i don't own NARUTO or any other anime

"I'm Ban, the Fox sin of Greed."

The man laughed.

"So, take some money for yourself. I have plenty." The man said. Ban's eyes narrowed.

"There are ladies who would gladly welcome your company yet you chose to assault two children who happen to be friends of mine. I don't like you." Ban said. The man laughed as Ban spoke.

"Listern, thise ladies are good but I want fresh meat. Boys, take these cretins out." The man said. A group of man attacked Tengen, Ban, and Gyutaro.

"Damn! We can't kill these guys." Tengen said. Ban was pulling his punches too.

"That scumbag is getting away from us with Ume and Nezuko. We have to hurry." Gyutaro said. Ban smiled.

"Well, I didn't come alone. Greasy is about to find out what exactly happens when you piss a woman off." Ban said. Tengen and Gyutaro looked him like he was crazy. Suddenly, the greasy man was flying backwards into the crowd. A girl with pigtails was standing there with Ume and Nezuko. The freasy man coughed blood.

"Well, looks like you met another friend of ours. Now that Diane has released the girls from your grip, I don't have to hold back." Ban said. The man coughed blood again.

"What are you going to do? Kill me?" the man said. Ban's eyes narrowed and a manically grin was on his face.

"No, but you will wish I had." Ban said. The man then felt very, very afraid. Ban's smile was terrifying. Ban grabbed the man by his hair.

"Now, we can have some fun. Thats what you are looking for right?" Ban said. Tengen and Gyutaro were on either side. The man pulled a knife and charged Ban. Ban grinned again as the knife slashed him. The man smiled until he saw the wound heal. Ban's eyes became cold.

"So you can heal. I'll pay yo nto be my bodyguard. All the wine and women you want. Gold aplenty." The man said. Ban's eyes got colder.

"I have all that I want right now. I hate scum like you." Ban said his voice dripping venom.

"Please don't kill me." The man said

"I'm not going to kill you. I'm going to teach you how real men treat ladies." Ban said. He jumped on the man and begin to beat him. Ban was holding back his punches and missing vital areas. The other men had been beat to pulp by Tengen and Gyutaro. The man was screaming for mercy. Ban's fist connected with his face one last time.

"Remember, if you ever do anything illegal again, I will finish the job." Ban said, his eyes glowing. The man nodded his understanding as he lay in the mud. Ban stood up and walked to the others.

"Ban, that man needs to be castrated." Diane said.

"Ban hurt him worse than that, didn't you?" Tengen said.

"Yep, I hurt his pride. You guys ok?" Ban asked.

"Yes, we are fine." Ume said. The group began to gather the items they needed from the ahop. Suddenly, a small explosion rocked the village.

"Diane, take the girls back to the boar hat. Tell Captain what is going on." Ban said. Diane scowled.

"Diane, you are the only one who can go get backup. And the sun is about to come out over there and I do not want to face a furious Tanjiro." Ban said. Duane grabbed the girls and hurried to the boar hat. Ban and the others ran to the sight if the explosion. Rubbke was everywhere. People screaming and fleeing. A monster was in the middle of the village laughing. The group stopped.

"What the hell is that?" Ban said. Tengen had his blades out as did Gyutaro. The monster came closer.

"Meat, need meat. Human meat!" The monster said. Ban, Tengen, and Gyutaro were ready to fight it when it called more monsters.

"Damn!" Ban said as twenty small monsters stood in front of them. The monsters charged the group.

"Rose Whip!"

"Spirit Shotgun!"

Two voices cried out. Ten monsters fell to pieces. Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara ran up.

"What the hell is that thing?" Yusuke asked.

"Cannibal monster. Wants human flesh." Gyutaro said.

"Muzan's creation?" Kurama asked.

"No, this is an experiment by someone. Muzan's creations can't live in the sunlight." Gyutaro said. Yusuke was furious.

"People need to stop playing with others lives." Yusuke said as the monster created more if the little monsters.

"KILL THEM!!" The large monster said. The small monsters attacked again allowing the big monster to power up.

"Take this!" The monster said launching an orb of power at the group. The group couldn't avoid the attack. Another voice called out.

"FULL COUNTER!"

West Camp

Genkai looked at the spears that were in Nagato's back. They were hooked to his spirit energy and his mortal body. It would take very careful hands to remove them all.

"First, we need to get these unattached from Hanzo spiritually. That will give us time to work and then Hanzo can be questioned. I can release the spirit bonds but it will hurt." Genkai said. Nagato lookked at her.

"I don't mind the pain if it means I get my freedom and body back." Nagato said. Genkai looked at him.

"It won't hurt you body much but it will feel like a tearing sensation. It would be best if you were unconscious." Genkai said. Nagato smiled.

"Yes, I see." Nagato said. Genkai and Tsunade walked out of the med tent.

"So, how long before we can remove those things?" Tsunade asked. Genkai looked at her.

"The sooner the better. I can start removing them in an hour. Then you will be able to physical remove them." Genkai said. Tsunade nodded and went to tell Blackjack to be ready. Genkai walked over to Ryska and Kushina who were talking with a man with silver white hair and a blindfold over his eyes. Genkai smiled at that

"So, you're the one questioning Hanzo, Gojo?" Genkai asked. Gojo turned around and smiled.

"Yep, Genkai. Can you remove the spears?" Gojo asked. Genkai nodded.

"Yes, who would have thought that a cursed object has being used. Hanzo has some explaining to about that. Genkai said. Ryska looked shocked.

"Cursed Object?" Ryska asked

"Like Cursed Spirits. These spears were charged with dark energy that allows the users to control the wearer. Hanzo wasn't using chakra until they were in." Gojo said.

"So, someone else was pulling Hanzo's strings. We need to see if we can find that out." Ryska said. She had thought of that. Whoever is pulling the strings here is trying to control the tailed beasts. Ryska thought. Kahani and Demi were conversing when a feeling came over Ryska. She quickly hurried to Demi.

"Where are the others?" Ryska asked.

"Naruto is still out and the others are training in near the river. Toguro is with them. Why?" Demi asked. Ryska spoke.

"Something's off. Everyone here is safe but..." Ryska said. Suddenly, she tossed a knife in the air.

"You missed." a lazy voice said. Ryska smiled.

"Wasn't trying to hit you, King." Ryska said. King floated down. He handed Ryska her knife.

"Ban and Diane went into town. The others are coming up the road." King said. Ryska smiled.

"Did Merlin come with you?" Ryska asked.

"Yeah. Everyone came." King said.

"Good. Ask her to come here. I have something i want her to look into." Ryska said. King looked bored.

"Ok." King said. Gojo walked up.

"Hey, King. Where's everyone else?" Gojo asked.

"At the boar hat. Ryska wants Merlin and if you're here that means she's found something interesting." King said. Gojo smiled.

"Yeah you can say that. I'm waiting for the medics to get done with something then I'm going to show a piece of scum what happens when you mess with powers beyond your understanding." Gojo said, his voice cold. King perked up.

"So, someone has been messing in cursed objects? Merlin sensed that there was cursed magic around." King said.

"You sensed it too. Thats why you came ahead." Demi said.

"Yeah. It doesn't make sense. Cursed magic does not work over the wall as well as it does on the other side if the wall." King said.

"That's because the user and victim of the cursed magic is here." Ryska said.

"Thats why Merlin sensed it. So the victim is the one needing the items removed. The cursed object must be tied to body and spirit. Hm?" King said as he saw smoke rise from the village.

"It seems there is some trouble in the village. Do you want to go?" Demi asked.

"No. Tengen and the others are there. Besides, I have a feeling that we are going to have company very soon." Ryska said. Demi nodded.

"I'll go. I have to help Diane gather some things. I'll see you this evening." King said, flying away. Ryska looked down the road towards the East. Her senses were on alert.

"Demi, tell everyone to be on guard. Something is coming." Ryska said. Demi nodded and flew off to warn the group training. Kahani and Erik walked up.

"Queen?" Erik said.

"Be on guard. The nins parents are on the way here. They will have those behind them that will cause trouble." Ryksa said.

"Yes, Queen, I'll stick with you." Erik said.

"No, Erik, Naruto is still unconscious. He will need to be guarded. Kahani will scout ahead. You will remain here.on guard. Tsunade and Genkai will be here as well as Nagato. Gojo can protect them but I prefer to have more than one." Ryska said.

"Very well, Queen." Erik said. Ryska sighed.

"Erik, they can't defend themselves and Kushina will be here as well. Jack is guarding the others coming here." Ryska said.

"You think they are going to do two attacks?" Kahani asked.

"Yes. I think that one will be a draw off and the other the main attack." Ryska said. Erik understood then.

"Of course, my Queen. A split defense and offense attack." Erik said.

"Exactly." Ryska said as she watched the woods. We have to be prepared. Ryska thought. She watched the smoke from the village rise up. Suddenly, a kunai came out of nowhere. The ROOT nin had somehow gotten loose and was attacking. Ryska dodged the kunai easily. She glared at him.

"I'll kill you and take your body back to my master!" The nin said. Ryska smiled, a chilling smile.

"Kill me? I don't think so." Ryska said. The ROOT nin charged at her.

"EARTH JUSTU: EARTH PRISON." The nin said. Ryska jumped in the air and landed away firm the attack.

"Forbidden Justu: Sleeping acid." Ryska said blowing out a gas from her mouth. The nin was caught up in the sleeping gas. He coughed as he tried to breathe. He fell asleep but Ryska jumped away from the nin as more nins landed. One jumped up behind her but was stopped by Demi who flew low and grabbed him. The nins charged at Ryska but she flipped away to reveal a woman wear a black coat with golden eyes standing there.

"My, my. It seems these men have no manners. Do you need any alive?" The woman said. Ryska answered.

"Leave one alive." Ryska said.

"Who are you bitch?" one nin scoffed.

"I am Merlin the boar sin of Gluttony and you are my new test subjects."

Fire Country

The Konoha group were double timing the run as they knew hunters were after them.

"Well, well. Look at this. Missing leaf nins. I guess the Iwa nins will pay well for a bloodline." A hunter said. Hiashi and the others looked for a way out without fighting. The hunters group doubled in size. They began to laugh. The group was ready to fight until they saw a fire shadow land in front of them.

"You want them you have to go through me." The man said. The clan heads knew that voice.

"But you died?" Hiashi said.

"Long story." the shadow said.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Minato Namikaze, the Yellow flash."
