The entrance area near the Hidden Demon Village was completely filled with people. Many civilians wanted to see off their two rulers and wish them luck on their conquest across the 5 elemental nations with the help. Broly was leading the large group he planned to take to the Hidden Stone Village with Esumi by his side and a completely healed and rejuvenated Itachi Uchiha on his other side. Itachi had an aura of sadness around him as he had to partake in another cursed war. Being forced to go against his pacifist nature, Itachi secretly planned to overcome this strange device attached to his brain. Broly ignored this and looked at the mass of crown-wearing shinobi that were about to follow him in to taking over the war.
"Are we seriously about to go start a war with the whole world with just us?"
"If the brat says so, we're doing so. You know we don't got a choice in all this."
"Even Itachi was defeated by him…" Deidara said.
"Freedom is just a pipe dream now." Sasori replied.
"You think I'll be able to get a girlfriend during this war?"
"If a little shit like you could get a girlfriend, I should be married by the end of this war!" A slave said, prompting a bunch of other slaves to laugh with him.
"What does that mean?! I'm sure there is a perfect girl waiting for me somewhere! You'll see! This war will be the perfect opportunity for me to show off my good points."
They just started laughing even louder. Broly then looked at his people and waved. Broly put the chibi-sized Three-Tails on top of his hair and left with his army of slaves. The civilians and others cheered and wished Broly's army luck as they left the village. Broly and his army marched towards the Hidden Stone Village while giving off an aura of a band of bandits and mercenary. Despite being an actual army, they surely didn't look the part nor act like military participants. Everyone was dressed in different outfits except for the golden crown with the Hidden Demon Village's symbol etched in the middle of it. The slaves were of various ages, sizes, body types, and sexes. It was as if someone randomly grabbed many people and threw them together and called them an army.
"So after we pair up with the Tsuchikage's army, which nation are we going after first? I was personally thinking of going after the Hidden Cloud Village and getting rid of the Raikage." Esumi said.
"That is what I was thinking as well. I heard he's one of the strongest kage out of the four right now." Broly responded.
"Yea it's a toss up between him and the Tsuchikage. The other two are strong but nothing special."
"After we merge with Iwagakure's army, I'm going to have us split apart. You will take half of them with you to the Hidden Mist Village while I go after the Cloud Village with the other half."
"What are we going to do with the Tsuchikage?"
"Have him accompany the police head and his two aides in Sunagakure under a transformation jutsu."
After discussing his plans with Esumi and Itachi who was listening to the side, Broly and his army continued to walk towards their destination for 2 weeks. They ate modified food created by Jabie stored inside storage scrolls that kept the food still fresh and hot from when it was created the week before they took off. The water natured shinobi were basically water dispensers for the army when their water bottles ran out during their trek through the Land of Earth's rocky and humid climate. Sometimes though situations like this happened…
"Hey water bitch, my bottles empty. Gimme some more." A crass tall brutish looking man said to the dainty glasses-wearing water ninja.
With a turn of the head, and a sharp glare into his eyes, the man suddenly fell to his knees shivering. He tried to bow his head in forgiveness but the water ninja stomped his head into the ground.
"You disgusting, stinky, piece of garbage dare talk to this queen in such a manner? You should be glad this crown stops me from killing you."
The water ninja heard mumbling coming from the earth but couldn't understand it.
"Consider yourself lucky. Next time you ask for something of this queen, you better grovel on your knees and kiss my feet first." The Queen said.
A water shinobi eventually gave that man some water and a medic nin healed him up, but nothing of importance really happened except that guy learned to choose his battles more carefully. Another type of situation that happened regularly was Khael, Sho, and Fu being challenged by the crown wearers.
"Do you think if I beat the Councilor's apprentice, I'll be able to be his apprentice and eventually be free?" A slave asked.
"That makes perfect sense. I don't see why that plan wouldn't work out. Go on and try it. I'll watch from back here and watch your great success." The glasses wearing slave said with a straight face.
So, the first slave did as he said he would and challenged Khael.
"Fight me! I'll show you who truly deserves to be the under Councilor Hakuseki."
Khael looked at the slave with pity in her eyes. Slightly sadden about his fate and future since he was caught by her master's device. Although to others, it looked as if she was looking down upon the slave and thought he was as worthless as a bug compared to her. The other slaves started cheering on the fight and circled around the two, prompting a slight break in their travels. Broly and Esumi allowed it due to Khael being involved.
Khael really didn't want to fight with the pitiful fellow but felt as if her master would disapprove of her refusing to battle here. She couldn't make her master disappointed. So, she buckled up and stood off against the challenger.
"Still looking down on me huh? That'll be your first mistake!" The boy said as he shoved his mouth hands into his pockets to munch on some fire?
Khael decided to end this quickly. Prolonging the embarrassment of this boy wouldn't the best. The boy's hands finished chewing the fire and spat out 5 human-shaped fires that fit neatly on his palm. He threw them in the air and with a hand seal caused them to grow into the size of an adult man. They took places around the boy.
"Get her, my creatures of the inferno!"
3 of the flame men flew towards Khael who seemed to have a brand-new physical addition on her face. Her left eye started to spin as she easily dodged the flame men's attack and dashed towards the boy. The boy was slightly startled she managed to get past his creations so easily, but didn't lose himself. He had his two other fire creations start shooting fire at the incoming Khael. With the slightest of movements, she dodged the flames without even a single part of her cloak getting singed. She appeared in front of the boy, grabbed his shirt and slammed him into the ground. The wind was knocked out of the boy's lungs and his eyes bulged. Khael stood over the stunned boy and with a bone sword pointed towards his throat.
She didn't say anything but everyone knew exactly what she was saying.
"Pathetic. Someone as weak as you believes they can stand up to me? Be glad I'm sparing your life. Even someone with your strength could be useful as a meat shield."
The boy gave up and was forced to be taunted by the others for the rest of the journey. They wouldn't let him live it down, especially his glasses friend. Khael said nothing about the battle even when questioned about it by others. She just kept her eyes forward and journeyed along her master. Sho just knew he would be challenged next. He definitely looked the least intimidating out of his friends. And he knew if he tried to refuse his master would beat the mess out of him for being so cowardly.
'I'm not a coward! I just don't like unnecessary fighting. Or fighting in general. I'm more of a peaceful guy. I don't want to hurt anybody.' Sho thought before a hand touched his shoulder.
He slowly turned his head and prayed that it wasn't someone that wanted to fight and in a sense he was right. His master's devious smiling face was the one that greeted him. Sho already knew what she was thinking, and she already knew that he knew what she was thinking. He cried inwardly while sighing outwardly.
"Sike!" Esumi said with a teasing face.
Esumi thumped Sho's head in jest as the army continued forth. Khael and Sho wondered why no one challenged Fu though. She just had her usual happy-go-lucky face and attitude while they walked.
"They know that she's the Seven-Tailed." Broly stated to the curious youngins.
This cleared Khael's and Sho's confusion right up and the army could see the Hidden Stone Village. The slaves were starting to get excited due to Jabie's words and Broly's confirmation that depending on their merits, they could gain their freedom from the cursed crown and do whatever they want. Their battle lust and spirit started to rise but Esumi quickly doused it.
"Not yet you all. These guys are our "buddies" for now. We're going to merge up with their army and then set off for the actual war. This stop is just to give us an easier time during the war." Esumi explained.
The Tsuchikage welcomed Broly and his army in his village. He already had his shinobi ready to go. However Broly's army could see the confusion on the Iwa-nin's faces about why they were preparing for war and allying themselves with this upstart ninja village. The Iwa-nin looked down on Broly's army but followed orders from their Tsuchikage. Broly's army split into two and Broly and Esumi split. The Tsuchikage told his people he'll follow along with them to take part in this war. His aides tried to dissuade him, but he refused adamantly as he already told them after his speech before Broly's army came. Broly had one of his slaves that took up the Yamanaka clan's secret jutsu to communicate between him and the other half of his army. And finally, after one day and with a bright and sunny sun shining down. The war could officially start. With Broly's army of 1,100 and Tsuchikage's even larger number of shinobi, they set off.
Broly's army now split between the slaves and Iwa-nin headed towards the Hidden Mist Village. Esumi's army along with Itachi headed towards the Hidden Cloud Village. Broly's slaves didn't like how the stone village's ninja were looking at them. They were tempted to start beating the living hell out of them now but were warned by Broly's glare. But something about that glare told them that they'll get their chance. The wicked smiles on some of their faces creeped out the stone shinobi who wanted nothing more to do with these savages and get this war over quickly.
*WITH ESUMI'S SIDE*
Esumi's group marched on towards the Hidden Cloud Village and after a long trekking journey finally reached miles of Kumogakure. Esumi saw with her Byakugan, the prepared forces of enemy shinobi.
"I don't remember us ever announcing that we were going to invade Kumogakure.. Why do they have their entire army prepared for us?" Esumi asked to no one in particular.
"You don't seriously think you can just march an army for days without anyone knowing do you?" An Iwa commander stated.
"Well I guess it makes sense when you put it like that. Try not to die in this battle smart ass." Esumi giggled.
Esumi then contacted Suna and it seems his side experienced the same thing.
'My plans have already gone to shit. I had such fun ideas to destroy this village too! But I guess that will have to wait till after this…'
"Alright boys, get ready to follow the greatest kunoichi in the world, Yada Esumi, and watch as she makes her name known all across the world! You will get to share in this moment along with me. Get ready to tear these pieces of shit apart and destroy everything they stand for and love! I want this entire landscape completed destroyed by the time this battle is over!" Esumi shouted in her teenaged high-pitched girly voice.
Normally one would laugh at such a little girl's statement, which the Iwa-nin did do, but the slaves however were overcome with bloodlust and fighting spirit. The look in their eyes seemed to turn demonic. As if they were no more than mindless beasts now intent on ravaging these lands and those who stand in their way. Some of the cloud ninjas swear they saw an image of a terrifying demon whose greed and cruelty couldn't be matched nor contained hovering above the army of the Hidden Demon Village. The slaves waited eagerly on Esumi's orders as if they couldn't stand it anymore.
"Tear them into pieces!!" Esumi shouted while pointing her Samehada forth.
The slaves charged ahead with complete disregard for their safety and any sort of self-restraint. Of course, not all of the slaves lost their minds. The stronger-willed individuals ran along with the slaves while keeping their head cool. The Iwa-nin were confused at this completely reckless plan but nevertheless ran along with the people they considered nothing more than beasts in human skin.
*RAIKAGE'S SIDE*
"That stubborn fool dares to start a war with me? I'll make him regret even staying alive this long." The Raikage said.
"Something about this seems strange.. Ōnoki doesn't seem the type to be so brash." One of the hokage aides said.
"You're right. Something is suspicious about this invasion. But it doesn't matter now that there is an army right at my front door."
"Did Ōnoki get some help from mercenaries? Why are they dressed differently?" The second aide asked.
"Are they starting without even talking? And are they just running in headfirst? Is this a trick? What should we do Boss?"
"Looking down on my men huh?! Meet em headfirst and kill them all!" The Raikage ordered as his shinobi moved out to meet with Esumi's army.
*ESUMI'S SIDE*
Sho was forced into charging with the rest of the army by his master. Esumi stayed back and waited till the Raikage interfered. Although she would love to go loose just like them, but she's sure that there are rules that say the leaders shouldn't participate until the end or when things get bad. She has enough sense to realize that much at least and so she watched as the Raikage copied her strategy and had his soldiers meet headfirst with hers. She grinned and whispered into the ninja whose responsible for transmitting her orders across and all of a sudden, the slave's who had lost their senses sobered up and reformed their charge. A wide poof of smoke appeared at the head of Esumi's army charge and clones shot toward the Raikage's army. The Kumo nin easily dispelled the clones and tried to continue their charge but those clones weren't normal clones!
Sho watched as the clones of the slaves exploded into various different elemental explosions. There were frozen and half frozen people, burning and burnt people, electrocuted, sliced apart and cut people, people who were coated in tiny metallic material and captured by those who could use magnet release, and even people who were blasted apart by normal paper bombs attached to the clone.
'So much blood and death…. And the war just started….' Sho thought before sighing and dodging an incoming blown off arm flying towards his direction at dangerous speeds.
'The Byakugan is really nice to have… I can see basically everything on the battlefield.. I'm sure my master is doing the same thing as well.. I can't slack off…' Sho thought before engaging an enemy ninja.
A dark-skinned white haired lazy looking fellow slashed towards him with a broad and fairly long sword, sort of similar to one of his master's blade. Sho kicked upward and clashed with the blade. A power struggle happened between them and Sho started to lose.
"Release." Sho stated as his chakra and physical strength increased greatly.
He quickly began to overpower the shinobi until Sho saw him trying to infuse lightning chakra into his blade. Within seconds of seeing the shinobi switch to using lightning chakra, Sho infused his foot in fire chakra. Sho could see the confusion on his opponent's face before he pushed his foot away and retreated a few feet away. Sho used this small moment of freedom to draw on his scroll and produce two giant cartoonish pandas that towered over him and stared down his enemy. His opponent retreated away and started to battle elsewhere. Sho started to draw more and more cartoonish figures and such while being protected in a circular formation by his drawings. His drawings added to Esumi's army.
But suddenly Sho noticed a mass of smoke appearing on the battlefield and at least 100 puppets appearing in the air. He had a brilliant idea about how he could help win this war with the least amount of blood on his hands. But before he could put his plan into motion, a sudden sword strike from above interrupted him. His creations were blocking all around him, but not above him. Sho dodged the attack barely and watched as the shinobi who tried to attack him get instantly surrounded by his Giant Pandas. The shinobi cursed as his sneak attack failed and tried to escape but a cartoonish snake roped around his legs and bit down. Causing him to yelp in pain and slice the snake apart, but not before being grabbed by one of the pandas and being slammed into the ground. The panda then proceeded to sit on him and the others reformed the circular guard around Sho.
"That brat is still too soft. You should've made your little bears tear that guy apart!" Esumi said to herself.
Sho ignited himself in tailed beast chakra and gained a coat of mostly red and black chakra coat. He grew 7 chakra tails and started to scribble intensely upon his scroll. A sea of cartoonish drawings of armor, weapons, explosive tags, and more tools were flying towards Esumi's army. The armor latched onto any friendly allies it could. Sasori's 100 puppets jutsu was even more dangerous now due to the armor being semi sentient. Esumi looked at her apprentice in wonder and pride. She quickly informed her army to take whatever they wanted from the flying items and that they were not an enemies' technique.
Due to Sho's Byakugan, he could see exactly where his creations went and somewhat control them. But this technique heavily drains upon Sho's chakra and mental fatigue. He won't be able to last more than 3 minutes using this technique. The opposing army quickly figured out where the source of these strange items were coming from and headed towards there as quickly as possible. But how could Esumi let those weaklings interrupt her apprentice's time to shine? She ordered her army to protect Sho as he continued to support the army with his creations. Sasori appeared in front of Sho and defended him with his army of red puppets cloaked in defensive equipment and Sasori's special poison. More and more slaves came to his protection for three minutes until the chakra cloak around Sho burst apart. Sho soon fell unconscious with blood leaking from his nose. One slave that used medical ninjutsu sent in a clone to grab Sho and bring him from the battlefield. After they placed him in a safe location, they started to heal him.
*DIFFERENT POV*
'I still can't believe I got captured back then by some crazy monstrous children. Now I'm fighting in this bloody war and fighting for my life just to gain back my freedom.'
I saw an enemy shinobi attempt to cut down the puppets who were giving the rest of us a breather. The puppet and him dueled fiercely until I decided to intervene. I casted a nearly unnoticeable genjutsu on the bloody idiot and watched as his head was sliced clean off by the puppet. For a second there, I could swear that puppet was looking at me in gratitude. The puppet then flew off to slaughter more humans and I was being double teamed by two cloud nin. My specialty isn't in direct combat. I'm going to need some help dealing with these two, but I saw no allies in sight that could help me. Fucking hell…
As I continued to try and flee from the two who seemed hellbent on tearing my asshole open, I suffered terrible cuts and injuries from their attacks. I was on my last legs, as they stared me down. My legs were shaking and my left arm was useless.
"You fucking bastards won't stop will you… Fine. I don't have a choice anymore do i.."
I grabbed the clear water bottle attached to my waist and took a nice long swig. The two fuckers looked at me in ridicule. After I took my drink, they charged me down and attacked. I smiled even with my barely functioning legs and dead left arm. I raised my hand and shot forward a wave of chakra. The two shinobi were blasted far away and crashed into their own allies before appearing dead far away from me.
"Pushing me this far…. Death was too sweet for you fucks…."
I soon lost myself to blackness.
*BACK TO NORMAL*
Sho's creations did not disperse when he blacked out. However, they could only last for a single blow now instead of recreating once attacked. Esumi's army took full advantage of Sho's drawings and for the three minutes before Sho blacked out and wiped out a large number of opposing enemies. The Raikage cared for these losing numbers but managed to see the tailed beast chakra used by the boy.
"That old fool would dare send a Jinchūriki in a war? Hmph. You aren't the only holder of a Jinchūriki old man. Get Bee and send him out." The Raikage ordered.
A few moments later Esumi saw a strong chakra being introduced to the battlefield. A strange looking multi-sword wielding guy talking to the Raikage in a relaxed or normal manner. He then dashed into the massive cluster of fighting shinobi and started to easily tear them apart. Esumi saw them losing more and more slaves, so she called for her support. Itachi Uchiha. Itachi dashed off towards the new combatant and met face to face with him.
"I'm going to end this quickly, to put an end to this war faster. I'm sorry." Itachi said as his eyes spun into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
He ignored the ramblings of his opponent and activated Tsukuyomi.
Comment/Review on the story readers and give me ideas on possible things you want (story wise, maybe an OC (short term), or jutsus, missions, special items/techniques scenarios) No guarantees that I will add what you want. But it helps to have ideas out there.
Please point out any mistakes you notice or anything you're not clear about. I'll try to answer them and fix them to the best of my abilities.
Only one second passed and everyone watched as the Cloud's Jinchūriki fell to his knees while sweating rapidly. Itachi heard him blabber some more before dropping unconscious. Itachi was walking away from the battle until he heard Esumi force a command in his head using the slave that could use techniques similar to the Yamanaka clan from the Leaf.
Use Amaterasu.
Itachi's eyes spun and a black flame appeared on the Jinchūriki's arm. He didn't know why she ordered him to do this, but it wasn't as if he could refuse her. The soldiers around Itachi didn't know why he tried to stomp on a fallen man already and some of them looked at him with disdain and disgust at his behavior. Itachi could try to explain himself, but it doesn't matter what they think of him. He just needed to make this war end as quickly as possible. He turned around to face the rest of the cloud shinobi and prepared to take out to take them out as well.
Esumi saw the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki's arm fall off and the red bubbly chakra coat over him slowly. His body then started to transform into the complete Eight-Tails slowly, but at the same time extremely fast. One moment he was seemingly dead on the ground and the next he was a giant octopus-bull monster. Esumi really wanted to get involved now. A perpetual crazed grin shined on her face that terrified the communicator slave next to her. She controlled herself somewhat and gave new orders.
Finish Him. Do it right this time Handsome-baka.
The battlefield once again separated and stopped in preparation between round two of these two fighters. The Eight-Tails roared and slammed down on Itachi's figure. Everyone watched anxiously at the outcome between these two vastly different fighters. A yellow chakra aura formed over Itachi and blocked the tentacle strike. The chakra aura soon formed into a yellow skeleton and then into an armored figure with a shield on its left arm and a gourd on its right. The Eight-Tails attacked with his tentacles as Itachi's Susanoo readied itself for an attack. It's gourd shot out a liquid inside a jar that shaped into a sword and sliced off the Eight-Tail's tentacles before they reached. He yelled in pain and started to create a strange spherical chakra in front of his mouth. It was being created with very dense and powerful chakra.
Esumi watched as the handsome looking idiot watched his enemy charge his powerful attack. She immediately ordered him to seal the octocow away now. Itachi's actions left his control as he stabbed towards the Eight-Tails's chest. But instead of the Eight-Tails being sucked and sealed inside Itachi's gourd. Esumi saw a small figure coated in lightning chakra knocking the Eight-Tails out the way. Esumi figured the Raikage recognized something strange about Itachi's blade.
"Hehehehe." Esumi giggled like a crazed school girl.
"Its my time to join in on the fun! Raikage!! Here I come!!!" Esumi shouted with chakra.
Her voice reverberated across the battlefield. Everyone stopped and looked at the source of the voice. And before they could even blink, she appeared right in the middle of the battlefield along with them. She stared the Raikage in the eye with her hidden Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and Byakugan.
"Hey that jutsu is just like mine! Did you steal from the greatest kunoichi in the world at your age?! You should be ashamed old man!" Esumi berated.
The look on the Raikage's face was nothing but confusion and anger.
"Is this some kind of a sick joke…? A mockery of me and my shinobi….? Ōnoki if you don't get your old cowardly stubborn tail out here, I'm going to destroy your entire village in retaliation for this humiliation!" The Raikage shouted.
"Hey Sparky. The Tsuchikage isn't here at the moment, but I can take a message for him after I take your dead body to him." Esumi teased.
The Raikage disappeared and appeared in front of Esumi, preparing to punch her right in the face. Esumi kicked his fist and clashed in a contest of strength with the Raikage. She quickly got overwhelmed though despite her massive strength.
"Release." She muttered and the battle of strengths between fighters evened out.
"Wow! You're strong as hell old man! I guess you don't make it this far in age as a shinobi without something special backing you up huh. But I hope you got more than just this crazy strength and speed of yours." Esumi said while she was going back and forth with the Raikage in strength.
"Little presumptuous brat. Keep messing around and you'll end up 6 feet under."
The Raikage's hair started to stick up more and more before standing completely straight up. His power increased even more and had Esumi smiling even more dangerously.
"Hey old man. Did you know that lightning is much more wonderful than just thunder and lightning? Watch this."
Esumi started weaving signs and the lightning aura around the Raikage started to get absorbed into Esumi.
"What the?!" The Raikage exclaimed before retreating away.
Esumi laughed as she played with the Raikage lightning chakra and then swallowing it. She licked her lips indecently before smiling at the Raikage like a tiger staring down a bunny. The Raikage wouldn't get flustered over his lightning getting absorbed though. He would just have to strike faster and harder. And so he did.
He vanished once more and attacked Esumi multiple times over. Esumi countered with her own kicks and each clash between them only strengthen Esumi's strength more. She absorbed so much of the Raikage's lightning chakra that her skin was practically crackling with yellow lightning.
"You can take my lightning chakra and convert it into your own.." The Raikage muttered.
"I wanted a fight Sparky. If you keep this up, I'm going to be very upset with you."
The Raikage's hair wasn't as spiky as it was at the start of the fight and seemed slightly messy as his chakra was slightly drained. But at the same time, it wasn't as if he suffered any injuries from Esumi. The soldiers noticed at this time that this little girl was actually giving the Raikage a run for his money. The slaves started to get rowdy themselves.
"KICK HIS ASS!"
"TEAR HIS ARMS OFF!"
"FINISH HIM NOW WHILE HE'S TIRED! HIS OLD ASS WON'T BE ABLE TO GET A SECOND WIND."
The cloud shinobi were slightly worried and started to get antsy. Some of Esumi's army felt as if they might dive in to save their Raikage at a moments notice. They actually got excited at this prospect. They would be able to continue their release of desires upon the cloud nin without interruption.
"Hey Sparky if you want a break I can give you one. But it'll only cost you this much…" Esumi said while pinching her fingers.
"Give me the Eight-Tails and surrender to the Hidden Demon Village. If you do that much I can give you a 5 minute break before we continue fighting."
The Raikage nearly spat out blood in fury.
"Little girl do not toy with me!"
His lightning chakra spiked in intensity as he combated against Esumi once more. Esumi, however, decided to stop playing around and take out her main weapon. Samehada. She shredded the Fourth Raikage's lightning aura apart after each move he made. He didn't stop after his lightning chakra aura was gone though. He turned around and chopped towards Esumi's neck.
"Bakaaa.. You should've gotten rid of the lightning when you saw I could steal it."
An electrical field expanded from Esumi's figure and blocked the attack. The yellow lightning bubble slowly expanded until it formed completely over Esumi who started to hover in the air. The Raikage stared at the terribly strong little girl.
'Maybe I should have stopped using my lightning technique.' He thought before suddenly receiving an influx of chakra.
He recognized this chakra…. It was his brother.. B!
"Jinchūriki-kun. Now you know this was an honorable 1 on 1 battle. Now I'm going to have to punish everyone equally now that it's come to this. Army go wild!!!!" Esumi ordered as the Raikage and a miniature Eight-Tails stood side by side.
The Eight-Tails was just 3 or 5 feet taller than the Raikage instead of being tall enough where every soldier on the field could see where he was.
The slaves acted as if they were let loose from their cages and went on a rampage. Esumi flew towards the Raikage and Jinchūriki with her swift-natured chakra coursing through her body and Samehada in hand. Esumi thought to herself where that peace-loving idiot Itachi was before seeing him take out some cloud ninja non-fatally. She shook her head while slashing Samehada at the Jinchūriki. The Jinchūriki slammed down with his tentacles. Esumi's blade shredded through the tentacles and grew larger in response to the tailed beast chakra. The Raikage weaved through some signs and attacked with an earth dragon from the ground. Esumi flew around it and was greeted with the sight of the Raikage's fist and the Eight-Tails charging a large dense chakra sphere.
'I don't think this cute shark sword of mine could absorb that much chakra hehe.'
Esumi dodged the non-lightning using Raikage and kneed him in the chest. She tried to slash through his flesh with her sword but she saw a shinobi try and sneak attack her from behind.
'Darui?!' The Raikage thought in shock.
Darui chopped down at Esumi from above with his cleaver sword. Esumi who didn't even look back only smiled at the Raikage.
"Amaterasu." Esumi said happily.
A black flame appeared on her attacker's outfit and rapidly spread until it engulfed him in black flames as he shouted in agony. The Raikage tried to rush in and help his right-hand-man but Esumi took advantage of his desperation. She used Samehada to bite into his chest and repeatedly chomp down. The teeth of the blade managed to bite through his defenses. He shouted in agony as Darui was being burned into ashes. The Raikage gripped Samehada and tried to rip it off but the blade continued to chew and chew until the Eight-Tails transformed back into his Jinchūriki form and appeared above Esumi in his version 2 chakra mode. He struck down and forced Esumi to release the fatally injured Raikage.
A blonde-haired shinobi appeared next to the Raikage and attempted to heal him using medical ninjutsu. Esumi lost her Samehada momentarily and was combatting with Jinchūriki who seemed very angry at her right now.
"You're even stronger than Sparky over there Octocow-kun. You might be more fun than he is you know." Esumi chatted while taking out two jet-black steel tonfas.
Esumi deflected the claw attack of the Jinchūriki and uppercutted him with her tonfa and launched him further in the air with an electrically charged kick to the gut. He was sent soaring high in the sky and Esumi blasted off after him. The Jinchūriki spat some ink at the incoming Esumi and managed to blind her momentarily.
"Ah! You got it in my hair!!! You fucking asshole!" Esumi shouted as the Eight-Tails shot a miniature tailed beast bomb at Esumi.
With an angry look on her face, Esumi maneuvered around the tailed beast bomb and let it crash towards the ground while she nearly instantaneous switched from her black tonfas to her Executioner's blade (Zabuza's sword) and coated it in lightning chakra. The blade vibrated intensely as she cut towards the Jinchūriki's neck. But alas, it wasn't enough to slice through the dense chakra armor of a Jinchūriki. So, she did the next best thing.
Her blade had a blue aura coated over the yellow electricity running through her weapon. Her blade started to absorb the Eight-Tails's chakra and transfer it to Esumi. The Jinchūriki noticed what Esumi was doing and ejected a chakra claw from his chest and pushed Esumi away. Esumi levitated in the air and watched the Eight-Tails fall. She made eye contact with him and trapped him in a sharingan genjutsu.
Before Esumi managed to lock the Eight-Tails in a genjutsu, Itachi blocked the tailed beast bomb he shot earlier and had it explode in the air before it could reach the ground. Although the participants in this war didn't verbally say anything, they all appreciated his help. Sasori decided to finish up the Fourth Raikage while he was being healed. His puppets swarmed and attacked the medical ninja healing the Raikage. It seemed as if he was deciding whether or not to continue healing the Raikage, but stood his ground and momentarily combatted against Sasori's puppets. But his combat skills were lacking compared to most. Sasori's puppets overwhelmed him and sliced him into pieces. Sasori sent his puppets after the heavily wounded Raikage.
The Raikage sparked with lightning chakra and smashed Sasori's puppet.
"I guess I'll have to thank that girl. If I never learned this jutsu, I wouldn't be able to get past his defenses.." Sasori said to himself.
Sasori's body took on a blue coating and it stretched to all of his chakra strings and into his puppets. Their weapons took on the blue aura and started to steal away the Raikage's chakra with each passing swipe from the sea of red puppets. The Raikage was overcome by the puppet's eventually. His eye was slashed across, he lost an arm, he was stabbed in multiple places in his torso and stomach, and poisoned all together.
"I guess this part of the war is finished…" Sasori said.
He turned around to see the others watching him finish the Raikage off. The Cloud nin were devasted at the fact that their Raikage and his closest aides were not enough to defeat the Stone army. Even though they outnumbered Esumi's army, they surrendered once the Raikage….
Got up!? The Raikage looked at Sasori with his one eye, blurring and disorientating. He sparked lighting on a single finger of his before pointing it at Sasori and clumsily staggering towards Sasori. This reinvigorated the Cloud shinobi. They saw as their hokage refused to give in and lose to his opponents. He would only rest with his final breath and so would they. They attacked Esumi's army with refueled intensity and focusing especially on Sasori's puppets and Sasori himself. The slaves all had a change in aura. Jinchūriki chakra cloaks formed on their person.
"Impossible…. How did you….."
"It's all over for us…. They still had a trump card hiding from us….."
"I won't give…. Up…." A cloud nin said as he tried to stab a slave who had the chakra cloud around his body. The slave smiled viciously before grabbing the guy's face and stabbing through his chest with his hand.
The cloud nin were forced to surrender or to face the punishment of whichever slave got to them first. Itachi sighed as he saw the tied up cloud nin. He looked at the sky and wondered how his brother was doing.. He hoped he isn't trying to save him and is just living his life… Sasori desummoned his puppets and grabbed the Raikage body. He stored it away in a scroll and this caused the cloud nin to nearly erupt once more. But with a single stare of Itachi's sharingan, they were silenced.
*IN ESUMI'S GENJUTSU*
Esumi managed to get inside the Eight-Tails's mind. She saw both the beast and its holder together staring at her. She captured the beast in a genjutsu with her sharingan and captured the holder. The Eight-Tail's eyes turned into sharingan.
"That takes care of that dumb animal. No more healing for you Mr.Rapper."
And the genjutsu broke. Esumi suppressed the tailed beast with her eternal sharingan and crushed the Jinchūriki's wind pipe with her fragile and delicate looking hand. She couldn't have him dead though. So she had a medical nin watch over him after she drained him of his chakra.
"Alright! Good work guys! I'm proud most of you didn't lose your life in this first fight. Now go do whatever you want to their village and people inside. Consider it a reward for our first victory in this war." Esumi said as the slaves went wild like a pack of animals and into the Hidden Cloud Village.
Some stayed behind and didn't bother going. Most of the Iwa nin who came along stayed behind too. But some were influenced by the slaves and decided to let loose as well.
"You'd think they'd be tired after fighting for the entire day. I guess whatever Jabie's pumped them full of is working.." Esumi said to her apprentice.
"I know I'm tired.. I never want to use that much chakra again.." Sho said with a yawn.
"We'll be taking a rest for the next couple of days to get these guys sent to our village as extra manpower. I've captured the Eight-tails.. The Raikage is dead.. I suppose I'll have to get in contact with Suna and check on Skelly-chan to see if he's captured the Hidden Sand Village yet."
"After news of us destroying Kumogakure gets out, the entire world will be against us you know…" Sho commented.
"It'll be fine my little cute apprentice." Esumi said as she rested her chest on his head.
Sho's cheeks turned bright red, but his attitude did not change.
"I still don't know how you're going to convince your old village when they find out it was you, Aomatsuna-san, and Jabie-san that started all this."
"What they don't know won't hurt them. Especially with all the methods we have. Power can be used in many different ways Sho-chan. There is always a way with the right amount of strength."
"But why do you three always choose methods like these?" Sho asked.
Esumi smiled at Sho, but he couldn't see it due to her being behind him and using him as a resting board for her chest.
"Do you really wanna know why me, Suna, and Jabie always choose methods like these?"
"Yea. I just don't understand why you would want to cause all this destruction when there are more peaceful and non-destructive ways of going about things."
"Well too bad ya little brat! Maybe I'll tell you when you start growing some hair on ya balls." Esumi giggled and started walking towards the prisoners.
Sho just sighed at his master's avoidance but swore one day to get her to open up to him. Even if he has to force her to get the answers he wants. So Esumi's army took a three-day rest and Esumi sent the Iwa-nin to escort the prisoners back to the Hidden Demon Village along with the Two-Tails and a modified crown-wearing Suigetsu. Itachi, Esumi, Sasori, Sho, and the rest of the slaves headed towards Sunagakure. Esumi received a message back from Suna about checking on the situation in Suna before taking over Iwagakure. They planned to ambush the Iwa-nin back at the village with Jabie and capture them along with the Kumo ninja. The Tsuchikage will be ambushed as well at Sunagakure ever since Esumi sent him along with the police chief and his two aides.
