Kabuto sighed as he waited for the Leaf Shinobi to show up. 'Honestly they bitch and moan for probably two years to get a lead on Sasuke and they get one, only to be late.' Kabuto thought as he glanced at his clothing and sighed again. Kabuto wore his usual purple clothing again. 'Don't get me wrong I like the color purple but I feel like I'm always wearing it. Maybe I should change later on, maybe something Black and Green themed.'
The spy glanced in to the forest as he felt four signatures approaching. Two he recognized as Naruto and Sakura, the other two he had no clue. Kabuto glanced to the other side of the bridge as he felt Orochimaru's and Yang's chakra signatures.
'Being able to convince Orochimaru that Sasori might show up, and we could possibly take him down was fairly easily. Hmm…Maybe Orochimaru had some kind of grudge against Sasori.' Kabuto glanced at the black and silver bridge he was on. 'Originally the bridge was wooden but due to the high chance of Naruto using the Kyuubi's chakra I destroyed it, and had the Replicators create a new stable bridge capable of absorbing the Kyuubi's chakra. I'll have the Replicator's absorbed then surrounding Kyuub's chakra and siphon it into Yang increasing her power.' Kabuto internally mused.
Kabuto sensed the jonin level nin approaching from the left, but didn't react.
"It's been a long time hasn't it Sasori-sama." Kabuto stated. "It's been a few years."
"Were you followed?" 'Sasori' asked. 'You have no idea, Leaf nin.'
"No it's safe." Kabuto lied.
"How are you?" 'Sasori' asked. 'I've only known Sasori for a short time, but even I knew he wasn't caring.'
"When your jutsu was lifted, and I remembered who I really was, I felt somewhat disoriented…I am still somewhat heavy headed." Kabuto stated.
"I have some questions for you." 'Sasori stated.
"I have little time, so please make it brief. It was a great risk to slip away from Orochimaru to come here." Kabuto said.
"Tell me about the location of your base and about Sasuke Uchiha." Sasori asked. 'Sasuke this Sasuke that. I understand his value but there are more people in the Elemental Nations why doesn't anyone want to create a new bloodline or master all the elements I mean come on there's more shit to do than case after one person.' Kabuto ranted to himself.
"We have many bases, to keep from being discovered, we change bases on a monthly basis. There are of course, bases in countries besides the sound. Orochimaru's spires enter those countries and guide us. But we have various movement methods, which can sometimes be cumbersome. Our current base is hidden on a small island in a lake to the north. We will move from there in three days. "Kabuto explained. "Sasuke Uchiha is also there. "'Dun Dun Dunnnn' Kabuto thought. Kabuto noticed a change in 'Sasori's 'intent and quickly threw a kuani knife in Orochiamru's direction to throw 'Sasori' off.
"What…just a wild rabbit." Kabuto stated the obvious.
"By the way about that one task you asked of me…Sasori-sama. Even after his transmigration Orochimaru cast a jutsu on the cellular specimen of the leftover corpse in order to protect it. I was unable to perform any data analysis of that specimen." Kabuto talked out of his ass.
"On that note, please give me the item we talked about, I can't continue to stay here much longer. If it's found out that I'm meeting with you like this…I'll be killed." Kabuto thought. 'Though if Orochimaru ever tried to kill me he would have to fight; Yang, Gaia, Guren and Karin who I all personally trained and the whole Replicator horde and myself of course'
"Very well, end of the line…It's either now or never!" Sasori announced.
Only for Orochimaru to body flicker behind Kabuto and used the Snake binding stare to add to the theatrics.
"Your conversation seems quite amusing you wouldn't mind if I joined in would you?" Orochimaru asked. Kabuto Screen Stepped to Sasori's side to continue the façade.
"I almost wasn't able to step back in time, but thanks to you taking out your kunai, Sasori-sama, I was." Kabuto lied.
"That cloak of yours…It brings back memories Sasori." Orochimaru said. Kabuto quickly activated his Chakra scalpel and sliced the Hikuro puppet in half causing the Leaf Jonin to escape.
"Sen'ei Tajashu(Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hands)" Orochimaru yelled as he launched a dozen of snakes and the Leaf jonin. The snakes attacked the Jonin only for him to turn into a wood clone.
"This is a Kawarimi(Substitution) using Mokuton(Wood Release) Ninjutsu…you couldn't be." Orochimaru stated.
"Orochimaru-sama is that the real Sasori?" Kabuto asked faking ignorance.
"No...It's not. Kabuto are you telling me that you tricked Sasori into coming here and didn't even know his face?" Orochimaru asked.
"You know it really couldn't be helped, he always preferred to stay in that puppet of his." Kabuto commented.
"What are you talking about!? Kabuto you're supposed to be an Akatsuki spy. You should have been under the affects by Sasori's jutsu. "The jonin said.
"What can I say…I lied you know…the shinobi thing…what are you a fucking kindergartner." Kabuto insulted. "Besides I like working for Orochimaru-sama. I chose to do this myself. But who are you; we came here with the intention of killing Sasori, so this is quite a mishap." Kabuto lied.
"Kabuto… I'll tell you about this little boy here afterwards…Why don't you call out those three little mice hiding in the bush?" Orochimaru stated. The jonin signaled and three leaf shinobi came out of the bushes and landed on the metal bridge. Kabuto recognized Naruto and Sakura. But Kabuto didn't recognize the emo cross dresser.
Kabuto notice Naruto's features started to Kyuubify. 'Guess Yang's going to get more power.' Kabuto thought as the Replicator blocks in the bridge started to absorb the Kyuubi's chakra.
"You again." Kabuto stated.
"kuku…I've seen that face any number of times, Since the Kyuubi boy is here too. Let's play with them a little bit then." Orochimaru said. "I'll give you the pleasure of telling you which has gotten stronger you or Sasuke-kun."
"Give Sasuke Back" Naruto growled out.
"There is no giving back Naruto-kun here, Let me explain it to you slowly." Kabuto said. "Sasuke-kun came to us of his own free will it's about time you got over it, going on like that hardly behaving as a man." Kabuto said.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU FOUR EYES!" Sakura yelled. 'Now that was uncalled for I love my glasses besides Tayuya has far more colorful vocabulary.' "YOU DON"T KNOW A DAMNED THING ABOUT NARUTO'S FEELINGS!" Sakura continued to yell. 'Um…actually I know more than even he knows.' Kabuto thought.
"I'VE HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH OF YOUR "COOL" ATTITUDE!" Sakura screamed. 'I wasn't trying to be cool…but you perceived me as such…man I'm so badass and I did't even notice it.' Kabuto thought to himself.
"If you want to know about Sasuke-kun, why don't you try forcing it out of me? If you can that is." Orochimaru taunted, as soon as Orochimaru said those words Naruto sped towards Orochimaru in an instant. Naruto's hand was about to make contact with Orochimaru only to be intercepted by a yellow and orange blur, and was pushed back to Team 7. Naruto's one tailed cloak dissipated due to shock and the Replicators draining him.
Then blur revealed itself to be Yang in her sexy glory.
"Don't be so hasty… Otouto. " Yang said as she landed by Kabuto's side. Orochimaru looked intrigued, he wanted to see Naruto vs his stronger better Clone.
"L-l-little brother?" Naruto stuttered out shocked.
"In a sense…I'm stronger, smarter, fast and all around better than you…even if I'm only two years old." Yang explained while counting off her superiority to Naruto on her fingers.
"Did I get it right Kabuto-kun?" Yang asked Kabuto in a cute voice.
"Of course Yang-chan, you always get it right." Kabuto said seriously, though his face showed amusement. Orochimaru watched the interaction with a raised eyebrow, He of course knew of Kabuto's "Harem" he thought it was hilarious; and his girls seemed to make Kabuto more laid back than usual.
"W-why are you with Orochimaru?!" Naruto yelled.
"Well I'm not with Orochimaru per say." Yang said while giving Orochimaru an apologetic look. "I'm loyal to Kabuto-kun because I love him." Yang said with a blush while grabbing onto Kabuto's left arm and pressed in in between her breast. Kabuto palmed his face and sighed.
"L-love how can you love monsters like him?!" Naruto yelled at Yang. Only for Yang to glare at Naruto with pure red and black sclera eyes making all Leaf Nin take an involuntary step back.
"Don't you ever call Kabuto-kun a monster like you know him…No one just chooses to become a monster one day...How do you think it happens to people…to normal people? They make difficult choices, for what they might think may be a very good reason. They make choice after choice and none of them involves slaughtering children or starting genocide. But the choices add up, and one day they look around and realize that they're so far over the line that they can't remember where it was, and I'll never leave Kabuto-kun for the difficult choices he made in his life." Yang said passionately, Kabuto's eyes were wide from her speech and Orochimaru looked surprised.
"Wow Yang-chan that was quite the speech." Kabuto stated, and Yang blushed. They were interrupted by Sakura gasping and pointed to Kabuto dramatically.
"Y-you c-cloned Naruto…and you brain washed the clone." Sakura accused to Kabuto, and Naruto started to get angry again.
"Don't you ever accuse Kabuto-kun of brain washing me you stupid bitch!" Yang yelled and Kabuto sighed 'honestly there is no reason to defend me from these people.' Kabuto thought.
"Yang-chan, there's no reason to defend me against biased people." Kabuto told to Yang. Yang was about to reply only for Kabuto to be sent flying back into the surrounding forest, by an enraged two tailed Naruto.
"You…MONSTER!" Yang yelled as her eyes turned blood red. Yang's yellow like chakra and Kyuubi's red chakra combined together creating a shock wave of orange flame like chakra pushing Naruto back a few inches. Yang sprinted at Naruto and slammed her fist into his face, sending Naruto off of the bridge. Yang jumped of the bridge and used her chakra to explode behind her to speed up her decent, coincidentally breaking the sound barrier.
With Yang tripling her speed she was able to reach Naruto before he fell half way towards the river below. Yang grabbed onto Naruto and wrapped her legs around Naruto's waist securing him in place. Then Yang landed several devastating hits on Naruto, with Yang's ability to condense her chakra into her hands and exploded them at the exact moment her fists made contact with Naruto increased the damage.
After Yang landed multiple hits on Naruto, she released him and landed an incredibly powerful double hay-maker to Naruto's head creating a small shock wave sending Naruto plummeting towards the river. Let it be known that once Yang is pissed she completely obliterates what caused it.
-With Kabuto
Kabuto walked out of the forest line with a slight burn mark on his cheek and focused his healing chakra into the burn. Kabuto glanced around to see and amused Orochimaru and a shocked Sakura and nameless jonin. The emo he really couldn't tell.
Kabuto glanced around the bridge to see some of the warped Replicator blocks and scorch marks leading off of the bridge. Kabuto also noticed the absence of Yang and Naruto, and then he sighed. 'Of course Yang would get pissed…Yang only gets pissed if you steal her Ramen, degrade her by comparing her to Naruto, messing with her hair, or messing with HER Kabuto…when did she get so possessive of me?' Kabuto thought to himself.
"God that fucking hurt…I hope Yang kicks Naruto's ass that would make my day." Kabuto thought out loud. Kabuto got weird stares from Orochimaru and Sakura. 'Oh did I say that out loud.' Kabuto asked himself.
"WHY DID YOU CLONE NARUTO?!" Sakura screamed a question. Kabuto sighed he already explained the reason to the Yami personality and Orochimaru he really didn't want to do it again.
"Oh you know this reason and that reason. To see if I could or I couldn't…for power or weakness…to achieve Fame or fade into obscurity…to create a partner or an enemy…or maybe I just did it for shits and giggles…Whatever your narrow mined brain can come up with is fine for me." Kabuto answered.
That answer got a glare from the pink haired howler.
"Orochimaru-sama, can I play with them for a bit?" Kabuto asked the snake sannin. "Besides I'm sure you'd rather watch the fight between the blondes. One trained by me and the other trained Jiraiya, this will be the perfect time for you to see if Naruto measures up to Sasuke-kun." Kabuto said. 'Because I sure would watch their fight, and i am with the clone I created before I came out of the forest.' Kabuto thought.
Orochimaru smiled sinisterly and jumped off the bridge to follow Yang. Leaving Kabuto with the pink haired medic, Nameless Jonin, and cross-dressing emo.
"Orochimaru is gone…I'm sure we can take Kabuto on." The jonin stated. 'Oh how naive that thinking is, it will get you killed one day.'
"Hmm…you really shouldn't underestimate my, who knows almost all of your abilities and fighting styles, while you have yet grasped the limits of my own." Kabuto said while glaring slightly at the group.
Sakura put on dark gloves, the emo readied a scroll and the Jonin tensed. Sakura punch the bridge as hard as she could, only for a loud gonging sound to echo throughout the area.
"AHHH!" Sakura yelled as she cradled her wounded fist.
"Huh? From what I gathered Tsunade taught you the secret behind her strength, but you weren't able to penetrate the Replicator blocks…That wouldn't happen unless." Kabuto trailed off. Until a mile long smirk appeared on his face and a terrified look appeared on Sakura's face.
"Hmhmhm…HAHAHA…Oh this is rich. The secret is Chakra control, by gathering the chakra into the hands and releasing it at a pinpoint time ingenious really." Kabuto said. 'Yang already uses a less refined version of that.' Kabuto mused.
"That would be dangerous for me to fight…but from what my information stated you just run in with no taijutsu style and smash anything in your way…That would be dangerous, if we were on any other bridge." Kabuto stated.
"W-what do you mean?" Sakura demanded.
"You all really thought that killing two s-ranked missing nin wouldn't get around, I knew that Sasori was dead…I knew you all were coming…and I prepared for any and every possibility." Kabuto explained. "Take a look around…Look at the bridge doesn't it look abnormal to you or strange, don't you feel yourself getting weaker by the minute?" Kabuto asked.
The Leaf nin glanced around and noticed the strange design of the bridge, It looked like the bridge was composed of hundreds of small metal blocks. They also felt there chakra slowly decreasing. The emo nin took out his scroll and drew something into it, a few seconds later several lions of ink emerged from the scroll. As soon as the ink creatures made contact with the bridge they returned back to ink.
That surprised the emo. Kabuto watched the whole thing transpire with a bored gaze. The remaining Team 7 immediately jumped off of the bridge.
Team 7 glanced back at the bridge and watched as small bugs stared to form out of the bridge. They assumed they were little threat, Kabuto being there concern.
"Hmm…You guys really shouldn't underestimate my replicators like that, they have the habit of attacking when you least expect them to." Kabuto told the naive team. They ignored him as Kabuto walked backwards onto the opposite side of the bridge which confused the team.
Kabuto put his hand on one of the railings of the bridge "Destroy them, but keep them alive…we still need them." Kabuto whispered to the bridge as he walked off of it.
Team 7 watched in morbid fascination as half of the bridge dispersed and formed over the still structural form of the bridge. They watched as a swarm of bug like objects makes their way towards. The bugs made an assortment of threatening sounds and poses. Some of the smaller bugs climbed on themselves and formed far larger bugs, hundreds of the Replicators looked like Spiders while I few others looked like beetles.
Kabuto watched with interest as Team 7 prepared themselves for battle and the Replicators launched themselves at the team. The carnage began.
-With Yang
Naruto slammed into the water causing a large wave. Yang landed on top the water and used her chakra to stay up. Several Narutos sprang up from the water and they were in there two tail states, while Yang herself was in her initial state.
The Narutos waited so Yang started the assault. Yang did a front flip and heel kicked one of the clones dispelling it but her foot still slammed into the water creating a shock wave, pushing the clones away. Yang sped towards the closest clone and slammed her elbow into its face. Yang evaded a clone that was about to hit her in the back with a Rasengan only to grab the clone's wrist and shove the still active Rasengan into to clones face.
Yang jumped up to avoid a pair of hands that was about to drag her under water. Yang flipped midair and slammed her fist into the water creating another orange flame like explosion; the explosion's force passed through the water and dispelled the clone.
Yang did a handspring back-flip to avoid a dive-bombing Naruto with a Rasengan. Yang launched a condensed projectile version of her explosive chakra destroying the offending clone on contact. The water calmed down to an absence of a fight, Yang glanced around looking for Naruto or his clone. Naruto and several of his clones appeared out of the water and glared at Yang in there two tail states. Yang glared back with her blood red eyes in her initial state with an orange flame aura surrounding her.
Two of the clones started to form a larger that normal Rasengan, Yang mirroring their actions by creating Rasengan triple its normal size the Rasengan took a multiple of shades of colors the main ones being Yellow, Red, and Orange. The two Narutos charged at Yang with their less than impressive big ball Rasengan.
Yang charge too an with a cry of "Ōdama Rasengan(Big Ball Spiralling Sphere)" There attacks collided with Yang's attack being the victor. The explosions of chakra dispelled the remaining clones so all that was left was a two-tailed Naruto and Yang.
Yang watched as Naruto go down on all fours and started to sprout a third tail and his whisker marks and hair got more feral. Naruto charged far faster than he originally was, but Yang successfully evaded. Her training with Kabuto improved her reaction time in leaps and bounds mostly due to the fact that when they spared he used his Swift Release.
Naruto turned to face Yang and he growled, he raised his hands and slammed them onto the water creating a titanic wave towards Yang. Yang jump as high as she could, then launched several condensed chakra projectiles under her to use the recoil to achieve higher elevation.
Yang used chakra to attach herself to the rock wall; she glanced down to see a small figure of a three tailed Naruto glaring at her. Yang quickly ran up the side of the cliff, trying to prolong Naruto's tallied state that was hurting him far more than it was helping.
When Yang reached the top she looked to see Kabuto watching Team 7 getting there asses kick by his Replicators. Yang shuddered a little, when the Replicators attacked they don't hold back, and the longer you fight them the more they adapt. Yang saw Kabuto glance at her and she sent him a seductive wink to tease him.
Yang looked down to see if Naruto followed her, only for a Red-ish Chakra hand shoot up and grab a small part of the ground and pulled Naruto up. Naruto landed in front of Yang and glared with kyuubified eyes.
"Now little brother…you shouldn't glare at me, I'm all the family you have after all." Yang taunted.
Naruto charged and landed a strike on Yang only for her to block with her forearms, but the forced still pushed her back a great distance. Yang jumped and headed of in a random direction with Naruto following her. Yang ended in a small clearing with Naruto landing a few yards in front of her.
Naruto still crouching on all of fours started to cringe in pain when a fourth tail started to form. Yang changed her posture from her close combat stance to a long range stance, Yang knew that the four tails state and up were extremely dangerous. Naruto's skin started to burn off and his blood started to mix with the Kyuubi's chakra as dark orb surrounded Naruto hiding him from view. Yang started to prepare her repulsion technique.
The dark orb containing Naruto exploded creating a shock wave that flattened the surrounding area; Yang protected herself by releasing her repulsion technique counteracting the kinetic forced of the shock wave. Yang looked to the now revealed four-tailed Naruto.
Naruto's bright white eyes glared at Yang, he raised his hand up and slammed the ground creating another shock wave. Yang wasn't prepared this time and she was sent flying back. Naruto slammed his hands into the ground and the ground started to crack and collapse on itself. Yang knew what that meant. Yang quickly jumped to the left, as soon as she did that two large Chakra arms emerged from the ground.
Yang glanced at the Chakra arms to see a smaller hand come out of it. She quickly evaded its strike but it kept charging. Yang used the recoil from her condensed chakra shots to continue evading. She looked at Naruto to see him open, but she knew with the chakra arm ability it was dangerous to get up close.
Yang shot her orange flame like chakra at Naruto hopping to either injure him or enrage him. Yang's attack made contact with Naruto and exploded disrupting his concentration over his chakra arms.
Naruto turned to glare at Yang again; Naruto started to expel red and white chakra spheres and surrounded himself with them. Yang narrowed her eyes at this action; she knew what came after this. Naruto's tails met at his mouth and the chakra spheres started to combine forming a larger dark purple sphere or as Yang knew a Bijūdama(Tailed Beast Ball), Yang started to go into her first tail state her body was surrounded by red-ish orange chakra shroud that took the shape of a fox and the shroud caused her hair to resemble fire.
When Naruto's Bijudama was formed Yang started to condense all of the Kyuubi's chakra into her fist. When Naruto was about to eat his Bijudama, Yang sped towards Naruto and slammed her Kyuubi's chakra enhanced fist into the Bijudama and exploded her chakra as soon as her fist made contact. That action caused Naruto's attack to go off in his face and obliterated the surrounding forest.
Yang watched with annoyance as Naruto started to recover. Naruto started to roar causing the ground to shake.
"So you like to eating chakra…" Yang said to herself, she never tried to eat her own Biludama it was a weird thing watching Naruto trying to do that. Naruto opened his mouth again to roar only for Yang to appear in front of him and launched a condensed kyuubi chakra projectile into his mouth launching him back. Yang launched several more of the kyuubi projectiles at Naruto sending him flying back but he kept getting back, which annoyed Yang immensely.
Yang held out her hand towards Naruto and a dark orb started to form along with several rings. The rings started to rotate on different axis only to join up on one axis orbiting the orbit. "Rasenringu(Spiralling Fear Wheel )" Yang yelled as she threw her devastating technique at Naruto.
-With Kabuto
Kabuto sighed as he watched the Leaf nin fight his Replicators, While fighting the nin is improving all of the Replicators do to their hive mind they gain the experience that these Replicators get but it's still boring to watch.
Kabuto felt the ground shook again, he glanced around 'this was about fourth time the ground shook what the hell is Yang doing?' Kabuto thought to himself only to see a four tailed Naruto fly by him and land on the other side of the bridge, when Kabuto saw Naruto he recalled his replicators to form a bridge again. After a few seconds Yang landed next to Kabuto and had a triumph look on her face. Orochimaru landed near by us and walked over.
"My, my…Kabuto-kun when you said she had potential I didn't imagine this. You trained her expertly." Orochimaru complimented.
"Of course…She wanted power so I gave it to her…Now she can go against a rampaging jinjuriki and win." Kabuto bragged.
Orochimaru walked off when he felt a chakra signature watching him, so that left Kabuto and Yang watching the nameless jonin try and pacify the jinjuriki. Kabuto walked across the bridge with Yang by his side and had a few Replicators form and fallow him.
When the jonin tried to bind Naruto, Kabuto walked near Sakura.
"He's become even more like the Kyuubi than he was just a few minutes ago, I see you'd be better off calling him a monster than a ninja…kukuku." Kabuto said. "Take a look at that, willing to become that just to rescue Sasuke-kun. By now, even his own senses are leaving him what a sad boy." Kabuto goaded. Sakura ran at Naruto, distracting the jonin in the proscess. With the jonin distracted Kabuto had several of his Replicators go near Naruto and absorb the ambient Kyuubi chakra for Yang.
Sakura started to run to Naruto sprouting random things like rescuing Sasuke for him, which sounded weird to Kabuto. Though Yang knew what Sakura meant when she said that, but out of context with her saying that it's sort of a weird thing to say.
Naruto bitch slapped Sakura with his tail, Yang loved that she still remembered Sakura hitting Naruto and in turn her all the time.
"Ah man." Kabuto thought out loud as he walked towards Sakura. Only to be grabbed by wood.
"I won't let you touch her." The jonin threatened, he probably didn't notice Yang behind him with an orange flame like energy covering her fist.
"Hey now, we have no reason to fight you guys anymore." 'Yang has already fought Naruto.' "On contrary, it's just the opposite." Kabuto stated.
"What do you mean?" the jonin asked.
"You and I have the same objective…the Akatsuki are in the way. If we let you guys live you might be able to take out another Akatsuki member." Kabuto said as he used his medical chakra to heal Sakura's wounds. Kabuto glanced at the trapped Naruto to see several red tinted Replicators leaving Naruto. When Naruto started to receive more of the Kyuubi's chakra he tried to break free.
"Although that is your companion…" Kabuto stated while looking at Naruto. "You'll need to rely on yourself to handle the rest." Kabuto finished, as he Screen Stepped out of the trap grabbed Yang and sped towards Orochimaru's location.
Kabuto and Yang appeared a distance away from Orochimaru to see the emo try and pull something out of his backpack. Kabuto let go of Yang and tackled the emo. Kabuto noticed a letter in spill out if his backpack.
"What is this?" Kabuto asked.
"Come on, calm down Kabuto. This kid will from today become our subordinate." Orochimaru said.
"…Can we trust him?" Kabuto asked.
"Please look inside this envelope, It's for you from Danzo-sama." The pale kid said. Kabuto narrowed his eyes.
"This is…" Orochimaru said to himself.
"What in it?" Kabuto asked.
"Kabuto, please release that kid he's coming with us." Orochimaru said and Kabuto got off of him.
"Sai was it, shall we go?" Orochimaru asked, and Sai answered with a smile. Kabuto did a come here motion with his hands and Yang body flickered next to him. Yang leaned near Kabuto's ear.
"The jonin from earlier is spying on us, should I take care of him?" Yang asked. Kabuto glanced at Orochimaru than to Yang and then shook his head in a negative. 'The odds of it being a clone are high, wouldn't want to tip the enemy off that we know his there. 'Kabuto thought.
A couple of minutes of tree hopping Orochimaru, Kabuto and Yang were keeping pace while Sai was falling behind a bit.
"Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto warned.
"Yes indeed…it appears we're being followed." Orochimaru finished.
"But is he being followed or letting someone follow him…What do we do?" Kabuto asked.
"In either case, I'm afraid we end up with a corpse on our hands…right Kabuto?" Orochimaru asked.
"hehe…of course Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto answered. Kabuto held his wrist with a Replicator gauntlet attached to it near his face and whispered an order to the Replicators at hideout to prepare for several intruders. After that Kabuto with Yang's help were able to create a fake dead body to look like Sai, leading the followers off of our trail for a bit.
After a few minutes our followers stopped.
"It seems like our pursuers have stopped. All went well I assume?" Orochimaru asked.
"Right, but we shouldn't relax just yet." Kabuto answered.
"Nevertheless, as always, brilliant work…Kabuto." Orochimaru complimented.
"It's all because of being with you. I've been able to create countless dead bodies." Kabuto said and Yang pouted next to Kabuto at not being included. "Ah that reminds me how about we let him help us in the experiment? After all, he'll have lots of free time when he's not communicating with Danzo." Kabuto asked.
"Hmm…Do whatever you like." Orochimaru said.
After a few minutes they ran into a river. Sai went to wash his face, Orochimaru sat on a rock, Yang internally debated on trying to tease Kabuto and Kabuto was washing his bloody medical tools.
"Kabuto…save that for when we get back." Orochimaru said.
"Oh no…you see if I don't wash the blood of soon enough the blades will go bad in no time at all." Kabuto stated, and Yang nodded her head in agreement.
"By the way Orochimaru-sama would you be able to provide me with an unmarked male corpse as soon as we get back?" Kabuto asked.
"But you still have some left, Right?" Orochimaru asked.
"I do…but our little diversion has left me without a 15-16 year old male corpse." Kabuto stated.
"Kabuto is your blood type 'A' by any chance?" Orochimaru asked.
"No…"AB" actually…Why?" Kabuto asked, only for Sai to start frantically look for something.
"Is something wrong…umm Sai was it?" Orochimaru asked.
"No…it's nothing." Sai answered.
"Well then, let's be going shall we the lair is just a little farther on." Kabuto stated and the group headed off towards the hideout. After a few hours of travel they made it to the hideout unhampered.
Kabuto and Yang walked through the hideout with Orochimaru and Sai, and saw Sasuke sitting in front of a giant snake statue.
"You're late." Sasuke complained.
"You fail to mind your mouth as always." Kabuto reprimanded.
"Orochimaru…did you forget about how you said you were going to teach me a new jutsu this afternoon?" Sasuke questioned.
"Oh do calm down please instead of training, I happen to come by a little present for you. He's a shinobi from Konoha just like you. I figured you could bathe yourself in nostalgia talking about your old village. "Orochimaru said gleefully. Sasuke and Sai looked at each other.
"Oh my god it's an emo standoff!" Yang quietly yelled only loud enough for Kabuto to hear, and he smirk slightly.
"Greetings my name is Sai. You must be Sasuke Uchiha-kun." Sai greeted with a smile.
"Get Lost." Sasuke ordered.
"Oh Damn." Yang announced into Kabuto's ear.
"And Naruto-kun didn't seem to care for me the whole time too." Sai stated. "But you know in comparison to Naruto I think I'm going to get along better with you." Sai finished.
"Oh it's getting hot in here." Yang said to Kabuto.
Sasuke glared at Sai with his Sharingan and put him in a Genjutsu making Sai collapse.
"It'd be a good idea not to tease Sasuke-kun too much. You see, he's even harder to deal with than I am." Orochimaru suggested.
"And I don't care to deal with trash like him, Orochimaru it's time for training now." Sasuke stated.
"Naruto-kun told me quite a bit about you it seems he's been looking for you all this time for the last three years." Sai stated as he stood up.
"Oh yeah I guess I do remember someone like that." Sasuke brushed of the comment.
"We're going to train Orochimaru." Sasuke ordered.
"Naruto-kun considers you…he considers you to be almost his own true brother, that's what I heard from Sakura-san." Sai informed.
"My brother…I only have one… a certain guy I want to kill." Sasuke said before he disappeared in a body flicker.
"Anyhow I'll be leaving too Kabuto…Use these to compile a Bingo book" Orochimaru ordered as he handed Kabuto a envelope full of papers.
"These are…ANBU the Hokage's personal troop division…these are copies of the profiles of its members." Kabuto said surprised. "And they would seem to be the real thing."
"Really, I wana see them." Yang said trying to reach for the files only for Kabuto to raise them out of her reach, earning a pout from her.
"Not now Yang I have to show Sai to his room…Yang could you go to that 'Room' while I do this?" Kabuto asked. Yang nodded and walked off with a sway to her hips, which Kabuto watched till she was out of his view.
Kabuto lead Sai through the Hideout until they arrived at the spare rooms.
"Here we are…come inside." Kabuto said to Sai. Kabuto entered the dark room and walked to the desk. Kabuto lit the candle illuminating the room.
"This is your room…When we don't have anything for you to do, we expect you to quietly behave yourself in here." Kabuto said. "If something comes up we will call you." Kabuto walked towards the door.
"Sorry to do this, but I'm going to have to keep this door locked from the outside after all, you're…well, you understand." Kabuto said as he locked the door and walked through the hallways.
"Well then I better get to work on that ANBU bingo book. I don't need any more nagging from Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto said to himself. *Zzzt* *Zzzt* *tot* *tot* *tot*. Kabuto glanced up to see several Replicates heading towards him.
One of the smaller Replicators jumped onto his shoulder. *Zzzt* *Zzzch* *Zzzt* the Replicator sounded out.
"Hmm the Leaf nin found us." Kabuto said out loud. *Zzzt*
"No…watch them, don't engage…seal up my equipment and prepare for our departure I think Orochimaru-sama will want to vacate this base after this." Kabuto ordered to the little baby Replicator.
The larger Replicators left to do their jobs while the little baby Replicator stayed with Kabuto for communication.
Kabuto body flickered to the room that Yang was in. Kabuto walked into the room to see a larger circle surrounded be several smaller circles on the ground, with hundreds of sealing symbols in between them. Kabuto glanced to see Yang siting in a corner of the room with her legs crossed.
With Kabuto in the room, Yang sprung up and walked towards him.
"So Kabuto-kun, is there a reason you wanted me here? Or did you just want to some alone time with me?" Yang asked teasingly.
"While spending time alone with you is tempting…I'm afraid that isn't why I asked you to come here." Kabuto informed, Yang had a curious look on her face.
"While waiting for the leaf nin to arrive at the Tenchi Bridge, I had the Replicators eat and replace it. With their passive ability to absorb energy, they were able to absorb the Kyuubi's chakra that Naruto-kun disbanded into the air. I was planning on increasing your overall power." Kabuto explained.
"REALLY!" Yang yelled excitedly and Kabuto nodded not even fazed by her loud voice.
Several red tinted Replicators detached themselves from the ceiling and placed themselves in the smaller circles surrounding then larger circle. With each one of their steps they took, they burned the ground under them due to the intense potency of the corrosive chakra that the Kyuubi had.
"Ok Yang I'll need you to take off your clothes and lay in the center of the Circle." Kabuto ordered.
"Oh Kabuto-koi if you wanted to see me naked all you had to do was ask." Yang teased again, and Kabuto sighed and gave her a serious look. Yang pouted and took off her cloths, though she did it at a seductive pace to tease Kabuto which she succeeded at doing.
Yang laid in the center of the large circle completely naked and Kabuto had to force himself no to stare, he had work to complete. Kabuto knelt outside of the sealing matrix and forced his charka into the seal activating the process.
Kabuto heard Yang grunt in pain, but continued the process. 'While Yang is accustomed to the Kyuubi's chakra, increasing the portion of it still hurts her. By my calculations each Replicator holds at least a tail's worth of the Kyuubi's chakra and since there are five red Replicators she gets those five tails worth. While some might say she will get ten tails of charka due to her already having five already. But that's a misconception; she will only get an additional tail of the Kyuubi's chakra.
Each of the Kyuubi's tails doubles the previous tails strength. The first tail doubles the initial states power. The second tail doubles the first tails power. The third tail doubles the second tails power, and so on. So since Yang has five tails of the kyuubi's chakra, and with the Replicators absorbing the kyuubi's chakra form Naruto in his initial, first, second, third and fourth states they got enough of the kyuubi's charka to double Yangs power to achieve the sixth tail state.' Kabuto thought to himself.
*Zzzt* *Zzzch**Zzzt* the Baby Replicator sounded.
"So…Sai's been captured by the Leaf nin." Kabuto said to himself. *Zzzch*
"No…I'll take care of it don't worry." Kabuto said to the Replicator as he created a crystal clone to take care of the problem. When the clone left Kabuto focused on the siphoning process.
-Clone Kabuto
The clone of Kabuto left the hideout and scoped the terrain. Kabuto sensed the closes chakra signatures and sped off in that direction.
Kabuto found a tied up Sai with the remaining Team7 surrounding him. 'Hmm guess I should save him.' The clone thought to himself.
Kabuto readied several Kunai and threw them at the leaf nin, But the shinobi evaded.
Kabuto landed in front of Sai. "Sai…Judging from your situation…I suppose this means you were captured." Kabuto stated.
"Since it doesn't seem you've betrayed us…I'll trust you for now." Kabuto lied as he freed Sai from his wood bindings.
"If you two are going to get in my way. Then I'm not going to hold back!" Naruto threatened. 'Um…you were holding back before?' Kabuto thought to himself. Kabuto felt two Naruto clones above charging a Rasengan, after a few seconds Naruto attacked and Kabuto easily kicked him away.
"So pointless." Kabuto sighed out.
"FIGHTS AREN'T DECIDED 'TIL THE VERY END, AND WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED!" Naruto yelled.
"No, no that's not what I'm talking about…watching you makes me truly feel pity." Kabuto said truthfully.
"People change Sasuke is no longer the Sasuke you used to know." Kabuto explained. Sai came up behind Kabuto and put him in a shoulder lock.
"What are you doing!?" Kabuto demanded.
"You say people change…and now I am." Sai stated.
"What!?" Kabuto demanded.
"But there are also things that don't change…bonds I want to see what they're really made of." Sai said.
"Sai! Just keep him still like that." The nameless jonin ordered.
The jonin bound the clone of Kabuto in a wood binding. 'My, what an interesting turn of events.' Kabuto thought with annoyance.
The Leaf started to have a sappy conversation involving bringing Sasuke back.
"The four of you don't know the Real Sasuke-kun…HEHEHE…heheh." Kabuto laughed out at the hilarity of their nativity.
"What's so funny?!" Sakura demanded which Kabuto ignored.
"Tell us where Sasuke is." The jonin demanded Kabuto glared at the jonin. 'With the boss powering up Yang, the Replicator horde should spook them off form that location.'
"He should be done with his training about now back in his inner chamber. There are a large number of rooms strewn all throughout the lair. If you end up looking in each as you go, you might find him." Kabuto said.
"Still, if you aren't careful, you might chance upon a snake as well. Orochimaru-sama keeps his quarters in the same area, after all." Kabuto finished.
"I thank you for being so honest." The jonin said.
"OH No, you really shouldn't be thanking me." Kabuto interjected.
"You expect us, the hunters to become the prey then?" the jonin asked.
"Precisely." Kabuto stated with a smirk.
The jonin left a clone to watch Kabuto as the team left for the hideout. Several Replicators revealed themselves to Kabuto but hid from the jonin clone, Kabuto subtly shook his head to the Replicators to pacify them. The Replicators listened and used their natural camouflage to blend in with the rocks and waited to protect their master in case the Jonin tried to harm him.
-With Kabuto
Kabuto focused on the seal, as the fourth tail was siphoned into Yang. 'Almost done Yang, just a little longer.' Kabuto thought as Yang continued to tense in discomfort.
"!" Kabuto glanced at a seemingly random direction as he sensed Naruto's chakra flare along with Orochimaru's.
'I have to speed this up, we don't have much time.' Kabuto thought to himself as he increased the flow of his chakra into the seal, also increasing the pain Yang went through. 'Sorry Yang.' Kabuto thought with genuine sadness as he watched Yang silently scream in pain.
*BOOOOM*
The whole hideout shook violently as an explosion echoed throughout the area. But Kabuto was too focused on Yang to care at the moment.
After a few minutes the Replicator's were drained of the Kyuubi's chakra. Kabuto quickly went to Yang's downed form and used the Shōsen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique) on her chest and forehead to help her deal with the pain. After Kabuto help Yang deal with the pain, she groggily sat up.
"You know…if you wanted to feel up…you didn't have to do it while I was out." Yang quipped weakly.
"Yang-chan this is no time for jokes, you could be hurt." Kabuto said his voice full of concern.
"Oh Kabuto-kun you worry too much." Yang said while getting up. 'That's because you don't worry enough.' Kabuto thought to himself as Yang went to her cloths and got dressed.
"We better get going. I think Sasuke might do something extreme to the leaf Nin and I know your fight with Naruto wasn't satisfactory enough for you." Kabuto said to Yang.
"Damn right that fight barely got me excited." Yang complained while crossing her arms. Kabuto got a good look at her hands and his eyes widened.
"Yang-chan…what happened to your hands?" Kabuto asked. Yang too looked at her hands to see her hands covered in slight second degree burns.
"I don't know…Wait, I was using the Kyuubi's and my own chakra and compressed them into my hands and launched them at Naruto, do you think that did it?" Yang questioned.
"I believe so…don't do that again until we can come up with a way for you to do that without the damage." Kabuto suggested and Yang nodded in agreement.
Kabuto and Yang sensed a lot of Lightning chakra building up and Kabuto activated his Screen Step ability, Kabuto grabbed onto Yang then Kabuto Screen Stepped to Sasuke's location.
Kabuto and Yang appeared next to Sasuke, just as Sasuke was about to use his Kirin technique. But Orochimaru stopped him.
"Now. Now there's no need to use 'that' jutsu Sasuke-kun." Orochimaru stated.
"Remove your hand." Sasuke ordered.
"There you do again forgetting exactly who it is you're talking to" Kabuto commented.
"I have no reason to stop." Sasuke stated.
"You know quite well what the Akatsuki is up to. We want to have our guest here form Konoha take care of as many of them as possible, even just one would be fine. If the other Akatuki members get in your way your plans of revenge will a bit of a snag…right?" Kabuto asked.
"That's quite a pathetic excuse." Sasuke said, earning a glare from Yang.
"But surely you'd allow it if it mean increasing the chances of your revenge to succeeding by even 1% right?" Kabuto asked. Sasuke reluctantly agreed and the four dissipated in a body flicker.
