Akina used two kunai to block the strike as best she could but was still sent stumbling back. Guan turned again to face Shizune, swinging his sword again. Shizune stepped into the swing, wrapped her arm around his holding him in place and delivered a brutal head-but, knocking the Kiri swordsman into a daze just as Akina moved in and stabbed his forearm, making his grip on his sword slacken enough for her to yank it out.
Shizune formed a chakra scalpel in her hand and reared it back in preparation to cut the man's heart. Guan recovered from his daze and caught her wrist in time to stop her. He raised his leg and kicked her off of him.
Akina held Guan's massive sword with both hands, struggling to even lift the damn thing. The blasted hunk of metal weighed a ton to her, just why the hell did these bastards have to carry weapons that were so heavy?
Shizune spoke to her. "You know fire Jutsu right?" At Akina's nod she continued. "Good, take the sword somewhere and melt it, we cant afford to have him get it back and you're no good with that heavy thing weighing you down. I'll hold him off."
Akina looked like she was ready to protest but at a glare from Shizune made her nod and rush off as fast as she could to get some distance between her self and Guan.
Shizune looked back to the large man and took her fighting stance, it was the standard medic Taijutsu stance, strong offence when used in conjuction with chakra scalpel, but weak defense.
Guan recognized the stance and retaliated by taking his own offensive stance. "Do not make me fight you girl, I do not wish to kill you."
Shizune didn't say anything before she formed her hand seals. "Dokugiri" She yelled before releasing a huge cloud of poison that blanketed the area.
Naruto grunted in pain as his back was slammed against one of the tree's, he craned his head to the right just in time to avoid Tsunade's fist, letting it hit the tree and promptly topple it over. Naruto wasted no time and delivered punches to her stomach in rapid succession followed by an uppercut which snapped the woman's head up, leaving her chest wide open.
He reared back his left gauntlet covered hand forming a bright sphere of swirling chakra.
Tsunade' still dazed by the hits couldn't properly defend herself before he slammed the Rasengan right into her chest, sending her flying back spinning with the same motion of the sphere before she hit the floor, skipping over it like a pebble over the surface of a lake before her back slammed harshly against the rock face with a sickening crunch.
She fell to the ground on her hands and knee's one arm clutching her chest as she hacked up torrents of blood. She wheezed when she breathed, the sound coming out strained, strangled and painful. Naruto was almost certain she would die shortly.
Until the diamond shaped seal on her forehead pulsed and purple seals formed all around her body Naruto could hear the bones snapping back into place and hear as organs, flesh tendons, and tissue repaired itself nearly instantly.
The slug sannin stood, green chakra forming a hazy mist all around her she placed her hands in a seal and spoke. "Initial gate! KAI!"
As she yelled out the last word her muscles seemed to expand for a moment before compressing back to their normal size. She then formed another seal, Naruto, knowing that he had to stop this now, before she did any more drew on the kyuubi's chakra and rushed forward at incredible speeds
"Heal gate! KAI!" Her chakra instantly seemed to replenish itself and go beyond what she had even started with.
Naruto unsheathed his blade and pushed wind chakra into it as he cupped his free hand infront of his face mask, his eyes turning red as he began to call on more of the foxes chakra.
"LIFE GATE, KAI!" "KATON: ZUGOKU" She yelled releasing the third gate as Naruto blew out a stream of flames which was immediately combined with the wind chakra in his blade her skin turned red and her chakra output nearly quadrupled, her hair whipped around her wildly, undoing itself from its normal pigtails as she dug her fist into the ground and lifted it up, again using the earth as a shield to block out the flames.
She leapt away just as the ground she had been using as a shield exploded as Naruto tore through it like rice paper, two claws of red chakra rushed out of the dust and debris, they grabbed her roughly by the shoulders and began to burn her terribly, only to for her to replace herself with a log.
Naruto spun around in time to dodge Tsunade's axe kick, he stumbled as the earth shook and gave way beneath him as her foot connected. Tsunade took the opportunity it presented, grabbing him by the collar of his cloak, she reared her fist and punched the blond Jinchuriki as hard as she possibly could, pieces of his cloak were torn off and gripped firmly between her fingers as the blond was sent flying, slamming into the rock face hard enough to have it crumble ontop of him in a small land slide.
