Naruto: The Weapon Master
Chapter 21: The Sannin Battle Royale Plus One
Naruto, Jiraiya and Shizune had finally reached the location where Tsunade was supposed to meet Orochimaru, but came upon an interesting sight. There was a large crater at the center and a major part of the wall was broken.
"What do you suppose happened here Pervy Sage?" asked Naruto as he looked around the demolished area.
"Tsunade has always had a foul temper, Orochimaru must have done something to tick her off from what we're seeing around here," said Jiraiya.
"Then that means she refused the offer which he offered her," said Shizune hopefully.
"That may be so, but we need to find her quickly," said Naruto walked around a bit before seeing something fluttering on a wall, he took a closer look and saw that it was a green vest with the kanji 'Gamble' written on it "Hey guys, I found her jacket,"
"We could track her by following the scent from the jacket, Tonton could you show us the way?" asked Shizune, the pig oinked in affirmation and started sniffing the jacket, she oinked again before taking off.
"Let's go!" Naruto followed after Tonton with Jiraiya and Shizune right behind him.
Meanwhile in a grassy plain with boulders scattered throughout place, many craters could be seen around and a large explosion is heard as we turn to see Tsunade standing in a crater and glaring at Orochimaru and Kabuto who were smirking evilly at her.
"Is this your finale decision Tsunade? This could be your only chance for you to see them again, all you have to do is heal my arms in order to make that possible," said Orochimaru.
"I really want to meet them just one more time from the bottom of my heart, if it was a week ago I would have accepted it. But I've met someone who reminded me of them, they were so much alike and it was because of him that I remembered something that I was too blind with grief to see. They cared about the village and wanted to protect it, a village that you tried to destroy and I'll be damned if you even try to do it again for it will go against their wishes!" said Tsunade.
"Then I guess I'll have to do this the hard way," said Orochimaru.
"You're not the one who has been fighting her Orochimaru-sama. Even though taijutsu isn't one of my strong points, but that doesn't mean I'm weak either," said Kabuto, then he reached into his pouch and took out a small brown pill which he ate.
"That's was a food pill, what does he intend to do?" thought Tsunade, her eyes widened in surprise when she saw him go through a series of handsigns which she is familiar with "For him to perform those handsigns, it must mean that he knows medical ninjutsu too,"
Kabuto's hands were coated with blue chakra as he charged forward to attack Tsunade, she parried the attacks making sure that those hands don't touch any part of her body at all costs. She launched a haymaker punch forcing Kabuto to backpedal as the punch created a crater on the ground then she followed up with a jump kick which was avoided yet again. Tsunade flipped off a nearby boulder and was coming back with a flip kick, then Kabuto blurred out of sight much to her surprise.
"Where did he go?!" Tsunade was about to land when she felt something hit her right arm and leg, she saw Kabuto next to her performed a shoulder barge to knock him away but then she noticed that her arm and leg felt a bit numb "I can't move them so well,"
"I weaken those parts of your body so that you won't be able to unleash your full strength," said Kabuto.
"You're using a chakra scalpel, but why didn't go for the kill by severing an artery or puncturing my heart?" asked Tsunade as she tried to get some feeling back into her arm and leg.
"True but to do that, I would need to very accurate and wield a long blade. Both of which are difficult to accomplish in the heat of battle, but it doesn't matter at the moment," Kabuto charged at her and attacked her again, Tsunade got back to her feet and parried them but her arm and leg are making it very difficult to keep up with him. she went in for a low kick and Kabuto flipped over it and slammed a palm in her chest, causing her to stumble back as she realized that she was beginning to find it very hard to breathe "I can't have you dying just yet, so I doubt that you'll be able to do anything in your current state,"
At that moment, Kabuto sensed movement to his left but was too slow to react as he felt a hard chop to the neck which sent him tumbling along the ground, Orochimaru was standing at a certain distance watching the battle with a frown.
"Kabuto you fool, you underestimated her. She wasn't a member of the Sannin for nothing, that wouldn't have been able to immobilize her," thought Orochimaru.
Kabuto got his knees and was glaring at Tsunade who was gasping for breath "I was too arrogant to think that I had her, I better take this seriously!" he was about to stand up when he noticed that something was wrong with his body. Instead of his legs moving, his shoulders are doing that instead "What's going on? Why is my body not moving the way I wanted it? Could it be?!"
"It seems you have finally noticed, I converted my chakra into electricity and sent it directly into your nervous system therefore completely messing with the coordination of your body," Tsunade went a few handsigns and green aura covered her hand which she placed on her chest "I don't have enough chakra for my healing jutsu, but I have to manage with what I can," suddenly Kabuto got up to his feet and dashed towards her with a kunai drawn much to her shock "That's impossible! He couldn't have recovered so quickly!"
"You thought you had me there for second but it was all for nothing! Let's see how much you would have when you see blood!" soon Kabuto was in front in her with the kunai raised above his head and was about to bring it down.
"Shadow Kick!"
Next thing they knew, a blur of yellow and green came in between them and sent Kabuto flying back but he quickly recovered to his feet. Standing in between them Naruto Uzumaki who had his foot in the air lowering it and looking around with a smirk.
"Sorry if I'm late for the party, but we had to stop for directions," said Naruto, then he felt killing intent from his left and turned to see Orochimaru glaring at him with hatred "Hey snakey, how has life been without your arms? I bet someone had to spoon-feed you or worse yet relieve you of your stress every night,"
Soon Jiraiya landed next to him with a smirk followed closely by Shizune and Tonton "You know, I was wondering the same thing ever since he ran away with his reptilian tail in between his legs,"
"You pesky brat! I'm going to make you pay for what you did to my arms and ruining my plans!" shouted Orochimaru angrily.
"Sounds like an outstanding debt, can you take IOUs?" Naruto turned to face Kabuto "Fancy seeing you here Kabuto, though I shouldn't be surprised,"
"You met this kid before Naruto?" asked Jiraiya.
"Yeah, we met during the Chuunin exams and he said that it was his seventh attempt. But then he quit after the second stage of the exam which really piqued my suspicion that he had an unknown motive,"
"And you were right about that, he was serving as a spy for Orochimaru,"
"Which also means that he was part of the invasion," said Kurama with a frown.
Tsunade brushed past them and rushed at Kabuto "Get of the way! I can handle them myself!" he tried to attack with his kunai but she kicked it off his hands and continued to attack him "I know that you have not fully recovered yet so I'll just have to finish you off before you do!" she kept laying on the pressure as Kabuto continued backpedal until his back hit the side of a boulder, giving him no chance of escape.
"Now to end this!" Tsunade reared her hand back was about to punch Kabuto when he whipped out his hand and splashed something on her face. She reached out to wipe it off and looked at what was on her only to start shaking in fear as she saw what was before her…blood.
"I knew that I couldn't take you down, but now I can since you've been exposed to your weakness," Kabuto reared a fist back and launched it at Tsunade, suddenly Naruto appeared in between them again and used a fist to parry the punch before slamming an open palm in his torso, sending Kabuto back once again.
He heard Tsunade fall to her knees and quickly moved in to check on her as Shizune arrived at his side "Will she be okay?"
Shizune placed Tsunade's jacket over her shoulders before taking out a cloth to wipe the blood off "She'll be fine, though I've never seen her like this. She really shouldn't have to do things by herself, after all it's why I'm here to help her,"
Naruto looked at Tsunade before he got up to face Kabuto "Then do just that while I deal with Kabuto,"
"Okay but be careful, he's strong,"
"You should listen to her Naruto, unlike the opponents you faced before I am much stronger than them while you don't have a chance against me," said Kabuto arrogantly.
"Dude, by saying that. You are insulting a few of my opponents who are much stronger than you. if that's what you think, allow me to showboat a little," Naruto quickly dashed at Kabuto as he crossed the middle and index fingers of each hand "Shadow Clone jutsu!" several clones appeared by his side as they approached their target.
"Come! Show this strength that you're so proud of!" said Kabuto as he took a stance.
"With pleasure!" the clones responded all at the same time. The first clone got close enough and launched a straight punch as Kabuto sidestepped and kneed him in the gut, another came from the right with a palm thrust which was parried but he followed up with a jab, Kabuto caught the fist and tried to throw him but the clone anchored himself to ground with chakra as another clone was coming in from the left. Kabuto whipped out his free hand which splattered blood in his eyes and quickly threw a kunai at it, however the clone had instantly switched to using his other senses the moment he lost his eyesight and heard the kunai whizzing towards him as he quickly rolled on the ground to evade before performing a handspring kick which launched Kabuto into the air.
The original Naruto jumped after him "Bicycle Kicks!" rapidly pedaling his feet to inflict a lot of hits on Kabuto's chest "Flying Kick!" before switching to a powerful flying front kick, sending him tumbling away from him as he landed on the ground with a smirk on his face "Your cockiness had earned you nothing but a kick to the face Kabuto, you better step things up a bit,"
Kabuto got back to his feet and glared at Naruto "I guess that means I'll to get serious about this then," he reached into his pouch and took out a dark red pill.
"I know that pill, it helps the consumer replenish the blood lost," said Shizune.
"Then that means he's a medical ninja," said Jiraiya "I think it's time that we went down to business. Naruto, you take on Kabuto while I have a little chat with my old friend Orochimaru, and Shizune will guard Tsunade,"
"All over it Pervy Sage, let's get this party started!" Naruto punched his fists together.
Orochimaru undid one of the bandages to reveal his rotten hand as Kabuto swiped his blood over the seal and started going through a series of handsigns, Jiraiya caught on and bit his thumb before going through the same handsigns as they both slammed their hands on the ground and called out at the same time.
"Summoning jutsu!"
Seal matrix appeared on the ground and there was a large cloud of smoke, the smoke cleared to reveal Kabuto and Orochimaru standing on a pair of giant snakes. However on Jiraiya's side is a small toad whom Naruto is familiar with.
"Yo Naruto, what's going on man?" asked the toad.
"Actually Gamakichi, Pervy Sage was trying to summon your dad but it seems like his chakra control is still messed up," said Naruto as Jiraiya smacked his forehead in frustration.
"The drug Tsunade-sama made will take a while for the effects wear off so you'll have to manage as it is," said Shizune.
"Then I guess I'll have to fight him as I am," said Jiraiya.

"Let's begin, shall we?" said Orochimaru as the snakes lunged at them.
"Incoming!" they leapt into air right as the snakes smashed the ground which sent rocks flying and created a large cloud of dust. Naruto and Jiraiya were using the flying rocks as stepping stones, he turned to see Kabuto approaching Shizune who was carrying Tsunade "Shizune watch out!" but she was too slow to react as Kabuto dealt a powerful punch which sent them crashing to the ground.
"Naruto look behind you!" Jiraiya called out.
Naruto turned in midair to see a giant snake burst out of the dust cloud with its jaws wide open as it was about chomp down on him "Sorry but Naruto Uzumaki is not on the menu!" he created a shadow clone which grabbed on and threw him away from the jaws "Here's a much better recipe, it called bomb flambé!" He threw a pair of kunai wrapped in explosive tags into the open jaws, and few seconds later there was an explosion which destroyed its guts "Maybe I should have given you the Taco a la boom,"
"Earth style: Dark Swamp!" a large quagmire formed on the ground around the snakes and slowed sank them inside but only enough to prevent them from moving "My chakra control is really messing things up, but at least they're immobilized," said Jiraiya as he landed on one of the snakes and turned to face Orochimaru.
"Get ready old friend," said Orochimaru as he charged at Jiraiya who charged in as well.
Naruto had landed on solid ground and was looking around for Kabuto, then he saw Kabuto fighting Shizune who was using a senbon launcher to keep him away, he evaded the barrage and slammed a chakra coated palm into her chest as she flew back.
"Ninja art: Poison Fog!" she released a purple gas from her mouth which headed towards Kabuto and covered him "That should do it," but then she felt something grab her legs and looked down to see two chakra coated hands holding her legs before falling to the ground and not able to move her feet as Kabuto burst out of the ground.
"You should have kept your guard up," taunted Kabuto, then he quickly jumped back to avoid a punch which formed a crater on the ground to reveal Naruto taking a Shaolin Fist stance "Now to truly show you how below me you are,"
"Given how I knocked you down twice, you'll have to forgive my skepticism," said Naruto, Kabuto frowned as his hands were covered in chakra again.
"Be careful Naruto-sama, from what we've seen that technique seems to function like a scalpel," said Chinami.
"Got it, avoid at all costs. Then I better switch to partial defense," Naruto changed to the Praying Mantis stance as Kabuto dashed towards him and started to parry the fists and strike back with jabs. Kabuto went with a double punch, Naruto quickly stepped forward and used a forearm to deflect the first and a bent elbow to block the second before straightening it to slam into Kabuto's face, causing him to stumble backwards, and not missing a beat Naruto bent his body forward and slammed a double mantis punch into his chest.
"You little brat!" Kabuto charged angrily at Naruto, attacking more ferociously than before. Naruto kept on deflecting the attacks and responded with counterattacks to inflict damage. Kabuto aimed a fist at his neck, Naruto bent his upper body backwards and formed his hand into a claw before grabbing the hand, Kabuto used the other hand and was met with the same method. Naruto twisted the hands, causing Kabuto to cry out in pain then he reared his feet back and drove it up his chin which sent him flying back and used the momentum to flip backwards.
Kabuto struggled to his feet and was looking at Naruto with hatred "How could you be so strong?! I never saw anything like this in the records!"
"Deception is a ninja's greatest tool, don't think you're the only the only one who can pulled the wool over the eyes of others. After all, it's why I'm standing here and you're struggling down there," said Naruto, then he noticed that Kabuto healing quickly much to his surprise.
"He has a heal factor like you," said Kurama who was just as surprised.
"Medical skills and knowledge isn't the only reason why Orochimaru-sama values me, it's also because of my recuperative powers as well," said Kabuto arrogantly.
"Is that so? Then it's a good thing," said Naruto with a smile.
"What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means that I can go all ape on your ass," Naruto crossed his hands before bringing them down to his sides as he triggered his brutality. Kabuto started to shiver a bit as he saw Naruto look at him with a crazed grin and clenching his fists "Pwease do me the honor of being my punching bag and try not to die in the process," then he charged dashed all the while cackling maniacally.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru were still battling on top of the snakes when they felt a sudden pressure and turned to see Naruto charging at Kabuto with a crazed look on his face.
"What did that brat just do to himself?!" said Orochimaru while Jiraiya smiled knowingly.
"That my old friend, is Naruto's brutality. Normally I would explain about it to you, but I think I'll let your lackey explain it himself since he's about to experience it firsthand. So let's say we resume our battle," Jiraiya dashed forward to engage Orochimaru once more.
Kabuto took out two kunai as Naruto approached him, he thrust out one of them and Naruto deflected it with his glove and grabbed the other approaching him then he pulled at it pulling Kabuto in and slammed a headbutt into his. The medic stumbled backwards leaving himself open as Naruto unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks which slowly picked up speed as he kept whaling on him.
Kabuto managed to deflect a punch and lashed out with his own which landed connected with Naruto's face, but Naruto simply shrugged it off as he grabbed Kabuto by the back of the head and drove it into a rising knee so hard that a crack could be heard.
"I'm just getting started!" Naruto reared his fist back and slammed it into Kabuto's chin to launch him into the air before jumping after him "Dive Kicks!" he planted a series of kicks but then they were about to fall back to the ground when Naruto grabbed Kabuto and flipped him into the air. He rapidly punched at his opponent before stopping as he started to spin like a wheel and exiting out of it with a heel raised high "Happy landings!" then he brought it down, sending Kabuto crashing into the ground hard enough to form a crater and landed nearby.
Naruto crouched a bit as he stared at Kabuto who was slowly getting back to his feet with his back to him. he dashed forward when he saw begin to turn around with his fist reared back and coated with chakra to end it "It's over Kabuto!" at that moment, Kabuto had fully turned around but he had a smirk on his face.
"You're open!" Kabuto launched a palm at Naruto's chest while covered with chakra which made contact, causing Naruto to twitch a bit before slumping over. "You were too arrogant with your power and that is the cause of your death,"
Music End
"Naruto!" shouted Shizune as she watched in horror at what happened, Tsunade was quivering in fear as well, and watching him die was reminding her of how Dan and Nawaki died too.
Kabuto turned to Tsunade with an evil smile "Now to deal with you," he was about to approach her when he noticed that something was wrong…he couldn't move his arm, then he heard a voice that wasn't supposed to be heard.
"I had always suspected something since you stopped using that medical technique which was why I made it look like I had charged in recklessly. But lo and behold, you were faking it," Naruto raised his head with a grin on his face.
"But how?! I hit your chest!"
"You did hit something, but you should really need to practice your aim," Naruto looked down with Kabuto following his sight only to be stunned to see that his palm was caught by the wrist only inches from Naruto's chest "Like I said before Kabuto, it's over," Naruto held out his free palm and chakra began to gather around it started to spin rapidly before finally solidifying into a blue spinning orb.
"That jutsu! Could he really have mastered it that short amount?!" said Tsunade as she looked on in shock.
"Rasengan!" Naruto slammed the blue spinning sphere into Kabuto's chest and the sound ninja is violently thrown back across the field until he collided with a large rock. Naruto was expecting him to collapse to the ground but was surprised to see that Kabuto was still standing and saw the part which was grinded from the jutsu was slowly healing itself.
"To be able to heal from your father's jutsu, this boy is really something else," said Kurama.
"I'll admit that technique of yours is powerful, but it will have to take more than that to put me down," said Kabuto as he slowly approached them, then he saw that Naruto was smirking.
"There's a reason why it's an A-ranked jutsu you dummy," no sooner he said that did Kabuto suddenly cough out blood and started to tremble before falling to his knees.
"How can it be?! This level of damage…my chakra won't be enough to heal all of it," said Kabuto as he attempted to stand but to no avail.
Naruto turned back to see Tsunade looking at him in surprise and smirked at her "Looks like you lost a bet eh?" Tsunade still didn't say anything when Shizune cried out without warning
"Tsunade-sama! Watch out!"
She turned and saw Orochimaru heading towards her with the Kusanagi sticking out of his mouth, her fear of blood had completely arrested her mobility as she closed her eyes and awaited for the blade to pierce through her heart. She felt a gust of wind which was followed by the squelching of flesh but felt no pain. She opened her eyes and was welcomed with the sight Naruto standing in between them with the Kusanagi sticking out of his back.
"W-why? Why did you jump in the way?" she asked.
Naruto coughed out blood before turning his head to respond to her "I was asking myself the same question, I'm supposed to be upset with you leaving me behind back then and yet my body moved on its own,"
"Kukukuku, you're just like your father Naruto-kun. Always putting other's lives before yours, such self-sacrificing fools," Orochimaru tried to push the blade further inside, but Naruto grabbed the hilt to hold it back as he turned to glare at Orochimaru.
"Hey snakey….heads up,"
Orochimaru looked up to see a blue spinning sphere before his face as it sent flying away, Naruto fell on his back as the poison from the blade was slowing the healing effect of Kurama's chakra.
"Naru-kun hang on! I'm sending as much chakra as I can!" said Kurama as she concentrated with tears in her eyes.
"Kurama-san please hurry! He's going into cardiac arrest," said Chinami worriedly.
Shizune was healing her legs as fast as she can so that she can reach Naruto and heal him of the poison. She looked up and saw Tsunade still sitting nearby quivering in fear "Tsunade-sama, what are you doing?! Hurry and heal Naruto or he'll die!" Tsunade didn't respond and still sat there not moving an inch, and this made Shizune very angry and do something she never would have done in her entire life…yell at her master "TSUNADE! STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM YOUR SORROWS! YOU ABANDONED NARUTO BACK WHEN HE WAS A CHILD, DON'T RUNAWAY RIGHT NOW WHEN HE NEEDS YOU THE MOST!"
Hearing those words made Tsunade think back to what happened the past week
**Flashback Start**
"To be Hokage is nothing but a fool's game,"
"I'm talking to a drunken old hag who sucks at gambling, runs away from her responsibilities and is a no good coward!"
"The purpose of being Hokage is something one must never take lightly, before it wasn't truly my goal to be Hokage but if it is to protect all who are precious to me, then I shall make it my dream to be Hokage!"
"I doubt he hates you Tsunade, when we first met he beat me up for the same reason and was cold to me for a while. But as time went, he slowly warmed up to me so I'm sure that the same can happen to you,"
"Which is why I want you to think very carefully about this, because your decision could affect not just yourself but others like Naruto. I just hope that you would make the right choice,"
"I'm so sorry for leaving you behind and saying those things, but I promise that I'll try to make things right between us and take care of you like I should have,"
**Flashback End**
"What am I doing? I swore to myself that I would start making things right between us and yet I'm sitting on and ground shaking in fear while my godson is dying before me. I wasn't there for Nawaki and I couldn't save Dan. But I'll be damned to hell if I let you die too!" Tsunade stood to her feet as the trembling stopped completely, and she knelt before Naruto's prone body with her hands over the wound with green chakra and it started to heal rapidly with Kurama's chakra in the mix.
Everyone were stunned including Jiraiya who had tried to prevent Orochimaru from attacking Tsunade but was taken by surprise and slammed to the ground before finally recovering.
"She stopping shaking! Could it be that Tsunade has gotten over her fear of blood?" thought Jiraiya.
Tsunade was completely focused on healing Naruto's wound that she blocked everything out in order to concentrate, then she heard a weak voice.
"I believe you've done enough now,"
She looked to see Naruto looking at her with a small smile as he slowly rose from the ground.
"Naru-kun you're alive! Don't you ever scare us like that again!" shouted Kurama happily with tears of joy, Chinami was also crying too.
"Naruto? Are you okay?" asked Tsunade worriedly.
"I am now, thanks to you. But I believe you owe me a necklace, though I'll save it for after dealing with a certain snake for trying to kill you and stabbing me in the gut, with interest,"
"Are you sure? You're still wounded,"
"Not really, your medical ninjutsu has helped me lot while Ku-chan's chakra was able to get rid of the poison so I'm good to go," Naruto was now on his feet with no problem.
"I see…then in that case," Tsunade bit her thumb and swiped it on her forearm, Naruto smirked as he bit his thumb as well and started going through a set of handsigns.
Jiraiya saw what they intend to do and followed suit "Please work this time,"
"Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto struggled to his knees as Orochimaru leapt over him as he swiped his blood over the tattoo.
They all slammed their palms on the ground as they called out at the same time "Summoning jutsu!" there was a large puff of white smoke before it cleared away to reveal Tsunade standing a giant white slug with a blue stripes running along its body, Jiraiya on Gamabunta, and Orochimaru on a giant purple snake.
However, Naruto was standing on what looks to be an orange tyrannosaurus rex with spikes on the right shoulder and jaw, the tip of its tail is gray and there are blue stripes on its legs, neck and mouth. It also wears a red chest plate, a metallic helmet with three horns on it, a gigantic revolver for a left arm, and also has red mechanical wings with three cannons on each.
"Manda and Orochimaru, Katsuyu and Tsunade, and it looks like Naruto has brought a friend along to witness this long awaited reunion," said Gamabunta after taking a puff from his smoking pipe "Did you bring a hanky Jiraiya? I think I'm going to cry,"
"I didn't summon you after all this time just to listen to your stupid jokes Gama, it's about time for us to end this long rivalry as today's the day we putting Orochimaru out of our misery," said Jiraiya.
"Why you bring me out here Orochimaru? You know that I don't like to being summoned, maybe I should just eat you and be rid of your annoyance," said Manda.
"Please Manda-sama, I assure that you'll be well rewarded for your trouble," said Kabuto in a placating manner.
"Who do you think you're talking to, you little bug? What could the likes of you have that I could possibly want?! Orochimaru, when this is over I expect a hundred human sacrifices from you,"
"This is bad, if he finds out that Orochimaru can't use any of his jutsu then he's likely to betray us. Summoning Manda could possibly be a huge mistake,"
"Katsuyu, I require your aid in this battle," said Tsunade.
"Yes Tsunade-sama," said the Slug.
"Yo Naruto, I was wondering when you were ever going to summon me for a battle bro?" said the new summon.
"Sorry if I kept you waiting RizeGreymon, but it looks like I'll be needing your help in taking down a certain snake," said Naruto.
"Well it's about time, I felt a bit left out when you summoned GeoGreymon for the invasion of your village. But now it's my time to shine," said RizeGreymon with a toothy grin as he cocked his revolver in preparation for the incoming battle.
Manda sneered at Gamabunta "I'm going to enjoy popping you like a balloon, you stinking dirty toad!"
"Then come and try it, I've always been of getting a snakeskin wallet every time I look at you, and now's a good time," Gamabunta put his pipe away and unsheathed his sword a bit.
"You're no longer worthy to be a member of the three Sannin, your evil ways shall be put to an end," said Jiraiya.
"Not worthy to be one of you? I rather find it to be an insult to even be affiliated with the likes of you," said Orochimaru with a dark chuckle.
"After this, there will be one less Sannin in the world," said Tsunade.
"And you're going to pay for attacking the Hidden Leaf village and trying to kill Jiji!" said Naruto with a glare.
Music Change: Metal Gear Rising Revengeance; Rules Of Nature
Katsuyu was the first to move as she charged at Manda, "Acid Slime!" she spat a gloop of brown slimy substance at Manda, the snake quickly slithered around a large rock to evade the slime as it hit the rock before making a beeline towards Katsuyu and Tsunade.
"I'll start with you two first!"
"RizeGreymon, let's go!" said Naruto.
"You got it, bro!" the boosters on RizeGreymon's wings activated as he dashed forward and quickly caught up with Manda as he was about to chomp down on Katsuyu with his long fangs "Take this! Barrel Smash!" RizeGreymon slammed the barrel of his revolver into Manda's head which sent him reeling from the pain.
"Thank you RizeGreymon-san," said Katsuyu.
"Don't mention it," said RizeGreymon.
"Naruto watch out!" Jiraiya called out suddenly.
Naruto turned in confusion "Wha-?" at that moment Manda had recovered from the hit and had swooped in on them, then he wrapped RizeGreymon up in a coil and started to squeeze tightly.
"That hurt you little brats! So I'm going to eat you instead!" Manda opened his mouth and was about to clamp down on them.
"Bunta, help them!" said Jiraiya.
"I know already!" Gamabunta fully unsheathed his tanto and threw it at Manda, but the snake saw the blade heading towards and caught it with his mouth, then he threw it back which forced Gamabunta to jump out of the way of his own blade as it stabbed into the ground.
"Now where was I? Oh yes," Manda turned his attention back to Naruto and RizeGreymon.
"Well if you want something, then I have a recipe that is very spicy!" Naruto took a stance as a red rune with siddha characters surrounded him and flames appeared on his hands "Ninpo: Art of the Inferno!" then he put them together and thrust forwards as he shot a giant fireball that slammed into Manda's face, causing him to roar out in pain and loosen his grip enough for RizeGreymon break out of.
"It seems that the first hit wasn't good enough for you, so let me make it up to you! Barrel Blow!" RizeGreymon slammed the barrel of his revolver into Manda's face once more, only this time it was stronger as the snake was thrown back rather violently "I'm not done yet Trident Revolver!" he flew high into the air before aiming his gun and fired three rounds from it, inflicting serious wounds on Manda.
"Let's heat things up Bunta! Serve up the oil while I bring on the heat!" said Jiraiya as he was going through a set of handsigns.
"You got it!" Gamabunta's cheeks bulged and he reared his head back before bringing it forward to spew brown liquid from his mouth.
"Fire style: Toad Flame Bomb!" Jiraiya launched a blast of flames from his mouth onto the oil which made the flames even larger and stronger as it headed straight towards Manda and engulfed him.
"That should do it,"
"No it was too easy," said Jiraiya, the flames died down only to reveal what looks to be the skin of Manda crumbling away "Just like a snake, he shed his skin," suddenly something burst out of the ground towards Gamabunta who reacted just in time to catch it only to see that it was Manda's tail, then Manda's head burst out the ground from behind Gamabunta with his jaws wide open.
At that moment, a blade pierced through Manda's from above and pinned him down to the ground with Tsunade standing on top of the handle.
"Keep your mouth shut!" said Tsunade.
Orochimaru was glaring at them with hatred "Fighting one Sannin is hard enough, but fighting two along with that brat leaves this battle in their favor," then he launched his tongue at Tsunade and wrapped it around her neck tightly.
"Tsunade!" said Jiraiya worriedly.
"Dammit, I don't have enough chakra to break free!" thought Tsunade as she tried to free herself from the long tongue.
"Kukukuku, I've always wondered what it would be like to wring that pretty neck of yours,"
"Not gonna happen you snake freak!" Naruto slid down RizeGreymon's back and used his tail as a springboard before he dived towards Orochimaru. He channeled chakra to his bracelet and called out "Reborn!" the bracelet glowed and he was wearing the X-gloves with the headphones and orange eye contacts and a tongue of flame appeared on his forehead. The gloves lit up in flames before shooting out as he flew towards them.
He grabbed the tongue, burning it which made Orochimaru let go of Tsunade's neck "Get over here!" he pulled hard on the tongue to bring the snake over to him and landed a fiery haymaker to send him flying away from him. He used the gloves to fly up the handle of the tanto to check on Tsunade "Are you okay?"
"Yeah but I'm far from finished with that bastard," said Tsunade as she breathed in air after almost being suffocated.
"Naruto-sama, I know of a weapon that could help her. I'm sending the information over to you," said Chinami.
Naruto felt the information flow into his mind before speaking up "I have something that will give your punches the extra oomph," he channeled chakra to the bracelet again "RWBY!"
There was a bright glow and it faded to reveal Tsunade wearing a pair of yellow gauntlets which cover her hands and forearms, acting as arm guards. Tsunade was looking at them with surprise and a bit of curiosity "What are they supposed to do?" then she suddenly has images of a woman with long wavy blond hair fighting in a bar with the gauntlets flowing through her mind before snapping back to reality as she smirked before pumping her fists which made a clicking sound from the gauntlets "Well I do now, shall we?"
Naruto smirked back as the gloves lit up in flames again "Ladies first," Tsunade directed the gauntlets behind her and fired dual shots with the recoil launching her forward quickly towards Orochimaru, Naruto followed soon after by also directing the gloves behind him and releasing flames to propel him forward to catch up with her.
Tsunade had arrived before Orochimaru and started to punch him left and right as hard and fast as she could, each time her fists make contact, there will be flashes of light resembling explosions or flames that destroy a part of Orochimaru's clothes each time. Orochimaru jump backwards to avoid the onslaught of attacks. However it was for naught as Tsunade was throwing punches causing the gauntlets to fire red shells that exploded when they hit.
"Switch!" Naruto sped by Tsunade who pumped her fists to get the gauntlets to eject the empty shells, then two rolls of ammo appeared at her hands which she slung into the gauntlets to reload. Now it was Naruto's turn to attack and he started off with rapid fire punches in the torso and switching targets to the face with straight punches and jabs "Gotcha!" and continued to punch him in the face repeatedly before being thrown back by a more powerful one. Naruto was about to continue when an image of the previous owner taking a stance with one of his hands bearing a gauntlet with a roman number one on it as he dashed forward to punch an opponent with it.
"I see, so that's what you want me to do. Cambio Forma: Modo Atacco- Mitena di Vongola Primo!" his right hand lit up in flames before fading a little to reveal the gauntlet that he saw in the vision, then Tsunade appeared next to him.
"Let's finish him off," Tsunade channeled chakra to the left gauntlet and a click could be heard from it, Naruto nodded in affirmation as he stood beside her before they dashed towards with their fists cocked back.
"Give my regards to hell Orochimaru!"
"It's lights out for you! Big Bang Axle!"
They launched their fists forward and smashed them into Orochimaru's face which resulted in combination of explosion and flames. Orochimaru flew out of the fiery explosion to crash into the handle of the blade fall on top of Manda with his upper body charred and battered
Music End
Kabuto was speechless as he crawled over to the prone form of Orochimaru "He took the full power of those attacks without putting up any kind of defense,"
"It's over now," said Jiraiya.
"Yeah," said Gamabunta.
"Grrr, I should eat you both for your incompetence. Unfortunately, I have a hole in my mouth," said Manda "If we meet again, well you better hope that we don't," then he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
RizeGreymon simply scoffed "What a sore loser, I'll catch you later Naruto. I can't to tell to tell everyone my story, especially little Koromon,"
"Okay RizeGreymon, see ya," said Naruto, RizeGreymon nodded before disappearing as well. Then he turned and was surprised to see Orochimaru still standing although looking battered.
"How could he still live from taking those attack from you and Tsunade?! Anyone else would have died even from the impact!" said Kurama in shock.
"So Tsunade, you refuse to heal my arms. Well it doesn't matter anymore as I have another way and I will destroy the village, you can count on it!" Orochimaru raised his head to show a part of his face torn to reveal another underneath it.
"What the hell did this guy do to himself?!" thought Naruto as he watched with shock.
Tsunade looked stunned "You meant that forbidden jutsu don't you?"
"That's explains everything, he's been shifting into the bodies of others," thought Jiraiya with a frown.
"Yes and the next time that we meet, I'll show you what it means to be an immortal," Orochimaru slowly sank to the ground with a dark chuckle and disappeared with Kabuto following suit with a Body Flicker. Jiraiya wanted to go after them, but the effects of the drug and battle wounds prevent him from doing so.
"Now that it's over for now, let's head back into town to recover from our wounds," said Jiraiya, receiving nods from everyone as they began their trek back into town.
The next day, the group met up at the same bar for a discussion where Tsunade made a statement.
"I have come to a decision… I decided to take on the job of being Hokage," said Tsunade, everyone was stunned upon what she said although Naruto simply quirked an eyebrow.
"What's the matter Naruto? Is something bothering you?" asked Jiraiya.
"Quite a bit, Pervy Sage. I know Jiji and the elders said that she is the right one for the job, but from what I've seen she's drinks a lot, bad with money, and totally sucks at gambling. It makes me worry about the financial status of the village, and who says she won't run away again?" said Naruto.
At that moment, Tsunade with many ticks marks stood up from her chair and was glaring at Naruto "You wanna take outside you little brat?!"
"Whatever you say,"
Jiraiya simply rubbed his head "Here we go again,"
Outside the bar, Naruto and Tsunade were facing each once again on the street with Jiraiya, Shizune, Tonton and Tora watching from the side.
"I may have flaws, but that doesn't mean that I'll misuse the power of the Hokage and I'll prove it to you. Normally I would be toying with you, but now I'm going to take you seriously," said Tsunade.
"I hope so, because the village needs to be watched over until I become Hokage which will eventually happen," said Naruto as he took a stance while Tsunade simply stood ready.
Then he dashed forward and threw a punch which Tsunade caught with an open palm, she was about to throw him when he opened his palm to drop a small black pellet to the ground to release a smokescreen. Tsunade jumped away from the smoke before sensing something approaching from behind, she turned around to see Naruto descending towards her from the air.
Tsunade got ready for whatever he was about to do, but was totally unprepared for what he did next…. He engulfed her in a warm hug. Naruto pulled back with a bright smile on his face "I was just teasing you earlier, let's go home Daibo (Godmother),"
Tsunade was still stunned before she smiled happily and hugged him back "Let's Nadzuke-ko (Godson),"
The others were smiling as they went to get ready for the journey back to the Hidden Leaf village.

Going out with a bang
Naruto stood before Kabuto who was stumbling around a bit and looking dazed. "Now to finish you!" he took out a scroll from his ninja pouch, then he dashed towards Kabuto and started around him in circles so quickly that he looked like a whirlwind. He finally stopped running and stepped away to reveal Kabuto seemly hugging a giant rocket with a very long fuse.
"I knew that rocket and super would come in handy," said Naruto as he watched Kabuto try to get off the rocket "Alright four eyes this is how we're gonna do this, if you're able to put out the fuse before it reaches the rocket and lights you up like a Christmas tree, then I'll let you," Naruto channeled fire chakra to his index finger and lit up the fuse "Ready go!"
The fuse was slowly sizzling towards the rocket as Kabuto was doing everything he can to detach from it but to no avail, when it drew close he started blowing at it to try and put it out but it was inching closer.
Shizune walked up to Naruto and stood to watch "Doesn't he know that would only make the fuse burn faster?" Naruto simply shrugged his shoulder as they watched the rocket light up before launching high into the air with Kabuto screaming before exploding in sparkles of light.
"TAMAYAA! KAGIYAAA!" Naruto and Shizune shouted as they watched the fireworks.
A Bad day to be a man
"Let's finish this," said Tsunade as she stood next to Naruto before Orochimaru.
"Yeah," said Naruto.
Both charged at the snake and when they got to him, Naruto slammed his fist into Orochimaru's face while Tsunade aimed somewhere else…she slammed her fist at the sun doesn't shine and there a loud bang followed by an explosion and a girlish scream as the males including Manda, Gamabunta and RizeGreymon winced at what they saw while Tsunade was smiling in self-satisfaction.
"A fellow male has just lost what it means to be a man, even for someone like him," said Naruto with a salute, followed by the other males with hands or appendages while Tsunade simply scoffed.
"Oh please, it's not like he was going to make use of it it's not a loss from my point of view,"
"When you put it that way, you have a good point there," said Jiraiya.
"You're right, it was neither a loss nor a gain," said Naruto.
"Aren't you fools making light of my situation?" Orochimaru barely squeaked out.
"EHHH," was the collective voices of everyone around.
