Naruto Shippuden -H-: Chapter 017: The Terror of Zaire Senju
Zaire stood in front of the seven Iwagakure Shinobi, after they had followed the footsteps of the attackers of their village.
"Look you trash, I don't know who you are but I suggest you leave now, I am here to kill whatever bastards murdered my family and village." said Joakim as he glared at the near seven foot Zaire.
"Yes, yes, you said that already, I am a member of the shinobi that killed your village, so I guess that means I am a target of you seven men as well." said Zaire with blood shot eyes.
"You motherfucker, everyone stand behind me, I will put this fucker on his ass!" yelled Joakim as he pointed his specially marked kunai towards Zaire.
"Huh, what the fuck is that thing, am I supposed to be fuckin' scared or something, I mean goddamn, I would not want to hurt any of your feelings or anything, hahahahahaaha!" laughed Zaire maniacally.
"Earth Release Teleportation Dagger Technique!" yelled Joakim as he threw the marked kunai at great speeds towards Zaire.
"The rest of you, use your jutsu now!" yelled Joakim to his six fellow Iwagakure shinobi.
"Earth Spiked Prison Technique!" yelled the six men as they combined their chakra to create a huge prison around Zaire made of crags of rock and spikes, with an opening for the kunai to strike.
"Heh, what the hell is this shit supposed to fuckin' do, hehehe?" laughed Zaire as he was not taking the situation seriously.
"Laugh at this, you backwoods ignorant fuck!" yelled Joakim as the kunai struck Zaire in the right side of his neck and immediately exploded into limestone that drenched the tall man and filled the earth prison.
"Only one more thing to do, light this baby up!" yelled Joakim as he and the other six shinobi used Fire Release: Fire Jet Stream Jutsu to harden the quicklime and create a burning rock that glistened as night came about.
"That piece of shit has one hell of tombstone, don't you think, Joakim?" asked one of the Iwagakure soldiers.
"Yep, that was a nice combo guys, now let's try to track down the rest of those fuckers before morning rises, after that, I will return to Iwagakure to report this incident to Lord Tsuchikage at once." said Joakim as he and his men started to walk on a trail that headed out of the canyon.
"Hey folks, what's the difference between jam and jelly?" asked Zaire with a deranged expression as he appeared in front of the seven shinobi, blocking the trial leading out of the canyon.
"What...what the fuck, how did you escape that jutsu, the kunai struck you right in the neck, you should have died from that alone." yelled Joakim with anger.
"Hehehe, you can't jelly your cock up a dead girl's ass." said Zaire in response to his previous nonsensical question.
"You are just a maniac, we will send you to hell now!" yelled one of the soldiers as they ran towards Zaire with a large hammer that he summoned out of a scroll.
"Oh, I guess no one appreciated the joke, oh well." said Zaire as he caught the hammer with his bare hands and broke the wooden handle of the weapon.
"Shit, backup, help!" said the distraught soldier as three more stood in front of them, each with axes and exploding tags.
"We will not let you harm anyone else, you sick fool." said another of the Iwagakure soldiers valiantly.
"Awww, we have some heroes over here, but do you know what fuckin' happens to heroes boys, they always end up with THEIR TAILS BETWEEN THEIR LEGS!" yelled Zaire as he help up his right fist and brought it down with great force on the head of the Iwagakure shinobi that was closest to him.
"Fuck, Ishami, are you okay?" asked Joakim as he was enraged further by this occurrence.
"Get him!" yelled the five Iwagakure shinobi that remained in front of Joakim as they all charged towards Zaire with great intensity.
"Okay, this will be some good exercise for me." said Zaire as he also ran towards the five shinobi and quickly vanished, only to appear behind them and started to perform hand signs.
"He is fast, how the hell did he do that?" asked one of the confused shinobi.
"Wood Release: Spiked Wood Spears Technique!" yelled Zaire as he caused several large trunks of wood to emerge from directly below the five soldiers, impaling all of them, before they could react.
"Fuck, fuck, damn, Joakim,...run." said one of the Iwagakure shinobi as he died from the injuries sustained from the Wood Release Jutsu.
"It looks like all five of them Iwagakure shinobi are dead, I guess you rock ninja are just a bunch of fuckin' pussies." said Zaire as he turned his attention to Joakim.
"Well, you killed my comrades too, I have nothing more to say to you, prepare to die!" said Joakim as he pulled out a sword and ran quickly in the direction of Zaire.
"Lava Release: Quicklime Prison Technique!" yelled Joakim as spat out a large stream of the substance towards Zaire.
"Listen pal, it is almost midnight by now, I am really bummed that no one found my joke funny earlier, and I also have nothing fun to really do, so I will take you as a prisoner, so I can have fun torturing you!" said the tall, long-haired muscular young man as he allowed the quicklime to surround him.
"Stupid, you did not even bother to dodge, and now I am going to cut that ugly mug of yours off!" yelled Joakim as he ran his sword through the neck of Zaire, beheading the man where he stood, or so he thought.
The beheaded body turned into a tree as Joakim was flustered, not knowing what to do now.
"That was the Wood Clone Technique, very good for fooling opponents into thinking they have you cornered, but it seems you did not see through it either." said Zaire as he stood right behind Joakim, with his left fist aimed at the Iwagakure shinobi's head.
"How do you know the Wood Release, from what we learned from shinobi of Konohagakure, Only Hashirama Senju could use it." said Joakim as he was not willing to give up yet.
"Well, Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, Zetsu, and Danzo could also use it, but they were just copies, I am not a copy, and as for you, well, you will be my plaything." said Zaire as he rammed his fist towards Joakim's head.
"I will not let this happen!" yelled Joakim as he ducked, avoiding the punch, and retaliated by ramming his sword through Zaire's abdomen.
"Huh, you just stood their again, is this another wood clone?" asked Joakim who had lost his fighter's spirit.
"No, not this time." said Zaire as he grabbed Joakim's right hand, and tore it off with his bare hands.
"Fuck, ahhhhhhh!" screamed Joakim as he passed out due to the pain.
"Well, I had to do something to knock you out, and shock associated with sudden pain is the best way." said Zaire as he removed Joakim's sword from his abdomen and threw it away.
"You are coming back with me, anyone who opposes the Apathetic Judge does not deserve to live anyway." said Zaire as the stab wound on his abdomen seemed to heal immediatley.
Zaire carried the unconscious Joakim with him out of the canyon as midnight finally came around, Zaire was headed in the location of the Sun-Braced Grove, located outside of Lazarus.
Jesei was still traveling swiftly by foot, remembering how Sakura had overcame his jutsu.
"My Mind Release: Adam's Protective Whim Technique had never been trumped before, I guess I better make sure not to fall prey to that Mastery of a Hundred Seals when I fight that girl for real, she is very good after all." said Jesei as he decided to rest by a tree for the night.
Naruto and his team had decided to camp out in a cave located in the desert, as they were close to the border of the Land of Roses, where Ishigakure was located.
"We will be in the Land of Roses tomorrow, it will also be our third day on this mission, if my memory serves me correct." said Shikamaru as he leaned against a wall, smoking a cigarette.
"That was amazing Sakura, how you were able to overcome that bastard with the Mastery of a Hundred Seals Jutsu, I bet Tsunade would be jealous, hehehe." laughed Naruto as he congratulated Sakura on her accomplishment.
"Thank you Naruto, but there are many more effects of my jutsu that anyone have yet to see." said Sakura.
"That Sakura, she is probably strong enough to be a Kage in her own right, just like Naruto and Sasuke, I guess I am the weakest of Team Seven after all." thought Sai to himself, although he was quick to remember his wife, Ino waiting at home, which seemed to make him a little more happier.
"Let's get some rest for now, we will need it for what ever comes tomorrow." said Shikamaru.
Sasuke had arrived at the border of the Land of Lightning, and decided to take a rest of his own for the night, as it was now two in the morning.
"Tomorrow, I will tell the Raikage, and Mizukage of these occurrences, and then I can finally join Naruto, and help him against these freaks." thought Sasuke to himself as he kept his Rinnegan active and was looking for any spies or followers that may be in his location.
Antoine and Lehourihm had entered the further sections of the Castle of Leviticus, located in the mountain range that the castle was built on, the time was around three in the morning.
"I heard that Zaire had returned with an unconscious Iwagakure shinobi that he was able to confiscate." said Lehourihm with a blank stare as the two men exited the elevator that led to the basement floor of the back end of the castle.
Screams of despair and misery could be heard from all of the rooms located in the mental institution-like area of the castle.
The area had many pipes, which were leaking water that was dripping all over the floor, many overpasses, which had the windows blocked out, hung over the main walkway of the back end of the Castle of Leviticus. Shadows of people inside the overpass could be seen pushing gurneys with bodies through towards other rooms with more screams and cries.
"Man, the boss sure does have a busy crowd today, eh?" asked Antoine who did not seem bothered by the environment.
"We need to look through some reports pertaining to the location of Madara Uchiha's body, and what happened to it after he was expelled from Kaguya, following her defeat." said Lehourihm as the two men entered a hallway at the end of the main lobby of the nightmarish basement.
"The Intelligence Department is located down this hallway, I am sure Dreatoen will be there as well, he will probably help us find the document, he is the one that keeps these things in check after all." said Antoine as he had a can of tropical whisky in his left hand.
A man dressed in a doctor's suit and surgical mask greeted the two Knights of Dawn as they arrived at the Intelligence Department located deep in the catacombs of the basement of the castle.
"Dreatoen is not here, but he did anticipate that someone would be looking for this document, here it is, Lord Antoine and Lord Lehourihm." said the doctor as he bowed to the two men.
"Thank you Channard, we will be leaving now, be sure to keep the Slaughterhouse smelling fresh." said Lehourhim to the doctor as the two men left the area with the document in tow.
"So, are we going to revive Madara Uchiha and give him another shot at the Moon's Eye Plan?" asked Antoine with confusion.
"Well, he was betrayed by Kaguya Otsutsuki, and the boss believes that Madara deserves another chance to do things his way, so we will revive Madara, and our boss will seal the Ten Tails within him, allowing him to have a chance to redeem himself." said Lehourihm.
"Well, in any case before we go to meet the Apathetic Judge about this situation, we better go visit Orochimaru's brother, Hirudeguarn first, he will know how to use the Reanimation Jutsu." said Antoine as the two men returned back into the main lobby of the boiler room-like basement.
"Hirudeguarn Naga is on the fifth floor of the back end of the castle, he will tell us how to revive Madara, then we can go tell boss our discovery." said Lehourihm with a smile on his face.
Orochimaru and Team Taka had arrived at the border of the Land of Roses, as they decided to camp in for the night as well. Orochimaru stood on a limb of a tree keeping watch of the area in front of him, as Jugo joined him.
"Go hang out with Karin and Suigetsu, I wish to be alone." said Orochimaru to Jugo.
"They are asleep, besides, a lot of animals have been coming to me lately, telling me that a powerful chakra is in the vicinity of our location." said Jugo.
"I know, Naruto and a few others are on there way to Lazarus as well, let's just be sure that nothing happens to Naruto while he is out and about." said Orochimaru as he looked up at the moon as it slowly descended towards the mountainous horizon.
"Brother, what do you want from Naruto, what is it, could it be what I wanted from Sasuke?" asked Orochimaru with a smile on his face.
