章節 39: Naruto chapter 39:
The next day passed quickly for Fuyōna as he laid out his gear and made the preparations for the mission at hand.
He took the boys to the academy as usual and went about his day to focus on the task.
Fuyōna had picked up some new gear and clothing that he had placed on order with one of the village tailors.
His new gear consisted of black trousers and black shinobi boots, with white wrapping from his ankles up to his shins.
He had a purple mist flak jacket on with a new short-sleeved long blue haori over his usual attire that had a lighter blue like flame pattern along the bottom of it that represented the Yuki clan's ice.
He also had long black sleeves that stretched onto his hands, with them cutting off at his fingers like fingerless gloves. (Cover picture clothing)
He put it all on to see how it fit, taking a look in the mirror before he pulled the haori on to see how it looked. Fuyōna had styled it like the fourth Hokages jacket but had changed the colour to blue rather than white.
It was a great fit, and Fuyōna couldn't help but feel a little more badass wearing it. For the time being, Fuyōna had taken his headband off, no longer feeling the need to wear it as his fame spoke for itself.
Once Fuyōna was done with his new gear, he decided to head out and do some food shopping as, of course, the boys and himself ate a lot of it.
If anything, he hadn't quite had a day like this since before he had died. Everything just felt so normal, and he had to admit it felt odd.
He had a lot of free time to sit and plan for every possible outcome and scenario, yet all he could think about was what he wanted to do with his life and the responsibilities that were slowly being thrust upon his shoulders.
The day passed quickly, and now both Kimimaro and Haku had returned home from the academy. They were very excited and seemed to be enjoying their new lives with him. Something that made Fuyōna happy, after all, he had acquired two very powerful appreciates.
They did the usual training, which involved some physical as well and mental exercises. Movements that they were yet to teach in the academy, but things Fuyōna felt were necessary for each of them to achieve.
Haku was made to concentrate a lot more on his chakra control to master his abilities more effectively. Kimimaro already had that down and could control his Kekkie Genkai with great authority.
Fuyōna had him focus on its application in taijutsu, honing his combat prowess against one of his ice clone's that the boy was yet to defeat.
Haku had already learned to control his chakra and from ice into shapes as he moulded it. Fuyōna had observed him as he did this. After all, it was the first step to mastering his abilities as well as an essential milestone to achieve first.
Each had fantastic potential, with both of them showing fast progress in everything Fuyōna had shown them.
Before he knew it, the night had come to an end. They had all sat at the table and eaten plenty of food as Fuyna told them some wild story of his past life.
After all of that, it was time for bed. Both the boys were exhausted from a full day at the academy and extra training with Fuyōna. They had both passed out once their head hit the pillow without a second thought.
Fuyōna left them to it and finished checking over his gear one last time before he sat down and crossed his legs.
A moment later, he opened his eyes and found himself inside his inner world with Saiken, the six tails.
"Is everything alright, Fuyōna?" Saiken asked.
"Just checking you are ready for tomorrow, my friend," Fuyōna said, crossing his arms.
Saiken nodded.
"I am ready. I will follow your lead Fuyōna, no matter where you go."The tailed beast said.
Fuyōna couldn't help but smile as he looked at the giant slug.
"Thank you, my friend." He said before retreating to reality.
The next day came around fast. Fuyōna woke the boys and gave them some breakfast before accompanying them to the academy. The village was quiet as usual. The ever-present mist hanging in the air.
Fuyōna said farewell to Kimomaro and Haku, each of them unaware of what was happening today.
Now that both the boys had been dropped off, it was time for him to meet with the other generals to start the mission.
Fuyōna arrived in the meeting place, a small dark place in town where no one wanted to go. Fuyōna was the last person to arrive, and the others were waiting on him.
Ao, Mei, Hatsu, Kaga and Ganryū we're all waiting for him as they chatted amongst themselves.
"You made it," Ao said as he noticed his presence.
Mei also smiled as she took in Fuyōnas new appearance.
"Oh my... Look at you." She said, licking her lips.
The others also acknowledged his presence and greeted him accordingly.
"Is everything in order?" Fuyōna asked.
Ao and Hatsu nodded.
"The plan is in motion as we speak," Ao said.
As they spoke, Ganryū's and Kaga's men were busy setting up a battlefield far enough away from the village that if a battle did break loose, the village would be safe from any destruction that might take place.
The idea was to make it look like a battle between the hidden mist and the hidden sand. Something worthy of the Mizukage's attention that would draw him out of the village and into the trap.
"My men will handle it," Kaga said with confidence as he flashed a smile.
"Mine too, you can count on them, Fuyōna," Ganryū said.
Fuyōna nodded as he turned his attention to Mei.
"You know what to do." He said.
She smiled, licking her lips before disappearing.
Mei's job was to be the first response to the makeshift battleground, giving a false report to the Mizukage upon his arrival.
She was well respected in the village for her ability and strength, and Fuyōna knew Yagura would not ignore a report if it came from her.
Hatsu, Kaga and Ganryū also took their leave as their job were to place squads to ambush the Mizukages men, keeping them trapped and unable to call for reinforcements.
Fuyōna and Ao now had to convince the Mizukage of the attack and bait him to the battlefield. It was a risky move, but a safer one. If it came to a battle, they couldn't risk putting the village and its people in harm's way.
Both of them arrived at the Mizukage's officer and burst through the door, showing urgency.
Yagura was shocked at their behaviour but quickly brushed it aside as he realised it was an emergency.
"Lord Mizukage, we are under attack!" Ao said as he took a knee, bowing to him.
Fuyōna also did the same as they reported to him.
"It's the sand. They have attacked our lands not far from the village. We have reports that a large force of elite sand shinobi have appeared and attacked. Captain Mei is currently facing them and was able to get a message to us." Fuyōna said, looking the Mizukage in the eyes.
Yagura was outraged and stood to his feet as he slammed his hands down onto his large mahogany desk.
"They dare attack my village! They dare attack me!"He shouted, letting his anger build.
Fuyōna waited a moment to let his rage boil even more before speaking.
"What are your orders? Shall we send a counter strike force?"
"No." Yagura snapped.
"I will go personally. Assemble my personal guard. Both of you are coming with me." He said as he grabbed his staff.
Ao bowed his head a little lower, and Fuyōna stood to his feet as he summoned the Mizukage's personal Anbu.
"What about lord Fuguki and Kisame? Shall I make them aware of the situation, my lord?" Ao asked, raising his head.
Yagura suddenly bit his lip, and his expression changed.
"Fuguki is dead." He spat.
Ao was shocked as he waited for more information about how.
"Kisame killed him for being a traitor. He then took Samehada and has fled the village, becoming a rogue ninja."
Ao was extremely surprised while Fuyōna had been confident that it would happen. However, he tried to act surprised so as not to give anything away.
"Never mind that, we must hurry," Yagura said as he slammed the bottom of his hook staff on the floor. Signalling, it was time to move out.
Fuyōna was pretty confident that whatever Genjutsu Obito used to control Yagura was one where he still acted as usual unless directed otherwise, cutting memories out when and as needed.
It was a powerful Genjutsu indeed, and he knew he would have to enter his inner world if he had any chance at undoing it.
With that said and done, Yagura asked Fuyōna and Ao to lead the way as he and his Anbu guard followed.
Yagura was, of course, the most powerful person in the village other than Fuyōna and would pose the greatest threat.
His personal guard consisted of elite Anbu members and, of course, the young Mangetsu Hozuki, who was a new addition to the seven ninja swordsmen along with Ameyuri Ringo, who had also just become the first female member of the seven swordsmen.
Both of them could easily pose as a considerable threat to everyone apart from Fuyōna and, hopefully, Mei.
Fuyōna and Ao lead the Mizukage and his men to the designated battle site they had chosen to ambush them. It was far enough away from the village that a battle wouldn't reach it.
As they arrived, the battlefield was a mess showing the aftermath of a battle, just as planned.
Mei, Kaga and Hatsu were all stood around with their units. All of them coming to attention as the Mizukage and others arrived.
"What's the situation?"Yagura asked as he took a good look around.
"Where are the hidden sands forces?" He added as he turned to look at Mei.
"The sand has retreated, my lord, but we expect them to return with reinforcements." She said, bowing her head.
Yagura took a good look around as he noticed how many of his elite shinobi were gathered around him.
"Can you confirm any other of the shinobi?" He asked, assuming they must be powerful if he was asked to come by Fuyōna and Ao.
Fuyōna could tell Yagura was getting suspicious and gave Kaga a nod to take his men back.
His and his unit's job was to prevent anyone from getting a message back to the village to ask for reinforcements. It was also to help keep a perimeter around the outside of the village to keep it safe, if possible.
Yagura didn't miss the nod and wondered what was going on. He wasn't the only one as Mangetsu could also feel something was off. Fuyōna had already noticed his genius and knew he was a powerful adversary. He had to act fast, and he had to act now.
"Sorry about this," Fuyōna said as he burst forwards faster than anyone could even see, striking the Mizukage in the centre of his stomach as he attempted to enter his inner world and break the genjutsu.
Time suddenly stopped as Fuyōna entered Yagura's inner world. It was dark and wet, completely different from his own.
Fuyōna walked for a while before he found the central area finding the three tails inside. The beast was a massive turtle-like creature with three large tails. He could tell the tailed beast was under control as it was wrapped in large chains, unable to move.
"So this is how he is being controlled," Fuyōna said as he took in the sight.
"I must say. You deserve more credit than you have. Fuyōna Yuki..."A deep voice suddenly said from the shadows.
Fuyōna turned to face who it belonged to, not surprised when he saw Obito's mask appear from the shadows.
Fuyōna smiled as he looked Obito in the eye. His hair was currently long and black, much younger than he was in the anime.
"So you are the one controlling the Mizukage." He said, deciding to play along for now.
Obito crossed his arms over his chest as he studied Fuyōna with a heavy gaze.
"You really are a clever one, Kage killer..."
Fuyōna took a step closer this time.
"Release your Genjutsu and leave my village. Obito."
Obito had turned his back on Fuyōna as he spoke to him. However, once he said his real name, his head snapped back around almost too quickly.
"How do you know that name?" He asked, not impressed.
"I know more than you think. You are impersonating Madara Uchiha, taken control of the Mizukage and even attacked the hidden leaf." Fuyōna said, this time really taking Obito off guard.
Obito was honestly shocked that Fuyōna knew so much. He remained silent for a moment before he took a step closer to the three tails, placing his hand on its body.
"You certainly know a lot about me, Kage killer." He said, turning back to face him.
"For that reason, I cannot allow you to live!" He suddenly shouted as he clapped his hands together, activating the genjutsu that controlled the three tails and Yagura.
"Now you will face my wrath!" He said as the three tails suddenly let loose a mighty roar, one that banished Fuyōna from Yaguras inner world, forcing him out.
Fuyōna opened his eyes and was quickly forced to dodge an attack from Yagura himself as he spun his hook staff around in an attempt to strike him.
Of course, he managed to jump back to safety and avoided the attack taking a ready stance. Everyone else had been so shocked at the moment that they had failed to act. However, they now knew what was transpiring.
"Treason!" Yagura shouted as his eyes faded. Showing he was now entirely under Obito's genjutsu.
Mangetsu and Ameyuri drew their blades, each wielding one of the village's seven great swords and each being extremely deadly with them.
Mei, Ao and Hatsu also took their own battle positions on Fuyōna's side as they all faced off.
"What happened?" Ao asked as he activated his Byakugan.
"I was forced out by the masked man and the three tails. He has them entirely under his control!" Fuyōna shouted as he eyed up all the potential threats.
"So, now what?" Mei asked.
"I need to get him still enough again to re-enter his inner world and break the Genjutsu."
Hatsu sighed.
"Looks like it's a fight then."
"I want them all dead! Kill them all!" Yagura shouted as he grew more outraged, seeing that they had all betrayed him.
Mangetsu and Ameyuri gave an evil smile as they readied their blades, as if they were itching to test them against a worthy opponent.
Kaga had done as he was told, and he and his men had managed to retreat so that they could hold back and prevent anyone from getting back to the village.
Ganryū held the last of their reinforcements, and they were currently holding the area ready to ambush Yagura's Anbu unit at Ao's command.
"Mei, Ao. I want you both to handle Mangetsu and Ameyuri. Think you can handle it?" Fuyōna said.
They both weighed their opponents up and nodded.
"No problem, dear," Mei said with a confident smile.
Ao simply nodded, knowing how strong Mangetsu was, not sure if he could match his abilities.
"Hatsu, back them up if you can. Have you got anyone among your units that can match these Anbu?" Fuyōna asked, almost sounding worried.
After all, the Mizukage's Anbu guards were elite ninja and no pushovers. Most of them Fuyōna didn't know about as he had been away for three years, meaning that they could have skills or abilities he didn't know about.
"Actually, there is one that comes to mind who will be able to hold his own, but," Hatsu said as he drew his sword.
"But?" Fuyōna ask.
"Well, he's Mangetsu's cousin. Kōgetsu Hōzuki."
Yagura was getting tired of talking and pointed his staff towards them.
"Kill them all!" He shouted as his squad of Anbu charged forwards, going in for the attack.
"Now!" Ao shouted as he gave the signal for the ambush.
Suddenly Ganryu and his unit of 30 shinobi appeared from all over the area and attacked the squad of 15 Anbu, taking them on with twice the numbers.
Clashes between steel broke out, water and fire clashed in the air as ninjutsu was unleashed, and the scarring of the land was set as the cries of battle erupted.
In the middle of it all stood Yagyra, the fourth Mizukage and Fuyōna Yuki, The Kage killer of the hidden mist. Fuyōna already knew he couldn't talk to Yagura as Obito's hold over him was too strong.
"I'm going to put an end to this quickly!" Fuyōna shouted as he quickly charged towards Yagura, allowing his bones to spike out, ready to attack.
Yagura quickly countered by extending his arm as he created a large water mirror. He then grabbed it with the hook at the end of his staff and pulled it, realising a clone of Fuyōna who charged to meet his own attack.
Fuyōna was matched strike for strike by his mirror image and was forced to jump back before he fired a barrage of lightning style bone bullets.
The clone didn't react to his second attack and was shredded by the lightning bullets, along with the water mirror. Yagura jumped out of the way as he started to form hand signs quickly before releasing a huge water style dragon.
Fuyōna smiled as he was impressed by the jutsu.
"Not good enough!" He shouted as he, too, made a few quick hand signs.
Quickly releasing a massive ice style dragon from his body letting it consumed Yagura's water dragon before crashing down on him.
"That's not all!" Fuyōna shouted as he clasped his hands together.
"Secret jutsu, Ice mirror trap!" He shouted as he formed ice mirrors all around the Mizukage, allowing the razor-sharp ice spikes from the dragon to explode and cause an almost never-ending rain of projectiles.
The 2nd Hokages infinite exploding paper bombs inspired this jutsu. Fuyōna had just tweaked it over the years until he had come up with a cool name.
Fuyōna could sense that Yagura had been unable to avoid the attack and now was his chance to hold him.
"If I can trap him in my ice style, I should be able to hold him for just long enough to break the genjutsu!" He thought to himself as he rushed towards Yagura, forming hand signs.
"Wind style! Gale storm!" Yagura shouted as he unleashed a massive blast of wind style chakra, waving his staff around with expert skill, blasting all of the ice away from him with ease.
Fuyōna stopped in his tracks and smiled, realizing that this battle wouldn't be a walk in the park.
"Looks like it won't be that easy," Fuyōna said as he waited and watched to see what Yagura did next.
"I'm done playing around!" Yagura shouted as he struck his staff into the ground before he clapped his hands together to focus his chakra.
Yagura suddenly became covered in a cloak of red chakra as three tails formed behind him. He had entered stage one and was now getting serious.
Fuyōna was almost excited to test his new strength against another jinchuuriki, but he had to remain serious and handle this without killing him. Meaning he would mostly be fighting while holding back.
Yagura charged towards Fuyōna, raising his fist as he intended to attack with all the chakra cloak's force. Fuyōna was prepared for this and quickly allowed his bones to spike out from all over his body.
Fuyōna attacked with his body and countered Yagura as he tried to attack him. Flipping and spinning to fast for Yagura to keep up with, he was unable to dodge any of Fuyōna's attacks, realizing he was seriously outmatched.
If not for his chakra cloak, he would have been filled full of holes already, but Fuyōna didn't intend to kill him from the start and was just trying to damage him enough so he could break the genjutsu.
"Time to test out my new jutsu." Fuyōna thought as he dodged into a back handspring before he lunged forwards with a thrust of his arm, letting a bone blade appear when and where he needed it to.
The bone blade hit Yagura in the stomach and was a clean blow, proving that Fuyōna was too quick for him. Suddenly ice started to form from where the attack had landed, blossoming like a flower petal until it covered almost half of Yagura's body.
"I call it the frozen flower dance," Fuyōna said as he flicked his blade down through the air for effect as he watched the ice fully cover the Mizukage's body head to toe.
Fuyōna took a moment to look at his handy work and walked over to the frozen Mizukage, placing a hand on the ice to try to concentrate.
"Did you think it would be that easy?" A deep voice said.
Fuyōna quickly recoiled back in surprise as the ice exploded from the force of the chakra that Yagura suddenly let out. His body had turned into a mini version of the three tail's, covered in a thick red and black chakra.
"He's already resorting to stage two?" Fuyōna said as he covered his face from the intense chakra blast.
Yagura suddenly let loose a blast of concentrated chakra and Fuyōna was forced to go on the retreat.
"Not good!" He shouted as he dodged the first one.
The explosion it created caused a colossal shockwave that even effected the battle between the Anbu and the rest of Fuyōna's forces.
Fuyōna turned to look at Yagura as he was starting to get ready to create more mini tailed beast bombs.
"I have to stop this!" He said as he formed the hand's signs, creating ice mirrors in an attempt to absorb the attacks.
Yagura fired all of the mini blast bombs at once as he was trying his best to kill Fuyōna in one hit. Fuyōna's ice mirror was able to hold as it absorbed the full tailed beast bombs. Yagura was very confused as he watched on in shock, wondering how Fuyōna had done it.
A huge explosion suddenly shook the ground from the distance as the blast bombs had been sent far away so that they would not harm any of his men that were currently battling Yagura's forces.
"I can't let this go on." He said as he watched Yagura growling on all fours, clearly enraged that Fuyōna had stopped his attack, making it look easy.
"Are you ready, Saiken? I'm going to borrow your power." Fuyōna said to his own tailed beast.
"I'm ready Fuyōna, take as much of my chakra as you need." The six tails said.
"Alright. Time to go a little wild." He said as he let the red chakra cover his own body.
"I won't hold back anymore!"

章節 40: Naruto chapter 40
The battle between the Mizukage's Anbu and Fuyōna's forces continued to rage as the sound of steel echoed through the air.
Even though Fuyōna's forces outnumbered the Anbu unit two to one, they were outmatched.
Most of Fuyōna's troops where at chunin level, with a small handful being jonin. Meanwhile, the Anbu were all elite shinobi who had been tried and tested, forging their skills on the battlefield over and over again.
"It's no good! They are too strong!" One of the ninjas shouted as he fell back with the others.
The Anbu had formed four man teams that kept a tight circle formation to cover every blind spot.
The Anbu attacked with perfectly timed taijutsu and ninjutsu combinations, leaving no time for a counter-attack.
"Look out!" Someone shouted as a large fireball and showers of shuriken rained down upon them.
The explosion shook the ground, and bodies dropped to the floor as the deadly missiles showered them.
The men's morale was dropping rapidly as they quickly realised the Anbu shinobi outclassed them in almost every way.
"No surrender!" Ganryū shouted as he pulled his men back from the brink, forming a rapid counter-attack.
The others followed his lead, and we're able to hold their own, surviving another attack from the Anbu units as they continued to blast them.
"We can't hold out much longer. We need reinforcements." Ganryū thought as he blocked an attack with his sword, pushing the Anbu back before cutting him down.
"You!" He shouted at the first ninja he could find on his side.
"Y-yes, sir?" The lad said.
"Get yourself back to captain Kaga's squad and request for reinforcements!" Ganryū shouted at him.
He didn't need to tell him twice as the lad gave a swift nod and turned on his heel to retreat. The Anbu, however, were no fools and noticed their plan right away.
"Kill that one!" The leader shouted as he pointed to the messenger.
"Don't let them attack!" Ganryū shouted
Another battle broke out as his forces tried to defend their messenger, and the Anbu wished to kill him.
Meanwhile, Mei was in a standoff with the young Mangetsu. She was amazed at his ability and could see why he had climbed the ranks so swiftly.
"Give it up, kid! The Mizukage is being controlled. You are fighting for the wrong side!" Mei shouted as she ducked under one of his attacks.
Mangestu was quick, though, and countered with a spinning kick that Mei was forced to block with her arm.
"I follow lord Mizukage's orders." He simply said as he placed his sword over his shoulder.
Mangestu was wielding Hiramekarei (the twin swords), and it was still wrapped in bandages, meaning he hasn't even gotten serious yet.
Mei knew her best bet was keeping her distance and using her ninjutsu to overcome his superior close combat prowess.
She already knew that Taijutsu wouldn't work, thanks to his Hōzuki clan ability and she would have to be careful when he got close.
Ao and Hatsu were also having trouble battling Ameyuri. She was the newest member of the seven, and it's first female member, making her even more deadly.
She held the Kiba blades and wielded them with deadly skill. The blades were thought to have been lost when Raiga became a rouge ninja. However, the blades had been stolen from him thanks to Hatsu and a team of tracker nin.
Raiga had gotten away, but the swords had been recovered, allowing Ameyuri to master them with her powerful lightning chakra release. Something Hatsu was currently regretting.
Ameyuri was a fierce opponent with her skill and wild attitude for battle, making her a severe threat to Ao and Hatsu even together.
"What's the matter, boys! can't handle me two on one?" She said as she licked her blade. Giving them a toothy smile.
Ao had already activated his byakugan, yet for all its power and vision it offered, it was no help against Ameyuri's ferocious attacks.
Ameyuri raised her swords into the air and summoned a huge lightning ball that she fired towards both of them.
Hatsu and Ao jumped out of the way, avoiding being electrocuted.
"We need to counter with a wind style!" Ao shouted.
Hatsu landed but didn't have any time to react as Ameyuri appeared behind him, slashing with each of her blades in smooth succession.
Hatsu blocked each attack with his own blade as he was forced on the defensive. Quickly Hatsu ducked and spun around in an attempt to counter.
Ameyuri was too fast and ducked under his blade as she opened her arms wide, bringing both her blades overhead and crashing down with a powerful attack.
Hatsu raised his sword to block, and his shoulders felt the pressure as they trembled from the force.
"Not so simple," Ameyuri said as she suddenly realised a massive burst of lightning chakra from her swords.
The Kiba blades easily cut through Hatsu's sword and tore through his torso like butter. Ameyuri smiled at her handy work. However, Hatsu's body suddenly turned into a log.
"Substitution," Ameyuri growled as she turned around to dodge a thrust attack from Ao.
"You dare try and fool me!" She roared as she suddenly jumped off her back foot, spinning rapidly, creating a tornado of lightning that would shred anything it touched to pieces.
Ao dashed back as he made a few quick hand signs before he fired a high-pressure stream of water of out his mouth in an attempt to halt
Ameyuri's attack.
It was just enough to push her back and Ao to get out of the way.
"Wind style, pressure slice!" Hatsu shouted as he quickly blasted two large blades of wind style chakra from his mouth.
Ameyuri saw them coming from inside her jutsu and slashed her blades, cutting them across each other to release a bolt of lighting style to meet the wind blades.
Both of the ninjutsu clashed in the air and exploded as they cancelled each other out.
"Blast, it wasn't strong enough!" Hatsu shouted, realising Ameyuri's lightning style was more potent than his wind style that held the advantage.
"We need more firepower," Ao said as he regrouped with Hatsu, both of them facing off against Ameyuri as she slowly twirled her blades.
"She is indeed a powerful foe," Hatsu said, noting she was worthy of the seven swordsmen.
Meanwhile...
"Alright, Saiken, it's time to power up!" Fuyōna said as he allowed Saiken's chakra to envelop his body sprouting all six tails from the get-go.
Yagura was currently in version two of his tailed beast state and was doing his best to eradicate Fuyōna.
"Do you not think you should also enter version two?" Saiken asked.
"I don't want to kill him if I can help it, Saiken," Fuyōna said as he readied himself for the Mizukage's next attack.
Yagura suddenly burst forward off all fours as he lunged at Fuyōna, attacking him with all of his might.
Yagura was little more than a beast now, and his attacks proved it. Swiping with his claws as he tried to rip them into Fuyōna, over and over again.
Fuyōna was to fast for him as he jumped back to avoid all of his attacks.
"He must be trying to use his coral palm." He thought as he decided to go on the counter-attack.
Fuyōna stopped a right swipe from the Mizukage with his arm and countered attacked with a massive punch amplified with wind style chakra.
The blast sent Yagura flying back through the air and crashing through the trees. Fuyōna could see the coral growing up his arm as it had taken effect.
"So, even if you touch him anywhere, it still gets you. Interesting." Fuyōna thought as he stopped the spread by growing bones out of his arm that broke it away from his skin.
"Unfortunately, I have the perfect counter to it." Fuyōna thought as he looks towards where Yagura had been sent flying.
Three large red and black tails shot out of the tree line as they headed right towards Fuyōna.
With rapid reaction speed, he jumped into the air and formed hand signs that summoned large ice spikes in a large circle around his body.
The tails acted like whips as they changed direction, trying to rip Fuyōna to ribbons, ripping the surrounding terrain apart. Fuyōna flipped and used a blast of wind style to propel him through the air to avoid the tails, one after the other.
"Now!" He shouted as he fired a load of ice spikes at the tails in an attempt to pin each of them to the ground.
The ice hit but shattered as the three tails hide was too strong for them to penetrate. The tails reacted and smashed Fuyōna through the air as he was forced to block with his arms.
Even with his own tailed beast chakra cloak and his bone defence, he could feel the force behind the attack as it broke both of his arms.
"Damn, he's stronger than he looks." Fuyōna thought as he flipped backwards and landed on the ground skidding from the force.
The tails hadn't stopped, and they darted after him like a homing missile. Fuyōna was ready for this, though, and summoned an ice mirror with one hand as he had already regrown the bones inside it.
All three of the tails went right into the mirror as it absorbed them. Fuyōna had created another mirror for them to pass out through, causing them to crash into themselves, getting tangled up form the force.
"Now!" Fuyōna thought as he saw his opportunity arise.
"Ice style, flash freeze!" He shouted as he created the hand signs, pumping a massive amount of chakra into the jutsu.
Fuyōna quickly unleashed a massive frozen wave that froze everything around it. All three of the Mizukage's tails froze in almost an instant.
This way, the Mizukage couldn't retract his tails, and they would be stuck there, giving him time to get close.
Fuyōna had used a massive amount of chakra for the jutsu, and he was now down to three tails in his first form.
Yagura let out a wicked howl of pain as he could feel his body freeze almost instantly. Instead of pulling his tails back to him, he was pulled back to them like a yoyo as he crashed through the forest, uprooting any tree he crashed into.
Fuyōna waited for him to get closer and fired a barrage of lightning enhanced bone bullets to distract him.
They did the job and hurt him before he stopped dead, crying in pain at his frozen tails.
"Now!" Fuyōna thought as he flipped over his body and reached his hand out, trying to place a seal on his body so he could enter his inner world once more.
However, the Mizukage wasn't so succumbing. At the last moment, Yagura grabbed Fuyōna's arm, stopping him in his tracks.
Fuyōna was face to face with the three tails as it growled in his face preparing to do something drastic.
Suddenly the beast ripped its frozen tails off to gain its freedom. Fuyōna couldn't pull his arm free and quickly formed a few one-handed hand signs in an attempt to free himself from it's grasp.
Ice shards suddenly rained down on Yagura, and razor-sharp bones cut into his hand, forcing him to release his grip on Fuyōna's hand.
Yagura let his jaw break as it opened as wide as it could, getting ready to unleash a massive blast of concentrated chakra, even being prepared to hit himself to take Fuyōna out.
"If he fires that thing, he could die!" Fuyōna thought as he was left with no other option.
Fuyōna closed his eyes for a moment and suddenly burst full of crimson chakra as he entered stage two.
His body had become enveloped in red and black chakra, and all six tails were waving about as his powerful aura flare to life.
Moving at speeds far greater than before, Fuyōna wrapped his body around Yagura like a coil as he started to squeeze.
Yagura's body was solid indeed but not indestructible, as Fuyōna released his acid from all over his body, making the three tails more compliant due to the burning pain.
Yagura lost his concentration, and the chakra bomb dropped, causing an explosion that sent both of them flying through the air.
Fuyōna had managed to stop him from trying to blow both of them up with a last resort move. Now he needed to stop him before he went any further.
Fuyōna glanced as Yagura flipped in the air and opened his arms in an attempt to steady himself midair.
He had a look on his face that said a thousand words, and Fuyōna didn't like any of them.
"He's going to transform again." He said to Saiken.
"Not good. You have to stop him before he does. Otherwise, this whole area will be destroyed." The six tails said.
Just as Fuyōna had said, Yagura suddenly transformed, turning into the fully giant body of the three-tailed beast.
It was an enormous turtle-like creature with a crab-like shell with spikes all over its body and three giant shrimp-like tails.
This was the second tailed beast Fuyōna had seen up close now. But he had no time to be impressed. He had to act fast if he wanted to stop the Mizukage from trying to destroy the entire area.
"I guess I have no choice!"
"Let's do it, Saiken!"
"Alright!" Saiken shouted back.
Suddenly Fuyōna transformed into the full version and all its glory of the six tailed beast. (You know what it looks like!)
Now the two tailed beasts were at a standoff, and everyone around them had been blown back from the power of their transformation.
Meanwhile, Mei had been battling against Mangetsu in and serious life or death contest. Mangestu was currently around 15 years old, but there was a reason he was called the second coming of the demon.
His ability with the sword was genuinely unique. Along with his control over water release, he was a deadly adversary. However, Mei was just as much of a threat.
Mei possed water, fire, earth and lightning release as well as two Kekkei Genkai, Lava and Boil release. She was indeed a deadly opponent, and she was about to prove why.
"I have to say Mangetsu. You really are something. But, if you don't surrender now, I won't hold back any longer." She said.
Mangetsu lifted his sword onto his shoulder. He could tell that she had been holding back up until now, but then again, so had he.
Mangetsu dropped his blade from his shoulder as he unwrapped the cloth that was around it.
Mei took note, knowing that this fight was about to get dangerous.
"So be it ", She said as she formed a few hand signs before spitting a large amount of lava towards him.
Mangetsu reacted swiftly and swung his blade with such skill that he cut through the lava style like butter. Mangetsu darted towards Mei and let his chakra surround the edge before it took the shape of a massive hammer.
Mel was shocked he had easily avoided her lava and was on her in an instant.
Mei had nowhere to go and rapidly formed a few hand signs in an attempt to stop his attack.
"Earth style, mud wall!" She shouted as she raised an earth style wall in an attempt to absorb the blow from his sword.
Mangetsu's blade smashed the earth style wall to pieces as he passed right through Meis defences. However, he had fallen right into her trap.
"Lightning style, lighting trap!" She shouted as she let her chakra surround Mangetsu in a circular lightning barrier. With his Kekkei Genkai and weakness to lightning, Mangetsu was left helpless and trapped like a rat in Mei's jutsu.
"I know all about your Hōzuki clan's ability. I'm afraid this time it wasn't enough to save you." Mei said as she formed a few more hand signs.
"Such a waste to kill a handsome man, but I'm already taken." She said as she opened her mouth and released her acid mist.
"This mist will melt even you alive, Mangetsu."
Mangetsu couldn't move due to the lightning style trap he was in. He couldn't even liquefy due to the electricity running through his body.
He could feel the acid vapour start to burn his skin as it's effects got stronger and stronger.
With one final attempt to save his life, Mangetsu pumped all of his remaining chakra into his sword, trying to get it to attack Mei.
It was no good. Mei had already seen this coming and stopped his attempt with lighting style that hit his wrist, preventing him from gripping his sword.
"Now melt away," Mei said as she blew a kiss of deadly acid vapour.
Suddenly an explosion not far away gave off a shock wave that cleared the acid mist and disrupted the ground, ending the lightning style on Mangetsu, freeing him.
Both Mei and Mangetsu were blown back by the shock wave, but Mangetsu did his best to seize the opportunity by firing a clip of water bullets at Mei.
Mei was so shocked by the sudden explosion that she had lost her footing even before the shock wave had knocked her back. She flipped in the air and watched the water bullets head her way to late. As one of them ripped through her left shoulder.
Mei screamed as the pain set in before she crashed to the ground, rolling into a heap, clutching her wound.
Mangetsu landed smoothly and regained his sword. Splitting the blade into two half's this time as he intended to finish Mei with one blow.
He had already learnt his lesson and didn't intend to give Mei another chance to use her lightning style or acid mist.
"Time for you to die!" Mangetsu shouted as he raised both of his blades, covering them in chakra.
Suddenly another huge shock wave hit as this time two huge tailed beasts suddenly appeared, ripping the terrain close to them to shreds and blasting everything away, including Mei and Mangetsu.
Further away, Hastu and Ao were facing off against Ameyuri. The female swordsmen proved to be a mighty foe as her control over lightning style was too strong for them to handle.
Ameyuri could wild lightning style from her body and swords without the need for hand signs. She could even summon lightning from the clouds above.
"Lightning style, thunder gate!" She shouted as she struck her swords into the ground.
Thunder and lightning crackled and roared, blasting down from the sky towards Hatsu and Ao.
"Look out!" Ao shouted as he jumped back to avoid the lightning bolt.
Hatsu did the same, and both of them took cover in the trees, hoping she wouldn't be able to see them.
Ao was smart, as a leader of tracker ninja and Anbu captain. He had dealt with all sorts of foes. However, he had never fought such a proficient user of lightning style and struggled to develop a plan.
Hatsu could use wind style, but as shown, he wasn't skilled enough in its use to combat her lightning.
Their only option was to set out a trap that would either disarm her or trap her movements long enough to get a counter-attack in.
Ao started forming hand signs and created three water clones. A water clone was a basic jutsu, yet more advanced than the ordinary clone jutsu, as a water clone had psychical mass. However, it was only one-tenth as potent as the user, meaning they were only good as a distraction.
Hatsu caught on to what Ao was doing and decided to play along as he created three water clones himself.
Ao allowed his clones to run off into different parts of the forest, with Hatsu doing the same. The clones would cover the tree line trying to confuse Ameyuri as to where their actual whereabouts were. Becoming a valuable distraction.
Hatsu's clones did the first part as they rained kunai down upon Ameyuri. The projectiles served as nothing more than a pest to her as she blocked them with her swords.
"There you are!" She shouted as she let loose a lightning strike towards Hatsu's clone.
She wasn't sure if she hit her target and tried to get closer to confirm it.
"You won't get away from me!"
Ao quickly darted out of the bushes and attacked, aiming for her vitals with his senbon needles. Ameyuri turned around and blocked his first strike before dodging his second attack.
Ameyuri slashed with both blades in a counter-attack and cut Ao in half with ease.
"Why you! No one tricks me!" She shouted as she watched his body turn into a water clone.
"Now!"
"Wind style, air bullet!"
"Water style, water bullet!" Both Ao and Hatsu shouted as they fired a combine jutsu mixing wind and water together.
Ameyuri raised her swords in defence.
"Lightning style, depth charge!" She shouted as her body became enveloped in lightning, protecting her from the blast of water and wind.
The force of the jutsu blew her back and both Ao and Hatsu retreated back into the forest, taking cover once again.
"How dare you!" Ameyuri shouted as lightning crackled off her body in her rage.
"I never lose my prey!" She said as she crossed her blades over each other, taking a kneeling position.
Ameyuri suddenly rushed into the forest, letting lightning bolts shoot out all over the place in an attempt to hit anyone who might be hiding.
Ao noticed this and was becoming worried that his trap might not work now.
"Only one option left." He thought as he gave Hatsu a nod.
Both of them had laid out an explosive trap that would result in her capture with conductive metal wire. But the entire plan counted on weather or not they could disarm her.
Ao jumped from his cover and threw a handful of shuriken to distract her.
"There you are!" She shouted as she let her lightning lose, zapping him on the spot as well as stopping the shuriken.
Ao's body burst into water, and another hm appeared further away.
"Over here!" He shouted as he made some rapid hand signs.
"Water style, high-pressure arrow!" He shouted as he blasted arrow-shaped water blasts from his mouth.
The blasts pressure was strong enough to rip through a tree trunk, and Ameyuri didn't want to chance it by trying to block them.
She swiftly jumped out of the way of the attacks and spun around rapidly in a circle towards Ao, ready to cut him in half.
"Die, traitor!" She shouted as she zapped him with a massive blast of lightning style from her swords, dropping his body toward the ground.
"Another clone!" She shouted as she looked up, getting ready for the next attack.
"Not this time..." Ao said as he fired another water arrow from his mouth.
The blast was no way near as powerful as the others, but it caught Ameyuri off guard.
"What! He wasn't a clone!" She shouted as she had no choice but to cross her swords across her body in an attempt to block the attack.
The water arrow was a direct hit, and it knocked Ameyuri into the air from the force. She was stunned from the blast just long enough for Hatsu to get behind her as he wrapped the metal wire around her body.
Ameyuri realised what was going on and slashed one of her blades behind her in a desperate attempt to get Hatsu away from her.
It worked as she cut his left arm, leaving a large gash in his bicep. Hatsu bit through the pain and quickly kicked Ameyuri in the ribs before wrapping the wire around her wrist.
Ameyuri had failed to defend against his kick and fallen for his plan, but with a quick burst of lightning, she zapped Hatsu and sent him flying before he smashed into a tree.
Ameyuri landed on the ground and tried to undo the wire that had been wrapped around her waist and left hand, but it was no good as Ao pulled it with all his might.
Ameyuri was pulled through the air while her left sword was ripped out of her hand and stuck into the ground.
"Now, Hatsu, do it now!" Ao shouted.
Hatsu pulled himself up best he could and pulled out an explosive tag that was wrapped around a kunai. He threw it as hard as he could, and it landed on the target, just making the mark before he fell back against the tree.
Ameyuri had been pulled by the wire through the air, and from what she could see, was towards an explosive tag filled trap.
She couldn't cut the metal wire, and even her lightning style couldn't break it. With little to no time to react, she did the only thing she could.
"Thunder gate!" She roared as she summoned a massive amount of lightning style. Pumping as much chakra into it as she could.
The lightning struck the ground just as Hatsu's kunai hit its mark, and the two created an explosion that covered the entire area taking all three of them out together in the consuming light.
That's the end of this chapter! I do hope you enjoyed it!
