Chapter 18: Overcoming Hate Part One
The same time Naruto charged out of the arena, a number of Suna and Oto shinobi charged into the stadium, ready to kill everyone and anyone asleep, dealing as much damage as possible to Konoha. As they dashed forward, the petite, lithe figure of Tenten appeared in front of them. She smiled at them, in a way so sultry that most were tempted to either take her there and then or become her willing slaves. The hesitation was more than enough for the weapon mistress as her hands quickly withdrew one of her scrolls and death came forth in the form of hundreds of sharp and pointy implements of death.
In another side, Kiba formed his claws and charged, making short work of stray enemies, while Haku took care of the main group with a well aimed Suiryudan no Jutsu. Someone Shunshin'ed behind Haku and by the time she realized it, it was too late for her. Just then a whirling sound echo'ed and the enemy fell down bisected at his waist. The sound came from a rather weird weapon. It looked like a short staff with two Kama blades on either end. The weapon twirled in the air before suddenly changing direction and flying back to Shino's hand. When Haku blew him a kiss as a thank-you, Shino was very glad he had once again raised the hem of his coat and was wearing his glasses. The blush that overcame him was rather intense.
Hanabi squealed in fear as a Suna nin came at her, kunai raised. Just then a killer intent overcame the place, freezing the would-be murderer. When Hanabi and the ninja turned to look at the origin, they saw Hinata with her bladed tonfa out. What followed would forever be burned on little Hanabi's memory, as Hinata descended like an angry lioness on the poor idiot that dared even think of hurting her little sister. The blood would later cause Hanabi to develop a mild case of haemophobia, as Hinata executed the Hakke: Rokujouyonshou with her tonfa tearing her enemy to nothing but shreds. The shinobi that followed the first unlucky fool thought better of their actions and retreated to try their luck elsewhere.
Naruto was intercepted by Jiraiya. The news were grave. Sandaime was imprisoned by the hebi-teme. Naruto growled at Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya, you take Lee, Kiba and Tenten. They are under your explicit command. I suggest protecting Hinata's little sister as well. Me and the others will take care of the snake bastard. Now get going perv, or you'll get a repeat performance of our first night together!"
Jiraiya nodded once before taking a headset from Naruto and leaving to protect everyone. Through said haidset, he took command on the three members Naruto entrusted him with.
'Sensei... gaki... don't die on me.' The toad sage shook the last thoughts of doubt from his head. They were the same, his sensei and the gaki. They wouldn't fail. They couldn't fail. It was impossible for them to do so.
Anko made a 'weee!' sound as she ripped shinobi after shinobi apart with her knives. Bending like a snake, striking faster than a cobra, enemies fell left and right. And the idiots that managed to hit her? She killed them first as the wound they gave her healed, while adding what she called 'sexyness' to her suit. Namely more skin to show off. On the other side, Zabuza was one huge tornado of death with his massive cleaver. Who the heck needed Kirigakure no Jutsu, when they sparred constantly with a certain blonde blob of energy? Compared to Naruto, these guys were moving like snails.
In the middle of the stadium, Kakashi and Gai stood back to back, dozens of enemies around them. Knowing how bad things were, Kakashi made to lift his headband. Before he did though...
"Rai Ookami, Inazuma Gari! (Lightning Wolf, Flash Hunt!)"
A cry echo'ed and a yellow flash concealed the figure that dashed like lightning, gushes of blood and gore springing from where the figure went. When the flash stopped, Kakashi had only one word on his lips..
"S-sensei?"
Of course it was proven wrong as he took notice of the crouching figure. It was Kiba! Before he had time to recuperate, a shout echo'ed again.
"YOUTH!"
This time, a figure crashed on the enemy shinobi, bodies flying like ragdolls. Through the dust cloud, Kakashi and Gai saw a figure wielding some sort of spear-like weapon fell enemy upon enemy. When the figure leapt back from the fight, both jounin were surprised to see Lee. The following conversation surprised them even more though.
"You getting slow Ookami?" Lee taunted.
"Feh, as if. What about you Ryushin? Your youth finally ran out? After I was kind enough to leave all these jerks for you." Kiba retorted.
"Well then, this means war doesn't it?"
The jounin were trieing to comprehend what the heck was going on, when Kiba kept up, ignoring the charging Shinobi. "I guess it does. So most kills get a favour?"
Lee was about to answer when a female voice spoke and death rained on the incoming shinobi, killing many and forcing the others back. Tenten leapt down between the two boys.
"What the hell are you doing, starting a fight without me? I wanna play too!" Tenten actually pouted drawing laughs from the other two.
"Well then Maken, you're in as well. Now how 'bout we get down to business?" Kiba answered, drawing a positive nod from both his team-mates.
Before the two jounin had time to disagree, the three gennin charged and tore through the enemy lines. Lee swung his Quan Dao, named Green Dragon, killing enemy after enemy, an unstoppable blade that tore through jutsu and armor and flesh and bone alike, an awe inspiring sight. On the other side, Kiba wasn't behind, his claws glowing with lightning as he tore into the enemies, never standing still, a blur to most, leaving chaos and blood where he came. It was Naruto's contribution to Kiba's fighting style, never let an enemy recover, dash from target to target, never hitting more than twice to keep them guessing, zig-zag randomly so they won't be able to focus on you. Tenten on the other hand took out a few kunai and after somehand seals, it wasn't a few kunai, but a high-speed wall of sharpened iron that was moving towards the enemy. It took more time for Gai and Kakashi to recover, than it took the three students to wipe out more than a couple dozen Oto-shinobi. Before they had time to comment though, Tenten spoke again.
"Eeeh... its boring. They are weak as heck. I wanna go play elsewhere. You with me?" The other two nodded and blurred out of sight, ready to cause more mayhem in defence of their prescious people.
Gai and Kakashi looked at each other stupefied. Kakashi turned to Gai. "Is it my idea, or did these gennin just outdo us? Please tell me thatwas a genjutsu, my pride won't take a hit like that."
Gai looked solemnly at Kakashi. "I'm afraid Kakashi it was all real. Our youthfull students... left us in the dust..."
Kakashi's pride shattered in an almost audible sound...
A few roofs further, Kurenai was attacked by a pair of Suna jounin in close combat. As Asume made to help her, he was suddenly stunned by what happened. After Kurenai muttered some words, she charged the two with a kunai. Asuma feared the worst, knowing that close combat wasn't Kurenai's forte, before seeing the weirdest thing. The two enemies tried to dodge... onto Kurenai's blades. Somehow, she had managed to confuse them, making them move in her kunai's path. Kurenai turned to Asuma with a small huff. "Coming Asuma-kun or did your lungs finally collapse?" Asuma muttered something about teasing females but followed her nonetheless.
Kiba was moving fast, his trusty companion, Akamaru on his head, both hunting for suitable prey. Ahead of him, on a roof, two figures he'd recognize anywhere. His mother and sister, their companions wounded but still alive. Both females were with their backs on a wall, growling at their enemy. Kiba's alpha instincts came to the surface. Nobody hurts his packmates! Akamaru understood and launched forward, his fur glowing faintly with chakra. Kiba mouthed a few words as Akamaru performed the technique.
"Statikku Maakingu. (Static Marking.)"
Instantly numerous needle-like hair was launched from Akamaru into the enemy. The important part? The needles were charged with static electricity, something that Kiba could easily detect. This way he could easily navigate no matter what speed he went. If they hit the enemy, he attacked directly, even if they didn't, the resulting static field allowed Kiba to detect the enemy easily, since anyone would appear as distortions. The enemy was now in Kiba's playground. Chakra flared and raced for Kiba's greaves as Kiba took out his chained Kama.
The two Inuzuka women were rather surprised when they saw Akamaru land in front of them, not seconds after some sharp needle-like hair covered the area. Before they had time to react though...
"Inazuma Gari! (Flash Hunt!)"
Kiba's technique propelled him forward, moving in speeds a jounin would be hard-pressed to match. Couple that with a pair of lightning-charged kama and the element of surprise... and suddenly the enemies started dropping dead as a yellow flash blinded and then hacked them. This was Zabuza's lesson, strike from the shadows and make every blow the last, if you can't kill with one attack, then don't attack at all. Temple, arteries, spine, all great targets to hit on a bunch of hormone-driven fools. Within seconds the enemy was dead. All but one, the apparent leader.
"What the fuck you fucking brat! These were my fucking subordinates! I'm gonna fucking kill you and then fuck these bitches!"
Kiba growled as he turned to the bastard. He was contemplating on which way he'd fuck up the asshole when a smirk came unbound to his lips. His earpiece had just buzzed and let him know that Jiraiya had given them the 'ok' to go all out. He grabbed his kama from the chain and started twirling both at his side, while channeling his chakra-turned-electricity into them. In seconds there were two glowing wheels on Kiba's either side.
"Ya know teme, I usually don't care if some jackass tries to hit on my sis or mother. Usually, they just take care of that jerk on their own. However... to think a piece of shit like you would do anything to my sis or mother... Dude... you're not doing the fucking, I am! And I'm gonna FUCK YOU UP! RAITON: RAIROU HANTINGU PAKKU! (Lightning Style! Thunder Wolf Hanting Pack)"
Kiba's arms twiched sending the charged kama forward. However what emerged from the chained kama was more important, as two yellow, glowing wolves made of lightning charged at the apparent jounin with break-neck speed. The poor nin had barely the time to scream in pain before he died. His skin was covered by third degree burns, so heavy, some of the skin had melted off showing blackened bone. Kiba smirked. "Heh, abayo bitch."
Raising his hand to his earpiece, he sent back confirmation to Jiraiya. Turning to his family he let a feral smirk take over, as his adrenaline kept rising. "Ja ne, I got more prey to hunt. Let's go Akamaru!" Kiba howled before leaving his stupefied mother and sister staring.
A few blocks later, some enemies had stopped moving to discuss something about not enough people being there. Idiots didn't even sense him. Kiba crawled over them, his gauntlets letting him grab onto surfaces without using chakra. Using his chain, he started 'disappearing' people when others wouldn't look. Soon the 10-man squad was reduced to a group of three trembling fools. They formed a circle with their bodies. Fools. Kiba dropped silently in their midst. Haku's lesson was fresh in his mind, never let an enemy know you're there, no chakra, no sound, no breath. Be more silent than a butterfly yet faster than a striking snake. A second later, two of the three enemies died with Kiba's claws protruding from their chests while the other one didn't have time to scream as Akamaru leapt on his throat, tearing his windpipe apart.
Kiba hated killing, but these scumbags attacked his home and his family. No retreat, no surrender, no quarter. Just quick death. That was the kindest thing he had in store for them.
Kiba looked towards the gates, three humongous shapes reared their heads and the wall was under attack. Cursing, Kiba ran for the gates. If the explosions were anything to go by, there was more resistance there than anywhere else.
In another part of Konoha, a blur streaked the street, a polearm on his hand, dealing death left and right. The green-tinted blade shined in the sun, before coming down and decapitating an enemy, continuing its course with a minute tug, Lee changed the course from collision to the ground, to a low slash that took the legs of a different shinobi. Yet another tug caused the weapon to angle up, severing another enemy, a diagonal slash from hip to shoulder. The weapon changed its course again,this time taking the head of the shinobi who's legs were missing. Lee pivoted, bringing the massive weapon to bear, cutting the shinobi that was ready to strike him from behind.
Behind Lee, some civilians looked on with fear. It was the hospital area damnit! Fighting wasn't allowed here! Yet this... this... boy just came and downright executedthe attacking shinobi.
Lee's weapon now rested on his shoulder, the grim work finished. Lee just nodded to the civilian and hospital staff, seeing some ANBU coming to secure the place. The poor ANBU were gaping at the death that was caused by a single gennin. They didn't have time to think about it, as more attackers came. As they turned to face them, Lee outran them and charged, Quan Dao first, into the group. Slowly the masked Shinobi backed away. Lee fought like a demon possessed, his blade striking any and all within range, giving no quarter nor peace. Soon, more of the attacking force lay dismembered. Lee gave the ANBU a salute in the sign language before leaping off. The civilians were between relief and fear. Sure the weird kid was away, but that kid had just protected them. They all hoped he'd be alright.
Rushing forward, occasionaly cutting down any enemy he came across, Lee arrived at a familiar restaurant, or more like a ramen stand. From there he saw Ichiraku Ayame and Teuchi, both armed with what seemed kitchen knives and a frying pan defending something from a group of, what seemed malformed Oto Shinobi, bestial features dominant on their face and body. Behind the pair, Lee heard a whimper and realized the two were protecting children.
It wasn't a well known fact, but Lee, while he knew who his parents were, he grew up an orphan. As a result, few things pissed him off more than seeing children get hurt. One of them was seeing a friend, or a friend's friend get hurt. Which was happening right now, as one of the assailants threw a kunai on Ayame, injuring her lightly, but still making her drop her weapon. Lee's blood boiled as he sped ahead, putting his body as a shield to the incoming jutsu.
"Zankuuha! (Decapitating Air Waves!)"
"Ryu no Hada! (Dragon's Skin!)"
The jutsu collided with Lee, but apart from making a few cuts on his Haori and tearing away Lee's bandages, revealing his muscles, it did nothing. The boy's head was ducked, as raw, cold fury coursed through him. Just then Jiraiya's call to go all-out came to his ear. They...were...screwed... Lee's head snapped up and the look on his face turned the assailant's blood cold. Lee had just started using something other than physical energy.
Physical energy was used to enhance the user's strength and physical abilities. What about Spiritual energy someone might ask themselves? Simple, spiritual energy was used by Lee for two purposes. Either to block genjutsu, something he became very good at. Or... to cause an effect like KI overdose. Instead of Killer Intent though, it was raw power that radiated from Lee's body, a feeling of majesty, of simply being superior than the enemy. A feeling so intense, the beastified attackers felt like retreating. Hyuga with their Byakugan activated, would later report they saw a dragon roar and coil itself around a person's body.
While the enemy was terrified by Lee, he gripped his Quan Dao firmly and proceeded to, for lack of better term, execute them like pigs in a slaughterhouse. Lee turned and his aura turned from menacing to warm and calm, as if nothing would ever hurt them. He gave them a reassuring smile, as an ANBU group landed. Without turning to them, he ordered them to take the people somewhere safe. A new ANBU recruit tried to question him, when Lee turned and they saw his face. The recruit wisely shut up and obeyed the command.
Lee exited the ramen stand and looked at the gate. Three shapes were concealed by a cloud of dust and smoke. Lee felt the urge to curse. Quickly he sped up, Quan dao secured on his waist holster.
Near the Academy, Tenten leapt in the air, twisting majestically, raining death on unsuspecting shinobi. As she was heading to land, her hand suddenly lashed out and some ninja wire lashed out, grabbed on a nearby pole. Using that pole, Tenten changed direction as she landed, a blade quickly digging itself on an Oto chuunin. The pole was cut by the wire, falling on another unlucky fool. As Tenten landed, she used the momentum to spin, again launching a pair of Kunai at an incoming nin, this time embeding each into the fool's eyes. Ignoring the looks of shock she drew from some allied Chuunin, she made her way to the Academy, a place where some fighting would definitely take place.
Once there, she saw Iruka fight off some enemies and remembered what Naruto and Haku always supported. When you have someone prescious to you, you can become truly powerful. It seemed Iruka had found many such people, because he showed immense skill, in not only defending the childred, but also taking down reckless enemies that wouldn't hesitate to kill the children with a missed jutsu. It was obvious however that Iruka was tiring fast.
Tenten sped to relieve her former sensei. Drawing one of her faithful scrolls, she took out a pair of collapsible Fuuma Shuriken she had... borrowed from the Uchiha clan. No really, she borrowed them. Just without telling anyone... Quickly tieing them up with some shinobi wire, she let them fly. Her fingers twitched and moved, guiding the two oversized weapons of death to cut a swathe of dead bodies. In mere seconds, Tenten's attack from behid had felled five enemies. Quickly she let go of the Shuriken of Flying Doom, to withdraw a katana. Sure it wasn't Muramasa, who always sent shivers of pleasure down her spine when fighting, but this katana would be more than enough to take down these idiots. The not-so-much of a distraction had also given Iruka time to use one of his own techniques, namely Kage Kunai no Jutsu, to hit some of the stunned enemies. While three died of the jutsu, the rest were alive but wounded. Easy prey for Tenten.
Konohamaru and his class were awed at the skill Tenten displayed, a dance of silver to their eyes. Moegi felt like she had just found her idol in kunoichi life. Konohamaru was more drawn to Tenten's legs though, along with most boys and even their sensei Iruka. The chuunin gulped a bit, averting his eyes. Wouldn't pay to piss off this kunoichi, she looked like a student of Anko's if that were possible. Iruka didn't know for a long time how right this assumption was.
Anko was indeed one of Tenten's teachers. She taught her how to not only be happy about being a girl, but also how to show her feminine side, without being slutty or weak. Anko had also shown Tenten how to use finesse and grace over raw strength and brawn to defeat enemies much bigger than herself. The exercises for Anko's taijutsu style also helped develop the three kunoichi that were under her care.
With the way clear, Iruka took the children to a hiding place, knowing full well he couldn't defend them like that again. Tenten had shared few words with the chuunin, but the meaning was clear; Konoha was under attack so they had to move fast. With her job over, Tenten quickly left to take down more enemies. After all she had a fight going on with Kiba and Lee right? She shouldered the pride of kunoichi everywhere!
As she leapt from building to building, Tenten started noticing more and more of these bestial shinobi. They all had the symbol of Oto somewhere on their bodies, so it was pretty clear who they served. They were faster, tougher and stronger than most shinobi. Pity they weren't nearly as smart or perceptive. Maybe then they'd have survived her skirmishes. Ahead of her, a squad of ANBU was cornered. Why? Because not only some of these beast-like thugs were able to somehow absorb chakra by touch, but also because they had a very powerful shinobi to protect them. An Iwa missing ninja, who while Tenten didn't know who he was, the fact he had covered his entire body with stone and still managed to move, meant he was good. On top of that he seemed real good with protective jutsu. She was thinking on how to best take them out when Jiraiya's green light to unleashing her whole power buzzed into her ear. Could Jiraiya mean she could unleash Muramasa from his sheath? Could he mean she could finally fight properly? Well Jiraiya had said 'go all out', so Tenten assumed that, yes it meant she could draw her black sword. Landing in front of the ANBU group, she giggled merrily. Her hand moved the scroll case on her right thigh, revealing the tattoo underneath. A pulse of chakra later, and Muramasa's sheathed form was in her hand. The demonic blade was happy, Tenten knew. Happy that it could finally cut to kill. With slow deliberate motions, Tenten drew the magnificent form of Muramasa from its sheath. Not a second later, a black and red aura covered the blade as Tenten muttered something audible only to the ANBU.
"Onigiri."
Immidiately, Tenten dashed forward, a stone wall rising to greet her. Her blade flashed and the wall was no more. An enemy in front, two to the right and one leaping above her. Muramasa's blade flashed once horizontally, Tenten making a small spin to take out the two on her side, before rising up in an impaling motion. The one in front and the two to her right fell bisected, still struggling to survive. The one on top was impaled through the heart by Muramasa. Blood fell on Tenten's face. Her smirk changed. It became more evil, more bloodthirsty. She licked the blood as if tasting fine old wine. Tenten's eyes fell on the rest of the enemies and they gulped.
With a sound that was between a laugh and a demonic warcry, Tenten charged, blade first into the battle. They tried to block and the blade passed through, they tried to dodge and she was too fast, they tried to run and she cut them down. The ANBU group blinked as they saw Tenten's glowing blade turn an ambush into a massacre... an enemy's massacre. Soon the only one alive was the apparent leader of the group, the Iwa nuke-nin that had defended them. Tenten's Onigiri bounced off of him, as he used an immense amount of chakra to make his defence stand against it. Tenten smirked.
"Good. You can handle Muramasa's weakest attack. Let's see how you deal with this."
Tenten's youkai flared, creating a double helix of power around her. The blue helix wrapped itself into Tenten, while the red and black one gathered itself around her before taking the shape of a roaring flame. The flame then surged into the black sword. Tenten flourished her sword in front of her before placing it horizontally to the side of her face. As the dragon on the blade began to glow red, almost blinding the ANBU, Tenten thrust her blade forward.
"Onikaton: Maryu Endan! (Demonic Fire Style: Devil Dragon Fire Blast!)"
A dragon shaped blast of blood red fire with a black core blasted forth. The fire lasted for only a second, but it melted everything in a 15ft range. The man never had a chance. He was quickly nothing more than a charred skeleton with a pool of molten rock at his feet.
Tenten wiped the sweat from her brow. Damn, using youkai was tiring as hell. Even after a month, she could barely use this technique twice without fainting. She turned to the ANBU and gave them a peace sign. More than a few of them thought Tenten was bipolar. Not that Tenten would care what they thought. If they too had a demonic sword in their hands that sent them feelings of pleasure when cutting stuff, they too would be weird to say the least.
Tenten turned and looked at the gates, her too noticing the three menacing figures in the gates. Turning to the ANBU squad she spoke.
"I hope you boys aren't too worn out yet. We got a big one there and I call dibs on them. I'll need your support though, cause there's bound to be more over there. Just don't take my kills and we'll be fine." Tenten's smile was as sweet and innocent as one would expect out of a fourteen year old civilian girl. The black sword in her hand though painted a different image to the poor ANBU.
Without waiting for an answer she rushed forward to what could be the greatest battle she had faced till then.
The three gennin, namely Kiba, Lee and Tenten rushed to the point of attack, all meeting on the same roof. In front of them raged three giant snakes, obviously summons. Who could summon them? Of course everyone's most hated snake using bastard; Orochimaru. Suna and Oto shinobi rushed from the gap in the walls. The three friends glanced at each other and rushed forward. An unspoken agreement between them; the one who killed their snake first wins.
Kiba headed to the left one, his mother and sister trying to hide in his tail. Akamaru barked and Kiba nodded, popping a soldier pill and giving Akamaru the other one. Preparations in place, Kiba readied himself, taking out his chained Kama and wrapped it around him tightly. Kiba flew into some handseals before securing his Kama on his hands. It was one of the things he had learned during the month. While he and Akamaru couldn'tr transfer chakra between each other, Akamaru could help with manipulating it, making it easier for Kiba to control it. Kiba's chakra surged through the chain, lighting it up with a blue sparking glow. Kiba's own control over Raiton chakra, boosted by the presence of Akamaru, kept the electricity from hitting the pair.
"Rairou Yoroi. (Thunder Wolf Armor.)"
Kiba sent chakra to his legs and leapt onto the snake.
Said monstrocity took the bait and tried to eat Kiba alive. Kiba smirked as his mother and sister screamed. The snake had eaten Kiba. Tsume and Hana freaked out. Kiba... Kiba couldn't have died. Sure they made fun of him, but he still was family and he couldn't have died. Not that easily. From within the snake's mouth, Kiba's voice was heard.
"Rairou... KYOUZUU ARASHI! (Thunder Wolf Surging Storm!)"
In responce, the snake lit up like a christmas tree. Why? Because the chains wound around Kiba were forcefull unwound. The resulting force, coupled with the abundance of chakra Kiba had due to the pill, made for an absolutely amazing spectacle. If someone could look beyond the blood and gore flying around. The explosive force whith which the chains moved shredded the snake's head killing it in seconds. Of course, gravity took over and the massive being fell, crushing many initially, more later due to the shock causing it to move even post-mortem. Kiba landed on its head and howled his victory.
Meanwhile, Lee was dodging enemies, or well dodging their collapsing bodies as he killed them without stopping. Some distance before the snake's form, he whipped the Quan Dao forward, causing it to spin mid-air as it headed for the snake. Lee's aim was true and the snake was hit below the eye, drawing its attention to Lee's charging form. Lee grinned before pumping all his remaining physical energy to his feet. The ground exploded as he disappeared from most people's sight, only to reappear in front of the snake, twisting in mid-air to deliver a kick.
"Ryu Shippou! (Dragon Tail!)"
BOOM! CRACK! SMASH!
A booming sound deafend those around the snake, Lee's unbelieavably strong kick breaking the sound barrier. The force of the kick was so great that it actually broke the summoned snake's neck (due to a snake's natural flexibility, that should give you a pretty decent idea of how hard that is). Of course with the snake's neck broken, the beast collapsed, falling on those unlucky enough to be under it. Lee landed next to his Quan Dao, picked it up, twirled it around him and took a ready stance.
At the same time, Tenten was having trouble. Her previous technique had taken a lot out of her. Couple that with the worthless scum in front of her, keeping her from her goal and she was getting seriously pissed off. In her mind Muramasa's representation nodded, he had to help his wielder. He'd return to her what he took away. With a nod of his hand, Tenten's world froze, nothing moved. In front of her eyes, Muramasa appeared, his voice echoing.
"Well done my wielder. Even tired you do not give up, even handicapped you possess the pride. While you depend on my power, you do not let it go to your mind. Good. When I first bonded with you, I took a large amount of your youkai and stored it. I knew it would one day come useful if you managed to control me. Now take it back and decimate these fools that stand before us." Tenten had barely the time to nod before time continued.
Tenten's blade glowed and from the bottom, a pair of two long ribbons emerged, one pure black, the other blood red. Knowing they were representations of how much youkai she could draw, Tenten took a small amount and rushed forward, the speed impossibly to most chakra users. Reaching her snake goal, she jumped high in the air, using the snake as a springboard to jump even higher.
After leaping higher than the snake's head, she reversed her motions and pointed her blade at the snake's head. Her youkai flared, reentering the blade. Tenten gave a downright evil smile.
"Onikaton: Maryu Endan! (Demon Fire Style: Devil Dragon Fire Blast!)"
Tenten blasted the snake's head with her demonic jutsu, leaving nothing but a charred skeleton in place of its head, before it collapsed and shattered on the ground, sending lethal shards of insanely hot bone piercing through anything in the 's blade flashed as she landed on the great snake's skeleton.
A horde of shinobi and malformed scientific experiments readied to charge the three exposed Gennin. They didn't get the time as three absolutely humongous toads landed in front of them. On a nearby collapsed house, Jiraiya stood, his face cold and grim. Nobody fucks with Konoha on his watch, least of all that snake bastard Orochimaru. On his signal an counterstrike composed of every chuunin, jounnin and ANBU rushed from the shadows. The tides of battle had shifted. Time for the push to turn into a shove. Already the smart ones turned tail and ran. Jiraiya was soon joined by Lee, Tenten and Kiba. The group turned their attention to the Kage level battle that was taking place in the arena. Their hearts filled with unrest they all thought the same thing.
'Don't die on us.'
Orochimaru stood facing what could very well be his doom. His old sensei supported by the damn Namikaze brat... Naruto raised his hands, palms open towards Orochimaru, two clones with their hands hovering over Naruto's own. Naruto's chakra began to build and Hiruzen charged Orochimaru with speeds the Snake Sennin could barely believe. The Diamon Staff that was the monkey king Enma came and Orochimaru didn't have time to believe, only act.
A/N: Two chappies in a day 'cause I'm awesome like that! I expect reviews from all of you, telling me what you like or don't like.
I hope you liked this chappie and forgive the cliffie of doomness. I'll make sure to write a suitably epic fight with Orochimaru and the others to repay your patience.
Anyway jutsu time.
OniKaton: Maryu Endan (Demon Fire Style: Devil Dragon Fire Blast): By recomposing her chakra to fire, Tenten gets a demonic version of it as she pushes it through Muramasa. Since fire is an offencive element, it gets a significant boost at destructive power, with the downside that it costs much more to use. It is the equivalent of an S-rank technique because, even though it lasts for only one second, it is still strong enough to make glass out of sand at 20 feet. The residual Youkai will also kill any who can withstand the flames themselves. Tenten is only able to use it four times maximum, even with Muramasa acting as a battery for her.
Rairou Yoroi (Thunder Wolf Armor): One of Kiba's few defencive technique, he uses it by wrapping himself with the chain from his kama and charging them with lightning. Currently, he needs Akamaru to help control the charge so he doesn't get hit. The lightning charged chain will move on its own to defend Kiba, as long as what attacks him is ferrous or reactive to electricity. It is most effective for precision attacks, like most taijutsu. A Katon Gokakyou for example would be much more effective than a Housenka. Cost: B, Control: B, Rank: B
Rairou Kyouzuu Arashi (Thunder Wolf Surging Storm): Kiba rapidly unwinds his chain from using Rairou Yoroi, the chain lashing out to anything in range. The closer an opponent is, the more times they get hit. Cost: B, Control: B, Rank: B
Statikku Maakingu (Static Marking): By channeling raiton chakra, Akamaru is able to harden his own hair and charge them with static. Then he can launch them at an enemy or area. If they hit an enemy, Kiba can sense the static electricity and chase them down directly. If it marks an area, the enemy becomes visible to Kiba in the form of a distortion to the field. Kiba uses Makibishi(mouth darts) instead of hair in order to use this technique. Cost: D, Control: D, Rank: D
Raiton: Rairou Hantingu Pakku (Lightnint Style: Thunder Wolf Hunting Pack): Kiba charges the chain of his kama with lightning and whirls them at his sides, making a pair of discs made out of chain and lightning. By whipping his arms forward, the kama, that act as weights, are launched forward. In responce to that, a pair of wolves made out of electricity launch themselves from the kama. It easily causes third degree burns and can even burn the flesh away. Cost: B, Control: C, Rank: B
Ryu no Hada (Dragon's Skin): Lee's sole defencive technique to that point. Lee pumps his body full of physical energy, making his skin as tough as steel, enabling him to shrug off virtually any blow. However it is very tiring, so Lee rarely uses it.
Ryu no Me (Dragon's Eyes): A spiritual energy powered technique, Lee blasts his enemy with his spiritual energy, invoking an aura of majesty and superiority. While not outright hostile, or filled with the intent to kill, it is a powerful enough aura to make jounin cower. Byaugan and other abilities that reveal chakra will often show a dragon coiled around Lee. Often predates Lee's Ryu Moui (Dragon Fury) state.
Ryu Shippou (Dragon Tail): Lee's favourite Ryuken attack, a spinning kick that breaks the sound barrier. Even if the kick doesn't reach the enemy, the shockwave caused by it will. The kick is strong enough to kill a giant snake in a single blow at the head by breaking its neck.
