Chapter 59: Wrath Of An Oracle
. . . .
There outside of the ruined building he was thrown into stood the Uzumaki Clan Head. He had the entire top of his clothing torn away by Minato's attack. His chest looked bruised and bloodied, but the determination and powerful confidence the man was exuding was overwhelming. Nine black orbs slowly formed around the mans body and he slowly started to rise from the ground to float in mid air. He raised his cleaver and one of the black orbs attached itself to the hilt of the blade. It extended into a eight foot long poll that turned the massive sword into a giant Naginata.
He leveled the blade to point at Minato and the other undead Kage. "Come and face me if you dare..."
. . . .
Only a handful of Jonin made their move to go help Hiruzen and Hiashi. Those being the most of the Clan heads present and Kakashi. The rest of the forces that had gathered were awe struck at what they were seeing. Naruto was shaking nervously as he watched both his birth father and his adoptive father fight. Hinata held on to him tightly as she watched with him, just as worried for Seinaru. The wound on his chest looked pretty bad and she was surprised he was still able to move.
The rest of the gathered shinobi were just awe struck at the power of the Uzumaki Clan Head. The man was injured with the odds stacked against him, but he was holding his own, no, he was pushing three immortal Hokage BACK! For most it was their first time ever seeing the man fight, or even close to angry. Te usual care free happy go lucky Uzumaki was replaced by a cold and calculating warrior that just refused to stay down long enough for his enemy to get any decisive hits in.
. . . .
Cole's mind and reflexes were working on overtime. Even if the three Kage he was facing were forcibly weaker than they were in life, they were still as calculating as they were in life, and could be damaged in their own attempts without worry. Hashirama and Tobirama were a little more than a distraction for the real threat out of the bunch, Minato.
Between the mans Hiraishin, Rasengan, and Fuinjutsu traps, Cole was getting tied up between sneak attacks and the frontal assault from the Shodaime and Nidaime. And none of the three Kage were leaving much of an opening for him to use.
As Hashirama came in with a haymaker aimed for Cole's face Tobirama came from behind with a leg sweep. And as soon as Cole dodged the attacks he would be set upon by a flash of yellow he would have to force away from him before he could be hit by another Rasengan. Minato may be weakened, but if Cole got hit by another direct hit his already damaged chest would cave in and kill him. Avoiding Minato's attacks were a must, but also finding a way to keep Hashirama and Tobirama down long enough to worry about the former Yondaime was a whole different challenge.
Until something clicked into his mind. The next rush Hashirama made for Cole, instead of dodging he countered. He brought up his Naginata and blocked a powerful punch with its pole. Cole narrowed his eyes and a Truth Seeking Ball down through the Shodaime's arm. The ball severed the arm and Cole used this to his advantage to kick the Kage away from him.
Cole watched the Kage, waiting for his arm to reform, but when it didn't Cole's eyes widened as he nearly face palmed for forgetting. "How the hell could I forget!" he roared at himself. "Time for me to go on the attack!" he yelled t himself as he putaway his Naginata and formed two chakra receiver rods. One in each hand. He charged the Shodaime but was forced back by a strong beam of water. Cole looked to the Nidaime and smirked. "Fine! You first then!" he yelled as he reached out a hand.
"Bansho Tennin!" he roared as Tobirama was forced off his feet and was forcibly dragged through the air over to Cole. Hashirama tried to save his brother and summoned up some wood branches to grab Tobirama. Once Tobirama's movements were stopped Minato appeared next to the Kage and teleproted him out of the way. Cole clucked his tongue as he narrowed his eyes at the three.
Hashirama smirk at Cole. "Looks like you figured out a way to keep us down, but don't expect this to be easy. We are war hardened Kage, we know what will happen if were caught by those rods of yours and or bodies are keeping us from getting hit...But I got to admit, for you to fight all three of us, even if we are weakened, is extremely impressive. Especially since the Yondaime seems to be even better with the Hiraishin than my brother is." he said with a laugh. Tobirama narrowed his eyes at his brother but sighed. "Yes, it seems he is. I can't use it in my weakened state, but it seems you improved the seal so it would require less chakra." he said to Minato. Minato smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his neck.
"Well, you've weakened me quit a bit Seinaru-san," Hashirama started again. "I won't be able to use most of my jutsu now with only one arm, so it seems like I'll be sticking to Taijutsu. Watch out though. We're switching formation and Yondaime-san is taking the lead." he warmed as he got into a stance. Minato drew a Hiraishin kunai and rushed forward. Cole was ready this time however. He used the time they took talking and forming new strategy to make his own trap.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Garo!" Cole said as a plume of smoke formed in the area. The three Kage readied themselves for anything...well...almost anything.
A giant metallic golden arm shot out of the smoke and slashed at Minato, who Hirashin'd out of the way and watched as the smoke cleared. "Time to go all out!" Cole roared as he continued to form hand signs. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Manticore!"
More smoke filled the area and several spikes shot of the smoke at great speeds. Tobirama ended with one in his leg and instantly fell to one knee unable to move. "What the..." he mumbled to himself as he felt a extreme pressure of chakra force him down. The smoke cleared showing a lion like beast with a tail made of black spikes. And behind it was a massive wolf like construct made of what seemed to be gold and fire. On top of the golden automatons head stood Cole. HE smirked as he saw that Tobirama had been hit by the Manticore's spikes. "Those spikes are made of the same material as the rods and Truth Seeking Balls. If I hit you with them you will be immobilized." he said as he started forming hand signs.
Garo inhaled and released a large ball of fire towards Minato. "Fuuton: Renkudan! (Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet)" Cole said as he added his wind to the fire to make it move faster and burn hotter. The fire got close to the Yellow Flash before he disappeared and reappeared out of the attacks range. Only for him to be set upon by the Manticore. Spikes wizzed past his head as he continued to teleport to dodge. Hashirama rushed forward towards the lion like summons and tried to attack it, but was stopped by Cole as he slammed onto the ground right in front of the Shodaime. Hashirama dodged the attack but wasn't ready for the follow up. "Bansho Tennin!" Cole yelled as he brought up a hand towards the retreating Kage. Hashirama was pulled forward as Cole dug a Chakra Receiving Rod into the mans chest. Cole continued to pin the Kage to the ground with the rods until he was completely immobile. "One down," he said as he dashed towards the Nidaime.
Tobirama had finally managed to get up but was struck back down by Cole as he pinned him with more Rods. "Two down," he mumbled as he turned to the still preoccupied Yondaime.
Cole took a deep breath and made a single hand sign. He knew as long as there were Hiraishin kunai he wouldn't be able to catch the man, so he needed them all in one spot. "CHIBAKU TENSEI!" he roared as a small black sphere formed between his palms. He shot the sphere forward until it sat in the air above the Yondaime. "UUURRRAAAAHHHHH!" he roared as the ground started to shake.
Shinobi all around looked around for the source of the small earth quake and their eyes widened when they saw that the ground was slowly rising up to the back sphere in the air. Minato was forced off his feet and was dragged into the air along with chunks of the ground and the ruble of the fallen buildings.
After a moment the Yellow Flash of Konoha was stuck in a large boulder. All of his kunai were trapped inside of it and he had no way out. The only thing out side of the boulder was his hands and his head.
Cole shakily fell to one knee as the boulder floated down to the ground. "T-three down..." he breathed. All three of the Kage were trapped and not going anywhere. The Manticoe shot two spikes into each of Minato's hands and made his body now bend to Cole's will.
. . . .
The gathered shinobi didn't believe what they were seeing. All three of the former Kage...defeated.
They just looked at the three Kage's immobile bodies and to the man that tapped him. The battle field fell silent as Orochimaru made or his escape in the confusion.
The snake tried to return his summons but they wouldn't return. He shook his head quickly and decided just to retreat. Hiruzen saw him run and several Anbu that were with him looked at him for an order. "Don't let him escape! He is injured and weakened from battle!" he roared to his Anbu. They nodded quickly and made chase. Hiruzen looked back to where Cole was to see how he was fairing and his eyes widened.
The silence carried for a long moment before a young blonde Jinchuriki broke the silence with a statement, little louder than a whisper. "He did it..."
