Yeah…I guess it's about time I end the fight between Oro and Kaoshi…bleh…I don't wanna…

GAGHH! HEALTH PROJECT!
Chapter 17: Oro Vs Kaoshi part 2Kaoshi stood at the far end of the arena, poised for an attack. He was waiting for Orochimaru to make a move. After several moments it came.
"KICHIYOSE NO JUTSU!" Yelled Orochimaru as an enormous snake appeared.
"Errrr…" the giant snake said. "You brought me here for this? You dumb ass."
"Heh." Kaoshi said biting his thumb. "KICHIYOSE NO JUTSU!" He yelled. A giant blue dragon rose above the cloud of smoke. The dragon however had no wings.
"You're kidding me…" Orochimaru said
"You'd better give me at least a hundred sacrifices for this Orochimaru." The enormous snake said.
"Hai, hai, hai." Orochimaru said waving his hand. "Now let's kill them." Manda and Orochimaru lunged towards Kaoshi and his dragon.
"Fools." Kaoshi said placing his hand on the dragon beside him. "Shall we?" The dragon nodded. "Kaoshi rairyusen no jutsu!" He yelled after doing several hand seals. He jumped onto the dragon's back and rammed his hands into its shoulders.
"What is he--!" Orochimaru started but was cut off. Out of the dragon's back exploded two giant wings of lightning. "Fuck." Orochimaru said as a giant lightning blade appeared from the dragon's arm. It charged.
Manda jumped in front of his "master" and took the blow full on. Before he disappeared he said.
"TWO-HUNDRED! NO LESS!"
BACK TO THE EVER EXPANDING NINJA TEAM ON THE SIDELINES!
"Kaoshi's got him on the ropes!" Naruto yelled gleefully. "KICK HIS ASS!"
"I don't know…" Shikamaru said skeptically. "It seems to be going a bit TOO well if you ask me…"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" Naruto yelled angrily.
"He's right." Kakashi said pointing. "If you look closely…Kaoshi has already released his trump card, the third release. Orochimaru hasn't even tapped his wide array of jutsus. I'd say Kaoshi is at a disadvantage."
"But you said Kaoshi wouldn't lose!"
"That's true…but I never said he'd win either…did I?" The group looked at Kakashi for a moment.
"A…a draw?" Hinata asked. She had just awoken from her traumatized state caused by seeing Naruto with Sasuke's hand through his chest. "They'll both…?
"Die." Kakashi said calmly. "Yes. That's what I predict."
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT SO COLDLY!" Naruto yelled. "HE'S YOUR FRIEND! HE'S OUR ALLY! AND DAMMIT! HE'S MY FRIEND!"
"I never said…" Kakashi said lookin at Naruto. "That we'd let that happen."
"Kakashi-sensei?"
"If things get ugly. We'll bale out Kaoshi, finish Orochimaru, and fight our way out."
They all looked at Kakashi. They all hoped that it wouldn't come to that.
BACK TO THE FIGHT! YAAAY!
Kaoshi's dragon disappeared in a cloud of smoke as he released the summon. Once again the two men stood perfectly still, examining the other for any hint of movement. Orochimaru started to stroll along around Kaoshi.
"You know Kaoshi-kun…" Orochimaru said slyly. "Maybe I shouldn't have kicked you out of here and tried to kill you. You've become quite strong."
"Gee, thanks." Kaoshi retorted. "What's your point?"
"Well…I'd like to offer you a position among my higher ranks. Seeing as I just lost my apprentice…I need someone else to pass on my skills to. I could show you what true strength is."
"Phht." Kaoshi laughed. "You expect me to come crawling back to someone who KIDNAPPED me, had horrid experiments done on me, and then kicked me out and tried to kill me?"
Orochimaru looked thoughtful and after a moment said,
"That's about the size of it."
"Well you can take your offer and Insert whatever you think will fit best in context here"
"Well…if that's truly your answer…" Orochimaru said shifting his weight into a fighting stance.
"It is."
"Then you will suffer an eternity in Hell." He said. His flesh started to ripple and change shape. His once pale white skin started changing in color and texture. Green scales started appearing all over his body. After several moments Orochimaru's body stopped mutating. What stood there was no longer a man, but some mix between a snake and a man.
A large number of gasps came from the crowd.
"You see Kaoshi-kun?" Orochimaru slurred from his newly formed mouth. "This is what true power is." Chakra swirled around him ripping up pieces of earth as it did. "Are you afraid?" Kaoshi smirked.
"Why the hell would I be afraid of you?" he said with a chuckle. "It's not like I haven't seen you all Übered up before." Author's note: Hehe…Übered…
"But you must certainly realize the gravity of your situation." Orochimaru said confidently.
"Yeah, yeah…" Kaoshi said with a quick hand gesture. "Gravity…whatever." This got Orochimaru a little upset.
"How can you be so calm when you're staring your DEATH in the face!"
"Because." Kaoshi said with a grin. "I don't plan on dying here." He unsnapped the black metal bands on his arm. A black chakra started to ooze from where the bands were loose. He slowly removed the bands revealing a level one curse seal. The mark of the seal spread across his body like a wildfire bringing chakra along with it.
"You FOOL!" Orochimaru yelled. "Do you think that THAT will help you?"
"Who says that's I got up my sleeve?" Kaoshi retorted with a smile.
"EH!" said Orochimaru with an expression of great surprise.
"Seishou yuukai no jutsu!" he yelled as he rammed Kaede into his stomach.
"Spirit fusion?" Orochimaru said confused. "Is there even such a thing?"
"Yup…" Kaoshi said coughing up some blood. "It's pretty nasty too."
"But you're bleeding to death…"
"That's the plan."
"Taking the easy way out eh?" Orochimaru chuckled. "That is something I'd expect from you…"
"Not the easy way out…" Kaoshi said with a grin. "Just watch." Kaede started glowing bright blue. The blade kept getting brighter and brighter until one had to avert their gaze in order to not be blinded.
Suddenly the light disappeared. Kaoshi stood in the exact same place he had before in the exact same way. The only difference was Kaede. She was back to the standard blade form. Kaoshi knelt down placing his hand on the hilt. He opened his mouth and spoke with two voices.
"Come…" He said in a commanding tone.
"Oh…" Orochimaru chuckled. "Since you couldn't do it yourself…you need my help to finish the job?" Kaoshi didn't respond. "Well I'll be happy to oblige!" Orochimaru rushed at Kaoshi with full force.
"Blade of blood…" Kaoshi whispered. He pulled the blade out of himself through his left side. The blade arced through the air leaving a small trail of blood where the blade had traveled.
The crowd sat on the edge of their seats; unsure of what just happened. They saw Orochimaru turn into some crazy beast thing, Kaoshi stab himself and glow blue, and then, when Orochimaru reached Kaoshi, he did some weird attack causing damage to his own body to gain more chakra.
Orochimaru looked back. "Nice." He said as his body split in two.
"Thanks…"
"But not nice enough." Orochimaru said as another Orochimaru pulled himself out of the old Orochimaru's mouth.
"Fuck." Kaoshi said resisting the urge to vomit. "You just don't die do you?"
"I do…" Orochimaru said. "I just make it as hard as humanly possible to do so."
"So basically…" Kaoshi/Kaede said annoyed. "I've gotta kill you and leave no trace behind."
"That's just about the size of it." Orochimaru said gleefully. "Can you pull it off?"
"Yup…" They said. "It'll be close…but I'm pretty sure we can."
'This is the moment you've been waiting for Kaoshi…' he thought to himself. 'you have to pull this off. After all he's done to you…to so many people…there's no way you can afford to let this man live…"
"Kaoshi" Kaede's voice said from inside Kaoshi's head. "Way to leave me out of the equation…but whatever." She said with a hint of excitement in her voice. "but whatever…just get your ass down here now!"
"Hai?" He delved into the darkness inside himself once again. "What is it?"
"Look" There, alongside the three main releases was a black ball of energy.
"It isn't…" Kaoshi said surprised.
"The Hell release" She said finishing his sentence for him.
"Can we open it?"
"Yes"
"We've never done a release while using this jutsu. What if it fails?"
"It won't"
"Well then…Shall we?"
"Hai"
Kaoshi opened his eyes; before him stood Orochimaru, the man who he had dreamt of killing for the past six years. Now he could.
"Well Orochimaru-chan." Kaoshi said. "It looks like I have to retract my previous statement." Orochimaru chuckled. "Seems I've done some underestimating."
"Damn right."
"Now I'll be able to kill you no problem."
"WHAT!" The beast yelled in anger and confusion. "Are you telling me that by closing your eyes for a few seconds…you're THAT much stronger?"
"Yes." He stated simply. He lifted his blade and gripped it with both hands. He started to murmur something but Orochimaru couldn't quite hear it. After a moment Kaoshi yelled, "BY THE BLACK INFERNOS OF HELL I RELEASE YOU! KAEDE!" A torrent of chakra started to swirl around Kaoshi. The skies grew dark and lightning flashed around the two combatants. "Welcome to Hell Orochimaru-chan." When Orochimaru looked at Kaoshi he drew back in surprise. What stood before him was no longer the handsome young cloud nin whom he was fighting, but another being entirely.
Kaoshi's skin was a dark gray, almost black, his face had been replaced by some hideous monster's, veins appeared all over his body, and to make things worse, he had wings, crazy black bat-like wings. His eyes had turned blue on the outside but the inside remained the black and white Kuroringan, which Orochimaru had so nicely given him.
Judging by Orochimaru's shocked state Kaoshi figured that he transformed into some crazy flying platypus or something. He took a look at himself.
"I don't know Oro-chan." He said with a laugh. "I kinda like it." Orochimaru stepped back, obviously frightened by the beast in front of him. He had never seen anything so terrible before in his life. "So what do you say, Oro-chan?" Kaoshi mused. "Would you like to finish this now or later?"
Okay, Okay, Okay…I know some of you were hoping for more…but what can I say…I put this damn project off till the last minute and I can't afford not to get it done. And as you can see from the blog up top…I've been busy with more pressing matters. I'll update again as soon as possible to finish the fight. Peace.
