Ninja Storm Tournament Arc

Kurama no Kyubi: I hadn't originally intended for it, but I think I'll make this the final chapter of Season 2. Also, I'm sorry that I haven't been able to update that often recently, but I wanted to get a bit ahead with the chapters. I at least want to get done with Round 2 of the tournament before uploading more chapters, although I made decided to do Round 3 as well as I'm not expecting that it will take as many chapters as Round 2.

Chapter 49: Saiokko the Warper

Naruto, Mina, and Akagami had dumfounded looks on their faces. The 10-year-old girl standing before them looked like she was the very embodiment of purity and innocence. Yet, she was competing in this tournament where most wouldn't even hesitate to see her head roll. Yet here she was, in the final battle, having a truly overwhelming score.

Naruto of course had noticed the ominous mark on the girl's left cheek; the only thing going against her otherwise innocent appearance. It was mark he had so far only seen three places before; first on the girl Saina who could see the future, then on the girl who came to save her who he didn't know the name of, and finally earlier this very morning is the third time that he saw it, on the cheek of Fujibayashi Sheena.

Speaking of which, didn't Sheena say something odd?

"Name's Fujibayashi Sheena, also known as "Sheena the Summoner", and I'm of the Dragon Guard's Death Squad."

That is what she said. The Dragon Guard was apparently the name of a group serving Acnologia, one of the Perfect, and judging from the mark on the girl's cheek, Naruto assumed that she must've been part of this group as well, as well as Saina and that other girl. Sheena had also mentioned the "Death Squad"; this seemed to elude to that there might be multiple groups within the larger organization. There was of course also the fact that Sheena had mentioned companions, which meant that there must've been more than one.

"What's going on here?!" Mina's shout brought Naruto out of his thoughts "How could a kid like her get this far?! And what's with those insane numbers?!"

The numbers she's referring to being the 6.000 displayed on the otherwise black digital screen on the wall above where the girl had come from. It was the number of points which she had obtained through her previous nine battles. For Naruto who had only gained 1.827 points, Mina who had only gained 2.347 points, and Akagami who had only gained 1.666 points, it was unfathomable how she had acquired so many points. It was even more than the three of them combined. (Kurama no Kyubi: I did the math; combined they only have 5.840 points. It's close, but still not enough to topple 6.000.)

"Hey, you girl! You should get out of here if you know what's best for you, cause I'm not gonna hold back cause you're a kid." Akagami on the other hand was completely unfazed by the girl's high numbers or the fact that someone so young and innocent-looking had gotten this far as he pointed at her.

"Eheheh! You guys look strong~! There were a lot of strong Onii-chans and Onee-chans I fought before as well, I hope you Onii-chans and Onee-chan are at least as strong as they were~!" The girl said casually with a large happy-go-lucky kind of grin on her face as if she didn't realize what kind of impact she was having on Naruto and Mina's mentalities.

"Before we begin, mind if I ask you something?" Naruto asked.

"Sure~!" The girl exclaimed.

"Who are you?" Was Naruto's question.

"Who am I~? My name is Uzumaki Saiokko, but everyone calls me "Saiokko the Warper"~." The girl, Saiokko said.

'Uzumaki?!' Naruto thought with a start.

"So are we going to fight now~?" Saiokko asked.

"I was just about to ask that myself." Akagami said before he charged at Saiokko with the claws of his left hand at the ready "Here I come!"

He moved at a speed far greater than any normal Human and even most Ninja. Naruto and Mina just stood back as they observed what would happen. Akagami swung his claws at Saiokko who cowered as she held her arms over her head as if to protect herself, almost as though she was scared of the incoming attack. However, that's when something really unexpected happened; Akagami's body completely stopped moving, almost as though it had been completely frozen in place.

Blinking twice, showing her own surprise at it, Saiokko shook her surprise off her as she moved up to Akagami and delivered a punch to his abdomen with her left fist. There was a bit of a delayed reaction, but soon three orbs flew out of Akagami's back as he fell to his knees and clutched his abdomen.

"Wh-why you little–!" He groaned as he attempted to swipe at her with the claws of his right hand this time, having used the left the last time. But Saiokko reacted quickly enough to jump back and avoid the attack entirely.

In the meantime, Naruto had observed what had happened.

'What just happened? It's not like Akagami to suddenly stop in the middle of an attack like that. And what was with that delayed reaction after her attack?' Naruto didn't have time to think about this however, as he soon found that he had to dodge out of the way of several attacks from Mina and her kunai.

"Whoa!" He exclaimed before jumping back "Hey, watch out! You could've seriously killed me there 'ttebayo!"

"That was the idea!" Mina said before going through a series of hand-signs "I'm gonna kill you right now, and then Kurotsuchi-sama will finally be mine, and mine alone! And if she's sad about your death, I'll just comfort her with my body!"

"Seriously, how much of a pervert are you? Besides, I don't think she even likes me like that." Naruto said.

"You're still saying that? Man, are you dense." The white-haired girl said as she finished the hand-signs.

"Yoton: Sekkaigyo no Jutsu!" Three globs of quicklime were fired from her mouth, and Naruto ran to the side to dodge them before he weaved through a series of hand-signs himself.

"Honestly, I had hoped to not having to show many Ninjutsu before the real tournament started, but I guess I'll have to go all out if I'm fighting you!" He said.

"Damn right you do!" Mina said, and Naruto finished with the hand-signs.

"Futon: Kamikaze no Jutsu!" Naruto sent a strong gust of wind towards Mina, causing her to brace herself as she sent chakra down to the soles of her feet to avoid getting blown away. Following his previous attack, Naruto charged forward with a kunai in his hand. As he approached Mina, however, she suddenly broke through the wall of winds rushing at her.

"Wha–!?" Naruto said in surprise as the white-haired girl went in for a punch, hitting Naruto in the face, and sending him rolling backwards before he caught the ground with his hand and skidded backwards in a crouched position.

In the meantime, Saiokko threw three shuriken at Akagami, who dodged them before charging at her again as the skin on his left arm became blood red.

"Whoa!" Saiokko exclaimed as she just managed to move her body out of the way of the upward diagonal slash of Akagami's claws.

He didn't stop there, however, as he slashed them diagonally downwards next, causing Saiokko to duck before she jumped back as he slashed his claws diagonally up again, this time to the left and at a smaller angle.

Saiokko's face twisted into a cute frown as she looked at him.

"You're mean. I don't like you." She then crouched down as she held a kunai in a reverse grip in her right hand, and Akagami thought for an instance that he saw killing intent flash in her eyes as she got a serious expression on her face and spoke again "So I think I'm gonna kill you."

She charged forward with the kunai in hand and swiped it at Akagami as she closed in on him, but he defended himself with his left arm before going in for a jab with his right hand as that one was covered in the same kind of blood red skin.

To dodge it, Saiokko spun to her left and followed up by stabbing her kunai at Akagami, aiming for his eyes. She didn't notice Akagami's arm however, as it slammed into the side of her head before her kunai could reach.

She was knocked to the ground as several orbs flew from her body before she got up on her knees and rubbed the side of her head where Akagami had hit her with both her hands.

"Itai…" She groaned, not noticing Akagami creeping up behind her.

She looked over her shoulder before getting a scared expression on her face as she scurried away to the right just as Akagami's fist came down and struck the ground where she had just been, causing a small explosion of dust.

Saiokko rose to her feet as Akagami began walking towards her and she stepped backwards. Akagami stopped and suddenly began weaving a series of hand-signs.

"Futton: Futto Jokidan!" He fired several bullets of boiling water towards Saiokko. Saiokko crossed her arms before her face, but to her surprise, the water bullets hit the ground instead of her, causing the immediate area around her to be filled with steam.

She looked around in a slight panic as the steam was all around her, not knowing where Akagami's next attack could come from.

All of a sudden, she felt something and stepped back just in time to avoid something that shot in from her right side and passed by her at such a great speed that it was nothing but a blur to her.

'There!' She thought as she turned towards the direction that he had disappeared in, but just then, he came in again, but this time from what was now her left, and passed by just behind her back. He would have hit her if she hadn't turned around, though she did get a scratch across her back.

"Ugh!" She almost fell down on the ground, but managed to catch herself. As her eyes landed on the ground, however, she noticed a pitch black hole on the ground just to her left.

"!?" She moved back just in time as Akagami shot diagonally past her before disappearing into another black hole.

Quickly realizing what must be going on, Saiokko ran out of the steam, but just as she came out of it, Akagami appeared right in front of her and launched a punch aimed at her face. Hitting his mark, Akagami watched as Saiokko was risen slightly into the air before crashing with her back on the ground.

The male Uzumaki quickly gathered up as many orbs as he could before turning to look back towards Saiokko, only for his eyes to widen to find that she was gone.

"Kh…!" He looked around frantically "Where did she–!?"

As Akagami trailed off, Saiokko appeared behind him before swinging her kunai at him in a downwards slash. Reacting quickly enough, Akagami managed to spin around in time to block the attack using his left arm, which was still coated in the blood-red skin, however, something unexpected happened, and the arm wasn't able to block it. In fact, the kunai left a pretty deep cut in Akagami's arm as it went down.

Akagami stepped back in reflex as he held his right hand over the wound.

"What the hell!?" He had exclaimed in surprise as it happened before thinking 'Could she be using Armament Haki!?' One look at her kunai disproved that theory however, as the blade was still its normal iron-grey color, not the steel-black that Haki was usually associated with.

Being part Demon, Akagami's wound quickly healed itself, and he let go of his arm as he readied himself.

As he seized up the girl before him, there was something neither him nor her, nor the other two fighting in the background were realizing. And that was the effect that Saiokko's mere presence was having on the battle, as well as something terrible that was about to happen.

Naruto's Mindscape

"Hmm…?" The Kyubi looked up as he noticed something; all of a sudden, his chakra was becoming much stronger, and he looked towards the bars of his cage as, on the flip side, the seal was suddenly getting weaker.

And he smiled.

"Finally. I was really getting tired of this rotten cage." His Chakra easily over-powered the seal as it flowed through the bars, ripped off the sealing paper, and wiped off the sealing formula, before the gate was slammed open by some invisible force "I can finally get out of this damn brat!"

Real World

"Ungh!" Naruto suddenly clutched his stomach with both arms as the kunai he had been holding fell to the ground and he keeled over as he fell onto his knees. Then, red Chakra began flowing from Naruto's body as he writhed in pain, and the Chakra became much denser as it hugged his body and formed into the shape of a fox.

"No way… Is he a Jinchuriki like Han-sensei and Roshi-jiji!?" Mina exclaimed as she stepped backwards.

Naruto's eyes whitened for a minute before they turned red with black slits in them, and his grunts of pain soon degenerated into bestial growls.

"Grr-GRRRAAAAAAARRRRR!" Naruto roared, which also caught the attention of Akagami and Saiokko.

"Cool~! He became a fox~!" Saiokko said cheerfully.

'That red Chakra…!' Akagami thought "This isn't good!" He then charged towards Naruto.

"Hey, where are you going!?" Saiokko yelled after him before frowning.

Naruto raised his right arm before clenching it as he slammed it down into the ground, causing Mina to look at him in bewilderment.

"Get out of the way!" Akagami yelled as he suddenly pushed Mina aside.

"Hey, what are yo–!" Her voice stopped in her throat as a red Chakra arm burst out of the ground from beneath where she had just been and hit Akagami in the chin as it shot up.

Akagami took a couple steps back to regain his balance as the scratch he had received regenerated within seconds.

As Akagami stared at Naruto, enshrouded in the Kyubi's Cloak, he was reminded of something similar that had happened in his past.

Flashback

"N-Nee-chan…!?" Akagami was sitting with his back against the railing of the ship, the Kekkei Fortress. Before him, standing on all fours was one who no longer looked like his sister.

Her body was covered in red skin, and there was a white light coming through the rows of sharp teeth lining her mouth, and her eyes glowed a bright red color, as opposed to the dark red of the rest of her body. Her long hair was floating menacingly up into the air above her, and her nine red tails were doing the same.

Ever since he was young, Akagami had always been able to control the Red Skin Modo with ease, laughably so. His sister, Yukino, on the other hand had always had problems controlling it, despite being older. And for some reason, she has attempted to use the ultimate form of Red Skin Modo, one that even Akagami has had problems controlling; Red Skin Modo: Full Body.

As a result of failing to control it, Yukino had gone on a rampage, nearly killing half the crew.

"Nee-chan! It's me!" Akagami yelled, but to no avail as the form of his sister drew closer, looking as though she was ready to kill him, but…

"Mokuton: Shichuro no Jutsu!" Suddenly a prison of wood appeared around Yukino, and Akagami looked to the side to see a green-haired man and a purple-haired woman running towards them.

"Tsuri-san! Kessho-san!" The red-head yelled as he got onto his feet and began moving towards the green-haired man named; Tsuri, and the purple-haired woman; Kessho.

"No, Akagami-kun, get down!"

"Huh?"

The cage suddenly blew apart as splinters flew ever-which-way, and Akagami looked to his side to see the creature that was once his sister stare at him.

Kessho jumped into the air as she weaved a series of hand-signs.

"Shoton: Kyodaina Hasu no Jutsu!" She called out and a large pink crystal in the shape of a lotus appeared around Yukino, trapping her, as Kessho landed on it.

Tsuki came up in front of Akagami in order to protect him, should the crystal prove to be insufficient in holding back Yukino.

"Nani…!?" Kessho said as a crack appeared in the crystal, just under her feet. She jumped off the crystal as the whole thing blew apart, using her arms to protect herself from the deadly shards.

"Mokuton: Mokujoheki!" Pillars of wood came up around Tsuri and Akagami before locking together, forming an effective shield.

"Dammit…!" Tsuri cursed under his breath "Why did something like this have to happen while Youkai-sama was away. And even Kuroyomi is nowhere to be found."

The wooden shield was then ripped apart by Yukino as easily as tearing paper.

"Phew. Seems like I got here in time." Tsuri, Akagami, and the injured Kessho turned towards the voice to see Kuroyomi standing there.

"Kuroyomi, where have you been!?" Tsuri yelled "Hurry up, we need you to use your power!"

"Sorry, but I'm afraid that this is already beyond what I can do." Kuroyomi said.

"What!?" Kessho yelled as her and Tsuri's eyes widened.

"There is however someone who can. And the reason why none of you could find me was because I was out searching for her." Kuroyomi said before turning half-way around as he looked to someone that came up behind him "You know what to do, right?"

The person only nodded.

Akagami couldn't quite get a good look at her from his position behind Tsuri, but from what he could see, the person appeared to be a girl with long black hair in a pony-tail and she was wearing a Miko dress.

She stepped forward as she held up a golden folding fan, and she began moving it around in a wavy pattern. Soon, an orange aura came to life around her as flames suddenly burst up from the deck, covering the entirety of the bow of the ship, which is where they were.

The flames didn't harm Akagami, Tsuri, Kessho, Kuroyomi, or the Miko, however, but it did seem to harm Yukino as she screamed out in pain.

"Ah, Nee-chan!" Akagami yelled as he began running to her, but he was stopped by the sound of a single word.

"Purify." It was the unknown girl, and just as she had said it, the red skin covering Yukino's body began receding. It wasn't long till she was back to her normal form again and the flames vanished.

Akagami rushed over to his sister before looking towards the Miko who had already turned around to leave.

"Thank you for helping my sister!" The girl stopped momentarily as she smiled before continuing to walk as she spoke again.

"I'm leaving." And just like that, she disappeared.

Flashback end

'He's acting just like Nee-chan did back then.' Akagami thought.

Akagami's eyes widened when Naruto suddenly charged forward at speeds faster than his eyes could follow before he felt Naruto's palm slam into his chest and he was sent flying, crashing into the wall.

"… Ugh!" He groaned as he stared towards Naruto, his eyes widening as he saw a second tail.

"Grrr…" Naruto growled, returning the stare "Rrraaaarrr!"

The roar sent strong winds raging out in all directions, paralyzing the other three present due to the force of the roar. Naruto then looked around before settling his eyes on the youngest one there; Saiokko. And he charged at her. However, Saiokko, who should've been paralyzed just like Akagami and Mina, surprised everyone by jumping out of the way, almost as if the paralysis hadn't affected her.

As Naruto stopped where Saiokko had just been, he turned towards her as she was still in the air. His third tail grew as he let out another roar before jumping at her. Saiokko held her arms in front of her in an X, as if to protect herself, and Naruto's Chakra cloaked arms came down, sending the 10-year old girl flying into the ground a bit away with a loud crash.

When Naruto landed, he started groaning in pain as the fourth tail appeared and his skin was suddenly peeled off, and his entire body was covered in dark red Chakra, resembling Akagami's Red Skin Modo.

'Four tails!?' Mina thought in shock 'Which of the nine Biju does he have?'

What Mina didn't notice as she stared at the Jinchuriki was that the paralysis was now gone. Akagami on the other hand noticed, and ran towards Naruto as he weaved a series of hand-signs.

"Hyoton: Reito-Imochi!" Akagami called out and cold air was blown from his mouth. As it reached Naruto, the Jinchuriki was quickly covered in ice. Akagami then weaved another series of hand-signs.

"Raiton: Kaminari-Ransu!" After yelling the attack name, he clapped his hands together before separating them as a lance of silver lightning was formed, and he held it in his right hand as he thrust it into Naruto, causing the lightning from the lance to fly every-which way.

The ice encasing Naruto shattered as he howled out, a fifth tail appearing, and it slammed into Akagami's side as he was sent flying backwards before righting himself in mid-air and landing on the ground as he skidded to a stop in a crouching position. Still holding the lightning lance in his right hand, he stared at Naruto.

Naruto turned towards Akagami before rising his head and tails and many black spheres of pure Chakra formed before merging together to form a much larger black sphere.

'No way… so much Youkai! That sphere has to contain at least 1.000cc!' Akagami thought in surprise with wide eyes.

The black sphere shrunk to where it was the size of Naruto's head before he opened his mouth to the point where his jaw should've broken and ate the sphere. Knowing how bad it would be if the sphere made contact with anything at all in the Material Plane, Akagami threw his lightning lance at Naruto, despite lances not being throwing weapons. It hit its mark, but didn't seem to have any effect as Naruto just brushed it off.

Having climbed to his feet, Akagami held his arm out to his side as a portal appeared next to him and he put his hand into it before pulling out a large round shield that had a Demon face in the middle and was bigger than his whole body, and then put it down on the ground in front of him.

"This Makai Shield is made of the same material as the giant gates leading into Daemonium! Meaning that it can absorb Youkai! It doesn't matter if that attack of yours contains 1.000cc or even 1.000.000 as long as I have this shield!" Akagami proclaimed.

Naruto, ignoring Akagami's ramblings, opened his mouth, and fired off the sphere, which was sent flying at incredible speed towards Akagami. It impacted with the shield, but there weren't any massive explosions. Instead, the sphere was completely absorbed by Akagami's shield.

The red-head put the shield back in his dimension, and pulled out a large Demonic-looking lance.

"To compliment the Makai Shield which absorbs Youkai, this Makai Lance pierces all Youkai!" He said before charging towards Naruto.

Naruto fired off multiple red balls of Chakra towards Akagami who ran in a wide circle towards Naruto. Dust blew into the air around the quarter-Demon as the balls hit the ground around him, however, he weaved his way through the explosions before going down low against the ground as he reached Naruto, and he thrust the lance at the Jinchuriki's chest.

Saiokko looked towards them.

Akagami's eyes widened.

His brain couldn't quite understand what was happening. The lance made contact, but it wasn't penetrating.

"What…?" Akagami said in shock.

Naruto moved his right hand to his left side before delivering a back-hand slap on Akagami, sending him flying.

Just then, the sixth tail grew and a skeletal structure took form around him. It was at this point however, that a bright blue light erupted from his chest, or rather, from a necklace around his neck. Blue tendrils of Chakra came out of the necklace as it floated away from Naruto's chest, and the tendrils began to try and restrain him.

Naruto attempted to fight back, but the necklace proved too powerful as the tendrils grabbed his wrists and ankles, and the red Chakra covering him began receding.

"Graaarrr! Rrraaaarrr!" Naruto roared in pain, though he didn't give up as he unleashed a huge pressure of Chakra at such intensity that Mina began finding it hard to breathe.

Naruto's Mindscape

The sewers of before were no longer present. Now the place looked like it was within a large blue gas cloud. In actuality, that "gas cloud" was actually Naruto's Chakra, and in the middle was a dark red cloud of Chakra.

This red cloud was actually the Kyubi. Rather than his usual fur, his body was now covered in the same kind of dark red Chakra as what had previously covered Naruto.

Before the massive form of the Biju stood Naruto, seemingly floating in the nebula-like space.

"Stop this! This is my body you're using! I won't allow you to use it to attack anyone!" He yelled.

"You're still trying to resist?" The Kyubi asked credulously as he looked down at the blond "I've already broken the seal! There's nothing to stop me from leaving your body! And when I do, you'll be dead!"

"I won't let that happen!" Naruto yelled resolutely "Even if you've broken through the seal, I'll stop you with my bare hands if I'll have to!"

At this, the Kyubi raised his right paw before thrusting it down towards Naruto, however, before his claws could penetrate the boy's skull, they were deflected as a shield appeared around the boy, the source of the shield being the glowing blue necklace around his neck.

"Grrr. It would appear you have another seal on you." The Kyubi said as his voice began getting weaker "You better make sure to never take off that necklace, 'cause if you do, I'll be ready to break out."

Real World

Naruto slowly opened his eyes as he stood in the arena where the battle was still going. He felt a twinge of pain all over his body as he realized that all of his skin had somehow been torn off. He looked forward, and there he saw Akagami, Mina, and Saiokko fighting. Or rather, Akagami and Mina seemed to have teamed up as they were trying to land hits on Saiokko, but none made contact.

Akagami, both arms covered in Red Skin, attempted to slash at Saiokko numerous times, but she expertly dodged every single strike, not even bothering to block.

"Yoton: Sekkaigyo no Jutsu!" Mina called out as she fired several globs of quicklime at Saiokko, but she dodged even that. And what's more, one of the globs even hit Akagami's foot, though being a fire-based Demon, he broke out of it instantly as fire-based techniques don't have any effect on him.

"Hey, what did you do that for!?" Akagami yelled.

"Oh, shut up, why don't you? You broke out of it immediately, didn't you?" Mina retorted.

"Dammit." Akagami turned back towards Saiokko "And why are you just dodging? Fight back already! It's already been an hour since the battle started."

'An hour?' Naruto thought, confused 'But it feels like it's only been 30 minutes.' He then looked to the speakers on the ceiling 'And besides. Up till now, all the other battles had a one-hour time-limit, but I'm not hearing that teme announcing that time's up.'

Naruto had no idea what was going on. Maybe the tenth match just lasted longer? That could be it, but either way, if one hour had really passed, then he needed to hurry up. If he was to move on, then he would need to come out of this fight with the most points, and Saiokko was still the one who held the most points. A quick glance over to her point counter revealed that she now had nearly 7.000 points. She had actually gone up, and by a lot.

'I should help them out.' Naruto thought before he took a step forward. Just as his foot landed on the ground however, a huge pressure suddenly came down on them.

"Ugh…!?" Saiokko felt something pulsating painfully throughout her body and she clutched her stomach before screaming out in pain.

"IIIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Wh-what's going on!?" Akagami asked.

"No idea!" Mina said.

The black dragon tattoo on Saiokko's cheek then pulsated like a heart-beat before it expanded to cover her entire face, leaving only her now pure white eyes visible. The black tattoo then went on to cover the rest of her body.

Naruto had seen something like this before. Back in Dahngrest when he had fought Saina, another Uzumaki and servant of Acnologia.

Flashback

"Heh. You really think it'll be that easy to beat me?" Saina asked smugly before getting an intimidating look on her face as she said "How pathetic." Then she suddenly started yelling out as a shockwave was released from her body as a dark red aura with a pitch black outline surrounded her. The tattoo on her left cheek then started expanding as her skin started to turn black, and the sclerae of her right eye turned black as her eyes began glowing red.

"What's going on?" Estelle asked as she held her left arm in front of her face to cover her eyes from the strong winds being emitted from the female Uzumaki's body.

'Kh. What's going on!?' Naruto yelled in his thoughts before his eyes widened as he saw the image of a large black Dragon behind Saina 'That's…! Acnolodramon!' He then threw out his arm and pointed at the girl "Celebi! Time Travel! Send her to a time where she can't do any damage!"

"Cele…!" Celebi began as she closed her eyes before they snapped open again "Bi!" Her antennae then started glowing brightly as the glow in her eyes and blue hue around both her and Saina's bodies intensified.

"Oh no, you don't." A voice said before several blasts of energy suddenly shot down around Celebi, disrupting her. Everyone then looked up towards where the voice and subsequent attack had come from to see Nekomimi sitting on a broom above one of the roofs.

Flashback end

The image of a large black Dragon appeared behind Saiokko, and Naruto immediately reached for his Poké-Balls, intending to have Celebi send Saiokko to another time period before she could finish her transformation.

He was too late however, as a pillar of pure black energy shot up around Saiokko's body, reaching all the way to the ceiling as her scream became even more intense. Three eyes then appeared on the pillar of black energy, two diagonal and one vertical.

Naruto had no way of knowing of course, but these three eyes was the symbol often associated with Madness, an Extra-Dimensional force which corrupts everything that it touches.

Suddenly the Madness, which had previously had a more gas-like appearance stiffened as if it became solid, and then crumbled and collapsed onto the ground in a black pool with Saiokko standing in the middle of it. The now liquid Madness then began traveling up Saiokko's body, covering her completely, before it once again solidified and sunk into her skin.

When Saiokko opened her eyes, her already rather pale skin tone had become even paler as it was now even paler than Orochimaru's if that was even possible. Her eyes had the same pattern of rings and tomoe he had seen in Acnolodramon's, however, while his were red, Saiokko's were violet. There was also an odd-looking vertical slit in the center of Saiokko's forehead, and coming out of her forehead on either side of it was a horn almost resembling a rabbit ear that was one foot in length. Her hair, which still had the ribbon in it, had also turned white.

Aside from her ribbon however, the rest of her clothing had changed drastically. She now wore a large white robe, reminiscent of a certain Sage. And finally, in her right hand was some kind of black staff and behind her back were ten black orbs floating in mid-air.

'What the…? Just what the heck… is she…?!' Naruto thought in shock.

"Wha-wha-t-ha-pp-ene-d-to-he-r?" Akagami asked in bewilderment.

"He-ey-tr-ans-fo-rmi-ng-i-n-the-e-m-i-ddl-e-of-t-he-ba-ttl-e-sho-ul-d-be-a-ga-in-st-the-ru-les-s!" Mina yelled.

Every other second, the World was covered in a blanket of grey, and during that second, all movement and sound stopped. One could almost compare it to an Online Game which constantly lagged.

'What's going on here?' Naruto thought. The strange phenomena aside, the power that Saiokko was exuding, he had felt something similar to it before, but he couldn't quite remember when.

"Kit." Naruto heard a familiar voice inside his head.

'Kyubi?' He thought in surprise, not having expected the Biju to suddenly talk to him.

"That girl before you, she's dangerous. If you want to beat her, you'll need to listen to me." The Kyubi said.

'Why are you suddenly helping me? What are you up to?' Naruto asked.

"The seal may be broken, but I'm still inside of you. Meaning that I will still die if you die." The Kyubi said.

'All right, fox, what is it?' Naruto asked, hardly believing that the fox was actually helping him.

"I don't know what kind of powers she has, but I do have a theory…" Before he could continue, Saiokko suddenly moved, being still able to move even during the points when everything else have come to a stop.

Akagami and Mina both moved in to intercept her, but she side-stepped both of their attacks and then blew them away with just the flick of her wrist. She followed this up by firing one of the black balls towards Naruto, who hardly got any time to think before he jumped to the side to avoid it.

"WHOA!" He exclaimed as he dodged it before staring towards Saiokko.

"Behind you!" Naruto looked over his shoulder only for his eyes to widen as the black ball flew towards him. He ducked down just in time to let the ball fly by over him. Just as he got back up on his feet, Saiokko appeared in front of him and thrust her left arm into his guts with such force that he was sent flying at an unimaginable speed before crashing into the wall with such force that the walls, which previously hadn't been even slightly affected by even the fiercest of attacks vibrated violently. The vibration causing the ground along the walls to be carved out, and cracks even appeared all across the battlefield.

As Naruto tried to regain his bearings while leaning against the wall with his arm, he looked up only for his eyes to widen. The black sphere shot towards him and there was then a tremendous explosion which covered nearly half the battlefield, carving out a huge crater in the process.

"D-amn-it!" Akagami said before red Youkai flared up around his arms "I-wo-n-'t-le-t-yo-u-m-ak-ke-a-fo-ol-ou-t-of-me-e!"

He followed up this statement by charging towards Saiokko, his movements coming to a complete stop every other second, but he didn't seem to realize this himself as he approached his fellow Uzumaki.

He swung down his right hand diagonally, but Saiokko leaned back to avoid it, a bored expression on her face, one which she had had since the transformation. Akagami followed up with a strike from his left arm, aiming for her neck, but she easily side-stepped it. He continued with several other attacks, even using his tails, but Saiokko dodged every single one. To Akagami's bewilderment, she even seemed to completely disappear and reappear at short intervals, which, unknown to him, was because she could move through the stopped time.

Three shuriken flew through the air towards Saiokko, having been thrown by Mina, however, even though they had been thrown from Saiokko's blind-spot, they were still affected by the stops in time, so Saiokko already knew of them. But rather than dodging the three shuriken, she grabbed them out of mid-air and threw them towards Akagami who had to shield himself with his arms.

As he began to move his arms away from his face, he was shocked to find Saiokko right in front of him. The young girl stopped right in front of him, and she raised her right foot before digging it in the ground with such force that cracks appeared in the ground around them, before it suddenly began collapsing and Akagami lost his balance.

"Wha–!?" Saiokko moved in to attack him, but that's when Mina came up behind her as she charged Chakra into her right leg, and she aimed a kick at Saiokko.

Saiokko noticed the incoming attack, and spun around before blocking it with her staff, a powerful shockwave which sent Akagami flying backwards erupting from the point of impact. Then, as time stopped for a second, Saiokko moved in under Mina's raised leg and was about to make an attack of her own, but just then…

"RASENGAN!" Saiokko reacted instantly and jumped back as Naruto came down and crashed the Rasengan into the ground where she had just been. Celebi then came down and her eyes glowed blue as a wave of psychic energy erupted from her body and rapidly expanded in all directions.

Saiokko didn't seem to be affected by it at all, however, as she just stood there, staring at them with a bored expression as the psychic energy swept past her.

"What!? No damage at all!?" Naruto exclaimed in surprise.

He had been lucky, how he had managed to escape from the black sphere and subsequent explosion before. As soon as he saw the black ball, he had reacted quickly enough to pull out Celebi's Poké-Ball and yelled out the first command that came to his head, and that was for the Time-Travel Pokémon to take them a couple seconds into the future, past the explosion.

"He-y-wh-at-a-re-you-u-doi-ing!? I-ne-ver-r-as-ke-ed-fo-r-hel-lp! An-d-I-ce-rta-ai-nl-y-wou-ld-ne-ve-er-as-sk-fo-r-he-lp-fr-om-yo-u!" Mina said. It was honestly rather annoying how her voice stopped every other second.

"Don't you think you're going a bit far for a tournament?" Naruto asked, ignoring Mina as he just stared at Saiokko, but he didn't get any response.

"I don't think she's going to respond." The Kyubi said.

'Huh? What do you mean?' Naruto asked.

"Whatever her powers are, it's clear that she doesn't know how to control them. In fact, judging by her own reactions to phenomena caused by her powers, I doubt she's aware she even has them." The Kyubi said "When she transformed, her powers overpowered her, meaning that right now, she's nothing more than a mindless puppet, only driven by her own instincts."

'What are her powers anyway? You said before that you had a theory, right?' Naruto wondered.

"That's right." The Kyubi replied "I'm not entirely certain, but I think her powers have something to with controlling the odds."

'Controlling the odds? What does that even mean?' Naruto asked.

"Essentially, she is able to tip the odds of a fight in the favor of the losing party." Naruto listened intently as the Kyubi explained "An example of this would be when she tipped the odds in my favor, letting me easily overpower the seal that was trapping me. Then later when my powers had become large enough on the outside to be able to overpower the seal in that necklace that man's granddaughter gave you, the odds were tipped again, this time in the favor of the seal." Pausing for a bit to let it sink in, the Kyubi soon continued "This is also why even before her transformation, she was able to dodge every attack thrown at her. Because you outnumbered her. My guess would be that she had a hard time at first, but as her points started piling up, her opponents began seeing her as a credible threat, so they teamed up against her."

'But in that case, now that she's transformed, shouldn't we have the upper hand?' Naruto asked.

"I was wondering about that myself, but if you stop to think about it for a second, it makes sense." The Kyubi said.

'Huh?'

"It's a number's game." The Kyubi said "Maybe her powers are ignoring the strength of the individual and is instead focusing on the number of opponents."

'I see.' Naruto sighed as he looked at Saiokko 'But that still doesn't explain why everything is so messed up. And why aren't I affected?'

"I'm afraid I don't have any answer to that. Since I can't see a way in which this time-stopping power is related to her other abilities, I can only guess that she must have two different powers, but that in itself is also a stretch. As for why it doesn't seem to affect you, my guess would be that it's because you have Celebi." The Kyubi explained.

'So, what am I supposed to do?' Naruto asked.

"Recall Celebi and knock out the other two, so that it's only you and the girl left." The Kyubi said.

'What?' Naruto asked.

"If I'm right about her powers, then you need to bring this to a 1v1. And you can't use any big flashy Jutsu against her either. You will want to make yourself seem as weak as you possibly can in front of her." The Kyubi said.

'Will that really work?' Naruto asked.

"Her powers may be troublesome, but they are also a double-edged sword. I'm certain it will." The Kyubi said.

Naruto held up Celebi's ball, returning her to its confines. He then turned around to face Mina.

"Sorry about this." He said, causing Mina to blink in confusion, partly because what she had heard went something along the lines of "Srybouths".

And before Mina got the chance to react, Naruto had punched her in the gut with such force that she collapsed onto the ground unconscious. Looking back towards Saiokko, the blond Uzumaki noticed Akagami coming up behind the girl. He had to act quickly.

Naruto charged towards Saiokko, who got ready to deflect both of their attacks. Naruto surprised both of them, however, as he charged up a Rasengan before jumping above Saiokko where he then delivered it to Akagami's chest, sending him flying into the wall as he fell unconscious.

"Now there's just the two of us left." Naruto said as he looked into the girl's eyes, but then he noticed something that shocked him. She didn't have a bored expression at all, no, her expression was completely life-less. Naruto gritted his teeth, wondering who it was that had given such a sweet and innocent girl a transformation that did this to her.

The screams during her transformation now made sense to him.

Saiokko pointed her staff at Naruto, and two of the black balls flew at him. Naruto jumped up into the air to avoid them, and he followed up by throwing a series of shuriken down at Saiokko. She grabbed all of them, however, and threw them all back. Naruto crossed his arms in front of his face and pulled up his legs to block them.

'Dammit! I can't even use weapons!?' Naruto thought before hearing a sound coming from below, and he looked down behind him to see one of the black balls coming towards him 'Oh, shoo–!'

The black ball impacted with him, causing a massive explosion, and it was soon followed by the second ball, causing the explosion to become twice as large.

After the explosions, Naruto fell down to the ground, badly damaged, but still very much alive and even conscious.

'H-how am I alive…?' He wondered as he slowly climbed to his feet before looking at his young opponent 'Could her power be increasing my odds of survival or something?' And he finished by speaking out loud "Dammit. I don't know whether that's a blessing or a curse."

Of course, being that the attacks would've normally killed him, one would think that surviving would be a blessing. But on the other hand, it also meant that Saiokko could just continue to attack him, and that he would be unable to die from it meant that it would be like a living hell.

Naruto charged at Saiokko who sent another black ball towards him. This time however, Naruto had an idea, and as the black sphere was about to hit him, he knocked it away using the back of his right hand, and it worked. The ball was sent flying into the wall a bit away where it exploded. He had half-expected Saiokko to be surprised by it, but she still held the same life-less expression as always.

As he approached her, Saiokko raised her staff before slamming it into the ground, causing more cracks to spread, and countless small rocks shot up from the ground, many of which hit Naruto, causing him to lose his balance and fall backwards.

One of the black balls suddenly changed its shape into some kind of thin wall-like blade and dropped itself down on the blond boy, but Naruto managed to twist his body out of the way as the blade hit the ground instead.

Naruto rolled along the cracked ground before coming to a stop as he was on all four. Climbing to his feet, he stared towards the white-haired Uzumaki, trying to think of a way to get close enough so that he could attack her. That's when he came to a realization. While she had started with ten balls, four of those balls had exploded, and, counting the one currently turned into a blade, she only had six left. If he could maybe just get her to use up all of the black balls, then he'd be able to reach her.

However, one huge problem to this plan soon showed itself when he noticed that another one of the spheres began changing shape. Getting a bad premonition, he ran out of the way, and all of a sudden, a black beam shot past him at easily a hundred times the speed of light, and impacted with the wall, though it surprisingly enough was unable to pierce it.

It took Naruto a couple seconds to realize that this beam was actually the sphere that had morphed into some kind of almost wire-thin pole and extended. Getting another bad premonition, Naruto quickly ducked as the pole swung around in his direction at the same speed, only stopping at the drop of a hat just before it could cut off Saiokko's head.

A series of spikes began protruding from another sphere before the spikes suddenly shot out in all directions, easily piercing the ground, though they were still stopped by the walls and ceiling.

"Wha–!?" Naruto hadn't been hit by any of the spikes, but his movement had been severely limited. Feeling the ground shaking beneath him, he jumped backwards just in time to avoid a series of spikes which erupted from the ground, eventually forcing him to the crevice that had been created by the walls, the final spike that emerged from the ground slightly grazing his right shoulder.

It would seem that Saiokko had stopped using the balls as bombs, instead settling for more unconventional weapons.

Once more getting a bad premonition, Naruto ducked down, and suddenly, all of the spikes were cut at level with where his neck had been earlier, and the spikes above that point all turned into particles before disappearing. It took no genius to figure that it was the pole that had cut through everything. If he didn't have those premonitions, Naruto would've definitely been dead right now.

'Dammit. I need to think of a way to make her use up all of her balls.' He thought as he rose to his feet.

All of the remaining spikes suddenly shattered, filling Naruto's vision, and the ball that they had come out from shot out another spike which headed straight for Naruto.

The blond boy noticed the thing coming for him, and did something unpredictable. He moved slightly to the right, letting it pierce through his shoulder.

"Ungh…!" He grunted in pain before grabbing it with his right hand and pressing down on it as hard as he could, but remembering the Kyubi's words, he decided to let up on his grip a little, and cracks suddenly started appearing across the spike before it shattered. All the shards filling his vision then disappeared.

It still wasn't over, though. There were still another five balls left.

Taking a deep breath, Naruto prepared himself for what would come next. Right now, the biggest problems would be the one shaped like a thin wall-like blade and the one shaped like a thin pole, but he also couldn't forget about the two floating behind her back. Wait, two?

Naruto's eyes widened as he came to the realization, but it was a bit too late as he suddenly felt his vision blurring.

"Wha–? What's going on…?" He asked as he collapsed onto the ground, falling unconscious.

What he didn't know was that the missing ball had broken itself down into tiny particles before entering his body through the wound in his shoulder. From there it had begun attacking his body from the inside by entering his blood vessels and striking other important organs, much like a virus.

The girl didn't revert back however, despite there not being any way for the boy to survive. She didn't revert back because she knew that despite the odds, the boy would survive.

And sure enough, he rose back to his feet, the "virus" having been overrun and driven out by Naruto's much weaker immune system.

'I think… I think I know what to do…' Naruto thought as he panted.

The thin pole then swung around, aiming at Naruto's neck, but just as it impacted, it broke in half and the whole thing shattered. The thin wall-like blade followed up by appearing above him and then dropping down, aiming to cut him in half down the middle, but again, it broke apart as it came into contact with him.

Raising her left hand, Saiokko sent the remaining two balls flying at the blond. They both made contact and blew up in a brilliant explosion. But as the light from the blasts faded, the blond just stood there, completely untouched.

He then took one step forward, then another one, then another, until it turned into a full-on charge.

In retaliation, Saiokko raised her staff before slamming it into the ground, causing the entire World to get covered in a blanket of grey, only leaving herself and Naruto with colors. She then swung the staff out to the side as black particles began gathering in the ring at the end.

"Naruto, I have a bad feeling about what she's trying to do. I don't think you'll survive that attack if it hits you, even with her powers in effect." Naruto heard the Kyubi's voice in his head.

'Then what am I supposed to do?' He asked.

"Raise your right hand." Was the Kyubi's reply.

'What?' Naruto thought.

"I was looking through your mind to try and find something which may help your situation, and I seem to have stumbled upon something rather interesting." The Kyubi said.

'Something interesting? Like what?' Naruto asked.

"It's something that I found deep inside your psyche. I'm not quite sure how it's possible myself or even where this power comes from, but for one time only, it can grant you an ability which you shouldn't gain till some point in the future. Let's call it Shorai no Noryoku." The Kyubi said.

'Why would I have an ability like that?' Naruto asked.

"How am I supposed to know!?" The Kyubi yelled back "Anyway, it appears that you will get an ability in the future that will help you stop that attack, so I'm forcing that on you right now."

And he cut the connection.

'Raise my right hand, he says…' Naruto thought as he looked at his right hand 'All right, then.' And he raised the hand in question.

At the same time, a black ball had formed in the ring at the end of Saiokko's staff, though this one was clearly different from the others, as it had three eyes emblazoned on it. Two diagonal, and one vertical.

Saiokko thrust the staff forward, sending the ball flying, and at the same time, Naruto thrust his right hand forward. The two, ball and hand, met on the halfway point, and all of a sudden the ball disappeared before Naruto clenched the hand into a fist and pulled it back as he set his foot down just in front of Saiokko, who was starting to move to dodge the incoming attack, but she was too slow as Naruto's right fist impacted with her face, sending her flying.

She crashed into the ground a bit away. It didn't take a genius to know that she was unconscious. The World also returning to its normal colors.

Naruto breathed heavily as he looked up at the point counters, starting with Saiokko's. 6.435. Akagami's were at 367, and Mina's were at 1.569. Naruto's on the other hand was all the way down at 1. Only a single point. Maybe that was why Saiokko's attacks had stopped doing damage to him? Now that he thought about it, he did notice how the orbs had stopped coming out of him after he was pierced through the shoulder.

Well, either way, with the other three knocked out, a single point or not, Naruto should be the winner by default. Which was confirmed shortly as the snake teme's voice could be heard over the speakers.

"Oh, my. That certainly was a close one. One could almost think you had a miracle on your side. Or maybe your victory was a certainty? At any rate, none of your opponents are moving, so you're the winner of this match. Congratulations, you're moving on to the second round of the tournament."

Character Information

Name: Oscar.

Age: 28

Affiliation: Crimean Knights (former), Greil Mercenaries, Uzushiogakure.

Affinity: Earth.

Likes: His brothers, the Greil Mercenaries, The Late Commander Greil.

Dislikes: Ashnard, People who would harm his brothers and friends.

Info: Oscar was once a member of the 12th Regiment of the Crimean Knights. However, upon his father's passing, he was forced to quit in order to take care of his two younger brothers. Hardly able to get by, they were eventually found by Commander Greil, leader of the Greil Mercenaries, who took pity on them and offered them a place in his band of Mercenaries. It was then, years later that Greil would find his untimely death at the hands of the Black Knight, and his son, Ike, took over the band of Mercenaries. Continuing to support Ike, Oscar fought under his command even when Ike was the General of the Crimean Liberation Army, and still three years later on the side of the Laguz in the Laguz-Begnion War. After the war, Oscar was planning to return to service in the Crimean Army, but when they heard that the Heron Prince, Rafiel, had disappeared, he accompanied the rest of the Mercenaries in search of him.

Kurama no Kyubi: In case you're wondering, while in their Apocalypse-Forme, the members of the Dragon Guard may range from Multiversal to Hyperversal, with Saiokko of course being Multiversal. Well, except for Oka that is, being as she's already Hyperversal in her base form. And FYI, at full power, all of the Perfect are Hyperversal as well, with the three strongest ones possibly bordering over to Hyperversal+.

One more thing before I close off this Season; I had the idea of having a "Season preview" at the end of each Season before the next Season, so here's a preview of Season 3, and it will probably also be the last time I'm using the preview format I've used up till now. Characters that haven't appeared or been named yet, or if I'm just keeping their identities secret for now will be listed as "unknown", with a few exceptions to keep the hype flowing. If it is someone you know though, I'll add a question mark.
