Jumping to the side, Kakashi uses a water clone to propel it into the air and attacks the huge creature with his sword while Obito makes some hand seals. However, the Behemoth deflects and counterattacks the gray one.
However, Obito attacks.
- Katon: Gouka Mekkyaku!
Taking a deep breath and kneading chakra into his body, Obito spits out a massive wall of intense flames that advanced rapidly towards the Behemoth.
The creature didn't dodge, but canceled its attack and prepared to absorb all that chakra with its body.
However, the Behemoth was surprised when the wall of fire simply disappeared in a cloud of smoke, and a huge green arm in armor attacked it with a drill-shaped sword spear.
In pure reflex, the creature tries to dodge. However, above it, Minato violently struck it with two huge rasengans with natural energy, preventing the creature from moving by throwing it back to the ground.
Roaring, the Behemoth concentrates chakra all over its body and starts spinning violently, throwing debris, rocks and pieces of trees towards the ninjas, who dodged or defended themselves.
Concentrating chakra in its paws, the Behemoth leapt upwards as it spun, and a hailstorm of massive chakra spheres was spat in their direction.
Shisui undid his Susano'o and began dodging the spheres as fast as he could, as did the others.
Minato, while dodging, began to concentrate a large amount of chakra in his hands, and soon, threw large blades of wind that, while not cutting the massive chakra spheres, caused them to explode while still in the air.
The Behemoth, seeing that he had no success in hitting them, cancels his attack and lets his body fall to the ground. Soon, a chakra dome formed around him, and a huge amount of energy emanated from his body.
Minato and the others were surprised by the amount of chakra that creature was concentrating, it was as if entire ninja villages were concentrating to attack together.
Before any of them could do anything, the Behemoth spat out a constant beam of chakra onto the ground. This beam branched out innumerable times, and soon, more and more chakra beams were emerging from the dirt, heading towards them.
The beams were fast, and both Kakashi and Obito had to seek cover inside Shisui's Susano'o, who began to rotate his sword lance, dissipating all the beams he couldn't dodge.
Minato dodged skillfully, but he had to do something fast. In that forest, with all that natural energy, the Behemoth had as much chakra as he wanted.
The beams stopped following them, and the ground began to glow, the air became hotter.
The ground began to crack, almost as if it were melting. The trees were sucked into the enormous energy concentrated in the ground. The Behemoth's body glowed in intensity, and Minato gritted his teeth as he felt the power emanating from his body.
Throwing several Kunais on the ground, he leaves one in his mouth and slaps his hands together, concentrating a huge amount of chakra, just in time to see the huge sphere advancing towards them.
It wasn't like the previous spheres, lightning surrounded it, its color was purple, the noise it made was something Minato had never heard before, and wherever it passed, even if it didn't necessarily touch the ground, it left a trail of destruction.
Shisui jumped with the others toward Minato, and they all watched with wide eyes as the huge sphere advanced toward them. For a moment, they even thought it would hit them.
But as soon as the sphere got close enough, it was as if it was sucked into the ground right in front of Minato. Everything went silent, and even the Behemoth, for a few moments, was confused.
Soon, a strong tremor happened, almost like a powerful earthquake. The sound of a huge explosion echoed in the distance, an explosion so strong and destructive that its power could be felt by all of them. The sky turned white for a few moments, and the impact of the explosion destroyed trees everywhere it went.
Minato stared at the impact area of the explosion with a neutral countenance.
"As strong as the three-tailed Bijuu dama, hm."
Suddenly, the Behemoth moves toward him, just as fast as before, and attacks him with its tail. Minato manages to dodge it, but the impact area of the movement was so large, and the attack so strong, that he is thrown violently backwards, destroying some of the trees that managed to stay standing with all that destruction.
Soon, the creature turns towards the other three, and that's when Kakashi and Obito attacked.
They both concentrated their energy, closed their eyes momentarily, and soon, a greenish energy began to surround their bodies after a small vacuum explosion.
The two advanced quickly towards the Behemoth, which tried to attack them, but they dodged, Obito jumping on top, and Kakashi underneath.
Obito punches the air, and the strong gust of vacuum in mixture with the energy of the open gate caused the Behemoth to regrow its paw and roar as it was hit.
Soon after, it was Kakashi, who did the same, but with a kick, hitting a strong gust of air in the Behemoth's stomach, which contracted some more.
They both started circling the creature, launching several powerful bursts of air while jumping at an incredible speed, until the two jumped up high, used clones to propel them downward, and pulled their air pressure fists back, hitting the Behemoth's head extremely fast.
A large explosion of compressed air occurred, so strong that it was able to leave the Behemoth temporarily stunned.
Minato then quickly moved forward with a powerful, but small, rasengan sphere, and since that creature's body was too tough, he chose to hit it in the eye.
A concentrated chakra blast happened, and the Behemoth roared just as loudly as before, leaping back to recover.
However, Shisui acted quickly, and with his Susano'o, attacked. He jumped towards the Behemoth and attacked it with his sword spear, and although the creature managed to block the attack with its tail, the force behind the blow was enough to send it violently to the ground.
Still in the air, Shisui opened the rib cage of his Susano'o and a flurry of green chakra needles were launched towards the Behemoth.
The needles stuck into its body, and even parts of its mouth, without the creature being able to suck out that chakra.
Concentrating chakra in its tail, the Behemoth makes a wind-cutting blade that destroys the entire surrounding area while spitting a chakra sphere towards Shisui, who dodged it.
The Behemoth then advanced in the blink of an eye towards Obito and Kakashi, at such a great speed that they both almost didn't notice. If it hadn't been for Obito's activated Sharingan, they would have been caught by his attack.
Turning quickly, Obito violently punched the air, launching a powerful gust of wind and moving away from there together with Kakashi, who as soon as he moved away, jumped on top of the Behemoth and started to punch the air violently.
A hail of vacuum bursts hit the Behemoth, which protected itself as best it could.
Minato then concentrated natural energy throughout his body, and a bluish chakra with pigmentations in green surrounded his body.
With his speed, he launches himself towards the creature, and in a single swift and precise movement, cuts off its tail.
The creature roars in pain and anger, and explodes its chakra out of its body, forming a crater below it, but they manage to get away in time.
- Argh, damn... I don't know how Guy manages to keep it activated for so long.
Kakashi grumbled, feeling his body heavy as that green energy slowly receded into his body.
- Man, tell me about it.
His friend also grumbled, being in a similar state to Kakashi.
The Behemoth then concentrated once again, chakra in his mouth and spat out another sphere towards Minato.
However, Shisui jumped in front of him and, opening the chest of his Susano'o, began to suck the sphere into himself.
The sphere of chakra entered Susano'o's huge body, and he gritted his teeth as he shaped that huge amount of energy. His megazord glowed green, the ground below him broke and blood dripped from his eye.
Soon, Shisui hurled the chakra sphere, which now had a greenish coloration, towards the Behemoth, who tried to dodge it.
However, Minato made several clones with rasengans and hit the Behemoth on its back, forcing it to stay in place.
The chakra sphere hit the huge creature, which roared from the impact. A large explosion occurred, and everyone felt it as that purple energy surrounding the creature's body receded.
The four of them surrounded the Behemoth, which was still in the center of the smoke cloud.
The creature tried to attack Kakashi with its paw, however, the gray one jumped up and raised his sword, concentrating a huge amount of chakra on the blade, and stabbing it into the Behemoth's paw, pinning it to the ground.
Soon after, Obito also attacked, and concentrating chakra, he slams his hands into the ground. The ground below the creature's lower body sank, and the Behemoth found itself trapped in the mud that received constant chakra from Obito, making it even more powerful.
Then it was Shisui's turn, and with his Susano'o, he thrust his sword spear into the Behemoth's back, going through its entire body until it hit Obito's ground.
The Behemoth roared, a roar mixed with blood dripping from his mouth and from his wound. This wound didn't stop him from concentrating chakra in his mouth, but it didn't help much, since it was Minato's turn.
Creating some more clones, he threw a huge amount of Kunais around the Behemoth's body, and before these Kunais could even get stuck on the ground or get lost in Obito's mud, he teleported to each one of them with the nature chakra still surrounding his body.
Quick, precise and lethal movements, to the point of cutting the Behemoth's body in several parts, and finishing with its head.
Minato undid his jutsu and stood up, feeling a little groggy from all that chakra spent, but it was worth it. As he turned around, he could see the Behemoth's head slowly detach itself from its body and fall to the ground.
The man tried to protect himself from the next attack with his sword, but his eyes widened as Naruto's fist broke his blade, and once again, he felt his body being violently thrown backwards.
Still in the air, Naruto strikes again, leaping upwards and falling right on the stomach of the man, who spits out a certain amount of blood and feels the air being expelled from his lungs.
Grabbing him by the neck, Naruto begins to punch him violently, and with each punch, the man's body sinks and the ground cracks.
At one point, his body liquefies, and he tries to escape. However, Naruto slams his hand on the ground and spreads his Bijuu chakra all over the area, forcing the man back to his human phase.
- Whoa, wait, wai-
He was interrupted by a punch from the boy in his abdomen, and he was once again thrown backwards.
Naruto clones appeared around him.
The first clone kicked him in the back, the second caught him by the neck while the other two focused on violently kicking his back as well as his abdomen and chest, until finally, the original one hit him with a rasengan to his stomach.
The man spat out a large amount of blood as he was violently thrown backwards, destroying some trees as he "flew" until he crashed into a huge rock and fell to the ground.
He groaned as he tried to get up and coughed up some blood as he crawled.
- Aaaargh... what... shit... I underestimated the boy... and got my ass kicked.
He spat out some more blood and a tooth as he leaned his back against the rock.
- Fuck... worst of all... ah fuck... I'd rather take more of a beating than admit Juugo was right.
He stared at Naruto who was approaching at a heavy pace, but in no hurry. His red eye glowed in the darkness, and that red energy emanating from his body only made him more menacing.
- Heh... haha, Orochimaru mentioned... that demi-humans were incredibly strong, even as children... hahahah, if I had listened to him... I would have taken Zabuza's sword... and then you would be...
- I told you to shut up.
Naruto stomped hard on his abdomen, and propped his elbow on his knee.
- Ouch, ow ow ow... mango, mango.
-... What?
- That's my lucky word, hehe.
The boy sighed.
- How did you find out where we were? How did you get here? How did you realize who I was?
- Hey, do I have the right to an attorney?
Naruto frowned.
- Ah, I guess not... well, when... Juugo mentioned you... Orochimaru got excited... more than he has been in years, maybe decades, haha... and since Juugo was, ahm... unstable... he asked me to capture him... or at least get more information...
He wiped some of the blood that dripped from his face.
- So... can I leave now?
-... You didn't answer my question.
- Oh, come on, how could I have missed it? A boy with a scar over his eye, a ring, traveling with a girl, hehe... the rest is just details... come on, you're not a murderer, are you? I mean, I think even Juugo would go easy on you, being a kid and all.
The boy arched an eyebrow.
- take it easy? They torture me.
He said, almost in a growl.
-*...* Oh... yeah... I guess Juugo doesn't give a shit... jerk as usual, but look, I wouldn't do that to a kid... actually, to anyone. This torture stuff is not my thing.
- If I let you go, you will come after us again. Even if you're somehow decent, which I doubt, I think you understand that I can't risk it.
Naruto raised his hand and created a yellow rasengan with red details, and the man swallowed dryly.
- Look, look, wait, even if you kill me... the others come after you... we-we are too many, you know... it's been... years of recruiting... and there's no way Orochimaru will let you just run away.
Naruto looked thoughtful for a while, sighing as he heard Tayuya's footsteps approaching.
- Na... menma!
She ran to his side, staring at the man with a frown.
- Ah, haha, hello beautiful lady... gee, if I'd seen you before, I wouldn't have attacked... short hair, my type.
- Fuck you!
- Uuuhhh, you're the tough type... even better.
Naruto stomped harder on his abdomen, and he groaned in pain.
- I have no patience with you. You have the nerve to ask me to leave you alive when you killed all those people who had nothing to do with you or me.
The boy leaned his body forward, bringing his face closer and staring deep into the man's purple eyes.
- Hey, hey, it's not my fault they were weak.
Naruto growled and grabbed him by the neck, concentrating a large amount of chakra in his free hand.
- I mean... let's... let's just...put that they were unlucky... they were in the wrong place... at the wrong time... ow... wrong... with the wrong people... it's as much your fault... as it is mine.
Naruto shook his head and acted to kill him. However, before he could, he was forced to let go of the man and jump backwards, dodging a powerful blow.
As he looked at who, or rather, what had attacked him, he arched an eyebrow when he saw a red and silver scythe connected by a chain that had been stuck in the ground, but was soon pulled aside.
It was then that he felt some chakras, one in particular extremely powerful, and heard his heartbeat.
- Ah, haha, hahahah, fuck... finally... fuck...
- Oe, Suigetsu, didn't you say you would take care of them yourself? What a pathetic sight.
A red-headed woman with glasses appeared, she was wearing a small purple blouse that showed her belly and short shorts, she was strong, but nothing that Naruto really had to worry about. The real problem was who was accompanying her.
A tall man with red eyes and dark gray hair combed back was walking calmly beside her holding that scythe. He wore a black cloak with red clouds, and despite his appearance, he was extremely strong.
- The next time you go out alone like that, I'll kill you myself.
- Wow, that's scary, Hidan. Come on, how about you stop humiliating me and help me out here?
- Argh, you lost to two children? Really, a wimp.
The woman said.
- Shut up, Karim. This kid... is much stronger than I thought... I think you can feel... this scary red energy... gee, I thought I was gonna die.
Naruto and Tayuya slowly backed away, they both knew they had no chance... not against that man with the scythe, who was staring at Naruto.
- Hm... I can understand why that snake wants this boy so bad... I thought he had gone crazy, but... a demi-human, who knew.
"Kurama, what do we do?"
"Hey, isn't it obvious?"
"What?"
"Use my chakra, and run, in your current state, you don't have much of a chance. Maybe if that guy wasn't here, who knows, but with all these people, no way."
Grumbling, Naruto creates dozens of clones and picks Tayuya up in his lap, jumping away as the clones strike the ground.
