Chapter 9. a pickle for a tournament.
Jack hanma was many things, a former drug addict? Yelp. One of the strongest people on the planet? Yelp. A man that was willing to kill himself for revenge? Yelp. A man that likes to bite any and everything to a point he even tried to eat bones with false teeth? Yelp.
Out of all the things Jack was, one of the things he could never be was... a man that understood how in the hell Naruto was able to get him to work for him! This was what Jack hanma was thinking right now, as he was busting his ass off trying to fill every order that was coming in.
Jack looked up and handed a bow of ramen to a customer. Right now he along with Ichigo, katara and his current bain of his existence and boss Naruto, was at the first tournament of the year for shinshinkie.
Naruto on the other hand was more occupied with what him and Tokugawa talked about last Wednesday, as it had him really troubled.
-- flashback --
"are you out of your god damn mind?" Naruto exclaimed, as he was really wondering if Tokugawa was trying to get someone killed or just disfigured some people?
The short old man actually took offense at Naruto's implication of himself. "Naruto I promise you I have taken great care to make sure nothing will happen to any of the on lookers at the tournament."
Naruto actually started to leak KI at Tokugawa's words. "old man you know damn well that's not fully what I'm talking about! No it's the fact that damn caveman of yours is going to at least full disfigured someone. What do you want to see someone lose a arm or leg to the son of a bitch!?"
Tokugawa took a step back, as he could tell Naruto was actually getting really pissed off at him. "come on Naruto I doubt that will happen to anyone fighting pickles... besides you will be right there in the same room, so if anything gets out of hand you can step up and stop him."
Naruto let his KI rest, as he said, "fine but know this Tokugawa if you keep playing these games you will get people killed. As you are dangling poisoned drugs in front of drug addicts. You will eventually get someone killed." Naruto then walked away know this will turn out bad.
-- flashback over --
Naruto was in truth a hundred percent ready for this stupid ass plan of both Tokugawa's and Doppo's to blow up. He might not want to kill pickles but if it came down to it he would.
Naruto stopped his train of thought as he heard a fromilar voice call out to him. Looking over it was Doppo orochi him self, beside him was a Chinese man that looked too be in his early 20's.
The young blond walked up to the two and said, "well well well, if it isn't the host of the tournament him self Doppo orochi... glad to see you again karate gramps."
at hearing that Nickname Doppo and the other man both chuckled, Doppo then said, "good to see you too kid, I wanted to introduce you to my son... also why is Jack working for you?" Doppo finished with raising a eye brow at the giant of the man.
Before Naruto could answer Jack yelled out, "good damn question, I'm wondering how he convinced me too this mess as well!"
Naruto just looked back and then turned to the two once more. Naruto then said, "I'm his life couch for getting off steroids. Also he lives upstairs from my restaurant now. Anyway names Naruto uzumaki. " Naruto said as he extended his hand to Doppo's son.
Said man fermaly gripped said hand and shook it, "Katsumi orochi, also I already know quite a bit about you and some of the things I heard from my dad and Retsu is truly amazing. Did you really beat Retsu and two other Kaioh's at the same time?"
Naruto chuckled at that as the last few weeks people have been asking about as apparently Kaku had made good on his word about spreading his name and legion around. "yeah I did, they put up one hell of a fight as well."
both orochi's sweat dropped at that. As beating just one Kaioh was a amazing feat by itself yet alone fighting the three strongest ones in the past hundred years, one of which that can fight the ogre Yujiro hanma himself... well that was just straight out insane.
Katsumi just scratched the back of his head at that and said, "yeah well... I need to go and get ready for my match against the caveman. It was nice to meet you Naruto." with that him and Doppo walked off.
Naruto was at least some what glad to hear about that at least someone on Doppo's level was going to fight that monster, but he was still going to keep a eye on the match just in case.
-- some time later --
Katsumi was now in the ring ready to fight the pickled caveman. Over the past couple of weeks he had been training with Kaku Kaioh on a very secret technique. At first he couldn't use it with out nearly breaking his hands and legs. Hell he hate to think what would have happened if he tried to use it in a real fight before he mastered it. Most likely it would have ripped his arm or leg off of him, but now he was fully ready to use it to day.
The announcer started with, "too day we have a very special treat for you all. Thanks too the mister Tokugawa coming together with aware own Doppo orochi we have one last match for you to day. In the blue corner is aware own Katsumi and in the red corner, you may have heard of him... a caveman that was found killing a dinosaur still alive in a salt deposit, let's hear it for pickles!"
as soon as his name was called the giant still cage doors was open up and the caveman came walking out. He stood seven feat tall and had very long hair, his nails were more like close. He also had on a pair of pants. But all that paled to something else. Something Tokugawa was at a lost for, as he wasn't like this before he got here. Pickles eyes and vains were pitch black.
The young martial arts was taken back by this but never the less was ready for a fight. As the bell ringed Katsumi charge the large man and delivered a kick to his face that sounded like a wip. But it only moved the caveman's head a bit. Katsumi then gave a few more hits with his arms and legs, each one harder than the last, but all seemed to barley even fazed the feral man.
After Katsumi was done he jumped back and waited for a response. It was then everyone there heard a voice over head say, "pickles I think it's time for you to play." like magic the caveman came to life and disappeared only to show back up with his claws slashing deep cuts into katsumi and sending him in to the bleachers.
The young martial arts looked up and seen the caveman moving closer to him. But before pickles could get any closer he was meet by a foot to his face that sent him flying. Looking at this new fighter katsumi seen it was Naruto and shortly behind him was Jack.
Naruto looked on as pickles got up not even hurt by the attack, which surprised the former ninja as he put the same level of strength he did in to that kick as he used against Yujiro hanma. Naruto then looked over at Jack who was taking his shirt off and said, "Jack you take it up from here as I need to go and fight zetzu."
Jack just nodded but before Naruto left he said, "also Jack... do not hold anything back at all." with that Naruto disappeared and Jack activate both his demon back and his tailed beast mark. Jack then started to walk forward and said as his foot steps was breaking the ground, "this is going to be fun."
-- with Naruto --
currently the former ninja was jumped from one place to another looking for the piece of shit that's been messing with his family for hundreds of years. Naruto then seen a the Jack ass over the ring at the very top of the building where no one could see him. At that moment Naruto lost it, he ran as fast and hard as he could before zetzu knew it a full powered kick from Naruto had sent him flying halfway across the city. The impact from it shook the entire building and when he land it created a impact that shook the ground for miles.
Zetzu already knew who just kicked him and in truth while it did hurt that wasn't why he was regretting not just stealing that caveman and running away. Now he had to fight this monster. Well at least he had Madara's old body, that was strengthin by hashiramas yang cells and a white zetzu base.
Zetzu has to move quick as Naruto came in with a full strength punch that did far more damage then zetzus landing. Zetzu looked up and seen Naruto's yellow glowing eyes as he said, "zetzu you should have just staid dead with that bitch for a mother of yours!"
-- back to the ring --
Jack rushed pickles and swing as hard as he could, sending the caveman out of the ring, through the stands and straight through the walls and out of the building and into the parking lot.
Pickles got up and turned to one of the cars nearby, he then proceeded to pick it up and used it as a club when Jack came out side. The last thing Jack was expecting was a car to come slamming down on to him but what pickles didn't expect was for said car to explode, which sent himself bouncing around like a pin ball.
Jack for his part was glad the tailed beast mark was able to make him able to handle both the explosion and the heat from the fire, as he kicked it off of him. As he got up he seen pickles had also gotten up as well. The two then changed each other like two animals.
Pickles tried to claw at Jack's fack but made a crusle mistake as Jack bit two of his fingers off as he upper cut the caveman out of the parking lot and on to the roof. Jack then jumped up to the roof only to be meet by pickles yeah to which Jack kicked him off and nearly off the roof.
The two biting monster's looked at one another. Pickles missing fingers was regrowing and the chunk that was bitten out of Jack was almost completely regenerated.
They both then then heard a voice say, pickles that's enough." as zetzu shown back up with his clothes ripped apart, not to long after Naruto shown up as well. Zetzu then said, "mark my words Naruto uzumaki I will be back and I will destroy you!" zetzu and pickles then sank into the roof just in time to dodge Naruto launching blades at them.
"DAMN It!!!" Naruto screamed and then ran back inside while yelling, "Jack come on we need to check on katsumi!" too which Jack fallowed shortly behind.
-- back at the ring --
as they got back they seen Doppo and Tokugawa around the down man, as they got next to him they seen the attack was worse than they originally thought. Katsumis chest wast ripped open and even was his rib cage.
Tokugawa looked up at Naruto in shock as he said, "you were right Naruto, this is all my fault."
Naruto got down beside the down man and said, "no it's not, this one is own me." Naruto then grabbed katsumis hand and started the process of giving a tailed beast mark.
Doppo was going to ask what he was doing until he seen his son's cuts begin to close. Katsumi then open his eyes to show the same golden ones Jack had earlier but they then faded back to normal as he passed back out.
Doppo looked at Naruto amazed and asked, "what did you just do?"
Naruto extended his hand and said, "would you like to find out." Doppo grabbed it and he felt the power flow into him as the scar's begin to disappear and he even begin to regrow his eye. But the most shocking was Naruto's own memories flashing before him.
The former ninja got back up and told Jack, "Jack go check on Ichigo and katara. Make sure they are ok." Naruto then begin to talk with the two old man until the medic shown up and Jack left to do just that.
A/N. With that this is officially the longest story I have written for this website. Now on to the sponding to a review.
Agurra of the darkness- ok edge lord, while I'm glad you like the twist that I made, you actually lost all right to complain about the grammar as soon as you clicked on the story. After all three is a warning in the description about that.
Also the resin Yujiro is still alive is for collection of DNA and sperm so they can make super soldiers. I didn't explain that as I thought it was obvious... anyway glad you like the story.
