Chapter 21
The Four Supreme Mamodo
The Bridge breaks apart as pieces fell into the Lava. Everyone was starting to get separated Naruto and Garra was on one of the chunks. Naruto nodded to Garra, who nodded back. Sand starts popping out of the gourd as Naruto move his backpack from his back to his stomach. Everyone was about to fall in, as Garra got on Naruto's back and they started jumping to safety.
Falgore: 'Poruk'
Kanchome transformed into and Hang glider while holding onto Falgore. They headed to Dr. Riddles.
Kanchome: Dr. Riddles.
They grabbed hold as they try to head to safety.
Dr. Riddles: Everyone its time to head into Plan E.
Garra's sand split in half and one cloud of sand grabbed Neji and Sakura…
Lien: 'Regaruk'
Wonrei manager to jump to Tia and Megumi with Lien on his back.
Wonrei: Tia Megumi.
They grabbed hold of them.
The other have of the sand grabbed Kakashi and Shikamaru as they fallowed Kanchome
Sunbeam: 'Go Sudoruk'
Ponygon Transformed into his second form and with Sunbeam on him, they jumped to Kiyo and Zatch, as they hopped on, and they went the same path as Naruto and Garra.
Falgore: Kanchome we're falling.
Kanchome: Well I'm not a bird you know.
Shikamaru Kakashi made it to one passage, Sakura and Neji was also at the other one across from them. The sand went back to Garra whom was in the passage way with Naruto.
Shikamaru: Kanchome fly over here.
Kanchome: Dr. Riddles I might fly to that passageway where Shikamaru and Kakashi are at.
Neji: Wonrei over here.
Lien: Wonrei over to the side, where Sakura and Neji at.
Wonrei: I'll try.
They jumped at the passage way, and slid all the way in.
Sakura: That was a close call.
Wonrei: Where are the others?
Neji: Kanchome Kiddo Shikamaru and Kakashi are over there.
Sakura: Naruto and Garra had an early start jumping across the bridge, before Dr. Riddles even called for plan E. So they're already at the passage way Ponygon and Zatch are heading.
Tia: There they are.
Ponygon was running across the bridge as it collapse
Naruto: Come on Ponygon you can make it.
Their path to the passage was destroyed.
Sunbeam: GO!
Ponygon: Meru, Meru mey.
They sided in.
Tia: Alright.
Lien: Nice landing you guys.
Dr. Riddles Kiddo Kanchome and Falgore were excited for them.
Shikamaru: Just as we plan.
Kakashi: That's for sure.
Flash back to last night.
Dr. Riddles: the most important thing is to work together as a team. We can attack the enemy at their weakest point.
Shikamaru: Otherwise Plan A. Naruto this means you can't work individual, like you normally do.
Naruto: I know that, who was the one I was the one who put our squad together after all, even with Dr. Riddles suggestions,
Dr. Riddles: Yes Naruto, we all know that. And so you all proved to be the right choice. Anyway if we all combine our powers as one we'll be incredibly strong. It's also important not mentioning about any powers or jutsu's we haven't use yet. That includes the chief Toad Naruto. That way if we have to use them, at least the enemy won't suspect it.
Naruto: Got it!
Dr. Riddles: but our enemy isn't stupid, they will keep attacking us over and over again with variety of strategies and Spells. There probably come a time where the group become scattered and separated. Even then we can't act as individuals. At the very least take the hand of the closest person next to you…
Shikamaru: For us Ninja's I created the best pair out of the 6 man squad. Naruto & Garra, Neji & Sakura, and Kakashi & myself. I have it this way so that Ninja with the best Offense are paired up with the best defenses. Even though Garra and Neji great at both. Also, that Both Neji & Sakura is great at physical attacks so I paired them up. Naruto and Garra has powers given to them by a demon spirit, so they're paired up, which just leaves me and Kakashi, which even though we don't have similar power, at least this way Kakashi can still copy my shadow techniques that will be helpful in battle. After that we go with the closest pair of mamodos, and if have to we'll use Garra's sand to help get us to safety.
Dr. Riddles: Well said Shikamaru, this reason is that in a group of two our powers will be double or triple. So we have to take precaution even if we're at a disadvantage.
Shikamaru: This will be our plan E. Our emergency plan. Remember that our objection is to make it out of this alive. And together we just might make it.
End of flash back…
Zophis: I see! This group must have more skills to make it this far.
Through each passage way everyone ran.
Zophis: However they're running to the trap I have for them all along, they won't make it through what I have plan to them. So I'll leave it to you my supreme mamodos from a thousand years ago. The ultimate power, the four supreme mamodo.
Back at the leaf village…
Tsunade was finishing some paperwork when there was a knock on the door.
Tsunade: Come in.
Kiba, Hinata, and Shino came in from a mission.
Kiba: We just finish another mission Lady Hokage. And it was a complete success.
Tsunade: Thank you Kiba that's it for your squad for today.
They stayed put didn't move.
Tsunade: What's wrong?
Kiba: Well we were thinking on our way back home, when will Naruto and the others will be back from their A+ rank mission.
Tsunade: I don't know to be honest; I think it will be another week. Don't forget they're not just in another country, but on a different Continent. Plus they're not up against some random opponent, they're against powerful enemies, in a territory they never been in.
Kiba: Oh.
Kiba and Hinata looked down on the floor.
Tsunade: Don't worry so much, just yesterday I got a call from Jariya yesterday. They're fine, and now Dr. Riddles has rejoined them along with 1 more mamodo and his human partner. They claim to have a perfect plan to defeat the enemy. So all we can do is waiting.
They left the office. Hinata went home and saw her father.
Hinata's Father: Any news on your cousin.
Hinata: They're doing ok now. 2 more mamodos and their human partners joined up with them. And they claim they have a battle plan that will hopefully pass the mission.
Hinata's Father: That's good, so hopefully make it home safely.
Zatch and Ponygon's side…
Stars levitate as if it was looking at them.
Naruto: What's up with those?
Zatch: What are those Kiyo?
Kiyo: I'm not sure but there is a possibility they're part of a mamodo.
Sunbeam: The question now is, are they planning to keep us under observation or are they planning something.
Naruto: I vote for planning something.
Garra: I'm with Naruto.
One lit up.
Kiyo: Look out I think that one is trying to fire at us.
It fired at their feet, causing an explosion.
The stars kept firing everywhere…
Kiddo and Kanchome's side…
A mamodo spins around rapidly, in his chair scaring Kanchome Kiddo and Falgore.
Kakashi: Would you guys come down? He's not even attacking us.
Dr. Riddles: This mamodo seems different than the ones we counter before.
Shikamaru: The battle begins…
Tia and Wonrei's end…
They were face to face with a mamodo with a pole.
Neji growled at them.
Lien: Wonrei!
Everyone was in battle position; Neji even had his Byatogan active.
Zatch and Ponygon's side…
They were being chase by the stars. Garra and Naruto was dodging them using Garra's Sand wave.
Garra: Naruto now!
Naruto: Got it.
Naruto throws kunai knives at the stars, missing each one. One hit so close to Kiyo that it knocks him down.
Kiyo: 'Zakerga'
Lightning came at them but miss.
Kiyo: They're to fast to hit.
Naruto: Yeah I know my kunai knives narrowly missed.
Sunbeam: No they're not as fast as you think. If you notice that these things are set perfectly. At this distance they can safely dodge our attacks.
Naruto: At least from the ground.
Garra: the only question is how they maintain that distance. Who's controlling them?
Kiyo: Yeah the question is are the separate or part of a larger mamodo? And where is the owner of that book.
Garra: There is a large possibility of being part of a larger mamodo.
Sunbeam: What makes you say that?
Garra: Take my sand for example the sand I control is actually part of the demon sealed inside me, so when it takes over the sand takes form of the demon using me as a guinea pig. That's why I don't actually sleep because of that reason.
Kiyo: Still it don't make any sense. Zatch did you hear something like someone reading a spell.
Zatch: No I didn't, hear anything.
Kiyo: Like Garra said their might be a main mamodo somewhere hiding. But where is he?
Sunbeam: I just thought of something. What if those stars function as eyes, or coding us with sound?
The stars fired again at them. Zatch and Kiyo ran to some pillars. Sunbeam pulled Ponygon to him.
Sunbeam: Ponygon come down if you panic you won't be able to see the enemy clearly enough.
Kiyo: thinking he's right; if we panic we'll never beat these things.
Naruto: whispering if only we weren't separated from Neji. Neji could see through these walls and ceilings with his Byatogan. With out knowing what's behind these walls floors or even the ceiling? There is no point of using the 3rd eye.
Garra nodded as he looks at the stars.
Sunbeam: That's true, so when you come down take a good look at the enemy, at a time like this we need your keen intellect.
Kiyo: thinking thanks Mr. Sunbeam!
They kept running as the stars fired at them.
Kiyo: We need to stop here, untill we can take down who ever controlling them, and then we need to reach the stone of moonlight. Hopefully that's where the others are hidden.
Kanchome and Kiddo's side…
The mamodo kept spinning as Kanchome Falgore and Kiddo was still standing scared.
Dr. Riddles: We can't wait around we need to attack first.
Falgore walked pass them.
Kakashi: Falgore hold it. Your not planning to beat them alone are you?
Shikamaru: Please stop it's to dangerous.
The mamodo kept spinning like a top as Falgore step forward.
Falgore: Would you mind letting us pass through.
Dr. Riddles fell on his face.
Falgore: Please let us through.
Mamodo: my answer is no.
Shikamaru: That was expected.
Kakashi: That was a waist of time.
Mamodo: unless you performed for me.
Falgore: Huh?
Shikamaru and Kakashi: That I didn't expect.
Mamodo: I'm a mamodo from a thousand years ago. I am Belequemo and I am one of the 4 supreme mamodo. I am very powerful you know.
Kiddo: What are the four supreme mamodo?
Dr. Riddles: it means that they are the strongest mamodo we ever fought so far.
Kakashi: And he wants to be entertained?
Belequemo: I was sealed in stone for a thousand years, and became very bored. You entertain me I'll let you pass through. A song or anything is fine.
Shikamaru: well that's easy we probably even can entertain him with some Jutsus.
Falgore: Do you mean it? Obviously ask for a song because you know I'm a super star. Right.
Kanchome: Falgore it will be a synch for you, that's what he wants. Sing one of your hits.
Belequemo screamed.
Falgore: I'll sing my first big hit.
Belequemo: How ever if I find it boring I'll destroy you.
They screamed and held each other tight.
Shikamaru: Great, this will be fun.
Belequemo: now let's start.
Shikamaru: I hope he doesn't fail.
Kakashi: we'll have to think of a plan just in case.
Tia and Wonrei's side…
Sakura was focusing on the human partner.
Sakura: Neji that human partners eyes; they don't have a blank stare like the others.
Neji:yeah, I notice that to, Sakura. So we better be extra careful.
Lien: Tia Megumi Sakura Neji takes another step back.
Tia and Megumi: Huh?
Wonrei: At first glance he seems defenseless but no opening.
Neji: I can tell. If we step into that weapons radius they'll attack us. thinking also I'm worry about the fact the human partners eyes are normal compare to the others like Sakura said.
They took a step back. Neji was still keeping his stance.
Neji: Sakura, stay close to me unless I say so.
Sakura: Got it!
Neji: Don't forget what Shikamaru said about us being teamed up, so that the one with the best offense is paired up with the one with the best defense.
Sakura noddedin agreement.
Mamodo: So you're not so stupid to jump in to fight. I'm Tailong one of the supreme mamodo. And I'll be your attacker for this after noon. This staring contest is getting annoying.
Human Partner: 'El Rugo'
His poll in crease in size and strength.
Neji: Sakura Jumped to Megumi.
They separate into 2. Tailong went into attack on Wonrei. Wonrei blocked every attack.
Tailong: Whoa your quiet skilled. That's too bad, it will be a pity to destroy you.
Lien: 'Rerugo'
A mirror like shield appeared as a shield, but shattered at the spell, while they manage to dodge.
Tailong: Huh what weak defense spells?
Meanwhile Lien heads strait to the spellbook.
Lien: If that human is being manipulated my powers alone should be enough.
Sakura: Neji you did tell them about what we notice did you?
Neji: Not good.
Sakura: You didn't!
Tia: What are you two talking about?
Sakura: Let's just say, hopefully we're wrong.
Lien tried to kick him but he blocked it.
Lien: What he stopped my kick at if it's nothing.
She jumped back.
Lien: This is weird. But if his heart being manipulated he shouldn't be able to do that.
She launches several attacks, and he blocked every one of them.
Megumi: I'm guessing that's what you mean Sakura; if he was manipulated he wouldn't be able to block them.
Neji: This isn't good, it seem he's also skilled in fighting. Maybe?
Neji ran off. While the Human partner block and hit Lien.
Lien: That fighting technique is an advance Chinese Kong Fu.
He headed in to attack her as Neji got close enough for his jutsu to work.
Megumi: Seioshi.
A dome protected Lien from the attack.
Neji: Eight trigram sixty-four palms.
The guy turned around and Neji came at him with multiple jabs.
Sakura: Yes, Keep at it Neji.
Tia: But how?
Sakura: The Hyuga Clans Gentle Fist fighting style is only taught through the Hyuga Clan no one else knows it. And the eight trigram jutsu is one of the advance Gentle fists fighting style.
Neji Hit him one more time making it 64 hits, but the guy just scoot across the floor still standing.
Neji: What? I hit him several times at his weak points he should be down on the ground.
The guy smiled. Neji scoot his body to the left preparing for the 360 chakra shield.
The Guy: Oh I see.
Lien: He can talk.
The guy: So you (Lien) had quiet of command over the Kong Fu, and you (Neji) the one who jabbed me so fast that I didn't see them coming, that was quiet an interesting fighting style, I never seen one till now, what was that move you call, the 8 trigram 64 palms?
Neji scooted to the others, as he launches a punch, but Wonrei manage to block it. Soon enough they were fighting.
Lien: Isn't his heart being manipulated?
The guy punches Wonrei on the side.
The Guy: As I expect from a mamodo. Now you have my interest. Otherwise I'll be two bored with this battle.
Megumi: who are you, how is it that a person's heart being manipulated able to speak.
The Guy: Ha, even your questions are boring. Those two Genins know the answer don't you.
They turned to Neji and Sakura, who stands there ready for anything.
Neji: We weren't a hundred percent sure, so we didn't say anything. But we thought he wasn't manipulated.
The Guy: Yes it's pretty simple as he said; I'm not being manipulated by Zophis.
They looked at the guy with a question look except Neji and Sakura.
The Guy: When Zophis first handed me this book, I was told the whole entire story. He told me about the mamodo and the battle that occurs every thousand years. It beats my curiosity although I had no interest on who will be king and who wouldn't; I only had interest in one thing, fighting powerful opponents. As long as I obey the rules he won't try to manipulate my heart. In order to match the book to my wavelength I just let him merely touch me.
He starts taking off his shirt.
The Guy: that's right I choose to enter this battle. I am Genso and I want to fight stronger opponents, I no longer satisfy weak humans.
Genso came at them.
Megumi: Seioshi.
Tia's dome protected everyone as he hits it, but his fist causes a crack it.
Tia: He cracked it with his bare fist.
Megumi: Impossible, what human is strong enough to fight mamodos on his own?
Neji: Especially one that isn't a ninja.
Lien: Humans that fight with power that doesn't worry from right or wrong.
Genso: 'Go Elgo'
The guy with a pole came at them. And destroyed the shield, as Genso heads into attack.
Lien: 'Rerugo'
The same shield of Wonrei came, but Genso moved across it, and attack him from behind.
Megumi: Ma Seshield.
The shield appeared but Genso stopped his fist.
Tia: huh he stopped his fist. Some how he knew the power of the shield with his instinct.
Sakura: Neji go from the right as soon as he launches a spell.
Neji: huh?
Sakura: Trust me. I'll handle things here.
Genso: 'Valerie Elgo'
A shark appeared, and breaking it.
Megumi: No way, the Ma Seshield.
Tia: It won't hold its breaking.
The shield broke and Tia & Megumi took damage. Just then Neji appeared behind Genso.
Neji: 64 palms won't work then I'll just double it. Eight Trigram 128 palms.
He starts jabbing Genso again, but mostly hitting the arms this time.
Genso: huh, for a mere human you have a lot of tricks, but it won't work.
Neji: Huh?
Genso punched him from bellow and hit the chin causing him to fall far. Neji hit the ground hard.
Sakura: Neji?
Neji slowly got up.
Neji: That's the second time I was token down from an attack from bellow.
Sakura: Yeah but at least you this time you got up.
They headed into another attack with the pole but Wonrei stand in his way and got hit.
Lien: Wonrei!
Then Wonrei threw them across the room.
Sakura: Hold on I'll use my medical ninjutsu to heal you.
Wonrei: No! You 5 stay behind me. I'm sure that Tia's offensive spells won't work. And even Neji's strongest moves aren't working against him. If I'm on the front I can take all the damage, and control them.
Megumi: You're kidding, on your own.
Tia: that will be worst.
Sakura stands quietly trying to understand what he's saying through the feelings in his voice.
Flash back at the apartment.
Sakura: Naruto, I try and try but I can't seem to get it.
Naruto: That's the problem, you're trying, you're not listening.
Sakura: huh?
Naruto: the way I was able to do this was because I didn't try to understand them, I just listen. If you just listening to them with out trying to understand it will come easy.
End of Flashback…
Sakura: thinking don't try to understand him, just listen. Come on Sakura you can do this.
Wonrei: Ma Seshield was beaten wasn't it; if it continues receiving spells stronger than that one. I'm begging you, listen to me.
Sakura opened her eyes in understanding. And nodded to Wonrei as sign as she understands.
Lien: Tia Megumi Neji Sakura we're doing as he says.
Sakura: Got it.
Neji Tia and Megumi looked at her surprise. Lien smiled at her seeing that someone understood.
Lien: Wonrei that will be most helpful.
Wonrei: yes Lien, sorry.
Sakura was explaining the situation to Neji, who was trying to step forward to do something.
Megumi: You can't Lien. Didn't you say Wonrei is the most important person to you?
Tia: That's right you talk about it last night. Didn't you two pledge your friendship to us, and say you will make out of this alive. Just when you start living together.
Neji walked up and place his hand on Tia's shoulder
Neji: Tia Megumi stop, you're making it harder on them than it has to be.
Tia: But Neji?
Lien: Are you aware of what you're saying. This still isn't all our power. This isn't a lost fight.
Tia: But!
Lien: Tia Megumi, as you said Wonrei is the most important person to me. But no matter how many memories we collect, it's our fate to be separated one day.
Neji: Lien I'll stay here, but if has to, I'll use my 360 chakra shield to protect everyone.
Sakura: Same here. I didn't come this way to just sit around to do nothing. I came here to help my friends any way necessary.
Lien: Thanks Neji thanks Sakura for understanding.
Sakura and Neji nodded. Wonrei walked up to Tailong and Genso.
Genso: So you're going to fight us alone and the ones behind you are there for support.
Wonrei: yes I won't let you touch them.
Genso: Can you do that? For a person who fights a past time?
Wonrei: My resolution is different from yours.
