Fox vs. Dragon
The force of Naruto's attack had caused Kabuto to fall on the ground flat on his back. The battle had taken a heavy toll upon him, although he had enough chakra to heal himself he saw that what Naruto had said was correct: his hard skeleton had returned since just before getting hit Kabuto created a new skeleton of himself thus the attack obliterated and crushed his outer skeleton into a fine powder, leaving his original skeleton intact, so although his skeletal system was actually intact but the damage was so great to his outer skeletal system that his bones were nothing but powder now. It was clear to Kabuto that he would never again be able to use the Kaguya clan's Kekkei Genkai. However he did have one last ace up his sleeve, smiling inwardly he laid where he was gathering his chakra for one last attack, waiting to see what Naruto would do next.
Naruto looked towards the two sages and with a nod the two sages released the jutsu that kept Naruto in his current form until Naruto was back to normal his blond hair and blue eyes showing, however it was only momentary until the sages gathered enough chakra for Naruto to re-enter sage mode. "Finish it quickly Naruto chan we only have 7 minutes left before we both run out of chakra."
Naruto nodded and gathering his chakra and panting hard Naruto turned towards Kabuto and said "well you bastard stand up and fight come on let me saw what you have hidden up your sleeve. You forget I'm in sage mode and I can sense your chakra levels and I see that you're building up to something." So you might as well show me what you have in store for me or if you prefer I could kill you right here if you please."
Laughing softly at first then louder and louder until his laugh was deafening "heh, Naruto kun I must congratulate you for coming this far and bringing me to this level but I'm afraid this is as far as you go for now I will show you the true power of my curse seal."
With a single hand sign he released the chakra he was building up and then his body began to change becoming more reptilian in shape Naruto stood there completely still while gathering his own chakra until Kabuto had finished. Naruto was waiting to see what form Kabuto took. Naruto was not in the least bit surprised to see Kabuto finally transform into a giant and towering black dragon. (A/N Kabuto has transformed into a Chinese dragon: think Shenron from DBZ but only black in colour instead of green.)
Looking unfazed by the sudden transformation Naruto threw a couple of flash bombs and retreated to a distance then Naruto looked at the two sages and said "well it seems Kabuto has played his trump card. I guess it's time I did the same, Kurama and I will Take care of this, but I'm afraid neither Kurama nor I have enough chakra to stretch this battle much longer if we have any hope of ending this battle in our favor, then I need you guys to help me with the one jutsu I cannot do."
Pa toad looked thoughtful for a minute and said "very well Naruto chan I understand what jutsu you are talking about but it's a very risky jutsu at this point of time as you know Naruto it's a hit or miss jutsu."
"In order for the jutsu to work it will require almost all of our chakra at this point of time leaving us just enough chakra to return home nothing more." "So think it over once again the path you are proposing for us is very risky for us all because if it doesn't succeed then we will all be dead." Naruto simply smiled a sad smile and nodded his head. Ma toad then looked at Naruto and said "we will do as you have requested Naruto chan but tell me one thing are you sure about this plan my child and do you know the consequences of failing?"
"I am very well aware of the consequences Kaa-chan but I'm afraid I have no choice if this battle is to be finished then this road must be taken and don't worry about me I don't plan on dying anytime soon."
"I still have to marry Hinata chan and have lots of kids with her not to mention becoming Hokage and retiring and then seeing Konohamaru become Hokage." Making a familiar hand sign he created a shadow clone turning towards the two sages he said "go my flash bombs won't stall him for long."
The two elderly toads laughed and Pa toad said "very well if this succeeds then we will have a feast in your honor and if not well..." he looked at Ma toad and gave her a quick frog kiss and said "well I have lived a long life as it is but know this much Naruto. No matter what, ma and I are very proud of you and always will be." with that said they detached themselves from his shoulder and retreated a short distance away on the shoulders of the shadow clone and started meditating to gather enough chakra for their last jutsu.
Kabuto in the meanwhile had finished his transformation and was looking all around for Naruto when he saw him in the clearing just ahead he was just about to charge at him when he stopped to see what Naruto would do next. Hovering high over him Kabuto said in a booming voice "now what Naruto kun?" it seems your toads have left you but seeing as you don't seem surprised by the fact of my transformation. "It seems you expected this situation which means you knew I could transform from the very start. Although I am surprised with your growth Naruto Kun I never thought I would have to access this form in order to defeat you."
Smiling at Kabuto, Naruto said "well I wasn't certain at first but when I saw you were still able to keep up your sage mode after my planetary rasengan attack I realised you had an ace up your sleeve." "I wasn't just sitting idle these past 3 years Kabuto I have trained both my mind and my body to its limits."
"After the war when I finally had time to think I realised that while I had perfected my beast and sage mode and was quite formidable in that regards I realized that I still needed to train my self and not rely on my sage or Jinchuuriki powers alone."
"I had to train to become strong enough so that I did not have to rely on my other powers all the time. After realising this I joined the Anbu and that is when I realized that true strength comes from within not from being a sage or being a jinchuuriki. "I was in the Anbu for a while and it was the Anbu that taught me restraint and control and it was thanks to my Anbu training that I was able to master and combine both sage and beast mode."
"I have to say though the Anbu was nothing like I imagined, as part of my training and induction Ibiki himself with approval from Tsunade had put a seal upon me that prevented me from using either my sage powers or jinchuuriki powers while training to become an Anbu, I also had half my chakra sealed."
"It was in the Anbu where I discovered and mastered my second element my mother's element: water." I spent a total of 2 years in the Anbu and it was within the Anbu I learned everything there was to know about you."
"I see, so that's why you were not surprised when I ascended to this form, you realised that I had achieved the Legendary Dragon Sage Mode with the help of my cursed seal."
"Naruto nodded and said "now then Kabuto if story time is over shall we get back to the battle I'm in a hurry to see you dead." With a single hand sign and a smile Naruto also transformed and in a flash of light and chakra, in the place of Naruto stood the great nine tailed fox Kurama, in order to fight Kabuto, Naruto had transformed into beast mode.
Thus the battle began anew however this time the battle seemed to be not one of two ninja but of two predators each fighting for dominance.
It was a battle to witness, with both ninja in animal form the battle was very violent and bloody Naruto had at first caught Kabuto by surprise by pouncing on him before he could move away. Sinking his teeth into the dragon's flesh he was able to severely wound Kabuto and restrict his movement; however at the last-minute the dragon's tail wrapped around the fox head and using Kurama's weight against him, the dragon was able to throw the fox off him and took to the sky away from the fox's grasp.
From the air Kabuto launched an attack by coiling its body around Naruto and using his sharp talons to steady himself Kabuto managed to grip the fox's neck with his powerful jaws and was about to carry out his next attack when the fox's nine tails managed to grab Kabuto and throw him on the ground.
Just like that the battle continued on for what seemed to be like hours neither animal was able to overpower the other both were equally matched.
Meanwhile:
At the end of the clearing Fukusaku and Shima were concentrating all their energy on gathering enough sage chakra for their last and greatest technique: Magen: Gama Rinshō (Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant.) "Hang in there a little longer Naruto-chan we are almost done." Shima said softly, "shut up and concentrate Ma we only have one chance to make this right." for once Shima did not argue and simply nodded and concentrated on gathering more Natural energy.
Outside a Bunker in Kumo
Chiruku was panting heavily and had wounds all over him his opponent was stronger than him as if that wasn't enough the guy seemed to have some weird ability for with every drop of blood that fell on the ground he reproduced a clone of himself a blood clone to be exact. Chiruku looked around him from the original fifty that had assembled only 20 of them were left. The rest were dead.
Flashback
Chiruku had been successful in releasing the Genjutsu on the rest of the shinobi and the Daimyo and their body guards. After quickly discussing their options: the gathered ninja among whom were ninja from Suna, Kumo and a few Konoha shinobi, they quickly debated the best place for the Daimyo to stay safe and away from the battle, when a Kumo shinobi suggested that they head 2 miles towards the southwest of the island, where an old military bunker was located it was the best place to keep the Daimyo safe. It was far enough from the main battlefield to be safe and not to mention that since it was underground it was secure and easy to defend but hard to attack.
Deciding it was the best plan the group of shinobi from different villages numbering a total of 50 shinobi banded together under the leadership of a Kumo Anbu Jonin named Sato, Sato assumed Leadership because he was the only one who knew where the bunker was hidden. By mutual consent they decided to keep the 3 Daimyo under the genjutsu spell until they were securely at the bunker confused politicians would only make the trip harder.
The shinobi had somehow managed to reach the bunker without encountering too many enemies and had only had one casualty, a broken ankle. The shinobi entered the bunker and armed themselves and made their preparations when everything was done they decided to wake the Daimyo and explained the situation to them, to their credit they took it calmly and didn't ask too many questions.
The shinobi divided themselves into groups to protect the Daimyo and the bunker, they had just finished their preparations when they were attacked by a group of earth ninja and a battle ensued although Chiruku was still recovering he had enough power to battle, thanks to his family's secret jutsu he was able to kill or incapacitate many of the earth ninja before they got close, thus saving energy, however just like always the best laid plans always go to hell in war.
Suddenly their wave of victory changed into defeat at the appearance of one man. He was nothing spectacular he had dark skin and was only about 5 feet tall. At first he did not seem formidable however they were soon proven wrong, because this guy who called himself Hideki seemed to have some weird ability which he called: Chishio Tane Bunshin (Blood Seed Clone), this one man who said he was the apprentice of Hidan and a devotee of Jashin. This one man alone made quick work of almost all the guards; weapons had no effect on him because for every drop of blood that fell on the ground a clone appeared from that drop of blood.
Chiruku was in deep shit if he said so himself they were outclassed, what was with these freaks of Nature. Chiruku thought to himself he knew all about Hidan and Jashin, his cousin Chouji had told him all about them and how Hidan had killed their sensei Asuma.
As if that wasn't bad enough their leader Sato was dead and most of them were out of chakra and without leadership and were only successful in stalling thankfully they had a ninja from the Yamanaka clan with them so they could call for back up, but who could they call, all the ninja were busy at the other end of the battle field the only Shinobi who was close enough for them to contact was the ones who were at the stadium, there was only one shinobi who's chakra signature Chiruku knew and that's when he hit upon an idea.
He suddenly remembered Kiba sensei telling him about the famous ninja of Kumogakure and most famous among them was their proctor, the man who had refereed all their matches the master of the 8 blades and the wielder of the great sword Samaheda.
The answer suddenly seemed simple looking back at the shinobi he made his plan and so using sign language he sent a signal to his comrades, although they seemed confused at first they did as Chiruku asked and readied themselves.
On his signal the shinobi as one threw smoke and flash bombs toward Hideki, creating large explosion of light and smoke. With Hideki distracted the shinobi were able to retreat from their original position and formulate a plan this is where he discussed his plan: "look guys Sato is dead and before dying for better or for worse he made me the leader of this group now I am not foolish enough to say that I know best." "Here is my plan: this guy seems to have a special ability and none of our jutsu or weapons is strong enough to affect him so I suggest we call for help."
"As far as I know there is only one person who can help us now and that is the host of the Hachibi and wielder of the Samaheda: Killer Bee. I say if we can contact him and get him to help we can protect the Daimyo..."
A Suna Chunin named Koichi interrupted him and said "hold up Chiruku san what makes you think that Killer Bee would help us and what makes him so worthy why not someone else, why not one of us?" Chiruku shook his head and said "I'm afraid not my friend none of us have the skills or experience needed to defeat this fellow I am aware of this Jashin they practice forbidden jutsu to try and attain immortality. To even gain entry into this cult you have to be an S rank ninja."
"Which none of us are, now as for the means and reason for contacting Bee san is this: he is the closest person who can help. Pointing towards the ninja next to him he said "Takumi here is from the Yamanaka clan and has the ability to send a message telepathically to Bee san." He then looked at the rest of the shinobi and said "anyway that is my plan if you have anything better I'm listening." He said looking towards the crowd.
Then finally one of the Kumo ninja spoke up and said "this may be a long shot but I agree it's our only chance to protect the Daimyo." The others started nodding in agreement Chiruku then turned towards the Yamanaka Nin and said more confidently than he felt "great start the jutsu now." The ninja nodded and made the required hand signs and started the jutsu on his signal Chiruku put his hand on Takumi's shoulder and waited until they found Killer Bee.
Meanwhile
Killer Bee had gotten stuck at the stadium fighting a group of earth ninja and while they weren't that formidable by themselves together as a group they were quite formidable and Killer Bee had trouble facing them all, he had finally finished off the last enemy when he felt someone contact him telepathically, he was about to block the signal when he heard a voice call out saying "Bee sama please do not disconnect this link we are in great danger we need your help." "My name is Chiruku Akimichi of the Hidden Leaf Village and we are in danger we are about 2 miles southwest of the stadium in a military bunker trying to protect the Daimyo." "We are up against an S rank ninja and are unable to defeat him lease we are in need of your help."
Although they were speaking telepathically Bee could sense the honesty and desperation in his voice, but he still had to be cautious with the situation "Oh yeah your that kid from the preliminaries who got axed by that crazy earth kid well then if you really are from the leaf then tell me who is your sensei "my Master's name is Kiba Inuzuka and my teammates are Kenpachi Zaraki and Hanabi Hyuuga." "If you want more evidence, I will offer you more evidence." After a few seconds he heard another voice, "hello Master Bee, I am Master Omoi's apprentice and he has told me much about you, I confirm whatever Chiruku has said so far is true in every aspect."
"Wait I recognise that voice is that you Osamu what the hell are you doing there, anyway forget all that, if what that this guy said is true then that means you guys are in deep shit give me your coordinates." He became silent as the ninja gave him the coordinates and then said "fine I can reach there in 5 minutes at top speed." Stall him until then and try not to die I would hate to tell Omoi his favourite pupil got killed."
"We will try master Bee but please hurry we are no match for him." And just like the link went silent. Bee adjusted his shades and adjusted Samaheda on his back and said "you ready for another fight Eight-O." Bee chuckled at the response he got and in a flash of lightning he disappeared.
Back inside the Barrier
The Battle between the Fox and Dragon had almost come to an end. Naruto had managed to grab Kabuto with his jaws in the middle and with a great effort managed to tear the dragon in half, the scream of pain that erupted from Kabuto almost made Naruto feel sorry for him, almost.
The wound was so great that Kabuto could no longer keep up the dragon form and it took all of his chakra to join himself back together. He had just finished joining himself together when he saw Naruto releasing beast mode.
However even he was panting hard, and fell to his knees for a few seconds until he got back up and started walking towards Kabuto slowly but surely all the while making a long series of hand signs, however what Kabuto found shocking was not Naruto but the two toads sitting upon his shoulders, Kabuto cursed his foolishness he had thought the two sages had gone back to their realm, he tried to move but couldn't, he had already opened the first two chakra gates: Kaimon (The Gate Of Opening) and Kyūmon (The Gate Of Healing.) The chakra from those two gates had gone into healing himself and now he could only open one more gate and so he concentrated on opening it but just before he was able to open the Third Gate: Seimon (The Gate of Life.) Naruto who had returned to Sage Mode finished the last hand sign and with a shout and a massive release of chakra the two toads upon his shoulder shouted in sync with each other "Magen: Gama Rinshō! ("Sage Art: Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant!")
Suddenly Kabuto was caught in a very ancient and powerful Genjutsu hewassurrounded from all sides by four toad samurai, with his mind and body completely sealed between their hands in an illusionary cube of water. Kabuto was unable to escape. The song was a success
Quickly recovering from the major chakra loss, and using the last of his chakra Naruto created 5 shadow clones that quickly split up and while three shadow clones entered Sage Mode and began preparing a Rasenshuriken, another clone entered Chakra Mode and began making hand signs for a Fire Release Jutsu.
While another clone started making another set of hand signs for a summoning, when everyone was almost finished Naruto and the two sages released the Genjutsu upon Kabuto and just as he was released from the Genjutsu he was pierced with Mount Myōboku's Secret Stone Swords which were driven into his heart like a wedge. The only thing that escaped his mouth was a silent scream before he fell dead against the swords.
At long last the snake was dead, but Naruto wasn't going to take any risks he nodded at the two toads and said "do it as soon as you reach the valley." The two toads nodded their consent and disappeared in a poof of smoke. The clones had finally finished their preparations and were waiting for the signal.
When they got the signal, one shadow clone threw the Sage Mode Fūton: Rasenshuriken (Wind Style: Rasenshuriken) directly while the other two drenched it and the surroundings in Toad Oil, the clone who was in chakra mode made a final hand sign and said "Katon: Endan" ("Fire Style: Flame Bullet Jutsu") and pointed it towards the speeding Rasenshuriken. This caused it to burst into flames and covered Kabuto who now lay dead on the floor with the stone swords sticking out his heart, which disappeared in a poof of smoke just before the flaming wind shuriken reached Kabuto and ripped Kabuto's body to shreds, before the fire consumed and burnt his body to ashes.
Even then Naruto did not stop. The clone that had previously been in chakra mode ascended into beast mode and shoot a tailed beast ball causing the landscape within the barrier to turn to rubble. One by one the Naruto clones cast their jutsu and disappeared in a poof of smoke, until only one clone was left: he then made the following hand signs: Snake → Boar → Rat → Dragon → Boar → Dragon → Tiger and then slammed both his hands on the ground and said "Kuchiyose: Gamaguchi Shibari" ("Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind.")
This last jutsu caused the battle field within the barrier to turn into the digestive tract of a giant toad. Naruto smiled and said "let's see you escape that Kabuto, this is the stomach of the giant, fire-breathing toad, and this jutsu will slowly digest any and all organisms until there is nothing left but barren land." "Goodbye and good riddance Kabuto." With a harsh laugh and a single hand sign he lowered the barrier and disappeared in a poof of smoke.
A/N well it seems Kabuto is dead and Naruto has won the battle but what a battle it was, truly a battle for the ages but the land is now barren and filled with traps, how will the Raikage feel about that and what about Killer Bee, Chiruku and Hideki, will Killer Bee be able to reach in time and what about the battle going on Outside the barrier. Find out the answers to all this and more on the next Chapter of By Executive Orders.
