Snake vs. Toad


Naruto had been able to catch Kabuto off guard with his flaming Rasen shuriken but he was sure that Kabuto would not be defeated so easily. "Hey Naruto watch your jutsu damnit" The chief Toad grumbled a couple of miles away he was locked in his own battle against Manda. "Don't you dare look away from me you stupid toad or I'll kill you!"

The snake said lunging towards the chief toad with his fangs, Which Gamabunta managed to barely dodge by swinging his tanto causing it to clash horizontally with the snake's fangs. "You couldn't kill me if you tried fang face in fact you're not even the real Manda." "your just some test tube failure thought up by a Mad Scientist, so why don't you just shut up and die." He shouted to the large serpent and with a mighty swing he swung his tanto and chopped off the great serpent's head causing it to fall to the ground, seemingly marking the end of the battle, but then again nothing was ever the way it seemed especially with Orochimaru and Kabuto so when two heads started sprouting from its severed neck Gamabunta was not overly surprised.

"Didn't I tell you not to under-estimate me you stupid old toad I am Manda the Lord of the Serpent Clan I will not be killed," the two heads said simultaneously now fully grown. "For every head you cut off two will grow in its place." "Heh! The Manda I once knew is long dead you are simply a cheap imitation that will serve as nothing but a challenge for me to overcome." "The Manda I once knew was proud and strong, now enough talk it's time to for you to die." once again the battle between The Snake and Toad began anew with both sides fighting for victory and their own beliefs.

Meanwhile Naruto was engrossed in battle with Kabuto who although was not as strong as he was in the battle three years before but he was still strong enough to cause Naruto to go all out on him. Not to mention he had to deal with Kabuto's sharp Intellect and combined with that Kabuto was not one to be taken lightly. At present he and Kabuto were locked in a fierce battle of blades, Kabuto had somehow been able to implant Kimimaro's genes into himself and was now able to use the Kaguya Clan's Kekkei Genkai.

Naruto had unsheathed his Bisento blades and was battling Kabuto who had removed his bones from his arms and was using them as a pair of swords. "So it seems it's going to be a battle of the blades eh Kabuto? "Heh so it would seem Uzumaki" replied Kabuto; the two enemies continued at each other swing their blades at each other each blocking the other's attack; however Kabuto was able to get in a few good attacks.

Soon however it seemed that Naruto was being out classed by Kabuto, the snake seemed to be giving more blows that he was receiving and while Kabuto was sick he wasn't easy to beat with his swords doubling as chakra scalpels he was doing a good job of slicing and dicing him

Naruto entered Sage mode and used his Kaze Ittou No Jutsu (Wind Blade Jutsu) to create a barrage of wind storms to distract Kabuto. He then entered Tailed beast mode and made a single hand sign for the Tiger and said "Katon: Ryūen Hōka no Jutsu!" ("Fire Style: Dragon Flame Caterwaul!") Suddenly it seemed as if streams of fire started flowing out of his mouth like fireworks taking the shape of dragon head-shaped fireballs.

Which when combined with his wind barrage caused the flames to spread even farther than normal catching Kabuto head on since Naruto was able to control the Wind Barrage around Kabuto, with wind fuelling the fire there was a huge explosion.

The explosion was large enough to cause damage to Naruto himself who barely had time to use a substitution jutsu, but even that didn't save him from the sudden lack of oxygen to breathe. He quickly entered sage mode to get back on track. "Naruto chan stop being so rash all the time Ma toad told him as she looked at him in an angry way from the left side of his shoulder, will you please stop shouting at him Ma don't you see Naruto chan is trying his best?" "don't get me started on you now Pa I..."

"Will you everyone stop bickering and just shut up and let me concentrate!" A voice from within them said in a loud booming voice, they all flinched at the sound because it was none other than Kurama.

"Look I'm doing a lot of work here Naruto and I'm not seeing a lot of results; per your suggestions I allowed these two senile Toads on your shoulders to sync with me and I am even allowing them access to my chakra, not to mention having to keep up this barrier as well. Now I've given these geezers enough time it's now or never to combine all or abilities as one!" Kurama told his listeners. "Your right as always Kurama," Naruto said "alright guys time to combine our strengths into one and end this battle now." Concentrating for a few minutes Naruto first entered Sage Mode clear by the black rings around his eyes after that he turned to his two sage mentors and said "you ready guys?" After getting a nod from the two sages Naruto then proceeded to then enter a Brand New Form.

The Fox, Toad And Man then proceeded to synchronise their chakra and thoughts to enter the greatest mode of Beast, Toad and Man could combine into. The intense concentration caused their chakra to flare up and create a shroud of chakra so dense and intense that even the warriors outside the Barrier stopped for a second and looked within the barrier but could not see within. The chakra caused the Insects of the Aburame Clan and Akamaru and the two warrior toads to become unsettled and become nervous.

The chakra was so intense that even though the barrier was supposed to block all chakra signals from inside and outside the dome, it was still intense enough to cause the Animals and the ninja sensitive to chakra to react strongly to it. The Genin all looked at Shikamaru for an explanation that was deep in thought; finally he turned to the only two beings who could explain this: Hinata and Gamakichi.

Hinata although surprised and serious did not seem worried Hinata looked at Gamakichi who seemed to be asking her a silent question. Hinata nodded and said "don't worry Gamakichi Naruto- kun knows what he is doing if he is accessing that form." She turned towards Shikamaru and told him the reason for the sudden increase in chakra.

"Not to worry Shikamaru Kun Naruto is simply combining all his abilities into one form, he is trying to combine his own normal and Sage Chakra with Kurama's Chakra." "However this process is very risky because it causes the dome to become partially weakened and it allows chakra to flow out the dome and because it is combining with Kurama's raw power and chakra which is highly volatile in this state it also has the greatest risk."

The reason being that once the form is complete Kurama is in control of Naruto's body I am confident that Naruto will succeed," but when Kurama is in control Naruto tends to become a bit more ruthless unforgiving and battle hungry as his instincts become less human and more animal like."

"In short he becomes like a wild animal on the hunt which will serve him a bit better in this battle. Remember Shikamaru Kun the battle taking place in there is not of two ninja but of two Apex predators and because of the chakra signals this form emits those sensitive to chakra are also affected."

Meanwhile

Naruto was concentrating very hard before starting his transformation he created three clones to continue the onslaught on Kabuto to keep him busy while he transformed into a more powerful and final form. When he gave the signal, it immediately it began; Kurama began by pouring out his Chakra which Shima then began to collect and pour it back into Naruto while Fukusaku, began to gather Natural energy to stay in Sage Mode and supply Naruto with Sage Chakra and Naruto lastly entered Beast Mode d then proceeded to allow Kurama to take control of his body to balance the Beast chakra and Naruto's Normal chakra while Naruto retreated into the background to balance his normal chakra with Sage Chakra

Kabuto was trying to escape out of vacuüm of air and fire created by Naruto when he felt the spike in chakra, Kabuto stopped trying to fight and suspecting what Naruto was up to, began to power up as well by first releasing the curse seal he used on himself.

Kabuto's appearance changed with his arms extending into wings and his body become a darker hue, with the curse seal increasing his strength, endurance, and stamina, he was able to endure the fiery onslaught of wind and fire, he then became stone still and then proceeded to enter Sage mode as well.

Kabuto was the first one to come out of his chakra cocoon and to say that his appearance had changed was a bit of an understatement. Kabuto's eyes had changed from his normal brown eyes o black slits for pupils and his nose became elongated and his tongue forked, his hands had become more claw like and the skin beneath his arms became more flat and his bones became more hollow. While in his chakra cocoon Naruto was immobile Kabuto decided to attack at that moment trying to kill him creating a pair of swords from within him and proceeded to attack Naruto.

Gamabunta seeing that Naruto had not yet completed his transformation and that Kabuto was on the attack got enraged at the cowardice displayed by the enemy and with a great jump he managed to jump behind Manda and with his superb strength managed to catch the snake from his tail and threw him far across the clearing, the large serpent having being caught by surprise went flying across the clearing and crashed right into Kabuto causing both to fall over and allowed Gamabunta the precious few seconds he needed to get over to Naruto who had started coming out of his chakra cocoon.

With a single jump Gamabunta had been able to jump across the clearing to land right in front of Naruto, who had just come out of his own Chakra cocoon, upon seeing Gamabunta in front of him Naruto quickly understood what happened because Gamabunta like him was on a personal vendetta of revenge and the fact that Gamabunta had come to defend him meant that Kabuto had tried to escape the Barrier by killing him when he was in his chakra cocoon. It was also understood that Gamabunta was unable to deal with Manda on his own and he needed his help just as Naruto needed his.

Naruto having finally completed his transformation decided that it was time to finally end this battle once and for all. With a single jump he landed upon Gamabunta to see that Kabuto had also climbed upon Manda's Head and was ready for battle.

Appearance wise Naruto had not changed much appearance wise he still retained his Tailed beast mode cloak but his eyes had changed neither was it the eyes of The Kurama neither was it the eyes of a sage, it was a balance between them his pupils were the ones that had changed the most while one pupil held the power of The Kurama and one pupil contained the power of a sage, the two elder toads that sat upon his shoulders had also changed their appearance slightly, to keep up the transformation Shima had decided to sync with Kurama's chakra and as a result her normal toad like eyes became fox like and her normal kind features became more feral like; her hair turning from purple to dark red as a result of syncing with Kurama. Fukusaku had also changed form since Shima was no longer gathering Natural energy the burden of gathering Natural energy was upon him so to increase his endurance and his own chakra reserves he was accessing Naruto's considerable reserves while also supplying him with Natural energy and as a result of Kurama's influence his normal white hair had become a fiery red.

Naruto, Finally having accessed his greatest form looked at Kabuto who had also accessed his final form, and in a deep voice said "So Kabuto I see you have managed to also combine two forms into one, but I wonder if this will keep you from getting killed by me." "Today is your last to live I hope you have enjoyed your life Kabuto because at the end of this battle only one of us will be standing and that will be me"

Kabuto having heard everything Naruto had to say started laughing hard and said" well now Naruto I must say you are a boaster and that has not changed in all these years and I'm quite pleased at this, but don't think you can win so easily against me I have joined the best of everything within me and there is no way I can lose, However as a prize for making me laugh, here is a little present."

Digging inside his cloak he took out a scroll and after taking a casual look at the contents of the scroll he sealed it with a simple but powerful sealing jutsu and threw the scroll towards Naruto who caught it one hand "what pray is this Kabuto is this your will by any chance, I am touched that you would want me of all people to carry out your will but I'm afraid I'm not that kind of person Kabuto."

Kabuto once again laughed and said "I must say Kurama you are a comedian I think this is going to be quite the interesting battle especially with you in control of Naruto's body I think this is one battle that won't be easily won by me. No, I'm afraid this is not my will Naruto-kun," "this scroll has information about the people and reasons behind this war do you really think I could really do all this on my own."

"Kumo is not the only village affected by this war Naruto Kun within this scroll lays the reason for this war besides my personal enjoyment of course." Kabuto said laughing like a mad man. Naruto looked at Kabuto with a curious look and said "well Kabuto if your volunteering information on your own far be it for me to deny you."

Naruto made a couple of hand signs and using the blood from the cut on his face he summoned Gerotora, when the scroll toad appeared in the middle of the battle field. He looked at Naruto for instructions, after unlocking the nine tails seal Naruto hardly ever summoned him except for when he needed some information verified and stored on missions. So he was curious as to why Naruto had summoned him and atop Gamabunta in the middle of the battle field no less.

Before he could say anything Naruto handed him the scroll curtly said" I have a job for you my friend, take this scroll home and check it for traps and verify the information inside I'll call you later when I need it." Gerotora simply nodded and said "you got it Naruto" and with a poof of smoke disappeared from the battlefield.

Kabuto who had seen the scene atop Manda with an amused look on his face finally got into his battle stance and by modifying his upper arm bones he created two long, thick bone-hilted swords and brandished them at Naruto and said" Now then Naruto kun let's take off the kid gloves and start this battle in earnest it's been a while since I have had a good battle and who best to test my abilities against then you." "Let us see who shall win this battle the Snake or the Toad"

Kurama nodded and said "yes, let's get the party started Kabuto It has been a long time since I have been at the forefront of a battle especially with an opponent of such skill and ruthlessness." Taking his own battle stance and unsheathed his own Bisento blades, although they were weapons of war it was not to say they were not beautiful the handle was decorated in red, yellow and orange stripes ending in a spherical edge, and a curved, large blade attached to the pole via a golden part, decorated by what looked like a fox on one hilt and a toad on the other, with a thin part of the design protruding on the blade itself.

With a maniacal grin on their faces the two Ninja mounted leapt from their summons to engage each other in battle with a large sound did the two blades clash at each other. With their summoners once again locked in battle. The Toad and Snake restarted their battle from where they left off, Toad Blade vs. Snake Fang.


A/N it seems both Naruto and Kabuto have accessed their greatest forms it seems as though Hinata is correct no longer is this the battle of Ninja but it is a battle of two wild animals. What will be the end of this battle? Who is superior and what was in the scroll that Kabuto gave to Naruto find out the answers to all this and more next time on By Executive Orders.
