Yo-yo! Before we get this started, I don't exactly feel like I've managed to completely give justice to this part, but I tried at least. There's something big coming up soon, so stay tuned. Anyway, let's go!
Super hero time!
Ex-aid: Game on! This gashat is ninja storm Naruto!
Naruto: Gokai change! Eeex-aid!
Ex-aid: That kid looks a little down.
Naruto: Don't worry, I've got this!
E-a + N: Game start! Showtime!
"So tell me, what news do you bring that would have you return so late?" A gruff voice asked, the ma polishing the gigantic blade with slow careful movements. Zabuza Momochi, renowned as one of the seven swordsmen of Kiri, was a well-known and very much feared Nuke nin. Forged in the blood of over one hundred different academy students before he even joined, he would grow from that tender age into a formidable Kirigakure shinobi branded as the demon of the hidden mist. Wielding the powerful blade Kubikiribocho, thought to only require a single attack to effortlessly decapitate an enemy, Zabuza utilised his silent killing to build a name for himself across the world.
"The main builder of the bridge has managed to acquire a group of shinobi, rank unclear, who defeated the demon brothers with relative ease. If it weren't for their youthful appearances, I may have them as chunin to low jonin level." A young ninja replied, clad in a pink kimono and a white mask reminiscent of those used by hunter nin, with a voice androgynous and monotonous. In response, Zabuza let out a harsh laugh, standing to full height which, with the Kubikiribocho, made for a highly intimidating appearance.
"I would've fought you of all people would know that age makes no difference when it comes to strength, especially after being around me for so long." The kiri nin remarked, leaning on his blade. "I've heard of entire wars fought using only children. Maybe we need some correctional training Haku; to think that you were to slow to alert me and I wasn't able to sense them when they were enhancing their speed."
"Of course Zabuza-sama. I shall try my best to become worthy of you respect." Haku stated with a bow, raising after a moment. "However, I don't believe that they were using chakra to increase their speed. They were hired from Konoha, which do not teach many high speed techniques or flight." That last part was enough to catch Zabuza's attention, who would've raised his eye brow if it hadn't been shaved off.
"Wait, you never mentioned any flying nin before? How lax are you getting?" he mocked, pushing the young ninja on the shoulder.
"My greatest apologies Zabuza-sama. Two of them were able to access strange clothing that granted them wings to use while the other two gained immense speed. They used this to travel past you." Haku explained, not looking up lest he fall into the judging eyes of their master. Ever since they were young and their family was murdered in cold blood for their bloodline that allowed them mastery over one of the elements, Haku had to face the cold harsh realities of the world until Zabuza made the offer to allow them the child to travel with him under the belief that they had the 'same eyes'.
"So they wear clothes for strange abilities… That is certainly not something I've heard of before." The swordsman mused, until they were interrupted by the door suddenly being forced open, an irate Gato stood with his two 'samurai' bodyguards.
Gato was a despicable man, short and squat like the epitome of every stereotypical rich man. Those glasses hid the mind of a manipulator, one that held no qualms over squeezing the last penny out of anyone he deemed it suitable to do so while he wore a deceptively inviting smile. The two at his side were just a pair of the many mercenaries he had hired for a miniscule amount and a doubt never crossed Zabuza's mind that the two had flunked out of the strict training given in the land of steel to become proper samurai, being attracted to the idea of being seen as samurai with Gato.
"Zabuza! Why on earth has Tazuna gotten his hands on a bunch of ninja!?" the company owner spat out with an irate wave. "I thought I specifically told you to kill anyone that man hires! Don't you understand that any ninja can give hope to those people!?"
"Well I just wasn't ready at that time thanks to my friend." Zabuza retorted with a much calmer voice. "Now that I actually know what the hell I'm dealing with, I can deal with them properly, which I was about to do before you barged in here like some sort of bull."
"Now, that's no way to speak to me! Do you forget just who's paying you?" Gato snarled in anger, impatiently tapping his foot while Zabuza let out a guffaw.
"Like hell you're paying us anything! Maybe we would get something done if you gave us something!" the demon of the hidden mist scoffed, Gato snapping his fingers to spur his two bodyguards into action. Drawing their swords threatening, Zabuza didn't need to do anything before Haku began to move, disarming the pair of samurai and sending them to the ground, limp thanks to several strategically placed needles. Gato stumbled back, being no better than any other civilian when it came to ninja capabilities, before he sighed, turning to leave, but not without one final warning.
"Zabuza, I heard how your friends were beaten, apparently ended up as money for the ninja. Perhaps you should get your act together before you and the brat end up the same; I've got more missing nin, but how many lives do you have?" Zabuza was fortunate enough to hold back his anger until the small man slammed the door, grabbing Kubikiribocho from its resting ace and slamming it down on the two boneless samurai, the two barely having time to scream before their heads came off with sickening squelch. Any blood that stained the steel soon disappeared as if drunk by the blade as the swordsman turned to Haku, stood at the side.
"I'll be going to give those ninja a visit. Clean the place up while I'm gone." He ordered before disappearing into mist that came from his body, leaving the masked Ninja alone.
"Consider it done Zabuza-sama."
It didn't take long before Zabuza entered the town, people cowering from his presence and running away into their pitiful houses with is every step. It wasn't hard for him to find the group he was aiming for as they strolled into the town centre already in combat stances. Seeing the pupil-less eyes of one of the kunoichi spoke volumes of why they had already noticed him, Zabuza clapping as he slowed to a standstill.
"Well would you look at that. Not only am I getting my pay cheque for killing you four, Kumo's getting me a sum for a Hyuuga. How the hell did you convince the Hokage to let you guys out?" he commented, his hand resting on the handle of Kubikiribocho as it rested on his back, the other pulling up the bandages that acted as a mask for the nuke nin.
"I guess you could say talent, but let's face it: we've got way more than that." Naruto called back, arms crossed as he stared down Zabuza. "Zabuza Momochi, missing nin of Kirigakure. One of the famous seven swordsman of the mist renowned for his silent killing techniques."
"So you do know your stuff then. Good on you." He mocking praised back as he pulled the hefty broadsword off of his back. "Too bad I'm not going to need it to kill a bunch of brats like you!" seconds later, he was dashing forward, easily dodging around the bullets Lee and Hinata fired forward to slash and separate the group. It wasn't long after when they all pulled out their mobirates, keys turning as they dodged the incoming steel.
GOOOKAIGER!
Zabuza had to jump back to avoid the various symbols that flashed forward, watching in slight confusion as they enveloped the pirates and suited them up. After, seeing the oddly coloured pirates, he struggled to hold back the laughter that threatened to pour out, leaning on his sword to keep standing.
"I see what you mean now kid! You've got stupid outfits to make people laugh themselves to death!" he yelled out, flashing through several hand signs. "Let's see how well they hold up against this! Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!"
With a fierce roar, the water within the nearby river exploded upward, a dragon rising from the depths before launching towards the team.
"I'll deal with this!" Lee announced as he appeared at the front, holding up his Gokai gun with the Gokai-green key already in and turned. Slamming the cylinder down in line with the rest of the body, the second green beast aimed before pulling the trigger, letting the gun screech.
FIIINAL WAVE!
The charged bullet collided with the dragon to force it to explode into a refreshing shower, raining down over Naruto as he threw his gun to Lee, trading it for a sabre coming his way. Armed with two blades, the captain kept up with Zabuza's strikes with grace belying his age, Hinata occasionally adding in a blast of bullets to force a weak spot. Eventually, Naruto managed to parry one risky slash the Kiri swordsman took, forcing his enemy's sword out of his hands and letting him slash an x into his chest before kicking Zabuza away.
"Maybe I've been underestimating you lot! How about I make it so that you can't work together?" Zabuza suggested, sliding around the shots that Tenten sent his way thanks to the Gokai spear. "Suirō no Jutsu! Mizu Bunshin no jutsu!"
Spitting out several globes of water towards the team, Hinata and Lee were unable to dodge in time, ending up encased in great spears of water while clones of Zabuza held them there, another ready to face the two left over with the original. Hitting the button on top of his buckle, Naruto turned to Tenten with a key in hand, surprisingly done in blue rather than the normal red, giving it a slight shake.
"You ready to go?" he asked, Tenten taking a second to stroke the bottom of her silver helmet before pulling out a similar key, done in red and white.
"You bet I am." Flicking open the screen of her cellular, the two Zabuzas were too slow to respond, shielding themselves with their blades as beams of light protected the two.
MEEEGAMAN!
"Blue! Megaman Rock!"
"Red! Megaman zero!"
"Robo sentai –"
"Megaman!" the two had changed dramatically from their initial pirate suits, changing the helmet for a more traditional style, lips moulded into the metal with black visors in front of a blue helmet with circles upon the ears for Naruto and white circles on red for Tenten. Out of the back of the weapon mistress' head, a long ponytail of blonde hair came out, tied with a black band, while the rest of the armour was composed of white gloves, chunky metal crimson boots and a red and black chest pieces with a black suit under. Naruto's was much simpler, formed of a darker blue glove and boots, as well as a chest plate, over a lighter coloured bodysuit. On his right hand was a cannon of sorts, bulbous with energy already charging at the end.
The two Zabuzas, original and clone, were too shocked to avoid the blast of pure energy Naruto sent their way, the clone popping into a puddle on the ground while Zabuza ended up singed across his torso. It wasn't the end though as Tenten surged forward, the hilt in her hand allowing a blade of pure lime energy to slash through the Kubikiribocho with no effort required.
"What the hell? No one's damaged the Kubikiribocho so much! How the hell did two brats like you do that?" Zabuza voiced, instead choosing to attack with his fists as he danced around the energy sword unburdened by the weight of his blade.
"The people who fought the ones who originally wore these suits had similar technology, meaning people like you have no way of blocking my attacks!" Tenten roared, cutting a gnash that sliced down the missing nin's face, leaving a scar over one eye and the left side of his torso that was unable to bleed, cauterised in seconds of being cut. Stumbling back, he was then treated to the sight of his other clones exploding, the spherical water prisons they were maintaining forming a mermaid's image as Lee leapt forward, Hinata dressed in a blue suit of her own.
"Magi-blue!" she declared, pointing her wand at Zabuza, water gathering at its tip before zooming forward to push the man back.
"Shit, can't do anything here." He muttered to himself, thankful when all of a sudden, Hinata collapsed to the ground with a single senbon in her neck. Without further distraction, the man disappeared into mist, chakra laden just in case the Hyuuga was able to stand once more.
"Running into the artificial fog, Naruto glanced around, but with no sight of Zabuza anymore, he could only sigh as he released the transformation, followed by his teammates.
"Looks like he got away. We better get back to Tazuna and tell him that things have escalated. If we hurry, he might still be at the bridge construction sight. Let's move!"
Watching over the rest of his crew training away, putting all they could into their work, Naruto gave a burdened sigh.
'Who would've thought that I would have people actually listening when I gave commands?' he mused, wincing as Hinata gave a devastating shot to one of his clones directly to his genitals. 'I guess I'm getting closer to Marvellous than before…'
But could he really say that? After all, even with the initial bumpy ride that they went through, the original Gokaigers followed after the rest of the super sentai in that they fought for the betterment of the earth, fighting evil and corruption to make a better future for everyone across the globe. Could they call themselves a sentai if they didn't follow that belief? After all, they were fighting purely to raise the reputation of their own home, most likely at the cost of another village. It wasn't the same as protecting the entire planet against the universe if they only fought or a miniscule number in comparison.
"Why do you still train? Why do you fight?" Naruto turned to the voice that questioned him, coming from a young boy who glared at him with rebellious eyes.
"Oh yeah, you were… Inari right? I remember your mother talking about you." Naruto remarked. "Well we're training so that Tazuna can build up his bridge and get some life back into this place without the threat of Gato over his shoulder."
"But you can't beat him, no one can!" Inari protested. "Gato's too strong, he'll kill you all!" Naruto scoffed as he looked back at his friends, too busy in their regime to look up.
"So what makes you think that huh?" he asked, the young child clenching his fists.
"Everyone that tried to go against Gato's dead! No matter how many of his people you kill, he can just afford more, so there's no point even trying!" Inari began. "You can train as much as you want, but you're just like everyone else, human! You'll die and everything will continue without changing! You'll just be throwing away your life!"
"Just like you're throwing away any hope you have in order to make room for more despair!?" Naruto countered, his strict voice managing to break through the boy's impassioned speech. "Look, we're not like the rest of you civilians, or even other ninja! We're trained in ways you could never hope to be and stronger than you could reach at your age! Can you see yourself running laps around the entire town at the age of 5? Know the sweet taste of bitter defeat at 6? No, you don't! You've just lost hope at seeing someone close to you die!" Inari winced.
"How do you know about that?" he asked in a low voce, eyes firmly on the ground to hide the tears that began to well.
"Because you do a very bad job of hiding that image. Was he your dad?" Naruto asked, remembering when he had chanced upon that image, it made his first appearance make much more sense. Grabbing the boy by his shoulders and raising Inari's head, he gave the boy a small shake. "Look, you can't forget your father and his death, to do so would make you a monster. But you also have to be able to move forward."
"It's hard though… Daddy…" were the only word that could be made out from the tear soiled blubbering that came from Inari, Naruto patiently waiting until he got it all out of his system. In his early years, Naruto had reacted very much in the same way, crying until he could no more for his parents that would never come, but that time, there was no one (at least, no one willing to do so) that would be there for him in those desperate times.
"Look, so far, you've shown your grief in anger and sorrow. How about we change that into something different?" Naruto suggested, Inari looking at him with confusion in his watery eyes. "I… know some people who can use magic, great magic."
"But magic isn't real." Inari immediately protested until Naruto held a finger to his lips.
"No, it really is. But they needed a very special chant to make it work and they taught me one for if you're ever sad. We're going to make your sadness into courage and all you need to do is close your eyes and repeat after me, okay?" It took a second for Inari to follow his orders, shutting his eyes and slowing his breathing.
"Okay, repeat. Sayonara namida, Yoroshiku yuuki!"
"Sa…Sayonara… Namida, Yoroshiku… yuuki…"
"No, you need to really believe it, or the magic won't happen!" Naruto declared, grasping the boy's hands in his own. "Now, let's try that again! Sayonara Namida, Yoroshiku yuuki!
"Sayonara Namida, Yoroshiku Yuuki…"
"Again!"
"Sayonara Namida, Yoroshiku Yuuki!"
"Once more!"
"Sayonara Namida, Yoroshiku Yuuki!" Naruto gave a small smile to the boy, who had subconsciously smiled.
"Remember that, because one day, it may save you from despair."
Naruto's super sentai 'Saiko!' pedia!
robot sentai megaman -ロボ戦隊メガマン
Dr Light's robots were lauded as marvels of technology, but very few cared to think about Dr. Wily's contribution. in a fit of jealous rage, Wily stole many of the original labour robots, altering them into combat machines. it was only through the combined efforts of the random robots Light had at his disposal and specially engineered suits that they were able to fight back. they had the special trait of being named after a video game that was repopularised at the time.
Anchors down! Urgh, that last part made me throw up a little inside, but hey, it's there still. Just remember, I'm pulling out all the stops soon, and there's gonnig to soon be a special arrival, so be ready for anything!
