So here we go yeah?

Moosker chapter 1 . Apr 15

Great first chapter I love the way you write, my best wishes go to your family in Ukraine. Hope to see the next chapter soon.

The only review. Understandable for only two chapters lol. Thank you honestly. Good news, my sister was able to get out and into Poland and now Spain with my aunt. I am sorry I have been away.

Well that's all I have for now so let's just get to the story.


Naruto and Fuu followed through the brush until they came upon the puppet user. Each landed in the clearing and looked around. He was crooked and bulgy but they both could smell him. He wasn't among the living anymore.

Fuu looked at Naruto with a smirk. "May I go please? I've been wanting to try out the sage mode that Jiraiya-sensei taught me."

Naruto nodded as he stared down Sasori. "Just be careful please."

"Oh, you two wish to split this up? Unwise, if I must say." Sasori spoke as explosions were heard in the distance.

He chuckled again and his wooden form opened, and a boy stepped out. Another puppet for sure, but this one was different. Both Fuu and Naruto could see the heart seal in the middle of the boy. The boy had red hair and big eyes. Naruto growled low and Fuu shook her head.

"You mutilated your own body to do what exactly?" The blonde teen spoke loudly. "To live forever? Do you really think you can cheat death Sasori? I think you have been mistaken and honestly this disgust me."

"I didn't ask your opinion boy. In fact, I don't care for it. I lost my parents when I was a child, so I have very little care for your nuances or platitudes. I won't die like they did. I will outlive you, and the girl. Oh, what am I saying, you both will die here today anyways." He laughed loudly, which itself was creepy.

Fuu didn't wait to talk as she took off towards the man, a wind pressure ball already in her hand as she slammed it down right in front of him. She flipped over him and sent some wind slices at him before the pressure ball exploded. She skipped back and ready another attack before she saw it, the iron. She paused a second and narrowed her eyes. He was fine. There was another puppet in front of him now. Naruto recognized him immediately from his time studying the Kage.

"That's the third Kazekage. Fuu he uses iron sand."

She nodded and wings sprouted from her back as she shot forward again, the sand shooting towards her and blowing up trees and ground around them. She was slammed into a moment by the sand and thrown to the ground.

"Fuu!" Naruto shouted and almost ran for her when a wind blast shot out and bugs from the forest started to seep in.

Fuu's eyes were glowing for a moment and when they settled, she had eyeliner around her eyes. But she hadn't unlocked sage mode. It took her a moment to set it up. Chomei was gathering sage energy for her. But the bugs started to swarm the area, no matter how much iron came around them the bugs came. They ate through the chakra threads and as soon as they did Fuu shot forth and slammed into the Kazekage's puppet form sending it away from them. It flew a few yards before it smashed against the rasengan of Naruto.

She glared at the man before shooting forth again at him. Suddenly hundreds of puppets came into being as he unsealed them. Two hundred. Three. Four. Soon there was a thousand and Fuu was dodging each and every one of them. She was panting however, her chakra hardening around her skin. The reason? Poison. Chomei felt the presence of them and hardened the girl's skin to block them. That didn't mean that the puppet's attacks didn't hurt.

Soon she was starting to tire. The man, Sasori, laughed and sent a tornado of puppets at her. She screamed as it slammed into her and was thrown back. She landed near Naruto in a clump, she skin bleeding before it started to heal.

"Fuu! You Bastard!" He said growling and was about to jump in when she spoke.

"Naruto...huh huh... I need this. Let me fight."

He paused listening to her pant before stepping back and nodding. Fuu shakily stood up as her cuts healed up. Chomei was synthesizing an antidote for her as they spoke. She felt herself getting stronger, but until the antidote was done, she couldn't go sage mode. She fought to push herself forward until she was finally running at the man, two rasengan like attacks in her hands. But instead of balls they were stingers.

Left, right, left, right she slashed. The stingers stabbing through puppets until finally the body was fully healed. Now Chomei started to inject more and more antidote into her system. She was close to ready to fully go out, but she still had to survive another ten minutes. You see Fuu's chakra was chaotic to say the least. She hadn't just trained on sage mode but another form. This sadly backfired and her training was hindered. Not so much in that she couldn't complete it. More so that she didn't have the control again because she blasted her chakra coils.

Left, right again. She was slammed back by a water wave and around forty puppets broke through to hit her. She jumped on one and stabbed his "soul" bond. She could feel them. Feel their pain. Maybe she was imagining things but it's what she was feeling. She felt her body finally kick into over gear as her eyeliner came back and her eyes when toad like. A cloak appeared on her and a backpack. She chuckled stabbing through another puppet before her hands became scythe like. "Time to go all out Sasori." she said as she landed.

-meanwhile back with the others.-

Samri was right, Itachi and Kisame had indeed shown up. Jiraiya was standing there looking at them. They weren't running like he originally though, and that was probably due to the woman standing next to Itachi, holding his hand. She looked dangerous. Especially with the grin she had plastered on her face.

The woman was around five and a half feet tall. She had blackish silver hair, almost like looking at the moon. Her eyes were also silver, but dark. It was like looking at a lost soul who had lost so much. The tanned, mocha skin contrasted with both of this. Her lips, a nice shade of pink. Natural features all around. She was definitely older but looked young, but without the genjutsu or any outside help.

Her dress was a shirt, not a normal one. It had pockets everywhere and mesh sleeves down to her hands covering the space between her thumb and fingers. Her belly was showing but itself had a seal on it coloured blue like the sky, a huge contrast to her soft silky skin. She had on tights with a mini skirt added. The tights only went down to her knees and stopped. More mesh followed after that. The blue tights however caught Jiraiya's eyes and not for the pervy reasons. No, they had seals upon seals on them. Weapon seals, healing seals. She was a walking storage trunk.

Itachi looked different as well. Normally, and according to intel, he was sick. Now he looked healthy. Tsunade herself narrowed her eyes and eye'd the girl up and down. The girl had obvious healing abilities however she hadn't fully healed Itachi. Tsunade was already aware of his sickness, as he had come to her once and she had not been able to deal with it at that moment. In fact, she had spent the last five years going over it to try and find a cure. Not just for him but for others like him.

There was no cure for chakra poisoning however, or the disease that came with it from his eyes, which she had never seen before in anyone else. The only people she had even seen the chakra poisoning in was the god's of shinobi. Hiruzen had a minor one, her grandfather died from it. She didn't know if Madara had it, but she did know of Itachi's. It just proved even more how strong he was.

But why weren't they attacking. It couldn't just be the two Sannin around them. It couldn't be Kakashi even. This was answered soon enough however.

"Runa, I need you to go back up Sasori. Or at least take out that Bijuu that I feel. The seven tail's indeed here." Itachi spoke quietly.

"I wouldn't be trying to go anywhere. We are here and now Itachi, Kisame, pretty lady." Jiraiya said waggling his eyebrows at the girl before looking seriously at Tsunade giving her a que.

She nodded and amped up her power. Guy walked forward as well and amped his own power, unlocking the fifth gate. Kakashi raised his eye and allowed his Mangekyo eye (yes it was unlocked, and he knew about it) shine through for Itachi to see. Sakura walked forward as well as Ino. Hinata came forward with Neji. One by one the Jonin walked forward and got into a fighting stance, each unique to their own selves.

"Everyone go back to the village except Sakura, Kakashi, and Guy, and Jiraiya. I will be here to heal them, if need be, but the villagers could be under attack. These three are way too confident." Tsunade spoke growling.

Runa did indeed take that time to leave, and Itachi whispered Amaterasu as Jiraiya tried to follow. Everything was quiet, everyone staring at each other until Sakura ran forward.

"Chaaaa!" she yelled. "Cherry Blossom Smash!"

She was running at kisame and threw her fist at him. He blocked it with Samahada but was still pushed back. She sent another, and another, and then a kick. He was pushed away from Itachi until the green beast of the leaf slammed into throwing him into back around a hundred yards. The fight had begun, as Jiraiya went sage mode and took off towards itachi as Kakashi used his mangekyo on the amatarasu being thrown forward. Jiraiya was the only one out of the two of them able to withstand his tsukyomi but Kakashi wasn't paying attention to his genjutsu. He had a seal on him to prevent that this time.

Jiraiya threw a kick at the man and was blocked before Itachi brought up susanoo. "Jiraiya, of course you would force me to bring out this susanoo."

"You won't kill me, Itachi. You know this don't you?" He snarled.

Jiraiya was aware of Itachi's secret and had faith the man wouldn't kill him. It was however very different for Sakura and Guy with Kisame. Of which there was explosions of water happening over to their left.

Kisame was shooting shark after shark at the two. Really the only people they were there for were Gaara and now Fuus. They were all told not to engage the ninetails. Kisame was actually mad. They could See Gaara retreating. His presence diminishing with every second. He sent another blast and a wild wave at them, but both ninja just punched through it and kept coming at them. It didn't matter that Samahada was slowly draining their chakra. A punch hit his cheek suddenly and he was thrown back.

Itachi also was having a hard time. Kakashi found out real quickly that he could kamui the Akatsutki member's susanoo and made a hole in it. The broken ability not protecting him from anything.

-meanwhile again-

Fuu was tearing through Sasori's puppet now. Full sage mode and she was going full out. Smashing through one and jumping over another cutting it in half. "Three hundred!" She yelled as she slammed down on another one counting that one as well.

The entire field was littered with broken pieces of wood and metal as she tore through them. Honestly Naruto was starting to get bored. Not that he was going to interfere or anything. At the moment however, he could feel the incoming chakra and bit his lip. He didn't want to leave her here; however, he also did not wish to have another person with negative energy coming into this fight. That's all they needed.

He made a quick decision and left her there with a clone of his. He had to focus on the new opponent. Fuu felt him leave but she was too busy smashing through puppets. This guy seriously had a never-ending amount.

"Three hundred and thirty!" She said to the clone before she was slammed back onto the ground by a blast from the side. She looked as she landed on her feet and saw a big puppet that looked like an A rank ninja she had heard about. She didn't care as she took off towards it and slashed at it. It pulled back and sent a lightning blast at her. She jumped back and gabbed a puppet and pulled it in front of her to take the hit.

She jumped back and a whole bunch of puppets got in her way pissing her off, so she placed her hand to her mouth and blew. 'Fire Style: Mist Blast Dance Technique!'

The mist that came out of her mouth blew around her and she used wind to blow them into the puppet swarm before she clenched her teeth and sent fire chakra their way. The misty area was soon a flaming ocean, melting the puppets and exploding some on the outside of the new lake of fire. Then she aimed at another pach and with a glare, sent one of Samri's pulse blast but with fire at them. "three hundred ninty."

She then did air riding and burning rush, speeding her up as she took off towards the other puppet that had first hit her hard. This A rank jonin was going to die fast. She ran towards it and jumped past it before jumping past again. She was trying to confuse Sasori a bit before she held up her hand. "RASENGAN!" she yelled as she slammed it into the puppet. It blew apart instantly and she continued through two more puppets before dodging another. The puppets were getting stronger and stronger with each and every kill she did. Not like they were already strong, no they were the same puppets. These were getting stronger somehow.

She paused as she held up a flame shield powered up by a wind shield and waited a moment. She panted as her sage mode ran out and made two of her own shadow clones to go gather it. "I'll just do it the Naruto way."

She sent the clones away and kept at it blowing apart puppets as she ran through them, literally. With another punch she sent one back, but now that she had run out of senjutsu chakra she was weaker. These puppets werent doing so well, but neither way she. Chomei was sending chakra into her as fast as she could but there was something off about these puppets. Then she realized. They were stealing her bijuu chakra.

"How?" she snapped.

"Oh, little girl. Did you not think I would be prepared to fight you? Of course, I felt I would have to fight Gaara, but I realized you may show up if the rumors were true. You can hit them all you want, but with each hit they will get stronger and stronger. The chakra you use to destroy one will transfer to another. So, keep at it haha.

Fuu thought for a moment. She had to. If she could just get to the middle puppet, she could win this. She had to try. She started to grow a bit and seven tails sprouted from her in a red aura.

"I just told you girl! I wouldn't do that!"

She grinned a grin that would scare most mortals as her mouth opened. This was the first time she would ever do this, but she had to try. She was going to overload these puppets.

"Tailed beast bomb!"

She shot forth the huge bomb and it shattered another five hundred puppets, stopping right before Sasori, when it expanded, she felt it. Her clone had popped, and she felt the energy. Her body went into sage mode again and she growled before summoning two toads. "Fight the puppets, watch out they have poison."

She took off towards Sasori, as the toads fought the puppets. When she caught up, she was slapped back by another puppet, one with the energy of her bomb.

She growled and said "Fuck this. Fire release: dragon flame release song technique! Fuck you Sasori!"

Several fireballs left her mouth and turned into dragon heads. She kept expelling her lungs as fire dragon heads slammed into each puppet setting it on fire. Once she was out of breath, she took another in and used Flowing Wind Fist and sent punch after punch towards each of the flaming puppets, blasting them to pieces. Then she used Assassins rush and blasted puppets behind her and shot herself towards Sasori at great speeds.

Her sage mode ran out and the final clone popped sending her the chakra. She slammed her fist using beast palm into the man and threw him back, not caring about the cuts she got on her body from him somehow. She was immune now. She sped forth again and slammed into him. His heart was cracking. She chuckled and once again slammed into him. But this time she kept hold of him. Her grasp gripping his heart.

"Any last words?"

"You will all die. No one lives forever." He said as he gasped.

She nodded and crushed his heart, blood leaking around her hand as she finally let go of the sage mode and fell to her knees. She panted and swiped a hand across her forehead, sweat pouring down her face.

After a moment she stood back up and let the toads go, as she went to look for Naruto.

-With Naruto-

Naruto was as of now staring at Runa. She too was staring at him like some weird shonen anime. Naruto spoke first.

"So, I have to fight you I'm assuming. I must admit I am not very versatile right now, have a lot on my mind." He said as he shrugged. "Buuuut, I will make an exception to kick your ass." With a grin he didn't even give her a warning and shot forward.

She swiftly rocked back and sliced forward with a water scythe attached to her arms. He jumped back just as she cut through his shirt. She was fast. She shot forth and kept slicing at him as her eyes went dark and markings appeared on her face. He recognized it right away. It was sage mode.

This was confirmed when wolves appeared in puffs of smoke and started to try and ram him. He jumped over each one and summoned his own foxes. That's when her eyes went wide, and she realized who she was fighting.

"The ninetails huh? I was told to stay away from you. Well let's see why." her hands lit up with shadow fire and she shot flames at him

He flipped over them and landed sending a great breakthrough at her. She switched it up and sent her own shadow fireball at him. He grunted and sent up a wall of his own fire to block it before jumping over the wall and doing a rasenshuriken before throwing it at her. She flickered away and switched with a shadow wolf she had made. The rasenshuriken slammed into the wolves and exploded. From behind the smoke that had shot up from the explosion, Naruto shot forth, his eyes slitted. He was in his own sage mode, albeit not complete.

Runa fully activated her own and shot forth, each slamming into other and tumbling around. Naruto was getting angry, and it showed because he was being sloppy. Every now and then she would hit or kick him back. Maybe even blast him with some kind of Jutsu. His healing factor was luckily pretty high.

"Shadow Fist meteor blast!" she shouted as she started to punch faster, with her fists covered in flaming shadows.

"Moonlight coverage!" She shouted another jutsu as the world turned dark, the area where the moon was shining through and the light bouncing off it hitting her.

Her attacks were getting fast and Naruto was not keeping up. He was pushed back and back while holding up his arms.

"Think Naruto, THINK." He thought to himself as he blocked each and every attack.

"Kyuubi Hellfire technique!" He shouted as flames burst from him and a wave knocked the woman back.

Now with flames on his body he used wind armor and lit up even more as he took off again towards her. he then used red wind and started a fiery whirlwind and sent five towards her. She dodged each one but gasped when they turned back towards her and Naruto literally hopped from one to another, his sage mode hitting another stage as he grew to be faster than her.

She was hit by the jutsu and screamed as she was thrown back and panting. Naruto was also panting but soon stopped. She shot forward using dark moon dragon and from her fist a dragon flowed out, and another from her kick at him. Both missed but that was the point as the shadow dragons turned silver and roared coming at him again, absorbing the whirlwinds into them and turning a silvery fire as they tried again and again to hit him.

"These are special! They use absorption techniques and soon I will have that energy." she said as she healed herself cackling.

Naruto growled and shot his palms forth. If they absorbed, then he'd give them more than they could handle. This was an obvious A rank jutsu and he was going to show her up. She grabbed their hand and started pumping chakra into them. Pumping more and more, they turned black again and red. Silver and blue. They couldn't make up their mind, to the observer. He used flame fist, wind fist, rasengan, rasenshuriken even. They kept growing and growing.

She was still cackling for a while until she saw it. The cracks. The dragons were cracking! How! Naruto was sweating but had a smile on his fast as Runa started to get lightheaded from too much chakra input. "That bitch Uchiha taught me this. I should be able to use it like she does! She sucked the chakra from Kisame!" She screamed as the dragons exploded, blowing her backwards into a tree.

She was pissed now. As she got out, her whole body went silver and she grew another seven feet. Her body erupted with black flames that flowed like water as she sent eleven tendrils at Naruto, gripping him tightly. He gasped but kept smiling. That pissed her off more.

"Try this! Lunar Flaming Hydra!" She shouted as silvery fire dragon heads shot out around her.

He broke free but was hit with her attack. He made more rasengan and destroyed a head. But two more popped from it. She was laughing again as she bled black liquid from her mouth. Even he could tell she was running herself dry. But she also just kept healing herself using the moon light.

-back with the others-

Itachi had backed into Kisame. They were being pushed back. Of course, he wasn't trying as hard as he could. In fact, he was going easy. Of course, he was as the spy. However, this was even strong for him.

"Kakashi Hatake. I admire your performance; I would have never realized you had come so far." He said to the man in front of him.

Guy himself was being healed by Tsunade and he chuckled. "Thats my rival! YOSH!"

Itachi nodded and sent out a crow to tell Runa they were leaving, before he and Kisame took off.

-back with Naruto-

Naruto was still having a hard time before his toad sage of a girlfriend came slamming down into Runa, kicking her back and releasing the jutsu.

"Babe, you didn't defeat her yet? I'm disappointed." She tsked at him.

"She heals using the moonlight. It's that jutsu!" He argued getting up from his defensive position.

She shook her head and laughed. "Yeah well them let's take it out shall we?"

He nodded his head and they linked hands before both made a rasengan with their outer hands. They brought those hands together merging the rasengan into one, inputting two different types of bijuu chakra into it. Then it started to spin like it was a rasengshuriken. Then it hardened with earth, and burned with fire. Earth, wind, and yang energy.

"Mixed Bijuu technique: Chaotic Pulse Rasengan!" They shouted as they shot forth the rasengan at the sky.

"NO!" Runa shouted as she shot forth tendrils to try and grab it but was surprised when she couldn't touch it. It pushed away her darkness and hit the fake moon she had placed. They couldn't have known...could they.

It was then she noticed them smirking and nodding behind her. She looked back and saw the real moon starting to come out. She cursed and screamed. She went to go shoot something at them when she was hit by the same pulse rasengan, it had destroyed her fake moon and come back to slam into her. She was thrown backwards far smashing through several trees. WHen it was all said and done she stood up and threw up.

"Fuck that hurt." SHe weakly said coughing up blood.

She activated her healing abilities and started to heal her body when she received the crow and cursed.

"I have to go, as much fun as it was dealing with you two, not, I will find you again Naruto." She curtsied and left.

It was then Naruto was smacked in the arm. "You should've sent a clone to come get me if you were feeling tired. Hell, why are there no clones? Did you think you wouldn't need them!" Fuu snapped.

"Hey, I had that." He said annoyed as he rubbed his arm.

Fuu sighed and then chuckled. "Knuckle head. Kurama, next time he does that, please bop him."

Naruto winced as Kurama laughed inside him. Kireina, one of the Summons came up and leaned on Naruto. "Yeah, you got it Kit. Hey Naru, I gotta go ya hear? Don't call me again to deal with some simple wolves, mmmk?" She winked and dispelled.

Fuu shook her head and grabbed his hand. "Come on, I feel like we should go back before more people worry about us."

He nodded and they took off.


Sorry about how much time that took AND how short it is. I was trying to get it out as soon as possible. ANother thing may slow me down, it's just my mood. so I'm not making excuses anymore. just enjoy when they come out please.
