Chapter 15: The Mad Sannin in the Woods
Raiden grasped their heaven scroll tightly as team 6 entered the forest, taking the happuri from his face, revealing a storage seal on the inside. Sealing the scroll, he took the scroll from his back, speaking as he did.
"I have scrolls that look exactly like the scrolls we need, so I'm giving each of you a copy so that anybody who steals ours won't have a working scroll." Explained Raiden, placing the scroll back in place once finished. Sariah and Aizen nodded, hiding their respective scrolls within their clothes.
Aizen spoke up, byakugan activated. "The closest team to us is half a km to the west, I can't see what scroll they have so it's probably in a seal." Stated the blue haired Hyuuga, jumping to the treetops. His teammates followed him silently, Raiden quickly passing him by as he blasted from tree to tree, silently rocketing through the forest as he did.
Raiden stopped as he reached the location Aizen stated, looking down to see a team of three from the hidden Waterfall 200m below him. They were stood in place arguing between themselves, trying to decide what to do. Pulling two kunai from his pouch, he waited for his teammates to catch up.
Once the two arrived, he spoke quickly and softly, so as not to catch the attention of the trio below. "I'll send down an explosive kunai and a Hirashin marker. I'll flash down and attack from the ground whilst you two hits from above." Instructed the white haired genin, pulling back his arm to throw.
Aizen snorted, frowning as he did, "I thought your limit was half this distance. What are going to do? Throw yourself off the tree branch?" Muttered the byakugan wielder, sarcasm heavy in his tone.
Raiden smiled, happy to hear his friend back to normal, muttering back as he threw the knives. "It is now. If barely" whispered the Senju, the last part to himself.
No ones' point of view
Shinji sighed, responding to his stubborn teammate, "I'm telling you, we should set up a camp just outside the tower, if we do that, we'll be assured that anybody we ambush will have the scroll we need!" Groaned the boy, glaring at the other as Sato, his other teammate and brother nodded in agreement.
Ryuuma, their final teammate and stubborn friend prepared to respond, before being interrupted by a pair of kunai burring themselves into the ground between the trio, exploding almost instantly after impact. The shockwave pushed the three backwards, Shinji noticing a flash of white light appearing in the cloud of dust.
"Storm release: Laser Shot"
Raiden point of view
"Storm release: Laser Shot" Intoned Raiden, releasing a duo of white energy beams from his palms, spinning one hundred and eighty degrees to try incapacitating the enemy team. He had attempted to restrain the power of the jutsu so as not to harm the opponents to much.
Unsheathing his weakened katana, he shot towards the closest chakra source he could sense, bringing his sword slashing horizontally as he emerged from the smoke. His opponent, who seemingly was only slightly burned from the jutsu, barely dodged backwards, pulling a kunai from his pouch as he did.
The boy in front of him was physically large, but not at all heavy set. His form was quite lithe and thin despite his large frame, his moss green hair spiked much like his brothers and his eyes steel gray, stairing out from a face with a heavy tan and wide jaw line.
Raiden again surged forward, spinning his sword to line up a reverse shot across the opponent's chest. The grey eyed nin managed to shift his body to limit the damage whilst also moving the knife to block the attack.
Shifting his feat, he turned away from his opponent, revealing his back open for attack. His opponent saw the opening and attempted to capitalise upon the opening. Sadly, he was two slow as the Senju swordsman jumped into the air, landing behind the opponent and bringing the hilt of his blade against the nape of the genins neck, knocking him out.
Aizen point of view
Aizen leaped from his spot once Raiden disappeared, charging a handful of senborn with chakra before launching them at the opponent, hitting a large amount of his tenketsu with the needles, causing the genin to stumble. Pushing chakra to his legs he released it as he was about to hit the ground, lessening the impact damage done by the jump.
Rolling to his feat he placed his palm on the genins chest, smirking as he spoke. "Rupture palm: Shock Pulse" Intoned the Hyuuga, pushing chakra out and caused the boy to rocket back, impacting the trees behind him and knocking him out.
Behind the Hyuuga Sariah smiled evilly down at the unconscious genin at her feet, trapped inside a genjutsu by her using her silver as a physical connection between the two. Turning to Raiden she saw him walking towards them, a scroll in his hands. Taking a closer look, she sighed, noticing that it was a second heaven scroll.
"It's a bust, but we at least knocked out one team from this competition." Sighed the Senju, tossing the scroll towards Aizen, who promptly activated Ignition Palm and burned the scroll to cinders. "Aizen, can you check for the closest group?" questioned the Senju a frown on his face.
Aizen smirked before speaking. "Can a fish swim?" Questioned the Hyuuga, his smirk turning into a frown when a whip of silver lightly smacked him across the back of his head.
"Just do it Aizen-baka, I don't feel like being in here longer than I have to." Growled Sariah, striking an imposing figure that should have been impossible due to her height when compared to the other member of team 6. Aizen swore he saw a taller version of his teammate standing behind her, her eyes glowing red and her face set into a bone chilling smile.
Aizen was about to activate his dojutsu before Raiden stiffened, grabbing his teammates and rocketing forward, heading deeper into the forest and towards the west. Raiden ran at speeds that his friends had only seen a few times before and were not prepared to experience the sheer force of the air impacting them as Raiden madly sprinted through the trees.
So surprised were the two that they did not take the time to question why their teammate was doing this. After about three minutes of running chakra raced through Raiden's body and spreading through those of his companions. In the next second, they were surrounded in a flash of white light reappearing to an intimidating scene.
Before them was Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura standing in opposition to a grass genin, although the level killing intent she was giving off was an indicator that she was no ordinary opponent. Sasuke was on his kneeling on the large branch on which they stood, clutching his shoulder as if it was causing him pain.
Pinned to a tree near them was Naruto, who hung limply as he was attached to the tree by a pair of kunai's that stick the top of his orange jumpsuit to the tree. 'At least that horrid thing is good for something' mentally growled before focusing on the opponent who had presumably did this.
Turning to the new arrivals the genin revealed that her face was ripped and shredded, revealing a second face beneath it, with pale grey skin and yellow snakelike eyes. Her eyes widened, before a creepy smile spread across her face before she began to laugh.
"Kukukuku, it seems that my prey has come to me, and you! I haven't seen you since you were a child, how are you Raiden-chan?" Exclaimed the girl, glancing at Aizen and Raiden in turn. Raiden stepped back in surprise, caught off guard by the caught that this stranger knew his name and had supposedly met him before.
The stranger capitalised on this moment of surprise, rushing towards the trio and lunging them as she did. Raiden leaped backwards, throwing his teammates to the sides to avoid the rush attack.
Raiden was on the back foot as he barely avoided his opponents blows, unable to draw his sword due to the frequency of her attacks. "Kukukuku, nicely done Raiden-kun! Better than your father at your age at least!" exclaimed the genin, her face finally falling off to show the face beneath.
Raidens' eyes widen in surprise at the face he saw, this was the person who had visited randomly until he was five and he had fled the village, his father's sensei! He barely remembered the visits, but he could not forget the face of the man in front of him, it was seared into his mind. The gray skin, the yellow, snakelike eyes, the purple marks that perfectly mirrored the seal on his own face. "Orochimaru" Choked Raiden in surprise.
That moment of surprise was disastrous for Raiden as blow hit him square in the chest, sending him rocketing back into the tree behind him. Coughing, Raiden began to leak a steady stream of blood from his mouth, his chest burning in pain as he fell to his knees. "Oh, so you do remember me Raiden-kun, I'm happy to hear that." Spoke the rouge Sannin.
Lifting his head up Raiden called out to Sakura, his voice pleading and desperate, surprising the other leaf nin and shocking them. "Sakura, run! Take Naruto and Sasuke and run! You don't stand a chance against him so please just run!" Screamed the white haired genin, struggling to his feet and coughing up blood as he did.
So shocked was the pinket that she complied with out questioning the Senju as she grabbed her teammates and rushed from the area. Orochimaru didn't even attempt to give chase, his face set into a smirk. "So, you were able to get up, your definitely Kyorakus' son." Exclaimed the Sannin, smirking at the scene behind him.
Turning away from Raiden he moved towards Aizen a smirk on his face as he did. "So, you are Isshins' son huh? You match the reports I was given." Questioned the man, a smirk on his face as he did. His path was suddenly blocked off by a wall of silver, the wall shifting forwards before bursting into a spiralling maelstrom of spikes and launching at Orochimaru.
The Sannin easily dodged and weaved through the veritable storm of spikes that were attacking him. He blocked a few of the final shards with his sword as he walked towards Aizen, a smirk on his face at what he saw as he was surrounded by floating shards of silver.
Raiden stood before him, a serious look on his face as he spoke "I don't care who you are, I'm not letting you attack my friends. Storm release: Storm Chain!" Shouted Raiden, his palms facing forward as he spoke.
A giant bolt of pure white lightning shot forth, forking off in every direction and connecting to the silver floating around him, forming a cage of lightning. The bolt pulsed madly, uncontrolled and with no true guidance as bolts blasted out, ripping, burning and tearing through Orochimarus' form. The end result was a large interwoven lattice of mad white lightning and a totally destroyed Orochimaru, who promptly turned into mud.
Raiden fell to his knees, panting as he was exhausted, his chakra nearly depleted as he watched Orochimaru emerge from the tree. He scowled at Orochimaru as the Sannin spoke. "Storm Chain? One of Kyorakus' favourite techniques, but your version is uncontrolled, only a C rank technique, not your father's famous liquid lightning." Admonished the mad Sannin as he stared at the violet eyed genin.
Aizens voice echoed from behind him, intoning a technique. "Fire release: Great Fireball" Shouted Aizen, blasting forth a large ball of fire that acted as an obstacle as he forced Orochimaru to jump back to avoid being burned.
Sariah stood next to Aizen, huge streams of silver ruching from her gauntlets and surrounding her foe. Sariah spoke softly, her voice deadly serious as she spoke. "Silver and Lightning release: 9 Levels of Hell: First Ring" whispered the girl as her silver burst into action.
Numerus spears extended out of the walls of silver, shooting to different spots in the circle as they sparked with blue electricity, all crisscrossing across the ring as Orochimaru dodged around them and sliced through a few.
The spears then shifted, forming into blades that began to rotate, lightning leaped between the blades as they rotated madly, attempting to slice through the Sannin, who easily dodged through the rotating blades. The jutsu finally ended, falling apart to reveal Sariah on the ground panting, her skin and clothing drenched in sweat.
Aizen stepped forward, shifting into a traditional gentle fist stance as he spoke. "I will not let you hurt them!" growled Aizen, glaring at the man across from him. Orochimaru smirked, forming hand seals as he did.
"Is that right? Well, it seems I'll just need to take you down. Fire release: Cinder Stream" exclaimed the snake Sannin, unleashing a stream of red flames at the Hyuuga. Aizen charged forward, forming hand seals as he did.
"Earth release: Rock Skin" Shouted Aizen, his skin darkening and forming fissures all across the visible parts of his body, as he broke through the stream of cinders. Aizen rolled into position just next to the mad Sannin, his face set into a visage of determination as he spoke. "You're in my field of divination! Eight Tri-grams: Thirty-two palms: Petrifying Touch!" growled the Hyuuga.
Aizen thrust his palms forward, his hands covered in his golden chakra as he struck at his opponent, who easily swerved through the barrage of golden strikes, barely being grazed by the attacks. Orochimaru began to frown as he felt his movements begin to slow, feeling the flow of chakra being used to enhance his movements begin to slow, as if his chakra pathways were tightening as if being forcefully shut.
Aizen smirked seeing the Sannins' frown, causing his movements to falter for a moment. Orochimaru capitalized on the mistake, allowing him to blur forwards as he hit Aizen in the chest. Aizen coughed as he slid back, falling to his knees as he did. Orochimaru walked towards the kneeling Hyuuga, a smirk on his face as he did.
"Impressive Aizen, you've begun to add elemental chakra to your gentle fist techniques to make them deadlier!" Exclaimed Orochimaru, a smirk on his face. As he walked towards Aizen he again began to speak. "I can't believe that I had the luck for my prey to come to me! I just wonder if you're enough like your father to be worthy of my gift?" Questioned the snake sannin, a grin on his face.
His neck shot forwards as he began to push chakra into his fangs as he attempted to strike the Hyuuga in the neck. Just as he was about to strike Aizen, Raiden grabbed his teammate and disappeared in a flash of white light, removing the two from the path of the Sannins' attack, leaving only Sariah who was splayed out just behind the duo.
The flash blinded the Sannin, causing him to continue to shoot forward, biting into Sariah instead of his intended target. Due to the fact he already had the necessary chakra in his fangs, and the fact that the flow of his chakra was hindered by Aizens eight tri-grams technique he could not stop the flow of chakra as it passed into the Jishaku.
Sariah screamed as the Sannins chakra flowed into her, gathering to the nape of her neck and forming an odd seal. The seal was formed mainly by two interweaving shapes, the base being an inverted triangle with a three bladed shuriken over laid on top, the three blades forming a circle around the seal. Around this circle were twelve equally spaced dots, half empty and half full. This was the seal of purgatory intended for Aizen Hyuuga.
Orochimaru retracted his neck, a frown on his face as he looked upon the young Jishaku, speaking as he did. "Oh, I didn't intend for that to happen. But not much of a loss, I did get my main target after all. Kukukuku, I wonder how the granddaughter of the third Kazekage will react to my seal of purgatory!" Exclaimed, his voice shifting in tone to maniacal laughter at the end.
Glancing around her saw Raiden helping Aizen to stand a few branched away from him, stairing tepidly at the rouge Sannin. Orochimaru smirked prepared to move towards them before thinking better, turning to leave as he spoke. "It seems you get to survive in this competition a little longer. I'll be going before the Anbu arrive!" Exclaimed the man.
Watching the man body flicker away, Raiden raced over to Sariah. Their female teammate was writhing on the ground, screaming in pain as she did. Her hands grabbed at her neck, nails scraping across the flesh as she tried to rip the skin tattooed with the seal from her body.
Raiden carefully kneeled next to the bluenet, carefully taking her hands into his own, preventing the girl from continuing to attempt to scrape her skin raw. He began to speak lowly to the girl, attempting to calm her down. "Come on Sariah! You're okay! He's gone now! I… We'll help you get that thing off!" Muttered the white haired Senju.
Sariah began to shake less, her screams quieting to whimpers as she seemed to slip into unconsciousness. Feeling a hand on his shoulder, Raiden wiped round to face Aizen. The Hyuuga frowned at his friend before he glanced around them as he spoke. "We need to leave here and find somewhere safe. We're just asking for more problems if we stay out here in the open." Explained the Hyuuga, getting nothing but a nod in response.
Raiden stood, lifting Sariah and holding her bridal style as he formed a hand seal as he did. "Seal: Sokudo Activate" Exclaimed the Senju, allowing the markings around his eyes to flow downwards, forming the feather like seals that made up his sensory enhancement array.
Raiden shot forward, his body nothing but a slight blur to even Aizens' Byakugan as he body flickered across the trees. "Damn it, he just left me behind, didn't he!?" Growled Aizen as he sprinted through the trees, following the path made by Raiden as he rocketed through the forest.
Deep in the Forest of Death
Raiden entered the cave he had picked out, de-activating his seal as he gently placed Sariah down on the floor, scowling at the girls whimpering. He kneeled next to the Jishaku, his now blind eyes falling to the floor. 'Dammit, what did he do to you!' Growled the white- and red-haired boy.
Pulsing out chakra to get a view of his area he gasped at what he saw off Sariah. Sariahs' acid green chakra was tainted, threads of sickly purple chakra weaved throughout her body, mainly focused at the nape of her neck. Growling Raiden took the scroll from his back, tacking longer than it should as he could not see what he was doing. Unsealing all the needed items for sealing he waited for his vision to return to him.
Half an hour Later
Raiden blinked as his sight returned, finally being able to see his surroundings. Ignoring that for the moment he glanced down at Sariah, unsealing some blankets so as to make her more comfortable. Arranging them on the ground he placed Sariah down on them so that he could see the nape of her neck.
Taking his brush, he quickly got to work, tracing a binding array around the strange seal as he did. The brush sped across the skin as a large array of seals was drawn out, each one drawn to precisely the exact parameters. The array took up a large amount of space on her back, the kanji seemingly flowing together to form one large array of seemingly continuous lines.
Placing his palm on the seals he pulsed his chakra, a white light glowing in his palm as the massive array condensed, flowing together and compressing to a space infinitely smaller to the original seal. Removing his palm, it revealed a single minuscule symbol at the very top of the purgatory seal. "This may take some time." Muttered the swordsman.
And so, the cycle continued, Raiden outlining a massive array of kanji before compressing it to a single symbol the size of the nail on Raidens' pinky finger. This continued as the symbols kept increasing, reaching twenty-five symbols when he finally reached halfway around Orochimarus' seal. Then, on the twenty sixth symbol, things went wrong.
Sariah point of View
Sariah walked through the silver dunes of the desert she had awoken in, looking around cautiously, with confusion evident on her face as she did. 'Where am I?' Questioned Sariah as she glanced around, noting a thick purple haze in the air around her. Looking up she noticed the sun seemed dimmed out, as if something was interfering with the light it gave off.
A symbol began to form above the star, black lines, that seemed to absorb all light that touched it, began to break through the sky. Once the seal was complete the purple haze lessened, if only slightly, as the sun seemed to brighten, causing some of the silver sand to shimmer.
This process repeated twenty-four times, each time causing the haze to clear bit by bit, and the sands to gleam brighter once each seal was completed. The twenty sixth symbol began to be formed, just like all those before it. Just as the symbol was completed something went wrong.
Energy began entering the world, becoming tainted by the purple haze as it flooded over the sands, blocking the gleaming dunes from view. The energy entered the magnet release user as she screamed in shock, feeling, if not seeing the new energy combine with her chakra.
Sariah felt her control of her own body slipping, becoming a passenger as something else took control. 'What the hell is going on!' Internally screamed Sariah as the last vestiges of control were ripped from her.
Aizen point of View
Aizen jumped from tree to tree, his jacket blown backwards by the passing wind as he moved towards the cave where Raidens' trail ended. "Dammit, I'm going to rip that idiot a new one when I get there! What was he doing racing off like that and leaving me their alone." Grumbled Aizen as he leaped from the branch on which he stood.
Aizen almost slipped as he made contact with the next branch as a wave of energy blasted out of the cave on his byakugan. Regaining his balance, he looked on in worry he sped up, reaching the cave just in time to hear Raidens' shout. "Uzumaki style: Chain Prison" Intoned the voice, followed by the sound of chains moving at high speeds and something piercing into rock.
Aizen entered the cave to see a bizarre scene. Sariah stood struggling against a network of spiked white chains that held her in place, a look of intense rage on her face as she struggled. Acidic green chakra flowed off Sariahs body, heavily tinted with a sickly purple colour. This was being easily absorbed by the white chains.
Raiden was stood stock still in front of the girl, shoulders shaking slightly. The white chains emerged from the half Uzumakis' chest. "What did you do?" Growled Aizen as he stepped towards the swordsman before stepping back in shock as he saw Raidens face. it was set into a scared look, his eyes watering as he looked at the thrashing Jishaku, tears rolling down his face.
"I don't know." Muttered the white haired Senju, falling to his knees as he spoke.
Jutsu list:
Storm release:
Laser shot: The user releases a beam of focused storm element chakra from their body, causing it travel in a straight line and pierce through anything in its way. It can only be stopped by B rank or above defensive or chakra draining jutsu or high-quality chakra conductive items. It is an improved version of the Storm Shot technique. C rank
Storm Chain: The user releases a large bolt of lightning from their hands, causing a chain reaction as the lightning branches off after hitting its target, continuing to spread until the user can no longer support the technique. For each target the lightning hits either the effect halves or the cost doubles. B rank
Rupture palm:
Shock Pulse: The user utilises the force part of the rupture palm style to create an attack that sends the opponent backwards quickly, although it suffers from a decrease in damage dealt by the jutsu. C rank
Silver and Lightning release:
9 Circles of Hell: First Ring: The initial version of the first technique in the unique series of magnet release jutsu created by Sariah Jishaku, and one of the weakest, although it isn't a weak jutsu. It is a purely offensive technique that forms a ring around an opponent, from which a number, exact quantity dependent on chakra available, of lightning covered spears emerge and extend to where the renter the wall. The spears shift into blades whilst the circle begins rotating at high speed, lightning jumping from in between blades. Once used the user will be exhausted as all chakra will be used by the technique. C/B rank (Chakra dependent)
Fire release:
Cinder Stream: The user releases a stream of mid-level flames that will cause whatever they come into contact with to be set ablaze in a few moments if it is flammable. C rank
Earth Release:
Rock Skin: The user reinforces their body with earth natured chakra, allowing the user to withstand stronger attacks, whilst also decreasing the effectiveness of fire and lightning release techniques. C rank
Eight tri-grams:
Thirty-two palms: Petrifying Touch: The user utilizes the thirty-two palms technique while also focusing earth release chakra into their hands. This added nature chakra causes the palms to not only close the opponents tenketsu, but also forcefully restrict the chakra pathways and harden them, making it impossible to undo the effects without the assistance of a medic nin or Hyuuga. B rank
And that's where I'm ending it! Thanks to those who have already read my story so far, I'm amazed at how many of you there are! Like last time I'm asking how was it? Better, worse? Did you like it? hate it? Please comment and note flames will be ignored and fed to the Void.
