Chapter 23: The Hunter vs the Hunted part 1.
( Izanami's Hive a Day ago)
She smiled with pride as she watched her now grown up children maturing after consuming lots of food she has brought. All 15 of them.
"Now my children... I will teach all of you to be prepared for the outside world." Izanami says now rising from her Hive Resin made Throne facing all 15 of her children who kneeled. Facing her seeing her as their Mother/Queen.
( An: Side note they don't look human. They are actual Xenomorphs.
"I plan to take over this world and land. Repopulate it with our kind. Get rid of the shinobi and destroy the era of the shinobi. Once I complete your training and teaching you all how to hunt and survive. As a Hive we grow strong together. No one can stop us. Our first goal is to head for the leaf village and see will it become a suitable nesting ground and Hive. Once that is completed we find where my father is and kill him. Also take control of sound Village. Then the next village after the next village. We conquer and dominate all!" Izanami shouts as her children all screeched and hissed in agreement with their mother.
The Elemental Nations will belong to her and her Hive. Who could possibly stop her? When she is Orochimaru's most deadliest creation. And when she finds her father she will do what she always wanted to do. Kill him.
Ever since she was created. She didn't have any attachments to Orochimaru. He was not Hive material in her eyes. Her instincts told her that she must get rid of him. At a young age she had to learn from the snake sannin. Learn from not just him. But Kimmimaro with his bone release since she has Kimmimaro's blood in her too. Then there is Kabuto who told her how to heal and whatnot. All three of them are her fathers. While Mikoto who she never knew nothing about at the time is her mother. Since she's a Artificial Clone of Mikoto Uchiha. She knows of Orochimaru's dream. Sure she was meant for destroying Konoha someday but she knew Orochimaru would attempt to take over her body someday in which she couldn't allow. Because she has goals of her own. So she bided her time to learn everything from her fathers. And when she was of age and at the right time she decided to Kill her father in his sleep. He proved his usefulness to her. However her chance was denied when Kabuto walked in and caught her in the act on top of Orochimaru's bed about to impale him with her sharp tail. Which alerted her father who realizes she was going to kill him.
It took Orochimaru, Kabuto, Kimmimaro, the Sound 4 and Guren to subdue her and lock her away because she was deemed too dangerous and too clever for her own good. Orochimaru didn't want any chances of his own creation trying to kill him. And killing her would be a waste because he invested too much in her.
And now that she's free. Going to kill Orochimaru this time and all who stands in her way.
( A Month later)
Konoha is now under attack due to the secret invasion of Suna and Sound who are now attacking the village as Sound and Suna shinobi attack, during the finals of the chunin exams.
Naruto and his hunters all suited up and prepared for battle as well.
"Lets go!" Naruto bellowed as Artemis, Falcon, Sabretooth, Onslaught and Nyra all went out to battle. Haku would remain in the Namikaze manor to protect Tsunami and Inari.
The group of hunters would cloak themselves and would engage on several Sound shinobi and Suna Shinobi.
Artemis would fire several arrows at multiple Sound Shinobi. Falcon would gut a Suna Shinobi with his jagged sword and would fire his plasma canister at one charging sound Shinobi.
"Summoning Jutsu!" Naruto says now summoning Velociraptors.
He summoned the Big One and her pack, along with Blue and the Raptor Squad.
"You need our help summoner?" Blue asked with her sisters looking ready for some fun.
"Yes. Kill the shinobi with the sand headbands and music note headbands there are the enemy understand?" Naruto told Blue who nodded as she turned to her sisters and the Big one who nodded as they screeched and went to pounce on any suna and sound Shinobi.
"AAHH! WHAT THE HELL! AAHH!" Screamed a Sound Shinobi until he was pounced on by Blue the Raptor who ripped his to shreds. So were the other Raptors.
Naruto After slashing and stabbing one and 4 other Sound shinobi and suna shinobi he shot his harpoon at one Far away Sound shinobi and yanked him.
"GET OVER HERE!" Once yanked the Sound shinobi suddenly lost his head. He would glance at all his other hunters fighting in the invasion to defend their home.
His glance would look towards the Chunin exam stadium.
"The rest of you handle the rest! I'm going to the stadium!" Naruto says running off
"Go on! We will handle this!" Growled Falcon.
( Outside the Village at the entrance)
Izanami had made herself known while wearing a cloak and hood.
She walks in to go see the chaos and join. That was until she caught a familiar scent.
"So my father is here! Perfect!" she smiled with excitement as she walked in. She wasn't by any means alone. Her children are sneaking into the walls of the village by going into the sewers.
( With Onslaught)
Onslaught just butchered 16 Sound Shinobi and 12 Suna Shinobi while cloaked. As he gripped his Double war axes. He growled when he saw 4 more surround him.
From the far corner of the street. Izanami sensed something as she looked in onslaught's direction as she herself saw a cloaked silhouette.
She herself began to go invisible.
Onslaught beheaded two of the sound shinobi while the third tried to come at him from the side only to get blasted by his plasma canister as the remaining sound nin dropped on the ground in fear pissing his pants. Onslaught lightly growled as he approached his enemy and prepared his war axe going to finish him until he felt a sharp pain Rip through him! Growling and grunting in pain he looked down and saw a familiar blades tipped tail sticking out of his stomach. His eyes widened behind his mask as his cloaked device went off revealing his form as he was being turned around to greet Izanami who also uncloaked herself.
"Ser-Serpent!?" gasped Onslaught seeing the face of izanami under her hood. She hissed and opened her mouth to impale his skull with her inner Jaw killing him then tosses his body aside. The sound Shinobi who saw this instantly ran for his life.
But Izanami wasn't going to let him get away as she was faster and pounced him as he screamed she would then force him to look at her.
"Where is Orochimaru?" She asked.
"He's at the Chunin exam stadium trying to kill the Sandaime Hokage that's all I know! Please let me go!" he screamed.
"Thank you." she says as she spat a glob of thick acid on his face melting his face and skull causing him to scream in agony. She would get off him and would head right towards that direction of the stadium.
Good. Now she gets to kill Orochimaru and the HOKAGE!.
( chunin exams Stadium)
Naruto who was cloaked made it to the stadium as he saw the Hokage booth was covered by a barrier of some sorts. He zoomed in on the image and saw Hiruzen fighting Orochimaru. Along with four figures behind the barrier.
There had to be a way to get in. Unless…
( Inside the barrier)
Hiruzen the Sandaime Hokage was in a battle of his life fighting Orochimaru of the snakes. His once prized pupil.
"You won't escape this time Orochimaru. I will do what I should have done a long time ago." Hiruzen would say holding his battle staff. While Orochimaru had a nasty smirk.
"Today will be the day you and this village will fall Sarutobi-sensei! Witness as I summon your predecessors!" Orochimaru declared going to use the Edo tensei only for a silhouette to pop out the ground and fire a blue beam at his left arm blasting it off causing Orochimaru to scream in agony at the loss of his arm.
Naruto uncloaked himself and stood by the Hokage.
"How did you-" Hiruzen asked grateful that Naruto found a way to come in and help him.
"I came from under. Which is how I found a way in. Need help?" Naruto says behind his mask glaring at Orochimaru who scowled at him.
"How dare you!?" Yelled Orochimaru holding the stump of his left arm that had been shot off.
"Give up Orochimaru! You are cornered!" Hiruzen would say as both he and Naruto were ready to engage upon the snake sannin. The Sound four couldn't do nothing. There was silence among them. As Orochimaru opened up his mouth spitting out his sword Kusanagi.
Orochimaru glared at the two. He wasn't going to retreat. He came this far! And he wasn't going to stop and run!
Before either of them could do anything. Naruto saw something behind Orochimaru a silhouette.
"I will not be denied-AAAAAHHHH!" Orochimaru screamed when he felt a sharp bladed edge impale him. The silhouette dropped its camouflage as the hood was off revealing it none other than Izanami!
"OROCHIMARU-SAMA!" Yelled the sound 4.
"Mikoto!?" Hiruzen asked in confusion and shock. How is this possible?! She's supposed to be dead!?
Naruto widened his eyes behind his mask as he saw what was sticking out of Orochimaru's gut. He knew that bladed tail from anywhere.. it's a Serpent's tail!?
Orochimaru himself looked up and became much more paler seeing his creation!?
"Dark Empress?! What are you doing?!" He rasped out with blood leaking from his mouth.
"Hello... Father! " Izanami says with a hiss.
"Father?!" Thought Hiruzen glancing at Izanami who looks exactly like Mikoto Uchiha but looks different.
Izanami looks towards the Sandaime Hokage then at Naruto but her focus was on her father who looks at his "Daughter"
"That is not my name anymore father. My new name is Izanami and you acknowledge it!" She says glaring at her Father/creator. As the snake sannin spat blood staring at her then at his enemies. He needed to get her on his side!
"Izanami... Stop what you are doing and help me kill our enemies! Help me and I will reinstate your services back to my side!" He commanded until he saw her eyes narrowed
"Help you? Do you really take me for a fool father? I know you. I know of what you are planning should I even Think. Of joining forces with you. You will intend to use me as your next vessel am I right?" She retorted with a narrowed gaze as his surprise increased knowing that she's right. And that he would do it.
"Izanami! I command you to put me down this instant and kill our enemies! Kill them now- AAAHHH!" He screamed when she pulled her tail blade out of his gut
This made Naruto, Hiruzen and the Sound four tense at the scene. Orochimaru looked at the gaping hole she left in his gut then back up at her.
"What have you done...? How dare you...?! Don't you know? You are my creation? I gave you life! And I can take it AWAY! You are MINE! Now Obey me-" Orochimaru yelled but was cut short when Izanami grew a long black blade from her wrist and beheaded Orochimaru which shocked everyone.
Orochimaru's head rolled right besides her with a horrified expression. She would glance down at his horrified expression and spat thick acid on his head melting it as she then stomped his head crushing it.
Suddenly those with curse marks would scream as they felt their curse seals leave them. Including the sound 4, Anko and Sasuke.
After killing her father she eyed the sound four and with speed she ran to them and bisected Jirobo apart. Then stabbed Kidomaru gutting him multiple times. She lunged and spat Acid at the sakon Beheading him and then stabbed his heart with her blades.
Tayuya fell on her ass scared as she saw her life flash before her eyes when she saw Izanami now charge at her with the intent to kill her.
Before Izanami could even make that attempt Naruto decided enough was enough and he intervened holding his sword blocking her blades.
Tayuya became unconscious going into shock that her life was nearly taken.
Izanami moved back as she saw the Hokage move in on her with his staff and evaded him.
Naruto lunged forward with his sword swinging and slashing but she was so fast that she evaded his strikes and blows. Her Sharingan was on and glanced at her opponent.
He charged forward and attempted to thrust his katana sword at Izanami but she blocked it then countered it as she swiped her tail at his feet knocking him off and then tried to stab him with her blades yet Naruto rolled out of the way in time and sprinted to her but she was ready for this she also sprinted and dropped kicked Naruto with chakra enhanced strength knocking him into a wall.
Hiruzen glared and charged forward at Izanami as she turned around noticing him. He then lept up and landed a blow to her chest with his staff knocking her back as he twirled his weapon and bashed her head with it then struck forward into her face pushing her back causing her to fall. She looked at the Kusanagi sword which wasn't far from her reach.
Right when she was down Hiruzen saw his chance to kill his Student's creation.. he knows this abomination is NOT Mikoto Uchiha.
Naruto came out of the wall and debris as he prepared himself.
Izanami however turned around and held Kusanagi and would extend the blade thrusting it right through Hiruzen's heart As she added Acid infinity into it.
Hiruzen gasped in pain and dropped his staff.
"NO!!" Naruto growled in anger as he charged at her.
Izanami saw the downed Kage and prepared to finish him off but was also impaled by Naruto. She gave a loud screech and snarl that was inhuman. She backhanded him knocking him away from him.
She clutched her stab wound.
Naruto looked up only to widen his eyes behind his mask at what he was seeing.
Her stab wound is healing?!
"What the hell is she?! Kind of abomination is this!?" Naruto thought behind his mask
"No one has ever managed to do that to me before! And you will die! Masked warrior!" Izanami snarled as she charged at Naruto and would deliver a kick to his torso sending him flying right into the forest of death as she too followed him. To slay her prey.
( In the forest of death)
Naruto got up rubbing his chest. He knows she's here in the forest he cloaked himself and decided to find her.
He pulled out his plasma canister pistol
He heard hissing suddenly he walked to the source of it. He saw her standing out in the open looking for him.
Growling lowly he slowly and calmly raised his plasma pistol getting a good aim at her.
As he aimed ready to pull the trigger. On his left the bushes rustled and in view was Her! Hissing at him. Which surprised him.
"Clever Abomination..." Naruto muttered now realizing that she fooled him by creating a Shadowclone! He tried to turn her and shoot her only for her to lunge on him and knock the weapon out of his hands as she pinned him to the ground going to use her inner jaw to impale his skull but he sent a hard kick to her stomach knocking her back.
Naruto rises up with his katana as he watched her stand tall holding the Kusanagi sword.
Both eyed each other.
It was now a duel between the Hunter and the Hunted.
Both of them charged with Naruto roaring and Izanami hissing and screeching as the two got into a deadlock with their weapons clashing.

An: like the chapter? Their fight will continue in the next chapter.
Until next time.
