Capítulo 1435: 26
Naruto: Shifts in Life
Chapter 26: Kage Level Battles
Orochimaru looked in anger at the two ninja that had appeared from the sealing scrolls. Truth be told he had not even expected the pair to help, they were under no obligation to assist Konoha and Kumo had been with Konoha for a long time. That had been part of the reason he had continued with his plan to attack regardless.
Now his two greatest tools would be taken away to battle against The Raikage and his younger brother. A most frustrating turn of events as it meant the mental warfare he had planned on his sensei was no longer valid and he had lost two powerful shinobi to help him. It still did not mean anything to him however. His plans remained unchanged and he was sure that this battle would still be his in the end.
"I did not expect the Yondaime Raikage to actually come to your aid sensei," Orochimaru said in amusement. "Still, this changes nothing; the Leaf village will burn by the end of this battle."
"I think you are overestimating your chances Orochimaru," Sarutobi shot back.
"The old monkey is right yo, this battle is no longer in your favor since me and big bro have come onto this show!"
A sighed at his brother's rap and resisted the urge to face palm, thankfully having been dealing with it as long as he had, A was able to ignore it, "I believe my brother is right. This battle will no longer be as easy as you think."
"Kukuku, perhaps," Orochimaru chortled. "Though I am curious…you are not allies with Konoha, so why side with them in this fight? You would greatly benefit from its destruction."
The Raikage shook his head, "That's only a possibility; their destruction does not guarantee my village more missions. In any case, when I heard I would get to get rid of a certain snake; one who has caused quite an uproar in my village when he had his right hand man kidnap several children with Kekkei Genkai from Kumo, I was more than happy to help him in this battle."
"I see, I suppose you would still be upset by that," Orochimaru hummed, not seeming to be bothered with admitting he to the particular atrocity he had committed. "Well, it doesn't matter in the end."
"Hokage-san, I will take on the Shodai, since I get the feeling you wish to battle your old student," The Raikage said.
"Thank you Raikage-san." Sarutobi replied, "You are correct; I so wish to finish what I started so many years ago."
"Yo yo yo, the Shodai is the man in red, or am I getting mixed up with the two who are dead?" asked Kirabi.
"No, you are correct," Sarutobi did his best to ignore the man's raps by imagining it was no different from the times when Naruto would say Dattebayo.
"Then I guess that means I get the one in blue, he looks like he would be fun to fight to."
"Let's just get this battle started," The Raikage commented as he saw the two former Hokage's charging in.
He and Kirabi immediately leapt in front of the pair and with a twin shout of 'Lariat!' kicked two of the strongest ninja ever produced in the village away. As they ran after the pair of reanimated Kages, Sarutobi continued glaring at his former student.
Sarutobi watched the pair move off to fight his two former senseis. He was now very glad he had decided to tell the Yondaime Raikage about Orochimaru's planned invasion. A had refused to tell him why he had agreed to help Sarutobi in this fight, but hearing about what his former student had done made him realize it was a matter of village security. It disgusted and pleased him at the same time that Orochimaru had managed to get on A's bad side or he would have been forced to face his former teachers and friends. He knew that his age was catching up with him, the fact that his battle with his former student had lasted as long as it had was proof enough. Had it been even a few years prior, Sarutobi would have been able to kill his former student with only minor troubles.
"I am curious Orochimaru. What do you hope to gain in attacking Konoha after all this time?" asked Sarutobi, hoping to get more information out the Snake Sannin and stall him.
"Hmmm…" Orochimaru hummed as a smirk adorned his face. "I suppose I could tell you. The reason I postponed this village's destruction is really quite simple. I wanted something that would help me accomplish my ambitions of learning every jutsu in the world. What I want are the eyes that can turn even the great Kyuubi No Kitsune into nothing more than an obedient pet. The eyes that will allow me to copy jutsu with a single glance that can break the will of others with by merely looking at them, that can bring forth black flames that will burn for seven days without end."
"So, you want Uchiha Sasuke then," Sarutobi had already suspected this. Naruto had mentioned it during the debriefing and Jiraiya had agreed that it was what the snake would want.
"Yes." Orochimaru said with a hiss, "I want the boy with the Sharingan. He will be a great asset to me as my next host."
Sarutobi frowned as a bad feeling came over him, "Next host?"
"Kukuku." Orochimaru laughed as he reached a hand to his face in a manner similar to what he had done in the Forest of Death and when he had pulled away his Kazekage disguise. He peeled away the flesh of his skin to reveal what lay underneath, causing Sarutobi to gasp.
"W-What is this!" Sarutobi shouted in horror and disgust, "Who are you!"
"Kukuku." Came the now feminine laugh. The person standing before him no longer looked like his former student. Instead it was a woman, though her skin was as pale as Orochimaru's and she still contained yellow eyes and that unnaturally long tongue. However everything else about this person was different. The woman gave Sarutobi a sick grin, "Why don't you recognize me sensei? It's me, Orochimaru."
"You!" Sarutobi growled out in anger at seeing how far his student had now stooped to. "To have fallen so low, you're a fiend Orochimaru!"
"Kukuku, do not be so angry sensei. That look really doesn't suit you." Orochimaru chortled, "You are old sensei, and just by looking at you I can see that age has caught up to you. We both know, had you been younger; you might have been able to defeat me. Age has made you weak. But I…I have gained the power of immortality. No sacrifice is too small for that power. I will never end up like you. Too weak and fragile to stand up against those I should have beaten."
Sarutobi shook in a mixture of rage, regret and sorrow. To see his prized student fall so low, all for the desire of gaining immortality. This man was no longer worthy of being called his student. He was now a monster, someone who held no remorse or regret for the deaths he had needlessly caused in his quest for immortality.
What made it worse was that Sarutobi knew he could have ended this man years ago, when he had first found out about his student's experiments on the people of Konoha. However he had let his love for his student get in the way of the decision he could have made, the one he should have made. There were only a few things he had ever come to truly regret in his life. The first was how he had been unable to give Naruto the life he should have had for bearing the burden of the Kyuubi. The second was not being able to help Minato and Kushina when they had decided to make their son a Jinchuuriki, not being able to sacrifice his own life so that they could have raised Naruto as he should have been.
And the third was standing right in front of him. However he would no longer run away from this decision. Today, he would either end his foolish former student, or die in the attempt.
"Orochimaru!" Sarutobi snarled as he bit his thumb, smearing the blood along his other hand and beginning a sequence of hand seals. "It was a mistake to let you live all those years ago. However today, I will rectify that mistake. This is the day I end your ambitions, my foolish former student. Kuchiyose No Jutsu!"
Sarutobi slammed his hand into the ground, an array of seals appearing under it. There was a puff of smoke to signify the Hokage summoning something. When the smoke cleared, it was to reveal a large white ape with ninja attire and a Konoha head band secured around his forehead. The ape observed his new surroundings briefly, before his eyes locked onto the gold slitted eyes of Orochimaru.
"So…it has come to this after all," The old ape ground out, turning his attention to Sarutobi. "You're a pathetic fool for letting that man live Saru. Had you just killed him the last time you had met, none of this would have happened."
"I know I was foolish back then Enma, however, rest assured that I will not be letting this monster live beyond today." Sarutobi replied, knowing his summon had never been happy with his decision to let the Snake Sannin go.
"This wouldn't have happened had you just finished him the first time you had the chance!"
"Enma, use that so we can rid ourselves of this snake once and for all!"
"Very well." The old ape said before forming a hand seal. "Henge: Kongōnyoi (Adamantine staff)!"
A puff of smoke later, a long black staff with golden ended tips appeared in Enma's place. Sarutobi grasped the staff in his hand, twirling the weapon around expertly despite not having used it in battle for a few years. He settled himself into a stance and glared at his opponent.
Smirking at his sensei, Orochimaru opened his mouth and allowed a snake to slither out of it. Said serpent hissed as it opened its jaws to reveal the hilt of a blade. Orochimaru grabbed onto the hilt and pulled it out of the snake, letting it retreat back into its master.
"The Kusanagi…" The Enma transformed staff spoke, "I may be tough, but that will injure me after awhile."
"I will be sure to end it before that happens," Sarutobi replied.
Orochimaru grinned as he swung the sword a few times, "Well, shall we begin sensei?"
"Of course my foolish former student," Sarutobi rushed forward. "Let us begin!"
The Raikage held in a smirk as he looked at the Shodai Hokage, "You know, I have always wanted to fight against an opponent of your caliber."
His smirk turned into a frown when he did not receive an answer. Though in hindsight it was to be expected, after all, what did he expect a dead man under the control of a madman to say? "Well, I suppose we should just get started…" He mumbled.
The dark skinned man took off his robe and hat, throwing them away where they made a loud crashing sound to reveal they were weighted. Having never been patient enough for his opponents to make the first move, A charged at the Shodai.
He sent a fist at the man, not at all bothered when it was blocked and a fist was sent his way in return. He blocked the fist easily enough and pulled the man into a knee, however the Shodai merely flipped over the man, spinning in mid air to launch a kick at A. the Raikage managed to duck under the kick, grabbing the Shodai by the foot the Raikage managed to toss the armored ninja away.
The Shodai flipped himself over, landing on his feet and looked up to see A charging towards him. Hashirama placed his hands on the ground, causing several tree branches to sprout out and attempt to grab onto A. The Raikage tried to jump away from the attack, but a vine managed to wrap itself around his ankle.
A grunted as he used his strength to rip the vine and continued his charge towards the Shodai; in response Hashirama went through several hand seals, afterwards he slammed them into the ground, causing multiple bamboo spikes to shoot out. Despite his size, the Raikage moved between the bamboo shafts with relative ease, and swatted away those few that he could not dodge.
Finally closing the distance A lashed out with a kick. However, Hashirama managed to jump over it; landing on the dark skinned mans bulky shoulder. He attempted to kick A, but the Raikage threw him off before it could happen.
He landed on the ground some distance away, and went through more hand seals. Slamming his hands in the ground caused multiple large wooden pillars to shoot out and smash into A. the Raikage grunted as he crossed his arms in a guard as the pillars slammed into him, using his strength to stay in the same spot. Keeping one hand on the branch he had, A used his other one to smash into the pillar. Said wooden pillar shattered as he hit it.
A began doing his own hand seals before opening his mouth. "Raiton: Gian!"
A large bolt of lightning shot out at Hashirama, who began his own hand sealing. A large wooden dome formed around him, protecting the Shodai from A's lightning attack.
When the lightning dissipated the dome came down. Hashirama looked around only to find no one. It was then that he received a powerful blow to the face, sending him flying backwards where he smashed into the ground and skidded across it.
Knowing that a Kage would never be defeated by only one hit, the Raikage began doing more hand seals. "Raiton: Kaminari no Kami Ken (Lightning Release: Lightning God Fist)!"
A thrust out his fist, causing a large blast of lightning to shoot out at Hashirama. It soon took the shape of a fist, right before it crashed into the Shodai, causing him and the area he was in to explode in a shower of lightning.
The Raikage frowned as he waited to see what had happened, knowing better then to let his guard down. His decision was soon shown to be a prudent choice as several wooden stakes shot out of the dust and debris his jutsu had kicked up. The Raikage charged lightning chakra into his fists, bashing the stakes as they came towards him, destroying them.
It was then that the Shodai came out of the dust himself, rushing towards the towering Raikage as he attacked. A blocked the fist that came his way, then lashed out with his own fist. Hashirama dodged the attack, jumping back a little before he came in with a kick. The Raikage managed to grab the kick, keeping Hashirama in place before he lifted the man above his head and slammed him back into the ground. A then jumped up and flipped himself over as he attempted to heel drop the Shodai.
However Hashirama managed to roll away, pushing himself into a flip and landing on his feet a few meters away. The Shodai went through more hand seals before thrusting his fists out, with said fists turning into large blocks of wood that launched themselves at A. The Raikage ran right towards them, using his strength to smash the wooden fists to pieces.
He charged in and got close to Hashirama, using a left punch, right punch combination. When his attacks were blocked A kicked the Shodai's legs out from under him. He would have stepped on the man, but Hashirama managed to twist around and kick the Raikage's foot, knocking him off balance.
The Raikage landed on the ground with a heavy thud, the tiles of the roof breaking from his weight. He looked up to see Hashirama bearing down on him and rolled out of the way. Pushing himself up A managed to block the incoming jab sent his way. He swatted the next hand away and moved in, closing the distance to land a powerful blow on the Founder of Konoha's stomach, sending the man flying away.
The Shodai hit the ground hard, with the force of the impact sending the tiles of the roof flying as the man skidded along the ground. Hashirama continued his skid as he kicked up tiles and even concrete from the power the attack had hit him with.
Hashirama stood up from the large trench he had made when he skidded across the ground. He looked up, only to see the Raikage standing right next to him, fist reared back.
"Raiton: Kaminari no Hinto (Lightning Release: Lightning Tip)!" A shouted as he thrust his fist at Hashirama, with said fist crackling with lightning as it took the shape of a spear point. The fist plunged right into and through Hashirama, sending several thousand volts of electricity through the Shodai's body.
"Kai!" the hole that A had made when he plunged his fist into Hashirama's chest exploded in a shower of electricity. The Shodai was sent flying backwards as the blast destroyed half of his body, though oddly enough no blood came out of it. He landed on the ground with a thud several feet away from the Raikage.
A nodded to himself as he saw the damage done to his opponent. He was about to breath a sigh of relief when he stopped, looked at Hashirama's body again and then gaped. The area that his jutsu had destroyed was slowly reforming as ash began to cover the area, crawling along Hashirama's skin and leaving behind unmarred flesh, as if the wound had never happened. When all of the damage A's jutsu had done was healed, Hashirama stood up as if he had never been injured.
"Oh what the fuck!" A swore, "This is great; I'm fighting an undead Kage. I'm beginning to regret offering my aid to the Hokage."
A tensed when he saw Hashirama's left leg shift, a sure sign that the man was about to charge. His theory proved to be correct when The Shodai began speeding towards him.
The Raikage growled in annoyance as he set himself in a stance, waiting for the Shodai to get near him. When the man was in range A launched a fist at the man. It was blocked of course, but A had anticipated this and grabbed onto the Shodai's forearm, using it to pull the man into a knee. Though, that too proved unsuccessful when Hashirama managed to block the attack with his own knee.
Still it proved useful in getting close and The Raikage was able to launch several successful hit on Hashirama. Using his powerful physical strength, A pummeled the man with his fists with bone jarring force. If the Shodai was not already dead and incapable of feeling pain, he would have been howling at the amount of abuse his forearms and joints were taking. The amount of power in each of A's strikes were more than enough to break the bones of all but the most powerful of taijutsu users.
Having had enough of the man blocking his attacks, A grabbed both of Hashirama's arms in his next combination. The Raikage then proceeded to jump into the air, and launched a devastating double stomp kick on the Shodai's chest. The force of the assault was enough that Hashirama's arms, which were still in the grip of The Raikage, were ripped off at the sockets and the man himself was sent flying back, where he once again crashed into the tiled roof with enough force to send tiles and grout several dozen feet into the air.
A threw the arms he now held away, and looked towards where Hashirama was. He quickly let out a frustrated snarl as he saw the man once more getting up from his lethal attack, the Shodai's arms having already been re-grown. A realized that he was going to have to really go all out on the guy if he wanted to win, quite possibly, it would take having to destroy Hashirama's body entirely to defeat the man.
He watched as Hashirama went through a set of hand seals and then slammed his hands on the ground. A large number of thick trunk sized vines shot out of the ground, launching themselves towards A, who had already begun his own hand seals.
"Raiton: Rairyuudan (Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Jutsu)!" A large dragon made of lightning appeared in front of A, letting loose a fearsome roar before it charged towards Hashirama. The roots and vines that got in it's way were utterly destroyed as it made it's mad dash towards The Shodai. Before it could hit a large dome of wood covered Hashirama's form, taking the brunt of the attack; however, unlike the first attack this jutsu blocked, the lightning dragon was too powerful to block entirely, and it ended up drilling straight through the wood dome.
The explosion that followed was nothing short of spectacular as lightning arched out in all directions from the point of the jutsu's impact. When it cleared, it revealed the dome had been utterly destroyed, with chunks of wood lying around the area, and a large crater showing on the roof.
A was already looking down at the destruction his jutsu had caused. Seeing there was nothing there, no corpse or anything, he was positive he had won. Still, he knew better then to let his guard down until he was sure that victory was his.
His actions were shown to be a wise course of action when seconds later several vines shot out of the ground and began to wrap around him. He tried to break free of course, but he was surprised enough that he had let the vines grow in numbers that even his strength could not break out of. Instead they managed to wrap around his boy, until he was entirely covered in them, and then they began to squeeze the life out of him.
Only for A to explode in a shower of lightning, destroying most if not all of the vines that had been around the now revealed Rai Bunshin.
A few seconds later Hashirama appeared next to where the clone had exploded, looking for his opponent.
"Raiton: Raikou Nami No Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Wave Jutsu)!" A voice called out. Less than a second later a large wave of lightning burst from the left in a decent sized explosion.
Hashirama jumped into the air in order to avoid the attack, but it was then that another attack was called out, this time from above, "Raiton: Raikyuu!"
Hashirama only had time to look up as a ball of lightning shot towards him, smashing into his body and sending several thousands volts of electricity through him as he plummeted to the ground.
He hit the ground with a loud crash, sending tiling and concrete in all directions as the lightning exploded against him. A landed on the ground when the lightning attack ended and saw, much to his disgruntlement, that there was nothing there except a pile of wood.
Moku Bunshin (Wood Clone)? A wondered as he stared at the pile.
His mental question remained unanswered as he was forced to jump back when several large wooden stakes shot out of the ground at his former position. Looking up he saw Hashirama staring at him, his hands still on the ground. If A could have cursed, he would have, but as it was he had no time to get enough breath for such a thing, as he was forced to dodge a number of large wooden stakes that continued shooting out of the ground at him.
Deciding he had, had enough. A began channeling lightning chakra through his entire body, letting it pour out of him. Lightning began dancing across his skin, sending jolts that arched away every now and then, a testament to the amount of lightning chakra he had begun channeling. Soon enough he was covered in lightning, making it look like he was covered in a living, light blue armor.
Without preamble, A held his ground and when the wooden stakes shot at him again, he merely used his fists to destroy them. None of the stakes stood a chance as he pulverized them, smashing them into oblivion as each time he struck; a large blast of lightning came off him.
When the stakes stopped coming, A looked up to see Hashirama charging towards him. That was when A disappeared, leaving nothing more then a streak of light blue to signify where he had been. It was in that same split second of A's disappearance, that The Shodai received a powerful punch in the jaw, enough to shatter it and send him flying back. Before he could hit the ground, he received another blow from behind, launching him into the air. Then he received a blow to his gut, sending him falling back into the ground where he landed with a large crash.
Despite the massive pounding he had just received, Hashirama stood up as his wounds healed completely. He looked over to his left to see the Raikage standing there, his armor still around his form and crackling with repressed energy.
"Raiton No Yoroi (Lightning Armor)," A stated the name of the jutsu he was using. He then disappeared again and began pounding away at the Shodai, hoping that if he beat the man down enough he would kill him.
"I hope you're ready for the battle of the century, because Hachibi-sama's gonna fight with a fury," Killer Bee rapped, frowning when all the Nidaime, Tobirama Senju, did was give him a dead stare.
"Man this crowd is tough, so it looks like I'm gonna have to get a little rough."
Once again, Tobirama ignored the man's rap as his legs tensed, right before he charged at Kirabi. Said man waited for the Nidaime to come closer, letting the white haired man lash out with a fist. Kirabi countered by launching his own, hitting the Nidaime's fist and negating the power of the man's punch. In that same second, Bee struck out with his other fists, hitting Tobirama in the gut and launching him back.
Tobirama skidded back several feet, before shaking off the hit like it was nothing and beginning a set of hand seals. "Suiton: Suiryuudan No Jutsu!"
Water began to coalesce in front of the Nidaime Hokage, and then it began taking the shape of a dragon with glowing yellow eyes. Said dragon let loose a roar as it charged Kirabi's position.
"Motherfucker," Kirabi cursed as he dodged to the left, only to see Tobirama already in front of him with a kunai in hand. The Nidaime lashed out with his kunai, however, faster then the eye could blink, Kirabi had unsheathed a sword and managed to slash the kunai in half.
"How do you like that Motherfucka! I got skills like wouldn't believe, so maybe it's time you just up and leave. Hey that one was pretty good, I better write it down before my rap goes out of town!"
Tobirama looked at Kirabi, who had just sheathed his sword again and was now crouched on the ground with a pen and paper writing and furiously scribbling his new rhyme, then back down to the hilt of his destroyed kunai. Tossing the kunai away, the Nidaime charged in. He launched a jab at Kirabi's face while the man was still writing, however Kirabi was not as preoccupied as he looked. This was proven as he got up and easily blocked the punch sent to him by Tobirama. Seeing his punch blocked the Nidaime came in with a kick, however, Kirabi just jumped back, letting the attack miss him entirely.
"Well it looks like you've got some moves little dude," Kirabi complimented. "But now that I'm in the mood, it's time to beat you down, by showing what I can do." The dark skinned man paused for a moment. "Hey that was a wicked rhyme, I better write it down before I lose it this time."
Once again Kirabi took out his trusty notepad and pen, sitting down he began writing his raps. If Tobirama could have sweatdropped he would at seeing someone completely ignore his presence not once but twice in such a high level battle, as it was the man now had the emotional range of a teaspoon, a dead teaspoon at that. And so his natural reaction was to simply begin hand sealing for a jutsu.
"Suiton: Suishouha (Water Release: Water Collision Destruction)!" In several seconds, a rather large amount of water had gathered around the white haired man out of no where, and had formed what amounted to a miniature tornado or typhoon that was continuously increasing in size. When the technique was complete, Tobirama made a gesture towards Kirabi and the water rushed over to the still writing man.
"What da fuck!" Kirabi shouted as he put his writing utensils and note pad away, and began pumping chakra into his legs. He jumped into the air in order to avoid the large crashing wave. Kirabi landed on top of the water and looked around to find his opponent. He frowned when he could not find the Nidaime, and it was in that moment that a shadow appeared above him. Looking up he saw Tobirama bearing down on his position, with a kunai in hand.
Kirabi just smirked as he grabbed onto one of his swords, and when the Nidaime was nearly on top of him he struck. Drawing his sword, Kirabi lashed out with a horizontal slash that took the kunai and the arm holding the kunai, off. The kunai's blade along with the arm up to the man's elbow slid off and fell into the water caused by the white haired man's jutsu. Tobirama did not even have time to contemplate what had happened, not that he could in his deadened emotional state anyways, as he received a powerful kick to the chest and was sent flying.
"Now that's what I'm talking about, it's called taking the trash out!" Kirabi rapped. However what ever else he might have said stopped when he saw his opponent getting up. Not only was he getting up, but his arm was starting to reform as what looked like ash swirled around it. "Now that's just not cool, I'm really not liken dis fool!"
He noticed that Tobirama was now fully healed and grunted in annoyance, "It looks like I'm gonna have to get serious, if the dude regenerate like this!"
'Bee do you ever stop rapping?'
Kirabi blinked at the annoyed voice in his head. 'Hachi? When did you wake up? I thought you was catchin' some Z's?'
'I've been awake for nearly hour and you fool. I've been watching this battle the whole time,' Kirabi could practically feel his Bijuu rolling his eyes.
'Well why didn't you say so, you know it's good to have more than one voice when I'm working my rhymes eight-o.'
'Damn it Bee! How many time's have I told you not to call me that!
'Don't know, I lost count a long time ago.'
Kirabi did not get the chance to hear his tenants response as the Nidaime charged him, forcing Bee to back away. Frowning, the dark skinned man timed his attacks to that of his opponents, lashing out and knocking the man's fist away, right before he sent his own into the man. Kirabi's fist hit Tobirama full force in the face, sending the man flying back.
"This dude's starting to knock off my rhymes, it's time I showed him what happens to those who waste my time!" Kirabi grabbed his swords one by one and tossed them into the air. He took a crane position as he caught all seven of the swords he had carried on his back. One in each hand, one in between the joints of each of his arms, one he caught and held in the joint of his upright lifted right knee, one held under his left arm pit and one in his mouth.
As this happened, Tobirama charged at Bee, hoping to take him out before he could do whatever it was he was going to do. However, it was too late as Kirabi began to bob his head to an unheard beat. When the Nidaime came in close, the dark skinned man began to spin, looking very much like a pinwheel as he attacked.
Seeing this the Nidaime attempted backpedal, trying his best to dodge the completely random movements that Bee was making. However the man had become a literal whirlwind of movement, like a force of nature and was doggedly following the Nidaime, occasionally letting one of the swords lash out, or throwing one into the air, adding an even more random and deadly variable to the battle.
The white haired man did his best to dodge or block the buzz saw that was Bee, using two kunai and his natural speed on the water to aid him; and for a time he seemed to be doing well. However after several minutes of staying on the defensive the white haired former Kage's defenses slipped and Bee capitulated on this. The seven blades shredded into the Nidaime, cutting him into ribbons that fell on the tiled roof.
Kirabi stopped moving after that, throwing his blades into the air before catching them one by one and re-sheathing them, "Take that motha fucka', I'd like to see this man get back, after that subliminal attack!"
As if karma decided to spite Bee, ashes began spreading across the diced up man's form. Once again it crawled up his skin, reforming the man's body and leaving it scar less as if the Nidaime had not just been cut up into several pieces by Bee's blades. Once Tobirama's body was fully healed, the man stood back up and looked at Kirabi with his dead expression.
"What's this!" Bee shouted in surprise, "Motha fucka' why won't yo ass stay down, how many times do I have to beat it into the ground!"
The Nidaime's response was to charge him, closing the distance in less than a second. Kirabi decided to be the one to throw the first punch this time, rather then react to the white haired man's attacks. However, the man merely leapt over his hand, using it as a spring board as he pushed his body into the air. Then the Nidaime twisted in mid air, so that his body was running parallel to Bee's for all of two seconds. It was during those two seconds that several things of great importance happened.
The first was for Tobirama to grab onto two of Bee's swords. The second thing was him pulling Kirabi's swords from their sheath. And last, was him landing on the ground, spinning around and taking a two sword stance behind Bee who had not moved since the entire thing happened.
'Oh motha fucka! He did not just grab my swords! Kirabi shouted in his mind. Now in Kumo there were a few rules he had set that were known very well to all citizens of Kumo. The first was don't dis his raps. The second was don't dis his friends. The third, and probably the most important rule, was don't touch his swords! The one man who had not known that rule, a missing ninja he had fought once, had done just that and been on the ass end of the mother of all ass kickings. By the time Bee had been done with the man, he had been begging for death.
"You motha fucka betta pray to whatever kami you worship," Kirabi said, for once not being able to rap due to his anger. "Cuz I'm gonna be beating your fuckin' ass!"
Kirabi then charged at Tobirama, grabbing a hold of two of his swords as he rushed the man. The Nidaime waited until Bee had gotten close enough to strike, and then sent out the sword in his left hand in a thrust, hoping to pierce the dark skinned man in the heart. It wasn't to be as Bee twisted his body, spinning around as he brought his right sword up, slashing the man's arm off at the elbow. As he continued his spin, Bee sent a horizontal slash across the man's chest, slicing into tit with relative ease. Though, it did not go as deep as it could have since Tobirama had jumped back, receiving only a light gash, one that quickly closed up.
Bending down, Kirabi retrieved his sword and then looked up. He felt himself getting angry at seeing the man already had his arm back.
Da fuck! How does this dude keep doing that?
'It's that ash like substance around him Bee.'
'You say it's da ash Hachi? What is dat shit anyways?'
'How should I know you idiot? All I know is that it gathers around him after he receives an injury.'
'So dis motha Fucka is like some kind of invincible fool. So how do I kill him?'
'He's already dead moron! I don't think you can kill him.'
'What chu talkin' 'bout Eight-o? Anything can die, if he's already dead, I'll jus' kill 'im again.'
Bee heard a sigh in his mind as his inner demon went silent. It was just a little after talking with his inner demon that he heard the sound of a jutsu being called.
"Suiton: Suigadan (Water Release: Water Fang Bullet)!" a circle of water spikes surrounded Bee before closing in, attempting to impale and crush him at the same time. However, Bee was already unsheathing one of his swords, channeling lightning chakra through it as he spun. He released the chakra, creating a shockwave of lightning that decimated the water spikes.
Kirabi looked over at the Nidaime with anger as he saw the man, a hand on his sword, and taking a stance. Bee grabbed and pulled out another blade and charged at the man. In response to this the Nidaime charged him as well, meeting the dark skinned man in the center of their battle field. The sounds of steel clashing echoed through out the area as the fierce kenjutsu match picked up.
The sound of steel on steel echoed across the battlefield as the two continued there fight. Despite his anger at someone else touching one of his swords, Kirabi had to give the Nidaime grudging respect for his ability. The man was extremely good with a blade, able to easily keep up with the two that the Hachibi Jinchuuriki was wielding.
Ducking under a swing Tobirama came up and attempted to bisect the larger man, only to be blocked as the blade he was using met one of Kirabi's. Less then a second later the blade in the Jinchuuriki's other hand came in with a swing that would take off the Nidaime's head if it hit. However the white haired man bent back ever so slightly, letting the blade pass him by.
Coming back up Tobirama swung his blade, but it was blocked by the two Bee was using. Said dark skinned man grunted as he used his strength to push the Nidaime back, sending the man skidding across the floor. In response to this, Tobirama let up the pressure of his sword, dropping down and attempting to sweep the other man's legs out from under him.
However, Kirabi had anticipated this and jumped over the leg sweep, spinning around in mid air and sending an axe kick on Tobirama's head. It would have worked had the Nidaime not already been moving backwards, and so instead, all Bee hit was the ground. The dark skinned man stood back up, then swerved to the side in order to dodge Tobirama's downward sword slash.
Wanting his blade back, Killer Bee threw his two swords into the air, grabbed another two swords and threw them into the air as well, then he grabbed his last two swords. Modifying his stance for six blades instead of seven, Bee caught the other swords. The only difference being he no longer had a sword in his mouth, since the one that he used for that was in the Nidaime had in his hands.
"I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, it's time to show you why Kirabi is someone you should flee! WHHEEEEE!" Kirabi once again began spinning, becoming the near force of nature he was known for. He began tossing his swords into the air, letting them become added variables as he closed the distance between him and the Nidaime.
Said shinobi tried to use the blade he had stolen from Bee to block as many of the attacks as best as he could. However there were far too many coming in, at the same time, at different angles. They were too fast and too numerous. The blades attacking in such an unpredictable pattern that it was unlikely even a Sharingan user could follow the movements. Tobirama soon began to get sliced again. His left arm was taken off at the shoulder, his right hand, which was holding the sword, was also cut off.
And without even missing a beat, Killer Bee grabbed onto his sword that Tobirama dropped. Tossing it in the air with several others, before he caught the blade in his mouth, he took a new stance, and began to increase the speed of his spin as he pin wheeled into Tobirama. The man now had no way to defend against Bee, and even though he tried to backpedal it wasn't enough.
The Nidaime's head ended up getting sliced vertically in half; his two legs got lopped off, one at the knee and the other at mid calf. His torso was cut into six pieces, four diagonally and then one down the middle. As a finisher, Killer Bee sliced the man's head off at the neck, and then sliced the head into sixteen more pieces before it fell to the ground. By the time Bee was finished, the Nidaime was just a chunk of flesh.
"That had to have gotten da motha fucka, if it didn't I don't know how I'm gonna beat this sucka!"
Bee had to hold in a growl of annoyance as he saw Tobirama once again healing. This battle was getting utterly ridiculous! No matter what he did, that stupid white haired prick with the dead eyes kept getting back up like some kind of zombie!
'That's pretty much what he is Bee, I can't believe I got sealed into an idiot like you.'
'Man this is getting sick, and not in the good kind, but the kind where I'm starting to get ticked!'
'You'll never be able to beat him like this Bee.'
'So what would you suggest?'
'Why don't you let me out? I'll pound him back into the dirt.'
'Sounds like a plan, not like anything else can.'
Bee re-sheathed his blades and let out a sigh. He rarely ever used Hachibi's chakra in battle now a days, since there were very few people who could force him that far. Now a days he usually only let his tenant out at his vacation spot Unraikyo (Valley of Clouds and Lightning) where his Bijuu could rampage all he liked and not kill anyone on accident.
Raising his hands into the air, Killer Bee let out a howl that, if Tobirama had emotions, would have had him shaking. Since the man didn't, he just charged, hoping to use this as an opening to defeat the dark skinned Kumo ninja. However, as he charged forward, he soon found himself being forced back as massive amounts of youki began pouring out of Bee. What was more shocking, was that the amount of youki was so large that the water around Bee began getting pushed back, creating a small circle around him as green youki formed into a cloak that covered his entire form.
As the dark skinned man's chakra began rising well past the level that any human could ever hope to produce, it began to take a form around him. The youki behind him began to take on the shape of tales, cephalopod like tails that were reminiscent of an octopus; they formed one by one until there were eight of them, swaying behind the man in an invisible breeze. The last touches were the two horns that were added on top of Bee's head, bull horns that swept around in a circle with the tips ending at the back.
'Dis should do it don't you think Eight-o?' Kirabi asked, 'after all there's no need to go full out on this guy.'
'I couldn't go full out anyways, not with that shield still surrounding us. Well, unless I wanted to destroy the village.'
Outside of the shield, the ANBU who were watching the battles taking place all gasped.
"A-A another demon! Here!" shouted an ANBU in a weasel mask.
"What the hell was Sandaime-Sama thinking? Letting a monster like that even enter our village, let alone fight beside him!" A tiger masked ANBU yelled.
"Shut up! Both of you!" Their commander, a man in a cat masked ordered. "Do not question Sandaime-sama's orders! It's obvious this man is an ally! Otherwise he and the Raikage would not risk fighting with him."
"They could just be hoping to gain our trust," The weasel masked ANBU pointed out.
The cat masked commander shook his head, "I doubt it. Had they wanted to, they could have used the confusion and chaos of the fighting around here to gain the Byakugan, or what ever other bloodline they wanted. Neither of them had to fight this battle, or help Sandaime-sama. And had they not, I am sure Sandaime-sama would have lost this battle in the end, especially fighting against Orochimaru and two former Hokages."
The other two were silent after that, realizing that what their commander said made a lot of sense. They turned back to the battle, wondering what would happen now that the known Jinchuuriki was using what looked to be all eight tails of his Bijuu.
A growled in absolute frustration as he watched Hashirama get back up, his caved in face and chest re-healing again. This fight had been going on far longer then the Raikage had hoped it would. No matter what he tried, no matter how much damage he had done, the man just kept getting back up and coming for more.
With the information A had managed to get on Orochimaru, he had expected to see many strange and bizarre jutsu. But having to fight an undead Kage, that would continue fighting and healing at a rate that would make a Jinchuuriki jealous, was by far the weirdest.
Not to mention the most god damn frustrating thing he had ever done!
"Why the hell won't you stay down!" A yelled as he charged back in, his Raiton No Yoroi still activate. He pounded his fists in the Shodai. Each hit sending a powerful jolt of electricity through the dead kage, not that it actually affected the man. Though it did give him extensive cosmetic damage, leaving dents, smashing bones, burn marks and was even taking off several chunks of flesh.
A finished his attack by sending a powerful double fist into The Shodai's chest, launching the man back where he once again crashed into the nearly destroyed ground. The lightning that crackled around the Raikage fizzled out after that. He had been holding the jutsu for nearly two hours and the constant drain on his reserves finally caught up, and he was no longer able to keep it up.
"If that didn't finish him, I don't know what can." A said, breathing in rather heavily.
It was much to his displeasure, though no longer his surprise that he watched Hashirama get back up with his wounds already healed. As the man charged at him, A grunted and began his own charge. He was beginning to regret lending aid to Sarutobi. He had originally done it as a small form of compensation for,
A) Allowing him to watch the Chunin Exams.
B) Actually informing him about the coming invasion, since the man was in no way obligated to actually do so.
C) Get revenge on Orochimaru for stealing several children with Kekkei Genkai from his village.
And finally D) To in some way make up for the Hyuuga debacle that his father, the Sandaime Raikage had created.
However, he felt he was getting far more then he had bargained for in this battle. Sure, he actually kind of had some fun at first. It had been a long time since he could simply go all out on his opponents and having them get back up from the beating he gave so he could give another. But now it was just annoying. He was tired, he was nearly out of chakra, and this son of a bitch kept coming no matter what he did.
Therefore it was fortunate for him that the Sandaime arrived when he did, jumping in front of the charging Hashirama and latching onto the man's shoulders. Much to the surprise of A, the Shodai stopped all movements and emotion flickered into the man's eyes for the first time since the battle started.
"I am sorry old friend," Sarutobi apologized as he began to pull the soul of his sensei out of the body.
"Do not be, little-Saru," Hashirama said. "I am pleased to see you are willing to go so far to protect our home," With those parting words, the Shodai collapsed into ash, and the body of an Oto shinobi fell out.
"What the hell?" The Raikage muttered in perplexed confusion. "I spent two hours beating him to a pulp and you just grab him by the shoulders and that's it."
Sarutobi turned around and smiled at the man, it was then that A saw the complex seal on the old Hokage's stomach.
"Thank you for your help, Raikage-dono." The old man then disappeared in a puff of smoke, revealing him to be a Kage Bunshin.
A sighed. "Well, at least now I'm done fighting. I'm almost looking forward to getting back to paperwork."
Kirabi crouched down as he began channeling Hachibi's youki into his legs in such massive quantities that the tiles under him began to crack. Then he shot forward, the power and speed being so much that the force caused the entire section of the roof he was on to explode and then collapse. This gave Bee several added benefits; the first was all the water now draining through the whole he had made. And the second was that his speed was so great, Tobirama could only just barely spot him as a green blur. It was thanks to this that the man was unable to do anything as Bee sent a punch right into his abdomen.
If the Nidaime could have felt pain, he would have screamed as his stomach compressed in on itself, time seemed to stand still for all of two seconds as the force of Bee's fist lodged itself in his stomach made itself known by sending out a ripple in the air. A second later time reasserted itself and Tobirama was sent flying backwards, skipping across the ground like a rag doll and causing many of the tiles to break each time he hit the roof.
His momentum was stopped however, when one of the many tails on the Hachibi Jinchuuriki's back took on not a more solid form and launched itself at the still skidding Kage. It grabbed him by the arm and Kirabi, who was several meters away, willed his tail up, making the appendage move into the air and lift Tobirama with it, right before it smashed him back into the ground. The kinetic force caused by the white haired former Hokage smacking into the roof was enough to cause a large explosion, sending massive amounts of debris flying everywhere.
Tobirama stood up and jumped out of the crater. However, all that seemed to do was make him a target for Bee, who once against grabbed a hold of him with two more of his tails. With a fierce yank, the Nidaime was sent flying towards Killer Bee who had launched himself into the air, spinning around so that his foot was pointing towards Tobirama. One of the tails that were swishing behind Bee was sucked back into his cloak, before forming what amounted to a spear point on his foot.
"Rariatto!" Bee shouted as his foot connected with Tobirama's chest, impaling the man right before he was sent flying. Not quite done yet, Bee grabbed onto the Nidaime's body again, this time when he was above the white haired man. Kirabi yanked Tobirama upwards, while he was flying down and proceeded to lay a double stomp kick into the Nidaime's chest. The shear force of this attack not only sent the Nidaime back down, crashing into the ground with such force that it created a large crater, but also hard enough that Tobirama had lost nearly two thirds of his body in the attack, leaving only his head and half of his torso and right arm.
Bee landed on the ground and looked at the destruction he had caused with a smirk. "Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout, let's see him rise from this shit, there's no way he can take that kind of hit!" Killer Bee said in a growling demonic voice.
"Suiton: Teppoudama (Water Release: Gunshot)!" Bee cursed as several powerful water bullets were launched at him. Using the Hachibi's youki, he swatted at the jutsu, causing them to disperse on impact.
"Suiton: Suiryuudan No Jutsu!" Bee looked up as he heard the voice and was just in time to see a water dragon form in the air and launch itself at him.
Kirabi began to swear as he tried to think of a way to destroy the water dragon, but found none, well, none that were feasible anyway. He had full control of his tenant's youki, so if he wanted to, he could go into his second stage where he took on the likeness of his Bijuu. That would essentially increase his power by nearly ten times, but it would also mean he would end up destroying half of Konoha in the process. And while this was not his village, there was not much point in helping fight off the invasion, if he ended up destroying half of the village that was being invaded while doing so.
Unable to really come up with anything good Kirabi sent all of the tails into his arms, forming two wicked looking drills that vaguely resembled horns. He then rushed at the water dragon, thrusting his drill covered fists out and plowing through the jutsu. Surprisingly enough, the jutsu gave with little resistance, and while he expected to have defeated it in the end, it was far easier than he thought it should be.
Even more surprising was the sight of Sarutobi holding onto the Nidaime by the shoulders. Kirabi could see the pair talking in a hushed tone, which was also surprising, given that the man had been dead to the world for their entire fight. After that Tobirama seemed to turn into ash and a pale white Oto Kunoichi fell out of it.
"Oi! What just happened? How did you beat that fool, when I was unable to?" Bee asked as he walked up to the old Sandaime.
Sarutobi turned around and sighed, "I beat him with the only way I could think of."
Killer Bee blinked before noticing the seal on his stomach, a seal that was much like his Bijuu containing one, only more complex. "I see, not quite way I expected him to be beat, but it sure is good now that I get to turn off the heat." With those words the youki cloak disappeared.
Sarutobi looked at Bee with a smirk before disappearing in a burst of smoke. Kirabi looked at where the man had been, before turning his attention to the dead kunoichi. Sighing he knelt down and closed her eyes, feeling disgusted by Orochimaru who would use his own ninja as pawns and sacrifices to further his goals. This was one of the few times he did not feel any desire to bust out in rhyme.
