章節 39: Fight

The old man led me and the crew over to a large arena - similar to the Chunin exams arena, where there were already quite a few Kaguya Clansmen in the stands and increasing

"I never got your name old man?"

He looked over to me and smiled "Kimimaro Kaguya" Was all he said before heading to the center of the grounds

I stood back, shocked

'So Kimimaro in the Canon was named after this elder? Wow..'

I snapped out of my thoughts and ran to the center

Kimimaro looked at me "One Match, First to surrender loses"

I gave a nod

"Good" Was a he said before charging at me

My eyes widened at the man's speed, but mine was still higher along with the benefit of my rinnegan

I flipped to the side, out of the way of his bone punch

It looks like he uses taijutsu in conjunction with his bones, similar to how wolverine did in the first movie

His bone claws scratched empty air as I came up from behind delivering a devastating kick to his back

He was sent flying, making a crater in the large arena walls

I set my foot down carefully, he made a bone spike last minute to Pierce my shin

"You're powerful, old man!" I yelled at him with a large grin

Kimimaro came out of the crater with only a few scuffs and a matching grin

"So are you young one!"

I charged him again and we started delivering a series of taijutsu blows to each other

Strong Fist V. Clawed Fist

We went on with taijutsu for hours - blow after blow, before the old man started to get tired

"My chakra is running out...?" He muttered, trying to catch his ragged breath

I stood across from him "That's my special ability, I can absorb chakra from any source and use it to fuel myself" It was really just a different application of the Preta Path, but who needs to know that?

"So that's why you're looking perfectly fine, after all this time..." He muttered

I nodded "It's quite an ability to have"

He nodded back "It seems that this match goes to you.. I surrender"

The Kaguya erupted into an outrage at that

"WHAT THE HELL??"

"THIS FOREIGNER TRASH COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE BEATEN THE ELDER! HE CHEATED!!"

"KILL HIM!!!"

I looked at Kimimaro and he nodded

"SILENCE!!!!"

The whole arena went dead silent in the matter of a second

Kimimaro looked at all of them "This young man beat me fair and square, I've lost this match.."

They all nodded, but it was obvious that they still believed I cheated or something

Tough luck to them, I'm a ninja - we're supposed to cheat, hehe

I began to walk out until a hand grabbed my shoulder from behind

I turned around and saw Kimimaro looking at me with calculating eyes

"If we go with you.." he started off "If want you to promise on your life that you won't hurt them against their will..."

I looked at him in silence before turning around completely and looking him straight in the eye, putting my hand over my chest

"I swear on my life and soul that I will not harm any of the Kaguya clan against their knowing and unknowing will, unless in a time of necessity.." I said with conviction

The old Kaguya smiled and patted my shoulder

"Seems I was right in making an alliance with you, child. You have the Kaguya Clan on your side"

I smiled "Thanks Old man!!"

We talked a bit after that, small talk, and at the end he told me that he would have the entire clan packed and ready to go by next week, and should arrive at the base in a months time

"It's a shame that we can't take the grounds with us though. This place has been our home for the past 500 Years.." Kimimaro said sadly

I looked up at him "You can though? Me or my uncle can design a seal to store up all of your buildings and stuff so you can easily carry them with you and unseal them back at the vilage"

He looked at me in shock "Seals can do that?? I know the Uzumaki were powerful, but to be able to do that.."

"Old Man, the Uzumaki could seal up the tailed Beasts like they were nothing. Hell, the first Uzumaki sealed the founder of chakra into the moon" Technically I wasn't lying - Hagoromo was the first Uzumaki

The old man just shook his head and walked off

I walked off too, to round up the crew to get the next clan

Nanami was busy talking to the research division of the Kaguya

"So you guys can manipulate bones right? How hard can you make them? Can they turn into any other substance?? How about metals???"

I sighed and walked up to her

"...We can make them as hard as steel, no we can't turn them into any other substance-"

"Nanami, come, it's time to go. You can talk to these guys later, but not now" I grabbed her collar and dragged her off while she cried and anime tears

Natasha was next, talking to the T&I "What kind of torture methods do you have? Seals-?"

"Tasha" I called her

She embarrassedly gave her goodbyes and joined up with me

"I'll show you a seal later for interrogation once you get to level 4"

Her eyes widened slightly and gave me the slightest of grins

Kushina was just chilling with Tobirama at the front, easily taken out

We gave our goodbyes and left for the next clan

The Yuki were exactly the same as the Kaguya only not as bloodthirsty

I had a match with their clan head, Haku (Coincidence?) Utterly decimated him and secured an alliance with them too

That was really the cycle for the rest of the clans in Kiri

Hozuki, Gomo (Boil Release Clan), Terumi (Lava Release), a Poison clan that had a sort of Poison Release similar to Hanzo's poison mist - the Mitara clan

The Mitara clan head was actually quite difficult to beat as his poison was as potent, if not more potent, than Hanzo's

There was also a Plant Release Clan, and a branch of the Kumo clan of the storm release who could manipulate red hot lasers - possibly the normal storm release with a fire affinity mixed into it? And a couple of other small clans as well - parents of the next seven swordsmen and stuff like that

They all agreed to an alliance with us alliance and were to travel with us to our base at the end of the week

Everything took almost two days, Minato learning seals, and me training them in nature transformation when I was free - Cutting, Burning, Soaking, Shriveling, and turning a leaf to dust

At the end of the week, all of the clans were gathered together

"Is everyone ready to go?!" Tobirama shouted with a chakra enhance voice

An overwhelming 'yes' sounded through all of the clan members

I grinned

"Let's go then!"
