Chapter 13: The Sound Four Battle Trick
As Sakura and the Uchiha brothers were running at the Sound Four, Kabuto smirked with expectation. What did I tell you? Kabuto had assumed correctly, It was about time that she comes to us.
Sakon smirked, Do we now? He and his team waited long enough to fight, so now they want to have their chance.
Kabuto kept the sneer, Go and bring her to me. The Sound Four will do so, and they went at them.
Kidomaru grinned widely, Time for some entertainment. Also, he then started chewing the fluid in his mouth.
The Uchihas noticed Kidomaru chewing and realized that he was making his weapons in his mouth which they believed that he was creating arrows. Sasuke informed, "I'll take Kidomaru."
Sakura tensed when her husband chose his opponent and gave him a worried glance, and Sasuke looked back at her and gave her a nod with a gentle smile. She understood his expression that he meant to say Daijoubu, I'll be fine. She smiled back and gave a nod as she turned back to the Sound Four.
"Alright!" Sakura started. "I'm taking Jirobo!" Therefore, Jirobo grinned for hearing her announcement. "Nii-san, you take Tayuya! You know what her flute can do, and it has the same ability what your eyes can do!"
Itachi grinned with amazement, "Hai!" He had never doubted her strategies and found her words perfectly accurate. Thus, he knows what she was doing.
Sakon shouted, "Ha! Not this chance, I'm taking you instead!"
"Heh!" Sakura short-laughed, "I didn't forget about you. You both will have your own!" Sakon was confused when she said both as if she was referring him and his twin brother.
She grinned and placed her katanas into their cases; then her hands glowed in black-white chakra and she lifted out her hands forward. Out came her two lions, they roared and leaped up at Sakon, turning into black and white ninjas with their guandao. "They're yours now."
Sakon gritted his teeth angrily, but he agreed to fight those ninjas. He missed by jumping up when the black and white swung their weapons. They jumped after them; meanwhile his twin brothers started extending out and their Curse Mark was activation. "I'll get you after I'm done with your cats!"
In less than a minute of splitting into two bodies, Sakon and Ukon resembled oni with red skin, long white hair, and a single horn (on opposite sides for each brother's foreheads). They also grew arms and legs with unique plate-like scales across them on opposite sides of their bodies. For their Second Level of the Curse Mark, their bodies could deconstruct their body on a molecular level and enter an opponent's body. At that point they are able to alter cells and proteins of the target at will, effectively killing them, and then leaving the target to reconstruct their own body again. However, they have a disadvantage of them taking the same damage as the body they had invaded.
She gave him a smug face We'll see about that. She turned back facing the other three Sound members, so she leaped ahead and clutched a fist. "CHA!" she yelled and punched the ground between. Whereas, she made a large crater which the Sound Four missed and separated. Kabuto and the seven edo jinchurikis also jumped back to a clearer area; he predicted the damage was powerfully caused by the Creation Rebirth which was amusing to him.
From the air smoke, the three Sounds stood in place, searching for the Uchihas' chakra. Also, they activated their Curse Mark, changing their appearance:
Tayuya's hair grew longer and turned pink, and her skin became a dark shade of brown. She lastly grew several horns on the top of her head. In the second level of the Curse Mark, she gained an immense boost in strength, stamina and endurance.
Jirobo's mohawk grew into a long mane, and his skin turned brownish-red. He had developed various warts across his forehead and shoulders. With his transformation, his physical strength was increased ten-fold.
Kidomaru's skin turned dark red, and he gained horns on his forehead, shoulders and elbows. His hair grew long and turned white. He gained spinnerets enabling him to spin webs without using his chakra, from the power of the Curse Mark.
After their transformation, they still waited for their incoming attack. So fast before detecting, all three popped out of the smoke and went fighting.
(~~~~~~)
To Sakura vs. Jirobo:
Without her swords, Sakura had her seal activated and fought with her chakra enhanced in her fists and kicks; similarly, Jirobo fought with various attack of his Arhat Fist. Jirobo first was using Crumbling Palms, and Sakura clashed them with her chakra in her fists. He then used Crushing Knee to hit her at the abdomen, but she moved back to miss it and lifted her right leg up and crashed his knees down with her Heaven Kick. Using his right foot to keep standing, he went forward to hit her with Thrusting Shoulder. As usual, she could predict what attacks he was going to use. She avoided his shoulder hit and twirling around, swinging her left arm with her fist and hitting him on the side of the head.
A hit on the head had fueled his angry temper and levelled his killing habit. Therefore, Jirobo went at her with speed of the Curse Mark and slide-kicked her legs which got her off ground. "Ugh!" she dropped down. Without landing on the ground, he used Slamming Palm on her abdomen, sending up into the air. Sakura coughed some saliva out of her mouth and winced from the pain, but she had to withstand the pain and looked down at Jirobo. He didn't attack her when she crashed to the ground, so he quickly gave her his deadly Crushing Palm to crush her more. He was about to make a grin, but when he looked down and found a damaged log instead.
"Nani-" he was about to say but heard her voice above him. "Looking for me?" she called out and quickly crashed him down with her Cherry Blossom Clash! She hit him hard down the chest and moved away from him. Refusing to stand with difficult, he slowly picked himself up and glared at her as his body was repairing itself.
She smirked, feeling pleased that he couldn't land another hit on her. "You may be strong, but you don't move fast enough! You pighead!" He growled angrily, so he started fighting harder with more strength. She kept the grin on, yet she resumed fighting without letting her guard down.
Comparing with Jirobo's curse mark and Sakura's Creation Rebirth, the fought with comparable strength of Jirobo's. Every second Jirobo fought so hard to hit her, Sakura however moves quickly by avoiding and dodging all his moves. Also, he managed to hit but gets outsmarted with substitution jutsu. They went fighting the same result to them.
He grinned, and she got confused by it and jumped back to stay away. "You know how to tick me off!" he said. His anger grew higher which was causing his Curse Mark to give him more power and dark purple aura flared his body. "This time, game is over" he started throwing her Slamming Boulder, so she must move faster to block and dodge every punch.
Also, Sakura must think of a strategy to defeat the Sound Four and quickly seal them. She hoped that Sasuke and Itachi will be alright fighting them and are thinking the same as she is.
To Sasuke vs. Kidomaru:
Sasuke swung his katana at every angle to hit Kidomaru. He heard his mockery laughs and spotted his grin, so he could tell what he was doing. He observed his habit of harassing his opponents with mockery, so he must not let out frustration or irritation. Keep fighting normal, he kept in his mind and continued his action. Therefore, Kidomaru was confused why Sasuke did not give any reaction and keep fighting silently; he chewed more fluids and spit out solid golden kunais.
With sharingan, Sasuke easily detected and blocked every one of it with his sword. Kidomaru also jumped to attack Sakura and Itachi with kunais, yet Sasuke jumped in and stopped them all moving in speed. Kidomaru smirked that he found Sasuke's weak spot—his wife and brother. "You just made this much easier, brat!" Sasuke tensed. "Interesting, you really changed from what you were before."
Before Sasuke could say something, "I can play spider with them now!" Kidomaru gave a cocky grin and started spitting out webs Spider Web Flower. Sasuke quickly put his sword away and performed his fire jutsu Fire Style: Fire Hawk Jutsu! (New fire jutsu he practiced with Sakura after some time she came back to Konoha.) Fire hawks flew at the webs, burning them; Kidomaru continued making and spitting out kunais, so Sasuke threw kunai and shurikens to hit them down.
I must protect Sakura! Sasuke is very determined to protect his wife, the woman he loves very deeply, from experiencing the darkness of the Curse Mark. He doesn't want her to suffer from it, like he did before. It was terrible because it was eating his soul and clouding his mind which led him to leave Konoha and his friends. It would be a nightmare to him and Itachi, and a horrifying witness to his kids, if it will happen to Sakura. He won't let it happen, never, for the life of his family. With such devoted will, he turned his sharingan into Mangekyou Sharingan and pulled out his katana, and he went fighting.
To Itachi vs. Tayuya:
Itachi moved forward, trying to hit Tayuya, but she swiftly dodged them all by moving back. When he jumped up and dived down, swinging his sword above her, she leaped back missing it. She was about to bite her thumb to summon her Doki, but he would notice quickly from his sharingan and go at her for distraction. He was even trying to cut her flute in half, but she moved it away and pulled out a kunai.
With his immense sword skills, he planned out to end the fight in less than a minute. So, he poured his chakra into his sword, giving it extra strength. Thus, he knocked her kunai out of her hand and side-kicked her legs offense. "Ugh!" she then got kicked at the abdomen before she could land on ground. Afterwards, he waited for her next attack; he heard laughter instead. Hmm? She's laughed.
While getting up, Tayuya stopped laughing and smirked, "Screw your showoff! Time for some of my melody…for the three of you." Itachi watched with caution. She played music in her flute which she created Demon Flute: Phantom Wave. Itachi fought against it with his sharingan detecting it from all its direction, trying to cut in pieces with his katana. He has been jumping away to avoid it from biting him and eating some of his chakra. "You know to survive in your battles, but I would like to see you save your precious comrades."
He tensed from her new plan and watched the phantom, dividing. With new melody tune, all its small mouths came out and flew around. And he watched some flying around, he moved away from some close by. He carefully looked around to see one of them coming at him; then
Then, he spotted some going straight at Sakura and Sasuke. He called out, "Sakura, Sasuke! Behind you!"
.
.
Sakura and Sasuke heard him and looked behind, and they found the Phantom Waves coming. Without forgetting their opponents, they jumped up to miss their attacks and watched the waves, waiting for a closer target. As the waves were coming close, sasusaku quickly cut them all with their katanas and went beside Itachi.
"I have had enough with these cats!" they heard Sakon and looked up. They watched Sakon and his brother joined together and gave the black and white ninjas Multi-Leg Hurricane kick. While they were coming down, Sakura vanished her swords and grabbed Sasuke and Itachi's hand. Her ninjas turned back into lions and entered into Sakura's body, giving some more power to her and transmitting some into Sasuke and Itachi.
Sakon grinned, "I must say, Haruno…" Sakura glared at him, "You really have turned two former rogues soft, quite a technique you have."
"We would have known that you have a rare power hidden within and Orochimaru-sama would have chosen you as his next vessel," Kidomaru commented.
Jirobo said, "From observing our mistake, it seemed that the young Uchiha brat was the very wrong pick." He then added, "I really see him nothing but a betrayal weakling." Sasuke glared angrily at them but refused to snap from their insults about him.
"You three are just pathetic for sticking up as comrades," Tayuya insulted them. "I see you three are just being a family."
Ukon called out, "Sakon, enough chitchatting. Just hurry up and capture the girl." Tayuya mumbled under her breath Birdbrain.
Sakon groaned annoyingly but sighed, "You don't need to tell me that, Ukon." He coughed clearing his throat, "We will have you, Haruno. No, Uchiha Sakura."
The Uchihas stood in their battle stance. Tayuya smirked, "Enjoy yourselves" and lifted her flute "with music." She quickly played her melody, and the Uchihas felt their bodies turn stiff. They grunted and realized that they got caught in a genjutsu from her flute music Demon Flute: Chains of Fantasia. Suddenly, their bodies got robbed by all mobility and their consciousness progressively faded away; their arms slowly spread open. Sakura grunted while her head went leaning back; similarly, Sasuke and Itachi's hands opened, dropping their swords, and heads leaned down but faces still facing them.
Sakon smirked, "Hmph! Since you prefer this way than the other, Sakura." They grunted from their frozen pose while glaring them. "We'll just take you like this and kill your precious loved ones." Kidomaru chuckled and Tayuya smirked, both pulled a kunai. All four went toward them.
"Tsk!" Sasuke-kun! Onii-san! Sakura tensed and tried to break free, but she couldn't move her body. "Ngh!" Sakura! Even, Sasuke and Itachi tried to move. They all kept trying because they were very determined to save each other. During the struggle, they didn't remove their eyes off of the Sound Four as they were approaching.
To Ryosuke and the Uchiha twins:
During the fight, Ryosuke had been watching. And he noticed the strange stillness his family moved into and lost holding their swords. didn't move later on. Then, he saw the enemy going to his parents and uncle with their weapons holding. He was hoping for his family to move away Move! Hurry, move! but they didn't. As the enemy kept getting closer and closer, his family still stayed in their place.
The closer the enemy gets, the more danger his family will be. His heart was rising and his fear was overwhelming his mind. "Kaasan! Otosan! Oji-san!" he cried out. "Get away! Run!"
Everyone heard his scream; some couldn't look away from their own battles and some took a glance for a short time.
However, while Shina and Daisuke were fighting their grandparents and their friends intercepted in, they heard their little brother's cry and looked at their family. They quickly noticed their family was caught on a genjutsu and the enemies were approaching them with kunais to kill their father and uncle, except for their mother.
Daisuke clutched a fist and gritted his teeth, but he had no time to worry about them. Although, he would admit that he was scared for them; he never forgot what they told him to do so that he must do what they said. If he gets distracted during his battle, he would get killed. So, he must keep fighting. When he looked at his sister, her expression was different from his.
Shina cried out, "Break out of it!" Like her little brother, she was scared to death of the thought of losing her parents and uncle. While she was distracting, her grandmother Mikoto was coming behind her with a kunai to attack. Mikoto cried, telling her that she was coming behind, but Shina didn't listen and kept looking at her family.
As Mikoto was about to hit her, Daisuke blocked the attack with his kunai, pushing his sister away just on time. Shina gasped by surprise without knowing that her grandmother was behind her, and she was lucky that her brother saved her. He moved the kunai and kicked his grandmother away. "We cannot be distracted right now," Daisuke turned to his sister. "We have to do what they told us to do."
"Demo—!" Shina looked back at them, still worrying. "Believe me. They will make it!" Daisuke interrupted and gave his family a short glance.
Shina looked at her brother and back at her family. She then shut her eyes, clutching her fist. "Alright, I trust you on this!" Daisuke smiled. The twins turned on their sharingan and went fighting their grandparents.
Back to the Uchihas and Sound Four:
"You're ours now, Haruno" Sakon grinned. Sakura and the Uchiha brothers glared at them and then made a smirk, chuckling. "Huh?" the Sound Four got confused by their grin. They all took a step and BOOM! The Uchihas had planted a paper bomb underneath the dirt in an invisible way.
"A trap?" Kidomaru got surprised by the hidden explosion.
Jirobo said, "I believe they underestimated us." Tayuya growled that another ninjas broke free out of her genjutsu.
"Hmph!" they tensed when they heard the familiar sound. Sasuke.
"It seems your curse mark only makes you strong, but your sensory lacks skills." They next heard Sakura complimenting them.
"What a disappointment!" they last heard Itachi.
Tayuya quickly played her flute to cast her genjutsu on them again. As the Sound Four turned around, they waited for them to move into their frozen posture but saw no effect. She continued playing while watching and still saw no change.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk," Sakura clicked her tongue behind her teeth as she leaned on Sasuke. He held her as he and Itachi had a bored face with both arms crossed.
Tayuya got pissed, "Nandesuka?"
"Hmm?" Sakura questioned. Tayuya then saw the result of their defense: they have earplugs. After the Sound Four stepped on the paper bomb, the Uchihas immediately put on the earplugs right after they broke free from the genjutsu.
"Double tricks!" Sakon said.
He was about to say something else, but Itachi interrupted, "Huh?"
Tayuya growled fury that they underestimated her melody. Sakura began, "Your flute is obviously something. It is a shame that I cannot hear it, but we are fighting right now. Just so you know, I have always been fond of music."
"A cheap trick!" Tayuya exclaimed.
"Nani?" Sasuke asked. "Well, I can guess you are saying. You all want to say that you are powerful from the Curse Mark? However, you just only depend on power instead of knowing what else is coming."
"Urusai (Shut up)!" Tayuya shouted and summoned her three Dokis.
With her summoning jutsu, the three guys were too late to stop her. Instead, they decided to fight them. Thus, Kidomaru quickly chewed and created his destructive arrow. Before they could attack, they noticed the seven jinchurikis behind them and Kabuto was going to take his chance. Kabuto laughed and did handsigns to control them to attack the Uchihas. They chuckled with smirk.
Itachi smirked back which Sound Four dropped theirs, "Don't think that we have forgotten them." He next lifted a pointed finger up for them to look.
Huh? Sound Four wondered and looked above them. Who they found was Naruto and Killerbee. They both were going to fight the seven jinchurikis instead. Then, they watched the two jinchurikis grew out tails. Without a complaint, Kabuto sent the jinchurikis to fight them.
"Now, they will be taken care." Sasuke asked, "Where were we?"
Tayuya waited no longer and played her melody which her Dokis went to attack. At the same time, Kidomaru fired three solid arrows and Jirobo started handsigns to trap them from underneath.
Swiftly and skillfully, the Uchihas cut the arrows with their swords and jumped up from the Earth Dome Prison and avoided the Dokis. A quick sense Sakura felt from behind and turned with a kick. There she found and stopped Sakon, who was grinnig, and she instantly noticed his twin brother was not connected with him.
! Sasuke and Itachi noticed them and the realization, so they used their sharingan to find Ukon and caught a glimpse of his chakra coming behind Sakura. Before they could do stop him, Sakura prevented his attack by striking him at the stomach with red lightning in her sword.
Immediately, Sasuke did chidori to hit Sakon but missed him. Ukon was about to kick Sakura's sword off of him, but she moved away early. Afterwards, Itachi blew fireball at the twin brothers; the Uchihas landed safely from them. Although, the fire was blown by the twins' Multi-Leg Hurricane; wind is stronger than fire.
When they landed, they waited for another attack. "How interesting to see a family being a family," they heard Sakon but said nothing back. Then, Kidomaru chewed and fired more kunais out of his mouth and Tayuya played more for her Dokis to fight.
Sakura quickly vanished her sword and waved her arms in clockwise, creating wind. Wind Style: Wind Tornado Hurricane the wind caught the daggers and they went swirling around. Early, Tayuya reacted quickly, changing her tune for her Dokis to jump. However, Sakura was smarter to her expectations; she clutched two fists and gripped arms sideways. The wind tornado grew stronger and went faster, turning into a hurricane with a big tornado. Therefore, the Dokis got caught and went along with the wind, including the Sound Four. Also, it gave some help to the other comrades with their battles against the edos.
Next, she moved her right arm around which she shifted the wind roughly and the Sound Four flew everywhere. Later, she ended it by hitting her right fist under her elbow which crushed the Sound Four. The Dokis even crash-landed and poof away. Around them were all the yellow kunais but didn't matter them.
The Sound Four stood back up with grimace. The Uchihas went at them and created nine clones (three from each). The clones jumped throwing punches and kicks, but they all got detected. The Sound Four used kunais to slice them; punched their jaws and stomachs; and gave hard kicks. All the clones went away, but not one of them was real.
Sakura and Sasuke appeared into the air from hiding. First, Sasuke threw a shuriken down at them, yet they ran missing it as it hit the ground. Next, Sakura threw a kunai and it hit the shuriken. They both waited and the Sound Four stopped running.
Huh? Jirobo and Kidomaru tried to move, but their legs wouldn't take a step. Sakon felt stuck and couldn't move, "Nandesuka?"
Sakura and Sasuke smirked Chakra Threading Trap! Their new technique they have trained to master while they were dating. They both have filled their chakra in their weapons they threw early. When they were coming out of hiding, they quickly fueled their chakra into their hands and get out their weapons, so their chakra went into the weapons after one touch. As the weapons are flying in the wind, the shuriken swirls the chakra expanding its length and then it touches other chakras so they connect. The kunai lastly assists the shuriken from letting the chakra thread break away.
Afterwards, they started their lightning jutsu and went to the nail. Meanwhile, the Sound Four saw Itachi appeared in front of them, he did Water Bomb Jutsu, wetting them.When lightning touched the nail, it went along with the thread and electrocuted them. (Water can be used in conjunction with Lightning Release to increase the flow of electricity thus increasing damage taken by the target.) After the electrocution, the chakra thread broke.
The Sound Four groaned from the electricity within their chakra system, yet Jirobo managed to break free from the numbness. He grunted as he ran toward Sakura who sensed him moving and also went at him. They both had fist in their right hand, filled with chakra; Sasuke sensed dark chakra of the Curse Mark from Jirobo. He feared that a serious injury will come to his wife, so he went to prevent it. Itachi saw the other three going at her, so he must stop them. Sakura also noticed the other three came beside Jirobo, but she refused to get nervous. Suddenly, Itachi appeared in a flash between, shielding Sakura.
Nii-san! Sakura nearly tensed when her brother came in front of her. She knows that he is protecting her, but she can't let him get hurt or take any hit for her. I'm not letting you get hurt, nii-san! As they were getting close, she quickly grabbed onto Itachi's shoulders and swung her right leg around, kicking Tayuya with her foot at the jaw. It also caused her to collide with her teammates. Afterwards, Sakura and Itachi twirled around shortly, moving to a short distance from them.
Jirobo and Kidomaru growled with frustration. Sakura felt something else was coming and cried out, "Jump! Jump away!" She and Itachi let go and jumped up, so did Sasuke. Kidomaru spit out thousands of yellow kunais up as Jirobo threw big stones up after slamming fists on the ground. The Uchihas easily dodged the kunais, and they punched cracking the stones. Well, mostly Sakura took care of them with her punches. The brothers hit breaking them with their Susanoo arm fist. They went on for a few minutes.
The Uchihas landed and still sensed more of Jirobo's earth jutsu on ground. Jirobo used Earth Style: Terra Shield, but it was in a different way. He used it to shift aside the earth that had been set ablaze by the Uchihas' early defenses. So, they jumped avoiding the shifts while they threw flying weapons at them but got detected. Until, he stopped the jutsu and the Uchihas landed to wait for his next move.
?! Sakura felt something grabbed her by the ankles; it was the same way how Kakuzu kidnapped her. She looked down and found him using Earth Style: Hidden Mole Jutsu, using with earth soil. "Agh!" she tried to pull away but the clone was holding with tight grip. During the moment, the Uchiha brothers noticed her struggle. As they were about to help her, they heard Jirobo, "Got you now!"
While trying to break free, she heard more earth grumble and found more Terra Shields. "Kuso!" she used all her efforts and jumped away in time as she quickly grabbed the brothers, missing the earth shifts. However, the soil was tied onto her ankles. When they got to a safe distance, Jirobo still sent more earth shifts. So, they dodged more as the Uchiha brothers threw shurikens at Jirobo to stop his earth jutsu and Sakura cut earth soils with Chakra Scalpel wherever they come at her.
"Ah!" By sudden surprise, Sakura got caught on the wrists by spider web thread and was dragged to the ground. Afterwards, her feet got buried into the earth and the threads were pulling her arms tightly. The Uchiha brothers saw her slight capture and went to help her. They both held her arms and tried to pull the threads off of her, but they were strong with chakra. Kidomaru chuckled from watching their helplessness, "You know it won't do any good."
Sakura grunted while trying to break free and glared at them. "Now you are coming with us, Haruno!" Jirobo lifted out an open hand and started closing it, like trying to fully close it, for making the earth to move to give her to them. She gritted her teeth painfully and poured her chakra into her feet to prevent from moving to them; in addition, the spider threads tightened more, hurting her, while pulling her. With support, Sasuke and Itachi kept holding her and still trying hard to cut the threads.
Then, she closed her eyes from wincing. Nani? She jerked from remembering of her old studies, so she focused on both Kidomaru and Jirobo's chakra. From her sensory inspections, she found the lead of the chakra threads for Jirobo—all coming from his feet; for Kidomaru, it was pretty simple from his spider threads with his chakra.
She looked down and smirked with an idea. "Sasuke-kun, get in front of me and hold me!" She told him and to her brother, "Nii-san, get behind me and hold my hands!" They both were confused but did what she told them to do. Sasuke hugged her as Itachi held her hands. "Lightning to follow the chakra trail of earth, and fire to follow and burn the spider threads," Sakura instructed her plan.
! Sasuke and Itachi fully understood her plan and smirked with agreement. "Hai!" they held onto her while focusing their chakra. The Sound Four were wondering why the Uchihas gather up together like huggy buddies. Later, the Uchihas grinned and were ready to start.
To Ryosuke:
During the whole time, Ryosuke was watching the fight. He was amazed how his parents and uncle were fighting with such high-leveled skills, and he hasn't missed watching them performing fire and lightning jutsu. He remembered while he was growing up—he followed his father and uncle when they took his twin siblings to train and watched them how they instruct them; sometimes he watched his father and uncle sparring with swords and many ninjutsu. Furthermore, his most inspiration was when he saw his mother fought them both with her strength and swords. His parents and uncle has been his eye of inspiration to be a ninja.
Suddenly, he stopped dazing and saw his mother got caught by Jirobo and later by Kidomaru. He got worried that they will take his mother with them, but he noticed how hard his mother was resisting. He then watched his father and uncle trying to help her. He was hoping that they would hurry and escape. However, he later watched them huddle up and wondered if they have a plan for his mother to get free.
To the Uchihas vs. Sound Four:
Sasuke-kun! Onii-san! Sakura finished filling lightning in her body and fire in her hands. You ready to do what we have trained for so long?
Sasuke smiled up at his lovely wife Hai! It is time for us to do it. He also finished filling his body with chidori. His chidori was connected with hers, making the chakra stronger.
Imoto… Itachi gripped her hand tightly. We are in this together, just exactly how we have always been. Fire grew bigger, along with his and hers.
Sakura never felt any happier than before. She felt the chakra combination was ready. Arigatou, I love you both and our kids with all my life!
Lighning went along with the earth chakra thread as fire went burning with the spider threads. So fast, the Sound Four got shocked from the lightning beneath; also Kidomaru got burned on the hands. Fire combined with lightning which gave the Sound Four an excruciating burning electrocution. Moreover, the electrocution made an earth shake which surprised to comrades. It was a mild interruption to some edos and for the comrade to attack and seal them.
Sakura got free and swung her left arm, hitting the Sound Four with wind. She immediately placed her left hand on the ground and her right hand with two fingers up, which she made earth swirled up and around the Sound Four. Next, Itachi blew a fire crow, flying inside the earth. Then, Sakura blew wind to escalate the flame as she finished closing the earth prison. Last, Sasuke performed Kirin and lightning bolt hit the dome, entering inside. It exploded brightly.
(~~~~~~)
During the battle of comrades:
Some craters flew and hit some edos, and strong wind blew. The chuunins took cover as their edo opponents were hit away. The four Hokages got knocked down by big craters, even Kushina.
Hayate was blown forward to Clone Sakura who cut him in half and quickly pasted the sealing tag on his chest. In comparison, Suigetsu did defeat his older brother and felt sad that it had to end that way. Another at the left side, Clone Sakura punched Jinin down, shredding him, and put the sealing tag on him.
Ironically, Shizune managed to defeat her uncle by deflecting his attack and kicked him to the sealing team. Kushimaru and Jinpachi held in place, which Ensui Nara took the opportunity to do Shadow Paralysis Jutsu to prevent them from escaping, and a male sealer went and sealed them.
Another, when Chukichi attempted to kill Kankurō while hiding in his Hidden Frost Jutsu. He first blew a frosting wind which caused the air temperature to drop below the freezing point, effectively freezing any ambient water vapour in the vicinity. The frost allowed him to become transparent within. The samurais took caution and sensed to search him. Unable to find him, he approached behind a samurai and was about to kill him behind, but he got foiled by wind ninja. Then, the wind ninja quickly placed the sealing tag on him.
Kakashi-sensei went to Zabuza with Lightning Blade to incapacitate him, but Haku got in the way. It reflected how he had blocked Kakashi in their first encounter. Haku then kept Kakashi-sensei still which gave Zabuza the chance to attack, bisecting Haku in the process and even slightly injuring Kakashi-sensei. Zabuza charged towards him but as they clashed, Kakashi severed Zabuza's sword-holding arm and impaled him through his chest. Finally, Ensui Nara was then able to immobilise Zabuza, giving Maki the opportunity to bind and seal him and Haku after his defeat. Also, the mist started disappearing. Clone Sakura went to Kakashi-sensei to heal his wound.
Santa Yamanaka did Mind Transfer Jutsu and sent his spiritual energy into Fuguki, controlling his mind. So, he moved running toward the Sealing Team, who took caution, but exclaimed them, "It's me, Santa Yamanaka! Mind control jutsu! Hurry the sealing before he breaks free!" The Sealing Corp waste no time and did the sealing. During the sealing process, Santa returned his spiritual energy back.
To Hiashi vs. Hiashi:
"Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation!" Hizashi rotated deflecting all the flying weapons thrown at him. Afterwards, he stopped and stood facing his twin brother once more.
"Nii-san…" Hizashi called, but Hiashi said nothing. "Sumimasen, as a member of the branch family, who should be protecting the main family, I am here now standing as your enemy." His eyes held sadness, "This must be my punishment for resenting the main family long ago. My body will not do what I tell it to."
Hiashi still said nothing, like he has nothing to say yet. Hizashi continued, "As it is, my decision to choose death for the sake of the village has been negated…"
Hiashi suddenly held sadness in his eyes. He remembered the day he died his words, So please don't tell Neji. I was not killed to protect the head family. To protect Neji, my siblings, family and the land, by my own will, I chose death!
"This is the fate in store for me, a member of the branch family,"Hizashi believed that the reanimation gave his death a fate.
Hiashi lifted up a palm, "There is no such fate! Neji has fought to demonstrate it! So have your grandchildren!"
Hizashi was surprised, Neji… he looked at his son and My grandchildren… then to his grandchildren.
"It's not about the branch family protecting the bloodline of the main family." Hiashi intercepted, "We protect each other as comrades!" He shared the Hyuga clan had changed to protect other comrades, along with their bloodlines. All changed by Naruto.
"That time has actually come to pass?" Hizashi closed his eyes, "Nii-san…this is all the more reason, by your hand I wish to…"
Then, they clashed palmed at the same length of time, making strong windy rotation around them. They fought palms against palms for some time. Neji was watching them and waiting for the signal his uncle will give out. During the whole time, he felt bitter about his father being reanimated by Kabuto; right now, the reanimation just must be done and seal all the reanimations. Even though, it hurts so much.
To Pakura:
There have been struggles while battling Pakura. Every time, Pakura flares out her scorching fire balls aiming at any shinobi so that the fire ninja would hit every fire scorch with its kama blades. Another, she would try to touch a ninja with her Scorch Style: Super Steam Kill to a burning mummification; the fire ninja would block and absorbed the burning scorch as a fuel to its body.
Mostly, a Sunagakure kunoichi, Maki, was a student of Pakura; she has tried to approach discreetly on Pakura while a comrade was fighting her. Every move she takes, her teacher manages to slip away. Moreover, Pakura told Maki what happened the day she died was an act of treachery; the Sunagakure leaders chose her as a sacrifice to the Hidden Mist for the benefit of the village. Her death story became quite of a shock. A Kirigakure kunoichi pleaded her that the Fifth Mizukage ushered a new age of peace with the Mist, but Pakura believed the present will never change the mistake of the past.
Pakura was fueled with frustration and anger on the Kirigakure and Sunagakure for the blame of her death. Then, she flow her fire orbs around and ready to blow a fire explosion. The ninjas stepped back in fear, and Maki tried pleading, "Sensei, onegai!" But, it was no good. Therefore, she made a giant scorch ball by combining her flaming orbs and then violently exploded with enough force and power to incinerate a large area around it.
Later, Pakura expected to see the area all burned but found it normal. Everyone who took cover was surprisingly relieved that they were alive still. They looked and found the fire and wind ninjas who save them by blocking the explosion with its fire shield and wind for defensive strength. Sakura-sama, Arigatogozaimasu Sakura's fire and wind power prevented death and has strong will to protect comrades.
Then, the wind ninja moved its arms, swirling the scorch fire around Pakura and burning her. She groaned from feeling the scorch burning in her body for the first time, and she wondered if that was the feeling of her scorch fire her previous victims felt when they were dying with it.
Last, Maki appeared behind her teacher and send the Binding Cloth around her, ready to seal. "Gomen, sensei, for what happened to you." She never wanted the Sand and Mist to bargain a life of a loyal ninja as a sacrifice or a tool. She wished the past was never like that.
Maki… Pakura remembered her student when she was young with her sincere smile, so she let her to seal her. "Do it, Maki! Hurry while I am still conscious!"
With her encouragement, Maki hurried and finished the sealing. While the cloth bindings were flying around, Pakura stared and smiled at her as if she was saying to her student 'thank you'. Later, Maki looked at the wrapping for some time, feeling happy that her teacher never forgot to live and die as a hero.
To Toroi:
With Toroi, it ended about a minute since he was a 'slow' ninja. He first dropped his distinctive square-shaped shurikens. A ninja warned his comrades who he was—a Cloud ninja with a Kekkei Genkai! Magnet Style Toroi! When he attacks, they must always…dodge them!
Toroi swung his shuriken ropes which made the shurikens fly toward them. Most of them avoided them, but one ninja blocked one shuriken with a kunai. It was bad news. Therefore, Magnet Style magnetizes any object that he touches. And subsequently, anything those things touch becomes magnetized…although the effect is not as strong. Since the ninja who blocked the shuriken, his body was becoming infused with magnetic power. Lastly his body and shuriken will be drawn to each other.
Then, Toroi opened his scroll with his mouth and pulled four more squared shurikens. For his final attack, a magnetized ninja won't be able to dodge it. Later, he expanded his shurikens' size into square-shaped fuma shurikens. And he was ready to throw them. The magnetized male was becoming frightened that he was going to die. However, the wind ninja appeared above Toroi and knocked him down. Lastly, it pulled him up and threw him to the sealers who wrapped the cloth binding around him.
After sealing Toroi, the Magnet Style worn off of the magnetized ninja who breathed out with relief that he was saved in time.
To Shino vs. Torune:
"Shino, is that you?" Torune asked him.
Shino replied, "It is me, Torune."
"You have greatly changed," Torune noticed his different appearance from back then. He recalled him wearing a grey shirt with matching pants under his light-grey buttoned jacket. And a flak jacket and new set of sunglasses. (What he wore a year after Sakura returned to Konoha.)
"Enough of that," Torune suggested. "Do you know what happened to Fu?" Fu Yamanaka was his partner and friend. After he was summoned, Fu was not around.
"No," Shino answered, "You both were listed as MIA for eight years."
That shocked Torune was shocked to hear that he has been gone for eight years. "Soka, then Fu has also been reanimated."
"He's not around," Shino told him.
"Shino, you don't have a comrade with you." Torune has noticed it is just him he was facing. "How would you intend to stop me?"
Shino walked closer to Torune. "I know you're trying to buy time because bugs require more time to multiply." Then, he ran with a kunai in hand.
"You intend to die together with me, but that's futile!" Torune jumped away from Shino. "Don't attempt close combat with me!"
"If I can't use my beetles, this is the only way." Shino believed fighting him was the only way than using bugs.
"Then have someone who is silled in long-distance combat." Torune added. "As well a sealer." He ran at him.
"I don't know anyone who fits that description," Shino said. Then, Torune kicked him at the stomach which Shino took it submissively.
"Shino!" As Shino was flying back, Clone Naruto came behind and caught him into his arms. He put him down as they landed.
"Naruto…" Shino looked at him. "You're a clone?"
"Hai," Clone Naruto said. "Is that Aburame Torune who had been missing with Fu Yamanaka?"
"That's him," Shino confirmed. "He and Fu have been dead all this time."
"Then, do I pulverize him?" Clone Naruto asked.
"If you do that, the Venomous Beetles will scatter on you." Shino warned. "Don't touch!"
Torune told Shino, "Shino, don't let him attack recklessly." He doesn't want Shino to lose a strong comrade to take him down. "Not only by touch," he clapped his hands and did the same jutsu he did earlier, Poison Cloud Jutsu.
After he blew, he cried out, "Get away and don't inhale!" Shino blocked the poison cloud with his bugs , until it stopped. However, the poison cloud affected bugs with it and dropped dead.
Shino notified, "That's what happens if you him or inhale it. Naruto, do you have a sealing tag?"
"No, I don't," Clone Naruto answered. "Sakura-chan does."
"I've been given Sealing Tags, but I have no way to apply them." Shino noted.
Torune jumped close, "Get rid of those tags, Shino. I'll be forced to destroy anyone who gets in my way. My body will attack on its own." He warned Shino be careful of losing those tags before he will destroy.
"Daijoubu," Clone Naruto said. "I won't let you lay a finger on him. I'll stop your attacks!" Shino tried to stop him, but Clone Naruto already understood and went to Torune.
"Watch out," Torune was starting, "The Assassination Jutsu of the Foundation…"
"Like I would let it!" Clone Naruto said. Torune got his sword and slashed at him, but Clone Naruto stopped a step, missing it. Next, he sent a flare hand, grabbing the sword, and broke the blade in half. He then jumped to kick his head, but Torune dodged it. Torune went to punch him, but Clone Naruto moved away from it. Torune did a swing kick, yet Clone Naruto bent down. He started making rasengan with two firey hands and clashed with Torune's fist. It exploded and also broke Torune's arm, but it regenerated back.
Torune went at Clone Naruto again to punch him. "Get away!" Clone Naruto just stood there.
"Naruto!" Shino went in front and got hit instead on the cheek. "Shino!" Clone Naruto cried as he dropped.
"Kuso!" Torune exclaimed that Shino intervened and took the hit instead. "Rokudaime, take me down! Seal me! Otherwise, I'll continue to…!"
"Oi, daijoubu?" Clone Naruto kneeled beside Shino.
Shino started getting up. "Get back, Naruto." He stood on his feet without any difficulty. Clone Nauto was confused about him. He just witnessed Shino got punched by Torune's poisoned fist and was supposed to be infected; however, Shino seemed normal and uninfected.
"From here on, as Insect Users, let's settle this between us." Shino decided to fight him for real.
"Shino, how in the word…?" Torune also was confused. "I know you touch my Venomous Beetles."
"Your Venomous Beetles touched my beetles," Shino informed. There were beetles on his cheek where he was hit; therefore, his bugs protected him. "You were like an older brother to me."
"I wanted a keepsake from you," Shino started sharing a childhood story "so I nurtured and bred those Venomous Beetles. I raised them by feeding them to my beetles." When he was an Academy student, he took sample of Torune's bugs to breed them with his own. "Several years later, after many generations of offspring, beetles with antibodies against the Venomous Beetles were born." A new offspring was born. "They are those beetles." Shino finishes, "With the antibody, they won't die even if they come in contrast with your Venomous Beetles." Bugs came out and swarmed around, and they went to Torune.
"You may be an Insect User, but no one can host such a unique insect…especially not in this quantity," Torune was impressed with Shino's experiment and was pleased that he found a way to stop him.
"Yes, I carried about ten with me." Shino pulled out a small vial. "Then I made them multiply." He made more bugs, and it took time for them to multiply after Kabuto attacked the center of the village and during previous battles.
"Shino, you're…" Torune remembered before they fought—Shino was waiting for his bugs to multiply before he could use them. "You never skip a detail, but not like before. I'm not alone anymore."
"Gomen, I must seal you." Shino pulled out a sealing tag and threw it at Torune.
"You don't need to apologize," Torune waited for someone to seal him, so there he will have it. When the tag was placed on his face, sealing marks appeared writing down from face to feet. His body dropped on his knees.
Clone Naruto went to Shino, "It's over?"
Shino replied, "For now, but we must go help the others." Clone Naruto agreed. "I'll be going in a second, go ahead."
Clone Naruto left, and Shino went to Torune and kneeled in front. "Torune, I'm grateful to you. I'm glad I didn't join the Foundation." He placed his hands together in praying posture. Without forgetting about his comrades, he stood and went to help them. He stopped and lastly said, "Because I was able to make friends." He left and went to join them.
To Sai vs. Shin:
Sai did not have a real fight with his brother. Although, they have fought swords for some time and then separated apart. He suggested that he and his brother should finish where they left off when their Root leader, Danzo, told them both to fight against each other to death. The very thing they couldn't settle back then. However, Shin believed that it won't happen.
Then, Shin (Sai's son) got knocked away by Hanzo and landed beside his father which surprised them. Shin tensed from where was now and stood close by his father, yet Sai pushed him behind his back.
Shin (Sai's brother) stared at his nephew for a long moment. Shin… his nephew looked almost like his father. He wishes he would have an uncle-nephew relationship with his nephew, but he knew it would never happen. Even though, he felt happy to see him and blessed him with his name.
Then he turned white and started fading, which they both flinched surprise. "Nii-san!" Sai exclaimed. Sai wanted to go to him but stopped when he saw him happily smiling. It was obvious that Shin was looking at Shin, his nephew.
Shin started, "My nephew, your father gave you my name. I was happily surprised to see you and hear your name for the first time. It seems that your presence freed my soul. Be sure to cherish it and those who call you by the name Shin."
Sai and Shin sadly watched him turn into ashes, "Sayonara..." After he dissolved and looked at his ashes, they clutched fist tightly. Shin returned back to help his friends and Sai went to assist other comrades.
To Omoi vs. Ameyuri Ringo:
Omoi had some struggle with Ameyuri by her strong level of lightning against his. However, in the end, he was able to trap her feet in a marsh. Thus, they started to sink. She was shock by the marsh but confused that there never was a marsh around. "Earth Style: Rampart of Flowing Soil!" she heard and turned to find an Iwagakure shinobi behind who performed earth jutsu and created the marsh.
Then, a water ninja appeared and pulled Omoi safely out of the marsh, and the Iwagakure shinobi threw a sealing tag at her back. Ameyuri gritted teeth but groaned in defeat, "I must say that I thought you were a gentleman to sink with me, but I have to admit that I better remember to eat what I like to eat first." The marsh soil lifted up, gather around her, while sinking.
Omoi replied, "Gomen, I am not interested. And you will not be reanimated anymore." He pulled out a white lollipop (his favorite candy) and threw it at her. "Here, a farewell gift."
Ameyuri accepted his gift, "Arigatou." She has taken a liking to Omoi. Then, Omoi introduced his name. "Here, Omoi," she threw her swords, "Just a gift to say thank you." She gave them to him as a parting gift, "See ya on the other side." She finished before she submerged into the marsh and sealed away.
Omoi watched her submerged sealing and looked at her swords for a short moment. Then, he went back to assist his other comrades, along with the water ninja and Iwagakure shinobi.
To A vs. A:
A (the former Fourth Raikage) fought against his father with fist punches and similar taijutsu technique.
Raikage started, "A! Line up your Earth Style ninjas and use them as a shield, and attack with your Wind Style ninjas!"
A Kirigakure ninja said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness! In fact, I'd like to learn more!"
"I have no control over body! I can't waste any more time talking!" Raikage told back.
A instructed, "Wind and Earth Style shinobi, stay behind while I fight him first!" He first wanted to challenge his father with lightning style before he died; until now he is having this chance. "Sealing Unit, stay clear!"
"Hai!" Comrades obeyed and moved back to leave space for the two former Raikages to fight.
A took a brief minute, having a staring moment with his father. he wanted to confront with his father about when his choice for picking Bee as jinchuriki. Sometime after Bee became the 8-Tailed jinchūriki, he remembered what his cousin had said to him before his death. So, he tried his best to fill that apparent void.
.
.
"Who are you aiming at?" A asked as he appeared from a fast lightning bolt.
A Sunagakure ninja said, "You're just too fast for our attacks!"
"I'll say it again. I am a Lightning Style User," Raikage explained again. "When I arm myself with Lightning Style, my speed and defensive power exceed the normal limits of my body. Unless you attack with Wind Style, you will never be able to take me down."
"The trouble is, we can't land a blow with that!" A ninja said.
A called out, "Wind Style Unit! Attack Formation C!" Three Wind Style ninjas came with Giant Folding Fans.
"A!" Raikage called out, "Instead of doing it quietly, you announce how to attack." A didn't say anything back.
"Group Wind Style Jutsu!" the Wind Style ninjas started—one swing right; second down; and third left. "Wind Style: Casting Net!" They created multiple narrow windy currents that formed a large net of sorts.
Raikage was impressed with the jutsu, "Splendid!" He got hit submissively.
A shouted command, "Now surround him!" So, the three Wind Style ninjas immediately went; however, something else happened. Raikage survived the direct impact of another wind-natured attack with negligible damage. Therefore, the three ninjas were hit back and wounded.
Kuso! A figured that his father survived with Lightning Release Chakra Mode that stopped the Wind Style ninjas. He noticed the cuts on his father's arm, legs, and shoulder, yet he watched them healing. As a result, the wind was extremely sharp and powerful enough to inflict shallow wounds on him.
"Yondaime Raikage-sama!" Another Sunagakure ninja called him, "No matter how many times we attack, there is no effect! We haven't inflicted any damage!"
A understood the problem, so she started to think of another plan. Then, Dodai came beside him.
Raikage asked, "Is that you, Dodai?"
"Hai!" Dodai started, "Sandaima Raikage-sama, you were a shinobi blessed not only with strength and speed, but also with extraordinary physical resilience. Even long-distance Wind Style attacks, which should reach you, do not affect you. We need an even more powerful Wind Style User."
A Leaf ninja noted, "Sakura- and Naruto-sama are pretty good with Wind Style, but they are busy. Even their clones and Sakura-sama's wind ninja. Demo, how did he die?"
Dodai answered, "In order to save his comrades, he used himself as a decoy and face 10,000 enemy troops alone. It was said he stood for three days and three nights in order to buy enough time to let his comrades escape."
A silently listened every word Dodai said about his father. A also remembered about what he did after he become Raikage with Bee. When Bee became the 8-Tailed jinchūriki and his father died, he became determined to keep his village and Bee safe, confining his brother's movements to the village even if it went against B's personal wishes. Anther, out of his fear of losing Bee, he forbade Bee to continue training the Lightning Release: Lariat. So, he ordered him to complete his training in the Tailed Beast Ball at the Valley of Clouds and Lightning and restricted him to the confines of the village. At some point, he forbade Bee from fully transforming into his tailed beast due to its extreme power.
To Kabuto, he lifted up two fingers, "I need this one to buy me some time while I finish summoning him. Guess I'll just have to take over."
The Raikage completely lost all of his consciousness, so Kabuto will control him on killing any ninja with the Raikage's lethal lightning jutsu. Also, A caught the change on his father's eyes and realized that it was bad news.
Dodai thought, "Among the Allied Forces, there isn't a stronger Wind Style User here."
"Who says there isn't?" Clone Naruto appeared by flying while making Rasenshuriken.
Naruto… Dodai was surprised to receive an unexpected assistance came to them. Then, the rasenshuriken brightened its light with the sunlight so that everyone needed to make some cover for their eyesight. That feels like Wind Style! Is that a new Rasengan? He sensed its chakra stronger than before. With this jutsu, it just might work if it hits!
Clone Naruto threw the rasenshuriken, but it was held on with a flaring hand. However, the Raikage dodged it easily and a little strays of his hair got cut. Dodai said, "No, that's not enough! Not with his Cloak of Lightning…"
"Dodai," A interrupted him. "He knows…he knows that Raikages are always super fast." Therefore before Naruto became hokage, A had a challenge with him to test his skills against fast Lightning Style. Of course, Naruto did struggle but train so hard to succeed.
Moreover, Clone Naruto moved behind and swung it going the back of the Raikage. Dodai was impressed, That's what he was aiming for! He clearly understood that Clone Naruto is holding the rasenshuriken so that he would throw it in another direction, in case he misses. So, everyone waited while watching to see the next attack. Another miss, the Raikage jumped up and the two ends of his rope belt got cut off. It's no use! He dodged it again! Dodai clutched a fist. We have to distract him, or it won't hit him! Clone Naruto moved again to the other side (behind the Raikage) and went, and hit him.
The Raikage was thrown a mile far and the rasenshuriken detonated, producing a vortex of wind. Everyone, except A, took cover from the wind; Dodai felt the Wind Style so strong and believed it worked. "Now, Sealing Corp! Hurry and seal him!"
"Hai!" Two sealers went and threw the cloth bindings at the down raikage. All right! Dodai grinned for the sealing, and A waited to see the whole sealing completion.
The Raikage woke up and ripped the cloths off that stunned everyone, and he moved more back a bit. His skin cuts closed again.
Clone Naruto couldn't believe it. The rasenshuriken didn't work?! For another plan, he moved to stand between A and Dodai. "Any other ideas?"
A said, "You haven't notice the change in his eyes?" Huh? Clone Naruto looked carefully at the Raikage and saw the white eyes. He just found the reason of the Raikage's resistances.
"I have, just now." Dodai said, "He's been completely taken over."
The Raikage lifted his hand with four fingers which A and Dodai recognized it. It was his Lightning Style justu, Hell Stab, he performed earlier. It is completely dangerous and brutal to get hit from it.
A called out, "Earth Style shinobi, form a wall immediately!" Several Earth Style Iwagakure ninjas came up more forward, and A grabbed Clone Naruto and Dodai moving backwards with the allies. "Everyone, link up!"
"Hai!" the Iwagakure did Earth Style: Great Mud Wall, expel ling a stream of mud from their mouths, which solidified into multiple columns of earth, which rowed upwards from the ground and together into a hard, defensive wall. The Raikage went towards it; meanwhile, a Sunagakure ninja told the allies to disperse.
The Raikage hit the wall and went breaking through the wall, so Dodai quickly did Lava Style: Rubber Wall, sticking rubber along with the thick wall. The Raikage created tremor while breaking through.
"Nande—?" Clone Naruto wanted to know what was happening now. A told him, "This is my father's most lethal jutsu, the Piercing Four-Fingered Hell Stab! He accumulates Lightning Chakra in his fingertip and strikes, so this thrust technique complements the Lightning Style." Clone Naruto believed that that lightning jutsu is the same chakra level as Sakura's Maxima Chakra Scalpel.
Then, the Raikage reached to the rubber wall and continued pushing to break through it. Dodai cried out, "Mina, get as far away as possible, now!"
"No!" A Leaf shinobi refused, "If we know where he'll appear, we should aim for that spot all together! Mina, stand by!" Other ninjas agreed to follow and were ready to attack the Raikage. "It's payback time for all the times we missed!"
A angrily shouted, "Oi! You don't know what you're going for!" However, the Leaf ninja ignored him because he still wants to fight. A gritted his teeth for being disobeyed for the first time, but he decided to let them do what they wish. So, he would see how they will do.
A moved away, and Dodai dragged Clone Naruto back. The ninjas went to attack right after the Raikage broke out of the rubber wall. In an instant, the ninjas unfortunately got defeated when the Raikage blew the area with shockwaves, shocking them. They were thrown back; later, several green snakes popped out and grabbed to drag the wounded ninjas away from the Raikage.
A watched them get hurt and considered them as fools, but he spotted something different from his father's hand. His hand had three fingers pointed out instead of four. "He switched to the Three-Fingered Assault." Dodai nodded for seeing it, too.
"What kind of jutsu is that?" Clone Naruto wondered about the techniques of the Lightning Style jutsu. "It's too powerful! He took dozens down in an instant by himself!"
"The fewer the fingers he uses, the more focused the energy and the more powerful the Hell Stab! That's the Third's Invincible Spear!" Dodai explained, "He can handle it with his impermeable body. It's his ultimate shield!"
Clone Naruto wondered, "Is this old man even human?"
A respond, "They said that he is the only shinobi to have ever been able to go ahead to head with the Tailed Beast, unarmored and unarmed."
Naruto was really amazed with the Raikage and considered him amazing. During his observation, he caught something on the Raikage. Dodai noticed his pause, "Doshita?"
"What's with that?" Clone Naruto asked. Dodai and A wanted to know what he was referring about the Raikage. "Look at that! That scar on his chest!" The two men looked and saw it. "If his body's the ultimate shield, how'd he get that? He didn't even flinch against my rasenshuriken."
Dodai and A both remembered when the Raikage got that scar. So, Dodai talked, "When the Raikage helped everyone get away from the Eight Tails by stopping its rampage all by himself."
Clone Naruto asked, "Did the Eight Tails hurt him?"
A said next, "He called it as his most shameful incident of his life. He never uttered a word about it to anyone, not even to me either." Later, he started to puzzle some dots about his father and the scar.
Meanwhile, the comrades circled around the Raikage; a few moved a little closer. Unnoticeably, the Raikage pushed the close ninjas with the three-fingered assault without using lightning style. The earth ninja sent more snakes to grab the hit ninjas, taking to safety. In another minute later, more comrades got knocked by the same attack and were then taken to safety.
A stiffened for seeing the sight of comrades wounded and outnumbered, and he clutched a big fist. If that scar is the very thing he is protecting, then it must be the only way to stop him. He recalled the times when he and other comrades hit the Raikage, and his scar was the only part that didn't get hit. So, the scar is the weak point to defeat the Raikage. And I think I just know how to give a direct hit.
Clone Naruto said, "I need to get a hold of Octopops and the Eight Tails right away!"
Dodai said, "Through the Com Corps and have Intel Unit Captain Yamanaka Inochi connect you with Bee."
Clone Naruto knew one of his friends is part of the Com Corps. "Ino is the only telepathic ninja here, but she is busy right now."
"I'm your only luck," Dodai added. "I'm part of the Com Corps for many years." Clone Naruto grinned that he always has good luck with him.
"Do that!" A told them. They looked at him with confusion and saw him had his Cloak of Lightning. "I have a strategy in mind I want to try. As I can see, there is not much time. Our comrades are decreasing, and he is heading this way in any minute."
Clone Naruto was about to talk, but A quickly said, "Dodai, take Naruto away with you as far as you can." Dodai automatically nodded and took Clone Naruto with him. A watched his father coming towards him.
After Dodai reached to the allied unit, he exclaimed, "Mina! Do not assist! Sealing Corps, standby!" The sealing unit obeyed and waited for order. He turned to Clone Naruto and connected him to the Com Corps, and later to Bee and Hachibi. They have a conversation without wasting time.
A filled his right fist with lightning, so did his father with his Three-Fingered Assault. As they got close, the Raikage switched his three fingers to one finger.
Kabuto grinned. His Invincible Spear will cut through the Fourth Raikage's arms and legs. That will have him half-dead. It was the Third Raikage's One-Fingered Assault, which is the strongest spear, where the concentration of chakra is so great that it extends well beyond the finger in a lone point.
The Raikage was about to hit A, but A encountered at the last minute as the spear was an inch away from his face. So, he dropped down and punched his father's arm moving it up to his right side where he impaled himself at his scar. That surprised everyone, except for Clone Naruto in telepathic transit.
The Raikage's body began to crumble, and A smirked that his plan worked. Dodai was still in shock and believed that the scar was caused by that way. So, the Sealing Corp took immediate action and completed the sealing. Everyone cheered that the sealing task has finally been completed.
Clone Naruto woke from the transit and went to A. A turned to hear what Clone Naruto and the Eight Tails had talked about. "That was quite a sharp move!" Clone Naruto gave him a thumbs-up and told him, "Hachibi said that he only remembered the fight he had with the Third Raikage using his one-fingered jutsu, but nothing about the scar."
"Sodeska," A turned to look at the sealing coffin. "I guess he must have stabbed himself with his own move." Clone Naruto nodded for thinking the same. "No wonder he never talked about it."
"A shinobi with an invincible spear and impermeable shield, it certainly does put a paradox." Dodai then came, "I guess this shows the Sandaime Raikage-sama's spear more powerful." A and Clone Naruto agreed.
A said, "Now let's move! There is a war going on here!" Clone Naruto and Dodai followed, so did their allies.
To Clone Killerbee vs. Blue B:
Clone Killerbee and Blue B both were fighting in pseudo-jinchuriki form with similar chakra level and strength. Like A, Killerbee also had conversation with Blue B; they had known each other because Blue B was Killerbee's mentor.
Blue B sensed Killerbee's chakra and assumed that he became jinchuriki after him. Although he recalled the conversation with his cousin, he told to his cousin that his uncle chose Bee to be the next jinchuriki. A had no knowledge and disagreed the fate to Bee. Blue B believed there was no other way and Bee will eventually understand the life he went through after he was chosen.
Blue B told Clone Bee to run, but Clone Bee believed that the Eight-Tails was not in him anymore. He was wrong. Blue B told him again to run, and in seconds he transformed. It was impossible, how he has the Eight-Tails' chakra. No mistake, it was really Tailed Beast's chakra.
Kabuto smirked, Orochimaru-sama's laboratory was full of interesting things. When he joined him, Orochimaru showed him the Eight-Tails' horn inside a water container. He was obtaining the cells of the beast, and it took years to cultivate them.
Blue B said the third time to run as he prepared a chakra ball and fired. The comrades watched in fear the chakra ball coming at them and then it exploded. Blue B hoped for survivors and found them still alive, so the earth ninja saved them by. So, Clone Killerbee transformed, and they formed Lariat and collided. They gripped hands like wrestling.
Why you have my chakra? Hachibi (the 8-Tails' name) asked Blue B internally. When you died, I was extracted from you.
Blue B explained, "We were completely fooled thirty years ago. A fake Kumogakure ninja, the missing rogue Orochimaru, who disguised himself as a woman killed my doctor and prescribed me with a drug instead of my usual medication. I took medication for my insomnia, and my heart was aching with a hole in it. I have longed for something to fill the hole with anything. If I could have found something, it would have given me the strength to live in a normal life. That one night, I was asleep in bed, he sneaked into my room. I tried to break free, but I couldn't move my body. He told me that the medicine I took was his special genjutsu pill, which completely paralyzed my body, and he knew my suffering from living as a jinchuriki."
Blue B finished, "He said that I will liberate me the pain and suffering of being a jinchuriki…and guide me back from the land of the dead. He did the Five Element Unseal on my chest and unleashed you out of me which also cost my life." That was what caused the rampage of the
No wonder I couldn't remember anything. I was also trapped in Orochimaru's genjutsu. Orochimaru's pills did not only affect Blue B, also did to Hachibi.
"Bee! Run!" Blue B felt his body moving to attack. His power is not a problem. We can handle it, Bee! Hachibi encourage Clone Bee to keep fighting instead of running away.
"Reanimation…Different form, Easy annihilation, Yay!" Clone Bee sang a short rap and started a Tailed Beast Bomb, hitting Blue B away from Bee. It did damage Blue B, yet his body regenerated back.
Kabuto smirked, It's useless.
"Run! The only way to stop me is to seal it!" Blue B wants Clone Bee to seal him in a fast way.
Bee, let's prepare the sealing. Retreat for now. Hachibi told Clone Bee to run away for now. "Oh, well then…" Clone Bee ran past Blue B.
"I won't let you get away, Eight Tails." Kabuto controlled Blue B to fire Chakra Bombs after Bee. Of course, Clone Bee avoided them all without getting hit. Blue B was pleased the Clone Bee ran off, mostly away from his comrade preventing causality. Then, Blue B went after him, still firing.
It's not good. Hachibi was not liking what was happening. "We're in a quandary. Yeah, what a calamity. But escape is my specialty." Clone Bee was calm while running and dodging attacks. How can you rap at a time like this? Wouldn't you rather jump into a hole if there was one?
Clone Bee paused his rap when Hachibi said the word 'hole'. "Hole…A hole in the heart." He remembered early when Blue B said about wanting something to fill the hole in the heart. Like, he meant the hole was the life of loneliness. So, he stopped running and turned at him.
"Nani?!" Blue B just saw him stop running. "Why you stop? I told you to run!" Then, he threw a punch, so did Clone Bee; they both collided.
"I won't lose. You're my teacher, but this time I'll give the lecture." Clone Bee sang. Then, he turned serious, so Blue B listened. "I owe it to you…" He remembered during a mission with him and A where they confronted several Iwagakure ninjas and defeating them; Blue B also saved him and explained to him where A's strength came from. "That's how I found it."
When he became the new jinchuriki, A told him that his life will not be the same anymore and his life will be extremely tough. But, he happily accepted being the jinchuriki, and he will rap giving the Tailed Beast a name. Then, A and Bee tagged fists becoming brothers; A told Bee that he is special to him and always tell him everything. He put out a fist to Blue B, "I have special people around who always support me."
"Soka," Blue B was surprised about Bee's life. "You found them…lots of special friends…" His life was filled with friendship better than his own. "That 'something' to fill the hole in the heart." He never learned the meaning of friendship because he never had any while he was alive.
"And you're one of those who are special to me," Clone Bee added. "That hole in your heart, I'll fill it completely."
"If only I had been able to find it back then…" Blue B also gave out a fist at him. As a result, his body started dissolving into ashes because Bee filled his heart with his friendship. He finished before completely gone, "Bee, stop this war." Later, Clone Bee nodded that he and his comrades will end this reanimated war.
After Blue B was completely dissolved, Clone Bee returned to normal self. His comrades cheered that Blue B was defeated. He went to other fights to assist, and the allies spread out.
To Gaara:
Gaara used wind for offensive action for his father, including the other opponents. He waited for a minute and sent sand out, so Clone Naruto and other comrades made additional wind, assisting the sand. They all lifted the sand up and Gaara restrained his father and the Second Mizukage. Rasa noticed the sand made an image resemblance of his late wife, Karura, and it also surprised Gaara.
"Karura, you still live on in this child," Rasa whispered. "You have truly grown up, Gaara." For the first time, he has received praise for his father.
"What parents need to do is need to believe in their children," Rasa was admitting shame for his mistake. "That one simple thing is the real treasure." Gaara widened.
"Isn't that the whole truth of it, Karura?" Rasa asked his wife as if he was talking to the sand. "Now I see it clearly. I didn't possess the ability to judge what you value of things."
Gaara was trying to understand what his father was saying. "Nanisore?"
Rasa answered, "No matter what, the sand will always protect you. But it is not Shukaku's power, it belongs to your mother. It's Karura's." Gaara was stunned to hear the sand is his mother's power.
Rasa remembered when Gaara was born as premature and Karura looked at him with a smile, and she promised him that she will always protect him before she died. So, he confessed, "Your mother…loved you."
Gaara widened from shock, "Otosan, did…did you really just say okaasan loved me?" Rasa looked down. However, Gaara was confused, "But that day long ago, when Yashamaru came after me…" He remembered when his uncle tried to kill him and laid dying, telling that he was never loved. Never was.
Rasa again confessed, "I told Yashamaru to lie to you, and he was merely following orders. I had to see if you would lose control of the tailed beast inside you if you were destruct for the sake of the village. If there was anyone that Yashamaru truly hated, it would have been me and not you. I'm the one who forced Yashamaru's older pregnant sister, Karura, to suffer the sealing of Shukaku the Sand Spirit, but Yashamaru was a consultable shinobi. He was loyal to me and reliable to the Black Ops for the Sand. He followed my orders for the sake of the village."
Gaara received the whole truth of his father's torture. "It was all a mistake. Sometimes it seems that every single thing I did was a mistake. I burdened you up necessarily. I arbitrarily decided that you have no true value to our village or to anyone. I took away your future by making you a jinchuriki, wronged you of your mother and poisoned you against her. I took away everything your ability to love others. I even tried to take your life. In the end, as a parent, there is just one thing that I gave you, the only thing you get from me, was a broken heart."
Gaara felt more hurt by the lies of truth and remembered what his uncle taught him about pain from wounds—difference between wounds of the heart and flesh. Another thing for pain to be healed other than by medicine was love. Yashamaru had no doubt that his sister has always loved Gaara and Shukaku the Sand Spirit was the living soul that draws the purpose of war. He lastly said that the sand he wields that automatically rushes to protect Gaara, that is his mother's love. He believed that Karura's will is carried in every grain of sand. Karura, his sister, even after her death wanted more than anything to protect Gaara.
Gaara started crying for finally receiving the very truth about his mother. He has always been, from the very start, loved by his mother. His childhood was with unlove was caused by his father as a test for to lose of the power of Shukaku. He was just a test to his father.
Rasa saw his son crying and looked down Karura, mothers are powerful. Yours believed in you and protected you even after death. She is the one who made you what you are today. She allowed you to reach your destined role as kazekage and to make friends. She gave you bonds with your siblings and community. All the things I took away from you. "As your father, all I ever I did was torment you. I don't even deserve to be called as your father."
Gaara wiped his tears away, "Okaasan was amazing. Thanks to her, I now received the medicine from you, otosan." He honestly didn't feel anger with his father, but he mostly felt happy that he was loved along.
Rasa looked at his son, also with tears, "Gaara, my son…" The sand was covering him up and the sealing tag was placed. "Gaara, you surpassed me long ago. I leave the sand village to you, Gaara." As the sand fully covered his face and sealed him, he had a smile on his lips while looking at Gaara.
After sealing Rasa, the sand dropped and Gaara left to help other comrades. He didn't need to take a minute to pull himself together, so he couldn't stop to finish with the situation he and other comrades were facing this time.

Then the explosion erupted, some edos dropped and got knocked down. Sai managed to seal Gari when a big crater hit him down.
Also, a big rock was coming down to Hizashi, who managed to break it with his palm, Hiashi and Neji appeared above and did Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm. It knocked Hizashi down, and the sealers quickly sealed him. Hiashi and Neji took a short moment, staring at Hizashi, and clutched fists. Neji muttered, "Sayonara, otosan…" Hiashi said in his mind, Sayonara, onii-san… They went off to help other comrades.
(~~~~~~)
After the explosion and some completed sealings, the Uchihas panted with tiredness and found the Sound Four down in defeat. They breathed out, laughing shortly, that they made it. Their battle was finally over and succeeded completing their jutsu. They remembered about their children and looked behind, and they found them safe for now and still alive. Even their friends were alright.
They breathed out with relief, and the whole team cheered for a while that some powerful reanimations were sealed away. There were other edos—the Uchihas, the Harunos, the hokages, Kushina, Asuma, Kimimaro Mu, Gengetsu Hozuki, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and Chiyo— there that need to be sealed. They looked where Naruto and Killerbee were fighting and the seven previous jinchurikis still in control to fight.
Sakura softly sighed and turned to the jinchuriki battle. She then called out, "I need the Sealing Corp here for the Sound Four and some comrades to come help Naruto and Killerbee."
"Hai!" Some comrades chose to go assist and the other chose to stay behind to assist the remaining reanimations to be sealed. The Sealing Corps went to seal the Sound Four.
Without notice, the Sound Four opened their eyes and grinned slyly. They secretly performed a jutsu, "Transportation Jutsu Formula: Underworld Transfer!" The seal activated around the Sound Four, trapping the Uchihas within range. Everyone jerked and watched them, and the Sealing Unit stopped their track. The Uchiha children got afraid and unsure what was happening. Tayuya laughed maniacally.
Sakura glared, "You bastards! So, you all did plan something right from the very beginning." She had suspicions earlier about them and Kabuto when she was fighting her parents and had a feeling that they were planning something. However, she wasn't been able to figure it out what it was.
Tayuya said, "Screw your pathetic showoffs, you lowlife brats. And now you will come and join the rest of us in hell!" Sakura screamed; Sasuke grunted; and Itachi choked gasps as the three male Sounds also laughed with amuse.
Everyone, including the reanimated Harunos and Uchihas, watched in horror and silence until the seal ended. The Sound Four teleported, along with the jutsu. On the other hand, Kabuto smirked while watching his plan has succeeded. The Uchihas dropped and did not stand back later; also all Sakura's clones gone away, except for the colored ninjas.
Daisuke and Ryosuke stared widely as Shina stared scarcely. They believed that the Sound Four killed their parents and uncle. Daisuke dropped on his knees and his eyes were twitching. Ryosuke shook and tears came falling. Shina cried hopelessly, "NO!"
