Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Eyes piercing the darkness ❯ Leaf destruction part 1: The decisive battle begins ( Chapter 14 )
[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
Okay, time to get going and get ready for the next long chapter. This is going to be the first chapter in the leaf destruction arc, which will probably take about two chapters to finish, mostly because there are many different points that I want to get across during this arc, one of which being the story of the Orochi and Gaara's awakening. Also, Raizen isn't the only person who is going to go through a drastic change during the exams. There are is another person who will change heavily through all of it. Don't try guessing, you won't guess right. Now for the references.
Breath of fire 4: For those of you who played the game, you know that Fou-lu held a very strong detest for humanity. He hated them and tended to favor animals over them. One of the bonds he created after freeing a beast from a dark curse drove the beast to sacrifice it's own life to help him progress, which is where JJ's ability to speak with animals is derived from. Also, JJ started to speak in old english when he was pushed into Fou-lu's persona, another direct draw from Breath of fire. As well as the term "endless" which is what trhe dragon were refered to, pretty much considering them gods.
Sonic the hedgehog: For those of you who read my omake, and the character introduction corner you would know this already, but if there are two things I could drag from my childhood with me at anytime, it's Sonic and Megaman. Two characters that I have the fondest memories of as a kid. Along with franchise above of course. Raizen is heavily inspired by Sonic and at many times I even have him use his speech, however Sonic is still faster.....for now.
Dragon quest 8: This was a rather small reference and I don't think that many people would've noticed it. On the game the king would have a strange habit of appearing out of nowhere, even when it doesn't make sense on how he got there, what with all the monsters in the dungeon and all. Whenever he does this Angus would always hop to the side and say "Cor blimy!" Which is what Mika did when Yubiki suddenly appeared at her side.
Now for something serious, I like writing stories and I love being able to have fun while doing so, however I know that there is a line to avoid and I try my best to avoid that line. However, sometimes I can misstep and if I ever crossed that line for anyone, know that I never meant it in ill will and I promise I'll do my best to not offend anyone. So, Thank you for reading and if any of you are bothered by something tell me and I promise I will fix it, unless it's the way I write because if so then go fuck yourself.
Now that that's out of the way, JJ once again goes out of his way to show everyone how much though he puts into his story and this is going to be a long chapter because of it. However, It will also be a revealing chapter as well, get ready for, Gaara vs team 14, Iruka vs Mizuki, yeah there was a reason I kept him alive, and many many more. Hold on to your seats, because this is going to be a dosey.

Leaf destruction part 1: A decisive battle begins.
Kiba: What the hell is going on?
Kiba asked standing to his feet in a rush, the feathers falling all around him were what seemed be a genjutsu.
Kiba: Yura, we have to move!
He shouted as Akamaru barked at his side to the girl, however Yura never budged, she sat still with her eyes cast to the ground. Suddenly Kiba began to wonder, why hadn't he been effected by the genjutsu? After staring for a while he noticed that the feathers dsintegrated before they could get near Yura.
Kiba: Yura, what are you-?
Yura: It's called chakra neutralization, I can completely suppress chakra within my range or even just to my choosing.
She said finally looking up at him, Kiba smiled and walked over to Yura.
Kiba: That's good, that means you can stop whatever is happening here.
Before Kiba could get any closer, Yura's hand flew past his face and after about two second, blood began to drip from a newly made scar. Yura smiled at Kiba as she slowly pulled her hand back.
Yura: Sorry Kiba-kun, but I'm not the one in danger here.
Kiba couldn't breath, it was as if time had stopped around him, however, Yura could still move. He didn't even notice that Yura's foot was coming for the side of his head. Once the hit connected Kiba was sent flying back over the stands, Yura's strength must have been monstrous. Akamaru struggled to keep up with his master, pumping his tiny legs as fast as they could go.
Yura: Are you already done?
She asked as she perched at the edge of one of the seats, staring down at Kiba as her eyes glowed like a cat's eyes in the dead of night. Kiba fought with himself as he pushed his arms to lift his body, but even that proved meaningless. Kiba frowned and cursed under his breath as Yura showed her fangs, some of which she had never shown.
Yura: Do you know anything of the woren clan?
She asked as if trying to give Kiba time to gain his stand once again.
Yura: They were a clan of demons that looked like humans with feline characteristics. However, their pyshical strength and natural balance drawfed that of a human's. They were natural ninja, however, they strayed away from that lifestyle. Do you know why?
Kiba didn't give an answer, he simply tried to pull himself up.
Yura: Because the humans were too scared to contract them, you see, a human under contract with a demon gives them right to slay humans, but if the demon does so on it's own, they will be struck down by the gods. Because the humans feared the worens, they were never given the leeway to attack humans as they pleased. However, human blood flows in my veins, so I remain unaffected by those laws.
A single kick sent the girl flying at Kiba, who still couldn't grasp what was going on, or truthfully he could, but he didn't want to believe it.
Kiba: Yura, you shouldn't be fighting me, their are enemy ninja around.
Even Kiba couldn't believe what he was saying, he knew what was coming next, but he didn't want to hear. He closed his eyes as Yura turned her back on him.
Yura: I am with those enemy ninja.
Kiba slowly opened his eyes, not fully, but just enough to see the ground.
Kiba: So I was a tool to you?
Yura: Yes.
She said looking away from him. Kiba growled and snapped up to his feet, Yura quickly turned around just in time to stop his claws from reaching her.
Kiba: So you were using me all along!
Yura: You got a problem with that?
She shouted back, pushing all of her weight back on Kiba, easily overpowering him. Kiba fell back and charged once again after the girl, sending a flurry of swipes at her that she fluidly managed to dodge. Kiba called after Akamaru, right now his taijutsu alone wasn't enough to take the girl. However, Kiba's chakra failed him, he couldn't summon it, let alone give enough for Akamaru to change.
Yura: Didn't you hear me earlier, fighting with me is a battle where jutsu aren't allowed. I can stop any type of chakra attack, and besides, I already know every weakness of you ninjutsu anyway.
She said before slamming her fist into Kiba's chest, knocking him back into a pillar. Kiba closed his eyes and slowly rose them back up just in time to see the girl's fist coming for him once again. Quickly rolling out of the way Kiba made his way down the isleways, trying to get out of the girl's range, however with her cat-like agility, she simply chased him by jumping from the top of the seats. Each time gaining on Kiba.
Kiba: Taijutsu's the only way to go, huh?
He asked mostly to himself before spinning around into a high kick. Yura smiled and flipped over it, effortlessly sending a reverse spin kick back at the boy, crashing the heel of her foot into his face. Kiba flew back through the seats and crashed against the back wall as Yura landed from her attack gracefully on the top of the seat behind her.
Yura: You must really suck at fighting when you can't use little Akamaru-kun to help you.
Kiba: Grrrrrr.
Yura: You're gonna growl, huh? Guess that means you're pretty mad.
Kiba: Why?
Yura: ......I was never your ally to begin with.
Kiba: Then why me?
Yura frowned and jumped from the seat before shouting.
Yura: You think I planned meeting you? I didn't even plan on being seen until I tripped, but then you forced your way into my life. You didn't even give me a chance to stop you. You brought this on yourself, if it hurts then you're to blame not me!
Kiba: Yura.
Yura: You don't know what it's like. I was always alone, I've never had anyone even care about me, I was ostrisized and attacked, the only way I could live was by leaving the village, but I had to eat and there weren't many wild animals where I lived. They let my mom die because of me, she died of a simple cold. Something that simple medicine could've helped with, but I couldn't lower her fever. When she wasn't there anymore they drove me from my home, even though we didn't even live in their village. They just wanted me gone. Orochimaru-sama freed me from them. He saved me from that life.
Kiba: Orochimaru?
Yura: Yeah, I work for a really scary man, and with my own eyes I saw what happened to people who don't do what he says. I'd rather be fighting thousands of your villagers than a pissed off Orochimaru.
Kiba was stunned once he saw the look in the girl's eyes.
Kiba: Are you afraid of him?
Yura: He's scary, but it sure beats the hell I used to live in. Have you ever felt that?
Kiba: I never needed to, You don't either, you don't have to work for him.
Yura: Hehe, I knew you'd say that. Maybe if I'd met you sooner, where were you when I was being attacked? I would've....been happy to be with you.
She said with a sad smile casting her eyes to the ground while speaking.
Yura: I might have even liked this place, I wouldn't have to feel this way. Kiba.....
She said looking away from the boy again, her words and Kiba's actions made Akamaru calm down, but he couldn't seem to understand what was happening, humans were complicated.
Yura: I shouldn't have fallen for you.
Kiba's eyes went wide, he wanted to stop her, but he couldn't, all he could do was watch her as she walked to the banister of the stadium.
Yura: Please don't die.
Was thing last thing she said, knocking Kiba from his stupor.
Kiba: Yura wait!
He shouted. Yura didn't budge, she flipped onto the roof and ran over to the red-headed girl in front on her.
Yura: Is the sheild in place Nee-chan?
Tayuya: How many times have I told you not to call me that you little shit. And don't ask me that like I don't know handle to handle my fucking job.
Yura: Right, sorry.
She said with a smile.
Tayuya: Remember that your job is to keep the anbu off of me!
Yura: I return your own words back to you.
She said with a smile as the ninja in front of her closed in.
Anbu: Hogake-sama!
He called out as he and his comrades closed in on the sheild. They leapt over Yura, seeing her as no threat, however, time seemingly stopped when they passed her. Their chakra had all, but vanished. One to her left, two to her right, numbers didn't matter at the moment, they had been stripped of their chakra and completely off guard thanks to the girl. Yura's foot flew into the face of the one on her left and then quickly over into the chest of the one to her right. In one swift movement she sent her leg back up into the stomach of the third ninja to her right. As time resumed all ninja were sent flying from the roof of the chunin exams stadium.
Yura: Sorry, but this is a closed arena, only the special guest can enter here.
She said with cold eyes, Tayuya whistled back at the girl's handiwork.
Tayuya: Not bad pip-squeak.
Yura: You haven't seen anything yet, and please don't call me pip-squeak nee-chan.
Tayuya: Don't call me nee-chan, brat!!
Kiba stared at the spot Yura was standing in as he watched Naruto start running after the two fighters who had left the stage, followed shortly after by JJ and Mika. Choji ran over to him and stopped once he saw the look on his face, not leaving the time to be troubled Choji called out to him.
Choji: Kiba, we have to move.
Kiba: I know!!!!!!!!!!
He growled as if using Choji to vent his frustrations. Kiba caught himself and looked back at the look of shock on Choji's face before saying.
Kiba: Sorry, you're right, we need to move.
He said as he ran up to Choji and cast one more look back at where the girl stood.
Kiba: Let's go Akamaru.
Akamaru: Arf.
His familiar barked to him before following at his pace.
[Neji]
Ishi: Wake up.
His girlfriend called out to him as she dispeled the genjutsu he had fallen under. Neji slowly opened his eyes just in time to see Naruto darting off from the stadium.
Neji: What's going on?
He asked as he sat up, completely unguarded. in an instant he completely assessed the situation and turned sharply to block a kunai flying for his head. After deflecting the kunai he locked on to the person who had thrown it and with only a flick of his wrist he managed to grab the kunai and hurl it back into it's owner's neck.
Neji: It seems we're under attack.
Ishi: Well we have been for the last few minutes while you were taking nap.
She said wearing a serious expression rare for the happy-go-lucky girl. Neji grabbed tightly onto her hand before making his way through the isles, ignoring the battle going on around them. Ishi looked around, there were so many people being thrown around yet, Neji seemed to be guiding him through effortlessly.
Ishi: Wait, where are we going?
She asked her the boy in front of her as he stopped and scanned the entire area before answering.
Neji: I need to get you somewhere safe.
Ishi snatched her hand from Neji and frowned.
Ishi: What are you talking about!?
She shouted to the boy who sharply turned back to her.
Neji: You are a princess, you can't be caught in a battle like this, once I find a safe place for you to hide I will return to the fight.
Ishi: Then hide with me.
Neji: I can't do that.
Ishi: My thoughts exactly. Neji, I love you and I know you feel the same way, but there's a difference between protecting and sheltering me. I am a princess, but right now I'm a shinobi of the leaf village. I fight with you, or else there's no point in me even being here. Or being worthy of the Hyuuga clan's genius. Right?
She said with a warm smile, Neji sighed and smiled back before he caught sight of something flying for Ishi. Neji ran for her, but failed to reach in time before a solid spear could pierce the girl's back.
Neji: Ishi-hime!
He shouted a blood curling scream. Ishi however just smiled as her body burst into hundreds of tiny snakes and they fell to the ground. In almost second the snakes closed the distance between themselves and the sound ninja that had thrown it. The snakes leapt from the floor and wrapped around the ninja's neck before they from back into Ishi, who span to the back of the ninja and slammed her feet into his back, knocking him into the air. Before the ninja could recover Ishi slammed a thick snake into his chest and forming a fracture with his back from the impact. Once the ninja dropped another jumped from behind her and much to his surprise a flame appeared between him and the girl. The flame burned, but not enough to kill him. Once his eyes reopened he saw a snake coming straight for his face, the collision sent him spinning back at which time Ishi slammed her snake into his back and cracked the ground under her, not only that, the impact managed to send the man through the floor.
Ishi: I'm not as weak as I once was.
She said causing another ninja to freeze at her side. She formed into the many tiny snakes again and latched her fangs onto the ninja's arms before flipping him backwards. Ishi let go and returned to her normal form before locking her eyes on the man and blasting him back through the stone support beams on the arena. Ishi turned around to Neji and said.
Ishi: Choji and Kiba are coming.
Neji couldn't even register what the girl had said, he was in shock and awe. By the time he could even think of something Kiba was right behind him.
Kiba: Neji, Ishi, you're alright, come on we have to get moving.
Neji: Yeah.
He replied not really paying attention to what his friend had said. Ishi however just walked up to Neji and pulled him toward the other boys before she asked Kiba.
Ishi: Hey, where is Yura?
Kiba stopped and frowned before he said.
Yura: She's up there.
Ishi: Then why aren't you helping her.
Kiba: .........Because helping her would mean killing you.
He said walking forward. It didn't take long for everyone to gather what that meant. With a heavy sigh they followed behind Kiba, none asking any questions as to the girl or what happened when he found out.
[Lee]
It had been a while since Tenten had woken Lee from his genjutsu induced slumber. She remembered Gai's words before he left off to fight.
[Gai: Tenten, I need to to protect Lee for me, I cannot stay here to look after him, but he is the most important thing in this world to me. Please take good care of him.]
Tenten held tightly onto Lee's arm as she carried him away from the stadium.
Tenten: [I didn't need you to tell me that Sensei.]
She said looking over to Lee as he struggled to keep up with her pace.
Lee: It is okay Tenten, I can walk on my own.
Tenten: You keep saying that, but why haven't I let go yet?
She said in a sarcastic tone that made Lee sigh, both extremely worried about the other. Lee noticed the shinobi quicky coming up on them and looked around. His arm and leg may have been hurt, but his senses hadn't dulled in the slightest.
Lee: Two ninja coming up fast.
Tenten: I know.
She replied as she let Lee down against the wall and awaited the aproaching enemies. Lee frowned at his state and stood back to his feet, if he was going to die then he wasn't going to die laying down. Tenten held off both ninja on her own, but one of the ninja slammed a blade down on her own, leaving her wide open for the other ninja's attack, once she noticed she tried to move, but the ninja she was cashing with simply pressed his weight down on her, stopping her in place. She could feel the blade behind her closing in on her back, and even worse, she could feel the bloodlust the ninja was radiating. She closed her eyes and readied for the strike, but instead of the sound of piercing flesh, came the sound of bones crunching. When she looked back she saw Lee's right foot crashing into the ninja's head, instantly killing him, afterward he placed his crutch firmly on the ground before pushing himself into the air, completely ignoring the pain, before he slammed his right foot into the face of the ninja in the clash with Tenten. Lee landed on the ground and turned back to Tenten as he smiled. Tenten stood in shock before Lee replied.
Lee: What? I'm crippled, not dead.
He said before he started to walk off. Tenten shook her head and smiled at the boy before quickly went over to hold him up again, all the while ignoring his protest. It didn't take long from them to be reunited with the other four of their friends still in the stands. Yubiki stared across on a roof far from the feild, as if waiting for something, not wanting to alert the enemy of her presence until they showed themself. She frowned and tried to hold back the urge to help the "young man" fighting with Orochimaru.
Yubiki: Where are you?
She thought out loud to herself, hoping that the one she sought would soon appear.
[Iruka]
Iruka: Quickly clear the building!
He shouted to the other teachers in the area as they guided the children to the outside. Cursing aloud he ran trough the halls of the academy in search of stragglers. Once he reached the outside he looked around and asked.
Iruka: Is anyone not here?
Natono: Ah, Iruka-sensei, Kana's not here.
The young boy called out to his teacher, without thinking Iruka made his way back into the school frantically looking through the classes once again, until finally he stopped at a door and looked in. A deep frown crossed his face and he slowly walked into the room. With venom he spit out the name of the person he saw.
Iruka: Hello Mizuki.
A smile crossed the face of the man as he held a small girl on his lap, crying as she gazed at her teacher.
Mizuki: It's been a while since I've seen you and this is how you greet me?
He asked with a sickeningly friendly smile as he held a kunai to the arch of the girl's neck.
Mizuki: I just wanted to catch up and ask you some questions, like about little Kana here, Orochimaru-sama has been looking for new hopefuls, do you think she'll do?
Iruka: Let her go Mizuki.
Mizuki: You know, I was never really one to look away when someone wronged me. And I still want to get those two brats back for what they did to me, but right now Gaara's probably doing that for me. I'll just have to settle for the next person on my list. Can you guess who that is?
He asked brining the kunai closer to the girl's neck, gaining a satisfying whelp from her.
Iruka: If this is what you want I won't back down, but let the girl go!
He shouted finally losing the cool mask he had been wearing. Mizuki cleared his face and removed his hand from the girl, giving her the freedom to run to her teacher. With her arms now latched around Iruka she looked back at Mizuki.
Iruka: Run along Kana, go outside and join the others.
Kana: But-
Iruka: This is no place to be right now, just go alright.
He said to the young girl without taking his gaze away from Mizuki. Kana looked at her teacher and nodded before she ran to the outside, looking back many times before she actually made it away.
Mizuki: Isn't that sweet, she was worried about you.
Iruka: It's a sign that you're good teacher, I'm guessing you wouldn't know it.
Mizuki: I guess not.
He said standing to his feet, seemingly growing bigger as he did.
Mizuki: I've waited a long time for this old friend. The day I get to crush that head of yours between my fingers.
Iruka heard a loud roar coming from smewhere further in the village, that must have meant that this wasn't the only big battle going on at the moment. Someone somewhere was having one hell of a battle, but at the moment he had to focus on his own. With each step Mizuki seemed to keep growing until he looked like a giant two legged tiger. As he stalked forth he began to speak.
Mizuki: I'll be sure to make this take as long as possible.
Iruka: Don't rush on my account.
He said as he readied himself for the 15-foot behemoth as he walked closer. Mizuki crashed his fist down for Iruka, who quickly rolled to the side in time to dodge the attack. He didn't know what he was going to do next, but he had to think fast. He quickly dug around in his pouch for something to use so he could buy time. After cycling through everything he had a smile cross his face, he had a plan, but it was going to take some time to set up, time Mizuki wasn't going to give him. Before Iruka could even finish Mizuki latched his hand onto his neck and slammed him up into the ceiling. After a satisifying grunt from the man he quickly span around and hurled him through the wall to the side of them. Iruka was blasted back into the wall of another building and slowly fell to the ground before casting his gaze at the quickly approaching Mizuki. With a smile the man swung his arm down at Iruka before it was deflected by someone's arm, he didn't know what was happening, but soon caught a rough awakening when the arm was accompanied by a foot going up into his chin. Mizuki stumbled back before a quick palm was thrusted into his chest, knocking him back ten feet before he collapsed to his knees. Mizuki looked forward and muc to his surprise there was a young girl standing in front of him.
Hinata: I thought you were dead.
She said with cold eyes. Suddenly she was joined by Kiba, Choji, Neji, Hanabi, Lee, Ishi, and Tenten. Hinata's glare was strange to everyone who saw it, the girl was kind hearted and forgiving, but kidnapping her little sister, throwing her into the hands of a man who wanted to kill her boyfriend and her big brother, which soon led to a race against time for her little sister's life was something that went far beyond the range of forgiveness. Hinata frowned at Mizuki as rage began to fill her, silently hooping that the man would run back after her, which he quickly did. Hinata readied herself as he friends did the same, however Iruka quickly ran past them and jumped to the side of Mizuki before he latched his hands on the side of his face, causing his body to loop around. Iruka gave a loud roar before he slammed his knee into the man's face. Mizuki coughed up blood and Iruka gave him no time to rest before he placed both legs on the man's chest and slammed his elbow down into his face. Before Mizuki could even stumble Iruka tightly closd his fist and punched fiercely down into Mizuki's face, knocking him down to the ground with a massive crash. Iruka flipped back away from Mizuki and cocked an eye back to the children behind him.
Iruka: I'd have to be the worst teacher ever to let me student do the fighting for me. I'm sorry guys, but you're going to have to leave this to me.
He said turning back to Mizuki. Hinata opened her mouth to object, but Iruka lifted a hand to her.
Iruka: Do you know what my most important job is as a teacher?
He asked back to all of his former students.
Iruka: It's to insure the future of Konoha's shinobi. You all may be ninja now, but you are still Konoha's future, this is my fight, but can you please make sure that these children get somewhere safe?
He asked as pointed back to the scared children behind him. Neji placed a hand on Hinata's shoulder and nodded to Iruka.
Neji: We will make sure to do that for you.
Iruka: Thank you.
He replied with a smile. Neji led the team and the children from the school, but Hinata stayed behind before she said in the coldest of voices.
Hinata: If I leave this to you, will you promise me that he will no longer be breathing by the end of the day?
Iruka:......You have may word.
Hinata started to walk away before she said one more thing.
Hinata: You know, if you die Yubiki will kill you.
Iruka: I'm vaguely aware.
He said with a smile as he watched Mizuki rise to his feet.
Mizuki: Nice cheap shot.
He said wiping the blood from his mouth.
Iruka: There are no cheap shots in the world of shinobi.
He said preparing himself after making sure that Hinata had left the battlefeild, which she had. Mizuki charged for his former friend and pulled back his fist, a swift wind brushed passed Iruka face, but nothing made contact with him, Mizuki missed on purpose and Iruka could see why.Mizuki's fist was latched onto the wall behind him and with tremendous force Mizuki dragged the bottom half of his body toward Iruka, who couldn't even dodge before the leg slammed him through the wall. Iruka flew through desks and even another wall before finally coming to a stop. Iruka flipped back to his feet just in time to dodge the massive fist coming down on him. The pain in his chest quickly stinted his movement. At the moment Iruka didn't have the luxury of waiting for the pain to go away and to nurse his wound. A sharp step forward and he was rushing toward Mizuki once again, who pulled a large shuriken from his back and hastily threw it at Iruka. Iruka never slowed down, he just leaned back down to his knees and slid under the shuriken while still gaining distance. Once under the shuriken Iruka swiftly moved his right leg to his left side and sent him into a spin before leaping into the air with a spiral kick to Mizuki's face knocking the massive man down to the ground. Iuka smiled before slapping his hand against the wall.
Mizuki: Iruka!!!!
He shouted as he charged the smaller man and slammed him back into the wall. As he pinned him against the wall he whispered.
Mizuki: You were never anything special, you're just another faceless shinobi with a name.
He said as he reared back and jammed his massive fist into Iruka's stomach.
Mizuki: Tell me, what does imminent death look like?
Iruka looked up to Mizuki and smiled as bad dripped from his mouth.
Iruka: Ugly as all hell.
He said with a chuckle as he looked at Mizuki. Mizuki frowned and roared before he grabbed tightly onto Iruka's neck and slammed him back into the floor.
Mizuki: Why don't we redecorate a little.
He said before lifting and slamming Iruka into every solid thing he could see, walls, chairs, desks, the ceiling, everything in the room was shattered by Iruka's back and each time he hit something, he slapped his hand against it, never once did he stop planning, even when being pounded into the ground. Once his plan was ready Iruka slammed his foot into Mizuki's face and slashed kunai across his wrist, forcing the man to let go. Iruka then ran from the large hole in the wall Mizuki had made before he turned back and smiled.
Iruka: Sorry Mizuki, but this is where you end.
He said holding up and handsign. Mizuki only then noticed all of the explosive tags around then room, Iruka had tricked him into a giant blast chamber.
Mizuki: You son of a bitch!
He shouted as he ran for Iruka once again, and once again, falling for his trap. Iruka pulled a kunai with his left hand and revealed a final tag tied to the ring at the bottom. With a quick jump back he launched the kunai into Mizuki's chest knocking him back into the room. Once the tag on the kunai exploded the entire room was taken with it, then half of the entire building. With a sigh of releif Iruka turned around and began to walk away before quickly pulling his shuriken from his back and spinning it. Iruka turned back as Mizuki jumped from the rubble dripping with blood, from anyone looking the picture looked like a lion pouncing on a lone hunter.Iruka dragging his shuriken upward and ripped through Mizuki's chest. Mizuki roled back to the ground and looked up weakly before Iruka dragged his kunai down across his chest. Multiple swings, each landed on their mark as Iruka ripped Mizuki to shreds. As Mizuki gasped for air Iruka drew back his shuriken and launched it at Mizuki's chest.
Iruka: Chakra link! Slash ripper!
He shouted as chakra blades emerged from the shuriken and ripped deep into Mizuki's chest before blasting him back through into the rubble of the building. Mizuki's eyes gazed emptily at the sky above and cursed aloud, his body wouldn't move anymore, however, he could feel something standing over him.
Mizuki: To think I would lose to you. After everything that I went through, I lost to weakling Iruka.
Iruka: I was never as weak as you thought I was, maybe it was just some illusion that you made up that caused you to lose.
Mizuki: You and Yubiki, you know that it's a fleeting dream.
Iruka: Yeah I know, but I don't think that I want to let that thought go.
Mizuki: And that's what makes you seem so weak.
He said a chuckle that dragged pain through every part of his body.
Iruka: I don't think I hate her anymore, I've spent a lot of time with her, she can be scary, she's really strong, but I've also seen her happy, care-free, and kind. If I had known what happened to Neko back then, I probably would've reacted the same way as her.
Mizuki: So you forgive her?
He asked as if he wasn't dying, both of them waiting until the last moment to talk like friends.
Iruka: I won't forgive what she's done, but I don't hate her.
Mizuki laughed at Iruka again and sighed before saying.
Mizuki: I could'nt forgive her, even if I knew the cause, I had given up so much, that I couldn't just turn back. Maybe I'm weaker than you, the one who was able to forgive. I won't apologize for anything, just make sure that you follow the road you chose until you reach the end, just like I did.
He said before his eyes finally lost all life. Iruka walked away from Mizuki and sghed before he looked up to the sky.
????: It's been a while Yubiki.
Iruka turned back to the origin of the voice and stared in shock, the voice was being projected from everywhere in the village.
Iruka: What the hell is going on?
[Moments before Iruka's fight]
Sasuke stared at Gaara, eyes burning red at the young jinchuuriki. He knew that the others had been slowed down by something, but Gaara didn't care, his prey had walked right in front of him. An appetitizer for the main dish, he could tell that all three of his true goals were coming for him. He also felt the presence of two other coming at him at high speed.
Sasuke: Raizen's on his way. I'll finish this before he can make it.
[Msic que: Arms of sorrow by-Killswitch engage.]
Gaara mind flew around as he looked at Sasuke, quickly flying to his past. He smiled a sickening grin as he licked his lips. Sasuke pictured his older brother in his mind, he gripped tightly onto his left arm and charged his chidori, his curse mark slowly taking over his body. Both roared at one another before leaping at their opponent. Naruto ran through the forest, dodging the many trees, before JJ landed at his side and quickly caught up to his pace. Mika soon landed at his side and caused the ground to upheaval under her feet before quickly disintgrating into the wind. All three closed in on the battle, quickly noticing the changes since Sasuke had started to fight, Sasuke was doubled over in pain, Raizen was standing toe to toe with Gaara and Sakura was pressed against a tree, with and covering her body up to her neck.
Gaara: Hehe, about time!
Gaara quickly turned to his new prey and lifted his hand, catching them off guard, his sand blast them back into a large canyon in the forest (Where Jiraiya pushed Naruto in the actual story) As they fell down into the deep pit Naruto's became enveloped in the cloak of the fox. Naruto lashed out both of his arms and clawed into the gap between the fissure before he looked up at his teammates. JJ jumped from wall to wall before slamming his sword into it forcing himself to a stop before looking back up at Mika. Mika slammed both of her hand together and created a bridge below her, once she fell passed it she grabbed it with both hands and flipped herself onto it before looking up. What she saw was Gaara falling down after them, half taken over by the shukaku drool flying from the side of his mouth as he laughed after them.
Gaara: Make feel alive!
Gaara quickly descended down on Mika and lashed out the sand behind him, completely blocking out the sun from above. Mika tried to change it before it could hit her, but it came down to fast, instead she abandoned her perch and jumped away from Gaara as he crashed through her bridge and slammed his fist into her back before she could get away. Gaara's sand whiped forward after Mika as many long arms before JJ jumped up and threw her out of the way, leaving himself to be caught by the attack. Gaara laughed as he slammed his fist shut, causing the sand entraping the boy to suddenly compress him. However much to his surprise the boy re-emerged from the attack as a massive dragon and roared after Gaara before sending a flame up after him, which was stoped by Gaara's sand. JJ grabbed Mika before hurling her up into Gaara's sand, he second she hit she broke through as if it were a wall and slammed her fist into Gaara's face. Naruto tossed himself into the air and slammed his aura into Gaara's chest before sending a flurry of punches into his face. Gaara slammed his fist into Naruto face and pummelled him with tons of sand before JJ flew through it and crashed his massive fist into Gaara's face, knocking him from the canyon.
Mika: Now!
Naruto leapt up with Gaara and slammed his fist into his stomach, giving Mika the chance to attack. With a graceful spin, she sent an arc of stone from the ground all the way back down crashing into Gaara's chest. Even with all these attacks, Gaara seemed to smile as he fell back into the wide feild below. Gaara closed his eyes and the ground below turned to sand before bounding from the ground and swallowing Gaara. Before Gaara could land the sand took the form of a giant raccoon that stood taller than the entire forest. The Shukaku smiled before giving a massive roar that shook the entire area.
Shukaku: It feels so good to be free again!
He shouted as he sent a blast of wind at the three kids still in the air. JJ was blasted back throught the air once his wings caught the gust and Naruto dived down at Gaara before turning his cloak into a long sword, in some ways akin to Gamabunta's something he had learned during his training with the toad, before he slashed it through the Shukaku's chest, only managing to split the large demon in half, not managing to do any damage. It's large hand slammed down into Naruto and knocked him into the ground with such force that he bounced back up as if he were a basketball.
Mika: Raahhhh!
She screamed her battlecry as she summoned two massive pikes that pierced throught Shukaku's chest before it could regenerate the split Naruto had put in it. Both pikes quickly turned to sand and melted down to the ground before rushing at Mika, who formed it under her as a small slab of stone before surfing along the sand as if it were water. JJ returned with a loud roar as he flew down at the massive monster, this time in his most powerful form. JJ clutched his ryuu-o-jinn and it turned into a sword of light. JJ slashed vertically through the massive monster, but once again sword seemed to have no effect at causing damage that couldn't be remedied by simply healing or restoring sand to the spot. The Shukaku reached up and ripped JJ from the sky before blasting it's sand on him like a cannon, launching him once again through the sky. Naruto re-emerged from the forest behind the massive sand rodent before quickly running up his body as JJ recovered mid flight and reverted back to his normal form, and Mika slammed her fist on the ground, making a slab of rock shot up from under her, launching her onto the Shukaku's chest. JJ landed on the beast's arm and started to run for it's head as other two started doing the same. Sand clones of Gaara started t emerge from the behemoth's body and charge after the young children. Naruto slashed through seven with a single swing and dodged the many others falling down at him, finally understanding what it most fell like to fight himself. Mika stood on the stomach of the shukaku and smiled as Gaara's clones closed in, with a quick step down she formed the entire stomach into a large boulder before she punched down, shattering the entire section. Mika jumped onto one of the stones and shot herself up higher into the sky before landing on the Shukaku's neck. Both Naruto and JJ smiled before taking advantage of Mika's attack. Naruto leapt up and ran to meet up with JJ and Mika as they ran for the Shukaku's obvious weakspot, Gaara, unconcious on top of the monster's head. Before they could however, all three found themselves staring at the demon's face as it turned around by shifting the sand around. Once again it sent a massive roar that echoed throughout the forest and sent the children flying through the sky. JJ saw something coming after them and frowned before grabbing tightly onto Naruto's hand and launched him after the demon once again. After Naruto was out of the way the Shukaku's arm slammed into JJ crushing him into the ground, then it winded around and smacked Mika down into the forest at breakneck speed. Naruto frowned as both of his teammates had been disposed of. JJ could've dodged that attack, but he chose to place his faith in him, so would he. powewrful blasts of wind flew after the young boy, but a quick handsign and a clone appeared next to him before hurling him out of the way.
Naruto: Echo pulse!!!!
At his shout, the boy continued to repeat the process of making clones throw him, until he was flying to fast for the wind to stop, instead it seemed as if he was harnessing the gusts of wind to make himself move faster. Gaara's sand clones reached for him after he reached the top of the shukaku's head, but he blasted right through them.
Naruto: Wake the fuck up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He shouted before slamming a fist into the boy's face, giving him a rude awakening from his slumber. Naruto stopped himself as Gaara gazed back at him, madder than two cats in a shower with the water turned on. Naruto turned back with a smile and shouted before he lifted his leg into the air. Gaara reached up to block, but his arms caved under the strength of Naruto's kick. Because of Gamabunta, Naruto had experience fighting massive opponents, Gaara's eyes went wide as he felt the thunder cracking through his head. The Shukaku's body started to shatter and both boys fell through as the sand fell around them. Naruto free fell above Gaara before smiling at the boy, both looked into each other's eyes and reared back their fists. Gaara's fist crashed into Naruto stomach as Naruto's crashed into Gaara's face, both were thorwn into the ground as the sand covered the entire feild they were in. JJ stood to his feet and dusted himself off.
JJ: Thank god I used my dragon skin in time.
He said with a smile, even though there was blood on his clothes, showing signs that his dragonskin wasn't the perfect and impregnable armor he bluffed it to be. Mika walked back into the feild as well, cracking her arm back into place without showing the slightest inklng of pain.
JJ: Are you sure that didn't hurt?
Mika: I don't show pain like most people.
She said once again speaking of her past life, when she was an emotionless doll. Mika walked to JJ and gazed at Naruto and Gaara before both stood to their feet. At the moment they all stood in what looked to be a patch of desert. Gaara was in his element and they were at a clear disadvantage, however Gaara was still winded and the numerous wounds on his body showed the signs of his fatigue. JJ and Mika started walking up to Naruto before someone dropped in front of Gaara.
Temari: Stop hurting Gaara!!!!
She shouted with rage in her eyes, nearly on the verge of tears. She never thought she'd see the day when Gaara would be over-powered, but when she did, she couldn't handle it.
Gaara: Get out of my way.
He said with cold eyes, Temari shook, but didn't move, instead she pulled her fan from her back and readied herself for battle.
Naruto: Fine, I'll fight you alone from here on Gaara!
He shouted over to his opponent shocking his two teammates, the two people he considered siblings, right now he couldn't fight with them. He needed to be the one to beat Gaara, he needed to stop him. Temari stopped and looked back at Gaara as he placed his hand on her shoulder and pushed her to the side before stepping forward.
Naruto: I can give you time to heal if you want, I don't want any excuses.
Gaara: I don't need any rest. I'll kill you right here and now.
JJ and Mika stepped back, understanding Naruto's motives, he wanted to face the boy just like him, but also, he had a promise to keep. He told Gaara that he would be the one to beat him when he hurt Lee, and he planned to make good on that.
????: It's been a while Yubiki.
The voice brought an abrupt stop to the entire area. Naruto looked away, the voice came from everywhere, even Gaara seemed to be distracted by the sudden outburst.
JJ: Sonic projection? Sounds like someone wants us to hear something.
He said as he looked into the sky.
[During the fight with Gaara.]
Ino: Dammit!
She shouted as she ran through the streets. JJ's jacket fluttered on her back, gripping tightly onto it she moved forward. She wondered why he had given it to her before he left, before at the moment she had to focus on what was happening, she needed to be somewhere. The enemy had engaged her many tmes on her trek, but somehow she managed to make it through. She dodged a hail of kunai and looked up toward the ninja staring down at her. With a click of her teeth she resumed her sprint, trying to lose the ninja behind her. She was so focused on running that she never noticed that the ninja had stopped chasing her. Their shadows were held tightly in place. All of the ninja faced the opposite way of the person binding them, with a quick flick of his wrist Shikamaru throw a single shuriken into the back of their heads, one by one, he picked them off as if he were playing target practice. Once he had elimanted all of his enemies he rubbed the back of his neck and sighed.
Shikamaru: Where is that troublesome woman going?
He asked himself before trying to go after her, but another group of ninja fell in front of him, his pursuit of Ino temporarily halted. The girl ran through the streets and almost tripped as she turned the corner.
Ino: Please tell me it's still there.
She thought aloud, until finally she made it through her family's flower shop. With a smile she stood in front of it and turned back to the ninja following her. A kunai tightly gripped in both hands, Ino prepared to fight of her enemies.
Ino: Stay back!
Harou: What makes you think I should listen to you?
He said walking slowly forward.
Harou: This place must be important to you. What do you boys think?
His comrades laughed, the girl was nothig more than a joke to them as she gripped onto her kunai.
Ino: [Dad, where are you?]
Ino took a step back and threw the kunai at the ninja. Harou moved out of the way and narrowly managed to stop the girl's foot flying for his face.
Harou: Nice, but your mistake was getting too close to me.
He said as he gripped onto her leg and sent a knee to her stomach, Ino coughed hard and lost balance in the leg supporting her, leaving Harou to lift her up by her other leg.
Harou: Now that I get a good look at you, you're kinda cute, maybe I'll take you home and train you.
Ino frowned and sent a quick right jab at Harou, despite the fact that she was upside down. Harou dodged it a smiled before slamming the slender girl into the ground as if she were a club. Harou looked down at Ino as she struggled to catch her breath and then looked back at his subordinates.
Harou: Burn it.
He said with cold eyes. Ino's head snapped up and she shouted at them, trying to lift herself, but Harou placed his foot on her head and held her down. Ino could do little more than watch as the place she held dear, slowly began to burn. The flames grew, rising to the sky as tears leaked from Ino's eyes.
Ino: Bastard. Bastard!!!!!!
Harou: Heh, what does it matter, we planned to burn this whole place to the ground anyway.
She shouted to him, only managing to invoke laughter from him as the other ninjas quickly join in.
????: You guys are sick!
A girls voice came from nowhere. suddenly one of the ninja's head flew off with a smooth cutting sound. Yukari landed on the ground and frowned up at the ninja with her sharingan blazing as strong as the flame behind her.
Yu: Get your foot off of her.
Harou: An Uchiha, Orochimaru-sama will be pleased if I take her back. Hey girl, drop your sharingan or I'll crush this girl's head.
Yukari didn't flinch, instead her sharingan flashed for a second and suddenly Harou was sent flying.
Yukari: 2 seconds, only eight left.
She said, keeping track of her demon eye limit. Ino slowly stood to her feet and looked at the fire with a sharp pain in her chest. None of the nnja understood what had happened, but they knew that it was the girl's doing. Yukari turned away from the man and brought her attention to the ninja lundging for her. With two quick swipes she slashed off the man's leg and then sent her dagger roughly through his back. Itachi had taught her well, never let the enemy live. She smiled, too bad she would have to use that on him one day. Another ninja came for the young girl, but not before Ino stepped in front of her. With a fluid motion she tossed a kunai into the air like a coin and spin into a kick that collided with the back of the kunai, slamming it into the man's head. Ino kept her leg in the air and quickly turned into a sweep kick that connected with the next enemy. When he tripped Ino brought back up the same leg and slammed it on the back of his head, holding him against the flame that was once her family's flower shop. Ino held him down with cold eyes as he screamed, burning and flailing, Ino never once pulled her foot away, not until the moving stopped. Once she removed her foot she turned back to Harou and pulled two kunai from her pouch, holding both in the underhand position in both hands before walking forward. Harou readied himself for the girl and grimaced before punching down at her, Ino effortlessly ducked under it with a spin. Harou brought back his fist and tried to slam it into Ino, however once again the girl managed to dodge it with little effort. Ino dragged both of her kunai across the man's wrist, and then stabbed one into the man's leg, bringing him down, with another spin she stabbed the other kunai into his kidney, once the man fell to his knees Ino quickly stood behind him and placed both kunai to his throat. Harou started to hypoventilate, but Ino kept a cold face, and said to him with no remorse of pity.
Ino: Your mistake was getting too close to me.
With his words thrown back at him Ino ripped roughly through his jugular and let them man fall to the ground as his blood flew to coat the entire area. Ino dropped her kunai and turned back to the crowd of ninja descending on her. It didn't take a second for them all to fall to the ground with as numerous parts of their bodies fell to the ground before the rest of it. Yukari stood behind Ino, gripping her eyes as she feel to her knees.
Yu: Are you okay Ino-neechan?
Ino: I should be asking you that.
She said lifting the girl, never once taking her eyes from her burning building.
Yu: Sorry.
Ino: No, it's their fault.
Konohamaru: YU!
Both girls turned back to the young boy as he ran over to them. Yukari frowned as he got closer and tried to move away, but her fatigue was too great, before she got to Ino she had been locked in many battles. She silently wondered why she decided not to go with Hanabi when she joined her sister.
Konohamaru: Are you hurt?
He asked reaching a hand for her, which the girl knocked away before shouting.
Yu: Don't touch me! I didn't forget what you did to me!
Konohamaru looked away and blushed before shaking it off and retorting.
Konohamaru: Now's not the time for that dammit, if you're tired we need to get you out of here.
Moegi: He's right, youre going to get hurt.
Yu: I can handle myself.
She said standing to her feet, before collapsing once again. Ino gently squeezed on the girl's neck, causing her to fall unconcious. Ino turned back to Konohamaru and sighed before saying.
Ino: I don't know what you did to her, but right now I need you to take her somewhere safe.
Konohamaru: Come with us!
Ino: Not yet, I, I don't want to run away yet.
Konohamaru: But-
Ino: Please.......
She said looking down to the ground, Konohamaru looked at the flame for the first time and heard something wet drop to the ground. He didn't turn back to Ino, but he knew what that sound was. Udon placed a hand on his back and nodded before all, carried Yukari away from the fight.
Ino: I couldn't do anything.
She said before looking up to the sky. Yubiki looked down at the girl, she knew that the girl was one of Naruto's friends, but at the moment she couldn't help her. If who she was waiting for arrived on the scene and she wasn't ready to fight, Sarutobi would be killed. She had to hold back her emotions, at least for now. Behind her a snake prepared to snap down on her, but without even turning back she grabbed onto it and sent forth her chakra, causing the snake to explode into small pieces, scatttering everywhere. After she was done, she once again folded her arms and looked onto Sarutobi's battle. Kakashi slammed his hand onto the neck of one ninja before flicking his wrist, snapping the man's neck with such force that he span around fourteen times, before finally hitting the ground. Behind an enemy pounced on him, thinking that he had the advantage, however, Kakashi didn't even move. Instead he smiled under his mask as Gai jump kicked the man from the building across from them, sending him flying across the roofs as a rock skipping across a pond.
Kakashi: You too your sweet time Gai.
Gai: Well remember our bet, whoever can take out the most enemy ninja wins.
Kakashi: Oh, were we doing that? I completely forgot.
Gai: Yes, we are and you're totally losing right now.
He said with a smile.
Kakashi: Am I now?
He asked not really paying attention to his rival. Gai sighed and then smiled as more ninja fell after them.
Kakashi: What do you say I handle this?
Gai: Oh no you don't, I'll take care of this Kakashi!
He said jumping into battle.
Kakashi: If you say so.
He said with a smile, Gai was so easy to trick. Kakashi turned back and pulled out a single kunai as the ninja began to attack.
Kakashi: I think I might just take you up on that bet though Gai, I'll be more than happy to remember how many of this scum I manage to take out.
He said as he dropped into stance. Not far from where they were Hiashi was fighting off the many ninja coming down on him. A single thrust of arm sent the ninja flying regardless of the distance between them. Hiashi seldom even needed to move, he just stood in one spot launching away after his enemies. One of the ninja however managed to gain a slight distance from the others, no difference, he could eliminate him as well, however before he could the man was engulfed in flames. When he hit the ground the flames died down, leaving the man breathing, but completely unable to continue the fight. The flames then spread out through the entire feild of ninja, taking out all of the ninja without killing them.
Hiashi: Ishi-hime, mercy is not something that should be shown in a battle like this.
He said as the girl stepped forward, finally showing herself.
shi: Sorry Hiashi-sama, but I don't kill. I can't.
She said with a smile.
Hiashi: Where is Neji?
He asked placing his back to the girl's, both blasting away at their enemies as they drew closer.
Ishi: He's not here, I told him that we should split up and help whoever we can find.
She said as she and Hiashi switched sides.
Hiashi: And he agreed to that?
He asked knowing full well of how protective Neji could be when it came to Ishi. Neji tried to act cool, but in some ways he was just Naruto when it came to his princess. Because of that Hiashi also wound up creating a bond with the girl, she didn't have many people in the village that disliked her, if any.
Ishi: I guess he trusts me.
She replied with a smile. A hissing sound reached their ears from behind and both slowly turned to the giant snake gazing down at them. Hiashi stepped in front of the girl, his fatherly nature, as rare as it was, was starting to kick, however the girl stepped back in front. With a stern gaze she looked at the snake and gave a sinister smile.
Ishi: You don't really wanna do that, do you?
She spoke as her darker personality began to show, one that had grown after so much training and bonding with Anko. he snake stopped, the girl's glare was more frightening than anything it had seen before, as if she could stare into it's soul.
Ishi: Come to me!
She shouted, gaining immediate obediacne from the massive beast. The snake flew down to her and surrounded her before submitting to her completely. With a smile she pulled a scroll and sealed the snake into it before saying.
Ishi: Looks like I got a new pet.
A smile wide on her face. Hiashi slowly backed away from the girl. Underneath that bubbly exterior lies a force to be reckoned with. Orochimaru smiled as Sarutobi pushed him back, never once taking the time to catch his breath. Orochimaru was about to release a seal before a voice called out inside him.
[????: Save that for later, right now we have someone who's dying to meet me, what do you say we give her a show?]
Orochimaru: Heh, it seems that it's time.
He said as he pulled back his sword, much to his former master's confusion. Orochimaru opened his mouth and eight snake crawled from his mouth, falling to the ground with a wet flop. After a few second the snakes began to take form. All stood in the guise of humans, smiling together. Yubiki's eyes snapped open and shouted as she made a mad dash for where Orochimaru was. Sarutobi became cautious, but he didn't panic at the moment he realized he was outnumbered, but his cool head let him know that they weren't interested in him, but what was coming for them at full speed.
Yura: Drop the jutsu or the shock will kill you.
Sakon: We know brat!
Tayuya: Move out of the way!
As the sound four dispeled their jutsu, Yubiki passed them in a giant blur, but not before Yura could cancel her chakra. As immense as it was Yura couldn't neutrelize it all and the effects were temporary at best, but it was enough for what they were planning. Once Yubiki realized what had happened a seal was placed on the ground under her, quickly draining her strength and sealing her in place, that however didn't stop her from thrashing around in rage.
Insuru: Activate the sonic projection jutsu, I want everyone to hear me. I know it'll drop the morale of their troops.
As his sibling started through a round of seals the sound on the roof became louder and more vivid. With a smile Insuru spoke to the bound woman.
Insuru: It's been a while Yubiki.
The voice seemed to draw the attention of the entire village, not only the villagers, but the opposing ninja as well.
Yubiki: This trick won't hold me forever!
Insuru: I know, and unfortunately since I too am a demon I'll be caught in it if I get to close, so you're in no danger.
Yubiki: I thought you were dead.
Insuru: I was.
He said with a plain face as he scratched the back of his neck.
Insuru: Oh I forgot to introduce you to my family. This is my brother Aristam.
Aristam: Charmed.
Insuru: My sister Kamina.
Kamina: Sup'.
Insuru: My sister Sinna.
Sinna: Nice to meet you.
Insuru: My brother Venice.
Venice: Whatever.
Insuru: My brother Kensou.
Kensou: Yo'.
Insuru: And the youngest two; my sister Aneha and my brother Karou.
Karou: Nice to meet you Nee-chan.
Aneha: I've already seen you so I don't see why I need to introduce myself.
Insuru: From oldest to youngest, we make the Orochi.
He said with a smile. Many of the people below recognized that name, a fearsome monster of legend.
Yubiki: What makes you think I give a shit about who they are?
Insuru jumped back and gave a feigned look of shock before replying.
Insuru: Well because I never got to introduce them to you before. And it is costumary for a man to introduce his family to his wife.
A wave of shock rode through their audience, none could understand what was going on.
Insuru: Then again, if I died then does that mean that till death do you part kicks in and I'd have to call you my ex-wife? But since I'm alive then that should mean that death didn't do us part. Oh so confusing.
Yubiki: Shut up!
Once again Insuru jumped back and feigned shock as his siblings laughed at him.
Kensou: Ha, you got yelled at.
Sinna: Trouble in paradise huh, bro?
Insuru: Oh, why are you all so mean to your Nii-chan?
He said falling to the side slowly in a dramatic fashion.
Yubiki: Tell me, Insuru.
She said gaining his attention once again as she cast her eyes to the ground.
Yubiki: Was it you who led Orochimaru to kill Neko?
Insuru blinked for a second before saying while rubbing his head.
Insuru: Well I may have suggested the idea, but it's vague on whether I did or not, I can't remember. Do I do that you guys?
Kensou: Yep.
Aristam: It was your idea.
Aneha: So your idea.
Karou: Try to remeber these things nii-chan.
Insuru: Oh, why are you all so mean to your niichan?
He asked slowly falling to the side in a dramatic fashion.
Yubiki: Why?
Once again Insuru stopped his play and looked back at the woman.
Yubiki: Why would you do that?
Insuru looked down with a displeased frown.
Yubiki: He was your son!!!!!!!!!
She shouted out at him, once again causing a wave of shock to fly through their audience. Sarutobi gripped tighter onto his staff as he moved closer to Yubiki. Insuru cast his eyes down and sighed before chuckling. Then slowly his chuckle became a full out laugh as his siblings joined in. Insuru replied with a smile.
Insuru: You say that like I care.
He said mockingly laughing at the woman. Finally everyone understood the type of demon they were dealing with. Insuru didn't stop, he and his siblings continued their mocking laughter.
Insuru: And she was so dramatic with it too.
Aristam: He was your son!!!
He said mimicking Yubiki's voice.
Insuru: Oooooh, do it again, it gives me goosebumps on my scales.
Kamina: He was your son!!!!!!!
He said mimicking her voice while making a silly face.
Insuru: Hahahahaha.
Sarutobi couldn't explain in words how enraged he felt at the moment, even more at the fact that when he looked down he saw something he couldn't even picture before then. Yubiki, was crying.
Yubiki: Why?
Her voice noticably cracking. The sound was something only Naruto had heard before, and at the moment his hands were bleeding under the pressure of his tightly clentched fist. JJ's chivalris nature began to go full blast.
JJ: Naruto.
Naruto: Could you please.
He said fully understanding what JJ was about to say. He was going back to the village. Mika stepped back stood with Naruto as JJ walked at a slow pace. For the moment the battle had stopped, there was no need to rush. Insuru was projecting their voices because he wanted them to hear something, and JJ wanted to hear it. He wanted the bastard to give him more reasons to kill him. Iruka cursed and slammed his hand into a wall, surprisingly shattering the cement as if it were nothing, at the moment however he didn't even notice.
Insuru: Why? Where do I begin? Maybe I shoud start from the beginning. Tell me Yubiki, will you listen to my woes?
He asked with a sickeningly sweet smile.
Insuru: We were once like you, fools who trusted and protected the humans. Even though they feared us. Then like all of the other demons, we forged a bond with Jinzuki Uzumaki. On the day when the humans turned on Jinzuki, we had a front row seat, trying or best to stop the execution. Before he died, Jinzuki smiled at all of the demons who had come to defend him. The human's killed Jinzuki because he loved demons as much as he did the gods. However there was a large gap in the real story.
He said with a smile.
Insuru: Jinzuki was killed because his wife was indeed a demon.
Yubiki's eyes went wide. She had never heard of that, Naruto looked down at his hands and frowned.
Insuru: His family would have been killed as well had we not stepped in and slaughtered that village. That boy you call son, has had demon blood flowng through his veins long before you came into the picture. Which is probably why he's been able to suck your fox demon powers into himself. Once we began, it was like a rush, all of the hostility we demons had felt for humans was unleashed in the most vicious of ways. We of the Orochi found, like many other demons, that we loved the feeling of putting the humans in their place. Then the kings of our worlds stepped in and called that stupid truce. And of the Orochi returned, dejectedly they sat on their throne, longing for the days of old when the humans were nothing more than their playthings. They were the first to exploit the many holes in the treaty, as long as humans sacrificed their own, demons were free to kill whoever they placed in front of them. It all fell down to human will. With a smile the Orochi returned to the human world and searched for a village that seemed peaceful enough, and they attacked, with their mighty visage, they needed nothing more than their words and growled to intimidate the humans. With a mighty booming voice the stated.
(Flashback)
Orochi: At the beginning of each month, an arrow will fall upon the house of a young virgin maiden. By the end of the week you will bring that woman to us, and she will be sacrifced for another month of safety for your village. Refuse us and we will kill everyone here. Do not even dream of defying us.
All heads spoke in unison, before with a mighty roar they destroyed the remaining houses in the village.
Orochi: We trust that you will make a wise decision.
The frightening beast said before leaving the villagers in utter shock. It was the most horrifying thing they had ever seen.
(Insuru: However, as foolish as humans are, they decided that it would be easier to simply send warriors after our head, that two was a simple enough task, all we had to do was wait for the human to cast the first blow, and then strike them down. After that, we mounted the human's head in front of the village as a show of how futile resisting could be. Soon they realized the foley of their actions and then, it was easy street. Watching them gravel was truly a sight to behold. However, within a year the virgins had run out. Pathetic really, is it too much to ask that a woman be able to keep her chastity over the age of seven?)
(Sinna: Bro even I found that one offensive.)
(Insuru: I meant humans, things like that don't matter to demons, just like any other thing we have the hymen can heal. But I mean seriously, how long do you think it'll be before those girls we saw in the exams are all bloated and full of baby? I'll give it a year, hahahahahahaha!!!!!)
As much as hs words offended people, the fear of the demon was overpowering, his influence seemed to be doing just as he planned. He was lowering the morale of the village, a pyhcological assualt.
(Karou: You mean if they live past today?)
(Insuru: Oh I don't plan on killing them, some of them will be useful later. However, I seem to have gotten off track. Where was I again?)
(Arista: At the part where the humans started running out.)
(Aneha: Try to remember these things Onii-chan.)
(Orochimaru: Yes and please stop getting distracted before the best parts.)
(Insuru: Not you too! Why are you all so mean to me?)
(He said falling back in a dramatic fashion once again before quickly regaining himself and folding his arms.)
(Insuru: The Orochi, bewildered at the humans started to demanded anything that the human had, even their children, and the humans complied. So afraid to die that they no longer cared about anyone else. Their fear was so beautiful. However we made a mistake, a drifting who swordsman found himself bound to the village challenged us to a fight, however, he never threw the first blow. Instead he stared at us and waited with a smile. The human had known of the treaty between the gods, he called our bluff and then exposed us to the village who soon dismissed us as a threat. Enraged, we ignored the treaty completely an slayed the swordsman, shutting his arrogant mouth for good. The rage of the gods, would be worth the exchange for shutting him up. So the Orochi waited, looking to the sky for the gods to descend, but nothing came. Amused the Orochimaru returned it's gaze to the village and slaughtered as many of them as they could before dropping an arrow on one last house.)
Orochi: If you value your lives, then the woman that lives in this house will be brought to us by the weeks end.
(Insuru: With a renewed fear, the humans agreed to the terms, except for one man with a double hilted sword. The woman to be sacrificed was his fiancee. Instead of heeding our words, the warrior set off the to fight against us, with a pure white wolf by his side. Nothing seemed odd to us at the time, but once we fought the warrior we realized, he was able to damage us, his attacks hurt. We lost, somehow he managed to defeat us, but before died we noticed something. The wolf was glowing red, it's power was what made the human strong.)
Orochi: Damned beast, what are you? Speak your name!!!!!!!!
The wolf smiled and then stood to it's hind legs, slowly changing into the form of a beautiful white haired woman. Before the Orochi could pass on the woman spoke.
????: I am the goddess of the sun, Amateuresu! Remember that name on your way to hell foul demon.
Cursing that name and the foolish decision they had made, the Orochi's life slipped away from them.
(Insuru: They died, but their essence spread through the land and infected eight powerful beasts, driving them mad. Soon after the beasts began to destroy anything in their path one of those beasts being the great dragon king Omaki. As they ravaged the land, Amatueresu realized her mistake and traveled the lands, defeating them all, except one. Omaki was somehow exorcised by the head of the Nores clan, before he died he enlisted him to serve under the Nores clan's head for the reminder of their clan's existance. After all of the beasts lost the essence inside of them, the darkness gathered together and revived us using the strength of the beasts we possessed. And once again Amateuresu stood before us and fought against us, however, even with our new found strength, we lost. This time, she didn't kill us. She dispeled our union and sealed away my siblings then she sealed my power, binding me into human form, as well as banishing my demon powers. I was sentenced to be nothing more than a strong human.)
Insuru: Damn you! You sick bitch, change me back!
Ammy: Or what? You'll nibble me? Be glad that you are allowed to live. As bothersome as you may be, you are no longer a threat, in that state even a human could kill you.
She said walking away with a mocking laugh at the man who once stood strong.
(Insuru: She left me in that pathetic state. I had nothing left, broken and beaten, I returned to the void, lost in the world of darkness. As the cold rain poured over me, an angel appeared over me with a sweet voice and asked.)
????: Are you okay?
The young woman called out to him in the rain, holding out her slender hand to the down fallen man.
(Insuru: Her beautiful voice lured me in and clear naivety in her eyes. That angel was you Yubiki. Inwardly I smiled, I knew what I could do to regain my strength, or more accurately, a new strength. I calcaulated every last step. Each part of the puzzle fell right back into place. You see, you were a pawn from the very beginning. If I could play my part, if I could act well enough, I could gain the powers of a fox demon. And all I had to do was make you fall in love with me, then fool myself into loving you. After ten long years, you finally opened your heart to me, and then you gave me the mark. However do you remember what happened after that?
(Yubiki: I marked you, but the second effect never took place.)
(Insuru: Right, now I was bonded to you, hopelessly in love and unable to betray you, but being the thorough bitch that she was, Amateuresu also sealed my ability to gain new demonic powers. My plan had failed miserably. Then a new piece into place soon after that.)
(Yubiki: ......Neko.....)
(Insuru: Correct, if I could eat him after his powers matured, I'd be able to gain the powers of a Kitsune-oni and regain my Hebi-oni powers at the same time. He too was a pawn from the very beginning.)
(His words that tme made Yubiki wince and bite her lip. Her anger was slowly rising to the boiling point.)
(Insuru: However, when he was born, being the thorough bitch that she is, Neko was born without my powers. Amateuresu had also sealed my ability to reproduce my powers. Once again, my plan had failed entirely, and even worse, there was nothing I could do about it. I was forced to carry out a normal life, as nothing more than a face at your side. Never to hold any true power, then sixty-seven years later. My siblings managed t break free from Amatueresu's seal, and they returned to the void looking for me, beginning a large-scale war. Amatueresu entered the void as well, remember?)
(Yubiki:.....Because the void drained her powers she sought me out to assist her.)
(Insuru: That's right, she is your sister after all isn't she? I paniced, if she had seen me, then she would have been able to identify me, my cover wouldn't be blown, so I flew, and because of my weakened state, I was killed on the battlefeild, and doing so drastically decreased the fighting strength of my siblings. Allowing you to defeat them.)
(Yubiki: That's when we sealed them away. That war went on two years after you died.)
(Insuru: Yeah, and after you sealed away siblings you fled for the human world. We had never been killed at seperate times before, always at once, I truly thought that I would stay dead. But as a year passed, I was revived along with my siblings.)
(Flashforward)
Yubiki's eyes flew wide.
Insuru: Do you undersand what that means. If we are killed all together, our essence will spread throughout the land until it infects a powerful beast, once it does, those beast will ravage the land until they die. Once they die, our essence will reunite and we will be reborn. However, if we die seperately our power will decrease, but withing the span of three years, the one of us who died will be revived through his siblings.
Insuru stood over Yubiki and smiled as his siblings and Orochimaru did the same. All completely engulfed in darkness, covering everything but their eyes.
Insuru: We are immortal!!!!!!
He shouted down to her. Those words struck a cord with everyone listening, once again crushing the morale of the konoha shinobi, how do you fight an enemy you can't kill? All shook under those words, except for one person wo continued to walk forward with a blank expression.
Insuru: I also found that when I was reborn, I no longer held your mark, however, my natural powers had returned to me. The only down side was that now I was sealed inside with them, cursed to live the rest of my days in confinement, then something unexpected happened. A man broke through to the void and full before our cage. After granting him our power, I had a loose end to tie up. I had grown fond of the feeling of weilding the Kitsune-oni's power.
Orochimaru: And what a wonderful power that is.
He said with the fox cloak suddenly draping his body.
Insuru: Then we waited, your storm to the village here, riled up the humans, and when they struck you, your rampae began, just like I had planned from the beginning, however, Minato knew. He saved you and the village at the same time, maybe it was the powers of the gods flowing in his veins.
Yubiki's eyes snapped up at those words and Sarutobi fought back the urge to draw on the subject.
Yubiki: What?
Insuru: You understand now? Why that boy is so popular? It's because, as weak as it may have been, Minato's bloodline held the gene of the god of wind. And because the Uzumaki clan had demon blood in their veins, the forbidden had happened, a god and a demon had merged blood. Because the demon blood tends to die down through generations, normally that wouldn't be a problem because the demon gene in that boy was recessive, but there was something that caused that gene to germinate.
He said with a smile. Yubiki cast her eyes down.
Yubiki: Me?
Insuru: That's right. Because of you Naruto is becoming something that has never existed before. When he gains his ninth tail, who knows what will happen. However, I'd rather not wait that long.
Yubiki snapped back up at Insuru and growled.
Yubiki: What are you planning!!??
Insuru: Oh, that's easy. I intend to eat your other son as well.
His smile suddenly grew darker. Those words sent a chill throughout the village and invoked the wrath of a few certain, however Naruto seemed to grew calm after hearing that, he was actually rather relieved to hear it. He would have to do it first, and he wasn't going to make that easy for him. Naruto smiled, Insuru had suddenly grown silent, meaning something new was happening, something he didn't plan on. JJ walked past Ino holding two of the sound ninja in each hand.
Ino: JJ-kun?
JJ's eye were slit and golden, his face looked somewhat jagged and his arms were wlarged than before. It was a mid-transformed. He was as close to changing as he could go without doing it.
JJ: Look after that jacket for me.
He said with his voice as more of a growl than normal.
Claire: So he decided to show his true hand.
(Music que: Karma [by-bump of chicken; Tales of the abyss OST)
Insuru turned to JJ with a wide and disturbing smile as the boy slowly walked forward, discarding the two bodies in his hands. After a started walk forward the boy burst into a sprint and flipped onto the roof of a house and then continually flipped higher onto other buildings.
Insuru: Kill Fou-lu!
He ordered out to all who followed him. The order confused many of the onlookers, yet the ninja assumed he meant the one boy charging forward to their position, with that understanding they all moved out. Three snakes closed in on JJ as he leapt high into the air.
Kakashi: JJ fall back!!!!
He shouted to the boy, but he gained no response. With a roar of determination he ripped his sword from his back and shouted.
JJ: Get the fuck out of my way!!!!!
The snake made move on him, but as massive as it was, he manage to take off it's head with one smooth slash before snapping his sword back, decapitating the second. With a skillful spin of his sword JJ lifted his sword above his head before slicing straiight down the middle of the final serpent. Once he landed on the ground he began to run forward once again, but dozens of sound ninja pounced at him.
JJ: Shadow fist eruption!
He shouted as he pumped his right fist into the air and sent a pillar of black light flying into all of the ninja, rendering them unconcious in a single blow in mid air. Before the ninja could fall back to the ground JJ used them as stepping stones to send himself back into the air. On the last one the boy did a backwards flip, leaving himself upside down in the air. He closed his eyes as another snake snapped at him and dodged at the last second. Quickly rounding back the snake made another snap at JJ which he once again dodged with a blank face. A sudden stop by the serpent and it snapped once again for JJ, who this time simply let it eat him. Not even half a second later he came bursting from the back of the snake as he once again jumped for the roof of the stadium.
JJ: Insuru!!!!
At his shout the man turned with a smile as Karou, Sinna, and Venice all smiled and jumped from the roof in a blur. JJ lifted his right hand, narrowly managing to block Karou's fist crashing down for him, the force of which pushed him down to the nearest roof, where Ishi and Hiashi waited. The landing caused a shockwave to shake the ground and the roof they stood on. Venice ran behind him forcing the boy to let go of Karou's fist and roll under the attack. Smoothly, JJ dodged and blocked the attacks coming after him, obviously they were holding back. Ishi and Haishi moved forward as if they were going to enter the fray, but something clear blasted them both away, they couldn't tell what it was, but they knew JJ was the one who used it. Sinna dropped down on the boy with her fist drawn back, fiercely dropping it into JJ's face knocking him slightly off balance, seeing the new opprotunity, the other two closed in a unleashed a flurry of attacks on the boy, knocking him slightly from the ground.
Sinna: You're mine Fou-lu!!
She shouted as she kicked upward making her leg turn into a snake's tail which extended and wrapped tightly around JJ's throat. With a loud laugh and a quick spin, she dragged the boy through numerous buildings before letting go, throwing him through three whole buildings before he came to a stop. JJ laid still for a second then jumped into the sky with a mighty roar, completely covered in blood. On his descent he balled his fist and dropped it furiously down into Sinna's face, causing her to spin sideways sixteen times before falling flat to the ground. JJ pulled his fist back and crashed it into Karou's face before turning with a spin kick, coated in black chakra the flared up on impact. Venice closed in on the boy, but soon caught a lightning fast three hit to his chest before JJ grabbed his head and his shoulder, clamping his fangs tightly onto the man's neck and decapitating him. JJ grabbed tighter onto the man's shoulder and flipped his body down to the ground before lifting his head and kcking it into Karou's face. As Karou stumbled from the blow JJ closed the distance between them with a short uppercut into his stomach, then another with his fist burning black.
JJ: Shouryuken!!!!
He said as he went soaring into the air with a trail of black chakra flowing behind him. JJ smiled as all of the Orochi began to recover, even Venice's head simply grew back onto his body. JJ flipped back from Karou's chest and shouted back toward the roof.
JJ: Sarutobi!!!!!
The old man heard the boy's call and looked down into his hand. With clear understanding he lifted Enma and launched him to JJ while still in mid air. Enma changed from the form of a staff and grabbed onto JJ's hand.
Enma: It's been a long time Fou-lu.
JJ: Too long my friend.
Enma turned back into a staff and JJ held both hands up as his enemies closed, not to mention the other two that had followed Enma up to the boy.
JJ: Extend Enma!!!
He shouted, making the staff grew to the length of ten city blocks. JJ slapped his hand on the other side of the staff and made it spin in his hand, crushing the faces of all enemies pursuing him. With a smile he turned the staff down and spun it into Venice and Kamina, dragging them through two buildings before sending them flying back into the air, then JJ switched sides and did the same to Karou and Sinna. With his last spin he pulled the staff under his arm and slammed it down using the force of his shoulder, slamming it into Kensou, crushing the ground as he did so. The staff retracted and JJ pulled his sword from his back, tossing it slightly into the air above him. Enma's head extended from the end of the staff and bit into the hilt of the sword, dragging back down and merging it into the staff, making it a spear. Dragon's wings grew from the staff below the blade and JJ threw it under himself.
JJ: Don't underestimate me!
He shouted as he rode the staff like a surf board. Aneha smiled and launched herself from the roof after the boy, but before she could reach him he dropped to the side of the spear and grabbed onto it tightly before he spun around and slashed through the girl.
JJ: Freeze Saru-ryu!!!!
He shouted as ice covered the tip of the spear and then he rounded and stabbed it intoAnhea's chest, dragging her to the ground and shattering the ice while still insde her. With a sharp turn JJ hit th back of the staff into Venice's chest and then pushed down the front, slamming the back otf the spear into his chin. Then like a breeze he turned in a blur and slashed upward through the demon. In the same motion he dragged the spear back down into Karou's head and the force knock JJ into the air where he flipped back from a roof and extended the spear again, viciously slashing it across Insuru's face from that great distance. Insuru's face was ripped off, but it quickly restored and he smiled at the boy. JJ smiled back as he slammed the bottom of his spear down into Sinna's chest and extended it down to the ground, impaling both the woman and the cement. JJ stood at the top of the spear and readied himself as the six Orochi head turned into snakes and slithered up the staff. JJ called out is sword and grabbed it with the shout.
JJ: Burn ryu-o-jinn!
At his words the sword began to emit flames and he spiraled down the staff, leaving a trail of fire behind him, forcing the Orochi heads to fall from the heat. JJ landed on the ground and breathed in the flame, grabbing tightly onto Enma, he launched the staff into the air and spit the fire from his mouth, launching himself up like a rocket before landing on the speeding weapon. Aristam, the second eldest, grew tired of watching his siblings play and jumped from the roof onto the staff with JJ. He watsed no time going on the assualt, however, JJ managed to dodge every attack and send back few of his own. Aristam smiled, impressed by the boy's balance and ability fight and avoid his attacks, however, he grew tired of toying around and then he slammed his fist roughly into the boy's chest, forcing him to vomit torrents of blood and sending him flying from the staff. Enma returned to Sarutobi alone with his gaze drawn back to the falling from the sky as the seven Orochi heads moved in, crushing him with multiple attacks at once. Aneha flew over him and slammed her leg into him like a whip knocking hm faster from the sky. Kamina and Aristam closed in with their fist drawn back, ready to crush the boy. JJ recovered in mid air nd held out both his hands to catch the fists of his approaching enemies, but his hands didn't catch them, something else did. Both of them dark demons looked up at a massive green aura shaped like a horned demon hanging behind JJ.
JJ: Green aura: Aura expansion jutsu!!!!!
JJ's aura following the movements of his hands as he dragged back both demons and slammed them into each other before slamming both fist into their backs and tossing them to the side like garbage as he continued to fall JJ whispered the words.
JJ: Fourth form: Warrior.
As he descended his body began to change and he dropped into his aura. JJ turned into a small human sized dragon and shot an arrogant small as an image of himself appeared behind him, standing fifty feet tall. JJ held tightly onto his sword in his right hand, then he motioned as if throwing the sword to his left, then it split in two and he held both swords in front of himself, ready for a fight. Unfazed by the boy's transformation the rochi heads started to move for him, but with a swift motion JJ slasshed through all of them as his aura punched down into them crushing them into the ground below. JJ flew forward, cutting through the enemies in front of him while making his way to the chunin exams stadium where Insuru, Orochimaru, Yubiki, and Sarutobi waited. Once again as if he never attacked them in the first place all seven of the Orochi returned after him, however he never moved, his aura just slammed it's fist into them whenever they got close, sometimes punching them into mountains buildings, anything that the body could fly into, they hit it. JJ flew into the air and dodged the attack flying for him, then Aristam slammed his fangs on the boy's neck, slowing him down, soon the other joined in. JJ smiled as they all closed in on his aura waiting in the ring of the chnin exams arena. The aura reared back and punched into JJ leaving him unfazed, but blasting back everyone taking him for a ride. JJ flew over Insuru and changed back before slamming his ryu-o-jinn back into it's sheath. He landed croutching down, and slowly stood to his feet in front of Insuru. A gust of wind that JJ had dragged with him flew over the roof and blew through his clothes. Insruru stared at JJ's frown with a smiled as they walked closer to each other, both meeting each other's eyes. Seconds later Insuru's siblings joined him, all smiling down on him too. Insuru moved back and chuckled.
Hiashi: He broke through their line by himself?
Choji: JJ, amazing.
Insuru stepped back and started clapping.
Insuru: Amazing Fou-lu. I didn't think you'd make it here. It's been a while.
Ino: He called him Fou-lu again.
Shikamaru: Why does he call him that?
JJ scoffed at Insuru and turned away.
JJ: I can't honestly say that I missed you all that time. Especially not you Orochimaru.
Orochimaru: That saddens me, I missed you alot Norugi.
Insuru: It truly has been too long, brother.
Those words sent a chill down the spine of the villagers. Was JJ an agent of Orochimaru, their suspicision were put to rest when JJ replied.
JJ: You slimy bastard, I don't remeber giving you the right to call me that!
Insuru: But it's true. The dragon clan descended from the snake clan. Brother.
JJ: But, that does not makes us equal, we evolved from your clan. That does not make us related.
Aristam: Young Norugi, may we speak to Fou-lu? I have no interest in talking to a ghost.
He said making JJ growl, those words hit home and confused many of their listeners. Insuru smacked Aristam's arm and turned back to JJ.
Insuru: Please excuse him, he doesn't have subtle bone in his body. Can you please speak to us yourself Fou-lu?
JJ closed his eyes and frowned before opening them again.
Fou-lu: I have no interest in speaking with thee.
Insuru: It's been a while, brother.
Fou-lu: Bite thine tongue, I have but one brother and you are not of my blood.
He spit back to the man.
Aneha: Well, aren't we hostile?
She said with sarcasm.
Fou-lu: Mine heart holds no love for your kind wench. Why should I use kind words for such trash?
He replied with a smile. Aneha frowned and dropped a large amount of chakra from her body. Insuru cut her off and asked.
Insuru: Would you not join our side Fou-lu?
Fou-lu: Thou asks an obvious question. However, this is not mine own vessel, if that is what Norugi desires, I will not disagree with his wishes.
He said as he dropped his persona and allowed JJ control of his body once again.
Kensou: Then I guess that means the decision is yours kid.
Sinna: I'm quite impressed with how you fight. Why don't you fight with us?
JJ: Why should I?
He asked with vemon.
Insuru: The real question is, why do you fight for the humans? You hate them don't you?
JJ: Huh?
Insuru: You hate them right?
JJ puased, that caused unrest in those he fought alongside him. With a smile JJ replied.
JJ: Yeah, I hate them.
Kamina: Right, and you have no real ties to ths village, why don't you join us at the top of the world. Humans don't deserve this world, and thanks to Orochimaru we don't have limits on how many we kill. Join us Norugi.
JJ smiled and said.
JJ: You're right, I'm not even from this place. I can't stand humanity. They're so weak yet, they think everything is their's. They have great knowledge, yet they use it to kill each. One of the very first human inventions was a weapon, something they could use against one another, and even today they would create a new weapon sooner than they would find a cure for a disease and even when they do, they'd keep to themselves so that they could make profit. All that humans care about is money, power, and respect. There is no honor, no love, no chivalry, nothing. All they know how to do is hate and destroy. If there is one thing I respect about their species, it's that I believe that one day they will stand above the clouds and touch the sky. That's also what I hate about them, on the day when humanity stands above the clouds, it will be because he stands on the corpses of his brothren.
He said with a digusted smile. JJ looked at his hands and then up to Insuru.
JJ: I like the idea of wiping them out.
He said with a chuckle that scared everyone listening, even Claire, she never heard him sound like that before.
JJ: So I'll give you an answer.
JJ looked up to them with a smile before he said.
JJ: Why don't you go fuck yourself?
He said turning his head and smiling in their face with a chuckle. JJ stuffed his hands in his pockets and laughed at them.
Aristam: What was that?
JJ: You heard me, you, the MJ rip-off, N-Snyc, and the spice girls over there can all go fuck yourselves. You must be sniffing laundry detergient if you actually expected me to agree to that.
Sarutobi chuckled at the boy's words and smiled at him.
JJ: What kind of dumbass would here someone say "I ate my own son." and say "Wow, he sounds like an appealing guy, I wanna go grab a brew with that guy."
Once again the boy invoked the laughter of those who listened.
JJ: I may hate humans dude, but I don't think there's any way that I could hate them more than you.
Aristam: So you intend to fight us?
JJ: I guess.
He said scratching the back of his neck as Insuru chuckled at him.
Insuru: Boy you are hopelessly outmatched and outnumbered up here. What do you think you can do to us?
JJ: That's just it, I don't have to fight you by myself. Seeing the look on Yubiki's face right now, I can see that all I really have to do is break that seal that's holding her and she'll rip you to shreds herself. Which I can do seeing as I'm not a demon. Or I could always just let you kill me.
He said with a smile.
JJ: But when you do that the dragon gene will be released from my body, which will release Fou-lu. Do you really want to face him alongside Yubiki?
Insuru winced, this boy's words were pushing at him.
JJ: Then there's me, who gives you a flatout promise that even if you do kill me, I will make sure that one of you go with me. And according to your story, that will make you weaker, will it not?
Insuru smiled.
Insuru: That makes no difference.
JJ: No, I was just wondering if you could take Yubiki with only seven of you. I mean, you couldn't handle her sister with all eight and from the stories I heard from Amatueresu herself, she and her sister were never able to beat one another. Which means if you couldn't beat her, you definitely can't beat Yubiki. Even which her own fox powers, because since she rules them, she holds dominion over them to a certain degree. You were probably using tricks so that she couldn't figure that out. While Orochimaru can use it probably, you guys can't so long as she's near you.
Insuru scowled, who was this boy, why was he so sharp.
JJ: You never know what people can do when they pay close attention. And I was listening really hard, and don't think for a second, that I plan on dying here either. I still have something I need to do, and I have people that I want to do that with, so I'm going to fight.
Insuru: I don't understand. Why fight for these people, why do you risk your life for a species you hate? People that kill each other for sport. At least I did for power. I had a gain, these people will do it for nothing. What makes you fight for them!?
JJ stood tall and chuckled as his scratched his cheek.
JJ: Truthfully, no matter how corny this may sound, it was because you made Yubiki cry.
(Music que: I dare you to move! [by Switchfoot)
Yubiki's face shot up with slight blush, she didn't mean to cry, it just kind of happened.
JJ: I don't know where I developed it, but when women cry, I hate it. It just makes me want to protect them. The second I noticed, I was already on my way here. Besides, I fight this place because of the people here. I want to help them, I thought when I left my village that there would be no one here who would except me, I was going to stick out like a sore thumb and get nothing but cold stares. Yet, that never happened, instead I was welcomed with open arms.
Yura looked down at those words. Tayuya looked over to her and frowned, right now that boy had somehow reached her with his words. Yura walked through the village without hiding anything, she was comfortable there, more than she should have been.
JJ: So why do I fight? Because I saw Choji run almost as fast as Raizen to fight off your people. Because I saw Lee, with a broken arm and leg, fight with anything else he could use as a weapon. Because Tenten, fought with him, making sure that he never pushed himself too far. Because Sasuke chased after someone he knew he couldn't beat, just so that could protect his home. Because I saw Raizen break the sound barrier to go help him. Because even though Sakura lacks physical strength, she still stood before Gaara ready to fight. Because I saw the lazy Shikamaru show some enthusiam. Because Ino-chan fought on dispite losing something precious to her. Because this is Ishi's first real fight, yet she stands unafraid of anything coming at her. Because Neji fights elsewhere, yet he still keeps a sharp eye on her. Because Shino was able to take down Kankuro without even tryiing. Because Kiba's heartbroken, yet he's managed to take down almost fourty of your guys. Because I got to see this old man fight for the first time.
He said smiling back at Sarutobi, who quickly returned the geisture.
JJ: Because, right now, Claire-sensei, is protecting everyone, because Kakashi-sensei called out to me with worry when I started coming here, because Hiashi and Ishi tried to help on my way. Because I know when this is all done, Gai is gonna give me that goofy smile, and I'm gonna do it back. Because Kurenai-sensei has been protecting Hinata from the shadows every step of her way. Because Iruka finished what Naruto and I started. Because Naki would kill the very sun before he lefts anyone of you near his family. Because Asuma crushed everything Shikamaru's way, because Yukari fought until she fainted, because Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon fight as hard as they little bodies can. Because my little sisters are doing everything they can to look after the village's stragglers.
Hinata and Hanabi blushed as they turned back to where JJ's voice came from.
JJ: Because my little brother, is fighting someone who is a mirror image of what he could've become.
Naruto looked up and smiled at JJ's words.
JJ: Because even though she acts cold, my girlfriend's had a stone golem trailing since I left.
Mika blushed at him and looked away.
JJ: And because once this is all done, I want to eat with them all at Ichiraku's, and see Ichiraku-san and Ayame smile at us. That's why I fight. This may not be the village where I was raised, but I love this place, and everyone in it. I'm not afraid to die, those who are deny the most blatant fact of life. Fearing death will do nothing. That's why I will fight you even if I may die.
He said gaining a smile from every villager there, JJ dropped into stance and continued.
JJ: The immortal words of the Nores, I am a wall to never be crossed by those who breed death. I hold two things in both hands, a sheild, strong enough to protect anything behind me. In the other, a sword strong enough to cut through anything that stands in my way. I am a protecter! My life shall be the gate that bars you from those I love. If you plan to stand in my way, I will kill you!
Insuru growled as JJ smiled mockingly at him.
JJ: Konoha, did you hear me? How many of you will fight with me!?
There was no clear answer, only the battlecry of millions of people. From every corner, from every crack, from every tree, from the far off forest, and the distant feild, even right from behind him. The voices of the people shook the mountians. JJ turned to Insuru with a bright smile as he asked.
JJ: Which one of us was outnumbered and outmatched again?
Insuru's playful nature became a distant memory and the darker side of the monster showed itself, however this didn't shake the boy who stood in front of him.
Insuru: I don't fear Fou-lu. I'll prove that by killing you and eating your flesh.
JJ: Well then bring it bitch.
He said with a chuckle.
JJ: But you might want to move fast, your soldiers are losing.
Insuru gazed around in disbelief. Old, young, man, woman, shinobi, civilian, all had stopped trying to hide and rose up against the sound and sand shinobi. He realized his mistake, he wanted to break the spirit of the villagers, but the boy's words moved them to fight. Their fears washed away, the opposite had happened.
(Flash)
S. ninja: Stay down, or else!
Heni: Or what?
The woman said walking forward with a large broom in her hands, that wasn't why the ninja hesiatated, it was because there were fifty others behind her, all holding their owns weapons. Quickly the ninja was over taken, many more replaced him, and tried to quell the mob, but a large hand slammed down on them.
Choji: There's no way I'm gonna sit still after what I just heard. Everyone, follow me!!!!
He shouted as he led the charge. Kakashi stood on the roof smiling under his mask.
Kakashi: I don't know about you Gai, but I'm tired of being shown up by kids.
Gai: That just shows how brightly the next generation's youth burns.
He said standing behind the man.
Kakashi: I'm not ready to be obsolete just yet. What about you?
Gai: If today is the day I die, then that will be that. However, as that boy said, I don't plan on dying today.
He said looking up to the roof JJ now stood on.
Kakashi: What do you say we get moving?
Gai: Let's.
He said as they both began to move. Ino ran through the streets holding tightly onto JJ's jacket for dear life. She wanted to help him, she wouldn't back down no matter what. Mika smiled and looked over to Naruto.
Mika: Will you be okay?
Naruto: Yeah, go help out in the village. Besides, ever since that girl showed up over here Sasuke and Shino's been watching me. I know they'll watch my back.
Mika turned and readied herself to leave before turning back.
Mika: Don't kill him.
Naruto: I don't plan to.
He said to her as she ran off. Once she was gone he looked over to Gaara and smiled.
Naruto: Just you and me now.
Gaara turned back to Naruto and frowned. Naruto didn't attack on purpose, he was letting him heal. He'd make him regret that. JJ stood tall and balled his fist as the eight Orochi heads moved in on him. Sarutobi stepped to the boy's side and Orochimaru stepped in front of them. Yubiki slowly broke her binds and frowned, ready to join the fight. All stood ready, the village was rising, the decisive battle had battle.
Chapter fourteen end.
________________________________________________________ ___________________________
Naruto: It's just me and you Gaara!
Gaara: I'll rip you apart Uzumaki!
Konohamaru: They're all fighting, I'll fight too, no matter what happens.
JJ: Bring it, I'll take you down!
Yubiki: Stand back little one. He's mine.
Next time on Eyes piercing the darkness: Leaf destruction part 2: Konoha stands!
JJ: Divided we fall!
All: But united we kick your ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the fastest I finished a chapter in a long time. Being able to write at home rocks. Man, this one was kind of left on a cliffy, but not really, If I were to force everything into one chapter it'd be too long to read, seeing as I usually fit two chapters into one anyway. I know, not as bloody as I promised, but tat's all for the next chapter, after all, we can't have the main course for an appetizer. I had more stuff I wanted to say, but I can't remember right now so fuck it. Now for the Omake!
Omake theater, open!
Canon/Omake 1: Yukari's rage.
Konohamaru sat down at a bench during training. He held his hand to his chin and thought, gaining the attention of his followers.
Moegi: What's wrong?
Hanabi: You've been like that for a while, something must be big.
Konohamaru leaned up to them slightly and grimaced.
Konohamaru: It's because I want to do something, but I can't do it.
Yu: Why?
She asked as she walked over, wiping the sweat from her brow as her long black hair flow behind her. Konohamaru sighed and answered.
Konohamaru: Because I don't know what will happen if I do.
Udon: Is it bad? 'sniff'
Konohamaru: That depends.
He answered vaguely, trying to dodge the subject.
Hanabi: Well, maybe if it feels wrong you should'nt do it.
Konohamaru: That's what I thought too, but every time I think about my heart starts beating really fast.
Moegi: That bad huh?
Yukari smiled and stepped forward.
Yu: Then I think you should go for it. I don't know what it is, but you seem passionate about. Just give your best shot.
She said with a smile that brought another to Konohamaru's face. Konohamaru stood to his feet and held shut his fist before saying with determination.
Konohamaru: Yeah, I'm gonna go for it.
All behind him rooted for whatever he was going to do. Then he turned around Yukari and placed the palms of his hands together with the whisper.
Konohamaru: Sorry, please forgive me.
Yukari was going to ask him what he meant, but that soon became impossible as he grabbed her shoulders and slammed his lips on hers. Yukari's eyes shot wide as all of the other girls stared in shock and Udon blushed slightly. Yukari didn't fight back, she was too shocked to do anything. Konohamaru pulled and said to the stunned girl.
Konohamaru: That was every bit as sweet I thought it would be.
Yukari couldn't say anything, it wasn't that Konohamaru was a bad kisser, she had never been kissed before, so far be it from her to say what was good or bad, but at the moment every rational thought in her head was telling her to kill the boy still holding her shoulders. She wanted him to die. With her sharingan blazing she punched into the boy's face, accompanied by two other fists. Hanabi pulled Yukari back as she rubbed her lips and tears brimmed her eyes.
Moegi: BAKA!!!!!!
Konohamaru couldn't hear her over the ringing in his head. After a moment of boiling Yukari shouted with venom.
Yu: I'm telling my nii-chan.
With those words she stomped off. All others decided that they wanted to be as far away from Konohamaru as possible. One hour later Sasuke was burning the village looking for Konohamaru when he saw Naruto walking down the street.
Sasuke: Where is he!?
He shouted with rage in his eyes. Yukari stood next to him and Naruto stared for a second before saying.
Naruto: How the hell did she find you? I've been looking for you for weeks and haven't found where you went.
Yu: He told me.
Naruto looked up to Sasuke and lifted an eyebrow.
Naruto: So your little sister keeps you in check?
Sasuke: Shut up! Where is he?
Naruto: Who?
Sasuke: You know who I mean, I know he'd run to you first. Where is he?
Naruto: Look, I don't know where anyone- RUN KONOHAMARU!!!!!!
Konohamaru: AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
The boy shouted as he ran from the bushes with his arms flailing, making Sasuke and Yukari give chase. Naruto watched them leave and then turned to a box.
Naruto: You can come out now.
Konohamaru emerged from the box and looked down the road.
Konohamaru: That was close. How long do you think it'll take them to figure out that's a clone?
Naruto: A while, they seem pretty mad so they might be running on blind rage at the moment. What did you do?
Konohamaru: I kind of stole Yu's first kiss.
Naruto:.........Dude.
Konohamaru: Hey don't look at me like that, in all fairness, she told me to do it.
She said bringing up a solid point, even though she wasn't aware of what he meant.
Naruto: ......Cop a feel?
Konohamaru: Of course.
Naruto: That's my boy! Pound it.
He said as the two knocked their fists together.
Naruto: As soon as the six stars above your head disappear, we're going to Ichiraku's. Just be sure not to pull a stunt like this anymore okay?
Konohamaru: Of course.
He said as he followed Naruto down the dirt road before a loud shout of "Dammit!". Naruto smiled and left two more clones of himself and the boy behind to once again throw them off their path. Sasuke was going to have a long day.
Omake 2: Fou-lu's role.
Insuru: Give it up boy, there's no way you can defeat us.
He said to the yound boy croutched over in pain. JJ coughed up blood and frowned up to his enemy.
(JJ: He's right, I'll have to use "that".)
JJ smiled and stood to his feet, pulling out what appeared to be a silver weapon.
JJ: I'll just have to call him out.
JJ pointed the weapon at his own head and smiled at the Orochi.
JJ: I'll calling you Fou-lu.
JJ placed his index finger on what appeared to be a trigger and slowly squeezed it.
JJ: Persona!!
He shouted out as the weapon shot something through his head and a shattering sound rang through the village. A quake shook under the Orochi and suddenly a shadow appeared over the boy that soon took the form of a silver-haired man with dark skin. The man smiled before changing into a large dragon. Wind gathered under the dragon as he inhaled and with a powerful roar he shot out a burst of light that incinerated everything it touched. Once it was over JJ's persona vanished and he smiled.
JJ: Persona 3 pwns, bitch!
Omake 3: Shikamaru's dream.
Shikamaru laid on the stuff grass, gazing up at the sky as the colors slowly began to blur. Stars fell from the sky and landed next to him softly creating a rythm.
Shikamaru: 'Sigh'
He said shifting to the side.
Shikamaru: Day and nite,I toss and turn, I keep stressing my mind, mind.
Unable to find comfort, the young boy sat up and stared at the sky.
Shikamaru: I look for peace, but see I don't attain.
Shikamau extended his hand and reached for the sky, but suddenly his hand hit a wall and he found himself in a maze with small dots pepered everywhere.
Shikamaru: What I need for keeps, this silly game we play, we play.
Shikamaru looked back and saw a giant Choji head coming at him, gobbling up the small spheres as he came after him. Navigating through the maze Shikamaru found himself back in the village, surrounded by sound ninja and giant snakes.
Shikamaru: Now look at this.
Shikamaru dropped his shoulders and sighed as they pulled out a piece of metal that forcefully pulled him forward.
Shikamaru: Madness, the magnet keeps attractin' me, me.
Shikamaru turned around and started to sprint away from the force.
Shikamaru: I try to run, but see, I'm not that fast.
The enemies behind him quickly caught up to him and then passed him, all with numbers on their chests as the world around them became a race track.
Shikamaru: I think I'm first, but surely finish last, last.
Shikamaru dropped his arms and sighed. With a quick turn he found himself standing at the edge of a cliff, a long red scarf around his neck blowing smoothly in the wind.
Shikamaru: Cause day n nite-
He said pulling down his scarf before taking a puff of the cigarette, gazing up at the night sky.
Shikamaru: The lonely stoner, seems to free his mind tonight. He's all alone and through the day and night.
He turned his back o the cliff and spread his arms wide.
Shikamaru: The lonely loner, seems to free his mind tonight, eh, eh, eh night.
With his eyes closed, Shikamaru free fell from the cliff, the wind rushing below him blew his scarf before his face. Smiling, he took another drag of his cigarette.
Shikamaru: Day and night, the lonely stoner seems to free his mind tonight. He's all alone, some things will never change.
The sun began to creep up to the sky and Shikamaru put his hands behind his head as his descent slwed down and he softly landed on a large patch of grass.
Shikamaru: The lonely loner seems to free his mind to tonight, eh, eh, eh night.
Shikamaru sat up as something in his pocket started to vibrate, quickly pulling it, he placed it to his ear.
Shikamaru: Hold the phone, the lonely stoner, Mr. Solo doe low.
He stood to his feet and and starting walking as the scenery of the village fell around him.
Shikamaru: He's on the move, can't seem to shake the shade.
A strange shadow stood in front of him and replayed his own life to him.
Shikamaru: Inside his dreams he sees the life he made, made.
He said stepping inside the shadow.
Shikamaru: The pain is deep.
Once inside felt a something aching in his chest, gripping it, he fell to the ground unconious. His soul flew from his body and gazed down at itself.
Shikamaru: A silent sleeper, you won't hear a peep, peep.
Shikamaru's soul returned to his body and he slowly turned up, finding himself in the chunin exams arena, with Temari coming down at him with her fan ready to crush him.
Shikamaru: The girl he wants don't seem to want him too.
He said rolling to the side, avoiding the attack. However, the second that Temari's fan landed on the ground she fashed it open and fiercely waved it at him, sending a powerful gale crashing into him, pinning him against the wall.
Shikamaru: It seems the feelings that she had are through, through.
Suddenly the force of the winds pushed him through the wall as if it were a paper bag, sending Shikamaru drifting through the air like a loose piece of paper.
Shikamaru: Cause day and night, the lonely stoner seems to free his mind tonight.
He turned downward as he puffed his cigarette, staring down at the village he was soaring over.
Shikamaru: He's all alone and through the day and night. The lonely loner seems to free his mind tonight, eh, eh, eh night.
The sun in the sky descended down into the ocean and cated the world in darkness. Shikamaru rolled in mid air as he scarf on his neck wavered behind him, dipping into scean he now flew over.
Shikamaru: Day and night, the lonely stoner seems to free his mind tonight, he's all alone some, things will never change. The lonely loner seems to free his mind tonight.
Flipping backwards, Shikamaru regained control of his body and readied to land as land rushed to cover the ocean below him.
Shikamaru: Eh, eh, eh night.
Shikamaru landed softly to his feet and turned to the side.
Shikamaru: Slow mo-
He side making the world and people around him slow down under the force of the world.
Shikamaru: When the tempo slows up and creates that new, new-
He said turning to the side twice, making two shadow images of himself appear at his side.
Shikamaru: He seem alive, through he is feeling blue.
He said waving down both arms, turning the entire world azure.
Shikamaru: The sun is shining, man he's super cool, cool. The lonely nights-
He said as the sun began to rise into the sky.
Shikamaru: They fade away, he slips into his white nikes.
He said changing his ninja shoes for a fresh pair of "Air Kages" before standing up and finishing his cigarette.
Shikamaru: He smokes a clip and then he's on the way.
Shikamaru's head burst open and his brain began to float into the air.
Shikamaru: To free his mind in search of, to free his mind in search of, to free his mind in search of-
He said as his brain fell back into his skull, sending a shockwave through his body.
Shikamaru: Day and Night.
As his eyes regained focus he locked them onto a stairway of light, leading all the way up to the sky. Proceeding to walk up them he continued.
Shikamaru: The lonely stoner seems to free his mind tonight, He's all alone and through the day and night. The lonely loner seems to free his to night. Eh, eh, eh night. Day and night, the lonely stoner seems to free his mind tonight. He's all alone, some things will never change.
He said as he reached the top of the staircase, right in front of the sun. Shikamaru pulled out another cigarette and held it up to the massive star, igniting it as he took a poof.
Shikamaru: The lonely loner seems to free his mind tonight-
As he breathed in the staircase below disappeared and he fell down to the earth in slow motion.
Shikamaru: Eh, eh, eh, night.
He said landing gently into his bed, rolling over into a deep slumber.
Omake theater, closed!
Sakura: Hi, everyone, welcome again to character Introduction corner.
JJ: Hey, when did you get here?
Ino: She was here two hours ago, I guess you beating her here last time must have really hit home.
Sakura twitched and grimaced at her friend's words.
Sakura: That's not why, it's because today's episode is special.
JJ: I guess it is.
Ino: Well, shall I began?
JJ: Feel free.
Ino coughed into her fist and let down a banner.
Ino: This is an all character appearance show, which will be for talking and answering questions, instead of the usual singling out, many people will come in to answer questions.
Sakura: Shall we begin?
Ino: Let's.
Naruto: Alright, shot.
Sakura: JJ, how come it is that Fou-lu can speak through you?
Naruto: I've wondered that too, Mom can't speak through my body, yet Fou-lu can speak through yours.
JJ: Actually, it's because Fou-lu sealed his soul into my body, Yubiki and Naruto are two seperate entities, even in the canon storyline, the kyuubi couldn't control Naruto's body, it just manipulated him through suggestion, or clouded his distinction to make him behave as it does. It never truly takes him over. Fou-lu and I however, are of one body and mind. We are the same person, and I also inherited his memories, which is why I'm so knowledgable as well as gaining his jutsus.
Hinata: Wow, so do you remember things from years ago?
JJ: Yes, but Fou-lu distanced himself from the human world, so I have very limited knowledge of it.
He said with a smile.
Yubiki: I have a question, why is Insuru such a dick?
She said gazing at said man, who smiled back at her.
JJ: Well, speaking as the author.
"SMASH"
Kiba: That was the sound of the fourth wall breaking!
He said with a smile as Akamaru barked at his side.
JJ: Because I have expectations of bad guys, I don't like to have villians that have a massive build up and then they wound up not really being that bad or strong in the end. Such as Orochimaru in the canon storyline who just got beat like he was nothing, things like that feel half-assed to me. I like for my bad guys to kick kittens, catapult babies, eat puppies, be sexist, ravenous, pretty much, I just want you to hate them. If someone's going to be evil, he's going to be evil as hell GUNDAMMIT!!!!
Gai: Let your youth burn!
JJ: Yes, that's how I write fanfiction dammit, and in my original stories as well. Cause that's how I roll.
Shikamaru: Hey, Day and night was about weed wasn't it, why did you use cigarettes.
JJ: Something about negative black stereotypes.
He said turning away.
JJ: I'd pretty much have people saying, oh so they all do love to smoke weed. I say for the record right now, that I do not smoke, and I've never been drunk......but I do rap.......Anyway.
Ino: What's the difference between half-demons and demi-gods?
JJ: Good question, I'll start with half demons.
He said pulling Yura in front of him, causing her to shreik a little.
JJ: Yura has distinct cat-like features that she inherited from her demon side, however, those characteristics can't be hidden or dsiguised without using clothing. Yubiki can hide her beast form easily by changing into the form of a human, however half demons like Yura are stuck in the middle.
He said pushing the girl into Kiba who caught her with a smile.
JJ: Can one of you without connections to another species tell me what Yubiki's most powerful form is?
Shino: It would be her beast form right?
He asked showing interest in the conversation.
JJ: Rght, yet can any of you tell me what Amateresu's most powerful form would be?
Tenten: The same right?
JJ: Wrong, Gods and Godesses are most powerful in the form of a human. The reason behind that because humans were created in the image of gods, however, their nature was created in the image of demons. In short, the appearance of humanity is that of the gods, but they tend to act like demons, which is why the fear them.
Sasuke: The old saying of people not liking something that reminds them of themself.
JJ: Exactly, because of this human genetics and the genes of the gods tend to mix well. The child will be born with a human body, meaning they'll be mortal, but they'll retain all of their godly powers. Because of their appearance, they can easily mix in with normal people. As generations pass, even in the event of continued breeding with humans, the power of the gods inside that child will grow. Mika and Raizen are such examples, however there are times when the powers will go unnoticed even by the descendant, such as Minato. However, Naruto's control over wind chakra is a dead give away. They all have different effects too, such as Mika only having to use an insgnifcant amount of chakra to move earth, and Raizen who can discharge amazing amounts of Lightning, but his chakra drains. It's like that.
He said as everyone gathered around him as if they were in class.
Insuru: Hey, sensei's a kid.
Aneha: Maybe he's a wizard too.
They said with mocking smiles before Yubiki smacked them both.
Yubiki: Queit, Sensei is teaching!
JJ: Thank you class rep-san. Anyway, now on to half demons, because their nature is akin to human and not appearance the genes don't mix as well. These children and permanately stuck in a middle form and can't blend into society, which makes them the target of many people who fear demons. Howver, don't attain their full demon power, but they do gain immortality, immense pyhsical strength and certain family traits. However, the reason why Yura can neutralize chakra is unknown, there have never been a case like that before. as time passes and continued breeding with humans, the demon blood begins to thin out and eventually becomes unnoticable, which is why Naruto is such a rare case. The breeding of a demon and a god is restrictly forbidden in law.
He said turning to the young boy.
JJ: However, Naruto is a human, a demon, and a god in the same body. Only for the veiwers, if you look back to the first chapter you'll notice Naruto's strange abilities, and this is something you'll need to remember. Naruto chakra was able to make trees grow and live underground. I'll give a cyber cookie to anyone who can figure it out.
JJ pulled on a cord and watched as a flyer unraveled in front of everyone. It read "HOTTEST GIRL IN ANIME POLL."
JJ: Now, that the chapter is over, I want you all to do something for me, my precious readers. I have a friend named KingKakashi, he's a pro and he rocks at writing fanfics, he's also one of my favorite authors. Right now he's holding a poll for the hottest, sexiest, and most beautiful girl in anime. Right now the poll is going strong, just search up his page a choose the top ten girls you like. Right now Hinata is winning.
Hinata: Wha?
Naruto: Hey!?
JJ: Well, she is hot, and at that she's also the beautiful girl on the inside too.
Naruto: Well, that true.
Hinata: Naruto-kun.
She said with a massive blush on her face.
Sakura: What about me, where do I rank?
JJ went wide eyed like a fish and stared at Sakura as everyone else did the same. After fifteen ackward seconds, everyone turned to the screen and smiled.
JJ: Anyway, that's all for this episode, next time we'll be back to the single interveiw.
Sakura: Hey, answer me!
JJ: So to everyone out there.
ALL: Shine eternal!!!!!!!!!
Sakura: Hey, answer me goddammit!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lower curtain!
For the Hottest girl in anime poll go to http://www.facfiction.net/u/1267156/
Breath of fire 4: For those of you who played the game, you know that Fou-lu held a very strong detest for humanity. He hated them and tended to favor animals over them. One of the bonds he created after freeing a beast from a dark curse drove the beast to sacrifice it's own life to help him progress, which is where JJ's ability to speak with animals is derived from. Also, JJ started to speak in old english when he was pushed into Fou-lu's persona, another direct draw from Breath of fire. As well as the term "endless" which is what trhe dragon were refered to, pretty much considering them gods.
Sonic the hedgehog: For those of you who read my omake, and the character introduction corner you would know this already, but if there are two things I could drag from my childhood with me at anytime, it's Sonic and Megaman. Two characters that I have the fondest memories of as a kid. Along with franchise above of course. Raizen is heavily inspired by Sonic and at many times I even have him use his speech, however Sonic is still faster.....for now.
Dragon quest 8: This was a rather small reference and I don't think that many people would've noticed it. On the game the king would have a strange habit of appearing out of nowhere, even when it doesn't make sense on how he got there, what with all the monsters in the dungeon and all. Whenever he does this Angus would always hop to the side and say "Cor blimy!" Which is what Mika did when Yubiki suddenly appeared at her side.
Now for something serious, I like writing stories and I love being able to have fun while doing so, however I know that there is a line to avoid and I try my best to avoid that line. However, sometimes I can misstep and if I ever crossed that line for anyone, know that I never meant it in ill will and I promise I'll do my best to not offend anyone. So, Thank you for reading and if any of you are bothered by something tell me and I promise I will fix it, unless it's the way I write because if so then go fuck yourself.
Now that that's out of the way, JJ once again goes out of his way to show everyone how much though he puts into his story and this is going to be a long chapter because of it. However, It will also be a revealing chapter as well, get ready for, Gaara vs team 14, Iruka vs Mizuki, yeah there was a reason I kept him alive, and many many more. Hold on to your seats, because this is going to be a dosey.
______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________
Leaf destruction part 1: A decisive battle begins.
Kiba: What the hell is going on?
Kiba asked standing to his feet in a rush, the feathers falling all around him were what seemed be a genjutsu.
Kiba: Yura, we have to move!
He shouted as Akamaru barked at his side to the girl, however Yura never budged, she sat still with her eyes cast to the ground. Suddenly Kiba began to wonder, why hadn't he been effected by the genjutsu? After staring for a while he noticed that the feathers dsintegrated before they could get near Yura.
Kiba: Yura, what are you-?
Yura: It's called chakra neutralization, I can completely suppress chakra within my range or even just to my choosing.
She said finally looking up at him, Kiba smiled and walked over to Yura.
Kiba: That's good, that means you can stop whatever is happening here.
Before Kiba could get any closer, Yura's hand flew past his face and after about two second, blood began to drip from a newly made scar. Yura smiled at Kiba as she slowly pulled her hand back.
Yura: Sorry Kiba-kun, but I'm not the one in danger here.
Kiba couldn't breath, it was as if time had stopped around him, however, Yura could still move. He didn't even notice that Yura's foot was coming for the side of his head. Once the hit connected Kiba was sent flying back over the stands, Yura's strength must have been monstrous. Akamaru struggled to keep up with his master, pumping his tiny legs as fast as they could go.
Yura: Are you already done?
She asked as she perched at the edge of one of the seats, staring down at Kiba as her eyes glowed like a cat's eyes in the dead of night. Kiba fought with himself as he pushed his arms to lift his body, but even that proved meaningless. Kiba frowned and cursed under his breath as Yura showed her fangs, some of which she had never shown.
Yura: Do you know anything of the woren clan?
She asked as if trying to give Kiba time to gain his stand once again.
Yura: They were a clan of demons that looked like humans with feline characteristics. However, their pyshical strength and natural balance drawfed that of a human's. They were natural ninja, however, they strayed away from that lifestyle. Do you know why?
Kiba didn't give an answer, he simply tried to pull himself up.
Yura: Because the humans were too scared to contract them, you see, a human under contract with a demon gives them right to slay humans, but if the demon does so on it's own, they will be struck down by the gods. Because the humans feared the worens, they were never given the leeway to attack humans as they pleased. However, human blood flows in my veins, so I remain unaffected by those laws.
A single kick sent the girl flying at Kiba, who still couldn't grasp what was going on, or truthfully he could, but he didn't want to believe it.
Kiba: Yura, you shouldn't be fighting me, their are enemy ninja around.
Even Kiba couldn't believe what he was saying, he knew what was coming next, but he didn't want to hear. He closed his eyes as Yura turned her back on him.
Yura: I am with those enemy ninja.
Kiba slowly opened his eyes, not fully, but just enough to see the ground.
Kiba: So I was a tool to you?
Yura: Yes.
She said looking away from him. Kiba growled and snapped up to his feet, Yura quickly turned around just in time to stop his claws from reaching her.
Kiba: So you were using me all along!
Yura: You got a problem with that?
She shouted back, pushing all of her weight back on Kiba, easily overpowering him. Kiba fell back and charged once again after the girl, sending a flurry of swipes at her that she fluidly managed to dodge. Kiba called after Akamaru, right now his taijutsu alone wasn't enough to take the girl. However, Kiba's chakra failed him, he couldn't summon it, let alone give enough for Akamaru to change.
Yura: Didn't you hear me earlier, fighting with me is a battle where jutsu aren't allowed. I can stop any type of chakra attack, and besides, I already know every weakness of you ninjutsu anyway.
She said before slamming her fist into Kiba's chest, knocking him back into a pillar. Kiba closed his eyes and slowly rose them back up just in time to see the girl's fist coming for him once again. Quickly rolling out of the way Kiba made his way down the isleways, trying to get out of the girl's range, however with her cat-like agility, she simply chased him by jumping from the top of the seats. Each time gaining on Kiba.
Kiba: Taijutsu's the only way to go, huh?
He asked mostly to himself before spinning around into a high kick. Yura smiled and flipped over it, effortlessly sending a reverse spin kick back at the boy, crashing the heel of her foot into his face. Kiba flew back through the seats and crashed against the back wall as Yura landed from her attack gracefully on the top of the seat behind her.
Yura: You must really suck at fighting when you can't use little Akamaru-kun to help you.
Kiba: Grrrrrr.
Yura: You're gonna growl, huh? Guess that means you're pretty mad.
Kiba: Why?
Yura: ......I was never your ally to begin with.
Kiba: Then why me?
Yura frowned and jumped from the seat before shouting.
Yura: You think I planned meeting you? I didn't even plan on being seen until I tripped, but then you forced your way into my life. You didn't even give me a chance to stop you. You brought this on yourself, if it hurts then you're to blame not me!
Kiba: Yura.
Yura: You don't know what it's like. I was always alone, I've never had anyone even care about me, I was ostrisized and attacked, the only way I could live was by leaving the village, but I had to eat and there weren't many wild animals where I lived. They let my mom die because of me, she died of a simple cold. Something that simple medicine could've helped with, but I couldn't lower her fever. When she wasn't there anymore they drove me from my home, even though we didn't even live in their village. They just wanted me gone. Orochimaru-sama freed me from them. He saved me from that life.
Kiba: Orochimaru?
Yura: Yeah, I work for a really scary man, and with my own eyes I saw what happened to people who don't do what he says. I'd rather be fighting thousands of your villagers than a pissed off Orochimaru.
Kiba was stunned once he saw the look in the girl's eyes.
Kiba: Are you afraid of him?
Yura: He's scary, but it sure beats the hell I used to live in. Have you ever felt that?
Kiba: I never needed to, You don't either, you don't have to work for him.
Yura: Hehe, I knew you'd say that. Maybe if I'd met you sooner, where were you when I was being attacked? I would've....been happy to be with you.
She said with a sad smile casting her eyes to the ground while speaking.
Yura: I might have even liked this place, I wouldn't have to feel this way. Kiba.....
She said looking away from the boy again, her words and Kiba's actions made Akamaru calm down, but he couldn't seem to understand what was happening, humans were complicated.
Yura: I shouldn't have fallen for you.
Kiba's eyes went wide, he wanted to stop her, but he couldn't, all he could do was watch her as she walked to the banister of the stadium.
Yura: Please don't die.
Was thing last thing she said, knocking Kiba from his stupor.
Kiba: Yura wait!
He shouted. Yura didn't budge, she flipped onto the roof and ran over to the red-headed girl in front on her.
Yura: Is the sheild in place Nee-chan?
Tayuya: How many times have I told you not to call me that you little shit. And don't ask me that like I don't know handle to handle my fucking job.
Yura: Right, sorry.
She said with a smile.
Tayuya: Remember that your job is to keep the anbu off of me!
Yura: I return your own words back to you.
She said with a smile as the ninja in front of her closed in.
Anbu: Hogake-sama!
He called out as he and his comrades closed in on the sheild. They leapt over Yura, seeing her as no threat, however, time seemingly stopped when they passed her. Their chakra had all, but vanished. One to her left, two to her right, numbers didn't matter at the moment, they had been stripped of their chakra and completely off guard thanks to the girl. Yura's foot flew into the face of the one on her left and then quickly over into the chest of the one to her right. In one swift movement she sent her leg back up into the stomach of the third ninja to her right. As time resumed all ninja were sent flying from the roof of the chunin exams stadium.
Yura: Sorry, but this is a closed arena, only the special guest can enter here.
She said with cold eyes, Tayuya whistled back at the girl's handiwork.
Tayuya: Not bad pip-squeak.
Yura: You haven't seen anything yet, and please don't call me pip-squeak nee-chan.
Tayuya: Don't call me nee-chan, brat!!
Kiba stared at the spot Yura was standing in as he watched Naruto start running after the two fighters who had left the stage, followed shortly after by JJ and Mika. Choji ran over to him and stopped once he saw the look on his face, not leaving the time to be troubled Choji called out to him.
Choji: Kiba, we have to move.
Kiba: I know!!!!!!!!!!
He growled as if using Choji to vent his frustrations. Kiba caught himself and looked back at the look of shock on Choji's face before saying.
Kiba: Sorry, you're right, we need to move.
He said as he ran up to Choji and cast one more look back at where the girl stood.
Kiba: Let's go Akamaru.
Akamaru: Arf.
His familiar barked to him before following at his pace.
[Neji]
Ishi: Wake up.
His girlfriend called out to him as she dispeled the genjutsu he had fallen under. Neji slowly opened his eyes just in time to see Naruto darting off from the stadium.
Neji: What's going on?
He asked as he sat up, completely unguarded. in an instant he completely assessed the situation and turned sharply to block a kunai flying for his head. After deflecting the kunai he locked on to the person who had thrown it and with only a flick of his wrist he managed to grab the kunai and hurl it back into it's owner's neck.
Neji: It seems we're under attack.
Ishi: Well we have been for the last few minutes while you were taking nap.
She said wearing a serious expression rare for the happy-go-lucky girl. Neji grabbed tightly onto her hand before making his way through the isles, ignoring the battle going on around them. Ishi looked around, there were so many people being thrown around yet, Neji seemed to be guiding him through effortlessly.
Ishi: Wait, where are we going?
She asked her the boy in front of her as he stopped and scanned the entire area before answering.
Neji: I need to get you somewhere safe.
Ishi snatched her hand from Neji and frowned.
Ishi: What are you talking about!?
She shouted to the boy who sharply turned back to her.
Neji: You are a princess, you can't be caught in a battle like this, once I find a safe place for you to hide I will return to the fight.
Ishi: Then hide with me.
Neji: I can't do that.
Ishi: My thoughts exactly. Neji, I love you and I know you feel the same way, but there's a difference between protecting and sheltering me. I am a princess, but right now I'm a shinobi of the leaf village. I fight with you, or else there's no point in me even being here. Or being worthy of the Hyuuga clan's genius. Right?
She said with a warm smile, Neji sighed and smiled back before he caught sight of something flying for Ishi. Neji ran for her, but failed to reach in time before a solid spear could pierce the girl's back.
Neji: Ishi-hime!
He shouted a blood curling scream. Ishi however just smiled as her body burst into hundreds of tiny snakes and they fell to the ground. In almost second the snakes closed the distance between themselves and the sound ninja that had thrown it. The snakes leapt from the floor and wrapped around the ninja's neck before they from back into Ishi, who span to the back of the ninja and slammed her feet into his back, knocking him into the air. Before the ninja could recover Ishi slammed a thick snake into his chest and forming a fracture with his back from the impact. Once the ninja dropped another jumped from behind her and much to his surprise a flame appeared between him and the girl. The flame burned, but not enough to kill him. Once his eyes reopened he saw a snake coming straight for his face, the collision sent him spinning back at which time Ishi slammed her snake into his back and cracked the ground under her, not only that, the impact managed to send the man through the floor.
Ishi: I'm not as weak as I once was.
She said causing another ninja to freeze at her side. She formed into the many tiny snakes again and latched her fangs onto the ninja's arms before flipping him backwards. Ishi let go and returned to her normal form before locking her eyes on the man and blasting him back through the stone support beams on the arena. Ishi turned around to Neji and said.
Ishi: Choji and Kiba are coming.
Neji couldn't even register what the girl had said, he was in shock and awe. By the time he could even think of something Kiba was right behind him.
Kiba: Neji, Ishi, you're alright, come on we have to get moving.
Neji: Yeah.
He replied not really paying attention to what his friend had said. Ishi however just walked up to Neji and pulled him toward the other boys before she asked Kiba.
Ishi: Hey, where is Yura?
Kiba stopped and frowned before he said.
Yura: She's up there.
Ishi: Then why aren't you helping her.
Kiba: .........Because helping her would mean killing you.
He said walking forward. It didn't take long for everyone to gather what that meant. With a heavy sigh they followed behind Kiba, none asking any questions as to the girl or what happened when he found out.
[Lee]
It had been a while since Tenten had woken Lee from his genjutsu induced slumber. She remembered Gai's words before he left off to fight.
[Gai: Tenten, I need to to protect Lee for me, I cannot stay here to look after him, but he is the most important thing in this world to me. Please take good care of him.]
Tenten held tightly onto Lee's arm as she carried him away from the stadium.
Tenten: [I didn't need you to tell me that Sensei.]
She said looking over to Lee as he struggled to keep up with her pace.
Lee: It is okay Tenten, I can walk on my own.
Tenten: You keep saying that, but why haven't I let go yet?
She said in a sarcastic tone that made Lee sigh, both extremely worried about the other. Lee noticed the shinobi quicky coming up on them and looked around. His arm and leg may have been hurt, but his senses hadn't dulled in the slightest.
Lee: Two ninja coming up fast.
Tenten: I know.
She replied as she let Lee down against the wall and awaited the aproaching enemies. Lee frowned at his state and stood back to his feet, if he was going to die then he wasn't going to die laying down. Tenten held off both ninja on her own, but one of the ninja slammed a blade down on her own, leaving her wide open for the other ninja's attack, once she noticed she tried to move, but the ninja she was cashing with simply pressed his weight down on her, stopping her in place. She could feel the blade behind her closing in on her back, and even worse, she could feel the bloodlust the ninja was radiating. She closed her eyes and readied for the strike, but instead of the sound of piercing flesh, came the sound of bones crunching. When she looked back she saw Lee's right foot crashing into the ninja's head, instantly killing him, afterward he placed his crutch firmly on the ground before pushing himself into the air, completely ignoring the pain, before he slammed his right foot into the face of the ninja in the clash with Tenten. Lee landed on the ground and turned back to Tenten as he smiled. Tenten stood in shock before Lee replied.
Lee: What? I'm crippled, not dead.
He said before he started to walk off. Tenten shook her head and smiled at the boy before quickly went over to hold him up again, all the while ignoring his protest. It didn't take long from them to be reunited with the other four of their friends still in the stands. Yubiki stared across on a roof far from the feild, as if waiting for something, not wanting to alert the enemy of her presence until they showed themself. She frowned and tried to hold back the urge to help the "young man" fighting with Orochimaru.
Yubiki: Where are you?
She thought out loud to herself, hoping that the one she sought would soon appear.
[Iruka]
Iruka: Quickly clear the building!
He shouted to the other teachers in the area as they guided the children to the outside. Cursing aloud he ran trough the halls of the academy in search of stragglers. Once he reached the outside he looked around and asked.
Iruka: Is anyone not here?
Natono: Ah, Iruka-sensei, Kana's not here.
The young boy called out to his teacher, without thinking Iruka made his way back into the school frantically looking through the classes once again, until finally he stopped at a door and looked in. A deep frown crossed his face and he slowly walked into the room. With venom he spit out the name of the person he saw.
Iruka: Hello Mizuki.
A smile crossed the face of the man as he held a small girl on his lap, crying as she gazed at her teacher.
Mizuki: It's been a while since I've seen you and this is how you greet me?
He asked with a sickeningly friendly smile as he held a kunai to the arch of the girl's neck.
Mizuki: I just wanted to catch up and ask you some questions, like about little Kana here, Orochimaru-sama has been looking for new hopefuls, do you think she'll do?
Iruka: Let her go Mizuki.
Mizuki: You know, I was never really one to look away when someone wronged me. And I still want to get those two brats back for what they did to me, but right now Gaara's probably doing that for me. I'll just have to settle for the next person on my list. Can you guess who that is?
He asked brining the kunai closer to the girl's neck, gaining a satisfying whelp from her.
Iruka: If this is what you want I won't back down, but let the girl go!
He shouted finally losing the cool mask he had been wearing. Mizuki cleared his face and removed his hand from the girl, giving her the freedom to run to her teacher. With her arms now latched around Iruka she looked back at Mizuki.
Iruka: Run along Kana, go outside and join the others.
Kana: But-
Iruka: This is no place to be right now, just go alright.
He said to the young girl without taking his gaze away from Mizuki. Kana looked at her teacher and nodded before she ran to the outside, looking back many times before she actually made it away.
Mizuki: Isn't that sweet, she was worried about you.
Iruka: It's a sign that you're good teacher, I'm guessing you wouldn't know it.
Mizuki: I guess not.
He said standing to his feet, seemingly growing bigger as he did.
Mizuki: I've waited a long time for this old friend. The day I get to crush that head of yours between my fingers.
Iruka heard a loud roar coming from smewhere further in the village, that must have meant that this wasn't the only big battle going on at the moment. Someone somewhere was having one hell of a battle, but at the moment he had to focus on his own. With each step Mizuki seemed to keep growing until he looked like a giant two legged tiger. As he stalked forth he began to speak.
Mizuki: I'll be sure to make this take as long as possible.
Iruka: Don't rush on my account.
He said as he readied himself for the 15-foot behemoth as he walked closer. Mizuki crashed his fist down for Iruka, who quickly rolled to the side in time to dodge the attack. He didn't know what he was going to do next, but he had to think fast. He quickly dug around in his pouch for something to use so he could buy time. After cycling through everything he had a smile cross his face, he had a plan, but it was going to take some time to set up, time Mizuki wasn't going to give him. Before Iruka could even finish Mizuki latched his hand onto his neck and slammed him up into the ceiling. After a satisifying grunt from the man he quickly span around and hurled him through the wall to the side of them. Iruka was blasted back into the wall of another building and slowly fell to the ground before casting his gaze at the quickly approaching Mizuki. With a smile the man swung his arm down at Iruka before it was deflected by someone's arm, he didn't know what was happening, but soon caught a rough awakening when the arm was accompanied by a foot going up into his chin. Mizuki stumbled back before a quick palm was thrusted into his chest, knocking him back ten feet before he collapsed to his knees. Mizuki looked forward and muc to his surprise there was a young girl standing in front of him.
Hinata: I thought you were dead.
She said with cold eyes. Suddenly she was joined by Kiba, Choji, Neji, Hanabi, Lee, Ishi, and Tenten. Hinata's glare was strange to everyone who saw it, the girl was kind hearted and forgiving, but kidnapping her little sister, throwing her into the hands of a man who wanted to kill her boyfriend and her big brother, which soon led to a race against time for her little sister's life was something that went far beyond the range of forgiveness. Hinata frowned at Mizuki as rage began to fill her, silently hooping that the man would run back after her, which he quickly did. Hinata readied herself as he friends did the same, however Iruka quickly ran past them and jumped to the side of Mizuki before he latched his hands on the side of his face, causing his body to loop around. Iruka gave a loud roar before he slammed his knee into the man's face. Mizuki coughed up blood and Iruka gave him no time to rest before he placed both legs on the man's chest and slammed his elbow down into his face. Before Mizuki could even stumble Iruka tightly closd his fist and punched fiercely down into Mizuki's face, knocking him down to the ground with a massive crash. Iruka flipped back away from Mizuki and cocked an eye back to the children behind him.
Iruka: I'd have to be the worst teacher ever to let me student do the fighting for me. I'm sorry guys, but you're going to have to leave this to me.
He said turning back to Mizuki. Hinata opened her mouth to object, but Iruka lifted a hand to her.
Iruka: Do you know what my most important job is as a teacher?
He asked back to all of his former students.
Iruka: It's to insure the future of Konoha's shinobi. You all may be ninja now, but you are still Konoha's future, this is my fight, but can you please make sure that these children get somewhere safe?
He asked as pointed back to the scared children behind him. Neji placed a hand on Hinata's shoulder and nodded to Iruka.
Neji: We will make sure to do that for you.
Iruka: Thank you.
He replied with a smile. Neji led the team and the children from the school, but Hinata stayed behind before she said in the coldest of voices.
Hinata: If I leave this to you, will you promise me that he will no longer be breathing by the end of the day?
Iruka:......You have may word.
Hinata started to walk away before she said one more thing.
Hinata: You know, if you die Yubiki will kill you.
Iruka: I'm vaguely aware.
He said with a smile as he watched Mizuki rise to his feet.
Mizuki: Nice cheap shot.
He said wiping the blood from his mouth.
Iruka: There are no cheap shots in the world of shinobi.
He said preparing himself after making sure that Hinata had left the battlefeild, which she had. Mizuki charged for his former friend and pulled back his fist, a swift wind brushed passed Iruka face, but nothing made contact with him, Mizuki missed on purpose and Iruka could see why.Mizuki's fist was latched onto the wall behind him and with tremendous force Mizuki dragged the bottom half of his body toward Iruka, who couldn't even dodge before the leg slammed him through the wall. Iruka flew through desks and even another wall before finally coming to a stop. Iruka flipped back to his feet just in time to dodge the massive fist coming down on him. The pain in his chest quickly stinted his movement. At the moment Iruka didn't have the luxury of waiting for the pain to go away and to nurse his wound. A sharp step forward and he was rushing toward Mizuki once again, who pulled a large shuriken from his back and hastily threw it at Iruka. Iruka never slowed down, he just leaned back down to his knees and slid under the shuriken while still gaining distance. Once under the shuriken Iruka swiftly moved his right leg to his left side and sent him into a spin before leaping into the air with a spiral kick to Mizuki's face knocking the massive man down to the ground. Iuka smiled before slapping his hand against the wall.
Mizuki: Iruka!!!!
He shouted as he charged the smaller man and slammed him back into the wall. As he pinned him against the wall he whispered.
Mizuki: You were never anything special, you're just another faceless shinobi with a name.
He said as he reared back and jammed his massive fist into Iruka's stomach.
Mizuki: Tell me, what does imminent death look like?
Iruka looked up to Mizuki and smiled as bad dripped from his mouth.
Iruka: Ugly as all hell.
He said with a chuckle as he looked at Mizuki. Mizuki frowned and roared before he grabbed tightly onto Iruka's neck and slammed him back into the floor.
Mizuki: Why don't we redecorate a little.
He said before lifting and slamming Iruka into every solid thing he could see, walls, chairs, desks, the ceiling, everything in the room was shattered by Iruka's back and each time he hit something, he slapped his hand against it, never once did he stop planning, even when being pounded into the ground. Once his plan was ready Iruka slammed his foot into Mizuki's face and slashed kunai across his wrist, forcing the man to let go. Iruka then ran from the large hole in the wall Mizuki had made before he turned back and smiled.
Iruka: Sorry Mizuki, but this is where you end.
He said holding up and handsign. Mizuki only then noticed all of the explosive tags around then room, Iruka had tricked him into a giant blast chamber.
Mizuki: You son of a bitch!
He shouted as he ran for Iruka once again, and once again, falling for his trap. Iruka pulled a kunai with his left hand and revealed a final tag tied to the ring at the bottom. With a quick jump back he launched the kunai into Mizuki's chest knocking him back into the room. Once the tag on the kunai exploded the entire room was taken with it, then half of the entire building. With a sigh of releif Iruka turned around and began to walk away before quickly pulling his shuriken from his back and spinning it. Iruka turned back as Mizuki jumped from the rubble dripping with blood, from anyone looking the picture looked like a lion pouncing on a lone hunter.Iruka dragging his shuriken upward and ripped through Mizuki's chest. Mizuki roled back to the ground and looked up weakly before Iruka dragged his kunai down across his chest. Multiple swings, each landed on their mark as Iruka ripped Mizuki to shreds. As Mizuki gasped for air Iruka drew back his shuriken and launched it at Mizuki's chest.
Iruka: Chakra link! Slash ripper!
He shouted as chakra blades emerged from the shuriken and ripped deep into Mizuki's chest before blasting him back through into the rubble of the building. Mizuki's eyes gazed emptily at the sky above and cursed aloud, his body wouldn't move anymore, however, he could feel something standing over him.
Mizuki: To think I would lose to you. After everything that I went through, I lost to weakling Iruka.
Iruka: I was never as weak as you thought I was, maybe it was just some illusion that you made up that caused you to lose.
Mizuki: You and Yubiki, you know that it's a fleeting dream.
Iruka: Yeah I know, but I don't think that I want to let that thought go.
Mizuki: And that's what makes you seem so weak.
He said a chuckle that dragged pain through every part of his body.
Iruka: I don't think I hate her anymore, I've spent a lot of time with her, she can be scary, she's really strong, but I've also seen her happy, care-free, and kind. If I had known what happened to Neko back then, I probably would've reacted the same way as her.
Mizuki: So you forgive her?
He asked as if he wasn't dying, both of them waiting until the last moment to talk like friends.
Iruka: I won't forgive what she's done, but I don't hate her.
Mizuki laughed at Iruka again and sighed before saying.
Mizuki: I could'nt forgive her, even if I knew the cause, I had given up so much, that I couldn't just turn back. Maybe I'm weaker than you, the one who was able to forgive. I won't apologize for anything, just make sure that you follow the road you chose until you reach the end, just like I did.
He said before his eyes finally lost all life. Iruka walked away from Mizuki and sghed before he looked up to the sky.
????: It's been a while Yubiki.
Iruka turned back to the origin of the voice and stared in shock, the voice was being projected from everywhere in the village.
Iruka: What the hell is going on?
[Moments before Iruka's fight]
Sasuke stared at Gaara, eyes burning red at the young jinchuuriki. He knew that the others had been slowed down by something, but Gaara didn't care, his prey had walked right in front of him. An appetitizer for the main dish, he could tell that all three of his true goals were coming for him. He also felt the presence of two other coming at him at high speed.
Sasuke: Raizen's on his way. I'll finish this before he can make it.
[Msic que: Arms of sorrow by-Killswitch engage.]
Gaara mind flew around as he looked at Sasuke, quickly flying to his past. He smiled a sickening grin as he licked his lips. Sasuke pictured his older brother in his mind, he gripped tightly onto his left arm and charged his chidori, his curse mark slowly taking over his body. Both roared at one another before leaping at their opponent. Naruto ran through the forest, dodging the many trees, before JJ landed at his side and quickly caught up to his pace. Mika soon landed at his side and caused the ground to upheaval under her feet before quickly disintgrating into the wind. All three closed in on the battle, quickly noticing the changes since Sasuke had started to fight, Sasuke was doubled over in pain, Raizen was standing toe to toe with Gaara and Sakura was pressed against a tree, with and covering her body up to her neck.
Gaara: Hehe, about time!
Gaara quickly turned to his new prey and lifted his hand, catching them off guard, his sand blast them back into a large canyon in the forest (Where Jiraiya pushed Naruto in the actual story) As they fell down into the deep pit Naruto's became enveloped in the cloak of the fox. Naruto lashed out both of his arms and clawed into the gap between the fissure before he looked up at his teammates. JJ jumped from wall to wall before slamming his sword into it forcing himself to a stop before looking back up at Mika. Mika slammed both of her hand together and created a bridge below her, once she fell passed it she grabbed it with both hands and flipped herself onto it before looking up. What she saw was Gaara falling down after them, half taken over by the shukaku drool flying from the side of his mouth as he laughed after them.
Gaara: Make feel alive!
Gaara quickly descended down on Mika and lashed out the sand behind him, completely blocking out the sun from above. Mika tried to change it before it could hit her, but it came down to fast, instead she abandoned her perch and jumped away from Gaara as he crashed through her bridge and slammed his fist into her back before she could get away. Gaara's sand whiped forward after Mika as many long arms before JJ jumped up and threw her out of the way, leaving himself to be caught by the attack. Gaara laughed as he slammed his fist shut, causing the sand entraping the boy to suddenly compress him. However much to his surprise the boy re-emerged from the attack as a massive dragon and roared after Gaara before sending a flame up after him, which was stoped by Gaara's sand. JJ grabbed Mika before hurling her up into Gaara's sand, he second she hit she broke through as if it were a wall and slammed her fist into Gaara's face. Naruto tossed himself into the air and slammed his aura into Gaara's chest before sending a flurry of punches into his face. Gaara slammed his fist into Naruto face and pummelled him with tons of sand before JJ flew through it and crashed his massive fist into Gaara's face, knocking him from the canyon.
Mika: Now!
Naruto leapt up with Gaara and slammed his fist into his stomach, giving Mika the chance to attack. With a graceful spin, she sent an arc of stone from the ground all the way back down crashing into Gaara's chest. Even with all these attacks, Gaara seemed to smile as he fell back into the wide feild below. Gaara closed his eyes and the ground below turned to sand before bounding from the ground and swallowing Gaara. Before Gaara could land the sand took the form of a giant raccoon that stood taller than the entire forest. The Shukaku smiled before giving a massive roar that shook the entire area.
Shukaku: It feels so good to be free again!
He shouted as he sent a blast of wind at the three kids still in the air. JJ was blasted back throught the air once his wings caught the gust and Naruto dived down at Gaara before turning his cloak into a long sword, in some ways akin to Gamabunta's something he had learned during his training with the toad, before he slashed it through the Shukaku's chest, only managing to split the large demon in half, not managing to do any damage. It's large hand slammed down into Naruto and knocked him into the ground with such force that he bounced back up as if he were a basketball.
Mika: Raahhhh!
She screamed her battlecry as she summoned two massive pikes that pierced throught Shukaku's chest before it could regenerate the split Naruto had put in it. Both pikes quickly turned to sand and melted down to the ground before rushing at Mika, who formed it under her as a small slab of stone before surfing along the sand as if it were water. JJ returned with a loud roar as he flew down at the massive monster, this time in his most powerful form. JJ clutched his ryuu-o-jinn and it turned into a sword of light. JJ slashed vertically through the massive monster, but once again sword seemed to have no effect at causing damage that couldn't be remedied by simply healing or restoring sand to the spot. The Shukaku reached up and ripped JJ from the sky before blasting it's sand on him like a cannon, launching him once again through the sky. Naruto re-emerged from the forest behind the massive sand rodent before quickly running up his body as JJ recovered mid flight and reverted back to his normal form, and Mika slammed her fist on the ground, making a slab of rock shot up from under her, launching her onto the Shukaku's chest. JJ landed on the beast's arm and started to run for it's head as other two started doing the same. Sand clones of Gaara started t emerge from the behemoth's body and charge after the young children. Naruto slashed through seven with a single swing and dodged the many others falling down at him, finally understanding what it most fell like to fight himself. Mika stood on the stomach of the shukaku and smiled as Gaara's clones closed in, with a quick step down she formed the entire stomach into a large boulder before she punched down, shattering the entire section. Mika jumped onto one of the stones and shot herself up higher into the sky before landing on the Shukaku's neck. Both Naruto and JJ smiled before taking advantage of Mika's attack. Naruto leapt up and ran to meet up with JJ and Mika as they ran for the Shukaku's obvious weakspot, Gaara, unconcious on top of the monster's head. Before they could however, all three found themselves staring at the demon's face as it turned around by shifting the sand around. Once again it sent a massive roar that echoed throughout the forest and sent the children flying through the sky. JJ saw something coming after them and frowned before grabbing tightly onto Naruto's hand and launched him after the demon once again. After Naruto was out of the way the Shukaku's arm slammed into JJ crushing him into the ground, then it winded around and smacked Mika down into the forest at breakneck speed. Naruto frowned as both of his teammates had been disposed of. JJ could've dodged that attack, but he chose to place his faith in him, so would he. powewrful blasts of wind flew after the young boy, but a quick handsign and a clone appeared next to him before hurling him out of the way.
Naruto: Echo pulse!!!!
At his shout, the boy continued to repeat the process of making clones throw him, until he was flying to fast for the wind to stop, instead it seemed as if he was harnessing the gusts of wind to make himself move faster. Gaara's sand clones reached for him after he reached the top of the shukaku's head, but he blasted right through them.
Naruto: Wake the fuck up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He shouted before slamming a fist into the boy's face, giving him a rude awakening from his slumber. Naruto stopped himself as Gaara gazed back at him, madder than two cats in a shower with the water turned on. Naruto turned back with a smile and shouted before he lifted his leg into the air. Gaara reached up to block, but his arms caved under the strength of Naruto's kick. Because of Gamabunta, Naruto had experience fighting massive opponents, Gaara's eyes went wide as he felt the thunder cracking through his head. The Shukaku's body started to shatter and both boys fell through as the sand fell around them. Naruto free fell above Gaara before smiling at the boy, both looked into each other's eyes and reared back their fists. Gaara's fist crashed into Naruto stomach as Naruto's crashed into Gaara's face, both were thorwn into the ground as the sand covered the entire feild they were in. JJ stood to his feet and dusted himself off.
JJ: Thank god I used my dragon skin in time.
He said with a smile, even though there was blood on his clothes, showing signs that his dragonskin wasn't the perfect and impregnable armor he bluffed it to be. Mika walked back into the feild as well, cracking her arm back into place without showing the slightest inklng of pain.
JJ: Are you sure that didn't hurt?
Mika: I don't show pain like most people.
She said once again speaking of her past life, when she was an emotionless doll. Mika walked to JJ and gazed at Naruto and Gaara before both stood to their feet. At the moment they all stood in what looked to be a patch of desert. Gaara was in his element and they were at a clear disadvantage, however Gaara was still winded and the numerous wounds on his body showed the signs of his fatigue. JJ and Mika started walking up to Naruto before someone dropped in front of Gaara.
Temari: Stop hurting Gaara!!!!
She shouted with rage in her eyes, nearly on the verge of tears. She never thought she'd see the day when Gaara would be over-powered, but when she did, she couldn't handle it.
Gaara: Get out of my way.
He said with cold eyes, Temari shook, but didn't move, instead she pulled her fan from her back and readied herself for battle.
Naruto: Fine, I'll fight you alone from here on Gaara!
He shouted over to his opponent shocking his two teammates, the two people he considered siblings, right now he couldn't fight with them. He needed to be the one to beat Gaara, he needed to stop him. Temari stopped and looked back at Gaara as he placed his hand on her shoulder and pushed her to the side before stepping forward.
Naruto: I can give you time to heal if you want, I don't want any excuses.
Gaara: I don't need any rest. I'll kill you right here and now.
JJ and Mika stepped back, understanding Naruto's motives, he wanted to face the boy just like him, but also, he had a promise to keep. He told Gaara that he would be the one to beat him when he hurt Lee, and he planned to make good on that.
????: It's been a while Yubiki.
The voice brought an abrupt stop to the entire area. Naruto looked away, the voice came from everywhere, even Gaara seemed to be distracted by the sudden outburst.
JJ: Sonic projection? Sounds like someone wants us to hear something.
He said as he looked into the sky.
[During the fight with Gaara.]
Ino: Dammit!
She shouted as she ran through the streets. JJ's jacket fluttered on her back, gripping tightly onto it she moved forward. She wondered why he had given it to her before he left, before at the moment she had to focus on what was happening, she needed to be somewhere. The enemy had engaged her many tmes on her trek, but somehow she managed to make it through. She dodged a hail of kunai and looked up toward the ninja staring down at her. With a click of her teeth she resumed her sprint, trying to lose the ninja behind her. She was so focused on running that she never noticed that the ninja had stopped chasing her. Their shadows were held tightly in place. All of the ninja faced the opposite way of the person binding them, with a quick flick of his wrist Shikamaru throw a single shuriken into the back of their heads, one by one, he picked them off as if he were playing target practice. Once he had elimanted all of his enemies he rubbed the back of his neck and sighed.
Shikamaru: Where is that troublesome woman going?
He asked himself before trying to go after her, but another group of ninja fell in front of him, his pursuit of Ino temporarily halted. The girl ran through the streets and almost tripped as she turned the corner.
Ino: Please tell me it's still there.
She thought aloud, until finally she made it through her family's flower shop. With a smile she stood in front of it and turned back to the ninja following her. A kunai tightly gripped in both hands, Ino prepared to fight of her enemies.
Ino: Stay back!
Harou: What makes you think I should listen to you?
He said walking slowly forward.
Harou: This place must be important to you. What do you boys think?
His comrades laughed, the girl was nothig more than a joke to them as she gripped onto her kunai.
Ino: [Dad, where are you?]
Ino took a step back and threw the kunai at the ninja. Harou moved out of the way and narrowly managed to stop the girl's foot flying for his face.
Harou: Nice, but your mistake was getting too close to me.
He said as he gripped onto her leg and sent a knee to her stomach, Ino coughed hard and lost balance in the leg supporting her, leaving Harou to lift her up by her other leg.
Harou: Now that I get a good look at you, you're kinda cute, maybe I'll take you home and train you.
Ino frowned and sent a quick right jab at Harou, despite the fact that she was upside down. Harou dodged it a smiled before slamming the slender girl into the ground as if she were a club. Harou looked down at Ino as she struggled to catch her breath and then looked back at his subordinates.
Harou: Burn it.
He said with cold eyes. Ino's head snapped up and she shouted at them, trying to lift herself, but Harou placed his foot on her head and held her down. Ino could do little more than watch as the place she held dear, slowly began to burn. The flames grew, rising to the sky as tears leaked from Ino's eyes.
Ino: Bastard. Bastard!!!!!!
Harou: Heh, what does it matter, we planned to burn this whole place to the ground anyway.
She shouted to him, only managing to invoke laughter from him as the other ninjas quickly join in.
????: You guys are sick!
A girls voice came from nowhere. suddenly one of the ninja's head flew off with a smooth cutting sound. Yukari landed on the ground and frowned up at the ninja with her sharingan blazing as strong as the flame behind her.
Yu: Get your foot off of her.
Harou: An Uchiha, Orochimaru-sama will be pleased if I take her back. Hey girl, drop your sharingan or I'll crush this girl's head.
Yukari didn't flinch, instead her sharingan flashed for a second and suddenly Harou was sent flying.
Yukari: 2 seconds, only eight left.
She said, keeping track of her demon eye limit. Ino slowly stood to her feet and looked at the fire with a sharp pain in her chest. None of the nnja understood what had happened, but they knew that it was the girl's doing. Yukari turned away from the man and brought her attention to the ninja lundging for her. With two quick swipes she slashed off the man's leg and then sent her dagger roughly through his back. Itachi had taught her well, never let the enemy live. She smiled, too bad she would have to use that on him one day. Another ninja came for the young girl, but not before Ino stepped in front of her. With a fluid motion she tossed a kunai into the air like a coin and spin into a kick that collided with the back of the kunai, slamming it into the man's head. Ino kept her leg in the air and quickly turned into a sweep kick that connected with the next enemy. When he tripped Ino brought back up the same leg and slammed it on the back of his head, holding him against the flame that was once her family's flower shop. Ino held him down with cold eyes as he screamed, burning and flailing, Ino never once pulled her foot away, not until the moving stopped. Once she removed her foot she turned back to Harou and pulled two kunai from her pouch, holding both in the underhand position in both hands before walking forward. Harou readied himself for the girl and grimaced before punching down at her, Ino effortlessly ducked under it with a spin. Harou brought back his fist and tried to slam it into Ino, however once again the girl managed to dodge it with little effort. Ino dragged both of her kunai across the man's wrist, and then stabbed one into the man's leg, bringing him down, with another spin she stabbed the other kunai into his kidney, once the man fell to his knees Ino quickly stood behind him and placed both kunai to his throat. Harou started to hypoventilate, but Ino kept a cold face, and said to him with no remorse of pity.
Ino: Your mistake was getting too close to me.
With his words thrown back at him Ino ripped roughly through his jugular and let them man fall to the ground as his blood flew to coat the entire area. Ino dropped her kunai and turned back to the crowd of ninja descending on her. It didn't take a second for them all to fall to the ground with as numerous parts of their bodies fell to the ground before the rest of it. Yukari stood behind Ino, gripping her eyes as she feel to her knees.
Yu: Are you okay Ino-neechan?
Ino: I should be asking you that.
She said lifting the girl, never once taking her eyes from her burning building.
Yu: Sorry.
Ino: No, it's their fault.
Konohamaru: YU!
Both girls turned back to the young boy as he ran over to them. Yukari frowned as he got closer and tried to move away, but her fatigue was too great, before she got to Ino she had been locked in many battles. She silently wondered why she decided not to go with Hanabi when she joined her sister.
Konohamaru: Are you hurt?
He asked reaching a hand for her, which the girl knocked away before shouting.
Yu: Don't touch me! I didn't forget what you did to me!
Konohamaru looked away and blushed before shaking it off and retorting.
Konohamaru: Now's not the time for that dammit, if you're tired we need to get you out of here.
Moegi: He's right, youre going to get hurt.
Yu: I can handle myself.
She said standing to her feet, before collapsing once again. Ino gently squeezed on the girl's neck, causing her to fall unconcious. Ino turned back to Konohamaru and sighed before saying.
Ino: I don't know what you did to her, but right now I need you to take her somewhere safe.
Konohamaru: Come with us!
Ino: Not yet, I, I don't want to run away yet.
Konohamaru: But-
Ino: Please.......
She said looking down to the ground, Konohamaru looked at the flame for the first time and heard something wet drop to the ground. He didn't turn back to Ino, but he knew what that sound was. Udon placed a hand on his back and nodded before all, carried Yukari away from the fight.
Ino: I couldn't do anything.
She said before looking up to the sky. Yubiki looked down at the girl, she knew that the girl was one of Naruto's friends, but at the moment she couldn't help her. If who she was waiting for arrived on the scene and she wasn't ready to fight, Sarutobi would be killed. She had to hold back her emotions, at least for now. Behind her a snake prepared to snap down on her, but without even turning back she grabbed onto it and sent forth her chakra, causing the snake to explode into small pieces, scatttering everywhere. After she was done, she once again folded her arms and looked onto Sarutobi's battle. Kakashi slammed his hand onto the neck of one ninja before flicking his wrist, snapping the man's neck with such force that he span around fourteen times, before finally hitting the ground. Behind an enemy pounced on him, thinking that he had the advantage, however, Kakashi didn't even move. Instead he smiled under his mask as Gai jump kicked the man from the building across from them, sending him flying across the roofs as a rock skipping across a pond.
Kakashi: You too your sweet time Gai.
Gai: Well remember our bet, whoever can take out the most enemy ninja wins.
Kakashi: Oh, were we doing that? I completely forgot.
Gai: Yes, we are and you're totally losing right now.
He said with a smile.
Kakashi: Am I now?
He asked not really paying attention to his rival. Gai sighed and then smiled as more ninja fell after them.
Kakashi: What do you say I handle this?
Gai: Oh no you don't, I'll take care of this Kakashi!
He said jumping into battle.
Kakashi: If you say so.
He said with a smile, Gai was so easy to trick. Kakashi turned back and pulled out a single kunai as the ninja began to attack.
Kakashi: I think I might just take you up on that bet though Gai, I'll be more than happy to remember how many of this scum I manage to take out.
He said as he dropped into stance. Not far from where they were Hiashi was fighting off the many ninja coming down on him. A single thrust of arm sent the ninja flying regardless of the distance between them. Hiashi seldom even needed to move, he just stood in one spot launching away after his enemies. One of the ninja however managed to gain a slight distance from the others, no difference, he could eliminate him as well, however before he could the man was engulfed in flames. When he hit the ground the flames died down, leaving the man breathing, but completely unable to continue the fight. The flames then spread out through the entire feild of ninja, taking out all of the ninja without killing them.
Hiashi: Ishi-hime, mercy is not something that should be shown in a battle like this.
He said as the girl stepped forward, finally showing herself.
shi: Sorry Hiashi-sama, but I don't kill. I can't.
She said with a smile.
Hiashi: Where is Neji?
He asked placing his back to the girl's, both blasting away at their enemies as they drew closer.
Ishi: He's not here, I told him that we should split up and help whoever we can find.
She said as she and Hiashi switched sides.
Hiashi: And he agreed to that?
He asked knowing full well of how protective Neji could be when it came to Ishi. Neji tried to act cool, but in some ways he was just Naruto when it came to his princess. Because of that Hiashi also wound up creating a bond with the girl, she didn't have many people in the village that disliked her, if any.
Ishi: I guess he trusts me.
She replied with a smile. A hissing sound reached their ears from behind and both slowly turned to the giant snake gazing down at them. Hiashi stepped in front of the girl, his fatherly nature, as rare as it was, was starting to kick, however the girl stepped back in front. With a stern gaze she looked at the snake and gave a sinister smile.
Ishi: You don't really wanna do that, do you?
She spoke as her darker personality began to show, one that had grown after so much training and bonding with Anko. he snake stopped, the girl's glare was more frightening than anything it had seen before, as if she could stare into it's soul.
Ishi: Come to me!
She shouted, gaining immediate obediacne from the massive beast. The snake flew down to her and surrounded her before submitting to her completely. With a smile she pulled a scroll and sealed the snake into it before saying.
Ishi: Looks like I got a new pet.
A smile wide on her face. Hiashi slowly backed away from the girl. Underneath that bubbly exterior lies a force to be reckoned with. Orochimaru smiled as Sarutobi pushed him back, never once taking the time to catch his breath. Orochimaru was about to release a seal before a voice called out inside him.
[????: Save that for later, right now we have someone who's dying to meet me, what do you say we give her a show?]
Orochimaru: Heh, it seems that it's time.
He said as he pulled back his sword, much to his former master's confusion. Orochimaru opened his mouth and eight snake crawled from his mouth, falling to the ground with a wet flop. After a few second the snakes began to take form. All stood in the guise of humans, smiling together. Yubiki's eyes snapped open and shouted as she made a mad dash for where Orochimaru was. Sarutobi became cautious, but he didn't panic at the moment he realized he was outnumbered, but his cool head let him know that they weren't interested in him, but what was coming for them at full speed.
Yura: Drop the jutsu or the shock will kill you.
Sakon: We know brat!
Tayuya: Move out of the way!
As the sound four dispeled their jutsu, Yubiki passed them in a giant blur, but not before Yura could cancel her chakra. As immense as it was Yura couldn't neutrelize it all and the effects were temporary at best, but it was enough for what they were planning. Once Yubiki realized what had happened a seal was placed on the ground under her, quickly draining her strength and sealing her in place, that however didn't stop her from thrashing around in rage.
Insuru: Activate the sonic projection jutsu, I want everyone to hear me. I know it'll drop the morale of their troops.
As his sibling started through a round of seals the sound on the roof became louder and more vivid. With a smile Insuru spoke to the bound woman.
Insuru: It's been a while Yubiki.
The voice seemed to draw the attention of the entire village, not only the villagers, but the opposing ninja as well.
Yubiki: This trick won't hold me forever!
Insuru: I know, and unfortunately since I too am a demon I'll be caught in it if I get to close, so you're in no danger.
Yubiki: I thought you were dead.
Insuru: I was.
He said with a plain face as he scratched the back of his neck.
Insuru: Oh I forgot to introduce you to my family. This is my brother Aristam.
Aristam: Charmed.
Insuru: My sister Kamina.
Kamina: Sup'.
Insuru: My sister Sinna.
Sinna: Nice to meet you.
Insuru: My brother Venice.
Venice: Whatever.
Insuru: My brother Kensou.
Kensou: Yo'.
Insuru: And the youngest two; my sister Aneha and my brother Karou.
Karou: Nice to meet you Nee-chan.
Aneha: I've already seen you so I don't see why I need to introduce myself.
Insuru: From oldest to youngest, we make the Orochi.
He said with a smile. Many of the people below recognized that name, a fearsome monster of legend.
Yubiki: What makes you think I give a shit about who they are?
Insuru jumped back and gave a feigned look of shock before replying.
Insuru: Well because I never got to introduce them to you before. And it is costumary for a man to introduce his family to his wife.
A wave of shock rode through their audience, none could understand what was going on.
Insuru: Then again, if I died then does that mean that till death do you part kicks in and I'd have to call you my ex-wife? But since I'm alive then that should mean that death didn't do us part. Oh so confusing.
Yubiki: Shut up!
Once again Insuru jumped back and feigned shock as his siblings laughed at him.
Kensou: Ha, you got yelled at.
Sinna: Trouble in paradise huh, bro?
Insuru: Oh, why are you all so mean to your Nii-chan?
He said falling to the side slowly in a dramatic fashion.
Yubiki: Tell me, Insuru.
She said gaining his attention once again as she cast her eyes to the ground.
Yubiki: Was it you who led Orochimaru to kill Neko?
Insuru blinked for a second before saying while rubbing his head.
Insuru: Well I may have suggested the idea, but it's vague on whether I did or not, I can't remember. Do I do that you guys?
Kensou: Yep.
Aristam: It was your idea.
Aneha: So your idea.
Karou: Try to remeber these things nii-chan.
Insuru: Oh, why are you all so mean to your niichan?
He asked slowly falling to the side in a dramatic fashion.
Yubiki: Why?
Once again Insuru stopped his play and looked back at the woman.
Yubiki: Why would you do that?
Insuru looked down with a displeased frown.
Yubiki: He was your son!!!!!!!!!
She shouted out at him, once again causing a wave of shock to fly through their audience. Sarutobi gripped tighter onto his staff as he moved closer to Yubiki. Insuru cast his eyes down and sighed before chuckling. Then slowly his chuckle became a full out laugh as his siblings joined in. Insuru replied with a smile.
Insuru: You say that like I care.
He said mockingly laughing at the woman. Finally everyone understood the type of demon they were dealing with. Insuru didn't stop, he and his siblings continued their mocking laughter.
Insuru: And she was so dramatic with it too.
Aristam: He was your son!!!
He said mimicking Yubiki's voice.
Insuru: Oooooh, do it again, it gives me goosebumps on my scales.
Kamina: He was your son!!!!!!!
He said mimicking her voice while making a silly face.
Insuru: Hahahahaha.
Sarutobi couldn't explain in words how enraged he felt at the moment, even more at the fact that when he looked down he saw something he couldn't even picture before then. Yubiki, was crying.
Yubiki: Why?
Her voice noticably cracking. The sound was something only Naruto had heard before, and at the moment his hands were bleeding under the pressure of his tightly clentched fist. JJ's chivalris nature began to go full blast.
JJ: Naruto.
Naruto: Could you please.
He said fully understanding what JJ was about to say. He was going back to the village. Mika stepped back stood with Naruto as JJ walked at a slow pace. For the moment the battle had stopped, there was no need to rush. Insuru was projecting their voices because he wanted them to hear something, and JJ wanted to hear it. He wanted the bastard to give him more reasons to kill him. Iruka cursed and slammed his hand into a wall, surprisingly shattering the cement as if it were nothing, at the moment however he didn't even notice.
Insuru: Why? Where do I begin? Maybe I shoud start from the beginning. Tell me Yubiki, will you listen to my woes?
He asked with a sickeningly sweet smile.
Insuru: We were once like you, fools who trusted and protected the humans. Even though they feared us. Then like all of the other demons, we forged a bond with Jinzuki Uzumaki. On the day when the humans turned on Jinzuki, we had a front row seat, trying or best to stop the execution. Before he died, Jinzuki smiled at all of the demons who had come to defend him. The human's killed Jinzuki because he loved demons as much as he did the gods. However there was a large gap in the real story.
He said with a smile.
Insuru: Jinzuki was killed because his wife was indeed a demon.
Yubiki's eyes went wide. She had never heard of that, Naruto looked down at his hands and frowned.
Insuru: His family would have been killed as well had we not stepped in and slaughtered that village. That boy you call son, has had demon blood flowng through his veins long before you came into the picture. Which is probably why he's been able to suck your fox demon powers into himself. Once we began, it was like a rush, all of the hostility we demons had felt for humans was unleashed in the most vicious of ways. We of the Orochi found, like many other demons, that we loved the feeling of putting the humans in their place. Then the kings of our worlds stepped in and called that stupid truce. And of the Orochi returned, dejectedly they sat on their throne, longing for the days of old when the humans were nothing more than their playthings. They were the first to exploit the many holes in the treaty, as long as humans sacrificed their own, demons were free to kill whoever they placed in front of them. It all fell down to human will. With a smile the Orochi returned to the human world and searched for a village that seemed peaceful enough, and they attacked, with their mighty visage, they needed nothing more than their words and growled to intimidate the humans. With a mighty booming voice the stated.
(Flashback)
Orochi: At the beginning of each month, an arrow will fall upon the house of a young virgin maiden. By the end of the week you will bring that woman to us, and she will be sacrifced for another month of safety for your village. Refuse us and we will kill everyone here. Do not even dream of defying us.
All heads spoke in unison, before with a mighty roar they destroyed the remaining houses in the village.
Orochi: We trust that you will make a wise decision.
The frightening beast said before leaving the villagers in utter shock. It was the most horrifying thing they had ever seen.
(Insuru: However, as foolish as humans are, they decided that it would be easier to simply send warriors after our head, that two was a simple enough task, all we had to do was wait for the human to cast the first blow, and then strike them down. After that, we mounted the human's head in front of the village as a show of how futile resisting could be. Soon they realized the foley of their actions and then, it was easy street. Watching them gravel was truly a sight to behold. However, within a year the virgins had run out. Pathetic really, is it too much to ask that a woman be able to keep her chastity over the age of seven?)
(Sinna: Bro even I found that one offensive.)
(Insuru: I meant humans, things like that don't matter to demons, just like any other thing we have the hymen can heal. But I mean seriously, how long do you think it'll be before those girls we saw in the exams are all bloated and full of baby? I'll give it a year, hahahahahahaha!!!!!)
As much as hs words offended people, the fear of the demon was overpowering, his influence seemed to be doing just as he planned. He was lowering the morale of the village, a pyhcological assualt.
(Karou: You mean if they live past today?)
(Insuru: Oh I don't plan on killing them, some of them will be useful later. However, I seem to have gotten off track. Where was I again?)
(Arista: At the part where the humans started running out.)
(Aneha: Try to remember these things Onii-chan.)
(Orochimaru: Yes and please stop getting distracted before the best parts.)
(Insuru: Not you too! Why are you all so mean to me?)
(He said falling back in a dramatic fashion once again before quickly regaining himself and folding his arms.)
(Insuru: The Orochi, bewildered at the humans started to demanded anything that the human had, even their children, and the humans complied. So afraid to die that they no longer cared about anyone else. Their fear was so beautiful. However we made a mistake, a drifting who swordsman found himself bound to the village challenged us to a fight, however, he never threw the first blow. Instead he stared at us and waited with a smile. The human had known of the treaty between the gods, he called our bluff and then exposed us to the village who soon dismissed us as a threat. Enraged, we ignored the treaty completely an slayed the swordsman, shutting his arrogant mouth for good. The rage of the gods, would be worth the exchange for shutting him up. So the Orochi waited, looking to the sky for the gods to descend, but nothing came. Amused the Orochimaru returned it's gaze to the village and slaughtered as many of them as they could before dropping an arrow on one last house.)
Orochi: If you value your lives, then the woman that lives in this house will be brought to us by the weeks end.
(Insuru: With a renewed fear, the humans agreed to the terms, except for one man with a double hilted sword. The woman to be sacrificed was his fiancee. Instead of heeding our words, the warrior set off the to fight against us, with a pure white wolf by his side. Nothing seemed odd to us at the time, but once we fought the warrior we realized, he was able to damage us, his attacks hurt. We lost, somehow he managed to defeat us, but before died we noticed something. The wolf was glowing red, it's power was what made the human strong.)
Orochi: Damned beast, what are you? Speak your name!!!!!!!!
The wolf smiled and then stood to it's hind legs, slowly changing into the form of a beautiful white haired woman. Before the Orochi could pass on the woman spoke.
????: I am the goddess of the sun, Amateuresu! Remember that name on your way to hell foul demon.
Cursing that name and the foolish decision they had made, the Orochi's life slipped away from them.
(Insuru: They died, but their essence spread through the land and infected eight powerful beasts, driving them mad. Soon after the beasts began to destroy anything in their path one of those beasts being the great dragon king Omaki. As they ravaged the land, Amatueresu realized her mistake and traveled the lands, defeating them all, except one. Omaki was somehow exorcised by the head of the Nores clan, before he died he enlisted him to serve under the Nores clan's head for the reminder of their clan's existance. After all of the beasts lost the essence inside of them, the darkness gathered together and revived us using the strength of the beasts we possessed. And once again Amateuresu stood before us and fought against us, however, even with our new found strength, we lost. This time, she didn't kill us. She dispeled our union and sealed away my siblings then she sealed my power, binding me into human form, as well as banishing my demon powers. I was sentenced to be nothing more than a strong human.)
Insuru: Damn you! You sick bitch, change me back!
Ammy: Or what? You'll nibble me? Be glad that you are allowed to live. As bothersome as you may be, you are no longer a threat, in that state even a human could kill you.
She said walking away with a mocking laugh at the man who once stood strong.
(Insuru: She left me in that pathetic state. I had nothing left, broken and beaten, I returned to the void, lost in the world of darkness. As the cold rain poured over me, an angel appeared over me with a sweet voice and asked.)
????: Are you okay?
The young woman called out to him in the rain, holding out her slender hand to the down fallen man.
(Insuru: Her beautiful voice lured me in and clear naivety in her eyes. That angel was you Yubiki. Inwardly I smiled, I knew what I could do to regain my strength, or more accurately, a new strength. I calcaulated every last step. Each part of the puzzle fell right back into place. You see, you were a pawn from the very beginning. If I could play my part, if I could act well enough, I could gain the powers of a fox demon. And all I had to do was make you fall in love with me, then fool myself into loving you. After ten long years, you finally opened your heart to me, and then you gave me the mark. However do you remember what happened after that?
(Yubiki: I marked you, but the second effect never took place.)
(Insuru: Right, now I was bonded to you, hopelessly in love and unable to betray you, but being the thorough bitch that she was, Amateuresu also sealed my ability to gain new demonic powers. My plan had failed miserably. Then a new piece into place soon after that.)
(Yubiki: ......Neko.....)
(Insuru: Correct, if I could eat him after his powers matured, I'd be able to gain the powers of a Kitsune-oni and regain my Hebi-oni powers at the same time. He too was a pawn from the very beginning.)
(His words that tme made Yubiki wince and bite her lip. Her anger was slowly rising to the boiling point.)
(Insuru: However, when he was born, being the thorough bitch that she is, Neko was born without my powers. Amateuresu had also sealed my ability to reproduce my powers. Once again, my plan had failed entirely, and even worse, there was nothing I could do about it. I was forced to carry out a normal life, as nothing more than a face at your side. Never to hold any true power, then sixty-seven years later. My siblings managed t break free from Amatueresu's seal, and they returned to the void looking for me, beginning a large-scale war. Amatueresu entered the void as well, remember?)
(Yubiki:.....Because the void drained her powers she sought me out to assist her.)
(Insuru: That's right, she is your sister after all isn't she? I paniced, if she had seen me, then she would have been able to identify me, my cover wouldn't be blown, so I flew, and because of my weakened state, I was killed on the battlefeild, and doing so drastically decreased the fighting strength of my siblings. Allowing you to defeat them.)
(Yubiki: That's when we sealed them away. That war went on two years after you died.)
(Insuru: Yeah, and after you sealed away siblings you fled for the human world. We had never been killed at seperate times before, always at once, I truly thought that I would stay dead. But as a year passed, I was revived along with my siblings.)
(Flashforward)
Yubiki's eyes flew wide.
Insuru: Do you undersand what that means. If we are killed all together, our essence will spread throughout the land until it infects a powerful beast, once it does, those beast will ravage the land until they die. Once they die, our essence will reunite and we will be reborn. However, if we die seperately our power will decrease, but withing the span of three years, the one of us who died will be revived through his siblings.
Insuru stood over Yubiki and smiled as his siblings and Orochimaru did the same. All completely engulfed in darkness, covering everything but their eyes.
Insuru: We are immortal!!!!!!
He shouted down to her. Those words struck a cord with everyone listening, once again crushing the morale of the konoha shinobi, how do you fight an enemy you can't kill? All shook under those words, except for one person wo continued to walk forward with a blank expression.
Insuru: I also found that when I was reborn, I no longer held your mark, however, my natural powers had returned to me. The only down side was that now I was sealed inside with them, cursed to live the rest of my days in confinement, then something unexpected happened. A man broke through to the void and full before our cage. After granting him our power, I had a loose end to tie up. I had grown fond of the feeling of weilding the Kitsune-oni's power.
Orochimaru: And what a wonderful power that is.
He said with the fox cloak suddenly draping his body.
Insuru: Then we waited, your storm to the village here, riled up the humans, and when they struck you, your rampae began, just like I had planned from the beginning, however, Minato knew. He saved you and the village at the same time, maybe it was the powers of the gods flowing in his veins.
Yubiki's eyes snapped up at those words and Sarutobi fought back the urge to draw on the subject.
Yubiki: What?
Insuru: You understand now? Why that boy is so popular? It's because, as weak as it may have been, Minato's bloodline held the gene of the god of wind. And because the Uzumaki clan had demon blood in their veins, the forbidden had happened, a god and a demon had merged blood. Because the demon blood tends to die down through generations, normally that wouldn't be a problem because the demon gene in that boy was recessive, but there was something that caused that gene to germinate.
He said with a smile. Yubiki cast her eyes down.
Yubiki: Me?
Insuru: That's right. Because of you Naruto is becoming something that has never existed before. When he gains his ninth tail, who knows what will happen. However, I'd rather not wait that long.
Yubiki snapped back up at Insuru and growled.
Yubiki: What are you planning!!??
Insuru: Oh, that's easy. I intend to eat your other son as well.
His smile suddenly grew darker. Those words sent a chill throughout the village and invoked the wrath of a few certain, however Naruto seemed to grew calm after hearing that, he was actually rather relieved to hear it. He would have to do it first, and he wasn't going to make that easy for him. Naruto smiled, Insuru had suddenly grown silent, meaning something new was happening, something he didn't plan on. JJ walked past Ino holding two of the sound ninja in each hand.
Ino: JJ-kun?
JJ's eye were slit and golden, his face looked somewhat jagged and his arms were wlarged than before. It was a mid-transformed. He was as close to changing as he could go without doing it.
JJ: Look after that jacket for me.
He said with his voice as more of a growl than normal.
Claire: So he decided to show his true hand.
(Music que: Karma [by-bump of chicken; Tales of the abyss OST)
Insuru turned to JJ with a wide and disturbing smile as the boy slowly walked forward, discarding the two bodies in his hands. After a started walk forward the boy burst into a sprint and flipped onto the roof of a house and then continually flipped higher onto other buildings.
Insuru: Kill Fou-lu!
He ordered out to all who followed him. The order confused many of the onlookers, yet the ninja assumed he meant the one boy charging forward to their position, with that understanding they all moved out. Three snakes closed in on JJ as he leapt high into the air.
Kakashi: JJ fall back!!!!
He shouted to the boy, but he gained no response. With a roar of determination he ripped his sword from his back and shouted.
JJ: Get the fuck out of my way!!!!!
The snake made move on him, but as massive as it was, he manage to take off it's head with one smooth slash before snapping his sword back, decapitating the second. With a skillful spin of his sword JJ lifted his sword above his head before slicing straiight down the middle of the final serpent. Once he landed on the ground he began to run forward once again, but dozens of sound ninja pounced at him.
JJ: Shadow fist eruption!
He shouted as he pumped his right fist into the air and sent a pillar of black light flying into all of the ninja, rendering them unconcious in a single blow in mid air. Before the ninja could fall back to the ground JJ used them as stepping stones to send himself back into the air. On the last one the boy did a backwards flip, leaving himself upside down in the air. He closed his eyes as another snake snapped at him and dodged at the last second. Quickly rounding back the snake made another snap at JJ which he once again dodged with a blank face. A sudden stop by the serpent and it snapped once again for JJ, who this time simply let it eat him. Not even half a second later he came bursting from the back of the snake as he once again jumped for the roof of the stadium.
JJ: Insuru!!!!
At his shout the man turned with a smile as Karou, Sinna, and Venice all smiled and jumped from the roof in a blur. JJ lifted his right hand, narrowly managing to block Karou's fist crashing down for him, the force of which pushed him down to the nearest roof, where Ishi and Hiashi waited. The landing caused a shockwave to shake the ground and the roof they stood on. Venice ran behind him forcing the boy to let go of Karou's fist and roll under the attack. Smoothly, JJ dodged and blocked the attacks coming after him, obviously they were holding back. Ishi and Haishi moved forward as if they were going to enter the fray, but something clear blasted them both away, they couldn't tell what it was, but they knew JJ was the one who used it. Sinna dropped down on the boy with her fist drawn back, fiercely dropping it into JJ's face knocking him slightly off balance, seeing the new opprotunity, the other two closed in a unleashed a flurry of attacks on the boy, knocking him slightly from the ground.
Sinna: You're mine Fou-lu!!
She shouted as she kicked upward making her leg turn into a snake's tail which extended and wrapped tightly around JJ's throat. With a loud laugh and a quick spin, she dragged the boy through numerous buildings before letting go, throwing him through three whole buildings before he came to a stop. JJ laid still for a second then jumped into the sky with a mighty roar, completely covered in blood. On his descent he balled his fist and dropped it furiously down into Sinna's face, causing her to spin sideways sixteen times before falling flat to the ground. JJ pulled his fist back and crashed it into Karou's face before turning with a spin kick, coated in black chakra the flared up on impact. Venice closed in on the boy, but soon caught a lightning fast three hit to his chest before JJ grabbed his head and his shoulder, clamping his fangs tightly onto the man's neck and decapitating him. JJ grabbed tighter onto the man's shoulder and flipped his body down to the ground before lifting his head and kcking it into Karou's face. As Karou stumbled from the blow JJ closed the distance between them with a short uppercut into his stomach, then another with his fist burning black.
JJ: Shouryuken!!!!
He said as he went soaring into the air with a trail of black chakra flowing behind him. JJ smiled as all of the Orochi began to recover, even Venice's head simply grew back onto his body. JJ flipped back from Karou's chest and shouted back toward the roof.
JJ: Sarutobi!!!!!
The old man heard the boy's call and looked down into his hand. With clear understanding he lifted Enma and launched him to JJ while still in mid air. Enma changed from the form of a staff and grabbed onto JJ's hand.
Enma: It's been a long time Fou-lu.
JJ: Too long my friend.
Enma turned back into a staff and JJ held both hands up as his enemies closed, not to mention the other two that had followed Enma up to the boy.
JJ: Extend Enma!!!
He shouted, making the staff grew to the length of ten city blocks. JJ slapped his hand on the other side of the staff and made it spin in his hand, crushing the faces of all enemies pursuing him. With a smile he turned the staff down and spun it into Venice and Kamina, dragging them through two buildings before sending them flying back into the air, then JJ switched sides and did the same to Karou and Sinna. With his last spin he pulled the staff under his arm and slammed it down using the force of his shoulder, slamming it into Kensou, crushing the ground as he did so. The staff retracted and JJ pulled his sword from his back, tossing it slightly into the air above him. Enma's head extended from the end of the staff and bit into the hilt of the sword, dragging back down and merging it into the staff, making it a spear. Dragon's wings grew from the staff below the blade and JJ threw it under himself.
JJ: Don't underestimate me!
He shouted as he rode the staff like a surf board. Aneha smiled and launched herself from the roof after the boy, but before she could reach him he dropped to the side of the spear and grabbed onto it tightly before he spun around and slashed through the girl.
JJ: Freeze Saru-ryu!!!!
He shouted as ice covered the tip of the spear and then he rounded and stabbed it intoAnhea's chest, dragging her to the ground and shattering the ice while still insde her. With a sharp turn JJ hit th back of the staff into Venice's chest and then pushed down the front, slamming the back otf the spear into his chin. Then like a breeze he turned in a blur and slashed upward through the demon. In the same motion he dragged the spear back down into Karou's head and the force knock JJ into the air where he flipped back from a roof and extended the spear again, viciously slashing it across Insuru's face from that great distance. Insuru's face was ripped off, but it quickly restored and he smiled at the boy. JJ smiled back as he slammed the bottom of his spear down into Sinna's chest and extended it down to the ground, impaling both the woman and the cement. JJ stood at the top of the spear and readied himself as the six Orochi head turned into snakes and slithered up the staff. JJ called out is sword and grabbed it with the shout.
JJ: Burn ryu-o-jinn!
At his words the sword began to emit flames and he spiraled down the staff, leaving a trail of fire behind him, forcing the Orochi heads to fall from the heat. JJ landed on the ground and breathed in the flame, grabbing tightly onto Enma, he launched the staff into the air and spit the fire from his mouth, launching himself up like a rocket before landing on the speeding weapon. Aristam, the second eldest, grew tired of watching his siblings play and jumped from the roof onto the staff with JJ. He watsed no time going on the assualt, however, JJ managed to dodge every attack and send back few of his own. Aristam smiled, impressed by the boy's balance and ability fight and avoid his attacks, however, he grew tired of toying around and then he slammed his fist roughly into the boy's chest, forcing him to vomit torrents of blood and sending him flying from the staff. Enma returned to Sarutobi alone with his gaze drawn back to the falling from the sky as the seven Orochi heads moved in, crushing him with multiple attacks at once. Aneha flew over him and slammed her leg into him like a whip knocking hm faster from the sky. Kamina and Aristam closed in with their fist drawn back, ready to crush the boy. JJ recovered in mid air nd held out both his hands to catch the fists of his approaching enemies, but his hands didn't catch them, something else did. Both of them dark demons looked up at a massive green aura shaped like a horned demon hanging behind JJ.
JJ: Green aura: Aura expansion jutsu!!!!!
JJ's aura following the movements of his hands as he dragged back both demons and slammed them into each other before slamming both fist into their backs and tossing them to the side like garbage as he continued to fall JJ whispered the words.
JJ: Fourth form: Warrior.
As he descended his body began to change and he dropped into his aura. JJ turned into a small human sized dragon and shot an arrogant small as an image of himself appeared behind him, standing fifty feet tall. JJ held tightly onto his sword in his right hand, then he motioned as if throwing the sword to his left, then it split in two and he held both swords in front of himself, ready for a fight. Unfazed by the boy's transformation the rochi heads started to move for him, but with a swift motion JJ slasshed through all of them as his aura punched down into them crushing them into the ground below. JJ flew forward, cutting through the enemies in front of him while making his way to the chunin exams stadium where Insuru, Orochimaru, Yubiki, and Sarutobi waited. Once again as if he never attacked them in the first place all seven of the Orochi returned after him, however he never moved, his aura just slammed it's fist into them whenever they got close, sometimes punching them into mountains buildings, anything that the body could fly into, they hit it. JJ flew into the air and dodged the attack flying for him, then Aristam slammed his fangs on the boy's neck, slowing him down, soon the other joined in. JJ smiled as they all closed in on his aura waiting in the ring of the chnin exams arena. The aura reared back and punched into JJ leaving him unfazed, but blasting back everyone taking him for a ride. JJ flew over Insuru and changed back before slamming his ryu-o-jinn back into it's sheath. He landed croutching down, and slowly stood to his feet in front of Insuru. A gust of wind that JJ had dragged with him flew over the roof and blew through his clothes. Insruru stared at JJ's frown with a smiled as they walked closer to each other, both meeting each other's eyes. Seconds later Insuru's siblings joined him, all smiling down on him too. Insuru moved back and chuckled.
Hiashi: He broke through their line by himself?
Choji: JJ, amazing.
Insuru stepped back and started clapping.
Insuru: Amazing Fou-lu. I didn't think you'd make it here. It's been a while.
Ino: He called him Fou-lu again.
Shikamaru: Why does he call him that?
JJ scoffed at Insuru and turned away.
JJ: I can't honestly say that I missed you all that time. Especially not you Orochimaru.
Orochimaru: That saddens me, I missed you alot Norugi.
Insuru: It truly has been too long, brother.
Those words sent a chill down the spine of the villagers. Was JJ an agent of Orochimaru, their suspicision were put to rest when JJ replied.
JJ: You slimy bastard, I don't remeber giving you the right to call me that!
Insuru: But it's true. The dragon clan descended from the snake clan. Brother.
JJ: But, that does not makes us equal, we evolved from your clan. That does not make us related.
Aristam: Young Norugi, may we speak to Fou-lu? I have no interest in talking to a ghost.
He said making JJ growl, those words hit home and confused many of their listeners. Insuru smacked Aristam's arm and turned back to JJ.
Insuru: Please excuse him, he doesn't have subtle bone in his body. Can you please speak to us yourself Fou-lu?
JJ closed his eyes and frowned before opening them again.
Fou-lu: I have no interest in speaking with thee.
Insuru: It's been a while, brother.
Fou-lu: Bite thine tongue, I have but one brother and you are not of my blood.
He spit back to the man.
Aneha: Well, aren't we hostile?
She said with sarcasm.
Fou-lu: Mine heart holds no love for your kind wench. Why should I use kind words for such trash?
He replied with a smile. Aneha frowned and dropped a large amount of chakra from her body. Insuru cut her off and asked.
Insuru: Would you not join our side Fou-lu?
Fou-lu: Thou asks an obvious question. However, this is not mine own vessel, if that is what Norugi desires, I will not disagree with his wishes.
He said as he dropped his persona and allowed JJ control of his body once again.
Kensou: Then I guess that means the decision is yours kid.
Sinna: I'm quite impressed with how you fight. Why don't you fight with us?
JJ: Why should I?
He asked with vemon.
Insuru: The real question is, why do you fight for the humans? You hate them don't you?
JJ: Huh?
Insuru: You hate them right?
JJ puased, that caused unrest in those he fought alongside him. With a smile JJ replied.
JJ: Yeah, I hate them.
Kamina: Right, and you have no real ties to ths village, why don't you join us at the top of the world. Humans don't deserve this world, and thanks to Orochimaru we don't have limits on how many we kill. Join us Norugi.
JJ smiled and said.
JJ: You're right, I'm not even from this place. I can't stand humanity. They're so weak yet, they think everything is their's. They have great knowledge, yet they use it to kill each. One of the very first human inventions was a weapon, something they could use against one another, and even today they would create a new weapon sooner than they would find a cure for a disease and even when they do, they'd keep to themselves so that they could make profit. All that humans care about is money, power, and respect. There is no honor, no love, no chivalry, nothing. All they know how to do is hate and destroy. If there is one thing I respect about their species, it's that I believe that one day they will stand above the clouds and touch the sky. That's also what I hate about them, on the day when humanity stands above the clouds, it will be because he stands on the corpses of his brothren.
He said with a digusted smile. JJ looked at his hands and then up to Insuru.
JJ: I like the idea of wiping them out.
He said with a chuckle that scared everyone listening, even Claire, she never heard him sound like that before.
JJ: So I'll give you an answer.
JJ looked up to them with a smile before he said.
JJ: Why don't you go fuck yourself?
He said turning his head and smiling in their face with a chuckle. JJ stuffed his hands in his pockets and laughed at them.
Aristam: What was that?
JJ: You heard me, you, the MJ rip-off, N-Snyc, and the spice girls over there can all go fuck yourselves. You must be sniffing laundry detergient if you actually expected me to agree to that.
Sarutobi chuckled at the boy's words and smiled at him.
JJ: What kind of dumbass would here someone say "I ate my own son." and say "Wow, he sounds like an appealing guy, I wanna go grab a brew with that guy."
Once again the boy invoked the laughter of those who listened.
JJ: I may hate humans dude, but I don't think there's any way that I could hate them more than you.
Aristam: So you intend to fight us?
JJ: I guess.
He said scratching the back of his neck as Insuru chuckled at him.
Insuru: Boy you are hopelessly outmatched and outnumbered up here. What do you think you can do to us?
JJ: That's just it, I don't have to fight you by myself. Seeing the look on Yubiki's face right now, I can see that all I really have to do is break that seal that's holding her and she'll rip you to shreds herself. Which I can do seeing as I'm not a demon. Or I could always just let you kill me.
He said with a smile.
JJ: But when you do that the dragon gene will be released from my body, which will release Fou-lu. Do you really want to face him alongside Yubiki?
Insuru winced, this boy's words were pushing at him.
JJ: Then there's me, who gives you a flatout promise that even if you do kill me, I will make sure that one of you go with me. And according to your story, that will make you weaker, will it not?
Insuru smiled.
Insuru: That makes no difference.
JJ: No, I was just wondering if you could take Yubiki with only seven of you. I mean, you couldn't handle her sister with all eight and from the stories I heard from Amatueresu herself, she and her sister were never able to beat one another. Which means if you couldn't beat her, you definitely can't beat Yubiki. Even which her own fox powers, because since she rules them, she holds dominion over them to a certain degree. You were probably using tricks so that she couldn't figure that out. While Orochimaru can use it probably, you guys can't so long as she's near you.
Insuru scowled, who was this boy, why was he so sharp.
JJ: You never know what people can do when they pay close attention. And I was listening really hard, and don't think for a second, that I plan on dying here either. I still have something I need to do, and I have people that I want to do that with, so I'm going to fight.
Insuru: I don't understand. Why fight for these people, why do you risk your life for a species you hate? People that kill each other for sport. At least I did for power. I had a gain, these people will do it for nothing. What makes you fight for them!?
JJ stood tall and chuckled as his scratched his cheek.
JJ: Truthfully, no matter how corny this may sound, it was because you made Yubiki cry.
(Music que: I dare you to move! [by Switchfoot)
Yubiki's face shot up with slight blush, she didn't mean to cry, it just kind of happened.
JJ: I don't know where I developed it, but when women cry, I hate it. It just makes me want to protect them. The second I noticed, I was already on my way here. Besides, I fight this place because of the people here. I want to help them, I thought when I left my village that there would be no one here who would except me, I was going to stick out like a sore thumb and get nothing but cold stares. Yet, that never happened, instead I was welcomed with open arms.
Yura looked down at those words. Tayuya looked over to her and frowned, right now that boy had somehow reached her with his words. Yura walked through the village without hiding anything, she was comfortable there, more than she should have been.
JJ: So why do I fight? Because I saw Choji run almost as fast as Raizen to fight off your people. Because I saw Lee, with a broken arm and leg, fight with anything else he could use as a weapon. Because Tenten, fought with him, making sure that he never pushed himself too far. Because Sasuke chased after someone he knew he couldn't beat, just so that could protect his home. Because I saw Raizen break the sound barrier to go help him. Because even though Sakura lacks physical strength, she still stood before Gaara ready to fight. Because I saw the lazy Shikamaru show some enthusiam. Because Ino-chan fought on dispite losing something precious to her. Because this is Ishi's first real fight, yet she stands unafraid of anything coming at her. Because Neji fights elsewhere, yet he still keeps a sharp eye on her. Because Shino was able to take down Kankuro without even tryiing. Because Kiba's heartbroken, yet he's managed to take down almost fourty of your guys. Because I got to see this old man fight for the first time.
He said smiling back at Sarutobi, who quickly returned the geisture.
JJ: Because, right now, Claire-sensei, is protecting everyone, because Kakashi-sensei called out to me with worry when I started coming here, because Hiashi and Ishi tried to help on my way. Because I know when this is all done, Gai is gonna give me that goofy smile, and I'm gonna do it back. Because Kurenai-sensei has been protecting Hinata from the shadows every step of her way. Because Iruka finished what Naruto and I started. Because Naki would kill the very sun before he lefts anyone of you near his family. Because Asuma crushed everything Shikamaru's way, because Yukari fought until she fainted, because Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon fight as hard as they little bodies can. Because my little sisters are doing everything they can to look after the village's stragglers.
Hinata and Hanabi blushed as they turned back to where JJ's voice came from.
JJ: Because my little brother, is fighting someone who is a mirror image of what he could've become.
Naruto looked up and smiled at JJ's words.
JJ: Because even though she acts cold, my girlfriend's had a stone golem trailing since I left.
Mika blushed at him and looked away.
JJ: And because once this is all done, I want to eat with them all at Ichiraku's, and see Ichiraku-san and Ayame smile at us. That's why I fight. This may not be the village where I was raised, but I love this place, and everyone in it. I'm not afraid to die, those who are deny the most blatant fact of life. Fearing death will do nothing. That's why I will fight you even if I may die.
He said gaining a smile from every villager there, JJ dropped into stance and continued.
JJ: The immortal words of the Nores, I am a wall to never be crossed by those who breed death. I hold two things in both hands, a sheild, strong enough to protect anything behind me. In the other, a sword strong enough to cut through anything that stands in my way. I am a protecter! My life shall be the gate that bars you from those I love. If you plan to stand in my way, I will kill you!
Insuru growled as JJ smiled mockingly at him.
JJ: Konoha, did you hear me? How many of you will fight with me!?
There was no clear answer, only the battlecry of millions of people. From every corner, from every crack, from every tree, from the far off forest, and the distant feild, even right from behind him. The voices of the people shook the mountians. JJ turned to Insuru with a bright smile as he asked.
JJ: Which one of us was outnumbered and outmatched again?
Insuru's playful nature became a distant memory and the darker side of the monster showed itself, however this didn't shake the boy who stood in front of him.
Insuru: I don't fear Fou-lu. I'll prove that by killing you and eating your flesh.
JJ: Well then bring it bitch.
He said with a chuckle.
JJ: But you might want to move fast, your soldiers are losing.
Insuru gazed around in disbelief. Old, young, man, woman, shinobi, civilian, all had stopped trying to hide and rose up against the sound and sand shinobi. He realized his mistake, he wanted to break the spirit of the villagers, but the boy's words moved them to fight. Their fears washed away, the opposite had happened.
(Flash)
S. ninja: Stay down, or else!
Heni: Or what?
The woman said walking forward with a large broom in her hands, that wasn't why the ninja hesiatated, it was because there were fifty others behind her, all holding their owns weapons. Quickly the ninja was over taken, many more replaced him, and tried to quell the mob, but a large hand slammed down on them.
Choji: There's no way I'm gonna sit still after what I just heard. Everyone, follow me!!!!
He shouted as he led the charge. Kakashi stood on the roof smiling under his mask.
Kakashi: I don't know about you Gai, but I'm tired of being shown up by kids.
Gai: That just shows how brightly the next generation's youth burns.
He said standing behind the man.
Kakashi: I'm not ready to be obsolete just yet. What about you?
Gai: If today is the day I die, then that will be that. However, as that boy said, I don't plan on dying today.
He said looking up to the roof JJ now stood on.
Kakashi: What do you say we get moving?
Gai: Let's.
He said as they both began to move. Ino ran through the streets holding tightly onto JJ's jacket for dear life. She wanted to help him, she wouldn't back down no matter what. Mika smiled and looked over to Naruto.
Mika: Will you be okay?
Naruto: Yeah, go help out in the village. Besides, ever since that girl showed up over here Sasuke and Shino's been watching me. I know they'll watch my back.
Mika turned and readied herself to leave before turning back.
Mika: Don't kill him.
Naruto: I don't plan to.
He said to her as she ran off. Once she was gone he looked over to Gaara and smiled.
Naruto: Just you and me now.
Gaara turned back to Naruto and frowned. Naruto didn't attack on purpose, he was letting him heal. He'd make him regret that. JJ stood tall and balled his fist as the eight Orochi heads moved in on him. Sarutobi stepped to the boy's side and Orochimaru stepped in front of them. Yubiki slowly broke her binds and frowned, ready to join the fight. All stood ready, the village was rising, the decisive battle had battle.
Chapter fourteen end.

Naruto: It's just me and you Gaara!
Gaara: I'll rip you apart Uzumaki!
Konohamaru: They're all fighting, I'll fight too, no matter what happens.
JJ: Bring it, I'll take you down!
Yubiki: Stand back little one. He's mine.
Next time on Eyes piercing the darkness: Leaf destruction part 2: Konoha stands!
JJ: Divided we fall!
All: But united we kick your ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the fastest I finished a chapter in a long time. Being able to write at home rocks. Man, this one was kind of left on a cliffy, but not really, If I were to force everything into one chapter it'd be too long to read, seeing as I usually fit two chapters into one anyway. I know, not as bloody as I promised, but tat's all for the next chapter, after all, we can't have the main course for an appetizer. I had more stuff I wanted to say, but I can't remember right now so fuck it. Now for the Omake!
Omake theater, open!
Canon/Omake 1: Yukari's rage.
Konohamaru sat down at a bench during training. He held his hand to his chin and thought, gaining the attention of his followers.
Moegi: What's wrong?
Hanabi: You've been like that for a while, something must be big.
Konohamaru leaned up to them slightly and grimaced.
Konohamaru: It's because I want to do something, but I can't do it.
Yu: Why?
She asked as she walked over, wiping the sweat from her brow as her long black hair flow behind her. Konohamaru sighed and answered.
Konohamaru: Because I don't know what will happen if I do.
Udon: Is it bad? 'sniff'
Konohamaru: That depends.
He answered vaguely, trying to dodge the subject.
Hanabi: Well, maybe if it feels wrong you should'nt do it.
Konohamaru: That's what I thought too, but every time I think about my heart starts beating really fast.
Moegi: That bad huh?
Yukari smiled and stepped forward.
Yu: Then I think you should go for it. I don't know what it is, but you seem passionate about. Just give your best shot.
She said with a smile that brought another to Konohamaru's face. Konohamaru stood to his feet and held shut his fist before saying with determination.
Konohamaru: Yeah, I'm gonna go for it.
All behind him rooted for whatever he was going to do. Then he turned around Yukari and placed the palms of his hands together with the whisper.
Konohamaru: Sorry, please forgive me.
Yukari was going to ask him what he meant, but that soon became impossible as he grabbed her shoulders and slammed his lips on hers. Yukari's eyes shot wide as all of the other girls stared in shock and Udon blushed slightly. Yukari didn't fight back, she was too shocked to do anything. Konohamaru pulled and said to the stunned girl.
Konohamaru: That was every bit as sweet I thought it would be.
Yukari couldn't say anything, it wasn't that Konohamaru was a bad kisser, she had never been kissed before, so far be it from her to say what was good or bad, but at the moment every rational thought in her head was telling her to kill the boy still holding her shoulders. She wanted him to die. With her sharingan blazing she punched into the boy's face, accompanied by two other fists. Hanabi pulled Yukari back as she rubbed her lips and tears brimmed her eyes.
Moegi: BAKA!!!!!!
Konohamaru couldn't hear her over the ringing in his head. After a moment of boiling Yukari shouted with venom.
Yu: I'm telling my nii-chan.
With those words she stomped off. All others decided that they wanted to be as far away from Konohamaru as possible. One hour later Sasuke was burning the village looking for Konohamaru when he saw Naruto walking down the street.
Sasuke: Where is he!?
He shouted with rage in his eyes. Yukari stood next to him and Naruto stared for a second before saying.
Naruto: How the hell did she find you? I've been looking for you for weeks and haven't found where you went.
Yu: He told me.
Naruto looked up to Sasuke and lifted an eyebrow.
Naruto: So your little sister keeps you in check?
Sasuke: Shut up! Where is he?
Naruto: Who?
Sasuke: You know who I mean, I know he'd run to you first. Where is he?
Naruto: Look, I don't know where anyone- RUN KONOHAMARU!!!!!!
Konohamaru: AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
The boy shouted as he ran from the bushes with his arms flailing, making Sasuke and Yukari give chase. Naruto watched them leave and then turned to a box.
Naruto: You can come out now.
Konohamaru emerged from the box and looked down the road.
Konohamaru: That was close. How long do you think it'll take them to figure out that's a clone?
Naruto: A while, they seem pretty mad so they might be running on blind rage at the moment. What did you do?
Konohamaru: I kind of stole Yu's first kiss.
Naruto:.........Dude.
Konohamaru: Hey don't look at me like that, in all fairness, she told me to do it.
She said bringing up a solid point, even though she wasn't aware of what he meant.
Naruto: ......Cop a feel?
Konohamaru: Of course.
Naruto: That's my boy! Pound it.
He said as the two knocked their fists together.
Naruto: As soon as the six stars above your head disappear, we're going to Ichiraku's. Just be sure not to pull a stunt like this anymore okay?
Konohamaru: Of course.
He said as he followed Naruto down the dirt road before a loud shout of "Dammit!". Naruto smiled and left two more clones of himself and the boy behind to once again throw them off their path. Sasuke was going to have a long day.
Omake 2: Fou-lu's role.
Insuru: Give it up boy, there's no way you can defeat us.
He said to the yound boy croutched over in pain. JJ coughed up blood and frowned up to his enemy.
(JJ: He's right, I'll have to use "that".)
JJ smiled and stood to his feet, pulling out what appeared to be a silver weapon.
JJ: I'll just have to call him out.
JJ pointed the weapon at his own head and smiled at the Orochi.
JJ: I'll calling you Fou-lu.
JJ placed his index finger on what appeared to be a trigger and slowly squeezed it.
JJ: Persona!!
He shouted out as the weapon shot something through his head and a shattering sound rang through the village. A quake shook under the Orochi and suddenly a shadow appeared over the boy that soon took the form of a silver-haired man with dark skin. The man smiled before changing into a large dragon. Wind gathered under the dragon as he inhaled and with a powerful roar he shot out a burst of light that incinerated everything it touched. Once it was over JJ's persona vanished and he smiled.
JJ: Persona 3 pwns, bitch!
Omake 3: Shikamaru's dream.
Shikamaru laid on the stuff grass, gazing up at the sky as the colors slowly began to blur. Stars fell from the sky and landed next to him softly creating a rythm.
Shikamaru: 'Sigh'
He said shifting to the side.
Shikamaru: Day and nite,I toss and turn, I keep stressing my mind, mind.
Unable to find comfort, the young boy sat up and stared at the sky.
Shikamaru: I look for peace, but see I don't attain.
Shikamau extended his hand and reached for the sky, but suddenly his hand hit a wall and he found himself in a maze with small dots pepered everywhere.
Shikamaru: What I need for keeps, this silly game we play, we play.
Shikamaru looked back and saw a giant Choji head coming at him, gobbling up the small spheres as he came after him. Navigating through the maze Shikamaru found himself back in the village, surrounded by sound ninja and giant snakes.
Shikamaru: Now look at this.
Shikamaru dropped his shoulders and sighed as they pulled out a piece of metal that forcefully pulled him forward.
Shikamaru: Madness, the magnet keeps attractin' me, me.
Shikamaru turned around and started to sprint away from the force.
Shikamaru: I try to run, but see, I'm not that fast.
The enemies behind him quickly caught up to him and then passed him, all with numbers on their chests as the world around them became a race track.
Shikamaru: I think I'm first, but surely finish last, last.
Shikamaru dropped his arms and sighed. With a quick turn he found himself standing at the edge of a cliff, a long red scarf around his neck blowing smoothly in the wind.
Shikamaru: Cause day n nite-
He said pulling down his scarf before taking a puff of the cigarette, gazing up at the night sky.
Shikamaru: The lonely stoner, seems to free his mind tonight. He's all alone and through the day and night.
He turned his back o the cliff and spread his arms wide.
Shikamaru: The lonely loner, seems to free his mind tonight, eh, eh, eh night.
With his eyes closed, Shikamaru free fell from the cliff, the wind rushing below him blew his scarf before his face. Smiling, he took another drag of his cigarette.
Shikamaru: Day and night, the lonely stoner seems to free his mind tonight. He's all alone, some things will never change.
The sun began to creep up to the sky and Shikamaru put his hands behind his head as his descent slwed down and he softly landed on a large patch of grass.
Shikamaru: The lonely loner seems to free his mind to tonight, eh, eh, eh night.
Shikamaru sat up as something in his pocket started to vibrate, quickly pulling it, he placed it to his ear.
Shikamaru: Hold the phone, the lonely stoner, Mr. Solo doe low.
He stood to his feet and and starting walking as the scenery of the village fell around him.
Shikamaru: He's on the move, can't seem to shake the shade.
A strange shadow stood in front of him and replayed his own life to him.
Shikamaru: Inside his dreams he sees the life he made, made.
He said stepping inside the shadow.
Shikamaru: The pain is deep.
Once inside felt a something aching in his chest, gripping it, he fell to the ground unconious. His soul flew from his body and gazed down at itself.
Shikamaru: A silent sleeper, you won't hear a peep, peep.
Shikamaru's soul returned to his body and he slowly turned up, finding himself in the chunin exams arena, with Temari coming down at him with her fan ready to crush him.
Shikamaru: The girl he wants don't seem to want him too.
He said rolling to the side, avoiding the attack. However, the second that Temari's fan landed on the ground she fashed it open and fiercely waved it at him, sending a powerful gale crashing into him, pinning him against the wall.
Shikamaru: It seems the feelings that she had are through, through.
Suddenly the force of the winds pushed him through the wall as if it were a paper bag, sending Shikamaru drifting through the air like a loose piece of paper.
Shikamaru: Cause day and night, the lonely stoner seems to free his mind tonight.
He turned downward as he puffed his cigarette, staring down at the village he was soaring over.
Shikamaru: He's all alone and through the day and night. The lonely loner seems to free his mind tonight, eh, eh, eh night.
The sun in the sky descended down into the ocean and cated the world in darkness. Shikamaru rolled in mid air as he scarf on his neck wavered behind him, dipping into scean he now flew over.
Shikamaru: Day and night, the lonely stoner seems to free his mind tonight, he's all alone some, things will never change. The lonely loner seems to free his mind tonight.
Flipping backwards, Shikamaru regained control of his body and readied to land as land rushed to cover the ocean below him.
Shikamaru: Eh, eh, eh night.
Shikamaru landed softly to his feet and turned to the side.
Shikamaru: Slow mo-
He side making the world and people around him slow down under the force of the world.
Shikamaru: When the tempo slows up and creates that new, new-
He said turning to the side twice, making two shadow images of himself appear at his side.
Shikamaru: He seem alive, through he is feeling blue.
He said waving down both arms, turning the entire world azure.
Shikamaru: The sun is shining, man he's super cool, cool. The lonely nights-
He said as the sun began to rise into the sky.
Shikamaru: They fade away, he slips into his white nikes.
He said changing his ninja shoes for a fresh pair of "Air Kages" before standing up and finishing his cigarette.
Shikamaru: He smokes a clip and then he's on the way.
Shikamaru's head burst open and his brain began to float into the air.
Shikamaru: To free his mind in search of, to free his mind in search of, to free his mind in search of-
He said as his brain fell back into his skull, sending a shockwave through his body.
Shikamaru: Day and Night.
As his eyes regained focus he locked them onto a stairway of light, leading all the way up to the sky. Proceeding to walk up them he continued.
Shikamaru: The lonely stoner seems to free his mind tonight, He's all alone and through the day and night. The lonely loner seems to free his to night. Eh, eh, eh night. Day and night, the lonely stoner seems to free his mind tonight. He's all alone, some things will never change.
He said as he reached the top of the staircase, right in front of the sun. Shikamaru pulled out another cigarette and held it up to the massive star, igniting it as he took a poof.
Shikamaru: The lonely loner seems to free his mind tonight-
As he breathed in the staircase below disappeared and he fell down to the earth in slow motion.
Shikamaru: Eh, eh, eh, night.
He said landing gently into his bed, rolling over into a deep slumber.
Omake theater, closed!
Sakura: Hi, everyone, welcome again to character Introduction corner.
JJ: Hey, when did you get here?
Ino: She was here two hours ago, I guess you beating her here last time must have really hit home.
Sakura twitched and grimaced at her friend's words.
Sakura: That's not why, it's because today's episode is special.
JJ: I guess it is.
Ino: Well, shall I began?
JJ: Feel free.
Ino coughed into her fist and let down a banner.
Ino: This is an all character appearance show, which will be for talking and answering questions, instead of the usual singling out, many people will come in to answer questions.
Sakura: Shall we begin?
Ino: Let's.
Naruto: Alright, shot.
Sakura: JJ, how come it is that Fou-lu can speak through you?
Naruto: I've wondered that too, Mom can't speak through my body, yet Fou-lu can speak through yours.
JJ: Actually, it's because Fou-lu sealed his soul into my body, Yubiki and Naruto are two seperate entities, even in the canon storyline, the kyuubi couldn't control Naruto's body, it just manipulated him through suggestion, or clouded his distinction to make him behave as it does. It never truly takes him over. Fou-lu and I however, are of one body and mind. We are the same person, and I also inherited his memories, which is why I'm so knowledgable as well as gaining his jutsus.
Hinata: Wow, so do you remember things from years ago?
JJ: Yes, but Fou-lu distanced himself from the human world, so I have very limited knowledge of it.
He said with a smile.
Yubiki: I have a question, why is Insuru such a dick?
She said gazing at said man, who smiled back at her.
JJ: Well, speaking as the author.
"SMASH"
Kiba: That was the sound of the fourth wall breaking!
He said with a smile as Akamaru barked at his side.
JJ: Because I have expectations of bad guys, I don't like to have villians that have a massive build up and then they wound up not really being that bad or strong in the end. Such as Orochimaru in the canon storyline who just got beat like he was nothing, things like that feel half-assed to me. I like for my bad guys to kick kittens, catapult babies, eat puppies, be sexist, ravenous, pretty much, I just want you to hate them. If someone's going to be evil, he's going to be evil as hell GUNDAMMIT!!!!
Gai: Let your youth burn!
JJ: Yes, that's how I write fanfiction dammit, and in my original stories as well. Cause that's how I roll.
Shikamaru: Hey, Day and night was about weed wasn't it, why did you use cigarettes.
JJ: Something about negative black stereotypes.
He said turning away.
JJ: I'd pretty much have people saying, oh so they all do love to smoke weed. I say for the record right now, that I do not smoke, and I've never been drunk......but I do rap.......Anyway.
Ino: What's the difference between half-demons and demi-gods?
JJ: Good question, I'll start with half demons.
He said pulling Yura in front of him, causing her to shreik a little.
JJ: Yura has distinct cat-like features that she inherited from her demon side, however, those characteristics can't be hidden or dsiguised without using clothing. Yubiki can hide her beast form easily by changing into the form of a human, however half demons like Yura are stuck in the middle.
He said pushing the girl into Kiba who caught her with a smile.
JJ: Can one of you without connections to another species tell me what Yubiki's most powerful form is?
Shino: It would be her beast form right?
He asked showing interest in the conversation.
JJ: Rght, yet can any of you tell me what Amateresu's most powerful form would be?
Tenten: The same right?
JJ: Wrong, Gods and Godesses are most powerful in the form of a human. The reason behind that because humans were created in the image of gods, however, their nature was created in the image of demons. In short, the appearance of humanity is that of the gods, but they tend to act like demons, which is why the fear them.
Sasuke: The old saying of people not liking something that reminds them of themself.
JJ: Exactly, because of this human genetics and the genes of the gods tend to mix well. The child will be born with a human body, meaning they'll be mortal, but they'll retain all of their godly powers. Because of their appearance, they can easily mix in with normal people. As generations pass, even in the event of continued breeding with humans, the power of the gods inside that child will grow. Mika and Raizen are such examples, however there are times when the powers will go unnoticed even by the descendant, such as Minato. However, Naruto's control over wind chakra is a dead give away. They all have different effects too, such as Mika only having to use an insgnifcant amount of chakra to move earth, and Raizen who can discharge amazing amounts of Lightning, but his chakra drains. It's like that.
He said as everyone gathered around him as if they were in class.
Insuru: Hey, sensei's a kid.
Aneha: Maybe he's a wizard too.
They said with mocking smiles before Yubiki smacked them both.
Yubiki: Queit, Sensei is teaching!
JJ: Thank you class rep-san. Anyway, now on to half demons, because their nature is akin to human and not appearance the genes don't mix as well. These children and permanately stuck in a middle form and can't blend into society, which makes them the target of many people who fear demons. Howver, don't attain their full demon power, but they do gain immortality, immense pyhsical strength and certain family traits. However, the reason why Yura can neutralize chakra is unknown, there have never been a case like that before. as time passes and continued breeding with humans, the demon blood begins to thin out and eventually becomes unnoticable, which is why Naruto is such a rare case. The breeding of a demon and a god is restrictly forbidden in law.
He said turning to the young boy.
JJ: However, Naruto is a human, a demon, and a god in the same body. Only for the veiwers, if you look back to the first chapter you'll notice Naruto's strange abilities, and this is something you'll need to remember. Naruto chakra was able to make trees grow and live underground. I'll give a cyber cookie to anyone who can figure it out.
JJ pulled on a cord and watched as a flyer unraveled in front of everyone. It read "HOTTEST GIRL IN ANIME POLL."
JJ: Now, that the chapter is over, I want you all to do something for me, my precious readers. I have a friend named KingKakashi, he's a pro and he rocks at writing fanfics, he's also one of my favorite authors. Right now he's holding a poll for the hottest, sexiest, and most beautiful girl in anime. Right now the poll is going strong, just search up his page a choose the top ten girls you like. Right now Hinata is winning.
Hinata: Wha?
Naruto: Hey!?
JJ: Well, she is hot, and at that she's also the beautiful girl on the inside too.
Naruto: Well, that true.
Hinata: Naruto-kun.
She said with a massive blush on her face.
Sakura: What about me, where do I rank?
JJ went wide eyed like a fish and stared at Sakura as everyone else did the same. After fifteen ackward seconds, everyone turned to the screen and smiled.
JJ: Anyway, that's all for this episode, next time we'll be back to the single interveiw.
Sakura: Hey, answer me!
JJ: So to everyone out there.
ALL: Shine eternal!!!!!!!!!
Sakura: Hey, answer me goddammit!!!!!!!!!!!!
