Chapter 52: Dark Awakenings

---

Back at Konoha. . .

Some time had passed since the Capture Squad was deployed to complete their current mission. Tsunade was still at the hospital as she looked at a clipboard in one of the rooms after having her discussion with the certain purple haired jonin. And now she was examining the former young Oto kunoichi that had successfully defected.

"Well then Kin, it seems that you are getting closer to a full recovery from my uncle's sword, but I want you to take it easy for now for a few more days. . ." Tsunade advised in a serious tone.

Kin in response to that nodded in agreement. "Hai, I feel much better now Tsunade-sama." She replied with relieved tone. "I can't fall behind everyone." She soon added.

Tsunade in response to that smirked. "Well with being around someone like Gai as practically your sensei, I wouldn't be too worried." She however joked out in amusement.

Kin in turn giggled to that as she looked at Konoha's leader. "Well Gai-sensei isn't that bad, and quite frankly, I would rather go with his harsh training than work for that pedo Orochimaru again." She admitted.

In response to that, Tsunade sighed to that as she went over and placed a hand on the girl's shoulder in sympathy. "Well you no longer have to deal with him and his sick experiments anymore." She then reassured.

The young girl soon smiled kindly at the older woman, herself feeling relieved knowing that was true. But before Kin could say anything. . .

"TSUNADE-SAMAAAAA!" An overly active voice cried out from the corridors of the hospital.

The young girl let out an awkward smiled while said woman gain a large tick mark as the two instantly recognized the owner of the booming voice.

Then someone stormed in through the door as it was forced open. "I came as soon as I heard Lee's dear friend was injured!" Gai declared with a concern tone, though the two didn't had much interaction other than when the girl trained with his team, he still cared for the girl because of her relation with his favorite student.

Tsunade in response to this had another eye twitch as she looked at the man. "Calm down Gai, you are in a hospital!" She demanded with an annoyed yet loud tone.

Gai instantly tensed as he saw what he did wrong. "My apologies Tsunade-sama!" He declared with a more reasonable tone.

Knowing that this was the best the female Hokage's going to get, she took in a deep breath to calm herself down. "And Kin is just fine, just a case of lightning going through her body, thanks to the treatment she will make a full recovery very soon." Tsunade explained as she looked a the girl in question.

Gai in response let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that. "That is youthful news! I'm glad to hear that this will not tamper your flames of youth!" He declared while giving his signature thumbs up and large smile.

Kin in turn sweatdropped to that as she looked at the man. "T-Thank you Gai-sensei." She awkwardly replied.

Gai then looked around as he then noticed something. "If I may Tsunade-sama, but where are my students exactly? I thought they would be visiting Kin-san." He soon stated in a concerned tone.

Kin then looked towards the Hokage. "I was wondering about that too. . .and why does it feel. . .tense here?" She then asked.

Tsunade's eyes were then covered by shadows as she looked away from the two while staring out the window. "It's. . .complicated. . ." She got out in a hesitant tone.

The young kunoichi on the other hand frowned and lowered her face. "Lee-kun said that he was prepared for a very dangerous mission." Kin stated with a concern and worried expression on her face.

"Oh! Is that so?" Gai then replied as he then looked at his leader. "Tsunade-sama, what kind of mission are my students on this time?" He then asked.

". . .A capture mission alongside Team Seven and. . .the remaining active members of Team Ten. . ." Tsunade hesitantly revealed.

". . ." Gai didn't had to replied as he understood the hidden meaning of the last part. "I see. . ." He simply replied. He may act like an eccentric man, but he wasn't an elite jonin for nothing.

Kin however tilted her head to that in confusion. "Huh?" She got out.

". . ." Tsunade didn't reply as she closed his eyes for a few moments before she reopen them. "I'll explain it to you later, after their mission has been resolved." She simply replied as she thought it was for the best.

Seeing his leader's current state, Gai understood that it was a delicate matter so he decided to change the subject. "Do not worried young Kin-san! Lee and the rest of the team will be just fine! Their flames of youth will give them the strength to overcome this challenge and return with their flames shining brighter than ever!" He loudly declared with a complete confidence in his tone.

Tsunade smiled kindly at the man, she was thankful for his attempt of changing the subject.

". . .Ok. . ." Kin replied, though she was still worried. "I can't believe I'm bedridden like this. . ." She meanwhile thought.

Gai then gave a thumbs up and flashed his teeth. "And of course I have complete faith in my star student and the rest of the team to return together and with their flames of youth burning brighter than ever before!" He declared with a proud tone.

Kin in response to that smiled as she looked at the man. "Yeah, Lee-kun is pretty strong." She admitted as she then balled her hands into fists in frustration. "Gai-sensei?" She soon asked in a serious tone.

The jonin sensei in response saw that expression the young girl was making and became worried. "Yes? What is it Kin-san?" Gai asked in concern.

". . ." Kin said nothing for a moment as she looked at the man with a determined expression. "I. . .I to become stronger. . .strong as you and Lee-kun." She declared as she then slightly bowed her upper body.

". . ." Tsunade in response to hearing this didn't had to say anything as she understood that the young girl was feeling frustrated about not being able to match those of her age group that were very strong.

Though Gai also realized this, he didn't want to let the girl to keep feeling such depressing thoughts. "Do not fear! You will reach great height as high as Lee!" He replied with his over eagered tone.

Kin however didn't shook her head in a negative matter to this. "No that's not enough. . ." She admitted as she then raised her head and looked at the male jonin. "Please, I wish to be your disciple as well alongside Lee-kun!" She then requested.

"!?" Both Gai and Tsunade eye's widen in shocked at the request, as whatever they were expecting, this was certainly not it.

". . .Oh Kami. . .she's serious. . ." Tsunade soon thought in disbelief as the fear of another loud mouth shouting youth all the time, while the male was still shocked by this request.

Realizing what she just said, Kin's face blushed red. "Well. . .Don't mean like being exactly like Lee-kun or Gai-sensei, I mean that I would like him to teach me to be the best me I can for my taijutsu, I also want to study under Kurenai-sensei to better my Genjutsu." She then clarified with a slight embarrassed tone.

This instantly calmed down both adults for various yet different reasons between the two adults.

Gai soon gave his signature smiled and thumbs up. "Why of course Kin-san! I'd be more than happy to help out a youthful student reach their peak of their youth!" He declared, and if it was even possible, even louder and energetic tone than before.

Kin in response merely giggled to that. "Yes sir Gai-sensei." She replied with a salute.

Tsunade however crossed her arms over her chest. "Though, do be sure to begin slowly. . .she isn't as well suited for. . .your usual training style that you and Lee do." She all but ordered the elite jonin.

Said jonin simply gave yet another thumbs up as he knew what his leader meant by that. "Oh course Tsunade-sama, Kin-san will first begin with how Lee started back when he first became my student and move up from there." Gai replied. "I'll also have to talk to Kurenai about discussing her genjutsu training." He then added in a serious tone.

Tsunade nodded in approval at this. "That will be better for her, I don't want her to be at the hospital because of some sort of extreme workout that is not suited for her." She declared as she then turned towards the girl. "Is that alright for you?" She then asked.

Kin in turn nodded to this. "Of course." She replied with a smile. "Lee-kun should be happy that he has a fellow disciple under your wing after he gets back from his mission." She soon added.

The jonin sensei smiled happily at the reply before he realized something. "By the way Kin-san, how did you know about the mission? Did you tell her Tsunade-sama?" He questioned.

It was then Tsunade also realized this as well. "Actually no, I didn't tell her." She stated as she looked at the girl. "How did you know about the mission? I was sure that this was highly classified." She soon asked with slightly narrow eyes.

The Hokage wasn't mad or anything towards the girl knowing of the mission as she just wanted to know who was the blabber mouth. Though she had a pretty good idea who it was.

"I just know it had to be one of my headaches. . ." Tsunade thought to herself as the image of her godson and a ravenette girl appeared on her mind.

"Oh! Lee-kun did come to inform me about going on the mission." Kin replied before she looked slightly embarrassed.

In response to hearing that, Tsunade blinked in surprise. "Well that was a change." She thought with a slight pleasant tone to that it wasn't her usual headaches.

Kin then gave off a small blush as she looked at the Hokage. "He was in such a hurry that I wanted to give him something, so I gave him some chocolate candies for good luck." She added as she felt slightly embarrassed at saying that.

Suddenly, Gai shivered at that somehow. "Why does that sound familiar?" He thought to himself with a slight disturbed tone. ". . .Did you say. . .chocolates?" He soon asked.

Kin in response to hearing the questioned tilted her head in a innocent manner. "Huh? Yeah, you remember the ones I got a while back?" She then asked.

At the instant, Gai's face slowly began to be filled with terror as he recalled that day.

Flashback no Jutsu!

It was a few day before the Land of Tea mission had occurred, the members of Team Nine had just returned from a mission.

"YOSHA!" Lee excitedly cheered. "ANOTHER MISSION HAS BEEN COMPLETED!" He declared with both arms over his head.

"Relax Lee, it was just a simple escort mission." Tenten stated with a slight annoyed tone.

Neji meanwhile sighed at his overexcited teammate while Kin just giggled at the boy.

Gai then flashed his teeth and gave his signature thumbs up. "Alright team! After completing this mission, I'd think I'll reward you with a prize!" She declared.

"Seriously Gai-sensei? It was just an escort mission." Tenten asked as she didn't thought it was worthy of a reward.

The former Oto kunoichi meanwhile giggled to this. "Ah come on Tenten, he's just being nice." Kin however defended.

This in response caused the blacksmith's daughter to sigh. "Ok then, I'll like more kunais and shurikens since I'm a little short on cash. . ." Tenten requested in an embarrassed tone.

The reason for this was the girl nearly used all of her saving on the development of her knew weapons she was making, as her dad was only helping with the development and and construction of all the projects they made together. But it was her money that came all the metal and components for her creations. So to put it bluntly, she was really short on cash.

"No problem!" Gai declared with wide smile as he knew the girl's situation from her father and wanted to help his student anyway he could.

"No need for me sensei, though I appreciate the offer." Neji simply replied with a formal tone. "In fact, I must return to the Hyuga compound at once." He then added with a bow.

Gai in response nodded. "Of course Neji, until tomorrow!" He enthusiastically responded.

The male Hyuga raised his head as he merely nodded to that before he heading off.

"I would like some heavier weight and a new uniform Gai-sensei!" Lee loudly declared as he raised his fist up.

At the moment, the remaining members had reached the market district as the sound of vendors began to display their products.

Kin meanwhile blushed to that. "S-Same here for the weights Gai-sensei. . .but not the uniform. . . .I'll wear the one you go me during training. Though. . ." She mumbled out as she then noticed a sweets shop nearby and smiled. "Would it be okay to ask for some chocolates?" She then asked.

"Why of course! Just be sure not to eat to much! Eating to many sweats isn't good for you!" Gai lectured as he pointed on the shop. "But please! Go and pick whichever you like!" He then cheerfully declared.

"Thank you Gai-sensei." Kin gratefully replied as she entered the store.

The rest of the Team Nine decided to entered as well, to accompany the girl if nothing else.

"Huh, never thought you had a sweet tooth." Tenten commented with an amused tone as she then entered the shop herself.

Inside the shop, the blacksmith's daughter soon noticed the former Oto kunoichi browsing and looking through all the assorted sweets that were on display.

"Hmm. . .which would he like. . .?" Kin muttered with wonder.

"Bet it'll be something that Lee-kun would like, right Kin?" Tenten soon teased with a grin.

"Eeep!" Kin yelped out as she soon noticed the girl looking towards her, but decided not to say anything and continued to look for something with a large blush on her face.

Tenten on the other hand simply giggled with amusement at the poor attempt at hiding her embarrassment.

"Hmm?" Kin then got out when she saw a certain box. "I think I'll pick this one." She decided while she pointed the object to the clerk.

"Sure, right away-" The clerk got out as she turned around and saw both the box and the girl who ordered it. She looked a bit bothered, but then when she saw the headband, she knew she didn't have much of a choice. "Very well, it will be 1000 Ryo ma'am." She replied.

To hearing that price, Kin was slightly surprised by the cost of the box of chocolate. However before she could say that anything, Gai simply walked to the front and payed the price in full, surprising the girl.

"Are you sure Gai-sensei? They sound expensive." Kin asked with concern at wasting to much money for just some chocolates.

Gai in response to this nodded as he flashed his Nice-Guy smile to her. "Of course Kin-san, this is your reward for helping us will all our mission!" He declared.

Kin in turn smiled to that as she took the box of chocolates from the clerk. "Thank you Gai-sensei!" She happily replied.

With that, the young kunoichi and the green clad boy, left the store as the clerk looked towards the jonin. "Are you sure its ok to give the young lady those chocolates? The clerk remarked with a concerned tone. "I know that with the headbands, they should be considered adults but still. . ." She then added.

"Hmm?" Gai hummed out as he looked at the clerk. "What exactly do you mean?" He soon asked in confusion.

"Is there something wrong with those chocolates?" Tenten meanwhile asked.

The clerk then knew that the jonin didn't saw the box itself which only further concern her. "The box of chocolates that the girl has, it has ten percent alcohol mixed into them. . ." She explained.

To hearing that, Gai immediately paled as he eyes widen in slight shock. ". . ." He said nothing as he mechanically turned his head towards the young kunoichi and saw that the chocolates were indeed had a small percentage which made him relaxed a bit. "It's alright, it should be-" He began to say.

"Here Lee-kun, would you like a chocolate?" Kin soon offered as she had a chocolate in her hands in front of the boy with a blush on her face.

"Hmm?" Lee got out as he heard the offer.

In an instant, the remaining members of Team Nine save for Lee and Kin, turn paler than a certain snake Sanin when they heard that. "LEE! NOOOOOOOO!" The duo shouted in pure horror as they dashed out of the store.

Lee meanwhile shook his head negatively to the offer. "Why I do appreciate the offer Kin-chan, but I must politely refused! As I made a promise Gai-sensei that I would not eat any sweets after a mission!" He politely declared with his normal level of enthusiasm.

As Lee said this, all of his team fell and comedically slid on the ground as they passed the two.

"Oh. . .ok. Maybe next time then." Kin replied with a slight disappointment, but didn't took offence as she knew how dedicated the boy was towards his sensei.

Then the sliding members of Team Nine finally reached the two. Making said two looked at them with a confused expression on their face. "What are you guys doing?" Lee asked with a confused tone while the girl he was with wondered the same thing.

They then didn't even bother to get up as they felt even more tired than the mission itself. ". . .Nothing. . ." They all declared with a tired yet relieved tones.

Kin meanwhile innocently tilted her head to this, unaware of what happened.

Kai!

---

Gai soon slowly and stiffly turned his head towards the young kunoichi. "K-Kin-san. . ." He stuttered out.

"Hai?" Kin simply replied in a innocent tone.

"T-The chocolate t-that you said that you gave Lee. . .It w-wouldn't happen to be the ones I b-bought you that one time?" Gai then asked with a terrified tone.

Kin in response nodded to that. "Yeah. . ." She simply replied. "I still had one left after that day, so I decided to give it to him a little good luck charm. I thought it would be nice to give him one." She explained with the same innocent tone.

This however, made all of the blood on the jonin's face to vanish as his body went completely white. "That is. . .not good. . ." Gai barely managed to get out with a horrified tone.

Tsunade meanwhile was getting concerned at how the jonin's face was whiter then his former teammate. "Gai? What's wrong?" She all but order the jonin.

"Gai-sensei?" Kin meanwhile asked in concern.

Gai slowly began to turned towards his leader as his trembling gotten worst. "If Lee even gets a bit of alcohol into his system. . .It's a terrible thing!" He declared with the same horrified tone.

"!?" Both Tsunade and Kin's eyes widen in shock and confusion at hearing that. "What do you mean by terrible?" Tsunade asked with concern while the younger girl had a worried expression on her face.

"It happened after Lee manage to learn Reverse Lotus and my team and I when to celebrate his successes." Gai began to explained as he still had the same expression.

Both female kunoichis however didn't saw how that had anything to do with that something terrible.

"During the meal, Lee mistook his drink for the sake I ordered and drank it. . ." Gai continued as his face then began to sweat bullets. "That's when it happen. . ." He then declared with an ominous tone.

". . .It?" Both kunoichi's asked at the same time with a confused tone.

"It. . .happen so fast, with just a sip of the sake it turned into a complete pandemonium. . ." Gai continued his explanation as he recalled the carnage the his prized student had caused.

Images of himself and Neji effortlessly trying to stopped an out of controlled Lee.

"However by the time it was finally over. . .The whole building was in complete disarray and nearly every single wall was completely destroyed like it was a disaster zone. . .I thank Kami that Neji was there to help me. . ." Gai soon declared with a serious tone.

". . .Huh!? H-How did something like that happen!?" Kin asked in confusion and shock to the mere idea of that happening.

"Even you couldn't do stop him?" Tsunade asked as she couldn't believe that some one like Gai couldn't stop a genin by himself.

"Well I couldn't bring myself to harm by beloved student. . ." Gai clarified with serious tone before he crossed his arms and looked at the two woman. "The truth is. . .Lee is. . ." He hesitantly began to say with horrified tone as the two kunoichis were now really concerned.

Back at the open battle field. . .

The boy clad in green took the object and remove the wrappings. "This is. . .Kin-chan's chocolate!" Lee got out as he held the sweet in his hand.

Kimimaro meanwhile didn't want to waste time as he charged forward and was about to attack the distracted green wearing shinobi, however he was forced to stop as a large wall of earth appeared on his bath.

The wall made the white haired boy to jumped backwards and saw the blond had slammed both on the ground, this made him realize that he had cast a Mud Wall.

The blond turned his gaze at his comrade. "Lee, I like chocolate as anyone regular guy would, but I don't think now is the best of times for sweets!" Naruto retorted with an annoyed tone.

This instantly made said green clad boy to recall the current situation. "But this is a gift from Kin-chan! I'm sure if I eat it I will gain her youthful spirit and that will be the key for help us win!" Lee then declared with determination.

". . .Seriously?" Naruto asked with a deadpan tone.

Lee then went and popped the sweet into his mouth as he began to chew it with over exaggerated way, however the moment the boy had swallowed it. . .

GULP!

The boy in green was stationary for a moment before he suddenly began to sway from side to side as he move his body in an dizzy manner.

To the sight of this, Naruto looked at his friend with confused expression on his face. "Uh Lee? You ok?" He soon asked with concern.

"Heee~ I'mma fine Naruto-kun. HICCUP!" Lee got out while his body was rocking back and forth in an uneasy looking way while hiccupping some more.

Naruto meanwhile blinked in confusion to that. ". . ." He couldn't even form a single word as he thought he was seeing and hearing things funny.

Kimimaro however didn't care about the change that occurred as he charged forward readying his bone sword. He then simply passed the wall of earth and headed straight at the boy clad in green.

"Shit! Lee!" Naruto shouted as he feared that in the current state of his friend he was a sitting duck, so he channel some of the dark crimson chakra to increase his speed and charged forward.

As the white haired boy charged at green clad boy, time began to slow down as Naruto desperately ran as fast as he could while Kimimaro adjusted his bone blade and aimed to cut the boy's head.

Then as both boys were but a few feet from the dizzy Lee, he suddenly turned at the Oto Shinobi and suddenly appeared right in front of the white haired boy. "What are you looking at ya freak!?" He suddenly shouted as he sent a kick towards the enemy's chin.

Kimimaro's eyes widened at the boy suddenly appearing out of nowhere. Thanks to his speed and reaction speeds he manage to just barely dodge the attack.

"What the!?" Naruto exclaimed in shock at how he was able to get a hit in.

However while in midair, Kimimaro was forced to use his blade to block a spin kick and then dodge a rapid fury of punches from the drunken boy. "He's faster than before!" He thought.

However the Oto Shinobi's trained of thought was lost as the drunken boy suddenly grabbed his loosed shirt and adjusting his footing in order to throw him in an over shoulder throw before proceeding to do so, but also gave a swift straight kick to his stomach, this send the boy a good distance away.

Kimimaro readjusted himself and landed in his feet as he slightly narrowed his eyes. "His attacks are more chaotic and erratic, completely different from his linear attacks from before." He thought to himself as he watch the drunken boy swag from side to side.

Naruto meanwhile was confused at how his comrade was actually able to do some damage on the enemy. "What the hell did Kin put in those chocolates!?" He exclaimed as he watch the fight between his comrade and the enemy.

". . .The boy is drunk. . ." The dark voice stated in a deadpan tone.

The blond then shook his head off as he regain his focus. "Doesn't matter, Lee is somehow able to push him back, we got a chance now." Naruto declared as he took out two kunais in each hand.

Lee meanwhile kept swaying back and forth his dizzy matter at he looked around. "Ooooh man, all this movin' and jumpin' around is making me soooo sleepy. . ." He soon got out as he fell backwards before. . .

THUD!

"ZZZZZ. . ." Lee let out a loud snore as he laid on the ground

". . ." Both the blond and the Oto Shinobi could say nothing as they looked on at what had just happened.

Then Naruto finally manage to get out of his momentary stun as his eyes widen in shock at what just happened. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" He roared.

"Time to finish this. . ." Kimimaro declared as he adjusted his bond blade and charged at the sleeping boy, not wanting to waste any more time.

"Oh no you don't!" Naruto declared as he managed reached his friend first and blocked the Oto Shinobi from hitting his sleeping comrade using his kunais and the two were locked in placed. "Your not getting past me!" He declared.

However as the blond was holding down the blade, he noticed that his kunais were slowly starting to get cut. "Whoa! How sharp is that thing!?" Naruto thought with fright as it was only a matter of a few more moments before the blade cut completely cut the kunais.

Suddenly Lee stood up and then jumped onto the blond and then used his hands to stand on took of his comrade's head. "Hey! I'mma sleepin' here!" He declared with an annoyed tone.

"HEY!" Naruto shouted as the sudden weight made him pushed his kunais, and by contact, Kimimaro's bone blade down.

This unintentional movement caused Kimimaro to become momentarily exposed and was then followed by the drunken shinobi sending a downwards kicked at the exposed Oto Shinobi's head.

The hit was so strong that Kimimaro was forced to back peddled, though he didn't felt the pain from his current physical state, his eyes were still left dazed by the hit as he realized the state his enemy was in. "I see, so this is a Drunken Fist fighter. . .I need to be more careful fighting this one." He declared with a hint of caution in his mind and then readjusted his bone blade.

While the hit was successful as the sudden move from the drunken boy made the blond fall face first to the ground, this made Lee loose his support before falling asleep once more.

Naruto pulled his face off the ground and had an extremely annoyed face while it was covered in dirt and mud. "LEE! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU FIGHTING HERE!?" He then roared in anger and annoyance.

"ZZZ. . ." But the blond's question was simply replied by Lee's snoring

"OH COME ON!" Naruto then roared in annoyance once more.

"I will deal with him later. . ." Kimimaro declared in annoyance as he did not wanting a repeat of what had just happened, he decided to attacked the blond.

It was thanks to his instincts that Naruto detected the incoming attack. The blond quickly threw the damaged kunais at the enemy, but they were easily cut in half like butter with a hot knife.

Then Naruto tried to reach his pouch to get another two, but he was to late as the enemy was already right right in front of him with his bone blade was heading straight to his heart. "SHIT!" He mentally swore.

As the defenceless blond was about to get stabbed, the sleeping drunken boy suddenly woke up and spun around on the ground and kicked Naruto's legs from behind, this made the blond fall backwards.

"WHOA!" Naruto shouted in startlement, however thanks to this sudden action the bone blade harmlessly pass right above him.

Lee didn't stopped there, he then quickly readjusted himself and then grabbed the leg of the blond that was stretched the highest and used it to kicked the Oto Shinobi in the chin, sending him flying backwards and dropping his blade as the blond struck his head on the ground as a result.

"OW!" Naruto roared in agony as he held his soared head. "WHAT THE HELL LEE!?" He then exclaimed.

"Whas this?" Lee asked as he looked at the blonds leg while he pulling it, as well as the blond, higher and then huffed. "I dons needa weapon HICCUP!" He loudly declared as he let the leg go.

However this action made the blond hit the ground head first. . .again. . .

"OW!" Naruto shouted once more as he held his head while rolling on the ground.

". . ." Kimimaro meanwhile looked on at the sight with narrow eyes. "No choice. . .It's time to end this foolishness. . ." He thought as he took his shirt off.

As the white haired boy did so, the Curse Mark on his chest started to spread with it creating more curved lines that covered more of his chest.

Naruto held his head in slight annoyance as he then looked at the enemy, instantly noticing the marks. "Another Curse Mark. . ." He thought with narrow eyes as he then looked down and saw the blade that the Oto Shinobi had lost.

"He is only delaying his end. . ." The dark and vile voice declared.

Naruto then stretched his hand and grabbed the bone blade. "Not the same as my sword, but it should do for this fight." He thought to himself as he looked towards the enemy, more especifically his Curse Mark spreading over his chest. "Great. . .Like he wasn't a pain as he was now. . ." He then added.

Kimimaro meanwhile then brought out one of his arms. "Time to end this nonsense." He calmly declared in his mind, narrowing his eyes towards the drunken shinobi before bones stretched out of his arm, surrounding his arm.

"Imma gonna enjoy my youth!" Lee declared as he charged at the enemy.

"Wait! Lee!" Naruto tried to stopped the boy as he wasn't in the right mind to think of the Curse Mark activating.

However it was too late as Lee had already in front of the enemy. Lee began to sent barrage of uncoordinated and wild blows, but Kimimaro used the bones in his arm to easily block the barrage.

Then Lee grabbed the enemy's fist and when to delivered a punch to Kimimaro's exposed torso, however when he was about to reached him. . .

SHINK!

Suddenly, unlike when Naruto almost struck him by one single rib, multiple sharp ribs appeared from Kimimaro's torso and tried to stab Lee.

Lee in response just barely manages to avoid the bones as he jumped backwards and landed on his back, but he was cut from his right cheek.

Naruto meanwhile still narrowed his eyes as he then noticed his down comrade. "Hey Lee! You ok!?" asked as he saw the knocked down boy.

"Huh? Naruto-kun?" A very dizzy yet more somber Lee asked as the blood from his cut started to drip down his cheek. "Why am I bleeding?" He then asked in confusion.

"Now your sober!?" Naruto meanwhile exclaimed in annoyance to the development.

Lee then grabbed his head in pain from a headache. "Eh?" He got out, however he couldn't ask anything else as he saw the enemy standing a few feet away from him.

Kimimaro looked down on the the fallen boy as his ribs were still visible. "This is the power of my Kekkei Genkai. . ." He started in his emotionless tone. "With it I can freely control the density of my bones and create new bones all together, as you can see." He revealed.

"Great, so he can you a really strong blood line limit and has a Curse Mark. Things just aren't going our way. . ." Naruto meanwhile thought with irritation and concern.

"That does not matter. . .he will die by the end of the day. . ." The dark and vile voice declared with confidence and excitement.

Lee meanwhile struggled to get to his feet as he looked at the enemy. "It matters not! As I we declared before, bone is still bone! Once its breaks there's no mending it!" He declared as he fully stood up and rushed at the Oto Shinobi.

"Oi! Don't just charged in alone!" Naruto got out as he rushed in after his comrade.

However it was too late as Lee had disappeared and landed right behind the white haired boy.

"Fool." Kimimaro emotionlessly declared as he leaned forwards a bit. "Behold, my Larch Dance." He declared as his back began to move.

"HAAA!" Lee roared as he readied his attack.

Just as the young taijutsu master fist was about to reached him, many bones erupted from Kimimaro's back and embedding them into his fist as well to the side of Lee's waist.

However i didn't' end there as Kimimaro then began to spin around and effectively began hitting and tearing through Lee's body and then ending it with a slash from the bones in the Oto Shinobi arm.

"!" Lee could say nothing as he was then sent flying passed his comrade with many injuries around his body before one last kick from the Oto Shinobi sent him flying backwards.

"Lee!" Naruto shouted at the sight of his friend hitting the ground hard.

Kimimaro then looked away from the green wearing shinobi and towards the blond. "Now that he's finished, it's your turn now. . ." He declared as he retracted his ribs but not his hands.

"You-!" Naruto got out as he began growling.

"Get up. . .Move. . .Kill. . ." The vile voice demanded with a serious tone.

Naruto then began to grind his teeth hard enough that he was near the point of cracking. However, before Naruto could do or say anything.

"Please wait Naruto-kun. . ." A weak voice suddenly got out.

The remaining two shinobi turned and saw that the one that had said that was Lee as he weakly stood up.

". . ." Kimimaro then looked back to the green wearing shinobi with his emotionless expression.

"Hey Lee! Don't force yourself anymore! I'll deal with him now!" Naruto declared with conviction and concern for his friend.

Lee then took a deep breath as he then crossed his arms in front of his face. "You concern is appreciated, however like you Naruto-kun, I never back down from a challenge!" He declared with conviction.

Kimimaro then narrowed his eyes as he forced some bones out of his arms once more. "It is useless, you will die here and now." He calmly declared.

Lee then to slowly began to channeled his chakra. "While is true that your bones allows you to for both offence and defence, as well as having incredible speed. . ." He began to say as he began to channel a huge amount of chakra.

"The gates. . ." The dark voice declared with a slight annoyance.

"What!? He's gonna use that!?" Naruto thought with shock to what was gonna happen. "Damn, this is gonna get intense!" He then added in his head.

"Whatever you are planning, it is futile as what could you possibly do in current condition. . ." Kimimaro then stated.

"The First Gate: Gate of Opening. . .The Second Gate: The Gate of Rest. . ." Lee thought as more chakra started to flow and began to build up in density. "Then I'll simply hit harder and be faster than you! Third Gate: Gate of Life, open!" He concluded as his skin began to change to a red color while his muscles and injuries began to rapidly heal at the same time.

Kimimaro's eyes slightly widen as he witnessed this. "He can heal as well?" He thought with mild surprised before he returned to normal. "No matter. . .it won't make any difference." He then added.

"I'm not done yet!" Lee declared as he focused even more than before and veins began to appeared in his face. "The Fourth Gate: Gate of Pain! Open!" He then added as even more chakra was released.

Naruto was forced to cover his face from the pressure of his friends chakra. "Holy shit! Lee is a monster!" He thought with amazement.

Then the boy lean down and then charged ahead with increased speed that completely shattered the ground behind him as he appeared right below the white haired boy and prepared himself to hit the enemies chest.

Thought slightly impressed by this display, Kimimaro wasn't threatened as he suddenly made many of his ribs to come out to absorbed the hit. "It will take more that brute force to shatter my bones." Was all Kimimaro could say, however. . .

CRACK! SHATTER!

Then the white haired boy's eyes widen then even before as all of his exposed ribs were completely shattered. "Wha-?" But Kimimaro didn't even get to finished his thoughts as he was then sent flying from the hit.

However, thanks the ribs absorbing most of the damage, Kimimaro wasn't nearly as damaged as he could had been, though most of his exposed ribs were broken and shattered.

"THOSE BONES ARE DURABLE INDEED, BUT I WILL NOT FAIL!" Lee then roared as he disappeared once more, leaving another large crater behind him as a result while also showing that the boy was once more rushing towards the enemy.

"Whoa!" Naruto got out as he had to cover his eyes from the dirt and dust being picked up from the sheer force of his comrade's speed. "Damn Lee's fast!" He mentally declared in amazement.

While Kimimaro was still airborne, he readjusted himself just in time to see Lee appearing right in front of him. "His speed is beyond what he had before!" He thought with raising panic.

BAM! WHAM! SHATTER!

Lee then delivered a devastating punch to the Oto Shinobi as he instantly brought out many bones to either absorbed or make his opponent injured himself. However thanks to Lee's new strength, he easily shattered some of them and once more sent him flying to another direction.

BAM! SHATTER! BAM! SHATTER! BAM! SHATTER! BAM!

Soon enough, Kimimaro was being ricocheted through the air by the Konoha shinobi as he barely had a moment to do anything about it as more and more of his bones began to shatter at the same time. ". . ." He said nothing as he sustained the blows he was receiving.

When the Oto Shinobi bones were mostly shattered, Lee send one more upwards kick and sen Kimimaro upwards once more. Then while in midair the white haired boy was wrapped in bandages around his body.

"NOW TO END THIS!" Lee declared as he tightened his fist,

Naruto meanwhile watched the intense beatdown in amazement. "Lee was this strong!? I'm sure as hell glad he's on our side!" He thought as he couldn't even think of a way to help out.

Kimimaro however narrowed his eyes further as his Curse Marks began to spread further around his body while becoming horizontal lines. "Enough. . ." He simply declared.

Lee then cocked back his fist as he channeled a huge amount of his chakra into it, then pulled as hard as he could he bandage and pulled the Oto Shinobi towards him. "HIDDEN LOTUS!" He roared as he struck the enemy with a destructive blow that the created shockwaves.

BOOOOOOOOM!

The enemy then crashed to the ground with so much forced that it left a humongous crater as Lee was then rolled on the ground as he had reached his limits and returned to normal.

Lee was soon panting heavily as he looked at the crater. "It is finish. . ." He declared with a very weak and tired voice.

Naruto on the other hand had to cross his arms in front of his face in order to avoid getting hit from a flying debris from the backlash of the explosion. He then smirked while he looked through his arms that were covering his face. "Yosh! Looks like Lee's won!" He declared with joy.

". . .I wouldn't be too sure you fool. . ." The dark voice declared with contempt.

"Huh?" Naruto got out as he heard that.

Crackle! Shatter!

Suddenly the sounds of cracking and something shattering echoed through the plains. These sound in turn caused both Konoha Shinobis to widen their eyes as they slowly turned towards the crater.

"No. . .way. . ." Naruto got out with disbelief in his voice.

A shadow from the dirt and dust of the crater then began to rise as they began to crack their neck. "I must say. . .your probably the strongest shinobi I have ever fought, not even the former Elite Five could have stand a chance even with their Curse Marks. . ." A familiar voice admitted.

Once the dust had cleared, there coming out of the crater was none other then Kimimaro. However unliked before, there were black line like marks going across his entire body while there was many skin layers missing and inside them looked like instead of muscle tissue it was more as it was replaced with bone.

"Never once I would have ever thought that I would be fighting a Gates user. . .and I certainly underestimated both your power as well as your skills." Kimimaro then revealed while rolling his neck, causing loud cracking sounds to be heard. "But I will not make this mistake again. . ." He declared.

"Oh you have gotta be shitting me!" Naruto roared at the sight.

"N-No way. . ." Lee struggled out as he was feeling the aftereffects of the gates.

Then Kimimaro charged towards Lee with the full intention of ending the boy before he could brought another surprised.

Lee tried to stand but his body was to warned out that he couldn't even stand up properly.

Seeing this, Naruto cursed once more as he challenged more of the dark crimson chakra into his body and dashed in Kimimaro's path with the bone blade in hand.

CLANK!

Naruto had just barely manage to intercept the Oto Shinobi as he used the enemies own weapon to halt his movement. "I don't think so! Your going to face me now!" He declared as he tried to pushed back the enemy.

". . ." Kimimaro simply stared at the boy for a few moments. "Very well. . .I will fight you, however. . ." The Oto Shinobi got out as he then raised his free hand and pointed his fingers as he had them all facing at the struggling Konoha Shinobi. "I'll have to finished that nonsense first. . ." He declared with an emotionless tone.

The blond was startled by this declaration. "What!?" Naruto got out.

"Five Finger Drill Bullets!" Kimimaro then declared.

The next thing Naruto saw was that Kimimaro's finger tips had shooted out hardened bones from the fingertips and they headed straight towards the weaken and defenseless Lee.

Back with Chōji and Tenten. . .

The smoke of the trees still piled up while it continued to leak out.

Tenten somehow manage to straighten herself as she watched the conclusion of the two heavy hitters. "Whoa. . ." She got out in amazement. "The others guys better be careful not to piss him off. . ." She couldn't help but joke out before wincing in pain. "D-Damn. . .he really did a number on me. . ." She admitted.

Chōji panted heavily while he was still in the same punching position as his transformation had ended, returning to normal before he then fell to his knees. "D-Did. . .Did that do it?" He asked himself while panting heavily.

"I think you did it, way to kick that guy's butt." Tenten out with a weak smirk on her face while wincing in pain from her broken arm and leg, before it disappeared and a depressed expression. "I feel like I really didn't do much in this fight. . ." She meanwhile thought.

SMASH! CRASH!

However before her comrade could reply, a heavily damaged Jirōbō pushed out many of the trees as his face had an expression of pure rage, while many veins were visible all over his face and body. "You. . .YOU PIECE OF TRASH!" He then roared with fury.

Tenten winced more in pain as she saw the furious enemy. "N-No. . ." She struggled out with widen eyes.

"I. . .hit him with. . .everything I got. . ." Chōji meanwhile got out with disbelief while panting heavily.

"I'm at my limit dealing with you trash. . ." Jirōbō declared as he began cracked his knuckles once more along with his neck as he then thrusted his hands into the ground.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Both Chōji and Tenten began to slightly trembled as the ground below them shock. "W-What is going on!?" The injured girl got out.

Jirōbō's meanwhile narrowed his eyes as he held the ground. "I'm done playing. . ." He soon declared with a low yet furious tone.

CRACK! CRACK! SHATTER!

Both Konoha comrades mouth were left wide open at what they just witness. In front of them was the Oto Shinobi lifting a humongous boulder that was easily dwarfs the last one he picked up as this one was the size of a two story building as he held it above his head.

"NOW BE CRUSHED AS THE TRASH YOU ARE!" Jirōbō declared as he adjusted himself to throw the boulder.

The weaken Akimichi turned around and tried to reached his injured and terrified friend to get her out of the way, but he knew that he wasn't going to make it.

"NOW DIE!" Jirōbō roared as he then channeled enough of his strength and was about to throw it when

WOOSH!

Suddenly a whooshing sound was heard as something incredibly fast blur passed right below the Oto shinobi as it hit his legs and then quickly moved away, this made him trip in mid swing. "WHAT!?" Jirōbō shouted as him and the boulder fell at the same time.

CRASH!

As a result, Jirōbō was crushed by the boulder and the ground trembled by the huge crash, as the boulder was shattered into a million piece and caused the dirt to scatter.

"What. . .just happen?" Tenten got out in shock and confusion to what just happened.

Chōji meanwhile was just as confused as his friend, he turned around and saw the rubble. "D-Did he. . . just trip?" Was all he could say with a baffled and confused tone while still panting heavily.

CRASH! SHATTER!

Suddenly a huge fist erupted from the rubble and was soon followed by the rest of the Oto shinobi's body, until an even more pissed off Jirōbō came out. "WHO DID THAT!?" He roared with an intense fury in his voice.

"Huh, can't believe your having trouble with this tub of lard on steroids, guess Konoha is really losing their standings." A voice suddenly taunted.

The Konoha Shinobi's eyes then widen to hearing that as they started to search for the source. "W-What the!?" Choji got out.

"Who said that!?" Tenten then questioned in confusion.

Jirōbō meanwhile was also still furious as he searched for the one that insulted him. "WHERE ARE YOU!? COME OUT!" He demanded.

WOOSH! STAB! STAB! STAB!

Jirōbō's question was soon answered by multiple senbons being sent straight at his way. The Oto Shinobi's eyes then widen for a moment as he narrowly dodged most barrage of senbons, however some of them manage to pierced his skin.

The Oto Shinobi winced a bit at the slight stinging sensation as he pulled out the senbons and then turned to looked in the direction they came from. "WHO ARE YOU!?" Jirōbō then roared as he saw a newcomer that was a few feet away from him.

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!

Said newcomer smirked as he looked at the enemy while the sound of wood echoed from his tool. "Allies of Konoha." He declared in a calm yet confident tone.

"!?" The three that were already fighting said nothing as their eyes widen to the declaration.

The newcomer was wearing a black, baggy, full body suit with a red and yellow circle on the front. He also wears a black hood which covered his head completely, and had cat-like ears and his forehead protector on his forehead while his face had purple rectangular warpaint. He also wore black gloves and carries his puppets on his back.

His smirk never left as he looked at the changed Oto Shinobi. "We're Shinobi of Suna." He then revealed.

---

Back with Shikamaru and Kiba. . .

CRASH!

Dust was being scattered once more as Kiba, Akamaru and Shikamaru were once on the defensive as they were forced to avoid the Dokis from the Oto kunoichi while she was playing her injured fingers like a flute to command them.

"Dammit!" Kiba exclaimed as he narrowly dodged the club wielding summon. "Fang Over Fang!" He declared as he and Akamaru attacked the one that was left vulnerable.

The Doki was sent flying but it didn't made any fatal damage to it, Tayuya then began to make another song and making her summon to slowly got back up and when after the Konoha shinobis.

"Oh come on!" Kiba shouted with annoyance as he and his partner continued dodging the mindless summons.

Shikamaru on the other hand was too busy simply dodging attacks as he couldn't afford to stand still and cast his jutsu. "Troublesome. . .we'll ran out of chakra before we could even get close to her at this rate. . ." He then got out.

Tayuya meanwhile was playing her fingers as she looked at the Konoha Shinobis in fury. "That's right you little shits! Run like the little rats you are!" She mentally thought as she commanded her summons while glaring at the Inuzuka. "This is what you get for feeling bad for me Kiba!" She then added in her head.

Kiba meanwhile still kept avoiding the oncoming strikes as he looked at the kunoichi before spitting some blood out of his mouth. "Shit! She's really after me!" He thought in a serious yet panicked tone.

Shikamaru on the other hand also noticed the female's current expression. "Damn, she so furious that her summons attacks patterns are more ferocious and slightly chaotic. Troublesome, there goes all the time I spent memorising her fingers. . .and its useless doing it again now that she's gone wild now with her attacks!" He thought, knowing this could possibly end badly. "And now we can't even get close to her." He then added in his head.

"Fang Over Fang!" Kiba once more declared as he and Akamaru began to spin into the gut of the arms binded Doki.

Tayuya however smirked at this as it was exactly what she was waiting for, with one more change of tone of her flute, the Doki spun around in placed and kicked the both Inuzuka and his partner sending them flying on the opposite direction.

"OMPH!" Kiba got out as he was send flying along with Akamaru, right into the direction their comrade.

Shikamaru had only enough time to see his comrade heading straight towards him. "Troublesome. . ." Was all he could say as both the Inuzuka and his partner crashed into him and landed on top of him. "Kiba. . .get off. . ." He told his friend with an annoyed tone.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Suddenly, the two Konoha Shinobis and the puppy instantly stood back up and they noticed that they were completely surrounded by the three Dokis in a triangular formation, halting any possible escape routes.

The Nara in turn narrowed his eyes to the development. "Oh great. . ." Was all Shikamaru could say to this turn of events.

The Inuzuka then scanned the area as he looked at the enemies surrounding them. "Shikamaru. . .we could seriously need a plan now. . ." Kiba muttered with a slight fear in his tone while looking towards the kunoichi.

Shikamaru in turn nodded to that. "You and me both. . ." He admitted in a quiet tone.

The Oto kunoichi meanwhile smirked in excitement to what happened. "I GOTCHA NOW!" Tayuya mentally declared in satisfaction as she then looked at the Inuzuka while she began to play her fingers like a flute once more. "Now. . .to fuckin' end this. . ." She thought in a dead serious tone.

Then the moment the three Doki hear the music, they began to move closer to the three. "Dude seriously! We're in a really shitty situation here!" Kiba retorted with a slight desperate tone. ". . ." He said nothing as he stared at her with a slightly depressed expression..

". . ." Shikamaru couldn't even reply as his brain was working in overdrive to think of a possible way to get out of this situation.

"NOW DIE!" Tayuya mentally roared as she commanded her summons to attack.

FWOOSH!

Suddenly a very powerful gust of wind blew in a irefuglar manner, it actually circled around the boys and puppy and hit all of the summons sending them flying backwards at incredible speeds while they destroyed multiple trees in the process.

The Konoha Shinobi's eyes soon widen at the sudden development. "!?" Shikamaru said nothing at he was baffled to what happened.

FWOOSH!

However the gust didn't stopped as it changed course and then headed straight at the Oto kunoichi.

"OMPH!" Tayuya got out as she too was hit by the powerful gust and joined her summons.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?" Kiba shouted in complete bafflement at this sudden development while Akamaru yipped with equal confusion as his partner.

". . ." Shikamaru didn't reply as his eye twitched at watching this, as the young Nara knew only one shinobi that had such a jutsu. "Please. . .Kami please! Be anyone one else. . .it can be another enemy for all I care, but please! Don't let it be her. . ." He mentally imploring to every single kami in existence.

The transformed Oto kunoichi then glared as she got back to her feet. "ALRIGHT WHAT THE FUCKIN' HELL!? WHO THE FUCK DID THAT DAMMIT!?" She roared in anger and annoyance.

A female voice then giggled in amusement as a sandy blonde haired girl landed in front of the two. The girl wore a long-sleeved purple blouse under a grey top, a dark blue skirt, and a longer sash arranged in a bow.

"It looks like you two were having a rough time." The girl remarked in amusement. "What happened to all that genius you had the last time we fought?" She then asked.

The Inuzuka's eyes then widen as he recognized the one that saved them. "Huh!? What the hell are you doing here!?" Kiba got out in startlement.

". . ." Shikamaru didn't said a word as all his praying were for not as it was the person he thought it was. "Troublesome. . ." Was all he could say.

Tayuya meanwhile glared at the newcomer in anger. "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!?" She roared with fury. "DAMMIT! CAN'T I JUST TAKE KIBA OUT ALREADY FOR FUCK SAKE!?" She ranted in her head in equal anger and fury as she didn't even think of the other boy or puppy.

The newcomer simply smirked at the question. "Allies of the Leaf." She declared with her tone brimming with confidence.

---

Back at the open field. . .

Time seemed to slow down as the finger bones began to close in to the injured Lee.

Naruto meanwhile could only watch in fear at this as he couldn't reach his friend.

However before the projectiles could reached the injured boy. . .

WHOOSH! DOM! DOM! DOM! DOM! DOM!

Suddenly, a large shadow appeared in front of the downed green wearing shinobi.

Lee could only blinked with a stun expression on his face. "Huh?" He got out as he tried to process this. "This is. . .sand?" He then muttered.

After finally gotten a better look at the shadow the young taijutsu expert saw that it was in fact sand and that it blocked the projectiles that were launched at him.

"How this possible?" Kimimaro asked himself with confusion. "Sand. . .there can only be one person. . ." He meanwhile thought.

Naruto soon shook off his shock and then did a powerful spin kick to hit the distractive Oto shinobi and send him skidding backwards. "Could it be. . ." He muttered to himself as he then began to feel a familiar presence. "Wait a minute. . .isn't this?" He then thought.

"Che. . .him. . ." The dark and vile voice got out in annoyance.

The sand then began to slither away from the shinobi it protected while a pair of footsteps was heard. ". . .You are impatient." A calm yet monotone voice stated to the green wearing shinobi.

Suddenly, a young red haired teen appeared as he was wearing a reddish-brownish bodysuit that had long sleeves and an upright collar and had a mesh armor underneath his bodysuit, however it was only visible on his wrists and ankles. He had a large gourd on his back and wears a white cloth over his right shoulder and the left side of his hips.

The blond insteadly recognized the person. "It's you. . ." Naruto got out with a mixture of surprised, confusion and a hint of happiness at seeing him again.

Lee meanwhile looked on in confusion to the newcomer. "Why. . .are you here?" He then questioned while struggling to get to his feet.

Kimimaro soon narrowed his eyes as he recognized the newcomer. "Gaara of the Desert. So it was you. . ." He declared with a displeasing tone. "Why are you here?" He then questioned.

Gaara then motioned his head towards the blond before facing forward. "I owe Konoha a great debt. . ." He declared with his neutral tone, however it had a hint of deep sense of gratitude in it.

Naruto didn't even need to say a word as he completely understood the hidden meaning and gave the fellow jinchūriki a true smile that was filled with nothing but happiness.

Then without any warning, the white haired boy pointed his fingers at the Suna Shinobi. "Finger Bullets!" He mentally declared as this time he fired ten finger projectiles.

FWOOSH!

The sand then suddenly went in front of Gaara as it instantly blocked the projectiles. ". . .You are impatient too. . ." He then declared to his opponent in the same neutral tone.

The blond teen was glad to see that both boys were alright. "Gaara! It's good to see you again." Naruto got out as if he completely forgotten that the two had a death match before.

A very small smile soon appeared Gaara's face as he looked at the blond. ". . .As is to you. . ." He replied with a calmer and light hearted tone.

"GAHAHAHA, finally a fresh opponent to kill. . ." A slightly insane yet demonic voice declared in excitement, ruining the moment the two host had. "Just let me out and I'll turned him into a beautiful pool of blood!" He declared with a bloodthirsty tone as he laughed with a demented tone.

Gaara in response to that narrowed his eyes in annoyance. ". . .Be quiet Shukaku. . .I do not want to deal with you right now. . ." He declared with a serious tone. ". . .And I am not letting you control me like before. . ." He then added.

Shukaku in response to that narrowed his eyes in disappointment. "Che. . ." He scuffed out in his own annoyance from within his seal. "You were better when you were my blood collecting slave. . ." He remarked with irritation tone. "Damn it! I been cooped in here too long! I want out! But now this idiot won't listen! I need to find a way to get out!" He then added with a whining and horse like pitch in his tone.

"Back off you damned raccoon, this one is my kill. . ." The dark voice then declared in cold fury filled with bloodlust.

To hearing that demand, Shukaku glanced his head in the direction of where his elder sibling was. "WHAT WAS THAT ASSHOLE!? HE'S BLOOD IS MINE!" He roared with pure annoyance and fury. However he felt something off coming from his fellow Bijū but decided to say nothing about it. "Not my problem. . .I have my own problems to deal with. But. . .it may be fun to see him out. . ." He thought to himself with a evil grin on his face.

However to the Bijū's hosts, they were had an irritated expression on their faces. "Great. . .now we have to deal with these two idiots ranting. . ." Naruto deadpanned while he had a large sweatdrop.

The redhead mentally nodded in agreement to that. "Ignore them. . ." Gaara simply declared.

Naruto then rolled his eyes to that. "Been doing that ever since I really met Kurama." He remarked.

Kimimaro meanwhile saw this chances as he charged closer towards the tree comrades while he then raised both hands towards them. "At this distance the impacted will have a much more power." He mentally declared as another barrage of finger bullets was launched, however. . .

WHOOSH! DOM! DOM! DOM! DOM! DOM!

Once more, Gaara used his sand to blocked the attack however, because of the shorter distance, the projectiles had much more penetration power. ". . ." He narrowed his eyes as he then added more of his chakra into the sand to increase its defence property.

Then inside of the red head's seal, the demonic raccoon saw this and smirked in vile delight as an idea that popped inside of his insane head. "GAHAHAHA! My turn!" Shukaku declared in excitement as he closed his eyes and concentrated as his began to sent his chakra into the sand.

Suddenly, the sand began to glow a dark reddish color before it turned back into a blue glow tha shine much more intensely than before as the sand began to encased the bone projectiles and crushing them into dust.

Kimimaro soon stopped his charged when he saw his attack had failed as he narrowed his eyes even further to the sight. "You shield really is impenetrable." He calmly declared while thinking of his next attack.

"Yosh! That was well done Gaara!" Lee declared before he then winced from his injuries.

Naruto's eyes then widen to the sight of this. "Damn, that sand is awesome. . ." He muttered.

". . ." Gaara however narrowed his eyes at this. "That was. . .too much power. . .that's only possible when I used too much of Shukaku's chakra. . ." He then calmly declared.

FWOOOSH!

More sand then suddenly blasted out of Gaara's gourd, combining with the current sand already out as it then created a massive wall.

The sudden eruption of sand caused the two Konoha shinobis to cover their faces. "Uh Gaara? What' the hell's going on dattebayo!?" Naruto asked with a confused tone.

". . ." Gaara however didn't respond as he was honestly confused by this as well.

Then the entire sand stopped and simply fall into the ground. Then after a moment it began to slowly began to slither and rise upward.

Naruto simply blinked and turned at his fellow jinchuriki. "Gaara?" He simply asked.

". . ." Gaara didn't answered at first as he narrowed his eyes. "I am not doing this. . ." He simply declared.

The blond in response to this tilted his head in confusion as he he looked at the redhead. "Wait if your not, then who-" Naruto tried to asked before his eyes widen at realizing what this could mean. "Oh you have got to be kidding me. . ." He then muttered in disbelief.

". . .Idiot. . ." The dark voice insulted in annoyance while growling lowly.

As if answering the insult, the sand slowly began to compressed itself and began to take a more solid form. . .a humanoid shape. Then the superficial part of the sand began to change before it developed into the human disguise for the Ichibi with its usual clothing.

"I'M FINALLY FREE!" Shukaku shouted with pure overexcitement and psychotic glee while thrusting both arms into the air.

Naruto's eye nearly popped out of his face at this. "What the hell!? Is that!?" He roared with completely disbelief.

". . .Dumbass. . ." The dark and vile voice remarked.

Gaara then narrowed his eyes as he recognized the man. ". . .How. . ." He questioned in a serious yet monotone voice.

The human transformation of the Ichibi grinned widely as he looked at his container. "GAHAHAHAHA! I was sick and tired of waiting! Ever since the invasion, I've been bored out of my mind!" Shikaku ranted loudly with an almost squeaky voice.

"And that's why you came out now of all times after the shit you pulled!?" Naruto interrupted with a deadpan tone.

The disguised raccoon then gained a tick mark to being interrupted. "DAMMIT! I HATE BEING INTERRUPTED!" He roared with fury as he sent a wave of sand towards the blond.

"WAH!" Naruto just barely manage to dodge the sand while his container made sure that the sand didn't harmed the injured green wearing shinobi. "Hey watch it! Don't get pissed at me just for that dattebayo!" He declared with a large tick mark on his head.

"Indeed, I find that to be very shallow." Lee stated with a tired tone as he then turned towards his comrade. "However who is he Naruto-kun?" He soon asked.

Shukaku grinned in an insane manner as he cracked his knuckles. "I'M THE MOTHERFUCKIN' ICHIBI BITCHES!" He then declared.

The Team Nine member's eyes the widen to the declaration. "The Ichibi!? The One Tail Demon Raccoon!?" Lee got out with pure shocked at this revelation.

"What I want to know. . .I every single Bijū going to do this now!?" Naruto got out with an annoyed tone as he had enough with this gag.

Kimimaro meanwhile examined what was occurring as he narrowed his eyes. "No matter who it is, anyone who interferes with Orochimaru-sama's wishes will be killed. . ." He thought, not caring who his enemy was as he prepared another barrage of finger bullets. "Now die!" He mentally declared as he fired another wave of projectiles.

WOOSH!

Shukaku simply turned and grinned widely, showing his sharp teeth. Then the projectiles hit the Bijū making him fall to the ground as his body turned to sand.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Naruto exclaimed in shock to what happened. "HE LOST!?" He then added.

"Unbelievable. . .he defeated a Bijū!" Lee got out with pure disbelief.

". . ." Gaara meanwhile wasn't phased by this display.

Kimimaro then turned to the remaining enemies. "Now to kill the rest. . ." He declared with his emotionless tone.

But before anything could be done, the sand where the humanoid Shukaku was started to move and rise upward again. "GAHAHA! This one is impatient as all fucking hell!" A demanded voice soon declared in twisted amusement.

The sand then began to move around as they began to encased the bony projectiles that had hit the Bijū before audible grinding noises were heard from within the sand.

"Impossible. . ." Kimimaro got out with emotionless yet stunned tone.

"Mmm, I needed some calcium for my diet! GAHAHAHA!" Shukaku then declared while cackling loudly as the sand once again began to reshaped and took form into his human form again.

". . .Why can't Kurama do that?" Naruto thought in disbelief to what just happened.

Lee's eyes on the other hand widen at this development. "Whoa. . ." He got out.

". . ." Gaara didn't say anything but narrowed his eyes.

". . .imbecile. . ." The dark voice got out with an angered tone.

"GAHAHAHAHA! Fooled ya good didn't I? Well now it's my turn and you're gonna be boned! GAHAHAHA!" Shukaku declared with another bellowing laugh as he then rushed in with an excited yet insane expression.

Kimimaro however simply took a battle stance as he awaits his new opponent.

Within a destroyed part of the forest. . .

Both Chōji and Tenten's eyes widen as they immediately recognized the newcomer and couldn't believe who it was. "W-Wait. . .your. . ." Tenten got out in confusion. "Kankurō of the Desert. . .?" She concluded.

"I. . .I thought you were working with them. . ." Chōji then stated, also confused to this development. "Why. . .are you here?" He then asked.

Kankurō in response to the reactions from the Konoha Shinobis readied his puppet as he looked at the Oto Shinobi with narrow eyes. "Circumstances changed, turns out that bastard Orochimaru tricked Suna to attack Konoha after killing our Kazekage." He revealed.

The Oto Shinobi in response to that smirked with satisfaction as he looked at the Suna Shinobi. "Well well, it looks like the sand lovers had figured it out, though the damage has already been done in the end." Jirōbō remarked.

To hearing that, Kankuro narrowed his eyes as he looked at the enemy. "Yeah, we we're also at fault for not seeing it coming. . ." He admitted with calm tone, but it was apparent that he was furious on the inside as the puppet began to move erratically. "But we can now get our revenge for being used now. . ." He then stated with a serious tone.

Not even letting the Oto shinobi retort, the puppet charged at him. "Weak!" Jirōbō roared as he swiped the puppet away and then charged straight at the vulnerable Suna shinobi. "Now die!" he then roared.

The Konoha Shinobi's eyes then widen this. "Watch out!" Chōji warned.

Kankurō didn't even bother to dodge or get out of the way from the incoming attack, in fact his smirked widen as the enemy got closer.

As Jirōbō was just a few feet away from the Suna shinobi he cocked back his fist with the full intention of sending his head flying. However had he been paying attention, he would had found it strange that with his strength alone would had shattered the puppet into pieces and not just simply swat it away.

But it the Oto Shinobi only then realized his mistake when he saw Kankurō pulling back his chakra strings. "Gotcha!" He thought. This action made the puppet's arms to detached from its body as the joins areas pulled out large knifes out of them and rain down at the exposed back of the enemy.

Acting quickly, Jirōbō narrowly dodge the knives but was still received nasty gashes, not lethal but still deep ones as blood began leaking out. "DAMN YOU!" He roared with pure rage.

Tenten struggled to move as she soon leaned herself against a tree. ". . .He's good. . ." She admitted.

The Suna Shinobi in response simply smirked at that as he retracted his puppet with the simple motion of his fingers. "Ah, I was aiming for you vitals, oh well, I'll just try a bit harder." Kankurō taunted. "Now it's time to make it rain!" He declared.

WIth a swing of his wrist, the Suna Shinobi made his puppet to flew upwards and then a rain of kunais rained down from the sky.

Jirōbō however was prepared this time as he quickly slammed his hands down and pulled out a earth slab to use as a shield to blocked all of the kunais. "Your not taking me down that easily!" He declared with an arrogant tone as he panted a bit.

Kankurō's smirk on the other hand didn't wavered. "Wouldn't dreamed of it, or it will make you look even more pathetic then you're already are." He retorted as he once again moved his wrists and fingers.

The puppet's head then jerked sideways a little before it charged forwards while spinning around, then began to throw rapid punches at the enemy.

Jirōbō this time wasn't going to fall for the same trick yet again as he slammed his fist onto the ground. "TERRA SHIELD!" He roared made a huge earth shield and when the puppet clashed with it, it shattered and its parts were sent flying everywhere. "HAHAHA! NOT SO TOUGH WITHOUT YOUR TOY NOW! NOW DIE!" He then roared as he then picked up the huge rock and was about to throw it to crushed his opponent.

"Good thing that my toy is easy to fix!" Kankurō retorted as he pulled his strings around.

This action made every single body part of the shattered puppet to suddenly gain a single blade and then headed straight towards the momentary exposed Oto Shinobi. Acting quickly, Jirobo swag the rock and manage to blocked most of the body parts as one last single piece was heading straight for his head. He quickly let go of the rock and grabbed the blade just in time from being able to pierced his skull.

"Che, cheap stupid trick!" Jirōbō declared as he tightened his grip on the blade, causing blood to purposely leak from his hand.

Tenten meanwhile looked on as she saw that the blade was near his head. "So close. . ." She muttered out.

The Suna Shinobi saw this and grinned with satisfaction. "Is that so? I would look at those cuts, they may leave a nasty surprise." Kankurō declared with a playful manner as he brought another blade to side, this time showing that it was dripping a purple liquid.

"What the hell is that-" Was all Jirōbō could get out as his suddenly starting to feel light headed and nauseous. This made the Oto Shinobi to realize what was happening. "POISON!" He roared with pure anger. "How!? It shouldn't be possible! In my level two I should be resilient against poisons!" He then thought to himself with disbelief.

The Suna Shinobi then smirked as he watched the enemy beginning to weaver and figured what he was probably thinking. "Not just any poison, is a very powerful and potent poison that a certain old hag taught me after the invasion." Kankurō revealed as the puppet began to realized a small cloud of purple mist from its mouth. "And you can probably feel it, this one can even affect a freak like you." He added with an arrogant and confident tone.

Jirōbō could only growled with pure rage at being looked down by a weakling before coughing heavily from breathing in the poison.

Meanwhile, both Chōji and Tenten's eyes widen as they also finally realized what just happen. "All those attacks he just did, they were all for the sake of slowly poisoning him." Tenten got out.

The Akimichi could only nod in agreement to that. "Yeah, he must had known about the curse mark's power so he made sure to use such a powerful one that could even affect or at least weaken someone using it" Chōji added his piece as he was amazed by both the ingenuity and planning from the once enemy shinobi.

As this the Oto Shinobi continued coughing and hacking up blood, he looked on at the Konoha and Suna Shinobi with fury as his Curse Mark started to recede. "D-Damn you. . ." He got out.

Kankurō then looked on at the poison cloud as he narrowed his eyes. "Time to end this." He declared as his other hand began to move in completely new motions while the bundle of wrappings on his back shot into the air. "Time for the Black Ant!" He then added.

Then on command, another puppet came out were the bundle was located. This puppet had a much longer head than the Crow puppet, it has a bucket-shaped face sporting two sharp red horns and six arms and finally it has three eyes similar to as the first one with a dark dishevelled hairstyle.

"A new puppet?" Tenten got out in confusion.

"What is he doing now?" Chōji then asked with equal confusion.

Jirōbō meanwhile kept coughing as some blood started to come out now, but his anger made him completely ignore this. "You think having another doll will be enough to beat me!?" He spat out, unaware of the shadow behind him.

The Suna Shinobi however just smirked to that. "Yeah, I actually do." He replied in confidence as he then moved the chakra strings of Black Ant.

The puppet on command shot straight at Jirōbō while its multiple arms flew by the sudden movement. Once it was within range the puppet's arms then extended around the Oto Shinobi.

"ARGH!" Because of Jirōbō's weaken state, he couldn't dodge what was happening so he was forced to be let be held by the puppet. However even in his current state, he let out a grin. "Hehe. . .HAHAHA! YOU THINK THIS IS ENOUGH TO BEAT ME!?" He laughed out in a maniacal manner as he began to channel his chakra while struggling to break free from the hold.

"Boy do I hate repeating myself, but on this case I'll do it one more time. . ." Kankurō declared with his smirk widening. "Yes, I do fatass." He concluded as he made integrated finger moments with his chakra strings.

SHINK! SHINK! SHINK!

"AAAAH!" Jirōbō then let out a roar of pain when the arms then held him suddenly sprout out many blades which impaled his body. Though they didn't hit his vitals, they made deep cuts while blood began to spray everywhere.

"And now. . ." Kankurō declared with a smirk as he prepared the Crow puppet while it went into the air.

Jirōbō was then freed from his binds as he tumbled a few times, however his freedom was short lived as Black Ant's limbs separated while its body suddenly open and trapped him inside. "DAMN YOU! LET ME OUT!" He roared with anger and rage as he couldn't properly used his his left arm because of his injuries.

With one last smirk from Kankurō, he move his strings yet again for the final command. Then while still in midair, Crow's own limbs and head separated as they join Black's Ant's and they all sprout out multiple blades from their joints. "The end." He concluded as he swag both hands downwards.

WOOSH! WOOSH! WOOSH! SHINK! SHINK! SHINK!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Jirōbō roared in pure agony as every single blade on the puppets limbs struck through the holes in Black Ant's body and skewered the Oto Shinobi's body.

The Konoha Shinobis meanwhile could only watch in stun and surprise bafflement at this. Here was just one shinobi easily beating an opponent that they could barely fight back and was effortlessly and systematically beating him with tactics and tricks without any brute power or force.

Within a condensed and misty area of the forest. . .

WHIRL! BOOM! WHIRL! CRASH!

The sounds of multiple drill like sound and massive explosion continued to echoed through the forest as falling trees continued to fall one after the other. As this was going on, Hinata and Kidōmaru continued to ran through the forest, the Hyuga continued to used the Hidden Mist to concealed her moments as best as it could, however because of the drill like arrows it only worked for a few moments before the Oto shinobi quickly found his opponent.

This battle, though brief as it may be was becoming more and more dangerous and hectic by the second as each arrow was getting a bit more precise than the last, making it much more difficult for the female Hyuga.

"DODGE!" The dark and vile voice roared in a demanding and warning tone.

No sooner was the warning roared, Hinata was forced to skip the tree branch and land onto the ground with a roll just in time to watch that the branch that she was about to land on was completely obliterated by another arrow which soon followed by another explosion upon impact.

The female Hyuga had to used her arms to protect her face from any debris from hitting her face and eyes. "Too. . .close. . ." Hinata breathed out as more sweat began to run down her head while feeling cold sweat throughout her body.

Kidōmaru meanwhile continued to laugh maniacally as he spewed out another drill like arrow. "YES! THAT'S IT MY ULTIMATE PREY! RUN! COWER! FEAR ME! FIGHT ME! GIVE ME THE CHALLENGE I DEMAND!" He roared in insanity.

". . .He's. . .He's completely. . .insane!" Hinata thought in a panic as she ran through the mist covered forest, seeing through it fine thanks to her Byakugan.

Then the female Hyuga frowned as she recalled the memories she had received from her clone a few moments ago.

"I hate to say this but I think that Neji's plan will be vital on defeating him. . ." Hinata begrudgingly added in her head. "I'll need to cast that new jutsu I have been developing to give Neji-niisan enough time to execute his plan. . ." She concluded as she still didn't want to force her cousin in his current state.

Then a deep and menacing growl echoed inside of the girls mind. "You wouldn't need to if you use more of my power. . ." A dark voice then reminded. "And give this insect a fitting end for this battle crazed fucker. . ." He soon added.

Though the female Hyuga narrowed her eyes at hearing that, she still focus on her opponent.". . .Kurama, you know that I don't want to abuse your power. . ." Hinata then counter reminded as she once more cast her Hidden Mist, though her eyes flashed red for a moment.

". . ." The dark voice only growled with great displeasure and anger. "No matter. . .you will all succumb soon enough. . ." It then thought to itself with a vile yet excited tone, as if knowing what was going to happen.

Suddenly, the sound of an echoing whistle was heard through the mist.

While Kidōmaru didn't so much as pay the slightest attention to this, Hinata however narrowed her eyes as they flashed red again. Then she came out of hiding and looked straight at the enemy.

"HAHAHA! WELL WELL MY PREY! HAVE YOU FINALLY SURRENDERED YOURSELF TO BE MY ULTIMATE PRIZE!?" Kidōmaru then questioned in the same insane tone.

Instead of replying, Hinata began to rapidly made many hand seals at rapid succession one after the other. "Water Style. . ." She started as massive amount of mist began to gather and swirl around the girl.

"HA! YOU THINK MORE MIST CAN STOP ME NOW!?" Kidōmaru then declared..

However, no sooner this left the Oto Shinobi's mouth, did the mist began to move, it slowly began to retract back toward the female Hyuga as it slowly began to take form into a very distinct shape.

The Oto Shinobi's eyes then widen to this development. "WHAT!?" He exclaimed in shock and confusion.

Soon before the enemies very eyes, the mist began to form a dragon like shape as it then coil around the Hyuga while its red eyes sparked in a sinister light. "Mist Dragon!" Hinata soon declared as the dragon let out a loud roar.

". . .Haku?" The dark voice guessed with a smirk at the reveal of this new jutsu.

Hinata's eyes flashed red once more as she could only mentally smile at that. "Yes, however it was thanks to Haku-sensei's and Kurenai-sensei's help that I manage to create it."

"That woman?" The dark voice asked with a confused tone as it didn't understood how the young jonin sensei could had help at all.

Hinata soon gave off a rare smirk on her face with her's and the dragon's eyes once more flashing red in perfect synchronization. "You'll see. . ." She replied with full confidence.

Then with a roar, the mist dragon charged straight at the Oto Shinobi while it bare its fangs at the enemy.

Kidōmaru meanwhile simply scoffed at this. "So you turn your mist into a dragon, big deal! I'll just blow it away along with you!" He declared as he pulled out his drill arrow and released it.

WHIRL! WHOOSH!

The result was the same as the arrow easily dispersed the dragon by its drill like head, however unlike the last time the mist still remain around the area.

However Kidōmaru didn't even cared about this as the arrow continued its charge straight at the female Hyuga's head. Kidōmaru soon smirked psychotically when he saw that there was no way for the Hyuga to dodge his arrow.

BOOM!

With a massive explosion occurred as the Hyuga's head was completely missing, and thanks to his third eye, Kidōmaru knew that the body still had chakra showing that it was real.

"I WON!" Kidōmaru declared in excitement to his victory. However in his state of ecstasy, he didn't even found the fact that there wasn't even a drop of blood around the neck of the Hyuga strange.

Suddenly an amused yet teasing giggle echoed from below.

"EH?" Kidōmaru snapped out of his trance when he heard this as his eyes widen. "WHAT!?" He exclaimed in shocked and confusion.

What the Oto Shinobi saw was the headless body of the female Hyuga suddenly vanished and a few steps to its right, was Hinata without a single injury on her body. "You were saying?" She then asked.

"HOW!? HOW ARE YOU ALIVE!?" Kiōomaru then demanded as he readied his bow again.

"Should you really be snapping at me and not paying attention?" Hinata then retorted with red eyes flashed before she snapped her fingers, causing the mist dragon to reform around her before she pointed right above him.

Then Kidōmaru had no choice but to jumped backwards as he couldn't spew out another arrow. He just barely had enough time to dodge the dragon.

"Eight Trigrams" A voice suddenly declared.

Kidōmaru could only had time to turned his head around and saw the injured male Hyuga with his right palm at him.

"Air Palm!" Neji soon declared as he brought his hand upward. In an instant, a gale of chakra was sent upwards in a very powerful out the boy's palm.

Unable to change coursed from this sudden attack, Kidomaru was hit in his back, this sent him flying upward as well as spin downwards.

BAM! SLAM!

There was so much impact forced in the crash that Kidomaru bounced from the small crater he cause.

However the Oto Shinobi's pain didn't stopped there as Neji suddenly appeared right infront of him before quickly retracted his hand and then began to channel more of his remaining chakra. "In all of your excitement. . .You forgot the most important thing a shinobi should always be aware off. . ." He declared as he then focused his chakra in his right index and middle finger as he thrusted his hand forward

Suddenly Kidōmaru felt pain, excruciating pain all over his body which originated from the back as all he could do was helplessly remain in midair.

THUD!

Kidōmaru fell to the ground as his body refused to listen to anything he commanded it to. "H-How-!?" Was all he could get out.

Neji panted heavily as he could just barely stand firm from both his injuries and his near empty chakra reserves. "Always be aware of your surrounding. . ." Be declared in a calm yet serious tone.

THUD!

Then Hinata landed close to her cousin as her clone soon supported him, but he simply waved to her concerns. "Indeed. . ." She agreed with a nod.

As the dying Kidōmaru struggled to looked at the Hyuga cousins, his eyes saw that the dragon retreating back towards the female Hyuga, he saw it passing right by trees and branches without leaving so much as a drop of water on them. This made his eyes widen even further. "T-THE DRAGON. . .WAS A GENJUTSU!?" He realized more than asked.

"Part genjutsu." Hinata revealed as the dragon made of mist coiled itself around her side. "I can freely switch it from being a genjutsu and a ninjutsu using the water particles." She explained.

Then the mist dragon left its caster's side before it began circled around a tree as it chomped off a branch with it's teeth, this caused branch then started to fall.

"By either condensing or separating the mist properties from liquid to gas, I can make it at least half as strong as a normal water dragon." Hinata declared in a calm matter.

Then the mist dragon returned once more as it's and Hinata's eyes flashed red again. "Once you see its eyes, it will makes my opponent see a mirage of myself, even if you can see chakra, all you'll see the mist having my chakra and my appearance." Hinata then added.

Neji meanwhile struggled to stay standing up as he looked at the female Hyuga. "You have made such a versatile jutsu Hinata-sama." Neji praised with a tired smile. "While it does not have a high destructive power, however I can say that this jutsu is at the very least an A-Rank." He then added with a hint of jealousy yet prideful tone in his voice.

This made Hinata smiled kindly as she recalled the people that helped her with the creation of her newest jutsu. "I couldn't have made it without Haku-sensei's water teachings and Kurenai-sensei's genjutsu training." She countered with a modest tone.

". . .That does not matter. . .end him now. . ." The dark and vile voice demanded.

This made the female Hyuga to turned towards the enemy, this also caused her cousin to turn and both looked at the dying Oto Shinobi.

---

Within another condensed area of the forest. . .

The Konoha Shinobis looked on at the back of the Suna Kunoichi that stopped the attack coming from the Oto Kunoichi's summons.

"Why would you help us? You did try to destroyed are village." Shikamaru asked with a calm tone, but inside he was fulled of suspicious. "I mean I heard the rumors, but I wasn't sure if they were true." He then added.

"It wasn't personal." Temari simply replied as her eyes never stopped watching the enemy. "You should know that we shinobis simply accept our mission and do as we are told." She declared with with a neutral and devoid of any remorse. "Now our mission is to assist Konoha, Kankurō is helping the chubby and the weapons girl while Gaara helps the blond gaki and the weird guy with the bowl head." She then revealed.

"Wait if your brother Kankurō stayed to help Chōji and Tenten, they why didn't you go help out Hinata and Neji?" Shikamaru asked with concern that something had happened to them.

The kunoichi simply smirked as if knowing what the Nara was thinking. "I did plan to help out at first, but the moment I saw that Hyuga girl was there, I knew they wouldn't need any of my help." Temari simply stated.

This made the Inuzuka to raised an eyebrow as he placed the enemy's flute in his pouch. "Why's that?" Kiba asked with confusion while Akamaru whined in confusion as well.

Temari simply let out a small giggle to that. "Because, anyone that can stand up to Gaara and actually beat him when he's on a full rampage mode, then she hardly needs any of my help at all." She soon answered.

It took a few moments before the Inuzuka understood the hidden meaning in the older girl's words. "What's that supposed to mean!?" Kiba roared with indignation while Akamaru barked with annoyance. "You saying we're weak!?" He then added in an offended tone.

Shikamaru on the other hand simply let out a sigh. "Troublesome. . ." Was all he had to say as he knew that was exactly what the allied kunoichi meant.

Temari then looked back to where the enemy was as she hid away a small smirk. "Actually I should be thanking those three runts for literally beating some sense into my little brother." She then admitted in a mutter with a voice full of gratitude.

Shikamaru however rolled his eyes as he noticed the small smirk on the girl's face before smirking himself. "That's just how troublesome those three are. . ." He then remarked but he was glad that his friends brought new light into someone like Gaara.

Then the Suna kunoichi smirked widely even more. "And besides that, it looked like you could use more help than anyone else." She then remarked in a teasing tone, more so towards the Nara.

In an instant, said Nara only frown and sighed with annoyance as he found it bothersome to say anything else.

On the other hand, the Oto Kunoichi's anger grew as she looked at the group. "DAMMIT! YOU'RE ALL FUCKIN' PISSING ME OFF! ESPECIALLY YOU KIBA!" Tayuya roared with fury.

Kiba's head then jerk back towards the enemy. "What!? What the hell did I do!?" He exclaimed in anger and confusion.

"YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!" Tayuya roared once more with fury.

"And I said. . .WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO!?" Kiba simply retorted with an equal tone as the Oto kunoichi.

Temari blinked a few time in confusion as she turn her gaze at the Nara, who simply let out a sigh, before putting the pieces together. "Don't tell me. . ." She got out.

The Nara in turn sweatdropped to that. "Troublesome. . ." Shikamaru once more repeated, that being the only thing that had to say for the allied kunoichi to concern her doubts.

The puppy on the other hand let out a sigh as he too knew this and was wondering if he should even bother to help his thick headed partner at all with this situation.

Tayuya then brought her fingers up as she glared at them. "DIE!" She demanded as she began to play her fingers as a flute once more with the melody echoing through the forest.

On command, the Dokis once more jumped towards the Konoha shinobi and Suna kunoichi. Both Shikamaru and Kiba quickly jumped out of the summon's range, however Temari didn't as she stood her ground.

"Oi! What the hell are you doing!? We gotta move! Kiba warned as he jumped back to a branch further from the summons.

"GET BACK HERE!" Tayuya mentally roared with anger as she continued to play her fingers as a flute.

Once the Dokis were near range they try and land a strike, however the Suna kunoichi continued to avoid the attacks effortlessly. Temari smirked she continued to dodge every single attack with minimal effort.

Kiba meanwhile watched on to what was happening as he blinked at the sight. "Damn, she's good. . ." He begrudgingly admitted.

Shikamaru on the other hand only sighed yet again. "This is why I hate dealing with troublesome woman. . ." Was all he had to say.

"THAT'S IT! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU SORRY ASS!" Tayuya declared in her head as her rage was reaching critical levels and wanted to severely hurt someone really bad, on this case it was a certain dog loving boy who was well out of her's and her summons range.

Then once all three's summons attempts to killed her had failed to make contact, the Suna kunoichi then opened her fan as it revealed three purple circles. "Let's end these annoying summons quickly." She told herself with an overconfident tone.

On command, a large gust of wind blew away all three Doki's, sending them flying in different directions crashing through multiple trees and knocking them down with ease.

CRASH! BAM! BOOM!

"SHIT!" Tayuya shouted as she protected herself from the raging winds from forcing her back as well.

The moment they stopped they all disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Kiba's eyes then widen as he saw that the summons were easily beaten. "Damn! That was a lot of power!" He admitted once more, this time being impressed before turning to the Nara. "No wonder you surrendered to her back at the exams." He then remarked.

Though most had thought this way, both high level jonins and some of the Nara's friends knew that Shikamaru could had won that match had he decided to take it more seriously, but he would simply replied with. . .

"Troublesome. . ." Shikamaru repeated once more on what he had to say on the subject.

Tayuya's anger meanwhile continued to growl at what was happening. "FUCKIN' BITCH!" She mentally roared once more in fury to the development as she placed her fingers near her mouth once more.

The Nara then narrowed his eyes as he witnessed this. "Careful! She can cast really powerful genjutsu with sounds. She first used a flute but she can still make even more powerful version with just her fingers alone." Shikamaru stated his warning.

The Suna kunoichi in response nodded to that. "Roger." Temari simply replied.

CHOMP!

The Oto Kunoichi once more bite into her fingers till near her bones and began to blow another eerie sound.

"Here it comes!" Kiba meanwhile warned as he covered his ears.

WHOOSH!

With a mighty swing of her fan, Temari unleashed yet another powerful gust of wind that forced even the trees to move in the opposite direction. The winds were so strong that they easily shattered the sound waves that the Oto kunoichi had created.

However the gusts of wind didn't stop until it reached the Tayuya and created several gashes all over the hand she was biting for her improvised flute. "AAAAAAAGH!" She screamed in agony before she instinctively started holding her wounded hand as blood started to come out. "FUCK!" She then wailed out her swear from the pain.

Kiba meanwhile winced at the sight as he uncovered his ears. "Damn. . ." He muttered out.

Shikamaru on the other hand was shielding his face while watching this with a stunned expression. "That attack was able to deflect the sounds and also used it to cause physical damage." He thought to himself with a baffled tone.

Having no choice, Tayuya quickly made a hasty retreat to conceal herself behind a tree as she began to sweat. "Shit! This is fucking ridiculous!" She mentally admitted as she held her injured hand while applying pressure so that she stop the blood from flowing out. "Dammit! All I fuckin' wanted to do was kill Kiba and that other fucker! But no! Now I have to deal with this Suna bitch that just happens to be my worst enemy!" She then ranted in her head.

Shikamaru then looked around to try and find the enemy, but she was out of his visual range. "Damn, at this rate she's gonna plan a counterattack on us." He got out with narrow eyes.

"We can't let her get the chance. . ." He then added.

Shikamaru then turned towards the Inuzuka. "Kiba, can you find-" He started to ask, however. . .

The Suna kunoichi however let out a yawn as she gain a bored expression. "Well, I'm bored. . ." Temari commented with a bored tone as she bit her thumb, causing blood to flow. "Let just end this already." She decided as she grazed her blood onto her fan. "Summoning Blade Dance!" She soon declared as she swung her fan with an incredible amount of force.

The instant Temari had swung her fan, a small white weasel that had a small black sleeveless shirt, it had a bandana over his left eye appeared and was holding a sickle appeared within the winds.

Tayuya meanwhile was finished bandaging her injured arm as she was ready to bite her other hand. "Got to finish this now! Going to have to use everything-" Was all she could get out as he eyes widen at what she saw.

FWOOOOOOSH! SHINK! SLICE! SHINK! SLICE!

On command, a massive tempest of wind was created as it soon expanded, covering most of the forest.

Both Konoha shinobi's and the puppy were covering their faces when the force of the wind hit them, but it wasn't as bad as the direction of the wind itself. Then as they slowly the winds calmed down, they unshield their hands and their eyes widen in pure shock.

The effects of the jutsu were devastating, as it had at the very least several hundred metres area of effect. The attack had took down several trees, boulders, and other forms of debris around them, to which they couldn't recognize the area as a forest at all since all the trees were sliced down to the trunks.

This caused Kiba to be visual shaken at the sight of all of the trees piled on top of the defeated kunoichi. "W-Whoa. . ." He breathed out in amazement, disbelief and most importantly but would never admit it, scared shitless that the girl did all the damage she did.

However the small puppy could easily tell what his partner felt and began to sniff the air. "Arf!" Akamaru suddenly barked out. "She's still alive." Was what only Kiba could understand.

Kiba's then widen when he hear that as he looked at the enemy kunoichi. "O-Oh. . ." Was all the boy could get out as he felt immense relief.

Temari then held her fan as she then leaned on it slightly in satisfaction of the results. "Well they were hardly any trouble, I guess I was right on assisting you two. . ." She declared with a large smirk on her face.

However the two Konoha shinobis easily saw that assisting really meant saving their asses. Which only made Kiba realized just how underpowered he was. While not expressing it outwardly, this end result made Shikamaru feel like an incompetent leader.

---

Back at the large clearing area. . .

The human shaped Bijū was laughed madly as he charged at the Oto Shinobi.

"GAHAHAHAHAHA! Get ready to be give me your blood and bones!" Shukaku declared with his high pitch tone.

Kimimaro however simply pulled out two more bone blades from his palms as he awaited his opponent.

However, before the two could clash. . .

"Enough." Gaara simply commanded as he pointed his right hand at the charging Shukaku.

This instantly caused the human shape Bijū to stop in in his tracks. "What!?" Shukaku roared with anger and confusion.

"I have enough of this. . ." Gaara simply declared as he then channeled his chakra and began to take control of the sand that the Bijū had used to form his human form.

"Hey!? Hold on! What the hell are you doing!?" Shukaku demanded as the sand that made of his body began to leave him.

"Bad raccoon. . ." Gaara simply declared as more and more of the sand came back to his side.

"Fuck!" Shukaku cursed as most of his sand left his body.

The blond Chunin could only looked on with a baffled expression on his face. "I don't even know what's going on anymore. . ." Naruto got out with a confused tone.

"Idiocracy. . ." The dark and vile tone deadpanned in annoyance.

Lee meanwhile blinked at the sight of this. "What happen to the Ichibi?" He simply asked with a confused tone.

Then as if to answer the green clad boy's question. . .

Then out of the remaining sand began to join together until a tiny version of the raccoon Bijū was formed. "OI! IT WAS JUST GONNA GET GOOD!" Shukaku roared with pure anger, however he stopped his ranting when he saw his current form. "WHAT THE HELL!?" He then roared with pure indignation at the form he was forced to take.

". . ." Everyone present, save Gaara and Kimimaro, simply stared at the chibi raccoon Bijū with a confused expression on their face.

The sand then started to gather around Gaara as he looked at the bone user intently. "I will be your opponent. . ." He calmly declared as he

Then Gaara pulled the remaining sand below the chibi Bijū to pull him back. "FUCK YOU! THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY BIG COME BACK! LET ME GET MY BLOOD! DAMMIT ALL!" Shukaku roared while flailing his tiny stubby arms.

"Again. . .what the hell is going on?" Was all Naruto could say.

". . .again, idiocracy. . ." The dark and vile voice declared once more.

Once the Bijū was behind both Naruto and Lee, Gaara looked back at Kimimaro as the sand began to rise, this gave the Oto shinobi the confirmation that their fight would continued.

---

Back at the opening of the forest. . .

Kankurō pulled his chakra streams and pulled back his two puppets while throwing away the body of the Oto Shinobi, however the moment it land on the ground it leat out a groan of pain, shocking both Konoha shinobis.

"Huh, your still alive." Kankurō stated in annoyance.

"How could he still be alive?" Tenten weakly got out as she used her good arm to sat up right. "Doesn't this guys just stay dead?" She then asked with an annoyed tone.

The Suna shinobi let out a scoff at that. "Maybe his fat ass cushioned the stabs and saved him from dying to quickly." He simply remarked.

"You gotta be kidding me. . ." Chōji got out in disbelief while flinched in pain as he could still feel the negative side effects of the food pills.

The dying Jirōbō could only used his remaining left arm to try to pulled himself up as he had a looked that could killed anyone ten times over. "I'm. . .not done yet. . .scum. . ." He declared in a weaken tone.

"Give it up already, your good as dead with those injuries anyway." Kankurō simply retorted as he didn't even saw the dying enemy as a threat anymore.

To hearing that, the Oto shinobi lower his head to where shadows here covering his eye as he hand weakly moved towards his pouch. "You really think you won that easily you pieces of scum!" He declared with fury.

"Nothing but the wailing of a dying loser." Kankurō retorted while smirking at him.

However, even in her injured state, Tenten managed to see that the what the Oto Shinobi was doing. "Hey! He's grabbing something!" She warned.

"Huh?" Both males got out with a confused tone.

Jirobo then pulled out what looked like a black glowing pill. "This is far from over scums! I'll be the one that have the last laugh! WHEN I TEAR YOU TO SHREDS!" He roared with pure anger as he then forced the pill into his mouth and down his throat.

GULP!

"!?" The three got out in confusion as they witnessed their dying enemy perform this action, wondering if this was a suicide attempt to take them out.

However before anyone could do or say anything else.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Suddenly, the dying Oto shinobi started screaming and convulsing in a spastic manner as his body began to move around like a rag doll.

The Suna shinobi then readied himself as he looked at what was happening. "What the hell!?" Kanakurō shouted with a baffled expression on his face.

Chōji's eyes then widen as he witnessed these actions occurring. "W-What's happening to him?" got out with a confused tone.

"Did that pill do that!?" Tenten guessed as she then winced in pain. "Chōji, do you know anything about that pill?" She then asked her friend.

Chōji however shook his head in negative way. "N-No, I never heard of any black glowing pills like the one he just took." The Akimichi replied as he winced from the pain.

The Oto shinobi suddenly stop and then fell to the ground. After a few moments, the Curse Mark on his neck suddenly sprout a live as the rectangular like markings exploded outwards, but only this time the had a sinister black color and aura that completely covered his entire body.

Then suddenly open his eyes, but they become completely while, on contract of his completely black body, his hair soon started to fall off like his was shedding and then used both of his arms to raised himself.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Jirōrō let out a monstrous roar to the sky before he was completely enveloped in a black colored light cover him and a wave of chakra expanded across the area.

"WHAT'S GOING ON!?" Tenten shouted as the Akimichi was holding her so that she wouldn't be sent flying.

"I HAVE NO IDEA!" Kankurō shouted back while using his arms to shield his eyes.

A few moments earlier at the denser section of the forest. . .

Hinata had deactivated her Mist Dragon and was now helping her injured cousin, once she got a good hold on him the two turned around and began to leave the area, but they stopped when they heard something from behind.

"Hehehehe. . ." A dying Kidōmaru darkly and dryly chuckled out as he struggled to move one of his arms but could only move one of his arms.

"He's planning something. . ." The dark and vile voice advised.

Even though he didn't hear that statement, Neji turned his head as she looked at the enemy. "What are you laughing about?" He questioned in a serious tone.

Hinata then looked at the downed enemy. "This fight is over. . ." She reminded.

"That does not matter, you should just kill the insect. . ." The vile voice declared.

However the dying Kidōmaru meanwhile continued chuckling darkly while struggling to move as his entire body was rendered paralyzed from the turn of events that occurred in the end. While using is remaining mobile arm moved towards his pouch.

"Not yet. . .I'm not done yet. . ." Kidōmaru weakly muttered out, then a grin of insanity appeared on his face when his hand grabbed onto something. "My hunt. . .is not over yet!" He then declared as he jerked his hand upward to reveal a black glowing pill.

To seeing this, Hinata frowned while she narrowed her eyes and carefully jumped with his cousin at a safe distance away. "What is that?" She thought to herself as she got a bad feeling about that.

". . ." The owner of the dark voice said nothing as it looked on at this declaration and reveal.

Not taking any chances, Neji quickly activated his Byakugan and narrowed his vision directly at the menacing looking pill. "Hinata-sama. . .that pill. . ." He weakly got out.

The female Hyuga didn't need to be told twice as she too activated her Byakugan and her eyes widen in shock. "What. . .what is that?" She got out with a sense of danger in her tone.

What both Hyuga's saw was that inside of the black glowing pill it looked as if it contain tiny moving organisms that looked alive. However the most disturbing part was that this organisms had a deformed shapes similar to a worm yet they had a leech like mouth.

Then with the his last remaining strength the dying Oto shinobi brought the pill down to his mouth and forced it down his throat.

GULP!

"MY HUNT WILL NOT END HERE! NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!" Kidōmaru then declared with pure insanity.

"!?" Both Hyuga cousins got out in shock as they witnessed their dying enemy swallowing something that gave them chills of pure fright.

However before anyone could do or say anything else. . .

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Suddenly, the dying Oto shinobi started laughing with pure madness as he started convulsing in a spastic manner while his body began to move around like a rag doll.

Not liking where this was going, the older Hyuga turned towards his cousin. "Hinata-sama. . ." Neji got out as he winced in pain. "We. . .need to move. . .now. . ." He then declared with urgency in his voice.

"H-Hai. . ." Hinata could barely got out as fear began to fill her being at watching this. "What. . .is this. . .?" She meanwhile thought.

However before they could even attempt to move. . .

Kidōmaru's body then suddenly stopped moving as his eyes suddenly bled and completely became black, then his webbing literally began to leak out from all the pores from his body as the black light cover him and a wave of chakra expanded across the area.

---

At the same time as the other battles. . .

The two Konoha shinobis, ninja hound and the Suna kunoichi knew that the battle was over now as the two boys were panting heavily as the three then went to where the body of their enemy was.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Then all of the shinobi's and the puppy stopped when they heard loud female coughing, causing them remain on guard as the turned towards the location of the Oto kunoichi being pinned down by the many bases of trees and saw that she was barely alive while her arms twitched slightly while her Curse Mark had already receded.

"D-Dammit. . ." Tayuya struggled out as she couldn't even move her body from the many trees on her. "Can't. . .fuckin'. . .move. . ." She then added and all she could do was looked at the sky.

This caused everyone present to lowered their guards as they knew she wouldn't be able to fight even if she tried.

Kiba meanwhile frown sadly as he looked at the trapped female. "It's over. . .it's better if you just stop resisting. . ." He got out with a slight depressed tone while Akamaru whined sadly in agreement.

Surprisingly Tayuya in response to this didn't curse or shout, instead she began chuckling dryly. "Well. . .This was complete bullshit. . . ." She declared with a defeated tone.

The Suna Kunoichi then closed her fan and placed it on her back. "Just give it up already. . ." Temari then stated as she closed her face.

The Nara meanwhile was concentrating on readjusting his broken finger as he winced in pain from it. "Troublesome. . ." Shikamaru muttered out.

Tayuya then coughed up some blood out of her mouth. "Well this sucks. . .Nothing I ever do or decide ever goes as I fucking' like. . ." She then revealed as she struggled to get something out of her pocket. ". . .fuckin' Orochimaru. . .Kabuto. . .even that little bitch Haruno. . ." She muttered.

The young Inuzuka soon saw this and growled in frustration. "Hey! Just stop it already! It's over dammit!" Kiba declared in anger.

"ARF ARF!" Akamaru barked in complete agreement as he didn't want to hurt the girl anymore.

As this was declared, Shikamaru frowned at this as he got a pretty good idea what was going on his friend's mind. "Kiba. . ." He meanwhile muttered.

Temari on the other hand sighed as she witnessed this. ". . ." She said nothing as she also knew what was going through the boy's mind and decided to let it be.

Tayuya then breathed heavily as she took what appeared to be a black glowing pill. "You know what. . .fuck it all. . ." She soon got out as she stared at the pill with a defeated tone. "I rather die by that crazy bitch's insane experiments than let Kimimaro or worse, fucking Orochimaru gets their hands on me for failing. . ." She declared as she forced the pill into her mouth.

GULP!

When Kiba heard this, he instantly knew that whatever that pill was it killed her. "What did you just swallow!?' He questioned in a panicked tone while Akamaru lowered his head in fear.

The Inuzuka's comrades then began to be concerned by this as they were on guard once more.

Tayuya's eyes then widen as they suddenly turned light orange before starting to breathe again. "You assholes are fucked now. . ." She got out in a raspy tone as her breathing started to become heavier.

Kiba's eyes then widen to that. "What the hell did you just swallow!?" He once questioned. While Akamaru could only whine in fear at what this could mean for the girl.

The Oto kunoichi simply chuckled with a dark yet sad tone. "Hehe. . .What I just took was something so sick and twisted that even the Curse Mark I was forced to have is a much better way to go than whatever this will do to me in the end. . ." She revealed as her breathing became faster and heavier while sweat began to run down her face and smoke started to come out of her body.

"!?" This instantly caused all of the two boys, the puppy and girl to widen in complete bafflement. Something worse that the Curse Mark? That brought pure terror down their spines.

"Then why the hell would you take it!?" Kiba asked with urgency, concern and fear to what will become of the girl.

"ARF ARF!" Akamaru barked while thinking and feeling the same as his partner.

And once more, Tayuya simply chuckled dryly once more, but only this time with more depression. "Because. . .I've had enough living as a slave. . .and I rather die by it than die by those two assholes that controlled my fuckin' life Kiba. . ." She answered in a slightly sadden tone as a single tear ran down one of her eyes.

Kiba's eyes widen in pure terror as he couldn't stand it anymore. "Tayuya!" He roared as he and Akamaru started running towards her.

The Nara's eyes then widen to this. "Shit! Kiba!" Shikamaru cursed as he then readied the his hands for his jutsu. "Shadow Possession Jutsu!" He then instantly declared as he try to stop the enemy with his shadow.

The Suna kunoichi reopened her fan as then pulled back it as she began channeling her wind chakra. "Damn! Stop her!" She declared as she ready her jutsu.

However, all attempts to stop the the kunoichi were too late as the girl loudly wailed in pain and the black light engulfed her while a wave of chakra forced the trees off her and the three to get blown back off their feet. . .

---

At the large open plain. . .

Both sand and bone continued to clashed as Kimimaro continued to ran around the red haired boy while shooting his finger like bones. However like last time it was stopped by the powerful sand barrier.

Kimimaro frowned as he stopped running seeing that this tactic wasn't working, but before he could do anything else. . .

FWOOSH!

Gaara soon sent his sand towards the Oto shinobi at increased speeds. But they weren't fast enough for the white haired boy as he easily dodge them without any difficulty.

The green clad shinobi then weakly tried to stand up. "Gaara-kun, do you need some assistance?" Lee then questioned before wincing in pain.

Naruto then grabbed his friend's shoulder while preventing him from moving. "Oi Lee, I don't think you in any shape to fight right now." He simply stated.

Lee could only looked down and nodded as he knew his friend was right.

The blond let out a sigh of relief as he then walked forward and stood beside his fellow jinchūriki. "So want to tag team?" Naruto asked as he bump his fists together while grinning widely.

Gaara however shook his head in a negative manner to the offer.

Naruto meanwhile didn't felt discouraged to that as he just continued grinning "Well. . .tough luck, because I'm not missing this chance to fighting side by side with a brother." He declared as he looked straight at said brother.

This made the red haired boy to closed his eyes and let out a small sigh, after a few moments Gaara reopen them as he turned to looked at the blond and gave him a small smile in return. Then both fellow Jinchuriki's turned and faced their open while they took their battle stances.

Kimimaro meanwhile narrowed his eyes further as he made more bones come out of his body.

However as they were about to start fighting. . .

FWOOOOOOSH!

A massive and strong gust of wind blew throughout the entire area followed by an intense pressure.

"Nani!?" Both Naruto and Lee got out as they were forced to blocked the intense pressure coming from the woods while Gaara simply used his sand to blocked it.

". . ." The dark and vile voice said nothing as it narrowed its eyes.

Kimimaro meanwhile was unphased by this as he narrowed his eyes at this. "So those fools decided to used her invention. . .good at least they were useful in the end. . ." He thought with complete uncaring of what could had happen to his former comrades fates while being unaffected by the wind that was blowing.

---

Above in the skies. . .

The skys were calmed and tranquil as many birds flew by as if nothing could go wrong.

FWOOOOOOSH!

However that quickly ended when three large pillars of black miasma shot through the sky one after another.

---

Back within Konoha. . .

The young members of the Viper Squad were walking through the marketplace. . .well, more so Yami while trying to prevent Nina and the O's trio from running wild again.

Ever since the members of Team Seven had left of the capture mission, Yami had felt it was her responsibility to take care of the house that she, Anko and Nina were staying in as a way to repay her friends while also distracting Nina from what happened to the Yamanaka heiress.

". . ." Yami got out as she had some bags of food in her hands while looking at her list. "Ok, next on the list of supplies is the vegetables followed by the meat for dinner. . ." She muttered.

"This was fun!" Nina happily cheered as she ran around the the slightly older girl while she held some bags of her own, but they were some of the more softer things.

"Meow~" Ora simply meowed with a purring in her tone. "Yes, it was fun and we really appreciate this." Was what the little white tiger meant.

"Tweet! Tweet!" Ori chirped out. "Appreciate! Appreciate!" The little red bird repeated happily.

"Arf! Arf!" Okki barked in agreement as she nuzzled next to the kunoichi/samurai's leg. "Yeah! Thanks a lot!" Was what she meant.

As if understanding what the little animals had to say, Nina simply smiled gently at them. However before she could say anything. . .

FWOOOOOOSH!

Suddenly a large and powerful gust of wind blew across all of Konoha. Many of the inhabitants of the shinobi village were slightly startled by the sudden burst of wind and were slightly startled and confused by it. However only those of Chunin rank and higher could feel that it held a sinister and vile power.

Yami being one of the ones that actually felt this was slightly shaken up as she lowered her arms. "What was that!?" She thought in concern. "Nina! Did you-?" She began to asked as she turned around.

However, when the snow haired girl turned around she saw Nina with eyes widen and nearly lifeless. ". . ." The young twelve year old said nothing while her body was slightly shivering.

Next to the little girl, the little black wolf had the exact same expression on her face. ". . ." Okki also said nothing.

"Meow Meow?" Ora meowed out with a concerned tone. "Nina-oneechan, Okki-oneechan? What is wrong?" Was what the little white tiger asked.

"Chirp Chirp?" Ori chirped out in confusion while moving her head from side to side. "Wrong? Wrong?" Was what the little red bird repeated.

"Nina?" Yami called out on concern before going over to her. "Is something wrong?" She then asked.

Then the little girl face turn into one of pure terror as she fell to the ground and grabbed her head in pain. "No. . ." She muttered out.

"Arf. . ." Okki got out with the same tone as Nina. "No. . ." Was what she said.

"Hmm?" Yami then got out in concerned confusion.

Nina then her eyes began to dilated as she continued to hold her head. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She shouted in pure horror and pain as tears suddenly began to run down her face.

"AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Okki then howled with the same horror and pain as her big sister.

"NINA-CHAN/ONEE-CHAN! OKKI!" Both Yami and Ora shouted in unison at this while Ori flapped her wings in startlement.

This in turn caused everyone in the marketplace to look at the girl and little wolf with concern.

Deep underground. . .

The white haired boy was inside of a secret and off limits room as he was monitoring the advancements the Project was progressing. Suddenly the medical shinobi felt the entire room shake as he felt the vile and sinister power.

Kabuto however wasn't neither affected or concern about it as his face gained a vile and amused smirk as he adjusted his glasses. "Looks like those three really did used those pills. . ." He muttered to himself.

The medical shinobi then began walking towards a bookshelf and pull out some files. In one of this files, there were multiple files that had the words test subjects numbers and viral type on them. However the most disturbing aspect were the images that were in the files, as each image looked as it they came from the deepest and most terrifying nightmares of a human's mind.

Kabuto then just chuckled as he closed the files and put it back where it belong. "I wonder how the pills will affect them? She did say that they vary among the user and that the end result could be completely unique from person to person, so it should be interesting. . ." He admitted in amusement. "Will they create a perfect bond with it. . .or will they destroy themselves from the its power?" He soon questioned in the same tone as the light shined off his glasses with the same vile smirk on his face.

Within a building surround by lava. . .

In the darkness vowels of the volcanoes chambers, there was a large open space that had many monitors, around the large space it had many jail cells.

However the inside this cells, no one couldn't be seen as it was to dark to see as from within those cells multiple glowing lights began to move in an eerie manner as large hissing and snarling could be hurt through the large room.

In the middle of the room was just one single person, their face couldn't be seen as the shadows blocked the face, however it was definitely a female from her voluptuous body. She also had a large white lab coat that cover most of her body, but left her large chest moderately exposed.

VRRRN!

"Hm~?" The female got out with an almost chiled like manner as she felt the tremors and then felt the vile pressure that came next.

This cause every single creature in the room to go completely wild and uncontrollable as they began to screech and roar with a monstrous way.

"Oooooh~ Looks like Orochimaru-sama's Sound Three got desperate to take my lovely creations~!" The female said with a childlike manner, however those that knew her could feel a vile and sinister glee in her cheshire like smile.

Then the female scientist then looked at the creatures in the cells as one tried to slash her face, but she didn't so much as flinch as she just flicked her long blonde hair back without a care. "I wonder what lovely pets they would turn into~?" She then asked with the child like tone as a blush began to appear on her face while bring her hands up to her cheeks. "Ooooooh~! The thought of what their faces will look in the end is making me leak~! Ooooooh~!" She moaned out in a sick form of pleasure.

---

Within the dark and deeper parts of the forest. . .

The enraged Uchiha was rushing through the trees with fury in her eyes as she was chasing the traitor. "Haruno!" She thought in anger as she rushed through the trees.

Satsuki continued running as quickly as she could be was forced to stop when she felt the intense and sinister pressure from behind.

FWOOOOOOSH!

"!?" Satsuki's eyes widen to that as she looked back for a moment in concern from feeling that pressure. "What the hell was that!?" She thought in confusion. ". . .I hope the others are alright. . ." She then muttered in concern.

"That doesn't matter now. . ." The dark and vile voice declared.

This time however, Satsuki somehow managed to hear the voice as she then turned towards the direction of the traitor. "Yeah. . .it really doesn't. . ." She simply agreed with her face regaining her previous fury.

The dark and vile voice soon chuckled evilly at this as it's dark intentions had finally reached one of the trio's minds. "Now, got and kill the traitor. . .and make her suffer. . ." It then got out in a tempting tone.

Satsuki then narrowed her eyes as her Sharingan unintentionally activated and mixed with the Bijū chakra flowing through her. "Oh I will. . ." She replied as she narrowed her eyes. ". . .who the hell are you though?" She then asked in a serious tone as she instantly noticed the change in voice of what should be the fox Bijū.

"Hehehe. . .does that really matter right now? Don't you have something more important you want to do right now, Uchiha?" The dark voice then asked with a vile and sinister tone.

". . ." Satsuki didn't say anything at first to that as she knew she was right about the voice change from the Bijū and from the question that was asked. ". . .We'll deal with you later. . ." She then decided with a serious tone.

With that declaration, the female Uchiha activated her Lighting Berserker Armor and charge at incredible speeds to catch the traitor as fast as she could. . .unaware that her canines had grown out a little.

"Hehahahahah. . ." The vile voice simply laugh with a twisted and derange laughter, but this time, its voice didn't reach the girl. "If you're still you by then. . ." It then mentally said to itself in a sick and twisted excitement.

JG (JGResidentEvil)'s A/N: What's up everyone! JGResidentEvil here with fight2protect with the new chapter of Uchiha Heiress Remix! And this time it was crazy five days before my birthday!

F2P (fight2protect)'s A/N: Hell yeah! Thought that this fights would end in the same as canon? Well. . .THINK AGAIN! *laughing maniacally while lighting cracks in the background*

JG: ^^" Yeah, F2P's happy to get done with chapter.

F2P: Well. . .who was the genius that wanted the last chapter and this one be one and the same? Which would make the chapter over 100 pages. . .AT LEAST. . . *obviously staring at JG*

JG: . . .Ok, you got me there. ^^" Moving on from that, time for Review Responses, this is my response from Nightshadegirl:

wow, the battles with the sound five are really hyping up a notch. hopefully satsuki can stop sakura in time.

Why thank you for the compliments, though as the end of this chapter shows, the battles are definitely not over nor will they be like canon in any way possible! All that happened to them was my own original idea! :D

F2P: While there were some similar instances of something similar happening in this arc, but we hope this will hype the fights even more! And boy will they end into epic conclusions! Now for my review from gamelover41592

okay this was beyond levels of awesome as always the fight scenes were amazing and Kiba trying to help Tanyua was great but it looks like the thing affecting Satsuki is also affecting Naruto as well can't wait to see what it is especially the duel between Satsuki and Sakura

Yup! Like we said before, the fights were intense, but we really like that most like the part of Kiba helping out Tayuya. But will he be able to? After all what happen at the end may complicate that. . .

JG: Try to guess what exactly is happening to Tayuya thanks to the pill she consumed with the hints, orange eyes and literal smoking boy. :3

F2P: Damn straight! But also I wanted to add that your probably the only one that has noticed that what affecting the Trio ISN'T because of the pervy Bijū we all know and love, so who or what could this thing be? From where did this thing came from? And why is it affecting not only the lovable pervert but the trio as well? Well. . .you'll find out. . .REALLY soon. *smiling evilly*

JG: Oh yeah! :3 Besides that, this chapter was crazy to do with everything that happened. The fights that occurred with the Suna Trio arrives!

F2P: But the first part of Drunken Lee and Naruto was hilarious! XD

JG: Oh yeah, that was great to write. . .though also difficult as well. ^^"

F2P: Not to me! That part was so fun to write! XD And afterwards we decided since we didn't let Lee had his epic scene on the exams, we decided to use it here! :) Though I don't think it would had the same impact as in canon. ^^"

JG: I still think it's good though, and made for good material. :)

F2P: Ok, now the Gaara part would be more or less like canon, but to those that payed close attention, you could feel that the air around the two jinchūriki's were different, and no not in a yaoi kind of way. . .I mean as in kindred spirit kind of way.

JG: Not to mention the hints for the changes for the past chapter to reveal some new. . .details for the crazed bloodthirsty Bijū.

F2P: Yeah, sorry about that, all the things happening here are a reflection to the remastered chapters so you'll have to reread them to make sense of them. Well that won't be a problem if your a new reader and read them all already though. ^^"

JG: I hear that! Which by the way, the remastered chapter for Chapter 25 is done and will soon be uploaded! Look for the new title Uzumaki vs Hyuga! Battle of Beliefs!

F2P: And to give you old readers some incentive, if you want to know how Shukaku's human form looks like it will be in that chapter. I know, we're assholes for not including it here. XD

JG: Things change as more ideas come to our minds. Let's just say Part Two will definitely be different with this as a result! And yes, this is gonna be getting a Part Two variation, but no Boruto variation.

F2P: Nothing against it, but we're not going to do it, because we're planning on ending it after the Part Two variation.

JG: But that's a long ways off, but feel free to think up of title ideas for our variation of Part Two. :D

F2P: Now continuing where we left off, we hope that you liked the fights and the interactions from the cast against the enemies, because we KNOW that your going to love the Kiba and Tayuya ones. XD

JG: XD Yeah, those two are gonna be going places!

F2P: IF they survive what to come that is. . .And while yes the end of the fights were more or less canon with Kankurō and Temari easily beating their opponents, BUT! Like we said that's where the canon shit ends. . . *smirks evilly*

JG: Oh yeah, now everything changes! Oh and what's this, why are the effects of the black energy explosions took affected F2P's cute little Nina along with Okki the wolf cub! What could this mean exactly?

F2P: Yes! The first hint of the wild girl's mysterious past has come!

JG: Who was that mysterious woman in the volcano base?

F2P: Who indeed!? And what were those things that nearly kill her!? Well. . .you'll just have to wait to find outt! :D

JG: Sorry, but we can't spoil everything! That would ruin the suspense! XD

F2P: And finally, to end this A/N. . .the time had finally come for us to reveal a long and dark secret that was long over do. . .

JG: Drum roll please~!

F2P: Yes. . .that question that had been in the minds of many readers. . .That they had long for. . .NAY! Desire to know! AND AS SUCH WE! WILL! ANSWER!

JG: *DADUM DADUM DADUM!* *Stops*

*Dramatical pause*

F2P: "Does Shukaku have a chibi form too?" And the answer is. . .YES! XD

*suddenly the door burst open* *Both JG and F2P turning around*

F2P: What the-?

*The two writers saw a pissed off chibi raccoon looking ready to murder someone*

Shukaku: FUCK YOU TWO! I'M GONNA BATHE WITH YOUR BLOOD! *Jumps at the two*

*suddenly sands come and entraps the Bijū as Gaara comes into the room

Gaara: Bad Bijū. . .

Shukaku: DAMMIT ALL! I'M STILL GOING TO GET YOU TWO! *as being pulled back by Gaara*

Gaara: My apologies. . . *He then leaves with a still cursing chibi raccoon*

F2P: Well at least nothing. . . WHAM! *Being hit by a sand ball in the lower region* Why. . .do I. . . even bother. . . *Asks in a squeaky voice as he falls down*

JG: *Blinks for a moment before fake coughing into his fist* Anyways. . .if you haven't figured it out by now, we're making all the Bijūs have a chibi form, though not exactly like the Killer Bee dream filler episodes since Chōmei isn't a larva like in those episodes. XD

F2P: *weakly raises index finger* Expect. . .more in. . .Part Two. . .

JG: Which will be another thing from the fans, feel free to come up with good ideas for the Human transformations from Matatabi, Son Goku, Kokuō, Saiken, and Gyūki!

F2P: The best ideas. . .will be taken into. . .consideration in their. . .creation. . .

JG: But besides that, it's time for us to go! There's still a lot we have to work on and we can't waste any time because next chapter. . .the changed Sound Three and Valley of the End fights will begin! :D

F2P: *weakly giving a thumbs up* Peace. . .out. . . *slowly lowering hand* And. . .happy. . .birthday. . .

THUD!

JG: . . .I better get some ice. And thanks!^^"
