What A Catch

"So from the scout's reports, the Sanbi rests somewhere around here." Ao said as he pointed to an island on the map. "It's about a day or two away from Kiri."

"Getting there won't be a problem but actually finding the beast itself will." Mei said with frowned as she leaned over the table, much to Naruto's delight. "You would think a beast like the Sanbi's size would be easy to spot."

Naruto groaned as he opened another bottle. "Why did I think this mission was going to be a walk in the park? I really hate hide-n-seek." He took a chug from his bottle making Asuma glare at him.

"I would advise you to take this seriously Naruto. We are talking about a tailed beast not some Iwa shinobi." Asuma gritted out and Naruto just snorted.

"Well at least they didn't hide from me."

"I believe Asuma-san has the right mindset here." Ao said as he placed his hands behind his back. "While weaker than most of the other tailed beast, Yagura used the beast's power to almost completely destroyed the rebel army." His eyes then narrowed. "And I have a feeling Yagura didn't use all of the beast's power."

Naruto raised a single eyebrow. "So exactly how did you kill the Sanbi's handler?"

"I melted him." Mei said with a shrug but sent Kurenai a smirk. "I'm sure there was enough of him to fill a jug." Asuma was surprised to see this sadistic side of the Mizukage while Ao sighed deeply, already use to his Kage's antics. Kurenai only gave her a glare and crossed her arms.

"Sadistic, powerful, and beautiful? What a catch!" Naruto grinned out jokily but got a hard elbow to the side by a glaring Kurenai. "Alright, alright." He mumbled.

"If you guys need an extra hand I could always send out a few of my men." Mei offered. She was the only one in village to have ever fought the Sanbi and lived. However the beast was under the great control of her predecessor. "It would be a shame if any of you were to die."

Naruto scoffed as he peered into his bottle. "I wouldn't really worry about us. It's going to be a piece of cake." He shook the bottle and downed the remaining liquid. "Now are we done here? There's a bar with my name on it."

Asuma and Ao glared. "Show some respect to the Mizukage, brat!" Asuma growled as his cig hung loosely from his mouth. "You are representing Konoha and I will not allow a disrespectful drunk brat on this team!"

"I'm proud of you Sarutobi-chan. It took five whole days for you to show that you have a pair." Naruto grinned as he began to walk to the door. "Oh and for future reference, being drunk is not in my nature. We'll leave at sunrise tomorrow."

Asuma clenched his fists before letting out a tired sigh. "I'm so sorry Mizukage-sama about his behavior." He began but Mei chuckled and shook her head.

"There's no need for apologies. He is quite the interesting character. So confident and laid back with his abilities." She grinned sensually. "I'm very curious about his strength."

Asuma scoffed but was generally surprised when Kurenai scoffed as well but with a wide smirk on her face. "Naruto-kun is the strongest shinobi I know." She said rather proudly and arrogantly earning a raised eyebrow from Mei and a jaw drop from Asuma. "He might even be stronger than the Yondaime Hokage."

Asuma couldn't believe what he was hearing. 'N-No way! K-Kurenai-chan doesn't believe that-that idiot could be better than the Yondaime.'

"Such a strong accusation Kurenai-san." Ao said with narrowed eyes. "But I highly doubt that boy is stronger than the Yondaime Hokage. May I remind you that he single handedly killed a battalion of Iwa shinobis, hence earning the title "The Yellow Flash."

Kurenai shrugged her shoulders. "Why don't you come with us tomorrow to see his strength for yourselves. Everyone." Kurenai said with a small nod and vanished in a cloud of smoke. Mei looked at the spot the crimson eyed goddess once stood as a small smile came to her face.

'Maybe I'll take you up on that offer.'

-(With Sakura)-

After settling their stuff inside the hotel Sakura, Ino, and a hesitant Saya decided to explore the village maybe learn about Kiri's history and interact with the locals. Well actually that would've happened if Ino didn't see the biggest clothing store she has ever saw in her life.

"How bout this!?" The blonde said happily as she popped out of the dressing room in a baby blue lingerie set. Sakura rolled her eyes as she searched through the clothing racks. Saya blushed a bit as she looked at Ino's flawless body and quickly looked away. "Oh come one guys. I need some sort of an opinion!" Ino whined.

Sakura scoffed as she pulled out a rose colored top. "I don't even know why you need a lingerie set Ino-pig."

"Well unlike you, I'm a girl who likes to feel sexy." Ino countered as she placed her hand on her hips. Sakura just rolled her eyes again. "Besides it looks so fucking sexy on me!" She did a little twirl and looked towards the third female. "Right Saya?"

Saya just nodded quietly, a blush still present on her face. The pale girl's eyes were fixated on another lingerie set, this time in black. Ino raised an eyebrow and followed the quiet kunoichi's gaze before a devious smirk came to her face. "So it seems like I'm not the only one wanting to look sexy." The blonde surprisingly whispered next to Saya's ear.

"U-Um, I-I-" Saya tried to say only for Ino to giggle in her face.

"It's okay Saya." Ino then walked over and got the set. "Why don't you try it on?" Ino urged and Saya's blush darken. 'Damn she is so innocent! She's almost as bad as Hinata!'

"I-I don't think I should I-Ino-san." Saya stuttered out quickly yet her eyes remained on the piece of clothing.

Ino rolled her eyes and shoved the set into Saya's hands. "It ain't gonna kill ya!" She then practically shoved the Root kunoichi into the changing room. Ino paused and thought for a moment before she too quickly went inside the same room.

"Ino-san!" Saya exclaimed in a way which contrasted with her usually reserved personality.

Ino shushed the girl. "Geez don't be so loud."

"W-What are you doing in h-here Ino-san?" Saya asked as she backed into the wall.

Ino walked forward and poked the girl in the forehead, giving Saya a playful smirk. "What does it look like dumbass? I'm helping you." She then placed her hands on her hips. "I don't think you know how these little babies work." She grabbed the lingerie set and swung it in her hand.

Saya gave her a confused look as the blush died down a bit. 'The books never said anything about this.' "Um Ino-san, do other girls do this?"

Both of Ino eyebrows raised. "Yeah of course they do, that's what friends are for."

"We are…friends?"

Ino gave her a smirk. "Well duh. I'm always up for making new friends besides you're on Naruto-kun's team. Now strip!"

'Naruto?' Saya thought before the rest of Ino's words registered in her brain. "N-Nani?"

Ino wanted to slap her forehead. "For fucks sake! Just do it!" Ino said in annoyance and Saya gulped before nodding slowly. She took a shaking hand up and unzipped her jacket allowing her breast freedom.

Ino couldn't help but admire her pale skin and light pink nipples. The thought of holding and feeling them harden under her touch passed through the blonde's head. In fact, she felt herself getting slightly turned on. Saya then grabbed the waist band of her shorts and started to pull them down. A hand quickly reached out and stopped her.

"Allow me." Ino said in a sensual whisper.

Saya was in shocked but couldn't stop herself from nodding. Ino smiled and pulled down the pale girl's shorts and underwear in one go. 'What's happening? This is the same feeling I get when I think of Naruto.' Saya thought confusingly to herself.

"There we go." Ino said with a smile as she looked Saya up and down with a hungry look. "Here." She then handed Saya the black lingerie set. Saya gave Ino one last look before putting on the lingerie. Of course she needed help in a few places which Ino was more than happy to obliged and allowed her hands to linger a bit.

"So how do you like it?" The blonde asked as they both stood in the mirror. Saya bit her lip as she ran her hands through the material.

"I'd say you both look very sexy." A voice called out and both girls quickly swung around to see a smirking Naruto leaning against a wall. "Hell you two look very delicious." He chuckled and took a swig of his drink.

"N-Naruto!" Ino said in surprise as Saya quickly tried to cover her breast with a dark blush on her face. "How they hell did you get in here?!"

Naruto chuckled again and walked up to Ino. "Teleportation does wonders." He then tapped his nose. "Plus I could smell your arousal easily." He then looked at Saya with a grin. "Both of you."

Ino rolled her eyes before grinning and placed a hand on his chest. "Well now what Uzumaki? You got us cornered inside a dressing room. I wonder what kind of thoughts are running through your head." Another hand slowly made its way inside Naruto pants. Saya blushed and was in shocked by her actions

The demon growled as Ino's hand wrapped around him. "That depends Ino. Do you want to get fucked stupid in a dressing room in Kiri? I believe I saw the 'Virgin Billboard' out there." Naruto grinned out as he referred to his pink haired teammate.

Ino just huffed and sank down to her knees. "Forehead is the least of my worries." She then pulled down his pants freeing his growing shaft. "I have something bigger to deal with." She then placed him in her mouth.

Naruto groaned as he placed a hand on her head. "Straight to business I see?" He took another swig as Ino swirled her tongue around his tip. "Dammmn Ino."

Ino sucked on his shaft and jerked the rest the she couldn't fit. She felt herself getting wet as the thought of Naruto filling her came into her mind. She moaned before reaching down with her other hand into her underwear.

Saya watched the two in fascination as she squirmed. Her core was begging to be touched and before she knew it, her hands were traveling downwards. Naruto looked up and made eye contact with Saya. She moaned as red tinted her cheeks. Her hands went faster in her and Naruto found the sight to be absolutely irresistible.

He beckoned the Root kunoichi over with a hand. She came next to him and the demon grabbed her by her waist, pulling her close to him. "Join in on the fun." He simply said before mashing their lips together.

Saya moaned as her lips molded with his. She hesitantly reached out and rubbed his muscular chest while her other hand ran through his hair. Naruto's hand traveled down and gripped her ass earning another moan from the quiet kunoichi.

Ino looked up and saw the two sucking each other's lips. She quickly sped up her actions and Naruto's groan echoed around the room. Naruto then pulled Ino up to him as he drank the last of his bottle. "I know a better place than this." And with a mischievous all three of them disappeared in a flash of light with only the bottle as their evidence.

"Hey Ino-pig, Saya? Are you guys in there?" Sakura asked before she knocked a few times. She sighed before opening the door. "Are you guys goo- huh?" She looked around the empty room before a glass bottle caught her eye. She picked up the bottle. "Sake?" She said out loud before clenching her teeth and breaking the bottle. "Son of a bitch!" She then rushed out of the room.

-(With Naruto)-

Naruto fell back on the bed with a slight grunt before laying up on his arms. Ino stood with a hungry look while Saya's eyes were fixated on his hardened shaft. "Two against one?" Naruto said with a chuckle and Ino smirked.

"I hope that won't be too much for you." She taunted and Naruto returned her expression.

"Nothing is too much for me."

Ino huffed and turned towards the other kunoichi. "Well what do you say Saya. Let's teach this bastard not to be so fucking cocky." Saya's blush never faded but she gave Ino a confused look. Suddenly Ino grabbed her cheeks and mashed their lips together. Saya eyes widened in surprise as she felt Ino's lips massage her own.

'Her lips are so soft.' Saya thought as she felt Ino's tongue beg for entrance. She opened her mouth and both kunoichi's tongue battled for dominance with Ino being the victor. Saya moaned into Ino mouth as she felt the blonde's hands rub her body before they settled on her breasts. Ino's hand slid under the top and gave Saya's nipples a pinch.

Ino managed to push Saya against the wall before breathing became a necessity. Ino quickly took her mouth of Saya's and started to lick and nip along her neck. "Mmmm Ino-san." Saya moaned as Ino hands got rough and squeezed her breast. Ino sucked hard against Saya's neck knowing it was going to leave a mark.

Saya brought a shaking hand up to grip Ino head and threw her head back in pleasure as Ino slid a hand down into her bottoms. Ino let go of Saya's neck with a wet plop admiring her work before reconnecting their lips. Ino removed Saya's top with a flick of her fingers and pushed a finger into her heated core.

Saya moaned loudly at the insertion which Ino greedily swallowed. The blonde began to pump her finger into Saya's heat soon adding a second finger which Saya responded with a louder moan. Using her instincts, Saya reached behind and unclipped Ino's bra. Ino took no time and pressed her chest tight against Saya's.

Ino pumped into Saya faster causing the girl to squirm against the wall. Another body pressed up against Ino's ass earning a smirk from the female blonde. "Don't tell me you forgot lil ole' me." Naruto said with a grin as he kissed along Ino's neck. "They say three's a party."

Saya couldn't focus as Ino's hand moved faster in her. "Ahh more I-Ino! I'm so c-close!" She moaned loudly as she felt her release building up. Her body heaved heavily and Saya knew so was near sweet release until Ino's hand quickly removed themselves. "Wha-"

Suddenly Saya found herself on the bed with something hot and wide pressed against her entrance. Her moans soon turned into screams of pleasure as Ino licked away at her entrance. "It's fun to be me." Naruto said with a grin as he quickly ripped away Ino's bottom before mashing himself in her. His hands tightly gripped Ino's hips. The bed began to rock softly against the wall as the sounds of skin-slapping, moans and grunts echoed in the room.

-(Somewhere in Mizu)-

"Konan-chan!" Tobi whined before he was wrapped in paper. "Well this is no fun." Came his muffled reply before he phased through the paper coffin. "Why does Konan-chan hate Tobi? Tobi is a good boy!"

Konan closed her eyes and took in a deep breath knowing that their leader would be disappointed if she killed him. They were running low on members as is. "Do not call me that." She said impassively for the umpteenth time. "Now quiet our spy approaches."

Both Akatsuki members stood still as a lone shinobi jumped down from his perch on a tree. "How many cloud does it take to make a utopia?" Konan said reciting their codephrase.

"9 sacrifices to make the perfect one." The shinobi said with a bow and Konan nodded at him.

"Your report."

"The Sanbi is located on the coast of Kuchiyose no Shima (Summoning Island), just north of Kiri." The shinobi reported and Konan sighed internally knowing that she has to deal with her idiot partner for a while longer.

"Any Kiri-nin involved?" She asked as she felt a headache coming along.

The shinobi shook his head. "No the Mizukage requested the assistance of Konoha." Konan raised a single eyebrow. Tobi giggled.

"Tree huggers! Tree hugger! All Kono-nin hug trees!" He sang out as he danced around the small clearing.

Konan refused the urge to twitch her eyebrows and the shinobi just coughed in his hands. "Ah yes well the team consists of one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, Sarutobi Asuma, a well-known and power genjutsu mistress Yuhi Kurenai, and the Shi no Gēmu Champion, Uzumaki Naruto. There are also a few chuunins with them."

Konan labeled the first two as unimportant before her eyes briefly widen at the last name. Tobi stopped his dancing and clapped his hands excitingly. "Ohhh we get to grab Sanbi-san AND Kyuubi-san?! Happy day!"

The shinobi shook his head before bowing again and vanishing in a puff of smoke. Konan hummed in thought. 'The Kyuubi jinchuuriki? Itachi said he has gotten stronger over the years but is it wise to try and capture him as well." She began to walk foward as Tobi followed behind her, singing a song out loud. 'I must talk to Nagato about this.'

A lone Sharingan eye narrowed in amusement. 'Kukuku the Kyuubi jinchuuriki is here as well? If Zetsu reports are indeed correct, this little mission might get difficult.'

-(Next Morning: Kiri)—

"This is so troublesome." Shikamaru groaned as he stood at Kiri's entrance. "Even I'm not late." Chouji nodded next to his best friend as he chewed on a meat stick.

Asuma leaned on the wall as he clenched and unclenched his fist. Still in shock from Kurenai's proclamation the night before, the Jounin couldn't help but feel more disdain towards the one guy she had her eyes on. Said kunoichi was leaning on another wall will an annoyed expression on her face 'Seriously what's so special about that brat anyways? It's not like he's faithful or cares about her feelings. She's just another hole for him to fill.'

He was broken out of his thoughts by the arrival of a panting Sakura. "Sorry I was late Asuma-sensei. The people above me last night were too damn loud with their activities." She said with an eye-roll before looking around. "Where the hell are Saya, Ino-pig, and the idiot?"

As if summoned all three of them appeared in a flash of light. Naruto adjusted his glasses and wiped of the imaginary dirt off his pants. "Damn you guys are early." He said with a grin before he was bopped on the head by a pouting Ino.

"Asshole! You said we won't be late." The blonde female said and Naruto flashed her a smirk.

"Well if you hadn't spent 30 fucking minutes just getting dressed we might have made it on time." he demon said before looking around. "Hey now don't give me that look, at least we're here." Ino just 'hmph' and walked over to her teammates and gave then a look that quickly made them shut their mouths.

Asuma clenched his fist before taking a deep breath, knowing Tsunade would not like it if he accidentallyinjured the blonde bastard. "Now that everyone is here," Naruto just flashed him a fanged grin. "We are heading towards Kuchiyose no Shima, the last reported sight of the Sanbi. We are dealing with a Biju here, so I expect everyone to be serious. Any childish behavior may and might get you killed." He said as he directed his gaze to a certain three people.

Ino and Saya, the latter with a thin blush, immediately nodded. Naruto only rolled his eye as his eyes rolled over to a certain Crimson-eyed beauty. She caught his gaze before looking away impassively earning a frown from the blonde demon. 'Am I getting the cold shoulder?'

'Don't look at him, Kurenai. Don't look at that shaggy blonde hair or the stupid fucking beard." Kurenai thought to herself as she felt his burning gaze. 'Don't show desperation! If he wants to fuck every girl he sees then I can do the same… right?' Steeling her resolve, she looked at her target in the shape of one Sarutobi Asuma. Getting up from her spot on the wall, she walked over and place a hand on the Jounin's arm.

"Shall we begin our journey?" She almost seductively as Asuma looked at her wide-eyed. Unnoticed to them a soft growl escaped the lips of Naruto before he let out a quiet chuckle. "Time is of the essence." She said with a smirk as she let her eyes linger on his form before walking out of the entrance, keeping her ass in his view.

'The hell is happening? Am I dreaming?' Asuma thought as he dumbly stared at Kurenai's figure. He quickly remembered where he was and cleared his throat. "Uh right, just like Kurenai-chan said we need to get a move on." Everyone else but Naruto nodded while the demon just gave the man a grunt before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a flask.

Sakura stopped walking and looked at the surprisingly small object in his hand. She then gave the demon a look. "So exactly who are you and what have you done with my real idiot teammate."

Naruto raised an eyebrow before taking a swig. "It's called travel size, woman. besides I have this and my two emergency bottles." Sakura rolled her eyes while Saya let out a small giggle.

"I hope you guys were not going to leave without me." A voice called out and group turned around to see a smirking Mei. She walked forward till she was right up to Naruto, trying to peer into his shades. "I hope that won't be a problem." She said with a sensual smirk and Naruto grinned.

"Well I'm surprised by your presence Mei-chan."

"Well Kurenai-san said a few things about you that peaked my interest in your…strength." Mei held in a chuckle as she felt the burning glare of a few females.

'Oh this mission is going to be fun.' Was the only thought going through Naruto's head.

-(Somewhere in Kaminari no Kuni)—

"Ow, ow…SHIT!" A body flew into multiple trees as his partner looked at him with annoyance.

"You just had to insult her, didn't you?" His partner said from his seated position on a tree.

The male body got up as it removed an impaled branch. "Well she was fucking acting like a stuck-up bitch who hides behind her pussy village walls. Sorry for fucking calling it out like a man. At least I'm not cowering behind a tree like a lil' bitch!"

His partner rolled his multi-colored eyes. "I'm not trying to die like an idiot." He deadpanned.

A roar was heard. "Hey shut the fuck up!" The male called out to their opponent before facing his partner. "Bro you know we're fucking immortal, right?" He dodged a flaming blue paw and swung his large scythe. "Like we literally cannot die."

"I know what immortality means you idiot but I don't want to take any risks. Now hurry the fuck up!"

The male jumped over another paw and mange to nick the cheek of the blonde female inside the flaming blue cloak. He landed on one knee and chuckle as he licked the blood that stayed on his large weapon. "Thank you Jashin-sama for the wonderful gift." He said as his skin begin turned black and he closed his eyes. "I shall repay you with multiple sacrifices." He prays as he made a circle in the dirt. "As for you lil' pussy-cat, let's see how you stand against the power of Jashin-sama!"

-(Next day: Northern coast of Mizu)-

"There it is, Kuchiyose no Shima." Mei said with a with a small smile. The group gazed at the large landmass that was faintly seen in the distance. "It's a popular site for our more science-inclined nins so I'm sure there's a boat of some sort that can take us across."

"With our large group I highly doubt it." Shikamaru said with a groan which earned a bop on the head by Ino. "Though I suppose drowning would be a better option than dealing with this troublesome female." He muttered.

"What was that lazy-ass!?"

"Maybe there's a little port somewhere along the coast. We should keep moving till we find one." Asuma said and Kurenai smiled at him.

"It reminds me of that mission we took in our genin days." She said with a soft chuckle which Asuma returned.

"You mean the one where I was almost seafood."

"And sensei had to practically fish you out if the beast's stomach." Both Asuma and Kurenai let out a quick chuckle much to Naruto's surprised distain.

-(Flashback: Last night)—

Naruto leaned against a tree as he watched Kurenai put up her tent next to Asuma's. He took a quick swig from his flask and pocketed it before walking over to her. Asuma must've told a joke because Kurenai was laughing but Naruto knew it was fake. Why she did this, the demon did not know. "Kurenai-chan do you mind if I speak with you for a sec."

The crimson-eyed beauty crossed her arms and gave him a look. "Is there something wrong, Naruto?" She said and Naruto frowned slightly. 'Stay cool Kurenai, he needs to learn.'

'No Naruto-kun huh? Oh boy let's see how this plays out.' Naruto thought as he gazed towards a curious Asuma. "Why don't we go somewhere private hmm?" Naruto said surprisingly softly and shot her a fanged grin. Kurenai's resolve broken a bit and she nodded slightly. Naruto's grin widened while Asuma shot him a glare.

Once they were away from prying eyes and ears Naruto let out a chuckle. "Alright so what did I do?"

Kurenai crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "I have no idea what you mean." But of course she did and Naruto knew that too.

"Really?" Came his simple reply before she was backed against a large tree, trapped between his arms. His shades somehow disappeared so she gazed into his pitch-black eyes. Their bodies was mashed against one another and Kurenai found herself struggling to keep up her facade. "So I don't have to feel challenged by some guy and his shit beard right?"

Kurenai bit her lip as she felt a certain anatomy brush against her nether regions. "A-And why would you feel threatened? B-Because I have interest in someone else. Because maybe I feel like my love for you is brushed aside so that you can fuck other women. Because I feel like I'm just another hole for you to fuck! Maybe I want to rekindle my feelings with Asuma because at least he cares about my feelings and as the balls to return my love!"

Naruto remained quiet as she ranted and even backed up. Kurenai felt herself tearing up before she left the clearing and Naruto. Seeing her retreating figure the demon sighed sadly or maybe annoyance, he didn't know. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his flask before downing the entire contents.

"Well shit."

-(Flashback ends)-

If there's one thing Naruto hated feeling it was guilt and jealousy. He wasn't wrong when he told her that his feelings for her exceed those he felt for other women. 'I'll be damned if she fucks that prick!' He resisted the urge to touch his emergency drink and sniffed the air. "There's a mini port not far from here." He said before grinning. "And I can feel the Sanbi faintly." 'Good, we're close.'

The group got to the small port with no trouble and the call it a port was almost insulting. It was a small dock with only three boats and a few fishermen lifting their day's catch off. One of the fishermen, an older and heavily beard man looked up at them. His eyes glazed over their headbands. "So ya'll probably seekin' passage to the island?"

Asuma moved to the front of the group and Kurenai stood behind him. "Yes, we are on a mission sent by your Mizukage to solve an animal problem on the island." He said with a straight face and the old man chuckled.

"Oh I know your real reason. The island's spirit is causing quite the scare down in the city so the Kage sent you down to fix it." He stood up and wiped his hands on his pants. "Well you're in luck me and my son are heading out that way." A younger fisherman shot the group a small smile and blushed as he gazed over the women in the group.

Naruto smirked. "You guys don't seem to be afraid of this little spirit, unlike your friends."

The younger fisherman laughed. "I just follow what Pa tells me. If you don't mess with the spirit, they won't mess with you. Now I can fit just a few in my boat the rest would have to go on Pa's." Kurenai quickly brushed passed Naruto and stepped inside the younger fisherman's boat. Asuma went to quickly follow her and Naruto just rolled his eyes.

'Kami, what a little asshole.' He stayed back and allowed everyone to get in a boat before he took a seat next to Mei. He reached inside his pocket and pulled out his emergency flask. 'Soon I'll be closer to my goal though I see an upcoming difficulty.' Naruto thought as he focused on Kurenai's back.

"Is everything alright Naruto-kun?" Mei asked softly and Naruto turned to her. "I sense some tension between you and Kurenai-san." Naruto grunted as he took a swig.

"I guess you can say that."

The two boats slowly drifted towards the island as it got bigger and bigger. Everybody was chatting among themselves as Naruto meditated or so they thought.

-(Inside Naruto's Mindscape)—

"Ugh for fuck sake." Naruto grumbled as he waded through the sewer like area. "I thought I changed this piece of shit." As if spoke to the area glowed before it turned into a dark prison. "Ehh not what I was thinking but it's better than nothing." He walked down a pair of stairs as the area got darker and darker.

"You little parasite! I can't wait for the day that we meet so that I can destroy and devour you!" A voice boomed out and Naruto rolled his now blue eyes.

"Yeah, yeah I heard it all before." He then grinned. "Just tell me where you're hiding and maybe I can arrange a meeting." He walked up a to a chained and locked door with a tiny eye hole. The voice growled behind the door before a laugh boomed around the area.

"You have no idea what becomes of you, parasite! Where your fate takes a turn for the worse! You'll never defeat HIM! Not even your pathetic God could kill HIM! What makes you think that you have the power? Hmm parasite, not even of real demon blood!"

"Ouch bro, that hurts you think so low of me." Naruto said, his grin remained on his face. "Besides our little friend high in the sky lacks the evil in her to kill him. I however have no problem killing, hell I enjoy it." The voice growled before banging on the cage and Naruto chuckled. "My, someone's a little pissy. See something in the future you didn't like."

"Mock me all you want, leech! Your downfall is near and it will bring me the up most joy when I foresee it!"

Naruto yawned, being bored of the conversation until he shivered and let out an evil chuckle. "Well if it happens, please spare no details." The voice growled deeply. "However I have to cut this conversation short. I'm hungry for some sushi."

-(Outside of Naruto's Mindscape)—

"Wow the island is so big." Sakura said in awe and the older fisherman chuckled.

"Aye but she's a beauty. We should be there in the next few minutes." He said as he rowed the boat the help of Chouji. Naruto took in a deep breath before standing up and startling those inside the boat. "You good son?" The old man asked.

Naruto popped a few joints before taking out his flask and taking a long swig. "The Sanbi is below us." He said simply as he wiped his mouth and Mei raised a curious eyebrow.

"And how can you be so sure of that?"

Naruto grinned showing his fangs. "Simple, I can sense it. He sleeping as of now but I'm going to give him that best wake-up call of his life." He adjusted his glasses and before Mei could ask any more questions, the demon dived into the water.

"What the hell!?" Asuma proclaimed and Kurenai eyes widen. The fishermen stopped and both looked over into the water. "What the hell is he thinking!?"

"I have no idea Asuma-san but I think it would be smart for us to quickly get to the shore." Mei instructed and both fishermen gave her a look. The younger one looked over at his father who gave a small nod and both kept on rowing.

'Why am I worried? Like I have a bad feeling about something.' Kurenai couldn't help but think to herself. Once they got to the shore the group quickly got out of both boats. At the same time the ground shook violently. The nins manage to keep on their feet thanks to chakra but the two fishermen fell to the ground.

A muffled roar was heard in the distance. "Father-"

Boooom

Water was thrown everywhere and everybody had to cover their face. A soft but loud growl was heard and the group gazed upon a large turtle with a crab-like shell and three shrimp-like tails.. It had a pair of human-like arms and hands, but no hind-legs. Both of his eyes were closed and the chakra it emitted alone made the group sweat while Mei had flashback to the Civil War. As for the two fishermen, they hightailed out of the area.

A lone figure sat on top of the large turtle's head. He threw his now empty flask in the ocean below him before standing up with a wide grin. "Ladies and gentlemen I finally present you with the Sanbi!" Hearing its name the beast opened a single eye and roar to the heavens.

So yeah not any action at all this chapter but I promise you the next chapter will have all the action and death we've been waiting for. Don't wprry I'll try to get the next one up as fast as my fingers can type.

So as usual, until next time.
