p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"Tobirama was barely managing to stay on his feet, tails, arms, legs, barraging the ground around him. He had not even a second between each bombardment, certainly not enough time to weave any seals. Tobirama decided that the only possible retreat was using his flying Raijin jutsu, but he had nearly exhausted his chakra from his water jutsu barrage. He grunted as he dodged yet another glowing tail. "I have only one choice…" Tobirama lamented to himself. Tobirama weaved a single tiger seal and shouted "multi-shadow clone jutsu!" several puffs of smoke burst around the Hokage to reveal perfect clones of himself. The clones rushed Ginkaku and grabbed his tails as they rushed down at them. The real Tobirama began weaving seals at a staggering pace: snake, boar, ram, rabbit, dog, rat, bird, horse, and snake! He clapped his hands together and yelled "This is it! Sealing Jutsu: Reaper Deat-" before the words could escape the exhausted Hokage's mouth, a third arm made entirely of bright red chakra burst from Ginkaku's chest and grabbed Tobirama by the head!/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"Ginkaku snarled and grunted as he lifted the Hokage off the ground. Tobirama struggled in Ginkaku's sinister grip as he realized he was all but out of chakra. "This is it…" thought Tobirama in sadness. Suddenly, a large burst of shining metal cut through the chakra arm, Tobirama fell to the ground, landing where there was once snow, now melted by the heat of Ginkaku's chakra. Tobirama opened his eyes to see a blurry figure flying towards Ginkaku! As he adjusted his vision, he saw Reto! The Kazekage was badly hurt, bleeding from his mouth and chest, it seemed that he had hit a rock when sent flying by the chakra pulse. "Die, beast!" yelled Reto as he flung bullets of golden dust at Ginkaku! Ginkaku was knocked back and struggled to block the bolts of golden metal that struck him from all directions! Reto, using his gold dust as a means of flying, encircled Ginkaku, firing off more golden bullets at him from all directions. Ginkaku roared in pain as the dust bombarded him. "I thought you said you didn't possess a Kekkei Genkai!" yelled Ishikawa, who stood behind the Hokage. Behind him stood all the aids and samurai previously absorbed by the Kohaku no Johei. "I wasn't going to give away all my secrets, old man!" yelled Reto as he continued his golden barrage. Chiyo ran to the Hokage's side as she used her mystical palm jutsu to heal some of his smaller wounds. "Hiruzen…" said Tobirama weakly as he saw his apprentice among the aides, a weak smile gleamed on both their faces. Ishikawa and Ay began rushing at Ginkaku to help Reto. "You're finished, monster!" yelled Ay as he began furiously pounding away at Ginkaku's barrier of chakra that surrounded him! Ishikawa flew to Reto's side as he fired off a large bolt of gold dust. "Thank heavens," said Reto, "I was just about to-" Reto slipped out of consciousness as his gold dust crumbled into nothingness. "Kazekage!?" yelled Ishikawa as he swooped downwards to catch the plummeting Reto. Ishikawa strained and grunted as he lifted the comatose Kazekage off the ground./p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"Ay continued to barrage the now furious Ginkaku. The beast sent one of his tails slamming at Ay, "I don't think so!" yelled the Raikage as he shrouded himself in a crackling shield of electricity! Ay grasped the tail as steam burst from their collision. Ay roared as he lifted the enormous weight of the transformed Ginkaku into the air! "Liger Bomb!" screamed Ay as he launched Ginkaku into the sky, with speed faster than sound, Ay reappeared behind Ginkaku, he grasped the monster's waist and launched both of them at the ground! Ay roared as they both collided with the rock below. A shockwave of dust and energy rushed out of the epicenter. Ishikawa, dragging Reto to safety, stopped to look back, "What a fool…" the Tsuchikage said quietly. /p
