Chapter 47: Past Drama Ensues, Increasing Craziness

Within the Land of Tea, the race had begun as the combatants went off, however. . .

The Wasabi family's runner, Idate Morino had ran off in a completely different direction as the Boss Jirōchō had his eye closed and had a calm expression.

"I knew he'd run away, that bastard Idate." One of the Wasabi member stated with a rude tone.

"Knowing him this long, you must've figured this would happen." Another member added.

"It was a mistake to let him run!" A third member declare.

This was all Jirōchō could take as he turned to look at the members of the Wasabi family. "You idiots! Idate isn't that kind of kid!" He declared with an annoyed tone.

"Boss. . ." All of the members got out with regret of making their boss displeasure.

"I believe in Idate." Jirōchō declared with absolute faith in his tone. Then he lean towards the direction where Idate had ran towards. "He must have a plan." He stated.

"Jirōchō!" A voice suddenly called out.

Said man in response turned to see who had called him. "Chief Retainer!" Jirōchō got out as the man was accompanied by the Wagarashi.

"How do you think you're going to settle this?" The Chief Retainer demanded to know from the Boss of the Wasabi's, while said man looked down as he couldn't give an answer. "You've turned this grand traditional festival into a mere farce. . .and worse, in the presence of the lord!" He then added with contempt.

"Sir, the race has just begun. Please watch it until the end." Jirōchō politely requested to the man.

There was a tense moment between Jirōchō and the Chief, as if waiting for the other say something else.

"Since you insist that much, you had better win." The Chief Retainer declared as he began to leave the area. "If you lose. . ." He suddenly said as he stop and then turned towards Jirōchō. "I'll ask for the dissolution of you family!" He declared.

However this did not intimidate Jirōchō in the slightest. "Agreed! I'm a man of my word. If Idate loses, you may do anything you wise." He declared with complete confidence.

The Chief only scoffed as he continue to walk as the leader of the Wagarashi turned towards Jirōchō. "How like the Wasabi's Jirōchō. Such confidence. Don't let us down." He declared with much sarcasm in his tone as he then followed the chief.

Jirōchō only raised his head to look at the sky. "I'm counting on you, Idate." He thought to himself as he had complete faith on the boy.

Meanwhile with the Wasabi runner. . .

Idate continued to run at a good speeds as his mind was wondering.

"Boss. . ." Idate thought with determination as memories of the past began to enter his mind.

Flashback no jutsu!

It was a snowy day as Boss Jirōchō was calmly walking along a wooden bridge while holding a umbrella.

Suddenly the sounds of running could be heard behind the man. "Give me your money!" A young boy suddenly declare as he attacked the man with a kunai in hand.

Jirōchō turned towards the attacker and used his umbrella, this made the boy was forced to backpedaled to avoid the attack.

Both man and boy look at each other for a few intense moments when. . .

Grooowl!

This made the intense moment instantly disappeared at the sound of the boy's stomach growling.

However the boy didn't let that stop him. "Just be still!" He declared trying to seem like he was still in control.

Jirōchō could only hummed at that. "A starving thief, huh. . ." He simply commented.

The boy was taken back by this. "Sh-Shut up!" He retorted as he readied his kunai once more and when to attack the man.

As the boy was about to reach Jirōchō, the man easily dodge the attack and grabbed the boy's hand that was held the kunai as he easily held him in a tight hold.

"A kid trying to act tough!" Jirōchō declared as he tighten his hold on the boy's arm, this forced him to drop his kunai. "With that little thing, you can't even peel an apple, can you!?" He then added as he now had the boy in a better hold. "Here!" He said as he then pushed the boy away.

As the boy fell on his but and then the boy heard the sound of something falling. He looked up just in time to see an object was heading towards him. Acting quickly, the boy catch the object and the apple that follow after, this made him looked at it with a confused expression.

"Take this." Jirōchō simply ordered. "Edged tools aren't for hurting people." He stated as he saw the boy began eating the apple bare. "You don't have anywhere to go, do you?" He then asked.

The boy continued to chew the apple and simply nodded.

"I'm Jirōchō of Wasabi of Degarashi Port." He introduced himself.

"Jirōchō. . .Wasabi?" The boy repeated asked.

"How about it?" Jirōchō suddenly began. "Why don't you come to my place?" He then asked.

"Huh!?" The boy got out in startlement. "B-But I just tried to. . ." He began to reminded of his early assault.

"Anyone on the verge of starvation will make such mistakes. . ." Jirōchō stated with an understanding tone. "I don't hold it against you." He simply stated with a smile.

The boy was left speechless at the man's kind and understanding words. "Ah. . .this. . ." He got out as he tried to returned the object the man had given him.

"I gave it to you." Jirōchō simply stated. "Keep it." He then stated as he went towards his umbrella and picked it up. "Don't ever do stupid things like stealing. . ." he simply said as he began to leave.

The boy could only look at the object on his hands with baffled expression. "M-Mister!" He called out to Jirōchō, when said man turned around the boy when to his knees and his hands here placed on the wooden bridge. "Listen! Make me you henchman! No, I mean. . .could you please, Boss!" He then requested as placed his forehead on the bridge as well.

Jirōchō only looked at the boy for a few moments. "What's your name?" He finally questioned.

"Idate. . .My name is Idate Morino." The boy introduced himself while still bowing down.

Then Jirōchō walked towards Idate and placed his umbrella above him, making him look up. "Shall we go then, Idate?" He asked with a smile.

Kai!

Idate kept running as he had the determined expression on his face. "Boss, just trust in me! I will win, no matter what!" He declared in his mind with determination.

A few meters behind the boy, the trio continued to ran after Idate as they ran on top of the tree branches.

"Look's like we'll catch with Idate in a few moments. "Hinata reported with her Byakugan activated.

"Yeah, but does that matter!? He's going in the complete opposite direction! How the hell can he win now!?" Naruto stated with an annoyed tone.

"Well he better have a plan or this was a waste of our time!" Satsuki declared with an annoyed tone.

Hinata however continued to look at the boy with a calm expression. "Anyways, I do believe that he does." She suddenly commented.

Both Naruto and Satsuki turned towards the girl with confused expression on their faces. "Huh?" They got out in unision.

Hinata slightly narrowed her eyes as she had a pensive expression. "I'm not really sure, but think he does have one as I can see him with a confident expression on his face." She stated as she then deactivated her Byakugan.

"Well he better or else I'm ripping out his skull and beating him with it if he doesn't!" Satsuki declared with her Sharingan unintentionally activating for a moment from her anger.

". . .But that doesn't seem physically possible." Naruto pointed out with a slight terrifying tone to the thought of it.

"I'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN DATTEBAKON!" Satsuki the declared.

Naruto sweatdropped to that as he then looked up ahead. "I'm gonna go on ahead to make sure he explains what the hell he's doing, you girls stay in the back." He stated as he then began to increase their speed.

Just a few feet behind the trio. . .

The three men that were with Aoi were on top of the trees as they were looking at the direction Idate and the trio were heading.

One of the men began to chuckle. "How lucky. Now, we can stop them here." He declared with a smirk.

Then as one, the three men grab their clothing and in one quick motion they pulled it and where now wearing Rain headbands and Rain Shinobi outfits.

"At any rate. . .who would've thought they'd be escorting him." The leader of the Rain shinobi commented with a slight surprised tone. "Double Lucky! Now I can pay them back for the Chunin Exams." He then declared with a delighted tone.

Then the leader began to recalled the shameful defeat he got from the blond.

Those memories made the Rain shinobi angrier. "You two go ahead. I'll keep them here." He ordered.

"All right!" The other two replied and disappeared via Shushin.

Back with the Team Seven trio and Wasabi runner. . .

Idate continued his ran through the forest as he passed a strange looking tree when Naruto landed next to him.

"Finally, we've caught up to you! Hey wait!" Naruto got out in annoyance, but the runner didn't reply or turn to look at him. "Geez! Why on earth did you come this way!?" He then asked.

"Shut up! It's none of your business!" Idate simply replied as he didn't slow down in the slightest.

"What the hell with that attitude to someone trying to help!?" Naruto shouted having enough with the young man's attitude.

"I said to shut up!" Was Idate's response as he and the blond continued running through the forest.

However just above them, the girls were watching the two boys running in a rock road on the side of a rocky mountain.

"Naru-kun! Be careful!" Satsuki called out when she saw a piece of the edge of road fell.

"Oh no! There's a genjutsu and they haven't notice it!" Hinata advised.

"Eh!? But I thought Naru-kun couldn't be affected by genjutsu!" Satsuki exclaimed in a nervous tone.

Hinata meanwhile narrowed to her eyes to this. "It must be because Kurama isn't actually with us, consciously at least." She deducted.

Satsuki slightly paled to that as she looked at the running boys and how it could possible end up in this narrow roads. "Shit!" She then exclaimed.

"Oh for the love of kami! I said wait up!" Naruto shouted with a frustrated tone.

"Screw you blondie!" Idate merely remarked in a irritated tone before his eyes caught on something. He stopped and saw the same strange looking tree he had passed a few minutes ago. "I've already been here?" He said to himself.

It was at this point that Naruto had reached the boy. "What was that?" He simply asked.

Idate didn't even paid any attention to the blond as he let out a groan. "Damn! Looks like I've been tricked by Genjutsu." He said to himself.

"Wait what!?" Naruto got out as he then remembered about the perk he had. "Oh right. . .Kurama isn't with me. . .so my immunity to genjutsu it's gone." He then thought.

Then Idate made a hand seal. "If that's the case. . ." He began to say as he send chakra to disrupt the genjutsu. "Kai!" He declared.

The young man then began to look around the genjutsu like forest and saw a light.

"There!" Idate declared as he ran towards the light.

"Hey! Wait you idiot!" Naruto called out.

"Naru-kun! Your on a mountainside!" Satsuki's voice echoed in the blond's head. "Kai!" She then added.

"What!?" Naruto responded with wide eyes as he looked at the runner while everything to him returned to actually being a mountainside. "Oh crap!" He then got out.

As Idate was running, an arc of light appeared and the scenery changed to a bamboo road. "I'm out of it!" He said with a cocky tone.

However the next thing the boy knew was that he had lost his footing and began to fall, it was at that moment that the sceny changed once more and Idate saw that he was now falling from the rocky mountain.

"Ah. . ." Idate got out as all he could do was flail his arms in shock and then began to plumed down below. "AAAAAAAAAAAH!" He then screamed as he fell.

Suddenly, Idate felt someone grabbing his back and he felt himself being hang on mid air. It was revealed to be Naruto as he was hanging by a rope on from his feet that stopped Idate's fall. "Just stay still unless you want to fall you idiot! We'll get pulled up now!" The blonde said with a straining tone.

Up on the roads edge, Satsuki and Hinata were holding onto the rope that was keeping the two boys from falling.

"Damn that was close!" Satsuki commented as she had cold sweat falling from her face. "Moh!" She then whined out as she held onto the rope.

"I still couldn't believe it was a double layer Genjutsu. Kurenai-sensei had told us that those are very difficult to make." Hinata reported with an impressed tone as the two girls then began to pull the rope.

"You idiot! It's you fault that we're going through all this shit!" Naruto shouted at the young man.

"Care to say that again you short bastard!?" Idate retorted as he tried to hit the blond.

"Don't call Naru-kun/Naruto-kun short dattebakon/dattebahi!" Satsuki and Hinata demanded in unison.

Because of that sudden outburst, the girls had slightly loosen their grip on the rope, this made a sudden jolt on the two dangling boys and because of this Naruto's shinobi pouch was open and all of his tools fell to the rivin.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! MY SHINOBI TOOLS!" Naruto shouted in shocked.

After being pull back to the rocky mountain road as both Naruto and Idate were sitting on the road, while the blond was crying as he looked at his now empty pouch where all of his tools were once where.

Both girls meanwhile slightly winced to that as they felt as they were the reason for the blond current state. "We're sorry!" They replied in unison once more.

Naruto let out a long sigh. "It's ok. . .I'll just buy more later." He got out as he pulled out his scroll that contain his Executioner's Blade. "I still have this so I'm good for the most part." He then added as he put the scroll back in his person.

Idate then let out a scuffed. "That was an unnecessary help!" He retorted with a bit of arrogance.

"What!? Unnecessary!?" Naruto shouted in pure annoying. "Newsflash asshole! Can't you even saw that we just save you!? A thanks is something you should atleast give!" He then added.

Satsuki then went and cracked her knuckles. "You want me to bust your balls? I will do it dattebakon!" The Uchiha declared while glaring at the runner.

This however didn't make Idate even flinch as he looked at the two with an anger expression. "You only saved me because it's your duty!" He retorted. "So I don't need to thank you!" He added.

"Ok! I had it!" Satsuki shouted as she was ready to beat the young man to a pulp.

"Please, calm down, although I don't like how he said it, he's still right." Hinata remarked with a sad yet angry tone, then she stood in front of Idate. "However if you don't wish to die, I highly suggest that you stay with us." She then all but ordered with a stern and serious tone. "Morino. . .where have I heard that name?" She meanwhile thought as she tried to remember.

This was responded by the young man scoffing as he turned around and began to walk at the same direction he was originally heading.

Naruto was ready to pull out his hair as he saw this. "Ok, where the hell are you going!? Degarashi Port is over that direction!" He asked with irritated tone.

Idate then looked back at the trio. "Baka, I'm heading north from here!" He replied with the first time he was serious.

"North? Is there a reason for going that direction?" Hinata questioned with a confused tone, then her eyes widen when her brain was connecting the dots. "There's a faster route isn't there?" She stated more so that asked.

"Wait what!?" Naruto asked with a surprised tone.

"A faster route?" Satsuki added.

"Not just that, it's more convenient with what's coming." Idate then answered with a smirk.

"I don't know. . .Can we trust this guy with that?" Naruto asked with a skeptical tone.

Idate scoffed yet again, but this time with disdain. "This is why shinobi's are good for nothing." He retorted.

"What was that?" Satsuki asked with her fist ready to hit the young man, but was stopped by an equally angry blond.

The young man took a deep breath as he looked straight at the trio. "At this time of year, a strong seasonal wind blows across this ocean. . ." Idate began to explained. "At the starting point, I watched the clouds and realized it. . .that the wind was coming." He stated.

To hearing that, HInata understood and nodded in response to that. "I see, so the wind will make the boats that were heading from the starting point straight to the Port of Degarashi takes twice or even three time the amount of time to reach it." She realised the significance of what the young man was implying.

Idate then continued. "On top of that, at the port of the north, there's an ocean current that flows straight to Nagi Island." He then added.

"I see, so you planned to use the currents to not only improve the boats speeds but also gain a huge margin of distance from the other runner taking the straight path." Hinata soon stated with an impressed tone.

"WELL YOU COULD HAVE TOLD US FROM THE BEGINNING!" Naruto and Satsuki meanwhile exclaimed in angry unison

"This part is different from you guys." Idate bragged as he pointed as his head. "Right here!" He declared.

With the Wagarashi Runner's side. . .

Just like Idate had predicted, the winds were blowing very strongly, making the opponents boat got at a slower pace.

Aoi was still at the wheel of the boat as he looked at the strong winds. "Looks like it's getting a bit rough." He reported.

The winds continued to blow harder and caused the boat slightly waiver by the winds.

Fukusuke was forced to give one of the ropes of the mastiff to prevent him from falling due to the winds. "Hey, don't push it! Head more towards the south!" He ordered.

"But that'll take up quite some time." Aoi simply stated.

"Once we get on the land, no one can run faster than I can. My victory is already set!" Fukusuke bragged with arrogance.

"Alright. . ." Aoi simply replied as he readjust the boats course, hiding a smirk on his face all the while.

However what the runner didn't notice was that four figures were following them on the water.

At the same time, back at the border of the land of Earth and Fire. . .

The Viper Squad and Kurama were still sleeping in the forest as the sun was at a good high as it hit a small white tiger cub.

"Meow~" A sly tiger cub meowed out as she began to stretch it stubby paws. She looked up and was that its was morning. "Nina-oneechan. . .wake up, it's morning." Ora called out to the girl.

Said girl was in a very unusual position, Nina was sleeping in the same curled up position as a cat would normally sleep while the other two animal companions were sleeping next to her.

Okki was sleeping right next to Nina's face as her ear would twitch every once in awhile while Ori was sleeping on top of Nina's head as if her hair was it's nest.

"Mmm~" Nina whined out as she didn't want to wake up. "Oppai. . ." She then got out in her sleep with a smile on her face and her ears twitching.

This made Ora let out a long sigh. "Every single morning. . ." She got out as she then looked at her companions. "Oi! Wake up already Okki! Ori!" She called out to them.

Okki instantly jumped in her placed as she looked around frantically. "WAH! AN ENEMY!?"

She exclaimed as she was in a crouching ready position. "I'LL RIP THEIR THROAT OUT FROM ANYONE WHO DARES TO HARM NINA-ONEECHAN! I'LL PROTECT HER WITH MY LIFE!" She declared while growling cutely.

Ori meanwhile jumped in startlement and then fell on her head. "Enemy! Enemy!" She exclaimed in surprise while still being upside down.

Ora could only hit her face with her paw. "Every. . .single. . .morning. . ." She repeated with an exasperating tone.

While this was going on, to those that didn't speak animal, the Viper Squad members could only hear loud meowing, barking and chirping.

"Oi! What's with all the racket!?" A very cranky Kurama questioned as he woke up.

"Augh. . .not so goddamn loud. . ." Anko growled out in an equally cranky tone.

"Mmm. . ." Yami moaned out in a sleepy tone as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. "What's all this noise?" She asked in a cute fashion.

It was at this point that Nina also woke up as she stood on all four lips and began to stretch and yawn like a cat. "Morning. . ." She simply got out as this was a regular morning wake up for her.

Kurama meanwhile finally got the sleep out of his system, then he looked on at the brown haired girl as she woke up and then looked at the silver/blue haired kunoichi samurai while letting out a chuckle. "Haha. . .We got a girl with a cat tongue and now a girl who literally sleeps like a cat. . ." He got out as he turn toward the snake mistress. "Maybe you should call your team Team Neko Anko-chan." He joked.

"Not in the mood. . ." Anko replied with a cranky and irritated tone.

"Still pissed, huh?" Kurama stated more than asked.

"When we get back to the house. . ." Anko simply ordered. "I will have my lesbian night dammit!" She declared in her mind.

"So what is the plan for today sensei?" Yami asked after she adjusted her blade back on her back.

"We'll go to the river and clean our face and teeth and then head back to Konoha." Anko ordered.

"Good. . .I just want to go back after this annoying day. . ." Kurama completely agree.

"What about food food!?" Nina asked with a shocked tone.

"Arf! Meow! Chirp!" The O trio also agreed as their stomach all growled in unision.

"Get used to it brat, this is how most mission are." Kurama declared with a satisfied look on his face.

In response, Nina and the O trio faces froze in pure terror upon hearing that. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" The four soon cried out in unison.

Anko was beginning to get a migraine at all the yelling. "Enough whining, get yourselves ready, so you can eat later." She ordered.

In response, Nina's ears dropped slightly as her eyes became teary. "Mmm. . ." She got out.

Upon seeing that, Anko let out a sight as she took out something out of her jacket and pull out a scroll as she unsealed the contents and toss it to the wild child. "Here, eat this." She stated.

Nina instantly caught it and saw it was a small plate of dangos as she then looked at the older girl with an adorable confused look.

Anko just shrugged her shoulders. "I was keeping those for the road, but you can have them since your hungry." She simply stated

This caused Nina's mood to lighten up with a smile and her ears wagging happily and with excitement. "Thank you Anko-chi!" She stated with pure childlike excitement.

The O trio were equally happy that they could get to eat something.

Anko just looked away from the girl. "It's not a big deal." She simply replied in a calm tone, but on the inside it was another thing but calm. "Dammit! She had to be so fuckin' cute!" She meanwhile exclaimed in her mind.

Then Nina when toward the other member of the Viper Squad as she showed the plate of dangos to her. "Nene, Yami-oneechi, you wanna share these with me, Okki-chi, Ora-chi and Ori-chi?" She then asked.

Yami only smiled kindly at the girl's offer. "Sure, I'll have one after I clean myself." She replied.

"Mmm~ Ok! Then I'll do the same!" Nina replied as her ears wagged in happiness.

The O trio let out a whine as they were forced to wait for their food.

As they were told, the girl's went to the lake and clean their faces and brushed their teeth, Yami had gave a spare toothbrush to Nina, said girl somehow knew how to brush her teeth with care, well. . .minus the little animals as they don't need too.

Seeing the newest girl brushing, Anko's raised an eyebrow. "Say. . .how exactly are your teeth aren't full of holes from cavities? I mean I can't imagine you brushing your teeth in the forest and for that matter, how do you know how to brush that well?" She asked with a curious tone.

Nina just turned and tilted her head to the side as her mouth was puffy from the paste in her mouth. She then spit the paste and lower her head. "I don't know. . ." She simply replied with hint of sad tone.

The O trio looked worried at their Onee-san and began to rub her legs and head in an attempt to make her feel better.

"Crap. . ." Anko thought as she winced at the sadden tone. "You know what. . .never mind, just finish so that you can eat, your hungry right?" She then stated with a playful tone.

Instantly to hearing that, Nina bounced back and her smile returned at the mention of food with her ears wagging.

After finishing their personal hygiene, Nina and the O trio were happily eating the dangos. As they were doing this Kurama looked at them with a suspicious look.

"Hey wild child," Kurama called out to the girl.

This gained said girls attention. "Hmm?" Nina got out as her cheeks were puffy from the toothpaste.

"Yesterday you had a completely different appearance when we first met." Kurama stated with curiosity. "Your skin and hair was white, you had black stripes, eyes were blue and you even had a freakin' cat tail." He then listed off. "Care to explain all of that?" He then stated.

"Hmm. . ." Nina got out as she chew the food on her mouth before she swallows it. "Oh! You mean when I go shiny shiny?" She asked in response.

"Shiny shiny?" The other three got out in a confused tone.

Nina excitedly nodded as she stood up. "Yeah! I'll show you! Ori-chi!" She stated while calling the red chick.

"CHIRP!" Ori replied in excitement and flew towards Nina as she landed on her head.

"Let's go! Shiny shiny! Bird!" Nina declared and unlike last time where she crouched down, she extended her arms wide and raised her right knee.

"Chirp chirp!" Ori declared as she took the same pose. "Kurīchāmāji! Bird!" She happily declared, but only Nina and the other animals understood it.

Suddenly both Nina and Ori were enveloped in a bright red color chakra and a flash of red making her human companions cover their eyes. Once the light began to die down, the three began to uncover their eyes and began look at the girl, this made them gain shocked and surprised expression at what they were seeing.

"HUH!?" Anko and Yami exclaimed in unison.

"What. . .the crap. . .?" Kurama got out in confusion.

What was in front of them was still Nina wearing her tattered dress, but now she had red feathery like hair with the same bright colorful tips, though she still had her cat ears like hair.

With the exception of her face, she had very small red feathers all over her body, making it look like she had red skin, while her arms had slightly longer feathers that covered her hands.

Her feet had changed slightly into very small talon like legs. Her eyes once again turned blue. And finally, the adorable part was that Nina had her arms spread out while lifting her right leg backwards.

Upon seeing this transformation, the three were confused and shocked by this.

"Nina-chan. . .what. . .is this?" Yami soon questioned in confusion.

At that question, Nina began to jump around and hover a little as she flapped her arms like a bird. "Yay yay! I'm soooooo excited excited!" She said with a carefree tone.

"Is she. . .is she floating?" Anko asked as she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Kurama blinked a couple of times to this. "It's more like hovering. . ." He corrected, though still in disbelief to this sight.

"How's that possible? The human body is to heavy to do something like that." Yami stated with a baffled tone.

"Then it could only mean that she's lighter than a human. . ." Kurama deducted. "This is definitely not a Bijū transformation. . ." He meanwhile thought with narrow eyes at this strange form.

Yami's eyes widen when she thought of something. "Could it be. . .A Kekkei Genkai?" She guessed baffled tone.

"Maybe. . .But I never heard of anything like this type of bloodline abilities. . ." Anko replied with a contemplated tone.

Kurama then looked towards the tiger cub. "So that's it, she basically did the same thing except with Ora. . ." He guessed.

"Hai hai!" Nina replied in a extremely peppy tone while still jumping and hovering. "Me go shiny shiny with friend friend and get get powers!" She declared.

It was at this point that Ora let out a groaning sound. "Meow. . .Meow!" She said in a correcting manner as Okki nodded in agreement.

Nine in turn frowned at hearing that with a pout. "I don't like that name! I like shiny shiny better!" She cutely whined. "That name too hard hard!" She then added with her arms flailing about.

Kurama once more narrowed his eyes to that. "What did she said?" He asked with a curious tone.

"She keeps keeps calling it Ku-Kurī. . .Ch-chā. . .Ma-māji!" Nina whined annoyingly while having difficulty in pronouncing the name.

". . ." The three were left speechless to that.

"Do you mean, Kurīchāmāji?" Yami stated after pronouncing it as best as she could.

"Creature Merge?" Kurama translated with a raised eyebrow.

"Noooooooo! Shiny shiny!" Nina whined even more while flapping her arms some more.

Both Ora and Okki meanwhile let a sigh in unison to that.

Anko then turned towards the sighing animals. "So. . .why do they called it that?" She asked with a curious tone.

"Arf. . ." Okki barked out.

"Meow. . ." Ora replied in agreement.

Nina then made a pouty face at that. "They say it sound sound cooler. . ." She mumbled out.

The three were yet again left baffled to that answer.

Yami in turn blink to the reason. "Well. . .it does sound more appropriate. . ." Was the first thing she could say.

"Well. . .definitely sound cooler than shiny shiny." Kurama declared with a deadpan tone with a sweatdrop running down his head.

"Gotta agree with that." Anko admitted with a nod.

The two small animals meanwhile let out a huff as they puffed their chest in pride.

"Mou~!" Nina cutely whined loudly with pure annoyance while flailing her arms.

"Anyways. . ." Anko said trying to get everyone back into topic. "What exactly can you do in this form and the other ones?" She then asked.

Nina suddenly began to jump around with incredible agility and then give incredibly fast kicks. "I really good good at jumping and kick kick really good good in this form! And I can see see really far far!" She declared as she placed her hands on her hips and puffed her chest with pride.

"And it's obvious that you can hover slightly." Kurama pointed out.

To emphasise this, Nina jumped as high as she could and began to slowly hover down. "Yeah yeah!" She replied happily.

"Alright!" Kurama got out as she grabbed the girl's leg and pull her down. "So what else can you do in these forms?" He then questioned.

"Hmm~" Nina got out as he tilted her head. "Oh! Well when I go shiny shiny with Okki-chi I'm really fast fast, smell smell really good good and almost no one can see me!" She declared.

"Arf!" Okki remarked with great pride while she lifted her head highly.

"Well I guess that was obvious, after all wolves are very fast and their fur can blends in with their surroundings, her having black fur makes it really good for night attacks." Yami stated with her knowledge on wolves.

"Yeah yeah!" Nina replied with excitement. "Okki-chi says the same thing Yami-oneechi!" She added.

"Arf!" Okki once again remarked with pride.

"Meow. . ." Ora simply said as she looked to the side as was less than impressed.

"Alright and what about the sassy cat there." Anko declared with an annoyed tone as she was still angry about last night. Said sassy cat only gave an smirked at her which made her irritated even more. "I swear I'm skinning her. . ." She thought to herself while her eye began to twitch.

"Oh! When I'm shiny shiny with Ora-chi I'm really strong strong!" Nina cheerfully commented as she began to punch the air. "My arms arms can go BAM! BAM! and BOOM! BOOM! and send the bad bad people flying!" She declared.

"Meow~" Ora agreed with a satisfied tone.

"I know. . ." A very annoyed Kurama remarked as he rub his nose.

"And I can see see in the dark dark!" Nina then added.

"Night vision huh. . ." Kurama muttered out and began to think. "So it looks like depending on the form she takes, she has different fighting styles." He then concluded after hearing every single transformations explanation. "Not to mention getting some of their personally too." He then added

Anko let out a whistle to that. "I got to say that this makes Wild Girl a force to be reckoned with." She commented.

Then Nina began to glow red and flashed red as Nina returned to normal while Ori was on her head. However, the girl was panting a bit. "Tired. . .Hungry. . ." She said with a tired tone with her stomach growling loudly.

"Looks like Nina-chan's transformation take a lot of chakra and energy to maintain." Yami analysed as she began to pat the tired girl's back while giving her the last of the dango.

"Figures. . .there's always a catch. . ." Kurama declared with a sarcastic tone.

Anko meanwhile rubbed the back of her head to this. "Anyway, let's go get something to eat and begin to head back to Konoha, we need to start moving." She ordered as she then recalled one thing. "Tsunade-sama's gonna have a field day with this one." She then added with a giggle.

"And what about the brats?" Kurama then questioned. "Remember, all of your squad members are living under the same roof, think they'll accepted not one but four new roommates?" He then reminded.

Anko look at the human Bijū with a deadpan tone as she pointed at Nina and the O trio. "After seeing her colorful personality and equally colorful friends, do you think they wouldn't love them?" She retorted.

Said Bijū turn and looked at said girl and the small animals, making him sweatdrop. ". . .Touché Anko-chan. . .Touché." Was all Kurama had to say.

And with that, the group then headed out to the nearest tea shop to get something to eat before heading back to Konoha.

Deep underground, far from society. . .

The sound of pouring water was heard in a dimly lit room, Kabuto was doing his regular medical check up on his master, but like always, all he could do was numb the pain as there was nothing he could do to help this type of injury.

"Orochimaru-sama, not to question your judgment, but was it really wise to send those three to collect Haruno?" Kabuto questioned in concern as he poured a cup of tea. "Don't you think they will be a bit much for her? The others were fully prepared to collect her." He then reminded.

The Snake Sannin winced from the ungodly pain, before he manage to calmed town thanks to the numbing. "True, but the others aren't ready yet and unfortunately they won't be for a long time, so we must do with what we have." Orochimaru explained.

"Their power had slightly weakened when you sacrificed Sakon and Ukon for not only bring back the First and Second Hokages, but also for the Project as well." Kabuto then reminded.

"True, that's why I made sure that they would, at the very least give Sakura enough time to escape using. . .our little side project." Orochimaru stated with a amused and vile smile.

Kabuto in response nodded as he knew what side project his master was referring to. "Oh, so you plan on using the pills then." He said as he realized what he meant his master meant. "However, their. . .very unstable." He then added.

Orochimaru simply chuckled at that. "It will be at the very least. . .an amusing test don't you think?" He commented with a vile amusing tone.

"That's. . .pretty bad even for you Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto commented with an amused tone as he then realized something. "And, who will you be choosing? It's almost time for that jutsu." He questioned and reminded at the same time.

"Who do think is best suited Kabuto?" Orochimaru counter questioned with a smirk before coughing. "I will soon be making a number of vessels with the U.O.S.W, each of them having a number of abilities, but they will need time until they are truly ready." He then stated.

"While it's true that I was desperate at the time, I wanted to used the girl, however now that the project is advancing very well, I really don't need to use her as a host. Also she is showing great promise as someone to have at our side." Orochimaru explained with honesty. "So just pick one of the specimen that is the strongest among them." He then answered.

"I see, very well." Kabuto replied as he knew how to get a good host. "So what should we do with Haruno after she arrived for the time being? Do you wish to used her as a possible sample candidate for adding to the Project?" He then asked.

Before Orochimaru could reply, the two then felt a presence. "Under my command she is not," An elderly voice declared. The white haired boy turned to find the former Konoha elder at the entrance. "Haruno is not to be placed as a candidate." Danzō then ordered. "She will continue her training here and grow stronger under my men." He soon added.

"Hmm~ I don't see why not." Orochimaru simply replied as he didn't find that to halt the Project in the slightest.

"However, I fear that her mind is possibly broken at this moment." Kabuto then stated with narrow eyes. "The training you have given her will undoubtedly had have great results, but I fear that her insanity might be uncontrollable." He soon added.

"Kuku, even better." Orochimaru responded with amusement. "That will just make it so we have to break her psyche even further, all the way down to the last spec of humanity." He declared.

"I agree, this will help for her emotions to be erased." Danzō agreed with the suggestion. "Emotionless is the key to a true shinobi." He then declared.

"Very well then, I'll be preparing the candidate now." Kabuto simply stated as he left the room.

"Just a few more days then?" Danzō questioned the Snake Sanin.

"Yes, you will have your star student while I'll have a great experiment test subject, we all win." Orochimaru joked.

The elderly man merely narrowed his eyes to that. "Your lucky your project is going well." He remarked before hobbling off.

Orochimaru just chuckled yet again before he winced slightly from the pain in his arms. "Curses. . .I'll need another body soon. . ." He muttered in annoyance. "But regardless, in a few years, they will be complete and they will surpass anything I had ever created." He declared with great pride.

Within Konoha. . .

Tayuya suddenly shivered in fear as she felt something going down her spine. "What the fuck?" She thought in confusion.

Kiba meanwhile looked on at the girl he was with as he noticed the worried expression on her face. "Hey, something wrong?" He asked with concern.

Akamaru meanwhile tilted his head in confusion to the expression on the girl's face.

"Nothing, just felt like someone was talking about me is all." Tayuya explained. "More like shittin' me. . ." She added in her mind.

"Damn, I also hate it when that happens." Kiba chuckled out while rubbing the back of his head. "So. . .how about we get a bite to eat? I'll pay since I just got back from a mission." He then offered.

"Arf!" Akamaru barked out in agreement.

Tayuya's first thought would be decline, however her stomach then growled. "I really haven't eaten in awhile since I got here. . ." She thought as she could feel her stomach growled a bit. "You sure about that?" She then asked.

Kiba chuckled some more to that. "Yeah of course." He replied. "It's already been beaten enough into me that I gotta respect girls." He then added.

To hearing that, Akamaru whined a little at the bad luck that his master had.

"But you still lack of actually talk with brains huh?" Tayuya thought with annoyance. "Alright then." She replied.

"Alright then, you mind sushi?" Kiba then asked. "A new place opened up after what that bastard Danzō did and I haven't had the chance to go there yet." He admitted.

"Sure." Tayuya instantly replied without even thinking about it. "Shit. . .he just had to say what I like the best. . ." She cursed in her mind for letting herself fall for her love for raw fish get the best of her. "Well it's got to be better then what Oto's got. . .even though it isn't much there." She then added to her thoughts.

"Cool, then let's go." Kiba replied with a nod and a smile on his face.

"Arf arf!" Akamaru barked out once more as he followed his master.

The two young shinobis and ninja hound walked through the streets as they watched for the things that were being sold, nothing really had caught their attention, but it was nice to see the things that could be of used later on.

However the Oto kunoichi was more focused on the calm and happy atmosphere that was emanating. "This place is pretty calm." Tayuya got out. "You said something about someone named Danzō so. . .what happened?" She then asked, feigning ignorance to knowing what happened.

To the question, Kiba narrowed his eyes and actually began to growl as he show his canine like fangs. "Not much. . .just a power hungry bastard that had not humanity left inside of his old heart that tried a hostile takeover. He succeeded for a few weeks and it was hell for everyone." He listed off.

"Grr. . ." Akamaru meanwhile growled out in anger at also remembering the suffering from not just the people, but his canine friends during the take over.

Tayuya already knew all of it but she frankly didn't really care, after all, living in hell that was Oto did that to anyone. I mean sure she can relate, but one would care more so about their own suffering then the other. However she didn't want to let the Inuzuka know that, so she let out a fake gasp. "Man, it must had been bad then." She commented with fake worrisome.

"No kidding, that poor excuse for a human tried to make perfect shinobis as he called it by massacring those that don't make the cut and even used acid rain as a motivation. . ." He revealed.

"Yup, that sounds like the bastard alright." Tayuya soon thought in annoyance while rolling her eyes.

Ever since the elderly man had came to Oto, he and his group had dedicated themselves to breaking everyone into creating his emotionless shinobis and what was worst, the Snake Sannin actually liked it, with only pissing her off greatly.

"So you must be glad he's gone from the village?" Tayuya then asked.

Kiba finally calmed down enough at this point. "Yeah, it was thanks that my friends had managed to get the current Hokage that we got the muscle we needed to make the bastard wet himself and make him run like a bitch." He declared with a wide grin on his face.

"Arf arf!" Akamaru barked in agreement while giving a raspy snicker.

To hearing that, Tayuya literally couldn't help but force a hand over her mouth to force herself not to laugh at the declaration. "BWAHAHAHA! So the bastard did actually run like a bitch to Oto! What a fuckin' coward!" She declared in her head. "I guess he was all bark and no bite, huh?" She soon joked in amusement.

Now it was Kiba's turn to laugh, but unlike the girl, he didn't even bother to cover his mouth. "BWAHAHAHAHA! You got that right!" He declared as he let out a roaring laughter.

Tayuya then unintentionally smirked in amusement to that as she then noticed a sign. "Hey kid, we made it to the sushi restaurant." She got out.

Kiba soon stopped his laughing as he then noticed the sign. "Nice, how about we head in?" He then offered as he opened the door for her. "After you." He politely said.

Akamaru soon sighed in slight shame at his master's attempt to be polite.

Tayuya just shook her head. "Like that's not wasn't overused already. . ." She thought with a deadpan tone as she then shrugged. "Alright." She replied as she went into the sushi restaurant with the Inuzuka following.

Then as the two were seated, Akamaru laying down on Kiba's lap, Tayuya smirked as she looked out the window for a moment. They talked about some random things that they could do or find in the village.

Soon enough, the food came and they began to enjoy themselves, though Tayuya would never admit that to anyone as she ate.

Underneath Konoha. . .

BOOM!

CRASH!

BAM!

WHAM!

The sounds of multiple attacks were heard as there were craters in the training area.

Kidōmaru smirked as he looked down to the girl. "Not bad, your starting to get the hang of the first level of the Curse Mark." He complimented.

Sakura was panting a bit, but less than before as she smirked with arrogance at the statement from the six armed man.

"But your still have a long way to go before you can even try going for second level." Kidōmaru soon added with a satisficing tone as seeing the displeasure on the girl's face.

Jirōbō meanwhile nodded in agreement to this. "So far, you have only scratched the surface to what the Curse Mark is capable of." He then stated.

Sakura meanwhile continued panting as she listened to the lecture. "I already know that dammit. . .I don't need the fucking constant reminder. . ." She growled out while her eyes glowed yellowish-green.

". . .Language Haruno. . ." Jirōbō then chided.

This in turn caused Kidōmaru to chuckle. "Looks like your starting to sound like Tayuya." He remarked.

"What!?" Sakura growled out. "I do not sound like that fucking whore!" She declared.

"And. . .you just proved my point." Kidōmaru declared with a smirk.

"Just keep fucking training me until it's time to head for Orochimaru-sama and Danzō-sama." Sakura then ordered. "I need more power dammit!" She soon declared.

Kidōmaru's smirk never faded as he cracked his knuckles on all his hands. "Very well then, I think. . ." He started before going through some hand signs. "Time to up this training up a notch, Summoning Jutsu!" He declared as slammed his hand onto the ground and a plume of smoke surrounded him.

As the smoke covered the room, multiple sets of red eyes began to shiny inside of the smoke.

"Your desire for power will come with a price," Jirōbō meanwhile warned as his Curse Mark began to spread across his body. "Now, if you truly want to control it. . .keep enduring everything we strike you with!" He ordered as a crater formed under him, cracking the floor slightly.

For Sakura however, this didn't make her fear nor hesitate, now she was smiling with a crazed expression as she activated her Curse Mark and took out her tantō as the blade began to make a loud humming sound before she licked the blade, this causing her tongue to bleed, but wasn't phased in the slightest.

Then the deranged girl dashed at the other Curse Mark users as their training continued.

On the way back to Konoha. . .

The members of the Viper Squad and Kurama had just finished their breakfast from a tea shop they had found while on the road and were now heading back to Konoha.

"Ooooooh~" Nina got out as she looked at everything like a child at a candy store while her ears wagged with excitement.

"Arf!" Okki got out while growling at every single noise she heard, thinking it could be a possible threat to her Onee-san.

Anko meanwhile chuckled at the wolf's actions. "Looks like Okki here's the protective one, huh?" She joked out.

Nina turned her head towards the purple haired jonin. "Hmm?" She cuted got out. "Oh! Yeah, Okki-chi is always doing her best to keep me, Ora-chi and Ori-chi safe!" She replied with a big toothy smile.

"Arf!" Okki barked with great pride of that.

"Meow. . ." Ora got out in an annoyed tone

"Chirp chirp!" Ori got out while flying in circles over the entire group.

"ARF ARF!" Okki barked with an annoyed tone.

Nina began to giggled at the interaction while the rest of the group looked on with a confused expression. "Uh. . .care to translate Wild Girl?" Anko asked what the other were thinking.

"Oh! Ora-chi just said that Okki-chi was just a happy trigger that always get us in trouble, Ori-chi just repeated trouble twice and then Okki-chi began shouting that it was not true." Nina quickly translated as she then continued to giggle at the annoyed Okki.

"Arf arf!?" Okki barked back with a huff.

"Okki-chi just said whose side am I on." Nina quickly translated as she began to pet the annoyed wolf cub, which she secretly enjoyed and began wagging her tail.

Anko and Kurama couldn't help but chuckle in amused meant at the comedic show of the tiny animals.

"Is it safe to say this is a normal occurrence between them?" Yami asked with a slightly amused tone.

"Arf arf!" Okki barked as she growled at at the tiger cub. "Cause you always start this crap!" Was what the animals and Nina heard.

"Meow meow~" Ora simply said as she looked to that side. "I'm just simply saying the truth~" Was what she replied.

"ARF!" Okki barked as she went and pounced Ora, but said tiger cub easily dodged and jump onto Nina's shoulders, much to the ever growing anger of the wolf cub.

Nina giggled once more as she felt Ora rubbing her cheek and then turn nodded happily to the question. "Yeah yeah Yami-oneechi!" She replied with her ears wagging even faster.

"Jeez, you four really are close to one another, huh?" Anko then commented with a smile.

Nina rapidly nodded her head to that as she when and grabbed the Okki, Ora and Ori. "Yup yup!" She cheerfully replied as she cuddled the O trio and they began to lick and rub against the girl's cheeks.

Yami just smiled at this as she petted the O trio, much to their delight.

Kurama meanwhile chuckled at the sight. "Jeez, this loli could give the Inuzuka's a run for their money with her abilities." He remarked. "I can already see them trying to get her to marry into the clan." He then joked.

Anko let out a scoff to hearing that. "You kidding? When she masters her abilities she will put the whole clan to shame!" She declared with a smirk on her face. "And I'll rip anyone's ball with a dull and rusty kunai while it was dipped in my deadliest poison if they even try to touch her before she's grown up. . ." She added with a bloodthirsty smile on her face.

Both Kurama and Yami sweatdropped in unison to that declaration because they knew that the woman meant it.

Nina then cutely tilted her head in confusion. "Inu-zuka?" She got out.

This got the older ones to do a double take. "Wait you don't know about that clan?" Anko asked with a surprised tone.

The youngest of Viper Squad could only lower her head as her ears lower also in sadness. "No. . ." She sadly replied.

This got Anko to worried because of her tone.

"Oh! Sorry about that Anko-sensei, because of what had happened last night, I forgot to report this." Yami began, gaining her sensei and Kurama's attention. "It appears that Nina-chan may know the basic knowledge of things and objects, however she doesn't know things such as names of places or people." She declared.

Anko sighed to hearing that as she went to the little girl and gave her a gentle rub on her head, which made her look up. "Basically Nina-chan, the Inuzuka Clan is like you with your friends, except they exclusively have dog partners." She explained with a gentle tone.

At hearing this, Nina big round eyes turn into shiny star like shape. "Oooooooh~" She got out in a wonder as she looked down at her friends. "That means that Okki-chi can have playmates!" She said with a happy tone.

"Arf!" Okki replied with a scoffed. "I don't care about playmates!" She replied with annoyance.

"Meow~" Ora replied with an amused tone. "Oh~ Come on, you may even find a nice mate Okki-nee." She commed with a smirk.

"Chirp Chirp!"Ori meanwhile got out. "Mate! Mate!" She happily repeated.

"ARF! ARF!" Okki barked with anger. "I DON'T CARE ABOUT MATES! NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN NINA-ONEE-CHAN!" She roared in anger.

Nina could only giggle loudly at hearing all of this.

"Translation?" Kurama then questioned with a raised eyebrow.

Nina merely tilted her head to that. "Um~ Just Ora-chi saying something about something called mates for Okki-chi." She revealed. "By the way, what's a mate?" She then added with a cute yet confused tone.

This made the humans, animals and Bijū froze in total awkwardness to the question as they looked at the tiger cub.

"Meow~" Ora innocently got out. "It's just very good friends~" She slyly and happily replied.

"Arf!" Okki quickly replied. "Yeah! That's right!" She agreed.

"Don't know what she said, but yeah what she said!" Anko fastly replied with a blush on her face. The older woman may say and use perverted language without remorse, but even she wouldn't dare corrupting cute innocent little girls.

"Oh! Ok! I want to have a mate too!" Nina innocently replied with her ears wagging again.

Instantly to hearing that, everyone's jaws hit the ground and even Ora was left baffled to that as she regretted saying that. "Meow! Meow! Meow!" The tiger cub quickly replied as she waved her paws frantically. "I-It's a word for just adult close friends!" She quickly corrected herself.

"Chirp! Chirp!" Ori repeated. "Adult! Adult!" She stated with a carefree tone.

"ARF! ARF ARF!" Okki angrily barked out. "DUMBASS! DON'T RUIN NINA-ONEECHAN'S INNOCENCE YOU PERVY CAT!" She roared.

The girl in question just cutely tilted her head as she didn't understood what was happening, but she was just enjoying the fun it was.

"Well. . .This certainly isn't making me miss the brats. . .this little fireball and her little beasts can also make these crazy situations. . ." Kurama remarked with a sweatdrop.

Yami merely nodded dumbly to that as she tried to get rid of the blush on her face before the group continued trekking on back to Konoha.

Back in the Land of Tea. . .

The members of Team Seven were still following the Wasabi runner as he headed away from the strong winds.

At that moment, Naruto sniffed the air as his eyes widen. "I smell salt in the air." He revealed.

"It's the ocean!" Satsuki called out as she pointed ahead.

After a few more meters, the group finally could see the ocean shore where they saw many small canoe boats and some huts. Then the group began to walked down the stone stairs that lead to the lower parts to reach the shore.

"Hey, what is that far out on the ocean?" Satsuki asked as she and the rest of Team Seven looked and the huge land mass across the ocean.

"It's the halfway point Nagi Island where Modoroki Shrine is." Idate stated as he he took a good look at the island. "I can get here within an hour. Wait for a sec." He then told the trio as he headed to the small hut and began to knock the door. "Hey, old man, I'm here! It's Idate from the Wasabi Family!" He called out to the person inside.

Not even a moment passed when the door was open by an elder man. "Ah, I've been waiting for you." The old man happily greeted.

"Looks like I was right. I'll need you to lend me a boat." Idate told the old man.

"I see. I have it ready." The old man replied as he pointed at the shore. "Use that boat." He then told the group.

The trio turned and saw a medium size boat, not to big, but not to small either. "It's the fastest boat around here." The old man declared confidently.

"I'm grateful to you!" Idate replied with a grateful tone.

Satsuki nodded as she looked at the boat. "Thanks a lot Old man!" She said with a wide smile.

Hinata nodded. "Yes, this boat will be of great help on the race." She agreed with the Uchiha.

"No problem. Boss Jirōchō has done so much for me." The old man replied. "So, don't lose to Wagarashi! I'm fed up with how they handle things." He added.

The young man gave a nod. "Leave it to me! I may be down on my luck now, but I'm Idate, the number one henchman of the Wasabi Family! Rest easy and leave it all to me!" Idate declared with confidence.

Naruto then placed his hands behind his head. "Yeah right. . ." He commented with less than impressed tone.

"Well at least this guy has some brains in him." Satsuki then remarked with a smirk.

". . .And unfortunately some overconfidence issues. . ." Hinata admitted via mental link.

On the ocean. . .

Idate and Team Seven where now boarded onto the ship that the old man had lend to him as they crossed the sea as fast as possible. Each of the trios had a job assigned, Satsuki was in charge of the rudder, while Naruto and HInata was to make sure that the ropes were tightened.

They all had been navigating for a few hours when the Uchiha heiress then saw that Idate was on the very edge of the boat as his eyes were completely focused on the front.

"We should start seeing Nagi Island's port soon. I hope we can get there before Fukusuke." Idate thought to himself as he then took out the pocket knife that he was given to him.

As she was controlling the rudder, Satsuki then looked at her two teammates. "Hey guys, what do you think?" She asked in a whisper. "You know, about that overconfident flirt Idate?" She then added as she referred to the runner.

"Huh?" Naruto replied in a low tone. "What do you mean, he's just an average guy right?" He stated in confusion.

Satsuki then frowned to that. "I don't think he's a normal guy." She retorted with a concerned tone as she began to talk at her normal volume now.

"I have to agree as well." Hinata simply stated as she looked towards the young man in question. "No normal person should be able to run extraordinarily fast like he does." She soon added.

"And he was able to get rid of a genjutsu after noticing it, well only one of the double layer genjutsu." Satsuki then pointed out.

"Hmm. . .you think he was a shinobi?" Naruto then guessed.

"There's that possibility or at the very least he was trained in a hidden village." Hinata theorized the possibility.

"Like a guy like that could be a shinobi! And besides that doesn't sound likely with the way he bad mouthed shinobis." Naruto then reminded.

"But look at the three of us Naru-kun," Satsuki then openly started. "We made it to the Chunin Exam finals and became Chunins. I believe that the saying would be don't judge a book by it's cover." She then added.

Naruto and Hinata smiled in response to that. "Yeah, the Chunin Exams we pretty tough." The blond admitted. "But we even kicked ass at the final part of the Exams too!" He added with a large grin.

"However we did pull through in the end, were however interrupted by-." Hinata then stated her piece but was soon interrupted.

"Wait a minute, all three of you made it to the final round of the Chunin Exam!?" Idate asked with a baffled tone.

This got the trio's attention as they looked at the Wasabi Runner. "Yeah, that's right! If we weren't interrupted in the middle of it, we would had been the best of the entire exams!" Naruto declared.

"What's it to you?" Satsuki then asked.

Idate finally regained his composure as he let out a scoff. "Then you must have had a damn easy proctor." He retorted.

"Hmm?" Hinata got out in sight confusion. "Proctor. . ." She thought to herself as that somehow caused the girl to recalled something.

"Really, the level of the Chunin Exam has dropped. . ." Idate continued to add as he suddenly placed his hand on his mouth as he knew he had said to much.

"And how would you know!? It's not like you-" Satsuki started before her eyes widen in realization

"So I was right. . ." Hinata got out with a smile on her face. "Idate-san, so you are related to one of the Proctors aren't you?" She then declared.

Idate didn't said a word as he turned around.

"What are you-?" Satsuki got out before stopping herself to think about it. "Wait a minute, Chunin Exams. . .proctor. . .Morino." She began to list off before her eyes widen. "AAAH! Your related to the scar faced proctor we had for the first part of the exam!" She shouted as she finally remembered that last name

In an instant, Naruto's eyes also widened in realization. "WHAT!? HOLY SHIT! HIM!?" He exclaimed in shock.

"Ibiki Morino-sensei." Hinata reminded.

"What!? I-Ibiki-aneki is alive!?" Idate shouted with a surprised tone.

"Huh?" The trio exclaimed unison to the question.

"Wait he's your brother!?" Satsuki then asked.

"Is that true? He really is alive!?" Idate asked as he was more concern on his questions.

Naruto tilted his head in confusion to that. "No shit he's alive, the guy made us do this weird problem on the 10th question. . ." He complained.

"The 10th question. . .So he really is-" Was all Idate could say.

CLUNK!

Suddenly an arrow flew right passed the young man as it was embedded into the wood.

"Crap! An ambush!" Satsuki declared with a startled tone. "Of all the luck!" She then added.

The group turned around and saw another ship closing in on them.

On the enemies boat wwo rain shinobi were on it as one of them was kneeling down in front of a scroll as he began waving some hand seals and then placed it on the scroll.

POOF!

The third and final member of the rain group appeared. "How is it?" He asked.

"As you can see, it's right in front of us." The one that had done the summoning stated.

"Then, let's get started on our plan!" The leader declared.

The the third Rain shinobi pulled out a crossbow and began to sent a rain shower of arrows a the trio and Idate's boat.

Acting quickly, the group began to used their kunais and tanto to block the oncoming arrows while Naruto was forced to dodge them as he didn't had any shinobi tools nor did he had time to take out his sword either.

Seeing that his initial attacked didn't do as much damage as he had hope, the Rain Shinobi that had the crossbow began to reload it with another hand full of arrows and began to launched them at the group once more.

This barrage was sent towards Satsuki as the girl had no choice but to let go of the rudder to dodge the attack. "Guess we got no choice now, Nata-chan! Me and Naru-kun will chase them away while you get Idate out of here!" She declared.

The Hyuga then looked towards the Uchiha with concern. "Are you sure Satsuki-chan?" She asked.

Satsuki in response shook her head to that and grinned widely. "Nah! We can take this guys." She replied with confidence.

"Heads up!" Naruto shouted his warning as he saw another barrage coming their way.

However this time, the arrows had rope tighten to the ends as they embedded their boat, this making it impossible to escape now.

Satsuki and Hinata instantly reacted as they began to walked to the back of the boat. "Naru-kun you hand the ropes, while me and Nata-chan provide cover!" The female Uchiha declared.

The blond in turn nodded to that. "On it!" He responded as he looked at ropes and began to grab a kunai from his pouch. "Crap! I forgot I lost all of them!" He cursed as he then turned towards the runner and saw what he was holding in his hand. "Hey! Lend me that thing!" He quickly asked.

"What!?" Idate replied with startlement.

"Hurry up! We don't have time!" Naruto quickly reminded with a slight panic.

Idate however just held the knife closed to him. "No way runt! This is more important than my life! There's no way in hell I'll let you use it. . ." He declared while refusing to handle the knife.

"ARE YOU FUCKIN' KIDDING ME!?" Naruto roared with pure annoyance. "We're under attack and your whining about that! Fine!" He then declared as he quickly got the scroll with the Executioner's Blade out.

POOF!

In an instant, the blond summoned his blade and grabbed its handle, quickly sending chakra to his body he picked it up and swinged it.

WOOSH! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!

The sound of the huge blade being sent in an arc strike easily cut the rope like butter. With nothing to hold the boat back, it now shown that the old man was right and the boat easily left the enemies boat behind.

Naruto then seal the blade back into its scroll as he saw this. "Hell yeah! It was a piece of cake!" He declared with a large grin.

"Look out!" Hinata suddenly warned.

The rest of the group turned and saw the three Rain shinobis as they began to appeared from the center of the boat. Satsuki and Naruto got their favorite weapons out and ready while Hinata and Idate took their battle stances.

"Payback time you little brat." One of them declared as he was glaring at the blond.

Said blond only blinked at that in confusion. "Do I know you?" He asked with a equally confused tone.

The leader of the enemies gain a large tick mark at the question. "You dare forget about me!? I was from the Chunin Exams you little brat!" He roared out.

"Hmm~ Nope, don't remember you at all." Naruto simply replied with a honest tone.

"You little-!" The leader roared as he more of Rain shinobi began to appeared all over the boat in the same manner as the first.

"Crap! Clones!" Naruto shouted as he swung his blade to cut through multiple clones, but they simply vanished. "Tch! There just normal clones." He got out with annoyance.

At hearing that, both girls quickly activated their individual Kekkei Genkais and saw that all of the clones were indeed just normal clones.

"Idiots, did they really thought the could fight against us with that out of date jutsu?" Satsuki declared with big grin on her face.

"Satsuki-chan, don't get overconfident now." Hinata reminded via mental link. "Do that after we take care of them." She then added.

"No problem!" Satsuki declared as she looked around and found the ones that had more chakra then the others. "Found you~!" She declared as she charged at one of them.

"Tch!" One of the real Rain shinobi got out as he was forced to dodge the girl's attacks. "Damn Uchiha, wish they all got killed in that massacre. . ." He openly got out in annoyance.

Satsuki's eye widen from what he just said as they then narrowed. "What was that. . ." She questioned in rising anger with her eyes flashing red for a moment.

"Uh oh. . ." Naruto and Hinata got out in unison, knowing full well where this was heading.

The female Uchiha may had not forgiven her clan for what their action were in the past, hell unsure if she could ever forgive them. But even so, no one, and she meant no one, bad mouths her family like that. In an instant, she had reached the one that had bad mouthed her family as she activated her shield.

VRRN!

The sound of it chakra shield activating was heard as Satsuki then smashed it on the enemy's face. "GAH!" He roared in pain as he could feel his nose was broken by the impact.

"Care to repeat that!?" Satsuki roared with rage as she then kneed the guy on his lower regions.

"KYAAAAAAA. . ." The Rain shinobi squealed out in agony as he dropped onto his knees and held his privates while whimpering, now completely unable to move from the attack as he also began to throw up in his mask.

"That's the end of you little kunai." Satsuki then remarked as she cracked her knuckles.

"YOU BITCH!" The other Rain shinobi shouted as he made more hand seal.

Suddenly, many more clones came from the water and when to attack the Uchiha.

He made Satsuki turned and saw that they were also clones as she saw only chakra. "Think that trick will work!?" The furious girl roared as she was too furious to notice something was different about this clones from the regular ones.

Naruto and Hinata were busy fighting the leader as he made the same seals as the other one. This made the Hyuga's eyes widen when she saw the clones being create. "Those are water clone, then that means!" She thought to herself as she turn and saw the clone that were heading towards the enrage Satsuki were also the same. "Naruto-kun, those are water clones!" She told him.

"What!?" Naruto shouted in concern he turned and saw the same thing Hinata saw. "Crap!" He shouted as he headed towards the raven haired girl.

The leader of the Rain shinobis didn't let this happen as he stood in his path. "We're on the ocean, water clones rule." He boasted.

Before Naruto could replied, Hinata had jumped towards the enemy's leader and forced him to move. The two looked at each other and nodded in an non verbal agreement.

Naruto then dashed towards the Uchiha Heiress as fast as he could, just in time when she was about to be attacked by the water clones. He managed to just narrowly pushed her out of the way from a strike, however this made him received some of the clone's attacks. "AGH!" He shouted in pain as he got a few cuts, they were shallow but nothing dangerous.

This instantly calmed Satsuki down as she saw the boy's injuries. "Naru-kun?" She asked in concern.

Said boy only whine a bit as he smiled. "Don't worry, it's just a scratch." Naruto replied as he was already slowly starting to heal.

"Heh, what a dumbass." One of the Rain shinobis insulted in a over confident manner.

That was the last straw on Satsuki's temper. . .as the girl exploded in a feminine fury as some lightning literally began to crackle around her while her hair was standing on ends.

"You. . ." Satsuki began as she turned around with glowing red eyes. "Are. . ." She continued as she stepped forward. "So. . ." She went on as her shield began to conduct some of the lightning. DEAD!" She finally roared as her body was covered in light blue lightning.

"Um. . .Satsuki-chan?" Asked a shocked yet very confused Naruto.

"S-Satsuki-chan?" Hinata got out, confused by this as well.

"Does this chick have a screw loose?" Idate commented with a bit of fear in his tone.

Not even thinking about it, the Rain Shinobi summoned as many water clones as he could. They all came from the ocean and surrounded the lightning enraged girl with kunais in hand.

Satsuki in response quickly raised her shield and activated it.

However unlike before, the shield was even larger than before that covered both herself and the group from all of the attacks while this made some of the clones to forced back and turn back into water, covering the boat in sea water.

"Whoa!" The remaining Team Seven members got out in unison.

"Since when can Satsuki-chan do that with her shield!?" Naruto asked as he looked through the blue see through shield.

"I-I think she just developed it." Hinata deducted in amazement.

The other clones that had survived all took a few steps back and waited for the shield to returned to normal, that didn't have to way long as Satsuki made the shield go back to its normal size and then charged forward.

The girl began to cut, punch and bash her shield into all of the clones, making the boat be filled with even more water.

Seeing this, the leader frowned. "Not good, better change strategies." He thought to himself as he jumped back to the other two, as the one on the boats floor recovered with shaking legs. "Fine your good, but can you find the water clones inside an army of normal ones?" He remarked.

The leader and the other one began to make more clones while one made a lot of normal ones. Soon the group was surrounded by a lot of clones, nowhere as much as Naruto's but still enough to be a problem to deal with.

Satsuki was still in enraged as seeing more of them only made her madder. "That's it!" She declared. "Naru-kun! Grab Nata-chan and Idate and jump as high as you can!" She told the him via mental like as she slammed her fists together, bringing out more of her lightning chakra.

"What do you-?" Naruto replied but his eyes widen in terror as he saw what she was planning. "Oh shit!" He shouted as he quickly placed his blade on his back and when to the other two and hold them as he concentrated his chakra onto his feet and jumped as high as he could.

"Hey! What the hell!?" Idate shouted as he was lifted all of a sudden.

Hinata was also slightly startled at this. "Naruto-kun, what are you-" She got out as she then looked on.

"TALK LATER!" Was all the panicked Naruto had to say as he reached the top of his jump.

"Ha! Looks like they abandoned her." One of the Rain shinbo declared as they thought they had won.

"Looks like it." The leader confidently declared as he saw this. "Then let's finish-" Was all he got out as he began to get a bad feeling about it. "Doesn't matter, she's outnumbered and we have the advantage with all the water we could possibly-" He got as he took a step forward.

SPLASH!

The leader heard as he looked down and saw that all of the boat was covered in water. This made the Rain Shinobi's eyes widen in terror at why the other had jumped so high. "OH NO!" He shouted in panicked horror.

Satsuki meanwhile didn't even let him act as she then released a mighty roar before she then went and slammed the floor under her with her lightning charged fists, sending out electric currents throughout the entire boat. "LIGHTNING STYLE! SPARK FIELD!" She roared with pure anger.

CRACKLE!

The sound of lightning went through the boat as it could be seen from the position that the group had jumped. They saw that the lightning was going at a rapid pace using the water that the water clones left on the entire boat as a conductor, that including those besides Satsuki standing on the boat. The jutsu instantly struck every water clone, making them explode in water and evaporated it and the rest of the water on the boat, while the Rain shinobi were being electrocuted.

The electricity didn't last much more after that as Satsuki stopped the flow of her lightning chakra and began to pant from overusing her chakra. The enemy shinobi were left in a charcoaled state, not dead but they were in a lot of pain as they fell flat on to the boat's floor. She was so tired that she didn't see that her shield was generating a bit of sparks, but then that it looked the same as always.

SPLASH!

The trio fell onto the ocean just in time when Satsuki had stopped her attack.

"Bah!" Naruto got out as he, Hinata and Idate came out of the water. "Awesome work Satsuki-chan! But tell us sooner before you going to electrocute everything in sight!" He then called out.

"A-Amazing. . ." Hinata breath out.

"Che. . .showoff. . ." Idate merely remarked as he was forced to hold onto the blond.

FWOOOSH!

"Eh?" The Team Seven trio got out.

Then all of a sudden, they felt rising heat as flames began to engulfed the boat in fire.

Satsuki meanwhile blushed as she realized what she did, realizing she was the source. "OOOOOOOOh shit. . ." She awkwardly got out.

Without even thinking it twice, she kicked the Rain Shinobi off the boat as she herself jumped out too, landing on the water's surface.

As this was happening, Idate's eyes were completely on the fire.

Flashback no jutsu!

Idate was running in as everything around him was covered in darkness.

As the boy continued to run, he turned around and saw a younger Ibiki tied up in a chair completely unable to move a single muscle. "A-Anaki. . ." He got out.

Suddenly, flames appeared out of nowhere and began to burn him. Even with the flames Ibiki didn't even flinch or looked in pain. "Go! Having you stay will be a burden to me!" He declared his order and reason.

After those words the flames completely engulfed the man.

Kai!

Idate's eyes were still looking at the roaring flames that was engulfing the boat. "A-Anaki. . ." He got out while panicking a little.

Hinata meanwhile saw this and began to worried for the slightly older boy. "Idate-san, are you alright?" She asked with concern.

This instantly made Idate regain his composure. "I-I am fine!" Was all he had to say.

Hinata however knew that something was wrong with the runner, but decided not to say anything about it.

"Hey!" A familiar female called out to them.

The group turned and saw that it was Satsuki swimming towards them.

Before Naruto called back, he heard the pillars on the boat began to fall and blinked. "Well. . .We're out of a boat now. . .Guess we'll just have to swim." He commented with a sweatdrop falling from his face.

Satsuki meanwhile her head in shame. "Sorry. . ." She mumbled out in an embarrassed tone.

Naruto in response chuckled to that as he rubbed the girl's head, causing her to blush. "Ah it's alright, you were angry for us after they insulted us and your clan. It's no problem." He reassured. "I mean you beat the shit out of those punks." He then encouraged as the all four of them began to swim to the shore.

Just a few meters from the burning boat. . .

The three Rain shinobis suddenly came out of the water after regaining consciousness.

"Gah!" The Leader of the three got out as he and his comrades didn't had trouble breathing because of their face masks that had their own oxygen supply. "Damn that bitch!" He roared in anger as he could still feel his body being numb.

"Damn bitch, I can't believe she got us like that." Another of the the Rain shinobis got out.

"Should we retreat?" The last one asked.

"Retreat!? We're getting even more payback now!" The Leader declared. "Drown them!" He then ordered.

At the island shore. . .

Idate was the first to had reached the island thanks to his leg strength. However because of the powerful wave thanks to the weather, it took a lot of him to reach the it. "I-I made it. . .should be okay here. . ." He breathed out as he continued panting but was feeling relief of being out of danger.

However the feeling didn't last as Idate saw a shadow on top of him. He looked up and his eyes widen when he saw who it was.

"Long time no see, Idate." Aoi greeted as he wore his shinobi outfit and his Rain headband on his forehead.

"Y-You're. . ." Idate got out in startlement.

Aoi in response let out an amused chuckle. "I have taught you so many times not to trust anyone." He reminded as he grab the umbrella on his back.

"Ah!" Idate shouted from being hitted.

"Such a fool you are. . ." Aoi insulted with a confident smirk on his face.

Idate was on his knees while holding his injured right shoulder from Aoi's blow. "Aoi. . .Rokusho!" He declared with anger in his face.

The man only span his umbrella as his smirked of amusement never left his face. "I thought you had run away. Wasn't running away your specialty?" He asked with an insulting tone.

This made Idate glare at them man with anger. "Shut up! I'm different from you!" He shouted.

"No, you are the same kind of human as I am. A betrayer who doesn't trust others." Aoi retorted with a hint of honesty. "Betraying your own brother, walking away from the village and capable of thinking only of yourself. The worst kind of man." He then added with a vile tone.

Idate narrowed his eyes, but didn't retort in response to that. There was a brief moment of silence between the two as the sounds of the ocean wave hitting the rock shore echoed.

Aoi then narrowed his eyes towards the runner. "Such a man. . .doesn't deserve to live!" He declared as he threw his umbrella up and pulled out a hand full of senbons. "Die!" He shouted as he threw the senbons.

Idate covered his face with his hands as he waited for the attack.

CLING! CLANG CLUNG

At that moment, another set of senbons collided with Aoi's senbons, stopping them on impact.

"Huh?" Idate got out as he saw this.

"Hmm?" Aoi got out at the sight, but wasn't worry in the slightest, he turned to the side and saw four people. "So you finally decided to come and play, huh?" He remarked with a confident tone.

Idate turned and saw a member of Team Nine appeared. "So you did know we were following us." Kin stated in a calm tone

Idate finally recovered from his initial shocked at this point. "Who are you?" He asked the girl.

Kin then prepared another set of senbons were thrown while looking at the runner. "You better stay back." She then added.

Though still confused by her, Idate nodded in response as struggled to stand and got to a safe enough distance, he couldn't run away as this could leave him vulnerable of Aoi attacking him. So he had no choice but to wait for the first chance he could get.

Aoi in turn left out a confident scoff in response. "Of course, I notice the four of you following me since the start of the race." He answered as he held his umbrella. "Your attempt at hiding was. . . abysmal at best." He then insulted.

At that moment, Kin went on the attack as she threw some more senbons.

Aoi quickly used his umbrella to blocked the senbons. "Really? That's it?" He questioned with bored tone.

However the man quickly had to look back at the battle as the girl sent more senbons. But like last time he simply used his umbrella yet again.

Aoi frowned at the attacks. "Alright, not this is getting insulting." He stated as he was narrow his eyes from the fact that the others didn't move nor did they try to attack. "Hmm. . .do they have a sort of plan?" He thought to himself.

Ching Cling

The sound of bells clinging so reached Aoi's ears. "Huh?" He got out as he turned his head. "Bells. . .interesting. . ." He then remarked with narrow eyes.

Kin smirk at seeing this. "Bad move. . ." She declared as she pulled onto the strings on her hands.

Ching Cling

Suddenly, Aoi felt dizzy as he almost lost his balance and his vision became disorientated. "Genjutsu! Damn!" He thought as he finally realized what they were doing.

As he was thinking, Neji and Lee appeared and charged at his current stated before going on to attack him. The Hyuga went for a palm strike while the green spandex boy went to delivered a powerful punch.

Tenten meanwhile appeared as she went by the other female. "Good, the plan's working so far." She got out.

Thinking quickly Aoi used his umbrella to hit the strings to stop the genjutsu while holding the two boys attacks.

"For the moment." Kin replied as she started throwing more senbons while Tenten launched some of her own using the Phantom Blade.

WOOSH! SHING!

Aoi's eyes widen when he heard the metal being throw, he quickly had to shakely backpedaled to avoid the kunais and senbons. He looked and saw that Tenten and Kin began to kept throwing their throwable weapons.

However this was the last of the man's problems when he saw that the two boys soon charged once more when the girls need to pulled out more kunais and senbons. This gave Aoi little time to react. "Not bad you little brats. . ." He thought with begrudgingly.

Then all of a sudden, Aoi threw his umbrella upwards, this action momentarily caused the boys to stop. Thanks to that action they saw that the umbrella began to spin with velocity.

Neji used his Byakugan and was startled at what he saw. "LEE!" He warned with urgency.

Not even needed to think twice, Lee and Neji jumped backwards as the umbrella began to make a shower of kunais. However this shower of senbons had more than the time he had used on the messengers that it reached the girls as well.

"Scatter!" Neji ordered, once the other had left the area, he took a very familiar position and began to spin in place. "Rotation!" He declared.

When the shower of senbon had hit the spinning dome, they were sent flying away from him.

"A Hyuga. . ." Aoi got out in annoyance with narrow eyes. "Fine then. . .if your going to play hard. . ." He declared while he began taking out what looked like a sword handle without a blade attached with two prong horns attached to the side of it. "Then I'll play hard too. . ." He tauntingly remarked with a smirk.

Then sounds of lighting soon followed as a wave of dread filled the young shinobi's.

Back with Team Seven in the ocean. . .

Team Seven were swimming as they headed toward the shore side.

"Jeez, he just had to swim on ahead. . ." Naruto remarked in a irritated tone.

"I guess this mean we'll just have to train more." Hinata suggested. "I mean. . .I forgot to take off my leg weights again. . ." She admitted.

Naruto and Satsuki turned their head so face that Hinata thought they would had gotten a whiplashed. "Wait. . .what!?" They exclaimed in unison.

"How are you still floating then!?" Satsuki shouted with a shocked tone.

Hinata in turn blushed in embarassment to the questions. ". . .I gained the habit of forgetting to take them off. . .so I got really used to them." She revealed while giggling awkwardly. "Anyways, we should hurry, Idate-san may be in danger." She then reminded with urgency.

"Ah! That's right! Those bastards were after him!" Naruto commented as he recalled what was the enemy's objectives.

Satsuki meanwhile shook her head to that. "Nah! I don't think we need to worry about those guys, they were so well done that I doubt we'll have to deal with them again." She declared with a grin.

Suddenly, Naruto dived below the water.

"Naru-kun?" Satsuki asked with a confused tone to the action.

However the blond didn't replied as bubbles continued to rise.

Having a bad feeling of this, Hinata activated her Byakugan as she looking under the water before gasping. "It's them! They're forcing Naruto-kun underwater to drown him!" She declared.

"WHAT!?" Satsuki roared as the two quickly dived underwater after the blond.

Below the ocean floor. . .

The three Rain shinobi were holding onto a struggling blond, however it was difficult for him to fight back from being underwater limited his movements.

"Shit! Let go of me!" Naruto thought with annoyance as he continued to try and set himself free.

"Naru-kun! We're on our way!" Satsuki declared via mental link.

The blond looked up and saw the girls diving as fast as they could to help him. "Satsuki-chan! Hinata-chan!" He replied with a relief tone.

However the leader of the Rain shinobi's smirked behind his air mask. "Lucky us! We are invincible in the water." He thought with a bragging tone as he and the rest of his comrades continued to sing the blond depper.

"Oi! Give back our Naru-kun!" Satsuki declared in her mind as she and Hinata dived faster.

This made the leader smiled. "They've now fallen right into our trap." He said to himself as he made a hand seal. "Water Clone Jutsu!" He declared.

At that moment, water began to gather and created many water clones.

"Oh come on!" Satsuki got out in annoyance.

Satsuki and Hinata began to fight the clones, but their hits weren't hitting any of them.

"Our attacks will be slightly slower since we're underwater." Hinata advised as she looked at her legs. "Though I think I might be able to handle it with all the weight on my legs, but only by the use of kicks." She then theorized as she did as such.

"Right, then let's just kick their ass!" Satsuki declared.

However, as the multitude of clones then began to surround the two girls, it was beginning to get harder and harder to fight.

"Then how about this!" Satsuki declared as she did a familiar hand esal. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" She declared as she summoned as many clones as she could.

Then the female Uchiha sent her clones to attack the water clones, however it didn't got as plan as the water clones were much faster than the shadow clones.

"What!?" Satsuki shouted in surprised to that.

Hinata dodged an enemy clone and kicked it. "It's because the water clones are made of water, their not slow down because of the ocean." She told her as she cursed that she didn't know how to use water clone herself. "I should asked Haku-sensei if he can teach it to me, that is if we can get out of this situation." She thought to herself.

To that explanation, it was now Satsuki's turn to dodge the incoming enemy clones. "Damn! Then numbers are useless for us!" She cursed at the current situation.

Naruto kept struggling as he watched Satsuki's and the Rain Shinobi's clones kept circling the two girls and each time they did this, a small current was formed.

The blond's eyes widen as he saw this. "That's it!" Naruto thought as he quickly used his elbow to hit the enemy that has holding him while kicking the others. "Satsuki-chan! Hinata-chan! Keep making more clones!" He told the girl via mental link.

"Huh?" The two heiress got out in confused unison.

Naruto dodge the real Rain Shinobi's attacks as he looked at the girls. "Trust me! Just do it and dive the the bottom!" He ordered with a mischievous grin.

The girls didn't even needed to ask again since they knew that once they saw that grin, they knew that the blond had an insane idea. "HAI!" The duo replied.

And in unison, the trio did the same hand seal. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" They all declared.

In an instantly, the ocean was filled with many Naruto, Satsuki and Hinata clones as they all went to fight the water clones.

"You think more clones will help you!?" The Rain Shinobi leader questioned in annoyance. "Our water clones are invincible underwater!" He then added.

While this was happening, the trio began to dive deeper as the blond was telling the girls his plan. Once the trio reached the stony floor, the girls began to mentally giggle at the insane plan.

"You really are the most unpredictable shinobi Naruto-kun." Hinata commented as she placed both of her hands forward while her palms were facing upwards.

"Well that is my title! And you two are coming close as well." Naruto jokingly remarked with a grin as he did the same action.

Satsuki in agreement to that. "Yeah, being unpredictable is a great advantage." She declared with pride as she did the same as her teammates.

The Rain shinobis meanwhile looked at this and was baffled at this action. "What are they doing?" The leader thought to himself.

Then the trio began to channel their chakra into their hands and began to do the first step of the Rasengan as their chakra began to spin above their palms.

Seeing this, all of the clones of the Team Seven knew that they were finally going to do the blond's plan, so nodding in unison the clones made sure that the water clones and the real ones didn't get anywhere near their originals.

Once given enough time, all of the Team Seven clones dispersed.

This caused the Rain Shinobis to be startled for a moment as they looked down and saw the mini balls in their hands. "WHAT!?" The leader got out in surprised.

"Oh yeah, this is definitely fitting for the newest future Uzumaki members!" Satsuki declared with excitement.

Then all of the chakra began to mixed together and formed a huge ring of chakra, this instantly created a whirlpool and kept growing and growing until the water clones and the real ones were caught inside of the spiral.

All of the water clones were instantly dispersed from the pressure of the whirlpool while the real ones were spinning out of control. "N-NO WAY!" The leader got out in bafflement.

Hinata however giggled at this. "Creating a whirlpool using the initial step for the Rasengan. Only you would think of such a thing Naruto-kun." She commented with an amused tone.

"That's our Naru-kun!" Satsuki agreed with an equally amused tone.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The Rain Shinobi shouted as they were spinning out of control.

Once the enemies were out of their reach, the trio stopped channeling their chakra and began to swim upwards. However because of the created whirlpool, it made it difficult to reaching the surface.

"Crap! I think we may have exaggerated a bit!" Naruto commented as he swam against the current.

"We need to hurry or we'll ran out of oxygen." Hinata stated with urgency in her tone.

This made Satsuki's eyes widen as an idea popped into her mind making her smirk mischievously.

The trio continued to swim as fast as they could before they could run out of oxygen, but just as they were about to reached the surface, Satsuki began to struggle and close her eyes and began to go back into the ocean.

Naruto quickly saw this as his eyes widen in fear. "Satsuki-chan!" He called out to her, but did not receive a response.

Not even having to thick twice, the blond dived back underwater and got a hold onto the unconscious girl's body as he placed one of her arm onto his shoulder. Then using all of his strength, he began to peddled up to the surface.

Hinata was the first to come out of the water and quickly saw that the others weren't with here. "Naruto-kun! Satsuki-chan!" She called out with concern as she activated her Byakugan and spotted them, making her let out a sigh of relief.

A few moments later, Naruto had also reached the surface as he let out a gasp for air and then looked at the unconscious girl. "Satsuki-chan! You ok!?" He asked with a panic.

The Uchiha however didn't respond as she appeared like she was unconscious.

"Shit! Hinata-chan I'll head to the shore first!" Naruto declared as he jumped out of the water and used the water walking jutsu to ran towards the shore.

Not wanting to be left behind, Hinata did the same and ran after the two, but Naruto was much faster than her and reached the shore first.

The blond slowly and gently placed the raven haired girl onto the surface. "O-Oi. . .Satsuki-chan. . ." Naruto began with his panic starting to rise. He looked to the side for anything he could possibly do, then an idea came to mind as he looked at her lips. This made him gulped as he blushed at what he had to do.

Hinata finally reached shore and began to get near the two. "Satsuki-chan!" She called out, but she stopped and blushed at what she saw seeing.

Naruto was gently holding the Uchiha's cheeks as he slowly began to reach down and began to apply CPR, all the while blushing red from having to steal a kiss from the unconscious girl. Sure the girl would had probably let him do it anyways, but he still couldn't help be feel embarrassed to do so.

Just as the blond was about to touch the raven haired girl's lips, her hands suddenly flew upwards and grabbed the boy's head. "Nani!?" A very surprised Naruto got out.

Naruto then looked down and saw a very awake Uchiha grinning as she then pulled him down and kissed a very surprised and embarrassed blond with passion. . .with tongue included. "Mmm. . .Gotcha Na-ru-kun~" Satsuki teasingly declared via mental link.

"MMM!?" Was all Naruto could got out as he couldn't even think let alone reply from the girl's tongue wrestling his own, which was a given who was winning. . .

Hinata's eyes meanwhile widen in pure shocked. "N-Naruto-kun!? S-Satsuki-chan!?" She got out as she looked at what the Uchiha.

However the Hyuga nearly had a nosebleed when she saw the Uchiha's tongue and also because her clothing were sticking to her body from being wet, this made her breast gain a more round shape.

After yet another intense make out session, Satsuki finally separated and the two gasped from the need of air. "Been awhile since kiss like that, Naru-kun~" She reminded as she then licked her lips in a sensual manner.

Naruto also blushed to this, but shook it off as he looked at the girl. "Satsuki-chan. . ." He started. "Though I like the kiss, that was not cool." He chided with a bit of angry tone.

Satsuki was slightly startled by that, however before she could respond, Hinata then crouched down next to her. "Hai. . .We were really scared that you would never woke up. . ." She stated with the same tone.

"Urk!" Satsuki instantly winced to hearing that before she looked down and gained a guilty and sad expression. "I'm really sorry, for worrying you, I promise not to scare you like the again." She then apologized for her small prank.

Naruto and Hinata let out weak sigh as they looked at the Uchiha. "It's ok, we forgive you Satsuki-chan." The blond said with forgiven tone as she gave the girl a kind smile.

Hinata nodded as she smiled gently. "Just don't worry us like that, alright?" She asked with a forgiven tone.

The raven haired girl nodded happily as she went and hugged Hinata tightly. "Thanks Nata-chan!" She cheerfully replied as she then held the girl's head and smiled mischievously. "Now to show just how sorry I really am~" She said as she then kissed her with equal passion. . .and again, with tongue included.

Now it was Hinata's turned to widen her eyes in shocked and embarrassment. "MMM!?" She got out as her face began to blushed dark red from both the kiss and being able to get a good feel of the girl's breast on her own before melting into the kiss.

"!?" Naruto covered his nose as he gain a roaring nosebleed at the sight. "Really glad that Ero-kitsune's not here at the moment dattebayo." He barely got out as his nose continued bleeding.

"Mmmmm~" Satsuki got out in a sensual tone as her tongue practically violated the Hyuga's mouth, while said girl meekly tried to fight back. Then Satsuki separated from her kissing and looked at the other girl with a seductive expression. "Man Nata-chan, when you get into it, you really get into is. . ." She added in an equally seductive tone while licking the trail of saliva she had on her mouth.

Hinata took in a deep breath, trying with every fiber of her being not to faint as she looked at the Uchiha. "S-Satsuki-chan, w-we really need to go and f-find Idate-san." She tried to scold the girl, but it didn't leave the desired impact from her having a tomato red face.

Satsuki just giggled amusingly, but she still nodded to the reminder. "Yeah, we have to find him and finish the race." She replied.

"Good. . .I don't think I can lose anymore blood. . ." A woozy Naruto meanwhile commented.

Satsuki soon giggled as she looked at the blond. "Aw come on Naru-kun, you can't tell me you don't enjoy both of your fiancés getting along?" She teasingly asked.

"Not without the risk of dying from blood lost. . ." Naruto quickly replied as he began to ran across the shore in look for the runner.

Satsuki giggled mischievously to that. "I know you love it." She teasingly declared as she followed the blond.

"Well at least you love the two of us." Hinata surprisingly admitted as she too began to ran.

Underneath Konoha. . .

Sakura was now being forced to hold a large boulder on her back and stand completely still while the two Oto Shinobis watched on.

"She is progressing well. . ." Kidōmaru stated with all seriousness before narrowing his eyes. "I said no moving." He reminded to the girl.

"Shut the fuck up you six arm freak. . ." Sakura struggled to say. "And you think is this the worst I've gotten in train? Bastard, this is noth-" She started before. . .

WHOOSH! SPAT!

"MM!? MMM!" Sakura angrily muffled out as her mouth was suddenly covered with webbing and then falling down with the boulder right on top of her.

"Looks like you're forgetting. . .the weak have no right to say anything to the strong." Kidōmaru remarked with a grin. "Just shut up and be a good little weakling." He then added.

Sakura's eye widen as her pupils began to shrink in a crazed manner while glowing yellowish-green as the sounds of muffled screeches were heard. Then she slowly began to stand up and began to forcefully move her sworn shut mouth until blood drops began to come out.

"?" Kidōmaru raised an eyebrow at this action.

"Hmm. . ." Jirōbō got out.

Suddenly, Sakura manage to stand up fully again while her face was looking down and her hair covering her face. The boulder was then lifted higher as she then slowly began to raise her head as the more and more drops of blood began to fall.

"!?" Both male Oto shinobi eyes widen at what they saw.

Sakura's entire jaw was covered in blood as she was smiling while her lips were sliced by the streams were still visible, holding the lips that were originally bonding her mouth. "Say. . ." She began to say as more blood fell while her eyes and curse marks began to glow eerily. "Who is weak you six armed fucker?" She then asked with a crazed and lunatic voice as she then threw the huge boulder at Kidōmaru.

This action was so unexpected that he didn't even had the chance to process what had just happen until the rock hit him and send him crashing at the stone walls. "Gah!" Kidōmaru got out as all of the oxygen had left his lungs and had he not been in his Curse Mark state he would had died from such an impact.

However that wasn't the end of this violent assault as a Curse Mark covered Sakura lunged at the pin down man. "Who's the weak one!?" She asked again as the sound of intense humming soon followed.

Just as the crazed girl was about to reached him, a huge earth pillar appeared in front of her, making her stop. Sakura immediately looked with fury at the pillar and turned around and saw who it was that had stopped her.

"That's enough." Jirōbō ordered with narrow eyes as he then made more hand signs and slam his hands onto the ground. Then a earth dome suddenly capture the girl.

"LET ME OUT YOU FAT PIECE OF SHIT!" Sakura demanded as she began to punch the earth, making not only the dome shake but also the entire underground room.

The shaking continue for a few minutes before it stopped. Once Jirōbō was sure it was safe, he undid the dome and the on the ground was Sakura laid on the ground while panting heavily.

"I will have to take back what I said before." Jirōbō suddenly started as he looked down onto the girl before stepping on her back to hold her down. "Your not like Tayuya. . .your worse than her. . ." He declared with a hint of sympathy.

Sakura could only growled even more to that before she pulled out the string and her lips began to slowly heal, then her face turned back to her emotionless one. "Regardless. . .I do believe I have better progress now." She stated in a calm manner as she ignored the pain of the pressure on her back.

"And more insane as well. . ." Jirōbō added in his mind as he then step off of the girl and then headed towards Kidōmaru and took the off the boulder on the girl, this finally let him breath again. "Her progres. . .it's unusual. . ." He stated to the six armed man.

Kidōmaru coughed a bit as he finally was able to breath more easily. "In more ways than one. . ." He replied before glaring at the girl as she was wiping the blood away. "She's beyond broken. . ." He then remarked.

The emotionless Sakura finally managed to stand, though she was struggling to keep herself stable. Then she turned around as she began to smile cheerfully and innocently. "Power. . .more power please." She requested in a sweet yet vile tone.

At another area in Konoha. . .

After the two shinobi's and ninken had finished eating their sushi, to which, Tayuya had said that it was a gentleman's way to pay the bill, to which said boy had completely fell for it and payed it up, much to his fateful partner's embarrassment.

Then three had decided to just walk through the Village so that the girl could get a good feel of her surroundings and know more or less what each area has, from the shops the sell basic necessities to the shops that sold armor and weapons for shinobis.

"A-AHCHOO!" Tayuya suddenly sneezed. "Damn, someone must be talking about me. . ." She grumbled out with a sniffle. "Bet is that fatass and the bitch of a nutjob. . ." She thought to herself.

"You alright?" Kiba then asked. "Guessing someone else know ya if you sneezed like that." He then added.

"Arf!" Akamaru barked in agreement.

Tayuya then slightly rubbed her nose a little. "Maybe, but they might just be badmouthing me." She replied.

"Now why would someone say bad things about a cool girl like you?" Kiba declared with a smirk on his face.

"Cool?" Tayuya then questioned with a raised eyebrow. "I'm not that cool." She then added.

"Sure you are! I mean no girly girl could eat all that sushi!" Kiba stated while trying to sound smooth.

"Arf. . ." Akamaru whine in embarrassment as he did not find that smooth at all.

To hearing that, Tayuya couldn't help but let out an amused chuckle in response to that. "I have to admit though, that sushi was good." She then remarked with a small smirk.

"Arf!?" Akamaru got out as he was not expecting to hear that.

Tayuya then unintentionally went and placed her head on the Inuzuka's head while looking down at him. "Guess I should say thanks for treating me Dog Boy." She then admitted in a teasing manner.

To the action, the Inuzuka heir couldn't help but pout in embarrassment. "Jeez, everyone's always calling me doy boy. . .I'm a frickin' chunin dammit. . ." He grumbled out.

This caused the older girl to raised an eyebrow to this information. "Chunin? This snot nosed idiot?" Tayuya thought in slight confusion. "Aren't you a bit young to be a chunin?" She asked.

Kiba merely chuckled to that. "Yeah, before the Third retired, he made all the genins that helped out with taking Konoha back from the bastard Danzō into chunins." He revealed.

"Really? That's it?" Tayuya thought with complete disappointment.

Seeing the disappointing expression, Kiba let out a huff. "Hey, it was a surprise for us too, but we definitely deserve it because trust me when I say it was tough dealing with all those mind controlled shinobis and civilians. Especially during the Acid Rain jutsu melting everything." He stated.

Tayuya uncaring nodded to hearing most of the statement, but then one of the words caught hrr attention as she looked at the Inuzuka. "Back it up there. . .mind control?" She soon asked in honest confusion. "The hell!? That fuck really is a fucking nut!" She meanwhile thought as her suspicions of the old man were beyond what she could had thought.

Kiba in turn rubbed his head to that. "Yeah, apparently the guy that made all the civilians go and worship that bastard Danzō like he was Kami-sama because he had someone cast an incredibly powerful and forbidden jutsu to do it all. . ." He explained. "Though we never caught the fucker. . ." He then added with a completely serious glare.

"Grrr. . ." Akamaru growled out in complete agreement.

Outside, Tayuya was completely stoic yet surprised as she listened to the boy like a normal person should, however on the inside, the girl was starting to get a little nervous. "A fuckin' mind controlling and brainwashing jutsu. . .and that fuckin' old man has access it. . .Now I feel even more in danger being in that hell. . ." She began to think with a mental glare.

"Not to mention the bastard's also the reason a decent amount of both civilians and shinobis are still missing. . ." Kiba then stated as he kicked the dirt a little in frustration. "Around fifty people missing because of him. . ." He added in slight depression.

Tayuya's mental glare never left as she heard this. "Fifty. . .those were among the recruits, well those that managed to survive the initiation that is." She thought to herself as she recalled most of them dying from the Curse Mark bite from Orochimaru as then looked at the frustrated boy. "I see. . ." She responded as she then looked around to find a clothing store.

Kiba then began to scratch his head franetically out of annoyance. "Ah! Anyways, let's just drop this depressing topic, let just head somewhere else." He suggested as he looked at the girl. "Your choice where to go next, I can pay for it." He then offered with a small grin.

"Yeah. . .thanks. . ." Tayuya responded with a nod. "Jeez, can't believe I'm gonna do this. . ." She then thought as she came up with a way to change the subject. "Clothes and well I could use-" She decided as she pointed at the nearby store.

"Alright! Then let's go!" Kiba declared as he grabbed the girl's hand and pulled her to the first shop in sight, unaware of what it was.

"O-Oi! Wait! That's-!" Tayuya got out in real embarrassment.

CHINGLING!

The sound of the shop door bell rang as everyone inside went silent.

Kiba soon found this silence to be very heavy and was beginning to sweat as he felt many eyes on him. Because of this, he refused to open his eyes in hopes that it wasn't heading where he thought it was.

However his hopes were for not as the older women would crush them with a simple sentence. "An underwear store Kiba." Tayuya finally revealed with a sigh while rubbing her head.

With his hope destroyed, Kiba open his eyes and saw every single woman in the store looking at him while giving off murderous intent.

"Arf. . ." Akamaru whined once again as he left to wait outside the store as he knew what was going to happen.

"Haha. . .t-this isn't what it looks like. . ." Kiba weakly tried to explain with a chucklr as he tried to back away in a final yet futile attempt to escape.

However it was for not. . .

"PERVERT!" A multitude of women exclaimed in unison as they charged at the boy.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! THIS WOULD NOT HAD HAPPEN TO NARUTO!" Kiba roared as he was being pummeled to an inch of his life.

Tayuya could only watch this with blank expression as she slowly turned around and got outside where she saw the small puppy. "This happens a lot, huh?" She stated more than asked.

"Arf. . ." Akamaru simply answered with a nod.

"Right. . ." Tayuya replied while letting out a sigh. "Why do I get the idiots. . .and did I seriously called him by his name?" She thought to herself.

As the kunoichi and ninken let out a sigh in unison, the sound of Kiba's agonizing screams and the woman's pummeling continued in the background.

Back in the Land of Tea. . .

Night had soon arrived as rain began to fall rapidly, Idate fell to his knees and looked around. Then he saw the unconscious bodies of Team Nine. Then he struggled to look up to see a very satisfied Aoi as he was holding his umbrella with his right hand while holding a sword handle in his other hand.

Aoi smirked at the fallen Team Nine and kin. "They weren't that bad. . .but they were no match against me." He bragged with a prideful tone.

Team Nina had many wounds, bruises and senbons stabbed all over their bodies while they were on the ground.

"It's about time Fukusuke reaches Modoroki Shrine." Aoi remarked as he turned towards the kneeling Idate. "There's no chance for you to win now." He declared with complete confidence.

Idate could only glare at him before his head fall as he used his arms to support his head.

"You can't even run or stand up now." Aoi simply stated with a smirk.

The boy struggled to reached the his knife.

"When that pain spreads throughout your whole body, you'll reach a different finish line." Aoi began to say.

Idate strength continued to weaken as his hand hit the wet ground.

"The finish line of death." Aoi finished with glee.

However, Idate refused to give up as he continued to reach for his precious knife.

"What are you thinking of doing with that dirty knife?" Aoi asked with a smug tone as he went to pick up the knife.

Seeing that, Idate gained some strength to smack his hand away and grab his precious knife. "Don't touch it!" He declared, however his strength quickly left him.

Aoi simply smirked at that as he then kicked Idate in the face which followed by stomping the hand that held the knife. "Looks like you still don't understand your situation." He stated while the boy glared at him. "All you have to do is run away. You have no right to even the slightest bit of integrity." He declared as he kicked the boy, making him lay on his back and then stumble on his chest.

Idate soon could only looked at the rainy clouds as he tighten his hold on his knife. "Boss. . ." He thought to himself as he remembered his meeting with Jirōchō before he was ready to cry. "I'm sorry. . .boss. . .I couldn't keep. . .the promise I made with you." He said with a defeated tone as he closed his eyes.

"Idate!" Suddenly a voice called out.

The boy instantly reopen his eyes as he weakly turned his head and saw Team Seven rushing towards him. The team stopped at a safe enough distance away as they saw the state of not only Idate, but also the unconscious states of Team Nine and kind.

"The hell!?" Naruto thought not believing what he was seeing.

"N-No way. . .everyone. . ." Hinata got out in shock.

"How the hell did he beat Neji's team!?" Satsuki got out as she like the other two knew that Team Nine were a very strong group and to be defeated like this into the state they were was no simple task.

Aoi meanwhile just smirked at the three that arrived. "Years of experience, something all shinobis acquire over time." He stated in the bragging tone.

Hinata looked on at the Rain shinobi while said rouge nin didn't even bother to even tried to do anything as he was confident that he didn't need too. As the girl reached Idate as she began to look for any wounds, her Kekkei Genkai caught the of a strange blade handle like object he was carrying. "That sword handle is emanating pure chakra." She deducted to her teammates via mental link as she then grabbed him and placed him next to her unconscious friends.

Said teammates nodded in response to that as they looked at the man. "Are you the boss of the Rain Shinobi!?" Naruto then asked with anger in his tone as he was angry at both being attack and him attacking his friends.

"Looks like it was too hard a task for them." Aoi stated without so much as a hint of care for his underlings. "Even if they were the same genin as you, seems like Konoha's are better." He then praised while not really meaning it.

Satsuki meanwhile narrowed her eyes to that. "What would you know about Konoha you bastard?" She questioned.

Hinata meanwhile was too busy tending her cousin, her friends and Idate to listen to the others talk. "This looks terrible. . ." She thought with concern.

"Regardless. . .what can genin level shinobi do in a fight against me?" Aoi then remarked.

Naruto and Satsuki had enough of listening to the man's bragging that they got into position. Satsuki had to use her sword and shield out as the rain would made her elemental jutsu's weaker or backfired on them, while Naruto was forced to just fight as he is because he didn't have the luxury of taking his blade out or risk becoming vulnerable for any attacks.

"Fools. . ." Aoi then remarked as he prepared himself while pointing his open umbrella towards them. "I'll teach you brats to respect and fear me!" He declared.

"Let's go!" The two declared as they charged at the rouge. Satsuki to head as Naruto was behind her while concentrating his chakra.

Aoi waited for them to come to them while looking down on the two.

As they finally reached him, Satsuki delivered a vertical slash at his chest. The rouge simply took a back step to dodge and used his umbrella to hit the girl's face.

Thinking fast, Satsuki used her shield to block and turned around the umbrella, this action allowed Aoi to see that Naruto had wind chakra in his right hand.

Aoi's eyes soon widen a bit at seeing that as Satsuki got into position of stabbing range. "And just so you know. . ." She began to say.

Naruto then raised his chakra hand upwards. "We're chunins you arrogant asshole! Beast Wave Palm!" He concluded.

Naruto then went in to delivered Aoi a horizontal slash while Satsuki went to stab him with lunge.

As the two were about to deliver the final blow, Aoi simply smirked without a shred of fear or concern as the water around him had stop. "And that makes any difference for a jonin?" He remarked as he raised his hand throwing his umbrella up.

Suddenly, both Naruto and Satsuki were sent forcibly crashing down onto the rocky ground as they were unable to move.

"What!?" The two thought with confusion and shock.

"Naruto-kun! Satsuki-chan!" Hinata exclaimed out of concern as she stood up and began making some hand seals.

Aoi saw that and smirk. "Like I'd let you!" He declared as he raised his hands a bit higher.

In that instantly, it was Hinata's turn to fall and be unable to move. She quickly saw through her eyes that the water around her had chakra. "The water. . .his using has chakra. . .to make it fall with immense pressure. . ." She struggled to say as she quickly analysed what was happening.

Then Aoi took out the strange handle out with his free hand before suddenly, a glowing yellow blade appeared. "Game over. . ." He then remarked as he plunged the blade into the ground as it caused lightning to surge and go through the wet rocky floor.

"AAAAAAAAAAH!" Team Seven and Idate shouted from the electrical current.

This only went on for an instant but the pain was excruciating.

Aoi then took a few steps back as he caught his umbrella and let out a scoff. "First off, I used the Water Style jutsu known as Brine, it intensifies the rain and then using my beloved sword to shock enemies from a safe distance away." He explained. "I used the same move on the others and like you, they easily fall to my might." He then added.

Team Seven meanwhile struggled to stand as they didn't fall unconscious, thanks to Kurama's chakra slowly helping them, it stopped them from joining their friends in the land of unconsciousness.

Aoi then looked at the still conscious trio. "Genin or Chunin, it makes no difference against me." He declared as he held his sword handle while retracting the blade. "And as long as I'm holding the blade of the Second Hokage, I am invincible." He then added to his declaration with a confident smirk.

Naruto struggled in pain from the electricity as he looked at the shinobi as he heard that. "Urk. . .the Second Hokage's. . .blade?" He got out while enduring the pain.

Upon hearing the boy, Aoi looked at him. "Oh, still alive are we? Well I guess your tougher than I thought." He commented with a mild impressed tone. "But no need to waste my chakra anymore." He declared as he placed his umbrella and blade away, then he took out a few senbons on each hand.

Without waiting, Aoi threw the senbon at the weaken Team Seven members as they impaled their skin.

"Urk!" The three all got out as they went and immediately took the senbons out.

"Those are poisoned senbons specially made from Amagakure, more deadly than the ones in Konoha. They will send you to hell in a few minutes, no matter how strong you are." Aoi explained as he began to walk away. "May your deaths be quick." He over confidently declared with a smirk.

Naruto, despite the pain from both the electrical attack and the poison, he began to stand. "Don't you look down on us! Bastard. . .!" He struggled to say, however he soon fell to his knees thanks to the poison.

Suddenly, they all heard a loud cheering in the distance.

Aoi turned towards the direction of the cheering and instantly knew why. "Looks like Fukusuke has reached Modoroki Shrine." He stated. "Die gasping, it's a death that fits you brats well." He then added before he soon vanished.

All the trio could do meanwhile as watch him escape.

At the Modoroki Shrine. . .

As Aoi had stated, Fukusuke had indeed reached first to the shrine as many people were cheering loudly as he reached the last steps. However there were much as many booing as their were cheering from those that didn't like this.

"Is Wagarashi winning this one too?" One of the spectators asked with sadness.

"Isn't there a kami or Buddha in this world?" Another spectator asked with annoyance at the thought of the winning again.

"I miss the old times when Jirōchō was in charge." Yet another spectator commented as the runner grabbed one of the two orbs inside the shrine.

However, instead of continuing the race, Fukusuke when to the house next to the shrine and sat down. "Ah jeez, I'm drenched." He complained about him being completely soaked with water.

"You are amazing Fukusuke." One of the members of the Wagarashi Clan complimented.

"Keep on running to the goal and make our Boss Kyūroku Wagarashi happy." The other stated as he when to grab the runners shoulder.

Fukusuke quickly smack the hand away. "Watch it, you scum. Who do you think you are talking to?" He asked with an arrogant tone.

"What?" The second asked with an annoyed expression.

"My victory is already assured. Let me relax for a while." Fukusuke stated as he took off his sandals and walked inside of the house.

"Bastard, think you're so hot!?" The second member retorted as he wanted to punch the arrogant runner.

"Cut it out!" The first declared as he hold him down. "What if something goes wrong during the race? Who knows what our boss will do to us." He then tried to reason with his fellow member.

The second finally calmed down when he heard that. "All right." He replied grudgingly.

However the first member was just as angry as the second. "Just wait and see." He thought to himself as he was waiting for the race to end so that he could deal with him.

Back with the Konoha Shinobis and Idate. . .

The group was still in their unconscious states as they were left there believing that the poison would kill them.

"Ugh. . ." Naruto got out as he struggled a little while opening his eyes.

"Damn. . ." Satsuki muttered as she could feel the poisons affecting her.

"Mmm. . ." Hinata also got out while her eyes opened.

After a few more seconds, the trio finally sat up right, but they could feel the poison in their systems.

"Damn. . .cocky. . .bastard. . ." Naruto then got out.

"He. . .won't. . .get away. . .with this. . ." Hinata and Satsuki soon stated in unison.

Just as they were about to stand, they quickly fall again.

"Dammit. . .this poison is really strong. . ." Satsuki struggled to say and the two had to agree with her.

However suddenly, the three members of Team Seven suddenly started to dimly glow a dark red with a low humming noise.

"Huh? Kurama?" Naruto asked when he saw this, but didn't get a response.

HInata meanwhile looked at her own hand as the dark red glow still covered her body. "Hmm. . .I guess thanks to a Bijū's chakra, it can nullify and destroy certain poisons. . ." She deducted as she felt her strength returning with a sigh of relief. "Good thing he didn't know about our Jinchūriki statuses, that would have been bad." She then added.

"Hell yeah." Satsuki agreed with a nod.

"Wait a minute!" Naruto got out as he turned towards Idate and his friends. "What do we do about them!? They've been poison too! And they don't have Kurama's chakra to heal them!" He commented with a panic.

The two girls instantly realized this too and we're now in a panic as well. "Oh crap!" Satsuki exclaimed.

Hinata quickly when through her pouch to see if she had anything and frown at seeing that she only had basic healing cream herbs. "None of them can cure poison, especially nothing of this level as well." She begrudgingly admitted to herself, wishing that she had learn more medical knowledge.

"Uuuugh. . ." A female voice groaned out.

This gain the trio's attention and looked around to find the source of the voice. "Who said that?" Naruto asked while continued looking around.

"I. . .got something. . ." The voice then got out.

The trio finally located the voice and saw that it was a barely concealed Tenten that had said that. "Tenten-chan!" They got out as they went towards her.

"You ok?" Satsuki asked in concern as she helped the older girl sat right.

"Y-Yeah. . .I was the furthest from the shock blast. . .so I got it off easy. . ." Tenten weakly got out as her hand weakly went to her pouch and began looking for something, after a few moments the older girl took out a small green bottle that had Konoha symbol. "Q-Quick. . .give this to the others. . ." She weakly got out.

"What are those?" Naruto asked with curious tone.

"I-It's a powerful antidote pills. . .Tsunade-sama gave us these. . .before we left. . ." Tenten answered as she open it and swallowed one, the effect was almost instant, aside from the electrical damage, the girl felt a bit better.

Not needing to be told twice, the trio grabbed a pill and made the others and Idate swallowed it. "I think they'll recover consciousness soon." Hinata commented with relief.

"Still, we should take all of them out of the rain." Satsuki then suggested.

The others nodded in agreement as Naruto maden a shadow clone for each person and they all went to find a warm shelter to rest in.

Back in Konoha. . .

After dealing with the beating of one Kiba Inuzuka, Tayuya explained to the other woman that she requested some underwear and that he offered to pay for her.

At the moment, the two shinobis were looking through the store while the ninken decided to say outside to avoid getting cuddled by other women because of his adorableness.

Soon enough, the older girl was inside of the changing room to try on a new underwear she and him found, while Kiba was outside at the very least three feet away from the changing rooms. After all, the women were keeping a very close eye on him if he tried anything perverted and said boy was easily convinced to do the unspoken order.

Kiba meanwhile was rubbing his cheek from of the hits as a female clerk came out of the room next to Tayuya's while holding a lot clothing in her hands as she then went to the next. "Jeez, thanks for earlier, getting the crap beaten out of you can be annoying. . ." He got out as he looked at the girls giving him evil eyes. "Oh come on! She already said it was an honest mistake and they're still watching me like a hawk!" He then added in his mind.

"Must be because your a local pervert." Tayuya thought while rolling her eyes as she got the sexy black bra on. "Nice feel. . ." She unintentionally added to her thoughts as she looked at the lace black bra. "The way you say it, it makes me believe that it happens regularly." She commented with an amused tone, trying to make light of the subject.

". . ." Kiba didn't said a word as his silence said it all.

". . .Oh you have got to be kidding me. . ." Tayuya thought with immense annoyance being with a perverted brat. "Alright Kiba, what happened?" She soon deadpanned her question.

Kiba groaned slightly to that in annoyance. "Accidents and misunderstandings. . ." He answered.

"Right. . .that the excuses of all perverts. . ." Tayuya mentally retorted as she didn't buy that for a second. "I see. . ." Was all she had to say.

"Which is so not fair! When Naruto does it, he gets away with having two girlfriends that are also his fiancés. . ." Kiba then whine with slight jealousy. "And don't get me started with him making the Sexy Jutsu! A jutsu that literally uses the transformation jutsu to turn into a naked sexy woman! AND IT TURNED THE TWO GIRLS BIASEXUALS!" He then added.

". . ." Tayuya dropped the bra hanger at hearing that since she couldn't say anything to that as she thought of the scenario herself. "He's. . .actually not wrong. . ." She admitted to herself, much to her surprise. "Ok, I do admit that it sounds. . .wrong. . ." She honestly began to say. "On so many fuckin' levels." She added in her mind as she would rip the ball of the brat if he ever try it on her. "But it also sounds like your really jealous of this Naruto kid, huh?" She then remarked.

"Do you blame me!?" Kiba wailed in frustration before sighing. "I know it sounds like I'm begging with trying to get a girl. . .but it just feels so unfair. . .I also want an awesome girlfriend. . ." He then admitted in depression with his head looking at the ground.

Tayuya then looked at the depressed boy through the sheet that covered her, feeling slightly sorry for him but more like pity really. "Well. . .keep your chin up, who knows? Maybe you'll find the right girl." She commented. "Good luck though. . mainly because I wouldn't bet on a girl being desperate enough to be with a bitch in heat twenty four-seven like you. . ." She add then in her mind.

Kiba in turn gave off a small humorless chuckle to that. "Thanks. . ." He barely got out, showing that he was still depressed. "Your actually pretty awesome yourself, though I know you wouldn't want to date some brat like me." He then admitted.

"You have no idea how right you are. . .even if you did treat me to some good fuckin' sushi for all of my life, I still wouldn't date a fuckin' perverted brat. . ." Tayuya declared in her mind, though was slightly surprised that the boy actually knew the entire time that she wouldn't really date him. "So. . .why me then?" She then honestly asked in confusion. "And don't say it's because I look hot or sexy, I'm not actually any of that." She then added while looking at him through the opening she made.

Kiba began to rub his head as he was feeling slightly embarrassed. "Well. . .while I do think your very hot and sexy, but it not just that. . ." He started, causing the girl to raise an eyebrow as he looked at her.

"Didn't see that coming. . ." Tayuya mentally thought as she held back a scoff.

"It's just feels nice you know?" Kiba then said.

"Huh?" Tayuya got out in confusion.

"Well it's just having someone to talk to you know? It felt nice, I mean sure I have Shino that would listen, but he isn't the most sociable guy. And Fū-chan, well she's more attached to Shino which is good for the guy." He commented with a chuckle.

"Get on with it. . ." Tayuya mental complained.

"But having someone as cool as you just listening me it really feel nice and not put me down every chance they get." Kiba honestly commented. "Not to mention I've already been beaten up enough times to learn to respect women. . ." He then added with a chuckle.

To hearing all of that, Tayuya became honestly impressed by the way the boy was being honest and wasn't lying. "Guess the brat isn't as bad as I thought." She thought to herself with a small smirk on her face. "Hehe, if you were a couple years older, maybe I would date ya for your honesty. . ." She then teasingly admitted before pulling her head back into the dressing room to get the black panties on. "Though I really can't date anyone because of my fuckin' loyalty Orochimaru-sama thanks to the Curse Mark. . ." She then added to thoughts.

"Wait what!? SERIOUSLY!?" A very excited Kiba asked with glee in his tone at the chance of getting a hot girlfriend.

At the very last room of the changing rooms, the female clerk came out after picking up all of the underwear that were left in the rooms, she had so much that it blocked the way she was going. "Mmm. . .why can they put them back once their done wearing them. . ." She mentally complained at the customers that always leave the underwear in the rooms. She then began to sway back and forth from the unbalanced amount of laundry that she was hold. "W-Whoa!" She got out.

Thinking as fast she could, she tried to grab anything she could to prevent herself from falling. At the very last instant she manage to grab something, but it wasn't enough to stop her fall.

RIIIIIIIIP!

The sound of the plastic cover door ripping echoed throughout the store.

At that moment, Kiba was now facing at the direction where this was happening and it so just happened that the door that was rip was Tayuya's. . .

". . ." Kiba was still smiling from what the girl had said before, however that smile soon turn into shock as his jaw dropped to the ground.

"Ow. . ." The female clerk got out in slight pain while rubbing her head. "Huh?" She got out as she saw that her hand was holding something. And closer examination the object that she was holding was the cover that was used on the dressing rooms. "Oh. . ." She then got out in realizations and she slowly looked up.

As the clerk had suspected. . .it was the cover for Tayuya's dressing room. . .

". . ." Tayuya was left speechless at this as she just manage to put on her bra and panties just in time, however it still gave the boy a good view of her exposed assists.

". . ." All of the woman's eyes in the shop had their eyes covered by the shadows of their hair, making impossible to see their reactions.

After getting over the internal reaction, Kiba when paler than even Orochimaru as he knew what was coming next. "Aaaaah fuck. . ." He got out as he was turned around, not ready to accept his fate.

His attempt to escape was for not however as in his way were all the woman of the shop as their faces were dark from the shadows while their eyes were glowing white.

Kiba slowly began to move backwards while he was ready to piss himself. "Wait. . .wait. . .you just saw that I had nothing to do with that. . .I was three feet away from there. . ." He tried to reason with all the women.

However the boy had forgotten one important aspect of pissed off woman. . .they don't listen to reason. . .

Suddenly a hand stretched out and grabbed the boy's shirt collar, making him pale in fear. He soon slowly turned around and saw it was a demonic version of Tayuya in just her bra and panties that was starving for blood. . .

Well that did it. . .Kiba face turned hollowed and lifeless. "Just get it over with. . ." He then pleaded in a defeated tone.

Outside, Akamaru was waiting patiently at the two as he was starting to yawn from boredom when. . .

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The screams of a little girl echoed making the puppy jumped in startlement.

"Arf!?" Akamaru got out in confusion as he quickly got inside and was ready to fight.

But what the puppy saw was not what he originally thought.

"I KNEW HE WAS A PERVERT!"

"HE JUST TRICKED THE GIRL SO HE COULD SEE HER NAKED!"

"HE'S SO DEAD!"

Tayuya meanwhile was on top of the Inuzuka heir to prevent him from escaping while she was only in her bra and panties as said boy was blue at the face from being shaken like a ragdoll. "YOU MOTHERFUCKER! YOU FUCKIN' PEEPER! HOW DARE YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT YOU LITTLE BASTARD! AND HERE I GAINED A LITTLE RESPECT FOR YOU WITH THAT SPEECH!" She roared as she and the rest of the woman then proceeded to beating the Inuzuka heir.

"Wait everyone! It's not his fault!" The clerk tried to calmed the raging dark pink haired girl and the other customers, but it was for not as they continued to beat the poor boy to an inch of his life.

". . ." Akamaru just watch this with a blank expression as he simply turned around and left his partner to his fate.

On route towards Konoha. . .

The Viper Squad and Kurama had decided to stop for the night after a long travel, after all the distance from the borders of one shinobi nations to the other were very far away, even at a shinobi's speeds.

The group were organizing everything they need to camp for the night as the Bijū then stood up after setting the tents. "Me and Yami will go check the area to see if it's safe, you two create the fire." Kurama stated.

Anko turned to her boyfriend and nodded. "Sure, go ahead." She replied as she turn towards Yami. "Keep your guard up, don't want any accident happen if a Iwa shinobi wants to tried their luck on us." She ordered with a serious tone. After all, the snake mistress knew that Kurama was in no real danger in this form, but the female swordswoman was.

The kunoichi samurai nodded in response to that. "Of course." She replied as she and the human shape Bijū began heading into the forest.

"Arf! Arf!" Okki barked out in excitement. "Let me go too Nina-oneesan! I want to see this place!" She declared as she wanted to go exploring the new area.

"Hmm. . .I don't know, we don't know about this territory." Nina commented with a concern tone, worry for her little friend's safety.

"Meow. . ." Ora lazily replied with a yawn. "She'll be fine. . .she will be company right?" She stated as she then got comfortably to sleep next to the area were Nina will soon sleep in.

"Chirp. . .Chirp. . ." Ori sleepily commented. "Be fine. . .be fine. . ." She repeated as she also sleep near Ora.

"Hmm~ Okay!" Nina then cutely replied with her ears wagging happily.

"Arf!" Okki barked as she was jumping in joy and then went after Kurama and Yami.

"HEY KNOCK IT OFF WILL YOU!" Kurama shouted at the overly excited wolf cub as she ran in circles around him.

"Arf! Arf!" Okki excitedly replied as she didn't stopped at all.

Nina giggled as she heard what was happening. "Okki-chi is having a lot of fun." She began.

"That little runt is going to drive him crazy." Anko thought in amusement as she then turn toward the youngest member of her team. "Well lets start making the fire alright?" She told the young.

"Hai!" Nina happily replied with a nod.

As such, the two went off to get some wood from the surround area, Nina surprising Anko as she quickly and easily climbed some nearby dead trees and got some more dry wood. "Not bad, though it probably because she's been living in the wild for kami know long. Yet she's still very much have her civilized image intact." She thought to herself.

"I'll make the pit!" Nina soon declared as she soon started to dig like a dog.

"And. . .there goes the civilized image. . ." Anko quickly added while sweat dropping.

Once Nina had finished digging, her head popped off the ground and looked cheerfully at Anko with her ears wagging. "Okki-chi always told me that you should always make a pit deep enough so a fire won't spread!" She revealed.

"Good advice. . .bad method. . ." Anko stated with a deadpan tone as she placed the wood on the new pit.

Then Nina head towards the sleeping bird. "Ori-chi! Come on! Fire Fire!" She called out.

"Chirp. . ." Ori got out in a sleep tone. "Hai Nina-oneechan." Was her response.

Anko raised an eyebrow at the sight of the bird slowly hopping towards the pit. Her eyebrow raised even further still when the bird began to cough.

"Cough! Cough!" Ori began to lightly coughing.

Chik chik!

Anko then shook her head when she thought she saw a few sparks. "Huh?" She got out as she thought she was seeing things. "What's the bird doing?" She then asked the young girl.

However instead of answering, Nina smiled widely in childlike excitement as well as giggling.

Ori cough even more and Anko eyes widen when she saw many sparks hitting the firewood then. . .

FWOOSH!

All the combine sparkes and wood quickly ignited a fire. The sight of this happening left Anko with her mouth wide open. "Did that bird just make a fire!?" She asked with a stupefied tone as she saw the little chick began hopping back to Ora so that she could continue sleeping.

Nina's giggling in amusement never stopped to that. "Yup! Ori-chi can make small sparks and she always makes the fire for us to us!" She stated while praising her friend.

Anko in turn slapped her forehead upon hearing that. "Ok. . .so first you can somehow merge with them. . .and now your telling me this little runts can make elemental jutsus?" She asked with an annoyed tone.

"Nah, just Ori-chi." Nina innocently answered with a smile. "It really surprised Okki-chi and Ora-chi when she began coughing like that, she almost started a forest fire and burn some of Ora-chi's fur too." She then added while still smiling.

". . ." Anko was left speechless at that.

"CHIRP CHIRP!" Ori angrily tweeted out. "MOH! I SAID THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT NINA-ONEECHAN!" Was what she declared.

"Meow. . ." Ora meanwhile meowed out annoyingly. "Tell that to my beautiful fur. . .took me weeks to grow it back and even more to get it silky smooth again. . ." She said with an annoyed tone.

As the tiger cub and bird chick continued arguing, Nina sat down in front of the first as she stared at it intently. "Warm~" She got out while enjoying the warmth.

Anko meanwhile decided to sit down beside her as they waited for the others to return. "You really are an interesting little runt." She remarked with a teasing smirk.

Nina looked at the older woman and cutely tilted her head in confusion. "Huh?" She got out.

Anko in turn giggled to the reaction as she rubbed the girl's head. "You got all these abilities, you've been out here with just a wolf cub, tiger cub and a literal fire breathing chick, and your a little ball of energy that is always excited about anything." She stated in an honest yet amused tone.

The little girl in question simply giggled as she enjoyed the head rub.

But Anko's face then became blank when she remembered another quirk of the girl's. "Though you do have a thing for breasts." She then added. "Care to tell why?" She then asked with a grin.

To hearing that question, Nina's expression slightly downtrodden as her ears sank a little. "Mmm. . ." She got out in a hesitant tone.

"I hope she's not one to swing the other way. . ." Anko thought with a little hesitation, she didn't had anything against lesbians but she just didn't want to deal with a perverted girl trying to hit on every girl she could.

"It feels. . ." Nina began to say as she then whispered the rest.

"Huh? What was that?" Anko asked as she didn't made anything from the last part the girl said.

"Warm and safe. . ." Nina soon revealed.

Anko was taken aback to that. "Warm and safe?" She repeated trying to be sure she understood it.

Nina simply nodded while looking both timid and sad. "Yeah. . .It's just whenever I see big boobies, I want to feel then because I get to feel warm and safe. . ." She timidly replied in an all too cutesy manner.

"Goddamn she's adorable!" Anko mentally exclaimed at the sight, however she quickly calmed down as she processed what the little girl had said. "Looks like she's just like a little kid remembering being hug by her mother. . ." She then interpreted what she was probably feeling. "Well at least she's not a perv. . ." She then added with much relief.

Nina then looked at the special jonin as she didn't say anything for a few moments, this caused her to become worried that she was mad at her for touching her breasts. "Are you mad at me for doing grope grope before on your boobies?" She then innocently asked.

"Urk!" Anko winced as she saw the innocence from the young girl before calming herself down. "No. . .I'm not really mad. . .it was just unexpected it is all. . ." She tried to say, now feeling conflicted in saying that it was just annoying if anything else.

Nina smiled happily at knowing that the older woman wasn't mad at her. "Then can I grope grope you again?" She soon asked in the same innocent tone with her ears wagging again to show her excitement.

Anko's eye twitch once as she had to resist to face fault to the question. "Uuuuh. . ." She got out out, unsure of how to answer that. "Sure. . .And I also know some other big breasted girls you might like." She finally replied in a joking tone.

Nina smiled wide largely at that, but she then had a yawn escaped her mouth and began to tilt her head side by side.

Seeing the sleepiness on the girls tired eyes, Anko giggled in amusement as she tapped her lap

Nina dazily smiled tiredly at that as she then slightly leaned down and rested her head on the lap. The girl then began to curl like a little kitten and Anko could had sworn that she heard her purr a little.

Anko looked at the now sleeping cat like girl while smiling gently. "Nina Dōbutsu. . .an unique girl with equally unique abilities and powers. . ." She began to think as she began to rub the girl's hair.

The older kunoichi then touch the ears as she was once again be reminded that it was just hair, but how they twitched then really didn't helped.

Anko couldn't help to let out an amused giggle, but then frowned at that thought of this little girl living so long without a single human contact that didn't involve her stealing. "You must've been so lonely if it wasn't for you little friends, huh?" She asked in a low tone so that she wouldn't wake her up.

"Meow. . .chirp. . ." The sounds of two familiar animals replied.

The snake mistress turned and saw a half asleep tiger cub and the chick coming towards them. Once they reached them, Ora curled up next to Nina while Ori hopped onto the girl's head.

Anko simply giggled at how close the little ones were attached to the girl. "Yup. . . all of you will definitely fit in Konoha." She admitted with a smile.

"We're back." A voice called out.

"Arf. . ." A sleepy bark got out.

"Where did all that energy go? Annoying little. . ." The last one complained.

To hearing that, Anko turn and saw it was Kurama, Yami and Okki. "Hey, so anything out there?" She asked while trying not to wake up Nina.

Yami in response shook her head to that. "Not really, we had made sure that the area was clear of any possible threats." She replied.

"Which it was." Kurama remarked.

"Arf. . ." The sleepy Okki got out as she strolled towards Nina and like Ora, curled next to her. Anko just smiled at this as she then began to pet Nina and the other little animals too.

Kurama meanwhile smirked at the sight. "So, you had a little bonding session with the fireball?" He teasingly remarked.

Anko unintentionally let out a kind smile to that and gently rubbed her head once more. "I guess. . ." She simply replied as her eyes never left the sleeping girl's face.

Later on in Konoha, further into the night. . .

". . ." Tayuya was boring holes at the beaten up and depressed Inuzuka after the two rejoined Akamaru and left the underwear store. She herself had bought the bra and panties with Kiba still paying for them while she had them in a bag while carrying them to her side.

Tayuya eventually then had to take a deep breath to regain some notion of composure. "Dammit. . .I can't believe I fuckin' lost my cool like that. . .I mean I never even did that when that four eyed fucker Kabuto did something like that. . .what the hell!?" She thought in a irritated tone.

Kiba meanwhile winced as he rubbed sore cheek. "Dammit. . ." He painfully got out. "Even when I didn't do anything, I still get the crap beaten out of me. . ." He grumbled.

"Arf." Akamaru simply replied. "And that's new how?" Was what the boy heard.

Said Inuzuka could only let out a groan of annoyance.

Unaware of what the puppy had said, Tayuya just glared at the younger boy. "You did get an eyeful of my body." She soon reminded with a held back anger in her tone. "Seriously though, how the fuckin' hell did that happen anyways!?" She then thought to herself in confusion.

"But that was a complete accident and not even my fault!" Kiba counter reminded.

"Arf arf?" Akamaru barked out. "Probably was, but what did you expect with you being near women partners?" Was his question as his partner wanted to strangle him.

Tayuya continued to look at the boy as she sighed. "Yeah. . .it was an accident." She admitted, mostly to keep her cover intact, though she wanted to give another punch to the boy's. "And I did react badly. . ." She then added in a forced honest tone.

Kiba raised his head at that. "Really? You mean that?" He asked with hopeful tone.

"Arf!?" Akamaru got out. "Seriously!?" He asked with confusion.

The girl then forced a smile on her face. "Sure. . .I mean it. . ." She forcefully got out. "LIKE FUCKIN' HELL I DO!" She roared in her mind.

Kiba let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that. "Still though. . .sorry for staring. . .I mean it. . ." He then apologized once more.

Tayuya's eye was beginning to twitch to that. "No. . .problem. . ." She got out. "THEN STOP MAKING ME FUCKIN' REMEMBER IT!" She added in her mind as every time she was forced to remember, the girl wanted to pummeled the boy again.

"Arf." Akamaru barked. "Yup. . .she's mad." He advised.

Kiba however didn't need to be told that as he had noticed that and sighed once more, then he looked at the ground, getting the feeling of what the girl was actually thinking. "You still want to get a hit in huh?" He then guessed with a deadpan tone.

"Oh yeah." Tayuya answered without any hesitation. "HELL FUCKIN' YEAH!" She roared in her mind as every fiber of her being wanting it.

Kiba then rubbed the back of his head as he knew that he was right. "One punch with all your anger placed in it." He simply stated.

To hearing that, Tayuya stopped for a moment as she looked at the boy in confusion. "Huh?" She got out. "The fuck?" She thought in equal confusion.

"Arf?" Akamaru got out in equal confusion. "What?" Was his reply as he did not expect that from his partner.

Kiba then placed his hands in his pockets as he looked at the girl with a serious expression. "Jeez, I'm offering to let you punch me for what happened." He then stated.

". . ." To hearing this offer, Tayuya remained quiet as she began to think about it while clenching a fist. "Oh it's so tempting to hit the perverted brat. . ." She thought to herself as she was very willing to accept the offer. However the look of seriousness on the boy's face made her think that he was being honest. ". . .alright." She replied.

The girl didn't even let the boy replied as she cocked back her fist and hit the him in the cheek.

Wham!

At watching this, Akamaru winced from the punch before he then whined at the sight.

Kiba was sent back slightly by the impact, but it didn't hurt as much as he thought it should. "Huh? That. . .wasn't as painful as I thought it would." He commented as he rubbed his cheek.

Tayuya just crossed her arms and looked away. "Don't think too much about it Kiba, that was enough for me." She started in a serious tone. "I mean after all, it's not in most boys to have the maturity to actually admit that something like that and let someone hit them. . ." She then added with a neutral tone. ". . .He's got balls, if nothing else. . ." She unintentionally thought to herself.

". . ." The puppy meanwhile was left speechless as he did not expect that.

Kiba meanwhile was also left speechless to that since the boy was so used to being branded as the pervert that hearing something like that left him baffled. He then began to chuckle awkwardly to that as he looked at the dark pink haired girl. "Hehe, well I was told to grow up, so I have to at least learn to be the bigger person in a situation like this." He admitted as he blushed a bit.

Tayuya in response to that looked at the Inuzuka with a slightly impressed expression. "Well. . .it's a start. . ." She commented as she looked at the night sky. "It's getting late and I gotta get back now." She then added. "I already spent too much time, gotta get back before those two dicks and the bitch think something happened. . ." She added in her mind.

This made Kiba gain a sad expression on his face, but he shook it off and grinded cheerfully. "Is that so, well I had to say this was the most fun I had in a long time!" He stated.

"Even though you got beaten up a couple of time?" Tayuya then remarked. "That makes you sound like a masochist for pain Kiba." She then added in a joking tone. "It actually wasn't that bad. . ." She meanwhile thought.

"Arf!" Akamaru instantly replied as he began panting and wagging his tail. "Sure is!" His partner heard.

"HEY!" Kiba shouted at both the girl and the puppy.

Even though Tayuya didn't understand the puppy, she smirked as she somehow understood what he probably barked out. "Well anyways, I guess I'll see ya around if I have time." She commented as she then walk way.

"Sure." Kiba replied with a nod while rubbing his face again from the punch in a gentle manner.

"Not bad partner!" Akamaru barked out in a proud tone. "I thought for sure that she would had leaved you the moment she punched you." He then teased.

Instantly, the boy got out of his stumper as he turned to his partner and glare at him. "Oh come on Akamaru!" Kiba replied in annoyance and began to chase the laughing puppy

As Tayuya was walking away however, she instantly frowned while remembering her personal situation. "Not even if you killed the pedo. . .I already have enough of being under the thumb of anyone. . ." She added in her mind with an annoyed tone and depressed expression on her face, though she wouldn't admit that she had a better time than she thought she would as she walked in the opposite direction of the boy and his puppy while holding her bag.

Underneath Konoha. . .

Sakura was laying on the ground unconscious as her entire body was covered in bruises and her blood. She was slowly healing, but unlike normal, it was in a much slower speed while Kidōmaru and Jirōbō were looking at the unconscious girl.

Thud!

All of a sudden, Tayuya landed behind the two as she looked at the green and pink haired girl while hold a bag in her hands.

"You've been gone for a while. . .Did anything happen?" Kidōmaru remarked as he narrowed his eyes.

Tayuya merely glared at the six armed man. "Fuck off, I'm not in the mood for your shit." She retorted. "And like I said, I kept myself hidden, no one saw me as a spy." She then added.

Jirōbō then looked at the dark pink haired girl. "Tayuya, language." He chided.

In response to hearing that, Tayuya sent a glare towards the larger man. "Shut the fuck up! I said I'm not in the mood." She retorted as she passed them. "I'm heading to bed. . ." She then added with immense annoyance.

Kidōmaru in turn merely rolled his eyes to that. "So much for subtlety." He got out before smirking. "I know. . ." He decided in amusement as he leaned down to the green and pink haired girl's ear. "Weakling. . ." He whispered.

To hearing that, Sakura's eyes snapped open as she struggled to stand, however her injuries didn't let her muster any strength. "Not. . .weak. . ." She struggled out. "I. . .controlled Konoha. . .for Danzō-sama. . .for at least a few weeks. . ." She panted in satisfaction to her achievement. "I'm. . .not. . .WEAK!" She once more declared with fury before finally passing out with a thud.

Tayuya was about to reach one of the rooms when she heard that, causing her to stop on the spot and her eyes to widen. "No fuckin' way. . ." She thought as she turned and watched as Jirōbō placed Sakura on his shoulder.

"Alright little weakling, I think that's enough for today. . ." Kidōmaru stated as the largest member of the room took Sakura to a room.

The older girl however instantly realized what Kiba said and knew it was her that did the mind control. "So she's the bitch who did that for this entire fuckin' village. . ." She thought to herself.

"Damn brat," Kidōmaru started. "She may be strong, but she's also insane." He stated. "That Danzō might have the right idea to make some people broken and emotionless." He then admitted while crossing his arms over his chest.

"More like dealing with her like a mad dog. . ." Tayuya commented to herself as she entered the spare room. "Whatever, I'm going to fuckin' bed, don't wake me." She stated her remark.

SLAM

And then the door was slammed shut.

The two Oto Shinobis meanwhile looked on at the sight as they then looked atthe one another. "Oh yeah, something definitely happened while she was topside." Kidōmaru remarked with a smirk.

"Do you think it will be a problem?" Jirōbō questioned with narrow eyes as he hefted the unconscious girl on his shoulder.

Kidōmaru instantly caught what he was really asking. "It's fine. Tayuya knows already that she can't escape no matter how hard she would want to." He reminded.

Jirōbō simply nodded after he had calmed down and went to placed Sakura in her room.

After Tayuya slammed the door of the room she decided to use shut, she placed the bag to her side. "What a fuckin' day. . ." She mumbled out as she sat on the side if the bed.

However before she went to sleep, the girl looked at the stuff she had bought on the date. "The things he offered to pay for me. . ." She unintentionally got out in a whisper.

Once she sorted out all of things, she looked at her new underwear. She couldn't helped but recalled the hectic day she had as she let out a long and tired sigh as she stripped herself down, took the bandages off around her chest and got the bra and panties on.

"Not bad. . ." Tayuya soon got out with a small smirk on her face as she looked at herself wearing the underwear for a few moments before she headed to bed and finally fell asleep.

What the girl didn't realize at the time was that she had the best sleep she had in years.

JG (JGResidentEvil)'s A/N: What's everyone JGResidentEvil here with the newest chapter of Uchiha Heiress Remix!

F2P (fight2protect)'s A/N: Yo! Hope you all had a great summer! Too bad it was so short. . . :(

JG: Don't remind me, classes start for me again on Monday. -_-"

F2P: Them the breaks. . .ANY WHO! Back to the new chapter!

JG: A lot happened this time and man we got a lot of things to talk about! One of things being about Aoi, the antagonist of this arc as we both know there are gonna be complaints about what he did.

F2P: So we like to explain that now and explain our reasons. We DID clarified in the last arc that we do focus on the terrain. So remember this aspects, it was raining, a huge plus for a water user which used that heavy rain thing, he also had the Second's sword, which is a double plus IN a raining area since it was basically a blade of lightning chakra and finally, the trio didn't know a thing about Aoi's skill or weapons. THAT is deadly for any shinobi.

JG: Hell, Satsuki basically did her own variation of it on the boat before she accidently set it on fire. ^^"

But honestly like F2P said, the trio of Team Seven didn't know the abilities of Aoi since he was the target of Team Nine aka Team Gai in case you didn't place the two together. XD

F2P: And they also didn't know about his abilities too, had they known and if it wasn't raining, Aoi would had SO gotten his ass handed to him, they did nearly killed him in that first clash, but the rain really did a number on them. Now for the reviews. . .wow, not to many this time. . .

JG: Jeez I keep getting favorites and watchers, but none of them at least leave a review! XD

But anyway, we're just gonna choose one random review and response to it. Here's mine from Leaf Ranger!

Poor Tayuya. stuck with Kiba at the moment. Hopefully he'll either endear himself to her or end up leading her to someone who will. guess we'll see. XD

And the race is on. Awesome. Can't wait to see how things go.

but seriously, Aoi is a pushover. Literally his only real power comes from the sword. Other then that, he has senbon in his umbrella and that's it. He's literally got nothing at all beyond that, so if you pitted a skilled fighter against Aoi he'd collapse like a house of cards.

And the OC was funny and adorable. Loved the parts with her and Team Viper. And oh my, FemKyuubi was hot. Very nicely done on that part. XD

Oh yeah, we had a field day with writing each section of the last chapter with everything that happened and this one is no different! The FemKyūbi bit, that was all me with the idea at the time since you know Anko being bia and all. ^^"

F2P: Yup! Tayuya has nearly force to put a muzzle on her own mouth to stop herself from swearing a storm! XD Kiba is just one the most unluckiest guy ever! XD

JG: Though there was some obvious reasons for specific parts for Tayuya, especially with her situation involving Orochimaru and Danzō. We also already explain the Aoi part in full detail.

F2P: And for the Nina's bit, glad you like her! She's one of our favorite of Viper Squad! Now don't get us wrong we love all of them, I just slightly lean to the little manifestation of insanity.

JG: That and Nina is F2P's creation! XD

F2P: You know what I mean, it's just Nina is like the heart of the team and it's hilarious the insane situations she and the O trio gets the group in. XD And speaking of the physical manifestation of insanity, we did have a lot of explanation about her skills.

JG:Yup! Now the group knows a bit more of the little fireball and her abilities, so give it up to F2P for coming up with all of them!

F2P: Truth be told, I had always had a dream character but I never got it down right, so I base her abilities base on him, so in a sense, Nina IS my dream character. Though she wasn't a little girl that would drive people insane. XD

Now for my review from gamelover41592!

Okay this was epic and awesome your the first person to do this filler arc that I know of and the side stories are awesome :D

Glad you guys are liking the fillers and side stories as we plan on making them fully part of this fic and like we said, each arc WILL have major part to the story somehow. :D

JG: Got that right, but it's soon gonna get closer and closer to the next major event. . .and it's really gonna be depressing at how it all start. . .

F2P: Yup. . .lets just say. . .all fun and games are soon going to end. . .badly. . . *looks away* But that's a subject for another chapter, for now here are the next Remaster chapter:

Chapter 21: Remember Humanity and Finishing the Preliminaries

And

Chapter 22: The Growth of Hinata Hyuga

JG: Man these were also a doozy to do with all the changes that had been made.

F2P: Hell yeah! We made a lot of changes and had so much fun with them! XD But we will explain them in their respective chapters.

JG: So you'll all have to wait until then and that will be when you see the change from the previous titles to the current ones mentioned here in a day or two.

F2P: Look forward to them!

JG: Whew, this summer was hectic when it came to writing, now it's gonna be back to classes soon for everyone.

F2P: But that will not stop us from continue writing this awesome fic! *raising fist, Rock Lee Style*

JG: HELL YEAH! Also, I kept on forgetting to mention it in the Author's note, but I actually made a forum for anyone to come to related to Uchiha Heiress Remix! You can find it on my page here on and feel free to come and chat!

F2P: But please. . .be constructive and only give us ideas that may help us improve the fic.

JG: No BS like saying, You should have Satsuki's personality be like Sasuke, or stuff like that. Comments that discourage or insult will be removed, harsh as it maybe, but we've been constantly getting this one guest reviewer that is obviously a fan of Naruto and Sakura being together and anti-Hinata as he or she calls her *Ahem* Hinatitties. Seriously, why do you keep reviewing if you can figure I'm gonna delete it?

F2P: But as Saitama from One Punch Man would say. . . "Wow, these people need a hobby." So like this great man would do, we'll just ignore those guys that don't have a life of their own.

JG: So until next time, see ya! *Waves to the readers*

F2P: Peace out!
