Bab 112: Chapter 112:
Fuyōna now found himself surrounded on all sides in the heart of the enemy territory, facing off against an entire battalion of stone shinobi, all of whom wanted nothing more than the honour of killing the Kage in battle to solidify their place in the history books.
"Well, this isn't looking good," Fuyōna said to himself as he took a quick look around, seeing no end to the number of soldiers that surrounded him.
"Get him!" One of the stone shinobi captains shouted, giving the signal for them to attack with all of their might.
"ARRGGHHH!!!" They all roared as they charged toward him, readying their Jutsu, weapons, and anything else they could think of to try and kill him.
However, now that Fuyōna had tapped into some of Saikens chakra, he was more than strong enough to deal with the situation. Doing what he did best, he quickly allowed bones to protrude from all of his body, covering himself in his natural weapons and taking a low stance.
"ARRGHHHHH!!!"
The screams started as soon as Fuyōna started to move, having little concern for any of them as they came at him with killing intent. Fuyōna did the same, not holding back as he started to move around like a whirlwind of death, stabbing and cutting anyone and everyone who got too close to him, killing them by the tens over and over again as they continued to try and surround him with sheer numbers.
Long-distance weapons had also been used, in an attempt to attack him from a distance. Yet nothing worked as Fuyōna either dodged or deflected the projectiles with his rapid reflexes, proving that he was on a whole other level than the rest of them, even when fighting at 25% infused with saikens chakra to only one tail.
Next came the Jutsu, having combinations of fire and earth styles used against him, with the earth around him being turned into spikes that tried to skewer him, and fire that was unleashed from different directions in an attempt to roast him alive.
But Fuyōna was simply too fast for them, either slipping into an ice mirror or able to counter the jutsu with one of his own, once again proving just how out of their league he really was as he slapped his hand onto the ground mid handstand, using his bones to take out five stone shinobi who had charged at him, while also summoning an ice wall to block an oncoming fire jutsu.
"It's no use... He... He's a monster!" The stone captain said as he watched Fuyōna rip through another wave of his soldiers, not even breaking a sweat as he continued to flip and dance his dance of death.
With the combination of both of his kekkei Genkai, Fuyōna was next to untouchable, showing that no one could get close to him without a way to counter his bones in taijutsu. As for ninjutsu, his could combine water and wind to create his ice release, and even use lightning jutsu to enhance his attack, proving that he was a powerhouse in all regards.
"Sir! Sir!" A stone shinobi suddenly said as he landed next to his captain.
"What is it?" The captain asked, seeing the look on the young man's face.
"Sir, I have word that we need to get everyone away from the Mizukage now! Like right now sir!" The boy said, trying to stress the situation.
The captain seemed confused at first, but having seen the look on his face, he knew that he didn't have time to ask questions.
"EVERYONE GET AWAY FROM THE MIZUKAGE RIGHT NOW!!!!" The stone captain suddenly shouted as he turned around, letting his voice boom so loud that everyone suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Fuyōna also heard his words, noticing as everyone seemed to stop for only a moment before they quickly retreated away from him, leaving him standing alone, covered in the blood of their fallen comrades.
Fuyōna knew something was about to happen, the only question though was what?
Suddenly the earth around him cracked open in an attempt to drop him into the large fissure that was created, causing him to fall through the air.
"Lava style, great lava river!" A voice suddenly shouted from above, causing Fuyōna to look up to see what was happening.
A huge amount of lava was suddenly raining down from the sky, falling like a huge waterfall that covered the sky above Fuyōna's head.
"So much lava, I can't dodge it in time!" Fuyōna said as he continued to fall, almost reaching the bottom of the trench he was falling into.
Fuyōna did the natural thing and raised his fingers, creating an ice mirror beneath his feet that he simply dropped into and disappeared not a second before the lava hit and started to cover and fill the trench.
Fuyōna slipped out of his mirror on the lava's edge, looking around him for the person responsible for creating the large Jutsu, seeing the man drop from the sky as he landed on the lava, standing on it like it was water.
Fuyōna took a good look at the man, recognizing him as Roshi, the jinchūriki of the four tails as he too took a hard look at Fuyōna.
"I see you dodged my attack, most impressive," Roshi said as he looked Fuyōna up and down.
Fuyōna had to admit, that he had not expected one of the jinchūriki of the hidden stone to be fighting in the war, having thought that both of them had left the village and wouldn't want anything to do with this fight, but he had been wrong before.
"I can tell you are a strong opponent," Roshi said with a serious look on his face.
"However, I can also tell that you are holding back. And if you plan to fight me like that you don't stand a chance!" He then shouted as he started to draw the lava from the ground up and around his body, creating an outer layer of lava, like a suit of armour that was glowing around his body.
"What the hell is that?" Fuyōna said as he watched Roshi charged toward him, covered in molten lava.
Roshi charged toward Fuyōna like a train. Like a train made of molten lava that would melt and smash anything that came into contact with it.
Fuyōna quickly tried to jump back as he fired a barrage of bone bullets at Roshi to try and slow him down while he got some distance. However, the bone bullets melted as soon as they came into contact with Roshis lava armour, not slowing him down in the slightest.
"Shit, if that doesn't work then maybe something else," Fuyōna thought as Roshi was suddenly on him, having moved much faster than Fuyōna had anticipated, being granted an increase in speed from the lava.
Fuyōna let his bones rip out from his chest in an attempt to stop Roshi from being able to attack him, hoping that at maximum strength they would at least be able to do some form of damage.
The bones hit Roshi in the chest and neck, seeming to stop his advance for a moment as they held him in place, just out of reach of Fuyōna. But that only last for a second or two, as Fuyōna's bones started to quickly melt from the heat of Roshi's lava.
Fuyōna almost cried out in pain before he let the bones disconnect from his bone due to the heat travelling through them. However, the two seconds that they had bought him had been enough for him to slip into an ice mirror and vanish, watching from a distance as Roshi smashed the ice-style mirror to pieces with a powerful molten packed punch, shattering it like a piece of glass.
"You can't run forever!" Roshi shouted as he turned around to look for Fuyōna, not being able to find or sense him close by.
"His lava armour not only gives him a huge increase in defence, but it also seems to be increasing his attacking power along with his speed." Fuyōna thought as he stood well above Roshi in the sky, looking down on the battlefield from his ice mirror.
"The only way I can think of stopping his lava style is with a huge amount of water. But with my current strength, I won't be able to create enough water to stop him without an open-source... And then there is the added risk of him going into state two, or losing control." Fuyōna thought as he weighed the risks of fighting Roshi in his head.
"Still, if I don't fight him, then he will only kill more of my men and shift the battle in the stone's favour. And that is not something I can allow."
Suddenly an idea popped into Fuyōna's mind, taking in his surroundings before he smiled.
"That might work..." He said after a moment, knowing he didn't really have much choice.
With that Fuyōna simply stepped off of his mirror, dropping into the sky as he started to free-fall down towards where Roshi was standing, knowing what had to be done.
"Alright, here goes nothing! Water style, water dragon jutsu!" Fuyōna yelled as he made the hand signs, focusing his chakra as he attempted to draw all the water from the clouds around him as he fell through them, using the moisture inside of them to create a massive water dragon that formed and twisted in the air before shooting down with him, travling at great speed.
Fuyōna watched as his water dragon gained enough speed to reach next to him as they both travelled through the air together.
"Alright here we go!" Fuyōna shouted as he placed his hands together and fired off a small wind chakra blast from his mouth, allowing him to travel through the air towards his water dragon.
Fuyōna quickly gripped the dragon's head and flipped around, placing his feet onto its large head as he mounted it, remaining standing as he surfed his own jutsu, locking onto his target.
"The fifth Mizukage doesn't run from anybody!" Fuyōna yelled as he fell from the sky, getting a shocked look from all who could see him riding the water dragon's head as he headed straight for Roshi.
Roshi couldn't believe his eyes as he watched Fuyōna coming down towards him, standing atop the huge water dragon that he knew even his lava style would struggle against.
Roshi quickly started to form hand signs and slammed his hands into the ground in an attempt to counter Fuyōna's advance and defend himself.
"Lava style, molten wall jutsu!" Roshi shouted as he summoned a huge wall of lava to try and protect himself.
Fuyōna could see the wall of lava burst from the ground, knowing that it would be a close match between both of their jutsu. However, thinking on his feet Fuyōna added another twist to his jutsu, something that he was sure would give him the edge.
"Here we go, it's all or nothing with this one!" He shouted as he made the hand signs as quickly as he could only being a few seconds away from impact.
"Now! Lightning style, lightning discharge!" He yelled, supercharging his water dragon with lightning style chakra, giving it an extra burst of power that even caused its eyes to light up before it crashed into the lava wall.
The electric water dragon smashed into the lava wall, holding its own as the lightning style jutsu helped cut through the earth style, smashing through to Roshi's surprise before it hit him directly, scooping him from the ground with the dragon's large teeth.
"AGGHHRHHRHH!!!" Roshi yelled as the water dragon smashed him into the ground over and over again, washing him away with the intense pressure and current that it had created, as well as zapping him with a massive voltage of electricity, rending his lava style armour all but useless as both water and lightning style bested fire and earth style.
Every one of the stone shinobi who had been watching from a safe distance so they didn't melt continued to watch in shock at what just happened. Although Roshi had been an outcast from the village due to being a jinchūriki. He was still one of them, and he was putting his life on the line against the Mizukage, who had proved that his strength was not only a story in the bingo book, but was the real deal.
"Did he lose?" One of them asked, not being able to see if Roshi had survived the attack or not.
"I don't know, I can't see either." Another said as they all watched from the distance.
Fuyōna had landed back on the ground now, breathing a little hard now as he could feel the strain on his body after having used a large amount of chakra in the battle so far.
Still, even after all of that effort. He was still unsure if it had been enough to stop Roshi in his tracks. And although killing one of the other jinchūriki had not been on his to do list, in times of war, all of his plans began started to change.
"BOOM!"
A sudden burst of concentrated red chakra suddenly exploded from the distance where Roshi had been, sending out a huge shockwave of pressure and heat that Fuyōna could feel as it almost gave him sunburn.
"This is not looking good," Fuyōna said as he heard the roar follow soon after, watched as Roshi had entered the second form of his tailed beast transformation, clearly having lost control due to Fuyōna's last attack.
Roshi had now entered the second form of his tailed beast transformation, snarling as the water around him started evaporating at a rapid rate from the heat his body was giving off. His body had become covered in a red and black chakra cloak that took on a small form of the four tails, along with all four tails being exposed, showing that he was not playing around anymore.
Fuyōna's eyes suddenly opened wide in shock as Roshi opened his mouth, absorbing pure chakra from the air around him as he started to create a tailed beast bomb that he was about to fire.
"Oh no, I can't let this situation get any worse than it already has!" Fuyōna yelled as he slapped his hands together, doing his best to create a large ice mirror that he planned to use to absorb the tailed beast chakra blast.
"Oh shit! My chakra is too low!" Fuyōna said as his ice mirror only reached halfway, not being able to finish the jutsu as he felt his body about to give way due to the expense of chakra he had just used.
"BOOOMMMM!!!"
Roshi fired the chakra blast, bypassing Fuyōna's ice mirror and hitting straight into the middle of the war front where it exploded, taking out all who were currently fighting there, including stone, leaf and mist shinobi.
"No... Fuyōna said while covering his face to protect him from the heat that was coming off the blast, knowing that that blast would have killed everyone within the area it hit.
"This has gone far enough..." Fuyōna said after a moment as he turned around to face Roshi, who was glaring right at him.
"I wont let you kill anyone else!"
Meanwhile...
Fuyōna watched as lady Chiyo used her puppets to suck in his ice mirrors with their impressive and powerful suction jutsu, crushing anything that was pulled into it. That with the added effect of the puppet who was using its head as a chakra blade made sure that anything that was sucked in by the jutsu was completed destroyed.
"Not good... I can't afford to take it easy anymore!" He said as he quickly transported himself to another ice mirror that appeared behind the four puppets that were using the combined jutsu.
"Ice style, giant ice pillar!" Fuyōna shouted as the ground beneath their feet suddenly froze, creating a huge pillar of ice that trapped all four puppets inside of it at once, taking them out of the fight.
Chiyo was down five puppets now, leaving her with the remaining five that she used to swarm around her for a defensive formation.
"Your ice may have frozen my puppets, but each time you take one down, my control over the remaining becomes even greater!" She shouted as she used all five of them to suddenly charge towards him, each of them readying an attack and coming from a different direction to surprise him.
Fuyōna watched as time around him seemed to slow down, knowing that the tide of war was slowly shifting towards the enemy's side, the more time he spent distracted the worse it would become.
"I'm going to end this now," Fuyōna said as his body suddenly became wrapped in a chakra cloak, showing all six tails before the chakra burst, creating a huge red and black dense chakra that sent a powerful shock wave across the battlefield, knocking the puppets away from him.
Chiyo was also blasted back by the shock wave as Fuyōna powered up, using her puppets to pull back and protect her from it.
"What is that?" She said as she squinted, taking in his new transformation.
"Fuyōna, are you really going into state two so suddenly?" Saiken asked from inside his inner world.
"I'm afraid I must, Saiken. The longer I remain distracted, the more of my comrades and people die." He said, knowing what had to be done.
"I understand Fuyōna. I will do my best to keep your other clones fuelled, but will shift most of my power to you." Saiken said as it started to concentrate its chakra flow.
"Don't worry Saiken. I will make this quick."
Fuyōna let loose a mighty roar as the power of the six tails radiated off of his body, causing fear in the hearts of all those around him.
Chiyo didn't look impressed as she readied her puppets to attack, knowing that if she let Fuyōna make the first move he would do a serious amount of damage.
"I have to stop him!" She shouted, sending her puppets in, each of them using their strongest weapons and abilities as she was ready for the end game now.
However, Fuyōna had other plans, quickly using all six of his tails to attack, allowing them to extend and pierce each of the puppets with great power before he allowed acid slime to bubble out, and attach to each puppet, melting them into sludge in a matter of moments.
Chiyo was extremely shocked as she watched all of her puppets get taken down at the same time, knowing there was nothing she could do to stop his attack now.
"I can't let it end here!" She shouted as she reached into her sleeve to ready another scroll for battle.
However, Fuyōna snarled and quickly slivered over towards her at great speed, using his body like a slug as he wrapped around her, squeezing tightly.
Chiyo cried out in pain as Fuyōna's hold got tighter until he finally let the acid bubble out of his body in an attempt to melt her.
"It's over," Fuyōna said as he watched her body melt from the acid, knowing that with her out of the battle, this war would go a lot smoother.
Suddenly though, Chiyo's body burst into smoke, revealing one final puppet that she had used for a substitution jutsu, taking Fuyōna completely off guard.
"A substitution!" Fuyōna thought as he watched the puppet melt into slime in his grasp.
"I won't go down so easily!" Chiyo shouted as she suddenly appeared behind Fuyōna, thrusting her hand into his body as she hit him with a powerful palm strike.
Fuyōna was surprised by the force of her attack as it took him off of his feet, but still, he had let the acid seep out of his tailed beast body onto her hand, meaning that she would lose it for touching him.
Chiyo looked at her hand as it started to melt, smiling as she suddenly allowed it to unclip from her body with a chakra string, revelling that her arm had been a puppet arm all along.
"Sorry but that won't work on me!" She shouted as she then threw the melting puppet arm towards him with all of her might.
"This will finish it!" She shouted.
Fuyōna watched as the arm flew towards him, paying close attention as the arm began to grow in size before it turned into a large monstrous face with sharp teeth.
"Is that a sealing jutsu!" Fuyōna said in surprise as it was headed right for him, knowing that if it hit him it was game over.
"Sealing technique! Lion closing roar!" Chiyo yelled as she let the jutsu fully unleashed, giving off a mighty roar as it was about to slam right into Fuyōna's chest.
"I have to move!" Fuyōna yelled as he allowed an arm to grow from his back, quickly using it to grab onto a large boulder and pull himself towards it.
By the skin of his teeth, the sealing jutsu skimmed past him, hitting a large rock behind him where it lodged itself into the stone.
Fuyōna quickly flipped and recovered before he looked at Chiyo, seeing that she wasn't impressed that her sealing jutsu had missed, having placed her last attack into that jutsu.
"I didn't expect a sealing jutsu like that... But it's time to finish this fight." He thought as he opened his mouth and started to absorb a large amount of chakra in order to prepare a chakra blast to take her out with.
Chiyo watched as Fuyōna prepared his chakra blast, knowing that she couldn't do anything to stop it.
"Sis!" A voice suddenly shouted from the distance, revealing Chiyo's brother Ebizo.
"Ebizo! What are you doing here, we need to get away from him!" Chiyo shouted, trying to warn her brother to get clear.
Ebizo had been fighting in the larger scale battle that had been going on around them, taking out many of the mist and leaf troops before he realized his sister was in trouble. knowing that there was only one way to stop Fuyōna once he had seen what was going on.
"Here sis, give me a boost!" He shouted as he jumped into the air, heading towards the lion seal that was stuck into the wall.
Chiyo wasn't sure what he was doing at first but quickly clocked onto what he wanted her to do. With that Chiyo fired chakra strings from her remaining hand onto her brother's body, giving her control over him and allowing her to move him in ways that he was unable to move on his own at his old age.
Fuyōna watched as Ebizo grabbed the lion seal with both hands and started charging toward him, in a desperate attempt to use the seal on him and stop him from blowing them both away.
"What a fool. Once this chakra blast is fully charged, I'm going to unleash it and destroy as many of you sand shinobi as I can!" Fuyōna thought.
Ebizo continued to charge forwards, watching as Fuyōna launched his tails to counter his advance, using them in an attempt to skewer him. However, with his quick reflexes and added boost from Chiyo, he was able to flip and avoid them, dodging each of them with great skill as he continued to press forwards, only just jumping over the last tails as he got his last chance at a clear shot with the sealing jutsu.
"Throw it now!!!" Chiyo shouted, sensing that Fuyōna was about to unleash his attack.
Ebizo did as his sister shouted, throwing the sealing jutsu one last time in an attempt to seal Fuyōna away and stop the attack at the same time.
"GO!" Ebizo roared, throwing his sister's sealing jutsu, watching it fly through the air with hope as it travelled towards Fuyōna.
"Too late," Fuyōna said as he watched it fly through the air, getting so close to him he could almost feel the lion heads breath.
"DIE!!!" Fuyōna roared as he unleashed his tail's beast blast, unleashing a powerful concentrated red beam.
Fuyōna's chakra blast was so powerful that it completely ripped through the lion sealing technique, destroying it in an instant before the blast travelled towards both Chiyo and her brother, vaporizing them both in an instant before it travelled through the air and exploded into the middle of the sand shinobi ranks, causing a huge explosion and taking out at least a thousand soldiers from the blast alone.
---------------------------------------
