The mood in the high council room was cold and dark as danzō sat with a firm scowl on his face, "Do we have Anything on the man who took the Senju" he asked. Koharu rose from her seat with a document in her hand, "From looking over the surveillance from the gate from the pass few days.. We found him and a woman entering the village.. His name is Mitusomi Kiriyu and the woman Isane Kotetsu but based on the chakra sensor the woman is actually Mei Terumi.. Who came here for aide in Kiri" she explains. Sasuke tsks with a glare at the photos, "When can I go after them" he states. Danzō glances his way with a look, "You'll do no such thing.. This Kiriyu defeated you and Fū escaping with a speed not seen since the Yondaime.. I will not go into this unprepared" he states. Sasuke folded his arms with a scowl, "So what will we do.. Once word gets out the Senju whore is free" he states.
"Tsunade is no threat to Konoha at this point but I know where they will go" danzō comments. Sasuke arches an eyebrow, "How so" he asks. Danzō rises from his seat and sasuke follows him to the Hokage office, "Those seals on Tsuande need to be broken.. There is one place this Kiriyu can go.. With Jiraiya in hiding" he says. Sasuke lets a slight smirk from on his face, "Orochimaru" he thought. Danzō took a seat at his desk, "The snake will do the work for us but I'll Send Sai to retrieve their corpses" he states.
"I'm still going with them.. This Kiriyu has declared war on us.. We must crush him now" sasuke said. Danzō stares at his apprentice, "Have the Akatsuki made any moves" he asks, changing the subject.
"None our mole says they're starting to go after the other Jinchūriki but are weary to move on Fū yet" sasuke explains. Danzō rubs his chin with a thinking pose, "Doesn't the leader possess the Rinnegan" he says and sasuke nods, "If we play our cards right.. It will come into our possession" he adds. A smirk forms on sasuke's face as he leaves danzō's office, "And it'll be mine" he thought. Sasuke left the tower but was greeted by a platinum blonde with blue eyes but one covered by her hair, with a purple rhombus on her forehead.
"Ino" sasuke curtly said. Ino wore a high collar purple blouse with black booty shorts under a purple skirt, with a slit up the front and sides, black shinobi heels and black trenchcoat.
"Hello Sasuke-kun" ino coos. Sasuke pulls ino close with a lewd and deep kiss as onlookers watched, "I heard the Hag escaped" she spat.
"For now but her days are numbered" sasuke says, as they head for the Uchiha district arm in arm. As the days passed rumors surfaced of tsunade's escape and the bounty on mitsuomi and mei's head. The news even reached shizune and kakashi, the former kunoichi thanking Kami and praying for her surrogate mother and Otōto to be safe.

Tsunade was not in a good mood and the source was sitting across from her, stuffing his pretty face with food and drinks. Tsunade had awoken from her fainting spell in a hotel just inside Hot-Water country with mitsuomi and mei. The former hokage couldn't believe her naruto, the hyperactive blonde and future hokage was alive after five years. Gone was the blonde hair, replaced with black hair and his whiskers replaced by defined cheekbones but his eyes. Those ocean blue orbs were gone and replaced by steel-blue and gold but the gold held a black sclera with a scar running from his forehead down his cheek and over the eye. Mitsuomi as he introduced himself, told her his tale and tsunade couldn't believe what she was hearing as was mei but the sannin tried not to accept it. Tsunade sipped her tea but stares as her reflection in a window, no longer did she look in her late twenties, early thirties but now her late forties, early fifties to supplement her chakra to heal her injuries and recoup her strength, including dyeing her hair white to avoid suspision.
"At best I'm a Chūnin in terms of chakra till these damn seals come off" tsunade thought and glances to the third of the trio. Mei was enigma to her, due to helping mitsuomi liberate her but tagging along with them for the chance of him helping her in Kiri. The last senju sighed as she finished her tea, "What makes you think the Snake can remove these seals" tsunade comments. Mitsuomi swallows his last bit of stew, "He'd better or his Immortality is gonna get tested" he shot. Mei snorts with a smile as they place the money on the table but none were aware, well two were unaware. A young man sat near them, dressed in black with wide lense glasses and silver hair in a ponytail.
"So They are searching for Orochimaru-sama" the man thought and dispels. In sound country the same young man opened his eyes, "What is it Kabuto" a voice states. Kabuto glances to his left to a young woman with bluish hair, "Well its seems Guren that Tsuande Senju is free and coming here to have several seals removed" he states.
"No one has seen Tsunade in five years" guren says. Kabuto adjusts his glasses and stands up, "Apparently she was to be executed in Konoha but the two with her rescued her" he explains. Guren follows kabuto as they traverse several halls until they reach a large room, with various things but a throne in the center. Upon the throne sat orochimaru himself, "Kukuku.. What is Kabuto" he asks.
"Tsunade is free and is coming to Oto with two others" kabuto explains. Orochimaru take a thinking pose but a smirk forms, "I see more than likely to break the seals put on her by Danzō.. What of the two with her" he asks.
"One is Mei Terumi from Kiri user of the Vapuor and Lava Kekkei Genkai and the other is an unknown male.. He has virtually no chakra but one thing is odd.. His left eye has a black sclera and a golden iris" kabuto explains. Orochimaru arched an eyebrow but shook his head, "I see.. We'll wait for them to arrive but have some men ready" he orders and both bow. A few days later the trio of mitsuomi, mei and tsunade arrived at the entrance to Otogakure but the shinigami noticed a team of twenty just at the edge of his senses, "Konoha already.. You guessed right" zetsuei said. The entrance was near a clearing and dug into the ground with metal doors but waiting for them were Oto-nin and a young man with silver hair.
"So Tsunade graces our presence" kaubto muses and the men laugh. The oto-nin were dressed the same, with black pants and long grey shirts and masks over their faces. Tsunade stepped forward with a serious look on her face, "Kabuto bring out that Lecherous Snake" she shouts. An ominous chuckling filled the forest as orochimaru emerges from the ground next to kabuto, "Kukuku.. To what do I owe the pleasure Tsunade-Hime" he says, with a sickening sweet tone.
"Cut the Shit Orochimaru.. I want you to remove several seals Konoha put on me" tsunade states and orochimaru chuckles, "And why would I do that for our old team bond perhaps..you have nothing to offer me" he sneers. The oto-nin start to move around them but mitusomi steps forward, "Then how About the thing you have eluded you for the last Five years.. The thing you covet the most Sasuke Uchiha" he states. Orochimaru's eyes narrow as mitsuomi stood with his hands in his pockets, "Quite the Cocky one you've found Tsuande-Hime but judging by his Chakra its a baseless threat" he says.
"O-tto!.. Its seems negotiations have broken down.. So Orochimaru you have two choices.. Either Help Tsunade or end up like your Men" mitsuomi says. Orochimaru narrows his eyes once again but they slowly widen as all his men except kabuto were dead in various manners.
[song playing...Stardust crusaders-Approach]
Mitsuomi titled his head as he stood before orochimaru as the snake sannin was stunned silent, "Have you Changed your Mind yet" mitsuomi croons. Tsunade and mei were quiet as well but the senju was slackjawed, "When did he" she thought. Kabuto was about to charge mitsuomi with a chakra scapel but mitsuomi points and wags a finger, "Stay right where you are Kabuto or I'll do Some Damage you won't be able to fix" he states. Orochimaru shoots snakes out of his sleeve but mitsuomi never blinks as they were cut pieces, along with the ground in several places.
"You know when people assume that I'm not a threat" mitsuomi says and pauses with a smirk, "I show you them that I AM" he adds and flares his reiatsu. Tsuande and mei gasp as a purple with black tinted aura surges around mitsuomi, cracking the ground some and dropping both orochimaru and kabuto to their knees. Kabuto struggles even to stay conscious, "What is This?!.. Chakra isn't this powerful.. Its has even the air hard to breathe" he thought. Orochimaru was having similar thoughts as he struggled to even keep his head off the ground, "Now then so there is no confusion.. You're going to help Tsunade" mitsuomi says and squats down. Mitsuomi only had his hollow eye open, "Blink once for yes or twice for No" he says and the snake sannin blinks once. Mitsuomi pops up and relents his reiatsu as orochimaru and kabuto gulped down precious air, "Good" mitsuomi states. [song ends]
Orochimaru gets to feet with a glare but mitsuomi had a slight smirk, "Follow me" he hissed. Mitsuomi turned to tsunade and mei but both had shocked expression on their faces, "Gomen" mitsuomi says, rubbing his head and a smile on his face. Tsunade gasps again at the smile and she saw a visage of naruto. The former blonde slowly followed mitsuomi and mei as orochimaru was stewing at the entrance, traveling inside they saw numerous oto-nin were dead or passed out from mitsuomi's power, even a bewlidered guren was found as they reached orochimaru's throne room. Mitsuomi stood arms folded and mei was next to him, "How did you do that" she asks.
"Remember I said I can use pure spirit power.. Well thats my Reiatsu" mitsuomi says. Orochimaru stands before tsunade, "Show me the seals" he states. Tsunade opened her white with red trim kimono blouse that reached her knees and started channeling her chakra. Two seals appeared on her wrists and one her chest, allowing the snake to look over them with a calulating eye.
"Hmm.. I can break the one on your chest to give you full use of your chakra but the ones on your wrists have run their course.. They have damaged chakra coils.. Even your skill can't fix them.. At best you'll be Low-level Jōnin" orochimaru states. Tsunade's honey orbs widen as mitsuomi clenches his fist, "Is there a way to fix it" he asks.
"I dont have the knowledge of Fūinjutsu as much as my teammate Jiraiya but I doubt he could.. Kabuto remove the seal on her chest" orochimaru states. Kabuto adjusts his glasses and approaches tsunade but mitsuomi places a finger on his head, "Go ahead" he says. Kabuto glares as he starts to focus his chakra and the seal glows, before flaking away and the seals on her wrists fade as well. Mitsuomi glances to tsunade, "How do you feel" he asks.
"Better but the prospect of being unable to use my full chakra is tough" tsunade states. Mitsuomi gave her a hug from behind, "Don't worry Granny.. We'll find a way to fix" he said and tsuande glares. Orochimaru clears his throat, "Now that the seals are gone.. You may leave" he says but jerks as mitsuomi gives him a half hug, "You know for a Lecherous bodystealing Pedophile.. You're not half bad.. In fact once I'm done with Konoha I'll give you Sasuke but dont think for a minute that once you have his body..that you can match me.. You'll never be stronger than me" he says, in an even and chirpy tone. Tsunade adjusted her top with a slight bow to orochimaru as mitsuomi and mei step out.
"What do we do Orochimaru-sama" kabuto asks. Orochimaru glares at mitsuomi's retreating form, "Nothing.. We do nothing for now" he states. Mitsuomi, tsunade and mei reached above ground as clouds were in the sky, "So what now" mei asks. Mitsuomi rubs his head and glances to tsunade, "Dunno without fully functioning coils.. You can't use your forehead thingy huh" he states. Tsunade sighs softly with a nod, "No I still have my flawless control but its useless if my coils can't take the chakra I will gather to use my Sōzō Saisei" she explains.
"Is There a way to fix your coils" mei asks but tsunade shakes her head, "Unless you can find another me out there" she replies, running her fingers through her white locks, as they took off for the border.
#X#X#
The three reached the border of Oto, Hot-Water and Hi-no Kuni, when suddenly a large purple skeletal fist smashes into mitsuomi and kicks up a plume of dust. Tsunade and mei kick back as several Ne and sai emerge from the trees but it was the owner of the fist that shocked them. Sasuke emerges from the treeline with the susanoo ribcage around him and his EMS shining, "Time To DIE" he shouts and swings the arm. Tsunade raises her arms to block but mei gets in front of her, however shockingly mitsuomi phases in front of them and catches the fist with his left hand. The bandages and glove on his hand ripped away to reveal his hollowfied arm as he digs a rut in the dirt.
"Impressive Sasuke but Not Good enough" mitsuomi states. Mei and Tsunade were stupfied at the display of strength from mitsuomi but sasuke was seething, "How can he be holding off my Susanoo?!" he thought. Sasuke dispels his susanoo with a serious look as he leaked his Ki but mitusuomi held a smirk on his face as the tension seem to rise. Sasuke suddenly blurred from sight with his chokuto screeching with electricity but mitsuomi folded his arms, "Mitsuomi?!" tsunade shouts. However sasuke's blade collides with an invisible force from the right, then left and front as sasuke kicks back.
"What the Hell?!.. Was that Fūton Jutsu" sasuke thought. Mitsuomi slowly drew zetsuei and blurs forward with a downward swing and sasuke swings up to block but the uchiha's knees nearly buckle from mitsuomi's swing, "What Physical power and he's only using one hand" he thought. Mitsuomi broke through sasuke's guard and goes for a gatotsu strike but the uchiha kawarim'd with one Ne to spare himself. Sasuke shot behind mitsuomi with his chidori charging but mitsuomi dodges below and slams the dull end of zetsuei into sasuke's back and sends him into a tree, however the uchiha reacts and slams his boots into the bark.
"Should We Assist Sasuke-sama" sai asks, with a fake smile. Sasuke glares as the pale teen, "Stay outta my Way" he shouts. Sasuke sprints forward as mitsuomi remains rooted with a lazy hold on zetsuei.
"Its like He's not even trying" mei remarks, as mitsuomi dodges sasuke. Tsunade watched with bated breath, "He isn't" she asks and mei nods, "I heard the Uchiha was a elite swordsmen but Mitsuomi makes him look like an amatuer" she notes. Sasuke growls in anger as mitsuomi dodges his attacks with ease, "Katon: Fireball Jutsu" he shouts, spewing forth a large ball of fire. Mitsuomi phases out of its path, to kill several Ne and sprints toward sasuke but the uchiha backpedals and tosses up his sword into several signs, "Katon: Phoenix flower Jutsu" he shouts. Mitsuomi easily dodges the numerous flames but sasuke summons his susanoo once again, "Die" sasuke shouts, creating the upper half of his giant with its bow trained. Mitsuomi suddenly phases above the giant with both hands on zetsuei and swings down, cleaving off one of susanoo's arms as sasuke screams in pain. The susanoo dispels as sasuke falls to one knee with his Sharingan flaring angirly, "What the Hell is He?!" he thought. Mitsuomi drives zetsuei into the ground, shocking tsunade, mei and sasuke as well.
"Alright Sasuke.. Since I'm getting bored.. I'll give you a free one.. I won't move from this spot.. So Try and Hit me" mitsuomi shouts, beckoning for him. Tsunade and mei gasp but sasuke cackles as his susanoo regains its arm and armor, "Then DIE" he roars. The purple arrow fires like as missile towards mitsuomi but the shinigami grins wide, "Hadō #81 Danku" he says and the arrow explodes into a forming transparent wall. A ten foot debris cloud forms as sasuke watched in anticipation of mitsuomi's corpse but those hopes were dashed as mitsuomi stood with a shit-eating grin on his face.
"Well My Turn" mitsuomi says and raises his left hand, "Sprinkled on the bones of the beast!.. Sharp tower.. Red crystal.. Steel ring.. Move and become the wind.. Stop and become the calm.. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle.. Hadō #63 Raikōhō" he shouts. The yellow electric blast erupted from mitsuomi's outstretched hand and exploded into the susanoo, throwing sasuke to the ground with several bounces. Mitsuomi pulls zetsuei from the dirt and heads for the prone uchiha but the Ne spring into action, however all of them were cut down by his quicksword, much to tsunade and mei's shock. Mitsuomi picked up speed towards the uchiha but two large men appear from the ground and block him as sai grabs sasuke, escaping on a bird made of ink. The men also were made of ink as the melt, "Che lucky Teme" mitsuomi thought, sheathing zetsuei. Tsunade and mei approached with stunned looks, "Well lets push off.. We'll head back into Hot-Water Country" he says and both nod as they take off.
#X#X#
A few days later mitsuomi and others took up residence in town within Hot-Water country but for a certain sannin this would change her life forever. Mitsuomi plopped in a chair as tsunade mediates on the floor, "We need to talk" he says. Tsunade opens an eye with an arched eyebrow, "About what" she asks. Mitsuomi sighs with rub of his head, "Us" he simply replies. Tsunade stares at mitsuomi incredulously, "Us?!.. There is no us.. We barely know each other.. I thank you for saving me but if you think I'll warm your bed because of it.. You're insane" she shot.
"Oh come on Baa-chan you know I'm Naruto.. You've known since the Valley of End" mitsuomi shot back. Tsunade gasped with wide eyes and shook her head, "No I can't do this now.." she says and bound to feet. Mitsuomi grabs her wrist, "Stop you need to face this.. I came back for you" he says and his eyes flickered, "I had crush on you ok and it wasn't teenage hormones.. I didn't care about Sakura..I think I liked her because she liked the Teme.. Hell even the Furball said tell you how I felt" he adds. Tsunade's honey eyes flickered as tears formed but pulls away to sit on the bed, "I can't have these feelings.. Not again.. I can't" she thought. The room became silent as tsunade debated in her mind but mitsuomi was getting antsy, "Will you say something.. Argh I took this deal because of You.. I gave up a life with someone I loved.. For You.. I love you Tsunade" he shouts. Mei was outside the door and slipped off as mitsuomi shouts, leaving them alone. Tsunade glanced to mitsuomi, "How can you say you love me.. Because of me you.." she says but stands, "I'm old enough to be your grandmother" she shouts.
"So its the age" mitsuomi said but tsunade shakes her head, "I'm cursed those I love Die.. Dan.. Nawaki.. You" she says, tears running down her cheeks.
"It broke my heart to see what they did to you.. I kept repeating... Its my fault another person I loved is dead because of me" she says.
"I don't care.. I'm here now and you wont lose me.. No curse is gonna stop me from loving you" mitsuomi states, standing in front of her. Mitsuomi pulls tsunade into his arms, her head buried in his chest and his arms around her form. Tsunade felt safe as his hand ran through her white locks, "I love him.. I can love him.. I wanna be with him.. But.." she thought and looks up. Mitsuomi rests his chin on her forehead with a smile, "So feel better" he says and she mumbles, wrapping her arms around him. The pair stayed that for a few minutes, when mei finally came back.
"Um we have a small problem.. I spotted some Konoha Anbu here" mei said. Mitsuomi sighs and kisses the top of tsunade's head, "Yareyare Daze.. I guess we can pick up where we left off later" he says.
"Funny my Granduncle use to say that" tsunade notes, as they grab their things.
"And here I thought Sasuke learned his lesson back in Sound but I guess I hoping for too much" mitsuomi muses. Mitsuomi stepped out first with tsunade and mei behind, "So where to" mei asks.
"The border we're heading for Frost" mitsuomi said and mei balks, "Are you sure" she says.
"Yeah Frost is Aligned with Lightning.. So I doubt Konoha wants to Risk a war just yet" mitsuomi says. Mitsuomi points and they leap take to the rooftops but a group of masked Anbu were in tow, leading was a woman with long purple hair in a Neko mask.
"Captain its them" one with a wolf mask. Neko points her hand and they spread out in a wide formation. Mitsuomi glances back and tsks, "Looks like real Anbu this time" he thought. A barrage of kunai and shuriken erupt as the three scatter, mei summons the Kubikiribōchō as mitsuomi turns with fling of kunai of his own. Tsunade moves near mitsuomi as one Anbu goes for her but the sannin cracks her across the jaw with a spin kick. The Anbu plummeted to the street below as people scream as tsunade drops down, dodging another Anbu with two long kunai blades. Above mei somersaults over two Anbu and swings wide catching both in the back as she lands. Mei could see mitsuomi engaging several at once but Neko was watching with a calculating eye for opening. Below tsunade was heading to the edge of town, "Katon: Fireball Jutsu" echoed out. Two building exploded as people scream and flee, "Are they crazy?!" she shouts. Mitsuomi and mei saw the explosion, "Bastards innocent people are here" mei shouts. Wolf only laughs and draws two tanto, "They should feel honored to die for Konoha" he sneers. Mei grits her teeth and shoots forward with a wide but heavy swing, forcing wolf to kick and drop off the rooftops. Mitsuomi cuts down three and Anbu as neko draws her blade, shooting forward with precise speed but mitsuomi blocks with his sheath.
"Looking for an opening Gomen'ne Neko-chan but I have no blind spot" mitsuomi states. Neko kicks back with a furrowed brow under her mask, "Neko-chan but the only person to call me that was Naruto-kun" she thought. Neko sprints forward with an arced slash but mitsuomi parries and snatches Neko's mask, revealing a beautiful face and brown eyes, "Beautiful as ever Neko-chan" mitsuomi notes, tossing her mask back.
"Who are you" Neko questions, slipping back on the mask. Neko leaps with a shimmering movement of her sword, "Mikazuki no Mai" she declares. Mitsuomi closes his eyes and moves zetsuei in similar manner as neko shoots down, before shattering her blade and his sheath impacting her stomach. Mitsuomi catches Neko before she falls and places her on the rooftop, "Gomen'ne but you'll wake up sore" he says but turns as fire breaks out. Another explosion of fire erupts as tsunade dodges an owl mask Anbu, "So you're one of the great Sannin.. All three are disgraces to Konoha" owl sneers. Tsunade glares at owl and shoot forward with a punch but owl dodges and flings several shuriken. Tsunade dodges but the shuriken explode on impact, killing several people as they fled.
"You Monster" tsunade shouts. Owl shoots forward with slash aimed for tsunade's chest but she ducks and slams a harsh body-blow. Owl staggers and a trickle of blood from his mask with a growl, "Bitch" he hissed. Tsunade takes a defensive stance but crying catches her eyes, spotting the source it was a little girl. Owl sees the girl and a smirk forms with a dark chuckle, sensing his intent tsunade races for the child as owl weaves several signs.
"Doton: Earth flowing spears" owl shouts. Tsunade grabs the child but crying out as two spikes pierce her shoulders and through her back. However the child poofs away as tsunade collapses, "A Bunshin?!" she sputters, blood pooling from her wounds and her limbs tingling. Owl chuckles menacingly as he stalks forward, "Looks like old age has caught up with you" he sneers. Tsunade tries to move but her legs wouldn't, "No I have damage to my spine.. Damn it" she thought. Owl raised his sword as tsunade glares, "Mitsuomi Gomen'ne but I'll be going away before we had a chance together" she thought. Time seemed to slow but a noise echoes and owl stood frozen until a slice formed from the tip of his head down. Tsunade gasped as the two pieces fell to reveal mitsuomi, "Tsunade?!" he shouts, dropping to his knee to sit her up. Tsunade coughs up some blood, "Mitsuomi I can't feel my legs and I'm losing too much blood" she whispers. Mitsuomi grits his teeth and takes her hand, "Tsunade I can't lose you not again" he cries. Mei drops down but covers her mouth as mitsuomi holds tsunade but he feels zetsuei clatter in his mind, "There might be a way to save her" she states.
"How" mitsuomi asks and zetsuei sighs, "By making her a Shinigami like you" she replies. Mitsuomi's breath hitched and looks into tsunade's eyes, "Tsunade I can save you but it's huge risk" he says. Tsunade's eyes flicker and nods, "I don't care.. I don't want lose you again" she says. Mitsuomi grabs the hilt of zetsuei, "I want you to drive my sword through your being.. It will transfer some of my powers into you and make you Shinigami like me" he says.
"If it doesn't work" tsunade shakingly asks and mitsuomi bites back his tears, "I'll crush Konoha and be with you soon" he whispers. Tsunade contemplated her choices and grabs the hilt, plunging it into her chest and the pair were engulfed in blue light. Mei covers her eyes and pulls them away with flickering eyes as the light dies down. Mitsuomi was on one knee with a haggard look but tsunade was completely changed. Tsunade was younger and now wore a black but sleeveless shozoku but her cleavage slightly exposed with a long white obi wrapped around her waist with the excess hanging in front like two tails. Black arm sleeves with intersecting white stripes and curiously a wakizashi with a black tsuba and purple ito laying next to her. Mitsuomi rose with a rub of his forehead, "How much did she get" he thought.
"About thirty percent.. You won't be able to use your Bankai for at least a month but her Reiatsu is near Captain class.. Her Uzumaki and Senju genes helped" zetsuei explains. Mitsuomi stares at tsunade's unconscious form and glances to mei but saw the concerned look in her green eyes, "Are you alright.. What was that" she asks.
"I'll explain in detail later.. Right now we should leave" mitsuomi says, slipping tsunade's zanpakuto next to his own. Mitsuomi gently lifts tsunade in his arms, "Matte" a voice shouts and both saw Neko clutching her ribs. Mei raises her Kubikiribōchō but mitsuomi blocks her, "What do you want" he says. Neko looked around at the fires, "I can't go back Konoha.. Too long have I been blind to their evil.. My friends told me but failed to listen" she states. Mitsuomi glances down to tsunade, "I don't trust you but I can't stop you if you follow.. However if you bring Konoha after us.. I'll Kill you and you'll get to meet Hayate sooner rather than later" he says and vanishes with mei. Neko stood with wide eyes as a limbing wolf emerges from the shadows, "Shit we need to report this to Danzō-sama" he says but Neko suddenly jams a kunai in his throat with a twist. Wolf gurgles as he drops to his knees and Neko remove her mask, before cutting her forearm and smearing some of her blood. Neko tossed the mask and took off in a quickened pace, "Could you be Naruto-kun" she thought.
#X#X#
Tsunade opened her eyes to a lush green forest with huge trees, "Where am I" she thought, sitting up. Tsunade remembered what happened in the town and what mitsuomi did, upon seeing the new clothes she was wearing. Tsunade got to her feet and looked around the forest, "This is something like Grandfather would make" she muses. Rustling catches tsunade's ears and she followed the sound to a huge lake but she gasps at her reflection. Tsunade looked around twenty and her figure was more shapely and athletic, "What you have become has made like this" a voice says. Tsunade whips and gasps with wide eyes as a woman stood before her, "Grandmother?!" she says. The woman had long bright-red hair and pupiless black eyes, wearing a high-collared kimono with a whirpool symbol on the back of the obi which was tied around her waist. The woman tied her red hair buns with hair pins in them and three clips in the front had a rhombus similar to tsunade and with kanji written on paper in her hair like decals.
"Gomen'nasai Tsuande but I am not Mito Uzumaki..I am %^..your Zanpakuto Spirit" she states. Tsunade furrowed her brow, "Gomen but it seems you can't hear my name just yet" the woman states. The woman raises her hand and a pair of chairs form, "Please sit and I'll explains as best I can" she states. Tsunade takes a seat, "Mitsuomi said something about becoming a Shinigami like him" she states.
"Hai.. Through his power I was born.. I am a portion of your soul.. I took this form to put you more at ease.. Once you learn my name you will unlock my powers.. This place is your Inner-world fashioned from your mind... You will be able to come here and commune with me" the woman explains. Tsunade slowly nods and looks around in wonder, "Tsuande how do you feel about Mitsuomi-kun" the woman asks and tsunade freezes, "Why" she curtly asks.
"He is Naruto-kun reborn in a sense.. Yet you are afraid to love him.. Though you made a breakthrough in Hot-Water.. Your doubt still remains" the woman asks. Tsunade sighs ruefully and rises out of her chair to hug her form, "This is so much to take in.. Naruto-kun is alive and is this Badass man with powers rivaling the Kyūbi or more.. He gave up a life with someone he loved for me.. I feel like I don't deserve him.. My feelings for him started as parent to child but they grew as I watched him fight for everything he got.. I felt Ashamed at these feeling.. He was old enough to be my grandchild for Kami sake but when he was killed my Heart shattered and it was more than I could bare" she whispers. The woman places a hand on tsunade's shoulder, "Then Tell him" she says. Tsunade was about to retort but everything faded and she found herself staring the ceiling of a room, sitting up tsunade found herself in a modest bedroom.
"You finally awake Tsunade-san" a voice said. Tsunade looked right and saw mei sitting in a chair, "Where are we and how long have I been unconscious" tsunade asks. Mei closes her book and places it on the table, "A secluded Inn in Frost Country and about three days" mei explains. Tsunade stares incredulously at the red head but sniffs herself and makes a face, "Shower is over there" mei says. Tsunade climbs out of bed and spies the clothes she wore in her inner-world on the dresser and snatched them as she headed in the bathroom.
"This is so much to take in" tsunade thought sinking into the tub. About thirty minutes later tsunade emerged from her room in the inn, fully clothed but decided to add a long sleeve mesh shirt, metal topped gloves and her new sword was strapped across her lower back. Tsunade explored the inn but found only a few people, who greeted her in a friendly manner as she passed. Tsuande soon reached the courtyard and found mitsuomi going through some katas but with no shirt on, making the senju blush but gasps, seeing his numerous scars littered on his upperbody. Mitsuomi noticed tsunade out the corner of his eye as he swings a left straight, "Bout time Baa-chan" he muses.
"Stop Calling me That" tsunade shouts. Mitsuomi chuckles softly as he approaches, "Well I guess I can't anymore.. How do you feel" he asks. Tsunade rubs her arm with a slight look away, "I feel ok.. In fact I feel better than I ever felt" she replies. Mitsuomi grabs his shirt from a bench, "That good.. Have you meet your Zanpakuto Spirit yet" he asks, slipping on a white wife-beater.
"I did but I dont know her name yet" tsunade replies. Mitsuomi plopped on a bench and beckoned for tsunade to sit down, "Ok I'm gonna try teach everything I know about being a Soul-reaper.. The first is the Four Arts of Zanjutsu.. Hakuda.. Hohō and Kidō.. The first two are simple as its hand to hand and swordplay.. The other two will be a little harder.. Hohō is use of Shunpo and speed based techniques.. Kidō is like Ninjutsu but uses incantations instead of hand signs" he explains. Tsunade sat quietly as mitsuomi explained in greater detail, "So Reiatsu is potent enough to Kill similar to Killer Intent" she asks.
"In a way.. You saw what happened in Sound when I used mine..those who were weak died from and that was me holding back.. Reiatsu is pure Spirit power.. According to Zetsuei you have near Captain class reiatsu which is good and bad.. If you don't maintain control.. A lot of people could get hurt" mitsuomi says. Tsunade slowly nods as mitsuomi stands and does some hand signs to end in a tiger sign, "Ryūō Shōheki" he states.
"What was that" tsunade asks and mitsuomi rubs his ear, "A special Barrier I can use.. It keeps the outside world from being harmed by our reiatsu.. Ok now I want you to channel your Reiatsu.. Just do like when you gather chakra" he states. Tsuande rose and closed her eyes as mitsuomi folded his arms, soon a green aura surrounded tsuande with a small rumble of thunder as she opened her glowing honey eyes.
"Heh you're a natural.. Sate" mitsuomi says and wrapping an arm around her waist. Tsunade eeps as both vanish and appeared about a mile above the inn, "What are you doing?!" she shrieks. Mitsuomi laughs as they stood in midair, "Ok focus your reiatsu to your feet" he says and tsunade does, till she was shakingly standing in the sky. Mitsuomi slowly moved back till their finger tips were touching, "Ok thats good.. Now I'll show you a bit of Shunpo" he says. Tsunade gasps as there were now twenty mitsuomis around her, "Shunpo is all about speed it even surpasses the famed Yondaime.. A master can create after images of this caliber" he explains.
"I barely saw you move.. Its akin to Shisui the Teleporter.. His Shunshin left no trail" tsunade says. Mitsuomi shunpos them back to the courtyard, "True and shunpo is a bit like that.. Now lets talk Zanpakuto" he states, taking a seat.
"Zanpakuto are forged from your soul..you and the blade are one in the same..they have two releases.. Shikai is initial release and Bankai is True release but you can't do either till you learn your Zanpakuto's name" mitsuomi explains. Tsunade glances back to her own sword, "You're close to learning my name but you need to first admit your feelings for Mitsuomi-kun to begin the process" the spirit said. Tsunade looked at her sandals with a soft look and flickering eyes, "Mitsuomi.. I" she starts but stops. Mitsuomi turned his attention to tsunade as she was at war with herself, "My Heart aches.. Every time I saw you it hurt.. I didn't know how to process it.. I didn't want it.. I didn't want to love you.. Our ages were so far apart.. I was afraid of what the world would think" she says. Tsunade wipes her forming tears with renewed rigor, "But No more.. I don't care what others think" she declares. Tsuande closes the gap and looks into his mismatched eyes, "I want to be with you Mitsuomi.. I wanna make this work" she said. Mitsuomi softly smiled as tsunade moves closer until their lips met in soft and chaste fashion, for tsuande every doubt and fear was leaving her and for mitsuomi it was finding his love. In the shadows of the inn mei was watching with a hand on her heart, "Am I jealous of her.. Has this short time with him actually let me fall for him" she thought, slipping off to her room and leaving the touching scene.

Sasuke was in a foul mood and several dead Ne were proof of his anger and unyielding rage towards a certain shinigami. A month had passed since his and Neko team's failure to capture mitsuomi and his compatriorts. New spread of his failure and it infuriated the uchiha to no end, seeing people actually doubting him. Sasuke threw himself in training to kill mitsuomi and his brother, both of which had toyed with him in battle. Sasuke's EMS flared to life, which were his father's eyes and given to him by danzō. Sasuke learned the truth or danzo's truth about his family's demise and the young avenger was more gungho about killing itachi. Watching from above was ino and if one looked close, one could see the wet spot in her shorts and liquid trailing down her legs. Sasuke was cutting down prisoners and Ne soldiers not fit for duty as ino watched in lust, "Ohh Sasuke-kun you know how to make me moist" she coos. In the Hokage tower danzō was equally angered but the older man knew how to hide his rage. Danzō looked at his intellgence reports from his patrol teams and in the past month none had seen hide nor hair of the three, this drove the shadow of konoha up the wall. The popluous of the village cared nothing for tsuande anymore but she was on the loose was a problem. A knock at the door interrupted danzō's thought and it opened revealing his second apprentice. Neji Hyūga was a proud man, who believed in fate and though it was tested at one point, it proved true as its offender was now dead.
"Neji take a seat.. What I'm about to tell you does not leave this room" danzō states. Neji takes a seat with a slow nod as danzō clears his throat, "I have an important mission for you" he says.
"Does it concern the Senju" neji asks and danzo nods, "Since her Escape and appearance in Sound and Hot-Water.. She has gone dark but I am sending you on another route.. A woman named Mei Terumi is with them..she hails from Kiri and I do not doubt she will return there with them as well" he explains. Neji rubs his chin thought, "She sought aid to end the Bloodline purges.. However Konoha is on good terms with Kiri" he says.
"Yes.. I want you and a squad of Anbu and Jōnin to go to Kiri and investigate the area and speak to the Yondaime about Terumi and her possible whereabouts.. Should you encounter them.. Engage to gauge their strength and gather as much information on Mitsuomi Kiriyu as you can" danzō orders. Neji rises from his seat into a bow, "It will be done Lord Hokage" he says and excuses himself. Danzō turns in his chair and rises to look over the village, "Fū" he simply says. Fū emerges from the shadow with bandages over her left eye, "Was it successful" danzo asks. Fū removes her bandage and reveals a Sharingan, "Hai Danzō-sama I have Subjected the Beast within me" she says in monotone and he nods, "Very Good.. Continue Training your new eye.. Unlock all its worth" danzō states and fu bows, returning to the shadows.

Tsunade panted to reign in her breath as mitsuomi stood with zetsuei in his hand, littered about were small craters and scroched earth. Tsunade had grown leaps and bound in the past month in both Hohō, Kidō and Hakuda, her monstrous strength returned in full force and Kidō in the Medical aspect was near her old skills. Tsuande's zanjustu still need polishing but with the arrival Yugao Uzuki, formerly known as neko the last senju was coming along. Tsunade saw yugao and mei watching from outside the barrier, "Do you still not trust her" her spirit asks.
"I do but Mei.. I think she has feelngs for Mitsuomi" tsunade thought, dodging mitsuomi from behind. Tsunade mutters an incantation as she leaps, "Hadō #33 Sōkatsui" she shouts. A blue blast erupts from her hand but mitsuomi breaks left, "Hadō #4 Byakurai" mitsuomi counters. Tsunade narrowly dodges and quickly draws her sword to block his, "Something bothering you Tsuna-chan" he says, teasing. Tsunade puffs her cheeks with a glare, "Nothing" she snaps. Mitsuomi kicks back but charges with blinding speed, "Damn his Shukuchi its so hard to track" tsunade thought, narrowly dodging.
"You're getting better.. You can dodge three steps short now" mitsuomi shouts and shoots forward again but faster. Tsunade shoots skyward and launches down but mitsuomi blocks her strike, "Tsunade I'm going step this up.. You need to bring out your Shikai" he states. Tsunade had spent the month communing with the spirit but she had made no headway in learning her name, "I know that but..." she says.
"No buts Why are you Hesitating?!" mitsuomi shouts. The former Gobantai Taicho flares his reiatsu and tips his sword down with his right wrapped around like a hug, "Awaken.. Six-Headed Dragon of Chaos" he shouts. The wind picks up violently as mitsuomi's reiatsu flares, forcing tsunade to cover her eyes as mei and yugao were wide eyed. Tsunade stares in shock as mitsuomi nods holds a black sword accented by red, its guard silver and its pommel black with a silver dragon imprinted around it.
"This is my Zetsuei's true Shikai" mitsuomi says and blinks away. Tsunade narrowly dodges as mitsuomi carves a twenty foot gash in the ground with his swing but she barely has time to react with her own sword as he appears in front.
"A sealed Sword is no Match for a Shikai.. Bring her out" mitsuomi shouts. Tsunade pushes back but sees a crack in her sword, "Tsunade you must Not Hesitate.. Mitsuomi-kun will Kill you Otherwise" her spirit shouts. Tsunade gasps as mitsuomi stood like a looming giant, "Don't falter.. If you do.. You will Die.. Cast off your Fear and Call my Name" the spirit shouts. Tsunade's reiatsu churns to life as she grips her sword and mitsuomi sprints forward, "Reign over the Elements.. Elemental Empress" she shouts, causing and explosion of power. Mitsuomi raises his sword horizontally to block a plated gauntlet covered fist as tsunade came to view, sporting another gauntlet and greaves on her legs with the gauntlets having a spade symbol on the top of the hands. [A/N..looks like the Gilgamesh devilarm from DMC4 but no mask and back armor]
"Elemental Empress huh.. Whoo I am Impressed" mitsuomi notes. Tsunade kicks back and admires her shikai, "Elemental Empress.. Seems powerful and strong but long to say" she thought. Elemental Empress softly giggles in her forest, "Well call me Raimei for short.. You can also use that to release me as well" she states. Tsunade looks to mitsuomi and slams her fists together, "Alright Darling Round 2" she shouts.
[song playing...One Punch Man OST: Genos Fight Theme (BETA)]
"So Raimei what special moves do I have" tsunade thought and raimei giggles, "You be able to use the Affinties you had as a shinobi.. Lightning.. Fire.. Water and Earth.. Try that rock by your foot.. Toss it up and punch" she replies. Tsunade picked up the basketball size and did as raimei said, before it created six sparking spike like projectiles. Mitsuomi whistles as he dodges them but blocks tsunade's fist, creating a foot long rut. Tsunade slammed another punch to the black blade, before spinning with a flurry of kicks that radiated lightning. Tsunade kicked her left fist back as flames coated her fist, "Shit" mitsuomi thought, kicking back and driving zetsuei into the ground.
"Earth Dragon Dance" mitsuomi shouts, creating a wall of earth. Tsuande forges through the earthen barrier with her fist cocked but mitsuomi blocks with his left palm, "Just his hand" she thought but mitsuomi was sliding. Tsuande kicks back into the air with her leg raised, "Heavenly Heel of Pain" she shouts, shattering the ground with her foot. Mitsuomi flies up but narrowly dodges a flame from tsunade's gauntlets, "That was close" he thought. Tsunade launches forward as the pair soon blur from mei and yugao's vision, "Such speed.. Its surpasses the Hiraishin no Jutsu" yugao remarks.
"Its Faster than anything I've ever seen" mei adds. Tsunade skids to a halt with her fists aimed at the spot mitsuomi lands, shooting a huge flame and erasing a section of land. However mitsuomi taps her shoulder from behind and he dodges her punch, "Mitsuomi stop toying around.. Come at me seriuosly" tsunade shouts. Mitsuomi stand silent but raises his sword level with his shoulder, "Gomen" he says. Suddenly mitsuomi's reiatsu explodes like a hurricane, forcing tsunade to cover her face but her eyes widen as the visage of a dragon forms behind mitsuomi. The dragon roars to shatter ground as tsunade stood wide eyed but mitsuomi dispels his power and seals his sword. [song ends]
Tsunade seals her sword as mitsuomi approaches, "Kami that was intense" she says. Mitsuomi snorts with a soft smile as he drops his barrier, "I haven't even used my Bankai yet" he says, as yugao and mei approach.
"Mitsuomi your power its like nothing we've ever seen" mei says. Mitsuomi rubs the back of his head, "I hope its enough to help you in Kiri" he says. Mei gasps and immediately hugs mitsuomi, "Thank you so much" she says and he rubs his nose.
"I'm with you too Mei.. You took to my training very well" tsunade said and mei blushes, "Thank you Shisho" she replies. Mitsuomi glances to yugao, "Yugao I need a favor.. While we're heading for Kiri.. I want you to go to Wave and keep and eye on Shizune-nee and Kakashi.. Konoha may think we went to them" he says.
"Of course.. Konoha thinks I'm dead and If I can.. I'll get a message to Asuma and the others.. Maybe we can get asylum at the Fire capitol" yugao states. Mitsuomi folds his arms and rubs under his chin, "Do that.. I heard the Daimyo doesn't trust him but without evidence.. Its tough" he says. Yugao nods and shunshins back to the inn as the others follow, "How are we getting to Kiri" tsunade asks.
"By ship.. We'll have to go through Port City to Mist Forest.. Our Leader is waiting with the other rebels" mei explains.
"Who is your Leader.. You've been vague about them" mitsuomi asks and mei glances his way, "Her name is Pakura of the Scorch release" she states. Tsunade furrows her honey eyes, "Pakura.. I thought she had been killed years ago" she says. Mei shakes her head with a soft look, "No a ruse Shisho.. Pakura-san was sent by Suna to negotiate a peace treaty after her success in Iwa.. Suna sent her to Kiri but she was betrayed.. However Ameyuri-sama stepped in before she died and rescused her.. Pakura-san learned of Kiri bloodline purges and decided to help Ameyuri-sama by becoming our leader as one Suna's Heroes or former hero" she explains, as they reach the inn.

A few days later mei, mitsuomi and tsunade were aboard a ship heading for Kiri territory, with yugao on another ship bound for Wave. Mei was on the deck in a black cloak as the ocean moved in awe inspiring grace but her thoughts were on the pair with her. Mei's feeling for mitsuomi only continued to grow but now she was developing them for tsunade, many didn't know but mei was bisexual due in part of her former sensei. Mei leaned on the railing with a soft sigh, "Ryo for your thoughts" a voice says. Mei glances right and sees tsunade with a cloak of her own, "Just thinking" mei says.
"About Mitsuomi" tsunade says and mei gasps, "You're acting like I did when I saw him again" the senju adds. Mei sighs once again and looks over the water, "He's amazing.. He didn't hesitate to help me.. Even though he could've just left" she states.
"He's always been like that.. He would never abandon anyone in need.. Thats what I love about him" tsunade states.
"Um Shisho" mei starts stops, "I don't want to interfere with your relationship with Mitsuomi" she adds. Tsunade taps mei on the back, "Don't sweat it I know you like me too.. So lets all be together" she says but gasps in fright. A depressed aura surrounded tsunade, "I've become like Jiraiya" she mutters and mei laughs. Mitsuomi stepped on the deck and saw the rain cloud over tsunade, "What's wrong granny lost your shirt in a bet" he shouts. Tsunade whips around but mitsuomi is nowhere to be found as mei giggles, "Geez I'm trying to lighten your mood" he says, squatting on the railing. Tsunade only scoffs as mei slightly stares at mitsuomi, "So what's up" he asks.
"Mei has a thing for you" tsunade said. Mitsuomi blinked like an owl and tilt of his head, "I do.. Ever since I met you.. I've had this feeling in my heart.. Normally I'm flirty and teasing with people but with you I don't have to be.. So if you like I want to date you and Tsunade" mei explains. Mitsuomi stayed quiet but he mouthing something and nodding, "He'll do it but why me as well" tsunade asks and mei blushes but leans in, "I'm Bi" she whispers and mitsuomi falls forward with a thud. Mei and tsunade start to laugh as a sailor approaches, "Um excuse me are you not the three heading Port City in Mist" he asks. Mitsuomi gets to his feet and dusts himself off with a nod, "We are" he says.
"Forgive Sir.. Madams but the Captain is weary to stop in Port City.. News reached him of intense battles between the bloodline rebels and Kirigakure.. The ship will pass Port city and dock further South" the sailor explains. Mitsuomi took a thinking pose with a glance to mei, "How far are we from Port City" he asks.
"About 30 nautical miles" the sailor explains and mitsuomi rubs his chin, "That'll work.. We're shinobi.. We'll leave from here" he says. The sailor bows and heads to inform the captain, while mitsuomi and the others retrieve their things. About twenty minutes later mitsuomi with mei on his back and tsunade in tow, leap off the deck into shunpo towards Port city. Mei held on as the ocean flew by like blur, "At least this time it isn't so bad" she thought, snuggling his back. Mitsuomi nearly falters as mei's breasts were in his back, "Don't pass out" zetsuei playfully chides. Not much later the three arrived at the port of Port city, luckily it was deserted enough for them go unseen. The port was in good shape but had seen better days, "So where to" mitsuomi asks, letting mei down.
"Follow me" mei says, as the three take off. The three moved through the forest, "What can we expect in terms of numbers from Kiri" mitsuomi asks.
"Yagura claims those with Kekkei Genkai are unclean in the eyes of Kami and its his duty to rid Kiri of them but Ameyuri-sama said Yagura was a good man at the beginning" mei explains. After an hour of moving through the forest, the group reached a large camp, numerous tents littered the clearing and a large triage tent.
"Halt who goes there!" a shinobi shouts. Mei steps forward as mitsuomi and tsunade held their hands up, "Mei Terumi I brought some help" she states. The guard relaxes but his face was sullen, "Mei thank Kami but you came back at a bad time.. Yagura came himself this time.. We took a major hit" he explains.
"Pakura-san?!" mei asks but the man raises his hand, "Alive but she's ordering a full-scale retreat to Port city and on a boat docking soon.. Yagura is coming to finish this" he adds. The man led them to the main tent but as they passed the medic in tsunade was kicking in. Inside the main tent was a woman with green hair tied in a bun with a hair needle running through it and one short and long strands of hair with orange tips framing each side of her face. The woman wore a sleeveless, backless top and short tight pants, with two lapels on the front and the back. Also wearing an obi around her waist, as well as purple arm-warmers which extend up to her shoulders and has bandages around her tights and ankles.
"Pakura-sama.. Mei has returned aide" the guard states. Pakura turns and winces from her sling, "About time girl but its too late" she says, as the three step in.
"Tsunade Senju?!.. I thought you were locked up in Konoha's prison.. No matter we can use the Legendary medic" pakura adds. Tsunade sighs softly with a bow, "I don't know how much use I'll be.. Konoha destroyed my chakra coils but I've been teaching Mei" she states.
"How large of a force does Yagura command" mitsuomi asks. Pakura looked over mitsuomi with a calculating eye, "Tsunade I know.. You I don't" she curtly said. Mitsuomi taps his forehead with a bow, "Mitsuomi Kiriyu" he replies. Pakura shifts her arm in the sling, "Yagura can fully use his Bijū the Three-tail Dragon and he commands three platoons of Anbu at present on their way" she explains.
"The guard said something about a boat in Port city" mei asks and pakura nods, "It's supposed to arrive soon" she says.
"The boat's not coming.. We were on it.. One of the sailors said the captain was weary to dock in Port city" mitsuomi says. Pakura's eyes widen but mitsuomi furrows his brow, "However something struck me as odd..how did he know were going to Port city but he asked us specifically" he states. A Kiri shinobi rushes in as pakura was thinking, "Pakura-sama.. Our sensors are picking up Yagura's forces" she shouts.
"Pakura-san let me give you time to escape" mitsuomi says and pakura balks, "I guess you think you're hot Shit but Yagura is powerful" she states. Tsunade steps forward with a smirk, "He saved me from execution and made the Uchiha brat look like amateur.. You can trust him" she states. Pakura thought for a moment and slowly nods, "Ao begin evacuation of the camp.. Those can move under their own power head for Port city.. Those that can't I'll stay behind to protect" she orders. Ao quickly nods as mitsuomi slips off his cloak, "Tsunade and Mei.. You two stay here with them.. I'll slow Yagura down" he says, pulling his goggles to his forehead. Mitsuomi left the tent as tsunade and mei look between each other, "I know that look Mei and I want see it too" pakura interjects and mei slips off her cloak, "Well let's go then" tsunade comments.
[song playing...Hai yo/Oh Ashes Extended (Rip from Album Teaser) - Susumu Hirasawa]
A large force of a hundred strong moved towards pakura's camp and leading this force of Anbu was the Yondaime Mizukage yagura. Yagura wore a grey, sleeveless shirt with the Kirigakure forehead protector attached to the front, short-sleeved mesh armour over which he also wears a green poncho along with a turquoise sash around his waist, paired with a green apron over his pants. Also wearing a pair of brown boots and on his back he carried a staff-like pole weapon with uneven sized hooks with a green flower on the larger end. The forces moved on tight formation until they reached a open area with sparse hills and trees. Yagura felt a presence across the field and sees a single man with his arms folded about a hundred meters across from them.
"Have they gone Mad?!.. To send a single man" yagura thought. Mitsuomi cracked his neck with a grin and adjusts his goggles on his forehead, "Awaken" he simply says. Zetsuei glows and shoots to mitsuomi's hand with the black sword glinting on his grip, jumping a bit mitsuomi launches with a heavy step and cracks the ground into a full sprint.
"Enemy" one shouts. Several Anbu fire long range jutsu and kage kunai and kage shuriken jutsu but mitsuomi grins wide and kicks his shukuchi to full speed, dodging everything in a trail of dirt and dust. Mitsuomi leaps and drives zetsuei into the ground with a crash, "Dragonstrike" he shouts. Blue energy surges into the ground, only to explode out in the form of a blue wailing dragon. Dozen of Anbu were caught in the blast radius, charing skin and turning those close into ashes but zetsuei shoots from the smoke, into the chest of another Anbu. Mitsuomi flashes to the sword and pulls her free to cut several more Anbu as he flashes away again. Mei, pakura and tsunade reach a hill near the clearing and a collective gasp echoed as mitsuomi was whittling through yagura's forces. Yagura himself was in stunned silence as mitsuomi was making short work of his trained Anbu, "Its like he the second coming of the Yellow-Flash" he thought.
"Ninpō: Hidden Mist Jutsu" one Anbu shouts. The thick mist blankets the field as mitsuomi swings up and through another Anbu, "Wind Dragon Dance" he shouts, into a spin. Yagura gasps as the mist dispels amid a vortex but he quickly pulls his staff to block mitsuomi with a skid, "So you're the big bad Yondaime" mitsuomi croons.
"To think I would witness someone akin to the Yondaime Hokage and Raikage in speed" yagura counters. Both men kick back in a guarded stance but yagura activates his bijū cloak as mitsuomi shifts sword horizontally, "You can't fathom my speed.. Shameless murderer" mitsuomi shot back.
"Shameless?!.. Far from it.. I am perserving the Pure blood of humanity by killing those who are tainted" yagura declares. Mitsuomi raises his reiatsu some with a smirk, "You talking about Purity is like Orochimaru saying he doesn't like boys" mitsuomi shot. Yagura shoots forward as does mitsuomi, resulting in a resounding crash from their blades and the ground carved up from it. Pakura felt her eyes widen as jinchūriki and shinigami blurred around the battlefield, "None of This makes any sense" she states.
"Fūton: Supreme Typhoon!" yagura shouts, creating a great gale but mitsuomi raises his sword in both hand and swings down. The gale was cut in half as mitsuomi launches forward, "Suiton: Aqua Mirror Jutsu" yagura shouts, spinning his staff. Water circles around the staff to form a mirror as mitsuomi pierces it but behind another mirror forms and a replica of zetsuei shoots out, cutting the side of mitsuomi's face and he glares with drops of blood hitting the grass. Mitsuomi sprints forward as yagura backpedals, "Suiton: Water Dragon Missile" he shouts. The dragon forms from the mist ladel air and charges mitsuomi but he leaps and slices through the dragon with ease but yagura uses the time to launch forward. Mitsuomi grins as he blocks the staff and swings, catching yagura across the chest to his hip. Yagura roars as he gets to his feet and activates his version-2 cloak, taking the form an endoskeleton with a dark red, nearly black layer of chakra around his body, two bone dragon wings, three swishing tails and glowing white eyes. The ground under yagura thuds and creates a crater as mitsuomi takes a gatotsu style stance, "I will not lose to you" yagura roars, his voice distorted and shoots forward. Mitsuomi grunts as yagura slams into him with enough force, sending the shinigami back several feet to one knee. Mitsuomi dodges as yagura slams his fist into the ground, "I Hate your Speed" he hissed.
"Then you'll really Hate this.. Lightning dragon Dance" mitsuomi shouts, appearing above yagura and swings down. Yagura screams as lightning erupts into his body and throws him several feet, "Curse You!" he roars
"Suiton: Giant Vortex Jutsu!" yagura roars. Mitsuomi sprints into the forest away from the others as yagura rides the wave of water, "Annoying Pest" yagura hissed.
"Wind-Flame Dragon Dance" mitsuomi shouts, swinging into the wave. A large firestorm of steam erupted as both attacks met in blazing fashion, "I think we need put some distance from them.. If Yagura were to go..." pakura states.
"I know.. Its a terrible thought" tsunade says and their fears were realized as a pillar of red light erupts from the steam. Mitsuomi suddenly appears in front of them with a smirk on his face, "Bout Fucking time" he says. Two blue scale wings erupt as a huge dragon appears, with a majestic look, long neck and regal appearance with three tails, glowing purple eyes and they were trained on mitsuomi.
"You have sealed their fate.. NOW DIE" yagura roars, charging a Bijūdama. Tsunade and the others gasp with wide eyes but mitsuomi launches forward, "Mitsuomi?!" tsunade shouts. Zetsuei started to glow a bright purple as mitsuomi flares his reiatsu, "Dragon Moon Strike.. Full Moon" he roars. A second zetsuei appears in right hand as both glow and wail with blue energy, "Twin Dragonstrike" mitsuomi shouts. Two Azure dragons erupt from his shattering blades and explode the forming bijūdama in thunderous fashion. Yagura roars as he takes some back blow from the explosion, "Curse you" he roars. Mitsuomi launches out the smoke with two more swords in hands, one swirling with lightning and the other swirling with black energy.
"Twin Dragon Dance.. Darkness-Lightning Dragon" mitsuomi shouts, flinging both sword forward. The sword explode into ten black slashes enveloped by lightning and explode into the transformed yagura, making the sanbi roar in agony as he collides with the ground, creating a huge dust cloud. The last two swords form in mitsuomi's hands as he launches down but yagura reverts to his version-2 form as mitsuomi appears, one coated in flames and the other wind.
"Twin Dragon Dance.. Wind-Flame Dragon" mitsuomi shouts, igniting yagura in vortex of flames and the mizukage screaming in agony. Tsunade and the other reach the scorched area as the wind blows and rain falls but all three see the imposing figure of mitsuomi, his face hidden in shadows but his hollow eye shining with his black sword on shoulder and the lifeless yagura underfoot.[song ends]
"He.. He defeated a fully transformed Jinchūriki by himself" pakura said, in awe and disbelief. Tsunade and mei were in equal shock but it was short lived as yagura's body glows with red chakra, all three take defensive stance as mitsuomi points his blade. "Back for more Sanbi" mitsuomi says. The chakra coalesces into a smaller version of the sanbi, "I have had my fill fighting you.. Kurokenshi but yagura was not at fault.. One whom possesses the Sharingan eye possessed him.. One called Madara Uchiha" the dragon states.
"Madara Uchiha?!" tsunade shouts. The dragon nods, "I am called Isobu and I was created by the Sage of Six paths from the remains of the Jūbi.. Calamity incarnate whom my Father the Sage took it into himself to become the first Jinchūriki.. Madara Uchiha seeks to return that Calamity under the guise of peace but it is the machinations of madness.. Gathering the Nine Bijū.. The Jūbi will be resurrected and the world will end" he explains. Mitsuomi sheathes his sword as she returns to normal, "So what now Isobu.. Hide till you reform fully" he asks. Isobu glances to mei but back to mitsuomi, "Kurokenshi unlike my brother Kyūbi.. Whom is lost thanks to the Yondaime Hokage.. I will indeed reform but I will not be used again" he say and looks to mei, "You young Lass will assist me in something" he adds.
"What do you need of me" mei asks and isobu moves closer, "You care for the Kurokenshi and his companion but fear your strength will not be enough to stand by his side.. I will give you my power turning you into a puesdo Bijū or Hanyō.. You will have my power and Madara Uchiha will not have me for his endeavours" he explains. Tsunade and pakura gasp as mitsuomi remains silent but mei was wide eyed, "You would sacrifice yourself to stop some madman who can't even create this Jūbi thing" pakura states.
"It has already begun.. I fear some of my essence is in the Statue already" isobu thought and looks to pakura, "Why take this risk if even if it is low that Madara could succeed" he says.
"I'll do it.. I agree even if the chance is low of Madara Uchiha attempting this.. I say we prevent it" mei states. Mitsuomi places a hand on her shoulder, "I agree with Mei..t This way the ball is in our court and I swear I'll protect her" he says. Mei steps foward as mtsuomi stood next to tsunade, "Please Hold still" isobu states and leans forward. Suddenly the wind picks up violently as pakura and tsunade cover their eyes, while mei starts to scream and started to collapse.
"Bakudō #30 Shitotsu Sansen" mitsuomi shouts and mei is held place by golden cuffs on her wrists and waist. Mei's visible skin on her right arm gains a blue dragon scales as does her cheeks and spots on her legs, her nails lenghten and her eyes become cat like in an aqaumarine tint. The wind dies down as mei collaspes to her knees and the features recede, "You are a Dragon Hanyō now.. Use my power well Mei Terumi" isobu echoes and fades away. Mei wobbly gets to her feet with tsunade's help as pakura looks around, "Let's head back" she suggests.
"I'll hang back a minute" mitsuomi says and the others leap off. Mitsuomi looks around but a smirk forms and he vanishes, "All seeing eye" he thought. About forty kilometers away neji deactivated his Byakugan after the witnessing the battle, "Prepare to set sail" he shouts. The Hyūga head was actually flabbergasted after seeing the battle, "He has no viable chakra.. How could he defeat the Mizukage singlehandedly?!" he thought. Neji turned to have his throat seized by the man plaguing his mind, "Impossible?!" he chokes. Mitsuomi glances back to the downed men, "Don't worry they're alive.. Someone needs to take you back to Danzō" he states, dropping neji.
"How?!.. We're over forty kilometers away.. You couldn't of sensed us" neji coughs out. Mitsuomi rolls on his heels with hands in his pockets, "Well seeing that Danzō couldn't find us in the past month.. I suspected he'd go the Mei route.. Mei came to you for help and you'd probably deduced she was with me and not some unknown.. As for finding you well my senses have a pretty big range" he explains. Neji shoots up his gentle fist but mitsuomi grabs the hand and follow-up attack, with a slight jerk neji screams in agony as both his arms are broken.
"Now take a message to your Hokage.. Tell him the Black-swordsman has come and Ghosts of the Past will have their revenge" mitsuomi says, dropping the Hyūga head. Mitsuomi shunpos away but at the same time a cloak figure loomed over yagura's corpse, his body was half black and half white with spiky green hair. The figure looked over yagura with a blank stare as two Venus fly trap jaws erupt from his cloak, "Madara-sama won't like this.. I agree the Kurokenshi is scary" a person said, in two voices and sinks into the ground.
