The Girl that looks like a Cat

The cat girl seemed to be making jokes. And said that the previous clone they faught was simply a fake. Maybe she really was stronger then the clone and the clones was only a bit of what she could do. Nonetheless he and Hinata still needed to take her out. Inori made the first move but Hinata countered it and struck herself. But Inori dodged it and came in with a summersault kick straight for Yamato. Raising his right arm he grabbed Inori's ankle stopping it from reaching him. Now that she was hanging their most likely unable to move this was both Yamato and Hinata's chance to strike. As he blocked the kick he reached into his pouch grabbing hold of a kunai. Swirling it out he grab hold of it and stabbed it right into Inori's calf. This would make it hard for her to move on that leg. Now Hinata could come in with one of her on attacks.

Yamato was not suprised when Inori blocked his kunai attack with her other foot. He knew she was quick from their previous incounter. When Inori swung her paws down onto Yamato's shoulders and drop kicked Hinata, Yamato formed a hand seal with the kunai in between his hands. Two wood pillars, one from each shoulder, would come out and push Inori off of him into the air. While she was being pushed up into the air Yamato would show the kunai he was holding straight towards one of Inori's arms because they were being pushed. Yamato then jumped back to clear from Inori before she landed back onto the roof.

Yamato looked down at his hand after hearing Hinata's cry. There was a symbol meaning "time" on his palm. It was the hand he had blocked Inori's kick with. It then caught Yamato's eye when he noticed another one on the roof, way larger. "Time?" Yamato asked himself as he looked back at Inori who was smiling, as usual. "Hinata, when she attacks you you'll just have to avoid contact from her and evade" as Yamato pulled up his left sleave to see no symbol on his forearm. " It seems that she can only put the symbols on us once we touch her." Inori had blocked and kicked the both of them, yet they still only had the symbols where they touched her. Forming a single hand seal wood pillars would burst up all around Inori from the roof wrapping and binding her to the roof. Inside the wood pillars was earth to make them more dense and harder to brake. Putting his left hand out (the one without the symbol) as water started spinning around Yamato would say "we need to take her out before we find out what she has planned!" And with that Yamato charged in towards the trapped Inori swinging his water torent right into Inori's chest. And if Hinata attacked from behind with her own attack, it would be even more damaging to Inori.

Yamato found himself engulfed by purple flames, but he didn't feel any burning sensation or anything. It was as if it were not touching him. Because of this he haulted his attack on Inori. Next thing Yamato realized was that Hinata seemed a whole lot smaller then she use to be, or Inori looked a whole lot bigger. He then looked down at himself raising his hands. He was the size of a child. "Time..." Yamato muttered to himself. "She rewound time on our bodies." Yamato looked up to see Hinata was fightened and Inori had her claws out ready to strike. To come up with a jutsu to unseal this would take forever, and Yamato didn't have the time right now. But he still has the same amount of chakra as before. He needed to think of a way out of this, but had to concentrate on the fight as well. Being very puzzeled Yamato went with the first thing that came to mind. Yamato clapped his hands together as he usually did, but no wood or anything came out to wrap around Inori or anything. Instead a small wood piece with a hand came out of the ground out of sight from Inori wrapping around the kunai he had thrown into the air that was now stabbed into the roof. The wood grabbed the kunai and flicked it right to Inori's back. If the kunai made contact with Inori's back she would most likely now be concentrated on the kunai. Clapping his hands once more now bent over as he slapped his hands on the ground. The roof under Inori would start to crumble under her. Falling right through the roof, once her whole lower body had gone through, Yamato closed the hole up with wood catching Inori right in the middle. This would leave Inori sticking out from the roof shoulder length high. Now Hinata could make her move. But if she didn't, and only if she didn't, Yamato would form the doton hand seal so two earth pillars would burst out from the roof around Inori in an arch to sandwhich her head inbetween the two earth pillars.

"Dammit" was all Yamato could say as Inori easily evaded his attacks. She then went for Hinata and whiped the kunai back at Yamato with her tail. Normally Yamato would have no problem dodging it. But he was no longer in his adult body and could not move as quick. He tried to evade the incoming kunai but was to slow. It stabbed right into Yamato's thigh as he put both his hands around the kunai. Yamato looked up at Inori while putting most of his weight on his other leg to make it less painful. Hinata was now under Inori's foot as she seemed to be doing everything so effortlessly. Yamato took this as his chance to strike at Inori while she wasn't looking and seemed to be ocuppied with something else. Reaching into his pouch he would pull out another kunai. He had attached an exploding tag around the handle for an extra kick. Throwing the kunai, it would lodge into Inori's right shoulder blade while she seemed to be looking out in the distance. Only once the kunai was stabbed into Inori's shoulder blade would Yamato set the exploding tag on fire. Once exploding it would blast Inori off of Hinata freeing her. Yamato could not move as quick as he could before because of the kunai so he was ready to use a jutsu, all while in pain from the kunai.

Yamato's kunai was a succes and allowed Hinata to get free and make her own move. And it was also a succes. "Now's my chance" Yamato said to himself while Hinata was making her move. He knew Inori's chakra flow would be disrupted after that attack so it would be harder for her to use her kanji's and all. Putting his right hand out water would start to spin over his palm like a vortex. It just kept growing as Hinata hit Inori with her final blow sending her rolling towards Yamato. Yamato ran towards the rolling enemy trying to give her no chance to get back up. " Water Release: Tearing Torrent!" as he thrusted the vortex of water down into Inori causing a massive explotion of water to errupt Blowing Yamato's little body away but crushing Inori's body against the roof top with an enourmous amount of water. Smashing into the railing of the roof top as he fell down onto one knee he quickly look up to see what had happened. Not getting up right aways because his smaller body took the pain worse then his older body. "I have to stop her now.." Yamato said as he preform a set of five hand seals. "Wood Release: Binding Nest!" In seconds a single tree would brake through the rooftop around Inori as it wrapped around her trapping her within in tree leaving only her head to be seen. Hopefully this could hold her off or Hinata to make another move.

Yamato instantly looked up to Hinata as she yelled out his name. By then Inori was popping out of some symbol that had been placed on the roof. Yamato looked back at the tree and noticed Inori was no longer there and she was now stabbing Hinata with her claws. "Hinata!" Yamato yelled out as Hinata fell to the floor. "Who is she?" Yamato said to himself after she explained what the sealing jutsu was. You have to be quite the sealing nin if you have a jutsu like that in your arsenal. Now she was headed for him, and with his child body he was not quick enough to move out of the way. But he was saved by a suitcase. Yamato quickly looked over only to see Kakuzu of the Akatsuki. "Reinforcements?" Yamato asked himself. But it couldn't be. Akatsuki would never ally with Konoha and Suna nin's, unless they were paid. Yamato quickly made his way over to Hinata while Inori was destracted by Kakuzu. Yamato got down beside her to flip her onto her back to see if she was still alive. "Hinata, you need to heal yourself" he'd say hoping she heard him. Yamato looked over to the two shinobi while holding Hinata and it hit him. He realized why the Akatsuki was here. Because they were also after the Jinchuriki. "There must be more of them" Yamato would say as he looked back down at Hinata worred about her.

Kakuzu looked down at his new enemy with his emotionless green eyes being the only part of his face revield to the creatre ahead. Thinking to himself as the two Konoha nins mingled with each other "Konoha sent children? How ridiculous. Hmmm, the boy look familiar" talking about Yamoto. Turning his attention to the nuisance that was his enemy Kakuzu would say in a deep voice "I dont have time to waste with someone as insignificant as you, so lets hurry up and get this over with." Kakuzu was going to let the cat girl make the first move as he knew nothing of her abilities and he didnt want to reveal any of his right away. He intended on planning the counter attack first.

Kakuzu was surprised to see that the cat girl had not attacked him. Was it because she was running out of chakra and wanted to avoid fighting or was she simply being an idiot as she so clearly demonstrated. Only paying attention to the fact that she was a sensor, Kakuzu would have to change some of his battle tactics now that she gave out that peice of information. Paying little attention to the crap she was babaling about, Kakuzu shifted his pale green eyes over to the two Konoha nin once more as one of them looked familiar. But in all his many years of fighting he couldnt remeber every face he saw. What caught his attention was how young they were. "It would appear things have changed, villages are now sending children on missions of S ranked caliber." Even though Kakuzu hadent been affiliated with a village in the longest time, things couldnt have changed this much to send children on such dangerous missions. There was something fishy going on. Turning his attention back to the annoying feline he would say "I figured talking would be a waste of time. Looks like I assumed wrong. Lets cut through all the bull shit and get strait to business. You wont answer any of my questions, so let me offer you a deal. You answer one question, and in return I'll leave you alone to finish playing with the Konoha children."

"The seal!" Yamato said after Hinata mentioned it. He had gotten so caught up in trying to protect Hinata while she healed herself that he completley forgot about the seal. He quickly turned his head over as the seal was still bright ontop of the roof. But then Yamato over heard Inori's deal. And things were not looking good for the two Konoha nins because it was most likely an offer Kakuzu was not going to give up. "I can't let Hinata destract them by herself" he says beside him as he forms a single hand seal. Wood started coming out from the side of his body creating a wood clone beside Hinata. Then Yamato jumped back a bit sliding down on one knee as he formed some hand seals. "With such a high level sealing jutsu, it will take a while to be able to negate it." Holding out his right hand infront of him with his left hand holding his wrist, a symbol slowly started materializing on his palm, very slowly. Then a purple flame formed on his thumb once 1/5th of the seal had formed. "This may take to long" Yamato whispered looking up at Kakuzu. The clone Yamato formed a single hand seal as wood slowly started coming out of the roof around him. When the moment came and Kakuzu struck, the clone would be ready to strike.

Kakuzu grunted from behind his mask as the cat refused his deal and made of you her own. Not only was it the same deal Kakuzu had proposed himself, he had been alive for a much longer time span than his opponent. So he could tell when someone was bluffing. "Enough wasting my time!" Kakuzu roared as he vanished from where he stood, using the same blinding speed he used when he kicked Kakashi through several trees, and he didnt even see him coming with a sharingan. So even though the cat girl was a sensor type, she would have a hard time anticipating Kakuzu's attack. Coming to a sliding hault on one leg on the rooftop that Inori stood on. His skin having turned into the iron on his way there, Kakuzu swung his leg which he wasnt standing on right into Inori's side. His shin colliding with her elboe would definitly snap her elboe and send her flying crash landing onto the roof of another building several blocks down. Looking over to where the cat girl was, paying no attention to the Konoha nin as they were not his target Kakuzu would say "Now your only option is death."

Yamato was grateful Kakuzu did not take up on Inori's offer, but that did not mean they were allies now. He was still an enemy and they needed to be cautious around him. Before they knew it Kakuzu already attacked Inori and sent her away with amazing speed and strength. "Damn Akatsuki" Yamato said because they always seem to be so strong and fast. Yamato's eyes shot towards Hinata when she heard her get back up. "What's she doing, she's not fully healed yet" Yamato said to himself still working on the jutsu to undo the seal on them. The wood clone which stood with Hinata noticed she was pulling out soldier pills. After all she was a healing nin so it was no suprise she'd have them. But the wood clone quickly made one of the many wood beams wrap around Hinata's wrist stopping her from taking the pills. "Use them for later, when you'll really need them. Look" the clone said, telling her to look at Kakuzu. "He's after the girl, not us. If you get in his way he'll kill you. Stay back for now." Releasing the wood from her wrist he brought it back around him watching Kakuzu at all times. Meanwhile Yamato had 2/5ths of the seal complete and two flames, a third one forming.

Kakuzu simply kept his pale green eyes on the position of his real opponent, never paying attention to the insignificant Konoha children not to far from him. Inori had popped the arm which Kakuzu so clearly broke back into place. Now she was some how jumping off invisible platforms in the air. "You are one wierd manner of creature. Regardlessly, I will wipe that spirk off your face." Vanishing from where he stood once more, this time while he vanished he performed a seal allowing his skin turn into a material harder than metal. Apearing on a building behind Inori, Kakuzu knew she was a sensor type, so she already knew he was there. Before he fully landed onto the building his left arm was already extending towards the cat girl floating in the air. Fingers perfectly strait, covered in the rock armor, being the iquivalent of a sword would stab into her back and come out the other side. Stabbing strait through her heart, Kakuzu's grey hand would be drenched in Inori's thick red blood. Swiftly de-extending his hand, it would connect back to his wrist. The force of the pull would slightly push the cat girl backwards, allowing her to fall back onto the side of the moutain where she would role down onto one of the circular platforms serounding the moutain top. Kakuzu knew that she wasnt a normal human, so he would keep his eyes on her waiting to see if she was dead or still alive.

4 flames now, the last one on its way.

As the cat girl avoided his extending arm and cut it off, a tingling pain ran through his stichings but it was nothing for the zombie. Before Inori completed her desent to another invisible platform one of the tentacles still attached to Kakuzu's arm wraped around the cat girls coat. Pulling her off to the side, the rest of the tentacles that were Kakuzu's arm would wrap around Inori's entire body. Restraining her from limb to limb and forcing her into a star position so she couldnt bring her hands together, Kakuzu would further extend his tentacles smashing the cat into the building that stood behind her. Spinning her to the hard stone surface, Kakuzu lifted his left arm and straitened his fingers, and his entire hand from his finger tips to his wrist hardened into iron. Thrusting his arm forward, his wrist would detach from the rest of his arm as the tentacles launched his hand strait towards the pinned Inori. If Inori did not find a way to brake free from the stichings that pinned her to the building, Kakuzu's other hand would come peircing right through her skull, splitting her brain into two.

Inori watched as the tentacles came in to try and grab her. She used her claws to slice the closest ones as she hopped back on her invisible platforms. Once she had some distance between her and the advancing tentacles, she created one of her barriers. All the tentacles trying to grab her looked like they were just moving around an invisible bubble that was incasing the cat-girl. No longer able to walk on her platforms, Inori would start falling through the air and towards the water below. If Kakuzu continued to hang on to the barrier-bubble, he would also be pulled off the edge and down into the abyss.
