Ascension of the Kitsune by Wandering Maverick

Chapter 27: The Fourth Great Shinobi War (Final)

"You think we'll just let you get past us!?" Kidoumaru shouted as he finished handsealing, and opened his mouth as a golden spearhead appeared aiming right at Naruto's chest.

"Gomen but your opponents are us..." Anko shouted as both she and Natsumi appeared behind the four whom were distracted by Naruto's movements, and were sent flying in different directions with heavy backhands to the face. "...care to make a bet?" Anko questioned her back pressed against Natsumi's, as each zoned in on their designated opponents.

"Sure...first one to bring back both the heads?" Natsumi stipulated, unable to see Anko's smirking face at the stipulations.

"Hai!" She shouted happily as the two women pushed off one another to begin their fights.

With Anko,

"Get up! I didn't hit you bitches THAT hard!" Anko complained seeing Tayuya, and Kidoumaru wobble to their feet after her blindsiding hit.

"Says you bitch!" Tayuya shouted back.

"I'm beginning to like her..." Anko thought smirking at the red-head's 'take no shit' attitude. "...which is unfortunate since she I have to kill her." She concluded as she whipped out a pair of kunai, and launched them at the disoriented shinobi.

Anko was rather surprised however when several golden objects were released from the six-armed boy's hands. The objects not only intercepted both her own kunai, but the remaining four were aimed right at her. She easily deflected them however and immediately reconsidered her opponent's standings after seeing that the golden objects were actually kunai made out of some strange substance.

"I see you like my 'Kumonenkin (Spider Sticky Gold)'..." Kidoumaru said in a jovial tone, as a pair of kunai formed right in his palms. "...you see I need no shinobi weapons...because I AM an entire armory on my own." He boasted.

"Shut up you six-armed faggot! Why are you fucking boasting when you could be attacking her!?" Tayuya shouted with a glare towards her tan-skinned teammate, before she took a flute out of her robes and placed it against her lips.

Anko was about to attack noting their distracted attention, when a melody hit her ears and the moment it did everything before her went black.

"Dammit..." She cursed, looking around trying to figure out what happened. "...I'm treating these brats too dismissively. I should know that HE would make them his bodyguards for a reason" She said to herself as she put her fingers into a seal. "Kai!"

What happened next she didn't expect...instead of the blackness disappearing after she figured out it was a genjutsu and tried to cancel it, the darkness seemed to only become even denser. A sharp pain shot through her neck, easily feeling liquid begin to fall down her skin after realizing some kind of weapon was thrown.

"Seems that girl's specialty is genjutsu...and rather powerful ones at that...not as powerful as an Uchiha's but still ones I shouldn't underestimate..." She thought to herself before she closed her eyes, allowing her other senses to be heightened. "...thank Kami-sama that Whiskers taught our Jounin and FROST officers (Yuki's ANBU) how to fight without out using our eyesight so the Sharingan and many genjutsus can't effect us as much." She finished.

Anko stood like a statue and waited...waited for the sound of an incoming attack. More then likely since her opponents knew she was under that particular genjutsu they wouldn't feel the need to move from their current positions...so when the next strike comes she'll be ready. She waited for what seemed like forever in this cold, silent, black abyss...until it finally happened.

Her ears twitched when the faintest sound of something cutting through air could be heard. Now that she knew her opponent's position, all she had to do was wait for the perfect moment to counter attack. She didn't have to wait long as the sound became louder and closer. And when the sound became almost deafening to her she reached out, grabbed the hilt of the kunai, before flicking her wrist sending it right back from the way it came at an even faster speed. Then without missing a step she charged the spot herself with a pair of her own kunai in hand ready to strike. As Anko charged forward she heard foot steps beginning to thump against the ground, and threw both her kunai in separate directions at each respective sound. She waited a moment before hearing a clash of metal in both directions, and then a second later the darkness that shrouded her vision rose like a curtain.
