Chương 69: The Rescue Mission Battle Part 3
(SLASH!!)
Kimimaro's eyes widened.
(Crack!) The bone hilted sword snapped in two with a clean cut across each surface.
"WHAT?" Kabuto lost his composure, following which Orochimaru placed his arm on him.
Kabuto turned to look at Orochimaru, only to see an expression of pure pleasure…
"Hmph!" Sasuke smirked as he saw the sword snap in two.
"I already told you."
"I will break that bone of yours." Sasuke proudly declared as he stared at Kimimaro who was on kneeling down on the sand.
Kimimaro lost his calmness.
("His thunder nature chakra is really troublesome!") Kimimaro thought as he gritted his teeth.
(Cough!)
(Cough!)
Kimimaro vomited a bit of blood from his mouth onto the hand he used to cover his mouth.
("My time is running out.")
("I don't wish to admit it!") Kimimaro calmed himself down once again, following which he stood up.
"Hmph!"
"I thought you were very powerful from how much you boasted about the strength of your bones,"
"Turns out you are just an average ninja with a Kekkei Genkai," Sasuke said with a hint of disdain in his voice which was also meant to provoke Kimimaro.
Kimimaro got into his battle stance once again, only this time he did not have his sword with him.
< Third Dance - Dance of the Larch! >
Kimimaro announced, upon which several bones started to pop-out all over his body.
("What the hell!")
("How many bones can he create at a time?") Sasuke thought as he looked at Kimimaro's appearance.
"Prepare yourself!" Kimimaro said as he launched off the ground in full speed towards Sasuke with a silent but deadly battle intent.
Sasuke brought his sword to the front, while he clad himself and the sword in lightning-natured chakra.
(Whoosh!) Kimimaro's speed increased abruptly as though he had teleported.
(Clang!) Sasuke's sword parried with one of the bones that surrounded Kimimaro's right hand.
("WHAT?")
("His bone's density increased?") Sasuke thought while feeling vibrations from the impact that had just occurred, down his sword hilt to his entire body.
(Crack!) Kimimaro felt his bone almost wanted to give in to the pressure from Sasuke's attack.
"Hmph!" Kimimaro snorted as he followed through by rotating his body.
(Slash!)
(Slash!) (Slash!) (Slash!)
(Slash!) (Slash!)
(Slash!) (Slash!)
"AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Sasuke groaned in pain, with wounds opening up all over his body due to Kimimaro's numerous bones tearing his skin apart in different places, all over his body…
(Bang!) Sasuke fell on the ground after sliding a few meters from the force of the impact he had received.
"SASUKE!" Naruto and Kakashi rushed to the front, only to be blocked by Orochimaru and Kabuto.
"Damn it!" Naruto stared at Orochimaru who blocked him; meanwhile, Kakashi had heaved a sigh of relief.
("Just as per Naruto's intended plan Orochimaru is now facing him, while I am facing four-eyes!") Kakashi thought as he looked at Kabuto who was right in front of him…
,
"Naruto!"
"Why don't we continue our match from before in the forest?" Orochimaru asked.
Naruto looked towards the battlefield where Sasuke was fallen.
At this moment, Sasuke started to get up slowly…
"I don't want you to disturb their match!"
"Follow me, we will fight somewhere else," Orochimaru said as he dragged Naruto away.
However, before Orochimaru brought Naruto away…
He stopped following which he turned towards the direction where Rasa was at.
"The Fourth Kazekage of the Hidden Sand!" Orochimaru called out.
Rasa who was standing outside of his palanquin and watching the battlefield in front of him turned towards Orochimaru with a slight frown appearing across his face.
"Orochimaru!"
"You still dare to call me?" Rasa asked.
"Weren't we planning to destroy the Hidden Leaf?" Orochimaru asked.
("Damn it!")
("Looks like these three will also turn against me…") Rasa cursed.
"Don't worry Kazekage-sama!"
"We are aware of the 'Destruction Of the Leaf Plan'!" Kakashi said, upon which Kabuto reacted by taking out his kunai.
Kakashi also took out his kunai as he defended Kabuto's strike.
"If you plan to fight along with us against them, the treaty still holds," Kakashi warned.
Rasa's expression turned up for the better.
"OROCHIMARU!!" Rasa called out in anger as he ran towards the place where Orochimaru and Naruto were standing.
("Damn it!") Orochimaru cursed after witnessing his plan to turn the Kazekage, and the leaf ninjas against each other had failed.
He then brought a scroll to the front and unraveled it.
(POOF!!)
A small cloud of smoke appeared from the scroll, following which it revealed a figure.
("Lord Third!") Rasa stared at the dead figure.
He instantly regretted giving the body back then to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru formed a single hand seal as he set the Jutsu in motion.
—————————————
Back on top of the Sand Dune…
"WHAT?" Sasori stared at the scene that was taking place.
"What happened, my man?" Deidara asked upon seeing Sasori freak out.
"Deidara! Wait until I give the signal to go to the battlefield!" Sasori said as he continued watching the fight.
——————————————
Back on the battlefield.
Sasuke, Kimimaro, Kakashi, Naruto, Kabuto, Orochimaru, and the others watched the figure in front of The Third Kazekage Rasa with great curiosity.
("Not Good!")
("Who is this guy?") Naruto thought since he had already witnessed reanimation jutsu before.
Meanwhile, Kakashi and the other Sand jounins stood dumbfounded.
"That's the Third Kazekage of the Iron Sand!" Kakashi said.
The Third Kazekage was a tall man of fair complexion. He had short mess dark-blue hair and narrow yellow eyes. He wore the standard Kazekage attire minus the Kage hat plus a flowing ankle-length white cape.
After studying the jinchūriki of Shukaku of the time, he recreated its sand-manipulating powers by combining his own magnetic chakra and iron powder, which produced the Iron Sand technique.
The eye of the Reanimated Third Kazekage opened.
"Where am I?" The Third Kazekage asked as he looked about.
"Argh!" The Third Kazekage felt his headache.
————————— Flash Back ——————————
Orochimaru looked at Kabuto who sealed the Third Kazekage into a scroll.
"Kabuto!"
"We are not going to use the new Reanimation just onto him," Orochimaru said.
"…" Kabuto stared at Orochimaru with an expression of a question mark.
"We know that the new reanimation Jutsu is powerful,"
"But it would be a waste of a test run, without having the first reanimation Jutsu undergo its test run."
"That way we'd understand the true power difference between the two jutsus and also the unforeseen circumstances that it may lead to…" Orochimaru explained.
"Understood!" Kabuto unsealed the Third Kazekage and reverted the Jutsu back to its original form.
————————-End of Flashback——————————
Soon the Third Kazekage regained his very calm and stoic demeanor from the time when he was alive, which also complimented his emotionless state that had been activated by the kunai with a red talisman that was implanted in his back.
Rasa felt like he just saw the Kazekage like he was in his prime.
("This is bad…")
("My Gold Dust technique can barely be compared against the strength of his iron sand technique.") Rasa thought as he stared at the undead Kazekage that was walking towards him…
"Let's Go!" Orochimaru said as he jumped away from the battlefield followed by Naruto.
Naruto stared once again at Sasuke who finally regained his breath as he nodded towards Naruto, indicating that he can take care of himself.
Naruto finally left the battlefield without any worries.
…..
(Clang!) two large kunais parried.
Their respective wielders were Kakashi and Kabuto.
Kabuto stared at Kakashi…
"So, how did you guys figure out about our plans?" Kabuto asked.
"…" Kakashi stared at Kabuto silently.
"All right!"
"If you want me to find out that information the hard way…"
"Then the hard way it is!" Kabuto said as he overpowered Kakashi a bit, to let loose in the last moment.
Kabuto took advantage of this small gap in power to retrieve his kunai, which he used once again to slash at Kakashi repeatedly.
Kakashi dodged all the attacks quickly.
Overall, Kakashi and Kabuto were equally matched regarding 'Taijutsu' . Kakashi could dominate Kabuto using various ninjutsus or just activating his Sharingan to deal with him, while Kabuto only had his medical ninjutsu as an advantage when it came to a battle of attrition.
.....
Meanwhile, Kimimaro turned towards Sasuke.
"Are you going to stand up or not?" Kimimaro asked.
Sasuke frowned,
< Sharingan! >
Sasuke activated his eyes.
("That's the Kekkei Genkai, Orochimaru-sama wants!") Kimimaro stared at Sasuke's three tomoe Sharingan eyes.
"Come!" Kimimaro gestured towards Sasuke.
Sasuke sheathed his sword back into its scabbard.
"Huh?" Kimimaro stared at Sasuke.
Sasuke half kneeled on the floor and brought his left hand out, following which he placed his right hand over it.
(Bzz!)
A strange electricity buzzing sound came about
(Bzz!)
.
(Bzz!)
(Bzz!)
(Bzz!) (Bzz!)
(Bzz!) (Bzz!) (Bzz!)
(Bzz!) (Bzz!) (Bzz!) (Bzz!)
Sasuke raised his head as he looked towards Kimimaro.
