not just create a character who simply knows what's going to happen next and deals with it like it's nothing.
Well, if you don't agree with everything I said, it's your right. I'm not making anyone believe in my words, or read my stories for that matter. I'm writing them simply for your enjoyment. And if you don't like what you're reading, there is always a red button in the right upper corner of your monitor.
As for all of you, my good people who actually like what they're reading here, let me make a real huge announcement for you. From this very chapter, the plot will move completely off main course. In fact, I see the ending not too far away.
Anyway, enjoy the chapter and…
Naruto: Break's over! Get your asses here!
Darthemius: And wish me luck…
...
Chapter twenty three: Did you miss me?
"Shin-ne!" – talks.
'Nah' – thoughts.
"You will." – Demonic/jutsu.
...
"Ah, at last you're here!" The girl said, running a hand through her long red hair and smiling evilly from ear to ear. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this…"
Tsubaki's eyes narrowed. "I take it you're Tayuya."
"Ho?" Said girl tilted her head to the side slightly. "And how do you know that?"
"I have my ways." Tsubaki said, drawing a Hiraishin kunai. "Do not kill her, she knows where Jin is."
"Hahaha!" Tayuya laughed at that. "I know that being underestimated is good and all, but that's just insulting! Or do you actually think that I'm just stupid enough to come here alone, knowing what the opposition will be?"
"Do not be reckless, Tsubaki." Hinata stepped beside Hokage's daughter. "Remember, she uses sound based genjutsu."
Tayuya raised an eyebrow. "Genjutsu?! Your information is way outdated." She said, drawing two swords from her back. "Now I prefer close combat."
"Do not be stupid, girl." Jiraiya spoke. "It's one against seven; you have no chance to win."
"Hmhmhmhmhm…" Tayuya chuckled, taking a battle stance. "Who said I'm aiming to win? I just need to distract you morons long enough for them to finally extract Ichibi from that red haired piece of trash."
'Gaara!' Tsubaki thought with wide eyes. Instantly she drew the sword of Raijin and one burst of speed later she already clashed it against Tayuya's blades.
"Ha, that was easy." Tayuya stated with a smirk. "Having some anger issues?"
"You're way too careless." Yugao said, appearing behind Tayuya and attempting to cut her in two.
Said girl only snorted and quickly somersaulted backwards over ANBU commander's head. "Katon: Okibi Juumonji! (Blazing Fire Cross)" She shouted still in midair, bringing both of her swords together and swinging them simultaneously.
"Tch." Tsubaki hissed, using Hiraishin to escape two deadly blazing shockwaves.
"Ah, Hiraishin." Tayuya said, landing on the ground gracefully. "Never thought I'll see it so fast from you, Namikaze."
"I see you know who I am as well."
"Of course." Tayuya smirked. "We all know who you are, Namikaze. Especially me."
Tsubaki's eyebrows furrowed. "What do you mean by that?"
Instead of response Tayuya took out a small notebook. "See this? This is my 'Tough bitches to kill' list. And your name is proudly holding the second place."
"Second?" Jiraiya wondered. "Who's the first then?"
Tayuya's smile fell at this. "The biggest bitch in the world. I once tried to take her down but failed. In fact our fight slowly turned into sex, and she beat me there as well." She sighed. "I need more training…"
"Oh my…"
Tsubaki turned around in anger. "Jiraiya-sensei!"
"W-What?" The sannin asked, quickly hiding his own notebook behind his back.
"We're on a mission damn it!" The girl shouted. "Do that on your free time!"
"Fine, fine…" Jiraiya waved his hand. "Okay, here's what we'll do. Tsubaki-chan and Yugao will attack her head on with swords. Kakashi and I will cover you with ninjutsu. Hinata, once you see an opening, finish it with your juuken."
"Hai!"
Tayuya rolled her eyes. "You do know that I've heard everything, right?"
"You talk too much." Yugao exclaimed, rushing forward with amazing speed.
CLANG.
"Now we're talking!" Tayuya said joyfully, parrying ANBU commander's strike with one of her blades. "I was starting to get bored. Bring it!" She exclaimed, pushing Yugao away.
"Katon: Goukakyu no jutsu!" Kakashi shouted from the right, sending a large fireball Tayuya's way.
"Fire?!" Said red head exclaimed in amusement. "How stupid."
"Wha…?" Even Jiraiya stopped what he was doing when Tayuya suddenly raised her arm and… stopped the fireball with it.
"Using fire against me is the dumbest thing you can possibly do." Tayuya spoke confidently, compressing the fireball to the size of an orange. "Weak… try mine." With that she raised her hand again and threw the fireball at… Hinata, who was silently approaching from behind.
Hyuga's eyes widened when a small fireball was thrown at her. What could surprise her so much? No, not the sheer fact that she has been discovered, but the actual speed of the fireball. What's worse, she was moving at high speed herself and couldn't dodge in time. However…
"Hakkesho Kaiten!" Hinata quickly span around, deflecting Tayuya's projectile with her chakra. But then…
"Look out!"
CLANG.
Two swords clashed right in front of Hinata just as she stopped.
"Hn, not bad bitch." Tayuya stated with a smirk, locking eyes with Tsubaki. "But still useless."
Tsubaki's eyes widened when Tayuya's body suddenly burned to a crisp. "Shunshin!"
"Nice guess." Tayuya confirmed, cutting Hinata's back and sending her face first into a nearby tree with a hard kick to the spine.
"Gah!" The Hyuga heiress gasped in pain.
"One down. Six to…"
"Raikiri!"
"Woah!" Tayuya somersaulted, narrowly evading Kakashi's signature jutsu. "That was way too close, dipshit! Didn't your mother teach you not to hit a fucking lady?!"
Kakashi turned to her with both eyes opened. "No, she never mentioned a fucking lady."
"Well, that's too sad because…"
"Rasengan!"
"Shit!" Tayuya jumped high in the air immediately, but…
"Boushi Ryute-ru!"
"Ah!" Tayuya gasped as Tsubaki's kick sent her into the ground. "Fuck…" She sat up quickly and looked around down on herself in panic. "Where the fuck is it?"
"Crescent Moon Dance!"
Tayuya turned around sharply, seeing Yugao jumping at her, leaving a couple of afterimages on her way.
"Tch." Tayuya gritted her teeth, sheathing one of her swords.
"DIE!" Yugao shouted, bringing her sword down, but…
"Back to you, bitch!" Tayuya yelled, pushing Yugao's sword aside and lashing out with her free right hand... blazing free right hand. "Inferuno Rendan!"
"Yugao!" Kakashi shouted as his ex-subordinate was thrown high in the air.
"Gh." Said woman grunted in pain, trying to remove fire from her clothes, but…
"I'm not done yet, bitch!"
Yugao's eyes widened when not one, but five Tayuyas appeared around her in a burst of flames and started to attack her with barrage of punches and kicks from all sides.
Jiraiya gritted his teeth. "I can't take her down; I will harm Yugao as well."
"Don't worry, I'm on it." Tsubaki stated, disappearing in a flash of red.
"Die!" All Tayuyas exclaimed at the same time. "Deruta…"
But before she could finish five flashes of red appeared around her.
"Wha…?" Was the only thing Tayuya could say before all of her copies were cut down. Even she herself got a nasty cut on her left hand. "Grr…"
"It's over." Jiraiya stated confidently. "Hari Jizo!"
"Fuck!" Tayuya cursed as her body was caught in Jiraiya's long grey hair. She tried to struggle for about ten seconds, but then… smirked. "Well shit."
The sannin nodded. "Sakura, get Hinata and Yugao back on their feet quickly, we have very little time to spare."
"Hai!" Pink haired girl responded and began her job immediately.
"Now you…" Jiraiya brought Tayuya closer to him. "Where is the Kazekage?"
Tayuya snorted. "Jin was right, you are an idiot."
Sannin's eyes narrowed. "You're not so strong for Kisaragi's partner."
Tayuya shrugged. "Well, at least I'm better at giving head than certain someone who…" But then she was suddenly cut off when a red chakra hand wrapped around her entire body.
"Ah!" Jiraiya yelped, retracting his hair quickly. "Tsubaki-chan, wait!" He tried to shout, but…
SPLASH.
The huge red fist clenched, crushing probably every bone in Tayuya's body.
"We have wasted enough time as it is." Tsubaki said darkly retracting her hand. But when she did that, everyone's eyes widened.
Instead of Tayuya a completely unknown man fell down on the ground limply.
"What?" Tsubaki rushed forward in shock. "Who is it?"
"No idea…" Jiraiya muttered, looking down.
"I know him." Chiyo said, walking beside them. "It's captain Yuura, a jounin of our village."
"Oh, I see…" Jiraiya said calmly, but then quickly turned to Chiyo in anger. "Where the hell have you been during the fight?!"
The old woman waved her hand dismissively. "This was not my fight."
"What?! Then why the hell did you come at all?!"
"Jiraiya-sensei." Tsubaki said dangerously, interrupting hermit's rant. "Enough. I don't care why she came, but what I do care is finding Jin and Gaara. And right now I'm trying really hard to calm myself. So either you help Sakura or be quiet."
Jiraiya's eyebrows rose in shock. "Damn, when did you become so forceful?!"
"Jiraiya-sensei."
"Hai, hai I'm shutting up…"
Akatsuki's hideout…
"So? How was the fight?" Pain asked in his low voice.
Tayuya slowly opened her eyes. "Meh, I was expecting more."
"And the jinchuuriki?"
Red haired girl paused. "Apparently she already knows how to use her biju. Oh, and one more thing. During the fight she planted one of her Hiraishin seals on me and I couldn't find it. I recommend not getting close to her."
"I see… And what about Jiraiya."
"Hn, now that one was strange." Tayuya said. "It looked like he was not even trying. I think he was trying to stay out of jinchuriki's way."
"Interesting." Pain grunted, and his eyes narrowed. "But all their efforts were in vain."
THUD.
Gaara's body fell on the ground with no traces of chakra and life inside.
"The sealing is complete." The leader stated. "Deidara, Sasori, Tayuya and Kisaragi. You will deal with our guests. The rest of you, dismissed." And with that he disappeared along with all other silhouettes.
"Fucking finally." Naruto stated, jumping down and sitting on a rock. "I can't wait to stretch my dick…"
"Grr…"
He slowly turned around to see a very scowling Tayuya.
"My legs! I meant my legs!"
"Tch." Tayuya spat. "I'm fine with you stretching your dick if it is with me."
Naruto grinned. "Of course, babe! Who else I could be stretching it with, these two?!"
"Hey! Are you implying that I'm not pretty enough, un?!" Deidara asked in anger.
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "No, I'm implying that you're a man."
"Oh… Well yeah, of course!"
"Are you sure he is a man?" Tayuya asked skeptically.
"I wonder…" Jin said, standing up. "However… There is one thing I want to make clear to all of you." He turned around, observing everyone in the cave with blazing Mangekyo Sharingan in his eyes. "The jinchuriki is mine. Understood?"
"H-Hai…"
Outside…
"Looks like a five way barrier…" Jiraiya muttered, looking at the huge boulder that was blocking their way into the cave. "The first seal is here, which means four others must be five hundred meters away in four different directions. North, west, east and south most likely." He looked closely. "Seems like all five must be removed simultaneously. Then the boulder must be broken quickly because…"
"Wait!" Tsubaki suddenly interrupted. "You're wrong, sensei. It's a trap."
Jiraiya turned to her in confusion. "What makes you think that?"
"There." Red haired girl pointed at the middle of the seal. "It's a double layer seal. Hmm… Pretty clever. The entire trap is based on a thought that we'll try to look for an advanced barrier when it only takes a combination of handseals to open it. And the handseals are…" She paused. "There, I've got it."
"Are you sure about it?" Kakashi asked.
The girl grinned at him. "Please, you forgot who my sensei was?"
"Point taken…"
"Now before I open the entrance there is something I must ask." Tsubaki turned around, facing the entire group. "If Jin really is inside I must ask you to not attack him no matter what the circumstances are…"
"Say what?!" Yugao shouted. "I came on this mission for the sole purpose to see that bastard dead! And if you think for one second that…!"
"Yugao-san." Tsubaki said dangerously as her eyes turned red for a second. "This is for your safety. No one in this group can attack him and possibly survive except for me and maybe Jiraiya-sensei."
Sennin's mouth opened at the insult. "What do you mean maybe?!"
"Please, sensei…"
"Fine, but we'll have a discussion about this later."
Tsubaki sighed. "Let me make one thing perfectly clear. No one will attack Jin until I'm done speaking with him. Understood?"
"Tch." Yugao spat. "I've been waiting for three years for this. I can wait ten more minutes."
"Good." The red head nodded. "Now stand back, I will open the barrier." With that she did several handseals and the boulder indeed moved from its spot.
"Inside, quick!" Jiraiya commanded, running inside along with everyone else.
"Ha! Look at this, danna! They actually got inside without breaking the barrier!" Unknown voice said from the darkness.
"Who's there?" Kakashi asked.
"What? No one's here, un." The same voice answered.
"I doubt they're this stupid, Deidara." Another unknown voice spoke.
"I wouldn't be surprised…" Now that voice was familiar.
"Tayuya." Tsubaki hissed. "Where is Gaara? Where is Jin?!"
THUD.
Something suddenly fell on the ground between Akatsuki and Konoha's party. And that something just happened to be a body…
"There is no need to yell." Another body landed gracefully next to the first one. "Here we both are."
"Jin..." Tsubaki whispered.
"In the flesh." Said blonde said, raising his hands slightly. He looked just like before… only taller and in Akatsuki's signature cloak. "Did you miss me?"
'Calm down. Just calm down…' The girl told herself, trying to stabilize her heart rate. "What… What did you do to Gaara?"
Naruto smirked. "Take a good damn guess." He replied, kicking Gaara in the side.
"Gh." Tsubaki's fists clenched.
"Suppress it, Tsubaki." Jiraiya said harshly. "You can't let it slip now."
"Yeah… I know." The girl took a deep breath.
"Oh? Anger issues again?" Tayuya said, adding more fuel to the fire.
"Enough." Jin exclaimed to her surprise. "Go. You know what to do."
Tayuya's eyebrows rose. "Now? But I haven't even…!"
Naruto looked at her over his shoulder. "Shut up and do what I say."
"Tch." The girl stood up slowly. "Hai, hai… Slave driver…" She said, disappearing in a burst of flames.
"Hey! Where did you send her, un?" Deidara asked.
"None of your damn business, un." Naruto replied harshly, turning back to Konoha group. "Now I believe all of you have business with me except for…" He looked at Yugao. "Who the hell are you?"
Woman's jaw fell. "You… You don't even remember me?"
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Should I?"
"You… YOU BASTARD!" Yugao screamed, drawing her sword. "You ruined my life, you traitorous fuck! And you don't even remember my name!"
"Umm… Yeah."
"Yugao, no!" Kakashi shouted, but…
"Ultimate Dance of the Crescent Moon!" Purple haired kunoichi suddenly split into four and lashed out at Naruto from four different sides. "DIE!" Dour swords were brought down together and…
CLANG.
"Kokuujin Yukikaze." Naruto said calmly, standing behind already single Yugao with a sheathed sword in his left hand. "Please take note that I hate killing women."
SPLASH.
"AAAAH!" Yugao screamed as a fountain of blood erupted from her chest.
"You know, I actually remembered her." Naruto stated. "She still needed to work on her left side…"
Suddenly…
"JIN!"
The blond turned around only to come face to face with a very angry Tsubaki.
"Oh shi…" He couldn't even finish his speech before both of them disappeared in a flash of red.
"Damn it!" Jiraiya cursed. "I must find her! You'll have to take the rest, Kakashi!"
The jounin certainly didn't like the idea. "Wait, Jiraiya-sama, you're needed here most. Besides, Tsubaki-chan is tough; she won't go down that easily."
"No, you don't get it, Kakashi. It's not her physical well-being that I'm concerned about… But you're right. Let's finish this quickly…"
Some nearby field…
"Oppa!" Naruto exclaimed, flipping back on his feet. "Missed me that much? Couldn't wait to be alone with me?" He asked with a smirk.
"No, I couldn't." Tsubaki replied, taking out the sword of Raijin and activating it.
"Ho-ho! So you've kept it…" His smirk widened. "As a reminder of me no doubt."
Girl's eyes narrowed. "You're flattering yourself."
Naruto shrugged. "Of course. If I won't, then no one will." Then his smile fell. "Hn, judging by the expression on your face you have a lot of questions for me…"
"No, I've got only one." She interrupted. "Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why did you leave me? Why didn't you return?"
"Ha! But that's two different questions entirely." Naruto laughed. "Besides, return where? To Konoha? Please, why would I go there?! I have no more reasons to remain in that garbage dump you call your home."
"No reasons?!" Tsubaki shouted. "What about me?!"
Naruto waved his hand dismissively. "You're better off without me anyway."
"W-What?"
"Did you speak to your father?"
Tsubaki's eyes narrowed. "You mean to our father?"
"Hmhmhmhahahaha!" Naruto laughed lightly. "So he actually told you. And, what do you think?"
"What they did to you was wrong." She replied. "But that is not a reason to wish vengeance on the entire village. You…"
"Village?!" Naruto interrupted. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! When did you reach that conclusion?!"
"What?! But… But you killed a jounin!"
Naruto waved his hand again. "He was just standing in my way."
"And what about joining Akatsuki?"
"A means to an end. Just like it was with Konoha." Jin's smirk widened. "Besides, that was not even what I was asking about."
Tsubaki tilted her head to the side.
Naruto rolled his eyes. "I meant about us being brother and sister."
"Ah, that." Tsubaki paused. "You knew, right?"
"Sure."
"And why didn't you stop it?"
The blond shrugged. "What could I say, sorry we can't because I'm kind of your brother?" He smirked. "Besides, you're just too beautiful to resist and, considering other things I've done in my life, sleeping with my sister doesn't sound so horrible."
"I see…"
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Not the reaction I expected…"
"Oh? You wanted me to throw a fit?" Tsubaki asked with a smile.
"Actually… No, I really didn't."
Pause.
"What are you up to?"
"You know I can't tell you that."
Another pause.
"Fine then, why does Akatsuki want the biju?"
"Doesn't matter."
Tsubaki's eyebrows rose. "And what is that supposed to mean?"
Naruto smirked. "That means that whatever they wanted to do with biju… Let's just say they won't be in any condition to do anything…"
One mile away…
"And what do you think he meant by that?" Light Zetsu asked as he resurfaced from the ground.
"Are you stupid, or what?" Dark Zetsu replied. "It was obvious as day, he's going to betray us. The only thing I'm wondering about…"
"Wait. He knew he was going to be watched!" Light Zetsu exclaimed. "Why would he reveal his intentions?"
Dark Zetsu rolled his… eye. "Yes, that." He paused. "Jin Kisaragi is the most cunning bastard I have ever seen. There is no way he can screw up like that. He's up to something, but what?"
"Wait, did you hear that?"
"What?"
Both Zetsus stopped to listen.
"Sounds like… music."
Dark Zetsu's… eye widened. "Genjutsu!"
"Good guess, shithead."
"Tayuya!" Light Zetsu shouted. "What is the meaning of this?! Release us this instant!"
Tayuya walked in front of Zetsu and looked down at him in amusement. "Release you? Now why would I do something like this?"
"Makes sense." Dark Zetsu suddenly exclaimed. "You joined together with Kisaragi… No, wrong. You joined because of him. Obviously Akatsuki never had your loyalty to begin with. And if Kisaragi actually is a traitor." He smirked. "Then you're here to end me."
The girl tilted her head to the side. "Do you actually have two brains or something?"
"As a matter of fact, yes I do." Zetsu's smirk widened. "However there is a tiny little detail you have forgotten about. I am not alone, there are thousands more of me. And all of them…"
"Will be useless with you dead." Tayuya finished for him. "Don't worry, we thought about that too. And even if Madara somehow make them work with his Sharingan… Well, don't worry. We'll take care of it too."
Zetsu's eyes widened. "Wait! How do you know about…!"
"Good bye, Zetsu." Tayuya interrupted, grabbing Zetsu by the throat and throwing him up in the air. "Deruta Endo!"
"EEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Back with Naruto…
BLAST.
"Oppa!" Naruto smiled. "That was my due to leave. So with your excuse…" He turned around… only to feel the sword of Raijin close to his neck.
"I cannot allow it." Tsubaki said sternly. "You are a criminal now, Jin. And as a shinobi of Konohagakure no sato I'm placing you under arrest."
"Hmhmhmhmhm…" Jin chuckled. "You actually think you can do that?"
Tsubaki's eyes narrowed. "I know I can." She said. "And you know you can't escape from me… Naruto."
(Starting song: "Kouen" from Naruto Shippuuden OST 2)
Naruto's smile fell. "Naruto is dead. I am JIN KISARAGI!" He shouted, turning around and clashing swords with Tsubaki.
"Gh." The girl grunted, trying to push Jin back with both hands.
"Hmhmhm…" Naruto chuckled again, seeing her struggle. "Come now. You've been training for this and here I am. All you have to do is defeat me!" He said, pushing her away. "Hishouken!"
"Kikouken!"
CRASH.
Two projectiles met in midair, nullifying each other.
"Ho?" Naruto's eyebrows rose. "Picking up words from my book?"
"Yes, I do." Tsubaki said, taking out a single Hiraishin kunai. "That and more! Reverse Hiraishin no jutsu!"
"Reverse?" Naruto asked, blocking Tsubaki's sword slash from behind.
"Indeed." The girl smiled. "Now within kunai's range I can travel anywhere."
The blond nodded. "I see. Well that's good and all, but…" He suddenly disappeared in a flash of yellow. "I don't need them at all." Jin whispered in her ear.
"Tch." The girl hissed teleporting five feet away from him. "Stop playing with me, Jin!"
"Hahahahahaha!" Naruto laughed. "And what do you want me to do, kill you?"
"Take me seriously!" Tsubaki yelled, bringing her sword up.
"Hmm… Well, if you say so. Touga Hyojin!"
The red head quickly jumped to the side, dodging a massive wave of ice. "Such old tricks won't work against me, Jin."
"Ho?"
"Hijutsu: Dendou Kaze! (Electric wind)" Tsubaki shouted, bringing her arms together.
"Wha…?" Naruto asked in confusion as he suddenly found himself inside of a small tornado.
"Take this! Hijutsu: Genshiryoku Menkan! (Atomic Energy Discharge)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Jin screamed in pain as he was electrocuted by hundreds of small lightnings coming from the wind.
"Not yet!" Tsubaki exclaimed, going through another set of handseals. "Fuuton: Katto Nagare! (Cutting Stream)
"GUAH!" Naruto gasped as he was thrown back with a massive gust of wind.
"Huff… Huff… Had enough yet?" Tsubaki asked, trying to catch her breath.
"What do you think?" Sounded from… behind.
"Wha…?" Tsubaki asked in shock, only to find herself pinned to a tree. "Genjutsu."
"Indeed." Naruto smirked, looking down at her. "So you want to be taken seriously then? Very well, I'll give you what you want. Mangekyo Sharingan!"
Tsubaki's eyes widened when the world turned red and black. "W-Where are we?"
"Welcome, dear sister, in the world of Tsukiyomi." Naruto said, appearing out of thin air. "In this world I control everything. So I can actually make all kinds of things happen." He turned to her. "But for you… Oh, I have a perfect thing to show to you!"
Suddenly the world around them shifted.
"For the next twenty four hours you will live the life of one Uzumaki Naruto…"
"DEMON SPAWN!"
"YOU TOOK AWAY MY FAMILY!"
"DIE!"
"N-No…" Tsubaki whispered in horror.
"Have fun."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
BLAST.
"Fuck!" Naruto cursed as he was suddenly thrown back by a massive energy burst. "What the hell?"
"NARUTO!"
"Woah!" The blond could only say before he was roughly lifted by the throat. "Ts-Tsubaki?"
'Tsubaki' grinned evilly. "Not exactly." She said, slamming Naruto's back against the wall. "I thank you for creating this world, human. Out there you may be stronger than me, but here? Oh, you don't have my powers here."
"GUAH!" Naruto gasped as air was knocked out of him.
"I on the other hand do!" 'Tsubaki' stated, punching Naruto in the face.
"Cough…" Jin got back on his feet slowly. "Well say good bye to your temporary advantage! KAI!"
Nothing.
"What the hell?"
"Hmhmhmhmhm." 'Tsubaki' chuckled. "You won't be able to leave this world, Naruto. Not until your own designated time ends!"
Naruto's eyebrows rose. "Oh shit!"
"Nice said!" 'Tsubaki' said, clapping her hands. "Now allow me to show you what happens when you fuck with demons!"
"SHIT!"
Back in the real world…
"GUH!" Naruto gasped loudly, falling on his knees in exhaustion.
"Wh-What happened?" Tsubaki asked in confusion, still leaning on a tree with her back.
"I… I used my power to… weaken him…" Kyuubi said in her mind.
'Did you do it?'
"Yes… But he was too strong. I… I used too much… of my energy… You… will have to finish this fight… without my… help."
Tsubaki nodded. 'Okay, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.' She smiled. "So how was it, having your own jutsu backfiring?"
"Cough." Naruto spat some blood and smirked. "So… little girl thinks she can play with big boys?"
Tsubaki's eyes narrowed. "If you think that this is just a game for me, then you're terribly wrong, Jin." With that she brought the sword of Raijin in front of herself. "Dai roku-roku-roku kousoku kikan kaihou. Jigen kanshou kyosuu houjin tenkai!"
Naruto's eyebrow rose. "What the…?!"
"BureiBru kidou!" A huge energy surge erupted from Tsubaki's body, and when Naruto looked at her again… Well, nothing much was different. Only the sword of Raijin was now glowing blue instead of yellow. "Am I big enough now?"
"Hmhmhmhmhm…" Naruto chuckled and stood up slowly. "My, my! BlazBlue… I wonder where you got that."
"Jiraiya-sensei and I stumbled upon one of Orochimaru's abandoned hideouts." The girl explained. "Fortunately we were able to recover some information. Just enough to recreate the device."
"Oh really?" Jin grinned evilly. "And I guess you know what it does, right?"
"Yes." Tsubaki nodded. "It breaks the boundary between Kyuubi and me."
"Fascinating!" Naruto exclaimed. "And I assume you also know how it does that."
Tsubaki's eyes widened along with Naruto's grin.
"Yes, I thought so." The blond said, bringing his sword in front of himself in vertical position. "Allow me to show you then. How was it…? Oh yeah. Dai roku-roku-roku kousoku kikan kaihou. Jigen kanshou kyosuu houjin tenkai!"
"GAH!" Tsubaki suddenly gasped, clutching her stomach. "What… What is going on?"
"Hmhmhmhmhm… It happens when you're trying to stick your nose in what you don't understand. Code S.O.L. BureiBru kidou!"
"H-How…?" Tsubaki whispered in shock, looking down at her sword that was not glowing blue anymore… In fact, it was not glowing at all. The blade was deactivated.
"Well, I suppose I can tell you that." Naruto cracked his neck; his exhaustion long forgotten. "I am the one who created BlazBlue!"
Tsubaki's eyebrows rose. "But… But I saw…"
"Ah, you saw Orochimaru's journals…" The blond shook his head. "Foolish girl. And how would he know if it actually works?! Only I could use it, and only I know exactly how it works!" Then his eyes narrowed. "But to use that against me? I guess I wasn't harsh enough three years ago at the valley." He said, unsheathing his blade. "I told you not to stand in my way."
Girl's eyes widened.
"I told you not to stand in my way."
SLASH.
The memories of her dream flashed in her eyes, making her just sit there, paralyzed with fear.
'Am I… Am I going to…?'
"Fubuki!"
CLANG.
"What?" Naruto asked in confusion, looking at the strange cloud of smoke that blocked his strike. "What the fuck?"
But when the smoke cleared he withdrew his blade immediately.
"Eww! You could say you'll summon one of these disgusting creatures right there, Jiraiya. I wouldn't have attacked then."
"Strange hearing the word disgusting from a snake summoner." Jiraiya exclaimed, landing behind Jin along with Kakashi and Hinata.
The blond shrugged. "At least I'm not like you, morons. I mean Orochimaru always does his 'coming out of mouth' trick. I bet you have something like this too.
Jiraiya's eyebrows furrowed.
"Ha! I knew you do!" Jin stated happily.
"Are you okay, Tsubaki-chan?" Kakashi asked in concern.
"Y-Yeah, I guess…" The girl replied, regaining her composure.
Meanwhile Naruto turned away from her completely. "So… If you're here, then I guess these two clowns got what they deserved."
Tsubaki glared at his back. "Quite careless of you to turn your back to your opponent."
The blond grinned. "Not careless. I'm just giving you a free shot. Will you strike at my back?"
"Tch." The girl hissed… teleporting to her teammates in a flash of red.
"Hmhmhahaha…" Jin laughed. "I knew you wouldn't. I guess you really are unfit for shinobi life… But I still didn't receive an answer to my question. Actually, I take it back. I'm only interested in a blondie. What happened to him?"
Jiraiya smirked. "Worried about your friend?"
Jin smirked back. "Nah, I actually hope he died."
"What?" Kakashi exclaimed. "Why?"
"Che, he was just too loud." Naruto stated, waving his hand. "Besides, his debates about art always creped me the hell out and…"
"Wait." Tsubaki suddenly interrupted. "Why are you not interested in the other one?"
Naruto's smirk widened. "Oh, that's because he will die anyway…"
With Sakura, Chiyo and Sasori…
"How stupid. Wasting the serum on that girl." Sasori shook his head in disapproval. "Now there is no way you'll survive."
"Huff… Huff…" Chiyo panted heavily, looking down on Sakura's unconscious body. "Heh… Hehehehe… Stupid? I don't think so. After all, I knew I was going to die even before I went on that mission."
Sasori's eyes narrowed. "Then why would you…?"
SLASH.
"Wha…?" The puppet master stared down at his pierced chest in shock. Slowly he turned his head to look over his shoulder. "T-Tayuya… I should've known."
The red head smirked, withdrawing her blade from Sasori's chest. "Exactly, shithead. You should've… Then again it's my gain that you haven't."
"Gh… I know you're acting on Kisaragi's behalf." Sasori said, losing his energy quickly. "There is no way Akatsuki will let that slide."
Tayuya's smirk widened. "Oh, they wouldn't… if they learn about it that is."
"Heh, no way around that." The puppet master stated. "Zetsu is…"
"Already taken care of." Tayuya interrupted. "Thanks to you I may add. You and your exploding friend were a really good distraction."
"Tch…" Sasori's eyes started to close. "And I so wanted… to make a puppet… out of him… a shame…" And with that he finally fell down, lifeless and broken.
"Well, well…" Tayuya spoke, looking around the puppet graveyard. "I guess Jin was right after all. He actually was one big piece of trash."
"You're… Cough… You're Tayuya, right?" Chiyo asked.
"Bingo. Jin sends his regards by the way. And since our part of the deal is done…" She glanced at Sasori's broken puppet body. "We expect you to do the same."
"Heh, don't worry. I've stayed in this world way past my time."
"Good." Tayuya turned around to leave, but Chiyo stopped her.
"Wait. Just… Tell me what he's planning."
"Hahahahahahaha!" Tayuya laughed hard at this. "Fuck me if I know!" She stated, disappearing in a burst of flames.
Chiyo smiled sadly. "Poor girl… No matter." She placed her hand on Sakura's forehead. "Time to wake up, Sakura…"
Back with Naruto…
"So… you're killing off your allies now." Tsubaki said, glaring at her brother.
Said blond shrugged. "I'm a rattlesnake."
"That's your excuse for everything."
"Of course! Works all the time, besides…"
"Jin-kun." Hinata suddenly interrupted. "Hokage-sama sincerely wishes for your return. He promised to give you a fair trial and possible reinstatement if you'll come willingly."
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Oh, hello Hinata. I have to admit I almost forgot you're there. Looks like you actually improved your speech, well done."
Hinata's eyebrows furrowed. "Indeed. I did just what you told me."
"Oh really?" Jin asked in amusement. "Did you actually tell Yondaime to go fuck himself like I asked?"
"No, I didn't."
The blond shook his head. "I guess the improvement can only go so far…"
"I guess I should inform you that I belong in ANBU now."
"ANBU you say?" Naruto said, running a hand through his hair. "You mean second in command to the woman I just killed?"
Hinata's eyes widened. "How do you know that?! It's a top secret information available only to…"
"Enough." Tsubaki said, raising her hand. "He's a rattlesnake."
Naruto's grin went to his ears. "Finally you remembered! About damn time!"
"Hinata, do you remember our promise?"
Raven haired girl nodded. "Of course." She replied, taking a juuken stance.
"Then let's kick his ass and be done with it!" With that Tsubaki took out four kunais and threw them in four different sides. "Fuuinjutsu: Jigen Chacha!" (Dimensional disruption)
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Was that supposed to do anything?"
Instead of responding Tsubaki placed her still not working sword back in her pouch and took out two kunais. "Be careful everyone. I have just taken away everyone's ability to use instant transportation. That means you won't be able to use even kawarimi right now."
Kakashi's both eyes widened. "Why did you do that? You just left us with a huge disadvantage."
"No, she did the right thing." Jiraiya countered. "Without that the fight would've ended without even starting."
"Nicely done!" Naruto said clapping. "But guess what, you can't take away my speed!" With that he rushed forward at insane speed and brought his katana right down on Kakashi.
"Damn." The copy ninja was only saved because he wisely decided to uncover his second eye earlier. Ducking under the slash he actually managed to also throw a pair of kunais at Jin's head.
"Naïve." Said blond replied, evading both knives by tilting his head to the side.
"Disperse!" Jiraiya commanded. "Attack him from all sides!"
"Ultimate Rasengan!" Tsubaki rushed at her brother from the left.
"Oh shit!" Naruto exclaimed, somersaulting backwards. "That was a big one…"
"Hakkesho Kaiten!"
"Wha…?" Naruto looked down. "Oh fuck!"
He was about to land on one of Hyuga's signature jutsus… and landed.
"Ahhh!" Jin gasped as he was thrown away into a tree. "Damn, that was painful…" He exclaimed, slowly getting up from his knees.
"Katon: Goukakyu no jutsu!"
"Katon: Karyuu Endan!"
Kakashi and Jiraiya attacked from back and front sides.
"Tch. To hell with defense!" Naruto exclaimed, rushing straight at Jiraiya. "Touga Hyojin!"
"Oh crap!" Jiraiya exclaimed as a huge wave of ice pierced his stream of fire in two and continued to approach him. "Hari Jizo!" With that his hair wrapped around his entire body, blocking the ice effectively. But…
"Hyoku Getsumei!" A huge arrow of ice followed. "Block that, you piece of shit!"
Jiraiya stood his ground, believing his shield to protect him again… Tsubaki however knew it won't happen.
"Kinjutsu: Enma Tate!"
"Ho?" Jin watched, without any amusement now, how his ice arrow crushed against a shield of red energy. "I guess you are skilled enough to play with big boys."
"Tell me that when I beat you!" Tsubaki shouted. "Fuuton: Kamikaze no Tsurugi!"
"What the…?" Naruto exclaimed in confusion when several wind blades appeared around him. "Oh damn…"
"Attack!"
"Tch." Naruto's hand glowed red. "Shouheki Koshou!" (Barrier break) Naruto waved his hand to the side, creating a shockwave in all directions and efficiently obliterating all of Tsubaki's swords. "Heh, too bad girl."
Tsubaki smiled at him. "That was not meant to hit you."
"Wha…?"
"Hakke Rokujouyonshou!"
"Oh shit!" Naruto turned around sharply just to receive first two strikes.
"Nishou! Yonshou! Hachishou! Jirokushou! Sanjunishou! Hakke Rokujouyonshou!" Hinata shouted, completing her combination.
"Ah, damn…" Naruto grunted, falling on his back and trying to stand up as fast as he could.
'That won't hold him.' Jiraiya thought, assessing the situation. "Doton: Yomi Numa!"
With intense pain all over his body Naruto didn't even notice how he started drowning into Jiraiya's swamp.
"Tsubaki-chan!" The sannin yelled. "This is our only chance! Use that jutsu!"
Girl's eyes widened. "But… I can't use it on Jin!"
"Believe me, it won't be enough to kill him." Jiraiya stated. "However if we don't finish this now he'll bring out the big guns and then we're done for!"
Tsubaki frowned. "I… I'm sorry, Jin." She whispered, raising her right hand high in the air. 'Kyuubi,I'll need your power for that jutsu.'
"Very well… However I won't be able to even protect you afterwards. You know that."
'I do… But I really have no choice.'
"Alright, it will be as you wish."
Immediately two red hands shot out of Tsubaki's back and moved around her own.
"What is she doing, Jiraiya-sama?" Kakashi asked.
The hermit smirked at this. "Just wait a second. You won't believe your eyes."
Meanwhile Naruto finally recovered from Hinata's attack and…
"Oh, crap! Do you have any idea how much these boots cost?!" He said, looking up… and noticing Tsubaki. "What the hell is that?!"
"Please forgive me, Jin." Tsubaki said grimly. "Fuuton: Rasenshuriken!"
Kakashi's eyes widened. "She… She actually did that! She has surpassed sensei!"
"HAAAAA!" Tsubaki yelled, throwing her technique straight at her brother.
"Hmm…" Said brother closed his eyes. "Very well then."
'There is no way he can escape!' Jiraiya concluded.
And indeed he didn't. He just raised his hand and the technique disappeared right before hitting him.
"WHAT?" The sannin shouted in shock. "This is not possible!"
"Jin…" Tsubaki whispered in awe.
"You wanted me to get serious, right?" He slowly opened his eyes to everyone's shock. "Congratulations, your wish is fulfilled." The blond raised his right hand. "Bansho Ten'in!"
"Kyah!" Hinata screamed as she was suddenly pulled towards Jin.
"One." Naruto said stoically, kicking Hinata through several trees.
"It can't be!" Jiraiya exclaimed. "Rinnegan! Kakashi, we must…!"
"Raikiri!"
"No, wait!" Jiraiya tried to shout, but it was too late.
Kakashi struck with his sparking hand only to meet Naruto's hand halfway.
"What?" The jounin stared in shock how his jutsu was quickly absorbed in Naruto's hand.
"I've had enough of you." The blond stated, grabbing Kakashi's arm and snapping it.
"AAAAAAHHH!"
"Kakashi!"
"Shut up." Naruto grunted, hitting the back of jounin's head and throwing his unconscious body away. "Now you." He said, turning to Jiraiya.
"Tsubaki, run! We… WOAH!"
"Shinra Tensei!" Naruto shouted, blasting Jiraiya away for almost one hundred meters.
"Jiraiya-sensei!" Tsubaki shouted, only to find herself pinned to a by the throat once again. "Gh." She hissed, staring right into Naruto's eyes defiantly.
"Not a bad jutsu." Jin said as his eyes returned to normal. "But you have a long way to go."
"Cough… You know I won't give up, Jin."
Naruto looked in her eyes for a moment, and then… released her with a sigh. "Damn you're stubborn."
"Of course…" The girl stood up. "It's still not too late for…"
"Shut up!" Naruto snapped at her, pinning her back to the tree once again. Only this time it was by simply grabbing her shoulders. "How can't you understand?!"
She looked at him in confusion. "What are you talking about? What can't I understand?!"
"Tch." Jin hissed. "I knew you won't take a hint. I left so you could move on. I covered my traces enough so you couldn't follow. Shit, I even killed those two so you wouldn't even think about going after me!"
Tsubaki tilted her head. "Two?"
"Well yeah, that guy at the gates and that fatso."
"You didn't kill Choji he survived."
"Oh… Well, at least I tried." He shook his head. "Doesn't matter! What matters is that I joined Akatsuki so I could keep you safe. I uncovered my identity, placing a target on my back instead of yours! And you're running around throwing high level jutsus around without knowing a single thing!"
Tsubaki's eyes widened. "You… You did it all for m-me?"
Naruto smiled sadly. "Who else? All my purposes were gone with Itachi…"
"But why then!" The girl shouted. "Why didn't you tell me?!"
"I thought that's simple." He replied. "So you wouldn't seek me out."
Tsubaki's lips started to shake. "J-Jin…"
"Nothing awaits me in the place where I'm going. My story won't have a happy ending. But you…" Naruto leaned closer. "You will not share my fate."
"I…" She leaned closer as well… but Naruto suddenly pulled away and turned around.
"Wake up your team and go." He said, looking away from her. "When this is all over you won't have to worry about me anymore."
"Wait!" Tsubaki screamed. "Wait, please! Don't leave me again! I lived for three years waiting for this day! You can't leave like that! At least… At least tell me where to find you when it will be over?"
Naruto looked down smirking. "You won't be able to reach there…"
"NO!" The girl rushed forward and hugged him from behind. "I won't let you! I'll…"
"You'll make it." Jin replied. "I know you will, I have faith in you." And with that he disappeared right in her arms in a flash of yellow.
"H-How…?" The girl whispered, checking if her barrier was still in place.
It was.
"He… He could leave anytime." She looked up. "Jin…"
Back with Naruto…
"Meh, girls sure love with their ears." Naruto muttered, cracking his neck. "So? How are our friends?"
"What do you think?" Was Tayuya's short reply.
"Dead."
"Exactly."
"Great. What about our dear friend Deidara?"
"Hmm…" The girl paused. "I have found his arm. So it's either he was completely destroyed or he ran away."
"Nah." Jin waved his hand. "His arm would be gone too if he was destroyed. The fucker is still alive. No matter, I will just let someone else take care of him. Maybe our old friend Orochimaru."
"Good idea… So, how did it go with that bitch?"
Naruto smirked. "Oh, you'd like to know that, would you?"
"Yes." Tayuya crossed her arms. "Well?"
"Exactly the way I wanted."
The girl tilted her head to the side. "And details?"
Naruto's smirk widened. "Nah, not telling."
"Tch, asshole." The red head spat. "So, what should I do now?"
"Oh yeah. You're to move on with Hidan and Kakuzu." The blond stated. "Meanwhile I have other business to take care of…"
Tayuya's eyes narrowed. "Don't tell me it's her again!"
Naruto rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on! She just asked me for a favor!"
"Oh yeah, I've seen her favors!" Tayuya shouted, blushing a little. "Even experienced them once…"
"Then you should know why I can't refuse."
"Tch, horny asshole." Tayuya hissed getting up. "Be careful, Jin."
"You be careful." Jin replied. "And if things go out of hand, you always have that."
"Sigh… Fine, I guess I'll see you in a few weeks…"
...
And that's it for now.
Fuck like hell, sleep well and drink cola… even in your sleep.
Darthemius.
