บท 17: Vs Madara (Part-1)
(1 Week Later)
The Third Raikage 'A' was sitting in his office reading the report from Iwa front when the Door was knocked
"Come In", said Third Raikage
The Jonin came inside and knelt in front of Raikage, "Raikage sama"
"What is it"
"We have finished the check on the one that attacked Yukigakure"
"Speak", Said Raikage
The join nodded and handed him the documents in his hands
"His name is Hatake Yasaki, the Oldest son of Hatake Sakumo, and Hatake Heir. Though that's a useless title because the clan only comprises of 3 members. Him, His father White Fang, and his little brother Hatake Kakashi"
'A' read the documents and stare at his picture, "What about his skills?"
"His ninjutsu skills are decent but it isn't at the prodigy level. Hatake Yasaki doesn't care that much about his ninjutsu skills because he hardly uses ninjutsu and prefers Kenjutsu instead. But his Lightning Release Techniques are very Destructive and are hard to block or dodge. He mainly combines those with his Kenjutsu"
"..."
"His genjutsu skills are alright, but he doesn't use it often because he favors Kenjutsu. The only reason why he would even consider genjutsu is if he doesn't have any other options"
Raikage kept on reading the report.
"His Taijutsu is the only other skill besides kenjutsu that he bothers to train in. The reason is obvious, if Hatake Yasaki's taijutsu skills are pitiful then his kenjutsu skills would be as well. But even then he does not know any form in that regard"
"Talk about his Kenjutsu to me", Raikage ordered
"His Kenjutsu abilities are incredible. According to our information, He is an absolutely monstrous talent in it. From my observation and the information that I gathered, His swordsmanship is god-like. He even surpassed White fang in that single regard"
"..."
"From the information I have, He started training at the age of two, By the age of five, he was already very good at it. Now he is at the age of eleven, and only trains in Kenjutsu"
"Tell me more", Raikage put down the documents and listen carefully
"He can wield a sword with great speed, power, skill, and precision. It has to be known that he is able to easily cut through anything. And with his skills, he can take on multiple opponents at once and not get injured. Not only does he have great skill with the sword but instincts as well. I don't think, just anyone can hit him, Even White Fang has trouble hitting him"
"Hmm... Even if that's the case isn't it easy to beat him? Just take his sword away and you win"
"I am afraid it's not so easy Raikage sama"
"Why?"
"He can use anything as the sword, Weather it's a pebble or a Blade of Grass. He is always with a sword. He can even make a sword using Chakra"
"What about putting him in Genjutsu?"
"Hatake Clan's Kekkei Genkai, That white chakra, I heard he is quite proficient in it. and although we are not sure of it, I believe he is immune to Genjutsu"
"You sure?"
"We don't have the confirmation sir, But I am 90% Sure of it"
Raikage leaned back, "Talk about his stats"
"I heard that a few Years ago, Hatake Yasaki stole the scroll of Raiju from Suna"
"Isn't it almost impossible to sign a contract with them?"
"But he did"
"So?"
"He mysteriously disappeared when he was 9. And when he returned a year later at the age of 10, His physical strength reached great heights back then, For the last 1 year, He mysteriously disappears from time to time and spends the majority of his time training there"
"..."
As of now, His strength far surpasses humans and what a normal human can do through training alone. His strength is one of the main reasons why his skill in kenjutsu is so great. The exact limits of his strength are unknown but it has been confirmed that he can stop a chakra enhanced punch with just one hand"
"what about his agility?"
"He uses some kind of a bizarre Footwork, And combining it with some mysterious Shunshin, He basically dodges everything using those, It's way too hard to hit him, We can't seem to understand how exactly"
"..."
"As for longer distance, He covers himself with Lightning Armor, That gives him the same level of Defence as that of you, Also, He uses some kind of a Ninjutsu that converts him into a Lightning bolt, It's... Very Fast"
"..."
"Although we don't have the Confirmation about his Durability and regenerative Prowess, Hatake Sakumo himself trains him and drives him very hard, so it should not be too bad. We also can not confirm it, But I guess His training with his summon has made him a Sensor"
Raikage closed his eyes and think for a moment
"There is something else I wish to report sir"
"What is it?"
The Jonin showed a picture of a woman to Raikage
"Her Name is Nozomi, No surname, she was an Orphan. She was born in a very small village"
"So?"
"She showed great Potential in Kenjutsu. 20 Years Ago, an Unknown guy came by and took her as an Apprentice"
"..."
"That Unknown man showed her the Arts of Sword fighting. And also, asked Uzumakis to make her a sword"
"So what?"
"That sword was black in color and was made by a Uzumakis sir. You know how they used to be, This sword is sealed to be Indestructible and to be able to cut through anything"
"Again, So what?"
"11 Years Ago, Nozomi gave birth to a child. That child was born carrying her face, and both his parents Kenjutsu Talents... She was Hatake Sakumo's wife, And Hatake Yasaki's mother sir"
!!!!
"What? What about that sword?"
"It's in the possession in Hatake Yasaki"
"When you said it can cut any--
"I mean anything, sir, Even your Lightning Armor or fourth Kazekage golden sand defense is useless against it... The sword will just pass through it"
"..."
"So, if we fight right now"
"You will still win sir, In fact, He might not be able to even put a scratch on you now. Similarly with Fourth Kazekage. But that's only temporary. Because he has not reached his full potential in Kenjutsu. Which is monstrous by the way"
Third Raikage stood from his position, "What's his position now?"
"He is currently searching for White Fang along with Konoha's Golden Flash Namikaze Minato"
"White Fang?"
"He has been missing for almost 2 months sir"
"Why?"
"Reasons Unknown, But Last I heard, he was near Kumogakure"
Raikage turned his head at this, "Continue"
"I sent my spies there, It turned out there was a fight, and a huge load of dried blood, We ran the DNA test with his samples that we collected in the second war. It matched to be White Fang's sir. He is hurt and running away from someone Unknown"
"No other clues?"
"No sir, whoever it was, White Fang wasn't even able to put a scratch on him, It wasn't a fight, But pure one-sided domination"
"Understood, Let's hunt down the Brat before he grew up any more powerful and cause any trouble"
"I am afraid it's not a wise move sir"
"Why?"
"Sir, Iwa is already on our face, All our fighters are on the frontline, if we waste our already scarce resources on someone as Insignificant as that of this Brat, we will lose really bad sir"
"I can take care of them"
"I am not saying that you can't, But there are thousands of them, even if they are weaker than you, Your Stamina and Chakra won't be able to outlast them, Please forgive my words, They will be able to kill you, sir"
"Can't we get our Soldiers back in the village?"
"Not on time sir"
"What's your Recommendation"
"We... Run"
"B", Raikage 'A' Yelled with Lightning armor blasting off, giving a huge pressure
"If we run today, We will be able to kill Tsuchikage in the future and still rescue Kiri from them. Sir, Please Listen to me, I have been serving you for 30 Years now"
"..."
"What will happen to everyone else, if we decide to run"
"They... will die"
"..."
"Alright, I understand, Announce for everyone to run away"
!!!
"Sir, If we make this big of a move, Iwa will attack now"
"What if we wait, Our forces can not come in time anyway, and their forces continue to grow. We make a move now or we make a move later, It's only beneficial to them. So why not give them less benefit and move now"
"What about you sir?"
"I will protect the backline, Once everyone is safe, I will come to you guys"
"That's---
"Impossible, I know"
"..."
Raikage smirked, "It's a warrior's pride, and Raikage's duty to protect his people, B, I want to protect my people, my village"
"..."
"I understand my Lord"
"We are not leaving that brat aside though, Put a bounty on his head"
"Which Threat Level sir?"
"What are your Thoughts"
"He is a high B rank Threat. Though he can't defeat A ranks yet, He can fight them for a long time before going down sir"
"Alright, Then put him under the A-Rank threat. If he is talented as you say, He will reach that level soon enough. Even now, he can fight A rank Threats equally"
"Understood sir"
"Also, B"
"Yes sir"
"Take care of my kids for me"
"..."
"I will give my everything for Young Lord A and Young Lord B"
Raikage nodded, "Dismiss. Go and announce for the public to be on the move, as soon as possible"
"Yes sir"
'B' closed the door behind him, and looked at the side, "Tell Young Lord A and B to come back as soon as possible"
"What should I tell them, sir?"
"Tell them we have lost Raikage, and they should come for their Father's Funeral"
"..."
"Go now"
"Yes sir"
XXXXXXX
(Meanwhile)
Three ninjas sat in the trench, random projectiles and jutsu flying over their heads, scorching the very earth.
One of them dared to peek above the top. He was instantly fried by a fireball jutsu..!!
"Ack!" One of them exclaimed. "We're gonna die here!!!!"
"Hush, now." The other said, Her dress torn and dirty. "I don't know about you, but I am not gonna die yet..!!"
She was was 12 Years Old, Mei Terumi. Recently married to Hatake Yasaki.
"Terumi san, What should we do?", First one asked
"Let's take the last stand"
The first one looked at her strangely. "What exactly are you planning to do?"
The Chunin Mei looked up
"I'm gonna use that technique." She said, grinning.
The first Chunin looked at her doubtfully.
"We may not even make it to our Campsite..!!" He shouted. "Plus, it will take up almost all your chakra!!"
"Well, I don't see any other way we could get out of this. Do you?"
The first chunin shook his head and looked down in defeat
"I want you to do me a favor, If I die tonight"
"Anything"
"Once I am dead, Tell that useless Husband of mine to just cut his Little Brother in two for me"
The first chunnin shuddered, and slid a little away from her "W-why?"
"Why is he not here to help his wife. And I even heard that he is good. Even though we never loved each other, or even talked to each other nicely. At least we are Legally married. Doesn't he have a duty to protect his wife?"
"Uh... Because he... does not know?"
"Well, He should. Is he that stupid?"
"Uh... Sure, I will tell him"
Chunin Mei put her hands together in an odd seal
She cast her Jutsu, "Lava Clone Technique!"
Hundreds of clones burst forth from a huge orange glow. All looked ready for their next purpose.
"Okay!" She shouted. "Now, charge..!!"
The flaming Lava clones jumped out of the trench, yelling their war cries. Several burst spraying Lava as they were hit by attack after attack, but the rest did not falter. As they neared the enemy, She made a tiger seal.
"Lava Release: Raging Hell..!!" She shouted
The rest of the clones exploded into a magnificent inferno of light and heat and flame! The enemies did outcries with pain
"It worked", First Chunin said
Mei fell right there
"Mei", The Chunnin came to her
"There is no time. We have to move", she said very slowly and tiredly
The Chunnin nodded, as he carried her along with him, as they ran for their life.
Mei Terumi and the other chunin headed through a forest.
The chunin looked at Mei.
"Are you ok?" He asked. "Is this too much for you?"
"What if it is. Shinobi has one duty, To die on Battlefield. No matter the injuries"
"..."
"Let's go..!! I am not gonna die tonight"
...
After some time, She and her comrade stopped in an open plain filled with grass. In the distance, they could hear the noise of battle.
But what interested them more was the person in front of them.
"Is it you this time?" Sojourn Gremachi, The Kumogakure Shinobi asked.
"Oh come on, Give me a break"
Sojourn smiled. "I hope you can stop me. Because if you don't, I am going to rake your Body beneath me", The Kumo Jonin vulgarly ogled at her.
She frowned, "That's why I hate men", she muttered
Sojourn smirked, "Don't hold back"
"Like I have a choice," she remarked, a bit less helplessly
"Lightning Style: Lightning Dragon Jutsu"
"Boil Release: Boiling Dragon Jutsu"
Booooommmmm
Suddenly, Dust Cloud filled the plains as both of their techniques collided.
Instantly, Mei had to jump back quickly to avoid the Remnants of the dragon.
As Mei turned back, she saw Sojourn flying towards her with a Lightning Inducing Punch. Quickly improvising, Mei Dodged the Lightning Punch by rolling to the side and made hand signs.
"Boil Release: Burning Gyser"
!!!
Kumo shinobi couldn't even react before he was flying upward along with the burning hot Gyser
"You won't be able to hit me at this rate!" Sojourn said from behind her.
!!!
Thrown off guard, Mei was kneed in the Abdomen, and kicked in the chin, causing her to spiral backward! She was quickly followed by Sojourn, charging up another Lightning Inducing Punch.!!
"It's over!"
"NO!!!" The Chunin yelled out.
But the Lightning Punch couldn't even touch her, as she was yanked back into someone's embrace, and the Lightning Punch was stopped by a Palm.
!!!!
She looked at him, "Yasaki"
The Chunin sighed in relief as well
The Kumogakure Shinobi frowned, "Who are you", as he jumps back to gain some distance
"I am an idiot, who doesn't even know where his wife is, oh, and I am also someone who should cut his little brother into two for being stupid", He looked at her, "Isn't that right?"
She shrugged, "I'm sorry I hurt your feelings when I called you stupid, I really thought you already knew"
"..."
"Don't look at me like that, I was not insulting you. I was merely describing you.
Yasaki narrowed his eyes, "You know I wonder how you comb your hair so the horns don't show"
"You saying I am a demon?", she asked
"It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right"
She glared at him with hatred
He glared at her with hatred
"Um... Guys, Can you two do it later, Please?", The chunnin said from the back
"..."
Yasaki looked ahead, and with a poof..!! of smoke, a black sword appeared on his hand, as he stood with the sword facing down
The Kumo shinobi Sojourn chuckled, "Is she your Girlfriend or something"
"I'd rather die than having her as my Girlfriend... But yes, she is... something like that", Yasaki said with a sigh
Sojourn chuckled, "Well then, you should know that I am going to take her after I kill you"
"..."
"Get ready", He came rushing at Yasaki with Lightning Inducing Punch once again
"..."
Yasaki lifts his sword and swings his sword in Pendulum Motion Blocking the hits.
Sojourn grit his teeth as his other fist was covered in lightning as well, He jabs at Yasaki from left to right, who was merely swinging his sword in Pendulum motion.
"DAMN YOU..!!", He flipped back and made hand signs
"Lightning Style: Bullet Ball Barrage"
"Kenkanmon" (Sword Barrier)
He swings his sword in a spherical shape around his body with such speed that the sword is a blur or sometimes not even seen. As he does so, he creates after Image covering his entire body.
The Lightning Bullets came at him, but they got cut constantly. And the worst thing, The bullets were taking Kumo Shinobi's chakra. While Yasaki was spending next to nothing to block those.
He stopped attacking like this and made another hand sign.
"Earth Style: Hidden Mole Jutsu"
With a Dust cloud, Sojourn the Kumo Shinobi disappeared
Yasaki took a side step, dodging the hand that came out of the earth.
And tearing the ground, Sojourn came out, Already attacking with the Lightning Inducing punch...
Yasaki's hand blurred and the sword came in between the fist and Yasaki, Blocking the attack. Yasaki redirects the momentum behind the enemy's attack by guiding his blade to the side. Making Kumo Shinobi lose his balance.
Yasaki didn't waste any moment and slash at Sojourn, the Attack Bisected him, But with a Poof..!! of smoke, the clone disappeared
Yasaki's hand didn't stop, as he twists his wrist whilst performing a thrust to the side unexpectedly intercepting and force down the enemy's hand using the momentum.
Yasaki's sword moved through his hand and separating his neck from his body.
With a cloud of white smoke, the Clone Disappeared, and Yasaki looked up, to see him dropping on him with a Lightning covered fist.
Yasaki channels a lot of chakra to just the tip and edge of the sword. Once that is done, he blocks the attack while simultaneously releasing all of the chakra at once. It causes a shockwave to emanate from the point of contact. Making Kumo shinobi fly back.
As he flips in the air and drops to his feet. Only to see a sword sticking out of his chest.
"God... Damnit"
He rolled his eyes and vomit blood as he fell. During this entire battle, He couldn't even touch Yasaki. Who was nearing A-Rank Threat.
Yasaki looked at Mei with narrowed eyes, who flinched, "W-what"
"You are hurt, and your Chakra reserves are extremely low"
She chuckled, "What? Don't tell me you are concer--
???
She began to fell.
He took a step forward, as she fell on him.
Yasaki looked at Chunnin in the back, "Where is your Campsite"
"I can not tell you. Even if there is a treaty between Kiri and Konoha. That's just a farce. Once you show up there. They will kill you without any hesitation"
"..."
"I will take her back. It's not far from here"
"I am not giving her to you"
"..."
"It's not time to argue. Do you think Kiri will let you live once you set a foot in between them? Do you really think that we are at peace with each other. Do you really not know why she married you"
"..."
"We are not at Peace. And you two were Chess pieces for both Countries Political war. Konoha needs something from her family. And Kiri needed to be spared. It was not a marriage by love. But out of necessity. But you know that right?"
"..."
"Give her to me"
"..."
"Yasaki kun"
"..."
"Take care"
The Chunnin nodded and took her from him, as they left
He watched them leave.
With a Golden flash. Minato came
"Did you find him", Yasaki asked looking at Minato
"I picked his Chakra signature. A Km east from here. It was low, He is gravely hurt"
"..."
"And if someone is able to hurt him that deeply, Must be extremely strong, and still searching for him. Or Tou san might have killed them. While being seriously hurt", Yasaki said
"Whatever it might be. We have to reach him. Or he will die at this rate", Minato said
"Nothing will happen to Old man, He is tough as nail... Let's go", Yasaki said
Yasaki and Minato blurred to find Sakumo
