"Kyuubi Speaking"

Speaking

Hiro looked on in shock and anger as the two men's eyes opened and gazed directly at him.
Do we have a way to seal them? Hiro asked worriedly.
"Just make a clone, they can work on the seals while you deal with the Hokage." The Kyuubi explained.
Alright I guess that works, can we try combining our chakra? Hiro asked excitedly.
"Won't that make this too easy?" The Kyuubi said, lazily.
Yeah, but it'll be more fun. Hiro rebutted, Plus, I don't think they're at full power anyway.
The Kyuubi agreed, sitting up from his lazy position of lying down on his side to one where his legs were crossed underneath him. He clapped his hands together and looked to his partner.
"Ready?" The Kyuubi asked expectantly.
Lets jam
Hiro ran his fingers through his hair as his form started to flicker. Eventually his whole body was covered in an intensely bright yellow.
"Ooo that's pretty!" Orochimaru commented, giggling to himself.
Hiro created two clones, and got into a taijutsu stance.

With Jin and co.

The small group jumped through the trees, led along by a small dog.
"They're just up ahead, not much further." Pakkun commented lazily.
The group let out a collective sigh of relief as they were all very nervous for some strange reason.
"We're being followed." Hiro's clone said ominously.
"What!" Ino said worriedly.
"Chill, I'll handle this, the rest of you guys go on ahead." Hiro's clone said calmly.
"How many are there?" Jin asked.
"Nine." Hiro's clone responded.
"How are you gonna be able to take on that many?" Sakura asked, unbelieving, "You're just a clone."
Hiro's clone snorted, "You don't give me enough credit. Nine shinobi is well within my abilities." He stated confidently.
"Good luck." Ino said, smiling at the clone.
"It'll be no big deal especially wi-" Hiro's clone said, before getting cut off by the fact that he was surrounded by a shroud of yellow chakra.
"What!" Sakura said amazed, "What happened to you.
"It seems Hiro is fighting, must be someone strong if he's using that..." Hiro's clone said cryptically, "Well this should be even easier now."
Hiro's clone stopped on the next branch he landed on and watched as the genin jumped by him, "Good luck, I'm gonna dispel after this so Hiro knows what happened."
The gang continued on their way and Hiro's clone turned to face their pursuers. They quickly caught up to him and he jumped to the forest floor to met them.
When he landed he was faced with the nine Sound shinobi, lined up in a semi-circle.
"Yo" He said nonchalantly.
The Sound shinobi seemed unfazed and continued to glare at him with stone cold eyes. Hiro's clone smirked and held up nine fingers in front of him.
"I still haven't perfected this but I think it'll work." Hiro's clone said humorously, before concentrating his chakra just outside his nine fingers.
Quickly the chakra started pooling and after a few seconds Hiro's clone had created nine small black spheres.
"My friend calls this a Tailed Beast Bomb." The clone said, smiling maliciously before facing his fingers outward towards the shinobi, "And I think you'll all enjoy it."
He flared his chakra, sending the orbs out and away from him. They impacted the enemies almost instantaneously, and the result was... messy to say the least.
About half of the Sound ninja were missing their heads, and the rest had massive chunks missing from their bodies. They all lay dead and that was a victory in Hiro's book.
"Those things are strong!" Hiro's clone commented excitedly before dispeling and leaving no trace that he was ever there.

With the OG Hiro
/
Hiro dodged another punch from the First Hokage and sent a punch of his own straight through his chest, sending him skittering backwards and stunned for a few seconds. Almost instantly, the bits of paper that had been blown off the Hokage's body began floating towards him until he was fully regenerated.
Damn these guys don't quite, how's the seal coming? Hiro spoke inwardly to the Kyuubi.
"Almost done, just a few minutes more." The Kyuubi reported.
Hiro returned his thoughts to the battle at hand, and leaped towards the reincarnated First Hokage. He aimed a kick for his head, but the Hokage managed to throw up a block at the last second, though his arm now had a rather large dent in it.
Leaving his opponent no time to recover, Hiro shot a blast of air out of his fist directly at the Hokage, but he sidestepped and clapped his hands together facing Hiro.
Out of the ground shot numerous tree branches aimed at Hiro. Hiro skillfully dodged them as they came, using his hands to vault from one to another. When he neared the top of the barrier the trees started moving and he stopped his ascent on the highest branch.
"Hey, why'd you stop?" Hiro asked, pouting at his opponents abrupt stop. Not expecting an answer he leapt from his perch and thundered down to earth.
Landing where the First Hokage had been the last time Hiro saw him, he looked around to see both Hokage double teaming his clone. The clone was doing everything in his power just to keep them at bay, with his limited amount of chakra, it was all he could do.
Eventually they overpowered him and he was dispelled after a solid punch to the jaw from the First.
Hiro smirked and returned to his inner psyche, Let's try one hundred percent! He spoke to his companion.
"Alright, i'm on board." The Kyuubi answered confidently.
Hiro smirked and concentrated for a few seconds, before his initial yellow shroud of chakra, transformed into a longer coat and he received more black markings throughout his body.
This feels... different. Hiro commented.
The Kyuubi laughed to himself before saying, "We're in perfect sync now, kid, my power I yours and your power is mine."
Hiro smiled to himself, We've come a long way haven't we? He asked his roommate.
The Kyuubi also let out a small grin before returning his attention to the battle, "Focus kid, we're fighting kages here."
Hiro nodded and reopened his eyes, to see that the two former leaders had moved to face him. Not being one to favor awkward pauses he lept into action, turning one into a chakra claw. Using his new found limb he sunk it into the First Hokage, his primary target, and flung him away. Now faced with just the Second he turned to face him, but was hit head on by a tidal wave of water. Bringing his head up for a few seconds, he flung a kunai out, and instantly jumped to it.
With his new vantage point above the newly created sea, he could sea Orochimaru in his same position, overseeing the battle from his perspective and the Third from his.
Hiro flung out another kunai, and it landed right next to the Second. Appearing at it, he engaged the kage in hand-to-hand combat. As they traded blows, Hiro sped up, eventually moving too fast for the other man to deal with. Focusing chakra in his right hand, Hiro duffed the reincarnated being in the face and spun around kicking him in the neck, sending him reeling.
As soon as Hiro brought his foot back down to the ground, his attention was captured by his other opponent. The First Hokage aimed an axe kick for Hiro's head. Hiro intercepted the kick with his forearm, and the kage had no choice but to push off of him and leap backwards.
The First landed lightly and jetted himself forwards, his fist aimed at Hiro. Hiro simply spun around him slammed the heel of his hand against the man's chin and spinning him around until his head was smashed into the ground.
Smiling at his handiwork, Hiro sidestepped a stab from th Second who had pulled out a kunai and proceeded to swipe at Hiro. Hiro stepped to the man, pushing out a dense ball of air chakra into the mans chest pushing him back, before he jumped into the air. Sending more air chakra out of the bottoms of his feet, he propelled towards the silver haired man. Mid-flight, he did a somersault to gain more speed. Reaching his desired destination he planted his heel on the top of the Hokage's head, pushing him, just like his brother, into the roof of the building so that all that was exposed was his upper torso.
Hiro jumped back to a safer location and receded into his mind, Are the seals ready? He asked impatiently.
"Yeah, they've been ready for quite a while." The Kyuubi remarked lazily.
Hiro slapped his forehead, Then why didn't you tell me! He shouted in his mind.
The Kyuubi laughed heartily before replying, "I was enjoying your fight, these guys are much better than anyone you've fought in a while."
Hiro smirked, They were kage for a reason, now give me the seals.
The Kyuubi sighed before agreeing reluctantly. Hiro returned to his current battlefield and waited for his clone to make his way over to him with the seals.
Before he could however, Orochimaru decided to make his move, sending out his creepily long neck, he aimed to dispel Hiro's clone and ruin his progress.
Hiro easily saw this coming and leaped to meet him halfway between his clone and Orochimaru's original position.
"I'm not having this today." He said to the snake man, as he grabbed his neck and spun him around a few times before letting him sail off into the distance.
The clone landed next to Hiro and handed him one of the seals. Hiro hurriedly skittered over to where the Second's body protruded out of the ground and slapped the seal on his forehead as the clone did the same to the First.
The seals seemed to burn into the reincarnated being's bodies and they slowly crumbled in a pile of paper shavings, revealing two carcasses of Sound shinobi.
So that's how they get their life. Hiro spoke to himself before turning to face the Sandaime who had jumped over to meet him.
"That was a great fight, who taught you." He complimented the boy before asking him a simple question.
Hiro smiled nostalgically, "Someone older than you or I." He answered vaguely, before turning to face Orochimaru who had recovered from his previous beating.
"This is your loss Orochimaru, you can't defeat me." Hiro said threateningly.
"It seems you are right, this time Hiro." He spoke, smiling maliciously, "But next time, I'll come with a bigger army, and even more surprises."
"Yeah, just try it old man." Hiro said, turning his back to the villain and waving his hand lazily.
Fool! Orochimaru thought to himself, opening his mouth to pull out a long sword. Holding the sword with his tongue, he sent it out, aimed directly for Hiro's back.
"Look out!" Hiruzen shouted, worried for his young saviour.
Hiro turned around just in time to see the sword hurtling towards him, and as luck would have it, his chakra shroud dispelled as well.
Damn! Why now? He screamed in his mind as he attempted to dodge the blade aimed at ending his life.
He turned just in time, and managed to avoid any injury at all, but the sword was close enough that it caught hold of his scarf.
The sword easily ripped through and Hiro stumbled backwards, feeling naked as the only means to cover his face fell in a shredded heap at his feet.
The Sandaime and Orochimaru looked at Hiro's now revealed face with shock and a realization passed through Hiruzen. That jutsu, and that blonde hair and those blue eyes!
"Hmm, that makes things more interesting." Orochimaru commented excitedly, before turning to his subordinates and giving the sign that it was time to leave.
The barrier went down and the three anbu jumped towards their leader.
Hiro gave the Hokage a glare and said through clenched teeth, "We'll talk later, tell no one." Before disappearing in a small flash of light.
The Hokage was left with a strange feeling as he stared at the spot where the ghost from his past had just been.
