Riley's POV
I didn't attack until my dragon told me to. I ran hard at Orochimaru and prepped to stab him with Sunfyre but the Snake Sannin leapt into the air. He made hand signs and he opened his mouth. His tongue transformed into a live snake and I quickly summoned an ice barrier. His Striking Shadow Snake failed and Orochimaru's tongue receded into his mouth in disappointment.
Then I was quick to turn around to block Orochimaru from stabbing me with a kunai using Sunfyre. This bastard was fast and if I hadn't trained with Juniper so much I could have been seriously injured right now.
"Your done playing vampire asshole" I hissed.
"You maybe a Jounin my sweet one but I am one of the Sannin" Orochimaru taunted. I smirked at this remark and snake bastard shot me questioning look.
"That maybe true but I was able to give your ugly face one hell of a punch"
I then ducked and was about to give Orochimaru a much deserved kick to the gut but he caught my ankle with his tongue. The next thing the Sannin knew I had Sunfyre's blade in his side. While Orochimaru caught my ankle I used that moment to my advantage and I stabbed him. His blood stained the ground and he winced in pain.
"Maybe I should explain what just happened huh?" it was my turn to taunt the Snake Sannin. Orochimaru shot me a confused glare and my smirk widened. "My sword's blade is actually a dragon fang and the fang is mine, normally an ordinary sword wouldn't injure you due to your rank however when your stabbed with a dragon made weapon you'll get one hell of a stab wound"
I quickly took Sunfyre out of his side and I threw my left fist forward. Instead of punching his face I sucker punched his chest and this blow was hard enough to loosen his damn tongue from around my ankle. The ice barrier behind me shattered and I jumped backwards away from my opponent.
However despite injuring him this fight was far from being over. I only stabbed Orochimaru so I could slow him down.
Orochimaru panted before looking at me. He lips then turned into a smirk.
"I am enjoying this fight"
He then growled when he held his wounded side.
I wouldn't taunt him again especially when he's in pain my dragon warned. Her tone then turned amused. Though it serves him right
I agreed with my inner beast.
Orochimaru then smirked again before taking some of his blood and I told Kakashi and the others to move it before I threw Sunfyre towards my mate. Kakashi caught my sword's hilt before they moved to a safe distance just as Orochimaru used his summoning jutsu. As smoke surrounded me I took to my dragon form. It wasn't long until I was in the air repeatedly flapping my wings as I waited for the smoke to clear.
When it did Orochimaru stood on top of a red snake's head. The serpent was larger than most of his usual summons but smaller than Manda. And speaking of Manda this snake had the exact same black patterns on its scales. It's underbelly scales were topaz gold and the summons's eyes matched. The snake was also female and she didn't look too happy.
Orochimaru's POV
"What is it now Orochimaru? You know very well I was sleeping"
"I'm sorry dearest Kagura but your are my second strongest summon and our opponent is strong" I explained patting her scales.
"Oh really?" the female snake asked getting excited. Kagura was Manda's daughter and unlike her father she didn't demand a hundred human sacrifices upon summoning. She simply loved the thrill of a fight and she already coiled ready to strike. "I see our opponent is a dragon shifter very well however Orochimaru if I feel like I'm about to be slaughtered then I will leave"
"Understood"
Riley's POV
Kagura then opened her mouth and made to grab one of my legs into her jaws as she attacked. I quickly flew higher avoiding a very painful bite. I then turned my body into a nosedive and I body slammed the red snake hard in the side. Kagura hissed in annoyance before she coiled her body around my dragon form. It was getting hard to breathe however I managed to turn my head at Kagura's head and I opened my mouth.
I hissed out a stream of dragon fire and I felt Kagura's body loosen up around me. I took to the air once I was free and when the flames and smoke cleared a snake skin looked back at me. I heard Kakashi shout to look out from below and I was quick to avoid getting bit by Kagura. She had been smart to shed her skin before my dragon fire burned her and her master to smithereens. Like Manda she hid underground before deciding to attack.
I did another nosedive and body slammed Kagura hard. Then I dug all of my claws into her and sank my fangs into her neck. I felt sharp fangs bite into my scales but compared to Kagura's mine were harder. The red snake and I struggled to overpower the other but eventually the female serpent had enough and she then disappeared via a cloud of smoke.
Once the smoke cleared I spotted Orochimaru on the ground and again I unleashed my flames at him. The Sannin screamed in pain when the flames met their target. My dragon form fell to the ground and I was soon back in my human state. After the second round of smoke cleared did I see Orochimaru. He was still in one piece but he clutched his right arm and I smirked because my dragon fire burned him.
He used a substitution jutsu but still got hurt from our fire my dragon explained.
However this fight still wasn't done and no sooner had I thought that Orochimaru opened his mouth and hundreds of snakes were coming at me at a high rate of speed. Quickly I called to my element and a geyser of water roared out of the earth and it turned into ice while taking the form of a dragon's head.
"Ice Surge!" I yelled out as the ice dragon's head behind me opened it's mouth and I sent the ice wave towards the snakes. Immediately the serpents became trapped in solid ice upon contact. Eventually the ice encased snakes died when their icy tombs shattered and I leapt into the air again calling to my element. Soon shards of more ice formed around me and I unleashed Diamond Storm at the snake ninja.
Orochimaru didn't have time to react when my shards of ice hit him. Parts of his face got cut as well as his right leg.
Once I was back on the ground I charged at the Snake Sannin but after making hands signs Orochimaru had snakes shoot from his arm and the damn things coiled around my body holding me in place.
"You've become quite the kunoichi my sweet one" Orochimaru pureed as he used his snakes to lift me off of the ground. "However I'm afraid you won't win this fight"
"Boy you are a cocky bastard aren't you?" I asked.
Orochimaru smirked before his neck extended but I formed an ice barrier so he couldn't bite me. His snakes turned into ice and when the ice shattered I was free again. But Orochimaru swung his fist forward and my barrier shattered and the next thing I knew I was pinned to the ground thanks to snake bastard's Sword of Kusanagi in my right shoulder.
The blade was deep inside my flesh and more blood began to stain my tank top.
"I didn't want to use this move on you my dear but you left me no choice"
"Oh shut up asshole" I hissed before I used my knee to hit Orochimaru where the sun don't shine. He swore and I grabbed his damn sword with both of my hands and began to pull the damn thing out of my shoulder. Once it was out did I give the Sannin a well deserved roundhouse kick which sent him flying. I didn't get up until I made sure my shoulder was healed.
Orochimaru sat up and he was panting hard. He was reaching the end of his rope and so was I.
Let's finish him for good this time my dragon ordered.
Agreed I responded before I ran as fast as I could at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru widened his eyes when he saw I had my foot raised ready to kick him and he got out of the way before I slammed my foot into the ground where he just was. My foot made a decent sized hole unlike the one Tsunade made when she did that exact same move three years ago.
"Oh hell no don't go running away like a f**king coward!" I yelled as I chased after him. I jumped over the Sannin and then I began to beat the ever loving crap out of him via punches and kicks.
Each blow felt damn good and it was working. I kept up this routine until my body said it was time to wrap things up. With all of my strength I had left within me I gave the snake ninja a very hard punch to his cheek and the blow made him go flying. When he landed it ended up leaving a big ass dent in the ground.
It's over my dragon told me. You did well
Thanks dragon I answered.
I lost my footing and I began to fall backwards until Kakashi caught me.
"I'm proud of you Riley" my mate praised.
"Thanks babe"
"We better get out of here before Orochimaru wakes up" Kiba suggested as he came over with Shino, Hinata, and Akamaru.
Kakashi agreed before he picked me up into his arms and without glancing at the unconscious Orochimaru did we get the hell out of there.
This fight was a bit challenging to write. Writers block came in xp. How do you guys like Kagura?
I watched a little of Orochimaru's fight with the third Hokage, Tsunade, and Naruto and used them as ideas to write this fight. The original fight plots of Hurizen, Tsunade, and Naruto vs Orochimaru belong to Masashi Kishimoto.
