Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Eyes piercing the darkness ❯ Angels and demons: A fated clash! ( Chapter 17 )
[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
I'm going to hurry up and get into the chapter. Why? Because I left the last one on a cliffhanger, and while I hate those things, I am a very evil person who likes to subject others to the things I hate. In other words, feel my pain. Now on to the references!
Bleach: I made several references to this in the last chapter. The "Ishi-hime, we're gonna play a little game." and the Orihime kidnap scene, both in mention and in re-enacting. But before anyone mentions it, the kage-hochou was not one of the them. The Kage-hochou is a direct link from my first original story, named the shadow step. One of my characters had the ability to teleport and travel through the shadows of object and people, and even his own. Also, Chronos is not based on Ulliqura, he's loosely based on Fate Averuncus from the Negima series. Even their hair is the same color.
Sonic: During his good mood, Raizen ran through the streets singing. But for those who don't like sonic, Raizen was singing the 4kids version of the opening theme song to Sonic X. Why? Because it was another point out to the fact that Raizen was inspired by Sonic the hedgehog.
Naruto: Clash of ninja revolution 2: Once again, for those who don't know, Kagura, Tsunade's other student, is from the clash of ninja games. She's a white haired beauty who used to be in Anbu, but defected the village when Tsunade refused to take her on as a student. However, as I have with many other characters and will do again. I felt that she was someone to cool to let die. So in this story, that tall drink of water actually managed to become Tsunade's apprentice and travels with her. She will be playing a big role later on.
School rumble: Fans of this series may have noticed the direct reference to this series, but I used the name Harima and Kenji, during Chronos' meeting with Hinata. Which is the name of the story's semi-main character. To make the reference more noticable I even had him mention the name Tenma, the girl he likes, and Imouto-san, which is what he calls Tenma's little sister Yakumo. And for those wondering I ship Harima x Yakumo, just in case anyone was wondering.
Many things happened in the last chapter, and in this one I will finish those things off, as well as begin the wave of descent that begins with it. Are you all ready? Because now ends the Tsunade retrieval arc and the beginning of the path to darkness arc. Now without further ado, let's get started.
____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________
An gels and demons: a fated clash!
Chronos stood triumphantly over Shizune, holding her hair roughly between his fingers as his hand's glow became brighter. Time was scarce, Tsunade was going to have to make a decision, and fast. With her resolve slowly fading Tsunade dropped her shoulders, but before she could give a response to the boy's question a kunai latched to a wire ripped through the boy's hand, severing it from his body. Shizune limply fell to thr ground and coughed in pain as the boy looked at his stomp of a hand without interest.
Chronos: Bothersome.
Naruto: Bastard!!!
He shouted as he warped in front of the boy fiercely slamming his fist into his face with enough force to crush the wall surround Tanzuku castle's gate behind them. As the rubble collapsed around the boy Kagura lifted her younger friend and stared at Orochimaru who only sighed at the situation's change.
Orochimaru: Always with the theatrics Naruto?
Naruto: You have the nerve to show your face to me? After I finish what I started with him you're next.
Chronos: Excuse me, but what did you start?
He asked standing behind Naruto with his hand placed at the back of his head. With a single flash he sent Naruto soaring through the buildings behind him.
Chronos: Humans always assume they're stronger than they are.
He said as he lifted his severed hand and placed it back on his wrist. With not even the slightest effort he reattached the limb as if it were detachable.
Chronos: I didn't expect you to show up so soon. You must not have cared enough for the girl to stay by her side.
He said slowly walking forward, Naruto tried to lift himself, dripping chakra from his with every passing second.
Tsunade: Shizune?
Shizune: I'm okay.
She said pushing herself from Kagura's grip.
Chronos: I believe that we had business Baabaa.
Tsunade: No, we don't.
Chronos:......Regrettable.
Came a solemn remark as the boy closed his eyes. Tsunade cracked her knuckles without revealing her emotions, then with a furios roar she slammed her palm into the side wall around Tanzuku castle.
Tsunade: You threaten the people I care about and give an offer like that. It'll be a snow day in hell before I let a brat like you start giving me orders.
Chronos: Heh, how rude. I'm actually hundreds of years older than you Baabaa. Either way, it seems that negotiations have broken down. Orochimaru, you don't mind if I kill the "forbidden one" do you?
Orochimaru: No, Keep him alive, I need him breathing in order to recieve his powers.
Chronos: So picky.
He said as he ducked under Naruto's fist and slammed his palm onto the boy's chest.
Chronos: Let's take this to a more suitable place.
At his words another flash covered the area, sending Naruto flying the through the town and into a massive feild. During his flight Naruto regained his balance and landed to his feet just in time for Chronos to appear in front of him.
Chronos: I'm ready, aren't you angry? Are you going to fight me with everything you have, or stand there all day?
Naruto growled and roared into the heavens as a cloak of red chakra spill from his body, slowly enveloping him until fours tails hang from his back.
Chronos: Are you going to fight me like that?
He said in amusement.
Naruto: I'll kill you!!!!!
Chronos: Feel free to try.
Naruto vanished from sight and reappeared at Chronos' side. At lightning speed he slashed at Chronos, but the boy vanished as well, not leaving a trail of chakra behind him.
Naruto: That's not the kage-hochou.
He thought aloud as he ducked under Chronos' fist. With a sigh of disappointment the boy launched his other fist up into Naruto's chest, creating a massive explosion behind it. Naruto's upper half vanished in smoke, but suddenly reappeared under his pelvis.
Naruto: RRRRAAAAARRRR!
He shouted as he slashed upward at the boy, but before his claws could land Chronos was standing behind him.
Chronos: I'm growing bored.
He said as he lifted his foot into the air and slammed it down into the back of Naruto's head.
Chronos: I expected more.
He said as he snapped his fingers, calling forth a large wave of white light that slammed down into Naruto's back. Even in the menacing form he now had, he screamed in pain under the force of the attack. Chronos stared down expressionlessly as Naruto was being crushed by the massive pillar. Naruto lifted himself, despite the massive amount of pressure and stood to his feet inside the pillar.
Naruto: DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!
He screamed to the sky, dispeling the attack completely. The four tails behind Naruto formed an arc behind his back and spilled black matter in front of him. With a sideways glance, Naruto turned to Chronos before grabbing a hand full of the matter giving it a tight squeeze. Once he reopened his hand the matter had formed into a tiny black swirling ball.
Naruto: Try and dodge this.
He said with a slight chuckle as he crossed the ground without a second's hesiatation. Naruto reached Chronos and then stopped, much like he expected, the boy vanished from sight and reappeared behind him. Naruto smiled and his upper half turned around without moving his legs.
Naruto: Dark matter Rasengan!
Chronos smiled slightly and awaited the inevitable impact, or what should have been inevitable. Chronos was suddenly at his side holding Naruto's hand without taking a single step. Almost effortlesly, Chronos turned Naruto's hand back to his chest and used his own attack against him. A massive blast of yellow energy overtook Naruto's body as he screamed out in pain and went flying through the sky and the many trees behind it. No expression was given by the smaller boy, he kinew that the battle wasn't over, at that, he knew he hadn't really hit the raging demon. Naruto had been calmly watching him from the trees since they started.
Chronos: Your demon clone jutsu is impressive.
Naruto: You're just now noticing that it wasn't me?
He asked as he pushed himself from the tree and stared at the boy with crystal blue eyes.
Naruto: As absurd as this sounds, you're stopping time aren't you?
Chronos: You were calm enough to figure that out? Seems you're sharper than I thought.
He said staring to Naruto with expressionless eyes.
Naruto: That's still not enough to help you.
He said calmly as his clone returned from the forest, pissed as all hell. Slicing wind became an echoing sound as Chronos lifted his hand and sliced through the clone with a single swipe. A powerful wave appeared that reached high into the heavens and crashed through the forest behind Naruto. As the wave passed by, it moved mere inches from Naruto's face, yet he didn't even move an inch.
Tsunade: Naruto!!!!
She shouted, not managing to avert the gaze he had locked on his opponent. Naruto stepped back in a single motion, dodging Orochimaru's sword as it rushed past him. Naruto leaned his eyes over to the new arrival in the battle, but made no move to retreat.
Orochimaru: I'm sorry, but your interference must stop here.
He said stepping forward, arms swinging like limp noodles at his side.
Naruto: (He must have moved in while I was fighting. What's more, he's not the only one here.)
He thought to himself as he jumped back away from a chakra coated slash. After failing to gain the initiative in the assualt, Kabuto landed in front of Naruto and smiled as he pushed his glasses to the bridge of his nose.
Kabuto: I guess I jumped the gun a little too soon.
Chronos: I don't recall asking you to interfere.
He said to his companions who both smiled in return. Far down the feild Tsunade closed the distance between them and the awaiting battle, but Naruto could history by the time she reached them.
Tsunade: Kagura, buy some time!!!
Kagura: You got it!
She replied as she lifted her arms swiftly hurling wire-laced kunai through the very earth. Once the re-emerged they were all in front of Naruto, proudly displaying the explosive tags that were tied to the bottom. Because of her time watching Naruto train, she had extreme confidence that he would dodge the attack, which wasn't misplaced. The others however, were forced to scatter.
Chronos: Bothersome wench!
He said losing his infinite cool. Naruto wasn't going to waste any time, without delay he closed the distance between him and the young white haired boy in front of him. None of the others were important, merely bugs flying around his real battle. Chronos smiled at his approaching target with eager anticipation. His wait wasn't long, within half of a second Naruto had closed the distance between them with a straight punch through his kage-hochou.
Naruto: I didn't think that'd land.
He said looking at the flat palm holding his fist. Naruto smiled and flicked his left foot to the side, initiating his kage-hochou once again, only to move one inch forward, with his left foot soaring across the air, slamming into Chronos' face, the first hit he had landed on the boy. Chronos flew back across the ground then threw himself into the air, landing on nothingness. Chronos stood in mid air, looking down to Naruto without even one sign that Naruto punishing kick had done anything. A single upward gaze from the airbourne boy alerted Naruto to the approaching danger as Kabuto and Orochimaru closed in once again.
Naruto: Dammit!
He said quickly turning back to the two dangerous missing nin however, in his blood lust, Orochimaru failed to notice the massive fist coming for his face.
Tsunade: You let your guard down!
She shouted as she pounded the man's face, feeling the breaking bones under her fist. Orochimaru slid for two miles before coming to a stop, yet Kabuto never once turned from his advance, himself missing something coming up on him, until it was too late.
Hinata: 8 Trigrams: Single star point release!!
She shouted as she slammed her right elbow and left palm into Kabuto's back simultaenously. As the the blow landed fifty orbs of chakra shot from Kabuto's body and covered the surrounding area. As if moving against time, Hinata fluidly twirled to Kabuto's front and pulled back both palms.
Hinata: 8 Trigrams: Heaven splitting palm!!!
Hinata's hands gathered the spheres of chakra to her palms and she slammed it through Kabuto's body before soaring into the heavens. The blood that erupted from Kabuto's mouth was enough to coat the entire area, leaving him little more than enough time to recover from the attack. As his body stewed in pain on the ground Hinata stood to her feet and spoke to Naruto without turning to him.
Hinata: I'm sorry I worried you. And I apologize Kabuto-san, but because of that boy Naruto is fighting right now, I'm in rather foul mood. Since I know my Naruto-kun can handle him, I'll just have to settle for you to relieve this built up hostility.
She said with eyes blazing red. Kabuto slowly lifted himself and wiped the blood from his mouth as his body slowly healed.
Kabuto: I didn't know that the Hyuuga favored sneak attacks.
Hinata: Such is the nature of a ninja, right. Besides, on my way here I saw you sneaking up on Naruto rather often, hypocritical Otaku.
Kabuto: Otaku?
He said with a chuckle as he stepped forward.
Kabuto: I'm going to enjoy this little girl. I want to try my style against someone else who can attack directly into the human body.
Hinata: Hehehe.
She said as she squeezed her hand onto the air, forming a scythe from the water in her tightly clencthed fist.
Hinata: You'll have to hit me first.
Naruto: I'll make him pay for what he did to you Hinata-hime.
Hinata: Alright.
She said back-to-back with boyfriend as both ran for their enemy. As Orochimaru finally stopped his own slide he came face to face with his former teammate. Her gaze cast downward at the crushed man she asked.
Tsunade: You saw it fit to sic your hounds on me to make me obey?
Orochimaru: If that's what it took.
He said lifting himself from the ground, completely unfazed by the woman's fierce punch. Orochimaru smiled as he closed his eyes to the blonde sannin.
Orochimaru: However, I figured you would be too stubborn to listen to my words. Force is the only other way.
He said as he re-opened his eyes, revealed a deep red glow in his pupils, laced with gold.
Orochimaru: If you will not help me, than you must vanish, along with everything associated with you.
Jiraiya: I dare you to try that.
The last of the three great shinobi stepped from the forest accompanied by Mika as they slowly walked into the middle of the fight.
Jiraiya: Sorry it took me so long to get here, I was gathering information, and I picked up a juicy little tidbit. But, I guess that'll have to wait.
He said cracking his knuckles.
Mika: Is JJ here yet?
Shizune: We haven't seen him.
Mika: Heh, then he's here.
She said as she dropped into stance.
Mika: I've been waiting for a chance to fight you.
Orochimaru dropped his smile and heaved a deep sigh before roaring out.
Orochimaru: Fine then, I'll kill you all together.
Tsunade narrowed her eyes and said back to her two students
Tsunade: I want you to go back to town and evacuate anyone in this area.
Kagura: But, what about you?
Tsunade: Right now I'll be able to manage, just make sure that all of the civilians stay away from this area.
Shizune: Alright, be careful lady Tsunade.
Tsunade: As careful as I can be.
She said as the presence of the two younger women vanished from beside her. JJ stepped out into the feild and frowned as he looked on with Hanabi at his side gazing up at him.
Hanabi: What do we do?
JJ: We watch, if things get too bad, someone needs to be able to jump in at a moment's notice.
Hanabi: Okay, I know they can handle this.
She said practically digging her own nails into her arms , trying to stiffle the urge to jump in. JJ placed his hand on he girl's head and said with determination.
JJ: If anything is even almost about to happen, I'll kill them all in order to save those we care about.
He said reassuring the small girl at his side. As much as he wanted to, there were people who had a better place in that fight rather than him, and even if things got bad, someone needed to be able to remove everyone from the field. Being as he was the strongest of the children and the fastest in the group, it would fall upon him to save everyone. However, overlapping his own logic was the knowledge that no matter how much he wanted to jump in, he wasn't needed. Instead he watched on with bated breath.
(Flash)
Hinata pushed back to taller boy as if he was nothing. No matter how many ways he came at her, much like she had said, he could land a blow. Hinata smiled at him and motioned for him to come at her again, but this time he remained cautious. That scythe wasn't for show, she could easily kill him if she wanted.
Hinata: Am I going to have to make the first move?
She asked taunting Kabuto with an arrogant smirk. With a roar of rage he rushed at Hinata once again, but quickly ducked under the scythe slash she made for hs head. During a roll he reached out his chakra covered hand for her leg, but the shadow quickly approaching him alerted him to the fact that he wouldn't have enough time to touch her. Aborting his plan, Kabuto kicked the ground and sent himself into another roll far away from the girl as her scythe slammed into the ground, right where his heart would have been.
Kabuto: (She's trying to kill me.)
He thought to himself as he stared at the normally kind hearted girl. At the moment, she was a shinobi, fighting an enemy who threatened something she wish to protect, that meant that mercy was a luxury that couldn't be afforded. Hinata lifted her scythe from the dirt and hung it over her shoulder as she smiled at the boy in front of her.
(Music que: Philistine by Nadia Gifford. No more heroes 2 OST)
Hinata: Come at me anytime you wish.
Se said once again taunting the older boy. Angered by the girl's insolence he rushed forward once again, eager to gain the advantage back from her. However, Hinata wasn't ready to give in to his attacks. Each moveent he made was counter by the small girl's natural flexibility. With a single thrust he managed to move his hand for her heart, but the second he was close enough Hinata slammed the hilt of her scythe down onto his hand and turned into a kick that slammed into his face, harnessing the momentum of her spin, Hinata lifted the scyte into the air and slashed across Kabuto's chest. If he hadn't managed to move slightly before the attack Hinata would have made him a two piece. Hinata landed to the ground in a crouch and smiled as she rushed for the boy as he spun to the ground. Each step move her several feet within seconds. Realizing the danger headed his way, Kabuto turned his body so that he would land on his back and then flipped in the opposite direction as Hinata slammed her scythe down for him.
Kabuto: I'll finish this now.
He said as he covered both hands in chakra and leapt back for Hinata, spinning sideways liked a buzzsaw. Hinata quickly held up her weapon and countered every attack by clashing with her own weapon. Hinata twisted her body and quickly dragged the scythe at her side, ready to rip through Kabuto's neck as he landed, but with the unmatched grace, Kabuto manage to lean back under it. Even with his movement, when he leaned back up, all he could see was the heel of a foot flying for his face. Hinata had kicked for him the second her scythe had moved. Kabuto once again found himself sliding across the ground, marveling at the girl's strength, but before he could even stop himself Hinata had sent water senbon flying for him, each ripping through his body without fail. As his body lay, impaled to the ground Hinata quickly closed the distance between them. Kabuto looked up, blood leaking from his mouth, he saw Hinata standing over him as the grim reaper ready to rend him of his soul. With quickly placed hand signs he managed to replace himself before the attack could reach him, but he also unwisely chose to do so as a means to atack Hinata from behind. As if she could read his mind, Hinata slammed her scythe into the ground and flipped into the air, simultaenously dragging her scythe upward through Kabuto's body. Once again the boy had managed to avoid the brunt of the blow, but the blow had left a massive wound on his shoulder. Hinata landed to her feet as Kabuto collasped and yawned in his face.
Hinata: I'm getting bored.
She said throwing her scythe onto her back. Kabuto waited for the wound on his shoulder to heal, and once again he ran after the girl. Hinata smoothly stepped to the side and leaned forward as she spun the scythe on her back, slashing after Kabuto's neck. The boy narrowly managed to escape it, then he turned around with a slah of his own, which Hinata swiftly turned away from. Hinata gripped tightly onto her scythe and swung it low toward Kabuto's feet, yet by a miracle, he managed to leap over it. Once again not sparing even a second, Hinata spun again and slashed across Kabuto's chest. Kabuto spun to the ground with a beautiful trail of blood streaming behind him, quickly making him realize, he was not going to beat this girl. Before he could hit the ground he flipped into landing position and tossed himself back to his feet, completely losing the range to counterattack. Even as he tried to escape the girl's attacks, more just flew at him from afar as Hinata swung her scythe, sending waves of ice flying at the fleeing boy. Kabuto placed his hand on the ground and tossed himself into the air, hastily throwing a kunai at Hinata as he ran, but the girl effortlessly knocking it away with her weapon before rushing across the feild after her opponent. Kicking the ground as hard as she could, Hinata sent herself into the air, her scythe pulled back, ready for the descent that would decide the fate of her victim. As she dropped she slammed her scythe down into the ground where Kabuto was only seconds before.
Hinata: Coward. Eight trigrams!
She shouted as she twirled her scythe in front of her.
Hinata: Fox hunt!!!!
She shouted as she swung her scythe in Kabuto's direction, sending forth a massive fox formed from pure chakra. As the fox rushed forward it shattered into five blades that ripped Kabuto's body apart, but alas, he simply replaced himself and vanished from Hinata's range of attack.
Hinata: He got away? Heh.
She said pointing her scythe to ground. Hinata turned back and gazed at Naruto's battle.
(Naruto)
Clentching his fist, Naruto ran toward the white haired boy in front of him, ready to end his immortal life with his own hands, but no matter how many times he attacked, the boy just warped away from it.
Chronos: You're too slow.
He said in a voice barely above a whisper as he teleported behind Naruto, thrusting a massive blade at his back, but before the blade could reach, Naruto flipped the side and hurled a kunai at the boy.
Chronos: Useless.
Was all he said as he warped in front of the kunai. Once Naruto landed he found the boy staring right into his eyes. With a palm covered in light, Chrono's slammed his open hand into Naruto's chest. A brilliant flash covered the entire area as Naruto was blasted back along the ground. Managing to turn his body in mid-air Naruto returned his gaze to Chronos as he grew closer.
Naruto: Alright, come closer you little bastard.
He said to himself as Chronos warped across the ground until he stood under him. Shock appeared in boy's eyes as his opponent prepared another powerful charge of light, but a smile quickly crossed his face. Naruto dropped down and quickly left a trace of his chakra in front of Chronos before he could prepare for the attack. Naruto slammed his fist into the boy's face and commanded his clone to slam it's rasengan into the boy's back. After taking the blow Chronos leaned to the side and exhaled then within that same second he was on the other side of the feild. Naruto clone dodged at the last second to avoid colliding his attack with is master, but the main Naruto grabbed the clones free arm and hurled him at Chronos. Quickly adjusting to the change in tradjectory Naruto's clone charged after the white haired boy as if nothing could stop him, yet with a single swipe of his hand, a wave ripped through the clone, yet Naruto warped past the wave and slammed his fist down into Chronos' face.
Naruto: Got you!
He shouted as he followed up with a rising knee, but when Chronos saw the incoming attack he was suddenly standing at Naruto's side. At light speed he formed his hand into a blade and slashed for Naruto's side which the blonde hero barely managed to dodge. Grasping his side Naruto stared at his enemy with hatred in his eyes, yet within seconds he was being sliced to ribbons as Chronos warped around him, cutting gracefully, yet avoiding the vitals. Once Chronos finally finished his assualt he stopped at Naruto's side and held up his hand, licking the blood from it as Naruto's wound erupted with red fluid. As Naruto fell to his knees Chronos turned back to him and said.
Chronos: I'm disappointed.
Naruto: Don't be, I just figured you out.
He said as he stood to his feet.
Naruto: It took a while, but I was able to see it all. Mika once told me that, her powers have laws. She can only control earth if her feet have a direct link to it or if she can see it and link to it by moving her hands. If there was no stone underfoot or in sight, she would be helpless. I figured you had a law too.
He said with a smile. Lifting a single hand Naruto clentched it tightly and continued.
Naruto: Even when I hit you, you never rewound time, so that's beyond your abilities.
Chronos: No matter what the powers maybe, once history is written, it can't be changed. Whether that be even a second, or an hour, what has already happened, will not be reversed.
Naruto: That's what I figured, another thing I figured out was, each time you hit me, I saw it happen.
With a lifted eyebrow, Chronos pyhsically asked Naruto to continue what he was saying.
Naruto: In order for you to freeze time, you need to relax your body, which means that you can't exert force when doing that. If you even put forth to much of a force, say enough to cut someone, your power will cancel out.
Chronos gave Naruto a sideways smile and closed his eyes before giving him a round of applause.
Chronos: Good, you're absolutely right.
Bringing his hands to a stop he looked deep into Naruto's eyes.
Chronos: However, klnowing how something works and being able to stop it are two different things entirely.
He said taking a step forward, before Naruto could react Chronos was standing in front of him with his leg coming down for his head.
Chronos: Knowledge is nothing without skill.
As his leg descended, Naruto's arms snapped above his head and blocked the incoming kick as if it were nothing.
Naruto: Yeah, but that saying can also go the other way you know.
He said as he pushed his arms up and flipped the white haired boy into the air. With perfect timing Naruto turned into a spin and slammed his foot into Chronos' ace, sending him sliding across the ground like a skipping rock. With a single flipped Chronos hurled himself into the air and stopped his backward movement by releasing an explosion of light behind his back, making him slowly descend to the ground.
Chronos: Interesting.
He said wiping the blood from his mouth.
Chronos: You're able to see what I'm doing and react within the span of milli second intervals. Truly a worthy opponent.
He said once again walking forward as the blonde boy started doing handsigns. Chronos closed his eyes and suddenly appeared behind Naruto, surely he couldn't react to something that happened behind him. With his hand now formed into a sharp blade, he thrust at Naruto's back, but before the blow could land, Naruto flipped back over him and placed his hand on the boy's face.
Naruto: Wind style: Slicing gale justu!
At his shout, the howling wind and millions of blades shot from the boy's hand, slicing down the boy's body and then blasting him down into the gaurd. Just as Naruto dropped the deliver another blow Chronos was one again far away from him.
Chronos: How?
He asked as he panted for air, then he noticed something. Naruto's byakugan was blazing strong glowing with his eyes full of rage.
Chronos: I see, that's why you knew what I was going to do, but no matter. I have more tricks I have yet to show.
He said snapping his fingers, making what appeared to be a wormhole appear at his side. The sound of metal came from the boy's hand as it formed into a blade.
Chronos: Can you react in time now?
He asked as he stabbed his hand into the wormhole, which suddenly reappeared in front of Naruto. With very little time Naruto jumped away, barely managing the avoid the blade, but another came down from above. Through his eyes, he could see Chronos randomly stabbing through multiple wormholes each time anothe blade reappeared around Naruto, ruthlessly aiming for anything it could hit.
Naruto: Dammit!!!
He shout ed as he burst into a sprint, the only way he could stop that attack was if he could attack from close range.
Naruto: Demon clone jutsu!!
He shouted as four clones appeared at his side and rushed for their opponent.
Naruto: Rip him to shreds!
He shouted as the clones opened their mouths to reveal jagged fangs, ready to feast on the white haired boy, but without even showing the slightest fear he stabbed through each of them without even taking a step forward, yet even with those wounds, the clones kept charging like mad-men.
Chronos: They didn't stop.
He said to himself in a whisper, with a shrug of disinterest he continued ripping away at the rushing clones, until finally, they dropped to the ground.
Naruto: Soooooorrryyyyyaaaaa!
He shouted as he fell down for Chronos, who simply pulled his hand free from the wormhole and slashed across Naruto's chest as he grew close.
Chronos: Pathetic.
Chronos hand latched onto Naruto's face and gripped tightly before growing into a flash that blasted Naruto back across the field.
Chronos: Hm, that should have killed you.
He said as he looked at Naruto, rising from the dirt, panting hard.
Naruto: I'm not that easy to kill.
Chronos: Good, I wouldn't want this to be too short.
He said as he opened another wormhole.
Chronos: Entertain me.
Even as Naruto lifted himself, he found that he was going to have one hell of a hard time fighting against this boy.
(Flash)
Mika narrowly dodged Orochimaru's jaws as they clamped down for her by placing a large stone club in front of her.
Mika: Bastard!
She shouted as she pushed back against the man, throwing him off of her. Orochimaru's two tails swayed behind him as if they were made of cloth as he smiled. With a single sick chuckle he whipped across the feild like a snake, but before he could move in on the girl again a fist slammed into his face.
Jiraiya: Back off!
Pushing more weight onto his fist, he pushed back the man, yet only slightly. Orochimaru quickly turned and launched his foot forward, yet only managed to put himself directly into Tsunade's grip. Without hesitation and ignoring the burning feeling, she lifted the man into the air, and slamming him down onto the ground, creating a massive crater that spread out a mile long and wide. Once she looked down into the hole, she saw the remains of a broken man, who was still breaking apart, forming something from the pieces.
Jiraiya: Get back!!
He shouted as e grabbed the woman and retreated from the hole.
Mika: YAHH!
A loud crushing sound resounded through the area as Mika slammed her fist into the ground and resealed the hold below her, holding the man underneath the ground without even holes to breathe, but alas, under her feet hundreds of serpents emerged, covered in red chakra. As the ravenous snakes rushed forward, snapping wildly at the girl, Mika flipped back, barely managing to dodge them, even as she used the earth underfoot to smashed them, they size made it very easy to dodge her attacks.
Mika: Dammit!
She shoted as she slammed her foot onto the ground and sent herself into the air. With solid determination, the snakes didn't even falter when the girl took to the air, instead they just gathered together and wormed their way up to her. Mika's eyes went wide as she flipped back from her stone and avoided the many deadly snakes, but even that didn't deter the snake sannin. With almost impossible speed they turned from the stone and flew at the falling girl as if she were there only target, avoiding the many fangs was impossible, yet one of the other fighters was eager to remind his foe that he existed. Jiraiya moved himself to the girl's front hastily rushing through seals, he placed fingers around his mouth and blew a fierce flame into the snakes, torching them completely. As the flame blazed on something of a shape started to form inside it, and with a single blur the pale skinned man emerged, smashing his foot into his former teammates face, and without a single pause, he turned into a spin and slammed his foot into the young girl's face.
Tsunade: Jiraiya, Mika!
She shouted as she moved for them, but something behind her caught her attention. Sending her body into a spin she swung her fist back Kabuto leaned down into a split and avoided the attack before spinning around to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru: What are you doing here? Was that girl too much for you to handle?
Kabuto: As ashamed as I am to admit it, yes. She's not as weak as she seems, not even close.
Orochimaru: Oh, well. We can always take care of the kitsune-hime later.
He said stepping forward, slowly stalking toward the three he had been facing before hand, but suddenly a chill overtook him, something was different.
Mika: Step back.
She said giving only one warning to those who fought with her, her eyes completely devoid of emotion. Upon hearing the icy tone in the girl's voice the two sannin at her side moved as far back as they could, leaving the girl to whatever she was planning. With her fingers held out like claws Mika slammed her hand onto the ground and stared at Orochimaru as her link to the earth became as strong as it could be. With her eyes locked on to her opponents
Mika: Ultimate stone jutsu: L5 Explosion!
Mika dragged up her hands and the earth under foot began to shake furiously before shooting up from underneath like rockets.dragging those standing on it into the air, surrounded by what appeared to be magma, there was no escaping. Jiraiya and Tsunade stared on, grateful that they hadn't been on that massive slab of stone. Mika opened her hand and slapped her palms together, causing the massive slab to shatter, then when she pulled them apart the stone closed back together in a sphere buried in the magma. Mika spread her arms and formed a fist with her right hand before slamming it into the ground, making the 200 foot wide sphere explode in midair. Staring in wonder Tsunade began to realize how this girl had become the monster of stone, someone who had never had her name whispered, but was feared by all who opposed her.
Tsunade: Mika.
Mika: They survived.
Jiraiya: Who the hell could survive that?
Mika: Apparently them.
She said stepping back into stance, waiting for the two men to emerge from the floating rubble. When they did Orochimaru was covered in red chakra with seven tails draped behind him, covering Kabuto under his own cloak.
Orochimaru: Impressive.
He said dropping back to only three tails, giving Kabuto a side glance.
Kabuto: Understood.
Without another word he bit into his thumb and dragged it across his master's arm, then with a round of handsign s he slammed his palm into the slab of stone they stood on.
Kabuto: Summing Jutsu: Manda!
Once the seal below his palm appeared, Manda emerged from the bottom of the slab, soaring down through the sky to devour the girl. Jiraiya stared on, expecting the girl to move, but she didn't, something wasn't right.
Tsunade: Jiraiya, summon Gamabunta!
Jiraiya: Now?
Tsunade: That girl is unconcious!
With a wave of understanding and urgency washing over him, Jiraiya quickly moved through the seals and summon the mighty toad to his side. Without a moment's delay, Gamabunta moved to intercept the serpent's attack. However, the giant toad's speed wasn't something that he could boast about, he wasn't going to make it in time. However, just before the serpent's fangs could reached the girl, something snatched her out of the way with such speed that it couldn't be seen.
????: Silly girl, falling asleep while standing.
As Manda slammed into the ground he quickly lashed his tail at the new arrival on the battlefeild, but once again, his attack fell short. Yellow eyes turned the to the quick footed new arrival with malice as he smiled back at him.
Manda: You.
????: It's been a while Manda.
Spoke the strong black wolf holding up the young girl.
Manda: Dingo.
He called out in quiet rage, as the wolf handed the girl over to the two woman who had returned to the field.
Dingo: If I remember correctly, you're names are Kagura and Shizune, right?
Shizune: Yes.
Dingo: My summoner says for you to retreat to his position 200 yards east of this spot. Can you carry this girl with you.
Kagura: No problem. You take care of things from here.
Dingo: That was my intent.
He said as the women vanished from the feild.
Dingo: That whelp talks about how he wouldn't interfere, then he summons me to fight.
Tsunade: Is there some reason for that?
She asked stepping to the wolf's side as she started doing her own handsigns, watching Gamabunta prepare for the inevitable clash with Manda.
Dingo: If I know him, he's waiting for Orochimaru to leave himself open, he's planning to rid us of that problem in one blow, as well as killing off the "Fallen one" over there fighting the fox whelp. If what he's planning is what I think it is, it'll take at least ten more minutes to prepare. But there's another reason.
Jiraiya: That being?
Dingo: He wants to see if he has to.
He spoke, once again bringing up the boy's desire to see the events play out. His interference would stop something, he knew that. Something needed to happen, had to happen, something he wasn't supposed to interfere with, but even with that feeling, he was ready to jump in at any time.
Dingo: Why don't you handle your own problems so that that nosy whelp can relax and protect those who can't join in this fight.
With eyes cast upward, the two grounded sannin waited for the two sound nin to reach ground. With her palm open, Tsunade slammed down into the ground and shouted loudly.
Tsunade: Summoning jutsu: Katsuya!!
As the seal under her hand flared to life a giant slug appeared in front of Manda's fangs. As the serpent snapped down on the massive slug it squeezed down, trying to crush the life from her, but once his jaws connected the Katsuya bursted into millions of tiny slugs, all spreading across the area and onto the serpent's body. As the snake's attention became focused on the snake a mighty fist plundged into his face, knocking him to the ground in a spiraling heap. Gaining a feeling for the situation Manda burrowed under the ground, just in time to avoid Dingo's falling kick, but with the power of the attack, the ground below began to crumble above the serpent, forcing him back to the surface, but when he did, it was something none of the powerful beasts had expected, Manda's fangs snapped tightly onto Gamabunta's throat, growing tighter with every second.
Gamabunta: Dammit.
He croaked out, barely able to draw breath, but not willing to allow the serpent to have it's way. With a swift movement, he ripped his blade from his side and waved it at the snake, but once again the beast proved it's resilience. With a quick pull, it whipped it's body into the air and wrapped around Gamabunta's neck and arm, gaining more of an advantage in the situation. However, the problem with his advantage was, that he was alone, whereas, Gamabunta wasn't. Katsuya's many bodies crawled along Manda's body, burning him as if acid were being painted onto him, and then another stood on Gamabunta's shoulder. With a single punch, Dingo shattered one of Manda's fangs andsent him flying from the tired toad's neck.
Gamabunta: You sure took your sweet time.
Dingo: You had it covered.
He said with an arrogant smile that matched his summoner's. Jiraiya turned his eyes from the massive beasts and then up to Orochimaru, who seemed to be laughing at them from up above.
Jiraiya: Why is he just waiting there?
Tsunade: He wants to see something end.
She said giving a quick glance back to Naruto and Chronos.
Jiraiya: Then why are those rocks still floating?
Tsunade: That girl passed out because she was trying to restrain that jutsu, from what I heard about her from long ago, that move she used was called the genicide technique, meant to kill masses, yet she suppressed it, I'd wager that she still has a firm link on it, even during her unconcious state, which is why it's still up there.
Jiraiya: So in a nutshell, that bastard is going to keep looking down at us like this until he feels like coming down.
Tsunade: Or until we go up there.
She said looking at her white haired cohort. Jiraiya smiled and shouted out across the field.
Jiraiya: Gamabunta!!!
Gamabunta: What is it, can't you see I'm busy?
Jiraiya: We're going to cut off the hydra's main head and put this to rest, we need you to give us a boost.
Gamabunta gazed up and gained a smile over his face.
Gamabunta: I see, hop on.
He said as he placed his hand down to the ground allowing the two sannin to stand in his palm.
Gamabunta: GO!!!!
He shouted as he rocketed the two into the sky like missiles, Manda's gaze reached them as well, in an effort to stop them, he sprung himself in the air and opened his jaws, ready to clamp down on them, but before he could, Dingo's feet landed on his head and with a mighty push, he sent the snake spiraling down to the ground. On his way up, Dingo grabbed firmly onto the hands of the both sannin, then with a mighty roar, he threw them higher. As they flew each grabbed onto a different stone and stared at the two sound shinobi waiting for them.
Orochimaru: How upsetting, now I won't get to finish my show.
He said turning away from the two boys fighting to the new arrivals on his aerial utopia.
Orochimaru: Did you think you'd have the advantage up here?
He asked with his red tinted golden eyes looking dead at his enemies.
Tsunade: I don't need the advantage, just enough footing to get close to you.
She said patting her foot on the rock she stood upon as Orochimaru gazed at the scattered swarm of floating rocks.
Orochimaru: Alright, entertain me.
He said as he walked forward, the fox's cloak raging over his body. Kabuto stepped to his side and smile as he tightened the glove on his hand, this was going to be fun. With only a single step Orochimaru's body was thrown forward into a blur, smashing through the rock Tsunade stood on, but with the grace of an eagle, the woman leapt into the air and twisted down to another rock, where Kabuto was waiting. Without turning to the boy charging at her, Tsunade lifted her hand and slammed the back of it into the young boy's face, but as soon as she did he vanished into nothing and re-emerged at her side, with his hand glowing of his own chakra. Yet without even turning to face him, the woman's hands once again slammed back into him, crushing several of his bones into dust, and even with that, and the boy's body flying through several stones as a result of her attack, he had recovered before he could be thrown from the asteriod feild Mika had created. As he landed atop one of the floating rocks, he chuckled, pulling the shattered glasses from his face as he crushed them in his palm.
Kabuto: It seems I'm outmatched in this situation. Oh well, those two don't have long to live anyway.
He said dropping the glasses from the rock, leaving them to smash into the ground more than a hundred feet below. With wavering interest in the current situation, he decided to drop down to the ground, Orochimaru didn't need him there, and at present, he couldn't think of a reason to stay. As he landed to the ground his feet imprinted a large scar in the ground beneath him, yet his body remained unmarred.
Kabuto: Now you can cut loose, Orochimaru-sama.
He said as he began walking away from the feild, ignoring the battle that ensued around him. Orochimaru smiled, as if he could hear the boy's words from the ground, now there were no limits, he could fight without worrying about losing something that still had worth to him. And with eyes now filled with glee, he charged forward, opening his mouth wide, as if trying to swallow the entire asteriod feild.
Jiraiya: Move!!
He shouted to his female companion as the red missile shot after them. Quickly they fled across the many rocks, trying to dodge the massive mouth with everything they had, but sure enough, it caught up. Jiraiya slammed his fist shut and turned back to it as he pushed the woman out of the way, but as soon as the jaws reached him, he was blasted back into one of the floating stones, trying his damnedest to stop the man from snapping down on him.
Jiraiya: Dammit!
He said as he pushed up, trying to fight the man's grip, but it was obvious that Orochimaru was stronger than him with the fox's power, but Orochimaru's focus had settled on one target, ignoring the second. As if the speed of sound had been ascended, a rock hurdled through the air toward Orochimaru, colliding with his face with bone crushing force, knocking him from his former comrade and sending him flying to the side. When his mind finally recovered Orochimaru was below the many stones, yet with a single movement of his tails he was crawling along them like a spider. Once he grew close enough he flipped up toward his former teammates with his middle tail extended, and the resulting attack split through the stone as if it were a massive sword, threatening to kill anything it touched, yet thanks to Jiraiya's quick movements, he managed to catch neither of his intended targets. Orochimaru stared down in wonder as both of his targets vanished from his sight, but somehow, he could still smell them. Using that to his advantage he was able to tell where they were, cloaking themselves by using the rocks as cover from his sight, but when they realized that he was on to them, those rocks changed from normal cover to speeding bullets. Orochimaru dodged both as they flew at him, but found himself caught off gaurd by the next barrage of boulders. Narrowly managing to dodge them he lost sight of what he was focusing on, and as the rocks closed in, he missed something important. Tsunade had hurled one of the rocks, with Jiraiya hiding under it. As the boulder passed Orochimaru, Jiraiya kicked himself from it and slammed his fist into his former teammate's back, making him bend like a backwards "C", then without even planning out what to do next, he slammed his palm down into Orochimaru's face, bashing him through the rock he stood on. As the pieces scattered Jiraiya flipped back into the air and smiled as Tsunade appeared under him, with her leg extended. There was no hope of avoiding it, Orochimaru could only block the woman's foot, but even that was impossible. As her leg bashed into his face, he found himself being launched down through seven stones before hitting the ground like a shooting star, but something lingered up with the other two, something long. Orochimaru's tongue latched onto Jiraiya's neck and threatened to pulled him down, a fall he would not survive. Tsunade gripped tightly onto it and tugged, pulling the fallen man back into the sky with her.
Jiraiya: Thanks.
Tsunade: Don't mention it.
She said as she pulled Orochimaru to her, but the second he reached in front of her his cloak lashed out and slammed into her, knocking her grip loose, yet the force she used when pulling him sent him soaring into the air, while still attached to Jiraiya's throat. With a grin of satisfaction, he lifted his old teammate into the air and spun him in a complete circle before slamming him into Tsunade, knocking both through the many stones behind them. Even as they landed, they could tell that Orochimaru wasn't done, something else was coming, and as their gaze went up six flashes lit up the sky and above them was Orochimaru draped in a nine tailed coat and with a mighy roar, he snt his aura crashing down into the stone's and the two genin, in what should have killed them, but the second that the flash happened, he revert and casted a gaze filled with confusion down to the scattered asteriod field. JJ stood there, draped in his Kaiser form, holding both unharmed sannin in his arms, but soon after another form of JJ's warrior form slammed down into Orochimaru's face from above. Then the dragon form rushed at him from below and slammed it's fist into the snake sannin's face, knocking him roughly into the ground.
Dingo: Call back your summons.
He said as he grabbed Jiraiya and Tsunade from the image of JJ's dragons.
Jiraiya: How is he-
Dingo: Image projection, he's using the aura clone jutsu. I'll wager that he's ready to use his technique. Call back your summons.
Like they had been asked, both sennin canceled out their summoned familiars as he carried them from the battlefeild, then after dropping them he turned back to the pale skinned sannin with a smile.
Dingo: Now it's time for me to set everything up.
He said cracking his knuckles, and with a satisfying crunch, he slammed his fist into the ground, summoning a wave of black chakra that came rushed into the sky in an arc, slamming into the airbourne Orochimaru, as the man screamed in pain, Dingo slammed his fist once more and then axe handled the ground, creating a wall of black chakra.
Dingo: All yours, whelp!
After relaying his message, he vanished from sight and then JJ slammed his hand together.
JJ: Hanabi!
Hanabi: Right!
She shouted as she leaned forward on the ground and locked her eyes to the snake sannin.
Hanabi: Eight trigrams! Hikari-Hanabi!
Light crackled from the girl's hands and shot out into the wall of black chakra. Eight lights held around Orochimaru's body and started to slowly shine.
Hanabi: It's taking everything I have to delay the explosion, Hurry up Norugi-niisan!
JJ: You got it!
He said as he pushed forward his final seal. The three dragon images he had created flew into the air, dragging the black chakra into the sky with them.
JJ: Ninpo: Dragon black eclipse!
At his shout the dragons fllew into the black wall and exploded and the black flame fell to the ground at an alarming rate, but inside it, the balls of light began to detonate one by one, flashing inside the illuminous ball. The contradiction of elements inside the dark light caused a clash of power inside the ball, but all of the result became a more painful experience for the person sealed inside. Then without warning, all dragons pulled from the sphere and opened their mouths, blasting a powerful wave of power onto Orochimaru. Yet when the sphere opening, he noticed that something wasn't right, though Orochimaru was greatly injured, he was still alive, because someone had sheilded him.
Kabuto: It's good that I decided to come back.
He said with his body smoking, stinking of melting flesh that slowly began to recover as if he weren't human.
Kabuto: That was entertaining Norugi, do you have another assassin jutsu? We've already survived two.
He said with a smile.
JJ: How the hell did he survive?
It was only then that he noticed something.
JJ: Insuru?
Kabuto: Oh, you're smarter than you look.
He said dropping into his true form.
Insuru: Kabuto came back to tell us that negotiations had broken down, and I didn't maybe it was time that I stepped in for him. You don't mind do you?
Orochimaru: No, it seems I don't have anymore time to waste.
JJ moved from his secure hiding spot and moved into battle mode, ready to fight to his death, but at the moment his strength was waining. He prepared for battle, but at the moment, something caught his attention, and everyone else's.
(Flash: During the aerial fight)
Naruto had been fighting with everything he had, but the new technique Chronos had rolled out was different, yet easy to counter, all he had to do was concentrate. With a body covered in wounds, boldly displaying his failed attempts to stop the fallen angel's attack. As another of the wormholes opened in front of him he attempted once again, but realized he had missed his chance, instead he settled with dodging back. Hinata had just finished fighting Kabuto and tried to assist Naruto but he simply answered.
(Naruto: What good is a man who can't defend the honor of the woman he loves!?)
With only those words, he brought to a halt, but even with the sounds of the giant beasts fighting behind him, he had to focus on the boy slowly ripping him to shreds. It wasn't hard, he just needed to time it right, and another chance was coming. As Chronos' blade appeared from another wormhole Naruto's eyes snapped open, ready to attack. Naruto slammed his open palms on both sides of the blade, holding tightly to it, then with one tug, he pulled the white haired boy through, much to his displeasure. Naruto smiled as the boy appeared in front of him, and with a little slieght of hand, he quickly wrapped his hand onto Chronos' wrist, holding him in place.
Naruto: Break free now!
He shouted as he slammed his fist into the boy's face, crushing his jaw as he furiously struggled to break free. You see, Naruto had figured, that if the boy could move his hand through a hole in time/space, then he could move other objects, as well as himself, through to the other side as well, that meant, if Naruto could grab him, he would be able to bring the boy to him rather than running across the feild into another fight. In that same breath, as long as Naruto had a tight grip on the boy, he wouldn't be able to stop time, and even if he did, it would take a large amount of effort to break free of his grasp. Chronos had been trapped, and now, Naruto could wail on him all he wanted and the boy would be forced to fight him on equal ground. Chronos clicked his teeth, cursing the blonde boy's quick thinking and without waiting for the next attack he materialized a sword over his left hand, slashing for Naruto left, the one holding him. However, before he could sever the boy's arm Naruto lifted his sword up to stop him. With eyes now burning red and holding his complete sword, he slammed it into Chronos' stomach twice and slammed his hilt into the boy's face. Then while still holding his hand, Naruto rolled under his arm and slammed his elbow into Chrono's back.
Naruto: I'm not done yet!
He shouted as he released the boy's arm and quickly grabbed around his neck from behind and kneed into his back three times before pulling back his right hand.
Naruto: Rasengan!
He shouted as a sphere of swirling chakra appeared in his open palm, then without warning he slammed it into his back, sending the fallen angel sliding across the ground on his head. Covered in blood, the boy stopped himself, gazing at the slowly healing wounds Naruto had inflicted on him.
Chronos: Damn you.
He said losing his ever cool visage. With a single push, he threw his arm into another wormhole, almost reaching Naruto, but once again, Naruto managed to grab onto him. With a quick spin, Naruto forced his weight onto the top of the boy's arm and kicked into the wormhole, making the his fist crash into Chronos' face, and pulling himself to the other side. Naruto smiled and twisted his body upward, before pulling back down, slashing down across Chronos' chest. As Naruto landed he turned into a kick that slammed into Chrono's face, sending him sliding back across the ground again, except this time, something was waiting on him, two water dragons slammed into the boy's body and froze in place, inside the boy's chest. Naruto charged forward and jumped between both icicles and kicked both sides, knocking both away at the same time, ripping through the boy's body, forcing a terrifying scream from him. As both icicles moved from the boy's body, he gazed at them in wonder, that shouldn't have hurt him, so why did it. Chronos slowly stood to his feet and gazed at Naruto in wonder and amusement.
Chronos: I'm really enjoying this.
He said as he cleared his face and wiped the blood from his lips as he watched on at his red eyed opponent. Naruto was winning, and that was a thrilling thought to the boy, he had never been bested before, no one had ever survived long enough to even figure that he could stop time, yet Naruto stopped his attacks one by one, and countered him.
Chronos: I'm done with tricks.
He said as he walked forward, forming both of his arms into blades, no more stopping time, no more spactial distortions. He wanted to fight this boy with everything he had. With a step he was in front of Naruto, swinging down at the boy, yet his hit missed as Naruto ducked down to the ground and spun body, slashing after the boy who just blocked it with his own blade.
Chronos: I've waited so long for someone as strong as you!
He shouted as he collided his weapons with Naruto's, filling the area with the sound of clashing metal, overlaping anything else that could be heard.
Naruto: Well, I'm tired of bumping into people like you!
He shouted back as he deflected the boy's blade. Naruto pulled his sword to the side and changed it back into the basic form of chakra, then quickly changed it to a massive hammer. With a smooth swing, he slammed the hammer into Chronos' side, shattering his ribs into dust. As the boy rolled to the ground he stopped himself, feeling his body returning to normal. Naruto smiled on, confident that he was holding all of the cards in this fight, but a wet sensation on his shoulder brought his attention to something. He had been slashed several times along his body with him noticing it. Suddenly the pain on his body became known and he fell to his knees.
Chronos: Suprised? My blades are not unlike the ability of the Hyuuga clan. It sends forth a shockwave that blasts forth after being swung, so I don't need to hit you to do damage. Oh, but feel free to keep deflecting my attacks.
One moment, one single thought wash over the boy, leading him to a single decision. Naruto closed his eyes and thought back to the words of his older teammate.
Naruto: Something I mastered.
He thought to himself as he watched the white haired boy draw closer.
Naruto: It was that simple huh?
He asked to himself, rrasing to his feet with a smile.
Naruto: Shadow clone jutsu.
Naruto's hand barely made a sign, yet four clones appeared to his side. Each clone spread out as two more appeared at Naruto's side, giving his the advantage he needed to pull off what he was going to try. Both clones hovered their hands over Naruto's palm and weaved together a powerful rasengan, then with only a single look over to Chrono's, they all vanished, when the boy finally realized what had happened, Naruto was standing behind, holding the giant rasengan in his hand, thrusting it into the boy's back.
Naruto: Shadow step rasengan!!!!
He shouted as the blackish blue orb twisted the boy's insides, yet Naruto quickly pulled back as more clones charged at Chronos, each holding another rasengan, dragging it through the kage-hochou as if they had been doing it their entire life. Twenty times, and counting, every second that the boy could breathe, another rasengan was being slammed into his body as he screamed to the heavens in pain.
Naruto: Naruto!
He shouted as he formed a rasengan in his palm and smiled as his clones summoned a wind, fire, and water style ninjutsu into his sphere. Then without fail, Naruto teleported into the sky, 50 feet high and dragged down his Rasengan as it grew with every second, never letting up on his unrelenting Rasengan assualt. Naruto dropped down on the boy, weilding his red and black tinted spectrum rasengan, and slammed it into Chronos' body with the shout.
Naruto: Uzumaki: Echo Rondo!!!!!!
Chronos' screamed pierced the ears of all who heard it, gaining the gaze from everyone still present in the area, bringing the fight to a temporary end. The sound following the scream was something far more shocking, the sound of something piercing flesh and bone. Naruto coughed blood as five needles of ice pierced his body, then retracted.
Naruto: Wha?
He said gazing at the boy's destroyed body, smiling back at him, puking fountains of blood.
Chronos: I've never been to this point before.
He said as his eyes wavered, then in one movement, he killed the needles stabbing Naruto, allowing the boy to hit the ground.
Chronos: I'm dying.
He said as he stood to his feet losing deadly amounts of blood.
Chronos: I applaud you, however, I'm afraid I don't plan on dying today, so I'll withdraw, but in appreciation for this show you've given me, I'll tell you something.
He said as he stood over Naruto who gazed back up at the broken boy.
Chronos: My real name is Zikan Touketsu. And I hereby promise that I will never again attack anyone you care for. I will never attack your village, your friends or your woman, ever again. Because I only want to kill you.
He said with a sick smile.
Chronos: I annul my pact with Orochimaru, I will never hurt anything again, until I have the pleasure of killing you, do you understand? You have just made me your enemy.
Each time the boy spoke his mouth erupted with blood, staining the grass below. Without paying heed to the boy's words, Naruto smiled.
Naruto: Come at me anytime you want, whatever time you decide that you feel like dying, I'll be more than happy to send you on your way.
Chronos: We'll see.
He said down to the boy as Tsunade ran past him, not once giving a look to the young white haired boy. With panic in her eyes, Tsunade dropped in front of Naruto as JJ guarded both from the onlookers behind them.
Naruto: Baa-chan?
Tsunade: Don't talk.
She told the boy as she began healing his wounds, shaking the whole while. Chronos slowly walked past Orochimaru and Insuru as they moved in for the kill, but before they could, a large wall of ice appeared in front of them, seperating them from Naruto, Jiraiya stared in wonder as Chronos smiled.
Chronos: Leave this, nobody likes a sore loser Orochimaru. Pull back or else.
He said as he walked away, millions of icicles slowly appeared before him and the powerful snake demon.
Chronos: I will probably die if I use this, but you won't survive either.
He said with a smile, forcing the two to hold their positions.
Orochimaru: Tsunade, will you not reconsider?
He asked with a look of displeasure on his face to the woman whose back faced him. Without returning words, she removed her necklace and placed it on Naruto's neck.
Tsunade: I refuse, after all, I plan to live out the rest of my days as the leaf village's fifth hokage.
She replied as she finally turned back to the man behind the wall of ice. Chronos left the feild, going his own way from where his former partner was going to no doubt be headed.
Orochimaru: A foolish choice.
Tsunade: I'd rather be a fool, than be a monster like you.
She said to the man as he turned away.
Orochimaru: You will regret this decision.
Orochimaru began his walk away from the feild, but stopped breifly after hearing the words.
Tsunade: I will never regret this decision.
After a short pause Orochimaru peaked back to her and said only two words.
Orochimaru: We'll see.
And with that said, he vanished, leaving only the heroes behind in the massive plain.
Hinata: Well he be alright?
Tsunade: Yes, he just needs to rest, then he'll be good as new.
She replied with a smile as Jiraiya folded his arms at her side.
Jiraiya: Guess you lost your bet Tsunade.
Tsunade: Yeah....but I feel good about this loss.
She said as she rubbed Naruto's hair from his face.
Kagura: So, what now Tsunade-sama?
Tsunade:.......We go home.
She said with a wide smile on her face.
Shizune: It's about time.
She said starting at her teacher's side as JJ pulled Naruto onto his back and walked off, heading for somewhere to sleep off the day's fatigue.
(Flash)
Yubiki cursed her own efficiency. When she was doing the work, the things that had been said to her didn't seem to plague her mind, but she had finished her paperwork, she had nothing to do, but think, and the more she did, the more her own hurt began to surface. Rain had been falling for what felt like forever, and her mind had been racing for so long that she never noticed that she was walking outside in it.
Yubiki: How far gone am I?
She asked herself as she continued her stride, yet she wanted more than anything to forget, but she couldn't. Eventually she found herself in front of a door, the only one that had a familiar enough smell. She reached out and tried to knock, but then recended her hand. At exactly that moment, as if feeling the beckoning outside, the person opened the door. Yubiki stared in shock, not wanting to say anything, Iruka stared in embarrassment.
Yubiki: Were you leaving?
She asked as she cast her eyes to the side.
Iruka: No, I could have sworn I heard Naruto tell me to open the door.
He said as he looked down, blushing deep red as he did.
Iruka: You're soaked.
Yubiki: I noticed.
She said with a chuckle.
Iruka: Do you want to come in?
Yubiki: Don't mind if I do.
She said walking in as if she didn't need his invitation. After drying herself, Yubiki sat at Iruka's table, sipping tea as he stared at her from his bed.
(Iruka: Why can't I calm down?)
He thought as he nervously rubbed his knees.
(Iruka: No, I can't just assume things are going to turn out like that, if she knew what I was hoping for she'd kill me. Then again.)
He thought working his gaze to her.
(Iruka: After what happened, how can I even think that?)
He said inwardly scolding himself. When he focused back in on Yubiki he noticed that she was starting to blush.
Iruka: Yubiki-san?
He said as he stood to his feet, then he realized, she wasn't drinking tea anymore.
(Iruka: She found my sake.)
He thought as he walked over to her.
Iruka: Yubiki-san?
Yubiki: What kind of host are you? You should've offered this stuff in the first place!
She shouted to him, suddenly standing from her seat. Then she quickly sat back down and sighed.
Yubiki: You're a jerk. All men are jerks. Even Naruto's gonna be a jerk someday.
She said as she sat back down. Iruka stared at her and reached for her shoulder, but before he could reach she turned to him.
Yubiki: What're you waiting for? Sit down and drink with me.
Iruka: I don't think I should.
Yubiki: Yeah, what? You think you're better'n me?
She asked, leaking red chakra as she did. Iruka backed up slightly and waved his hands.
Iruka: No I wasn't saying that.
Yubiki noticed the fearful reaction from the man and she killed her aura before sitting back down with her head facing the table.
Yubiki: I'm a bad person.
She said, obviously being influence by the sake.
Yubiki: I...I'm a bad person.
Iruka: What makes you say that?
Yubiki: I killed my brothers.
Yubiki sunk down lower, speaking in a choked voice.
Yubiki: I killed my father. I deserved what happened.
Iruka: Yubiki?
Yubiki: I'm supposed to be a demon, so why does it hurt so much?
She asked, noticably crying.
Yubiki: Why, does it hurt?
Iruka: No matter what you are, something like that will hurt. He broke your heart, used you, and tore your son away from you. That's not something that can be turned away from so easily.
Yubiki: Why didn't I notice! I'm such an idiot, I-
Iruka: It's not you fault.
Yubiki: What do you know!
She shouted, throwing the glass she held past Iruka's head, somehow managing to create a hole in the wall with simple glass. Even with knowing that, Iruka never moved, he didn't even flinch.
Iruka: Is that how you feel? You're going to wallow in self-pity like some kind of child?
Yubiki: Shut up!
Iruka: Then get out of my house. You have the nerve to come here and throw the blame on yourself because you were hurt by someone else. What he did wasn't your fault, and if that's how you want to deal with it, do it somewhere else.
Quite taken aback by his words, Yubiki stood to her feet and looked dead into his eyes.
Yubiki: What should I do?
Iruka: Move on, and rebuild. Like this village has done, like I have done.
Yubiki: How?
Iruka: One day at a time I guess. If you let yourself hurt, he wins.
Yubiki: I know, but Neko was all I had.
She said walking closer making Iruka's heartbeat rise.
Yubiki: Why did he have to take him, if he wanted power, why not take mine?
She asked in between sobs as she laid her head in Iruka's chest.
Yubiki: I-I can't.....
Iruka looked down at Yubiki and softly gazed at her trembling shoulders, then he raised his arms, reaching for her. That was all it took to remind Yubiki of herself. With the realization she slowly backed away from Iruka and looked down.
Yubiki: I'm sorry, I don't even know why I came here.
She said wiping her eyes, and turning around. Iruka watched Yubiki turn and something struck him like a lightning bolt, causing him to realize something.
(Music que: Can you stand the rain, by Boyz 2 men)
Yubiki stopped, not because she wanted to, but something warm had wrapped around her, tightly grasping her from behind. The room became deathly silent, only the sound of rain pounding down on the house could be heard.
Yubiki: Iruka?
Iruka: You're just a woman.
Yubiki: What?
She asked with a blush. Yubiki's tears, her pain, it made him wonder, what was the big difference between humans and demons. She cries when she hurt, explodes when she's mad There was no difference. As he thought that for a while he just held her in his arms, enjoying her warmth.
Iruka: I always thought that when I saw the Kyuubi, I'd want to kill it. But, right now, I want nothing more to see you smile.
Yubiki: What are saying to me?
Iruka: When you're hurt, when I saw you cry, it was the most painful thing I'd ever seen.
He said holding her tighter.
Iruka: I've never been very good at this, and I've never been able to say this to anyone.
Yubiki: Shut up Iruka.
She said as more tears flowed down her face.
Iruka: I want to protect you from people like him, even if I know I can never be as strong as you, or him. I'd rather die than see you cry again.
Yubiki: If you don't shut up, I'll kill you.
Iruka: I'd gladly die at your hands, telling you this is worth it.
Yubiki looked down and closed her eyes.
Iruka: I love you Yubiki no youko.
Yubiki's eyes opened slightly and she looked away from him.
Iruka: I've always loved you, ever since I was a kid. I've never been able to love another woman, because I've only wanted you, I rated every woman I saw at an unreachable level that I held you.
Yubiki: But, I killed your parents, I....
Iruka:...........I forgive you.
Yubiki's eyes flew wide, even if everyone had accepted her, they never told her those words. It would have been a lie, the villagers forgot, but didn't forgive what she had done, or maybe they did and never said it.
Yubiki: Please don't say that to me.
Iruka: I understand, and I forgive you, my beautiful kitsune.
He said as he leaned his head on her back.
Iruka: No matter what you say, or what you did in the past. I will love you forever, until the day I pass.
Yubiki: Please stop.
Iruka: I want to be with you.
Yubiki looked down as tears flowed down her face.
Yubiki: I'm sorry-
She said reaching for his arm.
Yubiki: I didn't mean to kill them.
Iruka's eyes opened wide and Yubiki pulled free his grip before rushing out into the village streets, letting the cold rain sting her face. Iruka stood in shock. Yubiki said she would never apologize for that, no matter what. His love grew, the woman he saw was getting away, and even though he knew it wasn't true, he felt like if he let her get away, he'd lose her forever. With that thought, he grabbed a small backpack and ran out into the streets, forgetting to close the door behind him, he ran with everything he had. Once he reached the gates Genma and Naki smiled at him before pointing their heads in the direction Yubiki had fled. Without even a second to think, he set off after her.
(Flash)
It had only been a minute, but the flustered demon had managed to make her way deep into the forest, where no one would be able to catch up to her, or at least that's what she had hoped. Alone she sat, gazing into the sky, letting her mind wonder to the memory of what had happened earlier.
Yubiki: He said he loved me.
She thought as she buried her face in her arms, hoping that she could rid her mind of the man's kind words, but that's what she needed, it made her happy. Though it shouldn't have, her heart leapt when he held her.
Yubiki: Why? Why didn't I push him away?
Iruka: A better question is, why did you run?
Yubiki stiffened at his voice, how did he get there so fast?
Iruka: I'm guessing that you're really not on your game today. You didn't go very far you know.
Yubiki: But I must have-
Iruka: No, I was here for a while, you were running around in circles.
He said bringing up an image in his head of silently laughing at her as Yubiki blushed and turned away.
Yubiki: Man, I must be more gone than I thought.
She said holding her head.
Iruka: No, you seem pretty close to me.
Iruka's feet moved him, even through the pouring rain.
Iruka: I'm glad I didn't have to run farther.
He said with a smile as he reached for the woman's hand. Yubiki looked down at the extended hand with blood rushing to her face.
Yubiki: You're going to catch a cold out here.
Iruka: So will you.
Yubiki: I don't get colds.
Iruka: Sure you don't, then I don't either.
Iruka moved his hand down and placed it on the rock at Yubiki's side. Without waiting for her reaction, he lifted himself next to her and smiled at the rain pounding his face.
Iruka: You know, I always liked rainy days.
Yubiki: I did too a long time ago. But not anymore.
Iruka: Why is that?
Yubiki: I met him on a rainy day. I......You know what, screw him.
She said leaning back.
Yubiki: You're right, why should I be the only one crying? Next time I see him, I'll make him pay fo what he did, but I won't give him the satisfaction of thinking he beat me.....or you either.
Iruka chuckled at Yubiki's sudden declaration.
Yubiki: You think just because you said nice words, I'll be puddy in your hands.
Iruka: Are you still drunk?
Yubiki: Nope, the rain cleared that right up, and don't change the subject you buttmunch.
Iruka: Heheheh.
Yubiki sighed and then slowly joined Iruka in laughter as she laid back on the stone.
Iruka: You know, I've always wanted to do this.
He said as he closed his eyes, beckoning the attention of his companion.
Yubiki: Do what?
Iruka: This.
He said as he leaned over, locking his lips onto Yubiki's, much to her surprise. Iruka expected to die after what he had done, but all he recieved was a soft moan under him. When he pulled back Yubiki's eyes locked onto his and gazed on in deep emotion as her breath escaped her lips, softly carressing Iruka's cheek.
Iruka: I love you Yubiki. Do you feel the same?
Yubiki: Well, I feel comfortable enough with you.
She said casting her gaze to the side. Iruka chuckled, never removing his eyes from her.
Iruka: I have no idea what that means.
Yubiki: Neither do I.
She said chuckling back, then through closed eyes she responded.
Yubiki: I don't know if I know what love is anymore, but I don't hate you.
She said looking away once again.
Iruka: I'm not getting a better answer than that am I?
Yubiki: I wouldn't hold my breath.
Iruka: I can accept that.
He said as he leaned back down, softly kissing the lips of the woman he had long since loved. This time however, it wasn't a forced kiss, she openly accepted it, and returned it in kind. Time stopped, the world around them froze and nothing else mattered. The world only needed them, or at least, that's the way it felt. Iruka savored the moment, each kiss like tasting the sweetest fruit that ever existed. Pulling back, Iruka thought a mile a second. He was so tempted to go further, but this wasn't a normal woman he was dealing with, if she didn't want to, "no means no", would be more than a phrase, it'd be ecthed on his tombstone. Instead he took slow steps, trying to feel for what might happen next, slowly moving his lips to her cheeks, and then down to her neck, gently nipping on her collarbone, gaining a soft moan for his efforts.
Iruka: You're pretty passive right now, I always figured you as the aggressive type.
Yubiki: Shut up.
She said softly under the gentle sensation. Even in the cold rain, her body was burning hot, barely even aware that Iruka was slowly unzipping her soaked shirt.
Yubiki: Wait.
She called down to Iruka as he silently cursed under his breath.
(Iruka: She caught me.)
Iruka slowly lifted his head, gazing at the hot breath coming from the woman looking down at him.
Yubiki: Um...
Yubiki slowly sat up an reached to the back of her head, pulling free the tie holding her into a ponytail, allowing it to fall free down her back as she blushingly gazed at Iruka.
Yubiki: You had this planned from the start didn't you?
Iruka: No, it just kind of turned out this way somewhere down the road.
He said with a small smile as he crawled closer the woman, lovingly combing his hand through her beautiful fiery red hair until he reached the black tips a the bottom. If he were to compare her hair to anything, it was more like fur than hair, it's soft texture felt like rubbing a mink coat. With eyes that saw nothing more than passion, Iruka once again moved in for the woman's lips, this time, never once hiding his attempt to undress her, yet she accepted. Realizing that she wouldn't resist Iruka wormed his hand into her shirt, gently carressing her body as she did the same to him. Even as the rain fell, nothing could ease the feeling they had at that moment. Iruka's hand moved down, so did his lips, he was no longer going to relent, he wanted something, and he going to get it, nothing was going to stop him, even the powerful woman he was now embracing.
Iruka: I'm goin' for it.
Yubiki: Huh?
No time was given for resistance, he quickly placing his lips over her mound as his hand reached down to her lower lips, smoothly stroking as if to stiffle any resistance she could put up. All he recieved instead was a loud moan of shock from her as she gripped onto the back of his head.
Yubiki: Ah, Mmm, d-don't. Stop.
Her words were insincere, Iruka knew that, afterall, this was a demon leagues stronger than anything he could handle. No matter what he was doing, she would have been able to stop him, with very little effort. Hell, all it would have taken was the right amount of force with her finger and he wouldn't been sent flying all the way back into the village. She wanted him, and he was going to give her everything she wanted.
Iruka: You're body's honest.
He said as he continued stroking her slit, lovingly licking her breats as her breath became ragged and heavy.
Yubiki: S-shut up.
Yubiki's blush grew wider and she leaned against Iruka's shoulder moaning softly as he continued on, gently stroking her clit with his thumb as his fingers entered her, slowly pushing as his lover moaned sweetly from his skillful hands.
Iruka: Yubiki....
He called out passionately as he moved his head to her face, locking his lips on hers once again.
Iruka: I can't wait anymore.
He said as he furiously removed his clothes and leaned over the woman he loved.
Iruka: Is this okay?
Yubiki:......Yeah.
She said gazing into his eyes as he lined up his manhood to her slit, closing his lips on hers as he gave his first thrust. Yubiki moaned softly at the sensation as the man above her pushed in, slowly, as if he were dealing with someone of less experience, yet, it felt nice. Her eyes closed, blindly enjoying the man's slow thrusts forward, gripping tightly onto her, breathing heavy as if trying to enhale everything that she was, yet suddenly he stopped. Yubiki paused and gazed up at him, before her faced was overcome with shock, looking at his goofy twisted face. Iruka groaned as his body shivered and he collapsed onto her chest, struggling to breathe.
Yubiki: ............You didn't.
Iruka: Sorry, it just felt too good.
Yubiki: That was the ugliest orgasm face I have ever seen.
Iruka: Sorry.
Yubiki: Is that it?
She asked with disappointment written on her face.
Iruka: Of course not.
He replied as he sat up, giving another solid thrust, this time he was harder than before, as if in giving in, he had found his ground. This time, he had more spirit, pushing in as lewd sounds echoed in the rain. Leaning back down Iruka reached under Yubiki's body and wrapped his arms around her as he lifted her for more leverage, thrusting with everything he had, making Yubiki's moans form into screams. As her eyes shot open she gazed down at the man holding her and growled, pushing him down.
Yubiki: I'm taking charge after all.
She said as she began moving with all her strength.
Yubiki: I'm the dominant one here.
This time Iruka was the one moaning, Yubiki had switched their roles, grinding on him in short thrusts as her breath pushed from her lips. Iruka could do little more than enjoy the feeling, as she placed both hands on his chest and bucked on top of his as if riding a bull.
Yubiki: Mmm, uh, ah, deeper.
Iruka reached up to Yubiki's hips and pulled her down, reaching into her deepest part, as she moaned loudly above him.
Iruka: Now.
He said as he rolled her over, desperately trying to gain the top once again, but Yubiki caught him before he could, unfortunately this turn knocked both from the slab of stone into the wet grass below. Both looked at each other, and chuckled before once again locking their lips in a passionate embrace. Iruka's arms wrapped around Yubiki and he lifted her up before leaning her back against a tree, forcing all of his power into each thrust. Yubiki's hands flew back and latched onto the tree as she bit her lower lip muffling her own voice as if something would hear her. Arching her back Yubiki accepted everything Iruka could give as he pumped through the final strech.
Iruka: I'm gonna-
Yubiki: Mmm, G-go ahead.
She told him between moans as Iruka hastened his movements as he moved for the final push as he came. Yubiki's control over her moans loosened and she screamed into the sky as her grip snapped the tree behind her and her body trembled. Iruka held onto Yubiki's back and pulled her to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Even though his arms and lips felt like wet noodles Iruka carried the woman back to the rock as before he collapsed down beside her. Pulling a sheet from the backpack he carried with him when he left the village, he covered himself and Yubiki as the rain finally died down. Holding her in his arms with a smile, Iruka slipped in a blissful slumber.
(Flash)
All of our heroes had waited half a day for Naruto to wake up. Once he did the group decided to visit the restaurant once again before setting out for the leaf village once again. And just like before, excluding the druken girls, it was just as chaotic.
JJ: Man, Tonton looks good right now, it's been a while since I've had live food.
Tonton stiffened as the boy said that and turned to the young dragon boy as he licked his lips.
Tonton: Phee!!!!
She shouted as she ran into Shizune's arms as she glared at the boy.
Shizune: What wrong with you, there's food on the table!
JJ: Yeah, but I don't eat pork. I don't like the taste, and it's bad for you, so I'll just settle for Tonton instead.
He said as he teeth became jagged, smiling down at the small piglet in Shizune's arms.
Shizune: That entire statement was contradictory.
JJ: Pork and pig are two different things.
Kagura: How exactly.
JJ: One 's living.
He said as his smile grew more menacingly.
Mika: What about that Barbecue contest you had with Choji?
JJ: All beef.
He said with a smile as Tonton shivered.
JJ: Sorry, I won't joke like that anymore. I won't talk about those delicous looking pork chops you have, and how scrumsious those ribs of yours most be.
He said once again licking his lips as Tonton scurried again.
Kagura: You're enjoying yourself aren't you?
JJ: Hey, humans are food to me too, don't push me too far.
He said with a smiled as both women sweatdropped. Naruto sighed as he looked over to his older friend, unconciously reaching for the last piece of meat. However, when he did this, the chopsticks collided with someone else's. Tsunade gazed at him from across the table and he gazed back before both threw a stern glare at one another. With that look, the chopstick fight began, a vicous struggle for the last piece of meat. Jiraiya laughed heartily at the display as the two girls at Naruto's side smiled uncomfortably.
Tsunade: Chance.
She said as Naruto left an opening. With a flick of her wrist she hurled her chopsticks at him and Naruto quickly caught them, but at that exact moment Tsunade was holding the last piece of meat over her mouth, and with a taunting smile, she dropped it. Wearing that same arrogant smile, Tsunade slowly chewed it in front of Naruto as he quickly boiled over. Unable to watch any longer Naruto stood to his feet and shouted.
Naruto: You wanna take this outside old lady.
Tsunade: I thought you'd never ask.
She said standing up with him.
Kagura: Lady Tsunade, you're acting like a child.
Shizune: I agree.
They both said with tired looks, never once gaining the attention of their teacher.
Tsunade: Let's go Gaki.
Naruto: Don't blame me when you lose.
He said as he walked out into the street as the older woman followed, leading the others to follow them. Naruto kicked his foot against the ground and leapt into the air, forming a rasengan on the moment he reached the outside.
Naruto: Kage-hochou!
He shouted as he vanished from sight, reappearing at the side of the woman who carefully watched his every step, each time he warped away from her, she locked right on to him and moved her body in that direction. Using that, Naruto formed a pattern, making her believe that he was desperately trying to gain her back, and with each kage-hochou he succeed with the rasengan in his hand grew larger. Naruto chuckled as he finally dropped his facade and warpped right in front of Tsunade.
Naruto: Shadow step rasengan!
Naruto's right hand thrust forward, but much to his suprise, Tsunade shot forth her finger, no protection, no tricks, just her single index finger. Realizing this, Naruto clentched his fist, crushing the rasengan and despersing it into the air.
Tsunade: Just like I thought, you're too soft!
She said as she flicked the headband from his forehead., sending it flying into the air. Naruto cursed at his own carelessness and prepared for the envitable blow that would come with it. However, all that came after was a gently kiss on his forehead, forcing a blush to the boy's cheeks.
Tsunade: Good luck, and always give your best, I'll be waiting for you to take the hokage seat from me someday, Naruto.
Naruto stared up in embarrassment before flashing a foxy smile to the blonde sannin in front of him.
Naruto: I guarantee it Tsunade-sama.
Tsunade smiled back, realizing this would probably be the only time when the boy would ever refer to her formally. As both smiled at one another, Naruto's arms were tugged back against his will, and there at his side were Hinata and Hanabi, angerily glaring at Tsunade as they held onto the boy. Tsunade stepped back slightly and gave the girls an amused smile.
Tsunade: Don't worry, I'm not trying to steal him from you, just giving him a little encouragement.
Kagura: Looks like things are going to be a lot more lively from now on.
Shizune: Seems that way.
They both said smiling on at the bright smile gracing Tsunade's face. It had been a long time, since she seemed that at peace with herself.
(Flash)
The had started to rise into the sky, sending a beautiful flourescent orange through the world beneath it. Iruka's eyes slowly opened, gazing at the woman lying in his arms with love.
Yubiki: About time you woke up.
Iruka jumped as her words shot at him, the realization of what happened the night before.
Iruka: How long were you up?
Yubiki: For a while, I'm a morning person.
Yubiki's eyes turned to the sky, reflecting on the events that had transpired.
Iruka: If you were awake, why didn't you get me up?
Yubiki: You were holding onto me pretty tight, I just figured you were a cuddler, so I stayed here.
Iruka: Were you uncomfortable?
Yubiki: No, but it was boring.
She said closing her her eyes.
Iruka: Yubiki, will you marry me?
Yubiki: Eh!!!!????
She shouted urbruptly sitting up.
Yubiki: What the hell did you just ask me?
Iruka: I'm serious.
Yubiki: Wha?
She said as her excitement slowly died down, then she looked away, before replying.
Yubiki: You know I can't say yes to that.
Iruka: Why?
Yubiki: I think it'd be a bad idea, beside, we have vastly different lifespans.
Iruka: I know, then think about.
Yubiki: Even if I did, it wouldn't be anytime soon.
She said dropping her head in disbelief.
Iruka: Even still, I never imagined that my first time would be so wonderful.
Yubiki: Uh, you were a virgin?
Iruka: Uh, yeah.
Yubiki: Pfftt.... Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Yubiki erupted into laughter at Iruka's side as he leapt up in confusion and embarrassment.
Iruka: What?
Yubiki: You said you never loved another woman, but I didn't know you meant you'd never been with one at all, no wonder.
Iruka: That's funny to you?
Yubiki: Not funny, just said, Hahahahahaha.
Iruka frownd and then formed a smile as he leaned to Yubiki's ear.
Iruka: Well, this virgin made you cum.
Yubiki immediately froze, a massive blush on her face. Yubiki quickly pulled back and looked around with swirling eyes before shouting.
Yubiki: I-I faked it, I didn't want you to feel bad!
Iruka: I may not have much experience, but I'm sure that when you snap an entire tree in half in sexual pleasure, that's an orgasm.
Yubiki blushed deeper and gazed at said tree.
Yubiki: That was already like that.
Iruka: You're being Tsundere again.
Yubiki: What the hell does that mean?
Iruka: Nothing, Yubiki, will you stay with me, I mean, will you go out with me?
Yubiki:....................What is this, high school?
Iruka: Look, I don't now how to put, asking you to be my girlfriend seems even more childish, so will you be my lover.
Yubiki:....If I'm bored enough.
She responded looking away from the man beside her. Iruka pulled her into an embrace and said silently into her ear.
Iruka: I love you.
Yubiki:......Yeah.
Was the only resonse he recieved. After a few minutes passed, they found themselves at the village gates, looking at both Genma and Naki, both of which were smiling at them knowingly. Why? Because Yubiki couldn't look them in the eye and Iruka was wearing a big, "I just got laid" smile. They didn't speak, but they could tell what had happened in that dark forest, after all, both Iruka and Yubiki had messed up hair, hastily thrown on clothes and dirt covering their bodies, it didn't take a genius to figure it out.
Yubiki: If either of you says a word, I'll kill you where you stand.
Genma: I didn't say anything, did you?
He said looking at Naki who shrugged his shoulders.
Naki: No, but I'm definitely thinking it strongly.
Yubiki: Don't even think that, nothing happened.
Genma: We believe you, don't we Naki?
Naki: My lips do, but my mind doesn't.
He said with an amused smile, pretty much asking for Yubiki to end his life. With a frown, she pushed passed them and quickly made her way to Naruto's apartment. She only had time to shower and change before Naruto had returned, smiling at the change in his mother's mood. Hinata's return home wasn't as bright, as Hiashi wasted no time noticing the blood soaked clothes she tried to get rid of. This was easily averted as Hinata told him what Naruto did to the boy, but was banned from leaving the village until he felt it neccessary. Hanabi happily returned to school with her friends, who were all staring at their widely smiling teacher.
Iruka: And that's how it's done.
He said finishing his lecture, until Yukari blurted out what everyone was thinking.
Yukari:.....Sensei, that smile is creepy as all hell.
Iruka: Well, I'm just that happy.
Hanabi stared at him for a second before she asked aloud.
Hanabi: Did you get laid?
Iruka froze and snapped his chalk, sweating like he had been thrown into a fire.
Iruka: Do you know what you just asked me?
Hanabi: No, but I know that when people get "laid" they're always happy.
Some of Hanabi's classmates started to blush, meaning that while she didn't know what it meant, some of the others did. Yukari tried to stop Hanabi from asking that question, but now there was nothing she could do about it and Nami held her fist up in front of her face as she stared on, curious to know what her Sensei would say.
Iruka: Maybe we should get back to the lecture.
He said turning back around as his students stared holes into his back.
Hanabi: ..........So you did?
Iruka snapped his chalk once again and turned back to his class.
Iruka: You know what, class is dismissed, go play outside or something.
It didn't take two seconds for the entire class to clear out. Iruka dropped his head with a sigh before walking down the long hallway into the light of day.
(Flash)
JJ: So how as it being hokage?
Yubiki: Pretty much what you'd expect, I'm just glad I get to go back to being just regular old me again.
She said as she stretched, bones cracking as she did so.
JJ: That doesn't sound good, did you sleep on a rock or something?
Yubiki: Uhhhhh.
She said shifting her eyes from side to side.
Naruto: Maybe you should've come with me, you could have always used the bed in my seal.
Iruka: Why are kids so smart nowadays?
He mumbled as he made his way up the street. Yubiki's feet stopped moving the second she saw him and Iruka's face brighten the second he saw her.
Iruka: Yubiki-san!
He shouted as he ran toward her, but the second he started moving for her, she took off in the opposite direction. Iruka stared at her and smiled on as he walked slowly after her.
JJ: Was she blushing?
Naruto: What was that about?
JJ stopped for a second and held his chin before he looked back up with a knowing smile.
JJ: I see.
Naruto: See what?
JJ: Nothing, weren't you supposed to be doing something?
Naruto: Oh, yeah. Hentai-jiichan told me to train in the forest with Gamabunta. See you later.
JJ: Yeah.
He said waving off as he ran his own way, then his face cleared
JJ: Now, I have to get miss runaway.
He said stuffing his hands in his pockets. It took a full ten minutes to gather everyone he was looking for, all standing in the hokage's office, waiting for him to begin what he had called them for. Hinata, Hanabi, Mika, Hiashi, Yubiki, Tsunade, Kagura, Claire, Shizune, and Jiraiya all stood staring at the boy in the middle of the room.
JJ: Let's begin with something simple first, when we were out, we ran into Orochimaru and Insuru. Two people we probably wouldn't have been able to handle on normal terms, but because of Orochimaru's lack of control over his entire body, that made him easier to handle. As of this moment, we have confirmed that Orochimaru isn't a threat. That being said, it is only matter of time before he can overcome the curse placed on him, that means if we must prepare for whatever happens, or find a way to off him before he can fix his little problem.
Tsunade: Impossible, the second he left it was like his presence disappeared.
JJ: I know, which means we can't take him out until he makes a move. However, because of the curse, he's desperate, meaning that at some point, he'll resurface, then we'll take him out. Then there's Zikan Touketsu or Chronos as we know him.
Yubiki: Zikan?
JJ: Yeah, from what I've heard, he's the son of the god of time and the goddess of ice. For some reason, Naruto was able to beat him before he could show off his true power, what he showed when he stopped Orochimaru. Zikan never went all out, because he underestimated Naruto, then he wound up not being able to at all because Naruto completely overtook him. Had he been going all out, Naruto probably still would've won.
He said folding his arms in a matter-of-factly way, causing everyone else to sweatdrop at his words.
JJ: Hey, it's a big brother's job to believe in his little brother. Even still, knowing that Naruto was unable to kill him means that he'll reappear somewhere down the road and create a problem. However, this problem has become Naruto's alone so we don't need to worry about that. Now on to what I gathered you all here for
Kagura: Don't tell me, it's something about the kid isn't it?
JJ: You guessed it. You see, every one of you are tightly tied to Naruto. Meaning that it's pivotal that you all know what I have to say. Jiraiya, can you begin?
Jiraiya: Gladly. Before I was told to head back to the giant plain everyone had decided to turn into a battle feild, I was out gathering information on the Akatsuki and what I found out was rather disturbing, yet confusing.
Hiashi: How so?
Jiraiya: They're trying to gain the powers of the bijuu, in order to do this, they need to gather the Jinchuuriki and extract the beasts from them by using a forbidden jutsu, however, using this will kill the person being exorcised.
Shizune: So they're power hungry, what's so confusing about that?
Jiraiya: They came after Naruto. And as we can all see, the Kyuubi is sitting right in front of us.
Hinata: Right, then they have no reason to pursue Naruto-kun.
Hanabi: Maybe they don't know that Yubiki-san is free.
Jiraiya: We're not dealing with amatuers here, they've no doubt done their research. They know Yubiki is free.
Tsunade: If that's their plan then they should be pursuing Yubiki right?
Yubiki: That would be a stupid and wasteful venture, no normal human, no matter their number can take me down so easily.
Hiashi: I see, using the method Orochimaru did with Neko, Naruto would be a sufficient substitute for Yubiki.
Jiraiya: That's what I thought too, until I spoke to Norugi about it, then we discovered something alarming.
Claire: That being?
Jiraiya closed his eyes and turned to JJ, the one who put the entire thing together.
JJ: Yubiki, is obsolete compared to Naruto.
Everyone except Jiraiya stared on in shock, confused beyond words.
Yubiki: What does that mean?
JJ: Naruto is known as the forbidden one, by all the transcendant beings. Even if a god and demon were to marry, no child can result from their union. Then there is the blood between that is needed.
Hanabi: The blood of a human?
JJ: Yes, in this way, a child with the blood of the gods and a demon can be born. Naruto is not the first case of this happening, but each time, the child has been purged from the world.
Hinata: They killed them?
JJ: In simpler words, yes.
JJ looked at the face filled with disapproval for that method, but nothing could be done about what happened in the past. Closing his eyes to them, JJ continued.
JJ: There are many reasons why Naruto wasn't purged like the others. After many years, the demon blood in the Uzumaki clan had died down. So there was nothing to worry about, but then there was Yubiki being sealed inside of him.
Yubiki: Killing Naruto, would've meant killing me.
JJ: That would be like asking for another war, Naruto couldn't be touched. And even then, his demon gene was reccessive at best.
Mika: Then he released her.
JJ: Yeah, and then that gene began to rapidly grow, making his demon blood more powerful. Freeing Yubiki would have made him open for attack, but something else happened.
Yubiki: He became my heir.
JJ: And so the problem returned. If the gods attacked Naruto at this point, that'd bring war from Yubiki's hand. Openly violating the treaty.
Hiashi: But this is something we already know.
JJ: Okay, then let me get to the point. Naruto once told me about the trees he planted in the room under the Hyuuga complex. How are those trees now?
Hiashi: They died when Naruto left.
JJ: My point being, Naruto kept those trees alive.
Hiashi: Yes.
JJ: That's impossible.
He said bringing the realization to everyone around him.
JJ: Even if chakra can heal or restore wounds or even bring those who have left us back to life. There is a need for life to already exist before hand. Trees are living things, they need water, soil, and sunlight to grew strong, yet this boy was able to use his chakra to substistute that. Naruto's unique chakra, can sustain life. Simply by using only his chakra he was able to make for the tree's lack of essential nutrients.
This revelation completely overtook all who listened, it was something they had never even heard of before.
JJ: He is something that has only been dreamed of before, a walking, breathing mystery. What we have gathered, is that Naruto is more valuable than Yubiki. If they are to gain Naruto and drain his chakra from him, Naruto will die, but something else will be born. Because of the human blood in his veins the being created will have a human vessel, but possess the strength of both sides. With their goal, do you know what that being would be?
Tsunade: The perfect Jinchuuriki.
JJ: Exactly, if they could control something of that magnitude, nothing would be able to stand against. Not the humans, the demons, or the gods. Everything in existence will be brought to their knees. I gathered you all here to learn this horrible truth, so that you all may know. Naruto, must not know of his destiny, yet even as he walks around blissfully unaware, Naruto Uzumaki holds the fate of the world on his shoulders.
Gamabunta swung down at Naruto who jumped out of the way and sneezed. That moment of distraction was all it took for Gamabunta to land a solid hit on him, knocking him roughly to the ground.
Gmabunta: You need to pay more attention!
He shouted in a mighty voice that shook the entire forest.
Naruto: I am paying attention dammit!!!!
He shouted, throwing himself back to his feet.
Naruto: You won't get another hit like that.
Naruto leapt into the air toward the giant toad as his eyes flared red in mid-air.
(JJ: This is the most important mission we will likely ever take on. Naruto Uzumaki must live.)
(Music cue: Yellow moon (Akeboshi) by Saurus)
The next day the village square had been filled, all gathered to look up at the mighty figure standing atop the hokage tower, smiling down at the many people below her. The sunlight brilliantly shining behind her, casting her shadow on everything below. The sound of the wind hitting the mighty mountain behind the blonde hokage echoed in acceptance, making it known, that a new leader had been named, here and now, the lea village had once again, found peace. Once Tsunade removed the veil over her face all stood in awe of the blonde beauty above them, as her brown eyes, filled with purity, assured them, she would protect them to her dying breath. As Naruto stared up, completely unaware of the importance his name held, he smiled at Tsunade, happy that he was able to smile so completely, maybe this is what she had always wanted, but never knew it.
Chapter 17 end
______________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________
Naruto : You want me to do what?
JJ: You're the only one who can, so stop bitching.
Naruto: Nah-Hah.
JJ: Yah-hah.
Naruto: Nah-hah.
JJ: Yah-hah.
Mika: What're you guys? Five?
Raizen: Hey don't hog all the screen time!
Sakura: Yeah some of us are going to be in the next chapter too.
JJ: Tough, we're the main characters.
Naruto: I'm still not doing it.
JJ: We'll see.
Next time on Eyes piercing the darkness: Before the storm: Espionage and treasure hunting.
Naruto: How did it end up like this!?
JJ: Just go with it.
Naruto: NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Sorry this took so long, it was because I had been going back and re-reading my old chapters and updating them for reposting. Not chaing anything, just fix errors or paragraphs. Also I've been working on RN4: REvival. I'll be done with the first chapter to that soon. Besides that, I've been working on ways to beef up this chapter, but it took longer than expected. I'm mostly just glad it's done, because the storm begins after the next chapter. For those who follow the story, you know what the storm is, we all know anyway on to the omake.
Omake theater open!
Canon Omake #1: Iruka's dream.
Iruka's mind escaped into a world of bliss, his dream filled with flowers and beautiful rainbows, but suddenly the entire world grew dark and shook at the hail of lightning falling to the ground. Iruka stared out at the sudden change and gulped down as he felt a presence behind him.
Iruka: Who's there!?
He shouted trying to sound as brave as he could, but once he saw the person's face, he froze. There was a long silence, lasting for about two whole minutes before the other person spoke.
Neko: DUDE!!!!!!!!
Iruka: Uh, this, uh, um........This is exactly what it looks like.
Neko: Dude!!!!!!
Iruka: I know, this a is a clear violation of the bro code.
Neko: This breaks the whole fucking handbook! You had your DICK, in my MOM!!!!!
Iruka: I know man, not cool, but you have to admit, your mom is a MILF.
Neko: DUDE!!!!
He shouted once again as he stepped forward, forcing Iruka to slowly withdraw.
Neko: Stop moving, I have to break your jaw.
Iruka: Wait this is a dream, you can't break my jaw.
Neko: No, I was told that I get one reality shot, so if I were to break your legs here, they'll be broke when you wake up.
Iruka: Wait, how are you an adult now?
He asked finally taking note that his childhood friend was roughly six inches taller than him. Neko smiled and looked down at himself.
Neko: I was seventy years old when I died, I was always able to be this age. It just would've been weird if I showed up looking like this with mom looking like she was in her twenties, people would question it. So I altered my appearance to make it seem more natural. Wait....Don't change the subject.
Iruka: I wasn't really doing that. You know I love your mom, so don't worry.
Neko: That's not the problem.
Iruka: I know, but think about it, either way, if she's happy, shouldn't that be enough?
Neko: Look, the more you talk the more I want to kill you.
Iruka: Shutting up now.
Neko: Good.
He said as he placed his hand on Iruka's shoulder.
Neko: Never expect me to call you dad, don't force that on Naruto either, and if you ever break my mom's heart, I'll make sure that one hit I get is a deathblow.
Iruka: I understand.
Neko: I mean it, you can't even die.
Iruka: That's impossible.
Neko: Well make it possible, because if you die I'll kill you.
Iruka: That's even more impossible.
Neko: Dead people can die, don't you ever watch bleach?
Iruka: What's it like, being dead?
Neko: Fun, it's a whole lot funner than you'd think, but I still miss the days when we used to hang out.
Iruka: Yeah.
He said as the ground below them turn into a village. Both smiled at each other, now in the form of children. With eyes filled with wonder then ran off into the village in hopes of reviving the days long since past. When Iruka woke up, he stared at the beautiful woman at his side, remembering the promise he didn't need to make. Even if hell itself came down on him, he'd never do anything to hurt this woman.
Canon/Omake #2: Affection in a box.
JJ sat deathly still, staring down at a small box of food, wide open, yet only a small portion had been eaten. Naruto walked behind him and stared down, curious to his friend's blank state.
Naruto: What's wrong with you?
He asked as Kiba, Raizen, and Neji walked behind him.
JJ: Mika made me a bento.
He said with a sour look.
Kiba: Isn't that a good thing?
Akamaru walked forward and stepped toward the lunchbox then sniffed it.
Akamaru: Arp!!!!
He shouted as he tripped over his own feet, yapping as if someone had poured scolding hot water on his nose. That one action was enough to send a wave on understanding over the others.
Neji: Why don't you throw it away and say you ate it?
Naruto: Because this probably the first time Mika's ever shown affection.
JJ slowly nodded to what Naruto said and frowned down at the food inside.
Kiba: Then maybe you should eat it, if you really love her then it shouldn't be a problem.
JJ turned back to Kiba and lifted the bento into his palm.
JJ: This is gonna take a lot of love to finish. I don't know if it's physically possible to have this much love.
Neji frowned at JJ's words and picked up a piece of rice from the bento and ate it. All stared at him, waiting for a reaction, but Neji froze in place, unmoving. Neji dropped his eyes and said with pure malice.
Neji: Throw that in the deepest hole you can find.
Naruto: That bad?
Neji: Worse, burn it.
JJ: Hey, this is my girlfriend's cooking you're talking about.
He said breaking up the bomb session. JJ stared at the box once again and then sighed.
JJ: First form: Dragon!
He shouted as he transformed into the ten foot behemoth, making Naruto stare on in disbelief. JJ lifted the bento over his head and dropped all of the food into his mouth.
Naruto: You needed to transform just to eat it?
JJ didn't answer, once he finished his food his eyes rolled back and he dropped to the ground as two letters appeared over his body "K.O.". Naruto tried his best to move his older brother, but he was out, and he wasn't going to wake up anytime soon.
Kiba: Akamaru remind me to learn how to cook for myself someday.
He said down at his young familiar as he nodded back up to him.
Canon/Omake #3: Impossible.
Neji stared up at Gai, barely listening to what the man was saying. It had about five minutes since Ishi had bumped into them and suggested tht they spend the day with them. From the tatters of dialogue he had heard, this was to celebrate him beating Kakashi and tying up their scores, probably because Kakashi cared less than he did at the moment. Now their score had been tied once again at 51-51 and it was only a matter of time, in Gai's words, before he overtook his eternal rival. In Neji's mind, all voices around him turned into a repeating sound of "Blah", from whoever was saying something, until at one moment, it all stopped. Curious to the random silence, Neji turned to Gai, who was staring at a single woman in an out door restaurant. Gai's face went red and his palms grew sweaty, with determination he said to the side.
Gai: I'm going to need all of the youth you can muster if I am to court that beautiful spring flower.
Lee: Go for it Gai-sensei. I know you can do it.
He said as he pumped his fist, cheering his sensei on.
Neji: This is gonna be good.
Tenten: Oh man, she's gonna shot him down faster than Lee with the weights off.
Lee: Don't jinx Gai-sensei, he can do this.
Neji: I don't know where your confidence comes from, but it's misplaced in this situation.
Tenten: Uh-huh.
Ishi: Come on guys, you're talking through the best part.
Kakashi: Yes, I wanna see what happens.
All of the children to turned to Kakashi with exaggerated shock at his sudden arrival. Not paying any mind to the children, Kakashi returned his gaze to his "rival" with an expecting smile.
Gai: Hello Miss, I'm sorry, but I became strangely enticed by your raidiant hair, and glowing with the light of a thousand suns. I wanted to know if you'd do me the honor of being my companion on this fine evening.
He said smiling, showing off his pure whites. The woman chuckled then turned around to him, giving him a clear look at her face.
Kagura: It's been a while, Maito.
Gai: Why Kagura, I had no idea you had returned.
Kagura: I knew it had to be you though, no one else would say something that cheesy.
Gai: Well, if that how you remember me, then I must have left an impression.
Kagura: Oh you left one all right. So what are you doing these days?
Gai took it upon himself to take a seat across from Kagura.
Gai: Well, I've become a squad leader, I teach my student the ways of youth.
Neji: Like hell you do!
Kagura: What was that?
Gai: That was just Neji, he can be rather unwilling at times, but he's a good kid.
Kagura: So you're a sensei, maybe I should become one, well at some point. You seem to be doing well, after all, you have a son now.
She said gazing over at Lee.
Gai: Lee, is my son, but he isn't.
Kagura: So he's like a son?
Gai: He's the one I chose to inherit the my ninja way.
Kagura: Then why is he hurt?
Gai: ....Long story.
Kagura: Oh well, maybe another time.
She said standing up from her seat.
Kagura: It's been fun, but I have to go.
Gai: Wait, maybe I could-
Kagura: Sorry, but I have to help Tsunade-sama get settled in.
Gai: Alright.
He said dropping his shoulders in defeat, making Neji and Kakashi sigh in pity.
Kagura: But-
She said bringing back hope into the situation.
Kagura: I'm not doing anything tomorrow, why don't we meet up then.
Gai's eyes sparkled and he stood tall in his good guy pose.
Gai: You have my word.
Kagura chuckled and said shortly before walking away.
Kagura: I can't wait to catch up with you, Maito-kun.
The world stopped, no one ever noticed that the entire restuarant, not just Tenten, Neji, and Kakashi, but most of the villagers had gathered around to see Gai get shot down, but instead, things went well. The impossible had happened, Maito Gai, had gotten a date.
Kakashi: It's the apocalypse!!!!!
Neji: Oh god, run for your lives!!!!!
At his words, everyone scattered, running home to be with their loved ones in their final moments. Gai stared on and asked silently.
Gai: What's wrong with them?
Ishi: Too little faith.
She said with a smile. Gai had just broken his tie, Gai-52 Kakashi-51.
Canon/Omake #4: The big question.
Iruka sat smiling in a small restuarant, slowly eating his food. In his blissful state, he never noticed that he was suddenly surrounded by other adult shinobi all wondering the same question.
Asuma: Hey, um, did you and Yubiki have sex?
He asked finally saying what was on everyone's mind. At that question the restuarant fell quiet, no one moved, no one breathed, all they did was stare at Iruka, waiting for his answer. Iruka choked, of course he wanted to brag, he had just had sex for the first time, and it was with a queen, a SS class demon, the most powerful woman in the village, an he had made her cum. He earned those bragging rights, but as a man, sometimes the bragging rights must be hidden away or else you come across as a douche. Knowing this, Iruka had to come up with something quick.
Iruka: No.
Naki: Really, then what happened out there?
Iruka: Well, Yubiki was distraught, so she decided to go hunting.
His explaination came with crudely drawn illustrations.
Iruka: Remember, she said that's how calmed down.
Kakashi: Right.
Iruka: So I went out there to check up on her. When I found out what she was doing, I decided to help her, and our target was a small rabbit. This rabbit was quick, and we wound up chasing it everywhere, and because of all the running, and occasional slip-up, we wound up sweaty and muddy.
Anko: Uh-huh.
Iruka: Then we cornered the rabbit, but before we could catch it, it jumped into a small hole. Yubiki refused to use her powers to catch it, so she reached down into the hole and grabbed for the rabbit, pulling it slowly up, but in the end it got deeper into the hole, so I came up with a plan and I dropped a smoke bomb down into the hole to force it out, and once the smoke rose from the hole, the rabbit limply came out. Triumphantly holding the rabbit, Yubiki smiled and then gently let it go. Then before we knew it, it was late and due to all of the exercise we had, we got tired and fell asleep on a nearby rock.
Iruka folded his arms after finishing his explaination as everyone around sweatdropped at him. After a moment of looking at each other Kurenai finally asked again.
Kurenai: So you had sex.
Iruka: Wha? No, we just chased the rabbit then collapsed, dog tired on a rock.
Once again, everyone looked at each other and then back to Iruka.
Genma: So you had sex.
He repeated. Iruka snapped and stood up from his table before shouting out.
Iruka: What's so sexual about wrestling with a rabbit in a tight hole, then forcing him out in a cloud of white smoke?
The way he explained that time sounded so inappropriate that it caused most of the listeners to chuckle. Iruka shook in rage and shouted.
Iruka: Grow up!!!!
With that said, Iruka stormed from the restuarant, never paying for his meal.
Naki: They totally had sex.
All: Uh-huh.
They all said in unison, staring at the dor that Iruka had just left through.
Omake theater close!
JJ: It's been a long time coming, but welcome all to-
All: Character introduction corner.
Sakura: Man it feels so good to be at this part of the chapter.
Ino: Yeah it means we're almost done.
JJ: And we have another special guest today. My own teacher, Claire-sensei.
Claire: Well it's about time I was invited, I've been here long enough.
Ino: Well, tell us your stats to begin with Claire-sensei.
Claire: Alright.
Strength: 10
Endurance: 20
Speed: 11
Chakra: 14
Weapon skill: 16.
Taijutsu: 15
Genjutsu: 5
Ninjutsu: Beyond comprehension.
Ino:.......Um.
Sakura: Was one of your stats "Beyond comprehension?"
Claire: Yeah, why?
Ino: What kind of jutsu do you know exactly?
Claire: Well, there's the elavated level of medical ninjutsu I know. Because of my family's forbidden techniques, healing wounds is the very least of my prowess as a medical nin.
JJ: There's also that technique.
Sakura: What technique is that?
Claire: Because of my skill and talent as a medic nin, I've developed a technique I call the toumei battousai. It's a thin wire created from concentrated chakra formed literally hundreds of streams that can cut with the power of a samurai sword. Truly, I've never found and armor I couldn't cut through, not even JJ's dragon skin can withstand it. It only takes 0.1 seconds for me to release them and disperse them into the entire area. This also allows me to use them in taijutsu attacks as well. I named this techinque after a famed samurai from japan's meiji period. Even using the powerful technique doesn't have much of a cost to my own chakra. Because of this technique, I have never lost a fight. Besides that I also have my family's special summons.
Sakura: You mean the dogs and the guy in the coat?
Claire: There are others, but I won't get into that yet. And then there's also the fact that I can't be infected by any strain of sickness, be it poison or even a simple cold.
Ino: Is it true that you raised JJ?
Calire: When he was in the village yeah.
Sakura: What was he like as a kid?
Claire: The same, only a lot more perverted.
She said throwing the boy a sideways glare.
Claire: Because of the fact that I was raising him, I was often the victim of his little preverted escapades.
Ino: Well, boy's are normally perverted.
Claire: Yeah, some more than others.
JJ: Oh com'n you were just special, because you were always around.
He said in a matter-of-factly way.
Claire: Remember this girls, if you find a lost kid in the forest, let him rot.
Bing bong bing.
JJ: Time once again for 4th wall breaking moment.
Claire: Where the hell did that chime come from?
Sakura: I don't even know.
JJ: When I made RN4 I came up with JJ's persona during the writting process, but I always had Claire in mind to look after him, because she was the only person in Resident evil who ever showed motherhood skills, seeing as she looked after Sherry. When I first came up with this group, JJ's teammates were always the same. Trigger, Leon, Claire, JJ, that was always how I wanted it. It also let me invite along another character who was already in Konoha on RN:AC. Claire was added into this story to be kind of a deus ex machina, someone who no matter what happened, could heal the main characters' wounds. This is Tsunade, but her powers were limited, I needed someone who defied logic, seeing as the enemies were going to be drastically stronger than they were in the canon storyline. Claire is an important part of this story and she is also one of my favorite characters, mostl;y because she's so neutral on most things, like not helping her team. Claire is a fun character have around, and I want to make her far more active later in the story, after all, she is kinda like my mom.
Claire: Don't call me a mom!!!!!
Sakura: If you look at her like a mom, then why do you, act all perverted with her?
JJ: Because, at the end of the day, she's not, which means she's fair game.
Claire: And that's the answer I've always gotten.
Ino: Well, that's it for today.
JJ: And remember, if you have any questions, just PM me, and I'll answer them all.
Claire: And to all those readers out there-
All: Shine eternal!
Now that this is done, on to the next one, see you later everybody.
Bleach: I made several references to this in the last chapter. The "Ishi-hime, we're gonna play a little game." and the Orihime kidnap scene, both in mention and in re-enacting. But before anyone mentions it, the kage-hochou was not one of the them. The Kage-hochou is a direct link from my first original story, named the shadow step. One of my characters had the ability to teleport and travel through the shadows of object and people, and even his own. Also, Chronos is not based on Ulliqura, he's loosely based on Fate Averuncus from the Negima series. Even their hair is the same color.
Sonic: During his good mood, Raizen ran through the streets singing. But for those who don't like sonic, Raizen was singing the 4kids version of the opening theme song to Sonic X. Why? Because it was another point out to the fact that Raizen was inspired by Sonic the hedgehog.
Naruto: Clash of ninja revolution 2: Once again, for those who don't know, Kagura, Tsunade's other student, is from the clash of ninja games. She's a white haired beauty who used to be in Anbu, but defected the village when Tsunade refused to take her on as a student. However, as I have with many other characters and will do again. I felt that she was someone to cool to let die. So in this story, that tall drink of water actually managed to become Tsunade's apprentice and travels with her. She will be playing a big role later on.
School rumble: Fans of this series may have noticed the direct reference to this series, but I used the name Harima and Kenji, during Chronos' meeting with Hinata. Which is the name of the story's semi-main character. To make the reference more noticable I even had him mention the name Tenma, the girl he likes, and Imouto-san, which is what he calls Tenma's little sister Yakumo. And for those wondering I ship Harima x Yakumo, just in case anyone was wondering.
Many things happened in the last chapter, and in this one I will finish those things off, as well as begin the wave of descent that begins with it. Are you all ready? Because now ends the Tsunade retrieval arc and the beginning of the path to darkness arc. Now without further ado, let's get started.
____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________
An gels and demons: a fated clash!
Chronos stood triumphantly over Shizune, holding her hair roughly between his fingers as his hand's glow became brighter. Time was scarce, Tsunade was going to have to make a decision, and fast. With her resolve slowly fading Tsunade dropped her shoulders, but before she could give a response to the boy's question a kunai latched to a wire ripped through the boy's hand, severing it from his body. Shizune limply fell to thr ground and coughed in pain as the boy looked at his stomp of a hand without interest.
Chronos: Bothersome.
Naruto: Bastard!!!
He shouted as he warped in front of the boy fiercely slamming his fist into his face with enough force to crush the wall surround Tanzuku castle's gate behind them. As the rubble collapsed around the boy Kagura lifted her younger friend and stared at Orochimaru who only sighed at the situation's change.
Orochimaru: Always with the theatrics Naruto?
Naruto: You have the nerve to show your face to me? After I finish what I started with him you're next.
Chronos: Excuse me, but what did you start?
He asked standing behind Naruto with his hand placed at the back of his head. With a single flash he sent Naruto soaring through the buildings behind him.
Chronos: Humans always assume they're stronger than they are.
He said as he lifted his severed hand and placed it back on his wrist. With not even the slightest effort he reattached the limb as if it were detachable.
Chronos: I didn't expect you to show up so soon. You must not have cared enough for the girl to stay by her side.
He said slowly walking forward, Naruto tried to lift himself, dripping chakra from his with every passing second.
Tsunade: Shizune?
Shizune: I'm okay.
She said pushing herself from Kagura's grip.
Chronos: I believe that we had business Baabaa.
Tsunade: No, we don't.
Chronos:......Regrettable.
Came a solemn remark as the boy closed his eyes. Tsunade cracked her knuckles without revealing her emotions, then with a furios roar she slammed her palm into the side wall around Tanzuku castle.
Tsunade: You threaten the people I care about and give an offer like that. It'll be a snow day in hell before I let a brat like you start giving me orders.
Chronos: Heh, how rude. I'm actually hundreds of years older than you Baabaa. Either way, it seems that negotiations have broken down. Orochimaru, you don't mind if I kill the "forbidden one" do you?
Orochimaru: No, Keep him alive, I need him breathing in order to recieve his powers.
Chronos: So picky.
He said as he ducked under Naruto's fist and slammed his palm onto the boy's chest.
Chronos: Let's take this to a more suitable place.
At his words another flash covered the area, sending Naruto flying the through the town and into a massive feild. During his flight Naruto regained his balance and landed to his feet just in time for Chronos to appear in front of him.
Chronos: I'm ready, aren't you angry? Are you going to fight me with everything you have, or stand there all day?
Naruto growled and roared into the heavens as a cloak of red chakra spill from his body, slowly enveloping him until fours tails hang from his back.
Chronos: Are you going to fight me like that?
He said in amusement.
Naruto: I'll kill you!!!!!
Chronos: Feel free to try.
Naruto vanished from sight and reappeared at Chronos' side. At lightning speed he slashed at Chronos, but the boy vanished as well, not leaving a trail of chakra behind him.
Naruto: That's not the kage-hochou.
He thought aloud as he ducked under Chronos' fist. With a sigh of disappointment the boy launched his other fist up into Naruto's chest, creating a massive explosion behind it. Naruto's upper half vanished in smoke, but suddenly reappeared under his pelvis.
Naruto: RRRRAAAAARRRR!
He shouted as he slashed upward at the boy, but before his claws could land Chronos was standing behind him.
Chronos: I'm growing bored.
He said as he lifted his foot into the air and slammed it down into the back of Naruto's head.
Chronos: I expected more.
He said as he snapped his fingers, calling forth a large wave of white light that slammed down into Naruto's back. Even in the menacing form he now had, he screamed in pain under the force of the attack. Chronos stared down expressionlessly as Naruto was being crushed by the massive pillar. Naruto lifted himself, despite the massive amount of pressure and stood to his feet inside the pillar.
Naruto: DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!
He screamed to the sky, dispeling the attack completely. The four tails behind Naruto formed an arc behind his back and spilled black matter in front of him. With a sideways glance, Naruto turned to Chronos before grabbing a hand full of the matter giving it a tight squeeze. Once he reopened his hand the matter had formed into a tiny black swirling ball.
Naruto: Try and dodge this.
He said with a slight chuckle as he crossed the ground without a second's hesiatation. Naruto reached Chronos and then stopped, much like he expected, the boy vanished from sight and reappeared behind him. Naruto smiled and his upper half turned around without moving his legs.
Naruto: Dark matter Rasengan!
Chronos smiled slightly and awaited the inevitable impact, or what should have been inevitable. Chronos was suddenly at his side holding Naruto's hand without taking a single step. Almost effortlesly, Chronos turned Naruto's hand back to his chest and used his own attack against him. A massive blast of yellow energy overtook Naruto's body as he screamed out in pain and went flying through the sky and the many trees behind it. No expression was given by the smaller boy, he kinew that the battle wasn't over, at that, he knew he hadn't really hit the raging demon. Naruto had been calmly watching him from the trees since they started.
Chronos: Your demon clone jutsu is impressive.
Naruto: You're just now noticing that it wasn't me?
He asked as he pushed himself from the tree and stared at the boy with crystal blue eyes.
Naruto: As absurd as this sounds, you're stopping time aren't you?
Chronos: You were calm enough to figure that out? Seems you're sharper than I thought.
He said staring to Naruto with expressionless eyes.
Naruto: That's still not enough to help you.
He said calmly as his clone returned from the forest, pissed as all hell. Slicing wind became an echoing sound as Chronos lifted his hand and sliced through the clone with a single swipe. A powerful wave appeared that reached high into the heavens and crashed through the forest behind Naruto. As the wave passed by, it moved mere inches from Naruto's face, yet he didn't even move an inch.
Tsunade: Naruto!!!!
She shouted, not managing to avert the gaze he had locked on his opponent. Naruto stepped back in a single motion, dodging Orochimaru's sword as it rushed past him. Naruto leaned his eyes over to the new arrival in the battle, but made no move to retreat.
Orochimaru: I'm sorry, but your interference must stop here.
He said stepping forward, arms swinging like limp noodles at his side.
Naruto: (He must have moved in while I was fighting. What's more, he's not the only one here.)
He thought to himself as he jumped back away from a chakra coated slash. After failing to gain the initiative in the assualt, Kabuto landed in front of Naruto and smiled as he pushed his glasses to the bridge of his nose.
Kabuto: I guess I jumped the gun a little too soon.
Chronos: I don't recall asking you to interfere.
He said to his companions who both smiled in return. Far down the feild Tsunade closed the distance between them and the awaiting battle, but Naruto could history by the time she reached them.
Tsunade: Kagura, buy some time!!!
Kagura: You got it!
She replied as she lifted her arms swiftly hurling wire-laced kunai through the very earth. Once the re-emerged they were all in front of Naruto, proudly displaying the explosive tags that were tied to the bottom. Because of her time watching Naruto train, she had extreme confidence that he would dodge the attack, which wasn't misplaced. The others however, were forced to scatter.
Chronos: Bothersome wench!
He said losing his infinite cool. Naruto wasn't going to waste any time, without delay he closed the distance between him and the young white haired boy in front of him. None of the others were important, merely bugs flying around his real battle. Chronos smiled at his approaching target with eager anticipation. His wait wasn't long, within half of a second Naruto had closed the distance between them with a straight punch through his kage-hochou.
Naruto: I didn't think that'd land.
He said looking at the flat palm holding his fist. Naruto smiled and flicked his left foot to the side, initiating his kage-hochou once again, only to move one inch forward, with his left foot soaring across the air, slamming into Chronos' face, the first hit he had landed on the boy. Chronos flew back across the ground then threw himself into the air, landing on nothingness. Chronos stood in mid air, looking down to Naruto without even one sign that Naruto punishing kick had done anything. A single upward gaze from the airbourne boy alerted Naruto to the approaching danger as Kabuto and Orochimaru closed in once again.
Naruto: Dammit!
He said quickly turning back to the two dangerous missing nin however, in his blood lust, Orochimaru failed to notice the massive fist coming for his face.
Tsunade: You let your guard down!
She shouted as she pounded the man's face, feeling the breaking bones under her fist. Orochimaru slid for two miles before coming to a stop, yet Kabuto never once turned from his advance, himself missing something coming up on him, until it was too late.
Hinata: 8 Trigrams: Single star point release!!
She shouted as she slammed her right elbow and left palm into Kabuto's back simultaenously. As the the blow landed fifty orbs of chakra shot from Kabuto's body and covered the surrounding area. As if moving against time, Hinata fluidly twirled to Kabuto's front and pulled back both palms.
Hinata: 8 Trigrams: Heaven splitting palm!!!
Hinata's hands gathered the spheres of chakra to her palms and she slammed it through Kabuto's body before soaring into the heavens. The blood that erupted from Kabuto's mouth was enough to coat the entire area, leaving him little more than enough time to recover from the attack. As his body stewed in pain on the ground Hinata stood to her feet and spoke to Naruto without turning to him.
Hinata: I'm sorry I worried you. And I apologize Kabuto-san, but because of that boy Naruto is fighting right now, I'm in rather foul mood. Since I know my Naruto-kun can handle him, I'll just have to settle for you to relieve this built up hostility.
She said with eyes blazing red. Kabuto slowly lifted himself and wiped the blood from his mouth as his body slowly healed.
Kabuto: I didn't know that the Hyuuga favored sneak attacks.
Hinata: Such is the nature of a ninja, right. Besides, on my way here I saw you sneaking up on Naruto rather often, hypocritical Otaku.
Kabuto: Otaku?
He said with a chuckle as he stepped forward.
Kabuto: I'm going to enjoy this little girl. I want to try my style against someone else who can attack directly into the human body.
Hinata: Hehehe.
She said as she squeezed her hand onto the air, forming a scythe from the water in her tightly clencthed fist.
Hinata: You'll have to hit me first.
Naruto: I'll make him pay for what he did to you Hinata-hime.
Hinata: Alright.
She said back-to-back with boyfriend as both ran for their enemy. As Orochimaru finally stopped his own slide he came face to face with his former teammate. Her gaze cast downward at the crushed man she asked.
Tsunade: You saw it fit to sic your hounds on me to make me obey?
Orochimaru: If that's what it took.
He said lifting himself from the ground, completely unfazed by the woman's fierce punch. Orochimaru smiled as he closed his eyes to the blonde sannin.
Orochimaru: However, I figured you would be too stubborn to listen to my words. Force is the only other way.
He said as he re-opened his eyes, revealed a deep red glow in his pupils, laced with gold.
Orochimaru: If you will not help me, than you must vanish, along with everything associated with you.
Jiraiya: I dare you to try that.
The last of the three great shinobi stepped from the forest accompanied by Mika as they slowly walked into the middle of the fight.
Jiraiya: Sorry it took me so long to get here, I was gathering information, and I picked up a juicy little tidbit. But, I guess that'll have to wait.
He said cracking his knuckles.
Mika: Is JJ here yet?
Shizune: We haven't seen him.
Mika: Heh, then he's here.
She said as she dropped into stance.
Mika: I've been waiting for a chance to fight you.
Orochimaru dropped his smile and heaved a deep sigh before roaring out.
Orochimaru: Fine then, I'll kill you all together.
Tsunade narrowed her eyes and said back to her two students
Tsunade: I want you to go back to town and evacuate anyone in this area.
Kagura: But, what about you?
Tsunade: Right now I'll be able to manage, just make sure that all of the civilians stay away from this area.
Shizune: Alright, be careful lady Tsunade.
Tsunade: As careful as I can be.
She said as the presence of the two younger women vanished from beside her. JJ stepped out into the feild and frowned as he looked on with Hanabi at his side gazing up at him.
Hanabi: What do we do?
JJ: We watch, if things get too bad, someone needs to be able to jump in at a moment's notice.
Hanabi: Okay, I know they can handle this.
She said practically digging her own nails into her arms , trying to stiffle the urge to jump in. JJ placed his hand on he girl's head and said with determination.
JJ: If anything is even almost about to happen, I'll kill them all in order to save those we care about.
He said reassuring the small girl at his side. As much as he wanted to, there were people who had a better place in that fight rather than him, and even if things got bad, someone needed to be able to remove everyone from the field. Being as he was the strongest of the children and the fastest in the group, it would fall upon him to save everyone. However, overlapping his own logic was the knowledge that no matter how much he wanted to jump in, he wasn't needed. Instead he watched on with bated breath.
(Flash)
Hinata pushed back to taller boy as if he was nothing. No matter how many ways he came at her, much like she had said, he could land a blow. Hinata smiled at him and motioned for him to come at her again, but this time he remained cautious. That scythe wasn't for show, she could easily kill him if she wanted.
Hinata: Am I going to have to make the first move?
She asked taunting Kabuto with an arrogant smirk. With a roar of rage he rushed at Hinata once again, but quickly ducked under the scythe slash she made for hs head. During a roll he reached out his chakra covered hand for her leg, but the shadow quickly approaching him alerted him to the fact that he wouldn't have enough time to touch her. Aborting his plan, Kabuto kicked the ground and sent himself into another roll far away from the girl as her scythe slammed into the ground, right where his heart would have been.
Kabuto: (She's trying to kill me.)
He thought to himself as he stared at the normally kind hearted girl. At the moment, she was a shinobi, fighting an enemy who threatened something she wish to protect, that meant that mercy was a luxury that couldn't be afforded. Hinata lifted her scythe from the dirt and hung it over her shoulder as she smiled at the boy in front of her.
(Music que: Philistine by Nadia Gifford. No more heroes 2 OST)
Hinata: Come at me anytime you wish.
Se said once again taunting the older boy. Angered by the girl's insolence he rushed forward once again, eager to gain the advantage back from her. However, Hinata wasn't ready to give in to his attacks. Each moveent he made was counter by the small girl's natural flexibility. With a single thrust he managed to move his hand for her heart, but the second he was close enough Hinata slammed the hilt of her scythe down onto his hand and turned into a kick that slammed into his face, harnessing the momentum of her spin, Hinata lifted the scyte into the air and slashed across Kabuto's chest. If he hadn't managed to move slightly before the attack Hinata would have made him a two piece. Hinata landed to the ground in a crouch and smiled as she rushed for the boy as he spun to the ground. Each step move her several feet within seconds. Realizing the danger headed his way, Kabuto turned his body so that he would land on his back and then flipped in the opposite direction as Hinata slammed her scythe down for him.
Kabuto: I'll finish this now.
He said as he covered both hands in chakra and leapt back for Hinata, spinning sideways liked a buzzsaw. Hinata quickly held up her weapon and countered every attack by clashing with her own weapon. Hinata twisted her body and quickly dragged the scythe at her side, ready to rip through Kabuto's neck as he landed, but with the unmatched grace, Kabuto manage to lean back under it. Even with his movement, when he leaned back up, all he could see was the heel of a foot flying for his face. Hinata had kicked for him the second her scythe had moved. Kabuto once again found himself sliding across the ground, marveling at the girl's strength, but before he could even stop himself Hinata had sent water senbon flying for him, each ripping through his body without fail. As his body lay, impaled to the ground Hinata quickly closed the distance between them. Kabuto looked up, blood leaking from his mouth, he saw Hinata standing over him as the grim reaper ready to rend him of his soul. With quickly placed hand signs he managed to replace himself before the attack could reach him, but he also unwisely chose to do so as a means to atack Hinata from behind. As if she could read his mind, Hinata slammed her scythe into the ground and flipped into the air, simultaenously dragging her scythe upward through Kabuto's body. Once again the boy had managed to avoid the brunt of the blow, but the blow had left a massive wound on his shoulder. Hinata landed to her feet as Kabuto collasped and yawned in his face.
Hinata: I'm getting bored.
She said throwing her scythe onto her back. Kabuto waited for the wound on his shoulder to heal, and once again he ran after the girl. Hinata smoothly stepped to the side and leaned forward as she spun the scythe on her back, slashing after Kabuto's neck. The boy narrowly managed to escape it, then he turned around with a slah of his own, which Hinata swiftly turned away from. Hinata gripped tightly onto her scythe and swung it low toward Kabuto's feet, yet by a miracle, he managed to leap over it. Once again not sparing even a second, Hinata spun again and slashed across Kabuto's chest. Kabuto spun to the ground with a beautiful trail of blood streaming behind him, quickly making him realize, he was not going to beat this girl. Before he could hit the ground he flipped into landing position and tossed himself back to his feet, completely losing the range to counterattack. Even as he tried to escape the girl's attacks, more just flew at him from afar as Hinata swung her scythe, sending waves of ice flying at the fleeing boy. Kabuto placed his hand on the ground and tossed himself into the air, hastily throwing a kunai at Hinata as he ran, but the girl effortlessly knocking it away with her weapon before rushing across the feild after her opponent. Kicking the ground as hard as she could, Hinata sent herself into the air, her scythe pulled back, ready for the descent that would decide the fate of her victim. As she dropped she slammed her scythe down into the ground where Kabuto was only seconds before.
Hinata: Coward. Eight trigrams!
She shouted as she twirled her scythe in front of her.
Hinata: Fox hunt!!!!
She shouted as she swung her scythe in Kabuto's direction, sending forth a massive fox formed from pure chakra. As the fox rushed forward it shattered into five blades that ripped Kabuto's body apart, but alas, he simply replaced himself and vanished from Hinata's range of attack.
Hinata: He got away? Heh.
She said pointing her scythe to ground. Hinata turned back and gazed at Naruto's battle.
(Naruto)
Clentching his fist, Naruto ran toward the white haired boy in front of him, ready to end his immortal life with his own hands, but no matter how many times he attacked, the boy just warped away from it.
Chronos: You're too slow.
He said in a voice barely above a whisper as he teleported behind Naruto, thrusting a massive blade at his back, but before the blade could reach, Naruto flipped the side and hurled a kunai at the boy.
Chronos: Useless.
Was all he said as he warped in front of the kunai. Once Naruto landed he found the boy staring right into his eyes. With a palm covered in light, Chrono's slammed his open hand into Naruto's chest. A brilliant flash covered the entire area as Naruto was blasted back along the ground. Managing to turn his body in mid-air Naruto returned his gaze to Chronos as he grew closer.
Naruto: Alright, come closer you little bastard.
He said to himself as Chronos warped across the ground until he stood under him. Shock appeared in boy's eyes as his opponent prepared another powerful charge of light, but a smile quickly crossed his face. Naruto dropped down and quickly left a trace of his chakra in front of Chronos before he could prepare for the attack. Naruto slammed his fist into the boy's face and commanded his clone to slam it's rasengan into the boy's back. After taking the blow Chronos leaned to the side and exhaled then within that same second he was on the other side of the feild. Naruto clone dodged at the last second to avoid colliding his attack with is master, but the main Naruto grabbed the clones free arm and hurled him at Chronos. Quickly adjusting to the change in tradjectory Naruto's clone charged after the white haired boy as if nothing could stop him, yet with a single swipe of his hand, a wave ripped through the clone, yet Naruto warped past the wave and slammed his fist down into Chronos' face.
Naruto: Got you!
He shouted as he followed up with a rising knee, but when Chronos saw the incoming attack he was suddenly standing at Naruto's side. At light speed he formed his hand into a blade and slashed for Naruto's side which the blonde hero barely managed to dodge. Grasping his side Naruto stared at his enemy with hatred in his eyes, yet within seconds he was being sliced to ribbons as Chronos warped around him, cutting gracefully, yet avoiding the vitals. Once Chronos finally finished his assualt he stopped at Naruto's side and held up his hand, licking the blood from it as Naruto's wound erupted with red fluid. As Naruto fell to his knees Chronos turned back to him and said.
Chronos: I'm disappointed.
Naruto: Don't be, I just figured you out.
He said as he stood to his feet.
Naruto: It took a while, but I was able to see it all. Mika once told me that, her powers have laws. She can only control earth if her feet have a direct link to it or if she can see it and link to it by moving her hands. If there was no stone underfoot or in sight, she would be helpless. I figured you had a law too.
He said with a smile. Lifting a single hand Naruto clentched it tightly and continued.
Naruto: Even when I hit you, you never rewound time, so that's beyond your abilities.
Chronos: No matter what the powers maybe, once history is written, it can't be changed. Whether that be even a second, or an hour, what has already happened, will not be reversed.
Naruto: That's what I figured, another thing I figured out was, each time you hit me, I saw it happen.
With a lifted eyebrow, Chronos pyhsically asked Naruto to continue what he was saying.
Naruto: In order for you to freeze time, you need to relax your body, which means that you can't exert force when doing that. If you even put forth to much of a force, say enough to cut someone, your power will cancel out.
Chronos gave Naruto a sideways smile and closed his eyes before giving him a round of applause.
Chronos: Good, you're absolutely right.
Bringing his hands to a stop he looked deep into Naruto's eyes.
Chronos: However, klnowing how something works and being able to stop it are two different things entirely.
He said taking a step forward, before Naruto could react Chronos was standing in front of him with his leg coming down for his head.
Chronos: Knowledge is nothing without skill.
As his leg descended, Naruto's arms snapped above his head and blocked the incoming kick as if it were nothing.
Naruto: Yeah, but that saying can also go the other way you know.
He said as he pushed his arms up and flipped the white haired boy into the air. With perfect timing Naruto turned into a spin and slammed his foot into Chronos' ace, sending him sliding across the ground like a skipping rock. With a single flipped Chronos hurled himself into the air and stopped his backward movement by releasing an explosion of light behind his back, making him slowly descend to the ground.
Chronos: Interesting.
He said wiping the blood from his mouth.
Chronos: You're able to see what I'm doing and react within the span of milli second intervals. Truly a worthy opponent.
He said once again walking forward as the blonde boy started doing handsigns. Chronos closed his eyes and suddenly appeared behind Naruto, surely he couldn't react to something that happened behind him. With his hand now formed into a sharp blade, he thrust at Naruto's back, but before the blow could land, Naruto flipped back over him and placed his hand on the boy's face.
Naruto: Wind style: Slicing gale justu!
At his shout, the howling wind and millions of blades shot from the boy's hand, slicing down the boy's body and then blasting him down into the gaurd. Just as Naruto dropped the deliver another blow Chronos was one again far away from him.
Chronos: How?
He asked as he panted for air, then he noticed something. Naruto's byakugan was blazing strong glowing with his eyes full of rage.
Chronos: I see, that's why you knew what I was going to do, but no matter. I have more tricks I have yet to show.
He said snapping his fingers, making what appeared to be a wormhole appear at his side. The sound of metal came from the boy's hand as it formed into a blade.
Chronos: Can you react in time now?
He asked as he stabbed his hand into the wormhole, which suddenly reappeared in front of Naruto. With very little time Naruto jumped away, barely managing the avoid the blade, but another came down from above. Through his eyes, he could see Chronos randomly stabbing through multiple wormholes each time anothe blade reappeared around Naruto, ruthlessly aiming for anything it could hit.
Naruto: Dammit!!!
He shout ed as he burst into a sprint, the only way he could stop that attack was if he could attack from close range.
Naruto: Demon clone jutsu!!
He shouted as four clones appeared at his side and rushed for their opponent.
Naruto: Rip him to shreds!
He shouted as the clones opened their mouths to reveal jagged fangs, ready to feast on the white haired boy, but without even showing the slightest fear he stabbed through each of them without even taking a step forward, yet even with those wounds, the clones kept charging like mad-men.
Chronos: They didn't stop.
He said to himself in a whisper, with a shrug of disinterest he continued ripping away at the rushing clones, until finally, they dropped to the ground.
Naruto: Soooooorrryyyyyaaaaa!
He shouted as he fell down for Chronos, who simply pulled his hand free from the wormhole and slashed across Naruto's chest as he grew close.
Chronos: Pathetic.
Chronos hand latched onto Naruto's face and gripped tightly before growing into a flash that blasted Naruto back across the field.
Chronos: Hm, that should have killed you.
He said as he looked at Naruto, rising from the dirt, panting hard.
Naruto: I'm not that easy to kill.
Chronos: Good, I wouldn't want this to be too short.
He said as he opened another wormhole.
Chronos: Entertain me.
Even as Naruto lifted himself, he found that he was going to have one hell of a hard time fighting against this boy.
(Flash)
Mika narrowly dodged Orochimaru's jaws as they clamped down for her by placing a large stone club in front of her.
Mika: Bastard!
She shouted as she pushed back against the man, throwing him off of her. Orochimaru's two tails swayed behind him as if they were made of cloth as he smiled. With a single sick chuckle he whipped across the feild like a snake, but before he could move in on the girl again a fist slammed into his face.
Jiraiya: Back off!
Pushing more weight onto his fist, he pushed back the man, yet only slightly. Orochimaru quickly turned and launched his foot forward, yet only managed to put himself directly into Tsunade's grip. Without hesitation and ignoring the burning feeling, she lifted the man into the air, and slamming him down onto the ground, creating a massive crater that spread out a mile long and wide. Once she looked down into the hole, she saw the remains of a broken man, who was still breaking apart, forming something from the pieces.
Jiraiya: Get back!!
He shouted as e grabbed the woman and retreated from the hole.
Mika: YAHH!
A loud crushing sound resounded through the area as Mika slammed her fist into the ground and resealed the hold below her, holding the man underneath the ground without even holes to breathe, but alas, under her feet hundreds of serpents emerged, covered in red chakra. As the ravenous snakes rushed forward, snapping wildly at the girl, Mika flipped back, barely managing to dodge them, even as she used the earth underfoot to smashed them, they size made it very easy to dodge her attacks.
Mika: Dammit!
She shoted as she slammed her foot onto the ground and sent herself into the air. With solid determination, the snakes didn't even falter when the girl took to the air, instead they just gathered together and wormed their way up to her. Mika's eyes went wide as she flipped back from her stone and avoided the many deadly snakes, but even that didn't deter the snake sannin. With almost impossible speed they turned from the stone and flew at the falling girl as if she were there only target, avoiding the many fangs was impossible, yet one of the other fighters was eager to remind his foe that he existed. Jiraiya moved himself to the girl's front hastily rushing through seals, he placed fingers around his mouth and blew a fierce flame into the snakes, torching them completely. As the flame blazed on something of a shape started to form inside it, and with a single blur the pale skinned man emerged, smashing his foot into his former teammates face, and without a single pause, he turned into a spin and slammed his foot into the young girl's face.
Tsunade: Jiraiya, Mika!
She shouted as she moved for them, but something behind her caught her attention. Sending her body into a spin she swung her fist back Kabuto leaned down into a split and avoided the attack before spinning around to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru: What are you doing here? Was that girl too much for you to handle?
Kabuto: As ashamed as I am to admit it, yes. She's not as weak as she seems, not even close.
Orochimaru: Oh, well. We can always take care of the kitsune-hime later.
He said stepping forward, slowly stalking toward the three he had been facing before hand, but suddenly a chill overtook him, something was different.
Mika: Step back.
She said giving only one warning to those who fought with her, her eyes completely devoid of emotion. Upon hearing the icy tone in the girl's voice the two sannin at her side moved as far back as they could, leaving the girl to whatever she was planning. With her fingers held out like claws Mika slammed her hand onto the ground and stared at Orochimaru as her link to the earth became as strong as it could be. With her eyes locked on to her opponents
Mika: Ultimate stone jutsu: L5 Explosion!
Mika dragged up her hands and the earth under foot began to shake furiously before shooting up from underneath like rockets.dragging those standing on it into the air, surrounded by what appeared to be magma, there was no escaping. Jiraiya and Tsunade stared on, grateful that they hadn't been on that massive slab of stone. Mika opened her hand and slapped her palms together, causing the massive slab to shatter, then when she pulled them apart the stone closed back together in a sphere buried in the magma. Mika spread her arms and formed a fist with her right hand before slamming it into the ground, making the 200 foot wide sphere explode in midair. Staring in wonder Tsunade began to realize how this girl had become the monster of stone, someone who had never had her name whispered, but was feared by all who opposed her.
Tsunade: Mika.
Mika: They survived.
Jiraiya: Who the hell could survive that?
Mika: Apparently them.
She said stepping back into stance, waiting for the two men to emerge from the floating rubble. When they did Orochimaru was covered in red chakra with seven tails draped behind him, covering Kabuto under his own cloak.
Orochimaru: Impressive.
He said dropping back to only three tails, giving Kabuto a side glance.
Kabuto: Understood.
Without another word he bit into his thumb and dragged it across his master's arm, then with a round of handsign s he slammed his palm into the slab of stone they stood on.
Kabuto: Summing Jutsu: Manda!
Once the seal below his palm appeared, Manda emerged from the bottom of the slab, soaring down through the sky to devour the girl. Jiraiya stared on, expecting the girl to move, but she didn't, something wasn't right.
Tsunade: Jiraiya, summon Gamabunta!
Jiraiya: Now?
Tsunade: That girl is unconcious!
With a wave of understanding and urgency washing over him, Jiraiya quickly moved through the seals and summon the mighty toad to his side. Without a moment's delay, Gamabunta moved to intercept the serpent's attack. However, the giant toad's speed wasn't something that he could boast about, he wasn't going to make it in time. However, just before the serpent's fangs could reached the girl, something snatched her out of the way with such speed that it couldn't be seen.
????: Silly girl, falling asleep while standing.
As Manda slammed into the ground he quickly lashed his tail at the new arrival on the battlefeild, but once again, his attack fell short. Yellow eyes turned the to the quick footed new arrival with malice as he smiled back at him.
Manda: You.
????: It's been a while Manda.
Spoke the strong black wolf holding up the young girl.
Manda: Dingo.
He called out in quiet rage, as the wolf handed the girl over to the two woman who had returned to the field.
Dingo: If I remember correctly, you're names are Kagura and Shizune, right?
Shizune: Yes.
Dingo: My summoner says for you to retreat to his position 200 yards east of this spot. Can you carry this girl with you.
Kagura: No problem. You take care of things from here.
Dingo: That was my intent.
He said as the women vanished from the feild.
Dingo: That whelp talks about how he wouldn't interfere, then he summons me to fight.
Tsunade: Is there some reason for that?
She asked stepping to the wolf's side as she started doing her own handsigns, watching Gamabunta prepare for the inevitable clash with Manda.
Dingo: If I know him, he's waiting for Orochimaru to leave himself open, he's planning to rid us of that problem in one blow, as well as killing off the "Fallen one" over there fighting the fox whelp. If what he's planning is what I think it is, it'll take at least ten more minutes to prepare. But there's another reason.
Jiraiya: That being?
Dingo: He wants to see if he has to.
He spoke, once again bringing up the boy's desire to see the events play out. His interference would stop something, he knew that. Something needed to happen, had to happen, something he wasn't supposed to interfere with, but even with that feeling, he was ready to jump in at any time.
Dingo: Why don't you handle your own problems so that that nosy whelp can relax and protect those who can't join in this fight.
With eyes cast upward, the two grounded sannin waited for the two sound nin to reach ground. With her palm open, Tsunade slammed down into the ground and shouted loudly.
Tsunade: Summoning jutsu: Katsuya!!
As the seal under her hand flared to life a giant slug appeared in front of Manda's fangs. As the serpent snapped down on the massive slug it squeezed down, trying to crush the life from her, but once his jaws connected the Katsuya bursted into millions of tiny slugs, all spreading across the area and onto the serpent's body. As the snake's attention became focused on the snake a mighty fist plundged into his face, knocking him to the ground in a spiraling heap. Gaining a feeling for the situation Manda burrowed under the ground, just in time to avoid Dingo's falling kick, but with the power of the attack, the ground below began to crumble above the serpent, forcing him back to the surface, but when he did, it was something none of the powerful beasts had expected, Manda's fangs snapped tightly onto Gamabunta's throat, growing tighter with every second.
Gamabunta: Dammit.
He croaked out, barely able to draw breath, but not willing to allow the serpent to have it's way. With a swift movement, he ripped his blade from his side and waved it at the snake, but once again the beast proved it's resilience. With a quick pull, it whipped it's body into the air and wrapped around Gamabunta's neck and arm, gaining more of an advantage in the situation. However, the problem with his advantage was, that he was alone, whereas, Gamabunta wasn't. Katsuya's many bodies crawled along Manda's body, burning him as if acid were being painted onto him, and then another stood on Gamabunta's shoulder. With a single punch, Dingo shattered one of Manda's fangs andsent him flying from the tired toad's neck.
Gamabunta: You sure took your sweet time.
Dingo: You had it covered.
He said with an arrogant smile that matched his summoner's. Jiraiya turned his eyes from the massive beasts and then up to Orochimaru, who seemed to be laughing at them from up above.
Jiraiya: Why is he just waiting there?
Tsunade: He wants to see something end.
She said giving a quick glance back to Naruto and Chronos.
Jiraiya: Then why are those rocks still floating?
Tsunade: That girl passed out because she was trying to restrain that jutsu, from what I heard about her from long ago, that move she used was called the genicide technique, meant to kill masses, yet she suppressed it, I'd wager that she still has a firm link on it, even during her unconcious state, which is why it's still up there.
Jiraiya: So in a nutshell, that bastard is going to keep looking down at us like this until he feels like coming down.
Tsunade: Or until we go up there.
She said looking at her white haired cohort. Jiraiya smiled and shouted out across the field.
Jiraiya: Gamabunta!!!
Gamabunta: What is it, can't you see I'm busy?
Jiraiya: We're going to cut off the hydra's main head and put this to rest, we need you to give us a boost.
Gamabunta gazed up and gained a smile over his face.
Gamabunta: I see, hop on.
He said as he placed his hand down to the ground allowing the two sannin to stand in his palm.
Gamabunta: GO!!!!
He shouted as he rocketed the two into the sky like missiles, Manda's gaze reached them as well, in an effort to stop them, he sprung himself in the air and opened his jaws, ready to clamp down on them, but before he could, Dingo's feet landed on his head and with a mighty push, he sent the snake spiraling down to the ground. On his way up, Dingo grabbed firmly onto the hands of the both sannin, then with a mighty roar, he threw them higher. As they flew each grabbed onto a different stone and stared at the two sound shinobi waiting for them.
Orochimaru: How upsetting, now I won't get to finish my show.
He said turning away from the two boys fighting to the new arrivals on his aerial utopia.
Orochimaru: Did you think you'd have the advantage up here?
He asked with his red tinted golden eyes looking dead at his enemies.
Tsunade: I don't need the advantage, just enough footing to get close to you.
She said patting her foot on the rock she stood upon as Orochimaru gazed at the scattered swarm of floating rocks.
Orochimaru: Alright, entertain me.
He said as he walked forward, the fox's cloak raging over his body. Kabuto stepped to his side and smile as he tightened the glove on his hand, this was going to be fun. With only a single step Orochimaru's body was thrown forward into a blur, smashing through the rock Tsunade stood on, but with the grace of an eagle, the woman leapt into the air and twisted down to another rock, where Kabuto was waiting. Without turning to the boy charging at her, Tsunade lifted her hand and slammed the back of it into the young boy's face, but as soon as she did he vanished into nothing and re-emerged at her side, with his hand glowing of his own chakra. Yet without even turning to face him, the woman's hands once again slammed back into him, crushing several of his bones into dust, and even with that, and the boy's body flying through several stones as a result of her attack, he had recovered before he could be thrown from the asteriod feild Mika had created. As he landed atop one of the floating rocks, he chuckled, pulling the shattered glasses from his face as he crushed them in his palm.
Kabuto: It seems I'm outmatched in this situation. Oh well, those two don't have long to live anyway.
He said dropping the glasses from the rock, leaving them to smash into the ground more than a hundred feet below. With wavering interest in the current situation, he decided to drop down to the ground, Orochimaru didn't need him there, and at present, he couldn't think of a reason to stay. As he landed to the ground his feet imprinted a large scar in the ground beneath him, yet his body remained unmarred.
Kabuto: Now you can cut loose, Orochimaru-sama.
He said as he began walking away from the feild, ignoring the battle that ensued around him. Orochimaru smiled, as if he could hear the boy's words from the ground, now there were no limits, he could fight without worrying about losing something that still had worth to him. And with eyes now filled with glee, he charged forward, opening his mouth wide, as if trying to swallow the entire asteriod feild.
Jiraiya: Move!!
He shouted to his female companion as the red missile shot after them. Quickly they fled across the many rocks, trying to dodge the massive mouth with everything they had, but sure enough, it caught up. Jiraiya slammed his fist shut and turned back to it as he pushed the woman out of the way, but as soon as the jaws reached him, he was blasted back into one of the floating stones, trying his damnedest to stop the man from snapping down on him.
Jiraiya: Dammit!
He said as he pushed up, trying to fight the man's grip, but it was obvious that Orochimaru was stronger than him with the fox's power, but Orochimaru's focus had settled on one target, ignoring the second. As if the speed of sound had been ascended, a rock hurdled through the air toward Orochimaru, colliding with his face with bone crushing force, knocking him from his former comrade and sending him flying to the side. When his mind finally recovered Orochimaru was below the many stones, yet with a single movement of his tails he was crawling along them like a spider. Once he grew close enough he flipped up toward his former teammates with his middle tail extended, and the resulting attack split through the stone as if it were a massive sword, threatening to kill anything it touched, yet thanks to Jiraiya's quick movements, he managed to catch neither of his intended targets. Orochimaru stared down in wonder as both of his targets vanished from his sight, but somehow, he could still smell them. Using that to his advantage he was able to tell where they were, cloaking themselves by using the rocks as cover from his sight, but when they realized that he was on to them, those rocks changed from normal cover to speeding bullets. Orochimaru dodged both as they flew at him, but found himself caught off gaurd by the next barrage of boulders. Narrowly managing to dodge them he lost sight of what he was focusing on, and as the rocks closed in, he missed something important. Tsunade had hurled one of the rocks, with Jiraiya hiding under it. As the boulder passed Orochimaru, Jiraiya kicked himself from it and slammed his fist into his former teammate's back, making him bend like a backwards "C", then without even planning out what to do next, he slammed his palm down into Orochimaru's face, bashing him through the rock he stood on. As the pieces scattered Jiraiya flipped back into the air and smiled as Tsunade appeared under him, with her leg extended. There was no hope of avoiding it, Orochimaru could only block the woman's foot, but even that was impossible. As her leg bashed into his face, he found himself being launched down through seven stones before hitting the ground like a shooting star, but something lingered up with the other two, something long. Orochimaru's tongue latched onto Jiraiya's neck and threatened to pulled him down, a fall he would not survive. Tsunade gripped tightly onto it and tugged, pulling the fallen man back into the sky with her.
Jiraiya: Thanks.
Tsunade: Don't mention it.
She said as she pulled Orochimaru to her, but the second he reached in front of her his cloak lashed out and slammed into her, knocking her grip loose, yet the force she used when pulling him sent him soaring into the air, while still attached to Jiraiya's throat. With a grin of satisfaction, he lifted his old teammate into the air and spun him in a complete circle before slamming him into Tsunade, knocking both through the many stones behind them. Even as they landed, they could tell that Orochimaru wasn't done, something else was coming, and as their gaze went up six flashes lit up the sky and above them was Orochimaru draped in a nine tailed coat and with a mighy roar, he snt his aura crashing down into the stone's and the two genin, in what should have killed them, but the second that the flash happened, he revert and casted a gaze filled with confusion down to the scattered asteriod field. JJ stood there, draped in his Kaiser form, holding both unharmed sannin in his arms, but soon after another form of JJ's warrior form slammed down into Orochimaru's face from above. Then the dragon form rushed at him from below and slammed it's fist into the snake sannin's face, knocking him roughly into the ground.
Dingo: Call back your summons.
He said as he grabbed Jiraiya and Tsunade from the image of JJ's dragons.
Jiraiya: How is he-
Dingo: Image projection, he's using the aura clone jutsu. I'll wager that he's ready to use his technique. Call back your summons.
Like they had been asked, both sennin canceled out their summoned familiars as he carried them from the battlefeild, then after dropping them he turned back to the pale skinned sannin with a smile.
Dingo: Now it's time for me to set everything up.
He said cracking his knuckles, and with a satisfying crunch, he slammed his fist into the ground, summoning a wave of black chakra that came rushed into the sky in an arc, slamming into the airbourne Orochimaru, as the man screamed in pain, Dingo slammed his fist once more and then axe handled the ground, creating a wall of black chakra.
Dingo: All yours, whelp!
After relaying his message, he vanished from sight and then JJ slammed his hand together.
JJ: Hanabi!
Hanabi: Right!
She shouted as she leaned forward on the ground and locked her eyes to the snake sannin.
Hanabi: Eight trigrams! Hikari-Hanabi!
Light crackled from the girl's hands and shot out into the wall of black chakra. Eight lights held around Orochimaru's body and started to slowly shine.
Hanabi: It's taking everything I have to delay the explosion, Hurry up Norugi-niisan!
JJ: You got it!
He said as he pushed forward his final seal. The three dragon images he had created flew into the air, dragging the black chakra into the sky with them.
JJ: Ninpo: Dragon black eclipse!
At his shout the dragons fllew into the black wall and exploded and the black flame fell to the ground at an alarming rate, but inside it, the balls of light began to detonate one by one, flashing inside the illuminous ball. The contradiction of elements inside the dark light caused a clash of power inside the ball, but all of the result became a more painful experience for the person sealed inside. Then without warning, all dragons pulled from the sphere and opened their mouths, blasting a powerful wave of power onto Orochimaru. Yet when the sphere opening, he noticed that something wasn't right, though Orochimaru was greatly injured, he was still alive, because someone had sheilded him.
Kabuto: It's good that I decided to come back.
He said with his body smoking, stinking of melting flesh that slowly began to recover as if he weren't human.
Kabuto: That was entertaining Norugi, do you have another assassin jutsu? We've already survived two.
He said with a smile.
JJ: How the hell did he survive?
It was only then that he noticed something.
JJ: Insuru?
Kabuto: Oh, you're smarter than you look.
He said dropping into his true form.
Insuru: Kabuto came back to tell us that negotiations had broken down, and I didn't maybe it was time that I stepped in for him. You don't mind do you?
Orochimaru: No, it seems I don't have anymore time to waste.
JJ moved from his secure hiding spot and moved into battle mode, ready to fight to his death, but at the moment his strength was waining. He prepared for battle, but at the moment, something caught his attention, and everyone else's.
(Flash: During the aerial fight)
Naruto had been fighting with everything he had, but the new technique Chronos had rolled out was different, yet easy to counter, all he had to do was concentrate. With a body covered in wounds, boldly displaying his failed attempts to stop the fallen angel's attack. As another of the wormholes opened in front of him he attempted once again, but realized he had missed his chance, instead he settled with dodging back. Hinata had just finished fighting Kabuto and tried to assist Naruto but he simply answered.
(Naruto: What good is a man who can't defend the honor of the woman he loves!?)
With only those words, he brought to a halt, but even with the sounds of the giant beasts fighting behind him, he had to focus on the boy slowly ripping him to shreds. It wasn't hard, he just needed to time it right, and another chance was coming. As Chronos' blade appeared from another wormhole Naruto's eyes snapped open, ready to attack. Naruto slammed his open palms on both sides of the blade, holding tightly to it, then with one tug, he pulled the white haired boy through, much to his displeasure. Naruto smiled as the boy appeared in front of him, and with a little slieght of hand, he quickly wrapped his hand onto Chronos' wrist, holding him in place.
Naruto: Break free now!
He shouted as he slammed his fist into the boy's face, crushing his jaw as he furiously struggled to break free. You see, Naruto had figured, that if the boy could move his hand through a hole in time/space, then he could move other objects, as well as himself, through to the other side as well, that meant, if Naruto could grab him, he would be able to bring the boy to him rather than running across the feild into another fight. In that same breath, as long as Naruto had a tight grip on the boy, he wouldn't be able to stop time, and even if he did, it would take a large amount of effort to break free of his grasp. Chronos had been trapped, and now, Naruto could wail on him all he wanted and the boy would be forced to fight him on equal ground. Chronos clicked his teeth, cursing the blonde boy's quick thinking and without waiting for the next attack he materialized a sword over his left hand, slashing for Naruto left, the one holding him. However, before he could sever the boy's arm Naruto lifted his sword up to stop him. With eyes now burning red and holding his complete sword, he slammed it into Chronos' stomach twice and slammed his hilt into the boy's face. Then while still holding his hand, Naruto rolled under his arm and slammed his elbow into Chrono's back.
Naruto: I'm not done yet!
He shouted as he released the boy's arm and quickly grabbed around his neck from behind and kneed into his back three times before pulling back his right hand.
Naruto: Rasengan!
He shouted as a sphere of swirling chakra appeared in his open palm, then without warning he slammed it into his back, sending the fallen angel sliding across the ground on his head. Covered in blood, the boy stopped himself, gazing at the slowly healing wounds Naruto had inflicted on him.
Chronos: Damn you.
He said losing his ever cool visage. With a single push, he threw his arm into another wormhole, almost reaching Naruto, but once again, Naruto managed to grab onto him. With a quick spin, Naruto forced his weight onto the top of the boy's arm and kicked into the wormhole, making the his fist crash into Chronos' face, and pulling himself to the other side. Naruto smiled and twisted his body upward, before pulling back down, slashing down across Chronos' chest. As Naruto landed he turned into a kick that slammed into Chrono's face, sending him sliding back across the ground again, except this time, something was waiting on him, two water dragons slammed into the boy's body and froze in place, inside the boy's chest. Naruto charged forward and jumped between both icicles and kicked both sides, knocking both away at the same time, ripping through the boy's body, forcing a terrifying scream from him. As both icicles moved from the boy's body, he gazed at them in wonder, that shouldn't have hurt him, so why did it. Chronos slowly stood to his feet and gazed at Naruto in wonder and amusement.
Chronos: I'm really enjoying this.
He said as he cleared his face and wiped the blood from his lips as he watched on at his red eyed opponent. Naruto was winning, and that was a thrilling thought to the boy, he had never been bested before, no one had ever survived long enough to even figure that he could stop time, yet Naruto stopped his attacks one by one, and countered him.
Chronos: I'm done with tricks.
He said as he walked forward, forming both of his arms into blades, no more stopping time, no more spactial distortions. He wanted to fight this boy with everything he had. With a step he was in front of Naruto, swinging down at the boy, yet his hit missed as Naruto ducked down to the ground and spun body, slashing after the boy who just blocked it with his own blade.
Chronos: I've waited so long for someone as strong as you!
He shouted as he collided his weapons with Naruto's, filling the area with the sound of clashing metal, overlaping anything else that could be heard.
Naruto: Well, I'm tired of bumping into people like you!
He shouted back as he deflected the boy's blade. Naruto pulled his sword to the side and changed it back into the basic form of chakra, then quickly changed it to a massive hammer. With a smooth swing, he slammed the hammer into Chronos' side, shattering his ribs into dust. As the boy rolled to the ground he stopped himself, feeling his body returning to normal. Naruto smiled on, confident that he was holding all of the cards in this fight, but a wet sensation on his shoulder brought his attention to something. He had been slashed several times along his body with him noticing it. Suddenly the pain on his body became known and he fell to his knees.
Chronos: Suprised? My blades are not unlike the ability of the Hyuuga clan. It sends forth a shockwave that blasts forth after being swung, so I don't need to hit you to do damage. Oh, but feel free to keep deflecting my attacks.
One moment, one single thought wash over the boy, leading him to a single decision. Naruto closed his eyes and thought back to the words of his older teammate.
Naruto: Something I mastered.
He thought to himself as he watched the white haired boy draw closer.
Naruto: It was that simple huh?
He asked to himself, rrasing to his feet with a smile.
Naruto: Shadow clone jutsu.
Naruto's hand barely made a sign, yet four clones appeared to his side. Each clone spread out as two more appeared at Naruto's side, giving his the advantage he needed to pull off what he was going to try. Both clones hovered their hands over Naruto's palm and weaved together a powerful rasengan, then with only a single look over to Chrono's, they all vanished, when the boy finally realized what had happened, Naruto was standing behind, holding the giant rasengan in his hand, thrusting it into the boy's back.
Naruto: Shadow step rasengan!!!!
He shouted as the blackish blue orb twisted the boy's insides, yet Naruto quickly pulled back as more clones charged at Chronos, each holding another rasengan, dragging it through the kage-hochou as if they had been doing it their entire life. Twenty times, and counting, every second that the boy could breathe, another rasengan was being slammed into his body as he screamed to the heavens in pain.
Naruto: Naruto!
He shouted as he formed a rasengan in his palm and smiled as his clones summoned a wind, fire, and water style ninjutsu into his sphere. Then without fail, Naruto teleported into the sky, 50 feet high and dragged down his Rasengan as it grew with every second, never letting up on his unrelenting Rasengan assualt. Naruto dropped down on the boy, weilding his red and black tinted spectrum rasengan, and slammed it into Chronos' body with the shout.
Naruto: Uzumaki: Echo Rondo!!!!!!
Chronos' screamed pierced the ears of all who heard it, gaining the gaze from everyone still present in the area, bringing the fight to a temporary end. The sound following the scream was something far more shocking, the sound of something piercing flesh and bone. Naruto coughed blood as five needles of ice pierced his body, then retracted.
Naruto: Wha?
He said gazing at the boy's destroyed body, smiling back at him, puking fountains of blood.
Chronos: I've never been to this point before.
He said as his eyes wavered, then in one movement, he killed the needles stabbing Naruto, allowing the boy to hit the ground.
Chronos: I'm dying.
He said as he stood to his feet losing deadly amounts of blood.
Chronos: I applaud you, however, I'm afraid I don't plan on dying today, so I'll withdraw, but in appreciation for this show you've given me, I'll tell you something.
He said as he stood over Naruto who gazed back up at the broken boy.
Chronos: My real name is Zikan Touketsu. And I hereby promise that I will never again attack anyone you care for. I will never attack your village, your friends or your woman, ever again. Because I only want to kill you.
He said with a sick smile.
Chronos: I annul my pact with Orochimaru, I will never hurt anything again, until I have the pleasure of killing you, do you understand? You have just made me your enemy.
Each time the boy spoke his mouth erupted with blood, staining the grass below. Without paying heed to the boy's words, Naruto smiled.
Naruto: Come at me anytime you want, whatever time you decide that you feel like dying, I'll be more than happy to send you on your way.
Chronos: We'll see.
He said down to the boy as Tsunade ran past him, not once giving a look to the young white haired boy. With panic in her eyes, Tsunade dropped in front of Naruto as JJ guarded both from the onlookers behind them.
Naruto: Baa-chan?
Tsunade: Don't talk.
She told the boy as she began healing his wounds, shaking the whole while. Chronos slowly walked past Orochimaru and Insuru as they moved in for the kill, but before they could, a large wall of ice appeared in front of them, seperating them from Naruto, Jiraiya stared in wonder as Chronos smiled.
Chronos: Leave this, nobody likes a sore loser Orochimaru. Pull back or else.
He said as he walked away, millions of icicles slowly appeared before him and the powerful snake demon.
Chronos: I will probably die if I use this, but you won't survive either.
He said with a smile, forcing the two to hold their positions.
Orochimaru: Tsunade, will you not reconsider?
He asked with a look of displeasure on his face to the woman whose back faced him. Without returning words, she removed her necklace and placed it on Naruto's neck.
Tsunade: I refuse, after all, I plan to live out the rest of my days as the leaf village's fifth hokage.
She replied as she finally turned back to the man behind the wall of ice. Chronos left the feild, going his own way from where his former partner was going to no doubt be headed.
Orochimaru: A foolish choice.
Tsunade: I'd rather be a fool, than be a monster like you.
She said to the man as he turned away.
Orochimaru: You will regret this decision.
Orochimaru began his walk away from the feild, but stopped breifly after hearing the words.
Tsunade: I will never regret this decision.
After a short pause Orochimaru peaked back to her and said only two words.
Orochimaru: We'll see.
And with that said, he vanished, leaving only the heroes behind in the massive plain.
Hinata: Well he be alright?
Tsunade: Yes, he just needs to rest, then he'll be good as new.
She replied with a smile as Jiraiya folded his arms at her side.
Jiraiya: Guess you lost your bet Tsunade.
Tsunade: Yeah....but I feel good about this loss.
She said as she rubbed Naruto's hair from his face.
Kagura: So, what now Tsunade-sama?
Tsunade:.......We go home.
She said with a wide smile on her face.
Shizune: It's about time.
She said starting at her teacher's side as JJ pulled Naruto onto his back and walked off, heading for somewhere to sleep off the day's fatigue.
(Flash)
Yubiki cursed her own efficiency. When she was doing the work, the things that had been said to her didn't seem to plague her mind, but she had finished her paperwork, she had nothing to do, but think, and the more she did, the more her own hurt began to surface. Rain had been falling for what felt like forever, and her mind had been racing for so long that she never noticed that she was walking outside in it.
Yubiki: How far gone am I?
She asked herself as she continued her stride, yet she wanted more than anything to forget, but she couldn't. Eventually she found herself in front of a door, the only one that had a familiar enough smell. She reached out and tried to knock, but then recended her hand. At exactly that moment, as if feeling the beckoning outside, the person opened the door. Yubiki stared in shock, not wanting to say anything, Iruka stared in embarrassment.
Yubiki: Were you leaving?
She asked as she cast her eyes to the side.
Iruka: No, I could have sworn I heard Naruto tell me to open the door.
He said as he looked down, blushing deep red as he did.
Iruka: You're soaked.
Yubiki: I noticed.
She said with a chuckle.
Iruka: Do you want to come in?
Yubiki: Don't mind if I do.
She said walking in as if she didn't need his invitation. After drying herself, Yubiki sat at Iruka's table, sipping tea as he stared at her from his bed.
(Iruka: Why can't I calm down?)
He thought as he nervously rubbed his knees.
(Iruka: No, I can't just assume things are going to turn out like that, if she knew what I was hoping for she'd kill me. Then again.)
He thought working his gaze to her.
(Iruka: After what happened, how can I even think that?)
He said inwardly scolding himself. When he focused back in on Yubiki he noticed that she was starting to blush.
Iruka: Yubiki-san?
He said as he stood to his feet, then he realized, she wasn't drinking tea anymore.
(Iruka: She found my sake.)
He thought as he walked over to her.
Iruka: Yubiki-san?
Yubiki: What kind of host are you? You should've offered this stuff in the first place!
She shouted to him, suddenly standing from her seat. Then she quickly sat back down and sighed.
Yubiki: You're a jerk. All men are jerks. Even Naruto's gonna be a jerk someday.
She said as she sat back down. Iruka stared at her and reached for her shoulder, but before he could reach she turned to him.
Yubiki: What're you waiting for? Sit down and drink with me.
Iruka: I don't think I should.
Yubiki: Yeah, what? You think you're better'n me?
She asked, leaking red chakra as she did. Iruka backed up slightly and waved his hands.
Iruka: No I wasn't saying that.
Yubiki noticed the fearful reaction from the man and she killed her aura before sitting back down with her head facing the table.
Yubiki: I'm a bad person.
She said, obviously being influence by the sake.
Yubiki: I...I'm a bad person.
Iruka: What makes you say that?
Yubiki: I killed my brothers.
Yubiki sunk down lower, speaking in a choked voice.
Yubiki: I killed my father. I deserved what happened.
Iruka: Yubiki?
Yubiki: I'm supposed to be a demon, so why does it hurt so much?
She asked, noticably crying.
Yubiki: Why, does it hurt?
Iruka: No matter what you are, something like that will hurt. He broke your heart, used you, and tore your son away from you. That's not something that can be turned away from so easily.
Yubiki: Why didn't I notice! I'm such an idiot, I-
Iruka: It's not you fault.
Yubiki: What do you know!
She shouted, throwing the glass she held past Iruka's head, somehow managing to create a hole in the wall with simple glass. Even with knowing that, Iruka never moved, he didn't even flinch.
Iruka: Is that how you feel? You're going to wallow in self-pity like some kind of child?
Yubiki: Shut up!
Iruka: Then get out of my house. You have the nerve to come here and throw the blame on yourself because you were hurt by someone else. What he did wasn't your fault, and if that's how you want to deal with it, do it somewhere else.
Quite taken aback by his words, Yubiki stood to her feet and looked dead into his eyes.
Yubiki: What should I do?
Iruka: Move on, and rebuild. Like this village has done, like I have done.
Yubiki: How?
Iruka: One day at a time I guess. If you let yourself hurt, he wins.
Yubiki: I know, but Neko was all I had.
She said walking closer making Iruka's heartbeat rise.
Yubiki: Why did he have to take him, if he wanted power, why not take mine?
She asked in between sobs as she laid her head in Iruka's chest.
Yubiki: I-I can't.....
Iruka looked down at Yubiki and softly gazed at her trembling shoulders, then he raised his arms, reaching for her. That was all it took to remind Yubiki of herself. With the realization she slowly backed away from Iruka and looked down.
Yubiki: I'm sorry, I don't even know why I came here.
She said wiping her eyes, and turning around. Iruka watched Yubiki turn and something struck him like a lightning bolt, causing him to realize something.
(Music que: Can you stand the rain, by Boyz 2 men)
Yubiki stopped, not because she wanted to, but something warm had wrapped around her, tightly grasping her from behind. The room became deathly silent, only the sound of rain pounding down on the house could be heard.
Yubiki: Iruka?
Iruka: You're just a woman.
Yubiki: What?
She asked with a blush. Yubiki's tears, her pain, it made him wonder, what was the big difference between humans and demons. She cries when she hurt, explodes when she's mad There was no difference. As he thought that for a while he just held her in his arms, enjoying her warmth.
Iruka: I always thought that when I saw the Kyuubi, I'd want to kill it. But, right now, I want nothing more to see you smile.
Yubiki: What are saying to me?
Iruka: When you're hurt, when I saw you cry, it was the most painful thing I'd ever seen.
He said holding her tighter.
Iruka: I've never been very good at this, and I've never been able to say this to anyone.
Yubiki: Shut up Iruka.
She said as more tears flowed down her face.
Iruka: I want to protect you from people like him, even if I know I can never be as strong as you, or him. I'd rather die than see you cry again.
Yubiki: If you don't shut up, I'll kill you.
Iruka: I'd gladly die at your hands, telling you this is worth it.
Yubiki looked down and closed her eyes.
Iruka: I love you Yubiki no youko.
Yubiki's eyes opened slightly and she looked away from him.
Iruka: I've always loved you, ever since I was a kid. I've never been able to love another woman, because I've only wanted you, I rated every woman I saw at an unreachable level that I held you.
Yubiki: But, I killed your parents, I....
Iruka:...........I forgive you.
Yubiki's eyes flew wide, even if everyone had accepted her, they never told her those words. It would have been a lie, the villagers forgot, but didn't forgive what she had done, or maybe they did and never said it.
Yubiki: Please don't say that to me.
Iruka: I understand, and I forgive you, my beautiful kitsune.
He said as he leaned his head on her back.
Iruka: No matter what you say, or what you did in the past. I will love you forever, until the day I pass.
Yubiki: Please stop.
Iruka: I want to be with you.
Yubiki looked down as tears flowed down her face.
Yubiki: I'm sorry-
She said reaching for his arm.
Yubiki: I didn't mean to kill them.
Iruka's eyes opened wide and Yubiki pulled free his grip before rushing out into the village streets, letting the cold rain sting her face. Iruka stood in shock. Yubiki said she would never apologize for that, no matter what. His love grew, the woman he saw was getting away, and even though he knew it wasn't true, he felt like if he let her get away, he'd lose her forever. With that thought, he grabbed a small backpack and ran out into the streets, forgetting to close the door behind him, he ran with everything he had. Once he reached the gates Genma and Naki smiled at him before pointing their heads in the direction Yubiki had fled. Without even a second to think, he set off after her.
(Flash)
It had only been a minute, but the flustered demon had managed to make her way deep into the forest, where no one would be able to catch up to her, or at least that's what she had hoped. Alone she sat, gazing into the sky, letting her mind wonder to the memory of what had happened earlier.
Yubiki: He said he loved me.
She thought as she buried her face in her arms, hoping that she could rid her mind of the man's kind words, but that's what she needed, it made her happy. Though it shouldn't have, her heart leapt when he held her.
Yubiki: Why? Why didn't I push him away?
Iruka: A better question is, why did you run?
Yubiki stiffened at his voice, how did he get there so fast?
Iruka: I'm guessing that you're really not on your game today. You didn't go very far you know.
Yubiki: But I must have-
Iruka: No, I was here for a while, you were running around in circles.
He said bringing up an image in his head of silently laughing at her as Yubiki blushed and turned away.
Yubiki: Man, I must be more gone than I thought.
She said holding her head.
Iruka: No, you seem pretty close to me.
Iruka's feet moved him, even through the pouring rain.
Iruka: I'm glad I didn't have to run farther.
He said with a smile as he reached for the woman's hand. Yubiki looked down at the extended hand with blood rushing to her face.
Yubiki: You're going to catch a cold out here.
Iruka: So will you.
Yubiki: I don't get colds.
Iruka: Sure you don't, then I don't either.
Iruka moved his hand down and placed it on the rock at Yubiki's side. Without waiting for her reaction, he lifted himself next to her and smiled at the rain pounding his face.
Iruka: You know, I always liked rainy days.
Yubiki: I did too a long time ago. But not anymore.
Iruka: Why is that?
Yubiki: I met him on a rainy day. I......You know what, screw him.
She said leaning back.
Yubiki: You're right, why should I be the only one crying? Next time I see him, I'll make him pay fo what he did, but I won't give him the satisfaction of thinking he beat me.....or you either.
Iruka chuckled at Yubiki's sudden declaration.
Yubiki: You think just because you said nice words, I'll be puddy in your hands.
Iruka: Are you still drunk?
Yubiki: Nope, the rain cleared that right up, and don't change the subject you buttmunch.
Iruka: Heheheh.
Yubiki sighed and then slowly joined Iruka in laughter as she laid back on the stone.
Iruka: You know, I've always wanted to do this.
He said as he closed his eyes, beckoning the attention of his companion.
Yubiki: Do what?
Iruka: This.
He said as he leaned over, locking his lips onto Yubiki's, much to her surprise. Iruka expected to die after what he had done, but all he recieved was a soft moan under him. When he pulled back Yubiki's eyes locked onto his and gazed on in deep emotion as her breath escaped her lips, softly carressing Iruka's cheek.
Iruka: I love you Yubiki. Do you feel the same?
Yubiki: Well, I feel comfortable enough with you.
She said casting her gaze to the side. Iruka chuckled, never removing his eyes from her.
Iruka: I have no idea what that means.
Yubiki: Neither do I.
She said chuckling back, then through closed eyes she responded.
Yubiki: I don't know if I know what love is anymore, but I don't hate you.
She said looking away once again.
Iruka: I'm not getting a better answer than that am I?
Yubiki: I wouldn't hold my breath.
Iruka: I can accept that.
He said as he leaned back down, softly kissing the lips of the woman he had long since loved. This time however, it wasn't a forced kiss, she openly accepted it, and returned it in kind. Time stopped, the world around them froze and nothing else mattered. The world only needed them, or at least, that's the way it felt. Iruka savored the moment, each kiss like tasting the sweetest fruit that ever existed. Pulling back, Iruka thought a mile a second. He was so tempted to go further, but this wasn't a normal woman he was dealing with, if she didn't want to, "no means no", would be more than a phrase, it'd be ecthed on his tombstone. Instead he took slow steps, trying to feel for what might happen next, slowly moving his lips to her cheeks, and then down to her neck, gently nipping on her collarbone, gaining a soft moan for his efforts.
Iruka: You're pretty passive right now, I always figured you as the aggressive type.
Yubiki: Shut up.
She said softly under the gentle sensation. Even in the cold rain, her body was burning hot, barely even aware that Iruka was slowly unzipping her soaked shirt.
Yubiki: Wait.
She called down to Iruka as he silently cursed under his breath.
(Iruka: She caught me.)
Iruka slowly lifted his head, gazing at the hot breath coming from the woman looking down at him.
Yubiki: Um...
Yubiki slowly sat up an reached to the back of her head, pulling free the tie holding her into a ponytail, allowing it to fall free down her back as she blushingly gazed at Iruka.
Yubiki: You had this planned from the start didn't you?
Iruka: No, it just kind of turned out this way somewhere down the road.
He said with a small smile as he crawled closer the woman, lovingly combing his hand through her beautiful fiery red hair until he reached the black tips a the bottom. If he were to compare her hair to anything, it was more like fur than hair, it's soft texture felt like rubbing a mink coat. With eyes that saw nothing more than passion, Iruka once again moved in for the woman's lips, this time, never once hiding his attempt to undress her, yet she accepted. Realizing that she wouldn't resist Iruka wormed his hand into her shirt, gently carressing her body as she did the same to him. Even as the rain fell, nothing could ease the feeling they had at that moment. Iruka's hand moved down, so did his lips, he was no longer going to relent, he wanted something, and he going to get it, nothing was going to stop him, even the powerful woman he was now embracing.
Iruka: I'm goin' for it.
Yubiki: Huh?
No time was given for resistance, he quickly placing his lips over her mound as his hand reached down to her lower lips, smoothly stroking as if to stiffle any resistance she could put up. All he recieved instead was a loud moan of shock from her as she gripped onto the back of his head.
Yubiki: Ah, Mmm, d-don't. Stop.
Her words were insincere, Iruka knew that, afterall, this was a demon leagues stronger than anything he could handle. No matter what he was doing, she would have been able to stop him, with very little effort. Hell, all it would have taken was the right amount of force with her finger and he wouldn't been sent flying all the way back into the village. She wanted him, and he was going to give her everything she wanted.
Iruka: You're body's honest.
He said as he continued stroking her slit, lovingly licking her breats as her breath became ragged and heavy.
Yubiki: S-shut up.
Yubiki's blush grew wider and she leaned against Iruka's shoulder moaning softly as he continued on, gently stroking her clit with his thumb as his fingers entered her, slowly pushing as his lover moaned sweetly from his skillful hands.
Iruka: Yubiki....
He called out passionately as he moved his head to her face, locking his lips on hers once again.
Iruka: I can't wait anymore.
He said as he furiously removed his clothes and leaned over the woman he loved.
Iruka: Is this okay?
Yubiki:......Yeah.
She said gazing into his eyes as he lined up his manhood to her slit, closing his lips on hers as he gave his first thrust. Yubiki moaned softly at the sensation as the man above her pushed in, slowly, as if he were dealing with someone of less experience, yet, it felt nice. Her eyes closed, blindly enjoying the man's slow thrusts forward, gripping tightly onto her, breathing heavy as if trying to enhale everything that she was, yet suddenly he stopped. Yubiki paused and gazed up at him, before her faced was overcome with shock, looking at his goofy twisted face. Iruka groaned as his body shivered and he collapsed onto her chest, struggling to breathe.
Yubiki: ............You didn't.
Iruka: Sorry, it just felt too good.
Yubiki: That was the ugliest orgasm face I have ever seen.
Iruka: Sorry.
Yubiki: Is that it?
She asked with disappointment written on her face.
Iruka: Of course not.
He replied as he sat up, giving another solid thrust, this time he was harder than before, as if in giving in, he had found his ground. This time, he had more spirit, pushing in as lewd sounds echoed in the rain. Leaning back down Iruka reached under Yubiki's body and wrapped his arms around her as he lifted her for more leverage, thrusting with everything he had, making Yubiki's moans form into screams. As her eyes shot open she gazed down at the man holding her and growled, pushing him down.
Yubiki: I'm taking charge after all.
She said as she began moving with all her strength.
Yubiki: I'm the dominant one here.
This time Iruka was the one moaning, Yubiki had switched their roles, grinding on him in short thrusts as her breath pushed from her lips. Iruka could do little more than enjoy the feeling, as she placed both hands on his chest and bucked on top of his as if riding a bull.
Yubiki: Mmm, uh, ah, deeper.
Iruka reached up to Yubiki's hips and pulled her down, reaching into her deepest part, as she moaned loudly above him.
Iruka: Now.
He said as he rolled her over, desperately trying to gain the top once again, but Yubiki caught him before he could, unfortunately this turn knocked both from the slab of stone into the wet grass below. Both looked at each other, and chuckled before once again locking their lips in a passionate embrace. Iruka's arms wrapped around Yubiki and he lifted her up before leaning her back against a tree, forcing all of his power into each thrust. Yubiki's hands flew back and latched onto the tree as she bit her lower lip muffling her own voice as if something would hear her. Arching her back Yubiki accepted everything Iruka could give as he pumped through the final strech.
Iruka: I'm gonna-
Yubiki: Mmm, G-go ahead.
She told him between moans as Iruka hastened his movements as he moved for the final push as he came. Yubiki's control over her moans loosened and she screamed into the sky as her grip snapped the tree behind her and her body trembled. Iruka held onto Yubiki's back and pulled her to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Even though his arms and lips felt like wet noodles Iruka carried the woman back to the rock as before he collapsed down beside her. Pulling a sheet from the backpack he carried with him when he left the village, he covered himself and Yubiki as the rain finally died down. Holding her in his arms with a smile, Iruka slipped in a blissful slumber.
(Flash)
All of our heroes had waited half a day for Naruto to wake up. Once he did the group decided to visit the restaurant once again before setting out for the leaf village once again. And just like before, excluding the druken girls, it was just as chaotic.
JJ: Man, Tonton looks good right now, it's been a while since I've had live food.
Tonton stiffened as the boy said that and turned to the young dragon boy as he licked his lips.
Tonton: Phee!!!!
She shouted as she ran into Shizune's arms as she glared at the boy.
Shizune: What wrong with you, there's food on the table!
JJ: Yeah, but I don't eat pork. I don't like the taste, and it's bad for you, so I'll just settle for Tonton instead.
He said as he teeth became jagged, smiling down at the small piglet in Shizune's arms.
Shizune: That entire statement was contradictory.
JJ: Pork and pig are two different things.
Kagura: How exactly.
JJ: One 's living.
He said as his smile grew more menacingly.
Mika: What about that Barbecue contest you had with Choji?
JJ: All beef.
He said with a smile as Tonton shivered.
JJ: Sorry, I won't joke like that anymore. I won't talk about those delicous looking pork chops you have, and how scrumsious those ribs of yours most be.
He said once again licking his lips as Tonton scurried again.
Kagura: You're enjoying yourself aren't you?
JJ: Hey, humans are food to me too, don't push me too far.
He said with a smiled as both women sweatdropped. Naruto sighed as he looked over to his older friend, unconciously reaching for the last piece of meat. However, when he did this, the chopsticks collided with someone else's. Tsunade gazed at him from across the table and he gazed back before both threw a stern glare at one another. With that look, the chopstick fight began, a vicous struggle for the last piece of meat. Jiraiya laughed heartily at the display as the two girls at Naruto's side smiled uncomfortably.
Tsunade: Chance.
She said as Naruto left an opening. With a flick of her wrist she hurled her chopsticks at him and Naruto quickly caught them, but at that exact moment Tsunade was holding the last piece of meat over her mouth, and with a taunting smile, she dropped it. Wearing that same arrogant smile, Tsunade slowly chewed it in front of Naruto as he quickly boiled over. Unable to watch any longer Naruto stood to his feet and shouted.
Naruto: You wanna take this outside old lady.
Tsunade: I thought you'd never ask.
She said standing up with him.
Kagura: Lady Tsunade, you're acting like a child.
Shizune: I agree.
They both said with tired looks, never once gaining the attention of their teacher.
Tsunade: Let's go Gaki.
Naruto: Don't blame me when you lose.
He said as he walked out into the street as the older woman followed, leading the others to follow them. Naruto kicked his foot against the ground and leapt into the air, forming a rasengan on the moment he reached the outside.
Naruto: Kage-hochou!
He shouted as he vanished from sight, reappearing at the side of the woman who carefully watched his every step, each time he warped away from her, she locked right on to him and moved her body in that direction. Using that, Naruto formed a pattern, making her believe that he was desperately trying to gain her back, and with each kage-hochou he succeed with the rasengan in his hand grew larger. Naruto chuckled as he finally dropped his facade and warpped right in front of Tsunade.
Naruto: Shadow step rasengan!
Naruto's right hand thrust forward, but much to his suprise, Tsunade shot forth her finger, no protection, no tricks, just her single index finger. Realizing this, Naruto clentched his fist, crushing the rasengan and despersing it into the air.
Tsunade: Just like I thought, you're too soft!
She said as she flicked the headband from his forehead., sending it flying into the air. Naruto cursed at his own carelessness and prepared for the envitable blow that would come with it. However, all that came after was a gently kiss on his forehead, forcing a blush to the boy's cheeks.
Tsunade: Good luck, and always give your best, I'll be waiting for you to take the hokage seat from me someday, Naruto.
Naruto stared up in embarrassment before flashing a foxy smile to the blonde sannin in front of him.
Naruto: I guarantee it Tsunade-sama.
Tsunade smiled back, realizing this would probably be the only time when the boy would ever refer to her formally. As both smiled at one another, Naruto's arms were tugged back against his will, and there at his side were Hinata and Hanabi, angerily glaring at Tsunade as they held onto the boy. Tsunade stepped back slightly and gave the girls an amused smile.
Tsunade: Don't worry, I'm not trying to steal him from you, just giving him a little encouragement.
Kagura: Looks like things are going to be a lot more lively from now on.
Shizune: Seems that way.
They both said smiling on at the bright smile gracing Tsunade's face. It had been a long time, since she seemed that at peace with herself.
(Flash)
The had started to rise into the sky, sending a beautiful flourescent orange through the world beneath it. Iruka's eyes slowly opened, gazing at the woman lying in his arms with love.
Yubiki: About time you woke up.
Iruka jumped as her words shot at him, the realization of what happened the night before.
Iruka: How long were you up?
Yubiki: For a while, I'm a morning person.
Yubiki's eyes turned to the sky, reflecting on the events that had transpired.
Iruka: If you were awake, why didn't you get me up?
Yubiki: You were holding onto me pretty tight, I just figured you were a cuddler, so I stayed here.
Iruka: Were you uncomfortable?
Yubiki: No, but it was boring.
She said closing her her eyes.
Iruka: Yubiki, will you marry me?
Yubiki: Eh!!!!????
She shouted urbruptly sitting up.
Yubiki: What the hell did you just ask me?
Iruka: I'm serious.
Yubiki: Wha?
She said as her excitement slowly died down, then she looked away, before replying.
Yubiki: You know I can't say yes to that.
Iruka: Why?
Yubiki: I think it'd be a bad idea, beside, we have vastly different lifespans.
Iruka: I know, then think about.
Yubiki: Even if I did, it wouldn't be anytime soon.
She said dropping her head in disbelief.
Iruka: Even still, I never imagined that my first time would be so wonderful.
Yubiki: Uh, you were a virgin?
Iruka: Uh, yeah.
Yubiki: Pfftt.... Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Yubiki erupted into laughter at Iruka's side as he leapt up in confusion and embarrassment.
Iruka: What?
Yubiki: You said you never loved another woman, but I didn't know you meant you'd never been with one at all, no wonder.
Iruka: That's funny to you?
Yubiki: Not funny, just said, Hahahahahaha.
Iruka frownd and then formed a smile as he leaned to Yubiki's ear.
Iruka: Well, this virgin made you cum.
Yubiki immediately froze, a massive blush on her face. Yubiki quickly pulled back and looked around with swirling eyes before shouting.
Yubiki: I-I faked it, I didn't want you to feel bad!
Iruka: I may not have much experience, but I'm sure that when you snap an entire tree in half in sexual pleasure, that's an orgasm.
Yubiki blushed deeper and gazed at said tree.
Yubiki: That was already like that.
Iruka: You're being Tsundere again.
Yubiki: What the hell does that mean?
Iruka: Nothing, Yubiki, will you stay with me, I mean, will you go out with me?
Yubiki:....................What is this, high school?
Iruka: Look, I don't now how to put, asking you to be my girlfriend seems even more childish, so will you be my lover.
Yubiki:....If I'm bored enough.
She responded looking away from the man beside her. Iruka pulled her into an embrace and said silently into her ear.
Iruka: I love you.
Yubiki:......Yeah.
Was the only resonse he recieved. After a few minutes passed, they found themselves at the village gates, looking at both Genma and Naki, both of which were smiling at them knowingly. Why? Because Yubiki couldn't look them in the eye and Iruka was wearing a big, "I just got laid" smile. They didn't speak, but they could tell what had happened in that dark forest, after all, both Iruka and Yubiki had messed up hair, hastily thrown on clothes and dirt covering their bodies, it didn't take a genius to figure it out.
Yubiki: If either of you says a word, I'll kill you where you stand.
Genma: I didn't say anything, did you?
He said looking at Naki who shrugged his shoulders.
Naki: No, but I'm definitely thinking it strongly.
Yubiki: Don't even think that, nothing happened.
Genma: We believe you, don't we Naki?
Naki: My lips do, but my mind doesn't.
He said with an amused smile, pretty much asking for Yubiki to end his life. With a frown, she pushed passed them and quickly made her way to Naruto's apartment. She only had time to shower and change before Naruto had returned, smiling at the change in his mother's mood. Hinata's return home wasn't as bright, as Hiashi wasted no time noticing the blood soaked clothes she tried to get rid of. This was easily averted as Hinata told him what Naruto did to the boy, but was banned from leaving the village until he felt it neccessary. Hanabi happily returned to school with her friends, who were all staring at their widely smiling teacher.
Iruka: And that's how it's done.
He said finishing his lecture, until Yukari blurted out what everyone was thinking.
Yukari:.....Sensei, that smile is creepy as all hell.
Iruka: Well, I'm just that happy.
Hanabi stared at him for a second before she asked aloud.
Hanabi: Did you get laid?
Iruka froze and snapped his chalk, sweating like he had been thrown into a fire.
Iruka: Do you know what you just asked me?
Hanabi: No, but I know that when people get "laid" they're always happy.
Some of Hanabi's classmates started to blush, meaning that while she didn't know what it meant, some of the others did. Yukari tried to stop Hanabi from asking that question, but now there was nothing she could do about it and Nami held her fist up in front of her face as she stared on, curious to know what her Sensei would say.
Iruka: Maybe we should get back to the lecture.
He said turning back around as his students stared holes into his back.
Hanabi: ..........So you did?
Iruka snapped his chalk once again and turned back to his class.
Iruka: You know what, class is dismissed, go play outside or something.
It didn't take two seconds for the entire class to clear out. Iruka dropped his head with a sigh before walking down the long hallway into the light of day.
(Flash)
JJ: So how as it being hokage?
Yubiki: Pretty much what you'd expect, I'm just glad I get to go back to being just regular old me again.
She said as she stretched, bones cracking as she did so.
JJ: That doesn't sound good, did you sleep on a rock or something?
Yubiki: Uhhhhh.
She said shifting her eyes from side to side.
Naruto: Maybe you should've come with me, you could have always used the bed in my seal.
Iruka: Why are kids so smart nowadays?
He mumbled as he made his way up the street. Yubiki's feet stopped moving the second she saw him and Iruka's face brighten the second he saw her.
Iruka: Yubiki-san!
He shouted as he ran toward her, but the second he started moving for her, she took off in the opposite direction. Iruka stared at her and smiled on as he walked slowly after her.
JJ: Was she blushing?
Naruto: What was that about?
JJ stopped for a second and held his chin before he looked back up with a knowing smile.
JJ: I see.
Naruto: See what?
JJ: Nothing, weren't you supposed to be doing something?
Naruto: Oh, yeah. Hentai-jiichan told me to train in the forest with Gamabunta. See you later.
JJ: Yeah.
He said waving off as he ran his own way, then his face cleared
JJ: Now, I have to get miss runaway.
He said stuffing his hands in his pockets. It took a full ten minutes to gather everyone he was looking for, all standing in the hokage's office, waiting for him to begin what he had called them for. Hinata, Hanabi, Mika, Hiashi, Yubiki, Tsunade, Kagura, Claire, Shizune, and Jiraiya all stood staring at the boy in the middle of the room.
JJ: Let's begin with something simple first, when we were out, we ran into Orochimaru and Insuru. Two people we probably wouldn't have been able to handle on normal terms, but because of Orochimaru's lack of control over his entire body, that made him easier to handle. As of this moment, we have confirmed that Orochimaru isn't a threat. That being said, it is only matter of time before he can overcome the curse placed on him, that means if we must prepare for whatever happens, or find a way to off him before he can fix his little problem.
Tsunade: Impossible, the second he left it was like his presence disappeared.
JJ: I know, which means we can't take him out until he makes a move. However, because of the curse, he's desperate, meaning that at some point, he'll resurface, then we'll take him out. Then there's Zikan Touketsu or Chronos as we know him.
Yubiki: Zikan?
JJ: Yeah, from what I've heard, he's the son of the god of time and the goddess of ice. For some reason, Naruto was able to beat him before he could show off his true power, what he showed when he stopped Orochimaru. Zikan never went all out, because he underestimated Naruto, then he wound up not being able to at all because Naruto completely overtook him. Had he been going all out, Naruto probably still would've won.
He said folding his arms in a matter-of-factly way, causing everyone else to sweatdrop at his words.
JJ: Hey, it's a big brother's job to believe in his little brother. Even still, knowing that Naruto was unable to kill him means that he'll reappear somewhere down the road and create a problem. However, this problem has become Naruto's alone so we don't need to worry about that. Now on to what I gathered you all here for
Kagura: Don't tell me, it's something about the kid isn't it?
JJ: You guessed it. You see, every one of you are tightly tied to Naruto. Meaning that it's pivotal that you all know what I have to say. Jiraiya, can you begin?
Jiraiya: Gladly. Before I was told to head back to the giant plain everyone had decided to turn into a battle feild, I was out gathering information on the Akatsuki and what I found out was rather disturbing, yet confusing.
Hiashi: How so?
Jiraiya: They're trying to gain the powers of the bijuu, in order to do this, they need to gather the Jinchuuriki and extract the beasts from them by using a forbidden jutsu, however, using this will kill the person being exorcised.
Shizune: So they're power hungry, what's so confusing about that?
Jiraiya: They came after Naruto. And as we can all see, the Kyuubi is sitting right in front of us.
Hinata: Right, then they have no reason to pursue Naruto-kun.
Hanabi: Maybe they don't know that Yubiki-san is free.
Jiraiya: We're not dealing with amatuers here, they've no doubt done their research. They know Yubiki is free.
Tsunade: If that's their plan then they should be pursuing Yubiki right?
Yubiki: That would be a stupid and wasteful venture, no normal human, no matter their number can take me down so easily.
Hiashi: I see, using the method Orochimaru did with Neko, Naruto would be a sufficient substitute for Yubiki.
Jiraiya: That's what I thought too, until I spoke to Norugi about it, then we discovered something alarming.
Claire: That being?
Jiraiya closed his eyes and turned to JJ, the one who put the entire thing together.
JJ: Yubiki, is obsolete compared to Naruto.
Everyone except Jiraiya stared on in shock, confused beyond words.
Yubiki: What does that mean?
JJ: Naruto is known as the forbidden one, by all the transcendant beings. Even if a god and demon were to marry, no child can result from their union. Then there is the blood between that is needed.
Hanabi: The blood of a human?
JJ: Yes, in this way, a child with the blood of the gods and a demon can be born. Naruto is not the first case of this happening, but each time, the child has been purged from the world.
Hinata: They killed them?
JJ: In simpler words, yes.
JJ looked at the face filled with disapproval for that method, but nothing could be done about what happened in the past. Closing his eyes to them, JJ continued.
JJ: There are many reasons why Naruto wasn't purged like the others. After many years, the demon blood in the Uzumaki clan had died down. So there was nothing to worry about, but then there was Yubiki being sealed inside of him.
Yubiki: Killing Naruto, would've meant killing me.
JJ: That would be like asking for another war, Naruto couldn't be touched. And even then, his demon gene was reccessive at best.
Mika: Then he released her.
JJ: Yeah, and then that gene began to rapidly grow, making his demon blood more powerful. Freeing Yubiki would have made him open for attack, but something else happened.
Yubiki: He became my heir.
JJ: And so the problem returned. If the gods attacked Naruto at this point, that'd bring war from Yubiki's hand. Openly violating the treaty.
Hiashi: But this is something we already know.
JJ: Okay, then let me get to the point. Naruto once told me about the trees he planted in the room under the Hyuuga complex. How are those trees now?
Hiashi: They died when Naruto left.
JJ: My point being, Naruto kept those trees alive.
Hiashi: Yes.
JJ: That's impossible.
He said bringing the realization to everyone around him.
JJ: Even if chakra can heal or restore wounds or even bring those who have left us back to life. There is a need for life to already exist before hand. Trees are living things, they need water, soil, and sunlight to grew strong, yet this boy was able to use his chakra to substistute that. Naruto's unique chakra, can sustain life. Simply by using only his chakra he was able to make for the tree's lack of essential nutrients.
This revelation completely overtook all who listened, it was something they had never even heard of before.
JJ: He is something that has only been dreamed of before, a walking, breathing mystery. What we have gathered, is that Naruto is more valuable than Yubiki. If they are to gain Naruto and drain his chakra from him, Naruto will die, but something else will be born. Because of the human blood in his veins the being created will have a human vessel, but possess the strength of both sides. With their goal, do you know what that being would be?
Tsunade: The perfect Jinchuuriki.
JJ: Exactly, if they could control something of that magnitude, nothing would be able to stand against. Not the humans, the demons, or the gods. Everything in existence will be brought to their knees. I gathered you all here to learn this horrible truth, so that you all may know. Naruto, must not know of his destiny, yet even as he walks around blissfully unaware, Naruto Uzumaki holds the fate of the world on his shoulders.
Gamabunta swung down at Naruto who jumped out of the way and sneezed. That moment of distraction was all it took for Gamabunta to land a solid hit on him, knocking him roughly to the ground.
Gmabunta: You need to pay more attention!
He shouted in a mighty voice that shook the entire forest.
Naruto: I am paying attention dammit!!!!
He shouted, throwing himself back to his feet.
Naruto: You won't get another hit like that.
Naruto leapt into the air toward the giant toad as his eyes flared red in mid-air.
(JJ: This is the most important mission we will likely ever take on. Naruto Uzumaki must live.)
(Music cue: Yellow moon (Akeboshi) by Saurus)
The next day the village square had been filled, all gathered to look up at the mighty figure standing atop the hokage tower, smiling down at the many people below her. The sunlight brilliantly shining behind her, casting her shadow on everything below. The sound of the wind hitting the mighty mountain behind the blonde hokage echoed in acceptance, making it known, that a new leader had been named, here and now, the lea village had once again, found peace. Once Tsunade removed the veil over her face all stood in awe of the blonde beauty above them, as her brown eyes, filled with purity, assured them, she would protect them to her dying breath. As Naruto stared up, completely unaware of the importance his name held, he smiled at Tsunade, happy that he was able to smile so completely, maybe this is what she had always wanted, but never knew it.
Chapter 17 end
______________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________
Naruto : You want me to do what?
JJ: You're the only one who can, so stop bitching.
Naruto: Nah-Hah.
JJ: Yah-hah.
Naruto: Nah-hah.
JJ: Yah-hah.
Mika: What're you guys? Five?
Raizen: Hey don't hog all the screen time!
Sakura: Yeah some of us are going to be in the next chapter too.
JJ: Tough, we're the main characters.
Naruto: I'm still not doing it.
JJ: We'll see.
Next time on Eyes piercing the darkness: Before the storm: Espionage and treasure hunting.
Naruto: How did it end up like this!?
JJ: Just go with it.
Naruto: NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Sorry this took so long, it was because I had been going back and re-reading my old chapters and updating them for reposting. Not chaing anything, just fix errors or paragraphs. Also I've been working on RN4: REvival. I'll be done with the first chapter to that soon. Besides that, I've been working on ways to beef up this chapter, but it took longer than expected. I'm mostly just glad it's done, because the storm begins after the next chapter. For those who follow the story, you know what the storm is, we all know anyway on to the omake.
Omake theater open!
Canon Omake #1: Iruka's dream.
Iruka's mind escaped into a world of bliss, his dream filled with flowers and beautiful rainbows, but suddenly the entire world grew dark and shook at the hail of lightning falling to the ground. Iruka stared out at the sudden change and gulped down as he felt a presence behind him.
Iruka: Who's there!?
He shouted trying to sound as brave as he could, but once he saw the person's face, he froze. There was a long silence, lasting for about two whole minutes before the other person spoke.
Neko: DUDE!!!!!!!!
Iruka: Uh, this, uh, um........This is exactly what it looks like.
Neko: Dude!!!!!!
Iruka: I know, this a is a clear violation of the bro code.
Neko: This breaks the whole fucking handbook! You had your DICK, in my MOM!!!!!
Iruka: I know man, not cool, but you have to admit, your mom is a MILF.
Neko: DUDE!!!!
He shouted once again as he stepped forward, forcing Iruka to slowly withdraw.
Neko: Stop moving, I have to break your jaw.
Iruka: Wait this is a dream, you can't break my jaw.
Neko: No, I was told that I get one reality shot, so if I were to break your legs here, they'll be broke when you wake up.
Iruka: Wait, how are you an adult now?
He asked finally taking note that his childhood friend was roughly six inches taller than him. Neko smiled and looked down at himself.
Neko: I was seventy years old when I died, I was always able to be this age. It just would've been weird if I showed up looking like this with mom looking like she was in her twenties, people would question it. So I altered my appearance to make it seem more natural. Wait....Don't change the subject.
Iruka: I wasn't really doing that. You know I love your mom, so don't worry.
Neko: That's not the problem.
Iruka: I know, but think about it, either way, if she's happy, shouldn't that be enough?
Neko: Look, the more you talk the more I want to kill you.
Iruka: Shutting up now.
Neko: Good.
He said as he placed his hand on Iruka's shoulder.
Neko: Never expect me to call you dad, don't force that on Naruto either, and if you ever break my mom's heart, I'll make sure that one hit I get is a deathblow.
Iruka: I understand.
Neko: I mean it, you can't even die.
Iruka: That's impossible.
Neko: Well make it possible, because if you die I'll kill you.
Iruka: That's even more impossible.
Neko: Dead people can die, don't you ever watch bleach?
Iruka: What's it like, being dead?
Neko: Fun, it's a whole lot funner than you'd think, but I still miss the days when we used to hang out.
Iruka: Yeah.
He said as the ground below them turn into a village. Both smiled at each other, now in the form of children. With eyes filled with wonder then ran off into the village in hopes of reviving the days long since past. When Iruka woke up, he stared at the beautiful woman at his side, remembering the promise he didn't need to make. Even if hell itself came down on him, he'd never do anything to hurt this woman.
Canon/Omake #2: Affection in a box.
JJ sat deathly still, staring down at a small box of food, wide open, yet only a small portion had been eaten. Naruto walked behind him and stared down, curious to his friend's blank state.
Naruto: What's wrong with you?
He asked as Kiba, Raizen, and Neji walked behind him.
JJ: Mika made me a bento.
He said with a sour look.
Kiba: Isn't that a good thing?
Akamaru walked forward and stepped toward the lunchbox then sniffed it.
Akamaru: Arp!!!!
He shouted as he tripped over his own feet, yapping as if someone had poured scolding hot water on his nose. That one action was enough to send a wave on understanding over the others.
Neji: Why don't you throw it away and say you ate it?
Naruto: Because this probably the first time Mika's ever shown affection.
JJ slowly nodded to what Naruto said and frowned down at the food inside.
Kiba: Then maybe you should eat it, if you really love her then it shouldn't be a problem.
JJ turned back to Kiba and lifted the bento into his palm.
JJ: This is gonna take a lot of love to finish. I don't know if it's physically possible to have this much love.
Neji frowned at JJ's words and picked up a piece of rice from the bento and ate it. All stared at him, waiting for a reaction, but Neji froze in place, unmoving. Neji dropped his eyes and said with pure malice.
Neji: Throw that in the deepest hole you can find.
Naruto: That bad?
Neji: Worse, burn it.
JJ: Hey, this is my girlfriend's cooking you're talking about.
He said breaking up the bomb session. JJ stared at the box once again and then sighed.
JJ: First form: Dragon!
He shouted as he transformed into the ten foot behemoth, making Naruto stare on in disbelief. JJ lifted the bento over his head and dropped all of the food into his mouth.
Naruto: You needed to transform just to eat it?
JJ didn't answer, once he finished his food his eyes rolled back and he dropped to the ground as two letters appeared over his body "K.O.". Naruto tried his best to move his older brother, but he was out, and he wasn't going to wake up anytime soon.
Kiba: Akamaru remind me to learn how to cook for myself someday.
He said down at his young familiar as he nodded back up to him.
Canon/Omake #3: Impossible.
Neji stared up at Gai, barely listening to what the man was saying. It had about five minutes since Ishi had bumped into them and suggested tht they spend the day with them. From the tatters of dialogue he had heard, this was to celebrate him beating Kakashi and tying up their scores, probably because Kakashi cared less than he did at the moment. Now their score had been tied once again at 51-51 and it was only a matter of time, in Gai's words, before he overtook his eternal rival. In Neji's mind, all voices around him turned into a repeating sound of "Blah", from whoever was saying something, until at one moment, it all stopped. Curious to the random silence, Neji turned to Gai, who was staring at a single woman in an out door restaurant. Gai's face went red and his palms grew sweaty, with determination he said to the side.
Gai: I'm going to need all of the youth you can muster if I am to court that beautiful spring flower.
Lee: Go for it Gai-sensei. I know you can do it.
He said as he pumped his fist, cheering his sensei on.
Neji: This is gonna be good.
Tenten: Oh man, she's gonna shot him down faster than Lee with the weights off.
Lee: Don't jinx Gai-sensei, he can do this.
Neji: I don't know where your confidence comes from, but it's misplaced in this situation.
Tenten: Uh-huh.
Ishi: Come on guys, you're talking through the best part.
Kakashi: Yes, I wanna see what happens.
All of the children to turned to Kakashi with exaggerated shock at his sudden arrival. Not paying any mind to the children, Kakashi returned his gaze to his "rival" with an expecting smile.
Gai: Hello Miss, I'm sorry, but I became strangely enticed by your raidiant hair, and glowing with the light of a thousand suns. I wanted to know if you'd do me the honor of being my companion on this fine evening.
He said smiling, showing off his pure whites. The woman chuckled then turned around to him, giving him a clear look at her face.
Kagura: It's been a while, Maito.
Gai: Why Kagura, I had no idea you had returned.
Kagura: I knew it had to be you though, no one else would say something that cheesy.
Gai: Well, if that how you remember me, then I must have left an impression.
Kagura: Oh you left one all right. So what are you doing these days?
Gai took it upon himself to take a seat across from Kagura.
Gai: Well, I've become a squad leader, I teach my student the ways of youth.
Neji: Like hell you do!
Kagura: What was that?
Gai: That was just Neji, he can be rather unwilling at times, but he's a good kid.
Kagura: So you're a sensei, maybe I should become one, well at some point. You seem to be doing well, after all, you have a son now.
She said gazing over at Lee.
Gai: Lee, is my son, but he isn't.
Kagura: So he's like a son?
Gai: He's the one I chose to inherit the my ninja way.
Kagura: Then why is he hurt?
Gai: ....Long story.
Kagura: Oh well, maybe another time.
She said standing up from her seat.
Kagura: It's been fun, but I have to go.
Gai: Wait, maybe I could-
Kagura: Sorry, but I have to help Tsunade-sama get settled in.
Gai: Alright.
He said dropping his shoulders in defeat, making Neji and Kakashi sigh in pity.
Kagura: But-
She said bringing back hope into the situation.
Kagura: I'm not doing anything tomorrow, why don't we meet up then.
Gai's eyes sparkled and he stood tall in his good guy pose.
Gai: You have my word.
Kagura chuckled and said shortly before walking away.
Kagura: I can't wait to catch up with you, Maito-kun.
The world stopped, no one ever noticed that the entire restuarant, not just Tenten, Neji, and Kakashi, but most of the villagers had gathered around to see Gai get shot down, but instead, things went well. The impossible had happened, Maito Gai, had gotten a date.
Kakashi: It's the apocalypse!!!!!
Neji: Oh god, run for your lives!!!!!
At his words, everyone scattered, running home to be with their loved ones in their final moments. Gai stared on and asked silently.
Gai: What's wrong with them?
Ishi: Too little faith.
She said with a smile. Gai had just broken his tie, Gai-52 Kakashi-51.
Canon/Omake #4: The big question.
Iruka sat smiling in a small restuarant, slowly eating his food. In his blissful state, he never noticed that he was suddenly surrounded by other adult shinobi all wondering the same question.
Asuma: Hey, um, did you and Yubiki have sex?
He asked finally saying what was on everyone's mind. At that question the restuarant fell quiet, no one moved, no one breathed, all they did was stare at Iruka, waiting for his answer. Iruka choked, of course he wanted to brag, he had just had sex for the first time, and it was with a queen, a SS class demon, the most powerful woman in the village, an he had made her cum. He earned those bragging rights, but as a man, sometimes the bragging rights must be hidden away or else you come across as a douche. Knowing this, Iruka had to come up with something quick.
Iruka: No.
Naki: Really, then what happened out there?
Iruka: Well, Yubiki was distraught, so she decided to go hunting.
His explaination came with crudely drawn illustrations.
Iruka: Remember, she said that's how calmed down.
Kakashi: Right.
Iruka: So I went out there to check up on her. When I found out what she was doing, I decided to help her, and our target was a small rabbit. This rabbit was quick, and we wound up chasing it everywhere, and because of all the running, and occasional slip-up, we wound up sweaty and muddy.
Anko: Uh-huh.
Iruka: Then we cornered the rabbit, but before we could catch it, it jumped into a small hole. Yubiki refused to use her powers to catch it, so she reached down into the hole and grabbed for the rabbit, pulling it slowly up, but in the end it got deeper into the hole, so I came up with a plan and I dropped a smoke bomb down into the hole to force it out, and once the smoke rose from the hole, the rabbit limply came out. Triumphantly holding the rabbit, Yubiki smiled and then gently let it go. Then before we knew it, it was late and due to all of the exercise we had, we got tired and fell asleep on a nearby rock.
Iruka folded his arms after finishing his explaination as everyone around sweatdropped at him. After a moment of looking at each other Kurenai finally asked again.
Kurenai: So you had sex.
Iruka: Wha? No, we just chased the rabbit then collapsed, dog tired on a rock.
Once again, everyone looked at each other and then back to Iruka.
Genma: So you had sex.
He repeated. Iruka snapped and stood up from his table before shouting out.
Iruka: What's so sexual about wrestling with a rabbit in a tight hole, then forcing him out in a cloud of white smoke?
The way he explained that time sounded so inappropriate that it caused most of the listeners to chuckle. Iruka shook in rage and shouted.
Iruka: Grow up!!!!
With that said, Iruka stormed from the restuarant, never paying for his meal.
Naki: They totally had sex.
All: Uh-huh.
They all said in unison, staring at the dor that Iruka had just left through.
Omake theater close!
JJ: It's been a long time coming, but welcome all to-
All: Character introduction corner.
Sakura: Man it feels so good to be at this part of the chapter.
Ino: Yeah it means we're almost done.
JJ: And we have another special guest today. My own teacher, Claire-sensei.
Claire: Well it's about time I was invited, I've been here long enough.
Ino: Well, tell us your stats to begin with Claire-sensei.
Claire: Alright.
Strength: 10
Endurance: 20
Speed: 11
Chakra: 14
Weapon skill: 16.
Taijutsu: 15
Genjutsu: 5
Ninjutsu: Beyond comprehension.
Ino:.......Um.
Sakura: Was one of your stats "Beyond comprehension?"
Claire: Yeah, why?
Ino: What kind of jutsu do you know exactly?
Claire: Well, there's the elavated level of medical ninjutsu I know. Because of my family's forbidden techniques, healing wounds is the very least of my prowess as a medical nin.
JJ: There's also that technique.
Sakura: What technique is that?
Claire: Because of my skill and talent as a medic nin, I've developed a technique I call the toumei battousai. It's a thin wire created from concentrated chakra formed literally hundreds of streams that can cut with the power of a samurai sword. Truly, I've never found and armor I couldn't cut through, not even JJ's dragon skin can withstand it. It only takes 0.1 seconds for me to release them and disperse them into the entire area. This also allows me to use them in taijutsu attacks as well. I named this techinque after a famed samurai from japan's meiji period. Even using the powerful technique doesn't have much of a cost to my own chakra. Because of this technique, I have never lost a fight. Besides that I also have my family's special summons.
Sakura: You mean the dogs and the guy in the coat?
Claire: There are others, but I won't get into that yet. And then there's also the fact that I can't be infected by any strain of sickness, be it poison or even a simple cold.
Ino: Is it true that you raised JJ?
Calire: When he was in the village yeah.
Sakura: What was he like as a kid?
Claire: The same, only a lot more perverted.
She said throwing the boy a sideways glare.
Claire: Because of the fact that I was raising him, I was often the victim of his little preverted escapades.
Ino: Well, boy's are normally perverted.
Claire: Yeah, some more than others.
JJ: Oh com'n you were just special, because you were always around.
He said in a matter-of-factly way.
Claire: Remember this girls, if you find a lost kid in the forest, let him rot.
Bing bong bing.
JJ: Time once again for 4th wall breaking moment.
Claire: Where the hell did that chime come from?
Sakura: I don't even know.
JJ: When I made RN4 I came up with JJ's persona during the writting process, but I always had Claire in mind to look after him, because she was the only person in Resident evil who ever showed motherhood skills, seeing as she looked after Sherry. When I first came up with this group, JJ's teammates were always the same. Trigger, Leon, Claire, JJ, that was always how I wanted it. It also let me invite along another character who was already in Konoha on RN:AC. Claire was added into this story to be kind of a deus ex machina, someone who no matter what happened, could heal the main characters' wounds. This is Tsunade, but her powers were limited, I needed someone who defied logic, seeing as the enemies were going to be drastically stronger than they were in the canon storyline. Claire is an important part of this story and she is also one of my favorite characters, mostl;y because she's so neutral on most things, like not helping her team. Claire is a fun character have around, and I want to make her far more active later in the story, after all, she is kinda like my mom.
Claire: Don't call me a mom!!!!!
Sakura: If you look at her like a mom, then why do you, act all perverted with her?
JJ: Because, at the end of the day, she's not, which means she's fair game.
Claire: And that's the answer I've always gotten.
Ino: Well, that's it for today.
JJ: And remember, if you have any questions, just PM me, and I'll answer them all.
Claire: And to all those readers out there-
All: Shine eternal!
Now that this is done, on to the next one, see you later everybody.
