Chapter 48: In the Prelims part 3

(Preliminary Arena)

Yoriichi and his teammates Yugito and Fu would watch the recent Fight of Sasuke vs Yoroi. As the Uchiha gained the Upper hand in his fight and won.

"Winner Uchiha Sasuke!" called out Hayate

As Sasuke smirked in defeating his opponent as he goes back up in the stands.

"Alright next up it's Sakura Haruno vs Yugito!" Hayate called out.

"Cha! This might be my chance to show Sasuke-Kun that I'm worthy to be his wife! I'll beat that long-eared blonde bitch!" Thought Sakura believing that she can beat Yugito.

"Yeah lets kick her ass!" Inner Sakura agreed.

Yugito watched her opponent walk down to the arena.

"Try not to kill her Yugito." Yoriichi says

"I won't. I'm going to tear her a new asshole." Yugito says with a glare as she walked down to fight her opponent.

Hiruzen was focused on Yugito, including Fu, who is standing by Yoriichi.

(Flashback Hokage Tower a day later)

"Yoriichi Hayabusa Uzumaki? And you are saying he's from Uzushiogakure? That's... That's not possible Sensei!? That village is in Ruins!?" Jiraiya says in disbelief

"Possible or not Jiraiya. This here confirms that Uzu is possibly being rebuilt under our noses." Hiruzen says showing Jiraiya a picture of Yoriichi and his team, including their headbands with the Kanji for "Dark Elf"

"Hey... These two look familiar? The girls besides Yoriichi they look like Kumo's lost two tails and Taki's lost 7 tails jinchuriki. They look different? Dark skin? And long ears? What happened to them?" Jiraiya mused looking at both girls

"What? They are lost jinchuriki of Kumo and Taki?" Questioned The Sandaime. With Jiraiya nodding.

"Yes. They look so identical to what they used to look like... They've been missing and to see that these two joined Uzu." Jiraiya says with his sensei having a serious look.

"So much has been revealed. This boy managed to make Orochimaru flee. And not only that. But he's related to Uzumaki Shredder who is currently in the shadows. Uzushiogakure is being revived. But by who? Surely it can't be Hachishakusama?" Hiruzen stated

"What do you plan to do now. Since we learned of this?" Jiraiya asked with his sensei facing him.

"I want you to investigate the island of Uzu. We must be sure if Uzu is truly back. I also want to know if Naruto is there including Hachishakusama." The Sandaime commanded.

"Got it. I'll see what I can do. But what happens if Naruto isn't there sensei? I mean we've been looking for him all over the elemental nations and not a single spy or contact of mine has seen any sightings of Naruto." Jiraiya said with his sensei frowning

"He is there Jiraiya. I can feel it in my old bones... Surely Hachishakusama wouldn't kill him and risk the Kyuubi being free to attack her. He MUST be there at Uzu." Hiruzen spoke sternly

"Very well. I'll give it a shot. And should the mission become a failure?" The Toad sage questioned.

"That's a big IF. If it becomes a failure. Knowing Hachishakusama she won't take no for an answer. Meaning Naruto could be lost forever to us if he's in her hands. So at this point we will capture Yoriichi and his two jinchuriki female friends. Have them become members of konoha and for them to become loyal to us. They seem close with Yoriichi we'll have him make a few sires with the two. We can start our own uzumaki clan here to control." Hiruzen replied holding his smoke pipe.

"Well then. I'll be off to check on Uzu." Jiraiya says now hopping out the window to take off to Uzu.

Hiruzen sits back in his chair holding his smoke pipe facing the Picture of Yoriichi and his teammates. Wondering how will he convince them to be shinobi here.

And Uzumaki and two female Jinchuriki who can produce an army of children loyal to konoha and those in power here. While he may have lost Naruto but these three will have to do.

(Flashback over)

In the Arena stood both Yugito and Sakura.

"Ready? Fight!" Hayate called as he backed away letting the two fight it out.

"I'm going to beat you, you long-eared freak! Cha!" Sakura charged at Yugito raising a punch to punch the dark elf jinchuriki's lights out however Yugito wasn't fazed by this and had an utter look of annoyance on her face, before the punch could even hit Yugito she caught it smoothly and glared at Sakura with an unimpressed expression.

"You call yourself a Kunoichi? You act more like a typical fangirl rather than a serious Kunoichi." Yugito spoke with seriousness in her tone with Sakura giving her a look of anger and hatred.

"Shut up bitch!" Sakura shouted as she used her free hand to punch Yugito again only for the jinchuriki to catch her other hand and then hit her knee up against Sakura's stomach hard. Making her gag as she let the girl go who was clutching her stomach.

"All of this? Trying to impress a boy? A boy who won't even return your feelings?" Yugito says looking down at Sakura with disgust.

Sakura looked up in rage as she pulled out a kunai and attempted to stab Yugito with it but Yugito had a faster reaction she caught the kunai and tossed it aside disarming Sakura then she twisted the girl's arm as Sakura screamed in pain at having her arm twisted.

"How pathetic. I bet the only reason you want to be a Kunoichi is because you want to be with a Clan heir that is a boy right?" Yugito asked with Sakura looking at her in hot Angry tears.

"Shut up! I will be Sasuke-kun's wife! I will show him that I can beat you! I bet you spread your legs to that Yoriichi boy!" Sakura shouted with anger pulling back from Yugito

Yugito's eyes narrowed and Sakura could have sworn for a split second she saw Yugito's eyes change to two separate colors a Yellow eye and a green eye.

"Okay. That was personal. I'm fucking her up." Yugito hissed in thought.

"Yeah. Put this ugly monkey in her place kitten." matatabi says to her host.

"What's wrong something I said you-" Sakura said but instantly Yugito grabbed the girl and started pummeling her to the ground with her fists. She repeatedly punched Sakura's face hard. And harder as Sakura's screams of pain echoed throughout the arena.

The others in the stands cringed watching this. As they heard the sounds of Yugito's punches impacting on Sakura's face.

"AAAAHH!" Screamed Sakura's face was bloody and bruised up, nose broken, face disfigured, jaw broken, teeth flying out of her mouth as Yugito kept beating Sakura's face in.

6 minutes later Yugito stood over Sakura with her fists covered in blood. As Sakura laid there with her face bloody and bruised up, jaw was broken, two black eyes, teeth missing out of her mouth, face entirely disfigured as if Yugito just gave Sakura a new makeover.

Sakura herself was crying and crying in pain her entire face was hurting

Hayate went over and saw the state Sakura was in

"Winner Yugito of Uzu! Sakura Haruno is unable to continue!" Hayate declared as Sakura was put on a stretcher and taken away.

Yugito went back up with her team.

"Good work! You sure showed her!" Fu would say to her sister bride

Of course I did." Yugito flashed a smile while coming over to Yoriichi and kisses him on the cheek.

"Next is Ino Yamanaka vs Fu!" Hayate called out.

Ino felt a little confident that she could beat Fu.

"Oh right! My turn!" Fu says with a smile heading down to the arena but her Sensei ( Itachi ) stopped her.

"Becareful with that one Fu, she has mind based Jutsu whatever you do don't let her use any of her Jutsu on you, end her quick." Itachi warned still in his disguise as she nodded now understanding that.

both of them were on the arena.

"Ready? Fight!" Hayate called out

"This will be easy. All I have to do is get in her mind and force her to forfeit-" Ino says in thought but was cut off when Fu punched her in the gut then felt another punch to her face sending her skidding across the arena.

Ino struggled to get up fazed by the punch to her gut and her face. Her jaw was sore from the hit.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Ino thought glaring at Fu as she pulled out two kunai and charged at Fu.

Fu seeing this smiled as she watched Ino come to her with both Kunai's slashing them at her but Fu was dodging and evading them smoothly and swiftly. Until Ino let herself out open Fu saw her chance to strike. And sprint a bit as she punched Ino again in the stomach then disarmed her, as Fu did a combo of kicks and punches to the girl as she did a uppercut to Ino's jaw knocking her in midair as the girl fell down on the ground out cold.

"Winner! Fu! Ino Yamanaka is unable to continue!" Hayate called out.

"Yeah!" Fu cheered as she went back up to the stands.

"Good work Fu." Yoriichi smiled

"Thanks Yoriichi-kun." Fu says hugging him and kissing his cheek.

"Yoriichi vs Kiba Inuzuka!" Hayate called.

"Kick his ass hard." Both Yugito and Fu says in unison

"Oh trust I will." Yoriichi says heading down to the arena to face his opponent

( With Itachi and Kabuto)

Having been in Tsukuyomi Kabuto tried to keep himself from falling apart from the torture Itachi was giving him bit soon he cracked like a egg unable to take it anymore as the young man spilled everything out to Itachi and where Orochimaru's base of operations is. Sound village

After interrogating Kabuto and torturing him, Itachi reported to his mistress telling her everything Kabuto told him and gave him the location of sound village.

"Good work Itachi. I will ready my forces and go there to Sound village to lay a surprise attack on him and his cronies. Just inform me when the snake leaves konoha so we will be ready for him." Origashaku says in her astral projection

"What do you want done with Kabuto? Send him to you as a prisoner?" Itachi asked

"No. dispose of him. He's already proved his usefulness to us." She replied

"Understood." He says watching her Astral form vanish as he turns towards Kabuto who was still chained to a cross.

the right hand man of Orochimaru was passed out due to the Tsukuyomi taking a effect on him.

Itachi brought out his sword coated in Black Amaterasu Flames and swiftly beheaded Kabuto.

After beheading him. Itachi burned his body and head with his Amaterasu as the body began to burn to ashes.
