Naruto's eyes fluttered open and he smiled feeling his mate's body pressed against his own. He snuggled in closer and thought back over the past month after taking down Itachi and Kisame. He had been pleased by her performance in the fight with Kisame and her grasp over her wind chakra had steadily grown. She had effectivly completed her elemental training and that was all he had aimed for in the Jutsu area. She could dodge him at level 1 resistence seal, which was about Gai's level with half his weights. She focused primarily on backing him up from either distance or sliding around his own attacks to get in quick and VERY sharp strikes because she could coat her claws in wind chakra. Her strength had been increased by a minimal amount although she could probably match Kakashi flat out. All in all, she was High ANBU level overall with her specialty being swift taijutsu and a few supportive wind Jutsu.
He ran his hands through her hair and smiled when she purred slightly. He always loved getting reactions from his mate. He paused as he considered the enemies they would be facing. Madara Uchiha, Hidan, and Kakazu, not to mention Pein and Konan. He was worried that she might not be quite on par with them. Still that brought out a memory his sensei had told him at the end of their sage training.

Naruto had just finished sustaining his transformation for two hours when he looked to his sensei who waved him over. Naruto panted slightly as he made his way to his Aniki and sensei.
"You are doing very well Naruto, but I have one last thing to warn you about this form." Sora said seriously.
Naruto's faced scrunched up in confusion. "What do you mean Sensei? I thought this allowed me to acces my Dragon side fully?" He asked.
Sora sighed. "That is both true and untrue. It allows you to access your Dragon side as fully as your body can withstand right now. However, the true name of this should be 'Half Dragon Soul Release.' The human body can only allow half of the full transformation except under extreme duress." Sora answered with Naruto paying rapt attention. " To fully manifest your Dragon Soul, well its different for everyone. For me, I went into a rage because some demons killed my father and were trying to kill the rest of my family. The ensuing battle caused me to earn my title as Ryuujin. Just so you have an idea of the power difference, in my current state, I could destroy a Pit Fiend in about 20 minutes. If I was ever able to manifest my soul again? It would take no more than 10 seconds." Sora said.
"Wait, You said 'again'. Does that mean you can't fully manifest it?" Naruto asked curiously.
Sora nodded, "Yes thats correct. The Dragons have told me that, in order to activate this mode, you must find the one true reason that would allow you to kill ANYONE without remorse." He explained.
Naruto frowned. "Sensei that sounds very un-dragonlike. I mean, Dragons are protectors in every sense of the word. Why would manifesting a real Dragon require killing without remorse?" He asked sagely.
Sora smiled, "Good question Naruto. The answer is simple. The one true reason for ME to kill without remorse was to protect my family at all costs. Now I have felt the same way at times with Hebi-hime but I don't think its quite that deep yet." He said letting his student firgure it out.
Naruto's head dropped and you could hear the gears turning in his head. "So, a Dragon's reason to kill without remorse is to protect someone's life that you consider to be above anyone else's life?" Naruto asked.
Sora nodded, "Thats the basic gist of it yes. It differs with each person." Sora said.
Naruto's face lifted a little from the frown earlier but then he stared at his sensei. "Why are you telling me this sensei? It's good to know but wouldn't I search for this person to achieve more strength to protect those I care about? For that matter, Wouldn't Hana be that person?"
Sora chuckled, "The person won't be found by searching Naruto. As for Hana, Thats a poossibility, however, I don't believe that your Dragon side believes her to be that precious quite yet. As for why I'm telling you this..." Sora's face grew serious, "I honestly believe you will be more powerful in that form than even me, Naruto. However,.." Naruto looked right at his sensei and Sora smirked, "I just hope, ... that I'm there to see it!" Sora finished brightly. Naruto smiled and the two brothers hugged before heading to Konoha's Chunin exam.
(Author Tenshi Style: Flashback no Jutsu: KAI!)
Naruto smiled feeling his fiance waking up. Anko and Sora were due back today and he wanted to finish Akatsuki off so he could focus on giving his wife the life and, with a little luck, the family she deserves. Naruto proceeded to wake up his fiance with her second favorite way of waking, with his hands running through her hair. Her first, of course, was with his tongue inside her moist nether lips, but that was for another day.
Hana smiled softly as she awoke feeling Naruto's hands running through her hair. She always did love how much attention he gave her. She reflected over the past week. They had spent it, mostly, in bed. They knew that, when Sora and Anko returned, they would be hunting the remaining Akatsuki. They had decided to spend as much time together as possible and it had been rather pleasent to say the least.
Naruto smirked, "Good Morning Tenshi-chan." He said softly while running his hands through her hair.
She rubbed her head into his hands to ensure he would continue before replying, "Good Morning Taiyo-kun."
"Sora-nii and Anko-nee are expected back today. Would you like to greet them?" He asked.
She nodded her head but snuggled closer and said, "Yeah, but they can wait. I'm not letting my comfy pillow move for now." She smirked, "Besides, it has this lovely massage setting that is wonderfully active right now."
Naruto chuckled and rubbed her scalp, earning a low moan of appreciation from his lover. "Glad you enjoy it, but we have to get ready in half an hour or we will be late." He responded. Hana simply nodded and went back to purring softly on his chest.
Akatsuki Base: Same Time
Explosions and the sounds of fighting sounded throughout the base as two forces attacked one another. On one side, Pein and Konan, the self proclaimed God and his Angel, against Hidan, Zetsu, and Madara Uchiha. Pein's bodies made the fight an even battle against the fast and unpredictable attacks of Madara and Zetsu, while Konan had her hands full with Hidan.
"You dare defy a god?" Pein said monotously.
Madara scoffed, "Don't tell me you bought into your own propaganda?" He said as he launched a fireball at the leader of Akatsuki.
Pein frowned and easily dodged the attack before rushing to his right, barely avoiding a swipe from Zetsu. He noticed that Konan could cut up the immortal Hidan, but wasn't making much headway in that area. She had plenty of paper techniques, just none that would stop the immortal human. It would be best if they could switch opponents, however, Zetsu always seemed to get in the way.
"We have a plan for this world. Why do you oppose universal peace?" He stated.
Zetsu laughed, "Peace? The Biju will give you no peace. That statue will do nothing but explode, shithead!" He said in his two voices.
"WHAT!" Pein said, visibly angered as he continued to dodge and strike back at Madara and Zetsu.
"The Bijuu are demons of pure energy. They listen to very few people and there is no way they would obey a human who claims to be a god." Madara said as he launched a boulder at his adversary.
Pein's eyes narrowed and he frowned as he blasted the boulder back at Madara. "If the statue and Bijuu are worthless to us then why are you fighting us? What about the peace you promised? What is your aim Madara?" He said.
Madar simply laughed and Hidan joined him while Konan landed beside Pein. "My aim does not matter. You will find out soon enough just how peaceful this world can be! After all," He chuckled darkly, "A world without humans is a world without war." He laughed as the other two people with him disappeared inside the spacial rift Madara formed.
Konan scowled, "It could be a trick, but if it is true..." She left the threat hanging at the end.
Pein nodded and his bodies started to repair themselves and move towards their rooms. "We must inform the greater powers. Having no humans defeats the purpose of Akatsuki and we may just have to use its allies to stop this coming Genocide. We should contact our old teacher. He has an impressive spy network that rivals Sasori's and Zetsu's. Let us get to work." He said. Konan simply nodded and walked off. They had a world to warn.
Konoha's Gate: 10 AM
Naruto and Hana stood waiting for thier siblings to show up. Suddenly, a high pitched whining sound filled the air. Naruto smirked while Hana looked around curious.
"Hana-chan. Look up." Naruto said as he saw his brother flying in from the north. Hana's head shot up and she saw Sora's dragon form for the first time.
She gaped for a second before gasping out, "Beautiful!" Naruto chuckled and nodded his head as they landed in front of the pair.
"Yo Kiddies!" Anko said with a smile on her face as she slide off the Dragon-Sora. She quickly walked over and hugged them both as Sora shifted back to his human form. She looked at Hana's hand and squeled before glomping the poor girl and yelling, "Welcome to the Family sis!" earning chuckles from the two Dragon brothers. Naruto and Sora clasped hands and hugged before seperating and Naruto cleared his throat.
Anko turned around and looked sheepish while Sora spoke up, "As much as I would like to welcome my new sister to the family. We have to report in now honey." Sora said with a smirk. Anko pouted cutely and earned a quick kiss from Sora before they all shunshined to the Hokage's Office.
Hokage's Office: 10:15 AM
Tsunade was fighting the most evil enemy every Kage has to face. Paperwork! "I will always damn Sensei to hell for not leaving the secret to defeating this enemy!" Tsunade swore as she downed another cup of sake. She felt four familiar chakra signatures approaching and silently waved off the ANBU in the room. The four Dragon siblings arrived and yelled out a collective "YO!" earning a tick mark on the Kage's forhead and snickers from the hidden ANBU.
Tsunade sighed and then put on a serious face. "Report!" She ordered.
Sora stepped forward. "Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sands have been eliminated. Zetsu has escaped our grasp at the moment." He said summarizing their mission parameters.
Tsunade nodded, "Good. Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki have been removed as well thanks to Jiraiya, Naruto and Hana here." She said noting the pride in Sora's eyes when she said that. She smirked because she was also proud of her godson and his fiancee. They were certainly powerful.
Anko hugged Hana again. "Good Job! I knew you would be a good addition to the family!" She said loudly.
Sora sighed as everyone looked a bit puzzled as to why Anko was so caught up in the "family" deal. "Hebi-hime. I know having a family is nice and all but you need to control yourself more." He said. Anko looked a bit sheepish. "Hokage-sama. The leaders of Akatsuki are in Rain Country but we have to track down Kakuzu, Hidan and Madara. I know Akatsuki is a major threat but Shinigami has demanded that we deliver their souls soon because of certain divine rules that must be followed. She has already taken Orochimaru's soul since Anko-chan has finished with him." Sora said hoping to get the go ahead to track down the people they needed.
Before Tsunade could respond a voice came in through the window. "I can help with that." Jiraiaya said as he came in.
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Why would you help us?" He said.
Jirairya sighed. "I may not be able to reconcile with you brat, but I still run Konoha's spy network. Recently, Kakuzu has been spotted in Tanzaku Gai. Apparently there is a bounty for the Stone Giant of Iwa, and he has been spotted in the area." He responded.
Sora sighed, "We just returned, how long will he be in the area?"
Jiraiya frowned, "Anywhere between a day and a week. But the chances get smaller and smaller everyday."
Sora nodded and he looked to Anko who looked dead tired. "Anko-chan?" She perked up. "Would you stay here and train Hana-nee for a few days while Naruto and I take care of this?"
Hana frowned. "Why don't Naruto and I take care of it and let you two relax?" She suggested.
Sora sighed, "Normally I would. However, I want to rest a night before we set out. If I transform into my Dragon state, we will be there in half a day, cutting the travel time from 4 days to one and a half, since I'm resting tonight. I have no experience with you and Anko needs to rest. Therefore, my best teamwork option is Naruto." He stated.
Hana looked down a little saddened that she couldn't help yet. Naruto simply hugged her and said softly, "Don't worry Tenshi-chan. You will get your chance soon enough." Hana smiled and they kissed chastely before backing away. Hana nodded to Naruto.
Tsunade took that as a go ahead. "Very well then. Tomorrow at 8 AM Sora and Naruto will depart to confront Kakuzu. This will be an S ranked mission and I don't want anyone getting word of this understood?" She got nods before she dismissed them all and went back to her paperwork enemy. Suddenly, a piece of paper appeared in a golden flash. Tsunade looked at it curiously before reading it.
Dear Baa-chan,
Kage Bunshin is a wonderful thing. Why not make them do the paperwork?
Signed,
Naruto Namikaze
Tsunade was torn between banging her head against the wall for being so stupid and cursing Naruto for not telling her sooner. She quickly made three clones before leaning back and noticing a small P.S. at the end.
P.S. It pays to have a godson who gave Jiji the secret in the first place huh?
She chuckled as she nursed a cup of sake. "Yes, yes it does brat." She replied to no one.
That Night: Unknown Location
Two beings phased into existance on the display in front of Beelzebulb's throne. "Report." The Great demon commanded.
"The seals have been prepared m'lord. All we wait for is your command." The masked man on the right said before bowing to the Demon Lord.
Beelzelbub nodded in acceptance. "Good. I will send some of my minions and they will place the seals whilst the rest of the army moves as ordered. YOU will take out the Dragon's mates. Without their lovers to bolster their strength, the Dragons will fall." He said with a perverse grin on his face.
The two beings bowed and responded, "As you wish. ALL HAIL AKUMA!" They said before fading out once again.
Beelzelbub chuckled as he nursed a glass of what appeared to be red whine. "Your little snake and dog will be dead soon enough Dragon Sages. Then, Nothing will stand in my way!" He yelled at the end before throwing his head back and laughing evilly.
Konoha Gates: 7:55 AM
Hana and Sora were giving their lovers a farewell to remember... by kissing them fiercely while promising multiple erotic encounters when they returned if they did so quickly. Needless to say, Sora and Naruto were quickly in the air and speeding towards Tanzaku Gai with plenty of haste.
Anko turned to Hana as their lovers disappeared into the distance. "So, Girls day out?" She asked smirking.
Hana giggled, "You know it girl." She said waving her husbands checkbook. The two girls let out a collective "SHOPPING!" before disappearing to a day of shopping, hot springs, massages, and a spa visit before their lovers returned once again.
Approximately 2 and a half days away from Konoha, a group of trees shook as multiple lithe figures ran through the trees, A masked face among them. 'Soon, the Leaf and the Dragons will fall. Peace will be achieved WHEN EVERYONE IS DEAD!' The figure laughed evilly as they picked up the pace.
Tanzaku Gai: 4 PM
Naruto and Sora landed and they quickly split up to find their prey and get a room for the night. Naruto went to a local Hotel simply called "The Mansion" and checked in a room with two beds before he went up to the room and quickly set up a few privacy seals, allowing only himself and Sora in, before he went to a local bar for the information he needed.
Sora, on the other hand, immediately went to the red light district and looked for the local Bounty Office. It took him a good half hour but he eventually found the location and made his way there, hoping to catch Kakazu before he skipped town. He entered the establishment and looked around. It was a rather plain office that was a simple open area with chairs while a counter was set into the far wall. The Bounty Collector smiled and said, "Welcome. Are you here for a Bingo Book or to turn in a bounty?"
Sora shook his head and, noticing no people around, said, "I'm here for information. Could I persuade you to help me out?"
The Bounty Collector's face quickly became solemn and serious. "Depends. Is your persuasion enough for me to risk my head?" he asked in a low tone of voice.
Sora pulled out a scroll and unrolled it on the desk. He applied chakra and there was a rather large amount of 100,000,000 ryu sitting in front of the greedy man, who now had stars in his eyes. "All of that for EVERY bit of info you have on one Kakazu." He said seriously.
The Bounty Collector nodded. "He just finished collecting the bounty for the Stone Giant of Iwa not but two hours ago. He said he was staying the night but would be leaving early tomorrow since he needed a Bingo Book from me." He explained.
Sora nodded, "Thank You." Suddenly a Kunai struck the counter in front of the man's hand. "If Kakuzu gets word of this, You won't have to worry about your hand." Sora said seriously. The Bounty Collector gulped and nodded. Sora took his leave and went to find Naruto. They needed to find Kakuzu tonight so they could ambush him.
Across town, Naruto was having crappy luck in his bar. The waitress's kept hitting on him, the food was crappy, the sake was hot, all in all? This bar sucked! Naruto sighed and payed for his meal before heading outside to enjoy the festival that was starting tonight. He smiled as he walked around and noticed the younger children playing games and some of the older generation holding their loved ones closely. He sighed and thought of Hana. They hadn't been away from each other for more than a night after their first love making and he sorely missed her now. He noticed his sensei's chakra signature getting closer and decided to wait where he was so they could trade what information they had. Sora arrived not even five minutes later and motioned for Naruto to follow him into an alleyway.
"Sora-nii whats up?" Naruto asked as soon as they were sure no one was paying attention to them.
"Kakuzu will be leaving tomorrow, so we have to find him tonight so we can track and kill him tomorrow. We don't want to make a scene here in town if we can help it." Sora said quickly explaining while keeping on high alert.
Naruto nodded, "Not to mention the property damage that could happen. We should split up and use Clones and henges to find him." Naruto suggested. Sora nodded and they quickly made a few pairs of clones before all of them henged and set off to find their prey.
Konoha: Next day: 8 PM
Hana had squaeled to Anko about Naruto and Hana's little "experiment" and Anko was rather surprised and congratulated Hana on finding a man so set in his sexuality that he could do that. In any case, we find the two girls sitting in the usual Dango bar with the Kurenai, Yugao, Hinata, Tenten, and Kin, while gossiping like... well girls.
"So Sora says to me "Imagine what your chakra could do in a more... private setting." Anko said. "I swear he's such a horndog!"
Hana chuckled, "This coming from the woman who won't let him out of bed in the morning unless he licks you awake." She said teasingly. Anko promptly blushed and everyone had a good laugh at her expense. Hana turned to Kin. "Soooooooo, How's Shino?" She asked suggestivly.
Kin blushed. "Shino-kun is fine. I must thank you for your help the other night. We have been rather close ever since." She said barely making eye contact. The girls all shared a knowing and, in Anko and Hana's case, perverse looks. Before glomping the poor girl and trying to get more information out of her. She refused saying they had only kissed but the girls didn't believe her.
Kurenai, being the more level headed person there, decided to stop pestering the girl. "Girls. Come on. Leave her alone, they are too young to do that sort of thing." She said. "Besides, Its getting late and my team has a mission tomorrow." The girls all nodded and proceeded to say goodbye while everyone went their separate ways.
Anko and Hana are walking back to the Namikaze estates when they pass by the Inuzuka Compound. "So Hana-chan, Hows it feel to be engaged to Naruto?" Anko asked.
Hana smiled soflty, "Good Ko-chan. I hope everything works out OK. I know about the deals he and Sora made and I don't want anything to happen with Akatsuki or the demons." She said before stopping and turning to the Inuzuka compound.
Anko looked at Hana and said, "Ya I agree with you there... Is something wrong?" She asked when Hana stopped moving.
Hana frowned and took one last look before she started walking again. "No, no everythings fine. Although," she put her hand to her chin and thought for a second, "I have had the wierdest craving for peanut butter and chocolate ice cream." She said.
Anko laughed, "Well come on! I'll get you all the peanut butter and chocolate ice cream you can eat!" She said jovially as they went to a nearby shinobi grocery store. Hana took off without a second look behind. If she had, she would have noticed the dark figure entering the compound.
With Sora and Naruto: 5 PM: same day
Sora and Naruto had spent all day tracking and following the Akatsuki member. He kinda stood out in a crowd. He had left the city shortly after lunch, contrary to their intel, and proceeded deep into the forest. The two Dragon Brothers had made sure they were far away from civilization and that no travellers were nearby before they set up a trap for Kakuzu. They were about 1 hour of a full shinobi sprint from Tanzaku when they sprang the trap.
Kakuzu was walking down the road, quite happy with his latest kill. It had bagged him a good million and would allow him to sit back for a week or so before his own greed would catch upto him and force him to seek more money. His senses weren't on full alert otherwise he would have noticed the obvious ambush point coming up at the wide plain that was covered in tall grass right before a slight turn in the road. As it was, He barely activated his own "Doton: Domu"(Earth Release: Earth Spear) (A/N: You'd think this would have a more defensey name huh?) before three blades slammed into his body. The two silver blades had enough force behind them to liquefy his innards, if he had any, while the regular katana with a slight golden hue was able to scratch him. Impressive considering he had never had his armor even scratched before.
Sora and Naruto cursed at their inability to harm this man. They quickly took up positions so they could attack from the front-left and front-right sides of Kakuzu and eyed him warily.
"So the famous Naruto Namikaze, Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune and his self-proclaimed brother, Sora Ryu, AKA Ryuujin have come to hunt me down?" Kakuzu said montonously.
Sora and Naruto shared looks before they both nodded. "Thats correct. Shini-chan doesn't like it when people evade her grasp. Sadly, we were sent to ... help you along." Sora said as he dropped into his stance.
Kakuzu frowned behind his mask, "I am the Immortal Bounty Hunter. I will enjoy collecting the bounties on your heads." He said slightly arrogantly.
Naruto dropped into his own sword stance and glared at the Akatsuki agent. "We don't have time to waste on this pointless drivel, besides we know all about your hearts. Hana-chan and Anko-nee-san will kick our asses if we aren't back soon aniki. Let's do this." Naruto said.
Sora nodded, "Agreed otouto. Enough talk!" he said as he charged forward with Naruto right beside him. They quickly charge at Kakuzu who activates his black tendrils and sends them to halt the two Dragon Warriors. Kakuzu believed that his Jutsu would protect the tendrils while striking the two dragons hard. Unfortunately, Naruto was too fast and simply dodged all his attacks while getting closer and Sora, being a master of his style and his chakra nature, simply "danced" through his tendrils by cutting through them with lightning chakra.
Naruto reached Kakuzu first and proceeded to hammer his armor with quick and fierce strikes, forcing him to dodge and bring his tendrils in closer. Sora smirked and quickly closed the gap and took Naruto's place, he nodded to Naruto before using both his blades to keep Kakuzu on the defensive. Naruto jumped back and disappeared from view, using his insane speed to its utmost effect.
Unbeknownst to Kakuzu, Naruto reappeared behind him and quickly ran through a few handseals before focusing chakra to his hand. 'Gotta remember to thank Kakashi-sensei for this technique!' Naruto thought. He knew that Byakurai could probably do the trick of breaking through Kakuzu's defenses, but the probability of hitting the heart at a distance is slim to none because the technique naturally fluctuates. Naruto smirked and rushed forward just as Kakuzu turned around, "RAIKIRI!" (Lightning Blade) Naruto roared as he plunged his hand through Kakuzu's heart.
The two dragon warriors jumped back and Naruto drew his sword as Kakuzu let out a strained yell. "YOU BASTARDS! You destroyed my earth heart!" he yelled. "It seems like I will have to take your heart to compensate." He continued as he let three of his masks emerge from his back.
Naruto chuckled, "Aniki, I'll take the Lightning and Water boys. Fire and Wind are all yours." He said smirking.
Sora scowled, "Oi! I wanted Lightning and Water." He replied.
"Too Bad! You snooze you lose aniki!" Naruto shouted. Sora muttered something about enemy stealing brats before he led his two masks away. Naruto smirked at Kakuzu. "I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen when I get home so I think I should finish this quickly." Naruto said.
Kakuzu scowled behind his mask. "Boy I will enjoy taking your heart!" He said as his tendrils shot forwards.
"Sonzai kara bokashi, Senko!" (Blur from Existance, Flash) Naruto said softly as his Katana gained a deep golden color. He quickly slashed the tendrils headed his way into several pieces and stared at Kakuzu. "Your going to need to do better than that." Naruto said seriously.
Kakuzu nodded to his mask and yelled out, "Suiton: Mizu Teppō!" (Water Release: Water Gun) while his mask roared out a "Raiton: Gian!" (Lightning Release: False Darkness). The two attacks quickly combined into a roaring bullet of lightning and water while streaking at the ex-Jinchuuriki. Naruto smirked and ran through some handseals of his own before yelling out "Raiton: Tsuin Rairyuudan no Jutsu!" (Lightning Release: Twin Lightning Dragons), causing two lightning dragons to swirl around him before blasting into Kakuzu's attack and sending it back at the surprised Bounty Hunter.
Kakuzu growled and quickly Kawarimi'd out of the way as the empowered attacks created a large crator. Naruto was not fooled, even though the crator was there, Kakuzu was nowhere in sight and he kept his guard up. Kakuzu was hiding in the tall grass behind Naruto. He silently got closer before popping up and unleashing his combined attack once again. He smirked as he saw the attack hit the surprised looking ninja head on.
Kakuzu laughed, "Cocky Brat. He should really pay attention to his surroundings." He said.
"Back at you Old Man." Naruto voice said from behind Kakuzu's lightning mask as he shoved his sword through its heart. "Shadow Clones are wonderful things no?" Naruto said smirking.
Kakuzu growled, "I WILL kill you brat. However, congratulations. No one has destroyed two of my hearts in one battle since Tobirama." He said hoping to catch Naruto off gaurd.
Naruto smirked, "I know all about your life-span Kakuzu, however I'm afraid that it ends today." Naruto said getting serious at the end as he took his swordmaster stance. Kakuzu was slightly surprised but didn't want to give Naruto the chance to attack. He quickly sent all the tendrils at his disposal to attack Naruto and halt whatever attack he was setting up. Too late! "Ryu no Senko!" (Dragon Flash) Naruto said as he spun and landed with his legs and arms crossed before disappearing into 25 seperate images.
As suddenly as he disappeared, Naruto reappeared with his sword in a post-slash position before Kakuzu collapsed to the floor with several shallow but, overall, lethal cuts. "You should have trained in your defense more Kakuzu, You were too vulnerable after your earth heart was down." Naruto said as he sheathed his blade. "Goodnight, Immortal Bounty Hunter." He finished as he watched the light leave Kakuzu's eyes. He turned to see his brother enter the, now destroyed, field.
With Sora: After they split
Luckily the two masks were unable to talk. Unluckily, their combinations caused widespread damage and were damn hard to dodge. They operated mostly on instinct and didn't have higher cognitive thoughts. Sora dodged yet another explosive fire/wind combination before he landed and glared at the two masks. He quickly blasted them back with a Byakurai but they dodged and struck back with their tendrils. Sora sighed as his weapons danced through the tendrils with ease, turning them into several small lengths of black that dissapated as they hit the floor.
Sora jumped back and they sent their tendrils at him once again. "ENOUGH!" He roared as his silver lightning chakra flared wildly destroying the tendrils with ease. He glared at the two masks who took a step back. "My wife is waiting for me at home and you are wasting my time." He said calmly, his chakra started to swirl ominously around him. "Bankai, Sora o shihai suru, Ryuujin." (Final release, Rule the skies above, Dragon God) "This is the end. Goodbye." He said calmly. The two masks charged their attacks once again as Sora leveled his two blades parrallel to the floor. The masks unleached their attacks just as Sora called out "Tsuin Soryuuha!" (Twin Dragon Strike) His two Dragon's floated around their strike and obliterated the masks while Sora simply Kawarimi'd out of their attack.
Sora sighed as he looked at the wreckage. "Rest in Peace, knowing your defiler is dead." He said, speaking to the hearts Kakuzu had pilfered. He turned towards the sounds of battle that he had left not to long ago. "Let's see if Naruto is done yet. My wife will kill me if I'm not home by tonight." He said as he jumped into the trees.
5 Minutes later, Sora landed just as Naruto destroyed Kakuzu. He nodded to Naruto, who nodded back, before he ran through some handseals and summoned the Shinigami. He looked at the ghastly figure that the god took when dealing with mortals and sighed. "Shini-chan here is Kakuzu as agreed." He said.
"Good job you too. Now all thats left is Hidan and that infernal Madara Uchiha." She said as she reaped the bounty hunter's soul. "I will see you both soon. O and Naruto? Congratulations on your engagement boy. Yami sends her regards and says, I quote 'Ask that fiancee of his if she wants to spice up her love life!'" The Shinigami said before laughing at the pale look on Naruto's face. She nodded to Sora before disappearing back to her job.
Naruto turned to Sora, "We never mention this to Hana-chan, agreed?" he asked desperately.
Sora chuckled, "I say tell her, maybe you'll get lucky?" He said jokingly before he transformed into his Dragon form. "Now come on, I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen in Konoha while we are away." He said mentally as Naruto jumped on his back and they disappeared in a sonic boom.
4 AM: Inuzuka Estates
A black figure stood overlooking the Inuzuka estates. He smirked and motioned to the other hidden figures while speaking out, "Begin the Assault! Let no dog survive!" he said getting louder as he spoke. He smirked seeing the multitude of loud houls and sounds made by the various demons and devils as they descended on the unsuspecting Inuzukas. Too bad no one ever told them that annoucing their attack with howls on a NINJA compound in a ninja village was a bad idea no?
The ninjas of the Inuzuka clan were already up at the first howl of the demons. The ninken, in their various kennels, were roused and ready for battle whilst the civilians were still waking and being ushered into safer zones. The demons thought that they would have free reign against the humans, too bad they didn't account for the four Dragon blessed companions currently resting in the kennels. Shiroi and the Haimaru triplets came rushing out of their kennels in their armors and howled their defiance as they charged the demonic forces.
Not far away, at the Namikaze estates, two Kunoichi looked at one another before disappearing in a burst of speed.
Tsume and Kiba rushed outside just as they heard that howl and Tsume smirked seeing the four animals tear through the drechts like tissue paper. She turned to the various ninja who had arrived, "Evacuate the civilians! Leave the Demons to them." She said motioning to the four animals. They all nodded and rushed off to secure the civilians. Tsume turned to Kiba, "Join them pup. This battle is not ours." She said.
"BUT! This is our home! How can this fight not be ours?" Kiba asked loudly.
"PUP! Demons are on a different level than us. I cannot kill many of these. What could a normal ninja do?" She asked seriously. Kiba looked down in shame before he heard a yelp. Tsume looked at the battle to see Haimaru's leg get slashed. "HAIMARU! Over here boy!" She yelled as she knelt down and prepared a Jutsu to heal the wounded Ninken. Kiba took one last look at the battle before joining in the evacuation.
The wounded Ninken jumped back and Shiroi quickly covered his retreat, using her vast agility and speed to keep the numbers at bay. Still, it was proving too much for the fox and she was begining to tire. So many different types of devils were there. Fire, Ice, Horned, Poison, etc. Not to mention the average demons around and the four Dragon companions were tiring quickly.
A Hezrou landed behind the lines and quickly charged forward ready to blast through the remaining ninkens. Unfortunatly, he never got the chance. "TSUIN RYU DENKA!" (Twin Dragon Charge) was roared as a combined chakra of poison and wind spreading the poison farther than normal and ripping through the demonic sergeant. Anko and Hana landed next to the Dragon companions just as Haimaru rejoined them.
The demons took a moment to collect themselves and stared at the new opponents. Big Mistake. "Raiton: Rairyuudan no Jutsu!" (Lightning release: Lightning Dragon Technique) a rather large dragon tore through the demons closest to the clan heads house and disappated before it reached the defending Dragon Warriors. Everyone looked over and saw a smirking Sasuke Uchiha. "You know, I don't think Naruto would appreciate you jerks trying to kill his in-laws." He said.
The demons growled and started to advance towards him when he Shunshined next to Hana. "Mind if I give you a hand for being such a jerk to Naruto?" He asked. Before Hana could answer, Shiroi trotted up to the Uchiha and looked at him before yipping in approval and jumping onto his head.
Hana chuckled, "Doesn't look like I have a choice. Shiroi-chan already said yes. Just back us up, your going to be weaker against these guys." She said seriously. Sasuke nodded and They turned back to the pissed off demons.
Anko chuckled, "To quote my husband, 'Your going to be dining in hell tonight boys!'" She yelled before once again charging into the demons causing limbs and blood to go flying.
Hana shook her head, "Crazy Bitch." Her eyes took a crazy glint and she smiled, "Still, Takes one to know one! YEEHA BOYS!" She yelled before joining her sister in arms. Sasuke shook his head before he started throwing lightning bolts to backup the two brave Kunoichi.
Madara stood atop a nearby building watching as the demons were demolished. He scowled, "What weaklings! How they claim to serve my master is beyond me." He said before he noticed that Zetsu appeared next to him. "Is everything set?" He asked. He recieved a nod. "Good, then WE will take out the opposition." He said as he phased from view. Zetsu smiled gleefully at the prospect of getting to eat human flesh before he melted into the ground.
Hana and Anko had just finished killing off the last of the devils when Shiroi yipped something that sounded strangly like "get out the way." Lucky for the two Dragon warriors, they listened to the wise advice and jumped away, just as a fireball landed where they were moments before. They all turned and looked at the man who had launched it and noticed a man with a spiral mask and an Akatsuki cloak.
Unfortunatly, stopping cost them. Out of the ground two tendrils of wood burst, heading for the girls hearts. Luckily, their reflexes were better than Zetsu thought, and he was only able to hit their shoulders instead. Anko swore loudly as the tendril ripped itself from her shoulder while Hana let out a muffled cry. "I hope you have more than that in you." Madara said. "I'm going to enjoy making you bitches scream in pain." He continued as he took a step forward. Zetsu smirked as he came out of the ground to stand next to Madara.
Suddenly, a high pitched whining sound filled the air, followed quickly by the sound of a far away fire. Madara's eyes widened and he disappeared. Too bad for Zetsu because a silver colored fireball slammed into him, roasting him alive. Sora landed, breathing heavily, next to Anko and Naruto rushed over to Hana who was healing her own wound.
Sora changed back and quickly put his own techniques to work. "Are You ok Hebi-hime?" He asked, slightly out of breath. Anko scoffed and kissed him before she started whispering in his ear.
Naruto had reached Hana and quickly gave her the once over, before she assured him that she would be fine. He turned to Madara who was glaring at Sora and growled, his chakra easily becoming visible as lightning cackled around him. "Your dead Madara! Ryu Sennin Hijutsu: Ryu no Tamashi Kai!" (Dragon Sage Secret Technique: Dragon Soul Release!) Naruto roared as he drew his katana, which instantly went to its Bankai mode and his body went into his Dragon Sage Mode.
Madara's eyes widened as Naruto vanished from view and he quickly used his own Kamui to dodge the attack and start trying to strike with his own attacks. Keyword: try. Naruto was so fast that everytime Madara phased, Naruto was on top of him before he was fully back into reality. Naruto quickly grew tired of this and decided to end this charade. "Ryu Shinnyo!" (Dragon's Absolute Reality) He said softly before he stared at Madara. "This is the end for you. You attacked my mate and her family." He said calmly.
Madara laughed manically, "Boy You are a hundred years too early to touch me! Give me your best shot!" He said cockily.
"As You wish," Naruto said, "Ryuujin no Senko!" (Flash of the Dragon God) Naruto turned into over a hundred after images before he instantly reappeared slashing Madara to bits and ending with his katana in an after slash position. He stood up and went to sheath his sword.
Madara laughed, "Is that it? I told you that you couldn't touch me!" He said.
Naruto sighed and replied, "And I told you, this is the end." He sheathed his blade and Madara fell into over 20 pieces. Everyone was shocked until Naruto spoke up, "His ability still hindered most of my strikes, the ones that got through were lethal." Naruto quickly made his way over to his fiance whilest his brother summoned the Shinigami to take Madara's soul. "I'm tired. what do you say to a dip in the hotsprings followed by a day of cuddling in the bed?" He asked.
Hana smiled, "Sounds like a plan to me, Taiyo-kun." She replied.
Anko hung her arms around their shoulders and said, "Count me and Sora-kun in too!" The three laughed before heading home, Sora joining them soon after.
Beelzebub's Castle: That Night.
A figure showed on his scrying table. "Sire!" He said loudly.
Beelzebub sighed, "They failed and died correct?" he asked annoyed.
The figure nodded but said, "However, they got the seals in place m'lord!"
Beelzebub smiled, "At least they weren't totally worthless. Prepare to summon my army and me to your realm. I believe it is time to show these humans who rules!" He said laughing manically.
The figure nodded furiously, "It shall be done! ALL HAIL JASHIN-SAMA!" he said loudly before disappearing.
Beelzebub chuckled darkly, "Yes that one is a good and loyal servant." The chuckle chilled even the most evil of devils to their core.
