An:/ Notes and Review Responses come last, for now, enjoy the story that I worked so hard to procure this week:
"We will now commence the second round to the final portion of the Chuunin exam. The first match is...Aoba Yoki versus Sabaku no Gaara. Please step down to the center of the arena."
Yoki jumped down and made his way to the center as Gaara did the same. Gaara looked at Yoki and grinned.
"It's you...mother wants your blood..."
Yoki picked his ear and looked at his pinky apathetically.
"Uh, yeah, how about no."
The proctor was a bit startled but placed his hands between the two.
"You boys ready?"
Gaara stood still but Yoki dropped into stance. Wrong move, raccoon.
"...Go!"
Gaara didn't move a muscle as Yoki jumped back. It was slightly disappointing for the audience but Yoki didn't particularly care. Not everyone attacks the minute they call the match. Kurama was practically laughing his ass off in Yoki's head when Gaara declared that "mother" wanted his container's blood. Who would've thought that the raccoon was a mother.
The two stood still for a moment before Yoki cocked his head to the side.
"Ya know, if you're not going to attack first, I'll do the honors."
Yoki rolled his neck before charging straight at Gaara. Gaara didn't even twitch when Yoki cocked his fist back. When the punch came close to his face, his sand had immediately shifted into place, ready to block the incoming attack. What Gaara failed to see was the wind chakra that had encased Yoki's hand. By the time Gaara had realized his mistake, the hand had pierced his sand and gone straight at his jaw.
Yoki watched as Gaara rocketed through the arena, all the way across to the other side. Gaara made a nice crater when he made contact with the wall.
"Whoops." Yoki drawled.
Gaara, as expected, survived the hit and was now taking his time to get up. Yoki tsk-ed and dashed in front of Gaara (he didn't want to use hiraishin just yet). Not giving the redhead a chance, he rammed his chakra enforced fist into Gaara's stomach, nullifying the sand defense with the chakra. Gaara let out a gag but couldn't defend himself as Yoki continued his barrage of unbelievably fast and strong punches. Yoki finally relented as he sent one last punch into the crazed boy's chin. Gaara was, once again, sent to the ground to eat dirt.
"Ah, and here I thought you'd be a challenge. I guess the one tail...pales in comparison to the nine tails."
A few people in the audience gasped at the mention of the bijuus. Minato paled at the taunting his son was participating in. You don't make fun of a bijuu! Kurama, on the other hand, was cracking up to no end.
Way to rile up that son of a bitch, kit.
No problem, Kurama.
Playing right into Yoki's hands, Gaara let out a blood curdling scream, obviously on that belonged to none other than the Shukaku.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU LITTLE BAG OF FUCK! I'LL TEAR YOU TO PIECES-"
Yoki's stupid chuckle interrupted the bijuu's rant as he continued reading the orange book he had taken out. He picked his nose with his pinky as he continued to read with a fair blush.
"LISTEN TO ME, YOU LITTLE SHIT-"
"AOBA YOKI, YOU BETTER LISTEN TO HIM THIS INSTANT! AND THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU WITH THAT DAMNED BOOK, I'LL HANG YOU UP BY YOUR TOENAILS OVER A POOL OF SHARKS, YA HEAR! BURN IT RIGHT NOW!"
Yoki almost dropped the book and blanched at the sound of his mother. The redhead was growling behind her ANBU mask, scaring her fellow ANBU on her team. Yoki started to comically cry as the book bursted into flames in his hand. Gaara, or rather, Shukaku was shaking in anger, eyes twitching as Yoki continued to ignore him and started the funeral of his literature.
"DAMN YOU!"
Shukaku charged, Gaara's right arm started to bulge and contort until sand started to burst out of his shoulder joint. A claw of sand started to manifest as Gaara started to sprout ears and a tail.
"Don't get ahead of yourself, Shukaku. I can't have you going on rampage in this small arena" Yoki was now standing up straight, his brown eyes made the air cool and heavy.
"SHUT UP, HUMAN! I CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT!"
Shukaku finally appeared in front of Yoki and started cocked his claw back to swipe at Yoki. Yoki watched boredly as the claw descended on him, not bothering to put a horrified face or some form of panic on his exterior. Shukaku's claw crashed through the ground, the pressure of the hit denting the ground. Yoki, tired of drawing it out, flashed behind him. He stretched a bit, his head rolled back and his arms above his head. But when he opened his eyes, his face contorted to pure shock, his arms dropped to his sides. His eyes were wide and his lips were trembling in a straight line.
Every single stand was covered in feathers as the civilians began to drop like flies. He instinctively released the Genjutsu, watching as other Shinobi did the same. What really scared him, though, was the large purple box surrounding the Kage stand. Tou-san.
He was expecting an invasion, but this...this was not what he imagined. All the Shinobi were battling against enemy nin, the sound of kunai clashing rang through the arena. Like war.
Yoki immediately dropped the henge and moved to head toward the box but was brought to a halt by a growl behind him. He whipped around and saw that Gaara had become a miniature Shukaku, steam escaping from the heavy growls that came from the bijuu.
"...I...I don't have time for this." Naruto hissed desperately.
The Shukaku charged forward, multiple tendrils of sand shot out of the raccoon's body. Naruto nimbly dodged, weaving through the strands of sand. Unexpectedly, the tendrils started to branch off each other. A few of the branches cut past Naruto's arms and legs, his cheek now wearing a cut. The ever multiplying sand kept going as Naruto cursed and fled back.
Once out of reach, Naruto pulled out his sword and got into stance before shooting forwarded towards the charging bijuu. His sword cut through the tendrils as he made his way closer to the Shukaku. The creature let out a scream as it launched it's claw out to meet with Naruto's blade. Naruto shifted his weight back, letting the claw slam into the ground before he pounced, blade already thrusting towards the center. Blade met sand, but the resistance was incredible. Naruto leaned his weight into the blade as he continued to lodge his blade into the stomach of the bijuu.
"It's not...getting through" Naruto grunted as he twisted his blade for leverage. His head snapped up as a breeze went by. He made it just in time to dodge the large tail that swiped at him, leaving the blade still lodged in the sand. Naruto skidded away and watched as the Shukaku remained unfazed by the long blade protruding out of it. Clearly, the katana hadn't reached Gaara yet. Too shallow.
He sped through hand seals and slammed his hands on the ground, watching as spikes of earth shot out of the ground. Surprisingly agile, the Shukaku hopped away from the spears shooting out of the ground. The Shukaku puffed his chest out before shooting pellets of air out of it's mouth.
Fuuton: Renkuudan no jutsu (Drilling air bullet) (an:/ I don't think this is the right Jutsu...but you know what I mean)
Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu (Great fireball technique)
The fireball spewed out of Naruto's mouth, overcoming the small wind bullets. But suddenly, Naruto something ram into his stomach. He lurched as he was sent crashing across the dirt floor from the air bullet that managed to get past the fireball. The shukaku, on the other hand, scrambled to get away from the large fireball coming towards it. This was the opening Naruto needed. He straightened up and charged forward.
Minato was having a rather bad day. He woke up with bed head on the day he had to make a public appearance, his toast got burnt, a majority of his white cloaks were stained with coffee, leaving only one pair left, and he had to wear the crummy traditional Hokage cloak over his normal clothes (frankly it looked like a dress). He, then, had to renew all the security seals within the entire village, in one hour. And to top it all off, the traditional Hokage cloak was now ruined thanks to a stupid snake. The council will most likely give him an earful if his wife didn't give it to him first. He clicked his tongue as he peeled away what was left of the traditional cloak, revealing his normal battle outfit, jounin uniform under is custom made Yondaime cloak. In a way, he wore the cloak just to piss off the stupid Sannin, but mostly he felt he would be weird without it. Now as the words 'Yondaime Hokage" were dawned on his back he looked up to face the 'Kazekage'.
"It's been awhile, has it not. Though, I can't really say I'm happy to see you."
"Namikaze Minato"
"Orochimaru."
Orochimaru's eyes flashed with unknown emotions; Minato couldn't help but give a dry chuckle.
"I would ask why you're here and why you're doing this, but I bet even a genin knows. I'll warn you, though, I'm not going to be as lenient as Sarutobi Hiruzen. You're not my student and I'm not one to show mercy. Hiruzen was too soft on you when he was Hokage and I'm not about to make the same mistake. You're treachery ends here along with your life and the lives of your four experiments."
"Oh, don't be so harsh, Namikaze. From one scientist to another, don't you just find the cursed seal...fascinating?"
"I could hardly call you a scientist. Your experiments are inhumane and can be classified as torture."
"It's more complicated than that, Minato. It involves much more work-"
"-that you stole from fuuin masters from all over the world. I saw that seal you put on Uchiha Sasuke. I can tell that the only work you did on it was string it together and bite victims." Minato narrowed his ice blue eyes.
Unfortunately, he was the only one in the barrier because he had sent the Raikage out to deal with the rest of the invasion. It's not like he couldn't fight Orochimaru alone, quite the opposite. But, Minato couldn't help but feel slightly nervous at the fact that Orochimaru had decided to fight him alone; without any back up aside from the four nin creating the barrier. If you think about it, Orochimaru could have brought anybody of his choosing while Minato would be stuck by himself (well, he did send off the Raikage. But, that was part of the strategy). Though with further investigation, he could technically use Hiraishin to get out, but he would have to have a marker on the outside. His house? Too far. The Hokage tower? Not close enough. His armory? Incredibly too far. What other places...
Orochimaru cracked his neck to the side before he dashed forward, flashing through a set of seals.
Fuuton: Daitoppa!
The gust of wind aimed dead on Minato rushed forward. Minato flashed away, appearing behind Orochimaru with a kunai. He slashed at Orochimaru only to have the snake dissolve into small snakes that slithered to the floor. Minato looked forward to find Orochimaru diverging from the ground. Minato threw one of his tri-pronged kunai and weaved through a set of his own.
Kunai Kage bunshin no jutsu
The kunai multiplied in numbers, the rain of kunai heading straight towards Orochimaru. Orochimaru slammed his hands on the ground.
Douton: Doryuuheki
The kunai rained upon the wall formed by the sannin, lodging themselves into the ground and wall. Orochimaru smirked and turned back to Minato only to see him flash away. He flinched and whipped around, quickly dodging the punch coming from the blonde Hokage. Minato crashed into the wall and slowly got up. He nimbly dodged an incoming snake that shot out of Orochimaru's sleeve and flashed away. Minato suddenly appeared to the right of Orochimaru, Rasengan at already in motion.
Rasengan!
Minato rammed the spinning ball of chakra into Orochimaru's side, full force, causing Orochimaru to explode. The mud splattered everywhere as Minato clicked his tongue and flashed away. Orochimaru diverged from the ground and started running with a kunai at hand. Minato pulled out one of his own and waited. Just as Orochimaru stepped into Minato's field of kunai, the Hokage disappeared. Orochimaru suddenly split into different pieces before spilling to the floor in the form of snakes. The snakes slithered away but reformed further away just as Minato stopped in the center of his kunai field. The two were at a stand still until the sannin smirked and bit his thumb.
"I'll show you, Namikaze Minato, why that cloak means nothing..."
The sannin weaved through another set of hand seals before slamming on the ground.
Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei
Sakura and Konohamaru were back to back, taking down enemy nin every so often. Sasuke had emerged from the medical room and was fighting off the attackers, as well. A few miles away, a large snake summon was making it's way to the walls of Konoha. Though, it wasn't for long before a large toad appeared.
"Jiraiya-boy, what's going on." It croaked.
The conversation was too far away to hear what Jiraiya had to say but the toad immediately began to attack the snake summon.
Naruto weaved through several hand signs before flashing in front of the Shukaku and palm-heeled the boy on the forehead.
Yajuu no Fuuinjutsu (Beast sealing technique)
Naruto grabbed his blade and jumped away, quickly weaving through another set before slamming his hands on the ground.
Douton: Juu Sekisou no Shouheki (Ten stone spear barrier)
Ten spikes rose from the ground and began merge together, encasing the boy who was still screaming in agony from the beast sealing technique.
"I'm sorry." Naruto whispered as Gaara left his vision behind the rock.
Naruto turned and flashed away to the roof of the kage's stand.
Minato shifted into a stance as he saw two coffins rise from the ground, one reading "Sho" and the other "Ni". Oh, he knew all about the impure resurrection, alright. A nasty jutsu if used to it's full potential but guessing who Minato thinks Orochimaru summoned, psychological warfare wasn't part of the plan in Orochimaru's head.
"Shodaime and Nidaime. Going a bit far there, are we, Orochimaru? Three against one is hardly fair."
"Who said this had to be fair-uhrg"
Orochimaru's eyes went wide as he lurched, slowly looking down to see a long blade protruding from his abdomen.
"You're right, who said this was going to be fair." A voice came from behind.
"Namikaze...Naruto...when?-" Orochimaru lurched before melting into mud.
"Che, a mud clone." Naruto flicked the mud of his katana and turned to the two coffins. He thanked himself for planning ahead and tagging the snake earlier. After looking at the seals outside the barrier, he found out he could use hiraishin to get in.
The lids suddenly snapped open as Minato flashed next to his son. Naruto relaxed his tense muscles at the voice of his father, who was perfectly fine.
"Sealing?" Minato asked.
"Sealing." Naruto confirmed. Minato smirked and shifted into stance; Naruto followed suit.
The lids fell to the ground, revealing a man in red samurai-like armor with long black hair and another man with blue samurai-like armor with spiky white hair.
"Up against the previous Hokage, huh. How troublesome." Naruto rolled a few kinks in his neck and waited for the corpses to move. The coffins disappeared and Orochimaru appeared behind the two bodies.
"Ku-ku-ku, this will be interesting. The Namikaze versus the Senju."
Suddenly, the two Hokage's eyes snapped open, revealing two pairs of black and red eyes.
"Oh, where are we?" The Shodaime started.
"I believe we have never seen you two before..." The Nidaime continued.
"I'm the Yondaime Hokage and this is my son. You have been revived by Orochimaru of the Sannin. You are in the middle of an invasion of Konohagakure." Minato reported briefly.
"Ah, my technique. Orochimaru using my technique? That's a surprise..."
"Of course your technique would be used for bad. Dammit, Tobirama! You did it again!"
"Shut up, this is serious."
Hashirama straightened and frowned, Tobirama fixed his usual scowl before the two looked behind him at the sight of Orochimaru. Tobirama glared.
"Of course Orochimaru would be behind this. The rotten snake of Hiruzen's only met my expectations."
"Quiet, Tobirama!... We can't really move can we."
Orochimaru smirked and pulled out two kunai with fuuin tags. Minato frowned.
"Another stolen work, Orochimaru?"
"Ku-ku-ku..." Orochimaru let the kunai merge into the back of the heads of the previous Hokage. Their eyes snapped open wide at the intrusion.
"I let them maintain their previous personalities and the ability to talk. It will be interesting to see the conversation between three Hokage."
"This is ridiculous." Tobirama growled as his body shifted into stance.
Naruto threw his own set of Hiraishin kunai and let them multiply, mixing in with his father's kunai.
"Tou-san. Which technique are we going to use? The shiki fuuin is out of the question at this point."
"I know- we have to use the sealing tags. I have to make them right now, so buy me time."
"I'm not sure I can fend off a Kage, let alone two. Better make it quick."
"Who do you think I am? I'm a master! Speed is not an issue!" Minato reprimanded.
Naruto scoffed.
"Uh, speaking of master. Aren't there TWO of them?" Naruto turned to Minato, hands on his hips.
"Yeah, but I have seniority!"
"You two! Pay attention! Tobirama at your 8 and me at your 5 o'clock!" Hashirama yelled. The two blondes snapped out of their conversation, turning to the directions the Shodaime had given to them. Kunai met kunai and the sparks and clang rang in the air. Naruto took on Tobirama as Minato took on Hashirama. Minato quickly flashed away from sight as Naruto flashed to the side to face the two Hokages.
"Aren't you a bit young to be fighting us, kid? Kage versus genin is hardly a fair match" Tobirama pointed. Naruto growled.
"I don't know if they had these vests back in your archaic time, but it shows that I'm a jounin."
"Whoa! You're a jounin! Impressive!" Hashirama exclaimed.
"Regardless, do you guys think you could stall for me? Because regardless of my rank, Tobirama-sama is correct in a way; two kages versus a jounin isn't fair, either."
"We can sort of stall, but we don't have much control over our bodies. That is the part of the jutsu."
"Alright, do what you can. We're going to find a way to let you rest in peace for once."
"Sounds like a plan, kid-" Tobirama only shifted into stance. "-but it won't be as easy as it sounds."
Naruto sighed and shifted into stance, his eyes now as cold as ice.
"I'll hold my own for just enough time. Bring it."
Tobirama charged forth as Hashirama started to weave through hand seals. Naruto flashed as Tobirama started to attack and appeared up in the air, sending a volley of shuriken to the Shodaime. Hashirama's hand seals were interrupted as he dodged the flying projectiles and watched as Tobirama stepped in front of him to fend off the attacks as he restarts the set of seals.
Naruto flashed behind Hashirama and sent a Rasengan into the Shodaime's back, launching the man into Tobirama and sending the two several meters away. Tobirama recovered first and started his jutsu.
Suiton: Suishouha! (Tidal wave)
The flood of water appeared and the large waves started to kick in as the roof suddenly became a violent sea in a middle of a storm. Naruto jumped up and landed on the water with his chakra right before he flashed through a set of hand seals.
Suiton: Nanatsu suiko (Seven water foxes)
Seven large water foxes formed and started to charge at the Hokages. Three ran forth towards Hashirama while the remaining four went for Tobirama. Tobirama slammed his hands on the water, causing a wall of water to protect him from the water foxes. Hashirama sank into the water and disappeared as the foxes fell upon his previous position. Naruto frowned before going through another set.
Fuuton: Kaze no Koukyougaku (Symphony of the winds)
A large wind storm started to appear as the water sank into a vortex below the forming tornado. The wind started to pick up as the high pitched wail of the gales started to ring in the air. Hashirama was now sinking further into the center of the vortex having been caught earlier. Tobirama dispersed in a water clone. As soon as the wind died down Tobirama reappeared and Hashirama started to reassemble from the pile of ash caused from the vortex. The sounds of peeling paper was heard as Naruto watched Hashirama reassemble himself.
"That is a creepy jutsu you created, Tobirama-sama."
"Quiet, kid."
Naruto raised his hands in mock surrender just as Minato flashed next to him.
"I got them completed."
"Great. I was afraid I'd have to resort to taijutsu."
Minato watched as well as Hashirama's leg started to form. When it was done, Hashirama stood up.
"Some weird jutsu, Tobirama" Hashirama sighed.
"That's what I said!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Heh, I like you kid. Now, Yondaime, your chance to seal us away is now!"
"I know-"
The Senjus' eyes suddenly widened and their bodies went frigid.
"Yo-Yondaime, we're...losing...control. H-Hurry" Hashirama struggled before weaving through hand seals. Suddenly, the ground started to shake before trees began to sprout from the roof and grow at an unreal pace.
Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kotan (Birth of the forest)
Tobirama dashed forward, dodging the branches and trees from the ground, and engaging Naruto in hand to hand combat. He sent a whirlwind of kicks that were parried by Naruto. The blonde struggled under the weight of each kick, feeling his arms and legs bruise under the constant battering.
Minato was also caught in a taijutsu battle with Hashirama, faring well on his own. Hashirama suddenly cocked his fist back, providing the opening Minato needed. The Shodaime punched forward, sending his weight into the punch. Minato dodged to the side and slapped the seal onto Hashirama's ribs while sending a burst of chakra, causing Hashirama to fly towards the tree. The black ink started to spread out, branching towards his arms, legs, and neck. Hashirama smiled as he closed his eyes.
"The leaf...is in good hands..." with that, Hashirama Senju was encased in a white light before dissolving into the air, a pile of ashes left in his place. Minato exhaled before looking at the fight between Naruto and Tobirama. Naruto was wincing as his hands went up to block the Nidaime's strikes. Naruto stumbled a bit as Tobirama sent a kick past his defense and into to his chest. Naruto gritted his teeth and got back up, shifting into stance. He suddenly felt his legs give way as he fell to his right knee. Panting, he looked up to see the Nidaime slowly walking towards him.
This is bad. I don't have the seal! Where's Tou-san when you need him!
Tobirama was a few meters away from the jounin before Minato flashed over in front of Naruto. Naruto let out a sigh and brought his hands to his ribs with a first aid medical ninjutsu. He could heal himself now that his dad would take care of the other Hokage. He had to be in top shape to fight Orochimaru, who was, no doubt, probably hiding somewhere within the barrier.
Minato shifted into stance and sprang forward. Tobirama met him halfway, blocking the series of strikes Minato sent his way. He found an opening and sent a roundhouse kick to Minato's head. The blonde blocked it with his hand, pushing the foot away. Tobirama's eyes went wide as he heard the sound of paper. Minato had placed the paper seal as he was blocking the kick, now successfully sealing away the second Hokage. Tobirama close his eyes and waited for the seal to act as the ink spread through his body.
"You did well, Yondaime."
The light encased him and his ashes fell to the floor. Minato sighed and turned to Naruto, who was now healed and ready to fight.
"Naruto-"
Suddenly, Minato's and Naruto's eyes widened as a large pulse of chakra was felt and a roar was heard. Naruto flinched and looked in the direction of the ring to see the Shukaku ripping out of the stone barrier he made.
"I sealed him- how-"
"Naruto- I'll get the Shukaku. Hold Orochimaru off before I come back." Minato ordered.
Naruto nodded. "I placed one of your markers outside of the barrier, you should feel it"
Minato paused before nodding. Naruto mocked salute while Minato flashed away. He then turned to the battlefield inside the barrier, the water died down and the wooden forest creaked with the wind. Everything was still. Naruto shifted forward.
"Orochimaru...I know you're there."
"Aren't you an interesting one...Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto, Prodigy of Konoha, Shinobi no Inari, the Second coming of the Yellow flash, or should I dare say, the third Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi."
Naruto growled as Orochimaru made his appearance, stepping out from behind a large tree root.
"Though I do warn you, Naruto-kun, an A ranked Ninja like yourself can't hold a candle to an S ranked like me."
Naruto's eyes steeled, mouth in a firm line.
"Eat shit." He growled. Orochimaru's sick smile dropped before turning into a malicious grin.
"Have it your way, Inari boy"
Orochimaru charged.
An:/ SO...How was it? I thought it was a pretty good chapter. The Namikaze versus the Senju. I put the jutsu translation next to it because I figured those who don't understand japanese would want to understand the jutsu name...in case google translate sucks. I put in the jutsus last so if I missed one, tell me so I can reupdate the chapter (I try to proof read but even my own proof reading can skip a few mistakes...) I had to watch the match between Hiruzen and Orochimaru again in order to imagine this fight but the hour and a half of watching was worth it. I watched that match years ago and almost forgot how badly Hiruzen was crushed. It was kind of sad how easily defeated Hiruzen was. Tobirama and Hashirama practically owned him in taijutsu, kicking the old man around and then in ninjutsu with the whole forest and water (I wasn't imagining things when I said that Tobirama practically made a sea on the roof). The fact that Hiruzen had to resort to shiki fuuin the end was a bit weird too so I had Minato use one of his seals in that place because I figured that Hiruzen wouldn't know as much fuuinjutsu as Minato did. Anyways, Orochimaru versus Naruto next chapter, another epic fight for another chapter. I have a three day weekend so...Typing marathon!

Fan Fan 92555: Ah yes, disregard the authorities indeed. Quite the motto that, I too, live by. I'll check out the stories if I have the time, they seem interesting enough.
SakuraFairy1990: My chapter didn't disappoint, did it? Besides, Minato doesn't need protecting! He's the Hokage! Hahaha. And Orochimaru's fear is kinda justified...funny nonetheless.

Guest: get an account! Lol, I'll hold you to your word, because I'm not stopping anytime soon! I'm glad you like my story!
Ethyrin Kairos: ah yes, I see that too. I'm trying to tone him down a bit, and I did say I wouldn't make him god like...next chapter, I guess, you'll see me tone Naruto down a lot. Keep reading though! Don't lose hope! I have some form of development in the sequel (which I am already currently writing) so hopefully it won't be so bad!
Damon Furey: PM response: Oh, I made the connection, but I'd rather put that behind us, right? And though I'm a girl, I'll take the bro fist XD it's fine if you don't read the story when it first comes out, it's cool. Besides,Kindles are pretty cool. I figured as much about Taka but I'm being cautious now, if that makes sense.
Alright! That was chapter 30! I hoped you all loved reading it as much as I loved writing it and the next chapter will be the same. Up next! Orochimaru versus Naruto! (I'm already creating a new Jutsu for Naruto, hope y'all will like it!)
See ya!
WARNING: I might be going around, reuploading chapters that I feel sucked...Ya know, editing them, perhaps adding more detail. So if you don't want to read them, that's cool, just ignore the updates. This renovation period will probably end in a couple months or so.
ANOTHER PIECE OF SEMI-IMPORTANT INFORMATION: I actually made several versions of this chapter (hell yeah to proofreading) And in one version (or rather, the very first edition), I made a really snarky Minato fight Orochimaru, all including bad jokes and pissed off attitudes. Think of it as a limited edition, but I'll be uploading that version as a separate story (I thought it was slightly funny) so you guys can read that version where I made Minato ooc. When I say limited edition, I mean, In exactly one month, I'll take the limited version down. Think of it as a present for following this story so diligently. It will be on my profile, listed as The Namikaze Legend Limited Edition Omake: M vs O. So if you want to read it, go for it!
Alright, now Bya!
