Naruto immediately found himself in the outside world and snarled his eyes practically glowing crimson before he attempted to suppress the foxes chakra only for the burning pain around his seal to intensify nearly ten times over, he realized that the blasted fox did indeed make it easier to control. He grit his teeth and tried as hard as he could to suppress the chakra, barely managing to drop it from two tails to a single tail's worth. He groaned but ignored the pain as best he could, he only had one tail worth of the foxes chakra but felt as if he was getting three tails worth of pain.
He snarled and rolled back his sleeve and saw to his great…displeasure, to put it mildly, that damage was being done faster than what it could be healed. He hissed when his metal gauntlets and facemask began to burn, he removed them quickly, letting them drop with a hiss to the grassy floor where they continued to let out smoke.
He clutched his head in pain, the chakra fought ravenously against the seal. It held strong but the pain was almost unbearable. It felt as if his entire body had been dipped in molten steel. He tried to suppress the chakra again but it fought back with a viciousness he had rarely encountered before with anyone or anything he had faced.
Tsunade landed, and looked to her blond companion in silent shock before she forced herself to snap out of it, she could ask questions later.
She turned back to her opponent, who was now getting to his feet. She rushed him, never once hesitating in her stride.
Naruto turned at the sound of her footsteps, he ignored the intense pain of the Kyuubi's chakra and got to his feet. He blocked her attacks as best he could but the pain was impossible to ignore even for him. Tsunade's assault was relentless but he managed to hold his ground if just barely. Finally he found an opening in her assault and unsheathed his last remaining sword and slashed the woman across the stomach, it began to heal but just then the purple seals that covered her faded and receded back into the diamond on her forehead.
She faltered for a moment and Naruto took the opportunity and formed another Rasengan in his hand, but, with Kyuubi's chakra interfering he couldn't fully complete the last stage and instead slammed an imperfect Rasengan into her stomach. Tsunade skidded back several yards before coming to a stop, numerous lacerations covered her arms, legs, upper torso, all giving a spiral like design around one gaping hole in her stomach. She fell to her knees and coughed up blood. She gritted her teeth and focused her healing chakra.
Naruto moved to attack but suddenly his chakra flared up, the Kyuubi's chakra had sensed the blood and was now fighting against the seal. It spiked to the point where it would have been the equivalent to three tails once more, the haze of red chakra around him was now a massive fog like cloud. A vicious blood curdling roar of pain escaped his throat as he fell to his knees in agony. He looked to his uncovered hand and saw the skin practically falling away, revealing muscle and tissue beneath. The chakra was going to kill him before Tsunade could.
He tried to stand but only succeeded in getting to one knee. Blood seeped from his mouth, eyes and ears, dripping to the floor. He snarled through his teeth and stood as he glared at Tsunade. The woman panted as her healing was finally done and looked into his blood red eyes.
Even now, blood covered and consumed in red chakra as he was she could see the message in his gaze clearly.
'I will not fail! You will not stop me!'
Akina growled as she saw Naruto exchange blows with Tsunade. She rushed forward intent on attacking him as well when a fist hit her right across the jaw knocking her down to the floor, she rolled once and got back to her feet. She snarled at the now one eyed man as he took his stance holding his one good arm infront of him. "Your opponent is me." He spoke with a cold hard gaze.
She snarled before she rushed him, her clawed hands slashing with animalistic fervor. Her attacks were wild and crazed, her speed had nearly quadrupled from what it was and the wild nature of her attacks was making it increasingly difficult to block or dodge.
Finally she over extended herself and the Kiri nin grabbed her wrist before he heaved her over his shoulder and slammed her into the ground, he didn't release his grip and began spinning round and round until he finally released her, tossing her into a tree.
As she stood he saw her eyes flash and a faint glow came from beneath her clothing around her stomach before she extended her claw and the red chakra claw shot out towards him. He was surprised but managed to swerve out of the way in time to avoid it, only to see the claw sink itself into a tree a few yards behind him. It groaned in protest, he snapped his head back to the girl but turned it back to the tree and felt his remaining eye go wide as the tree was now coming towards him. The claw dragging it back. He practically dropped to the floor, narrowly avoiding it as it passed overhead.
