Naruto: Shinobi Hunters
Digi-Destined saga
Legend of the Stone of Gelel arc
Kurama no Kyubi: This will be the final chapter of the "Legend of the Stone of Gelel" chapters. So will Sasuke and the others manage to stop Gelelmon's resurrection, or will they fail? Find out this chapter.
ImagineBreaker7: This is a great chapter. Also is Fu getting a crush on Naruto? I can't wait to read the next chapter
Kurama no Kyubi: She actually has had a crush on him since they first met.
Element-Overlord: WOW! THIS IS GREAT! CONTINUE THIS! Also...What About Adding Menma (From Road To Ninja) To The Party? And His Partern Could Be DexDorumon? OH, And I Would Like If Naruto Appeared To Help The Others!
GOOD LUCK!
Kurama no Kyubi: Isn't Menma, Naruto from another dimension? He will appear though since I am gonna add all of the movies except for the first one due to the events there taking place prior to the Sasuke Retrieval arc. And there's no way Naruto could get there in time, even if Fu flew him it'd still take him at least a day.
Reishin Amara: hmmm... rarelyy use gelel. plus now i know those morph girls names so i can use them for my orochi naruto fanfic Beast Release that ive been developing.
Kurama no Kyubi: You're welcome.
HikaruWinter: Shanks's kekkei gekkai? What about his haki? He had The King's Haki. The strenght of presence that made others faint or bow before him just with a glance -and break things *drools*-. You could use that :3
Kurama no Kyubi: You're a little late, I've already decided for his Kekkei Genkai.
HikaruWinter: And, just for laughs, I'm hopping Cutemon is a boy... and yes, I live for my own amusement.
Kurama no Kyubi: Yeah, you're late at that one too.
Guest: Temari should be a part. Of naruto harem
Kurama no Kyubi: I had originally planned on having her paired with Shikamaru, but I guess he could have Tayuya instead. Or rather, I'll ask you – the readers – what you think. Should Shikamaru be paired with Temari or Tayuya? Also note that the "loser" will be part of Naruto's harem.

Chapter 9: Legend of the Stone of Gelel part 3: Utopia
Temujin and Kahiko walked over a bridge towards a large platform before stopping at the end of the bridge.
"You know this place, lead the way." Temujin said.
"Follow me." Kahiko said before they continued walking.
"Stop right there!" They then looked up to a cliff above them to see the Konoha and Uzushio ninja and Sasuke and Dorumon jumped down.
"Stay out of this!" Temujin yelled as he was about to draw his sword, but just then the ground started shaking as the moving structure busted through the wall.
"Wh-what the hell is that?" Dorumon yelled just before a piece of the structure's floor lowered to reveal Haido, Kamira, Fugai and several of the armored soldiers.
"Haido-sama, the Mines of Gelel lie below." Temujin said as he knelt down.
"Thank you, son. I'm in your debt. Because of all your sacrifice, our Utopia is finally near at hand." Haido said.
"Yes, milord." Temujin said.
"Very well then everyone, let's get going." Haido said as he turned around to head for the mines, but he was stopped by Shikamaru.
"Hold on a second!" Shikamaru said as his shadow had locked on to Haido's shadow "Sorry. I hate to be rude and all, but I have a few questions."
"Haido-sama." Kamira said.
"Easy Kamira. I'm fine. Hmmm, a bit unsettling though. Good manners are such a rarity." Haido said before looking over his shoulder towards Sasuke "He's not a friend of yours, now, is he, Sasuke-kun?"
"What are you planning to do once you get the stone? What's your end-game?" Shikamaru asked.
"What'll I do? Why, I'm going to create a Utopia, a world without war, where the weak will be free from the weight of oppression." Haido said.
"It's funny though, you know? Cause it looks like you're doing the exact opposite of that." Shikamaru said.
"All that I do is in the name of true justice." Haido said.
"And why attack an innocent caravan? Is that justice?" Sakura asked.
"It couldn't be avoided. My children and I have made great sacrifices, you see. Noble sacrifices, necessary to finally create a world free of war." Haido said.
"Hey, old man! People gave their lives for your dream! Do you even care? But in your book, they were just a means to an end, is that all your fallen comrades are to you now?" Sasuke asked.
"This is what it means to accomplish something." Haido said.
"So you don't mind that these "noble sacrifices" are your friends?" Sasuke asked as he looked at Temujin and activated his Sharingan.
"That's right. I've accepted it, as all the rest of my brethren have done." Temujin said.
"It can't be helped. We share a common vision. Each of us dreams of a world where peace is finally possible." Haido said.
"Then they're not really your friends, are they?" Sasuke yelled.
"And why's that?" Haido asked.
"I don't know how to put it exactly, but… but a friend… a friend is someone that matters. They should be the most precious thing in the whole world to you!" Sasuke yelled.
'Sasuke-kun…' Sakura thought.
"After my clan was killed I closed myself to the outside world, and pushed everyone away. But there was one person who called himself my friend, and shoved me how important friends really are." Sasuke said as he thought of Naruto before he pointed an accusing finger at Haido "This Utopia you talk about, who's it even for? Dreams that won't include friends are nothing but garbage! That's why… I'm putting an end to all of this!"
Kahiko then turned a panel on the floor with his foot and the part of the platform that he and Temujin were standing on suddenly began moving away from the others before stopping.
"Old man, what do you think you're doing?" Temujin asked.
"It's time this thing was eliminated from the world once and for all! Even if it means our doom!" Kahiko said before moving the panel back and the platform suddenly shot down, towards the mines.
"Oh, no! Jiji!" Dorumon yelled as he and Sasuke ran towards the edge of the platform they were standing on before stopping and seeing a hole in the ground where the platform had gone down as said hole closed itself.
"Eliminate the stone?" Haido asked before looking over his shoulder towards Shikamaru and there was a flash of light as the Kagemane was canceled.
Haido then turned around as pulled out his book and started going through its pages.
"That cannot be possible!" After not finding anything, he got frustrated and threw the book down to the floor "He must know something!"
He then jumped down to the platform and walked towards where Sasuke and Dorumon were standing before knocking Sasuke away, sending the Uchiha flying into the bottom of one of many pillars that outlined the walls.
"Sasuke/Sasuke-kun" Dorumon and Sakura yelled respectively as said pinkette jumped down to the bridge.
Haido then jumped down to where the hole had been closed off and he simply punched the ground, making it crack before blowing up.
"Hurry. I'll catch up to you!" He said.
"Haido-sama! Return to the stronghold." Fugai said.
"We'll never make it in time. Bring the stronghold with you!" Haido said before four black strips formed in mid-air behind his back and he jumped down into the hole, followed by three of the armored soldiers.
"They're getting away!" Gaomon yelled before Kamira came down in front of them in her LadyDevimon form.
"Sorry, little boys. But you two are gonna have to deal with me." She said.
As Fugai walked back into the stronghold, a kunai suddenly flew past her and hit a pipe. She then turned around to see Sakura with several kunai in-hand and Zolo was standing next to her.
"You've got some nerve." Fugai said.
"Sasuke-kun, Dorumon, GO!" Sakura said.
"Right." Sasuke said as he got out of the rubble and ran towards the hole as Dorumon jumped down from the platform and ran up next to him.
Suddenly, however, everyone heard a sound and they all looked up just in time to see something burst through the ceiling. And out of the smoke cloud came Coronamon Tail-Hammer Mode followed by a Birdramon which had Kurotsuchi on her back in a crouched position.
Coronamon Tail-Hammer Mode then landed next to Kurotsuchi as Birdramon sent a hail of fire towards the stronghold, taking down all of the armored soldiers that were still standing there.
"What the…?" Kamira said before she flew up towards Kurotsuchi, but the Iwa-nin then held out her X-Loader.
"Reload, DemiMeramons!" Kurotsuchi said before – in a flash of light – five fire balls with arms and mouths appeared "DemiMeramons, Digi-Xross!"
The DemiMeramons then flew into each other to form what looked like a person on fire with his lips stitched together.
"Meramon!"
"Crimson Flame!" Meramon said as he sent a wave of fire from his fists, forcing Kamira to dodge the attack.
"Come on, teme! We've got to hurry!" Dorumon said as he ran towards the hole and jumped down, followed by Sasuke.
Land of Whirlpools, Uzushio, forest clearing
Kyubimon was standing in front of a man with brown hair in a messy pony-tail and he had a sword which was at his left hip. What would catch the most attention however, would be his unusual choice of clothing which was mostly white and silvery-grey.
"… Van… of the Council of Five… What are you doing here?" Kyubimon asked, shocked.
"I am here to deliver a warning." Van said.
"A warning? A warning of what?" Kyubimon asked.
"This world is about to undergo a change… a change unlike which it has ever seen the likes of before." Van said.
"What are you talking about? What change?" Kyubimon asked.
"That is something you'll have to figure out on your own, I'm afraid… or rather, the newest generation of Digi-Destined will have to find it out." Van said before turning around and walking away before stopping and looking over his shoulder "However, I can tell you this. If the new Digi-Destined don't become stronger… and soon, this world will seize to exist. And the Digital World is sure to follow." He then continued walking before vanishing into thin air.
'Seize… to exist? What's he talking about? How can that happen?' Kyubimon thought.
As Van continued walking, he noticed Luu sitting on a nearby rock with his back to him and his eyes closed.
"Vandesdelca…" Luu said as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Lucifer…" Van said without looking at the blond boy "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing. It's my turn to test the Digi-Destined, remember?" Luu said.
"The others have gotten quite suspicious about your actions, and don't think that you're cut out to watch over the Digi-Destined." Van said.
"Hahahahaha! That's rich, coming from you, Vandesdelca! Remember what happened to the kids that you were assigned to? The entire generation save for one was annihilated in less than a minute! And you're wondering why none of the older Digi-Destined or their partners trust you." Luu said.
"Yeah, well. They don't trust you either." Van said.
"Maybe, but you're the one they trust the least of us." Luu said before looking up at the sky "Say, Vandesdelca."
"What?" Van asked.
"If you don't think that I'm cut out for it, why don't we have a sparring match? The winner can look out for, and test the current generation." Luu said.
"Very well. But we can't fight here." Van said.
"Don't worry. I know an uninhabited island 20 miles across that's just north of the Land of Lightning." Luu said.
"All right, then. Let's go." Van said before both of them suddenly vanished.
Land of Fire, Mines of Gelel, Chamber of Sealing
The platform that Kahiko and Temujin eventually reached the mines and the two then walked into a large, round room as the platform started ascending.
"Where are we?" Temujin asked.
"According to the stories of old, the Camber of Sealing." Kahiko said as he looked around "Everything is just as the legend says. I've never been here in my life and yet it all fells familiar somehow." As Kahiko was talking, Temujin walked over to the walls to see several images that were engraved into them.
"The images you see were left here by our ancestors when they sealed this place away. They depict the terrible power of the Stone of Gelel." Kahiko said as he walked over to Temujin who had stopped at a section of the wall which was completely black.
"What's this?" He asked.
"A portrait of despair perhaps. The empire was reduced to nothing like the picture you see before you." Kahiko said.
"How promising. Our search hasn't been in vain, it's all we hoped it would be." Temujin said as he walked up to the wall and put his hand on it.
"And you're telling me, you're not horrified by all this? That ghastly picture proves it! This kind of power breads only destruction and nothing more." Kahiko said.
"People will always fight, with or without this power. We… we shall be wielding it for the greater good." Temujin said.
"Is that so?" Kahiko asked as he brought his right hand behind his back as a knife came out of his sleeve "The stone is further down, but our journey ends right here!" He then ran towards Temujin with the knife in-hand.
Temple of Gelel
Sakura vs Fugai
"Stupid little girl, your meddling will get you killed!" Fugai – in her WereGarurumon form – said as she jumped after Sakura, through a hole in the wall.
As Sakura ran through the corridor, she didn't notice that Fugai passed her. Fugai then made a U-turn and ran straight at Sakura before making another U-turn and running straight at Sakura again.
Shikamaru/Gaomon & Kurotsuchi/Coronamon vs Kamira
"Oh, come on. What's the matter boys and girl? Show me what you've got!" Kamira said as she flew around in her LadyDevimon form. Shikamaru then threw a shuriken towards her, but she easily dodged it.
"What happened to the shadow technique of yours?" Kamira asked as Shikamaru and Gaomon landed on a ledge.
"Kuso. She's all over the place, I can't get a lock!" Shikamaru said before Kurotsuchi and Coronamon landed on another ledge.
"Urg. She moves around too much. If only we could stop her movements." Kurotsuchi said.
'Stop her movements, hmmm…' Shikamaru thought before spotting Kankuro looking out from a hole in the wall on the other side of the room 'Huh?'
Sakura vs Fugai
Sakura leapt off a ledge before throwing a kunai with an explosive tag attached to it at said ledge as Fugai got there before the whole ledge was engulfed in an explosion.
"How'd you like that?" Sakura yelled as she landed before she saw that Fugai came out of the smoke cloud.
"Surprise!" The werewolf said as she came down and the pinkette immediately leapt back.
"But I blinded her! How can she be chasing me?" She asked as she leapt from ledge to ledge.
"Hahahaha! I can smell your blood, that's all I need!" Fugai said before landing on a ledge and opening her mouth to let out a powerful howl which nearly caused a cave-in.
She then spotted Sakura who was down on the ground and she jumped down, ready to cut the kunoichi to pieces.
"Wolf Claw!" She called out as she was just above the pinkette, but just before she could land a hit, Zolo suddenly appeared, blocking her claws with two of his swords before pushing her back, forcing her to leap away.
"Heh. I was finally able to catch up to you." Zolo said before putting the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth as he unsheathed his third sword and held the swords that he had in his hands up in front of him at an angle before spinning them rapidly as he ran towards Fugai.
"You really think those swords will be able to stop me?" Fugai asked.
"Santoryu Ogi: Sanzen Sekai!" Zolo then shot straight past Fugai and even made hole in the wall behind her.
"I-impossible… I'm in the form… of a powerful Ultimate-Level Digimon. How could a few swords… have harmed… me?" Fugai asked as she reverted into her human form before falling down, dead.
"Zolo-san!" Sakura said as Zolo sheathed his weapons before turning to her.
"You all right?" He asked.
"Yeah. Thanks for the help." Sakura said.
"No problem." Zolo said before the two of them noticed that Fugai's body was suddenly covered by a bright greenish light and when the light died down, Fugai's body had been replaced by some sort of crystal- Sakura then bent down and picked it up before raising to her feet.
"This must be a Stone of Gelel." She said before thinking a little and continuing "I wonder if that other girl also has one."
Shikamaru/Gaomon & Kurotsuchi/Coronamon vs Kamira
Shikamaru, Kurotsuchi, Gaomon and Coronamon jumped around as they threw kunai with strings attached to them and each string had many explosive tags on them. Kamira dodged the projectiles before said projectiles imbedded themselves in the wall.
"Hahahahaha. Hmm… You don't think this'll hold me, do you?" Kamira asked.
"You probably shouldn't move around too much, you know." Shikamaru said before throwing a stone at one of the explosive tags, causing it to explode.
"You know, Pony-Tail, she's in the form of an Ultimate-Level Digimon, so an explosion won't do much." Kurotsuchi informed.
"Huh. Oh look, an escape route." Kamira said before flying down and flying back up again as she said "Just kidding. You're shadow's waiting for me down there, isn't it, handsome?" She then flew up to just in front of the ledge that the ninja and their respective Digimon partners where standing before flying backwards, away from them "There's more than enough room for me up here. And your shadow still can't reach me, can it?"
She then heard a weird sound behind her and she looked over her shoulder to see a puppet which had its stomach open. She then attempted to fly away, but Kurotsuchi had other plans.
'Oh no, you don't!' She thought before weaving a series of hand signs for a Kekkei Genkai she recently discovered that she had "Yoton: Sekkaigyo no Jutsu!"
She then spat out a large amount of quicklime which covered Kamira's body and said woman found it extremely hard to move.
'Ugh. What is this stuff? I-I can't… move.' She thought before Black Ant closed itself around her, trapping her in its stomach "Hey, let me out! Let me out!" She yelled as she knocked on the inside of the puppet before several scythe-like blades appeared, cutting her up.
"Kurohigi Kiki Nihatsu!" Kankuro said from his hiding place.
"It was just as I planned, more or less." Shikamaru said before jumping down to a lower ledge followed by Kurotsuchi and the Digimon before Kankuro came over to them.
"You saved our butts." Shikamaru said.
"Forget it, I had a score to settle with her anyway." Kankuro said as Black Ant came down and the Puppet-Master looked around "You know, all this explosive tags of yours are going to be a real pain to get around."
"Don't worry. Most of these are just regular pieces of paper." Shikamaru said.
"Really?" Kankuro asked.
"Yeah. I still can't believe she was fooled by it." Kurotsuchi said.
"Huh? Hey, aren't you a ninja from Iwa? What are you doing here?" Kankuro asked.
"Yeah, now that you mention it, I've been wondering that myself." Shikamaru said as both he and Kankuro looked at the kunoichi.
Mines of Gelel, Chamber of Sealing
Kahiko was sent flying to the floor near the middle of the room after having attempted to attack Temujin.
"How foolish! Did you seriously think you'd surprise me?" Temujin asked.
"No. I suppose I didn't." Kahiko said before raising to his feet "But I've achieved my goal all the same."
"Nani?" Temujin asked.
"Do you know what the design on this floor is? It's an ancient form of Kuchiyose no Jutsu used to call forth an immeasurable power." Kahiko said as he started walking towards the center of the room.
"What are you getting at?" Temujin asked.
"Here we breathe our last!" Kahiko yelled as he was about to stab his knife – which had some of Temujin's blood on it – into the floor, but just then said knife was knocked away by a seemingly invisible power.
Just then there was an explosion at the entrance to the room and as the dust cloud cleared, Haido and the three armored soldiers could be seen.
"I'm not all-together sure about what he was planning there, but I'm glad I came when I did." Haido said.
"Haido-sama?" Temujin said.
"Temujin-kun, are you all right?" Haido asked as he walked towards the boy.
"Haido-sama, how did you…?" Temujin asked.
"Oh!" Haido then removed the glove on his right hand to reveal a finger-less glove underneath with a Stone of Gelel imbedded into it "I was using this."
"That's… a Stone of Gelel." Temujin said.
"Hmhmhm. It's just like in the book. Amazing, isn't it? I can blow things away without touching them." Haido said as he turned around and aimed the stone up at the wall, and suddenly there was a small explosion.
"Are you referring to the Book of Gelel?" Kahiko asked.
"Sorry." Haido said.
"How could it come into your possession?" Kahiko asked.
"Ahaha. It's funny actually. I bought it from a peddler at the side of the road." Haido said as he started walking.
"That is utterly impossible! I thought there was something strange here! You destroyed this boy's village to get to the Stone of Gelel, didn't you?" Kahiko asked as he pointed an accusing finger at Haido and Temujin let out a slight gasp.
"Heheh. Oh. What is the cause of all this doubt? My only goal in life is to rid this world of war. How could you even say such things?" Haido said, trying to act innocent.
"One who truly wanted peace would never seek out the power of Gelel!" Kahiko yelled.
"I desire the ability to put an end to war. There's nothing more to it than that." Haido said before looking around while saying "Let's see now. Where might those mines be?"
"I can tell how black your heart is just by looking in your eyes!" Kahiko yelled.
"Hmmm. I don't even know where to begin." Haido said as he looked around before noticing something coming out of the floor "Could this really be it?" He then walked towards it.
"It must be the key that grants access to the Mines of Gelel!" Haido said as he looked at it.
"NO! Don't touch it! That isn't meant for you!" Kahiko yelled before Nerugui suddenly showed up and ran towards Haido before jumping up towards him, but a force-field appeared, sending the ferret flying towards Kahiko, and he hit the floor halfway to the old man.
"Nerugui…" Kahiko said before running over to the ferret, falling down on his knees and picking the old animal up as a small stone – which was obviously a Stone of Gelel – suddenly fell out from the ferret's mouth.
"Ooh. There was a small stone in its mouth. The poor thing. Yet another noble sacrifice. Honestly, those who stand at the top have to make such tough decisions." Haido said.
"I've had about enough of you!" Kahiko said.
"Ah, it breaks my heart. One more sacrifice for the cause it seems." Haido said as he aimed his stone at the old man and fired, but just then, there was a purple blur and suddenly Dorumon appeared in front of Kahiko, taking the blow for him.
"Coward. Attacking a defenseless old man." Dorumon said.
"Sorry, but I just can't seem to control my power very well yet." Haido said as he looked at the stone before aiming it at Dorumon "Well, anyway." He then fired again, but this time, Temujin blocked it with his sword "What do you think you're doing, Temujin-kun?"
"Forgive me, master." Temujin said as he went down on his knees "It's just… The Mines of Gelel are in our possession now. If we were to toss this helpless old man and Dorumon aside…"
"That's not what I meant!" Haido said, causing the boy to look up in confusion "Don't stand in the way of my target."
"Uh, Haido-sama…?" Temujin asked.
"You heard me, lad. You're in the way, step aside!" Haido said as he fired the stone again, but this time, Sasuke appeared and grabbed Kahiko before leaping away as Dorumon jumped after them.
"For someone so small, you move pretty fast, dobe." Sasuke said as he let Kahiko down on the floor. The armored soldiers then started moving towards Sasuke and Dorumon, but they stopped after a glare from Haido.
"This is becoming so tiresome." Haido said before aiming the stone at Sasuke. The Uchiha then dodged the explosion before Haido fired again several more times, but Sasuke kept on dodging.
"Temujin-kun! What are you just standing there for? Are you going to kill them or not?" Haido asked before Temujin rose to his feet.
"Don't do it, Temujin!" Dorumon yelled, but then he noticed that Temujin wasn't doing anything.
"You call this a noble sacrifice?" He asked quietly.
"What's wrong? Take care of them like you always do! Hurry up!" Haido said, but just then Temujin thought back to the guy who destroyed his village.
"No. I've had enough. I can't." He said.
"Ah. Temujin-kun. I'm very disappointed in you. You're an inferior individual. No different from your parents." Haido said, causing the blond knight to look up and he noticed Haido's grin, which was the exact same as the one of the guy who had destroyed his village "You really are a pathetic little brat."
"But that's… impossible…" Temujin said before Haido began laughing.
"That's right! It was me! Such blindness, latching on to the very man who murdered your parents! What an adorable little pawn you are." Haido said before he started walking towards Temujin as he fired from the stone at said boy "But now that I know where the stones are, I hardly need you anymore, do I?" As Haido was talking, Temujin was blocking the shots with his sword, but after a while, the sword was knocked out of his hands.
Just then, Haido's clothes ripped off to reveal scaly skin underneath before the hat was ripped to pieces as the man's hair turned white, his eyes turned red and his skin turned grey.
He then grabbed the boy by his collar before lifting him into the air.
"Haido… sama…" Temujin managed cough out.
"Die you good for nothing mongrel!" Haido said before punching through Temujin's armor as a bright light came out of said boy's back and the man-turned-monster pulled out a Stone of Gelel before breaking it "Now the entire world will fall to its knees before the mighty Gelelmon-sama!"
'Gelelmon?' Dorumon thought as the name sounded familiar to him.
Haido then threw Temujin away, but Sasuke managed to catch the boy in mid-air before landing on the floor and putting the boy down.
"Sasuke, Dorumon!" Kahiko said, getting the two's attention "I beg of you, you have to figure out a way to stop him."
"Don't worry, we've got this." Sasuke said.
"Yeah." Dorumon said.
"Worthless trash." Haido said as he looked at Temujin before around to walk towards the device which came out of the floor earlier, only to find Dorumon standing in the way.
"Where do you think you're going?" Dorumon asked.
"Everywhere I look, there's trash." Haido said before vanishing and reappearing in Dorumon's face before kicking the Rookie into the air before jumping up, clasping his hands together and slamming them into Dorumon's back, sending the dragon back down, creating a small crater.
"Katon: Goukakyo no Jutsu!" Sasuke called out as Haido was still in mid-air, meaning there was no way for him to dodge, but just then four black strips appeared in mid-air behind his back and he dodged the ball of heated oxygen before landing.
"Those tricks of yours are no threat to me." Haido stated.
"Hyper Dash Metal!" Dorumon then suddenly slammed into Haido's back, but it didn't seem to have done any damage. Haido then vanished and reappeared behind the dragon.
"Shogekiha!" Haido said and Dorumon was suddenly sent flying as he felt as though his back was ripped open.
"Ah! Dorumon!" Sasuke called out as the dragon hit a wall.
'… I… But we were…' Temujin thought as he watched the battle going on 'What on earth have we done?'
"Katon: Housenka no Jutsu!" Sasuke called out as he fired several balls of fire at Haido, but the strips suddenly moved in front of the man, protecting him from the fire balls and the shuriken within them. The strips then formed into some kind of cyclone that headed for Sasuke, but the Uchiha dodged it.
'Wait a minute!' Dorumon thought as he got up on his feet and remembered where he'd heard Gelelmon's name before 'Isn't Gelelmon the one that Luu-san warned us about?'
Sasuke then activated his Sharingan before pulling out two kunai and he threw them towards the man, however the strips defended Haido from it.
"Metal Cannon!" Several metal spheres were fired at Haido, but the strips still protected him "Ugh. It's no use! No matter what we do, it still isn't able to hit him."
"Why don't the two of you just give up already?" Haido asked.
"Forget it!" Sasuke said before thinking 'Ugh. At this rate I might have to use it.'
Cliff
As Sasuke and Dorumon were fighting Haido, the others were getting the children out of the moving structure. As Kurotsuchi came out with one of the children, her D-Ark suddenly beeped and she put the child down before looking at the device.
"What the…?" She said as the information of a Digimon she'd never seen before came up.
"What is it?" Zolo asked as he came over.
"My D-Ark's showing me information on a Digimon I've never seen before in my life. How's that possible?" Kurotsuchi asked.
"You're right, mines showing the same information." Shikamaru said as he looked at his own D-Ark.
"Haidomon, a Mega-Level Digimon." Kurotsuchi read and everyone's eyes widened before she decided to continue "An ancient Digimon who – despite being a Mega – was said to even be capable of tangling with powerful Super Ultimate-Level Digimon like Fanglongmon. He was also the right-hand man of the impossibly strong Gelelmon. His attacks are: Teleport, Shogekiha and Laser of Gelel."
"He can even take on Super Ultimates?" Coronamon asked.
"Wait a minute. Isn't Haido the name of the one that was the leader of those girls?" Zolo asked.
"Yeah, it was." Sakura said.
"Then, you don't think…?" Shikamaru asked as he looked towards the chasm that the temple lay in.
"In that case, things are worse than I feared." Everyone then looked towards where the voice came from to see a cloaked figure.
Mines of Gelel, Chamber of Sealing
Sasuke and Dorumon were both sent flying backwards before they both regained balance in mid-air and skidded along the floor, stopping next to Temujin.
"Hey, are you just gonna give up here? Wasn't it your dream to build a Utopia?" Dorumon asked before Sasuke went through a series of hand signs… the hand signs for his strongest Jutsu.
The Uchiha then charged at Haido as his left hand was engulfed in lightning and he called out "CHIDORI!" The attack struck home, but there were still no damage done and Sasuke's eyes widened 'Nani?'
"Is that really all you've got?" Haido – or rather – Haidomon said as he grabbed the Uchiha's arm before throwing the boy away like a ragdoll.
"SASUKE!" Dorumon yelled as the Uchiha crashed into a wall.
"You're next!" Dorumon looked over his shoulder just in time to see Haidomon standing there before said Mega kicked the Rookie, sending him into the wall.
"I was hoping I'd never have to resort to using this power ever again. But it seems that this is the only way we'll win." Sasuke said as he rose to his feet and Temujin's eyes widened when he saw that the Uchiha was covered in black flame-like tattoos.
"And how's getting tattoos gonna help you, exactly?" Haido asked, but just then, Sasuke's skin and hair turned grey and hand-like wings suddenly came out of his back, making two large holes in the back of his t-shirt.
"Now that my strength has increased by 10 times, there's no way you'll win." Sasuke said before he suddenly vanished and appeared behind Haidomon before kicking the Mega into the air.
Haidomon flipped in mid-air before sending a powerful shockwave out of his body which would've hit everyone in the room, but to everyone's surprise, the armored soldiers came up in front of Sasuke, Dorumon and Temujin.
The souls of the children that were in them then rose up to return to their original bodies and among those souls were Temujin's childhood friend.
"Everyone… what… what have I done?" Temujin asked no one in particular before the empty armors fell to the floor.
"Foolish children. I told them not to interfere, but I guess they're at that age. Well, no matter. I'll take care of you myself then!" Haidomon said before Sasuke flew up, into the air and punched him in the face.
Haidomon then kicked Sasuke back before the strips latched out towards the Uchiha as said Uchiha stopped himself from colliding with the wall, using his wings and he dodged the strips. He then weaved a series of hand signs before his left hand was once again covered in lightning, but this time, the lightning was black.
"That technique again?" Haidomon asked as Sasuke flew towards him.
"CHIDORI!" Sasuke called out as he approached his opponent and jabbed straight through were Haidomon's heart would be before kicking the Mega into the ceiling before said Mega fell to the ground.
"Is it over?" Dorumon asked, but just then his, Sasuke's, Temujin's and Kahiko's eyes widened when Haidomon rose up to his feet and the wound he received from Sasuke healed itself.
"Hahaha! This power is amazing!" Haidomon said as Kahiko looked up towards the ceiling to see a large hole where the Mega had impacted earlier, and behind the hole was the Vein of Gelel visible.
"Oh no! It's the mines!" He said as he realized that that's how Haidomon was healing so fast.
"Tch. This is just getting harder and harder." Sasuke said before weaving a series of hand signs "Katon: Goukakyo no Jutsu!"
A blue fire ball was then fired from Sasuke's mouth and headed towards Haidomon, and as it made contact, a huge explosion was formed. However when the smoke cleared it revealed that Haidomon hadn't even sustained a single scratch. (Kurama no Kyubi: The reason the fire ball is blue is because Sasuke's in his curse mark level 2 form, and I don't think he ever did use Katon Jutsus while in that form, so I decided that when in that form any Katon Jutsus he'd do would be blue.)
"Is that all you've got? I thought you said that you were now 10 times stronger than you were before." Haidomon said before vanishing and reappearing over the Uchiha.
Haidomon then held his hands together as he slammed them into Sasuke, sending him into the floor next to where Temujin and Dorumon were. As he then attempted to get back up on his feet, he felt a sting of pain in his neck where the curse mark was before he turned back into his curse mark level 1 form.
'Kuso! I was hoping it'd last a little longer.' He thought as Haidomon landed.
"Now, let's bring this to an end, shall we?" Haidomon asked as he aimed the stone at the three before a powerful beam of energy were fired at them.
"Sasuke, Dorumon!" Kahiko yelled as the beam approached the three.
"Veemon Mega-Digivolve to… UlforceVeedramon!"
Suddenly came a humanoid-looking Digimon down through the ceiling and landed in front of the three as a cloaked figure landed next to the Mega-Level. The Digimon was twice as tall as a full-grown human, had his body mostly covered in blue armor though on his chest was a golden "V" and he had weird bracelets around his wrists. He also had blue wings with a pink underside which almost acted like a cape.
"Tensegrity Shield!" UlforceVeedramon said as he held his left arm in front of his chest as though he was holding a shield and suddenly some sort of blue aura appeared around the bracelet on his left wrist to form a shield.
Haidomon's attack then hit the shield and UlforceVeedramon's wings and the cloaked figure's cloak blew in the powerful winds that came from the impact between the beam of energy and the shield.
"Well, what have we here? And I who had so much trouble locating the last member of the Digi-Destined generation of 30 years ago. And here you just fall down into my lap, Monkey D. Dragon." Haidomon said.
'Dragon?' Sasuke thought as he looked at the cloaked figure, remembering that his brother had once mentioned a man named Dragon who had suddenly vanished after the Kyubi incident.
"Haidomon, right-hand man of Gelelmon, I will personally make sure that your master won't be resurrected." Dragon said as he pulled his hood back to reveal long, wild black hair and red tattoos that went down the left side of his face.
"I don't know who you two are, but thank you." Dorumon said.
"Dorumon. Uchiha Sasuke." Dragon said, and the two looked up, surprised that he knew their names "You should stand back, this could get pretty ugly."
"Ulforce Saber!" UlforceVeedramon said as he charged at Haidomon and a blue sword came out of his right bracelet.
"Shogekiha!" Haidomon said and UlforceVeedramon's charge was stopped by a strong shockwave and the sword was dispelled.
'Nani…? He was able to stand up to that attack?' Sasuke thought.
"UlforceVeedramon, don't falter in your attacks." Dragon said.
"Right." UlforceVeedramon said before the sword came back out of the bracelet and he charged at Haidomon again.
"Ulforce Saber!" He called out as he approached Haidomon, but the latter dodged it before punching UlforceVeedramon in the gut.
UlforceVeedramon then punched Haidomon's face with his left hand before kicking him so hard that he was sent flying into the wall.
"You can't win this, Haidomon." Dragon said and meanwhile on the outside were the previously clear skies filled with storm clouds before a bolt of lightning shot down and into the temple before reaching the mines and hitting Haidomon.
"Y-you did it!" Dorumon exclaimed.
"No. He can survive a battle with a Super Ultimate, there's no way that did him in." Dragon said.
Suddenly Haidomon's arm rose up from the rubble before said Mega rose up to his feet.
"Impressive. So, you can control the weather? I can see why Gelelmon-sama would fear you." He said before vanishing and reappearing behind Dragon "But you're still just a human."
Haidomon then jabbed Dragon straight through the heart and his hand emerged from the human's chest. He then smiled before Dragon looked over his shoulder to reveal a grin and the Mega raised an eyebrow before Dragon suddenly vanished in a burst of wind and said win cut through Haidomon's skin.
"You really thought that I'd be stupid enough to let my guard down?" Dragon – who was now next to his partner – asked.
UlforceVeedramon then charged at Haidomon, but the latter flew up into the air to avoid the former's sword. However Dragon then weaved through a series of hand signs.
"Futon: Furyudan no Jutsu!" He called out before a Dragon of wind came out of his mouth before going towards Haidomon, and this time the Mega wasn't able to dodge and instead took the full force of the impact.
Sasuke, Dorumon and Temujin then ran over to Kahiko in order to stay out of the line of fire.
"When looking at this, I realize just how weak we all are." Dorumon said and Sasuke slowly nodded while gritting his teeth.
The strips behind Haidomon's back then latched out towards Dragon, but said human dodged it with ease before running towards the wall and running up said wall before jumping off and towards Haidomon as a sphere of chakra suddenly formed in his right hand.
'That's…!' Dorumon and Sasuke thought at the same time before Dragon slammed the sphere into Haidomon's back.
"RASENGAN!" Haidomon was then sent spiraling towards the wall on the opposite end of the room before slamming into aid wall.
"Well, that's quite an interesting technique you've got there, but I'm afraid that it won't be nearly enough to defeat me." Haidomon said as the wound on his back where the Rasengan had hit him healed and he got out of the hole that had formed in the wall before turning around to face his enemies.
"No way! He took a direct hit from a Rasengan and can still fight?" Sasuke said shocked.
"I-I don't believe it…" Dorumon said.
"I had no idea Haido-sama was this strong." Temujin said.
"You still refer to him as "sama"? Even when knowing that he's the one that murdered your parents and destroyed your village?" Dorumon yelled as he glared at the knight.
"Laser of Gelel!" Haidomon said as he aimed the stone at UlforceVeedramon and suddenly came a large beam of energy out of the stone.
"Shining V Force!" UlforceVeedramon said and a V-shaped beam was fired out of the "V" on his chest.
The two beams then impacted with each other and powerful winds started blowing out from the point of impact as the floor, walls and ceiling started being ripped off by the winds.
"What power…!" Sasuke said as he channeled chakra through his feet to maintain his balance as Dorumon stuck his claws into the floor and Temujin stuck his sword into the floor as he held on to it while also holding onto Kahiko who was holding the body of Nerugui. Dragon however didn't seem to be faced by the winds at all and was just standing there as his cloak and hair blew in the wind.
Temple of Gelel, moving structure
Zolo and Kurotsuchi had followed Dragon and Veemon down into the moving structure, but now thanks to Zolo, they were lost.
"Do you even know where we're going?" Kurotsuchi asked as they walked through a corridor.
"Sure. It's this way." Zolo said before taking a left turn into another corridor.
"Gah. I knew I shouldn't have followed this baka!" Kurotsuchi muttered to herself as she followed him.
As the two of them continued down the corridor, Zolo noticed something as they approached a fork, and he grabbed the kunoichi before hiding in a side-corridor as he looked around the corner.
What he saw however was something that he'd never expected, there was a shadowy figure about as tall as a full-grown human walking through the corridor from the left end of the fork to the right end.
'What was that?' Zolo thought after the shadowy figure was out of sight. The two then walked towards the fork before looking in the direction the figure had walked in.
"Do you know what that thing is? It doesn't look like any Digimon I've ever seen or heard about." Kurotsuchi said.
"I don't know, but we should follow him." Zolo said and they started following the figure.
Mines of Gelel, Chamber of Sealing
The two beams of energy were still competing for dominance, but then UlforceVeedramon's attack started pushing back Haidomon's attack before it hit said Mega. Haidomon was then sent crashing into the ceiling above the device which had come out of the floor earlier and he fell down, nearly hitting said device. He then attempted to stand back up, and once he got to his feet, he aimed the stone at UlforceVeedramon again, preparing for another attack.
"UlforceVeedramon!" Dragon said.
"Right! Dragon Impulse X!" UlforceVeedramon said before he was covered in the aura of a dragon and he shot towards and straight past Haidomon as he slashed said Mega, killing him as his body turned into black data before said data vanished. (Kurama no Kyubi: Note that in this story, red data means that they're captured, yellow data means that they're sent to either the Dark Area or are reborn and black data pretty much means death.)
Suddenly the device cracked before breaking as pieces of it flew everywhere, and the entire room started shaking as rocks fell from the ceiling followed by the pillars and the walls as the floor started breaking off.
"Oh no. That's… that's the mine! The source of life!" Kahiko said as he and the others could see what looked like a green, liquid substance above them.
"Hey, can you fill us in or something?" Sasuke asked as he looked at the old man.
"When the key that unlocks the mine was destroyed just now, the seal was broken!" Kahiko said.
"So what does that actually mean?" Temujin asked.
"It means that the mines are spiraling out of control." Dragon said as he stood on another platform than the others.
Cliff
Sakura was checking the condition on the children, having learned some medical stuff from Tsunade.
"How are they?" Shikamaru asked as he came with two other children before putting them down on the ground.
"They're still breathing, thankfully. But they're not regaining consciousness." Sakura said as she looked at Shikamaru.
"I see." The Nara said before standing up, and they suddenly felt a small earthquake hit them.
"What's going on?" Sakura asked as she and Shikamaru looked over their shoulders towards the moving structure.
"I don't know. But whatever it is, it sure doesn't sound good." Shikamaru said before Gaomon and Coronamon suddenly came running from the structure.
"Guys, the temple have started to collapse!" Gaomon said.
"Nani?" Sakura said.
"And that's not all, we can smell a Digimon down there, but the smell's completely different from everything I've ever smelled before." Coronamon said.
"One thing's certain though, the Digimon was followed by the scent of death." Gaomon said and both humans' eyes widened.
Mines of Gelel, Heart of the Mines
"What happens when it goes out of control?" Dorumon asked.
"If it isn't stopped in time, then the entirety of the Land of Fire, Land of Wind and half of the Land of Earth and Land of Lightning will be reduced to nothing more than a smoking crater." Dragon said and from the looks of it, he was speaking with experience.
Flashback
The group of 7 Digi-Destined children had managed to get themselves separated into two groups, one group was Minato, Dragon, Nagato and Shanks and the other was Kushina, Darui and Ao.
Minato's team was currently inside one of the many Mines of Gelel that existed across the Digital World. They had heard that the X-Antibody Digimon had been spotted in close proximity to it and they immediately went to investigate.
It seemed that the X-Antibody Digimon were trying to seize the mine for themselves, but after a hard battle, the captain of the X-Antibody forces – seeing that he couldn't win – decided that if they couldn't have the mine, then no one could and he proceeded to fire off in every direction, making the mines unstable. As he fired all around him, he didn't notice however that the platform under his feet started to crumble and he fell to his death, disappearing as black data.
Minato and Dragon, along with Elecmon and Veemon were the only ones who were at the heart of the mines though as Nagato, Shanks and their partners were all higher up.
"The mine's getting unstable, we should get out of here." Elecmon said.
"You're right, Dragon, c'mon." Minato said as he turned to Dragon, but just then said Digi-Destined lost his footing as he fell off the platform.
"Ah! DRAGON!" Minato called out as he threw himself to the floor and grabbed Dragon's hand.
"Aaaaah! Minato, don't let go!" Dragon yelled.
"Don't worry, Dragon. I wouldn't dream of it." Minato said, but soon Dragon's hand started slipping.
"AH! I'm slipping." He said before slipping out of Minato's hand entirely and falling down.
"DRAGON!" Minato yelled.
"Bansho Tennin!" Dragon was then suddenly pulled towards a higher platform and Minato looked up to see Nagato standing on said platform and next to him was his partner, Patamon, who – for some unknown reason – also seemed to possess the Rinnegan.
"Nagato, Patamon!" Minato exclaimed before he, Elecmon and Veemon were also pulled up to the higher platform by the Rinnegan bearer's Bansho Tennin.
"Where's Shanks and Agumon?" Minato asked.
"They're still higher up, my Kage Bunshins are helping them fight the enemy though." Nagato said as he deactivated his eyes.(Kurama no Kyubi: Note that there aren't any physical changes to his eyes when he deactivates them.)
"Good, we should regroup with them before getting out of here." Minato said before they all ran off.
It didn't take long for them to find the two since Nagato pretty much already knew where they were thanks to his shared vision with his clones. They then got out of there as quickly as they could before running as far away from the mines as possible before said mines vanished in a massive explosion that formed a crater which was at least as big as the Land of Fire. (Kurama no Kyubi: Note that these mines were a LOT smaller than the ones Sasuke and the others will be in in the future.)
Flashback end
"Do you know how to stop it?" Temujin asked, but Kahiko spoke before Dragon could answer.
"There's nothing we can do. It's too late to stop it now." Kahiko said.
"Actually, there is a way." Dragon said, causing everyone to look at him as he continued "While you can't bring this under control again, there is a way for the mines to be destroyed. But you must do it." He pointed at Temujin.
"What do you mean?" Temujin asked.
"Place your hand at the center of the Kuchiyose circle." Dragon said.
"Kuchiyose…? Wait is he gonna summon something?" Sasuke asked.
"What's he gonna summon?" Dorumon asked.
"A Space-Time rift." Dragon said.
"A Space-Time rift? What's that?" Sasuke asked.
"It is a boundless void that will engulf everything around it, but it will form from the point the Jutsu is executed. The person who performs the ritual will be sacrificed, never to return." Kahiko explained.
"I understand." Temujin said before he started to walk towards the edge of the platform they were on.
"Forget about it, there's no way I'd let anyone…" Dorumon said but he was interrupted when a shadowy figure suddenly came down and stopped in mid-air.
"Ah! That's…" Dragon said.
"So, Haidomon was defeated. Well, I don't have any more needs for him anyway." The figure said before he started laughing "Muahahahahaha! Now, after 30 years, I will finally return!"
"Not if I have anything to say!" Dragon said as he jumped towards the figure and attempted to punch him, but he just went right through as though the figure wasn't a physical entity.
"You really thought you could take me on, Monkey D. Dragon?" The figure asked before there was a sudden shockwave and Dragon was sent straight into the platform that the others were standing on as UlforceVeedramon jumped over there as well.
"Ah! Dragon-san!" Dorumon exclaimed.
'Nani? This guy… he was able to defeat Dragon so easily.' Sasuke thought.
"Hey. Dinosaur, Sasuke, jiji." Zolo said as he and Kurotsuchi arrived into the room.
"Grrr. For the last time, I'm a dragon! D-R-A-G-O-N! Dragon!" Dorumon yelled as the two approached them.
"Temujin. You should get over to the Kuchiyose circle, we'll hold this guy back." Dragon said as he got up on his feet.
"Right." Temujin said before running towards the edge of the platform again before jumping over to a platform that acted like a bridge.
"Like I'll let you." The figure said before raising his left arm and the green liquid suddenly shot down and headed towards Temujin almost as though it was bending to the figures will.
"Temujin!" Dorumon yelled before running after the blond and he jumped into the air in-between the blond and the liquid Gelel.
"Ah!" Dorumon!" Temujin exclaimed as he stopped running.
"Don't stop! Keep on running!" Dragon yelled and Temujin reluctantly complied.
Dorumon landed on the platform as a green aura seemed to have formed around him instead of the red which had appeared earlier.
"What just happened?" Kurotsuchi asked.
"The liquid Gelel bended to that figure's will because that figure… is Gelelmon!" Dragon said and everyone's eyes widened.
Cliff
Kankuro came out of the moving structure with two more children as Shikamaru asked "How many are left?"
"Not a lot. Just two or three of them." Kankuro said.
"All right, then." Shikamaru said before thinking 'Sasuke, Dorumon, you two better get out of there in one piece.'
Mines of Gelel, Heart of the Mines
Dorumon slowly got up on his feet before letting out a powerful roar and he was suddenly enshrouded in a bright white light.
"What the…? Is he Digivolving?" Kurotsuchi asked.
"No, this is…" Dragon said before powerful winds came out of Dorumon's body and the green aura had now been replaced by a white one as said aura formed four large wings that came out of the dragon's back, two of the wings looked like those you'd find on birds while the other two looked like those you'd find on bats.
"You think that even with your power-boost, you'll be able to defeat me? Ha, don't make me laugh!" Gelelmon said.
"Dash…" Dorumon then suddenly vanished and not even a second later, he slammed into Gelelmon "… Metal!" And Gelelmon was sent flying into the wall.
"So fast…!" Kurotsuchi said with wide eyes.
'That speed… It was as fast as Minato's Hirashin!' Dragon thought.
'Nani? How did that dobe get so strong all of a sudden?' Sasuke thought.
Gelelmon then made two streams of liquid Gelel come down and said streams flew towards Dorumon from two sides until they slammed into him. However, then an invisible barrier suddenly seemed to surround him as the Gelel couldn't reach him.
'He's able to protect himself from my Gelel?' Gelelmon thought.
Land of Whirlpools, Uzushio, training field 1
Naruto and Fu were taking a small break from the training as they sat together on a rock that was just big enough for the both of them. Naruto had decided to tell his fellow Jinchuriki about some of his adventures and he was just done with telling her about his battle in the preliminaries.
"You really won by farting?" Fu asked while giggling.
"Um, yeah. I guess. It was only accidental though, but it did give me the time I needed to show off my new technique." Naruto said.
"So, what happened after that?" Fu asked.
"Then it was Hinata vs Neji. Cousin vs cousin." Naruto said.
"That must've been hard for both of them." Fu said.
"Well, it was for Hinata, but Neji probably used the exams as an excuse to kill her." Naruto said.
"Nani? Why would he do that?" Fu asked.
"Well, you see, they're both from the Hyuga clan, Hinata's from the main branch and Neji from the cadet branch. Apparently there's been a lot of bad blood between the two sides of the clan." Naruto said.
"I see. So what happened?" Fu asked.
"Hinata lost, and barely survived. Afterwards, I swore to defeat Neji for her." Naruto said.
"So, you like her then? I see…" Fu said under her breath as she seemed to get disappointed.
"Of course I like her, she's my friend." Naruto said as he had heard her.
"That's not what I meant." Fu muttered to herself, though the blond had heard her thanks to his abnormal hearing.
"Then what did you mean?" Naruto asked.
"I mean, like like. You do know what that means… right?" Fu asked and Naruto thought for a little while, but then it hit him, making him blush.
"Oh! Well, no. I don't like her that way. I only like her as a friend." He said.
'Good. Then I may still have a chance!' Fu thought before saying "Just out of curiosity, is there anyone you like?"
"Well, there was this girl I had a crush on, but I'm over her now." Naruto said, having gotten over Sakura shortly after he met Fu actually.
"Say Naruto-kun, I was wondering." Fu said as she looked at Naruto and started blushing "Umm… What kind of qualities do you like in a girl?"
"What kind of qualities I like in a girl? I don't know, but I suppose I'd like them if they're pretty, smart, stuff like that." Naruto said as he turned his head to look at Fu and had to blush at how close their faces were. (Kurama no Kyubi: They're sitting on a small rock just big enough for both of them, and they're looking at each other, it would only make sense for their faces to be only mere inches apart.)
"Oh! And I suppose if they've known loneliness, and can understand me as well." Naruto said, not realizing that his and Fu's faces were getting closer to one-another as their eyes started closing.
"Known loneliness? You mean like me?" Fu asked, not realizing that their faces were getting closer either as their eyes closed completely.
"Yeah…" Naruto said and before anyone knew what was happening, their lips made contact and they started kissing.
Land of Fire, Mines of Gelel, Heart of the Mines
"Metal Cannon!" Dorumon called out, firing off several metallic spheres at Gelelmon, sending said Digimon into the wall.
"Heh. Gelelmon doesn't stand a chance against Dorumon." Kurotsuchi said before thinking 'Sugoi! I would never have imagined that that goggle-head's Digimon could be this strong!'
"Hey, you! Do you know what that aura around Dorumon is?" Sasuke asked as he looked at Dragon.
"It's something called Burst Mode." Dragon said.
"Burst Mode?" Zolo asked.
"Hey. I've heard about that. Burst Mode can give Megas who don't have the ability to go to the Super Ultimate-Level a huge power-up that will make them as powerful as a Super Ultimate." Kurotsuchi said before she looked back up at Dorumon and continued "But I thought that only Megas could enter Burst Mode."
"While that is true, in some rare cases, a Rookie can also gain the ability to enter Burst Mode. And whenever a Rookie does enter Burst Mode, they get a power boost which is so great that even most Super Ultimates wouldn't be able to beat them. This is however only possible if the Digimon's human partner has an unbreakable spirit." Dragon explained.
'An unbreakable spirit?' Sasuke thought as he was – for some reason – reminded of Naruto, and he looked back up at Dorumon 'Dorumon, just who is your partner?'
In the meantime, Temujin reached the center platform where the Kuchiyose formula was, and he walked into the middle of the formula before going down on his knees as he placed his right palm on the floor. A black void then started spreading in all directions from the knight.
Cliff
On the cliff were Shikamaru, Sakura, Gaomon, Kankuro, Gaara and Coronamon standing as the moving structure started to sink down into a black void which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
"No way." Sakura said.
"You think Kurotsuchi and the others are all right?" Coronamon asked.
"They're pretty strong, I'm sure they'll be just fine." Shikamaru said.
Mines of Gelel, Heart of the Mines
"NO! What have you done? If you destroy the Gelel, I won't be able to return!" Gelelmon said as he was also sucked into the void along with all of the liquid Gelel.
"That's kind of the point." Kurotsuchi said.
"We should get out of here!" Dragon said as he was holding Dorumon who had somehow been knocked unconscious when the space-time rift was summoned.
"Right." Zolo said before turning to Kurotsuchi "Can you release that bird of yours?"
"All right. Reload, Birdramons!" Kurotsuchi said and her two Birdramons came out of the X-Loader.
Dragon then went up on UlforceVeedramon's back as Kurotsuchi and Kahiko – who was holding Nerugui – went up on the back of one of the Birdramons and Sasuke and Zolo went up on the back of the other one.
The three Digimon then began to fly up, towards the temple until Sasuke spotted Temujin.
"Hey, what about Temujin?" He asked.
"Just leave him! He wanted this, remember?" Kurotsuchi said.
"No, we're not leaving without him!" Sasuke said before directing the Birdramon to fly towards Temujin who was sitting on the center platform as it crumbled and was sucked into the void.
Temujin then started falling as the platform had completely crumbled and as he waited to die, what he didn't expect happened. Someone grabbed him and when he looked up, he looked straight into Sasuke's Sharingan. (Kurama no Kyubi: He activated his eyes because Birdramon was flying so fast that he wouldn't have been capable of catching Temujin with using his normal eyes.)
"What…?" Temujin said before the Uchiha pulled him up.
Cliff
"Sasuke-kun… Where's Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked as she looked at Shikamaru before looking back at the black void "He and the others aren't still in there, are they?" She then ran toward the edge.
"Sakura wait… Kuso!" Shikamaru said as he, Gaomon and Coronamon ran after her.
The moving structure was then pulled into the void before said void vanished as Sakura, Shikamaru, Gaomon and Coronamon got down to a ledge further down.
"SASUKE-KUN, WHERE ARE YOU?" Sakura yelled.
"KUROTSUCHI!" Coronamon yelled just before UlforceVeedramon and one of the Birdramons flew up, quickly followed by a beam of Gelel as trees started growing from the canyon walls.
"What is this?" Sakura asked as she and the others were lifted up by some trees that grew out from just under their feet.
"What the heck is going on around her?" Shikamaru asked after the trees had stopped growing.
"It was even more powerful than the legends tell." They heard Kahiko's voice.
Up at the cliff, the two Digimon landed as the ones riding them jumped off, and shortly after Shikamaru, Sakura, Gaomon and Coronamon came up as the Birdramon were recalled and UlforceVeedramon turned back into Veemon.
"KUROTSUCHI!" Coronamon yelled as he ran over to and hugged his partner.
Dragon then put Dorumon down on the ground as Nerugui – who had been revived by the Gelel – ran over to him and started sniffing on him before he eventually woke up.
"AH! What happened? Where are we? Who was that guy?" The small dragon asked.
"What is this?" Gaara asked as he stood at the edge of the cliff before Kankuro noticed that one of the children woke up before looking around.
"Temujin…" The child said.
Ruins of Gelel
Inside the ruins that were all that were left of the temple, was Temujin awakening from the realm of unconsciousness, revealing his now green eyes.
"Where… where am I? I'm still alive?" He then looked around before spotting the black portrait "I see…These ruins…" He then sat up before noticing that Sasuke was lying next to him and a little further away were an unconscious Zolo and Birdramon.
Then the portrait suddenly cracked before shattering to reveal a totally different image.
"This is…" The portrait had two people in the middle, holding hands and around them were different kinds of animals. Behind the two was a smiling sun and behind that again was some kind of majestic bird that looked like the mythological phoenix "It wasn't a picture of despair after all."
Shortly after, Sasuke, Zolo and Birdramon had awoken and they flew towards where the others were.
"SASUKE-KUN!" Sakura yelled as she ran over to the Uchiha and hugged him like there was no tomorrow.
"Hey, cut that out, will you?" Sasuke yelled before Dragon suddenly sensed something.
"Veemon…" He said.
"Yeah, I know." Veemon said before charging at Sakura and knocking her away from Sasuke.
"Hey, what's the big deal?" Sakura asked.
"Tel me, you don't have one of the stones on you by any chance, do you?" Dragon asked.
"Huh? Yeah, I do." Sakura said before pulling out a Stone of Gelel from her weapons pouch "Why?"
"You idiot! One stone is all he'll need to…" Veemon started, but he was interrupted by a beam of light which shot up, out of the chasm, and the stone suddenly started glowing before shooting towards said beam.
The beam then vanished as a glowing sphere took its place and everyone – even non-sensory types – could suddenly sense a power greater than anything they had ever imagined.
'Wh-what is this? I-I can't move.' Zolo thought.
"Oh, no! Gaara, get as far away from here as possible!" Gaara heard a voice say within his head.
'What the…? Shukaku?' The Suna-nin thought.
Land of Lightning, Kumogakure
A woman with long blond hair was walking down the streets of Kumogakure no sato until she suddenly sensed a power unlike anything she's ever sensed before.
'Hey, what's that?' She thought as she turned in the direction of what she was sensing.
"Yugito, what it is that you're sensing is something that humans – no matter how powerful – shouldn't trifle with." She heard the Nibi's voice inside her head.
Raikage tower, roof
On the roof of the Raikage tower was Darui standing with his X-Loader in his right hand.
'That power, it's definitely him.' He thought before looking at the device in his hand 'Sorry buddy, but it looks like I'm gonna be needing you for this one.' He then held the X-Loader out in front of him as he said "Reload, Pteramon!"
In a flash of light, what looked like a mix between a pterodactyl and a fighter plane appeared before Darui jumped up on his back.
"And where do you think you're going?" Darui turned around at the familiar voice to see none other than the Yondaime Raikage, Ay.
"Sorry, Raikage-sama, but there's something I've got to do." Darui said.
"And does this "something" have to do with what we're sensing?" Ay asked.
"…" Darui didn't respond as he just looked down towards his superior.
"Well, in that case, I'm coming with you." Ay said before jumping up and landing on the pteromon's back next to Darui.
"Nani?" Darui said.
"I can't just let you run off and get killed, now can I? Besides, if we can sense it all the way here, then you wouldn't stand a chance alone." Ay said.
Storm Cloud Ravine
Coming out from a cave was a man with dark skin who then suddenly stared off in a direction as he sensed something.
"Bee, what you're sensing is something you should stay away from. Not even I could beat it." He heard the Hachibi's voice inside his head.
"Yo, what are you so scared of Hachibi, mate? After all, you're at the Digimon level of Super Ultimate." The man said. (Kurama no Kyubi: Note that what Bee meant with Hachibi being at the Digimon level of Super Ultimate is that he's as powerful as a Super Ultimate.)
"Bee, listen to me, it's something that not even we Biju would be capable of defeating!" Hachibi said.
Land of Water, Kirigakure, Mizukage tower
Inside a dark room in the Mizukage tower was one who – at first glance – appeared to be a young boy, looking out the window as he sensed a great power.
"This power that I'm sensing, what is it?" The boy asked.
"Something terrible." He heard the Sanbi's voice in his head.
"It's nothing you'll have to worry about, Mizukage-sama. After all, whatever it is, it can't stand up to a Jinchuriki who has mastered control of his Biju." Came a voice from a dark corner of the room.
"Right." The boy said.
Kiri rebel camp
Ao was standing in front of a river near the camp as many of the other rebels were standing behind him.
"Gomamon, Mega-Digivolve!" He said as he held out his X-Loader and in a flash of light, his partner came out before Mega-Digivolving.
"Gomamon Mega-Digivolve to… Plesiomon!"
Plesiomon landed in the river and Ao jumped over on his back.
"Be careful, Ao. We still need you here." A woman with long brown hair said.
"Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it." Ao said before turning to his partner "Now, go." Plesiomon then started ducking into the water as Ao went through a series of hand signs "Suiton: Kiho no Jutsu!"
Land of Earth, forest
In a forest in the Land of Earth close to Iwagakure was a small hut, and sitting outside said hut was an aging man. He then looked off in a direction as he sensed something and he heard a gasp inside of his head.
'What is it, Yonbi?' He thought.
"What you're sensing is a powerful Digimon who'd lay waste to even Super Ultimates! Ho haa haa!" The Yonbi said.
Iwa
In a street in Iwa was a man covered in red armor as everyone around him seemed to try and keep their distance from him as he walked down the center of the street until he stooped as he sensed something and turned around.
'That's coming from the direction of where Kurotsuchi went!' He thought as his eyes widened.
"Well, in that case, the kid's pretty much done for. Cause what you're sensing is something completely out of this world." He heard the Gobi's voice.
Land of Waves, village
'I finally got out of the Land of Water, and lost the ANBU's trail. But why would sensei do that?' A man thought as he walked through the busy streets before he suddenly sensed something 'What the…?'
"Stay away from there." He heard Rokubi's voice in his head.
Land of Whirlpools, Uzushio, training field 1
Naruto and Fu had resumed their training as the blond was now learning to master lightning, but then the two of them suddenly sensed something.
"Do you sense that?" Fu asked.
"Y-yeah… What is it?" Naruto asked.
"It's a power that neither one of you would be capable of surviving against." Fu heard the Nanabi's voice.
"Kid, I think it's time for you to kiss this world goodbye." Naruto heard Kyubi's voice in his head.
"Nani?" He said.
Land of Lightning, ocean
Shanks was standing at the bow of his ship as he sensed something that was way too familiar.
'That's…' He then looked in the direction of what it was that he was sensing 'So, he's returned.'
Land of Rain, Amegakure
In a tall tower in Amegakure no sato was a man sitting as he sensed something.
"Do you sense that?" A woman behind him asked.
"Yes. There's no doubt about it, that's him alright." The man said.
"What should we do?" The woman asked.
"I'll send two of our members to check it out. Hmmm… Itachi-kun and Kisame should do." The man said.
Land of Fire, cliff
The light died down to reveal a humanoid creature donned in white armor which had many black spots on it. He had four arms and in each hand was a different kind of weapon, in his upper right was a sword with a blue-green blade, in his upper left was an axe with a blue-green blade, in his lower right was a spear with a blue-green tip and in his lower left was a bow. On his helmet were four spikes jutting up, the one at the front was red, the one on the right side was brown, the one on the left side was green and the one in the back was blue. Coming out of his back were four white wings, the upper ones were feathery wings and the lower ones were scaly.
"This is bad, very bad. That's… Gelelmon." Dragon said as Gelelmon's three eyes opened behind the eye-holes of his helmet, the eyes were red with four rings centered on the pupil and nine tomoe in-between the three rings closest to said pupil with three tomoe in-between each ring.
Chapter preview
Gelelmon "Muahahahahaha! You think you can win? How hilarious!"
Zolo 'What's with this guy? None of my attacks seems to face him at all!'
Kurotsuchi "What the…? He beat both Garudamon and Meteormon… two Ultimates… with one attack. Just how strong is he?"
Ay "What kind of coward are you to pick on children?"
Ao "He's definitely weaker than last time, but that still doesn't help us much."
Darui "This is drab, even our Super Ultimates can't beat him."
Dragon "Neither our numbers nor our strength matters in this battle, because that creature – if he wanted to – could easily destroy the world."
Gaara 'I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but it seems like I have no choice. Tanuki Neiri no Jutsu!'
Luu "Next time on Naruto: Shinobi Hunters: Legend of the Stone of Gelel part Final: Gelelmon!"
Shikamaru "N-nani? He cleaved the very land… in two!"

Kurama no Kyubi: AND CUT! Sorry if I didn't do the romance scene between Naruto and Fu well, I'm not really good with romance scenes. Well, at least I'm not as bad as Toriyama-san who just has them completely skip the Boyfriend/Girlfriend stage and go straight to marriage.
