Konohamaru and Shino had caught up with Noitra and his Jonin proctor Raditz since there were two opponents they were forced to split up with Shino taking the Jonin and Konohamaru going after Noitra to fight him, soon they finally reached a clearing and Noitra and Konohamaru finally began their battle.
Konohamaru looked at his opponent and said "alright you stupid bastard you want to dance let's dance." "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)" suddenly 2 clones appeared besides him and charged Noitra, however Noitra quickly dispatched the two clones and said "so you want to play with clones do you alright I'll show you something" and suddenly he made a few hand signs and then suddenly his whole body started to change instead of his normal pale appearance he became a pale dark gray.
Konohamaru was shocked at his opponent's sudden change in appearance, but continued to attack using his shadow clones, however the clones were killed as soon as they came within range of Noitra's axe. "Well then if shadow clones don't work maybe this will" he put on a burst of speed and before his enemy could react he kicked him high in the air he then seemingly disappeared from view and appeared under his opponent said "Kage Buyō!" ("Dancing Leaf Shadow") suddenly he jumped high up in the air seemingly disappearing from view.
He then appeared underneath his opponent and locked his body with wires that seemed to appear from within his sleeves and said "Omote Renge!"("Primary Lotus!") He then pile drived Noitra into the ground head first while rotating at a ferocious speed.
When the smoke and dust cleared Konohamaru was shocked to see that instead of Noitra being buried in the ground what he saw was a now badly damaged log. Kenpachi suddenly appeared from his hiding place and said" damn that is truly one scary technique, it's a good thing I dint get caught in that technique or else that could have hurt me" Konohamaru was shocked but controlled his emotions and suddenly nodded as the memories of his shadow clone returned to him "I see so you escaped during the few seconds it took for my shadow clone to come up behind you and bind you with the wires" Noitra grinned and said " that's quite a handy way to escape the damage caused by the Primary Lotus, by using a shadow clone you escape the majority of the damage that is caused by the jutsu." Konohamaru smiled and said "thank you but now I'll show you the true strength of a Sarutobi."
Taking out his weapon scroll he unsealed his monkey staff and suddenly disappeared in a shun shin of leaves. Noitra looked all around him but could not find them suddenly Konohamaru jumped down and said "Saru Dageki!" ("Monkey strike!") His staff suddenly lengthened many times over and he struck Noitra over the side of the head across his neck causing the earth genin to fall down and his neck to bleed, "no way that was enough to kill him or keep him down" Konohamaru thought to himself keeping his guard up.
Shino was fighting the Iwa Jonin who had some weird armor jutsu that was providing difficult for his beetles to get through, "heh so this is the extent of the vaunted Aburame clan of Konoha, see that's the problem with you fools you rely only on your natural abilities you don't bother training about anything else..." before he could finish he was elbowed in the gut by Shino, "now then if have finished your sermon shall we continue?" Shino asked
"Alight fine I'm finished but now allow me to introduce you to our village's signature jutsu": he made a few hand signs and clapped his hands together and said "Ishi Sekkan"("Stone Coffin") suddenly the rocks and earth around Shino started to surround him and starting squeezing him until it completely encased him and crushed him to bits.
Naruto had finally caught up with Kabuto and began to fight, "Ah Kabuto I see you showed your face here again I can't say I am surprised to see you, but I am surprised to see you here in Kumo, last I saw you had been poisoned by Granny Tsunade and narrowly escaped death by using the dead as a shield."
Kabuto was irritated at Naruto's comments but hardly showed it. "Well done Naruto kun I see you have learnt self control and have matured greatly after all you are now one of the Nisei but I wonder how much self control you will have when your friends are in danger?" "What do you mean?" asked Naruto in confusion.
"It's simple really: might I direct your attention to the clearing behind us? Naruto still standing on top of Gamabunta said "what are you planning" he asked dubiously, but still turned around... and saw that 50 feet away Hinata and the other leaf Shinobi were fighting with the sound ninja who all suddenly were undergoing some transformations it seemed like... "You son of a bitch you put curse seals on them didn't you?"
Kabuto simply chuckled and said "so you noticed eh it took me a lot of research and work but I was able to duplicate the curse seals effects albeit with only 1 level though. But it is still effective, although unfortunately it makes them into mindless killing machines." Naruto started to get angry and was about to say something before Gamabunta spoke "hey kid keep your head in the game don't forget your only mission at the moment is to kill this son of a bitch in front of you, besides Gamakichi is with them so I wouldn't be too worried, not to mention your friends are no pushovers either.
"Bunta Chan is right Naruto Chan have faith in your friends and concentrate on beating them we are here to back you up isn't that right pa?" Ma asked pa toad, "yes, ma is right Naruto Chan believe in the strength of your friends."
"Now let's finish this quickly I have a pie in the oven and I don't want it to burn." "Are you serious woman we are in the middle of a battle and all you can think about is your goddamn pie in the oven?" "Don't you get snippy with me pa or else I won't give you a piece of the pie and ill share it all with bunta Chan" Ma told her husband hotly "um excuse me, guys can we have this discussion at a later time we have a job to do here." "Ok, fine!"
"Please, excuse the interruption Kabuto while I admit you surprised me with that little trick of yours I am not too worried about my friends, they are strong and can weather through the storm, but you did make me realize one thing. I am going to have to stop you from using any more dirty tricks, now guys!" Naruto said to the two old sannin. Clapping their hands together the three sages said as one: "Tengai Akuma Sanin Kessei" ("Demonic Sage art Dome Method Formation"), suddenly a large dome appeared over Naruto and his opponent.
"What the hell is this thing" Kabuto asked surprised? "This is what I like to call a level playing field with this dome barrier in place neither of us can escape this barrier nor can anyone come in meaning to say that whatever control you had over your sound ninja is now gone.""So now where was I?" "Oh yes I remember I was just about to kill you! Unsheathing his two windmill blades from his back and making a series of hand signs he said "Fūton: Hitokire Shuuhasuu" ("Wind Element Slicing Waves") causing the air itself to become countless sharp blades attacking Kabuto from every direction.
"Whoa what the hell is that" said Hanabi looking over to where Naruto was and saw a very large circular dome in which she could see Naruto and Kabuto fighting each other, she had finally reached the place where Naruto and Kabuto were fighting she could see it with her Byakugan "it seems to be a barrier Ninjutsu," said Kenshin but I am afraid I don't recognize it, it seems like a high level technique though. It seems like one of Naruto's Sage barriers said Tenten. "Yes your right" said Hinata confirming Tenten's guess.
"From what Naruto kun has told me it's a barrier that prevents those within the barrier to influence other things or ninja outside of the barrier using chakra signals while at the same time it prevents others from entering inside, and since he uses both natural energy and Kyuubi chakra it gives it a double layer of protection."
"Because if someone tries to enter the dome or leave the dome by force they would be killed instantly by the demonic chakra Hinata said as she kicked one of the sound ninja's approaching her. "Not only that it also kept you guys safe" said Gamakichi. "Naruto is trying to protect all of you by fighting that snake man one on one." ""I see, well then we better come up with some sort of plan" said Shikamaru and after giving Udon a subtle nod he dropped a smoke bomb on the floor. With the smoke bomb temporarily blinding their enemies Shikamaru and Co. retreated to a safe distance to figure out their plan.
"The first order of business is to figure out the extent of their abilities, so I want you all to tell me what you have observed so far and tell me about the plan that you genin created" Shikamaru said looking at Kenshin and Udon, after hearing them all out Shikamaru then Formulated his plan accordingly.
"Chouji, Kiba, Lee and I have all met ninja with curse seals before so we have a basic idea about them however, since the other three aren't here yet I guess its up to me and he then proceeded to tell them of the effects of the curse seal and its abilities after giving them this information Shikamaru devised a plan of attack. "Alright guys here is how we are going to do things listen carefully, the best way to tackle this problem is to attack in a segmented group." "For the duration of this battle I am the battle field commander and you are my subordinates it will take all of us to win this battle and I want you all to do your best even you genin now I am going move you guys around like chess pieces and if you want to stay alive you will do exactly as I say now I am familiar with almost all of your fighting abilities, except for you Gamakichi and Gamatatsu what are your basic abilities?" Shikamaru asked the young toads, although he looked hesitant at first a look and gentle nod from Hinata made him relent "alright fine my basic abilities are that I mostly use my agility and speed, and I have a lot of strength. I specialize in Fire Jutsu as well, but unfortunately I burned up a lot of my chakra in helping Tatsuki fight off the first group of enemies before you guys got here. So the only thing I can do in my state is use my brute strength." same here goes for Gamatatsu he has mastered the Gama Sumo wrestling style and is specialized in using water jutsu.
"Ok, fine now this what we will do: I want Tenten and Hinata to attack them because with Tenten's accuracy and Hinata's Byakugan you will be able to target their weak points all the while I want Hirako to be using his bugs to steadily gather info and suck the enemy's chakra but only a little I want the chakra loss to look gradual."
"Then Tatsuki and Udon will stay back and create traps for the enemy Moegi you and Kenshin are our only medical ninja although you aren't fully trained you are still capable of treating small to medium injuries so you will keep to the rear next I want to keep Kenpachi at the front, because of his speed and skills he can hit the enemy quickly and definitely not to mention cause a lot of external damage." "Meanwhile Kenshin, Hanabi and I will all sit in the back on top of the toad's head analyzing the battle."
Kenshin knows most of your fighting styles he said to the genin and as result will be able to advise me on some of my decisions , Hanabi with your Byakugan you will be able to pinpoint any weaknesses the enemy has and you will be able to tell me how our attacks are effecting them on the inside, another reason for this is that with Gamakichi and Gamatatsu being our wild cards we will be able to protect anyone from the rear now then everybody take a soldier pill and do as I say.".
Meanwhile
The rock ninja was laughing and said: "In the end despite your bravado you just died as easily anyone else," he stopped laughing when he realized there was no blood; just as he realized that he was pierced in the back by a kunai, he turned to see Shino standing there "h-how did you escape? I see you used your bugs didn't you? you used an insect clone very good but let's see you escape from this:" "Doton Ishi Kasui Yajirushi" ("Earth Element Stone Spike Arrows,") all of a sudden out of nowhere a group of arrows appeared and the stone missiles started speeding towards him. By using a taijutsu Form he had created and perfected in the Anbu called Tantui by turning his body sideways and powering his fists with chakra Shino managed to neutralize the oncoming arrows. He was able to dodge the oncoming onslaught of stone arrows while smashing the ones he could not dodge but he still got hit by two of them which slowed him down, which allowed the rock nin to catch up to him. "hahaha what are you going to do now huh you can't win against me now your bugs are useless in front of my armor." and your taijutsu is crap, all you have done so far is dodge my attacks why don't you just give up and I promise to grant you a quick and painless death
Shino however remained ever silent as was his nature; the rock Nin lunged at Shino with a kunai at hit him straight in the heart... before being electrocuted by Shino's Raikage bunshin, although a bit unsteady on his feet the rock nin slowly got to his feet and said "although it is impressive I won't go down so easily he told Shino who was breathing very heavily 'he's right thought Shino to himself I used up almost half of my chakra making that Raikage bunshin and still that man got back up, damn it al.l" Suddenly Shino threw a couple of senbon needles at the man but they seemed to have missed seeing as they hit his headband or gone through over his head "hahaha senbon needles won't work against me you fool and began to walk towards Shino... When he suddenly collapsed, what the hell is going on?! "Is this some sort of delayed reaction from the Raikage bunshin" he asked?
Finally Shino spoke: "yes, and no, you see in the beginning I learned that my insects could not drill through your outer stone like skin armor so that is why I first used Taijutsu to test your speed and I realized that you did not have much speed however you surprised me with the speed of your ninjutsu. So I realized that the only way to beat you would be to electrocute you which I did with my raibunshin." "However you still survived that, but I had never recalled my insects. They were on you from the beginning although they could not directly drain your chakra they could drain the chakra that you used to keep up to your stone armor. Causing you to use more chakra to keep up your armor, additionally when you took my raibunshin head on you also activated my insects' dormant ability. Upon learning of my chakra nature I began to breed my insects so that they could withstand certain amounts of electricity and store them so with the lightning already having almost pierced your armor I had my insects start to burrow into your skin using the lightning they had stored."
"Next I threw some senbon needles at you although most of them missed they were intended to miss because with those senbon needles I sent a colony of female Kikachu beetles to your head and they started releasing pheromones that caused the male Kikachu beetles to eat through your chakra faster." Raditz laughed and said "It doesn't matter if you defeat me because no matter what you do you cannot defeat Noitra he is a demon incarnate, the final victory will belong to the Rock village and we will..." suddenly he started writhing in pain "what's happening to me?" he asked looking at his skin he could see the outlines of the insects inside his body.
"What is happening is simple my beetles are hungry so they are mainly feasting on their meal which is you." "Right now my beetles will devour you from the inside out and while they will use your flesh and skin to nourish them all the chakra that they eat from you will be used to replenish my depleted reserves."
"You also commented on my Taijutsu skills you are correct that compared too\ many of my comrades in the Konoha 12 such as Rock Lee and Naruto Uzumaki. My taijutsu skills are not on par with them however you seem to forget the aspect of taijutsu is not only to attack but also to defend and learn balance, similarly my Taijutsu form which I call Tán Tuǐ was created to improve fighting skills, balance, strength, flexibility, and focus, it also helps refine the basic skills required for advanced Taijutsu forms or in my case it helps me control my insects better by using less chakra and stamina."
"It is true I am an Aburame, but I am First and Foremost Anbu I think it necessary for you to know who I am so I shall introduce myself: so saying I am Shino Aburame Anbu Captain of the Konoha Hunter nin squad and my Primary duty is to track down Enemy nin and killing them and then disposing of their bodies in such a way that no trace is left." With that said Shino sat down to recuperate and watch his insects feast on the dying earth ninja's body,
"let this be a lesson to you to all who wish to harm Konoha or its allies this is the fate that awaits you," he said watching in interest as his insects devoured the man's skin while he heard the screams of the dying man. The insects continued their task until all the flesh, blood, protein, calcium and Bone marrow had been eaten off, soon there was nothing but a cracked and broken skeleton left. Shino then released a special breed of insects to break down and devour the bones of the enemy ninja.
A/N: For those of you not aware Tantui is a real martial art. Tán Tuǐ is composed of a series of forms, which emphasize blocking, stances, footwork, and most of all, kicks. It is a famous Northern Wushu routine and has several versions due to its incorporation into various styles. For this reason the name can be translated to mean "spring" or "springing leg" (the most popular) or "pond" or "lake leg". Read and Review People. Show me some love.
