Wiping some blood from his mouth, Hikaru looks at Naomi. They both smirk at each other, nodding their heads once in agreement before getting back up. Hikaru grabbed 2 kunais, one for each of his hands, and Naomi unleashed the Nine Tails' chakra.

She cracks her knuckles once. "This is going to be fun."

With that, they run in unison towards the bald man's henchmen. Naomi makes the sign and 100 shadow clones with the same appearance follow behind her and Hikaru. The shinobi with long brown hair does his signature tornado move and all the clones were gone with a 'poof'. The short, bald, muscular man finally stands up and joins the fight. And to make matters worse, the other two men who ran into the forest come back with nasty snarls.

"I'll take the the left three and you take the right two!" Naomi exclaims as they run into the fight side by side. "And after, we'll find out who sent them and save the world, ya know!"

Naomi enters into the Nine Tails cloak state, with only one tail. Her blue eyes turn to red with a narrow pupil and the whiskers upon her face turned darker and thicker. Her teeth sharpened almost instantly and her nails, too. Along with the orange cloak, she looked like a demon.

Hikaru didn't question the new power of Naomi's, since it did come along in his favor. But curiosity did swim through him. Focusing on the battle, the duo charge full speed ahead, Naomi taking the 3 on the left. They threw their shurikens towards her at an incredible speed. She was able to dodge them, except one. It ran straight into her shoulder and stuck there. The impact made the redhead flinch, but she took it out of her flesh and threw onto the ground. And before their eyes, the little hole the shuriken made, healed.

Naomi was now pissed at the shinobi. She got down on all fours and ran towards them at light speed. The one the far left began to throw kunais with paper bombs attached and the one in the middle made signs so his muscles and hands would enlarge. With this new upgrade, the stone shinobi hit the dirt as hard as he could and made a wave of earth towards Naomi. But all she did was smirk. The redhead was able to dodge the paper bombs and when the wave of dirt approached, she jumped over it and landed without a scar. 

Now even more worried, all 3 stone shinobis made the same sign and a wall appeared in front of it. Naomi had to stop herself before her face made contact with wall. 

The shinobi with long brown hair smirked. "The girl will never be able to get past this wall, for this is one of the strongest of all the nations. It would take extra-human strength to get past this barrier."

His comrade smirked. "Yeah, she probably gave up and le-"

Suddenly, the mud wall burst into tiny pieces and the chunks flew everywhere, hitting anyone in a 10 yard radius. The dust cleared, and they saw the whiskered child. Her cloak as grown a second tail and her features became more menacing.

The stone shinobi stare with their jaws touching the ground. Their wall was shattered into pieces by some girl when jounins or any other skilled shinobi couldn't. 

"You didn't expect that now, did you?" Naomi taunts, swirling a kunai around her small finger. "I don't even need this metal weapon to take you jerks down ya know. I can do it with my bare hands!"

Worried, the stone ninjas take out their tools and begin throwing them, desperately trying to stop her, but with no success. The kunoichi smirks and gets down on all fours. She begins to run to the ninja with short blue hair. Helpless, he attempts to disappear using a smoke bomb, but Naomi's senses have sharpened with the upgrade. She senses him a few feet away, hiding behind a tree panting and covered in a thin sheet of sweat. 

"To easy."

Naomi sneaks up on him.  She carefully slips a paper bomb from her pouch and slaps it onto his unsuspecting arm. He freaks out as a tear slips down his cheek.

"Boom."

Naomi is able to teleport away back to the other shinobis, but the explosion was loud enough to hear from where they stood. Up next was the shinobi in the middle. He was visibly trembling. His caramel skin has grown pale and the fear was the only thing his faced expressed. He takes out a kunai shakily and puts it close to his frame. Naomi suddenly disappears, giving him a false sense of hope that she has left him alone. 

But he was sadly mistaken. 

Naomi appears behind him. He attempts to slash her, but she misguides his hand so the kunai is lodged into the tree behind him. He is paralyzed with fear with the demon that was unleashed. The little girl they easily defeated earlier in the fight is not the same girl as now.

She suddenly approaches him with a sly little smirk upon her thin lips. The kunai in her hand she continued to twirl like when she blew up there mud wall. As she towered over the older ninja, he began to shrink.

"Please! Spare me!" He began to plead as he lowered his head into a bow. "I have money if that's what you want! Anything you ask for, it's yours!"

"It's not money I want. It's-"

Naomi feels a presence approaching her and quickly dodges it. To her surprise it was the last of the stone shinobi she was suppose to take care of. He quietly curses under his breath as Naomi approaches him, forgetting about the other one.

"Trying to save your friend, huh? Well your both going to end up at the same place anyway ya know."

Naomi was ready to strike when she hears a familiar voice. It is gruff and it sounds serious.

"Naomi. Your going to reach your limit soon. Stop this instant!"

"I can't, Kurama! I still need to help Hikaru-san and finish these two off."

"It's to much strain. You will face the consequences later and you'll regret it!"

Naomi ignores the foxes warnings and drives a kunai through the shoulder of the shinobi. He coughs up blood and begins to bleed severely. If Naomi didn;t finish him off, he would die from the lack of blood lost.

The redhead moves on to the ninja she left unattended. He tried to run away, but he didn't get very far. Naomi prepares a move she has been working on for a long time. In her left hand, a swirling blue ball of pure of energy begins to form slightly. The ball slowly begins to turn red and enlarges a bit by the second.

The stone shinobi's eyes begin to widen and his mouth lets a small gasp escape his lips.

"What in the world is that!?" he exclaims, fear coursing through his veins.

Naomi looks down at the red sphere. "Oh this? This is just my rasengan. But new and improved."

"Naomi! Stop this instance! Your body can not handle this much strain!"

"I've been wanting to try this move out." She says with a bit of excitement in her voice. "I haven't perfected it, and probably never will, but who care."

As Naomi lurched towards him, she began to feel dizzy. Her vision began to see white spots, then they appeared everywhere she looked. Her entire body felt weak and was on the verge of collapsing.

Right before she completely loses it, she sees a white haired and a brown haired boy in the distance. 

And they screamed out her name, but no response.

A/N:

Yes I know, crappy writing. And after weeks without writing your probably like what the heck. And then somewhat another cliffhanger? 

And part of it was I had half of the chapter written, then I got a message and they really wanted some nine tails action. I really liked the idea so I redid it. I'm not sure if that was super action packed, but I tried.

So, I'll try to update sooner and not like a month later.

Love you guys!
