Authors Note: Hey Dactom here bringing you the (in my opinion) the highly anticipated Chapter 9 hope you enjoy reading it just as much as I enjoyed writing it. ^_^
"Gamabunta!" Roared Minato giving the colossal toad his que as Minato began weaving handsigns before announcing "Katon: Gamuyu Endan!" As he exhaled a large wave of flame that merged with a huge torrent of oil increasing the flames tenfold a storm of fire heading for Orochimaru his only reaction was a smirk as he bit his this thumbs drawing blood then slamming his palms into the ground a gargantuan metal barrier with a demonic face in the center shielding him from the blaze.
"Gamabunta keep that serpent busy I'll take on Orochimaru!" Commanded Minato before vanishing in a flash of yellow light.
"Hmph I'll turn you into a snake skin wallet!" Spat Gamabunta drawing his blade taking a puff from his pipe before discarding it and leaping high into the air.
"Grah I should have eaten you and that annoying pervert when I had the chance!" Hissed Manda barring his fangs and lunging at the toad.
"Haha is this the full extent of the Yondameis skill eh?" Sneered Orochimaru parrying Minatos strike with his Kusanagi sparks shooting off the two men's katana as they struggled against eachothers strength.
"Don't underestimate me Orochimaru,I've had enough of your God complex!" Roared the usually calm natured Hokage a sphere of spiraling blue chakra forming in his palm in almost an instant as he slammed it into his stomach blowing him back hard into the concrete smoke rising off his stomach.
"Heh nice shot,and God complex you say?" Said Orochimaru in a questioning tone getting up a hole punched clean through his abdomen allowing Minato to be able to see right through him. "I wouldn't go so far to say God,more along the lines of the ultimate being." Chuckled Orochimaru the hole in his stomach filling with twisting and thrashing snakes before sealing itself.
"I guess I'll have to do better than a Rasengan to the stomach lets see if those snakes can reattach that twisted head of yours." Said Minato raising his blade appearing to Orochimarus left stabbing at his neck which the pale skinned man dodged by elongating his neck countering with his Kusanagi swiping at the blonds legs Minato vanishing again telaporting to Orochimarus other side unleashing a barrage of stabs that the Sanin countered with slight difficulty.
"Hmph to know you were so skilled with the blade I had no idea." Said the pale skinned man a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Kurokaze the black wind an old Namikaze family heirloom." Said Minato showing him the design carved on the side of the blade.
"Yes well lets see if you can live up to your nickname." Smirked the snake appearing to his left as another Orochimaru leapt to his right both assaulting the Hokage with slashes,stabs and blade strokes cutting him in several places but most of the attacks being parried and deflected by his own blade.
"Very good your the only person besides one other that can nearly match my skill with the blade!" Cackled Orochimaru his clone regurgitating a large black python that quickly wrapped around Minato beginning to tighten its muscles slowly starting to squeeze the life from him.
"You'll need to do better than simply crushing me Orochimaru!" Said Minato vanishing from the snakes hold in a flash of yellow light two clones of himself appearing behind the snow skinned man impaling him with kunai,while two more stabbed the back of his legs causing him to fall to his knees while the original Minato slammed the Sanin into the ground with twin Rasengan the twin spheres of blue tearing off both his arms.
"This village shall not fall Orochimaru." Muttered Minato drawing a three prong kunai bringing his hand down quickly to sever the snakes head.
"Kukukuku!" Cackled Orochimaru as Minatos hand stopped,the cold steel inches away from the smooth pale skin of his throat.
"Dammit,I should have known I couldn't kill you that quickly." Grunted the Yondamei the tongue of a clone of the snake wrapped tightly around his arm staying his blade.
Jerking his arm to free himself the second Orochimaru regurgitated his kusanagi blade that went through Minatos right shoulder with a sickening wet crunch as the Orochimaru under him using both feet launched Minato high into the air then elongating his tongue bringing him back down to the earth creating a small crater.
"Heh now while he recovers from that my arms." Said Orochimaru not even reacting to his lost limbs as his cheeks expanded and his jaw widened before he regurgitated another copy of himself the last body falling to the ground like the shed skin of a snake.
"Dammit he's able to keep up with me even using Hirashi no jutsu." Grunted Minato pulling the blade from his shoulder as he tried to contemplate a plan that didn't involve him using "that" jutsu.
"Hehe I've had toying with you but time to end this while reuniting you with some familiar faces." Cackled Orochimaru forming a long handsign bias two coffins appeared before him.
"Y-you didn't Orochimaru you didn't learn the forbidden technique?!" Said Minato rage bubbling up in his chest.
With a smug grin the legendary Sanin muttered "Kuchiyose:Edo Tensei." Before the coffins opened the third and second Hokage stepping out their eyes white and glazed over while their skin was thin and covered in small cracks.
"Not only did you try to ruin the peace and sanctity of our village but to dirty the name of the former village champions is unforgivable,only one of us is leaving this barrier Orochimaru and it wont be you!" Growled Minato raising his blade the pain in his shoulder numbed by his rage.
"Hmph we will see now meet your fate Yondamei." Grinned Orochimaru pointing at Minato the former Hokage charging him quickly forming handsigns.
Meanwhile on top of a large rooftop...
"Mmmh..Gah...Dammit my head!" Groaned Takaru clutching his forehead a loud ringing going through his skull.
"Finally your awake I thought that guy killed you kid." Muttered Akari Dai and Tenten sitting to Takarus opposite side.
"Phew Baka had us worried for a minute." Grinned Dai helping his friend to his feet.
"Takaru-kun your okay thank Kami!" Sighed Tenten hugging him tightly.
"Alright enough with the mushy shit we still have work to do there several Otogakure shinobi running around it's our job as Konoha Shinobi to cut em down and show em who's village their messing with.
"Ok lets go!" Nodded Tenten pulling a kunai and a few senbon from his utility pouch.
"Got it!" Said Dai flexing his leg being able to move without his crutch just not as fast but his strength making up for it.
"Hey this may seem sudden but let me lead this time." Said Takaru suddenly a serious look across his face.
"What,why?" Queried Dai tilting his head to the side.
"I just want to I know what I need to do I wont let these otonin take my...No our village just like the Hokage I'll protect this village its my home and it's all I know,lets show these Otogakure punks that they can't put out our fire no matter how hard they try to stomp it out!" Shouted Takaru looking at the great Hokage stone faces seeing the Hokage continue his epic battle with the great snake.
"You got balls kid I'll give you that,alright go kick some ass I'll watch you threes back." Grinned Akari drawing her katana as Takaru unsheathed both his blades a rare action he only did when serious.
After a brief second the four shinobi dashed to the ground seeing a cluster of otonin attacking a group of academy students.
"Dai launch the T-cannon,Tenten you get the kids to safety." Ordered Takaru as Dai grabbed the back and collar of his shirt hurling him down directly into the swarm of enemy.
"Haha this is the elite ninja of the leaf what a joke kukuku!" Cackled a nameless masked otonin his laugh interrupted by a cold blade being run through his chest his eyes rolling to the back of his head as he fell to his knees.
"Gah! More bad men!" Cried a small spiky grey haired boy more tears streaming from his onyx black eyes.
"Hey now its ok we're here to stop the bad men ok just look away this part is only for grownups ok." Smiled Tenten picking up the boy ushering the rest of the academy students away from harms way.
"That boy right there he's gonna save us?" Asked the boy he looked about ten or nine but was small for his age his big black eyes looking up questioningly at the kunochi.
"Yeah Takaru's gonna save the day I'm sure of it." Smiled Tenten adjusting the boy on her hip as she brought the kids to a safer part of the academy building.
"You guys picking on little kids you have no shame whatsoever do you!" Shouted Takaru pointing one of his katana at the herd of otonin the group about 19 men thick.
"Yeah so what easy pickings less work for us!" Chuckled a otonin hurling a shuriken Takaru dodging it with a tilt of his head.
"You fucking cowards...ILL RIP YOU APART!" Roared the black haired boy appearing in the middle of the group his twin katana a blur as he cut down the men with little effort the more men he fell with his blade the more his hidden bloodlust got the better of him.
"Suiton: Tsunami Tama!" Announced Dai exhaling a large burst of pressurized water sending back three otonin knocking them unconscious. "Takaru..." Said Dai his jaw dropping slightly the black haired boy surrounded by dead bodies not a scratch on him.
"Teach you to mess with me." Growled Takaru sheathing his blades letting out a deep breath his Iris an eerie color of yellow but fading back to black quickly before Dai could notice.
"Takaru!" Exclaimed Dai walking towards his friend timidly. "What happened?" Said the brown haired boy swallowing hard.
"Nothing just got carried away come on lets go see if Tenten got all the kids to safety." Grunted Takaru cracking his neck. 'Dammit I almost completely lost it this time I thought Anko-sensai sealed this damn thing!' Thought the genin with a mental sigh.
"Hey Ten-chan you in here!" Shouted Takaru as he and Dai entered the academy most of the usual classrooms abandoned.
"I saw her run in here she must have the kids around somewhere but knowing her she probably..." Said Dai before he could finish his sentence Takaru was knocked through a wall by a large support beam swooping down from the ceiling.
"...Set traps to defend herself." Finished Dai with a sigh going over to help him up.
"Who's there oniichan?" Asked a small voice as Tenten walked around a corner several small children clinging to her as a small grey haired boy with wide questioning onyx black eyes was clinging to her back.
"Well look like you have a natural talent with kids." Grinned Dai as Takaru blushed not liking anyone including children to cling so close to his girlfriend as he had a stare off with the grey haired boy on her back.
"Who're these losers oniichan?" Asked the grey haired boy shooting daggers at Takaru.
"Why you little snot gobbling shrimp how about you hit a few growth spurts then talk to me!" Growled Takaru.
"Hey stop it Takaru he's just a little kid." Snapped Tenten setting the boy down with a smile and a tussle of his hair.
"Is that mean baka gonna hurt me?" Said the boy with fake innocence pouting earning even more the girls sympathy.
"Aww no he's just not to bright sometimes,but he means well Hiru-kun." Smiled the kunochi brushing down a tuft of the boys hair.
"Wha! Ten-chan what did I freaking do this little twerp is taking advantage of you!" Exclaimed Takaru as Hiru gave him a smug grin then stuck his tongue out at him.
"Oh Takaru he's just a little kid leave him alone." Huffed Tenten.
"B-but I...Oh never mind." Sighed Takaru seeing he wasn't going to win against the small boy glaring at him nonetheless.
"Yeah anyway I'm glad you were able to keep the kids safe Tenten but our real problem is figuring out what to do now." Said Dai his brow knitting in frustration as he let out a deep sigh.
"I say we go and take out every otonin dick we see!" Shouted Takaru pumping his fist in the air.
"Takaru!" Scowled Tenten smacking him hard on the back of the head as she covered the children's ears.
"Hehe he said a no-no word." Giggled a electric blue haired girl covering her mouth.
"Great enthusiasm baka but we can't take out a village full of enemy shinobi with just the three of us and some kids." Said Dai lacing his fingers together as he crouched down trying to think of a plan of action.
"Hmm what about Tatsuya-sensei he told me to find you two and wait for further instructions before we split up." Announced Tenten as she sat down as two girls began to braid her hair.
"Yeah! Tatsuya-sensei will know what to do lets go find him!" Exclaimed Takaru getting up smacking his fist in his palm.
"And what just leave these kids to fend for themselves...No someone will have to stay with them as we search for him." Said Dai getting up arching an eyebrow as two of the girls braided Tentens hair while a boy was going through her ration pouch eating several medical pills mistaking them for candy as the grey haired boy named Hiru clung to her arm glaring at Takaru.
"Well we can clearly see who's staying with the kids,alright Tenten keep the little ones safe and when we find Tatsuya we'll spike our chakra to let you know we're coming you should know its us coming since Takaru will be with us." Explained Dai since the black haired boys chakra had a hot almost burning sensation to it.
"Sounds good stay safe you guys." Nodded the girl before her head was yanked back as the girls began to place origami flowers made from paper bombs in her hair.
"Cool come on Dai lets get going." Said Takaru sticking out his tongue at the grey haired boy before turning around he and Dai dashing of to find their missing sensei.
"Ah no no no those are bad don't put those in my hair!" Cried the brunette carefully pulling out the tags paper bombs and her hair not having good history together.
"Alright so any guess on where Tatsuya is?" Asked Takaru as he and Dai leapt from rooftop to rooftop.
"Well he taught me how to finely tune my senses so I could sense certain peoples chakra his has a sharp tingling sensation like electricity so I'll give you a heads up when he's near." Responded Dai drawing a kunai preparing himself for future enemies.
"Really wow man Tatsuya sensei really trained you well whenever all this shit is over we need to have a good fight!" Grinned Takaru.
"Haha you and your battle lust Takaru it's crazy." Chuckled Dai his skin prickling as he had a jolt run down his spine.
"What is it?" Asked Takaru tilting his head in confusion.
"It's Tatsuya-sensei I sense him...And someone else." Replied the brown haired boy as the two could feel the crackle of electricity in the air.
"What is that my freaking hair is standing on end!?" Cried Takaru his neck hair standing at attention his spiky hair not changing in appearance at all.
"This chakra is so thick I can nearly feel it!" Exclaimed Dai before a loud chirping sound ripped through the air followed by a slightly muffled voice announcing "Raikiri!"
Looking down from their rooftop position the two boys saw Tatsuya and a silver haired masked jonin whom they recognized as Kakashi of the Sharingan standing back to back fending off 30 otonin each a static crackle surrounding the two.
"We should end this now Tatsuya." Stated Kakashi simply as he knocked a charging otonin into a building with a bone breaking roundhouse.
"Yeah I need to check on my students and make sure Takaru hasn't gotten them killed or into serious trouble." Said Tatsuya chewing on his toothpick.
"Ready?" Announced Kakashi forming a long string of handsigns. "Ready." Confirmed the ice blue eyed jonin forming a similar set of seals a ring of raiton chakra spiraling around the two forcing the enemy to take a few steps back.
"Raiton:Shichu Shibara! Announced the men simultaneously four large rock pillars jutting from the ground surrounding them and the otonin hoard then large bolts of lightning electrocuting a few of the masked ninja the shock going from one man to the other before all of them lay on the ground dead or unconscious.
"Well that takes care of that,I should probably take my leave now Tatsuya nice meeting and fighting with you again good to see the drunken devil of Konoha hasn't lost his edge." Said Kakashi giving the man one of his trade mark eye smiles before vanishing in a puff of smoke.
"Phew nearly broke a sweat,now to find those kids." Sighed Tatsuya cracking his knuckles.
"Wow did I just see what I thought I saw?" Said Takaru mouth agape.
"I-i don't know it happened in like the blink of an eye!" Stuttered Dai never thinking the ever nonchalant Tatsuya was so powerful.
"Hey I thought I told you two to stay with Tenten!" Grumbled Tatsuya appearing next to the boys in a blur of motion.
"Damn! Tatsuya-sensei that was totally awesome and knowing you could keep up with Kakashi of the Sharingan let's say my respect for you is greatly increased!" Grinned Takaru.
"Hey well thanks and...What meaning you didn't respect me before?" Questioned Tatsuya his eyebrow twitching slightly.
"What? Oh no no no no what I meant to say was your now just less lame in my eyes." Grinned Takaru Tatsuya and Dai simultaneously smacking the boy in the back of the head.
"Anyway Tatsuya-sensei we need help Tenten is back at the academy with a few academy students keeping them safe so me and Takaru came to find you so...Any ideas?" Said Dai the sounds of fire and the grunts of battle ringing through the air.
"Yes first off we need to get back to Tenten asap after that I'll think of a plan of action." Replied Tatsuya cracking his knuckles as the three leapt from the rooftop they were standing on back towards the academy.
Back at the academy...
"Gah! Dammit...I think my ass is in my stomach!" Coughed Takaru as he walked into another of Tentens defensive traps.
"Baka!" Sighed Dai walking over to help up the fallen ninja.
"Tatsuya-sensei I'm so glad to see you!" Smiled Tenten her appearance causing Tatsuya to raise a questioning eyebrow as her shoulder length hair placed in a ponytail with twin bangs framing each side of her face a origami paper bomb placed behind her ear while the two young girls clung to her legs while the gray haired boy competing with Takaru for the kunochis affection clung to her back the last boy stuffing his face with random edible objects from her utility pouches.
"Mmmh big bean bun." Muttered the chubby boy reaching behind her for her shuriken pouch in search for more food.
"I...EEEEH!...Jabaru that's not a bean bun!" Yelped Tenten as the boy squeezed harder grunting in disappointment trying his very best to get the "bean bun" in his grasp.
"Hey you tubby little perv get your fat stubby fingers off my Ten-chan!" Exclaimed Takaru and Hiru at once.
"What YOUR Ten-chan!?" Exclaimed the boys simultaneously again.
"I'll kick your fucking ass!" Said the two in unison once more Hiru leaping from Tentens back onto Takaru beginning to beat the black haired boy with a nearby rock.
"Stop you...GAH!...I told you that's not food!" Cried Tenten her cheeks blushing so much she resembled a tomato.
"Eh? What the hell did I miss?" Asked Tatsuya scratching the back of his head in confusion as Dai just let out a sigh.
XXXX
"Alright so we'll have to find the children a safe haven then we'll link up with Hatake Kakashis squad to hold off any otonin threat still lurking in the village,but getting the children to safety is our main priority." Announced Tatsuya as each of them grabbed a child to protect Takaru taking one of the girls while Tatsuya took the other the chubby boy climbing onto Dais shoulders causing him to grunt even with his amazing strength he had trouble supporting the boy while Hiru latched onto to Tentens back earning a glare from Takaru.
"Alright ready?" Asked Tatsuya as the girl on his back began braiding his hair causing his eyebrow to twitch in annoyance.
"Yep...I guess." Grunted Dai the tubby boy on his shoulders causing his shoulders to strain.
"Yeah lets go the sooner we get them to safety the better." Replied Tenten.
"Hey don't put that shit in my hair!" Exclaimed Takaru making the girl cry Tenten giving him a slap to the head.
"I'll take that as a yes lets move out!" Ordered Tatsuya as three of them dashing off quickly Dai giving a loud grunt before getting him on his back and dashing off the join his team.
Dashing quickly from building to building the for finally arrived at a Konoha hospital several jonin guarding the entrance as the old young and sick where being tended to inside.
"Well that didn't take too long." Smiled Tatsuya glad the children were safe and happy to get the girl off his back as he undid the pigtails in his hair.
"Speak...For...Yourself!" Panted Dai sitting the fat boy with a thud.
"Hey were here Hiru-kun." Smiled Tenten tapping the slumbering boy on her back.
"Huh where are we Ten-chan?" Yawned the gray haired boy rubbing his eyes.
"It's ok we got you kids to safety you'll be ok here." Smiled Dai. 'I'm just glad I don't have to lug around that five million pound kid anymore,on top of him and my weights I could barely move!' Thought the brown haired shinobi stretching his back.
"Yay were here I hope they have pretty nurses with long hair to braid!" Giggled the girls in unison.
"I hope they have lots of num nums." Sighed the chubby boy rubbing his stomach walking towards the hospital doors behind the girls.
"Well time to say goodbye kid!" Said Takaru quickly placing his arm around his girlfriend defensively.
"Hmph whatever octopus head!" Growled Hiru pointing a finger at Takarus head.
'Octopus head...he's the second person to call me that maybe I should cut my hair?' Thought Takaru with a scowl teasing a strand of his hair remembering how the princess Ouke from Kirigakure mocked his hairstyle.
"Remember this one day I'll be a great strong shinobi I'll protect...the people I love and take Ten-chan to be my wife and have her birth my child I swear it octopus head!" Vowed Hiru shaking his fist at Takaru his eyes burning with a familiar fire that reminded Takaru of himself causing the shinobi to smile to himself.
"Well that's a great dream kid and I can see your serious,become a strong shinobi blaze your own path and you can...no you will go down in the history books as one of the legendary shinobi of all time...BUT THE ONLY ONE IMPREGNATING THIS GIRL IS ME RUNT!" Roared Takaru putting the boy in a headlock.
"Baka..." Sighed Dai his face in his hands.
"What the fuck am I looking at?" Questioned Tatsuya scratching his head as Hiru and Takaru went at it.
XXXX
"Well now that that bit of business is over lets move!" Ordered Tatsuya motioning forward the four shinobi dashing ahead through the village.
"So after we get to where we're going what's the plan?" Asked Takaru wincing as a sharp pain shot through his scarred right eye his Shakugan activating briefly setting the ground around him aflame.
"Gaah what're you doing Baka?!" Exclaimed Dai dashing back quickly avoiding the blaze pushing back Tenten aside in time.
"GRAAAHHHH! ITS YOUR FAULT YOUR FAULT!" Roared Takaru griping his left arm his cursemark throbbing as his right eye burned like hell itself,his eye and arm feeling like they were fighting with eachother.
"T-Takaru-kun! What's wrong?!" Cried Tenten taking a step toward Takaru trying to place a calming hand on his cheek but being knocked to the ground by Takaru a look of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Dai,Tenten get Takaru out of here he's under genjutsu I'm going to find and take out the caster." Said Tatsuya calmly making a handsign before yelling "Kai release!" Takarus frenzied state lessening as he fell to his knees Dai picking up Takaru letting the black haired teen lean on his shoulder.
"Now go!" Ordered Tatsuya,Dai and Tenten dashing off with a weary Takaru resting on their shoulders.
"Hmph don't want the little kiddies to get hurt?" Asked a dark voice a long spiky haired hooded figure appearing behind Tatsuya a abnormal looking katana with a serrated blade rested on his shoulder.
"You never thought I'd meet you Kariukegai." Said Tatsuya grimly.
"Heh its an honor to face off against one of Konohas living legends "The Drunken Devil of the leaf" lets see if you can make my blade sing." Chuckled the man twirling his katana.
"I promised I'd never do this again but...I can't afford to die right now...desperate times." Sighed Tatsuya pulling a bottle from his utility pouch a clear liquid inside uncorking the bottle he quickly downed the drink after a minute or two his cheeks turned a shade of bright red as his head drooped so his bangs hid his eyes.
"Hehe yes a good fight in this village,show me Junji Tatsuya show these eyes true power!" Cackled the man removing his hood his eyes a deep flame blue color.
"Ugh shut yer fugin trap kid...*hick*...your gonna ruin my buzz." Groaned the jonin appearing to the mans right with inhuman speed his fist colliding with his jaw sending him flying into a building turning a large part of it into rubble.
"Hehehehe! This is what I'm talking about Takaru will have to wait...forgive me my lord this dammed battle lust has clouded my vision!" Chuckled Tanaka rising from the smashed stone the Pentagram shape around his pupil spiraling quickly while the rock around him began to heat up some pieces of rubble glowing red hot.
"Guh another prick that wants to ruin by buzz." Growled Tatsuya the pressure of his chakra causing the earth at his feet to crack and split as static filled the air around him.
"Lets go." Said Tanaka dashing forward quickly raising his blade.
"You owe me a drink fucker!" Roared Tatsuya bringing up his fist Raiton chakra shooting across his knuckles.
Back with Dai Tenten and Takaru...
"Fuck Takaru come on we need to move!" Urged Dai he and Tenten literally having to drag the black haired teen.
"Yeah he's right Takaru-kun that Guy could come up on us any minutes." Said Tenten stroking Takarus cheek softly trying her best to get the boy up and moving.
"I need to...to stop...now!" Coughed Takaru pushing the two off him as he fell back on his behind his cursemark and right eye burning intensly. 'This I can't stand it my eye and arm feel like their at war.' Thought Takaru clutching his left arm shutting his eyes tight trying to cancel out the pain.
"Here I have a few medical capsules in my bag that should help your pain...here." Replied Dai as he handed Takaru three green pills.
"Gah...thanks..." Coughed Takaru swallowing the medicine gratefully.
"We should probably..." Began Tenten her sentence being cut short by several kunai whizzing past her head.
"Fuck why now!" Exclaimed Dai his eyes almost burning bright green with anger as he pulled a kunai from his side raising it to meet his challengers.
"Gah Dobe! They're aren't sound shinobi!" Scowled a voice that made Takarus teeth clench in frustration.
"Huh oh sorry." Apologized a energetic voice four familiar shinobi appearing in front of the three in a flash of yellow light.
"Eh?...AHA! Takaru what's up man!?" Grinned Naruto crouching down to fist bump the Ihara but his smile vanishing when he saw the look of pain on his face.
"Your Tatsuyas kids right?" Asked Kakashi raising an eyebrow as Naruto helped Takaru lean on his shoulder.
"Yeah we ran into trouble and sensei told us to go on ahead." Said Dai putting away the kunai his eye color flickering back its usual shade of dull green.
"Tatsuya did that...must've been a strong opponent." Said Kakashi softly almost to himself.
"So Kakashi-sensei what now?" Asked Ino lacing her fingers together behind her back.
"Isn't it obvious,we take down every otonin that shows their face." Stated Kakashi.
"And about Takaru!?" Demanded Tenten.
"Oh yes almost forgot I've been given special orders regarding if found in the condition he is in now he is to be left alone." Said Kakashi a frown hidden under his mask.
"What! Takarus our comrade orders or no orders we're not leaving him alone!" Roared Dai smacking his fist into his palm.
"Yeah I'll...I'll die before I abandon Takaru-kun." Said Tenten giving Kakashi a icy stare.
"Kaka-sensei? Why do we have to leave him you said yourself shinobi that don't help their comrades are worst than garbage!" Said Naruto gritting his teeth.
"I...Naruto...heh you kids always have a way of twisting me to your will." Said Kakashi giving one of hi famous eye smiles the words of his old companion bringing a tear to his transplanted eye.
"No." Said Takaru firmly standing on his own shrugging off Narutos supporting shoulder.
"Takaru-kun what do you mean no...you baka your clearly in pain and your trying to be a tough Guy!" Cried Tenten grabbing his arm tears in her eyes. "Our village is burning around us and you wanna go it alone you fucking BAKA!" Sobbed the kunochi not knowing if her family was even still alive.
"I...just want to protect everyone...even if its from me." Said Takaru swallowing a sob a familiar black flame pattern spreading across his skin as his Shakugan activated the whites of his eyes turning black.
"T-Takaru?" Sniffed Tenten the ground at his feet erupting in dark purple flame Naruto pulling her back from the flames this time the blaze searing the back of her left hand.
"This chakra..." Said Kakashi his eye widening.
"So this is Takarus power the cursemark right Kurama?" Asked Naruto a bead of sweat rolling down his cheek.
"YES KIT THE DARK CHAKRA I SENSED IN HIS LEFT ARM." Confirmed the great fox grimly.
'This is the cursemark...this same thing I have?" Asked Sasuke mentally placing his hand over his collar bone directly over his mark the seal throbbing slightly due to the influence of Takarus.
"GET BACK ALL OF YOU!" Roared Takaru falling to one knee clutching his head the flames around him increasing tenfold forcing them to step back a couple steps.
"We need to go..." Gasped Kakashi pushing the genin back the pressure of Takarus chakra smashing the pavement around him to pieces the dark flames forming a clockwise spiral around him.
"Dammit I didn't think something like this would happen...we have to go now!" Ordered Kakashi.
"No way you all go ahead Takaru is coming with us even if I have to BEAT HIM DOWN!" Promised Naruto his ocean blue eyes turning blood red with slit pupils red chakra coming off his body like steam.
"Naruto...please help Takaru-kun...I'm begging you." Pleaded Tenten holding her wounded hand over the small crystal necklace Takaru gave her.
"You kids...alright Naruto I'm leaving it up to you don't let me down." Said Kakashi guiding the rest of them away from the great battle about to begin.
"Naruto please I...will...kill...you...run...please." Grunted Takaru grabbing fist fulls of his hair that was beginning to lengthen and lose pigment.
"No way now I'll beat that cursemark out of you if I have too!" Roared Naruto like an animal rushing the Ihara raising his katana Yorukaze red chakra rising off the blade.
Meanwhile at the great Hokage stone faces monument...(A/N: to avoid confusion I will refer to the separate battles by simply writing the characters names.)
"Kukuku to think you keep up with me and put up a worthy fight for so long,maybe that old fool Jiraya was right about you." Cackled Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru I will end you..." Panted Minato he and Orochimaru both scuffed and bleeding slightly from their prolonging battle.
"Hehe your end will come soon just like the fate of the leaf Minato." Smiled the snake Manda spiraling around Orochimaru protectively.
"Hmph this fight is becoming tiresome Orochimaru I demand a hundred man sacrifice after this is over." Hissed the summon.
"I'd have to agree Minato this battle is beginning to drag on!" Growled Gamabunta as Minato appeared on his head in a flash of yellow light.
"Gamabunta I need all the oil you can muster!" Commanded Minato beginning to weave a few handsigns.
"Hmph goodbye Yondamei." Smirked Orochimaru as the second and third Hokage stepped in front of him defensivly the second lord preparing a Suiton jutsu while the third made a Katon seal.
"Gamabunta I'll have the technique ready by the time you release the oil be ready." Stated the blonde Hokage firmly.
"Minato there's another way to finish this we just need time to consider it!" Gamabunta said trying to persuade the Yondamei out of his already set in stone decision.
"...On my signal Gamabunta be ready." Said Minato coolly shooting through a long series of handseals his skin becoming a shade paler but not enough for Orochimaru to notice.
"This ends now...OROCHIMARU!" Roared Minato exhaling a giant wave of flame that increased tenfold thanks to Gamabuntas highly flammable oil the tremendous blaze rushing at the Sanin the smirk from his face vanishing as he braced himself the second hokage exhaled a equally sized attack of raging waves the two jutsu collided in a large explosive discharge a great cloud of mist kicking up.
"Forgive me first and second lord." Said Minato softly a copy of him appearing behind both hokage smashing them into the ground with dual rasengan.
"Hmph good but not good..." Orochimaru began before being cut off by the original Yondamei looming over him a colossal sphere of quickly rotating blue chakra in his hand.
"THIS WILL FINISH IT ODAMA RASENGAN!" Roared Minato.
"Dammit this body is weak I'll only be able to use Senjutsu for a second or two at best!" Scowled Orochimaru running through rapid handseals before outstreching his palm his arm becoming scaled before bones burst from his flesh into a spear shaped form dark purple chakra pouring from his body both men slamming his attack into the others great force shattering the concrete around them.
Naruto vs Takaru...
"Grah why wont you die fox fucker kukuku!" Laughed Takaru madly slashing at Naruto with a katana and his nails that had lengthened into claws.
"Your not Takaru so I wont hold back you creep!" Shouted Naruto parrying his sword strikes then smashing his fist into the Iharas face sending him headfirst into a building.
"Yeah give me a great fight fox boy!" Roared Takaru his hair snow white and touching his shoulders his skin a ash gray color his Shakugan spiraling rapidly.
"Fuck it I promised Tenten I'd bring you back even if it's in a body bag!" Growled Naruto his anger speaking for him a vermilion rasengan forming in his hand.
"Darkness all I see is darkness." Grunted Takaru coming to his senses slightly at the name of his beloved kunochi his hand igniting in dark purple flame.
"Grahhh!" Both boys charged at eachother head on the earth behind them shattering from the pressure of their chakra their jutsu colliding in a huge flash of reddish violent light...
Tatsuya vs Tanaka...
"Hic...damn your...Hic...tough." Said Tatsuya swaying back and forth his intoxicated state increasing his fighting technique drastically.
"Hmph the stories were true this is the power of Konohas drunken devil." Growled Tanaka clutching his side. "Enough games Junji Tatsuya you may be a drunken devil but I am a slumbering dragon! Shakuton: Ryujin no jutsu!" Roared Tanaka blue flames swirling around his body forming an armor like shape.
"Hehe...Hic...I'll get serious too!" Grinned Tatsuya making a clumsy handsign Raiton chakra shooting across his body both men charging at eachother so fast it looked as if they vanished and reappeared in front of eachother.
Takaru: "If it ends like this everything I fought for..."
Minato: "Everyone I strove to protect..."
Naruto: "Will be for no reason if I die here..."
Tatsuya: "If I die here I'm letting everyone die..."
All: "This is my village and I will not let it fall by no ones hand not even my own!"
Naruto vs Takaru...
"Naruto...thanks..." Coughed Takaru a large gash on his stomach his cursemark receded back to the confines of its seal.
"No prob...but its a draw again dammit." Said Naruto weakly both boys back to normal falling backwards into the rubble of the surrounding buildings they destroyed in their fight.
Tatsuya vs Tanaka...
"Hmph you survived if anyone can train my brother I'd be you Tatsuya Konohas drunken devil." Smiled Tanaka Tatsuya clutching a giant gash on his stomach if it were any deeper his entrails would be spilled on the cracked earth.
"No the kids..." Weezed Tatsuya falling over his vision fading fast.
"Hmph big dumb fucker trying to be tough and go it alone...and drinking again you should know better." Said the shaky voice of Anko Mitarashi.
"A-Anko-chan?" Asked Tatsuya receiving a soft slap to his cheek a bit of moisture falling on his face.
"B-baka...don't die on me dammit!" Cried the woman beginning compressions on his chest.
Minato vs Orochimaru...
"T-this is impossible..." Said Orochimaru his voice shaking Minato standing behind him a demonic looking hand protruding out the Yondameis stomach into the Sanins back a dark figure looming behind Minato.
"No its not I told you no matter what this village shall not fall!" Grunted Minato sweat pouring from his face having to use every ounce of strength to pull off this jutsu.
"To think anyone would have the skill to summon a Shikigami into this world...a skill I should have." Scowled the pale skinned man.
"Why you...even in death you don't shut up...here's a new technique for you PLAY DEAD!" Roared Minato the Shikigami jerking his arm back two spectral arms emerging from Orochimaru.
"Gah...no this is... insolent it can't be!" Denied Orochimaru trying to get out of Minatos death grip.
"Haha yes figured out huh...I'm taking your soul." Coughed Minato blood leaking from his mouth. "At the cost of my own life at least I'll purge your evil from the world." Said Minato with a grim smile.
"I wouldn't be...s-so sure...Yondamei." Cackled Orochimaru.
Before Minato could remove more of the mans soul a cold steel blade ran through his chest directly through his heart.
"Ah!?" Was his only response as the fight left his eyes.
"Forgive me Orochimaru-sama my progress was delayed by Junji Tatsuya he...caught me off guard I am ashamed." Sighed the man removing his blade from the blonde hokages chest with a wet crunch.
"Fool." Spat Orochimaru his body becoming rigid suddenly.
"Where the leaves fall the will of fire will always be found." Stated Minato calmly the Shikigami behind him bringing his blade down severing his souls arms and devouring them hungrily.
"What no!?...GRAHHHH!" Screamed Orochimaru falling to his knees his arms turning a dark brown color resembling the color of a dead leaf.
"Naruto...Kushina...Shuriu...forgive me." Sighed Minato the looming figure behind him fading quickly.
"Gaah! You yellow haired fool what d-did you do to my arms!" Screamed Orochimaru his arms swinging lifeless by his sides.
"Heh I told you...as long as I...live this village shall not die." Smiled Minato weakly.
"Then die already Yondamei!" Scowled Tanaka plunging his blade through Minatos chest a second time severing the hokages already thinning strand of life with a stomach turning crunch.
"Fool...ah...I should reanimate your corpse just to kill you a second time for my arms!" Cursed the snake kicking Minatos corpse.
"So what about operation Konoha?" Asked Tanaka placing a hand on his side his face flinching in pain.
"I..I will destroy this dammed village one day just not today." Stated Orochimaru.
"M-minato...damn you snake!" Cursed Gamabunta struggling against his hold in Mandas grip the large serpent coiled around the toad in an iron death grip.
"Quite frog!" Hissed Manda tightening his grip on Gamabunta the sounds of large bones cracking filling the air.
'That spiky haired punk even if its my dying breath I will avenge you Minato!' Roared the chief toad mentally his cheeks expanding as his tongue shot out at Tanaka aiming to crush him.
"Ah ah ah." Smirked Tanaka stopping the toads attack with his bare hand. "You'll need to do better than that!" Tanaka laughed maniacally a stream of blue flame flickering around his fingers.
"That's enough Tanaka-sama you wouldn't want to have one of your incidents again." Warned a white haired glasses wearing shinobi placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Tsk you better have something for me to crush when we get back Kabuto!" Growled Tanaka walking over to Orochimaru putting one of his arms around his shoulder to support him in his weakened state.
'Tsk dammed Ihara bloodlust!' Spat Kabuto mentally. "Shall we head off to regroup and ponder out small set back my lord?" Asked the medical nin.
"Grr don't patronize me Kabuto I will kill you." Warned the Sanin. "We'll retreat for now but I still have two aces up my sleeve kukuku isn't that right Tanaka?" Chuckled Orochimaru.
"Yes it is...father." Agreed Tanaka with a nod the three vanishing in a puff of smoke.
