A/N: Well here is the long overdue chapter of Power of Three. I'm not going to stall you any further so get reading!
I Do Not Own Naruto
-----------------------------------------------
Naruto's blood froze as the sirens blew louder and louder. Even Hachibi looked frightened at what was going on while Eyes stayed in the shadows, seeming to be perfectly calm.
The blonde didn't even hesitate as he went for the door when Eye spoke up. "Where do you think you are going boy?"
Hissing darkly, the pale skinned blonde viciously turned around and glared at the man covered in shadows. "Where do you think? I'm going to hell my friends and keep her from putting her filthy hands on Yugito!"
Eyes stayed still as he allowed Naruto turned from him and headed for the door. Suddenly, the door disappeared as if it was never there making Naruto stop. "I cannot allow that. You would be walking into a death trap with no chance of winning… I am offering you a chance of defeating her. Now I will say this again, do you have what it takes to wait for what is needed to save those you love… Or will you sacrifice yourself for nothing? The ball is in your court now, so decide what you are going to do."
The door rematerialized in front of the blonde. This made Naruto hiss louder then before as he was ready to walk out and try to help everyone. Once again he was stopped, however, this time it was by Hachibi as she wrapped a tail around his waist. "Naruto, as much I don't want to admit it, the only one that can do anything right now is Eyes… And he's offering you a way to save everyone, so please listen."
Every fiber in Naruto's body told him to go and save his mate from her fate as he could feel the fox clearer then ever before. His entire body froze as the power was absolutely incredible and nothing like it was before. It was as if it had multiplied by almost a hundred fold.
"This is Kyuubi's power with only six tails… If she gets both you and your mate… Well she'll have nine tails and then she'll be arrogant enough to attack the Akatsuki to try and obtain the last tail and become the legendary ten tail demon.” Eyes told Naruto as he could sense the boy's fear was climbing ever so quickly as Kyuubi's power spiked. "Currently she is fighting both Orochimaru and Tsunade but it won't take long for her to beat them and head towards your mate. Do as I say and you can save her and everyone here."
Naruto closed his eyes as he didn't want to lose her as he finally was in a place that would not care if they were together. Furthermore, if he lost both of his teammates, who he brought with him, his heart would be even heavier and he knew he wouldn't be able to handle that guilt. And finally, if Orochimaru and Tsunade were both killed by the fox then there was no possibility of inheriting the snake's power and living up to what he was just told.
"What do I have to do…? To save my family?" Naruto answered slowly as he wasn't all too sure that he could wait and let people sacrifice themselves just to find a way to defeat the nine tails.
Eyes nodded before shaking his head. "You will only have to wait here for little less than one hour as I've already told you I'm transferring the spell to you as of this moment. However, I do not plan on keeping you here for one hour to do nothing but of what I will have you do I am unsure."
Hachibi smiled sadly at Naruto as she held onto her necklace. She knew this was going to be tough for Naruto and she knew Eyes wasn't going to make this easy. She could only hope that Naruto didn't snap and leave before it was over. Releasing her tail from Naruto's waist, she walked back towards Eyes before moving behind his throne and began rummaging for something. "All we can do is wait; there is nothing else to be done.”
Naruto's face fell as he heard this. He was going to have to wait in this dark, abyss-like place for an entire hour while his village was under attack just to be able to defeat the attacker.
He clenched his fist tightly in anger and was ready pound on something when he suddenly found a book thrown into his face. Barely managing to catch the book, he looked over at Hachibi as he got a good look at the title. "And what the hell is this for Hachi?!"
"What Eyes didn't tell you was that this spell requires you to know this language as it is possibly one of the most ancient languages on our planet. You do not know of it our how to speak it and I doubt Eyes will be so kind to download that information to you as well."
"Hey, I'm doing my part so shut up and teach him." Eyes defended himself without even raising the volume of his voice or sounding somewhat emotional.
Hachibi ignored him as she continued to speak. "So for the next hour, I will be giving you a crash course on how to read and speak Latin. Now let us begin." And with that, she forced Naruto into the chair that Eyes had created for him earlier.
Naruto could only blink at Hachibi for a moment as she said this but did not question her as he could see the look on her face. While he really did not want to do this, there was no choice in the matter. He was going to have to learn it other he could lose everyone that was precious to him.
Now if he could just understand what the hell the scribblings in the book were.
-----------------------------------------------
Oro chimaru knew this wasn't good. Oh he knew this wasn't good. The last time the alarms went off was because the leader of the Akatsuki had found his little hideout and decided to level it.
With one attack.
Now, he knew this wasn't him and was glad for that. However, he would rather take that man on a hundred times then what was attacking his village.
Kyuubi no Kitsune.
He wasn't sure why the fox was attacking as he knew Eyes was here and if she tried anything against him he would smite her in a second. But he knew that she wasn't here because of him. She was here for Naruto and Yugito to regain her tails before going after the bigger threat; the Akatsuki.
Looking over his shoulder, he could see Tsunade was nervous as well and he couldn't blame her. For the fox to be so brazen was quite frightening as it meant she had regained a good portion of her power and that by no means was a good thing. If she had any more then five tails, there wasn't a chance in hell that they could stop her. They could stall her, but not stop her.
Of course there was one ace up his sleeve that could stall her, but it appeared that he was nowhere to be seen.
"Dammit… Where is that bastard and his fiancée when I need them?!" Orochimaru cursed out loud as he and Tsunade turned the corner to see the one being he wasn't looking forward to running into even though the said being was the one they were searching for.
Tsunade nearly threw up as Kyuubi threw the lifeless corpse of one of their sound ninja against the wall and blood splattered all three of them. But to make it worse all the corpses of shinobi that had tried to stop her were all lined up behind the vixen and the corridor was almost entirely paved in blood.
"Oh, are you talking about the Bloody Wave? Eh, I doubt he'll come after I kicked his ass last time. Then again, the bastard just doesn't learn. I put him through a few trees, made him feel like a meteor impacting the world, sliced him up, broke dozens of bones and nearly drowned him to death. If that doesn't put it in his head that he can't stop me, nothing will." Kyuubi taunted Orochimaru while making fun off the person that Orochimaru was cursing before they turned the corner.
Orochimaru did not comment as he already knew this and did not like the situation at all. He had designed the corridors so he would have the advantage against pretty much anyone as it limited speed and mobility for any normal person, Jiraiya included. However, this was one of the few beings that it made no difference to as he didn't have a shot in hell of beating her.
Catching Tsunade's eye, he nodded as he took a step back as he glared at the fox demon. "Bitch, you will pay for invading my village. Tsunade, DO IT!"
Without a second warning, Tsunade's smashed her fist into the corridor's wall and the entire under ground building shook violently from the impact. Suddenly, the corridors began to collapse and onto them, however Orochimaru seemed to have been prepared for this as he went through a few hand seals and formed a dome of stone around both himself and Tsunade as the rubble fell onto the fox demon.
Inside the dome, Orochimaru kept his chakra flowing into it to keep it from crumbling from the pressure of the falling debris. The weight that was being placed on the dome was tremendous on its own and it didn't help that some of the falling debris weighed around a ton. But he held as he felt the dome beginning to be completely covered.
Once he felt the rubble had stopped, he looked over towards Tsunade before they both slid into the upper wall of the dome just as it fell into itself. Both appeared in the ruins of the hallway and rooms they had destroyed.
Taking a quick look around, Tsunade closed her eyes seeing the amount of blood underneath the rubble of the rooms. "There would people still there…"
"They were already dead Tsunade!" Orochimaru countered as he looked towards the moving rubble where he knew the fox had been capture by as he started a chain of seals. "And even if there was some alive, the chance of saving them were minimal at best. If you want to do something about it, help me stop this bitch now otherwise their deaths will be meaningless!"
Tsunade looked at Orochimaru oddly as he said that before turning away. She didn't want to see her people's lives taken but this was one of those times there needed to be sacrifices. They had to protect Naruto and Yugito at all cost from being captured by the weakened nine-tails.
"Doton: Retsudotensho!" Orochimaru called out as he slammed his palms into the rubble as more and more pieces began to shake violently.
The shaking suddenly stopped as the ground began to spiral into itself with such intensity that a piercing grinding noise as heard as the ground grated against itself. But it soon became apparent why as the spiraling ground began to crack and fall apart as red chakra began to seep from the cracks that were being created.
Backing up and putting his arms in front of his face to shield himself, the entire area exploded with red chakra and millions of shards of earth. In the middle of it, a lone female figure floated in the middle of it as she rose from the rubble she was previously entrapped in.
Orochimaru's blood froze as he knew there was no chance for victory. Even with Tsunade at his side, they would not win this battle. He could have never imagined the different between five and six tails to be this great. He felt truly helpless in front of such a powerful opponent and began to doubt that he could even stall her.
Feeling a hand grasp his, he hissed lightly from the pain but it broke him out of his self doubts as he turned to Tsunade. Smiling softly at her, he turned back towards the glowing figure as the chakra began to collect and gather itself towards its owner. "Thank you hime… I needed that. Now let's make sure we can give Eyes enough time."
"So you have no delusions that we can defeat her." Tsunade said more then she really questioned as they continued looking at the figure within the chakra.
Orochimaru simply nodded before taking Tsunade's hand and kissing it gently. "The chances are stacked against us, but there is an every so small chance of succeeding and stopping her and keeping that spell from being used."
"What spell would that be, mortal?! I know of none that can affect me as I still have my ninth tail and immunity to such an ancient power." Kyuubi's voice echoed as she floated in the air with her tails hanging beneath her with no trace of the chakra she used to free herself from the collapse.
Orochimaru merely spat in the direction of the fox demon as Tsunade answered for him. "Like we would tell you, demon slut! Now leave our lands before we use deadly force!"
Kyuubi merely wagged her finger at the both of them as she slowly floated back down to earth. "My, my, my. What feisty spirits the two of you have despite knowing that you cannot win this battle. …Tell you what, I'll make a deal with the two of you since I rather not erase two such genuinely feisty people, not unlike myself, from this world."
Both Orochimaru and Tsunade merely narrowed their eyes as Kyuubi's feet touched the ground and she gently set herself down while her tails instinctively lifted up to avoid dragging on the rubble filled ruins. "I will spare the two of you if you tell me what this spell is and where the carriers of my two tails are. I find that a pretty good deals as I would just kill you any other time."
The response she received was not what she wanted to hear as she heard both of their voices simultaneously before the entire area was filled with white smoke. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
As the smoke cleared, Kyuubi didn't even bother looking up as she had known what they had done. "So you opted for death. That is unfortunate, but you leave me with no choice. I will kill you along with your little pets."
"Say what!" Manda hissed loudly at the fox demoness, baring his fangs in anger as he glared at the red headed woman below him. "No one insults my power and gets it away with it! Orochimaru! For this fight, I require no sacrifices and will not eat you as this bitch is going to pay for insulting me!"
"Fine by me, just be ready to devour her carcass once this is over!" Orochimaru spoke back as he stood on top of Manda's head, looking down to the red head below.
Both Katsuya and Tsunade gave the two a long look before Tsunade shook her head and turned her gaze to the vixen. "Don't get cocky you two. The odds of us winning are still very low."
"We'll see about that!" Manda hissed loudly before springing towards Kyuubi with such speed that it was barely visible.
Orochimaru was violently thrown off as Manda came to a sudden stop and skidded across the ground. Quickly getting back onto his feet, he turned towards his summon to see what had happened only for his already pale skin to become even lighter.
Kyuubi had stopped Manda's strike with a single hand gripping the tip of his nose and held his head firmly into the ground. Manda was attempting to push through and snap his jaws onto her but the vixen's hold was too powerful.
The earth below them suddenly shattered as Tsunade jumped off Katsuya and landed with a loud thud. With the sudden lack of stable ground underneath the, Manda had the leverage and pushed Kyuubi up onto the top of his face before flinging her into the air.
Katsuya didn't wait for a better opportunity and unleashed a rain of her acid salvia onto the fox as Manda quickly burrowed underground, avoiding the base. But it was as if she was never there as the fox demoness body seemed to faze from the world as the acid rained down but reappeared just as it finished and landed safely onto the ground without a single burn.
Soon as she landed, Orochimaru lunged towards her and struck her in the face before attempting the compliment the blow with a quick jab to the chest. However, she simply grabbed his wrist before all six of her tails struck towards him like that of a scorpion.
Orochimaru could only smirk as he had bent his body to avoid the strikes of her tail but it quickly left his face as all six tails suddenly wrapped around him in a vice grip and began to squeeze. He began to cough blood almost immediately as the pressure around his body was so incredible that he was sure his entire body was about to collapse in a second.
But he found that the tails went slack as Tsunade had jumped between them and gripped all six tails. Seeing that he husband had been released and broke the grip of the tails, Tsunade tugged with all her strength and just like that, she ripped Kyuubi's tails clean off.
Kyuubi shrieked in pain as her tails happened to be on of her most vulnerable spots and all six had been ripped off at the same time. She jumped back; attempting to distance herself from them so she could recover and regenerate her lost tails when the ground beneath her was torn asunder and Manda flew out and snapped his jaws shut around the nine tailed fox, driving one of his overly large fangs into and through her chest.
Dropping the tails as she saw this, Tsunade could only laugh in relief as she saw Manda beginning to swallow. "Was that it?! I thought this was going to be tougher then that!"
"Hime… This isn't over. We've only pissed her off." Orochimaru responded as he could see Manda's entire body beginning to tremble.
This in turn caught Tsunade's attention and her eyes quickly landed on the giant snake as well before she froze at what she saw.
Manda's bottom jaw was suddenly ripped off as if it was made of paper as a power sphere of red chakra exploded from his mouth. The giant snake screeched and writhed in pain, destroying the nearby forest as his body flailed wildly around.
Both Orochimaru's and Tsunade's bodies tensed as the red orb of chakra landed in front of them before dissipating to reveal Kyuubi with a good chunk of Manda's fang sticking through her chest.
Looking at herself, Kyuubi growled as she had not taken this kind of damage in centuries. Gripping the fang in her chest, she pulled it out without hesitation and threw the blood soaked fang on the ground. As blood began to pour from her chest, she unleashed every ounce of chakra she possessed and coated herself in her malevolent chakra.
Orochimaru put his arms over his face as Tsunade stumbled back as the red chakra erupted around the vixen with the force of a small scaled bomb, scattering dust and small rocks around. Small cuts began to cover their bodies as the rocks were traveling with such velocity that they had to protect their vital organs as if they could puncture through and cause instant death.
As the chakra settled down, Kyuubi became visible once more with her six tails swaying behind her and the hole in her chest had healed over. After quickly checking to make sure everything had regenerated correctly, Kyuubi's dazzling crimson eyes landed on the two sannin as chakra began to gather within her hands. "It's time I stop playing around and kill both of you know."
The both suddenly found themselves being thrown into the air as Kyuubi's tails gripped their ankles and whipped them up as if they were bean bags. However, they were both quickly caught by Katsuya as she saw what the fox was planning on doing. Looking up at her summoner and her lover, she could only smile one last time. "It was nice fighting this final battle with you, Lady Tsunade."
Before they knew it, Katsuya took the full force of the chakra blast that Kyuubi had been charging for. Orochimaru and Tsunade were flung painfully into the ground as the red chakra tore through Katsuya's gelatin like body after absorbed the first ripple of the blast.
Tsunade's eyes widened as she watched her long time friend and summon be torn apart from the intensity of the blast. She didn't hesitate to run towards Katsuya as the slug slumped to the ground. Reaching the slug's corpse, tears began to build in her eyes as she knew this was the end even if she didn't want to believe it. "Katsuya, why?! You didn't have to take the attack for us! We could have gotten out of the way!"
The slug only smiled softly at her summoner as she knew she didn't have much time left. "I did it… Because we need more… time. We couldn't… win this no matter what… But Naruto… He is the key… He always has been…"
"…Give Sakura… My child… To raise her like you… did me. So we slugs… Will have… a bright… future." Katsuya finished even softer as the last of her strength had began to leave her.
Tsunade could only nod at her friends request as her heart clenched and she knew she could not trust her words. Katsuya smile never left her as her last words slowly came. "Thank you… My old friend…"
Kyuubi could only watch the scene with a look of disgust on her face as she saw the slug sannin began crying. "Oh come on. Like your little pet's death could affect you that much. Give me a break! You treat them like they are nothing more then tools of war and don't summon them until you need them. Now put away those tears before I rip your tear ducts out!"
Tightening her fist as the fox spoke, Tsunade's tears began to lessen but they were still there. Slowly beginning to stand up, her chakra began to swirl around her violently as the diamond seal on her forehead released. Turning towards the vixen, Tsunade's eyes shone darkly as she gazed at the demoness before speaking in an icy tone.
"She wasn't a pet to me you God damned bitch. She was my best friend and my partner since I became a kunoichi. She meant more to me then almost everything in this world… And you took her away from me… I will never forgive you for this… And I swear on her grave, that I will stop you!"
Faster then even Orochimaru could see, Tsunade was on Kyuubi and began to wildly attack her. However, even with her controlled anger she could not even land a single blow onto the vixen as she simply weaved in and out of her punches as if they were nothing.
This didn't bother Tsunade as she continued attacking knowing it would only take on chakra packed punch to put an end to the fox demoness' reign of terror. But it seemed to be otherwise as she finally threw a punch the fox could not dodge.
However, Kyuubi simply caught it with no effort whatsoever.
"Is this all?" Kyuubi asked menacingly as her crimson eyes bored into Tsunade's browns forcing the slug sannin to take a step back. "I thought she meant something more to you but if this is all you can muster… That is pathetic. I should just send you to the after life so you can meet up with your pathetic friend."
Orochimaru suddenly jumped into the picture as Kyuubi began to gather chakra like she did before in her free hand. But he never made it as a tail punctured through his gut as another wrapped around his throat, ready to snap his neck.
Seeing the look of fear in Tsunade's eyes as she saw this, Kyuubi could only smirk as she looked over towards the snake sannin. "Oh! So this was the one thing that meant more to you then anything else in this world. Maybe I should take him away from you as well and see how you'll react with him gone as well."
Tsunade attempted to throw another punch but Kyuubi wrapped another one of her tails around her arm keeping it pinned to her side while before she slammed another tail into her ankles, shattering them on contact.
Watching Tsunade scream she held her up by her arms, Kyuubi could only smirk as she turned her attention back to the snake sannin. "Alright, now watch as I kill your man in front of you so that there will be nothing left in your life."
As she said this, Kyuubi frowned as she began to hear the snake sannin begin to laugh at her, despite the pain he was in. Her crimson eyes shone darkly as she looked at him before growling. "What is so funny about that, mortal?!"
Orochimaru continued to laughing louder and louder until it was his natural laugh making the fox demon frown. He didn't care that if he was in tremendous pain or not. He was getting the last laugh in as he looked down at her. "You are so funny… You think that I don't have a back up plan! You foolish demon! I not only have one, I have the ultimate one!"
Kyuubi growled loudly as she heard this and was ready to snap his neck and be done with it. But something about this entire situation was off to her and she wanted to know what. "What is this plan?! What do you know God dammit?!”
Looking down on the panicking vixen, Orochimaru could only laugh some more before his eyes shone brightly. "You will see soon enough… Queen of Demons."
Not liking the emphasis he put on her title, she was ready to rip his head clean off when something happened. A bolt of white lighting pierced through her stomach when a blade sliced through her tails holding Orochimaru and Tsunade off along with her hand holding Tsunade's fist.
The fox demoness shrieked once more as she stumbled back when two figures stood between her and the two sannin. Growling lightly, she began to concentrate on regenerating her wounds. "Akanami! …And you brought your bitch to? My, my, my. You whole little group is here, aren't they?"
Rikimaru said nothing as he looked around before turning to Yugao as his eyes landed on the two sannin. "Take Orochimaru-sama and Tsunade-sama to the medical station. I'll stall her for now."
Yugao merely nodded before she created a few clones to safely lift the sannin without further injuring them. As she was ready to leave, she turned to Rikimaru and spoke in a low tone. "Don't die on me…"
Only nodding at her, Rikimaru waiting until she had gotten a moderate distance away when his body began to transform.
Kyuubi watched in a morbid fashion before smirking at the transformed Akanami. "Ah, you think that will help you?"
"Nope." Rikimaru answered honestly when he suddenly picked up the hand Yugao had severed before pulling a small bracelet off the wrist. "However, it will help me stall you as I have something of yours now."
The vixen's entire body froze as she realized what he was talking about. "Give that to me… That was my mother's!"
Looking at it for a moment, Rikimaru was tempted to give it to her as he seemed to be pissing off the fox demoness. Looking at it and the vixen once more, he turned tail and ran. "Come and get it then!"
Kyuubi only roared in rage as she chased after him, planning on severing his head from his body as her chakra exploded around her, instantly healing all of her wounds.
Rikimaru knew he was in trouble as he saw this. He knew his odds of surviving after pissing Kyuubi off as many times as he did were slim, but he just had to do it one more time. It was just in his nature to absolutely piss people off.
But when he found himself skidding across the ground like a puck, he began to seriously regret ever pissing the fox off as he slammed into and through numerous trees.
-----------------------------------------------
Bo th Hachibi and Naruto froze as they felt Kyuubi's power increase to new levels. Naruto instantly threw down the book and was ready to exit when he suddenly found himself implanted into the ground by Hachibi. "Naruto wait… There is still a little more time before the transfer is done and I don't think Kyuubi has reached Yugito yet…"
"Nyssa is right chosen one. This is the power of a bijuu when they loose their humanity. More specifically, they loose the item that their humanity is sealed into." Eyes continued on for Hachibi as he his white eyes radiated for a moment.
Hearing this, Naruto felt slightly relieved that she had not reached Yugito but now he felt even less sure that the spell he was beginning to understand would work on her.
Letting him off the ground, Hachibi looked at Naruto for a moment as he walked over to his seat and picked up the Latin book. "No, put it down. There is no more need for it… You must practice the spell now to make sure you will be ready to stop Kyuubi."
Naruto looked at Hachibi oddly for a moment before sealing the book away, as he was quite interested in learning more later on, and standing up. "Alright, but what exactly can I practice it on? It needs a living target to be used on…"
"Use it on me." Hachibi told him as she grabbed her necklace before ripping it off her neck and throwing it towards him without second thought.
Being caught off guard by this, Naruto fumbled the necklace before getting a good grip on it. Looking at it, his eyes widened as he attempted to give it back to her but she jumped back. "No! This is part of the spell… You must have our humanity with you for it to work otherwise it will do nothing."
"But this is…" Naruto tried to say before Hachibi interrupted him.
"Yes, it belongs to my sister. But just as Eyes told you, we have an item that allows us to retain what little humanity we have left and it is this item that keeps our power in check. And this spell makes use of that humanity and binds it to the user… Forcing us to become a slave to the user." Hachibi spoke solemnly as she closed her eyes.
Naruto was taken back by this piece of information. He quickly turned to Eyes and hissed loudly. "Why didn't you tell me this?!"
"Because I thought it wouldn't matter. Kyuubi is trying to take away what you have worked to gain so hard. I did not think you would care if you turned her into a slave of your will." Eyes answered honestly as he looked over at the pale skinned blonde.
Hissing louder at this, Naruto was ready to leave the room once more. But he didn't as Eyes was right. If Kyuubi had her way, she would take Yugito from him and that was something he could not let happen. However, he could not do this tenant. "Hachibi… I can't do this to you…"
"It is quite alright." Hachibi responded as she cut Naruto off once more as she opened her violet eyes before she began to walk towards him.
Naruto took a step back as he could see the feral gleam within her eyes. Something wasn't right about this and it reminded him a little of Nibi. Taking a few more steps back, he found himself pinned to a wall and Hachibi suddenly on him. He attempted to push her off but failed as she pushed herself closer to him before kissing him deeply.
Breaking the kiss, he managed to push her off and roll out of the way. Quickly getting back onto his feet, he looked over towards his tenant as he tried to overcome the shock of what just happened. "Hachi! What the hell?!"
"Naruto… Please use the spell… I can't control myself…" Hachibi panted as she began to stand up once more. "Without our item… We lose control of our body and our demon sides take over… And my demon side wants you… The Prince of Demons… As we are tired of being second best to that fox bitch."
Looking around for some help, he noticed that Eyes was no longer in his throne. Hissing lightly, he turned his attention on Hachibi as she began to walk towards him once more. "Please… I won't be able… To hold myself back much longer…"
Gritting his teeth, Naruto did not want to do this and attempted to reverse summon her but to his surprise it failed as she appeared besides him and kissed him once more, forcing him to push her off once again.
As she began to push herself up once more, Naruto could see her eyes no longer held the same violent violet they had in the past and they were clouded by something else. He knew all too well what it was, but he couldn't believe that the demon he had sealed within him this entire time had that kind of feelings for him.
While he knew they did make those deals to release some stress and get pleasure out of it, he believed it was just to be that. Did it become something more for her?
Seeing her stand once more, Naruto knew he could keep pushing her away like this any longer. Either she was going to succeed in getting what she wanted or he was going to have to use the spell on her.
Making his mind up, he slowly began the chant in his mind gripping Hachibi's necklace in his hand tightly enough that his blood began to seep from his hand. Having the chant down, he looked at Hachibi as she stood in front of him before he began to speak the words. "Sinere aeternus obscuritas ille circumdare nos, ligare nos."
After each and every word he spoke an orb of nothing but black began to surround both Naruto and Hachibi until he had finished. Then the orb exploded filling the room with nothing but darkness and nothing else could be seen. Not the room; not Naruto and not even Hachibi. All that could be seen was eternal darkness.
But after a few moments, the darkness had faded and Naruto was the only one standing as Hachibi laid on the ground, her entire body glowing white. Naruto dropped to his knees and grabbed Hachibi's head as the light slowly began to fade before he put her necklace over her once more.
As he did this Hachibi looked up and smiled softly at Naruto before laying her head softly in his lap. "I'm sorry… but I had to do this… To make sure you were ready… And to keep myself from… trying to steal you from Yugito."
"Why would you do that? I thought you along with Nibi wanted me to get together with her." Naruto asked in a confused tone as he looked down at his tenant, not sure what to think.
Hachibi only smiled as she closed her eyes as she enjoyed the feeling of being so close to him without being within her cage. "We both did and I wanted you to be happy… But… I think I've fallen for you over the time I've been stuck within you. …I don't understand why as by all means I should hate you… But I don't and I know I feel something for you."
Naruto's heart skipped a beat as he heard Hachibi's words. Looking down at her in astonishment, his entire body began to tremble as Hachibi looked up at him once more before she gripped her necklace tightly before she gently brushed her hand across his cheek before she became nothing but chakra and slid back into his stomach.
"We have to go Naruto… She's close to your mate." Hachibi spoke from within him to snap Naruto out of his shock as he hadn't moved a minute after she returned to her prison.
This was all that it took to get Naruto up and running towards the door. Smashing it open, Naruto ran through the dark hallways with his Taiingan blazing to allow him to see in the total darkness. Exiting the dark hallway, he found himself in the throne room and with a quick glimpse he knew where the fox was.
Hissing to himself and ignoring the shaking of the barrels, Naruto burst through the throne doors and headed towards where he knew the fox demon was with one thought in his mind.
'Hold on Yugito… I'm coming to put an end to this!'
-----------------------------------------------
Rikimaru really, really was wishing he was dead right now.
Pulling himself out of the rubble he was in, he ignored the blood that he was coughing out as he kept a firm grasp of the bracelet. He wasn't sure why he didn't just destroy it, but something told him to hang onto it until she had to pry it from his cold, dead heads.
But at the rate she was attacking him, he was sure that he would be dead very soon. Very, very soon if the look on her face only amplified the feeling of dread that Akanami was feeling.
Standing up once more, Rikimaru could only smile at the fox demoness as he held up her bracelet with a shit eating grin on his face. "Hey bitch! I still have it!"
The next thing he knew, he was sent through the ground and into a tunnel below. He cursed Orochimaru for his underground hideout as Kyuubi jumped in after him and gripped his throat tightly. Knowing this was the end, Rikimaru could only laugh to himself as he threw the bracelet to the side and gazed straight into Kyuubi's crimson eyes. "Go get it Fido."
If there was any other words that could piss the vixen off more, she didn't know of them. But his implication that she was a dog trying to retrieve something precious to it angered her beyond her normal limits. But just as she was about to squeeze his throat shut and end his life, Yugito suddenly appeared in the hallway as she was looking for the intruder.
A visible twitch was seen in Rikimaru's face as he saw her and was ready to scream to the heavens. Of all things that had to happen, the one person that did not need to show up did.
Throwing Rikimaru into the ground and picking up her bracelet and sliding it on, Kyuubi slowly began to regain her senses. After a moment, she had recovered and spat onto Rikimaru before stomping her foot onto his chest. "You know, I should kill you but you just led me to my first target. So I'll let you live just to watch what I'm going to do to her."
Yugito's entire body froze as she saw her old mistress in front of her. But soon as she heard what Kyuubi said and noticed the amount of tails swaying behind the fox demoness, she gulped as she knew she stood no chance in this battle. She attempted to run, but she quickly found herself pinned to the wall by the throat as Kyuubi was on her.
Like a wild animal trapped, Yugito began thrashing around and slashing at Kyuubi but she quickly found her arms and legs quickly pinned down by the demoness' tails. "It is no use little girl… I am going to get what I want no matter how hard you try to stop me. I've already defeated the strongest people in this village…"
"There is one more you forgot about!" Naruto's voice echoed as he arrived with his Taiingan blazing. There was no doubt he was ready for battle and to put the fox in her place.
Seeing this, Kyuubi couldn't help but begin to laugh as she could sense that Naruto was serious. "Oh! This is just great! One of my targets actually believes he can beat me!"
As Naruto didn't back down but instead ready himself for battle, Kyuubi frowned as she could see the determination in his eyes along with… Confidence? Was he that sure he could beat her? Kyuubi no Kitsune!
The idea was so baffling to her she let go of Yugito and turned to the blonde haired snake. "Well then, let's see what you got tough guy. But don't try to summon that snake of yours. I've already put him out of commission."
Naruto didn't let her words faze him as he began to go over the spell in his mind once again. However, his chant was stopped by Hachimata. "Wait! You don't have her trinket. You have to gain possession of her bracelet then use the spell!"
Cursing himself for forgetting about that, he looked towards her hands before frowning as the bracelet now was securely wrapped onto her wrist as if she was afraid of losing it. 'Alright… I'm going to need to pull that bracelet off or cut off her hand.'
Without wasting a second, Naruto spat out Kusanagi before leaping towards her. Seeing her move out of the way of the sword and ready strike at him, he bent his body around her upcoming blow and swung for her mid section only to feel pain coursing through his body as her fist slammed into his stomach and sent him into the ceiling above.
Being caught off guard by this, Naruto could not stick to the ceiling and took a spin kick and was driven into the wall opposite of Yugito. Before he knew it, he found a tail wrapping around his neck and keeping him pended as Yugito leapt onto Kyuubi's back with kunai in hand and drew the blade across her neck.
It meant little difference as the kunai was knocked out of her hands before Kyuubi drove her into the wall before securing her to the wall with another tail. Turning back to Naruto, she smirked as she sauntered towards him before brushing a single finger across his cheek. "And here you were, so confident that you could defeat me. What happened? Forgot who I was?!"
"No… You forgot that there are other people here." Naruto answered honestly as a small smirk crossed his face before the wall behind him turned into a crater with Naruto even moving.
Kyuubi was caught off guard by this but even more so as the sound of many bird chirping passed by her ears as she barely avoided Sasuke's Chidori.
"Tch… Damn flies just keep popping out of nowhere." Kyuubi muttered before she drove her knee into Sasuke's gut sending him into Sakura and knocking the pink haired girl off balance.
Getting ready to take care of them before moving onto to her prizes, she was ready to begin charging for another chakra blast when she felt her bracelet be ripped off. Turning around without hesitation, she gripped Naruto by the throat only to see him smirking and holding the bracelet to his chest before muttering words that she barely caught.
"Sinere aeternus obscuritas ille circumdare nos, ligare nos."
Kyuubi's face fell as her blood froze as she heard the words. Her entire body felt like it had become petrified with fear as she remembered what Eyes had told her long before. "Kyu, do not seek your power back. If you do, I will give your soul to another and your freedom will never come. That is the price if you do not obey me one last time. You have no say in this after all, I created you."
As the black orb began to surround them, she looked at Naruto with absolute fear. She had never been this terrified after she became Kyuubi. But now, she had forever lost what she wanted the most. She no longer had any freedom to do what she wished. She would be this boy's… slave. There was no getting around it.
She had done what Eyes told her not to and now she was going to pay the price. She knew she should have listened, but she didn't. He was still her friend even after all the time that had passed and he tried to warn her, but she just couldn't live without the powers he had given her.
Watching as everything became black; she began to regret everything she had done to deserve this punishment. She even regretted accepting to become the nine tail fox and even creating the Sharingan as if she hadn't, she would have never been in this situation.
Her breath became colder after each second of the darkness surrounded her. She could feel an overwhelming power surrounding her when she saw an image of a ten tailed snake standing above the nine. However, the image slowly began to fade and was replaced by the boy that had cast this spell, the only spell that her ninth tail could not resist as it wasn't cast on her. It was used on her humanity and she could never get rid of that.
Falling to her knees, her eyes began to cloud over as the darkness began to fill her and she knew she wasn't going to be able to fight it off. She wanted to try to, but she couldn't find the strength to do even that. She had lost… And she hadn't even lost to someone of power.
Then the image she had just seen came back to her and it dawned on her why she had seen it. She began to lightly laugh as the darkness overcame her and became louder and louder before her voice could be heard throughout the Eternal Darkness.
She wasn't beaten by some nobody. She was beaten… By the future King of Demons.
Eyes had done what he never wanted to do. He created the ten tailed bijuu in the form of this blonde haired boy that contained the eight tail bijuu.
And with that last laugh, she fell to the ground, knowing her reign was at an end.
As the darkness began to fade, everyone was in awe as they saw that Naruto was the one standing and Kyuubi was out cold.
Falling to his knees, Naruto began to pant heavily as the spell had drained far more then what it took to bind Hachibi's humanity to him. But he had done it. Yugito was saved and Kyuubi was no longer a threat to them or any of his family.
Feeling a heavy hug followed by cheering by Sakura, Sasuke and Yugito followed by many more voice he didn't know, Naruto looked over at everyone for a brief second before smiling as he looked over at Yugito. And as soon as he did, he head fell straight into her chest as he passed out, the spell having taken its toll on the blonde haired jinchuuriki.
While Sasuke snickered at this and Sakura blushed a deep scarlet, Yugito could only smile at her mate as she knew whatever it was he had did drained everything out of him and he was lucky it didn't take his life. So she could live with him resting on her, however, she was going to move his head to her lap. It just felt weird for him to be using her breasts as pillows.
Walking over to see what had happened; Orochimaru could only smile as he helped Tsunade limp towards them. As they reached the small group that was surrounded by every single Otogakure shinobi in the village, Orochimaru could help but shake his head as he looked at the blonde sleeping in Yugito's lap. "He really is something…"
Tsunade smiled as she saw this, but looking over towards the red haired vixen that was out cold, she gritted her teeth and was ready to finish her off when Orochimaru stopped her. "Tsunade… I know what you must be feeling, but Kyuubi is no longer a threat and as much as I want to get revenge on her for destroying over half of our village, she has a roll for us now… She is now the guardian of Otogakure thanks to Naruto."
Growling as she heard this, Tsunade wanted to do nothing more then kill the red haired demoness, but she wasn't going to be able to with Orochimaru around. Without thinking, she turned off and limped away, not caring that every step made her want to scream out in pain. She couldn't be there if they weren't going to kill the one that took her best friend away.
Sighing as he watched his mate walk off, Orochimaru closed is eyes before turning to the sleeping blonde and smiling softly before he stood besides Yugito as he looked at the crowd that had gathered. Taking a deep breath, he spoke in a loud enough voice for everyone to hear.
"Shinobi of Otogakure. For eight years, this village has been ever growing steadily underground. But no longer will we stay hidden underground. Today we have shown that we have the power to match even the best of the great villages of this era! We not only have survived the attack of a bijuu, we've survived an attack from the legendary Kyuubi no Kitsune!"
"As of now, we will begin to build our village on this ground, not under it! As from this day forward, we will be ready to answer any challenge that we are called to face as nothing will be as great as what we have faced today. Many lives have been lost today and still there are some that might not make it past today, so I will not hold it against you if you hate or even fear this great demon. However, she will be part of this village and for now on will protect it along with my heir, the next Otokage in-training…"
"Taiinkaze Naruto!"
And as one, the entire village erupted into a breath taking hurrah.
Unknown to everyone but Yugito, a small smile appeared on Naruto's lips.

A/N2: I know, I know. The chapter is kind of short and the ending was a little cliché, but eh, I felt like writing it. Sorry for this taking a while, but it was really difficult for me to write for some unknown reason. But now it is out and I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any questions, just leave a review with them and I'll get back to you ASAP. So for now, Peace Out.Converting /tmp/phpWAZw7T to /dev/stdout
I Do Not Own Naruto
-----------------------------------------------
Naruto's blood froze as the sirens blew louder and louder. Even Hachibi looked frightened at what was going on while Eyes stayed in the shadows, seeming to be perfectly calm.
The blonde didn't even hesitate as he went for the door when Eye spoke up. "Where do you think you are going boy?"
Hissing darkly, the pale skinned blonde viciously turned around and glared at the man covered in shadows. "Where do you think? I'm going to hell my friends and keep her from putting her filthy hands on Yugito!"
Eyes stayed still as he allowed Naruto turned from him and headed for the door. Suddenly, the door disappeared as if it was never there making Naruto stop. "I cannot allow that. You would be walking into a death trap with no chance of winning… I am offering you a chance of defeating her. Now I will say this again, do you have what it takes to wait for what is needed to save those you love… Or will you sacrifice yourself for nothing? The ball is in your court now, so decide what you are going to do."
The door rematerialized in front of the blonde. This made Naruto hiss louder then before as he was ready to walk out and try to help everyone. Once again he was stopped, however, this time it was by Hachibi as she wrapped a tail around his waist. "Naruto, as much I don't want to admit it, the only one that can do anything right now is Eyes… And he's offering you a way to save everyone, so please listen."
Every fiber in Naruto's body told him to go and save his mate from her fate as he could feel the fox clearer then ever before. His entire body froze as the power was absolutely incredible and nothing like it was before. It was as if it had multiplied by almost a hundred fold.
"This is Kyuubi's power with only six tails… If she gets both you and your mate… Well she'll have nine tails and then she'll be arrogant enough to attack the Akatsuki to try and obtain the last tail and become the legendary ten tail demon.” Eyes told Naruto as he could sense the boy's fear was climbing ever so quickly as Kyuubi's power spiked. "Currently she is fighting both Orochimaru and Tsunade but it won't take long for her to beat them and head towards your mate. Do as I say and you can save her and everyone here."
Naruto closed his eyes as he didn't want to lose her as he finally was in a place that would not care if they were together. Furthermore, if he lost both of his teammates, who he brought with him, his heart would be even heavier and he knew he wouldn't be able to handle that guilt. And finally, if Orochimaru and Tsunade were both killed by the fox then there was no possibility of inheriting the snake's power and living up to what he was just told.
"What do I have to do…? To save my family?" Naruto answered slowly as he wasn't all too sure that he could wait and let people sacrifice themselves just to find a way to defeat the nine tails.
Eyes nodded before shaking his head. "You will only have to wait here for little less than one hour as I've already told you I'm transferring the spell to you as of this moment. However, I do not plan on keeping you here for one hour to do nothing but of what I will have you do I am unsure."
Hachibi smiled sadly at Naruto as she held onto her necklace. She knew this was going to be tough for Naruto and she knew Eyes wasn't going to make this easy. She could only hope that Naruto didn't snap and leave before it was over. Releasing her tail from Naruto's waist, she walked back towards Eyes before moving behind his throne and began rummaging for something. "All we can do is wait; there is nothing else to be done.”
Naruto's face fell as he heard this. He was going to have to wait in this dark, abyss-like place for an entire hour while his village was under attack just to be able to defeat the attacker.
He clenched his fist tightly in anger and was ready pound on something when he suddenly found a book thrown into his face. Barely managing to catch the book, he looked over at Hachibi as he got a good look at the title. "And what the hell is this for Hachi?!"
"What Eyes didn't tell you was that this spell requires you to know this language as it is possibly one of the most ancient languages on our planet. You do not know of it our how to speak it and I doubt Eyes will be so kind to download that information to you as well."
"Hey, I'm doing my part so shut up and teach him." Eyes defended himself without even raising the volume of his voice or sounding somewhat emotional.
Hachibi ignored him as she continued to speak. "So for the next hour, I will be giving you a crash course on how to read and speak Latin. Now let us begin." And with that, she forced Naruto into the chair that Eyes had created for him earlier.
Naruto could only blink at Hachibi for a moment as she said this but did not question her as he could see the look on her face. While he really did not want to do this, there was no choice in the matter. He was going to have to learn it other he could lose everyone that was precious to him.
Now if he could just understand what the hell the scribblings in the book were.
-----------------------------------------------
Oro chimaru knew this wasn't good. Oh he knew this wasn't good. The last time the alarms went off was because the leader of the Akatsuki had found his little hideout and decided to level it.
With one attack.
Now, he knew this wasn't him and was glad for that. However, he would rather take that man on a hundred times then what was attacking his village.
Kyuubi no Kitsune.
He wasn't sure why the fox was attacking as he knew Eyes was here and if she tried anything against him he would smite her in a second. But he knew that she wasn't here because of him. She was here for Naruto and Yugito to regain her tails before going after the bigger threat; the Akatsuki.
Looking over his shoulder, he could see Tsunade was nervous as well and he couldn't blame her. For the fox to be so brazen was quite frightening as it meant she had regained a good portion of her power and that by no means was a good thing. If she had any more then five tails, there wasn't a chance in hell that they could stop her. They could stall her, but not stop her.
Of course there was one ace up his sleeve that could stall her, but it appeared that he was nowhere to be seen.
"Dammit… Where is that bastard and his fiancée when I need them?!" Orochimaru cursed out loud as he and Tsunade turned the corner to see the one being he wasn't looking forward to running into even though the said being was the one they were searching for.
Tsunade nearly threw up as Kyuubi threw the lifeless corpse of one of their sound ninja against the wall and blood splattered all three of them. But to make it worse all the corpses of shinobi that had tried to stop her were all lined up behind the vixen and the corridor was almost entirely paved in blood.
"Oh, are you talking about the Bloody Wave? Eh, I doubt he'll come after I kicked his ass last time. Then again, the bastard just doesn't learn. I put him through a few trees, made him feel like a meteor impacting the world, sliced him up, broke dozens of bones and nearly drowned him to death. If that doesn't put it in his head that he can't stop me, nothing will." Kyuubi taunted Orochimaru while making fun off the person that Orochimaru was cursing before they turned the corner.
Orochimaru did not comment as he already knew this and did not like the situation at all. He had designed the corridors so he would have the advantage against pretty much anyone as it limited speed and mobility for any normal person, Jiraiya included. However, this was one of the few beings that it made no difference to as he didn't have a shot in hell of beating her.
Catching Tsunade's eye, he nodded as he took a step back as he glared at the fox demon. "Bitch, you will pay for invading my village. Tsunade, DO IT!"
Without a second warning, Tsunade's smashed her fist into the corridor's wall and the entire under ground building shook violently from the impact. Suddenly, the corridors began to collapse and onto them, however Orochimaru seemed to have been prepared for this as he went through a few hand seals and formed a dome of stone around both himself and Tsunade as the rubble fell onto the fox demon.
Inside the dome, Orochimaru kept his chakra flowing into it to keep it from crumbling from the pressure of the falling debris. The weight that was being placed on the dome was tremendous on its own and it didn't help that some of the falling debris weighed around a ton. But he held as he felt the dome beginning to be completely covered.
Once he felt the rubble had stopped, he looked over towards Tsunade before they both slid into the upper wall of the dome just as it fell into itself. Both appeared in the ruins of the hallway and rooms they had destroyed.
Taking a quick look around, Tsunade closed her eyes seeing the amount of blood underneath the rubble of the rooms. "There would people still there…"
"They were already dead Tsunade!" Orochimaru countered as he looked towards the moving rubble where he knew the fox had been capture by as he started a chain of seals. "And even if there was some alive, the chance of saving them were minimal at best. If you want to do something about it, help me stop this bitch now otherwise their deaths will be meaningless!"
Tsunade looked at Orochimaru oddly as he said that before turning away. She didn't want to see her people's lives taken but this was one of those times there needed to be sacrifices. They had to protect Naruto and Yugito at all cost from being captured by the weakened nine-tails.
"Doton: Retsudotensho!" Orochimaru called out as he slammed his palms into the rubble as more and more pieces began to shake violently.
The shaking suddenly stopped as the ground began to spiral into itself with such intensity that a piercing grinding noise as heard as the ground grated against itself. But it soon became apparent why as the spiraling ground began to crack and fall apart as red chakra began to seep from the cracks that were being created.
Backing up and putting his arms in front of his face to shield himself, the entire area exploded with red chakra and millions of shards of earth. In the middle of it, a lone female figure floated in the middle of it as she rose from the rubble she was previously entrapped in.
Orochimaru's blood froze as he knew there was no chance for victory. Even with Tsunade at his side, they would not win this battle. He could have never imagined the different between five and six tails to be this great. He felt truly helpless in front of such a powerful opponent and began to doubt that he could even stall her.
Feeling a hand grasp his, he hissed lightly from the pain but it broke him out of his self doubts as he turned to Tsunade. Smiling softly at her, he turned back towards the glowing figure as the chakra began to collect and gather itself towards its owner. "Thank you hime… I needed that. Now let's make sure we can give Eyes enough time."
"So you have no delusions that we can defeat her." Tsunade said more then she really questioned as they continued looking at the figure within the chakra.
Orochimaru simply nodded before taking Tsunade's hand and kissing it gently. "The chances are stacked against us, but there is an every so small chance of succeeding and stopping her and keeping that spell from being used."
"What spell would that be, mortal?! I know of none that can affect me as I still have my ninth tail and immunity to such an ancient power." Kyuubi's voice echoed as she floated in the air with her tails hanging beneath her with no trace of the chakra she used to free herself from the collapse.
Orochimaru merely spat in the direction of the fox demon as Tsunade answered for him. "Like we would tell you, demon slut! Now leave our lands before we use deadly force!"
Kyuubi merely wagged her finger at the both of them as she slowly floated back down to earth. "My, my, my. What feisty spirits the two of you have despite knowing that you cannot win this battle. …Tell you what, I'll make a deal with the two of you since I rather not erase two such genuinely feisty people, not unlike myself, from this world."
Both Orochimaru and Tsunade merely narrowed their eyes as Kyuubi's feet touched the ground and she gently set herself down while her tails instinctively lifted up to avoid dragging on the rubble filled ruins. "I will spare the two of you if you tell me what this spell is and where the carriers of my two tails are. I find that a pretty good deals as I would just kill you any other time."
The response she received was not what she wanted to hear as she heard both of their voices simultaneously before the entire area was filled with white smoke. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
As the smoke cleared, Kyuubi didn't even bother looking up as she had known what they had done. "So you opted for death. That is unfortunate, but you leave me with no choice. I will kill you along with your little pets."
"Say what!" Manda hissed loudly at the fox demoness, baring his fangs in anger as he glared at the red headed woman below him. "No one insults my power and gets it away with it! Orochimaru! For this fight, I require no sacrifices and will not eat you as this bitch is going to pay for insulting me!"
"Fine by me, just be ready to devour her carcass once this is over!" Orochimaru spoke back as he stood on top of Manda's head, looking down to the red head below.
Both Katsuya and Tsunade gave the two a long look before Tsunade shook her head and turned her gaze to the vixen. "Don't get cocky you two. The odds of us winning are still very low."
"We'll see about that!" Manda hissed loudly before springing towards Kyuubi with such speed that it was barely visible.
Orochimaru was violently thrown off as Manda came to a sudden stop and skidded across the ground. Quickly getting back onto his feet, he turned towards his summon to see what had happened only for his already pale skin to become even lighter.
Kyuubi had stopped Manda's strike with a single hand gripping the tip of his nose and held his head firmly into the ground. Manda was attempting to push through and snap his jaws onto her but the vixen's hold was too powerful.
The earth below them suddenly shattered as Tsunade jumped off Katsuya and landed with a loud thud. With the sudden lack of stable ground underneath the, Manda had the leverage and pushed Kyuubi up onto the top of his face before flinging her into the air.
Katsuya didn't wait for a better opportunity and unleashed a rain of her acid salvia onto the fox as Manda quickly burrowed underground, avoiding the base. But it was as if she was never there as the fox demoness body seemed to faze from the world as the acid rained down but reappeared just as it finished and landed safely onto the ground without a single burn.
Soon as she landed, Orochimaru lunged towards her and struck her in the face before attempting the compliment the blow with a quick jab to the chest. However, she simply grabbed his wrist before all six of her tails struck towards him like that of a scorpion.
Orochimaru could only smirk as he had bent his body to avoid the strikes of her tail but it quickly left his face as all six tails suddenly wrapped around him in a vice grip and began to squeeze. He began to cough blood almost immediately as the pressure around his body was so incredible that he was sure his entire body was about to collapse in a second.
But he found that the tails went slack as Tsunade had jumped between them and gripped all six tails. Seeing that he husband had been released and broke the grip of the tails, Tsunade tugged with all her strength and just like that, she ripped Kyuubi's tails clean off.
Kyuubi shrieked in pain as her tails happened to be on of her most vulnerable spots and all six had been ripped off at the same time. She jumped back; attempting to distance herself from them so she could recover and regenerate her lost tails when the ground beneath her was torn asunder and Manda flew out and snapped his jaws shut around the nine tailed fox, driving one of his overly large fangs into and through her chest.
Dropping the tails as she saw this, Tsunade could only laugh in relief as she saw Manda beginning to swallow. "Was that it?! I thought this was going to be tougher then that!"
"Hime… This isn't over. We've only pissed her off." Orochimaru responded as he could see Manda's entire body beginning to tremble.
This in turn caught Tsunade's attention and her eyes quickly landed on the giant snake as well before she froze at what she saw.
Manda's bottom jaw was suddenly ripped off as if it was made of paper as a power sphere of red chakra exploded from his mouth. The giant snake screeched and writhed in pain, destroying the nearby forest as his body flailed wildly around.
Both Orochimaru's and Tsunade's bodies tensed as the red orb of chakra landed in front of them before dissipating to reveal Kyuubi with a good chunk of Manda's fang sticking through her chest.
Looking at herself, Kyuubi growled as she had not taken this kind of damage in centuries. Gripping the fang in her chest, she pulled it out without hesitation and threw the blood soaked fang on the ground. As blood began to pour from her chest, she unleashed every ounce of chakra she possessed and coated herself in her malevolent chakra.
Orochimaru put his arms over his face as Tsunade stumbled back as the red chakra erupted around the vixen with the force of a small scaled bomb, scattering dust and small rocks around. Small cuts began to cover their bodies as the rocks were traveling with such velocity that they had to protect their vital organs as if they could puncture through and cause instant death.
As the chakra settled down, Kyuubi became visible once more with her six tails swaying behind her and the hole in her chest had healed over. After quickly checking to make sure everything had regenerated correctly, Kyuubi's dazzling crimson eyes landed on the two sannin as chakra began to gather within her hands. "It's time I stop playing around and kill both of you know."
The both suddenly found themselves being thrown into the air as Kyuubi's tails gripped their ankles and whipped them up as if they were bean bags. However, they were both quickly caught by Katsuya as she saw what the fox was planning on doing. Looking up at her summoner and her lover, she could only smile one last time. "It was nice fighting this final battle with you, Lady Tsunade."
Before they knew it, Katsuya took the full force of the chakra blast that Kyuubi had been charging for. Orochimaru and Tsunade were flung painfully into the ground as the red chakra tore through Katsuya's gelatin like body after absorbed the first ripple of the blast.
Tsunade's eyes widened as she watched her long time friend and summon be torn apart from the intensity of the blast. She didn't hesitate to run towards Katsuya as the slug slumped to the ground. Reaching the slug's corpse, tears began to build in her eyes as she knew this was the end even if she didn't want to believe it. "Katsuya, why?! You didn't have to take the attack for us! We could have gotten out of the way!"
The slug only smiled softly at her summoner as she knew she didn't have much time left. "I did it… Because we need more… time. We couldn't… win this no matter what… But Naruto… He is the key… He always has been…"
"…Give Sakura… My child… To raise her like you… did me. So we slugs… Will have… a bright… future." Katsuya finished even softer as the last of her strength had began to leave her.
Tsunade could only nod at her friends request as her heart clenched and she knew she could not trust her words. Katsuya smile never left her as her last words slowly came. "Thank you… My old friend…"
Kyuubi could only watch the scene with a look of disgust on her face as she saw the slug sannin began crying. "Oh come on. Like your little pet's death could affect you that much. Give me a break! You treat them like they are nothing more then tools of war and don't summon them until you need them. Now put away those tears before I rip your tear ducts out!"
Tightening her fist as the fox spoke, Tsunade's tears began to lessen but they were still there. Slowly beginning to stand up, her chakra began to swirl around her violently as the diamond seal on her forehead released. Turning towards the vixen, Tsunade's eyes shone darkly as she gazed at the demoness before speaking in an icy tone.
"She wasn't a pet to me you God damned bitch. She was my best friend and my partner since I became a kunoichi. She meant more to me then almost everything in this world… And you took her away from me… I will never forgive you for this… And I swear on her grave, that I will stop you!"
Faster then even Orochimaru could see, Tsunade was on Kyuubi and began to wildly attack her. However, even with her controlled anger she could not even land a single blow onto the vixen as she simply weaved in and out of her punches as if they were nothing.
This didn't bother Tsunade as she continued attacking knowing it would only take on chakra packed punch to put an end to the fox demoness' reign of terror. But it seemed to be otherwise as she finally threw a punch the fox could not dodge.
However, Kyuubi simply caught it with no effort whatsoever.
"Is this all?" Kyuubi asked menacingly as her crimson eyes bored into Tsunade's browns forcing the slug sannin to take a step back. "I thought she meant something more to you but if this is all you can muster… That is pathetic. I should just send you to the after life so you can meet up with your pathetic friend."
Orochimaru suddenly jumped into the picture as Kyuubi began to gather chakra like she did before in her free hand. But he never made it as a tail punctured through his gut as another wrapped around his throat, ready to snap his neck.
Seeing the look of fear in Tsunade's eyes as she saw this, Kyuubi could only smirk as she looked over towards the snake sannin. "Oh! So this was the one thing that meant more to you then anything else in this world. Maybe I should take him away from you as well and see how you'll react with him gone as well."
Tsunade attempted to throw another punch but Kyuubi wrapped another one of her tails around her arm keeping it pinned to her side while before she slammed another tail into her ankles, shattering them on contact.
Watching Tsunade scream she held her up by her arms, Kyuubi could only smirk as she turned her attention back to the snake sannin. "Alright, now watch as I kill your man in front of you so that there will be nothing left in your life."
As she said this, Kyuubi frowned as she began to hear the snake sannin begin to laugh at her, despite the pain he was in. Her crimson eyes shone darkly as she looked at him before growling. "What is so funny about that, mortal?!"
Orochimaru continued to laughing louder and louder until it was his natural laugh making the fox demon frown. He didn't care that if he was in tremendous pain or not. He was getting the last laugh in as he looked down at her. "You are so funny… You think that I don't have a back up plan! You foolish demon! I not only have one, I have the ultimate one!"
Kyuubi growled loudly as she heard this and was ready to snap his neck and be done with it. But something about this entire situation was off to her and she wanted to know what. "What is this plan?! What do you know God dammit?!”
Looking down on the panicking vixen, Orochimaru could only laugh some more before his eyes shone brightly. "You will see soon enough… Queen of Demons."
Not liking the emphasis he put on her title, she was ready to rip his head clean off when something happened. A bolt of white lighting pierced through her stomach when a blade sliced through her tails holding Orochimaru and Tsunade off along with her hand holding Tsunade's fist.
The fox demoness shrieked once more as she stumbled back when two figures stood between her and the two sannin. Growling lightly, she began to concentrate on regenerating her wounds. "Akanami! …And you brought your bitch to? My, my, my. You whole little group is here, aren't they?"
Rikimaru said nothing as he looked around before turning to Yugao as his eyes landed on the two sannin. "Take Orochimaru-sama and Tsunade-sama to the medical station. I'll stall her for now."
Yugao merely nodded before she created a few clones to safely lift the sannin without further injuring them. As she was ready to leave, she turned to Rikimaru and spoke in a low tone. "Don't die on me…"
Only nodding at her, Rikimaru waiting until she had gotten a moderate distance away when his body began to transform.
Kyuubi watched in a morbid fashion before smirking at the transformed Akanami. "Ah, you think that will help you?"
"Nope." Rikimaru answered honestly when he suddenly picked up the hand Yugao had severed before pulling a small bracelet off the wrist. "However, it will help me stall you as I have something of yours now."
The vixen's entire body froze as she realized what he was talking about. "Give that to me… That was my mother's!"
Looking at it for a moment, Rikimaru was tempted to give it to her as he seemed to be pissing off the fox demoness. Looking at it and the vixen once more, he turned tail and ran. "Come and get it then!"
Kyuubi only roared in rage as she chased after him, planning on severing his head from his body as her chakra exploded around her, instantly healing all of her wounds.
Rikimaru knew he was in trouble as he saw this. He knew his odds of surviving after pissing Kyuubi off as many times as he did were slim, but he just had to do it one more time. It was just in his nature to absolutely piss people off.
But when he found himself skidding across the ground like a puck, he began to seriously regret ever pissing the fox off as he slammed into and through numerous trees.
-----------------------------------------------
Bo th Hachibi and Naruto froze as they felt Kyuubi's power increase to new levels. Naruto instantly threw down the book and was ready to exit when he suddenly found himself implanted into the ground by Hachibi. "Naruto wait… There is still a little more time before the transfer is done and I don't think Kyuubi has reached Yugito yet…"
"Nyssa is right chosen one. This is the power of a bijuu when they loose their humanity. More specifically, they loose the item that their humanity is sealed into." Eyes continued on for Hachibi as he his white eyes radiated for a moment.
Hearing this, Naruto felt slightly relieved that she had not reached Yugito but now he felt even less sure that the spell he was beginning to understand would work on her.
Letting him off the ground, Hachibi looked at Naruto for a moment as he walked over to his seat and picked up the Latin book. "No, put it down. There is no more need for it… You must practice the spell now to make sure you will be ready to stop Kyuubi."
Naruto looked at Hachibi oddly for a moment before sealing the book away, as he was quite interested in learning more later on, and standing up. "Alright, but what exactly can I practice it on? It needs a living target to be used on…"
"Use it on me." Hachibi told him as she grabbed her necklace before ripping it off her neck and throwing it towards him without second thought.
Being caught off guard by this, Naruto fumbled the necklace before getting a good grip on it. Looking at it, his eyes widened as he attempted to give it back to her but she jumped back. "No! This is part of the spell… You must have our humanity with you for it to work otherwise it will do nothing."
"But this is…" Naruto tried to say before Hachibi interrupted him.
"Yes, it belongs to my sister. But just as Eyes told you, we have an item that allows us to retain what little humanity we have left and it is this item that keeps our power in check. And this spell makes use of that humanity and binds it to the user… Forcing us to become a slave to the user." Hachibi spoke solemnly as she closed her eyes.
Naruto was taken back by this piece of information. He quickly turned to Eyes and hissed loudly. "Why didn't you tell me this?!"
"Because I thought it wouldn't matter. Kyuubi is trying to take away what you have worked to gain so hard. I did not think you would care if you turned her into a slave of your will." Eyes answered honestly as he looked over at the pale skinned blonde.
Hissing louder at this, Naruto was ready to leave the room once more. But he didn't as Eyes was right. If Kyuubi had her way, she would take Yugito from him and that was something he could not let happen. However, he could not do this tenant. "Hachibi… I can't do this to you…"
"It is quite alright." Hachibi responded as she cut Naruto off once more as she opened her violet eyes before she began to walk towards him.
Naruto took a step back as he could see the feral gleam within her eyes. Something wasn't right about this and it reminded him a little of Nibi. Taking a few more steps back, he found himself pinned to a wall and Hachibi suddenly on him. He attempted to push her off but failed as she pushed herself closer to him before kissing him deeply.
Breaking the kiss, he managed to push her off and roll out of the way. Quickly getting back onto his feet, he looked over towards his tenant as he tried to overcome the shock of what just happened. "Hachi! What the hell?!"
"Naruto… Please use the spell… I can't control myself…" Hachibi panted as she began to stand up once more. "Without our item… We lose control of our body and our demon sides take over… And my demon side wants you… The Prince of Demons… As we are tired of being second best to that fox bitch."
Looking around for some help, he noticed that Eyes was no longer in his throne. Hissing lightly, he turned his attention on Hachibi as she began to walk towards him once more. "Please… I won't be able… To hold myself back much longer…"
Gritting his teeth, Naruto did not want to do this and attempted to reverse summon her but to his surprise it failed as she appeared besides him and kissed him once more, forcing him to push her off once again.
As she began to push herself up once more, Naruto could see her eyes no longer held the same violent violet they had in the past and they were clouded by something else. He knew all too well what it was, but he couldn't believe that the demon he had sealed within him this entire time had that kind of feelings for him.
While he knew they did make those deals to release some stress and get pleasure out of it, he believed it was just to be that. Did it become something more for her?
Seeing her stand once more, Naruto knew he could keep pushing her away like this any longer. Either she was going to succeed in getting what she wanted or he was going to have to use the spell on her.
Making his mind up, he slowly began the chant in his mind gripping Hachibi's necklace in his hand tightly enough that his blood began to seep from his hand. Having the chant down, he looked at Hachibi as she stood in front of him before he began to speak the words. "Sinere aeternus obscuritas ille circumdare nos, ligare nos."
After each and every word he spoke an orb of nothing but black began to surround both Naruto and Hachibi until he had finished. Then the orb exploded filling the room with nothing but darkness and nothing else could be seen. Not the room; not Naruto and not even Hachibi. All that could be seen was eternal darkness.
But after a few moments, the darkness had faded and Naruto was the only one standing as Hachibi laid on the ground, her entire body glowing white. Naruto dropped to his knees and grabbed Hachibi's head as the light slowly began to fade before he put her necklace over her once more.
As he did this Hachibi looked up and smiled softly at Naruto before laying her head softly in his lap. "I'm sorry… but I had to do this… To make sure you were ready… And to keep myself from… trying to steal you from Yugito."
"Why would you do that? I thought you along with Nibi wanted me to get together with her." Naruto asked in a confused tone as he looked down at his tenant, not sure what to think.
Hachibi only smiled as she closed her eyes as she enjoyed the feeling of being so close to him without being within her cage. "We both did and I wanted you to be happy… But… I think I've fallen for you over the time I've been stuck within you. …I don't understand why as by all means I should hate you… But I don't and I know I feel something for you."
Naruto's heart skipped a beat as he heard Hachibi's words. Looking down at her in astonishment, his entire body began to tremble as Hachibi looked up at him once more before she gripped her necklace tightly before she gently brushed her hand across his cheek before she became nothing but chakra and slid back into his stomach.
"We have to go Naruto… She's close to your mate." Hachibi spoke from within him to snap Naruto out of his shock as he hadn't moved a minute after she returned to her prison.
This was all that it took to get Naruto up and running towards the door. Smashing it open, Naruto ran through the dark hallways with his Taiingan blazing to allow him to see in the total darkness. Exiting the dark hallway, he found himself in the throne room and with a quick glimpse he knew where the fox was.
Hissing to himself and ignoring the shaking of the barrels, Naruto burst through the throne doors and headed towards where he knew the fox demon was with one thought in his mind.
'Hold on Yugito… I'm coming to put an end to this!'
-----------------------------------------------
Rikimaru really, really was wishing he was dead right now.
Pulling himself out of the rubble he was in, he ignored the blood that he was coughing out as he kept a firm grasp of the bracelet. He wasn't sure why he didn't just destroy it, but something told him to hang onto it until she had to pry it from his cold, dead heads.
But at the rate she was attacking him, he was sure that he would be dead very soon. Very, very soon if the look on her face only amplified the feeling of dread that Akanami was feeling.
Standing up once more, Rikimaru could only smile at the fox demoness as he held up her bracelet with a shit eating grin on his face. "Hey bitch! I still have it!"
The next thing he knew, he was sent through the ground and into a tunnel below. He cursed Orochimaru for his underground hideout as Kyuubi jumped in after him and gripped his throat tightly. Knowing this was the end, Rikimaru could only laugh to himself as he threw the bracelet to the side and gazed straight into Kyuubi's crimson eyes. "Go get it Fido."
If there was any other words that could piss the vixen off more, she didn't know of them. But his implication that she was a dog trying to retrieve something precious to it angered her beyond her normal limits. But just as she was about to squeeze his throat shut and end his life, Yugito suddenly appeared in the hallway as she was looking for the intruder.
A visible twitch was seen in Rikimaru's face as he saw her and was ready to scream to the heavens. Of all things that had to happen, the one person that did not need to show up did.
Throwing Rikimaru into the ground and picking up her bracelet and sliding it on, Kyuubi slowly began to regain her senses. After a moment, she had recovered and spat onto Rikimaru before stomping her foot onto his chest. "You know, I should kill you but you just led me to my first target. So I'll let you live just to watch what I'm going to do to her."
Yugito's entire body froze as she saw her old mistress in front of her. But soon as she heard what Kyuubi said and noticed the amount of tails swaying behind the fox demoness, she gulped as she knew she stood no chance in this battle. She attempted to run, but she quickly found herself pinned to the wall by the throat as Kyuubi was on her.
Like a wild animal trapped, Yugito began thrashing around and slashing at Kyuubi but she quickly found her arms and legs quickly pinned down by the demoness' tails. "It is no use little girl… I am going to get what I want no matter how hard you try to stop me. I've already defeated the strongest people in this village…"
"There is one more you forgot about!" Naruto's voice echoed as he arrived with his Taiingan blazing. There was no doubt he was ready for battle and to put the fox in her place.
Seeing this, Kyuubi couldn't help but begin to laugh as she could sense that Naruto was serious. "Oh! This is just great! One of my targets actually believes he can beat me!"
As Naruto didn't back down but instead ready himself for battle, Kyuubi frowned as she could see the determination in his eyes along with… Confidence? Was he that sure he could beat her? Kyuubi no Kitsune!
The idea was so baffling to her she let go of Yugito and turned to the blonde haired snake. "Well then, let's see what you got tough guy. But don't try to summon that snake of yours. I've already put him out of commission."
Naruto didn't let her words faze him as he began to go over the spell in his mind once again. However, his chant was stopped by Hachimata. "Wait! You don't have her trinket. You have to gain possession of her bracelet then use the spell!"
Cursing himself for forgetting about that, he looked towards her hands before frowning as the bracelet now was securely wrapped onto her wrist as if she was afraid of losing it. 'Alright… I'm going to need to pull that bracelet off or cut off her hand.'
Without wasting a second, Naruto spat out Kusanagi before leaping towards her. Seeing her move out of the way of the sword and ready strike at him, he bent his body around her upcoming blow and swung for her mid section only to feel pain coursing through his body as her fist slammed into his stomach and sent him into the ceiling above.
Being caught off guard by this, Naruto could not stick to the ceiling and took a spin kick and was driven into the wall opposite of Yugito. Before he knew it, he found a tail wrapping around his neck and keeping him pended as Yugito leapt onto Kyuubi's back with kunai in hand and drew the blade across her neck.
It meant little difference as the kunai was knocked out of her hands before Kyuubi drove her into the wall before securing her to the wall with another tail. Turning back to Naruto, she smirked as she sauntered towards him before brushing a single finger across his cheek. "And here you were, so confident that you could defeat me. What happened? Forgot who I was?!"
"No… You forgot that there are other people here." Naruto answered honestly as a small smirk crossed his face before the wall behind him turned into a crater with Naruto even moving.
Kyuubi was caught off guard by this but even more so as the sound of many bird chirping passed by her ears as she barely avoided Sasuke's Chidori.
"Tch… Damn flies just keep popping out of nowhere." Kyuubi muttered before she drove her knee into Sasuke's gut sending him into Sakura and knocking the pink haired girl off balance.
Getting ready to take care of them before moving onto to her prizes, she was ready to begin charging for another chakra blast when she felt her bracelet be ripped off. Turning around without hesitation, she gripped Naruto by the throat only to see him smirking and holding the bracelet to his chest before muttering words that she barely caught.
"Sinere aeternus obscuritas ille circumdare nos, ligare nos."
Kyuubi's face fell as her blood froze as she heard the words. Her entire body felt like it had become petrified with fear as she remembered what Eyes had told her long before. "Kyu, do not seek your power back. If you do, I will give your soul to another and your freedom will never come. That is the price if you do not obey me one last time. You have no say in this after all, I created you."
As the black orb began to surround them, she looked at Naruto with absolute fear. She had never been this terrified after she became Kyuubi. But now, she had forever lost what she wanted the most. She no longer had any freedom to do what she wished. She would be this boy's… slave. There was no getting around it.
She had done what Eyes told her not to and now she was going to pay the price. She knew she should have listened, but she didn't. He was still her friend even after all the time that had passed and he tried to warn her, but she just couldn't live without the powers he had given her.
Watching as everything became black; she began to regret everything she had done to deserve this punishment. She even regretted accepting to become the nine tail fox and even creating the Sharingan as if she hadn't, she would have never been in this situation.
Her breath became colder after each second of the darkness surrounded her. She could feel an overwhelming power surrounding her when she saw an image of a ten tailed snake standing above the nine. However, the image slowly began to fade and was replaced by the boy that had cast this spell, the only spell that her ninth tail could not resist as it wasn't cast on her. It was used on her humanity and she could never get rid of that.
Falling to her knees, her eyes began to cloud over as the darkness began to fill her and she knew she wasn't going to be able to fight it off. She wanted to try to, but she couldn't find the strength to do even that. She had lost… And she hadn't even lost to someone of power.
Then the image she had just seen came back to her and it dawned on her why she had seen it. She began to lightly laugh as the darkness overcame her and became louder and louder before her voice could be heard throughout the Eternal Darkness.
She wasn't beaten by some nobody. She was beaten… By the future King of Demons.
Eyes had done what he never wanted to do. He created the ten tailed bijuu in the form of this blonde haired boy that contained the eight tail bijuu.
And with that last laugh, she fell to the ground, knowing her reign was at an end.
As the darkness began to fade, everyone was in awe as they saw that Naruto was the one standing and Kyuubi was out cold.
Falling to his knees, Naruto began to pant heavily as the spell had drained far more then what it took to bind Hachibi's humanity to him. But he had done it. Yugito was saved and Kyuubi was no longer a threat to them or any of his family.
Feeling a heavy hug followed by cheering by Sakura, Sasuke and Yugito followed by many more voice he didn't know, Naruto looked over at everyone for a brief second before smiling as he looked over at Yugito. And as soon as he did, he head fell straight into her chest as he passed out, the spell having taken its toll on the blonde haired jinchuuriki.
While Sasuke snickered at this and Sakura blushed a deep scarlet, Yugito could only smile at her mate as she knew whatever it was he had did drained everything out of him and he was lucky it didn't take his life. So she could live with him resting on her, however, she was going to move his head to her lap. It just felt weird for him to be using her breasts as pillows.
Walking over to see what had happened; Orochimaru could only smile as he helped Tsunade limp towards them. As they reached the small group that was surrounded by every single Otogakure shinobi in the village, Orochimaru could help but shake his head as he looked at the blonde sleeping in Yugito's lap. "He really is something…"
Tsunade smiled as she saw this, but looking over towards the red haired vixen that was out cold, she gritted her teeth and was ready to finish her off when Orochimaru stopped her. "Tsunade… I know what you must be feeling, but Kyuubi is no longer a threat and as much as I want to get revenge on her for destroying over half of our village, she has a roll for us now… She is now the guardian of Otogakure thanks to Naruto."
Growling as she heard this, Tsunade wanted to do nothing more then kill the red haired demoness, but she wasn't going to be able to with Orochimaru around. Without thinking, she turned off and limped away, not caring that every step made her want to scream out in pain. She couldn't be there if they weren't going to kill the one that took her best friend away.
Sighing as he watched his mate walk off, Orochimaru closed is eyes before turning to the sleeping blonde and smiling softly before he stood besides Yugito as he looked at the crowd that had gathered. Taking a deep breath, he spoke in a loud enough voice for everyone to hear.
"Shinobi of Otogakure. For eight years, this village has been ever growing steadily underground. But no longer will we stay hidden underground. Today we have shown that we have the power to match even the best of the great villages of this era! We not only have survived the attack of a bijuu, we've survived an attack from the legendary Kyuubi no Kitsune!"
"As of now, we will begin to build our village on this ground, not under it! As from this day forward, we will be ready to answer any challenge that we are called to face as nothing will be as great as what we have faced today. Many lives have been lost today and still there are some that might not make it past today, so I will not hold it against you if you hate or even fear this great demon. However, she will be part of this village and for now on will protect it along with my heir, the next Otokage in-training…"
"Taiinkaze Naruto!"
And as one, the entire village erupted into a breath taking hurrah.
Unknown to everyone but Yugito, a small smile appeared on Naruto's lips.
