Chapter 34
Sasuke tensed as he faced the changed form of Kimimaro. 'I need to go after Goku... I need answers. But with this guy. Why do I have to be the one without chi. I could have finished this so quickly.'
"In order to complete Orochimaru's objective... I will stop you here... Sasuke Uchiha!" Kimimaro rushed forward with a sudden increase of pace. "Tessenka no mai!" Kimimaro drew his spine from his back. "Tsuru!" Sasuke ducked the swing and his eyes widened as bones shot out and spiralled round Kimimaro's free right arm. "Hana!" Sasuke could only watch as the bone closed in on his eye.
Instantly a figure burst from the tree's and in the figure's speed spread the grass to ways. "Dainamikkku!" Sasuke could only blink as Kimimaro vanished from his vision. "Entorii!!" The figure skidded to a stop and Sasuke blinked again. But he quickly smirked.
"What took you so long... Lee?" Lee smirked from his crouched position. His left arm back behind him with his right in front.
"Sorry Sasuke-san... But..."
"I insisted we leave with Temari and Kankuro so we could locate the rest of the group." Sasuke looked behind him to see Garra and Sakura.
"Sasuke... You ok?" Sakura asked as Sasuke nods. Sakura glanced about. "Goku..."
"Ran off." The group glanced to Sasuke. "He's waiting for you... But..."
"Don't worry." Garra spoke. He then eyed Kimimaro. "Sasuke... You and the rest go on. I'll deal with this guy." Sasuke glanced to Garra and shook his head.
"No... This is my fight. You go on. I'll catch up."
"If you say so... Sakura, Lee." Garra called as the group began to move. Garra stopped. "Where he go?"
"Behind Kimimaro. He's heading for the boarder. The valley of end is there." Sasuke stated. The group nod and as they leave Sasuke spoke again. "Sakura." Sakura looked to Sasuke.
"Hm?"
"In my current state. I doubt I'll hold him off. So... In case I don't get this chance to say it... I'm sorry." Sakura blinked.
"For...?"
"For what I did in wave..." Sasuke sighed. "When you were with Ino... I attacked you two under a henge as the mist ninja." Sakura froze.
XXXX
'Ones gathering incredible chakra... Could it be Kakashi?' Sakura mussed as the figure dashed forward. Sakura blinked as a figure passed her. 'The hunter ninja!' Sakura didn't waste time. She rushed chakra into her legs and vanished. 'What you doing? I should have put you down?!' Sakura appeared in front of Haku.
"I will save Zabuza-sama!" Haku called as he flipped one handed seals.
Sakura moved in fast. "I will beat you down here and now. You will not escape like in the forest."
"What do you mean? I've only just met you." Sakura blinked as Haku vanished. She skidded to a stop.
XXXX
"You mean..." Sakura muttered.
"I was annoyed with Goku's progress... And I decided to see if you had improved to... I wasn't going to kill you... But I was slightly surprised with myself with what happened. I know I can't be forgiven right now... But I hope to be forgiven after this."
Sakura took a breath. She glanced to Sasuke. "Thank you..." With that she took off with the other two in tow.
Sasuke smirked as he faced Kimimaro. 'She's forgiven me a little... Least I know I'll be able to fight without having anything left to say in case I die.' Sasuke twirled his blade in his hand. "Get ready Kimimaro!" Sasuke said gripping the blade tight, "This is the final round." The blade slowly lit up as flames began to rise from the steel.

Meanwhile in the valley with Kiba. The Inuzuka was slowly pulling himself out of the river some way down. 'One's getting closer... I just need to hold on a bit longer...' Kiba flinched as he held his wound. 'I need to keep this dry...' Kiba picked up Akamaru and he slowly wondered into the forest in front of him. Kiba ducked behind a tree and lay there. He wondered if he was going to be saved in time. And also wondered if they got to Goku by now? Kiba blinked as he picked up a scent.
'What?' Kiba glanced behind him. 'No... He's caught up... Crap... I can't move...' Kiba looked down with a light chuckle. 'I'm so screwed... Hey boy?' Kiba mussed petting Akamaru. 'Looks like we won't be saved in time.
XXXX
Shikamaru... Well he was still in a battle of domination with his shadow. 'This is bad...' Shikamaru mussed as he tried to push. 'At this rate... I'll run completely out of chakra. There has to be some sort of strategy? Come on Shikamaru... Think!'
XXXX
Wind howled over the waterfall that Ukog looked over. His red eyes staring down into the valley below. He didn't even move as three people tapped against the floor. He chuckled.
"It's good to see you again..." Ukog spoke turning to the three. "Sakura...Chan." Sakura glared at the teen. "Oh what's this? Not the same person I saw last time? Is that anger I see this time over fear?" Ukog smiled. "This will be fun."
"Enough talk..." Garra spoke. "We're going to stop you and get Goku back." Ukog held his hand up and waved it.
"Not so fast demon boy." Ukog said with a smirk. A glare evident on Garra. "I want my fight to be exciting. But it's not yet."
"...." The group glanced to each other. Ukog chuckled.
"I want to see how your friends do. After they finish I would like to say a few things before you try and get Goku back. So go ahead... Rest. Plan if need be. I won't be in any worry to attack. Think yourself lucky." With that Ukog sat down and closed his eyes. The group looked to Ukog and looked to each other.
Should they attack? Or should they wait?
"Three..." The group glanced to Ukog. But he was muttering to himself.
XXXXX
'I need a miracle...' Shikamaru yelled to himself.
XXXXX
'Phew... His scent is fading... I'm safe.'
"Boo." Kiba's face turned to panic as he faced either Ukon or Sakon. The guy was wearing Kiba's jacket.
'Shit...'
"I thought so..." Ukon said with a smirk. "It's harder to pick up your own scent. It's all too familiar."
"You removed your own scent with mine. I'm impressed. You do know how odor works. Looks like this is it."
Ukon smirked drawing a kunai. Kiba smirked back. "I should have expected this... With you being able to split up. Guess I wasn't thinking too far ahead." Ukon drew the kunai back.
"I'm standing right before you and you can only smile. No begging for your life?"
"I don't plan on dying." Kiba smirked.
"Heh. I'll remove that smirk right off your face!" Ukon yelled.
XXXXX
'Well this is it... I can't figure a single way out of this one. I'm done for.' Shikamaru mussed as he shadow shot back. Tayuya drew the kunai back.
"Now die!"
Before the kunai could hit a gust of wind sent the woman flying. Shikamaru blinked in surprise.
XXXXX
Kiba's smirk remained as Ukon's kunai was stuck in a figure before him. It's head down. 'About time damn it...'
"What's this?" Ukon growled.
"Allies of Konoha." Ukon looked behind him as he saw Kankuro.
"Suna Shinobi?"
"Yeah... Pretty much." Kankuro said with a smirk.
XXXXX
Shikamaru sighed with relief as Temari stepped forward. "Sakura got to you in time... I was expecting you to be here faster?"
"Me and Kankuro can't fly you idiot. The group stayed with us till they felt best we could locate you without much trouble. Lee, Garra and Sakura are after Goku."
"That's good."
"Now step back." Shikamaru glared at the woman. "I'll deal with her from here."
"No thanks... A man can't have a woman defending him." Temari glanced to Shikamaru.
"Still on about men this, women that. Look you fool; you don't have to pose for me. I can see right through you!"
"Geez.... You two are annoying." Tayuya called drawing her flute up.
"Watch it... that's how she uses her genjutsu."
"Duh." Temari drew her fan as Tayuya played her music. "Dai Kamaitachi! no jutsu!" The wind cut strait through the music and the tree's as it rushed up to Tayuya. The flute was cut in two as the woman made her escape to try again.
'She's both offence and defence. She not only stopped the music. But damaged our foe. She's got some impressive jutsu.' Shikamaru mussed to himself.
XXXXX
Ukon jumped back as the cloaked figure's arm shot forward releasing a pointed blade. "A puppet huh?" Ukon muttered looking at Kankuro.
"You took your time." Kiba called.
"Just be glad I'm here now. So shut up and leave this guy to me now." Kiba snorted.
"Go ahead..." Kiba blinked. "Oi! Behind you!" Kankuro looked up as Sakon dropped down. Kankuro gripped onto Sakon's arm, but the older male was too strong. As Sakon's hand rested on Kankuro's head.
"Sakon! I'm leaving them to you." Ukon called.
"Oi!" Kiba called. "Get away, he's going to enter your body!" Kiba stated.
"Too late now..." Sakon blinked as Kankuro's face cracked. Kankuro smirked as he gripped tight to Sakon's arm.
"Sakon what's wrong?" Ukon called as Kankuro's face melted into sand. A brown long face stared at Sakon.
"Guess your jutsu doesn't work on puppet's..." Kankuro spoke showing himself from the ribbons.
'A puppet as well?!' Sakon mentally growled.
"Say a good hello to Kuroari, the ant!" Kankuro called as the puppet tore into Sakon. "It'll leave you in a bind."
'Thank god he's on my side. And good thing I didn't get to fight him as an enemy.' Sakon fell back as blood dripped from the wounds made by Kuroari. Kankuro turned the puppet on Ukon and it raced forward. Ukon jumped away. Sakon returned to normal as Ukon shifted to level 2. Kankuro blinked as Ukon fused back with Sakon.
"What's with them?"
"That's their power."
"He may have caught you off guard. But still, you lost to a puppet..." Ukon growled. The teen smirked as he looked at the ant, his form returning to normal. "That one's no match to take us down. It's not that strong or fast." Ukon patted his stomach." Good... The wounds healed. 'I'm running low on chakra. But these two should be enough.' He then tapped his foot. 'Not easy to be the main body. It's hard to move in this thing.'
"You guy's take me for a fool?" Kankuro taunted. Kiba looked up.
"Oi! Their stronger than you think. We should retreat!"
"What, back down now? And let them think I'm a coward?" The crow rushed Ukon and the male jumped back. A set of multiple clicks echoed up as Ukon landed into the ant's chest case. Before Ukon had time to move. He'd fallen in and the door shut.
"The ant isn't an offensive type. He's designed to capture prey. The crow is for my attacking." As Kankuro finished. The crow fell appear. Each of its arm's and leg's and head drawing a blade from the base. "It's time to finish this puppet show!" Kankuro yelled as he drew his arms in. The blades shot forward and dug into the ant's body. "Kairai engeki: Kuro higi kiki ippatru!"
A low scream of agony shook Kiba to the core. That was one way he wouldn't ever want to go.
XXXXXX
"Two..."Ukog spoke as the genin looked to Ukog from the trees.
XXXXXX
"She's runoff..." Shikamaru muttered.
"With her tail between her legs." Temari finished. Shikamaru shook his head.
"No... It's not the way she works. She's still here."
"So tell me about her?"
"She's the basic long range genjutsu fighter type. Her first move is to bind the enemy with her flute. Then while under, she'll jump them. I'm guessing after she saw how quickly you defeated her genjutsu, and the fact it's now two against one. She'll hide herself so she can cast another genjutsu."
"Sound huh?"
"Yeah... No need to explain to you about Genjutsu. I'm sure you know it affects the five senses."
"What do you think I am? stupid or something?" She drew her fan forward. "I'm finishing this now. We don't have time to waste talking." She drew blood on the fan.
"Woah... We don't even know where she is..."
"Like that matter's!" She swung her fan. "Kirikiri mai!" Her weasel appeared on the scythe and Shikamaru could only watch as the wind destroyed the forest. When he was able to see again. He found himself to be able to see over a large distance of the forest. Tayuya's body lying among the trees. "There... All done."
'She's scarier than my mom...'
"What do you think?" Temari said grinning. Shikamaru sighed with a smile.
'Guess I may as well be grateful.'
XXXX
"One..." Ukog muttered with a smirk.
XXXX
A lowed ping echoed the air as Kimimaro and Sasuke held their ground. A white aura began to build round Sasuke as the seals faded. Sasuke pushed the large bone cone away. "Let's finish this!" Sasuke flipped back with a smirk. 'My energy has returned. Now...' Sasuke skidded to a stop. 'Time to use my final move...' Sasuke vanished and drove his foot into Kimimaro's chin. The male shot up as Sasuke appeared above. He drew his blade back with his right as his left hand faced his palm at the closing Kimimaro. Chi built up as lightening sparked about from his palm. Sasuke gripped his blade tight.
"Raiton ha!"
XXXX
A loud explosion drew the genin's attention. "Sasuke has defeated the ninja." Garra spoke.
"Zero..." Ukog stood. As he did his energy rose causing the very sky to cloud. "Yes... This will be perfect..." He looked from the sky to the genin. "So... How should this be... 2 on one? Or one on one?"
"Hang on there's three..." Sakura didn't get to finish as a force of energy sent her flying backwards.
"As nice as it is to think you worth my time... I'm sorry to burst your bubble. But I only want the strongest. Not some weak little girl." Sakura scowled at Ukog as she slowly stood. She smirked.
"You afraid me and Goku will win again?" Sakura blinked as Ukog just laughed.
"My... You are brave... Or is it you're just trying to put up a front? Either way... It doesn't matter. Thanks to that fool Orochimaru... Goku, is no more."
"That's a lie!" Sakura yelled. "Goku can't..."
"Oh but he is... He's here..." Ukog tapped his head. "Lost within my mind and seal. I'm stronger than you or Goku thought. Yes... It's been my plan for the last 2 months... Since Orochimaru caught Goku in that trap. And now... I can finally do what I've wanted to do." The wind howled as Garra stepped forward.
"What?" Ukog chuckled.
"Why... the removal of the human race of course." He then laughed even harder as he saw their faces.
"I will not allow such un-youthfulness!!" Lee roared rushing Ukog.
"Lee wait!" Sakura called. But Lee wasn't listening.
"Argh!" Lee roared as he kicked with his left. Ukog ducked with a smirk and rotated driving a kick into Lee's chin. The boy flew up and flipped over. Lee scowled as Ukog jumped backwards onto the other statue.
"You two ready? If so... I'm looking forward to a good final fight." Ukog said as Lee and Garra moved to stand on the statue facing Ukog.
"Sakura..." Garra spoke. "Stay back... This is our fight." Sakura frowned.
'I'm only a burden... I'm no use to them now...' Sakura stepped back as the three faced off. Ukog smirked as he spread his arms out. His chi blazed to life. Garra and Lee crouched flaring their own.
They tensed and in an instant, they all vanished.
Lee appeared above throwing a right hook to an appearing Ukog who blocked with his left elbow. Lee spun kicking with his left.
Ukog glanced back and spun. His right arm stretched out catching Lee's kick. And brought a left foot round to kick Garra in the face.
"Garra!" Lee called only to be pulled down as Ukog flipped over his head and drove a hard right to Lee's skull. The teen spun and crashed into the cliff.
"Oh please... This is insulting. I know your trying to find away to save Goku..." Lee scowled. "But the only way to win... Is to kill me... But I'd like..." Ukog rolled forward as Garra attacked his back. Ukog smirked as he spun to right driving a left kick into Garra's side. The teen spun in the air and came to a stop. Lee flew up to Ukog's right. Ukog glanced to Lee then back to Garra. "I see you have no trouble with underhanded attacks." Ukog stated to the fact Garra had attacked Ukog with his back to the suna lad.
"Unlike Lee... Or anyway here most likely. I will follow through with Goku's words... So get ready... I'm going to kill you." Ukog smiled.
"I'm so going to enjoy this..." He glanced too Lee and brought his hand up. "Get lost... You're not worth my time." Lee was sent flying by a wave of chi into the cliff. Ukog faced Garra. "No holding back my little one tail. Let's see what you can do." Garra's chi flared bright as did Ukog's.
Sakura watched as both vanished. She couldn't even track their energy's they moved that fast. All she could do was watch the shockwaves along the sky.
Garra appeared in a flip as he was hit to the ground. He turned and punched with his right to Ukog's left. The sudden blows echoed along the ground. Breaking it up in a large creator. Garra glared at Ukog's smirk. Both dropped down and Garra spun with his left. Ukog ducked the right kick and flipped backwards.
Garra flipped sideways and skidded back was Ukog dashed forward with a right punch. Garra leaned to his right and brought his left knee up. Ukog flew upwards quickly followed by Garra. Both trading blows as they went into the sky. Both kicked out and another shockwave appeared as they vanished.
'At this rate... The whole land with change...' Sakura glanced about worried as another part of the terrain was blown away.
Lee sat in the ground with a frown. 'Kill Goku... After so long... To kill my friend? What would Goku do?' Lee looked to the sky as Garra and Ukog continued to fight. 'Goku would do what he'd have to do. Stop what threatens everyone. Even at the loss of his friend. Everyone is important to Goku. Goku wouldn't want them all to die. It's why Goku asked Garra to kill him should this happen. Goku... I will fight knowing you would not want anything to happen to this world.' Lee closed his eyes as his energy began to rise. Green chi began to spiral off him.
Garra and Ukog clashed. Ukog smirked. "Now this fight is about to get interesting."
"Agh....!!!" Green energy glowed before the rocks were blown away. Lee calmed before looking up to the pair. "For Goku!!!" Lee raced forward. Garra smirked. Both Ukog and Garra pushed back as Lee rocked past and quickly spun to face Ukog. Garra looked up as Ukog smirked.
"Come on then... We have time to play before the rest show up." Ukog vanished and attacked Garra who blocked and gripped both Ukog's arms.
"Agh!" Garra head butted and Lee dashed forward. Lee flipped driving a double downward kick to Ukog's chest and the teen flew backwards. Ukog watched as both gather chi to attack.
"Are you really going to attack? With the earth right behind me... Not only that but Sakura as well." Ukog said with a smirk as Lee's energy flickered.
"Bakurikimaha!" Garra yelled firing his attack. Ukog smirked and spun passed it.
"Sakura-san!" Lee yelled as the energy crashed down on the other side of the cliff. Sakura brought her arms up as she was blown into the air by the force. Lee rushed forward only for Ukog to appear with a double kick to the chin and body.
"Don't get distracted... Let the girl feel what it means to be totally useless." Lee scowled as Sakura crashed through the trees.
Sakura landed at the base of one of the trees. She panted from barely getting out of that with little damage. She looked up to the tree tops. Her view blocked. She tried to stand but found no strength as she fell back down. 'I'm no match for him... I barely got thought Garra's attack alive...' She put her right hand up on her face. "I'm still useless. I can't even save Goku after all this..." She sniffed loudly as she rubbed her eyes. 'Want can I do...'
Up above Ukog faced the two genin. "Go help her... And I'll kill you."
"Lee..." Lee glanced to Garra. "Pay attention to Ukog... He's our only importance..."
"And what of Sakura-san!?" Lee yelled. "What about her? Goku would never have allowed Sakura to be harmed!!"
"Lee..." Garra growled. "Make this choice here... Would you rather see just two people die? Or have thousands... Maybe millions of deaths on you for the rest of your life?" Lee stiffened. Ukog chuckled as Garra continued.
"Goku... Sakura. They are shinobi and know death. As do we... Death is fate all shinobi have. You're goal is to focus on staying alive. Even at the loss of loved ones or friends..."
"Garra..." Lee muttered.
"Our choice is simple... Destroy this person. Goku would do the same." Lee gulped. "Don't hold back here Lee. Goku is gone; we must take over for Goku." Lee nods.
"Nice speech Garra..." Ukog said with a smirk. "But please... Don't call me this person... I do have a name."
"Which is...?" Garra asked.
"Call me Ukog nos."
'His name is Son Goku in reverse....' Garra mussed. Ukog chuckled.
"Good to see you've noticed. Now... Come on you two... Sorry..." Ukog glanced to his left. "Three." He said looking at Sasuke. "Let's continue this little game." Garra glanced to Sasuke. The Uchiha nod's gripping his blade tight.
"Gilgamesh!" Sasuke roared as his blade shifted form. Ukog glanced with a smirk.
"This is going to be fun..." Sasuke's sharingan flared as he rushed forward. Ukog ducked Sasuke's right arm. "Maybe not... I forgot how slow you are." Sasuke glared and brought left leg round. Ukog blocked the kick. The pair vanished as was followed by Lee and Garra. Ukog appeared and vanished as Sasuke chased after him.
Garra appeared behind Ukog and kicked only to miss as Ukog ducked forward. Ukog turned to his side as Lee attacked from below. Sasuke drew his arm back. "Katon Bakuha!" Ukog's hand shot up and caught the blast.
"That all?" Ukog smirked as he fired the attack back. Sasuke dodged to the side as the attack flew by and hit the ground. Sasuke watched the inferno. Praying kami no one was there.
"Sasuke! Watch out!" Sasuke turned at Garra's call, only to be kneed in the stomach and then getting a very heavy blow to the head. Sasuke flew down into the water below. Ukog smirked as he turned to the others.
"That's one..." Instantly the water burst open as a red beam fired. Ukog smirked and turned. Red chakra appeared and Ukog opened his mouth firing a red molten chakra blast down. The two attacks exploded o contact and as the smoke cleared Sasuke appeared. The Uchiha took a breath before speaking.
"I want to know what's going on." Sasuke asked.
"We don't really have time." Garra stated. "All you need to know is this isn't Goku. His name is Ukog. And we have to kill him." Ukog laughed.
"Oh yes... kill me if you can! I'm so going to enjoy watching you all see how weak you are to my ultimate power. Oh yes... I'm going to enjoy this too much." Sasuke glared as the three rushed Ukog.
Ukog smirked as his body blurred passed all the punches and kicks. "Why..." Ukog blocked Lee's kick with his right arm. "Are..." His left hand caught Garra's fist. "You so..." His leg's shot out blocking the blades going into a cross slash. The group blinked as lightening shot across Ukog's body. "Weak!!!" A sphere of energy shot out around Ukog pushing against all three fighters. "Agh!!!" The three were knocked back from that attack.
Sasuke flipped and instantly Ukog was behind the Uchiha. "One..." Sasuke didn't get time to turn as Ukog hit Sasuke at the neck and sent him flying in to the forest.
"Sasuke!" Lee yelled taking off.
"Lee stop!" Garra yelled only to tense as Ukog had his hand back. 'Shit...!!'
"Dodonpa!" Ukog fired a black beam from his finger tips at Lee's back. But instantly sand appeared forming a circle and a shield of energy formed. The attack cancelled out as Lee caught Sasuke. Ukog glanced to Garra. The teen's hand out to his shield. "Why do you try and stop a losing battle. You should be joining me Garra! We are the same, we carry a demon within us and the people have turned their backs to us. So why not join me and we could do so much to this world... Universe! All at our finger tips."
"True... We have had similar experiences... But you haven't gone through what Goku has. You are merely something made up of both Goku and Kyuubi. We are not the same. And you're wrong as well. Goku... Myself. We are seen better by people now. More than you may think. So no, I won't follow you... I will destroy you!" Garra growled.
"Oh please... You gonna keep repeating yourself like a parrot. I will kill you... It's a load of bull. You won't kill me because of that bond to Goku. You're gonna try force me back and help Goku gain control... It's not going to happen! I'm in control! As long as I have this seal! I will remain the king of this body! And no one is strong enough to stop. Not you... Not that weird guy Hiro... Nobody! So why fight?!"
"Because Goku wouldn't want his home... Friend's... teammates. Killed like this."
"Tch... You're so going to die last."
Lee sighed as he set Sasuke down. 'Gai-sensei... I'm sorry but I'm going to have to break your rule.' Lee stood as Ukog glanced down.
"Now he's finally going to show me his true power. This is going to be fun." Ukog said as green chi swirled round Lee's body. Lee floated into the air and turned to face Ukog. "That's it... That's the power I've wanted to fight!"
Lee closed his eyes. 'Kaimon...' Lee then tucked his arms and legs close to his body. 'Kyumon...' Lee's hair began to rise as green lightening jumped along his body. 'Seimon...' Lee crossed his arms in front of his body as his skin turned red. 'Shoumon kai!' Lee swung out as a shockwave of energy shot across the air. Ukog smirked as he crossed his arms.
"I will say this... You're strength has improved." Lee's white eyes glared at Ukog. Ukog brought his hand up as red lightening jumped along his hand. "Now we can fight like I want..." His hair jumped up turning a bright crimson red. Lee shifted into a fight stance as Ukog glanced to Garra. "Unless you're going to fight Garra... Please remove yourself from this place. I'll deal with you later." Both Lee and Ukog vanished into the air. Garra looked up as two streaks of energy flew long the sky clashing with one another.
Lee vanished as did Ukog and they appeared in close. Lee punched with his right as Ukog dodged to his left and swept Lee's body forward. An elbow came down on Lee's back who caused Lee to gasp and quickly turned bringing his right leg over. Ukog blocked and Lee flipped up right while attacking with a left kick. Ukog blocked and swung his right arm round which Lee blocked and both spun, blocking their strike.
'Tomon...' Both turned with energy in their palms. 'Kai!' As the attacks touched they were blown back. Lee cupped his hands back as he righted. Ukog swung his arms out.
"Ka me... ha me..." Lee yelled as green energy appeared.
"Fainaru furasshu!" Ukog yelled as a large beam fired.
"Ha!!!!" Lee roared firing back. The two beams connected and instantly a large sphere of energy expanded. Garra covered his face as he was slowly forced back from the two attacks.
'This is bad... At this rate, that energy is going to do massive damage.' Garra closed his eyes as the energy brightened. Lee growled as Ukog smirked. The sphere instantly shrunk.
XXXXX
Hiro looked up to the sky. 'What was that? Felt like a shockwave?' Hiro jumped up the tree's flipping onto the highest branch. 'What's going on?' Hiro closed his eyes as he let his energy flow out. 'Nothing I know can do that sort of force... It's got to be where Goku is?'
"Oi Hiro!" Hiro glanced down to Kim. "Iwane just got a huge read out of something. And he can't contact Sakura! Can you pick up Goku's energy?!"
"I can't! But I sense lots of other signatures..." Kim blinked as she saw his face become serious. "There's a dark power where ever that blast came from. Sorry Kim-chan... I have to go." Hiro's energy flared as he turned super saiyan.
"Wait! Hiro!" Kim yelled as Hiro took off into the air. He was out of sight before Kim could call again. 'Damn it! Even with Hiro's speed he may not make it in time. It's just too far away.'
'Even if I increase my speed...' Hiro mused as he flew. 'It'll take me 10 minutes... And for some reason, I really doubt the fight will last that time...' Hiro's energy flared as he rocketed across the sky.
XXXXX
Garra slowly lowered his arm to see the smoke begin to settle. Lee panted as his energy dropped. 'Lee's finished. He can't go on now. He needs time to recover.' Lee dropped with his back to the ground and the sand shot out to catch him. As it settled Lee down, Garra heard a deep chuckle.
"That's two... One to go." Garra glanced at Ukog. Garra glared as he tensed his body. "Please tell me you're going to do better than the so call blue beast?" Garra smirked. Ukog raised an eyebrow. "What's so funny?"
"I have something that not even Goku has seen!" Garra crouched forward as he let out a low roar.
Ukog glanced up as the clouds began to roar with thunder. 'This energy... It's demonic...' Lightening shot round Garra as his sand spiralled round his body. The sand spiralled round Garra's feet and began to rise. As it rose, Garra's body began to be replaced. As the sand finished Ukog smirked.
"Now this... Is going to be interesting."
Garra's body was replaced with a full brown sand body. The body was toned with muscle that would even match Gohan at the cell games. Blue curvy lines stretched along the upper torso. The brown lower gi still in place. Black bands at the wrists. A large sand spiked tail swung behind him.
"I must say... Shukaku must have had a hand in this form." Ukog said as he looked at the humanoid racoon face. Two ears to match. Garra's eyes were yellow with black diamonds. Ukog rubbed his chin. "Yes... That strength of yours is impressive... I'll out do that with this!" Ukog's body tensed as sparks of lightening shot along his body. Only for it to die down. Ukog blinked. "What the...?"
Garra smirked. "Seems what strength you did have... Orochimaru has cut off." Garra chuckled.
"No..." Ukog growled. "Bastard!!! I'll make sure he is nothing but space dust!" He looked at Garra's smirking face. "No one makes me look a fool!!!!" Instantly the seal on Ukog glowed as a fire pattern shot long the body. Ukog gasped. His growl became a twisted smirk. The red energy darkened and Garra blinked.
'What's this energy?'
"Maybe... I misunderstood that snake... Kukukuku..." A deep dark chuckle seeped out. "It's feels like I'm high on something more... I like it!" Garra got into stance. Ukog smirked as his energy darkened the area. "No more talk... Let's get this fight on the road." Ukog rushed Garra and the teen dodged to his left.

Sakura pushed a branch out the way as she looked to the sky. Lightening shot across the sky as Garra and Ukog raced along it. 'This energy... It's so dark... My body feels so heavy under it. If they're this far away... It must be harder for Garra...'
Garra ducked a kick and quickly spun out his tail. Ukog flipped over and kicked Garra in the face. The teen slid back. Garra panted.
'What's going on? When that seal went off... His energy got so dense and heavy. It's forcing my body to slow down. Shukaku's power can't match this force...'
Both clashed and broke away. Garra panted and blinked as he saw Ukog wasn't fairing. Ukog scowled. 'This energy... It's weakening my body... Curse, chakra based seals... My chi is weakening to this energy. And the two are backfiring on each other. I need to finish this...' Ukog vanished out of Garra's radar and appeared behind the teen. With a swift blow Ukog kicked Garra down into the valley below. Garra flipped round landing on the water.
"Well Garra... Seems I have to put an end to this short fight... But don't worry... I'll let you try stop me... From destroy the earth!!!" As Ukog roared that out, spheres in red, black, blue and gold appeared round Ukog.He drew his arms up above him and the orbs began to merge together.
Garra tensed. 'Damn... I don't know if I can do this...' Garra closed his eyes as he palmed his hands together. 'But I have no choice. I'll have to try using this technique. I hope it will be enough...' Garra's hands glowed as he drew them apart. Lightening buzzed between them. 'Focus...' A sphere of energy formed in between the lightening. 'Contain and expand.' He drew his hands round and back. 'Now I need to begin the second part.' At that four clawed arms appeared out of Garra's back. Each hand focused on the sphere of energy as lightening shot from the palms into it. The energy expanded like a glass plate. And at the palm of Garra's hands another energy sphere appeared.
"This is it Garra! Show me what you can do!" The energy shrunk and Ukog aimed the attack at Garra. "Die! Kitsune furasshu kyanon!!" A bright white light shone as a red bullet of energy fired at Garra. Garra growled.
"Taiyouha!" Garra roared as a bright yellow beam fired forward. The sky lit up as the ground shook. The two attacks clashed and began to form together.
"I'm impressed Garra! That attack of yours is indeed strong.... But I'm still stronger!" Slowly the energy began to fall to the earth.
'I haven't got any more strength... I can't push back.' Garra growled only to hear something hit the water. He glanced to see Lee and Sasuke.
"Need help?" Sasuke ask with a smirk.
"If you don't want to die... Then yes." Sasuke and Lee stepped either side of Garra. Both flared their energy. Lee going back into hidden gate five state and Sasuke maxing all his remaining energy.
"Ready Lee?" Sasuke called. Lee nodded cupping his hands back. Sasuke drew his hands back with the palms facing away from each other.
"Chou Kame... hame...ha!" Lee yelled firing a greenish blue beam.
"Gyarikku hou!" Sasuke yelled firing a purple, pinkish white beam. The two beams connected with the large sphere and pushed the energy up to tie point.
"It's still not enough... We need Hiro..." Garra growled.
Up above the valley trees were slowly being pushed back. As they were Sakura came into view. She stood, watching the struggle. "Sakura-san." Sakura looked to Hinata who was walking up.
"Hinata..." Sakura muttered. Hinata nodded before walking on. Sakura looked down as Hinata stopped for a moment. "Sakura... I know you don't like where this is going to end." Sakura looked up. Hinata smiled at her. "But it has to be done..." Sakura shook her head.
"There has to be another way! We just have to force him back." Hinata shook her head.
"Sakura... Goku's gone... Even I can see it. Let it go." Sakura dropped too her knee's. Hinata frowned. 'Sorry... I know it will be hard for you... But it will be hard on all of us as well." With that she ran to the battle. Sakura just sat there looking to the floor.
Hinata jumped down behind the genin. "Hey..." Sasuke looked back.
"Guess you'll have to do."
"Hinata we need to hold out till Hiro get's here. Least I hope he's coming." Hinata nods. "You got anything strong enough to help us?" Hinata nodded shifting her stance.
"I-I do... But I need to power up first."
"Then hurry up!" Hinata closed her eyes as her energy began to rise rapidly. The genin glance back as Hinata's hair rose up and in a flash of light turned gold. They could only blink as Hinata opened her eyes showing bright green ones. (Think future trunks hair style.)
"Y-you're a..." Sasuke muttered in a studded state.
"Super saiyan?" Lee asked. Hinata nodded.
"Hai... Goku told me what could cause someone with saiyan genes to become a super saiyan. So I've been practicing to do just that. Ever night since..." Hinata drew her arms back. "I know I'm nowhere near as strong as Goku... But I'll do my best!" Hinata stated as her hands glowed.
'What technique is that?" Sasuke asked himself.
"Byaku..." Hinata muttered as her right hand glowed in white energy. The kanji for white in blue appeared.
"Ryuu..." A dragons head appeared in her left. Same as before, but a kanji for dragon appeared this time.
Hinata drew her arms forward bringing the attacks together. "Ha!" She yelled as she leaned back and fired. A beam with a white dragons head shot forward and into the sphere. The sudden rush from Hinata's power compressed the energy's and rushed at Ukog.
"No..." Ukog roared as the dragons head closed in. His panicked face turned to a smirked as the seal went into the second state. "Hargh!!" The energy in front of Ukog expanded and forced the attack down. Back to a stalemate.
"No... It's not enough... That was our last chance...!" Lee called. Ukog laughed,
"You really think I was done for?! Idiot's I have more power than you can imagine!"
Back down with Sakura. The girl sat behind a shield of chakra as she held onto Ryuu. Dirt flow passed her as did large rocks. 'You have to do it mortal...' Sakura bit her lower lip.
'I-I won't do it! Goku's everything to me!' Sakura yelled back.
'Grr.... Stupid human. You're feelings for this boy shouldn't stop you, only encourage you!'
'Why? Why would it encourage me to kill him?!'
"What he's trying to say Sakura..." Liger spoke calmly. "I understand this will hurt you greatly... But you need to come to terms with this..."
'One life is nothing, to millions!' Ryuu roared.
'But Goku's more important to me.'
"If he is then answer me this... Who will be hurt more? You and you're friends for the life of someone close to you... Or Goku... For he will have to face the fact that not only is his hands covered in his friend's blood... But the earth's as well. Possibly the rest of the universe. Tell me, could you live with that?"
'I-I...'
"Sakura you have to do what's right."
'Kill the boy.'
"You're the only one."
'Mortal!!'
"Sakura..."
'Kill!!'
"Sakura... How hard do you think Goku will take it, when he finds out the only one that could have saved the world he loves... The one he cares for most..."
"Didn't do a thing." Both finished together. Sakura remained quite. Slowly her hand griped the hilt tightly. Tear's touched her hand before being blown off into the wind.
Up above the sky. Ukog smirked. "Well it's been fun... But I'm getting bored. Thank you for your sporting chance. Sadly it wasn't enough." Instantly Ukog Chi rocketed as the genin froze.
"No..."
"This is it!!"
"Damn..."
"Sakura..." Lee spoke in surprise as the genin blinked as he said that.
Ukog was too busy chuckling that he only then sensed killing intent right next to him. He glanced to his left and came face to face with Sakura.
Crazed red eyes met hurt, angry, tear filled emerald eyes. Sakura's blade screeched to life. Sakura closed her eyes. Goku's words echoed in her mind.
"Hey. I'm not going anywhere soon. I promise. Nothing will happen to me."
Sakura opened her eye and drew her sword into the air. Her next words echoed out.
"Argh!!!" Ukog was met with a blinding white light.
