Hello populous of planet earth, the long awaited update has finally arrived!! But it's only the first part of something I intended to be a big, honkin' chapter that unfortunally couldn't work out so it'll be broken up into 3 separate installments.. BUT FEAR NOT, for the next two should be up much faster than the this one with took approximately... 3 months... So look forward to a continuation that will be filled with both foreshadowing, tears, and hope all cramped impossibly into a da fan-fic!!!!!

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!”

The cold night winds blew over the burnt remains of once tall trees and bushes, the mighty oaks and spruces now nothing more than minor plies of blackened cinders already beginning to scatter in the breeze.
The brilliant moonlight cast down from the sky and bathed the entire forest in shining silver-tinted light, giving some dimension to the horrors that were currently transpiring within the once calm woods.

The Leaf ninja were just barely able to defeat Hōkkami, thanks in no small part to Naruto and the Nine-Tails overloading him with insane amounts of hatred and making him explode in fireball of hate, pride, and greed.
And just when they thought that they had finished the exorcism…

“GUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! KITAGUMA KILL YOU ALL!!!”

The second and much stronger demon, The Northern Bear Kitaguma, had been awakened.

“Shit, EVERYONE! RETREAT INTO THE FOREST, I’LL HOLD HIM OFF!!!!” Tsunade shouted at the top of her lungs, just barely dodging another giant hunk of bedrock that Patrick’s frail body literally tore out from the ground. His tiny clawed fingers piecing the super-heated and hardened flagstone, then he ripped up huge amounts of rocks and earth around the size of small houses over his head and chucked them at the Leaf ninja.

The only good thing about the whole situation was that the boulders hurdling at them were easy to dodge because, even though it was night, they were so big and easy to see that almost anyone could dodge them. It was almost too easy…

That would have to wait. Until he was fully taken over nobody was allowed to attack because even if Patrick had a weird ability to avoid death under tremendous circumstances, that luck wouldn’t be enough if his body took another hit like the one it did earlier.

While she was dodging the volley of earthen projectiles, the Hokage made a false charge at the white haired boy in attempt to lure the demon to fully emerge.

“You shitty bastard! TAKE THIS!!” The slug sannin raised a balled up fist behind her and ran up at lightning speed toward the glowering demon child, whose body was currently producing a thick, frigid mist due to how cold it was becoming in preparation for some form of attack. Well, she would NOT be having any of that, at least not until she could safely smash the devil’s face in until he had eyes in the back of his head!

The slug princess was about thirty feet away and closing, the punch picking up velocity as she ran until she was right on top of him.

*SHING!SHING!SHING!SHING!SHING!SHING!SHING!SHING!SHING!*

Several of the indigo ice spikes shot out of the tiny fanged ninja’s body right before Tsunade’s punch would have connected if she had meant to hit him, which she didn’t. She only meant to graze him and scare out the demon.

Strangely, the idea came to her when she was researching ways people used to exorcise demons. Some more ancient cultures used to think that the hiccups were demons tormenting a person and that scaring the host would scare out the demon as well, thereby freeing the person from its evil grasp. A ridiculous superstition of course, but the logic seemed sound in this situation.

When the icicles emerged from Patrick’s small body, they nearly took out Tsunade’s left eye, only a millimeter or two away from partially blinding her.

Luckily for her, she was able to stop just before she would have been impaled by the freshly spouted spikes.
And just as quickly as they appeared, they softened and constricted around Patrick’s body. They writhed and slithered in and out over his entire body and began to multiply. The mass of wriggling ether cables surrounding the boy’s body began to swell, out and up, until it resembled a giant orgy of cold azure pythons clumped into a ten foot tall pile.

When the heap finally reached a height of thirteen feet, they began to liquefy and remold into the demon’s true physical form. First a large, stout belly slightly protruded from its mid-section and continued to create a more detailed outline to his finer features.

Several tentacles coiled around each other to form two stout, thick legs with a pair of wide spread paws with four stubby claws on each foot. Even more weaved together dozens of times over to make two gigantic arms thicker than tree trunks with rounded hand-paws that made man-hole covers look like beer coasters, each nubby finger equipped with short claws longer than the ones on his feet, but shorter than a human hand.
After the large, muscular chest, broad shoulders, and wide pelvis were built to support the immense appendages, the final piece began to take shape. The head.

Much too small for its body, only a bit bigger than a large watermelon, the tendrils wrapped, looped, and twisted around until a medium-sized oblong sphere rested atop the mountainous abomination. Then the egg-shaped ball began to develop. Two rounded ears appeared on the upper sides of his head along with a rectangular snout and two empty eye sockets.

His snout cracked across the middle creating a jagged mouth opening with sharp, pointed teeth popping out of the makeshift gums.

And as a final touch, a thick, shaggy coating of light grey fur sprouted and lengthened until it looked exactly like a regular massive, seventeen-foot, grey-furred, bipedal, demonic polar bear…

When the colossal monster’s ashen fur coat finally grew to its desired length, the empty eye sockets started to flow with a dark inky energy radiated and condensed from the empty optical voids.
The more black smoke-like substance flowed out, the more it swirled and condensed into the eye holes, until two perfectly formed spheres of shadowy energy darker than a starless night occupied the once vacant sockets.

With no pupils and its eyes being one solid color it was difficult to tell, but the creature was looking in various directions to access its surroundings.

It looked down while raising its left paw to look at it, then the right paw, then its large stomach and short legs.
All the while, the Leaf ninja were to stupefied to move. The monstrous behemoth towered directly over Tsunade while she looked up at the creature in both defiance and fear. The bigger they are, the harder they fall!! Right…?

The hulking behemoth loomed over Tsunade before raising a fist over its head and slammed it into the ground beneath its feet where the Hokage had been a moment ago before quickly running and sliding between the monster’s two tree-trunk like legs.

She popped back up behind the creature and launched herself off of the ground to try and punch Kitaguma in the back and hopefully cripple him enough for her to land a finishing blow, but while she was in the air he spun around and cocked his own wrecking ball of a fist and they both released their punches into each other creating a giant shockwave of power that engulfed the now empty clearing in a whirlwind of destructive energy, upturning large, exposed rocks and lifting the fallen trunks of once mighty oaks into the air as if they were toothpicks and hurdling toward the still standing ones near where the other ninja had taken shelter while their leader battled the demon in an effort to buy time for them to warm up their own frigid bodies and prepare for battle.

“Holy crap,” Naruto whispered to no one in particular while Sakura was tying off a section of gauze from a med-kit around his left arm and moving on to Kiba’s right leg.

“Yeah, tell me about it. I’ve never seen her like this before.” Sakura finished doing what she could for the two boys and started helping Ino with a bad cut on Choji’s side caused by shrapnel of wood.

“I have,” Naruto replied, “When Orochimaru almost tricked her into healing his hands. She’s pissed now, but not as pissed as she was then… OK I’M GOIN’ BACK!!”

Naruto stood up, most of his injuries now only scares and bruises, and rushed into the fray while biting deeply into this thumb. Drawing blood for…

“Summoning Jutsu!!” And at his call, the great and extremely pissed-off Chief Toad Gamabunta appeared and crashed into the scene bellowing a fearsome battle cry:

“HOL-Y SHIT IS IT COOOLD!!!! DA FUCK YOU SUMMON ME HERE FOR KID?!!”

The overfed, apathetic frog then looked down at the fierce battle between the large demonic bear and currently battered Hokage and sighed deeply to himself.

“Let me get this straight,” he said to the blonde ninja sitting atop his head while taking a deep drag out his enormous pipe and billowing out the factory-sized smoke plume into the chilly night-time air, “you dragged me all the way out here, in the freaking freezing weather, to deal with this SHRIMP?!! I’ve had boils that look tougher than him!!!!”

Sighing again he didn’t even both getting into a battle stance but simply raised a warty, orange appendage over his head.

“MOVE IT IF YA DON’T WANNA BE ROADKILL!!!” Gamabunta then proceeded to slam is giant, slimy fist into the earth right where Tsunade and Kitaguma had been having a sumo-like shoving contest to see whose monster-strength was superior until the large shadow of froggy-doom loomed over their heads.

Luckily Tsunade had speed and agility as well as strength, something the beast she was fighting did not possess. So while she was able to jump out of the way of the crashing freight train like collision of toad’s punch, Kitaguma wasn’t as lucky.

When the dust settled around the clearing, the only visible thing still in one piece besides the toad chief’s webbed hand was Tsunade, who was staring slack-jawed at massive crater created by the giant frog’s monstrous blow and thinking that she would have a nice, long talk with Naruto about having better control over his summons…

“Pfft, see? This guy wasn’t even worth my-huh?!” Gamabunta attempted to lift his heavy fist out of the upside-down dome like crater he had smashed into the bedrock, but was met with unexpected resistance.
Using his right arm, he grabbed his left and yanked with all his might but it remained glued to the ground by some invisible force.

He was about to shout some more profanity and simply de-summon himself as to escape from his unknown entrapment, when the invisible force started to pull back on his arm!

Before anyone realized what was happening, THEE Chief Toad Gamabunta, ruler of Mount Myoboku and all of it’s inhabitants as well as a frog that could crush whole mountains with his immense weight, was picked up and thrown onto his back judo style!!!

The resulting smack-down crushed countless numbers of trees as his huge warty body collided with the earth and created a tremendous crashing sound accompanied by a violent shaking similar to a level 5 earthquake.
Kitaguma erupted out of the earth in another ear-splitting roar of anger at being punched into the ground and victory that he had just flipped the shit out of whatever had smacked him into the ground!

With a lot of effort and swearing, Gamabunta rolled off of his back and onto his back two legs and knocked the
dust and bits of whole trees off of his robe.

“Ok, NOW I’M PISSED!!!!!” The chief toad reached for his short sword and was ready to cut that tiny little insect in half!! NOBODY THREW THE CHIEF!!!!! NOBODY!!!!!!

With his pride damaged, there wasn’t anything in the ninja world much more dangerous or destructive aside from the tailed beasts themselves then an emotionally unstable Gamabunta throwing a tantrum.

In the midst of the chaos, Tsudande found Naruto who had been bucked off of the giant toad into a pile of bushes at the edge of the glade while she narrowly dodged being stepped on by Gamabunta as he stomped into battle with the bear demon.

She quickly ran over to the to where Naruto was and yanked him up by his jacket and started to violently shake him back into the world of the living.

“WAKE UP YOU IDIOT!! DE-SUMMON BUNTA BEFORE HE LEVELS THE FOREST!!!!!”
With his eyes still spinning, the orange wearing ninja barley kept from throwing up as he spoke. “I *HUU!*… already tried…that. He…won’t listen…to me…” and promptly went limp in her hands while a veins popped up on her neck and forehead.

Well big fuckin’ surprise there!! When was the last time he listened to anybody?! But scolding Naruto would have to wait until later. Right now they needed a solution to the 100 ton toad trampling over everything in his path while fighting something smaller than a cockroach in comparison but at least as strong as the giant frog himself.

The two beasts continued to exchange blows while Gamabunta kept going at him with his short sword and each time it would get knocked aside like it was a bamboo kendo sword.

But it was obvious to everyone conscious that the giant orange toad was slowing down much faster than usual. Given the fact that no matter how big he was, toads start to hibernate when the temperatures drop to a certain degree. And it had been far blow that temperature for quite some time.

“F-Fuck...it’s too *yawn!* fuckin’ c-cold. I’m outa here. Good luck kid, you’re gonna need it! Gonna take a *YAWN!!* nap…”

And with a large puff of smoke he was gone, leaving nothing but gigantic footprints and several freezing, angry ninja, and one enraged demon to duke it out like before. Big help he was…

Pulling him out of the bushes and carrying Naruto under her arm, the Hokage made a mad dash to a patch of still standing trees where both the earlier explosion and giant toad had failed to devastate. The two blondes quickly rushed over and ducked under a tree to avoid being spotted.

After a quick couple of head-counts, everyone was accounted for. Bruised, battered, and exhausted beyond belief, but alive at least.

The sound of their heavy breathing was accompanied by the constant unsettling roars and growls of anger the Northern Bear while he searched for his weakened prey. He had just kicked the living shit out of a Godzilla-sized frog, so nobody was exactly jumping at the chance to get into a ring with him.

However if they didn’t fight him soon he might loose interest and look for more prey in the village. They would have to make a stand eventually, but as it stood they didn’t stand much of a chance.
The cold the bear’s body was giving off was acting like air-conditioner on steroids, the grass already starting to die while frost began to make the entire west side to the forest look like the beginnings of a frigid, icy tundra in the dead of winter.

“Does anybody have any info on that thing? Weak spots, vulnerabilities, limitations?” Tsunade pleated with the group.

“Well, I’ve noticed a few things.” Shikamaru spoke up. “Whatever it is, its definitely different from Hōkkami. It hasn’t used any jutsu and has only attacked with raw physical power. Any kind of head-on attack will definitely not end well for us, so the key to defeating him is that we have to use something with no physical power whatsoever.”

Another thunderous bellow of annoyance rang throughout the woodland that would have scared any animal that hadn’t already fled or froze and caused the night-time guards of the village gate to raise an ear and turn there heads in the direction of an unusually cold summer wind. But they simply shrugged it off and enjoyed the cooling effects as most of the summer had been quiet humid.

Back to the ones who would be begging for any kind of humidity or warmth, the strategy genius uncovered his ears and took in several deep, visible breaths as he continued to explain his strategy.

“We already know that fire is his biggest Achilles heel, so anyone with fire and wind styles attack together to enhance the effects of the flames. Also, anyone with lighting style should go in for a side-by-side combo attack. Another thing I noticed is that he’s pretty slow but can somehow predict our attacks and counter them perfectly. If we all attack at the same time from different directions fast enough, even if he can predict it he won’t be able to move fast enough to do a thing about it.”

The adults were surprised that they hadn’t thought of this strategy themselves. Attacks and defenses that required solids or liquids like earth, water, weapons, or animals would prove virtually useless against that thing since its body was harder then shit they couldn’t harm it with conventional methods. The use of non-matter and non-physical weapons such as wind, lightning, and fire seemed like the best choices.

The problem would be moving fast enough to confuse the fat-ass, considering it was able to accurately anticipate any move they made and counter with overwhelming force.

“Ok,” Shikamaru pointed to Gai then Kakashi and finally Anko, “I need you three to wait for my signal and attack that abomination with everything you’ve got. Ino, Choji, and I will do a basic InoShikaCho to get him riled him up and when that gets released it’ll be your signal to move in. Lady Hokage, since you’ve fought him its likely it will be you who he goes after first. Are you ok for battle?”
She simply huffed at the question while standing with her hands on her hips and flashing a devious smirk.

“I’m always ready for a fight.”

Shikamaru just smirked right back. “Alright, looks like we have a plan. Well then Lady Hokage, if you be so kind?”

“Hmph! It’d be my pleasure...!”

Stop, cliffhanger time!! XD

Next time on Patrick's Story- A Beauty, a Beast, and a Prophecy: The Fate of Humanity Revealed?!!!
