Guan moved to step forward again before something crashed into his side, nearly tackling him to the ground.
He regained his bearings in time to see the snarling features of the other girl.
He leaned his head to the right dodging her fist, which held surprising amount of force, before he lifted his leg, placed it on her stomach and chest and pushed her off.
He stood and watched as the girl righted her self in mid air and landed, her form hunched over as her hair covered her eyes. He could tell that something had changed about her.
Katsuyu's form seemed to bulge for a moment before she released a huge stream of acid towards the snake, hitting it dead on.
When the snakes melting form could be seen clearly it revealed nothing but its shed skin.
Manda exploded from the earth behind the slug, wrapping itself around it, only to have Katsuyu separate into hundreds of other, smaller slugs and reform out of its grip.
As the slugs reformed, Naruto realized…
'Tsunade isn't on her head.'
He barely turned around in time to see Tsunade's form as she ran up Manda's back, heading straight towards him.
He ducked under her fist, then placed his right shoulder against her stomach and grabbed her extended fist with his left hand. He flipped her over his shoulder, sending her clear off Manda's head.
He did not however, expect her to grab his collar and pull him down with her. Sending them both spiraling down to the forest floor.
Both were snarling as they continued exchange fists and kicks in mid air, each block and impact hurt both of them, Such close proximity was burning Tsunade terribly, at this rate her seal of rebirth would only last for about another two minutes or so. And each blow Naruto blocked would still break the bones in his arms, only to have them heal in seconds due to the foxes chakra. Only difference between them was that his source of healing was virtually endless, while hers had a limit, he would outlast her, then he would kill her.
'Not again' Was the mantra the young blond haired girl chanted in her head as exchanged attacks with the Kiri Shinobi. She swerved to the left to avoid a downward swing he delivered with his kunai.
She extended her left arm and placed it over his neck in a headlock which made him arch back. Then she took her right arm and wrapped it around his extended arm so his elbow was against her rib cage she then pulled hoping to break his arm.
Guan grunted and grit his teeth as he fought against her hold, then using a burst of chakra he broke free, elbowing her in the stomach and then backhanding her in the face, sending her sprawling.
She hit the floor hard but rolled to her feet, she snarled on all fours as she glared at him, and then let her eyes travel to the falling figure of Naruto as he fought with Tsunade.
'I wont let you win again.' Was her silent promise as she closed her eyes.
When she opened them again, they had changed from her clear blue, to a deep crimson red with an animalistic slit...
Naruto caught Tsunade's fist and reared his claws back, ready to tear her apart, but suddenly he felt pain, deep burning pain as if he had unleashed four tails of Kyuubi's chakra. The red chakra shivered and seemed to fade for a moment before it exploded everywhere, changing from a focused two tails to a hazy cloud of red chakra.
Naruto bit back a scream of pain, Tsunade again seized the opportunity and reared back her fist, punching him again and sending him flying down to the earth.
He flipped in mid air and landed on all fours, a massive dust cloud picked up in his wake He tried to stand but fell to one knee and gripped his stomach, over the area where the seal was. He hissed in pain. Gritting his teeth he opened a single eye and for the first time in a long time, felt true surprise.
There infront of him, was the girl Tsunade had called Akina, hunched over like an animal, a single red chakra tail whipping behind her. Above her, the head of a fox formed from the chakra.
It looked straight at him, piercing his red eyes with its own before it smiled darkly.
