Chapter 22: The Fight Begins
Tsunade faced Akumi… she knew that Akumi much like her great grandfather was a skilled medic ninja…she could tell…
"So are you going to fight?" said Akumi.
"I am…" said Tsunade.
The two ran towards each other preparing for a strike, Tsunade managed to punch Akumi in the gut before Akumi could touch her.
"You know your grand father and I fought many times…" said Tsunade, "You probably have the exact same fighting style!"
"Your wrong…" said Akumi getting up.
She disappeared right behind Tsunade, "LDT, it allows me to teleport where ever…" said Akumi.
"Isn't that a little dangerous… you don't know where your going?" asked Tsunade.
"Part of it allow me to memorize people chakra signatures and home in on them if I need to." Said Akumi.
"What are the other ones?" asked Tsunade.
"That will wait for another time." Said Akumi who was about to strike Tsunade who dodged.
"This just like fighting the forth Hokage…" said Tsunade.
"But more advanced." Said Akumi, "Not to mention my Chakra Scalpels…"
"She's right this is going to be a tough one…" thought Tsunade.
Meanwhile with Luffy and Ace…
Luffy sat there watching the battle… Ace and the really sad sound ninja stood across from each other.
"Time to start!" yelled the ninja, "I'm going to what what in you butt!"
The sound ninja aimed an attack for Ace butt.
"What!" yelled Ace who then dodged the attack.
The sound ninja then aimed another attack, "Oh come on! I heard your name is Ace I bet you have a friend named Gary."
"Your sick and crazy!" yelled Ace.
"Am I, sure I was born and raised in the series of lairs also known as the village hidden in the Sound… but I think a lot of us Sound Ninjas are all crazy!" yelled the ninja who began to laugh in a crazy way.
"He's weird." Said Luffy.
"His ancestor might have been an experiment of Orochimaru's." said Ace with a sweat drop.
Meanwhile with Nami and Sanji… both of them continued covered their ears because of the pain.
"What are we going to do?" thought Nami, "That's it!"
That's when she remembered one of the moves she learned in her past life as Sakura. Nami mange dot jump into the air and deliver a harsh kick to the ground… also known as Painful Sky leg… although she miss the sound ninja it made her stop… and twitch in fear as there was gigantic crack in the ground.
"Okay… you're Haruno Sakura's reincarnation, right? Wasn't she the one who was able to send her soul into other peoples bodies?" asked the sound ninja.
"No that was Yamanaka Ino." Said Nami with a sweat drop.
"Wait… I thought she was the weapons mistress." Said the ninja.
"No that's Tenten." Said Nami with an even bigger sweat drop.
"Wait I thought Tenten was the one with Byakugan." Said the ninja.
"No that Hyuga Hinata." Said Nami.
"Wait I thought she was the one that was Tsunade's apprentice and was taught how to control Charka to such an extent that she too had super strength." Said the sound ninja.
"No… that was Sakura." Said Nami.
"And you're her reincarnation." Said the sound ninja.
"Yeah." Said Nami.
"Oh…. Well… heheh… well fuck me." Said the sound ninja.
Meanwhile with Zoro and Tashegi, the ninja swordsman and his clones aimed attacks at the two and the marine captain.
"Who are you?" demanded Smoker.
"Why the hell would you know… you not one of 16 reincarnations! You're just a bystander how got in the middle of this fight!" said one of the clones.
"16 reincarnations?" thought Smoker.
Both Zoro and Tashegi managed to get though the clones.
"I have idea Zoro… we just need to find the real one." Said Tashegi.
"Wait… you're thinking..." said Zoro, "Got it!"
The two of them began to take out the shadow clones, Smoker did nothing but just watched the fight, silently wondering what was going on… that's when there were two left.
"You'll never guess which one is the real one!" laughed both the real one and the clone.
That's when the ninja found he couldn't move… "What's going on?" he thought, his eyes drifted down and he gasped at what he saw… stretching out from under Zoro was his shadow that was stitched to his own shadow.
"Damn it…" thought the ninja.
Back with Tsunade's fight the two both began to use chakra scalpels, however Akumi was doing a much better time avoiding.
"So one of the Legendary Immortal Sanin is having a problem with little old me." Said Akumi with a laugh.
"I haven't even gotten started yet." Said Tsunade aiming a kick for Akumi who teleported away.
"My… I would have thought you would be much better… I guess you really are old… even if you permanently in you're late teens or early twenties." Said Akumi with an evil laugh.
"So what are you planning to do with Rebellion and Crocodile?" asked Tsunade.
"It depends… how well our plans go." Said Akumi, "If Crocodile mangos to kill one of you then he will live but if he fails then he will die… Lord Orochimaru has two of Crocodile's henchmen already under his thumb."
"I see…" said Tsunade.
That's when something began to glow in Akumi's pocket.
"Interesting… so the clean up has began." Said Akumi.
"What are you talking about?" asked Tsunade.
"Let's just say there was a bit of a distraction with some of these fights!" said Akumi with an evil laugh.
That's when Tsunade turned around and saw a generic sound ninja use an unfamiliar series of hand signs that's when Tsunade began to get dizzy.
"The Knock Out Jutsu, a recent development, though it need a new name in my opinion… I'm sure your old friend will explain it to you later." Said Akumi.
That's when Tsunade passed out.
"I hope the others are having an easy time as well." Said Akumi with an evil smirk.
Elsewhere with Luffy and Ace… the pathetic ninja stopped his attacks.
"So it's already time…" said the ninja.
"What are you talking about?" asked Ace.
That's when another generic ninja appeared and used the same series of hand signs… which knocked both brothers.
Back with Nami and Sanji, the ninja looked scared out her mind and hasn't moved since given then news that she had no idea who the female ninja of Leaf 12 were, while Sanji was admiring how amazing Nami was… that's when something began to glow as well.
"Good… it's almost over." Sighed the ninja.
"What are you talking about?" asked Nami.
That's when a generic ninja appeared and used the same series of hand signs and both of then collapsed.
With Tashegi and Zoro, the sound swordsman was just smiling.
"I know that you're figure what to do with me but right now you're in a bad position." Said the sound swordsman.
"What are you talking about?" asked Zoro.
That's when the generic ninja appeared and used the hand signs knocking not only the to reincarnated ninja, but also Smoker as well.
"What are we going to with him?" asked the generic ninja.
"Take him with the others, he's a marine so it might be a good idea get rid of him for the sake of our allies." Said the sound swordsman.
Meanwhile with Vivi and Kohza the two continued to search for Tsunade.
That's when Kohza stopped…
"What is it?" asked Vivi.
"Someone's coming." Said Kohza.
That's when the generic ninja showed up and did the hand signs… both of them passed out.
Elsewhere in city, Ginta and Chopper's group met up as well as Usopp and Kaya's group.
"So have you found Tsunade?" asked Chopper.
"No…" said Usopp.
That's when the two reincarnated ninjas all got a bad feeling.
"What is it?" asked Chopper.
"I think the others were just kidnapped." Said Ginta.
"So you have that feeling too." Said Usopp.
"No!" cried Chopper who began run around in circles.
And so most of the Straw Hats were captured… but who knew what would happen with the captives only that whatever would happen is bad.
Next Time: Most of the reincarnated ninjas were captured by Baroque Works and Sound... Orochimaru asks Tsunade about the Jutsu that made her and Jiraiya immortal. While this is happening, Crocodile realizes that Orochimaru is more in control with the situation than he is. Meanwhile Usopp comes up with a plan to rescue the others... but will it work? Find out next time!
