(Cue: DanParthenis-Instinct of Battle I) Akamaru, Choji, Kiba and Shikamaru were at each other's backs surrounded by a mob of Doton type clones of a shinobi from Iwa. "GATSUGA!" With that, the Inuzuka duo spun into two twin tornadoes that dozed through the mob before spiraling into one above the ground with a call of-"JINJU KONBI HENGE: SOTORO!" The twisters disappeared to reveal a gigantic, two-headed wolf, snarling at the rest of the clones as it let out a roar filled with chakra which destroyed a few of them before Choji smashed the rest. It's okay to cry...as long as you remember to get back up afterwards.
"Nikudan Sensha!" Rolling over the mob, he continued rolling towards the fused Inuzuka duo before being sent flying in the opposite direction with a headbutt from both heads, getting the enlarged Akimichi to bounce off several buildings until he slammed into a building holding the shinobi creating the clones and unintentionally crushed them into the rubble and bouncing back the way he came.
Across the village, Lee had pummeled several of his opponents into defeat. Tenten had summoned her entire arsenal and was destroying anyone unlucky enough to come into her range. Neji's sight hid no one from him, basically handing him victory minus his exhaustion from the nonstop attacks. A large explosion shook their area of the village, making them lose their footing momentarily before recovering and finding the ground had turned to sand, making their eyes widen and sweat roll down their faces as they began to sink until..."Futon: Tatsu no Oshigoto!" In the middle of the now-existing desert appeared a giant tornado, sucking up all of the sand and, in a strange sense of irony, resulted in sanding down the walls of the buildings around it before the sand was taken away and returned to the gourd it originated from. Revealing herself from on top of a roof, her face impassive and her eyes lit with fire equal to that of Lee's. "If you insist on targeting my comrades, brother, I'll be forced to kill you!" A fight and a battle aren't one and the same. If both sides still yet live, it isn't finished and they mustn't leave anything unfinished.
Shino was beside Isaribi, his insects drowning their opponents and stealing their chakra while any who somehow survived were taken down by the piscine kunoichi. "How many did the roster say were here, Isaribi-san?" The Aburame heir's question was met with a simple shrug and a grin from Naruto's student-daughter.
"Don't know," She said simply, striking down a foolish ninja who'd thought rushing her was smart. "All I know is that we're getting our exercise." A nod from Shino was her only response.
At the other side of the village, the three kunoichi Naruto had helped raise were being taken out like flies, ironically. Fuu dropped in between them, her hands cupped together before she swung at Sakura, breaking several ribs and sending the pinkette flying into a house where a man was calmly reading his newspaper. "You thought you were ready, you thought you were at the top of your game...Well, you're right about one thing...you're at the top of your game, but not at the top of everyone else's!" Ino and Hinata were running at the mintette, Ino with a kunai and Hinata with her hands glowing with chakra. Attacking, Fuu dodged and countered their attacks with ease, her eyes full of boredom like she had expected better and was being let down.
"Naruto help raise you, that's been established, but that came with a price: he grew attached to you and began protecting you from as much as he could without causing more issues." Fuu, now irritated with the two kunoichi failing at hurting her, thrashed her singular, thin, whip-like actual tail with youki packed into the swing which sent the clan heiresses flying backwards. "Your guardian cares for you, which is a good thing, but it's backfired in that he cared too much to train you to get this far. When you failed at the first exam, you shouldn't have been allowed to continue competing-which is what Naruto was backing on-but due to the fact that Tayuya-chan wanted to fight Temari and there couldn't be shown any favoritism among individuals, your group was allowed to progress...But Naruto hadn't accounted for that, and has been doing what he can to make sure you don't die and that you didn't get this far for exactly that reason..." To battle-to fight-should you need a reason?
Sakura was gasping for breath, healing her wounds on the floor as Fuu got closer. "You're proud, strong and spirited. All good things to be as a shinobi, but that can only get you so far. The moment your team was allowed to progress was the moment your defeat was sealed. There is no such thing as fate, destiny or fortune. This world is amoral, it doesn't care what happens to individuals and it holds no favorites." Kneeling to look Sakura in the eye, Fuu's orange, multi-lensed orbs were blank as she stroked the Haruno's hair. "Defeating you will hold no meaning except incurring the wrath of Naruto, and as strong as he is, he's nowhere near invincible and he has his weaknesses. So, even if he comes for me, I will survive and I can win. But, for the fault of your guardian, I am sorry..." A look of sadness came onto Fuu's face, her eyes downcast and the atmosphere somber as she formed a blade of dust from the cylinder on her back.
It was this moment that Sakura started chuckling weakly, her ribs almost all healed. "It's funny...I figured out that Naruto wasn't training me to the fullest, although I didn't notice right away, and I couldn't figure out why or confront him without him waving off the problem. But," She grinned proudly as she pointed to the hole in the wall her flight had created, where Fuu turned to find Ino and Hinata with a glowing, spiraling, purple orb with a ring in the hand of the Hyuuga heiress and stabilized by the platinum blonde's assistance. "Niisan did for us something the others wouldn't be able to do. He tried teaching all of us the Rasengan, but the chakra control and the requirements to keep it stable were a trial let alone mastering the methods in which to achieve it. So, he tried teaching us the less complicated Rasenringu, with better results but only myself, Hinata and Ino would be the ones who could actually use it in battle. However, I doubt we're ever going to find use for it since we're the only ones who can help each other stabilize it..."
Ino picked up where Sakura had left off, grinning proudly. "This jutsu's made from chakra and it was completed without there being anywhere that the Yondaime Hokage could see for it to be improved...but I found a way unintentionally. While I was training here in the village to enter Sage Mode, I tried something that almost killed me. By doing this-" She removed her hands for a moment, making the orb start looking like it was about to break until Ino returned her hands to near it where it formed a spiked rhombus with several rings formed around it. "And this-" Out of the ground came vines of chakra that impaled the ringed, spiked rhombus of energy. "We're going to make an attack that will beat you in one strike!" Only one thing separates a leader from its subjects: control. Control is achieved when instinct, skill and opportunity meet as one in a single burst. That's how the villages were formed, that's how they have always operated and that's how they'll end...
"Bullshit." Fuu's expression was that of a woman who didn't believe a single word the three Konoha kunoichi said, making the three grin.
"Oh really? Now: Rasenringusuta!" The two heiresses charged, Sakura getting up and catching Fuu in a Full Nelson, as Ino removed her hands and let Hinata land the blow with the stabilized creation, the vines having broken when they neared Fuu. With that, the spiked rhombus impaled the mintette's chest between her breasts, right above her heart which not only knocked the wind out of her but caused her tail(s?), armor and youki to recede back into her body, making her fall to her knees with the other three kunoichi doing the same.
After a moment, Fuu began trying to reenter Jinchuuriki State with no success and with the snickering of the Konoha kunoichi to answer her. "What did you three do?!"
Hinata, although shy, answered without a stutter in her voice. "Nature Chakra, although chakra which is inherently weaker than youki, is neutral on the energy scale so it's able to either integrate or expel demonic or angelic energies. By warping the Rasenringu and feeding it Nature Chakra, we've created a Jinchuuriki-proof jutsu that can neutralize Jinchuuriki State and any attacks you make, leaving you weak enough to be beaten with ease."
(Uncue music. Cue: DanParthenis-Instinct of Battle IV/Eiffel 65-Move Your Body/Kesha-Die Young) Fuu, although pissed, started chuckling, making the other three kunoichi blink in confusion before Fuu's chuckles became barks of laughter as she said excitedly, "A REAL FIGHT, EH?! SWEET!" With that, she flipped to her feet and pulled out kunai with which she went to attack her opponents. "LET'S DO THIS!" She lunged for them, making them freeze up with shock. They'd used all their chakra in that last attack and Sakura was still healing her wounds. And for that reason I'm sorry.
Before she could reach them, however, a chain of senbon, kunai and ninja wire found its way around Fuu's arms. "Sorry, Fuu-san, but I can't let you hurt my sensei's-and mine by extension as well as association-family." Turning to her slowly, her arms held by the snake ribs holding her wrists and forearms, Fuu said kindly and understandingly,
"I understand, Isaribi-chan, but I'm afraid that won't stop me from fighting them." Those words made Isaribi's eyes sadden as did Fuu's, their state as pariah of humanity making them hesitant to fight each other.
"Then," Isaribi said solemnly. "I've no choice than to fight you if it means they stay safe..." Her eyes still full of sadness, the student-daughter of the Kitsunin pulled Hebikuiru back, making the serpentine weapon manifest her jaws and bite into the woman she was wrapped around, anchoring herself to Fearless Fuu.
Take her away, Ribi-neechan! With that, the former experiment of Orochimaru's subordinates swung Fuu out of the house and into the street, where the coils were removed and replace by Isaribi's clawed left hand aiming for the mintette's head. In an instant, a spiraling vortex of water appeared in front of the Taki Jinchuuriki, the vortex soon after exploding from the top in the form of a wave towards the piscine shinobi, her eyes widening as did the eyes of Naruto's former charges.
It was momentary, but it was slow at the same time. Leaping into the air with lightning-fast reflexes, Isaribi spun horizontally, her tail thwacking away the wave into a nearby street thanks to chakra making the fin of her tail larger. After that brief moment, Isaribi's tail returned to normal and she ran. Up the wall of the building on her left, she ran around the vortex, Hebikuiru wrapped around her waist, and then jumped with a kick to Fuu's right shoulder, dislocating it with a sickening snap.
Even though she was weakened by her Bijuu's power being neutralized for an unknown amount of time, Fuu was still a dangerous opponent, which was proven by the fact she took the hit with only a grunt and proceeded to flip then kick Isaribi into the upper floor of the building to her left. Flexing her right arm, it snapped back into place with another sickening snap and a groan that was followed by Fuu leaping onto the second story, only to be met with tail to the face and a punch in the stomach.
Pulling out the blade of a broken Fuuma shuriken, Isaribi put it on the side of her tail where she wrapped gauze around it to keep it there. The blades of the large shuriken began to glow with water encasing her tail with it on, chakra flowing into it as Isaribi went through the seals Dog, Ox, Shark, Snake, Horse, Horse, and finally Tiger. With that, she called out, "Oshankuro no Jutsu!" Out of her sleeves came the other blades of that same broken Fuuma shuriken, glowing and encased in water with her arms before all of the water formed and orb at the center and remained on the backs of her hands while her tail's had the water reach the sharp end of the blade. Back flipping, the water became arcs of sharp-edged liquid, all of them having a different edge and size, catching Fuu off-guard and forcing her to try and dodge with a great deal of difficulty.
Fuu, still dodging, glared at the younger kunoichi as she brought out more dust from her cylinder, forming a shield and saber with which she blocked and parried the arcs of bladed water. Although the idea was in the right direction, it backfired as the dust got wet and fell to the ground, making her call out more until she was all out. With a mild glare and a gasp of pain as an especially jagged arc cut into her body, she said in a tone of anger, "It looks like you're really going to force me on this…..Fine!"
As soon as she said that, she flew through several handseals before stopping on the seal for bird as she began to glow a bright green. "What the?!" Isaribi said in surprise as she felt the Nanabi Jinchuuriki's chakra, not her youki, her chakra!
"Every Jinchuuriki has a seal on them, keeping their Biju under control and channeling their power into the one whose body carries the seal. But since youki is too powerful for a human to handle even in small doses, the seal they bear has a secondary function. Do you need me to tell you what that is?!" A crazed grin was on Fuu's face as a wave of energy left her body and washed over a good portion of the village, making most of the exam-takers' eyes widen in shock as they fought to even breath. "The seal on a Jinchuuriki's body can half-assedly convert youki into chakra, giving us more energy to use yet less power behind it, but this also comes with an interesting side-effect on regular humans. Regular humans who haven't been around a Jinchuuriki or been around when one of the Biju were encountered by a village can't handle this wannabe chakra, making it lethal to humans. I know you've been around Naruto long enough to be immune, but not the rest of the village or competitors! Even if you beat me, I'll have won by killing most of your comrades!"
Isaribi started laughing now, shaking her head and holding her sides as she rolled around on the ground in a fit of laughter. "NO THEY WON'T! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! YOU SAID IT YOURSELF, SENSEI WAS THERE FOR THEM-HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! HE WASN'T THERE FOR JUST THOSE THREE! HE LOOKED AFTER ALL OF THEM IF THEY NEEDED IT!" She was still laughing, her lungs about ready to burst as she gasped for breath. "ALL OF THEM WERE UNDER HIS WATCH! HIS CLASSMATES WERE HIS TO GUARD AND HIS TO PROTECT, THAT'S THE WAY IT'S BEEN FOR YEARS!" It hit home now what she just said.
Since Naruto had been there, watching from the shadows and helping how he could without giving himself away, his classmates had been exposed to his presence and the energy he emitted which meant they were immune or at the very least tolerant of youki-diluted-into-chakra. If she lost and the youki-diluted-into-chakra she emitted killed people, it would only be those who weren't close-ish to a Jinchuuriki which would mean that if it was a Konoha shinobi that beat her, she'd have given them an easier road to winning the exams as the 'chakra' she emitted reached a fair distance.
Naruto's student, seeing Fuu was lost in thought, took her chance as she shunshined to her side in a lightning strike combined with a splash of water from a nonexistent body of said liquid. Appearing at the Chuunin's side, she went through a couple handseals before calling out, "Suuton: Rivu~aiasan U~eiku no Jutsu!" Spinning as she leaped at the Jinchuuriki, near the end of her tail manifested a large, curved blade of water that went to slice across Fuu's body when said mintette snapped out of her daze to duck under the swing and rise to land a powerful punch on Isaribi's lower back, making the purplette gasp in pain and her tail lose the blade as it spasmed and thwacked Fuu into a house.
Laying there, both facing into the buildings they had been struck into, they didn't move out of pain. Without his power healing me, I'm unable to heal as quickly, which means that if I suffer a fatal blow while still separated from his power...I might actually die. That punch was chakra only. I should be able to do that a few more times if I were used to using chakra still! But ever since I started using youki and my coils began to produce it...I doubt I'll be able to do that again...DAMN IT!
(Uncue music. Final time for this fight, ya'll, don't worry. Cue: My Darkest Days-Still Worth Fighting For/My Darkest Days-Save Yourself/ TFK-Untraveled Road/Panic at the Disco-Miss Jackson) "You're not a Chuunin, why are you even fighting?!" Fuu asked aggressively as she removed herself from the wall in which Isaribi's tail had sent her flying into.
Isaribi responded calmly, pulling herself out of the wall to see the mint-haired beauty glaring at her quizzically, "Because...If I don't keep the Konoha shinobi who are Chuunin in line and safe, even if I should be fighting them, I don't think I could ever forgive myself. They're caught in a Genjutsu made out of Killer Intent I made, which makes sense but they didn't realize they were in an illusion even after they saw before their eyes things that didn't make sense. If they can't realize they're in a Genjustu, no matter if it's an actual Genjutsu or not, I don't think they're ready to take on ninja who can make illusions stronger than my own that do more damage. I'm not letting them get killed because they're unprepared."
"Kakashi-san showed them what Genjutsu can do and how to break stronger ones, but Sensei's idea of using Killer Intent to trap others in illusions is something that's been theorized before. It's nothing new. I've heard of ninja who can make their enemies drop unconscious from just a pulse of Killer Intent, trapping them in illusions of the ninja's creation and design." Isaribi looked to Fuu daringly now, standing shakily as she took up a fighting stance unique to her style. "'Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum'! Sensei told me that's what Kakashi-san taught once, and we've held true to that ideaology. I won't leave them to die, even if I have to kill them myself later. Although not a part of the exams, I was pulled in when that orange-haired man asked for a challenge, making me an unofficial contestant. The only way I'm leaving is dead, you got that?!" She said this with power as energy left her body to take the form of a large, translucent, piscine creature above her.
"I AM ISARIBI UZUMAKI-MITARASHI! STUDENT AND ADOPTED DAUGHTER OF NARUTO UZUMAKI, BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER OF ANKO MITARASHI AND THE LEVIATHAN'S CHOSEN! IF WE MUST FIGHT, THAN WE'LL FIGHT LIKE WHAT WE ARE: BEASTS!" She said this like they were her last words, eyes full of determination and the translucent creature above her let out what could only be called a roar of a king or queen that shook the village. Around Isaribi floated glowing polygons of energy surrounded by the sea that was her own power that swept through the neighborhoods near them, repairing the damage that had bee done to them and giving the now publicized daughter of Anko a seemingly regal glow that made Fuu's eyes widen as she let out her own 'chakra'. Down from her eyes came streaks as her energy swept away the henge she had dawned to hide some of her features.
Her skin revealed itself to be pale, not so pale she seemed translucent-looking but pale enough to arouse suspicion. Where her eyes were once black, they turned a striking gold color with slits for pupils instead of the typical, round center of a human eye. Gritting her teeth, they revealed themselves to be mostly shark-like, with the now-prominent, snake-like fangs where her canines would be. Down the sides of her nose from above and under her eyes reached blackish-purple markings that reminded anyone who saw her of-"The man whose village resides in the Land of Rice's former territory, is the one who made me and abandoned me to use me again after years! You know this feeling..." In her hands and near the end of her tail formed blades of water, electricity coursing through these constructions.
From Fuu sprang a wind carrying leaves of energy that fell to the ground from which trees of chakra sprouted with insects of many sizes crawling all over them. The trees and insects of energy were quickly destroyed, however, by a rocking of the ground with the sky turning red with streams of fire and wind blowing above them. From the ground rose stones of energy which were incinerated and blown around by the flames and winds that became nothing but dust and insect scales. "I understand what it's like to be abandoned by those who should've loved you, but I never got picked up by them when they thought they could use me. That's why I don't have a surname..." She said this levelly, emotionlessly as armor of dust and insect scales formed around Fuu, the gauntlets extending over her hands as relatively large blades over her wrists.
The people watching this exchange who weren't ninja were barely alive, the 'chakra' Fuu emitted killing their immune systems painfully as they vomited up the remains of their now liquidized organs. On Isaribi's tail, the Fuuma shuriken's blade had sharpened, its blade extending with the energy flowing through it so much it had to become more than it was before. Sakura, Hinata and Ino were wide eyed at the amount of chakra pressing down upon them that had come from these two powerhouses before them. They were barely able to breathe, let alone watch the fight that had begun without a punch being thrown.
Fuu and Isaribi stared at each other, their hair flailing around them with their clothes about ready to fly off, their eyes glowing lightly before they stopped pressing their auras against the other, letting up on everyone nearby as they lunged for each other. It was Isaribi who was pushed back by Fuu, the blades extending from above her wrists clashing with the purplette's blades of water without making the mintette's armor and weapons weak from getting wet.
Clash, spark and clang went the materials as they met against each other. Fuu, taking steps towards her opponent, forced Isaribi back with wild and fast swings. Anko's biological daughter swung her blade-ended tail at the older kunoichi, making Takigakure no Sato's Jinchuuriki duck and slash for the scaled appendage as it went over her head, ultimately missing when Isaribi retracted her tail hurriedly. Hopping back up to her feet, Fuu was met with Isaribi's swords coming at her face, which made her raise her bladed wrists to intercept the purplette's attack as she found herself staring into the excited eyes of Naruto's student-daughter. (I've screwed up Naruto's family tree big time! His adopted daughter's his adoptive mother's biological daughter, his niece's older than him an' technically his aunt, the kids he used to watch over as toddlers're his sisters, brother-in-rivarly's baby brother an' his love interest. HOW'S THAT FOR FUCKED UP?! *I die laughin'*)
Inhaling deeply, Fuu said, "Hiden: Rinpungakure no Jutsu!" Exhaling white, crystaline dust-like powder, a bright light shined right in Isaribi's eyes, blinding the piscine-tailed girl. Taking her chance, Fuu jumped back and flew through hand seals before spewing webs from her gaping mouth and from the chakra strings on her hands, calling out, "MOJORO!" The webs, at first seemingly going every which way without any rhyme or reason, suddenly jolted still before convening towards Isaribi to form a net-shaped prison that caused her body to glow a grey light, making Fuu smirk triumphantly. "I hope you don't mind, but I'm stealing your energy, ssu! FUCKING DAMN IT, JUST HAD THAT FIXED!" She shouted the last part with an enormous groan of anger.
In response, Isaribi smirked as she went through a myriad of handseals before bringing her tail close to her face to bite her thumb and smear the blood on the flat of her tail, pulling her tail away from her face to slam it on the ground and call out, "Forgive me sensei...KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU!" A splash of water appeared at her feet, the dirt under her feet staying dry as the water was just an illusion caused by the mere presence of her summon. Electricity coursed inside of the net-shaped prison as a cloud appeared and dispersed just as quickly as it had appeared, revealing a truly incredible creature beside the daughter of Anko and the student of Naruto.
Beside the purplette was what looked like a cross between an enormous, venomous snake, a dragon and a bioluminescent eel from the deepest abyss. Its scales were covered by a see-through membrane, the color of the ocean and the abyss mixing together into a beautiful and terrifying creature. Its head, although elongated, was that of a bone-jawed fish. Teeth sharp enough to severe a creature in thirds due to how irregularly its teeth were shaped due to some being broken and others being chipped to be serrated for gruesome kills. It had serpentine, slitted eyes with remorseless intelligence and an air about it that could kill anyone who looked for too long into those bewitching eyes. Spiraling down the sides of its neck and body to its tail were glowing streaks. Large, powerful, fin-like wings with clawed paws at the elbow joint were what it had for limbs along with two, webbed hindlegs to keep it balanced as it rose to its full height, breaking the net-shaped prison with little difficulty to stare at roof of a three story house.
A body as long as one of Manda's adolescent children, it had a shark-like tailfin and a crowning, dorsal fin about as tall as a one story house of the color grey. This was-"Juneteran!"(Juneteran: /June-ette-ran/) Isaribi called, the large creature looking to her and lowering its head to listen to its summoner properly. "I need your help defeating her," She pointed towards a still stunned Fuu, making the creature look to the mintette before turning its head back to look at the one who had summoned it.
"...Very well," Juneteran said in a deep, resounding, feminine and fearsome voice with a tone of certainty. "But in exchange, Isaribi, your time on the land will be shortened and you shall, for the rest of this instance, join me where you belong..."
Isaribi looked to the ground, clenching her hands into fists that shook as she nodded stiffly, her whole body shuddering as she choked out a weak, "...Yes...my lady..."
"Very good," Was the enormous creature's pleased response with a nod of affirmation and what could only be called a 'grin' on her ferocious looking face before she turned her attention to the mint-haired female his summoner was fighting. "I don't know who or what you are, but I don't care. Your actions leading up to my summoning are worthy of both my gratitude and a merciful defeat. Prepare for defeat..." In her mouth formed a large orb of violently churning water that was obviously intended for Fuu.
Eyes wide, the Jinchuuriki of the Village Hidden in the Waterfall felt youki return to her being, making her smirk as she flew through handseals as well before biting into her thumb and smearing the blood on her fingertips which was followed by her slamming her hand on the ground with the call of-"KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU!" From the sky, dropped an enormous hybridization of an unknown insect, a reptile of some sort and a fortress. There was a glow in between the plates of carapace on its body and the parts that weren't covered by armor were free to lumines brightly.
It had a hatchet-shaped head, the 'chin' and 'forehead' having bladed armor running up from the base of the neck and throat respectively. There were four main limbs, with three smaller 'arms' at its torso. Its tail swished behind it slowly, a strange barb at the end like that of a dragonfly. It had on its back a sturdy, fortified, spiral-designed building that reached above its head and extended forward to look like a horn on top of its carapace-covered head. Along its frail-looking, bony torso were spikes of bone coming out of its ribs, and down its limbs were the markings of a tribal leader.
Lowering itself in front of Fuu, it took the blast of water Juneteran had shot. With a groan as the building on its back shook, it said in a deep, relatively slow voice, "This child doesn't frighten me, nor should it you, Fuu Sisyrbe." The mintette looked at the creature gratefully, saluting like a soldier in respect.
"Thank you, Lord Phanuel." It nodded before turning to charge at Juneteran, shaking the village and send the enormous titans flying into a pillar of stone about as big as them both respectively. Juneteran, glaring at what could only be called a bastardization of life and architecture, bit into its slouching tower above its face, causing screams to be heard as humans fell out of the building.
Fuu, Isaribi and Juneteran all had wide eyes, allowing Phanuel the opportunity to avenge its tenants as a glowing, translucent sphere formed at the tips of its bladed 'chin' and 'forehead'. Out of blue, however, a movement of something bigger than both of the colossal creatures was noticed in the sky as the ground shook even more, creating an enormous crack between the monstrous animals as well as shattering most of the village and revealing out of the clouds a serpent that had a head about as big as the entire Land of Water. The hearts of everything in the Mizu no Kuni stopped, eyes all looking into what were guessed to be the eye of this monstrous serpent which had eyes the size of the entire village as it had tilted its head to the side to look at the village. A groan left its lungs, causing the entire country to shake and start to reshape, its mouth opening to reveal its monumentally big teeth as it made a smiling gesture.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH..." It spoke... "I SEE...VERY WELL, I CAN WAIT..." It had spoken in a language only a select few understood in all of Mizu no Kuni, the monster's voice so loud it made the land shake and reform while the living creatures were in pain from the volume of the monster but it was the fact that it sounded like its voice was being kept low for them to hear that frightened everyone more than just its size. Suddenly, it was gone. The whole village destroyed and in ruins, the country itself in shambles and its inhabitants, both human and otherwise, barely alive as their hearing returned to them as if by some dark magic.
(Uncue music) As soon as the villagers and shinobi regained their ability to hear, a village wide search for survivors began with the leaders involved in the search. Naruto, in his six-tailed werefox form, was staring at the sky still. His eyes full of terror. He'd been scared. There was shit behind him as he was on all fours. He had been TERRIFIED FOR HIS FUCKING LIFE! That never happened, NEVER!
Kyuubi was shocked, scared, and altogether awestruck at what it had just seen. It wasn't just the sight of a monster larger than him that was what frightened him, it was the fact it had been looking at his host. He KNEW it had been looking at Naruto, he just didn't know why. The voice of Temari searching for survivors was what awoke the Ninetails from his stupor. "Kit, your mating prospect is here for you. Go to her."
... Naruto was still silent with horror. Temari, seeing the large fox, ran over to him to make sure he was fine since he wasn't moving before in a flash of light he was gone. She could only stand there, staring in confusion at the sudden disappearance of her technically-betrothed.
Unknown location
Standing there with a smirk is a male being with violet eyes and a truly evil smirk on his face as he begins laughing maniacally at the terror his son had induced in the village. Speaking of which, out of the void stretches a serpent's head that asks curiously in a child's voice, "Did I do good, father?!"
The male nods with an evil smirk upon his face, his body still bound to the stone he'd been imprisoned to over millennium ago. "Yes, my son, you've done better than I asked!" His laughter echoes silently in the void, chilling the bones of anything mortal but causing the serpent to laugh equally as madly before the sound of hooves hitting ground makes them stop suddenly.
Out of the emptiness strides a fine stallion, his hair a sanded-platinum gold and his hidden-behind-a-helmet, pupilless eyes are teal. Down the length of his body is a unique armor set that shields his eyes and hides them from the vision of most for their...unsettling appeal. "I thought you'd been told to refrain from speaking with her, Jormungandr, so what are you doing speaking to her?!" Demands the stallion angrily, his sharp, demon-like teeth gleaming in the anti-light of the void.
A snarl answers the horse as the serpent rears his head back in preparation to attack, ignoring the fact that his brother's armor protected his head in an crescent moon helm that ornamented itself with the connected sword-blades of several cultures' greatest warriors he'd defeated. His brother's tail, although not as long or powerful, is similar to his own in that it was hairless and muscular although it serves no purpose. Down the saddle-part of his armor hand the spear and arrowheads of several battles he'd survive like the great warrior he is. "So you'd ignore your own family for who they are, Sleipnir?! HOW FAR WILL YOU GO TO PLEASE THAT MASTER YOU CARRY AROUND THE BATTLEFIELD?!"
"I AM NOBODY'S SLAVE!" Yells back Sleipnir as he bares his fangs and charges his brother who lunges his head towards the stallion. Suddenly, they're stopped by several appendages that stretch from their chained-to-the-stone father, his chuckling devious and malicious.
"Behave," Their father says simply, his eyes hidden behind his bangs and his chuckling terrifying. "Boys. You're brothers, act like it and behave...The show's just begun-HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" His laughter, insane and evil, shakes all of the void as several heads turn to him in confusion and fear.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, HVEÓRUNGR!" Screams a now thrashing-in-guilt-and-shame Sleipnir while Jormungandr laughs with his father, although a little awkwardly from stretching his neck so far from his coil.
With Naruto
Falling. That's all he knew at the moment. His eyes wide and full of fear, he was soon met with the sight of solid ground which made his eyes widen even more until he morphed into his werefox form, youki coursing into his feet to lighten the fall damage. "Neinn! Neinn! Neinn!" Hitting the ground hard, he created a crater with his pawprints in the center. Said appendages shook with effort and pain from hitting the ground so hard. With a groan he let his body fall to all fours, his paws aching like-"BIKKJA!"
(Can ya'll believe this guy?! He's interruptin' me without even-) "Hversu...sási ógagns!" He said this angrily, wrapping a his tails around his paws before using youki to remain stationary on the ground as he lifted himself into a handstand where his paws would remain untouched by anything that could hurt them more.
"Naruto!" Came the familiar voice of Sakura as the wind blew her scent towards him, although he didn't care as he coursed some more youki into his paws to heal them quicker before he trotted out of the crater to find Inu, Jiraiya, Shizune, Tsunade and Sakura coming towards him with looks of concern. At the sight of his surrogate younger sister, he loped to stand in front of her and pressed his head to hers cautiously-compassionately, making sure he seemed only somewhat caring before he was punched away by a terrified-looking Haruno who shouted, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?! WHERE'S NARUTO?!"
Growling in pain, he rubbed his healing bruise until it was colorless and said in his demonic voice, "You're looking at him, Beri-chan...And dear Mei-chan," He looked to Tsunade now who looked shocked at the name he called her. "Teaching my younger sister to punch me isn't alright, got it?! Now, where the fuck are we and why are you all looking at me weirdly? Where's Isaribi? Are we in Konoha? Who survived the Jounin Exams? What happened to that...village-wide genjutsu?! Yeah...that's what it was! That's got to be it."
A groan came from the crater, making Naruto turn around quickly and ready his claws for anything that came out. What came out, however, was something no one expected. "Okay," Said the spiky-haired blonde dusting himself off. "What hit me and-WHY'S THERE A GIANT FOX, DATTEBOYO?!" Pointing in shock and confusion was a blue-eyed shinobi garbed in an orange and black outfit that didn't look half-bad. Kunai pouch strapped to his right thigh, Uzumaki swirl-charms on his shoulders and a hitae-ate of Konoha on his forehead, this was Uzumaki Naruto.
"NARUTO?!" Came the shouts of surprise and confusion from the group of shinobi minus Naruto and...Naruto. Jiraiya, looking at how the large fox stood protectively in front of Sakura like he was guarding her, started laughing at what he assumed was a clever prank. "Alright Naruto, you got us-hehehe-and it's very clever, but please dispel the Kage Bunshin."
"Já/Hai!" The Narutos said as one, forming the handseal to dispel Kage Bunshin and began coursing energy through their bodies to dispel the other with the only result being an exhausted-from-the-effort blonde and a confused gekkering from the fox who transformed back into his human form of a violet-eyed redhead. "Kit," Kyuubi barked, a feeling of hatred flooding Naruto's body as his stomach churned while the blonde fell to his knees holding his stomach. "KILL THAT MISTAKE OF NATURE!"
(Cue: Starset-It Has Begun) YOU GOT IT! Naruto thought back, his own hatred coming into the mix as he figured out that this was someone's attempt at being him which brought forth his fury. Opening his mouth slightly, a tiny orb of youki started to form and grow before he condensed it and chomped down on it, making his cheeks puff up before he opened his jaws and fired the blast, hitting his target spot on but not killing the fucker. What?! How's he still alive?! I know I barely used any youki but that should be enough to kill any wannabe Jinchuuriki!
"Move!" Wha? Before Kyuubi could answer, the blonde came running out of the new crater with a large glowing, spinning orb in his hand with the help of a solid copy of himself. "RASENGAN!" Acting on instinct, Naruto started dashing backwards a few times and pulled out his kunai launchers before taking shots at the wannabe Uzumaki as well as the copy which made it dispel. Said rip-off took several hits before falling to his knees, pain in his eyes until it was magnified by the loss of control over his Rasengan, making it explode and take with it his arm which made him scream in agony. "Now Kit, take him OUT!"
"Augljóslega, Níu Hala!" Forming an Orka Kló above his arm and in between his real hand and the claw, created a-"Rasengan, done properly, Eftirlíking!" The screaming blonde continued to scream and sob in pain as the other shinobi came to his aid, eyes full of hate.
The ground soon split apart, courtesy of Tsunade, Shizune and Sakura who had punched the ground in unison. Jumping away from that area of carnage, Naruto was met with a large toad and the pervert sage going through handseals that were followed by a spitting of oil from the toad as well as fire from Jiraiya that was aimed for the Kitsunin. With a sudden turn of the body, the Rasengan took in all of the oil and fire the Sage and his summon had fired, making their eyes widen at the now burning orb of energy.
"You can't be the people I know if you'd think that piece of shit fake," Naruto pointed an accusing, claw-like finger at the currently-being-healed-by-Tsunade-and-her-students blonde before continuing. "Is the real me! So, with that in mind," An insane smile grew onto Naruto's face as his sharp teeth glinted in the fiery orb's glow. "Eldurinn Stíl: Vaxandi Kûlu, HELVÍTIS!" That said, the Kitsunin began to course more and more youki into his claw and hand, making the orb in his hand grow until it was slightly larger than his head which was followed by him seallessly making Kage Bunshin appear and created their own with the enhancements of nearby elements.
"Hold it right there," Said Kakashi, his hitae-ate pulled down to reveal his Sharingan that began to spin hypnotically, causing Naruto and his clones to stop moving and take on entranced faces. "There...That should keep them in check long enough to-"
"EKKI/EKKI!" Came the voices of all of the Narutos, their faces displaying varying levels of amusement and arrogance as they all split up, charging for the other shinobi in the clearing.
"No you don't!" From the ground grew wooden beams, spikes and tendrils which dispelled all of the clones-making their respective Rasengans explode-and ensnare the original until he was detained and his Rasengan was also popped, making his right arm blow up.
That caused Naruto to roar to the sky in pain, his arm growing back with minimal problems besides the pain that followed since Yamato came out of the forest and slammed his glowing hand on Naruto's stomach, sealing away his power for the time being. "FJANDINN!"
"You're going to answer our questions now, got it?!"
After flexing his new arm, Naruto snarled before laughing maniacally...
