Breeze skid across the floor as she blocked Gakido's attacks, the Path not stopping his assault. She blocked his punch and quickly ducked, dogding his kick. Breeze's shadow clones quickly went into action and unleashed their Futon jutsus against the big boned corpse.


Gakido stopped his assault on Breeze and jumped in front of the tornadoes. He thrusted his palm up and absorbed the ninjutsu. All of the Breeze clones landed near the original, who was taking her fan out.

"Maa maa. I forgot how you can absorb Ninjutsu. Looks like we'll have to use close combat!"

The wind-users quickly charged forward and circled around Gakido. One of the clones stepped forward and slammed her fan against Gakido, making him stumble to another clone who slammed her fan up on his chin, sending him to another clone, who was up in the air. The clone slammed him back on the ground, cracking the earth below.

All of the Breezes quickly jumped up, their fans held forward. Dropping down, they slammed their fans against Gakido, pretty much shattering everyone bone in his body. Breeze jumped back and looked at the path, who got up like it was nothing.

He clapped his hand, a shiny gloss covering over him. Gakido charged. Breeze clones quickly went forward and unleashed their Futon jutsu against the big boned path.

Gakido merely snorted and thrusted his palm forward, absorbing the Ninjutsu again. The clones smirked and dispersed, confusing the path. Breeze appeared in front of him, Rasengan in hand. Breeze smirked and quickly attacked Gakido.

"Rasengan!"

She slammed the Rasengan against Gakido, who quickly reacted and absorbed the Rasengan. To his confusion, the Rasengan starting turning much more bigger. Gakido gritted his teeth at the very size of the attack. Nonetheless, he managed to completely deplete the Rasengan.

Gakido sneered and placed himself in a battle stance. "Hmph. Again you forget that Ninjutsu has no effect on me. Now you will-"

He paused as he noticed that he began to bloat like a toad. His eyes widened, feeling his body turned stiff. Gakido struggled to turn his head as his whole body slowly turned to a stone statue. Breeze grinned mockingly at Gakido, leaning against her fan.

"Even if you are a "God", you still can't balance Sennin Chakra between regular chakra!"

And Gakido completely turned to a toad statue. Breeze looked at her clones and they all charged at the petrified path. They smashed their fan against the statue, destroying the path. The blonde smiled and yawned, dispelling her clones.

"Suiton: Suikōdan no Jutsu!"


The healer Pain slammed his hand on the ground, the King of Hell rising up and blocked the shark attack, the head getting doused instead. Jigokudo narrowed his eyes and shot his hand, the King of Hell opening his mouth and purple tendrils shooting out from within. Azure's eyes widened and quickly substituted herself with the things nearest to her, which was her Mizu Bushin.

The clone was entangled and constricted of her movement, being squeezed out of her life. The healer of her group quickly jumped up and weaved through a LOT of hand signs before thrusting her palms forward, a long dragon made of water shooting towards the Pain path.

"Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu!"

Jigokudo quickly jumped into the King of Hell's mouth being protected from the attack. Within the mouth, Jigokudo ordered the head to turn and attack. The King of Hell opened up its mouth and spewed out a large mist of poison towards Azure. The water-user quickly performed more hand signs and began spitting out a large dose of water, which began to form into a wall.

"Suiton: Suijinheki!"

The poisonous mist spewed into the water, mixing, turning the water into a purple color. Azure smirked and shot her hand in it, before she pulled it back, holding a water whip. A poisonous one.

"Let's see how you handle this!"

The water collapsed on washed all over the King of Head. She began whipping the head, slightly cracking its head. If one would look closely, a purple shroud covered over the head. Unfortunately for Jigokudo, he felt the effects and saw his hand decaying. He clicked his tongue and got out of the head. He exhaled the poison he had inhaled, saving him from his decaying.

He applied medical jutsu all over him, healing his body. Azure appeared behind the path, surprising him. She smirked and cracked her whip at the healer and entangled him, restricting him of motion. She summoned out another clone, whose hand was covered in sharpened chakra. The clone smirked and began charging forward.

"Chakra no Mesu!"

She jumped forward and swung her hand, bisecting the Path in two. The two cheered and high fived each other.

"Alright, we did it!"

Unfortunately, Jigokudo was still alive, since he did not need blood to live. He summoned the King of Hell and it shot two tendrils at him, pulling him into the mouth, which closed when he was inside. The two Azures saw this, silently swearing.

"Ah crapbaskets."

The mouth reopened and showed Jigokudo, completely whole and standing The two backed each other up.

"We need to use that one jutsu we learned from Kisame-senpai. Keep him busy Mizu-chan."

The clone nodded as the real one sat down and closed her eyes. The clone charged at the healer Pein. Jigokudo merely looked at her and slapped her on the cheek. The clone flipped herself and landed on the ground. She channeled normal and Suiton chakra into her hands and charged towards Jigokudo.

"Take this!"

She threw hear arm in an uppercut and it sent the path flying. The real Azure shot her eyes open and jumped into the air. She began weaving through hand signs and shouted out.

"Suiton: Daikōdan no Jutsu"

She thrusted her hands, a much more bigger water shark appearing behind her. The water shark roared and shot at Jigokudo. The healer path's eyes widened in shock and tried to divert. Unfortunately, he was not able to and the shark plummeted him to the ground.

Azure smirked and slammed her hand down. "Kuychiose no Jutsu!"

A large slug appeared in a cloud of smoke. "Lady Katsuyu, please lend me your aid."

The slug nodded and spat a large gush of acid at the wet Pein. Jigokudo grabbed his head, trying to regain his bearing. He looked up and saw the acid coming at him. His eyes widened as he screamed in pain. He felt his skin melt off and was nothing but a skeleton on the ground. Azure smiled and saluted Katsuyu, who returned to the village to aid.

Azure looked at her comrades, seeing them already finished with their opponents. She smiled but her eyes quickly widened, as she saw Naruto pinned to the ground by black rods.

Azure noticed the others were about to rush, but a blur quickly appeared and went in front of Naruto. Tendo lifted his brow, looking at the one who dared oppose him.

"Another one?"

Naruto gritted his teeth, trying to free himself. He looked up and gasped, seeing someone he did not expect. Azure and the others gasped too, surprised that she was here.

"I-if you want to k-kill Naruto-kun, you'll have to go through m-me!"

"H-Hinata?!"
