Chapter 28: Rescuing the Royal Family Part 3
The rain poured heavily on flower hill. Around the hill was a long winding pathway leading up to the top. Running along the pathway was a pair of young boys, one was ten years old. One was only ten years old with bright red hair dressed in red clothing and body armour. Next to him a thirteen-year-old with long legs, brown hair, and blue eyes decked out in some kind of military attire. They were Vladimir and Tsuna, shinobi of Uzushiogakure no Sato. They were running up the hill at a fast pace, covering a large amount of distance in order to reach the top. In the distance a giant tornado appeared, tearing down a building, followed by multiple explosions, starting from the castle and echoing outwards to the guard stations.
"Increase speed, we must complete the operation as soon as possible" spoke Vladimir, pushing more strength into his young legs, increasing his running speed. Tsuna picked up the pace, running only two steps behind the younger shinobi. Rain pelted against their bodies, but a thin blue aura surrounded them, protecting their bodies from the harsh elements. As they ran up the path, in the distance, they spotted movement. Running in formation was a group of soldiers number two dozen. At the front was a large obese man with long, wavy, blond hair under a big red hat. He has a large beard and moustache. He has a hairy chest and thick, club-shaped arms, with very thin forearms, which are a bit hairy. He also had short, hairy legs sporting a large red shirt with swirly designs on it and a tail-like appendage on its back, with sunglasses, and has the Donquixote Pirates' jolly roger printed on both his arms, and a red peaked cap that also has the crews jolly roger on the front, lastly on his back was a clover-shaped iron plate.
"Shit. That's Machvise, one of the officer's under Diamante." Cursed Tsuna at the sight of the obese man. "He must have heard word about Rebecca."
Vladimir shared a look with Tsuna and clicked his teeth, "I'll hold them off. You go find the girl!" declared the student of Son Goku, deciding to risk his own life to hold them off, allowing Tsuna to secure the package. The offer made Tsuna bawk.
"Are you sure? I can remain behind as a distraction."
Vladimir shook his head in the negative, telling Tsuna to leave him. Without arguing the older shinobi agreed, "I'll make an opening for you to charge through." Without another word, Vladimir shot forward, kicking off the ground using chakra to propel his body forward "Doton Chakura Moudo (Earth Release Chakra Mode)!" A foot touched the ground and mud began to rapidly cover his body, rising from the feet up to the head. Within moments, Vladimir was covered from head to toe in mud that hardened forming a thick earthen armour that gave him a samurai look. This was one of the reasons why Vladimir offered to stay behind instead, able to use this chakra mode for improved defence and second was because he had a secret weapon.
Vladimir's form grew in size to six foot, the armour enhancing his physical capabilities, as with a single push off, his body moved three times faster than it normally could. His heavy footsteps drew the attention of the soldiers who began to turn, only to see a giant hulking behemoth coming towards them. "Doton: Kouken (Earth Release: Armoured Fist)!" Vladimir roared, swinging his right fist into the path of the soldiers. The earth around the fist expanded until his fist was three times its usual size. The enlarged fist collided with three soldiers carrying enough force it dented their armour and sent them flying.
Vladimir wasn't done there however as he extended his left hand, "Doton: Buso no Jutsu (Earth Release: Armament Technique)". Mud rose up from the surrounding soaked earth flowing into his open hand. The mud began to take sharp, transforming itself into a two-metre-long pole, before appearing on top was a large hammer over two metres long. The mud hammer solidified turning into heavy stone. With a swing the massive hammer came around, hitting a single soldier with enough force it broke their right arm, shattering the bones on impact. Giving a roar, Vladimir gripped the hammer with both hands; the right had shrunk back to normal size. The massive hammer was swung again carrying more force than before. The powerful weapon collided as Vladimir charged in, opening up a wide path for Tsuna.
Once the path was open, Tsuna fell into a low stance, gathered chakra into his feet and kicked off. The shinobi launched forward, wind began to form around his legs, pushing downwards in order to propel him forward, providing an extra push. With that extra push Tsuna, darted through the opening towards Machvise who had turned around, noticing the commotion. Vladimir was already on it, charging through with his earthen armour, swinging the massive hammer into Machvise. The obese man crossed his arms over hairy chest as the stone hammer connected. Cracks formed in the hammer before it shattered, but the force behind it knocked Machvise back five feet.
In that time, Tsuna had jumped over Machvise, creating air cushions beneath his feet, to kick off air itself to charge up the hill. Tsuna vanished into the distance leaving only Machvise and the two dozen guards, four of which had been knocked out of the fight. Vladimir held out his left hand again, mud flowed up into it reforming into another stone hammer. Crossing the distance, Vladimir in his armour closed the gap, swinging the giant stone weapon towards Machvise. The giant obese man jumped up, getting a surprising amount of height as he flew up, appearing to float as if he was weightless.
The man loomed over Vladimir before he suddenly came plummeting down towards the child. The student of Son Goku, tightened his legs, pushing them into the ground and dropped his stone hammer. Mud began to flow from the terrain, latching onto the earthen armour reinforcing it, making it enlarge until Vladimir was ten foot tall. Two pairs of massive arms lifted up, intercepting the incoming obese male. A massive amount of weight collided with those arms causing them to crack under the force. Vladimir pushed against the earth digging in, as an endless supply of mud flowed onto his armoured body, restoring any damage. The weight of the man continued to increase as he becomes heavier and heavier. The ground beneath the boy began to crack. Soon cracks began to spread along the armoured arms as bits began to fall.
Vladimir strained under the increasing weight, his armour starting to break apart. With a battle cry, fire chakra coursed through his veins and began to pour into the earthen armour. The armour began to glow bright red before it burst into flames and the boy was coated in a field of flames. The fire burned brightly, evaporating the rain. Fire raced up to Vladimir's arms, allowing it to touch Machvise's body, making him howl in pain. The weight started to let up, vanishing quickly as the man pushed off the heated armour, landing on the ground with a soft thud. The man was patting his chest area, the fire had not only burnt his chest it incinerated the ungodly amount of chest hair.
The flames died down as the earth armour began to crumble, pieces fell away crumbling into nothingness revealing Vladimir's ten-year-old body. The Shinobi panted softly, the earth armour was taxing on his chakra reserves. While the boy's chakra reserves were significantly larger than the average ten-year-old during Naruto's day and had been increased thanks to not only Son Goku's help but also Naruto's, it was still taxing on a ten-year-old who had yet to fully master his abilities. Once the armour had crumbled away, Vladimir caught his breath, finding himself surrounded by the remaining soldiers, pointing their weapons towards him, each carrying a long rifle. The soldiers formed a half ring, leaving a gap for Machvise to advance through.
The boy clapped his hands together, forming the snake seal and stopped a foot onto the ground, "Doton: Doro Mayu (Earth Release: Mud Cocoon)!" The mud created by the rain sprung up, latching onto the bodies of the twenty-some soldiers. The mud began to rapidly spread up their bodies making them scream in terror. The mud crawled all the way up, wrapping around them forming cocoons that quickly hardened over trapping them inside. With the soldiers out of the way, it would allow Vladimir to concentrate all efforts on Machvise, however, the boy was lacking in experience, to accommodate this he decided to go all out.
Taking a deep breath, Vladimir channelled fire nature chakra to his lungs and let it rise up his throat. The boy's cheeks expanded as they became red out. Parting his lips, Vladimir exhaled, "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)!" A long stream of fire spewed before, morphing into a gigantic ball twice the size of the obese man. A trench was formed as the ball of fire tore up the ground. The heat coming off of it hardened the surrounding earth. The fireball raced forward, knocking three cocoons aside as it headed towards Machvise with the intent to engulf him in its flames.
Machvise removed the shield from his back throwing it into the oncoming fireball. The first thing he felt was intense heat burning at his skin, before the oppressive force of the fireball hit. The power behind the raging fire pushed Machvise backwards. The intense heat, made the shield glow red as the temperature rose and the metal it was made of grew searing hot. Even as the hot metal singed his flesh, Machvise refused to let go, biting down and enduring the pain, as two rows of fire ran beside him. Digging his heels in, Machvise was pushed back, the heat of the flames licking at his face. Once the flames had finally died down, the pirate dropped the shield, hands a burnt mess, flesh hanging off the bone.
Vladimir removed a number of shuriken from his holster and threw them out into the air, ten in total, "Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu (Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique)!" The boy breathed air, firing a volley of small fireballs. The balls of fire hit the shuriken, speeding them up as the metal throwing stars become tiny meteorites. The Hosenka technique usually the user would fire the volley of fireballs first while the shuriken was hidden after. Under Naruto's guidance the technique had been modified, when used after releasing a volley of shuriken the fireballs could be used to engulf the shuriken, not only increasing their attack power but also increase their movement speed tripling it. The flaming shuriken's shot through the air pelting down on Machvise body, forcing the obese man backs. The shuriken impaled into his body from multiple directions as the body seared flesh.
Vladimir gritted his teeth, things couldn't continue like this as he was using up far too much chakra. The boy resorted to plan B. Red chakra began to bubble around Vladimir's body. The chakra bubbled from his stomach, encroaching over the youth's body forming a protective layer. The chakra bubbled violently as a strange tailed formed at his tailbone. The tail flicked back and forth in a menacing manner. A thick killer intent came to life engulfing the surroundings. The boy's eyes began to change colour as yellow bled into the iris and the pupil became white. This was the version one, one tailed cloak manifested from Son Goku's chakra. Every student of a Bijuu had a portion of their chakra added to their own, mixing alongside it in harmony and could call upon it when needed. Vladimir only had enough of Son's chakra to activate the one tailed version one cloak. It was all he could handle without going berserk from the massive influx of chakra coursing through his veins.
The student of Son Goku clapped his hands together, "Yoton Chakura Moudo (Lava Release Chakra Mode)!" Lava began to boil around him, coming into existence from nothing but pure chakra that combined the properties of Doton and Katon, fusing them together to create an even deadlier element. Thanks to an injection of Son Goku's chakra that alerted his own, it gifted Vladimir the ability to utilise Yoton (Lava Release), at the moment however he only had the ability to use it with Son's chakra. Vladimir had yet to learn how to use it on his own.
Lava coated Vladimir from head to toe in protective yet deadly armour. He could only access the Yoton Chakra Mode when accessing Son's chakra, but only for a short period of time as it rapidly drain Son's chakra. Without hesitation, Vladimir launched forward, charging towards Machvise like a shooting star. Vladimir collided with Machvise, travelling with the force of a wrecking ball, smashing right into the obese man. The lava around him scorched flesh, as it burned through to the third layer of skin.
Machvise had no choice but to retreat against the lava boy. This type of opponent was his natural enemy as Machvise had no abilities to touch them as he mainly used his devil fruit powers to crush foes. The man was a Super Weight Human, able to increase his physical weight to a tremendous amount. He would often use said weight to crush opponents, but against this boy covered in lava would cause extensive damage to him.
Vladimir didn't give the man time to rethink his strategy, charging in again, trying to make full use of the armour before it vanished. Closing the distance, Vladimir pulled his right fist back, "Yoton: Shakugaikouken (Lava Release: Scorching Armoured Fist)!" The lava fist shot forward, aiming towards Machvise's chest. The massive obese man retreated backwards, creating a ten-metre distance between the two. Vladimir didn't let up as two blobs of lava shot off from his body, "Yoton: Kage Bunshin (Lava Release: Shadow Clone)!" The lava manifested into two identical copies of Vladimir, the exception was they weren't coated in the lava armour or Son Goku's chakra.
The two copies and original advanced, the two clones moving left and right, while the original ran up the middle. The two converged towards Machvise, in an attempt to block him in. "Yoton: Nagare Yohana no Jutsu (Lava Release: Flowing Lava Flower Technique)!" The two Vladimir's breathed in, cheeks parting comically before their lips parted. Red hot lava spewed forward, the molten rock cut through the air as a thick stream. The stream was fired up into the air where it began to rise above Machvise. The stream of lava began to expand, blossoming like a flower as it expanded to cover a wide area, descending down onto the man covering as much area as possible.
The man didn't have a chance to move as Vladimir placed both hands together in a snake seal, "Doton: Seijuu Mayu (Earth Release: Locking Mud)!" The mud beneath Machvise shot up like rope, wrapping around his legs and climbed upwards, covering the obese man's entire lower half. The mud gripped tightly, and as Machvise tore away at it desperately, the mud would only be replaced. The mud was so thick, the man couldn't move his lower legs and could only look up hopeless as the two waves of lava came crashing down on him. A tidal wave of lava, poured down over Machvise covering the man from head to toe as it leaked over the sides of the hill. The man's agonising screams could be heard as the lava melted away at him, turning him into nothing. The lava swallowed the man whole, burning with such an intensity it liquefied his very being and integrated it into itself, leaving no remains. Even the cross shaped shield he wore wasn't spared as it melted away to nothing. With a command the mass of lava hardened and broke away, dissolving into the earth like it never existed. The lava armour Vladimir melted away, as Son Goku's chakra retreated. The two clones popped out of existence the small amount of chakra they had been given was spent.
Vladimir, rested on his knees, leaning forward, panting heavily to catch his breath. Beads of sweat dripped down his forehead, the boy was feeling rather spent. While Vladimir had large chakra reserves, around a quarter of what Naruto possessed when he first became a Genin, the earth chakra mode, the clones, the techniques the clone used and the earth and fire ninjutsu he had cast, all consumed a large amount of chakra. Yoton Ninjutsu was especially taxing as he hadn't quite gained enough control to use it efficiently and spent three times the amount of chakra necessary to use them. Vladimir was really only proficient with Doton Ninjutsu and was slowly gaining control over Katon Ninjutsu. Even with the chakra provided by Son to subsidies the chakra costs, it was still all too costly on the boy.
Appearing in a swirl of leaves beside him was Tsuna. On the thirteen-year-olds back was a small girl no older than six maybe seven years with neck length pink braided hair, wearing a light blue hooded coat. The little girl had her arms wrapped tightly around Tsuna's neck, appearing startled by the boy's use of the shunshin technique. Eyes squeezed shut from fright.
"Package is secure. If you're done, we should convene to the extraction point," said Tsuna on arrival, using a free arm to help the exhausted Genin stand.
"The enemy has been eliminated. As for the other targets they have been restrained." The student of Son Goku removed a modified military rations pill from his shinobi pouch and swallowed it. A surge of chakra flooded through the boy's body refilling his reserves. Vladimir stretched his limbs as the exhaustion disappeared.
The young girl on Tsuna's back opened her eyes to the sound of the new voice. Eyes parted revealing a shade of soft pink, matching her hair. Looking around, she looked onto the red clothed form of Vladimir. The girl shied away, hiding behind the older shinobi. Tsuna scratched his right cheek sheepishly, "No need to be scared, that's Vladimir, a friend of mine, he's here to help you." Reassured the Chunin, using a soft tone, trying to make the girl see that the red haired youth could be trusted. The little girl peaked out from Tsuna's back, looking to the red headed youth with a dubious gaze.
Vladimir struck a nice guy pose, flashing pearly white teeth and gave a thumbs up, "No need to fear, Vladimir is here! I am the man who will eventually be known all over the high seas! The mention of my name will make pirates run in fear!" proclaimed the ten-year-old, sticking out his chest with proud. The boy was series, most of the time but there were times where he loved to boast, especially about how in the future he would have a feared reputation.
The little girl giggled and pointed a finger at him, "You're not a man, you're a boy" she stated the obvious after all Vladimir hadn't even gone through puberty yet.
The boy waved a hand at her, "Bah so what. I'll become a man one day and many people will know my name!" Vladimir shook it off not affected by it at all. Tsuna shook his head at the red-haired youth, Vladimir was quite passionate about his goals, especially with the desire to become one of the strongest men alive, but the boy would surely have competition from the other Shinobi of Uzushiogakure. Many of the Shinobi had the goals to become the strongest, just after Naruto, knowing they would never be able to surpass him in terms of strength, but that didn't mean they couldn't dream of being stronger than men like Kaido and Whitebeard.
"Let's move. We're wasting time standing around. The mission is what's important" Tsuna reminded the student of the Yonbi about why they were here.
"Right let's move." Vladimir turned serious.
"Hold tight." Said Tsuna to Rebecca on his back, placing a hand beneath her. The two then went up in a swirl of leaves, using a shunshin to move quickly to the extraction point. Vladimir followed, after making sure the coast was clear. Stomping a foot on the ground the cocoons encase the soldiers broke away.
"See ya's!" Vladimir waved to the confused men and vanished in a swirl of red flames.
Extraction Point
A swirl of lightning arrived at the extraction point, the building where the Shinobi of Uzushiogakure first arrived. Appearing amongst the bolts of lightning was the boy Sazuki a member of Team 5. In the youth's arms was a tall, attractive pink haired woman who looked startled by their sudden arrival. Standing across from them was Sayo the leader of Team 5, Team 3 and Son Goku. The sight of a horse sized monkey with four long tails and red fur, caused the woman to suddenly scream,
Son Goku stared at the woman giving her a deadpanned look, "That's not very nice. Didn't think I was that ugly." The Bijuu gave himself a once over and patted the fur of his cheeks.
Sayo gave an awkward smile to the Bijuu, "Scarlett-san has probably never seen anything like you before Son-sama. Please excuse her rudeness." The Bijuu waved it off showing that he hadn't really been bothered by the remark. The giantess stepped forward, towering over Scarlett.
"I am Sayo, Squad Leader of Team 5 and member of the Shinobi Forces of Uzushiogakure no Sato of Uzu no Kuni." The giant gave a polite bow in greeting to the princess, "I apologise in advance for the suddenness of all this, but we have been ordered by the Uzukage, Uzumaki Naruto to retrieve you, your daughter, father and sister."
"My daughter, do you have her!" blurted out the pink haired woman, scared for her daughter's life. Scarlett had rushed to town to find Rebecca something to eat, leaving her alone atop flower hill. Arriving in a swirl of leaves and another in a swirl of flames just as Scarlett spoke was Tsuna, Vladimir and Rebecca. Upon seeing her daughter, Scarlett raced over.
"Rebecca!"
"Kaa-san!" The little girl leapt off Tsuna's back, crying as she ran into her mother's opened arms.
"Reporting in, the package has been collected!" Tsuna indicated with his head towards the pink haired girl, who was hugging her mother. After their arrival, a swirl of water materialised next to them and out-stepped the black haired Anbu woman, Suzuka, with them was a young woman approaching her twenties with dark brown hair.
"The original is stalling Doflamingo." Spoke the masked woman, revealing they were just a clone, before dispelling herself going up in a cloud of smoke. Viola stumbled about from the sudden rush of movement, trying to steady herself, coming into view was the pink haired woman scarlett.
"O. Onee-sama!" The youth was startled by the sight of the pink haired woman. The familiar voice drew the woman's attentions, tears forming in her eyes. "Viola." The younger sister raced over, joining the embrace of the duo.
Wind flew into the warehouse, blowing boxes away as it congregated together taking on a human shape. The wind took the shape of the young boy Houjin, in his arms was a heavily burned woman, Monet. "Looks like I'm a little late to the party." Joked the Kaze Kaze no Mi user. The other Shinobi shared a look before glancing at the woman in his arms, noticing she was locked in stasis.
"Ah, what's with the girl?' asked Vladimir raising a curious eyebrow, she didn't match any description of the royal family, especially seeing how King Riku only had two daughters and they were both here.
"Some woman I picked up. She's a member of Doflamingo's family with some kind of Snow based Logia Devil Fruit. Thought I'd bring her back let Naruto-sama interrogate her, never know what knowledge she could possess." Though in truth, Houjin had just taken pity on the woman who had been burned badly from his attack. The Shinobi just shrugged it off, it wouldn't hurt to bring the woman back, even if Houjin hadn't intended to bring her back for those reasons, they could still interrogate her, once the woman had been healed.
Multiple swirls of leaves arrived as the members of Team 4 appeared on the scene, with them was an older male with white hair, dressed in royal armour. The man was none other than King Riku Dold the Third. "Team 4 reporting, King Riku has been safely secured!" The three Shinobi stepped aside as the King advanced slowly towards his family, not even seemingly aware of the other occupants of the room.
"My daughter's and precious granddaughter, you're safe." The King began to cry tears of joy, turning to face the Shinobi who had helped in their rescue. The King fell to his knees forehead hitting the ground as he did a dogiza bow. "I thank you, from the bottom of my heart for rescuing my family!" Tears spilt down his cheeks, the sight of the crying old man made the shinobi feel a little off.
Sayo's hands waved about in front of her, "Please don't bow, we were just doing our duties. Naruto-sama ordered us to rescue you and your family." Explained the giantess, wanting the King to stop kneeling before them.
The King looked up teary eyed, "Even so I must express my gratitude!" The Shinobi spared each other a glance and chuckled awkwardly.
A loud explosion was heard in the distance, coming from the castle. "It appears Suzuka-san is not taking it easy on Doflamingo." Piped up Houjin looking out of a window towards the castle.
Sayo clapped her hands together, drawing everyone's attention, "While Suzuka-san is distracting Doflamingo, we should all leave immediately. Tsuna, Sazuki and Houjin you shall assist in setting up the transportation formation." Sayo barking out orders to the group. The remaining members of Team 5 and Houjin moved, joining Sayo in forming a square formation. Each team-member removed a sealing tag from their pouch and threw it out in the air, hands coming together in the ram seal. The tags lit up, coming to a stop in mid-air. Beam's of chakra shot out from each tag, connecting to another tag creating a square in mid-air. Multiple beams of chakra shot up in the air, as Sayo threw out another tag that floated above the original four. The chakra beams connected to the floating tag creating a pyramid. The pyramid grew in size until it was ten feet tall and touching the ground. The four tags that had been floating stuck to the ground. Chakra spread along the empty space creating a three dimension chakra pyramid.
"King Riku please step into the pyramid with your family." Ordered the young woman giving commands to the royal family.
"Come, let us do as the young woman says." The King ushered his family into the strange glowing pyramid, deciding to trust the Shinobi of Uzushiogakure. The four family member's stepped in, Viola and Scarlett stood in front of their father, while the pink haired woman held Rebecca in her arms.
"Team 3 and 4 enter the formation!" Barked out Sayo issuing orders to the two Shinobi squads. Without delay, the six shinobi entered the formation taking up a hexagon protective formation around the four royal's. "Activate the formation!" Sayo clapped her hands moving from the ram seal into a snake seal, the other three holding the formation soon followed. The pyramid began to glow before all ten occupants vanished in a flash of white, being teleported directly to Uzushiogakure no Sato.
After the Royals were gone a swirl of water came into existence and the original Suzuka appeared, "Has the mission been completed!" Barked out the Anbu operative the moment she appeared.
"Yes Suzuka-san, all members of the Royal Family had been safely escorted to Uzushiogakure. Team's 3 and 4 have been sent along as escorts." Sayo relayed what had happened to the trusted aide of the Uzukage.
"Good. Everyone begin the evacuation procedure, we are leaving now." The woman issued the order's taking over from Sayo. Houjin pulled out a three-pronged kunai from his pouch and disappeared in a flash of white, behind him was Vladimir and Son Goku. The three members of Team 3 collected the paper tags used in the formation and vanished in a flash of white. Suzuka gave one last scan of the area then disappeared with the Hiraishin, becoming a white flash that travelled towards Uzu no Kuni.
Just as quickly as they had arrived, the operation to save the Royal Family had been completed and the Shinobi had returned to Uzushiogakure.
