Stitched Kitsune: Chapter 52
With Naruto and Kimimaro
Naruto and Kimimaro both looked at Tenzo as he stood a few yards away from them; Naruto was bursting with chakra and Kimimaro was in his final curse mark form ready to battle. But Tenzo looked at them with a calm demeanor analyzing them both and concocting a plan of attack.
Tenzo reassured himself and launched his attack by going through hand signs "Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergance" he shouted; all around him small trees began to shoot out of the ground making Naruto and Kimimaro go wide eyed.
The trees began to crack and split the ground around Naruto and Kimimaro's feet and the both of them had to jump as trees and roots began to erupt all around them; the trees began to form into a large circle entrapping both Naruto and Kimimaro as the trees began to intertwine together.
Naruto realizing what happened shouted "Crap, he trapped us" Naruto shouted and as soon as he said that he saw Tenzo running towards him.
"Wood Style: Great Forest Jutsu" Tenzo shouted as he aimed his arm at Naruto and launched a series of wooden spikes at Naruto; Naruto seeing this went through hand signs and slammed his hands onto the ground.
"Earth Style: Earth Spikes" Naruto shouted as earth spikes shot out of the ground towards Tenzo; Tenzo's wood jutsu collided with he spikes and smashed through them continuing towards Naruto. Naruto still having his body hardening jutsu activated put his arms up at the wood spikes neared; the spikes slammed into him knocking him back a few feet before he recovered.
Kimimaro seeing that Naruto was hit ran over in order to attack Tenzo but Tenzo was ready for him; Tenzo seeing Kimimaro with his bone swords created two wooden swords from the ground and grabbed it just as Kimimaro closed the distance and sent two slashes towards him, one low and one high.
Tenzo raised the swords and blocked both slashes with ease surprising Kimimaro by how resilient the wooden weapon was as his bone was able to cut and pierce through steel with ease; Tenzo parried Kimimaro's bone swords and sent a slash of his own aiming for Kimimaro's neck in order to decapitate him.
Kimimaro moved his head back just in time with Tenzo's sword missing his neck by an inch; Tenzo sent another slash towards Kimimaro's chest and Kimimaro dodged but Tenzo ended up scoring a glancing blow creating a cut across his chest and spilling first blood.
Kimimaro retaliated by sending a thrust aimed at Tenzo's heart with his right sword but Tenzo side stepped to the left of the attack now on Kimimaro exposed right side. Tenzo sent a slash to Kimimaro's side but Kimimaro reinforced his ribs and the sword was stopped albeit giving Kimimaro in a lot of pain.
Seeing his attack failed Tenzo sent a kick towards Kimimaro's side and the attack knocked Kimimaro off his feet.
Kimimaro was hit in his damaged ribs and knocked to the side, skidding on the ground a few yards before stopping and placing his hand on the ground 'Dance of the Seedling Fern'; spikes of bone began to shoot out of the ground heading towards Tenzo who did a back flip to avoid being hit.
Tenzo barely landed on the ground several yards away before Naruto came in from the side and sent a punch towards him; Tenzo making a hand signs summoned a wood wall in between him and Naruto in an attempt to stop it.
But Naruto using his increase in chakra focused a large portion into his fist to increase the power of the blow; Naruto's fist smashed into the wall shattering it and continuing towards Tenzo.
Tenzo went eyed as he raised an arm and transformed it into wood in an attempt to protect himself; Naruto's fist slammed into the now wooden arm and the force of the blow sent Tenzo flying through the air. Tenzo slammed into the trunk of a tree and landed on the ground coughing up a little blood before looking at Naruto and Kimimaro.
"Is that all you got bastard?" Naruto shouted and Tenzo stood up and made a hand sign.
"Wood Style: Wood clones" Tenzo said as 20 wood clones grew from his back and stood next to him.
"Clones huh?" Kimimaro said readjusting his grip "this should be a challenge"; Kimimaro got back into a stance and looked to Naruto. "Are you ready?" He asked and Naruto nodded.
"Time for round goddamn two" Naruto said getting into his taijutsu stance "bring it"; upon saying that Tenzo and his clones all rushing in to engage them.
With Hinata, Haku and Anko
Hinata, Haku and Anko were all fighting Sasuke on the ice platform that Haku created and so far were having a difficult time trying to fight him; despite only having one sharingan Sasuke was proving it was more than enough to counter them.
Hinata was using her modified taijutsu to fight Sasuke at close range; Hinata sent several strikes towards Sasuke who was using his sharingan to track her attacks. Sasuke was using his arms to block the attacks and Sasuke was confused at how much the strikes hurt.
With each strike that contacted his arm his arms felt like they were burning; even using his curse mark his chakra felt off as he constantly felt his chakra points close then reopen.
Hinata threw another strike towards Sasuke who blocked her attack before grabbing her arm and pulling her forward; Sasuke aimed a kick at Hinata's head and Hinata bent backwards with the heel of his sandal grazing the chin of her helmet. Hinata used this opportunity to use her leg to perform a sweep and take Sasuke off his feet sending him to the ice floor below.
Sasuke hit the ice below landing on his back but immediately spring-boarded himself up and sent a double kick to Hinata's stomach knocking the wind out of her; Hinata was stunned for a moment and Sasuke got back to his feet and attacked. Sasuke threw a punch towards Hinata who blocked it but then was followed up by another that hit the left side of her helmet cracking the visor and sending the metal; Sasuke finished his attack by sending a spinning kick towards her and hit her on her left side sending her flying off the platform into the water.
Seeing this Anko went through hand signs and took in a deep breath 'Fire Style: Majestic flames Jutsu'; Anko fired a large stream of fire towards Sasuke who turned around and went through hand signs himself.
'Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu' Sasuke fired a large fireball towards Anko's jutsu and both of them collided and exploded canceling each other out; the result was a large cloud of smoke obstructed Sasuke's view of Anko.
Suddenly 2 snakes shot out of the smoke and went towards Sasuke, their mouths wide open and fang protruding; Sasuke swatted away the first snake before the second one bit down into his arm securely grabbing him just as the smoke cleared.
Anko seeing her snake make contact pulled the snake back towards herself and dragging Sasuke with it; Haku seeing Sasuke get pulled towards Anko took out some senbon and threw them towards his neck.
Sasuke seeing this raised his arm and both senbon hit him drawing blood and causing pain but not knocking him out; Anko seeing the attack failed clenched her fist and threw a punch at Sasuke as he neared.
Anko's fist slammed into his face knocking some teeth loose and making him spit up blood before he was sent sailing back.
As he flew through the air Hanku went into the ice and moved to where Sasuke was going and popped out of the ice; Haku spun around and threw a kick towards him and hit Sasuke in the ribs sending him to the icy floor below.
Sasuke got back up immediately and looked at both Anko and Haku; Hako took out several senbon while Anko got into her taijutsu stance ready for another fight. Before anyone could make a move someone shot out of the water and climbed onto the platform.
Hinata got back to the surface and was struggling to take off her helmet which had filled up with water due to the damaged visor; finding the clip Hinata ripped off her helmet and began to vomit water onto the platform.
Upon doing this Sasuke's remaining eyed widened "wait a minute" Sasuke said gaining Hinata's attention; Hinata then realized she just took off her helmet and showed Sasuke her true identity. "You're that Hyuga girl who went missing several months ago" Sasuke said before his surprise turned into excitement "oh this just got good, four traitors in one group; what is he doing, collecting women like playing cards".
Hinata hearing this got a very rare angry look on her face "Naruto loves us all for who we are; I went with him willingly" she said and Sasuke chuckled.
"You know what" Sasuke said as he got a smirk on his face "I wonder how you're precious Naruto would react when I kill three of his whores in one day" he said and Anko scoffed.
"Please, Naruto's nice but he's way too young for me" Anko said "I'm not a cradle robber"; Anko looked at Sasuke and continued. "That being said, I'll be damned if I let you do anything to these two" Anko said with a death glare "I'd die first".
"That can be arranged" Sasuke said as he went through hand signs before grabbing his wrist and lightning began to crackle "lets continue shall we?"
With Naruto and Kimimaro
Naruto gripped his gold dagger and took out his club just as Tenzo's wood clones closed the distance; Naruto swung his club towards the first clone that approached him and the clone ducked under the club and threw a punch at Naruto hitting him in the stomach.
Naruto coughed out his breath but did not waver as he sent a kick towards the clone hitting it in the face and knocking it away; as soon as he did that another clone wielding a wood sword slashed down at Naruto with an overhead swing. Naruto put up his club and dagger in an 'X' formation to stop the sword just above his head.
Using a parry the clone pushed Naruto's weapons aside leaving him wide open; the clone sent a horizontal slash at Naruto who ducked under the slash and used his dagger to counter. The dagger cut through the clones knees making it fall to the ground and Naruto gripping his club swung and hit the clone in the head shattering it and killing it.
As soon as he did that wood spikes shot out of the ground and hit Naruto in the chest sending him flying backwards until he landed and stopped; Tenzo himself used the jutsu to give his remaining clones the opportunity to attack Naruto.
5 of the remaining 9 clones charged at Naruto and pointed their arms at him; their arms turned into wooden spikes and Naruto put his weapons into his belt and began to go through hand signs.
'Fire Style: Fire Dragon Jutsu' Naruto took in a deep breath before firing a massive stream of fire that took the shape of a dragon and sent it towards the 5 clones; the clones wood spikes were hit first setting them on fire before continuing towards the clones. 2 of the clones were fast enough to avoid the attack but 3 others were hit and set alight like matches flailing and burning.
Tenzo and his other clones all made protective wood domes around themselves at the fire jutsu engulfed their areas; Tenzo cursed as this fire jutsu was a lot more powerful than a normal one.
'Damn it; he just had to drink that water' Tenzo thought as he kept his dome up
Naruto cut the off the fire and coughed while rubbing his throat 'man, fire jutsus hurt my throat; this is why I have my heart do it' he thought; after a few seconds Naruto saw 7 wood domes that were charred open up with Tenzo and his remaining clones coming out. 'Damn it' Naruto thought in annoyance as he took out his weapons once more.
Kimimaro meanwhile was completely surrounded by the wood clones as was having to multitask as he fought them; one of the wood clones swung a wood sword at Kimimaro and Kimimaro used his bone swords to block it.
Upon blocking the sword another clone came up from behind Kimimaro and swung it's sword at Kimimaro hitting him in the back and leaving a large gash; Kimimaro's skin and muscle were sliced open but the sword was stopped from doing any major damage due to hitting his reinforced ribs and spine.
Kimimaro feeling the pain used his kekkei genkai to create a dozen bone spikes from his back that shot out and impaled the clone that attacked him from behind destroying it. Kimimaro still with locked blades with the clone in front of him sent a kick towards it; a bone spike shot out from the bottom of his heel and the spike pierced through the clone.
Swinging his leg to the side Kimimaro cut the wood clone in half before looking around at the other approaching clones; Kimimaro aimed his fingers at 2 clones and fired a volley of bone bullets.
The bullets hit the clones punching holes in them and dropping them to the ground as the remaining 6 clones continued to attack; 4 of the clones got around Kimimaro in a square formation and all made a similar hand sign.
'Wood Style: Four Pillar Prison Jutsu', trees began to shoot out of the ground and surrounded Kimimaro into a square wooden cage with thick wooden bars on all sides; Kimimaro seeing he was trapped swung his bone swords at the bars in order to cut through them.
The swords struck the bars and broke as the wood was treated with a chakra coating giving it extra durability; the four clones changed and signs and both the bottom and top of the cage turned into sharp spikes cutting the bottom of Kimimaro's feet.
The cage top and bottom then slammed shut like a fly trap crushing and stabbing Kimimaro and making the clones think that he was dead; the next moment large bone spikes shot out of the cage and the ground and destroyed the 4 clones that made the cage.
Kimimaro came out of the ruins of the cage heavily bleeding, his right eye popped out of his skull and with chunks of flesh torn off his body; Kimimaro reinforced his bones at the last second, keeping himself from being crushed like a bug.
Kimimaro used his right hand to put his eye back into his head as he looked at the 2 remaining wood clones; his flesh was slowly healing as he leaned his head forward and his spine popped out the nape of his neck.
With one swift motion Kimimaro pulled out his spine to use as a spear and got into a stance "is that the best you could do?" Kimimaro said to the clones "what a pitiful attempt".
With Hinata, Haku and Anko
Sasuke charged at Haku with his chidori crackling in his hand as he dashed forward closing the distance quickly; Haku seeing this made a hand sign and spoke.
"Ice Style: Ice wall" Haku shouted as a wall of ice appeared in front of her just as Sasuke thrusted his chidori towards her.
"CHIDORI" Sasuke roared as he thrusted his chidori forward and into the ice wall; the wall stopped the lightning jutsu for just a few moments before it started cracking. Sasuke forced his way through and the other side of the wall exploded and Haku in a moment of desperation raised her arms to protect herself.
Sasuke's chidori hit Haku cutting through her left arm making it hang on only by a piece of skin while cutting her right arm but not severely; Haku screamed as blood began to gush from her left arm. Sasuke satisfied with this spun around and sent a kick towards her hitting her in the ribs and sending her flying off the platform into the water.
"HAKU" Anko shouted as she charged forward and sent a flying kick towards Sasuke; Sasuke turned around just in time to have Anko's foot collide with his face knocking him off the opposite side of the platform. Anko landed and looked atop Hinata who was frozen in shock "HINATA, GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR AND GET HAKU" Anko shouted before running after Sasuke.
Hinata snapped out of her shock and jumped into the water and swam down; Hinata saw Haku sinking as she tried to kick herself back up while bleeding heavily. Hinata swam over and grabbed Haku and pulled her back to the surface; Hinata and Haku both surfaced and they both swam over to the shore.
Hinata pulled Haku onto the stone surface and immediately reached into her pouch and took out a tourniquet and put it around Haku's arm; Hinata began to tighten the tourniquet around Haku's arm and Haku screamed.
"OH KAMI…damn it" Haku screamed before whimpering in pain before looking at Hinata with worry "am-am-am I going to die?"
Hinata took out a roll of bandages and began to bandage Haku's right arm and stuttered as she tried to speak.
"N-no you're going to be fine" Hinata said sounding unsure "just-just stay here and keep this tight; here have this"; Hinata pulled out morphine syringe and injected Haku with it. "That'll help with the pain" Hinata said "I need to go and help Anko, just stay awake as much as you can".
"O-ok-ok" Haku said breathing hard; Hinata got up and ran back across the water; Haku looked at her left arm, the upper and lower half barely connected and felt nauseous. Haku using her right hand made a hand sign and ice began to form around the lower part of her arm; the arm was fully encased in ice and Haku hopped they could end the fight soon so hopefully Naruto or Kakuzu could reattach it.
Anko meanwhile reached down into the water and pulled out Sasuke by his shirt collar; Sasuke was coughing up water when Anko cocked back her fist and sent it towards him. Anko slammed her fist into Sasuke's gut making him cough up blood.
Sasuke quickly recovered and reached out and grabbed Anko by the back of the head by her pony tail; Sasuke pulled her head down while also bringing up his knee. Sasuke kneed Anko in the face knocking her head back and making a stream of blood rush out of her nose.
Anko let go of Sasuke who landed on the water before throwing a punch hitting Anko in the gut knocking the wind out of her; Sasuke continued sending a series of fast punches towards her hitting her harder each time. Sasuke finished his attack by kicking her in the chest and sending her flying back.
As she flew through the air, Sasuke went through hand signs 'Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu'; Sasuke launched a massive fire ball towards Anko as she landed on the water. Despite being dazed Anko went through hand signs to defend herself.
'Water Style: Water wall', Anko formed a wall of water in front of her before jumping back and making another one several feet behind it; the fire ball hit the water wall and was weaken but continued. It then hit the next water wall and was destroyed as it turned into a cloud of steam.
Sasuke waited focusing on the steam and was expecting someone to come out; and he was proven right as both Anko and Hinata burst out of the cloud of steam and attacked him.
Both Anko and Hinata closed the distance and began to engage Sasuke at close range sending a serious of attacks at him; Sasuke blocked a kick from Anko only to receive a palm strike to the stomach from Hinata.
Sasuke then blocked a palm strike from Hinata only to be kicked int he stomach by Anko; Sasuke, even with the use of his sharingan could not keep up with the rapid assault from both women.
Hinata threw a palm strike hitting Sasuke in the chest and sending him stumbling back; Hinata seeing an opportunity lunged forward and began to rapidly hit Sasuke's chakra points with a series of well placed attacks. She finished with a double palm strike to the chest sending Sasuke flying back and skipping across the water to the other shore line.
Both Anko and Hinata looked on as Sasuke slowly got back up and looked at them with hate in his one remaining eye "you damn whores" Sasuke snarled as his curse mark began to expand once more "you will not humiliate me here".
Sasuke began to transform as his skin became dark grey, his hair became longer and dark blue, the whites of his eye turned black and his nails became longer and sharper; Sasuke groaned for a few seconds until out of his back 2 bat like wings sprouted and flapped.
"Kami above…" Hinata said disturbed at the sight.
Anko however was not gritting her teeth 'damn it, me and Hinata are out classe now' Anko thought before an idea popped into her mind 'unless…'. Anko groaned as she made a hand sign "I swore I'd never use it, but it looks like I don't have a choice" Anko said and Hinata looked at her.
Anko's curse mark on her neck began to glow and spread across her body as she grit her teeth in pain; Anko's curse mark covered nearly her entire body and an aura of chakra formed around her. Anko's veins felt like they were on fire as she tried to keep focus on Sasuke.
"Hinata, I'll do most of the fighting; back me up ok" Anko said and Hinata nodded.
"Ok, Anko sensei" Hinata said as both she and Anko got ready to fight Sasuke.
With Naruto and Kimimaro
Naruto blocked a slash from a wood clones sword with his club and countered with a kick to the chest knocking it back slightly; Naruto detached his left arm holding his gold dagger, using his threads to control it and sent it towards the clone.
The clone couldn't move in time as the dagger pierced through it's head shattering it before Naruto swung hit around like a whip.
Tenzo was right next to one of his wood clones as Naruto did this and ducked down as the gold dagger went over his head and bisected another one of his clones.
'Damn this kid' Tenzo thought as he went through hand signs before slamming them onto the ground 'Earth Style: Bottomless swamp'.
Naruto brought back his arm and reattached it just as the ground under him turned to mud and he sunk in; before he could do anything one of Tenzo's clones closed in and attacked him with an overhead slash with his wood sword. Naruto raised his weapons above his head and blocked the strike.
Suddenly from behind Naruto was pierced through by a wooded spike from another one of Tenzo's clones as it turned it's arm into a wooden spear; Naruto coughed up blood as he grit his teeth.
"B-bastards" Naruto said before letting out a roar; threads shot out of Naruto's chest and back and grabbed both of the clones that attacked him and entangled them. Naruto with great effort pulled himself out of the mud while simultaneously pulling his threads at tight as he could as fast as he could.
The result was both wood clones being shredded to pieces and Naruto jumped away and landed on the ground kneeling over; Naruto's wind heart suddenly popped out of his back making him scream in pain before landing in a lifeless mass of threads.
Naruto got to his feet shakily as his chest wound was begin healed by the increased chakra in his system due to the hero's water 'damn it, I lost my lightning heart and now my wind heart' Naruto thought. 'This is not my day' Naruto thought as he went through hand signs before shouting "Water Style: Water Vortex jutsu".
Using the water that was already on the ground Naruto launched a massive water vortex towards Tenzo and his 2 remaining clones; Tenzo and his clones made hand signs and pillars formed under their feet raising them off the ground as the water vortex rushed under them.
The jutsu with it's increased power due to the hero's water cut the bottoms of the pillars surprising Tenzo 'that must be because water is one of the elements for wood style' he thought analyzing the damage.
Tenzo was brought back to the fight when he saw Naruto run up a pillar towards one of his clones "I'm not done yet bastard" he shouted as he rushed the top and thrusted his dagger at the clone.
The clone blocked the attack and Naruto followed up by swinging his club at the clones head; the club hit the clone and both the club and the clone shattered to pieces "damn" Naruto thought as he threw the broken club aside.
The last clone jumped from it's pillar and sent a flying kick towards Naruto hitting him and knocking him back towards the ground; Tenzo seeing this jumped down to assist his last clone.
Kimimaro meanwhile was still fighting the last 2 wood clones while heavily wounded and exhausted; Kimimaro blocked a slash from one of the clones with his spine spear and parried it to the side before sending a thrust.
The clone dodged to the side before transforming it's arm into wooden spikes and sending them towards Kimimaro; Kimimaro jumped backwards doing a flip in the air before landing several yards away as the other clone attacked him.
Kimimaro send a series of fast thrusts towards the clone as it began to block and dodge the attacks form his spine spear; Kimimaro pulled back hit spear and swung it at a wide arc and the clone put it's sword in front of it to block it. The spine spear hit the sword but instead of stppping it bent around the sword and wrapped around the clone; Kimimaro now with a firm hold of the clone spun around the threw it at the first clone.
Both clones collided and smashed to pieces before Kimimaro looked off in the distance and saw Naruto still fighting Tenzo; Kimimaro even through he was exhausted ran over to assist him.
Naruto blocked a punch from Tenzo's clone and the clone sent a back fist to Naruto's left hand which held the gold dagger and knocked it from his grasp. Naruto not wanting to stop grabbed it's arm before throwing it off to the side; as soon as he did that the real Tenzo ran in and threw a punch towards Naruto hitting him in the face.
Naruto's head cocked to the side and Tenzo followed up with another powerful punch knocking Naruto's head in the opposite direction; Tenzo placed his hand onto Naruto's chest and grew a wooden spike and shot it through Naruto's chest.
Naruto fell backwards as another one of his hearts was destroyed; Naruto groaned and gripped his chest before sending a punch controlled by his threads towards Tenzo.
Tenzo was too close to dodge and he was hit in the face and was sent stumbling back; Naruto began to get back up when his water heart shot out of his back now destroyed 'two hearts left' Naruto thought as fatigue was taking it's toll on him.
The hero's water was healing his wounds but the boost was wearing off and Naruto was feeling fatigued.
Upon getting up the last remaining clone charged at Naruto who got into his taijutsu stance; before the clone could get close it was saddlery hit from behind by several bone bullets fired by Kimimaro. Naruto let out a sigh of relief as he saw Kimimaro rushing over to help him; Naruto spun around and saw Tenzo get back up and he went through hand signs.
'Earth Style: Earth Dragon bullet', Naruto using the mud Tenzo created earlier created a mud dragon that opened it's mouth and fired a volley of mud bullets at Tenzo.
Tenzo made a hand sign preparing to block the mud bullets when suddenly his right knee cap exploded; Kimimaro shot a well aimed bone bullet through Tenzo's knee crippling him and making him unable to finish the hand signs.
Tenzo was pelted by the barrage of mud bullets and was knocked to the ground; as he tried to get back up Naruto ran over, cocked back his fist and punched him in the face. Naruto got on top of Tenzo and spoke.
"I think you owe me something" Naruto said as his threads shot out of his chest and Tenzo saw this; Tenzo grew wood on his chest to stop Naruto's threads which it did and Naruto grew angry "fine then, have it your way".
Naruto opened both of his palm with his fingers pointing forward 'Earth Style: Earth Spear'; Naruto came down with both his hands acting like spear points and stabbed through Tenzo's improvised wood armor and piercing his chest making him scream.
Naruto with great strength turned his hands and ripped open his ribcage revealing all his organs including his still beating heart; Naruto's threads shot out and grabbed the heart and pulled it back into his own chest.
When the heart was inside Naruto he hurriedly got off of Tenzo and made a hand sign before firing a weak fire jutsu setting him on fire; Naruto was breathing heavily as he turned and saw Kimimaro who was standing a few feet away.
Naruto and Kimimaro both looked like they took a beating as they had bruises, cuts, broken bones and by the looks of it Kimimaro's eye was barely inside the socket.
"I only got three hearts now" Naruto said before spitting some blood and teeth on the ground "shit… those are my teeth"; Naruto used his tongue to feel around and he felt his 2 empty slots on the bottom left side of his mouth and 1 on the top. "Fuck me" Naruto said rubbing his jaw.
"We should help the others" Kimimaro said while breathing heavily and Naruto nodded.
"Lets go" Naruto said before looking at the forest wall surrounding them Naruto began to go through hand signs for a fire jutsu "this might take a few minutes".
With Anko and Hinata
Sasuke flew towards Anko using his wings to give him a burst of speed; Anko seeing this got ready and timed her attack. When Sasuke was a few feet away Anko jumped over him while spinning around and sending a kick to his side; Sasuke was knocked off course and crashed into the valley wall before getting back up and when he did Hinata ran in.
Hinata sent a palm strike to Sasuke's chest knocking him back and knocking the wind out of him; she followed up with another, and another and another at the point which she was just attacking him as rapidly as she could. The attacks seemed to have little effect as Sasuke was still conscious and clenched his fist.
Sasuke swung at Hinata who jumped back and Sasuke rushed forward; Sasuke sent a kick which Hinata blocked before jumping up and sending another. This kick hit Hinata across the face making her see stars and Sasuke landed on the ground and got into a stance.
Hinata recovering sent a palm strike towards Sasuke who blocked it and opened up his fist; Sasuke in an instant began to gather chakra into his palm until a unstable blue ball of swirling chakra formed and he thrusted it forward.
"RASENGAN" Sasuke shouted as he sent the jutsu straight into Hinata's chest; the rasengan began to rip through her chakra armor and through the fabric and began to shred her skin. Hinata was sent flying back from Sasuke and Anko seeing this rushed over.
"HINATA" Anko shouted as she opened her arms and caught Hinata; Hinata despite not weighing much slammed into Anko who looked down at her. Hinata's chest was smoking and bleeding and Hinata was coughing up blood and struggling for breath; from the looks of it Hinata's breast bone was pushed. From Anko's best guess Hinata's sternum was broken and she had massive internal damage, most likely her heart.
Anko then heard chuckling and looked over to Sasuke "not bad for a jutsu I haven't mastered yet" Sasuke said smugly "oh well, two down and one to-".
Before he could finish a hand being controlled by threads grabbed Sasuke by the neck and slammed him back into the stone valley wall; Naruto landed along with Kimimaro and Naruto controlling his arm pulled Sasuke back towards him at high speeds.
Naruto's free hand began to get covered in stones until his fist was completely encased 'Earth Style: Rock fist'; when Sasuke was in range Naruto sent a punch straight towards him hitting him in the face and knocking him to the ground.
Sasuke slammed into the stone ground and before he could get back up Naruto grabbed him by the collar and cocked back his rock fist; Naruto sent another hard punch towards Sasuke's face, slamming his head back against the stone ground.
Naruto punched Sasuke several more times until Kimimaro grabbed his arm "ENOUGH" Kimimaro shouted before regaining his calm "he's done". Naruto looked to Sasuke and saw his curse mark was receding as his consciousness began to fade "go and help the women; I have the Uchiha" Kimimaro said.
Naruto got up and rushed over to Hinata and Anko while Kimimaro used his spine to restrain Sasuke 'you are more trouble than you are worth' Kimimaro thought as he restrained the barely conscious Sasuke.
Naruto skidding to a halt as he kneeled with Anko on the ground over Hinata as she began to cough and shake violently "what happened to her?" Naruto asked and Anko spoke.
"She got hit in the chest by a jutsu; I think her sternum is broken, it might be her heart" Anko said as she reached her fingers into Hinata's mouth and dug out some blood and vomit "I-I don't think she's going to make it".
Hearing this Naruto began to panic 'H-Hinata's not going to make it?' Naruto thought as his hearts began to race 'no, no, no, no, no, no… I can't lose her'. "I-I won't" Naruto said quietly "I WON'T LOSE HER AGAIN!"
Naruto pushed Anko to the side before reaching down and grabbing Hinata's shirt and ripping it open so her entire top half was bare; Naruto leaned over her and his chest opened and Naruto's threads shot out into Hinata's chest.
Hinata was barely conscious when eyes open in shock as she let out a blood curdling scream as her chest was ripped open; Naruto's threads then began to move his fire heart into Hinata's chest and Naruto began to scream in pain too.
Anko seeing this fell back on her ass as she saw Naruto transfer his last original heart into Hinata; in the span of less than a minute Naruto's threads sewed back up both his and Hinata's chest and Naruto fell over to the side.
"Naruto" Anko shouted as she rushed over and picked him up; Kimimaro now having fully restrained Sasuke ran over as well and looked at all the blood on the ground, most of it originating from Naruto.
Haku was barely walking across the river holding her frozen severed arm when she saw this and made it ashore "w-what did you do?" Haku said weakly as she kneeled down and looked over Hinata who was stone still and looking pale.
"I-I was t-trying to save her" Naruto said weakly as he was on the verge of passing out; Naruto began sob softly "I didn't want to lose her; I couldn't-".
Hinata suddenly shot up with a gasp and everyone jumped in surprise and went wide eyed as she clutched her chest and began to cough "*cough* w-what happened?" Hinata said.
Naruto was the most stunned out of everyone "holy shit it worked" Naruto said not believing he actually did it.
Hinata looked down at her chest and saw a large circular area above her left breast that was stitched with Naruto's threads; just then Hinata realized that she wasn't wearing anything covering her upper body and began to grow red.
"KYAAAAAH" Hinata shouted in embarrassment as she jumped up and hid behind Haku who was too stunned to even protest.
"Well… she seems to be fine" Naruto said before his vision began to get blurry "h-hey guys"; everyone looked at Naruto who's head began to sway from side to side. "I-I-I" Naruto stuttered out "aw crap".
This was the last thing Naruto said before he passed out and everything went dark.
Ok another chapter done; I hope you all enjoyed it. So yeah, Naruto has Tenzo's heart, Hinata has one of Naruto's old hearts and Sasuke is successfully recaptured; and trust me all this stuff will come up later on down the line. Anyway if you did please like, comment and share with your friends; and until next time bye.
