Ninja's true path to Destiny
Chapter 9
Giatsu leapt up and threw a kick at Zero who caught his leg and slammed him into the ground he then went in to a punch him in the chest but Giatsu rolled over and Zero's arm got stuck in the ground Giatsu kicked him hard in the face knocking him backwards and then Giatsu punched him hard in the face throwing him into the air. Zero twisted his body to avoid being attacked on his blindside and he held out his hand a large X formed and Zero called out in a darker eviler voice "X BURNER" he fired an X shaped blast at Giatsu who held out his arms and he managed to deflect the blast but as he did Zero landed and rushed forward and proceeded to repeatedly punch him in the stomach Zero hit him 18 times before Giatsu cupped his arms above his head and slammed them into Zero's backside of his head knocking him face first into the dirt. Giatsu then stomped on Zero's face pushing it further and further into the ground. Giatsu raised his leg to slam it into Zero's head again but Zero quickly pulled his head out and his lower jaw opened up scaring Giatsu a bit but not too badly before Zero fired an acidic substance at his face Giatsu barely managed to dodge as Zero stood back up and continued firing acid balls at him Giatsu leapt rolled and spun to avoid the blasts Giatsu finally had enough and clenched his fists together before crossing his arms he let the next blast hit him and he pushed back against it before letting loose a huge amount of energy to cancel out the blast. Giatsu panted and so did Zero as they were fighting equally in just about everyway. Little did the two warriors know was that Sensui was watching them and he was very much intrigued by how destructive both there demon forms were, as Sensui stood there his advisor who always went with him stepped up by his side and asked.
"Did you know the Dino Knights would fail" He didn't look away from the battlefield.
"Yes I did, I only told them to attack there little group so I could witness this, you see I knew the Dino Knights were strong but not strong enough to defeat there demon forms, but Giatsu's demon looks so familiar its as if I have seen it before" Sensui crossed one arm and placed his other on his chin. Sensui pondered this for a moment before he noticed the two incredibly powerful warriors lunge forth once more.
Zero held out his arm and the blade extended from it and he began slashing at Giatsu who managed to dodge all but one as it cut into his side causing him to jump back, and upon landing he saw his Zan-batou just on the other side of Zero so Giatsu did what he knew best ran forward and leapt at Zero who instinctively swung at him Giatsu avoided and socked Zero in the noggin causing him to fall backwards and as Giatsu landed on the other side he ran and grabbed the handle of his Zan-batou out of the ground he then leapt up into the air and swung it down at Zero who held up his blade arm and they connected and then pushed apart as they both proceeded to swing violently at one another they then made impact again and the force nearly took both of them off there feet but they held firm and pushed each other backwards again Giatsu then held his Zan-batou high above his head and hurled it at Zero the Zan-batou spun in a clockwise formation as it headed straight for Zero who swung his blade arm at it they connected and Zero didn't see Giatsu get in close Giatsu held up his fist and it was engulfed in a red energy Giatsu slammed his fist into Zero's gut repeatedly causing him to spit up blood from the vicious onslaught. Giatsu then pulled his arm back for one final shot that he hoped would put the rampaging Zero down for the count but Zero dodged, he was still hit but he made it so the impact was lessened causing him to not be knocked out and only made him angrier. Giatsu stood there for a moment right before he felt the impact on his face throwing him into the air Zero then leapt up into the air he slammed an energy infused fist into Giatsu's chest causing him to cough up blood as he was thrown at a speed of 180 mph into the ground making a crater the size of the ninja academy. Zero landed and was breathing heavily as he had used much energy during this battle. He saw Giatsu lying motionless in the middle of the crater and he assumed Giatsu was dead but a few moments later Giatsu's hand twitched and Zero happened to see it. Zero leapt into the air and wasn't about to let Giatsu get back up so he came down and slammed into Giatsu causing him to sit up a bit and scream in pain as he coughed up blood from the impact. Zero then placed a foot on Giatsu's head and pushed it into the ground Giatsu's fists were clenched and his teeth gritted as Zero continued to press his face into the rocks Giatsu was getting angrier and angrier. Zero then lifted his foot and slammed it into Giatsu's face pushing it straight into the ground Zero then felt a tremendous power surge and upon looking down he was thrown from the crater and a large blinding light began to erupt from the crater in a straight beam towards the sky as Zero watched on he saw a figure float out of the hole and upon closer observation he realized it was Giatsu he had changed his hair had grown out and looked more aggressive, his body had strange markings on it his muscles bulged again and his eyes were Blood red with black pupils in them, Giatsu had a strange black aura surrounding him as he landed Zero took a step back, up on the hill Sensui almost instantly realized where he had seen those markings before.
"How can this be…is it even possible?" Sensui's eyes were wide as he recognized the power he felt as well. Sensui's advisor looked at him and asked.
"What is it lord Sensui?" The advisor stared down at Giatsu who had just stepped onto the ground the black aura still surrounding him.
"That boy is…related to…. him" Sensui took a step back and the Advisor looked at him and replied.
"Who my lord?" The advisor glanced back at the battlefield as Giatsu started walking towards Zero who continued to step backwards.
"You'll find out soon enough my friend" Sensui turned around and started to walk away from the cliff, his advisor was confused but then before he could ask Sensui fired a gold blast of energy at him causing him to implode, Sensui then continued back towards his base.
Meanwhile Giatsu had continued walking towards Zero who finally had become to enraged to care whether or not he died leapt forward and brutally punched him right in the face causing Giatsu to tilt backwards, for a second Zero thought he had won but then BAM Giatsu swung his head forward and connected it with Zero's face causing him to stumble backwards then Giatsu threw a black charka infused fist into Zero's face throwing him into the ground. Giatsu then leapt up and in the blink of an eye he slammed his foot into Zero's face making a crater in the ground. Zero lay there twitching and Giatsu landed he then grabbed Zero by the throat and picked him up, and then in a dark voice he said.
"I hope your ready to die weakling" Giatsu squeezed Zero's throat a bit before tossing him up into the air he then spun around and BAM kicked Zero hard in the side throwing him straight into the ground. Zero lay there unmoving, Giatsu landed right next to the unmoving Zero and he noticed Zero's body beginning to glow and then the armor he had on him began to crack. Zero's armor then shattered and he lay there in what appeared to be dark Blue armor smaller and leaner then the armor before it the only real difference was the stinger on his back Giatsu smiled and crossed his arms he could sense Zero's energy increase and he was pleased by it. "I hope you're not as weak as the last." Zero then sat up and began to stand and in a dark tone replied.
"I'm sorry to bore you, I'll fight you at my max" Zero looked at him his face no longer visible; it looked like it had been covered by a mask. Giatsu scoffed at him and commented.
"Your max is no where near my power if you honestly intend to fight me with that power you had best be ready to die" Giatsu then blinked and Zero was out of the crater and standing on the other side, he stared down at Giatsu or at least Giatsu thought he was staring down at him he couldn't really tell. Giatsu leapt up out of the crater and Zero laughed. "What's so funny?" Zero extended an arm and pointed at him he then appeared in front of Giatsu and threw a punch at him connecting with Giatsu's face knocking him into the ground, Zero then held up his arm and it was engulfed in flames he then made hand signs and called out.
"FIRE STYLE MAGMA DRAGON JUTSU" Giatsu looked up and saw Zero not more then 10 feet away from him finishing up his hand signs, as Giatsu stood up Zero thrust his arm out and a huge flame dragon shot forth from it heading straight for Giatsu who crossed his arms and was hit head on by the dragon who barreled him around for a few minutes that is before Giatsu began fighting back having gripped onto the dragon's ears he thrust the dragon back towards Zero. Zero's eyes shot open when he saw Giatsu manage to divert the Dragon's attack from target to master. Zero leapt up and made hand signs he then called out "WATER STYLE ICE DRAGON JUTSU" Zero then thrust his other arm out and a huge Ice dragon came out from it the two dragons connected and exploded throwing Zero to the ground Giatsu was already standing on the ground but the initial shockwave from the explosion threw him to the ground.
About 100 yards away from the battlefield Irene saw the explosion and turned around from the small stream she had been sitting by. "Oh no… GIATSU…ZERO" she stood up and turned around running back towards the battlefield. After about 10 minutes of running she finally arrived on the battlefield she saw Kakashi lying on the ground and ran over to help him, placing a hand on Kakashi's back her hand began to glow and as she healed Kakashi's wounds she saw Giatsu and Zero locked in a powerful struggle she gasped at seeing it and she finished healing Kakashi who sat up and said looking at her. '
"Thanks I guess you are pretty useful after all" Irene giggled a bit and thanked him before Kakashi stood up and said. "I need to stop them and I need you to stay here. Irene nodded and Kakashi turned around activating his Sharingan he ran out to the battle and intervened just as Giatsu and Zero were about to throw powerful punches at on another they both stopped dead in there tracks and looked at him. "Dammit I want both of you to stop this senseless fighting right now" Zero smiled and threw a powerful kick towards Kakashi who ducked and flipped backwards to avoid him Giatsu and Zero then engaged again throwing punches and kicks at one another tearing up the ground as they fought. Giatsu leapt up and dodged Zero's kick as he then threw a punch at Zero who caught his fist and slammed him into the ground Zero then stomped on Giatsu's chest but Giatsu caught his foot and Zero began to press down just as he came to barely touch Giatsu's Black and White Gi Giatsu let loose a tremendous amount of energy and it caused Zero to be thrown off of him Zero did a back flip in the air and landed a few feet away. Giatsu stood back up and was panting heavily Zero was breathing heavy as well. Irene saw Kakashi standing by and watching and she knew there was nothing he could do to stop them so she did the only thing she could think of she ran towards them a few seconds later the two warriors ran at each other again and right before they engaged once more Irene stepped in between them and yelled out at the top of her lungs.
"STOP IT NOW!!!!!!!!" Giatsu and Zero stopped dead in their tracks and looked at her Giatsu then spoke softly and coldly.
"Move or die" Giatsu's eyes were still lit up with a blood red color.
"It's best to listen to him little girl" Zero replied with a chuckle.
"NO I'M NOT LEAVING" Irene turned to Giatsu and ran towards him she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. Giatsu looked at her and then glanced at Zero who stared at him with disbelief trying to figure out what she was doing.
"Ugh…why…." Giatsu's body markings disappeared and he collapsed on the ground Zero looked at him and smiled and just as he began to walk towards him Kakashi landed in front of him and called out.
"Paralyzer punch" Kakashi threw out his punch at the caught off guard Zero and it hit him in the neck and Zero dropped like a rock hitting the ground and as Kakashi watched Zero's body armor disappeared and he returned to normal. "Phew I'm glad that's finally over" Kakashi smiled to himself and picked up Zero he then carried him over by Giatsu and set him down, and then glancing at Irene he asked, "can you heal them" Irene nodded and placed her hands on them, as she did her hands began to glow and they both saw Giatsu's body change back to normal the only real difference with Giatsu now was that His black Gi was torn up meaning he would need a new outfit. After about 5 minutes Zero and Giatsu were fully healed and everything was good Irene stood up and said to Kakashi.
"I'm gonna go get some water for them when they wake up" Irene smiled and pranced off towards the river her hair bouncing back and forth in the summer breeze. Kakashi looked back at them as he fell backwards and stared up at the sky he then fell asleep.
Meanwhile…
Sensui paced back and forth in his lair. "If those two learn to control there Demon powers at that level they have a great chance of beating me, but I can't allow that to happen" Sensui punched a wall putting a big hole in it, then slowly withdrawing his arm he said. "I may just have to destroy them myself" Sensui turned around and went back to his desk and upon sitting down an unlikely pair walked in. "Itachi…Kisame what brings you here?" Kisame looked at him and replied.
"Were here to help you get Giatsu" Kisame growled a bit and then smiled looking at Itachi. Itachi looked at Kisame then at Sensui saying.
"Giatsu has more power then you know now that his powers have improved this much I am sure that he can destroy you, I am also sure he could probably destroy us as well" Itachi looked at Kisame who was still grinning. "I propose an alliance between the three of us" Sensui crossed his arms and asked.
"And why do you want to help me?" Sensui asked standing up.
"Because we cannot allow Giatsu and his band of ninja make it to the first test" Itachi walked up in front of Sensui who stared at him still.
"The…First…. test?" Sensui asked puzzled.
"Yes you see the entire reason Giatsu is on this journey is so that he can bring back his fallen comrades including some that we killed. Itachi held out his hand and made one final comment. "So do we have a deal?"
"Yes…yes we do" Sensui held out his hand and shook hands with Itachi they both smiled evilly.
