Also this Chapter isn't part of the timeskip -DDOTS
Primus had been in this situation before. While the sun that warmed his bareback wasn't as hot, it was dirt under his bear feet not the scorching sand of Tatooine and the crowd raised above to watch the bout didn't contain any other beings it was still littered with the elite or those with enough affluence to oversee. He noticed Lord Hokage, eyes seemingly taken in the battlefield of where the duel would take place. Primus in a way felt good not having the old man's eyes on him since everyone else seemed to be complete enraptured by his prosthetic arm. Primus continued to subtly kick dirt over one of his spare lightsabers hiding it from view.
Seated on the Hokage's left sat a young man in more ornate attire yet on fan like headpiece the symbol of the Land of Fire was etched in gold. On his right was the representative of the Land of Rain. To say he wasn't stunned by the woman beauty would be a flat out lie. He knew better – from past experiences – that women and fights don't mix. Yet her blue hair accentuated by her flower and those startling bright amber eyes would make any man weak in the knees yet he couldn't help but feel a little angry. Here he was wearing only pants showing off his body with the numerous scars that varied in grotesque while she kept her body hidden behind a black robe…what up with that!? On her right the last two were the Ka-zay-kage and the wind da-mino.
Leaning on the railing was none other than a bound Vader whose rage came off in waves stifling any attempt at conversation in the box. Not that the woman or the two kages minded. He spotted Guy and his rookie team seated below the box.
His watched his opponent preparing to face him. His opponent turned out to be a very tall man with jet black shaggy hair that came to his shoulders and cold blacker eyes. He's a lithe fellow and his skin that was bronzed from sun. In his hand he held a katana and on his waist were two more. His name was Kin d'al Cazarosta and is considered to be one of the greatest swordsmen Suna had ever produced. Not once had he ever have to draw a second sword in combat.
Primus got excited when Guy told him about his opponent apparently both the Jonin council and the Hokage himself thought it would make him consider having someone champion him. They were wrong.
He saw a man obviously the one who brought the attention of the Sith Order to the Ka-zay- kage and Wind Da-mino, spoke in a loud clear voice about the agreements arranged by the duel.
Primus tuned him and inhaled deeply allowing the darkside to rush over him. He felt the beast that was the incarnate for of his decades of pain, misery, and rage roar out defiantly against his restraint.
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory…" He repeated as a lightsaber flew from his waist to his outstretched right hand. The blood-red bar came to life with a snap hiss which caused the man to momentarily stop as Primus slid into the Juyo stance.
Primus watched as the smile slid off of Cazarosta face. Apparently Suna wanted to end this quickly and take both Sith Lords back unharmed…it seemed like that wouldn't be the case.
"…you may now Begin!" The announcer said and the two immediately clashed.
Flash Back: 2 Weeks earlier
Naruto, Sith Apprentice, kicked the covers from his bed and swung his feet over the edge, resting them on the cold floor. The sun hadn't risen over the horizon yet he could see in darkness of his room. He closed his eyes as he tilted his head from side to side; straining to work out the knots in his neck and shoulders. He brought his scarred hands to rub the sleep out of his eyes before he rubbed out the pillow fibers the clung to his short hair.
He finally rose with an audible grunt. Taking a deep breath, he exhaled slowly, reaching his arms up high above his head as he stretched to his full height. He could feel the sharp pop-pop-pop of each individual vertebra along his spine loosening as he extended himself to his maximum extent. Satisfied, he lowered his arms and head towards the restroom to make himself presentable. Afterwards the young apprentice quickly dressed into some black pants and grabbed a jacket from the nearby closet and headed out. He used the Force in combination with his chakra to propel him as he raced through the village. It wasn't long before he reached the training grounds...two minutes at the most. Yet even being ten seconds late would be enough for Vader and Primus to dish out punishment.
Arriving he already saw that his master, Vader, was there sitting untop of the middle stump of the training grounds. Naruto saw that his master sat barefoot and naked from the waist up and that sweat covered his body. Naruto also caught the scent of ozone that hung in the air. His master had been for quite some time training long enough to work up a sweat.
"Naruto." Vader said not opening his eyes.
"Yes, master?" He responded curious what today's lesson would be.
"Tell me…" He began opening his eyes to stare at his apprentice. "What are your plans for the future as a Sith, given all that you have learned in our time together?"
Naruto stared at the ground and considered his answer. The year so far had been a wild ride for the Uzumaki twins. From their increasingly rigorous training and learning the truth about the Uzu genocide.
Upon learning that his ancestral homeland was wiped out by his village sprouted doubt about Konoha that ultimately became hatred through Vader's Sidious-like manipulation. He never considered the future seeing how he couldn't put his plans into motion until he was at least Chunin.
His goal was first and foremost is to leave and rebuild Uzushiogakure, and then burn Konoha to the ground in revenge and take their place as one of the five great nations. So much had to be done to achieve this but he was young and being taught the secrets of the Sith by someone who's power and skill, while unbelievable at an age so young, would be his.
"I want to burn Konoha to the ground." He said as he felt the anger in him spark.
"Is there nothing else?" Vader asked as he bore down into his apprentice.
"That is what keeps me going master." Naruto responded as he raised his head to meet his master gaze.
"Is their nothing else?" Vader repeated as Naruto shook his head. "I wanted your goals as a Sith. Not as Naruto Uzumaki. Your goal as a Sith is the pursuit of power and knowledge. If you don't have power then all you and your sister strive for will be for nothing. If you don't know anything, be it about your enemies or the world, then how will you combat the forces of the status quo that would crush that goal?"
In his words was truth for the young apprentice. Naruto head returned to face the ground as he thought on this.
"You can meditate and contemplate on this later. Now is the time for your drills." Vader said as he tossed the young man a broom stick shaft. He wasn't ready for a lightsaber the burn marks from his and Vader only intiail exchange was proof of that. Naruto snatched itout of the air and slid into his combat stance. The early morning chill made goose bumps crawled across his skin, but he ignored the chill as he began to practice the aggressive forms of Djem So.
His muscles groaned in protest, his joints clicking and grinding as he moved carefully through a variety of sequences. Slash. Feint. Thrust. The calloused soles of his feet crushed branches and leaves that he landed on. At first it was slow but then movements began to pick up speed. The air hissed as it was split again and again by the shaft that had become an extension of his very being.
Naruto over the course of Vader rigorous training no longer was skin and bones. He now was now lithe and lightly muscled, the perfect combination of speed and strength for his version of Djem So. He leapt high in the air, his broom stick arcing above his head before chopping straight down in a blow powerful enough to cleave an enemy in two. His feet hit the hard surface of the ground with a dull crump, as he landed. Naruto, under Vader's ever watchful eye, now moved with fierce grace and terrifying intensity yet it was nothing like what his master was capable of.
"Yo." Primus voice ranged out as Naruko followed behind the Sith Lord. Naruto knew better than to lose focus during his drills. Yet the conversation between the two caught his attention.
"You're late Primus." Vader spoke as he acknowledged his fellow Sith. As Naruto continued with his drills he felt the Force radiating from Primus' hand. Out of the corner of his eye he didn't fail to capture the subtle glow of whatever it was.
"Sorry about that had to talk to our guy..." Primus said as he forced jump unto the stump where Vader sat hands still holding whatever object they contained. "It seems our dear friend Danzo has escaped justice."
"I see." Vader mumble as he turned his head to face his companion. "But what does to do with that?"
"I our guy has said Danzo is working on building a lightsaber." Primus responded with an unusual glee. "Apparently a source of kyber crystals have been found."
The smile that crept upon Primus face wasn't missed by Naruto as the boy switched from the overpower offense of Djem So into the fast, high flying and unpredictable acrobatics of Ataro. Vader looked into Primus's hand before turning his head up to his fellow Sith.
"Is it really?" Vader asked with the tiniest hint of amazement. It seemed that lightsaber construction for their apprentice would become a reality after all.
"Yep…" Primus responded still smiling as he withdrew his hands. "Also it seems we're in the midst of a tug of war."
"Oh how so?" He asked as Primus leaned to whisper in Vader's ear. Naruto used chakra to increase his hearing as he stepped up the intensity of his drills.
"It seems that Danzo still wants to acquire us…our guy was courier for a mission to Soona-got-her. Apparently 'records' of our Order have been 'found'. Those records indicate that the Order was bound to eternal service to this Da-mino. Technically we are the rightful property of the man." Primus whispered with a smile. "Now the old man is consulting with the both the elders and jonin council."
"Hmm."
"I pretty sure you think of plan of action for us right?" Primus asked his eyes boring into the side of Vader head as if trying to see the plan forming himself.
Vader only nodded. As returned his full attention to Naruto drills. "Don't worry I'll have one."
Hokage Tower, Council Room, Hours Later
Tense.
That was the word to describe the meeting. The situation had played a part in it but it was due cause of out all of the people in the room two were the source of it.
Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Lord Hokage had donned a mask of very strained politeness for on the inside he felt rage at Danzo. He knew he was behind the poisoning of Pac Skywalker but the letter was so vague and in rage Anakin had annihilated his opponents as well as any hope of interrogation. He knew he brought the attention of the Sith to Suna but for what gain? Was Danzo really willing to hand over the Sith to Suna. Whose technology and justu and skills baffled both aged men, and both the elder and jonin councils. He should've killed Danzo for this, the poisoning and Uchiha Massacre.
'What game are you playing at?' Hiruzen thought as took inhaled from his pipe and expelled the smoke into the air. He's heard both side of this extremely long argument. Keeping the Sith is desirable. If Pac allowed them to study his arm and Anakin shared the schematics for the weaponry…technology for the Land of Fire would go leaps and bounds. Not to mention if they were assimilated, which maybe more difficult with Ibiki trying his damndest to interrogate them with his methods going as far as to linking the Emporium Massacre to them, and started a clan…their techniques would be all but secured to the Konoha.
On the otherside handing over the Sith would not only be a show of weakness but would have long term repercussion both internationally and (glances at Danzo) internally. Yet, after reading the demands delivered by their emissaries, hinted that this may come to conflict and the peaceful years of peace that came after the Third Great Shinobi War may highly likely come to an end and usher in the Fourth Great Shinobi War.
"Well Hiruzen, we've been at this all night and it's now late in the morning…it's time for a decision." Danzo stated which caused Hiruzen mask to break a little. He briefly wonder if it would be a good idea to feed Danzo to the wolves….the wolves being; Guy, Kakashi, The Sith and other leaders from various clans who member he 'persuaded' to join the root.
Hiruzen looked over the 'records' of this agreement. While he wonders whether if this was authentic, which he highly believed it wasn't, it was then an idea came to his head.
"The records shown here…believed by many here to be unauthentic. Only two people can possibly confirm this." Hiruzen stated as he took the pipe out of his mouth and took a sip of now cold tea. "Kakashi would you please bring us the Sith."
Konoha Ninja Academy, Sex Ed Class
It was rare for the Sith Lords to be surprised and their faces to show it. Anko sensei explained fully about the virginity ritual and it caused an uproar.
"You can't just force kids to have sex with each other!" Ino screamed in outrage.
"The way you say it make it sounds like such a nasty thing." Responds Anko a little indignantly. "By the time you reached that stage, at least in my day, everyone had a level of trust-"
There was a knock at the door which caused Anko to stop her speech and head to door. Primus and Vader shared a look and after a moment of hushed discussion from the door they were called to attention.
"Skywalkers time to go." She said as the boys picked up their bags. On their way out Primus stopped and stared at his apprentice. The girl kept up a good mask but he read her well. She knew full well about the situation thanks to her accompanying him when he got the info and thanks to Naruto's eavesdropping. Was she concerned about him after all the shit he put her through in these few months? Granted it was not true Sith trainingbut the regimen wouldn't win them any points.
"Don't worry I'll be back." He whispered to her as he once again continued on. Upon reaching the door he was greeted by the tall lanky figure whose hair sliver haired defied gravity and he came to know as Guy's Eternal Rival. Kakashi.
"Sorry for the inconvenience but your need by Lord Hokage." Kakashi stated as he led them to the meeting room. Upon reaching the meeting room they weren't the only newcomers as the emissaries of Suna was here.
"It's seems we're all here." The Hokage spoke as the records were passed into Anakin's hands. "You stated to Ibiki that you learned from the ancient text and histories of your Order. It has been brought to our attention that your Order was bound to the Land of Wind through this agreement, which is signed, by whom I assume is the late Grandmaster Mu Antiochus."
Vader and Primus both looked over the agreement…which they couldn't read. Primus somehow maintained a straight face as he laughed out loud over the mental link. His mask almost broke when he pointed to the sigil of the order on the page…apparently Danzo had believed that the tattoo on Primus's arm was that of the Sith Order not to his pitt master. The two looked at each other before Anakin gave the 'record' to Primus who continued to 'look over it'.
"Yes." Anakin stated taking in the shocked looks of the Konoha council, which even Danzo raised eyebrow to and the barely masked triumphant ones of the sand. He felt Primus's gaze on his face as the argument between the council and emissaries was about to begin. "But." Never had that word held some much power as once again all eyes were on him. "That was signed by the Revant Order."
"Revant Order?" The hokage questioned. "Please explain."
"The Sith have been around for a long time emerging during the period of Warring States to founding of the hidden villages. It was during this, the founding of your villages, that we were at are apex in numbers signing treaties that would allow us to practice our faith with various stipulations depending on the country. Yet Revenants of Revants Order constantly fought each other on top of fighting our enemies."
"Why was their so much infighting?" Asked Kakashi from behind.
"Different interpretations of the texts. It wasn't long before the entire order was brought into the fray and destroyed itself. It was here that the founder of our Order, that of the Sith'ari Order appeared. He recognized that the Sith was weak in it's current state. The old masters were assigned to 7 or more apprentice at a time. To reach mastery is required that you strike down your master and take his place once he taught you everything you were supposed to know." Anakin said as he took a breathe before continuing. "They played the number game on them…and much knowledge was lost. But I digress back to our founder. He found a way to fix this and along with his ten disciples struck down any remnants of the Revants Order. He established the rule of two. One master and one apprentice. One to embody power the other to crave it. It was then that he settled in the Land of Rivers."
"This has nothing to due with Mu signing the-" One of the emissary began before his hands went to his throat as he struggled to draw breathe. Heads turned to Primus whose left hands was raised in the emissary direction as if he was holding a cup. His hand began to close and the emissary attempt to draw breathe became more vocal and desperate as red streaks from his clawing fingers appeared on his throat.
"Shut up because our current situation has a set precedence in our history." Primus said not bothering to lower his arm before he was order to release him by Vader.
"I assume you all know of the Tragedy of Red Rivers?" Anakin asked as heads nodded. Mentally he was surprised by how that little tibbit of knowledge made his way into his mind when he barely paid attention in history. He saw Primus smile out of the corner of his eye as the info on this horrendous and dark atrocity was better known to him yet the circumstance around it fitted so miraculously well. "Well the unsolved massacre of then ruling family was brought on by an ancient agreement such as that. The agreement was brought to before the Sith'ari by his daughter Zannah. He immediately went to the ruling family castle and…."
"And arrived during the nameday festival of those peoples firstborn son. In front of all who were at the festival declared he would submit to his authority in a trial-by-combat but if he won the ruler would lose all that he had." Primus began. Everyone knew what happened next as Primus continued on. "The champion was easily overpowered and Bane slaughtered every man, woman, child. Upon reaching the room where the queen rested late in her pregnancy he ripped her apart with his bare hands. Taking the child from the corpse he bashed it head repeatedly against the wall. And spoke thus 'My anger gave me strength as I struck down those who opposed me. With blood from child untimely ripped let this be the day we no longer bow our head to know man. But only me and those who come after…'"
The room was silent as Primus came down from his speech. The excitement that filled his eyes could only be seen in that of fanatic zealots. Vader thought it was little much but seeing as he was using the darkside to keep his vital perfectly in check as he spun this massive lie he couldn't complain.
"Please my brother. Those stories were told to us during our younger days. It was the dual effort to rid of weakness and make us obedient to our masters will." Anakin explained. "But stories of Lord Bane have always brought out the theatrical side of him."
"Digress dear brother." Primus advised as Vader nodded.
"Bane settled in Land of Rivers but it wasn't until his death at the hands of his daughter Zannah, did the Order move once again to the Land of Wind…now as you've heard this matter can only be settled in a trial-by-combat not with the extreme stipulation that Bane had in place." He said letting the darkside flow into his next words. "If not that than you no claim on us."
While the room was still coming around from 'truth' of the Red River it seemed that Konoha had a silver lining.
"We'll have to discuss this with Lord Kazekage and receive confirmation from the Wind Daimyo." The lead emissary sated as Primus interrupted.
"You'll also need a champion to fight me." Primus stated as he and Anakin walked out. "Make him a good one."
Kin opened his eyes when he saw the half face of Baki standing over him along with two other nobodies. His evening cold pool float had been interrupted
"Baki, you my boy, but the fuck did I say about you walking on water in my shit. You fuckers bring in fucking dirt from the fucking outside on the bottom of your fucking sandals and now that fucking sandals is standing over my fucking water contaminating it with fucking dirt." Kin cursed as Baki face twisted into some form of anger and amusement. Every time the door was opened sand was brought into the house.
"You're need on Kazekage orders." He simply stated as Kin scoffed.
"Little Rasa can go fuck his dead wife and demon daughter." He stated.
"And requested by the Daimyo." It was here the Kin regarded him. He being the son -albeit the bastard son- of the Daimyo former captain of the royal guards, he somehow had innate sense of loyalty to the man. Hell it was the man that sent him to be taught under samurai in the Land of Iron.
"Is it serious?" He asked his eyes looking up at Baki who nodded.
"You'll be fighting in a trial-by-combat for a prize that's highly value." Bakie stated as Kin climbed up from the water and stood a head taller than Baki.
"What the prize?" He asked as one of Baki's nobodies hand him a folder detailing all of the information gathered on the Sith.
"I see…who will I be fighting?" He asked as he stared at the picture and description of the weapon. 'Lightsaber…interesting.'
"Does it really matter?" Baki asked as Kin continued on reading. Apparently these people claimed the un-claimable horrendous atrocious massacre of Red River…nice.
"No it doesn't." He stated as he the group walked over the surface of the pool but he stopped the nobodies. "Clean the fucking dirt out of my fucking pool."
13 Days Later, En Route to Land of Rain
"For the love of God! Please choose some one!" Shouted Mini-Guy aka Bruh Lee' aka Rock Lee as Primus soaked in some rays untop of the enormous carriage. On top of the carriage various leaf nin stood guard along with those patrolling the area the carriage moved on at it's tortoise pace. Inside of the carriage carried the Fire Daimyo's youngest son along with the Hokage, Anakin and some other high ranking shinobi such as Might Guy and Kakashi.
"Bruh Lee…" Primus began. "Some very important people are below and around us okay. They don't need you screaming. Just enjoy the breeze and sleep."
"Do you know who your facing at the end of journey!?" Lee questioned as Primus.
"Lee, death is something you gotta come to terms with my man. We all gonna have to go through that black storm some day." Primus said as he noticed the glances from various nin.
"This isn't a storm your going through!" Lee cried out.
"Maybe it's a hurricane if you like… sand hurricane….i don't think that's possible." Primus said as Lee groaned in frustrastion. "Now that I think about your Leaf Hurricane name sounds stupid fuck."
"What!?" Lee exclaimed as Primus could almost feel Guy turn his attention to the conversation. So far the banter between him and some other nin have made this trip move a lot faster.
"Why name hurricanes lame names, like Leaf? Name that shit 'Hurricane Death You Little Bitch', It'll be the 'bitch' that gets them or be specific 'Hurricane That'll Fuck Yo Life Up'… Leaf Hurricane that a dumb name. Sounds like a guy who can't overcome the fact that he passed his good years and must be youthful." Primus said as he shook his head.
"Well I for will have you know that Guy Sensei came up with that name." Lee said smiling as everyone except Guy and Anakin struggled to keep the laughter coming.
"Sounds like perfect description." Primus stated. "Now if you don't mind please join your comrade at the edge a off the carriage a few feet that a'way."
"No you must pick a champion, the man you'll be facing…" Lee began as he was cut off once more.
"Lee before I drown you out please consider I have not listen to any other person including your sensei, Kakashi and the Hokage. I told the list of anbu who the council selected, majority are traveling with us and right now you, to fuck off until after the fight. I tire of conversation…with you once again fuck off." Pac stood up used the Force to open the door of the carriage to slip in. He stopped momentarily his eyes fixed on one of the nin that served the Daimyo. From what he gathered he possessed an ability to throw thing like Gambit from the X-Men comics he read in his youth. "Thiiiiis guy! Lee come in here!"
Lee moved to the entrance of the large carriage as Primus full attention was focus on the guy.
"So from what I've heard you throw stuff." Primus said as his face gave away no emotion.
"My chakra allows me to tap into the energy of the object and turn it into kinetic energy and I throw it." He said as Primus nodded.
"You throw it?" Primus asks as the man nods his head in confirmation.
"Yeah really hard." He said as he goes into his pocket and pulls out some playing card. "I usually throw these." Primus turns in full circle in the carriage.
"Keep in mind its throw stuff," He says to everybody in the carriage. "So now the main that everyone is wondering what happens when you run out of stuff?"
"Ah you see that the beauty of the technique there is always stuff to throw."
"Oh so you can throw a Uno Card?"
"Yeah."
"Business?"
"Sure."
"How about Chakra the Gathering cards?"
"Where is this going?" Lee asks but was ignored by everyone who faces had somehow twisted into various degrees of confusion or disbelief at the man abilities.
"Yeah it's quite fitting."
"Yeah…No!"
"No?"
"No! No! No! Fucking no! You see with out cards you garbage." Primus explained as the Gambit guy quickly injects.
"It doesn't have to be cards. Same goes for kunai, shuriken… oh I have some change in my pocket cause before we left I stopped and got gyro." He says as Primus shakes his head in mock understand.
"Oh so if were attacked at lunch we would've been in good hand cause you got cards, pocket change and a gyro." Primus said as he nodded. "I should just pick you for my champion."
"Yeah…" He stopped in mid-sentence finally recognizing the sarcasm coming from Primus.
"Are you hearing as speak how lame you are. What if the prince was attacked and your not inside of a 99 cents store or the paper plate aisle of a food market or possibly some nic-nac flea market." Primus said as the carriage grew silent waiting for the man to say something to put him in a positive light. It was not long.
"You see I got the backup…the staff." He says as Primus eyes widen not in surprised but in glee.
"Oh there is a staff." Primus said as he looked at everyone mouthing 'he's got a staff'. "You see that wasn't in the report for candidate champions. Did you train under the waterfall with the staff, hm ta-da-daa?"
"I'm trained with the staff." He says Primus clapped his hands.
"Great and if there is ever a parade we'll put you right up front. You know when I picture you twirling that staff you like the biggest TMNT fan. You look like you brought it to lean as wait in line for the next Twilight book not movie. Also what the fuck are those gloves go fingers or go fingerless not none of this Cat in Konoha bullshit."
"Fuck you I'm leaving." The man says as he kick open the carriage door.
Primus not missing a beat quickly calls out after him. "If my fight was taking place in ball pit I would pick you above anyone else."
Silence held in the carriage as Primus closed the door. He turned to face the old kage and with sad look and said, "I don't think he's gonna champion me?"
"That guy's an asshole." The Gambit-looking-guy muttered as he joined a pair of ANBU nearby.
End of Flash Back
They clashed as red met grey and shockwave sent up dust flying into air obscuring them from the view of the cloud. Kin was surprised that the boy had rivaled him in brute strength and speed but that was slowly becoming false as he felt himself being pushed back. He broke off the stalemate and back flipped away from the boy.
"You're strong." He complimented as the dust in the air was sent flying away by what seemed to be shockwave with the boy at the epicenter. The boy simply raised his left hand and with the power of the darkside fire off bolts of sith lightning. Kin was quicker as flashed a quick series of hand sign before stomping his feet making the earth rise like a great wall. The impact force of the lightning causes it to shake a bit and Kin found himself more impressed.
With a growl using the darkside to give him more power. He hurled himself at his opponent. He felt completely weightless yet gained momentum like a hurled kunai. With a well placed step he force jump untop of the wall and maintained his momentum as he continued towards his opponent with his saber cutting a red streak through the air, aimed hard for his throat.
The old warrior smiled as he raised his blade up and prepared to catch him in a horizontal slash. Yet Primus, fueled by the darkside reacted, he swung dropping into a baseball slide in an attempt make contact with Kin's legs knocking them from under him as his lightsaber trailed behind him like a shark fin. He hit nothing as he saw Kin agility on display. Apparently the man thrust his blade downward to use an anchor as he twisted his body to avoid the red beam.
Kin yanked the sword from the ground and corrects his stance to face his opponent. Who had begun to pace back and forth on the wall his eyes burning with intensity that he only seen out of the Shukaku when it went on it' rampages.
'He has to come to me…his skills in evasion are good and I can't never be sure if it's a clone I'm facing.' Primus thought as he stopped and beckoned him forward. The man raised and eyebrow before shrugging.
Suddenly Kin was moving, charging at increase speed behind furious strokes of his blade. 'That more like it.' Primus thought as he pulled his lips back over his teeth and red met grey once more. The momentum shifted back and forth as the duel raged with and intensity that stunned some onlookers.
While Kin tried to overwhelm the boy with a sheer ferocity and speed he realized that the boy blocked each blow patiently waiting for him to slip up. 'He won't fall…not like the others'. He altered his style slightly as the boy impenetrable defense kept up. As the duel raged across the wall he felt unbearable pain from the inside of his body. It felt as if someone has just crushed one of his kidneys.
"AHHHH!" He cried out as he stopped his brutal assault. He resisted the natural urge to clutch it as he stared at the boy who smiled with glee his forefinger and thumb making a pincer motion. Kin with rage in his system glared at the boy before making a beckoning motion with his hands.
Primus felt as if he slashed fifty times in one instant. Blood poured or sprayed from multiple locations on his body. 'The Hell!?'
'Primus!' Vader yelled over the mental link as he watch the geysers of blood come forth. Primus sunk to his knee as most of the audience went to their feet.
'I'll be fine!' Primus much to Kin's surprised watched as he rose his eyes burning. Primus used the pain to channel into his rage and felt the darkside give him more power. 'This pain is like that from Windu…' That thought brought back memories of possibly the most vicious and intense duel of Primus life. Those memoires fueled an inferno as Primus left the darkside flow through. After a slight moment he pressed the attack with speed that shocked both Kin.
Kin was immediately place upon the defensive as he suffered blows that only grew in more intensity and ferocity. Yet deep inside of the warrior he felt unsurpassed joy. Who knew there was man devoted to the sword as he was! Kin suddenly felt a pull and fore some reason, he dropped his blade and jumped away. While his instinct serves him well it wasn't enough to keep him from being batter by Force repulsion. He watched in awe as the ground gave way. The nearest to Primus was disintegrated by the violent outward push of power and the wall gave way and huge chunks were sent flying into the audience. Ninja, those who weren't knocked down by the violent explosion, quickly moved to intercept only to find all off them levitating in the by Vader. Vader quickly lowered his hands as the rubble hit the ground.
Kin landed hard skidding to a halt as he drew both of his swords. He was salivating at the mouth…this boy had the destructive capabilities of his most dangerous foe. The Third Raikage.
"More, More, More!" He cried as the dust was blown away to reveal the head of Primus as he emerged from the crater. Primus cracked his neck as he stepped out and growled his defiance at his opponent. With frightening speed the clashed once more as Primus's red beam of hatred clashed with Kin's steel of defiance. Their duel carried them all over the makeshift arena as each fought like men possessed. Just Kin forced Primus to reveal his hand Primus forced Kin.
Kin was wily and strong and possessed an entirely orthodox form that made more of Primus's blood redden the sand greatly but Primus, was a master of Juyo and Vaapad, younger and near infinite stamina due to slipping deep within the darkside. Primus fell deeper into it as Kin began using various justu. Shadow clones, barrages earth bullets and summoning of lizardmen who wielded scimitars. None had an effect but to only enrage Primus. That was until something sent connected with Primus face causing him to spin twice before falling flat on his ass and lightsaber to roll uselessly from his open hand.
Primus saw the beast emerging from the hole in the ground and it took it's place in between Primus and Kin. Primus struggled to rise to his feet his head still hurting yet turning his attention to the beast he spat out the tooth he lost and wiped the blood from his lips.
Vader POV
The beast in front of Primus was a walking trophy of previous kills. Two and a half meters tall, massive shoulders and upper torso encased in jagged primitive armor that clearly was a patchwork of various ninja headbands. Unlike the other lizardmen Kin had summoned this one face was covered in ritualistic scars, and stitches that that held together patchworks of human and lizard skin. The beast moved towards and picked up the tooth that Primus spat out. It examined it momentarily before opening it mouth and finding an empty place twisted it until lodge in place. The beast attempted what was a smile but it put to much strain on the stitches that held it face together.
'An insult.' Vader thought as he leaned forward eyes trained on Primus. His fellow Sith cracked his neck and flexed his shoulders before crouching down like a sprinter. He noticed that Kin had taken his place among those in the box apparently he thought his summon would be enough to beat the boy.
Vader felt Primus rage grow and rage was good… and something extraordinary happen. Primus yelled out his rage to the beast as his various parts of his body opened up holes in his flesh. Initially blood in quantity that signified death poured from these wounds but it stopped when bone began to spread from the holes in his flesh. Vader watched as Primus was encased in bone and blood armor and realized it was taking the form that Primus spent his years as his Sith encased.
His blood- which had become blacken and solid- had taken the form of the leather he usually wore underneath his armor. The bone despite initially being white had blacken as well forming the armor that covered his neck, torso, arms and legs. The bone made up the majority of the helm while the black blood created the visor.
"Is that his kekkei genkai?" Vader heard Tenten ask Might Guy.
"I do believe so." Might Guy says as Vader committed the term to memory as he watched his friend lower himself till his head touched the ground. It was silent moment that the beast didn't waste as it ready itself for combat.
Primus took off and closed the distance between them in seconds. 'He's slower than before he put the armor on.' Vader noted to himself.
"Is that boy mad?" The young prince asks as both of Primus's hands shot up and grabbed the beast by its throat and with force began to apply pressure that took the beast by surprise.
Vader saw the tendon in the neck beginning to give way to his assault not wasting any more precious time till the creature recovered from the shock that its opponent would face him in direct combat Primus with strength that astounded some executed a spin to slam the creature down unto the ground. With a feral yell Primus raised his right hand with his fingers curled and with of the Force sent it deep in to the Beast. The Beast let out a scream of pain grabbing Primus face first and throwing the Sith Lord away from him. Primus landed agilely on both feet and summoned his lightsaber to him.
"You should head back down there." Vader advised to Kin who ignored him but the man was already on his feet surprised that Primus had awoken a technique.
Primus snarled and once more charged the beast. The Beast wasn't shocked this time and caught Primus with its wide swing knocking him with enough force to send him crashing through the makeshift stadium walls.
Vader wasn't at all surprised to see that Primus was already on his feet already slipping into Juyo stance. The Beast cocked it head to the side as if curious on how the boy survived both the hit and the impact. Yet the beast didn't dwell on it long especially when Primus began to advance towards it. Smiling the beast began to flash hand signs but Primus had once again crossed the distance yet he was seconds slower than before.
'He's either hurt or the bone armor is weighing him down or…' Vader stopped that train of thought just Primus drove his saber to the hilt into the Beast's stomach. It roared in agony as it instinctively reached for Primus grabbing him once again by the head and began to apply pressure.
"I will not die!" Primus yelled as he pointed his curled fingers to at the beast and sent forth Sith Lightning. The pain slackened the beast grip enough for Primus to land on the ground.
'That should've ended it.' Vader thought as he moved forward as Beast howled into its hands in agony. Primus wasn't unscathed as his helm had cracked from the pressure as lines criss-crossed the surface. Yet like the fighter he was didn't waste the opportunity to press the advantage. Recalling his lightsaber to his hand from the Beast's gut he proceed to hack mercilessly away at both it hands and later it face.
"You should head back down there." Vader advised as Primus succeed. The head was a charred mess yet Primus only let up to retrieve his tooth. With the help of some with Sith Lightning placed it back into his mouth. Rose from the defeated beast and proceeded to tear away his broken helm.
"Get your ass down here!" Primus yelled at Kin who seemed shocked that his creature was bested. Kin sighed and with series of hands placed his palm on the ground to summon more lizardmen. Once again the battle was joined as they rushed to meet their foe.
Primus after decapitating the last of the lizardmen was once again locked in combat with Kin. Primus rage had reached newfound heights and it was then that the final act began to play.
For one night only the audience watched the spectacular play. This was 'The Death Kin d'al Cazarosta'. Kin knew that much –it being confirmed when his most powerful summoning was dispatched so easily- but he embraced with a passion that only be found in the greatest of those who enjoyed their craft.
He was already dead. The rest mere detail.
The show was still on; the comedy of blades meeting lightsaber in their flashes and snaps. For a one time performance, the audience saw Samurai and Sith and Sith and Samurai; each spinning, whirling, crashing together, slashing and chopping, parrying, binding, slipping, whipping and ripping the air around them with snarls of power.
The play goes on for everyone but Kin the suspsense is over. It has become a mere pantomime. Meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Kin's decades of combat experience had become irrelevant. His mastery of his sword craft useless. His justu, that went up against the likes of S-Rank ninja and other noteworthy shinobi, laughable jokes. His loves, reputation, wealth, dreams and his baby daughter had become chains that bowed his head before the red blade of his executioner.
Cazarosta foul mouthed comedy had degenerated into a lowest of all melodramas, and no one who lived by sword would mourn the tragic passing of this hero. That what stung him the most.
For Primus he was back on Hoth. He had long become apprentice to Darth Sidious and needed to take out a threat to his plan. His former master…their bond went deeper than that…his father. He didn't remember the conversation he had with Windu…maybe there wasn't one…talking had long since been over and it was time to end this.
Every time Kin flew at him sword flashing. It was Windu purple blade rushing foreword and Primus sending him flying back. Kin landed hard on the ground and struggle to get up. Primus saw himself.
He burning as the cold breeze of Hoth offered relief. His right arm remained attach to his should by a thin piece of flesh. His legs were destroyed and his face was an unholy mess. He watched has Windu made his way towards him. He lost an eye and his left arm, his leg was damaged to the point that a prosthetic would have to take it place. He knelt down before Primus tear streaming down his face.
'I'll tell them all, Skywalker and Jacur that you died a hero. The Republic will praise your name and we of Jedi will honour your memory. I'll make sure of it. Go gentle into that darkness and you find peace in the Force.' Those were the last words spoken by Windu to Primus as he left him there to freeze to death.
Primus didn't know how long he remained their but after blinking in and out of conscious two men stood over him.
"He still lives."
Primus felt his rage go to new heights as the attack become more ferocious. The orchestra of the sound of combat slowly winds down as Primus give a primal yell the activation of his hidden lightsaber goes unnoticed by Kin who loses his right arm as his defenses are breached. With a beckoning motion the lightsaber spin in vertical spiral that take off Kin's other arm. Cazarosta falls to his knee as the audience stands to see the final conclusion.
"Stop the match!" The wind Daimyo yells as Primus levels the blade at his throat. Cazarosta stares at the hatred within the boy's soul it overwhelms him.
'What's punishing you? What has been done to you for you to become this?' Kin thought to himself. "A being like you shouldn't exist…"
Primus could only nod. "That is true… do you know what punishments I've endured for my crimes, my sins? More than you ever would know. I am proof of the absurdity of men's most treasured abstractions. A just universe wouldn't tolerate my existence or that of Vader or our master… a cruel universe continues to extend it."
"I once thought the same but maybe my sins have caught up with me…" Kin looked up at the clouds for one final time. "Tell Baki to tell my daughter I love her…"
"I won't." Primus stated with a look the betrayed the absurdity of the request. Not hesitating as the blades crosses and uncrosses at his throat and Kin d'al Cazarosta is no more.
The scream that erupts from the Wind Daimyo warms Primus's soul like nothing else ever would as he falls back unto the ground exhaustion over taking him. The last thing he sees are the lightsabers being collected by smiling Vader.
