Chapter seven: Death match
Day of the third phase of the Chunin exam
Benji is with a team of the ANBU on the woods surrounding Konoha walls, they are tree hopping looking for area where sand ninjas are preparing a summoning. They found the group and proceed to destroy it, interrupting the summoning. Benji orders the ANBU team members to scout around seeking for more groups like that. Benji moves back to the village knowing that soon it will be the time of the battle of Sasuke and Gaara, and Benji needs to be there to command the defense of the village.
In the arena of the exam Haruka is looking at Hinata and Kiba. Benji had ordered to her keep an eye on them and as soon Hinata got sick and an ANBU member began to treat Hinata she should call two ANBU members that wasn't assigned to the arena. Haruka is hidden on the same room as they are watching the ANBU agent healing Hinata. She knows by Benji that the agent in front of her isn't from the ANBU but a spy from the sound. She had called the ANBU agents as soon she spotted Kabuto and as planned they are waiting to him finish treating Hinata.
On the arena itself Sasuke is fighting Gaara with Gai, Kakashi, Choji, Naruto, Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura and Lee watching it as well many others. After the chidori the invasion begins, as Benji and the group of Konoha tactics and high ranked shinobis predicted a second summoning appeared on the opposite direction of the original one that Benji and the ANBU discovered.
Benji is holding the minigun with his right hand and is with a very large metal back pack on his back with a metal conduct belt connecting the pack to the large gun. The first wave of Sound and Sand ninjas is greeted by a very thick extremely high speed barrier of burning hot metal. The raw shock of the roaring of the four thousand rounds by minute gun scares both allies and enemies making them easy targets to the spirit that is thinning the enemy lines.
Behind and besides Benji the Konoha shinobis are more than glad in having him as an ally. A three headed snake approaches and Benji makes it suffer leveling the gun at the junction of the three heads and cutting a gapping wound on the snake. The Konoha shinobis face the enemy shinobis covering Benji.
Far from there to the Third Hokage the roar of the minigun is like music to his ears. Orochimaru is stunned with the sound and wonder of what kind of weapon could make a sound like that. On the viewers seat Ino is canceling the Genjutsu of the Chunins that where caught by it. Her training with Benji and Sakura gave fruits as she helps Konoha by increasing their ranks. They wouldn't admit but Kakashi and Gai are happy with the back up.
Not so far from there Haruka is removing many kunais from her body. The ambush failed and Kabuto killed all the ANBU agents and if wasn't for her Jouten hando she would also be dead, but her wounds are severe she was stabbed by twenty kunais and those stab wounds are deep. Haruka curses herself for failing like she did, even thought the target was stronger than the ANBU. It will take her many minutes to be fit to combat.
A Sound ninja attacks Benji with a water ninjutsu, Benji fires at the large water ball making it explode harmlessly pouring water over himself and the surrounding area and cutting the ninja on the half with the barrage of bullets. The bullets run out and Benji dropped the heavy machine gun, steam rises when the barrels hit the water, Benji tosses the empty pack away and summons the grenade launcher with a scroll.
Benji wonders from where those black clad ninjas are since originally they didn't attacked Konoha, they aren't from the Sound or the Sand. It doesn't matter much to Benji since they are attacking them he is killing them. Benji leaves the front to the Konoha shinobis going to the arena to aid the Hokage; at least he hopes to be able to aid the elder.
Reaching Gaara Sakura uses her version of the Shinzui hana and gives some damage to the sand ninja, it wasn't stable but it was enough to aid the fight a little until she is caught by the nearly insane Gaara and faint because of the pressure. Ino is trying to aid a badly wounded Konoha Jonin, the battle is still fierce and many are falling on both sides.
Ino let out a cry of fear when a sound Jonin is on the air with a kunai ready to kill her and there isn't a Konoha shinobi there to help her, Ino knows that in her current position she won't be able to dodge the attack. She closes her eyes bracing herself to the pain, she let out a scream when hearing a muffled explosion and something hot splashes against her. Not feeling pain she slowly opens her eyes and sees the legs of the sound Jonin on the ground few meters away from her and blood everywhere.
"You are hurt Ino?" she hears a familiar voice asking, she looks at the direction of the voice and sees Benji moving at her direction reloading a weapon that she had never seen before. "I am not hurt!" she exclaims hugging him. Benji can't comfort her on that moment; he covers Ino and fires at the roof over two shinobis from the sand and sound that were jumping at them, making it collapse over the ninjas killing them. "Ino brace yourself." Benji says in a strong yet gently tone. "We are in the middle of the battle."
Ino nods and let go of him. "I will do my best." She replied. "Use this." He tells her handing to her a pistol. "It is easy to use. Point at the center mass and squeeze this." Ino nods while Benji shows her how to use the pistol. "The recoil will be a bit strong but use it wisely, you only have eighteen shots." Ino nods again.
"Sir!" Haruka shouts from a door. "Haruka you are hurt?" Benji asks moving to her with Ino. "Nothing that it won't heal in a short while." she answered. "Okay. Ino you stay with her. Haruka you guard Ino and aid the wounded shinobis from our side." Benji tells to the duo. "Understood." They say to him, Benji reloaded the launcher. "I will go aid the others." He tells them. The two watching leave and shoot another ninja to tiny bits.
"That is really something." Haruka muttered. "It is." Ino agreed. "You are hurt?" Haruka asks to the young Genin. "No, this blood isn't mine." Ino replied. "Good, now let's see if we can save some of our own." Haruka said, Ino nodded and they move to the wounded man that Ino was aiding.
Benji moves to the roof and sees the barrier surrounding the battle between the Third and Orochimaru. Benji shots the barrier with the launcher. He notices the Sound five cringing with the sudden high impact on the barrier that isn't crated by human or jutsu. Benji reloads and fires again and again until all the rounds that he has are depleted. Benji toss away the ammo bandolier and hold the launcher. He moves to the barrier and slowly passes to it to the shock of the ANBU and the sound shinobis.
As a spirit Benji isn't affected by it. Benji's right hand doesn't pass and he looks and sees the launcher beginning to burn unable to pass by the barrier. Benji drop it and is now fully inside the barrier, his shinobi vest also burned but other than that he is unarmed and his spirit Konoha band is also unharmed.
The Third smiles seeing the spirit and the shock of Orochimaru, the spirit was an ace on the hole that Orochimaru wouldn't have means to foresee. Benji sees three coffins of the Edo Tensei, he recognized the symbols of the first and the second Hokage, the third coffin is unmarked and for sure isn't the Fourth coffin.
"Now that is interesting." Orochimaru says in a sneering tone throwing up his arms. "We have a repeated card old man." Sarutobi looks at Orochimaru surprised with his words. "Who would know that you had him too? When I was digging the previous Hokages I came with this interesting corpse, it had not decayed and it emitted an interesting energy." Orochimaru says with a wicked smile. Both Benji and Sarutobi understood what Orochimaru meant, he had Benji's body under his control. "I gave myself the trouble of creating a soul based in what the body knew and trained it. I am surprised in seeing how it grew."
Benji growls angrily and the lid of the unmarked coffin open revealing his body wearing a shinobi uniform with out a village headband. Benji's body opens its eyes and leaves the coffin. Benji charges at his body. "Hissatsu! Desoul!" he shouts slamming at his body and entering it as possessing it. Inside the body Benji finds the copy created by Orochimaru and forces it out of the body.
Both of them leave the body and now spirit and spirit fight outside the body seeking for supremacy of the body. Benji tosses his copy outside the barrier while inside the two Hokages talk with the third. The ANBU members don't know where to look at the Hokages or at the two spirits.
"Why you are aiding Orochimaru?" Benji hisses at his copy. "I know that I am not evil." "He promised me that he would use one of his forbidden jutsus to send me back home." His copy replied. "I know that I can be selfish but I know that I am not like that. That snake fucker must have taken all my principles when created you." Benji spats growing even angrier at the abomination that poses as himself.
"Who knows?" His copy replied throwing his arms up. "Maybe he did maybe he didn't or maybe you would have done the same thing if you had the opportunity." "I am so going to kill you Juichi." Benji tells to his copy. "Ohhh…now you are naming me as the character that represents all that you hate on those who are our enemies." He replied sneering. "I will take that name since 'Petal child' seems too lame besides I am no you anymore you saved me from continuing to use that name."
The ANBU watches surprised the conversation not understanding a thing since the spirits are speaking in Portuguese; they turn to the Hokage fight but still keep an eye on the spirits. 'He knows what I knew before being sealed. He knows my foundations and my way of fighting, this will be hard.' Benji thinks looking at his doppelganger; Juichi is wearing the same shinobi clothes that Benji's body is. Benji is using the same clothes that he used when facing Miki the cloud kunoichi, taking out the fact that he is with the Konoha band on his neck as a neck guard.
Benji and Juichi's stances are the same, their left foots is in front and their left hands is open as if holding something on the air still in position to block attacks, their right hands is closed into a fist, kept low by the right side. They charge at the other at the same time, they block each other move perfectly and keep attacking and blocking in perfect harmony, fiercely trying to break the other defense and landing a hit.
Haruka and Ino look at the match, both of them shocked with the two Benjis and the fierceness of the battle, savage blows are traded and none landed on the other. Benji leaps backwards and so does Juichi and they toss many shurikens at the other, resulting in the shurikens clashing against the other in the air and falling on the ground. Once again the two spirits charge at the other returning the fight into a short ranged hand-to-hand fight.
The two take distance from the other catching their breaths while thinking on the next move, until that moment they kept fighting and countering perfectly the other movement, even with the different recent knowledge the equal knowledge of both made them foresee the other movement and react properly.
Benji cups his hands together on his right side, Juichi does the same and they shout as one. "Hadouken!" the two fireballs collide on the air exploding in smoke. Benji and Juuichi charge at the other once again. Both of them pack a powerful kick that they block with their attacking legs, they leap back and dash again throwing punches at the other and effectively blocking them.
With a full body twist and a motion that defied gravity Benji manages to kick the top of Juichi's head with his left heel, not wanting to let the opening slide unused Benji gives a spinning kick on Juuichi's chest. Then he continues the move by giving a side kick on his abdomen. He gives a low jump and packs another kick, a side spinning one into Juichi's chest. Benji lands over his left hand and spins his body giving a double side kick on Juichi's chest sending him flying away a couple dozens of meters away, landing hard on the roof.
Benji jumps at the direction of the other spirit and adjust his flight pattern to land over the spirit chest. Juuichi recovered from the combo and tosses a fireball at Benji. Benji dodged it on the air flying to his left and landing on the roof; Juichi tackles Benji and hits him on the neck and chest with a series of punches. Benji tosses a small energy ball on Juuichi and manages to break the combo and get distance from the other spirit.
Juichi rubs his chest, while Benji spits some blood on the roof. Benji isn't all that surprised getting wounded like that, spiritually related he and Juichi their bodies are solid to the other and the damage that for humans would seriously wound a body and spirit are just normal damages for the spirits, after all when you are a spirit all the pain that you get and give is spiritual.
Juichi got more damaged since kicks are naturally stronger than punches and the combo that Benji used was filled with momentum. Benji is injured in a lesser stand but Juichi's combo was twice longer than his was. "Shinzui HANA!" Benji shouts creating a pair of odd looking swords; the tip was broad composed of two separated curved blades that could be when alone used on a wicked knife, between the two 'H' shape joining the blades together and to the blade of the sword was a large, thick and sharp arrow like head with enough space between the blades to guide that smaller blade on the middle of a victim's neck, all the areas that can hold a blade look razor sharp, the sword's blade is twice broad than the hilt and double edge. Juichi creates an exact copy of those swords and they charge at the other.
Sparks flow and tiles break with the intensity of the attacks of the two spirits, the four swords crash against the other with out a form, rhythm or design, there is just raw violence, killing intend and desire to destroy the enemy in a frenetic pace with each blow being parried, blocked or dodged. Haruka and Ino stare to the match in shock with the sheer display of raw violence contrasting to the Hokages' technical fight.
Once again Juichi and Benji leap backwards, getting distance from the other and measure the other trying to find a way to defeat the other. The wind blows their clothes and hairs while they slowly move sideways circling the other. Benji takes the initiative and dashes at Juichi, that a fraction of second later dashes at Benji. Benji tosses the two swords at the other spirit one after the other, Juichi parries the two attacks sending the energy blades away, and they explode when colliding on the roof.
Benji tosses at Juichi a handful of shurikens that the other spirit block causing them to explode, through the smoke screen Benji fires a point blank range fireball. Juichi violently becomes airborne, Benji leaves the smoke cloud and is also on the air grabbing the other spirit, slamming him hard against the ground and punching him on the head many times. Juichi fires a fireball on Benji's chest making him fly away, Juichi doesn't have time to try using the opening because Benji already had recovered on midair and tossed a pair of smaller fireballs at Juichi, forcing him to jump away from the spot.
For the watchers the match is something unbelievable with many powerful spirit attacks being tossed back and forth destructing the roof but not doing much damage on the intended target. Benji and Juichi toss at the other a large array of energy attacks and other special moves that they watched on animes, manga or even video games with out much success, the techniques that Benji created also didn't helped much since Juichi either knew about it or figured it out a way to defend it and the same worked on the other way around.
Ino and Haruka are stunned with the attacks used; the wide variety and levels of the attacks even surpassed the fight of the Third against Orochimaru. Benji and Juichi once again change the range of the fight to hand-to-hand and the attacks still don't land on the other, small energy explosions appears with each blow, it was clear that both spirits found a way to pack damage on the other with out the need of hitting the other directly.
Both Benji and Juichi get on the same stance and shout as one. "Maiagare!" both of them attack the other with a pair of long combat knifes, sparks fly with each contact of the edges colliding against the other, one hit at the other is rendered useless as they are all blocked by the opponent attack. A strike of bad luck hits Benji when he steps on broken tile and opens his guard for an instant, long enough to Juichi back a powerful combo, finishing the move kicking Benji's shoulder and making him fall on the roof.
Juichi laughs savoring the feeling of the eminent victory, Benji tries to get back up but more than seventeen knife hits make nearly impossible for the spirit to pull himself up. "The copy surpassing the original, how delightful." Juichi says clearly enjoying the moment. "I wonder what will happen to you if you are killed like this, a bodiless spirit that should be dead already, what would happen, you would go to the heaven, or to the hell, or even worse you will disappear or wander on his world unable to find rest?"
Benji manages to raise his upper body and is trying to support himself with his hands and knees; he is coughing blood with much more blood leaking from his wounds. "Now is time for me to claim what is now mine." Juichi says raising an energy sword preparing for the killing blow. "BENJI DON'T DIE!!" Ino shouts on the edge of the roof with Haruka behind the ANBU members that are watching the Hokage fight.
Benji's eyes focuses and he moves his body backwards avoiding the killing blow from Juichi, Benji gets up and slashes Juichi's left leg deeply with his right hand sword and slashes Juichi's stomach open with the left hand sword. The other spirit falls on his knees trying to place his insides back inside his body; Benji fuses the two swords together into one. "You stalled too much and now you will die." Benji hisses to Juichi. "There is can be only one!" Benji shouts before beheading the other spirit with a single stroke.
The copied spirit vanishes into light dust, Benji smiles with the victory. He staggers moving to the barrier, he can feel that he will also disappear if he doesn't hurry and take over his body. Benji slowly advances pressing the most serious wound with his free hand while the other is dragging the sword that he used to kill his doppelganger, with each drop of blood dripping from his wounds Benji can feel his strength leaving him with the blood.
Benji passes the barrier but his left hand is stuck, the sword doesn't pass the barrier and Benji drops it. He moves to his body breathing hard with blood running on his chin, passing through his clenched teeth. Benji sees his body half submersed in water and leaning in one of the many tree roots of the battle field. Near his body Benji falls on his knees and coughs hard. He can hear Ino's desperate cries sounding so far away from him; he pushes himself crawling to his body, staining the water with his supernatural life blood.
Benji reaches his body and vanishes. Ino and Haruka don't know if is because he entered on it or died. The three Hokages continue to fight with out noticing what happened, Orochimaru idly watched it for a moment before turning his attention to more amusing matters of the Hokage fight.
Benji finds himself floating in darkness; there isn't light, sound, scents or even feelings on that darkness that surrounds him. 'I don't feel anything…I can't hear anything…I can't see anything…what is this…where is this…why I am here…' he thinks with his mind working slowly and in a sluggish way. 'I can't move…I can't breath…why I feel warm…why it pleasures me…not like Ino's warmth…it doesn't pleases like that…it is familiar…what is this warmth…'
Benji swallows trying to move. 'What is this sound…this rhythmic bumping …tum…tum…tum…what is this faint but strong sound…' Benji tries focusing to hear it better. 'My pain is gone…my wounds are gone…there is warmth…and that sound…what is this…I am dead…I vanished…or I am still alive…what this is…' Then realization hits Benji hard like a ten ton truck. "I am alive! I am on my body! This sound is my heart! This warmth is my warmth!" He shouts feeling his strength returning.
Benji now sees his surroundings and jumps to his feet. (ESTOU VIIIVOOOOOOO!!) Benji shouts, Ino and Haruka hug each other happy that he is indeed alive and moving. "I don't know what you said but die." Orochimaru says to Benji driving his Kusanagi sword through Benji's chest. Ino and Haruka gasp with horror seeing the severe wound, Orochimaru smiles evilly licking some blood that splattered on his face. "Delicious. A very good crop." He hisses.
End of the chapter seven:
Author explanation corner:
The day of the third phase battle: Even with Benji giving to the Hokage as much information as he can remember (please remember that Benji has at least 50 years of 'living' as a spirit inside Naruto, he can't remember every little detail of what will happen, some will and did slip out of reach) he didn't affected the outcome of the day until the period of the end of this chapter.
Benji forgot that Orochimaru was disguised as the Kazekage to watch the battle, as well that Orochimaru was watching the eliminatory battles after the second phase, but Benji recalled the summoning of the giant snake, Kabuto's presence in the arena and his aid to Hinata, and others minor details about the invasion.
Benji was placed with an ANBU group to locate and kill the ninjas performing the summoning of the snake, but there was more than one group (Benji wasn't aware of that), so he moved to the city to aid with the elimination of as many ninjas as possible using the minigun (not even ninjas can dodge a bullet traveling several times above the speed of sound, much less hundreds of them).
After clearing as many as he could Benji moved to the arena to aid Haruka and the others there as he could, as well give to the Third some unfair advantage over Orochimaru, which was sadly countered since Orochimaru discovered Benji's body and used on his own advantage.
Benji's body: Why didn't decayed is a mystery and a secret.
Juichi A.K.A. Benji's soul Orochimaru's cut version: Focusing on negative traits existent on my personality (as well in everyone else's), this version of Benji is totally selfish, seeking only benefits for himself "add more villain motives here".
Juichi is a name that I gave to a character based in a guy that hated me and I hated him back during my school days, we fought often (I really mean fighting, the worse one we used knives against each other, and this isn't fiction, it happened) and hate the other fiercely, the guy is the worse kind of guy possible, so when I need a nemesis for Benji in my stories I use him, with any needed changes or additions.
So when Benji sees 'himself' corrupted, fully selfish, working for evil without caring about anything other than achieving his personal goals, Benji called 'his other self' of Juichi, the reminder of what I don't want to be as a person.
Since originally the two were the same until the moment of the sealing both Benji and Juichi can predict the movements of the other with around 90 percent of accuracy. They pulled techniques from their memories, using everything that they remembered and felt that could throw against the other.
Benji's sentence: Literally 'I am alive!'. Anyone would shout the same in the given situation.
