KG: I'm glad you all could deal with that power-up. It's nice to know that my ideas work. Well nothing more to say than that. I'll get started.
With Sasuke, Sai, and Sakura
The three genin of Konoha were currently still on a ship awaiting their orders to go and fight. They were the backup to everyone else who was already on the field, but this was downright boring. Sasuke seethed as he jumped to his feet.
"Why are we in here? We should be fighting," Sasuke said while Sai drew in his book and Sakura stopped reading a book to listen to the Uchiha's rants.
"Look dick-less we're backup. Those were our orders. Stop being stingy. I'd prefer not to fight this out at all," Sai said while Sasuke growled. He closed his eyes with a small smirk before heading to the stairs going to the upper deck.
"Well I didn't know you were a coward. Well you do whatever. I'm going," Sasuke said while Sakura hopped to her feet as she followed him. Even she knew this was against protocol, but that's the way these things went. Especially for a girl who was sickly in love with the Uchiha.
"Well this is a bad idea and knowing our sensei we're going to get the punishment of a lifetime, but someone has to watch out for your insignificant self," Sai said getting out of the lower deck also. Everyone got up to the front before they saw two rebels.
"Hey, what are you three doing? We weren't given the order to move yet!" one of them said while Sasuke jumped to the edge of the ship. He heard all the fighting going on before he saw Sai draw a small bird which he jumped on along with Sakura.
"We're going to fight and not hide like cowards," Sasuke said making the rebels widen their eyes.
"Brat don't be stupid. You're disobeying orders! He yelled as Sai's bird flew into the air with the entire team riding it. The rebels cursed as they turned around.
"Send a quick message to Zabuza-taichou and Ao-taichou. This is going to quickly become a problem if they aren't dealt with," He ordered and a man nodded quickly as he left to go get his sensory unit underway.
With Zabuza
The Kiri rebel was currently surrounded on all sides by Kiri shinobi, his guillotine sword in hand. He gave a smirk before he jumped into the air.
"Don't get ahead of yourselves. You're still not enough to take me down," Zabuza said as he quickly did a series of handsigns. His chakra flared while everyone gasped.
"Karui, I need you for some backup," Zabuza said as Karui cut one Kiri shinobi down. She turned around and saw the handsigns for a suiton jutsu. She knew what he was planning, but she could only hope that she could do it on her part without making too much of it.
"You got it Zabuza," Karui said as she went into the air also. She went through her own handsigns and her arms cackled in a full lightning bloom.
"Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu," Zabuza yelled making a massive water dragon from the sea near them as it showed it's massive size. It roared with intensity as Karui finished her own handsigns.
"Sandārēzā( Thunder Laser)," Karui yelled as she extended her arm. Immediately to her fear and large blast of lightning flowed into Zabuza's water dragon making it even more powerful. Karui and Zabuza widened their eyes as they dragon roared then slammed into the ground forcing everyone to dodge its power before the ground exploded from the impact. The dust kicked up for everyone, but easily settled down.
"Damn girl. You sure don't know how to hold back do you?" Zabuza asked and Karui rubbed the back of her head. She sheepishly chuckled while she looked at all the injured people on the ground.
"Umm sorry about that," Karui said before Zabuza looked distant. It was like he was receiving a message from some place.
"They did WHAT!" Zabuza yelled out mentally while the sender of the message gulped.
"T-They left the ship. They said that they would fight also. I wanted you to expect them soon," The man said and Zabuza growled before he rubbed the back of his head with an annoyed glare.
"What's the matter with you?" Anko asked rejoining the two while Zabuza folded his arms.
"Those brats of yours are on their way here. Said that they would help fight. This is just great," Zabuza said rolling his eyes while Anko narrowed her eyes. She pinched the bridge of her nose while the Kiri shinobi looked at the what had happened.
"Y-You're kidding. Did you see that? Who is that girl? I didn't think someone like her would be here," someone said as they backed away from Karui in fear. The others could understand before they saw Omoi walking up to them while he rubbed the back of his head with a small yawn.
"You shouldn't be worrying about her. Rather you should worry about me," Omoi told them while they all shifted into a battle ready stance.
"Oh? And what is a brat like you going to do?" they asked and Omoi added chakra to his fist. It was now his turn to see just how troublesome his power was also. The white haired jonin quickly slammed the ground making it shake before everyone's feet. People gasped as they all shifted their balance with the earthquake and even Omoi did the same.
"Okay didn't hold back enough. Great, am I going to die before I even master my own power?" Omoi thought with a sweatdrop.
Everyone tried to stand through the earthquake that suddenly came and immediately people stared to fall to their feet from the pressure of the attack.
"What is this guy? Is this a doton jutsu?" someone asked before a leader or jonin came to his feet.
"Don't falter! We have Yagura-sama with us. We will not fall. Now keep fighting. Take out that redheaded girl immediately. She'll be the most annoyance," a jonin yelled making Karui narrow her eyes while Omoi stood to his feet. They were all ready to start their fight again before someone pointed to the sky.
"Zabuza-taichou, look there. I see multiple orange spots in the sky," someone said confusing the Kiri nin before they all looked up. Everyone widened their eyes when they saw the spots getting bigger and bigger.
"Move!" Zabuza yelled and everyone quickly dodged as multiple fire shots slammed into the ground like a heavy rain shower. People quickly took cover under whatever they could find as they wondered where these shots were coming from. Soon the barrage stopped as they saw three people hit the ground.
"Alright looks like we made quite an entrance," Sakura said while people quickly emerged. They widened their eyes before they were hit over the head by Anko.
"Dammit, you are all stupid. This isn't a game. This is war! I'd send you back, but we don't have time for this. Just don't die," Anko told them and the three nodded.
"Get them!" a Kiri shinobi said and everyone quickly got back into the spirit of war. The sounds of metal clashing filled the air again as Sakura, Sai and Sasuke took to the field.
"Well they're enthusiastic if not stupid," Karui said making Anko nod before they heard a yell.
"Die bitch," a Kiri kunoichi yelled as she charged at Karui. The redhead widened her eyes as she pushed Anko out the way. The purple haired jonin gasped as Karui got stabbed.
"Karui!" Anko yelled making people turn around. Omoi widened his eyes while Zabuza cursed before cutting someone down. Team seven broke from their fighting and gulped while the kunoichi smirked.
"Well I was aiming for you anyway. Looks like you die," she said before she saw Karui look up. The eyes of the coming death were vacant from her face while Karui looked at her wound. The kunai was embedded in her body, but there was no pain.
"Why aren't you hurt?" the kunoichi asked as Karui grabbed her arm.
"Got me, but I'm liking this," she said as she quickly sent a lightning current from her body toward the enemy's making her give a live electrocution before the kunoichi fell to the ground lifeless.
"Karui are you alright?" Anko asked as she looked at the open wound on Karui's body.
"Umm I'm fine," Karui said as Anko took out some medical supplies she was about to treat Karui's wound before she saw a small lightning flash over her skin repairing it fast making the cut seem completely invisible like it was never there.
"What is this woman? She recovered like it was nothing and then there are these powers," Anko said in thought before Karui broke her from her stupor.
"Are you alright?" Karui asked and Anko quickly stood to her feet.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry about that. Come on we still have a lot to do," Anko said and Karui agreed before they quickly went back to their fight.
With Naruto and Mei
"Fuuton: Renkūdan Nami( Wind Release: Air Bullet Wave)," Naruto yelled out mentally and immediately Kaido was blasted away from them and straight into the Mizukage Mansion. He really didn't have the chakra to waste and would be lucky if this would even work.
"Umm that was the Mizukage's bodyguard?" Naruto asked.
Mei gasped in awe over Naruto and what he did. Kaido Hinkaku fell to the ground while Naruto huffed with his arm out. He fell to the ground while Mei came to his aid.
"Naruto-san are you alright?" Mei asked and Naruto nodded. He was just lucky that Kaido had been taken out and by that one jutsu no less, but then again Naruto and his jutsus weren't the same anymore. They were just amazing. He hadn't held back that time and the result that came from that was a big hole in the Mizukage Mansion where Kaido was.
"I'm fine, but my arm slightly hurts. We should keep moving," Naruto said, but Mei shook her head and leaned him to a wall.
"No Naruto-san, you need to rest for a bit. Yagura can't be far so you'll need to calm down. Just hold so I can help you out okay?" She asked and Naruto nodded. He felt Kyuubi already healing his arm and it stung, but he dealt with it. Mei quickly took out some ointment and rubbed it over Naruto's arm. Naruto sighed as he slowly moved it.
"Kyuubi-chan I think this power also varies with emotions. My hand is shaking right now and I can't stop it," Naruto told her and Kyuubi nodded while inside his jacket.
"I know, but you must learn to use it better. Just keep learning it and I'm sure you'll have it down," Kyuubi told him and Naruto could only agree.
After a few minutes of rest, Naruto and Mei quickly shot off for the Mizukage Mansion. They had felt that small earthquake and Naruto could only figure that it was Omoi doing something in the fight, but the most amazing thing they had seen was that lightning dragon that seemed to make the entire ground shake in thunder. It was really an amazing thing, but they could dwell on that later.
Naruto and Mei entered the tower and based on the blueprints of the place they were directly below the Mizukage's office which, thankfully, was still standing despite Naruto's blast from against Kaido. Naruto saw the place where Kaido was laying and narrowed his eyes.
"Come on Naruto-san we have to get moving," Mei told him and Naruto agreed even before he took one more glance to Kaido. They two quickly left before Kaido's unconscious body gave a small smile.
"That's it brat. Go and fight the Mizukage, then when you're all tired and and worn out. I'll be taking that position from both you, Mei, and Yagura-sama," Kaido said as he dusted himself off. He had to play a little acting, but that was okay; However, damn that fuuton jutsu was a bad attack. Kaido could tell that Naruto might be a problem. He almost really knocked the guy out if he didn't try to cushion the blow a little. He had to admit that he might have actually died.
"Well I guess I'll go after that brat when the time comes, but now I will see where this entire war takes us," Kaido said with a small smile.
"I see so that's what you wanted," someone said and the A-ranked nin turned around. He saw Samui came up from on top of the mansion.
"You? What are you doing here?" he asked and Samui narrowed her eyes at him. She could still remember the orders that she received from meeting up with Ao just about half an hour ago.
Flashback
Samui backflipped away from the enemy before quickly disposing of them with a kunai to the neck. She wiped her brow free of the sweat that went around her face. The blonde quickly ran through the thicket of bushes before she was pulled to the side.
Samui reached for her tanto and was about to lunge before someone stopped her hand.
"Calm down Samui-san, it's me," Ao told her and Samui calmed down. She carefully retracted her arm from her sword and calmed down. She saw some of the others fighting also while Ao sighed.
"Ao-san what's wrong?" Samui asked and the one eyed rebel handed Samui a scroll.
"This scroll tell of a man, his name is Kaido Hinkaku. He's the bodyguard to the Mizukage. This scroll tells of all his abilities. From our intelligence we have learned that he is double-crossing Yagura. He plans to wait for both forces to weaken then he makes his appearance. Mei-sama and Naruto are dealing with Yagura. Zabuza and I are leading the main forces. Samui-san, please can you take care of him? At least until backup gets there?" Ao asked and Samui scanned through the scroll. She quickly nodded and put the scroll away.
"Well alright. Just hurry. I don't know how long I can hold him in a fight. Just be ready and I'll do my part," Samui said as she left the field. Ao thanked Maki for Samui before he quickly went back to the battlefield.
It had taken Samui a long time, but she made it to the top of the Mizukage Mansion. She also watched the small conversation between Naruto and Kaido before her brother blasted him through the Mizukage Mansion.
"It seems little brother's powers are manifesting fast also," Samui said as she watched Naruto and Mei enter the mansion. She quickly did the same only to see that Kaido was knocked out. She was about to leave before she saw him get up and dust himself off while explaining his plan to himself and that's how she got there.
Flashback End
"It doesn't matter how I got here. All that matters is that your little plan is going to fail. Count on it," Samui told him and Kaido chuckled as he reached for the sword on his back.
"So the rebels are more capable than I thought, but do you really think you can beat me?" Kaido asked and Samui narrowed her eyes.
"It's not cool to underestimate your opponent," she said and Kaido nodded as he closed his eyes. He quickly smiled before he shifted into a small stance.
"Well then you should make it so that I don't underestimate you. Even if you are a woman," Kaido told her and Samui slightly balled her fists in anger. She was so going to make him eat those words that he just spewed out of his mouth.
"Looks like there is no need to hold back on someone like this," Samui said as she got the chance to use some power for once. The two immediately clashed with each other making their metal from their swords give off small streaks of lightning.
"You're all already dead," Kaido told her while Samui sighed at his arrogant nature.
"Don't be in such a hurry to die," she responded to him as the two dueled it out.
With Naruto and Mei
The two traversed the halls of the Mizukage Mansion knocking down anyone and everyone who got in their way. Mei had to really admire Naruto's strength and power. He really was an astounding young man to say the least.
Soon the duo made it to two exquisite looking doors and Mei turned to Naruto.
"If he's not in here then I don't know where he could be," Mei said and Naruto nodded, but he could feel the very large chakra signature behind the door. This was Yagura. Right behind this door was the Mizukage.
"Well then, shall we go now?" Naruto asked and Mei nodded. The two took one door and they pushed them open as they walked inside. They saw an entire room filled with water and several platforms on it. Yagura opened his eyes and glanced at the two shinobi. He smirked before getting to his feet. He held in his hands a small spiked staff weapon.
"Well I'm glad you two made it. I was getting bored or I thought that you might have died already. Now are you two ready to have some fun?" Yagura asked while Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"Mei-san, how long did you say Yagura had turned into a tyrant?" Naruto asked wanting to be sure of something. Mei turned to Naruto a little confused as to what he wanted to know, but she provided him with an answer.
"Umm about 3-4 years maybe less. Why do you ask?" She wondered and Naruto narrowed his eyes as he placed a finger to his chin.
"Kyuubi-chan, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Naruto asked and Kyuubi nodded. She raised her head from Naruto's jacket and could see the dazed look in Yagura's eyes.
"He's been under a genjutsu and for quite a long time. It must've been quite a powerful one since Sanbi couldn't break it," Kyuubi told him and Mei turned to Naruto.
"What are you thinking?" she asked and Naruto glared at Yagura who was grinning right back at him. The blonde turned to the auburn haired woman and sighed.
"It's not his fault. He's under a genjutsu," Naruto told her and Mei widened her eyes. She looked at Yagura before turning back to Naruto.
"Are you kidding? He's the Mizukage. No way would he be so easily susceptible to a genjutsu," Mei said and Naruto could honestly agree.
"You're right, but I've only heard of one genjutsu that is supposed to be unbreakable. It was the genjutsu from the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. Kyuubi-chan told me that even she had been controlled by it so maybe it's possible, but it would have to be someone with years of Sharingan experience and Sasuke is the only person I know that has one, well him and Kakashi, but he's not an Uchiha so there is that. I really don't know, but he's in a genjutsu," Naruto told her and Mei turned back to Yagura. She was never one to doubt anyone, but the idea of Yagura in a genjutsu seemed almost laughable, but she could feel that Naruto's words were holding some truth. Mei placed a hand on her hip and sighed.
"So this wasn't his fault?" she asked and Naruto shook his head.
"I don't know if he was like this before the genjutsu or not, but I don't think so," He said and Mei sighed again.
"Yagura, you so get a lucky break," Mei thought before they both heard the Sanbi jinchuuriki speak.
"Too late for a strategy meeting. Now that you're here. I can have my fun and show you how I do things," Yagura said as he went through his handsigns. The waters beneath them slowly started to rise as Yagura smiled.
"Just so you know. I wouldn't go in this water. It's highly toxic. It might even kill you," Yagura told them making Mei and Naruto gasp. They each quickly stood on a platform and watched the waters rise, overtaking the door causing no escape.
"Now then let's get started," Yagura said as Naruto took out his twin swords. Yagura took out his staff while Mei took out a kunai. The three squared off before Yagura did multiple handsigns.
"Suiton: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu," He yelled and immediately four clones came out from the water.
"Attack," he simply said and the water clones charged at Naruto and Mei. Mei quickly parried the blow of one of their staffs while Naruto did the same. He quickly jumped into the air and landed on another platform. It was harder to fight than he thought it would be. Mei sidestepped a strike to her side as it nearly pushed her to the edge of the water. Mei cursed her luck before Naruto saw her struggling and did his own handsigns.
"Fuuton: Atsuryoku Kyōfū( Wind Release: Gale Pressure)," Naruto yelled as he extended his palms outward. Immediately a fierce and strong gale of wind slammed into the water clones making them dispel before it slammed into the wall creating a large crack in it. Yagura narrowed his eyes while Naruto grinned like mad.
"Mei-chan think you can break that wall so we can have a better advantage?" Naruto asked and Mei nodded with a smile on her face.
"Don't think I'll let you do that," Yagura yelled as he jumped into the air with his staff. Naruto blocked his staff with his two swords and the two quickly entered a fight with there weapons. Naruto parried al of Yagura's attack with the sword training he received from Bee all those years ago. They were coming in handy now. Naruto managed to slam Yagura across the face knocking him into a wall, but Yagura dissolved into water making Naruto widen his eyes. He turned around only to be met with a slam to the face knocking him into another platform. Mei cursed and quickly did her handsigns.
"Yoton: Yokai no Jutsu( Lava Release: Melting Apparition Jutsu)," Mei yelled as she spewed hot lava from her mouth as it spread over Yagura. The Mizukage growled before he stepped away from the attack only for it to land in the water causing a large mist to rise over them all. Mei backflipped and came to Naruto as the blonde go to his feet.
"Dammit I didn't see it coming. But forget it. We have to get out of here. He has the advantage. Not to mention we need some cover," Naruto told her and Mei chuckled.
"Well alright. I can provide that. Suiton: Kirigakure no Jutsu," Mei yelled and immediately a mist settled over the entire room. Yagura cursed as he saw their forms disappear.
"That trick won't work on me," Yagura said to them both before he saw something blue in the mist. It got closer and closer before he gasped seeing Naruto with the rasengan in his hands.
"Mei-chan go for it," Naruto told her and the future Mizukage nodded with a smile as she finished her handsigns.
"Katon: Shiretsuna Sonzai no Jutsu( Fire Release: Fierce Existence Jutsu)," Mei yelled and immediately a streaming fire quickly went straight for Naruto. The blonde grinned as he appeared before Yagura.
"This is gonna hurt," Naruto said and just before his rasengan hit Yagura. Mei's fire jutsu collided with his technique making it a bright red color. Naruto's eyes burned as he slammed the rasengan into Yagura.
"Goen Rasengan," Naruto yelled slamming it into the Sanbi jinchuuriki. Yagura widened his eyes as the rasengan burned into his body. Naruto gritted his teeth and he sent Yagura into the wall with a loud crash.
"Nice one Naruto-kun. I didn't think that was going to work," Mei said while Naruto looked at his slightly burned hand.
"Well at least we did it. Wait, who am I kidding? He's not down yet, but we need an idea," Naruto told me and the woman could felt that he was right. Yagura would return fast and he would be pissed off at them both.
"That is true so what should we do?" Mei asked and Naruto smiled. He could only hope that this worked out well.
"Alright I have a small idea, but it requires your Yoton techniques. Which I'm surprise you have dattebayo," Naruto said and Mei smiled.
"I have lots of secrets, but let's go over that later. For now we can try and see if we can hold him back," Mei said and Naruto agreed.
Yagura quickly emerged from the hole he was in and growled. His chakra cloak was forming around his body before he saw Mei and Naruto in front of him.
"You die! I'll kill you both," the Mizukage roared showing his bijuu powers while Naruto and Mei nodded to each other.
"If there was ever a time to not hold back then that time was now," Naruto said to himself as he looked at his hands before crossing them.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," Naruto yelled and quickly made a clone of himself. The blonde grinned before Yagura went through his handsigns.
"When I'm done with you there won't be anything left of you for people to remember you by," Yagura yelled as he did his own handsigns.
"Suiton: Daisuiryuudan no Jutsu( Water Release: Great Water Dragon Jutsu)," Yagura yelled sending in a water dragon twice the size a normal one. Naruto and Mei looked at the dragon in awe before the clone of the blonde finished.
"Katon: Gokaki no Jutsu( Fire Release: Hellfire Falls Jutsu)," The clone yelled and immediately it was Mei's turn.
"Yoton: Yōgan Ryōken no Jutsu( Lava Release: Hellhound Jutsu)," Mei yelled and immediately she sent a five lava shots into the clone's fire making it more dark red as it took the color of some blood. Naruto grinned as he finished the entire collaboration technique.
"Fuuton: Shinkusho," the blonde yelled and immediately he sent a mighty wind into the fire making it burst. The two techniques collided with each other and a mist covered the entire room before a large explosion happen making the entire mansion explode.
Samui and Kaido widened their eyes before they escaped the building in a hurry.
The Kiri forces and Rebel forces watched the very symbol of Kirigakure crumble to the ground in an explosion.
"What the hell happened?" Zabuza wondered before Haku cut someone down.
"Is Mei-sama alright?" Haku asked while Omoi and Karui wondered if Naruto would be okay.
"Wow that's a big explosion," Sasuke while Sai folded his arms.
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious dick-less," Sai said to him and unknown to them, some Kunoichi chuckled at that for they found it funny.
With Mei and Naruto
The two shinobi jumped from the building to the ground as they watched the Mizukage mansion crumble away.
"Maybe I overdid it," Naruto thought to himself before Kyuubi popped her head out.
"Yes, yes you did. Naruto-kun, you're letting your emotions rule over your power. Calm down now. It's not good to get flustered," Kyuubi told him while Naruto chuckled.
"It's not like that Kyuubi-chan. I wasn't letting them control my powers. I purposely did that to test the power and it proved to be more than I thought. I actually lost my balance doing it. It was tough, but it seemed like it worked out well," Naruto said in thought while Kyuubi seemed rather reluctant to agree with him, but she could figure that out later. Meanwhile Naruto helped Mei to her feet and they both looked a bit rough.
"That wasn't a very long fight," Mei said and Naruto nodded as he turned around.
"No it wasn't and that's the problem," he said before they each dodged three kunai before looking at Yagura who was slightly burned. His carried his staff in hand and he looked downright pissed.
"I'll kill you! I've had enough of this!" Yagura said as a tail came behind him. Naruto glared and watched a second tail emerge from behind.
"Mei-chan you need to get back right now," Naruto told her and Mei turned to him.
"What are you going to do?" She asked clearly worried and Naruto's eyes changed from blue to their red slits.
"I just know you need to get back. This fight won't be normal anymore," Naruto said as his body became cloaked in Kyuubi's chakra. Seeing this, Mei did exactly as Naruto wanted and backed away willing to provide support if he needed it.
"Try not to destroy the place," Kyuubi told him while Naruto chuckled.
"I thought you reveled in destruction Kyuubi-chan," Naruto said as he dropped to all fours as a second tail came out.
"I do, but not at the expense of the man I love so be careful. Sanbi is a little tricky," Kyuubi said while Yagura noticed Naruto's chakra.
"Well this will be fun. I'll be sure to make you suffer," Yagura before he vanished in a blur of speed d in a blur of speed and Naruto did the same. The two grabbed each other's hands as the place flooded with KI from them both. Their individual chakra natures flared together as they growled.
"I hope never thought I'd actually get to fight you. All of Kumo knows about your exploits," Naruto said in a deep voice while Yagura kicked him into a tree. The blonde cursed as he skidded through the large land before he rebounded and hopped to his feet. He got up only to meet a fist as Yagura smiled. He sent the blonde flying through the trees before Naruto got back up.
"I'm the Mizukage of Kiri. You can't beat me just cause you're a jinchuuriki also. I'll beat you," Yagura said and let out another punch, but Naruto caught the fist and kicked Yagura into the air. Mei gasped at the height before Naruto did his handsigns.
"Katon:Idaina Tochi-En no Jutsu( Fire Release: Grant Earth Flame Jutsu)," Naruto yelled as a trail of blazing fire escaped his mouth and made it's way for Yagura. The Sanbi jinchuuriki narrowed his eyes before he grabbed his staff. He quickly twirled it in a complete circle creating a water mirror.
"Suiton: Mizukagami no Jutsu( Water Release: Water Mirror Jutsu)," Yagura yelled and immediately an image of the fire escaped the mirror and slammed into Naruto's own jutsu making it explode. Naruto covered his eyes from the blast as Yagura brought his staff back.
"You still have a lot to learn before taking me on. I'll show it to you know. My favorite jutsu," Yagura said and twirled his body. Naruto had to be dreaming as he saw Yagura pulled water from the sea towards him. The Sanbi jinchuuriki narrowed his eyes on the blonde as Naruto gulped.
"How can he do that? How strong of a Suiton user is he?" Naruto wondered before Kyuubi talked.
"He's probably the third highest in the world that I've seen. Samui's the first for an obvious reason, second is the Nidaime Hokage and third would have to be him. He's very strong for a human. Looks like you'll need your power to win this even if you suck at using it," Kyuubi told him and Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"Hey I only got this two days ago. Give me a break," Naruto told her and Kyuubi chuckled as Yagura yelled out his jutsu.
"Suiton: Zetsubo no Kiri( Water Release: Despair of the Mist)," Yagura yelled and immediately a thick cloud loomed over Kiri. Naruto narrowed his eyes before Yagura sent more than a dozen water missiles at the blonde. Naruto cursed as he was forced to dodge each one as they destroyed the battleground making Yagura chuckle.
With Samui and Kaido
The two clashed with each other before they each skidded back from the other. Kaido smirked while Samui narrowed her eyes.
"Don't you see it Kumo nin?" Kaido asked and Samui raised an eyebrow. She looked up at the dark sky and turned back to Kaido.
"This is the plague that has ruled Kiri all this time. I will be the eternal light in this darkness," Kaido said and Samui closed her eyes and shook her head.
"You're too hotheaded if you think it'll be that easy. Besides you'll have to beat me to do it," Samui said and Kaido grinned.
"True, so why don't I do it now? Suiton: Bakusui Shōha( Water Release: Exploding Waters Colliding Wave)," Kaido yelled as he opened his mouth allowing a large flood of water to escape and charge at the blonde chunin. Samui slightly gulped before holding out her hand.
"You'll die today girl. Suiton: Daisame no Sakebi( Water Release: Great Shark Cry)," Kaido yelled and immediately the torrent of water roared at Samui in a menacing tone before Samui closed her eyes. She held her hands in the air while Kaido smiled.
"Giving up girl?" He asked and Samui opened her eyes.
"Giving up isn't cool," She yelled as she slammed the ground. Immediately the water parted away from her making Kaido widen his eyes as he jumped off the water that Samui parted. She sweated as she felt the force of the water against her control. It felt overwhelming to say the least. She then realized that in order for her team to do anything then they would need absolute control and will to master these elements. The waters immediately parted for Samui as she stood to her feet. She huffed and watched the water recede away while Kaido stared at her in awe.
"Who is this girl? She took on one of my best technique and it didn't even harm her. What happened? Well whatever I'll just do it again," He said, but he broke from his stupor as he just dodged a kick from Samui. The man backflipped away from her while Samui sighed. She had been using her chakra quite a bit when her control for the water was shot so she was feeling rather exhausted at the moment.
"I've got to do something. I guess I'll retreat," Samui said as she quickly ran away into the trees. Kaido snickered as he put his sword on his back.
"You're not getting away from me," Kaido said as he dashed off after Samui.
The blonde raced through the trees of Kiri and continued to look around. She cursed her luck and knew Kaido was hot on her trail. She quickly dashed off in another direction and narrowed her eyes.
"Where is it? It's got to be around here," Samui said to herself before she was kicked forward. Immediately she crashed into the sand on the beach before coughing and placing her hand over her rib. She turned around to see Kaido walking up to her. She then turned her head an noticed what she was looking for...the ocean. Her control might have sucked, but she had the best control in the group after Naruto.
"And where are you running too?" He asked while Samui stumbled to her feet. She brushed off some dust on her cheek before huffed.
"Who said I was running?" she asked while Kaido smirked.
"Please I saw you run off like a coward. I thought it wasn't cool for cowards to give up," Kaido said while Samui turned to the water.
"Well look at all that water. Now I can really do some damage," Kaido said, but then Samui gave a hidden smirk.
"But not as much as I can," she said as Kaido felt her chakra flare. The waters behind Samui moved back and forth as the dark clouds over Kiri made it even more ominous. Kaido faltered for a bit when he saw Samui's cold eyes as her left hand shook slightly. The waters around her crashed into the sand before she raised her hand. The waters shot up to her command and Samui slightly growled.
"Dammit this is hard. I can't hold this long," Samui said while Kaido slowly backed away.
"What! What the hell are you!" he shouted while Samui sent her hand crashing down. The waters followed and slashed into the shore. The waves slammed into Kaido with an extreme force knocking him through more than a dozen trees which was more than enough to knock him out if not kill him.
Samui sighed as she was drenched in the water. She forgot to protect herself from the water. Well as least she was alright. The girl huffed and fell to the ground. Her chakra was done and she had nothing else. She couldn't do more than that. Soon Ao and his forces arrived. He saw Samui on the ground and rushed to her.
"Samui-san are you alright?" he asked while Samui opened a tired eye to them all.
"Why are you all late? Not cool," She asked before closing her eyes. Soon Ao saw Chojuro who came running towards them,
"Ao-san is she alright?" Chojuro asked and Ao nodded.
"She's fine, just very exhausted. Come on, let's take her back to the ship. Then we'll head back out," Ao said and all the rebels nodded as they left the scene, but not before Samui pointed.
"Before that, please get him also so he stays down," Samui said and everyone turned to see Kaido knocked out or at least dead they figured.
"Nice work Samui-san, we'll take care of him immediately," Ao told her and Samui nodded as they left the scene for real this time. Samui looked up at the dark clouds in the sky before closing her eyes.
"Say Chojuro, where is Mei-sama and Naruto-san?" A rebel asked and immediately there was a loud explosion making everyone stumble for a bit.
"I believe they are wherever that explosion is," he said and people could agree with that.
With Naruto
The blonde huffed as he dropped to the ground. He saw Yagura standing across from him while the ground was littered with shots of his jutsu. The Sanbi jinchuuriki chuckled while Naruto got to his feet finally.
"What are you laughing at Teme?" Naruto asked with his voice still Kyuubi-powered while Yagura folded his arms.
"I've never had so much fun before. You really were the most interesting person, but not it's over," Yagura said before he dodged a small lava bullet. Mei came in front of Naruto and the blonde huffed.
"Mei-chan, you're still here?" Naruto asked and the woman smiled as she flipped her hair.
"Don't worry Naruto-san I'm not gone yet. Now then Yagura, do you think I could have this fight?" Mei asked and the Sanbi jinchuuriki narrowed his eyes.
""Please you're both dead anyway. Now then who dies first?" He asked while Naruto got to his feet.
"Hmph, you think we're weak and yet you're the one trapped in a genjutsu. Oh the sweet irony of it all," Naruto said making Yagura narrowed his eyes. He was about to retort before he fell to the ground and gripped his head in pain.
"Get out! I'm no one's puppet!" Yagura yelled as his chakra roared Naruto and Mei watched as he grabbed his head. Yagura looked at the two and for the first time, Naruto could tell that he was really looking at them both.
"Who are you? Are you the ones controlling me?" Yagura asked while Mei and Naruto shook there heads. Yagura gripped his head again before he fell to the ground.
"Who are you in my head! Get out! I refuse to be controlled," Yagura yelled out while Naruto got to his feet.
"Mei-chan help me to Yagura right now," Naruto told her and while Mei was cautious she did as Naruto asked and took him towards the Sanbi jinchuuriki and Yagura narrowed his eyes at the two.
"Yagura are you a tyrant to Kiri?" Naruto asked and the Sanbi jinchuuriki looked at him in confusion. Mei wondered why Naruto was asking that now.
"What are you talking about? Of course not. I'm the Mizukage of Kiri. I'm no tyrant," Yagura told him and Naruto nodded with a painful smile.
"You mean you don't hate those who wield bloodlines?" Mei asked and Yagura looked at her.
"Why should I? I treat all my people fairly. Where are we going with this?" Yagura asked wanting an explanation. Naruto was about to responded before Yagura grabbed his head.
"No, I'm no tyrant. Kiri is my home. Get out of my head!" Yagura yelled and Naruto quickly placed his hand on Yagura's head. He closed his eyes and quickly his chakra in combination with Yagura broke the genjutsu as they both fell to the ground with their chakra cloaks receding into their bodies. Mei looked at them both before sighing. This really was a weird day for her.
No sooner than five minutes did Yagura and Naruto wake up. They all glanced at each other while Yagura grabbed his staff.
"Who the hell are you and why are you invading Kiri?" Yagura asked cautiously and Naruto huffed. He and Mei glanced at each other and nodded. They told Yagura everything. Him being under a genjutsu. His starting of the Bloodline Purge. The war that's been going on for quite a while and their forces. How Mei wanted to take over as Mizukage and bring peace to Kiri for regular and bloodline shinobi.
When all was said and done Yagura looked at the ground.
"That long. I've been under his control that long? What have I done to Kiri?" he asked horrified of his actions. Naruto and Mei noticed his distressed face. It must've been a real shocker to him.
"The war is going one right now. We have to stop it," Mei said and Yagura shuddered.
"I failed Kiri. I couldn't protect it and now we're dealing with it like this," Yagura said while Mei stood to her feet. Yagura looked up at her and the auburn woman narrowed her eye at him.
"Don't think we're done. We have a long road ahead of us. Hmm it's weird I was ready to fight to the end with you, but then we have this. I refuse to let you die Yagura. You're going to help me whether you like it or not," Mei told him and Yagura narrowed his eyes.
"I'm not fit to be the Mizukage anymore. I agree that you should do it. Now there is nothing for me," Yagura said, but Mei shook her head before folding her arms.
"Sorry, but there is something for you to do. As I said you are going to help me. Now let's go this instant," Mei told him and Yagura nodded. Both helped Naruto to his feet and they walked towards the front lines.
Front of Kirigakure
When the three arrived everyone was still fighting with each other while Yagura narrowed his eyes at the way everyone. He narrowed his eyes before adding chakra to his voice.
"That's enough!" Yagura yelled and immediately people stopped. They all glanced at each other before seeing Mei, Naruto and Yagura together.
"Mei-sama, what is this? Why is Yagura still alive?" a rebel asked while Zabuza and Ao, who returned with his group, were confused.
"This war is over immediately. Kiri surrenders to the rebels," Yagura yelled shocking the Kiri shinobi. They all whispered to each other while Yagura narrowed his eyes.
"Is that clear!" he asked in an authoritative tone. The Kiri nin bowed and immediately knelt down on one knee to Yagura. The rebels kneeled to Mei while Naruto simply stayed out of the way.
"From this day forward I resign as Mizukage. I am sorry to everyone that has put up with my tyranny. I implore that you understand that it wasn't of my doing. I've been told by Mei Terumi that I've been in a genjutsu for a few years and only know do I realize it. I will not make excuses for my actions, but I ask that you understand that Kiri is my home. I would never want to harm it. I heave heard that this war is over the successor to Kiri and about the Bloodline Purge that I supposedly started. I will say this now, I have no problem with bloodline shinobi. I find them as a strong asset to this village and I find no better successor to the Kirigakure kage position that Mei Terumi," Yagura yelled making sure everyone heard. People were stunned to say the least. They had all be some pawn in someone's idea of a joke? To manipulate Yagura there really must be a person to do something like that.
Yagura turned to Mei and bowed.
"Kiri submits to the rebels," He said and none of the Kiri shinobi were going to challenge Yagura's word. They knew they would receive their explanations while Mei sighed.
"Now then will everyone please stop fighting?"Mei asked and people looked at each other. Some growled at each other, but everyone dropped their or sheathed their weapons. Yagura turned to see the destruction of the village and sighed.
"It's all my fault. I should've known better," Yagura said, but Mei patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry. It seems I was wrong also. I thought I knew you, but I didn't. We'll make it a better Kiri starting tomorrow, but for now. We all celebrate the victory, not for the rebels or the Kiri shinobi, but for Kiri itself. We will become a stronger nation thanks to this," Mei said in an excited tone and as expected of the mood. Most people cheered out their joy. Naruto grinned as he dropped to the floor.
"Finally. I thought we were going to do this all night," Naruto said to himself before chuckling. Mei and Yagura turned around and smiled while holding up Naruto's hand.
"And this is the one who helped us do it. Give thanks to Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze," They said to him and the blonde rubbed the back of his head.
"Now that I think about it, why didn't you help me fight? Ya know, use your human form and everything?" He asked mentally while Kyuubi scratched her ears.
"Hey I was fighting. I was giving you my chakra wasn't it? Besides it's not like I can use all my chakra since we share it. We'd have run out even fast and you'd be more tired. Would you like that?" She asked while Naruto sighed, but he shook his head.
"No I guess not," The blonde said in thought making Kyuubi nod. Karui and Omoi sighed as they dropped to the ground. They huffed like mad also with smiles on their faces.
"Finally done. Can we please rest now?" Omoi asked while Karui nodded.
"Yeah, but aren't you happy?" she asked and Omoi nodded with a bit of strain, but it didn't matter. The war was over and people were cheering. Haku smiled and Zabuza gave a small grin.
Pretty soon, medics stormed the place and started healing the injured on the field. People said silent prayers for the dead who didn't make it. All people were treated and on the boats. It was late so most people were sleeping. Team Samui was underneath the deck of the ship and couldn't get any sleep.
"This was eventful wasn't it?" Naruto asked while Samui leaned up. She rubbed her sore arms, but nodded.
"I agree. It was a good experience for us. I hate to say it, but I'll miss this place," Karui said while Omoi sweatdropped.
"We've only been here a day, two if you count yesterday. Besides do you hear people out there? Their all partying while most of the injured rest. How great is that?" he asked while the others nodded.
"So tell me, what did any of you learn about your powers today?" Kyuubi asked and everyone nodded while Omoi spoke first.
"They don't require chakra or rather chakra enhances them to more than we can control," Omoi said making Kyuubi nodded as she wrote this down in a scroll.
"They are super-charged right now. We have no ability to really make them work for us so we need to train a lot harder," Karui added while Kyuubi wrote that down.
"It will take a lot of control to tap into these powers," Samui reported and Naruto finished.
"And their still growing so we don't know how unpredictable they are," the blonde answered and Kyuubi finished as she closed the book.
"Alright that's good. I'll look this over later. For right now just relax," Kyuubi said as she hopped back into Naruto's jacket. Everyone sighed while Mei came below. She smiled to them all while everyone smiled back.
"I see you're all resting. That's good and I'm glad. I just came to say thank you. For everything. You are all great people. I hope to fight along side you again," she told them and everyone could agree.
"It's out mission Mei-chan," Naruto told her and Mei nodded.
"I'd pay you, but umm," she rubbed the back of her head.
"You don't have to. Actually do you have any water, fire, and earth scrolls? Omoi asked while Karui slammed him over the head. Mei chuckled at them, but nodded.
"Sure, I can let you have those if you want them. I have two or three wind scrolls would you like those?" she asked and Naruto eagerly nodded. She smiled and quickly left to go get them. It was then that the Konoha shinobi came under also and smiled.
"Well Naruto it was great to see you after a while. Tomorrow we'll be going our separate ways," Anko told him and Naruto chuckled.
"Don't worry I'm sure I'll see you all again," Naruto told them while Anko nodded meanwhile Sasuke stared at him for a while making Naruto narrow his eyes.
"What?" He asked, but Sasuke didn't say anything and 'hmphed' as he looked away. Meanwhile Mei came back downstairs.
"Here you go. I hope you like these. I enjoyed these the most," Mei said and everyone looked them over before a guard came down.
"Mei-sama, there is a Kumo shinobi here for Team Samui. Said it was important," the man said and Mei raised an eyebrow, but said that they could come. Team Samui waited for them to arrive and immediately they were surprised at who they saw especially Naruto of all people.
"Naruto-kun," the person said as they ran to him. They quickly kissed the blonde making him widen his eyes.
"Yugi-hime, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked and Yugito smiled as she hugged him for a bit making everyone widen their eyes.
"Yugito-senpai what are you doing here?" Karui asked and the blonde jumped back and coughed.
"Sorry it was just good to see you guys, but sorry I have an important message from Raikage-sama. He said that you are to return to Kumo immediately. Forget the missions that you didn't do. This is an emergency for some reason. He didn't tell me why so we need to leave tomorrow," Yugito told them making everyone snicker. They knew why it was like this, but quickly nodded.
"Great, we can even relax for a day can we?" Omoi asked while Karui snickered.
"The life of shinobi I guess," Karui said making the others nod.
"Alright then. Let's go to bed and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Sorry, but we must get going," Samui said and everyone nodded as they left.
"Well I just wanted to thank you for helping Kiri. You have my complete respect," Mei said as she left. Yugito raised an eyebrow before turning to the others.
"It's a long story," they all said as they laid on the bed. They would return to Kumo tomorrow, but no one knew about the seriousness of the meeting that Raikage would bring to Kumo, nor how it would impact their lives.
KG: Alright first things first. Their powers will evolve at certain times. It will take a lot of mastery. I'm sorry if I keep saying that, but I just want to be clear that they won't be godlike. If the Kiri war was kinda short then I'm sorry, but I was going to have Yagura live anyway since I think he's cool. I also wanted Kiri to have their own jinchuuriki and bijuu. It was just a preference of mine. Mei immediately trusting Yagura isn't that serious. He'll just be like her advisor since he's got experience in doing. Overall I don't see Yagura as a bad guy just sort of manipulated and stubborn. That's all I've got. Hope you liked it :).
