Chapter 14. completing the team.

A fuck up nothing more or less, Zetsu had all 8 of them running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Hanayama and Retsu both felt useless, Baki felt really bad as well and knew if he hadn't run off and Naruto had have to go with him and make sure he didn't get jumped then killed, then Naruto would have been here to stop this. The others felt just as bad but they knew there was nothing they could have done.

Finally Naruto looked pissed off over this as he looked over the group that were now sitting in Tokugawa's. The room was filling up with smoke from both Tokugawa smoking on his pipe. Naruto then thought, 'well shit but what can you do none of them are actually train soldiers so they would have been able to see it coming."

Retsu then looked up and asked, "look I know they got stronger but this is ridicules. Spec knocked Hanayama out with one punch and Dorian killed Kaku and Ryu by himself. How in the hell where they able to do that and on top of that how were you lot able to fight them!?"

everyone looked at Naruto as he looked at the two that wasn't in the know. Naruto sighed as he said, "it would be easier for me to show you, but be warned it comes with a cost and power, but if I find out you are using is for something like I don't know, using it too beat people up on the street then the rath I will rain down on you will make you wish you were already dead!" Naruto directing that last part at Hanayama.

The two looked at one another knowing that in truth it was ether this or wind up dead at the hands of those monsters. With that in mind the two connect to Naruto and what came next was just like the rest experience but this time something was different for Naruto. He felt his chakra almost ignite, like a car turning over once but then go back dead.

As they disconnected Naruto had one though at that moment. 'damn it! It almost happened my chakra was about to be reawakened... I guess I will need to find a nineth member and hopefully that will do it.' the blond then walked back to his seet as Retsu and Hanayama got up.

Tokugawa looked over them all and said, "while this is great and all you lot are still out numbered if my count is correct and on top of that we don't know why they killed Alexander either."

Naruto actually voice his theory which he hopped was right, because of not then this could get a whole lot worse than it already has. "it's because most likely just like me, he has a limited amount of people he can enhance. The only problem is the body he's using had 10 tailed beast in it, instead of mine that only had 9... so he still has one more he can do this too."

that really wasn't good news but it was better than the alternative of him being able to do this to everyone. All that being said Hanayama actually had a good question. "ok while that maybe bad, why doesn't he just come after us himself after all he has a body more powerful than any of us right now?"

Naruto actually forgot he hadn't told anyone really about this fact. "actually I already know the answer to that as well. I have already told Baki this but in truth he actually doesn't. From what I can tell Madara's body is close to falling apart. If it wasn't for the fact a white Zetsu made up the basics of the body and black Zetsu hadn't altered it, then in truth that body should have been a skeleton by now. He also might be looking for a new body as well for that matter."

well at least that was some comfort they had. If the body was in that bad of shape then most likely it was unable to create chakra anymore and the fact black Zetsu wasn't really a fighter and was only good for hiding ment they stood a very good chance agents him. After all if Naruto could find one more fighter than their numbers will be equal as Zetsu will not be able to directly interfere with the fight.

"yeah well I have bad news for everyone, Zetsu found Yujiro and kidnapped his unconscious body." everyone looked at the door to the room and seen it was Oliva and he seemed in truth scared, which no one could blame him. As that was the worse person in the world Zetsu could get to.

Naruto looked at Oliva and asked, "are you a hundred percent sure about that Oliva, because if that's true then I might be the only person here that has a remote of a chance of beating him."

Oliva walked in and took a seat and at hearing Naruto's question he looked up and answered with, "yeah I hate to say it but when I was coming over to hunt down the deathraw inmate's, I was contacted by striker and he out right told me it was Zetsu... then I heard a loud snap on the other end and Guevary picked it up and said your days is numbered."

everyone looked shocked and was frightened by this even if they chose not to show it. Naruto then jumped up and said, "ok that does it!" he then looked at everyone and said, "we're going to do something about this shit but first I need to get all of you trained with the tailed beast mark. So meet me at the ishi Forest tomorrow morning."

with that Naruto stormed off to meet a man about his son and the rest looked to one another and agreed to fallow along with their leader in all rights, but for some reason they had a feeling of dred wash over them, which was odd as they all trained to the extreme and it wasn't like Naruto was going to try and kill thim, right... RIGHT!!!?

-- the next day at 9am --

they all arrived at the forest at about the same time, they didn't know when Naruto wanted them to show up or even where in this damn forest was he, but something told them that they were better off looking for him as a group.

They then heard screaming fallowed by a lot of noise. Then out of the trees came a giant of a man halling ass passed them, all the while he was screaming, "run for your life's!" they all looked at one another only for a barrage of ninja stars to be rain down on them. Thankfully they were fast enough to start too dodge and then full on sprint.

As they cought up to the tall man he screamed, "I told you to run! By the way name is Yuichiro hanma and right now I really wish I didn't agree to this shit!!!" the last name cought almost everyone off guard with the exception of Doppo who al ready knew who he was.

They then had to stop because if they didn't... well let's just say that was a big hole and none of them could see the bottom of it. They then found them self flying in to the air thanks to a big ass tree slamming into them. As they landed they seen Naruto dressed up in his ninja gear looking unpleased.

"welcome to hell, for the next month I'm going to push you none stop until you master those tailed beast mark's. I must warren you I will not be holding back because if I do, you might actually died at Zetsu's own hands." Naruto then walked in to the clearing where there was a ring.

At that moment they knew this wasn't going to be a good month for them at all. Naruto then called out, "Hanayama, Jack get your asses here and spar, the rest observe and try and learn something."

-- a month later --

pain that was how the nine of them would describe the past month. Naruto made good on him telling them this was hell. Naruto had them none stop going through training, from sneak attacks at night to dodging traps in the morning and finally he would have them par up with a different person every evening to fight. All that while having their tailed beast mark active.

For Naruto though this month wasn't much better, first he gave the final mark too Yuichiro but while he did fill the same thing as the others his chakra was still locked. Not to mention he had about two and a half hours of sleep from making traps to having them trying to prodict when he would attack at night or when they would him.

Regardless they all could tell how strong they all gotten from training with their mark. On top of that Baki and Jack where able to actually spend time getting to know their grandfather and Yuichiro got to find out more about his own son's evil deeds. He really wished he never went into saclusion.

They all sat around a fire eating breakfast, katsumi looked over at Naruto and asked, "so Naruto what is it are we going to do to day? Usually you done had use running for aware lives by now."

Naruto looked up at the karate genius and said, "not a thing, were all going to go back home and rest. Most likely Zetsu is going to make his move soon so we are going to need to be at a hundred percent for his ass." Naruto then got up and started to walk home. "I'm going home to pass out for maybe the next two days. Don't deactivate your mark's until you do the same... see ya."

they all looked at one another and Doppo got up and said, "yeah I think we all should take his lead. Personally I need to go see my wife." with that they all agreed and they all went home.

-- two weeks later --

it had been a month and a half an Tokugawa was about fed up, with out his star's the underdome had suffered. While it was great in terms of getting new talent in. it also meant there was not anyone to draw in the craweld or to really test said new talent with.

"great at this rate I might as well shut down the whole thing until this stuff blows over. Ahhh I don't know what to do." Tokugawa said as he was completely lost as what to do, as last night's fight was the first time in his family history that money was actually lost.

"don't worry this is about to it's conclusion." at the unknown voice Tokugawa turned around and a fist knocked him out. "now let's see if they are willing to fall into my trap to save this mortal." with that Zetsu took Tokugawa's phone and send him a message, then sank down into the ground.

-- latter on --

Infront of the Tokyo dome Naruto along with the nine marked ones. Naruto seen the guard's laying all around the place, they also seen the police were also surrounded the place, which took them a second to sneak in and once they did they seen sine's with each of Zetsu's fighters hanging over several walkways.

Naruto looked at them and said, "everyone I trained all of you to the best of my ability and it's up to you too win your own fights. As for me I'm going to go after the head of this snake." with that Naruto took off after the marked way that said, "Zetsu this way foxboy"

the rest of them then went to the fighter they wanted to fights, which lead to this.

Jack hanma VS pickles.

Retsu Kaioh VS Dorian.

Gouki Shibukawa VS Ryuko Yanagi.

Doppo Orochi VS Sikorsky.

Oliva Biscuit VS Izo Motobe.

Kaoru Hanayama VS Spec.

A/N. Finally the last Arc has been set into motion. Hopefully I can get it out in a reasonable fashion. Or hell I might even do it all and finish the rest of the story... I don't know, you do now but I'm still debating on it.

Anyway hope you liked the chapter.
