Several stalactites fell like spears from heaven impaling the wolf several times over.
Naruto was shocked to see over ¾ of her health drop instantly.
When the last of the stalactites fell, Sasuke jumped in, driving his chokuto into the chest of the wolf, pinning it to the ground. He then did a few very fast hand seals and took a deep breath.
"Katon: Gokakyu no jutsu!" he all but shouted as he spewed a massive fireball from his mouth into the wolf's face, killing it.
"That was stupid easy," said Naruto. He walked toward the wolf hoping to collect the loot when the wolf burst into a mist.
The mist moved by an unseen wind away from the stalactites that previously impaled it before coalescing once more, reforming the wolf.

Naruto swallowed nervously, they had killed it but it reformed with only a quarter of her health gone.
"What the hell is this thing?" cried Sakura, jumping to Sasuke's side.
Naruto joined them seeing the wolf looking very angry but not moving, simply staring them down and with each breath she seemed to spew mist that covered the ground. It was strange to see the mist spread until it covered the entire area.
"What are we standing here for, kill it!" shouted Sasuke.
Naruto ran forward first throwing kunai and shuriken, trying to get her attention on him.
However, before Naruto could get to her, she opened her maw and shots several sparks of lightning into the mist at her feet.
Naruto and his teammates where instantly halted as several volts of electricity coursed through them, the mist creating a natural conductor.
It didn't do much damage but it did stun them allowing the wolf to charge Naruto and swipe him with her giant claw sending him tumbling end over end across the hard rocky ground, doing quite a bit of damage.
She gave chase to Naruto's tumbling form but was forced back when Sasuke fired another fireball at her, not hitting but changing her course.
It gave Naruto enough time to get back to his feet and prepare to defend himself against another attack.
"Sakura, I'll try to hold her in place, try to drop another stalactite on her. Just give me enough warning to jump clear," shouted Naruto, charging at her again, throwing kunai and shuriken once more.
This time Naruto was able to get to her and slice into her snout, pissing her off but keeping her in once place.
Sasuke saw the merit in Naruto's plan and attacked her legs, trying to immobilize her.
"Get clear, now!" shouted Sakura, activating an explosive note directly above the wolf.
Sasuke stabbed his chokuto through one of her paws and into the floor pinning her once again before jumping clear just in time to avoid the rain of deadly stalactites.
The attack worked, dropping her HP to zero one more time.
And again, she turned into mist moving away from the shinobi only to reform again.

She glared at the trio again, mist began to form again.
"This time we need to jump when she electrifies the mist," said Sasuke.
Naruto nodded but he was already at work on trying to kill the bitch. He threw another kunai into the ceiling above her and activated it before she could set electricity flowing through the mist.
She was impaled once again killing her, despite the mist covering the ground still.
Naruto was unprepared for the amount of mist to increase filling the entire cavern top to bottom. He was less prepared for nearly being barbequed when electricity coursed through his entire body, not stunning him but hurting him badly. His hit points dropped dramatically.
"Shit, that didn't work so good," Naruto stuttered, wincing slightly as he said it.
"It was a good idea," said Sasuke. "We didn't know she would do that."
"Guys, I think I'm really hurt here," said Sakura softly.
Naruto looked over to her, her HP was flashing red as in almost dead. Naruto turned back to the wolf, feeling a rage flow through him like never before. This was supposed to be a good training exercise, not a near death experience.

"Sasuke, protect Sakura. This bitch is mine," said Naruto. He may have been completely calm mentally thanks to his gamer ability but emotionally it didn't change the fact that he was now really pissed off. He didn't notice his body steaming as his wounds healed. He didn't notice the slight red glow that began to encompass his being. All he saw was red.
Naruto vanished from sight only to reappear next to the wolf and punch her in the side of the head, causing her to fly into the cavern wall. Naruto vanished again, reappearing above her, his foot raised high as he dropped down slamming his heal into the top of her head.
The wolf bounced after impacting the ground, blood flying from her mouth.
Naruto spun in the air and delivered another kick, this time into the wolf's side. She sailed across the open cavern, bouncing a few times like a stone across the surface of a lake before impacting with the opposite wall.
Naruto vanished once more, reappearing above the wolf again, this time with two kunai in hand. He dropped on top of the wolf driving both kunai into her skull killing her. This time she oozed blood but did not change into mist.
Naruto huffed and puffed a few times before climbing off the corpse, the anger had vanished only to be replaced with exhaustion.
Congratulations! Your level has increased by 1.
"What was that?" asked Sasuke.
"What was what?' asked Naruto, honestly confused.
"That red glow? What was it?"
Naruto startled. "I was glowing?"
"You don't know?"
"No, I was just really angry that she hurt Sakura-chan and I got really angry," he answered honestly. But now that Sasuke said it, he did feel different for that last bit of the fight. The anger he felt was his but it seemed amplified. That made him instantly recognize it for what it was. He'd used Kyuubi's power, it was unintentional but there it was.
"You suspect though, don't you?" demanded Sasuke. "Tell me, I need power like that."
