Chapter 53: CH 53
Gaara looked at Naruto for a moment as the smile left Naruto's face and his stare turned chilly, "I wasn't really asking you Gaara. Either you go after Lee and let me finish this or I'll kick your ass off into the woods until you can't even see the field anymore, and you know damn well I'm capable of that."
Gaara stared back until he stepped back and ran off towards the border, "I will go Uzumaki, but you had better not lose." Naruto waved over his shoulder as Gaara left the area. Kimimaro strode forward swishing his tail, "That was honorable of you to elect to continue our battle one-on-one in order to keep your comrade alive and safe from my wrath. I will make your death as honorable as I can for trash such as you."
Naruto grinned at Kimimaro evilly, "I didn't make him leave because I thought he would die fighting you, hell I won't die fighting you, because you can't kill me. I made Gaara leave because while I am fully capable of killing you here, it's going to cause me to go a little overboard, and I don't need too many witnesses for this, I catch enough crap without people knowing I can do this."
The Kyuubi stopped focusing on Naruto's fight when he realized what Naruto was going to do, "Kit no! Wait! Your body isn't sturdy enough to handle the stress that it will cause you! You don't even have enough of your own energy and chakra to attempt it!"
Naruto didn't answer, instead choosing to undo the bag on his waist and empty its contents into his hand, grin still in place. In the palm of his blood stained hand were three soldier pills. Naruto looked at Kimimaro defiantly and popped all three at once.
After a second Naruto began to twitch as the veins on his head began to pulsate. Kimimaro was curious as to what Naruto was doing at this moment, all of those pills would require an immediate outlet for his chakra or else he would die within less than five minutes.
Naruto expelled as much of his chakra as he could, enveloping his body in an aura of blue, he then channeled as much of the Kyuubi's chakra as his body could handle generating at one moment. The red glow from his body raised up high into the sky. As suddenly as it was all expelled it was all sucked right back into Naruto's body. It didn't dissipate, it didn't fade away as if he had just stopped using it, no. He sucked it back into his body. You could literally see the chakra entering through his pores, turning his skin the color of an angry red, as if his entire body was irritated greatly.
Naruto fell to his knees as he began scratching at his skin and screaming in pain as a vulpine snout began extending from his face while he gritted his teeth, now becoming fangs. Naruto's ears retracted into his head and reappeared on top as his hair turned red. His pores, which were still wide from absorbing so much chakra, began to quickly sprout red hair from them, covering his body in fur. Naruto's muscle mass increased to an added one-half of what it already was, pumping him up considerably. His claws extended even more than they already were. Naruto's spine pushed downward out of his pants and skin and split into two before muscle and skin grew over both segments, followed by more fur to make bushy, white-tipped fox tails. In the end he looked like a werewolf, only as a fox instead of a wolf.
