Musashi vs. Kenpachi.
Shikamaru was almost out of chakra, not only was he having to defend himself against enemy ninja but he was also having to defend Kenpachi as well who at the moment was in a fierce fight with the rock nin and his clones, "heh to think that I recently got married to this troublesome woman and didn't even get to go on my honeymoon with her and now I have to fight in this scuffle, man it's so troublesome." I am out of chakra, Kenpachi is busy and the other Kumo ninja are fighting off the earth nin I get to handle all these people on my own it is so troublesome, sorry Temari it seems I won't be making it back this time" he said falling to one knee.
.
Suddenly: "Fūton: Suidou," "Sasori Shuurai," "Doton Takeyari" ("Wind Tunnel," "Scorpion Sting," "Earth Spears,") and just like that all the sound nin in front of Shikamaru fell dead to the ground most of their body parts missing, looking up he saw the three sand genin in front of him. Shikamaru was shocked at their appearance on the battle field "what the hell are you three genin doing here?" he asked incredulously, "What does it look like Shikamaru-san we are helping you out" said Kagome in a respectful tone. "I understand that but how did you find me?"
"What do you mean how we found you we have followed you, since we were released from the genjutsu by that fat Leaf Nin Chiruku and after telling us about the situation, he asked us to go and help you out it's that simple." Inuyasha said.
"Well then if that's the case then I am thankful for your help, do any of you have a food pill or soldier pill I can eat because I am out of chakra?" asked Shikamaru, "huh oh yes, our apologies here have a soldier pill it should restore your chakra." Kagome said, suddenly the ground shook and a large poof of smoke appeared and in the distance could be seen two very huge summoned animals, "damn what the hell is going on" said Miroku, he was shocked at the sudden appearance of the huge toad and snake that had just appeared. Kagome answered that question "there is only one man who commands the legendary Toads. The man known as the Shadow Clone Sage of Konoha: Namikaze Naruto and judging by the fact that a snake is also present that could only, mean that the apprentice of the former snake sannin Kabuto Yakushi has resurfaced and is waging war."
"Shit it seems Naruto and Kabuto have finally spotted each other" Shikamaru thought to himself, "you are right Kagome you are very observant but never mind that" said Shikamaru that situation is under control however, this situation is not we have a bunch of enemy ninja appearing from all sides and Kenpachi is fighting another enemy a ways back." Shikamaru told the young genin.
"Well then let's get to work why don't we" said Miroku in a serious voice, he made a series of hand sign and said "Fūton: Atsugiri Aranami" ("Ninja Art: Wind Tunnel Slicing Waves") and pointed it in the direction of the oncoming ninja, a huge tornado appeared and cut down most of the ninja and dissecting them as well, however there seemed to be even more ninja coming so Inuyasha said "alright fuck this shit it's time to take this up a notch and sheathing his sword he cut his finger, went through a series of hand signs and said "Ninpou: Kuchiyose no jutsu"( "Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu") and slapped his hands on the ground a few seconds later when the smoke had disappeared it a Huge scorpion about 6 feet tall appeared with a scroll furled in its tail.
"Why have you summoned me here Inuyasha?" Asked the large scorpion after giving Inuyasha the scroll trapped in his tail," greetings Sasori Sama but I am in need of your help my comrades and I are surrounded by enemy ninja and they don't have enough chakra to fight them all by themselves so I am in need of your help he told the scorpion respectfully." "I see well then if that's the case let's get to work, unseal your sword from the scroll boy it's time for battle." The summoned scorpion told the white-haired genin in a gruff and commanding voice.
"Hai, Sasori sama." He then applied some of his blood on the seal of his scroll and unsealed the scroll and revealed his sword that was stored inside, however like Kenpachi's katana it looked nothing like a normal katana because it looked like a 12-part segmented blade; each segment being wider than the one preceding it from the hilt with 4 pick-like protrusions on the front and back of each segment, with the ones on the front longer than the ones at the back.
"Wait; hold on a minute let me figure this out a minute before you go charging head on gives me a run down on your basic abilities. I am the commanding officer and your lives are in my hands and with the amount of enemy ninja coming toward us I want to be able to defeat them in a precise manner." Sasori while a bit agitated at being asked to stop quickly agreed with the leaf Jonin that a fool proof plan was needed before attacking, "This young Nara man is right Inuyasha these ninja who will be attacking will be very highly skilled ninja."
"Now Inuyasha I already know about your basic abilities from the earlier match but tell me about your summon and this sword of yours," Inuyasha looked at Sasori who nodded his head, "well Sasori sama is the Head of the scorpion clan being the largest and most skilled of the scorpion clan he is able to deliver a very powerful neurotoxin venom from his tail and he also has the ability to split into smaller versions of himself and attack and they are also able to attack independently of each other when in this form. This blade of mine meanwhile is a very special blade because it was made from a Giant scorpion's body and so it is nearly unbreakable and each of the pick like protrusions on my blade carries powerful venom, from different species of scorpions. My whole blade is also dipped in scorpion venom while I am immune to its effects I can also use it like a whip causing more damage and causing me to have greater range, which gives me a better chance of hitting or even grazing my opponent."
Miroku then spoke up and said "I am very skilled in Sand and Wind based jutsu most of my jutsu have the effect of causing a lot of external damage to an enemy I can also use my attacks to target a large group of ninja as seen from my wind tunnel jutsu however due to my chakra capacity I cannot use these types of attacks more than a few times."
Kagome also spoke and said "I use many earth based attacks to trap my enemies in my earth based structures such as my earth dome jutsu or the headhunter jutsu, I am mostly able to use many prison based jutsu. I mostly work best in a place where I am able to trap or incapacitate my enemies temporarily which gives my teammates a chance to attack. I am also able to use jutsu such as the stone spears technique however that technique requires my enemy to be distracted or if his guard is down basically my fighting style is similar to yours sensei while I trap the enemy my teammates finish them off."
"Ok, I understand so if I read the situation correctly Inuyasha has the greatest chakra capacity out of all three of you and can cause more damage with less exertion and chakra than you two." "Fine then here is what we will do Inuyasha you go ahead and stop the oncoming ninja but before you do tell me something can your scorpion create a small clone from its body and leave it with me so that I can communicate with you if I need to?"
"Yea sure no problem" He turned to the scorpion and said "Sasori sama would you please do so?" After thinking about it for a second the large scorpion nodded and did as Shikamaru asked of it and left with his summoner to defeat the oncoming Shinobi. "Alright now Miroku and Kagome I want you guys to form up around me and keep a sharp lookout alright?" The two genin nodded and got into place.
Meanwhile
Kenpachi was having a blast not only was he getting to fight a very skilled and difficult opponent who was hard to beat he was able to learn a lot from fighting with his enemy, the battle was very intense, Musashi was a very skilled opponent indeed, both ninja were covered in cuts and bruises neither of them giving an inch even with his superior speed Kenpachi wasn't able to do much damage to his enemy, even with his heavy clothes off he was not doing enough damage to his opponent to injure him enough to find an opening even with the "Kuma no Tsume" he was having a hard time which in itself was a testament to his enemy's skill. Although he was having fun he knew he had to finish the fight quickly especially when he saw the two huge summoned animals show up on the battle field. He thought back to how he had first learned the art of the blade from his master.
Flashback
5 years ago when he was only ten years old the sound village had attacked Konoha they had caused many deaths and causalities among which were his mother Azula, after his mother's death he became depressed he no longer cared about his performance at the ninja academy and soon started to become a troublemaker. Then one day he had been caught trying to steal a sword From Tenten's father Takashi. He had at first tried to resist by using the stolen sword against the shopkeeper, Takashi had been surprised at the young man's bravery and so he told him that he would let him go if Kenpachi was able to cut him with the sword. Kenpachi quickly agreed thinking he was just an old man, they went into the back room training area Takashi kept for trying out the new weapons.
Kenpachi then took the sword in his hand and tried his very best to try and cut the old shopkeeper, though try as he might he could not even scratch the shopkeeper although this did not deter him he kept on going for many hours until he finally collapsed from exhaustion 5 hours later. When he awoke the next day he remembered he had fallen down from exhaustion and the man had then taken him to his house and put him to bed. He searched the large house until he found the man and his daughter having tea in the kitchen. "Why did you save me why I don't need your pity" the ten year old boy said, "I don't need your sympathy" he said with tears in his eyes.
"I didn't take pity on you boy I was intrigued by your skill you have a lot of raw talent which is quite interesting, tell me why did you steal a katana of all the weapons, wouldn't it be easier to steal some shuriken or kunai since they are smaller and easier to hide?"
"I wanted that katana because I wanted to become the greatest swords master in the world" Kenpachi said with a huff and the only way to do that would to train with a katana, that is my only goal in life I want to be so skilled with a katana that I don't have to see anyone die in front of again like my mom" he said finally breaking down into tears when Tenten rushed over and hugged him.
It was then that Takashi spoke. "So you want to be a skilled swordsman eh, all right I will make a deal with you from what I saw yesterday you have a lot of raw talent that can be shaped and you certainly have a lot of potential. From now on I will teach you the way of the sword and I will also allow you to stay here in my home but in return you will have to go back to the ninja academy and concentrate on your school work and become a Shinobi.
In your free time you will work in my store as payment for letting you live in my house and if you can show me your serious about becoming a ninja I will teach you the correct way to wield a blade." Takashi told the boy. Kenpachi quickly agreed and did as he was told after a while with his new family he became a happy child again and he never looked back.
End flashback
with the images of his friends and family and especially one girl named Tatsuki to spur him on he dug deep within himself and began to fight his enemy again with renewed vigor "alright no more holding back: time to end this now my friends and family are depending on me.
"Konoha Kuma Tsume!" ("Leaf Bear Claw!") Raising his sword and hardening and sharpening the edge with his chakra he began to overpower the swordsman and slowly began to deal his enemy deeper cuts and wounds, he then followed it up with his favorite technique "Konoha Jiten Shikon!" (Leaf Spinning Fang!") By running at full speed and spinning his sword in small and fast circular motions he was able to deal many deep cuts to his enemy in a short span of time. Kumashiro seeing his summoner's fury also got encouraged and pushed past his limits and began to deal decisive blow to the clone he was fighting.
After a while of fighting Kenpachi began to notice that his opponent was breathing heavier and as a result his clone was taking longer to reconstruct itself. he realized that the clone was powered by the man's chakra and with his chakra levels decreasing the clone was taking a longer time to form, but even with this knowledge he still couldn't defeat his opponent because he too was getting tired, he tried to think of a plan and finally figured one out, he turned to Kumashiro and said "hey man I think it's time for that technique." The bear looked at him in surprise and said "you sure man you can't control that technique for too long." "I know but what other choice do I have Kenpachi told the bear. "Alright man then let's does it."
Kenpachi then took out a couple of smoke bombs from his pack and threw them on the ground temporarily blinding his opponent; he then retreated a small distance away and began to prepare for his greatest technique. The bear took one of his paws and put them on the blade and then took his other paw and joined it with Kenpachi's hand then together they said "Ninpou: Konbijutsu: Jin Kuma Ketsugou!" ("Ninja Art: Collaboration Technique: Man and Bear Combine!") Suddenly a red glow started to envelop the two, just as the smoke had begun to clear, the earth ninja saw them both and before he could attack them they were enveloped in a flash of blinding light.
When the light had disappeared a lone figure stood. He was 7 feet tall and looked like half bear half man, although he looked mostly like a man; his body was more muscular and covered in black fur except for his face, with a single hand sign Kenpachi blade reappeared in his hand and he said alright guy it's time for round two and with amazing speed he landed in front of his opponent and cut him deeply across the chest and then once again across his back, despite Kenpachi cutting him so deeply the man was still standing which was a testament to his own skill." What the hell are you, are you a demon?"
Kenpachi looked at him with a bloodthirsty grin and said "yes, I am a demon, I have become a demon to send you to hell" with the man being so deeply wounded he could no longer sustain his chakra clone and it collapsed into a pile of rocks, "P-p-lease have mercy on me" the rock nin said with real fear in his voice. "Sorry, I am not the mercy giving type" the genin said in a deep and predatory voice. He then took his sword and proceeded to amputate the man with his sword by cutting of his legs while the man screamed in pain and agony, not stopping there he then proceeded to cut off his arms as well, "you are no shinobi you have attacked a neighboring village and caused destruction and mayhem for no other reason than to satisfy your greed, let judgment be passed upon you." He then turned his hands into a bear claw and scratched the man's face off leaving him to die from blood loss.
When the other ninja saw the man-bear hybrid covered in blood they started to cower in fear and tried to run away. For all the good it did them, Kenpachi using the speed of his new form quickly and efficiently killed all the escaping ninja.
He was about to release the jutsu, when he heard a scream coming from Shikamaru direction, he quickly turned into a bear and ran on all fours towards the scream and found Shikamaru and the two sand genin fighting off the dwindling rock ninja, he then once again assumed his bear/human hybrid form and made quick work of the enemy ninja, just as the last enemy ninja had fallen at his hands, Shikamaru began to open his mouth to ask when he saw Inuyasha coming towards them, and he too seemed to be looking like a scorpion/man hybrid, because while he looked the same as he normally did the main difference was he had a scorpion like hard exoskeleton.
Shikamaru was about to ask his question once again when the ground shook once again from the tremors created by the two large summoned animals in the distance, filing his questions away for the moment he said. "alright guys now I assume you two are Kenpachi and Inuyasha and have somehow fused with your summons, but putting aside that for the moment we need to get over there where Naruto is, can you get us over there?"
Kenpachi nodded and said "yes sure I can," Inuyasha however said "I am afraid my comrades and I can offer you no more help, Shikamaru-san we promised Chiruku san we would help you but it seems you now have the situation well in hand with the reappearance of Kenpachi. We must now look for our fellow Suna Ninja." Shikamaru said "ok sure no problem, I understand thanks for your help go ahead and look for your friends" the sand genin all nodded then simply vanished in a shun shin of sand.
"So you want to go to where those two big animals are fighting eh?" "Well I guess I know what you're doing and must have a reason." Kenpachi said showing total trust in his commander; he then changed into a bear and gestured for his sensei to get on his back when Shikamaru did so.
Kenpachi still in his bear form using his powerful legs catapulted over the tress and in a matter of minutes he reached the site where the two were fighting and was surprised to see the other leaf warriors battling enemy ninja short distance away.
Trying to keep the rock and sound ninja from attacking Naruto, after landing near the others Kenpachi had to release the jutsu and after a flash of light the man/bear hybrid separated and became Bear and man once again both panting heavily.
Kumashiro still panting said "I am out of juice I got to go Pachi." The young bear said, "yea sure thing Kumashiro thanks for all your help I'll call you out again in a few days when everything goes back to normal" Kenpachi told his young summons" the bear simply nodded and then vanished in a poof of smoke.
Kenpachi however was still panting heavily; trying to get his breathing under control Shikamaru was worried and asked the young genin if all was well. "Yeah no sweat sensei it's just that being in that form takes a lot of energy and stamina and although over time the body becomes more used to it, I'm still a bit new to the technique and was barely able to master the basics over the last month" Kenpachi said swallowing a soldier pill.
"Anyway it seems we got out of the frying pan and into the fire." Shikamaru just smiled and said "it seems so, you ready for another round?" He asked the young genin, Kenpachi just smiled and said "oh hell yeah this shit is fun let's go it's time for round three" he said and simply jumped into the fray. Landing next to Tatsuki and the warrior toads and with a slash of his sword he cut and maimed a Rock nin who was about to attack Tatsuki from her blind spot, seeing Kenpachi suddenly next to her Tatsuki was shocked at Kenpachi's sudden arrival but smiled happy. "Hey sexy, miss me?" Kenpachi asked a pleasantly surprised Tatsuki.
