Chapter 11 The Invasion
Yggdrasil = The God Tree
Don´t own Naruto
Arena waiting area
In the moment the Genjutsu was casted Akuma immediately reached out with his senses to locate the caster , he found him leaving the arena over the walls , he created a quick Mokubunshin and sent him after the mysterious genjutsu caster , he himself went over to Fuu who was currently helping with waking up the gennins .
" Fuu , I want you to do something for me . " he told her with a serious tone .
" And what would that be . " she asked .
" I want you to help Naruto and Sakura in dealing with Gaara , ok . " he said and pointed at his two teammates who were just shortly before sent after Gaara to save Sasuke .
" Ok , but what are you going to do . " she asked her boyfriend a little bit worried .
" I am going to help the hokage because if the scream before was any indication , I am currently the only one who can help him . " Akuma stated refering to his own immunity to fire .
" Fine , but don´t you get yourself killed or I will personally drag you back from hell and you own me a dinner for this . " she said before taking off to follow Naruto and Sakura .
" I promise , " he shouted after her and took then off to help his village leader .
With the wood clone
Akumas wood clone had followed the fake Anbu for probably five minutes , time was hard to keep track of if your village is under attack and you are pursuing somebody , when suddenly the figure turned around to face MB directly and showing that he was Kabuto .
" Well , well , well if it isn´t Orochimarus little troublemaker and the current host of the yonbi . " Kabuto said lazily .
" How did you find out . " MB stated shocked that the secret of his original had been found out.
" Oh I already knew when I first saw you , after all a red ball of youkai is hard to miss , but i nearly missed it seeing as youkai is running through your chakra pathways which is something , I would certainitly want to know how it is possible . " Kabuto said and pushed his glasses up .
" How should I know my chakra was like that since I was born , but enough of this chit chat I am here to fight you . " MB stated angrily before shifting into a fighting stance .
" What a pity , but I don´t have time to play with you but how about you play with her instead . " Kabuto said before taking out a scroll and unfurling it on the floor , after that he bit his thump and performed the summoning jutsu and they were enveloped in smoke .
When the smoke disappeared Kabuto was gone and in the place where the scroll once was stood now a woman probably in her thirties with long red hair amethyst eyes and pale cracked skin .
Before MB was able to understand what happened the woman shouted something and nearly a second later MB had to dodge a volley of chakra chains .
" I said get out of the way . " The woman said again before she unleashed another volley .
" Why are you warning me if you are attacking me . " MB asked her .
" I am an Edo Tensei , my body is moving on his own , controlled by the order of the summoner , but I don´t want to do this so I will warn you when , I attack oh and the only way to stop me is to seal me away . " The woman replied .
" Well , at least something , can I know your name lady . " MB asked .
" My name is Kushina Uzumaki and who are you and by the way dodge . " she said and the chains came at MB again .
" MB dodged and then he responded : " I am a Mokuton Bunshin created by Akuma Heremori to pursuit Kabuto Yakushi which I failed and do you b any means know someone name Naruto Uzumaki . "
" You know my Sochi are you perhaps a friend of him . " she asked cheerfully .
" Yes , I am a friend of him and as a friend of him I want to other you something Lady Kushina . " MB answered finally switching into offensive and lashing out with roots towards Kushina.
" What could you offer me I am already dead . " Kushina asked slightly amused .
" That is the point you are dead , I offer you a second chance , my Clan has a forbidden jutsu that can revive somebody who is dead If the body and the soul are in the same place in exchange for the users own chakra and life force , but seeing as I am just a bunshin I may need to use a little bit of nature chakra for this , so do you accept my offer Lady Kushina . " The Mokuton Bunshin asked her while secretly directing his roots behind her .
Kushina was shocked , i mean not everyday somebody offers you the chance to revive you , but the thought that she would finally be able to raise Naruto was what made her give this answer .
" I accept your offer . " she said while crying before her body became completely encased in roots and everything went black
" I am sorry Lady Kushina but after I am done I will displell and until the real me gets here and releases you from this cocon you will be trapped there . " MB stated while going through handsigns .
" It´s ok as long as I am able to see my sochi again , " Kushina answered .
The Mokuton Bunshin stopped on the sign for ape and said Yggdrasils SoulSmith , after that the cocon begun to glow white and Kushina felt that her body was slowly becoming her own again .
With a last good luck the now nearly grey form of the Mokuton Bunshin turned to dust and disappeared .
With the real Akuma
After giving Fuu her order Akuma sprinted towards the triangular purple barrier that was clearly seeable through the village .
Ocassionaly some sound nins would appear in his way but without so much as a single word he went right through them sword drawn and after he reached the other side of their group they would collapse , sliced in half and laying in their own blood and organs .
When the Barrier was only a street gap away he jumped right towards it , a withnessing Anbu screamed at him to stop and get away or else he would be burned alive but Akuma just ignored him and continued onwards , then there was it the moment when his forhead meet the barrier and the Anbu were watching terrified that a gennin of their village would run straight into the purple death of his own will , that may have been right for anybody else but for Akuma the moment he made contact with the barrier he only felt a comfortable warm which washed over his body as he passed right through now surounded in purple flames .
The remaining members of the Oto Five and the anbus couldn´t believe what just happened after all they had all seen what had happened to the Anbu who had tried the same thing earlier .
After getting inside Akuma found himself surounded by deep forest , which was quiet odd stating the fact that he was currently on the top of a building , but he stopped thinking about it seeing as he wouldn´t be able to come up with a realistic solution so he kept to just finding the Hokage .
It didn´t take him long to acomplish his goal and when the hokage got into his view , Akuma was suprised that the Hokage and Orochimaru weren´t alone , but that there were also two people in armor fighting against the hokage , after getting a close look at the faces of the two other men and recieving the memories of his clone , he understood that those two were the previous hokage who were controlled by Orochimaru using Edo tensei .
For now Akuma decided to watch and to think of a plan to help his leader , that was until Sarutobi made two Kage Bunshins and Akuma felt a chill going down his spine after withnessing the two identical figures that appeared after the clones of the village leader , those figures were familiar to him but he didn´t know why and after listening to one of the clones exclaiming the name of the justu while sealing away the Edo Tensei with his brother , he finally knew what that before him was , it was the Shinigami the God of Death in person , Naruto had once told him about the Jutsu and that the Soul of the user would get eaten by the Death God after casting , so Akuma thought it was quiet logical to use clones for the sealing and it was quiet funny seeing Orochimaru panicking when his two puppets disappeared , but that amusement stopped when the Figure appeared behind the Hokage himself , it was at that moment that Akuma couldn´t just watch anymore he burst out of the woods while firing a ball of condensed magma at orochimaru who dodged but got one of his Arms molten by the heat of the Attack .
" Akuma what are you doing here and how did you even get in . " The third Hokage asked the Shinigami look alike Gennin .
" I am fireproof remember and I could ask you the same . " he said and the last part shocked Sarutobi because he knew that only the caster and the victim were able to see the Shinigami and only if he wanted it so .
" You can see him . " he asked .
" Of course I can and ... , " Akuma stopped when he felt the Shinigamis eyes resting on him , what the fuck are you staring at . " he finished while pointing a finger into the Shinigamis face .
Orochimaru was still hiding trying to make sense of the Situation , so only the Hokage was withnessing one of his Gennins accusing the God of Death , oh if it wasn´t his last moments on earth he really would have wanted to take a picture of this scene .
What Sarutobi didn´t know was that currently the Shinigami and Akuma were having a kind of Conversation in his mindscape , but seeing as it was a white plain , Akuma knew it wasn´t his .
" Why am I here and why are you even able to speak to me , I am pretty sure a jutsu is not supposed to do so , " Akuma said without a single hint of fear .
" The Shikifujin is a summoning jutsu I am very much alive and you little one are an interesting one . " The Shinigami said .
" Huh , how so . " Akuma asked the Bringer of Death confused .
" Your chakra is not human and you look isn´t either but I know that the last fact is from that seal on your shoulder , but what is really interesting me is your soul ." The Shinigami said never taking his eyes of his mini me that was standing before him .
" My soul , what is with my soul , I mean I know you are the collector of souls but that can´t be it . " Akuma said still not understanding what the white figur in front of him was saying .
" Your soul is quiet similar two the ones of my sons , Morio and Iblis,I know Morio is sealed deep in the land of ogres but I never found the soul of Iblis . " He told the know slowly understanding and paling Akuma .
" You don´t think . " Akuma said to the Death God who was grinning now .
" Oh , yes I do I finally found it , my son , you are the reincarnation of my son Iblis . " The Shinigami said and laughed evily .
Akuma was shocked to his core but now everything made sense , his resistence to fire his Eyes the transformation of his curse mark the youkai in his chakra paths and his love for blood . Akuma closed his eyes and took a long breath before standing up and regainig his strength he looked the Shinigami straight in the eyes .
" Even if i am your son and possibly what my clan says I am is true , I don´t care my name is Akuma Heremori , Gennin of Konoha , Jinchuriki of the four tailed demon ape Son Goku and Son of the God of Death , it will change nothing for me , the only thing that changed is that I finally now my true origin and before I go , I have a request to you , father . " He stated while turning his back to his so called father .
" And what would that be , son " the Shinigami laughed .
" Spare the soul of the old man see it as repaying me for making my life a living hell . " Akuma said and slowly walked forward .
" So shall it be my Son , " The Shinigami said before giving a final laugh and disappearing .
Back on the outside
Only a second had past when Akuma got back and he stepped out of the way with a grimm face .
" Go on old man I will not stop you , no more so I will help you . " Akuma stated before suddenly Orochimaru charged at them Kusanagi drawn and ready to strike , but he never got that far as roots locked his feet in place and the Kusanagi was flung from his hand .
The third Hokage went towards Orochimaru as fast as he was able to with his wounds before standing in front of orochimaru and telling him how sad he was that it had to come to this before the shinigami begun to pull at orochimarus soul , but Sarutobis wounds were to deep and so he was only able to at least pull out his arms before he said SEAL and Orochimarus arms went black , the Shinigami disappeared after giving a last smirk towards Akuma and the third Hokage collapsed from his wounds , but still alive .
The Sound Three lifted the barrier and made their way to escape with their master , ready for the second when Akuma would attack , them but he just stood their next to the unconsioucnis hokage watching the last of Shukaku disappear , which told him that Naruto and Fuu were also succesfull . He waited until the Sound Nins disappeared with their leader before picking up the knocked out Hokage and disappearing towards the next hospital seeing as the invasion was over , withe their trump card defeated and their leader barely alive .
Akuma was glad that the Shinigami had kept his word even if the price for it was a high one .
After dropping the hokage of at the hospital and reassuring the staff that he was alive they immediately brought him away to treat him after withnessing them bringing the Hokage into a hospital room he went of again to finish what his clone had begun .
After reaching the place where the wooden cocon was he opened up the front and gave a small bow to the woman inside , which he knew was the mother of his friend .
" So how does it feel . " he asked her .
" Huh , " was Kushinas answer .
" I mean how does it feel to die . " he asked this time completing his question .
" It´s like sleeping without ever waking up , but why would you ask that . " she said while titeling her head in confusion .
" I see thank you , Lady Kushina , if you would please follow me now we have to hide you until the Hokage wakes up , so that they don´t think you are an impostor . " he said trying to avoid the question .
" Did something happen to Sarutobi , " she asked .
" No he was just heavily wounded in his fight and needs his rest now , so please follow me to the next best hiding place , please I really need to get home and sort my thoughts after everything that happened today . " he said and slowly went in the direction of the old uzumaki compound .
Kushina knew something was bothering the teen but she didn´t want to but into something private so she just followed him in the hope that she would soon be able to see her son again .
Damm that took me longer than I thought but hey , at least we get some things cleared .
Yes I know Morio , probaply doesn´t have a brother and he surely isn´t the son of the Shinigami but hey who cares it´s my story so my rules . Also this is how Kushina is revived , we got some facts over Akumas origin and history also Iblis is the God of Flames hence the fire immunity and the Youkai or demonic chakra .
Well until next time ,
