The Advent91: A fight between Master Zen and Lord Orochimaru. How will this turn out? Oh and I would like to address to an issue. You see I recently received an anonymous review trying to sound like a smart ass telling me that Chakra and Ki is the same thing and that was treating them differently. For one in this FAN FICTION I already clearly stated and it has already been established in this FAN FICTION that Ki is a higher level of power from Chakra. Like an evolution but far superior. So I had to go back to the very first chapter of the story and put an important reminder for those who just jump in and comment on the first chapter. Go back and read that it's all in bold. Also to a recent review demanding Naruto to turn into a Super Saiyan now.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It would completely ruin the story and would be no point in continuing. If he became one now he would be a GOD among all. Yes if he turned into a Super Saiyan now no one would be able to stand up to him and not even Madara and that's fact. HE WOULD BE ON PLANET BUSTING LEVEL AND THAT IS AN INDICATION OF ONE'S POWER. Those who ask for the Super Saiyan transformation I know that people will say "just ignore them dude it's cool" but I want to make this loud and clear while not meaning to sound like an ass. WAIT! TILL! THE! SEQUEL! I am putting that out there right here and now…again…for those who somehow missed reading the reason for this back in the very first chapter. So if anyone asks for a Super Saiyan transformation and once again I am not trying to sound like an ass but you will be ignored.
I did not mean to rant so I do apologize about that but it needed to be said aloud. Once again I am sorry and hope it doesn't ruin your experience in enjoying this story of Naruto's DRAGON BALL. Please enjoy the new update.
Zen Sarutobi and Orochimaru stare across to one another as they powered up for the battle and as they did Zen can sense both Sakura and Sasuke within the Uchiha District below.
"I have to lure him away from the area to give both Sakura and Sasuke the opening to grab Kakashi and get away."
"I will have to remain on guard through this fight. He may be old but he was a strong one long ago. That was then but this is now. He may not like to admit it but he's an old man now. That is something I can take advantage of."
Zen suddenly burst off through the air to his left having Orochimaru give chase after him with both leaving a trail of the color of their Ki's behind in their travel. Zen then suddenly turned around and with a howl threw the first strike as Orochimaru forced himself to a stop only to vanish before Zen's fist could touch him.
"Damn he dodged in time."
Orochimaru suddenly appeared from above performing a sledgehammer but Zen vanished in evasion only making Orochimaru smile as the White Snake brought up his left forearm blocking Zen's left kick having appeared to his left. Orochimaru then formed a sphere of Ki within the palm of his right hand to slam into Zen but the elderly man angled his body evading the sphere of Ki that shoots off through the air, and countered against Orochimaru with a roundhouse kick sending Orochimaru back through the air who forced himself to a stop. They both paused as Zen looked across to Orochimaru who had to wipe away a leak of blood from the corner of his mouth.
"A well placed and delivered kick."
"Give it up, Orochimaru. You won't win."
"That's supposed to be my line only it would be more on the lines of demanding you to give up and die."
Orochimaru caught Zen off guard vanishing and reappearing just a little bit below Zen punching his left fist across Zen's face forcing him a little higher up into the air. Zen recovered himself glaring down to Orochimaru who levitated himself up to Zen's level of height.
"Don't underestimate me you old fossil. I have surprises in store."
"He truly is a genius. He has not had Ki for long but already has such mastery over it in increasing both his strength and speed. Let's see just how good he is."
Both Orochimaru and Zen stared before both of them suddenly flew toward one another and vanished when reaching striking distance of one another. The two engaged one another with punches and kicks looking to be fighting on an even level and moving at equal speed as they reappeared in one place and then the other. Both combatants reappeared with Zen ducking under Orochimaru's strikes giving Orochimaru a smile as he impaled his fist within Orochimaru's stomach to then roundhouse kicking the man away but Zen vanished. Zen then reappeared intercepting Orochimaru delivering a sledgehammer sending Orochimaru falling and crashing upon the roof of a building.
Zen was not done yet as he reared backs his hands charging spheres of Ki before blasting them all down upon Orochimaru creating a cloud of smoke as the building collapsed. If Zen counted he had launched about thirty Ki Blasts as he watched the cloud of smoke continue to rise in the air but most importantly of all keeping his senses on Orochimaru's life force energy.
"When are you going to come out and stop playing games?" Zen asked aloud.
Orochimaru's figure was now seen slowly rising out of the cloud of smoke but what surprised Zen was seeing Orochimaru having a shield of Ki around his form as he held his hands apart with a smile upon his face.
"He doesn't even have a scratch on him."
"A nicely made combo you did fossil." Orochimaru said as he let down his shield of Ki.
Sakura and Sasuke could not believe what they were seeing. They both just saw these two moves faster than they can follow as strong as Sakura and Sasuke were now. Not only had that but the other guy that was called Zen SARUTOBI had the same energy signature just like Naruto and Orochimaru.
"What on earth is going on here? First Naruto has this Ki, then Orochimaru and now this Zen who happens to be of the Sarutobi clan. That means that Naruto lied to us about his special energy, this Ki being a part of a bloodline he may have. But why would Naruto lie to us about something like that? Not only that but since Orochimaru and this guy have this power then that means it can be learned by anyone." Sasuke thought.
"So this energy is called Ki. Wow these two sure are powerful that I can feel the intensity of their power from here. It's almost chilling in fact." Sakura thought.
Suddenly that is when they thought they saw Zen eyeing them carefully. Well it wasn't a thought he actually was eyeing both her and Sasuke. He appeared to carefully motioning his eyes in a particular direction.
"What is he trying to tell us?" Sakura asked and whispered to Sasuke.
When both Sakura and Sasuke followed his line of sight both Sakura and Sasuke's eyes fell upon the unconscious Kakashi.
"He wants us to grab Kakashi and get out of here." Sasuke said.
"But we will surely be noticed." Sakura argued.
"I think he is aware of that. It looks like that he is about to help us in that area."
Zen suddenly powered up with Orochimaru doing the same. Orochimaru prepared himself but saw Zen suddenly taking flight away from him?
"Where does he think he is going?"
Orochimaru gave chase flying after Zen. Sakura and Sasuke in the meantime moved in while keeping their Chakra signatures suppressed to a low level. They both couldn't run the risk of Orochimaru sensing them and that even means they couldn't wall run since that required Chakra but their ninja training did give them good leg work as they moved across the Uchiha District for Kakashi. In the meantime Zen had Orochimaru on his tail that suddenly increased his speed flying around Zen coming to a stop right in front of Zen stopping the Legendary Warrior in his flight path.
"Are we going somewhere, Zen? Are you running away from me?"
"Running away is hardly what it is."
"Then just what were you trying too…? Wait a minute!"
Orochimaru snapped his vision over his shoulder looking in the direction of the Uchiha District and flew back toward it only for Zen to suddenly give chase appearing before Orochimaru being the one intercepting Orochimaru's flight path.
"Just where do you think you are going, Orochimaru?" Zen asked with a smile.
"You trickster!"
Sasuke and Sakura now had Kakashi supported over their shoulders and both began to move. Orochimaru seeing this did not want to lose Sasuke.
"His body must be mine!"
Orochimaru making the slightest movement made Zen counter against the Legendary Ninja as Orochimaru found Zen suddenly before him slapping a Ki Blast across Orochimaru's face! The blast was not enough to blow off a head but merely to daze as Orochimaru was sent across the air. As Orochimaru was repelled away Zen cupped his hands…
"Ka…Me…Ha…Me…HA!"
A Kamehameha Wave closed in on Orochimaru as he finally stopped himself before looking dead into the approaching beam.
"This jutsu!"
Orochimaru managed to avoid the beam panning his form away at the very last second giving Zen a smirk before blasting his own beam forward. Orochimaru's beam hit Zen dead on as Zen was suddenly seen falling from the sky with billows of smoke coming off his form. Orochimaru laughed at the sight but when the so called Zen went poof the laughing stopped.
"A Shadow Clone but when?"
Zen suddenly appeared behind Orochimaru punching Orochimaru in the spine causing the man to yelp aloud only for Orochimaru to growl in anger. The next thing that Zen knew he received a mighty mean right punch across his face and the power he felt behind Orochimaru's punch for that quick second made his eyes widen. Both fighters then separated before suddenly dropping from the air to street level within the village streets below glaring across to one another.
"Sasuke got away from me and I have you to blame for that."
"All of the strength that was behind that punch of his. It was brief but I sensed his power. Orochimaru is still hiding some of his true power from everyone including me." Zen thought as he rubbed his jaw.
"Zen Sarutobi! You are now going to pay for this! Everything was going according to my whim but when that damned Uzumaki got in my way everything just had to go downhill. First he ruins my plan of destroying the Leaf in one swoop freeing the Nine Tailed Fox and now here you are preventing me from obtaining my ultimate prize. You will die for this!"
"I thought I already told you that you would be the one to die."
"And I thought I told you that there is no way that a feeble old man such as you as you are can hope to defeat me?"
"So far I seem to be doing pretty well."
"Oh my dear Zen, you may believe that you are doing pretty well for yourself now but I have yet to even show you my all."
"I may not be as powerful as I was in my youth but I still have plenty of tricks of my own."
Zen suddenly flared his Ki while performing hand seals blowing forward a Ki Fireball Jutsu across the street toward Orochimaru and the fireball was bigger than when normally used with Chakra as it was made from Ki. Orochimaru did the same blowing a Ki Fireball Jutsu colliding with Zen's Ki Fireball and upon impact smoke was formed and debris of small pieces of rock were sent scattering. Zen took advantage of the smoke flying up and through it but when emerging through the smoke there Orochimaru was already above him kicking him through the air crashing into the wall of a building! Orochimaru levitated looking upon Zen crashed within the wall with a smile ever so present upon Orochimaru's face.
"Did you like that, Zen? Like I told you I have not even shown you my all. Give it up and accept death. I have won. You are too old and weak just like your cousin."
Zen shut Orochimaru up suddenly aiming his palm at Orochimaru blasting a Ki Blast Cannon catching Orochimaru off guard sending him crashing into the building across from Zen before Zen released himself out of the wall. Zen was quick to then form his palms in a X above his head calling aloud his jutsu…
"Masenko-Ha!"
Zen thrust his hands forward firing an Energy Wave of yellow into the area where Orochimaru crashed into and this also caused the already giving away building to collapse. Zen did not have to wait long before Orochimaru emerge out of the rubble scattering pieces of debris apart now seeing Orochimaru was some scratches. The Legendary Ninja wore a frown upon his face with his right eye threatening to twitch.
"Well I didn't see that one coming."
"I am surprised you are even still alive from that."
"A collapse like that would have killed any normal man but then again with this Ki we are not so normal anymore now are we?"
"I won't be able to kill him like this. That means I will have to go Aura Spark. I am taking a risk here. If I am going to do this then I need to able kill him here and now. Last I used the Aura Spark I could only last for ten minutes even alone on the first stage of it. If I don't kill him in time then I will not only have drained myself nearly dry but I will also be wide open for him to take the opportunity to kill me."
"Let's continue then shall we…?"
"Orochimaru…?"
"Huh? His power is suddenly rising rapidly?"
"This is the end of the line for you."
Kurama had moved from his area flying off into a part of the village that was quiet where there was surprisingly no battle but the bodies still littered. He came to a soft landing upon the roof of a building looking around seeing the carnage.
"Compared to me I am a saint. These humans are always warring with one another and for what? For one single bloodline or difference in opinion or the pursuit to suit their own needs of gaining power in any way necessary. This world is better off without them. They disgust me but not as much as Uchiha."
Kurama stood here with his arms crossed upon his chest as he kept his Ki to low suppressed level now watching the fight between Zen and Orochimaru from afar seeing their forms slowly rise into the sky.
"They both appear to be fighting at an equal level but it looks like Zen is heating things up. He wants to end things now. I can sense his power rising and little by little it will surpass Orochimaru."
Kurama sensed that he had company as a total of three Sound ninja landed on the same roof as he just behind him.
"What the hell is this?" Sound Ninja 2 asked.
"A summon perhaps?" Sound Ninja 3 suggested.
"Identify yourself! Whose side are you on?" Sound Ninja 1 demanded Kurama.
"It couldn't hurt if I had a little fun."
"I said talk summon!"
"I am no summoning you pathetic human." Kurama said looking over his shoulder at the three with a smile.
"A fox?" Sound Ninja 3 said.
"Not just any fox so try to think about what you three are about to do because if you don't you three are going to regret it with your lives."
"Who do your elegancies align with? Is it with Lord Orochimaru or the Leaf village?"
"Whose side am I on? I am on no one's side…but my own."
Kurama vanished suddenly reappearing before Sound Ninja 1 dead in the face while at the same time his hands were aimed at the other two Sound ninja opposite side of him firing off a single wave of energy blasting them away off the roof. Then quickly after that his left hand was suddenly grasped upon Sound Ninja 1's throat squeezing it as he lifted and held him up in the air with a single arm.
"You want to know who I really am."
The only response that Kurama got was silence as the ninja looked down to him in fear.
"You may recall my return when I fought off your master's secret weapon."
It was then that the Sound Ninja realizes…
"Nine Tails!"
"In the flesh." Kurama responded with a smile before snapping the Sound Ninja neck.
Kurama looked upon the twitching feet of the man before tossing him aside off the building letting him fall to his death.
"Pathetic…"
Sound Ninja 2 reappeared out of nowhere right behind Kurama slashing his blade horizontally only for Kurama to vanish before the blade got within an inch to him. Kurama reappeared behind the ninja waiting for the ninja before him to realize. When he did he turned around in fright only to have the lower part of his face grasped over his mouth by Kurama. He swung his sword but Kurama's tail disarmed him smacking the ninja's hand forcing the man to release it and disarm himself. The ninja tried to force Kurama to release him but he didn't budge. The former nine tailed fox gave him a smirk and asked…
"Do you want to know what death tastes like?"
Emitting from behind Kurama's hand that was grasping the ninja was a light with the ninja mumbling. Sound Ninja 3 returned just in time seeing his friend now being lifted up with arm by Kurama hearing the sound of something charging. That is when he bare witnessed a flash of light blasting out the back of his comrades skull and his arms dropping to dangling aside as smoke can be seen emitting out the back of his head.
"Oh my god!"
Kurama looked off to the last remaining Sound Ninja from the corner of his eye making the man jump taking steps back. The ninja was so petrified in fear he falls off the building having not paid attention. The Sound Ninja survived the fall of course going into a tumble now upon his back looking up just in time seeing Kurama walk to the edge of the roof above still holding his friend within his hand.
"Are we going somewhere?" Kurama asked with a smile.
"W-What are you?"
"I am a demon."
"A d-demon!"
"Was this a friend of yours?"
Kurama just tossed him down letting the corpse fall and come to crash landing right next to Sound Ninja 3 seeing a hole right through his friend's mouth area with his eyes still wide open.
"If you are hoping for the other one to still be among the living I am afraid you are going to be disappointed. Let's just say I decided to end it in a snap and if you are wondering what I mean by that I SNAPPED HIS NECK."
The Sound Ninja got up and ran taking to the rooftops with Kurama watching in amusement letting the man have a head start before he vanishes from his position. The Sound Ninja moved as fast as he could leaping from one building to the next intending on leaving the village but right when he leaped to the next one he was denied. Kurama reappeared right in front of him in midair cutting off the Sound Ninja path before backhanding the ninja out of the air crashing through the window of a building into a room. The Sound Ninja picked himself up with glass falling off his form but then he heard the sound of glass crunching behind him. He turned around and blocking the window he just crashed through and standing in front of him was Kurama.
"Why are you running away? What's wrong?"
"G-Get away from me!"
"You're the one that started this my friend." Kurama said as he walked forward.
The door crashes down as the Sound Ninja was sent crashing through it tumbling into the middle of a hallway. The Sound Ninja was on his knees with blood protruding from his head as Kurama's feet came into view before him. He slowly looked up to Kurama who once again backhands the ninja once again sending the ninja tumbling across the hallway.
"You picked a fight with me and now you don't want to finish it anymore. What a coward…"
The Sound Ninja stood himself up glaring across to Kurama who chuckled.
"What are you going to do?"
The Sound Ninja performed hand seal to which Kurama knew what technique the human was going to throw at him.
"If you want fire then I can give you fire…"
Kurama took a deep breath with the Sound Ninja finishing his last seal.
"Fireball-,"
The Sound Ninja would not get the chance to even launch it as Kurama suddenly spewed flames out of his mouth across the hallway engulfing the screaming man who was now burning alive along with the building. Kurama merely burps out smoke afterwards before making his exit out of the building watching the building burn from the air.
"Now that's a spicy meat-a-ball!"
Kurama felt the increase of Ki coming from Zen.
"What's this? It looks to be that Zen is going for it." Kurama said as he looked off to his west.
Orochimaru watched Zen in slight awe with his mouth slightly agape watching Zen power up as his Ki flared around him hearing the man growling aloud.
"Okay you old prune let's see what you got with your all."
"Careful you may regret what you say." Zen replied with a smile before continuing his power up.
Orochimaru bore witnessed seeing Zen's muscle mass slightly increases in size as well as seeing the color of his Ki change to light green. Zen gave out a quick howl before his Ki sent out a strong force that knocked Orochimaru back through the air slightly. Orochimaru looked upon Zen with a calculating eye seeing the changes.
"It is no surprise that the master would have the same just as the student. After all Naruto couldn't have learned this jutsu from no one else but you." Orochimaru replied with a smile.
Zen's green Ki flared around his form with his eyes a light green color along with the color of his hair. This was Master Zen's Aura Spark! Orochimaru monitored Zen's level of power that was quite high right now that it had Orochimaru a little worried but not that much. Orochimaru smiled as he let down his guard and closing his eyes for a moment to say something but the now silent Zen took advantage suddenly punching Orochimaru across the face that had a surprised look. Orochimaru was sent crashing through the roof of another building with Zen still holding his pose as he waited for Orochimaru to come back out.
"NEVER take your eyes off of your enemy. Didn't Hiruzen teach you that or did you miss that lesson?" Zen said and taunted.
Orochimaru's figure flew out of the hole his impact made through the roof returning to air level across from Zen now having a bruise upon his cheek accompanied by a frown as he rubbed it. However he then suddenly smiled and replied…
"Oops."
"It's time to wipe that smile off your face for good."
Zen burst across to Orochimaru attacking with a kick but Orochimaru flew up higher into the air in evasion with Zen giving chase after him. While ascending Orochimaru took aim down at Zen and blasted Ki Blast down at him forcing Zen to come to a stop and begin deflecting them all away, and when the last Ki Blast came down at him he instead reflects this one back up at Orochimaru, but at the same time as he did he added his own power into it turning Orochimaru's own attack against him. Orochimaru honestly was caught off guard by that as he was hit with the blast sending him flipping back through the air with Zen giving chase up after him with his increased speed. Orochimaru finally recovered only for Zen's knee to meet his stomach knocking the air out of him before he was sledgehammer once again. Orochimaru was once again sent into many flips but this time down toward earth but managed to stop himself to looking up at Zen who closed in on him.
"He is stronger than he was before. I may have underestimated him a little but there is one thing that I can take advantage of. You may be powerful but you are still old."
Orochimaru flew up toward Zen with the two clashing their forearms with one another now crossed over eyeing one another eye to eye with their forms glowing.
"This is impressive you old fossil. So this is the power of the Master of Taijutsu. Too bad you are not as strong as you used to be I am sure."
"Just because I am old doesn't mean that I can't kick your ass!"
Kurama could feel Zen's power and although he was impressed he wasn't worried. Right now all he wanted to do was spectate the fight but Kurama can already see that Zen was taking a risk going into Aura Spark.
"Wow the old guy is giving it all he's got. If he can catch Orochimaru off guard he may be able to win. However the snake still has more to show. If you don't kill him in time before you reach your limit Zen then Orochimaru will surely kill you."
Meanwhile it seemed that something odd happened as both Jiraiya and Hiruzen continued to fight off the Reanimated Kage's and that was seeing each member of the Sound Four looking tired before each of them goes up in smoke?!
"They were Shadow Clone the entire time." One of the ANBU said.
The barrier came down with the ANBU now able to jump right in but the Reanimated Kage's still lurked. The ANBU attacked the First only for the Reanimated Kage to perform his Sacred Wood style causing giant roots to grow out of the roof and even through the stadium walls. Now that the barrier was down the Third Hokage was no longer trapped but there was still a problem and that was the Reanimated Kage's still amok. Not only that but to consider that the Sound Four only left Shadow Clones behind to hold up the barrier as long as they could means the real Sound Four are still out there. Guy was about to leave with his backup to continue the fight with Orochimaru but he was too busy trying to keep his balance as large roots grew through the stadium walls. When it was over he saw ANBU ninja being launched off the roof above by a blast of Ki.
"Master Jiraiya is with the Hokage and he is no longer trapped. It's time for us to take the fight to Orochimaru and we must hurry he needs our help!" Guy announced to the few Chunin and Jonin standing behind him.
They were about to take off but they didn't need too as suddenly both Sasuke and Sakura appeared dropping in with Kakashi supported over their shoulders.
"Kakashi!"
They all ran to Kakashi's side seeing the condition he was in with medical ninja immediately begging work on him.
"What happened?"
"He fought Orochimaru alone and he lost." Sasuke replied.
"What of Orochimaru?"
"Someone else is fighting him right now." Sakura said.
"Who?"
"Some old guy and he has the same energy signature as Naruto and Orochimaru. It was quiet but I was able to hear a name. Orochimaru called him Zen Sarutobi."
"The Master of Taijutsu! I thought he was dead."
"He's fighting against Orochimaru right now as we speak and is holding up against Orochimaru better than Kakashi did. He's good." Sasuke said.
"Okay listen here you two. You did a good job today and Konoha is proud of you but right now you two need to get to the shelters."
"We can be of more use out here." Sasuke argued.
"Don't argue with me. I am sure you both can but you two are not ready for something like this. You may hold up well against these Sand and Sound ninja but Orochimaru is a different story."
"But we already have experience with what we have just been through." Sakura said.
Guy couldn't actually believe that Sakura argued. He can see the look in their eyes not wanting to leave.
"It's okay Guy…" Kakashi said.
"What?"
"The Stadium is our now am I right?"
"It is…"
"So then Sasuke and Sakura can stay here and help defend the stadium like everyone else here. Let them stay…"
Guy didn't want to but in the end he agreed.
"Fine but you two must absolutely stay here! Don't even think about going up to the roof to fight against the Reanimated Kage's both the Third and Master Jiraiya have that covered."
"What are you going to do?" Sakura asked.
"We are heading back for Orochimaru. If it truly is the Zen Sarutobi fighting against Orochimaru with us there we can take Orochimaru down for good."
"Well if you think you are going back alone by yourself you got another thing coming." Kakashi said sitting himself up.
"Kakashi you can't! You are wounded."
"I feel fine…" Kakashi said as he popped a Solider Pill in his mouth as he turned away.
Kakashi then stood back up.
"Guy we all know you are strong but you and I both know that you alone with just Chunin ninja is not going to be enough. Like it or not I am coming and you have no say in the matter."
"Kakashi…"
"We better get moving then…"
Zen howled aloud as he punched Orochimaru once again only for the man to come back at him with a punch of his own. The two separated from one another taking in pants of air with Aura Spark Zen sweating more so than Orochimaru who wore a smile.
"You are more powerful now but like I said Zen. You are old. Going into this stage of power is draining you in exchange for this power boost. It's all because of your age fighting against you. Soon you will drain yourself dry and you will die."
"He's right. Curses! I need to finish this quicker."
Naruto who was recovering can sense Zen's power but he can also sense that he was getting weaker with each passing moment.
"Come on I am almost there. I can feel it. Just a little bit more. If Master Zen keeps this up he may die. I got to get there and save everyone. Please hang on…"
As he continued to recover he radiated a blue aura from his form. He was getting stronger from his near death experience and was almost done recovering. Add that along with now having a tail would make him that much stronger but would it be enough to stop someone like Orochimaru?
