'Hey Kyuubi!' Naruto gave a mental shout in his mind.
'You need my power ningen?' came the demonic voice of Kyuubi.
'Yeah I need your power to fry this creature and evaporate him.'
The great fox remained silent for a moment, 'very well I suppose I did offer to help you… for now at least. However I expect you to make this battle amusing, and try not to embarrass me!'
Naruto did not respond to the foxes parting comment, as he felt Kyuubi's chakra run through his system. The fox cloak began to form around Naruto in less than a second; stopping at three tales which Naruto believed would be enough. As the next tentacle came after him, two of the tails shot out from behind the blond. As they grabbed the appendage and kept it in place, the other tail ran straight through the water, evaporating it as it made its way to the core. Soon enough the red chakra tail pierced the core and shattered it, causing the creature to screech and flail. Channeling all of Kyuubi's excess chakra through the tails, Naruto released it in one go. The result was the entire creature exploding in a shower of steam.
Amachi who had been watching in glee, now stared in shock as his creation died. He turned around un to get away, only to see another Naruto right behind him with a spinning ball of chakra in his hand. Said ball soon smashed into the scientist, tearing his skin and muscles away. As the man let loose an anguished scream, he was blasted back by the energy and sent skipping across the water, before stopping as he lay face down. The clone Naruto went over and grabbed the man by the cloak, throwing him over his shoulder in an uncaring manner.
Meanwhile the real Naruto walked over to the clone holding a crying Isaribi, he put his hands on the girl causing her to nearly jump out of her skin. "Hey, are you ok?" Naruto asked only to wince as the girl turned her now bloodshot eyes on him.
"How can I be ok! That man lied to me! Now I'll never be turned back to the way I was! Now I'll never be human!" the girl shouted as tears streamed down her scaly face.
Naruto frowned, "you know there may be a way to cure you," the girls looked up at him in shock, before they narrowed in suspicion.
"And what would I have to do to receive this cure?" she asked saying cure as if it was some kind of poison.
"Well you would have to come back to Konoha with me," Naruto replied with a shrug. "Unfortunately the woman who I'm sure can cure you, is also the leader of our village. So she can't just leave whenever she wants. However after that you can just leave if you want, or stay there as a citizen and start a new life. I'll leave that choice up to you, if you want to come to Konoha that is."
Isaribi looked at Naruto, trying to see if he was lying, she had already been tricked once and did not want to have her hopes dashed again. After several minutes her shoulders slumped, even if he was lying she did not really have much of a choice but to go with the blond man. "Ok, I'll go," she said in a soft tone, as she changed back to her normal form.
Naruto nodded, "right well now all we have to do is wait for my comrades and…"
"Naruto!"
Both Naruto's and Isaribi turned their head to see Ino and Shino running towards them, the blond frowned when he did not spot Anko. He soon realized that the reason for this was because she was being carried on Shino's back, unconscious. Naruto ran towards them, stopping in front of the two he looked at Anko, who was muttering incoherently in her sleep.
"What happened?" Naruto asked in a worried tone.
"We don't know!" Ino said, "We had just managed to get out of that creepy place with the fish people, when Anko just started grabbing her neck and passed out!"
Naruto looked over at Shino, who nodded in agreement. Sighing Naruto gave them his orders, "alright I want you Shino to head back to the hotel and get Anko to the bed, Ino you can escort my clone and Isaribi to the hotel as well. If they deny you access you may threaten them, since I have placed the girl under my protection. I'll go over to the dock and tell the people there about this ship and that they need assistance, after that we'll leave. Understood?"
"Yes/ ok!" the two said as they moved off.
Naruto cracked his neck as he too headed off, glad that the mission was for the most part over.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Pain. That was all she felt as she lay there face down on the floor, it was like an acid dripping through her entire body. She felt as if it was eating her from the inside out, no matter what she did it would not go away.
"Well it seems one survived," despite the agony she felt, she looked up and spotted him. The pale face and snake like yellow eyes were unmistakable, she knew that face anywhere. It was the same face as the man whom she had admired most, the man who had taken her in and taught her everything she knew. The same man who had been like a father too her and the same man who had taken her trust and betrayed it. "Kukuku, I'm surprised you survived Anko-chan, but then again you are my apprentice…" the man hmm'd for a moment before shrugging, "still it seems as if your usefulness is at an end."
He turned around to leave, but stopped when a hand gripped his leg. "W-wait," Anko said as she grit her teeth, the man turned around and looked into Anko's eyes as she spoke. "W-why?" she asked as she tried to understand why this man would betray her so. "Why are you abandoning me?"
"Kukuku," Orochimaru laughed at her as he leaned down, gently caressing her cheek as if nothing bad had happened between them. "Because my dear Anko-chan you lack the desire for power," the man paused for a moment before he smiled. "Still the fact that you survived is impressive, maybe you're not so useless after all." He stood up and offered his hand to Anko.
After a minute of staring at the hand, Anko growled and knocked it away. Now that she knew what this man had done, she wanted nothing to do with him.
Orochimaru just gave his snake like laugh, "very well Anko-chan, if that's your choice." He turned around and walked away; shutting the door and casting out the light as Anko let darkness claim her.
