'Internal thoughts'
"Normal conversion"
"Tailed beasts talking"
After a few seconds, they both approached the Gold and Silver brothers.
"Have you decided to surrender?"
"Not today!" Minato exclaimed as he shot several spears of lightning at them.
"Raiton: Gian (Lightning Release: False Darkness)"
"This again." Kinkaku mocked as he stepped forward and swung his fan, unleashing a strong torrent of wind.
"Bashōsen: Coil of Wind"
Kinkaku's torrent was able to successfully negate the lightning spears but they weren't prepared for the hidden iron spears in them.
Kinkaku hastily tried to swing his fan again as Ginkaku prepared to punch and redirect the spears away with Kokinjo in case Kinkaku failed.
Before either of them could react, Minato flashed between them and disappeared just as quickly, taking Kinkaku with him.
Ginkaku cursed as he tried his best to defend against the iron spears.
XXXXXXXXXX With MinatoXXXXXXXX
Minato quickly jumped back as Kinkaku tried to smash him with his fan.
"Not so tough now, are you?" Minato mocked as he prepared several of his Hiraishin kunais.
In response, Kinkaku smirked and let go of the fan, "You have no idea" He replied as red chakra started to cover his body.
Minato quickly threw his kunais at him and attempted to kill him before he could complete his transformation.
He failed.
Kinkaku, now covered with the red chakra of the nine tails, roared, the shockwave from his roar scattered the kunais before they could reach him.
"Well, Shit." Minato cursed then quickly flashed away as Kinkaku made a mad dash at him.
'I should end this quickly, even though he isn't a jinchuriki his transformation is just as powerful as an actual one' Minato thought as he prepared a plan of action.
"Quit running!" Kinkaku exclaimed as he attempted to catch Minato with several of his red chakra claws.
"And let you kill me? no thanks," Minato replied as he Hiraishined away.
This followed for several seconds after which Minato suddenly stopped and slammed his hands on the ground.
Several seals began to spread from the kunais surrounding Kinkaku, he tried to jump away but Minato suddenly teleported near him and slapped a piece of paper on his forehead.
"Uzumaki Sealing - Complete Body paralysis" Minato muttered.
"This won't hold me!" Kinkaku exclaimed as he began to overpower the seals.
"I know" Minato replied as he jumped away from him.
The seals from the kunai had now began to spread across Kinkaku's body.
"What have you done!?" He screamed as he slowly began to lose his strength.
"Those are special chakra draining seals I created, to specifically suppress a Jinchuriki's tailed beast chakra" Minato replied "But since I have not mastered it completed, its works a little slow, hence Gogyō Kaiin - Five Elements seal " He finished as his fingers suddenly burst into purple flames, "This will block the flow of chakra in your body".
Kinkaku widened his eyes in horror as he struggled to break free.
As Minato was about to thrust his fingers into Kinkaku's stomach, A sudden shockwave hit them, throwing them off their feet. Minato quickly flashed to safety as Kinkaku vanished into the smoke from the debris.
XXXXXXXXXX With The Kazekage XXXXXXX
Ginkaku was able to dodge and divert all the spears away from him.
He smirked "Is that all you got?".
"I thought you'd never ask" The Kazekage grinned.
"Satetsu Kaihō (Iron Sand: Iron World)"
The iron spears surrounding Ginkaku suddenly began to morph and burst into spikes that began to spread and branch off unpredictably.
Ginkaku was able to evade them for few seconds but ultimately the technique trapped him within itself, piercing his torso, arms and legs.
"And now, the finishing blow" The Kazekage continued as he weaved through handseals.
"Kyodaisō (Giant Spear)"
He formed a giant triangular shaped spear and launched it at Ginkaku.
There was a burst of red chakra just before the spear hit him. The Kazekage kept his guard up since he could sense the rise of chakra in his foe, suddenly the large spear he threw at Ginkaku was launched back at him.
Ginkaku roared, causing the surrounding iron structures to collapse due to its power.
As the dust settled, Ginkaku, now covered in Nine-tail's red chakra, leapt at him.
The Kazekage quickly created a dense iron wall from the thrown spear and launched it at him from above.
The wall was able to overpower Ginkaku and crush him to the ground.
Though, he didn't stay down for long.
With a loud, Ginkaku emerged from the iron block, ripping it apart with his brute strength.
As he prepared to leap at the Kazekage again, he found himself immobilised. The iron sand encased his legs and held him in place, he attempted to free himself with his tails. But the Kazekage immobilised them with long spikes, nailing the tails to the ground.
As Ginkaku struggled to free himself, The Kazekage finished his hand seals and clasped his hands together. Noticing the Kazekage prepare his Jutsu, Ginkaku too began to prepare a Tailed beast bomb.
"Satetsu: Satsugai Hiku (Iron sand: Fatal Attraction)"
The iron sand around Ginkaku began to morph into numerous deadly spikes of varying sizes and hovered in the air, all aimed at Ginkaku, A particularly big spike launched itself at Ginkaku's throat, the spear was unable to pierce through the thick chakra cloak but it did its job of preventing Ginkaku from launching his Bijudama.
Suddenly, the spears around him began to rotate at high speeds, creating a buzzing sound.
"Goodbye," The Kazekage muttered.
The rotating spears all converged at Ginkaku, at the last moment, he was able to free some of his tails which he used to wrap around himself.
The cloak managed to stop some of the spears but some still got through, piercing him all over.
"You are one tough son of a bitch" The Kazekage muttered as he morphed his iron sand to create an enormous spear and began to spin it, creating a drilling effect.
"But I have fought tougher beings than you" With that he launched the spear.
As the spear was about to pierce him, a sudden shockwave coursed through the battlefield followed by a bright light and deafening sounds.
The shockwave forced the spear off its path, saving Ginkaku from his imminent death.
As the light dimmed down, The Kazekage followed the source of the attack only to see a massive golden Nine-tails looking off in the distance, presumably to the target of his attack.
Looking back down he saw that Ginkaku had escaped and was making a mad dash towards the Nine-tails along with his brother, who too had transformed into version 2 of the Nine-tailed beast mode.
"Well, Shit" The Kazekage cursed as he followed after them.
XXXX With Naruto vs Fubuki Mizukage Onoki Kitsuchi A XXXX
"Now then, let's get started" Naruto exclaimed.
The brothers roared as they launched several chakra hands at Naruto, he was able to dodge and redirect most of them and those which he couldn't, he just sliced through with Mugetsu.
Teleporting beside them, Naruto kicked Kinkaku away and smashed a Wind style: Rasengan in Ginkaku's chest.
As he moved to follow after them, he found his legs stuck in the mud.
Looking around, he spotted Kitsuchi with his palms touching the ground, before he could escape from the trap, A suddenly appeared in front of him and punched him with his lightning covered fist, Naruto managed to block the attack easily, not even moving an inch from his place.
Naruto teleported away before anyone else could attack him again.
"Impressive," Naruto praised, "Using Doton: Keijūgan no Jutsu (Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique) to lighten A's weight so he could move faster."
"Hmmph," Onoki grunted as he poked his head from A's shoulder "You figured it out way too quickly".
"Of course" Naruto replied, "My Sharingan isn't just for show."
Raising his arm, Naruto looked at the spot where A's punch had landed, "Your speed has definitely increased, but now, your punches lack power because much of your weight is reduced, besides, now that I know how it works, it won't work on me again", Naruto then teleported beside Kushina.
"Minato keep them busy" He ordered, pointing at A and Onoki "Kazekage, take care of the swordsmen, he drains chakra with a mere touch, it would be troublesome to deal with him in close combat. Your ranged attacks should give you the advantage", he continued "Kushina keep Kitsuchi and the Mizukage in check. I'll go take care of the brothers".
With their orders received, everyone proceeded to their objective.
"All right, let's get this over with" Naruto muttered as he leapt in the brother's direction.
The brothers were ready for him when he landed. Using their tails, they attacked Naruto as soon as he landed. The tails wrapped around him, holding him in place as the brothers began to power up a Bijudama.
"This again" Naruto muttered as he applied chakra to Mugetsu, engulfing it in his red-black chakra. The sword sliced through the tails like a hot knife on butter.
"Yin release: Bakudō #63: Sajō Sabaku (Ethereal Binding Chain)"
The ground below the brothers glowed briefly after which several purple chains shot up, binding them before they could react. The chains wrapped around their body, stopping them from launching the Bijudama, causing it to dispel prematurely.
The brothers struggled to break free, trying to overpower the chains.
"Don't bother" Naruto spoke as he walked away from them and stopped severel meters away "That spell can bind a partially transformed jinchuriki, but don't let that stop you" he used his sword to cut away the remaining tail, "You must be aware of The Bashōsen (Banana Palm Fan), The Benihisago (Crimson Gourd), The Kohaku no Jōhei(Amber Purifying Pot), The Kōkinjō (Golden Canopy Rope) and The Shichiseiken (Seven Star Sword), But there was another sacred tool of the sage that nobody knew about, it was a black sword with the ability to negate, repel and absorb all forms of chakra" he raised his sword to show them Mugetsu, "This is that sword", he then pierced the sword in Ginkaku's shoulder and passed chakta through it, the effect was instantaneous, Ginkaku immediately began to loose his red cloak and within seconds, his tailed beast cloak dissappeared, exposing the shooked look on his face, "The Uzumaki clan had it all along, it was their heirloom and because of its special ability to negate chakra, they never used it in any battles or disclose its existense in fear of it falling into wrong hands or it being used against them. It was given to me by the clan head as a gift. You may be wondering why I am disclosing this to you" he paused, "Now that I think of it, I should have kept it a secret, Oh well..." he drifted off as he began to mutter something under his breath.
"...Fill with soil and know your own powerlessness" he finished a few seconds later, after which he pointed his palm in their direction. A stream of black energy flew from his hands and surrounded the brothers.
"I wanted to use this against an actual tailed beast to see what it will do, but I guess beggars can't be choosers".
"Yin release: Hadō #90. Kurohitsugi (Black Coffin)"
The black energy suddenly began to rise, taking the form of a black box with multiple spear-like protrusions on its surface.
Naruto clenched his fingers, following his motion all the spears began to pierce the black box simultaneously.
The attack lasted for only a few seconds but when it was over, the blood-covered ground was all that remained in place of the brothers.
Naruto whistled as he observed the bloody ground "That's a powerful technique, it minced them into a paste and I didn't even use it at full power. The book was right, it's too much of an overkill to be used against a normal human".
With his objective completed Naruto moved towards Sakumo to check upon him.
Sakumo and The Raikage had been fighting for quite a while now but neither seemed to have an advantage over the other. Sakumo was fast enough to keep with The Raikage but his attacks were quite ineffective, not being able to pierce the skin more than few millimetres. The Raikage on the other hand would often hit the air as Sakumo would suddenly vanish just before a hit could land.
"This is getting nowhere!" The Raikage exclaimed as he deactivated his lightning armour.
Few meters away from him, Sakumo sheathed one of his Katana "I agree, looks like I'll have to get serious".
"You've read my mind" The Raikage replied as suddenly black lightning erupted from his body.
In response, Sakumo passed chakra through his sword but instead of the usual white glow, it glowed orange-red.
Both of them disappeared and met halfway, clashing their sword and fist together.
The sword easily pierced through the black lightning armour and hit The Raikage's knuckles but it wasn't able to proceed further.
The Raikage raised his other hand and punched in Sakumo's direction, but Sakumo was ready.
"Fuuton(Wind style): Rasengan!"
Sakumo smashed the wind Rasengan into the Raikage's incoming fist, the attack held for several seconds after which it exploded causing both of them to back away from each other.
"Impressive techniques" The Raikage praised "There aren't many who can pierce through my full-powered black lightning armour, let alone injure me when I am using it" he continued as he raised his right arm to show a deep gash on his knuckles, "I believe that was Shakuton(Scorch release) you just used, I thought only Pakura of Sunagakure had that kekkai genkai".
"It wasn't Shakuton" Sakumo replied "Not entirely, It was a mixture of wind and fire nature, concentrated at the blade's edge to exponentially increase the sharpness and the damage dealt by it. I can't use any techniques releated to the actual Scorch release".
"And what about this?" he asked showing him his left arm which was covered in a multitude of cuts and bruises, "Isn't the Rasengan created by your Yondaime how did you come in possession of it".
"His wives were my students, he allowed them to teach it to me" He replied as he held his left hand out and created a Rasengan "Quite an impressive technique really, it requires no hand seal and can be combined with all the chakra nature" He finished, the Rasengan in his hand suddenly began to grow bigger and started to emit a screeching sound, it also generated a shuriken like structure surrounding it "This is a technique Naruto thought me himself".
"Time to end this!" Sakumo exclaimed and began to sprint towards the Raikage.
The Raikage too began to weave through several hand seals to prepare his jutsu, when he finished, four enormous lightning spears surrounded him, all aimed at Sakumo.
"Kuroi Kaminari: Tengoku no Hōtengeki (Black Lightning: Heavenward Halberd)"
"Fuuton: Rasenshuriken (Wind style: Rasenshuriken)"
The attacks met at the centre creating a thunderous roar as they collided. Sakumo pushed the Rasenshuriken with more strength, trying to overcome the lightning spears which were being supported by The Raikage. It took few seconds but he was able to overpower them and thrust the Rasenshuriken in his direction.
Quickly moving back, he observed the attack expand in radius, releasing a loud screeching sound as it moved towards the Raikage. He was unable to see if the Raikage was hit or not because the expanded wind sphere made it impossible for him to see through it.
As the seconds passed and the dust settled down, he was able to see a figure standing at the edge of the crater.
"How's your arm?" Naruto asked, he was standing beside Sakumo, squinting to see what had happened of The Raikage.
Sakumo jerked back in fright at the sudden question, "Holy shi.." he cursed as he tried to calm down, "You scared the hell out of me. Don't sneak beside someone in mid-combat, I was about to decapitate you." he yelled in anger.
Naruto just waved away his concern as he repeated the question "How's your arm?".
Sakumo stayed quiet as he observed the smoke cleared out.
"I told you the risks of using that jutsu when I thought you how to create it, If you are not careful you'll lose your ability to create and mould chakra forever."
"I know" Sakumo finally spoke, "There is some discomfort but nothing I can't handle".
Naruto nodded as he observed Sakumo's hand with his Sharingan, Nodding to himself Naruto continued "Come to me if it persists".
Sakumo nodded, By now the smoke had cleared away, they could see The Raikage standing there holding the stump of his hand to stop the bleeding.
"You told me The Rasenshuriken was a sure kill technique" Sakumo started "So why is he still alive?"
"He forced all of his lightning into his arms to stop the attack from enveloping his entire body, he probably realised he won't be able to stop it entirely so he sacrificed his arm to retreat, but it was already too late for that," Naruto paused as he observed A and Tsuchikage appear near him, "The damage was done, he survived but he won't be able to mould chakra ever again."
Minato and Kushina appeared beside him, observing the scene "They rushed here as soon as they sensed the attack go off".
Following A, Mizukage and Kitsuchi also arrived and stood near The Raikage, discussing something.
The Kazekage dropped from his iron sand near Naruto as he too observed their discussion.
"I took care of the swordsmen" The Kazekage supplied to which Naruto nodded.
"Minato, Sakumo and Kushina, go and retrieve all the swords and other artefacts, then retreat to Shikaku. Sakumo needs some medical attention too, so take care of that as well."
No one argued as they vanished from their spots and did as they were told.
"Let's go" Naruto spoke as he began to walk near them.
Stopping a distance away from them, Naruto asked "Have you decided yet?".
Silence followed but soon after it was The Mizukage who surprisingly took charge and announced.
"We... surrender." He spoke calmly "As I said earlier, I am ready to sacrifice my life for the sake of my village if you promise to-"
"There will be no negotiations" Naruto cut him off "We will take what we want".
The Tsuchikage was about to say something but he was stopped by Kitsuchi, who shook his head and motioned him to be quiet.
"We will be taking your swords, tools and various other things of value. Your Jinchurikis will also be coming with us. I'll be reclaiming all the tailed beasts back to Konoha"
"Surely, you wouldn't..." A interjected.
"This is not a discussion, you have no say in this matter. I am just informing you as a courtesy" Naruto stated.
"Would you like to say something?" Naruto asked The Kazekage, who shook his head in negative.
Naruto turned around and started to walk away, "Our people will be coming to your villages so be prepared."
With his announcement completed, Naruto placed his hand on The Kazekage and disappeared from the scene.
This story will now be on an indefinite hiatus.
