Chapter 53 Counter attack
"Hello Hidan." stated Choji as he looked down at the sliver haired man who had his hair slick back.
"I remember you." snapped Hidan's head, which had made it though years without sunlight, thanks to the immortal justus he was still as alive as he was the day he was put in the ground. He appeared to be nothing more then bones wrapped with skin around it with a pair of eyes looking out "You where the fat fucker who was with the guy who put me in this hole."
"Yes, I was but we need you now." stated Choji
"I will kill you!" yelled Hidan
"How would you like a chance to get out of that hole and have the chance to kill anyone you meet?" asked Choji
"Anyone?" asked Hidan
"The human race is under attack by demon races." stated Choji "They even have my sensei the one you thought you killed."
"They took away one of my kills!" yelled Hidan "Lord Jashin will not stand for that."
"Jashin?" asked the other Leaf Ninja
"His religion that demands he kills anyone in his way." explained Choji before looking at Hidan "I am giving you a chance to kill anyone in your way and be seen as a hero?"
"I don't care about being a hero, they took away one of my kills." stated Hidan "They must die for taking my kill."
"That is what we want." stated Choji "That is what we need you to do."
"Then put me back together and then let me lose on the world." stated Hidan
"Alright, we will get you out of there." answered Choji "As long as you don't kill any humans, any demons are free game."
"Very well, I the demons have shamed me in the eyes of lord Jashin I will spare humans to kill them." stated Hidan
Hours later and almost a thousand miles away the sun was rising over the southwest mountain range known as the Burning Sun mountain range after the fire red stones that could be found multiple places over the mountains. Anyone from Earth country would have laughed at calling these a series of low tree covered mountains which ran along the border of river and fire country, mountains but with some a few thousand feet off sea level they were the highest points in fire country.
Neji, Tenten, Kiba and a large group of villagers and ninjas moved up into one of the medium sized mountains overlooking a small river valley. This area had been used as a center of logging for decades and there were several old logging camps some which had been abounded almost fifty years after the area had been over logged giving the trees time to grow back.
"Alright we are here." stated Neji as they entered an area of thick young trees located about halfway up the mountain top.
"Neji I need to talk to you." said Kiba as he walked up to the man in charge of this group
"What is it?" asked Neji
"Some of the other ninjas including myself want to start fighting back." stated Kiba
"We need to protect these villagers." stated Neji
"No…we need to give them something to hope for." answered Kiba as Neji looked out over the tired faces; they had a look of pure defeat on them. "We need to start striking back."
"What do you want?" whispered Neji
"Let me take twenty five ninja and start hitting back against them." answered Kiba "If they are doing the same thing they did in Wind and Earth country they have teams out searching for humans. We can hit those teams and get away fine."
"You can go under a few conditions." stated Neji
"What?" asked Kiba
"First you have to check in every hour with a code word, if you don't check in for five hours in a row we will assume you where taken out and move to a different location." said Neji as Kiba nodded his head "Second you must be back within four days or else we will leave this location."
"Understandable." stated Kiba
"The last thing is I can't spare twenty five ninjas until I know this area is safe you can have twelve." explained Neji "Maybe once you get back in four days I can give you the number you ask."
"I may not like it but ok, you have a deal." stated Kiba as he went out to get his forces.
Meanwhile Hinata Hyuuga stood in the bathroom looking at herself in the mirror it had become a habit of hers ever time she went to the bathroom she would check the progress of the transformation. Sometimes it was nothing had changed other times things had changed, the dark blue fur which had started out as a thin strip at the back of her neck had expanded over the hours, like a slow moving tide it was working its way down her back, already it was nearing the small of her back but it hadn't moved to her front. Suddenly she felt the need to throw up as she moved toward the toilet, she heaved as her body tried to get rid of something. Her white eyes widened as she saw her own teeth land in the toilet with a ring, she kept throwing up until all 32 teeth where in the toilet water. For a moment she just looked at her teeth before she ran her tough over where her teeth used to be only to feel sharp bumps coming out of her gums. She stood up and moved toward the mirror, she opened her mouth to see new fangs growing in.
"This is weird." said Hinata to herself as she ran her tongue over her new teeth.
In a much smaller cell Ino Yamanaka sat waiting for her transformation to come to an end, maybe it was the fact she had changed so much in the first day but she had next to nothing physical changes the second day. She couldn't say the same thing about her mother who now stood before them all as a totally transformed demon fox. She had changed so much because of the fact she wasn't a ninja so they gave her the most advanced generation six drugs. She had removed her cloths when she got up. She had deep black fur which ran up to her knee on her right leg and to her café muscle on her left, deep brown fur the same shade of her fur color ran up over almost the rest of her body. A stripe of lighter brown running up from her vixen hood, over her belly button an up though her neck before spreading out over the lower part of her checks. She had four tails moving behind her which according to a nurse was pretty average for a civilian.
"I can't wait for you all to finish so we can go start a new life." said Lys with a smile before looking toward her mate, over the night two more tails had grown and fur was poking it's way out from under his shirt. "Do you think they will need a flower shop?"
"Everyone uses flowers, dear." answered Inoichi as he looked toward his daughter and her boyfriend. Sai's legs had become double jointed and his big toe had moved up to form a dir claw.
Movement outside the cell caused everyone to look as a group of newly turned ants marched by in single file.
"Ino…you see the one near the front?" asked Sai as Ino looked to see a male ant a little larger than the others with dark brown skin.
"Shino." said Ino as she looked at the ant man; he had four legs moving across the ground with a three fingered hand. He had a huge mass coming out of his back forming the three sections found on a normal ant.
"I think that is him." said Sai as he looked down the line of ants "I think that is the entire Aburame clan."
"I think it is." said Inoichi
"So you know these ants?" asked a nurse snake
"Ya, the one in the lead is our friend." said Ino
"Well then he is the lucky one, if he is in the lead then he is going to be a warrior ant." stated the snake
"A what?" asked Sai
"A warrior, he will spend his life training for battle and breeding with the queens to produce warriors and workers." stated a snake before shaking her head "He will have fun having sex until it kills him?"
"Kills him?" asked Ino
"Yes, when a warrior gets too old to breed and fight he gets has sex until the life is out of him." stated the snake "Probably within forty years since ants queens only have an 80 year life span which is about two times longer as than the worker drones and twenty years longer than the warriors."
"Why doesn't he responded to us?" asked Ino
"He is an ant, he has no name anymore, only the queens have names and the rest are just a rank with numbers. They are mindless working zombies." stated the snake "You will likely never see him again, the ants are a very closed society."
A few levels down in the long term holding area Tsunade touched the side of her face, blonde fur the same color of her hair was growing down around her ears giving her the appearance of side burns. Something that caused Jiriaya to laugh like no other. Then again Jiriaya now had black pad like items on his hands and feet and his figures and toes had become claws, his big toe had moved up into a dir claw.
"So another day just sitting around doing nothing but talk." said Jiriaya as the two of them sat at the table.
"Ya, but I think I have it narrowed down what at least you are becoming." said Tsunade "Judging from the pads on your hands and feet and the dir claw it is either a wolf or a fox."
"Not too bad then." said Jiriaya as he got up gingerly.
"Is something wrong?" asked Tsunade
"Nothing really…I think I pulled a muscle in my groin somehow." Explained Jiriaya as Tsunade nodded her head, before looking up at a small security camera located in the corner of the room. She wanted to take them out but according to Jiriaya they would just fill the room with knock out gas and repair them, then cut back on food or water for a while.
"Do they always watch you?" asked Tsunade
"Ever since I got here, they even have cameras in the bathroom apart from the shower and toilet." Explained Jiriaya
"Never imagined Orochimaru as a pervert." laughed Tsunade as she looked into the camera.
Looking at his former teammates though the TV monitors was Orochimaru as he stood in his personal lab. The massive lab made the ones he had in the sound village look like something that belonged to a school.
"Sir I have the first results." Stated an aid as the bear moved up to Orochimaru
"And?" asked Orochimaru
"It worked just as you thought it would." Stated the bear "With the sample we took from Jiriaya last night we can move on to part three."
"Very good." stated Orochimaru as he wished he didn't have to work on this project, it was one assigned by the council and the type of research he hated but they gave him unlimited resources so spending a little time on their projects was bearable "send the reports to the councils and prepare two samples."
"I thought we were only going to try one." said the bear as Orochimaru glared at him "Yes, sir."
It was just after noon and Sakura had a headache that just wouldn't go away, it was more of an pain in the ass than anything else. She tried the justus she knew and even pills to get rid of it but it just wouldn't go away.
"Is something wrong Sakura?" asked Adria as she saw how much pain her brother's mate-in-waiting was in.
"Just a headache that will not die." answered Sakura looked at her for a moment before sniffing the air a few inches away from Sakura's fur. "What are you doing?"
"Just as I thought." said Adria
"You know what is going on?" asked Sakura as Adria nodded her head.
"You're in heat." explained Adria as Sakura remembered what the medical books said.
For between a week and ten days every vixen between the ages of 15 and 60 million years old enters a period in which their sexual hormones are at the highest known as heat or mating season. It is during this time vixens are at the peak chance of pregnancy for the year. Every vixen enters heat at a different time of the year and it varies from year to year and it can skip years as the vixen nears the end of the breading age around 60 million years or if she is already carrying or just given birth to a kit. Signs that a vixen is enter heat starts with increase scent which is meant to tell males that is she fertile, commonly a headache is often present during the mating season as basic animal need the need to reproduce takes center stage in the mind. If the vixen is has a male she is currently mated to or someone who they want to mate with they will likely go after that fox so that she will carry is kits. Male foxes also go through a breading season but it is different than the vixen's. Males often become more violent and competitive as they fight for the right to mate and show their strengths.
"I see." said Sakura "Any idea on how to get rid of this headache."
"Not really, it is just something every vixen has to go though." said Adria "The only real cure is mating but you can fight it, every young vixen or none mated vixen does."
"Then it goes away?" asked Sakura
"I don't know I have no mate." explained Adria
"It goes away for a few hours." Said another voice as Sakura looked up to see Kushina standing there "It is worst about midway through your week and it gets better as the season dies down."
"I see." said Sakura
"But at least you won't have to go into work tomorrow." laughed Adria
"Why?" asked Sakura
"It's a law they started to try to raise the numbers of births, when a vixen who is fertile is in heat then she and her mate or mate-in-waiting get off work so that they may have kits." said Kushina
"They let people off work so they can have sex and have kits?" asked Sakura
"With a population that is dying from lack of kids they will try anything to bring the number of births up." explained Kushina
"I guess we know what you an my brother will be doing tonight." laughed Adria
"I recommend you double up on birth control Justus because in mating season birth control doesn't work as well." stated Kushina
"Thanks." said Sakura
It was around four in the afternoon as a ten member strong demon patrol moved though fire country. They were moving down one of the many side roads that ran between the major population centers of fire country.
"Still no signs of humans." stated a wolf as he put his nose to the dirt road trying to get a smell "In fact I don't smell anything."
"That shouldn't be." stated another wolf "You should at least be able to smell animals."
"Well I don't." stated the first wolf before a kunai went into his eye with a paper bomb attached to the end. There was no time to react as the second wolf was thrown backwards to the dirt. The other demons where stunned as two humans came running out of the underbrush with swords at the ready. The first Leaf ninja ran his sword though a lioness gut while the second ran cut off the head of a horse.
"Fang over fang!" yelled Kiba as a giant tornado came swopping out of the tree line toward the bear, who had just enough time to run though hand signs to send a mound of earth, which stopped Kiba's attack but a ninja star came in from the woods killing him.
"We need to get into a defenses line." yelled a wolf as the demons went back to back in order to defend themselves.
"I hope you enjoy hell." laughed Kiba as a series of paper bombs located under the road exploded under the demons. As the smoke cleared Kiba moved though the battlefield making sure all the demons where dead.
"Make sure you have every weapon picked up." ordered Kiba "We can't afford to waste weapons anymore."
"Yes, sir." stated a ninja as he went off to collect the weapons.
"It's nice to strike against the demons." laughed another ninja
"Now to strike some fear in those sons of a bitches." stated Kiba as he walked over to a dead demon lion before pulling out his combat knife. Within a minute he had decapitate the lion, everyone's eyes was on him as he held the dead foxes head by the fur.
"What are you doing Kiba?" asked a female ninja as Kiba began to cut a fallen tree branch to a point.
"They took our homes and they think they have nothing to fear from us." stated Kiba as he thought about everyone he had lost, his pack, his friends and Hinata who was likely sleeping with demon. With one quick motion he jabbed the lion's head though the pike "We will make them fear us and we will make them pay for everyone they took from us."
"That isn't right." stated a ninja
"Is it right what they did to us?" asked Kiba "They aren't human we shouldn't treat them any better then animals."
For a moment no one said or did anything then a young chunin walked past Kiba and toward one of the dead wolves before cutting off its head and putting it on a pike beside the lion's. Slowly one by one all but three of the Leaf ninjas followed Kiba's lead putting the dead demons heads on pikes along the side of the road.
The sun was setting as a team of fifteen demons moved down the road.
"We got reports of an explosion." stated a tiger as they turned the corner in the road to see part of the road ahead blown up.
"Move" ordered the tiger as the forces moved forward only to stop when he saw what had become of the patrol. There lined up along the road where the heads of the demons with wooden pikes running though them.
"My God." hissed a snake as she looked at the row of dead head.
"Those fucking humans." stated the tiger as he looked to where the humans had stacked the rest of the bodies. "Those animals will pay for this."
Well the humans have started to fight back, I know some may be surprised and upset at what I did with Kiba but he has lost everything and that changes a person. I would like to thank everyone who reviewed and I asked that you keep on reading.
