The Red Crimson Bride

Landing in a crouched position, Naruki gripped her left shoulder.

"Kuso." she grimaced. "Not now, please!" she said gritting her teeth but her back started to pump.

Kakuzu's arm returned to its place after he extended it earlier to hit her. He stared at her smirking and made a few steps towards her. She cut his left arm but it was attaching itself back. She fell on her knees holding her left shoulder as runes started to cover her left part of body including her face. They were glowing orange and Naruki's eyes went white. Kakuzu smirked and two of his hearts, the fire and the wind ones left his body and landed beside him. He made a few hand signs.

"This is your end." he said and his hearts took black shapes with white masks. Naruki started to shake uncontrollably and fell on her back. Her hand made its way towards the pouch and grabbed a tag from it. Kakuzu saw it then sent his two hearts towards her. The two shapes went fast towards her and Naruki made a hand sign.

"Supress!" she yelled and the runes started to disappear slowly. Her eyes went red again and she moved her gaze towards the two shapes horrified. The two hearts combined themselves into one single body and opened their mouth simultanously. She tried to escape but they got right in front of her and she wide her eyes open as the attack was about to escape their mouths. Kakuzu watched smirking the whole scene. 'It seems that she found a way to control her seal. No matter, she'll die now.' he thought for himself and made a hand sign to quicken his hearts attack.

Naruki knew that there was nothing left to do and waited for the attack to come. But right then, she felt something and her head jerked towards left and stared through the trees. 'It worked.' she thought then jumped a few meters back. The attack escaped the mouth of the hearts but it seized immediately. Behind them, Kakuzu fell on his knees as pain went through each part of his body. He started to bleed from deep cuts which had been been made with an invisible blade.

"What are you doing?" he asked loud as blood trickle down. She made a smirk and took her katanas.

"Nothing, your partner does." she said and stabbed them in the ground. She saw that he made the same hand signs before and the two hearts opened their mouths again. 'Kuso.' she thought and made hand signs fast. "Fuuton: Furyuu Endan! (Wind Element: Wind Dragon Missile)! she yelled and wind started to blow around her taking an invisible form of a dragon. She sent him towards the two hearts and made nother series of hand signs. "Katon: Karyuu Endan!" she yelled and a huge jet of fire escaped her lips. The jet caught a dragon form and combined itself with the wind dragon. Soon a larger dragon appeared and went straight towards the two hearts. The attack made hard contact with their own creating a huge explosion. Naruki jumped away but kept the jutsu on. She guided her dragon and it surrounded the body. "Separate!" she yelled and the large dragon separated in two smaller ones. She made a sign and the two dragons hit each mask. The fire one hit the fire mask and the wind one hit the the wind mask.

The body caused self destruction and the two masks had been broken into pieces. The smoke surrounded the area making it hard to breathe or see. She started to pant hard and fell on the ground shivering. 'Two hearts with one attack.' she thought and smiled. 'The lightning I took it earlier with the wind sword." she coughed. 'I still have two more.' She tried to get up but as she did that a tentacle pierced her through her chest.

"Kuso!" she yelled as blood escaped her lips. The tentacle twisted her in air and threw her around the area knocking some trees. She watched as Kakuzu was panting hard on the ground still bleeding hard from the cuts. After hitting her many more times he pulled her close to him. She started to cough and stared at him with cold eyes.

"Die!" he yelled and another tentacle had been sent towards her.


Hidan smirked as the scythe had been pushed at his heart with fast speed. He stabbed himself and Naruki let out a terryfing scream. He watched as Naruki went numb and started to fall towards the ground not breathing anymore.

"None!" a voice said from behind him. Hidan wide his eyes open and turned around. Right then two blades made a scissor form and ripped his head off. Blood started to spurt from the cut and the head landed a few meters away in grass. The uncoscious Naruki disappeaered in a puff of smoke and the real one stabbed the headless body in diffrent parts on his back with her katanas sending her wind chakra through each attack. The body fell on the ground and not taking a glance at it she walked away.

She went right at the muffling head and pushed it with her foot. Hidan's face turned to her and gave her a surprised look.

"You! But how? I cut you." he yelled. Naruki pointed her katana at his head.

"No. You didn't cut me. When you knocked into my clone, she put another blood sample on your scythe. I ordered her to stay and to fake the pain so you would think that you won." she said.

"But whose blood I took?" he asked. Naruki rose her katanas above him smirking.

"Kakuzu's." she said. "Prepare to die! For real!" she yelled and let her katanas down.


Naruki leaned her head forward and watched how the tentacle was coming right at her. She sent a scared look but right then, the tentacle stopped at just a few milimeters from her left eye. Kakuzu wide his eyes open and started to shake as a hole formed in his chest. The tentacle loosen it's grip an Naruki disappeared in a puff of smoke. Kakuzu fell on his knees breathing hard. As he was doing that his eyes fell on two feet in front of him. He rose his head and stared at Naruki who had an emotionless face. She pointed her katanas at him.

"Tell me where's Itachi." she growled. "Now!" she yelled. Kakuzu breathed hard but he refused to talk. Instead he moved slowly one of his tentacles towards her. She didn't notice it coming from behind.

"Die!" he yelled and speeded up his tentacle. Naruki turned around fast and caught the tentacle with her hand. She pulled the tentacle and along with it came Kakuzu's body. She spinned around and twisted him in air. Finally she let go but he was still airborne. Crouching she jumped with force until she reached him. Her eyes gone redder than ever and she clenched her fists as purple chakra surrounded them. Letting a yell she started to hit him coninously. With each hit she sent him faster towards the ground. She punched and kicked him everywhere. Because of the wounds, he wasn't able to dodge or block so he received all of them.

"Take this!" she yelled and gave him one last punch. With that one, he had been sent with full speed towards the ground. Naruki watched him fall and soon she started to fall as well.

Kakuzu fell and hit the ground creating a large crater around him. Naruki landed in a crouch position near the crater. She went at the edge and saw him lying on his back, bleeding hard. She climbed down to him quickly.

Grabbing him by his collar she rose him from the ground.

"Tell me, now, you bastard!" she yelled. Kakuzu opened his eyes but didn't say anything. She shook him by the collar. "Tell me!" she said. He coughed.

"He is coming after... you." he said. Naruki wide her eyes open. So he get the message after all. She wanted to ask him something else but saw a cut had been formed at his neck and also on his back detroying the other remaining hearts as well. She realised that her clone finished Hidan after all. Using her Ryakugan, she saw that he had indeed died, there was no more life source inside him. Sighing, she let go of his shirt and jumped out of the crater.

She took her katanas from the ground and sheathed them. Taking another galnce at the crater she turned around to leave.

Sound of fast steps made themselves heard and a person landed in front of her. She stopped and the person nodded. She nodded too and the clone disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Another two down. Six more until you, Itachi." she murmured and removed the red locks from her eyes. She made a smirk as other persons approached her from behind.

"Naruki-sama, are you alright?" a voice said.
Naruki turned around and made a smile.

"Yes, a few scratches. You are a bit late." she smiled at the 4 Jounins from Konoha in front of her: Izumo, Kotetsu Asuma and Shikamaru.

"Here is Kakuzu from Waterfall country and 50 m at your right is Hidan, or what remained of him. The four Jounins sent her surprised looks and went to investigate the corpses.

Sighing, Naruki shook the dust off of her and started to walk away limping. Next target.
