The grass and trees were burnt to a black charcoal, light puffs of smoke floated up from the surrounding area.

The trees that weren't burnt black had a swirled dent in them.

Poor forrest.

"DAMMIT! why can't I get this!!!" A loud voice yelled as yet another tree gets a permanent swirl stuck in its side.

"Hn..." a more quiet voice said although you could hear the frustration.

The loud blond dropped to the ground, he was finally out of Chakra. He was covered in bruises and cuts from his previous failed attempts.

"Again" Zeref grumbled.

Slowly his body lit up from his feet, the fire spread all around him until his whole body was covered, but when he tried the inside he burnt himselfAgain.

Tired he too dropped to the floor in exhaustion.

"Argh!" He yelled, coughing up smoke, before he too fell to the ground in exhaustion.

Naruto was out cold, but Zeref was just laying on the ground, looking up at the stars.

He heard some footsteps, but didn't move once he recognised the smell.... his senses have increased.

The boys had been at it for almost a full week and neither had completed their end of the deal. From the looks of things...

The boys had lost. They had tomorrow  left and that was it.

Nether had the energy to eat let alone train, but both boys were equally as stubborn, but for tonight sleep finally won the battle.

When the boys had awoken they were no longer in the forrest but instead in the hotel room.

Once they were awake the boys noticed Shizune passed out on the chair nearby.

"Oi, wake up!" Naruto yelled.

Shizune shot up, with fear in her eyes, and a worried look on her face.

"How are you awake? Nevermind, we need to find Tsunade!" She announced.

Naruto immediately chased after Shizune, while Zeref hesitated, his still followed.

On their trip, they found Jiraiya and Acnologia stumbling, and were holding onto eachother for support.

"Damm woman" Jiraiya muttered.

"Tch, no smell, no taste, get only she could have a paralysis poison that can't be detected" Acnologia grumbled.

"Oi, what's the deal with that woman anyway, what did Orochimaru offer?" Jiraiya asked.

Shizune looked down to the ground in worry.

"If she fixed his arms, he would bring Dan and Nawaki back from the dead" she muttered.

It was silent for a while.

"Why am I not surprised. Then why are we still standing here, let's go stop her" Zeref stated.

"If you haven't noticed brat, Jiraya and I aren't exactly in tip top shape right now" Acnologia grumbled.

"But he's right!" Naruto shouted.

After a bit of talking the Ninjas headed off to find Tsunade.

They end up just missing her, but Zeref, acnologia and Ryu, who Zeref had summoned to help locate her had caught hold of her scent and were now filling it again.

They spot Tsunade with her back to a tree and frozen at the sight of blood, with no hesitation they all jump infront to protect her.

Tsunade however not wanting to be protected ran passed them and toward Kabuto, he however slit his wrist and at the sight of blood Tsunade froze once more.

"Ahh, Zeref my prize~" Orochimaru hissed.

"Creep" Zeref muttered.

"Huh? I don't get it? Kabuto is a friend, he helped with the Chunin exams" Naruto stated confused at the battle taking place.

"He is clearly a traitor" Zeref muttered.

"Of course your confused, your an idiot after all. It's sad that the holder of the ninetails, who has such potential, could never.match up to his teammate, Sasuke will always be better than you" Kabuto rants.

"Take that back!" Naruto shouted running at Kabuto.

Kabuto dodged his attack, and sent Naruto flying back to the group before healing his arm.

Shizune them went to attack Kabuto, while Jiraiya and Acnologia went to attack Orochimaru. Naruto and Zeref stayed to protect a still frozen Tsunade.

Orochimaru, with Kabuto's help manages to summon two giant snakes.

Meanwhile, Jiraya and Acnologia, who were still under the effects of Tsunade's drug could only summon Gamakichi and Ryu.

Naruto spots this and decided to attempt to summon a larger toad, but failed and summoned Gamatatsu, who they found out was Gamakichi's younger brother.

The two snakes attack and while Jiraiya manages to trap one in a nearby swamp, Narutp gets caught by the other.

Zeref pulls he sword out and attacks the snake that has Naruto trapped.

Shizune looses.to Kabuto and Jiraiya, Acnologia and Orochimaru were talking.

With Shizune defeated Kabuto turns to attack Tsunade but his attack was block by Naruto, who with the help of Zeref escaped.

As Naruto blocked the attack, the snake that attacked him dissapeared in a cloud of smoke after being defeated by Zeref.

"There are only two people I want and that is Sasuke and Zeref Uchiha" Orochimaru hissed.

"You'll get Zeref over Your cold dead body!" Acnologia shouted.

"Natural talent will never match up to hard work!" Jiraiya said.

"Ahh, but Zeref has Natural talent and is hard working, he is both you see, and that is why I want him!" Orochimaru stated.

Naruto tries to use his Rasengan, but missed and got hit in his leg.

"You'll never win" Kabuto stated.

"Oba-San don't forget our bet" Naruto growled out.

He summoned a clone to assure that the ball of Chakra keeps its shape.

Zeref who was watching in a tree, smirked and slowly covered himself in flames, both inside and out.

"RASENGAN!" Naruto shouted slamming Kabuto in the chest with it.

Kabuto gets sent flying back and slams into a rock, still conscious and heals himself, while Naruto passes out.

"Fire Dragons Iron Fist!" Zeref yelled form above, with no time to dodge Kabuto gets slammed into the ground with the fire covered fist knocking hims out cold.

Tsunade rushes to heal Naruto and places the necklace around him.

Orochimaru sees this and attempts to attack Naruto but was blocked by Zeref.

"I. Hate. Snakes" Zeref muttered, he stood tall infront of Tsunade who was trying to heal Naruto.

"Don't worry about him, I've got this, just heal Naruto" he muttered.

Tsunade looked at him in shock, as the stance he held had one of pure determination.

Shaken at the sight of Zerefs blood, Tsunade, looked at Orochimaru.

"Why would you risk your life for a coward" Orochimaru asked Zeref.

"Because, you were out to kill Naruto, and I can't let that happen..." he started his head was down and his hair covered his eyes, he slowly looked up for Orochimaru to see the Sharingan blazing and spinning widly.

" Because that idiot will become the Hokage" he muttered.

Tsunade looked at the damaged boy with respect as he slowly fell backwards due to the severe damage and lack of Chakra.thanks to using the dragon attack.

"The Hokage title is for fools" Orochimaru stated pointing this more towards Tsunade.

"Then I guess I am fool" she stated.

Orochimaru damages her, before trying to attack Naruto once more, but was blocked by Tsumade who used  Creation Rebirth.

With all the Sannin at enough Chakra all four summon their largest summon.

A Giant Snake, Toad, Slug and Dragon all face off against eachother.

"All of the Yonnin are Crazy" Zeref muttered watching the fight.
