Hello and welcome back, I'm sorry about last time but here we are with more of Naruto and Satsuki definitely not being friends and definitely not finding a sense of normalcy and companionship in one another.

Hope you all had a good x-mas too and will have a good new year.

So I hope you're all enjoying this little original arc pre chunin exams. We may have another filler chapter after this before exams but it depends how long this arc goes on, may finish it this chapter, may not, idk it's definitely more of a mini arc I'd say.

Also we broke 100 followers on ff so that's great and we are close with favs too, glad so many of you are enjoying.

So without further ado, let us begin

At the campsite trap

Well…he wanted an easy mission not like the Wave mission and what do you know the universe spat in his face, but Kakashi was quite used to dealing with its crap by now, it's why he kept two clones in the trees as a reserve in case anything bad happened.

They had sprung into action as soon as the 'bandits' were revealed to be mud clones and they were currently creating a human chain of clone, clone, real Kakashi and unconscious Sakura. Luckily her wounds from the blast were minor but she was currently unconscious and while she'd definitely live, she had a sharp stone shard going through her right arm. It was definitely treatable but she wouldn't be using it for the rest of this mission. Sadly he had his own wound, while his clones had stopped him being impaled on the stone spikes they hadn't stopped it some doing damage, as one had slashed his side, while it wasn't too bad and didn't get anything important, it hurt and he was losing blood.

"Alright boys, get us out of here." The original said to his two clones. They nodded and the clone that had stuck them to the walls of the pit channeled chakra into his arms and flung them into the air, one clone grabbed Sakura and the other grabbed Kakashi and set them both down.

"Thanks, one of you use the last of your chakra to get Tamba out here." Kakashi said as the clone he had done the throw and was thus lower on chakra summoned the white medic dog.

"*borf*" Tanba 'said' as he appeared, he saw the state his summoner and his student was in, instantly licking their wounds and bandaging them with the help of the clones, and getting some painkillers from his pouch and passing them to Kakashi.

"Two every eight hours right?" Kakashi asked just to make sure as he brought them close to his mouth.

"*bork*" Tanba affirmed as Kakashi downed the pills, awaiting the effects to kick in.

"Thanks buddy, you can go back now, I'll need Pakkun for this." Kakashi said as Tanba dismissed himself and the second clone expended its chakra summoning Pakkun.

"Hey what's up Kakashi? Oh crap! You alright boss?" The little brown tracker dog said as he appeared in a poof of smoke.

"I've had worse, Tanba helped us out, listen, whoever did this took Naruto I think, I need him tracked, you still remember their scents?" Kakashi asked him, he had gone ahead and taught Pakkun Naruto, Satsuki and Sakura's scents just for an eventuality like this.

"I'll find the trail, you get back on your feet." Pakkun said as he started to sniff around as Kakashi lay there for a while, soon the painkillers started to kick in and he definitely felt better, he just laid there against the tree, damn Tanba gave him some strong stuff but he needed it. Maybe he could just rest for.. a…while…zzz

Unknown location

When Satsuki awoke her mind was an utter haze, like when you wake early and are drifting in and out of sleep so nothing is clear.

Eventually she could focus enough to see a stone wall in front of her, it was dark and there was just a small bit of torchlight outside, she tried to move only to find her arms and legs were bound.

That instantly got her adrenaline pumping and mind focused. It was all so fuzzy but she thought…the tea! She remembered having tea, damn it she'd fallen for such a simple trick, spiking her drink.

It was very clear the enemy had been undersold to them, these weren't normal bandits, it was clear that old man Gonjo was involved, either he was a member of this group or worse, they had shinobi in their ranks and 'Gonjo' was someone using a transformation and a good one too, not even Kakashi saw through it, but she knew someone would come save her if she didn't do it herself, if not Kakashi then…Naruto would right?

But first things first, get out of her herself, however that seemingly would not be easy, she finally managed to make out the writing on her cuffs, seals, she tested her theory and tried to mold chakra and it was no good, she could barely muster any kind of chakra, it was clear these seals inhibited her abilities as a ninja and confirmed her theory that whoever had gotten to her were pros which spelled something very, very bad.

"Is anybody there?" She asked outside the cell, the thick iron bars not letting in which light or sound.

She could hear something that she thought were footsteps and with a loud *clunk*. The door opened and a figure entered.

It was a middle aged man with an average appearance, brown hair, brown eyes and a dull beige outfit consisting of a jacket with many pockets and a mesh shirt underneath and shorts with many pockets with shinobi sandals. But by far the most noticeable feature was the slashed stone headband on his hip and the fact that his right arm and hand seemed to be made of rock, it didn't look like stone just covered his arm but was the arm, the hand also formed a slightly clawed shape instead of a normal hand.

"Well well well, little miss sleeping beauty is finally awake, comfortable?" The man asked mockingly, clearly having too much fun with this, a slightly unhinged look in his eye.

"Who the hell are you and what do you want?!" Satsuki spat harshly, no mood to play games, thinking through everything, she had to get free of these cuffs somehow.

"Ah, allow me to introduce myself. I, little miss Uchiha am Dogeki Gekai and you are me, my brother and my crew's ticket to the good life." The now-named Dogeki answered mockingly.

"What the hell does that mean?!" She asked,this was getting worse, they knew who she was or at least what clan she was from and wanted something from her, while her pride as an Uchiha would never falter flaunting her status as a member of an almost dead clan especially on the clothing she always wore may have a few downsides to say the least.

"Ah well that's a long story. Many different people see other people differently, some see others as equal, others think they are greater or lesser, others think humans are shit, me and my bro however? People are products, that's the real truth, everything in this world has a price and people are priced high." Dogeki said sinisterly, revealing the true nature of why they captured her.

They were slavers. And for someone like her? Who was not only female but had very valuable genetics, it was beyond the worse case scenario.

"Y-you wouldn't dare!" She shouted, her brave face faltering at the reality that she had been captured by slavers and worse at that, slavers with shinobi skills, and not amateur ones, a jutsu like that right arm of his wasn't basic or easy stuff.

"Oh no no no my dear, please don't misunderstand we deliver our product in premium condition Gekai guarantee. What happens after you're in the hands of our very wealthy customers however…well that's his business." Dogeki said sinisterly, grabbing her chin and bringing their faces close so Satsuki could see the sadism in his eyes at the idea of selling her off like meat.

She jerked her chin out of his grasp, glaring at him.

"If you think I'll just sit here and let you sell me like a chunk of meat, you're wrong." Satsuki said, sending one of the harshest death glares.

"Oh noooooo whatever shall I do? The scary little girl with sealed chakra is going to defeat me." Dogeki mocked sarcastically before his stone hand moved at great speed to wrap around her throat and squeeze, not cutting off her air completely but enough to cause pain.

"Listen here you little shit! Me and my brother have grown up in the filth and crap while little fuckin' princess like you have a nice big clan to baby you and keep you safe and I don't give two semblances of a shit if they're all gone now! So shut the fuck up and sit here like a good little bit of premium product and wait until we get a nice little bidding war going over the last female Uchiha!" Dogeki shouted straight to her face and then released her before he started to bruise her.

He left and bolted her cell shut leaving Satsuki in the dark and silence yet again.

She brought her hands to her mouth to stifle her cries. She was honestly, truly afraid of this madman having a hold over her and the fact that he was going to sell her like a thing to the highest bidder for profit and for fun.

"Anyone…Naruto please help." She thought as her eyes stung from the tears, unable to do anything with these damnable cuffs, if she got out of them, she'd definitely teach that Dogeki bastard not to insult the Uchiha.

With Naruto

*pained groan* Naruto awoke in a similar predicament, he was chained with metal shackles on both his arms and legs but they had no markings yet even still with his injuries he could barely move or had the strength to mold chakra.

"So…the extra is awake." A soft male voice said as a lone figure stood against the stone wall.

"Honestly I'm surprised you awoke so quickly, you may be worth something after all, product." The figure said as he walked into view. It was a lanky man with ocean blue hair covering one eye with the other being unobstructed and a similar ocean blue to his hair. He wore a loose kimono that showed some of his chest, some parts of the left side of his body were shown and it looked…warped, almost. He had ninja sandals and the most intriguing thing about the man was his left arm was made of water, a flowing mass affixed to his body that didn't look any different from a normal arm.

"*pained groan* Who the hell are you?" Naruto asked weakly, feeling some internal damage, his ribs were probably not in a good way, the last thing he remembered…the blast!

"And what about Kakashi-sensei and Sakura huh?" Naruto asked him loudly, struggling against his cuffs.

Only for the man to backhand him with his normal hand.

"You will speak only when spoken to, product. Is that understood?" The man said sternly as Naruto looked up into his eyes, spitting out some blood.

"Sorry, didn't catch that? Maybe you answer my questions and I'll consider listening." Naruto said smugly as he stared down the man, who's gaze hardened at his act of rebellion.

He then got a harsh kick to the gut for his actions making Naruto cough up more blood.

"Listen well worm, my name is Suigeki Gekai and I own you now, understand, now I won't damage you too much, while male product is less valuable and my clients don't mind if they have a few marks they do care if I break you beforehand, so I'd behave if I were you." The now named Suigeki said before launching a knee into Naruto's face, breaking his nose.

"What the hell do you mean by product?" Naruto asked while panting, in a lot of pain right now.

"Simple, some people sell sake or ninja tools or all manner of goods. I sell people, because in this world. Everything is for sale." Suigeki said almost rapturously, like he was telling him the great truth of the world.

"Y-you sell people?!" Naruto yelled in shock.

"Indeed, and honestly I'm quite thankful to you leaf ninja, we took over this quiet town to stock up on merchandise but before we made an example of that old man he sent off a request for ninja to look into the missing people so I had to assume his identity. But what I prize we found, the last Uchiha aside from the legendary rogue ninja Itachi Uchiha, she'll fetch us quite a price, we are known to specialize in people of unique genetic disposition." Suigeki answered sadistically, clearly mocking Naruto with his words.

"Don't *pant* you dare hurt Satsuki!" Naruto shouted with what energy he could muster.

"Oh don't you worry, she'll be delivered in pristine condition, we pride ourselves on the quality of our merchandise, you however seem to have some willpower, I know a few fight ring owners who will pay me a decent sum for a green shinobi." Suigeki mocked again, roughly grabbing Naruto's hair and lifting his face up to stare at it cruelly.

"Now I believe I told you no TALKING!" Suigeki yelled as his water arm gave him a cruel left hook, you'd think an arm made of water wouldn't punch well but it's form and structural integrity was maintained by chakra so it didn't shift at all on contact, the blow sent Naruto into unconsciousness.

But within his deep subconsciousness, his anger at his and mainly Satsuki's capture and the desperation awoke something with him yet again, and in the darkness a red eye opened and cracked a small demonic smirk.

In the dark, steam rolled off Naruto's body and his wounds began to heal.

Back with Kakashi

Kakashi awoke with a groan.

"Damn, shouldn't have fallen asleep like that." He muttered to himself looking over to see Sakura was still asleep.

"Well you needed the rest, give your body some time to get a bit better. I've still got the trail not to worry." Pakkun said sitting in front of him, having watched over his body while he slept.

"I want to let her rest but I better wake Sakura up, hopefully the painkillers I gave her while she was sleeping help with her arm." Kakashi said as he gently shook Sakura awake.

"Wha? Kakashi-sensei? What happ- *wince of pain*." Sakura spoke as he awoke groggy before she was instantly awake as a surge of pain came from her right arm, she looked to see the heavy bandaging on that arm and the slight bandaging on the rest of her body.

"Easy, you got hit, you're lucky you came out relatively unscathed, could have been a lot worse, there's no permanent damage." Kakashi spoke to her gently.

"What happened to Naruto?" She asked as she sat up against the tree, wincing slightly as she did.

"Enemy took him. No idea why but it's clear that trap was made by a ninja and that spiked stone pit with earth style, definitely enemy ninja, no idea if it's rogue's or not yet." Pakkun added.

.

.

.

"Did that dog just talk or am I delirious?" Sakura asked, pointing at Pakkun with her good arm dumbly.

"I'm a summon animal, we have greater intelligence then just a normal dog. Names Pakkun nice ta meet ya." Pakkun said lifting up right paw for a 'shake' which Sakura did so.

"So that's the plan sensei?" Sakura asked the jonin who's brows hardened in thought.

"First thing is we need to get back to the village, if only to confirm my worst fears, then I'll track down Naruto with Pakkun, I'd bring you with me but this calls for maximum stealth if they are enemy ninja." Kakashi spoke seriously.

"What worst fear sensei?" Sakura asked as Kakashi unveiled his Sharingan.

"That they also have Satsuki." He said, his gaze hard, he'd been unprepared and sloppy and now Naruto and Satsuki were in enemy hands. So no more half measures.

They quickly rushed back to the inn or as fast as Sakura and Kakashi could move with their wounds.

His fears were confirmed when Satsuki was nowhere to be found but with his Sharingan he caught something in the corner of his eye and he instantly struck.

He was about to strike, when the sight of the terrified woman who had greeted them.

"P-p-please don't hurt me, I'm so sorry." Minami said while crying, causing her makeup to run.

Kakashi released her but still held the kunai he also plunged into her body just in case.

"Talk." Kakashi said coldly, in no mood for games.

"I-I I'm sorry, they made me, they showed up just after grandfather made the request, they said they had been the ones who took everyone, they murdered my grandfather right there and took many more people including my mother, one of them used some ninja power to look like my grandpa and made he wear thus kimono and act like everything is normal until a team of ninja arrived and they lead them into that trap. They also made me put something in your friends tea, I don't know where they took them. Please don't kill me!" Minami ranted a bit too quickly, it's clear she was terrified and worried that Kakashi would kill her for doing what she did even though she was doing so under duress.

"Calm down! We aren't going to kill you?! Just breathe deeply and I'll make us some tea, Kakashi sensei. Please go bring Satsuki and Naruto back." Sakura said her gaze hard too, acting brave in the face of this, she knew if she went up against other trained ninja she'd only be in her sensei's way, it was better she handle things here and let him do what he did best.

"Sakura…it seems Naruto and Satsuki are not the only two growing. Please stay here and help the villages however you can, maybe gather everyone here but watch out, we don't know if they have anyone here under a transformation." Kakshsi said, smiling under his mask, seeing that she was growing up too.

He dashed off with Pakkun as Sakura sat down with the crying Minami and tried to console her that her sensei would save her mother and the rest of the village while they drank some tea.

Eventually Pakkun lead him to an opening in the earth, with his Sharingan he could see the earth that made up the opening had traces of chakra, definitely made by earth style, it was risky to go in like this but he didn't have time, he should be able to see any traps and react too them with his Sharingan.

He quickly moved into the opening and attached himself to the roof of the shinobi made cave with Pakkun doing the same. He started to quietly crawl through the cave system that seemed to run right beneath the village. It explains how they can so easily kidnap people and leave no trace, just come right out of the earth and grab people.

He found a group of three sitting around a table playing cards, it seems by the empty two bottles they'd been partaking in some Sake, luckily it made them quite loose lipped.

"Man, I really wanna try out some of the girls we got here, there's this green haired milf who looks like a good time." One of them crudely said as he slurred his words and raised the pot.

"Listen I get ya man but if the bosses find out you tainted some of the goods they'll kill ya. Call." His buddy said back, calling his raise.

"It's bullshit man, we mind all the product and we don't get a taste, bloody unfair." the third one backed the first thug up.

"Listen, I've been here longer then you boys. Knew this guy who had a go of some premium product, seventeen, virgin and tits for fuckin' days alright, our usuals would have paid a pretty ryo for her but him? Takes her all to himself and slaps her around a bit and even knocks her up probably. And what do the bosses do? They rip the dudes nuts off and feed them to him along with god knows what else, in the end they sold the pieces left to those fight arena cunts with the animals who need human flesh to get their beasts used to the taste. No piece of pussy we will ever get is worth what they'll do to you. Or just save up yourself and buy her from them. Point is don't mess with the product. Now read 'em and weep boys." The second thug with the sense said as he laid down a full house, winning the pot causing his other friends to groan.

This was way worse then what Kakashi thought, these bastards were slavers and of the worst kind, he needed to get Naruto and Satsuki out of here, Naruto may be fine as they'd just treat him as another person to sell but if these people in charge were ninja? And if they knew what the symbol on Satsuki's clothing meant she'd be their golden ticket, and he'd die one hundred times over before he let that happen.

Springing into action Kakashi threw one kunai into the throat of one thug and before their alcohol-addled brains could catch up he dropped down and shoved two kunai into one's throat, he then grabbed the other one, stabbing one of his hands into the wall with a kunai and covering his mouth with the other so he could not scream.

"You're gonna tell me everything if you don't want to end up like that friend of yours." Kakashi said menacingly, his red left eye instilling a lot of fear.

With Naruto in his cell

When Naruto awoke he could barely think, he was so angry, he could barely hold on to his thoughts, was this…was this what it was like with Haku, it. Felt…nice. He easily tore off the shackles restraining him as they weren't imbued with any kind of fuinjutsu.

With his body totally healed from the power running through him he could move with ease.

"Satsuki." He muttered, they had her, somewhere here, his friend, who had already suffered more then enough and the thought of that fuck Suigeki selling her, to sell her, like some kind of thing. How dare they! HOW DARE THEY! With barely a fraction of the might of the kyuubi no kitsune running through his chakra network he unleashed a punch into the metal door, it didn't break right through but it made a solid fist shaped dent. He then hit it again and again.

The thug kept outside of his room grabbed his sword at the noise and went to see what the captive was doing only to see the solid metal door being dented in by a child before he could react with a roar Naruto kicked in the door, launching it off his hinges making it crash into the guard slamming him into the wall, breaking many bones and causing no small amount of internal bleeding.

"Gotta find her." Naruto said almost primarily, not really in control of himself at this moment.

What happened was Naruto running through the halls blindly, he didn't encounter much resistance, a few untrained thugs with some basic weapons, not ninja like that Suigeki bastard.

Upon encountering a group he ran at them with a roar as they flinched, he grabbed ones arm and broke it with a sickening *snap* and he let out a scream, Naruto wasn't finished as he threw the man at the rest of the four man group he tumbled into them knocking them down. He grabbed the heads of two more and smashed them into the ground and punched one of then incredibly hard in the face.

As he stood over them he saw the blank look in the eyes of the two men whose heads he'd smashed into the earth. They weren't unconscious, he'd smashed their skulls, blood was pooling from the backs of their heads.

In an instant the red vanished from Naruto's eyes and his own vision cleared.

Naruto just stared dumbstruck…he'd killed two people, they were dead and gone, not unconscious or beaten within an inch of their lives like Mizuki. Dead…he stared dumbly for a few seconds before he threw up, bile and half digested food spilling over the bodies.

"Oh God, oh shit." Naruto said to himself as he paced slightly. He knew that ninja did kill people, Haku had said he wasn't a proper shinobi as he didn't like to kill but was he the same? He thought about how he sacrificed his personal happiness for Zabuza. He supposed it was somewhat similar, he was doing this to save Satsuki…that's right Satsuki! She was still here, he needed to save her, and if he had to fight his way through these bastards to save her, so be it. Besides, these guys were slavers, he supposed nobody would miss them much.

He ran off, pushing back his disgust with himself as he searched for Satsuki.

With Satsuki

As she couldn't break out of her bonds and her fear of being sold off as a slave had just become a slight nagging anxiety in the back of her head and not a full blown panic attack she got to work on getting out of here. She tried to listen, while she definitely wouldn't be able to outfox another shinobi like Dogeki in this state they must have had help, they may be sloppy and she could potentially use that.

As she tried to listen for anything she could use she heard a commotion.

"Hurry up and get the girl out of here. Something is tearing up the base. If we lose the big payday it'll be our ass." a voice said as the bolt unlocked and a grubby slightly overweight man came in and pulled on a chain near the door to lift her up so she was hanging by her arms.

"Listen here kunoichi cunt, try anything funny and it won't end well for you. Ya got it?" He said, she nodded at him, just waiting for her moment.

As he undid her leg shackles she struck, she mustered her strength, finding it much easier to channel chakra into her legs, she wrapped them around the man's head in a lock and started to squeeze, cutting off his airways, he started to struggle and and scrape at her legs and making gasping noises, she needed him to shut up in one moment of no thoughts and just action…

.

.

.

*snap*

With a quick jerk Satsuki broke the slavers neck making him go limp in her grasp, deciding to ponder on the gravity of her first kill later she quickly got one of her feet out of its sandal and with surprising dexterity managed to pick up the keys and lifted her leg up and undo the shackles on one of her hands allowing her to unlock the other with her now free hand.

Dropping to the ground and putting her sandal back on she caught her breath and finally properly looked at the man she just killed. She supposed she should feel bad? But these men, if she could even call these swine men, enslaved and kidnapped purely for handfuls of ryo, so while she felt bile rising in her throat she swallowed and pushed it down, there was no merit to crying over the loss of people like this.

She searched the man and managed to find a simple knife, while she would definitely have preferred a kunai, it would have to do.

As she heard footsteps approaching she hid behind the door, blade at the ready.

"Hey man we gotta go, bosses are gonna have our ass if you ain't got the merchandise." another man said as he entered, holding a worn down hand axe.

He turned and saw his friend lying motionless on the ground, eyes open, dull and lifeless with his neck at an angle that should not be possible.

"Oh shi-!" He started to shout before Satsuki struck, with a chakra enhanced kick to the face, sending the man flying into a wall and rendering him unconscious.

She quickly grabbed the hand axe and looked at the man, she'd clearly broken his jaw he twirled the knife in her palm, she thought maybe it would be a form of justice if she ended his life right then, the decision weighed on her for a few seconds before she decided no, he was broken and beaten, he'd be thrown in some hole never to see the light of day again, maybe that was worse.

She sneaked out the door and looked around, she heard sounds of fighting and shakes in the earth around her. Now the big decision, did she hunt down the ringleaders? Or just get the hell out of here and try and regroup with her team, from the sounds of it, her team were already down here. She decided on the best of other worlds and went towards the noises.

With Naruto

"Hey are those my blades?!" He yelled out seeing a shady looking man using his blades.

"Yea so what you little runt. Clone jutsu." The man said doing some hand signs making five copies of him appear.

"Shinobi?! Wait, that's just a basic clone from the academy, maybe he can just use chakra? That Suigeki bastard must have taught him." Maruto thought as he looked at the man and his five copies, he noticed the man breathing a little harder, definitely no formal training if he was winded after making five basic illusionary clones.

Luckily Naruto had something way more potent.

"Oh don't play that game with me you thieving bastard. Shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto shouted as five solid clones appeared.

"Yea I don't know which one of you is real and you don't know which one of me is real, big deal." The chakra wielding slaver spoke, clearly ignorant of the difference in their jutsu, and it would cost him.

"not exactly." Naruto said smirking as all Naruto's moved in unison, the clones went first and flew through each of the copies like the false images they were leaving the real one painfully obvious for the real Naruto.

"Wait they're rea-" the slaver started to say as Naruto delivered a kick right to the slavers face sending him into a wall and making him drop Satsuki's gift to Naruto which he caught in his hands.

"Don't take my stuff again, asshole." Naruto said as he kicked the man into the wall he was leaning against. It was then he saw a pouch on his person, he saw the small Uchiha symbol woven into a fabric, it was Satsuki's, and he had just rendered his possible guide to her unconscious, just great, way to go Naruto.

He picked up the pouch and affixed it to above his right buttock, damn that would be an issue, the ease of access of this pouch was for someone left handed and was meant to go on the left, well beggars can't be choosers he supposed.

"Alright guys, I'll head deeper in and find Satsuki. You lot go back and find anyone or anything of use and get it out of here." Naruto prime told his clones, getting nods from them.

"Just make sure you get Satsuki outta here boss." One turned and said to him before he followed his clone brethren.

"Don't worry, no way I'm letting these guys get away with what they've done." Naruto spoke, twirling a Kodachi in his hands as he set off further into the underground maze.

With Kakashi

"Lightning blade!" Kakashi yelled as he struck through a group of five men in quick succession with his most reliable weapon, while he could conserve as much chakra as he could he wasn't in the mood for wasting time and he wasn't in the best of moods. Shown by the other nine dead men further back.

He looked through the door and found out the reason why there were so many people in this area, the only thing that matters to people like this was here.

He looked at the room filled with sacks and briefcases, looking inside he saw they were mostly filled with ryo but others had alternative forms of currency like gemstones and fine jewelry, even some gold bars, there were even deeds in one of the briefcases. Well if they were gonna blow him up and almost impale him along with kidnapping two of his students, a little payback was in order.

"You hurt me, I hurt you back." Kalashi smirked under his mask as he unfurled an empty storage scroll. It would also be some fair compensation to his genin, talk about mission bonus. However it was slightly worrying, with this much money these bastards obviously have been at this for some time and obviously had some wealthy and powerful clients, getting his hands on some kind of ledger or documentation could be vital, Kakashi made note to look for some before he left this place.

Back with Satsuki

Satsuki was running through the hallways quickly defeating anybody she found.

Until she came across a man wearing a slashed stone village headband, it wasn't Dogeki but seemingly was a ninja.

"Heh, so the boss's golden ticket got out, did she? Well I'll get you back in your cage and go hunt down the rest of the bastards attacking us, nobody messes with the Gekai slavers and gets away with it." The ex-stone ninja spoke before weaving some hand signs.

"Earth style:rock skewer jutsu!" He yelled before slamming both of his palms into the narrow stone passageway, the rock shifted and moved it then struck, spikes of rock and stone forming from the wall and almost impaling her.

Luckily Satsuki's advanced agility came in handy as she managed to dodge the first spike and use that as a stepping stone to avoid the others, but it was a bit too close for comfort.

She decided to retaliate in kind.

"Fire style:Phoenix flower jutsu!" She spoke as he used the new fire jutsu she had just recently mastered, she spat out five small fireballs weaving them through the hallway obstructed by spikes, the ex-stone ninja used his own acrobatics to dodge the fireballs, he couldn't dodge the last two however and quickly planted his hands onto the ground and made a small stone wall rise up and block the attack, a large amount of smoke and dust entered the air from the explosion and while the split second earth style wall did block the attack due to ex-stone ninjas status as just a genin before he left his village and the lack of hand signs and time to perform the technique the wall did crumble to nothing.

Before the ninja could react Satsuki jumped through the dust and smoke, wielding the hatchet and bringing it down with a scream and implanting it in the enemy ninjas face, skull and ultimately, brain.

She panted, slightly shook up that she had just killed another person, even if it was the most effective way to defeat him in that single moment of opportunity, she looked up and instead of blood and viscera coming from the fatal blow there was just stone, the face cracking around the blow before the ninja crumbled into stone.

"Earth style:clone!" Satsuki screamed in her mind as she tried to anticipate where he would strike from, two hands then burst out of the earth and while one grabbed her leg, one held up a kunai dripping with purple fluid.

"I can give her the antidote when she's captured, but that was the last of my chakra, I need to finish this!" The ex-stone ninja yelled in his mind as he went to strike Satsuki with his poisoned kunai.

"No you dont!" A voice yelled out of nowhere, before the nameless missing nin could strike and before Satsuki could react to him Naruto appeared suddenly plunging a single Kodachi into the earth and stabbing the enemy ninja, hidden in the ground.

"Naruto?!" Satsuki yelled in shock, seeing him come out of nowhere and save her.

"Satsuki!" Naruto yelled in joy, leaving his blade implanted in the ground and hugging the girl tightly, overjoyed to see her safe.

"Man I was so worried, these bastards were saying how they were gonna sell you?! I see you already got yourself out like me!" Naruto said, smiling brightly at seeing her safe.

"So they captured you too? What about Kakashi and Sakura?" Satsuki asked him while smiling, honestly she was quite touched to see him so happy and jump right into the fray to save her like she had hoped he would, if she found out he was captured, she'd definitely come too.

"These bastards got us with the trap, a whole boat load of paper bombs. I was captured and have no idea about Kakashi-sensei or Sakura, but if I know Kakashi-sensei, he got himself and Sakura out alright." Naruto spoke as he turned and looked at the man in the ground he killed, his eyes gained a soft look as he saw the limp arms poking out of the earth, he reached down and pulled his blade out, he saw the blood on it and looked around for something to clean it with before wiping it on the dead man's sleeve, a dull look in his eye.

"So he killed during this too, it's an eventuality of being a ninja, but it still stings." Satsuki thought as she looked at him, while her stance towards human contact was aversion to say the least, Naruto needed support. Not to mention she herself needed someone right now, ashamed as she was to admit it.

So as Naruto stood up while they had just recently quickly embraced, the difference of Satsuki being the instigator was not lost on Naruto.

She embraced him gently, placing her head on his shoulder. "Thank you Naruto, truly." She spoke softly next to his ear, she was blushing slightly, as was Naruto, he was an utter moron and a loser but he was reliable when it came down to it in all honesty, running headfirst into a den of human scum just to make sure she was alright, the thought of someone going so far for her was not entirely unpleasant.

He hugged her back softly and said. "Of course, we're friends aren't we?" Naruto spoke softly.

"Yea, we're friends." Satsuki spoke as they broke apart, both not noticing the slight dusting of pink on one others cheeks.

"Well what do we do now? from the sounds I think someone else is down here with us, probably Kakashi-sensei." Spoke Naruto as they both slipped their game faces back on.

"We cut this off at the head, we need to find Dogeki and his brother and make sure they don't get away." Satsuki spoke, her eyes hard, there was no way in hell they could let these bastards escape, they'd just start all over again and who knows how many people they would hurt and take.

"It's gonna be dangerous but I agree, I met his brother, some bastard called Suigeki, had a water arm jutsu, we can't let him or his brother get away if he's just as bad. Here I picked this up off this guy I beat trying to find you." Naruto said as he held out her pouch.

"Thanks, all I had was a crude knife and a hatchet." Satsuki said smiling as she looked to see what was in her pouch and took out a kunai, then affixed it to her person.

"I'll go first, better then my clones, back me up." Naruto spoke, Satsuki nodded, she admitted his shadow clones were awfully useful for many things, yet it was still a mystery how he could use so many.

"Let's go." Satsuki spoke as they ran off.

As they got deeper and deeper into the rocky maze they were met with less people however they were much more skilled.

"Fire style:Fireball jutsu!" Satsuki yelled as she breathed out a fireball at a man and a woman who seemed to be ex-mist ninja.

"Water style:water trumpet!" they both yelled as they fired two pressurized blast of water from their mouths at Satsuki's fireball that put up a good fight as steam arose from the clash but was ultimately overcome by the fact that the ex-mist ninja outnumbered her and the fact that water style was obviously highly effective vs fire style.

But as they were performing the technique Naruto ran across the ceiling and dropped down and grabbed both the ninja by the back of their heads and personally introduced them to the stone floor, instantly rendering them unconscious and an assured headache when they awoke.

Naruto wordlessly held up his hand as Satsuki walked by and she casually high-fived him before Naruto turned to follow her.

After a few more subpar ninja they eventually reached a large open cavern and saw their targets. Both of the Gekai brothers standing there with unhappy looks on their faces, Suigeki more seething internal anger and Dogeki more outward rage.

"You couldn't just sit in your fucking cells and just be sold could you? Some noname green shinobi only worth some decent ryo as fight arena fodder and little miss princess!" Dogeki yelled at them as Naruto and Satsuki both took a stance.

"While my brother is slightly emotional he is right, you are nothing, just product, so surrender and we won't have to cut our losses down." Suigeki said, very unhappy that his stock was rebelling.

"Is that all you see people as, just merchandise, what sort of twisted worldview is that?!" Naruto yelled back at them, nor understanding what would make someone this twisted.

"OK here's a lesson kids so listen the hell up!" Dogeki started, rage still bubbling forth.

"it started with a stone ninja and a mist ninja who wanted to fuck one another very much, then low and behold, were came along nine months later, our mother defected from the mist village to be with her baby daddy but when she made it there she found out he died on a mission, she was alone and in an unfamiliar nation while she abandoned her own, so she did what she could, heavily pregnant she sold what mist secrets she could and sold herself to make it the rest of the way. Then she had two hungry mouths to feed, myself and my conjoined twin, so they cut us apart and we lived as the sons of a traitorous shinobi whore." Dogeki ranted, telling Naruto and Satsuki about his and his brothers past.

"I stayed in the stone village, becoming a shinobi despite the lack of an arm and the stigma of my own mother being the village bike, Suigeki snuck away on a trade caravan to the mist village as he inherited our mothers gifts in water style, as I had our fathers earth style. Eventually we met once again during the third great shinobi war and we both had the same thought, other people are shit, our own mother was just product to people and we soon realized shinobi are product of war, everything in his world is product and everything can be bought, women, ninja, wars, everything. So we left and took advantage, we used our knowledge of the truth of the world and our skills as high ranking chunin to gain vast amounts of wealth and status among the powerful and wealthy scum and we would have gotten a fortune for you, Uchiha princess." Dogeki finished, telling the tale of how their upbringing with a prostitute for a mother and no father along with their participation in the third great shinobi war had warped them into people who didn't even see others as human, only merchandise to be bought or sold.

It was beyond clear to Naruto and Satsuki these two were beyond insane and they could not turn the other cheek to these people continuing the madness they committed and their own personal grievances with their kidnapping and attempted slavery of the other.

"I'm no princess and I'll prove it right now as we bring an end to your madness!" Satsuki spoke as she readied herself to strike.

"Yeah! There's no way I'll ever forgive you for what you've done!" Naruto spoke, ready to create shadow clones in an instant.

"I couldn't agree more you two." A familiar voice spoke as a wall was broken open and Kakashi emerged from it. Both eyes revealed and slightly covered in dirt.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto yelled, ecstatic to see him alright.

"Hey there Naruto, Satsuki sorry I'm late, got lost on the road of life after all." He spoke as he walked in.

"Well I wouldn't expect you to ever be on time sensei. Is Sakura alright?" Naruto asked, chuckling at his sensei's antics while Satsuki just gave a small smile and shook her head.

"Don't worry she's fine, she stayed behind as I came after you two. So these are the bosses huh? The Gekai brothers." Kakashi spoke as he walked over to his team and turned to look at the brothers.

"I thought I dealt with you, copy ninja." Dogeki said seething in anger, everything was going wrong today, he wanted to just lash out but against a ninja of the copy ninja Kakashi's level, you couldn't afford to lose your cool.

"You gave it a good go, but I'm afraid it'll take more then that to put me down, Naruto, Satsuki which one do you want?" Kakashi asked them, while he'd like to avoid them fighting at all, they were committed to stopping these animals, so it was best to have them team up against one brother while he took care of the other.

"We'll take the one with the stone arm." Satsuki answered for them both, while Naruto did want to give that bastard Suigeki a good punch or two it was maybe better to not fight the guy who knew water style as it would allow him to counter Satsuki's jutsu easily so fighting the brother who used earth style was definitely the better move.

"OK, remember, watch each other's backs and work together." Kakashi spoke as he focused his gaze on Suigeki, watching him closely with his Sharingan. He'd already learnt a bit about the two from overhearing Dogeki's rant and interrogating some of their subordinates.

Suigeki was apparently the logical one who always had a plan and Dogeki was mainly the muscle and his brothers greatest asset in any of his plans, he was honestly quite happy for the two of them to fight Dogeki, it was easy, even without Sharingan, to see he was boiling over with rage, and that could make you sloppy.

"Alright, enough of this! Earth style:rock skewer jutsu!"Dogeki shouted out as he weaved some seals and used the same jutsu Satsuki saw earlier, however this was much more potent, numerous sharp rock spikes burst out of the ground and moved almost like a striking snake towards Naruto and Satsuki, had they not been some distance from Dogeki they may have struggled to dodge but they had enough te to react and move out of the way.

"Naruto, clones!" Satsuki shouted as she started to weave signs.

"Got it! Shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto yelled as nine clones along with Naruto appeared and they all moved to strike against Dogeki.

He was ready as he easily dodged the blows, placing the four claw like fingers of his stone hand together to make a spear and used it as such to stab the oncoming assault of clones, that was exactly what Satsuki wanted however as the real Naruto back away from the real Dogeki.

"Fire style:Phoenix flower jutsu!" She yelled as she spat multiple fireballs towards Dogeki who was currently occupied with the last two clones, it was only thanks to his battle experience and trained agility that he managed to dodge the fire jutsu but his clothes were a little singed.

At that moment Suigeki and Kakashi had not engaged one another, taking a moment to watch the two genin fight the ex-chunin. Kakashi's eyes smiled as he saw his two students work together to overcome the unavoidable gap in skill.

"Heh, so she's even mastered the Phoenix flower jutsu? She really has come far and will continue to do so. And you and your brother tried to rob her of that, take her life and future like it's just a commodity to be bought and sold, I won't forgive you for that." Kakashi said, smiling with pride as he saw Satsuki master and utilize another powerful fire jutsu but then his gaze turning hard as he looked on at Suigeki in anger, while the war changed many people, Kakashi included, there was no excuse for the way of thinking the brothers had adopted. The idea that it all came down to money and products and everyone was just a product was absurd, while weaker men and women were often ruled by the pursuit of money he knew in this world people's ideals and the uniqueness of individuals, the bonds they had made the world turn, but broken bonds and people losing the ones they cared for made it turn towards hate and war.

It was a sad and vicious cycle but it's the shinobi world they lived in, apparently the scale of suffering was lessened during the warring states period before the Era of hidden villages but the fighting was constant, they were lucky to be in a time of relative peace currently.

The existence of the Gekai brothers disturbed and warped that peace, which was something Kakashi could not allow.

"Fire style:Fireball jutsu!" Kakashi yelled as he launched an even more potent Fireball then Satsuki could produce at Suigeki he was ready however.

"Water style:water wall!" He yelled as he weaved his own hand signs and spat out water from his mouth that animated itself to produce a wall that the Fireball impacted making large amount of steam, that obscured Suigeki from view due to the steam being laced with chakra from the clash of the two ninjutsu.

"Water style:pressure lance!" Kakashi heard Suigeki shout, his Sharingan let him dodge the highly concentrated beam of water. The steam was dissipated as Kakashi saw Suigeki with one hand over his mouth, his index finger and thumb creating a small circle that Suigeki shot the beam out of.

As Kakashi was dodging however with his water arm Suigeki enlarged it and swept it like a whip across the room and it eventually caught Kakashi's leg fixing him in place as the beam of water cut across his chest, only instead of Kakashi being cut apart and blood and gore spilling out instead Kakashi burst into pure electricity which conducted through Suigeki's arm and delivered the shock right to him, his muscles tensing involuntarily as the lightning clones destructive dissipation played havoc with the ex mist chunins nervous system, he would have let out a scream if he jaw wasn't clamped shut.

Back with Satsuki and Naruto they were far more equal, with Naruto and his legions of clones as well as Satsuki backing them up they had Dogeki more then outnumbered but Dogeki was old, bigger, had high levels and more training and far more experience then both of them put together, not to mention they weren't going into this fight fresh, both of them had expended a not insignificant amount of chakra fighting through the subordinates of Dogeki and Suigeki.

"I don't give a shit about losses, when I'm down with you two I'm going to choke the life from your irritating little teammate princess." Dogeki ranted as his stone arm snapped the neck of the clone he held in it.

"You'll try!" Naruto yelled as he drew his kodachi and started to swing at Dogeki, he used his arm and a kunai to fight him off. Naruto already noticed a big difference, the blades were better balanced and it was easier to swing and fight as they were more fit for his size, the high quality of the metal also allowed Naruto to start shaving off chunks of Dogeki's arm, resulting in multiple chips in the arm and the removal of his pinkie finger.

"Damn brats! Earth style:armament arm jutsu!" Dogeki yelled as he thrust his damaged arm into the earth and pulled it out to see the arm had bulked up and instead of the normal hand it was replaced with a vicious looking morning star made of sharp rock, Dogeki started to spin the ball with a stone 'chain' to high speed then charged at the both of them, using chakra to enhance his speed.

He had focused his attention on Naruto and the blonde was managing to dodge his blows effectively.

"Fire style:Phoenix flower jutsu!" She spoke, launching another fireball barrage at the slaver. Only for him to turn and using the spinning armament arm to block the fireballs, it was clear the stone had been further enhanced with chakra as the fireballs didn't seem to damage his new arm.

"Damn, we just gotta get a good hit in, that arm has a big weakness, it's not a hand so he can't use it for hand signs, so no jutsu, but that's a dangerous weapon, there's no doubt somethings going to break if he hits either of us with it." Satsuki thought as she looked at Dogeki, a mad smile on his face, bloodlust overcoming his already lacking rationality.

He suddenly changed course and started to attack Satsuki.

"I don't give a shit about our guarantees anymore, one broken arm or leg won't cost us much, as long as the baby maker still works your worth triple your weight in gold!" Dogeki yelled as he started to savagely attack Satsuki, utterly crazed, it was clear eventually he wasn't getting anywhere.

"These little shits! Fine, you want to play like that, I'll break out my ultimate move, see you dodge me now!" Dogeki ranted in his mind, he was slipping second by second in a pure berserker rage.

"Earth style:armament arm:juggernaut!" Dogeki shouted as he fell to the ground as rock and stone started to cover his whole body his normal arm being covered by stone too, creating a giant stone fist as Dogeki became more giant then man, he was fully covered in an armor of stone and he was completely hidden as a mask of stone covered his face in the shape of an Oni.

"Oh shit." The Naruto clone standing next to Naruto and Satsuki spoke, before they could react a stone foot impacted the clone and sent him flying into the wall, instantly dispelling it.

Real Naruto and Satsuki grew many shades paler as they saw him move at an even greater speed then before.

"Run little mice!" Dogeki shouted, his voice seemingly warped by his stone mask.

And run they did, the battle had now devolved into a game of cat and mice and Naruto and Satsuki were definitely the mice. Dogeki chased them around with his impressive speed, the ground shaking with every step he took.

Back with Suigeki and Kakashi the leaf ninja was faring much better, Suigeki's reliance on water style was no match for Kakashi's highly advanced lighting style. He almost wanted to dispel his water arm but he'd be completely devoid of jutsu otherwise.

They clashed with kunai as they looked over and saw the now transformed Dogeki, almost playing with his prey.

"*huff* so he went and used it did he? When he gets like this I either have to let him go on a murderous rampage or throw a female product at him until he's satisfied. Perhaps that girl in the village who agreed to help our little facade if we released her mother and didn't sell her off, she obeyed orders like a scared kitten after I had my brother gut her kind old grandfather in the middle of the village, seeing her dress up all nice in that tight kimono I gave her was pretty funny too *sadistic laugh*." Suigeki spoke as he still continued to mock and speak obscenities in the face of Kakashi.

"Your scum!" Kakashi spoke loudly, his desire to make the brothers ends more and more violent, rising by the second.

"Oh Kakashi, there's no good or bad people. Only ones who sell product, buy product and are product, there's no God in the sky counting what we do against what we don't. There is only if you spend your life as a winner or a loser, and I refuse to be a loser who does the winner's bidding ever again." Suigeki spoke darkly as they both weaved seals, Kakashi recognized Suigeki's and the way his chakra was molding.

"Water style:water dragon jutsu!" Suigeki spoke as he spat out a large amount of water that formed a dragon ready to attack.

"Water style:water dragon jutsu!" Kakashi spoke, copying his jutsu perfectly as the two water dragons canceled each other out.

Naruto and Satsuki were not faring well, Naruto had bought them precious time by making a large amount of clones having many of them transform into Satsuki to confuse Dogeki but they were quickly being wiped out and from the heavy breathing Naruto was doing, it was clear he was running out of chakra and this strategy just let them survive, they had no way to defeat Dogeki, they had tried paper bombs as Satsuki still had a few in her pouch but they did little damage against the chakra infused stone, while he didn't repair it, most likely because performing this jutsu had drained Dogeki's chakra to the bar minimum but neither Satsuki ir Naruto had the chakra nor jutsu to strip away the armor.

She bit her finger, trying to think up some sort of plan, but it looked like their only hope was for Kakashi to defeat Suigeki and still have the strength to assist them, she hated that she needed saving again! She bit down so hard she drew a slight bit of blood.

This was a terrible mistake as Dogeki noticed this and instantly fixed his gaze on her, she had just harmed herself and she didn't pop, she was the real one.

Before Satsuki could react Dogeki ran at her and would have sent her flying with a kick, only for Naruto to push her out of the way at the last second, giving her a brief smile before he was sent flying into the stone wall with brutal force.

Satsuki lay on the ground stunned at what just happened, but it was fine right? It was just a clone! She looked over to the wall to see Naruto implanted in it, eyes shut and blood dripping from his mouth, he wasn't dispelling. The real Naruto had sacrificed himself to save her all the other clones dispelled, leaving just her and Dogeki there.

For Satsuki she wasn't in that hideout anymore, she was back in the hidden leaf on that night, in inverted grayscale, Naruto was there, wearing Uchiha clan clothing and Itachi had just kicked him into a wall and was walking towards him, bloodied katana at the ready to strike him down, just like how he'd murdered their mother, father and everyone else she'd ever cared about. "Brother no!" She screamed, unmoving on the ground.

Itachi was not fazed at all, he reached Naruto and slowly lifted his blade to deliver a mortal blow.

"Foolish little sister, your still so weak, still a coward, you'll run away in fear, again." Itachi spoke in Satsuki's PTSD-fueled delirium.

She wanted to run, run away and cling to her life again, but she didn't, she raised herself to her feet and ran towards her brother, instead of away.

The hallucination was broken as Satsuki stood there, hands raised and strained, holding back Dogeki's lazy kick with her arms infused with all the chakra she could spare.

Instead of the black orbs staring back at Dogeki's mask now were two red eyes with two tomoe each, sending a murderous glare at him. With a scream she mustered he enhanced strength and pushed Dogeki's leg back, of course he could have stopped her but seeing her fight back uselessly was all part of his fun.

"Heh, I was wondering where those special eyes of yours were. But no fancy eyes are gonna allow you to beat me!" Dogeki spoke, aiming a punch at her but Satsuki effortlessly dodged out of the way seeing the attack coming a mile away.

"This feeling! My Sharingan is back!" Satsuki thought in joy as she looked at Dogeki, noticing all his slight movements allowing her to see his moves with ease and dodge accordingly, she could also see the chakra flowing through his juggernaut jutsu, it seemed like it did require a constant flow to keep active, that was good, he'd already used a massive amount of chakra to make the armor and with all his prior jutsu, there's no way he wasn't reaching his limits, if she could precisely strike at the areas where the chakra was weakest she'd be able to achieve one of two outcomes, either create an opening where she could strike a mortal blow or force Dogeki to keep reinforcing his armor and eventually depleting him of chakra which should cause his jutsu to break and thus render his armor useless.

Dogeki couldn't understand what was going on, before the Uchiha girl could barley dodge his attacks he had her on the run, but now she could dodge him with ease, it's like she knew exactly what he was going to do even before he did, he had heard many tales of the Uchiha's legendary Dojutsu, could the tales of how it allowed the Uchiha to see the future…be true?!

No, no! It was impossible, how did they all get wiped out if their eyes allowed them to see the future? Whatever their powers were Dogeki could not overcome them, in a series of dodges and counterattacks Satsuki surgically struck at the points in Dogeki's armor where it was weakest, slowly but surely chipping away at it.

It seemed Dogeki opted for the second conclusion as he kept trying to reinforce his armor but the more he did, the slower the process was and the weaker each iteration of the armor became as he began to breathe heavily.

"Y-you bitch!" He shouted out between pants as he dropped to one knee, chakra almost completely gone.

"Against the Uchiha, all jutsu, weakness and moves are known and seen, with my eyes, I see right through you." Satsuki said proudly red eyes staring into Dogeki's as half of his mask fell away.

"I'm not going down without taking something from you!" Dogeki shouted as his armor fully fell away, instead a clawed arm of stone erupted from the ground, aimed to strike right into her eye.

With the latent chakra in the earth from the cavern's creation it blinded her to the arm moving through the earth, she just barely reacted in time to dodge the attack with clawed hand scraping against her forehead protector.

Someone however was ready, a panting, bleeding Naruto threw a Kodachi to Satsuki that she used to cut off the hand of Dogeki, she smirked at him, red eyes only adding to the look.

"Wai!" Dogeki barely managed to get out as Naruto and Satsuki were in no mood to suffer this filth any longer.

They both moved and with Kodachi at the ready, struck Naruto through the back and Satsuki through the front of his heart, Dogeki's eyes widened as his life faded right then and there, no honest man or woman would shed even a semblance of a tear over him.

Suigeki however would, but he wasn't an honest man, he was the farthest thing from it.

"DOGEKI!" Suigeki shouted, seeing his brother die to two children, not even chunin yet.

"Heh, they really have both come far, I'm going to need to talk with them both, I think they made their first kills today. I was hoping that wouldn't happen for a long while, but you robbed them of the chance to choose or wait till you truly decide to turn that corner in their development as a ninja. I'm going to make you pay for that." Kakashi spoke, his tone getting more venomous as his words went on. He was going to end this now.

"Fuck you they killed my brother!" Suigeki shouted, tears forming in his eyes.

"And how many brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers have you robbed people of. I'm going to send you to whatever oblivion your brother went to. This is where we say goodbye." Kakashi spoke as he jumped into the ground with earth style and jumped up right below Suigeki uppercutting and disorienting him.

Kakashi took this time to perform his technique.

"Lightning blade!" He yelled, he filled both hands with highly concentrated lighting chakra. He then struck Suigeki raising them both up into the air in a zigzag motion at the apex he appeared above Suigeki and channeled his chakra into one hand making it surge with even more lightning.

"Double lightning quake!" He yelled as he dropped piercing Suigeki with the second more potent Lightning blade and splitting the zig-zag trail he left down the middle, when the dust settled Kakashi was standing over Suigeki and he pulled his bloodied hand out of his body, ozone heavily in the air, there was no doubt to Kakashi and both onlookers, Suigeki Gekai was very very dead.

"That…was the coolest thing…I have ever witnessed." Naruto spoke dumbstruck as he saw his sensei's jutsu, Satsuki just nodded dumbly with him.

"I need to learn that." Was her single thought.

"Are you two alright?!" Kakashi asked as he ran over to them.

"I need a long rest after this mission Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said looking over his cut up clothes and bleeding.

"Well I finally got my Sharingan to work again, so I'm happy." Satsuki said she finally managed to turn her Sharingan on and off at will, with Naruto expressing joy at her ability to do so as he saw her practice turning it on and off.

"Man, you saved me again, Satsuki, thank you." Naruto said sincerely, softly smiling at the girl as she smiled back at him.

"W-well it was nothing. Don't get used to it l-loser." She spoke, blushing slightly at the praise, for some odd reason that made her way more happy then it should.

"Yea, I'll save you next time." Naruto said grinning at her, she just smiled back, happy to know someone had her back.

"They grow up so fast." Kakashi thought as he looked at them.

Boom kinda done with the first real oc arc (we'll have 1 more chapter then we are off to the chunin exams) so what did you think of the Gekai brothers? I kinda wanted just some real scumbags to ease Naruto and Satsuki into their first kill (the major point of this arc)

We also had some new jutsu, three of them. Very basic stuff, I don't feel the need to do into more detail about it (may have a little Omake and chibi N&S telling you about them at the end of next chapter kinda want to just get this out rn)

Kakashi used 'double lightning quake' or 'twin lighting shiver' from the storm games, he may use it again once (along with some other storm inspired moves maybe) or twice do you prefer quake or shiver tho?

Have a happy new year all.
