Chapter 4: Fight of the Kage
"You're finished!" yelled Byakuren making rapid hand-seals. A total of 32 hand signs were weaved by the Mizukage, with Kinkaku looking on analytically. "Water Style: Torrent Deluge!" screamed Byakuren as the entire room began to fill to the brim with water! Kinkaku quickly concentrated his chakra and formed a protective bubble around his head, filled with air. Byakuren dropped his cane as he swam furiously towards Kinkaku. Kinkaku prepared to curse him but soon realized that it was too late, A large spear of solid Ice stabbed through his chest! "Ice Style: Tearing Frost!" Byakuren screamed as the ice spear began to tear Kinkaku apart! Blood began to fill the water with a reddish hue; Byakuren smirked, revealing his transformed, razor-sharp, teeth. Kinkaku lay floating in the water, the ice melted. Kinkaku then began to quickly heal, and began radiating an orange glow!
"What is this?!" Screamed Byakuren, his voice muffled by the water, the cloak of orange glow shrouded his body as his deep wounds began to close up! Kinkaku then charged at Byakuren with a scream. Byakuren gasped as Kinkaku swiftly delivered a startling punch to Byakuren's gut, causing him to spit blood. The shockwave threw The Mizukage back towards the wall. Kinkaku began to swim quickly down towards the old man, ready to deliver another blow. As he approached the Mizukage, he saw him make one last hand sign. "We're both finished…" said Byakuren, "Lightning Style: Wave of Inspiration!" The entire room full of water illuminated with crackling electricity. Byakuren and Kinkaku screamed as they were electrocuted by the final jutsu of the old man. The shock was so great it burst open the earth wall.
As the earth wall rose from the ground, sealing off the other Kage from Byakuren, Ginkaku rose from a slump on the ground. "Surrender!" ordered Reto as he began to make hand-seals, ready for Ginkaku's response. Ishikawa began making hand-seals as well, "I don't care if you surrender" yelled Ishikawa, "You'll be turned to dust!" realizing it was too late to dodge, Ginkaku watched in terror as a translucent cube of pure energy hurdled towards him. The cube, coming in contact with his arm, began to expand! A large flash revealed that the jutsu had turned Ginkaku's left arm into nothingness. "My aim's off… Must be my bad eyes…" murmured the Tsuchikage. Ginkaku, unfazed by the powerful attack, began to charge at the Tsuchikage. Reto aimed at Ginkaku and yelled: "Wind Style: Wind Blade!" The Kazekage shot a sharp blade of air rushing at Ginkaku, Ginkaku held up the Shichiseiken and blocked the blast of wind. As he was blocking, Tobirama weaved quick hand signs and shouted "Water Style: Cutting!" A sharp stream of water gushed from his mouth, striking Ginkaku in the chest, sending him flying back, crashing into the earth wall.
As the three remaining Kage surrounded Ginkaku, the wall behind him glowed brilliant white and burst open! Water from the bunker spewed forth and created a tidal wave that knocked both Ginkaku and the Kage back! As the water drained, the bunker revealed the bodies of both Byakuren and Kinkaku, charred and electrocuted… both dead. Ginkaku began to retreat towards his fallen brother. Tobirama used his Flying Raijin jutsu to teleport behind Ginkaku, making him stumble forwards and to the ground in defeat. Ginkaku looked up at the Hokage, towering over him, ready to execute the terrorist. Ginkaku began to cackle psychotically.
Tobirama looked in curiosity at the brother who sent a great pulse of pure chakra energy that knocked Tobirama back on his face. The remaining Kage watched as a large, red energy beam shot through the rough and spread throughout the entire compound. "To me!" ordered the Tsuchikage, "Earth Style: Earth Dome!" Ishikawa slammed his palm on the ground and a hollowed out dome made of earth formed. Ishikawa flew underneath along with Reto, who was helping Tobirama up. As the energy beam came closer, Reto realized that either he had to throw Tobirama to safety or jump to safety himself without the excess weight.
