NARUTO:The sealed shinobi.

Naruto held back his laughter so that he could focus on the task at hand, "Sorry, sorry. But if you knew who my sensei was, and you knew what he was really like first-hand you would know why I'm hitting on you." Naruto placed his brush next to his ink and looked over his handiwork, nodding as he cut his palm and placed a premade seal tag on her back, "Alright, this was done with my ink so it should be super-effective. More so than usual."

"Why?" Yugito questioned as she looked over her shoulder to see Naruto slowly making hand-seals.

Naruto continued to slowly work his way through his memorized hand-seals, "Because my blood is a very potent medium for sealing ink, and that's what I put in all of my ink. Now then; Fuuinjutsu: Chakura Takuwaeru Kuriireru (Sealing Technique: Stored Chakra Transfer)" Naruto finished his seals and clapped his hands together before placing them on the seal he had placed on Yugito's back. The array faded from Naruto's heart to the circle array he had drawn on the other side as the seal on the tag started glowing. From that point the small circular array on Yugito's back glowed and faded all the way down to the point on her heart where that array began to glow. The light lasted for a few moments before dying out and allowing the seal to fade.

Naruto pulled the blank seal tag from Yugito's back and moved away from her, "And that should be that. You can go ahead and put your shirt back on Yugi-chan… or feel free not to. Either way is good with me."

Yugito growled at him and put her shirt back on before whipping her still loose hair out of her face, "Pervert… But thanks. I feel like I have all of my chakra back."

Naruto chuckled, "You'd better have all of your chakra back, as much as I used to pump into those things for storage. I only brought one though so try not to run out of chakra again." "Will do." Yugito said, "I'm as ready as I'm going to be for them the next time." Yugito said, gingerly feeling at her ribs with her wounded hands. She made hand-seals and frowned at the speed her fingers were moving at, "Fuck. I've got stupid hands."

Naruto shook his head, "It's probably nerve damage. We really need to get you to a medic." His face switched moods as he looked up, "Nevermind. I guess banking on someone to come and get us before they did was asking too much." Naruto resealed his supplies and placed the scrolls in his pockets before slinging his sword over his back as he started making his way to the exit. Yugito grabbed his arm and turned him around abruptly, pulling him towards her. Before he could even respond Yugito's lips covered his for what seemed like an eternity but was in reality thirty seconds.

Yugito released the kiss and grabbed Naruto by his collar, "That was just because I wanted to, not a last act to release regret understood? We're not going to lose this time."

Naruto nodded and pulled her hands away from his collar, holding them in his and rubbing the backs of them softly with his thumbs, "If it starts looking bad you cut out and run towards Kumo as fast as you can, got it? If I go down you leave immediately. You don't try to get me away from them, you don't even try to fight them. You run." Yugito opened her mouth to dispute when he cut her off, "You run."

Yugito's response died in her mouth and she simply sighed, "Okay Naruto-kun. I'll run."

Naruto nodded once more, "Good, now let's get this over with."

XxX

Hidan kicked aside some loose rock while Kakuzu simply looked around calmly, "Are you sure this is where they are?" Kakuzu glared at his partner, "I wouldn't have dragged us over here if I wasn't. He thinks his Kage Bunshin were so well hidden, the little bastards never saw it coming. They were his lookouts, his security measures, and that means he's around here somewhere." The area was a relatively flat rock field, lots of up risen formations and no flora about, nothing but hard earth.

Taking Kakuzu's word for it at face value, Hidan pulled his amulet from around his neck and closed his eyes as he began to pray for forgiveness as he was not allowed to kill Naruto or Yugito in the forthcoming battle.

"Doton: Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Skill)!"

A pair of hands locked themselves around Hidan's ankles and pulled him under the solid rock, leaving him stuck up to his neck. Naruto came out of the ground directly in front of him, "What the fuck is the big idea you lowlife heathen? I was praying to Jashin-sama!" Naruto drew his sword from his back, "Sorry, I don't really fight fair." Before he could attempt anything on Hidan a series of black threads tried to impale him where he stood, forcing him to begin dodging as he saw the threads drive through rock, and knew from his clones' experiences that they were very dangerous.

Kakuzu's threads were chasing after Naruto from under the sleeves of his coat as he tried steering the young chunin away from his partner. Even though there wasn't anything he could do to actually kill Hidan, putting him back together after Naruto did whatever he was going to try and do was still going to be a pain in the ass.

As he attacked Naruto, a hole opened up in the ground behind him, revealing Yugito who jumped out and threw a kick at his head that he dodged. Yugito followed up upon landing back on the ground and threw a set of shuriken at him that made him jump into the air in order to dodge. "Fuuton: Repuushou (Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm)!"

A wind from Naruto changed the trajectory of the shuriken that Yugito threw to rising above Kakuzu. Kakuzu saw this and sighed, "Not again."

Yugito made a few hand-seals before calling out her jutsu, "Raiton: Kaminari Shuriken (Lightning Release: Lightning Shuriken)!" From the shuriken flying overhead, bursts of electricity snapped down at Kakuzu who was able to avoid every attack. He had already seen this jutsu in the desert against Naruto and his was far deadlier in its usage.

Hidan wriggled and squirmed as hard as he could to free himself, but the ground wasn't loosening up. It wasn't soil, it was solid rock and he cursed Naruto for taking advantage of his rituals to get such a cheap shot on him. Kakuzu outlasted the lightning jutsu from Yugito and dashed towards her, who in her injured state was unable to stay out of Kakuzu's speedy clutches and wound up grasped by the throat by the tall missing -nin. Yugito clutched at his outstretched arm as she felt him rob her of her oxygen, "You were very aggravating to run down. Do you know that?"

His monologue was cut off from going any further by Naruto attempting to run him through with his sword. Kakuzu shifted out of the way and threw a kick at Naruto who moved his sword to take the kick that still managed to push him back roughly fifteen feet before he was able to ground his feet to a stop, 'Just how strong is this son of a bitch? He's just as strong as me and he's got the size to bully me around if it comes to that.'

Yugito was still in Kakuzu's chokehold and tried fighting him off by trying to dislocate his outstretched elbow with punches, but he used his free hand to hit her in the body, robbing her of even more air and forcing her to cough up blood. After delivering the hit to her she burst into smoke and Kakuzu found himself holding Naruto around the neck instead, and he was none too pleased.
