Chapter 138 : Get Out
"What was that?!" Ino looked at him, completely alarmed. "Did someone just turn into a liquid and go inside you?" She had a hard time belivig what she just saw.
"What a strange sensation…" Naruto felt the right side of his body becoming numb, his control beginning to slip. "Move away, Ino."
"Huh?" She was right beside him, about to ask something, when he suddenly moved and threw a quick punch at her.
"Wh-" She dodged and jumped off the rocky dome. "What are you doing?!"
"I can't control that side…" Naruto glanced at his right hand as it seemed to move with a mind of its own. His hand twitched in unnatural ways.
"Haha! We've got you now," Sakon said while pointing at him. "It's just part of your body now, but soon… my brother will take over completely and kill you from the inside. And there's nothing you can do to stop it." There was a hint of worry beneath Sakon's words but he tried to hide it the best he could. His brother had already made the move and now they had to fully commit to it.
"I see…" Naruto said calmly, feeling his control slipping further as his right leg also began to go numb. "Interesting technique."
"Naruto! Don't just stand there. Do something!" Ino exclaimed. She would be freaking out if she was in his place.
"You do seem oddly calm… I'll give you props for that. Most would be begging for mercy by now," Sakon sneered.
"Argh, damn it!" Jirobo complained. "They keep hitting the dome. There are too many of them inside. Sakon, hurry up and kill those two already!"
Sakon frowned and glared at his companion. "If you can't even contain a few genin, I'm afraid your mission report won't look favorable. And you know what Lord Orochimaru thinks about failures."
Jirobo's face paled, and he went silent.
"Now… let's see," Sakon's eyes returned to Naruto. "Wait!." He shouted when he saw Naruto pull out a kunai and aimed it at…
"Naruto, stop!" Ino shouted, but she was too far away.
Naruto buried the kunai into his right arm.
"Ahhh!" A mouth appeared on the palm of his right hand, screaming in agony.
"So, you feel my pain too. I thought it would be like that…" Naruto muttered. He had once fought against a terrifying species that could take over the bodies of others by transforming into immaterial entities, directly infiltrating the soul.
Now that was frightening. Soul-based attacks were incredibly tricky to defend against.
Compared to that, what this boy was doing was child's play. A physical fusion had many flaws...the shared pain receptors, for one.
And it was worse in this case, as Ukon wasn't just feeling Naruto's pain...his own body was also being injured, making the situation more dangerous for him.
Usually, this was not a concern, as most people would not be that willing to injure themselves, but his current opponent was very different. Not only Naruto had a very high tolerance to pain, but he could also regenerate his wounds extremely quickly.
"Knowing that…" Naruto summoned the demon's chakra, something he could now call upon at will.
His eyes turned a deep orange, and the marks on his cheeks became more pronounced.
"I'll let you experience something much worse than a simple stab wound…"
The three other ninjas stared at him, wondering what he was planning.
A menacing red chakra began to coat Naruto's body.
Tails of this chakra began to manifest behind him, first one… then two… then three…
Ino already knew Naruto was the host for the Demon Fox, but this was the first time she'd seen him use the Kyuubi's chakra in such a way.
"Naruto…" She could only hope he knew what he was doing.
"Oh…" This was exactly what Sakon had feared since recognizing Naruto. He had tried to warn his brother about entering that body, but for a while, it seemed things were going in their favor, and he had brushed off his concerns.
Now it was clear he'd been right.
"Ukon, get out of there!" he shouted.
At this point, Naruto had enough control over the Kyubis chakra to avoid being hurt by it, for as long as he kept it at three tails or less. But for this case, he would allow the deadly substance to inflict damage upon him so he could expel the uninvited guest.
A wave of discomfort washed over Naruto as the toxic, demonic chakra ate away at his flesh and muscles. The more chakra he summoned, the quicker it deteriorated his body.
With three tails, it caused excruciating pain.
Naruto, however, had developed a high tolerance for this kind of pain and could filter most of it.
Ukon wasn't so lucky; he was feeling it doubly.
"Ahhhh!" he let out a bloodcurdling scream.
"Come back here, now!" Sakon ordered his sibling.
Under the intense agony, Ukon did his best to separate from Naruto, and thanks to years of practice, he managed to do so, even under such distress.
Liquid appeared to pour out of Naruto's body and flew toward Sakon, who felt his control over his right arm return immediately.
Naruto then repressed the demon's chakra, allowing his body to start healing the burns on his flesh without delay. Within seconds, he was ready to fight again.
"Ugh… that hurt a lot…" Ukon's head poked out from Sakon's shoulder.
"You should have listened to me! That guy's a Jinchuriki," Sakon scolded his brother.
"Ugh! He has two heads now… how creepy…" Ino grimaced before turning her attention back to her companion. "Naruto, you're hurt!" She moved closer to check on him. "Wait, I have some healing ointment somewhere…"
"There's no need, Ino… see?" He held up his hand in front of her. His skin was already pink and healing fast. "I'm fine." He had only used three tails, so the damage wasn't serious.
With five tails, it would be a very different story.
But looking at his opponents, it seemed unlikely it would come to that. They appeared weaker than Kabuto, at least. And he now had one more tool than before.
"Ino, I'm going to keep those two entertained. Your job is to disable this rock dome and free everyone. But try to avoid using your unique jutsu for that...it leaves you too vulnerable."
"Alright, leave it to me!" she said confidently.
