So sorry for the wait and the shortness. I'm sick of the war and will now end it my own way. Idc what Sasuke is doing with Orochimaru i will completely skip that part if I have to cus this story is getting longer than i origionally planned. I planned to end it a LONG time ago so tell me what you think, i know that most of you are sick of it also.

Akuma was surrounded. Mariah had summoned her Paths giving her and Tadashi an advantage over her. 

"Doton Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu!"Mariah shouted.

She disappeared into the ground and tried to pull Akuma under the ground but she jumped out of the way. One Path appeared in front of her punching her. She went flying; unfortunately it was only a clone. Tadashi reached into his weapons pouch and pulled out some Senbon.

"Jouro Senbon!" He shouted as Senbon started to fall from the sky.

Akuma quickly took out a sword and deflected the senbon not breaking a sweat.

"Kokuangyo no Jutsu!" Mariah shouted.

The battle field started to darken to a point when you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face. Mariah along with Tadashi started throwing punches and kicks at her but Akuma merely dodged sending some their way but landed some hits.

 "Katon Karyuu Endan" Akuma shouted.

A huge fire dragon appeared brightening the darkness attacking Mariah and Tadashi. But they countered it with their own dragon canceling out them both. The heat from both dragons were intense making them sweat under their clothing. Mariah cancelled the jutsu allowing them to see again but only to see Akuma disappear then reappear behind Mariah; she kicked Mariah's back sending her towards the ground making a crater.

She hit the ground face first. Her  face was aching and blood started to pour down from her forehead.

"Mariah!" Tadashi called out in concern.

Tadashi who was distracted by Mariah turned around and saw a kunai heading straight for his face. He quickly dodged but it grazed his arm. Mariah held out her arm retrieving her sword. Akuma summoned her sword and lunged towards her.

"I'm sick of that stupid sword!" Akuma shouted.

Mariah  jumped out of the way as she was trying to stab her arm. Akuma attempted to slash her again succeeding but it was only a clone. Tadashi felt Akuma appear behind him so he bent down having his arm support himself lifting his left leg kicking her towards Mariah. Suddenly a clone appeared in front of Mariah; Akuma's sword went through her back out of her stomach and to the other side. Blood spewed from mouth.

The real Akuma came hurdling towards Mariah kicking her wound. Mariah's breath was knocked out of her and started to cough violently. She grabbed Akuma's sword but when she pulled it out her hands got cut in the process. The cuts were deep and they stung.

She was breathing heavily and fell onto her knees. Akuma came towards Mariah and attempted to kicked her again but Tadashi got in the way catching her foot. Mariah couldn't see anymore as the blood from her forehead was seeping into her eye. From behind them one of Mariah's paths summoned an animal which dashed towards Akuma. It came at lightning speed towards her then bit down at her side. She screamed out in pain clutching her side as her black blood poured out. With what chakra she had left, Mariah activated her Sharingan.

"Wind style, barrage tornado!" Tadashi shouted.

Mini tornados came onto the field and headed towards the weakened Akuma. She looked around for a way to escape the tornado. The tornados made all the dust fly up into the air making it hard to see. Akuma tried jumped over the tornados but she couldn't. The tornados captured her in its gusts whipping her around the battle field creating more and more cuts then finally slamming her into the ground. Mariah took out five kunai and threw them around the field effortlessly.

"I....won't....lose.." Akuma coughed as she slowly stood up.

"Man, this chick doesn't give up does she?"

Akuma made ten clones and they all had kunai in their hands. They started to surround Mariah and Tadashi then they swung the kunai  trying to land a hit. They all threw the kunai at them hitting both in the back and stomach. They took them out then threw them at the clones hitting all of them making them disperse into dust.

"Damn this is taking too long," Tadashi cursed.

Akuma was persistent. Even though she was badly injured, she refused to give up. Her body ached and protested but she kept moving refusing to lose to the lowlifes.  She took out a kunai and readied herself. Mariah took out some shuriken and threw them at Akuma. With the kunai Akuma deflected the shuriken and they flew on the ground. Mariah smirked and ran towards her. She got ready to fight them in Taijutsu. One second Mariah was running towards her the next  Tadashi was behind her.

Akuma  tried for a kick but Tadashi did a back flip. He appeared behind Akuma and grabbed her neck. He threw her up lifting his leg kicking her straight in the jaw. Akuma flew up into the air as Mariah came down and kicked her in the back but she caught Mariah's leg throwing her towards Tadashi. Mariah quickly made hand signs and made two clones. They both landed on the ground and ran towards Akuma as she readied himself. The first clone ran at her and kicked her side which made her fly towards the other one. The second clone kicked Akuma's stomach and she flew towards Tadashi.

 "Earth style, earth spikes!" Tadashi shouted.

The ground started to shake. Then out of the ground came huge spikes and they were going towards where Akuma was. She quickly jumped out of the way and landed behind Mariah making hand signs.

"Fire style: fire ball jutsu!" She shouted.

Mariah quickly activated her shield deflecting the jutsu.

 "Fire jutsu: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson" Mariah said as flaming shuriken flew towards Akuma.

She could barely dodge them for her side was bleeding out more. As quickly as she deflected them more came hitting her stomach causing her to wince. Out of Mariah's sleeve she pulled out a whip. With a flick of her wrist she sent the whip towards Akuma. The whip was very fast, almost faster than sound. She tried to get out of the way but the whip wrapped itself around Akuma. She couldn't move. Mariah lifted her up with the whip and threw her into the ground making a crater.

Akuma's face hit the ground first. Blood come down her face from her cheek. Once again Mariah's threw her. Blood spewed from her mouth and went onto the ground. She withdrew the whip allowing Akuma to get up giving her enough time to make more hand signs. Mariah had to finish this fast....her charka was almost up. She had enough for one more jutsu.

 "Lightning style, lightning storm!" She shouted putting her arm in the air.

Storm clouds then came over the forest and lightning came down from them and went for Akuma who was still on the ground. A bolt came down and hit a kunai that Mariah threw in the beginning of the fight. It acted as a conductor and the lightning made a line going to each kunai and shuriken. They all went to Akuma who was in the middle of everything.

The lightning came towards her and shocked her with 200 volts of electricity. She screamed in agony and pain. When the lightning died down she was on the ground panting and twitching violently.

"H.....how......when?" She panted.

"I planned this out since the beginning. When I threw my shuriken and kunai I wasn't aiming for you, and when I was I knew that you would dodge. I set them up perfectly for when I would use my lightning Jutsu so that you would get electrocuted." Mariah explained.

"It's over," Tadashi panted.

Akuma then looked up at the two shinobi then slowly melted into the ground back down to hell where she belonged. Tadashi and Mariah were now left alone where they collapsed to the ground panting heavily. Mariah fell to her side wanting to heal herself but she was completely out of chakra. The blood seeped through her shirt bleeding onto the ground surrounding her.

Tadashi looked over at her seeing the pain that was showing in her eyes. She was losing too much blood as was he.

"We..have to get...to the battle field." He panted.

"Hopefully we'll make it." Mariah coughed.

"We will," He said reaching for her blood covered hand.

She reached out her hand to his grasping it and squeezing it tight.

"Now, let's finally join the war."
