NARUTO:The sealed shinobi.-Chapter 165: CH

The explosion negated the electric field, allowing the force of the blast to push Naruto out of his hiding spot underneath the sand. He stood back up and looked at the smoke generated from the attack, "That was way too easy. It can't be over yet."

He was then forced to dodge a scythe came sweeping out under him from the sand. Hidan revealed himself after his failed attack, with half of his cloak singed off in the explosion, revealing deep burns on his body, "You little shit! That hurt!"

Naruto got a good look at his body, 'That should have killed him. It's clear that he didn't dodge it from the way he looks so why is he still here?' While he was keeping track of Hidan a pair of arms reached up from the sand and pulled him under before pulling him out a distance away and slamming him into the ground harshly.

Due to the ground being sand Naruto stood up rather quickly, head swimming, but then he had just gotten dragged through the earth and slammed from ten feet in the air so being a little disoriented was par the course. He stood up fast enough to see Kakuzu's arms return to his body, connected by black threads that seemed to comprise his innards.

Naruto frowned to himself, 'Interesting technique.' After getting slammed into the ground, his hood had come off, revealing his face to the two nuke-nin.

Kakuzu stared at him for a second before laughing, "Well would you look at that Hidan? The Kyuubi jinchuuriki came right to us, no searching necessary. We didn't even have to smoke him out. That certainly saves us some time doesn't it?"

Hidan joined his partner in laughing at Naruto, "What kind of idiot walks right into a two on one situation? What did you think you were going to do like this?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes as a bubbling cloak of the Kyuubi's chakra covered his body, "Let me show you." The cloak took on the shape of a fox and one tail sprouted from the back as his canines grew, his eyes turned red, and his nails turned into claws. After thinking about it for a moment he concentrated further and manifested a second tail of chakra, giving him a black outline on his lips. He crouched down in the more comfortable position of being on all fours, "On second thought, I might as well start trying to go all out right now."

Gaara's eyes turned towards the northeast as he stayed seated in the stadium. The intermission was close to being complete and Naruto had still yet to return to the kage box.

He wasn't the only one to feel the influx of dark power from the distance away. Tsunade felt it but futilely tried to hide feeling the energy. Onoki felt it as well, but seeing as how no one else was speaking up about it he wasn't about to.

Gaara finally turned his head towards his siblings, "I think I would like to stretch my legs for a moment. Kankuro, Temari, please remain here if you would." He stood up and placed his hat and kage robes on his chair, "Hokage-dono, Tsuchikage-dono, I will return in just a moment, I apologize for departing so abruptly." With that, Gaara disappeared in a wave of sand.

Tsunade felt herself release a breath when Gaara left. At the very least now the kid would have more than adequate backup from the Kazekage himself.

Onoki let out a short chuckle, "That new Kazekage is a real hands-on kind of guy it seems, eh Tsunade?"

His larger bodyguard looked down at him, "What are you referring to Tsuchikage-sama?"

Onoki looked back down into the arena, "Nothing you need to concern yourself with Akatsuchi."

Hidan took a swing at Naruto with his scythe only for Naruto to blur out of his sight in a burst of speed. He was then thrown back through the sand from a single punch to the jaw from the target jinchuuriki.

Hidan stood back up with his jaw hanging loosely before cracking it back into place. He angrily turned to Kakuzu, "You can help me out with this punk at any time you know?"

Kakuzu rolled his eyes, "Aren't you the one that always says that you don't want or need my help? Well prove it this time."

Growling at the challenge, Hidan turned back towards Naruto, "Fine then. It's no skin off of my nose." He ran back in swinging only to get cracked again even harder this time, getting sent headfirst into a sand dune.

Kakuzu looked at the scene in amusement, "Actually, it just might be. Heads up."

Hidan was about to ask what he meant by heads up when a red claw of chakra wrapped around his body tightly, "Gah! What the hell is this? Kakuzu get me out of this!"

Kakuzu elaborated, "It's the toxic chakra of the Kyuubi no Yoko. You should be fatally burned if you were normal... but the way you are you'll be fine."

"Fuck you Kakuzu! After this punk, you're next!" Hidan yelled as he was reeled in by Naruto's chakra arm. Naruto drew his arm back in a knife-handed strike and forcefully shoved his sharpened claws through Hidan's chest, sending his arm in wrist deep. Naruto then bonelessly cast him away back towards Kakuzu's side.

Naruto turned his red eyes to Kakuzu and crouched back down on all fours, "Next?"

Kakuzu shook his head and walked over to Hidan before kicking him in the head, "Wake your ass up you pathetic bastard." After a second, Hidan stirred and stood up, holding his head, instead of his chest where there was a gaping hole, "What did you kick me for you godless teme? That actually hurt."

A mass of black threads came from Kakuzu's body, "Oh shut up already, you were careless and the kid kicked your ass. Be sure not to let it happen again."

Naruto growled, "Like hell I'm going to let you heal him!" He tensed his muscles to spring to attack once again.

A mass of the threads came from Kakuzu's body, and instead of sealing Hidan's wounds shut made a strange four legged body with thin wings and a blue eagle mask at the head, "Mind your own business boy, I'll deal with you in just a moment. Play with my wind element for the time being. Fuuton: Atsugai (Wind Release: Pressure Damage)."
